German scientists brought to United States to work on rocket technology

    I find this article very interesting as the bringing in of these German scientists brought about 

some terrible ramifications for our country. One of the worst things that happened to many children in the 1950s through the 1970s was the 'Cold War Projects' also known as the Bluebird project or 'Artichoke'. Nazi doctors were hired by the US government and unfortunately, they were trusted and left to do their 'experiments' on children and also a group of people who were in the military. (These doctors were left unchecked and they worked with the CIA, while only 3 CIA agents were aware of what was going on at the time). These German scientists were experts in 'mind control' programming. Remember, these doctors were Nazis and they did not lose their vision just because they were here in America. After the war, these doctors would either be taken in by the Soviets or the the US. The American government thought quickly and brought them over here before the Soviets could get to them. I believe today we are reaping the devastating consequences of what these doctors were trying to accomplish in their experiments. Although this article doesn't bring all of this information out, you can go on the web and do your own research. Here are some keywords: Project Artichoke, Manchurian Candidate, Bluebird Project, mind control experiments, Dr. Mengele, Angel of Death, cold war project.

   You can also find information about this from a woman who was a child whose father brought her in to the 'compounds' for her to be used as experimentation. Her name is 'Carol Rutz'. She has a lot of articles about what she went through and she survived the ordeal, and was able to take the government to court to make sure that the documents that were written up on this were made open to the public. (Declassified documents). She also wrote a book called, A Nation Betrayed, and made a movie as well.

With all this in mind, here is today's article:

In a move that stirs up some controversy, the United States ships 88 German scientists to America to assist the nation in its production of rocket technology. Most of these men had served under the Nazi regime and critics in the United States questioned the morality of placing them in the service of America. Nevertheless, the U.S. government, desperate to acquire the scientific know-how that had produced the terrifying and destructive V-1 and V-2 rockets for Germany during WWII, and fearful that the Russians were also utilizing captured German scientists for the same end, welcomed the men with open arms.Realizing that the importation of scientists who had so recently worked for the Nazi regime so hated by Americans was a delicate public relations situation, the U.S. military cloaked the operation in secrecy. In announcing the plan, a military spokesman merely indicated that some German scientists who had worked on rocket development had "volunteered" to come to the United States and work for a "very moderate salary." The voluntary nature of the scheme was somewhat undercut by the admission that the scientists were in "protective custody." Upon their arrival in the United States on November 16, newsmen and photographers were not allowed to interview or photograph the newcomers. A few days later, a source in Sweden claimed that the scientists were members of the Nazi team at Peenemeunde where the V-weapons had been produced. The U.S. government continued to remain somewhat vague about the situation, stating only that "certain outstanding German scientists and technicians" were being imported in order to "take full advantage of these significant developments, which are deemed vital to our national security."The situation pointed out one of the many ironies connected with the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union, once allies against Germany and the Nazi regime during World War II, were now in a fierce contest to acquire the best and brightest scientists who had helped arm the German forces in order to construct weapons systems to threaten each other.
