FTR#‘s 1404, 1405, 1406, 1407: The Covid I9 “Op,” Parts 1 through 4

Intro­duc­tion: Mr. Emory has tak­en the first, longest and most impor­tant of his Covid-19 arti­cles out from behind the pay wall on his Patre­on plat­form.

Spurred by alarms that AI’s could ful­fill the pre­dic­tion Mr. Emory made in Jan­u­ary of 1995 about AI’s exter­mi­nat­ing human­i­ty by cre­at­ing virus­es; a thought exper­i­ment by the bril­liant Michael Oster­holm in which he spec­u­lates about a new, glob­al pan­dem­ic and, once again, looks to bat caves in Chi­na (sigh).

FTR#‘s 1400, 1401, 1402, 1403: What Does the “W” in George W. Bush Stand For?, Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4

Intro­duc­tion: With the ascent of Don­ald Trump to the White House (again), many peo­ple have belat­ed­ly grasped what Mr. Emory has been warn­ing about for 47 years as of the time of this writ­ing and record­ing: fas­cism has come to Amer­i­ca.
The fol­low­ing four seg­ments com­prise a lec­ture giv­en in Octo­ber of 2000. They demon­strate that fas­cism is noth­ing new to the U.S., and that it is inex­tri­ca­bly-link

FTR#‘s 1398 & 1399: Interviews with Hal Sanderson About the Sirhan Sirhan File

Intro­duc­tion: These inter­views are excerpt­ed from the fourth of four inter­views with the bril­liant Hal Sander­son on Mr. Emory’s Patre­on plat­form.

Hal presents ground-break­ing infor­ma­tion about Sirhan Sirhan’s polit­i­cal her­itage.

We should empha­size that Sirhan Sirhan did NOT kill Robert Kennedy. He was a mind-con­trolled pat­sy, a vic­tim of MK ULTRA. The Hal Sander­son research dis­clos­es the fas­cist milieu both in the U.S. and in the Mid­dle East that chan­neled Sirhan into the posi­tion in which he found him­self.

Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Sirhan’s inter­est in Theos­o­phy and Hele­na Blavatsky; Blavatsky’s Ger­man her­itage; Los Ange­les Theosophists’ attempts at deflect­ing atten­tion from them toward U.S. right-wing ele­ments in con­nec­tion with the assas­si­na­tion of RFK; The Brigham Young fam­i­ly lin­eage of Sirhan’s Cal­i­for­nia Cadet Corps com­man­der; Sirhan’s mul­ti-lin­gual abil­i­ty: he knew Ger­man, Russ­ian, Eng­lish and Ara­bic; The pos­si­bil­i­ty iden­ti­ty of the “Pol­ka-Dot Dress Girl;” Sirhan’s appar­ent youth­ful affin­i­ty for Hitler; The links between an avi­a­tion milieu, Sirhan and Gor­don Nov­el; Links between the Sirhan fam­i­ly and Mid­dle East­ern, right-wing ele­ments; Links between the assas­si­na­tion of RFK and anti-Cas­tro Cubans; Links between Jose Anto­nio Duarte and JM Wave; A pos­si­ble Sirhan con­nec­tion to a con­fronta­tion with Duarte; A pos­si­ble link between Duarte and the Gar­ri­son inves­ti­ga­tion of the JFK assas­si­na­tion; Alleged links between Duarte and peo­ple involved with bomb­ing both left-wing and right-wing orga­ni­za­tions; Evi­den­tiary trib­u­taries between the inves­ti­ga­tion into the RFK assas­si­na­tion and the Man­son “op;” Ed But­ler’s links to the JFK, RFK and Charles Man­son inves­ti­ga­tions; Sirhan’s rel­a­tives work­ing as a dri­ver for MI6 and for ESSO.

FTR#‘s 1395, 1396 & 1397: The American Elite and the Origins of The CIA, Parts 1, 2 and 3

This lec­ture delin­eates the pro­found con­nec­tions between Wall Street and U.S. intel­li­gence. Specif­i­cal­ly, the talk high­lights the dis­pro­por­tion­ate influ­ence of key Wall Street law firms upon the for­ma­tion and devel­op­ment of both the OSS (Office of Strate­gic Ser­vices), Amer­i­ca’s World War II civil­ian intel­li­gence ser­vice and its suc­ces­sor, the Cen­tral Intel­li­gence Agency. Men such as William Dono­van, Allen Dulles and Frank Wis­ner were both key intel­li­gence offi­cers and pow­er­ful Wall Street lawyers. Along with men like John Fos­ter Dulles (Allen’s broth­er and part­ner in Sul­li­van & Cromwell), Carmel Offie, William Bul­litt, George Ken­nan, Paul Nitze and James For­re­stal, they did much to shape the his­to­ry of the 20th cen­tu­ry.

The dis­cus­sion begins with the Ver­sailles Treaty con­clud­ing the First World War. Key fig­ures in the machi­na­tions of the U.S. del­e­ga­tion to the Ver­sailles nego­ti­a­tions fig­ure promi­nent­ly in the devel­op­ment of U.S. intel­li­gence and nation­al secu­ri­ty pol­i­cy for decades to fol­low. They also played a pri­ma­ry role in assist­ing the devel­op­ment of inter­na­tion­al fas­cism, before, dur­ing and after World War II. After Ver­sailles, John Fos­ter Dulles (a key mem­ber of the Amer­i­can del­e­ga­tion), act­ing as Spe­cial Coun­sel to the Dawes Com­mit­tee, helped arrange the loans that re-cap­i­tal­ized Ger­many under the Dawes Plan. Fos­ter’s promi­nent Wall Street law firm, the above-men­tioned Sul­li­van & Cromwell, prof­it­ed hand­some­ly from those loans, as well. Dulles’ broth­er Allen also prac­ticed for Sul­li­van & Cromwell.

The firms cap­i­tal­ized under the Dawes and Young plans were instru­men­tal in pro­mot­ing the rise of Hitler and cre­at­ing his war machine. Mus­soli­ni, Fran­co and Poland’s Pil­sud­s­ki were among the Euro­pean fas­cists who ben­e­fit­ed from the largesse of the Wall Street Elite.

The lec­ture high­lights the role in Amer­i­ca’s World War II intel­li­gence service–the Office of Strate­gic Services–of Allen Dulles and anoth­er promi­nent Wall Street lawyer, Frank Wis­ner. Dulles served as head of the Berne (Switzer­land) office of OSS and lat­er in Berlin after the war. In both posi­tions, Dulles inter­faced close­ly with mem­bers of the Ger­man indus­tri­al and finan­cial elite with whom he had worked while serv­ing with Sul­li­van & Cromwell. Through these con­tacts, Dulles was instru­men­tal in help­ing to pre­serve this Ger­man elite after the war.

One of Dulles’ prin­ci­pal con­tacts was Gero von Gaever­nitz, who played an impor­tant role in intro­duc­ing Ger­man spy­mas­ter Rein­hard Gehlen to the U.S. intel­li­gence oper­a­tives who proved instru­men­tal in bring­ing the gen­er­al and his orga­ni­za­tion into the Amer­i­can intel­li­gence appa­rat. The lec­ture high­lights the work for both OSS and CIA of Frank Wis­ner, a part­ner with Carter, Led­yard and Mil­burn, anoth­er pow­er­ful Wall Street Law Firm that was the coun­sel for the New York Stock Exchange. (Lat­er, when Wis­ner went to work for the CIA as Deputy Direc­tor of Cen­tral Intel­li­gence, anoth­er Deputy Direc­tor, Hard­ing Jack­son, was also a for­mer part­ner in Carter, Led­yard and Mil­burn.) Both Dulles and Wis­ner worked inti­mate­ly with the Gehlen orga­ni­za­tion when the ex-OSS duo “grad­u­at­ed” to posts with the CIA.

The lec­ture delin­eates John Fos­ter Dulles’ role as Sec­re­tary of State under Eisen­how­er, when Allen was Direc­tor of the CIA. George Ken­nan was the author of the “con­tain­ment strat­e­gy,” a key ele­ment of Amer­i­can Cold War pol­i­cy. As a diplo­mat serv­ing in Moscow pri­or to World War II, Ken­nan became an inti­mate of Gus­tav Hilger, a key Third Reich diplo­mat who worked for the US after World War II.

Lec­ture High­lights Include: dis­cus­sion of OSS chief William Dono­van’s role as an anti-Bol­she­vik emis­sary of Amer­i­can indus­tri­al­ist J.P. Mor­gan in the 1920’s; Dono­van’s work as a key Wall Street lawyer pri­or to the war; Paul Nitze and James For­re­stal’s work for Dil­lon, Read (deeply involved in fund­ing the Third Reich); Nitze’s and For­re­stal’s post-war role as anti-com­mu­nist cru­saders; the role of Sir William Stephen­son in devel­op­ing the OSS (Stephen­son was Britain’s pri­ma­ry spy­mas­ter in the Amer­i­c­as dur­ing World War II); Stephen­son’s alliance with key Mor­gan asso­ciate Edward Stet­tinius; the role of Ian Flem­ing (the author of the James Bond nov­els) in aid­ing Stephen­son’s intel­li­gence work in the U.S.

FTR#1394 Political Assassination and the Rise of the German Nazi Party

Intro­duc­tion: Before get­ting into the main part of the pro­gram, we revis­it an impor­tant ele­ment first intro­duced in FTR#913.

With Direc­tor of Nation­al Intel­li­gence Tul­si Gab­bard and Anna Pauli­na Luna giv­ing cre­dence to the “Aliens are among us” non­sense, it is impor­tant to bear in mind that the CIA was devel­op­ing “fly­ing saucers” in the 1960’s.

Anna Pauli­na Luna is out­do­ing her­self, opin­ing that law­mak­ers have infor­ma­tion about “inter­di­men­sion­al beings.”

This is sav­age­ly rem­i­nis­cent of sci­ence fic­tion movies on Trump’s stream­ing media out­let that are pre­sent­ed as “fact.”

As the Trump regime has tight­ened its grip, many observers have offered (for the most part) pro­found­ly unin­formed analy­ses of fas­cism. In this pro­gram, we revis­it the gen­e­sis of Ger­man Nazism and the process through which under­cov­er Ger­man mil­i­tary intel­li­gence agent Adolf Hitler came to pow­er.

Hitler did not “hyp­no­tize” the Ger­man pub­lic. He rose to pow­er as the result of a sys­tem­at­ic pro­gram of polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion. This was fol­lowed by the delib­er­ate intro­duc­tion of the mil­i­tary into Ger­man soci­ety to foment reac­tion.

The bulk of the pro­gram fea­tures mate­r­i­al record­ed in June of 1984, set­ting forth this his­to­ry.
We should note that the descrip­tion for the pro­gram fea­tures an impor­tant exam­ple of Trans-Atlantic net­work­ing. In 1923, future O.S.S. chief William “Wild Bill” Dono­van met with Ger­man mil­i­tary intel­li­gence agent Adolf Hitler.

FTR#‘s 1391, 1392, 1393: Interview with Tom O’Neill (Author of “Chaos”) and Hal Sanderson, Parts 1, 2 and 3

Intro­duc­tion: These pro­grams are excerpt­ed from an inter­view on Dav­e’s Patre­on plat­form on June 18, 2025. In addi­tion to Tom O’Neill, the bril­liant author of Chaos, the pro­grams fea­ture the inci­sive com­men­tary of Hal Sander­son, a bril­liant researcher in his own right. These pro­grams sup­ple­ment Dav­e’s pre­vi­ous pro­grams on Chaos. FTR#1085, FTR#1163, FTR# ‘s 1164 and 1165

FTR#‘s 1388, 1389 and 1390 The Future: Technology Theocracy and The Thousand-Year Reich, Parts 1, 2 and 3

First, the dis­cus­sion focus­es on the con­flict between cor­po­rate prof­its and both sub­stan­tial wages and ben­e­fits and strong envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion pol­i­cy. This con­flict results in an ele­ment of cog­ni­tive dis­so­nance on the part of most peo­ple (who must work for a liv­ing.) In order to max­i­mize prof­it, dis­com­fort must be cor­re­spond­ing­ly max­i­mized as well.

Human behav­ior is dic­tat­ed large­ly by two prin­ci­ples that psy­chol­o­gists call the plea­sure prin­ci­ple and the real­i­ty prin­ci­ple. In a nut­shell: peo­ple do what makes them feel good. When they feel bad, they must alter their envi­ron­ment in such a way as to remove the dis­com­fort. They can either change their exter­nal envi­ron­ment or their inter­nal envi­ron­ment. Polit­i­cal action, labor and envi­ron­men­tal orga­niz­ing would cer­tain­ly bring change that would relieve social and envi­ron­men­tal dis­tress. That is not as prof­itable as hold­ing down wages and prof­its. Prof­its can be max­i­mized if peo­ple can be made to alter their inter­nal envi­ron­ment in such a way as to endure or even enjoy dis­com­fort (what Mr. Emory refers to as learn­ing “to enjoy sit­ting on a tack.”)

There are a vari­ety of ways of get­ting peo­ple to attempt this. If they are ine­bri­at­ed on drugs or alco­hol, their pain will be atten­u­at­ed (at least tem­porar­i­ly) and their will to resist blunt­ed. In this con­text, opi­um would be “the reli­gion of the peo­ple.” The real thing might be even bet­ter.

The analy­sis cen­ters on a soci­ety in which peo­ple would be made into “true believ­ers,” through a com­bi­na­tion of total­i­tar­i­an polit­i­cal con­trol and tech­no­log­i­cal­ly-rein­forced fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gion. Denom­i­na­tion­al affil­i­a­tion of sub­ject nations and indi­vid­u­als may well remain diverse, but the foun­da­tion and source of polit­i­cal pow­er would be tremen­dous­ly pow­er­ful, tech­no­log­i­cal­ly sophis­ti­cat­ed mil­i­tary weapons of mass destruc­tion. Most impor­tant­ly, the very exis­tence of these weapons would be unknown to the vast major­i­ty of peo­ple. An admin­is­tra­tive elite would exer­cise polit­i­cal pow­er. This elite would be reli­gious, polit­i­cal and mil­i­tary in nature — Mr. Emory char­ac­ter­izes them as “priest-spies.” They would have at least lim­it­ed knowl­edge of the pre­vail­ing mil­i­tary tech­nol­o­gy, as well as advanced tac­ti­cal knowl­edge of its appli­ca­tion.

Their “parish­ioners,” on the oth­er hand, would see (and would be encour­aged and oblig­at­ed to see) the dev­as­tat­ing appli­ca­tion of the destruc­tive tech­nol­o­gy as “mir­a­cles.” Groups or indi­vid­u­als who devi­at­ed from the pre­scribed path would be pun­ished with the tech­nol­o­gy and this, again, would be seen by a naive pop­u­lace as ret­ri­bu­tion by some super­nat­ur­al enti­ty. (It should be not­ed that New Age reli­gions are by no means immune to this kind of exploita­tion and seduc­tion by fas­cist ele­ments.)

Weapons tech­nol­o­gy that might be involved would include genet­i­cal­ly-engi­neered micro-organ­isms (“the plagues of Egypt”), Tes­la tech­nol­o­gy to cause earth­quakes or alter the weath­er (“God’s pun­ish­ment on the wicked”), long dis­tance mind-con­trol tech­niques involv­ing elec­tro­mag­net­ic radi­a­tion (“the Voice of the Lord”). (Note: this lec­ture was giv­en before infor­ma­tion about Project HAARP became pub­lic.) In L‑1 evi­dence is pre­sent­ed that so-called “fly­ing saucers” are real and do not come from out­er space. They are advanced aero­nau­ti­cal devices, whose devel­op­ment began with pro­to­types flown by the Ger­mans dur­ing the clos­ing stages of World War II. They were fur­ther devel­oped by the West­ern Allies in the years after the war. There is also sub­stan­tial evi­dence of attempts by ele­ments of the intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty to cre­ate belief in space aliens. With this in mind, Mr. Emory dis­cuss­es the pos­si­ble uses of “UFOs” and “aliens” in the fas­cist tech­no-theoc­ra­cy described above.

FTR#1384 The Joshua Haldeman, Part 4

Intro­duc­tion: Although not about Josua Halde­man (Musk’s grand­fa­ther), per se, this pro­gram flesh­es out how main­stream media out­lets are sourc­ing some of the most out­landish b.s. about space aliens hav­ing vis­it­ed us, yad­da yad­da yad­da.

This mate­r­i­al is to be con­sid­ered against the back­ground of Halde­man, the search for “ancient civ­i­liza­tions,” Apartheid South Africa as a direct exten­sion of the NSDAP (the Nazi par­ty under Hitler) and the prep­ping of the pub­lic for “ET Con­tact” b.s.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Review of “The Nine;” Review of Joshua Halde­man’s “Lost Civilization/White Suprema­cist” ide­ol­o­gy; The fact that all of this orig­i­nates with the tabloid The Week­ly World News!

FTR#1383 The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 3

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing analy­sis of the ide­ol­o­gy of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther and a major ide­o­log­i­cal influ­ence on him and, appar­ent­ly, “Team Trump.”

An ide­o­log­i­cal fas­cist and anti-Semi­te, Halde­man decamped to South Africa and became a minor lumi­nary in the Apartheid gov­ern­ment, a direct off­shoot of the Ger­man Nazi Par­ty under Hitler.

Halde­man also became obsessed with find­ing an alleged lost city in the Kala­hari Desert that he felt beto­kened a “white civ­i­liza­tion” in South­ern Africa.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Halde­man’s mem­ber­ship in the tech­no­fas­cist Tech­noc­ra­cy move­ment, sim­i­lar in many ways to the ide­olo­gies of Cur­tis Yarvin and Ben­i­to Mus­soli­ni; His mem­ber­ship in anoth­er neo-fas­cist polit­i­cal par­ty, the “Socre­ds;” Halde­man’s praise in an arti­cle in Die Trans­valer, a paper edit­ed by Hen­rik Voer­ster, a Broeder­bond mem­ber whose paper laud­ed the Third Reich; Halde­man’s shift­ing of blame for the Sharpsville mas­sacre to the “Inter­na­tion­al Financiers;” Halde­man’s book tar­get­ing manda­to­ry vac­cines and flu­o­ri­da­tion of the water as part of a vast “Inter­na­tion­al Con­spir­a­cy” against health; The sim­i­lar­i­ties between Halde­man’s ide­ol­o­gy and that of Brain­worm Bob­by (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.); Halde­man’s rec­om­mend­ed read­ing, which includes books by G.K. Chester­ton, the head of the Union of British Fas­cists, found­ed by Oswald Mose­ley, whose grand­son Louis heads up the UK branch of Apartheid cham­pi­on Peter Thiel’s Palan­tir firm.
