    Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America Rise of 4th Reich J. Marrs INTRODUCTION PART ONE - THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE THIRD REICH PART TWO - THE REICH CONSOLIDATES PART THREE - THE REICH ASCENDANT Epilogue INTRODUCTION ADOLF HITLER’S THIRD REICH ENDED IN BERLIN ON APRIL 30, 1945 Thunder reverberated from a storm of Russian artillery that was bombarding the ruined capital. The day before, along with the incoming shells, came particularly bad news for the fuehrer, who by this late date in World War II was confined to his underground bunker beneath the Reich chancellery. Hitler had learned that two days earlier his Axis partner, Italy’s Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, had been captured by paramilitary Italian resistance fighters. Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed and their bodies were left hanging from lampposts in a Milan piazza. This news was especially worrisome to Hitler because only hours earlier he had married Eva Braun in a small civil ceremony inside the Fuehrerbunker. Hitler had previously vowed never to be captured alive, and reiterated to his entourage that neither he nor his new bride would be made a “spectacle, presented by the Jews, to divert their hysterical masses.” He made obvious preparations for the end of his reign. He handed out poison capsules to his remaining female secretaries and had Blondi, his favorite Alsatian dog, poisoned. Two other house hold dogs were shot. Dictating a last will, he stated, “I myself and my wife—in order to escape the disgrace of deposition or capitulation—choose death.” He ordered that their bodies be burned immediately.

  • National Nonprofit Organizations That Inspire and Enable Invention and Invention-Based Enterprises Andrew Reamer1 February 28, 2014
    THE GEORGE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC POLICY National Nonprofit Organizations That Inspire and Enable Invention and Invention-based Enterprises Andrew Reamer1 February 28, 2014 Introduction Economics literature makes quite clear that national economic growth is very much a function of inventive and innovative activities and that these activities, in turn, depend on a variety of institutional factors such as the distribution of workforce skills and creativity, rates of entrepreneurship, openness to cooperation, incentives for taking risks, the level and nature of public research and development (R&D) investment, and opportunities for serendipity.2 One dimension of a nation’s institutional infrastructure is its array of nonprofit organizations with a mission to inspire and enable invention and invention-based enterprises. This paper provides an inventory of such organizations in the United States, with several uses in mind. First, it aims to be a reference document for use by policymakers, funders, program managers, and academic researchers. Second, it offers initial assessments of the state of the field and identifies opportunities for enhancing it. Criteria for an organization’s inclusion in the paper are that it be: nonprofit, nationwide in scope, and offer programs that inspire and enable inventors and invention-based enterprises.3 The paper provides information on 59 organizations, distributed across six categories.4 First, findings for each category are summarized, then a detailed profile is provided for each organization, by category, in the appendix. The paper’s organization by category follows. 1 The author is research professor at the George Washington Institute of Public Policy. This paper is the public version of one delivered under contract to the Lemelson Foundation of Portland, Oregon for its internal use.
