Tarot in GR (is Re: grgr (34): "the tower" (747)

[Dave Monroe]

Sorry, should have written, like them Nazi rocket scientists/military
men/bureaucrats/A4 commanders, eh?  Walter Dornberger (Bell Aircraft
Corporation), for starters (Weisenberger even mentions this is his annotation to
"Weissman'n's Tarot," as I recall) ... but the point I (at least) am making is
that one might (depite valiant, albeit unconvincing attempts to the
contrary--sorry, no save) indeed, as GR advises, "Look high, not low," "among the
successful academics, the Presidential advisers, the token intellectuals who sit
on boards of directors," for "the fair" (e.g., Weissmann, "white man")
"intellectual-king," "He is almost surely there," Walter Dornberger, Wernher von
Braun, "people of like vision" mit SS Schutzhaftlingsfuhrer Blicero, all those
ex-Nazi scientists, bureaucrats, whatever, assimilated into the American
military-industrial (for starters) complex, not to mention the most complex of
'em all, NASA, the Apollo program, under Operations Overcast and Paperclip.
Again, see Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, Whiteout, and John Gimbel,
Science, Technology and Reparations; C & St. C also recommend Tom Bower, The
Paperclip Conspiracy and Linda Hunt, Secret Agenda, which I'm guessing might be
even more to the point, but I've not gotten 'round to 'em yet, so ...
