Ayn Rand and the Untermensch Morlocks: Ban Both Carbon and Sun, chant the Ubermensch Socialist Eloi of Today
The Thule Society figured prominently in the Hellboy movies and Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum in discussions of mysticism, Knights Templar and Rosicrucian secret societies.

On the eve of the Nazi war with the Soviet Union, Hess, a recipient of the Iron Cross in World War I, flew solo on 10 May 1941 and parachuted into Scotland with the hope of making Britain an ally of the Germans to prevent his vision of an endless line of children’s coffins with weeping mothers behind them, both English and German, and another line of coffins of mothers with mourning children.
Hess was debriefed and interviewed by Tavistock regarding his paranoid fear of poisoning. He was held for trial after the war in Nuremberg, where ironically he had written the laws in 1935.
Although not found guilty of war crimes, and despite lasting psychiatric signs of insanity, Hess was sentenced to life in Berlin’s Spandau Prison as Prisoner Number 7 for conspiracy to commit war crimes.
After all other Nazi prisoners were released in 1966, the Soviets refused to approve the release of Hess, suspecting a secret pact with Britain against them.
For two more decades, Hess, who had missed 4 years of World War II, was the sole companion of Spandau prison Warden Eugene K Bird, who wrote a 1974 book titled The Loneliest Man in the World: The Inside Story of the 30-Year Imprisonment of Rudolf Hess.
Churchill described Hess as an envoy of benevolence, a medical, not criminal case. Britain’s Chief Nuremberg Prosecutor described the prolonged imprisonment as a humanitarian scandal. When the Soviets finally relented in 1987, Hess was notified of the decision to release him.
On 17 August 1987 Hess was found in a summer house in a garden located in a secure area of the prison with an electrical cord wrapped around his neck. His death was ruled a suicide by self-asphyxiation after four decades in prison.
Hess was 93.

Aloha Rich,
Just found your site after reading Rick’s Pick’s. Nice to know there is someone else in Hawaii who ‘gets it’. I have to be careful opening my mouth in public due to the plethora of government workers about and even friends and family don’t really ‘get it’ and think I’m some sort of kook. But, lucky we live in Paradise eh? Do you surf?
