HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ARMS MERCHANT

"The (stolen Cezanne, Degas, van Gogh and Monet worth $163.2 million) Zurich (Museum) works came from the collection of the late Emil George Buhrle, a German industrialist based in Switzerland who built his fortune selling arms to both Nazis and Allied forces during World War II." By Geraldine Baum of the Los Angeles Times

Cultured monsters moving in polite circles of smiling men and women, donate from their blood-profits so the hoi polloi may enjoy the fruits of their perfidy. The value of his donation was but a small portion of the profits reaped by Buhrle from the stream of blood that flowed from the veins of bodies torn apart by through his industry - with government approved arms purchased with tax money paid by the millions of families whose sons provided the bodies so that Buhrle and his business competitors could profit.

The important history lesson of the day is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto others - but never do unto you."
