THE PHOENIX RISES: THE BORMANN PLAN

The documents I had before me... contained firsthand evidence that the
Reichsleiter had survived the war and succeeded in escaping to Argentina. It was
attested by the Argentine authorities themselves, in highly classified intelligence
reports and positions papers drawn up for their own secret and official use.
~Ladislas Farago, Aftermath; Martin Bormann and the Fourth Reich
As the war turned irrevocably against the Third Reich, top Nazi leaders began to
plan for the future, among them the Reichsleiter Martin Bormann, Hitler's
secretary and virtual shadow, and financial administrator of the Party's, as well
as of Hitler's own personal and considerable, fortune.
While much of this story is known to the general public in broad outline, few
appreciate the degree of organization, planning, and success it had, and,
unfortunately, may be continuing to have. Even fewer appreciate its significance,
for what began in the secret societies of post-World War One Germany as the
most explosive political movement in modern history would end by once again
going underground, and operating behind a variety of false fronts that included
corporations, black projects, secret societies, and criminal and paramilitary
syndicates. It would thus exercise a considerable, though hidden, moral and
cultural influence on the world that emerged after World War Two.
With the failure of the final large German offensive in Soviet Russia at Kursk in
1943, the Nazi leadership had but two courses of action: (1) continue the war
and hope for the realization of their secret weapons projects in time to provide a
military resuscitation, or (2) begin the process of moving capital, technology,
and personnel to ensure the survival of the Party by other means. The Nazi
leadership chose both courses of action.
At first the movement of resources abroad - monetary, technological, and
human - proceeded haphazardly. Money and loot from a plundered Europe made
its way into secret Swiss bank accounts, or in the case of hard assets - precious
minerals, bullion, art, diamonds and other gemstones and so on - made its way
overland through France into "neutral" but decidedly pro-Axis Nationalist Spain.
But it soon became apparent that haphazard efforts would not ensure the
survival of the Party, nor the furtherance of its ideals, nor the spread of its
power in the postwar world, nor the continuance of its research projects, which
would have to be continued if it ever hoped to regain power and influence.
Organization and long-range planning in depth and breadth had to occur if
Nazism were to survive covertly. To this end, Reichsleiter Martin Bormann
orchestrated a top secret meeting on August 10, 1944, at the Hotel Rotes Haus
in Strassburg, in occupied France.

Representatives of all the major German industrial and armaments firms were
present, including the huge firms of Krupp, Thyssen, and of course, I.G. Farben.
Also present were Bormann himself, Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
Reichsbank, and his son-in-law, the famous SS commando, Colonel Otto
Skorzeny, leader of the daring air mission to rescue Benito Mussolini in 1943. At
this meeting, "provisions were made not only to move great sums of money
outside Germany but also to camouflage foreign assets on paper for the
resurrection of a financial-industrial empire, of sorts, once the Reich collapsed.
This empire was to be controlled by the SS." [Henry Stevens, The Last Battalion
and German Arctic, Antarctic, and Andean Bases]
As a result of this plan, the well-known SS-run ratlines were formed to assist
fleeing SS and other Nazis, to provide for their financial security, relocation, and
false identities. The most famous of these was of course the ODESSA group, or
the Organization Der Ehemahlige SS Angehrigen, or "Organization of Former SS
Members." Another famous organization was "Die Spinne" or The Spider. In any
case, under the Reichsleiter's powerful protection, the SS, in concert with the
Kriegsmarine, began to smuggle enormous quantities of gold, precious gems, art
and both genuine and counterfeit cash out of Germany. To a lesser extent,
machine tools, steel, technicians and other personnel began to be quietly
siphoned off Germany industry and smuggled out of Europe.
The financial treasure trove was then laundered by the SS via a variety of
methods, for example, through Evita Peron's Swiss bank accounts, through
dummy corporations, through the South American drug trade, and so on. During
this immediate postwar period, most of this fortune was controlled by Otto
Skorzeny.
The German industrialists who had been set up abroad with SS money dating
back to the deal at the Rotes Haus in Strassbourg in 1944 were asked by
Skorzeny to pay back their loans. Both Thyssen and Krupp did so, as presumably
did others. To give the reader an idea of the sums collected by Skorzeny, Eva
Peron alone had an estimated $800 million dollars in bank deposits, in 1945, and
4,600 carats of diamonds and other precious stones, 90 kilograms of platinum
and 2,500 kilograms of gold.
With these monies, the SS purchased huge tracts of land in South America and
elsewhere, and large corporations were established in which "research which had
begun in Germany could be carried through." These "secure areas" or
Sperrgebiete often saw the establishment of whole towns, airfields, highways
and all the amenities of civilized German life. Local security was, of course,
provided by the SS or "contract labor" from the host country.
The most famous of these colonies, perhaps, is the Colona Dignidad, a "colony"
notorious for the disappearances of the too-inquisitive reporter, and implicated
in the US overthrow of the Chilean Marxist government of Salvadore Allende in
the early 1970s and the training of Chilean dictator Pinochet's DINA

"interrogators." [Q.v. Peter Levenda, Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi

Involvement with the Occult] And of course, these secure areas in the Andes
and other remote South American locations are also reputed to b the sites of
secret Nazi laboratories continuing the research on "flying saucers" and other
wartime Nazi black projects.
Whatever one may think of the truthfulness of the last allegation, it is true - and
generally well known - that such colonies of Nazis did and still do exist in South
America, with connections to the South American underworld and governments
that one can only imagine. But there is good reason not to dismiss even the
"continued research" allegation too quickly, for it conforms to a well-known
pattern of secret post-war West German corporate and military research on the
continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Africa.

The Birth of the Fourth Reich

By Alex Constantine
In September 1944, Sims Carter, assistant chief of the Economic Warfare
section of the Justice Department, testified before the Kilgore Committee that
despite military defeat, the industrial cartels of Germany had renewed
activity from bases in Argentina: "All the machinery," he said, "is ready for
safeguarding German supremacy in the steadily expanding South American
market."
Much of that market had been quietly incorporated by I.G. Farben and other
financial backers of Hitler well before the war began. In the 1930s, as
German factories tooled up for the onslaught, German entrepreneurs quietly
built factories, railroads and chemical and steel plants throughout South
America. The munitions industry was all but monopolized by Farben and
Krupp, providing business fronts for the Nazi fifth column. The insinuation of
Nazism into Caribbean politics was directed by Alfred Becker and Arnold
Margerie, officers of Farben La Quimica Bayer in Caracas. Down in Argentina,
Axel Wenner-Gren, a Swedish millionaire and crony of Herman Goering,
Hitler's propaganda minister, established subsidiaries and gracefully snatched
up the key industrial plants.
Edward Stettinius, U.S. secretary of state, speaking at an inter-American
conference in 1945, warned that the Nazis would attempt "to escape the
consequences of their crimes. We must be constantly on the alert for the
flight into this hemisphere of Nazi funds and Nazi underground leaders who
will seek to find a refuge here for an ultimate comeback." Among those to
slip through the Allied dragnet in occupied Germany, scramble across the rat
lines set up by American intelligence and the secret orders of the Vatican and
settle in South America were Klaus Barbie (Bolivia), Heinrich Mller

(Argentina), Josef Mengele (Paraguay), Walter Rauff (Chile), and Freidrich

Schwend (Peru). Financial and political ties in South America, the collusion of
American and Latin officials and military intelligence, subverted any attempt
to block the resurgence. The heart of the Nazi Party remained nearly intact.
In a book on Nazi industry and politics, German migr Karl Otten described
the underground leadership's ability "to perpetuate itself, and to render itself
immortal, through its innermost core, the brains of a bellicose nation's
brains ... in anonymity, [residing in] unknown places, secluded from the
world, controlling politics no less than operations in the field."
The Nazis were created by the world oligarchy for war, turned out in Gnostic
vestments. German terrorist units actually referred to themselves as "The
Death's Heads," and were known to commit ritualistic murder. "The roots of
the Nazi Party were buried in hidden places," said Hitler's friend Hermann
Rauschning. The Nazis were covert operators, not to be confused with the
German military; one fought an underground war, the other waged a Blitz.
Hitler's bloodless covert warriors did not wither into dust after the military
was defeated. Fascism survived and flourished.
In August, 1945 the U.S. argued for, and succeeded in disbanding, the UN
War Crimes Commission in favour of the Nuremburg Tribunal. The architect
of Nuremburg was Henry Stimson, a Yale "Bones" man, former secretary of
state under Herbert Hoover. Stimson, a vocal atom bomb proponent,
suggested it be used against Japan and every wheel and cog in government
went into motion to accommodate him.
At Nuremburg, he fell back on a strategy that would become the staple of
Congressional hearings - narrowing the scope of the investigation. "With the
judgment at Nuremburg," wrote Stimson for Foreign Relations in January,
1947 [published by the Council of Foreign Relations, a public disinformation
bureau], "we at least reach to the core of international strife."
Articulate, smooth, disingenuous words.
Stimson's tribunal reached to "the core of the strife," but the "penalty" for
participation in genocide was hardly severe. The directors of I.G. Farben, the
economic and industrial sponsors of the Nazi party, and Krupp, the principal
supplier of munitions, were tried for making war in violation of the BriandKellogg Treaty, and were led through a revolving door - it couldn't be "proven
beyond a doubt" their intent was "aggressive," as stipulated by the treaty.
Upon their release, the directors of Krupp and Farben immediately went on to
exchange Nazi gold for Swiss notes on the sly.
They hid reserves away for the next phase of the war. All I.G. Farben
facilities were left standing by American bombers on strict order from
Washington. To smooth the path to corporate growth, General Patton

stepped in and - in violation of the Postdate Agreement, which specifically

called for the dismantling of Farben - reorganized the company and promoted
many of its former mid-level executives. For every Nazi convicted at
Nuremberg, four were released. Stimson's Catch 22 demanded that it be
proven the culprits had shaped war policy. With "Judgment at Nuremberg"
constricted by such reasoning, it was hardly surprising that the first trial
ended with the conviction of a dozen Nazis from a pool of 22. For the next
trial, the definitions of intent and authority were constricted even further,
and 49 of the 52 leading German officers and industrialists were set free.
Dr. Robert Kempner, who might be described as an early "conspiracy
theorist," wrote that with few exceptions, "the other SS leaders convicted at
Nuremberg on charges of murder have been prematurely pardoned and
freed, as a result of strong pressure by certain, partly still anonymous
Hintermnner [sponsors]."
In June 1949 jurisdiction over the war criminals was handed to High
Commissioner John McCloy, a hard-core "anti-Nazi." His attitude underwent a
drastic change in closed sessions, however. McCloy's secret Clemency Board
reduced the sentences of all but the most intractable SS. Nearly a third were
released for "good behavior" at the behest of the General German Staff.
Others were granted amnesty by the thousands. A year later, Jim Martin, a
Defense Department investigator, traveled to Germany to track down
Gerhard Westrick, the CEO of ITT in Germany and already a mover in the
formation of the Fourth Reich.
Westrick had fled the Berlin bombing and took refuge in a castle to the south.
By post he appealed for help from his Army cronies, who smuggled him to
Paris to apprise Colonel Alex Sanders of the condition of ITT's German
holdings. Westrick received a token prison sentence and was released.
Hermann Abs, one of Hitler's principal financial backers, was employed as a
consultant in the British zone for the Deutsche Bank.
The emerging order was merely a reorganization of the old. Anyone who
caught on was ignored, or if they went public, were tarred by government
officials as "Communists," including Dexter White and Lauchlin Currie of the
Treasury Department. White and Currie were investigating financial dealings
with Germany throughout the course of the war by Standard Oil, Chase and
National City Banks, the Morgan family, ITT, Ford and GM, among others.
The careers of both investigators were wiped out by the McCarthy hearings,
and they were effectively silenced. Telford Taylor, chief counsel at
Nuremberg, saw the proceedings for what they were. He was beside himself
that the most powerful Nazis were acquitted on technicalities. "Murder,
maiming, enslavement, ravage and plunder are a familiar litany," he wrote in
1970. What was unique about the Nazi conquests, especially in Eastern

Europe, he said, "was the enormous scope of the atrocities and the
systematic planning and meticulous execution of these hideous enterprises."
[ ... ]

DEUTSCHE BANK
Under the direction of Dr Herman Josef Abs (who never became a Nazi)
the bank was responsible for financing the slave labour used by business
giants such as Siemens, BMW, Volkswagen, I.G. Farben, Daimler Benz
and others. The banks wealth quadrupled during the twelve years of
Hitler's rule. Arrested by the British after the war for war crimes, he was
quietly released after the intervention of the Bank of England to help
restore the German banking industry in the British zone This caused
much dissension between the British and the Americans who wanted the
German Economy crushed. Later, he became financial advisor to the first
West German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer. Herman Abs died in 1994.

In the final months of his administration, President Jimmy Carter accused South
Africa's apartheid government of having tested an atom bomb in the Indian
Ocean. German and American newspaper reporters quickly uncovered - in spite
of Praetoria's denials - a tapestry of corporations and dummy corporations that
clearly led back to West Germany's Bundeswehr, and to a multitude of personnel
and military officers with ties to the Third Reich. The goal was clear: The Federal
Republic was supplying massive technological assistance to South Africa (and to
Israel as it turned out) in the areas of uranium enrichment and plutonium
transmutation via centrifuges and other processes, in return for which uraniumrich South Africa bartered the raw atomic fuel itself. Germany could thus fulfill
its postwar treaty obligations by not developing or deploying atomic, biological,
or chemical weapons on German soil, while at the same time using South Africa
to construct and test a bomb of essentially German design. [The often
overlooked story of the West German bomb and its very secret development was
covered in the New York Times book by Zdenek Cervenka and Barbara Rogers,
The Nuclear Axis: the Secret Collaboration Between West Germany and South
Africa]
If it all sounds familiar, it is, for after World War One, Germany side-stepped the
Versailles treaty -which forbade the Germans possession of tanks, aircraft, and
heavy artillery beyond a certain caliber - by concluding a secret protocol in the
Rapallo treaty with the other pariah of the day, the Soviet Union. Thus, as early
as 1922, German officers were training in tank warfare in the Soviet Union with

their Russian counterparts, among them the future Colonel-General Guderian

who would lead the Second Panzer Army during Operation Barbarossa to the
very gates of Moscow.
In yet another important study [Leonard Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H.,
Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola: Nature, Accident, or Intentional?]
challenging the standard assumptions of the origin and transmission vector of
the human AIDS virus and the history of the discovery of HIV, Dr. Leonard G.
Horowitz makes a solid case for its genesis within secret American biological
warfare research at Fort Detrick, Maryland. But there is more to Horowitz's
investigations than this, for there is a German connection lurking deep in the
background, and once again, it goes back to Bormann and presages the 1944
Rotes Haus meeting in Strasbourg:
In the Spring of 1944, Merck and Company, Inc. received a large cash infusion
from Martin Bormann.... This at the time Merck's president, George W. Merck,
was advising President Roosevelt, and initiating strategies, as America's
biological weapons industry director. According to CBS News correspondent Paul
Manning, the lion's share of the Nazi gold went to 750 corporations, largely
including Merck, to secure a virtual monopoly over the world's chemical and
pharmaceutical industries. This was done not only for Germany's economic
recovery, but to assure the rise of "The Fourth Reich.'
Merck, then, along with Rockefeller partner I.G. Farben, received huge sums of
money from the Nazi war chest to actualize Hitler's proclaimed 'vision of a
thousand-year Third Reich (and) world empire. This was outlined with clarity in a
document called 'Neuordnung,' or 'New Order,' that was accompanied by a letter
of transmittal to the (Bormann led) Ministry of Economics. 'Bury your treasure,'
Hitler advised Bormann, 'for you will need it to begin a Fourth Reich.'
Bormann apparently ignored his Fhrer, and in a momentary burst of
Christianity, heeded Christ by not burying his treasure, but investing and
increasing it.
In any case, as late as 1988, as the Soviet Union was nearing its collapse,
Russian premier Mikhail Gorbachev appeared to be trying to point a finger of
blame for the AIDS epidemic in Africa in Germany's direction. Via Russian
diplomatic channels and contacts in the former Belgian Congo, now Zaire, the
Russian government had learned of a Zairean physician who had formerly
worked for the West German OTRAG Corporation, or Orbital Transport and
Missiles, AG. This doctor's OTRAG laboratory had been tasked with isolating
viruses from the African green monkey that were capable of such rapid
reproduction that it could destabilize the human immune system. The
laboratory's assignment was to develop a mutant strain "that would be a human
killer," since the green monkey variety was harmless to humans.

Page 8 of 26

But it is really the OTRAG establishment in Zaire that is itself of the greatest
interest, for it fits the pattern of postwar SS relationships with South American
governments and false from corporations. OTRAG was granted a lease by the
Mobutu government to 29,000 square miles of Zaire, a lease that gave OTRAG
"complete sovereignty and control over the area." What was the purpose of this
land? Ostensibly, it was to develop and test there cheap satellite launch
capability for private industry, an application with obvious military overtones. In
other words, what one has with the OTRAG-Zaire enclave is something like an
Area 51, but owned by a private corporation. The enclave is nothing less than a
testing facility for missiles and laboratories for biological, and presumably other
types of weapons development.
According to the German Information Service of South Africa, OTRAG executives
included former Nazis, some from the wartime V2 rocket project. This in itself
should give one pause, for it indicates that German rocket research was
continued, not just by former Nazis working for Von Braun's NASA in the USA, or
building massive boosters for Korolev in the Soviet Union, but also for West
Germany itself! Moreover, OTRAG's shares were subsidized by the West German
government, Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's denials notwithstanding. Finally, it is a
clear indication that OTRAG's purpose and goals were not simply to contrive
cheap satellite launch capability, Penthouse magazine ran an expose of the
German company, disclosing its ties to the Dornier and Messerschmitt-BelkowBlohm aerospace and armaments firms which were quietly developing and
testing German cruise missiles on OTRAG's Zaire range, with the aid of cruise
missile technology provided to them by the American Boeing Corporation.17
Dornier and Messerschmitt were, of course, clearly tied to the Third Reich's war
machine and had deep ties to its black projects.

Carter Hydrick theorized that it was none other than Martin Bormann who
arranged the surrender of the U-234 and its precious cargo of enriched uranium,
infrared proximity fuses, heavy water, and possibly even atom bomb designs or
an actual functioning atom bomb to the United States. [It should be noted that
Hydrick does not maintain that the Nazis were successful in building and
successfully testing an atom bomb during the war, much less of trying to
transport blueprints or a functioning model to the Japanese in the U-234. Robert
Wilcox in his Japan's Secret War, presents evidence that the Japanese
successfully tested a bomb shortly after the bombing of Nagasaki. An infusion of
actual bomb designs to the Japanese by the Germans late in the war might
account for their relatively quick ability to develop and test a weapon under such
difficult circumstances as the Japanese economy and military were in at the end
of the war. However, it should also be noted that the Japanese had
independently designed their own workable bomb along similar lines as existing

German designs, as well as along the lines employed in the Little Boy Hiroshima
bomb.]
Recent research by Nick Cook would tend to corroborate Bormann's role in, and
therefore probable accurate knowledge of, the full scope and extent of
Kammler's secret black projects empire. Bormann's position as controller of Nazi
Party finances as well as of Hitler 's estate would have given him control over
yet another source of funding for these projects, a source completely
independent of the state.
It is in this total context both of Carter Hydrick's meticulous research, as well as
of Bormann's own Rotes Haus plan for Nazi survival, that we may place
Bormann's 1945 establishment of a special SS evacuation Kommando, an act
that placed jurisdiction over the Ju 290 four engine and Ju 390 six engine heavylift ultra long range air transport of Luftwaffe Kampfgeschwader 200 under the
direct control of none other than SS General Hans Kammler. The intention is
clear: as much of the actual research files and equipment of the Kammlerstab as
could be evacuated from Germany for destinations unknown was to be handled
by Kammler personally. This special evacuation command held these aircraft in
readiness near Lower Silesia in late 1945. By this point, Kammler's power,
backed by the Reichsleiter himself, was so great that he could refuse a request
by Reichsfhrer SS Himmler for the use of one of these aircraft.
Kammler, "with such aircraft at his disposal" would have been able to fly a large
cargo of "documents, personnel and technology pretty much anywhere" that he
wanted to. "Spain, South America - Argentina even -would have represented no
problem to such a long-range platform." Cook himself quips, "What was the
point of chasing Kammler, if he'd already shipped everything out?" This
revelation, coming late in the story of research into Nazi Secret Weapons and
the Nazi UFO Legend, gives a clear indication that more than just money,
bullion, gems, art treasures or personnel were involved in Bormann's survival
plan. Clearly, Bormann meant to preserve and continue the research already
under way in the Reich by transplanting the technology and continuing its
development elsewhere, either under independent Nazi control - as the various
"survival" myths maintain
If Carter Hydrick is correct that it was Bormann's intention to surrender the bulk
of this technology to the United States - and I believe he is - then this puts
Himmler's last ditch and clumsy efforts to negotiate a separate peace with the
Western Allies via Sweden into a new light. Himmler was perhaps offering them
the vast cache of secrets he thought he controlled through Kammler's "think
tank." It is very possible that the American intelligence community already knew
of this treasure trove via their SS contacts through Allen Dulles and SS General
Wolff, and had made "other arrangements" that included neither Himmler nor
the British. Thus, by the time of Kammler's refusal to his SS boss to allow him

http://greyfalcon.us/restored/THE%20PHOENIX%20RISES.htm

4/14/2015

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 10 of 26

the use of a Ju 290 or Ju 390, effective control and disposition of the SS black
projects had slipped from Himmler's hands and into Bormann's. Himmler could
neither surrender nor even barter for his life, because he had nothing left with
which to bargain. Kammler, and Bormann, however, had a great deal to offer
the Americans in exchange for their lives.
Paperclip, Compartmentalization, and Capitalization
According to Nick Cook, Operation Paperclip, the covert project to bring former
Nazi scientists and engineers to the United States to work on America's own
aerospace and military black projects after the war, was the primary beneficiary
of the Kammlerstab's think tank secrets, blueprints, and patents. "The state
within a state had been transported four thousand miles to the west and
somehow, I just knew, Kammler had come with it. The intuitive feeling I'd
experienced in all these years in obscure corners of the US aerospace and
defence industry had suddenly acquired a face."
But an important question remains to be answered here. Could these Nazis have
continued their lines of research quasi- independently, even while ostensibly
working for the US military? Could they have again reconstituted themselves as
a similar "state within a state," a black projects coordination office within the
structures otherwise nominally under the control, of the American government
and military?
Clearly, it would be difficult, especially if there were no means of independent
financing of these projects, altogether apart from the US government's own
"black budget." But we have already seen that a crucial component of Bormann's
postwar survival and resuscitation plan was capitalization. Three conduits in
particular were often utilized by O.D.E.S.S.A and other postwar Nazi secret
organizations: (1) drugs and thereby organized crime, (2) the Church, i.e.,
various "ministries" within Protestantism and diverse religious orders and
congregations within the Roman Catholic Church, and (3) false corporate fronts
and dummy corporations, holding companies, and banking institutions. The
United State, particularly in the last few decades, seems to have been a fertile
ground for all three types of activity, at least in general terms.
As for maintaining the secrecy of such an independent and "occulted" entity, this
is a solved problem, for the Manhattan Project was just such an entity, with only
a very few at the highest echelons of its myriad compartmentalized "need-toknow" departments possessing the whole picture. In the postwar atmosphere,
particularly with the Cold War ensuing, it may actually have been quite easy to
accomplish. With US government defense contracts and black projects run
increasingly on a cost-plus basis, all expenses for such research was funded,
with an addition margin tacked on for corporate profit. This, added to the other
genuinely off-the-books funding that Bormann and the SS envisioned, would
have supplied twin sources of funding of almost limitless wealth.

4/14/2015

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 11 of 26

But the most important consideration with respect to this question is the fact
that the very classification and compartmentalization of black projects would
itself operate as a favorable environment to run an "unofficial" black project
within an "official" one. With projects split over several locations, its needed
technologies farmed out to various companies, various departments of
government, and coordinated from some secret center, it would seem a
relatively easy, rather than difficult, thing to do.
The Nazi Party had been constituted, from its early secret society beginnings,
and up until the very day of the German capitulation, as a state within a state.
Within that structure, Himmler had constituted the SS as a state within the state
within the state. And within that Kammler had assembled and coordinated a vast
machinery of horror and weapons research that lived, parasitically, on the body
of its host, the SS and the Party, themselves murderous parasites living off the
misery of Germany and Europe. Kammler had done it once, and may very well
have done it again, "with a little help from his friends." Perhaps President Dwight
Eisenhower, when he warned of the morally and spiritually corrupting dangers of
the military-industrial complex, had in mind a phenomenon that was not so
much home-grown, as much as one that had been transplanted.
That Germany lost the Second World War is not in doubt. That Germans suffered
as a result is obvious. Some suffered more than others. The rich suffered least.
Few were surprised. That is the way of suffering, war or peace. The Poles, the
French, the Belgians, the Dutch, the Serbs, et. al., and especially the Russians
certainly suffered while they were losing. Then the tide turned. This is the way of
war. Tides turn. Winning now is no guarantee against losing later. Somebody
always loses eventually. Civilians start losing on day one.
The Wehrmacht lost the war. The Luftwaffe lost the war. The civilians lost the
war. The Nazis, however, did not lose the war. The Nazis got away.
It is true that a tiny minority of individual Nazis lost the war. Gbbels, Gring,
Kaltenbrunner, and the man claiming to be Hess lost the war. Perhaps it is even
true that Hitler and Himmler lost the war as well, though forensic evidence to
the effect is notably scant.
The Nazi Party and the S.S., as organizations, got away intact. They got away
with the money, the Reichsbank treasury, $15,000,000,000 in 1945 money. This
included the tooth gold. Guinness calls it the world's largest unsolved robbery.
Then there was all the stolen art, pieces of which, to this day, occasionally
surface. The Nazis did very well in the war, from a business viewpoint. War is a
business. It is fought for material gain. The Nazis gained materially, and lived to
spend it thus, they won the war. They did not win as much as they wanted to
win, but who does? They did win a great deal. What they lost was territory.
What they gained was treasure, new friends, and experience.

The treasure included a couple of U-boats full of bearer bonds, numbered stock
shares and patent certificates.
This represented:
... the hard core of Nazi wealth in Latin America. In 1944 a great treasure had
been sent secretly across the Atlantic, the famous 'Bormann treasure.' Toward
the end of 1943, Bormann gave orders for Aktion Feuerland "Operation Land of
Fire" to begin. This operation involved the transport from Germany to Argentina
of several tons of gold, some securities, shares, and works of art ...
... Several U-boats arrived in Argentine waters after the capitulation of
Germany. They were the carriers of bundles of documents, industrial patents,
and securities. On July 10, 1945, the U-530 surfaced at the mouth of the River
Platte and entered the port of La Plata. The following month, on August 17, the
U-977 also arrived at La Plata. In accordance with international conventions,
both U-boats were interned by Argentina and later handed over to the United
States authorities.
~The Avengers, by Michael Bar-Zohar, Hawthorn Books, 1967, p 101
To the surprise of few, they were found to be empty of treasure.
Two more U-boats, according to reliable sources, appeared off an uninhabited
stretch of the coast of Patagonia between July 23, and 29, 1945.
~Ibid., p. 101
In occupied Germany one could neither vote with these shares nor could one
collect interest, dividends, nor royalties. When (West) Germany again "took its
place among the nations of the World" in 1955, the Bundestag immediately
changed all this. The holders of these once worthless scraps of paper suddenly,
once again, possessed incredibly wealth.
Consider the case of I.G. Farben:
David M. Nichol, of the Chicago Daily News Foreign Service, writing in 1947,
observed:
The trial of I.G. Farben's leading officials for war crimes is like Topsy. It just
'growed.' It is still growing.

Some of the more starry-eyed in Nuernberg and throughout the world would like
to see it as a crusade against "monopoly" and "big business." Others, including
Farben's 24 crotchety and dyspeptic executives in the dock, believe it is purely
persecution... .
.. No trial at all was planned in the beginning... .
... Investigating teams were interested in German finances, as such, in the
possible sources of reparations for Nazi damages to other countries, and in
tracing as much as possible of the loot that the Germans had concealed outside
their borders.
Not the least of their interests was Farben's huge headquarters building in
Frankfurt. Almost undamaged by bombs and fighting, it has served as the
administration center for American occupation forces ever since... .
... German Army headquarters had ordered Farben's records destroyed. Many of
them were. One official has compiled from memory a list of the most important
ones he burned. It runs 14 pages of single space typing... ... A handful of
officials, were held for detailed but routine questioning... . One of them in
particular, 63-year-old Georg von Schnitzler, one time head of Farben's entire
sales organization ... began to 'talk.' From Farben's standpoint, the damage was
done... .
... Justice Robert W. Jackson, United States prosecutor for the original Nrnbrg
trial against Gring and his mates felt industry was heavily involved in the crime
with which the Nazi leaders were charged.
He proposed at first to include one Farben official among the defendants. But the
case against Farben was so complex in itself that it might have overshadowed
the more general charges. Gustav Krupp Von Bohlen und Halbach, Germany's
gun maker for a half century was indicted instead.
But the aging Krupp upset the plans by taking so seriously ill that he could not
be tried. An unsuccessful move was made to substitute his son. In the end, big
business went unrepresented before the international tribunal, except indirectly
through Hitler's financial wizard, Hjalmar Schacht. And Schacht was acquitted...
.
... Meantime, the Farben officials themselves can't believe it has happened.
They've been accustomed too long to dictating even to the Nazis... .
... Their American friends haven't come so far, except by mail. Letters are
delivered in prison, but they go through regular censorship channels. In an effort
to avoid this, some had been sent to prison officials through APO numbers, but
these have been returned.

I.G. Farben was broken up (on paper) into nine companies: the Big Three
(Bayer, BASF, Hoechst) and nine smaller firms, including Agfa, Kalle, Casella,
and Huels. Those in Allied countries who demanded the dissolution of I.G. 'as
one means of ensuring world peace' were bitterly disappointed.
The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben, by Joseph Borkin, The Free Press, A
Division of Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1978, p 160
When these firms, still owned and controlled by the same families, organizations
and in many cases the same individuals, are considered as a whole, I.G. Farben
is bigger and more powerful than ever.
Corporate camouflage, the art of concealing foreign properties from enemy
governments, has a special place in the history of I.G. Farben. Unlike I.G.'s
involvement in mass murder and slave labor, which was a wartime aberration,
I.G.'s program of camouflage long predated and outlived the war. Its political
effects will persist for years to come.
~Ibid., p 164
In German they call this Tarnung, the magic hood that renders its wearer
invisible. Camouflage really does work. It's still working.
Consider the case of party member Hermann Schmitz, who became the
chairman of Farben's managing board in 1935.
It is a good bet that if Hermann Schmitz were alive today he would bear witness
as to who really won. Schmitz died contented, having witnessed the resurgence
of I.G. Farben, albeit in altered corporate forms, a money machine that
continues to generate profits for all the old I.G. shareholders and enormous
international power for the German cadre directing the workings of the successor
firms. To all appearances he died in relatively reduced circumstances, in 1960,
at the age of seventy-nine, though immensely wealthy during his lifetime. Any
information about his fortune seemingly vanished with his death; but those who
knew him believe it still exists. He was the master manipulator, the corporate
and financial wizard, the magician who could make money appear and
disappear, and reappear again.
... Schmitz's wealth largely I.G. Farben bearer bonds converted to the Big Three
successor firms, shares in Standard Oil of New Jersey (equal to those held by
the Rockefellers), General Motors, and other U.S. blue chip industrial stocks, and
the 700 secret companies controlled in his time by I.G., as well as shares in the
750 corporations he helped Bormann establish during the last year of World War
II has increased in all segments of the modern industrial world. The Bormann
organization in South America utilizes the voting power of the Schmitz trust

along with their own assets to guide the multinationals they control, as they
keep steady the economic course of the Fatherland.
... the resurgence of West Germany was due to hard work by its people,
assistance from the Marshall Plan, an infusion of buying orders from the United
States military establishment during the Korean War, and a(n) ... economic
policy that enabled business and industry to wheel and deal in world markets
and come up with profits ... Allowing business to have its head was, to go back,
the formula adopted by Hitler during the 1930s; he harnessed the people
instead of nationalizing industry ...
Martin Bormann, Nazi in Exile, by Paul Manning, Lyle Stuart, 1981, pp.
280-281
It is also true that the resurgence of West Germany was financed in part by Nazi
blood money, some of it looted with pliers from the mouths of its rightful
owners.
It is easy and profitable to blame a dead, "crazy" man for one's mistakes and
crimes. Consider, for example, the enormous mileage the Contras and their
friends got out of CIA chief Bill Casey's convenient demise. Hitler has assumed
mythic proportions since his death. In life, he was mainly a front man, a
mouthpiece, a lightning rod, and above all, the Nazi's "great communicator."
While the masses worshipped him like a god, his friends plotted behind his back,
used him as a cat's paw and scapegoat, and (perhaps) cynically sacrificed him to
save their own skins and fortune. Hitler had cleverly parlayed his position as
figurehead into control over the military by rewording the soldiers oath.
However, military power has always been subordinate to economic power, if for
no other reason than because lead cannot be mined with bayonets. The purse
strings of the Nazi Party were controlled by Bormann, and Bormann got away.
So did the purse.
... the alleged Bormann skull is that of a grisly stand-in a substitute ...
.. Substituting one body for another has been a ploy much used by General
Heinrich Mller of the Gestapo. It was he who coordinated the details of
Bormann's disappearance.~Ibid
When Mller's grave was exhumed by court order in 1963, the grave held three
skeletons, none of which even remotely resembled Mller's short stature and
high forehead.
... it was Mr. Brandt and his government that provided Martin Bormann
with what amounted to a 'passport to freedom' in 1973 by stating that the
former Hitler aide had perished in Berlin in 1945.

http://greyfalcon.us/restored/THE%20PHOENIX%20RISES.htm

4/14/2015

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 16 of 26

~Ibid, p 227
Bormann had help from his friends. Consider, if you will, Herman Abs:
While Germany's bankers were collectively responsible for the financing of
Hitler's war effort, the dean of them all is Herman Josef Abs. Money was his life,
and his astuteness in banking and international financial manipulations enabled
Deutsche Bank to serve as leader in fuelling the ambitions and accomplishments
of Adolf Hitler and Martin Bormann. His dominance was retained when the
Federal Republic of Germany picked itself up from the ashes; he was still there
as chairman of Deutsche Bank, director of I.G Farben, and of such others as
Daimler-Benz and the giant electrical conglomerate, Siemans. Abs became a
financial advisor to the first West German chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, and was
a welcome visitor in the Federal Chancellery under Mr. Adenauer's successors,
Ludwig Erhard and Kurt George Kiesinger ... ... (Bormann's) friendship with Dr.
Herman Josef Abs predated Abs's move into the management of Deutsche Bank.
Dr. Abs had been a partner in the prestigious private bank of Delbruck, Schickler
& Co. in Berlin. Recalling those days, Abs has written:
'The Reich Chancellery in Berlin was its largest account, and it was through this
account that Adolf Hitler received his salary as Chancellor of the Reich.'
... Reichsleiter Bormann knew that his relationship with Abs would tighten as his
own power grew ... He knew in 1943 that with his Nazi banking committee well
established, he had the means to ... set new Nazi state policy when the time was
ripe for the general transfer of capital, gold, stocks, and bearer bonds to safety
in neutral nations.
~Ibid, p 87
History has largely ignored bankers in favour of other subjects. History, and
those who write it (and their masters) apparently want us to think politicians
and generals are more important to the state. Bankers, of course, feel
differently. They tend, and not with out reason, to be as furtive as much as
possible. While we are cheering the politicians and saluting the generals, we are
not noticing the bankers, who are picking our pockets. This suits the bankers'
ends, thus history slants their relative importance.
Baron Kurt von Schrder, a well-known banker ... and economic advisor to
Bormann's economic committee, commented that Dr. Herman Josef Abs,
chairman of Deutsche Bank, was particularly important to the government of the
Third Reich.
His influence was mainly with the Reichsbank and with the Ministry of
Economics. Abs proved very valuable to the party and to the government by
using his bank to assist the government in doing business in the occupied

http://greyfalcon.us/restored/THE%20PHOENIX%20RISES.htm

4/14/2015

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 17 of 26

countries and other foreign countries. Abs enjoyed excellent relations with
Walther Funk, who was both president of the Reichsbank and head of the
Ministry of Economics ...
... Branch managers of Deutsche Bank were to a man members of the party ...
~Ibid., p 69
This is the same Hermann Abs who was chosen by Pope John Paul II to oversee
the reorganization of the Vatican Bank when it was caught red-handed
laundering counterfeit securities and heroin profits for the Gambino crime family.
It is worth noting that in his youth J.P. II was, according to the official version,
once a slave labourer for I.G. Solvay, a Farben subsidiary specializing primarily
in pharmaceuticals. He is supposed to have laboured in the Solvay quarries near
Auschwitz. It's a rare slave indeed who becomes pope at all, let alone then hires
his former master to keep track of his money. Wonders truly never cease.

...from Milton William Cooper's Behold a Pale Horse:

In the early 1940's the I G Farben Chemical Company employed a Polish
salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz. The same
salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison gas.
This same cyanide gas, along with Zyklon B and Malathion, were used to
exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. their bodies were then burned
to ashes in the ovens.
After the war, the salesman fearing for his life joined the Catholic Church and
was ordained as a priest in 1946. One of his closest friends was Dr. Wolf
Szmunes - the mastermind behind the Nov. '78 to Oct. '79 and Mar. '80 to
Oct. '81 experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Centre for
Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities,
that loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people.
The salesman was ordained Poland's youngest Bishop in 1958. After a thirty
day reign, his predecessor was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas
salesman assumed the Papacy as Pope John Paul II.
It is equally worthy of note that despite the name, dyes alone were not the
source of the wealth upon which I.G. Farben was founded. Pharmaceuticals
played a major rule.
In 1898 ... the Bayer Company ... began mass production of diacetylmorphine
and coined the trade name heroin to market the new remedy ... Bayer described

heroin as a non-addictive panacea for adult ailments and infant respiratory

diseases...
... During the late nineteenth century, the same manufacture also promoted
another narcotic, cocaine.
~The Politics of Heroin in South East Asia, by Alfred McCoy, Lawrence Hill
Books, 1972, p 5-6
If one overlooks its narrow threshold to LD50 range, its price, and its addictive
properties, heroin does indeed make a dandy cough remedy. It is the only
known cure for the common cold. In the long run, though, you're better off with
the cold. Cocaine is totally useless.
In October 1978 the Marshall Foundation was utilized as a platform for Dr.
Herman J. Abs, now honorary president of Deutsche Bank A.G. as he addressed
a meeting of businessmen and Bankers and members of the Foreign Policy
Association in New York City on the 'Problems and Prospects of AmericanGerman Economic Co-operation.' This luncheon was chaired by his old friend,
John J. McCloy, Wall Street banker and lawyer, who had worked closely with Dr.
Abs when McCloy served as U.S. High Commissioner for Germany during those
postwar reconstruction years. At that time, Hermann Abs, as chief executive of
Deutsche Bank was also directing the spending of America's Marshall Plan money
in West Germany as the chairman of the Reconstruction Loan Corporation of the
Federal Republic of Germany.
~Manning, p 261
This is the same McCloy who designed the Pentagon building and served on the
Warren Commission. While Undersecretary of War, he had forbidden bombing of
the rail lines to Auschwitz on the grounds that it might provoke retaliation
against the Jews. One cannot but wonder what he had in mind.
Auschwitz was intended, first and foremost, to be a synthetic rubber and
synthetic fuel factory complex. The more well-known dead Jews were to be
merely a by-product. Abs had arranged the financing of its construction. In
charge of synthetic rubber production was Otto Ambros, who also developed the
root technology on which magnetic data storage is based. He was convicted of
25,000 counts of slavery and mass murder, and was sentenced to eight years in
prison. After three and a half years, McCloy freed him. The head of the W.R.
Grace & Co., J. Peter Grace (a Knight of Malta) hired Ambros as a research
chemist and petitioned Congress to allow his emigration to the United States.
This is the same J. Peter Grace who President Reagan appointed to head the socalled "Grace Commission" to make the United States government more
"efficient."

Grace: 'I admire Ambros integrity.'

~Esquire, 12/19/78
Hermann Schmitz's nephew, Robert was employed by W.R. Grace & Co. in the
early 1950s to help in its plans for diversification. W.R. Grace paid alleged
cocaine dealer John DeLorean $25,000 a month as a consultant. Delorean
advised W.R. to invest in a luxury RV project. Grace is reported to have dropped
a $1,000,000 on the project. The RV never materialized.
Companies are known by the people they keep.
The Assistant Secretary of War, until 1940 was a member of the law firm of
Cravath, de Gersdorff, Swain & Wood, which firm ... had been representing I.G.
Farben or its affiliates in the United States. It may appear to be a coincidence
that Mr. McCloy should have turned up in the War Department in 1941 in a
position in which he could speak with authority on such matters as handling the
destruction of that mainstay of Germany's war potential I.G. Farben.
~Treason's Peace, by Howard Watson Armbruster, Beechurst Press, New
York, 1947, p 386
Consider the Flicks:
Friedrich Flick, the Howard Hughes of West Germany's mighty postwar
industrialists, was a man of few public words. But when he spoke people
remembered.
Defending his financial support of the Nazi party at the Nuremberg war-crime
trials, Mr. Flick uttered one of the most quoted statements of the day: 'I was of
the opinion necessarily, that political insurance would not do me any harm.' And
hardly any of the men who worked for him could ever forget Mr. Flick's guiding
business motto: 'Either change the numbers or the faces.'
The one paying the closest attention to the words of 'the old gentleman' was his
son, Friedrich Flick, who has been adhering to every letter of those precepts
since taking over this country's largest family-owned concern after his father
died in 1972. Friedrich Karl dared to make one change replacing the picture of
Bismarck that had hung in his father's office with a portrait of Dad himself but
otherwise it has been pretty much like father, like son... .
... The son's most audacious move was to sell a 29 percent stake in DaimlerBenz AG, the maker of Mercedes cars, to Deutsche Bank in 1975 for $789.77
million, which amounted to a huge capital gain of $714.55 million on what his
father had paid for 40 percent of Daimler stock in the early 1950s.

Page 20 of 26

Under West German law, the profit from the Daimler transaction would have
normally been taxed at a rate of 56 percent unless Flick reinvested the money
before the end of 1978 in projects judged by the government to be 'especially
beneficial to the national economy.' Mr. Flick went on a rapid spending spree,
and although more than half the money flowed into the U.S., including some
$400 million for a 29 percent stake in W.R. Grace & Co. of New York, the West
German Economics Ministry granted tax-exempt status to all but a fraction of
the new investments.
~The Wall Street Journal, 9/21/83
Then there are the Thyssens.
... the Thyssen family learned the facts of corporate life at an early age. Count
Fredrico Zichy-Thyssen acquired his knowledge from grandfather Fritz Thyssen;
his cousin Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza acquired similar corporate
wisdom from his father, old Fritz's brother, Heinrich Thyssen. The latter became
Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza and took up residence in Lugano,
Switzerland, gaining Swiss citizenship. As Count Zichy represents the largest
shareholder group in Thyssen A.G. From his home in Buenos Aires, the young
baron directs his interest from his Villa Favorita in Lugano.
One such holding in the United States is Indian Head Inc., with American
corporate headquarters at 1200 Avenue of the Americas, New York City. Thyssen
Inc. has its U.S. offices farther down this avenue at number 1114, in the W.R.
Grace & Co. building. Indian Head is a wide-ranging manufacturing
conglomerate, with 42 plants in the United States and 10,400 employees. It
enjoys annual net sales of close to $604 million. For an industrial corporation of
such size it has a remarkably low profile. It distributes no annual report 'We are
a privately held corporation.' Like Thyssen Inc. in the United States it has no
background ownership file with the SEC because it has never had to go public.
When Thyssen bought Budd Manufacturing for $275 million, it was in cash, and
there was no requirement for corporate disclosures to the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Still, good will is cherished, and German industrials and bankers continue to
strive to project a friendly German image in the United States. One noteworthy
announcement, made from Washington, D.C., in March 1979 was that 57
priceless Old Masters paintings from the collection of Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza
would be taken on a tour of the United States in 1979 and 1980. This collection
of great masterworks is said to be except for the Royal Collection of the queen of
England the greatest private art collection now in existence. This public traveling
exhibit constituted a major achievement as a public relations ploy. Ever
cautious, however, no German firm underwrote the tour: Indian Head kept out
of the picture. Instead, a major U.S. corporation was chosen to underwrite the
masterworks tour, United Technologies of Hartford, Connecticut (152,000
employees, 200 plants, and a worldwide marketing operation in power, flight

systems, industrial products and services), agreed to underwrite the cost of the
venture as a favour to its German friend in Lugano, Switzerland. The project was
initiated from Lugano; the baron, after consulting with his corporate image
advisors, agreed to United Technologies rather than Indian Head with its hidden
shareholders. The foundation that made all the arrangements was another
privately endowed, non-profit organization, International Exhibitions Foundation.
It made the approach to United Technologies and also brought aboard the
prestigious Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Federal Council on the Arts
and Humanities.
~Manning, p 263
The Mellons, Morgans and DuPonts have been a close-knit financial axis for
generations. In 1936, they attempted to finance a coup d'etat in America. The
plot was foiled by retired Marine Corps commandant Smedley Butler whom they
had approached as a potential front man, offering to make him the "American
Mussolini." He snitched them out to F.D.R. Though congressional hearings were
held, nobody hung, and some of the testimony was suppressed for years. They
had the right friends. Money might not buy happiness, but it sure as hell does
buy friends.
For a revealing account of the '36 coup attempt read The Plot to Steal the White
House, by Jules Archer. For a contemporary's account of the testimony
suppression, see: Facts and Fascism , by George Seldes, In Fact, Inc., 1943, pp.
111-114.
... in June 1943 antitrust again went into action against Farben with a lengthy
indictment of National Lead Company, Titan Company and du Pont, along with
four of their officers, for having engaged in a world-wide cartel conspiracy with
I.G. Farben and some twenty other foreign companies to restrain the production
and distribution of titanium and titanium compounds. These pigments for the
manufacture of paints, rubber, glass, paper, and other articles are important in
peace and are strategic war materials... .
... the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore, representing du Pont ...
~Armbruster, p 345
Coincidence? Perhaps.
... the J. Henry Schroder bank acted as financial agent for the Nazi
Government just prior to the start of the war and also was reported to be
a financial backer for one of the firms in Farben's international nitrogen
cartel; also the London Schrder had close business and family ties with
the notorious General Kurt von Schroeder, of the Stein Bank of Cologne,
Germany, that particular member of the Schroeder clan having been one

4/14/2015

Page 22 of 26

of the strongest financial links between Hitler and his Farben industrial
backers.
By another coincidence, Sullivan & Cromwell, the law firm of John Foster Dulles
(advisor to Mr. Crowley as Custodian and Counsel for General Dyestuffs stock
claimants), is reported to be counsel for Schroder bank; and Allen W. Dulles,
brother of John Foster and a member of that law firm, likewise is one of the
directors of the J. Henry Schrder bank.
~Ibid., p 366
More than Nazi money went underground.
... Himmler was quoted as summing up his talk with Bormann to his most
trusted lieutenants in these words: 'It is possible that Germany will be defeated
on the military front. It is even possible that she may have to capitulate. But
never must the National Socialist German Workers' Party capitulate. That is what
we have to work for from now on.'
~The Nazis Go Underground, by Curt Riass, Doubleday, Doran, and Co.,
Inc.1944, p. 4-5
"Ex"-S.S. men infiltrated, among other things, every major intelligence
apparatus on earth. They have been major players in postwar history.
Spymaster Reinhardt Gehlen, for example, created the rationale for starting the
Cold War out of whole cloth. As we now know, had the Red Army actually been
intending to continue their drive westward, as Gehlen said they did, they would
not have been tearing up railroad track in front of themselves. They relied
heavily on rail to transport their troops. Our leaders didn't know; they believed
Gehlen, and acted accordingly. Or they knew, and they lied to us. There is no
third possibility. This comes as no surprise to those who have actually studied
war.
Truth is the first casualty.
Adolf Hitler's top intelligence officials worked with U.S. intelligence officials
during World War II, according to a transcript made available Tuesday of secret
testimony by Allen Dulles before a House Select committee in 1947.
~UPI, 9/29/82
This is the same Dulles who served on the Warren Commission, investigating the
assassination of the President who had fired him just prior to the murder in
Dallas that enabled the success of the coup of '63. It is interesting to note that
Dulles's law firm, Cromwell and Sullivan, also represented I.G. Farben before the
War.

The S.S. was designed from inception to stand alone, a thing apart. It was, and
is, more of a religious institution than a political or military one. Think of it as
one of those "cults that kill."
Shadows of its continued existence can be seen in the various "ex"-S.S. officer's
benevolent associations: the Odessa, Die Spinne, the "Kommeradenwerk," etc.,
in such mercenary armies as the "Fiances of Death," and in the "various"
cocaine cartels. Now they wear white shirts; camouflage works again. The
organization lives on, though the "old fighters" have by and large died off. They
had no more trouble recruiting new blood than they had finding new soil. The
organization is stronger than ever. It too is a business. In part, its business is
protection. "Ex"-S.S men flooded South America, where they were met with
open arms. They took over day to day operation of the lucrative cocaine trade.
Germans have maintained a monopoly on the South American pharmaceutical
business since the middle of the last century. Their fortunes have multiplied
enormously. One good alchemist is worth a forest of knights.
Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi 'angel of death,' was a major dealer in the
international drug traffic for many years ... according to testimony in a U.S.
Senate investigation ...
... Because of the partial blackout of the CIA reports, the senators said, many
questions are unanswered.
It is difficult to determine to what extent ... U.S. agencies attempted on a
serious determined basis to bring Mengele to Justice.
... The CIA unit, which had prepared an article on Mengele's activities for the
International Narcotics Review, withdrew the article, which has since been
'misplaced.'
~Heritage, 4/1/85
It is difficult to believe that any U.S. agency made a serious attempt to bring
Mengele to justice, or justice to him, until it was too late.
... according to declassified CIA documents released by two Republican senators:
Mengele's reported involvement in drugs could explain how he was able to
finance his life and travels in South America for years, according to one of the
senators, Alphonse M. D'Amato of New York. One CIA document said Mengele
may have used a farm machinery business in Paraguay 'as a mechanism to
move or launder large sums of money, as well as to cover the movement of illicit
narcotics.'
But the 28 heavily censored pages of long hidden CIA records were often vague
and inconclusive, D'Amato and Sen. Arlen K. Specter of Pennsylvania
acknowledged at a news conference. Because many sentences were blacked out

http://greyfalcon.us/restored/THE%20PHOENIX%20RISES.htm

4/14/2015

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 24 of 26

to conceal the CIA's sources of information about Mengele, it is difficult to

determine what data in the documents might be credible ...
... Referring to the documents, Specter said, 'They're vague, but that's the
starting point for our investigation.'
~Los Angeles Times News Service, 2/27/85
Vague, censored documents are a not unfamiliar concept to Specter who was
once counsel for the Warren Commission.
Some of the CIA documents and cables spoke of Mengele living at 'a wellguarded ranch' and enjoying 'the protection of Stroessner' a reference to
Paraguayan dictator Walter Stroessner.
~Ibid
The coca-fascistas are major players on the world economic stage. With all that
money, how could they not be? Their money buys a lot of protection. Their
power is immense. Their intentions have been made abundantly clear to all
those who pay attention.
Nazi roots run deep in Paraguay. Paraguay, became home to South America's
first Nazi party, in 1929. Not all Nazis are German. Not all German Nazis are in
exile.
Following the biggest ever crackdown on neo-Nazis in West Germany, authorities
have uncovered a web of international right-wing contacts stretching from the
United States through Europe that also touched the PLO and Iran.
The network came to light in a diary police seized from a leading West German
neo-Nazi, Manfred Rder...
Rder and Karl-Hienze Hoffman, leader of a neo-Nazi group banned last year,
also had contacts in Lebanon ...
... Hoffman has for several years sold second-hand military vehicles to Lebanon
and other Middle East countries.
One such shipment was seized on the Austrian border after a young member of
Hoffman's group planted a bomb at the Munich Oktoberfest last September,
blowing himself up and killing 12 others.

The raids turned up thousands of banned neo-Nazi and anti-Semetic
pamphlets smuggled from the United States and Canada.

The Phoenix Rises: the Bormann Plan

Page 25 of 26

~Houston Post, 3/31/81

Don't believe for one moment that the storm troopers we have been seeing on
the evening news, rioting in the streets of modern Germany, are a new
phenomenon, or that they arose solely out of reaction to the seizure of East
Germany's economy by the West. They have deep historical roots. They have
very powerful friends.
Who is behind the resurgence of fascism in Russia and America? Are we seeing
the simultaneous rise of spontaneous, indigenous movements? Or are we
looking at a coordinated effort? To answer this question, first consider the
proclivity and aptitude of the fascist, and particularly the Nazi, underground to
undertake coordinated efforts out of the light of day. Consider their track record.
Then ask yourself what we are going to do when they make their big move here.
The camps are already built. The paint is kept fresh. The grass is neatly
trimmed. The round up plan, code named Rex 84, is ready to go. Administration
is to be handled through FEMA. The plan was drawn up mainly by Ollie North,
when he was still in power. He drew heavily on a plan from the sixties called
Operation Garden Plot. Ollie's first plan, Rex 83, was run in computer simulation
and found lacking in man power.
Bodies called State Defence Forces were then set up to supplement law
enforcement and the national guard. They are to be essentially armed and
deputized civilians. Cadre elements meet and train regularly. They are recruited
from the fascist/racist para-militaries, and from the floating pool of freelance
mercenaries who advertise in Soldier of Fortune magazine. Some suspicious
types have considered the possibility that the name itself may be an allusion to
the infamous "King Alfred Plan" to round up Americans of African descent.
Rex 84 was originally drawn up to deal with the expected massive resistance to
a planned invasion of Central America. America stuck its toe in the water.
Operation Big Pine was an "exercise" involving the landing of 60,000 troops just
north of the Nicaraguan border. The degree of protest it sparked caused the
government to back down. In San Francisco we filled the streets four nights in
one week. The extent of protest in other cities was blacked out of national,
though not local news. The most reliable reports were on the Internet. Broadcast
journalism was grossly disfeasant, but the protests spread anyhow. They were
clearly not "copy-cat" protests. They were spontaneous, sincere and broadbased. No wonder the crypto-fascists (and their so-called "democratic"
interventionist allies) in government backed down. Home front resistance to
American fighting on the ground in Central America would have been massive.
Nevertheless, Rex 84 is still ready to go in case wide spread
civil unrest results from the clamp down following, oh say, a
coup, perhaps introduced by a Reichstag-Fire-like fake

(nuclear? biological?) terrorist incident. This is a time-tested

scenario. Better to be prepared for it than not. Fascism is
not a dead threat. Fascism is alive and well and not just
living in Argentina. Fascists, Nazis, Klansmen and their new
found allies the totalitarian (so-called) "Christian" Right have
infiltrated America's government, military, law enforcement,
and business at every level from the cop on the corner to
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
If their official plan, the one they admit to, calls then for
"dissidents" to have their doors kicked in by a bunch of
deputized Klansmen and Nazis, you can imagine what it is
that they plan but do not admit also. The lesson of history is
clear. These people are cold-blooded killers. They are
ruthless, tenacious, and very well financed. They are adept liars and past
masters of camouflage. Today they wear white shirts, but only for effect. Under
their Tarnung they are who they ever were. Best to plan with that in mind.
