drinking some chimay and reading....

....about the swiss during WWII

mostly i keep looking up the bank the dad works for. i would imagine now they are more one the level but one has to wonder.

there are many interesting articles on the subject of the war, looted gold and the BIS bank.

i find this all very fascinating.

it's hard to ask joachim 'hey can i go with you to the BIS vaults to see some swastika gold' and i think that talking about hitler is a really sensitive subject especially with the germans.

the swiss have been neutral for far longer than when WWI started.....it is the involvement of the US federal reserve and US banks and the BIS that i find pretty interesting.

it's also hard to talk to joachim about it because well, he's german...his parents were alive during the war....i am sure that with the 'regular folks' of germany they just wanted the war to be over and did what they could to live and probably felt really bad about the issue of death camps. i figure i would too....dissent is not unamerican but it certainly was a punishable crime in nazi germany.

here is a photo of some clouds. i know....how peaceful!
