[kj] Killing Joke and the U.S.

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

"One lawsuit" that is a class action lawsuit involves thousands of 
people suing one entity. So, yes, it "one lawsuit," but it is a cass of 
people -- like slave laborers in Nazi work amps put to work for 
companiss like rubber makers IG Farben or Bayer -- consolidated into one 
or two, etc. lawsuits. There is not one lawsuit per person. Krupps, 
Siemens, Bayer (aspirin maker) Vokswagen, Ford Werke, IG Farben, and 
even IBM gave material aid to Nazis or profited off the labor from nazi 
work camps, who rented inmates to these corporations to perform their work.
