Drohnen, die sich lohnen - "ein fast unbegrenzter Markt"


Aus dem Koalitionsvertrag:


Aus­rüstung, Beschaffung und Nutzung (S. 178)
"Unbemannte Luft­fahrzeuge spielen bereits heute beim Bundes­wehr-Einsatz in Afghanistan bei der Auf­klärung und dem Schutz unserer Soldaten eine wichtige Rolle. Auch künftig wird die Bundes­wehr auf derartige Fähig­keiten angewiesen sein. Die Koalition wird eine europäische Ent­wicklung für unbemannte Luft­fahrzeuge voranbringen. (...)
Extralegale, völker­rechts­widrige Tötungen mit bewaffneten Drohnen lehnen wir kategorisch ab. Deutsch­land wird für die Ein­beziehung bewaffneter unbemannter Luft­fahrzeuge in inter­nationale Abrüstungs- und Rüstungskontrollregime eintreten und sich für eine völker­rechtliche Ächtung vollautomatisierter Waffen­systeme einsetzen, die dem Menschen die Ent­scheidung über den Waffen­einsatz entziehen.
Vor einer Ent­scheidung über die Beschaffung quali­tativ neuer Waffen­systeme werden wir alle damit im Zusammen­hang stehenden völker- und verfassungs­rechtlichen, sicherheits­politischen und ethischen Fragen sorg­fältig prüfen. Dies gilt ins­besondere für neue Generationen von unbemannten Luft­fahrzeugen, die über Auf­klärung hinaus auch weitergehende Kampffähigkeiten haben."

"Grounded"

Theaterstueck von George Brant ueber eine Angestellte, die per Knopfdruck Menschen in ueber 12.000 Kilometer Entfernung toetet, und dann nach Hause geht zu ihrer Familie. 


Drone strikes by the United States seemed to be in the news only sporadically in 2011, when George Brant chanced on a statistic that said the Obama administration was using them at least four times more than the pace they were employed by President George W. Bush. His curiosity ignited, the playwright delved into the subject and emerged with “Grounded,” an award-winning play that explores the life of someone who pushes a kill button while 8,000 miles from the target, then goes home to her family.

ARD: "Ohne Ramstein wäre US-Drohnenkrieg unmöglich" | tagesschau.de                                                               
Deutschland spielt eine weit wichtigere Rolle im US-Drohnenkrieg als bislang bekannt. Nach Recherchen des NDR, WDR und der Süddeutschen Zeitung werden Drohnenangriffe nicht nur über den US-Stützpunkt Ramstein in Rheinland-Pfalz koordiniert. Vielmehr ist die Militärbasis Dreh- und Angelpunkt für sämtliche Drohnenaktivitäten. Demnach werden hier rund um die Uhr Live-Bilder der Drohnen ausgewertet.

Von Volkmar Kabisch, Panorama-Redaktion, NDR
Textbeitrag zu:
US-Militärbasis Ramstein offenbar bedeutender Stützpunkt für Drohnen-Einsätze
tagesschau 20:00 Uhr, 03.04.2014, Julie Kurz/John Goetz, NDR

Brandon Bryant hat bis zum Ende seiner Dienstzeit als Drohnenpilot in einer Einheit der amerikanischen Streitkräfte gedient, die genau 1626 Menschen getötet haben soll. So hat es ihm die US-Air-Force schriftlich mitgeteilt. Stolz ist er darauf nicht. Irgendwann konnte er nicht mehr. Er sagt, er habe sich schuldig gemacht. Schließlich verließ er die Truppe. Doch für den 28-Jährigen ist klar: "Deutschland ist essenziell für alle amerikanischen Drohnenoperationen weltweit. Ohne die Ramstein Air-Force Base in Deutschland wäre das alles nicht möglich."
Wenn Bryant auf einem Stützpunkt in New Mexico den Dienst am Joystick versah, "dann gab es bei mehr als 6000 Stunden, die ich geflogen bin, und Tausenden Missionen, die ich geflogen bin, keinen einzigen Fall, in dem ich Ramstein nicht angerufen hätte, um mich mit meiner Drohne verbinden zu lassen." Denn auf der Luftwaffenbasis befinde sich die zentrale Relais-Station, die den Piloten in den USA mit seiner Drohne in Einsatzgebieten wie Pakistan oder Jemen verbindet.

Wegen der großen Entfernung zwischen den Einsatzgebieten im Nahen Osten und den Drohnenpiloten in den Vereinigten Staaten müsse das Signal der Drohne über Deutschland umgeleitet werden - per Satellit und Erdkabelverbindung. […]
Dabei ist Ramstein nicht nur eine Durchgangsstation für Drohnendaten aus Pakistan oder dem Jemen. Hier werden die Daten durch Spezialeinheiten sogar ausgewertet und verarbeitet.

So befindet sich auf der Basis das so genannte "Distributed Ground System" (DGS-4), zu Deutsch etwa Boden-Verteilungs-System. [..] Hier arbeiten Analysten, Techniker und Militärs. […] "Sie sind diejenigen, die dafür verantwortlich sind, sicherzustellen, dass wir die bösen Typen töten", sagt Drohnenpilot Bryant über das DGS.
Die Aussage wird durch Einträge im Karriere-Netzwerk LinkedIn bestätigt. Hier berichten Dutzende ehemalige und noch aktive Mitarbeiter stolz von ihrem Job im DGS-4 - auf der Luftwaffenbasis Ramstein. Einer berichtet darin, "Echtzeit-Videos im globalen Krieg gegen den Terror" ausgewertet zu haben. Ein anderer schreibt über seine Tätigkeit im DGS-4, er habe an "Predator-Drohnen-Missionen" teilgenommen. In welche Operationen das DGS in Ramstein konkret eingebunden ist, darüber verweigert das US-Militär die Auskunft - aus Geheimhaltungsgründen.

Die Bundesregierung erklärte auf Anfrage, die US-Regierung habe ihr versichert, "dass von amerikanischen Stützpunkten in Deutschland Einsätze bewaffneter ferngesteuerter Luftfahrzeuge weder geflogen noch befehligt werden".
Deutschlands Rolle im umstrittenen Drohnenkrieg der Amerikaner ist bedeutender als bisher angenommen. Der NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss in Berlin muss nun Antworten liefern. Drohnenpilot Bryant könnte zur Aufklärung beitragen. Bisher ist er nicht vorgeladen.

Der NDR, der WDR und die "Süddeutsche Zeitung" hatten im vergangenen Jahr erstmals über die deutsche Verwicklung in den Drohnen-Krieg berichtet und die Debatte damit angestoßen.

"Aufstaendische" oder Zivilisten: Wen toeten die Drohnen wirklich?

Von der Webseite der Columbia University Law School

Debate about drone strikes often centers on who is killed: "militants" or civilians. In the absence of official information, casualty estimates provided by media fill the gap; however, the estimates are incomplete and may significantly undercount the extent of reported civilian deaths. The US government owes the public an accounting of who is really being killed.

Mr Livingston wurde Lord Livingston - Anerkennung fuer seinen Beitrag zum Drohnenkrieg?

The former chief executive of BT, who is now a senior Government trade minister, is at the centre of a row over Britain’s alleged role in America’s secret drones’ war.

Ian Livingston was head of the telecoms giant when it won a contract to set up a top secret £15m communications link between an RAF base in Northamptonshire and America’s headquarters for drone attacks in Africa. Last year he was made Lord Livingston and four months ago started a high-profile trade job in the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).

Ian Livingston: New unpaid government trade minister gets almost £9million golden goodbye from BT - Mirror Online                               

Sep 20, 2013
By Graham Hiscott

Departing chief executive Ian Livingston will not be paid in his Government role.
But he is unlikely to have any money worries after BT confirmed it was giving him 2.6million shares, currently worth £8.9million.
BT chairman Sir Michael Rake said: “Ian has done a wonderful job and so this is clearly reward for success.
“BT is far healthier than it was when he took over.”
Baron Livingston, 49, got £2.4million last year in salary, pension and bonuses as well as £6.6million in shares.

Re Ian Livongston MD of BT.

Mr. Livingston may have done a good job for BT, but for people like my mother he was useless. Mother is 90 years old and as already had one heart attack.
We bought a helpline box which comes with a necklace which is worn around the neck.
If there is a problem a button is pressed on that necklace which should give directed contact to the help line provider. This does require a reliable working phone line.
In mother's case her phone line had intermittent connection problems for about one year. Which holding a conversation the connection would drop many times, some times only being able to say one word before it disconnected.
The fault was reported to BT's indian call centre. The problem persisted. I phoned to ask what had been done to resolve the problem.
The lady on the phone confirmed the fault was reported but stated nothing had been done at all.
We were told by BT to get mother another phone which we did.
The problem continued.
Again we were told by BT to get another phone for mother which we did.
We also got a mobile as BT's system was so unreliable.
Eventually BT sent down an engineer. He did nothing, but blamed the help line box.
The help line company replaced the box.
The fault continued.
A second engineer came down, again he blamed the help line box even though it had been replace. Eventually a third engineer came down. He took mothers phone, went outside and with a long pole tap the phone wire leading to the house, the phone dropped the contact.
I emailed Mr Livingston at the onset of mother's problem so he was fully aware of it.
So in my opinion, far from being given 9 million pounds he should have been sacked.

"The expert in military psychology David Grossman claimed that violence in computer games has the same effect with the military training over the soldiers, hat is to overcome the instinctive aversion upon the killing act. For example, the military workers noticed that at more infantrymen this aversion can be annihilated during exercises with the simple replacement of the traditional target with a human shape. Alike, computer violent games develops the familiarization and will of killing."

Drones create a buzz in Southern California aerospace industry
Los Angeles Times, 10. Sept. 2010

The development of unmanned aircraft, an increasingly vital weapon in modern warfare, is centered in the region and growing rapidly as billions in federal money pours in each year.buzz in Southern California aerospace industry

Reporting from Poway — The cars begin rolling through the security checkpoints before dawn. Here, in a sprawling complex amid the craggy rock outcroppings of north San Diego County, 3,300 workers are building a new generation of weapons central to the military's vision for modern warfare.
This is where General Atomics Aeronautical Systems makes the Predator and Reaper drones, robotic planes that can thread the rugged mountains of Pakistan, capture video images of terrorist hideouts and launch 500-pound Hellfire missiles to blast them apart.
The company's 1.9-million-square-foot facility is a showcase for Southern California's drone industry, which employs an estimated 10,000 people. The fast-growing business is fueled by Pentagon spending — at least $20 billion since 2001 — and billions more chipped in by the CIA and Congress.
Seeing an almost limitless market, dozens of defense contractors — Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. among them — are now vying to get in on the action. They are building surveillance drones the size of insects that can fly through open windows, and others as big as jetliners that can skim the stratosphere. […]
"It is the most hotly sought-after weapon system in a generation," said Loren Thompson, a military policy analyst for the Lexington Institute, a think tank in Arlington, Va.
The industry is centered in Southern California, a testament to the region's rich aerospace history and the skilled workforce that arose with it.
It's also the product of big-money lobbying and pork-barrel politics. […]
[Thomas J. Cassidy [Jr.], a gruff former Navy rear admiral, was hired by General Atomics to persuade his former comrades in the military to buy the Predator. Now he was looking for any customers he could find. The Predator could be used to spot wildfires, he told his latest prospects. It could monitor global warming. […]
It was Sept. 6, 2001. Five days later, the world changed. […]
It was a turning point for General Atomics, and the company was poised to take full advantage of the opportunity.
Through its political action committee, General Atomics had been making friends in Washington since the early 1990s, giving nearly $3 million since 1998, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
By comparison, the political action committee for Northrop Grumman Corp. in Century City gave $8.2 million over the same period. But Northrop is a giant, with 120,000 employees and $33 billion in annual revenue. Analysts estimate that General Atomics, which is privately held, has 4,500 employees and annual revenue of about $600 million.
Among those who received campaign money from General Atomics was former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a San Diego-area Republican who in 2006 was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for accepting $2.4 million in bribes from two military contractors and evading income taxes.
General Atomics was not involved in that scandal. But it counted Cunningham among its favored friends, giving him a total of at least $35,000 for his campaigns from 1998 to 2006, and holding a 2004 fundraiser for Cunningham and other candidates at its corporate headquarters in San Diego.
Contributions tell only part of the story. From 2000 through mid-2005, General Atomics spent $660,000 —more than any other U.S. company — to pay for 86 trips for members of Congress, their spouses and aides to company facilities and overseas destinations, according to a study by the watchdog group Center for Public Integrity. Such junkets have since been banned.
"We weren't the only ones spending money," said Cassidy, 78, who recently retired as president of General Atomics' Aircraft Systems Group. "But we had our fair share of guys who were fighting for us on the Hill."

Drohnen-Projekt: EU unterstützt Rüstungsfirmen mit Millionen
Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten  |                 


Im letzten Jahr beauftragten sieben EU-Länder – darunter Deutschland, Frankreich, Griechenland, Italien, Niederlande, Polen und Spanien – die EDA mit einer Machbarkeitsstudie zur gemeinsamen Produktion von Militär-Drohnen. Ab 2020 wollen diese Länder über militärische Drohnen verfügen. Deutschland hatte sich bereits bei der Entwicklung der Euro-Hawk-Drohne blamiert, weil diese keine Zulassung für den Luftraum erhielt (mehr hier). Dabei wurden Steuergelder in Milliardenhöhe verschwendet. Trotz ungeklärter Rechtslage zu Drohnen, investierte Deutschland nochmals 483 Millionen Euro das Folgeprojekt Global Hawk (hier). [...]

„Es ist wahr, dass Forschung potentiell sowohl für militärische als auch zivile Anwendungen genutzt werden kann, aber das Wichtige ist, dass wir militärischen Luftraum und zivilen Luftraum unterschiedlich regulieren“, sagte Helen Kearns dem EUobserver.

Die NGO Statewatch erkennt dagegen einen klaren Trend von Drohnenprojekten mit „militärischem und repressivem“ Nutzen. Darunter seien etwa Drohnen für Polizei-Einsätze oder für Grenzkontrollen mit Auswirkungen für Persönlichkeits- und Menschenrechte. Statewatch beschreibt die EU-Forschungsgelder als „Blankoscheck“ für Rüstungskonzerne.

Zeitgleich bemühen sich EU-Institutionen darum, die regulatorischen und technischen Grenzen zu beseitigen, die den Drohneneinsatz im zivilen Luftraum bisher einschränken. Die EU-Kommission drängt darauf, dass die alle Drohnen bis spätestens 2028 im zivilen Luftraum fliegen dürfen. Dafür stehen im Sicherheitsbudget etwa 70 Millionen Euro bereit, mit denen EU-Gesetze entsprechend angepasst werden sollen. Die weitreichende Anwendung von Drohnen im zivilen Luftraum sei für die EU eine „politisch motivierte Priorität“, so Statewatch. [...]

Und was ist mit den "amphibischen Luftkissenbooten"?

Nov 14, 2012 - Unter die Rubrik der teuren Kuriositäten fällt das vergebliche Bemühen der Bundeswehr, 65 amphibische Luftkissenboote zu beschaffen.



Aus dem Bericht des Bundesrechnungshofs 2012



Liegen gebliebene Luftkissenboote [Nr. 63]
  

Seit nunmehr zwölf Jahren beabsichtigt die Bundeswehr, 65 amphibische Luftkissenfahrzeuge zu kaufen. Kosten: 20 Millionen Euro. Nach den Planungen waren die Luftkissenboote für folgende Einsätze vorgesehen: Sie sollten per Hubschrauber an den jeweiligen Einsatzort gebracht werden, dort jeweils zehn Soldatinnen und Soldaten samt Ausrüstung aufnehmen und sie über Flüsse und Seen transportieren können. Bis heute ist es nicht gelungen, funktionsfähigeBoote zu beschaffen.

So führte die Bundeswehr zunächst Versuche mit zwei Prototypen durch. Kosten: 1,1 Millionen Euro. Nachdem diese Versuche erfolglos verliefen, entschloss sie sich im Jahr 2009, einen dritten Prototyp zu testen. Sie bestellte dieses Luftkissenboot eines australischen Herstellers bei einem Gebrauchtwagenhändler, der im Bootshandel gänzlich unerfahren war.

Der gelieferte dritte Prototyp war dann bis Mitte 2012 immer noch nicht funktionsfähig. Nach
einer Probefahrt, bei der das Fahrzeug liegen blieb, trat die Bundeswehr von dem Vertrag
zurück. Sie sucht weiterhin nach einer Lösung. Demgegenüber ist der Bundesrechnungshof
der Auffassung, dass dieses Vorhaben weder geeignet noch notwendig und auch technisch
nicht realisierbar ist. Es sollte daher nicht weiter verfolgt werden.

Die Luftnummer mit den Luftkissentransportern und der jüngste 656-Millionen-Euro-Skandal um die Aufklärungsdrohne "Euro Hawk" sind längst nicht die einzigen Beschaffungsflops, die der Bundeswehr und ihrer Führung seit Jahren Negativschlagzeilen bescheren. Fragwürdige Projekte und kostspielige Fehlentscheidungen, so scheint es, haben in der Truppe Tradition.

Bluttat in Fort Hood "Er schien glücklich zu sein"


Hatte er Streit mit seinen Kameraden? Spielten psychische Probleme eine Rolle? Die Ermittler sind auf der Suche nach dem Motiv des Schützen von Fort Hood. Und dürften dabei vor allem Positives über ihn hören.                
Erneut hat ein Soldat auf der größten amerikanischen Militärbasis um sich geschossen. Erneut rätseln die Menschen in den USA, was zu der Gewalttat geführt haben könnte.
Äußerungen von Seiten der Ermittler und des Militärs, von Familienangehörigen und Wegbegleitern, lassen zwei Tage nach der Tat zumindest erahnen, wer der Mann war, der im texanischen Fort Hood drei Menschen erschossen, 16 weitere verletzt und anschließend sich selbst getötet

Gunman kills 3, wounds 16 at Fort Hood Army base                  
  
Deadly Shooting at Fort Hood Military Base
 
FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — An Iraq War veteran being treated for mental illness opened fire Wednesday on fellow service members at the Fort Hood military base, killing three people and wounding 16 before committing suicide at the same post where more than a dozen people were slain in a 2009 attack, authorities said.
The shooter apparently walked into a building and began firing a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle and continued firing before entering another building.
He was eventually confronted by military police in a parking lot. As he came within 20 feet of an officer, the gunman put his hands up but then reached under his jacket and pulled out his gun. The officer drew her own weapon, and the suspect put his gun to his head and pulled the trigger a final time, according to Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley, senior officer on the base.
The gunman, who served in Iraq for four months in 2011, had sought help for depression, anxiety and other problems. Before the attack, he had been undergoing an assessment to determine whether he had post-traumatic stress disorder, Milley said.

Lieber eine Datenbasis der "aktiv psychisch Kranken"

Meldung vom 4. April 2014

Reacting to the shooting at Fort Hood on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner reiterated a popular NRA talking point: "There’s no question that those with mental health issues should be prevented from owning weapons or being able to purchase weapons." Those suffering the same diagnosed illnesses as the shooter — depression and anxiety — might be surprised by Boehner's willingness to take away their Second Amendment rights.
Ivan Lopez, the alleged shooter, was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder at the base, where he was stationed and lived with his wife. According to CNN, Lopez "was undergoing a variety of treatments for conditions including depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances," according to Army Secretary John McHugh. Lopez "was prescribed drugs that included Ambien" and "was fully examined last month by a psychiatrist."
An estimated one-in-10 Americans suffers from depression, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That's about 31 million people, skewed told older people and women. The National Institutes of Health puts those suffering from "major depressive disorder" at the lower figure of 14.8 million. As for anxiety? The NIH says that 40 million Americans suffer from that.
Even if Lopez had been diagnosed with PTSD, that's still sweeping up 7.7 million Americans — 2.5 percent of the country. Who John Boehner, it seems, doesn't think should be allowed to have a gun.
That's almost certainly not actually what he believes. His comments, as The Hill's Russell Berman reports, came in the middle of an event at the Capitol. After saying there was "no question" that people with mental illness shouldn't be allowed to buy or own guns, he went on: "we need to continue to look at to find a way to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them."
In the wake of the Newtown massacre, the NRA reiterated its call for one of the few gun control measures it supports: a database of the "actively" mentally ill, which gun sellers could use to screen buyers. Such databases exist, but usually with standards that are far, far more rigorous than anything Lopez was close to manifesting. Current federal law prohibits those who've been committed to an institution or officially determined to be "mentally defective" from buying a gun.
That wasn't Lopez. This is the problem with using mental health as the screen for gun ownership: for many of those who commit acts of random violence, those acts are the first manifestations of more serious mental health issues. And, furthermore, as the millions of depressed and anxious Americans can attest, only a tiny, tiny percentage of those with mental illness — mild or strong — would ever commit such acts.

Wehrdienstbeschädigung PTBS (Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung)

Bundeswehr: Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung bei Soldaten
SPIEGEL online 07.10.2013  

Markus Huth

[…] Das Kosovo und Somalia waren für die Bundeswehr die ersten Kampfeinsätze,
mit ihnen kam eine Welle von PTBS-Fällen. "Wir dachten damals nicht, dass wir
kämpfen müssen", sagt Maik. "Alles deutete auf einen Hilfseinsatz."
Die Bundeswehr zählte 1143 PTBS-Erkrankte im vergangenen Jahr, wie im Vorjahr
offiziell 194 Neuerkrankungen.
Mit Afghanistan schnellten die Zahlen in die Höhe. Im vergangenen Jahr ging dann
ein Soldat medienwirksam an die Öffentlichkeit: "Soldatenglück: Mein Leben nach
dem Überleben", heißt das Buch von Robert Sedlatzek-Müller. Der Diensthundeführer
und Fallschirmjäger hatte im März 2002 in Afghanistan eine Sprengstoffexplosion
überlebt, kam inmitten der Körperteile seiner Kameraden wieder zu sich. Fünf ISAF-
Soldaten starben.
Sedlatzek-Müller setzte sich über viele Jahre gemeinsam mit der Selbsthilfeorganisation
"Bund Deutscher Veteranen" dafür ein, dass der Bundestag das "Einsatz-Weiterverwen-
dungsgesetz" reformiert - mit Erfolg. Seit Ende 2011 haben alle ab 1992 körperlich und
seelisch verwundeten Soldaten Anspruch auf eine Weiterbeschäftigung bei der Bundes-
wehr, wenn ihnen der Truppenarzt eine sogenannte Wehrdienstbeschädigung attestiert. […]
Dass der PTBS-Beauftragte der Bundeswehr ein Brigadegeneral ist, macht es vielen
Betroffenen schwer, über ihre Krankheit zu reden.
Die Situation ist vertrackt: Berufssoldaten können bei der Bundeswehr eigentlich nur die
besten werden. Im Falle von PTBS-Patienten ist es genau umgekehrt: Die Armee muss die
schwersten Versorgungsfälle bis zum Ende ihres Berufslebens übernehmen. Das sorgt für
Spannungen. Viele Kameraden finden es unfair, dass jemand wie Maik Berufssoldat warden
darf, während es für Gesunde nicht ausreichend Stellen gibt, sagt ein Kompanie-Chef hinter
vorgehaltener Hand. […]
Maiks Chef hat von der Kommandantur nur ein vages Schreiben über den Neuen erhalten,
er will den ehemaligen Infanteristen zunächst in einer Ausbildungskompanie einsetzen.
"Ich musste ihm erst erklären, dass Schießen und Gefechtssituationen für mich keine gute
Idee sind." Als er endlich eine Bürostelle bekommt, hat er lange keinen Computer. Warum,
weiß er nicht. Aber ohne Computer ist ein Verwaltungsjob sinnlos.
Maik ist nun ein Krieger, der den Dienst an der Waffe verweigert. Es wäre dasselbe Sturm-
gewehr G36, mit dem er vor 14 Jahren bei Prizren ein Auto durchlöcherte. Es waren die
ersten tödlichen Schüsse eines deutschen Soldaten im Kampfeinsatz nach dem Zweiten
Weltkrieg. Zwei mit Kalaschnikows bewaffnete Serben starben. […]
Laut Bundeswehr beträgt die Erfolgsquote der Behandlung von PTBS-Symptomen 80
Prozent, aber: "seelische Narben können zurückbleiben." Auch nach 14 Jahren und
unzähligen Therapiestunden spürt Maik die Symptome. Ein Geräusch, ein Geruch oder ein
Bild genügt. Dann bekommt er Todesangst, Atemnot und Schweißausbrüche. […]
"Die Betroffenen versuchen das Trauma zu verdrängen. Ohne Therapie besteht die Gefahr,
dass sie in ständiger Bedrohung leben", sagt Oberstarzt Helge Höllmer. Er leitet die Abteilung
für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie am Bundeswehrkrankenhaus in Hamburg. Das könne bis
zur Suizidgefahr gehen. Ob jener Soldat, der sich Anfang Juni im Feldlager von Masar-i-Scharif
in Afghanistan das Leben nahm, an PTBS litt, ist noch ungeklärt. […]
Weichei, Simulant, Verpisser sind die Stigmata, die traumatisierte Soldaten fürchten, sagt
Höllmer. PTBS-Kranke hätten Hemmungen sich jemandem anzuvertrauen. Eine psychische
Krankheit in der Personalakte kann eine Soldaten-Laufbahn ruinieren. Deswegen gehen
Mediziner davon aus, dass die Fallzahl tatsächlich höher liegt. Tausende Soldaten werden
nicht gezählt, die aus dem Dienst ausgeschieden sind.
Der Umgang mit Kameraden mit der "unsichtbaren Verwundung", wie es auf einer Bundes-
wehr-Webseite heißt, ist schwierig. Ein "Psychosoziales Netzwerk" aus Ärzten, Truppen-
psychologen, Sozialarbeitern und Militärseelsorgern helfe schnell und anonym.
Die Ärzte sollen aber auch dem Arbeitgeber Bundeswehr helfen. Manchmal hätten sie ver-
sucht, das Trauma auf die Kindheit statt auf Kriegserlebnisse zurückzuführen, sagt Andreas
Timmermann-Levanas von der Deutschen Kriegsopferfürsorge. "So ist die Bundeswehr fein
raus." Es folgte ein jahrelanger, zermürbender Kampf zwischen Soldat und Dienstherr.
Zumindest das soll sich nun ändern. Weil immer mehr Soldaten mit Traumata aus Auslands-
einsätzen zurückkehren, will die Bundeswehr nun vor deren Entsendung spezielle Tests
durchführen, um psychologische Vorerkrankungen auszuschließen. […]

Arthur John Shawcross [...1945-2008] war ein US-amerikanischer Serienmörder,
der zwischen 1972 und 1990 mindestens 13 Menschen ermordete. [...]

Eigenen Aussagen nach war Shawcross angeblich während der Morde ein anderer
Mensch. [...]

Zudem gab er an, aus seinen Erfahrungen im Vietnamkrieg resultiere eine
posttraumatische Belastungsstörung.
Shawcross Strategie konnte von der Staatsanwaltschaft als Lüge demaskiert
werden,
so dass seine Verteidigung diese nicht weiter verfolgen konnte. Er wurde
im November 1990
aller zehn Morde von Monroe County für schuldig befunden
und zu 250 Jahren Haft verurteilt.

Wenige Monate später wurde er für den elften Mord im Wayne County zusätzlich
zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt. Während seiner Haft gestand er außerdem, als
Soldat im Vietnamkrieg
zwei junge Vietnamesinnen ermordet und teilweise verzehrt
zu haben, was ihm jedoch nicht
mehr nachzuweisen war.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_John_Shawcross


Ein spanisch-sprachiger Artikel befasst sich mit dem Fall Shawcross, ohne die
Prämisse, die Kriegserfahrung habe keine Rolle gespielt, anzunehmen.
In diesem Artikel (s. Abschnitt unten) werden zwei weitere Namen genannt:
Howard Unruh, Veteran des 2. Weltkriegs, der in New Jersey dreizehn Menschen
tötete, weil er glaubte, seine Nachbarn lachten ihn aus, und Michael Ryan, ein
27-jähriger „Rambo“-Bewunderer, der 1987 auf in militärischen Stil gekleidet
auf die Straße ging und dreizehn Menschen erschoss. (Dies entspricht aber
eher dem Muster „Amokläufe“; siehe dazu auch Thema „Übermensch-Fantasien“
auf
http://guttmensch.blogspot.com/2011/12/entscheiden-wer-leben-darf-und-wer.html)
Uno de los primeros casos de los que se tiene noticia de los afectados de este
"síndrome" es anterior a la guerra de Vietnam. Se trata de Howard Unruth, v
eterano de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, asesinó a trece personas en Nueva Jersey,
porque creía que "sus vecinos se reían de él".
Aunque la paranoia suele ser el factor desencadenante de estos crímenes, en
algunos casos los medios de comunicación o la influencia de algunas personas
pueden llevar a cometer actos criminales. Es lo que se conoce en criminología
como "aprendizaje social", un proceso de observación e imitación. Este es el
caso de Michael Ryan, un joven de 27 años profundo admirador de Rambo, que
en 1987 salió a la calle ataviado al estilo militar y mató a tiros a trece personas.

Miguel Ramirez, Ricardo Ramirez
Der eine (Miguel) tötete “nur” seine Frau, nachdem er in Vietnam das
Töten gelernt hatte. Der andere (Ricardo) lauschte fasziniert den
Vietnam-Erzählungen seines Cousins und betrachtete dessen Polaroid-
Bilder von Vergewaltigung und Mord. Er wurde zum Serienmörder.


Aus Wikipedia zu „Richard Ramirez“

Ricardo Leyva "Richard" Muñoz Ramírez (… 1960 – … 2013) was an American
serial killer, rapist, and burglar […] infamously dubbed the "Night Stalker" by
the news media. He used a wide variety of weapons, including handguns,
knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a hammer. Ramirez, who was an avowed
Satanist, never expressed any remorse for his crimes. [..]
As a child, Ramirez sustained two serious head injuries. […]
When he was twelve, Ramirez became strongly influenced by his older cousin
Miguel ("Mike") Ramirez,[8] a decorated Green Beret combat veteran who
often boasted of his gruesome exploits during the Vietnam War and showed
him Polaroid pictures of his victims.[9] These included pictures of Mike raping
Vietnamese women; and some of them showed Mike posing with the severed
head of a woman he had abused.[10] Ramirez, who had smoked marijuana
since the age of ten, bonded with Mike over many joints and gory war stories.[11]
Mike taught his young cousin what he had learned in his combat experiences,
including dispatching someone using stealth and surety.[12]
Around this time, Ramirez began to seek escape from his father's violent temper
by leaving the house at night to sleep in a local cemetery.[…]
"Richie", as he was known to his family, witnessed the murder of Mike's wife,
Jessie, when Mike shot her in the face with a .38 caliber revolver during a domestic
argument on May 4, 1973.[…]
Richie began experimenting with LSD, and he also started to become more fascinated
with his interest in Satanism.[…] The adolescent Ramirez began to meld his burgeoning
sexual fantasies with violence, including those of forced bondage and rape.[…]
Having been found not guilty of Jessie's murder by reason of insanity (with his combat
record being a mitigating factor), Mike was released after four years of incarceration
at the Texas State Mental Hospital in 1977 and his influence over Richard continued.[…]
On April 10, 1984, 9-year old Mei Leung was found murdered in a hotel basement
where ["Richie"] Ramirez was living in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. This, his
first known killing, was not initially identified as being connected to the crime spree. [...]

At his first court appearance [in 1988], Ramirez raised a hand with a pentagram drawn
on it and yelled, "Hail, Satan. […]
On September 20, 1989, Ramirez was found guilty of all charges: 13 counts of murder,
5 attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries.[…] He stated to reporters
after the death sentences, "Big deal. Death always went with the territory. See you in
Disneyland."[…]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Ramirez

“I need not look beyond this courtroom to see all the liars, the haters, the killers,
the crooks, the paranoid cowards…We are all expendable for a cause.
No one knows that better than those who kill for policy, clandestinely or openly,
as do the governments of the world which kill in the name of God and country.”
—Richard “The Night Stalker” Ramirez, addressing the court

Quoted in “Programmed to Kill” by David Mc Gowan, 2004

Morris Solomon Jr.
“Trauma,
Töten, Prostitution, Heldentum”


Killed at least 6 people, possibly up to 7 (1986-87)Vietnam veteran introduced to his favored class of victims, prostitutes, during
his service with the active encouragement of his commanders. His attorneys titled
a section of his appeal, “Vietnam: trauma, killing, prostitution, heroism.”
It described the widespread use of child prostitutes on the base where he served
and how they were both dehumanized and seen as a potential threat related to
the Vietcong. It further described how his Army training taught him to dehumanize
people as preparation for killing them, and that he participated in the dragging
death of prisoners and the crushing death of enemy troops by an armored vehicle.
The appeal included testimony that he returned from Vietnam with a negatively
changed personality and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. “Vietnam…was thus
a place in which trauma occurred every day, aggression was sanctioned, and
women offering sex were debased,” said one expert in testimony.

Howard Unruh
Killed 13 people (1949)
World War II veteran gunner, awarded several medals.
Before enlisting, collected and memorized news clippings about the war. Kept
a detailed record of every man he killed during the war, including details of the
corpse, if possible. Later decorated his bedroom with military memorabilia and
war souvenirs. After his crimes, his brother said that “since he came home from
the service, he didn’t seem to be the same.”


David Livingstone Funchess
Killed 2 people (1974)
Vietnam veteran, the first to be executed for civilian crimes. Was decorated,
including with Purple Heart. Defense attorneys blamed his crimes on post-
traumatic stress disorder from his combat experience.

Rex Warren Mays (aka “Uh-Oh the Clown”)
Killed 2 people (1992)
Later said he committed his crimes using killing techniques he learned in the
Marines.


Nathan Gale
Killed 4 people (2004)
The handgun he used in his crimes was a gift from his mother marking his
military service.

Christopher Jordan Dorner
Killed 4 people (2013)
Navy Reserve. Iraq War veteran.  Earned a rifle marksman ribbon and a pistol
expert medal. Led a security unit. Had “top secret” security clearance. Honorably
discharged as a lieutenant two days before he began his crimes. Attributed his
crimes in part to the loss of his military career in a dispute with his employers.
In a manifesto, he repeatedly compared his crimes to U.S. military strategy and
guerilla warfare; decried Americans’ ability to purchase military weapons and carry
out mass killings; and thanked his drill instructor for “ma[king] sure the vicious and
intense personality I possess was discovered.”

Die Krim: Historischer Schauplatz von Krieg und Konflikt

Aus
Im Zeichen des Zaren
Frankfurter Rundschau / 7.3.2014
(Der britische Historiker Orlando Figes in einem Interview mit Michael Hesse)
 
Es gibt viele Parallelen zwischen dem Krimkrieg von 1853 bis 1856 und dem heutigen Konflikt. Die Schikane des russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin gegenüber der Ukraine und seine Forderungen nach einer neuen Regierung erinnern sehr stark an die Politik des russischen Zaren Nikolaus I. (1796-1855) gegenüber dem Osmanischen Reich am Vorabend des Krimkriegs. [...]
 
Nikolaus I. sah sich auf einer Mission, einem Kreuzzug zur Verteidigung der russischen Christen gegenüber dem Osmanischen Reich. Er wollte es für die russischen Interessen gleich mit der ganzen Welt aufnehmen und überreizte seine Karten. Er setzte alles auf einen Krieg gegen die Türkei, dem Ausgangspunkt des Krimkrieges, und wollte die russischen Interessen im Nahen Osten, insbesondere die orthodoxen Christen vor dem Sultan schützen. Das führte letztlich zur Intervention der verbündeten Mächte Österreich, Frankreich und Großbritannien, die mit ihren Truppen auf der Krim landeten und die Russen besiegten.
 
Nikolaus I. hat dem Westen die Stirn geboten. Das wird in der russischen Geschichtsschreibung als ein moralischer Sieg angesehen. Die Nationalisten feiern ihn dafür. Dies ist Putin bewusst. Der Zar Nikolaus I. wird von dem Putin-Regime bewundert, weil er gegen den Westen kämpfte, um die russischen Interessen zu verteidigen. Putin sucht gezielt eine Identifizierung mit ihm. [...]
 
Ähnlich wie am Vorabend des Krimkrieges findet sich in der russischen Rhetorik und Propaganda der Zorn über die westliche Doppelmoral. [...] Russland soll nicht in der Ukraine intervenieren, während der Westen selbst im Irak und Afghanistan militärisch eingefallen ist. Dieser Zorn auf den Westen geht bis in die 1850er Jahre zurück, diese Wut ließ Nikolaus I. im Jahr 1853 den Krieg führen. Und für die Franzosen und die Briten war der Krimkrieg ein Kreuzzug gegen den russischen Tyrannen. Ein Vorläufer des Kalten Krieges, wenn man so will. Auch die liberale Presse vor allem in Großbritannien spielte in den Konflikt mit hinein. Man wollte die westliche Freiheit gegen die östliche Tyrannei verteidigen – nicht unähnlich der heutigen Rhetorik. [...]
 
Die militärische Aggression der Russen war dadurch bedingt, dass Nikolaus I. die Christen schützen wollte gegen das Osmanische Reich. Zudem gab es russische Interessen im Nahen Osten. Aus westlicher Sicht war es ein politischer Kreuzzug, angeheizt durch die russenfeindliche britische Presse, um die russischen Bestrebungen zurückzuweisen. Sie sollten die Türken verteidigen, um den Russen durch die Briten eine Lektion zu erteilen und natürlich um britische imperiale Interessen zu schützen. Für die Franzosen ging es auch um eine Revanche gegen die Russen, wegen der Niederlage in der Zeit von 1812 und 1815. Die Franzosen und Briten wollten die Freiheit verteidigen und auch schwächere Staaten – so wie auch heute wieder. In diesem Sinne ist der Krimkrieg ein dem heutigen Ringen um die Krim sehr ähnlicher Konflikt, in dem sich vieles von damals wiederholt.
 
Die Lehre aus dem Krimkrieg bedeutet für den Westen, dass er ohne seine eigenen Prinzipien zu verleugnen, eine politische Lösung für die Ukraine und speziell für die Krim nur finden kann, wenn die Russen Bestandteil dieses Prozess sind. [...]

Vor 160 Jahren machte sich der britischen Journalist William Howard Russell sehr unbeliebt. Russell war nämlich, wenn man so will, der erste Kriegsberichterstatter. Sein Einsatzgebiet war 1854 die Krim. Bis dahin war es bei Kriegen in Europa üblich, dass die Geschichte im Nachhinein geschrieben wurde, während Russell per Telegraf für die Zeitungsleser quasi “in Echtzeit” schrieb. Da Russel nicht mit Kritik am britischen Militär sparte, führte dieses 1856 die Militärzensur ein.

Dieser Tage wird auf und über die Krim wieder allerhand gelogen. Besonders peinlich fiel eine Propagandainszenierung auf, bei der ein und dieselbe Schauspielerin in fünf verschiedenen Rollen Ukrainerinnen darstellte. Wer von der Zuverlässigkeit der Medienwelt in Sachen Krieg geheilt werden möchte, dem empfehle ich unbedingt Phillipp Knightleys “The First Casualty”.

Noch eine historische Parallele:

Den Teufel mit Beelzebub austreiben, oder

Nazis fuer den Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus aufpeppen


"Ja – man bemerkt sie auf einmal, die rechten Straßenkämpfer, die in Kiew das Parlament “bewachen”. “Swoboda” heißen sie – und auf einmal darf man doch wahrnehmen, das es sich dabei um sehr bedenkliche Gesellen handelt [...]"
http://www.nachrichtenspiegel.de/2014/03/04/krieg-um-die-krim-beendet-deutschland-blamiert-lehren-aus-einer-beinahe-katastrophe/

 Die Begeisterung der NPD für Swoboda ist erklärbar. Denn die Partei definiert die Nation als “Gemeinschaft, die durch Blut und Geist verbunden ist”, und rühmt den Kampf ukrainischer Kollaborateure an der Seite der Hitlertruppen. Die Waffen-SS-Division “Galizien”, rekrutiert aus westukrainischen Nationalisten, habe, so Swoboda, doch “nur an der Front gegen die Bolschewiken gekämpft”.

Von der Krim nach Connectitut:
Der “anti-bolschewistische” Kampf des Anastase Vonsiatsky und seine Zeitschrift "The Fascist"

(siehe auch Stichwort „Vonsiatsky“ auf

Anastase Vonsiatsky

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
File:Anastasy_Vonsyatsky.jpg

 
  Anastase Andreievitch Vonsiatsky […] attended military preparatory schools in Warsaw, St. Petersburg, and Moscow from 1908 and 1916, entering the Emperor Nicholas Academy in St. Petersburg in the latter year. This Academy has been reported to be comparable with West Point in the United States. During the Second Revolution in November 1917, Vonsiatsky and others left the military school and went to Rostov where they joined in the battle against the Reds. Vonsiatsky himself obtained the rank of Lieutenant and fought with the White Russians until March 1920. During his period of service he received a bullet wound […] Leaving the Crimea in March 1920, Vonsiatsky proceeded to Constantinople where he received treatment in a British hospital. He remained in Constantinople until April 1920, and then went to Paris and in May, arrived in London where he remained for three months as the guest of the wealthy Prince Yuossopoff. In September, 1920, the young Vonsiatsky returned to Paris and during the following month journeyed to Constantinople where he came in contact with many White Russians. […]
It might be noted that Vonsiatsky's revolutionary activities have been the subject of numerous magazine and newspaper stories. It has been stated that he undoubtedly participated in numerous tortures and killings during the Russian Civil War and it had been alleged that failure to disclose his activities in this regard constituted sufficient ground to cancel Vonsiatsky's American citizenship which he received in 1927. Such action, however, was never taken. Some newspaper articles have been published in which Vonsiatsky allegedly admitted the killings but stated "the murders referred to were justified; a civil war was raging and we were defending our country." During 1939, one newspaper carried a story in which he allegedly stated that he would commit the killings again if he had the opportunity. […]
The first political organization Vonsiatsky joined in the United States was known as the Brotherhood of Russian Truth which was founded by three men about the year 1923. This party had as its goal the overthrow of the Communist regime in Russia so that the Russian people could set up a type of government of their own choosing. Members of the party attempted to accomplish its goal by preparing propaganda to be distributed among the Russians. The propaganda was usually in pamphlet form and was smuggled into Russia by workmen who placed the pamphlets in boats sailing for Russian ports. […]

In a speech delivered July 4, 1937, to what was described as the Annual Meeting of Executives of the New England and New York Districts of the Russian National Revolutionary Fascist Party, Vonsiatsky made the following statements among others: […]
"With the existence of Germany and Adolph Hitler, as a fortified base, and directing center for all anti-Communist movements, the beginning of a war by the U.S. S. R. with Germany can change with lightening-like rapidity into the end of International Communism and the victory of the Russian National Revolution." […]

During the FBI's investigation of Vonsiatsky's activities, evidence was obtained that he had had some dealings with William Dudley Pelley's organization. In fact, upon one occasion Vonsiatsky sent several copies of his publication, "The Fascist," to Pelley's organization in Asheville, North Carolina. On one occasion at least, Vonsiatsky ordered a hundred copies of Pelley's publication. During 1936, a representative of the Pelley Publishers wrote Vonsiatsky stating, "Your work for the Cause we are mutually serving, publishing your Russian Fascist, has just come to our attention. From reports given us it seems you are fighting a rather lone battle, and a little camaraderie is not amiss." The letter further stated that Pelley's organization had been in battle "militantly" for over four years and was "determined to block Judah in government and the Jewish bankers by the coming national election." […]
During the course of the FBI's investigation [in 1940], information was received indicating Vonsiatsky once had an audience of thirty-seven minutes with Adolph Hitler in Berlin and had dinner with field Marshal Goering. Vonsiatsky had pictures of Hitler on the walls of the stone building he used as an office and arsenal and reportedly had the highest regard for both Hitler and Mussolini and spoke of them with reverence. It might be noted in this connection that Vonsiatsky has denied meeting with Hitler and other high German officials. […]
Rumors circulating in 1940 indicated that Vonsiatsky was conducting a military camp in which he specialized in teaching youths Nazi principles and military science and tactics. […]
On May 8 and 9, 1942, Vonsiatsky's estate at Thompson, Connecticut was searched by special agents of the FBI under appropriate legal process and vast amounts of material were obtained. Among the articles seized were 17 file cabinets containing three drawers each of Russian correspondence between Vonsiatsky and various Russians from 1929 to date; a complete set of "The Fascist;" hundreds of documents relating to Vonsiatsky's Party; numerous Victrola billies; 18 gas billy cartridges, 1 police billy, 2 gas guns, 57 rifles, two automatic pistols and a quantity of ammunition; 1 large silk banner with swastika emblem; 2 khaki military coats with swastika emblems on the left arm sleeve; and 1 box of swastika arm bands.

Propaganda-Aktivitaeten von Anastase ("Annie") Vonsiatsky
und anderen russischen Nazi-Freunden in den USA
Auch Praesident Hoover unterstuetzte die “Internationale
Bewegung
zur Bekaempfung der Roten Gefahr”
 
On November 20, 1941, an editorial entitled "Ignorance of Russia appeared in the Houston Post. … The editorial stated: -

[…] The White Russian Peter Afanassieff, alias Prince Peter Kushubue, alias Peter Armstrong, arrived in San Francisco in 1922, aided in the American distribution of The Protocols of Zion, and, in collaboration with the former Czarist officer Captain Victor de Kayville, began publishing a pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic propaganda sheet, The American Gentile. In this work, Afanassieff was associated with the Nazi agents Fritz Gissibl and Oscar Pfaus.
Nicolai Rybakoff, a former colonel in the Japanese-controlled White Russian Army of Ataman Grigori Semyonov, arrived in the United States in the early nineteen-twenties and carried on anti-Soviet and anti-Semitic propaganda. In 1933, when Hitler came to power in Germany, Rybakoff founded Rossiya, a pro-Nazi Russian newspaper in New York City. … In 1941, after Hitler's attack on Russia, Rybakoff's New York paper described the Nazi Wehrmacht as "a fiery sword of the justly-punishing Providence, the Christian patriotically anti-bolshevik white victorious legions of Hitler." […]
The most important German and Japanese agent among the White Russians in the United States was "Count" Anastase A. Vonsiatsky. On September 25, 1933, the Nazi agent Paul A. von Lilienfeld-Toal wrote in a letter to William Dudley Pelley, chief of the pro-Nazi American Silver Shirts: - This is to give you a report about my contacts with the White Russians... I am in touch with the "General Staff of the Russian Fascists" …
"Count" Vonsiatsky of Thompson, Connecticut, was an ex-Czarist officer who had fought in Denikin's White Army. After Denikin's defeat, Vonsiatsky headed a White terrorist band in the Crimea which kidnaped Russian citizens, held them for ransom, and tortured them to death if the money was not forthcoming. Vonsiatsky came to the United States in the early nineteen-twenties and married Mrs. Marion Buckingham Ream Stephen, an American multimillionairess who was twenty-two years older than himself. Vonsiatsky became an American citizen and settled down on the luxurious Ream estate in Thompson.
With his wife's fortune at his disposal, Vonsiatsky began to entertain grandiose visions of creating an anti-Soviet army which he would personally lead into Moscow. He started traveling extensively in Europe, Asia and South America, meeting with representatives of the Torgprom, the International League against Bolshevism, and other anti-Soviet agencies.
In August 1933, Vonsiatsky founded the "Russian Fascist National Revolutionary Party" in the United States. Its official emblem was the swastika. Its headquarters was at the Ream estate in Thompson, where Vonsiatsky set up a private arsenal of rifles, machine guns and other military equipment and began drilling squads of uniformed, swastika-wearing young men.
In May 1934, Vonsiatsky visited Tokyo, Harbin and other Far Eastern centers, and conferred with members of the Japanese High Command and fascist White Russians, including Ataman Semyonov. From Japan, Vonsiatsky went to Germany where he met with Alfred Rosenberg, Dr. Goebbels and representatives of the German Military Intelligence.  … Immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, "Count" Anastase Vonsiatsky was arrested by the FBI. He was tried for violation of the Espionage Act, found guilty of divulging United States military information to the German and Japanese Governments, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. […]

On August 13, 1931, Herbert Hoover, then President of the United States, stated in an interview with the San Francisco News: -
To tell the truth, the ambition of my life is to stamp out Soviet Russia.
In 1931, at the time Hoover made his statement to the San Francisco News, a "Plan for an International Movement to Combat the Red Menace" was sponsored in the United States by an organization called the National Civic Federation. The founder and head of this organization, which specialized in anti-Communist and anti-labor agitation, was a former Chicago newspaperman, Ralph M. Easley. […]
The membership of Easley's National Civic Federation included Representative Hamilton Fish of New York; Harry Augustus Jung, a former labor spy and anti-Semitic propagandist in Chicago; George Sylvester Viereck, the ex-agent of the Kaiser and future Nazi agent; Matthew Woll, reactionary vice-president of the American Federation of Labor and acting president of the National Civic Federation, who publicly referred to Soviet Russia as "this Red Monster - this Madman"; and a number of other prominent Americans interested in the anti-Bolshevik crusade.
Early in 1933, Easley became chairman of an organization called the American Section of the International Committee to Combat the World Menace of Communism. The international headquarters of this organization was in Europa House, Berlin. Many members of the National Civic Federation joined Easley in the new organization.(4)
The American Section of the International Committee to Combat the World Menace of Communism sponsored the first official Nazi propaganda document to be circulated in the United States. it took the form of an anti-Soviet book, printed in English, and entitled Communism in Germany. The book was published in Germany by the firm of Eckhart-Verlag. Thousands of copies were shipped across the Atlantic for distribution in America.
Through extensive mailings and at "patriotic" rallies in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities, the book was widely circulated free of charge. A nationwide campaign of newspaper articles, lectures, meetings and form letters was arranged to promote the book in the United States.
The book was prefaced by this quotation: -
At the beginning of this year there were weeks when we were within a hair's breadth of Bolshevist chaos!
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in his proclamation of the 1st September, 1933. […]
Directly underneath this announcement there followed a list of names of leading members of the American Section of the International Committee to Combat the World Menace of Communism: -
Walter C. Cole (chairman, Council of National Defense, Detroit Board of Commerce)
John Ross Delafield (commander-in-chief, Military Order of the World War)
Ralph M. Easley (chairman, National Civic Federation)
Hamilton Fish (United States Congressman)
Elon Huntington Hooker (chairman, American Defense Society)
F. O. Johnson (president, Better America Federation)
Orvel Johnson (Lieutenant-Colonel, R.O.T.C. Association of the United States)
Harry Jung (chief, American Vigilante Intelligence Association)
Samuel McRoberts (banker)
C. G. Norman (chairman, Building Trades Employers' Association)
Ellis Searle (editor, the United Mine Worker)
Walter S. Steele (editor, National Republic)
John B. Trevor (chairman, American Coalition)
Archibald E. Stevenson (former member, United States Military Intelligence) For the American Section of the International Committee to Combat the World Menace of Communism

These are the records of some of the American sponsors of the Nazi propaganda book, Communism in Germany:-
Harry Augustus Jung, former labor spy, headed the anti-democratic Chicago organization called the American Vigilante Intelligence Federation. Its organ the Vigilant was listed as recommended reading by the official Nazi propaganda agency, World Service. Among Jung's early associates in anti-Soviet activities was the White Russian Peter Afanassieff, who supplied Jung with a translated version of the Protocols for distribution in "quantity lots" throughout the United States. Jung was subsequently befriended by Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the isolationist and violently anti-Soviet Chicago Tribune, and set up offices in the Tribune Tower in Chicago.
Walter S. Steele, editor of the National Republic, carried on an incessant anti-Soviet propaganda campaign intended to influence American businessmen. Steele collaborated with Jung in the distribution of The Protocols of Zion.
James B. Trevor was head of the American Coalition, an organization which in 1942 was listed by a Department of Justice indictment as an agency which had been used in a conspiracy to undermine the morale of the United States armed forces. Trevor was intimately associated with anti Soviet White Russians, and his organization constantly spread anti-Soviet propaganda.
Archibald E. Stevenson, a onetime member of the Military Intelligence Division of the United States Army, was one of the leading instigators of anti-Soviet agitation in the United States throughout the period prior to the Second World War. A close associate of Ralph M. Easley, Stevenson subsequently became public relations counsel for the New York State Economic Council, an anti-labor and anti-democratic propaganda agency whose chairman was Merwin K. Hart, a notorious propagandist for the Spanish Fascist dictator, Generalissimo Franco.
Representative Hamilton Fish, of New York, visited Soviet Russia in 1923, when he was head of the firm Hamilton Fish & Company, Exporters and Importers. After his return to the United States he introduced a resolution into Congress calling for the establishment of commercial relations with Soviet Russia. Subsequently, he became one of the most bitter anti-Soviet propagandists in the United States. In the early 1930's, as chairman of a Congressional committee to investigate "American communism," Fish was the chief spokesman of the White Russian anti-Soviet migrants in the United States and other inveterate foes of Soviet Russia. Among the "experts" who supplied Fish's committee with material were the former Okhrana agent, Boris Brasol, and the German propagandist, George Sylvester Viereck. After Hitler came to power in Germany, Fish hailed the Nazi leader as the man who had saved Germany from Communism. As a key exponent of isolationism and appeasement, Fish shared platforms with notorious American pro-Nazis and inserted their propaganda in the Congressional Record. In the fall of 1939 Fish conferred in Nazi Germany with Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi Foreign Minister; Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister; and other Axis leaders. Fish toured Europe in a German plane, urging a second Munich and claiming that "Germany's claims" were "just." In February 1942 it was disclosed at the trial of the Nazi agent Viereck that Fish's Washington office had been used as the headquarters of a Nazi propaganda ring and that Fish's secretary, George Hill, was one of the key members of the German propaganda network in the United States.
At the time of America's entry into the Second World War, scores of American fascist organizations describing themselves as "anti-Communist" were active throughout the United States. These organizations had received guidance and, many of them, financial support from Berlin and Tokyo. Paid agents of Nazi Germany had founded a number of the organizations. Some of the organizations, like the German-American Bund and the Kyffhauser Bund, made little attempt to conceal their foreign affiliation; others, like the Silver Shirts, the Christian Front, American Guards, American Nationalist Confederation, and the Crusaders for Americanism masqueraded as patriotic societies which were "saving America" from the "menace of Communism."
By 1939, no less than 750 fascist organizations had been formed in the United States, and were flooding the country with pro-Axis, anti-Semitic and anti-Soviet bulletins, magazines, newsletters and newspapers. In the name of saving America from Communism, these organizations and publications called for the overthrow of the Government of the United States, the establishment of an American fascist regime, and an alliance with the Axis against Soviet Russia.
On November 18, 1936, William Dudley Pelley, chief of the Nazi-inspired Silver Shirts, declared: -
Let us understand thoroughly that if a second civil war comes to this country, it will not be a war to overthrow the American government, but to overthrow the Jew-Communist usurpers who have seized the American government and bethought themselves to make it a branch office of Moscow...

After the Nazi invasion of Soviet Russia, Father Charles E Coughlin, leader of the pro-Nazi Christian Front, declared in the July 7, 1941, issue of his propaganda organ Social Justice. -
Germany's war on Russia is a battle for Christianity... We remember that atheistic Communism was conceived and brought to birth in Russia chiefly through the instrumentality of godless Jews.
The same propaganda was disseminated throughout the United States by Gerald B. Winrod's Defender of Wichita, Kansas; William Kullgren's Beacon Light of Atascadero, California; Court Asher's X-Ray of Munice, Indiana; E. J. Garner's Publicity of Wichita, Kansas; Charles B. Hudson's America in Danger! of Omaha, Nebraska; and many similar pro-Axis, anti-Soviet publications.
After Pearl Harbor, a number of these persons were indicted by the Department of justice on charges of spreading seditious propaganda and plotting with Nazi agents to overthrow the United States Government. Nevertheless, throughout the war, they continued to spread the propaganda that the Axis Powers were waging a "holy war" and that the United States had been tricked into the conflict by the connivance of "Jewish Communist conspirators in Washington, London and Moscow."
This is the story of a very surreptitious meeting of about 100 known right wing extremists held in The Jung Hotel in New Orleans which was known for being a Nazi safe haven and a meeting, eating and drinking safe house for those of their ilk. Both the employees and all meeting attendees were thoroughly screened and they had to be recommended by someone else as being "one of us" before they could even get a job there or be invited to one of the conclaves held there. What happens at The Jung Hotel, stays at The Jung Hotel. The only known attendees, I believe were Guy Bannister, Edwin A. Walker, Leander Perez and maybe 1-2 more including a Senator from the South.
Here is a brief history of Harry Augustus Jung who was like the Dietrich Eckart of the Nazi anti-Communist Philosophy. Both Walter Steele and Major John B. Trevor were classic Wickliffe Draper Nazi sympathizers or even worse:
These are the records of some of the American sponsors of the Nazi propaganda book, Communism in Germany:-
Harry Augustus Jung, former labor spy, headed the anti-democratic Chicago organization called the American Vigilante Intelligence Federation. Its organ the Vigilant was listed as recommended reading by the official Nazi propaganda agency, World Service.

Walter S. Steele, editor of the National Republic, carried on an incessant anti-Soviet propaganda campaign intended to influence American businessmen. Steele collaborated with Jung in the distribution of The Protocols of Zion.
(Major) John B. Trevor, Sr., OSJ who was head of the American Coalition of Patriotic Societies, started by Wickliffe Draper of The Pioneer Fund, an organization which in 1942 was listed by a Department of Justice indictment as an agency which had been used in a conspiracy to undermine the morale of the United States armed forces. Trevor was intimately associated with anti Soviet White Russians, and his organization constantly spread anti-Soviet propaganda. He and his son were also on the Board of The Pioneer Fund.
Archibald E. Stevenson, a onetime member of the Military Intelligence Division of the United States Army, was one of the leading instigators of anti-Soviet agitation in the United States throughout the period prior to the Second World War. A close associate of Ralph M. Easley, Stevenson subsequently became public relations counsel for the New York State Economic Council, an anti-labor and anti-democratic propaganda agency whose chairman was Merwin K.

Die Webseite der Thompson Historical Society enthaelt bemerkenswerterweise keine Informationen ueber Vonsiatsky und seine Millionaers-Gattin. (Kein Interesse an dieser Art von historischer Heimatforschung, wie wir ja auch auch im Fall der "Murphy Ranch" bei Hollywood, Kalifornien, schon gesehen haben - siehe http://zettelmaus.blogspot.com/2012/05/was-hat-mckiernan-wirklich-gesagt.html).

Die New York Times vom 1. Februar 1922 berichtete ueber das Paar.

Demnach hatte Voniatsky auch Kontakt mit Cherep Spiridovich (siehe Stichwort "Spiridovich" auf meinem anderen Blog; z.B. http://guttmensch.blogspot.com/2011/08/bolschewisten-gesichter-das.html)

Warum erhielt dieser Post das Label "Blowback-Phaenomen"?

Weil das historische Beispiel (Vonsiatsky und Konsorten) zu denken geben sollte. - "Im Kampf gegen den Bolschewismus" wurde nicht immer so genau hingesehen, was fuer Kraefte man rief.
"Blowback" ist der Wind, der zurueckweht; beschrieben wird damit das Phaenomen, dass die Kraefte, die man rief, sich im Endeffekt gegen einen selbst richten koennen.
