This pro­gram details the role of Ger­man and Amer­i­can cor­po­ra­tions in arm­ing Sad­dam Hus­sein with his weapons of mass destruc­tion — chem­i­cal, bio­log­i­cal and nuclear. Many of the cor­po­rate inter­ests tar­get­ed in a class-action law suit filed by Amer­i­can vet­er­ans of the Per­sian Gulf War are the same cor­po­ra­tions that were instru­men­tal in equip­ping Hitler’s armies. In May of 1980, the Uncle Sam and The Swasti­ka Archive Show set forth how these cor­po­ra­tions armed Hitler and pro­mot­ed his rise to pow­er. This broad­cast repris­es some excerpts of the orig­i­nal 1980 pro­gram and high­lights how cor­po­ra­tions like Degesch, Degus­sa and Thyssen AG helped build the chem­i­cal, bio­log­i­cal and nuclear arma­ments that the plain­tiffs in the above-men­tioned law­suit believe result­ed in Gulf War Syn­drome. Degesch and Degus­sa were sub­sidiary com­pa­nies of the giant I.G. Far­ben chem­i­cal com­pa­ny that was the back­bone of Third Reich indus­try and of polit­i­cal sup­port for Hitler. These two com­pa­nies made the Zyk­lon B used in the gas cham­bers dur­ing World War II. Iron­i­cal­ly, this gas was orig­i­nal­ly used as a pes­ti­cide and “pes­ti­cides” were the nom­i­nal pur­pose of the gas­es that Sad­dam devel­oped as well. As the Unit­ed States pre­pared for mil­i­tary action against Iraq in ear­ly 1998, the Defense Depart­ment decid­ed to inoc­u­late more than two mil­lion armed forces per­son­nel against anthrax, one of the bio­log­i­cal war­fare agents believed to be in Sad­dam’s arse­nal. The com­pa­ny that makes the vac­cines for the army is Mer­ck, a Ger­man-owned com­pa­ny that has been deeply involved in bio­log­i­cal war­fare devel­op­ment and, like the Ger­man cor­po­ra­tions that gave Sad­dam much of his CBW capa­bil­i­ty, they are con­trolled by the remark­able and dead­ly Bor­mann orga­ni­za­tion. The lat­ter lit­er­al­ly con­sti­tutes an under­ground Reich, which con­trols cor­po­rate Ger­many and much of the rest of the world from its base in Latin Amer­i­ca. If the Anthrax vac­cine were acci­den­tal­ly or delib­er­ate­ly con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed by a path­o­gen­ic agent, the results for the Unit­ed States could be cat­a­stroph­ic.
