-Caveat Lector- Notes from the Old Country: we reap what we sow in Europe By Jim Marrs Date: 09/28/2000 URL: http://www.alienzoo.com/features/m/200009280001.cfm Several recent news stories from the Old Country clearly demonstrate the result of questionable activities on the part of United States authorities over the past half-century. Recently, in response to Freedom of Information Act requests, the CIA at long last has formally admitted what had been reported for years - that the Agency agreed to "an intelligence relationship" with one of Nazi Germany’s top spy chiefs, General Reinhard Gehlen. In his 1971 book, The Service, Gehlen described his position as chief of Nazi intelligence for the East Front and his organization’s transfer to CIA control in 1949. At the end of World War II, Gehlen told his spy network in Russia, made up of anti-communists, to go to ground and await orders. He then stashed crates of intelligence files in a cave and, after being careful to surrender the Americans, made a deal to place the Gehlen organization at the disposal of American intelligence, which was ill prepared for confrontation with the Soviet Union. Gehlen himself went on to become head of the West German Federal Intelligence Service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst. While the communists had been slipping agents into the United States since the Russian Revolution of 1917, America was nearly at a loss to know the intentions and capabilities of the Soviets. Our need for intelligence was critical. Gehlen agreed to fill in the gaps but with some conditions - he would remain in sole contact with his organization, which was composed of virulent anti-communists and he would never be asked to do anything against the interest of his Fatherland, Germany. So this unreconstructed Nazi who had fought so hard against Russia filtered intelligence from an anti-communist underground to American intelligence chiefs largely ignorant of Russia or her intentions. In the waning days of World War II, Hitler dreamed of constructing an alliance with America and Britain against the Soviet Union. Is it any wonder that this country quickly sank into the mire of fear and suspicion known as the Cold War? This all occurred at the same time that American globalists were working hard to send financing and support to the Soviet Union, warmly receiving Nazis in the United States and working to create a united European Union as the first step to their worldwide New World Order. John J. McCloy, a leading luminary of the secretive Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), leading banker with Chase Manhattan Bank, future member of the Warren Commission, and then American High Commissioner of West Germany, in January, 1951, granted a general amnesty to top Nazi war criminals, most of whom were soon released from prison. One of the most highly decorated Nazis, Wernher von Braun who was in charge of Hitler’s V-2 terror rocket program, was brought to American and soon headed this nation’s space program. Many other Nazi scientists, experts in both weaponry and behavior modification, were brought into service of the United States under Operation Paperclip. Allen Dulles, a founder of the CFR and one of those present at the home of German banker Kurt von Schroeder in January, 1933, when the decision was made to make Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany, was largely responsible for bringing Gehlen and his organization into the fold of American intelligence. Polish socialist Dr. Joseph Hieronim Retinger was the Polish socialist who founded the European Movement after the war. Retinger formed the American Committee on a United Europe along with Dulles, then CFR Director George Franklin and William Donovan, chief of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), forerunner of the CIA. Recently released US Government documents show that it was American interests which helped found and fund Retinger’s movement which has culminated in the formation of the European Union. These documents, found a by a Georgetown University researcher, confirm that Donovan personally gave instructions to fund a campaign for a united Europe. According to the documents, Retinger was once reprimanded when he sought to raise money in Europe on his own. Apparently, Retinger and other leaders of the European Movement were treated as mere hirelings by their American sponsors. Significantly, one document advised the vice president of the European Economic Community to suppress debate concerning European union until the point at which "adoption of such proposals would become virtually inescapable." Retinger was backed by the most powerful of American secret society members. He was brought to America by Averell Harriman, another ranking CFR member who was U.S. ambassador to England. Here he visited prominent citizens such as David and Nelson Rockefeller, John Foster Dulles, and then CIA Director Walter Bedell Smith, all ranking CFR members. >From these associations came the idea of holding regular meetings of prominent businessmen, politicians, bankers, educators, media owners and managers, and military leaders from around the world. Thus began unofficial meetings between members of Europe’s elite in the 1940s. Official creation of this highly secret organization came about in the early 1950s following discussions between globalist-minded leaders. This group became known as the Bilderbergers, after the Bilderberg Hotel in Holland where they were first discovered meeting in 1954. Retinger became known as the "father of the Bilderbergers." He continued his participation in Bilderberg meetings until his death in 1960. The primary impetus for the Bilderberger meetings came from Dutch Prince Bernhard, a former member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) and an employee of Germany’s I.G. Farben in Paris. In 1937, he married Princess Juliana of the Netherlands and became a major shareholder and officer in Dutch Shell Oil, along with Britain’s Lord Victor Rothschild. After the Germans invaded Holland, the royal couple moved to London. It was here, after the war that Rothschild and Retinger encouraged Prince Bernhard to create the Bilderberger group. The prince personally chaired the group until 1976 when he resigned following revelations that he had accepted large payoffs from Lockheed to promote the sale of its aircraft in Holland. And what was the result of all these machinations to both create and control a united Europe? Today, Europeans including people in Great Britain are demonstrating against high gas and oil prices and chafing under globalist policies. Residents of France, fearful of losing their traditions and culture, are bridling against the European Union while the new Euro-dollar continues to lose value against American currency. But the new united Europe is providing security for Western leaders, including President Bill Clinton, who have been convicted of war crimes in Yugoslavia. On September 21, a Belgrade, Yugoslavia, district court sentenced Clinton, US Secretary of State and CFR member Madeleine Albright, and 13 other NATO leaders to 20 years in prison for the use of weapons prohibited under international law and crimes against the civilian population during last year’s air attacks on Kosovo. The convicted also included Defense Secretary William Cohen; British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Robin Cook; French President Jacques Chirac, Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine and Defense Minister Alain Richard; German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, Foreign Minister Joschka Fisher and Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping; the former and present NATO Secretaries General Javier Solana and Lord George Robertson; and the former NATO Supreme Commander in Europe, Gen. Wesley Clark. The presiding judge said arrest warrants would be issued for the convicted leaders and demonstrated a municipal-court mentality by stating that Clinton and the other leaders must pay costs of the legal proceedings within 15 days under pain of enforcement. United Press International news service reported that indictments against the Western leaders stated that 10 tons of depleted uranium shells were used at eight locations in Serbia and Montenegro, polluting the countryside in southern Serbia and causing cancers and death among the inhabitants. Some scientists have blamed depleted uranium shells for the numerous debilitating symptoms displayed by Desert Storm veterans known as "Gulf War Syndrome". They also accused NATO of dropping a large quantity of cluster bombs that killed and injured civilians. Unsurprisingly, reports on the trial results were barely mentioned in the Western media and the response from Washington has been an unconcerned silence, despite the fact that it was the United States which set the precedent for war crimes trials after World War II. Apparently, it has been once again established that the victors get to determine who was right and who was wrong in any conflict. And the American-backed European Union provides a safe buffer from any determination of wrongdoing by non-members while herding member nations into the New World Order.
