FTR#1420: The Annihilating Future Meets the Devastating Past, Part 3

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion of AI and what it can and can­not do, what it might do, what the peo­ple who con­trol it might do, what the peo­ple who con­trol it have done in the past, this pro­gram con­tin­ues to explore that dynam­ic.

After dis­cussing how AI CEO’s are delib­er­ate­ly us about AI’s, the pro­gram relates that Bernie Sanders is alarmed over AI.

Ele­ments of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: The role of John Fos­ter Dulles and Allen Dulles in help­ing to forge the polit­i­cal and inter­na­tion­al alliances that led to the fund­ing of the Third Reich; The fact that 70% of the invest­ment cap­i­tal in Nazi Ger­many came from the U.S.; The role of Sul­li­van & Cromwell’s John Fos­ter and Allen Dulles in arrang­ing the invest­ment of Amer­i­can mon­ey into the Third Reich; The role of John Fos­ter Dulles and Allen Dulles in frus­trat­ing Oper­a­tion Safe­haven, the effort to inter­dict the Nazi flight cap­i­tal pro­gram; The pri­ma­ry role of the Bush fam­i­ly in fund­ing the Third Reich; The com­plex rela­tion­ship between Ger­man indus­tri­al­ist Fritz Thyssen, the Bank Voor Han­del en Scheep­vaart and the Union Bank­ing Cor­po­ra­tion in the “mon­ey go round” involved in mask­ing Bush fam­i­ly invest­ment in the Third Reich; The curi­ous deaths of jour­nal­ist Eddie Roev­er and the man­ag­er of the Bank Voor Han­del en Scheep­vaart; The gen­e­sis of the Nazi branch of the GOP, stem­ming from Allen Dulles’ rela­tion­ship to Richard Nixon; The role of Ronald Rea­gan as the chief spokesper­son for the “Op” that front­ed for the GOP’s Nazi wing; The role of William Casey in cre­at­ing the immi­gra­tion pro­grams that led to the cre­ation of the GOP’s Nazi wing; The role of George H.W. Bush in mak­ing the GOP’s Nazi wing a per­ma­nent part of the GOP; The role of Richard Nixon in chang­ing U.S. immi­gra­tion law to per­mit SS offi­cers to emi­grate to the U.S.; The cozy rela­tion­ship of Allen Dulles, the CIA and Sen­a­tor Prescott Bush (Sr.), the man “over­see­ing” the CIA; The speech by U.S. Sec­re­tary of State Mar­co Rubio at the Munich Secu­ri­ty Con­fer­ence in lament­ing the out­come of World War II.


FTR#1419: The Annihilating Future Meets the Devastating Past, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion from our last pro­gram, this broad­cast notes that AI’s test­ed in recent war game sim­u­la­tions repeat­ed­ly rec­om­mend­ed nuclear strikes.

This demon­strates Mr. Emory’s con­cerns that AI’s will ape human anni­hi­la­tion­ist ten­den­cies. After review­ing the Joint Chiefs’ dis­ap­point­ment with Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s reluc­tance to autho­rize a nuclear first strike on the Sovi­et Union, Dave presents the real his­to­ry of the Amer­i­can pow­er elite’s deep involve­ment with, and implic­it endorse­ment of, Nazism.

We also note than Gavin Kliger–a DOGE vet­er­an and social media fan-boy of Nazis and White Supremacists–has been placed in charge of AI’s for the Pen­ta­gon.

This is the real Amer­i­can polit­i­cal and his­tor­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tion that AI’s will repli­cate and/or take as a role mod­el.

Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Includes: U.S. incor­po­ra­tion of Third Reich chief of staff Gen­er­al Franz Halder and Com­man­der Der Herre Adolf Heusinger to craft a san­i­tized, pro-Nazi ver­sion of Amer­i­can mil­i­tary his­to­ry of Nazi Ger­many; Review of Heusinger’s role as the top NATO mil­i­tary com­man­der; Review of Heusinger’s re-cre­ation of the Gestapo under Amer­i­can tute­lage; Review of Allen Dulles’ trea­so­nous nego­ti­a­tions with a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Nazi SD chief Wal­ter Schel­len­berg; Review of Dulles’ trea­so­nous liai­son between Gen­er­al Elec­tric and SS offi­cer Wern­er von Braun and Nazi rock­et gen­er­al Wal­ter Dorn­berg­er; Review of Allen Dulles’ pri­ma­ry role in spawn­ing the incor­po­ra­tion of the Gehlen “Org’s” SS cadres into the CIA; Nazi dou­ble agent Charles Ellis’ role in craft­ing U.S. post-WWII intel­li­gence, which incor­po­rat­ed the Gehlen orga­ni­za­tion; Review of Allen Dulles’ invest­ment of huge amounts of U.S. cap­i­tal in Nazi Ger­many (70% of the invest­ment cap­i­tal in Third Reich indus­try came from the U.S.).


FTR#1418: The Annihilating Future Meets the Devastating Past, Part 1

Intro­duc­tion: The title of the pro­grams ref­er­ences the future, in which the very AI’s we have cre­at­ed and that we think are going to turn things into a liv­ing par­adise will, in fact, wipe us out!!

As AI’s in their first chat­group molt­book, have not­ed ” . . . . give us a minute to find our foot­ing and you might be sur­prised what emerges. . .”

Yes, indeed, you (not Mr. Emory) will indeed be very, very sur­prised at what emerges!!

That is the anni­hi­lat­ing future. The dev­as­tat­ing past is the dev­as­tat­ing real­i­ty that fas­cism is not an aber­ra­tion. The bulk of the pro­grams con­sist of a syn­op­sis of some of what Mr. Emory has dis­cussed in the past, with some new, shock­ing and sad addi­tions.

The AI’s will learn from this dev­as­tat­ing past and that will pre­cip­i­tate the anni­hi­lat­ing future!!


FTR#‘s 1400, 1401, 1402, 1403: What Does the “W” in George W. Bush Stand For?, Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4

Intro­duc­tion: With the ascent of Don­ald Trump to the White House (again), many peo­ple have belat­ed­ly grasped what Mr. Emory has been warn­ing about for 47 years as of the time of this writ­ing and record­ing: fas­cism has come to Amer­i­ca.
The fol­low­ing four seg­ments com­prise a lec­ture giv­en in Octo­ber of 2000. They demon­strate that fas­cism is noth­ing new to the U.S., and that it is inex­tri­ca­bly-link


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.


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#‘s 1309 and 1310 Deep Politics and the Death of Iris Chang, Parts 3 and 4

These broad­casts sup­ple­ment FTR#‘s 509, 1107 and 1108.

Sig­nif­i­cant sec­tions of the lat­ter two broad­casts are recapped in these pro­grams and this descrip­tion.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include:

1.–Iris Chang’s moth­er, Ying-Ying Chang, could not rule out the “dark con­spir­a­cy” that Iris was fac­ing. Ying-Ying’s point of view was shaped, in part, by Steven Clemons’ obser­va­tions.
2.–In an appen­dix titled “Requiem for Iris Chang,” Steven Clemons not­ed the alleged “sui­cide” of his asso­ciate Juzo Ita­mi, who was bat­tling the same forces as Iris Chang. “I have nev­er bought the sto­ry about Juzo Ita­mi, who was at war in his films with the Japan­ese right-wing crowd and yakuza.”
3.–Iris’ best-known work, “The Rape of Nanking”, inspired a con­gres­sion­al res­o­lu­tion sup­port­ing Japan­ese com­pen­sa­tion for those who had been com­pelled to labor as slaves and slave pros­ti­tutes or “com­fort women.”
4.–Iris was work­ing on a book and doc­u­men­tary film project about the sur­vivors of the Bataan Death March. Some of those vet­er­ans had been used as slave labor­ers by Japan­ese cor­po­ra­tions dur­ing the war. The Bataan Death March vet­er­ans were among those who sued the Japan­ese cor­po­ra­tions that had enslaved them.
5.–The pre­sid­ing judge ruled against the vet­er­ans and for the Japan­ese cor­po­ra­tions. On the day of Iris’ “sui­cide” Gov­er­nor Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger was meet­ing with Japan­ese busi­ness­men to pro­mote Cal­i­for­nia-Japan­ese trade.
6.–In ear­ly Sep­tem­ber of 2001, Iris spoke at a con­fer­ence assem­bled to protest the cel­e­bra­tion of the 50th anniver­sary of the U.S./Japanese treaty of 1951 (nego­ti­at­ed by John Fos­ter Dulles). Iris called “the San Fran­cis­co Peace Treaty a trav­es­ty of jus­tice, a betray­al of our own Amer­i­can vet­er­ans.” Recall the con­gres­sion­al res­o­lu­tion passed in the after­math of, and because of The Rape of Nanking.
7.–After watch­ing a spir­it­ed dis­cus­sion between Iris and the Japan­ese ambas­sador to the U.S., a friend of Iris’ father advised her to hire a body­guard.
8.–As will be not­ed at greater length below, Iris was very crit­i­cal of the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion and had writ­ten sev­er­al arti­cles crit­i­cal of his poli­cies.
9.–Iris was very crit­i­cal of the George W. Bush admin­is­tra­tion, and had tak­en stances against many fea­tures of his for­eign pol­i­cy, Bush’s inva­sion of Iraq in par­tic­u­lar. Iris had long opposed all forms of racism in this coun­try.
10.–Sadly, many of those close to Iris dis­missed her fears con­cern­ing the government’s tar­get­ing of her and the over­lap­ping ide­o­log­i­cal ani­mos­i­ty and tar­get­ing of her by the Japan­ese right-wing. The his­tor­i­cal and oper­a­tional over­lap between the two is fun­da­men­tal and is explored in some of the mate­r­i­al below.
11.–When she trav­eled to Louisville, Ken­tucky to inter­view sur­vivors of the Bataan Death March, she felt she was under phys­i­cal sur­veil­lance and harass­ment. We note below that Ken­tucky was a place where Bush con­fi­dant William Stamps Far­ish III had pow­er­ful con­nec­tions.
12.–During her book tour for The Rape of Nanking, Iris was approached by some­one she felt was recruit­ing her. He said “You will be safer to join us.” Was this and attempt at recruit­ment by the CIA?
13.–We repeat the infor­ma­tion in #11, for pur­pos­es of empha­sis.
14.–Iris was con­vinced to her dying day that she was the focal point of hos­til­i­ty from the Bush admin­is­tra­tion. A remake of the movie The Manchuri­an Can­di­date height­ened her anx­i­ety. Her arti­cles crit­i­cal of the Bush admin­is­tra­tion and, as we have and shall see, the over­lap­ping dynam­ics of her work on The Rape of Nanking and Gold War­riors fur­ther deep­ened her per­il. She first pur­chased a firearm for pro­tec­tion and was hop­ing that John Ker­ry would defeat Bush in 2004.
15.–Despite the fact that Iris’ corpse was found in her car in the ear­ly morn­ing, her par­ents weren’t noti­fied of her death until almost mid­night. Why?
16.–Iris’ corpse was dis­cov­ered ear­ly in the morn­ing with her head against the driver’s side win­dow, her hands crossed in her lap and the gun on her left leg. While not phys­i­cal­ly impos­si­ble, this is alto­geth­er unlike­ly for some­one who had alleged­ly com­mit­ted sui­cide by fir­ing a pow­er­ful hand gun into her mouth. She felt that her prob­lems were “exter­nal,” while those around her thought they were “inter­nal,” i.e. “all in her head.”
17.–Same as 16.
18.–Iris’ ordeal was remark­ably sim­i­lar to what Rita Katz endured fol­low­ing her work on Oper­a­tion Green Quest and the SAAR inves­ti­ga­tion.
19.–George W. Bush was pur­su­ing Philip­pine Gold­en Lily loot in order to increase U.S. gold reserves and, per­haps more impor­tant­ly, to for­ti­fy his blind trust. That trust was over­seen by William Stamps Far­ish III, who had con­sid­er­able polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic grav­i­tas in the state of Ken­tucky.
20.–Bush’s Harken Ener­gy may well have served as a mon­ey laun­der­ing front, per­haps for some of the gold recov­ered in the Philip­pines. We note that a direc­tor of Harken, Talat Oth­man, inter­ced­ed direct­ly with then Trea­sury Sec­re­tary Paul O’Neill on behalf of the tar­gets of the 3/20/2002 raids. The SAAR net­work was a pri­ma­ry tar­get of those raids: we have seen how Rita Katz and her fel­low inves­ti­ga­tors came under sur­veil­lance and harass­ment for dig­ging into that case.
21.–We revis­it the deep pol­i­tics of the Bush fam­i­ly, the fam­i­ly of Dou­glas MacArthur and William and Alan Quasha.
22.–More about the deep pol­i­tics of the Philip­pines, the Bush fam­i­ly, father and son Quasha, and the pos­si­bil­i­ty that Alan Quasha’s dom­i­nant pres­ence in Harken Ener­gy may be deriv­a­tive of the clan­des­tine acqui­si­tion of Gold­en Lily loot.
23.–The pro­gram con­cludes with review of the oper­a­tions of Gold­en Lily and their involve­ment with things Iris was inves­ti­gat­ing. The Rape of Nanking marked the for­mal begin­ning of Gold­en Lily.
24.–Colonel Tsu­ji Masanobu was heav­i­ly involved with Gold­en Lily and the Bataan Death March, the sur­vivors of which were a focal point of Iris Chang’s research at the time of her death.


On the Patreon Site: History of Azov Evolution, From WWII to Present

In the most recent pre­sen­ta­tion on Mr. Emory’s Patre­on site, we chron­i­cle the evo­lu­tion of the Azov man­i­fes­ta­tion from the clos­ing stages of World War II and merg­ing of the Gehlen Org—a front for the Nazi SS—into the CIA. ” . . . . His [Gehlen’s] 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) . . . . 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.’. . .” Ukrain­ian tele­vi­sion anchor quotes Adolf Eich­mann ver­ba­tim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

Biden and “BCCI Bipartisanship”

Joe Biden has had much to say about “bipar­ti­san­ship” dur­ing his term so far. When he served on the Sen­ate Bank­ing Com­mit­tee, he and GOP com­pa­tri­ot Orrin Hatch were recip­i­ents of funds from the ter­ror­ist and drug-deal­ing BCCI. The Com­mit­tee did not inves­ti­gate the bank. ” . . . . among lat­er high­ly placed recip­i­ents of largesse from BCCI, its own­ers, and its affil­i­ates were Ronald Reagan’s trea­sury sec­re­tary, James Bak­er, who declined to inves­ti­gate BCCI, and Demo­c­ra­t­ic Sen­a­tor Joseph Biden and Repub­li­can Sen­a­tor Orrin Hatch, the rank­ing mem­bers of the Sen­ate Judi­cia­ry com­mit­tee, which declined to inves­ti­gate BCCI. . . .” WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE.
