Why Don’t We Know Much About Right-Wing Terrorists? Conservatives Fired The Guy Studying Them

75. You know who really likes guns? NAZIs.

And that trail of bullets leads straight to the GOP of George Herbert Walker Bush and Company, the War and Money Party, what Bartcop termed the BFEE:

A Fresh Look

Nazis and the Republican Party

Investigative reporter Christopher Simpson says in BLOWBACK that after World War II, Nazi émigrés were
given CIA subsidies to build a far-right-wing power base in the U.S. These Nazis assumed prominent positions
in the Republican Party's "ethnic outreach committees." Simpson documents the fact that these Nazis did not
come to America as individuals but as part of organized groups with fascist political agendas. The Nazi agenda
did not die along with Adolf Hitler. It moved to America (or a part of it did) and joined the far right of the
Republican Party.

Simpson shows how the State Department and the CIA put high-ranking Nazis on the intelligence payroll "for
their expertise in propaganda and psychological warfare," among other purposes. The most important Nazi
employed by the U.S. was Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's most senior eastern front military intelligence officer. After
Germany's defeat became certain, Gehlen offered the U.S. certain concessions in exchange for his own
protection. Gehlen promoted hyped up cold war propaganda on behalf of the political right in this country, and
helped shape U.S. perceptions of the cold war.

Journalist Russ Bellant (OLD NAZIS, THE NEW RIGHT, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY) shows that
Laszlo Pasztor, a convicted Nazi war collaborator, built the Republican émigré network. Pasztor, who served as
adviser to Republican Paul Weyrich, belonged to the Hungarian Arrow Cross, a group that helped liquidate
Hungary's Jews. Pasztor was founding chairman of the Republican Heritage Groups Council.

SNIP...

At a May 9, 1984 press conference, Simon Wiesenthal said, "Nazi criminals were the principal beneficiaries of
the Cold War." The cold war mentality, hyped by Reinhard Gehlen and other Nazis, became the shelter for tens
of thousands of Nazi criminals. Helping the far right in this country to promote cold war hysteria became the
Nazi war criminals "reason for being." As Christopher Simpson says, the cold war became those criminals'
means "to avoid responsibility for the murders they had committed."

Journalist Seymour Hersh says Christopher Simpson's BLOWBACK is "the ultimate book about the worst
kind of cold war thinking, in which some of our most respected statesmen made shameful decisions that they
mistakenly believed to be justified." To this day, says Simpson, the U.S. intelligence agencies hide the scope of
their post-World War II collaboration with Nazi criminals.

Are Republicans like George H. W. Bush, Oliver North, and Jesse Helms, aware they have been assisted by
Nazi collaborators? Bush once worked for the CIA and should have known about the nature of the Nazis in his
'88 campaign. No doubt he knows the history of Nazi/CIA collaboration. Whether or not Bush knew of the
fascists' involvement in his campaign, the Republican Party should have done a far better screening job. One
thing is certain: The intelligence agencies know the scope and extent of Nazi involvement with the political
right in this country. It is a shame they keep it hidden from the majority of the American people.

That was 2000. Things have gotten a lot more NAZI since then. Think 9-11 Unsere Reichstagfeuer.
