Inside the Stasi’s Spy-Tech World

Stasi or the East German Ministry for State Security (MfS/Stasi) and its Secrets. Writing about secrets is not easy. They are hidden and jealously guarded. They have to be patiently excavated like artifacts at an archeological dig. The book “Seduced by Secrets” takes a radically different approach to the history of the MfS/Stasi by bringing the story into the realm of intelligence history and distancing itself from politically charged commentary. By...

THE ART OF BETRAYAL, THE SECRET HISTORY OF MI6

A former MI6 officer, one of the few to have risen to become ‘C’ or Chief of the Service, takes pleasure in recounting a story. Framed by a collection of John le Carré’s novels on the bookshelves behind him, he tells it with a boyish smile and a playful twinkle in the eye which suggests a mischievousness not entirely lost to age. The story concerns a young officer making his way...

Unraveling Historical Taboos

Prof. Dr. Michael Vogt, born in 1953, is a distinguished figure in Germany, having studied history, German studies, and political sciences in Munich. Transitioning from academia, he embarked on a multifaceted career as a journalist, filmmaker, and lecturer in media and communication sciences. In 2013, he launched the internet platform “quer-denken.tv,” addressing a wide array of topics. In an interview for Compact magazine, Prof. Vogt delved into his controversial documentary on the mysterious flight of Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy, shedding […]...

The Shocking Truth

In Shadow Masters by Daniel Estulin, the carefully curated image of governments as protectors of their people unravels, revealing a disturbing network of cooperation between political elites, secret-service agencies, international drug dealers, and terrorists. The book offers a chilling exposé of how these forces, which are supposed to be diametrically opposed, often work together behind the scenes for mutual benefit and immense profit. For those who still cling to the “official...

The Problem Has Been Removed

This article is part of an ongoing investigation into the occult and intelligence networks that operated across national boundaries during and after the Second World War. It follows our recent pieces on Rudolf von Sebottendorf and the Thule Society. It should be read alongside our existing articles on Rudolf Hess and British intelligence’s documented use of occult operatives. There is a phrase that appears in a British intelligence memo dated March...

The penniless nobody who helped shaping the modern order

This is not the beginning of an explanation. It is the beginning of a question. What the official biography offers Joseph Hieronim Retinger was born in Kraków in 1888. His father, legal counsel to Count Władysław Zamoyski, died when the boy was young. Count Zamoyski took him in. Financed by the Count, Retinger entered the Sorbonne in 1906 and emerged two years later as its youngest doctoral graduate. He was twenty. He moved to England in 1911 and spent the […]...

RUDOLF HESS: What does a man protect when he has already lost everything?

Rudolf Hess was born on April 26, 1894. He died on August 17, 1987, in Spandau Prison, Berlin, at the age of 93. He had been imprisoned since 1941 — forty-six years. He had been sentenced to life at Nuremberg. He had no position to protect, no career to salvage, no freedom left to lose. And yet he kept a secret for nearly half a century. Even from his wife. Even...

The Date Germany Already Had

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The date is taught as a fixed point in the record — the day the nuclear age began, chosen by American planners for reasons of weather, target readiness, and military timing. There is a second claim about that date, less taught, harder to place, and — depending on who is telling it — either a footnote or a...

The Polite Machine

This is not the beginning of an explanation. It is the beginning of a question. Two men. Two portraits. One mechanism. The first is easy to picture: a man lighting a cigarette with the air of someone who has just finished something. Penniless. No title. No office. No chair at any of the tables he built. And yet the most powerful men of the twentieth century — men who did not follow other men out of sentiment or charm — […]...

The Agency That Became a Bank

On April 13, 1989, after two and a half years of hearings, a U.S. Senate subcommittee released a four-hundred-page report with a six-hundred-page appendix. Its chairman was Senator John Kerry. Its title was dry: Drugs, Law Enforcement and Foreign Policy. Its conclusion was not. “It is clear that individuals who provided support for the Contras were involved in drug trafficking… and elements of the Contras themselves knowingly received financial and material...
