Documented Evidence of a Secret
Business and Political Alliance
Between the U.S. "Establishment"
and the Nazis - Before, During and
After World War II - up to the Present.
* PREFACE
Before the Gatewood Galbraith for Governor
Campaign in 1991, few Kentuckians knew that the plant
that the federal government had demonized for over 50
years as "Marijuana - Assassin of Youth," was,
in fact, Cannabis Hemp, the most traded commodity in the
world until the mid-1800s, and our state's number one
crop, industry, and most important source of revenue,
for over 150 years.
Today,
thanks to the efforts of pioneer hemp researchers and
public advocates such as Galbraith, Jack Fraizer, Jack
Herer, Chris Conrad, Ed Rosenthal, Don Wirtshafter and
others, the federal government's unjustifiable suppression
of our state's right to develop our most valuable and
versatile natural resource, is facing increasing opposition
from an informed public. Hemp is now recognized as the
number one agriculturally renewable raw material in the
world, and perhaps the only crop / industry which can
guarantee us industrial and economic independence from
the trans-national corporations.
"Shadow
of the Swastika" is a follow-up to my earlier work,
"Cannabis Hemp: the Invisible Prohibition Revealed,"
which I wrote and published in support of the Galbraith
Campaign. Since publication of that booklet, there has
been growing public acceptance of the evidence that Marijuana
Prohibition was created in 1937, not to protect society
from the "evils of the drug Marijuana," as the
Federal government claimed, but as an act of deliberate
economic and industrial sabotage against the re-emerging
Industrial Hemp Industry.
Previous
investigations by hemp researchers have been limited to
the suppression of free-market competition from the hemp
industry, and focused on the activities of three prominent
members of America's corporate, industrial and banking
establishment during the mid- to late-1930s:
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST, the newspaper and magazine tycoon.
The
expected rebirth of cannabis hemp as a less expensive
source of pulp for paper meant his millions of acres of
prime timberland, and investment in wood pulp papermaking
equipment, would soon be worth much less. In the 1920s,
about the same time as the equipment was developed to
economically mass-produce raw hemp into pulp and fiber
for paper, he began the "Reefer Madness" hoax
in his newspaper and magazine publications.
ANDREW
MELLON, founder of the Gulf Oil Corporation.
He
knew that cannabis hemp was an alternative industrial
raw material for the production of thousands of products,
including fuel and plastics, which, if allowed to compete
in the free-market, would threaten the future profits
of the oil companies. As Secretary of the Treasury he
created the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and appointed
his own future nephew-in-law, Harry Anslinger, as director.
Anslinger would later use the sensational, and totally
fabricated, articles published by Hearst, to push the
Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 through Congress, which successfully
destroyed the rebirth of the cannabis hemp industry.
A
prominent member of one Congressional subcommittee who
voted in favor of this bill was Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania,
an oil tycoon and former business partner of Andrew Mellon
in the Spindletop oil fields in Texas.
THE
DU PONT CHEMICAL CORPORATION,
which
owned the patents on synthetic petrochemicals and industrial
processes that promised billions of dollars in future
profits from the sale of wood pulp paper, lead additives
for gasoline, synthetic fibers and plastics, if hemp could
be suppressed. At the time, du Pont family influence in
both government and the private sector was unmatched,
according to historians and journalists.
This
publication, however, reveals documented historical evidence
that the suppression of the hemp industry was only one
key part of a much larger conspiracy in the 1930s, not
only by the three corporate interests named above, but
by many others, as well.
Congressional
records, FBI reports and investigations by the Justice
Department, during the 1930s and 1940s, have already documented
evidence of this wider plot. A list of the corporations
named include Du Pont, Standard Oil, and General Motors,
all of which were proven to be conspiring with Nazi industrial
cartels to eliminate competition world-wide and divide
among themselves the Earth's industrial resources and
commercial markets, for profitable exploitation.
This
conspiracy succeeded. It is now obvious that this lack
of serious competition in the industrial raw materials
market caused our present - and totally contrived - addiction
to petrochemicals. Its success is directly responsible
for the most troubling problems we now face in the 1990s;
serious damage to our environment, concentration of economic
and political power into fewer and fewer hands, and the
weakening of the rights of individuals and states to determine
their own futures.
It
is more and more evident that, given the historical record,
the structure of the New World Order is being built upon
the Foundation of Marijuana Prohibition, and only the
relegalization of free-market hemp competition can save
us.

A
few years later, World War I would forge an even closer
relationship between corporations and government in the
United States, as well as around the world. Anthony Sampson,
in his book "The Arms Bazaar," notes that "the
American companies, led by US Steel and du Pont, were
transformed by war orders. US Steel, which had absorbed
Carnegie's old steel company, had made average annual
profits in the four pre-war years of $105 million, while
in the four war years they were $240 million; and du Pont's
average profit went up from $6 million to $58 million.
. . .
"Certainly
the arms companies had become much richer through the
war, and there were widespread suspicions that they were
actually trying to prolong it." (9)
The
bottom line is, of course, victory or profit, and in what
proportions? To what lengths would this nation's top industrial
leaders go to secure their share of the profits before
and during the next "war to end all war?"
