In Pt. II of our survey of curious evidence possibly indicating a continuum from Catholic military orders like the Knights Templar, Hospitaller, & Knights of the Cross with the Red Star to esoteric Protestant movements like Rosicrucianism... on to Freemasonry and all the way to the Red Cross, we discuss: 

The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ & the Temple of Solomon origin story; the Knight & Grand Master Hugues de Payens; Pope Innocent II; King Baldwin; Solomon's Temple; passing mention of Baphomet & decapitated reliquary legends; Bernard of Clairvaux; Cistercians; the Templars as favored "charity" of Euro aristocracy & the Holy See (another Red Cross similarity); transmutation into transnational corporation; Red Cross & Swiss neutrality kinda mirrored in the fact the vast majority of Templars were noncombatants; Knights Hospitaller history; Blessed Gerard; Church of the Holy Sepulchre; militarization during du Puys reign; Hospitaller heraldry also evoking RC & Templars; the "Bohemian" (Austrian, Czech, & German) Knights of the Cross w/ the Red Star, directly inspired by the Hospitallers; similarly to the Templars & ARC, a society initially intended to serve the poor & sick gradually morphs into amorphous corporation; Archbishop of Prague becoming de facto Grandmaster of the Order for a 150 years (15/ 1600s), using Red Star coffers to subsidize the bishops' lifestyle; Swiss founders of the Red Cross; Swiss General & army engineer Guillaume Henri Dufour; his service as Captain w/ Napoleon's forces; reception of the Legion d'Honneur; engineering suspension bridges & gas lights; his tutelage of Napoleon's nephew at a military academy (possible indication of Freemasonic connections); Dufour's parents living in exile from Switzerland at the time of his birth bc of their involvement in the Genevan Revolution of 1782; Dufour playing a major role in the transition from Old Swiss Confederacy to modern Swiss confederation thru his military campaign against the Catholic cantons (Sonderbund); the most famous of the Swiss founders—Henry Dunant; Calvinist upbringing; Dunant's v instructive involvement in founding the first YMCA in Switzerland; uncanny connections b/w the YMCA & the Red Cross, which dbls back to previous EPs on the Wall St. Putsch & W.D. Pelley; Business Plot organizer & American Legion financer Grayson MP Murphy serving as ARC commissioner in Europe; stray thoughts about the utility of these kinds of orgs for both espionage & colonial purposes; Dunant's colonial business venture in French-controlled Algeria; the Battle of Solferino, which he witnessed bc he was traveling to meet Napoleon III & secure land rights; likelihood that Dunant's business was at least super exploitative if not dependent on slave labor; his ouster from the Red Cross "Committee of Five" after Credit Genevois's bankruptcy, causing him to become embroiled in financial scandal; his probable embezzlement of RC funds, judging by the fact Moynier et al refused him awards monies that had initially been promised; after 25 years of poverty & obscurity, Dunant becomes the darling of Euro aristocrats & receives the VERY 1ST Nobel Peace Prize; bringing us to the instructive life of Alfred Nobel—Swedish chemist, arms trader, & industrial espionage agent; invention of dynamite; the 90 armaments factories he owned at the end of his life; accusations in French press that Nobel committed "high treason" & spied on a French inventor following his decision to sign a prod. contract for 100ks of kgs of the propellant "Ballistite" w/ the Italian gov't; all of which brings us back to the Red Cross's role in the perpetuation of warfare.

"Speculative Swiss-mania (Pt. I)" includes discussions of the following:

A secret history of the Red Cross; the possibility that Catholic military orders like the Knights Templar & Hospitaller served as the blueprint for the RC's Swiss founders; John D. Rockefeller's involvement in the ARC's founding in Dansville, NY; conspiracy theories that the Old Swiss Confederacy is rooted in a diaspora of Templar knights; a disclaimer about the apparent "Holy Blood Holy Grail", Priory of Sion, & Dan Brown influence on this idea; early unification of Swiss cantons occurring around the Templar inquisition & persecution; geographical proximity; Templars purportedly aiding Swiss countryfolk in combat the 1300s; the preemptive removal of the Templar treasure horde from Paris; the banking connection; overland Templar trade routes thru the Alps; Templar "letters of credit"; Templar symbols appearing in Swiss cantons & heraldry; the whole square flag thing (Swiss & Vatican); the Red Cross being the insignia of both the Templars & Hospitallers & an inversion of the Swiss flag; the Geneva Convention stipulation enforcing nurses to wear Red Cross armlets on the battlefield; the Conventions ratifying international neutrality for medical workers, field hospitals, & the wounded—essentially deciding the etiquette of modern warfare; Red Cross founder Henri Dunant & his Calvinist upbringing in Geneva; the Austro-Sardinian War & battle of Solferino; the Committee of Five; Red Cross founder & Swiss General Guillaume Henri-Dufour, who served under Napoleon & taught his nephew at a military academy; the "neutrality" angle, another indicator of potential Templar & Hospitaller influence on both Swiss history & the Red Cross; RC General Dufour presiding over the first Geneva Convention; Knights Hospitaller's express purpose of providing care to pilgrims & the wounded during Crusades; King Philip le Bel's betrayal of the Knights Templar in 1309; his effective assassination of Pope Boniface; the geopolitical games that informed the obliteration of the Templars, namely King Philip's attempts to weaken the Papacy & consolidate his power; his struggle for territory in Gascony w/ English King Edward, foreshadowing historical trends in British-French relations that we'll explore via the lens of French-Scottish Masonic ties & infighting b/w the aforementioned & British Masonry; King Philip's secret Scottish pact; Jacques de Molay's curse; Hellfire Club founder the Duke of Wharton's seminal role in founding the Grand Orient de France (Masonic); his Jacobitism & support of the "Old Pretender"; Wharton's rakish travels w/ a Calvinist tutor in Switzerland; the Masonic "Great Schism" in the late 1800s & the Lausanne Conference of 1875, where Swiss Masons were employed in mediating international Masonic deliberations focused on reframing the Scottish Rite & revising its charter; Switzerland's admittedly curious role as mediator on the world stage; Scottish & French Masons aiding the nascent US during the War of Independence; King Philip the Fair marrying his sister Margaret off to King Edward = the germ of the Hundred Years War; the first Estates-General being summoned during Philip's power struggle w/ Pope Boniface; Pope Boniface's abduction & the installation of Pope Clement leading to the abolition of the Knights Templar & the Templar Inquisition; etc.

Hopefully y'all will find this miniseries fascinating. We embark on a forensic investigation into the uncanniness of the Lahaina fire; Chief John Pelletier's Las Vegas shooting "emergency response" leadership & the attendant implications for conspiracy theorizing about the fire; and an unpacking of the many instances of municipal/ state/ federal negligence, incompetence, &/or more that justify such speculations. 

We juxtapose this w/ a secret history of the imperial "disaster relief" grift known as the American Red Cross & the fraud & embezzlement scandals that have stained its modern history (Haiti, Katrina, et al), as well as its many connections to the DoD, its official monopoly on humanitarian aid in the US, oversight by the American military, & the numerous military industrial complex & weapons manufacturer donations the non-profit receives on the reg... This will set up an even more schizo & thorough secret history of the Int'l Red Cross & Red Crescent movements, as well as the Clara Barton-founded American iteration in the subsequent installments. 

Songs: 

| Don Ho - "Tiny Bubbles" | 

| The Flying Burrito Brothers - "Sin City" |

For the 1st time, I'm joined on the show by another livin' breathing, critically paranoid podcaster. Luke Marshall from Things Observed has arrived to help guide a collab investigation into the mental life & times of the Nazi Nostradamus, sexual blackmailer, & psychic spy known as Erik Jan Hanussen. A Crowleyan figure who, as we'll see, may have been a British intel asset (it's not unlikely that he worked directly with the Beast 666 himself in some capacity)... We're talking about the Jewish telepath who attempted to blackmail his way into becoming the Nazi "Minister of the Occult" & who was ultimately assassinated by the orders of SA-Gruppenführer Karl Ernst, a murder likely connected to Hanussen's involvement in the Reichstag Fire (or prior knowledge of it). In Pt. II, we explore interpretations of Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & claims that he hypnotized the "Communist" patsy Marinus van der Lubbe, who was ultimately pinned w/ the crime.

Similarly, make sure to follow Luke on Twitter (@thingobserver) & check out his podcast "Things Observed"(patreon.com/ThingsObserved).

We unpack a ton... Hanussen's early life as a vaudeville brat & carny in fin de siècle Austro-Hungary; his possible Sabbatean or Frankist lineage, an antinomian inheritance that's interesting to consider when juxtaposed w/ his future Nazism; his WWI service & cemetery séances; his bribery of military censors; his telepathic & mentalist routines; connections to experimental psychologists like Joe Labéro, Sigmund Freud, & Paul Schilder; "muscle reading", which connects to MasSUSchusetts proponents of hypnotherapy like William James; criminal telepathy; Hanussen's work as a hypnotist at the Institute for Breath Therapy & the Spittalgasse nerve clinic, which hints at his later hypnosis of a tobacco magnate, which would in turn lead to Hanussen getting involved in arms trading & espionage; Hanussen's attempt to insert himself into the investigation into one of Germany's most deadly & disgusting serial killers ever—the Vampire of Düsseldorf aka Peter Kurten; a possible proto-MKULTRA angle to the Düsseldorf killing; shades of Thelemic sex magic in Kurten's paraphilia, which foreshadows the possible connections b/w Crowley & Hanussen that we'll discuss in more detail in Pt. II; Hanussen's early sexual blackmail experiences while working for the Viennese tabloid Der Blitz, which prefigures his later blackmail of Nazis like Count Helldorf on his pleasure yacht the Ursel IV; and a ton more.

Disclaimer: the notes are going to be brief & the audio may be a little funky in places once again—w/ the occasional faint collegiate-aged screams & echo-y dormitory ambient noises, as I'm currently helping my wife move & settle in as she begins a graduate program, so apologies if it's subpar at points. I should be back to my makeshift studio for subsequent EPs.

Hop on the Hindenburg & pop over to Babylon Berlin, where we will use BB character Dr. Anno Schmidt as a prism thru which we can examine a handful of historical hypno valences, the subliminal undercurrent gurgling through the National Socialistic discharge of Weimar Germany. In today's EP, we discuss:

Necessary Babylon Berlin exposition; protagonists - Vice & later Homicide Detective Gereon Rath (which I accidentally keep mispronouncing in this EP) & the assistant gumshoe Charlotte; we break down Dr. Schmidt's inhumane experiments w/ the methamphetamine Pervitin on weasels, wolves, & even humans; foreshadows of the Nazi weaponization of psychoactive drugs to program their shock troops into fearless Übermensch-berserkers; Dr. Schmidt's Institute for Suggestive Therapy (hypno-suggestive title there), where he uses hypnosis to treat WWI vets, morphine addicts, & the homeless; points of reference for Dr. Schmidt's character: Erik Jan Hanussen, Dr. Max Nonne, & Dr. Mabuse from Fritz Lang films; some antecedents of the rise of Nazism—economic imperialism, residual wartime mass trauma, cultural hegemony, mass manipulation; night club Moka Efti, which actually existed; themes of automatism, transhumanism, & Social Darwinism; Gereon's fraught relationship w/ his brother Dr. Schmidt; wartime service together; S1 & S2 bookended w/ scenes of Gereon being hypnotized by Schmidt; Dr. Schmidt's name = real life Dr. Heinrich Schmidt, a wretched SS member & "First Camp Physician" at Buchenwald, Dachau, etc.; the real life Schmidt's prosecution post-WWII; accusations against him, including that he murdered 8 ppl by withholding care & the selection of gas chambers; the fact that real Dr. Schmidt may have been acquitted, in part, because of his repeated collaboration w/ the Allies immediately following the war—including acting as a witness in the Bergen-Belsen Trials & the fact that he worked as "Senior Doctor" at the Allied-run Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons Camp immediately following Nazi surrender 

Alt., we consider Dr. Schmidt as allusion to Ernst Schmidt, a fellow messenger that was present on a dangerous courier mission when a Brit grenade exploded & shot shrapnel into Lance Corporal Hitler's leg; we compare this incident to the crucial moment of Gereon's abandonment of his brother Dr. Schmidt in no man's land; Schmidt brings us to Hitler's near-death in the Maximillian II barracks after the war, when he Freikorps executed 1 out of 10 soldiers stationed there for suspicions of being Red Army; Hitler spying; a Palm Sunday Putsch reference; further similarities between Dr. Anno Schmidt & Hitler, including their respective gas attacks & interest in the occult; speaking of which, Dr. Schmidt is a member of the Fraternitas Saturni; the nightmarish mustard gas lung "sloughing" effect; we explore the Black Reichswehr; we juxtapose the Black Reichswehr & Freikorps w/ the American Legion; we compare the dinner that Gereon attends at his fascist Polizei partner Bruno's house & the "stab-in-the-back" myths promulgated during it to W.D. Pelley's antisemitism; direct connections b/w Black Reichswehr & Nazis; the Küstrin Putsch & attempt to overthrow Gustav Stresemann's administration; Gereon's partner Bruno's name probably being a reference to Black Reichswehr commando Bruno Buchrucker; a possible connection b/w paramilitaries & hypnotherapy in the show... via the Black Reichswehr's primary funder, the German industrialist fail-son Alfred Nyssen (who is definitely a composite of Thyssen & Krupp); Nyssen is a manic depressive & his doktor is—you guessed it—Anno Schmidt.

Hey there, Theta Chi & Masonic Templar MK-ULTRA Dr's class of 1926! Welcome back to campus. It's Hypno Harvard Pledge Week. Time for a mini-dive into the formation of the Harvard Psychology Clinic & the lives of some of the MKULTRA & intel-affiliated doctors that graced its halls w/ their hypnosuggestive whispers & scraped the brains of "shell shocked" WWI veterans. We're talking Herr Doctors Estabrooks, Murray, Langer, Beecher, Morton Prince, Orne, Cameron, Milton Erickson, etc. & a veritable sanitarium of hypnotherapists & mad MK scientists who I don't have the time to list this second. We're back in MasSUSchusetts for a second before we take that transatlantic Hindenburg zeppelin flight (waft? float?) and touch down in Babylon Babelsberg Berlin. A Lowell-Lawrence makes an appearance in this one; as does Alfred North Whitehead. 

We spend half our time w/ Murray, his work in agent profiling for the OSS & British Intelligence, his lover's sexually-fraught mentor-mentee relationship w/ Carl Jung, Murray's work w/ Walter Langer, with whom he'd write the psychoanalytical report on Hitler at Wild Bill Donovan's behest. There's more Wild Bill in this one—+ good old J. Edgar Hoover! You'll hear the voice of Admiral & CIA Director Stansfield Turner from the MKULTRA hearings briefly, as well as numerous clips from the 1970s TV documentary "Mission Mind Control".

We spend the meat of the EP on George H. Estabrooks, his 1943 text "Hypnotism", his role in formulating MK & super courier procedures, his Cardinal Mindszenty propaganda, the fact that he & Hitler both suffered gas attacks in Ypres (Belgium), the fact he was likely hypnotized after said disastrous experience on the Western Front, his 33° wedding in Rome, & his many, many sus scientific, military, & academic connections. We break it all down, showing how he began consulting w/ MID, the War Dep't, & the OSS years & years before BLUEBIRD, ARTICHOKE, or MKULTRA came in to being... Perfectly encapsulating my argument that WWI hypnotherapy prefigured modern American mind control. 

Oh yeah, and like basically every frickin' MK Dr. is a Harvard Crimson. 

Songs: 

| The Kinks - "Brainwashed" | 

| Michael Abels - "Hypnosis" (Get Out OST) | 

| Mission of Burma - "Learn How" | 

Clips from the previously mentioned ABC doc "Mission Mind Control", as well as the intro to an interview w/ Dr. Henry Murray

The description's going to be relatively brief. I've been scraping out my ears w/ passenger seat audio editing & late night hotel recording over the past couple days... Because I've been hurrying to get you this crucial second part ASAP—as they were initially intended to be a single piece—the description's a lil rushed. Rest assured I'll return to give the full PPM liner notes treatment (does anybody read these things, anyways?).

This is the second installment of a multipart interlude in our Comp. Paranoid Analysis of Nazi Occultism.

We continue w/ our retelling of the metamorphosis of William Dudley Pelley, this time plumbing the depths, combing for possible repressed materials & unconscious memories of hypnotization that may have slipped through the veil of his "Seven Minutes in Eternity". From there, we plummet through the medical machinery that recycled the war neurotic doughboys of WWI into placid-eyed, strikebreaking stormtroopers for the capitalist-enforcing paramilitary founded by the very same industrialists who planned the Wall St. Putsch. Our nosedive through the intersections of the American Legion; their lobbying & fundraising work to bring a slate of brand new psych hospitals for veterans into existence in the post-war years; the influence that wealthy industrialists, military careerists, & figures like Wild Bill Donovan, founding father of the CIA, had on these efforts; and the use of hypnotherapy on shell shocked patients will, ultimately, bring us to the inevitable question of whether the American Legion & military hypnotherapy is a part of the same mind control lineage as Project ARTICHOKE, BLUEBIRD, & MK-ULTRA.

Along the way, we list some of the repo-baby, capitalist-class-defending founding officers of the American Legion... We also get to talk a little Wild Bill Donovan, who was a part of the group of four who initially conceived of the anti-communist (*ahem* fascist *ahem*) veterans paramilitary in direct response to Bolshevism, which once again broaches the question: are the Legion, the Wall St. Putsch, and the AL's approach to military psych treatment the predecessors of MK today?

NOTE: Apologies if the audio is a little wonky in places &/or there are more ambient sounds than usual. You already know about the hotels n traveling—it was a PAIN.
