Swastika aerial shot from Coronado Naval Base

[lonestarnot]

US Naval Base Coronado, outside San Diego, CA, forms the image of a Nazi Swastika. A simple search at Google Earth reveals a large complex of four buildings that are indeed arranged to re-create the Swastika, the symbol of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

1. Hmmmm

kinda stretching it, I'd say.

[niyad]

2. it is an interesting sight on a NAVAL base, isn't it?

[itzamirakul]

15. I think the architects of this base did realize they were

building a swastika. For this to be an error means that no one looked at the plans or blueprints or whatever they are called before this was even built. It was done on purpose.

We have to realize that a lot of people streamed out of Nazi-held territories after WWII and spread their filth far and wide. A lot of that filth is still in the minds of the supremacists who live in these areas, pining for new displays of hatred.

[OzarkDem]

Planes attacking Swastika

that's the entire picture that the architechts designed. There are 3 buildings in the pic - two are of US planes, pointed towards the third building shaped like a Swastika.

Someone posted the history on this before, the architects were told to come up with a building disign that maximized rooms with windows to keep ventilated (these are living quarters, built before air conditioning). They came up with these clever designs to meet those requirements in a very small area.

[lonestarnot]

Yeah, I can see. I can see what they came up with, and I don't like it ok

[OzarkDem]

42. Designed by the pilots

who had to fly against the Nazis and see a lot of their friends get killed. I figure they're entitled to do a littl Nazi bashing.

[lonestarnot]

50. Doesn't look like bashing to me.

[OzarkDem]

55. Bombing Nazis

was considered pretty negatively by the Nazis. They weren't happy with it.

[lonestarnot]

58. Sorry, but this is just fucking wrong.

[OzarkDem]

64. Why?

Because you say so?

[lonestarnot]

88. Because nazi's don't belong in the military.

[itzamirakul]

65. Here in NYC, if a swastika is painted on a building, it is considered

a hate symbol. People are arrested and put in jail for this kind of grafitti.

So why didn't those architects and pilots come to NYC and paint two planes attacking the Nazi swastika on a building here to show the Jewish people here that they were just celebrating how many Nazis they killed to save the Jews? Those architects and pilots would be put under the jail and the key thrown away.

There is no excuse for such a symbol of hatred on an American facility except that it satisfies the enormous racial hatred in the supremacists who have dreams of taking over America.

[OzarkDem]

69. Bullsh**

They were Navy architechts.

Here comes the anti-semitic dodge, right on cue.

And I would think Jewish people would be happy to see the military bashing Nazis. Maybe not.

[itzamirakul]

87. Did it ever occur to you that non-Jewish people might find the

swastika to be the very emblem of racial hatred? Everyone who speaks against it being used deliberately or not ANY PLACE IN AMERICA, does not have to be Jewish.

And everyone who defends the swastika does not HAVE to be a racist or supremacist...just an apologist for subliminal racism. If the shoe fits...

[benburch]

3. I'm sure they didn't consider...

...how it would look from the air.

[seemslikeadream]

7. sure

architectural plans for buildings seldom include over head views

:shrug:

[IChing]

8. Yeah right, architects never do those elevations on plans

:banghead: :rofl:

[seemslikeadream]

12. not only alike but at the exact same time?

:rofl:

[TAPat]

10. Some folks can't "think outside the box", others

can't think from the air. :)

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Now ya gonna show us the Face on Mars? (nt)

[lonestarnot]

11. Dave Chappelle, "What?@#!!$$$$$!@!!"

[EFerrari]

33. It's Bing Crosby, silly. Everyone know that. n/t

[lonestarnot]

86. I thought it was cheesehead friend.

[stevedeshazer]

5. Is this a bad spelling contest?

Sincerly, the Speling Kop

[lonestarnot]

9. woops. Thanks, do I win a prize? LOL

[stevedeshazer]

14. Your premise is a good one

You still made your point. :)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Seems appropriate.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

13. Anyone have the link to that shot of the

swastika on mars??

[lonestarnot]

16. Are you saying this is a bunch of crap?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. Hell no.... I'd just hate to admit that it was true, that's all, color me

"playful" today. I'll leave now.

[lonestarnot]

21. Better spirits than last night I hope!

B-) :hi: :shrug: :hug:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

23. My meds weren't working. Sorry bout that...

nice emoticons, back at ya! :)

[seemslikeadream]

17. will the Denver Airport runways do?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Dead Wrong And Ridiculous. This Topic Has Been Locked Dozens Of Times

already.

Posting crap like this as if it bears any credibility is ludicrous. I'm glad the mods lock it each time someone else posts it.

[lonestarnot]

22. It was on google. Search it yourself.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

48. This Has Been Locked Ten Times Already. Every Single Time This Crap Is

posted here.

[Marie26]

72. Why isn't this locked already?

They should just break down & create a "Tinfoil Forum" for this stuff.

[mzteris]

29. hmmmmmmmmm....

I decided to GOOGLE EARTH this myself as I figured it was some sort of photoshopping - and low and behold. There it be!

Let's see - it's about N32 40.34 and W117 09.27

Nefarious reasons? Probably not. But you must admit it does give one a bit of a pause.......

[lonestarnot]

35. Thank you!

[brentspeak]

20. Shouldn't you be more concerned about defeating the Republicans

instead of insinuating there's something evil about one of our nation's Naval bases?

[lonestarnot]

24. I fight them every day! Just found this odd, and wanted to share.

so kiss my :butt:

[mzteris]

47. besides

isn't it nice we can fight about something like this for a while - instead of who's killing who for what profit and how badly our country's f'd up right now?

[lonestarnot]

61. and how!

much worse it's going to be fucked up! Did you read the bankruptsy thread?

[mzteris]

74. no..... I musta missed those.....

too busy reading about war, Israel, the rapture, and that evidently some think adult women having sex with 13 yo boys is 'ok'. :sigh:

[titoresque]

26. Seriously it's a fucking Swastika

The OP isn't "insinuating" anything, the OP is showing you a damn photo of it!

When plans are drawn for any structure all angles are drawn of every part of the structure right down to the bolts that hold the toilet paper rolls in place in the bathroom stalls.

Yeah, sure.....this was an accident. :eyes:

[OzarkDem]

32. Look at the whole picture

the buildings next to it are in the shape of US planes - as in attacking the Swastika.

This has been debunked numerous times.

[mzteris]

38. PLANES?

ummmm......... not seeing planes.

[OzarkDem]

52. Look at the two buildings next to it

They're representations of WWII era US bombers (not jets). They're pilots and architechts, not artists.

[mzteris]

eh - if you say so......

they would have looked a bit more like planes (maybe) if they'd've left off the little squares on each end of the "wings". :shrug:

That story is about as implausible as the swastika built on purpose story, you know. lol

[titoresque]

54. architects often take direction

from whomever has hired them to do the work. The ones with the $ and the vision.

Also, ever seen the aeriel shot of Washington D.C.?

[OzarkDem]

56. And they took direction from the pilots

who wanted to depict an image of US bombers going after Nazis. Good for them.

[lonestarnot]

36. Thank you.

[Up2Late]

25. You know, before the Nazis and the white supremacists turned it into...

...symbol of Hate, the Swastika was a Good Luck token, like the 4-lief Clover.

When was it built?

[blonndee]

27. True, and it also used to be the insignia for the 45th infantry

"For the first 15 years of its existence, members of the 45th Infantry Division proudly wore on their left shoulders an ancient American Indian symbol of good luck, most commonly referred to as the swastika. The insignia served as recognition of the great number of Native Americans proudly serving in the 45th Infantry Division. The yellow swastika on a square background of red symbolized the Spanish Heritage of the 4 Southwestern states that made up the membership of the 45th—Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona. A similar symbol was adopted by the Nazi party in the late 1920’s, and as the N.S.D.A.P. rose to power in 1933 the symbol became so closely associated with fascist socialism that it had to be abandoned as the insignia of the 45th Infantry Division."

41. I still don't like it.

[MrBenchley]

31. Naval Base Coronado, built around 1917....

http://www.nbc.navy.mil/index.asp?fuseaction=NBCInstallations.NASNI

Much more interesting, IMHO, is that the first commandant's wife ran off with the King of England....

[jwirr]

28. When & by Who was this built?

[mzteris]

30. built in 1943.........

History
The Naval Amphibious Base (NAB), Coronado was established in 1943 after the land was literally created from the dredging of San Diego Bay done to allow large ships used in World War II to steam into Naval Station San Diego. It is the only Naval amphibious base on the West Coast.


edit add link

http://www.nbc.navy.mil/index.asp?fuseaction=NBCInstallations.NABC

[jwirr]

34. Thank you. Because of that I think it may still mean one of the old

meaning, esp. the one from the 45th.

[mzteris]

37. eh -

I'm not sure I agree. I think the swastika had been pretty much appropriated by Hitler by then, hadn't it?

edit to add this bit I just read:

". . . in 1933 the symbol became so closely associated with fascist socialism that it had to be abandoned as the insignia of the 45th Infantry Division." http://www.45thdivisionmuseum.com/History/SwastikaToThunderbird.html

[Up2Late]

46. And I think a lot of it is just people wanting to find one on a military

...base.

Check the RAW images of the Mars face, same deal.

<http://www.msss.com/education/facepage/face.html>

Once the lighting changes and you get a higher resolution, it's just L shaped buildings.

[mzteris]

49. Google Earth

is your friend, too....... N32 40.34 and W117 09.27

[Up2Late]

83. I don't like the new version of Google Earth, when I loaded the new...

...version, my Spy-ware detector went nuts, and I think my idol I/O throughput went up too.

But that was months ago, maybe it's better now.

[OzarkDem]

62. During WWII when US was fighting Nazis

Why do people insist on misrepresenting this? What is gained by it?

[maxsolomon]

39. good swastika or bad swastika?

the nazi one spins the wrong way

[lonestarnot]

43. Bad period.

[MindPilot]

40. Local legend has it--and I can't find a link right now

but I'll keep looking. I saw an interview with the builder few years back and I can't recall the name right now. The two clusters of buildings were built at different times and the builder says the idea that anyone would see a swastika never occurred to anyone associated with the structure. It's laid out like a hotel--to maximize window area and provide a courtyard.

That's all. It's just coincidence. From a different angle, it looks like an airplane supposedly heading off to bomb germany. Stand down from the tinfoil...

[blonndee]

44. Here's the picture

I think you're looking for

http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:U2woYUTZyVP1hM:derekpgilbert.com/wp-

[lonestarnot]

45. Nope. I don't like it.

[mzteris]

51. N32 40.34 and W117 09.27

Google Earth

[Scout1071]

57. I couldn't agree more.

There is so much going on right now, the idea it was done on purpose is just plain far-fetched.

Back to the growing full-scale war in the Middle East.

[Up2Late]

60. Here's a better picture, if you look at the roofs, it does look like...

...the two bottom buildings built at a different time from the top two:



Not that that proves anything, but they look like 4 buildings to me. The top 2 might even have been built in two pieces also.

<http://www.despardes.com/>

BTW, Great Bush picture at the bottom of the page linked above!

[acmejack]

70. Tear them down! Raze the rest of the offending base as well!

They offend some of our friends here! They have posted repeatedly that they: "Don't like it", perhaps it would be better if our personnel slept in tents or perhaps they would prefer all future plans were run by them for an OK? My gosh, find something important to bitch about, it isn't like there is a shortage of meaningful problems in the world at the present time to devote your attention to.

[KittyWampus]

73. Thanks, it absolutely looks like 2 planes going after a swastika.

The 2 building on the left being the two planes.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

63. It's Been Debunked A Million Times Already, Yet People Keep Posting This

crap.

[OzarkDem]

66. Agree, its ridiculous

and freeper-like.

[lonestarnot]

68. doesn't look debunked. Google earth location posted above.

[OzarkDem]

76. So what?

No one is questioning the shape of the buildings.

THEY WERE DESIGNED TO LOOKS LIKE US BOMBERS ATTACKING A NAZI SYMBOL.

DESIGNED DURING WWII BY ARCHITECHTS WORKING FOR PILOTS WHO ACTUALLY WERE BOMBING THE NAZIS.

END OF STORY

[lonestarnot]

84. End of story for you, not for me! They are still there and they still

look like exactly what they are!

[DFLer4edu]

53. When was it built?

[OzarkDem]

59. Is it time to lock this thread?

I've repeatedly posted the facts behind the design of these barracks yet people keep trying to make it seem something it isn't.

We seem to have a few threads today that appear to lure Dems into bashing the military.

[lonestarnot]

67. I don't really care if the thread is locked, or the military is bashed.

The lunk heads are still volunteering for a bushitler war.

[OzarkDem]

71. The people who designed those buildings

are either passed on or in nursing homes.

Get a grip.

[lonestarnot]

75. Then tear the fucking thing down. My grip is fine thank you.

[OzarkDem]

77. To please you

and reinforce your ignorance of their history? I don't think so.

[lonestarnot]

80. No a goddamned nazi symbol is on an air force base. I served the U.S.

Air Force for 6 fucking years and I don't like the sight of it. Many would agree. Why are you defending a nazi symbol at an a.f. base for any reason, whether accident, surprise, or any other purpose?

[mzteris]

78. your facts differ from post 40's facts

" I saw an interview with the builder few years back and I can't recall the name right now. The two clusters of buildings were built at different times and the builder says the idea that anyone would see a swastika never occurred to anyone associated with the structure. It's laid out like a hotel--to maximize window area and provide a courtyard."

How do you account for that?

[OzarkDem]

79. Link?

[mzteris]

81. well

you could just click on POST #40 but if you insist:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1641004&mesg_id=1641438

[OzarkDem]

82. Sorry, bud

you can try to get everyone to start bashing the military with this thread, but you're only making a fool of yourself.

What else have you got to stir up trouble? Anything more credible than this?

[lonestarnot]

85. blah blah blah

[rasputin1952]

89. Locking

Pursuant to Godwin's Law:

Entering Nazi's, Hitler or Swastikas will produce not only
ridicule, but hystrionics as well...in this case, it also brings about a Lock.

That basis of Godwin is that you lose not just credibility but the argument as well...:D

To bring this all into context however, there are many manmade aspects of the swastika, the vast majority of them are accidental, just as the Pentagon does not signify Chrysler because of its shape.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
