“Accordingly, the [Nixon] Administration needed to exercise care in its handling of extremist groups.”35 As the memo makes explicit, there is no doubt that Nazis were the “extremist groups” that were so “important” to the success of the Republican party’s election campaigns.”

“Although Bush is not mentioned, it is clear from Sadleir’s memo that the Republican leadership had taken precautions to hide its campaign association with Fascist groups, particularly the Croatians. Sadleir was told by his State Department counterpart that “prominent” federal, state and municipal American politicians were discreetly advised by the Nixon administration to stay away from Croatian gatherings on April 10, because that was the day they celebrated Hitler’s establishment of Ante Pavelić’s “puppet State of Croatia,” an artificial nation under the complete control of Nazi Germany.36”

“Bigotry alone is too easy an answer. Anti-Semitism may have been the seed of the Holocaust, but the rapid spread of genocide, and the multinational character of the victims, suggests that too many history books have missed something: the root of all racism. This, says one American intelligence officer, is money. Greed is the secret connection beneath the soil of racial politics that permits patches of bigotry to spread across the landscape. “Forget”

“The flower of Judeo-Moslem cooperation was crushed in the aftermath of the Crusades. In response to Western militarism, Arab leaders modified the semipacifist Moslem religion and by the eighteenth century, had transformed it into a warrior’s code of domination over non-Moslem subjects and discrimination against the Jews. The era of tolerance and respect for education was over. The Moslem dark ages had begun. Harsh religious interpretations became an instrument of tribal loyalty and unity.”

“It is dangerous, however, to be complacent about Western societies. In France and Italy neo-Fascist movements have captured considerable popular support, even respectability, with their xenophobic, anti-immigrant policies. Even in the United States, Canada, and Australia, nations founded on multicultural immigration, there is an insidious growth of support for white supremacist, pan-Aryan movements just when apartheid has crumbled in South Africa.”

“The illegal campaign against the Jews reached its height during the Reagan-Bush years in the White House, when even Jewish children in summer camp were monitored for “subversive” activities.”

“Our Russian sources thought it a waste of time to talk about past Soviet transgressions against Jews when the rise of Russian fascism is staring them in the face.”

“assistant secretary of war, John McCloy, argued in writing that it would be unwise to divert Allied aircraft from military targets to bomb the gas chambers. He wasn’t a bigot; he was a banker, whose memo reads like a balance sheet. The bottom line was that rescuing concentration camp inmates was not cost-effective, and so the Allied planes flew over Auschwitz to bomb routine industrial targets farther north. Bombing the gas chambers at just three death camps—Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz—might have shut down the killing system for months, sparing hundreds of thousands of lives. For the price of a few American bombs, however, the death camps remained open. The”

“explained. “You can have vengeance, or you can have a country, but you cannot have both.” His choice of the word “vengeance,” not justice, left the Jews in no doubt where he stood. But the General Assembly would vote in only a few days. It was the last, best chance the Jews would ever have. If the opportunity slipped by, they would never get another. According”

“He knew that the Allies had not lifted a finger while at least 6 million Jews were killed. He knew that the British government would go to extreme lengths to stop the State of Israel from being created. The American people were enthusiastic supporters of the Zionist state, but the United States alone was not enough to counteract the votes of the British and their supporters in the United Nations. Ben-Gurion needed the votes of the Soviet bloc if he were ever to have a nation. He was willing to make a devil’s bargain with Stalin: Max’s silence, in return for a reversal of the Soviet position on Palestine.65 There is evidence that Ben-Gurion’s blackmail worked.”

“For the last fifty years, virtually every Jewish citizen, organization, and charity in the world has been the victim of electronic surveillance by Great Britain, with the knowing and willing assistance of the intelligence services of the United States.”

“industrialists what they wanted to hear. If they helped the Nazis increase their vote in 1933, it would be the last election they would ever have to worry about. There would be no more elections, no more problems with unions, no more antibusiness”
