REALAUDIO

1. Sup­ple­ment­ing the dis­cus­sion and analy­sis from ear­lier broad­casts on the sub­ject of the ter­ror­ist blitzkrieg of 9/11, this pro­gram derives its title from the Nazi tract Serpent’s Walk. Mr. Emory believes that, like The Turner Diaries (also pub­lished by National Van­guard Books), the book is actu­ally a blue­print for what is going to take place. It is a novel about a Nazi takeover of the United States in the mid­dle of the 21st cen­tury. The book describes the Third Reich going under­ground, buy­ing into the Amer­i­can media, and tak­ing over the coun­try.  “It assumes that Hitler’s war­rior elite — the SS — didn’t give up their strug­gle for a White world when they lost the Sec­ond World War. Instead their sur­vivors went under­ground and adopted some of their tac­tics of their ene­mies: they began build­ing their eco­nomic mus­cle and buy­ing into the opinion-forming media. A cen­tury after the war they are ready to chal­lenge the democ­rats and Jews for the hearts and minds of White Amer­i­cans, who have begun to have their fill of government-enforced multi-culturalism and ‘equal­ity.’” (From the back cover of Serpent’s Walk by “Ran­dolph D. Calver­hall;” Copy­right 1991 [SC]; National Van­guard Books; 0–937944-05-X.)

2. In the book, the Nazi takeover takes place after a bioter­ror attack on the United States that kills much of the Amer­i­can pop­u­la­tion.  FTR#335 exam­ines links between the 9/11 inci­dent and what Mr. Emory calls “the Under­ground Reich.”  Begin­ning with dis­cus­sion of a fel­low trav­eler of the Ger­man neo-Nazi NPD, the broad­cast high­lights the con­nec­tions between Ahmed Huber and the milieu of Osama Bin Laden.  (“Far Right Has Ties with Islamic Extreme” by Hugh Williamson and Philipp Jak­lin; Finan­cial Times; 11/9/2001; p. 4.)

3. Huber has met mem­bers of Bin Laden’s orga­ni­za­tion, but denies that the Al Taqwa man­age­ment group and the related Nada Man­age­ment firms were involved with fund­ing Bin Laden’s orga­ni­za­tion.  (Idem.)

4. Like Horst Mahler (dis­cussed in FTR#333), Huber is an asso­ciate of the NPD, as well as Islamic extrem­ists.  (Idem.)

5. A doc­tri­naire anti-Semite and Holo­caust denier, Huber was closely asso­ci­ated with a Nazi émigré milieu in Nasser’s Egypt dis­cussed in numer­ous past broad­casts.  (“Les Amis de Fau­ris­son: Ahmed Rami” by Gilles Karmasyn.)

6. In par­tic­u­lar, Huber was asso­ci­ated in Egypt with Johann Von Leers, a Goebbels assis­tant for anti-Semitic pro­pa­ganda.  (Idem.)

7. In Egypt, Von Leers ran an anti-Semitic pro­pa­ganda insti­tute for Nasser, and became asso­ci­ated with a milieu that included the noto­ri­ous Swiss Nazi Fran­cois Genoud and the Grand Mufti. (Dreamer of the Day: Fran­cis Parker Yockey and the Post­war Fas­cist Inter­na­tional; by Kevin Coogan; Copy­right 1999 [SC]; ISBN 1–57027-039–2; p. 585.)

8. Youss­eff  Nada, the head of Nada man­age­ment sat on the board of a pres­ti­gious geo-political think tank that included Henry Kissinger and Mikail Gor­bachev.  (“Bin Laden Trail Extends to Swiss Out­fit” by Yaroslav Trofi­mov; Wall Street Jour­nal; 9/21/2001; p. A19.)

9. Next, the pro­gram high­lights sus­pi­cions that the Al Taqwa firm (Nada Man­age­ment) was asso­ci­ated with the stock mar­ket manip­u­la­tion dis­cussed in FTR#‘s 327 and 331.  (“Stock Trades Probed for Ties to Bin Laden” by William Droz­diak; Wash­ing­ton Post; 9/18/2001; p. A08.)

10. Among the com­pa­nies whose stocks were involved in the “short sell­ing” are Swiss Rein­sur­ance and Munich Rein­sur­ance.  (Idem.)  Both com­pa­nies have lia­bil­ity in the World Trade Cen­ter bomb­ing.  (See below.)

11. Allianz was another insur­ance com­pany whose stock was (accord­ing to some) sus­pi­ciously traded prior to the 9/11 attacks.  (“Pos­si­bly Sus­pi­cious Trad­ing Alerts U.S., Ger­man Offi­cials” by Floyd Nor­ris and Edmund L. Andrews [New York Times]; San Jose Mer­cury News; 9/17/2001; p. 4C.)

12. The bal­ance of the first of the broad­cast deals with the issue of pos­si­ble Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion eco­nomic con­trol of the World Trade Center.

13. The WTC was leased by Larry A. Sil­ver­stein just before the attacks.  (“Insurer Sues to Limit its Pay­out for World Trade Cen­ter” by Stephen Laba­ton; New York Times; 10/23/2001; p. B5.)

14. In order to limit its lia­bil­ity, Swiss Re is suing Sil­ver­stein.  (Idem.)

15. Inter­est­ingly (and per­haps sig­nif­i­cantly), “there was no insur­ance pol­icy yet issued on the prop­er­ties when they were destroyed.”  (Idem.)

16. The pro­gram reviews infor­ma­tion pre­sented in FTR#305 con­cern­ing the Bor­mann organization’s use of Jew­ish busi­ness­men in its oper­a­tions. (Mar­tin Bor­mann: Nazi in Exile; Paul Man­ning; Copy­right 1981 [HC]; Lyle Stu­art Inc.; ISBN 0–8184-0309–8; P. 227.)

17. As noted in The New York Times, Mr. Sil­ver­stein “has the lest to lose finan­cially and the most to gain.”  (“Twin Tow­ers at the Cen­ter of Legal Brawl” by Stephen Laba­ton and Jonathan D. Glater; New York Times; 11/3/2001; p. C1.)

18. Sil­ver­stein was the ben­e­fi­ciary of the lob­by­ing efforts of Jack Quinn, who had lob­bied Pres­i­dent Clin­ton on behalf of Marc Rich. (Idem.)

19. The three insur­ance com­pa­nies whose stock was “sold short” prior to the 9/11 attacks-Swiss Re, Munich Re and Allianz-face an enor­mous pay­off to Sil­ver­stein. (Idem.)

20. Sil­ver­stein was largely cap­i­tal­ized by a Gen­eral Motors sub­sidiary and UBS War­burg. (Idem.)

21. Both GM and UBS War­burg (for­merly Union Bank of Switzer­land) have strong con­nec­tions to The Bor­mann group.  The Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion has sig­nif­i­cant cap­i­tal par­tic­i­pa­tion in GM, through the Her­mann Schmitz Trust.  (Mar­tin Bor­mann: Nazi in Exile; Paul Man­ning; p. 280.)

22. The pro­gram under­scores the pro­found con­nec­tions of UBS to the Nazi I.G. Far­ben chem­i­cal car­tel and, through the I.G. and its suc­ces­sor com­pa­nies, to the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion.  (Ibid.; pp. 160–161.)

23. One of the three firms that grew out of IG after its breakup at the end of World War II, the Bayer firm saw its stock rise 33% as a result of the anthrax attacks in the United States.  (“Biotech­nol­ogy Stocks Are Gain­ing on Anthrax Scare” by Charles Piller; Los Ange­les Times; 10/18/2001; p. C1.)  (Bayer is the maker of Cipro, a drug that is used to treat anthrax.)  The prox­im­ity of ele­ments involved with the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion to the 9/11 attacks and related events, and the prof­its that may have accrued to that remark­able and deadly insti­tu­tion should not be over­looked.  In Serpent’s Walk, the Under­ground Reich infil­trates the US mil­i­tary prior to its takeover of the United States.

24. In that con­text, it is impor­tant to note that the anthrax strain uti­lized in the attacks appears to have come from the United States.  (“Deadly Spores Were Made in the U.S., FBI Says;” San Jose Mer­cury News; 11/7/2001; p. 5A.)

25. Dubbed “the Ames strain,” this par­tic­u­lar vari­ety of anthrax was heav­ily researched as a bio­log­i­cal war­fare weapon by the United States.  (“The Sci­en­tists Prob­ing Ter­ror Anthrax Trace Microbe’s Fam­ily Tree” by Anto­nio Regal­ado; Wall Street Jour­nal; 11/8/2001; pp. A1-A14.)

26. It should be noted that apartheid-era South Africa’s bio­log­i­cal war­fare pro­gram had stock­piled sev­eral dif­fer­ent anthrax strains.  (“Anthrax Bac­te­ria Likely To Be US Mil­i­tary Strain” by Deb­ora MacKen­zie; New Sci­en­tist; 10/24/2001.)  As dis­cussed in FTR#‘s 317 and 324, among those assist­ing the South African biowar­fare pro­gram was Dr. Larry Creed Ford, whose work for the apartheid gov­ern­ment was con­ducted in con­junc­tion with ele­ments of the CIA. (See also: FTR#225.)

27. With spec­u­la­tion grow­ing that domes­tic ter­ror­ists may have been behind the anthrax attacks, Ford (appar­ently in touch with right wing extrem­ist groups) is among those whose name has been dis­cussed.  (“U.S. Groups Have Some Ties to Germ War­fare” by Jo Thomas; New York Times; 11/2/2001; p. B8.)

28. It is note­wor­thy that South Africa is among the coun­tries in which the Bin Laden orga­ni­za­tion has been active.  (“South Africa Probes Trans­ac­tions by Al-Qaeda” by James Lam­ont and Nicol Degli Inno­centi; Finan­cial Times; 10/22/2001; p. 4.)

29. South African Islamic extrem­ists have played host to the above-mentioned Ahmed Huber.  (“Anti-Semitism World­wide 1997/98″ by the Stephen Roth Insti­tute of Tel Aviv University.)

30. The NPD (with which Huber is asso­ci­ated) is closely allied with the National Alliance (the pub­lisher of Serpent’s Walk.)  (“Far Right Vio­lence Soars in Ger­many” by Mar­tin A. Lee; San Fran­cisco Bay Guardian; 3/19/2001.)  The pro­gram points out the links between the Under­ground Reich, domes­tic ter­ror­ists, Islamic extrem­ists, ele­ments of the U.S. national secu­rity estab­lish­ment, as well as the apartheid regime of South Africa.  The pos­si­bil­ity that the anthrax attacks may have been per­pe­trated by one, sev­eral or all of the above ele­ments is not one to be too read­ily dismissed.

31. It may be impos­si­ble to deter­mine the ori­gin of the anthrax, since the Iowa State archive was destroyed on Octo­ber 10 or 11, after being held for decades.  (“FBI Mis­steps in Anthrax Probe Alleged” by William J. Broad, David John­ston, and Paul Ziel­bauer [New York Times]; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 11/9/2001; p. A7.)

32. The FBI sanc­tioned the destruc­tion.  (Idem.)
