FTR#1414 This pro­gram was record­ed in one, 60-minute seg­ment.

Don­ald Trump used this as late night read­ing.

Intro­duc­tion: This talk ana­lyzes the pan­dem­ic as World War III. Real­iz­ing the same effect that the 1918 flu pan­dem­ic had on young Ger­mans, the Covid-19 “Op” pro­pelled young peo­ple glob­al­ly toward the anti-immi­grant stance, ben­e­fit­ting Trump, the AfD in Ger­many and oth­er fas­cist par­ties.

Dis­cus­sion in this pro­gram must be sup­ple­ment­ed by the pre­vi­ous shows in this series, fea­tur­ing the text of Mr. Emory’s six arti­cles on the pan­dem­ic: FTR#‘s 1404, 5, 6 & 7, 1410, 1411, 1412, 1413.

We note that the role of Nazi and fas­cist ele­ments in the gen­er­a­tion of the pan­dem­ic, cit­ed below.

Of par­tic­u­lar impor­tance in eval­u­at­ing the pan­dem­ic as World War III is the eugenic dimen­sion of SARS CoV‑2. Eugen­ics is fun­da­men­tal to Nazi and allied West­ern polit­i­cal and ide­o­log­i­cal and oper­a­tional man­i­fes­ta­tion. The fifth of Mr. Emory’s arti­cles (“The Eugenic Virus”) is includ­ed in this descrip­tion, for the con­ve­nience of the listener/reader.

Far­ben vac­cine.”

1.We present key aspects of the first of Mr. Emory’s arti­cles about Covid-19:

The Covid-19 “Op”

. . . . “ . . . . In case after case, every man on board had been marked before the cap­tain opened his orders. Though they may not have known it, the car­goes they car­ried were rein­sured with Munich. The rou­tine sys­tem of plac­ing insur­ance had put pre­cise infor­ma­tion on their sail­ing date and des­ti­na­tion in the hands of the Ger­mans before the ship left port. . . .  It had long been the cus­tom of the Amer­i­can com­pa­nies to place the rein­sur­ance on ships and car­goes with the Zurich group by cabling infor­ma­tion to them so that they could accept respon­si­bil­i­ty for a share of the Amer­i­can insur­er’s risk. . . . The infor­ma­tion cabled would include the name of the ship, the sail­ing date, the car­go car­ried, the des­ti­na­tion, and the val­ue of the insured prop­er­ty. . . . the Zurich group in turn had a rein­sur­ance treaty with the Munich rein­sur­ance pool in Ger­many. The result was that dur­ing 1940 and ear­ly 1941, by the time a ship had cleared New York or Bal­ti­more har­bor head­ed for a Euro­pean port, the Ger­man intel­li­gence ser­vice already had the sail­ing data in hand. . . .” . . .

. . . . Cit­ed by numer­ous pub­li­ca­tions, includ­ing The New York Times, Bloomberg News and Politi­co, Kris­t­ian Blick­le’s analy­sis under­scores some of our asser­tions con­cern­ing the psy­cho­log­i­cal, soci­o­log­i­cal and socio-eco­nom­ic aspects of the Covid-19 out­break.

“A new aca­d­e­m­ic paper pro­duced by the Fed­er­al Reserve Bank of New York con­cludes that deaths caused by the 1918 influen­za pan­dem­ic ‘pro­found­ly shaped Ger­man soci­ety’ in sub­se­quent years and con­tributed to the strength­en­ing of the Nazi Par­ty. . . The paper’s find­ings are like­ly due to ‘changes in soci­etal pref­er­ences’ fol­low­ing the 1918 out­break . . .  [which] may have ‘spurred resent­ment of for­eign­ers among the sur­vivors’ and dri­ven vot­ers to par­ties ‘whose plat­form matched such sen­ti­ments.’ . . .‘influen­za deaths of 1918 are cor­re­lat­ed with an increase in the share of votes won by right-wing extrem­ists, such as the Nation­al Social­ist Work­ers Par­ty’ in Germany’s 1932 and 1933 elec­tions. Togeth­er, the low­er spend­ing and flu-relat­ed deaths ‘had a strong effect on the share of votes won by extrem­ists, specif­i­cal­ly the extrem­ist nation­al social­ist par­ty’ — the Nazis — the paper posits.’. . . .” (65a)

This study is inter­est­ing to con­tem­plate against the back­ground of Don­ald Trump’s elec­toral vic­to­ry of 2024.  Might his vic­to­ry have result­ed, in part, from the fas­cist and extreme right-wing ram­i­fi­ca­tions of the pan­dem­ic?

A reveal­ing arti­cle in The Atlantic and a study by the Lon­don School of Eco­nom­ics lend sup­port to the hypoth­e­sis that Covid may well have sig­nif­i­cant­ly influ­enced young peo­ple, and pushed then in a fas­cist direc­tion. Not­ing the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic may under­lie the elec­toral suc­cess of Trump and the grow­ing pop­u­lar­i­ty of the AfD in Ger­many, the mag­a­zine notes: “ . . . . In one recent CBS poll, Amer­i­cans under 30 weren’t just even­ly split between the par­ties. They were even more pro-Trump than Boomers over 65. . . . But young people’s appar­ent lurch right is not an Amer­i­can-only trend. . . . In France, Ger­many, Fin­land, and beyond, young vot­ers are swing­ing their sup­port toward anti-estab­lish­ment far-right par­ties ‘in num­bers equal to and even exceed­ing old­er vot­ers.’ In Ger­many, a 2024 sur­vey of 2,000 peo­ple showed that young peo­ple have adopt­ed a rel­a­tive­ly new ‘gloomy out­look’ on the future. No sur­prise, then, that the far-right Alter­na­tive für Deutsch­land has become the most pop­u­lar par­ty among Ger­mans under 30. . . .” (65b)

Pres­ti­gious aca­d­e­m­ic insti­tu­tions have not­ed the right­ward drift of young peo­ple, dri­ven by their increased skep­ti­cism of sci­en­tif­ic author­i­ties: “ . . . . Young peo­ple who cast their first bal­lot in 2024 were ‘more jad­ed than ever about the state of Amer­i­can lead­er­ship,’ accord­ing to the Har­vard Polit­i­cal Review. A 2024 analy­sis of Amer­i­cans under 30 found the ‘low­est lev­els of con­fi­dence in most pub­lic insti­tu­tions since the sur­vey began.’ . . .” (65c)

One dri­ver of the insti­tu­tion­al­ized pes­simism and right­ward drift of young peo­ple may well be the pandemic’s ero­sion of con­fi­dence in sci­en­tif­ic author­i­ties. “ . . . . One cross-coun­try analy­sis pub­lished by the Sys­temic Risk Cen­ter at the Lon­don School of Eco­nom­ics found that peo­ple who expe­ri­ence epi­demics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less con­fi­dence in their sci­en­tif­ic and polit­i­cal lead­er­ship. This loss of trust per­sists for years, even decades, in part because polit­i­cal ide­ol­o­gy tends to solid­i­fy in a person’s 20s. . . .” (65d)

Social media’s bifur­ca­tion into gen­der-spe­cif­ic forums is also an appar­ent con­trib­u­tor to the trend: “ . . . . The Nor­we­gian researcher Ruben B. Mathisen has writ­ten that ‘social media [cre­ates] sep­a­rate online spheres for men and women.’ By trad­ing gen­der-blend­ed hang­outs in base­ments and restau­rants for gen­der-seg­re­gat­ed online spaces, young men’s pol­i­tics became more dis­tinct­ly pro-male—and, more to the point, anti-fem­i­nist, accord­ing to Mathisen. . . . Although Mathisen focused on Nordic youth, he not­ed that his research built on a body of sur­vey lit­er­a­ture show­ing that ‘the ide­o­log­i­cal dis­tance between young men and women has accel­er­at­ed across sev­er­al coun­tries.’. . .” (65e)

The over­lap­ping effects of the pan­dem­ic and social media may well have mint­ed a fas­cist youth move­ment: “ . . . . But in a few years, what we’ve grown accus­tomed to call­ing Gen­er­a­tion Z may reveal itself to con­tain a sub­group: Gen­er­a­tion C, COVID-affect­ed and, for now, strik­ing­ly con­ser­v­a­tive. For this micro-gen­er­a­tion of young peo­ple in the Unit­ed States and through­out the West, social media has served as a cru­cible where sev­er­al trends have fused togeth­er: declin­ing trust in polit­i­cal and sci­en­tif­ic author­i­ties, anger about the excess­es of fem­i­nism and social jus­tice, and a pref­er­ence for right­ward pol­i­tics. . . .” (65f) . . . .

. . . . The Ukrain­ian Fam­i­ly Daszak

. . . . The his­tor­i­cal record of U.S. employ­ment of Axis indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions involved in bio­log­i­cal war­fare rais­es an inter­est­ing inter­roga­to­ry note about Peter Daszak and his her­itage.

Again, not only is Daszak at the epi­cen­ter of the work of Eco­Health Alliance and its coop­er­at­ing nation­al secu­ri­ty ele­ments, but he was the only per­son who served on both major bod­ies inves­ti­gat­ing the ori­gins of the pan­dem­ic.

Daszak’s father Bohdan was Ukrain­ian and the right age to have served in the Nazi-allied gov­ern­ment of Jaroslav Stet­zko and the OUN/B. (In a sup­ple­men­tal essay, we will ana­lyze the Ukrain­ian Nazi col­lab­o­ra­tors and the Daszaks in the con­text of Ukrain­ian fas­cist-allied ele­ments in the desta­bi­liza­tion of Chi­na.)

“ . . . . Par­ents — Father is Bohdan Daszak (born March 21, 1926) . . . .” (81)

Bohdan Daszak would have been 19 in March of 1945. An inter­est­ing excerpt from a book high­lights Bohdan Daszak’s work in a Nazi con­cen­tra­tion camp dur­ing World War II. Note that this excerpt con­tains some fun­da­men­tal inac­cu­ra­cies, although they are not nec­es­sar­i­ly inten­tion­al on the part of the author.

“ . . . .When he was about 16, in March 1944, the Ger­mans had occu­pied his coun­try. . . . Bog­dan, though, was an edu­cat­ed town boy, not a peas­ant like the oth­ers, so he was used for paper­work in a camp. . . .” (82)

This pas­sage con­tains sev­er­al inac­cu­ra­cies: Bohdan Daszak was eigh­teen in March of 1944, not six­teen. Ukraine was not a coun­try but a repub­lic of the for­mer Union of Sovi­et Social­ist Republics. It was invad­ed and occu­pied in June of 1941, not 1944 as alleged in the pas­sage above.

Inter­est­ing­ly and per­haps sig­nif­i­cant­ly, one of the most noto­ri­ous Nazi con­cen­tra­tion camps was Janows­ka, locat­ed out­side the city of Lvov in Ukraine.

“Janows­ka con­cen­tra­tion camp . . . . was a Ger­man Nazi con­cen­tra­tion camp com­bin­ing ele­ments of labor, tran­sit, and exter­mi­na­tion camps.^[1] It was estab­lished in Sep­tem­ber 1941 on the out­skirts of Lwów in what had become, after the Ger­man inva­sion, the Gen­er­al Gov­ern­ment (today: Lviv, Ukraine). . . . Jews from the Lwów ghet­to were forced to work as slave labor­ers in this com­plex. When the Ger­mans liq­ui­dat­ed the Lwów ghet­to, the ghet­to’s inhab­i­tants who were fit for work were sent to the Janows­ka camp; the rest were deport­ed to the Ger­man Nazi death camp Belzec for exter­mi­na­tion. . . . Janows­ka was a tran­sit camp dur­ing the mass depor­ta­tions of Pol­ish Jews to the killing cen­ters in 1942 from across Ger­man-occu­pied south­east­ern Poland (now west­ern Ukraine). Jews under­went a selec­tion process in Janows­ka camp sim­i­lar to that used at Auschwitz–Birkenau and Maj­danek Ger­man exter­mi­na­tion camps. Those clas­si­fied as fit to work remained at Janows­ka for forced labor. The major­i­ty, reject­ed as unfit for work, were deport­ed to Belzec and mur­dered, or else were shot at the Pias­ki ravine . . . .” (83)

Impor­tant in this con­text is the fact that the Daszak fam­i­ly is from Lvov. Respond­ing to an inquiry on Twit­ter (now “X”), Peter Daszak respond­ed as fol­lows on March 2 of 2022: “ . . . . Came from Lvov Ukraine where we still have rel­a­tives. . . .” (84)

It is extreme­ly unlike­ly that Bohdan Daszak would have been assigned to a camp oth­er than Janows­ka, which was locat­ed at Lvov, the ances­tral home of the Daszak fam­i­ly.

This rais­es the admit­ted­ly spec­u­la­tive ques­tion as to whether Bohdan Daszak’s pres­ence at a Nazi con­cen­tra­tion may have been because of sym­pa­thies with the Ukrain­ian col­lab­o­ra­tionist move­ment?

Was the elder Daszak, in essence, a par­tic­i­pant in Nazi crimes? Is it pos­si­ble that Peter Daszak is part of the “Paper­clip” milieu and dias­po­ra? Again, these are ques­tions to be answered and are pre­sent­ed in an inter­roga­to­ry mode here.

A sum­ma­ry look at the infor­ma­tion in this essay yields the con­clu­sion that the gen­er­a­tion and dis­sem­i­na­tion of Covid-19 is a crime against human­i­ty, although some par­tic­i­pants may not have been aware of the full extent of the oper­a­tion

3.We also present key aspects of an arti­cle about the Gehlen Orga­ni­za­tion that is pre­sent­ed on Mr. Emory’s web­site.

“The Secret Treaty of Fort Hunt” by Carl Ogles­by.

. . . . Gehlen became chief of the Third Reich’s For­eign Armies East (FHO), on April 1, 1942. He was thus respon­si­ble for Ger­many’s mil­i­tary intel­li­gence oper­a­tions through­out East­ern Europe and the Sovi­et Union. His 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),¹⁵ Roma­ni­a’s Iron Guard,¹⁶ the Ustachis of Yugoslavia,¹⁷ the Vanagis of Latvia¹⁸ and, after the sum­mer of 1942, “Vlassov’s Army,“¹⁹ the band of defec­tors from Sovi­et Com­mu­nism march­ing behind for­mer Red hero Gen­er­al Andrey Vlassov. Lat­er on in the war, Gehlen placed one of his top men in con­trol of For­eign Armies West, which broad­ened his pow­er; and then after Admi­ral Wil­helm Canaris was purged and his Abwehr intel­li­gence ser­vice can­ni­bal­ized by the SS, Gehlen became in effect Nazi Ger­many’s over-all top intel­li­gence chief. . . .

. . . . Gehlen met with Admi­ral Karl Doenitz, who had been appoint­ed by Hitler as his suc­ces­sor dur­ing the last days of the Third Reich. Gehlen and the Admi­ral were now in a U.S. Army VIP prison camp in Wies­baden; Gehlen sought and received approval from Doenitz too!⁴⁴

^. . . . . As Gehlen was about to leave for the Unit­ed States, he left a mes­sage for Baun with anoth­er of his top aides, Ger­hard Wes­sel: “I am to tell you from Gehlen that he has dis­cussed with [Hitler’s suc­ces­sor Admi­ral Karl] Doenitz and [Gehlen’s supe­ri­or and chief of staff Gen­er­al Franz] Halder the ques­tion of con­tin­u­ing his work with the Amer­i­cans. Both were in agree­ment.” Hohne and Zolling, op. cit., n. 14, p. 61.

In oth­er words, the Ger­man chain of com­mand was still in effect, and it approved of what Gehlen was doing with the Amer­i­cans. . . .

. . . . 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.” . . . .

4.Flens­burg Gov­ern­ment — Wikipedia

The Flens­burg Gov­ern­ment (Ger­man: Flens­burg­er Regierung), also known as the Flens­burg Cab­i­net (Flens­burg­er Kabi­nett), the Dönitz Gov­ern­ment (Regierung Dönitz), or the Schw­erin von Krosigk Cab­i­net (Kabi­nett Schw­erin von Krosigk), was the rump gov­ern­ment of Nazi Ger­many dur­ing a peri­od of three weeks around the end of World War II in Europe. The gov­ern­ment was formed fol­low­ing the sui­cide of Adolf Hitler on 30 April 1945 dur­ing the Bat­tle of Berlin. It was head­ed by Grand Admi­ral Karl Dönitz as Reich­spräsi­dent and Lutz Graf Schw­erin von Krosigk as the Lead­ing Min­is­ter.

. . . . “ ‘The Iron Cur­tain moves clos­er,’” he declared in a broad­cast. ‘Peo­ple caught in the mighty hands of the Bol­she­viks are being destroyed.’”

The term was picked up from the Ger­man broad­cast. Churchill used it when he cabled Pres­i­dent Har­ry Tru­man on May 12: “An Iron Cur­tain is drawn upon their front. We do not know what is going on behind.” A year lat­er, he dropped it into a speech in the Unit­ed States. It demon­strates the infec­tious nature of the fears delib­er­ate­ly released by Hitler’s fol­low­ers in order to win West­ern sym­pa­thy. . . .

6. “Off Leash: Inside the Secret, Glob­al, Far-Right Group Chat” by Ken Sil­ver­stein; New Repub­lic; 05/30/2024

. . . . . S was lat­er revealed to be Sven von Storch, born to a Ger­man fam­i­ly that left for Chile after World War II, whose wife, Beat­rix von Storch, is the grand­daugh­ter of Lutz Graf Schw­erin von Krosigk, Hitler’s finance min­is­ter from 1933, the year he took pow­er, until he killed him­self in Berlin in April 1945, as Russ­ian troops closed in on the bunker where he and the dregs of his loy­al­ists were holed up. In his last will and tes­ta­ment, Hitler appoint­ed von Krosigk to serve under Joseph Goebbels, his hand­picked suc­ces­sor as chan­cel­lor, but since his min­is­ter of pro­pa­gan­da com­mit­ted sui­cide the day after Hitler, von Krosigk became the Third Reich’s head of state dur­ing its final days. “Von Krosigk nev­er wavered in his enthu­si­asm and labors for the Nazi cause,” pros­e­cu­tor Alexan­der Hardy said dur­ing his tri­al at Nurem­berg, where he was sen­tenced to 10 years for financ­ing the con­cen­tra­tion camps and oth­er crimes.

Beat­rix von Storch is a leader and Bun­destag mem­ber with Alter­na­tive for Ger­many, arguably the most rad­i­cal of Europe’s far-right par­ties, which calls for a crack­down on immi­gra­tion into the coun­try to pro­tect its “West­ern Chris­t­ian cul­ture,” a vari­ant of the “great replace­ment” the­o­ry espoused by white suprema­cists in the Unit­ed States. Sven von Storch doesn’t hold elect­ed office, but he’s con­sid­ered to be a promi­nent fig­ure in the AfD.

7a. “AfD responds to Trump ‘era­sure’ claims with call for nation­al­ist revival in Europe” by Jon Hen­ley; The Guardian; Decem­ber 10, 2025.

. . . . The AfD in par­tic­u­lar has active­ly sought clos­er ties with Trump’s Make Amer­i­ca Great Again move­ment. Anna Pauli­na Luna, a Repub­li­can con­gress­woman from Flori­da, said last month she expect­ed to host about 40 AfD politi­cians in the US. . . .

7b.  “Luna says law­mak­ers have evi­dence of ‘inter­di­men­sion­al beings’” by Ash­leigh Fields (The Hill); Yahoo News; August 13, 2025.

Luna says law­mak­ers have evi­dence of ‘inter­di­men­sion­al beings’

Rep. Anna Pauli­na Luna (R‑Fla.) said dur­ing a Wednes­day pod­cast episode with Joe Rogan that law­mak­ers have seen evi­dence of “inter­di­men­sion­al beings.”

“I think that they can actu­al­ly oper­ate through the time spaces that we cur­rent­ly have,” Luna said dur­ing the pod­cast.

“And that’s not some­thing that I came up with on my own. That’s based on stuff that we’ve seen. That’s based on infor­ma­tion that we’ve been told,” she added.

In Feb­ru­ary, Luna and Rep. James Com­er (R‑Ky.) sent let­ters to Sec­re­tary of State Mar­co Rubio, Sec­re­tary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Direc­tor John Rat­cliffe request­ing a brief­ing on all records in their pos­ses­sion relat­ed to uniden­ti­fied anom­alous phe­nom­e­na, with the ulti­mate goal of “deliver[ing] trans­paren­cy to the Amer­i­can peo­ple.”

She says through inves­ti­ga­tions, she’s dis­cov­ered oth­er­world­ly infor­ma­tion.

“Based on tes­ti­mo­ny — that would be based on wit­ness­es that have come for­ward. But what I can tell you is just we’re told that they were that, they’ve seen things,” Luna told Rogan.

“And what I can tell you with­out get­ting into clas­si­fied con­ver­sa­tions is that there have been inci­dences that I believe were very cred­i­ble — peo­ple have report­ed that there have been move­ment out­side of time and space,” she con­tin­ued.

Luna said she’s nev­er seen a por­tal or a space­ship but was search­ing for doc­u­men­ta­tion that could lead to more evi­dence of life beyond humans. . . .

8.When Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Luna was sworn into con­gress, she held her hand on an Ethiopi­an Ortho­dox Church Bible. That’s a rather notable detail giv­en that the Ethiopi­an Ortho­dox Church does include the Book of Enoch–a par­tic­u­lar inter­est for Rep Luna. In fact, back in April of 2024, Rep Luna post­ed a tweet where she thanks an Ethiopi­an Ortho­dox Church leader for answer­ing ques­tions about the lost books of the Bible.

“MAGA Con­gress­woman Claims UFOs Might Be ‘Inter­di­men­sion­al Beings’” By Matt Novak; Giz­mo­do; 08/14/2025

. . . . Luna acknowl­edged through­out the inter­view that the U.S. gov­ern­ment may have advanced tech­nol­o­gy that could explain some of the UAP sight­ings, but she kept com­ing back to this idea that there was some­thing super­nat­ur­al about it all. And she float­ed con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries about how these kinds of beings had been cen­sored in the edit­ing of the Bible, specif­i­cal­ly invok­ing the idea that the Book of Enoch had not been includ­ed as part of the Bible for shad­owy rea­sons.

Luna, who said she’s read the Book of Enoch “mul­ti­ple times,” insist­ed that she wasn’t say­ing these mys­te­ri­ous beings were angels, but not­ed there were “oth­er cre­ations that God made,” accord­ing to her under­stand­ing of Chris­tian­i­ty. . . .

2d.Note the fol­low­ing!

“Erich von Daniken, Who claimed Aliens Vis­it­ed Earth, Dies at 90;” by Mike Peed; The New York Times; Jan­u­ary 11, 2026.

. . . . He wrote the man­u­script for what became “Char­i­ots of the Gods” while man­ag­ing the Hotel Rosen­hügel in Davos. At the hotel’s bar one day, he met the edi­tor of a Swiss sci­ence mag­a­zine, who intro­duced Mr. von Däniken to an exec­u­tive at Econ-Ver­lag, a Swiss pub­lish­ing house. Econ-Ver­lag agreed to print 6,000 copies of what was orig­i­nal­ly titled “Erin­nerun­gen an die Zukun­ft,” or “Mem­o­ries of the Future,” but only after hir­ing Wil­helm Rog­gers­dorf, who had edit­ed the Nazi news­pa­per Völkisch­er Beobachter, to rework much of it. . . .

2e. Con­sid­er­ing the pan­dem­ic as World War III, it is essen­tial to bear in mind the eugenic man­i­fes­ta­tions of the virus. A eugen­ics agen­da was one of the fun­da­ments of the Third Reich’s ide­ol­o­gy and oper­a­tional dynam­ics.

The Covid-19 “Op” Part 5: The Eugenic Virus

“ . . . . The blue­print of eugen­ics can still be traced in health­care and pub­lic health, as evi­denced by our reac­tion to the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic. . . .” (1)

Among the salient aspects of the delib­er­ate cre­ation and dis­sem­i­na­tion of Covid-19 is the eugenic fac­tor in the pandemic’s man­i­fes­ta­tion.

Eugen­ics is a social phi­los­o­phy that was at the root of the Third Reich’s exter­mi­na­tion poli­cies and was, and is, a dom­i­nant ele­ment in pow­er polit­i­cal think­ing.

Back­ground

Eugen­ics is a dis­ci­pline that was insti­tu­tion­al­ized and pop­u­lar in much of the indus­tri­al­ized world.

Seek­ing to improve the phys­i­cal, genet­ic make­up of their pop­u­la­tions, the dis­ci­pline embraced var­i­ous pro­ce­dures. Eugenic imple­men­ta­tion includ­ed block­ing those deemed “unde­sir­able” from immi­grat­ing to their soci­eties, encour­ag­ing pre-natal care to prospec­tive moth­ers who were deemed “desir­able,” the ster­il­iza­tion of those deemed unfit and legal­ly bar­ring inter­mar­riage between white peo­ple and those deemed racial­ly infe­ri­or.

Once a respect­ed, insti­tu­tion­al­ized social phi­los­o­phy, eugen­ics reached its apex with the Third Reich in Ger­many.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler cit­ed the U.S. Immi­gra­tion Restric­tion Act of 1924 as a prece­dent for estab­lish­ing racial puri­ty. “ . . . . When Hitler pub­lished Mein Kampf in 1924, he held up a for­eign law as a mod­el for his pro­gram of racial purifi­ca­tion: The U.S. Immi­gra­tion Restric­tion Act of 1924, which pro­hib­it­ed the immi­gra­tion of those with hered­i­tary ill­ness­es and entire eth­nic groups. . . .” (2)

Hitler and the Nazis leaned heav­i­ly on U.S. eugenic ster­il­iza­tion pol­i­cy, Cal­i­for­nia in par­tic­u­lar. “ . . . . A favor­able report on the results of ster­il­iza­tion in Cal­i­for­nia, the state with the most ster­il­iza­tions by far, was pub­lished in book form by the biol­o­gist Paul Pope­noe and was wide­ly cit­ed by the Nazi gov­ern­ment as evi­dence that wide-reach­ing ster­il­iza­tion pro­grams were fea­si­ble and humane. . . .” (3)

The foun­da­tion of the Third Reich’s exter­mi­na­tion pol­i­cy was the Law for The Pro­tec­tion of Ger­man Blood and Hon­or, strong­ly influ­enced by Cal­i­for­nia mod­el ster­il­iza­tion law, craft­ed by Paul Pope­noe. “ . . . . In the mid-1920s, Pope­noe began work­ing with E.S. Gos­ney, a wealthy Cal­i­for­nia financier, and the Human Bet­ter­ment Foun­da­tion to pro­mote eugenic poli­cies in Cal­i­for­nia. In 1909, Cal­i­for­nia had enact­ed its first com­pul­so­ry ster­il­iza­tion law to allow for the ster­il­iza­tion of the men­tal­ly ill and the men­tal­ly retard­ed in its state psy­chi­atric hos­pi­tals. . . .” (4)

Pro­mot­ing pro­cre­ative unions between SS men and racial­ly desir­able women, ster­il­iz­ing and ulti­mate­ly exter­mi­nat­ing those deemed “infe­ri­or” and ulti­mate­ly exter­mi­nat­ing entire racial groups, the Third Reich’s prac­tices stemmed from main­stream eugenic phi­los­o­phy, Amer­i­can eugenic pol­i­cy in par­tic­u­lar.

Enter SARS CoV‑2

The Covid pan­dem­ic rein­forced the endur­ing nature of eugenic phi­los­o­phy: “ . . . . The COVID-19 pan­dem­ic has exposed the viral nature of eugenic phi­los­o­phy, which has con­tin­ued to guide U.S. treat­ment of the cap­tive and vul­ner­a­ble for over 100 years. The long tail of eugen­ics informs our choic­es over those we insti­tu­tion­al­ize, detain, and sequester in long-term care and group homes. . . .” (5)

Those who were deemed to be of less­er impor­tance were delib­er­ate­ly placed in cir­cum­stances that jeop­ar­dized and, or, took their lives.

Nurs­ing Homes

Among the groups of peo­ple who were delib­er­ate­ly sub­ject­ed to Covid infec­tion and death were the res­i­dents of nurs­ing homes.  “ . . . . Long-term adult care facil­i­ties have been noto­ri­ous­ly dead­ly hubs dur­ing the pan­dem­ic. Approx­i­mate­ly forty per­cent of all COVID-19 deaths in the Unit­ed States have been linked to nurs­ing homes. Up through Novem­ber 2020, 100,033 res­i­dents and staff at long-term care facil­i­ties have died from COVID-19.[cxi] In at least 23 states, the major­i­ty of COVID-19 deaths have occurred in adult long-term care facil­i­ties. . .”  (6)

Pris­on­ers

Those con­fined to pris­ons and oth­er insti­tu­tions suf­fered enor­mous­ly dur­ing the pan­dem­ic. “ . . . . The lega­cy of eugenic think­ing still leads to var­i­ous trou­bling out­comes, includ­ing an almost com­plete aban­don­ment of pris­on­ers, who have suf­fered
explo­sive COVID spread with­out safe­guards or treat­ment. . . .” (7)

Vet­er­ans

Among those deemed “expend­able” dur­ing the pan­dem­ic were aging and dis­abled vet­er­ans “ . . . . In one Mass­a­chu­setts vet­er­ans care facil­i­ty, for exam­ple, a staffing
short­age led the man­age­ment to com­bine two locked demen­tia wards,237
mix­ing infect­ed res­i­dents with those who test­ed negative.238 Sev­en­ty-six
of these res­i­dents died.239 More­over, staff mem­bers at this home were
specif­i­cal­ly direct­ed not to wear masks and gowns while car­ing for ill
patients. . . .” (8)

Peo­ple of Col­or in Devel­op­ing Nations

Not sur­pris­ing­ly, the Covid pan­dem­ic awak­ened prej­u­di­cial racist stereo­types, with peo­ple in Africa being heav­i­ly stig­ma­tized.

The advent of the Omi­cron vari­ant, orig­i­nat­ing in South Africa inten­si­fied racist, eugenic cat­e­go­riza­tion. The UK, Cana­da and the U.S. were among the coun­tries man­i­fest­ing this stereo­typ­ing. “ . . . . They intro­duced rushed spon­ta­neous trav­el restric­tions with red lists almost exclu­sive­ly made up of African coun­tries, so much so that it had been labelled a ‘Black list’. . . .” (9)

The con­trast between Nigeria’s inclu­sion on the list despite hav­ing just three record­ed cas­es and the fail­ure to list Por­tu­gal and the Nether­lands (with 19 record­ed cas­es) is strik­ing and reveal­ing. (10).

Note­wor­thy is how the stig­ma­tiz­ing of African coun­tries in con­nec­tion with Covid echoes and reca­pit­u­lates the larg­er, eugeni­cist stereo­typ­ing of “immi­grants,” dove­tail­ing with a larg­er and his­tor­i­cal­ly dom­i­nant hos­til­i­ty toward “immi­grants.” “ . . . . The exclu­sive Black­list­ing of African coun­tries in the name of pub­lic health and pro­tec­tion we recent­ly saw is rem­i­nis­cent of this [eugeni­cist] rhetoric and also of gen­er­al immi­gra­tion pol­i­cy, sen­ti­ment and lan­guage used about migrants and refugees. . . .” (11)

The fact that the Omi­cron vari­ant was said to have orig­i­nat­ed in South Africa rein­forces the racist and eugeni­cist stereo­typ­ing of Covid. That South African ori­gin is dis­put­ed. (12)

Fur­ther exhibit­ing the racist/eugenicist stereo­typ­ing of Africans is the Covid vac­ci­na­tion pro­gram. “ . . . . The inter­na­tion­al Covid vac­cine sup­ply pro­gramme COVAX has seen African coun­tries at the bot­tom of the pri­or­i­ty list. As a result, only 8.6 per­cent of the con­ti­nent is ful­ly vac­ci­nat­ed, with that num­ber drop­ping to 0.09 per­cent of the pop­u­la­tion in DR Con­go. . . .” (13)

Racist Mor­tal­i­ty in the U.S.

The U.S. pre­sent­ed a dis­turb­ing, famil­iar and racist lethal­i­ty among mem­bers of its pop­u­la­tion:  “ . . . . The Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol and Pre­ven­tion esti­mates that ‘Black, Native Amer­i­can, and His­pan­ic peo­ple are dying at three times the rate of white peo­ple,’ even as these groups are present­ly being vac­ci­nat­ed at a rate dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly low­er than whites, and in amounts low­er than their over­all rate with­in the nation­al pop­u­la­tion. . . .” (14)

Pro­phy­lac­tic Mea­sures for the Elite

Con­trast­ing sharply with the treat­ment giv­en to peo­ple in the devel­op­ing world and minori­ties in the West is the exten­sive mea­sures tak­en by the elite at the Davos World Forum.

“ . . . . this week the rich­est peo­ple in the world are tak­ing com­mon sense, easy- but strict- pre­cau­tions to ensure they don’t catch Covid-19 at Davos. . . . In addi­tion to high-qual­i­ty ven­ti­la­tion, masks, hot­lines and PCR test­ing, some have not­ed the sig­na­ture blue glow of Far-UVC light­ing, demon­strat­ed to kill pathogens in the air . . . . We can be cer­tain, how­ev­er, that the test­ing, high-qual­i­ty ven­ti­la­tion, and fil­tra­tion pro­to­col is effec­tive at pre­vent­ing the kind of super-spread­er events most of us are now accus­tomed to attend­ing. . . .” (15)

Trump’s Covid Eugeni­cist Out­look

In addi­tion to his anti-immi­grant ide­ol­o­gy, Trump has pre­sent­ed a crys­tal­liz­ing out­look toward the pan­dem­ic. “ . . . . And both he and his administration—at times explic­it­ly, oth­er times tac­it­ly— endorsed a ‘herd immu­ni­ty’ approach to the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic that sub­or­di­nat­ed the inter­ests of old­er peo­ple, those with dis­abil­i­ties, and mem­bers of racial minor­i­ty groups to oth­ers. . . .” (16)

Per­haps more sig­nif­i­cant than Trump’s own eugeni­cist ori­en­ta­tion toward Covid is the man­i­fes­ta­tion of a larg­er, pro-eugen­ics ori­en­ta­tion on the part of sig­nif­i­cant inter­ests in this soci­ety.

“ . . . . Trump’s response to the pan­dem­ic is best under­stood as rest­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly on eugenic ideas. But what is more impor­tant than Don­ald Trump’s own actions is that the eugenic ideas under­ly­ing them seem to have been wide­ly endorsed . . . . by a large and vocal minor­i­ty with sub­stan­tial sup­port from many busi­ness and state-gov­ern­ment enti­ties. . . .” (17)

Senior Cit­i­zens: Culling the Herd

With the GOP unabashed­ly push­ing to “de-plat­form” Social Secu­ri­ty and Medicare, it is worth tak­ing stock of the dra­mat­ic effect of Covid-19 on senior cit­i­zens.

So many died of Covid, that (for the time being, at least) the Social Secu­ri­ty trust fund reg­is­tered bil­lions of dol­lars in sav­ings. “ . . . . As the U.S. approach­es the fifth anniver­sary of the offi­cial start of the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic, new research finds so many Amer­i­cans died from the virus that the nation’s Social Secu­ri­ty trust fund will see a net increase of hun­dreds of bil­lions of dol­lars as a result of retire­ment ben­e­fits that will not be paid out. . . .” (18a)

Get­ting rid of the “Old Folks,” as the song called them, is a good way of alle­vi­at­ing pres­sure on Social Secu­ri­ty and Medicare.

. . . . A hun­dred thou­sand deaths is more than the annu­al toll of any oth­er infec­tious dis­ease and would make Covid-19 a top-10 cause of death in the coun­try — a major and nov­el cause of wide­spread death cloud­ing the Amer­i­can hori­zon with anoth­er dark lay­er of mor­bid­i­ty we had nev­er known before. . . .

. . . . How do you cal­cu­late a loss 10 times as high? How can you reck­on with that lev­el of dying, each year, going for­ward? Accord­ing to Céline Gounder, an infec­tious dis­ease epi­demi­ol­o­gist and a senior fel­low at the Kaiser Fam­i­ly Foun­da­tion, that fig­ure is actu­al­ly the low end — the ball­park, she says, runs from 100,000 to 250,000. That’s not her esti­mate of this year’s toll but of the annu­al con­tin­u­ing mor­tal­i­ty bur­den rolling for­ward indef­i­nite­ly into the future. “And the ques­tion I have is, how much death are we OK with?” she asks. “Have we decid­ed this is OK? And if so, why?” . . . . (18b)

Con­clu­sion

Tak­en in com­bi­na­tion with infor­ma­tion in the oth­er arti­cles in this series, the eugeni­cist nature of the Covid pan­dem­ic can be seen as a dif­fer­ent iter­a­tion of the delib­er­ate­ly lethal man­i­fes­ta­tion of that phi­los­o­phy that we saw in Nazi Ger­many.

Although eclipsed by the nom­i­nal defeat of the Third Reich in World War II, we can view the Covid-19 “op” as a per­pet­u­a­tion of the most extreme, vio­lent philo­soph­i­cal poli­cies of a eugen­ics phi­los­o­phy that is resur­gent in the 21^st cen­tu­ry.
