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. Bush admin­is­tra­tions; Ailes’ employ­ment with the Coors media appa­ra­tus; The role of for­mer Span­ish prime min­is­ter Aznar in per­pet­u­at­ing the net­works of Fran­co, Links between the SS/Vatican nexus and the Babi Yar mas­sacres in Ukraine; The work of SS offi­cials of the Vatican/SS nexus and the CIA; Review of Nico­lae Malax­a’s role in financ­ing the Ruman­ian Guard; Malax­a’s role in the emp­ty cor­po­rate front West­ern Tube, whose mail­ing address was Bew­ley, Kroop and Nixon–Nixon’s law firm; Review of Valer­ian Tri­fa’s role with the Iron Guard and the GOP; (both Malaxa and Tri­fa are cov­ered at length in AFA#2); Gen­er­al Motors head Alfred P.

The Eyes Over Mike Johnson: the CNP’s Texas Template for God’s Power Grope

Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ism isn’t sim­ply on the rise in the Unit­ed States. It’s already at the top, thanks in no small part to the Coun­cil for Nation­al Pol­i­cy (CNP) and the myr­i­ad of groups oper­at­ing under its theo­crat­ic umbrel­la. The Supreme Court is dom­i­nat­ed by a hard right major­i­ty and there’s even the CNP’s planned mass purges — start­ing with the gov­ern­ment but not end­ing there — under the ‘Sched­ule F’/Project 2025 label. That’s all part of the grim con­text sur­round­ing a series of reports around the new Speak­er of the House, Mike John­son that should raise seri­ous ques­tions about just how much influ­ence the lead­ing Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ist hold over new Speak­er of the House. But thanks the House and Supreme Court aren’t the only gov­ern­ment insti­tu­tion under Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ism sway. States Repub­li­cans are increas­ing­ly adopt­ing Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ist laws, with Texas lead­ing the way under the way under the vision of CNP pseu­do-his­to­ri­an David Bar­ton. It turns out John­son and Bar­ton are long-time allies who share the same vision for the future. A vision in line with the ‘dis­ci­ple­ship’ form of author­i­tar­i­an Chris­tian­i­ty now main­streamed in the CNP-dom­i­nat­ed net­work of 47,000 church­es in the South­ern Bap­tist Con­ven­tion (SBC). Which also hap­pens to be a denom­i­na­tion grap­pling with a sex abuse mega-scan­dal haunt­ing­ly rem­i­nis­cent of the Catholic Church’s mega-abuse scan­dal. A mega-scan­dal with a num­ber of major CNP fig­ures oper­at­ing as abusers or enablers. It’s that broad­er inter­sec­tion of Mike John­son’s ties to Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ism with this grow­ing SBC abuse mega-scan­dal that we’re going to look at in this post.

History: OUN/B and UPA Guerilla Warfare and the German “Werewolf” Operation UPDATED ON 2/22/2022

In a pre­vi­ous post, we set forth excerpts from “The Bor­mann Broth­er­hood” doc­u­ment­ing the Third Reich gen­e­sis of the terms “Iron Cur­tain” and “Bet­ter Dead Than Red”–the lat­ter the pro­pa­gan­da bat­tle cry of Ger­many’s Radio Were­wolf. Near the end of WWII, Gehlen set up the Were­wolf gueril­la orga­ni­za­tion, which recruit­ed from the ranks of the UPA: “. . . . Gehlen pro­vid­ed [SS Ober­grup­pen­fuhrer Hans] Prutz­mann with a detailed blue-print for the orga­ni­za­tion of the Were­wolves . . . . Prutz­mann and his sub-com­man­ders resort­ed to enlist­ing to enlist­ing mem­bers of the rapid­ly dis­solv­ing Vlassov Army and the Ukrain­ian UPA . . . . Gehlen had pro­duced the orig­i­nal scheme for Were­wolf . . . .” UPA com­bat­ants con­tin­ued gueril­la war­fare until 1952, jump­ing to CIA: “. . . . In south-west Ukraine and east­ern Poland bands of the nation­al­ist UPA many still with their Ger­man SS offi­cers, harassed the Sovi­et Army, the Pol­ish mili­tia of the com­mu­nist-dom­i­nat­ed War­saw gov­ern­ment and the local author­i­ties set up in the lib­er­at­ed ter­ri­to­ries. . . . Trained in gueril­la war­fare by the Ger­mans, they ambushed Sovi­et road con­voys, used hit-and-run tac­tics, and car­ried out innu­mer­able sab­o­tage actions. Indeed, some of the Ukrain­ian insur­gents held out in the forests of the Carpathi­an moun­tains until 1952. . . .” WFMU-FM is pod­cast­ing For The Record–You can sub­scribe to the pod­cast HERE.

Dis­cuss­es the role of women in the Ku Klux Klan. Women are a large, though unrec­og­nized part of the white suprema­cist move­ment today.

Reflections On The Fun and Games of 1/6/2021

In past pro­grams, we have spo­ken of the 1934 coup attempt against FDR, engi­neered by the most pow­er­ful eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal forces in our coun­try. It was only foiled because Marine Corps Gen­er­al Smed­ley But­ler (right) betrayed the con­spir­a­tors. The armed con­fronta­tion in the Capi­tol also remind­ed us of a con­fronta­tion that took place in Park­land Hos­pi­tal on 11/22/1963. A con­tin­gent of Secret Ser­vice agents and Kennedy aide Ken­neth O’Donnell con­front­ed and threat­ened Park­land physi­cians who were going to autop­sy Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s body in accor­dance with law. (Author Joseph McBride presents con­vinc­ing evi­dence that O’Donnell faced prob­a­ble indict­ment for cor­rup­tion. He helped arrange the Kennedy motor­cade route through Dealey Plaza, set­ting JFK up for assas­si­na­tion. O’Donnell suc­cumbed to alco­holism, dying in 1977.) McBride—drawing on schol­ar­ship by numer­ous authors and researchers—concludes that the Fed­er­al agents were intent on pre­vent­ing an autop­sy in Dal­las, so that JFK’s body could be sur­gi­cal­ly altered to obscure the fact that Kennedy was killed in a cross­fire. The “offi­cial ver­sion” of the murder—an insti­tu­tion­al­ized his­tor­i­cal fiction–maintains that Oswald—the lone assassin—slew Kennedy by fir­ing from the rear.

FTR #‘s 1164 and 1165 Farewell, America Parts 3 and 4 (The Reeve Whitson File, Parts 1 and 2)

Con­tin­u­ing dis­cus­sion of Tom O’Neil­l’s opus Chaos: Charles Man­son, the CIA, and the Secret His­to­ry of the Six­ties, these pro­grams illus­trate the “post-demo­c­ra­t­ic” state of Amer­i­can pol­i­tics by pre­sent­ing the career of a vet­er­an CIA offi­cer named Reeve Whit­son.

Reeve Whit­son:

1.–Was alleged by Iran­ian immi­grant Shahrokh Hata­mi to have phoned him with knowl­edge of the killings of Sharon Tate, et al, before the crime was report­ed by the news media and before law enforce­ment even arrived at the crime scene!
2.–Was alleged by the LAPD’s top inves­ti­ga­tor and Sharon Tate’s father (a Colonel in Army intel­li­gence) to have been deeply involved with the Man­son inves­ti­ga­tion.
3.–Was alleged by attor­ney Neil Cum­mings to have main­tained some kind of sur­veil­lance on the Cielo Dri­ve home, as part of some sort of work he was doing for the intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty.
4.–Was con­firmed as an offi­cer of the CIA by his own ex-wife.
5.–Was known to have felt that he was–in the end–betrayed by the fac­tion of the CIA for which he worked.
6.–Was able to pull strings in a piv­otal way: “. . . . A British film direc­tor who him­self claimed to have ties to MI5, [John] Irvin said that Whit­son got meet­ings ‘with min­utes’ at “the high­est lev­els of the defense industry—it was amaz­ing.’ ”
7.–Was appar­ent­ly a close asso­ciate of retired Gen­er­al Cur­tis LeMay, George Wal­lace’s Vice-Pres­i­den­tial can­di­date in 1968.
8.–Was asso­ci­at­ed with LeMay when the lat­ter became vice-pres­i­dent of a mis­sile parts man­u­fac­tur­er, which was head­ed by Mihai Patrichi.  Patrichi was a for­mer Roman­ian army gen­er­al and a mem­ber of the Roman­ian Iron Guard, whom we have spo­ken about and writ­ten about in many pro­grams and posts. The Iron Guard was part of the Gehglen “Org,” the ABN and the GOP.
9.–Was asso­ci­at­ed, through his intel­li­gence work with Otto Sko­rzeny and his wife Ilse.
10.–Was the spe­cial advis­er to the chair­man of the board of the Thyssen firm, also as part of his intel­li­gence work.

Con­clud­ing the dis­cus­sion, we present O’Neil­l’s dis­cus­sion of Lawrence Shiller and Jer­ry Cohen, two jour­nal­ists believed by many War­ren Com­mis­sion crit­ics to be media “intel­li­gence assets.”

Both Schiller and Cohen helped to shape the “offi­cial” ver­sion of the Man­son Fam­i­ly oper­a­tions and both cropped up in the con­text of the JFK assas­si­na­tion as well.

They’re “Shocked, Shocked”: Reflections on the Debate, GOP, Fascists

FTR #‘s 1146 through 1150 chron­i­cle the syn­chro­nous evo­lu­tion of the con­tem­po­rary GOP, the CIA and the Third Reich. No one should be “Shocked, Shocked” at Trump’s com­ments on white suprema­cists. This post reviews, and excerpts that infor­ma­tion for the con­tem­pla­tion and con­ve­nience of listeners/readers. It was Trump who ulti­mate­ly took over Resorts Inter­na­tion­al. ” . . . Might not the OSS-SS con­nec­tion also throw light on the unex­plained inter­lock between James Cros­by’s com­pa­ny Resorts Inter­na­tion­al, tight­ly con­trolled by the relat­ed and dou­bly inter­mar­ried Cros­by-Mur­phy fam­i­lies, and Cap­i­tal Cities Broad­cast­ing, the major invest­ment of the CIA’s present direc­tor William Casey. (51) Casey would be the log­i­cal per­son to have estab­lished the orig­i­nal con­nec­tion between the Cros­by-Mur­phy fam­i­lies and their mys­te­ri­ous Ger­man-Swiss part­ners. For it was Casey who, in 1944–45, ‘was giv­en over­all oper­a­tional con­trol of [OSS] Ger­man projects,’ and ‘co-ordi­nat­ed . . . the over 150 men’ whom OSS sent into Ger­many. (52) With Dulles, Wis­ner, and For­gan, Casey was also one of the OSS vet­er­ans who lob­bied suc­cess­ful­ly for a CIA which could legit­i­mate­ly uti­lize the resources of the Gehlen Org. . . .”
