“Useful Enemies”: U.S. Admitted Not Just Nazis After WWII, But Their Sadistic Collaborators

Why did the United States feel the need to admit Baltic and Eastern Europeans who at times exceeded the Nazis in brutality?

Lost count of the sordid episodes in America’s past? In Useful Enemies: John Demjanjuk and America’s Open-Door Policy for Nazi War Criminals (Delphinium Books, 2013), Richard Rashke chronicles one that few of us know much about. Many Americans have heard of Operation Paperclip, the program run by the Office of Strategic Services (the predecessor to the CIA). After World War II, the United States made the cold calculation to recruit Nazi scientists both to secure their help in the Cold War and to keep Russia from acquiring their expertise.

Rashke explains that, even though the United States enacted the Displaced Persons Act and a special Displaced Persons Commission (DPC) to determine which European organizations’ members were to be denied U.S. visas

… it is safe to say that the United States used, protected, and opened the door to several thousand former SS and SD officers, Gestapo agents and chiefs, Abwehr intelligence officers, Nazi propagandists and scientists, Einsatzkommandos, Waffen SS volunteers, Vlasov’s army soldiers, Nazi quislings, and ethnic cleansers.  (more...)

The CIA’s Worst-Kept Secret: Newly Declassified Files Confirm United States Collaboration with Nazis

Emil Augsburg and galpal

“Honest and idealist … enjoys good food and wine … unprejudiced mind …”

That’s how a 1952 Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) assessment described Nazi ideologue Emil Augsburg, an officer at the infamous Wannsee Institute, the SS think tank involved in planning the Final Solution. Augsburg’s SS unit performed “special duties,” a euphemism for exterminating Jews and other “undesirables” during the Second World War.

Although he was wanted in Poland for war crimes, Augsburg managed to ingratiate himself with the U.S. CIA, which employed him in the late 1940s as an expert on Soviet affairs. Recently released CIA records indicate that Augsburg was among a rogue’s gallery of Nazi war criminals recruited by U.S. intelligence agencies shortly after Germany surrendered to the Allies.

Pried loose by Congress, which passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act three years ago, a long-hidden trove of once-classified CIA documents confirms one of the worst-kept secrets of the cold war–the CIA’s use of an extensive Nazi spy network to wage a clandestine campaign against the Soviet Union.

The CIA reports show that U.S. officials knew they were subsidizing numerous Third Reich veterans who had committed horrible crimes against humanity, but these atrocities were overlooked as the anti-Communist crusade acquired its own momentum. For Nazis who would otherwise have been charged with war crimes, signing on with American intelligence enabled them to avoid a prison term.

“The real winners of the cold war were Nazi war criminals, many of whom were able to escape justice because the East and West became so rapidly focused after the war on challenging each other,” says Eli Rosenbaum, director of the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations and America’s chief Nazi hunter.  (more...)

Black Feminism, the CIA and Gloria Steinem

What follows is a fact sheet about Gloria Steinem’s operations against the various social and political movements in America, particularly her role in creating a hateful and virulent strain of Black feminism that attacks Black men while partnering with the white establishment.

Gloria Steinem first came across the radar of Black men in 1978 when Steinem put a book called “Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman” on the cover of Ms. Magazine, the magazine which she controlled. The book was “written” by a Black “feminist” and “activist” named Micele Wallace who came out of nowhere. Wallace was in her early twenties at the time, yet she was being touted as the “leader” of Black feminism. In the book, Wallace called abolitionists like Harriet Tubman and Sojouner Truth “ugly” and “stupid” for supporting Black men. She called Black Revolutionaries “chauvinist macho pigs” and advised Black women to “go it alone.” Gloria Steinem said that Wallace’s book would “define the future of Black relationships” and she pushed hard to make sure the book received massive publicity. Gloria Steinem’s work triggered a flood of “Hate Black Men” books and films that continues to this day. Needless to say, some were quite suspicious of Ms. Magazine and Gloria Steinem. Why was Steinem sticking her nose into the affairs of the Black community? So people started doing some research on Steinem. When it came out that Gloria Steinem was probably the ghost writer of the book with Michele Wallace’s name on it, Wallace had a nervous breakdown and went into hiding for two years. However, the damage was already done and the “Hate Black Men” movement was off and running. But the research into Gloria Steinem’s background continued. What follows is the findings of many different researchers.  (more...)

Helmut Oberlander Loses Appeal to Retain Citizenship

Helmut Oberlander, a Ukrainian immigrant who served as an interpreter for the Nazis in the Einsatzkommando on the Soviet Front in the Second World War, has lost his appeal to retain his Canadian citizenship on Thursday.

The federal government stripped the 94-year-old Waterloo, Ont., resident off his citizenship for the fourth time last July.

In a statement, the court said the government’s finding that Oberlander had lied about his wartime activities when he arrived in Canada in 1954 was “justifiable,” opening the door to his deportation.

When he landed in Canada, Oberlander made no mention of his membership in the Einsatzkommando, a Nazi mobile killing squad that systematically executed thousands of people in the former Soviet Union after the German invasion. Oberlander is not accused of taking part in any of the killings.

But the federal court in its decision upheld the government’s conclusion that Oberlander “voluntarily made a knowing and significant contribution to the crimes and criminal purpose of this SS killing squad.” (more...)

There are some stupid mistakes that only very smart people make, and one of them is the notion that a sensible argument seriously presented can compete with a really good piece of theatre.

Every day, people on the internet ask why I won’t “debate” some self-actualizing gig-economy fascist or other, as if formal, public debate were the only way to steer public conversation. If you won’t debate, the argument goes, you’re an enemy of free speech. You’re basically no better than a Nazi, and certainly far worse than any of the actual Nazis muttering about not being allowed to preach racism from prestigious pulpits. Well-meaning liberals insist that “sunlight is the best disinfectant,” anti-fascists disagree, the far right orders more popcorn, and round and round we go on the haunted carousel of western liberal thought until we’re all queasy.

This bad-faith argument is a repeating refrain of this low, dishonest decade, and this month it built to another crescendo. In the U.S., The New Yorker bowed to public pressure and disinvited Steve Bannon, Trump’s neo-nationalist former chief strategist, from its literary festival. And in the U.K., The Economist chose to do the opposite.  (more...)

A Religious Order as Germany's Partner

BERLIN/ROME -The German government's remarkable decision to establish diplomatic relations with a religious order will have its first anniversary in the next few days. During its last session prior to last year's parliamentary elections, the German cabinet chose to establish diplomatic relations with the Sovereign Order of Malta, thereby ostensibly valorizing this Catholic organization. The Order disposes of no genuine sovereign territory, is seen as an archconservative association of aristocrats, and has been repeatedly suspected of involvement in dubious financial transactions in Germany and elsewhere. It has proven, however, to be a useful tool for Berlin's foreign policy - with its medical emergency missions accompanying NATO operations or in regions of German interests, such as Syria and Northern Iraq. Within the Order, which is active on a global scale, the German Association has systematically risen in status over the past few years to assume leadership of the organization today.

A year ago, in its last session before parliamentary elections, the German cabinet ruled to grant diplomatic recognition to the Order of Malta - with its full name being the "Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta." In mid-November, Sigmar Gabriel (SPD), Foreign Minister at the time, traveled to Rome, to formally seal the establishment of relations. Annette Schavan (CDU), former Minister of Education and, at the time, Ambassador to the Vatican, also became Germany's first ambassador to the Sovereign Order of Malta. Together with politicians of the CDU/CSU and the SPD, Schavan had been pushing for Berlin's recognition of the Order.  (more...)

Richard Nixon Quotes For Our Times

"You know what happened to the Greeks! Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo. We all know that. So was Socrates. Do you know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags....You know what happened to the Popes? It's all right that Popes were laying the nuns, that's been going on for years, centuries, but, when the Popes, when the Catholic Church went to hell, in, I don't know, three or four centuries ago, it was homosexual."-- President Richard Nixon, fretting to his top aides in 1971 that the Meathead character on All in the Family was bisexual

In a tape-recorded 1972 Oval Office conversation between President Richard Nixon and Rev. Billy Graham, the nation's best-known preacher agreed with a stream of bigoted comments Nixon made about Jews and their perceived influence in American life.
Graham: "This stranglehold (of Jews in the media) has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain."
Nixon: "You believe that?"
Graham: "Yes, sir."
Nixon: "Oh, boy. So do I. I can't ever say that but I believe it."
Graham: "No, but if you get elected a second time, then we might be able to do something."

"You know, it's a funny thing. Every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob? What is the matter with them? I suppose it is because most of them are psychiatrists." –President Richard Nixon to White House Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman  (more...)

Sex-ed Grows Up and Monetizes: The Dark Side of the Orgasmic Meditation Company

The vistas -- and legs -- that can be opened up by "consent"

When Michal got married in August 2015, her family and longtime friends didn’t attend. The woman who walked her down the aisle, the dozens of beaming onlookers, her soon-to-be husband—all were people she’d met in the preceding 10 months. Wearing a loose, casual dress borrowed from one of her new friends, Michal spent the ceremony in a daze.

She knew she didn’t want to get married like this, in the living room of a rented San Francisco house without her family’s support, yet she felt compelled to do it. That uneasy feeling could apply to most of her experiences in OneTaste.

OneTaste is a sexuality-focused wellness education company based in the Bay Area. It’s best known for classes on “orgasmic meditation,” a trademarked procedure that typically involves a man using a gloved, lubricated fingertip to stroke a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes. For Michal, like those at her wedding, OneTaste was much more than a series of workshops. It was a company that had, in less than a year, gained sway over every aspect of her life. (more...)

Munky Shines: Racist misogynists do not deserve a platform — anywhere

The Munk Debates is inadvertently sanitizing Steve Bannon in inviting him to participate in a debate on “the rise of populist politics in Western societies.” This is a white washing of Bannon’s racist, misogynistic, and white nationalist agenda.

He deserves no platform.

Let us recall Bannon’s shameful list of credentials. He is the former executive chairman of Breitbart news, a platform for the “alt-right” by his own description. The Southern Law Poverty Centre describes this movement as “a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that ‘white identity’ is under attack by multicultural forces using ‘political correctness’ and ‘social justice’ to undermine white people and ‘their’ civilization.”

The non-profit organization, which monitors hate activity in the United States, has carefully documented the frequent anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim narratives that have appeared on its site. As well, the centre has reported that in 2017, over 100 people were killed or injured by people influenced by this toxic ideology, including Heather Heyer during a rally and protest in Charlottesville, Va.

Breitbart news has also featured “violent, sexist, extremist and radical political content,” according to one corporation that joined over 2,000 other organizations and companies last year in pulling its ads off the platform.  (more...)

Nazi Frivolity: It's a Gas

Happy Nazis (2008): The secret photographs that reveal how Nazi exterminators spent their free time.

In January 2007 a photo album marked "Auschwitz: 21 June 1944" was made public. It revealed astonishing clues as to how the Nazi extermination team enjoyed a life that they ruthlessly denied their victims.

"They look almost like normal people. They are devils", says Auschwitz survivor, Regina Speigel. The photos were taken at the height of the holocaust and have helped researchers identify key Nazi killers. Dr Josef Mengele, aka the 'Angel of Death', is seen "smiling and laughing at this singalong during the most horrific period of murder in history. It's astonishing."

High rate of suicide, child abuse, infant mortality among Canadian children: report

TORONTO -- Canada's global reputation as a healthy place to raise children is belied by statistics showing strikingly high rates of suicide, child abuse and struggles with mental health, a new report suggested Tuesday.

Health markers covering everything from infant mortality to obesity and poverty rates paint a troubling picture of child welfare in Canada, according to the report compiled by Children First Canada and the O'Brien Institute for Public Health.

The study, which analyzes data from major research organizations including Statistics Canada and the Canadian Institute of Health Information, said all orders of government need to do more to ensure that children benefit from the country's overall wealth and prosperity.

"Whether we're talking infant mortality or accidents or mental health concerns, all these statistics are deeply disturbing," said Sara Austin, lead director of Children First. "Canada's ranked the fifth-most prosperous nation in the world, yet when it comes to the well-being of children, we fall far behind," she said. "There's a big disconnect between the well-being of our children and the well-being of our nation."

Austin said this disconnect has been acknowledged in some international circles, pointing to a UNICEF ranking of 41 Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development countries that placed Canada 25th on the list when assessing for children's well-being.

The various research agencies included in the latest report have documented many troubling markers of kids health over the years, Austin said, with mental health emerging as an area of increasing urgency.  (more...)

Escaping NXIVM: How a Vancouver actor joined a self-help group and ended up in an alleged sex cult

NXIVM calls itself a humanitarian community. Experts and critics call it a cult. Uncover: Escaping NXIVM is a new CBC investigative podcast series about the group, its leader, Keith Raniere, and one woman's journey to get out. Read about what drew Sarah Edmondson to Raniere and his followers and how she ended up turning on him.

Sarah Edmondson knew the thought was absurd as soon as she said it. But there it was nonetheless — the persistent, almost instinctual self-doubt.

"What if I made a mistake?"

The actor from Vancouver was speaking to CBC News on April 13, just hours after Keith Raniere, the 58-year-old founder of the self-help organization NXIVM (pronounced nex-ee-um), made his first court appearance in New York City on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit forced labour.

These were circumstances Edmondson had helped bring about.

Six months earlier, on the front page of the New York Times, she blew the whistle on what she says was a secret, sorority-like women's group within NXIVM.

She shared details about the group's master-slave hierarchy and the brutal initiation ceremony she says she underwent in a private home near Clifton Park, N.Y., just north of Albany, and where many in NXIVM's inner circle reside. Edmondson says she and four other naked women took turns holding each other down on a massage table in the middle of a spare bedroom while a doctor used a cauterizing pen to sear a strange symbol on their pelvises — with no anesthetic.

Her realization two months later that her scar was not a symbol representing the four elements but what appeared to her as a mash-up of Raniere's initials and those of his alleged co-conspirator, 35-year-old Smallville actor Allison Mack, was the final piece of the puzzle that led to Edmondson's decision to leave NXIVM after 12 years and go public with her story.  (more...)

The Homosexual Network: Private Lives and Public Policy

It is an undeniable fact that over the past decade or so the United States has undergone a veritable revolution in morals and law in regard to homosexuality. As this magisterial study demonstrates, the revolution was_well_underway in 1981 when it was written. While the book examines a great many facets of homosexual life in America, what seemed of most import was the reason this unexpected and unprecedented revolution was marching from victory to victory.

In 1970, a year after Stonewall, 84% of Americans agreed with the statement that homosexuality was "a social corruption that can cause the downfall of a civilization" and 75% of Americans believed that homosexuals should be barred from the ministry, the teaching profession and the judiciary. Over the course of the next decade, the homosexual movement made breathtaking strides to put a dent in that overwhelming consensus, to the point where public opinion and the boundaries of discourse had shifted in its favor, and where openly homosexual politicians, teachers, ministers, entertainers, etc. were accepted in public life (at least in certain locales), where 10 years earlier they dared not admit who they were. How did they accomplish this? According to the author, it was the sympathy of the American elite and the single-minded fanaticism of the movement itself which spurred such a sea change in American opinion.

The author, a careful and sagacious researcher, presents volumes of polling data to show that the American elite- the college-educated, the political class, the media and the academic world- all had vastly differing opinions on homosexuality (and other issues) than their fellow Americans, and the gap was widening. Obviously such sentiment had its effect on public policy, the mass dissemination of opinion, and the indoctrination of youth, especially of those who would be the teachers of the next generation. In terms of beliefs and values, the ruling elite of the United States was separated from the bulk of its population by a vast ideological chasm. By its very nature, an elite has an influence over its society far out of proportion to its numbers, and such was the influence of the American elite when it came to homosexuality. One important manifestation of the elite's sympathy for homosexuality was the fact, uncovered by the author, that the federal and state governments were the_main_funding source for the homosexual movement.

...

As a Catholic priest, the author devotes a good amount of space to the homosexual infiltration of the Church, even publishing copies of a newsletter that circulated among homosexual priests. As he saw it, the Church's hierarchical structure was both a strength and a weakness. It was a strength in that it enabled to Church to respond quickly and authoritatively to any attempt to undermine its infallible doctrines on sexuality or on any other issue. However, it was also a weakness as it made the Church succeptible to infiltration, which is exactly what happened, thereby paralyzing and neutralizing the Church when a homosexual-friendly cleric gained a position of power. The author noted that the Church was in a battle against a powerful and aggressive force in the homosexual movement, but it was condemned to lose until it became proactive and aggressive itself, which it still has yet to do.  (more...)

The Homosexual Network: Private Lives and Public Policy

It's an eye-opener that the homosexual infiltration began in 1924, 5 years before the communists began their infiltration. Those who bang on about the Bella Dodd testimony are missing a key factor. The communists were merely copying and exploiting a prior condition in the Church. Historically, the ideology of homosexual identity began in Berlin and then was formalized academically in Frankfurt, with the Jewish proponents fleeing to New York (Columbia U) during the Nazi regime. Those who conflate homo ideology with leftism are missing the connection between the Anglo-American and German elites. Today's Military-Industrial Complex is as gay as any other institution.
