Something Happened in Paradise: Thermidor in America: A Thesis, 1963-2008

By Leslie Herzberger

Thermidor is just another way of saying Inquisition. At a point in time, the structure is in trouble. You either fix the structure, or you start shooting the people in the life of a complex group called a society. The shooting of people in a complex group, randomly constituted on account of the structure is what we call an Inquisition.

Nearly all historians are 99 percent certain that Stalin oversaw the Kirov murder through the Moscow Cheka (and one well-placed commentator, Volkogonov, calls it certain). I am now told that post-glasnost research has rendered this view more doubtful. All cui bono? considerations point to Stalin: he had at least a dozen reasons for wanting Kirov dead (or 300 reasons: those votes at the Congress of Victors). No other event would have served Stalin so well as a springboard for mass repression. And the subsequent fates of nearly every key player in the murder (no man, no problem) speaks of Stalinist assiduity. True, the crime and the cover-up were haphazardly managed; it is particularly hard to understand the Cheka’s selection of Nikolayev, a figure of almost epileptic instability. But he finished the job: Kirov was dead. Anyway, Stalin’s guilt in the matter, when set beside his greater guilt, is another near-irrelevance. Perhaps we should throw our hands in the air and attribute Nikolayev to mere Stalinian voodoo, like his magically timed, stroke-inducing affronts to Lenin in 1922-23. The point is that the momentum for terror had already gathered. Kirov’s murder gave rise to a prodigiously exaggerated version of the Rohm purge (June 30, 1934); but its real equivalent was the Reichstag Fire of the previous year. Nikolayev simply saved Stalin the trouble of torching the Kremlin.

The top Leningrad Chekists were in attendance when the night train from Moscow pulled into the station. Stalin approached their chief, Medved, and, instead of patting him on the back, slapped him across the face. A student of Machiavelli, Stalin knew that the Prince must be an actor. At Kirov’s state funeral there was a more sinister piece of showmanship: Stalin kissed Kirov’s corpse.

Borisov, the personal bodyguard, was not with Kirov when Nikolayev struck (it is thought that some Moscow Chekists detained or distracted him at the door). Late in the morning of December 2, he as sent by lorry to the Smolny, there to be interrogated by Stalin. On Voinov Street there was a minor accident. The driver and the three Cheka guards were unhurt. Borisov was dead. They had used iron bars on him in the back of the truck.

Downward selection had long been about its work, and the cadres were ready; the punitive organs were ready. As Sergo Ordzhonikidze, who would kill himself three years later, remarked to none other than Sergei Kirov in January 1934: Our members who saw the situation in 1932-33 and who stood up to it are now tempered like steel. I think that with people like that, we can build a state such as history has never seen.

German Aid

For Victims

Of Torture

By STEPHEN KINZER

BERLIN, Dec. 13—When Johannes Hundee Hurisso was released after 12 years in an Ethiopian prison, torture had devastated both his mind and body.

Guards had beaten him relentlessly in what they said were efforts to chase the devils of counterrevolution from your mind, and upon his release in 1991 he was unable to walk and barely able to breathe.

Today, after three years of treatment at a Berlin clinic, Mr. Hurisso considers himself 70 percent healed.

I thought my pains could be cured with medicine, but I was wrong, he said. Medicine did not help to cure the torture virus.

The Berlin Treatment Center for Torture Victims, founded in 1992, is one of about 40 such clinics established in Europe.

With a staff of 14 and an annual budget of about $1 million, the Berlin center occupies several rooms in a sprawling medical complex run jointly by a local university and the German Red Cross.

Mr. Hurisso, a former newspaper editor, made his way to the Berlin center with help from the human rights group Amnesty international, which had taken up his case while he was in prison. After treatment for deep wounds into which torturers had rubbed salt, and for lung ailments that left him coughing up blood, he began psychological treatment.

It begins with counselors trying to persuade the patients to discuss what they have suffered. Later it moves on to relaxation exercises, some of which are recorded on tapes for patients to take home, various forms of physiotherapy and sports, and in some cases music or art therapy.

The largest number of patients at the Berlin center are Kurds who have emerged from prisons in Turkey and Iran. People from the Balkans make up an ever-increasing portion, and the patient list also includes men and women from Iraq, Syria, Romania, India, Lebanon and Tunisia. Several victims of the Stasi, East Germany’s secret police agency, are also under treatment.

In many countries, methods of psychological torture, especially isolated confinement, sexual abuse and forcing victims to watch family members—suffer, are becoming increasingly refined, said Dr. Mechthild Wenk-Ansohn, one of the staff doctors. Unfortunately many of our colleagues, doctors, are involved in developing methods of torture that do not leave the physical traces we normally associate with torture.

We naturally try to treat the physical symptoms of our patients first, but the psychological symptoms are often much harder to cure, Dr. Wenk-Ansohn said. "One of our patients, for example, is a young girl who was arrested when she was 11 years old in the Kurdish region of Turkey after her father refused to join the local militia.

Her memories of torture are so acute that she can hardly bear to be touched. She told me: ‘The torture has taken root inside me. It’s in every part of my body, and there’s no room left for me.’ [From the New York Times]

Introduction

The Battle of Kursk In History:

Practice For Thermidor

Once upon a time there was an evil empire called the Soviet Union, and it happened upon a monumental tank battle with Nazi Germany called the Battle of Kursk. It was the greatest tank battle in world history, and the Soviet Union won. And Nazi Germany lost. And it turned World War II around, and thereby saved the world. Within the framework of that battle, there were a bunch of KGB Jews working for the Soviet dictator Stalin, who passed themselves off as anti-Stalinist activists, then wormed their way into the Nazi German military fold, and suckered the Germans into moves that helped the Soviets win the Battle of Kursk, and save the world. The KGB Jews did it by willfully sacrificing thousands of Soviet Russian troops to the Nazis, in order to prove their ‘bona fides’ to the Nazis! The Stalinist KGB Jews gave the Nazi German military valuable information on a sustained basis leading up to the Battle of Kursk, that allowed the Nazi military to entrap and kill thousands of Soviet troops. In turn, this allowed the Nazis to trust these KGB Jews as a valuable source of information. When the KGB Jews gave the Nazis one bit of false information, involving the Battle of Kursk, the Nazis swallowed that too as true, as the truth. But this was a lie, misleading the Nazis, leading them to lose the Battle of Kursk, change the course of World War II, and thereby save the world.

The KGB Jews did their job so well that even after World War II, OSS Director Allen Dulles, stationed in Switzerland during the War, refused to believe that these KGB Jews were actually Stalinist loyalists. But they were.

After World War II, these KGB Jews were allowed to emigrate to the Middle East, to form the foundation of Mossad, the Israeli KGB. Their method, so to speak—which became the Mossad method after 1948, the founding date of the Israeli State—remained the same: you sacrifice your friends to prove your ‘bona fides’ to your enemy, then stick it to your enemy at a crucial point, in order to make your enemy choke on it; thereby turning the whole dynamic around, and thereby save something very important—maybe the world, maybe your country, maybe yourself.

I was a friend of Israel—a Jew, too. I was sacrificed by the Israelis to prove their ‘bona fides’ to the Americans, around 1963. They have been at it for 46 years now, between the two of them. The Israelis even volunteered to do the torture for the Americans. They needed the money. But the Israelis needed a lot more, as well, from the Americans. So it continues. In the process, the Israelis, and the Americans, got confused.

The Israelis were KGB. They were also the Jewish Brigade in World War II, trained by the British. They were also some 20,000 Nazi German-Fascist Italy trained Polish-Slavic Ukrainian Jews, sent by Mussolini in Italy to Palestine to disrupt the British Empire in that part of the world, in the years leading up to the battle between good and evil that turned out to be World War II. Their leader, chosen by the Fascist Italian dictator Mussolini, were Yitzak Shamir and Menachem Begin, chosen in the mid-1930’s. These proved to be the foundation of Irgun, the ugly terrorists in the Israeli War of Independence against the British in 1948, and of the Right-wing political party Likud after 1948, in the State of Israel.

So there is the KGB, the social democrats of the Jewish Brigade, and the Nazis of the Likud that together form the foundation of Israel since 1948.

At the same time, the Americans establish the CIA as the foundation of the newly constituted American empire, (to replace the British Empire, the French Empire, the Dutch Empire, and the German Empire). The CIA became its High Command. The CIA appoints—as a coherent group—the surviving Nazi German Eastern Front Intelligence Command dealing with Soviet Russia, together with its Nazi general, as its Soviet counter-intelligence section after World War II. Instead of shooting them, the newly established CIA swallowed them, with its command structure intact, Nazi German commanding General and all—as an integral founding member of the CIA, the American high command.

The catch was that the Nazi German Eastern Intelligence section was thoroughly penetrated by the Soviet Russians, by the KGB. Every agent sent into Soviet Russia by the CIA was caught and executed by them in the 1950’s. The Soviets—the KGB—in turn penetrated the newly formed West German intelligence infrastructure. The Soviets—the KGB—then penetrated the British CIA called MIG. Since the West Germans formed the heart and soul of Nato after World War II, that is no small feat. The Soviets knew what the Americans knew ‘before’ the Americans knew it, so to speak. As did the Israelis. Confusion was bound to follow.

Permit me to give you an instance, or two. Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton came out of the Eugene McCarthy camp as political activists in the early 1970’s. They then participate in taking down Nixon in 1972-1974. Senator McCarthy was exposed in West Germany as being on the CIA payroll as a Left cut-out for the Company. Then Nixon is taken down by the CIA for suing for peace in Vietnam, and opening up to Red China and Soviet Russia both at the height of their respective terror and arrogance. Bob Woodward has Naval Intelligence ties, and Bernstein has Right wing Jewish ties—the last two of Woodward and Bernstein fame in taking down Nixon. In what way are these four Left-wing heroes—Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Woodward and Bernstein—in the process of taking down a Right-wing President between 1972-1974?

The second case is the Israeli Mossad—British MI6—Soviet Russian KGB—Hungarian speaking—Checkoslovakian Orthodox Jew—World War II hero—Holocaust Survivor—best friend of Yitzak Shamir—300 pound paranoid multibillionaire British Press Lord spy named Maxwell, beaten to death by the Israelis in 1991 on the Mediterranean Ocean on his yachth, after the CIA outed him in the N.Y. Times as a KGB double agent. Question: If one is beaten to death by the CIA and Mossad, can anybody tell what part of these two is behind it? Are they motivated by Nazi, KGB, or social democracy? And to what end. And then, Maxwell was buried in the Heroes Graveyard in Jerusalem.

A Government Inquisition:

The Set-Up And The Fix,

Thermidor is just another way of saying Inquisition. At a point in time, the structure is in trouble. You either fix the structure, or you start shooting the people—in the life of a complex group called a society.

I have been set up by the FBI for forty six years now, since 1963.

It all started in 1963 when a Jewish princess named Mimi Gloger, a socialist with a capital S, and no doubt a Zionist with a capital Z, a dark-haired little beauty, said she would go out with me on the condition that I took her to a Fair Play for Cuba Committee meeting on Flatbush Avenue, near Church Avenue, on the second floor of this rickety walk-up next to Albermarle Theatre in Brooklyn, New York. Mimi Gloger was from a Jewish socialist family and she told me that the FBI had smashed in her front picture window because of her family’s socialist politics in 1962, the year of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Red Scare that went with it. In short, she was known to the FBI. And as socialists and Jews, at a time when Israel was both socialist and fervent Zionist, she was into Israel. The president was Kennedy, a fervent progressive Democrat, surrounded by Jews. And the FBI director was the raving Irish paranoid faggot of a Right-wing persuasion, J. Edgar Hoover. Israel was about to go big time in America. They needed putzes to play off. The FBI was about to assassinate President John F. Kennedy as being soft on communism. They were all on the lookout for putzes, along the lines of Lee Harvey Oswald. And this was played out under the progressive auspices of the Democratic Party in America, first under Kennedy and the Jews, then under President Johnson and the Jews, when the Jews transferred their allegiance to Johnson from Kennedy without missing a beat, upon the assassination of President Kennedy by the FBI, the CIA, and the U.S. Military in November of 1963. The Jews came of age, and the Israelis came of age with them, in America in 1963. They were all looking for putzes. The National Security Community had just taken over America, and Israel was in tow, along with the progressive national security Jew. The National Security Community has not let go since. They may never will; the most intelligent dictatorship the world has ever seen. Democracy in America was turned into democracy by conspiracy in November 1963. It has been such ever since. These conspirators needed putzes to facilitate their conspiracies. I was an immigrant. My family comes from a shady communist Jewish background in communist Hungary in 1956. They were made an offer they could not refuse: hand over your son for a national security operation. It was an offer they hardly needed. These are real mean stuff. Hand your son over or else back you go to Hungary for certain death. The occasion of the handover was that meeting I attended with Mimi Gloger in 1963, (prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy), for the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. As I was an immigrant, that was an occasion for the charge of treason leveled against me. Except that was an FBI set-up. I was a naturalized citizen since December, 1961, five years after I arrived in this country in October/November 1956: five years exactly. Once a citizen, in 1961, they can’t charge you with treason for attending a socialist meeting, in
