We begin by exam­in­ing the activ­i­ties of a key McCain advi­sor con­duct­ed on behalf of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church of Rev­erend Sun Myung Moon. As dis­cussed in—among oth­er programs—FTR#291, Moon’s Uni­fi­ca­tion Church appears to be an exten­sion of the Japan­ese patri­ot­ic soci­eties around the world and a pro­jec­tion of the soci­eties for­ward through the decades. The Japan­ese patri­ot­ic soci­eties were the pri­ma­ry vehi­cle for bring­ing fas­cism to Japan, a feat accom­plished large­ly through polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion. Next, the broad­cast sets forth the pos­si­bil­i­ty that Deb­o­rah Jean Palfrey—the madam of a polit­i­cal­ly con­nect­ed Wash­ing­ton D.C. call girl ring—was mur­dered. Louisiana Repub­li­can David Vit­ter was among the reput­ed clients of this ring. The broad­cast high­lights the mar­ket­ing of a large amount of taint­ed meat to school lunch pro­grams by an Amer­i­can neo-Nazi. Was taint­ed meat delib­er­ate­ly direct­ed toward school lunch pro­grams that served minor­i­ty children—children of groups tar­get­ed for exter­mi­na­tion by the Nazis? Do not fail to note in this con­text that the taint­ed meat mar­ket­ed by this Nazi was direct­ed to the school lunch pro­grams dur­ing the Rea­gan admin­is­tra­tion. As dis­cussed in—among oth­er programs—FTR#465—the Rea­gan admin­is­tra­tions were a front for the Under­ground Reich. Much of the rest of the pro­gram cov­ers the return to pow­er of a fas­cist coali­tion in Italy. This coali­tion is the third gov­ern­ment in the last two decades that has been formed by for­mer P‑2 mem­ber Sil­vio Berlus­coni and Gian­fran­co Fini, the head of the Allian­za Nationale—the suc­ces­sor fas­cist par­ty to Mussolini’s black­shirts. In Turkey, sec­u­lar nation­al­ist ele­ments asso­ci­at­ed with the mil­i­tary are stir­ring once again, amid indi­ca­tions that vio­lent action and even a coup d’etat may be in the off­ing. Con­clud­ing the pro­gram, we return to the sub­ject of Karl­heinz Schreiber, the mys­te­ri­ous arms deal­er and emi­nence grise at the epi­cen­ter of the Ger­man CDU fund­ing scan­dal. Schreiber has been com­pared to P‑2 lodge head Licio Gel­li. The intri­cate, Byzan­tine CDU fund­ing scan­dal was a strat­a­gem exe­cut­ed by the Under­ground Reich.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Review of the con­nec­tion between the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood/Al-Taqwa milieu and the Berlus­coni ele­ments; com­par­i­son of the Eliot Spitzer pros­ti­tu­tion scan­dal with the Pal­frey case; review of the link between the pan-Turk­ist move­ment and the shoot­ing of the pope.

1. We begin by exam­in­ing the activ­i­ties of a key McCain advi­sor con­duct­ed on behalf of the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church of Rev­erend Sun Myung Moon. As dis­cussed in—among oth­er programs—FTR#291, Moon’s Uni­fi­ca­tion Church appears to be an exten­sion of the Japan­ese patri­ot­ic soci­eties around the world and a pro­jec­tion of the soci­eties for­ward through the decades. The Japan­ese patri­ot­ic soci­eties were the pri­ma­ry vehi­cle for bring­ing fas­cism to Japan, a feat accom­plished large­ly through polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion. “A bizarre Capi­tol Hill cer­e­mo­ny a few years ago in which the eccen­tric con­ser­v­a­tive pub­lish­er the Rev. Sun Myung Moon declared him­self the Sec­ond Com­ing was orga­nized with help from a senior advis­er to John McCain’s pres­i­den­tial cam­paign. Char­lie Black, a Wash­ing­ton lob­by­ist and McCain con­fi­dant, lent his name to the coro­na­tion cer­e­mo­ny and invit­ed a few friends, accord­ing to new­ly dis­closed e‑mails. ‘What is clear from this email is that top McCain advi­sor Char­lie Black is admit­ting that he helped plan, and would have attend­ed, an event where a con­vict­ed tax fraud would have been crowned King Of Amer­i­ca and declared him­self the Messiah–all on U.S. Gov­ern­ment fed­er­al prop­er­ty (on March 23, 2004),’ writes author Cliff Schecter, who pub­lished the e‑mails on his blog Fri­day. In the e‑mails, which were also obtained by RAW STORY, Black said he became involved because of his rela­tion­ships with exec­u­tives at the Wash­ing­ton Times, the con­ser­v­a­tive, Moon-owned news­pa­per, and its char­i­ta­ble foun­da­tion. . . .”

2. Next, the broad­cast sets forth the pos­si­bil­i­ty that Deb­o­rah Jean Palfrey—the madam of a polit­i­cal­ly con­nect­ed Wash­ing­ton D.C. call girl ring—was mur­dered. Louisiana Repub­li­can David Vit­ter was among the reput­ed clients of this ring. Mr. Emory not­ed that when a Demo­c­rat is caught patron­iz­ing hook­ers, it gains wide pub­lic­i­ty and the pros­ti­tute in ques­tion prof­its from the pub­lic­i­ty. Just exam­ine the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the recent down­fall of New York Gov­er­nor and inves­tiga­tive cru­sad­er Eliot Spitzer, as high­light­ed in FTR#630. “The death of Deb­o­rah Jean Pal­frey, also known as the D.C. Madam, con­tin­ues to be plagued by uncer­tain­ty. Among the con­spir­a­cy the­o­rists is Joe Striza­ck, the man­ag­er of Park Lake Tow­ers, an Orlan­do con­do build­ing where Pal­frey owned a unit. Striza­ck said even after read­ing Palfrey’s sui­cide let­ters, he does not believe her death was a sui­cide. . . .”

3. The broad­cast high­lights the mar­ket­ing of a large amount of taint­ed meat to school lunch pro­grams by an Amer­i­can neo-Nazi. Was taint­ed meat delib­er­ate­ly direct­ed toward school lunch pro­grams that served minor­i­ty children—children of groups tar­get­ed for exter­mi­na­tion by the Nazis? Do not fail to note in this con­text that the taint­ed meat mar­ket­ed by this Nazi was direct­ed to the school lunch pro­grams dur­ing the Rea­gan admin­is­tra­tion. As dis­cussed in—among oth­er programs—FTR#465—the Rea­gan admin­is­tra­tions were a front for the Under­ground Reich. “Ben Klassen, a for­mer Flori­da state leg­is­la­tor, formed the Church of the Cre­ator in 1973 and attacked Chris­tian­i­ty as ‘a tremen­dous weapon in the world­wide Jew­ish dri­ve of race-mix­ing.’ By the 1990s, the group was known as the World Church of the Cre­ator and had attract­ed neo-Nazis and white-suprema­cist mem­bers, includ­ing a man con­vict­ed in 1992 of the mur­der of Per­sian Gulf War vet­er­an Harold Mans­field Jr., who was black. Before Mans­field­’s fam­i­ly filed suit against the church in 1993, Klassen sold the church com­pound and head­quar­ters in North Car­oli­na and com­mit­ted sui­cide. Rudy Stanko was named supreme leader, or pon­tif­ex max­imus, by Klassen in 1990. In 1984, Stanko was con­vict­ed in Den­ver of sell­ing taint­ed meat from his pack­ing plants, includ­ing Cat­tle King in Den­ver, to a school lunch pro­gram. He sup­plied about a fourth of the ground beef for the nation’s school lunch­es. [Ital­ics are Mr. Emory’s]. . .”

4. Much of the rest of the pro­gram cov­ers the return to pow­er of a fas­cist coali­tion in Italy. This coali­tion is the third gov­ern­ment in the last two decades that has been formed by for­mer P‑2 mem­ber Sil­vio Berlus­coni and Gian­fran­co Fini, the head of the Allian­za Nationale—the suc­ces­sor fas­cist par­ty to Mussolini’s black­shirts. Mr. Emory notes the pro­found con­nec­tions between the Ital­ian fas­cists and their Islam­ic brethren in the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood and the Bank Al-Taqwa milieu. (Read more about the P‑2 Lodge and Sil­vio Berlus­coni. Read more about the Ital­ian-Mus­lim Broth­er­hood con­nec­tion.) “The death on Mon­day of a man attacked by neo-Nazis threw the spot­light on polit­i­cal mil­i­tan­cy in Italy, prompt­ing the oppo­si­tion to ask if a right-wing sweep at an April elec­tion had fed a cli­mate of intol­er­ance. The vic­tim, 29-year-old Nico­la Tom­ma­soli, final­ly suc­cumbed to his injuries and died on Mon­day after being beat­en into coma on May 1 by a group of youths iden­ti­fied by police as neo-Nazi soc­cer hooli­gans. The beat­ing, in the north­ern city of Verona, was con­demned across the polit­i­cal spec­trum; police have so far ruled out any polit­i­cal motive for what appears to be an iso­lat­ed act of vio­lence. Still, Italy’s cen­tre-left por­trayed it as a sign a grow­ing intol­er­ance in a coun­try where fears about crime — par­tic­u­lar­ly by immi­grants — con­tributed to their resound­ing defeat by the right in last mon­th’s nation­al and munic­i­pal elec­tions. The inci­dent has put right-wingers on the defen­sive over the sug­ges­tion that sup­port by mil­i­tants helped them to win the April elec­tions, includ­ing the may­or­ship of Rome. . . .”

5. More about the return to pow­er of Berlus­coni and Fini’s fas­cist coali­tion: “ . . . On the last day of April, we watched on the tel­ly the new fas­cist May­or of Rome ascend the Campi­dol­gio, gaze out over the peo­ple and the city’s impe­r­i­al past and the remain­ing signs of the Ven­ten­nio, the 20 years of Mus­solin­ian Fas­cism, and the new polit­i­cal paysage decreed by idle elec­tors who should have stayed their sandy beach instead. Stunned, we watched him fin­ger his Celtic cross and pro­nounce that he was may­or of all the Romans. Our may­or too! And down below they salute, their arms stiff in the old Roman way, the old fas­cist salute. The events this spring in Rome, in Italy, have already res­onat­ed over the west­ern world. A déja vu from those 20 fate­ful years of the dic­ta­tor Ben­i­to Mus­soli­ni that got Italy into the jam it’s in today. The restora­tion of the Fas­cists is no minor acci­dent along the way. It crowned the vic­to­ry of the Right in its New Mil­len­ni­um Ital­ian cam­paign. And what a Right! A Fas­cist Right led by Sil­vio Berlus­coni (who so recalls Mus­soli­ni), who was heard to utter these words about his vic­to­ry: ‘We’re the falange.’ . . .”

6. In Turkey, sec­u­lar nation­al­ist ele­ments asso­ci­at­ed with the mil­i­tary are stir­ring once again, amid indi­ca­tions that vio­lent action and even a coup d’etat may be in the off­ing. (For more about the sec­u­lar fas­cist move­ment in Turkey, see—among oth­er pro­grams—AFA#’s 14, 21—avail­able from Spit­fire, as well as FTR#59.) “It has the ele­ments of a thriller: a shad­owy group of right-wing for­mer sol­diers, a mafia don, extrem­ist lawyers and politi­cians; hand-grenades in a ruck­sack; plots to kill the Prime Min­is­ter and a Nobel-prize win­ning writer; alleged­ly plant­ed evi­dence and fal­si­fied wire taps. Even the name of the vil­lains — the Ergenekon net­work — has an air­port paper­back flavour, and the stakes involved are high: the sta­bil­i­ty of one of the world’s most strate­gi­cal­ly impor­tant coun­tries. This high­ly charged polit­i­cal real­i­ty is split­ting Turkey. In the com­ing days the Ergenekon inves­ti­ga­tion will reach its cli­max. Accord­ing to news­pa­per reports, a long-await­ed indict­ment will be issued by the state pros­e­cu­tor. After suc­ces­sive waves of arrests, 47 peo­ple are in cus­tody. They include senior fig­ures in the ultra-right-wing Work­ers’ Par­ty, a dozen retired senior army offi­cers, jour­nal­ists and a lawyer accused of launch­ing legal attacks that drove Nobel award-win­ning writer Orhan Pamuk from his home­land. Crimes being blamed on Ergenekon include a series of mur­der­ous bomb blasts, a grenade attack on a news­pa­per, the mur­der of an Ital­ian bish­op and the killing last year of Turk­ish Armen­ian jour­nal­ist Hrant Dink — all aimed, inves­ti­ga­tors believe, at cre­at­ing a cli­mate of ter­ror and chaos pro­pi­tious to a mil­i­tary coup that would depose Turkey’s mod­er­ate Islamist gov­ern­ment. . . .”

7. Con­clud­ing the pro­gram, we return to the sub­ject of Karl­heinz Schreiber, the mys­te­ri­ous arms deal­er and emi­nence grise at the epi­cen­ter of the Ger­man CDU fund­ing scan­dal. Schreiber has been com­pared to P‑2 lodge head Lico Gel­li. The intri­cate, Byzan­tine CDU fund­ing scan­dal was a strat­a­gem exe­cut­ed by the Under­ground Reich. (For more about the CDU fund­ing scan­dal, see—among oth­er programs—FTR#’s 193, 506.) “An arms deal­er want­ed on fraud charges in Ger­many Thurs­day sought to draw the gov­ern­ment into a polit­i­cal storm over cash pay­ments to a for­mer prime min­is­ter, say­ing a request to Prime Min­is­ter Stephen Harp­er to help him avoid extra­di­tion was ‘well received.’ Ger­man-Cana­di­an busi­ness­man Karl­heinz Schreiber told a par­lia­men­tary com­mit­tee that for­mer Pro­gres­sive Con­ser­v­a­tive Prime Min­is­ter Bri­an Mul­roney had raised his case with Harp­er last year ‘and the mes­sage was very well received.’ Both Harp­er and Mul­roney have denied even dis­cussing Schreiber’s case. But a series of alle­ga­tions by Schreiber have proved a thorn in their sides. Schreiber made some of the alle­ga­tions dur­ing a pro­longed legal fight to avoid extra­di­tion. . . .”
