About book Blowback: America's Recruitment Of Nazis And Its Destructive Impact On Our Domestic And Foreign Policy (2014)
This is one of the books that comprise the “Forbidden Bookshelf” edited by Mark Crispin Miller for Open Road Media. There are six or seven books in the series, each of which is purported to be a book that the ‘Government’ would rather keep out of continued publication. This would be great if it were true, but if the US government is afraid of this book, anyone who is part of that type of work should be sent to run the US AID library in Kabul or Bagdad. Keeping in mind that this book was first published in 1988, much of what is in this book is so dated as to be ‘forgotten history’. You could learn more about what is in this book by watching old episodes of “60 minutes”. It mostly exposes the CIA and State Department use of ex-Nazis, Nazi collaborators and other ‘fellow travelers’ in the 50s and 60s to run and fund anti-communist groups in Eastern Europe. Not only as spies but also as recruiters to work in the ‘captive nations’; to cause problems for the new communist governments and the Soviet Union. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who realized that this is what we have done all over the world since the end of the Second World War. Much of the underground movements that we have backed during and after the Cold War, were members of local fascist type or anyone who claimed to be anti-communists. This can now be confirmed by our one time backing of Muamar Khadafi, Sadaam Hussein, Anwar Sadat, the ISI (the secret military police in Pakistan) and the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan.All of this traces back to the Dulles brothers before during and after WW2. John Foster Dulles (Secretary of State) and Allen Dulles (co-Head of OSS, and then the CIA) were the spearhead of American conservatives during the early Cold War. Both of them were super-patriots and felt that anything they did was for the betterment of the country. They didn’t care who they worked with or what they did as long as it helped ‘national security’. So backing a few sadists, murderers and psychopaths was par for the course.If you wonder if this works, look at what happened in Iraq when we decided that all of the Iraqi Officer Corp and the leadership and management of the Baath Party would be purged from the Iraqi government. Many of the ‘terrorists’ who are Taliban and ISIS and other guerilla leaders can be traced back to these men who were purged. So even if they are ‘scum’, it would appear that it’s better if they are ‘our scum’ then sent off to be independent contractors to the nearest rebels. Read it as an historical document.Zeb Kantrowitz zworstblog.blogspot.com
