1. Nada Man­age­ment and Al-Taqwa are an impor­tant ele­ment in under­stand­ing the role of what may be called “the Under­ground Reich” and its appar­ent role sur­round­ing the events of 9/11/2001. This broad­cast fur­ther devel­ops this connection.

2. 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 Philip 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, 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; Autono­me­dia; Copy­right 1999 [SC]; ISBN 1–57027-039–2; p. 585.)

8. Wealthy Saudis have been a pri­mary source of cap­i­tal for the Al-Taqwa orga­ni­za­tion (later reor­ga­nized as Nada Man­age­ment, part of the Al-Taqwa Group). In an inter­view with Richard Labeviere, author of Dol­lars for Ter­ror, Huber stressed the impor­tance of the feu­dal nature of the Saudi state in pre­serv­ing the secrecy of Al-Taqwa’s bene­fac­tors. (“Rich Saudis Said to Back Bank Linked to Bin Laden”; The Boston Her­ald; by Jonathan Wells; 11/8/2001.)

9. Youssef Nada denies the charge by the U.S. gov­ern­ment that his orga­ni­za­tion is involved with Bin Laden’s ter­ror­ists. A num­ber of facts lend cred­i­bil­ity to the charges, includ­ing the fact that the Bin Ladens are among the wealthy Saudi con­trib­u­tors to Al-Taqwa appar­ently referred to by Huber. Six mem­bers of the Bin Laden fam­ily are among the orig­i­nal con­trib­u­tors to the Nas­sau, Bahamas branch of Al-Taqwa, founded in the late 1980’s. (“The Scat­tered Case against an Alleged Ter­ror Accom­plice”; Roger Thurow; Wall Street Jour­nal; 12/27/2001; p. A6.)

10. Much of the broad­cast con­sists of dis­cus­sion and analy­sis of a recent Swiss arti­cle detail­ing some of the diverse and pow­er­ful ele­ments involved with the Bin Laden ter­ror­ist milieu. (“Im Wun­der­land des Has­ses”; by Johannes von Dohnanyi; Welt­woche; Aus­gabe 01/2002.)

11. Of par­tic­u­lar sig­nif­i­cance in the analy­sis of the Al Queda milieu is the pres­ence at its core of mem­bers of the Bin Mah­fouz fam­ily, (like the Bin Ladens) one of the most pow­er­ful fam­i­lies of Saudi Ara­bia. (Idem.)

12. Like the Bin Laden fam­ily, the Bin Mah­fouz fam­ily was rep­re­sented in North Amer­ica by James R. Bath, an orig­i­nal investor in Arbusto Energy, George W. Bush’s first energy com­pany. (The Mafia, CIA & George Bush; by Pete Brew­ton; SPI Books; Copy­right 1992 [HC]; ISBN 1–56171-203–5; p. 221–222.)

13. Closely con­nected to the BCCI, Khalid Bin Mah­fouz is allegedly mar­ried to Osama Bin Laden’s sis­ter. [This has been dis­puted by Bin Mahfouz’s lawyers.] (“Im Wun­der­land des Has­ses”; by Johannes von Dohnanyi; Welt­woche; Aus­gabe 01/2002.)

14. The Bin Mah­fouz and Bin Laden fam­i­lies have a num­ber of busi­ness oper­a­tions together, includ­ing the Cam­bridge (Mass­a­chu­setts) based Hybri­don firm. (Idem.)

15. The Welt­woche arti­cle high­lights alleged con­nec­tions between Bin Laden’s ter­ror­ist milieu and Somali bank­ing inter­ests and the Kosovo Lib­er­a­tion Army. (Idem.)

16. Fur­ther devel­op­ing links between Al Queda and the Chechen rebels, the broad­cast sets forth the activ­i­ties of Sak­ina Secu­rity Ser­vices, an appar­ent Al Queda front with an alleged train­ing base in the United States. (Idem.) (FTRs 329, 341 dis­cuss Al Queda and Wah­habi activ­i­ties in Chech­nya, as well as the pos­si­bil­ity that intel­li­gence ele­ments asso­ci­ated with the Under­ground Reich and the petro­leum indus­try may be involved with the guerillas.)

17. The Sak­ina train­ers were described as hav­ing back­grounds with “the SAS and the U.S. Marines.” (Idem.)

18. Of pri­mary sig­nif­i­cance in the dis­cus­sion of Weltwoche’s analy­sis is a series of inter­lock­ing con­nec­tions between pow­er­ful Saudi finan­cial and phil­an­thropic orga­ni­za­tions and Bin Laden’s ter­ror­ist activ­i­ties. (Idem.)

19. These orga­ni­za­tions are, in turn, allegedly con­nected to Al-Taqwa. (Idem.)

20. These insti­tu­tions include: the Faisal Islamic Bank, Islamic Invest­ment Com­pany of the Gulf, the Dar al Maal Al Islami and the Inter­na­tional Islamic Relief Orga­ni­za­tion (the pri­mary Saudi vehi­cle for the prop­a­ga­tion of the Wah­habi brand of fun­da­men­tal­ism.) (Idem.)

21. The lat­ter resides at the same address as the Bin Mahfouz-owned Inter­na­tional Devel­op­ment Foun­da­tion, and it has allegedly received money from Al-Taqwa. (Idem.)

22. Next, the broad­cast reviews many of the Bush family/Bin Laden fam­ily busi­ness con­nec­tions, such as the Car­lyle Group. (Idem.)

23. The Welt­woche arti­cle makes the impor­tant state­ment that the con­nec­tions of Islamic ter­ror­ism to pow­er­ful cen­ters of finan­cial and indus­trial power in the West and Saudi Ara­bia must be inter­dicted if the men­ace is to be suc­cess­fully dealt with. (Idem.)

24. Next, the pro­gram sets forth the con­nec­tions between Youssef Nada, Saudi Prince Alwaleed (one of the world’s rich­est men) and Ital­ian Pre­mier Sil­vio Berlus­coni. Alwaleed is involved with Medi­aset, one of Berlusconi’s many media com­pa­nies. (“The Alms of Mon­sieur Youss­eff Nada” by Peter Gomez and Leo Sisti; L’Espresso; 11/22/2001; p. 48.) Once again, the con­nec­tions between the power cen­ters of the petro­leum indus­try and fas­cist ele­ments in the West is cen­tral to an under­stand­ing of the events in, and around, the 9/11/2001 attacks. (A mem­ber of the fas­cist P-2 Lodge, Berlusconi’s gov­ern­ment includes the fas­cist National Alliance and the xeno­pho­bic North­ern League.)

25. Next, the pro­gram reviews sus­pi­cions that the Al-Taqwa firm (Nada Man­age­ment) was asso­ci­ated with stock mar­ket manip­u­la­tion. (“Stock Trades Probed for Ties to Bin Laden” by William Droz­diak; Wash­ing­ton Post; 9/18/2001; p. A08.)

26. 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.

27. One of the pri­mary ele­ments of the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion is the Thyssen-Bornemisza orga­ni­za­tion, head­quar­tered in Lugano, Switzer­land (the base for Youssef Nada’s oper­a­tions.) (Mar­tin Bor­mann: Nazi in Exile; Paul Man­ning; Copy­right 1981 [HC]; Lyle Stu­art Inc.; ISBN 0–8184-0309–8; P. 237.) It can be spec­u­lated that the Nada/Al-Taqwa orga­ni­za­tion may very well be part of the Bor­mann organization.

28. The pro­gram con­cludes with a look at the responses of two con­tem­po­rary Nazi orga­ni­za­tions to the ter­ror attacks. Ahmed Huber is, as we have seen, asso­ci­ated with the NPD. Horst Mahler, a key mem­ber of the NPD, arguably Germany’s top neo-Nazi group, applauded the attacks of 9/11. (“Ger­man Right-Winger Applauds Ter­ror­ists” by Toby Helm; Daily Tele­graph; 9/25/2001.)

29. The NPD is closely asso­ci­ated, in turn, with the National Alliance. (“Far Right Vio­lence Soars in Ger­many” by Mar­tin A. Lee; San Fran­cisco Bay Guardian; 3/19/2001.) The National Alliance is the pub­lisher of Serpent’s Walk, the “Turner Diaries” of the Bor­mann organization.

30. The National Alliance has also endorsed the 9/11 attacks. (“U.S. Groups Have Some Ties to Germ War­fare” by Jo Thomas; New York Times; 11/2/2001; p. B8.)

31. The last item in the pro­gram is an analy­sis of Islamic fun­da­men­tal­ism as a form of “Islam­o­fas­cism.” ” . . .Our soci­eties are in cri­sis. They’re illit­er­ate, impov­er­ished, job­less. That makes it easy for reli­gious lead­ers to exploit peo­ple at the bot­tom. It enables fas­cism to come out of the closet. What we’re see­ing here is that fas­cism wears reli­gious cloaks.” (“For Mus­lims, Bin Laden’s Star Is Fad­ing as Quickly as It Rose”; by David Lamb; Los Ange­les Times; 12/31/2001; p. A7.)
