How Occultists and Bankers Manufactured WW2 Germany w/ Matthew Ehret
1485 segments
All right, Alexander, we are here with
Matthew Erit joining us on the Duran
once again. Matt, how are you doing and
where can people follow your work? Oh,
it's always a pleasure. I'm I'm doing
okay and uh people can follow my work on
canadian.org
or risingtidefoundation.net.
>> All right, I will have those links in
the description box down below as well
as a pinned comment. So, Alexander Matt,
we got uh some interesting topics to to
get to. So, I'll pass it off to to you
gentlemen.
>> So, Ma Mast has been very very active
and very busy and you've been doing work
on um documentaries and articles.
Perhaps we could start by asking you to
tell us a little bit about those, Matt.
>> Most certainly. Yeah. My wife and I
recently unleashed a new documentary
called Black Sun Rising. uh just two 3
weeks ago and uh we accompanied that
with a special report a 200page
uh large scale booklet uh to just
accompany the documentary which deals
with the disturbing rehabilitation of
the figure of Adolf Hitler and Nazis
more generally amongst a big chunk a
growing array of the conspiracy-minded
community that we tend to interface with
who tend to think a little bit more
circumspect about the official
narratives of uh that that attempt to
explain big things in history. Um which
is useful to look for behind the scenes
for agendas behind assassinations,
revolutions and wars as we all know.
However, uh as my grandmother had once
said, if if you uh
allowed your mind to open too much, your
brains could fall out. And sometimes I
think that there's a a space for Trojan
horses as people begin to doubt official
narratives. They throw the baby out with
the bath water. increasingly whether
it's through Nick Fuentes and his uh
provocator nature but the narratives
he's been putting out over the past few
years consistently portraying Hitler as
the uh the hero of World War II or the
Europa films which have been
increasingly I mean these went quite
viral again showing a certain degree of
unacceptable truths about uh what caused
World War II but then infusing a lot of
Trojan horse to again make Hitler seem
like the good guy and that the the real
bad guy was the uh was Stalin and the
Russians. And we've seen this again and
again, but it's becoming more and more
popular. Um
increasingly also Templarism, this idea
of a new crusader idea to bring back the
the ethic of uh of the of the lost
masculinity which woke doctrines have
have washed away in our feminized
society. And now we need to bring back
man men's masculinity for for the you
know the new the new nationalism of
whether it's in Europe or whether it's
in the United States and all of this. I
just smell reeks of the type of
propaganda and hypnotic inductions
imposed onto the German people in the
years leading up to Hitler's acquisition
of power. And uh and so we decided to
make this documentary to really just
showcase well what was really
um what was Nazism really all about? Uh
what what allowed this to rise? is what
allowed the culture to become so
radicalized both on the left and on the
the right alike that created this schism
out of which the synthesis of uh of
Nazism could be introduced funded by
those same Wall Street and London
financiers and backers that uh continued
to exert great influence over the world
after World War II was finished and and
still to this very day. So, you know, it
was it's a fun exercise.
>> So, a few things here. I mean, I think I
think you're absolutely correct in
saying that there's been a a a great
flowering of what some people call
revisionist history, which can take many
forms about the 1930s and 1940s. Some of
it is valid historical research and
people looking and asking themselves
about a lot of the um estab you know the
establishment narratives that have
existed about the Second World War. a a
a comprehensive thorough history of the
Second World War, in my opinion, has
never been written because so much of
the archives relating to it have either
been lost or destroyed, purposefully
destroyed or remain closed. And
certainly in Britain, a lot of the
archives remained closed. And if we're
talking about Germany, the Germans
systematically destroyed their archives
as is well known amongst scholars in the
last months of the war. So, um, a huge
amount of material. I mean, uh, Hitler's
private archive, he destroyed himself,
for example. He the last few weeks he
went and took out all his papers from
his safe and he burnt them. So, there's
an awful lot we don't know. Um so c you
know looking trying to understand what
happened trying to understand the
interconnections of what took place that
is valid history and a lot of it is real
other parts of it are history that
clearly are based on some people's
agendas and I have to say that a lot of
what this so-called revisionist history
is all about is exactly what you said
trying to turn the story of the Second
World War completely upon its head. The
generation that lived through and fought
through the Second World War is now
either very old or dying. So, they're
not living witnesses in the way that
they used to be. And at a time when we
have a crisis with Russia,
I think that there are particular
attractions, as I said, to turning the
whole the whole thing the whole balance
round and to trying to find explanations
to this war which are not there. And as
you rightly say, some of it is very
attractive because it it opens the way
you the way you hook it in is by um
appealing to people who have critiques
and criticisms of certain established
realities, the power of you know finance
in the world today and those sort of
things. And you can argue and you know
there are some arguments that can
valably be made that some of the things
that happened in Germany in the 30s and
40s were antagonistic to that and people
use that fact as I said to to reshape
the whole discussion and the whole
understanding of what happened. So I
think we can we can talk about that but
actually even more interesting in my
opinion was what you said at the other
point which is that um it's useful to go
back still further and to look at the
shaping of thought in the late 19th and
early 20th century because this is the
time when intellectually speaking much
of the modern world, what we've come to
think of as the modern world was
created. The the period basically mostly
between about
1870
or so, maybe even 1850
and extending all the way up to 1950,
but especially the decades on either
side of the start of the 20th century.
And absolutely I mean um the movement
that you mentioned Nazi movement is
entirely a product of that time and it
draws on lots of ideas that were
floating around Europe in exactly that
period in Vienna in Paris in London
perhaps actually surprisingly a little
less in Berlin but in Berlin too in all
of these places and of course in New
York where um a lot of that was going
on. So shall shall we initially focus on
that and do you want to tell us a bit
about these intellectual roots
>> not just not just of Nazism but of the
comm
you do you got context right it's it's
everything
>> exactly yeah
>> and uh I think the what you've zeroed in
on is key the end of the 19th century
and uh the the battle over the two
identities that were very very in
opposition over what Germany would be
how it would define itself was very
important you had people like Ottawan
Bismar who was a great admirer of
Abraham Lincoln and and and spoke very
sorrowfully of of the death of Lincoln
and what that meant geostrategically for
the world because he was a part of a
broader international discussion that
was underway amongst statesmen in the
1864 1865 period over breaking free of
the system of British imperial
geopolitics
um you know that had done so much damage
to the world. Obviously the Creman war
was was an orchestration largely of
certain British and French imperialists
to suck in and weaken Russia in their
own wasting war leading up to the civil
war. But at the same time Britain had
exposed its hand in India really
carrying out vast
genocidal atrocities trying to put down
the the various up you know the 1855
uprising which was murderous what the
what the British did to put that down.
um you know the the opium wars were
still waging and people were beginning
to really wake up to the dis the
disgusting agendas behind what Britain
was really about both with the opium
wars in China at the same time you know
in the 1850s but into the 1860 period
but then also stimulating China's own
civil war the Taiping heavenly kingdom
which was all being um uh fueled by
manipulations sort of protocol color
revolutionary kind of manipulations
using the cover of of missionary groups,
Jesuitical groups inside of of southern
China organizing this civil war that was
weakening China on a on a number of
flanks and at the same time also you
know the awareness of Britain support
England's support for the Confederacy
was uh quite well known and uh we all
know the story of Russia coming in and
and saving the the day when the
Americans were at their weakest moment
in 18 1863 but there was what's little
less known and and the and Bismar was
privy to these discussions was Lincoln's
uh endorsement of the bearing straight
rail or actually of the bearing straight
telegraph lines of which there was a
congressional resolution passed in 1864
and December uh and there was a big
discussion around exporting this this uh
greenback system that Lincoln had
revived in the middle of the civil war
based upon building big projects for the
future the foundation upon which the
monetary system would be based through
the bearing straight into Russia.
The the German industrial faction, the
followers of Frederick Lists were
rallying heavy around heavily around
Bismar, who was working very hard to
keep Germany from falling into traps.
There were all sorts of of setups in the
1870s to to get Germany to fall into
into uh conflict with Russia and to
other, you know, other other neighboring
uh powers. Sidi Calnau uh the the
assassinated the president of France who
would soon be assassinated by an
anarchist uh in 1895. He was also very
closely aligned with this grouping
around Bismar who were trying very hard
to create a positive pro-industrial
Russia uh German US and also French to a
very degree alliance but then Bismar was
ousted you know um that that eliminated
a major figure behind the scenes who was
a diplomatic genius working to always
build back channel discussions and
negotiations. So with with him gone,
there wasn't a lot of leadership
available and traps that he would have
avoided began to get, you know,
[laughter]
the Germans began to trip over their
shoelaces as uh as worse and worse
decisions were made leading up to um an
absurd an completely absurd top that
Germany didn't even know about. and uh
and Bismar's enemies th those who were
more of the vaginarian
uh mindset, you know, were were
increasingly winning in their effort to
try to convince the German people that
our uh our true identity must be
involved with or must have something to
do with some form of uh rehabilitated
vulk spirit of the po pure pagan ethos
of the the you know the the Viking
the Viking pre-Christian spirit, maybe
with a little bit of a Christian veneer
on the surface to give it a bit of
civilization, but we have to touch back
into our our ancient heritage. And that
that grouping, which seemed fringe,
began to take more and more of a of a of
an active tone. And with World War I, a
complete trap set for the Germans and
the Russians, you know, completely,
there is no need for World War I to
happen. It was such a wasting absurd war
that destroyed the morale of so many of
the German people that accompanied the
the breaking of their economy with the
Versail debt treat debt repayments and
the the brutalization of what the
Germans had gone through under
Versailles and the the hyperinflation of
VHimar resulted and also the
assassinations, right? There was like
300 German leaders who were assassinated
from 1819 to 18 to sorry 19 199 to 1924.
Walter Henhau the the grandson or the
son of of Emil Henhau the great
industrialist and again Lincoln support
Lincoln promoter in in Germany in the
1890s his his son was a leading
industrialist who was working with the
Russians to create the Rapollo Accords
to break free of the Versail debt treaty
repayments in 1922. he was assassinated
and that would have resulted in in
Germany avoiding the hyperinflation and
the destruction by creating a special
positive friendship or relationship with
Russia. Uh that would have been a great
idea had it not been sabotaged. And that
whole organization of assassinations,
the organization console after it was
illegalized, it just changed its name
and became the paramilitary branch of
the SS or what became the SS a little
bit later on. and uh and you know the
Germans were going crazy and camel uh
Camela Harris even said in one of her
speeches during in 2024 something that
struck me uh this blabbering idiot. She
she rarely said things that were useful,
but this stood out when she described
how great German was, Berlin was in
1924, 25,26 because she said, "Look,
they were pro the most progressive
nation in the world. They drag shows in
every second bar. It was wonderful." And
then you couldn't have expected that
just in a few years the Nazis were going
to take over. of course inferring that
Magga was going to be the new Hitler uh
was the way she's framing it. But it's
true. Germany, the Germans, so many of
them did go crazy. And they were led to
believe that it was the belief in in
right and wrong moral values that caused
World War I to happen. And that if they
could just let go of those those
illusions of the nation state, of
nationalism, of male and female as
concepts, then we could just live and
let lived and everyone could just be the
hedenistic pure creature they were meant
to be. And sure enough, there were very
liberal drag shows and other things in
Germany in the 20s. And it did create a
disgust, a repulsion amongst many of the
more conservative-minded of the
population who were able to then be be
nudged into more radicalization as a
counter response to this disgusting
extreme left. And whenever you get
extremes, they tend to meet in some
convenient form of conflict, which is
exactly the type of thing that I think
was the the desired outcome by uh some
of the manipulators above the scenes
pushing to uh to create the more extreme
uh expression of of Germany with the
with the Nazis.
>> Indeed. Well, let's start with Bismar
because Bismar is somebody I've studied
extensively, by the way, and I know
quite a lot about him. So Bismar Bismar
um a lot of people have a very false
idea about Bismar. They imagine him as a
militaristic leader. He did in fact
fight and win in a very short period
between 1864 and 1873 wars. Um but as he
always made clear and he says this
clearly in his memoir the point about
those wars was to resolve the problem of
Germany which is very divided and very
unstable. He wanted to offense
essentially um create a Germany that was
stable and economically secure and
admittedly at the heart of Europe. Now
the point about Bismar and the secret of
his success
is he was both an extremely intelligent
man and a very much of a realist. He did
not like ideas that put at risk the
Germany that he created. And his whole
policy after 1870
for far the longest period of time that
he was chancellor of Germany was to
preserve peace in Europe. For him the
objective was not dominance in Europe,
not control in Europe. It was peace in
Europe and his objectives for Germany
were very much linked to the
preservation of peace and he gave
Germany a constitution which gave the
German people universal male suffrage
and he was the first leader in uh Europe
in fact to create a social security
system a very sophisticated social
security system and to promote universal
secondary education very much by the way
on the American model. He was very
influenced by what was happening in the
United States at that time and of course
he also had a policy for for
industrialization
and [clears throat] that was where you
know all the ideas of list and all of
that come into play. So that was Bismar.
Now what Bismar opposed and was very
very hostile to were um ideas that began
to develop in Germany rather
mysteriously in the late 19th century
for what were called politique Germany
assuming a global role as a great power.
He was absolutely against that. He was
also against policies that sought German
dominance in Europe. He thought that was
unachievable
and would undermine peace. And he also
was despite being of course an intense
German patriot, he did not like ideas
that made uh that sought any kind of
German supremacy or anything of that
kind um cultural, ethnic, whatever. So
he was very very strongly opposed to all
of these things. In other words, he was
in the best sense a very rational man.
And one of the uh moments I remember of
him is that when Germany launches after
he's been overthrown this massive
program of naval construction, he goes
to the shipyard at Keel. He sees all
these warships being built. He shakes
his head. He says, "You've all gone
mad." And that was Bismar. He also above
all sought good relations with the
Russians. And he maintained throughout
the time that he was chancellor
extremely good relations with the
Russians because he understood that
relations peace between Germany and
Russia was the key to peace in Europe.
So that that is Bismar and that was the
policy that he stood for in the late
19th century. Now there's a lot more you
can say about Bismar. He had all sorts
of faults which are not going to explore
here but that was him. And by the way he
was very interested in the United
States. He did admire Lincoln. He uh
admired American industrialization.
And a lot of what he did you can see
reflected in the fact that he had this
sense of affinity for the United States.
The big question is how did we slip away
from Bismar's Europe to the Europe that
launched the first world war? And about
that there is an enormous academic
literature and no clear resolution and
no agreement as to how it came about.
But what all I think the historical
scholarship agrees about is that there
were certain things that were going on.
Firstly,
>> and one has to say this, there was worry
in London about geopolitical
developments. I mean the fact that
Britain seemed to be losing its position
as of global supremacy as countries like
the United States, like Germany, like
Russia, like France or be but especially
Germany, Russia and the United States
were on the rise. So there was that and
there was already incidentally some
feeling in some parts of the world that
colonialism the creation of colonial
empires was a bad idea. So that's that's
one thing that made the British very
nervous. The other is a development of
extremely strange I mean looking back
very very strange um
pseudo religious
mystical you can call that kind of thing
movements in Europe at about this time.
um the importance of which I suspect has
been understated
but which are not easy to understand and
whose origins nobody has been able to
satisfactorily explain. Now I know
you've been touched a little bit about
that the last do you want to say a bit
more about those?
>> Yeah mo most certainly. Yeah, these
weird there was this weird occult
revival that was happening at the end of
the 19th century all over Europe. Um,
Germany was by far no exception. And
there's seemingly a strange
co-development and we go through this in
our documentary on the black sun rising.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, to some extent, we have a chapter on
this in that film um, regarding the
co-development of King Edward III. Well,
at the time he was still Prince uh
Edward Albert uh at the time that he was
uh setting up the Palestinian
Exploration Fund in uh 1862
with uh Sir Charles Warren to uh explore
and excavate uh the area of Solomon's
mines. You know, there's always this
idea of of Solomon's temple, the Ark of
the Covenant. A lot of the what became
both biblical archaeology as a field of
study emerged out of this grouping um as
well as the laying out the re the the
the profiling of different tribal groups
living there in the region of Palestine
to set up the stage for what would also
become the Zionist cause or the Zionist
project also found a very big role to
play there. But the the co-development
at the same time of this German new
Templar society which was uh one of the
most enthusiastic Armageddonist
um sects that emerged in Germany in the
1850s or actually it it it set up
officially in 1861. They began their
colonization of Hifa in 1868. They were
always interfacing very closely with
this network around Charles Warren and
the British Empire in Palestine. And so
you had this weird thing that I think by
the turn of the 19th of the 20th century
they had some upwards of 18 different uh
pretty well advanced colonies or de uh
communes all around uh you know
Palestine and part of their idea was the
revival of the ancient kingdom of not
even ancient whatever it was the the
Templar you know kingdom of Jerusalem
was their big ambition to revive that as
this millennialist idea of of of somehow
a invoking some of the very allegorical
commentaries within the book of
Revelation which they were just obsessed
with trying to interpret and and and
help help advance or accelerate that uh
you know cataclysmic imagery that's
located within that pro prophetic book.
I'm not saying I I believe that that
book is literal prophecy, but I I think
that people do believe that and act
accordingly sometimes with a little bit
too much political and economic uh
capacities uh to make the unnatural
become uh realized. So that's what they
were really all about and they were very
much obsessed with um or they they this
grouping
became part of something that that
bubbled to the surface in the form of
something that followers of theosophy um
were doing in Germany at that time. Uh
there was a guy named Guido von list who
had set up the German high aran uh order
in uh 1903 or 1904 with his own sort of
Germanic
spin on some of what Bllovadski and
theosophists were pushing as far as you
know the theosophical idea of a new
synthetic world religion as a
perennialist philosophy taking elements
of the different mystical traditions of
every every world philosophy and putting
into this hodgepodge stew for this new
world uh unifying religion that would
absorb everybody as the idea was but it
was very anti-Christian but the Germans
were still very Christian so it wasn't
selling very well and so guidelist had a
solution he said well so we need to
appeal to the the German psyche more
which means we need to utilize more of
the the uh some of the rooms that were
found in the forests you know and
excavations around uh German territories
and use some of these elements for uh
for our spin but we'll still have the
ascended masters. We'll still have
oracles communicating with ascended
beings to guide humanity to a new
destination. We'll still have all of
that good stuff, but we'll just like
refocus. We'll we'll downplay the
Hinduism. We'll we'll bring the swift.
We'll keep that. And that played a big a
big role in the armament and order and
uh what became he he was a co-founder
with lon von libenfelds a teacher of
Hitler actually a young young
10-year-old Hitler was a student at this
abbey in Austria which was a hub for new
temp for new templarism in the from the
1860s to the 1890s and this is where
young Hitler would have been seeing his
first experience of swastikas that are
still to this day carved in the walls of
the uh an anak I for I I I bring it up
in the documentary in this particular
abbey and this and Lonzenfelds
who's a cistorian a defrost cyersian
uh monk is teaching at this very school
who becomes the co-founder of the new
templars in 1907 that that's sort of
like an expansion of the existent
templar uh colonization project uh in
Hifa and uh and he starts a journal
called Oara and it's basically just pure
you know pagan spiritual eugenic
uh infused in in in a monthly uh
subscription that you could get. And
Hitler was also from 1910 onward a young
subscriber to the OAR journal. So he was
getting radicalized by these ideas after
having been radicalized by Leenfels in
school when he was still like pre high
school. It was already kind of bubbling
inside of him. Uh and and it wasn't
wrong. Like it was it still was very
fringe this movement. But again, World
War I, which was, you know, a war, like
you said, it's very difficult to get any
historian to have some competent
explanation of why the war happened, it
does seem to have something to do with
the ouster of von Bismar, who once he
was gone, you know, and it had see it
seemed I don't know, I'd ask I'd ask you
this. Um, I had read a a book some time
ago. I forgot the title of it. That was
uh going through the uh the the the
gossipers, the courters around of uh
Kaiser Wilhelm.
>> Yeah.
>> Which persuaded him that that Bismar
wanted to steal his thunder and and
maybe usurp the throne and and made him
very paranoid to the point that he
flushed Bismar. Um did you ever
encounter that that opport?
>> Oh, absolutely. the and the so-cal
kamaria that existed around the Kaiser
undoubtedly existed and he did play a
role and there's no doubt that um um the
Kaiser himself uh you know was very
resentful of the fact that even though
he was supposed to be the leader of
Germany most Germans obviously didn't
think of him in that way because there
was this towering figure Bismar who was
attracting all the attention so there
was that element as well which one
should not overlook. But um
this is to some extent also linked to
the development of many of these ideas
that you've just been talking about. um
um these ideas of sort of strange
movements and also um you know which
somehow blend in with the sense that
there is a there there should be a
German politic that Germany um should
have its place in the sun. It should be
a great power at least equal to or
greater than the British Empire and that
it must rival Britain in that sort of
way. And um Bismar's departure
does accelerate hugely the trend and the
force that's gathered around this group
of people. Whether it is enough by
itself to explain the first world war is
very difficult. Um when I studied
history this period long ago, the
dominant
the dominant
theory about the origin of the second of
the first world war was that of a German
historian called Fritz Fisher which was
that it all started in Germany that it
was a German desire for world power um
which was shared by the Kaiser that was
what drove it that the German government
in 1940 14 made a particular and
decisive decision to start war as part
of this um bid for world power.
Um since then um Fischer has never
completely gone away. I mean, I think he
still has his a lot of support and many
people still think as he does, but I
understand that there's been a lot of
um, you know, push back and people
saying that it wasn't just Germany.
There were other players, too. There
were the French who wanted revenge for
the fact that they'd been defeated in
1870.
There was um the British,
but again, as with the Second World War,
the archives are very incomplete. We
don't have very much knowledge. The one
government which paradoxically has
opened up its archives fully for that
period is the Russian. This happened
fairly recently. There's been some
studies about this by especially by a
man called Dominic Leven. And um the
conclusion is that the one government,
the one government of a major power that
in 1914 did not want war was actually
the Russian. That the Russians
understood perfectly well that if there
was a world war, they would be putting
the entire stability of their social
system and of their empire at risk and
that they wanted to avoid it, but they
felt that they'd been trapped into it
and that they had no real way out from
it. So it's an interesting book to read
and it's by the way its title is Vera
Flam towards the flame and [snorts] that
references a
musical composition by a composer called
Sclebin who coming [clears throat] back
to the very strange ideas that were
floating around at that time was of
course a theosophist just saying
>> there's a there's a quote that I just
found um I was going to [clears throat]
use it in a class I delivered earlier uh
this week, but I I chose not to, but it
it falls in very nicely where Kaiser
Velhelm wrote desparingly in in August
of 1914. Um [snorts]
and I'm just going to read the quote
because it's a good quote. Um but he
says, "England, Russia, and France have
agreed among themselves to take the
Austro-Serbian conflict for an excuse
for waging a war of extermination
against us. That is the real naked
situation." slowly and cleverly uh set
going by going by Edward V7th and
finally brought to a conclusion by
George V. So the famous encirclement of
Germany has finally become a fact
despite every effort of our politicians
and diplomats to prevent it. The net has
been suddenly thrown over our head and
England sneeringly reaps the most
brilliant successes of her persistently
persecuted prosecuted purely anti-German
world policy against which we have
proved ourselves helpless while she
twists the news of our political and
economic destruction out of our fidelity
to Austria as we squirm isolated in the
net. A great achievement which arouses
the admiration even of him who is to be
destroyed as its result. Edward IIIth is
stronger after his death than I than am
I who am still alive. Kind of a pathetic
character. Um,
this Wong guy, but uh, but you know, I I
I think it's it's interesting that a lot
of historians, they just overlook these
different letters in their
correspondences between Edward and
Nicholas II saying, "Okay, there's this
there clearly there's a plan to try to
get us to fight each other, but we will
not fall for it. And no, we will not go
along with this plan. Sure enough,
there's the forces turn turned out to be
more more uh influential than both of
these uh individuals realized, it seems.
And um I was just thinking about again
these these strange
the overlap between intelligence,
occultism, theosophy. It's it's it's
always kind of present. And you see it
also penetrating even the courts of
Russia where um I was in my research.
Not only does it seem that people like
uh Gerardan Kaus Papus who becomes the
leading philosophical order of the
Golden Dawn, Martinist, everything. This
guy's just an everything guy. He's all
of a sudden positioned somehow to be the
physician and adviser of Nicholas II at
a very sensitive time when Nicholas is
already kind of psychologically becoming
more and more unhinged and paranoid,
probably for good reason, and is
persuading him to take more seriously
the the uh this protocols that were just
introduced to him by one of the
followers of Lavadski. I'm forgetting
her name, but she's in my documentary.
um and another another uh confessor um
not a confessor but another um monk
adviser who's were all kind of working
together to to get Nicholas to read the
the these this revelatory protocols of
the lost the lost protocols of the
learned elders of Zion to convince him
that it's a Zionist Jew conspiracy out
to overthrow the noble monarchies of
Europe and um and and and that's what
assassinated his you know Alexander III
and Alexander I was these Jew Zionist
types and they're like, "Look, it's all
in here." Now, it turns out the whole
thing's a fraud. It's not to say that
there aren't truthful things infused in
this limited hangout talking about how
conspiracies work and their ambitions.
That's true, too. But it's been proven
that the text and the the lines of logic
the arguments the the sequencing the
chapters of it were all taken lifted
directly from a work by Morris Jolie uh
the dialogue of Montescu and uh and uh
Mchavelli
a dialogue that that was written as kind
of a pmic against Napoleon III in France
and they just kind of like respun it
rewired it for the sake of convincing
Nicholas II number one to fire anybody
who seems to have any type of connection
ction to international financiers to get
money. Like for example, Sergey Vita got
to fire him. He's he's a Rothschild
Zionist stoogge, don't you know? So he
Vita gets fired like twice
before being brought back in to clean up
the mess that uh that was caused by his
being ousted and the the 1905
revolution. But uh but he then
reinstates the pilgrims. He's induced
out of his paranoia to then clamp down
even further on the Jewish populations
that have been sort of, you know,
suffering quite a bit in in Russia. And
uh and this then creates this this it's
like this this revolutionary kind of
steam pressure cooker is just the
pressure increases with expected results
of more destabilizations, more directed
energy of of abused peoples that could
then be weaponized in a in a protocol
revolutionary kind of way to uh to
destabilize Russia ever more. And
Nicholas II has no clue what the hell is
going on. But again, these occult
intelligence overlaps, you get it also
in in the Crowley networks, like there's
this book by Richard Spence called
Secret Agent 666 on Crowley and British
intelligence, uh, which appears that
there's there's some good evidence that
he was recruited to British intelligence
by Lord Glascoin Cecil in the 18 right
before he became a member of the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Um,
and he was deployed first into Russia to
set up networks there, interfacing with
with Papus' networks. then went went
into to the United States
uh through the invitation, it seems, of
this Sleepy Hollow Club, which is the
same Sleepy Hollow Club of William
Rockefeller that he bought in in New up
upper state New York as sort of this
upper crust blueblood funded club that
created this massive private
intelligence service overseen by Cloud
Dancy. the St. Claw Dancy that was like
the co-founder of MI5 or it wasn't
called MI5 then it was called something
else but he that St. Cloud Dancy was
also invited with Crowley around the
same time with the same people that they
were interfacing with at the Sleepy
Hollow Club to set up an intelligence
network in America that Crowley turns
out to be uh shaping before and during
World War I. And in his book the this
historian Richard Spence did did a great
job piecing together with original
sources and letters archival work like
heavy lifting that um that Crowley was
largely the one responsible for the
propag for the sinking of the Lucadia
the actual like false flag where this
passenger ship was laden with with
weapons which would have broken
America's neutrality in World War I. and
he it was through his networks that the
information was passed on to Germans
German intelligence that there was
weapons on the ship making it liable for
an attack by Ubot which is what happened
and the idea was to then create such a
an emotional situation that would
trigger the psyche of the Americans to
break out of their isolationism and want
to insh themselves into World War I. It
took a couple more years for that to
happen. that the Crowley Crowley's
directing head this this creepy creepy
Satanist guy who's like sort of
everywhere um with you know organizing
Irish
independence or trying to redirect I
guess the focus of Irish anti-British
Irish independence movements with like
WB Yeets and Casement who are all
members of the hermetic order of the
Golden Dawn all of them are all members
of the hermetic order of the Golden Dawn
just like Papus is in Russia. And it's
like this thing is just kind of again,
they're not just philosophical occult
things that like doing weird rituals in
the in the in the cupboards. They're
they're engaged in realworld political
processes, organizing anarchist communes
that are also being used to kill a lot
of statesmen from 1865 to 1914. You
know, there's so many of these very
useful idiots who are shaped in these
anarchist cult communes that for
whatever reason get in their heads that
it's their divine mission to go and
assassinate William McKinley or Nicholas
II or Garfield or, you know, the
Austrian Duke Ferdinand or whatever. So
there's a big list of of statesmen who
are offed in that 25 30 year period by
these things that seem to also have
strange directing hands from like what
who's who was hosting the inter the the
anarchist uh conference international in
1871 that was like organizing all of
these international anarchist communes
and the representatives it was it was in
London. So there seems to be something
that is that is subtly but directly
though in influencing these seemingly
different groups that all have similar
effects of eliminating qualified
statesmen. City Calo, you know, in
France and then introducing incompetent
in their place who then all
seem to have no capacity to avoid
falling for traps that result in totally
unnecessary wars of of of destruction
like World War I. It's uh it's
mind-blowing stuff, eh?
>> Well, indeed. Can I just say a few
things here because this is very
interesting. But let's let's first of
all about about Nicholas II. I mean, the
thing to understand about Nicholas is
that he was a very very straightforward,
very devout Orthodox Christian. He had
no time for the occult at all. We do
know that he did read the protocols.
Apparently, he read them with very, very
great skepticism. he was not personally
greatly influenced by him. Uh
unfortunately
the reality is that there were all sorts
of other people in St. Petersburg in the
power structure in the court who had
completely different outlook at that
time and it's important to remember
theosophy basically originates in Russia
with Lavatski and people of that kind.
So it had a very great deal of influence
in Russia at that time and these occult
ideas that are there. Certainly they
existed and had a lot of influence in
Russia at that time too. Um there's a
lot that could be said about the
protocols. We know an awful lot more
about them than we used to and you're
absolutely right. They were a forgery
and they were not a forgery by the
secret police and we the the sort of
people who probably forged them are
exactly the millia that you are talking
about and they were used politically
mostly in court politics to get rid of
people like Vita in exactly the way that
you said. So that that that is one
thing. The other thing to say is,
however, that this is the time when
occult ideas are at their peak influence
in European society and in European
governments. Lots of people um are
drawn to them at this time. There's a
very strange book, by the way, that
comes out in Britain at about this time
called The Golden Bow. I don't know if
you've come across it, but it's very
>> James Fraser's book.
>> Exactly. Exactly. I mean, which which
>> it's super useful. It's like it's like a
guide book for like
>> grand strategists who are going to
manipulate
>> international like like various occults
tropes and and myths. Exactly.
>> Yeah. It's like a guide book for social
engineers.
>> Exactly. So, one of the people who was a
great fan was Winston Churchill. Just to
say he he he read this book extensively,
took it very very seriously. And um you
mentioned Alistister Crowley who by the
way my mother once met. He died in 1947
so they just over overlapped. Anyway, so
um
his influence
in Britain is again a very understated
thing. He was absolutely part of the
British establishment. He was perhaps
the single most prominent occultist
um in the English-speaking world
um in the 20th century. An awful lot of
what you um you see as occult today. The
ideas of the occult basically originate
with him and he did have a great
political influence and is widely
believed to have been involved with um
um British intelligence in all sorts of
ways. So absolutely all of these things
do do come together and by the way they
still exist today. I say that because
when I was working at the royal courts
of justice, um I was the person in the
royal courts of justice who used to have
to get the read the reports about
various archal groups that still
function in Britain. And I remember
reading them all and I remember reading
about the very strange things that some
of these people got up to and being very
surprised that the police who knew
exactly who these people were. I mean
literally knew exactly who these people
were weren't interfering in any way with
some of the things that they were doing
which were clearly criminal activities
just to say. So it does exist. It still
continues to this day. I don't think it
has the influence that it did at the
time that we have just been talking
about. So that's that's one thing I
would say. Um London
I suspect was the center of much of this
in early 20th century Europe. And it's
perhaps not surprising. The British
Empire is starting to weaken. It is in
decline. It faces all of these various
challenges. It's perhaps it's looking to
enlist other powers to support it. We've
discussed in previous programs how they
try to draw the Americans in. And they
do very successfully, by the way. They
get the Americans to come in and help
them in the first world war and help
them in the Second World War and then
help them after the Second World War
through NATO and all of that. Um but as
a declining power it's perhaps not
surprising that the British who are
looking for power
start thinking about the occult and you
again I I know a lot about this because
I you know I've met people who were
involved in that sort of thing in uh uh
London especially during the inter war
years. So the idea you know you you you
you you find power uh one of the things
about occults occult groups is that they
are almost by definition extremely
elitist.
So that appeals to people who are who
imagine themselves or who sometimes are
the elite and
>> you can only learn the arts of the
mystical powers and stuff if you're part
of the bloodline and you're special and
then you can be taught kind of like
Harry Potter.
>> Exactly. Exactly. And so they appeal
very much to sort of upper echelon of
society and um it is also an instrument
of power and control as well. I mean you
you have groups of people who meet in
this way and as I said they do exercise
a very very great deal of sway and they
are there. They're still there. As I
said, they I know that they do exist,
but just as London today is a very
diminished force compared to what it was
in say 1900 or 1920 or 1930 or even
1950.
So the occult itself in Britain at least
has declined in proportion. I mean it is
still there but it doesn't have the sway
that it once did.
>> Yeah. On the note of what the
fascinating that you were directly like
uh studying these groups while you're
while you were working in the in the
field. Um
>> well ab can I just say I mean you were
talking you were talking about uh uh uh
national socialism the German movement.
I mean some of these some of these
movements one in particular is
straightforwardly
uh um adheres to this ideology. It has
it has combined the German ideology of
the 1930s
with the arult. it it I mean the two are
completely fused in the mind of his
followers
>> and uh that by the way also involves
criminal activity that they are very
much involved in criminal activity and I
believe I mean it was obvious to me by
the way and this is again I'm saying
things which are I've said in many
places that the people who were mostly
drawn to this were former army officers
British army officers just to say so
that gives you some idea so uh um you
know this these ideas do exist. They
still continue to to command some
traction.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I there's so
many thoughts, but and I and I know we
are running to the top of the hour, so
we'll have to but um there's so many
thoughts that that awoken my mind as you
were speaking, but number one, uh the
tendency of army officers who have been
through hell to become uh or to get
recruited into the occult seems to be a
phenomenon. We saw this after after the
Vietnam war where there was a massive
spike in satanic ritual killings and
this is what led into the satanic panic.
But the satanic panic in America was
being done because there actually was
this greater preponderance of actual
satanic ritual activity all across
America that manifested in a number of
ways. And a lot of that seems to have
been correlated to the return of broken
men who had to do terrible things, you
know, like Operation Phoenix which was
overseen by who?
Colonel Michael Aquino, the second in
command of the Church of Satan, who was
working with Colonel Landdale,
responsible for mo most of what became
Operation Phoenix that murdered and
tortured and then murdered mostly
civilians, 40,000 at least, but probably
much larger. This the the statistics are
are hard to come by, but at least 40,000
conservative.
um [clears throat] my massacres, things
like that were all being orchestrated by
this guy who then goes comes back home
to America. Goes to Bevelburg Castle
first in 1975,
carries out his famous Vevelberg of
working ritual, which he was he somehow
got by reading some documents that that
persuaded him that this is what Hinrich
Himmler was doing because this was
supposed to be the center of the
thousand. Handler had built this as the
center of the as the headquarters of the
new Templar uh movement that he had
overseen as the High Templar. You know,
there was going to be there was like a
you can see it today. They've got the
black sun in marble on the floor and
you've got this this ritual around an
eternal flame where the 12 leading
knights were uh would do their their
weird incantations for the spirits. And
uh this is what what this is exactly
where Colonel Michael Aquino goes does
his thing is persuaded through his his
rituals that he is initiated or has been
chosen or whatever like Alistister
Crowley was when he somehow feels that
he invoked Iawas an emissary of Horus to
invoke the age of Horus the age of the
sacred child the sacred superstition.
But that has to always happen through
some form of calamity that where most
people have to die. Very like I don't
know why they always think there has to
be some calamity that kills most people.
And then Michael Aquina got the same
idea that no it's going to be actually
the age of set the age of chaos and lies
that he has to usher in as the new
prophet. But then he goes on and starts
working for major major general Albert
Stubblebean at the US military after
setting this setting up the temple of
set. He's still a very like very highly
placed green beret operative, right?
Working with the SC groups. He then
works with he's employed by General
Stubblebean who's like head of military
army intelligence throughout the in the
1980s overseeing the revolution and
military affairs to then write the from
SCOP to mind wars uh program with Paul
Valet, another colonel who's heading up
the seven SCOP groups. They write this
thing which calls for a different kind
of train involving um a fusion of
uh you know uh ESP operations, occults
type of of training. I guess this also
goes with psychedelic drug use as part
of the occult idea, but then also
technologies that involve uh you know
electromagnetic pulses and things like
that. And this be but this training
program seems crazy. that this actually
is what is defining the actual programs
like the the Jedi mind wars program the
the uh first earth battalion that Jim
Shannon that other people that are
portrayed in the Jim Ronson book men who
stare at goat goats it's actually a true
story they portray in the movie as if
it's a as if it's a joke but it's that's
all real stuff the the movie with George
Clooney that's that's actually stuff
that was done that these if you follow
the the um the careers of a lot of these
graduates of these new training programs
They they don't want to become the
overseers, the new vanguard
uh Jedi super soldiers as they think of
themselves, very elitist again because
you're you're you're a super soldier
now. You're more than human, right? It's
very uber mentioned that then go on to
play dominant roles in Desert Storm in a
lot of the insane decisions around the
post 911 age. Um and and it's like there
is something to do with war trauma like
this apocalypse now type of stuff that
we saw doc like portrayed in that film
that that does lend itself to recruiting
people into unhuman experiences we saw
in the World War II where tons of Oxford
young men came out of that that process.
So did Dansancy as sort of new men where
they something happened to them where
they did things that no human should
ever do. They saw things, they
experienced things that you should never
experience. But somehow they they became
new men out of that where they became
this this sort of you know vanguard
uh Templar warriors or whatever
organizing a roundt like with again very
the language of the the Milner Roads
round table uh society was directly a a
play on the the arththerian legends that
were part of the the recruitment the
ideological sort of uh mystery plays of
the trouidors and other things of the
medieval ages that were a big part of
recruiting highv value targets into
becoming initiated into these Templar uh
crusader mystic orders where they would
first have to go on a quest, you know,
face death, face the guardian at the
threshold, integrate with the darkness
inside of them somehow, overcome
whatever. And if you survive, you get to
you get to whatever pick up Excalibur,
which is language that Aquino is
directly using when you read that that
document. He's talking about the the new
mind wars program as being Excalibur. He
literally calls it that. So this is the
type of weird coloring in their
imaginations that is defining real world
world policies that impact the lives of
billions of people. So when I hear
people like Peter Theel or you know the
the um Palunteer CEO Lou Mosley who's
you know talking about how when Louis
Mosley talks about how he got the job
with Alec Hart to become the CEO of
Palunteer UK I get a little trepidation
because as the official story goes told
by these two guys he was afraid he
wasn't going to get the gig cuz his
grandfather was Oswwell Mosley whose
second in command was uh JCR
JFC 4 a guy who like innovated out, you
know, Blicks Creek tactics and whose
whose manuals are still taught in
training programs across West Point and
and military colleges to this very day.
This guy is the second in command of
Louis Mold Mosley, the head of the
British Union of Fascists. He's the the
grandmaster of the Argentum Astron
Crowley lodge from 1907 onward and he's
doing back channels with the Nazi high
command. He's the one who's the He would
have been like the secretary of defense
for for England had Oswald Mosley been
successful at becoming the fo of
England. But it's this guy's grandson
who's going in for a business meeting to
become the CEO to see if he can get the
job. He's afraid he's not going to get
the job. And as he tells it, Alec Karp
goes and recites from memory a full
speech by Oswald Mosley from 1939. And
he's like, "Wow, we're friends." And he
got the job. Now, of all the people in
the world, you got this guy positioned
overseeing contracts with the USA as of
2025, some of the biggest to grant
Palunteer the like all sorts of of
influence. I think 300 uh billion. I I
forget the numbers off the top of my
head, but immense record-breaking uh
military contract deals where Palunteer
is now going to be granted the rights
and has been to increasingly control the
AI decision-m of Britain's, you know,
big military intelligence decisions,
even municipal policing efforts.
Predictive policing is a big part of
their ambitions as well to be able to do
thought uh preventative thought crime
where you could just measure the metrics
the the banking activity the uh the the
online you know commentaries of people
in order to act on future crimes before
they happen very minority report and
that's actually part of an active
project that Palunteer has been doing
since 2013 that they're trying to spread
around the the western world so I'm like
now there's some continuity I don't
think that it's all one grand conspiracy
but I think that there's some bad habits
and too much continuity to overlook
between these, you know, things that
were happening a century or more ago and
the uh this obsession that Peter seems
to have with the book of Revelation, the
Antichrist that I don't think is just a
a fetish. I think he's he's seriously
obsessed with this idea that he thinks
is tied to what he has to bring into
being.
>> Barsome stuff, man. I I don't know.
>> Indeed. Indeed, the resonances are
remarkable. And of course it's a flight
from reality. I mean it was a flight
from reality.
>> A a genuine flight from reality in the
late 19th early 20th century which led
to disaster and um with a deeply
misanthropic
and anti-humanist and I would say
anti-Christian quality about it.
>> And you see exactly the same today. And
it's unsurprising that the two share
very very much in common. and perhaps
that there is a direct line of
connection between the two. Yeah.
>> Well, um M Matt, this has been an
extraordinarily interesting program.
Again, was always with you. We cover
huge amounts of ground and it's always
intellectually uh very very interesting.
You you you reminded me of things that I
you know have read and experienced um
you know various times in my life. But
anyway, thank you again and let's look
forward to having you again on our
programs. Thank you.
>> Absolutely. It's always a pleasure. All
right. Bye, guys.
>> Thank you, Matt. Before you go, before
you go, where can people follow your
work real quick?
>> Yes. Uh, okay. So, the the new film can
be watched currently only on my
Substack. So, matthew eric.substack.com.
It's under a $5 payw wall. Not not the
end of the world, but it's worth it. I I
encourage people to check it out. Uh, we
will eventually make it for free. Um,
also it's on atlux if you want to go
there. It's at lux. Also our our u our
book. Hold on.
So the book that [clears throat] I
mentioned that we the special report
that we uh put out has a crazy ass
picture of Hitler pointing up to the
black sun. A little UFO there for a
reason. You'll find in the in the book
cuz a bunch of theosophical pro-Nazi
movements ended up creating the entire
UFO cult movement after 19 after 1945.
That's there's a chapter in that.
adminoski's right there. So, that book
is available on Amazon or they can write
to me if they want a signed copy.
Cynthia and myself and our friend Mike
King co-wrote that thing. So, that's uh
they can send us a message through our
website canadpatriot.org
uh or risingtidefoundation.net
uh as well.
>> All right. Thank you, Matt.
>> Thank you very much, Matt. Have a very
good day.
>> Bye.

This episode of The Duran features Matthew Ehret discussing the intellectual and occult roots of Nazism and the historical connections between 20th-century geopolitical crises and esoteric movements. Ehret explores how figures like Otto von Bismarck were sidelined, allowing for the rise of radicalized, occult-influenced factions. He and the hosts analyze historical patterns of intelligence agencies using occultist networks to destabilize nations, the parallels between early 20th-century mysticism and modern technology-driven surveillance, and the ongoing influence of these historical trajectories on contemporary geopolitics.
