David Emory

From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)

David Emory, self described anti-fascist researcher, is an American talk radio host and personality based in Ben Lomond, California. He has produced, written and hosted several series, namely "The Guns of November," "From the Archives," "One Step Beyond," and "Anti-Fascist Archives" (formerly "Radio Free America"). Currently his "For the Record" series airs every Tuesday on WFMU. Descriptions, summaries and recordings of his shows are archived and maintained by Spitfire Infotech [1] and WFMU.

Since the 1980s, Emory's radio shows have covered a wide range of topics, focusing mainly on the various historical manifestations of Fascism (Corporatism, Cartelism, as well as the Fascist and Totalitarian movements of the early 20th century), the Cold War, and Neoliberalism or Global Capitalism. Emory has placed special emphasis on the Kennedy assassination, the Third Reich, German industry and banking, Islamic fascist groups, 9/11, the Bush family, international intelligence, Neo-Fascism and cults.

Kevin Coogan, author of a critical book about Francis Parker Yockey and the Postwar Fascist International, has been a frequent guest on Emory's show. Other guests include former U.S. Department of Justice special investigator, Nazi-hunter and author John Loftus, authors Sterling and Peggy Seagrave, investigative journalists Lucy Komisar and Robert Parry, and outsider journalist Daniel Hopsicker.

Theory of "The Underground Reich"

As his central thesis, Emory maintains that the combined interests of primarily German chemical and heavy industry, plus banking and finance of the early 20th century, having facilitated Hitler's rise to power and armed the Third Reich, survived the war. Just as individual German and Japanese war criminals, collaborators, businessmen, military and government officials had escaped retribution to find refuge and patronage under the U.S. mantle of anti-Communism during the Cold War, so had these interests regenerated and revitalized themselves within Western military and intelligence institutions, as well as in political parties and multinational corporations. Thus, as described by Emory, "The Underground Reich" represents an obscure, sinister, yet characteristic trait of global capitalism itself.

Paul Manning, Martin Bormann, and the "Bormann Organization"

Martin Bormann and the German flight capital effort in the waning years of the war feature prominently in Emory's work.[2][3] Emory's primary source is the 1981 book, Martin Bormann, Nazi in Exile by Paul Manning (ISBN 0-8184-0309-8),[4] though a number of books published in the years following the war corroborate details of Manning's description of German flight capital, and the postwar Nazi underground.[5]

The Islamic-Fascist Axis

In a "For The Record" segment aired in July, 2005, "More on the History of the Islamic-Fascist Axis," Emory alleges that in private law practice, current US Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff represented Dr. Magdy el-Amir, a financier of al-Qaeda.[6] This connection is representative of a subject Emory has delved into in previous shows. [7][8] He has also noted the historical connections between the Third Reich and the Muslim Brotherhood[9]; between the C.I.A. and A. Q. Khan's nuclear arms acquisitions for Pakistan[10]; between Republican lobbyist Grover Norquist, strategist Karl Rove and the Islamic Institute [11]; and between the George W. Bush administration and the government of Dubai[12].

A recurrent criticism of Emory is his scant attention to Israel and Zionism in the context of the Underground Reich theory [13]. As can be seen by the preceding link to Mr. Emory's cached articles on the subject of the Fascist/Zionist connection, the criticism has no substance.
