The legacy of the Ahrnenerbe and the Thule Gessellshaft



At the turn of the 19th into the 20th Century across Europe there was a heightened interest in esotericism, mysticism and the occult. From about 200 years earlier there had been a growth in fraternal societies such as freemasonry, illuminati, spiritualist groups and so on on the back of the increase in free time and disposable income that came as a consequence of the industrial revolution, and these began to exert more and more influence through the wealth of their members. In Germany there had been, for quite a while, a movement to establish the antiquity of the German race and its ancestors, and the development of the idea of an Aryan ancestral race many thousands of years earlier. Funded by the wealth of several leading German industrialists and bankers there were numerous archaeological, historical and scientific projects across Europe and out into the wider World through the Middle East, China, India and Tibet, as well as West to Iceland, Greenland and on to Canada and North America seeking evidence of Aryan, and therefore Teutonic/German global dominance. This quest extended into the search for folk tales and songs, and cultural practices including witchcraft and sorcery.

These societies coalesced into two closely linked but discrete groups, the Ahrnenerbe, an offshoot of the SS under Himmler charged with establishing the evidence for Germanic natural dominance and for the suppression of “lesser” races, particularly Jews, and the Thule Society whose role it was to establish occult and mystical strength to support the German rise to ascendancy under the influence of Rudolf Hess. Officially the Thule society was defunct by 1920 and the Ahrnenerbe had become responsible for human testing programs to further the war effort, particularly in areas such as the effects of high altitude flying, and battlefield wound treatment. Much of this experimentation was carried out on the victims of the concentration camps, along with military volunteers. Unofficially, both groups remained active throughout the Second World War, and after the defeat of Germany, continued through the distribution of scientists and academics from these groups around the World but particularly in Russia, America, South Africa and South America, as well as small groups in the UK.

It was this mindset of higher and lower races of humanity, and the understanding that lower races could be treated as essentially cattle for the use of the higher races that informed the research programs of the late 20th and early 21st Century and the increasing inequality in society. These research programs require a constant supply of disposable people to fuel testing and that in turn requires a concerted effort to create distinct societal divisions, effectively a small over class and a vast under class. In order to create a larger underclass there is a requirement to increasingly limit access to education, to modify and control diet, to economically control wealth distribution and to limit freedoms. You may question whether this is happening, but ask yourself why there is an obesity epidemic? Why there is such a rise in mental health problems? Why so many people are so deeply indebted? Why school examinations are being made easier and easier to pass? Why governments continually increase the powers of the police and security services? These actions make no sense for a healthy society, so why is our society artificially made unhealthy? The answers will come, but by then it may be too late.
