Nixon & GHW Bush brought in the Nazis to counter Dem Jewish American votes

There is a very high correlation between CIA domestic subsidies to Fascist 'freedom fighters' during the 1950s and the leadership of the Republican party's ethnic campaign groups. The motive for under-the-table financing was clear: Nixon used Nazis to offset the Jewish vote for the Democrats.

"In 1952 Nixon had formed an Ethnic Division within the Republican National Committee. 'Displaced Fascists, hoping to be returned to power by an Eisenhower-Nixon "liberation" policy signed on' with the committee. In 1953, when Republicans were in office, the immigration laws were changed to admit Nazis, even members of the SS. They flooded into the country. Nixon himself oversaw the new immigration program. As vice president, he even received Eastern European Fascists in the White House. After a long, long journey, the Croatian Nazis had found a new home in the United States, where they reestablished their networks.

"In 1968 Nixon promised that if he won the presidential election, he would create a permanent ethnic council within the Republican party. Previously the Ethnic Division was allowed to surface only during presidential campaigns. Nixon's promise was carried out after the 1972 election, during Bush's tenure as chairman of the Republican National Committee. The Croatian Ustashis became an integral part of the campaign structure of Republican politics, along with several other Fascist organizations." (4)

The authors describe Nixon's pro-Nazi activities in no uncertain terms: "Nixon himself personally recruited ex-Nazis for his 1968 presidential campaign. Moreover, Vice President Nixon became the point man for the Eisenhower administration on covert operations and personally supervised Allen Dulles's projects while Ike was ill in 1956 and 1957." (5)

One of the Nazis recruited by candidate Nixon was Laszlo Pasztor, described by Aarons and Loftus as "the founding chair of Nixon's Republican Heritage Groups council" who, "during World War II . . . was a diplomat in Berlin representing the Arrow Cross government of Nazi Hungary, which supervised the extermination of the Jewish population.

"During Nixon's 'Four More Years' campaign in 1971-1972, Laszlo Pasztor again played a key role in marshaling the ethnic vote. No longer a marginal player on the fringes, now he held a key position as the Republican National Committee's nationalities director. . . .

"The Republican leadership cannot claim ignorance as a defense. Anderson's famous expose of Nixon's Nazis appeared in 'The Washington Post' at the same time as the November 1971 convention. Among those mentioned was Laszlo Pasztor, 'the industrious head of the GOP ethnic groups, was never asked about his wartime activities in Hungary by the four GOP officials who interviewed him for his job.' It was too embarrassing for Nixon to admit that Pasztor had been a ranking member of a Fascist government at war with the United States.

". . . . It is one thing to promote obscure Eastern European Fascist movements in the Republican party. It is quite another to let the German Nazis have a major influence. After 1953, the Republican administration changed the rules, and even members of the Waffen SS could immigrate to the United States as long as they claimed only to have fought the Communists on the Eastern Front." (7)

The Republican/Nixon attraction to Nazism was also observed by Robert J. Groden and Harrison Edward Livingstone, authors of the book, "High Treason," dealing with the Kennedy Assassination. Groden and Livingstone write: "Nixon surrounded himself with what was known as the Berlin Wall, a long succession of advisors with Germanic names: We recall at the top of his 'German General Staff' as it was also known, Haldeman, Erlichman, Krogh, Kliendienst, Kissinger (the Rockefellers' emissary) and many others.

"The selection of German names was no accident. Many of the brighter staff people close to Nixon came to him from the University of Southern California, and the University of California at Los Angeles, where there were fraternities that kept alive the vision of a new Reich. America has for a long time harbored this dark side of its character, one of violence and the Valhalla of Wagner and Hitler.

"But Gordon Liddy was the one in whose mind 'Triumph of the Will' was the most alive. Some of these men would watch the great Nazi propaganda films in the basement of the White House until all hours of the night, and drink, in fact, get drunk with their power, with blind ambition, as one of them wrote." (8)

"According to several of our sources in the intelligence community who were in a position to know," continue Loftus and Aarons, "the secret rosters of the Republican party's Nationalities Council read like a Who's Who of Fascist fugitives. The Republican's Nazi connection is the darkest secret of the Republican leadership. The rosters will never be disclosed to the public. As will be seen in Chapter 16 dealing with George Bush, the Fascist connection is too widespread for damage control.

"According to a 1988 study by Russ Bellant of Political Research Associates, virtually all of the Fascist organizations of World War II opened up a Republican party front group during the Nixon administration. The caliber of the Republican ethnic leaders can be gauged by one New Jersey man, Emanuel Jasiuk, a notorious mass murderer from what is today called the independent nation of Belarus, formerly part of the Soviet Union. But not all American ethnic communities are represented in the GOP's ethnic section; there are no black or Jewish heritage groups. . . .

"The truth is that the Nazi immigrants were 'tar babies' that no one knew how to get rid of. Dulles had brought in a handful of the top emigre politicians in the late 1940s. They in turn sponsored their friends in the 1950s. By the 1960s ex-Nazis who had originally fled to Argentina were moving to the United States. . . ." (9)

It is clear that, even before the break-in at the Democratic Party Headquarters on June 17, 1972, the Republicans were on the brink of having their pro-Nazi activities over the past four decades become a matter of mass-media attention. After the Watergate Break-in, as the Congressional Hearings began to reveal the slush-funds, money-laundering, illegal corporate campaign contributions, the political sabotage of the 1972 Presidential election process, the involvement of ITT and the Nixon Administration into the assassination of Salvador Allende, the democratically elected president of Chile, and many other aspects of Nixonism, the floodgates of truth were about to open. Only one thing averted this wholesale learning of the truth by the American people: Nixon's resignation and subsequent pardoning by his hand-picked successor, Gerald Ford.

2. Kissinger was Jewish.

5. Kissinger didn't come into the picture until well into the 60s

There are all sorts of Jewish commie-hating mega-capitalists of the time who were dedicated to the right-wing form of economic monarchy.

Greed and shit-headedness are equal opportunity afflictions. Although the Jews have been fairly reliable as socially-conscious Democrats, there are enough who are addicted to the selfishness of conservatism. Mercifully the culture is imbued with a ethical conscience and tempered by memories of being continually abused, and this helps them have some empathy as a group.

Roy Cohn was Jewish too, and he was as nasty a conservative as they come. Hell, he even defended Joe McCarthy, and McCarthy had made major headlines by trying to get the SS Malmedy Massacrers off the hook. (Then again, Bobby Kennedy represented McCarthy, too, but that's a different tirade.)

The real hatred in the late 40s and 50s was against Communism: it defied the rights of the rich to destroy and subjugate people while taking everything they wanted, and that made for some strange bedfellows.

Regardless, Kissinger wasn't even in the picture at this time; he was an academic. Although Nixon was still using these nasties when Kissinger came aboard, it was well-established practice by that time, and Kissinger was shielded from it. Since he's not a stupid man, he must have known about this, so that makes it an interesting question.

Money and power are often more important, and the rest is open to conjecture.

3. "National Republican Heritage Groups Council"

Poppy Bush had to deal with a mini-scandal (didn't really go anywhere) when it came out that many of the members of this RNC group had strong ties to old school fascists.

Here's an old archived email from Chip Berlet with some details (and names):
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/political-science/fascism/bellant/bellant.pt1

Here's just a couple of the names that came out at the time:

- Axis Allies and Apologists -

*** Laszlo Pasztor: The founding chair and a key figure in
the Council, Pasztor began his political career in a Hungarian
pro-Nazi party and served in Berlin at the end of World War II.
He continues to be involved in ultra-rightist groups and fascist
networks while working with the GOP.

*** Radi Slavoff: The Republican Heritage Groups Council's
executive director is a member of a Bulgarian fascist group and
leader of the Bulgarian GOP unit of the Council. He was able to
get the leader of his Bulgarian nationalist group a White House
invitation even though that leader was being investigated for
concealing alleged World War II war crimes. He is also active in
other emigre fascist groups.

*** Nicolas Nazarenko: A former World War II officer in the
German SS Cossack Division, Nazarenko heads a Cossack GOP unit of
the Republican Heritage Groups Council but declares that Jews are
his "ideological enemy." He is still active with pro-Nazi
elements in the U.S.

*** Florian Galdau: A close associate and defender of
Valerian Trifa, the Romanian archbishop prosecuted for concealing
his involvement in war crimes of the pro-Nazi Romanian Iron Guard
in World War II. Charged by former Iron Guardists and others with
being the East Coast recruiter for the Iron Guard in the U.S.,
Galdau heads the Romanian Republican unit of the Republican
Heritage Groups Council.

There's a bunch more at the link.

4. Thanks for posting this

I've been running into many of these names the last few months in the course of researching the World Anti-Communist League. But though I knew of the Bush connections, I didn't realize the same people were also tight with Nixon. This article fills in several gaps -- and the statement that "Vice President Nixon became the point man for the Eisenhower administration on covert operations and personally supervised Allen Dulles's projects while Ike was ill in 1956 and 1957" is also extremely interesting.

Laszlo Pasztor (or Pastor) in particular is one name that seems to pop up everywhere. In the late 90's, he was still active in connection with Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation. In 2002, he sponsored Ron Paul's attendance at a Victims of Communism awards dinner and also received a thank-you note from Laura Bush for sending her a book on behalf of the National Federation of American Hungarians.
