This broadcast is the second of several programs reviewing and highlighting material first presented in early 1993, featuring the landmark research of Fara Mansoor, a heroic, longtime member of the Iranian resistance. Usually, the term “October Surprise” refers to an allege deal between the Reagan/Bush campaign and the Khomeini regime in Iran to withhold the U.S. hostages taken from the American Embassy until after Jimmy Carter’s humiliation and consequent election defeat were assured. Fara’s research goes farther and deeper, suggesting that the CIA learned of the Shah’s cancer in 1974 (from former CIA director Richard Helms), withheld the information from Jimmy Carter, installed Khomeini’s Islamic fundamentalists as an anti-communist bulwark on the Soviet Union’s Southern flank and then micro-managed the hostage crisis to insure the ascension of the Reagan/Bush/Casey forces. What has become known as the Iran-Contra Scandal was an outgrowth of this dynamic. In this program we present analysis of the first phase(s) of the operation, noting that former CIA director Richard Helms learned of the Shah’s cancer in 1975 from General Hossein Fardoust. Withholding this information from President Carter, the CIA fed the administration disinformation asserting that the Shah’s reign well into the 1980’s was assured. Meanwhile, the Agency was maneuvering to install Khomeini as a bulwark against the left, and, as we shall see, a vehicle to destabilize the Carter administration and guarantee the victory of the Reagan/Bush team in the 1980 elections. Program Highlights Include: the presence in Iran in April of 1978 of George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher; the long association of the Shah-to-be, Richard Helms and General Hossein Fardoust dating to their days together in a Swiss boarding school; Carter’s “Halloween massacre” in which he fired some 800 CIA covert operators, who coalesced as part of the Bush team that installed Khomeini and the fundamentalists in power.
Introduction: Donald Trump has appointed Sebastian Gorka as his “terroism czar” on the National Security Council. Gorka not only appears to have links to British intelligence, but ” . . . . Gorka was, apparently, a sworn member of Hungary’s neo-Nazi Vitezi Rend, or ‘Order of Heroes,’ a group that the State Department says was ‘under the direction of the Nazi Government of Germany during World War II’ and which continues to be neo-Nazi in its orientation. . . .”
With Gorka poised to direct any U.S. response to terrorism, clouds on the horizon suggest the possibility of a looming mass-casualty “False-Flag” operation, possibility in London. This is highly unappetizing.
Topics of Discussion and Analysis Include: Gorka’s father Paul, who participated in the 1956 Hungarian uprising and claims he was sprung from prison by Vietezi Rend forces; Sebastian Gorka’s links to British intelligence and Chris Donnelly; A “warning” by the head of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency (MI5) that Russia was fomenting terrorist incidents in the West; The allegation that webcams in London went black in September (IF true, a harbinger of false-flag operations?); Analysis of the “Novichok poisoning” of the Skirpals–a false-flag operation blamed on Russia and executed by British intel, apparently with CIA assistance.
Introduction: With the GOP targeting Social Security (implemented by FDR), the historical and cognitive discrediting of the New Deal has featured a fascistic revisionist history of Pearl Harbor.
Maintaining that Roosevelt deliberately let the attack proceed to bring the U.S. into World War II, this revisionism paints FDR as a traitor.
In this meticulously-researched and documented presentation, we not only refute this historical slander and revisionism, but demonstrate conclusively that Admiral Kimmel [in charge of Naval forces in Hawaii] and (perhaps to a lesser extent) General Short [in charge of Army forces in Hawaii] bear responsibility for the failure.
Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The revisionist conspiracy theories about Pearl Harbor, blaming FDR, Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Chief-of-Staff George C. Marshall among others for the failure of the military high command at Pearl Harbor; Major Henry Clausen’s pouch featuring a magnesium bomb to carry the decrypted messages from the Japanese Purple Code (a diplomatic code that was broken by U.S. intelligence personnel); The secure office in which Henry C. Clausen worked; The Army Board’s self-serving scapegoating of Chief-of-Staff Marshall; Three of the officers on the Army Board had been demoted by General Marshall; Among the shills attacking FDR was GOP Senator (from Michigan) Homer Ferguson, exposed as a propagandizing fool by Major Clausen; 1944 GOP Presidential Candidate Thomas Dewey was among those who pointed the accusing finger at FDR for deliberately allowing the attack to proceed; Warning on 1/24/41 of “a surprise attack upon the fleet or the naval base at Pearl Harbor. The dangers envisaged, in order of their importance and probability, are considered to be (1) air bombing attack, (2) air torpedo plane attack, (3) sabotage, (4) submarine attack . . . .’ ”; A message sent to Admiral Kimmel and seen by General Short–“The dispatch sent by the Chief of Naval Operations to Kimmel began with the fateful words ‘THIS DISPATCH IS TO BE CONSIDERED A WAR WARNING . . . . “; After noting that the U.S. had broken the Japanese Purple Code (a diplomatic code) ” . . . . Washington knew from reading these messages that war would have to break out, with Japan attacking somewhere in the Pacific. Therefore, the Navy in Washington alerted Kimmel on December 3 by sending two advisory messages that paraphrased the intercepts . . . . War had to follow; it was inevitable. . . .”; GOP shill Ferguson’s attempts to deflect blame toward Roosevelt: ” . . . . ‘But that was never sent to Kimmel and Short, was it?’ ‘It certainly was,’ I [Clausen] replied. I had him stone cold dead. . . .”; The Hawaiian newspapers had ample warning of the potential attacks to come; FDR knew that the intercepted messages meant that war was inevitable; Churchill and British intelligence knew that the intercepts meant that war was coming and alerted the U.S.; The role of the Bletchley Park codebreakers in communicating (to no avail) the Japanese imminent attack; The participation of one of those codebreakers–the late Colonel Harry Beckhough–on Mr. Emory’s website; Discussion of the U.S.S. Antares, the destroyer U.S.S. Ward and the warning they provided to Admiral Kimmel–to no avail; The attack on Pearl Harbor and the role in it played by General Minoru Genda, the eventual head of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, and the recipient of a medal from the U.S. Air Force; The performance characteristics of the aircraft carriers in the Pacific and the battleships in Pearl Harbor; The leak of the U.S. Navy’s code-breaking secret to the Japanese via the Chicago Tribune and its FDR-hating publisher Robert McCormick; The commencement of the Golden Lily operation with the Rape of Nanking in 1937; The fact that the breaking of the Japanese code informed the U.S. of the nature of the cargo of their ships, possibly informing today of the position of sunken Golden Lily treasure.
Introduction: Once again, Mr. Emory’s brilliant new co-host Monte graces us with his on-air presence.
These programs examine the career and activities of Spas T. Raikin, the Secretary General of the Friends of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. Raikin was the man who met the Oswalds upon their return from the Soviet Union.
NB: More complete information about the sources used in this program will be available presently in the comments section for this program.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The ABN’s origin as “The Committee of Subjugated Nations” when it was formed by Adolf Hitler in 1943; The direct links between Raikin, the assassination of JFK and the Ukraine War going on today; Raikin’s work for the CIA; Raikin’s work as an “interrogator” working for CIA in Greece during that country’s civil war in the immediate aftermath of World War II; Raikin’s work for the Bulgarian National Front; Raikin’s work for the CIA; The Bulgarian National Front’s links to the GOP; Analysis of Raikin as a potentially dangerous fascist; The DRE and the Ukrainian fascist links to the disruption of the Helsinki Socialist Youth Conference; Gloria Steinem’s participation in that disruption.
Updating the Ukraine war, this program highlights a number of considerations: The phenomenon of “Astroturfing” to generate increased support for the war; the casting of a Belarus veteran of the Nazi Azov formations as a political martyr; the western regime-change institutions’ support for such persons; the New York Times’ shifting coverage about Nazis in Ukraine; Russian warning at the U.N. in October of 2022 about Ukraine’s plans to blow up the Nova Khakovka dam; Washington Post’s December, 2022, article about Ukraine’s trial assaults on the dam; examination of the distinct possibility that a British Storm Shadow missile was used to blow up the dam.
There’s blood in the water. With regional banks potentially looking at years of trouble ahead and interest rates well above the historic lows, distress is permeating the US commercial real estate (CRE) markets. That’s been the CRE news, with the private equity now palpably excited about all the distressed real estate that’s bound to come on the market. A supply and demand dislocation that can turn blood in water into a gold laced silver lining for the entities with cash on the sidelines. As we’ve seen, being the ‘cash on the sidelines’ opportunistically waiting for things to fall apart or blow is a big part of the ‘Heads we win, tails you lose’ private equity business model. A business model also rooted in the fact that the fund managers charge high fees whether they’re investments pan out or not. So we shouldn’t be surprised to learn that one of the big investment opportunities private equity has been steering billions of dollars of public pension money into in recent years is...*drumroll*...commercial real estate! With plans on shoveling billions more into the sector going forward. JP Morgan is now predicting these pension funds are going to create a ‘floor’ in the CRE markets. Yes, private equity-led pension funds are going to save the CRE market from complete collapse. At least that’s the plan. A plan that’s going to pay its private equity managers handsomely no matter how it pans out. It’s all part of how American’s growing retirement crisis is translating into private equity’s growing opportunity. The kind of crisis-driven opportunity that pays handsomely whether the underlying crisis grows or not.
Updating coverage of the Ukraine war, the title of this series comes from the late, brilliant political comedian Mort Sahl’s 1976 autobiography Heartland. Mort Sahl was one of Jim Garrison’s investigators in the New Orleans DA’s investigation of the assassination of JFK.
The program begins with discussion of a powerful economic motive for baiting Russia into the Ukraine war–creating a pretext for obliging Europe and Germany to forego use of the Nordstream 2 pipeline and sever the EU from consumption of Russian natural gas.
” . . . . The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: ‘If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.’ The problem is to create a suitably offensive incident and depict Russia as the aggressor. . . .”
In FTR#1245, we detailed Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud’s analysis of Ukraine’s impending assault on the ethnically and linguistically Russian population of Eastern Ukraine and Biden’s signing off on that operation in order to realize American and Western European goals.
Next, we present an oblique, possibly very significant element. A Foreign Policy article discussing a forbearer of EU president Ursula Von Der Leyen’s who was a key Third Reich official in Galicia (Western Ukraine).
It appears that Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen was a member of the prominent silk merchant family into which Ursula married.
Conventional family trees make no mention of him: ” . . . . Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen ( September 28, 1897 in Haus Meer , Büderich (Meerbusch) ; † 1945 in Dresden ) was a German lawyer and administrative official who worked as a district administrator in the occupied countries of Czechoslovakia and Poland during the National Socialist period and as a district captain of the district of Galicia was involved in the organization of the Holocaust. Von der Leyen comes from the von der Leyen family of silk barons in Krefeld. . . .”
Next, we highlight the ongoing lionization of Ukrainian Nazi and fascist elements in the mainstream U.S. press.
A long spread in the Sunday New York Times beatifies the Nazi Azov Regiment, the chief Ukrainian unit defending the Azovstal steel works.
Another NYT piece presents a heroic portrayal of a Ukrainian saboteur from the Nazi/fascist Azov and Right Sector units: ” . . . . Before the war, Svarog occasionally joined weekend training with Right Sector and National Corps, a branch of the Azov movement, both of which are aligned with paramilitary units in Ukraine. . . .”
The elevation of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists by the U.S. is exemplified by a Pentagon-sponsored athletic competition: ” . . . .This August, during the Department of Defense’s annual Warrior Games at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarded a Ukrainian military veteran named Ihor Halushka the ‘Heart of the Team’ award for ‘inspiring his team’ with his ‘personal example.’ Halushka happens to have been a member of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which has been armed by the US and integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard. . . . Perhaps the most famous Ukrainian Warrior Games participant is Yulia Palevska, who the New York Times has dubbed ‘a symbol of Ukrainian bravery and self-sacrifice.’. . . . Yulia Palevska and Ihor Halushka were members of the fascist Right Sector organization and Azov Battalion, respectively. . . .”
Next, we further develop Ukraine’s enemies/death list, noting the experience of former Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
Joining Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Henry Kissinger on the list, several of the members of which have been murdered, Ritter notes the presence of OUN/B youth camps in this country, possible breeding grounds for assassins.
Furthermore, Ritter correctly locates those OUN/B youth camps in the political continuum stretching from the Third Reich, through the Cold War, up to today—a continuum inextricably linked with the Gehlen organization.
“ . . . . I had to drive past Ellenville, a sleepy little town that is home to a camp belonging to the Ukrainian American Youth Association which, every summer, coordinates with the Organization for the Defense of Four Freedoms of Ukraine to hold a ‘Heroes’ Holiday’ honoring veteran of the Ukrainian People’s Army and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. . . . That a monument to men responsible for genocidal mass murder and who, in the case of two of them (Shukhevych and Bandera) openly collaborated with Nazi Germany, could be erected in the United States is disturbing. [NB—Konovalets cooperated with the Third Reich as well, D.E.] That every year Ukrainian-American adherents of the odious ideology of Stepan Bandera gather to celebrate his legacy at a “children’s camp” where the youth are arrayed in brown uniforms that make them look like what they, in fact, are — ideological storm troopers for a hateful neo-Nazi ideology that promotes the racial superiority of the Ukrainian people, is a national abomination. . . . Bandera has been elevated to the status of a national hero in Ukraine, and his birthday is considered a national holiday. . . . The legacy of Stepan Bandera is at the very heart of what passes for Ukrainian nationalism today. It dominates the political arena inside Ukraine, where all competing political ideology and affiliations have been outlawed by President Volodymyr Zelensky. . . .”
In FTR #907, we noted the profound presence of the Ukrainian fascists in the United States, as well as their operational connections to the Third Reich. In FTR #1072, we noted the Ukrainian youth cadre in the U.S., and its affiliation with the OUN/B milieu in Ukraine.
Our next item out these connections, noting:
1. The CYM organization and its presence in the U.S.
2. The decisive involvement of post-World War II emigres in the growth of that movement.
3. CYM’s close affiliation with the OUN/B.
4. CYM’s uniformed, military orientation: ” . . . . Among the most popular activities are military-style games where campers are divided into two teams that have to dodge or capture their opponents by moving stealthily and organizing ambushes. . . . .”
Further solidifying the continuity between the Third Reich, the Gehlen Org and the GOP, we note that, while it was the BND (the intelligence service of the Federal Republic) the “Org” was financing the Eastern European fascist groups that encompassed the CYM camps in the U.S.
Our programs conclude with excerpts of another interview with Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud.
For the edification of the reader, we present the full text of the interview here.
In the program, we note Ukraine’s “mirror imaging” of the political and military aspects of the war, representing Ukrainian atrocities and war crimes as Russian.
In turn, Western media slavishly report the Ukrainian propaganda as fact, a dynamic Mr. Emory has cited as cementing the Nazification of America, begun during the closing stages of World War II.
Baud cites Ukrainian operations behind Russian lines: “ . . . . This is a terrorist campaign targeting pro-Russian Ukrainian personalities and officials. It follows major changes in the leadership of the SBU, in Kiev, and in the regions, including Lvov, Ternopol since July. It is probably in the context of this same campaign that Darya Dugina was assassinated on August 21. The objective of this new campaign could be to convey the illusion that there is an ongoing resistance in the areas taken by the Russians and thus revive Western aid, which is starting to fatigue. These sabotage activities do not really have an operational impact and seem more related to a psychological operation. It may be that these are actions like the one on Snake Island at the beginning of May, intended to demonstrate to the international public that Ukraine is acting. What the incidents in Crimea indirectly show is that the popular resistance claimed by the West in February does not exist. . . .”
Colonel Baud also highlights Ukraine’s shelling of the Zaporihizia Nuclear Power Plant: “ . . . . By bombing the plant, Ukraine could also be trying to pressure the West to intervene in the conflict, under the pretext that Russia is seeking to disconnect the plant from the Ukrainian power grid before the fall. This suicidal behavior—as stated by UN Secretary General António Guterres—would be in line with the war waged by Ukraine since 2014. There is strong evidence that the attacks on Energodar are Ukrainian. The fragments of projectiles fired at the site from the other side of the Dnieper are of Western origin. It seems that they come from British BRIMSTONE missiles, which are precision missiles, whose use is monitored by the British. Apparently, the West is aware of the Ukrainian attacks on the ZNPP. This might explain why Ukraine is not very supportive of an international commission of inquiry and why Western countries are putting unrealistic conditions for sending investigators from the IAEA, an agency that has not shown much integrity so far. . . .”
Colonel Baud sums up the role of terror central to the Nazified Ukrainian regime, parroted by Western MSM: “ . . . . Ukrainian crimes were beginning to be revealed on social networks, and on 27 March Zelensky feared that this would jeopardize Western support. This was followed—rather opportunely—by the Bucha massacre on 3 April, the circumstances of which remain unclear. Britain, which then had the chairmanship of the UN Security Council, refused three times the Russian request to set up an international commission of enquiry into the crimes of Bucha. Ukrainian socialist MP Ilya Kiva revealed on Telegram that the Bucha tragedy was planned by the British MI6 special services and implemented by the SBU. The fundamental problem is that the Ukrainians have replaced the ‘operational art’ with brutality. . . .”
Western intelligence agencies–American in particular–appear to be recapitulating “Operation Cyclone” in Ukraine. That operation involved the training and operational insertion of Islamists into Afghanistan in that country’s war against the Soviet Union. “Cyclone 2” entails the use of Nazi/White Supremacist combatants in a clandestine effort against Russia in Ukraine. An important article from “The Gray Zone” reiterates the warning sounded here for years agout the “blowback” this will be having in the U.S. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory’s 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
Continuing our coverage of the Ukraine War, we note Gennadiy Druzenko–the head of Ukraine’s Military Medical Service– and his order to castrate all Russian POW’s.
Can you imagine the media uproar if the head of Russia’s military medical branch gave an order to castrate all Ukrainian POW’s?
The program begins with a synoptic, telescoped view of the OUN/B, a key component of the Gehlen “Org,” itself a front for the Odessa–the Nazi SS postwar operational underground.

” . . . . His [Gehlen’s] FHO was connected in this role with a number of secret fascist organizations in the countries to Germany’s east. These included Stepan Bandera’s ‘B Faction’ of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN/B),15Romania’s Iron Guard,16 the Ustachis of Yugoslavia,17 the Vanagis of Latvia. . . . The military intelligence historian Colonel William Corson put it most succinctly, ‘Gehlen’s organization was designed to protect the Odessa Nazis. It amounts to an exceptionally well-orchestrated diversion.’. . .”
The discussion accesses a post Mr. Emory crafted in November of 2015.
Pravy Sektor associate Valentyn Nalyvaichenko had been the head of the SBU (Ukrainian intelligence service) since the Maidan Coup, up until his ouster in June of 2015. Not surprisingly, he had operated the organization along the lines of the OUN/B.
Previously, he had served in that same capacity under Viktor Yuschenko, seeing the outfit as a vehicle for rewriting Ukraine’s history in accordance with the historical revisionism favored by the OUN/B.
Very close to Pravy Sektor head Dymitro Yarosh, Nalyvaichenko employed Yarosh while serving in the Ukrainian parliament. Yarosh claims that the two collaborated on “anti-terrorist” operations conducted against ethnic Russians.
Bear in mind that the SBU has been the “cognitive window” through which the events in Ukraine have been processed.
The “serial,” cascading amalgamation of Ukrainian fascist national security elements is exemplified by Anton Geraschenko, the spelling of whose name varies. A key operative of the Azov milieu, he not only shepherded “Profexer,” the alleged mastermind of the DNC “hack,” but may well have been a principal behind the “PropOrNot” list of journalists who were “unacceptable” to the establishment in Ukraine (see below.)
Of paramount importance as well is the role of the SBU, networking with the various OUN/B successor organizations in perpetrating terror against the Ukrainian population.
Do not fail to note former SBU director Nalyvaichenko’s links to the CIA and to the U.S., via the George W. Bush administration.
The fawning Western coverage of the Ukraine War may be seen through the lens of Zelensky’s “Total War” declaration: ” . . . . While Western media homes in on Russian human rights violations at home and inside Ukraine, the Ukrainian government has authorized a propaganda campaign known as ‘Total War’ that includes the planting of bogus images and false stories to further implicate Russia. . . .”
The OUN/B milieu in the U.S. has apparently been instrumental in generating disinformation vis a vis alleged “Russian” disinformation in U.S. media.
Note that the PropOrNot group may well be an extension of Anton Geraschenko’s Myrotvotets hacker/journalist intimidation group.
” . . . One PropOrNot tweet, dated November 17, invokes a 1940s Ukrainian fascist salute “Heroiam Slava!!”[17] to cheer a news item on Ukrainian hackers fighting Russians. The phrase means ‘Glory to the heroes’ and it was formally introduced by the fascist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) at their March-April 1941 congress in Nazi occupied Cracow, as they prepared to serve as Nazi auxiliaries in Operation Barbarossa. . . . ‘the OUN‑B introduced another Ukrainian fascist salute at the Second Great Congress of the Ukrainian Nationalists in Cracow in March and April 1941. This was the most popular Ukrainian fascist salute and had to be performed according to the instructions of the OUN‑B leadership by raising the right arm ‘slightly to the right, slightly above the peak of the head’ while calling ‘Glory to Ukraine!’ (Slava Ukraїni!) and responding ‘Glory to the Heroes!’ (Heroiam Slava!). . . .”
Was “Team Geraschenko” involved in the smearing of Robert Parry, who was defamed by the PropOrNot group?
” . . . . The website, ‘Myrotvorets’ [43] or ‘Peacemaker’—was set up by Ukrainian hackers working with state intelligence and police, all of which tend to share the same ultranationalist ideologies as Parubiy and the newly-appointed neo-Nazi chief of the National Police. . . . The website is designed to frighten and muzzle journalists from reporting anything but the pro-nationalist party line, and it has the backing of government officials, spies and police—including the SBU (Ukraine’s successor to the KGB), the powerful Interior Minister Avakov and his notorious far-right deputy, Anton Geraschenko [closely associated with the Azov Battalion].
“Ukraine’s journalist blacklist website—operated by Ukrainian hackers working with state intelligence—led to a rash of death threats against the doxxed journalists, whose email addresses, phone numbers and other private information was posted anonymously to the website. Many of these threats came with the wartime Ukrainian fascist salute: ‘Slava Ukraini!’ [Glory to Ukraine!] So when PropOrNot’s anonymous ‘researchers’ reveal only their Ukrainian(s) identity, it’s hard not to think about the spy-linked hackers who posted the deadly ‘Myrotvorets’ blacklist of ‘treasonous’ journalists. . . .”
Parry subsequently died of a fast-acting case of cancer.
Anton Geraschenko was also involved in handling “Profexer”–the dubious alleged crafter of the [outdated] software allegedly used in the alleged “hack” of the DNC.
“One nation under God.” It’s a familiar phrase for modern Americans. But how about the phrase “One nation under God, and one religion under God”? That was the call recently made by Michael Flynn. As we’re going to see, Flynn wasn’t just speaking for fellow theocrats when he called for an end to the separation of church and state. He was voicing the views of some of the most powerful lobbies operating in DC. Groups like the Council for National Policy (CNP) that represent the merger of corporate (Koch) and theocratic interests. A network that for all practical purposes is the Republican Party’s oligarch establishment, pushing a theocratic agenda with a goal of not just conferring special rights for Christians but effectively ending democracy itself. Because as we’re also going to see, just as you can’t separate the GOP establishment from the theocratic CNP, you can’t separate the GOP’s party-wide push to overturn the 2020 election results from the CNP either. The death of representative democracy in the US is very much a ‘God’-ordained project.
