The focal point of the broad­cast is the “trans-Atlantic Indus­trial and Finan­cial Axis” that has been instru­men­tal in devel­op­ing and sus­tain­ing fas­cism on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean through­out the course of the 20th Cen­tury. (For more infor­ma­tion about the cor­po­rate inter­ests com­pris­ing this “Axis,” see Tides of 20th Cen­tury Flow and Ger­man Cor­po­rate Acqui­si­tions in the United States and the var­i­ous pro­gram ref­er­ences set forth in the descrip­tions of these broad­casts. They are avail­able from Spit­fire.) Col­lat­ing infor­ma­tion pre­sented in pre­vi­ous pro­grams, Mr. Emory devel­ops con­nect­ing links between the Amer­i­can financ­ing of Ger­man indus­try prior to and after World War II with events such as the mur­der of Nicole Simp­son and the fram­ing of O.J., the killing of Den­ver talk show host Alan Berg by the Nazi group The Order, the (prob­a­bly) delib­er­ate cre­ation and dis­sem­i­na­tion of AIDS, as well as the pro­found influ­ence of Amer­i­can eugen­ics think­ing and leg­is­la­tion on the devel­op­ment of the Nazi racial laws. (For dis­cus­sion of the American-German eugen­ics con­nec­tion, see Archive Pro­grams such as Euthana­sia in Con­tem­po­rary Amer­ica & Nazi Ger­many and The Seeds of Nurem­berg: Fas­cism Grows Again From the Seeds of The Old Har­vest. They are avail­able from Spit­fire, as are var­i­ous 30-minute seg­ments about top­ics such as the O.J. Simp­son case, the obscure but sig­nif­i­cant Nazi tract Serpent’s Walk, the devel­op­ment of AIDS and the right-to-die movement.)
