Reports the criminal activity of police officers and military soldiers; or would it be
more appropriate to say “monitors the activity of criminals masquerading as police
officers/soliders. There is a wide range of illegal incidents taking place around the United
States (U.S.) involving law enforcement; this is also happening internationally by U.S
soldiers. This is not new in the U.S.but it definitely merits better attention than the corporate
media is giving it.
The SchutzStaffel (SS), under the leadership of Henrich Himmler’s, grew from a
small paramilitary formation to one of the largest and most powerful organizations in the
ThirdReich. Built upon Nazi ideology, the SS was responsible for many crimes against
humanity during World War II (WWII). The SS, at its peak, fielded almost a million men
(both on the front lines and as political police). According to the Nuremberg Trials, aswell
as many war crime investigations and trials conducted since then, the SS was responsible
for the majority of Nazi war crimes. In particular, it was the primary organization which
carried out the Holocaust.
As the Nazi Party monopolized political power in Germany, key government functions such
as law enforcement were absorbed by the SS, while many SS organizations became de facto
government agencies. To maintain the political power and security of the Nazi Party (and
later the nation), the SS established the SD (Security service) and took over the
administration of Gestapo (Secret state police), Kripo (criminal investigative police), and
the Orpo (regular uniformed police). Moreover, legal jurisdiction over the SS and its members was taken away from the civilian courts and given to courts run by the SS itself.
These actions effectively put the SS above the law. The SS was banned in Germany after
1945.
