"Expelled Nazis paid millions in Social Security" by David Rising | Associated Press October 20, 2014
OSIJEK, Croatia — Dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards collected millions of dollars in Social Security benefits after being forced out of the United States, an Associated Press investigation has found.
Yeah, that's why Social Security is broke. I'm so glad AP is picking up the critical i$$ues of our times.
The payments, underwritten by American taxpayers, flowed through a legal loophole that gave the Justice Department leverage to persuade Nazi suspects to leave the country. If they agreed to go, or simply fled before deportation, they could keep their Social Security, according to interviews and internal US government records.
Among those receiving benefits were armed SS troops who guarded the network of Nazi camps where millions of Jews perished; a rocket scientist who used slave laborers to advance his research in the Third Reich; and a Nazi collaborator who engineered the arrest and execution of thousands of Jews in Poland.
Really, I don't want to hear it anymore. That was 70 years ago. We have Nazis running around now, and they wear suits and carry briefcases.
There are at least four living beneficiaries. They include Martin Hartmann, a former SS guard at the Sachsenhausen camp in Germany, and Jakob Denzinger, who patrolled the grounds at the Auschwitz camp complex in Poland.
Hartmann moved to Berlin in 2007 from Arizona just before being stripped of his US citizenship. Denzinger fled to Germany from Ohio in 1989 after learning denaturalization proceedings against him were underway. He soon resettled in Croatia and now lives in a spacious apartment on the right bank of the Drava River in Osijek. Denzinger would not discuss his situation when questioned by a reporter; Denzinger’s son, who lives in the United States, confirmed his father receives Social Security payments and said he deserved them.
The deals allowed the Justice Department’s former Nazi-hunting unit, the Office of Special Investigations, to skirt lengthy deportation hearings and increased the number of Nazis it expelled from the United States.
But internal US government records reveal heated objections from the State Department to the practices by the Office of Special Investigations. Social Security benefits became tools, US diplomatic officials said, to secure agreements in which Nazi suspects would accept the loss of citizenship and voluntarily leave the United States.
‘‘It’s absolutely outrageous that Nazi war criminals are continuing to receive Social Security benefits when they have been outlawed from our country for many, many, many years,’’ said Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York, a senior Democratic member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
She said she plans to introduce legislation to close the loophole.
While those tools constantly look for ways to send more tax money to Israel.
Since 1979, the AP analysis found, at least 38 of 66 suspects removed from the country kept their Social Security benefits.
The Social Security Administration expressed outrage in 1997 over the use of benefits, the documents show, and blowback in foreign capitals reverberated at the highest levels of government.
Austrian authorities were furious upon learning after the fact about a deal made with Martin Bartesch, a former SS guard at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. In 1987, Bartesch landed, unannounced, at the airport in Vienna. Two days later, under the terms of the deal, his US citizenship was revoked.
The Romanian-born Bartesch, who had immigrated to the United States in 1955, was suddenly stateless and Austria’s problem. Bartesch continued to receive Social Security benefits until he died in 1989.
‘‘It was not upfront, it was not transparent, it was not a legitimate process,’’ said James Hergen, an assistant legal adviser at the State Department from 1982 until 2007. ‘‘This was not the way America should behave. We should not be dumping our refuse, for lack of a better word, on friendly states.’’
Neal Sher, a former director of the Office of Special Investigations, said the State Department cared more about diplomatic niceties than holding former members of Adolf Hitler’s war machine accountable.
Amid the objections, the practice known as ‘‘Nazi dumping’’ stopped. But the benefits loophole wasn’t closed.
Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said in an e-mailed statement that Social Security payments never were employed to persuade Nazi suspects to depart voluntarily.
The Social Security Administration refused a request for the total number of Nazi suspects who received benefits and the dollar amounts of those payments.

That's a very interesting take in light of this:
"Three
weeks ago the New York Times stunned its readers with a frontpage story proclaiming, “Europe’s Anti-Semitism Comes out of the Shadows.”
OK,
now fasten your neckbolts tight. Because today the New York Times has a story, on an inside page, about Jews leaving Israel for… Germany: “In
Exodus From Israel to Germany, a Young Nation’s Fissures Show.”
We have a simple question for the Times. Which story is correct? These stories can’t be reconciled. You can’t have an old demon coming out of the shadows and Jews wanting to move to the country.
Well, you can reconcile it in the world of agenda-pushing propaganda that can't keep all its lies straight.
