If President George W Bush has his way, then
the spread of the American system of democracy
will continue to proliferate around the
world. There are those, however, who argue that
the American form of “democracy” has little to do
with genuine democratic representation but rather
more closely resembles a revolving fascist
dictatorship beholden to the interests of a
wealthy elite and big business. [1]
This form of government, it is argued, has as its
underlying model the European Synarchist movement
that was founded in the 1870’s, by Joseph
Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre. St Yves
considered the medieval Knights Templars to be
ultimate Synarchists of their time and
consequently drew on Templar ideals when formulating his ideas.
St Yves movement came to the fore in the early
1920’s, following the end of WWI and the signing
of the Versailles Treaty [2] . In its essence,
Synarchy advocates that government be run by a
secret society or cabal – “an elite of
enlightened initiates who rule from behind the
scenes.” [3] As authors Lynn Picknett and
Clive Prince describe it: “…it therefore doesn't
matter which political party holds power in a
state - or even what political system that state
has. Synarchists would step in and take control
of the key state institutions.” [4]
In the United States, one such secret society
worthy of note is Yale University’s Order of the
Skull and Bones. Entry into the Order involves
elaborate ritual and is accompanied by a change
of name. No longer is the neophyte known by his
family name, but assumes the identity of a Knight.
Bonesmen include George W. Bush, his father
George Bush senior and Senator John
Kerry. George Bush’s great grandfather, Prescott
Bush, was also a Bonesman, as was George Bush’s
favourite uncle, Herbert Walker. In point of
fact, almost all of the so-called “Eastern
Establishment” families have been enrolled in the
Skull and Bones. Author Antony Sutton, in his
groundbreaking four-part series “The Order,”
states that the US Order links to Britain through
the Rhodes-Milner Oxford Group but has German
origins. The US Order also links to the
Guggenheim, Schiff and Warburg families, despite
having definite anti-semitic tendencies until
more recent times. Sutton’s own research linked
the Order to “the founding and growth of
Nazism” [5] and considered it likely that
German original was the Illuminati.
The Bush family’s political dynasty and indeed,
its wealth, arose from the nazi connections
forged by Prescott Bush, who worked for nazi
magnate, Fritz Thyssen. Bush’s uncle “Herbie”
(Herbert Walker), was like-wise employed by
Thyssen. [6] An even darker episode was
reported by a Dutch intelligence agent who stated
that Prescott Bush also managed a portion of the
slave labour force located at I G Farben’s
Auschwitz plant - the infamous nazi death
camp. [7] Working for Prescott Bush was Allen
Dulles, who would later become a director of the
CIA, following a highly questionable career in
the war where he was posted to the head up the
Swiss office of the American intelligence
service, the OSS. Before the war Dulles was
appointed the US legal counsel for I G
Farben. Another law client of Dulles was Fritz
Thyssen. These inter-relationships are, at the
very least, very chummy. Some believe them to be treacherous.
The key period of the growth of Synarchism
followed on the heels of the Russian Revolution
and led to the rise of the Pan European Movement
in 1922. The PEM was embraced by powerful forces
inside Germany. This included the wealthy
banker, Max Warburg, who financed PEM. Warburg
was a director of the massive chemical cartel, I
G Farben, that helped hoist Adolf Hitler to
power. Curiously, however, Warburg was also
involved in helping Lenin to travel to Russia in
1917, thus providing succour to the Bolshevik
Revolution that Hitler later so
detested. [8] Is this simply a case of the
left hand not knowing what the right one was
doing, or could it be merely an example of the
Hegelian dialectic of forging conflict in order
to forge the future shape and direction of human history?
In any event, besides Max Warburg financing PEM,
another German banker in the form of Hjalmar
Schact, addressed the first mass rally of the Pan
European Movement held in Berlin. Schacht would
go on to work for Hitler as Minister for
Economics and President of the Reichsbank. If
one believes in coincidence then behold a
coincidence: together with Hitler, Max Warburg
signed the document that appointed Hjalmar
Schacht to the presidency of the
Reichsbank. Imagine that. Max’s brother, Paul
Warburg, was a director of American I G Farben as
well as being the first director of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. [9]
Known simply as the “AO” – the letters of the
Greek Alpha-Omega – the “Auslandsorganisation”
was the foreign intelligence arm of the nazi
party that engaged in espionage, fifth column,
propaganda and “economic” activities in
furtherance of nazi aims. Overseas members of
the AO operated largely through German owned or
controlled overseas companies. This include
numerous employees of I G Farben both those based
at home and abroad. In fact, Farben not only ran
the AO but financed it. [10] One of the most
senior Farben men involved in AO activities was
Max Ilgner, who was the nephew of Farben director
Hermann Schmitz – who’s ambition was to “form a
world fascist state without war if possible.” [11]
Ilgner, who was a uniform wearing member of the
feared Gestapo, had allied Farben’s intelligence
unit known as “NW7” with the AO, and had
recruited an army of 5,000 that operated through
American I.G. [12] Another member of Farben’s
NW7 department, was Gunther Frank-Fahle, who had
been born in Bradford, England. Although the
nominal head of the AO was Ernst Wilhelm-Bohle,
it was actually under the direct day-to-day
control of Walter Schellenberg, head of the SD,
the Gestapo’s counterintelligence service – who
described Farben as a “state within a state” to
his interrogators after the war. However, the
overall boss of the AO was deputy fuehrer, Rudolf Hess.
The industrialists and bankers, who funded
Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, had their
contributions processed through Hjalmar Schacht’s
account at the private Delbruck Schickler Bank in
Berlin. The funds in this account were
administered by Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf
Hess. Delbruck Schickler Bank was a subsidiary
of Metallsgesellschaft A G (“Metall”), by far the
largest non-ferrous metal company in
Germany. Metallsgesellschaft was jointly owned
by I G Farben and the British Metal
Corporation. [13] One of the two British
directors of “Metall” was Oliver Lyttelton who
was appointed the Controller of Non-Ferrous
Metals in 1939-40 and became the Minister of
Production in 1942-5 and a member of Churchill’s
War Cabinet. Lyttlelton’s mother was by a merry
coincidence, a member of the Rhodes-Milner Oxford
“Group,” whereas the eldest son of the fifth
Baron Lyttelton has been the private secretary to
Lord Selborne during his years in South
Africa. Selborne would take over leadership of
the “Group” following Milner’s death in 1925. He
was also, as I have remarked elsewhere, the
wartime head of Britain's Special Operations
Executive, which was the template for the American OSS. [14]
As stated earlier, the “Group” is the British arm
of the American Order of the Skull and Bones – or
is it the other way around? [15] Either way the
Skull and Bones is a “chapter of a German secret
society. The “originating” prong of the “Group”
and the “Order” are, in the view of Prof. Antony
Sutton, almost certainly the outlawed Bavarian Illuminati. [16]
THE “RED HOUSE” MEETING
It is self evident that the same
behind-the-scenes banking and industrial forces
who financed Hitler’s rise to power, as well as
his subsequent military build-up, would also take
all necessary steps to protect their hard
investments once it became clear Hitler and
Germany were doomed to defeat. Clarity arrived
with the devastating defeat of Field Marshall von
Paulus 6th Army Group at Stalingrad in January
1943. Any lingering doubts were erased with the
Allied invasion of Normandy on 6th June
1944. Unable to repulse the Allied D-day
invasion forces back into the sea, it was clear
for all to see that Hitler’s days were numbered.
Two months after the D-day landings, a secret
meeting was held in an elegant hotel in
Strasbourg that was aimed at securing and
protecting the wealth of nazi Germany and its
loyal bankers and industrialists. On the morning
of 10th August 1944, SS Obergruppenfuehrer
Scheid, a lieutenant-general in the Waffen SS –
as well as a director of the industrial company
Hermansdorff & Schenburg - arrived at the Hotel
Maison Rouge set in Strasbourg’s rue des
France-Bourgeois. Dr. Scheid had been sent to
host the meeting by none other than Reichsleiter
Martin Bormann, by then the second most powerful
man in nazi Germany, after Hitler.
Bormann’s rise to power followed on from the
ill-fated flight of Rudolf Hess in 1941, when he
parachuted to land in Scotland to secretly meet
with the Duke of Hamilton. With the loss of his
friend, and his plans for creating a secret
alliance with Britain to fight Russia in tatters,
Hitler had heaped all of Hess’ duties and
responsibilities on to the broad bull-like
shoulders of Bormann – with the exception of the
office of deputy fuehrer, which Hitler
abolished. This included Bormann taking over control of the AO.
In sending Dr. Scheid to Strasbourg, Bormann had
confided in him that: “the steps to be taken as a
result of this meeting will determine the
post-war future of Germany,” adding that the plan
was to insure an eventual “economic resurgence of
Germany.” [17] Present at the meeting, in
addition to Dr. Scheid, were representatives of
Krupp, Messerschmitt, Rheinmetall, Bussing,
Volkswagenwerk, engineers representing various
factories in Posen, Poland – including
Brown-Boveri – an important part of the German
electrical industry that was part owned by two
American companies – General Electric and
International Telephone & Telegraph. Today,
Brown Boveri has grown into a massive
multinational corporation employing almost
200,000 staff worldwide and still maintains it
close contacts with the US. Prior to his
appointment as George W Bush’s Secretary of
Defense, Donald Rumsfeld was on its board of directors. [18]
Bormann’s direction was that the industrialists
should forge new contacts and alliances with
foreign firms, as well as strengthening those
already established. This should be done without
attracting suspicion. Equally important was the
capital flight programme of state and corporate
assets to safe havens through the world, which
Bormann ordered. Thus began Operation Eagle’s
Flight. Critically, Bormann believed he needed
nine months to fully complete the planned capital
flight programme. [19] This meant that German
forces must resist the Allies advance throughout
the winter of 1944 and on until early mid May
1945. By a remarkable twist of fate, the war in
Europe ended on 8th May 1945, two days short of Bormann’s estimate.
WHOOPSIDAISY
Less than a month later, however, English Field
Marshall, Bernard Montgomery, laid out a daring
plan that, were it to succeed, would have
completely wrecked Bormann’s critical nine-month
programme. When, on 23rd August 1944, the
Supreme Allied Commander, General Eisenhower,
visited Montgomery’s HQ for lunch, followed by a
private conference, Montgomery argued that German
forces were in complete disarray and that a
decisive thrust into the Ruhr would result in the
end of the war before Christmas 1944. At
Montgomery’s insistence, Eisenhower’s Chief of
Staff, General Walter Bedell Smith was excluded
from the meeting, causing
rancour. [20] Eisenhower left Montgomery’s HQ unconvinced and wavering.
With the closing of the Falaise gap, Montgomery
was determined not to let Eisenhower waste a
golden opportunity to bring the war to a close in
1944. On 4th September, Montgomery sent a coded
signal “Personal for General Eisenhower Eyes
Only,” laying out in detail an audacious plan to
seize strategic bridges in the Netherlands
followed by a full-blooded armoured thrust into
Germany through the back door of the Ruhr – the
very heartland of German industry and,
coincidentally home to many of those
industrialists Dr. Scheid’s capital flight
conference had addressed less than a month
earlier. The plan, which would become known as
Operation Comet, was rejected by
Eisenhower. Montgomery strenuously objected and
a revised plan called Operation Market Garden,
that would muster considerably more forces than
the original Operation Comet, was eventually
agreed on 10th September 1944 by Eisenhower. The
final bridge to be captured by British airborne
forces and held until the arrival of the armoured
forces was located at Arnhem.
By coincidence too, it was the 4th of September,
that Field Marshall Model directed Lt. General
Bittrich’s badly mauled but veteran II SS Panzer
corps to bivouac in the Arnhem area to refit and
rest. Bittrich later stated that “there was no
particular significance in Model choosing the
Arnhem vicinity – except that it was a peaceful
area where nothing was happening.” [21] Now in
hindsight when armed with Bormann’s vital need
for a full nine months for his capital flight
programme to reach fulfilment, one wonders if
other more subterranean factors influenced
Model’s decision? Was treachery involved?
THE FRATERNITY
What is known for a fact is that Prince Bernhard
of the Netherlands had been appointed Commander
in Chief of Dutch forces by Queen
Wilhelmina. During the weeks following the D-day
landings, Prince Bernhard had remained in
constant contact with his Ministers, the US
Ambassador-at-Large, Anthony Biddle, and General
Bedell Smith. [22] His close contact with
these men was hardly the result of mere
chance. As we shall see, nothing was to be left
to chance by Bormann’s “Fraternity.” [23]
A member of the Biddle family, Thomas Bradish
Biddle, had been amongst the very first members
of the Order of the Skull and Bones, having been
tapped in 1839, just six years after it founding
in 1833. Anthony Biddle who’s full name was
Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle Jr., was not himself
a member of the Order. Never the less, he was no innocent.
During the early months of WWII, Biddle was in
Paris as the US Deputy Ambassador to France. It
was here that he became close friends of the
pro-nazi Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who spent a
considerable period of time living in the home of
Baron Eugene de Rothschild. However, Biddle’s
greatest friend in Paris was Ambassador William
Bullitt. Bullitt also held strong pro Hitler
views and was responsible for introducing the
American millionaire, Charles Bedaux, to the Windsor’s.
Bedaux was a good friend of I G Farben’s Hermann
Schmitz, and had, in fact, been appointed as head
of Farben’s commercial operations. His
involvement with the Windsor’s wasn’t accidental,
as he had been instructed by no less than SS
Chief Heinrich Himmler to inveigle them to help
in secret plans for a negotiated peace with
England. A secret meeting held in the Hotel
Meurice in Paris, between Bedaux, Rudolf Hess,
Martin Bormann and Hollywood actor and nazi
sympathiser Errol Flynn, the Duke of Windsor
promised to help Hess contact the Duke of
Hamilton, which “finally led to Hess’s dramatic
landing on the Hamilton Estate in 1941.” [24]
Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands also has a
decidedly nazi past. German born as Prince
Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld, he joined the
nazi party in the early 1930’s, eventually
donning the SS uniform. By 1935 he was gainfully
employed in I G Farben’s intelligence department
NW7. His match to Princess Juliana, the daughter
of the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina, was reportedly
arranged by Farben director, Gerhard Fritze, a
relative of NW7’s chief, Max Ilgner. [25] At
their marriage ceremony, the Prince’s closest
friends struck up the old favourite, the Horst
Wessel song, which was the anthem of the
Nazis. Shortly after the marriage, the noble
prince travelled to Berlin for a private meeting
with Hitler, who had publicly intimated that the
marriage represented an alliance between both
nations - which was refuted by Queen
Willhelmina. More telling was the fact that when
he arrived in England, after the outbreak of war,
and asked to work in British intelligence, his
offer was declined by the Admiralty, because they
didn’t trust him. Nor did the Supreme Allied
Commander, General Dwight Eisenhower who refused
him access to sensitive intelligence
information. However, with the intervention of
King George on Prince Bernhard’s behalf, he was
eventually allowed to work in war planning councils. Whoops.
Moving on quickly; to understand the very special
relationship between Prince Bernhard and General
Walter Bedell Smith – who most certainly had
complete access general Eisenhower’s intelligence
- we need to advance several years. After the
war, Prince Bernhard is believed to have been
profitably employed dealing in art stolen during
the war. Gerben Sonderman, who Prince Bernhard
described as the “best friend I ever had”
(presumably Adolf had by then been forgotten?),
acted as the prince’s private pilot for
transporting stolen art, according to Ton
Biesemaat, who has written an expose of the art
ring called “The Correggio Mystery. [26]
In 1941, Sonderman, a Dutch Fokker pilot,
developed contacts with Germans involved in
plundering Dutch art works. A close contact of
his was Alois Miedl, a “banker, spy and art
dealer” who occasionally dressed in SS
uniform. [27] After the war, Miedl operated on
behalf of the ODESSA, the SS escape network that
transported nazi war criminals to safety in South
America – particularly Argentina, where Bormann
is believed to have escaped to. This also is a
favourite destination for Prince Bernhard after
the war, where he was usually accompanied by his
best friend, Gerban Sonderman.
Another of those seemingly involved in this
stolen art-trading ring was Hungarian nobleman,
Prince Alfred zur Lippe-Weissenfeld, a relative
of Prince Bernhard. By another of those
remarkable coincidences, Prince Alfred’s daughter
was the wife of Baron Hans Heinrich
Thyssen-Bornemisza de Karzon, son of Fritz
Thyssen’s brother and heir to the Thyssen family fortune.
Walter Bedell Smith, who as we have seen above,
was in close contact with the prince during the
period that Montgomery was drawing up his initial
plan to capture the Dutch bridges and then dash
to Berlin via the Ruhr. Just how close this
friendship to Prince Bernhard was can be judged
by the fact that after the war both he and Prince
Bernhard went into business together. One might
describe it as an “import-export company” because
it involved an art trading company called
“Bernard Ltd” that uses military aircraft to fly
between Soesterberg – a short distance away from
Prince Bernhard’s palace Soestdijk – and the USA.
In addition to his close personal friendship with
Prince Bernhard, in August 1945, Bedell Smith
donated his private plane to secretly fly nazi
master spy Reinhard Gehlen, and five of his
general staff, to Washington for secret
talks. This move was in complete contravention
of prevailing American policy and, according to
author Charles Higham, could have resulted in
court martial proceedings against Bedell Smith. [28]
Prince Bernhard’s family relationship with that
of the Thyssen’s may go some way to explain why,
in 1945, together with a unit of Dutch
intelligence, Prince Bernhard travelled to the
Russian zone in Berlin to recover a batch of
buried “incriminating corporate papers” belonging
to Fritz Thyssen, that evidenced “secret Thyssen
ownership.” This small favour was carried out
under the pretext that the daring Prince was
recovering the Dutch crown jewels stolen by the
Nazis. The papers were returned to Holland and
deposited in the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart,
in Rotterdam, which was secretly owned by
Thyssen. Known as “Operation Juliana” this
cunning scheme was a body blow to Allied
investigators who were anxiously seeking the
“missing pieces of the Thyssen
fortune.” [29] The US attorney to the
Rotterdam bank was Allen Dulles, who had migrated
from the OSS office in Bern, Switzerland, to
become the US intelligence chief in post-war Germany.
FENCING THE ROSE
The Lippe family appears to have any number of
connections to enterprises with intelligence
connections. Take for example, the Order of the
Rose of Lippe, a chivalric Order awarded to
German House of Lippe. An offshoot of this order
is the Noble Company of the Rose, founded by
Ernst August Prinz zur Lippe – the first cousin
of Prince Bernhard - and Sir Rodney
Hartwell. Today, the Noble Order of the Rose is
awarded exclusively and by invitation only to
members of a curious research institute with a
focus on genealogy, royalty, nobility, chivalry,
heraldry, and related topics called The Augustan
Society that is housed in a mansion located in
the Mojave Desert near Dagget, USA, and which was founded in 1957.
The curiosity here is that many of the early, and
some of the founding members, were formerly with
wartime intelligence services, mostly the
OSS. These included Crolian Edelen, Robert
Formhals, Robert Gayre, John Driscoll, George
Balling and Forest Barber – all of whom had also
earlier been Shickshinny knights, a so called
“fake” Order that claimed descent from the
Russian Grand Priory of the Order of St. John of
Jerusalem. The Shickshinny knights boasted some
really heavy weight English and American pro nazi
military and intelligence officers. [30]
It is alleged that the number one activity of the
Augustan Society is intelligence gathering and
that several members of the Society began working
together three of four years before officially
incorporating it as a legal entity (thus dating
it back to circa 1954 – of which more later). It
is also said that it is an intelligence front for
SMOM, the official Vatican Order of the Knights of Malta.
The Augustan Society was originally located in
Torrance, California, a location that gave rise
to an insider adage “when you hear a sneeze in
Torrance, you hear a ‘God Bless you’ on the Via
Condotti.” The Via Condotti is the location of
the Palazzo di Malta in Rome, the HQ of
SMOM. The SMOM connection to this story is not
without considerable interest. Members of this
order have included such nazi notables as Dr.
Herman Abs, a director of I G Farben and Deutsche
Bank and who was known as “Hitler’s
paymaster.” Robert Gayre, one of the founders of
the Augustan Society was awarded the Grand Cross
of Merit of SMOM. Another to be honoured by SMOM
was nazi spymaster, Reinhard Gehlen – discussed
above – who received the prestigious Grand Cross
of Merito Melitense in 1948. Another honoured by
SMOM was James Jesus Angleton, to whom we shall
return shortly. Neither of the Dulles brothers
were honoured by this August body simply because
they were Protestants rather than Catholics.
Curiously however, Martin Bormann’s eldest son,
Adolf Martin chose to take holy orders in 1946
following a preliminary course at Federaun
Monastery, located close to Villach in
Austria. This monastery was under the patronage
of Bishop Hudal – one of the most senior Vatican
insiders who was responsible for running the nazi
underground escape railway known as the
Ratlines. More alarming is the fact that Hudal
was the “guardian” of Aldolf Martin Bormann, as
he was also the guardian of another monk, Brother
Avery Dulles, son of John Foster Dulles, elder
brother of Allen Dulles. It’s a small world isn’t it.
The Knights of Malta were also responsible for
helping thousands of the worst Nazis and members
of the SS escape to freedom down these Ratlines,
thus evading justice and avoiding the hangman’s
noose at Nuremberg. Originally conceived as an
underground railroad for wanted war criminals, it
was quickly co-opted, I understand, to smuggle
nazi gold, currency and other plunder to
replenish the enormous sums lost by the
Rockefeller family in pre-war German
investments. Assisting Rockefeller in this
sleazy endeavour were, Allen Dulles, Herbert
Walker and James Jesus Angleton, the OSS Italian
bureau chief and later CIA Rome Bureau chief. As
such Angleton was in charge of the Vatican
“account” and I understand that he learned about
the homosexual proclivities of Pope Pius XII
(formerly the Papal Nuncio in Bavaria) and was
able to use this information for blackmail
purposes. Meanwhile, Allen Dulles, Herbert Walker
and James Jesus Angleton are said to have
benefited most handsomely from “commissions”
earned for their assistance in shifting plunder
on behalf of the Rockefeller’s. Angleton
benefited even more since he was able to co-opt
SMOM, the intelligence arm of the Vatican, to
work on behalf of US intelligence interests.
Patrons of the Augustan Society are listed as
Ernst August Prinz zur Lippe, Dr. Otto von
Habsburg – the old Austro-Hungarian Imperial
House – and Prince Victor Emmanuel of Savoy – son
of King Umberto II, the last Italian king who was
forced to relinquish his throne after the war for
being pro-Mussolini. [31] Prince Victor
Emmanuel is the Grand Master of the authorised
Vatican chivalric Order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus.
Another of those beguiling coincidences is that
Robert Gayre, who is mentioned above, was the
head of the US branch of the racist organisation,
the International Association for the Advancement
of Eugenics and Ethnology, which is headquartered
in Scotland. Eugenics formed a very powerful
undercurrent in nazi ideology and thinking.
The IAAEE was founded by Lord Malcolm
Douglas-Hamilton who was a Wing Commander in the
RAF during WWII. Lord Malcolm was, moreover, a
member of the “Cliveden Set” - which is another
name for the Rhodes-Milner Oxford “Group” – that
was sympathetic to Hitler’s war aims. Not least,
Lord Malcolm had the honour of being the brother
of the Duke of Hamilton who, as we know, was the
host of Rudolf Hess after his flight to Scotland in 1941.
Colonel Gayre also founded the Order of St.
Lazarus of Jerusalem in Edinburgh, with the US
branch of this Order being established by Lord
Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton. Lord Malcolm is a
relative of the late Queen Mother via his mother,
Pamela Bowes-Lyon. Robert Gayre was also the
vice president of the International Commission
for Orders of Chivalry (ICC). The VI
International Congress of the ICC was held in
Edinburgh in 1962, under the Honorary Presidency
of the Duke of Edinburgh and was presided over by the Duke of Hamilton.
THE BRIDGE TOO FAR
With this diversion fairly comprehensively
covered, let’s now briefly return to the actual
events of Montgomery’s audacious Operation Market
Garden – the approved plan to take and hold the
five Dutch bridges that would open a way for a
massive Allied thrust at the heart of Germany.
Those who have seen the excellent film, based on
Cornelius Ryan’s book “A Bridge Too Far” will
recall the sheer stubborn courage of those
soldiers of the Third Battalion of the US 82nd
Airborne, under the command of Major Julian Cook,
who paddled across the Waal river in slow,
cumbersome boats, under a blizzard of deadly
German fire, to assault and hold the heavily
defended but critical Nijmegen road Bridge, a few miles south of Arnhem.
This was a last ditch attempt to relive the
sorely battered British paratroops at Arnhem led
by Colonel John Frost. Eventually succeeding, at
terrible cost, the Nijmegen Bridge was taken and
held. But rather than rushing armour up the road
to Arnhem to relieve Colonel Frost and ensure
success of Montgomery’s daring plan, a British
Guards Major arriving at Nijmegen Bridge told his
American counterparts that “we do not move our
tanks at night.” [33] A furious Colonel
Tucker, the regimental commander of the American
504th – that had secured the bridge, vehemently
argued there was no time to waste before the
Germans reinforced and that the British must grab
the chance to reinforce Frost at Arnhem. Immune
to these arguments, the English Major repeated
“Well, we can’t move our tanks at night,” and
then added “We will move them in the
morning.” [34] The next morning, as expected,
the whole area was heavy with German armoured reinforcements.
Cornelius Ryan does not name the Grenadier Guards
Major in his book, which is unusual. There also
appear to be some critical inaccuracies in the
chain of events he sets forth in his book.
A recent BBC documentary series called
“Battlefields” presented by historian Prof.
Richard Holmes, focused one programme on “The
Battle for Arnhem.” The programme makers
interviewed on camera Captain Moffatt Burriss,
commander of “I” company of the 504th, who was
present when General Horrocks first asked to
Colonel Tucker, commander of the 504th, if he
would take the heavily defended bridge by
assaulting across the Waal. According to
Burriss, General Horrocks said “This is an
awesome task, can your lads do it?” Tucker
replied, “Well general, if we take the bridge,
will your tanks be lined-up ready to
go?” Horrocks replied, “My tanks will be
lined-up in full force, hell-bent for Arnhem and
nothing will stop them.” [35]
Once the bridge had been taken, it was Captain
Burriss who welcomed the first tanks across, and
was astonished when they stopped. He asked the
sergeant in the first tank why they had
stopped. The sergeant who was commanding the
first three tanks – soon to be joined by a fourth
under the command a the Grenadier Guards major –
said that there was a German anti tank gun up
ahead and that “if I go up there that gun will
knock out my tank.” Burriss said, “Well, we’ll
go with you and get that gun.” But the offer
wasn’t accepted because, the sergeant said “No, I
can’t go, I’ve got no orders.” [36] A
situation that is in marked contrast to General
Horrocks intentions and his direct pledge to Colonel Tucker.
According to the Grenadier Guards war diary, they
bridge at Nijmegen was merely
“consolidated.” Also appearing on the interview
was the Grenadier Guards major, who said, “it
would have been quite difficult to go
ahead.” Captain Burriss didn’t see it that
way. He said during the programme that he “felt
betrayed.” His men had taken the bridge at
massive cost, facing machine guns, 20mm canons
and numerous other weapons, but the British “were
stopping because of one gun and they had a whole
Corps of tanks” at their disposal.
There was virtually nothing between the
Grenadiers and Arnhem 8 miles away. At the north
end of Arnhem Bridge the British paratroopers
still held out. With an injured Colonel Frost,
his second-in-command Major, Tony Hibbert of the
1st Parachute Brigade, fought on. He could hear
the tanks of the Grenadier Guards in the
distance. But they didn’t arrive. Interviewed
for the BBC programme he reflected wryly, perhaps
even bitterly, that the Market Garden plan “Could
and should have worked,” adding with a wry look
that the tanks under the control of Lord
Carrington were “over the bridge before we were overrun.”
THE LOST BOYS
Royal patronage of the Grenadier Guards can be
seen by virtue of the fact that reigning British
monarch’s are usually appointed as
“colonels-in-chief” of the Regiment. It is one
of only five British regiments who have the
honour of trooping the monarch’s “colour” the
royal flag – in front of the Monarch on the
occasion of their official birthday. The
ceremony derives from mounting guard of the royal
family and palaces and as “Household Troops” the
Grenadiers are one of the regiments who have the
honour of guarding the monarch. The rank and
file of the Grenadiers swear an oath of
allegiance to the monarch as head of the Armed
Forces of the United Kingdom. It is considerable
significance that the oath is sworn to the
reigning British monarch and not to Parliament.
Interestingly, the first public engagement of the
present monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, took place
in 1942, when as a younf princess she inspected
the Grenadier Guards on her 16th birthday.
The Grenadier Guards officer he was referring to
was Major Peter Alexander Rupert Smith, of the
extremely powerful and influential Smith family -
an almost publicly unknown dynasty of bankers
that dates back 350 years. It was in the 1650’s
when Thomas Smith founded Samuel Smith & Co,
Bankers in Nottingham, which is believed to have
been the first English bank headquartered outside
of London. Successive generations of Smiths
ensured that the family business flourished and
by 1902 a total of ten branches were operating.
Not only did a leading member of the family
befriended Lord Rothschild, but a family member
later married a Rothschild. A further dynastic
marriage was to the well-known Baring family of
bankers. Their influence kept on expanding and
expanding. Frances Dora Smith married Sir Claude
Lyon-Bowes, who were the grandparents of
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon who would marry Prince
Albert (Bertie) in 1923. Prince Albert became
King George V1 in 1936 and Elizabeth become Queen
Elizabeth 1 - later known as the Queen Mother.
Frances Dora Smith married Sir Claude Lyon-Bowes,
who were the grandparents of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
who married Prince Albert (Bertie) in 1923.
Prince Albert became King George V1 in 1936 and
Elizabeth become Queen Elizabeth 1 - later known
as the Queen Mother. In recent years, newspaper
article concerning the Queen Mothers favourable
attitude to the “pro-peace movement” spoke of her
“desire to avert war with Germany and for closer
ties to be established between the two
countries.” [37] One newspaper went so far as
to state that the Queen would have willingly
accepted a German occupation providing that the
monarchy and her place in it remained intact. [38]
Her brother, David Bowes-Lyon, to whom she was
exceptionally close was, before the war, a
director of Lazard Brothers bankers and who also
held an “important but vaguely defined role in
SOE.” [39] The Lazard’s connection is
significant inasmuch as this bank was a link to
pro-nazi Sir Henri Deterding of Royal Dutch Shell
and Viscount Bearsted of Hill Samuel, both of
whom connect to Baron Kurt von Schroder – a hard
core nazi, a financier of SS chief Heinrich
Himmler and a leading member of the “circle of
friends of the Reichsfuhrer.” Von Schroder
coincidentally employed Allen Dulles as his
American attorney [40] Royal Dutch Shell has
long believed to be largely owned by the Dutch and British royal families.
Von Schroder was also a member of the
Anglo-German Fellowship and a director of the
bankers, Lazard Brothers. The Anglo-German
fellowship was founded in 1935 by German banker
Ernest Tennant - a close friend of Hitler’s
Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop - and
had numerous members who admired Hitler. Some, went even further.
For example, Sir Oswald Mosley founded the
fascist British Black shirts, which was funded by
Berlin. Another was nazi enthusiast, Admiral Sir
Barry Domville, who would later become a
Shickshinny Knight. [41] Charles Edward, Duke
of Saxe Coburg & Gotha was sent by Hitler to
England to be the President of the Fellowship
with instructions to improve Anglo-German
relations and to push for an alliance between
both countries. Another member was the Duke of
Hamilton, who as we have seen, was the British
point of contact sought by Rudolf Hess in his
flight to Scotland. Saxe Coburg Gotha is, of
course, the real family name of the British royal
family, who changed to Windsor during the First
World War to dilute any expressions of animosity by the British public.
The connections of the British royal family to
the Nazis continue. Prince Phillip Mountbatten’s
(Duke of Edinburgh) closest sister in age,
Princess Sophie, married Prince Christopher of
Hesse, who was a member of Himmler’s staff,
enlisting as an “agent.” [42] Prince
Christopher would die in an aircraft accident in
1944, preceding by two years the extremely
suspicious death of Prince George, the Duke of
Kent and brother of the King, George VI – who
also died in an aircraft “accident.”
The Duke of Kent died on 25th August 1942 aboard
a Sunderland flying boat belonging to 228
Squadron of Coastal Command that crashed into a
hill, called the Eagle’s Rock, near Berriedale,
Caithness, Scotland. The authors of the book
“Double Standards” make a strong case that the
aircraft was sabotaged on the instructions of
Churchill, in order to avert the conclusion of a
secret alliance agreed in principle between
Germany and England that was to be signed in
Sweden by the Duke of Kent, presumably on behalf
of his brother, the King. The authors believe
that aboard the aircraft and travelling with the
Duke was none other that deputy fuehrer, Rudolf Hess.
Staying at Balmoral the night before the crash,
according to one biography of the Queen Mother,
the Duke feasted on a last supper of sorts. His
dinner companion was Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. [43]
SNATCHING VICTORY FROM DEFEAT
It should come as no surprise to learn that the
Grenadier Guards Major, Peter Smith, is the 6th
Baron Carrington more commonly known as Lord
Carrington, who in April 1985 was honoured by the
Queen when he was made a knight of the Most Noble
Order of the Garter, the oldest and most
prestigious British Order of chivalry that dates
back almost 700 years. As a member of the royal
family bloodline, Lord Carrington’s illustrious
career has included a stint as chairman of the
secretive and elite Bildergers. Not least, he was
a former President of the Pilgrim Society that
was founded in London in 1902 (and New York in
1903), as a dying wish of Cecil Rhodes. Another
member of this ultra secret society was none
other than the Duke of Kent, as was A J Drexel Biddle.
Founded in May 1954, the Bilderberg Conferences
bring together the elite of the world to seek a
consensus on how global matters are to be
shaped. It is viewed with extreme suspicion by
many who see it as working outside of democratic
control to foist on them a dictatorial world
order dedicated to the interests of the elite few.
Those instrumental in the founding of Bilderberg
have included, General Walter Bedell Smith, Allen
Dulles and Antoine Pinay, the ultra right French
Prime Minister and Otto Wolff of the Cologne
based firm Otto Wolff A. G., whose father was a
substantial contributor to Hitler. Another was
Sir Collin Gubbins, wartime head of the SOE who
had established and trained Auxilary Units to
resist underground in the event of a nazi
invasion. These, in turn, were linked to the
so-called Army “Oxen Units” that engaged in
sabotage. One such Oxen Unit was in Berriedale
at the time the Duke of Kent’s aircraft crashed. [44]
Attendees are numerous and very
influential. These have included, for example,
David Rockefeller, Walter Boveri Jr, son of the
founder of Brown Boveri, Sir Eric Roll of
Warburg’s London based merchant bank and Dr.
Herman Abs of I G Farben – to name just a few who
are relevant to this essay. The first Bilderberg
chairman was Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands,
who remained chairing the meetings until 1976,
when he stood down following his disgrace for
accepting bribes in the Lockheed affair.
Of significance is the fact that the first
Bilderberg meeting was held ten years after the
failed Operation Market Garden, in a hotel (named
the Bilderberg – hence the name of the group),
that is located in Oosterbeek, Holland, just a
few kilometres from both Arnhem and Nijmegen –
and in the very middle of the fighting to take the Arnhem bridge.
Is it possible that Oosterbeck was chosen for the
first meeting of Bilderberg in order to secretly
celebrate the success in getting the wealth of
nazi Germany to safety as planned by Bormann?
Possibly. In the first two years of its
existence, four meetings were held, on a
semi-annual basis. [45] For 1954, meeting were
held in May and again in September. In 1955, they
were in March and September. Thereafter, meetings
have been held just once annually in
May. September 1954 was, of course, the month of
the failed – or betrayed – Operation Market Garden.
1954 is of significance for other reasons, too,
for it was in 1954 that the Allies finally agreed
to return Western Germany to the status of a
sovereign nation and German companies were, at
last, freed from Allied control on 5th May
1955. The assets of Thyssen, Krupp and others
that had been secreted abroad could now be
untangled and returned to once again rebuild
Germany – as foreseen by Bormann. [46] The
treaty that ended the occupation of West Germany
was signed in Paris in October 1954. [47]
The past is the future. Sadly.

whoever wins an American presidential election,
US foreign policy remains fundamentally unchanged.
[2] It is here of considerable significance
that it was following the Versailles Treaty that
many German industrialists, including the Thyssen
and Dornier family, first developed their
financial techniques to cloak ownership of their assets.

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.

Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
