Secret documents reveal: almost 9 thousand nazis fled to Argentina

After several decades Chilean and Brazilian authorities agreed to reveal documents about Third Reich fugitives who managed to escape into South America.

According to the documents, there are about nine thousand registered people who used to cooperate with nazi regime. "Daily Mail" informs, that about 5 thousand people stayed in Argentina, another 1,5 to 2 thousand in Brazil and from 500 to 1000 people harboured in Chile. Much smaller groups escaped to Paraguay and Urugway. We should not forget that South America wasn't their only destiny - many nazis escaped also to the Middle Eastern Countries.
Juan Domingo Perón (1895-1974)


So many nazi fugitives in Argentina can be explained by the fakt, that president Juan Perón had sold about 10 thousand unnamed passports to ODESSA organisation. This helped them to gain new identity. The historians claim that revealing these documents can be a turning point in many investigations. Brazilian documents reveal for example that there were about 20 thousand Germans settleing in the country between 1945-1959.

Many South-American governments were not interested in helping to find former nazi officials. There is not much chance to get them still living and take them to the court. Many of Third Reich mysteries remain unsolved, like for example speculations about Adolf Hitler's place of death.

Former Polish minister accused in CIA secret prisons case

Polish media are informing today about a new plot in the CIA prisons case. According to Polish daily "Gazeta Wyborcza" former chief of Intelligence Agency, Zbigniew Siemiątkowski was accused of "overwhelming his rights, infracting international law by illegal arrest and use of corporal punishment against war prisoners.


While the documents remain secret, there are theories that also Siemiątkowski's assisant col. Andrzej Derlatka will be accused. There are rumors that also an accusation against former prime minister Leszek Miller will be prepared.


News about CIA's secret prisons in Europe are blowing regulary from time to time. Today we know about such places in Poland, Lithuania and Romania, there were some scandals also in Denmark and Finland but local politicians managed to hush it.


Still, many secrets in the CIA "passangers" remain unsolved, new strains and proofs are still showing up. In my book "Code of Power" ("Kod Władzy") I have suggested that these secret flights are just a small piece of bigger conspiracy. Now this conspiracy comes to daylight.

Google's doubtful independence

Google at the beginning of its existence was a phenomenal project which revolutionized Internet. Just like in the case of Microsoft and Facebook there are many suspicions that the company can be connected with American intelligence. 
 
Why is that?
 
There are theories that Google is being connected with NSA (National Security Agency), Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) had even sued NSA to prove that they are cooperating with Google. 
 
There is some point in their personal policy, especially when we consider the fact, that on of "high operative positions" was taken by Regina Dugan, former director in DARPA. Maybe this transfer from Pentagon to Google is nothing more than just a take over but if we consider all these suspicions whole case puts whole company in a bad light.

Secret Turkish-American meetings

According to AFP, chief of CIA, David Petraeus  had a closed-door meeting with Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the head of Turkish intelligence, Hakan Fidam. They were probably discussing the situation in Syria.
 
Petraeus' visit is being connected with the debate in the USA discussing possible ways of solving Syrian conflict. There are many senators who claim than one of the solutions is to support the rebels, there are also ideas to bomb governments objects.
 
Turkey would play a crucial role. Ankara is still one of the closest US allies in the region, there are also rumors that it is supporting Syrian rebels. After the officials meeting American embassy's spokesperson has commented that the perspectives of further cooperation are very "fruitful". 
 
It's getting more and more interesting. The conflict in Syria doesn't seem to end and the new war with Iran is also very possible. In the meantime we can notice quiet negotiations, new allies and hidden games to get some support. 
 
Does it remind you Europe in 1930's?

Small robot swarms - it's not sci-fi

Are you being horrified by the perspective of an attack of non-human flying robots? The news about their activity are getting more and more often and drones can be seen not only in such an egzotic countries for us as Pakistan, Afganistan or Somalia. Their effectiveness and low costs had convinced police services (i.e. USA and UK) and European institutions.

Until now drones still remained relatively large devices rarely operating in large groups. This can change with the project created in the Pensilvania Uniwersity laboratories.

Its scientists had managed to create whole group of small robocopters operating as a swarm of insects.What can such devices be used for? Just imagine you are being chased or even attacked by these machines. Armed in a proper way they can be very dangerous.

Great arming in Africa's Corner

Google Maps is a great tool to be used in the intelligence activity. I wouldn't be suprised if even some states' agencies are using it against in spying.

DefenseTech journalists had noticed recently, that something has changed in the US Army base Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti.

They have recognized full arsenal of many different military vehicles: powerful Hercules transporters as well as battle drones station. It is the largest quantity of such devices in whole Africa!

It can be a sign, the United States are getting more interested in Africa, especially when we consider the influence of China in many African countries.
 




Gold coming back to Europe

fot. iprole/sxc.hu
What is going on with this crisis? It has ended or not? Or maybe we are somewhere in the middle and soon a new wave of growth will return? There are many who think so, but it seems that there is still not much trust on the market.

There are more and more signals that many states want to reclaim their control over the gold reserves stored almost 80 feet underground 33 Liberty in NY.


Firstly ZeroHedge had informed about the actions of the German government and soon after that another news that also Switzerland declared that they want to reclaim their gold reserves. The initiative came from four members of local parliament who proposed that:

1) Swiss gold will remain phisically in Switzerland,
2) SNB (Swiss National Bank) will be forbidden to sell its gold reserves,
3) their central bank will be obliged to have at least 20% of their commodities in gold,

It seems that more and more governments are going to take actions taken earlier by Hugo Chavez who orderd to take all Venezuelian gold back to the country.
