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.

Summary of FTR#606—(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 more than two decades,
Mr. Emory has presented programs indicating that AIDS is a man-made disease.
Supplementing that research, this program sets forth circumstantial evidence
indicating that AIDS may have been created on a foundation of research done by
the Nazis in concentration camps during the Second World War. Under a program
named Project Paperclip, Nazi scientists—many of them war criminals—were
recruited to do research for the U.S. national security establishment. Among
the war criminals so recruited was Erich Traub, who was in charge of
bacteriological and virological warfare for the Third Reich. After testing
deadly diseases and toxins on apes, the Nazis progressed to testing lethal
illnesses on concentration camp inmates. Among the Nazi operatives sought by
the U.S. after the war was Franz Liesau Zacharias, who procured apes in Africa
for use in developing diseases to be tested on concentration camp inmates—among
the diseases was the plague. Recent medical research indicates the existence of
a genetic trait that affords immunity to both AIDS and the infections that have
come to be known as plague. This gene—the CCR5 delta-32 mutation—is only
carried by the white race and [according to some sources] only by people of
Northern European extraction. Did the Nazis note [in their experiments] that
some people appeared to be immune to infection with plague? Were tissue samples
taken and preserved for further study? Was this in any way connected to the
eventual evolution of the CCR5-delta 32 gene as a hereditary protection against
infection by HIV? Is it possible that Liesau Zacharias was actually targeted
for recruitment by the U.S. for Project Paperclip, like Erich Traub? This
program explores that possibility.
Program Highlights Include: Zacharias’ founding of a company in Spain in
1944; Zacharias’ company’s longstanding relationship with the security services
of fascist dictator Francisco Franco; the profound relationship between the
Underground Reich and the Spanish intelligence services; review of testimony
before a House subcommittee in 1969 that directly foreshadowed the appearance
of AIDS; review of the background of Dr. Wolf Szmuness—the creator of the
experimental hepatitis B vaccine that appears to have been a major vector for
deliberately infecting people with AIDS; Szmuness’ longstanding friendship with
Pope John Paul II; the South African background of Roderick Murray—a key
official with the National Institutes of Health; review of the Nazi heritage of
the apartheid regime of South Africa; review of the use of cancer research
programs as cover for biological warfare both in Nazi Germany and in the United
States.
1.
The program begins
with a look at an excerpt from testimony before a House appropriations
subcommittee that was drawing up the defense budget for the following year.
(The hearings were in 1969.) The testimony discusses the possibility of using
genetic engineering to produce a disease that would be “refractory” to the
immune system. This is virtually the clinical definition of AIDS. It is worth
noting that the project was funded, and just such a disease—AIDS—appeared in
just the time frame posited. It is also worth noting that, in the 2002 edition
of A Higher Form of Killing, this passage is omitted!! “As long ago as 1962, forty scientists were employed at the
U.S. Army biological warfare laboratories on full-time genetics research. ‘Many
others,’ it was said, ‘appreciate the implications of genetics for their own
work.’ The implications were made more specific that genetic engineering could
solve one of the major disadvantages of biological warfare, that it is limited
to diseases which occur naturally somewhere in the world. ‘Within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be
possible to make a new infective micro-organism which could differ in certain
important respects from any known disease-causing organisms. Most important of
these is that it might be refractory to the immunological and therapeutic
processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious
disease.’ The possibility that such a ‘super
germ’ may have been successfully produced in a laboratory somewhere in the
world in the years since that assessment was made is one which should not be
too readily cast aside. . .” (A Higher Form of Killing;
Robert Harris and Jeremy Paxman; Hill and Wang [SC]; ISBN 0-8090-5471-X; p.
241.)
2.
Next, the program reviews
discussion of the gene providing people of the white race [and—according to
some sources—primarily those of Northern European extraction] with immunity
from the AIDS virus. The program highlights that gene’s role in providing some
people with immunity from the plagues that ravaged Europe centuries ago. (The
gene is CCR5 delta32.) “ . . . In September 1665,
George Viccars, a tailor in the small, central-England village of Eyam,
received a parcel of cloth ridden with plague-infected fleas from London. Four
days later, Viccars died. By the end of the month, five more villagers had
succumbed to the plague. The panicked town turned to their rector, William
Mompesson, who persuaded them to quarantine the entire village to prevent the
bacterium from spreading throughout the region. It seemed like suicide. A year
later, the first outsiders ventured into Eyam, expecting a ghost town. Yet,
miraculously, half the town had survived. How did so many villagers live
through the most devastating disease known to man?” (“Secrets of the Dead—Case File: Mystery of the
Black Death; Background”; Secrets of the Dead; p. 1; accessed at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_plague/p_index.html
.)
3.
“Local Eyam
lore tells befuddling stories of plague survivors who had close contact with
the bacterium but never caught the disease. Elizabeth Hancock buried six
children and her husband in a week, but never became ill. The village
gravedigger handled hundreds of plague-ravaged corpses, but survived as well.
Could these people have somehow been immune to the Black Death?” (Idem.)
4.
“Dr.
Stephen O’Brien of the National Institutes of Health in Washington D.C.
suggests they were. His work with HIV and the mutated form of the gene CCR,
called ‘delta 32,’ led him to Eyam. In 1996, research showed that delta32
prevents HIV from entering human cells and infecting the body. O’Brien thought
this principle could be applied to the plague bacteria, which affects the body
in a similar manner. To determine whether the Eyam plague survivors may have
carried delta 32, O’Brien tested the DNA of their modern-day descendents. What
he found out was startling . . .” (Idem.)
5.
“For a
disease-causing microorganism to infect the human body there must be a gateway
or portal through which it enters into human cells. The plague bacterium works
this way, hijacking the white blood cells sent to eliminate it. Traveling
inside the white blood cells to the lymph nodes, the bacteria break out and
attack the focal point of the human immune system. Dr. Stephen O’Brien felt
that the mutated CCR5 gene, delta 32, may have prevented the plague from being
able to enter its host’s white blood cells.” (“Secrets
of the Dead—Case File: Mystery of the Black Death; Clues and Evidence”; Secrets
of the Dead; p. 1; accessed at: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_plague/p_clues.html
.)
6.
“Eyam
provided O’Brien an ideal opportunity to test this theory. Specifically, Eyam
was an isolated population known to have survived a plague epidemic. Everyone
in the town would have been exposed to the bacterium, so it’s likely that any
life-saving genetic trait would have been exposed to the bacterium, so it’s
likely that any life-saving genetic trait would have been possessed by each of
these survivors. ‘Like a Xerox machine,’ says O’Brien, ‘their gene frequencies
have been replicated for several generations without a lot of infusion from
outside,’ thus providing a viable pool of survivor-descendants who would have
inherited such a trait. . . .” (Idem.)
7.
“ . . . DNA
samples could only be collected from direct descendents of the plague
survivors. DNA is the principle component of chromosomes, which carry the genes
that transmit hereditary characteristics. We inherit our DNA from our parents,
thus Eyam resident Joan Plant, for instance, may have inherited the delta 32
mutation from one of her ancient relatives. Plant can trace her mother’s
lineage back ten generations to the Blackwell siblings, Francis and Margaret,
who both lived through the plague to the turn of the century. The next step was
to harvest a DNA sample from Joan and the other descendants. DNA is found in
the nuclei of cells. The amount is constant in all typical cells, regardless of
the size or function of that cell. One of the easiest methods of obtaining a
DNA tissue sample is to take a cheek or buccal swab.” (Idem.)
8.
Note that no other ethnic
groups or races have the delta 32 gene that prevents infection by HIV. “After three weeks of testing at University College in
London, delta 32 had been found in 14% of the samples. This is a genetically
significant percentage, yet what, really, did it mean? Could the villagers have
inherited delta 32 from elsewhere, residents who had moved to the community in
the 350 years since the plague? Was this really a higher percentage than
anywhere else? To find out, O’Brien assembled an international team of scientists
to test for the presence of delta 32 around the world. ‘Native Africans did not
have delta 32 at all,’ O’Brien says, ‘and when we looked at East Asians and
Indians, they were also flat zero.’ In fact the levels of delta 32 found in
Eyam were only matched in regions of Europe that had been affected by the
plague and in America, which was, for the most part, settled by European plague
survivors and their descendants.” (Idem.)
9.
“Meanwhile,
recent work with another disease strikingly similar to the plague, AIDS,
suggests O’Brien was on the right track. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,
tricks the immune system in a similar manner as the plague bacterium, targeting
and taking over white blood cells. Virologist Dr. Bill Paxton at the Aaron
Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City noticed, ‘the center had no study
of people who were exposed to HIV but who had remained negative.’ He began
testing the blood of high-risk, HIV-negative individuals like Steve Crohn,
exposing their blood to three thousand times the amount of HIV normally needed
to infect a cell. Steve’s blood never became infected. ‘We thought maybe we had
infected the culture with bacteria or whatever,’ says Paxton. ‘So we went back
to Steve. But it was the same result. We went back again and again. Same
result.’ Paxton began studying Crohn’s DNA, and concluded there was some sort
of blocking mechanism preventing the virus from binding to his cells. Further
research showed that that mechanism was delta 32. Scientists studying HIV first
learned about the gateway-blocking capacity of the CCR5 mutation in 1996.
Several drug companies, then, quickly began exploring the possibility of
developing pharmaceuticals that would mimic delta 32 by binding to CCR5 and
blocking the attachment of HIV. . . .” (Ibid.; pp.
1-2.)
10.
The devastating
implications of the findings discussed above were eloquently presented in an
online editorial: “This is the nightmare of AIDS no
one wants to believe. As we come closer to celebrating, on December 1, yet
another World AIDS Day, let’s take a good hard look at what’s really
going on before we pour more of our ever diminishing hard earned money down yet
another horrendous sinkhole. It has been found that some Caucasians who have
tested positive for the HIV virus were found to take a very long time to
actually develop ‘full-blown’ AIDS (as they call it). It has since been
discovered (since 1997) that 20% of European Caucasians have the so-called
‘Aryan’ genetic disposition. If both your parents, in other words, are of Aryan
descent, it appears you can never die of AIDS even though you might be
infected.” (“Aryan Genes Immune to Death from AIDS” by
geminiwalker_ink; p. 1; accessed at: http://geminiwalker-ink.net/ARYAN%20AIDS%20IMMUNITY.html
.)
11.
“The reason
for this is in the genetic coding of the killer T-cells, which are part of the
body’s immune system protective shield. These are the cells that are attacked
by the HIV retrovirus. The location of the attack has been discovered. It is on
the CCR5 gene in the 3rd DNA gene pair. The particular location is
the Delta 32 RECEPTOR SITE. If either of your DNA pairs (from either your
mother or your father) is DELTA 32 POSITIVE then the HIV virus can attach
itself at that point. If you are DELTA 32 NEGATIVE then HIV just floats around
in your blood harmlessly for you.” (Idem.)
12.
“But even
though you may be DELTA 32 NEGATIVE at both sites, you can supposedly still spread
the virus. What has been discovered is that these 20% of European Caucasians
are members of the Aryan gene pool. Also it has been discovered that the
farther north you go in Europe, say in Norway, Finland, Sweden, etc., you find
the highest percentage of people that are DELTA 32 NEGATIVE at the CCR5 gene
allele.” (Idem.)
13.
“That this
would be a simple coincidence is beyond all human reason. To say that HIV
suddenly crawled out of the woodwork in Central Africa by someone being bitten by
a green tree monkey is one thing. But then to say that the only human gene pool
on Earth that is immune to HIV is the Aryan Race is a coincidence that even
Howdy Doody wouldn’t buy.” (Idem.)
14.
Clarifying
and refining the discussion about CCR5-delta 32, this description presents
information from an article not included in the original broadcast. Note that
this story claims that 10%--not 20%--of Northern Europeans carry that gene. The
article also asserts that what has become known as “the plague” that ravaged
Europe centuries ago was actually a series of epidemics of a viral hemorrhagic
fever, not the “Bubonic Plague.” “Scientists have
known for some time that these individuals carry a genetic mutation (known as
CCR5-delta 32) that prevents the virus from entering the cells of the immune
system but have been unable to account for the high levels of the gene in
Scandinavia and relatively low levels in areas bordering the Mediterranean.
They have also been puzzled by the fact that HIV emerged only recently and could
not have played a role in raising the frequency of the mutation to the high
levels found in some Europeans today. Professor Christopher Duncan and Dr Susan
Scott from the University's School of Biological Sciences, whose research is
published in the March edition of Journal of Medical Genetics, attribute the
frequency of the CCR5-delta 32 mutation to its protection from another deadly
viral disease, acting over a sustained period in bygone historic times. Some
scientists have suggested this disease could have been smallpox or even bubonic
plague but bubonic plague is a bacterial disease rather than a virus and is not
blocked by the CCR5-delta 32 mutation. Professor Duncan commented: ‘The fact
that the CCR5-delta 32 mutation is restricted to Europe suggests that the
plagues of the Middle Ages played a big part in raising the frequency of the
mutation. These plagues were also confined to Europe, persisted for more than
300 years and had a 100% case mortality.’” (“Biologists Discover Why
10 Percent Of Europeans Are Safe From HIV Infection” [University of Liverpool];
Science Daily; 4/3/2005; accessed at: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050325234239.htm;
available in its entirety at: .)
15.
The
passage that follows further clarifies the nature of the epidemics that
decimated the population of Europe. According to the authors, the theory that
the “plagues” were actually Bubonic Plague gained acceptance around 1900. Prior
to that, the hemorrhagic fever theory was predominant. “Around 1900, historians spread the idea that the plagues
of Europe were not a directly infectious disease but were outbreaks of bubonic
plague, overturning an accepted belief that had stood for 550 years. Professor
Duncan and Dr Scott illustrated in their book, Return of the Black Death
(2004, Wiley), that this idea was incorrect and the plagues of Europe
(1347-1660) were in fact a continuing series of epidemics of a lethal, viral,
haemorrhagic fever that used the CCR5 as an entry port into the immune system.
Using computer modeling, they demonstrated how this disease provided the
selection pressure that forced up the frequency of the mutation from 1 in
20,000 at the time of the Black Death to values today of 1 in 10. . . .” (Idem.)
16.
Next, the program turns to
discussion of the introduction into the United States of Erich Traub, the
director of bacteriological and virological warfare for Nazi Germany. In order
to understand how Erich Traub came to the United States, it is important to
understand Project Paperclip. The program begins with a synoptic account of
that project and how its prosecution led to Traub’s entry to the United States
and his involvement with the federal Plum Island animal research laboratory: “Nearing the end of World War II, the United States and
the Soviet Union raced to recruit German scientists for postwar purposes. Under
a top-secret program code-named Project PAPERCLIP, the U.S. military pursued
Nazi scientific talent ‘like forbidden fruit,’ bringing them to America under
employment contracts and offering them full U.S. citizenship. The recruits were
supposed to be nominal participants in Nazi activities. But the zealous
military recruited more than two thousand scientists, many of whom had dark
Nazi party pasts.” (Lab 257: the
Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory; by
Michael Christopher Carroll; Copyright 2004 by Michael Christopher Carroll;
HarperCollins [HC]; p. 7.)
17.
It is interesting to note
that the Third Reich’s biological warfare program had the cover name of “Cancer
Research Program.” (In AFA#16—available
from Spitfire—as well as FTR#’s 16, 73, we look at the
National Cancer Institute’s Special Viral Cancer Research Program and the
evidence suggesting that the project was actually a front for the continuation
of biological warfare research. Erich Traub appears to have been involved with
the projects related to the SVCRP.) “ . . .
Everybody seemed willing to forget about Erich Traub’s dirty past—that he
played a crucial role in the Nazis’ ‘Cancer Research Program,’ the cover name
for their biological warfare program, and that he worked directly under SS
Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler. They seemed willing to overlook that Traub in
the 1930’s faithfully attended Camp Sigfried. In fact, the USDA liked him so
much, it glossed over his dubious past and offered him the top scientist job at
the new Plum Island Laboratory—not once, but twice. Just months after
the 1952 public hearings on selecting Plum Island, Doc Shahan dialed Dr. Traub at
the naval laboratory to discuss plans for establishing the germ laboratory and
a position on Plum Island.” (Ibid.; p. 10.)
18.
Turning
to a primary area of theoretical inquiry, the program notes that the Nazis
began researching toxic agents on apes and then moved on to humans—inmates in
concentration camps. AIDS results from a monkey virus that eventually jumped to
humans as well. Does the progression in the Nazi death camps of testing on
apes to testing on humans have any relationship with the progression of a
simian virus to infection of humans? Might the creation of AIDS have stemmed
from Nazi research? Is it an accident that the hereditary immunity from HIV
infection is only present in the white race, and [according to some sources]
Northern Europeans in particular? “Guinea pigs
and white rats, animals traditionally used for testing purposes, were deemed
inadequate for measuring the effect of the nerve gases on humans. Early in the
war, it was decided to substitute apes, whose biological reactions to such gases
were believed to be more like those of human beings. However, apes were not
readily available in Germany, and Speer's office supplied 200,000 Swiss francs,
a precious foreign currency, to buy them in Spain. They were transported to
Germany with great difficulty; many died before the experiments were concluded
(TWC I, p. 351, Brandt Document Book 12, Defense Exhibit 11). Eventually it was
decided to experiment on concentration camp Jews. It is suspected that the
testing of I.G.'s poison gases on humans was known in the highest echelons of
I.G. After the war, Georg von Schnitzler swore that Ambros, Schmitz, and Ter
Meer were aware of these activities. According to British intelligence, one of
them was reported to have ‘justified the experiments not only on the grounds
that the inmates of concentration camps would have been killed anyway by the
Nazis, but also on the grounds that the experiments had a humanitarian aspect
in that the lives of countless German workers were saved thereby’ (Hearings
before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Military Affairs, U.S. Senate, 79th
Congress, 1st Session (1945), pursuant to S. Res. 107 and 146, Elimination of
German Resources for War, part X, p. 1276)” (The
Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben; Joseph Borkin; Copyright 1978 [HC] by
The Free Press [a division of MacMillan]; ISBN 0-02-904630-0; p. 132.)
19.
Turning
to a primary element of analysis, the program sets forth the career of an
interesting and [possibly] very significant individual. Franz Liesau
Zacharias was a German intelligence agent stationed in Spain. Among the duties
he performed for the Nazis was obtaining animals, including apes, for
experimental purposes. Note that the animals were to be used in experiments
used for developing diseases for testing on concentration inmates. “One tortured French citizens in ice baths. Another was a
Gestapo agent who packed bombs into crates of Spanish oranges bound for
England. They were just two of 104 Nazi secret agents in Spain whom the Allies
sought near the end of World War II. But Spanish dictator Francisco
Franco—Adolf Hitler’s ally—refused to hand them over, according to an
investigative report by El Pais, a Madrid newspaper. . . .Another agent
was Franz Liesau Zacharias, whose job for Hitler’s Abwehr spy agency was to obtain
monkeys and other animals from Spain’s colonies in Africa. The animals used for
experiments in Germany aimed at manufacturing killer diseases that were to be
unleashed on concentration camp inmates, El Pais reported. . . .” (“Report:
Spain Protected Undercover Nazis from Allies” by Ciaran Giles [AP]; Associated
Press; 3/31/1997.)
20.
Among
the diseases that Liesau Zacharias’ animals were used for testing was “the
plague”! Did the Nazis note that some people appeared to be immune to
infection with plague? Were tissue samples taken and preserved for further
study? Was this in any way connected to the eventual evolution of the
CCR5-delta 32 gene as a hereditary protection against infection by HIV? Is it
possible that Liesau Zacharias was actually targeted for recruitment by the
U.S. for Project Paperclip, like Erich Traub? “
. . . Another ‘German on the list is Franz Liesau Zacharias, who died in Madrid
in 1992 at the age of 84. A member of the German military intelligence agency,
the Abwehr, he had been in charge of obtaining animals in Spanish territories
in Africa for experiments in Germany, the allies said. These experiments
included ‘spreading horrific diseases, such as the plague, in concentration
camps,’ the newspaper said. . . . It added that man of those on the list
started up businesses in Spain after the war, mainly in the Basque country. . .
.” (“Spanish Newspaper Publishes List of Nazis Protected by Franco”;
AgenceFrance Presse [English]; 3/30/1997.)
21.
Of
considerable interest is the fact that Zacharias founded a company that sold
electronic eavesdropping equipment to the Spanish intelligence service of
Francisco Franco, a doctrinaire fascist and admirer of Hitler. This is
significant for our purposes, because this indicates that Zacharias remained
active in a reactionary political capacity for decades after the end of the
war. Note that Zacharias’ sons took over his business and were investigated
by the internationally famous Spanish jurist Balthasar Garzon (known for
indicting both Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Henry Kissinger.) The sons
provided an altogether unsatisfactory explanation for their presence at the
scene of the shooting of a couple of “parliamentarians.” “A presumed agent of Nazi intelligence was the president of
the company that provided to the Cesid [Spanish intelligence service] all of
its eavesdropping equipment. Franz Liesau Zacharias was president of the
company. . . (SIAISA) until his death in December of 1992. Since then the
company has been presided over by his son Christian Liesau Von Lettow and the
vice-president is his other son Francisco Gerald. . . Also on the company’s
registry is the Nazi’s daughter Corina and his widow Sitta Von Lettow Vorbeck.
. . . When World War II finished, the Franco regime protected [him] and prevented
his delivery to the Allies. Now, the World has documentation that
demonstrates that, during the ‘80’s, it maintained its relationship with the
Spanish secret services. In particular, his [Zacharias’] company was its main
supplier of listening equipment and maintained magnificent relations with the
then head of the Spanish secret services, general Alonso Manglano. . .
Christian Liesau Von Lettow Vorbeck, son of the presumed Nazi agent and present
[1997] president of SIAISA, had to testify before judge Balthasar Garzon in
1989. And according to the documentation that now is in possession of the World,
he did not testify honestly. Christian Liesau was, on the night of November 20,
1989, in the Basque restaurant on Alcala street in Madrid. While he dined with
friends, within a few meters of the office of the company that his father and
presumed Nazi agent presided over, two individuals shot at several elected
parliamentarians of Herri Batasuna, killing Josu Muguruza and severely wounding
Inaki Esnaola. . . . The industrialist [Christian Liesau] declared he was
accidentally on the premises and that his company was dedicated to making
clocks, omitting the fact that the company was the supplier of equipment for
the Spanish secret services and State Security Forces . . . especially those of
the Department of the Interior, such as the National Police and the Civil
Guard.” (“A Presumed Nazi Agent Directed the Company that Provided
the Listening Devides to the Cesid” by Fernando Garea and Fernando Lazaro; El
Mundo; 4/13/1997.)
22.
It
is also significant that Siaisa was begun in 1944, as the Third Reich was
preparing to go underground. Taken in combination with the company’s work
with Spanish intelligence, this suggests that Siaisa was part of the
Underground Reich. (For more about the Third Reich’s preparations to go
underground, see both Paul Manning’s Martin Bormann:
Nazi in Exile and Curt Reiss’ The Nazis Go Underground,
available on this website. “Grupo Siaisa consists
of two main companies: Siaisa and Tradesegur. Siaisa is a company that was
established in 1944. . . .” (“[New] Customers; accessed at: http://www.watermark.eu/pt/pages/customers/profiles/siaisa.html.)

The
profound relationship between the postwar Nazi underground and the Spanish
intelligence services is exemplified by the influence of ODESSA kingpin Otto
Skorzeny on the DGS. It is in this context that one should view Siaisa’s
relationship with Spanish intelligence. (For more about Skorzeny, his
relationship with the Reinhard Gehlen spy outfit and the postwar Nazi
underground, see—among other programs—FTR#558.) “ . . . Gehlen sang to the tune of more than one piper,
having remained in touch with the old Nazi hierarchy, relocated in Latin
America, whose coordinator, Otto Skorzeny, was in Spain. Skorzeny had
infiltrated the Spanish intelligence agency DGS, and effectively controlled it
single handedly. . . .” (The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs,

Next, the show examines the
political history of Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the developer of the experimental
Hepatitis B vaccine that appears to have been a major vector for the deliberate
spreading of the AIDS virus. (For more about the subject of AIDS as a
bio-warfare weapon, see—among other programs—AFA#16, available from Spitfire,
as well as FTR#’s 16, 19, 24, 25, 35, 56, 73, 102, 132, 140, 148, 156, 212, 220, 225, 228, 269, 282, 317, 324, 411, 472.) “Szmuness, a Jew born in Poland in 1919, was a young medical
student in Lublin in eastern Poland when the Nazis attacked that country in the
summer of 1939. When Poland was quickly partitioned by Germany and Russia,
Szmuness was sent to Siberia as a prisoner. His family in western Poland were
all murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. Szmuness’ years in exile in Siberia
were ‘a long, dark period that he was most reluctant to talk about.’” (AIDS
and the Doctors of Death; by Dr. Alan Cantwell; Aries Rising Press [HC];
Copyright by Alan Cantwell; ISBN 0-917211-00-6; p. 102.)
25.
A careful examination of
Szmuness’ curriculum vitae suggests very strongly that he was a creature of the
intelligence agencies. Such is the case with the Pope as well. “After release from detention in 1946, he was somehow
allowed to finish his medical education in Tomsk in central Russia. While a
student, he married a Russian woman. He specialized in epidemiology, and when
his wife contracted a nearly fatal case of hepatitis, Szmuness decided that the
study of that disease would be his life’s work. In 1959, the Soviets allowed
him and his family to return to Poland ‘where he held a series of minor
positions as an epidemiologist in municipal and regional health departments.’” (Idem.)
26.
A fascinating connection
concerns Szmuness’ life-long friendship with Carol Wojtyla, the Polish priest
who became Pope. Note that John Paul’s political history suggests very strongly
that he, too, was an operative of the Underground Reich. For more about this
subject, see—among other programs—AFA’s 17-21—available from Spitfire—as
well as FTR#’s 504, 508.) “During this time, he told Kellner ‘an interesting story.’
Due to exhaustion and stress from work, he applied to the authorities for a
vacation at a rest home. Szmuness was allowed to share a room with a Catholic
priest. A remarkable friendship developed and the two men corresponded ‘for a
long time thereafter.’ The Polish priest eventually became the first Polish
Pope in Catholic history: the current, anti-communist and anti-gay Pope John
Paul II.” (Ibid.; pp. 102-103.)
27.
“In 1969, in
another strange twist of fate, the communists allowed Szmuness and his wife and
daughter to attend a scientific meeting in Italy. While there, he and his
family defected to the West. . . . He arrived in Manhattan with $15 in his
pocket. Through the intervention of Walsh McDermott, Professor of Public Health
at New York Hospital—Cornell Medical Center, Szmuness miraculously secured a
position as a ‘lab tech’ at the New York City Blood Center.” (Ibid.; p. 103.)
28.
“Within a few
years, Szmuness was given his own lab, and a separate department of
epidemiology at the Center was created for him. ‘In what must be record time,
he was leap-frogged to full Professorship at the Columbia School of Public
Health.’” (Idem.)
29.
“By the
mid-70’s, he was a world authority on hepatitis and ‘transfusion medicine.’ In
another unbelievable occurrence, he was invited back to Moscow in 1975 to give
a scientific presentation. As a defector he was terrified to set foot in the
Soviet Union, but his colleagues assured him he would have the full protection
of the State Department. He finally agreed to go, and his return to Russian was
a scientific triumph.” (Idem.)
30.
Szmuness’ hepatitis B
vaccine was administered in South Africa, one of the areas most severely
ravaged by AIDS. “By the late 1970’s, he had been
awarded millions of dollars in grant money and was ‘phenomenally successful’ in
his hepatitis work which had tremendous ‘global implications.’ Szmuness’
meteoric and unprecedented rise to world prominence was halted by his death
from cancer in 1982. (A 1983 paper published after his death detailed a new
experimental hepatitis B vaccine program in Kangwane that would use Black South
African infants as experimental subjects.)” (Ibid.; pp. 103-104.)
31.
“As a
defector, could Szmuness have been a Russian agent? Or could he have been
playing both sides of the field by working as a ‘double-agent’ for American and
the Soviet Union? His life story was proof that he was honored by both
countries. Although the scientific world would undoubtedly laugh at these questions,
Szmuness’ professional life in the communist and the free-world was filled with
the oddest of circumstances and coincidences.” (Ibid.; p. 104.)
32.
“As a
precaution against escape, it is my understanding that potential defectors from
communist countries are never allowed the opportunity to travel outside
the country with their entire family. Yet, Szmuness defected with his family in
tow. After defecting, how was it possible to arrange his safe return to Russia
‘to present a scientific paper.’ Undoubtedly, cooperation at the highest levels
of both governments was necessary to accomplish this feat.” (Idem.)
33.
In
a speculative note, the broadcast highlights the fact that a native of South
Africa was in charge of the regulatory standards for American vaccine
manufacture. It is against the background of viral contamination (deliberate
and accidental) of vaccines that Mr. Emory has set forth speculative inquiries
into the origins of both AIDS and a soft-tissue cancer epidemic [apparently]
generated by a cancer-causing monkey virus, SV-40. In FTR#225, we noted the Nazi
origins of the Broederbond, the fascist organization that was the epicenter of
political power in South Africa’s apartheid era. In effect, the apartheid
regime of South Africa was an extension of the Third Reich. Is there any
link between Mr. Murray’s presence in a key position at the National Institutes
of Health, the Nazi/apartheid regime of South Africa, the Underground Reich,
the creation of AIDS and/or the contamination of the polio and other vaccines
with SV-40? (For more about the SV-40 epidemic, see—among other programs—FTR#’s
19, 198, 597 for supplemental
information about the topic of SV-40 and the soft-tissue cancer epidemic.) “ . . . The bureaucratic makeover occasioned by the Cutter
incident extended deep into the NIH. In midsummer, the Laboratory of Biologics
Control was dismantled and revamped as the Division of Biologic Standards (or
‘DB S’); the new agency had nearly triple the number of staff members as the
old LBC. . . Workman, even though he had been persistently skeptical of Salk’s
vaccine, was not named as head of the DBS. He was, instead, ousted in favor of
his former assistant Roderick Murray. Murray, a native of South Africa,
was a taciturn, inscrutable, and exceedingly cautious leader; under his direction the
DBS continued to live under the cloud of Cutter and proved unwilling—some
critics would say afraid—to make most any changes in government policies
regarding polio vaccine regulation for his entire decade-and-a-half tenure.
[Italics are Mr. Emory’.] As a result, the United States would lag far behind
Western Europe in adopting advances in vaccine safety. . .” (The

34. In
the successful flight capital program of the Nazis, Reichsleiter Matin Bormann
set up 750 corporations in neutral countries, and these became repositories for
the liquid wealth of the Third Reich. Overseas subsidiaries of key German corporations
were also central to the realization of the Bormann assets. Note that the Merck
firm was one of these companies. (For more about the Nazi flight capital
program, see FTR#305,
as well as the book, Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile by Paul Manning, available on the
Spitfire website.) Although the German Merck firm technically separated
from the American Merck at the end of World War I, the two companies remained
close. The American Merck was very much involved with the manufacture of the
experimental hepatitis-B vaccine that appears to have been a major vector for
the deliberate spreading of AIDS. The German Merck is an integral part of the
Underground Reich. “The movement of German assets
into Switzerland had also gone well, Bormann noted from his reports. Flight
capital investments had been accomplished principally through the establishment
of subsidiaries of powerful German firms. Over half of the total German capital
in Switzerland was used in setting up holding companies representing I.G.
Farben, Merck, Siemens, Osram, Henkel, and others. A holding company may not
trade in any form. It may only hold stock in other companies, but through this
device the existing German firms, and the 750 new corporations established
under the Bormann program, gave themselves absolute control over a postwar
economic network of viable, prosperous companies that stretched from the Ruhr
to the ‘neutrals’ of Europe and to the countries of South America; a control
that continues today and is easily maintained through the bearer bonds or
shares issued by these corporations to cloak for real ownership. Bearer shares
require no registration of identity, for such shares are exactly what they
mean; the bearer of the majority shares controls the company without needing a
vestige of proof as to how he acquired them. Thus the Germans who participated
as a silent force in Bormann’s postwar commercial campaign—which is sometimes
referred to by aging nazis as ‘Operation Eagle’s Flight’ or ‘Aktion
Adlerflug’-insured their command over the industrial and financial institutions
that were to move the new Federal Republic of Germany back into the forefront
of world economic leadership.” (Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile;
