Two slices of reality: "The Remarkable Historiography of David Irving" and "Against David Irving’s View of Hitler"

Comment: Hitler, in my view, was undoubtedly a psychopath and a vessel for some dark forces. The Nazis similarly were a classic expression of  ponerological evil. However, the Wartime AngloZionist allies committed their own atrocities and misled the public about the root causes of the war and the subsequent destruction of Germany and the German people. Although the Jewish holocaust certainly took place a lot of Jewish mythology has grown up around it (as it often does in Jewish history) and separating fact from established fiction remains challenging and most definitely taboo. Which means there is much more to this period of history than we are being told. To that end I suggest readers watch the documentary: Hellstorm (2015) to start with...

I’m very pleased to announce that our selection of HTML Books now contains works by renowned World War II historian David Irving, including his magisterial Hitler’s War, named by famed military historian Sir John Keegan as one of the most crucial volumes for properly understanding that conflict.

With many millions of his books in print, including a string of best-sellers translated into numerous languages, it’s quite possible that the eighty-year-old Irving today ranks as the most internationally-successful British historian of the last one hundred years. Although I myself have merely read a couple of his shorter works, I found these absolutely outstanding, with Irving regularly deploying his remarkable command of the primary source documentary evidence to totally demolish my naive History 101 understanding of major historical events. It would hardly surprise me if the huge corpus of his writings eventually constitutes a central pillar upon which future historians seek to comprehend the catastrophically bloody middle years of our hugely destructive twentieth century even after most of our other chroniclers of that era are long forgotten.

Carefully reading a thousand-page reconstruction of the German side of the Second World War is obviously a daunting undertaking, and his remaining thirty-odd books would probably add at least another 10,000 pages to that Herculean task. But fortunately, Irving is also a riveting speaker, and several of his extended lectures of recent decades are conveniently available on YouTube, as given below. These effectively present many of his most remarkable revelations concerning the wartime policies of both Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, as well as sometimes recounting the challenging personal situation he himself faced. Watching these lectures may consume several hours, but that is still a trivial investment compared to the many weeks it would take to digest the underlying books themselves.

In response to Ron Unz’s “The Remarkable Historiography of David Irving”, this note will pick up on and elucidate the reader-comment to that from James N. Kennett, which stated: “It seemed to me that the problem with his work was not the possible inaccuracy of the details that he included – but the things he had left out. Anyone can tell a good story by leaving out the evidence that does not fit. 

Irving also coined the phrase ‘the Auschwitz Survivors, Survivors of the Holocaust, and Other Liars—A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S.’ You don’t have to be a supporter of the Holocaust Industry to realise that this is crass insensitivity, and an ahistorical insult to those who did survive. Far from indicating a historian of unique genius, it is the product of a perverted mind.” (I have added the link there in Kennett’s comment — it wasn’t provided by him — a link to an apt comment that had been posted at “Good Reads” about David Irving’s statement there against those survivors.)

My 2000 book WHY the Holocaust Happened (the publisher subsequently went out of business, and so it’s no longer available) discusses both the history and the historiography of the Holocaust; and, while the writings of David Irving are not mentioned there (but more ‘respectable’ proponents of his ‘weak dictator’ interpretation of Hitler were), it presented, regarding Mr. Irving, lots of (as Kennett has put it), “the things he had left out,” and that I think invalidate Irving’s works, because the motivation behind those omissions is clear and is not considered acceptable by most historians. Here are some of those omissions — things left out altogether, or else unjustifiably denigrated, by Irving — (with page-references to where the given excerpts appear in my book):

The EU’s Architects: Nazis and Nazi Collaborators

Wayne Madsen
Strategic Culture

There is an old adage that pertains to the founding of the European Union «If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again». And for the Nazis and Nazi collaborators of the Second World War, viewing the post-war European death and destruction brought about by Adolf Hitler and his «Third Reich» alliance of Italian fascists, French Vichy, and others, the immediate decision was to «try again» with a European Union that would establish the same European super-state envisaged by Hitler but with a decidedly «democratic» aura.

What eventually became the EU, the European Coal and Steel Community, was formed by six Western European countries in 1951. The organization was the brainchild of Robert Schuman, a French politician who swore allegiance to Marshal Philippe Petain, the French Vichy leader and ally of the mustachioed German ex-corporal. Schuman was later stripped of his political rights for his collaboration with the hated German bosche. However, Free French commander, General Charles De Gaulle, restored Schuman’s full citizenship, after which the old Vichy collaborator set about to create a modified version of the Third Reich, the European Union. And to complement his «Fourth Reich-Lite», Schuman advocated a military alliance to give it muscle. It was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Schuman served as a post-war French foreign and prime minister. Schuman’s collaborators in his plan to create a federal Europe were fellow Frenchman and OSS/CIA asset Jean Monnet and German chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who, as pre-war mayor of Cologne and president of the Prussian State Council, provided the Nazis with various perks, including the right to fly Nazi flags from Cologne city flagpoles.

'Holocaust survivor' Joseph Hirt admits he made up his story to 'keep Holocaust memories alive'

Comment: Not an isolated incident I'm afraid. Much of Jewish History can be characterised by similar deception in order to "keep ... memories alive". In other words, to keep alive the myth of Jewish exceptionalism and the social control and preferential treatment it confers.

A Pennsylvania man who claimed for years to have escaped from Auschwitz, met track and field star Jesse Owens and Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, confessed on Friday that he had fabricated the entire story.

"I am writing today to apologize publicly for harm caused to anyone because of my inserting myself into the descriptions of life in Auschwitz," Joseph Hirt, 86, wrote in a letter sent to his local paper, LNP, this week. "I was not a prisoner there. I did not intend to lessen or overshadow the events which truly happened there by falsely claiming to have been personally involved."

"I was wrong. I ask forgiveness," he added. "I determined at that moment to do everything in my power to prevent the loss of the truth about wartime life (and death) at Auschwitz."

For years, Hirt gave public speeches about his experiences in the second world war, including his Jewish family's flight from Poland to Belgrade. But he also told people that he was arrested by the Nazis, sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz, and met Mengele, the SS physician who tortured prisoners of the concentration camp. Hirt claimed to have escaped under an electric fence at the camp.

He added an extraordinary prologue and epilogue to the story, saying that he saw Adolf Hitler turn his back on Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, and that he met Eleanor Roosevelt and Owens after his arrival in the United States.

Revealed: Decorated Nazi commander became Mossad assasin

Intel News

 

A notorious lieutenant colonel in the Waffen SS, who served in Adolf Hitler’s personal bodyguard unit, worked as a hitman for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad after World War II, it has been revealed. Austrian-born Otto Skorzeny became known as the most ruthless special-forces commander in the Third Reich. Having joined the Austrian branch of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party at 19, at age 23 Skorzeny began serving in the Waffen SS, Nazi Germany’s conscript army that consisted largely of foreign-born fighters. In 1943, Hitler himself decorated Skorzeny with the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross, in recognition of his leadership in Operation EICHE, the rescue by German commandos of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, who had been imprisoned at a ski resort in the Apennine Mountains following a coup against his government.

Skorzeny survived the war and ended up living in Spain under the protection of the country’s far-right dictator, Francisco Franco. The Mossad, Israel’s covert-action agency, which had made it a priority to arrest or kill senior Nazis who had survived the war, intended to kill Skorzeny. However, two veteran Israeli intelligence observers, Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman, revealed on Sunday that, instead of killing Skorzeny, the Mossad decided to recruit him. Based on “interviews with former Mossad officers and with Israelis who have access to the Mossad’s archived secrets”, Raviv and Melman allege that Isser Harel, who directed the Mossad from 1952 to 1963, decided that the former Waffen SS commander would be a useful asset against other Nazis operating in Europe and the Middle East. Specifically, Harel planned to use Skorzeny as a trap to lure a number of Nazi scientists who were secretly working for Egypt’s missile program.

Governments from Around the World – Including Western, Islamic, Asian and African Nations – ADMIT They Carry Out False Flag Terror

Washington's Blog

Governments from Around the World Admit They Carry Out False Flag Terror

 

Governments from around the world admit they carry out false flag terror:

• A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that – under orders from the chief of the Gestapo – he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson

• Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union’s Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila in 1939, and declared that the fire originated from Finland as a basis launching the Winter War four days later

• Israel admits that an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind “evidence” implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this)

• The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950′s to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister

• The British Prime Minister admitted to his defense secretary that he and American president Dwight Eisenhower approved a plan in 1957 to carry out false flag attacks in Syria and blame it on the Syrian government as a way to effect regime change

• The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligenceadmit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: “You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security”(and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch this BBC special

• As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960′s, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.

• 2 years before, American Senator George Smathers had suggested that the U.S. make “a false attack made on Guantanamo Bay which would give us the excuse of actually fomenting a fight which would then give us the excuse to go in and [overthrow Castro]“.

• And Official State Department documents show that – only nine months before the Joint Chiefs of Staff plan was proposed – the head of the Joint Chiefs and other high-level officials discussed blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify an invasion of that country. The 3 plans were not carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals

• A U.S. Congressional committee admitted that – as part of its “Cointelpro” campaign – the FBI had used many provocateurs in the 1950s through 1970s to carry out violent acts and falsely blame them on political activists

• The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him “to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC [the African National Congress] by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident”, thus framing the ANC for the bombing

• An Algerian diplomat and several officers in the Algerian army admit that, in the 1990s, the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings (and see this video; and Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002, French Court Dismisses Algerian Defamation Suit Against Author)

• Senior Russian Senior military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings and falsely blamed it on Chechens, in order to justify an invasion of Chechnya (and see this report and this discussion)

• According to the Washington Post, Indonesian police admit that the Indonesian military killed American teachers in Papua in 2002 and blamed the murders on a Papuan separatist group in order to get that group listed as a terrorist organization.

• The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings

• As reported by BBC, the New York Times, and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers attempting to assassinate Macedonian police, in order to join the “war on terror”.

• Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax attacks were carried out by one or more U.S. government scientists, a senior FBI official says that the FBI was actually told to blame the Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House officials (remember what the anthrax letters looked like). Government officials also confirm that the white House tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country

• Similarly, the U.S. falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks – as shown by a memo from the defense secretary – as one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq war.  Even after the 9/11 Commission debunked any connection, Dick Cheney said that the evidence is “overwhelming” that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein’s regime, that Cheney “probably” had information unavailable to the Commission, and that the media was not ‘doing their homework’ in reporting such ties.   Top U.S. government officials now admit that the Iraq war was really launched for oil … not 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction  (U.S. government officials have now admitted that 9/11 was state-sponsored terror; but Iraq was not the state which backed the hijackers)

• Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having “our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization. It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda’s ranks, causing operatives to doubt others’ identities and to question the validity of communications.”

• United Press International reported in June 2005:

U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance.

• Undercover Israeli soldiers admitted in 2005 to throwing stones at other Israeli soldiers so they could blame it on Palestinians, as an excuse to crack down on peaceful protests by the Palestinians

• Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this)

• At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of parliament saw plain clothes police officers attempting to incite the crowd to violence

• A Colombian army colonel has admitted that his unit murdered 57 civilians, then dressed them in uniforms and claimed they were rebels killed in combat

• U.S. soldiers have admitted that if they kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then “drop” automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants

• The highly-respected writer for the Telegraph Ambrose Evans-Pritchard says that the head of Saudi intelligence – Prince Bandar – recently admitted that the Saudi government controls “Chechen” terrorists

• High-level American sources admitted that the Turkish government – a fellow Nato country – carried out the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government; and high-ranking Turkish government admitted on tape plans to carry out false flag attacks and blame it on the Syrian government

So Common … There’s a Name for It

 

This tactic is so common that it was given a name for hundreds of years ago.
“False flag terrorism” is defined as a government attacking its own people, then blaming others in order to justify going to war against the people it blames. Or as Wikipedia defines it:

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one’s own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time; for example, during Italy’s strategy of tension.

The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy’s flag, instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, was hung, it was called a “false flag” attack.
Indeed, this concept is so well-accepted that rules of engagement for naval, air and land warfare all prohibit false flag attacks.

Leaders Throughout History Have Acknowledged False Flags

 

Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the danger of false flags:

“This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.”
- Plato
“If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
- U.S. President James Madison
“A history of false flag attacks used to manipulate the minds of the people! “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
“Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death”.
- Adolph Hitler
“Why of course the people don’t want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
- Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.
“The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened”.
- Josef Stalin

People Are Waking Up to False Flags

 

People are slowly waking up to this whole con job by governments who want to justify war.

More people are talking about the phrase “false flag” than ever before. 

Red Cross and Vatican helped thousands of Nazis to escape

guardian.co.uk/

The Red Cross and the Vatican both helped thousands of Nazi war criminals and collaborators to escape after the Second World War, according to a book that pulls together evidence from unpublished documents. Gerald Steinacher, a research fellow at Harvard University, was given access to thousands of internal documents in the archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). They throw light on how and why mass murderers such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele and Klaus Barbie and thousands of others evaded capture by the allies. By comparing lists of wanted war criminals to travel documents, Steinacher says Britain and Canada alone inadvertently took in around 8,000 former Waffen-SS members in 1947, many on the basis of valid documents issued mistakenly. 

The documents – which are discussed in Steinacher's book Nazis on the Run: How Hitler's henchmen fled justice – offer a significant insight into Vatican thinking, particularly, because its own archives beyond 1939 are still closed. The Vatican has consistently refused to comment. Through the Vatican Refugee Commission, war criminals were knowingly provided with false identities.

Conmen and CoIntelpro Part IV

Knights in White Satin

“The brotherhood's strong Catholic roots made the modern knights fervently anti-communist. The order has been largely responsible for the construction of the CIA, and many of its global covert operations.  The founding fathers of the CIA William "Wild Bill" Donovan and Allen Dulles were knights, as were most other heads of the CIA including Ronald Reagan's director William Casey.  Casey gave Pope John Paul II unprecedented access to CIA intelligence including spy satellites and agents.”  

In January 2005, things were to come to a head for Christine Dolan by making the mistake of claiming associations with other genuine organizations who had made no such formal agreements.  When plaintiffs contacted International Justice Mission (IJM) a charity based in Washington, DC. They disclaimed any relationship with Dolan and all contact information for the Global Coalition to End Human Trafficking NOW was removed from the website. The tsunami charity push remained however.

    

 Most interesting of all was a connection with the supportive presence of Knightsbridge Inc., which according to its website was: “Founded in August 1995 by several members of a self-styled US Priory of the Knights of Malta and OSMTH TEMPLAR Knights for the specific purpose of providing an independent vehicle through which focused international and domestic humanitarian assistance and medical relief programs could be organized.”1 Plaintiffs asked for clarification regarding the relationship between the organizations with no response forthcoming. 

Some of the articles and descriptions of Sir Edward Artis Chairman of Knightsbridge International describe his exploits in almost saintly terms including what he terms his penchant for “high Adventure.” Clearly, he enjoys the attention and limelight his chivalrous exploits provide and to which, it seems, he is at pains to cultivate. 

“This modern-day knight has no house but an airplane seat, no shield but his bravado, no sword but his spirit” says one broadcaster or according to another journalist breathlessly singing Artis’s praises, he is: “…a modern-day knight. His valiant steed is an airplane or truck, his armour a bullet-proof vest and his sword a cellular telephone. The hospital, the orphanage and the refugee camp are his field of battle.” Still more gushings exhort him to mythical status: “He's a knighted West Hills philanthropist who has brought antibiotics to Sri Lanka, delivered nets to fishermen, helped plan a Westlake Village church's house-building mission, and told stories the whole time.” 2  The latter end of this quote is particularly true.

In almost every op-ed photo you will find Artis with a stethoscope to the fore, pressed earnestly against a refugee or natural disaster victim. Although Sir - or Dr. Artis - certainly puts some of his money where his mouth is and travels incessantly to oversee his worthy projects there might be a problem with his fundraising and stethoscope roles. 

He is the recipient of the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and numerous other US Military medals for Valour, Bravery, and Courage under fire in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. As well as a medic in Vietnam in 1972 he claims to have been a Green Beret, a Navy SEAL, and an Airborne Paratrooper. Some have claimed that these were faked pointing to the federal felony law under USC Section 18 of the United States Code, and a felony to solicit donations for his aid organization wearing fake regalia. The PhD was legitimately bought online for $3,500 whereas the Knighthood is fake, as is the Vatican passport. One wonders why such a man so decorated would consider the latter as worthy of Chivalric principles.

We begin to get the idea that Artis either has delusions of grandeur or that he is using cover for something quite different. In response to further media outpourings of Artis walking on water the following report appeared in November 2004:

Without in any way denigrating whatever laudable humanitarian works it has undertaken, we only wish to place on record that Knightsbridge International and its chair have no official connection now or ever with the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and of Malta, more popularly known for more than 400 years as the Sovereign Order of Malta, whose headquarters or Grand Magistry is in Rome.

LEOCADIO DE ASIS, president, Grand Cross of Magistral Grace, Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Pius XII Catholic Center, United Nations Avenue, Manila. 3

In the US there has been indiscriminate use and abuse of the term: “Order of Knighthood.” Awards and decorations for valour and meritorious service are one thing, but there is no legal provision for orders of knighthood. Chivalric bodies like the Knights of Malta or the orders of St. John are treated as private associations and registered with the state in which the headquarters reside. It comes as no surprise, that in Artis’s case, a quick hop across to the Russian Knights of Malta priory in 1993 to obtain a Knighthood was a done deal. 

The Knights of Malta are chock full of the neo-conservative Catholic Elite with historical and modern day associations with Opus Dei which in turn have considerable links to neo-con agendas and the establishment of a ‘New Evangelization.’4 Malta knighthoods are awarded to a great deal of high flyers that are part of the military and intelligence community. For instance, the late CIA director William Casey was a Knight of Malta. Former NATO General and US Secretary of State Alexander Haig and former Deputy Director of the CIA General Vernon Walters were Malta Knights. Reinhard Gehlen, the former Nazi intelligence expert and Psyops guru, remains the most colourful if not the most ironic Knight of Malta. In summary, TKM are a occult-fascist organisation, a Jesuit military order of the Catholic Church and therefore with an allegiance to Roman Catholic, papal influence. Although this is a global affair, a particular interest lies in both Latin America and Africa with historic affiliations to freemasonry arising from ex-Nazis and P2 lodge fascists. Its bias is toward a distinctly European elite with strong ties to the unaccountable Bilderberg group. 

With a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable institution such status ignores whether or not a body is an authentic chivalrous order thus creating a false persona is easy, yet hardly fits into the criteria of true chivalric principles. The need for thrills and romanticism tends to endanger lives. According to Artis: “By example, act and deed each of us can make a difference.” Indeed. It starts from the basic precept of being transparent and truthful concerning our professed qualifications and experience which Artis seems at the very least, to have embellished. Questions also need to be asked about Artis and his Knightsbridge International and the solicitation of funds based on fraudulent credentials. His involvement with the Jack Idemas case is another indication Artis is not who he says he is. 

Artis met Idema in Afghanistan in late 2001 and later tried to warn the government and media organizations that Idema was up to some serious naughtiness. Artis having been cultivated by the neo-con Knights of Malta crew as the whiter than white Catholic crusader was directed to shop Idema and to put him out of action as a loose cannon, which he was  in one sense, but it was not to the fact that he was failing in his duties as a counter-terrorism operative in Iraq, but because he very likely tracked CIA assets that the US government wanted to keep in place to continue the “insurgent attacks.” That Osama was likely dead and much of the smokescreen of neo-con operations would be discovered by one of their own, could not be allowed to happen. 5  Artis, as Catholic Knight with a much vaunted mission, may have been served up to place Idema in a suitably bad light in order to deflect attention away from the US covert role. A nest of religious and political vipers could well be steering more than one of its brood around several strategies at once. Meanwhile, Idema remains conveniently out of sight in an Afghan jail.

Conmen and CoIntelpro Part III

Apparently individual experiences of the paranormal can, on some occasions, be shown to arise largely out of the broadest social forces, including even those that result  in cross-national warfare.  

-Raymond A. Eve

Medjugorje

Located in Bosnia-Herzegovina, travel agencies now offer a wide-range of group packages catering to the lucrative “religious tourism” market. 1 It is here, on June 24, 1981, six Catholic schoolchildren claimed to see the Virgin Mary holding an infant in her arms. The next day, the spirit confirmed she was indeed the Virgin Mary and set about providing messages that were to be disseminated around the world. As is so often the case, there is not much room for free-will when these “holy visions” come calling.

Since then, estimates of between 15 and 20 million pilgrims have visited Medjugorje in the 23 years since the apparitions, which included Kronzer and his wife who were both initially under its spell. However, the two drifted apart, his wife falling happily into the arms of the Medjugorje’s “miracle” much to his understandable consternation which it appears he allowed himself to express in a variety of unpleasant ways. Despite his wife obtaining a 30 year restraining order and his family not wishing to see him for the foreseeable future, it does suggest that here is a man that was zealous and emotionally blinded enough to part with his money and objectivity when Dolan made her appearance. Since then his life’s work has apparently been to retrieve his love from the clutches of what he and others perceive to be a classic example of a modern-day cult getting extremely rich on a distortion of the Catholic faith. 

During the Dolan tangle Kronzer was also in a protracted legal wrangle with another Medjugorje off-shoot in the form of Caritis (the Latin word for “love”) based in the US and founded by Terry Colafrancesco. Kronzer caused lawyers to react for Carita’s when he claimed that the group was nothing more than “a massive smuggling and money laundering scheme;” its work in Medjugorje was a “front for weapons dealings ...and other forms of contraband, possibly including illicit drugs;” and that “Colafrancesco was being financed by the Italian Mafia.”2

Both are suing each other for deformation and counter-deformation, with Birmingham, Alabama Jewish Community leader, Daniel J. Burnick of the Sirote Permutt law firm leading the legal attack on behalf of Caritas. Things do not seem to be going Kronzer’s way on this particular occasion  3

Medjugorje is still busy fighting off rumours of being a “psychological terrorist site;”4 comparisons to the Heaven’s gate cult, and an experiment in mind control to obtain money and property – all of which may or may not be true. Christine Dolan went to Medjugorje and discovered orphans and babies could be bought from the “holy” monks there. This is not surprising if we remember that the Franciscan order has quite an historical past which may not be about the exclusive promotion of the whimsy of the Virgin Mary apparitions. Indeed, the Bishop of Mostar, Rarko Peric, his predecessor, Bishop Pavao Zanic, and the Yugoslavian bishops’ conference in l99l, have declared that no supernatural events have ever taken place at Medjugorje.

In World War II up to 700,000 Jews, Serbs and Roma were murdered by the Nazi inspired Croatian Ustashe bands that were often indirectly or directly helped by less than holy Franciscan monks. Nazi loot was filtered through the Vatican bank, the Franciscan Order, and Croatian Liberation Movement which eventually led to a lawsuit being filed in November 1999 by Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian Holocaust survivors, arriving at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals October 7, 2004. 

The action was brought on behalf of the plaintiffs by Kronzer’s colleague and renowned attorney Jonathan Levy who describes himself as an attorney:  “…licensed in California and the District of Columbia [who] has represented organizations and individuals in a variety of Holocaust and World War II related lawsuits including banking, insurance, and slave labor matters.” Levy has invested enormous amounts of time, energy and no doubt money in what appears to be a noble cause. 

The Franciscans were also implicated in nationalistic fanaticism during the Western sponsored ethnic cleaning round of the Balkans war, Medjugorje being the centre of Croatian ultra-nationalism in Herzegovina. It seems convenient that Dolan was investigating trafficking in these parts due to the overwhelming statistics in these regions. It is also no coincidence that the warlords, who were having a high old time following the dictates of Western powers and busy raping and murdering many hundreds of women and children, obviously moved into the nearest market available - the burgeoning network of the mafia. Grief stricken, war-torn countries are fertile grounds for such mafia-lords. 

In 1998 to 1999 while Dolan was either investigating (or networking with) the mafia in the Balkans for the UN, or other interested US agencies Mirko Miskovic, a Belgrade based independent journalist suggested that associates, entrepreneur Maurice Alexander and journalist Jeff Pickett “arranged very odd financial contracts and merged all Balkan mafia groups, moving them into a higher criminal level.”5 He also believes that a covert power struggle was taking place between the noble families of the Houses of the Portuguese Braganca and Karađorđević and agents of the Vatican bank and Opus Dei who sought their demise. This involved Bishop Pavel Maria Hnilica (best known for his involvement in the Roberto Calvi case) and Fr. Jozo Zovko, the original pastor of St. James in Medjugorje, who was initially expelled from Medjugorje for molesting some of the young pilgrims in the village. He is now employed as a fundraiser for orphans at a Medjugorje centre. 

We must not forget the Bosnian Franciscan priest-psychologist, Slavko Barbaric, who is said to be the key facilitator of indoctrinating methods use by Opus Dei as a tool for the Vatican Bank interests, where through the Ustasha Gospa they continue: “…to raise multimillions of Euros every year from unsuspecting pilgrims. This money then funds the Croat militias and the so-called Republic of Herceg-Bosna.”6   This in turn, goes to fund arms and trafficking. While it is not within the scope of this series to explore possible Masonic-Vatican-Opus Dei links, when Dolan came on the scene she may have been used as a convenient cover to further their activities. 

The mysterious Maurice Alexander founded Liverpool-based Film & T.V. Company Network five in 1993 employing roving reporter Jeff Picknett. They encountered a spot of trouble in Bijakovaci, near Medjugorje in West Hercegovina in February 27th of 1998. Pickett and his cameraman Mike Grimes disappeared for a day only to be found by Croatian police of the Hercegovina-Neretva Canton in the settlement of Buna in Mostar on Saturday, 28 February. Maurice Alexander and Philip Kronzer reported their disappearance promptly and described how the two were “physically attacked in Bijakovici, beaten up, and threatened with pistols” by persons unknown. After having their cameras and tapes confiscated, later confirmed by Croatian police, 7 the pair ran in fear of their lives spending the night and the following day wandering over the hills of Hercegovina. The report goes on to say that the police claimed Pickett and his cameraman were filming private houses in Medjugorje, which the police cited as a possible reason for the confiscation of their equipment. It is interesting that Maurice Alexander himself made a point in several public appearances to state that:

…his colleagues had been researching into the story of the disappearance of money collected in Britain and the United States for humanitarian aid for children and refugees in Bosnia Hercegovina. According to Maurice, Franciscan brothers Jozo Zovko and Slavko Barbaric were involved in the fundraising, collecting on behalf of the poor in Medjugorje (orphanage), and a British millionaire was also involved, the owner of the Bernard Ellis steel factory. This British industry baron, according to Maurice, is alleged to have bought arms for the Croatian Military Council (HVO) with the collected money.

        However, Brother Slavko Barbaric, who serves in a monastery in Medjugorje, rejected all such accusations, maintaining that the money ‘never had any kind of connection with buying arms for anyone.’ It would appear that the case of the two British journalists, and their hike in Medjugorje, is still a mystery. Individual journalists have tried to contact the independent Liverpool production studio Network Five International, and have located, up till now, nothing but a PO Box number. 8

Network Five International have moved to New Jersey after completing two more videos outlining the evidence that the Medjugorje  messages from the Virgin Mary are an elaborate hoax. 

In late 2003 Maurice Alexander was arrested by Surrey Police in connection with a harassment campaign aimed at Kronzer. When police found pictures of underage girls on his computer Kronzer was understandably perturbed. However, revelations surfaced that Alexander had sexually assaulted his grandchildren which soured their business relationship. Kronzer did what he does best and filed a complaint against him. From this point the plot thickens to the point where it is almost impossible to see beneath the labyrinth of back-stabbing and double-agendas. 

A Catholic publishing company included a news clipping on their website detailing the reasons for the curious disappearance of Alexander’s “Network Five.” It was said to be due to the uncovering of a multi-billion pound hoax which created the Virgin Mary visions at Medjugorje. The report stated that “Network Five productions is moving from its city centre base and will also place two of its staff under aid protection for the next four weeks.” This included a badly manipulated image of Alexander clearly designed to keep his face from being recognized. 9

Picknett and Grimes were said to have received death threats regarding the making of the film Visions on Demand - The Medjugorje Conspiracy which was released in 1997 with help from an American cultural studies author and journalist E. Michael Jones, also a Catholic and friend of Kronzer. The documentary accuses Franciscan priests of organizing a hoax for a variety of nefarious reasons under investigation from the Vatican. It doesn’t stop there.

Returning to Dolan’s allegations of paedophilia, we find further half-truths and ancillary truths endlessly moving back and forth, both playing each other’s game. Strangely, Kronzer in full awareness or in complete naivety, employed many convicted paedophiles in and around the whole central nexus of Medjugorje which, way before Dolan’s mission had long been deemed a haven for such activities. 

Kronzer’s employees include one David Hoop who went to Medjugorje to get away from the police in Texas, where he was facing many charges for molesting young boys. He lived and worked in Medjugorje for nine years until he invited a “boy lover” from Texas to Medjugorje while the priests turned a blind eye, presumably because it was nothing out of the ordinary for such a place where holy visions and abuse and if we are to believe it, just about every other covert activity from trafficking, drugs, terrorism was taking place. 

Then there is gay priest Richard Brown now serving a 20 year prison sentence for molesting children and Francis Steers, a close friend and employee of both Kronzer and Alexander. He was jailed for two years at Liverpool Crown Court in 2003 after Police discovered over 22,000 indecent images of young children on his computer, while the Kronzer Foundation’s religious researcher Tom Falco confessed to sexually assaulting a teenage boy when in Bosnia during an FBI interview. 10

Although aware that he had been jailed for several years a result the Kronzer Foundation employed Falco on his release. This lends some credence to Dolan’s belief that Kronzer was in fact, a paedophile. Dolan made it plain to all who were associated with the new and improved organisation, that Kronzer molested his children, abused his wife Ardie Talley, and that in reality, the Kronzer Foundation was actually a cover for an international ring of paedophiles that trafficked children to all and sundry. Though why it prevented her from responding to a simple request for accounting statements and thus to bolster her case by remaining within the law is more than puzzling.

Meanwhile, there are a few reasons why Dolan decided to quickly form another organization, the most obvious of which was her anticipation of a default judgement pending from Kronzer’s growing list of lawsuits. Thus she began to transfer her operations to what Kronzer and others believe was to be an identical front for her to continue her source of income from those that were unaware of the preceding actions. Another reason was her professed disquiet with Kronzer’s attorney Jonathan Levy. She had confided to Marie Coady a colleague and editor at Survivor’s Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) that Levy was not to be trusted. In Coady’s words: “She broke the bad news to me that she had only recently discovered that Jonathan Levy, the man who owns and operates the Vatican Bank Claims Web site, is also the lawyer for the Raelian Movement, a bizarre cult that has been in the news recently.” 11

While most had no idea of Dolan’s past (except her father Tom Dolan who was happy to do his daughter’s bidding it seems) it was becoming all apparent to many that far from being an expert on child abuse Dolan was using her connections to defame, threaten and intimidate Kronzer, who, it seems wasn’t averse to employing the same tactics in kind. What may be the case in this particular long standing spat between spook and possible paedophile chief, both are acting as inlets for ponerological channels and thus both have a pedigree that cannot be trusted.

51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis

 
Review by William Hughes

http://baltimore.indymedia.org/newswire/display/5200/index.php

 

---

History can be deceptive. It’s fair to say that some of the sensational never-published-before documents, in this book, will shock those who have accepted Zionism and its supposed history, at face value, as a political movement that was the hope of the Jews. Lenni Brenner, the intrepid author of “Zionism in the Age of Dictators,” reveals disturbing new evidence in his latest effort, that suggest just the opposite. In fact, he makes a compelling case that the Zionist record was “dishonorable.” You can consider this excellent tome as a worthy sequel to his first expose’ on the myopic Zionist zealots of that bygone era.

For openers, Brenner showed how the Zionists had a long history of shameless cooperation with the Nazis, especially after the dictator Adolph Hitler had came to power in 1933. The Zionists were also in bed, to some extent, with the other members of what later became known as WWII’s “Axis of Evil,” that included Benito Mussolini’s Italy, and Tojo Hideki’s Japan. For example, on March 29,1936, Zionists praised Il Duce, and his regime, at the opening of a maritime school, funded by the Fascist government, at Civitavecchia. This is where a Zionist youth group, the “Betar,” trained its sailors for the future Revisionist state. The speakers ignored the fact that on Oct. 3, 1935, Italian troops had invaded Abyssinia.

On another front, the “Third Congress of the Jewish Community of the Far East,” was held in Jan., 1940, in Harbin, Manchuria, then reeling under a brutal military occupation by the Japanese imperial forces. At that time, too, Tokyo was already aligned with Hitler and Italy’s Mussolini, in the notorious Anti-Comintern Pact. Also, keep in mind, that the Japanese’s murderous “Rape of Nanking,” had occurred in Dec., 1937, and the “Crystal Night” incident on Nov. 9, 1938. Nevertheless, the Zionist confab went out of its way to legitimize the Japanese occupation by certifying it as a guarantor of the “equality of all citizens,” in that beleaguered land.

The Zionist also had a trade plan with the Berlin government by which German Jews could redeem their property in Nazi goods exported to then British-occupied Palestine. And to top it all off, the infamous SS-Hptscharf. Adolf Eichmann, had visited Palestine, in October, 1937, as the guest of the Zionists. He also met, in Egypt, with Feivel Polkes, a Zionist operative, whom Eichmann described as a “leading Haganah functionary.” The chain-smoking Polkes was also on the Nazis’ payroll “as an informer.”

Brenner isn’t the first writer to address the mostly taboo subject of how the Zionist leadership cooperated with the Nazis. Rolf Hilberg’s seminal “The Destruction of European Jews”; Hannah Arendt’s “Eichmann in Jerusalem”; Ben Hecht’s “Perfidy”; Edwin Black’s “The Transfer Agreement”; Francis R. Nicosia’s “The Third Reich and the Palestine Question”; Rudolf Vrba and Alan Bestic’s “I Cannot Forgive”; and Rafael Medoff’s “The Deadening Silence: American Jews and the Holocaust,” also dared, with varying public success.

After the Holocaust began in 1942, Eichmann dealt regularly with Dr. Rudolf Kastner, a Hungarian Jew, whom he considered a “fanatical Zionist.” Kastner was later assassinated in Israel as a Nazi collaborator. At issue then, however, was the bargaining over the eventual fate of Hungary’s Jews, who were slated for liquidation in the Nazi-run death camps. Eichmann said this about Kastner, the Zionist representative, “I believe that [he] would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become assimilated into Hungarian society. ‘You can have the others,’ he would say, ‘but let me have this group here.’ And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful. I would let his groups escape.”

Readers, too, will be surprised to learn, that after the Nuremberg Anti-Jewish Race Laws were enacted in Sept., 1935, that there were only two flags that were permitted to be displayed in all of Nazi Germany. One was Hitler’s favorite, the Swastika. The other was the blue and white banner of Zionism. The Zionists were also allowed to publish their own newspaper. The reasons for this Reich-sponsored favoritism was, according to the author: The Zionists and the Nazis had a common interest, making German Jews emigrate to Palestine.

As early as June 21, 1933, the German Zionist Federation was sending a secret memorandum to the Nazis, which said, in part:

“It is our opinion that an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying to the national state [German Reich] can be brought about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims as a social, cultural and moral renewal of Jewry- -indeed, that such a national renewal must first create the decisive social and spiritual premises for all solutions...”

Incredibly, Avraham Stern, the leader of the notorious “Stern Gang,” late in 1940, made a written proposal to Hitler, by which the Jewish militias in Palestine, would fight on “Germany’s side,” in the war against England, in exchange for the Nazis help in resolving the “Jewish Question” in Europe, and their assistance in creating an “historic Jewish state.” By this date, German troops had already marched into Prague, invaded Poland, and had built the first concentration camp at Auschwitz. The deranged Stern had further bragged about how the Zionist organizations were “closely related to the totalitarian movements of Europe in [their] ideology and structure.” Stern’s obscene proposal was found in the German embassy, in Turkey, after WWII.

Finally, I think Brenner was right, when he wrote, “This book presents 51 historic documents to indict Zionism for repeated attempts to collaborate with Adolf Hitler. The evidence, not I, will convince you of the truth of this issue...Exposing the Zionist role in the [Nazi] era is part of the scrutiny of the past, required of historians.”

All of the above becomes even more important today in light of the critical fact that it helps to subject Zionist Israel to the examination called for by its crimes, past and present.
