So, I am back in the U.S.A and all that. However, my laptop is currently in the shop and without access to a voice dictation capable computer my blogging has to be limited.

To tied you over: here’s an interesting article about Harold von Braunhut, the man behind several of the classic gimic items sold in comic books in the sixties and seventies including the infamous and pesty Sea Monkeys! Turns out he was a jewish neo-Nazi.

The general Aryan Nations view holds that Jewish people are directly descended from the devil. It seems clear that von Braunhut, who owned Nazi memorabilia and once said Hitler “just got bad press,” signed on to these beliefs. But one has to wonder what brought him to the point of nodding along when his friend Butler, for instance, described Jews as “the bacillus of the decomposition of our society.” Aryan Nations members might have been dismayed to hear that von Braunhut engaged a law firm called Friedman and Goodman early in his career. They might also have been puzzled that his name was listed on early patents as Harold N. Braunhut. The middle initial stands for Nathan. Harold von Braunhut was born and raised Jewish.
