WADE FRAZIER : A Healed Planet

[Wade Frazier]

Hi:

Well, this LOTR stuff is bringing back memories. I was quite a movie junkie in my youth. I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark something like 12 times in the theaters and Star Wars nine times, and Ford followed it up with Blade Runner and Witness. I don’t know of another actor who had a run like that. Spielberg did ET in the midst of that, and the second Star Wars was better than the first. It was quite a time to be a moviegoer, and a run that I don’t expect to see again. With each year, I wondered what those guys would do to top it.

With my increasing deafness, I am subtitle-dependent, and the home viewing experience is so extraordinarily better than it was back then that I almost never go the movies any longer. But I would quest after memorable movie experiences in those younger days, those that would stay with me for months, years, and decades, and the most amazing trailer experience that I ever had was around Christmas 2000, when I saw this trailer for the LOTR trilogy. I had no idea that somebody was going to make the movies, something I had waited for for most of my lifetime (did I ever try hard to like Bakshi’s cartoon version), and I don’t remember what movie we were watching when that trailer came on. I was completely blown away. The movies did not disappoint. I literally stopped drinking about the same week that I saw that trailer. It was a long year waiting, and as the debut drew near, my nation went insane in the wake of 9/11, and soon committed the greatest crime of the 21st century, at least so far. So, the LOTR series took some of the sting out of those insane years, in the depths of my monster of a midlife crisis. That was some compensation for my journey, and I’ll be forever grateful.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

Well, I just found out from my niece that I was hiking illegally yesterday, as it looks like every single trail in the state has been closed down. Call me amazed. Nothing was marked closed.

Well, we’ll see what kind of hiking year I get, if any. Well, I got out a few times.

Best,

Hi:

I finished Symphony in C yesterday, and it was much better than I thought it would be. Similar to how the origin of language was dealt with in Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony, Symphony in C tackled the origin of life, and what properties the first life on Earth likely had and how they came to be. The author discussed the idea of chemical crystals as a way to keep the early molecules organized. He also discussed the idea that as the Krebs cycle can run in reverse in primitive bacteria, it reproduces molecules as it does it, so that something like the Krebs cycle is how the first life was able to reproduce itself.

The origin of life is one of those Great White Whale issues in science, with all manner of scientists taking their crack at it, heaving their theoretical harpoons as they try to take it down and win Nobel Prizes, etc. Other Moby Dick issues that I have seen in science included:

• The extinction of dinosaurs;
• The unified field;
• The origin and nature of consciousness;
• The origin of the universe.

Another issue discussed in Symphony in C is how scientists have not been able to overcome the in-group/out-group social organization of social animals, and how theory and paradigm battles have raged across the history of science, such as the catastrophism/uniformitarian debate (which included the issue of mass extinctions, which was taboo among English-speaking scientists for more than a century), or the igneous/sedimentary debate on rock formation, or the camps on whether life originated in surface pools or deep volcanic vents. In the Fifth Epoch, when scarcity and fear no longer reign, we won’t see those kinds of armed camps, with each trying to take the other out, with each thinking that they have a monopoly on the truth.

Hi:

I have been waiting to see what Sherri Tenpenny would have to say about this pandemic, and she did not disappoint, and fears of mandatory vaccines are far from outlandish. And she followed it up with an article on the Frankensteinian futurism of people such as Kurzweil. There is a radically different direction to take, but it will take an unprecedented act of integrity and sentience to get us onto that track and away from the abyss, as all manner of Orwellian nightmare looms, and self-extinction is very much still on the table.

What will it be, my fellow humans?

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As an addendum to last night’s post on Tenpenny and this pandemic, nothing of what we are seeing right now would exist in the Fifth Epoch. It is kind of mind-boggling to me, this Western medical paradigm, built on violent interventions, very little prevention, and lucrative paradigms are fed by the whole evil mess. I cover the range of it in my work, and like how free energy, antigravity, and miraculous medical technologies are kept under wraps and denied by the masses, if they ever even hear of them, while we all live in scarcity and fear, I have been watching in horrified amazement for many years, as people embraced certain death over questioning their indoctrination on health issues. I have written how several practices that I engaged in were considered “crazy” when I was younger but are now being embraced by Western medicine, such as how to reverse artery disease, how miraculous a process fasting is, and other practices, such as my vegetarian ways, which are now hip, but I was treated with disdain and even had to hide my diet in my public accounting days. In Ohio, I was treated as a mythical creature that people had heard of in legend but had never seen before. I am going to summarize the bizarre aspects of the history of Western medicine, and contrast them with alternatives.

The paradigm that Louis Pasteur founded, on the germ theory of disease, appears to have been a badly distorted plagiarism of a contemporary’s discoveries, and Pasteur’s self-interested efforts coincided with the rise of the medical racket in the USA. The entire male-based paradigm in Western medicine is deeply flawed, if not worthless, as lucrative medical violence is the name of the game. The Hippocratic Oath, of “First, do no harm,” has been completely abandoned in favor of spectacular and violent interventions, which also happen to be a money machine. To me, what is astounding and insidious is that the entire edifice is rarely even questioned. It is a close cousin to Noam and Ed’s observation that acknowledging that the USA’s genocidal invasion of Southeast Asia was a crime is unthinkable amongst American pundits, just as the unprovoked invasion of Iraq, which is the greatest crime of the 21^st century so far, is still treated as some noble deed, which was a “mistake” at worst.

I recently wrote about a conspiracist’s interviews of Noam and Ralph Moss, and while the conspiracist was too simple-minded, as conspiracists usually are, it was disconcerting to see Moss essentially accept the framework of the FDA’s being in charge of approving medical treatments, which was exactly what Benjamin Rush warned against. I want to provide a little summary on the crimes and follies of Western medicine, which are either unimaginable to the masses or blithely dismissed as an aberration.

From the very beginning, as Pasteur stole credit for the work of others, in his ploy to garner riches and fame, an alternative paradigm was pursued, but Pasteur prevailed. At the same time, the newly founded AMA was campaigning to outlaw abortion as part of its war on midwives, who were the competition. That happened during the insane “heroic medicine” days, when mercury, bloodletting, and barbaric surgeries were considered “medicine.”

Anesthesia and antiseptic practices rescued surgery from its barbaric status, just as Pasteur was prevailing. Surgery was quickly turned into a racket, and today’s pharmaceutical empires were founded on dispensing mercury “medicine” and secret ingredient proprietary medicine, which was all pure quackery. Diversifying robber barons, such as John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, allied with the rising drug and surgical empires and established the Western medical paradigm that we have today. Their allies at the AMA were two outright quacks (1, 2) who ran the American medical establishment for generations, and the second one hit on the idea of making medical claims for cigarettes. The pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association were subsequently filled with cigarette ads for a generation, which climaxed when the face of American medicine spearheaded the “research” and ad blitz to promote an asbestos cigarette filter. You could not make this up if you tried.

At the same time of the ad blitz, the medical establishment was wiping out alternative cancer treatments that it could not buy out, as part of its “war on quacks,” as the USA was overthrowing governments right and left, on behalf of the Rockefellers and others, while mounting what became outright genocide in Southeast Asia. At the same time, American industry had one of its greatest triumphs over America’s health, as it turned an industrial waste into compulsory “medicine.” In recent conversations on these issues, people have dismissed the promotion of cigarettes by the AMA as an aberration of a bygone era, in no way applicable to the wonders of today’s enlightened medicine, but there is still fluoride added to the water that comes out of my home’s faucets. It is not such a bygone era, but is alive and well today.

Just recently, yet another study showed how worthless bypass surgeries are, as has every other study of them, but bypass surgery is still the rage in the USA, as the cash registers sing. I began a fasting regimen when I was 17, and have been regarded as insane ever since, but a Nobel Prize was won a few years ago, based on the research regarding how miraculous fasting is for health.

What I just summarized above is surreal, and we are supposed to blindly submit to vaccination, which may well become compulsory in my lifetime. We live in Orwellian times, and there are opportunities aplenty to awaken. However, relatively few will avail themselves of it, but those are the people I seek, because they are the only people who can help me make a dent.

Hi:

Make no mistake, my work is about “doing something,” but one man, or a handful of them, can only do so much. Indiana Jones cannot save the world by himself. A handful of us stood up to the forces of darkness, and Dennis survived (barely) to try again, but what an awesome cost that we all paid. There are not ten like Dennis on Earth, or a hundred like Brian. Those are just the numbers. The heroic route won’t work for this. I have watched aspirants get overcome by megalomania, as they began to understand the stakes involved. There is nothing about this Epochal task that is easy.

I developed the approach that I am taking over many years of life-risking and life-wrecking trial-and-error. If I can find the people I seek, this will be easy. The hard part will be finding them. The approach will work, if enough people with the right stuff do the work and hit the notes. If not my effort, then another can get it done, but time is short and I am a lot closer to the end of my life than the beginning of it.

That stated, I am bombarded these days with tales of how the so-called White Hats or ETs are going to save us from ourselves, defeat the Black Hats, etc. What a spectator sport that is. It is the adult equivalent of waiting for Santa to come down the chimney.

We all get out of life what we put into it, and waiting around for some heroes to save the day, while we refuse to do the work, is about as productive as watching sports or soap operas on TV. Long ago, I remember Jack LaLanne (he has been gone for nearly ten years, how time flies) state that there are three kinds of people in the world, those who:

• Make things happen;
• Watch things happen;
• Wonder what happened.

When I mentioned that to a hip friend, he replied that over 90% of the population doesn’t care what happened, and that the remainder can be put into those categories.

For would-be activists, it can be a very dismaying experience to discover that the vast majority of humanity simply does not care, as the horizons of their awareness never stray far past their immediate self-interest. It was the primary lesson of my journey (which took years to learn, and I resisted that lesson every step of the way, until I could deny it no longer), and as would-be activists slowly discover that truth, the challenge is to relinquish judgment of that situation. I have watched the great ones all go through their moments of disgust as that reality dawned on them. More than any other activists that I encountered in the free energy milieu, Dennis and Brian were men of the people. The problem was that there weren’t any people to lead. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said that he would rather march with one person who knew why they were marching than with a hundred who didn’t. When I read that, I knew that he knew.

Teachings such as the Michael material can help make sense of it all, as he states that some souls go through their entire cycle of reincarnations and never wake up, and that is OK, as those souls can still get what they came for by sleepwalking through the physical plane, as their awareness never rises past their socialization. It was that reality that spurred Brian’s question of whether humanity was really a sentient species. Although sleeping is OK, what I am doing requires people who care and are awake, and they are like needles in haystacks on Earth today.

Dennis’s and Brian’s chief folly was thinking that some kind of mass movement would work, and I carried their spears through five such efforts before I was finally cured of that delusion (and refused Dennis’s and Brian’s final entreaties to me, as I had to do what I am doing today). Over a 30-year period, I watched Dennis go from, “The people really care, but just need something to care about,” to “Almost nobody cares, but I am sifting through humanity’s mine tailings, looking for nuggets,” to “My allies hurt me more than my enemies did,” to “Scotty can beam me up whenever he wants to; I am ready to go.” That was quite a progression to witness.

So, to acknowledge that state of affairs and keep trying to make a dent, while seeing the divinity in everybody, even when they don’t care and seem bent on cultivating every vice on Earth, while calling them virtues, incredibly, just might be the most difficult feat on Earth. Realistically, far more people today are heading toward this world than this one, but the vast majority will just shuffle along and reincarnate into a world in which George Bush the Eighth will declare war against Eastasia. And that is OK, but it is not the world that I want to live in, and I am doing what I can.

Hi:

I have known about this book for years, but at more than $100 for a copy of it, I’ll pass for now, and probably forever. I read a book on Wolff, as part of my studies on Allen Dulles. Dulles and friends were great at protecting death camp Nazis. Dulles led the cover up of, and was likely involved with, JFK’s murder. But murdering the head of state was small stuff, compared to getting oil-company-friendly dictatorships installed and genocides started.

This morning, as I lied in bed, I thought about selective prosecution going the other way, on a subject near-and-dear to my heart. Dennis was imprisoned for failing to file a form under a civil law, and the officials repeatedly put him in position to be murdered by the inmates, and they nearly succeeded. I decided to see if in the succeeding 30 years, anybody else had been criminally prosecuted under that obscure law, and the answer appears to be no. Dennis is the only person who has ever been even arrested under that law, much less gone to prison over it. And people close to me wonder why I despise California.

The year before Dennis was arrested, the courts denied a motion to even entertain a civil filing against a company. Here is a complaint from 2018, and the civil case is ongoing today, it seems, as the defendants tried to get it settled in arbitration. Those are all individuals filing civil complaints against companies that they did business with. Since Dennis’s case, are there any instances of California officials actually initiating the prosecution of anybody under that law? Well, here is one from 2003, which looks like it never went anywhere, and all that the state was seeking was some fines against the company and barring it from doing business in California. Lo and behold, there is actually a case prosecuted by Ventura County on a publicly held company under that law, and all that Ventura County was seeking was that the company would file the form, which the company appealed. In 2006, a civil complaint was filed against Herbalife, which seems to have gone nowhere. Herbalife is headquartered in California and has been prosecuted many times, but I don’t see even one criminal prosecution.

So, it looks like Dennis will go down in history as the only person who ever spent time behind bars for failing to file a form under that law. Selective prosecution, indeed, and let’s leave aside the many felonies that the prosecution committed while pursuing us. They stand in a class by themselves, along with their lying allies in the media, etc.

Here is an article from 2009, which cites the California law and argues that franchise regulation is broken in the USA and unnecessarily restrictive.

This is all another example of what I have come to call, “Justice, American-style.” As Gary and Rodney also discovered at great personal cost, California’s judicial system is by far the most corrupt in the USA, with literal gangsters sitting on the bench.

That situation is Exhibit A for why we don’t live in the Fifth Epoch today, while all that Dennis’s so-called allies in the milieu can do is lie about it all, along with the “skeptics,” etc.

Wade

Hi:

I keep up on the changes to Ed’s Wikipedia bio, and I have to actually give Wikipedia some credit, as it reverted this change to Ed’s bio (changes in bold below):


“Edward Samuel Herman''' (April 7, 1925 – November 11, 2017) was an anti-American lover of war criminals, dictators, war psychopaths and terrorists…Ideologically, Herman has been described as a "dedicated radical anti-democrat”


That went a bit too far even for Wikipedia. And, of course, the anonymous coward reinstated it after an editor removed it, but it is removed as I write this. Wikipedia calls edits like that “vandalism.”

But they recently removed this referenced addition:


“These critiques themselves are anticipated within the propaganda model itself, which proposes mechanisms such as "flak" by which propaganda is propagated in the face of criticism and devotes several pages to discussing several specific critiques the authors knew would emerge, explaining them in terms of the model.”


That sentence would help put those libelous attacks in the Wikipedia bio on Ed’s work into context, and help show the bio for what it is: a heavily slanted ideological hack piece. So, that anonymous editor’s piling on with vandalism is not too far out of line with Wikipedia’s bio on Ed.

Hi:

Who knows when this current lockdown of the USA will end, but my day job, while I have one, has let up a little with the intensity. I am about halfway through Gaia Vince’s Transcendence, and it is possible that I am just a little ahead of my time with my work. Of course, none of the books I have read lately, including Origins and Symphony in C, hint at the Fifth Epoch, but all three books are energy-centric, as they describe how foundational the energy issue is, on the universal, planetary, evolutionary, and human journey levels. I already covered that territory in my original big essay, but it is interesting how those books emphasize the role of energy from chemical (Symphony in C), geological (Origins) and human (Transcendence) perspectives.

In the end, I have done more than enough study to be able to sketch what the impacts of the Fifth Epoch could be, and that is really the point of my big essay. So, I am itching to get cracking at the essay revision, which I should begin soon. Then, my posts will largely be drafts of the essay parts that I am revising or adding to. There is a lot to come.

Best,

Hi:

This year is the 50^th anniversary of the beginning of my awakening, on that fateful June morning, when my mother asked me if I knew that those corn flakes were bad for me. That awakening process began then, but also, I began to learn that people cherished their sleep. I had no problem accepting the idea of the hazards of processed food, but almost immediately, I was surprised by people’s reactions to the idea that their diets were not healthy. My father tried spreading the new gospel to his friends, family, and colleagues, and only found a few takers, who quickly had health miracles of their own, but I soon discovered that the standard reactions were indifference, hostility, and ridicule. I have vivid memories from age 12 on that issue, and I soon learned to be cautious about whom I voiced those ideas to.

Looking back, that event at age 12 was the beginning of a journey of awakening and discovery, which almost nobody wanted to take. At age 16, I had my cultural and mystical awakenings, and got my first energy dreams. At age 19, I had my first existential crisis, and that voice in my head guided me into the career that I have today.

But, as I embarked on my journey of awakening and discovery, which accelerated after college, and class really began when I met Dennis, I still did not realize that almost everybody was asleep and proud of it. There are souls that will go through their entire incarnation cycles and never wake up. That is just the nature of this journey (what was the Creator thinking? ). Those people will embrace certain death over choosing to awaken, and I had to witness it numerous times before I began to understand it.

When I began writing publicly, beginning in 1991, and particularly in 1996, when I put up my first website, and I interacted with “skeptics” and began fielding personal attacks, it was another level of awakening for me, as I slowly realized that very few people were able to encounter information that challenged their indoctrination and conditioning, and respond in anything close to rational fashion. For every person who began to understand, many more blew gaskets, and that former friend, who just could not stop parroting the TV news and advocating violence, from his comfortable armchair, was one of my early warnings of what I was going to encounter when I began engaging the public. He witnessed the worst part of my journey, and was completely oblivious to the reality that I encountered. He saw my integrity and courage on display, but understood almost none of the rest of it.

So, as I interacted with the public, and the trolls began having a field day, it was initially amazing that they could not string two rational thoughts together. It took me a long time to realize that they were asleep and would not awaken in this lifetime, and encountering material like mine actually drove them more fiercely into sleep. It took a long time to relinquish judgment of what I was encountering and just accept it. But even I have to admit that it was surprising to have “hip” forum admins ally with the trolls to boot me out of forums where I joined because I saw my work being discussed. I was chased out of two forums relatively recently (1, 2), as the admins and trolls ganged up on me. The insane attacks on Noam, Ed, and Howard were just part of that terrain, as the sleeping jealously guard their slumbering state or manage the slumbers of their herds.

I slowly realized that virtually everybody on Earth was asleep, and there was no way that they would be awakened by work like mine. That said, I still try to make my work as good as I can, to help attract the people I seek, but long ago, I knew that I was hunting for needles in haystacks. And even when I found them, or they found me, they were usually early in their learning curves, and nearly all of them rushed out to proselytize the good news to their social circles, to only be shocked at the violent reactions, the irrationality, ridicule, and ostracism. The best of them came back to me, chastened by the experience, and ready to begin learning. The masses will only awaken to the Fifth Epoch when it arrives, and without free energy, it can’t. Until then, it will be not be imaginable to them. They don’t want to even try to imagine it, as all that they can see is their world ending, and it scares them. I have no interest in scaring the sleeping, and they can snooze with my blessings.

And, as I have stated plenty, if and when the Fifth Epoch arrives, the sleeping will not suddenly become awake and enlightened. It won’t work that way. They will only be subjected to more enlightened socialization. Just how slavery was normal in the Third Epoch and evil in the Fourth, almost none of the cherished beliefs, institutions, and practices of the Fourth Epoch will survive for long in the Fifth. There will be no more nations, races, jobs, money, and the nuclear family will soon be seen as quaint. But don’t expect 99.99% of humanity to even begin to understand those ideas until they arrive via the unfolding of the Fifth Epoch. The Industrial Revolution was more than a century old before anybody realized that it was a revolution. It won’t take the world that long to realize that the Fifth Epoch is something different. It will happen very quickly, probably on the heels of the arrival of free energy for public use. We already have an example of that, after the first atom bombs were dropped on Japan.

So, people will awaken to the arrival of the Fifth Epoch pretty quickly, but don’t expect anybody but the freaks to begin awakening before then.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

As somebody who has been at this for nearly 50 years, I can testify that the hardest aspects of it are to keep one’s eye on the goal and keep one’s integrity intact. Very few can do it, as they often become Orcs lusting after the One Ring, are easily duped by Sauron’s agents, get lost in Fangorn, disappear in Moria, and so on, to invoke a Tolkien analogy once more. Most never leave their hobbit holes, happily smoking pipe-weed in their yards, Gandalf never arrives, and if he had, only rare hobbits would actually leave the comfort of their homes. Most would regard him as a trouble-maker, and either scurry into their holes when he passed by, or try to have him banned from The Shire.

In the aftermaths of the disasters of Dennis’s attempts, whether it was Seattle, Boston, Ventura, or New Jersey, and many lives were wrecked each time and some were shortened (1, 2), picking up the pieces was anything but easy, and continuing on, in an attempt to do something productive.

If you had asked me, when I became Dennis’s partner, if I was trying to help manifest the Fifth Epoch, I would not have understood what you were asking. Oh, I would have been very receptive to the idea of the Fifth Epoch, if you had explained it to me, but I had one hell of a learning curve ahead of me. Most of my vision of the Fifth Epoch was formed by the time I left Ventura in 1990 and hit the books. As Ed said, it is hard to reconstruct the past, but when I published my first vision of what I now call the Fifth Epoch, in 2002, I doubt that much of it came from my post-Ventura studies. Some of the details certainly did, but a vision very close to that one is what sustained me over those years. I am a learning junkie and will never stop digesting information, but the basic framework of my vision for the Fifth Epoch was likely formed in the months after Dennis’s first free energy idea, and probably began even in Seattle, when I first heard of Joe Newman and free energy. Kind of like reactions to dropping atoms bombs on Japan, it did not take long for me to begin thinking in terms of the Fifth Epoch, even though I did not even call it the Fifth Epoch until more than 25 years later.

Whatever I called it back then, that vision sustained me through some very dark times in my life, and I did not come up with my choir idea overnight, but through a process of trial-and-error that covered decades. And today, almost nobody understands what I am attempting. Very few even care, for those few who have even heard of it. Over the long years, I have received reactions that cover various levels of indifference, denial, fear, disdain, and incomprehension. Some are scientifically illiterate and proud of it, others argue that we would just destroy Earth with free energy, either through warfare or strip-mining Earth, while others argue that austerity is our only hope. Those that are actually interested in my vision are the people who usually scare me, with adolescent fantasies of sneaking up on the GCs, thinking that they can defeat the GCs in battle, proselytizing to their social circles, beseeching the rich and powerful, etc. I have seen it all since the 1980s. The sentient lamb’s path is the only one that interests me, helping bleat the Fifth Epoch into reality. Seeking those needles…

Wade

Hi:

The stay-at-home order lasts for at least another month in my state, and this being cooped-up at home is getting old. But, at least, I have my library with me, and I have been recently rereading a lot of the Michael material, and gaining a new appreciation for it, while also being a little surprised at some of the naïveté, but that was likely at least partly due to the naïveté of the channels, such as nothing on the GCs that I ever saw, but Michael also discussed matters of evolution, and was right about them, before it became generally accepted in science, such as how dinosaurs evolved into birds, even though that idea is as old as Darwin’s work. Some of what Michael said is actually considered incorrect today, so such sources are far from infallible, as Michael readily admitted.

This recent post on Nazis once again had me diving into the issue, and I hope that I can stop one day, but it is likely too entwined with my life to leave it entirely alone. I am going to write about the NASA Nazis a little more in coming posts.

In the USA (1, 2), and at Wikipedia, you can read fawning biographies of Kurt Debus, one of the “fathers of space flight.” What you won’t read in any of those biographies was that Debus was what the American military classified as an “ardent Nazi,” who proudly wore his spiffy SS uniform each day to work and turned a colleague over to the Gestapo who had privately disparaged the Nazis and who refused to give Debus the Nazi salute. I am attaching a famous photo of Debus as he sat between JFK and LBJ during a presentation. But Debus was one of Wernher von Braun’s pals, and Operation Paperclip sanitized his file, whitewashing his background, so that he could become an American space hero.

I have read way too many books on Operation Paperclip and the NASA Nazis, and they definitely shed disturbing new light on my childhood as a space brat. For these posts, I just want to show how we will never know how deeply that all went for the NASA-Nazi space heroes. I’ll revisit some of them in these posts. Let’s start with Hubertus Strughold, the “father of space medicine,” who was lionized and feted in the USA, and even had an Air Force library named after him. I have written about him plenty before (1, 2), but will provide some more details on his preposterous journey.

I probably need to stress that from the very beginning, the Nazis were under no illusions about how they were embarking on epic crimes. Hitler was planning to reproduce the Anglo-American “achievement” of “settling” North America, but do it to Eastern Europe, instead. Instead of exterminating the “inhuman savage” Indians and taking their land, on behalf of the invading “settlers,” which included my ancestors (1, 2), Hitler planned to do it to white people, such as Slavs and Jews, and that was his crime. From the very beginning, like the Mafia does, as well as other organizations such as the CIA (which was built on death camp Nazis), the Nazis used euphemisms to describe their activities, such as “special handling” substituting for extermination, and “large pig” for human experimental subjects. Even then, all thinking Nazis really began going into cover-up mode from early 1943 until the end of the war, when the disaster at Stalingrad made it clear how World War II would end.

In The Nazis Next Door, you can read about a medical conference that the German air force (Luftwaffe) doctors held in October 1942, on the medical problems that their pilots faced after being shot down over the frigid waters of Northern Europe. The problems addressed at the conference were how their pilots could survive in the icy waters, and at the conference, the results of experiments on death camp prisoners were presented. When the attendees realized that involuntary and deadly experiments were being conducted on the prisoners, it caused a bit of a stir. But at that conference, Strughold not only knew that human experiments were being conducted, but he gave a talk that essentially gave the experimenters some homework, to answer further questions about what cold water did to people. Strughold, when faced with the minutes of the meeting, had to admit that he was there, but had already lied to American investigators and said that that he was not aware of the experiments until after the war was over. In later years, Strughold concocted a fairy tale about those days, saying that he not only opposed the Nazis, but had to go into hiding from them. The reality was that he was always among the highest-ranking doctors in the Luftwaffe, and he ran a medical institute, just as his good buddy and human experimenter Siegfried Ruff did, who also gets softball treatment at Wikipedia, and his article incredibly ends with, “Ruff enjoyed a distinguished medical career in postwar Germany.” In that light, Wikipedia’s libeling of a Jew like Ed makes perfect sense.

Strughold was far from alone in sanitizing his record long before the war ended, and when the war was over, all of his personal papers were missing from his institute, just as Ruff’s also disappeared at his institute. However, Strughold also supervised people, such as Hermann Becker-Freyseng, who was actually convicted at Nuremberg for his fatal medical experiments on prisoners at Dachau, but the USA soon commuted his sentence and brought him to the USA to become another American space hero. While interrogated, Becker-Freyseng stated that Strughold ran the institute that was performing the experiments, so was highly aware of what was happening and could have easily halted the experiments.

But Strughold was not able to destroy all of the documentation, and in the 2000s, long after Strughold had died as the heroic “father of space medicine,” a German researcher stumbled upon documentation of experiments at Strughold’s institute on epileptic children, who were obtained from a local euthanasia center, in which the children were subjected to decompression experiments that simulated the high-altitude conditions that German pilots faced. The children were expected to die, as rabbits had previously died, when subjected to those conditions, but the children somehow survived. That is surely only the tip of the iceberg of what happened under Strughold’s direction.

But Strughold and other Nazi doctors and scientists got lucky, and had talent and knowledge that the USA coveted, so they all got their backgrounds whitewashed and were brought to the USA under Operation Paperclip, which has a largely celebratory article at Wikipedia. The “paperclip” referred to the paperclips on their security files that marked them as needing “special handling” to scrub their files, to make them appear to be innocent saints who were unfortunately swept up into Hitler’s plans. They were all Big Lies.

What those Germans all did were variations of these lies:

• “I did not know anything about the medical experiments and death camps;”
• “I was only following orders;”
• “I actually resisted the programs and tried to end or subtly sabotage them, and even helped the Jews when I could.”

They all did that, and their American handlers were eager to believe them. A lot more is coming, unfortunately.

Hi:

The NASA Nazis did not have the immediate impact that the Gehlen Org did. Gehlen, like von Braun and friends, decided that his best chance of parlaying his efforts for Hitler into avoiding the gallows was to sell himself to the Americans, and it worked. Eventually, about 4,000 former SS and Gestapo employees became part of Gehlen’s organization. Arguably more than anybody else, they were responsible for the Cold War, as they lied to their American handlers about Soviet capabilities and intentions. The entire “containment” policy that the Cold War was founded on was based on fiction, not fact, and Gehlen’s people told their American handlers what they wanted to hear. We nearly had World War III due to those activities. It was later observed that Gehlen was literally trying to create an American Gestapo, and he had a close relationship with this chief sponsor, Allen Dulles, who helped get Karl Wolff off the hook and even tried to get a Hollywood movie made that portrayed Wolff as some kind of hero.

As usual, Wikipedia goes easy on the subject, but what became called Camp King was used by the Nazis as an interrogation center for shot-down American and British airmen. After the war, the USA began using the same facilities for interrogation, generally hapless Soviets who fell into their hands. As the USA hired Gehlen’s crew, some of the same people who “interrogated” Soviet prisoners to death for the Nazis “interrogated” Soviet prisoners to death at Camp King, and at a related facility named Haus Waldhof, but an American doctor ran that operation, inspired by some results from Dachau’s human experiments. Some of those people performed medical experiments for the Nazis, and they were soon performing the same kinds of experiments on the same kinds of prisoners. The only difference was that they worked under new management, passing from the Third Reich’s to America’s hands (see The Devil’s Chessboard, pages 292-297, for some color on those days). The USA’s MKUltra program arose from that milieu, and Frank Olson, who worked with Adam Trombly’s dad, was one of the casualties of those days.

It is very legitimate to wonder how influential those Nazis were to the rise of torture in American foreign policy. Oh, the USA had been torturing people for many years, with the water torture in the Philippines particularly infamous (and the USA still uses water torture, but called “waterboarding” and other euphemisms today, such as “enhanced interrogation” in The Land of the Free), but the Nazis definitely brought their death camp and human experiment expertise to the USA, which still haunts us. The Nazis fit right in.

In that light, Wernher von Braun and pals, who “only” worked about 20,000 concentration camp inmates to death to build the V-2 rockets, which almost exclusively targeted civilians, which was a war crime in of itself, were small fry. Compared to what Gehlen’s org did, both for the Nazis and Americans, as several million Soviets purposefully died in the German POW camps, and they became the source of most of Gehlen’s “intelligence” files on the Soviet Union, which he parlayed into fame and fortune for the Americans, von Braun and friends were choir boys. The USA would eventually outdo the Nazis in places such as Vietnam, and all of those former Nazis get some “credit” for that.

Hi:

I have written before of the toll that writing my World War II essay took. It damaged my marriage, and if there was a silver lining to it, the experience helped spur me to finally conquer the bottle the next year, after ten years of trying. I have been rereading my stack of Operation Paperclip and related books recently, and I just realized a few minutes ago that I am reviving those feelings from more than 20 years ago, so I am going to shorten this exercise. It really takes a toll.

David Stannard’s American Holocaust is still the one to be reckoned with, nearly 30 years later, on what Europe’s “settling” of the Western Hemisphere was really like. The complete text is surprisingly here. Five years later, Ward Churchill wrote a kind of sequel to it, A Little Matter of Genocide, which will be his lifetime’s masterpiece. Stannard wrote the preface to the book, which began with, “Ward Churchill is a man looking for trouble.” He was. The next decade, a kangaroo court tribunal was established to terminate Churchill’s career, over that very book, as they put a few footnotes under a microscope. That is what happens to those who challenge the official narratives, in which genocide is swept under the rug or celebrated.

What Stannard and Churchill competently made the case for, aside from chronicling the greatest demographic catastrophe in the human journey, was that what Hitler and friends did was not some kind of aberration, but was more the logical conclusion of the Western mentality. Hitler took inspiration from the Anglo-American genocide of the Indians and the theft of a continent, and its greatest Founding Father was one of the chief architects of the crime. So, in a way, writing about the NASA Nazis is merely chronicling another grim chapter in the trajectory of the human journey, as monsters become heroes. I suppose that I write about this particular subject because my father worked for NASA, Brian was chosen to go to Mars by the most prominent NASA Nazi, and it was around me in other ways, such as his assistant’s replacing me on the NEM board after I quit.

I suppose that I also write about the issue as a lesson in contrasts, as those NASA Nazis and other war criminals not only got protected by the USA because they were useful, but they all get gentle, even hagiographic, treatment in venues such as Wikipedia, while a saint like Ed gets a libelous biography. It is all kind of surreal, and there is a point to it all, as far as my work goes. Those who unthinkingly accept those inversions of reality, and many others like them, are not going be able to help with what I am attempting, as the popular renditions of those subjects are a form of brainwashing. I need the fully sentient, or at least those who try to be, for my approach to have a prayer of success.

Hi:

The USA had nuclear weapons, an overwhelming Air Force to deliver them, and when they did pursue missiles, beginning in 1946, they did not use von Braun and company, but their own talent. The missile programs were fairly moribund until the Soviet Union detonated its own atom bomb in 1949. Then the Cold War really began to heat up, and when the Korean War began, von Braun’s fortunes changed and he began building what became nuclear missiles in Alabama. But von Braun began promoting the idea of space travel then, too. A Russian proposed space travel by rockets in the 1880s, and a Frenchman independently began proposing rocket travel in 1913, around the same time that an American began proposing rocket travel. Germans came to the game somewhat later, and the father of German rocketry, Hermann Oberth, was von Braun’s mentor. Another of Oberth’s pupils proposed a mission to Mars in 1949, as part of exploring the solar system, but von Braun published the first detailed study of a manned Mars mission in 1952, which was not translated into English until 1962. Von Braun began his rise to American fame in 1952, with his articles in Collier’s on space flight, and they influenced a young boy in Boston who began having dreams of exploring space and the solar system.

As I have written, assessing levels of evil is not an easy task, and not one that I relish, but I put the Gehlen Org at the top of postwar Nazi evil, as their background was the bloodiest, they were able to keep pursuing human experiments and the like under American sponsorship, little different from their death camp days, and they nearly ignited World War III with their lies, as they bit the hand that fed them. In direct death toll, von Braun’s far exceeded Strughold’s, as he ran the operation that worked about 20,000 prisoners to death to build rockets that were used almost exclusively to target civilians in cities as a terror weapon (Hitler literally called it a “vengeance” weapon (Goebbels came up with the name), which is where the “V” in V-2 came from).

Here is the kind of article that you rarely saw in the American media, and I don’t recall seeing one for the 50th anniversary of the lunar landings last year. Von Braun’s plans for dropping bombs on the USA were overheard by Dora inmates, and others testified to Arthur Rudolph’s “personnel” practices at Dora. The author of that first article linked to above is the author of an Operation Paperclip book that I have had for many years, which was one of the earliest books that came out in the wake of the declassification of key documents, 40 years after the events. So, von Braun ran the operation that worked 20,000 people to death while killing thousands of civilians in what was clearly a terror operation. Strughold oversaw human experiments on children and other victims of the Third Reich, but the death toll that he was responsible for was likely less than a thousand. So, whose was worse, von Braun’s slave labor and terror operation, or Strughold’s human experiments? What a thing to assess.

To his “credit,” perhaps, when his SS background could be denied no longer, although he lied about it plenty, and the slave labor operations that made the V-2 rockets began becoming public knowledge, von Braun expressed some moments of regret, but also couched it in the expediencies of war. There is no doubt that von Braun was technically brilliant, and NASA might not have made it to the Moon without him, but what a background.

Strughold, for his part, denied his knowledge and involvement as much as he could. After the glory of the Moon landings ended, his past began to catch up with him, when the New York Times published in 1974 that he was on the war criminal suspect list, and that was when Strughold began spinning his increasingly wild yarns, which eventually included hiding out from the Nazis.

When von Braun died in 1977, the Apollo glory days were behind him. With his death, the Teflon effect on those NASA Nazis faded. The Justice Department reopened its investigation on Strughold in 1983, and it was only terminated because Strughold died in 1986 at the ripe old age of 88. In 1984, Arthur Rudolph was forced into renouncing his American citizenship and going back to Germany, although he was never prosecuted. He was an ardent Nazi who came across as a kind of a monster.

What came across in my readings on von Braun was that he was also kind of a monster, happily reminiscing in his early days of postwar fame on the large slave labor pool that his work was able to use, and books of the day used souvenir photos from von Braun’s personal collection of the slaves at work on his rockets. When his team surrendered to the Americans, he played rock star, not a captured war criminal, which disgusted his American captors, even though they knew that he was so valued for his technical expertise that he could get away with it. Baron von Braun even captivated Hitler with his “hypnotic” personality. As with Karl Wolff, Hitler was a real sucker for Aryan looks and aristocratic comportment. Wolff and von Braun fit the bill, and von Braun was an undeniable genius to boot.

I wrote yesterday that I am going to cut this short, and I will, but I have a little ways to go still. This is no fun to do.

Hi:

I am going to focus on the medical end of the NASA Nazis a little, but first, a little preamble on doctors and scientists who worked for the Third Reich. Albert Einstein was a director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, but quit and fled Germany as soon as Hitler took power in 1933. All Jews were soon purged from all of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes (KWIs). Einstein was also the president of the physics branch of the KWI, from its founding in 1917 to when he fled Germany in 1933. The Third Reich put a price on Einstein’s head for a time. H.P Robertson was friends with Einstein and worked with him at Princeton, and while there, they agreed that all German scientists had a duty to protest Hitler’s racist policies, and that any scientists who worked for the Third Reich’s war effort were a disgrace to science. Robertson was assigned to interrogate the V-2 scientists, openly opposed the USA’s recruitment of them, and Einstein campaigned against the USA’s hiring of any German scientists who worked for the Nazi war effort. Late in his life, he said that his only German friend was Max Planck. His successor, Max von Laue, along with Planck, did what they could to stand up to the Third Reich and “Aryan physics,” which considered relativity a Jewish plot, but it was not much.

Not only were all of the Jewish scientists and staff immediately dismissed from the KWIs when Hitler ascended to power, but during World War II, the KWIs collaborated with human experiments, such as Mengele’s sending bodies from Auschwitz to KWI’s anthropology arm for study and display, and the KWI for brain research examined some 700 brains taken from euthanized people with mental issues. As the Allies closed in on Berlin, the KWI’s president committed suicide, as he knew what crimes the KWI was committing, and killing himself was the easy way out.

As von Braun’s and Gehlen’s organizations eagerly sold themselves to the Americans, there was also a medical effort that sold itself to the Americans, and that effort was led by Strughold. Their American handlers set them up at the KWI for medical research at Heidelberg. While average Germans were starving, the doctors and scientists at the KWI lived well, very well thank you. While in Heidelberg, their handlers, led by Harry Armstrong, had them compile a book on their medical research during World War II, which became the legendary tome, German Aviation Medicine: World War II. The person who assembled the research was none other than Hermann Becker-Freyseng, Strughold’s employee who performed medical experiments at Dachau, and who wrote the book’s triumphant introduction (which he wrote from prison). Hermann Becker-Freyseng ran both high altitude experiments, in which subjects were killed in a decompression chamber (a film of those experiments was obtained by Himmler, who played it to the Nazi brass in a famous showing, as they watched a Jew die in the decompression chamber), and Hermann Becker-Freyseng performed experiments in which they tried to find a way for downed German fliers to survive while drinking ocean water. Those experiments were more macabre than the decompression experiments, as the prisoners were injected with salt water and had it forced down their throats. Nobody survived those experiments. Becker-Freyseng was actually convicted to 20 years in prison at the Doctors’ trial, but Armstrong soon got him out and brought him to the USA to perform the same experiments, that time on “willing” soldiers. Becker-Freyseng returned to Heidelberg after his heroic service, where he died in 1961.

Other saints from those days include Kurt Blome, who was acquitted at the Doctors’ trial, because even though ordered by Himmler to do plague vaccine research on death camp inmates, as he was the Third Reich’s leading biological warfare expert, there was no surviving documentation of such likely experiments, as well as many others, at his facility that Nazi money funded. Blome would later run the medical arm of Camp King for the CIA.

Walter Schreiber was in Hitler’s inner circle, performed human experiments, and “miraculously” escaped Soviet custody to testify at Nuremberg. Like the rest of them, the USA was eager to hire him and brought him to Texas under Operation Paperclip, but his past caught up with him, as some surviving human experiment patients recognized him. A prominent journalist threatened to make a stink over it, so the USA “migrated” Schreiber to Argentina, which was a favorite Nazi haven, and some found work under the CIA’s Operation Condor, such as Klaus Barbie.

Of all of the death camp Nazi whitewashes I have seen at Wikipedia, Walter Schieber’s may take the cake. Here is a more complete rendering of his death camp achievements, as he literally fed prisoners clothing, to see if they could subsist off of it (they couldn’t – imagine that).

While at the KWI in Heidelberg, Strughold was the editor of German Aviation Medicine: World War II, and his notes survive, in which he edited out of the papers statements made by Becker-Freyseng and Siegfried Ruff, for instance, which more than hinted that humans were the subjects of those important experiments.

In studying those days, several dynamics were evident, which I have seen many times over my years of study, one of which was trying to exonerate the system by putting a few low-ranking heads on platters to solve the problem. Strughold and friends, when they could no longer deny that medical experiments on humans were performed, heaped all of the blame on a low-level Nazi named Sigmund Rascher, whom Himmler had executed soon before the war ended. It was later established that Rascher was “merely” following the direction of Erich Hippke, who was the German air force’s chief surgeon. Strughold also worked for Hippke, who was actually the originator of the idea of using prisoners for human experiments. Like so many of Strughold’s colleagues, Hippke was never charged with anything and lived out his life as a respected doctor in Germany. Ruff, who was pals with Strughold and who ran a sister institute, performed some of the Dachau experiments. So, there Strughold was, with his boss Hippke suggesting medical experiment on humans, his pal Ruff performing them, along with Strughold’s employee Becker-Freyseng, and Strughold claimed that he was not only not involved with medical experiments on people, but did not even know of them. When it could be denied no longer, Rascher was conveniently blamed for all of it.

Another hard-core Nazi doctor was Theodor Benzinger, who was also in the middle of high altitude, cold water, and saltwater experiments. He was likely up to his eyeballs in the human experiments, but was apparently very thorough in destroying all documents that would have implicated him. Benzinger was arrested, to be tried at the Doctors’ Trial, but was suddenly and mysteriously released and immediately hired by the Americans (and Strughold also hired Benzinger and Ruff at Heidelberg). Benzinger blamed Strughold for his arrest, and even said that because his boss Hippke, buddy Ruff, and employee Becker-Freyseng were all undeniably involved with human experiments, Strughold had to deflect blame onto others. After a long and successful second career in the USA, when Benzinger died, he was given a hagiographic obituary in the New York Times.

There is no doubt that many death camp Nazis, either through their own management of the documentary record, or with the help of the Americans, had their backgrounds erased so that they could be welcomed into the USA. That went for Gehlen’s SS and Gestapo spies, von Braun’s V-2 pals, and many Nazi doctors, Strughold most famously. For his part, Strughold’s American career was sponsored by Harry Armstrong, who knew Strughold before the war and who self-righteously, and likely naively, denied that his good buddy Strughold would have been involved in anything like that. That kind of self-righteous naïveté and blindness, while “coincidentally” being self-serving, has been observed many times about American scientists and academics. Noam has written a great deal about it, for instance. Mentalities like Armstrong’s would later be evident in defending the dropping of atom bombs on Japan.

I could literally write for months on these subjects, but want to wrap up this NASA Nazi business for now this weekend, and move on to revising my big essay.

Best,

Hi:

Of the many articles on Wernher von Braun on the Internet, this one may be my favorite, by a Berkeley professor, titled, “The Whitest Man Who Ever Lived.” At best, von Braun had a broken moral compass, perhaps rooted in his aristocratic youth. That article traced his life from his elite roots through his wunderkind years as a rocket scientist to his days with Hitler and death camps to his second career in the USA as the key figure in the technical effort to land on the Moon, as a popularizer of space exploration, even to the extent of hosting his own Disney TV show and designing a ride at Disneyland. He helped inspire both Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove and 2001, and there was even a movie on his life in 1960. He lived quite a life.

In my family home movies is a reel of my parent’s visit to Disneyland before I was born, as they took one of my aunts there, when she was a child. My father was stationed at nearby Camp Pendleton, as a boot camp drill sergeant. While growing up in Ventura County, I visited Disneyland at least a dozen times. I remember when the Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion rides opened. Disney shows and Disneyland were very ubiquitous aspects of my youth, although I preferred Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner cartoons to the adventures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

I have vivid memories of watching the Gemini 11 and 12 missions, while my father worked on them in the Mission Control Room, and I especially remember the Apollo 1 disaster, which drove my father from NASA. That same year, Star Trek began airing, and for the first time in my life, my parents allowed me to stay up until 9 PM to watch it. We had a professional interest in it, and I still do.

Back then, von Braun was an unqualified space hero. His SS background was not public knowledge, nor was his death camp background. I don’t really know when I began to become aware of his Nazi past, but it was many years after the Moon landings. I don’t know when it really began coming together for me, but it was likely around the same time that I woke up the hard way, and everything was up for questioning. Before I left Ventura, I knew that JFK was not killed by Lone Nut Oswald, and it took years of study after that when I realized that my space brat youth and JFK’s murder were related, as well as my family’s military subsistence, as JFK proposed a joint mission to the Moon, to help end the Cold War, and that seems to have been the “last straw” that led to his murder.

So, I bounced around the USA in a Space Race that did not even need to happen, living in Texas because of Lyndon Johnson’s pork barrel politics, and LBJ may well have been involved in JFK’s murder. So, to have a death camp Nazi running the rocket show for NASA fit right into what I began understanding in the years after my awakening.

As that article discussed, von Braun stole the show when those Disney shows began promoting space exploration in 1955. But von Braun’s climb to becoming a household name in the USA started with this Collier’s articles, beginning in 1952, which helped inspire Brian to become an astronaut. Von Braun is actually the person who picked Brian as an astronaut, as his first talent in the stable for his long-dreamed manned mission to Mars. So, the threads of von Braun’s journey are deeply entwined with mine, in ways that kind of blow me away, when I think about it.

If von Braun was a prominent aspect of my life, Strughold was less so, but he also basked in the fame of space exploration. Strughold’s peak experience came in 1957, when he found himself sharing the Queen Mary on the way to Europe with Walt Disney himself. Disney heard of Strughold’s presence on the Queen Mary, and arranged to have Strughold tutor him on the wonders of space travel each evening, as they strolled Queen Mary’s decks in the moonlight. Disney, death camps, Nazis, NASA – what a combination. As I was studying for my Moon landings section of my cover-up essay, I stumbled upon more information on the Disney-Nazi-Apollo connection, and the improbable career of the sidekick of both von Braun and Strughold: Heinz Haber. That will take a little telling, and this story gets darker before it ends.

Hi:

When Berlin fell, the war was over in Europe, kind of, as the UK and USA immediately began waging war against the Soviet Union, through operations such as Operation Gladio. To only slightly paraphrase the justifications that later came for hiring Gehlen’s Org, etc., the excuse was, “Well, they are death camp Nazis, but at least they aren’t commies!” As Ed wrote at his life’s end, Russia and the Soviet Union have been demonized in the USA for more than a century.

The USA was using Nazi rat lines to help death camp Nazis escape to South America and other havens, and within Germany, anybody who could sell themselves to the Americans, did. He passed away several years ago, but an in-law was an American soldier in Europe who brought home a gorgeous, statuesque, blond, blue-eyed Fraulein from Germany, to start his family, while his brother brought home an English woman. American servicemen were the ticket out of Europe after World War II. That Fraulein’s father was an SS man, and to this day, she says that Hitler was not a bad leader to have. I witnessed her husband swindle his sister, and got to hear him kind of justify it for an hour, the last time I saw him.

So, as Strughold and his death camp pals were comfortably ensconced at Heidelberg, he got a sidekick named Heinz Haber, who wrote a chapter of German Aviation Medicine: World War II. Haber came over from Einstein’s old haunt at the KWI for physics, officially working on gravity, but he was also a wanted man, along with his brother, Fritz, on that war criminal suspect and security risk list with von Braun, Strughold, and many other death camp Nazis. Operation Paperclip cleaned up everybody’s background and got them shipped to the USA, and pronto, before the Nuremberg investigators caught up with them. In 1949, in his new home in the USA, Haber led a famous discussion panel with Strughold and Armstrong, titled, “Aero-Medical Problems of Space Travel.” Haber and his brother came up with the idea of what is called the “Vomit Comet” today, which Michael Hyson rode extensively in.

When those Disney shows began in 1955, von Braun’s sidekick was Heinz Haber. Haber knew very well whom he was involved with. He and von Braun once visited Collier’s offices, and while he and von Braun shared an elevator with some Collier’s staffers, one reached out and rubbed Haber’s leather jacket and remarked, “Human skin, of course?”

Now, this story starts getting a bit darker. Sites come and go, including the source used in this article, but it explores allegedly satanic aspects of the entire milieu, and it calls what I call the GCs the Illuminati. I am not really into the various names of the organizations hypothesized, usually by conspiracists. I think that they come and go, with plenty of “churn” at the top, and that article stated that the CIA lent out Heinz Haber to Disney for psychological warfare projects. Nothing would surprise me in that milieu, but do we have independent evidence of that? It turns out that we do, in more than one place, and this is where it begins to get very dark, as if death camp Nazis aren’t dark enough.

Best,

Wade

Hi:

This is my last NASA Nazi post for now. I need to discuss the relevance of how the Anglo-American experience in North America impacted Hitler. In scale, intensity, and duration, the USA is history’s most racist nation. The Nazis modeled their race laws after the USA’s, and as Noam said, the Nazis thought that the USA’s race laws were too extreme, so the Nazis crafted a toned-down version of the American laws.

I was raised in a racist and bigoted household, and it was not until I left home that I began to put it behind me. During World War II, the American military was segregated, and Jews were right down there with blacks in the American hierarchy. Even today, American racism is alive and well, if under siege in ways. It can no longer be as overt as it once was. It is no coincidence that death camp Nazis get softball, even hagiographic, treatment at Wikipedia, while a Jew like Ed is libeled. Ed called out American racism regularly in his work (1, 2). Howard was also Jewish, and he called out the USA’s racism, but if you study the attacks examined in Zinnophobia, for instance, such as Wineburg’s bogus critique, his critics won’t address the race issue directly, but find other ways to misrepresent and attack Howard’s work.

When the American military screened the Nazis it was hiring, it tried to not hire what were called “ardent Nazis,” which were Nazis that bought Hitler’s framework of a master race, a Thousand Year Reich, and the rest of that nonsense. However, Hitler learned his anti-Semitism from one of the USA’s leading industrialists. Nazism was not some great aberration in Western thought; it just took prevalent attitudes to their logical conclusion, under severe economic stress.

In the Gehlen Org were completely unrepentant Nazis, who openly espoused Nazi ideology to their American handlers at the CIA, rubbing their faces in it, knowing full well that they were too valuable to the American war against the Soviet Union to let a little thing like Nazi ideology become an obstacle. In that famous quote on how the Nazis took citizens, one-by-one, to the camps, it was the communists who went first, not Jews.

Even so, the German scientists brought to the USA often tried to show how they were reformed and saw the light, how they rejected Hitler’s Aryan philosophy, etc. However, many of them wholeheartedly embraced Hitler’s creed, and it was not always easy to hide it. In Strughold’s visa application to come into the USA, in his reasons for immigrating, he wrote:


“The United States is the only country of liberty which is able to maintain this liberty and the thousand-year-old culture and western civilization.”


The author of Undue Risk wrote about Strughold’s statement:


“It is news indeed that American civilization dates to the first millennium, but perhaps Strughold was thinking of the racial legacy of certain Aryan tribes. Strughold seems not to have traveled as far in his worldview as his American sponsors might have wished from the ‘thousand year Reich.’”


If you read von Braun’s statements in his American years about working for the Nazis, you will read quotes like this:


“Still developing military rockets. And still hoping for spaceships. Only now I’m doing it in a different country. But soon it won’t even seem like a different country.”


Von Braun regularly stated that getting into space and exploring the solar system was always his goal, and making the V-2 was just a stepping-stone along the way, if an evil one. Von Braun attended a 1958 demonstration of the combination of the two most spectacular technologies to come out of World War II: rockets and nuclear weapons, as he witnessed the detonation of a hydrogen bomb, at an altitude of 43 miles, on one of his Redstone rockets. The ominous implications of the demonstration seemed lost on von Braun at the time, as he seemed more interested in describing the fireball that resulted:


“The fireball reached a diameter of approximately 11 miles in three tenths of a second, and a diameter of more than 18 miles in three and a half seconds. The fireball continued to glow brightly for about five minutes.”


As I have written, the day after gratuitously nuking Hiroshima, journalists began writing about the potential of this new energy source. However, that lasted for only a few years, as the Cold War heated up and nuclear annihilation of humanity seemed increasingly likely, as well as the increasingly obvious dangers of trying to control nuclear fission for energy production purposes. Einstein was vocal about the USA’s nuking of Japan, and called his initial support for developing nuclear weapons his life’s greatest mistake. He called nuclear energy “one hell of a way to boil water.”

When Dennis teamed up with Yull Brown, I had to study the nuclear issue in ways that I previously had not, and it could be a horrifying experience. I eventually spoke at Department of Energy hearings with Dennis, as we promoted a neutralization solution to the nuclear waste issue. The organizer of the hearings told us how the land really lied: the nuclear waste program was all about making money for the people who will “manage” nuclear waste.

To begin descending into the darkness a little more, the 1950s were the time of Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best, as the USA enjoyed the prosperity of the postwar boom, as history’s richest and most powerful nation. I was born in 1958, and don’t have any direct memories of the 1950s, but in my studies, I came to understand many activities of those years that shaped the USA and the world, and not in salubrious fashion.

The USA’s rapid industrialization created unprecedented pollution, and one of the deadliest pollutants was the fluoride ion, which was liberated in metal refining, particularly aluminum. The fluoride ion poisons human biology in many ways. Early fluoride polluters were rich and powerful, and managed fluoride pollution science from the earliest days. Scientists in the pay of fluoride polluters accomplished the Orwellian feat of turning an industrial waste into compulsory medicine. It got worse after World War II, as fluorine was the key for refining uranium to make nuclear weapons possible. So, covering up fluorine’s harmful effects, particularly brain damage, while promoting it as some kind of medicine to be dumped into the USA’s water supply, had allies in industry, the military, and government bureaucracy.

In those same years, the face of modern medicine spearheaded the “research” used for an ad blitz for an asbestos cigarette filter, of all things. Also, the Dulles brothers were Rockefeller fixers who began overthrowing governments (1, 2) on behalf of the oil companies and other interests. Allen ran the CIA, protected Gehlen, Wolff, and friends from war crimes prosecution, and in the 1950s, the American government began the series of escalations that led to genocide in Southeast Asia. Those were also the McCarthy years, which were about as ignominious as it got in the USA. Walt Disney was an enthusiastic supporter of the commie witch hunts, even testified at the McCarthy hearings as a friendly witness, and Ronald Reagan began his rise to politics by managing Hollywood’s blacklist.

But where it really begins to go dark is that in those days, electrogravitic research went black, and a close friend saw the fruit of that research in the 1990s. Free energy technology was similarly developed, so that by the time I was born, the technology to become a spacefaring species and usher in the Fifth Epoch had likely already been developed. So, sending rockets into space was cave man stuff, compared to what the GCs had in their Golden Hoard, and von Braun was eventually privy to some of it. I don’t know when he learned it, but he told his assistant, who has since gone very public with it, that the GCs had a contingency plan to first use the communists to put fear into the public, to be followed by “terrorists,” the Third World, asteroids, and the end game would be portraying extraterrestrials as humanity’s ultimate existential threat, to enact a global dictatorship under their “protection,” in the greatest protection racket of all time. The GCs are Nazis on steroids. JFK was murdered when he tried to end the Space Race and Cold War, and E. Howard Hunt’s statement that it was over the ET issue is stunning, but I don’t have much doubt about it. However, I see it as more of a “last straw” issue, as plenty of people wanted JFK dead.

Late in his life, it seems that von Braun had some kind of conversion, from enthusiastically making nuclear missiles to wanting to ban weapons in space. It was ironic that when Eisenhower made his “Military Industrial Complex” speech, he referred to von Braun and Edward Teller by name afterward, as symptoms of what was happening. Teller began the “a little radiation is good for you” lie, as he promoted hydrogen bombs. It is not lost on me that Teller and Fishbein were Jewish, either. No race or ethnicity has an inside track on the dark path or the light path.

So, right in the midst of all of that blackness, the Eisenhower administration kept trying to turn those nuclear swords into ploughshares, and contracted with Disney Studios to make a propaganda movie for children on the marvels of nuclear energy, and Heinz Haber was their man! On behalf of Disney Studios, Haber made the movie Our Friend the Atom, wrote a children’s book of the same title, and at Disneyland, they made a nuclear submarine ride. If Haber could somehow skate out of the Third Reich with the “I am only a gravity guy” line, while working under von Braun and Strughold, his promotion of nuclear power to children, with a brief nod to the dangers, before the glory of nuclear power was extolled, convicts him. Our Friend the Atom stands today as one of the most disgusting propaganda films of its time, and that is saying something.

After Annie Jacobsen published her Operation Paperclip, she was contacted by Haber’s nephew, who wanted to know just what his father really did in World War II, and his Jewish wife openly wondered if her father in-law was involved with human experiments in Germany (and if Fritz was, his brother Heinz likely was, too). She gave him some suggestions, but the reality is that that era has been buried, for various reasons. Jacobsen herself made many Freedom of Information Act filings, to try to get the American documents on Operation Paperclip, and she wrote of the epic battle that Linda Hunt, the earliest writer on Operation Paperclip, had to engage in with the USA’s government, to get anything on the program. Finding information on the activities of the NASA Nazis from American or German archives is no easy feat. The Nazis destroyed all of the documents and evidence that they could before the war was over, and the USA has very actively managed the secrecy of Operation Paperclip and related programs. The public has only seen the tip of that iceberg.

I am going to end the posts on the NASA Nazis for now on that note. The many connections to my life, and the ironies of it, are something that I will always think about.

Hi:

The next month will be a busy one at my day job, so I’ll be relatively quiet on the posting front, and I plan to get cracking on my big essay revision. I have been working on it over the past couple of years, but slowly. Writing about Ed, Brent, Owen, Gary, Nasa Nazis, Howard, other dead friends, and others takes time, and I believe are worthwhile subjects, at least as far as how they relate to my work. Make no mistake: my work is about helping manifest the Fifth Epoch, but I am also a comprehensivist, and writing about those subjects, and also topics such as Assange, vaccinations, Global Warming, various scientific and historical issues, the USA’s imperial behavior, whether it is Iraq, Iran, Syria, Russia, and so on, posting up pics of my hikes, discussing fantasy authors, visions of the future, the increasing craziness of American society, the homeless issue, the insanity of capitalism, and many other themes just comes with the comprehensive territory. In the Fifth Epoch, nearly all such issues disappear, along with nations, races, cities as we know them, etc.

Almost nothing about today’s world will survive for long in the Fifth Epoch, and nobody will miss them, either, except maybe the dark pathers. When the background hum of scarcity and fear ceases to be the metronome of human societies, everything will change, in ways that are difficult to imagine, even for the few who want to try, and I seek those few who want to try. Nobody has ever tried to help manifest a new Epoch in this way before. Heck, nobody has ever seen the new Epoch coming before, so this is an unprecedented approach, but a fitting one for trying to manifest the biggest event in the human journey.

After a lifetime of trial-and-error, and catastrophically so, I came to my current approach, and at Avalon and elsewhere, you can see people who simply don’t understand, as they grind their particular scarcity-based axes, go on the offensive, and so on, and I try to spend as little time on them as I can. I seek the few who understand, or are capable and willing to try, and I have known since the 1980s that they are going to be vanishingly rare people. It is just what it is, but those are the only people who can help with this Epochal task. I am only one man, and I keep plunking along, juggling my life, surviving personal disasters, punching the clock, growing old, and the like, trying to move that ball another inch toward the goal, which is the loftiest one possible on Earth. The approach I came to will work, if enough people with the right stuff can combine their efforts, as Brian stated, but it can’t be a lowest-common-denominator approach, either. Been there, done that. It has to aim high.

Back to work.

Best,

Wade
