=======OBAMA CAN’T REALLY SMILE ABOUT BIRTH CERTIFICATE CRISIS

The narcissist-in-chief starts to glower as he tells each birth-certificate joke in a very unfunny way…..How dare we white peons doubt His African Majesty’s word? When has a negro ever fed us trusting white folks a line of “jive”?

JOKE:

On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident. They find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates, waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven.

While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter shows up, they ask him.

St. Peter says, ‘I don’t know. This is the first time anyone has asked that. Let me go and find out,’ and he leaves.

The couple sit and wait, and wait. Two months pass and the couple is still waiting. As they wait, they discuss that if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all. ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ they wondered. ‘Are we stuck together forever?’

After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled ‘Yes,’ he informs the couple, ‘You can get married in Heaven.’

‘Great!’ says the couple, ‘But we were just wondering, what if things don’t work out? Can we also get a divorce in Heaven?’

St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground!!

‘What’s wrong?’ ask the frightened couple.

‘OH, COME ON!’ St. Peter shouts, ‘It took me three months to find a priest up here!

….

……Do you have any idea how long it’ll take me to find a lawyer?’

The uncanny case of Carl Edon

[source: http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2002/01/15/the-uncanny-case-of-carl-eden-84229-11540818 in Yorkshire, England, land of my maternal ancestors.]

Jan 15 2002 Mike Blackburn

For years before he was brutally murdered Carl Edon tried to convince his family that he was reincarnated. Today his astonished parents believe they have been given extraordinary photographic evidence.

(SEE PHOTOS BELOW.)

Young Middlesbrough dad Carl had spoken since he was just three years old of vivid flashbacks to a former life as a Nazi airman killed when his plane was shot down in 1942.

Now startling new photos, unearthed after dogged detective work by a local historian, reveal a chilling resemblance between Carl and a German airman, Heinrich Richter, buried in a Thornaby cemetery.

Richter, a turret gunner, perished when his Dornier bomber crashed onto a South Bank railway during a raid exactly 60 years ago today… January 15, 1942.

============ON THE DORNIER

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_17

It was a thin, fast, maneuverable light bomber meant to take out specific military-industrial targets, not “carpet-bomb” civilian cities like Allied bombers (which thus were committing a war crime under the Hague rules of land warfare.)

============================

The wreckage of the Dornier, damaged by anti-aircraft fire before hitting a barrage balloon, was discovered in 1997 buried off Tilbury Road – only a few hundred yards from the spot where Carl was stabbed to death two years earlier.

When the bomber was dug up with Richter’s remains inside, Carl’s parents, Jim and Val, shuddered as they recalled their son’s eerie tales of reincarnation.

Val Edon

But only now – as the Gazette reveals for the first time what the airman looked like – are the Coulby Newham couple looking at their son’s claims in a new light.

“It’s got to be him,” said a stunned Val, when shown a photo of the German in full uniform shortly before the crash over Teesside.

“The resemblance across the eyes and the nose is uncanny.
“Maybe this is the final piece of the jigsaw,” she said.

The striking picture was obtained after Guisborough historian and author Bill Norman tracked down Richter’s relatives in Germany for a new book.

An uncanny likeness between the two young men and the fact that they share the same scene of death more than 50 years apart are just two of the strange coincidences which have spooked Carl’s parents.

During the excavation of the German bomber it was discovered that Richter’s leg, still inside a flying boot, had been severed in the wreckage, explained Val.

“Carl used to say he lost his right leg in the crash,” she said. “And he had a birth mark at the top of that leg.”

On the day her rail worker son was murdered – by Gary Vinter, later jailed for life – he had been to Skinningrove to collect train carriages.

======================

Carl Edon and (black-and-white photo) double Iron-Cross winner, Luftwaffe pilot Heinrich Richter

“The day the Dornier crashed it had bombed Skinningrove first and flew on to Middlesbrough following the railway line,” said Val.

Carl and Richter had made the same journey the day they died.
“There are just too many strange coincidences, and I think if Carl was here he’d be saying ‘Do you believe me now’?”

One of the country’s leading researchers into psychic phenomena admitted he was amazed at the details surrounding the two deaths.

“We research a lot of reincarnation cases, but not many as remarkable as this one sounds,” said David Christie-Murray, member of the Society for Psychical Research, founded in 1882 and now based in London.

“It seems to me to be a fascinating case, and one I’m sure the SPR would certainly be interested in investigating if the family wanted to.”

Carl’s experiences are already detailed in a book called The Children That Time Forgot by Peter and Mary Harrison, and on a US TV show. They’ve also been well documented in British and German newspapers, including the Gazette when Carl was just nine years old.

But his parents said he suffered taunts at school as a result of his ‘past life’ claims.

“When that started happening Carl didn’t like talking about it any more,” said his mum.

“But he always believed it.”

His dad told the Gazette he was cynical at first. “I was sick of Carl going on about it,” he said. “But I probably believe more in reincarnation now.”

The Dornier’s three other crew were buried in Thornaby after the crash in 1942, but Richter was not laid to rest alongside his colleagues until the plane was ‘rediscovered’ 55 years later by water board workers.

Val and Jim joined nearly 300 mourners at a moving funeral service for the fourth German airman.

Standing at Richter’s grave afterwards felt “eerie”, said Jim. “It was like we were re-burying Carl again. Maybe now this will be the end of it.”

Richter, who won the Iron Cross medal twice and had been wounded in action, was 24 when he was shot down and killed. Carl was just 22 when he was murdered, leaving behind heartbroken fiancee Michelle, and their two young daughters Carla and Sophie.

=========MY COMMENTARY

The detail about the birthmark is significant. In the vast compendium of reincarnation studies at the University of Virginia (see this article about Ian Stevenson, MD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Stevenson), children who reincarnate quickly after a traumatic death often have a birthmark at the spot where they were stabbed, shot or otherwise injured.

Here is a video featuring Dr. Jim Tucker, a child psychiatrist who has continued Dr. Stevenson’s work:

Here is an accurate article about Tucker’s major book:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Before_Life

A fair Amazon.com review of the book:

http://www.amazon.com/Life-Before-Scientific-Investigation-Childrens/dp/0312321376

What strikes me about Tucker, a medical doctor, is that he never, ever, ever leaves behind the scientific method or spirit. The scientific method is have a hypothesis, then gather hard facts and from them develop a theory to explain them — and provide other scientists with your methods and data and a means to do their own experiments to verify or disprove your findings…..

The book is anything but dogmatic — or full of New-Age-y flower-power assertions. The reason why the founder of Xerox Corporation (inventor of the photocopy machine) funded Ian Stevenson, MD and then Jim Tucker, MD at the University of Virginia was their rigorous scientific work.

The following  book, still available only in German, is the most brilliant work to date on the subject for those who already accept the concept as being possible and want to know more details….

Die Spirituelle Welt (“The Spiritual World”)

It is appropriate for those who already accept the possibility of reincarnation but still have very reasonable and nagging questions about who, what, when, where and why. Winkler, whom I know from correspondence and reading his blog, is a former computer programmer  who awoke to pro-white issues and became a commentator on the Internet on German and European affairs.

This particular book is barely racial in tone (which anyway would be ILLEGAL in Germany), except inasmuch as our karma affects what race we are born into.  It has a strong ring of truth to it, deep in your gut, and nothing is sugar-coated or Baby-Jesus-Will-Save-You from your own folly….. In that sense it is very German — but Winkler has a delightful sense of humor and a light, easy writing style as well that I as an American loved.

This book changed my life. I want very badly to see it translated. It was very, very real and yet inspiring to me.

==========GENEROUS DONORS

I thank all who have recently sacrificed and donated to me:

=============================

Even the hardcore skeptic and NASA scientist Carl Sagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan, famous for his special TV shows about outer space in the 1980s), who founded CSICOP, the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, and dismissed almost ALL “paranormal” notions, stated that the phenomenon of children recalling exact details of the life of a dead stranger from another family and city, a person who died years or decades earlier, and also claiming very definitely to BE that person in a new life (not just having an ESP “reading” of that person) merit serious investigation.

In Wikipedia’s article on Stevenson, we read:

Stevenson’s work also attracted the attention of Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke who, while intrigued, felt it fell short of providing proof of reincarnation, which they both viewed as unlikely. In The Demon-Haunted World (1996), Sagan wrote that claims about reincarnation have some, though dubious, experimental support, arguing that one of three claims in parapsychology deserving serious study in that “young children sometimes report details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation.”^[26] Clarke observed that Stevenson had produced a number of studies that were “hard to explain“, then noted that accepting reincarnation raised the question of the means for personality transfer.^[27] Skeptic Sam Harris said of Stevenson “either he is a victim of truly elaborate fraud, or something interesting is going on.”^[28]

Although I am sharply critical of juish power over the white world, the scientist and author Carl Sagan did many admirable things that I recognize, among them explaining the mysteries of the universe and advocating a healthy skepticism about paranormal claims.

I have found over and over that the semitic idea that we have just one life and then are judged by God, or just die and go out of existence, leaves people empty and nihilistic.

The crisis comes when a seemingly very good person is murdered, or evil seems to totally triumph over good. Then people lose their faith in God, at least as the three semitic desert religions depict Him.

Rabbi Harold Kushner (I knew people in the Boston area who knew him) wrote a famous bestseller in the 1990s entitled When Bad Things Happen to Good People.

http://www.amazon.com/When-Things-Happen-Good-People/dp/0380603926

It was a very well-chosen title and subject — because when a horrible disease, crime or injustice happens, especially to “an innocent child” (as disease struck Rabbi Kushner’s own child) then we often see that they really do NOT believe in their god as propagated by judaism, saulianity or islam. They go atheist…..

“Where is God??

No! there IS no God!!”

My mother told me that my father told her “after Korea [the horrible atrocities he saw and the senseless slaughter of brave Americans in a deliberate no-win war] it was very hard to believe in God.”

I recall an Elvis Presley song about “a little black boy born on a cold gray Chicago morning in the ghetto.” The kid grows up in a violent, criminal milieu and eventually is gunned down as a teen with a pistol in his hand. Presley’s point was that kids who grow up in such surroundings are fairly unlikely to get, or stay on the “straight and narrow path” which Jesus Christ recommended toward a godly life.

============”IN THE GHETTO” BY ELVIS PRESLEY

(The video shows scenes of Presley’s own humble origins and then his own child Priscilla.)

This is a GREAT song….. It was one of the things that made me examine my nightmares, anger and my own abuse-shattered life, and seek the counselling that helped turn my life around. It is incredibly hard to feel good about yourself if you had a very bad childhood.

================================

So what kind of just God gives us — (as the semites preach — just

1) ONE life followed by

2) divine judgment — but

3) these lives are totally unequal?

Some of us grow up in wholesome families (such as certain Mormons, Traditional Catholics and believing Protestants) and have a ten times greater chance of a happy and successful life than others. Very many individuals these days of all races grow up having the childhood from hell.

(I have discussed my own traumatic childhood and now it helped ruin two marriages and my whole financial and emotional future until I found the courage to seek counseling at age 49. I have seen as a high school teacher that by the 12th grade half the kids are living in a broken home — no mom-and-dad family, but a divorced single working mom, NOT there at home when the kids return from school, with a string of boyfriends going in and out…. And I can think of one case where I suspected the divorced mom’s boyfriend was abusing the daughter while the mother worked the 3-11 pm shift. The worst thing as a compassionate teacher is following the rule NOT to get involved in the private lives of our students… At most we can alert the guidance counselor, nurse or even the police, of course….  I remember one very pretty girl with beautiful long light brown hair who used to come in and cry on her desk. It was heart-rending. What are the odds that girl will grow up to be “perfectly normal”? Btw, I tried just talking a bit with her once but she just clammed up on me.)

Reincarnation answers in a satisfying and real-feeling way our questions about why life is as it is…… Why we suffer either because of

1) bad karma we must endure, for evil deeds we did that were not punished in a previous existence (as in VERY frequently the case; people get off scot-free ALL the time, although not in terms of God); or because

2) we are good people who have volunteered to experience specific challenges and trials to help us grow in understanding, empathy and even the agonies of choosing the rocky path of heroism.

Reincarnation is a profoundly Aryan idea of personal growth through cause and effect. What you sow is what you reap. You either run or you fight.

And as Julius Caesar said about the Kelts of Gaul, their belief in reincarnation made them fearless.

The implications of reincarnation to our racial struggle are far-reaching and massive. This doctrine and this reality are genuinely Aryan and they change everything.

Wikipedia: (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford)

Henry Ford (July 30, 1863 – April 7, 1947) was the American founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of modern assembly lines used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. He was a prolific inventor and was awarded 161 U.S. patents. As owner of the Ford Motor Company he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He is credited with “Fordism“, that is, the mass production of large numbers of inexpensive automobiles using the assembly line, coupled with high wages for his workers. Ford had a global vision, with consumerism as the key to peace. Ford did not believe in accountants; he amassed one of the world’s largest fortunes without ever having his company audited under his administration. Henry Ford’s intense commitment to lowering costs resulted in many technical and business innovations, including a franchise system that put a dealership in every city in North America, and in major cities on six continents.

In 1923, [Henry] Ford’s pastor, and head of his sociology department, Episcopal minister Samuel S. Marquis, claimed that Ford believed, or “once believed” in reincarnation.[63] Though it is unclear whether or how long Ford kept such a belief, the San Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1928, published a quote which described Ford’s beliefs:
.

I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty six. [JdN: He was then 60 years old.] Religion offered nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work is futile if we cannot utilize the experience we collect in one life in the next.

When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had found a universal plan. I realized that there was a chance to work out my ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock.

Genius is experience. Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives. Some are older souls than others, and so they know more.

The discovery of reincarnation put my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so that it puts men’s minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the long view of life gives to us.

====ANOTHER NEW AGE LIBERAL HIPPIE WHO BELIEVED FIRMLY IN REINCARNATION

(DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN’S FACE?)

(General George Patton in North Africa)

===============Wikipedia’s article

This article is fairly accurate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation

What it does NOT go into is WHY rulers would discourage acceptance of reincarnation…..because they want subjects who are afraid to die.

People afraid to die do not revolt.

And ARYANS afraid to die also do not revolt.

Most white Christians do NOT really believe in God or the afterlife — not as their faith teaches them. You can see it by their EXTREME fear of death (which shows they don’t REALLY believe in the Christian heaven) and by their behavior in life, which is shameless and shows no fear of divine retribution.

They act like atheists!

….atheists as in Dostoyevsky’s famous proverb:

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

They act like people who think they have just one life to live and they might as well “grab all the gusto they can.”

AND THAT IS WHAT THE JU WANTS: A HEDONISTIC PEOPLE SEEKING ANIMAL PLEASURES AND TERRIFIED TO DIE — the GOYEEM, in Hebrew, “the CATTLE.” A totally dereligionized, despiritualized animal herd…..focused on stomach and genitalia, pursing pleasure and fleeing pain.

Solutreanism is the certainty that every thought, word and deed, and every duty performed or NOT performed, has eternal consequences, and that in the moment of death you SEE the effects of your life on the lives of others.

================JU KISSINGER OK’D ASSASSINATION IN WASHINGTON DC

That is what the story below boils down to, comrades….. I remember well the alternative print media (there was no Internet then) keeping this mega-scandal alive — a car bomb murdering two people in downtown Washington!!! — from September 1976 on, one year before I moved to Washington DC myself to pursue my studies at Georgetown University.

(I also served in the Marine Corps Reserve in an intel unit, the 35th Interrogation-Translation Team, located eventually at Anacostia Naval Air Station almost directly across from the Pentagon on the east side of the Potomac River….Why were no aircraft scrambled from Anacostia NAS on September 11, 2001 to protect the skies over WashDC, nor from the famous Andrews Air Force Base 11 miles east of Washingotn??? Why did combat jets lollygag all their way up from Newport News in southern Virginia??? How could Wash DC, the nation’s political and military capital — White House, Supreme Court, Congress and Pentagon — be left unprotected for 35 minutes AFTER the second plane (we are told) hit the World Trade Center in an obvious attack of mega-terrorism???)

So the story below is that Kissinger, the German ju and Rockefeller agent, stopped his own message as US Secretary of State from going out to the Latin American dictators to warn them not to be assassinating their critics who had fled to foreign lands.

So the zionist puppet and mega-torturer and mass murderer Pinochet of Chile blows up a car in downtown Washington DC!

With Kissinger’s permission…….

Every zionist outrage that we as a nation have tolerated, starting with the USS Liberty massacre, has led to the next and even worse outrage, culminating in 9/11 and now in a communist, Africa-born, white-hating illegal alien in the White House.

The Secretary “has instructed that no further action be taken on this matter,” stated a September 16, 1976, cable sent from Lusaka (where Kissinger was traveling) to his assistant secretary of state for Inter-American affairs, Harry Shlaudeman. The instructions effectively ended efforts by senior State Department officials to deliver a diplomatic demarche, approved by Kissinger only three weeks earlier, to express “our deep concern” over “plans for the assassination of subversives, politicians, and prominent figures both within the national borders of certain Southern Cone countries and abroad.” Aimed at the heads of state of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, the demarche was never delivered. “The September 16th cable is the missing piece of the historical puzzle on Kissinger’s role in the action, and inaction, of the U.S. government after learning of Condor assassination plots,” according to Peter Kornbluh, the Archive’s senior analyst on Chile and author of the book, The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability. “We know now what happened: The State Department initiated a timely effort to thwart a ‘Murder Inc’ in the Southern Cone, and Kissinger, without explanation, aborted it,” Kornbluh said. “The Kissinger cancellation on warning the Condor nations prevented the delivery of a diplomatic protest that conceivably could have deterred an act of terrorism in Washington D.C.” Kissinger’s September 16 instructions responded to an August 30, 1976 secret memorandum from Shlaudeman, titled “Operation Condor,” that advised him: “what we are trying to head off is a series of international murders that could do serious damage to the international status and reputation of the countries involved.” After receiving Kissinger’s orders, on September 20, Shlaudeman directed his deputy, William Luers, to “instruct the [U.S.] ambassadors to take no further action noting that there have been no reports in some weeks indicating an intention to activate the Condor scheme.” The next day, a massive car bomb claimed the life of former Chilean foreign minister Orlando Letelier and his 26-year old American colleague, Ronni Karpen Moffitt, as they drove down Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. The bombing remains the most infamous attack of “Condor”—a collaboration between the secret police services in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil and several other Latin American military dictatorships, to track down and kill opponents of their regimes. Until 9/11, the Letelier-Moffitt assassination was known as the most significant act of international terrorism ever committed in the capital city of the United States. In the August 30th memorandum Shlaudeman informed Kissinger that the U.S. ambassador to Montevideo, Ernest Siracusa, had resisted delivering the demarche against Condor assassinations to the Uruguayan generals for fear that his life would be endangered, and wanted further instructions. Shlaudeman recommended that Kissinger authorize a telegram to Siracusa “to talk to both [Foreign Minister Juan Carlos] Blanco and [military commander-in-chief] General [Julio César] Vadora” and a “parallel approach” in which Shlaudeman would meet with the Uruguayan ambassador in Washington. He also offered an alternative of having a CIA official meet with his counterpart in Montevideo. (This memo was obtained under the FOIA by Kornbluh.) Several days earlier, the U.S. Ambassador to Chile, David Popper, had also protested the order to present the demarche to General Augusto Pinochet. “[G]iven Pinochet’s sensitivities,” Popper cabled, “he might well take as an insult any inference that he was connected with such assassination plots.” Like Siracusa, Popper requested further instructions. Kissinger did not respond to the Shlaudeman memo for more than two weeks. In his September 16th cable, Kissinger “declined to approve message to Montevideo” and effectively reversed instructions to the U.S. ambassadors in Chile and Argentina to deliver the demarche to General Augusto Pinochet and General Jorge Videla. The cable was discovered by Archive Southern Cone analyst Carlos Osorio among tens of thousands of routinely declassified State Department cables from 1976. “We now know that it was Kissinger himself who was responsible,” stated John Dinges, author of The Condor Years, and a National Security Archive associate fellow. “He cancelled his own order; and Chile went ahead with the assassination in Washington.” Only after the Letelier-Moffitt assassination did a member of the CIA station in Santiago meet with the head of the Chilean secret police, Col. Manuel Contreras, to discuss the demarche. The meeting took place the first week of October. In a secret memorandum from Shlaudeman to Kissinger—also obtained by Kornbluh under the FOIA—he reported that passing U.S. concerns to Contreras “seems to me sufficient action for the time being. The Chileans are the prime movers in Operation Condor.” The memorandum makes no mention of the CIA pressing Contreras on the issue of the Letelier-Moffitt assassination. Several years later, the FBI identified him as responsible for that atrocity, and the U.S. demanded his extradition, which the Pinochet regime refused. In November 1993, after Pinochet left power, a Chilean court found Contreras guilty for the Condor murders and sentenced him to seven years in a specially-constructed prison. Henry Kissinger’s role in rescinding the Condor demarche was at the center of a contentious controversy at the prestigious journal, Foreign Affairs (FA), in 2004. In a FA review of Kornbluh’s book, Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Kenneth Maxwell referred to the undelivered demarche, and Shlaudeman’s September 20th instructions to the ambassadors to “take no further action.” In a response, the late William D. Rogers, Kissinger’s close associate, lawyer, and a former assistant secretary of State, stated—incorrectly it is now clear—that “Kissinger had nothing to do with the cable.” When Maxwell responded to the Rogers letter, he reiterated that the demarche was never made in Chile, and that the Letelier-Moffitt assassination “was a tragedy that might have been prevented” if it had. In response, Kissinger enlisted two wealthy members of the Council to pressure the editor of FA, James Hoge, to allow Rogers to have the last word. In a second letter-to-the-editor, Rogers accused Maxwell of “bias,” and of challenging Shlaudeman’s integrity by suggesting that he had countermanded “a direct, personal instruction from Kissinger” to issue the demarche, “and to do it behind his back” while Kissinger was on a diplomatic mission in Africa. When Hoge refused to publish Maxwell’s response, Maxwell resigned from his positions at FA and the Council. In the letter that his own employer refused to publish, Maxwell wrote that, to the contrary, “it is hard to believe that Shlaudeman would have sent a cable rescinding the [demarche] without the approval of the Secretary of State who had authorized [it] in the first place.” He called on Kissinger to step forward and clarify the progression of policy decisions leading up to the Letelier-Moffitt assassination, and for the full record to be declassified. The declassification of Kissinger’s September 16th cable demonstrates that Maxwell was correct. It was Kissinger who ordered an end to diplomatic attempts to deliver the demarche and call a halt to Condor murder operations. Documents Document 1 – Department of State, Cable, “Operation Condor”, drafted August 18, 1976 and sent August 23, 1976 This action cable signed by Secretary of State Kissinger reflects a decision by the Latin American bureau in the State Department to try to stop the Condor plans known to be underway, especially those outside of Latin America. Kissinger instructs the ambassadors of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay to meet as soon as possible with the chief of state or the highest appropriate official of their respective countries and to convey a direct message, known in diplomatic language as a “demarche.” The ambassadors are instructed to tell the officials the U.S. government has received information that Operation Condor goes beyond information exchange and may “include plans for the assassination of subversives, politicians and prominent figures both within the national borders of certain Southern Cone countries and abroad.” Further, the ambassadors are to express the U.S. government’s “deep concern,” about the reports and to warn that, if true, they would “create a most serious moral and political problem.” Document 2 – Department of State, Action Memorandum, Ambassador Harry Schlaudeman to Secretary Kissinger, “Operation Condor,” August 30, 1976 In his memo to Kissinger dated August 30, 1976, Schlaudeman spelled out the U.S. position on Condor assassination plots: “What we are trying to head off is a series of international murders that could do serious damage to the international status and reputation of the countries involved.” Shlaudeman’s memo requests approval from Kissinger to direct U.S. ambassador to Uruguay, Ernest Siracusa, to proceed to meet with high officials in Montevideo and present the Condor demarche. Document 3 – Department of State, Cable, “Actions Taken,” September 16, 1976 In this cable, sent from Lusaka where Kissinger is traveling, the Secretary of State refuses to authorize sending a telegram to U.S. Ambassador to Uruguay, Ernest Siracusa, instructing him to proceed with the Condor demarche. Kissinger than broadens his instructions to cover the delivery of the demarche in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay: “The Secretary has instructed that no further action be taken on this matter.” These instructions effectively end the State Department initiative to warn the Condor military regimes not to proceed with international assassination operations, since the demarche has not been delivered in Chile or Argentina. Document 4 – Department of State, Cable, “Operation Condor,” Septmber 20, 1976 Kissinger’s Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs received his instructions on turning off the Condor demarche on September 16th. Three days later, while in Costa Rica, Shlaudeman receives another cable, which remains secret, from his deputy, William Luers, regarding how to proceed on the demarche. At this point, on September 20, Shlaudeman directs Luers, to “instruct the [U.S.] ambassadors to take no further action noting that there have been no reports in some weeks indicating an intention to activate the Condor scheme.” Condor’s most infamous “scheme” comes to fruition the very next day when a car-bomb planted by agents of the Chilean secret police takes the life of former Chilean diplomat, and leading Pinochet opponent, Orlando Letelier, and his 26-year old American colleague, Ronni Karpen Moffitt, in downtown Washington D.C. Document 5 – Briefing Memorandum, Ambassador Harry Schlaudeman to Secretary Kissinger, “Operation Condor,” October 8, 1976 In his October 8 memo to Kissinger transmitting a CIA memorandum of conversation with Col.
