“Without habeas corpus in the United States today,
what we now have is a Fourth Reich, somebody in a position of power -
the President, the Attorney General, the head of Homeland Security – can simply
point a figure at you and designate you as an undesirable and hence,
an enemy combatant, and they can grab you and imprison you
and you don’t even get a day in court, much less a lawyer.”
- Jim Marrs, Author, The Rise of the Fourth Reich
August 1, 2008 Wise County, Texas - Recently
I read a new book published in July 2008 that documents surprising
links between Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Third Reich (1933 to 1945 empire) in
Germany - and America’s banks, business owners, political power-brokers
and wars - past and present.
The new book is entitled, The Rise of the Fourth Reich by New York Times
best-selling author, Jim Marrs. Jim has been tracking down facts and
trying to make sense of American political history since his college
days as a journalism major at the University of North Texas in Denton.
He graduated in 1966 and began a newspaper reporting and editing career
at the Denton Record Chronicle, the Lubbock Avalanche Journal and the Fortworth-Star Telegram where he was an investigative reporter, cartoonist, and earned photography awards.
By 1988, Jim Marrs decided that he had to put his big file about
President John F. Kennedy’s assassination into a book he called Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy. Two months after its release in 1989, Jim received a call from Hollywood film director, Oliver Stone, who wanted to option Crossfire for the movie that became JFK.
Jim began asking book editors what they thought was the next big,
secret government cover-up beyond the JFK assassination. Everyone said
“UFOs.” That’s what lead Jim to write his 1997 book, Alien Agenda, which has become the top selling non-fiction UFO book in the world. Next was Rule By Secrecy,
in 2000, which links the money-power elite of America with the
money-power elite of Europe back to the money-power elite of
Mesopotamia – which is modern day Iran and Iraq! According to Sumerian
cuneiform tablets, Mesopotamia was controlled and manipulated by
non-humans called Annunaki that had their own agendas on this planet.
After American buildings, planes and lives were destroyed on
September 11, 2001, Jim did his own research and became convinced there
were other truths beyond the official government version and wrote The Terror Conspiracy published in 2006, followed in 2007 by Psi Spies: The True Story of America’s Psychic Warfare Program.
Now in his newest book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich, Jim
Marrs lays out in great detail with names, places and dates his
assertion that Hitler’s National Socialism (NAZI) did not die at the
end of World War II because protégés of Hitler had spread corporate
front companies around the world. Further, the United States imported
Hitler’s best rocket scientists in Project Paperclip to test V-2
rockets at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico.
Even current President George W. Bush’s grandfather - Prescott Bush
– was intimately connected in the 1930s to 1940s with the powers that
represented the Rockefellers and Rothschild banking and business
interests that were also involved in the creation and growth of Hitler
and his Nazi Party. In late 1942, the U. S. government actually
prosecuted Prescott Bush under the Trading With The Enemy Act because
he was handling money for German steel magnate, Fritz Thyssen, who was
helping to finance the rise of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Third Reich.
Creating wars for profit and stripping civilian liberties are Nazi
goals. Jim Marrs warns that is already happening in the United States.
Interview:
Jim Marrs, Journalist and Author, Wise County, Texas:
“Today, almost every thinking person agrees that the United States is
off on the wrong path. Some how, we’ve gotten off on the wrong foot.
We’ve taken the wrong turn. We’re into dangerous waters and waters
that, in many ways, are contrary to the liberties and freedom that this
country was built on. The problem is that no one knows whom to
identify. Liberals blame the conservatives. Conservatives blame the
liberals. Republicans blame Democrats. Democrats blame Republicans.
Well, what I’ve done in my new book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich,
is to document and show that we can all agree to point the finger at
the one group that it’s still politically correct to vilify and that is
Nazis.
But you have to understand that a Nazi is not necessarily a
jack-booted, Swastika-bearing German. The term ‘Nazi’ is an acronym for
National Socialism. That is the political system Adolph Hitler put into
power in Germany in the 1930s. Even though the Germans were defeated in
WWII, Nazism, or National Socialism, never was defeated. In fact, it
was embraced by the ruling, wealthy, elite that runs the United States
of America. These people supported Hitler in his rise to power. They
supported Hitler through WWII and continued to support National
Socialism long after Hitler passed from the scene.
The ruling elite did this in connivance with many wealthy Americans
who saw profit and power and control in this system and they have
slowly turned the once-free United States Republic into a new empire of
the wealthy – a Fourth Reich.
WHAT IN JULY 2008 ARE THE BIGGEST SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ADOLPH HITLER’S THIRD REICH OF WWII AND MODERN AMERICA AND THIS WORLD?
We see the erosion of individual liberties. If you say anything
that’s unpopular, you even risk jail and a fine. We also see
increasingly that our police forces are no longer the citizen warriors
or blue-clad police from a few years ago. They are now black-clad with
the cold scuttle helmet, the same design that the Nazi troops used in
WWII.
And we also see that Hitler, when he invaded Poland, he didn’t want
to upset the German people by calling up general conscription (drafting
youth into war), so he used reserve troops to start WWII, just like
we’re using our reserve troops to fight imperial wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq. Of course, then you come up through the similarities and
parallels between the burning of the Reichstag and Enabling Act with
the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in the United States and the
rapid passage of the Patriot Act and the creation of Homeland Security.
The parallels between WWII Germany and modern America are all there.
The big difference in modern America with Nazi Germany is that in
the Germany of the 1930s, the state gained control over the
corporations. Today in modern America, we see that the corporations
have gained control over the state. But the end result is the same.
America Without Habeas Corpus
UNDER THIS CURRRENT ADMINISTRATION, WE STILL DON’T EVEN HAVE A
RESTORATION OF HABEAS CORPUS, WHICH MEANS ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN CAN BE
ARRESTED WITHOUT CHARGE STATED.
That’s right. That’s why we no longer have a Republic. Without
habeas corpus in the United States today, what we now have is a Fourth
Reich, somebody in a position of power - the President, the Attorney
General, the head of Homeland Security – can simply point a figure at
you and designate you as an undesirable and hence, an enemy combatant,
and they can grab you and imprison you and you don’t even get a day in
court, much less a lawyer. This administration has systematically
stripped the United States of its fundamental Constitutional rights.
That’s bad enough, but what really concerns me is that so many people
refuse to look at that. They do not want to admit that. They do not
want to see it and so they are allowing it to take place and continue.
[ Editor's Note: Wikipedia -
The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has long been
celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the
subject. Albert Venn Dicey wrote that the Habeas Corpus Acts ‘declare
no principle and define no rights, but they are for practical purposes
worth a hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual
liberty.’ In most countries, however, the procedure of habeas corpus
can be suspended in time of national emergency. In most civil law
jurisdictions, comparable provisions exist, but they may not be called
‘habeas corpus.’
Modern America: The reach of habeas corpus is currently being tested
in the United States. Oral arguments on a consolidated Guantanamo Bay
detention camp detainee habeas corpus petition, Al Odah v. United
States were heard by the Supreme Court of the United States on December
5, 2007, and recently by HR 1955 The Violent Radicalization and
Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2006. On June 12, 2008, the
Supreme Court ruling in Boumediene v. Bush recognized habeas corpus
rights for the Guantanamo prisoners. However, the following month, the
4th Circuit Court gave the President the power to arrest and detain
U.S. citizens on native soil indefinitely.]
Bush Family’s WWII Business Link to
Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Party
PRESCOTT BUSH, THE GRANDFATHER OF THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES (43rd) AND FATHER OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT BUSH (41st) –
COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN PRESCOTT BUSH’S ROLE IN AMERICAN BUSINESS,
POLITICS AND MONEY IN RELATIONSHIP TO NAZI GERMANY?
Jim Marrs: “Prescott Bush, who sat as a board
member of the Hamburg-America Line (ocean liners), along with Germany’s
Max Warburg (banking), was intimately connected with the powers that
represented the Rockefeller and Rothschild interests that were heavily
involved in the creation and growth of Hitler and his Nazis. Prescott
Bush, as a director of the Union Banking Corporation, handled all the
money for Fritz Thyssen, the steel magnate of Germany.
Fritz Thyssen has admitted and proclaimed that he was the primary
financier of Adolph Hitler and his Nazis. And Prescott Bush was
handling the money on this side of the Atlantic.
In late 1942, the U. S. government actually prosecuted Prescott Bush
as being nothing but a financial front man for Hitler and the Nazis
under the Trading With The Enemy Act. He was fined and stripped of his
holdings in the Union-Banking Corp.
[ Editor’s Note: Wikipedia
- The Trading with the Enemy Act, sometimes abbreviated as TWEA, is a
United States federal law, 12 U.S.C. 95a, enacted in 1917 to restrict
trade with countries hostile to the United States. The law gives the
President the power to oversee or restrict any and all trade between
the U.S. and her enemies in times of war.
Hamburg America Line, or Hamburg Line, was an enterprise established
in Hamburg, Germany in 1847, for shipping across the Atlantic Ocean. It
soon developed into the largest German, and at times, world's largest
shipping company, serving the market created by German immigration to
the United States.
Hamburg America Line lost almost the entirety of its fleet twice, as
a result of each of World War I and World War II. During Prescott
Bush's tenure as Director of Hamburg America Line, the company came
under investigation in the U.S. for Nazi propaganda activities linked
to German steel magnate, Fritz Thyssen.
Business links with Fritz Thyssen: Harriman Bank was the main Wall
Street partner for several German companies and the varied U.S.
financial interests of Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen had been an early
financial backer of the Nazi party, but later denounced Hitler and fled
Germany. He was later jailed by the Nazis for his opposition to the
Nazi regime.
Business transactions with Germany were not illegal until Hitler
declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941. Six days after
the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed
the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that U.S.
companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United
States. On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of
German banking operations in New York City and seized property under
the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order cited only the Union Banking
Corporation (UBC), of which Prescott Bush was a director.]
Modern Al Qaeda Terrorist Link
to Nazis and Muslim Brotherhood
I THOUGHT ONE OF THE GREATEST IRONIES IN YOUR ENTIRE BOOK BEGINS ON
PAGE 207 WHEN YOU SAY, ‘TODAY’S TERRORIST GROUPS CAN BE TRACED RIGHT
BACK TO THE NAZIS.’ WHO IS BIN LADEN IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE HISTORY
BETWEEN GERMANY, THE UNITED STATES AND SAUDI ARABIA?
Right. Well, what you’ll find out in my new book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich,
is that Osama Bin Laden was recruited into the Muslim Brotherhood back
in the 1970s. The Muslim Brotherhood was created in Egypt back in the
1930s, but by the late 1930s had been pretty well taken over by a Nazi
organization. A leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was a great admirer of
Hitler.
ISN’T IT TRUE THAT ALLEN DULLES, THEN DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY IN THE 1950S, ARRANGED TO HAVE THE NAZIS OF THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TRANSFERRED TO SAUDI ARABIA?
That’s correct. During the war, any serviceman who served in North
Africa would probably believe that we had as much problems with the
Arabs there as we had with the Nazis because the Arabs, through the
Muslim Brotherhood, had aligned themselves with the Nazis.
But we managed to overcome that and we defeated the Nazis in WWII,
so the Muslim Brotherhood was then picked up by British intelligence at
the end of the war. But then a short time later, they were passed along
to our CIA, which at that time was headed by Allen Dulles. His brother,
John Foster Dulles, was Secretary of State under Eisenhower. The two
Dulles brothers were the attorneys for Cromwell and Sullivan, which was
the law firm that represented the Schroder Bank and the
Rockefeller-Schroeder Investment Corporation - the very nexus of
business connections that supported the Nazis.
So, they were instrumental in bringing Nazis over to the United
States under Project Paperclip (V-2 rockets at White Sands Proving
Ground, New Mexico) and other programs at the end of the war and
white-washing their Nazi records. This is what put a huge nucleus of
National Socialists right into our military-industrial complex where it
spread out and is trying to gain control today.
America’s CIA Trained Saudi Muslim
Brotherhood in Afghanistan
ISN’T IT TRUE THAT BY 1979, THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY TOOK THE
NAZI SAUDI MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TO AFGHANISTAN TO FIGHT WITH THE SOVIETS
AND THEY BECAME THE MUJAHIDEEN, WHICH IN THE MODERN WORLD TODAY ARE ONE
AND THE SAME AS AL QAEDA? [ Editor's Note: The Mujahideen are Muslims involved in a jihad, fighting a war or involved in a struggle.]
That’s absolutely correct. When we took the Muslim Brotherhood into
Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight against the Russian incursion there,
the Muslim Brotherhood had already obtained a pretty bad name. They
were originally thrown out of Egypt by Gamal Nasser because of their
violence, but they were predominantly extremist Wahhabi Muslims. As a
result, they were taken in by Saudi Arabia. This is still the
predominant faction in Saudi Arabia today and, of course, this is where
Osama Bin Laden entered the picture. [ Editor's Note: Gamal Abdel Nasser (January 15, 1918 to September 28, 1970) was President of Egypt from 1956 until his death.]
Then after the Soviets left Afghanistan during the Clinton years
when we had the was in Kosovo, we find that it was the Al Qaeda that
was funding and training the Kosovo Liberation Army, which was the
faction that the United States supported. So, we can see that the CIA
was involved with, if not controlling, Al Qaeda all the way up until
the George Bush II administration. I think that should cause every
thinking person to take a very serious second look at the attacks of
9/11.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE CURRENT BUSH AND FORMER BUSH ACTUALLY WENT INTO IRAQ?
(laughs) Well, of course, there is the question of the oil. But I
don’t think that is the real reason because we were getting only 16% of
our imported oil from Iraq prior to our invasion and we aren’t even
getting that now because they keep blowing up the pipelines. That’s
also the sticking point even with our little puppet government that we
put in power over there is they are dragging their feet on the
relinquishing the rights to all their oil to us. They have pretty much
gone along with everything else, but they still don’t want to give up
all their oil rights. So, I don’t think it was about oil.
What Did Bush Administration Want
from Iraq National Museum in Baghdad?
Personally, I think it had more to do with the looting of the Iraqi
National Museum because I have in my files news articles from the
associated press and European media from 1999 through 2001, speaking of
‘amazing new discoveries being made in Iraq by French and German
archaeological teams, which I find very fascinating because after all
it was probably France and Germany that were most opposed to our
invasion of Iraq.
When we decided to attack Iraq in the spring of 2003, we violated
normal military tactics, which is to seize an objective, consolidate
your winnings and then move on to the next objective. We simply made a
beeline for Baghdad, which is one of the reasons we’re having so many
problems still is because we failed to pacify the countryside. Instead,
we went straight to Baghdad and despite assurances to world museum
directors by the Pentagon that the Iraqi National Museum would be
protected, it was not and there was wholesale looting. According to
Col. Matthew Bogdanos, who investigated the Iraqi Museum looting for
General Tommy Franks, he described the looting of the basement as an
‘inside job.’ He said there were guards conveniently missing; they had
keys to some of the locked vaults; they knew exactly what they were
looking for; they by-passed expensive looking fakes. They went right
for the new, uncatalogued stuff.
