PREFACE

AspotlightwascastonmanypreviouslyunknownhistoricaleventsbytherevelationsofWilliamTompkins,abrilliantyoungnaval recruitwhobecameacareeraerospaceengineer.Amonghisnotablelistofdisclosureswas that theUSNavyhadestablisheda topsecretespionageprogramfrom1942 to1946, with approximately 30 spies embedded within Nazi Germany’s top aerospace facilities andcompanies.He also reported thatNaziGermanyhad secretly developedup to 30prototype spacecraftusingantigravityandotherexoticpropulsionsystems.Havingsatinonthedebriefingsofthespiesinhiscapacity as “Disseminator of Naval Research and Information”, Tompkins attests that many of theseprototypes were extraterrestrial in origin, and themost technologically advanced were secretly beingdevelopedwithinhiddenbasesinAntarctica.Furthermore,heclaimsthattheNaziswerehelpedbytwodifferentgroupsofextraterrestrials inachievingnumerousstunning technologicalbreakthroughs in theirnascentaerospaceindustry,whichwasrelocatedearlyontoAntarctica.

Ayetuntold storyemergeswith thisbook’s investigationof the roleofGermancompaniesandtheir U.S. partners in the funding and development of antigravity spacecraft in Nazi Germany. Thisinvolvessomeof thebiggestcompaniesinGermany,aswellasmajorU.S.corporationswhoprovidedcritical financial services and technological assistance. Some of the U.S. corporate officials directlyinvolvedinthefundingandtechnologicaldevelopmentinGermanyrosetoveryseniorpositionswithintheU.S.politicalsystemafterWorldWarII.TheyincludeAllanDulles,whobecameCIADirector(1953–1961);JohnFosterDulles,whoascendedto theroleofSecretaryofState(1953-1959);andPrescottBush, who came to be a U.S. Senator (1952 to 1963), and is widely remembered as the father andgrandfather of two futureU.S. Presidentswhowould enthusiastically continue the legacy of Prescott’spolicies.Finally,wehave theRockefeller brotherswhoprovided important corporate support toNaziGermany, and became a prominent part of the Eisenhower administration through Nelson who filledvariousseniorpositions.

Thesemen,alongwithotherU.S.corporate/governmentofficials,aredirectlyimplicatedinaidingthe success of specificGerman companies both prior to and afterWorldWar II, and gaining them thefinancial and international corporate support necessary for the building of a secret space program inAntarctica.Perhapsmostalarmingisthattheseprominentofficialsmadeitpossibleforapost-WorldWarII agreement tobe reachedbetween theEisenhowerAdministrationandaGermanbreakawaygroup inAntarcticawhichcametoestablishthevisionofaFourthReich;whosepowerandinfluenceextendstopresentday.

All the resources and manpower of the U.S. military-industrial complex were hence madeavailable for a significant expansion of the German space program, whereby it could become aninterplanetary colonial power capable of deploying significantmilitary resources outside of our solarsystem in support of their extraterrestrial allies. Furthermore, it made possible the development of atransnationalcorporatespaceprogram,whosepowerandinfluenceexceededthemilitaryspaceprogramsestablishedbytheNavyandAirForcerespectivelywithintheU.S.

In thefollowingchapters, IwilldetailandexposehowGermansecretsocietiesandcompaniescollaboratedinbuildingtheirfirstprototypespacecrafts,andhowtheseledtothefullyoperationalandweaponized spacecraft in Antarctica. Key elements of this story include the Nazi capital flight thatfundedthesesecrettechnologicaldevelopmentsevenafterthecollapseofHitler’sThirdReich,andhowthe spacecraft fromAntarctica first defeated aU.S. Naval expedition sent out to find and destroy the

GermanAntarcticabasesin1946/1947,andlater,inastunningdisplayofpowerflewoverWashington,DC in July 1952 to intimidate the Truman administration into beginning secret negotiations.A pivotalmomentinhistoryresultedwiththeagreementbetweenthesubsequentEisenhoweradministrationandtheGermans inAntarctica, thus heralding the emergence of the FourthReich as a global superpower thatwouldremainunknowntothemajorityoftheworld’spopulation.

I next follow the telling trail of the extensive use of slave labor thatwas first adopted by thepoliticalleadersandcorporationsbuildingthespaceprograminGermanyduringWWII,whichostensiblycontinuedinAntarctica.ThisegregiouspracticewasthenadoptedbyU.S.companiesthatpartneredwiththeGermansinAntarcticatodevelopmoreadvancedspacecraft,whichinturnwouldbeusedfordeepspaceoperationsandtoevenestablishcolonieswithinthesolarsystem.

Theintriguingconnectionbetweenthe1950’sSpaceBrothersphenomenonandtheGermanSpaceProgramsoutofAntarcticwillbeexaminedinchapterseven.Importantly,PresidentJohnF.Kennedywasaware of the U.S. agreement with the German Antarctica space colony. His attempt to assert directPresidential authorityover these secretagreementsand the technologies they involvedbecameadirectfactorleadingtohisassassination,whichwillbedivulgedindetailinchaptereight.

Of the many German companies that helped build Nazi Germany’s secret space program(s),Siemensstandsoutas themostsignificant,aswillbediscussed inchapternine. Itwasbyfar themostsuccessful German company across a wide spectrum of research and development projects related tomultiple components of antigravity spacecraft, and prototype craft. These spacecraft prototypes wereeventually redeployed to Antarctica, along with technologies from Siemens’ subsidiaries and otherGerman companies that had successfully built key components for space faring vehicles. Based on itsoverallsuccessinachievingadvancedbreakthroughs,strategicbusinesspartneringandacquiringamplefunding, Siemens was able to play a leading role in coordinating German corporate construction ofmultiplespacecraftinAntarctica.

Siemenswas also implicated inmanaging the slave labor component of theGermanAntarcticaprogram, thereby continuing the corporate policy that it had established in Nazi Germany under theencouragementoftheNaziregime.ThiscontinueddecadesafterWorldWarIIended,andledtoSiemenssecretlymanufacturingbillionsofRFIDtrackingchipsinthe1980’stoallegedlytracktheslavelaborersused in their German-U.S. Corporate Space Program that by then had established large operations inAntarctica,andalsoontheMoon,Marsandelsewhereinthesolarsystem.Inaddition,Siemensandothercorporations working in the German-U.S. corporate space program (aka, Interplanetary CorporateConglomerate),arelinkedtotheabductionofhumansusedinagalacticslavetradewithextraterrestrialcivilizations. Remote and with perilous conditions, Antarctica would become a key outpost for thisburgeoningslavetrade.

Chapter 10 identifies how the originalGerman Space Program and the transnational corporatespace program it spawned are kept safely secret and secure under the depths of Antarctic ice. Fewscientists and visitors to Antarctica ever witness anything that makes them suspect what is reallyhappeningunderthemassivefrozenexpanse.Thosewhodowitnessanomalousevents,suchasBrian,aretiredNavyaircraftengineer,aredebriefedtoneverrevealwhattheysaw.Thosebraveenoughtoignoresuch warnings and step forward as whistleblowers, which Brian did, are then later threatened bystrangerstokeepsilent.

In addition to the Antarctica revelations ofWilliam Tompkins, we also have the testimony ofCoreyGoode,whosaysheservedina“20andback”tourofdutyintheUSNavy’ssecretspaceprogram,SolarWarden.HisclaimsofservinginSolarWarden,andhavingextensivecontactwithmultiplegroupsofextraterrestrials,wereextensivelyexaminedinthefirstvolumeofthisSecretSpaceProgramsSeries.[1]

In order to assist the reader in understanding the different space programs that have allegedly beendevelopedaccordingtoGoode,I’veincludedareferencediagramdevelopedbyaerospaceengineerandformerNASAemployee,ThomasL.Keller,summarizingthetestimonyofGoode.Inordertobetterfollowtheinformationinthisbookwhendifferentspaceprogramsarediscussed,Irecommendreadersrefertothisdiagram.

TheEnigmaticThuleSociety:Antigravity,Hitler&theGermanNavy

ThuleSocietySponsorsAntigravitySpacecraftR&D

Thehistoricrootsofthefirstsecretspaceprogramanditsgenesiscanbetracedbacktotheearlyyearsof theWeimarRepublic.At theendof theFirstWorldWar in1919, anumberofGermansecretsocieties began collaborating in the development of flying saucer prototypes based on the designsreceived through the telepathic communications of an unusually beautiful and highly skilled psychicmedium,MariaOrsic.When ina full trancestate, sheclaimed tobe incommunicationwitha rangeofotherworldly beings.Among thosewere a groupofAryanorNordic-looking extraterrestrials from theAldebaranstarsystemwhowantedtoassisthumanitytodevelopspacecraftcapableofinterstellarflight.Orsic reported their intention in such an endeavor would raise human consciousness and acceleratehumanity’sevolutionasaspeciesinthegalacticcommunity.

Using automatic writing, Orsic wrote numerous pages of what appeared to be technicalinformationintwoforeignlanguages,thoughshedidnotrecognizeonelanguageatall.Anotherprominentpsychic,“Sigrun”,assistedinunderstandingthecontentofthewritingbygettingclearmentalimagesofaflyingsaucercraft.OrsicandSigrunconcludedthattheinformationrevealedhowtobuildaspaceship.

Figure2.AutomaticwritingbyMariaOrsiccontainingSumerianandTemplarlanguages.

Soon after, Orsic and Sigrun met with members from the Thule Society (Thule Gessellshaft),

whichaftertheFirstWorldWarhadbecomeGermany’smostpowerfulsecretsociety,notablycomprisedofaristocratsandleadingoccultistsoftheday.[2]Theywereabletoidentifythesecondunknownlanguagein the automatic writing as ancient Sumerian. Experts were brought in to translate Orsic’s automaticwriting. The translation confirmed Sigrun’s mental images – it was in fact technical instructions forbuilding a revolutionary type of engine that could power a spacecraft.[3] Orsic and supportive Thulesocietymembersarrangedforvariousscientiststolookatthetranslatedinformationtodeterminewhetheritwasscientificallyfeasible.

Orsic was enthusiastically supported by the Thule Society due to its member’s belief in theexistence of an advanced far northern (now subterranean) civilization described inGreek andRomanlegendsasHyperborea,whoseancientcapitalwas“UltimaThule”.InapreservedfragmentbytheGreekhistorian,DiodorusSiculus(1stcenturyBC),hewritesaboutthisancientcivilization:

Nowforourpart,sincewehaveseenfit tomakementionof theregionsofAsiawhichlietothenorth,wefeelthatitwillnotbeforeigntoourpurposetodiscussthelegendaryaccountsoftheHyperboreans.Ofthosewhohavewrittenabouttheancientmyths,HecataeusandcertainotherssaythatintheregionsbeyondthelandoftheCeltsthereliesintheoceananislandnosmallerthanSicily.Thisisland,the

account continues, is situated in thenorth and is inhabitedby theHyperboreans,whoarecalledby thatnamebecause theirhome isbeyond thepointwhence thenorthwind(Boreas)blows;andtheislandisbothfertileandproductiveofeverycrop,andsinceithasanunusuallytemperateclimateitproducestwoharvestseachyear…And the kings of this city and the supervisors of the sacred precinct arecalledBoreadae,sincetheyaredescendantsofBoreas,andthesuccessiontothesepositionsisalwayskeptintheirfamily.[4]

TheBoreadaewerepurportedtobegiantkings,around10feettallbyclassicalscholars.[5]ThuleSocietymembersbelievedthattheHyerboreansweretheprogenitorsoftheAryan/Germanicrace,andtheyexisttothispresentday,hiddenawayintheEarth’sinterior.

James and Suzanne Pool, authors ofWho Financed Hitler, describe the powerful aristocraticmemberswhofinancedandbelongedtotheThuleSociety:

Outwardly, thismysteriousgrouppassed as a literary circledevoted to studyingancient German history and customs... The Munich branch had been financedduring thewarbyaBaronRudolfvonSebottednorff,a shadowy individualwhoenlisted over 250 members from the city and 1,500 throughout Bavaria. Thesignificanceofthemembership,however,wasnottobefoundinitsquantitybutitsquality.Amongthegroup’smemberswerelawyers,judges,universityprofessors,policeofficials, aristocraticmembersof the royalentourageof theWittelsbachs,leadingindustrialists,surgeons,physicians,scientists,aswellasrichbusinessmenliketheproprietoroftheelegantFourSeasonsHotelinMunichwherethesocietyhaditsheadquarters.[6]

Itisclaimedthatasearlyas1917,OrsicmetwithSebottendorfandthreeotherThuleSocietymembersinVienna to discuss occult matters associated with her telepathic communications.[7] Based on theenthusiastic support she received, Orsic subsequently moved to Munich in 1919 to work withSebottendorfandtheThuleSociety.

Thule Society leaders believed Orsic, and others like her, would offer important clues tounderstand a mysterious force called “Vril”, a force that could be harnessed by individuals withsufficientlydevelopedmentalandpsychicabilities.Suchbeliefswereverycommonamongoccultgroupsandsecretsocietiesinothernationsaswell,asexemplifiedinEdwardBulwerLytton’s1871book,Vril:TheComingRace.

Thenovelcentersonayoung,independentlywealthytraveler(thenarrator),whoaccidentallyfindshiswayintoasubterraneanworldoccupiedbybeingswhoseemtoresembleangelsandcall themselvesVril-ya.Theherosoondiscovers that theVril-ya are descendants of an antediluvian civilizationwho live in networks ofsubterranean caverns linkedby tunnels. It is a technologically supportedUtopia,chief among their tools being the "all-permeating fluid" called "Vril", a latentsource of energy that its spiritually elevated hosts are able to master throughtrainingoftheirwill,toadegreewhichdependsupontheirhereditaryconstitution,giving them access to an extraordinary force that can be controlled atwill. Thepowers of the will include the ability to heal, change, and destroy beings and

things; thedestructivepowers inparticular areawesomelypowerful, allowingafew young Vril-ya children to wipe out entire cities if necessary. It is alsosuggestedthattheVril-yaarefullytelepathic.[8]

Those races which could sufficiently evolve in developing their inherent psychicabilitiesandtechnologieswouldbecomesuitablepartnersfortheemergingVril-yawhowouldinevitablyestablishglobaldomination.

While Lytton’s bookwas published as awork of fiction,many occultists widely viewed it asfactuallybased,andderivedfromancienttextsdescribingoneormorehiddenantediluviancivilizations.Lytton’sstatusasaprominentmemberoftheRosicrucianSociety,whichhassecretlystudiedancienttextsand encouraged members to develop higher consciousness and occult abilities, no doubt influencedwidespreadbeliefinthefactualaccuracyofVril:TheComingRace.

Thosewhohaddevelopedsuchinherentpsychicabilitieswouldnotonlypossessgreatpowerandrise to leadership positions, butwould also be able to find and use incredibly advanced technologieshiddenallovertheplanet.Someofthesehiddentechnologiesinvolveddetaileddesignsofcraftcapableof space travel, which Thule Society members believed had first been developed by the ancientHyberborean civilization. Importantly, these technologies were used by the hidden civilizations in theEarth’sinteriorwhoweredestinedtoemergeonedayontheplanet’ssurface.

In order to understand the role of the Thule Society in the creation of the Nazi Party and itsevolution,avitalbooktoreferenceisTheMorningoftheMagiciansbyFrenchauthors,LouisPauwelsandJacquesBergier.TheypointoutinthebeginningthatThuleSocietymembersbelievedthat:

…notallthesecretsofThulehadperished.BeingsintermediatebetweenmanandotherintelligentbeingsfromBeyondwouldplaceatthedisposaloftheInitiatesareservoirofforceswhichcouldbedrawnontoenableGermanytodominate theworldagainandbe thecradleof the raceofSupermenwhichwould result from

Consequently, Thule Societymembers deemed it critical to establish an alliance with the Inner Earth(Hyperborean)beingswhoweredestinedtoemergeinforceupontheplanet’ssurface:

AlliancescouldbeformedwiththeMasteroftheWorldortheKingofFearwhoreignsoveracityhiddensomewhereintheEast.Thosewhoconcludeapactwillchange the surface of the Earth and endow the human adventure with a newmeaning formany thousandsofyears. . .Theworldwill change: theLordswillemergefromthecenterof theEarth.Unlesswehavemadeanalliancewiththemand become Lords ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on thedungheapthatwillnourishtherootsoftheNewCitiesthatwillarise.[11]

ThisledtoPauwelsandBergier’spivotalconclusionthattheThuleSociety“tookonitstruecharacterasa society of Initiates in communion with the Invisible, and became the magic center of the Nazimovement.”[12] Inshort, theyconsidered theThuleSociety tobe the“secretdirectingagentof theThirdReich.”[13]

TheThuleSociety enthusiastically supportedOrsic and the group of young ladies she gatheredaroundherself inMunichwhowerealsopsychicallygifted.This is theperiodwhenOrsiccreated the“AlldeutscheGesellschaftfürMetaphysik”(Pan-GermanSocietyforMetaphysics)thatwaslaterrenamedtheVrilSociety (SocietyofVrilerinnenWomen).[14]Anothernamechange apparentlyoccurred in1941when Hitler outlawed secret societies. Orsic registered the society as a business, named"Antriebstechnische Werkstätten" (Vril Propulsion Workshops).[15] These psychically gifted womendedicatedthemselvestodevelopingtechniquesforcommunicatingwithotherworldlybeings,andlearnedhowtoharnesstheVrilforceforpsychicpurposesandspaceflight.Orsicherselfwasdeeplydedicatedtopromotinggreaterawarenessofhumanity’slatentspiritualpotentialandcosmicconnections.

James and Suzanne Pool describe the importance ofmaintaining pureGermanic bloodlines forThule Societymemberswhose primary taskwas to rediscover the glories of the ancientHyperboreancivilizationestablishedbytheirdistantancestors:

Onlythosewhocouldprovetheirracialpurityforatleastthreegenerationswereadmittedtothisorganization,whosemottowas:RememberthatyouareaGerman!Keepyourbloodpure….Likemanyothervolkisch(racial,nationalistmovementsinGermany), theostensibleobjectiveof theThuleSocietywastheestablishmentofaPan-GermanicstateofunsurpassedpowerandGrandeur.[16]

Other German secret societies like the “Die Herren vom schwarzen Stein” (“The Lords of the BlackStone”) shared similar esoteric beliefs, and therefore, backed Orsic’s exotic spacecraft developmentprogram. The necessary funding and scientific expertisewere subsequently found to cultivate the firstworkingprototypesbasedonthedesignsreceivedbyOrsic.

Professor Winfried Schumann, Director of the Electrophysical Laboratory from the TechnicalUniversityofMunich(1924-1961),wasamemberoftheThuleSocietyandwastaskedtobuildOrsic’s

firstcraft.[17]Schumannwasanexpertinhighenergyplasmaandhighvoltageelectrostatics,bothofwhichwerekeyelementsinthedevelopmentofexoticpropulsionsystemsfortheproposedspacecraft.

IthasbeendocumentedthatSchumanninvestigatedthefreeenergydeviceoftheGermaninventor,HansColer (akaKohler).This devicewould eventually generate sufficient electric energy to power asubmarine, and later a spacecraft.During the 1920’s, theGermanNavywas actively researching newpropulsionsystemsforitsfuturegenerationofU-boats,whichwerebeingsecretlyassembledoutsideofGermany.In1925,theGermanNavyhadarrangedforSchumanntoevaluatethe“ColerDevice”,despitethe German patent office rejecting Coler’s patent application. A report by a British Intelligence Sub-CommitteecitesSchuman’senthusiasticsupportoftheColerDeviceasaneffectivemeansofgeneratinga“newsourceofenergy”:

After the present examination, carried through as carefully as [possible], Imustsurmise thatwe have to face the exploitation of a new source of energywhosefurtherdevelopmentscanbeofanimmenseimportance.Theapparatuswasvisibleandaccessibleinallitsessentialparts.Theinventoragreedquitewillinglytoeachtrialinsofaras,accordingtohisstatement,noharmcouldbedonetotheworkingof the apparatus. I do not believe in a deception. I deem it expedient to put theapparatustoafurthertest,andIbelievethatafurtherdevelopmentoftheapparatusand an assistance, given to the inventor, will prove justified and of greatimportance.[18]

It’s worth noting that three years after Schumann had tested the Coler device, U.S. inventorThomasTownsendBrownwasawardedaBritishpatentforanelectrograviticdevicethatwaspurportedto have developed a new form of propulsion.[19] In a subsequent 1929 paper, Brown described howEinstein’s efforts to develop a unified field theory had inspired him to find a fundamental connectionbetweenmatter,gravityandelectricity.

Thereisadecidedtendencyinthephysicalsciencestounifythegreatbasiclawsand to relate, by a single structureormechanism, such individualphenomenaasgravitation, electrodynamics and even matter itself. It is found that matter andelectricityareverycloselyrelatedinstructure.Inthefinalanalysismatterlosesitstraditional individualityandbecomesmerelyan "electrical condition." In fact, itmight be said that the concrete body of the universe is nothing more than anassemblage of energy which, in itself, is quite intangible. Of course, it is self-evident that matter is connected with gravitation and it follows logically thatelectricityislikewiseconnected.Theserelationsexistintherealmofpureenergyandconsequentlyareverybasic innature. Inall reality they constitute the truebackboneof theuniverse. It isneedless to say that the relations arenot simple,andfullunderstandingoftheirconceptsiscomplicatedbytheoutstandinglackofinformationandresearchontherealnatureofgravitation.[20]

It iscertain thatSchumannwouldhavebeenawareofTownsend-Brown’sdevice,and the radicalnewtheories that underscored it. Combining the scientific breakthroughs behind the Coler device and theTownsendBrownelectrograviticsdevice,SchumannhadthescientificmeansforbuildingtheenergyandpropulsionsystemsforfutureGermansubmarines,andmorenotably,spacecraft.

ThuleSocietyChoosesHitlertoleadaPan-GermanicWorkersMovement

The rise ofAdolfHitlerwasmade possible by the Thule Societywhich secretly backed him.ProminentThuleSocietymembers had sponsored the creation of theGermanWorkersParty espousingnationalist ideals in order to prevent theworking class from falling under the influence of the rapidlygrowingCommunistmovement.

Unlikemost other conservative nationalists, theThuleSocietywas aware of thedangerspresentedbythewideninggapbetweentheofficerclassandtheworkers.Itbecameoneof thesociety’sprimaryobjectives tobring theworkingmanbackintothenationalcamp….GiventheexistingsentimentsofclasshostilitytheThuleprogramwouldbeautomaticallyrejectedbythemassesifproposedbysomeoneofaprivilegedclass.[21]

Drexler,however,lackedtheorganizational,oratoricalandcharismaticskillsnecessarytobuildup membership for a large workers party espousing a pan-Germanic agenda. Fatefully, the necessaryleaderwasfoundwhenayoungGermanArmyspyattendedoneoftheGermanWorkersParty’smeetings,asthelateJimMarrswritesinhisbook,RiseoftheFourthReich:

ItwasinthissettingthatHitler,atwenty-nine-year-oldveteran,cameintocontactwithmembersofthe“ThuleGesellschaft",orThuleSociety,ostensiblyaninnocentreadinggroupdedicatedtothestudyandpromotionofolderGermanliterature.Butthe society, composed mostly of wealthy conservatives, ardent nationalists, andanti-Semites,actuallydelvedintoradicalpolitics,racemysticism,andtheoccultunder its emblem—a swastika superimposed over a sword. The society alsoservedasafrontfortheevenmoresecretiveGermanenorden,orGermanOrder,areincarnationoftheoldTeutonicKnights,whichhadbranchesthroughoutGermanypatterned after Masonic lodges. It is believed that these lodges carried on theagendaoftheoutlawedBavarianIlluminati,withitsfundamentalmaximthat“theendjustifiesthemeans.”[23]

Marrs’viewthattheThuleSocietywasanewincarnationofthebannedBavarianIlluminatiisimportanttokeepinmindgivenitsbehind-the-scenesroleinHitler’srisetopowerandtheemergenceoftheThirdReich.

JamesandSuzannePoolassert thatHitlerwouldhavequicklylearnedthat theGermanWorkersPartywas sponsored by theThuleSociety, and had agreed toworkwith prominentThulemembers inachievingtheircommonlysharedpan-Germanic,anti-Semiticandmetaphysicalbeliefs:

[W]as Hitler aware at the time he joined that the German Workers Party wasbackedby theThuleSociety? ...ConsideringHitler’spositionasanArmyagentandhisinterestinnationalisticanti-Semiticpolitics,itislikelythathewasawareofthesociety’sbackingthisnewlittlemovementcalledtheGermanWorkersParty.

IfHitlerhadsuchinformationitwouldexplainwhyhechosethissmallpartyfromthemanyothernationalistgroupswhichwereinexistenceatthetime.[24]

Thus, the Thule Society began supporting the GermanWorkers Party, which in early 1920, at

Hitler’s insistence, changed itsname to theNationalSocialistGermanWorkersPartyorNaziParty.[25]The Thule Society organized for its Munich based newspaper, the Volkischer Beobachter (NationalObserver),“theleadingright-winganti-SemiticpaperinBavaria”,topromotethenewParty’sagenda.[26]The newspaper was soon handed over to the Nazi Party, which hadmysteriously raised the funds topurchaseit,andithenceforthbecametheofficialmouthpieceoftheNaziParty.Thiswasacriticalstepintransforming the fledgling Nazi Party into a mass movement, and for introducing Hitler to a nationalaudience.AllofthiswasachievedthroughanewspaperthatwasfirstestablishedandsecretlycontrolledbyprominentThuleSocietymembers:

WhentheThuleSocietyturnedtheVolkischerBeobachterovertotheNaziParty,itmusthavebeenspecifiedinthedealthataThulemember(Amann)wouldremainin charge of the newspaper’s funds, and moreover, would be appointed ‘Partybusiness manager’ with control over all Party money…. With Amann as Partybusiness manager, Eckart as editor of the Party newspaper, and Rosenberg asassistanteditor,theThuleSociety’sinvolvementwiththeNaziswasstrongerthanever.ButsincethebasicideologyoftheThuleSocietyandtheNaziPartywerethesame,thesemencouldbeloyalNazisaswellasmembersofthesociety.[27]

It isnot justvitalorganizationalsupportfromThuleSocietymembersthatprovedessentialforHitler’srisetopower.ItwasalsotheideasandmotifsoftheThuleSocietywhichHitlerusedtoappealtoawidepan-Germanicbase,accordingtothePool’s:

The symbol of theThuleSocietywas the swastika. Its letterheads and literaturedisplayedtheemblem,andlargeswastikaflagsdecorateditsplushmeetingroomsandoffices.Manyof the themesandslogansof thegroupwere later repeatedbyHitleralmostwordforword.[28]

In addition, Thule Society members provided vital support to Hitler in the face of policeprosecutionforhisoutspokennationalistviews.AsthePool’swrite:

Themostsignificantassistancehewouldget fromtheThuleSocietyfor the timebeing was protection from police prosecution thanks to Thule members in theBavariangovernment.[30]

AccordingtothePool’s,Hitler’sfledglingNazipartywouldeventuallyoutgrowitsThuleSocietypatron:

[A]stheGermanWorkersPartywouldbegintogrowanddevelopunderHitler’sguidance,ableandintelligentThulesympathizersandmemberswouldjoinitandbeoftheutmostvaluetoHitler.Eventuallythechildofthemasseswouldoutgrowitssecretsocietyparent.[31]

HistorianslargelyagreethattheThuleSocietybackedHitler’srisetopower,butlikethePool’s,

dismiss its long term significance given its apparent dissolution in 1925, the same year Hitler’sautobiographyMeinKampf(MyStruggle)waspublished,notablywithThuleSocietysupport.Similarly,Nicholas Goodrick-Clark, author of The Occult Roots of Nazism writes: “The Thule Society wasdissolvedaround1925whensupporthaddwindled.”[32]

ThisiswherethePool’sandGoodrick-ClarkfailtotakeintoaccounttheThuleSociety’sbehind-the-scenesroleasanoccultgroup,notapoliticallobbygroup.Ratherthandisappearingfromthenationalscene and having its members absorbed by the growing Nazi Party, the Thule Society succeeded ininfiltratingHitler’sNaziPartytoplaceprominentmembersinkeypositionstoachieveitslongtermgoals.Ascitedearlier,PauwelsandBergiersawtheThuleSocietyasthe“magiccenteroftheNazimovement“.[33]Many additional sources point to the Thule Society’s continued existence behind the scenes as anunderground,buthighlypowerful,organizationthatsilentlyworkedwithandmanipulatedHitlerlongafteritsapparentpublicdissolutionin1925.[34]

According to Ian Kershaw, author ofHitler: 1889-1936, the Thule Society’s "membership list...reads like aWho'sWho of early Nazi sympathizers and leading figures in Munich", which includedRudolfHess,AlfredRosenberg,HansFrank,JuliusLehmann,GottfriedFeder,DietrichEckart,andKarlHarrer.[35] An evenmore expansive listwas provided by the authorsDietrichBronder (Before HitlerCame) and E.R. Carmin (GuruHitler), who also enumerated many Thule Society members, some ofwhomrosetobecomepowerfulofficialsintheNaziGovernment:

BaronRudolfvonSebottendorf,GrandMasteroftheOrderGuidovonList,MasteroftheOrderJorgLanzvonLiebenfels,MasteroftheOrderAdolfHitler,“Fuhrer”,GermanChancellor,SSSuperiorRudolfHess,ViceFuhrer,andSSObergruppenfuhrerHermanGoering,ReichsmarschallandSSObergruppenfuhrerHeinrichHimmler,ReichsfuhrerSSandReichsministerAlfredRosenberg,ReichsministerandNS-ReichsleiterHansFranck,Dr.Dr.h.c.,NS-ReichsleiterandGovernorGeneralofPolandJuliusStreicher,SA-ObergruppenfuhrerandGauleiterofFrankenKarlHaushofer,Prof.Dr.,MajorGeneralret.GottfriedFeder,Prof.Dr.,SecretaryofStateret.DietrichEckart,EditorinChiefoftheVolkischerBeobachterBernhardStempfle,fatherconfessorandconfidantofHitlerTheoMorell,personalphysicianofHitlerFranzGurtner,presidentofthepolice,MunichRudolfSteiner,founderoftheanthroposophicteachingW.O.Schumann,Prof.Dr.attheTechnicalUniversityMunichTrebisch-Lincoln,occultistandtravelertotheHimalayasCountessWestrapANDMANYOTHERS...[36]

Among Thule Society members, Dietrich Eckart was of particular importance to Hitler early in hispoliticalcareerbyprovidingaccesstopowerfulpeoplewillingtofundtheNaziparty.ThePool’swrite:

Inlightofhissuccess,moreimportantmembersoftheThuleSocietybegantojointhe German Workers Party… One of them Dietric Eckart came to exert atremendously powerful personal influence on Hitler…. He gave Hitler his firstintroduction to better society and,what ismore important, to peoplewhowerefinancialbackersoftheThuleSociety.[37]

It was Eckert who made it possible for the Nazi Party to raise the necessary funds to purchase theVolkischer Beobachter newspaper, and he became its chief editor up to his death in 1923.[38] Hitlerdedicated the secondvolumeofMeinKampf toEckart, illustrating the powerful influence this leadingThuleSocietymemberhaduponhim.

It was Hess who helped Hitler in the writing of Mein Kampf, which contained many ofHaushofer’sseminalideas.[39]In1945,afterthedefeatofNaziGermany,HaushoferexplainedtohisUSArmy interrogators, “I was only able to influence [Hitler] through Hess.”[40] This was a very tellingadmission.HessinrealitywasHitler’shandleronbehalfoftheThuleSociety,arolehewouldcontinuetoplayrightupto1941,whenhewascapturedduringhisfailedpeacemissiontoScotland.Hesswaspartofanorchestratedefforttoreachapeacedealwithapro-GermanfactionintheBritisharistocracy,whichincluded prominentmembers of theRoyal Family –many ofwhomhad strong ties toThule and otherSecretSocietymemberswithintheNaziGovernment.

GermanNavalIntelligenceSupportofThuleSociety&Hitler

TheThuleSocietyhadacriticalinstitutionalallyinpromotingitspan-Germanic,anti-Semiticandmetaphysical agenda during the years of the Weimar Republic – the German Navy (Reichsmarine,renamedKriegsmarineduringWWII).From its inception, theThuleSocietyhadbeensupportedby theGermanNavyduetoitsstaunchoppositiontotheTreatyofVersailles,advocacyofGermannationalunity,anditscommitment torapidrearmament.TheGermanNavyandotherGermannationalistorganizationsrecognized that the Versailles Treaty had the effect of encouraging secessionist movements due to thehardshipsitimposed,anditconveyedtheideathatbreakawaystateswouldbeexemptedfromitsonerousprovisions. A breakup of Germany would remove it as a potential geo-political rival to Britain andFrancefordecades,andmakeeconomicrevivalthatmuchharder.

Towards the end ofWorldWar I, Bavaria had a powerful secessionist movement, whichwassupportedbytheCommunistmovement.FromApril6toMay3,1919,aBavarianSovietRepublicwasbrieflyinpower,butaftertheexecutionofeightaristocraticmembersoftheThuleSociety,theRepublicwasviolentlysuppressed.BavariansecessionismwasvehementlyopposedbytheThuleSocietyandtheGermanNavy. Thus, cooperationwas natural and inevitable between these organizations, and quicklymanifestedoncetheThuleSocietywasformedinearly1919.ThefirstevidenceforthisrevealsitselfintheNavyprovidingspaceforThulemeetings,asthePool’snote:

YetanotherpowerfulreasonfortheGermanNavy’ssupportfortheThuleSocietycomesoutoftheTreatyofVersailles,which severely limited the number of ships theNavy could own, aswell as abolishingentirefleetcategoriessuchassubmarines.Article181ofthetreatystipulated:

After theexpirationofaperiodof twomonths fromthecoming into forceof thepresent Treaty the German naval forces in commission must not exceed: 6battleshipsof theDeutschlandorLothringentype,6 lightcruisers,12destroyers,12 torpedo boats, or an equal number of ships constructed to replace them asprovidedinArticlel90.

Nosubmarinesaretobeincluded.

Allotherwarships,exceptwherethereisprovisiontothecontraryinthepresentTreaty,mustbeplacedinreserveordevotedtocommercialpurposes.[42]

InordertocircumventtheTreatyrestrictions,NavalIntelligencehadarrangedtoworkwithmajor

German companies to secretly build naval assets in foreign nations, until such time as the restrictionswereliftedandrearmamentcouldopenlyproceed.Tothisend,GermanNavalIntelligenceusedtheThuleSocietytofunnelfinancialsupporttoHitler,andwasanimportantcovertfunderoftheNazisintheirrisetopoliticalpower.

Besides the aristocrats, businessmen, and White Russians, there remained oneothergroupfromwhichHitlerreceivedmoney:NavalIntelligence….InvolvedinthiscasewasthemanwhowaslatertobecomeknownasaleaderoftheGermanresistance against Hitler (then Lieutenant Commander) Wilhelm Canaris. Sinceintelligence agencies are expert at covering up any traces of their activities, theevidence that remains is rather sketchy.However, it is enough to definitely linkHitler, the Organization Consul (a right-wing terrorist unit of former navalofficers),andfundsofNavalIntelligence.[43]

WilhelmCanaris,who, if not anoutrightmember, at least sharedmanyThuleSocietybeliefs, notonlyhelped to secretly fund Hitler with Naval Intelligence funds, but also assisted in organizing the Naziparamilitary units that were instrumental in street fighting against communists and other radical leftistgroups.[44]Canaris’roleinhelpingfundandorganizetheNaziswaslaterrewardedbyHitlerwhohadhimappointedchiefofGermanmilitaryintelligence(Abwehr)from1935to1944.

Soon after the end ofWorldWar I hostilities, GermanNaval Intelligence beganworkingwithmajorsteelcompaniessuchasThyssen,Frick,Krupp,andthegiantchemicalconglomerate,I.G.Farben(formed in1925), tosecretlydirect funds towhere theyneeded tobefor thecovertNaval rearmamentprogram.Countries such as Spain andHollandwould become important intermediaries in buildingU-boats (submarines), which would eventually be reassembled in Germany. Ian Colvin, author of abiographyonCanaris,wrote:

The German Navy would be expanded, the U-boats that Canaris had hithertohelped to lay down secretly in Spain and Holland would be assembled atHamburg, Bremen, and the Baltic ports after being prefabricated at inlandfactories.[45]

Later, I will examine how the knowledge and connections Canaris acquired in the covert building ofsubmarine components andothermilitary assets – in foreign lands usingGerman companies, and theirinternational partners and subsidiaries during theWeimarRepublic years (1919-1933) –would proveinvaluable over a decade later when bases were slated to be built in Antarctica after the first Naziexpeditionthereinearly1939.

After becoming head of Nazi Germany’s military intelligence in 1935, Canaris soon beganorchestrating a covert armament program outside of Germany, once again using leading Germancompanies and their foreign partners.However, this time the futuristic projectwould involve buildingfleetsofantigravityspacecraft;usingadvancedtechnologiesdiscoveredbyThule/Naziscientistsaroundthe world, along with the paranormal communications, and later, actual contact with differentextraterrestrialraces.

Lastly,comingbacktotheperiodimmediatelyfollowingWorldWarI,acriticalcomponentstandsout in the covert rearmament program spearheaded by the German Navy; foreign banks. These savvyinstitutionscouldfinancesuchmilitaryconstructionendeavorsoutsideofGermanywithoutanysuspicionbeingraisedover theultimatedestinationof theweaponsrelatedproductsbeingbuilt.AugustThyssen,whoownedoneofGermany’slargeststeelfirms,ThyssenAG(foundedin1891)hadopenedanumberofbanks to facilitate business interests and contracts with the Germanmilitary. Thyssen’s foreign bankswould play a key role as the intermediary in paying international contractors for the German Navy’s

covertrearmamentprogram.Notably,itwasU.S.banksandcorporationsthatplayedasignificantroleinproviding funds for August Thyssen’s banks and the German Naval Intelligence slush fund they wereassociatedwith.

CHAPTER2

AsWorldWar I drew to a tumultuous close in 1918, August Thyssen opened the Bank VoorHandelenScheepvaart,N.V. inRotterdam, theNetherlands.[46] ItwasasubsidiaryofhisBerlinbasedAugustThyssenBankofGermany,andwascreatedtobehisownpersonalbankingoperation.TheDutchbankwould provide a safeguard forThyssen and his two sons to cleverlymove significant funds at amoment’snotice,dependingontheoutcomeoftheFirstWorldWar.ThisbecameparticularlyimportantasGermanylurchedintoachaoticperiodduringthefinalstagesofthewar,thatleduptothesigningofanarmisticeendinghostilitiesonNovember11,1918.TheTreatyofVersailleswassignedbythedefeatedGermansoversevenmonthslateronJune28,1919,andmanyhardshipslaidaheadasGermanindustryattemptedrecoveryinthemidstofonerousreparationpaymentsthatledtolittleinthewayofgovernmentcontracts.

By placing funds in its Dutch bank, the Thyssen’s company was able to protect its remainingassets, recover from the devastating war losses, rebuild its steel business, support anti-communistnationalist movements, and finally play a key role in the covert rearmament of the Germanymilitary,particularly theNavy.TheThyssenfamilywholeheartedlysupported theThuleSocietyand theGermanNavy’s effort to promote a strong nationalistmovement. Hitler’s burgeoningNazi Partywas themostpromisingofallthenationalistparties,andtheThyssen’ssawopportunityinfinanciallysupportingit.

Now,AugustThyssen’s twosonswouldplaydiametricallydifferentpolitical roles inorder forthe family toprotect itself in the future from thekindof losses experienced from theFirstWorldWar.AccordingtoJohnLoftus,aformerU.S.DepartmentofJusticeNaziWarCrimesprosecutor:

AfterWorldWar I,AugustThyssenhadbeenbadlyburnedby the lossof assetsunder the harsh terms of theVersailles treaty. Hewas determined that it wouldnever happen again. One of his sons would join the Nazis; the other would beneutral.Nomatterwhowonthenextwar,theThyssenfamilywouldsurvivewiththeirindustrialempireintact.FritzThyssenjoinedtheNazisin1923;hisyoungerbrothermarriedintoHungariannobilityandchangedhisnametoBaronThyssen-Bornemisza.TheBaron laterclaimedHungarianaswellasDutchcitizenship. Inpublic, he pretended to detest hisNazi brother, but in private theymet at secretboard meetings in Germany to coordinate their operations. If one brother werethreatenedwithlossofproperty,hewouldtransferhisholdingstotheother.[47]

FritzThyssenis“rememberedasthemanwhogavemoremoneytoHitlerthananyotherindividual.”[48]Hisfirstdonationof100,000goldmarks($25,000)wasgiventotheNaziPartyafterhefirstheardHitlerspeakin1923.[49]ThyssendescribedhowhewaspersuadedbyWorldWarIGeneralErichLudendorff,formerQuartermastergeneral(thesecondmostpowerfulmilitaryofficialinallofGermany)toattendtheHitlerspeech:

"Thereisbutonehope,"Ludendorffsaidtome,"andthishopeisembodiedinthenationalgroupswhichdesireourrecovery."HerecommendedtomeinparticulartheOverlandLeagueand,aboveall, theNationalSocialistpartyofAdolfHitler.Ludendorff greatly admiredHitler. "He is the onlyman," he said, "who has anypolitical sense.Goand listen tohimoneday." I followedhis advice. I attendedseveral public meetings organized by Hitler. It was then that I realized his

oratorical gifts and his ability to lead the masses. What impressed me most,however,wastheorderthatreignedinhismeetings,thealmostmilitarydisciplineofhisfollowers.[50]

Ludendorff understood the important role nationalist movements could play in Germany’s covertrearmamentprogramandoverturningtheVersaillesTreaty.

International investors were needed to raise funds for the Thyssen family’s multiple projects,which would come to include the covert funding of Hitler’s Nazi Party. In 1922, when U.S. bankerAverell Harriman travelled to Germany and met with the Thyssen family, a bargain was struck thatinvestment opportunities could be best facilitated by jointly creating a private bank inNewYork; theUnionBankingCorporation,whichwasestablishedin1924.Harriman’spartner,GeorgeHerbertWalker(grandfatherofPresidentGeorgeHerbertWalkerBush)becamethePresidentofthenewbank.In1926,heappointedhisson-in-law,PrescottBush,tobetheVice-PresidentoftheUnionBankingCorporation.Thenewlyestablishedbank“made it easy for theThyssens tomoveassetsaround, laundermoney,concealprofitsandevadetaxes.”[51]Inturn,theUnionBankingCorporationhelpedPrescottBushamassafortunewhichheusedeffectivelyinhiscampaigntogetelectedtotheU.S.Senate,andthiswealthenabledhimtoestablish a political dynasty paving theway for a son (GeorgeH.W.Bush) and grandson (GeorgeW.Bush)tobecomefutureU.S.Presidents.

DespitetheUnionBankingCorporationhavingAmericandirectors,itsprincipalownersweretheThyssen family through its Dutch bank subsidiary, as anAugust 16, 1941 investigation into theUnionBankingCorporationconfirmed:

"UnionBankingCorporation,incorporatedAugust41924,iswhollyownedbytheBank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. MyinvestigationhasproducednoevidenceastotheownershipoftheDutchbank.MrCornelis [sic] Lievense, president of UBC, claims no knowledge as to theownershipof theBankvoorHandelbutbelieves itpossible thatBaronHeinrichThyssen,brotherofFritzThyssen,mayownasubstantialinterest."[52]

Investigatorsfurthermoreconcludedthat:“theUnionBankingCorporationhassinceitsinceptionhandledfundschieflysuppliedtoitthroughtheDutchbankbytheThysseninterestsforAmericaninvestment.”[53]WebsterTarpley,authorofGeorgeBush:TheUnauthorizedBiography,wrote:

ThusbypersonalagreementbetweenAverellHarrimanandFritzThyssenin1922,W.A.Harriman&Co. (aliasUnionBankingCorporation)would be transferringfundsbackandforthbetweenNewYorkandthe“Thysseninterests”inGermany.Byputtingupabout$400,000,theHarrimanorganizationwouldbejointownerandmanagerofThyssen’sbankingoperationsoutsideofGermany…[54]

In 1926, Fritz Thyssen took over his father’s steel company, and two years later he formed acorporate conglomerate, United Steelworks (Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG), which controlled more than75% of Germany’s iron ore reserves. Thyssen’s conglomerate, which included the newly renamedcompany from his father, August Thyssen-Hutte AG, became essential to steel production for NaziGermanyuptoandthroughoutWorldWarII,andforitscovertnavalrearmamentprogramusingforeignbanksandsubsidiariesintheNetherlands,U.S.andelsewherearoundtheworld.

Other German industrialists collaborated with the Thyssens in using foreign subsidiaries andbankstomovefundsandparticipateinthecovertrearmamentprogramspearheadedbytheGermanNavy.Among themwas Friederich Flick, who partneredwith Thyssen in setting upUnited Steelworks, andworkedthroughtheUnionBankingCompany,asWebsterTarpleydescribes:

Friedrich Flick was the major co-owner of the German Steel Trust with FritzThyssen, Thyssen’s long-time collaborator and occasional competitor…. TheFlick-Harriman partnershipwas directly supervised by Prescott Bush, PresidentBush’sfather,andbyGeorgeWalker,PresidentBush’sgrandfather.[55]

In 1926, Allen Dulles (the future Director of the CIA) joined his brother, John Foster Dulles(future Secretary of State under President Eisenhower) at the prestigious law firm, Sullivan andCromwell,which JohnFosterwasmanaging at the time. JamesSrode, author of a biography ofAllenDulles,describedthecompany’sinfluenceatthetime:

U.S.CorporationsandHitler’sRisetoPower

Hitler was chosen to be the charismatic figurehead for a pan-Germanic nationalist movementbasedontheideasofterritorialexpansionandracialsupremacyashemostclearlyenunciatedinhis1925book,MeinKempf.Underlyingthesepan-GermanicviewswastheThuleSocietybeliefthattheGermanracewasdirectlydescendedfromtheHyboborean’sandtheirgreatcivilization,andthusthemostlikelyto succeed in finding and developing the latter’s hidden ancient technologies using the Vril force,symbolizedbytheSwastika.

TheNaziPartywasvehementlyanti-communist,hostile toJewishinfluence,andopposedto thegrowing power of the labor movement. Hitler’s Nazi Party, now fully infiltrated by Thule Societymembers, aimed toworkcloselywithGerman industrialists ledby theThyssen family,whowanted torestoreGermany’smanufacturingpotentialthroughfavorableGovernmentpolicies.In1933,Thyssenledthewayinorganizingaletterby39GermanindustrialistswhichincludedfamousbusinessnamessuchasKrupp, Siemens and Bosch to call for the aging President Paul Von Hindenberg to appoint Hitler asChancellorofGermany–apositionsimilartoPrimeMinisterintheWestminstersystemofGovernment.[57]ThisledtoameetingonJanuary4,1933whereadealwasstruckbetweenHindenbergandagroupofGermanaristocrats,industrialistsandarmyofficers.[58]

On January 30, Hitler becameChancellor, albeit withminority party support, in the Reichstag(GermanParliament).HitlerimmediatelycalledfornewelectionstobeheldonMarch5,1933,aimingtoincreasethenumberofNaziPartyrepresentativesintheReichstag(only196outofatotal647),whichwas critical to his plans to expand his power as Chancellor. Thyssen once againwas instrumental insupporting Hitler and arranged for the Association of German Industrialists to donate three millionReichmarkstotheNaziPartyfortheMarchelection.

Hitlerwas successful in increasing the number ofNazi Party representatives from196 to 288.Togetherwith the 52 seats of its coalition partner, theGermanNational People’s Party, theNazis hadachievedastaunchmajorityintheReichstag.ThisopenedthepathwayforHitler’spowerasChancellorto swell. In thanks, Hitler arranged for Thyssen to be elected a Nazi member of the Reichstag andappointed him to the Council of State of Prussia, both of which were honorary positions. Thyssen’sinfluence andhis role inbringingHitler topowerwas immortalized in theAugust1933editionof theGerman magazine, AIZ, showing Thyssen pulling Hitler’s strings on behalf of German industry. TheGermancaptionreads:“Toolingod’shands.ToyinThyssen’shands.”

Figure6.GermanMagazineAIZillustratesFritzThyssen’sinfluenceoverAdolfHitlerin1933.

After having consolidated his power, Hitler quickly began cracking down on Communists, the

labormovementandtheJewishpopulation.PolicieswerepassedwhichenabledGermanCorporationstoutilize Germany’s highly skilled population at bargain basement rates. Germanmanufacturing took offwith abundantly cheap labor where workers were prevented by the government from any attempt toimproveworkerconditions through industrialactionagainst theircorporatemasters.Thyssenandothermajor German industrialists were amply rewarded for supporting Hitler’s rise to power. Mostsignificantly,Hitler’sgovernmentwasveryfavorabletointernationalcorporationsthatwantedtopartnerwithGermancompaniesinbuildinglargefactoriesthatutilizedGermany’scheaplaborforce.Onceagain,Thyssenplayedakeyroleinthisprocess.

According to author and political writer, EustaceMullens, both Allen and John Foster DullesattendedtheJanuary4,1933meetingbetweenHindenbergandGermanindustrialistsresultinginpledgedsupportforHitlersincehehadpromisedtobreakthepowerofthetradeunionmovementifhebecameChancellor.[59] Most historians dispute the Dulles brothers’ attendance at the meeting.What is knownwithout dispute, however, is that bothDulles brothers didmeetwithHitler inBerlin in themonths ofApril and May 1933, and that the German companies the brothers represented, through Sullivan andCromwell,werepartoftheindustrialistgroupthatbroughtHitlertopower.

James Srodes, one ofAllenDulles biographers, confirms thatDullesmetwithHitler inApril1933,onlyamonthaftertheelectionsthatcementedhispowerwithintheReichstag.[60]JohnFosterDullesalso attended the meeting with Hitler, which was part of a series of negotiations that culminated inagreementsreachedinMay1933betweentheirlawfirm,SullivanandCromwell,anddozensofGermancompaniesandNaziclients,asWebsterTarpleyexplains:

In May 1933, just after the Hitler regime was consolidated, an agreement wasreachedinBerlinforthecoordinationofallNazicommercewiththeU.S.A.TheHarrimanInternationalCo.,ledbyAverellHarriman’sfirstcousinOliver,wastoheadasyndicateof150firmsandindividuals,toconductallexportsfromHitlerGermanytotheUnitedStates.

This pact had been negotiated in Berlin between Hitler’s economics minister,HjalmarSchacht,andJohnFosterDulles,internationalattorneyfordozensofNazienterprises,withthecounselofMaxWarburgandKurtvonSchroeder.

Throughoutthe1930’s,JohnFosterDullesarrangeddebtrestructuringforGermanfirmsunderaseriesofdecreesissuedbyAdolfHitler.Inthesedeals,Dullesstruckabalancebetweentheinterestowedtoselected,largerinvestors,andtheneedsofthegrowingNaziwar-makingapparatusforproducingtanks,poisongas,etc.[61]

Whetherornot theDullesbrothersattended thesecret January1933meetingbetweenPresidentHindenberg and German industrialists, it is certain they would have been aware of it, and evenencourageditinordertopromotethestabilityoftheGermaneconomy.AsSrodes,writes:

[Allen Dulles] recognized that Sullivan & Cromwell had a vested interest inpreservingthestabilityoftheGermaneconomynomatterwhowasinpower;fullyone-thirdofalltheforeignbondsthatdefaultedtotheirAmericaninvestorsduringtheDepressionwereon loansmade toGermangovernmentunitsandbusinesses,bonds which the firm, and he and Foster personally, had a large hand infacilitating.[62]

Since Hitler was good for German businesses, then Hitler was good for the Dulles brothers and theinvestmentsofU.S.corporationssuchasPrescottBush’sUnionBankingCorporationinGermany.

Among themajorU.S.corporations that investedheavily inNaziGermanywas theFordMotorCompany.Infact,HenryFordwascitedbyAdolfHitlerinMeinKampfontheissueofhowtodealwiththeJewishquestion:

…only a single greatman, Ford, [who], to [the Jews'] fury, stillmaintains fullindependence...[from]thecontrollingmastersoftheproducersinanationofonehundredandtwentymillions.[63]

In1920,Fordhadarrangedforhispersonalnewspaper,theDearbornIndependent,torelease91storiesabout the “Jewish menace” which were published and distributed in a four volume set, called TheInternational Jew.[64] Famously, in a 1931 interview with a Detroit News Reporter, “Hitler said heregardedFordashis“inspiration,"explaininghisreasonforkeepingFord'slife-sizeportraitnexttohis

desk.”[65]JimMarrsexplainshowHitler’sadmirationforFordwasfullyreciprocated:

Ford became an admirer of Hitler, provided funds for the Nazis, and, in 1938,became the First American to receive the highest honor possible for a non-German:theGrandCrossoftheSupremeOrderoftheGermanEagle.[66]

TheRockefellerfamily-ledoilgiant,StandardOil,alsoinvestedheavilyinGermanythroughits

partnershipwiththeI.G.Farbenconglomerate:

In1934Germanyproducedonly300,000 tonsofnaturalpetroleumproductsandsyntheticgasoline.In1944,thankstothetransferofhydrogenationtechnologyfromStandardOilofNewJerseytoI.G.Farben,Germanyproduced6,500,000tonsofoil,85percentofwhichwassynthetic.[67]

Significantly, according to Paul Manning, a CBS news correspondent duringWorldWar II, HermannSchmitz,thePresidentofI.G.Farben,onceheldasmuchstockinStandardOilofNewJerseyasdidtheRockefellers.”[68]

OtherleadingU.S.corporationssuchasGeneralMotors,IBM(InternationalBusinessMachines)andITT(InternationalTelephoneandTelegraphCorporation)establishedsubsidiariesinNaziGermany.U.S.Banks suchas J.P.Morgan’sFirstNationalBankofNewYork, theRockefeller’sChaseNationalBankandtheNationalCityBankofNewYorkbackedtheU.S.corporateinvestmentsinGermany,playingamajor role in the rapid growth inGermanmanufacturing industries and themilitary re-armament ofGermany.[69]

CharlesHigham,authorofTradingwiththeEnemy,describeshowanotherprominentU.S.Bankthat directly supportedNaziGermany involved theDulles brothers, and even hadAllenDulles on itsBoardofDirectors:

[I]n1936,theJ.HenrySchroederBankofNewYorkhadenteredintoapartnershipwith the Rockefellers. Named Schroeder, Rockefeller and Company, InvestmentBankers,thefirmbecamewhatTimemagazinecalledtheeconomicboosterof“theRome-BerlinAxis.”“AveryRockefellerowned42percentofSchroeder,”Highamreported. “Their lawyerswere JohnFosterDulles andAllenDulles of SullivanandCromwell.AllenDulles(lateroftheOfficeofStrategicServices)wasontheboardofSchroeder.”[70]

In 1937, U.S. Ambassador to Germany William E. Dodd explained how close America’s

corporateelitewastoNaziGermany:

AcliqueofU.S. industrialists ishell-bent tobringa fasciststate tosupplantourdemocraticgovernmentandisworkingcloselywiththefascistregimeinGermanyand Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity inmy post inBerlin towitness howclosesomeofourAmericanrulingfamiliesaretotheNaziregime.[71]

Highamdescribes this transnational cliqueof industrialists andnational elites that sharedFascist/Naziidealsas“TheFraternity”.[72]TheFraternity included secret societies that sharedbelief systemswhich

transcendednationalaffiliations.ThuleSocietyideasaboutanancientHyperboreanracefromwhichtheAryanracedescended,andtheimportanceofmaintainingracialpurityandmasteringtheVrilforceweresharedbyTheFraternity,whichtodayiscalledbyotherappellations,suchas;theCabal,Illuminati,the13rulingblood-lineFamilies,etc.

Industrialists and elites formed a close alignment of interests across international borders,ignoringdemocraticidealsandlawspassedbyrepresentativedemocracies.Evenduringthetimeofwar,TheFraternitymaintainedtheirmutualtradedespitelegislation,makingamockeryofnationalparliamentsandrulingssuchastheTradingwiththeEnemyAct,whichhadbeenpassedintheU.S.in1917.Despitesimilar legislation in other countries, The Fraternity could move profits across borders to maximizeearningsfrombothsides,andprotecttheirinvestmentsbynationalappropriation.[73]U.S.companieswereable to legally do this through a little known general license, authorized by President Roosevelt, thatcould be granted through the U.S. Treasury to companies, thereby, allowing them to circumvent theTradingWiththeEnemyAct.

Highamdescribes theextent towhichU.S.corporationsworkedwith theirGermanpartnersnotonlyleadinguptoWorldWarII,butalsounconscionablythroughoutitaswell,duetothelicensesgrantedtothem:

TothisdaythebulkofAmericansdonotsuspectTheFraternity.Thegovernmentsmothered everything, during and even (inexcusably) after thewar.WhatwouldhavehappenedifmillionsofAmericanandBritishpeople,strugglingwithcouponsandlinesatthegasstations,hadlearnedthatin1942StandardOilofNewJerseymanagersshippedtheenemy’sfuelthroughneutralSwitzerlandandthattheenemywasshippingAlliedfuel?SupposethepublichaddiscoveredthattheChaseBankinNazioccupiedParis,afterPearlHarborwasdoingmillionsofdollars’worthofbusinesswiththeenemywiththefullknowledgeoftheheadofficeinManhattan?OrthatFordtruckswerebeingbuilt for theGermanoccupationtroopsinFrancewithauthorizationfromDearborn,Michigan?OrthatColonelSosthenesBehn,thehead of the internationalAmerican telephone conglomerate ITT, flew fromNewYorktoMadridtoBerne,duringthewartohelpimproveHitler’scommunicationssystemsandimprovetherobotbombsthatdevastatedLondon?OrthatITTbuilttheFocke-WulfsthatdroppedbombsonBritishandAmericantroops?OrthatcrucialballbearingswereshippedtoNaziassociatedcustomersinLatinAmericawiththecollusion of the vice chairman of theU.S.War ProductionBoard in partnershipwith Goring’s cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperatelyshort of them?Or that such arrangements were known about inWashington andeithersanctionedordeliberatelyignored?[74]

Roosevelt had passed his presidential edict authorizing licenses to circumvent the Trading with theEnemyActonlysixdaysaftertheDecember7,1941PearlHarborattack.[75]

Figure7.GeneralLicensescouldbegrantedtoCompaniestradingwithNaziGermanyduringWWII.

Roosevelt’sedict,accordingtoHigham,wasdonetobenefit the interestsofTheFraternity,and

servednogenuinenationalsecuritypurpose.However,thereisanotherplausibleexplanationtoconsiderforwhysuchlicensesweregranted.TheywouldinvaluablyallowUSNavyandArmyspiestoinfiltratekey transnational corporations in Nazi Germany to gather intelligence on their advanced technologyprograms,justasWilliamTompkinsclaimsregardingtheintelligenceprogramheparticipatedinatNavalAir Station, San Diego, from 1942 to 1946. In a personal interview, Tompkins confirmed that U.S.companieswereindeedusedasameansofinfiltratingtheNazisaerospaceindustries.[76]

In thecaseof the InternationalTelegraphandTelephonecompany(ITT),whichworkedcloselywithU.S.military intelligence, itwas among theU.S. companies granted licenses to continueworkingwithAxispowersrightupto1945,asHighamwrites:

ITTwasallowedtocontinueitsrelationswiththeAxisandJapanuntil1945,eventhough thisconglomeratewas regardedasanofficial instrumentofUnitedStatesIntelligence…[I]nthecaseofITT,perhapsthemostflagrantofthecorporationsinits outright dealings with the enemy, Hitler and his postmaster general, thevenerableWilhelmOhnesorge,strovetoimpoundtheGermanendofthebusiness.But even they were powerless in such a situation: the Gestapo leader ofcounterintelligence, Walter Schellenberg, was a prominent director andshareholder of ITT by arrangement with NewYork – an even Hitler dared notcrosstheGestapo.[77]

The extent of ITT operations in Nazi Germany covered numerous sectors of the aviation industry,providingNavyspiesampleopportunitiestoinfiltrateGermanindustryasTompkinsattestshappened:

ITT,throughitssubsidiaryC.LorenzAG,owned25%ofFocke-Wulf,theGermanaircraft manufacturer, builder of some of the most successful Luftwaffe fighteraircraft. In the 1960’s, ITT Corporation won $27 million in compensation fordamage inflictedon its share of theFocke-Wulf plant byAlliedbombingduringWorld War II. In addition, Sutton’s book uncovers that ITT owned shares ofSignalbau AG, Dr. Erich F. Huth (Signalbau Huth), which produced for theGermanWehrmacht radar equipment and transceivers in Berlin, Hanover (laterTelefunkenfactory)andotherplaces.[78]

DuringWorldWarII,Focke-Wulf, likemanyaviationcompanies,hadtomoveitsmanufacturing

Well after the endofWWII,Focke-Wulf rose as a prominent aviation company inEurope, andplayedasignificantroleintheformationoftheEuropeangiantinAerospace;Airbus.Duringthisentireperiod, Focke-Wulf worked closely with ITT, which became an important U.S. collaborator in thedevelopmentofasecretspaceprograminAntarctica.Indeed,aswillbediscussedinchapter14,ITTwasamong the first, if not THE first U.S. defense contractor to work in Antarctica. This is not all thatsurprisingsinceaccordingtoTompkins,ITTwasa“Reptiliancompany”,andHitlerhadsecretlyreachedagreementswiththeReptilianstomoveGermanresourcestoAntarctica,aswillbediscussedindetailinchapter four.[79] ITT was a key company in the worldwide Fraternity described by Higham, whereloyaltiestranscendednationalallegiancestopursueaglobaleliteagenda.[80]

IntheleaduptoWorldWarII,whileU.S.industriesandbankerswerefloodingintoNaziGermanytosign merger deals, establish subsidiaries and build massive new factories, Hitler learned about thespacecraftprototypesthathadbeenfundedbytheThuleandotherGermansecretsocieties.TheGermanNavy, through its close collaboration with Thule Society officials, was aware of its research anddevelopment of such promising spacecraft technologies bearing many similarities to submarineconstruction.Thesameslushfund,establishedbyWilhelmCanarisforsecretsubmarineconstruction,wasalsoavailableforsuchexoticresearch,whichtheGermanNavywasinthebestpositiontosecretlyfundanddevelop.Asmentionedinchapter1,itwastheGermanNavythathadarrangedforscientistssuchasProfessorSchumanntoevaluate thefreeenergydevicedevelopedbyHansColer,andsecretlydevelopworkingprototypesforsubmarineconstruction.

LeadingGerman industrialists andNazi ideologuesagreedwith the ideaofdeveloping theVrilspacecraftprototypes.TheNaziSS,ledbyHeinrichHimmler,wouldspearheadtheefforttoweaponizesuch advanced technologies for the comingwar effort.At the same time,Hitlerwould provide all thetechnical and scientific assistance that was necessary for the German secret societies to build theirinterplanetaryandinterstellarspacefleets.[81]

What is critical for understanding the development of spacecraft development programs in theWeimarRepublicand inHitler’sNaziGermany, is the roleof leadingGermancompanies, theGermanNavy,andsecretsocietiesintheirrespectivecollaborationtofundandbuildthesefleets.WiththeriseoftheNazigovernment,theThuleandotherGermansecretsocietieswouldnowhavetheunfetteredsupportof thestate ingaining thebestscientificexpertiseand largescalefundingfor these topsecretprojects,alongwiththesupportofleadingGermancompanies.Itisimportanttokeepinmindthatduringthisentireperiod,thecloserelationshipbetweenGermanandU.S.companiesmeantthat“TheFraternity”wasalsoverylikelyeitherapartof,orinformedabout,theseevents.And,itisveryprobablethatU.S.companies,such as ITT, began collaboratingwithTheFraternity in developing spacecraft as early as theWeimarRepublicyears!

Inearly1939,theGermansecretsocietieshaddecidedthattheirspaceprogramwouldrelocatetoAntarctica, whose remoteness and deep cavern system under two miles of ice, accessible only bysubmarines,wouldprovideall thatwasnecessary tobuildsuchaprogramwithoutpossibledisruptionfrom the impending war. In the midst of these secret efforts, the role of U.S. companies must beconsideredasasignificantfactorinthedevelopmentoftwoGermanspaceprograms–theweaponizationprogram in Nazi Germany, and the interplanetary/interstellar program in Antarctica. As alreadymentioned, the U.S. corporate involvement in Germany’s burgeoning aerospace programs enabled animportantbackdoorforUSNavyspiestopenetratethesetopsecretoperations,andreportbacktoNavalAirStation,SanDiego,aboutwhatwasreallyhappeninginNaziGermanyandAntarctica.

Chris Pash, areporterwithBusinessInsiderAustralia,wroteaboutthescientists’findings:

The existence of extensive networks of mysterious underground caverns heated by nearby
