SIEMENS: Monopoly with Sinister Nazi Past
German monopoly Siemens AG.Siemens, headquartered in Munich and operating in 190 countries, is moving its entire energy research operation from Ontario to its existing office in Calgary. The provincial agreement with Siemens fits well with the government’s plans to tie university research more closely to the needs of the monopolies — Siemens is already researching oilsands emissions. The agreement also aligns with Alberta’s “International Strategy,” part of which is to further sell out the province by increasing direct foreign investment.
After the signing, Lukaszuk praised Siemens as a company with “reputation” and “profile” but carefully omitted the content of that reputation and profile. In 2007 and 2008, Siemens was hit with multi-million dollar fines for price fixing and bribery. On a much more sinister note, in the 1930s, Siemens helped fund the rise of the Nazi Party and the secret rearmament of Germany. During the Second World War, Siemens backed the Hitler regime in return for lucrative contracts, contributed to the aggressive war effort and participated in the “Nazification” of the economy. Siemens had many factories in and around notorious concentration camps to build electric switches for the military. In Auschwitz, tens of thousands of prisoners worked in a Siemens factory that supplied the camp with electricity.
During the final years of the war, Siemens moved its manufacturing to regions unaffected by Allied bombings. By the end of the war, Siemens was operating almost 400 alternative or relocated manufacturing plants, which supplied electrical parts to concentration camps. Malnutrition and death were common in the camp factories. The factories were created, run, and supplied by the SS, which under Himmler’s command was responsible for crimes against humanity during World War II, in conjunction with company officials. During this time, Siemens used forced and slave labour at Ravensbrück concentration camp and in the Auschwitz subcamp of Bobrek, among others.
After 1945, Hermann von Siemens, head of the company, was charged with war crimes. The charges were later dropped and he was reinstated to help the Anglo-American imperialists rebuild Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union, which had led the world’s people in defeating the Nazis. Recent events have reawakened Siemens’ Nazi past. In 1998, Siemens was forced to set up a special fund to pay millions of dollars in compensation to people used as slave labourers during the Nazi era. In 2002, public opinion forced Siemens to abandon its plan to register the trademark “Zyklon” for a new line of products including gas ovens, the same name as the poison gas — Zyklon B — used to exterminate prisoners in Nazi death camps such as Majdanek and Auschwitz.

Siemens Implicated in Tracking Forced Labor & Slaves in Space
http://exopolitics.org/siemens-implicated-in-tracking-forced-labor-slaves-in-space/
An immoral past follows the Siemens multinational corporation, currently Europe’s largest engineering company, which assisted the Nazis by using slave labor to build advanced weapons during World War II. The collapse of Hitler’s Third Reich put an end to a dark chapter in Siemens past – according to conventional historians. Not so, according to the claims of two whistleblowers whose testimonies lead to a disturbing conclusion. Siemens has been involved in secretly building billions of tiny RFID chips to track the movement of abducted humans used as forced labor in secret space colonies and in a galactic slave trade.
Siemens’ role in helping Nazi Germany build advanced weapons for the Second World War is well known, but less known is the extent to which it participated in the use of slave labor. On September 24, 1998, Siemens decided to begin compensating victims of its former slave labor practices as the following Associated Press Report describes:
Siemens
announced plans Wednesday for a $12-million fund to compensate former
slave laborers forced to work for the firm by the Nazis during World War
II…. Almost a year ago, at its 150th anniversary celebrations, the
company had insisted that it could do no more for its former slave
laborers than express “deepest regrets.” The Munich-based Siemens said
its fund is in addition to the $4.3 million it paid to the Jewish Claims
Conference in 1961 and to providing humanitarian help for victims.
Siemens estimates that between 10,000 and 20,000 slave laborers worked
in its wartime factories.
Siemens’
role in acknowledging its wartime use of slave labor and efforts to
compensate victims is praiseworthy. However, the acknowledgement came
forty years after the events in question, and leads to troubling
questions over whether the company was sincere or simply wishing to avoid class action lawsuits then underway in the United States:
The
threat of lawsuits has raised the pressure on German firms to pay
direct claims to the thousands of concentration camp inmates, mostly
Jews, forced to work in their factories. Lawyers representing former
slave laborers criticized Siemens, as they did Volkswagen, for setting
up a fund to avoid larger payments a lawsuit might demand. Siemens is
seeking “the cheapest alternative,” said Munich attorney Michael Witti,
who with a colleague filed the U.S. lawsuit.
Readers
might be forgiven for believing that the compensation of former slave
laborers is an issue associated with a terrible chapter in our recent
history. However, there is whistleblower testimony that such practices
continue and Siemens is still involved.William Pawelec was a computer operations and programming expert with the USAF, who started his own electronics security company, and worked for high profile U.S. defense contractors such as SAIC and EG&G. He received high level security clearances and had access to many classified projects.
Prior to 2001, Pawelec decided to reveal what he knew about deep black projects that he believed were hiding advanced technologies from the U.S. public. He gave an interview to Dr. Steven Greer with the strict instruction that it would only be published after his death. He died on May 22, 2007 and the video was published posthumously on December 14, 2010.
Among his many revelations is information concerning the development of the first electronic RFID tracking chips that were developed as early as 1979 according to Pawelec. He explained the history of their development, and the role his Denver-based company played in setting up meetings with government agencies, which were interested in using the chips for security purposes.
In his video interview with Greer, Pawelec said:
At
the time in the security industry, a lot of us had a lot of concerns
about tracking and locating people that had been kidnapped. Particularly
what was going on in Europe at the time where we were having NATO
officers, even the Prime Minister of Italy, kidnapped … These people
were drained [of information] or they were brutalized or both… One of
the goals of the industry was to develop technology that would allow us
to track these people or locate them quickly.
He said that the tracking chips, which were very small and shaped like a pill, had multiple functions:
Now
this particular pill shaped device, very minute, had a lot of
flexibility in its capabilities. It was basically almost a transponder.
You could send a frequency to it and it would respond back with its
unique number which could not be changed once the chip was made. Yet
there were a lot of capabilities that could be added to this chip such
as monitoring temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and even wave forms
out of the brain.....
