This inter­view fur­ther devel­ops infor­ma­tion from Kevin’s ency­clo­pe­dic text, Dreamer of the Day: Fran­cis Parker Yockey and the Post War Fas­cist Inter­na­tional (Autono­me­dia; copy­right 1999 [SC]; ISBN 1–57027-039–2.) (For more on Kevin’s remark­able work, see also: Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Shows M-6, M-19, M-21, as well as FTR #’s 185, 188, 213, 221, 231, 233, 237, 260.)

1. Begin­ning with dis­cus­sion of Ger­man For­eign Min­is­ter Joschka Fischer’s alleged con­nec­tions with mem­bers of the Ger­man “left-wing” ter­ror­ist group known as the Baader-Meinhoff Gang, the pro­gram focuses on con­nec­tions between inter­na­tional fas­cism and left-wing, com­mu­nist and so-called “Third World” ele­ments. (For more on the Baader-Meinhoff group, see also: RFA-4 and Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Shows M-19, M-21.)

2. The pro­gram dis­cusses endorse­ment of the Baader-Meinhoff gang by Swiss-based Nazi oper­a­tive Fran­cois Genoud.

3. Third Reich finance min­is­ter Hjala­mar Schacht main­tained con­tacts with the People’s Repub­lic of China in the 1950’s, as well as Indone­sia and (to a lesser extent) Saudi Ara­bia. (For more on Schacht, see Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Show M-11, as well as FTR-85.)

4. Much of the early dis­cus­sion cen­ters on Haj Amin Al-Husseini, the self-styled Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. A Nazi oper­a­tive before, dur­ing and after the Sec­ond World War, Hus­seini was a key func­tionary at the Ban­dung (Indone­sia) con­fer­ence in 1954. (The term “Third World” was coined at that con­fer­ence.) Hus­seini was instru­men­tal in cement­ing links between the Third Reich, the post­war Fas­cist Inter­na­tional and Mid­dle East­ern nation­al­ist move­ments. (For more on Al-Husseini, see also: RFA-22, Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Shows M-19, M-21, M-58, and FTR #‘s 2, 44, 71, 147, 159, 161.)

5. One of the ele­ments of dis­cus­sion that may prove most illu­mi­nat­ing (and most shock­ing) to lis­ten­ers con­cerns the con­nec­tions between fas­cist ele­ments and Cuban Com­mu­nist Party dic­ta­tor Fidel Castro.

6. Although (in prin­ci­ple) anti-communist, some fas­cists saw Castro’s anti-Americanism as a poten­tially use­ful tool to weaken or destroy the United States and/or its influence.

7. One of the most fas­ci­nat­ing Castro/fascist con­nec­tions con­cerns SS-linked arms deal­ers sup­ply­ing both the forces of Cuban dic­ta­tor Ful­gen­cio Bat­tista and the guerilla forces of Fidel Cas­tro (who even­tu­ally over­threw Battista.)

8. High­light­ing the oper­a­tional ambiva­lence of post­war Third World ele­ments, the broad­cast dis­cusses pro-Soviet and pro-American ele­ments of the Brud­er­schaft, an orga­ni­za­tion of Wehrma­cht and SS offi­cers. Whereas some ele­ments of the Brud­er­schaft advo­cated an alliance with the Sovi­ets against the Amer­i­cans or (at the very least) a neu­tral Ger­many, oth­ers acceded to U.S. over­tures to join the NATO alliance.

9. One of the most bizarre points of dis­cus­sion con­cerns the National Ren­nais­sance Party, the first openly Nazi party in the United States after the close of World War II. The NRP’s ide­o­log­i­cal alliances ran the gamut from Fidel Cas­tro and Egypt­ian leader Gamel Abdel Nasser, to the U.S.S.R and the People’s Repub­lic of China. (The anti-American and, in some cases, anti-Semitic stance of these ele­ments was the point of affin­ity for the openly fas­cist NRP.) The NRP even had oper­a­tional con­tacts with African-American sep­a­ratist groups in the greater New York area.

10. Pro­gram High­lights Include: the con­nec­tions between Fran­cois Genoud and Car­los the Jackal; Schacht’s forg­ing of the Jid­dah agree­ment; Fran­cis Parker Yockey’s links to the Soviet Union; the Bruderschaft’s woo­ing of Third Reich Gen­eral Heinz Gud­er­ian; the Cas­tro links of Nazi agent H. Keith Thomp­son; Thompson’s role as an arms bro­ker between Cas­tro, Bat­tista and South American-based Nazi arms traf­fick­ers (see RFA-19); Yockey’s con­nec­tions to Cas­tro; the Grand Mufti’s con­nec­tions to the World Mus­lim Con­gress; the World Mus­lim Con­gress’ con­nec­tions to the for­mer World Anti-Communist League; the NRP’s links to Nazi agents H. Keith Thomp­son, Fred Weiss and Fran­cis Parker Yockey. (See also: RFA #’s 1–3, 10–15, and FTR #‘s 50, 87, 90, 99, 102, 120, 122, 123, 125, 127, 134, 145, 152, 155, 158, 177, 179, 180, 187, 189, 193, 194, 195, 215, 216, 218, 219, 224, 226, 232, 233.) Be sure to exam­ine the dis­cus­sions of 9/11 in con­nec­tion with many of these elements.
