Man who invented sea monkeys

The general Aryan Nations view holds that Jewish people are directly descended from the devil. They might also have been puzzled that his name was listed on early patents as Harold N. The middle initial stands for Nathan. Harold von Braunhut was born and raised Jewish. The article also reported that he was born in Manhattan and that he gave an address in heavily Jewish Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, when he briefly attended Columbia University.

Which is hard to square with the fact that von Braunhut was helping a Klansman buy 83 guns in at the latest. Perhaps the Aryan Nations allowed von Braunhut to stay in the fold because Butler liked having a wealthy backer, as Floyd Cochran, a former spokesman of the group who later renounced it, has said. Von Braunhut made a lot of money from all those whimsical inventions that kept America laughing. It also seems plausible that the Aryan Nations is the kind of organization that believes the Washington Post needs to stop telling lies and get the hell off my lawn.

Members of the Aryan Nations wanted to believe what they wanted to believe. For these hateful people, von Braunhut said all the right things, made the right contributions and got the same hard time from the media that they did. As for the, uh, rumors about his past, the Aryan Nations founder himself seemed to be looking the other way. Harold von Braunhut had won Butler over. Von Braunhut had the knack for making facts go away.

Look at the hands, lose sight of the feet. The man made a lot of us believe that we could see through clothes, that smiling underwater pets would arrive in the mailbox. He made us believe in invisible goldfish. Photo of actual sea monkey by you get the picture , used with permission.

And Now It's Dead. All In The Family. Home Contact NEW! What Can Sea-Monkeys Do? From Shrimp to Sea Monkeys Enticed by those ads in the back of comic books, generations of children from around the world have grown up nurturing, naming, and staring wide-eyed in fascination at the little creatures whose resemblance to monkeys does require a little imagination. But now they do. But Atamian never asked if the allegations were true. It seems no one at Educational Insights has ever confronted Von Braunhut about his past--not even to inquire about the possibility of Sea Monkey profits going to white-supremacist hate groups.

Harold von Braunhut is almost deaf, but loquacious, and his voice is high-pitched. The buyer at Sears, Roebuck almost got fired because of it. So I went to comic books. I did million pages of advertising per year. When I ask Harold about his past, he becomes furious. He tells me the news reports are lies. A few days later, Atamian calls to say he has good news. I ask Atamian if he believes Von Braunhut. The fax never comes. Later that day, Fine calls. As a Jew, Fine had said, he would have to walk away from Sea Monkeys if it turned out monies were being diverted to anti-Semitic causes.

Fine pauses a moment. And if Sea Monkey dollars have been going to hate groups? In it, the Sea Monkeys are dressed like rock stars and sing songs that Von Braunhut clearly did not write. We eat. We grow. We race.
