Cómo Hitler ocultó su homosexualidad

Su modo amanerado de saludar, ¿una traición del inconsciente?

La homosexualidad de Hitler no se redujo a la condición de fenómeno meramente privado. Como documenta extraordinariamente Lothar Machtan, tuvo mucho que ver con un movimiento gay “avant la lettre” surgido en Alemania a inicios del siglo XX que abogaba por paradigmas supuestamente tan masculinos que excluían totalmente a las mujeres y abogaban por la práctica homosexual como signo de superioridad.

LOTHAR MACHTAN

Hitler hizo asesinar entre el 30 de junio y el 3 de julio de 1934 a unos 150 «opositores al régimen». Durante el transcurso de la acción, Hermann Göring ordenó la destrucción o requisa de todos los documentos hallados en los correspondientes registros, e inmediatamente después el gobierno del Reich aprobó la Ley sobre medidas del estado de emergencia, que daba simplemente por «buenos» los asesinatos. Con ello se había privado a la justicia del fundamento para cualquier investigación.

La estremecida opinión pública pedía naturalmente explicación y justificación, por lo que el mayor demagogo nacionalsocialista después de Hitler tuvo que «aclarar» al pueblo alemán el trasfondo de aquel hecho sangriento. El 1 de julio, esto es, mientras todavía se estaban cometiendo los asesinatos, pronunció un discurso transmitido por radio. Su alcance permite concluir que todo estaba ya decidido en lo esencial antes del 30 de junio. La rapidez con la que se llevó a cabo el asalto por sorpresa fue presentada por Goebbels como una refinada táctica: «El führer se ha atenido de nuevo a su viejo principio de decir únicamente lo que hay que decir, a quien lo debe saber y cuando lo debe saber». Se trataba de derrotar a «grandes traidores». Pero en lugar de revelar los planes conspirativos de golpe de estado, Goebbels se perdió en reproches estereotipados contra una «pequeña camarilla de saboteadores profesionales» que no querían «comprender nuestra paciencia indulgente». Ahora «el führer los había llamado al orden con la severidad de su rigor». Todo quedaba así claro: «Ahora haremos tabla rasa. [...] Las pústulas, los reductos de corrupción, la proliferación de síntomas de enfermedad moral que se manifestaban en la vida pública serán extirpados hasta la raíz».

Pero el motivo principal por el que se había atizado deliberadamente esa escalada era otro, al que Goebbels se había referido de pasada, pero con notable claridad, cuando dijo: los jefes de las SA «estaban a punto de hacer caer sobre toda la dirección del partido la sospecha de una insultante y asquerosa anormalidad sexual». No se puede pasar por alto alegremente esta afirmación. En primer lugar, de una «sospecha» de que «toda» la dirección del NSDAP fuera homosexual no había hablado nadie hasta entonces en el Tercer Reich. ¿Quién habría podido difundirla, si ni siquiera los socialdemócratas lo habían conseguido cuando todavía existía la libertad de opinión? ¿Y qué quiere decir «estaban a punto»? ¿Maliciosamente? ¿Por negligencia? ¿Involuntariamente? No, esa afirmación no era una argucia ni una gracia demagógica, sino el reflejo de una amenaza real, frente a la que Hitler supo reaccionar en el verano de 1934 con la ley de Lynch.

Un ejemplo muy parecido de revelación involuntaria es el que ofreció el primer comunicado del departamento de prensa del Reich, que afirmaba: «Su [de Röhm] desdichada inclinación llevaba a tan desagradables imputaciones que el propio führer del movimiento y jefe supremo de las SA se había visto envuelto en difíciles conflictos de conciencia». Y en la rendición de cuentas que presentó el 3 de julio a su gobierno resuenan igualmente los verdaderos motivos para la acción criminal de los días anteriores: la «camarilla encabezada por Röhm, vinculada por sus especiales inclinaciones», le había «atacado con calumnias», y él «reprocha al antiguo jefe de estado mayor su insinceridad y deslealtad». Röhm le había amenazado, al parecer, con su dimisión, y esa amenaza no era «otra cosa que una desvergonzada extorsión».

Con otras palabras, Hitler sólo podía defenderse recurriendo a los medios más extremos. Por eso tenían que ser asesinados o amedrentados con la mayor severidad todos cuantos sabían que no sólo Röhm, sino también Hitler, era homosexual. Eso es lo que confirma un examen más atento de cada una de las víctimas. Fueron asesinados o encarcelados: los jefes homosexuales de las SA, Röhm, Ernst y Heines, todos ellos relacionados personalmente con Hitler; Gregor Strasser, quien hasta entonces había sido un «íntimo amigo» del Führer y que había elegido a Hitler como «padrino de sus hijos»; los respectivos amigos de esos antiguos hombres de confianza, aunque se hubiesen alejado desde hacía tiempo de «Röhm y su camarilla», como el doctor Heimsoth o Paul Röhrbein. Altos funcionarios del Estado, que conocían material documental escandaloso sobre Hitler, como Erich Klausener, jefe del departamento de policía del Ministerio del Interior prusiano y su asesor Eugen von Kessel; el ministro de Defensa y ex canciller Kurt von Schleicher y su mano derecha Ferdinand von Bredow; el jefe de la policía de Munich, August Schneidhuber, y también al anterior primer ministro de Baviera, Gustav von Kahr, del que Hitler sospechaba lo que Lossow efectivamente había conseguido. Abogados de Röhm, Strasser, Lüdecke y otros destacados dirigentes nacionalsocialistas, que a partir de sus defendidos y de los documentos investigados en los respectivos procesos habían entrado en conocimiento de cuestiones explosivas, como Walter Luetgebrune, Gerd Voss, Robert Sack o Alexander Glaser. Finalmente, el escritor muniqués Fritz Gerlich, que sabía más sobre Hitler y su círculo íntimo que cualquier otro periodista de la época.

Hitler quería evitar a toda costa que su persona quedara comprometida. Se vengó de un modo verdaderamente despiadado de la «camarilla de conjurados» que la había tomado con su «vida» e intentó desmantelar por adelantado cualquier eventual intriga posterior. Se deshizo sin consideración alguna de potenciales testigos de cargo. Algunos ejemplos ilustran su forma de proceder: El hotelero totalmente apolítico Karl Zehnter, de 34 años y arrendatario del Nürnberger Bratwurstglöckl, junto a la catedral de Nuestra Señora en Munich, pertenecía al círculo de amigos homosexuales de Röhm, con los que a veces salía

de viaje; pero también le unía una estrecha y antigua amistad con Edmund Heines. Ambos jefes de las SA solían acudir a su local y hasta Hitler estuvo en él en alguna ocasión. En el primer piso del Bratwurstglöckl había siempre una habitación libre para conversaciones reservadas entre destacados dirigentes nacionalsocialistas. Zehnter se ocupaba de servir personalmente a sus huéspedes, con lo que tuvo necesariamente que darse cuenta de los lazos que les unían, en particular con Hitler. Eso, y sólo eso, es lo que le llevó a la muerte.

También el pintor muniqués Martin Schätzl, de sólo 25 años de edad, que había acompañado a Ernst Röhm a Bolivia, fue asesinado. Aunque allí no se llegó a establecer la relación amorosa que Röhm esperaba, fue durante dos años su compañero más próximo en una tierra extraña y su mutua amistad no se rompió luego. Schätzl entró en las SA cuando Röhm retomó su mando, y el 1 de febrero de 1934 éste le incorporó a su estado mayor, por lo que ambos debieron de hablar sobre muchas cosas, en particular sobre la amistad de Röhm con Hitler. Y precisamente por eso no podía de ningún modo seguir con vida.

CLARAS INCLINACIONES

El general Ferdinand von Bredow, quien desde el nombramiento de Hitler como canciller vivía retirado en su domicilio berlinés, fue asesinado literalmente en un vehículo policial, siendo arrojado a continuación su cadáver a una cuneta. Lo que causó su perdición fue al parecer su actividad como jefe del servicio secreto militar durante el mandato de Heinrich Brüning como canciller. Bredow, que era uno de los colaboradores más fieles de Schleicher, se había ocupado en el último medio año antes de la toma del poder por Hitler de la dirección administrativa del ministerio de Defensa, puesto que le dio acceso a ciertos documentos como por ejemplo un informe sobre el encuentro de la Orden de la Joven Alemania el 3 4 de julio de 1932, en el que se decía que el contenido principal de las conversaciones allí mantenidas había sido del siguiente tenor: «El ministro de Defensa Schleicher apoya al NSDAP, movimiento cuyos principales líderes son homosexuales, y según el material que nos ha hecho llegar Otto Strasser [...] el ministro de Defensa es también de ese mismo talante. Las pruebas provienen de la época de cadete del ministro de Defensa. El Sr.Otto Strasser visitó a Mahraun [el Alto Maestre de la Orden] con objeto de hacerle partícipe de estos datos. También le comunicó que con ocasión de una larga estancia del Sr. Hitler en su casa observó en él una conducta que induce a pensar en el mismo tipo de inclinación. También hay que incluir en ese círculo al canciller del Reich von Papen. [...] Asimismo, el club de caballeros próximos al Canciller consta en su mayor parte de individuos de tendencias anormales».

Como se deduce fácilmente de estos pocos ejemplos, la acción que se desarrolló en los días en torno al 30 de junio de 1934 fue algo más que un golpe de mano de Hitler contra la dirección de las SA y algunos cómplices reaccionarios de aquellos golpistas. Más de 1.100 personas fueron detenidas durante la acción de limpieza, de las que en otoño quedaban todavía 34 en prisión.

El motivo central para la actuación contra «Röhm y sus amigos» fue el miedo del Führer a quedar al descubierto y a la extorsión. En favor de esta tesis habla también el hecho de que la montaña de documentos requisados no diera lugar a la instrucción de ningún proceso el propio Hitler había rechazado de antemano estrictamente ese procedimiento formal, sino que quedaran en poder de la Gestapo de Himmler y fueran entregados personalmente a Hitler. Eliminar a los testigos, ése era el verdadero objetivo de aquella acción terrorista, tras la que no estaba ninguna banda armada, sino las brigadas volantes de un Estado policial ya considerablemente centralizado [...].

Pero, a pesar o precisamente a causa de todas las amenazas y castigos, los rumores acerca de la orientación sexual del Führer no tenían fin. En 1937 se le escapó a un hombre de las SA la observación de que Hitler era, al igual que Röhm, «uno de los del Artículo 175» [del Código Penal, referido al delito de sodomía], lo que le costó dos años de encierro e inhabilitación. Otro ejemplo, de mayor relevancia, sucedido en Berlín en 1942: el adjunto personal de Hitler, Julius Schaub, denunció al escritor Hans Walter Aust, por aquel entonces miembro del gabinete de prensa del Reich y declarado «insustituible». Ese Aust le había dicho a una informante de Schaub «que el Führer hospedaba en Obersalzberg a una joven, de nombre Everl [se supone que se trata de Eva Braun], pero sólo con la finalidad de disimular su homosexualidad». Esa «calumnia [según la argumentación del juez en su sentencia] es tanto más grave, cuanto que con ella se atribuye al Führer la misma inclinación antinatural que él condenó de la forma más rotunda con ocasión del incidente Röhm en el año 1934». Pero ni siquiera ese retorcimiento de la justicia le era suficiente a Hitler: desde 1943 la pena con que se castigaba a quienes atribuyeran una orientación homosexual al führer era la muerte.

LA COARTADA DE EVA

Eva Braun quizá no cuente demasiado en el balance de la vida de Adolf Hitler [...]. Indicativo de la rara indeterminación de esa relación es la esquiva respuesta que dio Julius Schaub en un interrogatorio tras la guerra a la pregunta de por qué no se había casado antes el führer con su Fräulein Braun, en lugar de esperar al último momento en el búnker: «Era su forma de ser; nos preguntábamos a menudo por qué, y no lo entendíamos. Al fin y al cabo, nosotros también estábamos casados y no con nuestras mujeres. Él tenía, seguro, sus propias ideas [...]; aparte de eso no sé decir otra cosa.» Y a la pregunta de cuáles podían ser esas «ideas propias» de Hitler, respondió: «No se extendía sobre ellas. Nunca nos las contaba en detalle». «¿La quería mucho?» «Le gustaba mucho, sí» «¿Qué quiere decir que le gustaba mucho? ¿La quería o no?» «Sí, sí que la quería». Es decir, se gustaban.

Herbert Döring, gerente de Obersalzberg, recuerda igualmente una «tranquila y buena amistad, con momentos mejores y peores».Y a la pregunta de si aquella relación también era a su juicio de naturaleza sexual, respondía: «No, no llegaba tan lejos, seguro.De ningún modo». También lo confirma una declaración de Heinrich Hoffmann: «En el cotilleo constante que reinaba en el entorno de Hitler yo tendría que haber oído algo, aunque sólo fuera a la chica que les hacía las camas.» Toda una serie de testimonios parecidos refuerzan la sospecha de que probablemente Hitler ni siquiera se sentía encaprichado por ella. Eso no está en contradicción con que Eva Braun pretendiera hacer creer algo diferente al mundo, ya que cualquier otra cosa no sólo habría comprometido a Hitler, sino también herido su amor propio como mujer, agravando así su ya mutilado modo de vida.

Así pues, Hans Severus Ziegler caracterizó muy acertadamente esa relación cuando habló del «amistoso y casi paternal trato» de Hitler hacia ella. «Como suelen decir los hombres coloquial y caballerosamente observaba Ziegler, Eva Braun es un buen compañero, al que nadie podría querer mal.» Nada más; pero en cualquier caso un «compañero» femenino, y eso era decisivo. Cuando Hitler la necesitaba estaba a su disposición, como siempre había exigido a su sobrina. Probablemente, ella se acordaba mucho de Geli Raubal; ambas compartían la juvenil despreocupación y la afición a los deportes, y al igual que de Raubal se cuenta de Braun que era una «niña salvaje». Un conocido de la adolescencia opinaba que en ella «se había perdido a un chico»; nunca había coqueteado con jóvenes. Además se divertía mucho disfrazándose y prefería «los papeles con pantalones». También se esforzaba por parecerse a la sobrina de Hitler, tanto en el peinado como en sus trajes.

Como acompañante del Führer, se quejaba Christa Schroeder, tenía poca talla. «¡Pero a mí me basta!», respondía Hitler. Por otra parte, tras la semilegalización de su relación en 1936, Eva Braun se había apaciguado un tanto; había llegado a convencerse de que su situación tenía «su lado bueno y sus ventajas». «Imagínese usted lo cómodo que resulta para una mujer no tener que sentirse nunca celosa de otra».

RECUERDOS COMPROMETEDORES DE AMIGOS

Carta de Adolf Hitler a su amigo de juventud, el funcionario, mediocre músico y escritor ocasional August Kubizek: «Me gustaría mucho volver a recordar contigo cuando haya pasado el tiempo de mis luchas más duras los más bellos años de mi vida». En su hagiografía (no se puede calificar de otra forma), Adolf Hitler, mi amigo de juventud (1953), Kubizek recuerda así aquellos tiempos: «Nadie en el mundo me ha querido tan entrañablemente ni me ha tratado mejor [...]. [Hitler] no podía soportar que saliera o hablara con otros jóvenes. Para él, en ese sentido, se trataba de una exclusividad absoluta». En sus memorias, Kubizek relata una anécdota en la que ambos se perdieron bajo una tormenta en un paseo por el monte y acabaron en una cabaña: «Extendí uno de aquellos grandes trozos de tela sobre el heno y le dije que debía quitarse la camiseta y los calzoncillos. Se tumbó desnudo sobre el paño [...]. Le divertía enormemente aquel acontecimiento, cuyo final romántico le complacía gratamente. Ahora ya no sentíamos frío».

ERNST HANFSTAENGL, amigo del führer, al servicio secreto estadounidense, en 1942: «La residencia de Hitler tenía fama de ser un lugar al que acudían hombres mayores en busca de jóvenes con el propósito de mantener relaciones homosexuales».

FRIEDRICH ALFRED SCHMID-NOERR, opositor a Hitler, recogió en 1939 el testimonio de un compañero del futuro führer en el regimiento List, donde ambos sirvieron durante la Guerra del 14: «Entre nosotros se despertó desde un principio la sospecha de que era homosexual. En 1915, estábamos en la fábrica de cerveza Le Fébre de Fournes y dormíamos en yacijas de paja. Hitler dormía por las noches con Schmidl, su puta masculina. Oímos un crujido. Uno encendió su linterna eléctrica y refunfuñó: «Ya está de nuevo la pareja de maricas haciendo de las suyas»».

JOHANNES MEND, autor del libro propagandístico pro nazi Adolf Hitler en el frente de 1914 a 1918, reveló a Eva Köning (después testigo contra el autor en un juicio por abusos sexuales) escenas de equívoca camaradería de aquella época: «Cuando se bañaban juntos [Hitler y otros soldados] solían saltar unos sobre otros desnudos. Hitler hacía entonces todo lo imaginable con ellos y por la noche se apartaba de allí con alguno».

ERNST RÖHM, homosexual declarado, comandante de la AS, donde instauró una filosofía homofílica muy basada en el movimiento Wandervogel (Pájaros errantes) ideado por el pensador Hans Blüher: «Sólo deciden los hombres. Los desertores políticos y las mujeres histéricas de ambos sexos deben abandonar el barco cuando de lo que se trata es de combatir». Röhm también es el probable autor del ensayo Nacionalismo e inversión, publicado en 1932, y en el que se exalta el homoerotismo y se hace una alusión explícita a Hitler que éste nunca desmintió: «No es tan sólo un punto de vista personal, sino la opinión hasta del führer». Ernst Hanfstaengl, en sus memorias, recuerda la relación que mantenían Hitler y el comandante de la AS: «La relación de amistad entre Hitler y Röhm se hizo más profunda [en 1923, tras un intento de golpe de Estado], lo que llevó desde el tuteo fraternal hasta rumores sobre supuestas relaciones íntimas entre ambos».

HANS BLÜHER: «Hitler, que había leído [mi libro] "El papel del erotismo", reconocía también que tenía que existir algo así [el heroísmo masculino homoerótico]». «Naturalmente, Hitler conocía muy bien mis libros y sabía que su movimiento era un movimiento de hombres y que estaba basado en las mismas fuerzas primarias que los Wandervogel».

El rostro oculto del Führer

Por:CESAR VIDAL

La psicología constituye uno de los terrenos más sugestivos –y reveladores– a la hora de dilucidar el origen y el desarrollo de procesos históricos concretos. Nicolás II y su defensa de la autocracia resultarían incomprensibles sin referirnos al impacto que le causó ver el cuerpo destrozado de su abuelo Alejandro II a causa de un atentado terrorista y la revolución espiritual de la Reforma difícilmente podría entenderse sin recordar el hondo conflicto de conciencia que sacudió durante años a un fraile agustino llamado Martín Lutero. En ese sentido, Hitler ha sido objeto en repetidas ocasiones objeto de estudios psicológicos rigurosos incluso antes de su llegada al poder.

La presente obra –que resulta imprescindible desde ahora para cualquiera que desee estudiar el nazismo o al propio Hitler en profundidad– pretende demostrar la homosexualidad del Führer y se inscribe con mérito propio dentro de esa trayectoria. Es cierto que semejante tesis no era novedosa y que ya en 1949 Eugen Dollman publicó en Italia sus memorias indicando que el Führer había sido homosexual. Sin embargo, la presente obra de Machtan va mucho más allá describiéndonos la trayectoria de un hombre que ya era conocido en las trincheras por sus relaciones homosexuales y que, posteriormente, en la Viena de la posguerra fue origen de un archivo cada vez más voluminoso donde se recogían sus contactos íntimos con muchachos cuyos favores sexuales lograba no pocas veces ofreciéndoles una comida en una época marcada por la escasez económica.

Sin embargo, la homosexualidad de Hitler no se redujo a la condición de fenómeno meramente privado. Como documenta extraordinariamente el autor, tuvo mucho que ver con un movimiento gay “avant la lettre” surgido en Alemania a inicios del siglo XX que abogaba por paradigmas supuestamente tan masculinos que excluían totalmente a las mujeres y abogaban por la práctica homosexual como signo de superioridad.

Partiendo de ese punto de vista no resulta extraño que un porcentaje realmente elevado de las jerarquías del partido nazi fuera homosexual y cobra verosimilitud la tesis de que la “noche de los cuchillos largos” de 1934 tuviera entre otras causas la de eliminar a homosexuales como Röhm que sabían demasiado de la identidad sexual de Hitler. Aunque

alguno de los argumentos brindados por Machtan puede resultar discutible lo cierto es que tras la lectura de su libro no quedan dudas de que Hitler fue un homosexual activo, cuya conducta era conocida por buen número de contemporáneos y que, sobre todo a partir de

su llegada al poder, hizo todo lo que estuvo en sus manos para borrar las huellas de su vida íntima.

Hubiera sido interesante que el autor hubiera analizado hasta qué punto la homosexualidad pudo influir en la ideología de Hitler. Sin embargo, aunque esa cuestión no es analizada, al final de la lectura de este magnífico trabajo de investigación, uno se pregunta si la aversión de Hitler por los judíos y por el cristianismo no derivaría, siquiera en parte, de la manera tan clara en que ambas fes han considerado moralmente reprobable la homosexualidad a lo largo de los siglos. Así, la vida íntima, como casi siempre, habría influido en la social.

S A V E   I S R A E L:   The Vatican's Plot against Israel

by Barry Camish

Part I

In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East "peace" process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter, claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem, granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy.

Halter's claim was backed by the Italian newspaper La Stampa, which added that Arafat was apprised of the agreement and it was included in the secret clauses of the "Declaration of Principles" signed in Washington in September 1993.

In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres's Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, confirming the hand over of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Haaretz two days later. A scandal erupted and numerous rabbis who had invited Peres for Passover services cancelled their invitations in protest of his treachery. Peres reacted by claiming that the cable was real but that someone had whited out the word, "not;" the cable really said that Israel would "not" hand Jerusalem over to the holy pontiff.

Illustrating the sorry political state of Israel's rabbis, they accepted this cockamamie excuse and re-invited Peres to their tables. However, in the widely distributed minutes of a meeting with Clinton in 1997, Peres reiterated his diplomacy, ending with the words, "as I had previously promised the Holy See."

Peres's partner in crime, and the real founder of the Oslo Accord, Yossi Beilin, coordinated his PLO policy with the Vatican. Check the timing; at the same moment that he was finagling an accord with the PLO, he was negotiating an agreement for Vatican recognition of Israel. His deal with the pope became another brief scandal when politicians like Agudat Yisrael, head Avraham Shapira, and

Jerusalem Deputy Mayor, Shmuel Meir were leaked hidden details of Beilin's accord which included, "the extra-territoriality of holy sites in Jerusalem to be transferred to Vatican control." Later, Shapira was neutralized by having $250 million is debts accrued by his crooked carpet factory forgiven, while Meir was permanently hushed when his car was crushed by a UN truck driven by a PLO driver. The driver, of course, was released forever after a brief questioning by Israel Police.

Now let us jump to the 1999. The current Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami is shuttling between King Carlos of Spain and the Vatican. That is where the action is for the Israeli government today, and when things get serious, the focus shifts to Paris where Chirac, Albright, and Arafat await him.

There is no question whatsoever that the Vatican wants Israel off the Temple Mount and that our leadership is accommodating their desire. What I have not been able to pinpoint is why. However, material sent to me appears to answer the question.

Allow me to preface a few comments before I carry on. The vast majority of my ongoing readers are not conspiratorial in their outlook. What attracted them to my e-mail list and books is that I solved the Rabin assassination to their satisfaction and that I am offering more likely explanations for Israel's suicide than they are getting from the mainstream media. It took five years for me to finally instill the fact that the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR) in New York is Israel's number one enemy, and despite pouring on the evidence time after time, there are still doubters who refuse to believe that any organization can have that much power. Every time I dig deep, I am accused of going too far, even of fantasizing imaginary foes.

So what am I going to do with the evidence sent to me accusing the "Society Of Jesus," whose members are known as Jesuits, of being the real power behind the CFR and of being Israel and Judaism's most vicious and successful enemy? My doubters are going to have a field day with this revelation but I am going ahead anyway. The weight of the evidence is beyond merely compelling.

I had known for some time that a former Jesuit priest, Malachi Martin had exposed his society's treachery at great length. Numerous correspondents insisted I could not understand Israel's dilemma without reading Martin's revelations. Still, one voice was not enough for me to risk unnecessary mockery. However, recently other voices have been added to Martin's and I have started paying attention. A composer, who I had greatly admired thirty years ago, Tupper Saussy released a book called Rulers of Evil, which expanded on the thesis of Jesuit control of the American political system and is receiving fine reviews. We have begun a correspondence and I will receive his book shortly.

In the meantime, allow me to expand on the book I have completed reading. It is called Vatican Assassins by Eric Jon Phelps. One may read excerpts by visiting "http://www.vaticanassassins.org." This was no ordinary reading experience; the manuscript I received spiral bound is 750 pages in length. The first 600 pages attempt, mostly successfully, to prove that the Jesuits were formed in reaction to the Protestant Reformation and their goal is to return the planet to the good old days when one pope held the monopoly on world religion. Utilizing any evil means available, their plan is to eliminate all the competition be they Jews, Muslims, or

"Christians" who do not recognize the Vatican as their capital. It is their war on the Jews, which will most interest my readers, and from here on, we will concentrate on that one aspect of a most complicated history.

I will start with the book's [Vatican Assassins] claim that Jesuit control of Great Britain was the real force behind Zionism and the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in Israel. I have no problem with this thesis since the British, during and after the First World War, created the entire Middle East as it exists today. If the British created Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon etc., one can be very certain they created modern Israel as well.

The most disturbing charge is that, to populate the new Israel, the Jesuits stirred up the pogroms and Holocaust of Europe to drive Jews to their safe haven in the Middle East. On page 548 we read:

Hitler, now in power, patterned his SS after the Jesuit Order. He used Roman Catholic Bavarian Himmler with his Jesuit uncle to carry out the plan. Hitler declares, 'I have learnt most of all from the Jesuit Order. A good part of that organization I have transported direct to my own party. I will tell you a secret; I am founding an Order. In Himmler, I see our Ignatius de Loyola.'

Walter Shellenberg, Chief of the Nazi Sicherheitsdienst (SD) reveals, ''The SS had been organized by Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order. The rules of service and spiritual exercises prescribed by Ignatius de Loyola constituted a model, which Hitler strove carefully to copy.'

Edmund Paris then asks this most penetrating question concerning Hitler, ''Was it not his uncle, the Jesuit father, who had been promoted to a high-ranking officer of the SS? And was not the latter the very eye and arm of Halke von Ledochowski, General of the Order'? Who then was sending so many million deportees to death? Was it Heinrich Himmler or his uncle, the Jesuit canon?"

The book details the betrayal of Israel's leadership during the Holocaust, recalling that Rudolph Kastner:

...Then one of Israel's most honored leaders, was a traitor who had cooperated with the Nazi leaders of Germany including Adolph Eichmann to deport Jews from Hungary.

I do not dispute this claim, and anyone who does should read Perfidy by Ben Hecht or The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black. It is the conclusion drawn from this treason, on page 584, which is far more troublesome:

Ah, dear truth seeker, Zionist Israel is a creation of the Jesuit Order. Its purpose is to secure Jerusalem for the Jesuits "infallible" Pope, that he may receive worldwide worship from Solomon's rebuilt Temple. If the Masonic Zionists betrayed their own Jewish race into Pious XII's concentration camps overseen by the Jesuit Order, would they not betray the nation of Israel by giving Jerusalem to the Pope in preparation for the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple?

...Therefore we are living under the preeminence of a Gentile Jesuit conspiracy. It employs notorious Masonic Jews and Gentiles as their agents. This furthers the deception of an international Jewish conspiracy oppressing the nations. Using this lie, the Jesuit General in creating global, anti-Jewish fury again. This fury will culminate in the last mad attempt to invade Israel and destroy the physical descendants of Jacob.

And who is leading the invasion? We learn that Bill Clinton was the student [body] president of the Jesuit's Georgetown University and, for a time, expressed the desire of becoming a Jesuit priest. In those days, Clinton was sent to England on a Rhodes scholarship, with all that that implies, and at an anti-American demonstration met Jesuit Friar Richard McSorely, who later headed Georgetown's Center For Peace Studies. On page 672, we get a haunting hint at Clinton's later role in Israel's destruction, as well as those of Norway and France:

McSorley then went to France and Scandinavia to meet peace people. Stepping off the train right behind him in Oslo, Norway was Bill Clinton.

And if a Clinton Democrat fails to ignite the flames, that will engulf Israel, the Jesuits:

"...will use the Republican Party to bring a Jesuit-controlled, Jew-hating fascist dictator to power, 'For the greater glory of the god who sits in St. Peter's chair.'"

That's Eric Jon Phelps explanation why Israel's political leaders, especially those of the Labor Party, are running between, Chirac, King Carlos and the Vatican to secure a "peace" treaty with the PLO. I can only advise my readers not to dismiss the possibility that he got it right.

Rabin's Last Doctor and The Knights Templar

We now enter the realm of the truly bizarre as we look at the doctor who last examined Yitzhak Rabin, the State Pathologist, Dr. Yehuda Hiss. Israelis know too well that their government's coroner is corrupt. In September 1999, Judge Ruth Orr overturned a conviction against a Jewish resident of Judea and Samaria for the shooting murder of an Arab boy because she accused Dr. Hiss of forging the forensic evidence against him. It was the second time in a year that a murder conviction was overturned because Hiss had falsified an autopsy for political purposes. He had earlier been caught doctoring the facts to secure a wrongful rap against the parents of a murdered child. ...So, we knew that Hiss was corrupt and that he molded his reports to fit government orders. ...Avi and Nitzana (Darshan) Leitner represent another victim of Dr. Hiss, the family of Alisdair Sinclair.

On April 14, 1998, 47 year old Alisdair Sinclair was stopped by customs officials at Ben Gurion Airport on his way out of the country after a six-day stay. They found 9000 Deutsche marks in a false bottom of his handbag and he was arrested without charge. The police thought the false bottom suggested something illegal, though hiding a large amount of money is a legitimate means of thwarting theft.

At the airport police station, Sinclair was found strangling on his shoelaces. He was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead. From there, his body was transferred to the Abu Kabir Institute For Forensic Medicine and straight into the paws of Dr. Yehuda Hiss, who conducted an autopsy, which concluded that Sinclair, had killed himself.

The Sinclair family started investigating Alisdair's recent life and none of his friends thought him remotely suicidal. Nor did they understand why he was arrested for carrying perfectly legal currency in the first place. ...Enter the British government. Tel Aviv embassy official Suad Andraus was furious, stating, "People do not just die in lockup." The British authorities demand that Dr. Hiss explain what he did with the heart and then return it immediately.

Hiss explained that as a drug smuggling suspect, the heart would have shown "signs of long-term drug abuse." Fine, so why did not he return the heart with the rest of the body? ...Finally he did return it.

And now a most unexpected motive for the whole affair. It was published in the Jerusalem Report, a staid, establishment newsmagazine that is used as a fount of disinformation on behalf of the country's Labor Party. This peculiar passage may be of interest to those questioning Britain's early and deep interest in Zionism, their reverence for Chaim Weizmann, the Balfour Declaration, The British-Israel Society, the Round Table policies of Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner and the like.

According to Alisdair's brother James, family lore has it that the Sinclairs are descended from the crusading Knights Templars, who journeyed to Jerusalem in the mid-1300s in search of holy artifacts from Herod's Temple to bring back to Scottish hero Robert Bruce. Alisdair himself, says James, was particularly proud of his middle name, Roslyn, the name of a chapel in Scotland whose

floor plan is said to be based on Herod's Temple. James mentions these details in attempting to reconstruct his brother's motive for travelling to Israel.

Why the PLO Is Tunneling Under the Temple Mount

In light of the revelation that the PLO is tunneling under the Holy Mount, I would like to give my faithful readers at least a clue as to why. Then we will see how this medieval history explains Alisdair Sinclair's missing heart. Let us begin with a compelling history of the Knights Templar written by two Freemasons, Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, called The Second Messiah. Summarized is their history of the organization:

The Templars were a poor chivalric order, which disdained materialism until their arrival in Jerusalem in the early twelfth century on a papal crusade. Eleven knights dug under the ruins of Solomon's Temple for nine years and hit paydirt. Under the Temple Mount the Templars discovered a network of tunnels where the Jewish priests hid their treasures from the marauding Romans in 70 AD. The knights not only uncovered some of the gold and silver described in the Copper Scroll, of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but the records of the first Jerusalem church of Christianity. This according to Knight and Lomas is precisely what they went digging for.

The first Bishop of the Jerusalem Church was Jesus' brother James. He was aided by Jesus' other siblings, five brothers and two sisters. After the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews, James and his family fled to France, a fact confirmed by the best selling book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. These descendants of the holy Davidic line had the wherewithal to gain wealth throughout Europe and buy vast properties. Over time, they constituted a good chunk of European royalty.

While professing whatever religion the state demanded first worshiping the pantheon of Roman Gods and later papal Christianity, they secretly practiced the Christianity of the early Jerusalem church. These descendants of the priestly line, now called themselves Rex Deus, and passed on their traditions throughout the royal courts of Europe where they ruled. The Rex Deus founded the original Celt church, and St. Patrick of Ireland was a Jew. Other Rex Deus included the Habsburgs, the Stuarts of Scotland, and today's King Juan Carlos of Spain, who includes among his titles, Protector of the Holy Places of Jerusalem.

The Templars returned from their Crusade with vast wealth uncovered under the Temple Mount and initiated a monumental building program in Europe, which ultimately resulted in the construction of over 250 castles and Gothic churches. They now challenged the papacy for political control of Europe, yet the usually jealous Vatican allowed their power to grow unabated. Knight and Lomas insist this is because the Templars had a huge advantage over Rome.

According to their version of events, the Knights uncovered the original records of the Jerusalem Church and they prove that Jesus was a prophet but not a deity. His goal was to organize armed resistance to the Roman tyrants and re-establish an independent Jewish nation. (Lest my Christian readers object, it is more than a little consolation knowing that Knight and Lomas are proud Freemasons and are promoting their own Masonic agenda. There is no obligation to take them theologically at their word.) In addition, the records proved that the Vatican was not practicing Christianity as its founders intended. For example, a pope with exclusive rights of divine interpretation was not part of G-d's plan. If the scrolls were made public, they would jeopardize Rome's legitimacy.

However, historically they are on solider ground because the rest of their tale is mostly provable fact. In the fourteenth century, the French king known as Philip the Fair coordinated a purge of the Templars in coordination with the Holy See. Their properties were seized and their leader, in fact the last Templar leader, Jacques de Molay was brutally tortured by crucifixion until he confessed to the sins of his Order. He survived the first round of torture and a linen cloth was placed over him to absorb his blood and keep him warm. This cloth became known as the Shroud of Turin and the authors' arguments for this claim are superbly grounded in fact.

A group of Templars led by the St. Clair clan escaped the French siege by ship and landed in Scotland, a safe port since it was ruled by the Rex Deus member, Robert the Bruce [whose] heart was transported to Jerusalem for burial.

An unpublished historian of the Templars, Daniel Leary notes:

The name Sinclair comes from the hermit St. Clare or St. Clere, who lived near the town that is now called St. Clair sur l'Epte, northwest of Paris, France. Sinclair's ancestors took their surname from their ancestor Rollo the Viking.

"...Rollo's descendants included the nine St. Clare knights who accompanied their cousin William the Conqueror (also a descendant of Rollo) to England in 1066.

"...The Sinclairs played a prominent role in the history of the British Isles and were particularly important in Scotland.

S A V E   I S R A E L: The Vatican's Plot against Israel

by Barry Camish

Part II

According to Knight and Lomas, [The Second Messiah] the French Templars brought with them the damning scrolls from under the Jerusalem Temple Mount and built a chapel in Rosslyn, near Edinburgh to house them. The chapel, built by William Sinclair (1415- 1482), which exists today, was built according to the specifications of the Herodian Temple and an exact duplicate of the Western Wall was constructed alongside it. To hide their now-banned Templar roots; the Knights formed a new organization, Freemasonry, whose rites were precisely those set down in the scrolls recovered from beneath Jerusalem's Temple Mount.

However, other writers share a different version of events, insisting the Templars and the Vatican remained partners throughout their public trials. F. Tupper Saussy in his excellent book, Rulers of Evil writes:

On March 22, 1312, Clement V dissolved the Knights Templar with his decree Vox clamantis. But the dissolution proved a mere formality to further appease Philip (the Fair). More importantly, it permitted the Templars, in other manifestations to continue enriching the papacy. ...A subtle provision in Vox clamantis transferred most Templar estates to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. In Germany and Austria, the Templars became "Rosicrucians" and "Teutonic Knights." Six centuries later, as the "Teutonic Order," the Knights would provide the nucleus of Adolph Hitler's political support in Munich and Vienna.

In his massive work Vatican Assassins, Eric Jon Phelps comes to practically the same conclusion. In his version of events, the Jesuit Order infiltrated Scottish Freemasonry in the sixteenth century and since then, the Templars have been doing the work of the true ruler of the Vatican, the Supreme General of the Jesuits who both Saussy and Phelps call, the Black Pope. Daniel Leary concurs on the Templar/Vatican alliance.

These 2nd sons of European gentry have had a long close relationship with Rome and still act as the Vatican's bankers and intelligence operatives. Plus, they're current membership includes a rouges gallery of modern intrigue, not the least of which being the father of the US president elect, former president George Bush Sr..."

We now jump to 1993 and a "peace" process has begun between Israel and the PLO. In March 1994, the newspaper Chadashot revealed a most remarkable secret of the Middle East "peace" process. A friend of Shimon Peres, the French intellectual Marek Halter,

claimed in an interview that in May 1993, he delivered a letter from Peres to the pope. Within, Peres promised to internationalize Jerusalem, granting the UN political control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Vatican hegemony of the holy sites within. The UN would give the PLO a capital within its new territory and East Jerusalem would become a kind of free trade zone of world diplomacy. The Italian newspaper La Stampa backed halter's claim.

In March 1995, the Israeli radio station Arutz Sheva was leaked a cable from the Israeli Embassy in Rome to Peres's Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem confirming the hand over of Jerusalem to the Vatican. This cable was printed on the front page of the radical leftwing Israeli newspaper, Haaretz two days later. ...In the widely distributed minutes of a meeting with Clinton in 1997, Peres reiterated his diplomacy, ending with the words, "as I had previously promised the Holy See."

Peres's partner in crime, and the real founder of the Oslo Accord, Yossi Beilin, coordinated his PLO policy with the Vatican. Check the timing; at the same moment that he was finagling an accord with the PLO, he was negotiating an agreement for Vatican recognition of Israel. His deal with the pope became another brief scandal when politicians like Agudat Yisrael head Avraham Shapira and Jerusalem Deputy Mayor, Shmuel Meir were leaked hidden details of Beilin's accord which included, "the extra-territoriality of holy sites in Jerusalem to be transferred to Vatican control." Later, Shapira was neutralized by having $250 million is debts accrued by his crooked carpet factory forgiven, while Meir was permanently hushed when his car was crushed by a UN truck driven by a PLO driver. The driver, of course, was released forever after being briefly questioned by Israel Police.

By 2001, the current Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami was shuttling between King Carlos of Spain and the Vatican. That is where the action is for the Israeli government today, and when things get serious, the focus shifts to Paris where Chirac, the US Secretary of State, and Arafat await him.

There is no question whatsoever that the Vatican wants Israel off the Temple Mount and that the Israeli leadership is accommodating their desire. But the PLO has plans of its own. By the summer of 2000, they began digging under the Temple Mount in earnest. Originally, they claimed they were simply expanding a mosque under Solomon's Stables, beneath the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem's walled Old City. However, the huge mounds of earth and artifacts from the Second Temple that were being dumped in nearby wadis betrayed a much more extensive plan.

On January 26, 2001, the Israeli government's television outlet, Channel One, broadcast a video clip secretly filmed under the Shrine of Omar, the 7th century Islamic building which may have been deliberately constructed over the Holy of Holies, the most sacred prayer room of the ancient Temple. The video revealed a new and massive tunnel aimed directly at the most sacred core of Solomon's and later, Herod's Temples.

The PLO are after not only the treasures buried beneath the Temple to deplete their morally and financially bankrupt regime of terror but must be looking for more scrolls that can be used to blackmail the Vatican and thus get their way in world diplomacy. This is why PM Barak is willing to cede the surface on the Temple Mount to the PLO but insists on keeping Israeli sovereignty below ground.

The Vatican is terrified that the Jews will uncover the truth under the Temple, whatever it may be. It is essential for them that Israel is removed from the Holy Mount. And they are not alone in this desire. Now we come full circle to Alisdair Sinclair's heart.

On Jan. 4, 2001, Colin Grant published a full front-page expose of the scandal in the Glasgow Sunday Post. He revealed that the Knights Templar, as descendents the Davidic line believe they have a right to reclaim the Temple Mount as their rightful heritage:

A spokesman for Militi Templi Scotia, the Scottish Knights Templar admitted to the Sunday Post, ''We are currently involved in an attempt to remove control of the holy sites

from the Israeli government. We believe the United Nations should administer them working with the UN and NATO to achieve that goal."

A secret medieval battle over the Temple Mount is being conducted in Israel today and unless it can be stopped, this skirmish has the potential of dragging the whole planet into war.

Talks, during the meeting, dealt with bilateral relations between the two countries.

There is still room for optimism, Palestinian Planning and International Cooperation Minister Nabil Shaath told Jerusalem Post Radio this afternoon.

***Now, let us look at how Shaat coordinated his Spanish orders with then Israeli Foreign Minister, and Juan Carlos' spy in the Knesset, Shlomo Ben Ami.***

Jerusalem Post or http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2000/08/13/News/News.10828.html Arafat fails to get backing to declare state. Meanwhile, Acting Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, currently in Spain, said that if Arafat does go ahead and declare his state on September 13 it would likely cause "irreversible damage" to the peace process.

Ben-Ami's comment came during a meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Pique in Barcelona, on the second leg of a five-day journey to Turkey, Spain, France, Italy, and the Vatican to counter Arafat's globetrotting efforts in search of international support.

Ben-Ami warned at a press conference yesterday that Israel might take its own unilateral measures to counteract the declaration of a state by the Palestinians. "When someone breaks the rules of the game, it is possible that the other part takes unilateral measures as well," he said.

Ben-Ami asked Pique to use his influence in Spain and in the European Union to get Arafat to display a more "pragmatic approach" on the negotiations. "You should warn Arafat about losing an historic opportunity that may not return," he said.

Pique, who met earlier in the day with PA Planning Minister Nabil Shaath, said he would work inside the European Union to ensure that it coordinates its position on a Palestinian state with the US.

At a press conference in Madrid yesterday after meeting Javier Solana, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Ben-Ami, a former ambassador to Spain, said he would like Spanish King Juan Carlos to play a mediating role with Arab countries in peace talks focusing on the future of Jerusalem. "I have asked Pique to see if it is possible for King

Juan Carlos to use his good relationships with some Arab countries to make the parties move closer about Jerusalem," Ben-Ami said.

Ben-Ami said the two sides had an historic opportunity to reach peace, but he played down the prospects for a new summit with the Palestinians. He had raised the possibility in Barcelona of "a short, decisive" meeting before September 13. "Our peace strategy leads to the possibility that perhaps, some time in the month of September, possibly at the end of the month, we will be ready to go to a summit in which we would be able to make decisions and reach the end of the conflict," Ben-Ami said.

June 29, 2001, King Juan Carlos receives Prince Salman at the outset of his official visit to Spain. The Spanish monarch: Saudi Arabia and Spain can play a role in contributing to reaching a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region.

Emir of Riyadh Region: The nature of our links is the product of the two peoples' moral and the cultural and historical heritage.

King Juan Carlos I of Spain announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Spain could play a growing role to contribute to reaching a just, comprehensive and lasting peace for which all peoples in the region are longing. ''The intimate friendship which binds our two families is not but a true picture that reflects the distinguished relations which binds our two peoples and countries, and which draw its roots from history.''

Prince Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz, Emir of Riyadh Region, had arrived in Madrid for several days official visit. [He] was received at the airport by Crown Prince of Spain Don Felipe De Borbon, who is also the Prince of Asturias, Fernando De Almansa, Chief of the Royal Palace, along with the Director of Foreign Policy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the military corps in Madrid.

In an address during a banquet, King Juan Carlos of Spain has affirmed that the current visit of Prince Salman Ibn Abdul Aziz, Emir of Riyadh Region to Spain, will strengthen bilateral relations and enhance cooperation in various fields between the two countries. King Juan Carlos said ''the visit of the Emir of Riyadh Region to Spain, reflects the existing strong ties between the two countries.''

The King of Spain asked Prince Salman to convey his best wishes and greetings to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz. ''Spanish companies and investors are following up with great interest the opportunities that are available in Saudi Arabia,'' King Juan Carlos said.

With regard to the peace process in the Middle East region, King Juan Carlos said that "Spain is following with great care and interest the difficult stage which the peace process is witnessing, but he added that it seems there is a little hope following eight months of violence. ''The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Spain can play a larger role in contributing to reaching a just, comprehensive and lasting peace for which all peoples in the region are longing,'' King Juan Carlos said.

King Juan Carlos also said that "after six months Spain will preside [over] the EU and there will be a lot of fields in which opportunities for enhancing and intensifying cooperation and relations would be opened."
