DJ, with money, all nicely digitalized and stored in servers, I suppose it's easy to rob individuals. Just mark the accounts as "Jew" or "Chinese" or "Jay" or "Loser Kiwis" and depixelate them as required. Getting gold would be relatively difficult, but that link shows the Nazis figured out how to do it. With cybermoney, there's no need for the barbarism here: <...With the help of informers and torture the coworkers of Eichmann forced the defenseless to give away the hiding places of their jewelry and gold. So "the vault of the Vélissariou street filled up like Ali Baba's cave with all the treasures of the world". writes Michael Molho, the Greek-Jewish Chronicler of the tragedy . "On the tables neatly ordered in different heaps, lay rings with diamonds and jewels of all nuances and sizes of, brooches, Medallions, bracelets, gold chains, wedding rings, clocks of all kinds of forms, coins, arranged according to pictures and years, American and Canadian dollars, Pound Sterlings, Swiss Francs etc.. On the floor vases, Chinese porcelain containers, rare objects, enormous piles of carpets. In this rooms the abundance of wealth has been piled up, which even the effusive fantasy of a Alexander Dumas would not be able to make us see through the eyes of his Monte Christo". Just concerning gold Germans amassed, based on reliable statements from the year 1946, "an impressive quantity of over 12 t. fine gold" . For this purpose even the graves on the age-old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki, converted into development land, were plowed through for gold. The Germans used the robbed gold in a very efficient way. They used it, with knowledge of the Greek financial administration and assistance of Greek brokers, for support purchases at the stock exchange. When in July/August 1943 it started to go down the slope, the inflation rose again steeply. Therefore the Germans in their last year of the occupation flew eight tons of gold to Greece to additionally support the currency. This gold was loot as well - from all over in Europe, not from Jews, but also. The transport to Greece points out however, how important these means were in paying the daily war costs. "The advantage of the gold sales", summarized the Hitler's special emissary to Greece, " is technically speaking the relief of the printing press, since through gold substantial quantities of notes can be withdrawn in cash for the needs of armed forces". > When marauding starts, there aren't many places to hide. Best to get the UN revamped so that it means something sensible. The current constitution is a post WWII joke, bearing no resemblance to any democratic ideas. Since the USA is all for democracy, they could start by requiring the UN to be reconstituted to reflect democratic realities - such as lots of people in India, Japan and Germany. France is trivial compared with those. France needs to be disarmed, like Iraq. Terrorist states should all be disarmed. In fact, because they targeted civilians, the French leadership should be charged with crimes against humanity [those who are still alive from the Rainbow Warrior murder]. Cart them off to the Hague and put them in a cage with Milosevic. France has weapons of mass destruction and has shown they are not responsible enough to have such weapons. Mqurice
