SwiSS Neutrality Nazi Style?

As a haven for tax evaders and money launderers, and the home of Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the world's central bank--accountable to no one--I always questioned the letter and spirit of Swiss neutrality, especially during WWII.   Despite its neutral, tolerant (women didn't get the right to vote until 1971!), and peaceful image, Switzerland has a strong military, and I might add, racist, tradition. Ironically, it is Europe's best-armed nation. Military service remains compulsory for male citizens under the constitution. Moreover, for such a neutral country, they sure are very involved in the affairs of the international community.

“The country has been a member of the UN since 2002, although it has, in fact, fully participated in the activities of the specialised agencies such as Unesco, WHO, FAO, ILO, Unicef and others, for decades.

A nationwide vote was needed to join the world body and some 55%  voted in favour. Switzerland is a member of Nato's Partnership for Peace program, but there are no plans to join the military alliance, as this would compromise neutrality.

UN membership has been hailed as a major step forward into the concert of nations but, in fact, Switzerland has continually supported international peace efforts since the Second World War, while stopping short of joining UN peacekeeping forces.

The country has been involved in truce supervision work following the Korean War, and in the Middle East since 1967. Swiss election observers have been sent to Africa and eastern Europe, and a 220-strong Swiss army company (Swisscoy) has been stationed for several years in Kosovo in support of international peacekeeping efforts in the Balkans.

Switzerland was an early member of the Council of Europe, and more recently of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

And isn't it a little suspicious that this neutral policy greatly benefits and protects the same group that signed the Act on the Neutrality of Switzerland  into existence: the powerful?  Originally, it was the Great Powers (Austria, Britain, France, Prussia and Russia), but, nevertheless, continues to benefit and protect the assets of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals on earth.

I mean, what made Switzerland so special that even Hitler himself seemed to respect their impartial status? Could it be that Switzerland was a secret lifeline, an endless stream of revenue for the Nazi dictator?  The answer is yes, and to be fair, it was a two-way street, as there is no question that Switzerland, as well as many other great powers profited greatly from the Fuehrer's victims.  Five BIS directors were tried for war crimes after WWII. Of the five, three were convicted, but served very little time.

Swiss banks not only helped fund the Nazi war effort by accepting gold and other assets, they laundered the  money that Germany could use to buy material, and accept looted property that was being held for top Nazi officials; Switzerland also made it possible for top Nazi officers to escape justice. Even worse, until very recently, Swiss bank officials refused to help Holocaust survivors and the families of its victims claim THEIR assets, insisting, among other things, on death certificates for people who perished in the concentration camps.

Interestingly, the dissolution of the Knights Templar occurred at the same time as the founding of Switzerland...okay, two months later. The Swiss cross is a simplified Templar's cross, using the same color combination.   Look at the following pictures of the Nazis invading Poland in 1939. Notice the distinctive white crosses--the same cross displayed on the Swiss flag--on the tanks, which, mysteriously disappeared from view at a later time. Make of it what you will.

“The Power of financial capitalism had [a] far reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

This system was to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.

The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks, which were themselves private corporations.

Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its ability to control treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence co-operative politicians by subsequent rewards in the business world." -- Carrol Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966 - [Bill Clinton's mentor and Georgetown University professor]

The Fascist Prison Island of Freedom.

Unlike Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy had no law criminalizing homosexual activity. Why not?  Well, it was thought that such a provision would publicize homosexuality. Like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Benito Mussolini declared Italy too masculine for homosexuality to exist. Nevertheless, despite its non-existence, a group of 45 thought to be homosexual men were labelled "degenerate", expelled from their homes and interned on the  island of San Domino, in the Tremitis.

"Unwittingly, the Fascists had created a corner of Italy where you were expected to be openly gay." -- Alan Johnson, BBC News

Needless to say, despite the lack of sanctions, the shame connected to homosexuality at the time--that has not been totally eradicated--made life for homosexuals in Italy extraordinarily unpleasant.  So, in spite of the prison island and their shackled exile status, for the first time in their lives, these men could be themselves

"But some of the few accounts given by former exiles make clear that life was not all bad on San Domino.

It seems that the day-to-day prison regime was comparatively relaxed.

We did theatre, and we could dress as women there and no-one would say anything”

Giuseppe B San Domino inmate

Unwittingly, the Fascists had created a corner of Italy where you were expected to be openly gay.

For the first time in their lives, the men were in a place where they could be themselves - free of the stigma that normally surrounded them in devoutly Catholic 1930s Italy.

What this meant to the exiles was explained in a rare interview with a San Domino veteran, named only as Giuseppe B - published many years ago in the gay magazine, Babilonia - who said that in a way the men were better off on the island.

"In those days if you were a femminella [a slang Italian word for a gay man] you couldn't even leave your home, or make yourself noticed - the police would arrest you," he said of his home town near Naples.

"On the island, on the other hand, we would celebrate our Saint's days or the arrival of someone new... We did theatre, and we could dress as women there and no-one would say anything."

And he said that of course, there was romance, and even fights over lovers.

Some prisoners wept, Giuseppe said, when the outbreak of World War II in 1939 led to the end of the internal exile regime on San Domino, and the men were returned to a kind of house arrest in the places where they came from.

April: The Cruelest Month?

T.S.Eliot called April the cruelest month, and indeed, at the end of this April, in particular, it may seem that a twisted sort of reverence is being paid to the tragedies of Aprils elapsed in time.

“April is the cruelest month, breeding
lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
memory and desire, stirring
dull roots with spring rain.”

― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land

Bloody April, "officially" refers to April 1917.It's the name given to the British air support operations during the Battle of Arras, during which particularly heavy casualties were suffered by the Royal Flying Corps at the hands of the German Luftstreitkräfte.

Interestingly, on April 1, 1778, Oliver Pollock, a New Orleans businessman, created the "$" symbol, a mark that, no doubt, underlies much of the bloodletting and violence,  not only in April, of course, but throughout history.

Sentencing Two Populations to Generations of Debt Slavery

The first real test of establishing America’s commitment to "democracy" came from Greece after WWII. During the war, the Left Wing National Liberation Front had provided the majority of resistance to the Nazis. It also set up interim governments across the nation. Though its military government leaders were communist, the partisan governments bore no resemblance to Stalinist Russia. They were decentralized and participatory. The peasants were treated fairly and their status, raised. It was a real people’s government. The goal was to make Greece independent, free from all ties.

But Winston Churchill claimed anarchy and demanded the return of the monarchy. He wanted to keep Greece in their sphere of influence in the Mediterranean for their own political ends. In other words, they wanted to restore the old order in Greece. They wanted the King back on his throne because he was the best guarantee of British interest in Greece: political, economic, and strategic, despite the fact that all of the Greek people hated the oppressive regime of the King.

So America stepped in and a network of concentration camps were set up across the Greek islands while right winged death squads terrorized villages. A favorite technique was beheading. President Truman gave $400 million to aid in restoring the old order. In 1947, 74,000 tons of military equipment was sent to Greece including massive stocks of napalm, and during the Civil War in Greece, the Truman Doctrine was announced which was in effect to crush the peasant and worker based anti-Nazi resistance and restore the traditional fascist order. As a result, 150,000 Greeks were killed. Greece was the first major police task which the United States took on in the postwar world.

Fast forward almost 60 years, and the European feudal system is scapegoating Greece, along with its tiny neighbor, Cyprus --many Cypriots consider themselves Greeks; they share the same National Anthem, are Orthodox and of course they speak Greek--once again, only this time, instead of tanks, they're using banks.

"At least 1,600 Greek businesses - from shipping, retail to tourism - will suffer from the Cyprus bailout deal announced on Sunday after a showdown between Brussels and Nicosia, according to Vasilis Korkidis, head of the National Confederation of Greek Commerce (ESEE).

“The tragic situation in Cyprus will certainly have immediate effects on the Greek market, since a large part of the domestic businesses maintain close ties with Cypriot companies,” Korkidis said in a statement on Tuesday. He was particularly critical of the capital controls and the impending haircut on large deposits (over 100,000 euros) expected to be more than 40%.

Greece's exports to Cyprus exceed 1billion euros annually and the country is Cyprus’ biggest trade partner, followed by the United Kingdom and Germany.

According to Korkidis, the Eurogroup’s Cyprus deal establishes new, severely punitive rules for countries needing emergency aid in the future.

He also slammed the Eurogroup deal (which he called the "German plan" to stress the key role played by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the negotiations) for “crippling” Cyprus. He said the deal is “tragic” because it “sentences” Cyprus - the country’s markets and economy - to a long period of recession and debt.

Without blinking an eye, the troika of International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank (ECB) wipes out the savings of a people, while imposing draconian capital controls, sentencing two populations to generations of debt slavery. This is the new model. Other countries will surely follow.

List Released With 132 Names Who Pulled Cyprus Deposits Ahead Of "Confiscation Day"

With every passing day, it becomes clearer and clearer the Cyprus deposit confiscation "news" was the most unsurprising outcome for the nation's financial system and was known by virtually everyone on the ground days and weeks in advance: first it was disclosed that Russians had been pulling their money, then it was suggested the president himself had made sure some €21 million of his family's money was parked safely in London, then we showed a massive surge in Cyprus deposit outflows in February, and now the latest news is that a list of 132 companies and individuals has emerged who withdrew their €-denominated deposits in the two weeks from March 1 to March 15, among which the previously noted company Loutsios & Sons which is alleged to have ties with the current Cypriot president Anastasiadis.

From Sigma:

"Money transfers made within 15 days, namely from 1 until March 15. On Friday, March 15, had met the Eurogroup, which officially decided to impose a tax on deposits by companies and individuals in all financial institutions in Cyprus.

These 132 companies and individuals have withdrawn all deposits in euros, dollars and rubles, which were transferred to other banks outside Cyprus.

The disclosure of the list, which shows that the outflow of deposits from local banks other financial institutions outside Cyprus became massively raises suspicion that some had inside information about the decisions taken by the other 16 eurozone countries in exchange for financing deficits of the economy.

In listings, and the company is Loutsios and Sons Ltd, which carried 21 million deposit in a UK bank, while the owner of the company is alleged to have family ties with the President of the Republic, Nikos Anastasiadis.

The first column are names of companies and individuals in the second record of the amounts withdrawn in the third column refers to the amount withdrawn in the same currency, the currency in the fourth and the fifth and last column refers to the date of transfer.

Big Pharma and the Nazi Roots of the European Union.

Slowly but surely, step by step, over the last six decades, Europe has appeared to be awkwardly stumbling toward a more cohesive union, thee Brussels European Union (EU). I say appeared because the truth is, from the very beginning, dating back to 1938--officially--the path of this union was a carefully planned route to establishing a dictatorship of corporate interests in Europe.

That's right, the people conducting the monstrous medical experiments were only executing the commercial interests of Bayer and Hoecht, who wanted to test their newly patented drugs in Auschwitz and Buchenwald to ready them for the world market. The bottom line here is that the history leading up to the gradual establishment of the EU is much more interesting, and in some ways, much worse, than what's reported in the mainstream media or taught in the schools. Of course, this is true for most of history, but I digress.

Before we get started, please take note of the propaganda terminology, or Nazi Newspeak, that is used in documents, speeches, and articles before, during and after the war. For example, the inscription on the Auschwitz concentration camp that read: "Labor liberates" was this Oil and Drug cartel's Nazi new-speak for extermination through labor.

Okay, back to the Nazi roots of the EU. It was German Scientific Researcher,  Dr. Matthais Rath, former director of the Linus Pauling Institute and now director of the Rath Foundation, who, while investigating problems of human health, discovered approximately 50,000 documents that reveal and prove that the "undemocratic structure of the “Brussels EU” has its roots in the post WWII plans of the IG Farben/Nazi-coalition in a conquered Europe." Moreover, he discovered that patents--in this case, Big Pharma--are used as a tool for obstructing innovation in the area of health and welfare, that the un-patentable--vitamins and other natural substances--are being actively fought against for primarily economic reasons. After all, perpetuating illness is big business.

Here's the dirty little secret that is gradually being exposed through people like Dr. Rath and author of IBM and the Holocaust, amongst several other very well documented books, Edwin Black.  WWII, like WWI was initiated on behalf of the German pharmaceutical/chemical cartel, and other commercial interests. Hitler and the Nazis were merely the ruthless puppets; yes, the corporate interests invested in the Nazis. In fact, unbeknownst to many, after the war, in 1945, 24 men from IG Farben were put on trial for their crimes. The IG Farben cartel became the largest supporter of the Nazi's rise to power, and eventually the rise of the Brussels European Union. The terms 'coalition' and 'marriage' were used during the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunals to characterize the relationship between the Cartel and the Nazis in preparing and launching WWII.

"The I.G. Farben Trial, the sixth Subsequent Nuremberg Proceeding, was tried by Military Tribunal VI, which had been created by the US Military Government for Germany on August 8, 1947.

An indictment filed on May 3 named 24 defendants, all in the I.G. Farben industrial concern, and listed five counts: the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression and invasions of other countries; committing war crimes and crimes against humanity through the plunder and spoliation of public and private property in countries and territories that came under German occupation; committing war crimes and crimes against humanity through participating..."

After WW II, in the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, the military and political puppets, the Nazi henchmen, were presented to the world, a few punished for their egregious crimes against humanity, while the engineers of the war, the puppeteers and political experts for the Cartel's conquest plans escaped, receiving at most, a slap on the wrist behind the scenes.

For example, in 1948, the CEO of Bayer, Fritz Ter Meer was sentenced to seven years in prison in the Nuremberg Trials. By 1956, he was not only out of prison, but, once again, chairman of the board at Bayer, the corporate flagship and driving force of the Brussels EU. However, that's only a small part of the story, there is so much more. The European Union was planned well in advance to WW II.  Not to mention,  the overall process began before WW I.

The key architect or founding father (12 founding fathers) of the EU,  known as "the first King of modern Europe" was a man named, Walter Hallstein, a prominent lawyer in Nazi Germany. As a prominent lawyer, he was a member of the delegation, "Working Group of German-Italian Legal Relations," obviously a deceptive cover.  In June 1938, the Hitler regime sent Hallstein to Rome to negotiate with Mussolini's lawyers to lay the dictatorial framework for the EU. His assignment: "to model the 'Brussels EU' after the original plans of the Nazi/IG Farben coalition to rule Europe through a 'Central Cartel Office'."

After the war, Hallstein was interrogated by the Denazification committee of the allies. However, he blatantly denied any association with the Nazis when, in reality, he was associated with the most notorious professional pillar of the Nazi regime  called the Rechtswahrer Organization or the Nazi Association of Law Protectors .

From there he was picked up by the first German chancellor, from the IG Farben cartel, Konrad Adenauer--several chancellors came directly from this cartel--and promoted to first chief negotiator for preparing the Rome treaties, which became the legal foundation of the Brussels EU in 1957. Subsequently, he was promoted by West German government as the first president of the EU commission, and was given a staff of  8,000  to create what we know today as the Brussels EU.

The EU has the exclusive right to initiate legislation. It's an outright dictatorship on behalf of corporate interests masked by the propaganda that praises Europe as the model of peace and prosperity. The ultimate goal is the subjugation of Europe --and later, the entire world--under complete economic, political, and judicial control of the Nazi/IG Farben coalition better known as the "Thousand Year Reich".

Fast forward to today and the global powers have not yet given  up.  Far from it.  While they are forgoing a military attempt to finally institute this global dictatorship, they are, instead, using economic strangulation and political coercion to further their long-term economic and political goals.

Genocidal Juggernaut

9/11/2001 is the catalyst for many of the events shaping our world today, so it's very important to fully understand what took place on that fateful day, and even more importantly, the response. Long time researcher and political investigator of the hidden or stolen history of the United States, John Judge (video below) says it's essential that you comprehend that since the end of WWII--and even during WWII--there have been two governments operating simultaneously: one that's visible and one that's not.

He goes on to say that since WWII, the creation of a permanent war economy and the inception of a national security state have carried out and carry out covert and overt operations and wars that have led to the deaths of at least 10 million people, and intervention into the politics of hundreds of countries around the world.

Moreover, the history of the concentration of wealth and technological developments has contributed to the transformation of the industrial age into the information age. The end of WWII marked the end of the colonial period and eventually the neo-colonial period to the period we’re now in, commonly referred to as the neo-liberal model of control. This type of control is much more indirect, through economic manipulations—loans, structural adjustment plans, etc—that let you maintain an illusion of what the powers that be like to call a free market, and/or the democratic state as long as it doesn’t interfere with the economic concentrations or as Buckminster Fuller called it in his last book, GRUNCH Gross Universal Cash Heist.

When you have this type of development in capital economies- an ever growing concentration of wealth and a leap forward in the technological capabilities--labor becomes expendable. Add to that the devaluation of currency and the transformation of a production economy into a service/speculation economy where unregulated derivatives are more than ten times the size of the stock market, basically, an economy of theft, and you get a tremendous pressure for genocide.

A Fourth Reich?

We all know Germany lost the war militarily in 1945; however, as documented in the Red House Report, which lays out a secret three-stage strategy for the Fourth Reich by Nazi industrialists, it appears that this plan for a strong German empire has, in some part at least, come to pass.

In stage one, the industrialists were to 'prepare themselves to finance the Nazi Party, which would be forced to go underground as a Maquis', using the term for the French resistance.

In stage two would see the government allocating large sums to German industrialists to establish a 'secure post-war foundation in foreign countries', while 'existing financial reserves must be placed at the disposal of the party so that a strong German empire can be created after the defeat'.

In stage three, German businesses would set up a 'sleeper' network of agents abroad through front companies, which were to be covers for military research and intelligence, until the Nazis returned to power"

For years, the Nazis had been covertly sending funds through neutral countries.  Martin Bormann, "an unquestioned genius of finance and administration", who set up "750 corporations throughout the world as depositories of money, patents, bearer bonds, and shares of blue chip industries of the US and Europe," informed a gathering of Nazi industrialists on August 10, 1944, at Strasbourg, of his flight-of-capital--to-safe havens state policy, which was launched immediately after this meeting.

"The war cannot be won by us; we must take steps in preparation for a postwar commercial campaign." - Martin Bormann, August 10, 1944

A 1943 FBI report stated:

After the rupture of diplomatic relations with the Axis by various countries of Latin America, the Axis began to use Argentina as the base of its espionage and sabotage activities against all American nations. It had been established that from this base of operations the Germans have spread the net of their subversive organizations to at least ten American countries, and that as a result of their work a large number of American lives, considerable American property, and the lives and property of the citizens and countries of the united nations which are engaged in the struggle against the totalitarian powers have been lost.

"The Economic Miracle"

Under the Marshall Plan, the money that was pumped into the economy arrived at the right time to rebuild German infrastructure.  But it was Martin Bormann who set the foundation for postwar recovery.  Because juxtaposed to the "Marshall Plan" funds, the  money funneled to "neutral" countries, under Bormann, and private investments from Swiss banks began to flow back into Germany, so that by 1951, 1936 levels of production were reached.The Korean War boosted the German economy to an "era of booming good times" when the Pentagon placed huge orders in West Germany to supply its needs for armies in Korea.

The following is from a secret memorandum written by high-ranking German officers and distributed among an elite group of German leaders in 1950. It can be found in T.H. Tetens’ 1953 book, Germany Plots With the Kremlin.

"Economic difficulties will one day plunge the United States down from its present dizzy heights. Such a catastrophe can be brought about through crafty manipulations and through artificially engendered crises. Such maneuvers are routine measures which have already been employed in international power struggle and will be used again and again as long as economic rivals fight for power positions and markets in the world.

It is quite conceivable that America, weakened by a depression, will one day seek support from a resurrected Germany. Such a prospect would open tremendous possibilities for the future power position of a bloc introducing a new order in the world."

Today, Germany is an economic powerhouse. While Spain suffers an unemployment rate of 23.3% and the rest of the euro zone, 10.7% Germany's unemployment rate continues to decline, their trade surplus, the largest in the world.

Recently, in addition to trying to reignite the debate over creating a EU constitution, and imposing financial sanctions on Hungary, while slamming their constitution, leaders of the EU nations signed a German-driven fiscal compact treaty on March 2, to enforce EU deficit-cutting and debt reduction rules more strictly. 

What about the German military?

Well, look out for the young aristocrat, Baron Karl Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg - or, for short, Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg - who took Germany by storm for a little while in 2009. Before age 40, he was the German Defense Minister, and one of the most popular politicians in Germany. In an interview, the Mayor of Guttenberg told journalists: “His correct title is Reichsfreiherr Baron of the Holy Roman Empire!

While in office, he set out to redesign the German military. In Nov. 2010, he said that Germany should "use military force" at a security conference in Berlin. He urged Germany to “be prepared to use its military to defend the country’s economic interests.” He then noted that the competing demands of nations today for raw materials made it imperative that Germany—a nation whose export-driven economy is heavily dependent upon imported raw materials—should be prepared to use its military forces to secure trade routes for raw materials and exported goods.

His wife, “Stephanie, a Luthern, (Baron Guttenberg is an ecumenical Catholic) is a great-granddaughter of Otto von Bismarck, the founder and “Iron Chancellor” of the 19th-century German empire." Unfortunately, for him, he resigned over a plagarism issue, and is currently a "distinguished statesman" at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies” in the US. Nevertheless, I wouldn't count him out just yet.

The Plan to Feminize the Führer

The CIA had some pretty crazy ideas, such as trying to create their own Hello  Kitty by embedding a wiretap mechanism in a cat. The problem was they couldn't control Hello Kitty's behavior. Another one of their brilliant plans involved contaminated cigars treated with a chemical intended to make Castro's beard fall out.

But, it's the British who came up with the best hare-brained schemes of all: feed the Führer female sex hormones.

The oestrogen plan is outlined in a new book Prof Ford has written called Secret Weapons: Technology, Science And The Race To Win World War II.

He said the idea was just one of many strange attempts to bring a swifter end to the war.

Other possibilities included dropping glue on Nazi troops in an attempt to stick them to the ground and disguising bombs in tins of fruit being imported to Germany.

They also considered dropping boxes of poisonous snakes on enemy troops.

However, he said a plan for a giant water-borne Catherine wheel full of explosives - dubbed the Great Panjandrum - for an assault on the Normandy coast was the oddest of the lot.

"It couldn't have worked yet they spent what, in modern parlance £1 million on the idea, testing it over the waters of Cardiff and Western Super Mare."

Developed in top secret, it was nonetheless paraded on the waterfront at Westward Ho! in north Devon.

Prof Ford unearthed details of the hare-brained schemes by looking through stacks of recently declassified files.

2 Days After 9/11 CIA Op Tells Dan Rather Myth of Osama Bin-Laden

Former CIA officer and veteran, Milt Bearden talks to Dan Rather (starts at 32:12), two days after 9/11 occurred, about the "myth of Osama Bin Laden." Bearden, who observed Bin-Laden in action, was not convinced he was capable of masterminding 9/11.

"I know we live in a country where we we're often told the first thing that comes to your mind, put it down...put the little mark in there. I feel slightly uncomfortable bec ause I spent so many years wondering how the myth of Osama Bin Laden got started.  We have the Osama Bin Laden who is the great war hero in Afghanistan; we have the Osama Bin Laden who was trained by the CIA, funded and supported by CIA, during three-years of war. I was there the same time Osama Bin Laden was there. He was not the great war hero that went in and fought the Soviet Union to a stand still. The CIA had nothing to do with him. I think that mythological Osama Bin Laden, never mind that he's an evil man...that there is another man out there.
[...]
This was a tremendously sophisticated operation against the United States...more sophisticated than anything, anyone would ascribe to Osama Bin Laden. I think we need to do a little homework. We need to appoint a 'team b' that looks for somebody else. I'm just not convinced it was Bin-Laden." - Milt Bearden, former CIA officer, speaking to Dan Rather on 9/13/2001.

New World Order

Map above was was discovered by Helen Somers in a window in Philadelphia during World War II. Completed in October 1941, before Pearl Harbor, it was printed in bright colors by cartographer, Maurice Gomberg in Philadelphia in 1942, and  displayed in his store window. Helen Somers purchased several. At least a few original copies are still in existence, including one at the Library of Congress.

"To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas." - Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization

"We are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." - Arthur Schlesinger Jr., 'The CFR Journal Foreign Affairs', August 1975.

"A world government can intervene militarily in the internal affairs of any nation when it disapproves of their activities." - Kofi Annan, U.N. Secretary General

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or *promulgated* [emphasis mine], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this *scenario*, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." -- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." -- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

"The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies [marxism/fascism/socialism v. democracy/capitalism] to enable them [the Illuminati] to divide larger and larger portions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other." -- Myron Fagan

"No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation." -- David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

"In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers.

"An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." -- U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

"The world can therefore seize the opportunity [Persian Gulf crisis] to fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind." -- George Herbert Walker Bush

"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." -- Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

"The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments' plans. " -- British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." -- Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)

"What is important is to dwell upon the increasing evidence of the existence of a secret conspiracy, throughout the world, for the destruction of organized government and the letting loose of evil." Christian Science Monitor editorial, June 19th, l920

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." -- New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922

"From the days of Sparticus, Wieskhopf, Karl Marx, Trotsky, Rosa Luxemberg, and Emma Goldman, this world conspiracy has been steadily growing. This conspiracy played a definite recognizable role in the tragedy of the French revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century. And now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their head and have become the undisputed masters of that enormous empire." -- Winston Churchill, stated to the London Press, in l922.

"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world." -- Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June l931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen.

"The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semioccult power which....pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I." -- British military historian MajorGeneral J.F.C. Fuller, l941

"For a long time I felt that FDR had developed many thoughts and ideas that were his own to benefit this country, the United States. But, he didn't. Most of his thoughts, his political ammunition, as it were, were carefully manufactured for him in advanced by the Council on Foreign Relations-One World Money group. Brilliantly, with great gusto, like a fine piece of artillery, he exploded that prepared "ammunition" in the middle of an unsuspecting target, the American people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support.

"The UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power.

"The depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank." -- Curtis Dall, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his book, My Exploited Father-in-Law

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson." -- A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, l933

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." -- Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure." -- Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New York Times.

"Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government - a bureaucratic elite." -- Senator William Jenner, 1954

"The case for government by elites is irrefutable" -- Senator William Fulbright, Former chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated at a 1963 symposium entitled: The Elite and the Electorate - Is Government by the People Possible?

"The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nationstates involved. As managers and creators of the system ,they will rule the future." -- U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups." -- Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

"The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship." -- Former Congressman John Rarick 1971

"The directors of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation." -- The Christian Science Monitor, September 1, l961

"The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault." -- CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs.

"The planning of UN can be traced to the 'secret steering committee' established by Secretary [of State Cordell] Hull in January 1943. All of the members of this secret committee, with the exception of Hull, a Tennessee politician, were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They saw Hull regularly to plan, select, and guide the labors of the [State] Department's Advisory Committee. It was, in effect, the coordinating agency for all the State Department's postwar planning." -- Professors Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter, writing in their study of the CFR, "Imperial Brain Trust: The CFR and United States Foreign Policy." (Monthly Review Press, 1977).

"The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government." - Harpers, July l958

"The old world order changed when this war-storm broke. The old international order passed away as suddenly, as unexpectedly, and as completely as if it had been wiped out by a gigantic flood, by a great tempest, or by a volcanic eruption. The old world order died with the setting of that day's sun and a new world order is being born while I speak, with birth-pangs so terrible that it seems almost incredible that life could come out of such fearful suffering and such overwhelming sorrow." -- Nicholas Murray Butler, in an address delivered before the Union League of Philadelphia, Nov. 27, 1915

"The peace conference has assembled. It will make the most momentous decisions in history, and upon these decisions will rest the stability of the new world order and the future peace of the world." -- M. C. Alexander, Executive Secretary of the American Association for International Conciliation, in a subscription letter for the periodical International Conciliation (1919)

"If there are those who think we are to jump immediately into a new world order, actuated by complete understanding and brotherly love, they are doomed to disappointment. If we are ever to approach that time, it will be after patient and persistent effort of long duration. The present international situation of mistrust and fear can only be corrected by a formula of equal status, continuously applied, to every phase of international contacts, until the cobwebs of the old order are brushed out of the minds of the people of all lands."

Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, president of the World Federation of Education Associations (August 1927), quoted in the book International Understanding: Agencies Educating for a New World (1931)

"... when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people ... will hate the new world order ... and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people." -- H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)

"The term Internationalism has been popularized in recent years to cover an interlocking financial, political, and economic world force for the purpose of establishing a World Government. Today Internationalism is heralded from pulpit and platform as a 'League of Nations' or a 'Federated Union' to which the United States must surrender a definite part of its National Sovereignty. The World Government plan is being advocated under such alluring names as the 'New International Order,' 'The New World Order,' 'World Union Now,' 'World Commonwealth of Nations,' 'World Community,' etc. All the terms have the same objective; however, the line of approach may be religious or political according to the taste or training of the individual." -- Excerpt from A Memorial to be Addressed to the House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal Church in General Convention (October 1940)

"In the first public declaration on the Jewish question since the outbreak of the war, Arthur Greenwood, member without portfolio in the British War Cabinet, assured the Jews of the United States that when victory was achieved an effort would be made to found a new world order based on the ideals of 'justice and peace.'" -- Excerpt from article entitled "New World Order Pledged to Jews," in The New York Times (October 1940)

"If totalitarianism wins this conflict, the world will be ruled by tyrants, and individuals will be slaves. If democracy wins, the nations of the earth will be united in a commonwealth of free peoples, and individuals, wherever found, will be the sovereign units of the new world order."

The Declaration of the Federation of the World, produced by the Congress on World Federation, adopted by the Legislatures of North Carolina (1941), New Jersey (1942), Pennsylvania (1943), and possibly other states.

"The statement went on to say that the spiritual teachings of religion must become the foundation for the new world order and that national sovereignty must be subordinate to the higher moral law of God." -- American Institute of Judaism, excerpt from article in The New York Times (December 1942)

"There are some plain common-sense considerations applicable to all these attempts at world planning. They can be briefly stated: 1. To talk of blueprints for the future or building a world order is, if properly understood, suggestive, but it is also dangerous. Societies grow far more truly than they are built. A constitution for a new world order is never like a blueprint for a skyscraper." -- Norman Thomas, in his book What Is Our Destiny? (1944)

"He [John Foster Dulles] stated directly to me that he had every reason to believe that the Governor [Thomas E. Dewey of New York] accepts his point of view and that he is personally convinced that this is the policy that he would promote with great vigor if elected. So it is fair to say that on the first round the Sphinx of Albany has established himself as a prima facie champion of a strong and definite new world order." -- Excerpt from article by Ralph W. Page in The Philadelphia Bulletin (May 1944)

"The United Nations, he told an audience at Harvard University, 'has not been able--nor can it be able--to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand.' ... The new world order that will answer economic, military, and political problems, he said, 'urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach.'" -- Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, in an article entitled "Rockefeller Bids Free Lands Unite: Calls at Harvard for Drive to Build New World Order" -- The New York Times (February 1962)

"The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a new world order." -- Richard Nixon, in Foreign Affairs (October 1967)

"He [President Nixon] spoke of the talks as a beginning, saying nothing more about the prospects for future contacts and merely reiterating the belief he brought to China that both nations share an interest in peace and building 'a new world order.'" -- Excerpt from an article in The New York Times (February 1972)

"If instant world government, Charter review, and a greatly strengthened International Court do not provide the answers, what hope for progress is there? The answer will not satisfy those who seek simple solutions to complex problems, but it comes down essentially to this: The hope for the foreseeable lies, not in building up a few ambitious central institutions of universal membership and general jurisdiction as was envisaged at the end of the last war, but rather in the much more decentralized, disorderly and pragmatic process of inventing or adapting institutions of limited jurisdiction and selected membership to deal with specific problems on a case-by-case basis ... In short, the 'house of world order' will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. It will look like a great 'booming, buzzing confusion,' to use William James' famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault." -- Richard N. Gardner, in Foreign Affairs (April 1974)

"The existing order is breaking down at a very rapid rate, and the main uncertainty is whether mankind can exert a positive role in shaping a new world order or is doomed to await collapse in a passive posture. We believe a new order will be born no later than early in the next century and that the death throes of the old and the birth pangs of the new will be a testing time for the human species." -- Richard A. Falk, in an article entitled "Toward a New World Order: Modest Methods and Drastic Visions," in the book On the Creation of a Just World Order (1975)

"My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order." -- Henry Kissinger, in address before the General Assembly of the United Nations, October 1975)

"At the old Inter-American Office in the Commerce Building here in Roosevelt's time, as Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs under President Truman, as chief whip with Adlai Stevenson and Tom Finletter at the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco, Nelson Rockefeller was in the forefront of the struggle to establish not only an American system of political and economic security but a new world order." -- Part of article in The New York Times (November 1975)

"But it became clear as time went on that in Mr. Bush's mind the New World Order was founded on a convergence of goals and interests between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, so strong and permanent that they would work as a team through the U.N. Security Council." -- Excerpt from A. M. Rosenthal, in The New York Times (January 1991)

"I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ... At the end of the war in the Persian Gulf, press for a comprehensive Middle East settlement and for a 'new world order' based not on Pax Americana but on peace through law with a stronger U.N. and World Court." -- George McGovern, in The New York Times (February 1991)

Holocaust: The Overlooked Evil.

(Below) Jewish men are forced to dig their own graves before being executed.
Auschwitz has become the prevailing symbol of the evil perpetrated during the Holocaust, known as one of the darkest periods in history; yet 70% of the Jews murdered during the Holocaust were already dead by the time Auschwitz became fully operational. Not only that, Auschwitz was a labor camp as well as a death camp, and for every commonly known camp such as Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald, etc. there were literally thousands more the general public has never heard of. All together, there are more than 20,000 camps, of which many are solely death camps.

So, why then is Auschwitz the symbol?

This is largely a result of the large number of survivors, mostly Western European Jews, who could go on and tell their story after they were liberated. The greatest number of victims were the Eastern European Jews who, if they were "lucky" enough to survive, were locked behind the Iron Curtain, unable to tell their story.

National Geographic recently aired the special, Hitler's Hidden Holocaust , which reveals the little known part of history and the seldom heard horrific story of the specialized units called “Einsatzgruppen” (a German term, meaning "action-groups") who played a major role in the extermination of Jews (murdered more than 1.5 million Jews point blank) and set the stage for the Nazi death camps.

Before the idea of industrialized mass killing even entered the minds of the Nazis, the Einsatzgruppen, beginning in June of 1941, followed the German army as it advanced deep into Soviet territory and carried out "in your face" mass-murder operations by going directly to the home communities of Jews, and with the help of local civilians and police, dug death pits, gathered all the Jews up, thousands at a time, and killed them, point blank, one bullet at a time.


This, of course, presented a terrible logistics problem for the Nazis: bullets were expensive; it was too public; too personal, and it could get a little messy.

In the late summer of 1941 SS Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler (pictured left standing with Hitler) visited Minsk to witness, per his request, one of the killing operations in progress. Never having seen a man killed before, Himmler freaked out, screaming, "Kill them quickly...kill them quickly!"

This horrifying experience resulted in Himmler ordering a more efficient mode of killing be developed. Thus, the gas chambers were born.

Because of these new revelations and discoveries, some experts say that Auschwitz is the wrong symbol of the Holocaust as it warps our understanding of what really happened. Auschwitz was only the tip of the iceberg.

From the Washington Post article, Extent of Nazi Camps Far Greater Than Realized:

"Shapiro says that the sheer number of camps may end one of the lingering protestations surrounding the Holocaust -- that ordinary people knew nothing of the killing underway in their locales."

In most towns, there was some sort of prison, or holding area or place where people were victimized," Shapiro says. "Think about what this means. For anyone who thinks this took place out of sight of the average person, this shatters that mythology. There was one Auschwitz. There was one Treblinka. But there were 20,000 other camps spread through the rest of Europe."
