power, they can control any central authority. Over the years, they have
masked this creep of socialism by distracting appeals to nationalism.
Americans are constantly reminded that the United States is God’s gift to
the world, the epitome of freedom and democracy. Patriotism has been
used to fan the flames of nationalism among Americans. Today, anyone
who criticizes foreign policy, overseas military interventions, or even ques-
tions national policies opens themselves to charges of being unpatriotic.
It is possible that the United States is indeed becoming the Fourth Re-
ich, the continuation of a philosophy of National Socialism thought to
have been vanquished more than half a century ago. Such a concept may
seem absurd to those who cannot see past the rose- colored spin, hype, and
disinformation poured out daily by the corporate mass media, most of
which is owned by the same families and corporations that supported the
Nazis before World War II.
Many today describe what they see as “neo-Nazism,” the movement to
revive National Socialism. But this is a misnomer. There is nothing neo, or
new, about this trend. National Socialism never died. The philosophies of
fascism are alive and active in modern America. Unfortunately, younger
generations cannot understand the nuances of differences between fas-
cism, corporate power, democracy, and a democratic republic.
While the USA helped defeat the Germans in World War II, we failed
to defeat the Nazis. Many thousands of ranking Nazis came to the United
States under a previously classified program called Project Paperclip. Many
other Nazis and war criminals set up shop in a variety of other nations,
and many traveled on passports issued by the Vatican. They brought with
them miraculous technology, such as the V-2 rockets, but they also brought
with them Nazi ideology. This ideology, based on the Illuminati premise
that the end justifi es the means, includes unprovoked wars of aggression
and curtailment of individual liberties, and has gained sway in “the land
of the free and the home of the brave.”
Ranking Nazis, along with their young and fanatical protégés, used the
loot of Europe to create corporate front companies in many countries, in-
cluding Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, and Argentina. More than two
hundred fronts were created just in Switzerland, that banking hub that con-
tinued to handle Nazi money before, during, and aft er the war. Utilizing
