More history/background. This is a 1972 article about some of the uber-paranoid associates of the Schmitz family patriarch and factionalism among the far right during Schmitz's abbreviated presidential campaign in the "Watergate summer" of '72. According to Dave Emory, this was written by one Walter A. Carrithers, Jr., in '72. The only thing I know about Carrithers is that he was evidently a Blavatskyan Theosophist (some of his Theosophical writings are <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.blavatskyfoundation.org/carrwrit.htm">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->, and <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://216.239.53.104/search?q=cache:572B0zWtoXoJ:www.hctheosophist.com/archives/pdf/hc199501.pdf++%22death+of+an+american+theosophical+historian%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8#16">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> is his obituary). The link below goes to a 51-page PDF.

SCHMITZ</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.blavatskyfoundation.org/assasination.pdf">(link)</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>When asked by A.B.C. reporter Virginia Sherwood on “Issues and Answers,” October 1, 1972, “Representative Schmitz, you sought and accepted the presidential nomination of the American Party. Now, what makes you think you are qualified to be President of the United States?”, John G. Schmitz replied: “Well, I certainly think I am more qualified than Richard Nixon or George McGovern in view of the fact of their basic policies. Let’s face it: the American people have a choice between Richard Nixon who’s endorsed by Peking or Moscow; or, George McGovern who’s endorsed by Hanoi or the Manson family.” <br><br>[...] Who then is John G. Schmitz endorsed by? Who are his notable supporters? Who indeed are the friends behind him and his party, the friends most helpful in his run for the White House? They will not be seen or heard campaigning for him on national TV or radio. Their names are obscure or unknown to the general public. The leading news media have failed to disclose their identities. But a browse through any local “Schmitz-for-President” headquarters will reveal who is behind him, who his principal backers and associates are. There the tables and racks are loaded with pro-Schmitz literature, for the most part propaganda bearing the imprint of one or more of three sources:<br><br>Educator Publications (1110 South Pomona Avenue, Fullerton, California)<br>Liberty Lobby (100 Independence Avenue, S.E., Washington, D.C.)<br>The John Birch Society (395 Concord Avenue, Belmont, Massachusetts).<br><br>[info about Robert Welch, Willis Carto, Francis Parker Yockey, etc.] <br><br>[...]<br><br>One man in America whose hatred of Jews is frank, blatant and universally known is Gerald L.K. Smith, who rightly may be called the Dean of American Anti-Semites. [...] With the notorious race-baiters Father Charles E. Coughlin and the Rev. Gerald Winrod, Smith formed a triumvirate whose pre-World War II agitation could best be put in the cry, “hands off Hitler!”<br><br>[...] Smith rails against all and sundry whom he imagines to be “Corrupted by Jewish money and flattered by Jewish-controlled newspapers...” (Ib., pp. 73-4)<br><br>This failure to dissemble has earned Gerald L.K. Smith something of public pariah status with his fellow Jew-haters in the Radical Right, whenever they beat their drums for public respect and attention. Mr Smith resents this, and rightly so. Of this double-standard among his friends, he has written: “Numerous right wing, patriotic organizations have been told that they will receive financial support if they will vow that they have no connection with Gerald L.K. Smith because they cannot stand the pressure and the persecution of the Jews.” He then goes on to blow the whistle on his fair-weather friends.<br><br>[...] In the September 1972 number of his magazine, Smith presented in black border and bold type a “WARNING!” It was this: “I do not believe in the integrity, the authority or the documentation of a book which is called NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY, being recommended by certain so-called right wing groups.<br><br>“The man in charge of its distribution is a Jew and when I ordered a few extra copies, the Jew wrote me and said he refused to take the money of the Christian Nationalist Crusade or to permit us, with is consent, to circulate the book.<br><br>“Something is ‘rotten’ and it is not in Denmark.<br><br>“I am not sure but what the book itself is the real conspiracy... “I can think of no piece of literature that will hasten the election of McGovern than this book. What could be more lunatic than to suggest that Communism originated with the American businessman?” (Ib., Sept., 1972, p. 18 ).<br><br>In the magazine’s next issue, Smith does not hesitate to give us some candid insight into the inner-workings of the new American Party. “I sent individuals personally loyal to me to attend the National Convention of the American Party...,” he writes. “When I received their reports I realized that something was missing and something tragic was taking place. An emissary of mine revealed that he was not going to campaign for this Party arid this ticket either directly or indirectly--for many reasons that need not be summarized here. “I also received the shocking news that a Jew by the name of Larry Abraham was in command of the situation and was going in and out of the private offices of the executives as though they had no doors on their headquarters. <br><br>[...] Gerald L.K. Smith goes on to say he also “was shocked” when he “saw that Congressman Schmitz had written the introduction for this book...”; and, “In fact an inside informer tells me that the book was prepared under instructions from its sponsors not to permit one sentence to go into it that would reflect on the Jew.” (Ib., Oct)., 1972, p. 6).<br><br>One need not suppose that if Larry Abraham is indeed a Jew, that he therefore is an agent of the House of Rothschild nor even a “spy” for the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (two pet bugaboos of the Radical Right). Whether Smith knows it or not, Mr Larry Abraham, as a matter of factual record, is a paid agent of the John Birch Society, one of Robert Welch’s prize lackeys.<br><br>[...] During his appearance on the C.B.S. Sunday program, “Face the Nation,” Candidate Schmitz was pressed to explain to what he refers in his occasional references to “the Conspiracy.” Protesting that he could not do this adequately “in the six minutes remaining,” Schmitz recommended to his interrogators and to the audience a book with the title, None Dare Call it Conspiracy. This book may be found in quantity in American Party centers across the country. In its “Introduction,” Schmitz himself promises, first line up: “The story you are about to read is true.” And, in closing, he warns that we can only “pooh-pooh the information herein at our own peril.” Do not, he cautions, “accept the opinions of those who of necessity must attempt to discredit the book. Your future may depend upon it.” .<br><br>But can anything or anyone really depend upon this book? Its author says, “The one thing<br>these conspirators cannot survive is exposure”.Can this book?<br><br>[...] In pretending to unveil the “Great Conspiracy” that disturbs Candidate Schmitz---or with which he would disturb the American electorate---, Gary Allen in this 141-page book pictures a horrible menace. “Communism,” he says, “is not run from Moscow or Peking, but is an arm of a bigger conspiracy run from New York, London and Paris. The men at the apex of this movement are not Communists...” Instead, the author claims that “‘Communism’ is not a movement of the downtrodden masses but is a movement created, manipulated and used by power-seeking billionaires in order to gain control over the world...” (Ib., p. 35). The goals and methods of these purported “conspirators” are said to derive from one “Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order of Illuminati in Bavaria” (Ib., p. 26). <br><br>[...] This “billionaire” network of “conspirators” is industriously pursuing the work of their father Adam Weishaupt. The “network” is, Allen claims “the Federal Reserve-CFR-Rockefeller-Insider crowd” which he adds, operates “the Soviet Union” as “their satellite”! (None Dare Call It Conspiracy, p. 102). World War I was part of their game: “The conspiracy had been planning the war for over two decades.” (Ib., p. 62). While “So-called ‘Prussian militarism’ did exist,” says Allen, “it was no threat to conquer the world.” (Ib., p. 63).<br><br>[...] At this point we must interject the observation that if Gerald L.K. Smith’s spy-network set him right on what was to be left out of this book, it has been badly edited. When it comes time to open the curtain and unveil the alleged master-minds behind” the Great Conspiracy,” the author---like Robert Welch, so often---wants us to clearly understand he is not in the least anti-Semitic: “One major reason for the historical blackout on the role of the international bankers in political history is that the Rothschilds were [are?] Jewish. Anti-Semites have played into the hands of the conspiracy by trying to portray the entire conspiracy as Jewish. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The traditionally Anglo-Saxon J. P. Morgan and Rockefeller international banking institutions have played a key role in the conspiracy. But there is no denying the importance of the Rothschilds and their satellites... <br><br>[...] But who are their satellites? If Gary Allen and his mentors wish to escape the, charge of Jew-baiting they will have to do better than being careful not “to portray the entire conpiracy as Jewish.” Even if they were to affirm that all Jews---or even Jewish leaders---comprise only a small and insignificant part of the alleged conspiracy (limited claims which Welch and Co. does not make), no more in proportion than the wealth of the House of Rothschild is today, outranked as it is by the greater assets of the “Anglo-Saxon J. P. Morgan and Rockefeller international banking instiutions,” the charge would have to stick. Especially so, if the Jewish Rothschilds were to be pictured as the “preeminent” manipulators “at the apex” and the Morgans and Rockefellers portrayed as “their satellites.” And this exactly is what the propaganda of Gary Allen and Robert Welch leads its uninformed readers to believe!<br><br>[...] Governor Rockefeller, according to the Allen-Welch dogma, is no more his own man than is his “boy,” Richard Nixon, nor old J.P. Morgan. For, like the latter---and Lenin and Stalin too, if not all us in the world today---, to Allen’s readers the Rockefellers too (since founder John D. Rockefeller himself) are unmasked as nothing but pawns and satellites of Jewish bankers!<br><br>[...] Gerald L. K.Smith must be right: “I am not sure but what the book itself is the real conspiracy”---a conspiracy to drive the American people into a frenzy of hate-hysteria that then will “throw the Insiders out” and put in power the puppets of the Steinbacher-Carto-Welch combine! It is certain these deceits will not fool the careful, skeptical reader nor escape the scrutiny of honest historians. But how many skeptical readers and honest historians will be left alive to discover, protest and expose if Steinbacher, Carto, Welch and Co. are first set in power by 30 million readers, voters hoodwinked and infected by this false and venomous propaganda?<br><br>[...] To document our assertion that the chief backers of John G. Schmitz and the American Party can best be described as hate-peddlers for fun-and-profit, consider the following remarks from each in turn (statements selected from many available either in their own writings or in writings they uphold, promote and propagate), unmasking:<br><br> 1. Their adoration of totalitarian despots as exemplary national leaders.<br> 2. Their propagation of naked anti-Semitism.<br> 3. Their attacks upon Freemasonry (in which, as in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, Masonry is pictured as the Trojan Horse of Jew-Conspirators, its greatest “crime” being religious tolerance).<br> 4. Their anti-Americanism, reviling the Founding Fathers or the Founding of the Republic in 1776.<br><br>[...]<br><br>In a “Washington, September 14” dateline, the JBS Review of the News (September 27, 1972, pp. 7-8 ) reported: “American Party presidential candidate Representative John G. Schmitz (Calif.), charging that there has been a ‘conspiracy of silence’ about the Communist connections of Arthur Bremer, the man convicted of the attempted assassination of Governor George C. Wallace, vows to ‘see that the full facts about George Wallace’s would-be assassin are brought to light.’ To this end, Schmitz tells newsmen, ‘I have formally requested that the minority investigative staff of the House Internal Security Committee, on which I serve, launch an immediate preliminary investigation of the allegation of the Communist and revolutionary associations and activities of Arthur Bremer.’ <br><br>[...] In calling for an investigation of “the allegation of the Communist and revolutionary associations and activities of Arthur Bremer,” American Party candidate John G. Schmitz ought also to be equally concerned about contacts (contacts seen in its own evidence) dating back to November 1969 between Arthur Bremer and at least one undercover triple-agent with connections to some of John G. Schmitz’s strange friends. He especially ought to do this lest the rumor get abroad that his own alma mater, Marquette University, has long-harbored a phony "S.D.S. chapter” (something on the order of the “Los Feliz Peace and Freedom Club”), staffed and managed by secret spies and provocateurs of the Radical Right, deceivers pledged to the Liberty Lobby cause of “conducting intelligence within leftist groups..." (The How, p. 29.)<br><br>It all sounds so much like a play-back of the Westerfield-Steinbacher game, starring Major Jose Duarte and Sirhan B. Sirhan. At the same time, we suggest, this investigation would best serve the public interest if it opened its hearings to the public and enlarged the scope of its inquiry to include examination of the past activities of Rex Westerfield, John Steinbacher, Major Jose Duarte and American United and its various and unknown “Free Rightists” as these and their associates (known and unknown) became involved in circumstances surrounding the death of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Nor are all the suspicious tracks left behind in the Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy murders yet altogether cold. With each future assassination (and there will be many, if we read Francis Parker Yockey aright), we look forward to being furnished new and warmer leads pointing to the perpetrators of past atrocities.<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://reactor-core.org/pics/nonedare-199ae4c4.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
