FTR#‘s 1341, 1342, 1343 and 1344 Conversations with Monte: Conversations #‘s 15, 16, 17 and 18

Intro­duc­tion: These pro­grams set forth dis­cus­sion of the polit­i­cal and his­tor­i­cal links between “Team Trump” and the fas­cist regimes of Hitler, Fran­cis­co Fran­co and Augus­to Pinochet.

A recent book label­ing oppo­nents of Trump et al as “Unhu­mans.”

The net­works to which Vance, Trump and the GOP belong have evolved direct­ly from the milieu of the JFK Assas­si­na­tion.

“Vance Just Endorsed a Trou­bling Author­i­tar­i­an Book” by Michelle Gold­berg; The New York Times; 8/07/2024, p. A22 (West­ern print edi­tion) .

. . . . “Unhu­mans,” an anti-demo­c­ra­t­ic screed that [Jack] Poso­biec wrote with Joshua Lisec, comes with endorse­ments from some of the most influ­en­tial peo­ple in Repub­li­can pol­i­tics, includ­ing, most sig­nif­i­cant­ly, the vice-Pres­i­den­tial can­di­date J.D. Vance.

The word “fas­cist” gets thrown around a lot in pol­i­tics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for “Unhu­mans” which came out last month.

. . . . Often, they write, “great men of means” are required to crush this scourge [the “Unhu­mans”]. The con­tempt for democ­ra­cy in “Unhu­mans” is not sub­tle. “Our study of his­to­ry has brought us to this con­clu­sion: Democ­ra­cy has nev­er worked to pro­tect inno­cents from the unhu­mans,” write Poso­biec and Lisec.

One of the book’s heroes is the Span­ish dic­ta­tor Fran­cis­co Fran­co, who over­threw the demo­c­ra­t­ic Sec­ond Span­ish Repub­lic in the country’s 1930’s civ­il war. . . . They quote him on what doesn’t work against the unhu­man threat: “We do not believe in gov­ern­ment through the vot­ing booth. The Span­ish nation­al will was nev­er freely expressed through the bal­lot box.” . . . .

. . . . “Unhu­mans” lauds Augus­to Pinochet, the leader of the Chilean mil­i­tary who led a coup against Sal­vador Allende’s elect­ed gov­ern­ment in 1973, ush­er­ing in a reign of tor­ture and repres­sion that involved toss­ing polit­i­cal ene­mies from heli­copters.

Pinochet-inspired heli­copter memes have been com­mon in the MAGA move­ment for years. And as the his­to­ri­an David Austin Walsh wrote last year, there has long been a cult of Fran­co on the right. . . .

. . . . [The Great Amer­i­can Counter Rev­o­lu­tion] is achiev­able but only with the resolve of Fran­co and the thor­ough­ness of [Sen­a­tor Joseph] McCarthy.” . . . .

. . . . “Much like the Unit­ed States found­ing fathers, Fran­co and his fel­lows saw them­selves as rebels intend­ed to over­throw a cor­rupt, tyran­ni­cal gov­ern­ment that aid­ed and abet­ted mur­der and rape as well as oth­er repug­nant sins” . . . .

Top­ics of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: The evo­lu­tion of the milieu under­ly­ing Fran­co, Pinochet and the con­tem­po­rary GOP from an inter­na­tion­al drug and weapons net­work inex­tri­ca­bly linked with the intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty; The role of Chi­nese fas­cists under the Kuom­intang includ­ing Tai Li and Tu Yueh Sheng in this net­work; The role of Gen­er­al Charles Willough­by in the devel­op­ment of this net­work; Links between this net­work and the assas­si­na­tion of JFK; Links between this net­work and the Bay of Pigs inva­sion; Nazi SS com­man­do Otto Skorzeny’s net­work­ing with the Vat­i­can and Gio­van­ni Bat­tista Mon­ti­ni, the Vat­i­can’s sec­re­tary of state and lat­er Pope Paul VI; The Vatican’s pro­found involve­ment with fas­cism; The role of Fran­cis­co Fran­co in financ­ing an off­shore, anti-Cas­tro  radio net­work oper­at­ed by Texas oil mag­nate Clint Murchi­son; U.S. defense con­trac­tor Ling, Tem­co Vought’s own­er­ship of the anten­nae used by Radio Nord; The sus­pi­cious death of CIA offi­cer Gary Under­hill, who alleged­ly com­mit­ted sui­cide after fin­ger­ing the intelligence/narcotics/weapons traf­fick­ing ring with the assas­si­na­tion of JFK, Underhill’s role edit­ing Pen­ta­gon reports about Willoughby’s com­man­do oper­a­tions in Asia; Underhill’s role as (arguably) the CIA’s top expert on small arms; Fox News founder and king­pin Roger Ailes’ role with the Nixon, Rea­gan and George H.W.

Intro­duc­tion: These pro­grams set forth the legal con­cept of “Choke­holds” on the JFK assassination–dynamics that prove, legal­ly, that there was a con­spir­a­cy.

These do not nec­es­sar­i­ly res­onate pre­cise­ly with aspects of the his­tor­i­cal record, which embraces, but does not delin­eate, prin­ci­ples of law.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: How some lawyers intro­duced the con­cepts we dis­cuss; What is the con­cept of “con­silience?;” Ana­lyze the “Inves­ti­ga­tions Timeline”—detailed in the Intro­duc­tion; What is meant by “Stan­dard of Proof?”; How does “Beyond a Rea­son­able Doubt” fig­ure into the “Choke­holds” con­cept?; How does “Civ­il Stan­dards of Proof” fac­tor in?; How does the HSCA Stan­dard of Proof” fac­tor in?; How does the ARRB’s Stan­dard of Proof fac­tor in?; Finally—the JFK Assas­si­na­tions Choke­hold Stan­dard of Proof”—How does this fac­tor in?; Analy­sis of the 60 years of obstruc­tion of jus­tice in the JFK case; Analy­sis of the Rock­e­feller Com­mis­sion; The Rock­e­feller Com­mis­sion’s inclu­sion of Lyman Lem­nitzer and Ronald Reagan–two very strange choic­es; The Rock­e­feller Com­mis­sion’s selec­tion of War­ren Com­mis­sion coun­sel David Belin to han­dle its legal maneu­ver­ing; The Rock­e­feller Com­mis­sion’s use of Richard Lindenberg–a Paper­clip vet­er­an; Review of the deep polit­i­cal role of Leon Jawors­ki in the tri­al over the killing of Cor­po­ral Kun­ze, the Dachau Med­ical tri­als and his par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Texas Court of Inquiry along with Robert Storey; Review of net­work­ing between Ray Roc­ca, Paul Patri­ni and James Angle­ton dat­ing back to World War II; The House Select Com­mit­tee on Assas­si­na­tions’ use of George Joan­nides as a liai­son with the CIA; Review of Joan­nides’ work with Car­los Bringuier and the DRE at the time of the Kennedy assas­si­na­tion; review of the HSCA’s endorse­ment of the doc­tored autop­sy evi­dence at Bethes­da; Review of Water­gate and Nixon’s pres­ence in Dal­las on 11/22/1963.


FTR#1321 The Assassination of John Lennon

Intro­duc­tion: As the title sug­gests, this pro­gram sets forth facts about John Lennon’s mur­der.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion of Lennon’s Killing Include: The fact that the bul­lets that killed Lennon entered from his left side, where­as pat­sy Mark David Chap­man was on Lennon’s right; The door­man at Lennon’s res­i­dence, who was stand­ing on Lennon’s left was José San­jenís Per­do­mo, a “for­mer” oper­a­tive for the CIA; Per­do­mo’s back­ground in the CIA’s Bay of Pigs oper­a­tion and pri­or ser­vice as a chief of police in pre-Cas­tro Cuba; Per­do­mo’s alleged links to Water­gate bur­glar and JFK assas­si­na­tion par­tic­i­pant Frank Stur­gis; Per­do­mo’s six-hours of con­ver­sa­tion with Chap­man pri­or Lennon’s return from the record­ing stu­dio; an eye­wit­ness’s alle­ga­tion that Per­do­mo did the shoot­ing; Per­do­mo’s seiz­ing of the alleged mur­der weapon, which was not test­ed for fin­ger­prints; Chap­man’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in a music club in Hawaii, to which Amer­i­can Nazi, Rea­gan shoot­ing pat­sy and Bush asso­ciate John Hinck­ley, Jr. also belonged; The extreme­ly unlike­ly pos­si­bil­i­ty that Chap­man could have per­formed the marks­man­ship required to kill Lennon; The pos­si­bil­i­ty that Chap­man may have been a mind-con­trolled pat­sy; Chap­man’s prison vis­its by MKULTRA asso­ciates Bernard Dia­mond and Nathan Kline; Yoko Ono’s cre­ma­tion of Lennon’s corpse with­in 36 hours of the killing; Ono’s strong links to the Yasu­da Zaibat­su; Ono’s par­tic­i­pa­tion in the recon­se­cra­tion of a Japan­ese Shin­to tem­ple, destroyed in the after­math of the attack on Pearl Har­bor; Ono’s asso­ci­a­tion with an antique deal­er and alleged CIA con­tract agent.

Grateful, Tearful Farewell to Roy of Hollywood: Rest In Peace, My Brother

Since 1987, For The Record and the oth­er Archive Shows and lec­tures I have record­ed over the decades have gone out on the South­ern Cal­i­for­nia air­waves from San­ta Bar­bara to the Mex­i­can Bor­der. Those broad­casts were real­ized by Roy of Hol­ly­wood, real name Roy Tuck­man.  His long-run­ning pro­gram has held down the mid­night to 5am slot on Mon­day through Thurs­day nights (tech­ni­cal­ly Tues­day through Fri­day morn­ings) for more than 40 years. Ear­ly on Thurs­day morn­ing (4/20/2023), Roy passed away rough­ly two months short of what would have been his 85th birth­day. Dr. Jef­frey Sachs “pret­ty con­vinced” Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.

FTR#‘s 1294, 1295, 1296 The End and the Beginning, Parts One, Two and Three

Tak­ing stock of sev­er­al dynam­ics that threat­en to end our species and civ­i­liza­tion, this  begins series with analy­sis of the back­ground and phi­los­o­phy of Klaus Schwab, his father, his men­tor Hen­ry Kissinger and transna­tion­al cor­po­rate influ­ences on the deci­sive­ly impor­tant World Eco­nom­ic Forum.

Key Points of Analy­sis and Dis­cus­sion Include: The Esch­er-Wyss firm of Switzer­land; Its employ­ment of Klaus Schwab and his father; The com­pa­ny’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with Nazi Ger­man; The com­pa­ny’s role in pro­duc­ing tech­nol­o­gy for the Third Reich’s atom­ic bomb pro­gram; Klaus Schwab’s aca­d­e­m­ic men­tor­ing by Hen­ry Kissinger, Kissinger’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Nazi intel­li­gence milieu import­ed into the U.S. after WWII; The Esch­er-Wyss fir­m’s col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Apartheid South African nuclear pro­gram; The deci­sive influ­ence of the Club of Rome on the World Eco­nom­ic Forum; the WEF’s qua­si-eugen­ics poli­cies.

We then note that Peter Thiel’s father also worked on the Apartheid South African atom­ic bomb.

The series then chron­i­cles analy­sis by elite Pen­ta­gon-con­nect­ed sci­en­tists that CO2 could be used as a weapon of mass-destruc­tion.

Next, we high­light the [belat­ed] alarm that AI’s could pro­duce the enslave­ment and/or destruc­tion of soci­ety.

Over the decades, Mr. Emory’s analy­sis has focused on the enor­mous impor­tance of Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion. The series next high­lights some of the Nazi con­nec­tions to that promi­nent event.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: The Joint Chiefs’ meet­ing with their Ger­man coun­ter­parts [all WWII vet­er­ans] in the Pen­ta­gon on the after­noon of 11/22/1963; The pri­ma­ry role of Gen­er­al Ger­hard Wes­sel in the Gehlen orga­ni­za­tion, from WWII to his suc­ceed­ing of Rein­hard Gehlen as head of the BND; Lud­wig Erhard’s sched­uled state din­ner on 11/25/1963–the day of JFK’s funer­al; Lud­wig Erhard’s net­work­ing with the SS and plan­ning for the post WWII eco­nom­ic revival of the Third Reich; Nazi Gen­er­al Adolf Heusinger’s ascent to the top NATO mil­i­tary posi­tion, a role that gave him an office in the Pen­ta­gon.

We con­clude with brief dis­cus­sion of the use of Agent Orange in Viet­nam, a sub­ject to which we will return in our next pro­gram in the series.
