NOTE: TWO
LECTURES PRESENTING MR. EMORY’S VIEWS OF WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE ARE
NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWLOAD FOR FREE IN
BOTH REAL AUDIO AND MP3. These lectures are:
L-1: ‘The Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the ‘ET’ Myth’; and
L-2: ‘The Future--Technology, Theocracy and the Thousand-Year-Reich.’
Descriptions are available in the Lecture Series section.
NEW!! A number of
vitally important books are now available for download for FREE. The books are:
Martin Bormann: Nazi in
Exile by Paul Manning; The Nazis Go Underground
by Curt Reiss; and All Honorable Men (parts 1 and 2) by James
Stewart Martin. Taken together, these books will provide a significant
understanding of the concept and reality of The Underground Reich, and they can
be downloaded with a modem Internet connection. They are available at: Spitfirelist.com/Books. In addition, we have added Cairo to Damascus by John Roy Carlson [1951], Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T.H. Tetens [1953], and Armies of Spies by Joseph Golomb [1939].
Yet another recent addition is Germany’s
Master Plan by Joseph Borkin and Charles Welsh. (Borkin is the author of
the 1979 classic The Crime and Punishment
of I.G. Farben.) Another anti-fascist classic about I.G. Farben supplements
the Borkin and Welsh text—Treason’s Peace
by Howard Watson Ambruster. Two more recently-posted gems are The Thousand-Year Conspiracy by Paul
Winkler and Falange by Alan Chase,
both published in 1943. The Winkler text documents the evolution of militant
Pan-Germanism from the Teutonic Knights to the Nazis and Falange documents the Third Reich’s geopolitical goals in the
Spanish-speaking world. By the time many of you read this description, more of
the long-out-of-print anti-fascist books that are more than 50 years old will
have been added to the Spitfirelist.com/Books URL. The Manning text’s URL also features a discussion of
Paul Manning’s career and professional credentials. Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile is also available in html. Note also that FTR#305
has a synoptic overview of the Bormann organization. An understanding of the
Bormann organization is essential for an in-depth grasp of the arguments
presented on For The Record.
Note also that U.S. Government documents proving Prescott
Bush Sr.’s Money-Laundering on behalf of the Third Reich before and after World
War II are available at a linked website, along with commentary by John
Buchanan, who located the documentation. This material is discussed in FTR#435.
The website containing the documents is www.debatecomics.org/BushFamilyFortune/.
Summary of FTR#571—(Note: The massive
volume of ‘For The Record’ programs about 9/11 and related topics is summarized
and analyzed in the periodically-updated description for FTR#391.
FTR#’s 454,
455, 456 are compilations of
much of the key documentation culled from Mr. Emory’s investigation into 9/11.
Along with FTR#391, they should give
listeners/readers a substantive grasp of this momentous event. It is
recommended that listeners use this description and e-mail it to others.) Unlike most broadcasts, this program is
intended primarily for rhetorical purposes, not for the purposes of factual
documentation. (Some sources for further research are suggested at the end of
this description.) Highlighting the resurgence of anti-Semitism, the show takes
its title from the oft-heard rationalization that “the Mossad did it.” [The
Mossad is the Israeli foreign intelligence service.] Echoing neo-Nazi, Islamist
and Arab propaganda, this rationalization is often dredged up to explain just
about any mishap or tragedy. After reading an eloquent and substantive column
about the nature of the new anti-Semitism, Mr. Emory compares the venal,
vicious reaction of people on the subject of the Arab/Israeli conflict to the
way in which people behaved with regard to the O.J. Simpson case. With regard
to both subjects, people have been fundamentally misinformed because the media
have not done their job of presenting accurate information. Most of the program
consists of an enumeration of facts concerning both the O.J. Simpson case and
the Arab/Israeli conflict—facts of which most people are fundamentally unaware.
1.
The program begins
with Mr. Emory’s reading of a thoughtful column on anti-Semitism. One aspect of
the new anti-Semitism is blaming everything that happens in relation to the
Muslim world on “the Mossad.” This canard is rather like the old blood libel
charge of Jews killing Christian or Muslim babies to use their blood in the
making of Matzoh. “The Mossad did it” is the contemporary equivalent. The title
of the program derives from this. “Hating Jews on racial as well as religious grounds is as old as the
Roman destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Later in Europe, pogroms
and the Holocaust were the natural devolution of that elemental venom.
Anti-Semitism, after World War II, often avoided the burning crosses and Nazi
ranting. It often appeared as a more subtle animosity, fueled by envy of successful
Jews in the West. ‘The good people, the nice people’ often were the culprits,
according to a character in the 1947 film, ‘Gentleman’s Agreement,’ which dealt
with the American aristocracy’s social shunning of Jews. A recent third type of
anti-Jewish odium is something different. It is a strange mixture of violent
hatred by radical Islamists and the more or less indifference to it by
Westerners.” (“The New Anti-Semitism”
by Victor Davis Hanson; San
Francisco Chronicle; 9/29/2006; p.
B11.)
2.
“Those who randomly shoot Jews for being Jews—whether at a Jewish
center in Seattle or at synagogues in Istanbul—are for the large part Muslim
zealots. Most in the West explain away the violence. They chalk it up to anger
about the endless tit-for-tat in the Middle East. Yet privately they know that
we do not see violent Jews shooting Muslims in the United States or Europe.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promises to wipe Israel ‘off the map.’ He
seems eager for the requisite nuclear weapons to finish off what an Iranian
mullah has called a ‘one-bomb state’—meaning Israel’s destruction would only
require one nuclear weapon.” (Idem.)
3.
“In response, here at home, the Council on Foreign Relations rewards
the Iranian president with an invitation to speak to its membership. At the
podium of that hallowed chamber, Ahmadinejad, who questions whether the
Holocaust took place, basically dismissed a firsthand witness of Dachau by
asking whether he really could be that old. The state-run, and thus
government-authorized, newspapers of the Middle East, slander Jews in barbaric
fashion. Mein
Kampf (translated, of course, as ‘Jihadi’) sells briskly in the region.
Hamas and Hezbollah militias on parade emulate the style of the Nazi
brownshirts. In response, much of the Western public snoozes. They are far more
worried about whether a Danish cartoonist has caricatured Islam, or if Pope
Benedict XVI has been rude to Muslims when quoting an obscure 600-year-old
Byzantine dialogue.” (Idem.)
4.
“In the last two decades, radical Islamic terrorists have bombed and
murdered thousands in Europe and the United States. Their state supporters in
the Middle East have raked in billions in petro-windfall profits from
energy-hungry Western economies. For many in Europe and the United States,
supporting Israel—the Middle East’s only stable democracy—or even its allies in
the West has become viewed as both dangerous and costly. Israel is no longer
weak, but proud and ready to defend itself. So, when its terrorist enemies such
as Hezbollah and Hamas brilliantly married their own fascist creed with popular
left-wing multiculturalism in the West, there was an eerie union: yet another
supposed Third World victim of a Western oppressor thinking it could earn a
pass for its murderous agenda.” (Idem.)
5.
“We’re accustomed to associating hatred of Jews with the ridiculed
Neanderthal right of those in sheets and jackboots. But this new venom, at
least in its Western form, is mostly a left-wing, and often an academic,
enterprise. It’s also far more insidious, given the left’s moral pretensions
and its influence in the prestigious media and universities. We see the
unfortunate results in frequent anti-Israeli demonstrations on campuses that
conflate Israel with Nazis, while the media have published fraudulent pictures
and slanted events in southern Lebanon. The danger of this post-anti-Semitism
is not just that Jews are shot in Europe and the United States—or that a
drunken celebrity or demagogue mouths off. Instead, ever so insidiously,
radical Islam’s hatred of Jews is becoming normalized. The result is that the
world’s politicians and media are talking seriously with those who not merely
want back the West Bank, but rather want an end to Israel altogether and
everyone inside it.” (Idem.)
6.
This description
also features another equally thoughtful column by Victor Davis Hanson
published in the San
Francisco Chronicle during the
Lebanon War. “The reactions and media coverage coming out of the West regarding this
latest war in the Middle East are as bewildering as they are instructive. Rep.
John Dingell, D-Mich., for example, recently said, ‘I don’t take sides for or
against Hezbollah or for or against Israel.’ Meanwhile, the Western news agency
Reuters, responding to scrutiny by bloggers, withdrew wire photos taken by a
freelance photographer of a smoky and burning Beirut. Reuters had failed to
catch the freelancer’s doctoring of the photos to emphasize unduly the damage
from Israeli bombs. And the Associated Press notes that initially reported
Lebanese claims of 40 ‘civilians’ killed by Israeli air strikes at Houla,
Lebanon, in fact, were mistaken—and that the latest reports have lowered the
death toll to one. In Qana, where the Israeli military had hit an apartment
building (and were quickly censured by European statesmen), the number of
civilian fatalities reported also kept decreasing as reports were scrutinized.
Plus, we have learned that several hours lapsed between the dropping of the
bombs and the fatal collapse of the building, raising further questions about
the relationship between the bombing and the fatalities that followed. Finally,
based on photographs from the scene, the onsite rescue appeared staged for
reporters.” (“Worry About the
West—Not Israel” by Victor Davis Hanson; San Francisco Chronicle;
8/10/2006; p. B9.)
7.
“These discrepancies suggest we have little idea what actually happened
on the ground there—other than that Qana has been a favored missile-launching
site against Israel as a recent deadly aerial assault from there on Haifa
attests. There is a depressing pattern here. The sources for Western erroneous
reports and faked pictures always seem to exaggerate the damage to Lebanon—but
never to Israel. Likewise, Western news agencies rarely list a precise number
of Hezbollah losses, instead lumping them in with civilian fatalities. Does
that mean that someone who launches a missile in Levis and sneakers is not a
combatant? In addition, the history and nature do not matter to many in the
West. Knowingly or not, news outlets continue to spread Hezbollah’s propaganda.
One wonders if Westerners remember or know that, until, Sept. 11, Hezbollah had
killed more Americans than had any other terrorist organization. Most ignore,
as well, that Hezbollah precipitated this crisis by kidnapping and killing
Israeli soldiers, and launching missiles against Israel’s cities.” (Idem.)
8.
“In retaliation, the Israeli Defense Forces use precision bombs to
target combatants and try to avoid civilian casualties (though the latter is
nearly impossible against an enemy who doesn’t wear uniforms and uses
non-combatants as ‘human shields’). In contrast, every random missile launched
by Hezbollah is intended to hit a civilian target. One one side of this
conflict is a true democracy that was attacked. On the other are terrorists who
hijacked the sovereign government of Lebanon, instituted theocratic rule over a
third of the country—and started a war. Hezbollah, of course, has been enabled
in large part thanks to Iranian petro-dollars and intimidation. But the nature
of Hezbollah’s patrons doesn’t seem to matter to many Westerners, either. Those
now calling for ‘dialogue’ with the ‘major players’ ignore that Iran promises
to wipe out Israel. The French foreign minister was quick to praise the
regional role of theocratic Iran as ‘stabilizing.’ Then there’s Hezbollah’s
other patron, Syria, a country that brutally occupied Lebanon, harbors
terrorists and is suspected of being behind the assassination of Lebanese
reformist Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.” (Idem.)
9.
“So, what then does matter to so many Westerners about this war? Our
fear, of course. We want to avoid messy complications like stirring up another
Sept. 11 terrorist attack or Madrid bombing, spiking oil prices to over $80 a
barrel, or treading on politically incorrect ground by criticizing the ‘other’
of the former Third World. The Western press—usually so careful to condemn hate
speech—is utterly silent about Arab racism. But a European paper recently
published a cartoon portraying Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as a Nazi,
secure that no rabbi would issue threats that could cost the editors their
heads.” (Idem.)
10.
“Still, when this is all over, we should not worry about the survival
of Israel. For weeks, pundits have been lecturing how canny and adept Hezbollah
has proved—and how a clumsy Israel could only respond by destroying Lebanon’s
infrastructure. Yet, when the dust settles, the world will learn that Lebanon
outside Hezbollah’s domain is not destroyed. And, one hopes, those who have
suffered in the Hezbollah-controlled south will reexamine their support for a
terrorist organization that has brought them—and itself—to near ruin. Instead,
far more worrisome is the moral crisis in the West itself. If so many of its
politicians, intellectuals and media will not or cannot fathom moral differences
in this war, they will hardly be able to see them anywhere else.” (Idem.)
11.
Mr. Emory compares the experience of covering the Israeli/Palestinian
conflict to covering the O.J. Simpson case. People are stridently, viciously
polarized on both issues and fundamentally misinformed—misinformed BECAUSE THE
MEDIA UPON WHICH THEY DEPEND FOR THEIR INFORMATION ARE NOT PROPERLY INFORMING
THEM. Although the public is not, for the most part, aware of it, there was a
mountain of exculpatory evidence in the O.J. Simpson case, as well as enough
evidence to indict, and perhaps convict, Mark Fuhrman, the detective who
conducted the illegal search of O.J.’s property. In the next paragraph, we will
examine some of that evidence. Note that this is, as the title states, a fireside chat. It
is an informal talk. Mr. Emory did not source his discussion of the OJ case.
For the overwhelming majority of the information, use the search function to
locate old programs about the case. They are all available on the archive page maintained
by WFMU.
12.
Mr. Emory enumerated a number of essential facts about the O.J. Simpson
case that the media did not (for the most part) communicate. The media did not
tell people: that a report was submitted to prosecutor Marcia Clark a week or
so after the killings indicating that Mark Fuhrman had a sexual interest in
Nicole Brown Simpson and may well have had an affair with her; that Mark
Fuhrman was the head of a white supremacist group within the Los Angeles Police
Department called WASP (“White Anglo-Saxon Policemen”); that O.J. and Nicole
Simpson were receiving death threats from white supremacist groups (including
some affiliated with the Los Angeles Police Department); that Judge Lance Ito’s
wife was the highest ranking female member of the LAPD; that Ito’s wife had
been Fuhrman’s
watch commander and had to discipline Fuhrman when he wrote “KKK” on the Martin
Luther King Holiday on the station house calendar; that Ito’s wife later claimed
she had no recollection of Fuhrman and that, therefore, Judge Ito had no
conflict of interest; that Fuhrman lied on the stand during the pre-trial
hearings about where he was and what he was doing on the night of the killings;
that Nicole wasn’t living in fear of O.J.—she had a pizza party at O.J.’s a few
weeks before the killings; that all of the principles in the case had links to
“organized vice’; that Nicole appears to have been working as a call girl for Heidi
Fleiss’s ring (the call girl operation of “the Hollywood Madam”); that Ron
Goldman was openly gay and had no passionate interest in Nicole; that Ron
Goldman may well have been working as a gay prostitute and that he was
receiving death threats from his jealous gay lover; that Michael Nigg—a defense
witness—was murdered shortly before he was to testify; that Casimir “Butch
Casey” Sucharski—a reputed organized crime associate of O.J.’s from his playing
days was murdered shortly after being written about in the Buffalo News; that Cowlings and Robert
Kardashian (O.J.’s friend and attorney) were under investigation by a grand
jury for possible involvement in the largest sports-betting ring in California;
that Cowlings was a driver and bodyguard for Joey Ippolito, a major Southern
California organized crime figure; that Nicole testified in her divorce
testimony that the New Year’s eve incident was the only time O.J. had been
violent with her; that Duane Garrett—a Bay Area AM radio talk show
host—reported that O.J. had approached by Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr. (the owner
of the San Francisco 49’ers) and offered millions of dollars to become the
first black NFL franchise owner; that O.J. (according to Garrett) turned the
offer down because of the alleged organized crime connections of DeBartolo;
that Garrett began receiving death threats shortly after he made the report;
that roughly a year after making the report, Garrett went off the Golden Gate
Bridge (an alleged suicide); that the Mezzaluna restaurant (at which Ron
Goldman worked and which was managed by Nicole’s boy friend) was well known to
have been an organized crime front; that Ron Goldman’s father is alleged in a
book published in Sweden to be a money-launderer for organized crime; that
Denise Brown (Nicole’s sister) was dating Tony “the Animal” Fiatto (a former
mob enforcer turned Federal informant); that there is abundant, irrefutable
evidence that the LAPD falsified evidence to frame O.J.; that the Los Angeles
County grand jury would not indict O.J.; that witnesses who saw the real
killers were intimidated into silence; that knowledgeable inside sources allege
that the killing of Ron and Nicole was videotaped—the ultimate snuff flick.
13.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the O.J. case was the perversion
of the judicial process and the establishment of legal precedents that
fundamentally undermine centuries of Anglo-Saxon legal tradition. The
California legislature passed a special law, virtually in secret, which allowed
Nicole’s “diary” to be introduced as evidence. The volume was not, however, a
diary but a thought journal that was maintained for her therapist. It included
her dreams and fantasies. With that ruling, California law (and potentially
U.S. law) reverted to the Salem Witch Trials. In the civil case, one of the
principal factors deciding the case for the plaintiffs was the introduction of
some crudely forged pictures of O.J. wearing “Bruno Magli shoes.” One set of
the forged pictures showed O.J. wearing what purport to be “gray” Bruno Magli
shoes. Bruno
Magli has never made a gray shoe! This evidentiary travesty was allowed to stand because O.J.’s
counsel was prevented from examining the evidence against his client! Mr. Emory hasn’t done much
programming about the breach of civil liberties implemented by some of the
legal maneuvering around the “war on terror.” The damage occurred a long time
ago.
14.
As with the O.J. Simpson case, the vast majority of people have a
fundamentally distorted view of the Israeli/Arab conflict. Although
anti-Semitism plays a role in this distortion, economics and the political
power derived from petroleum wealth has more to do with this. (For more about
this, see FTR#’s 560, 561, 564, 565, 566, 567.) Question: Do the Arabs have oil? Question: Does Israel have oil?
Question: Is oil (arguably) the most important source of wealth and power in
the industrial world? Question: the last time you filled up your gas tank, did
you fill it up with matzoh ball soup, or gasoline? Question: are the President
and Vice-President of the United States rabbis or petroleum industry CEO’s from
the state of Texas? Answer these correctly, and you will be in a position to
understand the depth of the distortion that drives what Victor Davis Hanson
terms “the new anti-Semitism.”
15.
Most people viewing the Arab/Israeli conflict do not understand that:
the Palestinian cause and its leaders are affiliated with genocide and fascism
throughout its history; that the genesis of the Nazi/Palestinian axis derives
from the Ottoman Empire’s imperial dynamic of supporting the Husseini clan
against the Hasemite and Nashashibi clans; that Haj Amin al-Husseini (the first
leader of the Palestinian national movement) began his professional life as an
officer in the Turkish army during World War I (which was committing genocide
against the Christian Armenians and perpetrating a brutal, atrocity-ridden
counter-insurgency campaign against Arab insurgents); that the British adopted
the same pro-Husseini imperial dynamic as the Turks when they assumed
stewardship of that part of the Ottoman Empire; that Husseini began
perpetrating pogroms against Jews living in Palestine decades before the state
of Israel came into being; that Husseini later became an SS officer, recruited
three Balkan Muslim Waffen SS divisions for the Third Reich and also worked for
Imperial Japan; that the League of Nations (and the British) endorsed a 23/77
percent division of Palestine between, respectively Jews and Arabs; that the
British (in the run-up to the Second World War and in an attempt to curry favor
with the Arabs) first reduced, and then negated, their commitment to the
Balfour Declaration granting the Jews a Middle Eastern homeland; that the 1948
U.N. resolution establishing the state of Israel also called for the
establishment of a Palestinian state (which neither the Arabs nor the
Palestinians made any attempt to establish); that the Saudis are the primary
financier of the Palestinian cause; that the Saudis (despite being an original
member of the United Nations) have never acknowledged the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights—the legal and philosophical foundation of the United Nations;
that Saudi Arabia issued a competing “Universal Declaration of Muslim Rights”
which (in effect) said that only Muslims had rights; that the majority of Palestinians left their homes at the
request of their leaders so that the Jews could be wiped out when the Arab
armies were provided with a clear field of fire; that (under the statutes of
international law) Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is not illegal—no
sovereign state claims the territory as its own (the Palestinians are not, and
never have been, a sovereign state); that the U.N. resolutions calling for
Israel to withdraw from the West Bank are recommendation (not enforcement)
resolutions and, as such, are fundamentally different from enforcement
resolutions; that the 2000 peace resolution rejected by Yasser Arafat called
for the establishment of a common market to be shared by Israel and the
Palestinians; that (prior to Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip) a group
of wealthy American Jews contributed millions of dollars to buy some hydroponic
vegetable growing facilities and warehouses to give to the Palestinians as a
good-will gesture; that those facilities had generated between 10 and 20
percent of Israel’s agriculture exports; that those hydroponics facilities
would have provided the Palestinians with 24,000 good jobs; that the
Palestinians destroyed those facilities almost immediately upon re-occupying
the Gaza Strip; that (following Israel’s war of independence in 1948) the Arab
nations ethnically cleansed most of their own Jewish populations; that the
number of Jews so cleansed (about 900,000 by best estimates) exceeds the original
number of Palestinians cleansed by the Israelis (about 660,000 according to the
best available statistics); that most of the ethnically cleansed Middle Eastern
Jews settled in Israel where (known as “the Mizrahi”) they constitute the
foundation of the Israeli political and electoral right-wing, that gay members
of the IDF (the Israel Defense Force) receive full spousal benefits for their
domestic partners.
16.
As noted at the beginning of this broadcast and in FTR#565, Mr. Emory
doesn’t have the time or money (and consequent storage space) to archive
material on the Israeli/Palestinian crisis. And, as noted in the beginning of
this broadcast, the program is a fireside chat, intended for
rhetorical/philosophical purposes, not archival ones. Interested listeners
should pursue documentary sources for themselves. A great deal of material can
be gleaned from the Spitfire website, including the book Cairo to
Damascus by John Roy Carlson (available for download on the Spitfire website.)
Be sure to examine the description for that show at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/Books/CairotoDamascus.html.
Some of the early history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict can be accessed
in FTR#519. The book The Secret War
Against the Jews by John Loftus and Mark Aarons chronicles some of the clandestine
history of the formation of Israel and the Arab/Israeli conflict. The volume From Time
Immemorial by Joan Peters contains important (but very tedious) demographic analysis of the development
of the Arab/Israeli conflict.
