On April 9 [1940] he froze all Norwegian and Danish assets [in the United States] on the lying pretext of wanting to keep them from falling into German hands, even though he knew full well, for example, that Germany has not interfered with, much less taken control of, the Danish government's administration of its financial affairs. Along with the other governments in exile, Roosevelt now recognized one for Norway. On May 15, 1940, Dutch and Belgian governments in exile were also recognized, and at the same time Dutch and Belgian assets [in the USA ] were frozen.
This man revealed his true attitude in a telegram of June 15 [1940] to French premier [Paul] Reynaud. Roosevelt told him that the American government would double its aid to France, on the condition that France continue the war against Germany. In order to give special emphasis to his desire that the war continue, he declared that the American government would not recognize acquisitions brought about by conquest, which included, for example, the retaking of territories that had been stolen from Germany. I do not need to emphasize that now and in the future, the German government will not be concerned about whether or not the President of the United States recognizes a border in Europe. I mention this case because it is characteristic of the systematic incitement of this man, who hypocritically talks about peace while at the same time he incites to war.
And now he feared that if peace were to come about in Europe, the billions he had squandered on military spending would soon be recognized as an obvious case of fraud, because no one would attack America unless America itself provoked the attack. On June 17, 1940, the President of the United States froze French assets [in the USA] in order, so he said, to keep them from being seized by Germany, but in reality to get hold of the gold that was being brought from Casablanca on an American cruiser.
In July 1940 Roosevelt began to take many new measures toward war, such as permitting the service of American citizens in the British air force and the training of British air force personnel in the United States. In August 1940 a joint military policy for the United States and Canada was established. In order to make the establishment of a joint American-Canadian defense committee plausible to at least the stupidest people, Roosevelt periodically invented crises and acted as if America was threatened by immediate attack. He would suddenly cancel trips and quickly return to Washington and do similar things in order to emphasize the seriousness of the situation to his followers, who really deserve pity.
He moved still closer to war in September 1940 when he transferred fifty American naval destroyers to the British fleet, and in return took control of military bases on British possessions in North and Central America. Future generations will determine the extent to which, along with all this hatred against socialist Germany, the desire to easily and safely take control of the British empire in its hour of disintegration may have also played a role.
After Britain was no longer able to pay cash for American deliveries he imposed the Lend-Lease Act on the American people [in March 1941]. As President, he thereby obtained the authority to furnish lend-lease military aid to countries that he, Roosevelt, decided it was in America's vital interests to defend. After it became clear that Germany would not respond under any circumstances to his continued boorish behavior, this man took another step forward in March 1941.

sure thing. I posted it on my Facebook. I'm pretty sure it's part of his "declaration of war on the US" speech, or something of the like.

Well let's face it - it is Hitler painting himself in "that light" - what did yo expect him to say - "Ich bin ein ruthless f-wit megalomaniac with delusions of adequacy"??
And he is justifying a fairly stupid (as it turned out) declaration of war on the USA - so what nice things did you expect him to say about the US administration of the time??

I strongly disagree and i don't think he could ever be a hero to anyone.
In my book the late colonel Khaddafi was a hero of some sort. He stood by his beliefs, he tried to bring down the evil system but in the end he didn't sacrifice the people because of it. He could have, he had the money and the resources - but he didn't, even though he must have known he was losing the battle.
Back to Hitler, he could have ordered all those people to go away for example. He had the power at the time to do so but he chose to put them behind the fence, he didn't feed them, he treated them like livestock, he killed them because of an ideology, he broke every possible 'moral law' in the world not to mention the code of war conduct etc. Not a hero, no way. I'd call him a pathetic leader who went for the weak and defenseless.edit on 12-4-2012 by Exitt because: .

1. Yes... that was him in the end! But you have to look past that and see who he was in the beginning and what he was facing.
2. And again... who wouldn't reach that point some way along the trials of being deceived while trying to free a people from the clutches of money hungry zionists?
3. Maybe you should start questioning who it is that validates what is being put in those history books???
4. You'll find that the jewish masters behind Zionism are not all that innocent as they like to see themselves.
5. Oh... Ahmedjenidad as the Hitler of our time?! Come on... that's bull# and you bloody well know it. He's a silly man yes, but he doesn't posses the insanity to ever commit a first strike on anyone. Lots of others in the west do though.
