Germany Keeping Eichmann Files Secret for 50 (More) Years

Com­ment: Why would this be nec­es­sary? Among the pos­si­bil­i­ties is the polit­i­cal sen­si­tiv­ity deriv­ing from past employ­ment of Eich­mann and many of his subordinates–and supe­ri­ors–by ele­ments of West­ern intel­li­gence, includ­ing U.S. and Ger­man intel­li­gence ser­vices.
The open­ing of these files would also shed light on the Under­ground Reich and its deriv­a­tive, pro­found eco­nomic and polit­i­cal relationships [...]

Muslim Gangs Dominate British Underworld

Com­ment: Under-reported is the pro­found con­nec­tion between Islamism and orga­nized crime. There is an entire chap­ter in “Dol­lars for Ter­ror” by Richard Labeviere titled “Islamist Deal-Making and Orga­nized Crime.” Our vis­its with Daniel Hop­sicker have high­lighted this link, to an extent.

FTR #689 Interview with Sterling and Peggy Seagrave

William Faulkner noted that “the past is never dead and buried. It isn’t even past.” War Gold stolen by the Japan­ese dom­i­nates the con­tem­po­rary eco­nomic land­scape; the engines of world polit­i­cal power turn in pre­ci­sion with these hid­den engines of wealth.

FTR #688 Darkness in the Vaults

Global finan­cial sys­tem pred­i­cated on tril­lions of dol­lars in wealth stolen by the Axis in WWII; “vic­to­ri­ous” allies shared in the spoils; the rule of law is totally dis­carded in order to pre­serve the sta­tus quo and the secrecy that sur­rounds it.

FTR #683 Interview (#3) with Elizabeth Gould and Paul Fitzgerald

Afghan gov­ern­ment offi­cials over­see mas­sive Afghan heroin traf­fic; the BCCI at the cen­ter of decades of intel­li­gence com­mu­nity drug traf­fick­ing in that area; U.S. may col­lapse like ancient Rome.

FTR #680 Interview [#2] with Elizabeth Gould and Paul Fitzgerald

U.S. Cold War pol­icy pro­duces slaugh­ter of mod­er­ates in Afghanistan; Pri­vate cor­po­ra­tions drive U.S. pol­icy in that coun­try and led to U.S. sup­port of Tal­iban; Tal­iban cre­ated by U.S. “ally” Pakistan.

FTR #678 Interview (#1) with Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould

U.S. lured the Sovi­ets into Afghanistan; George H.W. Bush ana­lysts pro­vide ide­o­log­i­cal base for the actions; Zbig­niew Brzezin­ski imple­ments the plan; Rea­gan cold war­riors reject Soviet with­drawal plan.
