FTR#1422 The Walls Came Tumbling Down: Nazis, Fascists and The 9/11 Attacks, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion from our pre­vi­ous pro­gram, we ana­lyze the sec­ond of two arti­cles Mr. Emory has tak­en out from behind the pay­wall of his Patre­on plat­form.

The pro­gram ana­lyzes the pro­found Ger­man and Nazi links to Mohammed Atta and his milieux in both Ham­burg, Ger­many and the Unit­ed States.

In addi­tion, the broad­cast sets forth the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a cyber false-flag ter­ror­ist inci­dent, with the CIA’s cyber-war­fare capa­bil­i­ty specif­i­cal­ly designed to mim­ic Iran­ian hack­ers, among oth­ers.

Key Points of Analy­sis and Dis­cus­sion Include: Analy­sis of Ernst Uhrlau’s curi­ous career path­way; Uhrlau’s head­ing of the Ham­burg police force when it was sur­veilling Mohammed Atta and the ter­ror­ist cells in Ham­burg; Uhrlau’s appoint­ment as spe­cial intel­li­gence advi­sor to Hel­mu Kohl; Uhrlau’s head­ing of the BND; Review of the BND and its Nazi char­ac­ter and ori­gin; Uhrlau’s purg­ing of the SS and Gestapo back­ground of 250 BND offi­cers; Mohamed Atta’s spon­sor­ship by the Carl Duis­berg Gesellschafft; Atta’s asso­ci­a­tion with Ger­mans in Flori­da; Atta’s asso­ci­a­tion with the off­spring of promi­nent Ger­man indus­tri­al­ists in Flori­da; Oper­a­tional links between SICO and unpub­lished accounts of the Clearstream net­work, con­trolled by the Deutsche Borse (the Ger­man stock exchange); The liq­ui­da­tion of finan­cial enti­ties by Fran­cois Genoud asso­ciate Bau­doin Dunand, fel­low SICO direc­tor Charles Rochat and Iran-Con­tra oper­a­tive Willard Zuck­er; The dis­tinct pos­si­bil­i­ty that the estab­lish­ment of the 16 unpub­lished  Clearstream accounts opened by SICO in the spring of 2001, the liq­ui­da­tion of key finan­cial enti­ties by Dunand, Zuck­er et al were the vehi­cle for Rudi Dekkers’ sud­den eco­nom­ic largesse in the fall of 2001.


FTR#1421 The Walls Came Tumbling Down: Nazis, Fascists and the 9/11 Attacks

Intro­duc­tion: With hos­til­i­ties in the Iran war esca­lat­ing, the pos­si­bil­i­ty of a false-flag ter­ror­ist inci­dent is one we must con­tem­plate. In that con­text, the real­i­ty of the 9/11 attacks should be care­ful­ly weighed. The cen­tral role of Nazis and fas­cists in the attacks, as well as the links of that fas­cist milieu to the high­est lev­els of the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion are fun­da­men­tal to an under­stand­ing of that event.

These arti­cles were tak­en out from behind the pay­wall on Mr. Emory’s Patre­on plat­form.


“The Walls Came Tumbling Down: Nazis, Fascists and the 9/11 Attacks,” Parts 1 and 2

With the anniver­sary of the 9/11 attacks upon us, Mr. Emory unpacks two arti­cles from his Patre­on plat­form: “The Walls Came Tum­bling Down: Nazis, Fas­cists and the 9/11 Attacks” Parts 1 and 2. These arti­cles and Dav­e’s cor­nu­copia of anti-fas­cist talks, arti­cles and Zoom inter­views with oth­er experts are fun­da­men­tal to under­stand­ing the hor­ror show unfold­ing around us. As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu. There is no bet­ter way of ful­fill­ing that oblig­a­tion than by obtain­ing the lat­est flash dri­ve, con­tain­ing all of Dav­e’s 45+ years on the air and a library of old anti-fas­cist books.

FTR#1320 “La Plus Ca Change. . . .”

This pro­gram is a “blast from the past.” Record­ed just past mid­night on 9/20/2001, this broad­cast is a [some­what dis­tort­ed] con­ver­sa­tion record­ed via tele­phone hookup.

Speak­ing with the late Roy of Hol­ly­wood, Mr. Emory parsed some of the intel­li­gence infor­ma­tion that was avail­able a lit­tle over a week after the attacks.

The pro­gram con­cludes with an eerie state­ment by Roy, fore­shad­ow­ing what is tak­ing place in the Mid­dle East today.


R.I.P. Daniel Hopsicker

Over many years, it was Mr. Emory’s priv­i­lege and hon­or to have inter­viewed Daniel Hop­sick­er fre­quent­ly and at length. In the wake of his pass­ing from can­cer on 8/22/2023 at the age of 72, we mourn the loss of this pro­fes­sion­al, and yet can be very glad for his hav­ing shared his work with us. Dr. Jef­frey Sachs “pret­ty con­vinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab. WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE. Mr. Emory emphat­i­cal­ly rec­om­mends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash dri­ve con­tain­ing all of Mr. Emory’s 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fas­cist books on easy-to-down­load PDF files.


FTR#1307 Interview with Peter Vogel (Reprise of FTR#444 Because of the Attention Generated by the Movie “Oppenheimer”)

Fol­low­ing up infor­ma­tion pre­sent­ed in Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Show M23 and FTRs 129, 163, this broad­cast fea­tures the land­mark research of Peter Vogel on the Port Chica­go explo­sion of 7/17/1944. One of the largest man-made dis­as­ters in his­to­ry, the Port Chica­go explo­sion claimed the lives of 320 sailors, 220 of them African Amer­i­cans. Sub­se­quent­ly, African-Amer­i­can sailors refused to con­tin­ue load­ing ammu­ni­tion at Port Chica­go and were con­vict­ed of Mutiny. Offi­cial­ly the explo­sion of con­ven­tion­al muni­tions aboard an ammu­ni­tion ship, the E.A. Bryan, the Port Chica­go blast was actu­al­ly the test of an ear­ly atom­ic weapon, the auto­cat­alyt­ic ura­ni­um hydride lat­er­al implo­sion exper­i­men­tal device—named the Mark II. After relat­ing Peter’s long odyssey explor­ing the explo­sion and the offi­cial dis­sem­bling that sur­rounds the event, the pro­gram relates the fas­ci­nat­ing doc­u­men­tary trail con­firm­ing the nature of the explo­sion and the chronol­o­gy of this ear­ly, sig­nif­i­cant step in the devel­op­ment of the atom­ic weapons.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Peter’s proof that a suf­fi­cient amount of fis­sion­able mate­r­i­al for test­ing a fis­sion weapon was avail­able in 1944 (despite offi­cial pro­nounce­ments to the con­trary); the neg­a­tive reac­tions of Edward Teller (father of the H‑bomb) and Don­ald Kerr (direc­tor of Los Alam­os Nation­al Lab­o­ra­to­ry) to Peter’s inquiries about Port Chica­go; the tremen­dous inter­est of the Los Alam­os Nation­al Lab­o­ra­to­ry in this (sup­pos­ed­ly con­ven­tion­al) explo­sion; the back­ground of Cap­tain William Par­sons (the point man for the Los Alam­os research on Port Chica­go); the char­ac­ter­is­tics of the explo­sion that pin­point it as being a nuclear fis­sion blast; cor­re­spon­dence among some of the prin­ci­pals in the Man­hat­tan Project con­firm­ing that the Port Chica­go explo­sion was a test of the Mark II; indi­ca­tions that the Ger­mans were work­ing on a ura­ni­um hydride weapon; Sovi­et espi­onage on the Man­hat­tan Project that indi­cat­ed aware­ness of the test of Mark II; the pos­si­ble sig­nif­i­cance of the Port Chica­go explo­sion for the revo­ca­tion of Robert Oppen­heimer’s secu­ri­ty clear­ance; the sig­nif­i­cance of the Port Chica­go explo­sion in the his­to­ry of African-Amer­i­can civ­il lib­er­ties.

Note: This descrip­tion is for­mat­ted by pre­sent­ing the ques­tions that Dave asked Peter Vogel, and then a syn­op­tic overview of Peter’s response. For more detailed infor­ma­tion about the Port Chica­go explo­sion, see The Last Wave from Port Chica­go.


FTR#1301 Who Killed Terry Yeakey?

This pro­gram inves­ti­gates the sus­pi­cious death of Ter­ry Yeakey, an Okla­homa City police­man who was one of the first respon­ders in the Okla­homa City bomb­ing of 1995. Crit­i­cal of the offi­cial ver­sion of the sto­ry, he was found shot in the head–an alleged sui­cide. His death may very well have been a mur­der.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis: Ter­ry Yeakey’s belief that the offi­cial ver­sion of the bomb­ing was a cov­er-up; His own inves­tiga­tive efforts; Appar­ent efforts to thwart his inves­ti­ga­tion; The dis­ap­pear­ance of key reports crit­i­cal of the offi­cial ver­sion of the bomb­ing; Numer­ous wit­ness accounts of a sec­ond per­son in the Ryder truck car­ry­ing the bomb; Appar­ent sur­veil­lance  of indi­vid­u­als crit­i­cal of the offi­cial ver­sion and and break-ins at their res­i­dences; Indi­ca­tions that Ter­ry Yeakey may have been tor­tured and hung; Thwart­ing of the efforts of oth­er first respon­ders whose accounts dif­fered with the offi­cial ver­sion; Recap of the alle­ga­tions against Andreas Strass­meier by ATF infor­mant Car­ol Howe; Links between the OK City bomb­ing and oth­er ter­ror­ist inci­dents.


Latest Patreon Talks: Comparison with Japanese Pre-WWII Child-Rearing and Contemporary American Behavior; Reflections on Death of Ayman Al-Zawahiri

In the lat­est Patre­on talks–three, one-hour pre­sen­ta­tions per week–Mr. Emory com­pares the mil­i­tary incul­ca­tion of Japan­ese youth in the pre-World War II peri­od with the sub­mer­sion of Amer­i­can boys in a cog­ni­tive mil­i­tary cul­ture pre­sent­ed by movies, TV, video-games and the Inter­net. In addi­tion, we review the role of Mohammed Al-Zawahiri–the late Ayman’s brother–with the Egypt­ian Mus­lim Broth­er­hood, al-Qae­da, and the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Beng­hazi. Ukrain­ian tele­vi­sion anchor quotes Adolf Eich­mann ver­ba­tim in this video from UKRAINE 24. This video of Ukraine’s top mil­i­tary med­ical offi­cer dis­cussing an order to cas­trate Russ­ian males is an eye-open­er.

How Did Donald Trump Observe The 20th Anniversary of 9/11?

In numer­ous pro­grams, we have not­ed that the Uni­fi­ca­tion Church–founded by Rev­erend Sun Myung Moon–may very well be an exten­sion of the Japan­ese Patri­ot­ic and Nation­al­ist Soci­eties around the world and down through the decades. It is alto­geth­er in char­ac­ter that Don­ald Trump spent the 20th anniver­sary of the 9/11 attacks giv­ing a vir­tu­al address to this orga­ni­za­tion. ” . . . . In the past Hyung Jin ‘Sean’ Moon, the son of the Moons, cam­paigned for Mr Trump and attend­ed the US Capi­tol insur­rec­tion on 6 Jan­u­ary. . . .” Ear­li­er in the year, for­mer Vice-Pres­i­dent Mike Pence and for­mer CIA direc­tor and State Depart­ment chief Mike Pom­peo gave talks to the same group. ” . . . . the the­ol­o­gy pushed by the Moons and their devo­tees chal­lenges the basic Chris­tian­i­ty embraced by so many con­ser­v­a­tives. The Moons’ claim to be the mes­si­ahs, of course, runs counter to main­stream Chris­tian­i­ty. And one Uni­fi­ca­tion tenet pro­mot­ed by a senior per­son in the move­ment is that Chris­tian­i­ty is essen­tial­ly over. . . .” WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE.


Failure

In the first two pro­grams after the 9/11 attacks, Mr. Emory pre­sent­ed excerpts from his pro­grams which direct­ly fore­shad­owed the attacks. That event and those that fol­lowed embody the fail­ure of Amer­i­can soci­ety. Serge Schme­mann wrote the lead arti­cle for “The New York Times” the day after the attack. He also craft­ed a “hit-piece” review of Christo­pher Simp­son’s “Blow­back.” That is not sur­pris­ing, giv­en Schme­man­n’s back­ground and some of the “Gray Lady’s” hir­ing prac­tices.
