You have American flag + SS flag used in Germany by the SS

Nazi mysticism and is most commonly used to refer to the insignia of the Schutzstaffel (SS) of the Third Reich.

Guido von List in his "Armanen runes" called the rune sig, apparently based on sigel, thus changing the concept associated with it from "sun" to "victory"

The SS sig runes design was created in 1931 when Walter Heck, a Sturmführer in the SS, drew two reversed and inverted sig runes side by side and noticed the similarity to the initials of the SS. Heck sold the rights of the sig runes to the SS for 2.5 Reichsmarks, and the runes were quickly adopted as the insignia of the Schutzstaffel and became one of the most commonly used forms of SS unit insignia.

Now think about what is going on in Afghanistan
with the heroin trade


U.S. Identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan

The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.

The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.

An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys.

Who needs Lithium?
Corporations
So we invade a country ...like Hitler invaded Belgium or like Stalin invaded Poland
and nobody stops us because we are a big army
and we invade Iraq and we invade Libya and now we invade Syria and next Iran


not to say those guys in Syria Iraq were not dictators themselves but the pattern of invasion is
one similarly used by Hitler

this says many things to many people
