Edwin Black Speaks to BCC Students

September 15, 2009

The buzz on campus the week September 14, 2009 was all about an upcoming speaker. The communication students of BCC had their professors telling them that this was the opportunity of a lifetime. Edwin Black, an investigative journalist, was going to talk to all the students and faculty that wanted to hear him at 11 am in Applied Technology 200. He was willing to have a question and answer part and then was prepared to meet with those who wanted to have lunch with him in the cafeteria for a more intimate discussion.

Black, who is intriguing and dynamic, talked about the holocaust and how IBM of New York was involved with the Nazi’s. Three ear-catching topics came about: The Rockefeller Foundation and its role in eugenics: “The Rockefeller Foundation financed the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and the work of its central racial scientists. Once WWII began, Nazi eugenics turned from mass sterilization and euthanasia to genocidal murder. One of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute doctors in the program financed by the Rockefeller Foundation was Josef Mengele who continued his research in Auschwitz, making daily eugenic reports on twins. After the world recoiled from Nazi atrocities, the American eugenics movement — its institutions and leading scientists — renamed and regrouped under the banner of an enlightened science called human genetics.”

His words, which are also available in printed books, rang true. However, truth is all we would expect from this man. Esquire Magazine says, “Edwin Black is a dangerous man. He tells us things we don’t want to hear.”

Other said about Black, “[He] seeks the truth no matter if it embarrasses the people or the institution.”

When asked, how come the book was published in 2001 the school still bares Watson Research name? Black answered, “How many organizations bare the name Rockefeller? It is money. It is namesake, based upon international binary with the Nazis. Nazi Germany saved IBM.”

If you missed him at Broome Community College, he also was speaking at Binghamton University and Endicott Interconnect on September 15, 2009. He will however have 6-7 events from Binghamton to Elmira. For a copy of one of his eight books, you can head to Barnes and Nobel in Vestal, where you can find such titles as IBM and the Holocaust, The Transfer Agreement, War Against the Weak, Banking on Baghdad, Internal Combustion, The Plan, and Nazi Nexus.
