	So this is Michael Shrimpton, and he is an English barrister, and he is also a columnist for Veterans Today, and a wonderful writer.
	He's also written a book called, is it called Spy Catcher?
	Spy Hunter.
	Spy Hunter.
	I'm always getting the name.
	The name was inspired by Spy Catcher.
	Oh, really?
	Okay, so I was close enough.
	But Spy Hunter, and it's a really fascinating book.
	He is an expert on history, and an expert on all kinds of, I don't know what you call it, munitions, boats, you know, all this equipment, military equipment.
	And he's also an expert in intel.
	And so this is why we have him speak at our conference, because he's going to be sharing.
	A lot about how what he calls the German DVD has infiltrated governments around the world.
	And you might be wondering why it seems that every country is headed towards becoming more like Nazis than it ever used to be in this world.
	It's almost as if we're back around the same time as World War II, That experience from a bit different perspective.
	Of course, the tyranny is medical.
	It's over your body.
	And that's no accident.
	Because, of course, Hitler's regime was known for experimenting on humans.
	And there's a wonderful movie called Universal Soldier.
	There's more than one version.
	I think one, two, and whatever, but it reveals a lot of what's kind of the They're close to being up, and I think they've been discovered by most.
	But it is a tragedy to hear a lot of people still not, you know, understanding that and children suffering, etc.
	I know it's kind of gotten a bit warm, but I think we're going to survive, and Michael Shrimpton, you're welcome.
	Thank you, Kerry.
	Good afternoon, ladies.
	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
	I am well aware that we are being recorded and no doubt put online.
	And somebody is going to be watching this in Montana in winter where there's 25 feet of snow outside because we don't have global warming.
	And they're going to think, why is this bloke in shirt sleeves?
	Well, for the benefit of those who are looking at this on screen, it's 30 degrees this afternoon in Watford, England.
	I propose to speak till about 20 to 4 and then give 20 minutes for questions.
	Does that sound like a plan?
	Okay, now, first things first, England are 241 for 7 at Old Trafford, for those who are interested in the cricket score.
	For the benefit of those watching from overseas, England are playing India in the deciding one-day international at Old Trafford, which is in Manchester.
	And unusually for Manchester, it's sunny.
	Now, again, for those listening abroad, normally in Manchester it's raining.
	Normally in Manchester, if you can see the Pennine Hills, it's about to rain.
	If you can't see them, it's actually raining.
	That's the usual, that's the way we normally operate.
	Now, I am an intelligence historian, as Kelly hinted at.
	What is an intelligence historian?
	Well, we intelligence historians tell you the truth.
	we tell you what actually happened.
	Narrative historians will just explain events And normally, narrative historians completely miss things.
	Narrative history is basically A-level history.
	It's okay for students.
	It's all right for a primer.
	Yes, you need to know your timelines, but the intelligence historian takes it to the next level.
	Now, if Andrew Roberts, who I bumped into over here, he'd be up in arms saying, that's rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.
	Andrew Roberts is a great narrative historian, but he doesn't explain.
	He will write about the French Revolution, for example, wholly unaware that we bankrolled the French Revolution in order to get back at the French for bankrolling the American Revolution.
	If you don't know that, you can't understand either the French or the American Revolutions.
	Now, in and before World War II, the head of German intelligence, the Abwehr, was this chap.
	Admiral Wilhelm Canaris.
	He was allegedly executed at Flossenburg concentration camp, hung whilst naked, which was a bit unpleasant to be hanged whilst naked, by the SS on the 9th of April 1945.
	There is, however, one tiny wee technical flaw in this narrative.
	It's bollocks.
	The only witness was Canaris' head of station in Copenhagen.
	How very convenient.
	He allegedly saw all this nonsense happening through a knot, a hole created by a knot in some fresh timber in the door of his cell.
	Again, absolute, complete nonsense.
	The mystery, Kerry, is why so many people have fallen for the idea that Canaris died in 1945.
	Canaris wasn't the only German intelligence leader to fake his death.
	The head of the Gestapo, Muller, also faked his death.
	He, however, was eventually discovered he'd faked his death because somebody had the bright idea in West Germany of digging up his coffin.
	And when they dug up his coffin, they found bits of three different bodies inside it.
	Now, guaranteed, ladies and gentlemen, if you're dealing with a coffin allegedly containing a dead intelligence chief...
	Absolute guarantee that none of the bodies will be the bloke you're looking for.
	And, in fact, they weren't.
	Muller, of course, reported to Admiral Canaris and was in the DVD.
	Now, Canaris lived till about 1978, and I've dealt with people who met him after the war.
	Again, very interesting.
	How can you meet someone who's dead?
	In fact, he has two graves.
	He was eventually buried in East Germany.
	So he's got an official grave in West Germany and an unofficial grave in East Germany.
	He was the bloke who came up with the bright idea of installing Adolf Hitler as Führer of Germany.
	Now, again, narrative historians will tell you Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, won the elections in 1932, won the elections in 1933, and he was a totalitarian dictator.
	Again, there is a tiny technical flaw in this narrative.
	It's complete and utter bollocks.
	Germany is a fairly sophisticated country.
	Lots of evil people in Germany, although the ordinary German people are quite nice, I've met.
	Half a dozen nice Germans, and I'm sure there are more.
	LAUGHTER The...
	Taking over Germany, it was impossible for a bunch of thugs like the Nazis, who weren't very bright, to take over Germany.
	They didn't have the cash.
	Without intelligence support, they would never, ever have been able to take over Germany.
	Hitler, incidentally, wasn't completely stupid, even though he was a Nazi.
	He didn't, for example, believe in global warming.
	He was an intelligence officer, and he was picked up by British intelligence in World War I. We were concentrating on his side, his sector of the lines, in order to bump him off.
	We actually tracked Hitler in World War I. He was a corporal officially.
	Unofficially, he probably had a much higher rank than that.
	He reported to Canaris' predecessor, a chap named General Ludendorff.
	Kerry mentioned COVID.
	COVID is a development of Spanish flu.
	Spanish flu was a German bioweapon released at the time of the German Spring Offensive in 1918 and nobody spotted it.
	The Germans are about to try and win World War I with a last gasp offensive.
	The Americans are arriving in force on the Western Front.
	A million German troops are primed to attack the Western Front.
	And all of a sudden, a bug turns up that only...
	troops.
	And nobody at the time thought, hello, could this be a coincidence or possibly not?
	Of course it wasn't a coincidence.
	Spanish flu was developed as a bioweapon.
	The problem the Hun, sorry, we are ex-members of the European community, the problem our community partner the Hun had was that we fed our troops better than the...
	And Spanish food didn't create the number of casualties that Gerry was hoping for.
	Their own troops, however, were half starved.
	And one of the problems of bioweapons is the Chinese discovered with...
	well one of the problems is you let it out of your lab if your lab security is no good I mean if you're working on a bioweapon I mean, that's just silly.
	So the Chinese are developing COVID and they let it loose because they have poor lab security.
	And it bit them.
	I mean, the Chinese have been hammered quite badly by COVID because of their own lax security.
	The Germans found that once they'd released this bioweapon, it was very difficult to control.
	And it came back and hit their own troops harder than our troops because their own troops were weakened.
	They were half-starved, and they were therefore more vulnerable.
	The Germans incidentally killed between 50 and 100 million people with Spanish flu.
	It was the single greatest crime in history, and I take pride in the fact that I've helped discover Spanish flu.
	We got the confirmation after the Iraq war.
	I knew the Iraqis had been working on Spanish flu.
	We got their Spanish flu samples, and we were able to compare them with the...
	This is my idea.
	I'm normally, as you know, Kerry, I normally like to hide my lights under a bushel.
	I'm very shy.
	I'm very retiring.
	And it's very difficult to get me to talk about anything that I've done that's been a success.
	But on this particular occasion, it was down to me.
	I came up with a bright idea.
	I said, let's ask the Russians, because they've probably got some Spanish flu victims buried in permafrost in Siberia.
	And that will preserve the virus.
	The Pentagon said, great idea, but we don't trust the Russians.
	So they went searching for permafrost, victims buried in permafrost, and they came up with a few Eskimos in Alaska.
	Poor sod of a team led by a major had to go up to Alaska and dig these bodies out of permafrost.
	It was winter.
	It was very, very cold.
	And then a few months later, I'm sitting in a bar in Washington, as you do.
	I'm in to talk to the Pentagon and the State Department and what have you.
	This is back in the days of the war on terror.
	As Kerry said, I do intelligence.
	At a fairly serious level.
	So, you know, I've got a meeting in the Pentagon and I've just been out to see the boys in the White House, that sort of thing.
	And I'm in a bar and I'm having a drink and a major is, I'm saying, what do you do?
	He said, I've been working with Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
	I said, oh, that's interesting.
	He said, just got back from Alaska.
	Oh, yes, what were you doing up in Alaska?
	Buried, digging bodies, I expect, buried in permafrost around about 1919.
	He said, how'd you know?
	And he said, I'd sure like to meet the man who came up with that idea.
	It was bloody freezing!
	I want to punch him on the nose.
	I said, well, actually, you're looking at him.
	But I apologized and said, well, it was very important.
	It is the greatest crime in history.
	You've just helped uncover it.
	Let me buy you a drink.
	So, Canaris, coming back to Admiral Canaris, he lives to about 1978.
	Adolf Hitler flees Berlin in a Fockwolf, not a Fockwolf 190, a Fockwolf Condor, Fockwolf 200, four-engined airliner.
	Adolf used to tour around in this Fockwolf 200, which had an escape.
	He had a capsule in the back.
	It was armoured.
	So it was very difficult to kill him if you were trying to shoot the plane down.
	And it was the first aircraft that ever had an escape capsule with a parachute, or several parachutes, in fact.
	He very much loved this plane to bits.
	If you watch the movies, they used Juncker's 52s, which is a little three-motor, a little Juncker's tri-motor.
	Hitler didn't tour around in JU-52s.
	He toured around in his own Focke-Wulf 200 Condor.
	And he flew out of Berlin in early April 1945, along with his doctor, who'd been feeding him various quack medications.
	He lived till about 1951, and he lived in Austria.
	He never made it to South America.
	The doppelgangers went to South America.
	Now, how could you tell the doppelganger from the genuine article?
	The genuine article had shaved off the moustache.
	The doppelgangers, of course, kept the moustache.
	And if you think about it, ladies and gentlemen, you're out of it.
	You've just started the World War.
	You've lost it.
	You've screwed up big time.
	You're not very popular.
	Let's face it, you're out of it.
	It's 1945.
	You're not going to win a popularity contest.
	You're not going to get on Love Island.
	You're not even going to get elected as a Tory MP.
	Well, you might just sneak through in 1945.
	You know, you're not very popular, so what's the first thing you do?
	You lose the moustache.
	Exactly.
	In any event, he was advised by Canaris' boys, who would have told him, save the moustache.
	He probably put up a fight and said, I want to keep the moustache.
	He said, look, we're trying to disguise you, mate, Mein Fuhrer.
	You are going to be living in disguise, so the hairstyle needs to go, the moustache needs to go, and you need to basically end up looking not like Adolf Hitler.
	The doppelgangers, on the other hand, all look like Adolf Hitler.
	The doppelgangers all had moustaches carefully groomed in Adolf Hitler hairstyles.
	So for years, decades, you know, people have come up with doppelganger sightings.
	Adolf Hitler's in Paraguay.
	No, he wasn't.
	He was just one of the doppelgangers.
	Gerry's very fond of doppelgangers.
	They've only really gone out of fashion.
	It's really with the development of facial recognition software, which brings me on to my next point.
	Doppelgangers these days, hopeless.
	Because you just apply facial recognition software and you can tell a doppelganger from the real article.
	We know, for example, that Boris Johnson is the real Boris Johnson.
	Probably would be better off with the doppelganger, but that's another story altogether.
	Now, how do we know Admiral Canaris survived?
	People, narrative historians, will keep banging on about proof.
	They want proof, ignoring the fact that...
	They're just seeing the things that people want you to see.
	Diarists normally only stick the good stuff in their diaries.
	They don't tell you the full story.
	minute takers only minute what the minute taker wants to minute, not what actually happened.
	This photo was published in a bar...
	Two things about this photo.
	One, and I picked this point up, the dogs ain't dachshunds.
	Trust me, we've got dog lovers here.
	Those are not dachshunds.
	His favourite dogs in World War II were dachshunds.
	And I've met somebody.
	Now dead, sadly, Commodore Brian English, who met with Canaris in Berlin, in his office, in World War II.
	Frau Canaris didn't like dogs.
	So the dogs always went with the Admiral to the office, and they used to play under his desk.
	Those ain't Dachshunds, those are his post-war dogs.
	But putting aside the dog point, intelligence work, you know, detail.
	In a photo, you're always looking for the stuff that the person taking the photo doesn't want you to see.
	It's the background.
	The dogs may be in the bottom of the photo, but by goodness me, that was something I picked up very, very quickly.
	And then we picked up the size of the ears.
	Now, there's one human organ that continues to grow throughout life.
	Sadly for blokes, it's not the willy.
	It's the ear.
	Now, what that means is with modern software, you can do a comparison of the ears unless somebody's had surgery.
	Now, of course, in the 1960s, the Jerry's didn't know this was a development that would happen in the future.
	The Germans really never got with the idea of computers.
	And the Germans are still thinking in 1960s in terms of tanks, Volkswagens and so on.
	They weren't really thinking in terms of electronics.
	And with modern software, we now know that that is Admiral Canaris, definitely Admiral Canaris, in the late 1950s.
	We can't date the...
	The software can't tell you, look, this was taken in Vienna on a Tuesday in 1959 in May.
	But we can...
	Cobblers.
	At what age was he when he was executed?
	Well, he wasn't executed, that was the whole point.
	He was about 50-something when he was allegedly executed.
	He, in World War I...
	So if you think about it, he was a lieutenant in 1918.
	I think he was born about 1895, somewhere around there.
	He was about 83. He was in his early 80s when he snuffed it.
	In World War I, he was moving gold around.
	Another great intelligence snafu.
	At no point in World War I, or indeed World War II, did anybody in the Allied powers sit down and say, how are the Germans funding these world wars?
	World wars cost money, trust me.
	Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to start a World War, you've got to have a treasure chest.
	You can't just start a World War and put it on a MasterCard.
	The World War I was bankrolled by offshore high-yield trading programmes run through Switzerland, through Swiss banks.
	where you take gold, you run a line of credit against, you run a line, you open up a line of credit, you then have a back-to-back line of credit, so nobody can see the back-to-back line of credit.
	So Bank A will have 100 million Deutschmarks, the old Reichmarks in it, and Bank B will then open a line of credit, and Bank A will undertake not to...
	So the money is effectively frozen in account A. Account B is a mirror account and nobody knows it's there.
	You then go and buy what's called a medium-term note and you then trade it.
	And you trade it at a discount.
	And it's muggins like us and the Americans who buy the medium-term notes at a discount.
	They are then traded.
	But before they're traded, Bank C will lend Bank B. 90% on top of the original line of credit.
	So instead of going to the market with 100 million Deutschmarks, you're going to the market with a billion Deutschmarks.
	And your profits on a billion are basically going to be 10 times the It's suddenly making, in percentage terms of the 100, absolutely massive profits.
	Of course, the bank that puts up the line of credit is paid off with handsome fees.
	So is the bank which does the lending.
	The problem with it is inflation.
	Which is why we have inflation at the moment, because after Brexit, the Germans decided to undermine the British economy by offering lots of trading programmes to British banks and British billionaires and so on, and we have massive amounts of cash being generated offshore.
	This then floats back onshore, and you then lose control of the money supply, and you have inflation.
	Inflation isn't being caused by the war in Ukraine.
	Inflation was already present before the war.
	Inflation is caused by trading programmes.
	And Canaris understood this.
	He understood the importance of gold.
	And in 1914, Canaris was looking after a whole bunch of gold that the Germans got out of China.
	Now, the Germany-China connection is absolutely fascinating.
	The Chinese have been mining gold for at least 10 millennia.
	Gold mining in China starts around about 10,000 BC.
	They have mined...
	So the amount of gold that the old Chinese families have, these are families connected to Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek and Madam Chiang.
	She was a great character.
	I remember dealing with Madam Chiang Kai-shek.
	Madam Wu, she called herself in later years.
	That was one of her aliases.
	I get a phone call from some friend in the CIA saying, yeah, I've got Madam Wu on the phone.
	And she's looking to place 40,000 metric tons of gold.
	Can you find a buyer?
	And I would have these crazy conversations.
	Now, officially, there aren't.
	I remember having a conversation with an ex-Royal Canadian Air Force pilot who said, I'm trying to place 43,000 metric tons of gold.
	Now, you can't have that conversation with Barclays Bank.
	You can't go down to the high street and say, can you buy 43,000 metric tons of gold?
	I've got some really good quality gold for you, and I'll let you have a discount.
	But that's the sort of amounts of gold which are traded.
	A lot of it's hidden in Switzerland.
	The whole of The whole airport underneath is a gold depository.
	It's so big, they have little trains.
	They've got little electric trains to take you down this gold depository.
	It's quite obstacular because politicians don't know what's going on.
	They have absolutely And Canaris was very much involved in gold shipments.
	Out of China, the East German, the East Asiatic squadron, which was a crack squadron, wasn't there to sink shipping.
	It was there to shift gold.
	And when Admiral von Spey found a British battlecruiser squadron waiting for him at Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, he sent Canaris buggering off in the opposite direction.
	Well, that tells you something.
	I mean, he's clearly sacrificing his ships.
	He knew he was going to be sunk.
	He knew all his crew were going to die, as they did on the Shandos.
	Not a single one got off.
	That's because of the importance of the gold.
	Very important.
	Follow the money.
	Now, who's this character here?
	This guy, he looks mean, doesn't he?
	I mean, he looks like a real scumbag.
	He, in fact, was a scumbag.
	He was such a nasty human being, he could have been a European commissioner.
	I mean, you know, anybody who tells you there's no evil in the world, just show them that photograph.
	This bastard, and I use the word bastard advisedly, was one of the most evil bastards who's ever lived.
	He was Canaris' deputy.
	The new agency that Canaris set up in 1943 was called the Deutsche Verteidigungs-Dienst or German Defence Service.
	Canaris realises we are losing.
	He knows they're losing.
	He didn't want Hitler to invade Poland.
	He tried to stop it.
	He actually got a bunch of German special forces to go across the Polish frontier to attack a Polish railway station in the hope of putting the Polish forces on alert in the hope of screwing up von Beck and the Wehrmacht.
	Because Canaris knows.
	He's got a brain.
	He's not a politician.
	He's not Boris Johnson.
	He's not Liz Truss.
	He's actually got a brain.
	And anyone with a brain in 1939 could say, if we attack Poland, we're screwed, because we're going to end up in probably a two-front war.
	Regardless of what Canaris knew that Hitler wanted to have a pop at the Soviet Union anyway, because Hitler wasn't bright enough to understand that Stalin was working for Canaris.
	Remember, the Germans bankrolled the Bolshevik Revolution.
	So Trotsky, Stalin, Lenin, these guys are all working for Jerry.
	And Canaris realises World War II, bad move.
	Not a cunning plan at all.
	By 1943 he realises Germany's absolutely stuffed.
	They've just lost the Battle of the Cursed Salient.
	They've lost the Battle of the Atlantic.
	All attempts to strangle Britain's supplies have failed.
	So they are stuffed bunnies.
	He knows it.
	Sets up the DVD.
	Lahusen was originally the director because he was operating the DVD down in Dachau near the concentration camp and he ends up after the war as its deputy director.
	The London operation, which used to be the Abwehr's London station, which is very powerful, it controlled Neville Chamberlain, for example, it controlled Stanley Baldwin controlled Ramsey MacDonald, so very major players were blackmailed or bought up by the Germans.
	And that London station was taken over and it was turned into an agency called GO2.
	Now, the O2 was then used by Ian Fleming, who was a brilliant British intelligence officer in World War II.
	Ian was tracking GO2, and he took the O2 and turned it into...
	So the 00 section was inspired by the O2 of G02.
	G02 are headquartered in Vauxhall Cross.
	Now Vauxhall Cross, sometimes known as the Wedding Cake, is the Palace of Varieties on the South Bank, which is the official headquarters of MI6.
	But it's also the headquarters of G02.
	Now the six boys cannot get into the G02 section, which is swipe card entry.
	And six do not have the swipe cards.
	Now, trust me, six love to get in there.
	I've had conversations with MI6 officers.
	They're not all stupid, even though they're working for intelligence.
	You know, if I've got my mobile phone on, GCHQ know where I am.
	You know, to high boys, I'm here.
	Sometimes I give my mobile phones to other people and say, just bugger off in a different direction.
	at GCHQ will think, "Oh, Michael's in Maidenhead, but in fact I'm in Portsmouth." So there are, you know, But normally, I'm a practising evil consultant, not a practising barrister, because I was screwed by Sir Jeremy Haywood, the former Cabinet Secretary, who ordered my arrest.
	But I came off better than he did.
	He, in fact, is dead, thanks for falling down an MI5.
	So, you know, I'm still here.
	So at least I've come out a bit better than Jeremy Haywood, who's a right scumbag, no offence intended, hesitant that I always am to speak ill of the dead.
	I didn't kill him, by the way.
	I want to go back to the bar.
	I'm in discussions at the bar about rejoining the bar.
	There are rules about barristers killing your opponents.
	You're not allowed to do it.
	It's just one thing.
	It's discouraged by the bar standards.
	They have a handbook.
	There's guidance in the handbook.
	You must not kill your opponent.
	If somebody orders you arrest, do not arrange to have him given lung cancer.
	I will take questions at the end, if I may.
	How did he die?
	Oh, he died of lung cancer.
	He died of lung cancer, but the lung cancer was...
	Not in a cigarette.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	he wasn't a smoker.
	He died of lung cancer They had protein pills, hypo...oh...hypo...
	I've forgotten the full name.
	It's a Sunday afternoon.
	It's 30 degrees.
	I'll get old.
	So, forgive me if I, Apobek cytodyne deaminase.
	That's not bad for a sunny afternoon at 65 when the temperature's 30. These are protein pills that you can use to coat cancer cells.
	So you get the cancer cell, you coat it with the protein pills, and then it can be introduced in food or drink.
	So they're very easy to bump somebody off with lung cancer in that way.
	The Germans developed the technology at Dachau.
	That was developed originally by Dr Mengele.
	he was so evil he could have been a G and NHS general practitioner He was not a nice man.
	In fact, Brian English met him with Eva Brown.
	He was telling me about a conversation he had with Eva Brown in 1947 and Mengele in Germany.
	Now, officially Eva Braun dies in 1945 in the bunker.
	She doesn't.
	Officially, she's shagging Adolf Hitler.
	Well, she was.
	That's because she was reporting to Admiral Canaris.
	Eva Braun was a honey trap set up by the Adverbe because Canaris, once he lost control of Hitler, after Hitler gets hold of the Austrian gold reserves, so the Nazis suddenly have cash, At no stage did German intelligence ever want the Nazis to have independent financing, nor did they want them to have an independent intelligence service, but they ended up with both.
	The intelligence service was run by a bloke called Heinrich Himmler, who was also a pretty evil individual, although not as evil as Canaris.
	But Himmler wasn't a very nice man.
	he also could have been a European commissioner.
	With GO2 set up in Vauxhall Cross, it is almost impossible for MI6 to function properly, because GO2 have access to all of MI6's secrets.
	They tap into all their computers.
	There's a German electronics company run by S, which I won't name, but it's actually Siemens.
	And it taps the telephones of all MPs and judges.
	So all these Tory candidates do not understand, for example, the Tory candidates for Leeds, they do not understand that their phones are being tapped or their email traffic is monitored.
	It's absolutely, absolutely ridiculous.
	Now, mention of Dakar brings me on to AIDS.
	I wasn't going to talk about AIDS, but you mentioned Kerry said something about Using human experiments.
	Now, one of the advantages Jerry had in developing bioweapons was they had an inexhaustible supply of human subjects on which to work.
	Even the NHS can't do this.
	I mean, you can't just, you know, you can't just select patient ADC and Dean and say we're going to exterminate you.
	Well, they're not doing too badly at that.
	They're not doing too badly.
	No, they just managed to dock over about 25,000 people with COVID, which they could have treated all along.
	I knew they could have treated.
	So, yeah, the NHS is a huge, big, big scandal.
	I mean, the NHS is finished.
	Because once word gets out that we could have treated COVID all along, we knew about the treatments, like hydroxychloroquine with zinc.
	We knew about the combination therapy.
	The Russians, incidentally, were able to break the NHS's firewalls and gain access to Boris's medical records, which is why I know.
	Because a very nice Russian intelligence officer built a mutual threat.
	Ooh.
	Big scandal.
	Not yet out.
	The ability to...
	But they also came across A curious disease in the Belgian Congo.
	Now who ran the Belgian Congo?
	Well the Belgians.
	That's why it's called the Belgian Congo.
	And who took over Belgium in 1940?
	Our community partner, the Nazis.
	And the Germans discovered the existence of what eventually became HIV in files in the Brussels colonial ministry.
	In 1940.
	And Mengele realised, he was not stupid, Mengele, even though he was a doctor.
	Mengele realised that this could be developed as a bioweapon.
	And the Germans, the work on HIV goes all the way back to the early 1940s.
	Now the Germans tried to target the gay community in America in about 1960.
	Proven case of AIDS in America goes back to about 1960.
	But as so often was the case with bioweapons, they couldn't get it to spread.
	So the early versions of HIV didn't work.
	And the Germans went away and came back around about 20 years later, targeting the gay community.
	And there's an interesting historical parallel, because the Germans didn't just execute Jews and Gypsies in World War II, they executed gays.
	I've put a theory which may not be popular with the heterosexuals amongst you.
	Average intelligence of IQ, there's a known correlation between sexuality and intelligence.
	Average intelligence of gays is higher.
	And lesbians.
	Not making an anti-woman point.
	Gay and lesbian average IQ is higher than heterosexual IQ.
	It's just a known fact.
	Not having a go.
	The heterosexuals in the audience?
	It's just a known fact and it looks as though If you can eliminate your target country's gay population, or a large section of it, you're eliminating a lot of its potential leaders, scientists, and so on.
	So many of the brightest and best scientists in history have been gay.
	Most of them have been in the closet, but many of them have been gay.
	A surprising number.
	Well, not surprising.
	If you grasp the link between sexuality and IQ.
	Now, what did the DVD get up to?
	Well, all sorts of funny things.
	And this is a test case on sabotage and the problems you've got when the enemy is inside the gate.
	Now, at the end of World War II, the British de Havilland Company started work on the world's first jetliner.
	And they ended up with the de Havilland Comet.
	First flew in July 1949.
	Potential sales, 1,000 aircraft designed up the road at Hatfield.
	It threatened British membership of the EEC.
	It would have transformed Britain's balance of payments in the 1950s.
	It promised tens of thousands of high-quality jobs.
	It was a world leader.
	It could fly half as fast again as the piston-engined opposition.
	It could fly half as high as the piston-engined opposition.
	And more importantly, it was smoother.
	Turbine engines don't have the reciprocating masses that piston engines do.
	And also it was safer.
	It used fuel that was less volatile than aviation fuel is...
	I mean, basically, crashed in an aircraft with Piston Engine Airlines used 130-octane fuel.
	Jet engines used basically kerosene.
	And you could put inhibitors in the kerosene, which the US Navy do, and the Royal Navy do, to make it even safer.
	So it was a brilliant aircraft.
	The Germans were in a terrible panic about it, so they decided to blow a couple up.
	So they blow one up, called Yoke Peter, flying out of Rome.
	It was blown up over Elba.
	Over water, too deep, they thought, for recovery.
	Cunning plan failed, however, because the Royal Navy, unbeknownst to the Germans, had developed secretly new underwater TV technology, which allowed them to recover the bits of Yoke Peter.
	Oh dear.
	So the comets were grounded and then put back in the air.
	It was blown up flying south out of Rome.
	Now, normally, ladies and gentlemen, if you've got two aircraft that are brand new...
	But no, the Germans successfully persuaded everybody that it was metal fatigue.
	The fact that there wasn't a single bit that showed signs of metal fatigue on the wreckage of the first comet, Jokpita, Didn't stop the Jerry's.
	They arranged for a specially distressed bit of metal that was supplied to the Italians.
	Remember, the Royal Navy is sweeping the streetbed with the underwater television camera.
	They've got divers.
	They've got everything.
	They don't find a single bit of aircraft that has showing signs of metal fatigue.
	Then all of a sudden, the Italians pop up and say, oh, we've got a little piece of metal, and it's got some metal fatigue in it.
	Nobody at the time actually double-checked to see if that little bit of piece of metal, it was part of the ADF aerial, the automatic direction-finding aerial, which was on the roof of the aircraft up at the front, nobody checked to see if it was actually off a British comet.
	It wasn't until I started researching the comets about 10, 15 years ago in detail, talking to people who worked on the comets and so on.
	Then I raise the point, has anybody checked the serial number on the part of this comet?
	Oh, big silence.
	You always know, Kerry, you've got a point where there's a big silence.
	If you got wrong, nobody rushes to tell you.
	Nobody ever delays to tell you you've got something wrong.
	It doesn't happen very often, but I do occasionally get things wrong.
	Everybody rushes in.
	You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong.
	Nobody told me I was wrong.
	I'm sure I'm right.
	The combat was actually a very strong aircraft.
	So the Germans needed to work out, where do we put our bomb?
	We can get the bomb on the plane, no worries, because there is no security at Rome Airport.
	We are in charge of security.
	The chap who put the bombs on both flights was, in fact, a man named Herzog.
	He was dressed as a refueler.
	Easy to blow up an aircraft if you're controlling security and you get your man in as part of the refueling team.
	Straightforward.
	In order to work out, however, where to get the bomb, they needed access to a comet.
	So they got the French to put in a fake order to fly...
	So, the French kindly buy four comets.
	One of their comets is then...
	So there were two cargo holds, one forward of the plane, one after the wings, and that, they reckon, was the best place to blow up the comet.
	And indeed, if you look at the wreckage, it's perfectly clear that an IED was placed.
	in around about that location.
	The BOAC comets were Comet 1s, the French were Comet 1As.
	And I came up with a cunning plan.
	Aha!
	Since they were different marks and since they were going to France, they probably had different part numbers.
	I'll bet the French comets...
	It would have been much the same number, but I'll bet there's an F on the end, or I'll bet there's one letter or number different in the part number, and nobody has ever denied that since I came out with it, and my book, Spy Hunt, was published eight years ago, and my work on the comets goes back a decade.
	So, the one bit that had signs of Metofstieg did not come off a British comet.
	The Comet eventually got back into service as the Comet 4, greatly strengthened, but the plane was already strong.
	So de Havilland strengthened an already strong aircraft.
	What do you end up with?
	A super strong aircraft.
	How do we know it was a super strong aircraft?
	Well, two little incidents.
	The comet's Three big points, actually.
	Firstly, the Comet was so strong, it survived in airline service for decades.
	And when they broke up the Danair Comet, remember Danair, Holiday Airlines?
	The Spanish were very upset with Danair.
	They arranged to fly a Danair aircraft into a mountain once in Tenerife.
	Very, very nasty.
	Spanish air traffic control.
	Always watch out for Spanish air traffic control.
	I'm serious.
	They wiped out 130 British holidaymakers on a Danair Boeing 727 by arranging for it to fly into a mountain.
	Straightforward and simple.
	Pilot told to turn left.
	Pilot didn't know where he was.
	Pilot told to turn left right into the mountain.
	Always be very suspicious of Spanish air traffic control instructions that arrange for the aeroplane to fly into a mountain.
	If that's done, it's normally done deliberately.
	Remember Spain, and those are the days of Franco.
	And as a politician, Franco was even worse than the current Chancellor of Germany, Schultz.
	No offence intended.
	So that's the first thing.
	When the Danair Comets were broken up, they were broken up at an airfield called Lasham in Hampshire.
	The tools they normally used to break up aircraft didn't work.
	They had to bring in special tools to break up the Comets because they were so strong.
	So they could break up a 707 or a 727, but when they came to the Comets, oh, we can't break up a Comet 4. We need special tools.
	Second, A little example, a demonstration of why the Comet was a more than adequately strong aircraft in original form.
	The super-strengthened Comet 4s, thanks to Aerolinius Argentinus, one of their pilots, a Captain Lense, decided to fly into a mountain.
	Not a very sensible decision.
	Yes, the weather was bad.
	Yes, the navigation aids were poor.
	So it's perhaps a little unfair to say he decided to fly into a mountain.
	He wasn't trying to hit the mountain.
	He wasn't a Spanish air traffic controller.
	He was actually trying to land his aircraft at Paraguay Airport.
	But Paraguay Airport, you know, we're talking late 1950s Paraguay Airport.
	Sorry, Ascension Airport in Paraguay.
	I mean, the nav aids were absolute crap.
	So he's trying to get his plane down in a storm at night.
	And he ends up colliding with a mountain.
	Now, normally, ladies and gentlemen, if you collide with a mountain, your aircraft disintegrates.
	The comet was so strong, it actually collided with a mountain, it collided with a tree, bits of the tree came through the cockpit window, the poor old captain was killed, a nice dear old lady decided to have a heart attack and died, but she didn't have a heart attack, she didn't die because the comet broke up, she died because she wasn't British.
	No, she just got into a panic and decided to have a heart attack.
	I mean, in fairness to the dear old lady, aircraft crashes can be very noisy and upsetting for the passengers.
	But apart from the dear old lady who decided to have a heart attack and the captain was whacked by a tree that came through the cockpit window.
	You can't blame the comet designers.
	You can't blame a tree coming through the window.
	The aircraft sliding along at 100 miles an hour collides with a tree.
	Of course it's going to come through the window.
	Everybody walked off the plane.
	And then the chairman of the airline said, this is due, everybody survived apart from two, due to the great strength of the comet.
	And then within about 24 hours, somebody, Buenos Aires, got hold of them and said, you say that again and you will be shot.
	It wasn't part of the official script.
	The third reason we know the comet was very, very strong and was made even stronger with the Comet 4 is that the Royal Air Force then turned them into Nimrods.
	The de Havilland Nimrod became a Hawkeye Sidley Nimrod, then a British Aerospace Nimrod.
	The Nimrod Maritime Patrol aircraft was the development of the Comet using the same fuselage.
	And it was so strong that they actually came up with a plan, quite a sensible plan, to put new engines in them but keep the existing fuselage.
	And they were going to reign in service until the 2030s.
	And that plan was only scrapped because the Cabinet Office didn't like it.
	So, you know, the Comet was a very strong aircraft.
	GO2, I've already mentioned, supplies blackmail material to the Cabinet Office and arranges the assassination of MPs.
	The last MP assassinated by GO2 was the very nice MP for South End, Sir David Amos.
	Not quite sure why the Cabinet Office whacked David Amos, but they decided to whack David Amos, so they arranged for a lone nutter, allegedly lone nutter, to go and stab him to death.
	The lone nutter...
	The lone nutter has not given a credible explanation as to why he had a bust-up with David Amos.
	He wasn't in his constituency, he'd never met him.
	He was, of course, given orders, go and whack David Amos.
	Previous MP assassinated was Joe Cox.
	The jerrys were losing the 2016 referendum campaign, so they came up with the right idea.
	Why don't we get some of our guys to whack...
	And it worked up to a point.
	The polls dropped about five points in a week, but most people weren't fooled.
	Joe Cox was murdered on the orders of G02, with the approval of the Cabinet Secretary, who was still Sir Jeremy Haywood, who was a murderous thug, no offence intended.
	So Joe Cox was murdered.
	I've lost the train.
	I don't understand.
	Why is this sabotage pertinent to the Nazis winning and losing the war?
	Oh, well, the Nazis lost the war.
	The point is that there was still a quasi-war with Germany.
	The point is the war didn't end.
	Right.
	So World War II ends officially in 1945.
	It's only major combat operations that end.
	German intelligence carries on, and because we don't shut down German intelligence, they carry on sabotaging aircraft, blowing up people, assassinating MPs, and so on.
	The Comets weren't the only program the Germans sabotaged.
	They sabotaged the engine on the HandyPage Herald prototype.
	They caused the BAC-111 to crash by sabotaging it.
	They did specification sabotage on the Trident.
	Basically, they took all the Trident intellectual property, gave it to Boeing, which then became the Boeing 727, and screwed de Havilland just up the road in Hatfield by cutting back on the specification of the airliner so that it would be unprofitable and unprofitable.
	and that was done by getting German assets on the board of BEA, who were the main initial customer, to specify an aircraft that was too small to be economic.
	BEA knew that the aircraft would be uneconomic when they ordered it, and after it entered into service said, "Oh, we need a larger aircraft,"So you can wreck an aircraft programme by screwing around with the specifications.
	The VC-10, that was sabotaged by having BOAC, the main operator of the VC-10, which is a wonderful, wonderful aeroplane, flew in them myself a couple of times.
	Indeed, I was once in the cockpit of one on an RAF flight down to Malta.
	They got BOAC to rubbish the aircraft, so nobody would buy it.
	Again, very straightforward.
	We're not the only ones that have been the victims of sabotage.
	The Americans lost an Apollo 1 capsule.
	The Germans murdered three astronauts.
	The German asset of Walter von Braun arranged for the design of the capsule to be such that they would use pure oxygen, which is insane, as opposed to air.
	Pure oxygen is flammable.
	The Germans played with the wiring and they burnt three astronauts to death in an attempt to scrap the Apollo program.
	Then the Germans sabotaged two space shuttles.
	I was involved in both space shuttle investigations, which is why I have still to this day the direct dial number of the head of security for NASA.
	Normally an English barrister wouldn't have that sort of telephone number.
	Normally an English barrister could not direct dial through to the head of security at NASA.
	George Bush Senior, scumbag, was a German asset, and he was involved in both the shuttle sabotage operations.
	Very unpleasant, very nasty.
	The Germans love murdering children.
	It's one of their classics.
	I mean, the Germans like murdering children for the psychological and shock effect.
	And they arranged for children to be upset in America by having a teacher put on the shuttle.
	So they arranged for Christopher McCaw, as a teacher, to go on the shuttle.
	Every school child in America knows about this nice cuddly teacher who's going on the space shuttle and the Germans know when she's put on the shuttle crew that they are going to murder her.
	It wasn't very nice.
	Nothing against the German people.
	There's no point telling me in question time I know Hans and he lives in Hamburg and he's a very nice man and I'm gay and I got shanked by a lovely German man called Osbert in Munich last week.
	Yes, of course there are nice Germans.
	The problem with the nice Germans is they're not in charge.
	Penetration, a case study.
	Sir Edward Bridges, absolute scumbag, given an MC in World War I, that it was a fake military cross.
	He was a German spy.
	He was nominated by his predecessor, Maurice Hankey, who was a paedophile and a German spy as well.
	He's the man who arranged for 20,000 British soldiers to be killed on the first day of the Somme Offensive by telling the Germans we were coming.
	Amazing!
	Absolutely amazing!
	We planned an offensive and the Germans only strengthened the bit of the line that we're going to attack.
	Why?
	Because somebody told them.
	Who told them?
	Morris Hankey, working for the Jerry's.
	In 1941, Bridges were Japan, of course, was allied to Germany.
	More importantly, Malaya had bauxite and rubber, which the Germans desperately needed.
	So the plan was to supply Germany bauxite out of Malaya.
	That was going to be shipped by submarine, trans-shipped in places like Argentina.
	Bridges lied to the Prime Minister.
	Winston Churchill and told them that Force said Prince of Wales and Repulse were at Singapore and had not sailed.
	PM is tired, goes to bed, so let's leave the decision until the morning.
	Difficult decision.
	We don't have enough information.
	Let's sleep on it.
	As Sir Edward Bridges knew full well, the ships had already sailed.
	What's more, they were sailing into a trap.
	Because as Bridges well knew, a German spy called Rear Admiral Palliser was in Singapore, and he arranged for a fake radio message to go to Admiral Phillips on board HMS Prince of Wales, directing the Prince of Wales and Repulse to Coantan on the east coast of Malaya, right into a trap.
	So Palazir sends a signal to the Admiral on board Prince of Wales, The Japanese are then told in Saigon by radio, by the way, boys, you're ready to get there.
	The Prince of Wales and the Repulse have changed course, and they're sailing towards Kuantan.
	In order to make sure the Germans, the Japanese, could sink the ships, the Japanese had a big problem.
	That was range.
	Their aircraft were based in Saigon.
	Their aircraft were based in what was then French Indochina.
	In order to get the range into their aircraft, the Japanese had to strip them of armour, soft-sealing fuel tanks.
	Basically, they weren't combat-capable aircraft.
	Had they faced a modern fighter like a Hurricane, they'd have been shot down in flames.
	Prince of Wales and Repulse were supposed to have an aircraft carrier escort the indomitable.
	So what does the Cabinet Secretary do?
	He gets hold of another German spy called Dudley Pound, who happens to be the First Sea Lord.
	Huge problems of penetration.
	The Germans are running the Royal Navy.
	Pound was gay.
	He's been blackmailed.
	he had been blackmailed for years.
	In fact, he'd only been baby.
	And he was made a German spy when Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister.
	So one German spy promotes another German spy.
	And pound So the aircraft carrier that's supposed to be off the coast of Alaya is run aground in Kingston.
	Deliberately run aground.
	It may surprise you to know, to learn, ladies and gentlemen, that Royal Navy ships have navigators and they have charts.
	And Kingston Harbour was known to be shallow.
	She was run aground on a known obstruction in a ship with a highly competent navigator.
	She was the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world.
	Of course, the navigator knew what he was doing.
	The captain was told to run her aground.
	Either he was gay, he was being compromised, or he was bought off, or he was promised promotion to rear admiral.
	Any number of ways in which you can compromise people.
	But he got orders from London.
	The carrier is to be run aground.
	The captain may not have known why at that stage Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbour or Malaya.
	The captain may not have known that he was helping to get Prince of Wales and Repulse sunk, but that's what happened.
	So that is the danger.
	Those are the problems of penetration.
	And there we see a photograph, a fine study of HMS Prince of Wales.
	Incidentally, the indomitable had sea hurricanes that were equipped with four British Spino 20mm cannon.
	Only a small number of fighters, but if those fighters had got amongst the Japanese, bear in mind they had no escort, because they were attacking in daylight, at long range, no fighter escort.
	The Hurricanes, many of whose pilots had flown in the Battle of Britain and in the Great Air Battles in the mid in 1941, seriously combat-trained pilots and seriously combat-capable aircraft with powerful cannon armament, the Japanese aircraft would have been blown out of the sky!
	I mean, basically over human tortures.
	The Jap aircraft were weak, they were lightly built, they had no armour to protect the pilot, and they had no self-sealing fuel tanks.
	One round, one Hispano round into a fuel tank, and that's the end of your Japanese bomber.
	So all this story that we've said for 80 years about the Japanese being brilliant aerodynamic engineers, and the Japanese aircraft being greatly superior, all absolute rubbish.
	You may have heard of a fighter called the Zero.
	Everybody heard of the Zero fighter?
	Designed by Howard Hughes.
	That's why Howard Hughes went to Lally after the war.
	He couldn't believe that somebody had been traitorous enough to hand his design to the Japs.
	But that's what they did.
	That's why the Zero was lightly built.
	It wasn't designed as a fighter.
	It was a sports aircraft that the Japanese converted into a fighter.
	But the design was by Howard Hughes, who, by the way, was a very brilliant aircraft designer.
	Once Howard Hughes learned the truth, he couldn't handle it.
	And the poor man descended essentially into madness.
	He was so nutty by the end, he'd probably started to believe in global warming.
	poor Jack.
	Now, one of the reasons why Of course, the head of the American Navy, Admiral Ernest King, I call him Von King, was a German spy.
	And I was intrigued in discussing with the next speaker, also called Michael, that he independently had come to the same conclusion.
	So, in his book, now I made a note of it here, which I can't read because it's in my writing.
	Ah, yes, no, I can read it.
	War Beneath the Waves.
	So Michael, who's following on from me, has published a book called War Beneath the Waves, which exposes Ernest King as a German spy.
	Ernest King arranged for the Japanese to murder a famous American aviatrix called Amelia Earhart.
	You may have heard of her.
	Amelia Earhart was shot down by a bunch of Mitsubishi Claudes, the A5M, predecessor to the Zero, off the aircraft carrier Akagi in the Marshall Islands.
	The aircraft, they survived.
	She and Fred Noonan, her navigator, survived and got out a Mayday message.
	The Royal Navy sent a cruiser to rescue them.
	The Americans sent an aircraft carrier to rescue them.
	And King made absolutely sure that the rescue effort was stopped.
	The Royal Navy were told, you can't find them.
	The Japanese were allowed to move them and the plane into Saipan in the Marianas Islands, and there Fred Noonan and...
	poor Emilia Earhart were executed.
	The execution of Nunan A Japanese guard, a Kempeitai guard, the Kempeitai with the Japanese Secret Service, Worcester and Thames Valley Police.
	The Kempeitai guard, Noonan, flew some poo.
	He was a bit pissed off.
	And they didn't have a toilet in his cell, so he was a bit annoyed with the conditions.
	And he flung some of his poo in the face of the guard.
	The guard was outraged and chopped his head off.
	Probably not a good idea to throw poo in the face of a Kempitai guard, because that's the sort of thing the Kempitai would do.
	They would chop your head off.
	They weren't particularly nice Japanese.
	There are lots of nice Japanese.
	Kempitai weren't so nice, as to say, worse than Thames Valley Police.
	Now, although I bet the Kempitai didn't serve lasagna as bad as the lasagna Thames Valley Police served me in 2012, I still have not forgiven the boys for that.
	They're going to have to be broken up, and they will be, I think, if I'm consulted by the new government, which I might be.
	My name has been put forward as Lord Chancellor.
	Oh, that would be fun, wouldn't it?
	Probably won't happen because the Jerry's won't like it and the Cabinet Office will have a heart attack.
	But my name has been put forward by none other than MI6.
	God bless them.
	That's because somebody wants somebody with a brain in the government.
	It's probably why it won't happen.
	I mean, it's such a radical idea, having a member of the cabinet of the brain.
	It's probably too radical an idea to happen.
	I've got an IQ of 187, not that I'm boasting.
	If I was going to boast, I'd talk about my willy size, wouldn't I?
	To put that in perspective, 187 is 27 points clear of Albert Einstein, which pleases me no end, because I'd sure hate to be as dumb as Einstein.
	That's a fairly big number.
	I mean, you know, it doesn't mean to say that I can play and execute a lovely cover drive.
	It doesn't mean to say I can cook.
	It doesn't mean to say I can paint.
	I can't paint, I can't sing, I can't cook.
	Okay, lots of things I can't do, but one of the things I can do is work out puzzles and spot German spies.
	intelligence we've just She's two.
	Sweet little thing.
	Two!
	But she's very, very bright.
	Her parents realised she was bright when she suddenly started putting TV.
	You know the alphabet blocks that you get when you're a baby.
	She'd suddenly start putting TV next to the TV and she'd put cat next to the cat.
	And they suddenly realised, oh no, our little girl is bright.
	She is bright.
	Her IQ is somewhere around 150.
	She's in the top 1%.
	Of the human race, which is not bad.
	I'm in the top 0.1%, not that I'm boasting.
	You've done very well to draw me out of my shell.
	But she's not potty trained.
	She's not potty trained.
	So she's got an IQ of 150, but she doesn't know how to use the potty.
	Well, that's very sweet.
	That makes the point.
	The mere fact that you have a very high IQ means you can do some things brilliantly well.
	You are a genius by definition.
	I am a genius, says he modestly.
	But it I can't sing, I can't paint, I can't dance.
	There's no point in inviting me to perform at a song and dance show.
	I can do neither.
	But I can think.
	And, of course, that's why I probably won't end up in the Cabinet, because the whole concept of a Cabinet Minister of the Brain, well, it's just something that's never been tried before.
	LAUGHTER And...
	Thank you.
	The Cabinet Office are not going to like it, because normally they've got smarter brains than the Cabinet.
	Being dumber than a member of the Cabinet would really frighten the Cabinet Office to death.
	So we therefore need a new Cabinet Secretary.
	Fortunately, that need has been anticipated.
	I have been asked to submit a name for a Cabinet Secretary, and I have submitted a name.
	A very nice retired Admiral with whom I worked on a little intelligence operation upsetting a bunch of bad guys called Al-Qaeda, who are even worse than Thames Valley Police.
	And he's potty trained.
	So I'm potty trained as well.
	It took me years, but I got there in the end.
	Though he is potty trained, he's very smart, he's very nice, and he'll do just the job as Cabinet Secretary.
	Now, before I give over to questions, I did say I'd hand over to questions at 22.4.
	I was struck reading Michael's book on unsolved mysteries of World War II.
	And somebody came up, a nice lady came up for Michael to sign her copy.
	And I thought, oh, that's interesting, unsolved mysteries.
	And I looked at the index and realised, oh, I've solved a couple of those.
	But in fairness, the book was published a few years ago, and Michael has yet to read Spy Hunter.
	A couple of mysteries of World War II that are in the book that I have solved.
	The first one is Mincemeat, Operation Mincemeat.
	Ian Fleming came up with a bright idea and a lovely, lovely barrister called Ewan Montague came up with a bright idea.
	Why don't we float a dead body off the coast of Spain with a fake bunch of invasion plans?
	The only problem, there was a tiny technical flaw in the plan.
	It was bollocks.
	Because the Germans had a spy as head of combined operations.
	He was a man called Louis Mountbatten, and he was a German spy, as was his father.
	Technically, his father was an Austrian spy, because he was an Austrian, but he actually worked for the Germans.
	So Mountbatten was on the scheme from the beginning, but Mountbatten was working for Cherry.
	So Mountbatten, of course, told the British Embassy in Dublin, who in turn told Admiral Canaris, fired Lisbon.
	So the Germans knew about the plot.
	But Hitler was never told.
	so the plot on the face of it succeeded because the Germans fell for it on the face of it but the head of German intelligence never fell for it although he did admire the the pocket litter there's a lovely movie called Operation Men's Meat which misses the misses the fact that They're showing all the details of the plan being given to a German spy and they pretend to the viewer that the Germans didn't know anything about it and were taken by surprise.
	There has been considerable controversy over the years about who the dead body was.
	For years it was thought to be a Welsh derelict called Martin.
	He was given a name, Major Martin.
	He was thought to be, sorry, Glyndour Michael, was the name of the Welsh derelict.
	He was even more derelict than the current head of the Welsh government, no offence intended.
	In fact, it wasn't.
	It was a sailor from the aircraft carrier Dasher.
	If you think about it...
	Much better to get a drowning victim, unfortunately, but fortunately for the intelligence boys, unfortunately for the Royal Navy.
	The Americans had supplied us with an escort carrier called HMS Dasher, but hadn't done the welding properly.
	Kaiser, I think, built the ship, said, hey, we've knocked this aircraft carrier together in 14 days.
	You limeys would have taken months to assemble the carrier.
	What they didn't tell us was, of course, they hadn't done the building properly.
	The fuel tanks leaked.
	The fuel was old-fashioned aviation fuel, and the carrier blew up, and 350 sailors died.
	I mean, it's actually classic.
	The Americans are complaining.
	He said, why are you limeys not putting our carriers into service?
	We're giving you these carriers for free under Lend-Lease, and you are taking months to refit them before you put them to sea.
	So that's because it runs safe.
	And that argument, the Americans say, no, no, of course they're safe.
	They're built in America.
	They're built by the Kaiser Corporation.
	Of course they're fine.
	You can take them to sea straight away.
	They're oven ready.
	Ready to go.
	No, they weren't.
	And when HMS Dasher blew up, that ended that argument.
	The Royal Navy were right all along.
	The ships were unsafe.
	They needed significant additional work to get them ready for sea.
	But that meant they had several hundred dead bodies, and one of those dead bodies, in fact, became the sailor.
	One of the clues is that Ewan Montague drove to Glasgow.
	Now what's the point of going to having a rendezvous with a submarine in Glasgow if you're dropping a body off the coast of Spain?
	You'd have rendezvoused in Plymouth.
	You'd have got the submarine to turn up at Falmouth off the southwest coast of Britain in Cornwall.
	They drove to Glasgow because the body was in Glasgow.
	The Royal Navy have half admitted it by...
	And finally, the other mystery that I've solved was that of a chap called Hess.
	Rudolf Hess, you may recall, was the deputy fuhrer.
	He was also Adolf Hitler's boyfriend, and he and Hitler had a good shank together in the prison in Munich, where they were both in prison in 1923, during the course of which Rudolf Hess wrote a book, of which you may have heard, called Mein Kampf.
	Hitler was just the ghost writer.
	If you think about it, ladies and gentlemen, Hitler was not a brilliant writer.
	I mean, if you think about it, writing a book was not really in Hitler's skill set.
	Speaking, he was good at.
	Writing, he was not so good at.
	Thinking, he was not so good at.
	Even though he was, in fact, an intelligence officer.
	Rudolf Hess writes Mein Kampf while they're in prison and they are sharing a room.
	And Hitler is bisexual, Hess is gay, and that's one of the reasons why Hess is so highly valued in the German hierarchy in the 1930s is because he's Adolf Hitler's ex-boyfriend.
	In 1941, Hess, who reports to Admiral Canaris, Flies to Britain in a Messerschmitt 110, specially prepared by the Messerschmitt Company, using the latest German radio techniques for navigation.
	He is actually due to meet the Cabinet Secretary, Edward Bridges, and his flight to Britain is coordinated with an assassination attempt on Winston Churchill and an assassination attempt on the King, both of which are spotted.
	Treaty, in inverted commas, prepared by the German Foreign Ministry.
	The history tells you this is, you know, the Deputy Fuhrer of Germany gets up one morning and says, I'm going to fly to Britain in the middle of World War II in a message bit 110, I ask you.
	The flight required careful planning, careful technical preparation of the flight, and it required an airfield.
	Unfortunately, Hess screws up.
	He misses one of the waypoints and has to backtrack and ends up running out of fuel.
	He was due to land at RAF Dungan, which was fitted with lights, where he could have landed safely at night.
	Eventually realises he's not going to be able to land and he bails out of the aircraft, which is something he didn't want to do because the ME-110 is actually a very difficult aircraft to bail out of.
	So Hess is working on plan B. He's captured.
	The assassination attempt on Churchill is spotted.
	The assassination attempt on the king is spotted.
	And the king survives.
	Churchill survives.
	The Luftwaffe, at the same time as Hess is flying his Messerschmitt 110 to England, the Luftwaffe...
	Obviously the Germans didn't have big aircraft, so their bombing raids were a bit small on the whole.
	But they nevertheless put 500 planes in the sky over London that night in an attempt to destroy Parliament.
	So the Germans are targeting Parliament.
	They wanted to blow up the House of Lords and the House of Commons, kill the King, kill Churchill, and Hess then rolls up with a peace treaty, and the British people are supposed to be sold this load of nonsense.
	You know, as an attempt to end the war between Britain and Germany.
	So that's what happened with Rudolf Hess.
	Now, how do I know there was an attempt to assassinate Winston Churchill?
	Because the man who warned Churchill later, many, many years later, became a friend of mine.
	At the moment, I am marginally to the right of centre, as you may have heard.
	But in my youth, I was to the left of centre.
	I stood for the Labour Party.
	One of my friends in the Labour Party was a lovely man called Michael Foote.
	He was, in fact, the leader of the Labour Party at the time.
	Michael was gay.
	And he was shagging Beaverbrook.
	He was also reporting to MI5.
	Think about it.
	He's a young man, World War II.
	There's conscription, but he isn't conscripted.
	He is living fairly openly in London, in Mayfair, in a flat paid for by Beaverbrook.
	Who was the proprietor of the Daily Express and a German spy.
	And Admiral Canaris and Rudolf Hess both wanted Beaverbrook to take over from Churchill as Prime Minister.
	Beaverbrook resigns from the government, undermining Churchill.
	So Beaverbrook does a Rishi Sunak in the weeks leading up to the Hess flight.
	Michael was reporting to MI5 on what Beaverbrook was up to.
	And Beaverbrook was privy to the assassination plan on Churchill, and it was Michael Foote who warned Winston Churchill.
	Incidentally, he also knew Winston Churchill's grandson, Winston Churchill, also called Winston Churchill.
	So that is the true story of the Hess flight.
	It's quite fascinating.
	The radio navigation aspects of it are very interesting.
	It's clear to see where Hess went wrong and clear to see why he arrived too late to make a safe landing and with not enough fuel.
	There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
	I hope I've not bored you too much.
	But we do have 12 minutes for questions as opposed to the original 20. Any questions?
	Have I said anything controversial?
	I was trying to avoid being controversial but I may have said something.
	Yeah, I've got a stitch from laughing so much.
	Thank you.
	Just to say that when Hess was captured, according, I mean, I don't know this personally, but Latina House is very near here.
	Correct.
	And that's where he was?
	Correct.
	Yes, oh good, so it is true.
	Exactly, yeah.
	Okay, and apparently it was a prisoner of war, and they had all the German prisoners of war were there, and they had a Jewish-German Not
	so sure about the million pounds, but yes, he was detained at Latimer House.
	Hess was put in charge of a German spy called Frank Foley, who was in MI6.
	So another great security idea.
	We've got the Deputy Fuhrer.
	Let's put a German spy in charge of his interrogation.
	But the most interesting thing that I found is that when the De Vere group took over, the hotel group, apparently they had to sign something to say that there was tunnels underneath and they were not allowed to deal with those tunnels.
	until 19, sorry, until 2030.
	Very possible.
	I mean, Latimer House was a key MI5.
	It would be very interesting what they saw.
	It was a key MI5 interrogation.
	Do you have any intelligence insight on the Madeleine McCann case?
	I do, yes.
	I've worked on the Madeleine McCann case.
	Madeleine McCann was a three-year-old.
	She was about to turn four, but she was a three-year-old toddler who was photographed at Sagras Beach in Portugal by a local spotter working for a DVD paedophile ring.
	Her photograph, along with two others, was supplied to a member of the European Commission in Brussels who had specified five-year-old blonde girls.
	That was his sexual interest.
	The German intent was to kidnap her.
	And take her to Brussels, where she would be abused.
	She was then going to be sent to a German snuff movie facility run by the DVD near Toledo in Spain, where she was to be murdered in a snuff movie, and then the commissioner was going to get a copy of the DVD with the snuff movie.
	Not very pleasant, not very nice.
	Sorry if that upsets people, but I'm afraid the world is not always a very nice place.
	MI6 sent the head of station down to Portugal.
	Within hours of the kidnap, MI6 realised what was going on.
	And the head of station in Lisbon went down and found out all about the spotter, found out about the paedophile ring.
	She was taken out by sea.
	He worked all that out.
	And he worked out the connection with the European Commission because GCHQ and the NSA had intercepted the email which was sent.
	The photograph was taken on a BlackBerry, one of the new BlackBerrys that had a camera.
	And the photographs were emailed from this BlackBerry to the Commissioner's private account in Brussels, and it went first to the paedophile ring account, and then there was a further email.
	All these emails were picked up by the NSA at Menwith Hill, and MI6 then picked up the intercepts from GCHQ.
	They didn't get them from the Americans, they got them from GCHQ.
	MI6 then got into a total panic, as did the Cabinet Office, and MI6 were hauled off.
	That's where Michael came in.
	I got the usual call over that weekend.
	She's kidnapped on the Thursday.
	MI6, work out what's happening by Friday night.
	Sunday I get the phone call saying, Michael, can you step in?
	Absolutely.
	One of the reasons why I was asked to step in is because I was almost the only civilian in Britain at that point outside the intelligence.
	Agencies who could pick up the phone and talk to the director of the American National Security Agency and say, boys, what have we got?
	So I ring the NSA, said, boys, I need the overheads.
	We need ship movements, air movements.
	I don't think she's gone out by land.
	I think it's air or sea.
	They said there are no suspicious air movements, but we do have the following suspicious sea movements.
	"Thank you boys." And then I get the name of the ships, and then I get the name of the boats, the ship onto which she's transferred, which had been refitted in Gibraltar, an old fishing boat, and that had an anechoic chamber for basically kidnapping kitties.
	So it was a ship that had been refitted, specifically designed for the task of kidnapping kitties.
	So if there was blood found behind the sofa, etc., She was murdered by injection in a German safe house near Brussels in December 2008.
	So the family were absolutely not involved.
	I know there were cadaver dogs, but the cadaver dog only tells you there's a body.
	It doesn't tell you which body.
	I mean, your cadaver dog will wag its little tail, look as happy as Larry.
	It'll wag its little tail if it picks up a sniff of a body.
	But it can't tell the difference between a dead prime minister and a dead toddler.
	All it's picking up is a cadaver smell.
	So the cadaver dogs were just, you know, they'd obviously, somebody got a dead body and...
	So if there's blood, it might have been from some previous incident, but Madeleine was not injured in the kidnap.
	She was perfectly safe, unharmed, until she was murdered.
	She was never sexually abused, because once I got in, once MI6 and myself, you know, once I got going...
	The whole search of Madeleine McCann was conducted at a level that the media just had no idea.
	She was shipped by submarine.
	The DVD have a fleet, then four reworked, refitted Type 21 U-boats.
	And she was taken across the Atlantic in a U-boat.
	She ended up in Argentina.
	And then they transferred her to Chile, which was a mistake because they'd forgotten that Michael...
	And it so happened that the Chilean military attaché in London, Hugo, was the pilot of the plane that took General Pinochet back to Chile.
	And I knew details about the flight that could only have come from someone who was intimately involved in the return of General Pinochet to Chile, as I was.
	So were the parents deceptive?
	Because Peter Hyatt, the FBI analyst, statement analyst, said that they were definitely deceptive.
	No, no.
	Ah, ah, ah, ah.
	Now this is where confusion has arisen.
	They were deceptive about the plans for the childminding.
	That's because this group were not at a tapas bar.
	I know what they were doing.
	I'm not going to say what they were doing, but yes, there was deception involved, but the deception as to what the childcare arrangements were.
	But as I said in my book, it really doesn't matter.
	We're dealing with a DVD.
	The paedophile ring were armed with silenced pistols, probably Makarovs.
	So even if both parents had been in the room, they'd probably just have been shot.
	Oh, the DVD, don't mess around.
	Did the parents know what was going on then?
	No, absolutely no idea.
	And I tried to brief them, but the police briefed against me.
	In fact, they dragged me.
	Even though you got involved, you were unable to save her.
	I got involved.
	I was unable to save it.
	Yes, I was very upset about that, and I'm still upset.
	But I was blocked.
	I couldn't get any military assets to work with the British police because the police would not make the request because the police reported to the Cabinet Office.
	So the Cabinet Office blocked me at every turn.
	We could have rounded a rescue mission, but every attempt to mount a rescue mission was aborted.
	At one point, I'd asked the Royal Navy.
	We'd located her to the boat.
	We tracked down to Morocco with the use of satellites.
	I'd arranged with Lockheed Martin, who I knew well the skunk works, we hauled a Gulfstream 3 aircraft that was used for tracking Trident missile bits and had an air-to-surface radar, which most civilian aircraft normally don't, and I'd arranged with Lockheed that we were going to fly this into Beirut on a...
	He needed to be medevaced into, inverted commas, into Rome.
	And the aircraft was going to overfly the boat in Morocco and then verify the coordinates which we were going to get to Lockheed from the National Security Agency at Fort Meade.
	All very straightforward.
	The Portuguese police said there was no evidence, Michael, of a break-in.
	And also, how did they get the cadaver sent in?
	Well, the break-in was straightforward.
	There clearly was a break-in.
	The Portuguese police were in on the kidnap from the very beginning, so I wouldn't trust anything the Portuguese police said.
	The Portuguese police report to the Portuguese government.
	But why her?
	Well, she was about to turn four, and she met the specifications of the paedophile on the commission.
	So you've got a paedophile on the commission.
	He wants to interfere with and see murdered on screen five-year-old blonde girl.
	So he's basically a sick puppy.
	Well, he's a European commissioner.
	Why was the family's court case worker found dead?
	Sorry, what?
	The family's court case worker was found dead.
	Why was that?
	That I don't know, actually.
	I didn't know the Family Court case.
	I actually turned up to the Family Court proceedings.
	This is the McCann case.
	Yeah, the McCann paid a court worker and then a few weeks after they paid him, he was found there.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	I actually turned up to the hearing because I wanted to speak to the McCann's lawyers, which I did.
	We've got a couple of minutes.
	Last question.
	No, I just want to say, I wanted you to talk a little bit about Churchill and his role in, you know, in sort of allowing Hitler to do what he did.
	And at what point did things switch around and did Hitler, I mean, did Churchill...
	Well, Churchill was one of the good guys.
	I mean, Churchill...
	Churchill was opposed to appeasement.
	He's very strongly opposed to appeasement.
	Of course, he was out of government until 1939.
	No, definitely not.
	Hitler was installed by Ludendorff.
	Hitler was installed by German intelligence.
	Adolf Hitler was a German intelligence officer installed as Führer of Germany by German intelligence.
	The problem of the plan, as I explained earlier, was that the Nazis got A, an independent intelligence service, the SS, and B, got access to the Austrian Gold Reserves, thanks to Anschluss.
	So they became financially independent and had their own intelligence service.
	So they became much more powerful than German intelligence had ever intended.
	Adolf Hitler was always intended to be a puppet, but he ended up as not being a puppet.
	Which was a disaster for Germany because the bloke didn't have much idea of what he was doing and invaded the Soviet Union, which was not a cunning plan.
	You'll tell me if I'm running over time.
	Where are we?
	Four o 'clock, yes.
	I keep your close eye on time.
	You've got Michael Fitzgerald who's coming up afterwards, yeah.
	Shall we take this gentleman here as the last question?
	What would you say is the percentage of black hats versus white hats in, say, MI5 or MI6?
	Ah!
	Probably about 90% white hats, 10% black hats, but the problem is the black hats tend to be found near the top.
	In the US, oh, I would think 75% white hats, 25% black hats, except the FBI was about 50-50 probably.
	I mean, the FBI was just full of black hats.
	Well, one more question.
	That was a quick question.
	Do you believe, I strongly suspect, that Angela Merkel could be Hitler's daughter?
	Do you have any information about that?
	No, she's not nice enough.
	That's a straightforward answer.
	She's not nice enough.
	Yeah.
	I've got a mutual friend, she's in spirit now, of Hitler's.
	She knew Hitler when he was a young man.
	She said he was very charismatic, everyone loved him, and he would buy the children ice cream.
	Did you write this?
	And shake them up?
	I don't know about that.
	Well, yes, I...
	He was charismatic.
	I know several people who've met Adolf Hitler.
	My old friends from Alex Douglas Hume met him at the Munich Conference.
	In private, he was actually quite well disposed towards children and dogs.
	He wasn't...
	It's just not an accurate reflection of the man.
	Now, he did monstrous things, but then so did the European Commission.
	You know, people do monstrous things without being a monster.
	Theresa May was a bit monstrous at times, but she did make her a monster.
	David Cameron was definitely a monster, but definitely monstrous.
	Did monstrous things, but wasn't a monster.
	He was certainly...
	In private, he could be quite charming.
	He certainly did get on well with children, and he got on well with dogs.
	But, of course, you have to qualify that, because the children would not be Jewish children.
	But then there's a serious historical question.
	To what extent did Hitler sanction or authorize the Holocaust?
	He was not at the 1C Conference.
	The Holocaust was actually Canaris'idea and it's linked into oil and deals with the Muslim leadership, in particular the Grand Mufti.
	So that was linked into Muslim desire to not have Israel, to boot Israel.
	The Muslim nations controlled oil.
	The Germans needed oil.
	So the Holocaust was as much about oil as it was about anti-Semitism.
	And there is a serious question mark as to how much Hitler knew.
	He certainly wasn't at the WANSI conference and there's no recorded incident of him ever attending or visiting a concentration camp.
	They were run by German intelligence, not by the Nazis.
	They may put Nazis in charge, but the directions came from Canaris and the Abwehr.
	Indeed, there is some evidence that Hitler favoured expelling Jews rather than exterminating them.
	It's very convenient for the Germans to be able to blame everything on Hitler.
	That's excellent.
	So in 1954, they blew up a comet that they knew was mainly carrying school children home for their holidays.
	So they deliberately selected a flight they knew had a lot of kids on board.
	Pretty evil.
	I'm not sure even Adolf Hitler would have sanctioned that particular operation.
	And that was nine years after the end of World War II and three years after the death of Adolf Hitler.
	So the most evil people in Germany weren't the Nazis.
	The evil people were the people who were brighter than the Nazis, who installed the Nazis, tried to control them, and failed, and then carried on waging a quasi-war against the West after 1945.
