Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 The US Recreated the Nazi War Crimes Machine * Part 1by Jared IsraelSix decades of cover-up and still going strong...The Nazi war crimes apparatus was recruited lock, stock and barrel and secretly redeployed worldwide. It became US Intelligence.--Part 1: Primed not to hear[Posted 4 January 2004]Part 2 of this series is athttp://emperors-clothes.com/coverup/1983.htm ========================================================= The other day, someone called to make a donation to Emperor's Clothes, and he asked, "What's this article you're going to post about the origins of US and German Intelligence?" And I said, "It's really shocking. The US foreign policy establishment created both intelligence services by re-creating the Nazi war crimes apparatus. Lock, stock and barrel." I expected the caller to be amazed but I was the one who was amazed because he wasn't."Oh that," he said. "Yeah, they were working with some Nazis. Everyone knows that."Notice that what he said is not what I said. I have had virtually the same exchange with other people. I now realize that this reaction is common because over the past 20 years we have gradually been inoculated against hearing the truth about US recruitment of Nazi war criminals. We have been fed fragments of accurate information mixed with lies. We have been taught a trivialized version of what happened. This is worse than not knowing anything at all because when I say, "The US ferreted out and reconstructed the Nazi war crimes apparatus which then *became* US foreign intelligence and covert political operations", people hear, "They were working with some Nazis."In this series of articles I will show you that the picture you have been shown of the relationship between US intelligence and Nazism after World War II is deliberately off-focus. I will dissect a few texts so you can see how you were lied to. The truth is much worse than you think. Indeed, it is probably much worse than what I presently think because the more research I do, the worse it looks. Let's start with the caller's statement, that US intelligence was "working with some Nazis." Why is this wrong? Because the phrase, "working with", implies equality of power. A slave owner does not "work with" his slaves. A jailer does not "work with" his prisoners. And US intelligence officers do not "work with" Nazis who lost the war and are wanted for mass murder.The Nazis recruited by US intelligence were wanted for the most heinous crimes. Many were members of the SS, the Gestapo and the Nazi Leadership Corps. The Nuremberg Tribunal, whose decisions were binding under international law, defined these groups as parts of the worst criminal conspiracy in history. The fact that a person had been a member subjected that person to arrest. [1]The people sought out for recruitment by US intelligence had been involved in war crimes all over Europe, especially in the East. The US was obliged under the Moscow Declaration to turn over these Nazis so they could be tried in the countries where their crimes were committed. [2] People hunted for war crimes are in no position to bargain with those supposedly hunting them. If the US "employed" these criminals, then they were "employees" whose alternative was the hangman's noose. If US operatives treated these Nazis super-well, even deferring to their judgment - and they did - it was because they were told to do so by their chain of command: [3][Excerpt from Dabringhaus testimony starts here]"Barbie was so well in with my superiors that he did not ask me for orders, but just told me what he was going to do. In fact he was so well thought of that I was more like his chauffeur."-- American college professor and former US intelligence officer Erhard Dabringhaus, testifying at the trial of Klaus Barbie, the mass murderer in charge of the Gestapo in Nazi-occupied Lyon. Dabringhaus was Barbie's US handler in 1948. [Excerpt from Dabringhaus testimony ends here]In the following series of articles, I will show: 1) That starting before the end of World War II, the US Establishment sought out and protected thousands of the worst Nazis, deliberately re-creating the Nazi foreign war crimes apparatus on all levels; that this included some people like Reinhard Gehlen (a top Nazi involved in planning the murder of millions) and thousands of people like Klaus Barbie (a hands-on killer). 2) That this was done despite opposition, including from within US intelligence;3) That this was done in clear violation of international law; 4) That the highly sophisticated US planners who ordered the reconstruction and absorption of the Nazi murder machine knew this would result in the Nazification of US intelligence including covert political operations; 5) That a section of the US-created Nazi apparatus later became West German intelligence (the BND);6) That the US sent Nazi war criminals worldwide, thus Nazifying intelligence and security forces in the Arab world, Latin America and elsewhere.One might like to believe that the Nazi-dominated cultures of these organizations were transformed when the original Nazis retired or died. But this is wishful thinking because of the way that all institutions, and especially intelligence and security organizations, operate. Secret and cliquish, these groups recruit young people loyal to the institution's ideas and methods. New recruits are conditioned to adopt the institution's culture. Reinhard Gehlen was one of the most important Nazis recruited by the US. As we shall see, as head of the Nazi army's intelligence corps in the occupied part of the Soviet Union, he helped plan the slaughter of *millions* of civilians and POWs. These killings were not militarily necessary; indeed, they may have been militarily costly because they increased the will to resist. Then why were these millions of non-combatants murdered, mainly by deliberate starvation? Why did General (later Field Marshal) Erich von Manstein tell the Wehrmacht, the German Army, that the Soviet population *had to be* starved and that nothing: [4]"...may, out of a sense of mistaken humaneness, be distributed to prisoners or to the population - unless they are in the service of the German Wehrmacht." Why? Because they were supposedly subhuman: [5] This was a war not only of conquest but of extermination. Entire regions of the USSR were to be cleared of the existing Communist apparatus and of Slavic "subhumans" to make way for settlement by "Aryan pioneers."...At least 100,000 Jews and Slavs were slain at Babi Yar, near Kiev [ukraine], and so on, and on, and on.
