Aw, jeez, Bubba!
The guy was a fantasist. Ask yourself... GOP in the White House. GOP run committees investigating communism and conspiracies everywhere... 1953.... WHY DIDN'T THIS INFORMATION SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY IN 1953?
This was canned conspiracy drek that Dodd was selling to anyone who'd listen to him. He rehearsed it and fine-tuned it. Look at the full text and the claim that they were taking orders from The White House. Really?
A global evil conspiracy hears that "the famous" (as in just about unknown) Norman Dodd is going to be heading the investigatory wing of Reece's committee. So, do they pack their bags and light out for Tegucigalpa? Do they quake in their expensive Fifth Avenue boots? Why, no. They invite the intrepid investigator over, and lay out their evil plot like in any cheap B movie. And who was that who told him all this.... Why, Gaither... the author of the Gaither Report suggesting to Ike (the president who must've been winking and saying "It's okay to take over the world, Rowland") that the US needed to ramp up its defenses and ability to deal with nuclear attack by the Rooskis! Shouldn't a globalist be selling the POTUS on not doing that?
So now we've got Ike in on it. And I guess that means Ike's farewell warning about the military-industrial complex taking over the country was just a red herring to keep George Noory off the scent. Oh, and to make sure a black president finally passed some variation on "national health" fifty years later.
He's anti-fed, anti-globalization, and pro-Dodd. He held a minor vice presidency in a bank in '29. Then again, anyone with an education was a bank or brokerage veep in '29. Many of those took to practicing their gainer-one-and-a-half off of skyscraper ledges, and many were simply laid off, but not our intrepid hero. No, he was given a do-nothing job and implicitly told to not reveal his startling solution to the financial crisis.... "We've got to get back to sound banking..." Gasp!! No! Not sound banking!
Oh, an he also figured out that it wasn't the geo-politics of the late 19th century and the struggle for hegemony over central Europe that caused WWI. No, it was THE CARNEGIE & GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION. He was ahead of his time, obviously. The rest of us didn't learn of this before NEVER!!!!
Check out his testimony six years earlier to the Illinois State House. Same whacky crap. He just fine-tuned it by the time of this "interview". And like in this interview you can see that he had a state congress critter feeding him his leading questions.
