Fiction?

Post by Annelie »

While researching a book recommended by Panzermahm "Ultimate Battle" by Erik Norling
I came across a book which is not related but found this statement which frankly blew me away?
What ROBERT HUSSON emphasized at the very beginning of his report is that the Synarchy does not represent simple treason, but, that for a period of at least 10 years, that is from 1929 to 1939, the actions of the synarchy reflected a deeper treasonous corruption in which a number ofpeople in power, and in the French Army and Air Force, knew in advance that the French Army was going to be deliberately defeated by a foreign invasion, and that they were planning for it with the help of high echelon Commanders. This High Treason was centered essentially around the destruction of the Third Republic, which had been the longest lasting constitutional institution of France, since the French Revolution
So, a few people in power yielded France to the Germans for their own means?
Could this be possible?

That sounds suspiciously like the old revisionist theory that Stalin was a long-standing Okhrana plant in the Bolsheviks, and thanks to him the USSR retained and even strengthened its position with respect to controlling the individual and his movements, that the Tsarist sate of Russia had FIRST had had foisted on it by the Golden Horde in the 14th century!!!

A quick google search turned up http://www.tuks.nl/docs/SYNARCHY_MOVEME ... OOK_04.PDF which looks to be a sizeable read. Of course, the warning flags went up when I read it was written by Beastman Skorzeny!

While the author may have felt fear if his true identity were known (cue melodramatic music), a name like that tends to detract credibility, non?

Meanwhile, from Wiki...
French synarchism

According to former OSS officer William Langer (Our Vichy Gamble, Alfred A Knopf, New York, 1947), there were French industrial and banking interests who "even before the war, had turned to Nazi Germany and had looked to Hitler as the savior of Europe from Communism... These people were as good fascists as any in Europe... Many of them had extensive and intimate business relations with German interests and were still dreaming of a new system of "synarchy", which meant government of Europe on fascist principles by an international brotherhood of financiers and industrialists." This view was originally based on the discovery of a document called Pacte Synarchique following the death of Jean Coutrot, former member of Groupe X-Crise, in May 15, 1941.

According to this confused document, a Mouvement Synarchique d'Empire had been founded in 1922, with the aim of abolishing parliamentarianism and replacing it with synarchy. This has led to the belief that La Cagoule was the armed branch of French synarchism, and that some important members of the Vichy Regime were synarchists. An investigation was in fact ordered by the Vichy government, leading to the Rapport Chavin but no evidence for the existence of the Mouvement Synarchiste d'Empire was found. Most of the presumed synarchists were either associated with the Banque Worms or with Groupe X-Crise and were closed to Admiral François Darlan, and this has led to the belief that synarchists had engineered the military defeat of France for the profit of Banque Worms. Historian Annie Lacroiz-Riz wrote a book on this subject, titled Le choix de la défaite : Les élites françaises dans les années 1930 (The Choice of Defeat: the French elites in the 1930s, 2006.

This belief system has been dismissed as a "work of a paranoid imagination which wove together the histories of three disparate groups of activists, creating a conspiracy among them where non existed". In fact, some historians suspect that the Pacte Synarchique was a hoax created by some members of La Cagoule to weaken Darlan and his technocrats and that the Mouvement Synarchique d'Empire never existed. According to this view, the Vichy regime would have found the conspiracy theories about synarchy convenient to justify the repression of esoteric societies such as Freemasonry, and thus did not bother to dispel the rumors concerning synarchy
