Giuliani Invokes Hitler/Rockefeller/Bush Conspiracy to Explain 9/11
by Robert Lederman
http://baltech.org/lederman/
Former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani may have revealed a lot more about what
happened on 9/11 than he intended this past Saturday while addressing a
Conference of Mayors breakfast honoring the WTC victims.
"In the 1930's, Hitler told us what he was going to do, and we ignored it,
for years and years and years. In the 1990's, the terrorists told us what
they were going to do. And we ignored it. We glorified Yasir Arafat when he
was training terrorists in Palestine. We allowed Saddam Hussein to build
weapons of mass destruction as we removed inspectors." -NY Times 1/27/2002
U.S. Ignored Threat of Terror, Giuliani Says
When a man who has been publicly compared to Hitler throughout his career
invokes the Fuhrer by name we should all pay attention. Giuliani was 100%
right that we knew what Hitler, Saddam Hussein and bin Laden were going to
do, but he left out how we knew. How we knew is the key to understanding
Giuliani, the Bush administration and what really happened on 9/11.
Hitler, Saddam and bin Laden have much in common besides being mass
murderers. All worked for, were financed by and were armed at the direction
of America's top corporate interests, most conspicuously among them
corporations and individuals associated with the Rockefeller and Bush
families and with the men who created CIA policy. Giuliani is intimately
linked to these families and corporations.
The Bush family were Hitler's American bankers, spending more than a decade
building up the Nazi war machine until their banking and shipping assets
were seized by the U.S. Congress in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy
Act.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil was half owner of IG Farben the chemical and
munitions company which formed the industrial basis of the Third Reich and
which built and operated 40 slave labor death camps including Auschwitz. IG
Farben likewise owned half of Standard Oil.
Most of the world's current leading drug companies such as Bayer were once
part of IG Farben. Today, Rockefeller's Exxon/Mobil (formerly Standard Oil)
is the world's largest corporation, with his JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup -
the two main banks financing Enron - close behind.
Rockefeller's Chase Bank - the main funding source for the Manhattan
Institute - has admitted to helping Hitler raid the gold reserves of invaded
European nations and voluntarily liquidating thousands of Jewish bank
accounts and turning the money over to the Nazis. Rockefeller's intelligence
representatives in what later became the CIA imported thousands of former
Nazis to the U.S. after WWII, among them major war criminals who
participated in the war's worst atrocities. Some of the men who helped
import Nazis to the U.S. and conspired to hide this fact from the American
people later became CIA directors, Secretaries of State, heads of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, presidential advisors and U.S.
Presidents.
Eugenics programs in the U.S. were publicly acknowledged by Hitler as the
model for what eventually became the Nazi program of mandatory euthanasia,
the forcible sterilization of more than 350,000 German citizens and
ultimately, the Holocaust. It was the Rockefeller family and their long-time
business associates - the Bush and Harriman families who were Wall Street
partners in financing Hitler - whose institutions and foundations inspired
both the U.S. and the Nazi eugenics laws.
These laws mandating forcible sterilization were in effect in more than 20
states in the U.S. until the Holocaust temporarily gave eugenics a bad name.
Eugenics-based ideas have since come back stronger than ever under the
guises of population control, the Human Genome Project, eliminating welfare
and privatizing prisons, hospitals and schools - which are the
preoccupations of the CIA sponsored Manhattan Institute where both Giuliani
and GW Bush claim they get all of their ideas.
Contrary to their recent public statements about the sanctity of life, for
the past 70 years the Bush family has been among the world's leading
proponents of population control policies and abortion. GW's grandfather -
the Nazi banker Prescott Bush - was a leading official of Planned Parenthood
in the 1950's and lost his seat in Congress because of it. US Ambassador to
the U.N. in the early 70's George Bush specialized in promoting a worldwide
depopulation program sponsored by David Rockefeller.
Saddam Hussein got his chemical and biological weapons and most of his
conventional weapons from the U.S. - specifically from the Bush
administration and it's friends in the armaments industry. It was the first
Bush administration which indicated to Saddam - after arming him - that we'd
look the other way if he invaded Kuwait, thereby starting the Gulf War. It
was the Reagan-Bush administration that armed, trained and financed bin
Laden, deliberately building up Islamic fundamentalism in Afghanistan into a
force to be reckoned with.
It was the Reagan/Bush CIA director William Casey who orchestrated giving
bin Laden and his friends billions in weapons and special military training.
That's the same William Casey who founded the Manhattan Institute (MI).
MI has since given us the GW Bush and Giuliani administrations and used them
both as testing grounds for a fascistic concept of America featuring
eugenics-based social programs, tax cuts for the richest corporations,
widespread media censorship, a never-ending war on "terrorism" and the
phoniest brand of patriotism ever seen in U.S. history.
It was Giuliani's most important patron, David Rockefeller, who created the
World Trade Center with his brother, NY State Governor and Ford
Administration vice President, Nelson Rockefeller. The Rockefeller families'
oil policies and long entanglement with the Saudi royal family were bin
Laden's stated reasons for hating the U.S.
The facts proving these statements are a matter of U.S. history and can be
confirmed by anyone with a computer or a library card and an interest in
doing so. Thousands of websites are dedicated to this history. There are
also thousands of readily accessible mainstream media sources, records of
Congressional hearings and books published by respected authors detailing
this history. Many of these authors were once U.S. government officials. In
the articles on my website http://baltech.org/lederman/ I list hundreds of
places where you can find this information.
Admittedly, you won't find any direct reference to these things on the
Rockefeller families many websites or in an authorized history of Giuliani
or the Bush family. They've spent decades obliterating and whitewashing
their record.
As one glaring example of the reach of their censorship consider this simple
fact. Since 9/11 not one mainstream U.S. newspaper has reported that the
Rockefellers built the WTC yet every history of the WTC and every article
from the 1970's on it's construction prominently features this fact, usually
in the first paragraph.
Despite his occasional tendency to embarrassing public confession, Rudy
Giuliani will never publicly admit his connections to Nazis and the far
right or why he is so obsessed with Hitler. He is however, proud to remind
us of his close relationship to the Rockefeller families' CIA-initiated
Manhattan Institute and to the Bushes.
While leading daily celebrity tours of ground zero, doing hundreds of
interviews about his greatness and accepting credit for "saving New York"
from the terrorists, Giuliani has never responded to a single question about
why he illegally stored 6,000 gallons of fuel in WTC #7 to supply his
"bombproof" bunker. That fateful decision caused WTC #7 to collapse thereby
conveniently destroying millions of CIA, FBI and Department of Justice
files.
Was it a coincidence that the two worst terrorist attacks on U.S. soil each
destroyed millions of files of criminal evidence that were embarrassing for
U.S. government officials and corporations? Is it a coincidence that the
so-called "terrorists" in each bombing - Oklahoma City and the WTC - were
trained by the U.S. military and/or the CIA?
These millions of files were evidence in criminal cases involving major U.S.
banks, US-trained terrorists, the Mafia, U.S. officials and foreign
governments who are now our "allies" in the so-called war on terrorism.
Giuliani has also refused to answer any questions on why he ordered all of
the steel beams from ground zero melted down and destroyed before they could
be examined by investigators. Giuliani cleaned up millions of tons of WTC
evidence even faster than he cleaned up the "squeegee menace", street
artists or topless dancing.
One has to wonder why Giuliani would warn us about imminent terrorist
attacks for years, even surrounding his offices at City Hall with concrete
barriers and then locate his emergency response bunker in the building
complex most expected by U.S. intelligence agencies to be attacked by
terrorists. Evidence about what Giuliani himself knew about 9/11 before it
happened may be one of the many reasons he recently stole millions of public
records on his last active day as Mayor of NYC in order to prevent them from
being accessed by the public.
It's tempting to reject all of this material without even looking into it.
Like the countless indications in recent years that Enron was a fake, these
disturbing truths are hard to face and doing so has serious ramifications
for politics, finance, national security and the very idea of what the U.S.
government is supposed to stand for.
It's not easy to accept that this nations' biggest enemies are almost
without exception puppets of our own wealthiest families but like Giuliani
said, we ignore the clear warning signs at our own peril. Our enemies have
told us exactly what they intend to do. Isn't it time to take them at their
word?

NY Times Editorial January 26, 2002 City Papers Belong to the Public
"A week before he left office, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani quietly worked out a
deal with New York City's records commissioner to move his papers to a
private storage facility in Queens, where they now reside. This
unprecedented and self-serving contract gives him the right to choose an
archivist to catalog a roomful of city documents and to initially determine
what is public and what is not. Mr. Giuliani's people have described this as
an effort to help the city by financing and thus speeding up the archiving
process. Not coincidentally, it will help Mr. Giuliani maintain control of
his image and get quick access to material he needs to fulfill a $3 million
book contract to write about his days as the city's mayor.
The idea of a high elected official controlling his own documents troubles
many historians, archivists and journalists, harking back to the days when
Richard Nixon left the White House with truckloads of papers and tapes. Mr.
Giuliani left office under far different circumstances, but the former mayor
has a long record of refusing to allow access to public documents concerning
his administration. While the contract makes it clear that Mr. Giuliani
cannot legally shred or delete documents without city approval, his own
history does not breed confidence that his hand-picked archivists would err
on the side of openness.
As it stands, most of the work will take place out of the city's reach,
overseen by Mr. Giuliani's new nonprofit Center for Urban Affairs Inc. The
city is supposed to have a say on how matters work at the Queens warehouse
and what documents get shared with the public. But in reality, the
overworked city archivists and the busy corporation counsel are not going to
be able to spare the time to oversee the Giuliani staff's day-to-day
activities. While speed in organizing the papers may be important to Mr.
Giuliani and his publishers, the top priority for the city is keeping all
the material secure so that a complete record will eventually be available
to historians. The Giuliani forces are supposed to come up with an archiving
proposal by the end of next week, and the city's advisory board on archives
plans to discuss this hijacking of documents at a meeting next month. Both
occasions offer opportunities to make certain these papers are catalogued
and controlled by someone whose first responsibility is to history, not to
Mr. Giuliani.
If speed is Mr. Giuliani's concern, then he should be allowed to help
underwrite the cataloguing so that archivists can do the job more quickly.
But the original documents should be returned to the city's direct control
first. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has defended the contract, must rethink
his position. The mayor has the right to cancel the agreement within 90
days. He should do so unless Mr. Giuliani is willing to renegotiate."

NY Times 5/12/97 Turning Intellect Into Influence: Promoting Its Ideas, the
Manhattan Institute Has Nudged New York Rightward
"It was an early proponent of shrinking city government; it enabled Charles
Murray to publish the 1984 book that many people believe begat welfare
reform [Murray wrote "The Bell Curve" while he was on the staff of the
Manhattan Institute], and it promoted theories about crime and public
disorder that later underlay the work of the former Police Commissioner,
William J. Bratton. It took up the question of the quality of life in New
York City in 1990, well before Mr. Giuliani made that a cornerstone of his
successful election campaign in 1993. The institute has savaged open
admissions al the City University of New York, pushed hospital privatization
and aggressively promoted school choice...Mr. Giuliani and his campaign
staff began meeting with institute members in 1992, and since that time have
absorbed many of its ideas, particularly on such issues as the city's tax
structure, economic development, education policy, policing and quality of
life...In mid-1992, the magazine published an issue on the quality of life-
full of articles on such subjects as "reclaiming public spaces" - and Mr.
Giuliani could be found seated in the audience at an institute sponsored
conference pegged to the issue, scribbling notes...In a brief interview
recently, Mr. Giuliani said he had found City Journal, in particular,
"enormously helpful. I've read it for years, since it first came out. It has
sparked a lot of the reanalysis, reinvention, reinvigoration of government.
It produces provocative and very good ideas."
'The Manhattan Institute clearly has become the force, and there is no
progressive force to counter it. There isn't even a debate.' "The mayor has
a very close working relationship with the Manhattan Institute," Giuliani's
communications director, Crystine Lategano, said...Another sign of how much
New York has changed: The most influential source of political ideas is a
conservative think tank that was founded by Margaret Thatcher's mentor and
Ronald Reagan's spymaster [CIA director William Casey]." -Boston Sunday

Tales of the Afghan Drug Trade, Opium for the Masses
"During the last few weeks of anthrax hysteria, a dozen or so U.S. reporters
have pursued a more difficult, taboo story: opium's role as the centerpiece
of Afghanistan's economy. That cursed country was already a place where
children helped to harvest the gum from the poppies, working people kept
opium in their homes rather than money in the bank, and the Taliban raked in
up to $50 million a year in drug taxes...Writing for the Chicago Tribune on
September 30, Islamabad-based Tom Hundley probed a little deeper, noting
that during the 1980s, CIA director William Casey embraced the opium trade
as a means to finance his covert war in Afghanistan. Translation: The Afghan
fundamentalists may be drug lords, but they're our drug lords. They learned
to trade drugs for arms 20 years ago, with the tacit approval of the CIA."
Chicago Tribune; Chicago, Ill.; Sep 30, 2001; Tom Hundley
"To counter the Soviets, the CIA began to recruit, arm and train thousands
of mujahedeen--holy warriors--from throughout the Middle East. From the
outset, the CIA recognized the potential of stimulating drug production to
finance the operation and to spread addiction among the poorly disciplined
Soviet troops. President Jimmy Carter rejected using drugs as a weapon of
war, but when the Reagan administration came to power in 1981, CIA Director
William Casey jumped at it, according to the memoirs of some of the key
players in the operation."
>From The Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders, New Press [pg 132]
"The fund raising arm of the Free Europe Committee [a CIA front] was The
Crusade for Freedom for which a young actor named Ronald Reagan was a
leading spokeman and publicist. The Crusade for Freedom was used to launder
money to support a programme run by Bill Casey, the future CIA director,
called the International Refugee Committee in New York [aka International
Rescue Committee], which allegedly coordinated the exfiltration of Nazis
from Germany to the United States where they were expected to assist the
government in fighting Communism...[pg 142]...The Ford Foundation gave
$500,000 to Bill Casey's International Rescue Committee and substantial
grants to another CIA front, the World Assembly of Youth...the convergence
between the Rockefeller billions and the U.S. government exceeded even that
of the Ford Foundation ."
"During the war, Rockefeller foreshadowed the anticommunist policies of the
Cold War by cozying up to dictatorial regimes in Latin America. Niccolà
Tucci, head of the State Department's Bureau of Latin American Research,
resigned and asked Secretary of State Cordell Hull to abolish his bureau.
"My bureau was supposed to undo the Nazi and fascist propaganda in South
America and Rockefeller was inviting the worst fascists and Nazis to
Washington." Tucci took his objections to Rockefeller and was told: "
'Everybody is useful and we're going to convert these people to friendliness
to the United States.' And then, Rockefeller's lawyer Larry Levy said to me,
'Don't worry, we'll buy those people'" (Peter Collier and David Horowitz,

"The New York-based bank controlled by the Rockefeller family closed Jewish
accounts even before the Germans ordered them to do so and did business with
the Nazis while they were sending Jews to the gas chambers, Newsweek
magazine reports in this week's edition. And while the U.S. was at war with
the Nazis, Chase also apparently helped German banks do business with their
overseas branches, the magazine reported...The relationship between Chase
and the Nazis apparently was so cozy that Carlos Niedermann, the Chase
branch chief in Paris, wrote his supervisor in Manhattan that the bank
enjoyed "very special esteem" with top German officials and "a rapid
expansion of deposits." Niedermann's letter was written in May 1942 - five
months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. also went to war

retarded or stopped their acceptance."...He helped John D. Rockefeller III

World Population Crisis: The United States Response by Phyllis Tilson
Piotrow; Praeger Publishers
Foreword by George H. Bush, Jr.
U.S. Representative to the United Nations, 1973
"Few issues in the world have undergone such a rapid shift in public
attitudes and government policies over the last decade as the problems of
population growth and fertility control. My own first awareness of birth
control as a public policy issue came with a jolt in 1950 when my father
[Prescott Bush] was running for the United States Senate in Connecticut.
Drew Pearson, on the Sunday before Election Day, "revealed" that my father
was involved with Planned Parenthood...As chairman of the special Republican
Task Force on Population and Earth Resources, I was impressed by the
arguments of William H. Draper...General Draper continues to lead through
his tireless work for the UN Population Fund. Now the recommendations of the
Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, chaired by John D.
Rockefeller 3rd, have urged many agencies to take on a larger role and have
called for the U.S. government to adopt a national population policy....one
of the major challenges of the 1970s, the Second United Nations Development
Decade, will be to curb the world's fertility... private organizations, like
the Population Crisis Committee, Planned Parenthood, the Population Council,
the Population Reference Bureau, the Population Institute, Zero Population
Growth, and others, have played a major role in assisting government policy
makers and in mobilizing the United States response to the world population
challenge described in this volume." signed, George Bush

AN AMERICAN DYNASTY
"Prescott Bush was surely aghast at a sensational article the New York
Herald Tribune splashed on its front page in July 1942.
"Hitler's Angel Has 3 Million in US Bank," read the headline above a story
reporting that Adolf Hitler's financier had stowed the fortune in Union
Banking Corp., possibly to be held for "Nazi bigwigs."
Bush knew all about the New York bank: He was one of its seven directors. If
the Nazi tie became known, it would be a potential "embarrassment," Bush and
his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman worried, explaining to government
regulators that their position was merely an unpaid courtesy for a client.
The situation grew more serious when the government seized Union's assets
under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the sort of action that could have
ruined Bush's political dreams. As it turned out, his involvement wasn't
pursued by the press or political opponents during his Senate campaigns a
decade later. But the episode may well have been one of the catalysts for a
dramatic change in his life. Just as the Union Banking story broke, Bush
volunteered to be chairman of United Service Organizations, putting himself
on the national stage for the first time. He traveled the country raising
millions of dollars to help boost the morale of US troops during World War
II, enhancing his stature in a way that helped him get elected US senator. A
son and grandson would become presidents."

"COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The Central Intelligence Agency has
for the first time confirmed that a high-ranking Nazi general placed his
anti-Soviet spy ring at the disposal of the United States during the early
days of the Cold War. The National Archives said in a release Wednesday that
the CIA had filed an affidavit in U.S. District Court "acknowledging an
intelligence relationship with German General Reinhard Gehlen that it has
kept secret for 50 years." "The CIA's announcement marks the first
acknowledgement by that agency that it had any relationship with Gehlen and
opens the way for declassification of records about the relationship," the
National Archives said Gehlen was Hitler's senior intelligence officer on
the Eastern Front during the war and transferred his expertise and contacts
to the U.S. as World War II reached its climax. While Gehlen's relationship
with U.S. intelligence during the 1940s and 1950s has been the topic of some
five books over the years, the eventual release of CIA documents pertaining
to the development of his European spy ring could shed new light on the
origins of the Cold War and early U.S. espionage efforts against Moscow

who were bailed out of prisoner of war camps by U.S. intelligence officers -
was known as the Gehlen Organization and received millions of dollars in

NY Post Editorial 6/16/98
"We'll say it simply: Just because people don't like Rudy Giuliani doesn't
give them license to compare him to Adolf Hitler. The Hitler analogy is
something that seems to amuse many people in this city. Cutesy stories have
been written and published in the past week about an art installation on
Madison Avenue called No York in which the mayor is depicted with a Hitler
moustache. This image was first bandied about by an obnoxious twerp who
claims to represent a group called A.R.T.I.S.T. - but which really ought to
be called M.O.R.O.N. - who is outraged that the mayor attempted to enforce
plainly written statutes regarding sidewalk clutter in front of the
Metropolitan Museum. For this, the twerp (whose name we shall never again
use because he deserves no more public mention) imagines that Rudy Giuliani
deserves comparison with the personification of evil in this century...As
the New York Times' gleeful seizure of the "bunker" story indicates, you
don't have to be a cabbie, a vendor or a M.O.R.O.N. to issue forth such

"In satire and protest, the Mayor of the City of New York is again being
likened to some of the vilest figures in history. But this time Rudolph W.
Giuliani is learning to accept it.... Deputy Mayor Randy M. Mastro goes so
far as to detect a touch of flattery in the Giuliani-as-Dictator analogies."

"But the Mayor repeated his anger over signs and chants at the post-Diallo
protests that liken him to Adolf Hitler. "The comparisons to Hitler, Adolf
Hitler, and fascism have to stop, because they're sick, perverted, and they
do affect some people," he said. "Invocations of Adolf Hitler are despicable
no matter who it is. Nobody should participate in it, and nobody should do
it."

NEVER AGAIN BY WARD HARKAVY
The History of American Eugenics Is Explored Online
"A century ago, scientists from the top universities in America began to
study people's pedigrees in the hopes of creating "perfect" children.
Instead, they spawned a monster: the pseudoscience of eugenics...But now
more than 1200 images from the heyday of eugenics are about to be opened to
wide public view, under a program funded by the Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory on Long Island. The Image Archive on the American Eugenics
Movement, vector.cshl.org/eugenics/, pieced together by a staff led by David
Micklos of the lab's DNA Learning Center, contains explosive material on
such topics as "race mixing" and "Mongolian idiocy."...It's more than
coincidence that the Cold Spring Harbor Lab hosts this project. It is, after
all, home of the Human Genome Project to map DNA...Minority groups were most
often the target of this plan...The ERO itself was endowed by a grant from
the widow of railroad magnate E.H. Harriman [The Bush family's business
partner in financing Hitler], and such population-control progressives as
Margaret Sanger also believed in the cause...Today's breakthroughs in, say,
prenatal screening would have been embraced by eugenicists, and there's
always a group of people who will subscribe to racial-inferiority theories
like those in The Bell Curve [written at the Manhattan Institute]."
NY POST 1/28/2002 RUDY NAMED HIS JUDI TO TWIN TOWERS FUND BOARD
"ALBANY - Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani had his girlfriend Judith Nathan
appointed to the board of directors of the city's Twin Towers Fund during
his push to take over the charity, The Post has learned.
Nathan is one of 14 of the mayor's friends, supporters or former employees
named to the volunteer board, which will oversee the $100 million fund,
according to documents filed with the state Attorney General's Office.
"Judith has been helping us from the get-go," said Laurence Levy, a former
Giuliani aide who will be the fund's president. Giuliani will chair the
board, which will have some entertainment muscle, with Hollywood star Arnold
Schwarzenegger and NBC Chairman/CEO Robert Wright. Other notable names are
ex-Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik and ex-Fire Commissioner Thomas Von
Essen, both of whom may serve as vice chairmen, and Continental Airlines
Chairman Gordon Bethune. The filings with the Attorney General's Office,
obtained by The Post, spell out Giuliani's plan for the fund. According to
the documents, the fund plans to hire as many as 12 people, with the total
annual payroll reaching as much as $1.44 million.
Levy's salary isn't set yet, but may be as much as $250,000, according the
documents. Total administrative costs, including salaries, could top $2.2
million...Giuliani has reorganized the fund so he can oversee it as a
private citizen. It is awaiting the necessary approvals to transfer the
remaining funds."
