The Power Elite and the Secret Nazi Plan

News With Views (Link) - Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D. (February 23, 2009)

This is actually a three-part series. The first article was published February 23, the second March 9 and the third on May 18, 2009. I've combined them all together here.

[NOTE: As I’ve written many times before, the goal of the Power Elite (PE) is a World Socialist Government. Critical to coercing Americans to accept Socialism is the nationalization of key sectors of the economy, such as banking. I’ve indicated in the past that this type of coercion would be brought about by an economic crisis, such as the one we are currently experiencing. Relevant to this, Jon Meacham and Evan Thomas wrote “We Are All Socialists Now” (Newsweek, Feb. 16, 2009), and Matthew Richardson and Nouriel Roubini wrote “Nationalize the Banks! We’re all Swedes Now!” (The Washington Post, Feb. 15, 2009) which begins: “The U.S. banking system is close to being insolvent, and unless we want to become like Japan in the 1990s—or the United States in the 1930s—the only way to save it is to nationalize it.” Even Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on ABC’s “This Week” (Feb. 15, 2009) indicated we should consider the possibility of nationalizing banks.

[And in case you think this crisis happened accidentally, just consider the fact that “the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) waived the 12 to 1 leverage ratios for the five biggest investment banks. Those banks then leveraged 40 to 1 and collapsed the worldwide financial system” (January 5, 2009 Financial Sense editorial by James Quinn of the Wharton Business School). Do you really believe no one could see what the disastrous results of going from 12 to 1 leveraging to 40 to 1 would be? When these banks started taking losses, Quinn has also pointed out, their capital was immediately wiped out and the problem was dumped in the taxpayers’ laps.]

In previous columns, I’ve mentioned the secret Nazi plan described in American official Sumner Welles’ The Time for Decision (1944). It was a plan (for a Nazi loss in WWII) which would come to fruition two generations later. It included Nazi agents going underground into two successive countries to avoid detection (Paul Dickopf went underground into Switzerland in 1942). These agents would eventually rise to positions of power in those second nations.

Welles must have learned of this secret plan when he was on friendly terms with the Nazi leadership long before the U.S. entered WWII. A Google search of “sumner welles portraits” shows a photograph of Welles and Hermann Goering on March 19, 1940. But why almost two years before the U.S. entered WWII would the Nazis plan for a loss? And why after WWII was there never an investigation of this secret plan? Robert Ludlum in his fictional The Apocalypse Watch referred to “The Brotherhood of the Watch” a global neo-Nazi secret organization formed in the days after the Third Reich’s defeat and exposed about 50 years later.

As I’ve written before, Hitler’s rise and demise were facilitated by the PE. In the same year (1942) the Nazi agent Paul Dickoff went underground into Switzerland and the U.S. was already in the war, “Standard Oil of New Jersey managers shipped the enemy’s fuel through neutral Switzerland and the enemy was shipping Allied fuel. The Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan. Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan. Col. Sosthenes Behn, head of ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London. And ITT built the Focke-Wulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops.” (Charles Higham’s Trading With the Enemy, p. xv).

As I’ve also written before, I.G. Farben’s war industries (e.g. chemicals, rubber, etc.) staffed and directed Hitler’s intelligence section and ran the Nazi slave labor camps. So why at the end of WWII were 87% of Farben’s industries still intact?

At the end of the war, U.S. Justice Department attorney James Stewart Martin (author of All Honorable Men, 1950) went to Germany to sort out the relationship of American and German businesses during the war, but he was thwarted in his efforts, saying: “We had not been stopped in Germany by German businesses. We had been stopped in Germany by American business. The forces that stopped us had operated from the United States but had not operated in the open. We were not stopped by a law of Congress, by an Executive Order of the President, or even by a change of policy approved by the president…. In short, whatever it was that stopped us was not ‘the government.’ But it clearly had command of channels through which the government normally operates. The relative powerlessness of government… is of course not new…. National governments have stood on the sidelines while bigger operators arranged the world’s affairs.” Relevant to this, it’s important to remember that the PE is NOT the government of any country, but the PE’s agents are IN the governments of countries.

In order to explain what the PE was doing, it is important to look at how they operate, and John J. McCloy as an agent of the PE is a useful example of this regard. In the 1930s, PE agent McCloy’s law firm of Cravath, de Gersdorff, Swaine & Wood were attorneys for I.G. Farben. This is perhaps one reason McCloy sat in Hitler’s box at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin (because the PE is neither right nor left politically, McCloy in late July 1961 went swimming with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in the Black Sea).

On October 29 of the same year (1936), American Ambassador to Germany William E. Dodd wrote to President Wilson’s chief advisor Col. Edward M. House expressing his surprise and wonder that “in spite of all the debts and all the huge losses since the great war, more than a hundred of our greater corporations have subsidiaries here and are of course involved in a great deal of the acute business which goes on. At the same time no corporation can take profits out of the country, although some I am told earn as much as half a million dollars a year…. Yet a great many of these corporations are supplying the means for rearmament, actually supplying arms. It’s strange to me that they are willing to risk the property of their stockholders in such a way.”

Four years later, Skull & Bones member Henry Stimson went to Washington to become President Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of War, and he brought McCloy with him as Assistant Secretary of War. To demonstrate the importance of McCloy, Stimson would later question “whether anyone in the Administration ever acted without having a word with McCloy.”

McCloy’s lawfirm had as one of its clients the Rockefeller family, and during WWII McCloy was a senior member of John D. Rockefeller III’s intelligence group, the State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC). With this background, McCloy established the highly secret U.S. Army’s Psychological Warfare Division at the time of D-Day in 1944. It was also during this time from 1940 to 1946 that American Thomas Harrington McKittrick (an associate of J.P. Morgan Banking) was president of the Nazi-controlled Bank for International Settlements (BIS) where $378 million of the Nazis’ looted gold had been sent.

Part 2

[NOTE: People across the U.S. question whether there really is a Power Elite (PE) facilitating global events. My response is, “If a former Chief of Special Operations (clandestine activities) for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (USJCS) says there’s a secret team that controls the U.S. and the World, why is it so hard to believe in a PE acting similarly?” Former Special Ops Chief for the USJCS, L. Fletcher Prouty authored The Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World (1973), in which he revealed there’s a “Secret Team consisting of security-cleared individuals in and out of government who receive secret intelligence data gathered by the CIA and the National Security Agency…. The Secret Team has very close affiliations with elements of power in more than threescore foreign countries and is able when it chooses to topple governments, to create governments, and to influence governments almost anywhere in the free world.”]

In Part 1 of this series, I mentioned the importance of I.G. Farben. In fact, after WWII the U.S. War Department conducted an investigation and produced a document that revealed: “Without I.G.’s immense productive facilities, its intense research and vast affiliations, Germany’s prosecution of the war would have been unthinkable and impossible….” And how was I.G. Farben able to have “immense productive facilities”? A great deal of Farben’s expansion prior to WWII was paid for by funds from Rockefeller’s National City Bank, J.P. Morgan’s Equitable Trust Company, Harris Forbes & Co., and another Rockefeller entity called Dillon, Read & Company.

Hitler received funds via the August Thyssen Bank which was affiliated with the Harrimans of Skull & Bones in the U.S. The Union Banking Corporation (UBC) of New York was a joint Thyssen-Harriman operation, according to author Antony Sutton, and it had four directors who were members of the same Skull & Bones cell (D 115) as well as two Nazi directors (Johann Groninger and H. J. Kouwenhoven).

Also mentioned in Part 1 of this series as being important was PE agent John J. McCloy. After WWII, Mc Cloy became president of the World Bank in 1947 and U.S. High Commissioner in Germany in 1949. From this latter influential position, he pressured West Germany (and France) to establish the European and Steel Community which later became the basis for the Common Market and eventually the European Union. This type of regional economic arrangement was a necessary part of the PE’s plan to link such economic arrangements into a management structure which would form the basis for a World Socialist Government. (Countering globalisation’s dark side - Javier Solana)

Regarding the Nazis, not only would their ability to wage war have been impossible without fuel (from Standard Oil, etc.), but also impossible without armaments from Krupp industries. Despite the fact that Alfried Krupp was tried before a Nuremberg Military Tribunal and found guilty as a war criminal on July 31, 1948 (with confiscation of all his property), on February 4, 1951 McCloy issued a general amnesty plus the return of Krupp’s personal fortune and corporate property.

Following this, McCloy in 1953 became chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which was an outgrowth of PE member Cecil Rhodes’ “scheme to take the government of the whole world.” McCloy held this position until 1970 when he was followed as chairman by David Rockefeller, who in his Memoirs has acknowledged being part of a “secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,… conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world.”

During his tenure as CFR chairman, McCloy in 1956 had written: “In my view we must be ready to consider the most far-reaching proposals, including those for total disarmament, universal, enforceable and complete with international controls and inspection.” Because of this viewpoint, President-elect John Kennedy on January 2, 1961 designated McCloy as his principal disarmament advisor and negotiator. Nine months later, Kennedy on September 25, 1961 addressed the U.N. General Assembly, proclaiming: “Let us join in dismantling the national capacity to wage war…. The program to be presented to this assembly is for general and complete disarmament.” Complete disarmament of the U.S. and all other nations was an important goal of the PE.

Concerning the Nazi’s secret plan mentioned earlier, by the late 1960s Nazi agents had time to ascend to positions of power in the world. By 1968, Nazi secret agent Paul Dickopf had left Switzerland and became head of Interpol, headquartered in France (remember the plan was to go underground into two successive countries). He remained in that strategically powerful position until 1972.

At this point, it is important to remember that Dickopf, McCloy, and others are not the PE, but merely its agents and not necessarily familiar with what each other are doing (e.g., McCloy may not have been involved in the Nazis’ secret plan). The PE is like a puppeteer pulling the strings of its individual agents in a coordinated manner to accomplish its overall objectives.

However, given McCloy’s position in the War Department, given that no one in FDR’s Administration probably “ever acted without having a word with McCloy,” and given his position as U.S. High Commissioner of Germany, it’s doubtful he was unaware of the Rat Lines and Operation Paperclip. Rat Lines were escape routes Nazis used fleeing Europe at the end of WWII in order to get primarily to South America, but also perhaps to the U.S., Canada and the Middle East. If you do a simple Google search for “History of the Italian Rat Line,” an April 10, 1950 U.S. Army intelligence document will appear. One Nazi intelligence officer, Richard Gehlen, was employed by the CIA after WWII and headed the Gehlen Org which supported the ODESSA (Organization of former SS members) network in their use of Rat Lines. Examples of prominent Nazis using Rat Lines were Adolph Eichmann, Klaus Barbie, and Josef Mengele.

At the end of WWII, a secret intelligence operation code-named Operation Paperclip brought hundreds of Nazi scientists to the U.S., and some parts of the operation may still exist today. The operation was under the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA). Beginning in 1948, the JIOA also began Project National Interest, which brought Nazis to the U.S. to work in universities or as defense contractors.

John D. Rockefeller III as a Naval Lt.-Commander from 1942 to 1945 was a member of the State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee (SWNCC, formed December 1944, was a precursor of National Security Council). SWNCC was headed by John J. McCloy, and it approved an expanded version of Operation Paperclip, bringing about 1000 German and Austrian scientists to the U.S. in the “interest of national security” (see SWNCC 257/22). According to Secret Agenda (1991) by Linda Hunt, some Nazi scientists (like Siegfried Ruff and Hermann Becker-Freyseng) “were employed under Paperclip to continue the same type of research that had resulted in the murder of Dachau prisoners!”

Werner von Braun, leading NASA space scientist here in the 1960s had been a Major in Himmler’s ruthless SS. Convicted Nazi war criminal Otto Ambrose came to the U.S. as part of Project National Interest and worked as a consultant to W.R. Grace & Company for decades. Interestingly, Ambrose had been a director of I.G. Farben which manufactured Zyklon B, the gas that killed millions of Jews and others. Ambrose was also one of those released by U.S. High Commissioner of Germany John J. McCloy in 1951. Nazi Major-General Walter Dornberger commanded a missile base at Peenemunde in WWII, and under Operation Paperclip became vice-president of Bell Aerosystems in Niagara Falls, New York.

The list goes on and on, but it’s clear McCloy and Rockefeller were aware of high profile Nazis who had been helped to escape to the U.S. at the end of WWII. And one can only wonder whether these Nazis might have been in contact over the years with those other Nazi agents who early in WWII spread throughout the world in order to fulfill today the secret Nazi plan mentioned at the beginning of this article!

Given the current economic crisis in the world, remember that part of the secret Nazi plan (scheduled to come to fruition today) involved “creating doubts among the people of each country as to the ability, integrity or wisdom of their leading statesmen.” The secret Nazi plan also involved Nazi agents “being trained to appear as men of large financial interests… over a period of years gaining a controlling influence… in labor unions in the banking world…. When the right time comes, stimulate internal dissension sufficiently to destroy the morale of the people.” Sound familiar?

Are we moving toward Socialism in the U.S. today? Are labor unions or “workers” being emphasized today? Since the U.S. is a “nation” could one call what is happening today a movement toward National Socialism emphasizing workers? And doesn’t the term Nazi stand for National Socialist (German) Workers’ Party? You can read in any good dictionary that the Nazis were Fascists who believe in “private enterprise under centralized government control.” Isn’t this what is occurring today? This is not an accusation that President Obama and the Democrats are some kind of secret Nazis. It is evident, however, that the country is being moved toward Socialism/Fascism, and thus the real Nazi agents would consider Obama and the Democrats (and some Republicans) as “useful idiots” in the fulfillment of their secret plan.

Part 3

[Note: Previously, I mentioned there are growing calls for a single global currency, and to them one can add that of Prof. Hossein Askari of Georgetown University, who wrote: “The only sure way to stabilize the world economy is to create a world central bank and a single reserve currency” (Asia Times Online, Feb. 6, 2009). A single global currency will be an extremely important step on the way toward the planned World Socialist Government, which will be brought about by linking regional economic unions. And in that regard, one reads in “Mexico’s Fox Touts EU-like Integration for the Americas” (San Antonio Express, March 28) that on March 27, 2009 former Mexican president Vicente Fox in San Antonio “expressed the hope that Canada, the United States and Mexico, indeed the rest of Latin America, would function like the European Union.” Fox stated, “My vision is to speed up the process of further integration” among the nations.]

Regarding my previous columns about the Power Elite (PE) and the secret Nazi plan for today, I have referred to American official Sumner Welles’ book The Time for Decision (1944) partially revealing the plan. For some reason, most people do not seem to take this threat seriously, saying those Nazis from World War II are dead or too old to pose a real threat. They miss the importance of Welles’ statement that the German General Staff “made detailed plans for a later renewal of its attempt to dominate the world… when the favorable moment arrives… perhaps two generations from now,” which means the plan had to include succession.

I mentioned in earlier columns that Abwehr (counterintelligence) Nazi agent Paul Dickopf went underground in the autumn of 1942 (he became head of Interpol 1968-1972). According to journalist Curt Riess in The Nazis Go Underground (1944), it was on the morning of November 9, 1942 that Hitler’s Reichsfuehrer SS Heinrich Himmler in his private office in the Brown House in Munich confided to Martin Bormann (head of the Nazi Party) that while Germany may have to capitulate militarily, “never must the National Socialist German Workers Party [Nazi Party] capitulate. That is what we have to work for from now.” Relevant to this effort, Himmler organized everything right down to the last detail regarding Nazis going underground and spreading throughout the world to fulfill their plan, perhaps in two generations. Preliminary work and planning was done by Himmler at the Gestapo building in the Prince Albrechtstrasse, Berlin, and the major Nazi undergound movement began May 16, 1943 at 11 Koenigsallee in Berlin under SS Generals Werner Heissmeyer and Fritz Kaltenbrunner.

Curt Riess in 1944 also revealed that “[The Nazi underground] organization in Argentina is all set up and waiting impatiently for the ‘go-ahead’ signal. Almost the same may be said of the numerous ‘collaborators’ in the United States.” Joseph Farrell (author of The SS Brotherhood of the Bell and Nazi International) said that Bormann had shifted $800 million in Nazi assets to Argentina, which was then used as a great power leverage with western banks.

In Europe, according Adam LeBor (“Revealed: The secret report that shows how the Nazis planned a Fourth Reich… in the EU,” Daily Mail, May 9, 2009), there was a secret meeting at the Maison Rouge Hotel in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944 where Nazi officials ordered an elite group of German industrialists to plan for the Nazis’ return to power in a Fourth Reich. This information was provided in U.S. Military Intelligence report (known as The Red House Report) EW-Pa 128 written in November 1944 by a French spy who was at the Strasbourg meeting. LeBor writes that “powerful Nazi-era bankers, industrialists and civil servants… worked for a new cause: European economic and political integration.”

The basis for this plan had been developed years earlier, as on September 11, 1940 Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels delivered a speech, “The Europe of the Future” to Czech intellectual workers and journalists stating: “I am convinced that in 50 years, people will no longer think in terms of countries…. In those days people will think in terms of continents…. No single European nation can in the long run be allowed to stand in the way of the general process of organization.”

In the same year (1940) as Goebbels’ speech, Nazi Minister of Economic Affairs (1937-1945) Walther Funk wrote a 16-page booklet, The Economic Future of Europe, and called for a “Central European Union” and “European Economic Area.” In 1942, Funk co-authored The European Economic Community, in which he declared, “There must be a readiness to subordinate one’s own interests in certain cases to those of [the EC].”

According to the 3-page Red House Report (marked “Secret”) in 1944, Himmler’s SS Obergruppenfuehrer Dr. Scheid (a Lt.-General) began the meeting at the Maison Rouge Hotel and ordered German industrialists to “make contacts and alliances with foreign firms, but this must be done individually and without attracting any suspicion.” Sheid also directed them to exploit the finances of those German firms that had already been used as fronts for economic penetration abroad, and he cited the American partners of Krupp, Zeiss, Leica, and the Hamburg-America Lines shipping company (remember here that George Herbert Walker’s and Prescott Bush’s Hamburg-America Lines transported Nazi Dr. Ernst Rudin and other Nazis to the Third International Congress on Eugenics in 1932 in New York where Rudin was unanimously elected president of the International Federation of Eugenic Societies).

LeBor in the Daily Mail wrote that “as most of the industrialists left the meeting [in Strasbourg], a handful were beckoned into another smaller gathering, presided over by Dr. Bosse of the Armaments Ministry. There were secrets to be shared with the elite of the elite…. [Bosse] laid out the three-stage strategy for the Fourth Reich…. In stage 3, German businesses would set up a ‘sleeper’ network of agents abroad through front companies, which were to be covers for military research and intelligence, until the Nazis returned to power.”

German economist Ludwig Erhard had written that their industry could expand after Germany’s defeat through supranationalism, meaning the voluntary surrender of national sovereignty to an international body. Thus, Germany (and France) were the primary advocates of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which created a common market for coal and steel and which would evolve into the European Union. LeBor wrote that “before the common market could be set up, the Nazis industrialists had to be pardoned, and Nazi banker and officials reintegrated. In 1951, John Jay McCloy, the American High Commissioner for Germany, issued an amnesty for industrialists convicted of war crimes.”

Two years before 1957, the Bilderberg Group held its Garmisch-Partenkirchen Conference September 23-25, 1955, and relevant to “European Unity,” the Bilderberg document recorded that “the discussion affirmed complete support for the idea of integration and unification from the representatives of all the six nations of the Coal and Steel Community present at the conference…. [There was] some expression by certain European participants of the view that in the economic field, it might be better to proceed through the development of a common market…. A European speaker expressed concern about the need to achieve a common currency, and indicated that in his view this necessarily implied the creation of a central political authority…. A United States participant confirmed that the United States had not weakened in its enthusiastic support for the idea of integration…. Another United States participant urged his European friends to go ahead with the unification of Europe….”

For a while I will be showing Herb L. Peters presentation on European history and current events that are potentially fulfilling Bible prophecy. Check it out here. (it will replay if you come in the middle of it.)
