FTR#‘s 1415, 1416 & 1417: Interviews 1, 2 & 3 with Ed Haslam and Dr.‘s Alan Cantwell, Len Horowitz and Garth Nicolson

Intro­duc­tion: Thir­ty years ago, Mr. Emory brought togeth­er researchers whose work set the pace for inquiries into the ori­gins of AIDS as well as Gulf War Syn­drome.

That land­mark broad­cast brings togeth­er four indi­vid­u­als with exper­tise bear­ing on the pos­si­bil­i­ty that AIDS and oth­er dis­eases may have been cre­at­ed in lab­o­ra­to­ries, rather than by nature.

Dr. Horowitz (author of Emerg­ing Virus­es: AIDS and Ebola—Nature, Acci­dent or Inten­tion­al, hard­cov­er, Tetra­he­dron, copy­right 1996) traces the prob­a­ble ori­gins of AIDS and Ebo­la to: a 10 mil­lion-dol­lar Pen­ta­gon project aimed at cre­at­ing dis­eases to destroy the human immune sys­tem; Richard Nixon’s “war on can­cer;” Lit­ton Bio­net­ics; the Nation­al Can­cer Insti­tute’s Spe­cial Virus Can­cer Research Pro­gram; the Mer­ck, Sharp and Dohme com­pa­ny and the cre­ation, test­ing and mar­ket­ing of vac­cines.

Dr. Cantwell (the author of numer­ous books includ­ing AIDS and The Doc­tors of Death, Aries Ris­ing Press, copy­right 1989) has devel­oped infor­ma­tion that dove­tails with Dr. Horow­itz’s research and focus­es on can­cer research and the test­ing of the exper­i­men­tal hepati­tis B vac­cine (pro­duced by Mer­ck, Sharp and Dohme) on gays in New York City.

Ed Haslam (author of Mary, Fer­rie and the Mon­key Virus: The Sto­ry of An Under­ground Med­ical Lab­o­ra­to­ry, Wordsworth Press, copy­right 1995) ana­lyzes the con­t­a­m­i­na­tion of the polio vac­cine with SV-40, a can­cer-caus­ing mon­key virus and dis­cuss­es the pos­si­bil­i­ty that this con­t­a­m­i­na­tion led to a soft-tis­sue can­cer epi­dem­ic cur­rent­ly sweep­ing the Unit­ed States. In addi­tion, Haslam presents the pos­si­bil­i­ty that AIDS may have result­ed (acci­den­tal­ly or delib­er­ate­ly) from this con­t­a­m­i­na­tion and research into pos­si­ble ways of neu­tral­iz­ing the SV-40. Haslam con­nects this research to the milieu involved in Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion and the mur­der of Dr. Mary Sher­man, a pio­neer in Amer­i­can can­cer research. Ed also notes Richard Nixon’s actions as Vice-Pres­i­dent, many of which fore­shad­owed his launch­ing of “The War On Cancer”–an appar­ent cov­er for bio­log­i­cal war­fare.

The con­clud­ing sec­tion of the pro­gram fea­tures Dr. Garth Nicol­son, who (along with his wife Dr. Nan­cy Nicol­son) has done research into a genet­i­cal­ly-altered micro-organ­ism, which appears to be caus­ing some of the ill­ness known as “Gulf War Syn­drome.” This organ­ism (called a mycoplas­ma), fea­tures the addi­tion of a gene from HIV, ren­der­ing it much more path­o­gen­ic. The broad­cast also cov­ers the fright­en­ing fact that ongo­ing U.S. vac­cine pro­duc­tion and admin­is­tra­tion is shroud­ed in secre­cy by the Food and Drug Admin­is­tra­tion. In addi­tion, many vac­cines cur­rent­ly being admin­is­tered are heav­i­ly con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed with virus­es and viral par­ti­cles, which may very well be caus­ing a vari­ety of dis­eases. Mr. Emory con­sid­ers this pro­gram to be one of the most impor­tant he has pro­duced in his almost two decades on the air.

FTR#‘s 1408 & 1409: Interviews with Hal Sanderson About the Process Church, Parts 1 and 2

Intro­duc­tion: These inter­views with the bril­liant Hal Sander­son set forth the Process Church of the Final Judge­ment, an orga­ni­za­tion most have nev­er heard of.

These inter­views were tak­en from behind the pay wall of Mr. Emory’s Patre­on plat­form.

We have touched on the orga­ni­za­tion in the Mis­cel­la­neous Archive Shows about The Ulti­mate Evil.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Mary De Grim­ston’s pri­ma­ry role in the devel­op­ment of the orga­ni­za­tion; Ms. De Grim­ston’s Nazi man­i­fes­ta­tions; The group’s orga­ni­za­tion­al rela­tion­ship with Tom­my Baum­ler, an Amer­i­can Nazi and one of the fig­ures oper­at­ing around Guy Ban­is­ter’s front orga­ni­za­tion at 544 Camp Street/531 Lafayette Place in New Orleans; The orga­ni­za­tion’s transna­tion­al and appar­ent intel­li­gence con­nec­tions; The group’s links to the para­plegic, post-assas­si­na­tion attempt George Wal­lace; The over-the-top gen­er­al­iza­tions that have mud­died the waters sur­round­ing the group.

Yes, Mr. Giroux: Is It Too Late?

Recent­ly, lead­ing pro­gres­sive intel­lec­tu­al Hen­ry Giroux penned an essay for Counterpunch.org. In the piece, Giroux accu­rate­ly assessed the cur­rent state of Amer­i­can polit­i­cal man­i­fes­ta­tion: “We live in per­ilous times. The mobi­liz­ing pas­sions of fas­cism are no longer a dis­tant echo of history—they are here, surg­ing through the Unit­ed States like an elec­tric cur­rent. We are in a peri­od of social, ide­o­log­i­cal, and racial cleans­ing. . . . Amer­i­cans are not wit­ness­ing a slow drift toward author­i­tar­i­an­ism. They are liv­ing through the vio­lent, coor­di­nat­ed seizure of demo­c­ra­t­ic life by fas­cist forces embold­ened by indif­fer­ence, cru­el­ty, and the archi­tec­ture of unac­count­able pow­er. . . .” 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. Dave has estab­lished a Patre­on site fea­tur­ing arti­cles that he and oth­er researchers have writ­ten, inter­views with guests and three, week­ly talks by Dave.

FTR#1376 Team Trump Takes the Field, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion of the spec­tac­u­lar first months of the Trump regime, we begin with the exo­dus of a Yale pro­fes­sor who wrote a 2018 book about fas­cism. He feels the U.S. may be head­ed for a fas­cist dic­ta­tor­ship. A crit­i­cal piece of analy­sis con­cerns the grow­ing ease with which bioter­ror­ism can be per­pe­trat­ed. Plac­ing the onus on Rus­sia, Chi­na, North Korea or “ter­ror­ists” the author dis­re­gards the fun­da­men­tals of the emer­gent syn­thet­ic biol­o­gy.

The omi­nous warn­ing from the doc­tor about the grow­ing threat of bioter­ror­ism should be seen against the back­ground of RFK, jr.‘s stew­ard­ship at HHS. He has been cut­ting staff with the result that the abil­i­ty of the U.S. to ade­quate­ly deal with a pan­dem­ic is dra­mat­i­cal­ly reduced.

The bal­ance of the broad­cast con­sists of dis­cus­sion of the Trump/Musk regime as a coup d’e­tat. Inter­est­ing­ly, none of those who wrote about the fact that a coup is under­way have rec­og­nized that on 11/22/1963, the U.S. had a fas­cist coup. What we are see­ing now is the result of that deeply trag­ic neglect.

FTR#‘s 1360 & 1361: Byrds of A Feather, Parts 1 and 2

Intro­duc­tion: We begin with read­ing and analy­sis of an arti­cle by Jere­my Kuz­marov about David H. Byrd and his pur­chase of stock in LTV on the run-up to the Viet­nam War (that stock appre­ci­at­ed enor­mous­ly due to the Viet­nam War).

Byrd was also the founder of the Civ­il Air Patrol. A unit of the CAP was also the first asso­ci­a­tion between David Fer­rie and Lee Har­vey Oswald, as well as Iran-Con­tra drug smug­gler Bar­ry Seal, who may have been fly­ing a get­away plane from Dal­las on 11/22/1963.

Key points of dis­cus­sion and analy­sis include:

“. . . .Byrd’s right-wing sen­si­bil­i­ties were evi­dent when he trav­eled to Nazi Ger­many sev­er­al years before World War II and had a brief meet­ing with Hitler. When Byrd returned to the U.S. after that encounter, he spoke pos­i­tive­ly of Hitler’s ‘sin­cer­i­ty’ and ‘basi­cal­ly sound poli­cies.’. . .”
“. . . .Byrd sub­se­quent­ly devel­oped a close friend­ship with one of Hein­rich Himmler’s for­mer assas­sins, Wern­er von Alvensleben, a dou­ble agent in World War II who owned and oper­at­ed the big game hunt­ing com­pa­ny that Byrd alleged­ly trav­eled to Mozam­bique with at the time of the JFK assas­si­na­tion. . . .”
” . . . . Byrd was also friends with Ernest Udet, the #2 man at the Ger­man Nazi Luft­waffe appoint­ed by Her­man Goer­ing. Udet was in charge of research and devel­op­ment for the Luft­waffe dive-bomber [the JU87 or ‘Stu­ka,’ a favorite air­craft of Hans Ulrich Rudel–D.E.]. . . .”
Gen­er­aloberst Ernst Udet
Pho­to Cred­it: Wikipedia

Not includ­ed in the orig­i­nal broad­cast, we present excerpts of Luft­waffe Gen­er­al Ude­t’s Wikipedia entry. As out­landish as it might ini­tial­ly appear, the curi­ous deaths of high-rank­ing Luft­waffe offi­cers who were on their way to attend Ude­t’s funer­al fol­low­ing his Novem­ber, 1941 sui­cide should be viewed with sus­pi­cion. Was the “sui­cide” used to mask Ude­t’s pos­si­ble defection/collaboration with the West?

Note that Udet was accus­tomed to hunt­ing in East Africa, as were D.H. Byrd and the younger Wern­er von Alvensleben.

Note also Albensleben’s asso­ci­a­tion with Nazi cin­e­matog­ra­ph­er Len Riefen­stahl and his pilot­ing of a Cur­tis air­craft. In AFA#1, we not­ed how the Navy tech­nique of dive bomb­ing was betrayed to the Axis through demon­stra­tions using such air­craft.

” . . . . Ernst Udet (26 April 1896 – 17 Novem­ber 1941) was a Ger­man pilot dur­ing World War I and a Luft­waffe Colonel-Gen­er­al (Gen­er­aloberst) dur­ing World War II. . . .”
” . . . . Udet and anoth­er wartime comrade—Suchocky—became pilots to an African film­ing expe­di­tion. The cam­era­man was anoth­er vet­er­an, Schnee­berg­er, whom Udet called ‘Flea,’ and the guide was Sieden­topf, a for­mer East African estate own­er. . . . Udet engaged in hunt­ing while in Africa. . . .”
” . . . . He appeared with Leni Riefen­stahl in three films: The White Hell of Pitz Palu (1929), Stürme über dem Mont Blanc (1930), and S.O.S. Eis­berg (1933). . . .”
” . . . . In the Berlin 1936 Sum­mer Olympics Udet entered the arts com­pe­ti­tion lit­er­a­ture cat­e­go­ry with his auto­bi­og­ra­phy, Mein Fliegerleben (My Fly­ing Life) (pub­lished 1935). . . .”
” . . . . Udet joined the Nazi par­ty in 1933 when Her­mann Göring promised to buy him two new U.S.-built Cur­tiss Hawk II biplanes (export des­ig­na­tion of the F11C‑2 Goshawk Hell­div­er). The planes were used for eval­u­a­tion pur­pos­es and thus indi­rect­ly influ­enced the Ger­man idea of dive bomb­ing aero­planes, such as the Junkers Ju 87 (Stu­ka) dive bombers. They were also used for aer­o­bat­ic shows held dur­ing the 1936 Sum­mer Olympics. . . .”
” . . . . Udet became a major pro­po­nent of the dive bomber, tak­ing cred­it for hav­ing intro­duced it to the Luft­waffe. On 9 June 1936 he had, through his polit­i­cal con­nec­tions, been named Chief of the Tech­ni­cal Office, T‑Amt, (the devel­op­ment wing of the Reich Min­istry of Avi­a­tion). . . .”
” . . . . On 17 Novem­ber 1941, Udet shot him­self in the head. . . . On their way to attend Ude­t’s funer­al, the World War II fight­er ace Wern­er Mölders died in a plane crash in Bres­lau, and the high Luft­waffe exec­u­tive Gen­er­al der Flieger Hel­muth Wilberg died in anoth­er plane crash near Dres­den. . . .”

Next, we present a mas­ter­ful analy­sis by the bril­liant Russ Bak­er decon­struct­ing D.H. (“Dry Hole”) Byrd’s cov­er sto­ry of being on Safari in Mozam­bique at the time of the JFK assas­si­na­tion.

We then excerpt a very impor­tant analy­sis by Dan Alcorn, link­ing David H. Byrd with a milieu involv­ing a for­mer assas­sin for the S.S. and David H. Byrd. Key points of analy­sis and dis­cus­sion include:

” . . . . The sec­ond [FOIA] request  is  Wern­er  von  Alvensleben,  who  had  been  an intel­li­gence asset – a dou­ble agent  for the  U.S.  OSS  in  World  War  II, and  who  was  asso­ci­at­ing  with  David  Harold  Byrd,  the  own­er  of  the  Book  Depos­i­to­ry  build­ing  around  the  time  of  the  assas­si­na­tion. . . .”
” . . . . We have  not  been  able  to  get  access  to  the  oper­a­tional  files  of  the  CIA;  they’ve  refused  to  give  us  access  to  any  of  the  oper­a­tional  files  about  these  three  sub­jects  of  the  inves­ti­ga­tion.  This  is  impor­tant  to  us  because  we  have  sourc­ing  from  the  Dal­las  Morn­ing  News  that  Wern­er  von  Alvensleben  was  in  Dal­las  in  late  1963  as  the  guest  of  David  Harold  Byrd. And  this  is  impor­tant  as  we  get  into  the  back­ground  of  Wern­er  von  Alvensleben  because  at  one  time,  ear­li­er  in  his  career  in  1933,  he  had  been  an  assas­sin  for  Hein­rich  Himm­ler,  the  Nazi  leader  in  Hitler’s  Ger­many,  and  that  makes  it  rel­e­vant  to  explor­ing  what  was  going  on  in  1963. . . .”
” . . . . Among oth­er  peo­ple,  our  research  has  found–  were  known  to  David  Harold  Byrd,  was  an  Ernst  Udet.  U ‑D ‑E ‑T, and he  was  the  num­ber  two  in  the  Luft­waffe  to  Her­mann  Göring  in  Nazi  Ger­many.  Byrd  describes  Udet  as  a  close  friend  in  Byrd’s  auto­bi­og­ra­phy,  and  Udet  was  in  charge  of research  and  devel­op­ment  for  the  Luft­waffe,  which  is  the  theme  that  seems  to  run  through  some  of  these  con­nec­tions:  the  for­ward ‑look­ing  research  and  devel­op­ment  process  for  avi­a­tion  and  aero­space.  Avi­a­tion  was  the  basis  for  the  rela­tion­ship  between  Byrd  and  Ernst  Udet  of  the  Luft­waffe. . . .”
” . . . . In  research­ing  Wern­er  von  Alvensleben  and  his  big  game  hunt­ing  oper­a­tion,  I  came  across  the  infor­ma­tion  that  von  Alvensleben ‘s  favorite  rifle  was  the  Mannlich­er-Schoe­nauer  rifle. Of  course,  I  was  famil­iar  with  the  Mannlich­er ‑Car­cano  because  that’s  the  rifle  said  to  have    been  used  to  kill  Pres­i­dent  Kennedy.  I  wasn’t  aware  of  the  Mannlich­er-Schonauer.  I  did  some  research  and  it  turns  out  that  the  Mannlich­er-Schonauer  was  the  finest  hunt­ing  rifle  of  that  era,  it  was  an  Aus­tri­an  rifle. . . .”
” . . . . It  was  said  on  numer­ous  sites  devot­ed  to  guns  and  ammu­ni­tion.  that  the  Mannlich­er-Schonauer  and  the  Mannlich­er-Car­cano  rifles  used  essen­tial­ly  iden­ti­cal  ammu­ni­tion. Very  dif­fi­cult  to  tell  the  two  car­tridges  apart.  There  are  sources  among  the  blogs  that  say  the  ammu­ni­tion, some  ammu­ni­tion  was  man­u­fac­tured  with  the  pur­pose  of  being  used  inter­change­ably  between  the  two  rifles.  Well, this  rifle  was  the  favorite  rifle  of  Wern­er  von  Alvensleben,  the  big  game  hunter.  It  was  also  favored  by  oth­er  big  game  hunters  of  the  time because  of  its  abil­i­ty  to  stop  large  ani­mals;  that  was  what  it  was  par­tic­u­lar­ly  effec­tive  for.  In  research­ing  the  Mannlich­er-Schoe­nauer  rifle  I  came  across  tes­ti­mo­ny  to  the  War­ren  Com­mis­sion; it came  up  before  the  War­ren  Com­mis­sion in the fol­low­ing way: War­ren  Com­mis­sion­er  John  McCloy  was  at  a  ses­sion  in  which  the  FBI  bal­lis­tics  expert, Robert  Fra­zier,  tes­ti­fied.  John  McCloy  inter­rupt­ed  the  ques­tion­ing  to  ask  his  own  ques­tion,  which  was  whether  the  three  hulls (car­tridges)  that  were  found  on  the  sixth  floor  of  the  Book  Depos­i­to­ry  build­ing  could  have  been  fired  by  a  Mannlich­er-Schonauer  rifle  rather  than  a  Mannlich­er-Car­cano  rifle.  . . .” 

The pro­gram con­cludes with an excerpt from Joseph McBride’s book Into the Night­mare: My Search for the Killers of John F. Kennedy and Offi­cer J.D. Tip­pit con­cern­ing the role of tele­vi­sion in cog­ni­tive­ly and polit­i­cal­ly shap­ing the pub­lic’s view of the JFK assas­si­na­tion.
