Auschwitz Series- after BBC documentary

1 “You need to find a better way of killing. Not for the victims…for the murderers.
Hence:
Wall Street bail outs.

2 Krakau, Osweicm

These strange spellings,
You care not
To make the connections?

The faces of t partiers,
Republicans, right wingers.
Draw the dots,

Faces of
The resistance subject to
The “hanging torture”…

Here is an address: Megan Rice, Reg # 88101-020
MDC Brooklyn
METROPOLITAN DETENTION CENTER, P.O. BOX 329002, BROOKLYN, NY 11232

Protest against
Nuclear destruction and the state
Has its response:

Obama, the House/Senate,
Complicit in war crimes:
Drones, waterboarding, bs wars.

A slight difference
From Nazi state.
You draw the lines.

Take the steps of resistance.
Violence against women,
Voter suppression.

Become a partisan.
And if necessary…
In the streets/woods.

Auschwitz 3

To the Pacifists :

To kill an inmate
Who had eaten another inmate’s
Food? Easy!!!!!!!

(Watch your food
So no one steals it!)
(You have to survive).

Auschwitz 4

To the Pacifists 2 :

Hoss’s barber: “I could have
Stuck my scissors in his neck and
What would that mean?
My death, my family’s, half the camp?”

Auschwitz 5

Block 11

Starvation cells and
I pass by…
The indifference is:
Today is your turn.
Tomorrow mine.

Auschwitz 6

Huge German corporation_
I G Farben:
Lime and coal- and Auschwitz
An ideal location.
As always is
Captalism interested=
Slave labor expanded…
Into our century?

Auschwitz 7

to German survivor involved in mass murder

What are you feeling
As you shoot?
“Nothing…
Aim carefully…
My hatred for the Jews
Is that great!
They cheated me!”

8

The selection
Of disabled adults follows
“Children”- a center
Near Dresden…

“Tell them
To have a shower”Look for these centers
AROUND YOU 2014.
When you hear the word “treatment”?
Do not believe it.

9

I can/will not
Be angry
At those who can/will not
Connect dots!

They have their reasons.

10

to the victims:

“When people are
Shocked you can
Do with them
What you will!”

Thus try not to be
Shocked!
Resist before
It happens.

Sniff out wall St./ republicans
Take appropriate action!

11

Bottled carbon monoxide
To kill the disabled? Too expensive to ship.
Try such mass murder alternatives
As drones, tweek the
Murder alternatives:
Exlosives in Rusland
Prussic acid, xyclon B.
