done a few decades previously with his petrochemical investment business.
1925 On the other side of the Atlantic, in Germany, the first chemical / pharmaceutical cartel is founded in order to compete with Rockefeller’ s quest for control of the global drug market. Lead by the German multinationals Bayer, BASF and Hoechst, the I. G. Farben cartel was founded with a total number of employees surpassing 80,000. The race for global control was on.
1929, November 29 The Rockefeller cartel( U. S. A.) and the I. G. Farben cartel( Germany) decided to divide the entire globe into interest spheres – the very same crime Rockefeller had been sentenced for 18 years earlier, when his trust had divided up the U. S. into“ interest zones”.
1932 / 33 The I. G. Farben cartel, equally insatiable, decides no longer to be bound by the 1929 constraints. They support an uprising German politician, who promises I. G. Farben to militarily conquer the world for them. With millions of dollars in election campaign donations, this politician seized power in Germany, turned the German democracy into a dictatorship and kept his promise to launch his conquest war, a war that soon became known as WWII.
In each and every country Hitler’ s Wehrmacht invaded, the first act was to rob the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries and assign them – free of charge – to the I. G. Farben empire.
1942 – 45 In order to cement its global leadership with patented drugs, the I. G. Farben cartel tests its patented pharmaceutical substances on concentration camp inmates in Auschwitz, Dachau and many other sites.
The fees for conducting these inhumane studies were transferred directly from the bank accounts of Bayer, Hoechst and BASF to the bank accounts of the SS, who operated the concentration camps.
1945 I. G. Farben’ s plan to take control of the global oil and drug markets has failed. The U. S. and the other allied forces won WWII. Nevertheless, many U. S. and allied soldiers had lost their lives during the conflict, and the allies’ reward was little compared to the rewards of others. The corporate shares of the losers, I. G. Farben, went to the Rockefeller trust( U. S. A.) and Rothschild / J. P. Morgan( U. K.).
1947 In the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, 24 managers from Bayer, BASF, Hoechst and other executives of the I. G. Farben cartel were tried for crimes against humanity. These crimes included: leading wars of aggression, instituting slavery and committing mass murder. In his final pleading, U. S.-Chief Prosecutor Telford Taylor summarised the crimes committed by these corporate criminals with the following words:“ Without I. G. Farben, the second World War would not have been possible”.
Amazingly, the real culprits for the death of 60 Million people in World War II – the I. G. Farben executives – received the mildest verdicts. Even those executives directly responsible for the crimes in I. G. Auschwitz only received a maximum of twelve years in jail. Surprised? You shouldn’ t be.
