Updat­ing and/or high­light­ing a vari­ety of sto­ries, this pro­gram begins with the story of Jere­miah Dug­gan, a young British Jew mur­dered in Ger­many after trav­el­ing to Wies­baden to attend an event staged by the Schiller Insti­tute. A Ger­man branch of the fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion of Lyn­don La Rouche, the Schiller Insti­tute was stag­ing what the late, unfor­tu­nate Dug­gan believed to be an anti-war event, crit­i­cal of the Bush Admin­is­tra­tion. Dug­gan was not aware of the fas­cist char­ac­ter of the La Rouche orga­ni­za­tion, nor did he know of the group’s doc­tri­naire anti-Semitism. Although the evi­dence that Dug­gan was mur­dered is incon­tro­vert­ible, the Ger­man police author­i­ties are actively cov­er­ing up Duggan’s killing, insist­ing that he com­mit­ted sui­cide by run­ning in front of a car. Revis­it­ing the sub­ject of the mur­der­ous reac­tion of the Mus­lim com­mu­nity to a Dan­ish newspaper’s pub­li­ca­tion of car­toons of the prophet Mohamed, the broad­cast details the active sup­pres­sion of two Cam­bridge Uni­ver­sity stu­dents’ com­mem­o­ra­tion of the event. Not only were the stu­dents forced into hid­ing by the reac­tion to the pub­li­ca­tion, but the Uni­ver­sity cen­sured them and the local police opened a crim­i­nal inves­ti­ga­tion into the stu­dents’ behav­ior! Next, the pro­gram details the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of U.S. long-grain rice crops by genet­i­cally engi­neered strains, and notes that the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion threat­ens the liveli­hood of the U.S. farm­ers. The “acci­den­tal” con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the farm­ers’ seed stock came from the Bayer and BASF firms—two “for­mer” mem­bers of the I.G. Far­ben chem­i­cal car­tel and major ele­ments of the post­war Under­ground Reich. After fur­ther dis­cus­sion of the begin­ning of syn­thetic fuel pro­duc­tion in the U.S., the broad­cast notes that the con­tin­ued high price of oil makes the mar­ket­ing of syn­thetic fuel com­mer­cially viable. The high price of crude, in turn, is main­tained at its exor­bi­tant level by con­tin­ued polit­i­cal insta­bil­ity and mil­i­tary adven­tur­ism, such as the recent Iran­ian kid­nap­ping of British sailors and Marines. After set­ting forth the fact that the Israeli mil­i­tary incur­sion into Lebanon had been planned well in advance, the broad­cast con­cludes with dis­cus­sion of the pos­si­bil­ity that Demo­c­ra­tic Party and left-wing king­maker George Soros may well be an oper­a­tive of the Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work and the Under­ground Reich.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Soros’s work for the Third Reich in World War II, help­ing with the “Aryaniza­tion” of Jew­ish prop­erty dur­ing the Holo­caust; the refusal of the Ger­man author­i­ties to reopen the Jer­miah Dug­gan case, despite over­whelm­ing evi­dence that Dug­gan was killed; review of the I.G. Farben-developed Fischer-Tropsch hydro­gen process, which Mr. Emory long pre­dicted would be rein­tro­duced when the price of crude became suf­fi­ciently high to make syn­thetic fuel profitable.

1. Begin­ning with dis­cus­sion of the appar­ent mur­der of a young Jew­ish peace activist in Ger­many, the pro­gram notes that the young Briton had defen­sive wounds on his hands, had ingested large quan­ti­ties of blood before dying, and had called his mother shortly before his death to say he was in dan­ger. The victim—Jeremiah Duggan—had trav­eled to Ger­many to attend a con­fer­ence spon­sored by the Schiller insti­tute, the Ger­man com­po­nent of the fas­cist La Rouche orga­ni­za­tion. [Lyn­don La Rouche is a promi­nent Amer­i­can fas­cist, whose orga­ni­za­tion has gained con­sid­er­able trac­tion in the so-called “pro­gres­sive” sec­tor in the U.S. For more about the La Rouche orga­ni­za­tion, check out Den­nis King’s Lyn­don La Rouche and the New Amer­i­can Fas­cism.] “Com­pelling new evi­dence sug­gests that a 22-year-old Briton who had become involved with a right-wing polit­i­cal cult in Ger­many was mur­dered, con­tra­dict­ing the author­i­ties’ ver­dict of sui­cide. Two new reports from lead­ing foren­sic pathol­o­gists sug­gest that Jere­miah Dug­gan, a stu­dent at the British Insti­tute in Paris, was bat­tered to death with a blunt instru­ment as he tried des­per­ately to defend him­self. The find­ings, to be revealed on Tues­day, cast grave doubt on the offi­cial ver­dict that Dug­gan hurled him­self in front of cars on a dual car­riage­way in Wies­baden. Foren­sic spe­cial­ists found no trace of tire marks on his body, or any­thing to sug­gest that he had been struck by a vehi­cle. But they did detect clas­sic ‘defense wounds’ to Duggan’s fore­arms and hands, which usu­ally sug­gest some­one try­ing to pro­tect him­self. His head injuries are con­sis­tent with being beaten and ‘exclude any pos­si­bil­ity that the injuries to his head occurred because a motor vehi­cle ran over the body’, accord­ing to the two stud­ies. . . .”

2. Mr. Emory notes that the story of the killing of Jere­miah Dug­gan is note­wor­thy for a cou­ple of rea­sons: it illus­trates just how dan­ger­ous the La Rouche orga­ni­za­tion is and the inci­dent also gives ample illus­tra­tion of the Under­ground Reich at work. Con­sider what we have here—a Ger­man fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion mur­ders a Jew with the con­nivance and active assis­tance of the Ger­man police and judi­cial author­i­ties! “ . . . 21 March 2003 Jere­miah Dug­gan trav­els to Wies­baden for what he believes is an anti-war con­fer­ence. In fact, it was orga­nized by the far-right Schiller Insti­tute, which is inspired by Lyn­don LaRouche, a US right-wing con­spir­acy the­o­rist, and run by his wife. It has a his­tory of anti-Semitism. 27 March At 4.20am, Dug­gan, who was Jew­ish, called his mother, say­ing: ‘I’m in deep, deep trou­ble, I want out.’ Later he was found dead on a dual car­riage­way. 29 March Ger­man author­i­ties claim he took his own life by jump­ing into traf­fic. . . .” (Idem.)

3. Next, the pro­gram high­lights the dis­grace­ful behav­ior of British author­i­ties. When two stu­dents at Cam­bridge University’s Clare Col­lege com­mem­o­rated the anniver­sary of the deadly riot­ing that fol­lowed a Dan­ish paper’s pub­li­ca­tion of car­toons of the prophet Mohamed, the uni­ver­sity author­i­ties cen­sured them [even as they were dri­ven into hid­ing by threats against them], and the Cam­bridgeshire police opened a crim­i­nal inves­ti­ga­tion into their activ­i­ties! (For more dis­cus­sion of “Car­toon­gate,” see FTR#543.) “. . . .Last month, two stu­dents at Cam­bridge University’s Clare Col­lege became vic­tims of this state of affairs. The stu­dents ded­i­cated an edi­tion of their satire mag­a­zine to the one-year anniver­sary of the global Mus­lim riots which fol­lowed the pub­li­ca­tion of car­i­ca­tures of Muham­mad in the Dan­ish Jyl­lands Posten news­pa­per. As the stu­dents recalled, those riots led to the deaths of more than a hun­dred peo­ple. Although the British media refused to repub­lish the car­i­ca­tures, British Mus­lims held ter­ri­fy­ing protests through­out the coun­try where they called for the destruc­tion of Britain, the US, Den­mark and Israel and for the mur­der of all who refuse to accept the global dom­i­na­tion of Islam. In their mag­a­zine, the stu­dents pub­lished some of the car­i­ca­tures and mocked the Mus­lims for their hypocrisy in accus­ing British soci­ety of racial prej­u­dice while call­ing for its vio­lent destruc­tion. The Mus­lim reac­tion was appar­ently swift. Fear­ing for their lives, the stu­dents were forced into hid­ing. But the Mus­lims were not alone in their anger. Clare Col­lege set up a spe­cial dis­ci­pli­nary court to con­sider action against the stu­dents. And the Cam­bridgeshire police opened a crim­i­nal inves­ti­ga­tion against them in late Feb­ru­ary. . . .”

4. Many “For The Record” shows have dealt with the Ger­man I.G. Far­ben chem­i­cal firm. The back­bone of the Third Reich, I.G. Far­ben and its suc­ces­sor firms dom­i­nate the his­tory of the 20th and [so far] the 21st cen­turies. This pro­gram high­lights a prob­lem plagu­ing Amer­i­can rice farm­ers. Although U.S. agri­cul­ture has embraced genetically-modified crops, they have been largely rejected abroad, thus hurt­ing Amer­i­can agri­cul­tural exports. Recently, U.S. rice farm­ers have been vic­tim­ized by two genet­i­cally con­t­a­m­i­nated crop strains—one made by Bayer and the other by BASF. Both Bayer and BASF are suc­ces­sor firms to I.G. Far­ben, which was never effec­tively de-Nazified and which func­tioned as key Bor­mann enti­ties in the post­war period. The genetic con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the Amer­i­can rice crop has seri­ously dam­aged the for­tunes of the U.S. rice-farming com­mu­nity. Is the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion acci­den­tal, or is it part of an eco­nomic war­fare pro­gram by the Under­ground Reich against the United States? Are Bor­mann Orga­ni­za­tion con­trolled enti­ties fill­ing the gap in U.S. rice exports? (For more about I.G. Far­ben, see—among other programs—FTR#’s 385, 411, 506, 511, 552. For more about I.G. Far­ben and its involve­ment with the post­war Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work, see—among other programs—FTR#’s 305, 576. For fur­ther research, take advan­tage of the books avail­able from Spit­fire.) “. . . U.S. farm­ers such as Zaun­brecher have been caught in the mid­dle, fight­ing off domes­tic efforts to intro­duce gene-altered rice until inter­na­tional mar­kets warm to the prod­uct. He was going to plant a con­ven­tional vari­ety called Che­niere on at least 500 of his more than 2,000 acres, until he learned that it had become inex­plic­a­bly tainted with a weed killer-resistant gene cre­ated by Bayer Crop­Science of Research Tri­an­gle Park, N.C., that was unap­proved for rice. In its place, he ordered Clearfield131, another non-engineered vari­ety, devel­oped by BASF of Ger­many. But on March 5, the USDA put out an emer­gency call to pre­vent all plant­ing of that vari­ety. Tests had found two laboratory-made genes not meant to be in it, one belong­ing to Bayer and one that has yet to be fully iden­ti­fied. . . .”

5. Sup­ple­ment­ing pre­vi­ous pro­grams about the resus­ci­ta­tion of the hydro­gena­tion process to develop gaso­line from coal, the pro­gram notes the nascent devel­op­ment of syn­thetic fuel pro­duc­tion in the United States. (For more about this topic, see—among other programs—FTR#’s 385, 544, 552.) “When rail­roads ruled, it was the sweat­ing fire­men shov­el­ing coal into the fur­nace who kept the engines run­ning. Now, nearly two cen­turies after Stephenson’s ‘Rocket’ steam loco­mo­tive helped usher in the Indus­trial Rev­o­lu­tion, that same coal could be the fuel that keeps the jet age aloft. But with a twist: The planes of the future could be flown with liq­uid fuel made from coal or nat­ural gas. Already the United States Air Force has car­ried out tests fly­ing a B-52 Strato­fortress with a coal-based fuel. And Jet­Blue Air­ways Corp. sup­ports a bill in Con­gress that would extend tax cred­its for alter­na­tive fuels, push­ing tech­nol­ogy to pro­duce jet fuel for the equiv­a­lent of $40 a bar­rel — way below cur­rent oil prices. Major coal min­ing com­pa­nies in the United States, which has more coal reserves than Saudi Ara­bia has oil, are invest­ing in ways to develop fuels derived from car­bon. The tech­nol­ogy of pro­duc­ing a liq­uid fuel from coal or nat­ural gas is hardly new. The Fischer-Tropsch process was devel­oped by Ger­man researchers Franz Fis­cher and Hans Trop­sch in 1923 and used by Ger­many and Japan dur­ing World War II to pro­duce alter­na­tive fuels. Indeed, in 1944, Ger­many pro­duced 6.5 mil­lion tons, or 124,000 bar­rels a day. . . .”

6. One of the fac­tors that makes the Fischer-Tropsch process prac­ti­cal in this day and age is the fact that the price of oil has risen so much. The oil price rise, in turn, stems largely from the increase in vio­lence in the Mid­dle East. As dis­cussed in FTR#’s 560, 561, that increase in the price of oil is one of the most pro­found political/economic phe­nom­ena of mod­ern times, effect­ing a world-wide trans­fer of wealth from vir­tu­ally every­one and every­thing into the cof­fers of the most foul indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions in the world. “Oil prices rose yes­ter­day when ten­sions with Iran esca­lated after the Islamic Republic’s cap­ture of 15 UK Royal Navy sailors. The inci­dent comes at an impor­tant moment in the stand-off between Iran and the West over its nuclear ambi­tions. The US has sent a sec­ond air­craft car­rier to the Per­sian Gulf, and the Iran­ian navy has started a week of naval exer­cises there. Height­ened geopo­lit­i­cal ten­sions com­bined with a tight­en­ing oil mar­ket have sent oil prices to new highs for the year. Crude and petro­leum prod­uct inven­to­ries in the devel­oped world are declin­ing and US p[petrol demand is increas­ing at a stronger-than-expected pace ahead of peak sum­mer demand. . . .”

7. High­light­ing an impor­tant, though little-known aspect of the Lebanon War of 2006, the broad­cast notes that the Israeli mil­i­tary cam­paign had been long in the plan­ning. It was not a spon­ta­neous reac­tion to the kid­nap­ping of some Israeli sol­diers. The cam­paign had actu­ally been dis­cussed with jour­nal­ists before the out­break of hos­til­i­ties. Although it is not a mat­ter of focus in this descrip­tion, the bat­tle plan as described in the Israeli press called for simul­ta­ne­ous flank­ing attacks [both right and left] by heavy armor and mech­a­nized infantry, an air drop of troops along the Litani River to pre­vent resup­ply and rein­force­ment and an aer­ial assault on the Hezbol­lah lead­er­ship. Why this plan was aban­doned is a mat­ter of con­jec­ture. Some Israeli media sources have sug­gested that the orig­i­nal bat­tle plan was aban­doned at the request of the Bush admin­is­tra­tion. What­ever the case, the cur­rent Israeli admin­is­tra­tion appears to be the mil­i­tary equiv­a­lent of the Bush admin­is­tra­tion, i.e. incom­pe­tent. “Jerusalem — Israel’s mil­i­tary response by air, land and sea to what it con­sid­ered a provo­ca­tion last week by Hezbol­lah mil­i­tants is unfold­ing accord­ing to a plan final­ized more than a year ago. In the six years since Israel ended its mil­i­tary occu­pa­tion of south­ern Lebanon, it watched war­ily as Hezbol­lah built up its mil­i­tary pres­ence in the region. When Hezbol­lah mil­i­tants kid­napped two Israeli sol­diers last week, the Israeli mil­i­tary was ready to react almost instantly.’ Of all of Israel’s wars since 1948, this was the one for which Israel was most pre­pared,’ said Ger­ald Stein­berg, pro­fes­sor of polit­i­cal sci­ence at Bar-Ilan Uni­ver­sity. ‘In a sense, the prepa­ra­tion began in May 2000, imme­di­ately after the Israeli with­drawal, when it became clear the inter­na­tional com­mu­nity was not going to pre­vent Hezbol­lah from stock­pil­ing mis­siles and attack­ing Israel. By 2004, the mil­i­tary cam­paign sched­uled to last about three weeks that we’re see­ing now had already been blocked out and, in the last year or two, it’s been sim­u­lated and rehearsed across the board.’ More than a year ago, a senior Israeli army offi­cer began giv­ing Pow­er­Point pre­sen­ta­tions, on an off-the-record basis, to U.S. and other diplo­mats, jour­nal­ists and think tanks, set­ting out the plan for the cur­rent oper­a­tion in reveal­ing detail. Under the ground rules of the brief­ings, the offi­cer could not be iden­ti­fied. . . .”

8. In his dis­cus­sion of the Bor­mann cap­i­tal net­work, Mr. Emory has noted that the orga­ni­za­tion makes a point of using Jews as front men and oper­a­tives. In that con­text, the broad­cast con­cludes by not­ing that left-wing Demo­c­ra­tic Party activist and king­maker George Soros appears to have got­ten his pro­fes­sional start help­ing with the Third Reich’s appro­pri­a­tion of Jew­ish assets dur­ing the Holoaust. Is Soros a “Bor­mann Jew”?! (For more about the Bor­mann organization’s use of Jews, see—among other programs—FTR#305. For dis­cus­sion of Soros’ Quan­tum Fund and its appar­ent links to the Under­ground Reich, see FTR#576.) “ . . . One of the cen­tral play­ers in this con­certed attack has been the bil­lion­aire George Soros. Soros is an anti-Zionist Jew with a trou­bling past. Specif­i­cally, by his own admis­sion in inter­views with 60 Min­utes in 1998 and PBS in 1993, Soros col­lab­o­rated with the Nazis in seiz­ing Jew­ish prop­erty in Budapest in 1944. Author Serge Trifkovic, who is cur­rently research­ing a biog­ra­phy of Soros, tells of a Holo­caust sur­vivor in Hun­gary who claims that the rea­son Soros was allowed to remain free was ‘the boy’s spe­cial knowl­edge of the Jew­ish com­mu­nity and its attempts to pro­tect its prop­erty from con­fis­ca­tion.’ . . .”

9. Two video pro­duc­tions are being gen­er­ated by a cou­ple of doc­u­men­tary film­mak­ers. One is a DVD of a three-lecture series called “The First Refuge of a Scoundrel: The Rela­tion­ship Between Fas­cism and Reli­gion.” To learn more about this, visit The Anti-Fascist YouTube.com page. In addi­tion, there will soon be a doc­u­men­tary about Mr. Emory, titled “The Anti-Fascist.” For more about this project, visit theantifascist.com.
