A Touchy Subject

​

I’m sure you’ve heard of it; Operation Paperclip is well-documented, after all.

The name “Paperclip” comes from the paperclip that marked any documents pertaining to the most experienced and sought-after Nazi scientists of all fields that the Joint Chiefs of Staff were courting as WW2 came to an end, and the state of mind was that the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. were gearing up for a war of the worlds.

I think of that time a lot. A lot of innovation flooded the world at the turn of the 20^th century, with electricity, automobiles, airplanes, and American entrepreneurship that had never been seen before.

One of the books that influenced my life the most, “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill, was created during 25 years of interviewing the great industrialists, businesspeople, and politicians of the era and formulating the principles of deliberate human achievement.

By 1914, Europe’s superpowers were divided into two camps (does it remind you of something like NATO vs. BRICS?), and a war started that lasted four full years.

Germany, which was an industrial giant, was deemed the big loser, and a discharged Austrian-born soldier that was then homeless in the streets of Vienna after failing to be admitted into art school (twice) was angered about the state of affairs.

Just 20 years later, he would rule Germany and begin his quest to conquer the eastern countries, Poland and the U.S.S.R., to expand the living area of the Germans.

History would have looked different had the admission process to art school been easier…

​

Nazi German military ambitions had no boundaries, and their chemists, aeronautic engineers, and atomic scientists were working on revolutionary weapons for warfare.

American Deep State interests faced a grave moral dilemma and a practically impossible game theory question: what would the Soviets do with all the priceless knowledge of the Nazi war machine? Would they destroy it, ban it, and censor it for the benefit of all mankind or would they capitalize on, exploit, and fully use it in the standoff against the U.S.A.? One of these Nazis became instrumental in NASA!

The Soviets were asking themselves the same question: what would a country that had the nerve to detonate two nuclear bombs over civilian targets and obliterate between 110,000 and 210,000 Japanese do with the brainpower and data collected from Nazi war criminals who also happened to be brilliant men of science in the fields of medicine, rocket science, aeronautics, chemistry, atomic bombs, biology, and psychiatry?

Operation Paperclip brought over 1,500 Nazis to America, some of whom were Hitler’s favorite people. Some of them were on trial in Nuremberg when their cases were suddenly dropped, or other arrangements were made to release them. This coincides with the signing of the Bretton-Woods Agreement and the formation of the gold standard, which could have only existed, thanks to the flow of gold into the U.S.A., during the war years.

Why am I telling you this?

There are two primary reasons:

• The United States of America holds only one core principle as its most sacred: WINNING.

When push comes to shove, it will go to extremes, to the ends of the Earth, in order to stay the world’s most dominant country.

• For the first time in 30 years, a new power has arisen to challenge it after a three-decade free ride as the only empire.

This means that the U.S. will do anything to keep China at bay.

The last time it took unprecedented action, gold more than doubled. I expect this time to be very similar.
