Dave Emory's "For The Record": Recent Episodes
Dave Emory
Introduction: With the ascent of Donald Trump to the White House (again), many people have belatedly grasped what Mr. Emory has been warning about for 47 years as of the time of this writing and recording: fascism has come to America.The following four segments comprise a lecture given in October of 2000. They demonstrate that fascism is nothing new to the U.S., and that it is inextricably-link
Kirk's killing was long in the making, with his security deeply compromised and the framing of "Lee Harvey" Robinson distracting from accurate analysis. Tren de Aragua may well have been conjured up by CIA to justify regime change in Venezuela. Regime change in Iran and Venezuela actually aimed at strengthening the Petro-Dollar and U. S. global economic hegemony. 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.

Introduction: These interviews are excerpted from the fourth of four interviews with the brilliant Hal Sanderson on Mr. Emory's Patreon platform.Hal presents ground-breaking information about Sirhan Sirhan's political heritage.We should emphasize that Sirhan Sirhan did NOT kill Robert Kennedy. He was a mind-controlled patsy, a victim of MK ULTRA. The Hal Sanderson research discloses the fascist milieu both in the U.S. and in the Middle East that channeled Sirhan into the position in which he found himself.Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: Sirhan's interest in Theosophy and Helena Blavatsky; Blavatsky's German heritage; Los Angeles Theosophists' attempts at deflecting attention from them toward U.S. right-wing elements in connection with the assassination of RFK; The Brigham Young family lineage of Sirhan's California Cadet Corps commander; Sirhan's multi-lingual ability: he knew German, Russian, English and Arabic; The possibility identity of the "Polka-Dot Dress Girl;" Sirhan's apparent youthful affinity for Hitler; The links between an aviation milieu, Sirhan and Gordon Novel; Links between the Sirhan family and Middle Eastern, right-wing elements; Links between the assassination of RFK and anti-Castro Cubans; Links between Jose Antonio Duarte and JM Wave; A possible Sirhan connection to a confrontation with Duarte; A possible link between Duarte and the Garrison investigation of the JFK assassination; Alleged links between Duarte and people involved with bombing both left-wing and right-wing organizations; Evidentiary tributaries between the investigation into the RFK assassination and the Manson "op;" Ed Butler's links to the JFK, RFK and Charles Manson investigations; Sirhan's relatives working as a driver for MI6 and for ESSO.
One of the most fascinating and relevant aspects of the deep politics surrounding Lennon, his murder and the behavior of Yoko Ono concerns the background of the wife/widow, her father's work as a banker for Japanese Naval Intelligence prior to World War II and his pivotal work in the financial industry after the war.

The elevation of Raoul Wallenberg to the status of a saint eclipses very important information about his apparent collaboration with SS-controlled business contacts. More importantly, Wallenberg was a member of a consummately powerful family of Swedish oligarchs, whose operations actively aided Nazi Germany in a fundamental way and whose American subsidiary properties committed treason against the U.S. 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.

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, the deadly Com/764/MKY/Purgatory network is relevant to myriad violent incidents that took place at the same time. A new article in the series on Covid-19 as a BW weapon focuses on the corporate synthesis of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

With the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks upon us, Mr. Emory unpacks two articles from his Patreon platform: "The Walls Came Tumbling Down: Nazis, Fascists and the 9/11 Attacks" Parts 1 and 2. These articles and Dave's cornucopia of anti-fascist talks, articles and Zoom interviews with other experts are fundamental to understanding the horror show unfolding around us.

Introduction: Taking a respite from the projected long series of programs on U.S. Asian policy, these programs begin with Monte's discussion of a link between Guy Banister's "detective agency" and the coalescence of the Process Church of the Final Judgment, a focal point of a four-part Miscellaneous Archive Series on "The Ultimate Evil.A close former associate of Banister incorporated the Process Church, which appears to have served as an intelligence front, to an extent.The associate--Tommy Baumler--was a Nazi.In this analysis, Monte utilized a book titled The Mad Bishops.The bulk of the programs consist of analysis of the latest "attempt" on Trump's life, as well as the apparent Nazi genesis of the "Haitians eating dogs and cats" meme.It is our consensus that the "attempts" on Trump's life are intended to provoke violence against Trump's political opponents.Ryan Wesley Routh also networked with the Azov Battalion.

Introduction: These programs set forth discussion of the political and historical links between "Team Trump" and the fascist regimes of Hitler, Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet.A recent book labeling opponents of Trump et al as "Unhumans."The networks to which Vance, Trump and the GOP belong have evolved directly from the milieu of the JFK Assassination."Vance Just Endorsed a Troubling Authoritarian Book" by Michelle Goldberg; The New York Times; 8/07/2024, p. A22 (Western print edition) .. . . . “Unhumans,” an anti-democratic screed that [Jack] Posobiec wrote with Joshua Lisec, comes with endorsements from some of the most influential people in Republican politics, including, most significantly, the vice-Presidential candidate J.D. Vance.The word “fascist” gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for “Unhumans” which came out last month.. . . . Often, they write, “great men of means” are required to crush this scourge [the “Unhumans”]. The contempt for democracy in “Unhumans” is not subtle. “Our study of history has brought us to this conclusion: Democracy has never worked to protect innocents from the unhumans,” write Posobiec and Lisec.One of the book’s heroes is the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, who overthrew the democratic Second Spanish Republic in the country’s 1930’s civil war. . . . They quote him on what doesn’t work against the unhuman threat: “We do not believe in government through the voting booth. The Spanish national will was never freely expressed through the ballot box.” . . . .. . . . “Unhumans” lauds Augusto Pinochet, the leader of the Chilean military who led a coup against Salvador Allende’s elected government in 1973, ushering in a reign of torture and repression that involved tossing political enemies from helicopters.Pinochet-inspired helicopter memes have been common in the MAGA movement for years. And as the historian David Austin Walsh wrote last year, there has long been a cult of Franco on the right. . . .. . . . [The Great American Counter Revolution] is achievable but only with the resolve of Franco and the thoroughness of [Senator Joseph] McCarthy.” . . . .. . . . “Much like the United States founding fathers, Franco and his fellows saw themselves as rebels intended to overthrow a corrupt, tyrannical government that aided and abetted murder and rape as well as other repugnant sins” . . . .Topics of Discussion and Analysis Include: The evolution of the milieu underlying Franco, Pinochet and the contemporary GOP from an international drug and weapons network inextricably linked with the intelligence community; The role of Chinese fascists under the Kuomintang including Tai Li and Tu Yueh Sheng in this network; The role of General Charles Willoughby in the development of this network; Links between this network and the assassination of JFK; Links between this network and the Bay of Pigs invasion; Nazi SS commando Otto Skorzeny’s networking with the Vatican and Giovanni Battista Montini, the Vatican's secretary of state and later Pope Paul VI; The Vatican’s profound involvement with fascism; The role of Francisco Franco in financing an offshore, anti-Castro radio network operated by Texas oil magnate Clint Murchison; U.S. defense contractor Ling, Temco Vought's ownership of the antennae used by Radio Nord; The suspicious death of CIA officer Gary Underhill, who allegedly committed suicide after fingering the intelligence/narcotics/weapons trafficking ring with the assassination of JFK, Underhill’s role editing Pentagon reports about Willoughby’s commando operations in Asia; Underhill’s role as (arguably) the CIA’s top expert on small arms; Fox News founder and kingpin Roger Ailes’ role with the Nixon, Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations; Ailes' employment with the Coors media apparatus; The role of former Spanish prime minister Aznar in perpetuating the networks of Franco, Links between the SS/Vatican nexus and the Babi Yar massacres in Ukraine; The work of SS officials of the Vatican/SS nexus and the CIA; Review of Nicolae Malaxa's role in financing the Rumanian Guard; Malaxa's role in the empty corporate front Western Tube, whose mailing address was Bewley, Kroop and Nixon--Nixon's law firm; Review of Valerian Trifa's role with the Iron Guard and the GOP; (both Malaxa and Trifa are covered at length in AFA#2); General Motors head Alfred P. Sloan's financial support for Malaxa's railway in Rumania, that was used to transport victims of the Holocaust; Malaxa's networking with Juan Peron and Otto Skorzeny; The Great Southwest Corporation's absorption of Western Tube; The Great Southwest Corporation's handling of Marina Oswald; Review of material in FTR#1222 concerning the roles of French fascists in the assassination of JFK; Numerous points of interest with the World Commerce Corporation; Numerous connections of this milieu with the narco-fascist regime of Chiang Kai-shek.
Introduction: These programs continue to explore the overwhelming probability that the 544 Camp Street/531 Lafayette Place address in New Orleans that housed Guy Banister's "Detective Agency" was, in addition to being an intelligence epicenter, also housed fascist elements of a domestic Gladio/Stay Behind operation.Groups like the KKK, the American Nazi Party, the National States Rights Party, the Minutemen and the Christian Defense League appear to have been operating (to an extent) as agents of the national security establishment.Background information is presented in numerous programs; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-188-american-gladio/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-971-nazis-in-new-orleans/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-973-they-are-all-bound-on-the-wheel-part-2-reflections-on-charlottesville/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-81-interview-iv-with-martin-lee/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-58-operation-gladio-update/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-53-the-terror-connection-pt-2/; https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-59-the-turkish-stay-behind/; https://spitfirelist.com/anti-fascist-archives/rfa-17-21-who-shot-the-pope/; https://spitfirelist.com/anti-fascist-archives/rfa-10-13-the-aryan-nations/.
"Some Folks Need Killing!" So declared North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson on June 30. At a church. With the full endorsement of the church's pastor, Reverend Cameron McGill, who explained how Robinson only meant the people 'trying to kill us' should be killed. Two days later, Heritage Foundation President and Project 2025 leader Kevin Roberts made his now infamous "Second American Revolution" speech, warning that the revolution would remain bloodless "if the left allows it". Days later, Donald Trump laughably disavowed knowing anything about Project 2025. And while Roberts's comments have received ample attention, Robinson's "Some Folks Need Killing!" comments have remained an under-explored topic. Because as we're going to see, Mark Robinson has become quite a celebrity on the far right. With one very notable fan base: The American Renewal Project dedicated to recruiting conservative pastor to run for office and the Council for National Policy (CNP) figures behind it. Not only is Robinson the star of American Renewal Project events, but it turns out Reverend McGill is a recruiter for the group too. That project, formed in 2006 but with roots going all the way back to the formation of the CNP in 1981, is what we're going to explore in this post. Because as disturbing as Robinson's "Some Folks Need Killings" comments may have been out of of context, they are a lot more disturbing when placed in context. A Christian Nationalist dominionist context that warns of plans for a lot more than just 'some' killing.

Introduction: These programs set forth the legal concept of "Chokeholds" on the JFK assassination--dynamics that prove, legally, that there was a conspiracy.These do not necessarily resonate precisely with aspects of the historical record, which embraces, but does not delineate, principles of law.Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: How some lawyers introduced the concepts we discuss; What is the concept of “consilience?;” Analyze the “Investigations Timeline”—detailed in the Introduction; What is meant by “Standard of Proof?”; How does “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” figure into the “Chokeholds” concept?; How does “Civil Standards of Proof” factor in?; How does the HSCA Standard of Proof” factor in?; How does the ARRB’s Standard of Proof factor in?; Finally—the JFK Assassinations Chokehold Standard of Proof”—How does this factor in?; Analysis of the 60 years of obstruction of justice in the JFK case; Analysis of the Rockefeller Commission; The Rockefeller Commission's inclusion of Lyman Lemnitzer and Ronald Reagan--two very strange choices; The Rockefeller Commission's selection of Warren Commission counsel David Belin to handle its legal maneuvering; The Rockefeller Commission's use of Richard Lindenberg--a Paperclip veteran; Review of the deep political role of Leon Jaworski in the trial over the killing of Corporal Kunze, the Dachau Medical trials and his participation in the Texas Court of Inquiry along with Robert Storey; Review of networking between Ray Rocca, Paul Patrini and James Angleton dating back to World War II; The House Select Committee on Assassinations' use of George Joannides as a liaison with the CIA; Review of Joannides' work with Carlos Bringuier and the DRE at the time of the Kennedy assassination; review of the HSCA's endorsement of the doctored autopsy evidence at Bethesda; Review of Watergate and Nixon's presence in Dallas on 11/22/1963.
Introduction: As the title suggests, this program sets forth facts about John Lennon's murder.Key Points of Discussion of Lennon's Killing Include: The fact that the bullets that killed Lennon entered from his left side, whereas patsy Mark David Chapman was on Lennon's right; The doorman at Lennon's residence, who was standing on Lennon's left was José Sanjenís Perdomo, a "former" operative for the CIA; Perdomo's background in the CIA's Bay of Pigs operation and prior service as a chief of police in pre-Castro Cuba; Perdomo's alleged links to Watergate burglar and JFK assassination participant Frank Sturgis; Perdomo's six-hours of conversation with Chapman prior Lennon's return from the recording studio; an eyewitness's allegation that Perdomo did the shooting; Perdomo's seizing of the alleged murder weapon, which was not tested for fingerprints; Chapman's participation in a music club in Hawaii, to which American Nazi, Reagan shooting patsy and Bush associate John Hinckley, Jr. also belonged; The extremely unlikely possibility that Chapman could have performed the marksmanship required to kill Lennon; The possibility that Chapman may have been a mind-controlled patsy; Chapman's prison visits by MKULTRA associates Bernard Diamond and Nathan Kline; Yoko Ono's cremation of Lennon's corpse within 36 hours of the killing; Ono's strong links to the Yasuda Zaibatsu; Ono's participation in the reconsecration of a Japanese Shinto temple, destroyed in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor; Ono's association with an antique dealer and alleged CIA contract agent.
This program is a "blast from the past." Recorded just past midnight on 9/20/2001, this broadcast is a [somewhat distorted] conversation recorded via telephone hookup.Speaking with the late Roy of Hollywood, Mr. Emory parsed some of the intelligence information that was available a little over a week after the attacks.The program concludes with an eerie statement by Roy, foreshadowing what is taking place in the Middle East today.

Christian Nationalism isn't simply on the rise in the United States. It's already at the top, thanks in no small part to the Council for National Policy (CNP) and the myriad of groups operating under its theocratic umbrella. The Supreme Court is dominated by a hard right majority and there's even the CNP's planned mass purges - starting with the government but not ending there - under the 'Schedule F'/Project 2025 label. That's all part of the grim context surrounding a series of reports around the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson that should raise serious questions about just how much influence the leading Christian Nationalist hold over new Speaker of the House. But thanks the House and Supreme Court aren't the only government institution under Christian Nationalism sway. States Republicans are increasingly adopting Christian Nationalist laws, with Texas leading the way under the way under the vision of CNP pseudo-historian David Barton. It turns out Johnson and Barton are long-time allies who share the same vision for the future. A vision in line with the 'discipleship' form of authoritarian Christianity now mainstreamed in the CNP-dominated network of 47,000 churches in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Which also happens to be a denomination grappling with a sex abuse mega-scandal hauntingly reminiscent of the Catholic Church's mega-abuse scandal. A mega-scandal with a number of major CNP figures operating as abusers or enablers. It's that broader intersection of Mike Johnson's ties to Christian Nationalism with this growing SBC abuse mega-scandal that we're going to look at in this post.

This program updates the ongoing destabilization of China.Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:1a.--Presidential emergency declarations have made it legal for the U.S. to test chemical and biological weapons on the American people.1b.--The importation of solar panels has been made more difficult and opaque by virtue of the "Uighur genocide/human rights violations' meme.1c.--A recent op-ed piece in The New York Times reinforced the Uighur genocide meme.2.--An expert opinion on the Biden administration ban on chips summed up the essence of the ban: “ . . . . Though delivered in the unassuming form of updated export rules, the Oct. 7 controls essentially seek to eradicate, root and branch, China’s entire ecosystem of advanced technology. ‘The new policy embodied in Oct. 7 is : Not only are we not going to allow China to progress any further technologically, we are going to actively reverse their current state of the art,’ Allen says. C.J. muse, a senior semiconductor analyst at Evercore ISI, put it this way: “If you’d told me about these rules five years ago, I would’ve told you that’s an act of war—we’d have to be at war.’. . .”3.--The U.N. report on alleged human rights violations in Xinjiang was fundamentally flawed: “ . . . .It is well known but worth noting, that no Islamic country has criticized China for human rights abuses and, despite many visits, none have alleged crimes against humanity by China . . . . optimism was dashed by this report being released around midnight on her last day in office and without any signature or commentary from her interestingly, it is not signed by anyone, let alone anyone in authority; the authors, like many of the witnesses, remain anonymous. . . .”4.--Despite sanctions, Huawei has developed a new 7nm chip for its latest mobile phone.5.--With characteristically propagandized coverage, the U.S. MSM feeds the public a steady message of doom and gloom over China.6.--Qualcomm will be particularly hard hit by the new Huawei chips/phones.7.--The doom and gloom over China has been sounded in the past and proved to be fallacious.
The war in Ukraine has served to make the normalization of Nazis almost routine. This broadcast highlights that normalization, places it in a broader historical context and sets forth essential background information that fleshes out understanding of the phenomenon.Points of Analysis and Discussion Include: 1a.--The program begins with review of a critical insight made by Glenn Pinchback, an officer at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. This insight encapsulates an ideological dynamic that has, in part, resulted in the normalization of Nazis via the Ukraine war.1b.--Exemplifying the normalization of Nazis is the whitewashing of the Plast organization by the New York Times, which presents it as a normal summer camp.2.--A more accurate portrayal of the Plast organization was presented by Scott Ritter: “ . . . . Plast is to Ukrainian nationalists like the Hitler Youth was to German Nazis. . . .”3.--The whitewashing of Plast can be seen as deriving from the cultivation of Ukrainian and other Eastern European fascist groups by the Gehlen organization.4.--For the second time this year, Azov Nazis were feted as heroes at Stanford University.5.--Stanford fellow and conservative luminary Francis Fukuyama was among those who celebrated the Azov Nazis.6.--Azov’s Nazis evolved directly from the Third Reich collaborationist government of Ukraine. Roman Svarych, WWII Ukrainian Nazi satrap Yaroslav Stetsko’s personal secretary in the 1980’s, was instrumental in the spawning of Azov. Svarych was the Minister of Justice of Ukraine under three different administrations. (That is the equivalent of U.S. Attorney General.)7.--Ukrainian revisionist Volodymyr Viatrovych served as Minister of Education in Ukraine.8.--Ukrainian school children are now taught the doctrine of fascist and anti-Semitic ideologue Ulas Samchuk.9.--Apologists for the Ukrainian fascists cite Vlodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage as proof that Ukraine isn’t infested with Nazis. Zelensky is extensively networked with the Azov Nazis.10.--Former U.S. Airborne soldier Brian Boyenger appears to have assisted the Georgian Legion in the Maidan false-flag sniper killings. Boyenger also presides over Task Force Pluto, which has incorporated U.S. Nazis into its ranks, including indicted murderers.11.--Former Marine and U.S. Nazi Christopher Pohlhaus is training American Nazis to fight in Ukraine. One wonders if his trainees will return to the U.S. in order to subdue those who figure to be blamed for “losing” Ukraine.
Over many years, it was Mr. Emory's privilege and honor to have interviewed Daniel Hopsicker frequently and at length. In the wake of his passing from cancer on 8/22/2023 at the age of 72, we mourn the loss of this professional, and yet can be very glad for his having shared his work with us. Dr. Jeffrey Sachs "pretty convinced" Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory's 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
These broadcasts supplement FTR#'s 509, 1107 and 1108.
Significant sections of the latter two broadcasts are recapped in these programs and this description.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include:
1.--Iris Chang’s mother, Ying-Ying Chang, could not rule out the “dark conspiracy” that Iris was facing. Ying-Ying’s point of view was shaped, in part, by Steven Clemons’ observations. 2.--In an appendix titled “Requiem for Iris Chang,” Steven Clemons noted the alleged “suicide” of his associate Juzo Itami, who was battling the same forces as Iris Chang. “I have never bought the story about Juzo Itami, who was at war in his films with the Japanese right-wing crowd and yakuza.” 3.--Iris’ best-known work, "The Rape of Nanking", inspired a congressional resolution supporting Japanese compensation for those who had been compelled to labor as slaves and slave prostitutes or “comfort women.” 4.--Iris was working on a book and documentary film project about the survivors of the Bataan Death March. Some of those veterans had been used as slave laborers by Japanese corporations during the war. The Bataan Death March veterans were among those who sued the Japanese corporations that had enslaved them. 5.--The presiding judge ruled against the veterans and for the Japanese corporations. On the day of Iris’ “suicide” Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was meeting with Japanese businessmen to promote California-Japanese trade. 6.--In early September of 2001, Iris spoke at a conference assembled to protest the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S./Japanese treaty of 1951 (negotiated by John Foster Dulles). Iris called “the San Francisco Peace Treaty a travesty of justice, a betrayal of our own American veterans.” Recall the congressional resolution passed in the aftermath of, and because of The Rape of Nanking. 7.--After watching a spirited discussion between Iris and the Japanese ambassador to the U.S., a friend of Iris’ father advised her to hire a bodyguard. 8.--As will be noted at greater length below, Iris was very critical of the George W. Bush administration and had written several articles critical of his policies. 9.--Iris was very critical of the George W. Bush administration, and had taken stances against many features of his foreign policy, Bush’s invasion of Iraq in particular. Iris had long opposed all forms of racism in this country. 10.--Sadly, many of those close to Iris dismissed her fears concerning the government’s targeting of her and the overlapping ideological animosity and targeting of her by the Japanese right-wing. The historical and operational overlap between the two is fundamental and is explored in some of the material below. 11.--When she traveled to Louisville, Kentucky to interview survivors of the Bataan Death March, she felt she was under physical surveillance and harassment. We note below that Kentucky was a place where Bush confidant William Stamps Farish III had powerful connections. 12.--During her book tour for The Rape of Nanking, Iris was approached by someone she felt was recruiting her. He said “You will be safer to join us.” Was this and attempt at recruitment by the CIA? 13.--We repeat the information in #11, for purposes of emphasis. 14.--Iris was convinced to her dying day that she was the focal point of hostility from the Bush administration. A remake of the movie The Manchurian Candidate heightened her anxiety. Her articles critical of the Bush administration and, as we have and shall see, the overlapping dynamics of her work on The Rape of Nanking and Gold Warriors further deepened her peril. She first purchased a firearm for protection and was hoping that John Kerry would defeat Bush in 2004. 15.--Despite the fact that Iris’ corpse was found in her car in the early morning, her parents weren’t notified of her death until almost midnight. Why? 16.--Iris’ corpse was discovered early in the morning with her head against the driver’s side window, her hands crossed in her lap and the gun on her left leg. While not physically impossible, this is altogether unlikely for someone who had allegedly committed suicide by firing a powerful hand gun into her mouth. She felt that her problems were “external,” while those around her thought they were “internal,” i.e. “all in her head.” 17.--Same as 16. 18.--Iris’ ordeal was remarkably similar to what Rita Katz endured following her work on Operation Green Quest and the SAAR investigation. 19.--George W. Bush was pursuing Philippine Golden Lily loot in order to increase U.S. gold reserves and, perhaps more importantly, to fortify his blind trust. That trust was overseen by William Stamps Farish III, who had considerable political and economic gravitas in the state of Kentucky. 20.--Bush’s Harken Energy may well have served as a money laundering front, perhaps for some of the gold recovered in the Philippines. We note that a director of Harken, Talat Othman, interceded directly with then Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill on behalf of the targets of the 3/20/2002 raids. The SAAR network was a primary target of those raids: we have seen how Rita Katz and her fellow investigators came under surveillance and harassment for digging into that case. 21.--We revisit the deep politics of the Bush family, the family of Douglas MacArthur and William and Alan Quasha. 22.--More about the deep politics of the Philippines, the Bush family, father and son Quasha, and the possibility that Alan Quasha’s dominant presence in Harken Energy may be derivative of the clandestine acquisition of Golden Lily loot. 23.--The program concludes with review of the operations of Golden Lily and their involvement with things Iris was investigating. The Rape of Nanking marked the formal beginning of Golden Lily. 24.--Colonel Tsuji Masanobu was heavily involved with Golden Lily and the Bataan Death March, the survivors of which were a focal point of Iris Chang’s research at the time of her death.
Revisiting a subject Mr. Emory has researched for years, this program supplements Peter Vogel’s heroic research on the Port Chicago explosion of July 17th of 1944. For decades, Peter has researched that event, developing a compelling body of evidence that the explosion was actually the test of an early atomic bomb—the Mark II. (Peter’s research is available in an online book: The Last Wave from Port Chicago.) In this broadcast, author Dean McLeod, whose book Images of America: Port Chicago is due for release on 9/15/2007, joins him. (An advance look at the contents of his book, including some very important documents that complement and reinforce Peter’s work on the explosion, are available on DEAN’S WEBSITE.) After a synopsis of the Port Chicago explosion, investigation and mutiny, Dean summarizes the history of the town of Port Chicago, including the fact that the town was relocated in its entirety during the Vietnam War, in order (ostensibly) to safeguard the residents in the event of a future explosion like the one at Port Chicago. Dean notes that, during the Cold War, Port Chicago became a major transshipment point for nuclear weapons bound for the Pacific theater. The second half of the program summarizes Peter’s investigation into the explosion itself and the evidence that the blast was a test of an atomic bomb. Dean presents documents that he has uncovered which strongly reinforce Peter’s argument.
Program Highlights Include: The negative reactions of Edward Teller (father of the H-bomb) and Donald Kerr (director of Los Alamos National Laboratory) to Peter’s inquiries about Port Chicago; the tremendous interest of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in this (supposedly conventional) explosion; the background of Captain William Parsons (the point man for the Los Alamos research on Port Chicago); Parsons’ role as bombing officer aboard the Enola Gay—the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima; the characteristics of the explosion that pinpoint it as being a nuclear fission blast; an August, 1944 memorandum congratulating participants in the investigation for advancing a “highly classified and urgent project.” It is difficult to imagine that the investigation of the explosion of an ammunition ship would be considered “highly classified and urgent!”
Following up information presented in Miscellaneous Archive Show M23 and FTRs 129, 163, this broadcast features the landmark research of Peter Vogel on the Port Chicago explosion of 7/17/1944. One of the largest man-made disasters in history, the Port Chicago explosion claimed the lives of 320 sailors, 220 of them African Americans. Subsequently, African-American sailors refused to continue loading ammunition at Port Chicago and were convicted of Mutiny. Officially the explosion of conventional munitions aboard an ammunition ship, the E.A. Bryan, the Port Chicago blast was actually the test of an early atomic weapon, the autocatalytic uranium hydride lateral implosion experimental device—named the Mark II. After relating Peter's long odyssey exploring the explosion and the official dissembling that surrounds the event, the program relates the fascinating documentary trail confirming the nature of the explosion and the chronology of this early, significant step in the development of the atomic weapons.
Program Highlights Include: Peter's proof that a sufficient amount of fissionable material for testing a fission weapon was available in 1944 (despite official pronouncements to the contrary); the negative reactions of Edward Teller (father of the H-bomb) and Donald Kerr (director of Los Alamos National Laboratory) to Peter's inquiries about Port Chicago; the tremendous interest of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in this (supposedly conventional) explosion; the background of Captain William Parsons (the point man for the Los Alamos research on Port Chicago); the characteristics of the explosion that pinpoint it as being a nuclear fission blast; correspondence among some of the principals in the Manhattan Project confirming that the Port Chicago explosion was a test of the Mark II; indications that the Germans were working on a uranium hydride weapon; Soviet espionage on the Manhattan Project that indicated awareness of the test of Mark II; the possible significance of the Port Chicago explosion for the revocation of Robert Oppenheimer's security clearance; the significance of the Port Chicago explosion in the history of African-American civil liberties.
Note: This description is formatted by presenting the questions that Dave asked Peter Vogel, and then a synoptic overview of Peter's response. For more detailed information about the Port Chicago explosion, see The Last Wave from Port Chicago.
Experimenting on human beings without their knowledge and/or consent is forbidden by the Nuremburg code. Nonetheless, the U.S. national security establishment has been doing just that as a matter of course in the years since World War II.
Having imported many Nazi Germany's and Imperial Japan's war criminals, the U.S. was on track to institutionalize experimenting on unwitting human subjects by the end of the Second World War.
This program documents some of the experiments and the programs which gave rise to such operations:
Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: CIA researched the occult in what Hank Albarelli speculates may have been a research project inspired by the Nazi Ahnenerbe; The agency researched various ways of causing cancer and the effects of various levels of stress on those suffering from the disease; Both the CIA and the Army researched the effects of radiation on human beings in a variety of clandestine experiments; The CIA's "Human Ecology" research projects embraced a wide variety of experimental projects designed to learn how to control and modify human behavior; Vermont-based doctor Robert Hyde was among the premier researchers to test LSD on human subjects, some in projects the details of which have not been fully disclosed.
Exploring aspects of the "counter-culture" of the 1960's against the background of the CIA and military's experimentation with mind-altering substances and various mind-control techniques, this program asks the question: "Was it really good?"
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:
1.--Details concerning SPAN, the operational code-name for the dosing with LSD of the entire town of Pont St.-Esprit in Southern France.
2.--The story of William Hayward, the director of the '60s cult film Easy Rider. Hayward was the victim of psychiatric confinement by elements associated with the intelligence community.
3.--The monitoring of Ken Kesey's LSD events by members of the intelligence community.
4.--Former OSS agent Gregory Bateson's stewardship of the introduction of Ken Kesey to LSD.
5.--Sourcing for the information about the Bateson/Kesey dynamic and discussion of CIA and military experiments with mind-altering substances at the University of Vermont.
6.--CIA operative George Hunter White's surreptitious dosing of unwitting subjects with LSD.
7.--George Hunter White's arrest of jazz singer Billie Holiday for opium possession in 1949. Drug arrests destroyed Holiday's ability to work in establishments that served alcohol.
8.--The story of a San Francisco event featuring the cream of the psychedelic bands of the time. The event benefitted the Hare Krishna cult.
9.--Discussion of the fascist philosophy of the leader of the Hare Krishna cult.
10.--The biography of John Perry Barlow, former campaign manager for Dick Cheney and lyricist for the Grateful Dead. Barlow's role with the EFF, an organization with many worthy members and reputation but one which, nonetheless, has worked for the intelligence community.
11.--Barlow's interaction with the CIA and NSA and an examination of the possibility of his stewardship of social media.
Transformed into something of an icon during the "Psychedelic Era" of the 1960's, Sandoz's Albert Hoffman's political affiliations are fundamentally different from his "Peace and Love" persona minted during that time.
The reality of that time is fundamentally different from the surviving cultural and political narrative.
This program sets forth disturbing facts about Hoffman, his relationship with the CIA and the Sandoz firm's activities in World War II.
". . . . In the same interview [Gordon] Wasson said that Albert Hofmann 'worked in some way with the CIA' and that Hoffman’s 'discoveries were imparted in whole by Sandoz to the U.S. government. Sandoz wanted to be on the right side of things.' Hofmann’s connection to the CIA has never been officially confirmed by the CIA, which maintains a policy of not commenting on or revealing information on foreign citizens who find their way into its employment. Former agency officials have commented anonymously that several Sandoz scientists and officials, including Hofmann, maintained a close relationship with the CIA, but the 'Agency never fully trusted the Swiss' and 'always held a dual insurance policy with Sandoz' by vetting and placing covert employees within the firm’s laboratories and administration. . . ."
Elements of Discussion and Analysis Include: The World War II indictment of Sandoz for collaborating with Nazi Germany; Hofmann's work for the CIA; the presence of U.S. biological warfare personnel in France at the time of the disastrous Pont St.-Esprit ergot/LSD outbreak; Hofmann's presence in Pont St.-Esprit in the immediate aftermath of the outbreak; Hofmann's misrepresentation of the cause of the outbreak, attributing it to the use of a mercury compound used to preserve seeds: " . . . . 'The mass poisoning in the southern France city of Pont-St. Esprit in the year 1951, which many have attributed to ergot-containing bread, actually had nothing to do with ergotism. It rather involved poisoning by an organic mercury compound that was utilized for disinfecting seeds]' . . . ."; Hofmann's discussion with doctors investigating the outbreak in the immediate aftermath of the event--a discussion in which the mercury poisoning theory was dismissed: " . . . .The doctors at the meeting agreed that mercury poisoning was not evident in any manner, specially because of the persistent lack of kidney or liver damage. . . ."; an account of the Pont St.-Esprit outbreak.
Updating the Ukraine war, this program highlights a number of considerations: The phenomenon of "Astroturfing" to generate increased support for the war; the casting of a Belarus veteran of the Nazi Azov formations as a political martyr; the western regime-change institutions' support for such persons; the New York Times' shifting coverage about Nazis in Ukraine; Russian warning at the U.N. in October of 2022 about Ukraine's plans to blow up the Nova Khakovka dam; Washington Post's December, 2022, article about Ukraine's trial assaults on the dam; examination of the distinct possibility that a British Storm Shadow missile was used to blow up the dam.
There's blood in the water. With regional banks potentially looking at years of trouble ahead and interest rates well above the historic lows, distress is permeating the US commercial real estate (CRE) markets. That's been the CRE news, with the private equity now palpably excited about all the distressed real estate that's bound to come on the market. A supply and demand dislocation that can turn blood in water into a gold laced silver lining for the entities with cash on the sidelines. As we've seen, being the 'cash on the sidelines' opportunistically waiting for things to fall apart or blow is a big part of the 'Heads we win, tails you lose' private equity business model. A business model also rooted in the fact that the fund managers charge high fees whether they're investments pan out or not. So we shouldn't be surprised to learn that one of the big investment opportunities private equity has been steering billions of dollars of public pension money into in recent years is...drumroll...commercial real estate! With plans on shoveling billions more into the sector going forward. JP Morgan is now predicting these pension funds are going to create a 'floor' in the CRE markets. Yes, private equity-led pension funds are going to save the CRE market from complete collapse. At least that's the plan. A plan that's going to pay its private equity managers handsomely no matter how it pans out. It's all part of how American's growing retirement crisis is translating into private equity's growing opportunity. The kind of crisis-driven opportunity that pays handsomely whether the underlying crisis grows or not.

The program begins with discussion of Bohdan Daszak's work on behalf of the Germans in a World War II concentration camp. After highlighting disinformation in a summation of Bohan Daszak's service, we note that the Daszak family was from the Lvov, in Ukraine. That is the area in which the notorious Janowska concentration camp was located. Allegations that "Daddy Daszak" worked at Janowska may very well be true.
After highlighting the Plast organization, a global Ukrainian equivalent of the Hitler Youth and speculating about the possibility that the senior Daszak may have grown up with service in Plast, we note the significant roles of both Finland and Sweden in collaborating with the Nazis, a history which adds ominous depth to the recent admission of both nations to NATO.
Next, the broadcast details the renaming of a street in Kiev for Ulas Samchuk, a notorious anti-Semite and Nazi/OUN-B collaborator. His work is required reading in Ukrainian schools!
The program concludes with a look at the New York Times' whitewashing of the Nazi manifestation in Ukraine.
This program investigates the suspicious death of Terry Yeakey, an Oklahoma City policeman who was one of the first responders in the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. Critical of the official version of the story, he was found shot in the head--an alleged suicide. His death may very well have been a murder.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis: Terry Yeakey's belief that the official version of the bombing was a cover-up; His own investigative efforts; Apparent efforts to thwart his investigation; The disappearance of key reports critical of the official version of the bombing; Numerous witness accounts of a second person in the Ryder truck carrying the bomb; Apparent surveillance of individuals critical of the official version and and break-ins at their residences; Indications that Terry Yeakey may have been tortured and hung; Thwarting of the efforts of other first responders whose accounts differed with the official version; Recap of the allegations against Andreas Strassmeier by ATF informant Carol Howe; Links between the OK City bombing and other terrorist incidents.
International financial turmoil surrounding the collapse of several major American banks and the absorption of Credit Suisse by UBS has eclipsed a very important story about Credit Suisse's role in handling monies used by the post-World War II Nazi diaspora.
After highlighting some of the Nazi accounts used at Credit Suisse and the firing of U.S. investigator Neil Barofsky by the bank, we discuss Credit Suisse's role in the flight capital program of the Third Reich and the unsuccessful attempts by U.S. officials involved with Operation Safehaven to interdict the flight capital.
Credit Suisse figures prominently in this account.
The program concludes with discussion of the interdiction of Operation Safehaven, in part because of the indiscretion of U.S. Vice President Henry Wallace.
Note that, had Safehaven been successful, German industrialists and financiers in the defendants' dock at Nuremberg would have been asked to name their American co-conspirators.
This would have placed some of the most prominent names in American industry and finance in the defendants' dock, along with their German associates.

These programs conclude a five-part series setting forth why Mr. Emory feels we are headed for "Ye Ol' Last Roundup" and offering some insights into what he feels is the metaphysical nature of reality and why that offers some hope. His outlook is heavily influenced by Buddhism.Artificial Intelligence plays a large role in the analysis Mr. Emory presents, including a terrifying development which will permit AI's to read the human mind from afar!The first program reviews the Third Reich and apartheid roots of the Schwab family and the Nazi intelligence connections of Henry Kissinger's work at Harvard.After noting that the Vietnam-era defoliant Agent Orange was part of an overlapping series of DARPA projects whose strategic rationale was "counter-insurgency," Mr. Emory notes the Nazi/Paperclip origins of Agent Orange, as well as the probable role of DARPA in the development of SARS CoV-2.After review of Biden's new "cancer moonshot" and the strong probability that is will serve as a front for the use of synthetic biology for the development of biological weapons, Mr. Emory reviews the early manifestation of globalization that resulted in the rise of global fascism.A paper written by a member of the New York Federal Reserve opines that the 1918 flu epidemic set the stage for the rise of Nazism in Germany. Was something like that intended with Covid-19?Subsuming the theme of these programs, Mr. Emory recounts the words of Chief Sitting Bull at the Power River Council. Those words encapsulate his view of what this society has become.After reviewing a fascinating scientific discussion about the "tone" that may very well have started the Big Bang origin of the universe, Mr. Emory highlights a book that has influenced him greatly--"The Physics of Immortality." It may, perhaps, be comforting to some to believe that it is probable that, in the end, righteousness will prevail.
A welcome return to our airwaves of Lucy Komisar features her characteristically incisive analysis of an Oscar-winning documentary about Alexei Navalny, the West's "Baskin Robbins Flavor of the Month" in the Russian political domain.Supported by characteristically selective coverage by Western journalistic and political elements, Alexei Navalny has demonstrated proto-fascistic tendencies and is more of a propaganda phenomenon than a real political leader.In this program, we present Lucy's analysis of the Navalny documentary, including her thoughts concerning possible intelligence connections to the documentary's production and a quasi-McCarthyite response to her probing questions.
Since 1987, For The Record and the other Archive Shows and lectures I have recorded over the decades have gone out on the Southern California airwaves from Santa Barbara to the Mexican Border. Those broadcasts were realized by Roy of Hollywood, real name Roy Tuckman. His long-running program has held down the midnight to 5am slot on Monday through Thursday nights (technically Tuesday through Friday mornings) for more than 40 years. Early on Thursday morning (4/20/2923), Roy passed away roughly two months short of what would have been his 85th birthday. Dr. Jeffrey Sachs "pretty convinced" Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.

Taking stock of several dynamics that threaten to end our species and civilization, this begins series with analysis of the background and philosophy of Klaus Schwab, his father, his mentor Henry Kissinger and transnational corporate influences on the decisively important World Economic Forum.Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include: The Escher-Wyss firm of Switzerland; Its employment of Klaus Schwab and his father; The company's collaboration with Nazi German; The company's role in producing technology for the Third Reich's atomic bomb program; Klaus Schwab's academic mentoring by Henry Kissinger, Kissinger's collaboration with the Nazi intelligence milieu imported into the U.S. after WWII; The Escher-Wyss firm's collaboration with the Apartheid South African nuclear program; The decisive influence of the Club of Rome on the World Economic Forum; the WEF's quasi-eugenics policies.We then note that Peter Thiel's father also worked on the Apartheid South African atomic bomb.The series then chronicles analysis by elite Pentagon-connected scientists that CO2 could be used as a weapon of mass-destruction.Next, we highlight the [belated] alarm that AI's could produce the enslavement and/or destruction of society.Over the decades, Mr. Emory's analysis has focused on the enormous importance of President Kennedy's assassination. The series next highlights some of the Nazi connections to that prominent event.Key Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The Joint Chiefs' meeting with their German counterparts [all WWII veterans] in the Pentagon on the afternoon of 11/22/1963; The primary role of General Gerhard Wessel in the Gehlen organization, from WWII to his succeeding of Reinhard Gehlen as head of the BND; Ludwig Erhard's scheduled state dinner on 11/25/1963--the day of JFK's funeral; Ludwig Erhard's networking with the SS and planning for the post WWII economic revival of the Third Reich; Nazi General Adolf Heusinger's ascent to the top NATO military position, a role that gave him an office in the Pentagon.We conclude with brief discussion of the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, a subject to which we will return in our next program in the series.
Mr. Emory's Patreon Archive continues to grow: In addition to brilliant exposes by Hal Sanderson and "Monty" about the intelligence community, fascism and the new age and ground-breaking research about the depth and scope of Nazi penetration of U.S. intelligence, the most recent talks revisit the assassinations of MLK and RFK, as well as the subject of mind control.

This description opens with an uncharacteristic qualification and apology: There are two elements of the titles of each of these programs that were not adequately explained in the broadcasts themselves, although they are implicit in the subject material.The term “Northwoods Virus” is more completely presented in FTR#1215. Among the apparent goals of the “Covid Operation” that produced SARS CoV-2 is the turning of American public opinion against China. Operation Northwoods was a plan hatched by the Join Chiefs of Staff in the early 1960’s to stage apparent terrorist incidents against American civilian and military personnel and infrastructure in order to manipulate public opinion in this country and generate sentiment for an invasion of Cuba.The second program refers to the Biden Presidency as “Satanic,” because behind a studiously constructed façade of identity politics, “Team Biden” is pursuing an overtly warlike, imperialist agenda that was accurately characterized by writer Henry Miller in his novel Tropic of Cancer: “America is the very incarnation of doom, and she will lead the rest of the world into the Bottomless Pit.”Perhaps the most insidious of Biden’s programs is his “Cancer Moonshot.”Ominously, it may well be the successor to Richard Nixon’s “War on Cancer,” which did not defeat cancer, but did serve as the apparent platform for the development of biological warfare weapons, AIDS in particular.Modeled after DARPA, headed by a DARPA alumna whose CV intersects with that Agency’s apparent involvement with the development of Covid-19 and with an acting director who is also a former employee of that benighted organization, this new “health agency--ARPA-H”, this agency will employ new, synthetic biology technology.Although that development is represented as humanitarian, the structure of the agency and the national security backgrounds of its leading personnel suggest strongly that this agency, too, will serve as a clandestine platform for the next generation of biological weaponry.We begin FTR#1292 with a reprise of the audio from a (now deleted) 55-second video of Dr. Jeffrey Sachs summarizing his two-year stewardship of The Lancet's commission investigating the origins of SARS CoV-2.Sachs stated that he is "pretty convinced" it came from a U.S. biological laboratory.Next, we recap a study released by US National Academy of Sciences at the request of the Department of Defense about the threats of synthetic biology concluded that the techniques to tweak and weaponize viruses from known catalogs of viral sequences is very feasible and relatively easy to do.One of the central points Mr. Emory has made about the genesis of the coronavirus concerns the legal principle of "consciousness of guilt."Going a long way toward proving consciousness of guilt are:1.--The classification of information about the nature of the biological agents involved with the CDC's closure of the United States Army's Medical Institute of Infectious Disease in early August of 2019, on the eve of the pandemic.2.--The behavior of Peter Daszak and colleagues in "gaming" the Lancet statement on the "natural" origin of the coronavirus (Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance--funded and advised by the national security establishment--is implicated in the creation of the SARS COV-2.) Note that the EcoHealth Alliance was synthesizing “novel coronaviruses” at this point in time, an important factor to remember when evaluating the Metabiota/Munich Re business model being presented in 2018. (See #4 presented below.)3.--The reaction of government officials to Trump administration figures into the origins of the virus, advising would be investigators that such inquiries would open a "can of worms," or "a Pandora's Box" because it would should light on U.S. funding of the projects.4.--Metabiota--partnered with EcoHealth Alliance--was networked with In-Q-Tel (the intelligence community's venture capital arm) and Munich Re to provide pandemic insurance. Their 2018 business model directly foreshadowed the pandemic. “ . . . . Just two years earlier, the company had run a large set of scenarios forecasting the consequences of a novel coronavirus spreading around the globe. . . . Measures that decreased person-to-person contact, including social distancing, quarantine, and school closures, had the greatest cost per death prevented, most likely because of the amount of economic disruption caused by those measures . . . .” In 2018, as well, EcoHealth Alliance proposed a "novel coronavirus" for synthesis by DARPA. Although there is no evidence that DARPA synthesized the virus, the U.S. did synthesize closely related viruses. With the genome of that novel virus having been published, it may well have been synthesized either by DARPA or someone else, given the contemporary technology. Again, this, also was in 2018.5.--Many aspects of the SARS COV-2 virus, including its curious FCS site and institutionalized obfuscation of aspects of the pandemic it caused suggest deliberate cover-up. Why would the NIH redact 290 pages of a document requested by an FOIA suit!! Why were sequences of bat coronavirus genomes removed from public view.The program features a recap of some of the more important articles in the long series on the coronavirus, followed by discussion of the Energy Department’s conclusion that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese laboratory.Excellent analysis presented by the Moon of Alabama blog notes that the Wall Street Journal article breaking the “news” about the Energy Department’s conclusion was co-authored by Michael R. Gordon, who trumpeted the “Lab Leak” meme in the spring of 2021.In a previous journalistic incarnation, Gordon helped generate enthusiasm for the invasion of Iraq by parroting the disinformation about Saddam Hussein having WMD’s.Surprising to Moon of Alabama but not to us is Edward Snowden’s endorsement of the Lab Leak Hypothesis.Far from being the “hero” Snowden has made out to be, Snowden is an extreme right-winger, whose work on cyber-security appears to be the work of a conscious double agent. (We have covered Snowden’s escapades in numerous programs over the years, particularly FTR#’s 1078-1081.)For the convenience of the listener, we recap a 2001 article discussing the all-encompassing scope of U.S. electronic snooping—an article that reveals the depth of Snowden’s duplicity.In addition to touching on a story of a recently-released book about the Coronavirus being synthesized as part of a U.S. biological warfare program, the program recaps the Biden administration’s creation of a “Medical DARPA.”Following discussion of Moderna’s deliberate withholding of data from regulators about its new bivalent mRNA vaccine, we note a study that indicates that new, deadly variants of Covid that could overwhelm the healthcare system are a distinct possibility.Of great significance is analysis of a diplomatic breakthrough engineered by China. Brokering a rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, China has helped to re-set the political landscape of the Middle East.As noted by M.K. Bhadrakumar, the realignment may signal a demise of the dollar as the global reserve currency of choice. IF such a development ensues, it will prove devastating to America’s imperial status, curtailing the military industrial complex in particular.Mr. Emory expresses his great fear that this will not be allowed to develop—the above-mentioned “Cancer Moonshot” and lethal, synthesized micro-organisms and pandemics will very likely be the American answer to the long-term economic and political implications of the Chinese diplomatic coup.

Updating the Ukraine war, this broadcast centers largely on the wholesale whitewashing of Ukrainian Nazi fighting formations, the Azov units, in particular.In turn, this whitewashing is the historical culmination of a long process.As Mr. Emory has noted in many programs and posts, the Russia-Ukraine war has completed the process of the Nazification of America that he has chronicled for the better part of half a century.A central role in that process was played by General Franz Halder.We have taken note of Halder before, discussing the fact that Reinhard Gehlen cleared his formation of a working agreement with the U.S. by conferring with Halder and Admiral Karl von Doenitz, who succeeded Hitler, following his alleged "suicide."Perhaps even more important is his decisive post-war work revising the history of the Wehrmacht and World War II, shepherding blatant, readily verifiable lies into accepted historical truth.In the long, ongoing series of programs about the Ukraine war, Mr. Emory has discussed his belief that the war has functioned in a manner not unlike the Philosopher's Stone of the medieval alchemists.That stone was believed to be able to transform lead into gold. The war is transforming individuals and institutions in the West into the same historical revisionist fabric as the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory." . . . . After the war, he lived a comfortable life as an author, commentator and 'historical consultant' for the U.S. Army Center of Military History (CMH). . . ."". . . . Halder’s job was to rehabilitate Nazism for the benefit of his new American patrons. If the Nazis could be ideologically separated from the German people and the German Army, America could use the most useful of Hitler’s soldiers in their war against the Soviet Union without raising suspicion. Halder oversaw a team of 700 former Wehrmacht officers and intentionally set about rewriting history to present the image of a clean Wehrmacht and a German people ignorant of Nazi brutality. His deputy was CIA agent Adolf Heusinger, a Nazi war criminal who was largely responsible for planning the endless massacres of 'security warfare,' and was later a commander of both the German Army and NATO. . . ."" . . . . Halder enjoyed special status, releasing information to only the most privileged journalists and historians. With the legitimacy granted by his title, access to information, and U.S. government backing, Halder’s CMH was considered a gold standard source for academic historians and their information was highly coveted. Halder used this to carefully vet to whom he released information, ensuring he got the maximum impact.""From 1955 to 1991 his works were cited at least 700 times in academic publications, especially by professors and researchers in Western military academies. Since Western historians were forced to drink from Halder’s well, they passed down the poison to their students, and from there the lies worked their way into the public consciousness. Eventually, Nazi propaganda was laundered into 'truth' through simple repetition and careful control of sources. . . . ."Next, we detail the ideological identification of the top Ukrainian military commander with Third Reich Ally Stephan Bandera.The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Four Star General Valery Zaluzhnyi is not shy about his profound affinity with Bandera: “ . . . . Zaluzhnyi is shown in uniform standing in a military office with several other soldiers in front of a desk adorned with busts of OUN-B leaders and Nazi-collaborators Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych. Photos of both Shukhevych and Bandera are also prominently hanging on the wall in the background along with the red and black Banderite flag. . . .”As discussed in our previous article, post-World War II U.S. political culture has been shaped by the Nazi/Pentagon alliance of General Franz Halder and hundreds of his former fellow Wehrmacht officers. That alliance has re-shaped the perception of the Second World War in an unabashedly pro-Nazi fashion.The whitewashing of Bandera and his OUN/B dates back to the incorporation of that organization’s parent agency, the Reinhard Gehlen “Org” into the U.S. intelligence establishment.The Belarus Secret by John Loftus; Alfred A. Knopf & Co. [HC]; Copyright 1982 by John Loftus; ISBN 0-394-52292-3; p. 104.. . . . The CIC had an agent who photographed eleven volumes of the secret files of the OUN/Bandera. These files clearly show how most of its members worked for the Gestapo or SS as policemen, executioners, partisan hunters, and municipal officials. The OUN contribution to the German war effort was significant, including raising volunteers for several SS divisions. It was precisely because of its work with the Nazis that Wisner wanted to hire the OUN for his special forces. . . .The New York Times has been at the forefront of the whitewashing of the Azov formations and wholesale denial of the Nazification of the Ukrainian national security structure.Now, “the Gray Lady” has been glorifying the Bratstvo battalion, another of the fascist fighting formations in the Ukrainian order of battle.Descended from the UNA-UNSO, itself having been led by Yuri Shukhevych, son and collaborator of Roman Shukhevych, the Bratstvo battalion is being hailed as an exemplary commando unit.(Roman Shukhevych was an OUN/B war criminal who, among other things, led the Lvov pogrom of June 30, 1941 committed by the SS-controlled Einsatzgruppe Nachtigall. He was declared a “Hero of Ukraine” by the political forces behind the Maidan coup.)Among those joining the normalization of Azov Nazis are: Vogue magazine, MSNBC and the School of Visual Arts (New York).Former press officer of the Azov Battalion, Dmytro Kozatsky has achieved gravitas in the West at the named institutions.“ . . . . Protests erupted at DOC NYC’s premiere of the film Freedom on Fire (2022) at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) Theatre in Manhattan, which hosted Kozatsky as a guest speaker. Audience members who raised the accusations during a Q&A were forcibly removed from the event. . . .”Author Lambert Strether concludes: “ . . . . what stuns me is the ease with which Kozatsky is penetrating our cultural institutions. Booking agents, facilities managers, press agents, board members who organize such things, fashion editors, network anchors: All combining their efforts to service a Nazi professionally, as if it were the most normal thing in the world, which at this point perhaps it is. . . .”The Nazification of America via the Azov “Philosopher’s Stone” has swept up Congressional representatives from both political parties and academic groups at Stanford University.Not to be outdone by the above individuals and institutions, the ADL has joined the chorus declaring that the Azovs aren’t Nazis.Perhaps the whitewashing of the Azov Nazis should not surprise, particularly given that the formations’ atrocities in Ukraine are widely attributed to—drumroll, fanfare—the Russians!Foremost in the Western falsification of Ukrainian/Azov atrocities is the massacre at Bucha, which helped terminate and marginalize ongoing behind-the-scenes negotiations to end the war.One of the few Western voices correctly attributing the Bucha massacre is Scott Ritter.“ . . . . Ukrainian security forces, in particular the “Safari” unit staffed by veterans of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, caught up with scores of these refugees while they made their way north and, in the vernacular of the Ukrainians, “cleansed” them, gunning them down on the spot, or binding their hands behind their backs before executing them in the alleyways and streets of Bucha. . . .”

Continuing our visits with Jim DiEugenio, we alter our focus somewhat to JFK's civil rights policy. Although the subject is presented in JFK Revisited, we delineate a deep dive into a magnificent group of four essays that Jim did on his website www.kennedysandking.com: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.To make a VERY long story short: "The Kennedy administration did more to advance civil rights in three years than the prior 18 did in nearly a century. This is simply a matter of record. (See the chart at the end of Part 3.)"
This broadcast continues our visits with Jim DiEugenio--author of Destiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited--selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his latest documentary.We highlight: Jefferson Morley’s observation that recent release of documents by Biden is inadequate—many documents remain classified, including many important ones; The discussion of Admiral Burkley’s aide James Young and his aides Mills and Martinell’s retrieval of material from the limousine; Ruby’s numerous Mob connections, and RFK’s role going after Mafia; The deep politics of Mob involvement in the assassination of JFK, as well as the killing of RFK; The Alliance for Progress: What JFK intended with the policy and LBJ’s steering of the program in a diametrically opposite direction; analysis of JFK’s attempts at establishing a more balanced policy toward the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Topics covered include; JFK’s diplomatic overture to Nasser, to which the Egyptian president was receptive; Kennedy’s discussions with Israel seeking to gain assurance that the Dimona nuclear reactor was for peaceful purposes only.
On Mr. Emory's Patreon site, the most recent one hour talks include: Debunking of the "controlled demolition" disinformation with regard to the 9/11 attacks; the O.J. Simpson case and the assassination of Martin Luther King, as well as Covid-19 and the Chinese economy post "Zero Covid." Dr. Jeffrey Sachs "pretty convinced" Covid came from a U.S. Bio-Lab.

Our ongoing series of interviews with Jim DiEugenio--selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for the documentary JFK Revisited and to write and edit the book derived from the film—presents an extremely enriching guest, John Newman.Discussion concludes with what Senator Richard Schweiker noted: that there were “the fingerprints of Intelligence all around Oswald.” An important consideration bracketing this discussion concerns the CIA’s counterintelligence search/obsession for a KGB mole within the Agency. John has written, and is writing, about that subject. Oswald’s “defection” to the USSR overlapped that dynamic.Author of among other titles JFK and Vietnam and Oswald and the CIA, John was deeply involved with Stone’s 1991 opus JFK.The interviews begin with review of topics previously discussed in this FTR series, including: President Eisenhower’s order to kill Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, reaching a crescendo with Ike’s outburst at a national security meeting demanding aloud Lumumba’s termination; Presidents Trump’s and Biden’s balking at the mandated release of documents pursuant to the ARRB’s mandate; discussion of Operation Northwoods, Lyman Lemnitzer’s and Maxwell Taylor’s planned series of provocations designed to provoke a U.S. invasion of Cuba.Next, we review JFK’s Vietnam policy (this, too, has been covered in past talks, however we present added depth drawing on John’s expertise and published book JFK and Vietnam.)We then highlight General Curtis LeMay’s attitude toward and behavior with regard to JFK.
Focusing primarily on an extremely ominous development, these programs set forth a new “War on Cancer,” launched by the Biden administration. The primary rationale for the development of a new federal agency, this new organization appears to be a medical/scientific iteration of DARPA—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.Ominously, it may well be the successor to Richard Nixon’s “War on Cancer,” which did not defeat cancer, but did serve as the apparent platform for the development of biological warfare weapons, AIDS in particular.The Third Reich's biological warfare program was masked as a cancer research facility.Modeled after DARPA, headed by a DARPA alumna whose CV intersects with that Agency’s apparent involvement with the development of Covid-19 and with an acting director who is also a former employee of that benighted organization, this new “health agency--ARPA-H”, this agency will employ new, synthetic biology technology.Although that development is represented as humanitarian, the structure of the agency and the national security backgrounds of its leading personnel suggest strongly that this agency, too, will serve as a clandestine platform for the next generation of biological weaponry.The second program begins with a signature point of information—a brief Twitter video of Professor Jeffrey Sachs opining that SARS Cov-2 originated from a U.S. biological laboratory. His frankly obligatory qualification that it was a “blunder” is best understood as “business as usual” for a relatively high-profile public figure.Were he to say otherwise, he would be subject to retribution, possibly deadly.As it is now, he will simply be ignored.Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: An update on Philip Zelikow's overlapping roles in the 9/11 "investigation," the realization of PNAC's defense recommendations, as well as the "inquiry" into Covid-19; Review of Peter Thiel's and Trump's apparently successful attempt at kneecapping the FDA; The numerous CIA and reactionary links to the development of Moderna's mRNA Omicron booster; A jellyfish whose genome may very well yield information for a synthetic biology/life extension eugenic manifestation of interest to "Team Thiel;" The career of Anthony Fauci and its "bookends"--AIDS and Covid-19.
This broadcast continues our visits with Jim DiEugenio--author of Destiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited--selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his latest documentary.In these broadcasts, we are additionally privileged by the participation of Paul Bleau, a veteran JFK assassination researcher who is prominently featured in JFK Revisited.The recent inquiries into the 1/6/2021 insurrection have yielded some journalistic coverage (Washington Post) of Secret Service destruction of records of 1963 threats to JFK from “white supremacist” groups. We begin by presenting Paul’s analysis of the Chicago plot against JFK’s life; with apparent shooters positioned in a high-rise building to eliminate JFK as he traveled in a motorcade.Next, Paul analyzes the plot against JFK’s life in Tampa.Following discussion of the previous plots against JFK in 1963, we turn to Oswald’s presence in New Orleans and the cast of characters revolving around Guy Banister's "detective agency."In a previous program, we noted that the term “Conspiracy Theorist” was greatly elevated in its use and intellectual profile by stressing the utility of the moniker in discrediting Warren Commission critics.Instead of “conspiracy,” the term “networking” is both accurate and resonates positively with the relationships that characterize the JFK assassination landscape.Among Paul Bleau’s numerous articles available on kennedysandking.com is one about Oswald’s escorts. We delve into some aspects of the networking involving Oswald and the Camp Street milieu in New Orleans.
This broadcast continues our visits with Jim DiEugenio--author of Destiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited--selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his latest documentary.In these broadcasts, we are additionally privileged by the participation of Dr. Gary Aquilar, one of the experts featured in the Stone/DiEugenio documentary, as well as being one of the ground-breaking figures in the ongoing inquiry into the medical evidence in the assassination.Dr. Aquilar highlighted the deep professional compromising of people who filled "expert" roles in the various medical examinations, the involvement of a number of them as "experts" in other, important intelligence-connected cases such as the assassination of Martin Luther King.In particular, Dr. Aquilar parsed the inconsistencies in a review of the medical evidence in the JFK assassination case that was instituted by then Attorney General Ramsey Clark--"inconsistencies" which are difficult to ascribe to caprice or error.In addition to his presentation of new material with which even Jim DiEugenio was unfamiliar, Gary was instrumental in discussion of the medical/forensic evidence in the JFK assassination case.

Expressing a sentiment that appears to have been shared by many in the government, Secret Service agent Elmer Moore branded JFK a “traitor” in a conversation with Jim Gochenaur:
JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [HC]; Copyright 2022 by Jim DiEugenio; Introduction Copyright 2022 by Oliver Stone; ISBN 978-1-5107-7287-8; p. 205.
. . . . Jim Gochenaur: Moore leaned back in his big comfortable leather chair and he said, “Who killed Jack Kennedy?” Then he said, “Well, I’ll tell you who didn’t. With 100 percent certainty. It wasn’t the Russians.” And my head is starting to swim, I wanted to break in right at that point. But then he said, “I’ll tell you why—JFK was the Russians’ boy. He was giving away everything he could. That man, for all intents and purposes, dare I say it? Jim, I will say it. JFK was a traitor.”
The bizarre saga of the convoluted journey of the “Magic Bullet” (CE399) is framed by Parkland Hospital O.P. Wright’s widow, who stated that “more than one nurse” had found bullets on stretchers at the hospital on the day Kennedy was shot.

. . . . [Josiah] Thompson gave an important speech at the 2003 Duquesne University JFK Assassination Conference. He revealed that, in a 1993 interview, O.P. Wright’s widow—who also worked at Parkland Hospital—said that more than one nurse had approached her I the twenty-four hours after the assassination because they had found bullets on gurneys. . . .
Additional Points of Discussion and Analysis Include: The lack of identifiable fingerprints on the rifle allegedly used by Oswald to kill JFK; Former police officer and Parkland Hospital security official O.D. Wright's claim that the bullet he found on a stretcher at Parkland had a pointed tip, unlike CE399; Warren Commission members' dissent from the official version of the assassination; The fact that the FBI's and CIA's analysis of the shooting differed from the Warren Commission's thesis; The test firings of bullets into skulls from behind that produced results antithetical to the Warren Commission's thesis; The discovery of skull fragments in both Dealey Plaza on 11/22/1963 and in the limousine; Discovery of a bullet with a bent tip in JFK's limousine; Admiral George Burkley (JFK's personal physician) and his contravention of the Warren Commission's thesis; Cover-up of Burkley's analysis by the Warren Commission; Burkley's family's accounts of Burkley's disagreement with the official version of the assassination; the curious--and ominous--reversal by Burkley's daughter on her initial agreement to cooperate with independent investigators.
This broadcast continues our visits with Jim DiEugenio--author of Destiny Betrayed and JFK Revisited--selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his latest documentary.
Jim begins by relating Oliver Stone’s address to the Cannes Film Festival, following the screening of JFK Revisited.
Noting the evidentiary archives assembled and credentialed by the ARRB, he noted that “conspiracy theory” has become “conspiracy fact.”
Recorded on Veterans’ Day of 2022, we noted Oliver Stone’s own service as a decorated combat infantryman in Vietnam, and recapped how JFK was withdrawing the U.S. from Vietnam when he was killed.
As we transition into analysis of the ballistic and medical/forensic evidence, a telling quote frames the discussion of CE399 (the "Magic Bullet") and the situation in Parkland Hospital on 11/22/1963:

It's not a secret plot to purge the federal government of its career staffers and replace them with partisan hacks. It was a secret when then-President Trump set the plot in motion 13 days before the 2020 election with an executive order. The "Schedule F" executive order plot - centered around a bureaucratic loophole discovered in January of 2019 by an obscure Trump administration official - opened the floodgates. And while the mass firings never actually took place in the final months of the Trump administration, those floodgates remain open along with the plot. That's the explosive revelation described in a pair of articles put out by Axios back in July: The Schedule F plot continues. The Trump administration isn't wasting any time next time. A mass purge of the federal government will be one of the first moves of a second Trump administration. And now that Donald Trump has thrown his hat in the ring one more time the prospect of seeing this plot put into effect is very real. But as we're going to see, that ongoing plot is real whether or not Trump gets the nomination and 'wins' the race. Because the ongoing Schedule F effort isn't just a MAGA-land plot. The powerful Council for National Policy (CNP) is deeply invested in it, with the CNP's Conservative Policy Institute (CPI) playing a leading and growing role. Schedule F is the plan. Or at least the start of the plan. As we're also going to see, there's a larger plot being developed for what to do after the Schedule F purge and all the obstacles are out of the way. A larger plot for that appears to be inspired by none other than Curtis "Mencius Moldbug" Yarvin, whose ideas for a post-democratic America are only growing in elite conservative circles. That's the plot we're going to be covering in this post. The plans for Schedule F and beyond. Plans and tens of millions of dollars and army of CNP-activists working to make them a reality.
On Sunday, November 27th, at 1 pm Pacific Time, we will be visiting with prolific author Jim DiEugenio, who was selected to write the screenplay for Oliver Stone's documentary "JFK Revisited." We will have time for Mr. DiEugenio to interact with the audience. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

Nothing is more important in the JFK investigation than the role of the media, the element we rely upon for our information. That distillate provides us with our basis for making intelligent, measured decisions.
In our long series of interviews with Mr. DiEugenio about his book Destiny Betrayed, we noted that the media have functioned closely with the intelligence services and other federal agencies to actively cover-up the truth.
The program begins with Jim's review of the media's role in the Garrison case.
Next, we synopsize the role of media vis a vis the Warren Report, including: Major networks and MSM print voices (NYT, WaPo) endorse report, despite the fact that the 26 volumes of testimony and exhibits had yet to be released; Warren Commissioner John J. McCloy's CBS interview where he doesn’t answer Walter Cronkite’s query, nor does he mention that his daughter Ellen heavily liaised with network management on the program; Alec Baldwin’s experience with NBC, who wouldn’t let him book guests critical of the Warren Report and is told that NBC’s stance is to support the official version of the assassination (Tom Brokaw—“No Garrison”); Background on the Sarnoff family's intelligence connections.
We then synopsize Life Magazine's role in the cover-up, including: Though not discussed in JFK Revisited, it was Life that purchased Zapruder film and then re-arranged the still frames in its issue supporting Warren Report; Henry Luce’s role as enabler of the Powers That Be (his idol, BTW, was Mussolini); C.D. Jackson’s role with Life—though not discussed in film, he was a lifelong intel/national security player; Life’s publication of the cover photo of “Oswald” holding the rifle and pistol he supposedly used in the killings; Oswald's wedding ring on different fingers of “Oswald’s” hand.
Next, we highlight key aspects of the rifle allegedly used by Oswald, including: The salient fact that in Texas (at that point in time) anyone could purchase a rifle over the counter without documentation; Why would anyone planning a political assassination purchase a mail-order rifle?; Different barrel lengths of “Oswald’s” rifle in various presentations; different mountings of sling on “Oswald’s” rifle in various presentations; The fact that mail order box wasn’t in Oswald’s name, so he couldn’t have received the weapon; the disparate time frames involved in sending the weapon through the mail.
We conclude with discussion of the rifle and forensics vis a vis its present on 6th floor “sniper’s perch," including: The remarkably neat placement of the spent cartridges in the “sniper’s nest;” Reporter Tom Alyea's discussion of how the "sniper's perch" looked prior to apparent interference.
In this broadcast, we continue our discussion with the heroic Jim DiEugenio, selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his documentary JFK Revisited. Jim also wrote the book containing transcripts of both the two-hour and four-hour versions of the documentary and supplemental interviews.
No discovery by the ARRB was more important than its uncovering of the Operation Northwoods contingency plan to set up a provocation to justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
The lawsuit filed by the Mary Ferrell Foundation aims at compelling further disclosure about Northwoods.
At loggerheads with then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer, JFK replaced him with Maxwell Taylor, unaware that Taylor and Lemnitzer were close.
The ARRB faced serious resistance from the Secret Service in its attempts to shed further light on the JFK assassination. Although prohibited by law from doing so, the Secret Service destroyed documents.
Particularly noteworthy are documents from the agency about two attempts on JFK's life in 1963 that may very well have been part of the constellation of events leading up to Dallas on 11/22.
That agency was particularly reluctant to share records about the two attempts on JFK’s life.
ARRB member Douglas Horne uncovered some fascinating information about pay records of both Oswald during his last months in the Marines and TSBD manager Roy Truly, Oswald’s supervisor at the building.
In this broadcast, we continue our discussion with the heroic Jim DiEugenio, selected by Oliver Stone to write the screenplay for his documentary JFK Revisited. Jim also wrote the book containing transcripts of both the two-hour and four-hour versions of the documentary and supplemental interviews.
The program begins with review of the manner in which our society is driven by visual events: the "crawl" at the end of the movie "JFK" led to the formation of the ARRB, in a manner analogous to how the airing of the Zapruder film on Geraldo Rivera's Good Night America led to the formation of the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
Next, we note that the ARRB staffers were people who did not believe that JFK's assassination was a conspiracy, nor did they think that there was a cover-up.
Notable in the ARRB's proceedings is the fact that neither CIA operations records nor Congressional records are accessible via FOIA requests.
Notable in the ARRB's proceedings is the fact that neither CIA operations records nor Congressional records are accessible via FOIA requests.
In this regard, the ARRB was empowered in an important and unprecedented way.
Meeting resistance from then President--and former CIA chief--George H.W. Bush, the ARRB was not staffed until Clinton became President.
Judge Tunheim (of the ARRB) noted that various Federal Agencies felt that they could just wait out the ARRB until its mandated time had expired.
The board received extensions of its mandated time, although it still was not able to get all the documents released.
The extensions stretched out ARRB's tenure to four years.
A telling incident occurred when Judge Tunheim and the ARRB was parsing a CIA document they wanted released. The Agency officer present stated that there was a reason that the document could not be released, but he just "couldn't think of it."
The CIA's counsel, who was present, indicated that the ARRB could proceed as planned.
Of note is the fact that Judge Tunheim disclosed that George Joannides, who over saw Carlos Bringuier's DRE for the CIA, had served as the Agency's liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations and that the ARRB, as well as the HSCA, was misled in this regard.
As noted previously, researcher Jefferson Morley's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit directed at obliging CIA to disclose more information about Joannides was turned down by an appeals court, with Brett Kavanaugh casting a decisive vote, just before his nomination to the Supreme Court.
The CIA did release records about Lee Harvey Oswald, which had been in the province of the late James Jesus Angleton.
In our long series of interviews with Mr. DiEugenio about Destiny Betrayed, we noted that Harry Connick, who succeeded Jim Garrison as New Orleans DA, had ordered some of Garrison's files to be burned.
Many were, however one of Connick's assistants did not burn those records and kept the documents. Eventually, the ARRB got those documents.
Connick was not pleased.
Reviewing some of our synoptic discussion about Connick, from the written description for FTR#1050:
Key points of discussion and analysis about Connick:
1.--He was seemingly omnipresent in Clay Shaw's criminal trial, operating to obstruct Garrison and aid Clay Shaw and the Federal Government, for which he worked. 2.--Station WDSU--very close to Clay Shaw and the vehicle for both the Walter Sheridan disinformation hit piece on Jim Garrison and the Ed Butler/Carlos Bringuier interview of the "Communist" Oswald--was active on behalf of Connick. 3.--The Gurvich brothers, who infiltrated Garrison's investigation and networked with Clay Shaw's defense team (with William appearing as a witness in the hearing on Shaw's perjury trial), were active on behalf of Harry Connick. 4.--Clay Shaw himself, as well as DRE operative Carlos Bringuier contributed to Connick's election campaign. 5.--In his second campaign to replace Garrison, Connick was successful. 6.--After becoming New Orleans DA, he burned many of Garrison's files.
In addition to periodic appearances by other researchers and authors on the Zoom Q & A talks, Mr. Emory's Patreon site has covered the deep political history of the Philippines, the Port Chicago explosion, the lawsuit against the Biden administration to force the release of documents about the JFK assassination, possible false flag in Ukraine prior to the U.S. midterms. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. This video of Ukraine's top military medical officer discussing an order to castrate Russian males is an eye-opener. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory's 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
These programs continue our series of interviews with Jim DiEugenio about the Oliver Stone documentary JFK Revisited, for which Jim wrote the screenplay.
Yet another area in which JFK's policy outlook ran afoul of the prevailing wisdom of the Cold War was with regard to the Congo. A Belgian colony which was the victim of genocidal policies of King Leopold (estimates of the dead run as high as 8 million), the diamond and mineral-rich Congo gained a fragile independence.
In Africa, as well, Kennedy understood the struggle of emerging nations seeking freedom from colonial domination as falling outside of and transcending stereotyped Cold War dynamics.
In the Congo, the brutally administered Belgian rule had spawned a vigorous independence movement crystallized around the charismatic Patrice Lumumba. Understanding of, and sympathetic to Lumumba and the ideology and political forces embodied in him, Kennedy opposed the reactionary status quo favored by both European allies like the United Kingdom and Belgium, as well as the Eisenhower/Dulles axis in the United States.
In 1961, there was another assassination that overlapped events leading up to JFK's killing. U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold was on the same page as JFK with regard to Congolese independence from Belgium, negation of the Belgian-sponsored attempt at getting mineral-rich Katanga province to secede and was of the same mind as JFK with regard to assuring Patrice Lumumba's survival.
Hammarskjold's 1961 death in a plane crash was not the accident it was represented as being:
JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [HC]; Copyright 2022 by Jim DiEugenio; Introduction Copyright 2022 by Oliver Stone; ISBN 978-1-5107-7287-8; p. 105.
. . . . The photos of Hammarskjold show his body as the only one not burned or charred. And he had a playing card, reportedly the ace of spades, stuffed into his shirt collar above the know in the tie. Now, due to Susan Williams’ book and new evidence offered by Desmond Tutu and the Union of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, there are controversial document that indicate Allen Dulles was involved in the sabotage of the plane. The project was called Operation Celeste and was to be carried out through a secret white supremacist group called SAMIR.
Kennedy's old mentor Edmund Gullion advised JFK that Hammarskjold's death was not the accident it was represented as being.
JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [HC]; Copyright 2022 by Jim DiEugenio; Introduction Copyright 2022 by Oliver Stone; ISBN 978-1-5107-7287-8; pp. 402-403.
. . . . Suspicions were everywhere that there had been foul play. The first person on the scene was the US air attache. And there were bullets that he said were in the victims including Hammarskjold. And a close friend of President Kennedy, Edmund Gullion, sent a cable home saying: Contrary to the official explanation for this tragic incident, this was an assassination . . . .
In the Congo, LBJ reversed JFK's policy stance, and the corporate looting of the Congo resulted under General Joseph Mobutu, himself a beneficiary of the piracy.
LBJ also reversed JFK's policy toward Indonesia.
In 1955, Sukarno hosted a conference of non-aligned nations that formalized and concretized a "Third Way" between East and West. This, along with Sukarno's nationalism of some Dutch industrial properties, led the U.S. to try and overthrow Sukharno, which was attempted in 1958.
Kennedy understood Sukarno's point of view, and had planned a trip to Indonesia in 1964 to forge a more constructive relationship with Sukharno. Obviously, his murder in 1963 precluded the trip.
In 1965, Sukarno was deposed in a bloody, CIA-aided coup in which as many as a million people were killed.
Of particular interest in connection with Indonesia, is the disposition of Freeport Sulphur, a company that had enlisted the services of both Clay Shaw and David Ferrie in an effort to circumvent limitations on its operations imposed by Castro's Cuba.
It should be noted that Freeport had set its corporate sights on a very lucrative pair of mountains in Indonesia, both of which had enormous deposits of minerals, iron, copper, silver and gold in particular.
Cuba was an area of major conflict between JFK and the Powers That Be.
When JFK gave a green light to the attempted overthrow of Castro via the Bay of Pigs invasion, he had understood that the plan itself was destined to work.
In fact, Allen Dulles knew the plan as formulated would fail, and expected Kennedy to authorize the military to step in and neutralize Castro.
Realizing that he had been lied to, JFK dismissed Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell and General C.P. Cabell.
He also spoke of shattering the CIA into a thousand pieces. It is grimly, morbidly ironic that it was Kennedy's head that was shattered, and that he was "decapitated."
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, JFK rebuffed the pressure from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to invade Cuba, thereby avoiding the confrontation with Soviet tactical nuclear weapons that had been provided to Castro, unbeknownst to the U.S.
Opting for a blockade, Kennedy also established a quid-pro-quo with Nikita Khrushchev, agreeing to remove U.S. nuclear missiles from Turkey.
This was followed by a number of back-door diplomatic attempts at normalizing relations with Cuba.
At the moment that Castro heard JFK had been killed, he was meeting with French journalist Jean Daniel, who had functioned as one of those back-door diplomatic channels to Castro.
After discussion of the "dual front" 531 Lafayette Place/544 Camp Street in New Orleans run by "private investigator" Guy Banister, we review the alleged "leftist" Lee Harvey Oswald's involvement with that organization and his apparently contrived altercation with Carlos Bringuier, the anti-Castro Cuban and member of the DRE, part of the CIA-sponsored fronts operating against Castro.
As we have seen in past programs, George Joannides directed the DRE for CIA during Bringuier's tenure with the organization. Researcher Jefferson Morley filed a FOIA suit against CIA to precipitate more disclosure about Joannides, who had been the Agency's liaison with the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
Appellate Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh cast a deciding vote negating Morley's appeal.
Discussion concludes with analysis of how two visual events keyed major events in the investigation of JFK's assassination: a 1975 TV program, on which Geraldo Rivera--featuring comedian Dick Gregory and Robert Groden--aired the Zapruder film. The uproar following that led to the formation of the House Select Committee on Assassination.
The "crawl" at the end of Oliver Stone's JFK, informing the audience that the HSCA had classified key documents until 2029, generating further outrage and leading to the formation of the Assassination Records Review Board.
Continuing our discussion with Jim DiEugenio about JFK Revisited, we begin with analysis of comparison between the "stab in the back" hypothesis floated by reactionaries in Weimar Germany, denying that they lost World War I, with similar revisionism floated by the right wing concerning America's defeat in Vietnam.
Bridging discussion that will be continued in our previous program, we note a key quote from the book and documentary by Lisa Pease, noting that JFK stood apart from the Eisenhower/Dulles view that non-alignment among the former colonial territories that achieved independence was the equivalent of pro-Communist orientation.
JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass by Jim DiEugenio; Skyhorse Publishing [HC]; Copyright 2022 by Jim DiEugenio; ISBN 978-1-5107-7287-8; p. 352.
. . . . Lisa Pease: His [JFK's] approach was a radical break from his predecessor. In an oral history interview that Sukarno gave after John Kennedy's death, he said words to the effect that what made Kennedy special is that he believed non-alignment was not amoral as it had been under John Foster Dulles. I thought that was an interesting way of putting it. . . .
Exemplifying Kennedy’s understanding of how nationalist aspirations were at the forefront of struggles for national independence that were cast into the annihilating Cold War meatgrinder, we detail his trip to Indochina, where he networked with French generals, who told him that France was winning its struggle against the Viet Minh, and then with State Department professional Edmund Gullion, who opined that France was losing the war and would, in the end, lose.
Gullion also told Kennedy that, if the U.S. got involved, it would lose as well. It was Gullion’s conviction that the Vietnamese peoples’ desire for independence trumped anything the West could do.
We note that roughly 80% of the budget of the French war effort was bankrolled by the U.S. We also note that there was a contingency plan developed for a massive U.S. air support operation on behalf of the French called “Operation Vulture.” Part of that plan was the deployment of three atomic bombs for use against the Vietnamese.
For more about Kennedy’s early education about the realities of war in Southeast Asia, see—among other programs, FTR#1031.
This awareness guided JFK's Vietnam policy, in which he not only resisted tremendous pressure to commit U.S. combat troops to Vietnam, but planned a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam.
Perhaps the most important change made after JFK's assassination was Johnson's negation of Kennedy's plans to withdraw from Vietnam.
LBJ cancelled Kennedy's scheduled troop withdrawal, scheduled personnel increases and implemented the 34A program of covert operations against North Vietnam. Executed by South Vietnamese naval commandos using small, American-made patrol boats, these raids were supported by U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, which were electronically "fingerprinting" North Vietnamese radar installations.
The electronic fingerprinting of North Vietnamese radar was in anticipation of a pre-planned air war, a fundamental part of a plan by LBJ to involve the United States in a full-scale war in Southeast Asia.
Despite having promised during the 1964 campaign that no American combat units would be committed to Vietnam, within three months of the election, the first combat units were dispatched to that unfortunate nation.
In addition to noting that Hubert Humphrey, contrary to popular misconception, was an opponent of Johnson's war strategy, we note that Robert McNamara was also opposed to it, although he went along with the Commander in Chief's policies.
McNamara did commission the Pentagon study of Vietnam policy that became the Pentagon Papers.
Jim notes that Noam Chomsky and Professor Howard Zinn initially opposed discussion of how JFK's assassination changed U.S. Vietnam policy.
There is a clip in the film of a conversation between LBJ and McNamara where LBJ codifies his opposition to the JFK/McNamara policies in Vietnam.
The fledgling nation of Laos was also part of French Indochina, and Jim notes how outgoing President Eisenhower coached President-Elect Kennedy on the necessity of committing U.S. combat forces to Laos.
Again, Kennedy refused to commit U.S. ground forces and engineered a policy of neutrality for Laos.
Whereas JFK had implemented a policy affording neutrality to Laos--against the wishes of the Joint Chiefs, CIA and many of his own cabinet, LBJ scrapped the neutralist policy in favor of a CIA-implemented strategy of employing "narco-militias" such as the Hmong tribesmen as combatants against the Pathet Lao. This counter-insurgency warfare was complemented by a massive aerial bombing campaign.
JFK's policy vis a vis the war of independence being waged by the French in Algeria is of particular importance.
The program reviews Kennedy's stance on Algeria. A French colony in North Africa, Algerian independence forces waged a fierce guerrilla war in an attempt at becoming free from France. Once again, Kennedy opposed the Western consensus on Algeria, which sought to retain that property as a French possession.
The French people were divided over the Algerian struggle, and those divisions led to the fall of the Fourth Republic and the rise of Charles De Gaulle. De Gaulle granted Algeria its independence and then faced down the lethal opposition of the OAS, a group of military officers grounded in the fascist collaborationist politics of Vichy France. De Gaulle survived several assassination attempts against him and there are a number of evidentiary tributaries leading between those attempts and the forces that killed Kennedy.
Maurice Brooks Gatlin--one of Guy Banister's investigators--boasted of having transferred a large sum of money from the CIA to the OAS officers plotting against De Gaulle. In addition, Jean Souetre--a French OAS-linked assassin was in the Dallas Fort Worth area on 11/22/1963.
JFK, Algeria and operational links between JFK's assassination and OAS attempts on De Gaulle's life are discussed in FTR#1162.
Note that JFK told the French that he could not control his own intelligence services.
The program concludes with discussion of JFK's policies with regard to Africa, the Congo in particular. This topic is presented at greater length in our next interview with Jim.
A new feature of the Zoom Q & A Patreon talks concerns the periodic presentation of authors and researchers, in order that they can update us on developments in the relevant areas of political inquiry. Zoom attendees will be able to interact with them, posing questions and/or comments that are relevant to their respective areas of expertise. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. This video of Ukraine's top military medical officer discussing an order to castrate Russian males is an eye-opener. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory's 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
Beginning with discussion of the genesis of JFK Revisited, we highlight a 2013 conference in Pittsburgh, PA, at which Jim DiEugenio delivered a power point presentation about President Kennedy’s foreign policy program and the decisions that resulted from that.
Because the address drew a standing ovation from the audience, one of the attendees brought the material in the presentation to the attention of Oliver Stone, which, in turn, led to the launching of this documentary project.
Citing the routine rhetorical dismissal of the realities of the JFK assassination as a coup d’etat, journalists and politicians routinely employ the rhetorical device “Conspiracy Theory.” Meaning, in effect, a “deranged, lone nut,” the term has its applied origins in an internal CIA discussion about how to counteract Warren Commission critics!
We discuss the MSM's conflation of the Q-Anon types with researchers such as Mr. DiEugenio and Mr. Emory.
Immediately following the release of the documentary (along with the DVD’s of the material and the book JFK Revisited), author Tim Weiner penned a piece for Rolling Stone magazine in which he represented the arguments presented in the film (and in the accompanying book, by extension) as stemming from Soviet disinformation.
We note that this type of misrepresentation is in line with the widely distributed propaganda assertion scapegoating Russia and Vladimir Putin for this country’s problems and those of the world in general.
Suffice it to say that none of the material in the documentary is Soviet/Russian.
By way of demonstrating the nonsensical nature of the contention that “Soviet/Russian propaganda” underlies the arguments presented by Stone/DiEugenio, we review a key element from Jim’s magnum opus Destiny Betrayed.
When Richard Helms, head of the CIA at that time, convened a group to discuss Jim Garrison’s prosecution of Clay Shaw, Ray Rocca, the top aide to Agency Counter-intelligence chief James Angleton, opined that Garrison would obtain a conviction of Shaw. Rocca was the acknowledged expert at CIA on Garrison/JFK assassination.
Not even Tim Weiner could dismiss the CIA’s number two counterintelligence official as “a Soviet agent/propagandist.”
Attempts at portraying the JFK assassination as a Soviet conspiracy continue to this day with former CIA chief James Woolsey having authored the recently-released Operation Dragon, which uses the allegations of a former Romanian intelligence agent to pin responsibility for the assassination on the U.S.S.R.
Attempts to attribute the JFK assassination on the Soviet Union and/or Fidel Castro’s Cuba are not new.
The war in Ukraine is a direct echo of an aspect of attempting to “paint Oswald Red.”
The Nazis and fascists in control of the reins of national security power in Ukraine are directly descended from the OUN/B of Stephan Bandera, whose forces collaborated with the Third Reich during World War II.
This political and historical dynamic is set forth in a number of programs, including FTR#876.
After Oswald's return to the U.S., he was met by Spas T. Raikin, Secretary General of the American Friends of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. This despite the fact that Oswald had proposed giving military secrets to the Soviet Union.
After the death of Bandera, the OUN/B was headed by Yaroslav Stetzko, the head of the WWII Nazi collaborationist government, which implemented Hitler's ethnic cleansing programs. The OUN/B dominated the ABN, which was originally named the Committee of Subjugated Nations, when it was formed by Adolf Hitler in 1943.
Echoes of the Bandera organization and the ABN are present in the destabilization of China, as well.
LBJ successfully used the fears of a Third World War that might stem from the perception that the USSR and/or Cuba was behind the assassination in order to persuade Earl Warren, among others, that they should serve on the commission. We discussed "the painting of Oswald Red" in numerous programs, including FTR#'s 925, 926.
For much of this year, the nation’s attention has been focused on the January 6 Hearings. Noteworthy is the fact that the nation’s lawful government was overthrown on 11/22/1963.
When Biden intones that “our democracy is under fire,” he is “a day late and a dollar short.”
“Our democracy” was, literally, under fire on that Friday in Dallas, and democracy has been a mere façade in the time since.
Members of Congress have sounded grave warnings about the Secret Service and apparently “lost” communications concerning the assaults of 1/06/2021.
As these talks progress, we will highlight the Secret Service and their performance vis a vis the assassination of JFK. Congress, too, is “a day late and a dollar short.”
As will be detailed later in this series, both Presidents Trump and Biden delayed release of the ARRB records at the designated junctures.
Another interesting "Team Trump" link to the assassination investigation concerns Jefferson Morley's FOIA suit to learn more about George Joannides, who managed the Carlos Bringuier-linked DRE for the CIA.
Morley's appeal was turned down by an appeals court, with Brett Kavanaugh casting the deciding voter, just before decamping for his hearings on his qualifications for the Supreme Court.
One of JFK’s stances that put him greatly at odds concerning national security and foreign policy was his view toward, and actions in conjunction with, the former Soviet Union.
In that regard, we note: Kennedy’s authorization of the atmospheric test ban treaty, the first substantive arms limitation agreement with the former Soviet Union—bitterly opposed by key members of the national security establishment; JFK’s refusal to invade Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which, combined with his refusal to utilize the military to assist the Bay of Pigs invasion, cemented the view among key national security players that he was a traitor/Communist; Kennedy’s June 1963 speech at American University, in which he recognized the USSR’s enormous contribution toward the defeat of Nazi Germany and called for a new relationship with the USSR; JFK’s proposal that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. undertake joint space exploration.
Bridging discussion that will be continued in our next programs, we note a key quote from the book and documentary by Lisa Pease, noting that JFK stood apart from the Eisenhower/Dulles view that non-alignment among the former colonial territories that achieved independence was the equivalent of pro-Communist orientation.

Mr. Emory is doing three, one-hour plus Patreon talks, accompanied by machine-generated transcripts. In the most recent talks, he details the strategic situation in Ukraine, including the sabotage of the pipelines and the referenda in Ukraine's Eastern provinces, as well as detailing the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A new schedule features once-a-week talks analyzing a key aspect of contemporary affairs. On October 2, we discussed mind control, a vitally important and overlooked dynamic. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. This video of Ukraine's top military medical officer discussing an order to castrate Russian males is an eye-opener. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory's 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
Exploring a deep political, historical and economic dynamic, this program sets forth fundamental aspects of what the late, brilliant Sterling and Peggy Seagrave called “The Marcos Dynasty.”
This program excerpts two of their excellent books--which Mr. Emory emphatically recommends. There are links provided with each text excerpt to facilitate the acquisition of the books, which, again, Mr. Emory emphatically recommends.
Recently elected president of the Philippines (with close relatives of former president Duterte as aides), Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.—nicknamed Bong-Bong—has networked with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and renewed an invigorated, anti-China alliance.
Essential for an understanding of the Bong-Bong/Blinken liaison is awareness of Marcos, Jr.’s participation in his dictator father’s phenomenally lucrative recoveries of Golden Lily war gold secreted in the Philippines during World War II.
This subject is covered in the landmark text Gold Warriors by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave.
(FTR #'s 427, 428, 446, 451, 501, 688, 689, 1106, 1107 & 1108 deal with the subject material of that consummately important book.)
Ferdinand, Sr.’s rise was aided by his “godfather,” Judge Chua, who was his biological father in an out-of-wedlock liaison. This was relatively common in the Philippines and not stigmatized as in many other societies.
Judge Chua’s position in the Chua family gave him great influence. In turn, the clan associations of Chinese in the Philippines were fundamental to the professional and social undertakings of members of that community.
Of great significance is the strong affiliation of the clans with the Kuomintang of Chiang Kai-shek, imparting a fascist ideological orientation to them. This was a major deep political influence on Ferdinand Marcos, Sr., the out-of-wedlock son of the influential Judge Chua.
Next, we present the deep political background that shaped Ferdinand Marcos and an exploration of the manner in which economic class considerations shaped alliances during the Japanese fascist occupation of the Philippines and its aftermath.
In FTR#'s 905, 970, among other programs, we explored how the U.S. rehabilitated and resuscitated the Japanese fascist infrastructure from that nation’s World War II imperial state.
We have spoken of prominent Japanese fascists Sasakawa Ryoichi and Kodama Yoshio in numerous programs.
Combined with Chiang Kai-shek’s reactionary stance, those rehabilitated Japanese fascists constituted the critical foundation of America’s Cold War in Asia.
The MacArthur team in the Philippines during the Cold War was culled from the collaborationist milieu who worked with the Japanese during the occupation. This included the head of the Japanese occupation government, Jose Laurel, as well as Benigno Aquino Sr. and Manuel Roxas.
Following the ouster of Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. the Philippine government was headed by Cory Aquino, the widow of slain CIA agent Benigno Aquino, Jr. and Salvador Laurel, the son of Jose Laurel.
Collaborator Manuel Roxas was MacArthur’s “favorite son” to manage postwar Philippine government.
Updating coverage of the Ukraine war, the title of this series comes from the late, brilliant political comedian Mort Sahl's 1976 autobiography Heartland. Mort Sahl was one of Jim Garrison's investigators in the New Orleans DA's investigation of the assassination of JFK.
The program begins with discussion of a powerful economic motive for baiting Russia into the Ukraine war--creating a pretext for obliging Europe and Germany to forego use of the Nordstream 2 pipeline and sever the EU from consumption of Russian natural gas.
" . . . . The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: 'If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.' The problem is to create a suitably offensive incident and depict Russia as the aggressor. . . ."
In FTR#1245, we detailed Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud's analysis of Ukraine's impending assault on the ethnically and linguistically Russian population of Eastern Ukraine and Biden's signing off on that operation in order to realize American and Western European goals.
Next, we present an oblique, possibly very significant element. A Foreign Policy article discussing a forbearer of EU president Ursula Von Der Leyen's who was a key Third Reich official in Galicia (Western Ukraine).
It appears that Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen was a member of the prominent silk merchant family into which Ursula married.
Conventional family trees make no mention of him: " . . . . Joachim Freiherr von der Leyen ( September 28, 1897 in Haus Meer , Büderich (Meerbusch) ; † 1945 in Dresden ) was a German lawyer and administrative official who worked as a district administrator in the occupied countries of Czechoslovakia and Poland during the National Socialist period and as a district captain of the district of Galicia was involved in the organization of the Holocaust. Von der Leyen comes from the von der Leyen family of silk barons in Krefeld. . . ."
Next, we highlight the ongoing lionization of Ukrainian Nazi and fascist elements in the mainstream U.S. press.
A long spread in the Sunday New York Times beatifies the Nazi Azov Regiment, the chief Ukrainian unit defending the Azovstal steel works.
Another NYT piece presents a heroic portrayal of a Ukrainian saboteur from the Nazi/fascist Azov and Right Sector units: " . . . . Before the war, Svarog occasionally joined weekend training with Right Sector and National Corps, a branch of the Azov movement, both of which are aligned with paramilitary units in Ukraine. . . ."
The elevation of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists by the U.S. is exemplified by a Pentagon-sponsored athletic competition: " . . . .This August, during the Department of Defense’s annual Warrior Games at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarded a Ukrainian military veteran named Ihor Halushka the 'Heart of the Team' award for 'inspiring his team' with his 'personal example.' Halushka happens to have been a member of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which has been armed by the US and integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard. . . . Perhaps the most famous Ukrainian Warrior Games participant is Yulia Palevska, who the New York Times has dubbed 'a symbol of Ukrainian bravery and self-sacrifice.'. . . . Yulia Palevska and Ihor Halushka were members of the fascist Right Sector organization and Azov Battalion, respectively. . . ."
Next, we further develop Ukraine’s enemies/death list, noting the experience of former Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
Joining Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters and Henry Kissinger on the list, several of the members of which have been murdered, Ritter notes the presence of OUN/B youth camps in this country, possible breeding grounds for assassins.
Furthermore, Ritter correctly locates those OUN/B youth camps in the political continuum stretching from the Third Reich, through the Cold War, up to today—a continuum inextricably linked with the Gehlen organization.
“ . . . . I had to drive past Ellenville, a sleepy little town that is home to a camp belonging to the Ukrainian American Youth Association which, every summer, coordinates with the Organization for the Defense of Four Freedoms of Ukraine to hold a ‘Heroes’ Holiday’ honoring veteran of the Ukrainian People’s Army and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. . . . That a monument to men responsible for genocidal mass murder and who, in the case of two of them (Shukhevych and Bandera) openly collaborated with Nazi Germany, could be erected in the United States is disturbing. [NB—Konovalets cooperated with the Third Reich as well, D.E.] That every year Ukrainian-American adherents of the odious ideology of Stepan Bandera gather to celebrate his legacy at a “children’s camp” where the youth are arrayed in brown uniforms that make them look like what they, in fact, are — ideological storm troopers for a hateful neo-Nazi ideology that promotes the racial superiority of the Ukrainian people, is a national abomination. . . . Bandera has been elevated to the status of a national hero in Ukraine, and his birthday is considered a national holiday. . . . The legacy of Stepan Bandera is at the very heart of what passes for Ukrainian nationalism today. It dominates the political arena inside Ukraine, where all competing political ideology and affiliations have been outlawed by President Volodymyr Zelensky. . . .”
In FTR #907, we noted the profound presence of the Ukrainian fascists in the United States, as well as their operational connections to the Third Reich. In FTR #1072, we noted the Ukrainian youth cadre in the U.S., and its affiliation with the OUN/B milieu in Ukraine.
Our next item out these connections, noting:
-
The CYM organization and its presence in the U.S.
-
The decisive involvement of post-World War II emigres in the growth of that movement.
-
CYM's close affiliation with the OUN/B.
-
CYM's uniformed, military orientation: " . . . . Among the most popular activities are military-style games where campers are divided into two teams that have to dodge or capture their opponents by moving stealthily and organizing ambushes. . . . ."
Further solidifying the continuity between the Third Reich, the Gehlen Org and the GOP, we note that, while it was the BND (the intelligence service of the Federal Republic) the "Org" was financing the Eastern European fascist groups that encompassed the CYM camps in the U.S.
Our programs conclude with excerpts of another interview with Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud.
For the edification of the reader, we present the full text of the interview here.
In the program, we note Ukraine’s “mirror imaging” of the political and military aspects of the war, representing Ukrainian atrocities and war crimes as Russian.
In turn, Western media slavishly report the Ukrainian propaganda as fact, a dynamic Mr. Emory has cited as cementing the Nazification of America, begun during the closing stages of World War II.
Baud cites Ukrainian operations behind Russian lines: “ . . . . This is a terrorist campaign targeting pro-Russian Ukrainian personalities and officials. It follows major changes in the leadership of the SBU, in Kiev, and in the regions, including Lvov, Ternopol since July. It is probably in the context of this same campaign that Darya Dugina was assassinated on August 21. The objective of this new campaign could be to convey the illusion that there is an ongoing resistance in the areas taken by the Russians and thus revive Western aid, which is starting to fatigue. These sabotage activities do not really have an operational impact and seem more related to a psychological operation. It may be that these are actions like the one on Snake Island at the beginning of May, intended to demonstrate to the international public that Ukraine is acting. What the incidents in Crimea indirectly show is that the popular resistance claimed by the West in February does not exist. . . .”
Colonel Baud also highlights Ukraine’s shelling of the Zaporihizia Nuclear Power Plant: “ . . . . By bombing the plant, Ukraine could also be trying to pressure the West to intervene in the conflict, under the pretext that Russia is seeking to disconnect the plant from the Ukrainian power grid before the fall. This suicidal behavior—as stated by UN Secretary General António Guterres—would be in line with the war waged by Ukraine since 2014. There is strong evidence that the attacks on Energodar are Ukrainian. The fragments of projectiles fired at the site from the other side of the Dnieper are of Western origin. It seems that they come from British BRIMSTONE missiles, which are precision missiles, whose use is monitored by the British. Apparently, the West is aware of the Ukrainian attacks on the ZNPP. This might explain why Ukraine is not very supportive of an international commission of inquiry and why Western countries are putting unrealistic conditions for sending investigators from the IAEA, an agency that has not shown much integrity so far. . . .”
Colonel Baud sums up the role of terror central to the Nazified Ukrainian regime, parroted by Western MSM: “ . . . . Ukrainian crimes were beginning to be revealed on social networks, and on 27 March Zelensky feared that this would jeopardize Western support. This was followed—rather opportunely—by the Bucha massacre on 3 April, the circumstances of which remain unclear. Britain, which then had the chairmanship of the UN Security Council, refused three times the Russian request to set up an international commission of enquiry into the crimes of Bucha. Ukrainian socialist MP Ilya Kiva revealed on Telegram that the Bucha tragedy was planned by the British MI6 special services and implemented by the SBU. The fundamental problem is that the Ukrainians have replaced the ‘operational art’ with brutality. . . .”

This program continues discussion and analysis of the consortium of EcoHealth Analysis, Metabiota, In-Q-Tel and Munich Re--an association inextricably linked with biological warfare and generation of the Covid-19 pandemic.
First, we review the fact that Metabiota--which uses AI and social media scraping (among other tools) to gauge the "fear factor" involved with pandemic readiness (and the associated pandemic insurance policies)--was gauging the fear factor for monkey pox, which had manifested some human infections in the Congo as "low."
This was in early 2020. Now, the disease is on the "front burner," so to speak. People are afraid of the "new pandemic."
Despite only 306 documented cases in the U.S. (as of 6/28/2022), hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses are being readied for human use.
The disease bears an epidemiological similarity to AIDS: an African monkey virus infecting gay males with multiple sex partners.
In addition, we review an excerpting of an op-ed column by Scott Gottlieb, the head of the FDA under Trump, a member of the conservative American Enterprise Institute and a member of the board of directors of Pfizer.
He notes that the new agency created by Biden to deal with monkeypox and other emerging infections was formerly: " . . . . an office inside the Department of Health and Human Services that is charged with coordinating the federal response to bioterrorism . . . ."
Media coverage of the outbreak characterizes monkeypox as a disease afflicting primarily gay males with multiple sex partners--similar to the epidemiology of the early AIDS outbreak.
Much of the broadcast consists of information indicating the possibility of airborne transmission of monkeypox. NB: Mr. Emory cannot comment definitely on this possibility--he presents this analysis to note the possibility.
We conclude that children have contracted the disease, without engaging in the behavior associated with the spread of monkeypox, although this is apparently quite rare.
NB: The information in this program and accompanying description is largely a recap of material presented in the first five programs in this series. It is repeated and presented in a different order in the audio file.
This repetition is due to: A) the highly technical nature of much of the discussion of the viral composition of SARS CoV-2 and related viruses and B) the tremendous significance of this information.
Continuing analysis of a frightening consortium of institutions apparently linked to the deliberate genesis of Covid-19, this program reiterates elements of analysis from FTR#'s 1254 & 1255, presenting the information in a different sequence for increased understanding and retention.
Those institutions are: EcoHealth Alliance, Metabiota, In-Q-Tel and Munich Reinsurance.
Taken together, a number of points of information highlighted here go a long way to proving the legal concept of "consciousness of guilt," the guilt being intent to create the pandemic and knowledge that such a thing was done.
(The information presented here should be taken in conjunction with information presented in--among other programs--FTR#'s 1151, 1152 and 1153. In turn, those programs are developments of documentation presented in our many programs about Covid-19.)
Of paramount importance in evaluating the material here and in the other broadcasts about Covid-19 is the development of synthetic biology and the manner in which it enables biological warfare: “ . . . Advances in the area mean that scientists now have the capability to recreate dangerous viruses from scratch; make harmful bacteria more deadly; and modify common microbes so that they churn out lethal toxins once they enter the body. . . In the report, the scientists describe how synthetic biology, which gives researchers precision tools to manipulate living organisms, ‘enhances and expands’ opportunities to create bioweapons. . . . Today, the genetic code of almost any mammalian virus can be found online and synthesised. ‘The technology to do this is available now,’ said [Michael] Imperiale. “It requires some expertise, but it’s something that’s relatively easy to do, and that is why it tops the list. . . ."
Going a long way toward proving consciousness of guilt are:
1.--The behavior of Peter Daszak and colleagues in "gaming" the Lancet statement on the "natural" origin of the coronavirus (Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance--funded and advised by the national security establishment--is implicated in the creation of the SARS COV-2.) 2.--The reaction of government officials to Trump administration officials into the origins of the virus, advising would be investigators that such inquiries would open a "can of worms," or "a Pandora's Box" because it would should light on U.S. funding of the projects. 3.--Metabiota--partnered with EcoHealth Alliance--was networked with In-Q-Tel (the intelligence community's venture capital arm) and Munich Re to provide pandemic insurance. Their 2018 business model directly foreshadowed the pandemic. 4.--Many aspects of the SARS COV-2 virus, including its curious FCS site and institutionalized obfuscation of aspects of the pandemic it caused suggest deliberate cover-up. Why would the NIH redact 290 pages of a document requested by an FOIA suit!! Why were sequences of bat coronavirus genomes removed from public view?
It’s remarkable just how damning our beginning article is.
Co-author of the letter to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and former chairman of the Lancet's commission on the origins of the pandemic, Sachs is someone in a position to bring real public attention to this topic, if he chooses to do so. The authors make a compelling case for an independent investigation, and who would be in a better position than Sachs to make this case publicly after he disbanded his Lancet Commission over these kinds of concerns? That’s all part of what is going to make this a story to watch.
This article has some remarkable points of information to be considered and it is altogether welcome and important that someone of Dr. Sachs' high professional profile and prestige has come forward:
1.--“ . . . . The NIH could say more about the possible role of its grantees in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, yet the agency has failed to reveal to the public the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a research-associated event, even though several researchers raised that concern on February 1, 2020, in a phone conversation that was documented by email (5). Those emails were released to the public only through FOIA, and they suggest that the NIH leadership took an early and active role in promoting the ‘zoonotic hypothesis’ and the rejection of the laboratory-associated hypothesis. . . .” 2.--“ . . . . The NIH has resisted the release of important evidence, such as the grant proposals and project reports of EHA, and has continued to redact materials released under FOIA, including a remarkable 290-page redaction in a recent FOIA release. . . .” 3.--“ . . . . Acting NIH Director Lawrence Tabak testified before Congress that several such sequences in a US database were removed from public view. . . .” 4.--“ . . . . Special concerns surround the presence of an unusual furin cleavage site (FCS) in SARS-CoV-2 (10) that augments the pathogenicity and transmissibility of the virus relative to related viruses like SARS-CoV-1 (11, 12). SARS-CoV-2 is, to date, the only identified member of the subgenus sarbecovirus that contains an FCS, although these are present in other coronaviruses (13, 14). A portion of the sequence of the spike protein of some of these viruses is illustrated in the alignment shown in Fig. 1, illustrating the unusual nature of the FCS and its apparent insertion in SARS-CoV-2 (15).From the first weeks after the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2 became available, researchers have commented on the unexpected presence of the FCS within SARS-CoV-2—the implication being that SARS-CoV-2 might be a product of laboratory manipulation. In a review piece arguing against this possibility, it was asserted that the amino acid sequence of the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 is an unusual, nonstandard sequence for an FCS and that nobody in a laboratory would design such a novel FCS (13). . . .” 5.--“ . . . . In fact, the assertion that the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 has an unusual, nonstandard amino acid sequence is false. . . . (The one non-human non-great ape species with the same sequence is Pipistrellus kuhlii, a bat species found in Europe and Western Asia; other bat species, including Rhinolophus ferrumequinem, have a different FCS sequence in ENaC a [RKAR’SAAS]). . . .” 5.--“ . . . . We do know that the insertion of such FCS sequences into SARS-like viruses was a specific goal of work proposed by the EHA-WIV-UNC partnership within a 2018 grant proposal (“DEFUSE”) that was submitted to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (25).The 2018 proposal to DARPA was not funded, but we do not know whether some of the proposed work was subsequently carried out in 2018 or 2019, perhaps using another source of funding. . . .” 6.--“ . . . . We also know that that this research team would be familiar with several previous experiments involving the successful insertion of an FCS sequence into SARS-CoV-1 (26) and other coronaviruses, and they had a lot of experience in construction of chimeric SARS-like viruses (27–29). In addition, the research team would also have some familiarity with the FCS sequence and the FCS-dependent activation mechanism of human ENaC (19), which was extensively characterized at UNC (17, 18).For a research team assessing the pandemic potential of SARS-related coronaviruses, the FCS of human ENaC—an FCS known to be efficiently cleaved by host furin present in the target location (epithelial cells) of an important target organ (lung), of the target organism (human)—might be a rational, if not obvious, choice of FCS to introduce into a virus to alter its infectivity, in line with other work performed previously. . . .” 7.--“ . . . . Of course, the molecular mimicry of ENaC within the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein might be a mere coincidence, although one with a very low probability. The exact FCS sequence present in SARS-CoV-2 has recently been introduced into the spike protein of SARS-CoV-1 in the laboratory, in an elegant series of experiments (12, 30), with predictable consequences in terms of enhanced viral transmissibility and pathogenicity. Obviously, the creation of such SARS-1/2 “chimeras” is an area of some concern for those responsible for present and future regulation of this area of biology. . . .” 8.--“ . . . . Information now held by the research team headed by EHA (7), as well as the communications of that research team with US research funding agencies, including NIH, USAID, DARPA, DTRA, and the Department of Homeland Security, could shed considerable light on the experiments undertaken by the US-funded research team and on the possible relationship, if any, between those experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. . . .”
Recapping information from our "Oswald Institute of Virology" series, we note that Trump officials who were looking to tout the Chinese "lab-leak" hypothesis were told to avoid the topic, lest it create problems for the U.S.
Note, as well, that both Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric, associated with EcoHealth Alliance, were engaged in dubious maneuvering to eclipse attention on the possible U.S. sponsorship of the SARS COV-2 gain-of-function manipulations.
1.--" . . . . It soon emerged, based on emails obtained by a Freedom of Information group called U.S. Right to Know, that Daszak had not only signed but organized the influential Lancet statement, with the intention of concealing his role and creating the impression of scientific unanimity. . . ." 2.--" . . . . In one State Department meeting, officials seeking to demand transparency from the Chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to U.S. government funding of it. . . . because it would 'open a can of worms’ if it continued.'. . ." 3.--" . . . . As the group probed the lab-leak scenario, among other possibilities, its members were repeatedly advised not to open a 'Pandora’s box,' said four former State Department officials interviewed by Vanity Fair. The admonitions 'smelled like a cover-up,' said Thomas DiNanno . . . ."
Next, the program reviews an excerpting of a "Wired" Magazine article about the Metabiota/Munich Reinsurance project.
Bear in mind that In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA and the intelligence community, is greasing the wheels of this project with financing.
We highlight two key points of information:
1.--The business success of the pandemic insurance would necessarily incorporate analysis of the "fear factor" of potential pandemic pathogens: " . . . . As sophisticated as Metabiota’s system was, however, it would need to be even more refined to incorporate into an insurance policy. The model would need to capture something much more difficult to quantify than historical deaths and medical stockpiles: fear. The economic consequences of a scourge, the historical data showed, were as much a result of society’s response as they were to the virus itself. . . . The Sentiment Index was built to be, as Oppenheim put it, 'a catalog of dread.' For any given pathogen, it could spit out a score from 0 to 100 according to how frightening the public would find it. . . . Madhav and her team, along with Wolfe and Oppenheim, also researched the broader economic consequences of disease outbreaks, measured in the 'cost per death prevented' incurred by societal interventions. 'Measures that decreased person-to-person contact, including social distancing, quarantine, and school closures, had the greatest cost per death prevented, most likely because of the amount of economic disruption caused by those measures,' they wrote in a 2018 paper. . . ." 2.--More sinister, still, is the fact that Metabiota had analyzed the scenario of a novel coronavirus pandemic two years before it happened. This appears to be the 2018 paper referred to above. Do not fail to note that, at the time that Metabiota was running this scenario, they were partnered with EcoHealth Alliance, which was using Pentagon and USAID money to research and perform gain-of-function on these types of coronaviruses!! " . . . . As the human and economic devastation multiplied in tandem across the globe, Metabiota’s employees suddenly found themselves living inside their own model’s projections. Just two years earlier, the company had run a large set of scenarios forecasting the consequences of a novel coronavirus spreading around the globe. . . ."
Pivoting to a another interesting, emerging disease that was a point of interest for Metabiota, we open a discussion of monkey pox, a disease that will be more completely discussed in the next program.
Metabiota was evaluating monkeypox in late 2019: " . . . . it rated this risk for the monkeypox virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (where there have been reported cases of that virus) as 'medium.' . . ."
We conclude this program with an excerpting of an op-ed column by Scott Gottlieb, the head of the FDA under Trump, a member of the conservative American Enterprise Institute and a member of the board of directors of Pfizer.
He notes that the new agency created by Biden to deal with monkeypox and other emerging infections was formerly: " . . . . an office inside the Department of Health and Human Services that is charged with coordinating the federal response to bioterrorism . . . ."
In the latest Patreon talks--three, one-hour presentations per week--Mr. Emory compares the military inculcation of Japanese youth in the pre-World War II period with the submersion of American boys in a cognitive military culture presented by movies, TV, video-games and the Internet.

This program further develops the consortium of EcoHealth Alliance, Metabiota, In-Q-Tel and Munich Reinsurance.
Taken together, a number of points of information highlighted here go a long way to proving the legal concept of "consciousness of guilt," the guilt being intent to create the pandemic and knowledge that such a thing was done.

We begin by noting the OUN/B affiliation of Ulana Suprun, who was the Ukrainian Minister of Health from 2016 until2019, placing her very much "in the mix" with Andrew C. Weber and the Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance and Munich Re consortium.
" . . . . Suprun is the husband of the Ukrainian American Ulana Suprun, a prominent Bandera enthusiast with ties to the Ukrainian far-right who served as the Healthcare Minister of Ukraine from July 2016 through August 2019. . . ."
We can confidently conclude that Metabiota founder NathanWolfe was in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit.
We include a link to an excellent Covert Action Magazine article about Epstein and his myriad intelligence connections for the convenience of the listener and requisite background information.
Recapping information from our "Oswald Institute of Virology" series, we note that Trump officials who were looking to tout the Chinese "lab-leak" hypothesis were told to avoid the topic, lest it create problems for the U.S.
Note, as well, that both Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric, associated with EcoHealth Alliance, were engaged in dubious maneuvering to eclipse attention on the possible U.S. sponsorship of the SARS COV-2 gain-of-function manipulations.

In our exhaustive series on the Covid-19 pandemic, we have presented overwhelming evidence that the SARS CoV-2 was synthesized in a U.S. lab.
Having chaired a Lancet commission to investigate the origins of SARS CoV-2, Dr. Jeffrey Sachs is "pretty convinced" that the virus came from a U.S. laboratory.
He opines that it was a "blunder."
Although we believe Covid-19 was a biological warfare attack, we are greatly encouraged that someone of Sachs' stature has come forward in this regard.
In many past programs, we have highlighted institutions implicated in the apparent "bio-skullduggery" surrounding the U.S. biological warfare gambit involving what Mr. Emory has termed "The Oswald Institute of Virology." This is discussed in: FTR#'s 1157-1159, 1170, 1183 through 1193, and 1215.
The essence of the "Oswald Institute of Virology" gambit concerns the DTRA and Pentagon funding of bat-borne coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, much of it through Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance. Once the research was complete, it resulted in publication which included the genome of the bat viruses being researched. Using technology discussed above (in the Guardian article), the viruses were then synthesized from scratch and population groups were vectored with the same viral strains being researched by the WIV.
Dr. Sachs' ruminations about a U.S. biological laboratory origin of SARS-CoV-2 are fleshed out in an interview--featured on his website--with the Tehran Times.
Note that he continues to opine that the release was a "blunder" and that it did not result from biological warfare research. Again, this is modified limited hangout.
Next, the program reviews an excerpting of a Wired Magazine article about the Metabiota/Munich Reinsurance project.
Bear in mind that In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA and the intelligence community, is greasing the wheels of this project with financing.

Despite our deep reservations about Jeffrey Sachs—expressed in numerous programs and posts--it’s remarkable just how damning our concluding article is.

The authors make a compelling case for an independent investigation, and who would be in a better position than Sachs to make this case publicly after he disbanded his Lancet Commission over these kinds of concerns?

If our suspicions about Sachs are well-founded, he might be in position to control the results that do emerge.
Nonetheless, this article has some remarkable points of information to be considered and it is altogether welcome and important that someone of Dr. Sachs' high professional profile and prestige has come forward:
1.--“ . . . . Much of the work on SARS-like CoVs performed in Wuhan was part of an active and highly collaborative US–China scientific research program funded by the US Government (NIH, Defense Threat Reduction Agency [DTRA—Pentagon, D.E.], and US Agency for International Development [USAID]—State Department, frequent cover for CIA, D.E.), coordinated by researchers at EcoHealth Alliance (EHA—Chief funders are Pentagon, USAID, science and policy advisor is David Franz, former commanding officer of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Infectious Disease—D.E.), but involving researchers at several other US institutions. For this reason, it is important that US institutions be transparent about any knowledge of the detailed activities that were underway in Wuhan and in the United States. The evidence may also suggest that research institutions in other countries were involved, and those too should be asked to submit relevant information (e.g., with respect to unpublished sequences). . . .” 2.--“ . . . . as outlined below, much could be learned by investigating US-supported and US-based work that was underway in collaboration with Wuhan-based institutions, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), China. It is still not clear whether the IC investigated these US-supported and US-based activities. If it did, it has yet to make any of its findings available to the US scientific community for independent and transparent analysis and assessment. If, on the other hand, the IC [Intelligence Community] did not investigate these US-supported and US-based activities, then it has fallen far short of conducting a comprehensive investigation. . . .” 3.--“ . . . . Participating US institutions include the EHA, the University of North Carolina (UNC), the University of California at Davis (UCD), the NIH, and the USAID.Under a series of NIH grants and USAID contracts, EHA coordinated the collection of SARS-like bat CoVs from the field in southwest China and southeast Asia, the sequencing of these viruses, the archiving of these sequences (involving UCD), and the analysis and manipulation of these viruses (notably at UNC). A broad spectrum of coronavirus research work was done not only in Wuhan (including groups at Wuhan University and the Wuhan CDC, as well as WIV) but also in the United States. The exact details of the fieldwork and laboratory work of the EHA-WIV-UNC partnership, and the engagement of other institutions in the United States and China, has not been disclosed for independent analysis. The precise nature of the experiments that were conducted, including the full array of viruses collected from the field and the subsequent sequencing and manipulation of those viruses, remains unknown. . . .” 4.--“ . . . . The NIH could say more about the possible role of its grantees in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, yet the agency has failed to reveal to the public the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 emerged from a research-associated event, even though several researchers raised that concern on February 1, 2020, in a phone conversation that was documented by email (5).

In fact, the assertion that the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 has an unusual, nonstandard amino acid sequence is false. The amino acid sequence of the FCS in SARS-CoV-2 also exists in the human ENaC a subunit (16), where it is known to be functional and has been extensively studied (17, 18). The FCS of human ENaC a has the amino acid sequence RRAR’SVAS ( 2), an eight–amino-acid sequence that is perfectly identical with the FCS of SARS-CoV-2 (16).ENaC is an epithelial sodium channel, expressed on the apical surface of epithelial cells in the kidney, colon, and airways (19, 20), that plays a critical role in controlling fluid exchange. The ENaC a subunit has a functional FCS (17, 18) that is essential for ion channel function (19) and has been characterized in a variety of species. The FCS sequence of human ENaC a (20) is identical in chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, and gorilla (SI Appendix , Fig. 1), but diverges in all other species, even primates, except one. (The one non-human non-great ape species with the same sequence is Pipistrellus kuhlii, a bat species found in Europe and Western Asia; other bat species, including Rhinolophus ferrumequinem, have a different FCS sequence in ENaC a [RKAR’SAAS]). . . .” 9.--“ . . . . One consequence of this “molecular mimicry” between the FCS of SARS CoV-2 spike and the FCS of human ENaC is competition for host furin in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus, where the SARS-CoV-2 spike is processed. This results in a decrease in human ENaC expression (21). A decrease in human ENaC expression compromises airway function and has been implicated as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 (22). Another consequence of this astonishing molecular mimicry is evidenced by apparent cross-reactivity with human ENaC of antibodies from COVID-19 patients, with the highest levels of cross-reacting antibodies directed against this epitope being associated with most severe disease (23). [Auto-immune reaction, possibly overlapping mRNA vaccines—D.E.]. . . .” 10.--“ . . . . We do know that the insertion of such FCS sequences into SARS-like viruses was a specific goal of work proposed by the EHA-WIV-UNC partnership within a 2018 grant proposal (“DEFUSE”) that was submitted to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (25).The 2018 proposal to DARPA was not funded, but we do not know whether some of the proposed work was subsequently carried out in 2018 or 2019, perhaps using another source of funding. . . .” 11.--“ . . . . We also know that that this research team would be familiar with several previous experiments involving the successful insertion of an FCS sequence into SARS-CoV-1 (26) and other coronaviruses, and they had a lot of experience in construction of chimeric SARS-like viruses (27–29). In addition, the research team would also have some familiarity with the FCS sequence and the FCS-dependent activation mechanism of human ENaC (19), which was extensively characterized at UNC (17, 18).For a research team assessing the pandemic potential of SARS-related coronaviruses, the FCS of human ENaC—an FCS known to be efficiently cleaved by host furin present in the target location (epithelial cells) of an important target organ (lung), of the target organism (human)—might be a rational, if not obvious, choice of FCS to introduce into a virus to alter its infectivity, in line with other work performed previously. . . .” 12.--“ . . . . Of course, the molecular mimicry of ENaC within the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein might be a mere coincidence, although one with a very low probability. The exact FCS sequence present in SARS-CoV-2 has recently been introduced into the spike protein of SARS-CoV-1 in the laboratory, in an elegant series of experiments (12, 30), with predictable consequences in terms of enhanced viral transmissibility and pathogenicity. Obviously, the creation of such SARS-1/2 “chimeras” is an area of some concern for those responsible for present and future regulation of this area of biology. . . .” 13.--“ . . . . Information now held by the research team headed by EHA (7), as well as the communications of that research team with US research funding agencies, including NIH, USAID, DARPA, DTRA, and the Department of Homeland Security, could shed considerable light on the experiments undertaken by the US-funded research team and on the possible relationship, if any, between those experiments and the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. . . .”
In the latest Patreon talks (three, one-hour talks peer week), we highlight the OUN/B affiliations of Ulana Suprun, Ukraine's former Health Minister, and her possible relationship with the Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance, In-Q-Tel and Munich Re concatenation. In addition, we discuss the timing of Ivana Trump's apparently accidental death, as well as the institutionalization of revisionist Japanese World War II history and that nation's effect on U.S. biological warfare development. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24. This video of Ukraine's top military medical officer discussing an order to castrate Russian males is an eye-opener. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE. Mr. Emory emphatically recommends that listeners/readers get the 32GB flash drive containing all of Mr. Emory's 43 years on the air, plus a library of old anti-fascist books on easy-to-download PDF files.
This program continues analysis of the "Pandemics, Inc." consortium of Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance, In-Q-Tel and Munich Re.
We note that Andrew C. Weber--a key executive of Metabiota--had an interesting background: " . . . . He joined Metabiota in February 2016 as Head of Global Partnerships in the Government Business Unit. . . . He served until October 2014 as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical & Biological Defense Programs. . . ."
Weber was in that post at Metabiota when, in October of 2016, Metabiota initiated its projects in Ukraine.
Next, the program reviews an excerpting of a Wired Magazine article about the Metabiota/Munich Reinsurance project.
Bear in mind that In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA and the intelligence community, is greasing the wheels of this project with financing.
We highlight two key points of information:
1.--The business success of the pandemic insurance would necessarily incorporate analysis of the "fear factor" of potential pandemic pathogens: " . . . . As sophisticated as Metabiota’s system was, however, it would need to be even more refined to incorporate into an insurance policy. The model would need to capture something much more difficult to quantify than historical deaths and medical stockpiles: fear. The economic consequences of a scourge, the historical data showed, were as much a result of society’s response as they were to the virus itself. . . . The Sentiment Index was built to be, as Oppenheim put it, 'a catalog of dread.' For any given pathogen, it could spit out a score from 0 to 100 according to how frightening the public would find it. . . . Madhav and her team, along with Wolfe and Oppenheim, also researched the broader economic consequences of disease outbreaks, measured in the 'cost per death prevented' incurred by societal interventions. 'Measures that decreased person-to-person contact, including social distancing, quarantine, and school closures, had the greatest cost per death prevented, most likely because of the amount of economic disruption caused by those measures,' they wrote in a 2018 paper. . . ." 2.--More sinister, still, is the fact that Metabiota had analyzed the scenario of a novel coronavirus pandemic two years before it happened. This appears to be the 2018 paper referred to above. Do not fail to note that, at the time that Metabiota was running this scenario, they were partnered with EcoHealth Alliance, which was using Pentagon and USAID money to research and perform gain-of-function on these types of coronaviruses!! " . . . . As the human and economic devastation multiplied in tandem across the globe, Metabiota’s employees suddenly found themselves living inside their own model’s projections. Just two years earlier, the company had run a large set of scenarios forecasting the consequences of a novel coronavirus spreading around the globe. . . ."
Next, we review aspects of important article presents depth on a number of overlapping considerations about biological warfare, the Covid "op" and the Ukraine war.
Of particular importance, here, is H5N1's potential significance of the In-Q-Tel, Metabiota, Munich Re pandemic insurance consortium.
In addition to the H5N1's real or potential impact on businesses involved with one aspect or another of commercial poultry, the possibility that a weaponized/zoonotic mutation of the virus could spawn a devastating human pandemic could be a major driver of "fear" and the willingness of businesses to purchase pandemic insurance.
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:
1.--" . . . . The emergence of the virus in 1997 in Hong Kong was eerily predicted by Kennedy Shortridge, the scientist who would discover it. H5N1 didn’t infect humans until Shortridge and his colleagues had been studying its human infection potential in their labs for several years. At the time, the natural leap of a flu directly from poultry to humans was so improbable that scientists first suspected that it was the result of contamination from Shortridge’s lab. . . ." 2.--Normally, H5N1 human infections are extremely rare: " . . . . H5N1 hardly ever infects people. News about highly pathogenic avian influenza usually leads with how deadly it is. Rarely is it mentioned that the disease hardly ever infects people. H5N1 kills more than half of the people who get it, but H5N1 has circled the globe for decades and there have only ever been 860 human infections worldwide. . . ." 3.--More about how rare human infections are and the rise of avian infections in 2022: " . . . . There has never been an H5N1 pandemic and no human infectionwith H5N1 bird flu has ever been identified in the U.S. That’s an extraordinary safety record, given how filthy U.S. factory farms and slaughterhouses are and how fast the infection spreads among crowded birds. So far in 2022, 29 states have reported outbreaks of bird flu in 213 flocks resulting in the culling of nearly 31 million birds, including almost 5 percent of egg-laying hens. In 2015, it was even worse with 50 million birds culled, but there wasn’t a single human case. . . ." 4.--" . . . . Anthony Fauci has made significant investments in gain-of-function research to give H5N1 pandemic potential, making it easily transmissible from person to person—and Bill Gates chipped in, too! . . ." 5.--" . . . . In February 2006, Fauci convened a one-day in-house 'NIAID Influenza Research Summit' to identify influenza research priorities. In September, he opened up the topic to a 35-member 'Blue Ribbon Panel on Influenza Research' that included Fouchier and Kawaoka. The Blue Ribbon panel’s report doesn’t mention gain-of-function experiments, but Fauci gave them grants to do just that. [Ron] Fouchier and [Yoshihiro] Kawaoka’s now infamous gain-of-function research showed that, through lab manipulation, H5N1 could be altered to become highly transmissible among humans via airborne infection. . . ." 6.--" . . . . The first human H5N1 outbreak occurred in Hong Kong in 1997, the year of what the British call the 'Hong Kong handover,' when sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred from the U.K. to China. It was during this 'politically sensitive' year that Kennedy Shortridge, an Australian scientist who was the director of the World Health Organization’s reference laboratory at the University of Hong Kong, confirmed human cases of highly pathogenic bird flu. . . ." 7.--" . . . .The 1997 Hong Kong H5N1 virus was unique in every respect. Time magazine reported, 'On the H gene at a point called the cleavage site, [was] found a telltale mutation, the same kind of mutation found in other highly pathogenic avian viruses. …The virus … had regions that were identical to portions of [an] avian virus that struck Pennsylvania [chickens] in 1983.'' The L.A. Times reported, 'The H5 piece came from a virus in a goose. The N1 piece came from a second virus in a quail. The remaining flu genes came from a third virus, also in quail.' . . . ." 8.--" . . . . Shortridge had been studying how avian influenza viruses spread to humans since 1975. Prior to discovering H5N1, Shortridge eerily predicted its emergence. As Frank Ching reported in 'Bird Flu, SARS and Beyond': As early as 1982, Shortridge had labeled southern China, where humans and domestic animals lived in close proximity, 'an epicenter for the origin of pandemics.' Ten years later, he called southern China a 'virus soup' and warned that pandemic influenza was a zoonosis, that is, it could be transmitted from animals to humans and, in 1995, he warned that influenza in southern China could not properly be called an 'emerging' infection because it was constantly lurking. 'Elusive might be more apt,' he wrote. . . ." 9.--" . . . . An example of Shortridge’s penchant for such predictions is his 1995 Lancet article “The next pandemic influenza virus?” Curiously, H5N1 emerged two years later, in 1997, in the same city where Shortridge worked, Hong Kong. . . ." 10.--" . . . . At the time, the natural leap of a flu directly from poultry to humans was thought to be so unlikely that scientists first suspected contamination from Shortridge’s lab was the cause of the highly improbable H5N1 diagnosis. How would that contamination happen unless Shortridge hadn’t already been working with H5N1 in the lab? . . ." 11.--" . . . . H5N1 didn’t cause disease in humans until this potential had been studied in a lab for several years. Fauci had been funding Kawaoka and Fouchier’s efforts to get bird flu to leap to humans since 1990 and their work was connected to what Shortridge was doing in Hong Kong. For seven years prior to the first human H5N1 outbreak in 1997, Fauci had been funding Kawaoka’s gain-of-function bird flu research at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Kawaoka’s mentor there, Robert G. Webster, was working and publishing with Shortridge. Every year, Webster spent three months working with Shortridge at the University of Hong Kong, according to this profile of Webster which mentions Kawaoka as his protege. . . ." 12.--" . . . . The most eerie connection between Shortridge and Webster’s labs is that the closest known relative of the 1997 Hong Kong H5N1 was the avian virus that struck Pennsylvania chickens in 1983—that Yoshihiro Kawaoka had studied. According to Time magazine: Webster assigned a young scientist, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, to try to figure out how the [1983] virus transformed itself into such a 'hot' pathogen. Kawaoka, now a professor of virology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, compared the genetic structure of viruses from the first and second waves and found only a single, extremely subtle change in the H gene. The two viruses differed by just one nucleotide--one of 1,700 nucleotides that made up the gene. . . ." 13.--". . . . There’s also a connection to Fouchier, through his mentor at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Jan De Jong, also a colleague and collaborator of Shortridge and Webster’s. . . ." 14.--" . . . . Kawaoka’s colleague and mentor Robert G. Webster and Fouchier’s colleague and mentor Jan De Jong were the first scientists outside of Hong Kong to receive samples of the 1997 H5N1 flu from Shortridge’s lab. . . ." 15.--" . . . . De Jong is often credited with being the one who identified the 1997 Hong Kong flu as H5N1, but he did so with 'a panel of reagents to every type of flu strain yet known' that had been brought from Webster’s lab in Memphis to the National Influenza Centre in Rotterdam. . . ." 16.--" . . . . Kawaoka and Fouchier are of post-Biological Weapons Convention era where the weaponization of pathogens is euphemistically called 'gain-of-function' research, but their older colleagues, De Jong, Shortridge and Webster came of age prior to 1972 and their mentors were of the pre-Biological Weapons Convention era when virologists knowingly and openly engineered viruses for military purposes. . . ." 17.--" . . . . Shortridge and Webster were trained by Frank Macfarlane Burnet who served on the Australian Department of Defence’s New Weapons and Equipment Development Committee in the 1940s and 50s. The Federation of American Scientists lists some of the most chilling things Burnet recommended: Burnet … said Australia should develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres. . . ." 18.--Burnet's observations: " . . . . 'Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions.' . . ." 18.--The broadcast notes a frightening relationship between Metabiota and the selection of Philip Zelikow to head a commission to determine the origin of Covid-19: " . . . . In 2008, Google.org committed $30 million to virus hunting and gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens through a project it called Predict and Prevent. At least $5.5 million of that went to Dr. Nathan Wolfe’s non-profit Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, which was soon to become the for-profit Metabiota. Other GVFI funders at the time included the Skoll Foundation, which also gave $5.5 million, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck Research Laboratories and the US Department of Defense. . . ." 19.--" . . . . When the GVFI became the for-profit Metabiota, Google Ventures continued to invest. In addition, it created a business partnership with Metabiota, 'offering its big-data expertise to help the company serve its customers–insurers, government agencies and other organizations–by offering them forecasting and risk-management tools.' In other words, they sell pandemic insurance. . . ." 20.--". . . . Now that Metabiota has gotten caught up in the COVID origins scandal, its original investors, Eric Schmidt of Google, Jeffrey Skoll of EBay, Rajiv Shah of The Rockefeller Foundation (formerly USAID director, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) chipped in to fund the COVID Commission Planning Group, a white-wash led by Philip Zelikow who gave us the 9-11 Commission cover-up. . . ." 21.--In past programs, we have noted that David Franz, former head of the U.S.A.M.R.I.I.D at Fort Detrick was a key advisor to EcoHealthAlliance. Franz helped produce the encapsulated, weapons-grade anthrax used in the 2001 anthrax attacks: " . . . . One of Metabiota’s PREDICT partners is EcoHealth Alliance, whose science and policy advisor, David Franz, produced the anthrax used in the 2001 attacks while working for Southern Research and partnering with scientists at Battelle. . . ."
The program concludes with discussion of Munich Re's deep political association with the Third Reich, both in its initial, above-ground phase and in its role as a critical element of the remarkable, lethal Bormann capital association.
In the latest Patreon talks, Mr. Emory connects many dots, including Covid-19 in Asia, the Abe assassination, the Moonies, the LDP, and the return to power of the Marcos clan in the Philippines. In addition we discuss what it really means to "support the troops" and the July 4th shooting in Highland Park, Illinois.

The first program begins by noting the joining of Metabiota with Munich Re, which, as we shall see, is working with that firm and an American insurance broker to offer pandemic insurance.
The firms are being financed by In-Q-Tel, the CIA and intelligence community's venture capital wing!
To provide depth and insight to the discussion, we review some key aspects of Metabiota:
Highlights of the Discussion:
1.--" . . . . The commander of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, claimed there was a 'scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects' and pointed to the 'financing of such activities by structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is headed by Hunter Biden.'. . ." 2.--" . . . . Moscow’s claim that Hunter Biden helped finance a US military 'bioweapons' research program in Ukraine is at least partially true, according to new emails obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. . . ." 3.--" . . . . emails from Hunter's abandoned laptop show he helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases that could be used as bioweapons. . . ." 4.--" . . . . Metabiota has been an official partner of EcoHealth Alliance since 2014, according to its website. . . ." 5.--" . . . . He also introduced Metabiota to an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm, Burisma, for a 'science project' involving high biosecurity level labs in Ukraine . . . ." 6.--" . . . . Emails and defense contract data reviewed by DailyMail.com suggest that Hunter had a prominent role in making sure Metabiota was able to conduct its pathogen research just a few hundred miles from the border with Russia. . . ." 7.--" . . . . Metabiota has worked in Ukraine for Black & Veatch, a US defense contractor with deep ties to military intelligence agencies, which built secure labs in Ukraine that analyzed killer diseases and bioweapons. . . ." 8.--" . . . . Hunter was also particularly involved in Metabiota's operations in Ukraine. Hunter's pitches to investors claimed that they not only organized funding for the firm, they also helped it 'get new customers' including 'government agencies in case of Metabiota'. . . ." 9.--" . . . . Former senior CIA officer Sam Faddis, who has reviewed emails on Hunter's laptop, told DailyMail.com that the offer to help assert Ukraine's independence was odd for a biotech executive [Metabiota vice-president Mary Guttieri]. 'It raises the question, what is the real purpose of this venture? It's very odd,' he said. . . ." 10.--" . . . . Guttieri had a leading role in Metabiota's Ukraine operations, meeting with other company executives and US and Ukrainian military officials in October 2016 to discuss 'cooperation in surveillance and prevention of especially dangerous infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases in Ukraine and neighboring countries' according to a 2016 report by the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine. . . ." 11.--" . . . . Four days after Guttieri's April 2014 email, Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi wrote to Hunter revealing that the then-Vice President's son had pitched a 'science project' involving Burisma and Metabiota in Ukraine. 'As I understand the Metabiota was a subcontract to principal contactor of the DoD B&V [Black & Veatch]. . . ." 12.--" . . . . Faddis told DailyMail.com that the attempt to get Metabiota to form a partnership with Burisma was a perplexing and worrying revelation. 'His father was the Vice President of the United States and in charge of relations with Ukraine. So why was Hunter not only on the board of a suspect Ukrainian gas firm, but also hooked them up with a company working on bioweapons research?' Faddis said. . . ." 13.--" . . . . 'The DoD position is that . . . . this is pandemic early warning research. We don't know for sure that's all that was going on. . . ." 14.--" . . . . Government spending records show the Department of Defense awarded an $18.4million contract to Metabiota between February 2014 and November 2016, with $307,091 earmarked for 'Ukraine research projects'. . . ." 15.--" . . . . The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) also commissioned B&V to build a Biological Safety Level 3 laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine in 2010, which 'provided enhanced equipment and training to effectively, safely and securely identify especially dangerous pathogens' according to a company press release. Such labs are used to 'study infectious agents or toxins that may be transmitted through the air and cause potentially lethal infections,' the US Department of Health and Human Services says. . . ." 16.--" . . . . In another sign of the deep ties between Metabiota and the Department of Defense, Hunter's RSTP business partner Rob Walker said he would 'have a friend reach out to DoD on the down low', in order to prove the company's bona fides to top prospective investors Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in October 2014. . . ." 17.--" . . . . Metabiota also has close ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), suspected to be the source of the COVID-19 outbreak. WIV was a hotspot for controversial 'gain of function' research that can create super-strength viruses. Chinese scientists performed gain of function research on coronaviruses at the WIV, working alongside a US-backed organization EcoHealth Alliance that has since drawn intense scrutiny over its coronavirus research since the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers from the Wuhan institute, Metabiota and EcoHealth Alliance published a study together in 2014 on infectious diseases from bats in China, which notes that tests were performed at the WIV. Shi Zhengli, the WIV Director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases who became dubbed the 'bat lady' for her central role in bat coronavirus research at the lab, was a contributor to the paper. . . ."
Next, we note that Metabiota--which uses AI and social media scraping (among other tools) to gauge the "fear factor" involved with pandemic readiness (and the associated pandemic insurance policies)--was gauging the fear factor for monkey pox, which had manifested some human infections in the Congo as "low."
This was in early 2020. Now, the disease is on the "front burner," so to speak. People are afraid of the "new pandemic."
Despite only 306 documented cases in the U.S. (as of 6/28/2022), hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses are being readied for human use.
The disease bears an epidemiological similarity to AIDS: an African monkey virus infecting gay males with multiple sex partners.
Note that the Wired Magazine article that will comprise the bulk of this program presents the ludicrous "chimpanzee" origins of AIDS, which we analyzed in FTR# 557.
Next, we review 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!!
We have covered AIDS as a biological warfare weapon in numerous programs, including: AFA#16, as well as FTR#'s 16, 19, 606, 644, 682, 1115, 1123.
The first program concludes with the beginning of the reading of a long Wired Magazine article about the Metabiota/Munich Reinsurance project. The reading is completed in the second program.
Before reading the article as a whole, we highlight two key points of information:
1.--The business success of the pandemic insurance would necessarily incorporate analysis of the "fear factor" of potential pandemic pathogens: " . . . . As sophisticated as Metabiota’s system was, however, it would need to be even more refined to incorporate into an insurance policy. The model would need to capture something much more difficult to quantify than historical deaths and medical stockpiles: fear. The economic consequences of a scourge, the historical data showed, were as much a result of society’s response as they were to the virus itself. . . .

This is the third program in a short series updating not only our inquiry into the Covid "op" but the overlapping inquiry into the Metabiota/Pentagon biological research/warfare program in Ukraine.
In our "Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now" programs, we noted Gilead Sciences' development of the Tamiflu anti-viral developed for use in the event of a human adaptation of H5N1 avian flu.
Previously the chairman of Gilead's board of directors, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had the Pentagon stockpile Tamiflu, while retaining generous amounts of Gilead stock--Rumsfeld profited handsomely thereby.
We have also discussed the gain-of-function research done on H5N1 to make it more infective in numerous programs.
This program explores the Ukraine programs and the allegation that weaponized H5N1 was being developed in that country.
Our research into Metabiota and the Ukraine biological laboratories is discussed in--among other programs--FTR#1239.
Research into the allegation of "digitized" migratory birds to be used as weapons is highlighted in FTR#1243.
In this and succeeding programs, we will analyze a very important article presenting depth on a number of overlapping considerations about biological warfare, the Covid "op" and the Ukraine war.
Recapping, underscoring and detailing an important milieu involved for decades with biological warfare advocacy, gain-of-function advocacy and manipulation of H5N1 avian flu, and researching the rare human outbreaks of the disease:
Two figures at opposite temporal ends of this array are Anthony Fauci and Frank Macfarlane Burnet. Fauci has channeled financing to gain-of-function manipulations performed by Ron Fouchier and Yoshihiro Kawaoka. Kawoka and Fouchier, in turn, are networked with Jan De Jong and Robert G. Webster.
Webster and Kennedy Shortridge are both colleagues/proteges of Macfarlane Burnet.
The decades long network of research projects and curious outbreaks of H5N1 among both birds and humans is detailed below:
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include:
1.--" . . . . The emergence of the virus in 1997 in Hong Kong was eerily predicted by Kennedy Shortridge, the scientist who would discover it. H5N1 didn’t infect humans until Shortridge and his colleagues had been studying its human infection potential in their labs for several years.

H5N1 hardly ever infects people. News about highly pathogenic avian influenza usually leads with how deadly it is. Rarely is it mentioned that the disease hardly ever infects people. H5N1 kills more than half of the people who get it, but H5N1 has circled the globe for decades and there have only ever been 860 human infections worldwide. . . ." 4.--More about how rare human infections are and the rise of avian infections in 2022: " . . . . There has never been an H5N1 pandemic and no human infection with H5N1 bird flu has ever been identified in the U.S. That’s an extraordinary safety record, given how filthy U.S. factory farms and slaughterhouses are and how fast the infection spreads among crowded birds. So far in 2022, 29 states have reported outbreaks of bird flu in 213 flocks resulting in the culling of nearly 31 million birds, including almost 5 percent of egg-laying hens. In 2015, it was even worse with 50 million birds culled, but there wasn’t a single human case. . . ." 5.--" . . . . Anthony Fauci has made significant investments in gain-of-function research to give H5N1 pandemic potential, making it easily transmissible from person to person—and Bill Gates chipped in, too! . . ." 6.--" . . . . In February 2006, Fauci convened a one-day in-house 'NIAID Influenza Research Summit' to identify influenza research priorities. In September, he opened up the topic to a 35-member 'Blue Ribbon Panel on Influenza Research' that included Fouchier and Kawaoka. The Blue Ribbon panel’s report doesn’t mention gain-of-function experiments, but Fauci gave them grants to do just that. [Ron] Fouchier and [Yoshihiro] Kawaoka’s now infamous gain-of-function research showed that, through lab manipulation, H5N1 could be altered to become highly transmissible among humans via airborne infection. . . ." 7.--" . . . . The first human H5N1 outbreak occurred in Hong Kong in 1997, the year of what the British call the 'Hong Kong handover,' when sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred from the U.K. to China. It was during this 'politically sensitive' year that Kennedy Shortridge, an Australian scientist who was the director of the World Health Organization’s reference laboratory at the University of Hong Kong, confirmed human cases of highly pathogenic bird flu. . . ." 8.--" . . . .The 1997 Hong Kong H5N1 virus was unique in every respect. Time magazine reported, 'On the H gene at a point called the cleavage site, [was] found a telltale mutation, the same kind of mutation found in other highly pathogenic avian viruses. …The virus … had regions that were identical to portions of [an] avian virus that struck Pennsylvania [chickens] in 1983.'' The L.A. Times reported, 'The H5 piece came from a virus in a goose. The N1 piece came from a second virus in a quail. The remaining flu genes came from a third virus, also in quail.' . . . ." 9.--" . . . . Shortridge had been studying how avian influenza viruses spread to humans since 1975. Prior to discovering H5N1, Shortridge eerily predicted its emergence. As Frank Ching reported in 'Bird Flu, SARS and Beyond': As early as 1982, Shortridge had labeled southern China, where humans and domestic animals lived in close proximity, 'an epicenter for the origin of pandemics.' Ten years later, he called southern China a 'virus soup' and warned that pandemic influenza was a zoonosis, that is, it could be transmitted from animals to humans and, in 1995, he warned that influenza in southern China could not properly be called an 'emerging' infection because it was constantly lurking. 'Elusive might be more apt,' he wrote. . . ." 10.--" . . . . An example of Shortridge’s penchant for such predictions is his 1995 Lancet article “The next pandemic influenza virus?” Curiously, H5N1 emerged two years later, in 1997, in the same city where Shortridge worked, Hong Kong. . . ." 11.--" . . . . At the time, the natural leap of a flu directly from poultry to humans was thought to be so unlikely that scientists first suspected contamination from Shortridge’s lab was the cause of the highly improbable H5N1 diagnosis. How would that contamination happen unless Shortridge hadn’t already been working with H5N1 in the lab? . . ." 12.--" . . . . H5N1 didn’t cause disease in humans until this potential had been studied in a lab for several years. Fauci had been funding Kawaoka and Fouchier’s efforts to get bird flu to leap to humans since 1990 and their work was connected to what Shortridge was doing in Hong Kong. For seven years prior to the first human H5N1 outbreak in 1997, Fauci had been funding Kawaoka’s gain-of-function bird flu research at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Kawaoka’s mentor there, Robert G. Webster, was working and publishing with Shortridge. Every year, Webster spent three months working with Shortridge at the University of Hong Kong, according to this profile of Webster which mentions Kawaoka as his protege. . . ." 13.--" . . . . The most eerie connection between Shortridge and Webster’s labs is that the closest known relative of the 1997 Hong Kong H5N1 was the avian virus that struck Pennsylvania chickens in 1983—that Yoshihiro Kawaoka had studied. According to Time magazine: Webster assigned a young scientist, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, to try to figure out how the [1983] virus transformed itself into such a 'hot' pathogen. Kawaoka, now a professor of virology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, compared the genetic structure of viruses from the first and second waves and found only a single, extremely subtle change in the H gene. The two viruses differed by just one nucleotide--one of 1,700 nucleotides that made up the gene. . . ." 14.--". . . . There’s also a connection to Fouchier, through his mentor at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Jan De Jong, also a colleague and collaborator of Shortridge and Webster’s. . . ." 15.--" . . . . Kawaoka’s colleague and mentor Robert G. Webster and Fouchier’s colleague and mentor Jan De Jong were the first scientists outside of Hong Kong to receive samples of the 1997 H5N1 flu from Shortridge’s lab. . . ." 16.--" . . . . De Jong is often credited with being the one who identified the 1997 Hong Kong flu as H5N1, but he did so with 'a panel of reagents to every type of flu strain yet known' that had been brought from Webster’s lab in Memphis to the National Influenza Centre in Rotterdam. . . ." 17.--" . . . . Kawaoka and Fouchier are of post-Biological Weapons Convention era where the weaponization of pathogens is euphemistically called 'gain-of-function' research, but their older colleagues, De Jong, Shortridge and Webster came of age prior to 1972 and their mentors were of the pre-Biological Weapons Convention era when virologists knowingly and openly engineered viruses for military purposes. . . ." 18.--" . . . . Shortridge and Webster were trained by Frank Macfarlane Burnet who served on the Australian Department of Defence’s New Weapons and Equipment Development Committee in the 1940s and 50s. The Federation of American Scientists lists some of the most chilling things Burnet recommended: Burnet … said Australia should develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres. . . ." 19.--Burnet's observations: " . . . . 'Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions.' . . ." 20.--The broadcast notes a frightening relationship between Metabiota and the selection of Philip Zelikow to head a commission to determine the origin of Covid-19: " . . . . In 2008, Google.org committed $30 million to virus hunting and gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens through a project it called Predict and Prevent. At least $5.5 million of that went to Dr. Nathan Wolfe’s non-profit Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, which was soon to become the for-profit Metabiota. Other GVFI funders at the time included the Skoll Foundation, which also gave $5.5 million, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck Research Laboratories and the US Department of Defense. . . ." 21.--" . . . . When the GVFI became the for-profit Metabiota, Google Ventures continued to invest. In addition, it created a business partnership with Metabiota, 'offering its big-data expertise to help the company serve its customers–insurers, government agencies and other organizations–by offering them forecasting and risk-management tools.' In other words, they sell pandemic insurance. . . ." 22.--". . . . Now that Metabiota has gotten caught up in the COVID origins scandal, its original investors, Eric Schmidt of Google, Jeffrey Skoll of EBay, Rajiv Shah of The Rockefeller Foundation (formerly USAID director, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) chipped in to fund the COVID Commission Planning Group, a white-wash led by Philip Zelikow who gave us the 9-11 Commission cover-up. . . ." 23.--In past programs, we have noted that David Franz, former head of the U.S.A.M.R.I.I.D at Fort Detrick was a key advisor to EcoHealthAlliance. Franz helped produce the encapsulated, weapons-grade anthrax used in the 2001 anthrax attacks: " . . . . One of Metabiota’s PREDICT partners is EcoHealth Alliance, whose science and policy advisor, David Franz, produced the anthrax used in the 2001 attacks while working for Southern Research and partnering with scientists at Battelle. . . ."
Pivoting to the subject of apparent Russian discoveries of an advanced American-financed biological warfare program in Ukraine, we access the commentary of M.K. Bhadrakumar, a former Indian diplomat.
Bhadrakumar underscores some terrifying aspects of the apparent B.W. program, including "digitized" migratory birds, tracked by satellite and fitted with capsules of deadly microbes. When the birds are over a targeted country, they can be killed, triggering a pandemic.
" . . . . A mind-boggling 'discovery' that Russian forces in Ukraine stumbled upon is the use of numbered birds by the Pentagon-funded labs. . . . On the basis of this data, groups of migratory birds are caught, digitized and capsules of germs are attached to them that carry a chip to be controlled through computers. . . . During the long flight of the birds that have been digitized in the Pentagon bio-labs, their movement is monitored step by step by means of satellites and the exact locations are determined. . . . During the long flight of the birds that have been digitized in the Pentagon bio-labs, their movement is monitored step by step by means of satellites and the exact locations are determined. . . . The idea is that if the Biden Administration (or the CIA) has a requirement to inflict harm on, say, Russia or China (or India for that matter), the chip is destroyed when the bird is in their skies. Plainly put, kill the bird carrying the epidemic. . . . once the 'digitized' bird is killed and the capsule of germs it carries is released, the disease spreads in the 'X' or 'Y' country. It becomes a highly cost-effective method of harming an enemy country without any need of war or coup d’état or color revolution. The Russians have made the shocking claim that they are actually in possession of such migratory birds digitized in the Pentagon’s bio-labs. . . ."
A 2014 blog post details a 1960's program in India that may have been a precursor to the apparent "digitized/weaponized" migratory birds program in Ukraine.
" . . . . It appeared that a unit of the U.S. Army called Migratory Animal Pathological Survey was interested in the project. The Army’s interest lay in knowing whether bacteria were being transmitted by the migrating birds. The project offered an excellent means of investigation and therefore had acquired an ominous significance. . . ."
Another possible 1960's precursor of the "migratory birds of mass destruction" in Ukraine was a program to place voracious, disease-carrying Lone Star ticks in the Atlantic Flyway, through which migratory birds travel from Latin America through to the American Northeast.
" . . . . The sites were located on the Atlantic Flyway, the migratory bird superhighway that runs along the eastern South American and North American coasts. . . . . . . . Lone star ticks have several survival advantages over their deer tick cousins. They don’t wait patiently on a stalk of grass for passing prey; they are active hunters that crawl toward any carbon dioxide-emitting animal, including birds. . . . But in the 1970s, these ticks began rapidly expanding their range. 7 The first lone star tick observed on Montauk, Long Island, was in 1971, and as of 2018, established populations have been observed as far north as Maine. 8 . . . . All this begs the question: What is driving this mass migration of the lone star tick and its disease-causing hitchhikers northward? . . . ."
Is this research in any way linked to the Russian allegations of weaponization of H5N1 avian flu detailed in FTR#'s 1248 and 1249?
This is the second program in a short series updating not only our inquiry into the Covid "op" but the overlapping inquiry into the Metabiota/Pentagon biological research/warfare program in Ukraine.
In our "Bio-Psy-Op Apocalypse Now" programs, we noted Gilead Sciences' development of the Tamiflu anti-viral developed for use in the event of a human adaptation of H5N1 avian flu.
Previously the chairman of Gilead's board of directors, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had the Pentagon stockpile Tamiflu, while retaining generous amounts of Gilead stock--Rumsfeld profited handsomely thereby.
We have also discussed the gain-of-function research done on H5N1 to make it more infective in numerous programs.
This program explores the Ukraine programs and the allegation that weaponized H5N1 was being developed in that country.
Our research into Metabiota and the Ukraine biological laboratories is discussed in--among other programs--FTR#1239.
Research into the allegation of "digitized" migratory birds to be used as weapons is highlighted in FTR#1243.
In this and succeeding programs, we will analyze a very important article presenting depth on a number of overlapping considerations about biological warfare, the Covid "op" and the Ukraine war.

According to Time magazine: Webster assigned a young scientist, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, to try to figure out how the [1983] virus transformed itself into such a 'hot' pathogen. Kawaoka, now a professor of virology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, compared the genetic structure of viruses from the first and second waves and found only a single, extremely subtle change in the H gene. The two viruses differed by just one nucleotide--one of 1,700 nucleotides that made up the gene. . . ." 8.--". . . . There’s also a connection to Fouchier, through his mentor at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Jan De Jong, also a colleague and collaborator of Shortridge and Webster’s. . . ." 9.--" . . . . Kawaoka’s colleague and mentor Robert G. Webster and Fouchier’s colleague and mentor Jan De Jong were the first scientists outside of Hong Kong to receive samples of the 1997 H5N1 flu from Shortridge’s lab. . . ." 10.--" . . . . De Jong is often credited with being the one who identified the 1997 Hong Kong flu as H5N1, but he did so with 'a panel of reagents to every type of flu strain yet known' that had been brought from Webster’s lab in Memphis to the National Influenza Centre in Rotterdam. . . ." 11.--" . . . . Kawaoka and Fouchier are of post-Biological Weapons Convention era where the weaponization of pathogens is euphemistically called 'gain-of-function' research, but their older colleagues, De Jong, Shortridge and Webster came of age prior to 1972 and their mentors were of the pre-Biological Weapons Convention era when virologists knowingly and openly engineered viruses for military purposes. . . ." 12.--" . . . . Shortridge and Webster were trained by Frank Macfarlane Burnet who served on the Australian Department of Defence’s New Weapons and Equipment Development Committee in the 1940s and 50s. The Federation of American Scientists lists some of the most chilling things Burnet recommended: Burnet … said Australia should develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres. . . ." 13.--Burnet's observations: " . . . . 'Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions.' . . ." 14.--The broadcast notes a frightening relationship between Metabiota and the selection of Philip Zelikow to head a commission to determine the origin of Covid-19: " . . . . In 2008, Google.org committed $30 million to virus hunting and gain-of-function research on potential pandemic pathogens through a project it called Predict and Prevent. At least $5.5 million of that went to Dr. Nathan Wolfe’s non-profit Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, which was soon to become the for-profit Metabiota. Other GVFI funders at the time included the Skoll Foundation, which also gave $5.5 million, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck Research Laboratories and the US Department of Defense. . . ." 15.--" . . . . When the GVFI became the for-profit Metabiota, Google Ventures continued to invest. In addition, it created a business partnership with Metabiota, 'offering its big-data expertise to help the company serve its customers–insurers, government agencies and other organizations–by offering them forecasting and risk-management tools.' In other words, they sell pandemic insurance. . . ." 16.--". . . . Now that Metabiota has gotten caught up in the COVID origins scandal, its original investors, Eric Schmidt of Google, Jeffrey Skoll of EBay, Rajiv Shah of The Rockefeller Foundation (formerly USAID director, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) chipped in to fund the COVID Commission Planning Group, a white-wash led by Philip Zelikow who gave us the 9-11 Commission cover-up. . . ." 17.--In past programs, we have noted that David Franz, former head of the U.S.A.M.R.I.I.D at Fort Detrick was a key advisor to EcoHealthAlliance. Franz helped produce the encapsulated, weapons-grade anthrax used in the 2001 anthrax attacks: " . . . . One of Metabiota’s PREDICT partners is EcoHealth Alliance, whose science and policy advisor, David Franz, produced the anthrax used in the 2001 attacks while working for Southern Research and partnering with scientists at Battelle. . . ."

This program features a reading of an interview done with Colonel Jacques Baud by The Postil.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis: As with the two analytical pieces Baud did on the conduct and progress of the war itself, Colonel Baud stresses that the picture of the Ukraine War being presented by Western politicians and media voices consists of what they want to happen, rather than the information that would be provided by a good intelligence service, which would present the situation as it actually exists:
1.--“ . . . . As a result, we tend to portray the enemy as we wished him to be, rather than as he actually is. This is the ultimate recipe for failure. . . .” 2.--“ . . . . First, most people, including politicians and journalists, still confuse Russia and the USSR. For instance, they don’t understand why the communist party is the main opposition party in Russia. . . .” 3.--“ . . . . Most people, including the top brass, tend to confuse ‘Russia’ and ‘USSR.’ As I was in NATO, I could hardly find someone who could explain what Russia’s vision of the world is or even its political doctrine. Lot of people think Vladimir Putin is a communist. . . .” 4.--“ . . . . In 2014, during the Maidan revolution in Kiev, I was in NATO in Brussels. I noticed that people didn’t assess the situation as it was, but as they wished it would be. This is exactly what Sun Tzu describes as the first step towards failure. . . .” 5.--“ . . . . We like to call him [Putin] a ‘dictator,’ but we have a hard time to explain what we mean by that. As examples, people come up invariably with the assassination of such and such journalist or former FSB or GRU agents, although evidence is extremely debatable. . . .” 6.--“ . . . . the German doctors in the Charité Hospital in Berlin, were not able to identify any nerve agent in Navalny’s body. Surprisingly, they published their findingsin the respected medical review The Lancet, showing that Navalny probably experienced a bad combination of medicine and other substances. The Swedish military lab that analyzed Navalny’s blood—redacted the name of the substance they discovered, which is odd since everybody expected ‘Novichok’ to be mentioned. . . .” 7.--“ . . . . In fact, it appeared clear to me that nobody in NATO had the slightest interest in Ukraine. The main goal was to destabilize Russia. . . .” 8.--“ . . . . The problem here is that these far-right fanatics threatened to kill Zelensky were he to try to make peace with Russia. As a result, Zelensky found himself sitting between his promises and the violent opposition of an increasingly powerful far-right movement. In May 2019, on the Ukrainian media Obozrevatel, Dmytro Yarosh, head of the ‘Pravy Sektor’ militia and adviser to the Army Commander in Chief, openly threatened Zelensky with death, if he came to an agreement with Russia. . . .” 9.--“ . . . . I am not sure about the so-called ‘color-revolutions’ aim at spreading democracy. My take is that it is just a way to weaponize human rights, the rule of law or democracy in order to achieve geo-strategic objectives. . . .” 10.--“ . . . . Ukraine is a case in point. After 2014, despite Western influence, it has never been a democracy: corruption soared between 2014 and 2020; in 2021, it banned opposition media and jailed the leader of the main parliamentary opposition party. As some international organizations have reported, torture is a common practice, and opposition leaders as well as journalists are chasedby the Ukrainian Security Service. . . .” 11.--“ . . . . But as soon as you come up with western data that do not fit into the mainstream narrative, you have extremists claiming you ‘love Putin.’ . . .” 12.--“ . . . . Our media are so worried about finding rationality in Putin’s actions that they turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by Ukraine, thus generating a feeling of impunity for which Ukrainians are paying the price. This is the case of the attack on civilians by a missile in Kramatorsk—we no longer talk about it because the responsibility of Ukraine is very likely, but this means that the Ukrainians could do it again with impunity. . . .” 13.--“ . . . . With the end of the Cold War, Russia expected being able to develop closer relations with its Western neighbors. It even considered joining NATO. But the US resisted every attempt of rapprochement. . . .” 14.--“ . . . . The purpose of this incredible polarization is to prevent any dialogue or negotiation with Russia. We are back to what happened in 1914, just before the start of WWI. . . .” 15.--“ . . . . Since 2014, I haven’t met any intelligence professional who could confirm any Russian military presence in the Donbass. In fact, Crimea became the main ‘evidence’ of Russian ‘intervention.’ Of course, Western historians ignore superbly that Crimea was separated from Ukraine by referendum in January 1990, six months before Ukrainian independence and under Soviet rule. In fact, it’s Ukraine that illegally annexed Crimea in 1995. . . .” 16.--“ . . . . Regardless of what Russia does, US and western strategy is to weaken it. From that point on, Russia has no real stake in its relations with us. Again, the US objective is not to have a ‘better’ Ukraine or a ‘better’ Russia, but a weaker Russia. . . .” 17.--“ . . . . As Henry Kissinger said in the Washington Post: ‘For the West, the demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy; it is an alibi for the absence of one.’ . . .” 18.--“ . . . . I think the decay of US hegemony will be the main feature of the next decades. . . . . The loss of confidence in the US dollar may have significant impact on the US economy at large. . . . a significant deterioration could lead the United States to engage in more conflicts around the world. This is something that we are seeing today . . . .”
The Patreon site continues to develop and take form: The first Zoom Q & A Session is scheduled for 6/5 at 2pm Pacific Time. A theme of the talk Friday was how to best bridge the gap between new, credible documented information that conflicts with people's pre-existing beliefs and the changing of those beliefs. That gap can be expressed in this online, comic, cleverly conceived and executed. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

In this program, we present a second analysis of Colonel Jacques Baud's analysis of the military situation in the Ukraine war.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis: Colonel Baud recaps his analysis presented in his first article—that the move on Kiev was a diversion and the main “Schwerpunkt” of the Russian offensive is encircling the bulk of the Ukrainian forces concentrated on the border of the Donbass; Baud’s contention that the West fundamentally misinterpreted Russia’s operation because its analysts saw Russian intent as being what the West would have done—trying to capture the capital in order to effect “regime change;” Western political and media pundits are seeing things as they want them to be and not how they are; The West’s divorce from accurate intelligence provided by intelligence services; The West’s reliance on fundamentally unreliable Ukrainian battlefield “intelligence;” The West’s subversion of the possibility of a negotiated settlement by sending Ukraine weapons in the hope/belief that Ukraine has a chance of winning; Baud supports the view expressed in previous programs that Russia is NOT indiscriminately bombing civilian populations; Baud points out that Russia emphasizes action involving ground troops and does not engage in the kind of massive aerial bombardment that produced massive civilian casualties in Western military campaigns; Baud points out that Russian military action is primarily in the ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine in which the civilian population is not hostile to their forces; Conversely, the Ukrainian “ultra-nationalist” forces are deployed in cities where the civilian population has no connection with the combatants, maximizing civilian losses; Discussion of the Russian officers leading from the rear—leading to higher casualties and fundamental misunderstanding of this by Western commentators; Discussion of foreign “volunteers” fighting for Ukraine and the possibility of Western weaponry falling into the hands of future terrorists-to-be; Baud’s belief that U.S. and German intelligence knew of the Ukrainian intent to attack the Donbass, deliberately pushing Ukraine into the war; “Ukraine was thus instrumentalized to affect Russia;” Baud reiterates his contention that the West and France’s Macron, in particular, completely undermined diplomacy and upholding the Minsk agreements; A disturbing truth concerning Putin’s placing of Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert; “ . . . . it followed the thinly veiled threat made by Jean-Yves Le Drian, three days earlier, that NATO could use nuclear weapons . . .”; The increasing vulnerability of the West to manipulation by “false-flag operations;” The fact that Russia destroyed its stockpile of biological weapons and the West has not; “ . . . . But in the current atmosphere, all the conditions are now met for an incident to happen that would push the West to become more involved, in some form, in the Ukrainian conflict (a “false-flag” incident). . . .”
The program concludes with presentation of an interview with Jacques Baud, which will be read in full in our next program.

The second of a projected four-part discussion of the decisively important work of former Swiss intelligence officer Jacques Baud, this program presents and details fundamentals of the Ukraine war and the history leading up to it. This analysis will be supplemented in the remaining programs in the series.
His CV is presented below, and will be supplemented by more detail in an interview presented with him.
The reading of this article is continued from our last program.
Baud points out that the presentation of the war in the West is badly skewed, with politicians and media pursuing ideologized fantasies, rather than substantive analysis coming from intelligence agencies.
The essence of Baud’s war analysis is presentation of compelling documentation that the Ukraine war was begun by the West—the U.S. and NATO in particular—in order to weaken Russia.
Facilitating a murderous program of systematic atrocity committed by Ukraine’s government against the Russian-speaking minority of Ukraine, it is the West and the Biden administration in particular, that bear responsibility for the conflict.
As will be seen, analysis of the actual conflict itself is fundamentally skewed in the U.S. and Europe. Far from being “incompetent,” Russia quickly executed maneuver warfare to cut-off the bulk of the Ukrainian army, which was poised for a lethal offensive against the Russian-speaking East.
Russia’s primary objective—completely misunderstood in the West and systematically misrepresented by political and media interests alike—was largely achieved within a short period.
The Russian forces occupied territory roughly equivalent to the U.K in a matter of days, fixing Ukrainian forces with a diversionary move toward Kiev, eliminating Ukraine’s ability to move large numbers of troops and trapping the primary Ukrainian forces in the East.
This will be more completely discussed, analyzed and presented in the remaining programs featuring Baud’s work.
Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include: Baud’s first-hand involvement in NATO training of the Ukrainian military; Baud’s former position as chief of Swiss intelligence’s division on Warsaw pact forces during the Cold War; Baud’s extensive UN experience on proliferation of small arms, their distribution to civilian populations and the deleterious effects of that distribution; The fundamental, institutionalized distortion of the conflict—politicians and media ignoring reality (including and especially that presented by intelligence professionals) and inculcating the public (and themselves) with an inflammatory, demonstrably false narrative that engenders a dangerous policy of escalation; The essential misunderstanding of the genesis of the Ukrainian conflict; The central issue of the post-Maidan government’s banning of the Russian language in Ukraine’s Eastern districts; The fundamental misunderstanding of, and misrepresentation of, the civil war in Ukraine’s East as a dynamic involving “Russian Separatists” and “interference” by Putin; Putin’s advice to the Russian-speaking Eastern districts NOT to seek a referendum on autonomy; The Ukrainian government’s launch of an ill-fated military suppression against those districts; The fundamental corruption and ineptitude of the post-Maidan Ukrainian military; The false narrative distributed in the west that Russia was involved in any way with the civil war in Eastern Ukraine; The failure of the civil war against the Eastern districts because of that ineptitude; The defection of large “maneuver” units of the Ukrainian armed forces—armor, artillery and missile formations; The monumental failure to report for duty of the Ukrainian reserve personnel; Ukraine’s pivot to NATO to form the Ukrainian military; Jacques Baud’s role in that attempted formation; NATO’s creation of the fascist “reprisal units,” exemplified by the Azov Regiment; The Azov regiment’s symbolic, and historical nostalgia for the ”Das Reich” Division—2nd Waffen SS; The operational strength of the NATO-created fascist territorial defense units—102,000; The reality behind a 2021” hijacking of a RyanAir flight in Belarus; the fact that the “journalist”—Roman Protassevitch—was a prominent member of the Azov regiment; the fact that the action was in keeping with the rules of force; The war’s genesis with a Ukrainian campaign to conquer and decimate the Russian-speaking regions of the East; the Duma’s advocacy of diplomatic recognition for the Russian-speaking regions; Putin’s initial refusal to recognize the regions; France and the West’s refusal to implement the Minsk Agreements; France and the West’s insistence on direct confrontation between Ukraine and Russia; The Ukraine’s initiation of the conflict by bombarding the Russian-speaking districts and massing their army for an all-out assault; Putin’s granting of the Duma’s request and diplomatic recognition of the independence of the Russian-speaking regions; Those regions’ request for military assistance; Putin’s positive response to that request, initiating the conflict; The Russian strategy of using pressure on Kiev as a diversion, drawing Ukrainian forces around it and permitting the encirclement of the bulk of the Ukrainian army in Eastern Ukraine; The West’s fundamental misunderstanding of Putin’s and Russia’s war aims, due to their own strategic and operational myopia; The “slowdown” of Russian operations, due to the fact that they have already achieved their objective; The “reprisal” units’ deliberate blocking of civilian evacuation corridors, so that the civilians can be used to deliberately impede Russian military progress; The West’s manipulation of Zelensky and Ukraine, in essence bribing him with arms purchases to “bleed Russia;” The distribution of small arms to Ukrainian urban populations, a development that Baud feels will lead to atrocities committed against fellow civilians; The strong probability that the Azov Regiment was using the Mariupol maternity hospital as a strategic vantage point, and that the Russians fired on it as a legitimate military target; The West's using of that "War Crime" to justify further arms shipments; The West's systematic distortion and "weaponization" of war coverage; The joint security provided to the Chernobyl nuclear plant by BOTH Ukrainian and Russian soldiers to prevent sabotage; Baud's observation that the West's providing of large amounts of small arms to the populations of Kiev and Kharkov will lead to trouble; Baud's observation that political and media elements in the West are presenting information at variance with what intelligence services have been able to verify; The murder of Ukrainian diplomats and politicians who have been willing to negotiate with Russia.
In the ongoing series on the Ukraine war, Mr. Emory has advanced the metaphor of the war and its attendant coverage as something akin to the mythical Philosopher's Stone of the alchemists. Instead of changing lead into gold, it is changing individuals and institutions in the West into the same fabric as Volodomyr Viatrovych's Ukrainian Institute of National Memory.
Recently, Yahoo News has begun regularly posting articles from Ukrainska Pravda.
This is part of a U.S.-funded media array in Ukraine, designed to communicate openly propagandized coverage of things Ukrainian.
Yahoo's presentation of Ukrayinska Pravda exemplifies Mr. Emory's metaphor.
Part and parcel to the whitewashing of the Nazi affiliation of the Azov formations in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Kalush Orchestra--winner of t he 2022 Eurovision song quest--capped off their performance with a call to release the Azov combatants holed up in the tunnels beneath the Azovstal steel mill.
The absence of commentary on the Nazi orientation of the Azov units is routine in the West at this point.
Also exemplifying the ideological and journalistic perversion of Western coverage of Azov formations is the New York Times piece about Azov wives requisitioning international aid for the Azovstal combatants.
The article featured mercy pleas from Kateryna Prokopenko--the wife of Azov commander Colonel Denys Prokopenko.
Colonel Prokopenko's perspective on the possible "false flag" explosion on the Mariupol Drama Theater is interesting. We can but wonder what he might disclose to Russian intelligence officers about the incident.
1.--“ . . . . On March 7, an Azov Battalion commander named Denis Prokopenko appeared on camera from Mariupol with an urgent message. Published on Azov’s official YouTube channel and delivered in English over the sound of occasional artillery launches, Prokopenko declared that the Russian military was carrying out a ‘genocide’ against the population of Mariupol, which happens to be 40 percent ethnic Russian. . . .” 2.--“ . . . . Prokopenko then demanded that Western nations ‘create a no fly zone over Ukraine support[ed] with the modern weapons.’ It was clear from Prokopenko’s plea that Azov’s position was growing more dire by the day. . . .”
Joe Biden manifested consummate hypocrisy with his condemnation of Payton Gendron, the apparent Buffalo shooter. Endorsing the 14 words minted by David Lane and utilizing the Sun Wheel symbol embraced by the Azov Battalion, Gendron was aligning himself with the same forces the U.S. backs in Ukraine.
As discussed in FTR #780, Svoboda maintains a street-fighting cadre called Combat 14. " . . . . the name points to the number '14.' In fascist circles this refers to the 'fourteen word' slogans of commitment to the 'white race.' As the leader of Svoboda’s ally 'C14' explained, his organization is in a 'struggle' with 'ethnic groups' that are wielding, among other things, 'economic and political power.' The 'ethnic groups' he is referring to are 'Russians and Jews.'[6] . . . ."
Combat 14's name derives from "the fourteen words" minted by David Lane, a member of the Order that killed talk show host Alan Berg. (See excerpt below.) The words are: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
Gendron's manifesto referenced Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch, NZ shooter, who had apparently visited Ukraine and allegedly networked with the Azov Battalion.
Even The New York Times noted the possible contact between Azov and Tarrant.
" . . . . In the wake of the New Zealand mosque attacks, links have emerged between the shooter, Brent Tarrant, and a Ukrainian ultra-nationalist, white supremacist paramilitary organization called the Azov Battalion. . . ."
A more compact, less pedantic format than the massive For The Record series, the latest Patreon talks focus on "Weaponized Feminism"--the #MeToo political destruction of key Democrats, eclipsing Donald Trump's explicit sexual predation and misogynism in the wake of Hillary Clinton's defeat. Discussion of #MeToo manifestations related to the Covid "op" and the full court press against China include a detailed discussion of the Peng Shuai "Psy-Op." These presentations effectively challenge the conventional wisdom. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

Key Points of Analysis and Discussion Include: Baud’s first-hand involvement in NATO training of the Ukrainian military; Baud’s former position as chief of Swiss intelligence’s division on Warsaw pact forces during the Cold War; Baud’s extensive UN experience on proliferation of small arms, their distribution to civilian populations and the deleterious effects of that distribution; The fundamental, institutionalized distortion of the conflict—politicians and media ignoring reality (including and especially that presented by intelligence professionals) and inculcating the public (and themselves) with an inflammatory, demonstrably false narrative that engenders a dangerous policy of escalation; The essential misunderstanding of the genesis of the Ukrainian conflict; The central issue of the post-Maidan government’s banning of the Russian language in Ukraine’s Eastern districts; The fundamental misunderstanding of, and misrepresentation of, the civil war in Ukraine’s East as a dynamic involving “Russian Separatists” and “interference” by Putin; Putin’s advice to the Russian-speaking Eastern districts NOT to seek a referendum on autonomy; The Ukrainian government’s launch of an ill-fated military suppression against those districts; The fundamental corruption and ineptitude of the post-Maidan Ukrainian military; The false narrative distributed in the west that Russia was involved in any way with the civil war in Eastern Ukraine; The failure of the civil war against the Eastern districts because of that ineptitude; The defection of large “maneuver” units of the Ukrainian armed forces—armor, artillery and missile formations; The monumental failure to report for duty of the Ukrainian reserve personnel; Ukraine’s pivot to NATO to form the Ukrainian military; Jacques Baud’s role in that attempted formation; NATO’s creation of the fascist “reprisal units,” exemplified by the Azov Regiment; The Azov regiment’s symbolic, and historical nostalgia for the ”Das Reich” Division—2nd Waffen SS; The operational strength of the NATO-created fascist territorial defense units—102,000; The reality behind a 2021” hijacking of a RyanAir flight in Belarus; the fact that the “journalist”—Roman Protassevitch—was a prominent member of the Azov regiment; the fact that the action was in keeping with the rules of force; The war’s genesis with a Ukrainian campaign to conquer and decimate the Russian-speaking regions of the East; the Duma’s advocacy of diplomatic recognition for the Russian-speaking regions; Putin’s initial refusal to recognize the regions; France and the West’s refusal to implement the Minsk Agreements; France and the West’s insistence on direct confrontation between Ukraine and Russia; The Ukraine’s initiation of the conflict by bombarding the Russian-speaking districts and massing their army for an all-out assault; Putin’s granting of the Duma’s request and diplomatic recognition of the independence of the Russian-speaking regions; Those regions’ request for military assistance; Putin’s positive response to that request, initiating the conflict; The Russian strategy of using pressure on Kiev as a diversion, drawing Ukrainian forces around it and permitting the encirclement of the bulk of the Ukrainian army in Eastern Ukraine; The West’s fundamental misunderstanding of Putin’s and Russia’s war aims, due to their own strategic and operational myopia; The “slowdown” of Russian operations, due to the fact that they have already achieved their objective; The “reprisal” units’ deliberate blocking of civilian evacuation corridors, so that the civilians can be used to deliberately impede Russian military progress; The West’s manipulation of Zelensky and Ukraine, in essence bribing him with arms purchases to “bleed Russia;” The distribution of small arms to Ukrainian urban populations, a development that Baud feels will lead to atrocities committed against fellow civilians; The strong probability that the Azov Regiment was using the Mariupol maternity hospital as a strategic vantage point, and that the Russians fired on it as a legitimate military target; The West's using of that "War Crime" to justify further arms shipments; The West's systematic distortion and "weaponization" of war coverage; The joint security provided to the Chernobyl nuclear plant by BOTH Ukrainian and Russian soldiers to prevent sabotage.
Mr. Emory has completed a four-part analysis the Covid-19 “op.” A more compact, less pedantic format than the massive For The Record series done over a two-year period, this presentation offers listeners an excellent overview on what may be the most important issue of our time. The Patreon series on the Covid-19 op fleshes out discussion with analysis of the American Deep State, continuity from the Obama administration to those of Trump and Biden—concluding with information about the apparent biological warfare program in Ukraine—a manifestation of the BW program that spawned the pandemic.

In FTR#1243, we present information about the apparent biowarfare programs the U.S. funded in Ukraine. These bear more intense scrutiny. In a 4/06 U.N. Security Council meeting, Russia alleged that migratory birds had been digitized, fitted with capsules of deadly pathogens and were tracked via satellite. The Russians claim to actually have some of these digitized birds. This allegation aligns with known U.S. biowarfare investigation of and experiments with, migratory birds. A program in India in the 1960s was supervised by the U.S. Army and another program in the same time period involved placing the virulent-biting Lone Star Tick in the Atlantic Flyway used by birds migrating between North and South America.

This program continues our coverage of Ukraine.
The title of the series comes from the 1976 autobiography Heartland by the late, brilliant political comedian Mort Sahl, one of New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's investigators his probe of President Kennedy's assassination.
Amid the highly politicized accounts of alleged “Russian atrocities” in the Ukraine war, it is of the highest importance to remember that the “news” reaching the West is coming exclusively through the Ukrainian security authorities, chiefly the Azov-imprinted Ukrainian National Police and the associated Interior Ministry, which retains the dominant influence of Azov-associated Arsen Avakov and Vadim Troyan--the former head of the Ukrainian national police and, before that, Deputy Commander of the Azov Battalion.
Further clouding access to accurate information about what is actually occurring in the war is an accelerated American disinformation process enthusiastically touting dubious intelligence as a vehicle for—supposedly—"getting inside Putin’s head.”
It is highly unlikely that the purveyors of that low-quality intelligence are actually trying to influence Putin. The low-grade intelligence is more likely to be directed at the American people.
Also worth contemplating is the grotesque history of U.S. disinformation—a track record of egregious, official lying that dominates the American political and historical landscape.
The assassination of President Kennedy, the Vietnam War that, in large measure, resulted from that murder, the killings of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, the Iraq War and countless other fundamental official political lies do not appear to have taught the American people anything!
Their appetite for b.s. appears undiminished.

Next, we visit the satellite photos, also allegedly showing photos of the alleged “Russian atrocities” in Bucha, including the digging of the alleged mass grave to hold victims of said abominations.
Maxar is the company whose satellite photos are highlighted by our media to demonstrate the alleged atrocities.
Maxar, in turn, is the parent company of DigitalGlobe, a firm started by veterans of Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (“Star Wars”).
Growing out of late 1992 legislation that legalized the entry of private firms into the strategic reconnaissance satellite business, DigitalGlobe was the source of propagandized pictures alleging a Russian “invasion” of Ukraine in 2014!
DigitalGlobe/Maxar’s track record warrants scrutiny of the firm’s “evidence” in the context of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”
More about Maxar can be found here: https://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr1237-how-many-lies-before-you-belong-to-the-lie-part-10/comment-page-1/#comment-370595
In FTR#808, we set forth information about DigitalGlobe.
The satellite imagery purporting to show Russian armor and self-propelled artillery inside of Ukraine comes from a private company--DigitalGlobe. That company was founded by key personnel from Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.
DigitalGlobe co-founder Doug Gerull had previously worked for the Zeiss firm, discussed in FTR #272 as one of the German/Underground Reich/Bormann firms that were moving into satellite imagery technology in the U.S.
An article published after FTR#808 was recorded noted the dubious nature of the claims of a "Russian Invasion” of Ukraine.
A major consideration to be weighed concerns the Azov-imprinted Ukrainian police’s use of an American AI facial recognition software called Clearview.
The brainchild of Alt-right lynchpin Charles Johnson, Clearview received key start-up investment capital from Peter Thiel, one of the driving forces behind Trump and a major player in the Big Tech and electronic surveillance scene.
Critics have expressed concern about Clearview’s potential for abuse. Note that the firm uses a database of 20 billion faces, scraped from social media.
Pivoting to the subject of apparent Russian discoveries of an advanced American-financed biological warfare program in Ukraine, we access the commentary of M.K. Bhadrakumar, a former Indian diplomat.
Bhadrakumar underscores some terrifying aspects of the apparent B.W. program, including "digitized" migratory birds, tracked by satellite and fitted with capsules of deadly microbes. When the birds are over a targeted country, they can be killed, triggering a pandemic.
" . . . . A mind-boggling 'discovery' that Russian forces in Ukraine stumbled upon is the use of numbered birds by the Pentagon-funded labs. . . . On the basis of this data, groups of migratory birds are caught, digitized and capsules of germs are attached to them that carry a chip to be controlled through computers. . . . During the long flight of the birds that have been digitized in the Pentagon bio-labs, their movement is monitored step by step by means of satellites and the exact locations are determined. . . . During the long flight of the birds that have been digitized in the Pentagon bio-labs, their movement is monitored step by step by means of satellites and the exact locations are determined. . . . The idea is that if the Biden Administration (or the CIA) has a requirement to inflict harm on, say, Russia or China (or India for that matter), the chip is destroyed when the bird is in their skies. Plainly put, kill the bird carrying the epidemic. . . . once the 'digitized' bird is killed and the capsule of germs it carries is released, the disease spreads in the 'X' or 'Y' country. It becomes a highly cost-effective method of harming an enemy country without any need of war or coup d’état or color revolution. The Russians have made the shocking claim that they are actually in possession of such migratory birds digitized in the Pentagon’s bio-labs. . . ."
A 2014 blog post details a 1960's program in India that may have been a precursor to the apparent "digitized/weaponized" migratory birds program in Ukraine.
" . . . . It appeared that a unit of the U.S. Army called Migratory Animal Pathological Survey was interested in the project. The Army’s interest lay in knowing whether bacteria were being transmitted by the migrating birds. The project offered an excellent means of investigation and therefore had acquired an ominous significance. . . ."
Another possible 1960's precursor of the "migratory birds of mass destruction" in Ukraine was a program to place voracious, disease-carrying Lone Star ticks in the Atlantic Flyway, through which migratory birds travel from Latin America through to the American Northeast.
" . . . . The sites were located on the Atlantic Flyway, the migratory bird superhighway that runs along the eastern South American and North American coasts. . . . . . . . Lone star ticks have several survival advantages over their deer tick cousins. They don’t wait patiently on a stalk of grass for passing prey; they are active hunters that crawl toward any carbon dioxide-emitting animal, including birds. . . . But in the 1970s, these ticks began rapidly expanding their range. 7 The first lone star tick observed on Montauk, Long Island, was in 1971, and as of 2018, established populations have been observed as far north as Maine. 8 . . . . All this begs the question: What is driving this mass migration of the lone star tick and its disease-causing hitchhikers northward? . . . ."
The program concludes with review of a Daily Mail article highlighting [confirmed] e-mails from Hunter Biden's laptop that partially confirm Russian discoveries of U.S.-financed biological warfare program in Ukraine.

Continuing our coverage of the Ukraine War, we note Gennadiy Druzenko--the head of Ukraine's Military Medical Service-- and his order to castrate all Russian POW's.
Can you imagine the media uproar if the head of Russia's military medical branch gave an order to castrate all Ukrainian POW's?
The program begins with a synoptic, telescoped view of the OUN/B, a key component of the Gehlen "Org," itself a front for the Odessa--the Nazi SS postwar operational underground.
The program begins with a synoptic, telescoped view of the OUN/B, a key component of the Gehlen "Org," itself a front for the Odessa--the Nazi SS postwar operational underground.
" . . . . His [Gehlen's] FHO was connected in this role with a number of secret fascist organizations in the countries to Germany's east. These included Stepan Bandera's 'B Faction' of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN/B),15Romania's Iron Guard,16 the Ustachis of Yugoslavia,17 the Vanagis of Latvia. . . . The military intelligence historian Colonel William Corson put it most succinctly, 'Gehlen's organization was designed to protect the Odessa Nazis. It amounts to an exceptionally well-orchestrated diversion.'. . ."
The discussion accesses a post Mr. Emory crafted in November of 2015.
Pravy Sektor associate Valentyn Nalyvaichenko had been the head of the SBU (Ukrainian intelligence service) since the Maidan Coup, up until his ouster in June of 2015. Not surprisingly, he had operated the organization along the lines of the OUN/B.
Previously, he had served in that same capacity under Viktor Yuschenko, seeing the outfit as a vehicle for rewriting Ukraine's history in accordance with the historical revisionism favored by the OUN/B.
Very close to Pravy Sektor head Dymitro Yarosh, Nalyvaichenko employed Yarosh while serving in the Ukrainian parliament. Yarosh claims that the two collaborated on "anti-terrorist" operations conducted against ethnic Russians.
Bear in mind that the SBU has been the "cognitive window" through which the events in Ukraine have been processed.
The "serial," cascading amalgamation of Ukrainian fascist national security elements is exemplified by Anton Geraschenko, the spelling of whose name varies. A key operative of the Azov milieu, he not only shepherded "Profexer," the alleged mastermind of the DNC "hack," but may well have been a principal behind the "PropOrNot" list of journalists who were "unacceptable" to the establishment in Ukraine (see below.)
Of paramount importance as well is the role of the SBU, networking with the various OUN/B successor organizations in perpetrating terror against the Ukrainian population.
Do not fail to note former SBU director Nalyvaichenko's links to the CIA and to the U.S., via the George W. Bush administration.
The fawning Western coverage of the Ukraine War may be seen through the lens of Zelensky's "Total War" declaration: " . . . . While Western media homes in on Russian human rights violations at home and inside Ukraine, the Ukrainian government has authorized a propaganda campaign known as 'Total War' that includes the planting of bogus images and false stories to further implicate Russia. . . ."
The OUN/B milieu in the U.S. has apparently been instrumental in generating disinformation vis a vis alleged "Russian" disinformation in U.S. media.
Note that the PropOrNot group may well be an extension of Anton Geraschenko's Myrotvotets hacker/journalist intimidation group.
" . . . One PropOrNot tweet, dated November 17, invokes a 1940s Ukrainian fascist salute “Heroiam Slava!!”[17] to cheer a news item on Ukrainian hackers fighting Russians. The phrase means ‘Glory to the heroes’ and it was formally introduced by the fascist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) at their March-April 1941 congress in Nazi occupied Cracow, as they prepared to serve as Nazi auxiliaries in Operation Barbarossa. . . . 'the OUN-B introduced another Ukrainian fascist salute at the Second Great Congress of the Ukrainian Nationalists in Cracow in March and April 1941. This was the most popular Ukrainian fascist salute and had to be performed according to the instructions of the OUN-B leadership by raising the right arm ‘slightly to the right, slightly above the peak of the head’ while calling ‘Glory to Ukraine!’ (Slava Ukraїni!) and responding ‘Glory to the Heroes!’ (Heroiam Slava!). . . ."
Was "Team Geraschenko" involved in the smearing of Robert Parry, who was defamed by the PropOrNot group?
" . . . . The website, ‘Myrotvorets’ [43] or ‘Peacemaker’—was set up by Ukrainian hackers working with state intelligence and police, all of which tend to share the same ultranationalist ideologies as Parubiy and the newly-appointed neo-Nazi chief of the National Police. . . . The website is designed to frighten and muzzle journalists from reporting anything but the pro-nationalist party line, and it has the backing of government officials, spies and police—including the SBU (Ukraine’s successor to the KGB), the powerful Interior Minister Avakov and his notorious far-right deputy, Anton Geraschenko [closely associated with the Azov Battalion].
"Ukraine’s journalist blacklist website—operated by Ukrainian hackers working with state intelligence—led to a rash of death threats against the doxxed journalists, whose email addresses, phone numbers and other private information was posted anonymously to the website. Many of these threats came with the wartime Ukrainian fascist salute: ‘Slava Ukraini!’ [Glory to Ukraine!] So when PropOrNot’s anonymous ‘researchers’ reveal only their Ukrainian(s) identity, it’s hard not to think about the spy-linked hackers who posted the deadly ‘Myrotvorets’ blacklist of ‘treasonous’ journalists. . . .”
Parry subsequently died of a fast-acting case of cancer.
Anton Geraschenko was also involved in handling "Profexer"--the dubious alleged crafter of the [outdated] software allegedly used in the alleged "hack" of the DNC.
In the latest Patreon talk, recorded on French Election Day, 4/24/2022, we explore the history of French fascism from the transnational corporate links of the early 20th century to the rise of the Front National. Particular emphasis is on the continuity from the Pre-WWII Cagoule, through the SS-aligned Vichy fascist milieu to the operations of the post-WWII fascist international. The talk highlights some of the French fascists in Dallas, Texas, 11/22/1963. Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

The latest Patreon talk highlights the 4/6/2022 UN Security Council discussion, boycotted by the U.S. and U.K. and blacked out in Western media, at which Russia detailed its apparent discoveries of U.S. biological warfare programs in Ukraine. Some of the most startling information concerned "digitized," satellite-monitored migratory birds fitted with capsules of deadly pathogens. When the birds are over a targeted country, they can be killed and the pathogens spread, precipitating an epidemic. A 1960s program run by the U.S. Army and involving migratory birds at an Indian bird sanctuary may have been a precursor to this program.

Exemplifying the disinformation surrounding Ukraine, Russia et al is the remarkable charge that Putin/Russia influenced the outcome of the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton got almost three million more votes than Donald Trump. Putin/Russia did not create the electoral college. Facebook posts from Russia were 40,000 out of 3 trillion posts--a few hundreds of one percent of the posts in that period. THAT influenced the election?!! Cambridge Analytica, Peter Thiel, Facebook, Palantir helped keep potential Clinton voters at home, targeting potential Sanders voters.

In the latest Patreon talk, Mr. Emory delves into manifestations of political lying, with the assassination of President Kennedy as foundation/centerpiece of discussion.

Maintaining the untenable PR façade that the Nazification of Ukraine is a myth, Zelensky showed the “True Yellow and Blue” in a video appearance before the Greek parliament.
Appearing with a member of the Nazi Azov fighting formations, Zelensky manifested the grotesque political reality of which he is part.
“ . . . . On Thursday a major row erupted when Zelensky brought along a Ukrainian soldier of Greek heritage from the city of Mariupol, who just happened to be a member of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment. Greece was under Nazi occupation during World War II and fought a bitter partisan war against Nazism (later to be betrayed by Britain and the United States.). . . . Former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis’ MeRA25 party said the event turned into a ‘Nazi fiesta.’. . .”
Recall that his political patron is Ihor Kolomoisky, who financed Zelensky’s presidential campaign, owns the TV network that boosted him to public prominence, who was a major financier of the Azov Battalion and who owned a controlling interest in Burisma, featuring Hunter Biden on the board of directors.
It was in his position as a Burisma director that Hunter expedited the apparent biological warfare projects overlapping those involved in the “Oswald Institute of Virology.”
That places Hunter Biden in the mix of “The Bandera Institute of Virology,” if you will.
With allegations of Russian war crimes being bandied about and the hyperbole of Joe Biden and others reaching new depths of distortion and dishonesty, we examine a story that raises serious questions about another of the iconic “Russian war crimes” incidents, the “bombing” of the Mariupol maternity hospital.
Note that Mariupol, like Bucha, is defended by Azov/Nazi military units.
“ . . . .The perishing of eyewitnesses to the real events at the maternity hospital is convenient for the Associated Press and Azov Battalion alike. After all, dead people tell no tales. Having anyone able to testify to the on-the-ground reality of incidents such as the dubious theater bombing or the maternity hospital ‘airstrike’ is inherently problematic to the Ukrainian cause. . . .”
“ . . . . And though the AP has had reporters on the ground in Ukraine throughout the conflict with Russia, the organization remains silent about transgressions unfolding right before the eyes of its staff. Case in point: the presence of an AP photographer at the hospital gave it a front row seat for Azov Battalion’s occupation of the facility and its transformation of the site into a base of operations. . . But the agency avoided any mention of this critical piece of context, showing Western audiences what Azov Battalion wants them to see. . . .”
“ . . . . On April 2, within hours of the publication of photos and videos purporting to show victims of an alleged Russian massacre, Ukrainian media reported that specialist units had begun ‘clearing the area of saboteurs and accomplices of Russian troops.’ Nothing was said about dead bodies in the streets. . . . The National Police of Ukraine announced that day that they were ‘cleaning the territory…from the assistants of Russian troops,’ publishing video that showed no corpses in the streets of Bucha and Ukrainian forces in full control of the city. . . .”
Key points of analysis and discussion include: Residents attempting to flee the city were prevented by the authorities from doing so; the maternity hospital had been utilized by the Ukrainian military; despite the strong probability that the hospital was damaged by an artillery shell, AP journalists—apparently embedded with Azov combatants—negated the testimony of hospital patients about the artillery strike; the AP/Azov-embedded journalists propagated the story that the hospital had been hit by a deliberate Russian airstrike; the AP journalist who had been the source of the “Russian airstrike” story had also been at the Maidan and sympathetic to the Nazi-rich milieu involved in that false-flag operation; AP has been distributing Azov photographs; the estimates of the casualties in the maternity hospital incident are wildly inconsistent; there are reports that survivors of the maternity hospital attack may have been taken to the Mariupol drama theater and positioned at the exact place that the “Russian missile” struck in another dubious “Russian war crime;” Western nations have—so far—blocked a Russian request to have the UN investigate the Bucha “war crimes;” Both Azov combatants and Ukrainian police were engaged in “clean-up operations” in which Russian “collaborators” were “dealt with.”
We conclude with analysis of the Georgian Legion, an element of the Ukrainian “Foreign Legion” which is implicated in the false-flag sniper shootings in the Maidan coup and has admitted committing summary executions of Russian POW’s.
The Georgian Legion is not an isolated, eclipsed entity, but rather, one that is led by Mamuka Mamulashvili, networked with adoring U.S. political figures.
“ . . . . In an interview this April, Mamulashvili, was asked about a video showing Russian fighters who had been extrajudicially executed in Dmitrovka, a town just five miles from Bucha. Mamulashvili was candid about his unit’s take-no-prisoners tactics, though he has denied involvement in the specific crimes depicted. ‘We will not take Russian soldiers, as well as Kadyrovites [Chechnyan fighters]; in any case, we will not take prisoners, not a single person will be captured,’ Mamulashvili said, implying that his fighters execute POWs. . . .”
As indicated above, Mamulashvili is implicated in the Maidan false-flag shootings:
“ . . . . [Professor] Ivan Katchanovski, a professor of political science at the University of Ottawa, is among those who believe Mamulashvili’s allies were likely among those who fired on protesters from buildings over Maidan Square, generating bloodshed that was ultimately blamed on Ukraine’s then-government. . . . ‘Testimonies by several Georgian self-admitted members of Maidan sniper groups for the Maidan massacre trial and investigation and their interviews in American, Italian and Israeli TV documentaries and Macedonian and Russian media are generally consistent with findings of my academic studies of the Maidan massacre,’ Katchanovski commented to The Grayzone. . . .”
This discussion will be continued in the next broadcast.
In the most recent presentation on Mr. Emory's Patreon site, we chronicle the evolution of the Azov manifestation from the closing stages of World War II and merging of the Gehlen Org—a front for the Nazi SS—into the CIA.

This program continues coverage of the Ukraine war with particular emphasis on the decisively important overlap between the institutions implicated in the creation of SARS CoV-2 and the Covid-19 "op" and the Pentagon financing of the apparent biological warfare programs in Ukraine.
A remarkable aspect of the Journal's coverage of the WHO's resumption of inquiry into the origins of Covid-19 concerns a development that has been almost completely excised from the Western press: " . . . . For months, China’s government has insisted both in public, and in private meetings with Dr. Tedros, that studies on the origins of the virus should now focus on other countries, such as Italy, or on a U.S. military bioresearch facility in Fort Detrick, Md. Dozens of governments aligned with China have sent Dr. Tedros letters in support of Beijing’s position, a person familiar with the letters said. . . ."
"Dozens of governments?" Which ones? This sounds like a major international dialogue/scandal.
WHY aren't we hearing about it?
Pompeo State Department officials pursuing the lab-leak hypothesis were told to cover it up lest it shed light on U.S. government funding of research at the "Oswald Institute of Virology!": " . . . . In one State Department meeting, officials seeking to demand transparency from the Chinese government say they were explicitly told by colleagues not to explore the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research, because it would bring unwelcome attention to U.S. government funding of it. . . . In an internal memo obtained by Vanity Fair, Thomas DiNanno, former acting assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance, wrote that. . . staff from two bureaus . . . 'warned' leaders within his bureau 'not to pursue an investigation into the origin of COVID-19' because it would ‘open a can of worms’ if it continued.' . . . . As the group probed the lab-leak scenario, among other possibilities, its members were repeatedly advised not to open a 'Pandora’s box,' said four former State Department officials interviewed by Vanity Fair. . . ."
Although heavily spun--as would be expected from a Daily Mail article--this story not only has important implications for the war in Ukraine, but also resonates with our long series on "The Oswald Institute of Virology."
We note that there are significant connections between the agency overseeing the Ukrainian projects and institutions implicated in the apparent "bio-skullduggery" surrounding the U.S. biological warfare gambit involving what Mr. Emory has termed "The Oswald Institute of Virology." This is discussed in: FTR#'s 1157-1159, 1170, 1183 through 1193, and 1215.
The essence of the "Oswald Institute of Virology" gambit concerns the DTRA and Pentagon funding of bat-borne coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, much of it through Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance. Once the research was complete, it resulted in publication which included the genome of the bat viruses being researched. Using technology discussed below, the viruses were then synthesized from scratch and population groups were vectored with the same viral strains being researched by the WIV.
It turns out that Hunter Biden--a member of the board of directors at Burisma--was instrumental in securing funding for EcoHealth Alliance partner Metabiota, described in a screen shot of an e-mail as being "to the DOA what Palantir is to CIA."
Both EcoHealth Alliance and Metabiota have been involved with bat-borne coronavirus at the WIV.
Note that--" . . . . 'His [Hunter Biden's] father was the Vice President of the United States and in charge of relations with Ukraine.' . . ."
Previously we have noted then Vice-President Joe Biden's close relationship with U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt and Ukrainaian fascist Andriy Parubiy during the Maidan coup, which centered on false-flag sniper killings from buildings controlled by Svoboda (formerly the Social National Party of Ukraine, founded by Parubiy.)
Svoboda occupied key positions in the provisional post-Maidan Ukrainian government and wields significant influence to this day.
Highlights of the Discussion:
1.--" . . . . The commander of the Russian Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, claimed there was a 'scheme of interaction between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects' and pointed to the 'financing of such activities by structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is headed by Hunter Biden.'. . ." 2.--" . . . . Moscow’s claim that Hunter Biden helped finance a US military 'bioweapons' research program in Ukraine is at least partially true, according to new emails obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. . . ." 3.--" . . . . emails from Hunter's abandoned laptop show he helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in research on pandemic-causing diseases that could be used as bioweapons. . . ." 4.--" . . . . Metabiota has been an official partner of EcoHealth Alliance since 2014, according to its website. . . ." 5.--" . . . . He also introduced Metabiota to an allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm, Burisma, for a 'science project' involving high biosecurity level labs in Ukraine . . . ." 6.--" . . . . Emails and defense contract data reviewed by DailyMail.com suggest that Hunter had a prominent role in making sure Metabiota was able to conduct its pathogen research just a few hundred miles from the border with Russia. . . ." 7.--" . . . . Metabiota has worked in Ukraine for Black & Veatch, a US defense contractor with deep ties to military intelligence agencies, which built secure labs in Ukraine that analyzed killer diseases and bioweapons. . . ." 8.--" . . . . Hunter was also particularly involved in Metabiota's operations in Ukraine. Hunter's pitches to investors claimed that they not only organized funding for the firm, they also helped it 'get new customers' including 'government agencies in case of Metabiota'. . . ." 9.--" . . . . Former senior CIA officer Sam Faddis, who has reviewed emails on Hunter's laptop, told DailyMail.com that the offer to help assert Ukraine's independence was odd for a biotech executive [Metabiota vice-president Mary Guttieri]. 'It raises the question, what is the real purpose of this venture? It's very odd,' he said. . . ." 10.--" . . . . Guttieri had a leading role in Metabiota's Ukraine operations, meeting with other company executives and US and Ukrainian military officials in October 2016 to discuss 'cooperation in surveillance and prevention of especially dangerous infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases in Ukraine and neighboring countries' according to a 2016 report by the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine. . . ." 11.--" . . . . Four days after Guttieri's April 2014 email, Burisma executive Vadym Pozharskyi wrote to Hunter revealing that the then-Vice President's son had pitched a 'science project' involving Burisma and Metabiota in Ukraine. 'As I understand the Metabiota was a subcontract to principal contactor of the DoD B&V [Black & Veatch]. . . ." 12.--" . . . . Faddis told DailyMail.com that the attempt to get Metabiota to form a partnership with Burisma was a perplexing and worrying revelation. 'His father was the Vice President of the United States and in charge of relations with Ukraine. So why was Hunter not only on the board of a suspect Ukrainian gas firm, but also hooked them up with a company working on bioweapons research?' Faddis said. . . ." 13.--" . . . . 'The DoD position is that . . . . this is pandemic early warning research. We don't know for sure that's all that was going on. . . ." 14.--" . . . . Government spending records show the Department of Defense awarded an $18.4million contract to Metabiota between February 2014 and November 2016, with $307,091 earmarked for 'Ukraine research projects'. . . ." 15.--" . . . . The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) also commissioned B&V to build a Biological Safety Level 3 laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine in 2010, which 'provided enhanced equipment and training to effectively, safely and securely identify especially dangerous pathogens' according to a company press release. Such labs are used to 'study infectious agents or toxins that may be transmitted through the air and cause potentially lethal infections,' the US Department of Health and Human Services says. . . ." 16.--" . . . . In another sign of the deep ties between Metabiota and the Department of Defense, Hunter's RSTP business partner Rob Walker said he would 'have a friend reach out to DoD on the down low', in order to prove the company's bona fides to top prospective investors Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in October 2014. . . ." 17.--" . . . . Metabiota also has close ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), suspected to be the source of the COVID-19 outbreak. WIV was a hotspot for controversial 'gain of function' research that can create super-strength viruses. Chinese scientists performed gain of function research on coronaviruses at the WIV, working alongside a US-backed organization EcoHealth Alliance that has since drawn intense scrutiny over its coronavirus research since the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers from the Wuhan institute, Metabiota and EcoHealth Alliance published a study together in 2014 on infectious diseases from bats in China, which notes that tests were performed at the WIV. Shi Zhengli, the WIV Director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases who became dubbed the 'bat lady' for her central role in bat coronavirus research at the lab, was a contributor to the paper. . . ."
Previously, we have noted the Azov Regiment's proclivity for provocations, including (in all probability) the theater in Mariupol, a city defended by the Azov Regiment. Pentagon analysts--speaking on condition of anonymity--have debunked the MSM echo chamber fabricating stories of indiscriminate targeting of civilians by Russia. So far, the Russian assault appears to have been intentionally restrained for the vast majority of Ukraine. " . . . . ‘We need to understand Russia’s actual conduct,’ says a retired Air Force officer, a lawyer by training who has been involved in approving targets for U.S. fights in Iraq and Afghanistan. The officer currently works as an analyst with a large military contractor advising the Pentagon and was granted anonymity in order to speak candidly. In the analyst’s view . . . the Russian military has actually been showing restraint in its long-range attacks. . . . As of the past weekend, in 24 days of conflict, Russia has flown some 1,400 strike sorties and delivered almost 1,000 missiles (by contrast, the United States flew more sorties and delivered more weapons in the first day of the 2003 Iraq war). . . ."

As discussed in FTR#1236, we noted that there are no longer any international reporters in Mariupol and that the information the world receives about what is going on there comes from the Azov Regiment. "Azov" Zelensky's presidential campaign was largely funded by Azov-financier Igor Kolomoisky, who also owns the TV network on which Zelensky burnished his media chops. (The election monitors for his election were Azov's National Druzhyna Militia.) Max Blumenthal has penned an excellent, and altogether necessary, expose of the Azov Regiment's probable false-flag operation in Mariupol. “ . . . . A closer look reveals that local residents in Mariupol had warned three days before the March 16 incident that the theater would be the site of a false flag attack launched by the openly neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which controlled the building and the territory around it. . . . Civilians that escaped the city through humanitarian corridors have testified that they were held by Azov as human shields in area, and that Azov fighters detonated parts of the theater as they retreated. Despite claims of a massive Russian airstrike that reduced the building to ashes, all civilians appear to have escaped with their lives. . . .” Ukrainian television anchor quotes Adolf Eichmann verbatim in this video from UKRAINE 24.

In the ongoing series about the Ukraine War, Mr. Emory has put forth a metaphor: the war itself and the attendant coverage as a "philosopher's stone" alchemically changing American and Western institutions and individuals into the same political and intellectual fabric of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory.
That institution is an epicenter of Orwellian historical revisionism, rewriting the World War II history of Ukraine in such a way as to whitewash the war crimes of the OUN and UPA. Bandera headed up the OUN/B, the principal Third Reich collaborator during World War II.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi exemplifies that grim political alchemy.
Prior to a video appearance by Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, she greeted Zelensky with the OUN/B salute--which is now the official salute of both the Ukrainian military and police establishments.
" . . . . House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, greet Mr. Zelensky with 'Slava Ukraini!,'—'Glory to Ukraine'—a greeting used by Bandera’s troops. . . .”
Since the Maidan coup in 2014, we have rigorously chronicled the decisive involvement in that event of the Ukrainian fascist milieu that ascended to the pinnacle of power in that benighted country.
The Nazi collaborationist nature of the regime in power in Ukraine is being systematically whitewashed.
Reflecting on the sheer volume of documentation we have presented about the ascent of the OUN/B Nazis collaborators, we present a couple of snapshots from those archives.
First, we note that Andriy Parubiy--founder of the Social National Party of Ukraine (later re-named Svcoboda)--was one of the organizers of the so-called "Orange Revolution" that brought to power Viktor Yuschenko (and his wife, U.C.C.A. operative and Deputy Director of Public Liaison under R0nald Reagan).
His role as "Commander of Maidan" placed him in close contact with then U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. Then Vice-President Joe Biden was networked with Pyatt at the time. Parubiy has been accused of helping to arrange the sniper fire that killed both protesters and police, leading to the ouster of Yanukovych.
" . . . . Parubiy was going in and out of Hotel Ukraina, from where numerous deadly shots were being fired. . . . Parubiy, who, according to former US Vice President Joe Biden, was conferring with the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt throughout the upheavals almost on an hourly basis, has never really had his role in the putsch explained. . . ."
Yuschenko elevated Volodymyr Viatrovych to power, eventually becoming head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory.
On the subject of propaganda and information war in Ukraine, we note that Zelensky is the point man of that information war and that he is a protege of key Azov financier Igor Kolomoisky.
“Azov” Zelensky is the point element in a—thus far—eminently successful information war. The dimension and success of the propaganda crafted and disseminated OUN/B successor elements in charge of Ukraine’s governmental machinery would make Goebbels proud.
Consummately ironic is the meme resoundingly echoed in this country that PUTIN is waging an information war of lies!
The derisive dismissal of Russian claims concerning animal vectors positioned in Ukraine to deliver biological weapons into Russia ignore critical information.
In addition to the fact that we have developed exhaustive documentation of U.S. authorship of the Covid-19, indicative of a U.S. willingness to employ biological warfare in pursuit of its strategic objectives, Nick Turse chronicled the development of mammalian, reptilian, aquatic and insect life forms as adjuncts to warfare.
This book was published in 2008!
As discussed in FTR#1235, documents removed by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine--but archived by the Wayback Machine--confirm that the DTRA is among the sources of funding for DOD-financed labs in Ukraine.
We note that there are significant connections between the agency overseeing the Ukrainian projects and institutions implicated in the apparent "bio-skullduggery" surrounding the U.S. biological warfare gambit involving what Mr. Emory has termed "The Oswald Institute of Virology."

Using technology discussed below, the viruses were then synthesized from scratch and population groups were vectored with the same viral strains being researched by the WIV.
One must ask the question, also, as to why the Embassy suddenly removed these documents?
A critical understanding of the virulent, overwhelming lying in which the Ukrainian government is engaging can be gleaned from Mariupol. That city is in control of the Nazi Azov regiment, who control the flow of information from the besieged metropolis.
With Zelensky—a protégé of major Azov financier Igor Kolomoisky—parroting the Nazi formation’s rhetoric and being uncritically accepted by Ukraine’s, it can be said that the West, Biden’s USA in particular, belongs to the lie.
The pronouncements coming out of Mariupol should be understood in the circumstantial context of the fact that all of the international reporters are out of the city.
In addition, the fact that reportage reaching the West has been buttressed by hand-picked advocates of the Zelensky regime should be factored into analysis of the credibility of the battlefield reportage reaching the U.S.
An excellent piece of reporting by Max Blumenthal for the Gray Zone. Noting “Azov” Zelensky’s hyperbole about the “Russian bombing” of the drama theater in Mariupol—Blumenthal reports on local residents’ voluminous accounts of an Azov provocation. Far from being “indiscriminately” bombed by the Russians, Azov appears to have planted and detonated explosive charges, destroying the theater.
Note that the Ukrainian charge of Russia attacking a Turkish mosque was Azov/Zelensky propaganda as well.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this disinformation is the apparent attempt by “Team Azov” to draw the U.S. and NATO into direct conflict with Russia by creating imaginary atrocities, which—thus far—have been uncritically accepted by the West.

This program continues analysis of the Ukraine war. The title of this series comes from Mort Sahl, who voiced the question in his autobiography.
Charges and counter-charges in the ongoing Ukraine war surround Pentagon-financed "veterinary" and other biological laboratories in Ukraine.
We note that there are significant connections between the agency overseeing the Ukrainian projects and institutions implicated in the apparent "bio-skullduggery" surrounding the U.S. biological warfare gambit involving what Mr. Emory has termed "The Oswald Institute of Virology." This is discussed in: FTR#'s 1170, 1183 through 1193, and 1215.
The essence of the "Oswald Institute of Virology" gambit concerns the DTRA and Pentagon funding of bat-borne coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, much of it through Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance. Once the research was complete, it resulted in publication which included the genome of the bat viruses being researched. Using technology discussed below, the viruses were then synthesized from scratch and population groups were vectored with the same viral strains being researched by the WIV.
Just as Lee Harvey Oswald was set up to look like a communist before being framed for JFK's murder, so, too the "Oswald Institute of Virology" was set up to take the blame for the coronavirus pandemic.
Essential background information to evaluate the debate:
1.--The alleged difference between "offensive" and "defensive" biological warfare research is academic: If one if researching how "wee beasties" infect, sicken and/or kill plants, animals or humans, it is the same research, whatever terminology one uses. 2.--Contemporary technology makes it possible to synthesize deadly pathogens from scratch: " . . . . Advances in the area mean that scientists now have the capability to recreate dangerous viruses from scratch; make harmful bacteria more deadly; and modify common microbes so that they churn out lethal toxins once they enter the body. Today, the genetic code of almost any mammalian virus can be found online and synthesised. 'The technology to do this is available now,' said [Michael] Imperiale. 'It requires some expertise, but it’s something that’s relatively easy to do, and that is why it tops the list.' . . ." 3.--The essential parameters of the fact finding: " . . . . So do bio labs exist inside Ukraine, and is the US supporting them? Yes, and yes. Ukraine does operate biological laboratories which receive US funding. . . ." 4.--" . . . . Do the Ukraine laboratories store dangerous biological agents? Yes, it appears so. [!] As part of their work researching diseases the bio labs do seem to hold dangerous pathogens. . . ."
The debate centers on U.S. Pentagon-financed laboratories in Ukraine. Note that the laboratories are described as "veterinary laboratories"--the Pentagon is in the business of war-fighting, which essentially consists of killing people and destroying property. They are not in the business of taking care of puppy dogs and kitty cats. Veterinarians are viewed as optimum for biological warfare work, because they do not have to take the Hippocratic Oath.
Key considerations in the controversy:
1.--" . . . . [Robert Pope, the director of the Pentagon’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program] noted that some of the facilities may contain pathogens once used for Soviet-era bioweapons programs, but he emphasized that the Ukrainian labs currently did not have the ability to manufacture bioweapons. . . . In a March interview with the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists . . . . He spoke specifically about the Pentagon’s support of 14 veterinary laboratories that provide Ukraine with sampling and diagnostic abilities to detect infectious diseases. . . ." 2.--The Pentagon's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program is part of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. the former was involved in researching bats and deadly pathogens: " . . . . the U.S. military — specifically the Department of Defense’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program — began funding research involving bats and deadly pathogens, including the coronaviruses MERS and SARS, a year prior in 2017. . . ." 3.--Peter Daszak--of Ukrainian heritage--heads the EcoHealth Alliance, the largest military contractor receiving funds from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency: " . . . . Meticulous investigation of U.S. government databases reveals that Pentagon funding for the EcoHealth Alliance from 2013 to 2020, including contracts, grants and subcontracts, was just under $39 million. Most, $34.6 million, was from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), which is a branch of the DOD which states it is tasked to 'counter and deter weapons of mass destruction and improvised threat networks.'. . ." 4.--Further review of Shi's research funding [at the Wuhan Institute of Virology] from the Pentagon, via EcoHealth Alliance: " . . . . Shi Zhengli and her collaborators are also funded by the U.S. military. Peter Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance currently receives more money from the Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for Scientific Research Combatting Weapons of Mass Destruction than any other military contractor—$15 million (25.575 percent) of the $60.2 million dispersed in the last 6 months. . . ." 5.--The DTRA funding of bat-borne coronovirus research at WIV gains further gravitas: “. . . . A Google Scholar search produced two papers Shi has published that lists DTRA as a funder. To see how the first paper, 'Comparative Analysis of Bat Genomes Provides Insight into the Evolution of Flight and Immunity,' is relevant to biological weaponry, it helps to understand the military’s interest in bat immunity. . . ."
Documents removed by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine--but archived by the Wayback Machine--confirm that the DTRA is among the sources of funding for DOD-funded labs in Ukraine. Note, too, the fact that many of these labs are "veterinary" labs. Veterinarians are highly-regarded for biological warfare recruitment, because they do not have to sign the Hippocratic Oath.
One must ask the question, also, as to why the Embassy suddenly removed these documents? The West--in this case a highly-placed Colonel in the UK's CBW establishment--are echoing the verbiage about Russian "false-flag" possibilities.
In light of the West's false flag operations in the last ten years, that should alert us to the possibility of Russia being set up for a Ukraine/U.S. biological warfare false-flag.
The overall theme of the programs to be presented in this long series is captured in an observation made by Glenn Pinchback.
In 1961, the Joint Chiefs were pushing for a first strike on the Soviet Union--a decision to initiate nuclear war. JFK refused, walking out of the discussion with the disgusted observation that "We call ourselves the human race."
In FTR #'s 876, 926 and 1051, we examined the creation of the meme that Oswald had been networking with the Cubans and Soviets in the run-up to the assassination. In particular, Oswald was supposedly meeting with Valery Kostikov, a KGB official in charge of assassinations in the Western Hemisphere.
This created the pretext for blaming JFK's assassination on the Soviet Union and/or Cuba. There are indications that JFK's assassination may well have been intended as a pretext for a nuclear first strike on the Soviet Union.
This program continues our coverage of the Ukraine War, embodied by the quote from Mort Sahl that is the title of this series.
We begin with an article which embodies Mr. Emory's analysis of the war and its attendant coverage as a "philosopher's stone," effecting an alchemical transformation of the U.S., the West in general and most of the people and institutions in them into what might be called "the embodiment of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory."
Golinkin penned an op-ed piece for The New York Times in which he mentioned none of what he spoke about three years ago. Instead, he repeated anti-Soviet and/or anti-Russian material which is practically institutionalized at this point.
At the end of his Nation piece, Golinkin gave voice to a very important insight: " . . . . By tolerating neo-Nazi gangs and battalions, state-led Holocaust distortion, and attacks on LGBT and the Roma, the United States is telling the rest of Europe: 'We’re fine with this.' The implications—especially at a time of a global far-right revival—are profoundly disturbing. . . ."
Note also, that the Ukraine Institute of National Memory has designated the members of the SS Galician Division (pictured at right, below, as victims: " . . . . The recuperation even extends to SS Galichina, a Ukrainian division of the Waffen-SS; the director of the Institute of National Memory proclaimed that the SS fighters were 'war victims.'. . . ."
Oleh Tihanybok, leader of the OUN/B successor organization Svoboda.
Points of analysis and discussion in Golinkin's older work include:
- The elevation of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that was formally incorporated into Ukraine’s armed forces yet remains a neo-Nazi battalion.
- Azov is now engaged in policing with its National Druzhina street patrol units that have engaged in anti-Roma pogroms.
- Azov’s campaign to turn Ukraine into an international hub of white supremacy.
- Andriy Parubiy’s role in creating Ukraine’s Nazi Party that he continues to embrace and that’s routinely ignored as he has become the parliament speaker.
- The deputy minister of the Interior—which controls the National Police—is a veteran of Azov, Vadim Troyan.
- Government sponsorship of historical revisionism and holocaust denial though agencies like Ukrainian Institute of National Memory. It is now illegal to speak unfavorably of the OUN/B or the UPA, both of which were Nazi collaborationist organizations with bloody, lethal histories.
- Torchlight parades are now normal.
- Within several years, an entire generation will be indoctrinated to worship Holocaust perpetrators as national heroes.
- Books that criticize the now-glorified WWII Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera are getting banned.
- Public officials make threats against Ukraine’s Jewish community with no repercussions.
- The neo-Nazi C14’s street patrol gangs are both responsible for anti-Roma pogroms and also the recipient of government funds to run a children’s educational camp. Last October, C14 leader Serhiy Bondar was welcomed at America House Kyiv, a center run by the US government.
- It’s open season on the LGBT community and far right groups routinely attack LGBT gatherings.
- Ukraine is extremely dangerous for journalists and the government has supported the doxxing and intimidation of journalist by the far right like Myrovorets group.
- The government is trying to repeal laws protecting the many minority languages used in Ukraine.
And yet, as the article notes at the end, its many examples were just a small sampling of what has transpired in Ukraine since 2014:
A subsidiary of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency oversees 14 Pentagon-financed "Veterinary" Labs in Ukraine. DTRA deeply involved with Pentagon-financed EcoHealth Alliance's gain-of-function research on bat-borne coronaviruses at what Mr. Emory calls "The Oswald Institute of Virology."

This program continues our coverage of the Ukraine War.
We begin by highlighting a full-page ad in the New York Times, attacking Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
"Nobel Laureates Support Ukraine;" Full Page Ad in The New York Times; 3/10/2022; p. A7 [Western Edition]. The ad was paid for by the Ukrainian World Congress.
As noted in previous programs: " . . . . In 1967, the World Congress of Free Ukrainians was founded in New York City by supporters of Andriy Melnyk. [The head of the OUN-M, also allied with Nazi Germany.--D.E.] It was renamed the Ukrainian World Congress in 1993. In 2003, the Ukrainian World Congress was recognized by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as an NGO with special consultative status. It now appears as a sponsor of the Atlantic Council . . . . The continuity of institutional and individual trajectories from Second World War collaborationists to Cold War-era anti-communist organizations to contemporary conservative U.S. think tanks is significant for the ideological underpinnings of today’s Intermarium revival. . . ."
Mr. Emory takes note of a PBS Newshour interview with Artem Semenikhin of the neo-Nazi Svoboda party. Portraying him as an anti-Russian hero, the program does not note that the portrait of OUN/B leader Stephan Bandera is clearly visible in the background, despite the Zoom blurring effect.
Next, we tackle "Volodymyr Zelensky and the 'Jewish Question.'" (This is a grim pun. "The Jewish Question" was the Third Reich's euphemism for the impending "Final Solution" to "The Jewish Question.")
The altogether valid Russian military goal of the invasion was "De-Nazification." That justification has been attacked as a ruse by using Zelensky's Jewish affiliation as a rebuttal.
In that regard we note:
1.--" . . . . Zelensky’s top financial backer, the Ukrainian Jewish oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, has been a key benefactor of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and other extremists militias. . . . Igor Kolomoisky, a Ukrainian energy baron of Jewish heritage, has been a top funder of Azov since it was formed in 2014. He has also bankrolled private militias like the Dnipro and Aidar Battalions, and has deployed them as a personal thug squad to protect his financial interests. . . ." 2.--" . . . . Though Zelensky made anti-corruption the signature issue of his campaign, the Pandora Papers exposed him and members of his inner circle stashing large payments from Kolomoisky in a shadowy web of offshore accounts. . . ." 3.--" . . . . They are the ultranationalist National Militia, street vigilantes with roots in the battle-tested Azov Battalion that emerged to defend Ukraine against Russia-backed separatists but was also accused of possible war crimes and neo-Nazi sympathies. Yet despite the controversy surrounding it, the National Militia was granted permission by the Central Election Commission to officially monitor Ukraine’s presidential election on March 31. . . ." 4.--" . . . . In March 2019, members of the Azov Battalion’s National Corps attacked the home of Viktor Medvedchuk, the leading opposition figure in Ukraine, accusing him of treason for his friendly relations with Vladimir Putin, the godfather of Medvedchuk’s daughter. Zelensky’s administration escalated the attack on Medvedchuk, shuttering several media outlets he controlled in February 2021 with the open approval of the U.S. State Department, and jailing the opposition leader for treason three months later. Zelensky justified his actions on the grounds that he needed to 'fight against the danger of Russian aggression in the information arena.' Next, in August 2020, Azov’s National Corps opened fire on a bus containing members of Medvedchuk’s party, Patriots for Life, wounding several with rubber-coated steel bullets. . . ." 5.--" . . . . According to one Greek resident in Mariupol recently interviewed by a Greek news station, 'When you try to leave you run the risk of running into a patrol of the Ukrainian fascists, the Azov Battalion,' he said, adding 'they would kill me and are responsible for everything.' Footage posted online appears to show uniformed members of a fascist Ukrainian militia in Mariupol violently pulling fleeing residents out of their vehicles at gunpoint. Other video filmed at checkpoints around Mariupol showed Azov fighters shooting and killing civilians attempting to flee. . . ."
Jewish identity is not relevant to the situation as the Bormann group's business operations have included Jewish participants as a matter of strategic intent. In turn, this has given the Bormann organization considerable influence in Israel.
" . . . . I spoke with one Jewish businessman in Hartford, Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown several years before our conversation, but with Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the community with a certain share of his profits earmarked, as always, for his venture capital benefactors. This has taken place in many other instances across America and demonstrates how Bormann's people operate in the contemporary commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much 'literature.' So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish participation in Bormann companies that when Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. . . ."
Next, we conclude with an article which embodies Mr. Emory's analysis of the war and its attendant coverage as a "philosopher's stone," effecting an alchemical transformation of the U.S., the West in general and most of the people and institutions in them into what might be called "the embodiment of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory."
Golinkin penned an op-ed piece for The New York Times in which he mentioned none of what he spoke about three years ago. Instead, he repeated anti-Soviet and/or anti-Russian material which is practically institutionalized at this point.
At the end of his Nation piece, Golinkin gave voice to a very important insight: " . . . . By tolerating neo-Nazi gangs and battalions, state-led Holocaust distortion, and attacks on LGBT and the Roma, the United States is telling the rest of Europe: “We’re fine with this.” The implications—especially at a time of a global far-right revival—are profoundly disturbing. . . ."
Points of analysis and discussion in Golinkin's older work include:
- The elevation of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that was formally incorporated into Ukraine’s armed forces yet remains a neo-Nazi battalion.
- Azov is now engaged in policing with its National Druzhina street patrol units that have engaged in anti-Roma pogroms.
- Azov’s campaign to turn Ukraine into an international hub of white supremacy.
- Andriy Parubiy’s role in creating Ukraine’s Nazi Party that he continues to embrace and that’s routinely ignored as he has become the parliament speaker.
- The deputy minister of the Interior—which controls the National Police—is a veteran of Azov, Vadim Troyan.
- Government sponsorship of historical revisionism and holocaust denial though agencies like Ukrainian Institute of National Memory. It is now illegal to speak unfavorably of the OUN/B or the UPA, both of which were Nazi collaborationist organizations with bloody, lethal histories.
- Torchlight parades are now normal.
- Within several years, an entire generation will be indoctrinated to worship Holocaust perpetrators as national heroes.
- Books that criticize the now-glorified WWII Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera are getting banned.
- Public officials make threats against Ukraine’s Jewish community with no repercussions.
- The neo-Nazi C14’s street patrol gangs are both responsible for anti-Roma pogroms and also the recipient of government funds to run a children’s educational camp. Last October, C14 leader Serhiy Bondar was welcomed at America House Kyiv, a center run by the US government.
- It’s open season on the LGBT community and far right groups routinely attack LGBT gatherings.
- Ukraine is extremely dangerous for journalists and the government has supported the doxxing and intimidation of journalist by the far right like Myrovorets group.
- The government is trying to repeal laws protecting the many minority languages used in Ukraine.
And yet, as the article notes at the end, its many examples were just a small sampling of what has transpired in Ukraine since 2014:
We continue our coverage of the war in Ukraine.
President Putin has been portrayed as a "madman" in the West. As we have seen, his stated war goal of "De-Nazification" is altogether relevant and valid.
The article below is summed up as follows: " . . . . After a 'New York Times' reporter grossly distorted what Putin and Zelensky have said and done about nuclear weapons, Steven Starr corrects the record and deplores Western media, in general, for misinforming and leading the entire world in a dangerous direction. . . ."
His claim that Ukraine was seeking nuclear weapons also is substantive.
Mr. Emory has stated that he think that Putin fell into a well-laid trap, a European iteration of the Afghanistan gambit, in which Zbigniew Brzezinski lured the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan, in order to give them their "Vietnam." Together with the deliberate collapse of petroleum prices, that war helped topple the U.S.S.R.
(Ian Brzezinski, Zbigniew's son, is a key member of the Atlantic Council--one of the major vehicles for the OUN/B milieu's activities in the U.S.)
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis:
1.--One element of the baited trap was Ukraine moving to gain either "nukes or Nato membership. If, for the sake of argument, Ukraine became a member of NATO, then they could develop nukes with impunity, because a Russian attack would trigger World War Three. " . . . . In other words, the Budapest Memorandum was expressly about Ukraine giving up its nukes and not becoming a nuclear weapon state in the future. Zelensky’s speech at Munich made it clear that Ukraine was moving to repudiate the Budapest Memorandum; Zelensky essentially stated that Ukraine must be made a member of NATO, otherwise it would acquire nuclear weapons. . . ." 2.--" . . . . So, when the leader of Ukraine essentially threatens to obtain nuclear weapons, this is most certainly considered to be an existential threat to Russia. That is why Putin focused on this during his speech preceding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Sanger and The New York Times must discount a Ukrainian nuclear threat; they can get away with doing so because they have systematically omitted news pertaining to this for many years. . . ." 3.--There has been no more alarming development in the war than the Russian combat around Ukraine's nuclear facilities. The significance of that combat comes into clear view in light of the following, which shows that this is not mere reckless behavior on the part of Russia. " . . . . Ukraine has plenty of plutonium, which is commonly used to make nuclear weapons today; eight years ago Ukraine held more than 50 tons of plutonium in its spent fuel assemblies stored at its many nuclear power plants (probably considerably more today, as the reactors have continued to run and produce spent fuel). Once plutonium is reprocessed/separated from spent nuclear fuel, it becomes weapons usable. Putin noted that Ukraine already has missiles that could carry nuclear warheads, and they certainly have scientists capable of developing reprocessing facilities and building nuclear weapons. In his Feb. 21 televised address, Putin said Ukraine still has the infrastructure leftover from Soviet days to build a bomb. . . ." 4.--" . . . . 'Ukraine has the nuclear technologies created back in the Soviet times and delivery vehicles for such weapons, including aircraft, as well as the Soviet-designed Tochka-U precision tactical missiles with a range of over 100 kilometers.' . . ." 5.--Another element of the baited trap was an apparent Ukrainian military buildup at the border of the breakaway provinces in the East. " . . . . The New York Times, in its overall coverage, chose not to report that the Ukrainian forces had deployed half of its army, about 125,000 troops, to its border with Donbass by the beginning of 2022. . . ." 6.--Historical background to the secession bid: " . . . . both the provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk in the Donbass region voted for independence from Ukraine in 2014 in resistance to a U.S.-backed coup that overthrew the elected president Viktor Yanukovych in February of that year. The independence vote came just eight days after neo-Nazis burned dozens of ethnic Russians alive in Odessa. To crush their bid for independence, the new U.S.-installed Ukrainian government then launched an “anti-terrorist” war against the provinces, with the assistance of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which had taken part in the coup. It is a war that is still going on eight years later, a war that Russia has just entered. . . ." 7.--" . . . . For years the U.S. proclaimed that the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) facilities it was placing in Romania and Poland, on the Russian border, were to protect against an “Iranian threat,” even though Iran had no nuclear weapons or missiles that could reach the U.S. But the dual-use Mark 41 launching systems used in the Aegis Ashore BMD facilities can be used to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles, and will be fitted with SM-6 missiles that, if armed with nuclear warheads, could hit Moscow in five-to-six minutes. Putin explicitly warned journalists about this danger in 2016; Russia included the removal of the U.S. BMD facilities in Romania and Poland in its draft treaties presented to the U.S. and NATO last December. . . ."
Next, we tackle "Volodymyr Zelensky and the 'Jewish Question.'" (This is a grim pun. "The Jewish Question" was the Third Reich's euphemism for the impending "Final Solution" to "The Jewish Question.")
The altogether valid Russian military goal of the invasion was "De-Nazification" has been attacked as a ruse using Zelensky's Jewish affiliation as a rebuttal.

Putin's stated war aim of "De-Nazification" has been scorned by Western critics who cite president Zelensky's Jewish identity. In effect, this ironically utilizes a Nazi iteration of identity politics: "He can't be a Nazi, because he is a Jew." In that context we note: 1)--" . . . . Zelensky’s top financial backer, the Ukrainian Jewish oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, has been a key benefactor of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and other extremists militias. . . . Kolomoisky, . . . has been a top funder of Azov since it was formed in 2014. . . ." 2)--The election monitors of Zelensky's bid were drawn from the Azov Battalion's National Druzhina Militia: " . . . .

This program continues analysis of the war in Ukraine.
As mentioned by Mr. Emory in the last program, the war and its attendant coverage has had the effect of the mythological "Philosophers' Stone" of the alchemists, creating an alchemical transformation of this country, its political culture and citizenry, the EU and UK, their political cultures and citizenry and much of the world into the Orwellian historical perversion being enacted by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory.
In numerous broadcasts, we have noted the Orwellian rewrite of Ukrainian history to deny the perpetrators of the Holocaust in that country and whitewash the Nazi-allied OUN/B and UPA.
An article in Foreign Policy (published by "The Washington Post" and consequently VERY mainstream), further develops the activities of Volodymyr Viatrovych, appointed as head of the Institute of National memory by Viktor Yuschenko and then re-appointed by Petro Petroshenko.
After the Yushcneko government left power and prior to the Maidan coup, Viatrovych was in the U.S., working as a fellow at Harvard University's Ukrainian Research Institute. This is in line with the fundamental role of the OUN/B-based American emigre community in the generation of the Orange Revolution and the Maidan coup.
" . . . . During this period Viatrovych spent time in North America on a series of lecture tours, as well as a short sojourn as a research fellow at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute (HURI). He also continued his academic activism, writing books and articles promoting the heroic narrative of the OUN-UPA. In 2013 he tried to crash and disrupt a workshop on Ukrainian and Russian nationalism taking place at the Harriman Institute at Columbia. When the Maidan Revolution swept Yanukovych out of power in February 2014, Viatrovych returned to prominence. . . ."
Recall that Yuschenko married the former Ykaterina Chumachenko--Reagan's Deputy Director of Public Liaison and a key operative of the OUN/B's American front organiztion the U.C.C.A.--and had Roman Zvarych (Jaroslav Stetsko's personal secretary in the early 1980's) as his Minister of Justice.
Note, also, that Serhiy Kvit, the Ukrainian Minister of Education is a bird of the same feather as Viatrovych. " .
. . . . Last June, Kvit’s Ministry of Education issued a directive to teachers regarding the “necessity to accentuate the patriotism and morality of the activists of the liberation movement,” including depicting the UPA as a 'symbol of patriotism and sacrificial spirit in the struggle for an independent Ukraine” and Bandera as an 'outstanding representative' of the Ukrainian people. . . .' ”
The measure of the revisionism underway in Ukraine can be gauged by this: ". . . . UPA supreme commander Dmytro Kliachkivs’kyi explicitly stated: 'We should carry out a large-scale liquidation action against Polish elements. During the evacuation of the German Army, we should find an appropriate moment to liquidate the entire male population between 16 and 60 years old.' Given that over 70 percent of the leading UPA cadres possessed a background as Nazi collaborators, none of this is surprising. . . ."
It is depressing and remarkable to see such elements being portrayed as "heroic!"
Additional perspective on the physical, political and historical reality underlying Viatrovych's revisionism is the massacre of the 600 residents of the Polish town of Janowa Dolina by the UPA. " . . . . On the night of April 22–23 (Good Friday), 1943, the Ukrainians from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, together with local peasants, attacked Janowa Dolina. Some 600 people, including children and the elderly, were brutally murdered (see Massacres of Poles in Volhynia). Most homes were burned to the ground and the settlement deserted. The perpetrators, commanded by Ivan Lytwynchuk (aka Dubowy) exercised rare cruelty. Poles, unprepared and caught by surprise, were hacked to death with axes, burned alive, and impaled (including children). The murderers did not spare anyone, regardless of age and sex. German garrison, numbering around 100 soldiers, did not act and remained in its barracks. After the first wave of murders, the Ukrainian nationalists started searching the hospital. They carried its Ukrainian patients away from the building, while Polish patients were burned alive.[2] Dr Aleksander Bakinowski, together with his assistant Jan Borysowicz, were hacked to death on the square in front of the hospital. In several cases, Ukrainians were murdered for trying to hide their Polish neighbours. Petro Mirchuk, Ukrainian historian, counted several hundred massacred Poles, with only eight UPA members killed. . . ."
The overall them of this series is encapsulated in a letter from Glenn Pinchback--an Operations Officer at Fort Sill, Oklahoma to Jim Garrison in connection with the latter's investigation of the assassination of JFK.
. . . . Garrison also obtained a transcript of a letter written by Ferrie to Baragona. Next to Baragona's name, Garrison wrote: "Note Baragona is important." The letter had been sent to Garrison by Glenn Pinchback, and a carbon copy was sent to Mendel Rivers, a congressman from Georgia. (Pinchback worked in the Operations Command at Fort Sill, where he intercepted mail.) In the letter, Ferrie shared his dream of the re-unification of Germany and living in a world where all the currency was in Deutschmarks. Pinchback's summation of the letter described a "Neo-Nazi plot to enslave America in the name of anti-Communism," and "a neo-Nazi plot gargantuan in scope."
In conclusion, the feelings I have are best expressed through a poem I have read in a number of programs:
"Be Angry at the Sun" by Robinson Jeffers
That public men publish falsehoods Is nothing new. That America must accept Like the historical republics corruption and empire Has been known for years.
Be angry at the sun for setting If these things anger you. Watch the wheel slope and turn, They are all bound on the wheel, these people, those warriors. This republic, Europe, Asia.
Observe them gesticulating, Observe them going down. The gang serves lies, the passionate Man plays his part; the cold passion for truth Hunts in no pack.
You are not Catullus, you know, To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far From Dante's feet, but even farther from his dirty Political hatreds.
Let boys want pleasure, and men Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame, And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped. Yours is not theirs.
A former member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Steven Starr has presented a very, very important article, documenting that Zelensky has, indeed, been talking of possessing nuclear weapons. Putin's war aims of "De-Nazification" and "De-militarization" appear to be rooted in unpleasant fact. The thought of the Nazi elements that lurk behind the "Jewish" façade of president Zelenzky possessing nukes is terrifying. Starr's article also gives insight into why Russian forces are initiating combat around Ukrainian nuclear sites. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE.

Continuing analysis of the Ukraine War and the ascent of the OUN/B Nazi collaborators to positions of power in Ukraine, we note the following:
1.--Actor Ashton Kutcher tweeted support for Ukraine, where his wife, Mila Kunis, was born. 2.--". . . . A Member of the Ukrainian Parliament from the far-right Svoboda Party [Igor Miroshnichenko] … sneeringly proclaimed that [Kunis] was not Ukrainian but a zhydovka. This deeply hurtful slur for a Jew was an alarming gutter effort to inject Jew-hatred into the acceptable bounds of mainstream Ukrainian discourse. . . ." 3.--Many key ministerial posts in the new Ukrainian government have been filled by Swoboda and Pravy Sektor, the political heirs to the OUN/B. The supervision of the military and the judicial process is under the sway of those parties. " . . . . The man facing down Putin’s aggression as secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defence Council is Andriy Parubiy. He oversees national security for the nation having previously served as security commandant during the anti-government protests in Kiev. . . . Overseeing the armed forces alongside Parubiy as the Deputy Secretary of National Security is Dmytro Yarosh, the leader of the Right Sector . . . .The new Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Sych is a member of the far-right Svoboda party . . . . Svoboda now controls the ecology and agricultural ministry with Andriy Mokhnyk, the deputy head of Svoboda, running ecology and Ihor Shvaika as agriculture minister. . . . 'There are seven ministers with links to the extreme right now. It began with Svoboda getting 10 per cent of the vote in the last election, it is certainly a concern in the long run.' . . . . Svoboda member Oleh Makhnitsky is now acting prosecutor general. . . ." 4.--Vasily Vovk (the Ukrainian intelligence officer in charge of the investigation of the shoot-down of MH 17) summed up the findings of his "investigation": " . . . . 'I am confident that this missile system was delivered from the territory of the Russian Federation with a high-skilled crew — most likely a crew of well-trained officers, of course from Russian territory,' he said. . . ." 5.--A more complete understanding of Vovk's political inclinations can be gleaned from this: " . . . .Vovk – a general who holds a senior reserve rank with the Security Service of Ukraine, the local successor to the KGB – wrote that Jews 'aren’t Ukrainians and I will destroy you along with [Ukrainian oligarch and Jewish lawmaker Vadim] Rabinovych. I’m telling you one more time – go to hell, zhidi [kikes], the Ukrainian people have had it to here with you.' 'Ukraine must be governed by Ukrainians,' he wrote. . . ." 6.--The Azov Battalion's National Druzhyna militia was awarded the job of election monitoring by the Ukrainian government in their recent elections. " . . . . They are the ultranationalist National Militia, street vigilantes with roots in the battle-tested Azov Battalion that emerged to defend Ukraine against Russia-backed separatists but was also accused of possible war crimes and neo-Nazi sympathies. Yet despite the controversy surrounding it, the National Militia was granted permission by the Central Election Commission to officially monitor Ukraine’s presidential election on March 31. . . ." 7.--Azov has gained influence within the Ministry of the Interior through Vadim Troyan, the former deputy commander of Azov who is now deputy minister of the interior. " . . . . The deputy minister of the Interior—which controls the National Police—is Vadim Troyan, a veteran of Azov and Patriot of Ukraine. . . . Today, he’s deputy of the department running US-trained law enforcement in the entire nation. Earlier this month, RFE reported on National Police leadership admiring Stepan Bandera—a Nazi collaborator and Fascist whose troops participated in the Holocaust—on social media. The fact that Ukraine’s police is peppered with far-right supporters explains why neo-Nazis operate with impunity on the streets. . . ." 8.--There has been a series of suspicious deaths of opposition political figures and critics of the Poroshenko/Maidan regime in Ukraine. One wonders of the "European Union values" supposedly being manifested in Ukraine includes systematic political assassination of the opposition, a possibility that must be considered in this context. Recall that the deputy commander of the Azov Battalion became chief of police in Kiev in this time frame. 9.--There is no more significant aspect of the "Azov manifestation" than the Azov-sponsored ISG conferences, which have included national security figures from neighboring countries who--apparently--share Azov's geopolitical orientation. " . . . . a large share of the foreign speakers from Poland, Lithuania, and Croatia had a (para-)military background, among them advisor to the Polish Defence Minister Jerzy Targalski and retired Brigadier General of the Croatian Armed Forces Bruno Zorica.[156] Among the talking points of Polish military educator Damien Duda were 'methods of the preparation of a military reserve in youth organizations' and the 'importance of paramilitary structures within the framework of the defence complex of a modern state.' . . . It also included 'military attaches of diplomatic missions from the key countries in the region (Poland, Hungary, Romania and Lithuania). . . ." 10.--In numerous broadcasts, we have noted the Orwellian rewrite of Ukrainian history to deny the perpetrators of the Holocaust in that country and whitewash the Nazi-allied OUN/B and UPA. We conclude the program with introductory discussion of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory. We will continue with this analysis in the next program.
Ashton Kutcher is married to fellow thespian Mila Kunis, who was born in Ukraine. Kutcher tweeted "I stand with Ukraine." Almost exactly nine years ago " . . . . A Member of the Ukrainian Parliament from the far-right Svoboda Party [Igor Miroshnichenko] … sneeringly proclaimed that [Kunis] was not Ukrainian but a zhydovka. This deeply hurtful slur for a Jew was an alarming gutter effort to inject Jew-hatred into the acceptable bounds of mainstream Ukrainian discourse. . . . The most disturbing aspect of the story was the reaction from the Ukrainian ministry, which claimed that there is nothing wrong with calling Kunis the female version of a 'dirty Jew,' because the word is in their dictionary. . . ."

In December of 2021, the U.N. voted 130-2 on a motion to condemn celebrations of Nazism. Only the U.S. and Ukraine voted against it. The EU and UK abstained.
" . . . . 'By its terms, the Assembly expressed deep concern about the glorification of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism and former members of the Waffen SS organization, including by erecting monuments and memorials, holding public demonstrations in the name of the glorification of the Nazi past, the Nazi movement and neo-Nazism, and declaring or attempting to declare such members and those who fought against the anti-Hitler coalition, collaborated with the Nazi movement and committed war crimes and crimes against humanity ‘participants in national liberation movements’. . . ."
Look at the picture at right:
That embodies the political dynamic underlying the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
The first two of a number of programs that will deal with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, these programs begin the detailed documentation of the ascent of the OUN/B successor groups to positions of power in the national security, police, educational and political establishments in Ukraine.
These program will highlight and recap the exhaustive documentation presented over the roughly eight-year period since the Maidan coup, documenting the OUN/B Nazi dominance in Ukraine.
Note that Putin's stated war aim: "De-Nazification" is not only substantively relevant, but just.
Mr. Emory doubts that the war will go well. The fighting may well have been sparked by a looming attempt by the Ukrainian government to seize the breakaway provinces by force, supported by U.S. and other Western military supply and clandestine special operations troops--the only circumstance that Mr. Emory felt would precipitate Russian intervention.
The historical and institutional evolution of the fascist OUN/B successor groups in control of Ukraine is excerpted in sections of a Covert Action Magazine article:
Some of the most important U.S. think tanks and associated military individuals and institutions embody this continuity: " . . . . The continuity of institutional and individual trajectories from Second World War collaborationists to Cold War-era anti-communist organizations to contemporary conservative U.S. think tanks is significant for the ideological underpinnings of today’s Intermarium revival. . . ."
We present key excerpts of the paper to underscore dominant features of this evolutionary continuity:
1.--A key player in the events that brought the OUN successor organizations to power in Ukraine has been the Atlantic Council. It receives backing from NATO, the State Department, Lithuania and Ukrainian Oligarch Viktor Pinchuk. The think tank also receives major funding from the Ukrainian World Congress, which evolved from the OUN. " . . . . In 1967, the World Congress of Free Ukrainians was founded in New York City by supporters of Andriy Melnyk. [The head of the OUN-M, also allied with Nazi Germany.--D.E.] It was renamed the Ukrainian World Congress in 1993. In 2003, the Ukrainian World Congress was recognized by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as an NGO with special consultative status. It now appears as a sponsor of the Atlantic Council . . . . The continuity of institutional and individual trajectories from Second World War collaborationists to Cold War-era anti-communist organizations to contemporary conservative U.S. think tanks is significant for the ideological underpinnings of today’s Intermarium revival. . . ." 2.--Ukrainian proto-fascist forces were at the core of Josef Pilsudski's Polish-led Intermarium and overlapping Promethean organizations. 3.--Those forces coalesced into the OUN. " . . . . According to the British scholar and journalist Stephen Dorril, the Promethean League served as an anti-communist umbrella organization for anti-Soviet exiles displaced after the Ukrainian government of Simon Petlura (1879–1926) gave up the fight against the Soviets in 1922.[12] . . . . as Dorril affirms, 'the real leadership and latent power within the Promethean League emanated from the Petlura-dominated Ukrainian Democratic Republic in exile and its Polish sponsors. The Poles benefited directly from this arrangement, as Promethean military assets were absorbed into the Polish army, with Ukrainian, Georgian and Armenian contract officers not uncommon in the ranks.'[13] The alliance between Piłsudski and Petlura became very unpopular among many Western Ukrainians, as it resulted in Polish domination of their lands. This opposition joined the insurgent Ukrainian Military Organization (Ukrainska viiskova orhanizatsiia, UVO—founded 1920), which later transformed into the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiia ukrainskykh natsionalistiv, OUN). . . ." 3.--According to former Army intelligence officer William Gowen (a source used and trusted by John Loftus and Mark Aarons) the Intermarium and Promethean network assets were used by Third Reich intelligence during World War II. " . . . . Based on Gowen’s reports, such authors as Christopher Simpson, Stephen Dorril, Mark Aarons, and John Loftus have suggested that the networks of the Promethean League and the Intermarium were utilized by German intelligence. . . ." 4.--Not surprisingly, the Intermarium/Promethean milieu appears to have been centrally involved in the Nazi escape networks, the Vatican-assisted “Ratlines,” in particular. " . . . . American intelligence began to take notice of the Intermarium network in August 1946[42] in the framework of Operation Circle, a Counterintelligence Corps (CIC) project the original goal of which was to determine how networks inside the Vatican had spirited away so many Nazi war criminals and collaborators, mostly to South America.[43] Among the group of CIC officers involved in the operation was Levy’s source William Gowen. Then a young officer based in Rome, Gowen suspected the Intermarium network to be behind Nazi war criminals and collaborators’ extensive escape routes from Europe. . . ." 5.--It comes as no surprise, as well, that U.S. intelligence absorbed the Intermarium/Promethean networks after the war. " . . . . According to Aarons and Loftus, although he had initially been thoroughly opposed to this course of action, by 'early July 1947, Gowen was strongly advocating that American intelligence should take over Intermarium; before long, the CIC officer was no longer hunting for Nazis, but recruiting them.'[49] . . . ." 6.--One of the main components of the “Intermarium continuity” is the ABN—the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. The OUN and associated elements constitute the most important element of the ABN. " . . . . a vast number of anti-communist organizations were formed in the immediate post-war period and supported by the US.[57] They constitute one of the main components of the Intermarium 'genealogical tree,' in the sense that they revived the memory of Piłsudski’s attempts to unify Central and Eastern Europe against Soviet Russia and gave them new life, but blended this memory with far-right tones inspired by collaboration with Nazi Germany.[58] The most important of the European anti-communist organizations was the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN). . . . Because fascist movements were, in the 1930s, the first to organize themselves against the Soviet Union, the ABN recruited massively among their ranks and served as an umbrella for many former collaborationist paramilitary organizations in exile, amongst them the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists—Bandera (OUN-B), the Croatian Ustaše, the Romanian Iron Guard, and the Slovakian Hlinka Guard.[59] It thus contributed to guaranteeing the survival of their legacies at least until the end of the Cold War. According to the liberal Institute for Policy Studies think tank, created by two former aides to Kennedy advisors, the ABN was the 'largest and most important umbrella for former Nazi collaborators in the world.' . . . ." 7.--In addition to the OUN/Ukrainian fascist milieu, the Croatian Ustashe fascists became a dominant element. This is fundamental to the Azov Battalion's Intermarium project, discussed in FTR #'s 1096 and 1097. " . . . . The most active groups within the ABN became the Ukrainian and Croatian organizations, particularly the Ukrainian OUN.[61] The OUN, under the leadership of Andriy Melnyk (1890–1964), collaborated with the Nazi occupiers from the latter’s invasion of Poland in September 1939. The Gestapo trained Mykola Lebed and the adherents of Melnyk’s younger competitor, Stepan Bandera (1909–1959), in sabotage, guerrilla warfare, and assassinations. The OUN’s 1941 split into the so-called OUN-B, following Stepan Bandera, and OUN-M, following Andriy Melnyk,[62] did not keep both factions from continuing to collaborate with the Germans. . . ." 8.--Former SS and Abwehr officer Theodor Oberlaender--the political officer for the UPA and the Nachtigall Battalion during the Lviv Pogrom of June 1941--was vital to the continuity of the OUN and UPA and thus, the Intermarium" . . . .While in Soviet Ukraine the UPA kept on fighting against Moscow until the early 1950s, their capacities were exhausted. . . . As Federal Minister for Displaced Persons, Refugees, and the War-Damaged during the Adenauer government, Oberländer played a crucial role in the rise of the ABN and allowed Ukrainian collaborationists to take the lead in it. Yaroslav Stetsko (1912–1986), who presided over the Ukrainian collaborationist government in Lviv from as early as 30 June 1941, led the ABN from its creation in 1946 until his death in 1986. . . ." 9.--The Army's Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) confirmed the primacy of the OUN/B within the ABN. Note the continuity of OUN and UPA guerilla warfare in Ukraine, begun under third Reich auspices and enjoying post World War II support from CIA, and OPC. This has been covered in AFA #1 and FTR #777.) : " . . . . CIC confirmed that by 1948 both the 'Intermarium' and the UPA (Ukrainian partisan command) reported to the ABN president, Yaroslav Stetsko. The UPA in turn had consolidated all the anti-Soviet partisans under its umbrella. Yaroslav Stetsko was also Secretary of OUN/B and second in command to Bandera, who had the largest remaining partisan group behind Soviet lines under his direct command. Thus, OUN/B had achieved the leadership role among the anti-Communist exiles and was ascendant by 1950 . . . ." 10.--Contemporary Ukraine is the focal point of the reincarnated Intermarium concept. " . . . . The most recent reincarnation of the Intermarium has taken form in Ukraine, especially among the Ukrainian far right, which has re-appropriated the concept by capitalizing on the solid ideological and personal continuity between actors of the Ukrainian far right in the interwar and Cold War periods and their heirs today. . . ." 11.--The continuity of the Intermarium concept as manifested in contemporary Ukraine is epitomized by the role of Yaroslava Stetsko (Yaroslav's widow and successor as a decisive ABN and OUN leader). Note the networking between her Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists and Svoboda. ". . . . This continuity is exemplified by the wife of long-time ABN leader Yaroslav Stetsko, Yaroslava Stetsko (1920–2003), a prominent figure in the Ukrainian post-Second World War émigré community who became directly involved in post-Soviet Ukrainian politics. Having joined the OUN at the age of 18, she became an indispensable supporter of the ABN after the war . . . . In July 1991, she returned to Ukraine, and in the following year formed the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists (CUN), a new political party established on the basis of the OUN, presiding over both.[129] Although the CUN never achieved high election results, it cooperated with the Social-National Party of Ukraine (SNPU), which later changed its name to Svoboda, the far-right Ukrainian party that continues to exist. . . ." 12.--Yaroslava Stetsko's CUN was co-founded by her husband's former secretary in the 1980s, Roman Svarych. Minister of Justice in the Viktor Yuschenko government (as well as both Timoshenko governments), Svarych became the spokesman and a major recruiter for the Azov Battalion. " . . . . The co-founder of the CUN and formerly Yaroslav Stetsko’s private secretary, the U.S.-born Roman Zvarych (1953), represents a younger generation of the Ukrainian émigré community active during the Cold War and a direct link from the ABN to the Azov Battalion. . . . Zvarych participated in the activities of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations in the 1980s. . . . In February 2005, after Viktor Yushchenko’s election, Zvarych was appointed Minister of Justice. . . . According to Andriy Biletsky, the first commander of the Azov battalion, a civil paramilitary unit created in the wake of the Euromaidan, Zvarych was head of the headquarters of the Azov Central Committee in 2015 and supported the Azov battalion with 'volunteers' and political advice through his Zvarych Foundation. . . ." 12.--The "Intermarium Continuity" is inextricable with the historical revisionism about the roles of the OUN and UPA in World War II. That revisionism is institionalized in the Institute of National Remembrance. " . . . .The reintroduction of the Intermarium notion in Ukraine is closely connected to the broad rehabilitation of the OUN and UPA, as well as of their main hero, Stepan Bandera. . . . During his presidency (2005–2010), and particularly through the creation of the Institute for National Remembrance, Viktor Yushchenko built the image of Bandera as a simple Ukrainian nationalist fighting for his country’s independence . . . ." 13.--As discussed in numerous programs, another key element in the "Intermarium Continuity" is Kateryna Chumachenko, an OUN operative who served in the State Department and Ronald Reagan's administration. She married Viktor Yuschenko. " . . . . It is not unlikely Yushchenko’s readiness during his presidency (2005–2010) to open up to right-wing tendencies of the Ukrainian exile leads back to his wife, who had connections to the ABN. Kateryna Chumachenko [Yushchenko], born 1961 in Chicago, was socialised there in the Ukrainian exile youth organisation SUM (Spilka Ukrajinskoji Molodi, Ukrainian Youth Organisation) in the spirit of the OUN. Via the lobby association Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) she obtained a post as 'special assistant' in the U.S. State Department in 1986, and was from 1988 to 1989 employed by the Office of Public Liaison in the White House. . . ." 15.--Embodying the "Intermarium Continuity" are the lustration laws, which make it a criminal offence to tell the truth about the OUN and UPA's roles in World War II. Note Volodymyr Viatrovych's position as minister of education. " . . . . This rehabilitation trend accelerated after the EuroMaidan. In 2015, just before the seventieth anniversary of Victory Day, Volodymyr Viatrovych, minister of education and long-time director of the Institute for the Study of the Liberation Movement, an organization founded to promote the heroic narrative of the OUN–UPA, called on the parliament to vote for a set of four laws that codified the new, post-Maidan historiography. Two of them are particularly influential in the ongoing memory war with Russia. One decrees that OUN and UPA members are to be considered 'fighters for Ukrainian independence in the twentieth century,' making public denial of this unlawful. . . ." 16.--As discussed discussed in FTR #'s 1096 and 1097, the Azov Battalion is in the leadership of the revival of the Intermarium concept." . . . . In this context of rehabilitation of interwar heroes, tensions with Russia, and disillusion with Europe over its perceived lack of support against Moscow, the geopolitical concept of Intermarium could only prosper. It has found its most active promoters on the far right of the political spectrum, among the leadership of the Azov Battalion. . . ." 17.--Azov's Intermarium Support Group has held three networking conferences to date, bringing together key figures of what are euphemized as "nationalist" organizations. In addition to focusing on the development of what are euphemized as "nationalist" youth organizations, the conference is stressing military organization and preparedness: " . . . . In 2016, Biletsky created the Intermarium Support Group (ISG),[152] introducing the concept to potential comrades-in-arms from the Baltic-Black Sea region.[153] The first day of the founding conference was reserved for lectures and discussions by senior representatives of various sympathetic organizations, the second day to 'the leaders of youth branches of political parties and nationalist movements of the Baltic-Black Sea area.' . . . . It also included 'military attaches of diplomatic missions from the key countries in the region (Poland, Hungary, Romania and Lithuania). . . ." 18.--Azov's third ISG conference continued to advance the military networking characteristics of the earlier gatherings, involving military officials from Eastern European countries and including the necessity of giving military training to what are euphemized as "nationalist" youth organizations. Note the continued manifestation in the "new" Croatia of Ustachi political culture. " . . . . On October 13, 2018, the ISG organized its third congress. Besides the Ukrainian hosts, a large share of the foreign speakers from Poland, Lithuania, and Croatia had a (para-)military background, among them advisor to the Polish Defence Minister Jerzy Targalski and retired Brigadier General of the Croatian Armed Forces Bruno Zorica.[156] Among the talking points of Polish military educator Damien Duda were 'methods of the preparation of a military reserve in youth organizations” and the “importance of paramilitary structures within the framework of the defence complex of a modern state.' . . . ."

We suspect that a dynamic in the controversy over China's claim of sovereignty over the South China Sea has little or nothing to do with "Freedom of Navigation" or any other pretensions by the U.S. and its allies. An aspect of the postwar global economy that has largely eluded public awareness concerns the Japanese looting of the liquid wealth of Asia during the Second World War. Interested researchers are emphatically encouraged to read "Gold Warriors" by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave. The volume is a heroic, masterful analysis and penetration of the Asian wing of the cartel system that spawned fascism, as well as the realities of the post-World War II economic landscape. In addition to treasure deliberately and masterfully secreted in elaborately disguised and booby-trapped sites all over Japanese-occupied Asia, much of the loot was scuttled at sea and also lost when ships carrying the treasure were sunk. It may well be that some of the inhabited islands in the South China Sea are sites for Golden Lily ships deliberately scuttled for later salvage and recovery. " . . . . In the last year of the war, Japan also hid large quantities of bullion at sea, deliberately scuttling ships including the cruiser Nachii, sunk with all hands in Manila Bay by a Japanese submarine that then machine-gunned all the Japanese crew members who came to the surface. The gold aboard the Nachii was recovered from its hulk in the late 1970s by President Marcos. . . ." WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE.

This broadcast continues a decades-long path of exploration that Mr. Emory has walked, once again utilizing material from Coup in Dallas:
We have detailed the fundamental involvement of Nazis in the assassination of JFK in numerous programs, over the decades, including: FTR#'s 54, 168, 971, 1123, 1222, 1223, 1224, AFA #'s 11, 12, 13, 15, 37, as well as The Guns of November, Part 4.
Further exploring Nazi involvement in the JFK assassination, we highlight networking between Thomas Eli Davis--linked to Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald--and a veteran spook named Victor Oswald (no relation to the JFK assassination patsy).
About Victor Oswald:
1.--" . . . . During the war, he became close friends with Alfred Barth, the vice-president for Middle European Affairs for the Chase National Bank in New York, owned by the Rockefeller family. Barth was a close friend of John McCloy . . . . who in 1964 would become a member of the Warren Commission. In 1950, Barth traveled to Madrid to meet with Generalissimo Franco, and it was Victor Oswald who accompanied him to the private meeting. Not long afterward, Oswald became the official representative for the Chase Manhattan Bank in Spain, having been appointed by his friend Lawrence Rockefeller. Oswald was also a close friend and business partner with Pierre S. Du Pont III. . . ." 2.--". . . . He was also a low-profile member of Madrid’s large coterie of former Nazis, some of whom joined him in his various business ventures . . . ." 3.--" . . . . Significantly, Victor Oswald was also a longtime business partner with fellow Madrid resident Otto Skorzeny, who, more importantly and to the point here, was present for Davis’s meeting with Victor Oswald. . . ." 4.--" . . . . Skorzeny and Victor Oswald had known each other since at least 1951. This was the point during which Skorzeny was establishing an independent engineering office in Madrid. Introductions between the two appear to have come through Johannes Bernhardt, the former senior SS intelligence officer who headed SOFINDUS, the corporate network used by the Nazis in Spain. Readers may recall that SOFINDUS assets were acquired by the Allies after the war. Victor Oswald . . . was involved in the postwar acquisition of SOFINDUS, placing him in close contact with Bernhardt. . . ."
Much of the program consists of analysis of the highly suspicious “suicide” of Edward Grant Stockdale, JFK’s ambassador to Ireland and an individual who possessed information about a number of sensitive matters that may have led to his elimination.
Much of that sensitive information concerned the large Nazi diaspora which materialized in Ireland in the 1960’s, heavily capitalizing the Irish economy and augmenting a Nazi/fascist political base in that island nation.
Drawing on virulent anti-British sentiment in the “Emerald Isle,” as well as profound Vatican influence in that country, a strong Third Reich underground fused with domestic fascist elements such as the Blueshirts to create a strong ideological, operational and economic foundation for the Nazi dream of a “European Argentine.”
“ . . . . A decade later, according to historian Dennis Eisenberg in his thorough expose Re-Emergence of Fascism. ‘The early spring of 1961 saw one of the most important changes in plans for the fascist international’s future activities. . . . It was decided at this meeting to try and make Ireland the future home for their activities in the same way as the Argentine had been used in the days immediately after the war. . . . The methods used were the same as those which had been directed against Peron; the country will be flooded with capital in such a way that the Government would become dependent on the men who control the money purses. Now Ireland was to become a kind of ‘refuge’ on the door-step of Europe for fascist-minded extremists.’ . . . .”
Stockdale’s “suicide” followed President Kennedy’s assassination by ten days.
“ . . . . On the morning of December 2, 1963, ten days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Edward Grant Stockdale, a ruggedly handsome, forty-eight-year-old businessman and cohort of both Jack and Robert Kennedy, fell to his death from the thirteenth floor of the Alfred I. DuPont Building in downtown Miami.
Stockdale tumbled eight floors from his business office window before his body struck and landed on a fifth-floor ledge. . . .”
There is ample reason to believe that Stockdale’s death was not suicide.
“. . . . Interviewed in June 2004, Grant’s daughter, Ann Stockdale—apparently acutely aware of the dangers of speaking candidly about her father’s alleged suicide even four decades later . . . . “[President] Kennedy asked Daddy to go to the Air Force Base south of Miami to see if (against Kennedy’s orders) bombs were being loaded on the planes. Bombs were being loaded on the planes! I believe one of the reasons Daddy was killed was because he knew that the Government was being run by the Military Complex. . . .”
Stockdale expressed fear for his life: “ . . . . Author and publisher David Talbot writes that Stockdale flew to Washington and talked with Robert and Edward Kennedy about the assassination of their brother. On his return [to Miami] Stockdale told several of his friends that ‘the world was closing in.’ On December 1, he spoke to his attorney, William Frates, who later recalled: ‘He started talking. It didn’t make much sense. He said something about ‘those guys’ trying to get him. Then about the assassination.’’ . . . .”
The authors speculate that Stockdale’s “suicide” may have been arranged in part, to obscure his awareness of the profound Nazi presence in Ireland, including operations of Otto and Ilse Skoreny. Skorzeny, of course, may have been a key tactical planner for the JFK assassination as posited by Albarelli and his co-authors.
“ . . . . ‘Frequently attending these gatherings in all their splendor were Otto and Ilse Skorzeny . . . Without doubt, Stockdale was amply familiar with former Nazi SS officer Skorzeny, who often visited the embassy for meetings with various American businessmen, military officers, and intelligence officials, as well as various embassy staff members throughout 1960, 1961, and 1962. Former embassy personnel vividly recall Skorzeny coming to the embassy on a near ‘weekly basis.’ Evidence also reveals that the Skorzenys were occasional dinner guests joining the ambassador and his wife. . . .”
Both of JFK’s surviving brothers made trips abroad in 1964, possibly to investigate aspects of their brother’s murder.
Shortly after announcing his candidacy for the Senate, Ted Kennedy made a trip to Ireland, shortly after which he narrowly escaped death in a plane crash: “ . . . . Six months after the murder of his brother in Dallas, Senator Edward Kennedy, the youngest of Joe and Rose Kennedy’s sons, flew to Ireland. He had recently announced his campaign to run for a six-year Senate term in Massachusetts . . . . He returned to the States, and less than three weeks later, on June 19, 1964, he was a passenger in a fatal plane crash that killed the pilot, Edward Zimny of Lawrence, MA. . . .”
Robert Kennedy traveled to Mexico: “ . . . . Toward the end of 1964, his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, made a trip to Mexico City, ostensibly to observe the young radical movement in the country. Coverage of the mysterious trip was tightly controlled, and it was only years later that researchers began to speculate on the real purpose of the trip. Some historians argue he was pursuing links between the assassination of his brother and a network operating in Mexico. . . .”
In our previous programs, we set forth the deep political milieu spanning the landscape of the JFK assassination, as embodied by a French fascist network stretching from the 1930's up until the early 1990's. Overlapping dominant French and transnational fascist components of multiple intelligence agencies and transnational corporations, these networks exemplify the powerful forces that killed President Kennedy and sit astride the contemporary political landscape.
In this program, we further develop some of the Nazi networks involved with the JFK assassination, in order to flesh out understanding of the structural and operational nature of the dominant elements in our political culture.
Representative of the fascist connections in the JFK assassination highlighted in Coup in Dallas is the fact that Robert Schacht--a blood relative of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, Hitler's finance minister who was deeply involved with Clay Shaw and Permindex--was the admissions director for Albert Schweitzer College, the first destination of Lee Harvey Oswald when he "defected" to the Soviet Union.
We also include a passage from Jim DiEugenio's classic work on the Garrison investigation--Destiny Betrayed.
This passage places the Schacht family connection in greater depth.
We also include a passage from Jim DiEugenio's classic work on the Garrison investigation--Destiny Betrayed.
This passage places the Schacht family connection in greater depth.
Permindex was involved with, among other things, attempts on the life of French president Charles De Gaulle in conjunction with elements of CIA and the OAS.
he position of Hjalmar Schacht’s relative Robert as the New York admissions officer of Albert Schweitzer College is the fact that Albert Schweitzer himself was the honorary chairman of Stille Hilfe—“Silent Help”—one of the postwar SS assistance organizations, headed by Gudrun Burwitz, Heinrich Himmler’s daughter. We have covered Stille Hilfe in previous programs and posts.
When railroad executive Bill Thompson inquired of LBJ assistant Bobby Baker about the possibility of introducing President Kennedy to alleged East German/Soviet spy Ellen Rometsch, Baker offered a very interesting reply, indicating that Rometsch was a Nazi.
Important political context to the alleged “Communist Spy” cover story of Ellen Rometsch concerns the political affiliations of the journalist who was the primary shepherd for the story. Clark Mollenhoff was an intimate of the ABN, OUN/B elements who ascended to a dominant role in the national security establishment of the current Ukraine government.
In AFA#15, as well as FTR#’s 777, 778 and 876, we set forth the role of OUN/B elements in the assassination of President Kennedy, chiefly in generating what Professor Peter Dale Scott termed the “Level One Cover-up.”—putting the blame on “the Communists” in order to deflect attention from the actual perpetrators.
In the above-cited programs, we noted how the assassination of Stepan Bandera—represented as part of a Soviet assassination program with which Lee Harvey Oswald was allegedly affiliated, we noted that the behavior of assassin Bogdan [or “Bohdan”] Stashynsky suggested that he was a double agent and that the Bandera assassination was—in effect—a provocative gambit lending gravitas to the “Level-One Cover-up” posited by Professor Scott.
Research uncovered by author Albarelli strongly reinforces the probability that Stashynsky’s work for the Soviets was a double agent, with his remarkable behavior elevating the Bandera hit to the level of Gehlen/Western propaganda.
(Stashynsky still had the shaft of the broken key to Bandera’s apartment at the time of his arrest and the head of the key was still in the lock of Bandera’s apartment when discovered by the German police, as was revealed at Bandera’s trial two years later.)
We conclude with discussion of Thomas Eli Davis.
Gunrunner Thomas Eli Davis appears to have been subjected to a degree of mind control at the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit. Ernst Rodin—his “therapist”—was an Austrian émigré with a Third Reich pedigree.
Of particular note is the fact that MK/ULTRA operative extraordinaire Louis Jolyon West was a protégé of Rodin.
Davis was a gunrunning associate of Jack Ruby and was, apparently, involved with Lee Harvey Oswald’s sojourn in Mexico.
In our next program, we will set forth Davis’s connections to Viktor Oswald, an “Underground Reich” associate who networked extensively with the milieu of Otto Skorzeny in Spain.
An important book about the JFK assassination has been published. The late Hank Albarelli, Jr. has authored a lengthy tome, which draws together various, disparate elements involved in the Dallas coup in an important, timely manner.
Integrating operational elements of the domestic fascist political milieu, active and retired military professionals, the intelligence community (CIA in particular), the defense industry, the Texas and international petroleum companies, as well as dominant political organizations with the forces of international fascism, Albarelli and his assistants have opened a window onto what Mr. Emory believes are in the forces destroying our civilization.
Paramount, here, is the decisive role and position of international fascism in the events of 11/22/1963.
Fascism is generally represented as something of an antiquity and an aberration--an outlier in the development of our civilization.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Contemporary presentations of fascism are attenuated and superficial, covering neither the evolution of fascist networks through the decades, nor those networks’ inextricable relationships with past and present intelligence agencies and dominant corporate and allied political interests around the world.
In the first of these programs, we explore the account in the book of the role of French fascists in the assassination of JFK.
In the second, we chronicle the deep political connections of the French steel and iron makers, and their counterparts in the German steel and coal combines. United in their corporatist strategy, they saw anti-labor and anti-communist ideology as surmounting any nationalist considerations.
For many years, we have set forth the powerful French fascist organizations that attempted to overthrow the French government of Leon Blum and, finally, acted in concert with like-minded military officers, aristocrats and corporate individuals and institutions to subvert resistance to the Nazi invasion.
With the establishment of the Vichy collaborationist regime, elements such as La Cagoule contributed significantly to the governing and enforcing apparatus of the fascist administration.
We have covered La Cagoule for many years, including an in-depth exploration of the methodology and history of La Cagoule and related groups in Miscellaneous Archive Show 61 (recorded in September of 1994.) Relevant sides of this lengthy program are: Side "c"; Side "d"; Side "e". (These segments, in turn, draw on documentation presented in Armies of Spies by Joseph Gollomb and Triumph of Treason by Pierre Cot. For further discussion of these topics and books, use the search function on this website.)
Furthermore, figures such as Monsieurs Filliol and Pierre Lafitte also served with the Nazis SS, the most prominent French element of which was the Charlemagne Division.
(In addition to Lafitte's Nazi/SS/fascist collaboration, this "Man of a Thousand Faces" worked for a myriad of organizations: intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, and criminal networks, often overlapping those activities. The authors of Coup in Dallas posit that Lafitte may very well have been the “manager” for the JFK assassination operation in the U.S.)
Networking with, among others, Otto Skorzeny during the war, French fascists sought and found refuge and continued postwar employment in Spain under the fascist government of dictator Francisco Franco. Their relationship with Skorzeny continued after the war, and Skorzeny may well have been the “executive” planner of the assassination under whom Lafitte operated.
". . . . And perhaps equally significant is Filliol’s history with Nazi SS Sturmbannfuhrer Otto Skorzeny. . . We now know that Skorzeny played the crucial role of logistical mastermind of the hit in Dealey Plaza. . . ."
(We have detailed Skorzeny’s vitally important role in postwar international fascism in numerous broadcasts, including AFA#22.)
Albarelli develops information about Skorzeny and Lafitte as central to the planning of the JFK assassination, and master assassin Filliol as being present in Dallas on 11/22/1963.
Manifesting grasp of both the "sweep" of fascism and its institutional connections, Albarelli highlights the fascist genesis of the French cosmetic giant L'Oreal, employer of Jean Filliol in Spain and his fellow French fascist Jacques Correze in both Spain and the U.S.
" . . . Once in Spain, Filliol soon established contact with Nazi Otto Skorzeny, who had been 'resettled' for the benefit of U.S. intelligence interests in the nation’s capitol. . . .
". . . . There, Filliol quickly landed a secure and well-paid executive job with the international division of L’Oreal, a cosmetic and beauty products company. Today a very well-known company, L’Oreal was founded and operated by Eugene Schueller, a passionate anti-Semite and ultraright-winger. Schueller, during the 1930’s and the war years, financially supported La Cagoule . . . ."
". . . . While in Spain, naturally, Correze became friends with Otto Skorzeny after being introduced to his fellow SS officer by former La Cagoule assassin Jean Filliol, by now the vice president of international marketing for L’Oreal. . . ."
When the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations began looking into Correze's fascist and Nazi history, the probe quickly unearthed substantive allegations about Correze's relationship to Filliol and his fellow fascist Gerard Litt and the latter pair's presence in Dallas at the time of the JFK assassination.
". . . . According to two former employees of the department’s Office of Special investigations, both of whom declined to be identified in this book, the examination of Correze’s past quickly unearthed unexpected details about his links to Jean Filliol, Gerard Litt, and Otto Skorzeny, inclusive of detailed suspicions about Filliol’s and Litt’s presence in Dallas, Texas, at the time of the JFK assassination. . . ."
(We note in passing that John Loftus, the heroic author of The Belarus Secret, America's Nazi Secret, Unholy Trinity and The Secret War Against the Jews worked for the Office of Special Investigations.)
The broader context of the Cagoulard elements in Dallas concerns the OAS attempts on the life of Charles De Gaulle, which overlap the JFK assassination. (We discussed those areas of overlap in, among other broadcasts, FTR#1162.)
One of the apparent areas of overlap between the OAS attempts to kill De Gaulle (with assistance from elements of CIA) and the Dallas coup is Jean Souetre, a skilled OAS assassin who, like Filliol and Lafitte, was networked with Otto Skorzeny.
" . . . . Skorzeny’s aide explained to Herbert that his superior was absent because he had 'other things going on.' The arrangements that were made for [Army Ranger officer Anthony] Herbert to meet with Skorzeny confirm Capt. Souetre’s commandos were fully aware of the nature of Skorzeny’s training schools, which they also attended. . . ."
Souetre was in Dallas on 11/22/1063 and was expelled from the country.
One of the important strengths of the Albarelli text is the integration of many of the strategic and operational elements involved with the JFK hit.
Numerous writers have set forth the role in the Dallas coup of elements of what Texans refer to as "The Ahl Bidness."
In addition to despising JFK for his advocacy of Algerian independence from colonial master France, exploratory information indicated to Texas-connected petroleum interests that Algeria contained significant petroleum reserves on its territory and beneath its territorial waters.
Representative of the fascist connections in the JFK assassination highlighted in this book is the fact that Robert Schacht--a blood relative of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, Hitler's finance minister who was deeply involved with Clay Shaw and Permindex--was the admissions director for Albert Schweitzer College, the first destination of Lee Harvey Oswald when he "defected" to the Soviet Union.
We also include a passage from Jim DiEugenio's classic work on the Garrison investigation--Destiny Betrayed.
This passage places the Schacht family connection in greater depth.
Permindex was involved with, among other things, attempts on the life of French president Charles De Gaulle in conjunction with elements of CIA and the OAS. (We will discuss more about this in future programs.
Much of the second program discusses the actions of the Fifth Column in France prior to, and during, World War II. (For more about this Fifth Column, see Miscellaneous Archive Show M61.) It is important to note in this context, that Mr. Emory stresses that the analogy between the Fifth Column in France and its counterpart in the United States is not an exact one. There are significant differences between the situation in France before World War II and that in the U.S. today. Nonetheless there are similarities worth examining.
One should note that France was governed by a democratic coalition government under Leon Blum (the Social Front or Popular Front), which included the French communist party. Under the social pressures brought about by the Great Depression and the inability of liberal democratic governments to deal adequately with the social fallout from it, many countries experienced powerful fascist movements. Such was the case in France. Industrialists, financiers, aristocrats and members of the armed forces were among the fascist plotters that saw the elimination of the Blum government as a necessity. After initial failure in the plot by the fascist Cagoulards in 1938, many of the fascists acceded to power in the Vichy government after the German conquest.
We have exhaustively covered the return to power in Ukraine of the OUN/B successor organizations, heirs to the Third Reich allies who perpetrated Nazi ethnic cleansing there during World War II. The Institute of National Memory is executing a government mandate to erase and rewrite the World War II history of Ukraine and the OUN/B, making it a crime to publicly criticize the OUN/B and its auxiliary elements. Recently, the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution condemning celebrations of Nazism. Only the U.S. and Ukraine voted against it. It is said that "a picture is worth a thousand words." Pictures in this post explain very clearly what our media have purposely ignored. Professor Ivan Katchanovski has meticulously set forth forensic evidence that the sniper fire that killed both demonstrators and police at the Maidan eruption came from buildings occupied by Svoboda and other OUN/B successor groups. Ukraine's government made Roman Shukevyech a Hero of Ukraine and the city of Lviv--in which he led the massacre of thousands of residents of the city--commemorated him on the anniversary of the beginning of the pogrom. You can view pictures of his henchmens' handiwork here. One feature of the 1941 Lviv pogrom was the prevalence of "street humiliations"--the stripping, raping and murder of women. The Shukevyechfest commemorative festivities elicited no protest from feminists. WFMU-FM is podcasting For The Record–You can subscribe to the podcast HERE.

The ravages of the Agent Orange defoliant used in Southeast Asia are well known. What has not received as much publicity is the documented fact that the poison was developed by Friedrich "Fritz" Hoffman, one of the Third Reich alumni brought to the U.S. under Project [or "Operation"] Paperclip. ". . . . Under the umbrella of the CIA’s Security Research Services, [CIA organization] Morwede was among the front organizations protecting Nazi chemists transported to the US, including Dr. Friedrich “Fritz” Hoffman, a major beneficiary of the largesse of the Paperclip pipeline. In the late ‘50s, Hoffmann’s work for the CIA and Fort Detrick included development of lethal chemical agents to be used as weapons in Vietnam, proof that the dishonorable was just over the horizon when John Kennedy took office. One of these weapons, the horrific and now-infamous Agent Orange, was authorized for use in Vietnam in November 1961 . . . ."

In these programs, we continue our discussion of Nick Turse's 2008 tome The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives.
Writing in his novel Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller wrote: " . . . . America is the very incarnation of Doom. And she will lead the rest of the world into the Bottomless Pit. . . ." (The quote was included in his Forgive My Grief books by pioneering JFK assassination researcher Penn Jones.
Epitomizing Miller's observation is what Mr. Emory terms the resonant synthesis of video games and military training and training technology:
". . . . Certainly, the day is not far off when most potential U.S. troops will have grown up playing commercial video games that were created by the military as training simulators; will be recruited, at least in part, through video games; will be tested, post-enlistment, on advanced video game systems; will be trained using simulators, which will later be turned into video games, or on reconfigured versions of the very same games used to recruit them or that they played kids; will be taught to pilot vehicles using devices resembling commercial video game controllers; and then, after a long day of real-life war-gaming head back to their quarters to kick back and play the latest PlayStation or Xbox games created with or sponsored by their own, or another, branch of the armed forces.
More and more toys are now poised to become clandestine combat teaching tools, and more and more simulators are destined to be tomorrow’s toys. And what of America’s children and young adults in all this? How will they be affected by the dazzling set of military training devices now landing in their living rooms and on their PCs, produced by video game giants under the watchful eyes of the Pentagon? After all, what these games offer is less a matter of simple military indoctrination and more like a near immersion in a virtual world of war, where armed conflict is not the last, but the first—and indeed the only—resort. . . ."
A concrete example of that "resonant synthesis" is the battle of 73 Easting:
". . . . Just days into the ground combat portion of the Gulf War, the Battle of 73 Easting pitted American armored vehicles against a much larger Iraqi tank force. The U.S. troops, who had trained using the SIMNET system, routed the Iraqis. Within days, the military began turning the actual battle into a digital simulation for use with SIMNET. Intensive debriefing sessions with 150 veterans of the battle were undertaken. Then DARPA personnel went out onto the battlefield with the veterans, surveying tank tracks and burned-out Iraqi vehicles, as the veterans walked them through each individual segment of the clash. Additionally, radio communications, satellite photos, and 'black boxes' from U.S. tanks were used to gather even more details. Nine months after the actual combat took place, a digital recreation of the Battle of 73 Easting was premiered for high-ranking military personnel. Here was the culmination of Thorpe’s efforts to create a networked system that would allow troops to train for future wars using the new technology combined with accurate historical data. . . ."
Placing Henry Miller's quote into an ironically-relevant context, a popular video game "Doom" quickly was adapted to Martine Corps training purposes:
". . . . In late 1993, with the green glow of Gulf War victory already fading, id Software introduced the video game Doom. Gamers soon began modifying shareware copies of this ultraviolent, ultrapopular first person shooter, prompting id to release editing software the next year. The ability to customize Doom caught the attention of members of the Marine Corps Modeling and Simulation Management Office who had been tasked by the corps’ Commandant Charles Krulak with utilizing “'computer (PC)-based war games”'to help the marines 'develop decision making skills, particularly when live training time and opportunities are limited.'
"Acting on Krulak’s directive, the marines’ modeling crew nixed Doom’s fantasy weapons and labyrinthine locale and, in three months’ time, developed Marine Doom, a game that included only actual Marine Corps weaponry and realistic environments. Krulak liked what he saw and, in 1997, approved the game. . . ."
Next, Turse discusses Pentagon plans to operate in urban slums in the Third World. Mr. Emory notes that many combat veterans of this country's long counter-insurgency wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are joining the increasingly militarized police forces in this country.
Pentagon strategy as discussed here by Turse may, eventually be realized, to an extent, in the U.S., particularly in the event of an economic collapse.
More about Pentagon plans for urban warfare in slums, ostensibly in the developing world:
" . . . . As both the high-tech programs and the proliferating training facilities suggest, the foreign slum city is slated to become the bloody battlespace of the future. . . . For example, the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps launched a program seeking to develop algorithms to predict the criminality of a given building or neighborhood. The project titled Finding Repetitive Crime Supporting Structures, defines cities as nothing more than a collection of 'urban clutter [that] affords considerable concealment for the actors that we must capture.' The 'hostile behavior bad actors,' as the program terms them, are defined not just as 'terrorists,' today’s favorite catch-all bogeymen, but as a panoply of nightmare archetypes: 'insurgents, serial killers, drug dealers, etc.'. . ."
Program Highlights Include: Discussion of Colonel Dave Grossman's book On Killing against the background of the resonant synthesis of video games and military training; analysis of the use of gaming apps by Nazi elements to celebrate school shootings and encourage them; discussion of school shooter Nikolas Cruz of Parkland high and his Nazi, white supremacist and Trumpian influence; discussion of alt-right use of websites catering to people suffering from depression for recruiting purposes.
In a previous post, we noted collaboration between Josef Mengele--the infamous "Angel of Death" of Auschwitz--and the U.S. government, via Paraguayan dictator Alfredo Stroessner. Some of our discussion concerning "The Oswald Institute of Virology" might seem to some listeners to be "a long way from home," so to speak. In FTR#1147, we noted that elements of U.S. intelligence appear to have protected Mengele, as part of their clandestine sponsorship of the postwar Nazi diaspora. We highlight this because Mengele was not an isolated example, but rather characteristic of a much larger and broad-based phenomenon. ". . . . By July 1945 Josef Mengele had been captured and identified at an allied prisoner-of-war camp. Forty years later an eyewitness told a congressional committee how guards knew Mengele's name, and also the general nature of his crimes as doctor, experimenter, and executioner at Auschwitz.' Also in 1985, the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles released documents obtained from the U.S. Army under the Freedom of Information Act, according to which Mengele "may have been arrested by U.S. authorities in Austria in 1947 and subsequently released. ' . . . ." In FTR#664, we noted testimony at the Nuremberg trials to the effect that Mengele filled out paperwork before his infamous experiments on twins, a copy of which went to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, which received a great deal of funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. Mengele's posting at Auschwitz was due to a superior/colleague at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, who suggested that it would be a good career move, as highlighted in, among other programs, FTR#908.

"One nation under God." It's a familiar phrase for modern Americans. But how about the phrase "One nation under God, and one religion under God"? That was the call recently made by Michael Flynn. As we're going to see, Flynn wasn't just speaking for fellow theocrats when he called for an end to the separation of church and state. He was voicing the views of some of the most powerful lobbies operating in DC. Groups like the Council for National Policy (CNP) that represent the merger of corporate (Koch) and theocratic interests. A network that for all practical purposes is the Republican Party's oligarch establishment, pushing a theocratic agenda with a goal of not just conferring special rights for Christians but effectively ending democracy itself. Because as we're also going to see, just as you can't separate the GOP establishment from the theocratic CNP, you can't separate the GOP's party-wide push to overturn the 2020 election results from the CNP either. The death of representative democracy in the US is very much a 'God'-ordained project.
In our last post, we highlighted "Coup in Dallas" by the late Hank Albarelli, Jr. This might be termed "a breakthrough book." Placing JFK’s assassination in proper historical and political context, author Albarelli details the primary role in the Dallas coup of French fascist elements. Those elements: 1) Were from the organization La Cagoule, which attempted to overthrow the French government of Leon Blum in 1938. 2) Coalesced as important parts of the Vichy collaborationist government that took power following the German conquest of 1940. 3) Networked with, and, in many cases, became part of, the French SS. 4) Found refuge, commercial employment and renewed political activism in Franco’s Spain. 5) Integrated into the postwar Nazi underground centering on Otto Skorzeny in Spain and around the world. 6) Worked with US intelligence. 7) Were integrated into what Danish journalist Henrik Kruger termed “The International Fascista.” 8) Through some of the Skorzeny/French/US networks, participated in the OAS’s secret war against French president Charles De Gaulle. 9) In conjunction with the CIA/Skorzeny milieu, appear to have participated in the JFK hit. 10)Worked for cosmetics giant L’Oreal, which has a fascist/Nazi past. 11) Came to the attention of the Justice Department’s anti-Nazi Office of Special Investigations.
