'Mein comp' which without any doubt refers to 'Mein Kampf' |

Native Instruments would like to clear up a misunderstanding that has arisen with regard to GUITAR RIG. A user has pointed out that there is a preset in GUITAR RIG's compressor entitled "Mein Comp". The user then made the suggestion that this was a deliberate play on the book entitled "Mein Kampf". This is not the case at all. The preset name is merely an abbreviation, albeit a German one. The German word "Mein" means "my" and "Comp" is short for "compressor". In view of the fact that Native Instruments is in fact a German company and the sound designer is also German, the origins and intentions of this preset name are understandable and have nothing whatsoever to do with "Mein Kampf", the Third Reich, NAZIs or indeed any other unsavoury connotations. However, in order to ensure that any further misinterpretations do not occur in the future, this preset will be substituted for one entitled "My Compressor". Native Instruments would like to apologize for any misunderstandings and any offence this might have caused. |

You wanna call it "Mein Comp", even as someone whose circumcision was not installed for cosmetic purposes... even with the potential misunderstanding for a 'Hitler' reference... that name is FAR less offensive to me than "my compressor". |

I feel that Bush getting reelected could be the worst thing to happen to our planet since Hitler. |

GW Bush's grandfather and great grandfather were the finaciers of Hitlers Nazi party and financed their rise to power, and were instrumental in the begining of world war 2. THAT I find offensive. These are the people now in control of the US and soon the rest of the world. They were finaly shut down in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy act. These are historical facts. Look it up. If you want make a wave, make it about something that matters. |

How about a little link to back that accusation up? I didn't realize the Bush family was so wealthy they could finance an entire country. Also, please share how W will control the entire world in the next few years. Seems to me he's got enough opposition here already. You must believe France, Germany, Russia and China are in on this plan too. While you're at it, care to comment on the Kennedy family's support of Hitler? Maybe Lindburgh as well? I guess Deutche Grammaphon and other classical labels need to clear their catalog of Richard Strauss...who was a supporter of the Third Reich all through the war. How about starting a movement against Volkswagon & Porsche? The Beetle was partly designed by Hitler along with Ferri Porsche. While you're at it, how about Mercedes Benz too? Der Furher rode in nothing else. If you're going to castigate...at least be consistent. |

Howdy Malice, Well I should have expected this kind of response. Within the 17 links you gave, most of them linked to each other, and several of the rest were actually reports of the same source story, the NH Gazette story in link #1. |

Now about those links of yours... The source story in the NH Gazette was written by a man named Buchanan who is discussed in link #7. The Guardian described him as a "muckraking reporter" suffering from manic depression. Continuing on the Guaridan wrote, "when he found himself rebuffed in his initial efforts to interest the media, he responded with a series of threats against the journalists and media outlets that had spurned him..... Most seriously, he faced aggravated stalking charges in Miami, in connection with a man with whom he had fallen out over the best way to publicise his findings." From what I can tell Buchanan is the primary torch bearer of this story carried though most of these sites. Hardly a real journalist. |

"While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade." "Loftus stressed that what Prescott Bush was involved in was just what many other American and British businessmen were doing at the time. "You can't blame Bush for what his grandfather did any more than you can blame Jack Kennedy for what his father did - bought Nazi stocks." (By the way, I noticed you didn't comment on that) Regarding the investigation into Bush's involvement with Thyssen: "Prescott Bush acted quickly and openly on behalf of the firm, served well by a reputation that had never been compromised. He made available all records and all documents. Viewed six decades later in the era of serial corporate scandals and shattered careers, he received what can be viewed as the ultimate clean bill." "The Anti-Defamation League in the US is supportive of Prescott Bush and the Bush family. In a statement last year they said that "rumours about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated ... Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathiser." This is despite the fact that the Jewish community still votes strongly Democratic. "Fritz Thyssen was an early financial supporter of Hitler, whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism. The documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort. His position with Union Banking never was a political issue for Bush, who was elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952." Suddenly your hardcore accusations don't carry as much weight. Bear in mind, these are quotes from the very sites you listed. |
