  • To All Asa Comm Unit Vets
    Page 1 of 14 TO ALL ASA COMM UNIT VETS TRIVIA QUESTIONS: What does Dachsbau mean in English? What was the name of the park where Dachsbau was located? Dachsbau was just off what street? What was Dachsbau used for by the German army in WWll? THE DAY DACHSBAU BURNED TRIVIA ANSWERS: Badger's Den, Grueneburg Park, and August - Siebert Strasse. Dachsbau was used as a mess hall by the Germany army during WWll (per Joe Tovarek). The German army leased the I.G. Farben building in 1940 for office space and used Dachsbau for dining. I'm presuming it was for enlisted personnel and that the building directly behind the Farben building (the Officers' Club) was for officers. Grueneburg Park is said to have been used to hold Allied POWs as one website states or for war refugees as Joe tells me. Page 2 of 14 Did you know that Dachsbau, the ASA Frankfurt Communication Center, had a major fire on December 8, 1971 that led to its closure? I didn't until I started this project. I was on the phone with Ray Anfang when he brought up the subject of the fire. It was the first I had heard of it and it led me down a curious and interesting path. Ray was an MOS 345 Crypto Maintenance & Repair SP5 and a Duty NCO at Dachsbau. He later transferred to ASAE S3 at the Farben Building where he was promoted to SSgt. He spent thirty years in the army with an incredible list of duty sites including Viet Nam, Iran, Presidio of San Francisco, Vint Hill and TDY trips all around the world inspecting crypto facilities.

  • The Rockefeller Syndicate by Eustace Mullins
    The Rockefeller Syndicate by Eustace Mullins. The Rockefeller Syndicate Excerpted from the book Murder by Injection by Eustace Mullins. [back] Chapter 10 Many American conservatives believe as a matter of faith that the Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign Relations exercise absolute control over the government and the people of United States . This thesis can be accepted as a working formula if one remains conscious of the larger issues . Two writers for whom the present writer has great respect, Dr. Emanuel Josephson and Morris Bealle, insisted on focusing on the Rockefellers and excluding all other aspects of the World Order . This severely limited the effect of their otherwise ground breaking work on the Medical Monopoly. This writer advanced a contrary view in "The World Order," fixing upon the Rothschild monetary power, which reached a point of world control by 1885, and its London policy group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, as the policy makers for what has essentially been since 1900, re-established colonial government in the United States. The colonial, or occupation, government, functions primarily through the Council on Foreign Relations, but only as the subsidiary of RIIA and through the Rockefeller Foundation which controls government functions, the educational establishments, the media, the religions and the state legislatures. It is true that the American colonials have "free elections," in which they have the absolute right to vote for one of two opposing candidates, both of whom have been handpicked and financed by the Rockefeller syndicate. This touching evidence of "democracy" serves to convince most Americana that we are indeed a free people.

  • Program of the GEBIN
    16th Meeting of the GerminalCenterConference Frankfurt, July 5-9, 2009 Dear Participant, Welcome to the 16th International Conference on Lymphatic Tissues and Germinal Centres in Immune Reactions also affectionately known as the Germinal Centre Conference (GCC). This conference has a long- standing tradition of more than 30 years in which leading scientists meet to discuss recent developments of innate and adaptive immunity with special emphasis on in vivo biology. Topics such as mechanisms underlying lymphoid tissue formation, B and T cell immunity and stro- mal cell-leukocyte interactions are traditionally covered. The 16th GCC also marks a turning point in the organization, as it extends its tradition in two new directions. In one embodiment, math- ematical modelling is maturing to a point where this tool provides sig- nificant assistance for the design and interpretation of complex immuno- logical experiments. In addition, current modelling now allows testing a variety of hypotheses in silico to make predictions for the behaviour of biological systems that can be tested in real experiments. As such, modelling has become a powerful tool to speed up immunological dis- covery. Therefore, a major focus of the 16th GCC will be to compare descriptions and predictions of immune responses derived from in silico simulations with in vivo results. A second extension will be the presentation and discussion of systemic approaches to immunity. In a holistic perspective immune responses are set into a functional context that allows to study the interaction between subsystems of the organism. Within the 16th GCC, systemic approaches will be featured which investigate the interaction between innate and adaptive immunity, the emergence of autoimmune diseases and the interaction of the immune system with the neuronal and the endocrine system.

During the second half of 1954, the 6900th Security Wing relocated from Landsberg AB to Frankfurt am Main, Germany— moving into the IG Farben Building. Located near the Main U.S. Army Post Exchange on WAC Circle in downtown Frankfurt, the Farben Building already housed European offices of the Army Security Agency, Naval Security Group, National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency. Personnel assigned to the 6900th SW shared some of the finest facilities and amenities in Europe—comfortable family housing and an American high school, excellent enlisted quarters, extensive, well-stocked post exchange facilities, and the plush Terrace Club (officers) and Topper Club (NCO's). Single enlisted men of all American services lived in Army billets. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Air Force Lineage and Honors Created: 16 Jun 2020 Updated: Sources Air Force Historical Research Agency.

THE RAPID INDUSTRIALIZATION OF GERMANY, 1815 - 1914 F. GERMAN INDUSTRIALIZATION, 1850 - 1914 F. GERMAN INDUSTRIALIZATION, 1850 - 1914 1. Introduction: The Beginnings or ‘Take-Off’ of German Industrialization a) During the later 18th and early 19th centuries: i) certainly many regions of Germany experienced some significant economic development, during the later 18th and early 19th centuries. # especially in the Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne [Köln], Dresden, and Frankfurt-am-Main regions. # Hamburg and the other former Hanse towns (Bremen and Lübeck) remained important for commerce ii) German towns of the old Hanseatic League: (1) the following German commercial towns had been the most important components of the former Hanseatic League, which had dominated northern European commerce from the later 13th to 16th centuries: # the German Baltic towns, led by Hamburg and Lübeck, # and the German Rhenish towns, led by Cologne, another major former Hanseatic town. (2) their subsequent relative decline in international commerce did not mean that they became economically unimportant. (3) Hamburg in particular remained one of Europe’s leading shipping and commercial centres iii) Trebilcock: notes a long, slow, but important period of economic development, 1780-1850; and this you can read for yourselves, of course.1 b) But that economic growth was generally slow and quite uneven up to the 1850s: (1) in agriculture, industry, banking, foreign trade, etc.; (2) and thus Germany was well behind France and the Low Countries, not to mention Britain.

  • Murder by Injection: the Story of the Medical Conspiracy Against
    CHAPTER 1. THE MEDICAL MONOPOLY The practice of medicine may not be the world's oldest profession, but it is often seen to be operating on much the same principles. Not only does the client wonder if he is getting what he is paying for, but in many instances, he is dismayed to find that he has actually gotten something he had not bargained for. An examination of the record shows that the actual methods of medical practice have not changed that much through the eons. The recently discovered Ebers papyrus shows that as early as 1600 B.C., more than nine hundred prescriptions were available to the physician, including opium as a pain-killing drug. As late as 1700, commonly used medications included cathartics such as senna, aloe, figs and castor oil. Intestinal worms were treated by aspidium roots (the male fern), pomegranate bark, or wormseed oil. In the East this was obtained from the flowers of santonin; in the Western Hemisphere it was pressed from the fruit and leaves of chenopodium. Analgesics or pain relievers were alcohol, hyoscyamus leaves, and opium. Hyoscyamus contains scopolamine, used to induce "twilight sleep" in modem medicine. In the sixteenth century, Arabs used colchicum, a saffron derivative, for rheumatic pains and gout. Cinchona bark, the source of quinine, was used to treat malaria; chaulmoogra oil was used for leprosy, and ipecac for amoebic dysentery. Burned sponge at one time was used as a treatment for goiter; its content of iodine provided the cure. Midwives used ergot to contract the uterus. Some two hundred years ago, the era of modern medicine was ushered in by Sir Humphry Davy's discovery of the anesthetic properties of nitrous oxide.

  • Die Sammlung Als Labor XIV: O.T
    Die Sammlung als Labor XIV: o.T. 06.04.2003 - 11.05.2003, GfZK-1 Künstler: Günther Förg kuratiert von Heidi Stecker Günther Förg IG-Farben-Haus II IG-Farben-Haus V IG-Farben-Haus XI 1996, Farbfotografien Die Fotografien wurden bereits in der [Collection 2000] gezeigt, einer Ausstellung mit Arbeiten aus der GfZK-Sammlung im Jahre 2000. Dort hingen sie in einem unruhigen Durchgangsraum, zwei Fotografien an einer Wand, die dritte an der anderen und ohne jeglichen Kommentar. Folgerichtig wollten viele Besucher und Besucherinnen wissen, was es mit dem Haus auf sich habe. Bei einer Führung fragten Jugendliche, warum Förg dieses Gebäude fotografierte, obwohl es offensichtlich unsaniert und an ihm nichts Besonderes zu beobachten sei. Vorzuwerfen ist ihnen nichts, erst recht nicht den oft bei deutschen Schülerinnen und Schüler gerügten Mangel an Bildung. Von deutscher Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts waren diese in der 9. Klasse noch ein Schuljahr im Geschichtsunterricht entfernt. An ihre Fragen schließen sich die nach der Wertigkeit eines künstlerisch fokussierten Objektes (oder Subjektes) an: Wem darf Kunst ihre Aufmerksamkeit schenken? Was sei künstlerischer Beachtung wert? Sofern die Besucherinnen und Besucher meinten, dass sich Kunst dem Exklusiven widmet oder zu widmen hat, sahen sie sich in einem Dilemma. Warum ist dieses Gebäude etwas Besonderes? Eine erneute Präsentation sollte also anstreben, Informationen zu vermitteln. Bei der Vorbereitung der Präsentation war in einem Text über die erste Ausstellung der Fotografien zu lesen, dass sie auf dem Fußboden gestanden hätten. Diese Lösung auratisiert die Fotografien weniger als eine übliche, museale, entrückte Hängung, die den Blick stärker ästhetisiert. Mit einer Schnappschüssen ähnlichen Art des Fotografierens wendet er sich absichtlich gegen eine herkömmliche Architekturfotografie; er fragt nach dem Zusammenhang von Ästhetik und Herrschaft.
