Kris, It's interesting to find all the connections when one knows what to look for. I've been tracing the roots of United Fruit. If you read the article I wrote on Harvard Drug Lords, you saw one faction of the 3 main investment groups which owned United Fruit at the time of the Guatemalan coup in the 1950s. There was also a faction from New York, controlled by the Empire Trust (now merged into the Bank of New York!). The other group was controlled from London and banks in Canada. These same groups joined in a consortium of investments all over the world--to build dams, power plants, and other strategic industries. One of the earliest directors of the Empire Trust was George Smith, a man who contolled all the railroads in Wisconsin, as well as insurance companies which issued bank drafts that served as the money supply of that area for decades before banking was legalized there. I have never been able to determine where he got the money to finance these projects, though I knew he came here from Scotland and retired in London in 1861. His railroad and insurance empire successor was his cousin's son, James Henry Smith, who shortly before his death married the former wife of William Rhinelander Stewart; the Stewarts' daughter Anita married a Portuguese prince of the family of Thurn und Taxis. This family was interwoven with the same group of aristocrats with which Adam Weishaupt associated--from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Smith and his wife were accompanied during the last six months of his life (they were on a globe-trotting honeymoon) by the Duke and Duchess of Manchester and other near royalty. The duke at that time was a descendant of a previous duke who had been the royal governor of Jamaica. Jamaica (Tryall in Montego Bay) has long been a secretive base for British intelligence and Scottish Rite activities. (See Torbitt). Tthe Saxe-Coburg-Gotha royal branch also included aristocracy from Romania. This was the area from which Samuel Zemurray, who ran the New Orleans docks and took control of United Fruit in 1930, hailed from. It was also the area that Samuel Bronfman's father emigrated from when he set up his criminal operations in Canada. The following excerpts from Dave Emory's website show Romanian Nazi influence on America politicians. It's a huge website, and this is only a small part. Linda >>Endorsed by Evola, the Iron Guard liaised with Otto von Bolschwing. Von Bolschwing was a key SS man who worked for the CIA after the war<< http://www.kfjc.org/emory/ftrmm.html ......FTR216 Trouble on Oiled Waters, Part III (Two 30-minute segments) $8.50 Supplementing FTR #s 91 and 214, this program further develops the subject of the clandestine power politics of the petroleum industry. The broadcast begins with discussion of Otto Von Bolschwing, a key SS intelligence officer and (for a time) Adolf Eichmann's superior in the administration of Hitler's policy toward the Jews. (Von Bolschwing became a key CIA operative after the war. One of Von Bolschwing's proteges in the post-war period was Helene Van Damme, who selected the list of personnel from which Ronald Reagan's cabinet appointees were selected. (For more on the Von Bolschwing/Van Damme connection, see also RFA #s 3 and 30, as well as FTR180.) Von Bolschwing oversaw a complex Nazi intelligence gambit in the Middle East. Utilizing renegade British intelligence officer Jack Philby, Von Bolschwing authorized apparent collaboration between Saudi king Ibn Saud and the Zionists. This ostensible collaboration entailed a plan to promote Jewish emigration from Europe to Palestine under the protection of the Saudis. Like Ibn Saud (and of course Von Bolschwing and his Third Reich superiors), Philby was a rabid anti-Semite and had no intention of aiding the Jews. His "cooperation" with the Zionists was a deception, intended to betray both the Jews and Great Britain. After securing British approval for the ostensible Saudi/Zionist collaboration, Philby was instrumental in leaking news of the operation to the Arabs. The result was heightened Arab outrage at the British and consequent sympathy for the Third Reich. The second half of the program focuses on a complex conspiracy between the Third Reich, the aforementioned Jack Philby, Allen Dulles, Saudi Arabia and major American and British oil companies. A former attorney for the powerful Wall Street law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, Dulles worked for the OSS during World War II. (The OSS was America's World War II civilian intelligence service.) Dulles was a traitor to the United States, complicit in the financing of Nazi industry and centrally involved with wartime duplicity by the petroleum industry. (For more on Dulles' relationship to Nazi Germany, see RFA #s 1 and 2, as well as Miscellaneous Archive Show M11.) Saudi Arabia collaborated with Nazi Germany, while blackmailing Great Britain and the United States. Dulles and the major American and British oil companies were instrumental in arranging this blackmail. Because the U.S. was able to "outbid" the United Kingdom in paying off the Saudis, American petroleum interests emerged dominant in the contest for control of Saudi Arabian oil. Program Highlights Include: Texaco's pivotal role in providing oil to the fascist forces of Franco during the Spanish Civil War; Texaco kingpin Torkild Rieber's work as a Nazi Spy during the Second World War; the collaboration of Standard Oil of New Jersey with Nazi Germany; the collaboration of Socal with the Third Reich; Dulles' threat to cut off oil to the British war effort if they exposed the collaboration of "Big Oil" with the Nazis; a similar threat to cut off oil to the American war effort if the petroleum industry's Nazi links were exposed; Nazi chemical company I.G. Farben's capital participation in Standard of New Jersey and Socal (it was the second largest stock holder in Standard behind the Rockefeller family); the Bormann group's inheritance of the I.G.'s Standard stock (see the references to the Bormann group in the description of FTR195); the Wahabbi sect of Saudi Arabia and its historical links to international fascism and U.S. oil companies (see FTR186.) (See also: RFA10; Miscellaneous Archive Shows M11 and M42; and FTR #s 29, 36, 37, and 38.) ....... FTR221 Interview with Kevin Coogan (One 30-minute segment) $5.00 Following up on two previous interviews with the brilliant Kevin Coogan (FTR #s 185 and 213), this broadcast further develops material from Kevin's book Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey and the Post-War Fascist International (Autonomedia, copyright l999.) Beginning with discussion of former Goebbels propaganda ministry official Johann von Leers, the program discusses von Leers' work for the "Underground Reich" (see FTR180.) (Joseph Goebbels was the propaganda minister of Nazi Germany.) After the war, von Leers set up shop in Argentina and then Egypt. Working for the post-war Third Reich underground, von Leers was one of the main contributors to Der Weg, one of the underground's principal literary outlets. The program delineates von Leers' deep occult views, constituting something of a "Germanic New Age" philosophy. From discussion of von Leers. the focus shifts to the Ahnenerbe, an occult society that ultimately became part of Heinrich Himmler's SS. Following analysis of the Ahnenerbe, the focus shifts to the pro-ecology "green" wing of the NSDAP (the Nazi party under Hitler). Much of the program centers on Julius Evola, an Italian fascist and occultist whose associations ranged from the SD (the SS intelligence service), to post-war fascists around the world. A believer in violence as a vehicle for "spiritual transcendence," Evola and his milieu were fiercely anti-American, an outlook that pervades that milieu and its affiliates years after his death. Program Highlights Include: the sun-worship and Nordic occultism that lay at the core of the beliefs of von Leers; the Ahnenerbe's belief in "Aryan" supremacy; Ahnenerbe founder Herman Wirth's career; Walther Darre (the leader of the "green" wing of the NSDAP); the Romanian Iron Guard (the brutal fascist movement in Romania which was allied with the Third Reich); Evola's association with, and admiration for the Iron Guard; the Iron Guard's philosophy of "long live death"; Evola's influence on Italian fascist terrorists such as Ordine Nuovo (see RFA19; Miscellaneous Archive Shows M19, M21, M49; and FTR #s 2, 3, 5, 42, 43, 53, 59, 98); the career of Italian fascist Prince Borghese (see RFA19), the "Atlanticist" (pro-American) elements of Italian fascism; Borghese's endorsement of some of Evola's work; Evola's occult concept of "polarities"; Evola's influence on Francis Parker Yockey.

FTR222 Fascism and the Black Metal Music Scene, Part II (One 30-minute segment) $5.00 Updating discussion from 211, this program begins with discussion of National Alliance leader William Pierce's acquisition of Resistance Records (a white power music label.) (Pierce is the head of the National Alliance. arguably the most important domestic Nazi group. See also: RFA #s 10-13, FTR #s 9-15, 22, 23, 26, 27, 45, 49, 60, 87, 88, 90, 92, 168.) Planning to specialize in black metal music (among other genres), Pierce and his associates are recruiting mainstream musicians to record racist and Nazi music under pseudonyms. The broadcast highlights the formation of Resistance Records (prior to acquisition by Pierce) by George Bundi (a.k.a. Eric Hawthorne.) Stemming from the World Church of the Creator (another domestic fascist group), Hawthorne and Resistance have been celebrated by the Church of Satan. (Domestic fascists Boyd Rice and Michael Moynihan are both members of the Church of Satan and influential in the black metal milieu. For more on Rice and Moynihan, see FTR211.) A member of the Church of the Creator (Ben Smith) murdered several people in the Midwest (see FTR168.) The program highlights Moynihan's support for American Nazi James Mason and his espousal of "lone wolf" racist killers like Smith. Mason has been featured on the racist television show of Tom Metzger, whose organization has been successfully sued by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Another of Moynihan's icons (and posthumous benefactor of Moynihan's publishing outfit) is SS official Karl Willigut. The program reviews Moynihan's plans to publish work by fascist/occultist Julius Evola (another advocate of fascist violence as a "spiritual" act, see FTR221). Moynihan is also planning to publish music by the Iron Guard, a Romanian fascist group allied with Hitler (see FTR221.) (Endorsed by Evola, the Iron Guard liaised with Otto von Bolschwing. Von Bolschwing was a key SS man who worked for the CIA after the war. See also: RFA #'s 3, 30, as well as FTR #'s 180, 216.) The broadcast sets forth the Abraxas Foundation's espousal of the Iron Guard's philosophy of "long live death." (For more on Abraxas and its fascist, Nazi and Satanic overtones, see FTR211.) (See also: Miscellaneous Archive Shows M14-17, RFA #s 17-21, 32, 34, as well as FTR #s 64-68, 105, 170, 172, 178, 211, and 221.) (Recorded on April 9, 2000.)
