The focus is the Machi­avel­lian impact of the Under­ground Reich’s pres­ence within both sides of bit­terly oppos­ing eth­nic and ide­o­log­i­cal strug­gles. In par­tic­u­lar, the pro­gram high­lights Under­ground Reich pres­ence on both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian con­flict and within the anti-globalization movement.

After review­ing some of the his­tory of Yasser Arafat’s asso­ci­a­tion with piv­otal Nazi oper­a­tives Haj Amin al-Husseini and Otto Sko­rzeny, the broad­cast high­lights the remark­able and deadly Bor­mann organization’s sup­port for Israel and its inclu­sion of Jew­ish busi­ness­men in its struc­ture. This gives the Under­ground Reich tremen­dous influ­ence within Israel proper. The pro­gram sets forth the his­tory of fas­cist ele­ments within the Zion­ist move­ment. After briefly chron­i­cling the piv­otal role of the Holo­caust in the birth of Israel and the Arab nations’ expul­sion of Jews and the appro­pri­a­tion of their prop­erty fol­low­ing the Israeli war of inde­pen­dence, the broad­cast sum­ma­rizes the fascist/Zionist con­nec­tion. It is impor­tant to note that this is in no way intended to imply that Zion­ism is fas­cist, any more than Islam is fas­cist. There are impor­tant fas­cist ele­ments within both. Israel’s polit­i­cal health and demo­c­ra­tic tra­di­tions are far in advance of those in the Arab and Mus­lim worlds.

A fel­low trav­eler of Mus­solini, Vladimir Jabotin­sky headed up the Betar in the 1930s. The two best-known grad­u­ates of the fas­cist Betar were for­mer Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Menaghem Begin and the late Meir Kahane. Jabotinsky’s per­sonal sec­re­tary (and a pall­bearer at his funeral) was Ben­zion Netanyahu, the father and polit­i­cal men­tor of for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Netanyahu. Another of the fas­cist ele­ments within the Zion­ist move­ment was the Stern Gang, which advo­cated a mil­i­tary alliance between Nazi Ger­many and the Zion­ist move­ment in order to drive the British from Palestine-the most famous grad­u­ate of the Stern Gang was Yitzhak Shamir, another Israeli Prime Min­is­ter. Feivel Polkes (a Pol­ish Jew and a mem­ber of the Hagan­nah) worked with Otto Von Bolschwing, Adolph Eichmann’s supe­rior and a key mem­ber of the Dulles/Gehlen axis.

The pres­ence of the Under­ground Reich in the Israeli right-wing is worth con­tem­plat­ing in the con­text of the Repub­li­can Party’s active court­ing of the Israeli right dur­ing Clinton’s admin­is­tra­tion. Actively sub­vert­ing Clinton’s efforts at bro­ker­ing a Mid­dle East peace accord, the Repub­li­cans attempted to have the US embassy moved to Jerusalem (from Tel Aviv.) This was against the advice of the late Yitzhak Rabin and was vetoed by Bill Clinton.

Next, the pro­gram reviews the prob­a­ble sub­ver­sion of the Camp David peace talks by the Repub­li­cans in July of 2000. Key mem­bers of the PLO nego­ti­at­ing team at Camp David were pro­teges of the anti-Semitic James Baker, the elder George Bush’s Sec­re­tary of State. Baker brought key Pales­tin­ian “mod­er­ates” to the United States, where they were coached in the lat­est PR tech­niques by the CIA. Termed “Baker’s Dozen” by the Agency, they have become the dar­lings of the so-called “pro­gres­sive sec­tor.” In con­junc­tion with the fail­ure of the peace talks, one should bear in mind the fact that the PLO is bankrolled pri­mar­ily by Saudi Ara­bia and the Saudis are deeply involved with the Bush/Republican milieu.

The fail­ure of the peace talks assured that Al Gore would not be able to ride the crest of a suc­cess­ful Mid­dle East peace process to vic­tory in the 2000 elec­tions. It also doomed the for­tunes of Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Ehud Barak, weak­ened the Labor Party and boosted the Likud Party into a posi­tion of pri­macy. Inter­est­ingly, the Likud Party sent a rep­re­sen­ta­tive to the national con­fer­ence of the Allianza Nationale in Italy (the suc­ces­sor party to Mussolini’s fascisti.) It is Mr. Emory’s view that Israel is the “Final Solu­tion” to the “Jew­ish Prob­lem.” In effect, it is a con­cen­tra­tion camp in which much of the world’s Jew­ish pop­u­la­tion has been “con­cen­trated” by design-it will even­tu­ally become a death camp (such as Auschwitz) if the Under­ground Reich gets its way.

The con­clud­ing por­tion of the broad­cast exam­ines the man­ner in which ele­ments of the Under­ground Reich have fused anti-imperialist rhetoric with fas­cist ide­ol­ogy. Cast­ing the Israeli/Palestinian con­flict in terms of “Zion­ist impe­ri­al­ism,” they have co-opted the rhetoric of the anti-globalization move­ment and, to a cer­tain extent, infil­trated it.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Goebbels aide Johann Von Leers’ cel­e­bra­tion of the Nazi/Arab nationalist/Islamist alliance as the anti­dote to “West­ern Impe­ri­al­ism;” Hun­gar­ian fas­cist Ist­van Csurka’s cel­e­bra­tion of the 9/11 attacks; Ger­man neo-Nazi Horst Mahler’s endorse­ment of the attacks; Mahler’s appar­ently recent asso­ci­a­tion with the pre­vi­ously anar­chist anti-fascist “Black Bloc;” the Black Bloc’s pres­ence at both the anti-globalization demon­stra­tions in Genoa in 2001 and the recent anti-war march in San Fran­cisco; the pres­ence of Allianza Nationale chief Gian­franco Fini at Genoa in 2001.

1. The broad­cast reviews the con­cept of the “vir­tual state.” It is the bor­der­less, under­ground nature of the “vir­tual state” that is the Under­ground Reich that makes it so deadly, and so elu­sive. “Uni­ver­sity of Texas law pro­fes­sor Philip Bob­bitt spent 10 years work­ing on a book pub­lished this year that is prov­ing eerily pre­scient. The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of His­tory is a daunt­ing 919 pages about the trans­for­ma­tion of war. It’s filled with polit­i­cal the­ory. It’s laced with por­traits of key diplo­matic fig­ures. It’s pages upon pages that dis­cuss the dif­fer­ences between what he terms the nation state, and the mar­ket state and the emer­gence of the vir­tual state (rep­re­sented by Al Qaeda as an enemy orga­ni­za­tion with­out a defin­able loca­tion.)” (“UT Pro­fes­sor Has Fin­ger on Pulse of War­fare” by Sharon Jayson; Austin American-Statesman; 12/2/2002; p. B1. [PDF])

2. Briefly illus­trat­ing the pres­ence of the Under­ground Reich within the milieu of the PLO, the pro­gram reviews the asso­ci­a­tion of PLO chair­man Yasser Arafat with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. An SS offi­cer and piv­otal Third Reich oper­a­tive, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (Haj Amin Al-Husseini) is described by author Mar­tin A. Lee. “Among those who gath­ered at the Mufti’s home dur­ing the mid-1950’s was his dis­tant cousin, Yasser Arafat, then an engi­neer­ing stu­dent at the Uni­ver­sity of Cairo.” (The Beast Reawak­ens; Mar­tin A. Lee; Copy­right 1997 [HC]; Lit­tle, Brown & Co.; ISBN 0–316-51959–6; p. 128.) One should note that the “Gross­mufti” was the first leader of the Pales­tin­ian national move­ment. One should not fail to note that Arafat, the first Pales­tin­ian ter­ror­ist groups and SS Colonel (and ODESSA leader) Otto Sko­rzeny have strong his­tor­i­cal links.

3. Mar­tin Lee describes the Arafat/Skorzeny/terrorist links. “Sev­eral young Pales­tin­ian refugees, includ­ing Yasser Arafat, joined the Egypt­ian sol­diers who were learn­ing the ways and means of uncon­ven­tional war­fare. Although ini­tially the intended tar­get was the British, the future PLO chief real­ized that rig­or­ous com­mando exer­cises would help pre­pare the Pales­tin­ian mil­i­tants who were eager to renew the bat­tle for their lost home­land. A grate­ful Arafat rec­og­nized Skorzeny’s abun­dant skills in this area, and the two men struck up a rela­tion­ship that lasted for many years. Appar­ently the Pales­tin­ian leader was quite fond of the scar­faced pal­adin [Sko­rzeny]. ‘Arafat would have done any­thing for Otto!’ remarked [Otto’s widow] Ilse Sko­rzeny.’” (Ibid.; pp. 129–130.)

4. The Under­ground Reich’s pres­ence within the Islam­o­fas­cist milieu is exem­pli­fied by the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Dis­cussing the dias­pora of the Broth­er­hood fol­low­ing its expul­sion from Egypt, he dis­cussed the estab­lish­ment of Munich as a pri­mary base of oper­a­tions. Said Ramadan was very active against Israel dur­ing the War of Inde­pen­dence in 1948. ” ‘Why Munich, why Ger­many?’ I asked Rifaat Said. ‘Because there, one finds old com­plic­i­ties that go back to the late 1930’s, when the Mus­lim Broth­ers col­lab­o­rated with the agents of Nazi Ger­many. . .By soak­ing up the sav­ings of these Mus­lim work­ers, Yussef Nada, like Said Ramadan, took advan­tage of an extremely favor­able con­text and used it as a spring­board for the Mus­lim Broth­ers’ eco­nomic activ­i­ties.’” (Dol­lars for Ter­ror: The United States and Islam; by Richard Labeviere; Copy­right 2000 [SC]; Algora Pub­lish­ing; ISBN 1–892941-06–6; p. 153.)

5. Before dis­cussing the Bor­mann influ­ence within Israel, the pro­gram presents a syn­op­tic account of the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion. “With the war years far behind him, Mar­tin Bor­mann goes on and on, qui­etly mak­ing his­tory in world­wide finan­cial cir­cles. He was eighty on June 17, 1980, and his chief of secu­rity, Hein­rich Mueller, was seventy-nine the same year. Bor­mann today may be likened to the clas­sic chair­man of the board of a vast inter­na­tional busi­ness com­plex, of an orga­ni­za­tion hold­ing greater assets than any pri­vate invest­ment house on Wall Street. Bor­mann, aged though he is, con­tin­ues to guide the des­tiny of his finan­cial empire. But he is suf­fi­ciently pru­dent and far­sighted to real­ize that the assets he con­trols must be placed in younger hands, and today the lead­er­ship coun­cil of the senior NSDAP group is reflected in a younger gen­er­a­tion, com­pris­ing pro­fes­sional man­agers, lawyers, and financiers, who are call­ing the shots as money and trade are moved among the mar­kets of the Amer­i­cas and Europe. Their orga­ni­za­tion holds the bearer bonds that give him a voice in banks and indus­tries of Ger­many, and like­wise they hold blue chip stocks in U.S. heavy indus­tries and chem­i­cal com­pa­nies. They are rep­re­sented too on the boards of cor­po­ra­tions in France, Bel­gium, Hol­land, Swe­den, Lux­em­bourg, and Switzer­land, as well as in a myr­iad of other coun­tries, includ­ing those in their bas­tion, Latin Amer­ica. Their man­age­ment is of the best and the com­pa­nies they oper­ate return a profit to every­one involved, from the West Ger­man gov­ern­ment in cor­po­rate taxes and increased trade, to the share­hold­ers of all com­pa­nies that par­tic­i­pated so long ago in Reich­sleiter Bormann’s flight cap­i­tal pro­gram.” (Mar­tin Bor­mann: Nazi in Exile; Paul Man­ning; Copy­right 1981 by Paul Man­ning; [HC] Lyle Stu­art Inc.; ISBN 0–8184-0309–8; p. 226.)

6. The pro­gram high­lights another inter­est­ing aspect of the Bor­mann organization’s influ­ence in the United States, its select use of Jew­ish busi­ness­men as front men. One should note that the inclu­sion of Jew­ish busi­ness­men in the organization’s struc­ture con­tributes to the eco­nomic sup­port of Israel. In turn, the Bor­mann finan­cial sup­port of Israel helps to insure the rel­a­tive silence and com­plic­ity of Israel and the Zion­ist com­mu­nity on sub­stan­tive issues con­cern­ing the post­war sur­vival of the Under­ground Reich. “Since the found­ing of Israel, the Fed­eral Repub­lic of Ger­many had paid out 85.3 bil­lion marks, by the end of 1977, to sur­vivors of the Holo­caust. East Ger­many ignores any such lia­bil­ity. From South Amer­ica, where pay­ment must be made with sub­tlety, the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion has made a sub­stan­tial con­tri­bu­tion. It has drawn many of the bright­est Jew­ish busi­ness­men into a par­tic­i­pa­tory role in the devel­op­ment of many of its cor­po­ra­tions, and many of these Jews share their pros­per­ity most gen­er­ously with Israel. If their pro­pos­als are sound, they are even pro­vided with a spe­cially dis­pensed ven­ture cap­i­tal fund. I spoke with one Jew­ish busi­ness­man in Hart­ford, Con­necti­cut. He had arrived there quite unknown sev­eral years before our con­ver­sa­tion, but with Bor­mann money as his lever­age. Today he is more than a mil­lion­aire, a quiet leader in the com­mu­nity with a cer­tain share of his prof­its ear­marked, as always, for his ven­ture cap­i­tal bene­fac­tors. This has taken place in many other instances across Amer­ica and demon­strates how Bormann’s peo­ple oper­ate in the con­tem­po­rary com­mer­cial world, in con­trast to the fan­ci­ful non­sense with which Nazis are described in so much ‘lit­er­a­ture.’ So much empha­sis is placed on select Jew­ish par­tic­i­pa­tion in Bor­mann com­pa­nies that when Adolf Eich­mann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv to stand trial, it pro­duced a shock wave in the Jew­ish and Ger­man com­mu­ni­ties of Buenos Aires. Jew­ish lead­ers informed the Israeli author­i­ties in no uncer­tain terms that this must never hap­pen again because a rep­e­ti­tion would per­ma­nently rup­ture rela­tions with the Ger­mans of Latin Amer­ica, as well as with the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion, and cut off the flow of Jew­ish money to Israel. It never hap­pened again, and the pur­suit of Bor­mann qui­eted down at the request of these Jew­ish lead­ers. He is resid­ing in an Argen­tine safe haven, pro­tected by the most effi­cient Ger­man infra­struc­ture in his­tory as well as by all those whose pros­per­ity depends on his well-being. Per­sonal invi­ta­tion is the only way to reach him.” (Ibid.; pp. 226–227.)

7. The pro­gram relates an inci­dent in which orga­nized crime king­pin Meyer Lan­sky tried to black­mail the Bor­mann group. This resulted in his removal from Israel. “A reveal­ing insight into this inter­na­tional finan­cial and indus­trial net­work was given me by a mem­ber of the Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion resid­ing in West Ger­many. Meyer Lan­sky, he said, the finan­cial advi­sor to the Las Vegas-Miami under­world sent a mes­sage to Bor­mann through my West Ger­man SS con­tact. Lan­sky promised that if he received a piece of Bormann’s action he would keep the Israeli agents off Bormann’s back. ‘I have a very good rela­tion with the Israeli secret police’ was his claim, although he was to be kicked out of Israel when his pres­ence became too noted-and also at the urg­ing of Bormann’s secu­rity chief in South Amer­ica. At the time Lan­sky was in the pent­house suite of Jerusalem’s King David Hotel, in which he owned stock. He had fled to Israel to evade a U.S. fed­eral war­rant for his arrest. He sent his mes­sage to Bor­mann through his bag man in Switzer­land, John Pull­man, also wanted in the United States on a fed­eral war­rant. Lan­sky told Pull­man to make this offer ‘which he can’t refuse.’ The offer was for­warded to Buenos Aires, where it was greeted with laugh­ter. When the laugh­ter died down, it was replaced with action. Meyer was evicted from Israel and was told by Swiss author­i­ties to stay out of their coun­try, so he flew to South Amer­ica. There he offered any pres­i­dent who would give him asy­lum a cool $1 mil­lion in cash. He was turned down every­where and had to con­tinue his flight to Miami, where U.S. mar­shals, alerted, were wait­ing to take him into cus­tody.” (Ibid.; pp. 227–228.)

8. The impli­ca­tions of the Bormann/Lansky encounter were neatly summed up by Paul Man­ning. “The Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion has the ulti­mate in clout and sub­stance, and no one can tam­per with it. I have been told: ‘You can­not push these peo­ple. If you do it can be extremely risky.’ Know­ing their her­itage I take this state­ment at face value.” (Ibid.; p. 228.)

9. The Israeli right-wing has an his­tor­i­cal rela­tion­ship with fas­cism. After briefly chron­i­cling the piv­otal role of the Holo­caust in the birth of Israel and the Arab nations’ expul­sion of Jews and the appro­pri­a­tion of their prop­erty fol­low­ing the Israeli War of Inde­pen­dence, the broad­cast sum­ma­rizes the fascist/Zionist con­nec­tion. A fel­low trav­eler of Mus­solini, Vladimir Jabotin­sky headed up the Betar in the 1930’s (M30). The two best-known grad­u­ates of the fas­cist Betar were for­mer Israeli Prime Min­is­ter Menaghem Begin (M30) and the late Meir Kahane (M58). Jabotinsky’s per­sonal sec­re­tary (and a pall­bearer at his funeral) was Ben­zion Netanyahu, the father and polit­i­cal men­tor of for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Ben­jamin Netanyahu (FTR#94). Another of the fas­cist ele­ments within the Zion­ist move­ment was the Stern Gang, which advo­cated a mil­i­tary alliance between Nazi Ger­many and the Zion­ist move­ment in order to drive the British from Palestine-the most famous grad­u­ate of the Stern Gang was Yitzhak Shamir, another Israeli Prime Min­is­ter (M30). Feivel Polkes (a Pol­ish Jew and a mem­ber of the Hagan­nah) worked with Otto Von Bolschwing, Adolph Eichmann’s supe­rior and a key mem­ber of the Dulles/Gehlen axis.

10. The Under­ground Reich is deeply involved with the Repub­li­can Party. Dur­ing the Clin­ton admin­is­tra­tion the Repub­li­cans actively sub­verted Clinton’s attempts at bro­ker­ing a peace accord between Israel and the Pales­tini­ans. For exam­ple, when Hillary Clin­ton came out in favor of the cre­ation of a Pales­tin­ian state, House Major­ity Leader Newt Gin­grich trav­eled to Israel and spoke out against this in an address to the Knes­set (the Israeli parliament.)

11. Exem­plary of the Repub­li­can sub­ver­sion of Clinton’s attempts at bro­ker­ing a Mideast peace accord was the Dole bill, which would have moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that Yitzhak Rabin (later assas­si­nated) advised against. Clin­ton vetoed the law. “Indeed, con­sti­tu­tion­ally, the Pres­i­dent can sus­pend the appli­ca­tion of a law approved by Con­gress if he judges it con­trary to the higher inter­ests of the coun­try, as was the case for the Dole law that pro­posed to trans­fer the embassy of the United States to Jerusalem.” (Dol­lars for Ter­ror: The United States and Islam; p. 167.)

12. Next, the pro­gram reviews the prob­a­ble sub­ver­sion of the Camp David peace talks by the Repub­li­cans in July of 2000. Key mem­bers of the PLO nego­ti­at­ing team at Camp David were pro­teges of the anti-Semitic James Baker, the elder George Bush’s Sec­re­tary of State. Baker brought key Pales­tin­ian “mod­er­ates” to the United States, where they were coached in the lat­est PR tech­niques by the CIA. Termed “Baker’s Dozen” by the Agency, they have become the dar­lings of the so-called “pro­gres­sive sec­tor.” In con­junc­tion with the fail­ure of the peace talks, one should bear in mind the fact that the PLO is bankrolled pri­mar­ily by Saudi Ara­bia and the Saudis are deeply involved with the Bush/Republican milieu. “Accord­ing to our sources, the CIA secretly brought sev­eral mod­er­ate Pales­tini­ans to the United States for inten­sive brief­ing. This group, code named ‘Baker’s Dozen,’ included most of the ‘offi­cial’ Pales­tin­ian nego­ti­at­ing team with Israel: ‘Hanan Ashrawi, Hanna Seniora, Saeb Erakat, Sari Nus­seibeh and other lower rank­ing Pales­tini­ans were sum­moned to Lan­g­ley for a three day con­fer­ence on inte­grat­ing their pol­i­tics with the U.S. . . . Ashrawi was sin­gled out as a good Pales­tin­ian image spokes­woman dubbed by the Company-the Pales­tin­ian Golda Meir.’” (The Secret War Against the Jews: How West­ern Espi­onage Betrayed the Jew­ish Peo­ple; John Lof­tus and Mark Aarons; Copy­right 1994 [SC]; St. Martin’s Press; ISBN 0–312-15648–0; p. 476.)

10. In the intro­duc­tion to their book, Lof­tus and Aarons note the sen­ti­ments of Bush (Sr.) Sec­re­tary of State James Baker. ” ‘What­so­ever ye shall do unto the least of men . . . So shall ye do also unto me.’ –Jesus of Nazareth, called by the Romans ‘King of the Jews,’ circa A.D. 32.” (Ibid.; p. vii.)

11. ” ‘Fuck the Jews . . . they won’t vote for us any­way.’ –The Hon­or­able James Baker, Sec­re­tary of State, United States of Amer­ica, circa A.D. 1992.” (Idem.)

12. In the con­text of the Baker affil­i­a­tion of the Pales­tin­ian nego­tia­tors, it is inter­est­ing to note that the day that petro­leum indus­try pro­fes­sional Dick Cheney (another Bush, Sr. cab­i­net offi­cer) was named as George W’s Vice-Presidential can­di­date, Yasser Arafat walked out of the Camp David peace talks that were being bro­kered by Pres­i­dent Clin­ton. (“Clin­ton Ends Dead­locked Peace Talks” by Jane Per­lez; New York Times; 7/26/2000; p. A1; “Bush Names Cheney, Cit­ing ‘Integrity’ and ‘Expe­ri­ence’” by Frank Bruni; New York Times; 7/26/2000; p. A1.) The pos­si­bil­ity that the Republican/petroleum industry/Saudi con­nec­tion may have played a back chan­nel role in inter­dict­ing the peace talks is not a pos­si­bil­ity to be too read­ily dis­carded. (It should be noted that the elder George Bush was in touch with the Saudi Royal fam­ily dur­ing the 2000 cam­paign through the Car­lyle group. The Bush/Saudi con­nec­tion appears to have helped to destroy Jimmy Carter’s elec­tion prospects in 1980. Had Pres­i­dent Clin­ton suc­cess­fully bro­kered the Israeli/Palestinian peace process, it might have very well given the 2000 elec­tion to Al Gore.)

13. The broad­cast notes that the key State Depart­ment offi­cial involved with coor­di­nat­ing pol­icy with so-called “friendly” gov­ern­ments in the region is Dick Cheney’s daugh­ter, Eliz­a­beth. And you thought that Bush’s son was the one you had to worry about. Turns out it’s Cheney’s daugh­ter. “Yet the work assigned to Ms. Cheney, a deputy US assis­tant under­sec­re­tary of state and daugh­ter of the vice-president, is hardly diplo­macy as usual. The focus of her efforts is coun­tries in the Arab world. Her newly cre­ated post is at the fore­front of US efforts to insti­gate polit­i­cal reform among the author­i­tar­ian regimes long regarded by Wash­ing­ton as allies.” (“ ‘Iraq Will Cause a Change in the Region and Make America’s Ene­mies Des­per­ate’” by Rhoula Kha­laf; Finan­cial Times; 1/16/2003; p. 11.)

14. As a result of the col­lapse (Republican/Underground Reich sub­ver­sion?) of the Camp David peace talks: a dev­as­tat­ing and mutu­ally anni­hi­lat­ing con­clu­sion to the Israeli/Palestinian con­flict is closer than ever; the peace process and prospects for the Israeli Labor party appear more remote than ever, despite the ongo­ing endorse­ment by the major­ity of the Israeli pop­u­la­tion for the estab­lish­ment of a Pales­tin­ian state; the Repub­li­cans (despite their Under­ground Reich con­nec­tions and anti-Semitism) have been able to trum­pet their sup­port for Israel as a cam­paign and pro­pa­ganda tool; the Arab world (and many peo­ple out­side of the Mid­dle East) see the US as being con­trolled by a “Zion­ist con­spir­acy;” and the stage is set for the real­iza­tion of the sce­nario pre­sented in Serpent’s Walk.

15. In Serpent’s Walk, a Nazi pro­pa­ganda tract and teach­ing tool, like The Turner Diaries, the Nazi Fuehrer (Alan Less­ing) inveighs against the Jews. (This takes place after the Under­ground Reich has infil­trated the US Army, a dev­as­tat­ing bio/terror attack involv­ing genetically-engineered micro-organisms has wiped out much of the US pop­u­la­tion, mar­tial law is declared, Israel gets wiped out by an Under­ground Reich “pre­emp­tive strike”, and the Under­ground Reich takes over the world.) The premise of the tract is that the US and the world are being manip­u­lated by a “Jew­ish conspiracy”-a theme one hears with increas­ing fre­quency these days from the so-called pro­gres­sive sec­tor, as well as overtly fas­cist ele­ments. ” ‘A pre­emp­tive, sur­gi­cal first strike, just like the Izzies pulled on the Arabs a few times.’ He picked up a sheaf of doc­u­ments. ‘We keep this stuff, right? It’s evi­dence of their inten­tions. I’ll give it to Liese’s pub­lic­ity peo­ple right away, and we’ll have it on Home-Net before night­fall. I think we can promise you sup­port.’” (Serpent’s Walk by ‘Ran­dolph D. Calver­hall;’ Copy­right 1991 [SC]; National Van­guard Books; 0–937944-05-X; pp. 432–433.)

16. ” ‘They deserved it!’ Kenow growled. ‘We didn’t do nothin’ to ‘em.’” (Ibid.; p. 433.)

17. ” ‘Even if you did, I doubt if our eth­nos group’ll make more than token objec­tions. The world’s had it. Any­body as unpop­u­lar as the Jews have always been . . . Egypt, Baby­lon, Rome, Spain, every coun­try in Europe dur­ing the Mid­dle Ages, Rus­sia, Amer­ica, the Third Reich . . . must be doing some­thing wrong! We’d have pre­ferred peace­ful . . . and sep­a­rate . . . and dis­tant . . . co-existence, but they never got the mes­sage. Now we don’t care any­more.’” (Idem.)

18. ” ‘It’s too bad . . .’ Wrench began.” (Idem.)

19. “Don’t waste your pity!’” Less­ing snapped. ‘They wouldn’t waste any on you. Sure, it’s sad that inno­cent peo­ple have to suf­fer, but it can’t be helped. That’s real­ity! That’s Nature! You can’t save the dodo, the con­dors, and the other losers in the bat­tle for sur­vival. Species-extinction hap­pens over and over, like rain in the summer-time. For­get ethics and moral­ity and ‘do-unto-others.’ The Izzies said ‘never again!’ about the ‘Holo­caust,’ but then they turned around and did to the Pales­tini­ans every­thing they claimed the Ger­mans had done to them! They called it ‘self-defense’: war under the pre­text of peace, oppres­sion in the name of jus­tice and sta­bil­ity! The Arabs were weak and went under, but we’re a dif­fer­ent story. We’re going to make it, no mat­ter who gets in our way.’” (Idem.)

20. ” ‘I hear Bill God­dard again,’ Wrench mur­mured.” (Idem.)

21. ” ‘No, you hear me, Alan Less­ing! There was a time when I’d have waf­fled and gone for ‘turn the other cheek,’ but not any­more! Now you hear me, and you hear our Party, our eth­nos, our major­ity . . . our First Fuhrer! You hear the past, you hear the present, and you hear the future! We are the future!’” (Idem.)

22. Exem­pli­fy­ing the Under­ground Reich’s co-opting of the rhetoric of “anti-Imperialism” and their alliance with Arab nation­al­ist move­ments and Islamists, for­mer Goebbels pro­pa­ganda aide Johann Von Leers artic­u­lated the posi­tion of the “vir­tual state” that is the Under­ground Reich in a let­ter to a col­league. ” ‘One thing is clear-more and more patriot Ger­mans join the great Arab rev­o­lu­tion against beastly impe­ri­al­ism. In Alge­ria half a com­pany of Ger­man sol­diers, drag­ging with them two French offi­cers and two non-commissioned offi­cers, have cut their throats in the view of the Alger­ian rev­o­lu­tion­ar­ies and have gone on the side of the Alge­ri­ans and have embraced Islam. That is good! To hell with Chris­tian­ity, for in Christianity’s name Ger­many has been sold to our oppres­sors! Our place as an oppressed nation under the exe­crable West­ern colo­nial­ist Bonn gov­ern­ment must be on the side of the Arab nation­al­ist revolt against the West. Let Ade­nauer be furi­ous that hon­est Ger­man patri­ots are not extra­dited to him or to his British or Amer­i­can bosses, by those freedom-loving Arab coun­tries. May the British swine call us ‘meddlers’-in a short time British med­dling in the Mid­dle East will be over, as it has fin­ished in Iraq where the infi­del ser­vants of British impe­ri­al­ism are all killed. I hamd ul allah! . . . the back­ing given by USA to the Jew­ish tyrants in Ger­many will make the Ger­man nation revolt. Indeed, for out nation there is only one hope, to get rid of West­ern impe­ri­al­ism by join­ing the Arab-led anti-imperialist group.”’ (Dreamer of the Day: Fran­cis Parker Yockey and the Post­war Fas­cist Inter­na­tional; by Kevin Coogan; Copy­right 1999 [SC]; Autono­me­dia; ISBN 1–57027-039–2; pp. 382–383.)

23. Hun­gar­ian fas­cist Ist­van Csurka held forth in a sim­i­lar vein after the 9/11 attacks. Notice the sim­i­lar­ity between the rhetoric of the so-called pro­gres­sive sec­tor and that used by this vir­u­lent, overt fas­cist. By way of fur­ther illus­trat­ing the con­cept of the “vir­tual state,” it is worth not­ing that Csurka and his polit­i­cal asso­ciates are closely iden­ti­fied with the Hun­gar­ian Arrow Cross move­ment that was allied with Hitler. Both Arrow Cross vet­er­ans and Islam­o­fas­cists are affil­i­ated with the Al Taqwa milieu in the Repub­li­can Eth­nic Out­reach orga­ni­za­tion. “Ist­van Csurka, the far-right leader, used a com­mem­o­ra­tion of the vic­tims of the New York ter­ror tragedy in the Hun­gar­ian Par­lia­ment to repeat his dec­la­ra­tion that the ter­ror­ist attacks on the USA were a ‘reac­tion from the oppressed peo­ples of the world against glob­al­iza­tion, exploita­tion and the delib­er­ate geno­cide . . . in Pales­tine.’” (“Hun­gary: Arrow Cross Ide­ol­ogy Revived” by Karl Pfeifer; The Search­light; November/2001 [#317]; p. 32.)

24. Rhetoric sim­i­lar to that used by Von Leers and Csurka was employed by Ger­man neo-Nazi Horst Mahler in prais­ing the 9/11 attacks. (It is worth not­ing that Mahler is an asso­ciate of Al Taqwa direc­tor Ahmed Huber, who is also affil­i­ated with the NPD-the top Ger­man neo-Nazi party. “One of the most promi­nent extreme Right-wingers in Ger­man pol­i­tics has caused uproar by prais­ing the ter­ror­ist attacks against Amer­ica on prime time tele­vi­sion. Horst Mahler, a for­mer mem­ber of the ter­ror­ist Red Army Fac­tion, and now a lead­ing voice in the National Demo­c­ra­tic Party, said Amer­ica had got what it deserved and described the vic­tims as ‘col­lat­eral dam­age.’ Mr. Mahler, a lawyer, was impris­oned dur­ing the 1970s for his ter­ror­ism links. He said on a polit­i­cal opin­ion pro­gram, ‘Panorama’: ‘at last the Amer­i­cans have been hit in the heart.’ He described the hijack­ers as ‘war­riors pre­pared to kill them­selves’ in the cause of ‘break­ing the power of money.’” (“Ger­man Right-Winger Applauds Ter­ror­ists” by Toby Helm; Daily Tele­graph; 9/25/2001; accessed at www.news.telegraph.co.uk.)

25. Also illus­tra­tive of the oper­a­tional nature of the “vir­tual state” that is the Under­ground Reich is the fol­low­ing very dis­turb­ing alle­ga­tion: that the afore­men­tioned Horst Mahler, along with other neo-Nazis, has infil­trated the Black Bloc, an orga­ni­za­tion that had a strong and impec­ca­bly anti-fascist gen­e­sis in Ger­many. Ele­ments of Black Bloc have descended into agent-provacateur-like activ­ity in con­nec­tion with the anti-globalization protests in Genoa, Italy, in 2001. “They have shaved heads, dress com­pletely in black, and wear hoods or ban­danas to dis­guise them­selves. They carry long metal bars to smash ATMs or shop win­dows, and Molo­tov cock­tails to throw at police. They are the most feared group in the anti-globalization move­ment: Black bloc.” (“ ‘L’Internationale’ of Chaos” by Pino Buon­gio; Panorama; 8/2/2001; p. 1.)

26. “Their polit­i­cal ances­try began in the early eight­ies when Ger­man squat­ters occu­pied thou­sands of aban­doned build­ings in Frank­furt, Ham­burg, and Berlin. The suc­cess of local ‘Auton­o­mis­ten’ in repelling police earned them the name ‘das Schwarzer Bloc.’ A het­ero­ge­neous move­ment, born in an ‘Autonomous’ envi­ron­ment, Black Bloc later widened to include neo-nazis from the for­mer East Ger­many, includ­ing the shaven heads of ‘Blut und Ehre’ (Blood and Hon­our), ‘die Dreien S’ (SSS), and ‘Gruppe Achtun­dachtzig’ (Group 88). The nazi-skins oppose glob­al­iza­tion in order to defend the Aryan race, as upheld by their ide­o­log­i­cal men­tor, the for­mer Red Army fac­tion ter­ror­ist turned NPD leader, Horst Mahler.)” (Idem.)

27. The Black Bloc was also present at the Jan­u­ary, 2003 anti-war demon­stra­tion in San Fran­cisco and behaved in a sim­i­larly provoca­tive fash­ion. “The band that broke away from the Jan. 18 peace march along San Francisco’s Mar­ket Street and spent 35 min­utes van­dal­iz­ing the Finan­cial Dis­trict marked the Bay Area’s intro­duc­tion to ‘black bloc’ protests, police say. The black bloc, named for its activists’ black attire, cou­ples a con­fronta­tional style of street protest with anar­chist philoso­phies. It arose in Europe dur­ing the late 1980’s. Amer­i­cans first saw the black bloc in 1999, when black-clad van­dals in masks pro­voked a police coun­ter­at­tack that turned a Seat­tle rally against the World Trade Orga­ni­za­tion into a riot.” (“ ‘Black Bloc’ Pro­test­ers Make their Mark in S.F.” by Tom Abate; San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle; 1/27/2003; p. B1.)

28. Ranged oppo­site the anti-globalization pro­test­ers at Genoa was Gian­franco Fini, the head of the Allianza Nationale. As one grap­ples with the con­cept of the “vir­tual state” con­sider that Fini heads the suc­ces­sor to Mussolini’s fas­cist party and that the Israeli Likud Party sent a rep­re­sen­ta­tive to that con­fer­ence as did a mem­ber of the US Repub­li­can Party. Fini and his milieu are also con­nected to the Al Taqwa/Muslim Broth­er­hood milieu that views the US and Israel as their mor­tal ene­mies. The Genoa anti-globalization imbroglio illus­trates in a quin­tes­sen­tial way the con­cept of the Under­ground Reich as a “vir­tual state,” and why it con­sti­tutes such an elu­sive and deadly foe. Look at the many and var­ied ten­ta­cles of this par­tic­u­lar octo­pus. “The pres­i­dent of Egypt and the deputy prime min­is­ter of Italy have said in recent days that they were aware of a threat from Osama bin Laden’s net­work of Islamic ter­ror­ists to kill Pres­i­dent Bush and other lead­ers of the indus­tri­al­ized world when they met at a sum­mit meet­ing in Genoa last July. . .” (“2 Lead­ers Tell Of Plot to Kill Bush in Genoa” by David E. Sanger; The New York Times; 9/26/2001; p. B1.)

29. “Sev­eral days before Mr. Mubarak’s inter­view, in an appear­ance on Ital­ian tele­vi­sion, Gian­franco Fini, the Ital­ian deputy prime min­is­ter, dis­cussed par­al­lels between the attacks on the World Trade Cen­ter and the Pen­ta­gon, and warn­ings his gov­ern­ment had received before the Genoa meet­ing in July.” (Idem.)

31. As the prospect of war with Iraq grows more likely, one should bear in mind that the “vir­tual state” of the Under­ground Reich is present in both the Bush admin­is­tra­tion and Sad­dam Hussein’s regime. It will be inter­est­ing to see if this “let’s you and him fight” sce­nario spells doom for the United States, through a ter­ror­ist reprisal using weapons of mass destruc­tion and/or eco­nomic destruc­tion as a result of the pre­pos­ter­ous eco­nomic poli­cies of George W. Bush.
