'Nazi guard' Demjanjuk charged for killing 28K Jews

Could justice prevail in this case?

German prosecutors have formally charged John Demjanjuk (right) with 27,900 counts of being an accessory to the murder of Jews during World War II.

Demjanjuk, who was deported from the U.S. in May, is accused of serving as a guard at the Sobibor extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland during the war.

The 89-year-old auto worker says he never hurt anyone, claiming he was a Red Army soldier captured by Germans in his native Ukraine and kept as a prisoner of war.

Here's what frustrates me about a case such as this one: if he's guilty of assisting in the murder of thousands of Jews, then no charges, no trial, no bad press, no poverty, no prison time could ever settle the score. No amount of pain inflicted on him could compare to what the Jews were subjected to during the Holocaust.

So other than to serve justice and set the record straight, his arrest and imprisonment (if convicted) couldn't possibly offer much comfort to the victims. Long-term torture, might, but that's out of the question within the present judicial system.

The charges were filed Monday, but no details about a trial were released.

Doctors say he's fit to stand trial, but Demjanjuk's family say he is too frail to stand trial because he suffers from kidney disease, cancer and arthritis. In May, he was admitted to hospital for three days after developing gout, the BBC reported.

Demjanjuk arrived in the U.S. in 1952 as a refugee, settling in Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked in the car industry, according to the report. In 1988 he was sentenced to death in Israel for crimes against humanity after Holocaust survivors identified him as the notorious "Ivan the Terrible," a guard at the Treblinka death camp, but Israel's highest court later overturned his sentence after former Soviet Union documents showed "Ivan the Terrible" was another man.

Demjanjuk returned to the U.S. but lost his U.S. citizenship in 2002 because he had not disclosed his work at Nazi camps when he first arrived as a refugee. Three years later a U.S. immigration judge ruled that he could be deported to Germany, Poland or Ukraine. (Three years...it took them three years to arrive to this ruling, and meanwhile he was living happily in the U.S.).

In March 2009, Munich prosecutors issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of being an accessory in the deaths of Jews based on documents proving his Nazi background, including an SS identity card that showed he had been a guard at Sobibor between March and September 1943, and on witness testimonies.

If Demjanjuk is innocent, he should be very scared because prosecutors evidently have enough evidence to convict him.

If he's guilty, he--and his family--should be celebrating that he got a 65-year get-out-of-jail-free card after murdering nearly 28,000 innocent people and that he got to live and prosper in the U.S. as a refugee, with U.S. citizenship handed to him on a silver platter in an act of generosity and compassion. No need for long faces...he got away with it all up until now, when he's about to die anyway.

Where's the justice in that?

Jew hater opens fire in Holocaust museum

I've been avoiding this story all day. I'm not sure why.

Maybe I'm sick of racist sociopaths with guns. I mean, what else is new? Another Jew-hating psycho.

But we're approaching the end of the day, and as my fear of commitment to the story wanes I find that my desire to add this prick to the list of nominees for this week's Sick Fuck of the Week Award is greater than my ambivalence, so here we go.

In a nutshell: an 88-year-old white supremacist armed with a rifle opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., killing a security guard and unleashing hours of panic before he was shot by two other guards. Last I heard he was in a hospital in critical condition. (Police photo of James von Brunn)

That's because we're civilized. Otherwise, what would be the point of saving an 88-year-old sick fuck who opens fire on men, women and children hoping to murder some Jews because of a deeply ingrained belief system that couldn't possibly be "adjusted" or rehabilitated if he lived to be a thousand years old?

You think I'm being too harsh or negative? Read on.

James von Brunn--wow...a von-something...I've always wanted to be a squeaky clean von-something...not!--has an anti-Semitic website called Holy Western Empire and wrote a book in 2002 entitled "Kill the Best Gentiles!"

The website apparently has been removed by the authorities (I'm assuming for investigation purposes), but below is an excerpt from the book posted by Anderson Cooper of CNN where von Brunn explains what he calls the "American myth" of equality, which he claims Jews fabricated to disguise the reality that "Men and races are NOT created equal."

The “American myth” (created by JEWS) alleging our Founding Fathers intended that all races, from pygmy to Ainu, be invited to our shores, is based on Thomas Jefferson’s words in the Declaration of Independence: “…all men are created equal.” The meaning of this much quoted statement has been distorted by the ILLUMINATI which subjectively is re-writing history and wielding the alleged “HOLOCAUST” like a battle-ax at the heads of those proclaiming genetic certainties: Men and races are NOT created equal.

Jefferson’s statement can be understood only in context of his Era. Our Founding Fathers were Aryans, men of good breeding who understood, empirically, the great differences existing between strains of horses; strains of live-stock; races of men; and between individuals: knowledge confirmed today by the natural sciences of Genetics, Eugenics, and Anthropology. Hitler, as American boobs are beginning to learn, was not all wrong.

This Annapolis, Md., bigot killed Stephen Johns, 39, a six-year employee of the museum, which has been a target of at least one domestic terrorism threat in 2002, when two lovely members of white supremacist groups plotted to build a fertilizer bomb, like the one used to destroy an Oklahoma City federal building, to blow up the Holocaust museum and incite a race war.

Ironically, I bumped into a white supremacist forum last week while researching forum directories, and I decided to take a look at it out of curiosity.

I landed on a thread about relationships and the importance of making sure they don't date anyone who is not 100% white scientifically speaking. They research multiple generations and even take DNA tests to prove their supremacy with precision. Anyone whose blood has the slightest chance of being polluted by an ancestor of another race, be that Jewish, Asian, African American, Arab, Native American, Hispanic, you name it, is a non-person, an untouchable, scum.

What really impressed me was their confidence that they themselves are pure, even though anthropologists tell us that Africa gave birth to mankind. Although that's one of a number of theories, worldwide human population genetics do point to Africa as the origin of man.

Which means that white supremacists, neo-nazis, Aryan nationalists, odinists, white power skinheads, along with the rest of the world, are Africans.

Peace.
