FTR #838 Interview (#1) with Peter Levenda about “The Hitler Legacy”

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 8, 2015 ⋅ 4 comments

The first of sev­er­al inter­views with Peter Lev­en­da about his impor­tant new book “The Hitler Lega­cy,” this pro­gram high­lights the evo­lu­tion of ele­ments which fig­ure into the devel­op­ment of the post-war Nazi under­ground. At the end of the First World War, the Bol­she­vik Rev­o­lu­tion in Rus­sia and abortive Marx­ist upris­ings in Ger­many and else­where in Europe infused the pow­er elite in the U.S. with a para­noid ide­o­log­i­cal ter­ror of a glob­al “Jew­ish-Marx­ist” con­spir­a­cy. Com­bined with fear of Catholic and Jew­ish immi­grants and their effect on Amer­i­can soci­ety, this ide­o­log­i­cal para­noia fused with a social Dar­win­ism that found its expres­sion in eugenics–a pseu­do-intel­lec­tu­al doc­trine that sought the pro­mo­tion of “desir­able” social and eth­nic types and the sup­pres­sion and/or elim­i­na­tion of “infe­ri­or” racial types. See­ing Ger­many as the point ele­ment in the strug­gle against world Marx­ism, indi­vid­u­als and polit­i­cal par­ties sought to ally with Ger­man fas­cists to bring fas­cism to the U.S. This fas­cist Fifth Col­umn includ­ed polit­i­cal groups rang­ing from the Ku Klux Klan to the Sil­ver Shirts of William Dud­ley Pel­ley, as well as the pro­to­typ­i­cal right-wing talk show host Father Charles Cough­lin, “the Radio Priest.” Cough­lin’s efforts were sub­si­dized by Third Reich intel­li­gence. Financed by financiers and indus­tri­al­ists who sup­port­ed fas­cism, this Fifth Col­umn attempt­ed to kill and/or over­throw FDR on sev­er­al occa­sions. In the Mid­dle East, the con­cept of glob­al jihad was devel­oped by Ger­man archael­o­gist Max von Oppen­heim dur­ing the First World War. Envi­sion­ing the world’s Mus­lims as proxy war­riors against the Entente Pow­ers of Britain, France and Rus­sia, von Oppen­heim cre­at­ed the tem­plate for con­tem­po­rary Islam­ic fas­cism and jihadism. Fol­low­ing the divi­sion of the for­mer Ottoman Empire by Britain and France after World War I, the “Arab Street” began man­i­fest­ing belief in an inter­na­tion­al glob­al con­spir­a­cy involv­ing Jews and the Euro­pean colo­nial pow­ers that res­onat­ed with the Amer­i­can pow­er elite’s ido­l­og­i­cal anx­i­eties.


“The City of Elevation” Comes into View Once Again: Muslim Brotherhood Moves Headquarters to Graz, Austria

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 14, 2014 ⋅ Post a comment

An inter­est­ing devel­op­ment con­cerns the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood’s relo­ca­tion of their head­quar­ters to Graz, Aus­tria and three oth­er unnamed Euro­pean cities. Graz was a city that enjoyed Hitler’s favor and was an epi­cen­ter for post­war Under­ground Reich activ­i­ty. Mus­lim Broth­er­hood lynch­pin and appar­ent for­mer Third Reich intel­li­gence agent Youssef Nada resided there in the 1960’s, as did a num­ber of oth­er Broth­er­hood activists. the Schwarzeneg­ger fam­i­ly also had links to the Graz area.


FTR #775 Ratzinger Leaves the Ship–The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 16, 2014 ⋅ One comment

The star­tling res­ig­na­tion of Pope Bene­dict XVI (nee Joseph Ratzinger) brings to mind a num­ber of con­sid­er­a­tions. Ratzinger was some­thing of a care­tak­er, charged with sus­tain­ing the Opus-Dei style reac­tion grip­ping the Vat­i­can and keep­ing the lid on poten­tially dam­ag­ing inquiries.. He took office with the Holy See engulfed in scan­dal and inquiry, includ­ing the bur­geon­ing priest molesta­tion inves­ti­ga­tions, renewed inquiries into mon­ey laun­der­ing by the Vat­i­can Bank and inquiries con­cern­ing the Vatican’s behav­ior dur­ing and after World War II. Might some of those issues over­whelmed his papa­cy, forc­ing the first Papal res­ig­na­tion in his­to­ry?


The Newtown Massacre, Pedophile Priests and the Pope’s Resignation: A Conspiracy Theory Within a Conspiracy Theory

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 27, 2014 ⋅ 4 comments

Red Alert: this is one hel­lu­va con­spir­a­cy the­o­ry. In fact, it is–as the title indicates–a con­spir­a­cy the­o­ry with­in a con­spir­a­cy the­o­ry. New­town shoot­er Adam Lan­za exist­ed in an envi­ron­ment inhab­it­ed by pedophile priests, appar­ent­ly enjoy­ing tac­it sup­port from the Church hier­ar­chy in the area, some­thing that has been large­ly eclipsed by oth­er points of debate. Neil Allen has chron­i­cled the pres­ence of ser­i­al pedophile priests in the church and Catholic school Lan­za attend­ed. IF Adam Lan­za was molest­ed by Castal­do and/or oth­ers as Neil Allen has hypoth­e­sized, we won­der if that may have helped to pre­cip­i­tate the res­ig­na­tion of Pope Bene­dict XVI in Feb­ru­ary of 2013. Lan­za was appar­ent­ly pre­oc­cu­pied with pedophil­ia.


Dylan Versus The Ustachi (“Bob Dylan’s Nightmare”)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 6, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

For decades, we’ve been research­ing the Croa­t­ian fas­cists known as Ustachi. In an inter­view in Rolling Stone mag­a­zine, Bob Dylan made a ref­er­ence to the Ustachi slaugh­ter of Serbs (as well as Jews and gyp­sies) by the Ustachi. Sub­se­quent­ly, Dylan was charged with a hate crime by France/EU! A Croa­t­ian soc­cer play­er recent­ly stirred up Ustachi sen­ti­ments at a World Cup qual­i­fy­ing match.


Is a “Deep Falange” at Work in Spain and Argentina?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 17, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

Eco­nom­i­cal­ly beset Spain is wax­ing aggres­sive toward British-gov­erned Gibral­tar, using that prin­ci­pal­i­ty’s “fis­cal irreg­u­lar­i­ties” as jus­ti­fi­ca­tion because of the nation’s “EU oblig­a­tions.” The Rajoy gov­ern­ment is coor­di­nat­ing its efforts with Argenti­na. The coop­er­a­tion is mil­i­tary, as well as polit­i­cal. Rajoy’s Peo­ple’s Par­ty evolved from Fran­co’s Falange. It does not appear to have alto­geth­er shed its fas­cist her­itage.


Don’t Applaud for Him, Argentina: Cardinal Bergoglio (Pope Francis) and the Dirty War

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 13, 2013 ⋅ 11 comments

Hail­ing from Argenti­na, the new Pope should not be viewed as a break with the Vat­i­can’s past. Bergoglio appears to have turned lib­er­al priests over to the jun­ta, pos­si­bly assist­ing in their ‘inter­ro­ga­tion!” He also helped to obscure the kid­nap­ping of the chil­dren of vic­tims of that mur­der­ous jun­ta dur­ing its “Dirty War.” Key mem­bers of the jun­ta belonged to the P‑2 Lodge, which clan­des­tine­ly ran the Vat­i­can Bank.


“It’s Easier to Develop a Child than to Rehabilitate an Adult,” Part 2

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 5, 2013 ⋅ One comment

The Jer­ry Sandusky/Penn State child molesta­tion case appears to have polit­i­cal impli­ca­tions beyond what has come to light so far. Endorsed by the elder George Bush, the Sec­ond Mile Foun­da­tion served as the vehi­cle for sys­tem­at­ic molesta­tion of young boys. The late Joe Pater­no’s choice of coun­sel is sig­nif­i­cant. He chose J. Sedg­wick Sollers, who once rep­re­sent­ed George H.W. Bush in the Iran-Con­tra affair. A cov­er-up may involve mur­der. After inves­ti­gat­ing San­dusky et al, the late Ray Gricar dis­ap­peared from the face of the earth–his body has nev­er been found.


Ratzinger’s Vatican Benefactor

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 4, 2013 ⋅ One comment

Before becom­ing Pope, Josef Ratzinger had a Vat­i­can pedi­gree reveal­ing him to be close­ly linked to the Vatican/Nazi escape and assis­tance orga­ni­za­tions. One of Ratzinger’s bene­fac­tors dur­ing his rise through the Vat­i­can ranks was Car­di­nal Josef Frings of Cologne, who worked close­ly with the post­war SS infra­struc­ture to deflect pun­ish­ment for con­vict­ed war crim­i­nals. The course of Ratzinger’s papa­cy, par­tic­u­lar­ly his actions short­ly after announc­ing his res­ig­na­tion, is con­sis­tent with the career vec­tor he estab­lished with Frings.


“It’s Easier to Develop a Child than to Rehabilitate an Adult”: How Many Child Molestation Investigations Overlap?

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ March 4, 2013 ⋅ 3 comments

How many of the emerg­ing child-molesta­tion scan­dals emerg­ing actu­al­ly over­lap and what sort of pow­er-polit­i­cal inter­ests have been uti­liz­ing those enmeshed in the affairs for black­mail and polit­i­cal and/or eco­nom­ic gain? The Opus-Dei linked GOP sen­a­tor Rick San­to­rum was a pro­mot­er and defend­er of con­vict­ed child moles­ter Jer­ry San­dusky. Is there a Vat­i­can link to the Penn State scan­dal? Dis­graced British Car­di­nal Kei­th O’Bri­an was close to the late Jim­my Sav­ile, a Vat­i­can knight who was an invet­er­ate pedophile.
