Hi everyone--
I have been teaching 1984 in my senior English class, and I have been amassing a great amount of material linking big brother with George Bush. Has anyone else seen evidence of this? Post what you've got.

Big Blue painted red and black...
It has been over 50 years since Adolf Hitler took his life in a small underground bunker near Berlin. And while, for many, the Holocaust that he planned and executed against the Jewish population of Europe is a thing of the past – a dark chapter of our history that serves a reminder of man’s inhuman potential – for others, it is a subject of unrelinquished sorrow and tireless investigation.
It is in the latter camp that we find Edwin Black, author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated international bestseller IBM and the Holocaust. The book, which documents IBM’s direct links to Hilter and his so-called ‘Final Solution’ by providing the Third Reich with census machines and punch card technology, caused IBM to issue a formal statement claiming that the Nazis controlled the operations of IBM Germany during the war. But Edwin’s research shows that Thomas J. Watson, founder and president of IBM during the company’s financial relationship with the Nazis, exercised more hands-on control of the operation than they care to admit.
