Mae Brussell: Fritz Kraemer and Gladio

[Peter Lemkin]

John Judge, I know, had more to say about Kraemer - they are somewhere on mp3 files, likely not in transcript form...will keep looking.

I recommend Target: Patton in which Robert Wilcox presents a case for a combined operation such as The Package, 1989, Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones.

Patton was returning to California to run for U.S. Senate and the White House.

He would not be a competitor of Eisenhower.

A similar fate occurred to General Lebed in 2003 with his demise in a helicopter crash, eliminating Putin's biggest challenge.

Many thanks for the links Peter and Phil!

Just as an aside I found it interesting to see Errol Flynn's name there as being signed up for the Nazis. As well as working with Ronald Reagan he also lived with and was close friend of David Niven who was quite high ranking in the Commandos on the British side. Flynn was also on the ground in Cuba just after the Revolution and was the first to interview Castro on film. There was an Australian documentary made of it a few years ago. Errol being an Australian and all that. Well, Tasmanian anyway. I may have posted it here if I recall.

Mae Brussell also had more to say on F. K. than is now on this thread. It is not easy searching to find the stuff, at times. Yes, Flynn was a well-known Nazi and Reagan too [remember Bitberg?!]. Just after Castro took over, the American's and CIA actually liked him and thought they could control him - that didn't last long, as most know. I posted just a few days ago about Patton, and now can't find it. The book Phil suggested, I had also. It was, IMO, not to stop Patton from competing with Eisenhower that got him killed [in the hospital after a rather minor injury from a planned car crash], but rather the fear that his famous big and loud mouth [and honesty] would disclose how much of the Nazi treasure and secret weapons, scientists, etc. were moved over to the American side of the 'ledger' without public knowledge. Remember, he made a rapid dash south toward Prague and wanted to take Prague, but was told to just sit on his hands, as there had been a deal for the Soviets to take Prague. Along the way he found many Nazi stashes of money, gold, paintings and art, secret weapons systems, etc. As he waited outside Pilsen [just SW of Prague] with his troops, nearly going mad at being told NOT to take Prague [which he said he could take in a day or two], he sent expeditionary forces into and past Prague to make deals with various Nazi Generals about certain things. He knew too much for those in power to have him live, even though he was as famous and as honored as Eisenhower - perhaps more.
