Mr. Emory has launched a new Patreon site. Visit at: Patreon.com/DaveEmory
FTR#1297 The End and the Beginning, Part 4.
FTR#1298 The End and the Beginning, Part 5.
Introduction: Because we are doing a voluminous Patreon site with three talks a week with Mr. Emory (with machine transcripts), bi-weekly talks with brilliant researchers unknown to most people (with machine transcripts) and written, footnoted articles, the written descriptions to the For The Record shows will be attenuated.
The written descriptions will feature summaries of the discussion in the broadcasts, plus the articles and/or excerpts included in the programs.
These programs conclude a five-part series setting forth why Mr. Emory feels we are headed for “Ye Ol’ Last Roundup” and offering some insights into what he feels is the metaphysical nature of reality and why that offers some hope. His outlook is heavily influenced by Buddhism.
Artificial Intelligence plays a large role in the analysis Mr. Emory presents, including a terrifying development which will permit AI’s to read the human mind from afar!
The first program reviews the Third Reich and apartheid roots of the Schwab family and the Nazi intelligence connections of Henry Kissinger’s work at Harvard.
After noting that the Vietnam-era defoliant Agent Orange was part of an overlapping series of DARPA projects whose strategic rationale was “counter-insurgency,” Mr. Emory notes the Nazi/Paperclip origins of Agent Orange, as well as the probable role of DARPA in the development of SARS CoV‑2.
After review of Biden’s new “cancer moonshot” and the strong probability that is will serve as a front for the use of synthetic biology for the development of biological weapons, Mr. Emory reviews the early manifestation of globalization that resulted in the rise of global fascism.
A paper written by a member of the New York Federal Reserve opines that the 1918 flu epidemic set the stage for the rise of Nazism in Germany. Was something like that intended with Covid-19?
Subsuming the theme of these programs, Mr. Emory recounts the words of Chief Sitting Bull at the Powder River Council. Those words encapsulate his view of what this society has become.
After reviewing a fascinating scientific discussion about the “tone” that may very well have started the Big Bang origin of the universe, Mr. Emory highlights a book that has influenced him greatly–The Physics of Immortality. It may, perhaps, be comforting to some to believe that it is probable that, in the end, righteousness will prevail.
1a. “Schwab Family Values” by Johnny Vedmore; Unlimited Hangout; 2/20/2021.
. . . . In this Unlimited Hangout investigation, the past that Klaus Schwab has worked to hide is explored in detail, revealing the involvement of the Schwab family, not only in the Nazi quest for an atomic bomb, but apartheid South Africa’s illegal nuclear programme. Especially revealing is the history of Klaus’ father, Eugen Schwab, who led the Nazi-supported German branch of a Swiss engineering firm into the war as a prominent military contractor. That company, Escher-Wyss, would use slave labor to produce machinery critical to the Nazi war effort as well as the Nazi’s effort to produce heavy water for its nuclear program. Years later, at the same company, a young Klaus Schwab served on the board of directors when the decision was made to furnish the racist apartheid regime of South Africa with the necessary equipment to further its quest to become a nuclear power. . . .
. . . . While at Harvard, Schwab was taught by Henry Kissinger, who he would later say were among the top 3–4 figures who had most influenced his thinking over the course of his entire life. . . .
1b. America’s Nazi Secret by John Loftus; Trine Day [SC]; 2010936158; p. 11
. . . Kissinger was recruited as a professional spy for Dulles shortly after the end of the war in Europe. Although there is no evidence that he personally recruited Nazis, Kissinger ran the intelligence file room where records of Nazi recruitment were kept. He then transferred to Harvard where he specialized in recruiting foreign students for espionage. Later he worked for Dulles during the glory days of Office of Policy Coordination (OPC). He was hired as a consultant for a private group known as Operations Research Office, which planned to use former Nazis as agents behind Russian lines in the event of World War III. Mention of Kissinger’s classified work was censored from the original manuscript of this book. . . .
. . . . Black focuses his attention largely on Vietnam’s Quang Tri and Thua Tien provinces along the Laotian border . . . . “All the worst legacies of the war were concentrated here,” he writes, “an area smaller than the State of Connecticut. . . . The nation also unleashed more bombs on Quang Tri alone than had been dropped on Germany during World War II. . . .
. . . . A massive defoliation campaign to reduce cover for Vietnamese ambushes, known as Operation Ranch Hand, began in 1961. Soon, the U.S. government began to authorize crop destruction as well. Black describes Ranch hand as “without precedent in history, using all the tools of science, technology and air power to lay waste to a country’s natural environment.” By contrast, when the destruction of Japan’s rice crop had been proposed in 1944, Adm. William Leahy, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s chief of staff, “vetoed the idea, saying it would violate every Christian ethic I have ever heard of an all known laws of war.”
Black offers various measures of the resulting devastation to the Vietnam-Laos borderlands. Perhaps none is more suggestive of the magnitude than this statistic: “Between 1964 and 1973, U.S. aircraft flew 580,344 sorties over Laos, which averaged out to one every eight minutes, 24 hours a day for nine years.”. . .
7b. The ravages of the highly toxic defoliant Agent Orange are well documented, felling American G.I.‘s and Vietnamese and Laotian combatants and civilians. The toll is ever-mounting as dioxin is part of the Southeast Asian landscape and waterscape now, and a variety of horrors continue to plague the residents of that area.
What has not received as much publicity is the documented fact that the poison was developed by Friedrich “Fritz” Hoffman, one of the Third Reich alumni brought to the U.S. under Project [or “Operation”] Paperclip.
” . . . . Under the umbrella of the CIA’s Security Research Services, [CIA organization] Morwede was among the front organizations protecting Nazi chemists transported to the US, including Dr. Friedrich ‘Fritz’ Hoffman, a major beneficiary of the largesse of the Paperclip pipeline.
“In the late ‘50s, Hoffmann’s work for the CIA and Fort Detrick included development of lethal chemical agents to be used as weapons in Vietnam, proof that the dishonorable was just over the horizon when John Kennedy took office. One of these weapons, the horrific and now-infamous Agent Orange, was authorized for use in Vietnam in November 1961 (implemented in ’62 under Operation Ranch Hand) . . . By 1962, . . . Dow Chemical, was mass-producing Agent Orange under specifications perfected by Hoffmann and his team at Fort Detrick. . . .”
Hoffman’s imprint on the research continues to be felt, guiding those on the pathway to obtaining compensation for the poison’s destructive effects.
“. . . . Fritz Hoffman was one of the earliest known U.S. Army Chemical Corps scientists to research the toxic effects of dioxin—possibly in the mid-1950s but for certain in 1959—as indicated in what ha become known as the Hoffmann Trip Report. This document is used in almost every legal record pertaining to litigation by U.S. military veterans against the U.S. government and chemical manufacturers for its usage of herbicides and defoliants in the Vietnam War. . . .”

One of these weapons, the horrific and now-infamous Agent Orange, was authorized for use in Vietnam in November 1961 (implemented in ’62 under Operation Ranch Hand), with the stated objective of “improving road and waterway visibility and clear camp perimeters” so that “greater numbers of enemy troops could be killed.” A year earlier, two of the nation’s leading corporations, Schlumberger Ltd. of Houston, TX, and Dow Chemical of Midland, MI, combined forces to form a shared division named Dowell Schlumberger, to provide expertise and pumping services for the US oil industry, which would, of course, thrive during (the impending) all-out war in Southeast Asia. By 1962, Dowell’s parent, Dow Chemical, was mass-producing Agent Orange under specifications perfected by Hoffmann and his team at Fort Detrick. . . .

8a. In his book–one of the most important in recent memory–Yasha Levine sets forth vital, revelatory information about the development and functioning of the Internet.
Born of the same DARPA project that spawned Agent Orange, the Internet was never intended to be something good. Its generative function and purpose is counter-insurgency. In this landmark volume, Levine makes numerous points, including:
- The harvesting of data by intelligence services is PRECISELY what the Internet was designed to do in the first place.
- The harvesting of data engaged in by the major tech corporations is an extension of the data gathering/surveillance that was–and is–the raison d’etre for the Internet in the first place.
- The big tech companies all collaborate with the various intelligence agencies they publicly scorn and seek to ostensibly distance themselves from.
- Edward Snowden, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Jacob Appelbaum and WikiLeaks are complicit in the data harvesting and surveillance.
- Snowden and other privacy activists are double agents, consciously channeling people fearful of having their communications monitored into technologies that will facilitate that surveillance!
. . . . In the 1960s, America was a global power overseeing an increasingly volatile world: conflicts and regional insurgencies against US-allied governments from South America to Southeast Asia and the Middle East. These were not traditional wars that involved big armies but guerilla campaigns and local rebellions, frequently fought in regions where Americans had little previous experience. Who were these people? Why were they rebelling? What could be done to stop them? In military circles, it was believed that these questions were of vital importance to America’s pacification efforts, and some argued that the only effective way to answer them was to develop and leverage computer-aided information technology.
The Internet came out of this effort: an attempt to build computer systems that could collect and share intelligence, watch the world in real time, and study and analyze people and political movements with the ultimate goal of predicting and preventing social upheaval. . . .
. . . . Ranch Hand got going in 1962 and lasted until the war ended more than a decade later. In that time, American C‑123 transport planes doused an area equal in size to half of South Vietnam with twenty million gallons of toxic chemical defoliants. Agent Orange was fortified with other colors of the rainbow: Agent White, Agent Pink, Agent Purple, Agent Blue. The chemicals, produced by American companies like Dow and Monsanto, turned whole swaths of lush jungle into barren moonscapes, causing death and horrible suffering for hundreds of thousands.
Operation Ranch Hand was merciless, and in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. It remains one of the most shameful episodes of the Vietnam War. Yet the defoliation project is notable for more than just its unimaginable cruelty. The government body at its lead was a Department of Defense outfit called the Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Born in 1958 as a cash program to protect the United States from a Soviet nuclear threat from space, it launched several groundbreaking initiatives tasked with developing advanced weapons and military technologies. Among them were project Agile and Command and Control Research, two overlapping ARPA initiatives that created the Internet. . . .
9a. “A.I. to Read Your Mind Is Up Next” by Oliver Whang; The New York Times; 5/2/2023.
9b. From Introduction to Anti-Fascist Books
In the decades since the end of the Second World War, much has been written about the war and fascism, the driving force behind the aggression that precipitated that conflict. Unfortunately, much of what has been said and written has failed to identify and analyze the causes, nature and methodology of fascism—German National Socialism or “Nazism” in particular. A deeper, more accurate analysis was presented in literature published before, during and immediately after World War II.
SpitfireList.com is pleased to present a number of books published during that period. Almost all more than 50 years old, these works embody a more complete, profound analysis of the historical forces that dominated the events of that time and, more importantly, our own. Whereas much contemporary literature on the subject presents fascism (and Nazism in particular) as an aberration, the phenomenon was an outgrowth of major political forces and dynamics that dominate and control contemporary events and processes.
Some of the books presented here illustrate the extent to which fascism (Nazism in particular) was an outgrowth of globalization and the construction of international monopolies (cartels). Key to understanding this phenomenon is analysis of the Webb-Pomerene act, legislated near the end of the First World War. A loophole in the Anti-trust legislation of 1914, it effectively legalized the formation of cartels—international monopolies—for firms that were barred from domestic monopolistic practices.
Decrying what they viewed as excessive and restrictive “regulation” here in the United States, U.S.-based transnational corporations invested their profits from the industrial boom of the 1920’s abroad, primarily in Japan and Germany. This process might well be viewed as the real beginning of what is now known as “globalization.” [FTR#’s 99, 361, 426, 511 and 532 present an overview of the reinvestment of the wealth generated by the American industrial boom of the 1920’s in German and Japanese strategic heavy industry. It was this capital that drove the engines of conquest that subdued both Europe and Asia during the conflict.]
We also note that the failure of American industrial and financial firms to invest their capital in U.S. infrastructure contributed significantly to the onset of the Great Depression, depriving American industry of the monies needed to sustain the engines of industry and commerce. . . .
10. Sitting Bull at the Powder River Council
The following words were spoken by Sitting Bull at the purely Indian “Powder River Council” of 1877, as recounted by men who were present to Charles A. Eastman (author of Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains):
“Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love! Every seed is awakened, and all animal life. It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being, and we therefore yield to our neighbors, even to our animal neighbors, the same right as ourselves to inhabit this vast land.”
“Yet hear me, friends! we have now to deal with another people, small and feeble when our forefathers first met with them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break, but the poor may not! They have a religion in which the poor worship, but the rich will not! They even take tithes of the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule. They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse. They compel her to produce out of season, and when sterile she is made to take medicine in order to produce again. All this is sacrilege.”
“This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.”
“We cannot dwell side by side. Only seven years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buffalo country should be left to us forever. Now they threaten to take that from us also. My brothers, shall we submit? or shall we say to them: ‘First kill me, before you can take possession of my fatherland!’ ”
12a. A study released by US National Academy of Sciences at the request of the Department of Defense about the threats of synthetic biology concluded that the techniques to tweak and weaponize viruses from known catalogs of viral sequences is very feasible and relatively easy to do:
The rapid rise of synthetic biology, a futuristic field of science that seeks to master the machinery of life, has raised the risk of a new generation of bioweapons, according a major US report into the state of the art. . . .
“ . . . Advances in the area mean that scientists now have the capability to recreate dangerous viruses from scratch; make harmful bacteria more deadly; and modify common microbes so that they churn out lethal toxins once they enter the body. . . In the report, the scientists describe how synthetic biology, which gives researchers precision tools to manipulate living organisms, ‘enhances and expands’ opportunities to create bioweapons. . . . Today, the genetic code of almost any mammalian virus can be found online and synthesised. ‘The technology to do this is available now,’ said [Michael] Imperiale. “It requires some expertise, but it’s something that’s relatively easy to do, and that is why it tops the list. . . .”
. . . . Dr. Renee Wegrzyn is President Biden’s choice to lead the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, which is aimed at driving biomedical innovation.
President Biden, sketching out a vision for “bold approaches” to fighting cancer and other diseases, announced on Monday that he had selected Dr. Renee Wegrzyn, a Boston biotech executive with government experience, as the director of a new federal agency aimed at pursuing risky, far-reaching ideas that will drive biomedical innovation.
Mr. Biden made the announcement at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, on the 60th anniversary of the former president’s “moonshot” speech that ushered in an era of space travel. He used the occasion to reiterate his call to “end cancer as we know it” — the tag line for his own “cancer moonshot” initiative. . . .
. . . . Modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the new agency is known as the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. (In the argot of Washington, where every agency has an acronym, the defense research agency is called DARPA and the health agency is ARPA‑H.) . . . .
. . . . Dr. Wegrzyn is a vice president for business development at Ginkgo Bioworks and the head of innovation at Concentric by Ginkgo, the company’s initiative to advance coronavirus testing and track the spread of the virus. She also worked at DARPA and its sister agency, the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity. . . .
. . . . The agency already has an acting deputy director, Adam H. Russell, also a DARPA alumnus, who has been laying the technical infrastructure and other groundwork to get the new agency off the ground. . . .
. . . . In addition to announcing his intent to appoint Dr. Wegrzyn, Mr. Biden issued an executive order on Monday establishing a biotechnology and biomanufacturing initiative intended to position the United States as a leader in the field and to center drug manufacturing in the country. . . .
13a. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renee_Wegrzyn
. . . . From 2003 to 2006, Wegrzyn worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. From 2006 to 2008, she worked as the assay development group leader for Adlyfe, a biotechnology company based in Quebec. In 2009, she was a senior scientist at Meso Scale Discovery and in 2012, she was a fellow at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. From 2009 to 2016, she worked as a senior lead technologist at Booz Allen Hamilton. From 2016 to 2020, she served as a program manager in the Biological Technologies Office of DARPA, where she specialized in synthetic biology and biosecurity. Since 2018, she has been a senior advisor to the Nuclear Threat Initiative.[3] In 2020, she joined Ginkgo Bioworks as vice president of business development.[4]” . . . .
14. Cited by numerous publications, including The New York Times, Bloomberg News and Politico, the study underscores some of our assertions concerning the fascist and extreme right-wing ramifications of the pandemic.
This timely and very important study will be referenced in future discussion of the psychological, sociological and socio-economic aspects of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Kristian Blickle’s analysis underscores points we have made about the demographic, economic and psychological devastation the pandemic is having on the body politic.
“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, published this month and authored by New York Fed economist Kristian Blickle, examined municipal spending levels and voter extremism in Germany from the time of the initial influenza outbreak until 1933, and shows that ‘areas which experienced a greater relative population decline’ due to the pandemic spent ‘less, per capita, on their inhabitants in the following decade.’ . . .
“. . . . The paper’s findings are likely due to ‘changes in societal preferences’ following the 1918 outbreak, Blickle argues — suggesting the influenza pandemic’s disproportionate toll on young people may have ‘spurred resentment of foreigners among the survivors’ and driven voters to parties ‘whose platform matched such sentiments.’ The conclusions come amid fears that the current coronavirus pandemic will shake up international politics and spur extremism around the world, as officials and public health experts look to previous outbreaks for guidance on how to navigate the months and years to come. . . .”
“Fed Study Ties 1918 Flu Pandemic to Nazi Party Gains” by Quint Forgey; Politico; 5/05/2020.
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, published this month and authored by New York Fed economist Kristian Blickle, examined municipal spending levels and voter extremism in Germany from the time of the initial influenza outbreak until 1933, and shows that “areas which experienced a greater relative population decline” due to the pandemic spent “less, per capita, on their inhabitants in the following decade.”
The paper also shows that “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. “This result is stronger for right-wing extremists, and largely non-existent for left-wing extremists.”
Despite becoming popularly known as the Spanish flu, the influenza pandemic likely originated in the United States at a Kansas military base, eventually infecting about one-third of the global population and killing at least 50 million people worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Germany experienced roughly 287,000 influenza deaths between 1918 and 1920, Blickle writes.
The paper’s findings are likely due to “changes in societal preferences” following the 1918 outbreak, Blickle argues — suggesting the influenza pandemic’s disproportionate toll on young people may have “spurred resentment of foreigners among the survivors” and driven voters to parties “whose platform matched such sentiments.”
The conclusions come amid fears that the current coronavirus pandemic will shake up international politics and spur extremism around the world, as officials and public health experts look to previous outbreaks for guidance on how to navigate the months and years to come.
15. “Listen Closely: From Tiny Hum Came Big Bang” by James Glanz; The New York Times; 4/30/2001.
Two detectors in Antarctica have discovered minute patterns in a glow from primordial gases, possible traces of the cosmic match that ignited the Big Bang and led to the creation of the universe 14 billion years ago, astronomers announced here today.
The patterns, astronomers said, were probably created by microscopic processes — energy fluctuations at the quantum scale — that were at work when the universe was a tiny fraction of a second old and smaller than a human fist. . . .
. . . . The new observations do not see the quantum fluctuations directly, but instead have found traces of colossal waves, much like sound waves, that the fluctuations probably set in motion, roiling the young universe. . . . .
. . . . The leading theory of how the universe could have exploded out of the primordial nothingness, known as the theory of inflation, predicts that the quantum fluctuations should have rattled the universe in such a way that it resonated like a vast organ pipe, with one main tone, or wavelength, and a series of overtones or harmonics.
Last year, the Boomerang team detected the main tone but found no clear evidence for the overtones, raising the possibility that the inflation theory could be wrong. Since much of the information about the fluctuations, like their relative intensity and spectrum, would reside in the characteristics of the overtones, those results raised the prospect that few remnants of the initial spark might be found. . . .
. . . . .The results also provide major support for ideas closely associated with Dr. David Schramm, a Chicago cosmologist who died in a plane crash late in 1997. Dr. Schramm and his colleagues worked out a theory, unrelated to inflation, using trace elements created in the Big Bang explosion to gauge the amount of ordinary matter in the universe.
Those values agree closely with the amounts deduced from the intensity of the sound wave overtones; that intensity is affected by the sloshing of matter in the sound waves’ peaks and troughs. . . .
. . . . For example, the new observations confirm that most of the cosmos seems to be made of so-called dark matter and dark energy, possibly particles or energy lurking somewhere in space but still never detected directly. Dr. Turner, of Chicago, said skeptics might well term that picture ”the absurd universe, or the preposterous universe.” . . . .
