<<Consider, for instance, the saga of John Trevor Sr. A military intelligence officer shortly after World War I, he was involved in organizing a vigilante group to protect New York City from "subversive" elements >>

<<developed a plan to suppress a mass uprising of Jewish subversives in New York City, going so far as to order 6,000 rifles and a machine gun battalion for deployment in Jewish neighborhoods in anticipation of a disturbance that never took place. >>

<<While rarely acknowledged, it seems that much of the ideology of the modern-day patriot movement was derived by various former high-ranking military officers, more than a few of them with a background in intelligence, who became obsessed with the "communist conspiracy" in the wake of the Second World War. One of the earliest and most adamant proponents of such things was General Albert Wedemeyer. >>

<<.. As late as 1958, Wedemeyer was still voicing pro-Nazi opinions...>

<<Another military intelligence officer who played an enormous role in the spread of communist conspiracy theories was Colonel John Beaty.>>

<<Beaty was, to the best of this researcher's knowledge, the first author in the wake of WWII to revive the highly controversial notion that modern Jews are not descendant from ancient Israel, but are Khazars who converted to Judaism in either the eighth or ninth century A.D>>

Huh.

THAT's interesting cos I was just reading Arthur Koestler saying that.

Eg:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thir

Koestler had some interesting ideas about topics of interest to the parapsychology community (eg synchronicity), but....

He was virulently anti-Communist ('Darkness At Noon') and yeah, seems he ran in the fascist-adjacent circles. As did/do a number of religious, spiritual and parapsych type people.

Darnit.

Why do hecking fascists have to heck everything all up.

what do you do when you agree with some ideas that some people have and then you find out that they're raving Nazis BUT you also don't think that necessarily invalidates all their other ideas

eg, Koestler's idea of 'holarchy', which also appears in a lot of other writers, and is actually kind anti-hierarchical

some Nazis were fond of trees, too
