CONTROL! HISTORY-TUNNEL, PLEASE!

12th August 2002: The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation was invited by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, to a meeting specially held on Sunday August 4, the day of the 90th anniversary of the birth of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. During the meeting, that took place at the Secretary’s General residence in New York, Baruch Tenembaum, founder of the IRWF presented a Commemorative Medal specially commissioned and coined to mark the anniversary. Mrs. Nane Annan, wife of the world leader and niece of the Swedish diplomat also attended the meeting.
This is the third time Mr. Annan meets the international NGO whose mission is to convey through educational programs that highlight the values of courage and solidarity demonstrated by Wallenberg, as well as other saviours, during his six months rescue mission in Budapest between 1944 and 1945. Wallenberg saved tens of thousands of people, mostly Jewish, condemned to death by the Nazi regime. He later disappeared after being abducted by the Soviet Army on 17th January 1945. His whereabouts are still unknown.

„And that, Mr. Hammarskjöld, is what Nane told me about her uncle who came from one of Sweden’s most prominent families. The Wallenberg’s have given their country several generations of leading bankers, diplomats and statesmen:

In 1931, Raoul Wallenberg travelled to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbour to study architecture. In 1935 he received a Bachelor of Science degree and returned home. But the market for architects in Sweden was small. Instead, his grandfather sent him to Cape Town, South Africa, where he became a trainee in a Swedish firm that sold building materials. After six months, his grandfather arranged another job for Raoul at the branch office of a Dutch bank in Haifa, Palestine, in what is now Israel.
In Palestine, he came into contact for the first time with Jews who had fled from Hitler’s Germany. Their stories about Nazi persecution stirred him deeply. Through Jacob Wallenberg’s network of contacts in the business world, he was eventually introduced to a Hungarian Jew, Koloman Lauer, who ran a Swedish-based import and export firm specializing in foodstuffs.
Because Raoul Wallenberg had a good feeling for languages and could travel freely around Europe, he was a perfect business partner for Lauer. Within eight months, Raoul Wallenberg was a major shareholder and the international manager of the firm.
His travels to Nazi-occupied France, and to Germany itself, soon taught Raoul Wallenberg how the German bureaucracy operated. He had also made numerous trips to Hungary, where he visited Lauer’s family in Budapest. Hungary was still a relatively safe place, though surrounded by enemies.
However, by the spring of 1944 Hitler’s plans for the annihilation of the entire Jewish population in German-occupied countries became widely known. Hungary, which had joined forces with Germany in its war against the Soviet Union still had about 700,000 Jewish residents as of early 1944.
When the Germans lost the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943, Hungary wanted to follow the example of Italy and ask for a separate peace. At that point, Hitler summoned the Hungarian head of state, Miklós Horthy, and demanded continued solidarity with Germany. When Horthy refused to accept these demands, Hitler ordered the occupation of Hungary, which began on March 19, 1944. Soon the deportation trains began carrying Hungarian Jews out of their country to the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps in southern Poland, where certain death awaited them.
Meanwhile, the World Jewish Congress was holding a meeting in Stockholm. The most important item on its agenda was to organize a rescue action for the Hungarian Jews. In 1944, the United States had established the War Refugee Board (WRB), an organization whose task was to save Jews from Nazi persecution. The WRB soon found out that the Swedes were making serious attempts to save Jews in Hungary. The WRB’s Stockholm representative summoned a group of prominent Swedish Jews to discuss names of suitable people who could travel to Budapest and initiate a major rescue action. Among the participants was Raoul Wallenberg’s business partner, Koloman Lauer, who served the group as an expert on Hungary.
The group’s first choice was Folke Bernadotte, chairman of the Swedish Red Cross and a relative of the King Gustav V. When Bernadotte was not approved by the Hungarian government, Koloman Lauer suggested that his own business colleague, Raoul Wallenberg, be approached. Lauer particularly emphasized that Wallenberg had already made many trips to Hungary while working for their jointly owned company. Some members of the group objected that Raoul was too young and appeared to be inexperienced, but Lauer persisted. Raoul was the right man, he argued-quick-thinking, energetic, courageous and empathetic. Besides, he had a well-known name.
Soon everyone in the group had approved the idea of approaching Raoul Wallenberg, who accepted the offer. By late June 1944, he had been appointed first secretary of the Swedish diplomatic mission in Budapest. His brief was to initiate a rescue action for the Jews. Raoul was very eager to travel to Budapest, but first he wrote a memo to the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. He was determined not to let himself be buried in diplomatic protocol and bureaucracy.
He requested full authority to deal with anyone he wanted, without first clearing the matter with the Swedish ambassador in Budapest. He also wanted the right to use diplomatic couriers outside of normal channels.
His memo was so unusual that the matter was referred all the way up to Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson, who consulted with King Gustav V before informing Wallenberg that his conditions had been accepted.
When Raoul Wallenberg arrived in Budapest in July 1944, time was already running out. Under the direction of Adolf Eichmann, the Germans had deported more than 400,000 Jewish men, women and children. They had been transported out of Hungary in 148 freight trains between May 14 and July 8. When Wallenberg got to Budapest, there were only about 200,000 Jews left in the capital.
Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann was now preparing a plan to wipe out the entire Jewish population of Budapest within a 24-hour period. In a report to Berlin, he had written that ‚the technical details will take a few days‘.
If this plan had been carried out, Raoul Wallenberg’s trip would have been in vain. Eichmann would have implemented a ‚permanent solution of the Jewish problem‘ in Hungary. But the head of state, Miklós Horthy, received a letter from King Gustav V of Sweden containing an appeal to stop the deportations of Jews. Horthy summoned his courage. He sent a note to King Gustav V saying he had done everything in his power to assure that the principles of humanity and justice would be respected. The German deportations were cancelled. A train carrying 1,600 Jews was stopped at the border and sent back to Budapest. Amazingly, the Germans approved the halt in the deportations. The reason may be that during this period one of the top Nazi leaders, Heinrich Himmler, was playing a high-stake game. Germany was losing the war. Himmler apparently believed he could negotiate a separate peace with the Western Allies. He may have hoped that he could improve his negotiating position by reducing pressure on the Jews. So in Hungary, Adolf Eichmann could do nothing but bide his time.
Raoul Wallenberg’s first task was to design a Swedish protective passport to help the Jews in their dealings with the Germans and the Hungarians. Wallenberg had previously learned that the German and Hungarian bureaucracies had a weakness for external symbolism. So he had the passports attractively printed in blue and yellow, Sweden’s national colours, with the Three Crowns coat of arms in the middle, and he furnished them with the appropriate stamps and signatures. Of course Wallenberg’s protective passports had no value whatever under international law, but they commanded the respect of those they were designed to influence.
In August 1944, the Hungarian head of state, Horthy, dismissed his pro-German prime minister, Sztójay, and appointed General Lakatos to succeed him. The situation of the Jews improved substantially. Because of diplomatic pressure — orchestrated and greatly amplified by Raoul Wallenberg — Adolf Eichmann lost his position of responsibility for ‚solving the Hungarian Jewish issue‘.
Wallenberg now thought that his department at the Legation could be phased out and that he himself could return to Sweden. He believed that the Soviet troops who were successfully invading Hungary would soon march into Budapest.
On October 15, Miklós Horthy, announced that he was seeking a separate peace with the Russians. But his radio speech had hardly been broadcast before the German troops took command. Horthy was immediately deposed and was replaced by the leader of the Hungarian Nazis, Ferenc Szálasi. He was leader of the Arrow Cross movement, which was feared at least as much as the German Nazis for its cruel methods in dealing with the Jews. Adolf Eichmann returned and was given a completely free hand to resume his previous terror campaign against the Jews.
But Raoul Wallenberg struggled indefatigably against the authorities and frequently showed up as an unwelcome witness to their atrocities. In many cases he managed to save his own Jewish co-workers from the hands of the executioners — his only weapons were his courage and firm demeanour.
Now Raoul Wallenberg began to expand the ‚Swedish houses‘. These were more than thirty buildings in the Pest district where Jews could seek shelter. A Swedish flag hung outside the door of each, and Wallenberg declared the building Swedish territory. The number of inhabitants of the ‚Swedish houses‘ soon climbed to 15,000.
Immediately after its installation, the new Hungarian Nazi government announced that all protective passports were invalid. But Wallenberg managed to make the acquaintance of Baroness Elizabeth ‚Liesel‘ Kemény. She was the wife of the foreign minister, and with her assistance Wallenberg managed to have his protective passports reinstated.
While this was going on, Eichmann began his brutal death marches. He carried out his promised deportation program by forcing large contingents of Jews to leave Hungary by foot. The first march began on November 20, 1944, and conditions along the 200 km route between Budapest and the Austrian border were so appalling that even some Nazis protested. Thousands of Jews marched in endless columns, hungry and in great suffering. Raoul Wallenberg stayed with them continuously, distributing protective passports, food and medicine. He alternately threatened and bribed the Nazis until he managed to secure the release of those who had been given his Swedish passports.
When Eichmann began shipping out the Hungarian Jews in whole trainloads, Wallenberg intensified his rescue actions. As the freight cars full of Jews stood in the station, he would even climb on top of them, run along the roof of the cars and hand bundles of protective passports to their occupants. On one occasion German soldiers were ordered to shoot him, but were so impressed by Wallenberg’s courage that they deliberately aimed too high. He was then able to jump down unharmed and demand that those Jews who had received his protective passports be allowed to leave the train and return to the city with him.
Toward the end of 1944 the Arrow Cross movement, the police and the German armed forces shared power in an uneasy alliance. Wallenberg searched desperately for suitable people who could be bribed, and he found a very powerful ally in Pa’l Szalay, a high-ranking officer in the police force who also belonged to the Arrow Cross. After the war, Szalay was the only highly placed Arrow Cross member not executed. Instead he was released in recognition of his efforts together with Wallenberg to protect the Jews.
During the second week of January 1945, Raoul Wallenberg learned that Eichmann was about to set in motion a total massacre of the Jews living in Budapest’s larger ghetto. The only person who could prevent it was General August Schmidthuber, commander of the German troops in Hungary. Wallenberg’s ally Szalay was sent to find Schmidthuber and hand over a note which declared that Raoul Wallenberg would make sure that the general would be held personally responsible for the massacre and that he would be hanged as a war criminal after the war. The massacre was cancelled at the last minute as a result of Raoul Wallenberg’s intervention.
Two days later, the Russians arrived and found 97,000 Jews alive in the two Budapest ghettoes. This brought to 120,000 the total number of Jews who had survived the Nazi efforts to exterminate them in Hungary.
On January 13, 1945, the advancing Soviet troops saw a man standing and waiting for them alone outside a building with a large Swedish flag above its door. Raoul Wallenberg told an amazed Soviet sergeant in fluent Russian that he was the Swedish chargé d’affaires for the portions of Hungary liberated by the Soviets. Wallenberg received permission to visit Soviet military headquarters in Debrecen, east of Budapest. On his way out of the capital on January 17, Wallenberg and his chauffeur — with a Soviet escort — stopped at the ‚Swedish houses‘, where he said goodbye to his friends. He told one colleague, Dr. Ernö Petö, that he was not sure whether he would be the guest of the Soviets or their prisoner. Raoul Wallenberg thought he would be back within a week — but Wallenberg and his chauffeur Vilmos Langfelder never returned from Debrecen. According to reliable witnesses, they were arrested and taken to Moscow. They were jailed by the NKVD, an organization now known as the KGB.“

Comrade Trotsky, can you explain how such a misunderstanding could emerge?

„Well, according to Stalinist reading everyone who, even only by chance, had come close to an intelligence gathering organisation was seen as a spy, especially when this one was a diplomat. And, I gather, Wallenberg had indeed to report back to the American financiers of the whole operation. As far as I know, he had set up in November 1944 a section in his department which, under his supervision, would write a detailed economic relief plan for the surviving Jews. Now, the common Russian does not have the same attitude toward the Jews. They were probably incapable of understanding a person who had devoted all his energies to saving them. Wallenberg thus considered it important to meet with the Soviet commanders and explain his humanitarian work to them. The Soviets probably thought that Wallenberg’s work had some ulterior motive. They presumably also suspected him of being an American agent. They were certainly also very sceptical of Raoul Wallenberg’s contacts with the Germans.“

But, Kofi, the U.S.-government of that time would surely have been in a position to explain everything to the Russians, then even their war-allies …

„They refused to comment … you must consider, the hot war was not over when the cold war had already started. ...“

Soon, you can access through Internet a data-collection with regard to Wallenberg’s fate. At a theatre in the German city of Bremen they are rehearsing for another opera that will in the spring of next year concentrate on Wallenberg’s life …
We, in our cattle wagons, are following your thoughts, Kofi, and we are asking ourselves what Dag meant when he said that you did not end up as a pensioner after leaving your position at the UN, but you would have been moved to the top of another powerful global network.
Instead of providing an answer you started to tell us how Mr. Hammarskjöld had been your idol, that your wife obviously helped you to get rid of some blinkers, and that you are moved by the fate of her uncle …

„My wife helped me to understand better what I perhaps could do in order to be recognized not only as a former actor on the world stage. Her uncle’s example did help me to find the courage to address two global trends that had alarmed me even before I had left the United Nations.
The first one: Whilst global financial markets experienced a boom — alas for speculators only who, however, never would create surplus value — the globally operating industrial capital was confronted with shrinking profits and a stagnating growth of economies. For almost already three decades there was on the global market available: too much money and too much goods. Why? Because there were fewer and fewer people who could afford loans and fewer and fewer people who bought goods. For worldwide operating monopolies it has been always essential to create new markets for their products. Unfortunately, the times of ‚Oil for the Lamps of China‘ are gone. China’s entry as global player on such markets is being monitored nervously by Western capitalists. Here in Africa, the race for resources is already almost lost to the Chinese. Western capitalists do not want, by all means, to loose the six hundred-eighty million consumers of Africa to the Chinese as well.
The second global trend can be described in less words but it is not less worrying:
In the long run, the nations of the world, organised as they are, won’t be capable to secure for everyone basic food in an affordable way. In the Southern world, above all in Africa, famine will lead to uprisings!“

What has the one to do with the other?

„Well, one of your guests already talked about it. You are recording everything, let’s hear it again.“

CONTROL! REPLAY, PLEASE!

The document ‚NSSM 200‘ which stands for ‚National Security Study Memorandum 200‘ carries the title ‚Consequences of General Growth of Population for American Interests regarding Security and Overseas‘. It was written three decades ago under supervision of the then U.S.-Security Advisor Henry Kissinger.
This secret document, made available to the public only in 1990, describes the growth of population in countries of the Third World as a strategic threat to the need of resources for the U.S.A. and Western Europe.

„There was another statement by your German guest speculating about motives of the American administration!“

Bush and Co. don’t want fight hunger in the world but want to control it, want to use it as an instrument of power, even to control the growth of population.

„Well, you see, this assumption does lead us astray. If it is correct that the author of ‚NSSM 200‘, Henry Kissinger, is acting always in the interest of his own ‚godfather‘ then the final goal can’t be limitation or even decimation of consumers in the world; the final goal is then to organize, in the interest of this ‚godfather‘, a market for products needed by consumers in the South for survival but, at the same time, cannot be produced by them anymore independently.“

Dag, who is that ‚godfather‘ Kofi is talking about? Are we correct in assuming that we have arrived again at „Room 5600“?

„At Room 5600, at the global control-centre of the Rockefeller-dynasty, yes! And that godfather-type of relationship is described best in a short note by Kissinger-stalker Christopher Hitchens on his Website, posted Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2002, at 6:36 PM ET.“

CONTROL! INTERNET, PLEASE!

In his second career as an obfuscator and a falsifier, Kissinger appropriated the records of his time at the State Department and took them on a truck to the Rockefeller family estate in New York. He has since been successfully sued for the return of much of this public property, but meanwhile he produced, for profit, three volumes of memoirs that purported to give a full account of his tenure. In several crucial instances, such as his rendering of U.S. diplomacy with China over Vietnam, with apartheid South Africa over Angola, and with Indonesia over the invasion of East Timor (to cite only some of the most conspicuous), declassified documents have since shown him to be a bald-faced liar.

„That is the ‚Core of the Poodle‘, just to quote Goethe again whose ‚Faust‘ recognizes finally that ‚Mephistopheles‘, the devil, used the harmless form of a pet-dog to cause harm. Now, the Rockefeller-dynasty let loose it’s poodle a year ago, in September 2006. And the energy of this little poodle’s core will surmount every previous effort by Room 5600 to get rid of all control by national governments and parliaments when it comes to it’s own long term goals.
Right at the beginning you doubted whether I would be familiar with GOOGLE, you were wrong! It was mentioned already: Up there we do know not only WHAT is moving the world but also WHO.
The process was started by a programmer, who had invented a computer-adaptable system to measure the flow of street-traffic. That earned him his first twenty-thousand dollars, and he was only fourteen then. Today, he is fifty-two. His programs dominate the flow of computer-based communication traffic worldwide. That earned him a private fortune of fifty-six billion dollars by now … In this year 2007, he is the richest man of the world. …“

Wowh! A year ago the whole trade with Africa as organized by Mr. Moon’s tailors had a value of only fifty-five billion!

„Half a year ago, the ‚Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation‘ joined the ‚Rockefeller Foundation‘ to start the new ‚Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa ‘ / AGRA. Rockefeller and Gates argued, AGRA would promise Africa’s poor peasants a better life. How shall this happen?
Immense investments in appropriate technologies are planned, in efficient practice of farming, in a network of small shop-owners who are supposed to sell mini-packs of improved seed and fertilizer.
Rockefeller Foundation and Gates Foundation have, together, pledged one hundred and fifty million dollar so that AGRA can restructure Africa’s agricultural industry, from sowing in the field to the formation of new local and international markets, an enormous plan — and, as an African face, they got hold of Mr. Kofi Annan.“ …
