Players/The Lodges Behind the Reich The Post-1945 Survival Protocol
How the Lodge Survived the Death of the State
Intelligence: Gehlen microfilmed his archives, buried them in the Alps, surrendered to the US. CIA reconstituted his network — hundreds of former SS/SD/Gestapo officers — into a 25-acre compound in Pullach. Became the BND (1956). The lodge structure bypassed denazification via utility.
Aerospace: Paperclip transferred 1,600+ scientists. Von Braun (SS officer, V-2 built with slave labor, 20,000 deaths) leads to Saturn V architect. Debus (SS) leads to Kennedy Space Center director. Strughold (Ahnenerbe-linked experiments) leads to Apollo life support.
Finance: BIS (the Bank for International Settlements) in Basel facilitated transactions between Axis and Allies throughout the entire war. McKittrick (American BIS (the Bank for International Settlements) president) moved freely between Switzerland and New York. At least 3.7 tonnes of looted gold laundered. Morgenthau tried to liquidate BIS (the Bank for International Settlements) at the post-WWII Bretton Woods financial system — failed. The financial layer was never at war with itself.
The principle: Secret societies are discontinuity-proof by design. They rely on oath-bound loyalty, compartmentalization, and hidden membership — not geography or constitutions. The host body (Third Reich) was discarded. The esoteric intelligence core parasitized the victor.
