FTR#1394 Political Assassination and the Rise of the German Nazi Party

Intro­duc­tion: Before get­ting into the main part of the pro­gram, we revis­it an impor­tant ele­ment first intro­duced in FTR#913.

With Direc­tor of Nation­al Intel­li­gence Tul­si Gab­bard and Anna Pauli­na Luna giv­ing cre­dence to the “Aliens are among us” non­sense, it is impor­tant to bear in mind that the CIA was devel­op­ing “fly­ing saucers” in the 1960’s.

Anna Pauli­na Luna is out­do­ing her­self, opin­ing that law­mak­ers have infor­ma­tion about “inter­di­men­sion­al beings.”

This is sav­age­ly rem­i­nis­cent of sci­ence fic­tion movies on Trump’s stream­ing media out­let that are pre­sent­ed as “fact.”

As the Trump regime has tight­ened its grip, many observers have offered (for the most part) pro­found­ly unin­formed analy­ses of fas­cism. In this pro­gram, we revis­it the gen­e­sis of Ger­man Nazism and the process through which under­cov­er Ger­man mil­i­tary intel­li­gence agent Adolf Hitler came to pow­er.

Hitler did not “hyp­no­tize” the Ger­man pub­lic. He rose to pow­er as the result of a sys­tem­at­ic pro­gram of polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion. This was fol­lowed by the delib­er­ate intro­duc­tion of the mil­i­tary into Ger­man soci­ety to foment reac­tion.

The bulk of the pro­gram fea­tures mate­r­i­al record­ed in June of 1984, set­ting forth this his­to­ry.
We should note that the descrip­tion for the pro­gram fea­tures an impor­tant exam­ple of Trans-Atlantic net­work­ing. In 1923, future O.S.S. chief William “Wild Bill” Dono­van met with Ger­man mil­i­tary intel­li­gence agent Adolf Hitler.


CIA Testing of Flying Saucers in Early ’60’s

The CIA was test­ing “Fly­ing Saucers” in the ear­ly 1960’s, a fact that is more com­plete­ly devel­oped on Dav­e’s Patre­on plat­form. 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 46+ years on the air and a library of old anti-fas­cist books.

FTR#‘s 1388, 1389 and 1390 The Future: Technology Theocracy and The Thousand-Year Reich, Parts 1, 2 and 3

First, the dis­cus­sion focus­es on the con­flict between cor­po­rate prof­its and both sub­stan­tial wages and ben­e­fits and strong envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion pol­i­cy. This con­flict results in an ele­ment of cog­ni­tive dis­so­nance on the part of most peo­ple (who must work for a liv­ing.) In order to max­i­mize prof­it, dis­com­fort must be cor­re­spond­ing­ly max­i­mized as well.

Human behav­ior is dic­tat­ed large­ly by two prin­ci­ples that psy­chol­o­gists call the plea­sure prin­ci­ple and the real­i­ty prin­ci­ple. In a nut­shell: peo­ple do what makes them feel good. When they feel bad, they must alter their envi­ron­ment in such a way as to remove the dis­com­fort. They can either change their exter­nal envi­ron­ment or their inter­nal envi­ron­ment. Polit­i­cal action, labor and envi­ron­men­tal orga­niz­ing would cer­tain­ly bring change that would relieve social and envi­ron­men­tal dis­tress. That is not as prof­itable as hold­ing down wages and prof­its. Prof­its can be max­i­mized if peo­ple can be made to alter their inter­nal envi­ron­ment in such a way as to endure or even enjoy dis­com­fort (what Mr. Emory refers to as learn­ing “to enjoy sit­ting on a tack.”)

There are a vari­ety of ways of get­ting peo­ple to attempt this. If they are ine­bri­at­ed on drugs or alco­hol, their pain will be atten­u­at­ed (at least tem­porar­i­ly) and their will to resist blunt­ed. In this con­text, opi­um would be “the reli­gion of the peo­ple.” The real thing might be even bet­ter.

The analy­sis cen­ters on a soci­ety in which peo­ple would be made into “true believ­ers,” through a com­bi­na­tion of total­i­tar­i­an polit­i­cal con­trol and tech­no­log­i­cal­ly-rein­forced fun­da­men­tal­ist reli­gion. Denom­i­na­tion­al affil­i­a­tion of sub­ject nations and indi­vid­u­als may well remain diverse, but the foun­da­tion and source of polit­i­cal pow­er would be tremen­dous­ly pow­er­ful, tech­no­log­i­cal­ly sophis­ti­cat­ed mil­i­tary weapons of mass destruc­tion. Most impor­tant­ly, the very exis­tence of these weapons would be unknown to the vast major­i­ty of peo­ple. An admin­is­tra­tive elite would exer­cise polit­i­cal pow­er. This elite would be reli­gious, polit­i­cal and mil­i­tary in nature — Mr. Emory char­ac­ter­izes them as “priest-spies.” They would have at least lim­it­ed knowl­edge of the pre­vail­ing mil­i­tary tech­nol­o­gy, as well as advanced tac­ti­cal knowl­edge of its appli­ca­tion.

Their “parish­ioners,” on the oth­er hand, would see (and would be encour­aged and oblig­at­ed to see) the dev­as­tat­ing appli­ca­tion of the destruc­tive tech­nol­o­gy as “mir­a­cles.” Groups or indi­vid­u­als who devi­at­ed from the pre­scribed path would be pun­ished with the tech­nol­o­gy and this, again, would be seen by a naive pop­u­lace as ret­ri­bu­tion by some super­nat­ur­al enti­ty. (It should be not­ed that New Age reli­gions are by no means immune to this kind of exploita­tion and seduc­tion by fas­cist ele­ments.)

Weapons tech­nol­o­gy that might be involved would include genet­i­cal­ly-engi­neered micro-organ­isms (“the plagues of Egypt”), Tes­la tech­nol­o­gy to cause earth­quakes or alter the weath­er (“God’s pun­ish­ment on the wicked”), long dis­tance mind-con­trol tech­niques involv­ing elec­tro­mag­net­ic radi­a­tion (“the Voice of the Lord”). (Note: this lec­ture was giv­en before infor­ma­tion about Project HAARP became pub­lic.) In L‑1 evi­dence is pre­sent­ed that so-called “fly­ing saucers” are real and do not come from out­er space. They are advanced aero­nau­ti­cal devices, whose devel­op­ment began with pro­to­types flown by the Ger­mans dur­ing the clos­ing stages of World War II. They were fur­ther devel­oped by the West­ern Allies in the years after the war. There is also sub­stan­tial evi­dence of attempts by ele­ments of the intel­li­gence com­mu­ni­ty to cre­ate belief in space aliens. With this in mind, Mr. Emory dis­cuss­es the pos­si­ble uses of “UFOs” and “aliens” in the fas­cist tech­no-theoc­ra­cy described above.

FTR#1384 The Joshua Haldeman, Part 4

Intro­duc­tion: Although not about Josua Halde­man (Musk’s grand­fa­ther), per se, this pro­gram flesh­es out how main­stream media out­lets are sourc­ing some of the most out­landish b.s. about space aliens hav­ing vis­it­ed us, yad­da yad­da yad­da.

This mate­r­i­al is to be con­sid­ered against the back­ground of Halde­man, the search for “ancient civ­i­liza­tions,” Apartheid South Africa as a direct exten­sion of the NSDAP (the Nazi par­ty under Hitler) and the prep­ping of the pub­lic for “ET Con­tact” b.s.

Pro­gram High­lights Include: Review of “The Nine;” Review of Joshua Halde­man’s “Lost Civilization/White Suprema­cist” ide­ol­o­gy; The fact that all of this orig­i­nates with the tabloid The Week­ly World News!

FTR#1383 The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 3

Intro­duc­tion: Con­tin­u­ing analy­sis of the ide­ol­o­gy of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther and a major ide­o­log­i­cal influ­ence on him and, appar­ent­ly, “Team Trump.”

An ide­o­log­i­cal fas­cist and anti-Semi­te, Halde­man decamped to South Africa and became a minor lumi­nary in the Apartheid gov­ern­ment, a direct off­shoot of the Ger­man Nazi Par­ty under Hitler.

Halde­man also became obsessed with find­ing an alleged lost city in the Kala­hari Desert that he felt beto­kened a “white civ­i­liza­tion” in South­ern Africa.

Key Points of Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Include: Halde­man’s mem­ber­ship in the tech­no­fas­cist Tech­noc­ra­cy move­ment, sim­i­lar in many ways to the ide­olo­gies of Cur­tis Yarvin and Ben­i­to Mus­soli­ni; His mem­ber­ship in anoth­er neo-fas­cist polit­i­cal par­ty, the “Socre­ds;” Halde­man’s praise in an arti­cle in Die Trans­valer, a paper edit­ed by Hen­rik Voer­ster, a Broeder­bond mem­ber whose paper laud­ed the Third Reich; Halde­man’s shift­ing of blame for the Sharpsville mas­sacre to the “Inter­na­tion­al Financiers;” Halde­man’s book tar­get­ing manda­to­ry vac­cines and flu­o­ri­da­tion of the water as part of a vast “Inter­na­tion­al Con­spir­a­cy” against health; The sim­i­lar­i­ties between Halde­man’s ide­ol­o­gy and that of Brain­worm Bob­by (Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.); Halde­man’s rec­om­mend­ed read­ing, which includes books by G.K. Chester­ton, the head of the Union of British Fas­cists, found­ed by Oswald Mose­ley, whose grand­son Louis heads up the UK branch of Apartheid cham­pi­on Peter Thiel’s Palan­tir firm.


FTR#1382 The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 2

Intro­duc­tion: This pro­gram con­tin­ues a series on the career and appar­ent influ­ence of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther.

We begin by not­ing the sur­re­al pol­i­tics of Anna Pauli­na Luna, pre­sid­ing over the “inquiry” into var­i­ous con­spir­a­to­r­i­al process­es. Ms. Luna: ” . . . . media to name the groups they claim are behind the protests that led to the vio­lence, and the mon­ey that backs them. They describe a web of con­nec­tions between the immi­grant rights and left­ist activists on the streets of LA with . . . the Chi­nese Com­mu­nist Par­ty. . . .”

Elon Musk has opined that the pyra­mids of Egypt were built by aliens, some­thing that will look famil­iar to view­ers of Trump’s stream­ing media plat­form. Like so much of Trump’s busi­ness empire, it has a famil­iar look: ” . . . . After win­ning the 2024 elec­tion, Trump placed his stake in the com­pa­ny into a revo­ca­ble trust sole­ly man­aged by his son, Don­ald Trump Jr., who is also on the company’s board. The pres­i­dent isn’t the only offi­cial who has been in a posi­tion to cash in on the com­pa­ny. Oth­er mem­bers of the Trump admin­is­tra­tion have also held shares or served on TMTG’s board. TMTG’s CEO and chair­man is Devin Nunes, who is a for­mer Repub­li­can con­gress­man and the cur­rent chair of the President’s Intel­li­gence Advi­so­ry board. . . .”

Much of the pro­gram focus­es on Trump’s TMTG stream­ing fare. The plat­form is pre­sent­ing “Alien Lizard Con­spir­a­cy” films, pre­sent­ed as doc­u­men­taries. ” . . . . Less than two min­utes into the movie, the nar­ra­tor makes a shock­ing claim. ‘The evi­dence we are about to present to you has the poten­tial to rewrite thou­sands of years of human his­to­ry. It will present evi­dence that sug­gests ancient ser­pent or lizard-like aliens came to earth thou­sands of years ago,’ the nar­ra­tor says. ‘We’ll also present evi­dence that these ancient aliens are still among us today.’ . . .” 

Fur­ther­more” ” . . . . Jesus Christ and Bud­dha are aliens. . . .”

As will be seen Elon Musk’s influ­en­tial grand­fa­ther Joshua Halde­man’s polit­i­cal resume con­tains many items that appear to antic­i­pate much of what the Trump/Musk admin­is­tra­tion is pre­sent­ing.

This will be parsed in greater detail and at greater length in upcom­ing install­ments in the series.


FTR#1381: The Joshua Haldeman File, Part 1

Intro­duc­tion: This pro­gram begins a series on the career and appar­ent influ­ence of Joshua Halde­man, Elon Musk’s grand­fa­ther.

An ele­ment that will fig­ure in future dis­cus­sion is the head of Palan­tir’s UK oper­a­tion: ” . . . . Palantir’s Mosley hap­pens to be the grand­son of Sir Oswald Mosley, the World War II-era Nazi sym­pa­thiz­er who led the British Union of Fas­cists. . . .”

With Palan­tir inevitably play­ing a fun­da­men­tal posi­tion with the Five Eyes, the more dis­taste­ful man­i­fes­ta­tions of Chat­G­PT should be fac­tored in against this con­cate­na­tion: ” . . . . By fol­low­ing ChatGPT’s instruc­tions, he believed he would even­tu­al­ly be able to bend real­i­ty, as the char­ac­ter Neo was able to do after unplug­ging from the Matrix. ‘If I went to the top of the 19 sto­ry build­ing I’m in, and I believed with every ounce of my soul that I could jump off it and fly, would I?’ Mr. Tor­res asked. Chat­G­PT respond­ed that, if Mr. Tor­res ‘tru­ly, whol­ly believed — not emo­tion­al­ly, but archi­tec­tural­ly — that you could fly? Then yes. You would not fall.”. . .”

Elon Musk has opined that the pyra­mids of Egypt were built by aliens, some­thing that will look famil­iar to view­ers of Trump’s stream­ing media plat­form. Like so much of Trump’s busi­ness empire, it has a famil­iar look: ” . . . . After win­ning the 2024 elec­tion, Trump placed his stake in the com­pa­ny into a revo­ca­ble trust sole­ly man­aged by his son, Don­ald Trump Jr., who is also on the company’s board. The pres­i­dent isn’t the only offi­cial who has been in a posi­tion to cash in on the com­pa­ny. Oth­er mem­bers of the Trump admin­is­tra­tion have also held shares or served on TMTG’s board. TMTG’s CEO and chair­man is Devin Nunes, who is a for­mer Repub­li­can con­gress­man and the cur­rent chair of the President’s Intel­li­gence Advi­so­ry board. . . .”

These dynam­ics will be devel­oped dur­ing this series.

Intro­duc­tion: NB: This descrip­tion con­tains mate­r­i­al not avail­able in the orig­i­nal.

These pro­grams high­light a dis­turb­ing syn­the­sis of sub­stan­tive, fac­tu­al inquiries (the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, MLK and RFK, Sr.) with pro­to-fascis­tic ancient aliens built the pyra­mids, ancient astro­nauts, Eric von Daniken bs.

Holo­caust deniers have long hov­ered around the edges of the assas­si­na­tion research. Once one real­izes that, in fact, Lee Har­vey Oswald was a pat­sy in the JFK assas­si­na­tion, James Earl Ray was a pat­sy in the assas­si­na­tion of Mar­tin Luther King and Sirhan Sirhan was a [mind-con­trolled] pat­sy in the assas­si­na­tion of RFK, Sr. it leaves many in a rel­a­tivis­tic political/intellectual uni­verse. They won­der: “Maybe the Holo­caust did­n’t hap­pen?”

Dis­cus­sion and Analy­sis Includes: Amaryl­lis Fox’s role as intel­li­gence advis­er to the Office of Man­age­ment and Bud­get and the Pres­i­den­t’s For­eign Intel­li­gence Review Board; Tul­si Gab­bard’s sup­port for Indi­a’s attack on Pak­istan; Mod­i’s net­work­ing with the RSS; An inci­sive arti­cle not­ing the pos­si­bil­i­ty of U.S. and/or U.K involve­ment in the ter­ror­ist inci­dent in Kash­mir; Review of the rela­tion­ship between RFK, Jr. daugh­ter-in-law and cam­paign man­ag­er Amaryl­lis Fox and Tul­si Gab­bard; Tul­si Gab­bard’s pro­found rela­tion­ship with the Hin­dut­va fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion RSS (the orga­ni­za­tion that assas­si­nat­ed Mahat­ma Gand­hi); Review of the assas­si­na­tion of Mahat­ma Gand­hi; Review of Gab­bard’s mem­ber­ship in the Hare Krish­na Cult; Dis­cus­sion of the New Age, the UFO dis­in­for­ma­tion gam­bit; the fascist/Nazi roots of the alter­na­tive archaeology/“Our Broth­ers from Space” meme; The recent pre­sen­ta­tion of dis­in­for­ma­tion con­cern­ing “cham­bers beneath the Pyra­mids of Egypt” (prov­ing that Space Aliens built the Pyra­mids); the approval of that bs by numer­ous fig­ures in “Team Trump” includ­ing Anna Pauli­na Luna, head­ing up “inquiries” into the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, RFK, MLK, 9/11, UFO’s; Jef­frey Epstein.
