"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Interesting. 1945 was, indeed, a good year.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A lot of people committed suicide in Germany in 1945 due to their treatment by the Soviets, in particular women and children who were mass raped by Soviet soldiers. The same happened in Hungary. In many respects the Soviets were little better than the Nazis in their treatment of civilian populations.

I take the suggestion that most of the suicides did so because they couldn't live outside of the Nazi regime with a 'pinch of salt'. Most former Nazis did not kill themselves, and the high profile ones that did most likely committed suicide rather than give the victors satisfaction in killing, torturing, or imprisoning them, thus suicide was a rational and clean end for themselves. This type of historical revisionism is just as stupid and dishonest as the BS put about by people in denial about the Holocaust.

In my opinion, the premise behind the suggestion is likely utter BS, wishful thinking, and pandering to an agenda that is not concerned with reality. A "U571" moment (the Hollywood fictional film about the enigma code), if you will.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
