|
<p> PREFACE </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Before the Gatewood <ent type='PERSON'>Galbraith</ent> for Governor Campaign in 1991, few
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Kentuckians</ent> knew that the plant that the <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent> had
|
||
|
demonized for over 50 years as "<ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent> - Assassin of Youth," was,
|
||
|
in fact, Cannabis Hemp, the most traded commodity in the world until
|
||
|
the mid-1800s, and our state's number one crop, industry, and most
|
||
|
important source of revenue, for over 150 years. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Today, thanks to the efforts of pioneer hemp researchers and public
|
||
|
advocates such as <ent type='PERSON'>Galbraith</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Fraizer</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Herer</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Chris Conrad</ent>,
|
||
|
Ed Rosenthal, <ent type='PERSON'>Don Wirtshafter</ent> and others, the <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent>'s
|
||
|
unjustifiable suppression of our state's right to develop our most
|
||
|
valuable and versatile natural resource, is facing increasing
|
||
|
opposition from an informed public. Hemp is now recognized as the
|
||
|
number one agriculturally renewable raw material in the world, and
|
||
|
perhaps the only crop / industry which can guarantee us industrial
|
||
|
and economic independence from the trans-national corporations. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Shadow of the <ent type='ORG'>Swastika</ent>" is a follow-up to my earlier work,
|
||
|
"Cannabis Hemp: the Invisible Prohibition Revealed," which I wrote
|
||
|
and published in support of the <ent type='PERSON'>Galbraith</ent> Campaign. Since
|
||
|
publication of that booklet, there has been growing public
|
||
|
acceptance of the evidence that <ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent> Prohibition was created in
|
||
|
1937, not to protect society from the "evils of the drug <ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent>,"
|
||
|
as the Federal government claimed, but as an act of deliberate
|
||
|
economic and industrial sabotage against the re-emerging Industrial
|
||
|
Hemp Industry. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Previous investigations by hemp researchers have been limited to
|
||
|
the suppression of free-market competition from the hemp industry,
|
||
|
and focused on the activities of three prominent members of
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s corporate, industrial and banking establishment during the
|
||
|
mid-to late-1930s: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> WILLIAM RANDOLPH <ent type='ORG'>HEARST</ent>, the newspaper and magazine tycoon.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The expected rebirth of cannabis hemp as a less expensive source of
|
||
|
pulp for paper meant his millions of acres of prime timberland, and
|
||
|
investment in wood pulp papermaking equipment, would soon be worth
|
||
|
much less. In the 1920s, about the same time as the equipment was
|
||
|
developed to economically mass-produce raw hemp into pulp and fiber
|
||
|
for paper, he began the "Reefer Madness" hoax in his newspaper and
|
||
|
magazine publications.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ANDREW <ent type='ORG'>MELLON</ent>, founder of <ent type='ORG'>the Gulf Oil Corporation</ent>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> He knew that cannabis hemp was an alternative industrial raw
|
||
|
material for the production of thousands of products, including fuel
|
||
|
and plastics, which, if allowed to compete in the free-market, would
|
||
|
threaten the future profits of the oil companies. As Secretary of
|
||
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> he created <ent type='ORG'>the Federal Bureau</ent> of Narcotics, and
|
||
|
appointed his own future nephew-in-law, <ent type='PERSON'>Harry Anslinger</ent>, as
|
||
|
director. Anslinger would later use the sensational, and totally
|
||
|
fabricated, articles published by <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>, to push the <ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent> Tax
|
||
|
Act of 1937 through <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>, which successfully destroyed the
|
||
|
rebirth of the cannabis hemp industry. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> A prominent member of one <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional subcommittee who voted in
|
||
|
favor of this bill was <ent type='PERSON'>Joseph Guffey</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Pennsylvania</ent>, an oil tycoon
|
||
|
and former business partner of <ent type='PERSON'>Andrew Mellon</ent> in the <ent type='ORG'>Spindletop</ent> oil
|
||
|
fields in <ent type='GPE'>Texas</ent>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> THE DU PONT CHEMICAL CORPORATION,</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> which owned the patents on synthetic petrochemicals and industrial
|
||
|
processes that promised billions of dollars in future profits from
|
||
|
the sale of wood pulp paper, lead additives for gasoline, synthetic
|
||
|
fibers and plastics, if hemp could be suppressed. At the time, du
|
||
|
Pont family influence in both government and the private sector was
|
||
|
unmatched, according to historians and journalists.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> This publication, however, reveals documented historical evidence
|
||
|
that the suppression of the hemp industry was only one key part of a
|
||
|
much larger conspiracy in the 1930s, not only by the three corporate
|
||
|
interests named above, but by many others, as well. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional records, <ent type='ORG'>FBI</ent> reports and investigations by the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Justice Department</ent>, during the 1930s and 1940s, have already
|
||
|
documented evidence of this wider plot. A list of the corporations
|
||
|
named include Du Pont, <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>, and <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent>, all of
|
||
|
which were proven to be conspiring with <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> industrial cartels to
|
||
|
eliminate competition world-wide and divide among themselves the
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Earth</ent>'s industrial resources and commercial markets, for profitable
|
||
|
exploitation. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> This conspiracy succeeded. It is now obvious that this lack of
|
||
|
serious competition in the industrial raw materials market caused
|
||
|
our present - and totally contrived - addiction to petrochemicals.
|
||
|
Its success is directly responsible for the most troubling problems
|
||
|
we now face in the 1990s; serious damage to our environment,
|
||
|
concentration of economic and political power into fewer and fewer
|
||
|
hands, and the weakening of the rights of individuals and states to
|
||
|
determine their own futures. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It is more and more evident that, given the historical record, the
|
||
|
structure of <ent type='EVENT'>the New World</ent> Order is being built upon <ent type='ORG'>the Foundation</ent>
|
||
|
of <ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent> Prohibition, and only the relegalization of free-market
|
||
|
hemp competition can save us.</p>

<p> INTRODUCTION </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> To clearly understand the circumstances which existed during the
|
||
|
1930s and 1940s, and are the subject of this booklet, it would be
|
||
|
helpful to first put the hemp / petrochemical conflict into
|
||
|
historical perspective. The events which took place in the years
|
||
|
leading up to <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II were a continuation of a struggle between
|
||
|
agricultural and industrial interests that began before the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
<ent type='EVENT'>Revolution</ent>, a struggle which has yet to be decided, even today. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> AGRICULTURE VS. INDUSTRY </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The historical record, at least as it has been presented to us in
|
||
|
the public school system, is that <ent type='EVENT'>the Civil War</ent> was fought to end
|
||
|
slavery. This is not the whole story. The truth of the matter is
|
||
|
that it was also a clash between <ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists and
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Southern</ent> agriculturists, over control of the expansion into the
|
||
|
newly opened <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In 1845, <ent type='PERSON'>Abraham Lincoln</ent> wrote, "I hold it a paramount duty of us
|
||
|
in the free states due to the union of the states, and perhaps to
|
||
|
liberty itself, to let the slavery of other states alone." (1) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Concerning the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern territories, he said "The whole <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent> is
|
||
|
interested that the best use shall be made of these territories. We
|
||
|
want them for homes and free white people. This they cannot be, to
|
||
|
any considerable extent, if slavery be planted within them." (2) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>Lincoln</ent> was caught in the middle between the <ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent>
|
||
|
industrialists and the <ent type='NORP'>Southern</ent> agriculturists, who both wanted to
|
||
|
dominate <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern expansion because of the wealth it offered. The
|
||
|
industrialists knew that the agriculturists depended on slavery
|
||
|
because cotton, upon which <ent type='NORP'>Southern</ent> wealth was based, was very labor
|
||
|
intensive and required the inexpensive labor that slavery provided.
|
||
|
They knew that if the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern lands were declared "free states" then
|
||
|
the <ent type='NORP'>Southern</ent> agriculturists would be unable to compete, and would be
|
||
|
forced to leave <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern expansion, and its potential profits, to the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Quoting "<ent type='ORG'>The Irony</ent> of Democracy," by <ent type='PERSON'>Thomas</ent> R. <ent type='PERSON'>Dye</ent> and T. Harmon
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Zeigler</ent>,</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The importance of <ent type='EVENT'>the Civil War</ent> for <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s elite structure was
|
||
|
the commanding position that the new industrial capitalists won
|
||
|
during the course of the struggle. . . . The economic transformation
|
||
|
of <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> from an agricultural to an industrial nation
|
||
|
reached the crescendo of a revolution in the second half of the
|
||
|
nineteenth century. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='EVENT'>Civil War</ent> profits compounded the capital of the industrialists and
|
||
|
placed them in a position to dominate the economic life of the
|
||
|
nation. Moreover, when the <ent type='NORP'>Southern</ent> planters were removed from the
|
||
|
national scene, the government in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> became the exclusive
|
||
|
domain of the new industrial leaders." (3)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The <ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists used this increased capital to build
|
||
|
the system of transcontinental railways, linking the <ent type='LOC'>Northeast</ent> with
|
||
|
both the <ent type='LOC'>South</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>. The labor for this undertaking was from the
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Northeast</ent>ern Establishment's own source of cheap labor - recently
|
||
|
freed slaves and poor immigrants from <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>China</ent> - who
|
||
|
suffered under living conditions which were often little better than
|
||
|
those which existed under the Slave System just a few years before. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It was during the years between <ent type='EVENT'>the Civil War</ent> and the beginning of
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>the Twentieth Century</ent> that the <ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists altered the
|
||
|
role of the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n government. Originally established by the
|
||
|
<ent type='EVENT'>Revolution</ent> to protect and preserve the lives, property and freedoms
|
||
|
of all <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> from repressive government, it was transformed into
|
||
|
an agency to protect the economic future of <ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "[T]he industrial elites," according to <ent type='PERSON'>Dye</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Zeigler</ent>, "saw no
|
||
|
objection to legislation if it furthered their success in business.
|
||
|
Unrestricted competition might prove who was the fittest, but as an
|
||
|
added precaution to insure that the industrial capitalists
|
||
|
themselves emerged as the fittest, these new elites also insisted
|
||
|
upon government subsidies, patents, tariffs, loans, and massive
|
||
|
giveaways of land and other natural resources." (4) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The struggle between <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern farmers and the railroads owned by the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrialists is a good example. To protect their
|
||
|
interests, citizens created "the <ent type='ORG'>Grange</ent>," an organization which
|
||
|
helped to enact state laws regulating the "ruthless aggression" of
|
||
|
the railroads. In 1877, these laws were upheld by <ent type='ORG'>the Supreme Court</ent>
|
||
|
in the <ent type='PERSON'>Munn</ent> v. <ent type='GPE'>Illinois</ent> decision. But, a few years later, Justice
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Stephen</ent> A. <ent type='ORG'>Field</ent> changed the role, and the very definition, of the
|
||
|
corporation. He gave a new interpretation to the Fourteenth
|
||
|
Amendment that actually gave corporations legal status as citizens .
|
||
|
. . as artificial persons. (5) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It was not long after this change in the interpretation of the
|
||
|
Fourteenth Amendment that <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> D. <ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent>, the father of the
|
||
|
modern-day corporation, created the great <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil Corporation</ent>
|
||
|
which, by the late 1880s, gained control over 90% of all the oil
|
||
|
refineries in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. (6) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The roots of 20th Century <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n politics can best be illustrated
|
||
|
by the 1896 Presidential Election, won by <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent>
|
||
|
McKinley by a landslide. The McKinley campaign was directed by
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Marcus Alonzo Hanna</ent> of <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> and raised a $16000000
|
||
|
campaign fund from wealthy fellow industrialists, (an amount that
|
||
|
was unmatched in Presidential campaigns until the 1960s). The major
|
||
|
theme of the campaign, and one that would echo far into the future,
|
||
|
was "what's good for business is good for the country." (7) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> This emerging political and judicial misuse of power in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> was
|
||
|
feared by <ent type='PERSON'>Thomas</ent> Jefferson who, in 1787, wrote, "I think our
|
||
|
governments will remain virtuous for many centuries; as long as they
|
||
|
remain chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall
|
||
|
be vacant lands in any part of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>. When they get piled upon one
|
||
|
another in large cities as in <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent> they will become corrupt as in
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>." (8) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It is important to remember that the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n <ent type='EVENT'>Revolution</ent> was a
|
||
|
clash between the agriculturists in the colonies, and the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>
|
||
|
industrialists who controlled the government in <ent type='GPE'>England</ent>. Almost 100
|
||
|
years later <ent type='EVENT'>the Civil War</ent> was fought as a continuation of the same
|
||
|
basic struggle, but with the victory going back to the
|
||
|
industrialists. This began the erosion of the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n government
|
||
|
"of the people, for the people and by the people." The buying of the
|
||
|
1896 Presidential Election, by Hanna of <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> and the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Northern</ent> industrial interests, was the next important step on the
|
||
|
long road to the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n government "of the corporation, for the
|
||
|
corporation and by the corporation." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> A few years later, <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> I would forge an even closer
|
||
|
relationship between corporations and government in the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s, as well as around the world. <ent type='PERSON'>Anthony Sampson</ent>, in his book
|
||
|
"<ent type='ORG'>The Arms Bazaar</ent>," notes that "the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n companies, led by US
|
||
|
Steel and du Pont, were transformed by war orders. US Steel, which
|
||
|
had absorbed <ent type='ORG'>Carnegie</ent>'s old steel company, had made average annual
|
||
|
profits in the four pre-war years of $105 million, while in the four
|
||
|
war years they were $240 million; and du Pont's average profit went
|
||
|
up from $6 million to $58 million. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Certainly the arms companies had become much richer through the
|
||
|
war, and there were widespread suspicions that they were actually
|
||
|
trying to prolong it." (9) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The bottom line is, of course, victory or profit, and in what
|
||
|
proportions? To what lengths would this nation's top industrial
|
||
|
leaders go to secure their share of the profits before and during
|
||
|
the next "war to end all war?" </p>

<p> WILLIAM RANDOLPH <ent type='ORG'>HEARST</ent> </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>, who was so concerned about the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n public's health and
|
||
|
safety on the matter of marijuana use, apparently had no such fears
|
||
|
when it came to <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> and the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>. According to journalist <ent type='PERSON'>George</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent>:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> had the support of the most widely circulated
|
||
|
magazine in history, '<ent type='ORG'>Readers Digest</ent>,' as well as nineteen big-city
|
||
|
newspapers and one of the three great <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n news agencies, the
|
||
|
$220-million <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> press empire. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> Randolph <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>, Sr., . . . was the lord of all the
|
||
|
press lords in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>. The millions who read the <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>
|
||
|
newspapers and magazines and saw <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> newsreels in the nation's
|
||
|
moviehouses had their minds poisoned by <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> propaganda. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "It was . . . disclosed first to President <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> [by Ambassador
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Dodd</ent>] almost on the day it happened, in September 1934, and it is
|
||
|
detailed in the book 'Ambassador <ent type='PERSON'>Dodd</ent>'s Diary,' published in 1941,
|
||
|
and again in libel-proof documents on file in the courts of the
|
||
|
state of <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> E. <ent type='PERSON'>Dodd</ent>, professor of history [at the
|
||
|
University of <ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent>], told me about the <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> sell-out . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "According to Ambassador <ent type='PERSON'>Dodd</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> came to take the waters at
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Bad Nauheim</ent> in September 1934, and <ent type='PERSON'>Dodd</ent> somehow learned immediately
|
||
|
that <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> had sent two of his most trusted <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> propagandists,
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Hanfstangel</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Rosenberg</ent>, to ask <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> how <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>m could present a
|
||
|
better image in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>. When <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> went to <ent type='GPE'>Berlin</ent> later
|
||
|
in the month, he was taken to see <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent> reports that a $400000 a year deal was struck between
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>, and signed by Doctor <ent type='PERSON'>Joseph Goebbels</ent>, the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
propaganda minister. "<ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>," continues <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent>, "completely changed
|
||
|
the editorial policy of his nineteen daily newspapers the same month
|
||
|
he got the money." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In the court documents filed on behalf of <ent type='PERSON'>Dan Gillmor</ent>, publisher of
|
||
|
a magazine named "Friday," in response to a lawsuit by <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>, under
|
||
|
item 61, he states: "Promptly after this said visit with Adolf
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> and the making of said arrangements. . . said plaintiff,
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> Randolph <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>, instructed all <ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent> press correspondents
|
||
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, including those of <ent type='ORG'>INS</ent> [<ent type='ORG'>Hearst</ent>'s International News

Service] to report happenings in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> only in a friendly' manner.
|

All of such correspondents reporting happenings in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>
|
||
|
accurately and without friendliness, sympathy and bias for the
|
||
|
actions of the then <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> government, were transferred elsewhere,
|
||
|
discharged, or forced to resign. . . ." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In the late 1930s, <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent> recounts, when "several sedition
|
||
|
indictments [were brought by] the <ent type='ORG'>Department of Justice</ent> . . .
|
||
|
against a score or two of <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent>, the defendants included an

<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s, his assistant, <ent type='PERSON'>Norman Littell</ent>, and several <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional
|

investigations, have produced incontrovertible evidence that some of

|
our biggest monopolies entered into secret agreements with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
cartels and divided the world up among them," states <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent> in his
|
||
|
book, "Facts and Fascism," published in 1943. "Most notorious of all
|

|
was <ent type='ORG'>Alcoa</ent>, the Mellon-<ent type='PERSON'>Davis</ent>-Duke monopoly which is largely

responsible for the fact <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> did not have the aluminum with

<p> <ent type='ORG'>Alcoa</ent> sabotage of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n war production had already cost the U.S.

<p> DU PONT AND GENERAL MOTORS </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> is included here because, by 1929, the Du Pont
|
||
|
corporation had acquired controlling interest in, and had
|
||
|
interlocking directorships with, <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Irenee du Pont, "the most imposing and powerful member of the
|
||
|
clan," according to biographer and historian <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Charles</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent></ent>, "was
|
||
|
obsessed with <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s principles." "He keenly followed the career
|
||
|
of the future <ent type='PERSON'>Fuhrer</ent> in the 1920s, and on September 7, 1926, in a
|
||
|
speech to the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n Chemical Society, he advocated a race of
|
||
|
supermen, to be achieved by injecting special drugs into them in
|
||
|
boyhood to make their characters to order." <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>'s book on this
|
||
|
subject, "Trading with the Enemy: An Expose of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>-<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
Money Plot 1933-1949," is highly recommended. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Du Pont's anti-Semitism "matched that of <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>" and, in 1933, the
|
||
|
Du Ponts "began financing native fascist groups in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> . . ."
|
||
|
one of which <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent> identifies as the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n Liberty League: "a
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> organization whipping up hatred of blacks and <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>," and the
|
||
|
"love of <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Financed . . . to the tune of $500000 the first year, the Liberty
|
||
|
League had a lavish thirty-one-room office in <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>, branches in
|
||
|
twenty-six colleges, and fifteen subsidiary organizations nationwide
|
||
|
that distributed fifty million copies of its <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> pamphlets. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The Du Ponts' fascistic behavior was seen in 1936, when Irenee du
|
||
|
Pont used <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> money to finance the notorious Black
|
||
|
Legion. This terrorist organization had as its purpose the
|
||
|
prevention of automobile workers from unionizing. The members wore
|
||
|
hoods and black robes, with skulls and crossbones. They fire-bombed
|
||
|
union meetings, murdered union organizers, often by beating them to
|
||
|
death, and dedicated their lives to destroying <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent> and <ent type='NORP'>communist</ent>s.
|
||
|
They linked to the Ku Klux Klan. . . . It was brought out that at
|
||
|
least fifty people, many of them blacks, had been butchered by the
|
||
|
Legion." (5)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Du Pont support of <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> extended into the very heart of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
war machine as well, according to <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, and several other
|
||
|
researchers: "<ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent>, under the control of the Du Pont
|
||
|
family of <ent type='GPE'>Delaware</ent>, played a part in collaboration" with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Between 1932 and 1939, bosses of <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> poured $30 million
|
||
|
into I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> plants . . ." Further, <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent> informs us that by
|
||
|
"the mid-1930s, <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> was committed to full-scale
|
||
|
production of trucks, armored cars, and tanks in <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>." (6) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Researchers <ent type='PERSON'>Morton Mintz</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry</ent> S. <ent type='PERSON'>Cohen</ent>, in their book, "Power
|
||
|
Inc.," describe the Du Pont-GM-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> relationship in these terms:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . In 1929, [Du Pont-controlled] GM acquired the largest
|
||
|
automobile company in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Adam Opel</ent>, A.G. This predestined the
|
||
|
subsidiary to become important to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war effort. In a heavily
|
||
|
documented study presented to <ent type='ORG'>the Senate Subcommittee</ent> on Antitrust
|
||
|
and Monopoly in February 1974, <ent type='GPE'>Bradford</ent> C. <ent type='ORG'>Snell</ent>, an assistant
|
||
|
subcommittee counsel, wrote: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "'GM's participation in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>'s preparation for war began in
|
||
|
1935. That year its <ent type='ORG'>Opel</ent> subsidiary cooperated with the <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent> in
|
||
|
locating a new heavy truck facility at Brandenburg, which military
|
||
|
officials advised would be less vulnerable to enemy air attacks.
|
||
|
During the succeeding years, GM supplied the <ent type='ORG'>Wehrmact</ent> with <ent type='ORG'>Opel</ent>
|
||
|
"<ent type='ORG'>Blitz</ent>" trucks from the Brandenburg complex. For these and other
|
||
|
contributions to [the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>] wartime preparations, GM's chief
|
||
|
executive for overseas operations [<ent type='PERSON'>James Mooney</ent>] was awarded the
|
||
|
Order of the <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Eagle</ent> (first class) by Adolf <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>.'"</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Du Pont-GM <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> collaboration, according to <ent type='ORG'>Snell</ent>, included the
|
||
|
participation of <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>New Jersey</ent> [now <ent type='ORG'>Exxon</ent>] in one, very
|
||
|
important arrangement. GM and <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>New Jersey</ent> formed a
|
||
|
joint subsidiary with the giant <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> chemical cartel, I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>,
|
||
|
named <ent type='ORG'>Ethyl</ent> G.m.b.H. [now <ent type='ORG'>Ethyl</ent>, Inc.] which, according to <ent type='ORG'>Snell</ent>:
|
||
|
"provided the mechanized <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> armies with synthetic tetraethyl
|
||
|
fuel [leaded gas]. During 1936-39, at the urgent request of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
officials who realized that <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>'s scarce petroleum reserves
|
||
|
would not satisfy war demands, GM and <ent type='ORG'>Exxon</ent> joined with <ent type='NORP'>German</ent>
|
||
|
chemical interests in the erection of the lead-tetraethyl plants.
|
||
|
According to captured <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> records, these facilities contributed
|
||
|
substantially to the <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> war effort: 'The fact that since the
|
||
|
beginning of <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> we could produce lead-tetraethyl is entirely
|
||
|
due to the circumstances that, shortly before, the <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> [Du
|
||
|
Pont, GM and <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>] had presented us with the production
|
||
|
plants complete with experimental knowledge. Without lead-tetraethyl
|
||
|
the present method of warfare would be unthinkable.'" (7) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> At about the same time the Du Ponts were serving the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> cause in
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, they were involved in a <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> plot to overthrow the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>United States government</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Along with friends of <ent type='ORG'>the Morgan Bank</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent>," in
|
||
|
early 1934, writes <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, "certain Du Pont backers financed a coup
|
||
|
d'etat that would overthrow the President with the aid of a $3
|
||
|
million-funded army of terrorists . . ." The object was to force
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> "to take orders from businessmen as part of a fascist
|
||
|
government or face the alternative of imprisonment and execution . .
|
||
|
." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent> reports that "Du Pont men allegedly held an urgent series of
|
||
|
meetings with the <ent type='ORG'>Morgans</ent>," to choose who would lead this "bizarre
|
||
|
conspiracy." "They finally settled on one of the most popular
|
||
|
soldiers in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>, General Smedly <ent type='PERSON'>Butler</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Pennsylvania</ent>." <ent type='PERSON'>Butler</ent>
|
||
|
was approached by "fascist attorney" Gerald MacGuire (an official of
|
||
|
the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n Legion), who attempted to recruit <ent type='PERSON'>Butler</ent> into the role
|
||
|
of an <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='PERSON'>Butler</ent> was horrified," but played along with MacGuire until, a
|
||
|
short time later, he notified <ent type='ORG'>the <ent type='ORG'>White</ent> <ent type='ORG'>House</ent></ent> of the plot. <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent>
|
||
|
considered having "the leaders of the houses of <ent type='ORG'>Morgan and</ent> Du Pont"
|
||
|
arrested, but feared that "it would create an unthinkable national
|
||
|
crisis in the midst of a depression and perhaps another Wall Street
|
||
|
crash." <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> decided the best way to defuse the plot was to
|
||
|
expose it, and leaked the story to the press. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The newspapers ran the story of the attempted coup on the front
|
||
|
page, but generally ridiculed it as absurd and preposterous." But an
|
||
|
investigation by the <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional Committee on Un-<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
Activities - 74th <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>, first session, <ent type='ORG'>House</ent> of Representatives,
|
||
|
Investigation of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> and other propaganda - was begun later that
|
||
|
same year. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "It was four years," continues <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, "before the committee dared
|
||
|
to publish its report in a white paper that was marked for
|
||
|
'restricted circulation.' They were forced to admit that 'certain
|
||
|
persons made an attempt to establish a fascist organization in this
|
||
|
country . . . [The] committee was able to verify all the pertinent
|
||
|
statements made by General <ent type='PERSON'>Butler</ent>.' This admission that the entire
|
||
|
plan was deadly in intent was not accompanied by the imprisonment of
|
||
|
anybody. Further investigations disclosed that over a million people
|
||
|
had been guaranteed to join the scheme and that the arms and
|
||
|
munitions necessary would have been supplied by <ent type='ORG'>Remington</ent>, a Du Pont
|
||
|
subsidiary." (8)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The names of important individuals and groups involved in the
|
||
|
conspiracy were suppressed by the committee, but later revealed by
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Philadelphia Record</ent> reporter <ent type='PERSON'>Paul French</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Jules Archer</ent>,
|
||

author of the book, "The Plot to Seize <ent type='ORG'>the <ent type='ORG'>White</ent> <ent type='ORG'>House</ent></ent>." Included

were <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> W. <ent type='PERSON'>Davis</ent> (attorney for the J.P. Morgan banking group),

<p> THE US/<ent type='PERSON'>NAZI CARTEL</ent> AGREEMENT </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "On November 23, 1937," states <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, "representatives of General
|
||
|
Motors held a secret meeting in <ent type='GPE'>Boston</ent> with Baron Manfred von
|
||
|
Killinger, who was . . . in charge of <ent type='ORG'>West</ent> Coast espionage [for the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>], and Baron <ent type='PERSON'>von Tipplekirsch</ent>, <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> consul general and <ent type='ORG'>Gestapo</ent>
|

|
leader in <ent type='GPE'>Boston</ent>. This group signed a joint agreement showing total

commitment to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> cause for the indefinite future. . . ." (10) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent> describes the plotters as "the great owners and rulers of
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>America</ent> who planned world domination through political and military
|
||
|
Fascism" including "several leading <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n industrialists, members

of the <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>, and representatives of large
|

business and political organizations . . ." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> He obtained the text of the agreement, and published it in his
|
||
|
newsletter, "In Fact," on July 13, 1942. The plan "goes much further
|
||
|
than the mere cartel conspiracies of <ent type='ORG'>Big Business</ent> of both
|
||
|
countries," writes <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent>, "because it has political clauses and
|
||
|
points to a bigger conspiracy of money and politicians such as
|
||
|
helped betray <ent type='GPE'>Norway</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>France</ent> and other lands to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> machine.
|

|
The most powerful fortress in <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> is the production monopolies,

but its betrayal would involve, as it did in <ent type='GPE'>France</ent>, the

of <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> at 30 <ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent> Plaza. Just behind him were Secretary
|
||
|
of the <ent type='ORG'>Navy</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Franklin Knox</ent> and Secretary of the <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> Henry L.
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Stimson</ent>." They confronted <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> official <ent type='PERSON'>William</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Farish</ent> and
|
||
|
"<ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent> sharply laid down his charges" that "by continuing to favor
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> in rubber deal and patent arrangements," <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> "had
|
||
|
acted against the interests of the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n government . . .
|
||
|
suggested a fine of $1.5 million and a consent decree whereby
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> would turn over for the duration all the patents" in
|
||
|
question. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='ORG'>Farish</ent> rejected the proposal on the spot. He pointed out that
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>" was also selling the U.S. a "high percentage" of the fuel
|
||
|
being used by the <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Navy</ent>, and <ent type='ORG'>Air Force</ent> "making it possible for
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>America</ent> to win <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>. Where would <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> be without it?"</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Blackmail</ent>? Yes, says <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>. And effective. <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent> was finally
|
||
|
reduced to asking the oil company official "to what <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>
|
||
|
would agree. After all, there had to be at least token punishment. .
|
||
|
. . <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Stimson</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Knox</ent> soon realized they had no power to
|
||
|
compare with that of <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The price <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> "agreed" to pay for its crime? A modest fine
|
||
|
of a few thousand dollars divided up among ten defendants. "<ent type='ORG'>Farish</ent>
|
||
|
paid $1000, or a quarter of one week's salary, for having betrayed
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In <ent type='GPE'>New Jersey</ent>, charges of "criminal conspiracy with the enemy" were
|
||
|
filed against <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>, then "dropped in return for <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>
|
||
|
releasing its patents and paying the modest fine." But <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent>, and
|
||
|
his ally, Secretary of the <ent type='ORG'>Interior</ent> Harold <ent type='ORG'>Ickes</ent>, weren't finished
|
||
|
with <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> just yet. They approached Senator <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent>, chairman
|
||
|
of <ent type='ORG'>the Senate</ent> Special Committee Investigating the <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Defense
|
||
|
Program. "With great enthusiasm Give 'em Hell <ent type='PERSON'>Harry</ent> embarked on a
|
||
|
series of hearings in March 1942, in order to disclose the truth
|
||
|
about <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Between the 26th and the 28th of March, 1942, <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent> "produced
|
||
|
documents showing that <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> had literally
|
||
|
carved up the world markets, with oil and chemical monopolies all
|
||
|
over the map," according to <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>. (12) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Mintz</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Cohen</ent> describe the confrontation:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Four months after <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> entered <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Justice Department</ent> obtained an indictment of <ent type='ORG'>Exxon</ent> and its principal
|
||
|
officers for having made arrangements, starting in the late 1920s
|
||
|
with I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> involving patent sharing and division of world
|
||
|
markets. Jersey <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> agreed not to develop processes for the
|
||
|
manufacture of synthetic rubber; in exchange, <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> agreed not to
|
||
|
compete in the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n petroleum market. After war broke out in
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>, but before the attack on <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>, executives of
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>, at a meeting in <ent type='GPE'>Holland</ent>, established a
|
||
|
'modus <ent type='ORG'>vivendi</ent>' for continuing the arrangements in event of war
|
||
|
between <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> - although the arrangements
|
||
|
interfered with the ability of <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> to make synthetic
|
||
|
rubber desperately needed after it entered <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> in December 1941.
|
||
|
Rather than face a criminal trial, <ent type='ORG'>Exxon</ent> and the indicted executives
|
||
|
entered no-contest pleas - the legal equivalent of guilty pleas -
|
||
|
and were fined the minor sums which were the maximum amounts
|
||
|
permitted by law. A few days later, on March 26, 1942, <ent type='ORG'>the Senate</ent>
|
||
|
Special Committee Investigating the <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Defense Program held a
|
||
|
hearing at which <ent type='PERSON'>Thurman Arnold</ent>, chief of the <ent type='ORG'>Antitrust Division</ent>,
|
||
|
put into the record documents on which the [criminal] indictment had
|
||
|
been based, including a memo from a <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> official on the
|
||
|
'modus <ent type='ORG'>vivendi</ent>' agreed to in <ent type='GPE'>Holland</ent>. After the hearing, the
|
||
|
committee chairman, <ent type='PERSON'>Harry</ent> S. <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent>, characterized the arrangements
|
||
|
as treasonable." (13)</p>

<p> Another source book on this subject of US / <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> corporate
|
||
|
activities is "<ent type='EVENT'>The Secret War Against</ent> the <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>," by <ent type='PERSON'>Mark Aarons</ent> and
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent>. Here is their version of the events:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Before <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>New Jersey</ent> had forged a synthetic oil
|
||
|
and rubber cartel with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>-controlled I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>," which
|
||
|
"worked well until <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> joined <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> in 1941. . . .
|
||
|
Next to the <ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent>s, I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> owned the largest share of
|
||
|
stock in <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>New Jersey</ent>. Among other things, <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>
|
||
|
had provided <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> with its synthetic rubber patents and technical
|
||
|
knowledge, while <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> had kept its patents to itself, under strict
|
||
|
instructions from the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> government."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Evidence which <ent type='PERSON'>Thurman Arnold</ent> turned over to the <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent> Committee,
|
||
|
which <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent> would declare "treasonous," included "<ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>'s 1939
|
||
|
letter renewing its agreement, which made it clear that the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent>s' company was prepared to work with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> whether
|
||
|
their own government was at war with the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent> or not.
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Senate Committee</ent> on the <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Defense was outraged and
|
||
|
began to probe into the whole scandalous arrangement, much to the
|
||
|
discomfort of <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> D. <ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent>, Jr. Suddenly, however, the whole
|
||
|
matter was dropped. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "There was a reason for <ent type='ORG'>Rockefeller</ent>'s escape: blackmail. According
|
||
|
to the former intelligence officers we interviewed on this point,
|
||
|
the blackmail was simple and powerful: The <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers [<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent>, later Secretary of <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent>, later director of the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>] had one of their clients threaten to interrupt the U.S. oil
|
||
|
supply during wartime." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> When confronted by <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent> on the <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> - <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> arrangement
|
||
|
"<ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> executives made it clear that the entire U.S. war effort
|
||
|
was fueled by their oil and it could be stopped. . . . The <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
government had no choice but to go along if it wanted to win the
|
||
|
war." (14) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> July 13, 1944, <ent type='PERSON'>Ralph</ent> W. <ent type='PERSON'>Gallagher</ent>, attorney for <ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>, filed
|
||
|
a lawsuit against the U.S. government's seizure of the contested
|
||
|
patents. "On November 7, 1945, Judge <ent type='PERSON'>Charles</ent> E. <ent type='PERSON'>Wyzanski</ent> gave his
|
||
|
verdict," according to <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>. "He decided that the government had
|
||
|
been entitled to seize the patents. <ent type='PERSON'>Gallagher</ent> appealed. On September
|
||
|
22, 1947, Judge <ent type='PERSON'>Charles</ent> Clark delivered the final word on the
|
||
|
subject. He said, '<ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent> can be considered an enemy national
|
||
|
in view of its relationships with I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> after the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s and <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> had become active enemies.' The appeal was
|
||
|
denied." (15) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> One aspect of this <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> - I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> relationship, revealed in
|
||
|
testimony during the <ent type='ORG'>Patents Committee</ent> hearings, chaired by Senator
|
||
|
Homer T. Bone in May 1942, is of interest to those who seek direct
|
||
|
evidence of a conspiracy by big oil companies to suppress
|
||
|
development of synthetic substitutes to petrochemical products such
|
||
|
as industrial chemicals, aircraft lubricants and fuel, all of which
|
||
|
can be made from hemp: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "On May 6th, <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> R. <ent type='ORG'>Jacobs</ent>, Jr., of the Attorney General's
|
||
|
department, testified that <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> had interfered with the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
explosives industry by blocking the use of a method of producing
|
||
|
synthetic ammonia. As a result of its deals with <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>, the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s had been unable to get the use of this vital process even
|
||
|
after <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>. Also, <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> had been restricted in
|
||
|
techniques of producing hydrogen from natural gas and from obtaining
|
||
|
paraflow, a product used for airplane lubrication at high altitudes.
|
||
|
. . ." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> On August 7th, "<ent type='GPE'>Texas</ent> oil operator C.R. <ent type='PERSON'>Starnes</ent> appeared to testify
|
||
|
that <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> had blocked him at every turn in his efforts to
|
||
|
produce synthetic rubber after <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>. . . ." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> On August 12th, "<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> R. <ent type='ORG'>Jacobs</ent> reappeared in an <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> private's
|
||
|
uniform (he had been inducted the day before) to bring up another
|
||
|
disagreeable matter: <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent> had also, in league with <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>,
|
||
|
restricted production of methanol, a wood alcohol that was sometimes
|
||
|
used as motor fuel." (16) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The restriction against methanol production apparently did not
|
||
|
apply to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, however. "As late as April 1943," <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>
|
||
|
reveals, "<ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Stockholm</ent> [<ent type='GPE'>Sweden</ent>] was reported as
|
||
|
trading with the enemy. . . . Further documents show that, as with
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>, repairs on <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army trucks and conversion from gasoline to
|
||
|
wood-gasoline production were being handled by GM in <ent type='GPE'>Switzerland</ent>."
|
||
|
(17) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The use of hemp as a source of methanol was known to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>,
|
||
|
revealed in the pamphlet "The Humorous Hemp Primer," published in
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Berlin</ent>, also in 1943. This document, recently re-published in the
|
||
|
1995 edition of "Hemp and the <ent type='ORG'>Marijuana</ent> Conspiracy: The Emperor
|
||
|
Wears No Clothes," by veteran hemp conspiracy researcher <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Herer</ent>,
|
||
|
states that:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='ORG'>Crops</ent> should not only provide food in large quantities, they can
|
||
|
provide raw materials for industry. . . . Among such raw materials
|
||
|
of especially high value is hemp . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The woody part of this large plant is not to be thrown out, since
|
||
|
it can easily be used for surface coatings for the finest floors. It
|
||
|
also provides paper and cardboard, building materials and wall
|
||
|
paneling. Further processing will even produce wood sugar and wood
|
||
|
gas. . . .</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Anyone who grows hemp today need not fear a lack of a market,
|
||
|
because hemp, as useful as it is, will be purchased in unlimited
|
||
|
amounts." (18) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> obviously considered hemp a vital war material that could
|
||
|
be used to produce methanol, or "wood gas," at the same time, in
|
||
|
1943, that Du Pont-controlled <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Switzerland</ent> was
|
||
|
"converting from gasoline to wood-gasoline production." This, taken
|
||
|
into consideration along with the earlier statement that <ent type='ORG'>Standard</ent>
|
||
|
Oil-I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> had "restricted production of methanol" and the GM-<ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>-I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> joint venture, <ent type='ORG'>Ethyl</ent>, Inc., whose
|
||
|
profitability depended on the production of lead-tetraethyl for oil-based petrochemical gasoline - in direct competition with the
|
||
|
alternative methanol, or "wood gas," certainly opens new avenues of
|
||
|
investigation into the existence of a conspiracy against hemp as an
|
||
|
alternative, and competing, industrial raw material, by these very
|
||
|
same corporations which sold <ent type='GPE'>America</ent> out to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> for profit and
|
||
|
control of world resources and markets. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Just after <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>," writes <ent type='PERSON'>Seldes</ent>, "the Assistant Attorney
|
||
|
General, Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Thurman Arnold</ent>, issued a sensational report of the
|
||
|
sabotage of the national [war production] program, the first report
|
||
|
naming the practices which were later to be referred to as the
|
||
|
treason of big business in wartime. Said Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Arnold</ent>:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Looking back over 10 months of defense effort we can now see how
|
||
|
much it has been hampered by the attitude of powerful basic
|
||
|
industries who have feared to expand their production because
|
||
|
expansion would endanger their future control of industry. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Anti-trust investigations during the past year have shown that
|
||
|
there is not an organized basic industry in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> which
|
||
|
has not been restricting production by some device or other in order
|
||
|
to avoid what they call 'ruinous overproduction after <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>'."
|
||
|
(19)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> By "ruinous overproduction," of course, they meant free-market
|
||
|
competition. So, to question the existence of an industrial
|
||
|
conspiracy against competition, during the 1930s and 1940s, is
|
||
|
pointless. It has long been totally documented by volumes of
|
||
|
evidence, available in the public record. And among this list of
|
||
|
convicted corporate conspirators are murderers, racists, pro-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
collaborators, blackmailers and <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>s who plotted at
|
||
|
least one armed take-over of the U.S. government. And the list is
|
||
|
not yet complete. </p>
|

|
|
||
|
<p> THE <ent type='ORG'>FORD</ent> MOTOR COMPANY </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Henry <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>, writes <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, "admired <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> from the beginning, when
|
||
|
the future <ent type='PERSON'>Fuhrer</ent> was a struggling and obscure fanatic. He shared
|
||
|
with <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> a fanatical hatred of <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>'s book 'The International Jew' was issued in 1927. A virulent
|
||
|
anti-<ent type='NORP'>Semitic</ent> tract, it was still being distributed in Latin <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>
|
||
|
and the <ent type='NORP'>Arab</ent> countries as late as 1945. <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> admired the book and
|
||
|
it influenced him deeply. Visitors to <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s headquarters at the
|
||
|
Brown <ent type='ORG'>House</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Munich</ent> noticed a large photograph of Henry <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>
|
||
|
hanging in his office. Stacked high on the table outside were copies
|
||
|
of <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>'s book. As early as 1923," when <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> heard that <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> was
|
||
|
planning to run for President, he "told an interviewer from the
|
||
|
'<ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent>-Tribune,' 'I wish that I could send some of my shock troops
|
||
|
to <ent type='GPE'>Chicago</ent> and other big <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n cities to help'." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> As late as 1940, <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> Motor Company "refused to build aircraft
|
||
|
engines for <ent type='GPE'>England</ent> and instead built supplies of the 5-ton military
|
||
|
trucks that were the backbone of <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army transportation." (20) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> Motor Company was also aware of the potential of hemp as
|
||
|
an alternative industrial resource, devoting many years research to
|
||
|
the subject. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In a 1989 <ent type='ORG'>ABC Radio</ent> broadcast, <ent type='PERSON'>Hugh Downs</ent> reported that in the
|
||
|
1930s, "the <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> Motor Company also saw a future in biomass fuels.
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> operated a successful biomass conversion plant that included
|
||
|
hemp at their <ent type='LOC'>Iron Mountain</ent> facility in <ent type='GPE'>Michigan</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> engineers
|
||
|
extracted methanol, charcoal fuel, tar, pitch, ethyl acetate, and
|
||
|
creosote - all fundamental ingredients for modern industry, and now
|
||
|
supplied by oil-related industries. . . . Henry <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>'s experiments
|
||
|
with methanol promised cheap, readily-available fuel." (21) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> As reported in "<ent type='ORG'>Popular Mechanics</ent>" in December, 1941, <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>'s
|
||
|
research represented "an industrial revolution in progress . . . a
|
||
|
revolution in materials that will affect every home." (22) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> So, it is possible, even likely, that <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>General Motors</ent>
|
||
|
conversion "from gasoline to wood-gasoline production" for <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, as earlier reported by <ent type='PERSON'>Higham</ent>, involved at least some
|
||
|
consideration of hemp as a resource, if not actual production of
|
||
|
"wood-gas" from hemp. After all, <ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent> had already committed several
|
||
|
years and significant research dollars to the subject. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The implication of methanol fuel patents, hemp industry research
|
||
|
and production facilities, all in the hands of this cabal of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>-allied <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n corporations, during a proven period of anti-competition conspiracies, and wartime blackmail against the U.S.
|
||
|
government, should provide additional support for the hemp
|
||
|
conspiracy theories. The fact is that <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> recognized hemp
|
||
|
as a vital war material - one which, just before <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s entrance
|
||
|
into <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, was positioned to compete in the free-market
|
||
|
against the products controlled by the Pro-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|

corporations. Unrestricted expansion of United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s industrial
|
||
|
hemp production threatened not only the profits of these treasonous
|
||
|
corporations, but the degree of their control over <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s
|
||
|
production of vital war materials. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> This view of hemp, not as a "dangerous drug" but as a vital war
|
||
|
material, was acknowledged by <ent type='ORG'>the Kentucky Legislature</ent> a little over
|
||
|
100 years before the <ent type='NORP'>Japanese</ent> sneak attack on <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>. In 1841,
|
||
|
according to Professor <ent type='PERSON'>James</ent> F. <ent type='ORG'>Hopkins</ent>, author of "A History of the
|
||
|
Hemp Industry in <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent>," published by <ent type='ORG'>the University</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent>
|
||
|
Press in 1951: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "When the farmers of <ent type='GPE'>Woodford County</ent> [KY] assembled in October,
|
||
|
1841, to consider a program of hemp production for the <ent type='ORG'>navy</ent>, they
|
||
|
only went as far as to express an opinion that the government should
|
||
|
employ a rope spinner in <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent> for the purpose of converting the
|
||
|
fiber into yarns, which could be transported much more cheaply and
|
||
|
safely than the bulky raw material. <ent type='ORG'>The Committee</ent> on Agriculture of
|
||
|
the <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent> <ent type='ORG'>House</ent> of Representatives inquired into the matter early
|
||
|
in 1842 . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Both houses of <ent type='ORG'>the General Assembly</ent> sent to the Senators and
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men from <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent> a request that they use their 'best
|
||
|
exertions' to have established in the state one or more agencies for
|
||
|
the inspection and manufacture of hemp for the <ent type='ORG'>navy</ent>. A select
|
||
|
committee of <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>, appointed to consider the resolutions from
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent>, reported three resolutions of its own: that the <ent type='ORG'>navy</ent> be
|
||
|
directed to construct a factory at <ent type='GPE'>Louisville</ent> 'for the purpose of
|
||
|
depositing and manufacturing . . . such hempen fabrics of domestic
|
||
|
water-rotted hemp as the public service may require'; that
|
||
|
inspectors be appointed to test the fiber that might be offered for
|
||
|
sale; and that, after due notice to the public, purchase of the
|
||
|
necessary amount of fiber be made at the factory. <ent type='ORG'>The Committee</ent>
|
||
|
contended that its plan would build up during peacetime a source of
|
||
|
hemp which would be vitally important in case of war, encourage
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n agriculture and manufactures, and decrease the unfavorable
|
||
|
balance of trade." (23) </p>

<p> Even after <ent type='PERSON'>Pearl Harbor</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent> was working for the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, reports

|

|
|

|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent> also "supplied ingredients for the rocket bombs that fell on

<ent type='GPE'>London</ent>," and other devices as well, without which "it would have

<p> In 1938, "following a series of meetings with <ent type='ORG'>Luftwaffe</ent> chief

<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Anthony Sampson</ent>, in "The Sovereign <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> of <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent>," reports on what

<p> ". . . <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent> now presents itself as the innocent victim of the Second

<ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent>, and has been handsomely recompensed for its injuries. In

1967, nearly thirty years after the events, <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent> actually managed to

obtain $27 million in compensation from the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n government, for

|
war damage to Focke-Wulf plants - on the basis that they were

<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n property bombed by <ent type='ORG'>Allied</ent> bombers." (26)</p>
|

|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='ORG'>The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission</ent> was responsible for this

payment to <ent type='ORG'>ITT</ent>, and other U.S. corporations as well. </p>
|

<p> <ent type='GPE'>Bradford</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Snell</ent> reports that "After the cessation of hostilities, GM

<p> Contemporary history records <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> as one of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s top

|
spymasters, from his early days in <ent type='ORG'>the Office</ent> of Strategic Services
|
||
|
(<ent type='ORG'>OSS</ent>) in <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, to his position as Director of the <ent type='ORG'>Central</ent>
|
||
|
Intelligence Agency (<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>) in the 1950s and early 1960s (until
|
||
|
President <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> F. <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent> fired him over the <ent type='LOC'>Bay of Pigs</ent> disaster in
|
||
|
1961), and finally to his membership on the controversial <ent type='PERSON'>Warren</ent>
|
||
|
Commission, which investigated President <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent>'s assassination.
|
||
|
Until recently, his pivotal role in promoting a U.S. corporate
|
||
|
relationship with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> was little known. <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent>
|
||
|
describe the post-<ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> I role of <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent>, and his brother, <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent>, in the following terms:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "We first turn to <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s creation of international finance
|
||
|
networks for the benefit of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>. In the beginning, moving
|
||
|
money into the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent> was quite legal. Lawyers saw to that. And
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> and his brother <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent> were not just any lawyers. They
|
||
|
were international finance specialists for the powerful Wall Street
|
||
|
law firm of <ent type='PERSON'>Sullivan</ent> & <ent type='ORG'>Cromwell</ent>. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers were the ones who convinced <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
businessmen to avoid U.S. government regulation by investing in
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. It began with the Versailles Treaty, in which they played
|
||
|
no small role. After <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> I the defeated <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> government
|
||
|
promised to pay war reparations to the <ent type='ORG'>Allies</ent> in gold, but <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>
|
||
|
had no gold. It had to borrow the gold from <ent type='PERSON'>Sullivan</ent> & <ent type='ORG'>Cromwell</ent>'s
|
||
|
clients in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>. Nearly 70 percent of the money that
|
||
|
flowed into <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> during the 1930s came from investors in the
|
||
|
United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s, many of them <ent type='PERSON'>Sullivan</ent> & <ent type='ORG'>Cromwell</ent> clients. . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>, as a member of the board of I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>, seems to
|
||
|
have had little difficulty in getting along with whoever was in
|
||
|
charge. Some of our sources insist that both <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers made
|
||
|
substantial but indirect contributions to the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> party as the
|
||
|
price of continued influence inside the new <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> order. . . ."

<p> "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if

|
the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it
|
||
|
becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in

essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a

|
||
|
<p> As mentioned earlier, the secret U.S./<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> corporate alliance
|
||
|
during <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II was the result of substantial <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
investment in post-<ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> I <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. In order to protect these
|
||
|
investments, and the accumulating profits, the U.S. multinational
|
||
|
corporations remained an important part of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war machine
|
||
|
until the final defeat of <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> in 1945. What effect did the end
|

of <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II have on this faction of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> collaborators? </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In this section we will review the evidence, much of it from
|
||
|
recently de-classified documents, that this pro-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> faction, rather
|
||
|
than facing charges of high treason, became an integral part of the
|
||
|
United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s national security apparatus, extending its fascist
|
||
|
influence in both foreign and domestic policies and, in effect,
|
||
|
creating what has been referred to as <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s "Invisible
|
||
|
Government." The excuse, of course, was Communism. </p>

|
pro-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> activities, did not go unnoticed. "Before his death, former

|
information on the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> boys' activities over the years. His

verdict was blunt. 'The <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers were traitors.' They had

to aid his <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> clients with their money laundering."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> had one thing in mind: "The sudden release of the
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Safehaven</ent> intercepts would force a public outcry to bring treason
|
||
|
charges against those <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n businessmen who aided the
|
||
|
enemy in time of war." Among the targets were <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>, Henry
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Ford</ent>, and other U.S. industrialists. (5) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The plan failed, however, due to <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> being "tipped off . . .
|
||
|
that he was under surveillance" in time to cover his tracks. One
|
||
|
possible source of the leak was Vice President <ent type='PERSON'>Henry Wallace</ent>, "who
|
||
|
constantly shared information with his brother-in-law, the <ent type='NORP'>Swiss</ent>
|

|
minister in <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> during <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>." </p>
|
||
|
|

|
<p> "<ent type='PERSON'>Wallace</ent>," the authors reveal, "gave many details of his secret
|
||
|
meetings with <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> to the <ent type='NORP'>Swiss</ent> diplomat." The problem was
|
||
|
that, at the time, the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> "had recruited the head of the <ent type='NORP'>Swiss</ent>
|
||
|
secret service." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It is, perhaps, no coincidence that <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent> dropped <ent type='PERSON'>Wallace</ent>
|
||
|
during the 1944 election, choosing instead Senator <ent type='PERSON'>Harry</ent> S. <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent>

<p> The effort was successful, according to the authors, who state that

the "vast bulk of the wealth of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> empire" which "disappeared

before the end of <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II" reappeared "within a decade in the

<ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s clients were not defeated, only inconvenienced." The

|

|
|

|
<p> Perhaps the most controversial information which is now emerging
|
||
|
with the release of recently declassified documents concerning World
|
||
|
War II, is the role of <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent>, both in its pre-war <ent type='NORP'>German</ent>
|
||
|
investments, and its role in helping <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals escape
|
||
|
justice after <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>. Concerning <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent>-<ent type='NORP'>German</ent> investments,
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent> are quite clear:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "That <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent> encouraged such investments and even donated
|
||
|
money to <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> himself cannot be denied. A <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> nun, Sister
|
||
|
Pascalina, was present at its creation. In the early 1920s she was
|
||
|
the housekeeper for Archbishop of <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent>-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> connection . . .
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Eugenio Pacelli</ent>, then the papal nuncio in <ent type='GPE'>Munich</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Sister Pascalina</ent>
|
||
|
vividly recalls receiving Adolf <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> late one night and watching
|
||
|
the archbishop give <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent> a large amount of <ent type='ORG'>Church</ent> money."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In addition, <ent type='PERSON'>Eugenio Pacelli</ent> </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "later convinced <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent> to invest millions of dollars in the
|
||
|
rising <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> economy, money from <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent>'s land settlement that
|
||
|
ended the Pope's claim of sovereignty over territory outside the
|
||
|
walls of <ent type='GPE'>Vatican City</ent>. It was <ent type='PERSON'>Pacelli</ent> who negotiated the Concordat
|
||
|
with <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> and then had to deal with the consequences of his own
|
||
|
mistakes when he became pope on the eve of <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The <ent type='ORG'>Vatican</ent> and the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers had the same problem. Once
|
||
|
their money was in <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s hands, how would they get it back?"</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The authors interviewed "a former colonel in U.S. Military
|
||
|
Intelligence who specialized in tracing enemy assets. He claimed
|
||
|
that only a tiny portion of the <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent>bank's gold ingots actually
|
||
|
reached <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent> Bank, while the rest was held in cooperative
|
||
|
banks in <ent type='GPE'>Belgium</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Liechtenstein</ent>, and especially <ent type='GPE'>Switzerland</ent>." It was
|
||
|
only necessary to transfer the paperwork on the gold, not the gold
|
||
|
itself. Since, by that time, <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> knew his telegraph
|
||
|
communications were being monitored by the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> wiretap operation
|
||
|
in <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>, he instead used couriers to "ensure absolute secrecy in
|
||
|
moving the foreign currency and the ownership documents out of
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Switzerland</ent> . . . special agents of <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent> who had diplomatic
|
||
|
immunity to move back and forth across both <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Allied</ent> lines. .

|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . . The <ent type='ORG'>Vatican</ent>'s eminence grise for <ent type='NORP'>Balkan</ent> intelligence, the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Bosnian</ent>-<ent type='NORP'>Croat</ent> priest <ent type='PERSON'>Krunoslav Draganovic</ent>, was involved in
|
||
|
transporting large quantities of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> booty, especially gold
|
||
|
bullion, from <ent type='GPE'>Austria</ent> to the safety of the Holy See with the help of
|
||
|
the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>-<ent type='PERSON'>Angleton</ent> clique in <ent type='GPE'>Rome</ent>. Some of the booty was
|
||
|
transported in truck convoys run by <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> troops. Other shipments
|
||
|
were carried in U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> jeeps provided to Father <ent type='PERSON'>Draganovic</ent> so
|

that he could conduct pastoral visits' on behalf of <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent>. </p>

|
<p> "Another ardent <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> propagandist and agent, <ent type='NORP'>Slovenian</ent> bishop

<ent type='PERSON'>Gregory Rozman</ent>, was sent to <ent type='GPE'>Bern</ent> with the help of <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s friends

in U.S. intelligence. Declassified U.S. intelligence files confirm

that Bishop <ent type='PERSON'>Rozman</ent> was suspected of trying to arrange the transfer

of huge quantities of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>-controlled gold and <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern currency that
|

had been discreetly secreted in <ent type='NORP'>Swiss</ent> banks during <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>. For a

|
few months the <ent type='ORG'>Allies</ent> prevented <ent type='PERSON'>Rozman</ent> from gaining access to this
|
||
|
treasure, but then the way was mysteriously cleared. In fact, the
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Vatican</ent> connection had fixed it, and before too long the
|
||
|
bishop obtained the loot for his <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> friends, who were hiding in

<ent type='GPE'>Argentina</ent>. </p>
|

|
|

|
<p> "Such instances turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg. It

has long been acknowledged that it was <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> who tipped off

|
General <ent type='ORG'>Patton</ent> about the buried <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> treasure that lay in the path

of the U.S. Third <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent>. <ent type='ORG'>Patton</ent> explicitly urged General <ent type='PERSON'>Eisenhower</ent>

refused. </p>

<p> "Our sources claim that <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> and his colleagues exerted a great

were not seized by the <ent type='ORG'>Allies</ent> as reparations for the <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>. After

<p> "In the cause of anticommunism, and to retrieve its own investments

<p> "<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> and some of his friends volunteered for postwar service

with the government not out of patriotism but of necessity,"

|
according to <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent>. "They had to be in positions of

|
power to suppress the evidence of their own dealings with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>.

The <ent type='PERSON'>Safehaven</ent> investigation was quickly stripped from <ent type='ORG'>Treasury</ent> . . .
|

and turned over to the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department. There <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s friends
|
||

shredded the index to the interlocking corporations and blocked

further investigations. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> had this goal in mind: Not a single <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n businessman
|
||
|
was ever going to be convicted of treason for helping the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>.
|
||
|
None ever was, despite the evidence. According to one of our sources
|
||
|
in the intelligence community, the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> Counter Intelligence
|
||
|
Corps had two large '<ent type='ORG'>Civilian Internment Centers</ent>' in Occupied
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, code named '<ent type='ORG'>Ashcan</ent>' and '<ent type='PERSON'>Dustbin</ent>.' The <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent> had identified
|
||
|
and captured a large number of U.S. citizens who had stayed in
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> and aided the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent> all through <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II. The
|

|
evidence of their treason was overwhelming. The captured <ent type='NORP'>German</ent>
|
||
|
records were horribly incriminating. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Yet <ent type='PERSON'>Victor Wohreheide</ent>, the young <ent type='ORG'>Justice Department</ent> attorney
|
||
|
responsible for preparing the treason trials, suddenly ordered the
|

|
prisoners' release. All of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> collaborators were allowed to

return to <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> and reclaim their citizenship. At the

same time, another <ent type='ORG'>Justice Department</ent> attorney, O. <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> Rogge, who
|
||

dared to make a speech about <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> collaborators in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>
|

was quickly fired. However, the attorney who buried the treason

cases was later promoted to special assistant attorney general. </p>

|
<p> "<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> and his clients had won. The proof is in the bottom line.
|
||
|
Forty years after <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, Fortune magazine published a list of

|
the hundred richest men in the world. There were no <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent> on the

list. The great fortunes of the <ent type='PERSON'>Rothschilds</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Warburgs</ent> had been

diminished to insignificance by the <ent type='EVENT'>Depression</ent>, the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, and World

War II. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Near the top of the list were several multibillionaires who had

been prominent members of <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s inner circle. A few even had
|

|
served time in <ent type='ORG'>Allied</ent> prisons as <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals, but they were
|
||
|
all released quickly. The bottom line is that the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> businessmen
|
||
|
survived <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> with their fortunes intact and rebuilt their
|
||
|
industrial empires to become the richest men in the world. <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s
|
||
|
clients got away with it. President <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent>'s dream of putting the

<ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>' moneymen on trial died with him."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='GPE'>England</ent> also failed to see justice done, according to the authors:
|
||
|
"The <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> authorities in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> ordered the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> to release
|
||
|
all of the VIP <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> and hand over the evidence against

them. Even before <ent type='PERSON'>Roosevelt</ent>'s death, <ent type='ORG'>Church</ent>ill had already begun to

|
withdraw from his commitment to prosecute <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>." The reason?" Too
|
||
|
many <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> industries might be seized as <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> fronts. Too many
|
||
|
upper-class collaborators might have to be prosecuted. The <ent type='NORP'>German</ent>s
|
||
|
were defeated, and the <ent type='NORP'>Soviets</ent> were now the enemy.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Funding for <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> war crimes investigations suddenly dried up.
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> bankers such as <ent type='PERSON'>Herman Abs</ent> were released from prison to work as
|
||
|
economic advisers in the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> zone of <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. The history of

<ent type='NORP'>British</ent> 'efforts' to punish <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> after <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> is aptly summarized

<p> "The pattern was repeated all over the remnants of the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent>.

I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>, the citadel of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> industrialists, was never

dismantled. <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s clients demanded, and received, <ent type='ORG'>Allied</ent>
|

compensation for bomb damage to their factories in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. Only a
|

|
few of the top <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> were executed. Most of the rest were released

from prison within a few years. Others, . . . would go virtually

unpunished. No one ever investigated the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> sympathizers in

<ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern intelligence who had made it all possible." (12)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> As we have seen, the <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n industrialists who did business with
|
||
|
the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> were in no way inconvenienced by war crimes trials, and
|
||
|
even received compensation for damages to their <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war plants.
|
||
|
Some <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> industrialists were charged and convicted by the <ent type='GPE'>Nuremberg</ent>
|
||
|
war crimes trials but, in their book, "The <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n Establishment,"
|
||
|
authors <ent type='PERSON'>Leonard</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Mark Silk</ent> observe that in the late 1940s "the
|
||
|
United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s and its leaders faced an agonizing moral problem in
|
||
|
coming to terms with those <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> industrialists who had willingly
|

done business with the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> and who were now just as willing to do
|
||
|
business with the <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> in the reconstruction of <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. The
|
||
|
problem was dramatized when those <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> industrialists who had been
|
||
|
convicted of war crimes at <ent type='GPE'>Nuremberg</ent> were all released from
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Landsberg</ent> prison in early 1951, their sentences commuted by the

<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n High Commissioner [of <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> Occupation], <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> J. McCloy. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . . Whatever the motivation," the authors continue, "the
|
||
|
blanket release of the convicted industrialists was taken within
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> - and by them - as a sign that businessmen were not to be

seriously blamed for their involvement in matters for which others

criminals is described in the book, "The New <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> and the Old
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>," by T.H. Tetens, an expert in <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> affairs. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Tetens observes that in "1950, when <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> showed its eagerness
|
||
|
to create a new <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army of 500000 men, the SS [at that time
|
||
|
reorganized into a neo-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> front group called <ent type='ORG'>HIAG</ent>, which stands
|
||
|
for 'mutual assistance,' a so-called veterans organization],
|
||
|
together with the old <ent type='NORP'>Wehrmacht</ent> officers, started an all-out
|
||
|
campaign for the immediate release of all war criminals. It was a
|
||
|
superbly organized blackmail action, enjoying wide support from the
|
||
|
public, from all parties, and carried toward success by Dr.
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Adenauer</ent>'s astute maneuverings. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The Chancellor suggested an inconspicuous way to solve the problem
|
||
|
with 'parole,' 'sick leave,' and other roundabout methods. The more
|
||
|
the U.S. High Commission in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> showed leniency, however, the
|
||
|
stronger the pressure became: either 'all so-called war criminals
|
||
|
are released or there will be no <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army.' <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n diplomats
|
||
|
followed Dr. <ent type='PERSON'>Adenauer</ent>'s plan to feed the nationalistic monster
|
||
|
piecemeal. Every few days we quietly released one or two more from
|
||
|
prison - the <ent type='ORG'>Krupps</ent>, the I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent> directors, and dozens of former
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Wehrmacht</ent> Generals. On friendly advice from <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>, the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>
|
||
|
and the <ent type='NORP'>French</ent>, extremely reluctant, had to follow suit. When the
|
||
|
supply dried up, there remained behind bars only the SS, the mass
|
||
|
murderers from <ent type='LOC'>Dachau</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Belsen</ent>, and <ent type='ORG'>Buchenwald</ent>, and the toughs from
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>the Waffen</ent> SS who had massacred <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n, <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>, and <ent type='NORP'>Canadian</ent>
|
||
|
prisoners of war. This put High Commissioner <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> McCloy in a most
|
||
|
embarrassing position. . . ." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Tetens explains how Chancellor <ent type='PERSON'>Adenauer</ent> helped High Commissioner
|
||
|
McCloy and the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department avoid this embarrassment:
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Adenauer</ent> "suggested the formation of a review board, with three
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>German</ent> members sitting in and having equal voice in making
|
||
|
recommendations. The whole procedure was to be shrouded in secrecy,
|
||
|
and it was decided that the names of those released should not be
|
||
|
revealed to the public. In this way the last few hundred 'poor
|
||
|
devils,' those SS mass killers and sadists, were quietly set free
|
||
|
within two or three years." (14) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Christopher Simpson</ent>, in his extensively documented book on the
|
||
|
subject of U.S. recruitment of <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, "Blowback," goes into more
|
||
|
detail of the backgrounds of those released: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The beneficiaries of this act included, for example, all of the
|
||
|
convicted concentration camp doctors; all of the top judges who had
|
||
|
administered the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>' 'special courts'" and dozens of similar
|
||
|
cases. In addition, "McCloy's clemency decisions for the <ent type='PERSON'>Landsberg</ent>
|
||
|
inmates set in motion a much broader process that eventually freed
|
||
|
hundreds of other convicted <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals over the next five
|
||
|
years. . . . By the winter of 1950-1951 the most senior levels of
|
||
|
the U.S. government had decided to abrogate their wartime pledge to
|
||
|
bring <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals to justice. . . . in the interests of
|
||
|
preserving <ent type='ORG'>West</ent> <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> military support for <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n leadership in
|
||
|
the cold war. While <ent type='NORP'>nazism</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s inner circle continued to be
|
||
|
publicly condemned throughout the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>, the actual investigation and
|
||
|
prosecution of specific <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> crimes came to a standstill." (15) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> One case merits special attention: <ent type='PERSON'>Sepp Dietrich</ent>, "the organizer of
|
||
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>Fuehrer</ent>'s bodyguard. <ent type='PERSON'>Dietrich</ent> carried out <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s personal
|
||
|
murder assignments" and, Tetens continues, "was in charge of the
|
||
|
liquidation of the <ent type='NORP'>Jewish</ent> population in the city of <ent type='GPE'>Kharkov</ent>. During
|
||
|
the Battle of the Bulge his troops committed the <ent type='ORG'>Malmedy</ent> massacre,
|
||
|
killing more than 600 military and civilian prisoners, among them
|
||
|
115 <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n G.I.s. He was sentenced to death, and the sentence was
|
||
|
later commuted to life imprisonment. In 1955 he was one of the last
|
||
|
poor devils' quietly released from prison and greeted by the <ent type='GPE'>Bonn</ent>
|
||
|
government with the homecoming pay of 6000 marks." (16) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In a "<ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> Times" article published February 1, 1951, one
|
||
|
prominent <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n expressed support for the reduction of sentences
|
||
|
for those responsible for the mass murder of the 600 unarmed
|
||
|
prisoners of war at <ent type='ORG'>Malmedy</ent>, describing the decision as "extremely
|
||
|
wise." The <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n was Senator Joseph <ent type='PERSON'>McCarthy</ent>, <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> from
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Wisconsin</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Tetens observes that, despite the wide-spread fear by "the <ent type='NORP'>French</ent>,
|
||
|
the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>, and the smaller <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>an countries" of a re-militarized
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, "the outbreak of the <ent type='EVENT'>Korean War</ent> (June 1950) brought a total
|
||
|
change. The provisions which banned all military and veterans'
|
||
|
organizations lost all their meaning and were no longer enforced.
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> was allowed by the <ent type='ORG'>Allies</ent> to set up its own General
|
||
|
Staff, camouflaged under the name <ent type='ORG'>Blank Office</ent>. Supported by <ent type='GPE'>Bonn</ent>
|
||
|
and tolerated by <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>, a nation-wide network was
|
||
|
created to reactivate the experienced officers and the man power of
|
||
|
the old <ent type='NORP'>Wehrmacht</ent>. The short period of 1950-51 must be marked as the
|
||
|
time when <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s old officers, SS leaders, and [<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>] party
|
||
|
functionaries returned to power and influence." (17) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Tetens' comment that the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>'s return to power in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> was
|
||
|
"tolerated by <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>" was a historical understatement. By
|
||
|
the time Tetens' book was published in 1961, hundreds of convicted
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals had already been smuggled out of <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> to avoid
|
||
|
prosecution at <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> crimes trials at <ent type='GPE'>Nuremberg</ent>, recruited by, and
|
||
|
on the payroll of several U.S. government agencies, including the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Army</ent> <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent>, the <ent type='ORG'>OSS</ent>, and <ent type='ORG'>the Office</ent> of Policy Coordination within the
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Over the past fifty years, it is now documented, these <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>nized
|
||
|
fugitive <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> war criminals have been involved in, and in many cases
|
||
|
in charge of, many U.S. government covert operations --
|
||
|
international weapons smuggling, drug cartels, <ent type='ORG'>Central</ent> <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
death squads, right wing anti-<ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> dictatorships, LSD mind
|
||
|
control experiments -- the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Committee's Ethnic
|
||
|
Heritage Councils, and the Presidential campaigns of <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Nixon</ent>,
|
||

<ent type='PERSON'>Ronald Reagan</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent>. </p>

|

|
<p> THE GEHLEN ORGANIZATION </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Probably the most influential <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> to come to work for the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s intelligence agencies during <ent type='EVENT'>the Cold War</ent> was named <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Reinhard <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>," writes author <ent type='PERSON'>Christopher Simpson</ent>, "<ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s
|
||
|
most senior military intelligence officer on the eastern front, had
|
||
|
begun planning his surrender to <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> at least as early
|
||
|
as the fall of 1944." Of "several hundred" high-ranking <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>
|
||
|
officers who switched sides at the end of <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>
|
||
|
"proved to be the most important of them all. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "In early March 1945 <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> and a small group of his most senior
|
||
|
officers carefully microfilmed the vast holdings on the <ent type='GPE'>USSR</ent> in the
|
||
|
. . . military intelligence section of the <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army's general
|
||
|
staff. They packed the film in watertight steel drums and secretly
|
||
|
buried it in remote mountain meadows scattered through the <ent type='GPE'>Austria</ent>n
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Alps</ent>. Then, on May 22, 1945, <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> and his top aides surrendered to
|
||
|
an <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n Counter-intelligence Corps [<ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent>] team." (18) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> According to Tetens: ". . . [<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>] immediately asked for an
|
||
|
interview with the commanding officer . . ." and offered the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s "his intelligence staff, spy apparatus, and the priceless
|
||
|
files for future service." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> was sent to <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent> and his offer was taken. "The
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Pentagon</ent>-<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> agreement," states Tetens, "in practice guaranteed
|
||
|
the continuation of the all-important <ent type='ORG'>Abwehr</ent> division of the <ent type='NORP'>German</ent>
|
||
|
General Staff. Hundreds of <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> army and SS officers were quietly
|
||
|
released from internment camps and joined <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>'s headquarters in
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>the Spessart Mountains</ent> in central <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. When the staff had grown
|
||
|
to three thousand men, the Bureau <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> opened a closely guarded
|
||
|
twenty-five-acre compound near <ent type='GPE'>Pullach</ent>, south of <ent type='GPE'>Munich</ent>, operating
|
||
|
under the innocent name of the <ent type='LOC'>South</ent> <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> Industrial Development
|
||
|
Organization. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Within a few years the <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> apparatus had grown by leaps and
|
||
|
bounds. In the early fifties it was estimated that the organization
|
||
|
employed up to 4000 intelligence specialists in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, mainly
|
||
|
former army and SS officers, and that more than 4000 V-men
|
||
|
(undercover agents) were active throughout the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent>-bloc
|
||
|
countries. <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>'s spy network stretches from <ent type='GPE'>Korea</ent> to <ent type='GPE'>Cairo</ent>, from
|
||
|
<ent type='LOC'>Siberia</ent> to Santiago de <ent type='GPE'>Chile</ent>. . . . When <ent type='GPE'>the Federal Republic</ent> [of
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>West</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>] became a sovereign state in 1955, the Bureau <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>
|
||
|
was openly recognized as the official intelligence arm of the <ent type='GPE'>Bonn</ent>
|
||
|
government." (19) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> How important was the <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> Org, as it became known, to the
|
||
|
history of <ent type='EVENT'>the Cold War</ent>? Simpson's research documents that it was
|
||
|
perhaps the most significant element of all:</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . . The Org became the most important eyes and ears for U.S.
|
||
|
intelligence inside the closed societies of the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> bloc. 'In
|
||
|
1946 [U.S.] intelligence files on the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> Union were virtually
|
||
|
empty,' says <ent type='PERSON'>Harry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Rositzke</ent>, the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>'s former chief of espionage
|
||
|
inside the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> Union. '. . . . <ent type='PERSON'>Rositzke</ent> worked closely with
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> during the formative years of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and credits <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>'s
|
||
|
organization with playing a "primary role" in filling the empty file
|
||
|
folders during that period. . . .' </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "'<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> had to make his money by creating a threat that we were
|
||
|
afraid of,' says <ent type='PERSON'>Victor Marchetti</ent>, formerly the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>'s chief analyst
|
||
|
of <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> strategic war plans and capabilities, 'so we would give
|
||
|
him more money to tell us about it.' He continues: 'In my opinion,
|
||
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> Organization provided nothing worthwhile for the
|
||
|
understanding or estimating <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> military or political
|
||
|
capabilities in <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent> or anywhere else.' Employing <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>
|
||
|
was 'a waste of time, money, and effort, except that maybe he had
|
||
|
some CI [counter-intelligence] value, because practically everybody
|
||
|
in his organization was sucking off both tits.'" (20) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> By 'sucking off both tits' <ent type='ORG'>Marchetti</ent> is referring to the fact that
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>'s elaborate operation was penetrated by <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> spies at the
|
||
|
very time it was our most important source of intelligence upon
|
||
|
which <ent type='EVENT'>the Cold War</ent> was based. In fact, the <ent type='NORP'>Communists</ent> had
|
||
|
infiltrated <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> intelligence long before <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> switched sides. </p>

revolution and topple <ent type='NORP'>Bolshevism</ent>. The front groups attracted support
|

|
from the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>. Considerable financial assistance was supplied and
|

|
close ties forged with various <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern intelligence services. This
|

enabled the <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> double agents running the front groups to co-opt the legitimate emigre opposition, splinter their leadership and
|
||
|
provoke them into premature and poorly organized rebellions which
|

were easily defeated. More importantly, the false front groups were

a vehicle for long-term <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> penetration of <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern society. . .

<p> The authors identify one of these groups as the <ent type='ORG'>Narodny</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Trudovoi</ent>
|

|
Soyuz (<ent type='ORG'>NTS</ent>), or the People's Labour Alliance. The <ent type='ORG'>NTS</ent> represented

|
itself as a group of anti-<ent type='NORP'>communist</ent> "moles" inside the <ent type='ORG'>Kremlin</ent> and,
|
||
|
in the 1920s, recruited a <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> agent named Prince Anton

Vasilevich <ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>. <ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>, who actually worked for <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> Military

<p> "Just before <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II began," according to the authors, "an

<ent type='GPE'>Austria</ent>n Jew named <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Kauder</ent> created a secret intelligence
|
||
|
network, code named <ent type='ORG'>MAX</ent>." <ent type='ORG'>Kauder</ent>, using the name of [<ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent>] Klatt -
|

<ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>'s intelligence chief ["Unholy <ent type='ORG'>Trinity</ent>," <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent>, p.

spy chief who collaborated with <ent type='GPE'>the Vatican</ent> and the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent> to

Orchestra]." </p>
|

|
|

<p> The <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> thought the <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> network was made up of "so-called <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>" who "were willing to spy against the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> Union, not for the
|
||
|
glory of the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent> but to save themselves and their families
|
||
|
from the concentration camps." The <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> network was supposed to have
|
||
|
had "the only communication link to a secret network of '<ent type='ORG'>White</ent>'
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Russian</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>s inside the <ent type='ORG'>Kremlin</ent> [<ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>NTS</ent>], who had
|

|
supposedly infiltrated <ent type='PERSON'>Stalin</ent>'s military headquarters prior to World
|

|
War II." But, the authors continue, "the <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> network was not made up
|
||
|
of <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent>. They were, in fact, <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent> who risked their

lives inside the heart of the Third <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent>'s intelligence service." </p>
|

|
|

|
<p> The <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> network actually misled the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, feeding them false
|

|
intelligence on the capabilities and intentions of the <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> Union,
|
||
|
leading "the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> divisions into a series of death traps on the

<ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> front." The <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> double-agents were responsible for the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>
|
||
|
defeats at <ent type='PERSON'>Stalin</ent>grad, "the giant battle of Kursk where <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s
|

tank divisions were slaughtered. The final sting," continue the
|

|
authors, "was to mislead <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> into believing that the Red army

<ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s divisions were destroyed on the <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> front, largely as a
|
||
|
result of the misleading intelligence supplied by <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent>." (22) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> When <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> was recruited by <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>
|
||
|
ordered the ex-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> spymaster to "revive the <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent> network." <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>
|
||
|
already had plans to do just that, intending "to make <ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>'s <ent type='PERSON'>Max</ent>
|
||
|
network the centerpiece of his new <ent type='ORG'>West</ent> <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> intelligence agency.
|
||
|
As soon as a <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> president was elected in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>,
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> intended to take over the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> and make <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> and <ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent> the
|
||
|
heart of his anti-<ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> network. The <ent type='NORP'>Soviets</ent>, of course, were
|
||
|
delighted as they watched <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent> attempt to plant a
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> spy ring in the heart of <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>ern intelligence. . . .</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . [E]ventually, in 1956, the <ent type='ORG'>Allies</ent> decided that the whole
|
||
|
thing had been a giant <ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent>-controlled operation. Dozens of
|
||
|
operations, hundreds of agents, thousands of innocent civilians had
|
||
|
been betrayed. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> ". . . [T]hree years after <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> became head of <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> in 1953, his
|
||
|
pet '<ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>,' <ent type='NORP'>Turkel</ent>, broadcast the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> codes to start the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Hungarian</ent> uprising prematurely. Thousands of innocent <ent type='NORP'>Hungarian</ent>s
|
||
|
rushed on to the streets of <ent type='GPE'>Budapest</ent> to start the revolution.
|
||
|
Instead of <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n paratroopers dropping supplies, they found
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Soviet</ent> tanks waiting in the suburbs."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> By 1959, the collapse of <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s spy network was almost total:
|
||
|
"U.S. Military Intelligence admitted to the <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Security
|
||
|
Council that it did not have a single network of couriers or safe
|
||
|
houses left in <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> territory, apart from East <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>.
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> 'freedom fighters' had sold him out." (23) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> COLD WARRIORS </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> It was <ent type='PERSON'>Harry</ent> Rositze who best described the attitude of the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s military-intelligence establishment after the end of World
|
||
|
War II: "Any bastard as long as he was anti-<ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent>." Rositze, the
|
||
|
"former head of secret operations inside the <ent type='GPE'>USSR</ent>" for the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, was
|
||
|
correct. (24) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> We have seen that many <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> - including those who committed
|
||
|
atrocities - returned to positions of power and influence inside
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent> after <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>. Unknown until fairly recently was the extent
|
||
|
of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> recruitment by U.S. intelligence agencies and political
|
||
|
organizations, in the 1940s and 1950s. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Perhaps the most publicized program of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> recruitment is that of
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Project Paperclip</ent>, which involved the collection of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> rocket
|
||
|
scientists and facilities, all of which were later incorporated into
|
||
|
the U.S. Space Program. <ent type='PERSON'>Klaus Barbie</ent>'s employment by the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>
|
||
|
Department in the 1940s is another well-known incident. <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent>, head
|
||
|
of the <ent type='ORG'>Gestapo</ent> in <ent type='PERSON'>Lyons</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>France</ent>, was known as the "<ent type='PERSON'>Butcher</ent> of <ent type='PERSON'>Lyons</ent>"
|
||
|
and was sought by the <ent type='NORP'>French</ent> Government for atrocities committed
|
||
|
against <ent type='NORP'>French</ent> Resistance fighters captured by the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> was
|
||
|
recruited as a U.S. intelligence "asset" in 1947 by one branch of
|
||
|
the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department's Counter-intelligence Corps (<ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent>), while
|
||
|
another branch, <ent type='ORG'>the Operation Selection Board</ent>, a joint U.S./<ent type='NORP'>British</ent>
|
||
|
project, was trying to put him in prison for war crimes. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> Eventually, according to <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent>, "<ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent>'s employment
|
||
|
(and protection) by the <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> began to reach <ent type='NORP'>French</ent> newspapers
|
||
|
and politicians at least as early as 1948. They, in turn brought
|
||
|
increasing pressure on the U.S. government through publicity and
|
||
|
eventually through official notes requesting <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent>'s extradition
|
||
|
from <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. That, in the final analysis, is why the <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent> chose to
|
||
|
provide <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> with a new identity and safe passage to <ent type='GPE'>Argentina</ent> in
|
||
|
1951, while thousands of other ex-<ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> who had been 'of interest'
|
||
|
to the <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent> at one time or another have simply lived out their lives
|
||
|
in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>. If the <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent> had dumped <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> when the <ent type='NORP'>French</ent> government
|
||
|
began requesting his extradition, he would have had plenty of
|
||
|
compromising things to say about the <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent>. . ." (25) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> But when <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> was eventually captured by <ent type='NORP'>Bolivian</ent> authorities in
|
||
|
the early 1980s, and returned to <ent type='GPE'>France</ent> to face charges of war
|
||
|
crimes, the U.S. government was forced to conduct an investigation
|
||
|
into the <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> affair. The official position? ". . . [T]his
|
||
|
investigation concluded that <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> had indeed protected
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> in <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent> and engineered his escape but that <ent type='PERSON'>Barbie</ent> was the
|
||
|
only such <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> who had been assisted in this fashion." (26) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> As documented previously, this statement was false. Hundreds,
|
||
|
perhaps thousands, of <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> were employed by the several U.S.
|
||
|
agencies, from the <ent type='ORG'>CIC</ent> to the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, and used in covert operations
|
||
|
overseas, as our first line of defense against Communism. Others,
|
||
|
equally as guilty of wartime atrocities, were brought into the
|
||
|
United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s for domestic political purposes. This aspect of the
|
||
|
U.S.-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> connection is well-documented, and deserves closer
|
||
|
attention by the mainstream press. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> One of the first researchers to reveal the connections between the
|
||
|
U.S. government and the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>, was a lady named <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Mae</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent></ent> of
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Carmel</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>California</ent>. Her career as a conspiracy researcher and host
|
||
|
of the weekly radio program "<ent type='ORG'>World Watchers International</ent>" began
|
||
|
with the <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent> assassination. "In ferreting out every morsel from
|
||
|
the <ent type='PERSON'>Warren</ent> Report," writes <ent type='PERSON'>Jonathan Vankin</ent>, author of the book
|
||
|
"Conspiracies, Cover-ups and Crimes," "supplementing her research
|
||
|
with untold amounts of reading from the '<ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> Times' to 'Soldier
|
||
|
of Fortune,' <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent> discovered not merely a conspiracy of a few
|
||
|
renegade <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agents, <ent type='ORG'>Mafiosi</ent>, and <ent type='PERSON'>Castro</ent> haters behind <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent>'s
|
||
|
death, but a vast, invisible institutional structure layered into
|
||
|
the very fabric of the U.S. political system.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Comprising the government within a government were not just spies,
|
||
|
gangsters, and <ent type='NORP'>Cubans</ent>, but <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Mae</ent> found that many of the
|
||
|
commission witnesses -- whose testimony established <ent type='PERSON'>Oswald</ent> as a lone
|
||
|
nut' -- had never even spoken to <ent type='PERSON'>Oswald</ent>, or knew him only slightly.
|
||
|
The bulk of them were <ent type='ORG'>White</ent> <ent type='NORP'>Russian</ent> emigres living in <ent type='GPE'>Dallas</ent>.
|
||
|
Extreme in their anti-Communism, they were often affiliated with
|
||
|
groups set up by the SS in <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II -- <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>an ethnic
|
||
|
armies used by the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> to carry out their dirtiest work. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent> also discovered an episode from history rarely reported
|
||
|
in the media, and not often taught in universities. Those same
|
||
|
collaborationist groups were absorbed by United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s intelligence
|
||
|
agencies. They hooked up with the spy net of <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> General Reinhard
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Gehlen</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> Front espionage chief."</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "'This is a story of how key <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> . . . anticipated military
|
||
|
disaster and laid plans to transplant <ent type='NORP'>nazism</ent>, intact but disguised,
|
||
|
in havens in the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>,' wrote <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Mae</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent></ent> in 1983. She didn't
|
||
|
author too many articles, but this one, 'The <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> Connection to the
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> F. <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent> Assassination' (in 'The Rebel,' a short-lived
|
||
|
political magazine published by '<ent type='ORG'>Hustler</ent>' impresario <ent type='PERSON'>Larry Flynt</ent>),
|
||
|
was definitive, albeit convoluted. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "'It is a story that climaxes in <ent type='GPE'>Dallas</ent> on November 22, 1963, when
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Kennedy</ent> was struck down,' <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent>'s article continued. 'And it
|
||
|
is a story with an aftermath -- <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>'s slide to the brink of
|
||
|
Fascism.'" </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Mae</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent></ent> quit broadcasting her radio show in Spring of 1988,
|
||
|
after receiving a death threat from a "man who is said to have
|
||
|
identified himself as 'a fascist and proud of it.'" </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The last project she worked on, before her death from cancer on
|
||
|
October 3, 1988, writes the author, "was a study of Satanic cults --
|
||
|
within the U.S. military. The hidden fascist oligarchy had
|

progressed far beyond the need for patsies like <ent type='PERSON'>Oswald</ent>. They were

<p> "Satanic cults are the state of the art in brainwashing. With

drugs, sex, and violence, they strip any semblance of moral thought.

They are perfect for use in creating killers. The United <ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s

military, <ent type='ORG'>Brussell</ent> found, was using them." (27) </p>

|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> In this section we will explore the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> connections of Richard
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>. To do so we must return to the years just after the end of
|
||
|
<ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II and, of course, a man named <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The irony of <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s political career ending with a cover-up can
|
||
|
only be appreciated with the knowledge that this turbulent career
|
||
|
also began with one. <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent> state that: </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "According to several of our sources among the 'old spies,' Richard
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s political career began in 1945, when he was the <ent type='ORG'>navy</ent> officer
|
||
|
temporarily assigned to review . . . captured <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> documents." The
|
||
|
documents in question revealed <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent>time record of <ent type='PERSON'>Karl Blessing</ent>,
|
||
|
"former <ent type='PERSON'>Reich</ent>sbank officer and then head of the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> oil cartel,
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Kontinentale</ent> Ol A.G. '<ent type='PERSON'>Konti</ent>' was in partnership with <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s
|
||
|
principal <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> client, I.G. <ent type='ORG'>Farben</ent>. Both companies had despicable
|
||
|
records regarding their treatment of <ent type='NORP'>Jews</ent> during the <ent type='EVENT'>Holocaust</ent>.
|
||
|
After <ent type='ORG'>the war</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> not only 'lost' <ent type='PERSON'>Blessing</ent>s <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> party records,
|
||
|
but he helped peddle a false biography in the ever-gullible 'New
|
||
|
York Times.'" </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The authors' sources reveal that not only did <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> help cover up
|
||
|
his <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> client's record, he "personally vouched for <ent type='PERSON'>Blessing</ent> as an
|
||
|
anti-<ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> in order to protect continued control of <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> oil
|
||
|
interests in <ent type='LOC'>the Middle East</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Blessing</ent>'s <ent type='PERSON'>Konti</ent> was the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> link to
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Iben Saud</ent> [King of Saudi <ent type='NORP'>Arab</ent>ia] and <ent type='ORG'>Aramco</ent> [the <ent type='NORP'>Arab</ent>ian-<ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n
|
||
|
Oil Company]. If <ent type='PERSON'>Blessing</ent> went down, he could have taken a lot of
|
||
|
people with him, including <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>. The cover-up worked, except
|
||
|
that U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Naval Intelligence</ent> scrutinized a set of the captured <ent type='PERSON'>Konti</ent>
|
||
|
records." </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> According to the "old spies," <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> made a deal with the
|
||
|
young <ent type='ORG'>navy</ent> officer who was reviewing the <ent type='PERSON'>Konti</ent> files - Richard
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> would help <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> bury the <ent type='PERSON'>Konti</ent> files. In return,
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> "arranged to finance [<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s] first congressional
|
||
|
campaign against <ent type='PERSON'>Jerry</ent> Voorhis." (1) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s support for <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> paid off in 1947 when, as the freshman
|
||
|
congressman from <ent type='GPE'>California</ent>, he "saved <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>
|
||
|
considerable embarrassment by privately pointing out that
|
||
|
confidential government files showed that one of <ent type='ORG'>Foster</ent>'s foundation
|
||
|
employees, <ent type='PERSON'>Alger Hiss</ent>, was allegedly a <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent>. The <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>
|
||
|
brothers took <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> under their wing and escorted him on a tour of
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> 'freedom fighter' operations in <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>, apparently in
|
||
|
anticipation that the young congressman would be useful after <ent type='PERSON'>Dewey</ent>
|
||
|
became president." [He would be useful anyway, despite the fact that
|
||
|
incumbent President <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent> won reelection in 1948, defeating <ent type='PERSON'>Dewey</ent>.]
|
||
|
(2) </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> After <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent>'s victory, write the authors, "<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> became <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent>
|
||
|
<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s mouthpiece in <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>. Both he and Senator Joseph <ent type='PERSON'>McCarthy</ent>
|
||
|
received volumes of classified information to support the charge
|
||
|
that the <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent> administration was filled with 'pinkos.' When
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>McCarthy</ent> went too far in his <ent type='NORP'>Communist</ent> investigations, it was <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>
|
||
|
who worked with his next-door neighbor, <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> director <ent type='PERSON'>Bedell Smith</ent>,
|
||
|
to steer the investigations away from the intelligence community.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> was grateful for <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s assistance, but did not know the
|
||
|
reason for it. <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> had been recruiting <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> under the cover of
|
||
|
the <ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department's Office of Policy Coordination, whose chief,
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Frank Wisner</ent>, had systematically recruited the <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>an
|
||
|
emigre networks that had worked first for the SS, then the <ent type='NORP'>British</ent>,
|
||
|
and finally <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>. </p>
|

|
|

advantage. The <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>' job quickly became to get out the vote for the

<ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s. One <ent type='NORP'>Israeli</ent> intelligence officer joked that when <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>

used the phrase 'Never Again,' he was not talking about the

recruited the 'displaced <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>s' who arrived in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>
|

after <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II. Like similar migrant organizations in several

by the SS as political and police leaders during the <ent type='EVENT'>Holocaust</ent>.
|

|
These <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> emigres supported the <ent type='PERSON'>Eisenhower</ent>-<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> 'liberation'
|

policy as the quickest means of getting back into power in their

former homelands and made a significant contribution 'in its first

<p> The authors point out that "over the years the <ent type='NORP'>Democrats</ent> had

political organization went to the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent>s. In fact, from the

very beginning, the word had been put around among <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent> <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>an

<ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> that <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> were the men to see, especially if you

|

|

<p> This relationship between <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Nixon</ent> and the <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent> developed

because both he and <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> "blamed Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Dewey</ent>'s razor-thin

|
When [<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>] became <ent type='PERSON'>Eisenhower</ent>'s vice president in 1952, <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> was

determined to build his own ethnic base.</p>

language-speaking <ent type='NORP'>Croat</ent>ian and other <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> emigre groups had a

ready-made network for contacting and mobilizing the <ent type='ORG'>Eastern</ent>

domestic subsidies to <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> 'freedom fighters' during the 1950s
|

|
and the leadership of the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> party's ethnic campaign groups.
|

The motive for under-the-table financing was clear: <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> used <ent type='NORP'>Nazis</ent>
|

to offset the <ent type='NORP'>Jewish</ent> vote for the <ent type='NORP'>Democrats</ent>. </p>

started in the 1920s, through <ent type='ORG'>the Union Banking Corporation</ent>, which

<ent type='PERSON'>Walker</ent> made <ent type='PERSON'>Prescott</ent> vice president of W. A. <ent type='PERSON'>Harriman</ent>. The problem

As <ent type='ORG'>Thyssen</ent> and the other <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> industrialists consolidated <ent type='PERSON'>Hitler</ent>'s

<p> "Instead of divesting the <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> money," continue the authors, "<ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>

hired a lawyer to hide the assets. The lawyer he hired had

considerable expertise in such underhanded schemes. It was <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent>

<ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>. According to <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s client list at <ent type='PERSON'>Sullivan</ent> & <ent type='ORG'>Cromwell</ent>,

his first relationship with <ent type='ORG'>Brown Brothers</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Harriman</ent> was on June 18,

1936. In January 1937 <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> listed his work for the firm as

'Disposal of Stan [<ent type='ORG'>Standard Oil</ent>] Investing stock.' </p>

his plans to enter <ent type='ORG'>Yale</ent> and enlisted in the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>Army</ent>. It was, say

our sources among the former intelligence officers, a valiant

attempt by an eighteen-year-old boy to save the family's honor. </p>

<p> "Young <ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> was in flight school in October 1942, when the U.S.

government charged his father with running <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> front groups in the

Banking, of course, was an affiliate of <ent type='ORG'>Brown Brothers</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Harriman</ent>,

<p> "Once the government had its hands on <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s books, the whole story

away from <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s crooked corporate network, which his grandfather

and <ent type='GPE'>Britain</ent>." </p>
|

|
<p> Just after the end of <ent type='EVENT'>World War</ent> II, "in April 1945 <ent type='PERSON'>Truman</ent> appointed

commercial advisor to <ent type='ORG'>the Potsdam Conference</ent>, 'where his chief task

was to renegotiate the reparations agreements formulated at <ent type='GPE'>Yalta</ent>.'

As one historian noted, the 'oil industry has always watched

reparations activities carefully.' There was a lot of money

involved, and much of it belonged to the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers' clients." </p>

|
||
|
<p> At the same time, report <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent>,</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers were still shifting <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> assets out of <ent type='LOC'>Europe</ent>
|
||
|
for their clients as well as for their own profit. They didn't want

|
the <ent type='NORP'>Soviets</ent> to get their hands on these assets or even know that
|

they existed. <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> played a significant role in solving this

|
problem for the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers. The major part of <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Germany</ent>'s
|
||
|
industrial assets was located in the zones occupied by the <ent type='ORG'>West</ent>'s
|
||

forces. As <ent type='GPE'>Washington</ent>'s man on the ground, <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> managed to deceive
|

the <ent type='NORP'>Soviets</ent> for long enough to allow <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> to spirit much of

<p> "<ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>, a key player in the plan to hide the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> brothers' <ent type='NORP'>Nazi</ent>

assets, then moved into another post where he could help them
|

|
further. After successfully keeping <ent type='NORP'>German</ent> assets in <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent> hands,
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> was given the job of 'surveying <ent type='GPE'>Japan</ent>'s assets and

determining the amount of its war debt.' Again, it was another job

that was crucial to the <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> clique's secret financial and

intelligence operations." (2)</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> After <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> retired from government work he went back to being an

|
independent oil man. <ent type='ORG'>Loftus</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Aarons</ent> state that: "In 1958 he
|
||
|
founded <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> Petroleum which: . . . teamed up with Howard <ent type='PERSON'>Hugh</ent>es
|
||
|
to expand oil production in <ent type='LOC'>the Gulf</ent> of <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> Petroleum discovered a highly productive offshore petroleum

|
reserve and in 1959 became involved in a dispute with the <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent>
|
||
|
Government, which considered the royalties from the wells to be too
|
||
|
low. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "According to our sources in the intelligence community, the oil
|
||
|
dispute was really a shakedown of the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> by <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> politicians.
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Hugh</ent>es and <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> were working for the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> from time to time, while
|
||
|
advancing their own financial interests in the lucrative <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> oil
|
||
|
fields. <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>, say several of our sources, was the man who invented
|
||
|
an intelligence money-laundering system in <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent>, which was later
|
||
|
refined in the 1970s as part of <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s <ent type='EVENT'>Watergate</ent> scandal. At one
|
||
|
point <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> agents used <ent type='ORG'>Pemex</ent>, the <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> government's oil monopoly,
|
||
|
as a business cover at the same time <ent type='ORG'>Pemex</ent> was being used as a money
|
||
|
laundry for <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>'s campaign contributions. As we shall see, the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> connection played an important part in the development
|
||
|
of <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent>'s political and intelligence career. . . .</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "<ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>, say the 'old spies,' was the man who brought all the
|
||
|
threads of the <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> connection together. He was <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s business
|
||
|
associate, a front man for <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> [<ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> was <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>
|
||
|
director then], and originator of the use of <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> oil fronts to
|
||
|
create a slush fund for <ent type='PERSON'>Richard Nixon</ent>'s various campaigns. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "Although it is not widely known, <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>, in fact, had been a
|
||
|
committed, if 'secret,' <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> supporter since 1960. It should be
|
||
|
recalled that <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> tried to conceal his <ent type='NORP'>Mexican</ent> slush fund during
|
||
|
the <ent type='EVENT'>Watergate</ent> affair by pressuring the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> into a 'national
|
||
|
security' cover-up. The <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, to its credit, declined to participate.
|
||
|
Unfortunately, others were so enmeshed in <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent>'s work for <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>
|
||
|
that they could never extricate themselves. According to a number of
|
||
|
our intelligence sources, the deals <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> cut with <ent type='PERSON'>Pauley</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent>
|
||
|
catapulted him into political life. In 1960 <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> became a protege of
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Richard Nixon</ent>, who was then running for president of the United
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent>s. . . . </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "The most intriguing of <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s early connections was to Richard
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>, who as vice president had supervised <ent type='PERSON'>Allen</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s covert
|
||
|
planning for the <ent type='LOC'>Bay of Pigs</ent> [invasion]. For years it has been
|
||
|
rumored that <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent>'s client, <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent>'s father, was one of the
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> leaders who recruited <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> to run for <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent> and later
|
||
|
convinced <ent type='PERSON'>Eisenhower</ent> to take him on as vice president. There is no
|
||
|
doubt that the two families were close. <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent> described <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>
|
||
|
as his 'mentor.' <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> was a <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> supporter in his very first tilt
|
||
|
at politics, during his unsuccessful run for <ent type='ORG'>the Senate</ent> in 1964, and
|
||
|
turned out again when he entered the <ent type='ORG'>House</ent> two years later. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "After <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s landslide victory in 1972, he ordered a general
|
||
|
house cleaning on the basis of loyalty. 'Eliminate everyone,' he
|
||
|
told <ent type='PERSON'>John</ent> Ehrlichman about reappointments, 'except <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent>. <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>
|
||
|
will do anything for our cause.' . . . According to <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s account,
|
||
|
the president told him that 'the place I really need you is over at
|
||
|
the <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Committee running things.' So, in 1972, <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent> appointed
|
||
|
<ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>George</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent></ent> as head of the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al Committee. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> "It was <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> who fulfilled <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s promise to make the 'ethnic'
|
||
|
emigres a permanent part of <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> politics. In 1972 <ent type='PERSON'>Nixon</ent>'s
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>State</ent> Department spokesman confirmed to his <ent type='NORP'>Australian</ent> counterpart
|
||
|
that the ethnic groups were very useful to get out the vote in

|
several key states. <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s tenure as head of the <ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> <ent type='ORG'>Nation</ent>al
|

|
Committee exactly coincided with <ent type='PERSON'>Laszlo Pasztor</ent>'s 1972 drive to

|
transform <ent type='ORG'>the Heritage Groups Council</ent> into the party's official
|
||
|
ethnic arm. The groups <ent type='ORG'>Pasztor</ent> chose as <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s campaign allies were

the emigre <ent type='NORP'>Fascist</ent>s whom <ent type='GPE'>Dulles</ent> had brought to <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>. .

<p> CONCLUSION </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> If, before you finished reading this publication, you ever wondered
|
||
|
why the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent> refuses to consider the medicinal
|
||
|
and industrial value of cannabis hemp, despite widespread and
|
||
|
growing support from the public, medical experts, industry leaders,
|
||
|
and a growing number of state legislators across this nation . . .
|
||
|
you now have the answer. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> For the past several generations, <ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> have been
|
||
|
systematically deceived about the true nature of cannabis hemp. Many
|
||
|
<ent type='NORP'>Americans</ent> have died - victims of political murders. Millions have
|
||
|
been imprisoned, their children and their property taken away, their
|
||
|
futures destroyed. The history of my own state - <ent type='GPE'>Kentucky</ent> - and
|
||
|
others as well, have been "sanitized," rewritten, our heritage
|
||
|
deleted, our citizens defrauded and impoverished to bury the truth. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> And if, before you finished reading this publication, you ever
|
||
|
wondered why the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent> would train and finance
|
||
|
<ent type='ORG'>Central</ent> <ent type='GPE'>America</ent>n death squads; or why, while waging the so-called
|
||
|
"war on drugs," the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent> would operate cocaine
|
||
|
and heroin smuggling operations around the world, bringing in tons
|
||
|
of drugs to places like <ent type='ORG'>Mena</ent>, <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>; or why the U.S. federal
|
||
|
government would "spread democracy" throughout the world by
|
||
|
assassinating democratically elected politicians - both at home and
|
||
|
abroad - replacing them with right-wing dictators and training their
|
||
|
secret police in the latest techniques of torture, terrorism, and
|
||
|
mind control; or why the U.S. <ent type='ORG'>federal government</ent> would conduct
|
||
|
deadly medical and radiation experiments on unsuspecting citizens -
|
||
|
including pregnant women, the mentally impaired, and children . . .
|
||
|
you now have the answer. </p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p> The last question is "what are we going to do about it?" </p>
