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.

New! The 1990
Archive Show “Uncle Sam and Il Duce: American Support for Mussolini and the
Mythology of the Corporate State” is now available for download for FREE on
MP3! This program is arguably the best post-World War II analysis of classical
fascism—what Mussolini called “The Corporate State.” Check it out at: http://www.spitfirelist.com/Archives/

Summary of FTR#597—(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.) For a number of years,
author Ed Haslam has researched the activities of a number of some prominent
medical professionals in New Orleans in the 1960’s, and connected their
endeavors with research on cancer-causing monkey viruses and [possibly] the
development of AIDS. Furthermore, the individuals Ed investigated were part of
the milieu in which Lee Harvey Oswald existed during his stay in the Crescent
City in the months before the assassination of President Kennedy. After
reviewing the careers of Dr’s Alton Ochsner and Mary Sherman and the
contamination of the polio vaccine with the cancer-causing monkey virus SV-40,
Ed sets forth new information about the links between that New Orleans medical
milieu, the covert operations being conducted against Fidel Castro, the
development of a biological weapon to kill the Cuban dictator and the assassination
of President Kennedy. One of the medical professionals involved with Dr’s
Sherman and Ochsner was a young cancer researcher named Judyth Vary. A medical
prodigy with a seemingly promising career ahead of her, Judyth was enlisted by
Dr’s Ochsner and Sherman to develop a biological warfare weapon with which to
kill Castro. This effort, in turn, was a spin-off from a project involving the
use of a linear particle accelerator to mutate the SV-40 monkey virus--this in
an attempt to develop a vaccine to prevent a cancer epidemic. Employed
alongside Oswald at the Reilly Coffee Company in New Orleans, Judyth eventually
had an affair with Oswald. Two days before President Kennedy was murdered,
Oswald told Judyth that there was going to be an attempt to kill the President
on Friday, 11/22, and Lee headed to Dallas in an effort to head off the
assassination. The rest, as they say, is history. Oswald was framed for the
assassination and the truth about that event, as well as the underground
medical activities in New Orleans was eclipsed.
Program Highlights Include: [New Orleans DA Jim] Garrison suspect David
Ferrie’s collaboration with Judyth Vary Baker, Mary Sherman and Lee Harvey
Oswald in the attempt to develop the biological weapon intended for Castro’s assassination;
the testing of that weapon on an unsuspecting inmate from Louisiana’s notorious
Angola prison (who died shortly afterward); the protests lodged against this
lethal experimentation by both Judyth Vary Baker and Dr. Mary Sherman; Oswald’s
profound connections to the organized crime empire of New Orleans Mafia boss
Carlos Marcello; the links between William Reilly, Alton Ochsner and the anti-Castro Cuban milieu in the Crescent
City; review of the role of David Ferrie in Jim Garrison’s investigation of
JFK’s murder; Reilly’s use of former FBI agents as hiring supervisors in his
company.
1.
A good portion of the program consists of review of the basics of Ed’s
first book, Mary, Ferrie and the
Monkey Virus: The Story of an Underground Medical Laboratory. A synopsis of the book is contained in the
description for FTR#19. “Researcher Ed Haslam authored a remarkable
book entitled Mary, Ferrie and the Monkey Virus: The Story of an Underground
Medical Laboratory (soft-cover, Wordsworth Press, copyright 1995.) In this
penetrating work, Haslam develops fascinating connections between the milieu
apparently involved with the assassination of President Kennedy and medical
research that may have been connected to a soft-tissue cancer epidemic that is
sweeping the United States. In addition, this medical research may have led to
the accidental or deliberate creation of AIDS. This six-part interview presents
an extensive and detailed view of Haslam’s argument. The central figure in the
book is Dr. Mary Sherman, one of the most important (and sadly neglected)
figures in post-World War II American medicine. Prior to her murder in 1964,
Sherman was involved in a clandestine medical laboratory in New Orleans, that
also employed right-wing political extremist and U.S. intelligence operative
David Ferrie - the central figure in New Orleans District Attorney Jim
Garrison’s investigation of the Kennedy assassination. The central focus of the
work performed in this laboratory was cancer research—specifically, the
injecting of mice with monkey viruses to determine if the viruses cause cancer.
Haslam skillfully develops connections between Ferrie, the laboratory, Mary
Sherman, the Guy Bannister detective agency (an apparent intelligence front
that is widely believed to have figured in President Kennedy’s assassination)
and Dr. Alton Ochsner, a very powerful figure in American medicine and
politics. Ochsner was the head of a right-wing propaganda outfit and possible
intelligence front called "The Information Council for the Americas,"
or INCA, that recorded interviews with Lee Harvey Oswald, in which Oswald
proclaims his Marxist sympathies. This interview received much publicity in the
wake of President Kennedy’s assassination and convinced many Americans that
communists were responsible for the assassination. Many researchers believe
that this perception contributed to the official cover-up of the assassination,
because individuals who knew what had actually happened covered up the truth
out of fear that that the situation could have led to a Third World War. Haslam
presents his thesis that Sherman was probably involved in this underground
medical laboratory in order to research the contamination of the polio vaccine
with SV40, a monkey virus that causes cancer in humans. Haslam feels that
Sherman was involved with using a linear accelerator to create genetic
mutations in the SV40. This was being done as an effort to create harmless
strains of the virus for use in a vaccine to guard against a cancer epidemic.
This viral contamination of the polio vaccine may very well be the cause of a
soft-tissue cancer epidemic currently sweeping the United States, as well as
the deliberate or accidental creation of AIDS. The interview also contains information,
not contained in Haslam’s book, concerning the possibility that Oswald may have
been spying on this clandestine research and that this work may have been
centrally involved in the cover-up of Kennedy’s assassination.”

3.
After reviewing basic information about Ed’s investigative
hypothesis from his first book, the program delves into new information from Dr.
Mary’s Monkey. An aspect of Lee Harvey Oswald’s background that has gone
underreported is the fact that he had very close connections to the underworld
empire of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Related to Marcello operative
“Dutz” Murret, Oswald regularly dined at Marcelo-owned restaurants, leaving
without having to pay the bills. A NEW AND IMPORTANT FIGURE IN ED’S
INVESTIGATION REPORTED THIS INFORMATION: JUDYTH VARY BAKER.
4.
After the publication of Ed’s first book (Mary, Ferrie
and the Monkey Virus), Ms. [Judyth Vary] Baker came forward and discussed
information about her relationship with Oswald. A precocious biological
researcher with profound interest in, and skill with, cancer research,
Baker maintains that she and Oswald had an affair in 1963. More important than
this personal detail, however, are the circumstances that led to the affair.
5.
Ms. Baker and Oswald were both working with Dr. Mary Sherman
and David Ferrie in the underground medical laboratory that is the primary
focal point of Ed’s research. In that capacity, all of them were working for
Dr. Alton Ochsner, one of the most prominent and influential figures in
American medicine. The focal point of their efforts was the mutation [by
irradiation] of SV-40 and other monkey viruses for the purpose of developing a
biological warfare weapon. Undertaken with intent to kill Fidel Castro, the
development of this weapon may have led to the creation of AIDS.
Remember that the milieu involved in developing this device was extremely
reactionary and more than a little racist. (For more about the politics of this
crew, see—among other programs—FTR#188.)
6.
Like Lee Harvey Oswald, Judyth Baker was employed by the
Reilly Coffee Company as a “cover” for her work on the biological weapon. A
major contributor to INCA [the propaganda/intelligence front run by Dr. Ochsner
to generate anti-communist material directed at Latin Americans], company head
William Reilly was a major backer of anti-Castro efforts in New Orleans.
Screened by, and hired for, employment at Reilly by a former FBI agent with
apparent connections to “active” elements within the bureau, Oswald and Baker
rode to work together in the morning. Because their employment at Reilly was a
cover for clandestine work in the underground medical laboratory, both Oswald
and Baker were free to come and go virtually at will.
7.
In this context, it is important to note that the
biological weapon developmental program did indeed bring together the primary
figures of Ed’s investigation—Ochsner, Sherman, Ferrie and Oswald--and placed
them all (along with Baker) in a covert operations milieu that was preparing to
use deadly force. It is also worth noting that talk of assassinating President
Kennedy was relatively commonplace among members of this group. It was said in
their midst that, if they were not successful in developing the weapon to kill
Castro, then Dr. Ochsner’s powerful friends might decide to kill Kennedy
instead.
8.
That this group was willing to take human life to achieve
its goals became only too evident. When the biological weapon was complete,
they tested it on a “volunteer” convict from Louisiana’s notorious Angola
prison. The “volunteer” died within two weeks, prompting strong protests by
both Dr. Mary Sherman and Judyth Vary Baker. Ochsner became enraged at Ms.
Baker’s letter of protest, and ended his relationship with her.
9.
A couple of days before Kennedy was killed, Oswald allegedly
mentioned to Judyth that there was going to be a real attempt to kill Kennedy
in Dallas on Friday, November 22, 1963. He went to Dallas to attempt to
interdict the attempt on the President’s life. The rest, as they say, is
history. Oswald was framed for the crime and murdered before he could exonerate
himself. For more about the assassination of President Kennedy, use the search
function at the top of this page to locate the large volume of programs Mr.
Emory has done about the assassination.
10.
Ed speculates that someone very powerful, perhaps Robert
Kennedy, had been utilizing Oswald to spy on some powerful elements in the New
Orleans area. Ed further speculates that, with Oswald first framed and then
silenced, the potential embarrassment to Robert Kennedy was used to silence him
in the event of his brother’s murder.
