Chapter 94
.
Will was suprised, and admittedly intrigued, by what senator Chiles was saying. Ofcourse he had been bured by the SBA before, particularly Hank Jones. He was hesitant to trust an opportunist like Chiles.
.
Will: Your friend, Hank Jones, came to me with an "important" story. But I couldn't find verification. And whether you choose to stay in or leave the SBA isn't really my concern.
Chiles: It will be, when you hear the story I have to say.
Will; I hope you have some proof of whatever story you're about to say.
Chiles: Does the name Rudolf Hess mean anything to you?
Will: He was a nazi, specifically he was Hitler's second-in-command. In 1941 Hess flew into England to try and negotiate a treaty with Churchill, which Churchill rejected. Hess remained a P.O.W. until the end of the war when he was tried at Nuremberg. He was convicted of planning invasions, sentanced to life imprisonment in Spandau. After 1966 Hess was the only prisoner remaining in Spandau, and remained it's sole prisoner until 1987, when he hung himself.
Chiles: What if I were to tell you that the man in Spandau was not actually Rudolf Hess. He was a security double that the party used for certain high ranking officials.
Will: I've heard that theory, doesn't hold water.
Chiles: Hess was an ace pilot, the man who flew into England in 1941 was by all accounts an amateur.
Will: German propoganda said he had gone insane. As much as the nazies were used to lying, in this case they didn't need to. Whoever this guy was he flew into England alone, wearing a full Luffwaffe officer's uniform. Blitzcreig had been going on for over a year, frankly it's blind dumb luck he was even found by someone who was willing to take him alive.
Chiles: That was part of the plan. They expected that this double, Alfred Horn, would be torn apart, and noone would question where Rudolf Hess was. In 1972 a doctor examined Horn. The doctor had never met Hess personally but was familiar with his medical profile. He therefore expected to see a scar from a wound Hess recieved in the first world war. There was no scar.
Will: Maybe the doctor made a mistake about whether this scar could have healed over 50 years later. When Horn died his DNA was examined, it proved that he was either Hess, or a close blood relative.
Chiles: A cousin, specifically. It's a common enough trick to use security doubles, if they are closely related it often makes a physical resemblance greater, more likely to fool potential assasins.
Will: This is a fascinating story, but I don't understand what, if anything, it has to do with your involvement in the SBA.
Chiles: I'm getting to that. Rudolf Hess truley believed in Hitler's racist idealogy, but he knew Hitler was irrational. He attacked England, when he should have been allied with England against the Soviet Union. Hess was part of a faction that anticipated defeat, and what to do if defeat became likely. That is why Hess ordered Horn to go to England, so that he and his followers could escape. Hess fled to America, lived under an assumed name for the rest of his life, directing this operation. Others were brought over, frozen in cryogenic stasis, awaiting the day when they could awaken, and bring the Fourth Reich to America. Over time, some were woken up, although ofcourse they had to recruit other, like-minded people. The Ku Klux Klan was a good source of recruitment, as well as various white racists who were willing to dedicate their lives to a pure white America.
Will: You mind telling me how exactly you know all of this.
Chiles: Because I was a member, still am actually. I was in the Hitler Youth, joined the army, and believed in the Final Solution as much as anyone. I was woken 30 years ago, given orientation, a new identity. After the rapture, the revelation of the existence of alien refugees, we decided to take advantage of it. The final sleepers were awoken, and we became mainstream. Most minor SBA leaders have no idea of our secret origins, our leaders do. Patricia Turner, Hank Jones.
Will: And John Smith?
Chiles: You've perhaps heard the rumors of his many infidelities?
Will: Everyone has. So if they're blackmailing him over adultery, seems like a waste of time.
Chiles; At least one of his dalliances resulted in a child, his great granddaughter is being held as a hostage to force him to comply. If he is elected president, he will institute the very policies that we nazies have long fought for. He'll start with the aliens, or those suspected of being aliens. But I promise it will not stop there. Jews will probably be next, they have after all always been a popular scapegoat. But the arabs, muslims, blacks, hispanics, homosexuals, they will all be wiped out. You have to let the world know the truth.
Will; I will investigate, like a true journalist. If I find enough proof, the people will know.
Chiles: Yes, that will give it more credibility. Reporting on the truth, and only the truth, it was a foreign concept to me once.
Will: If all of this is true, why are you turning on your fellow nazies now?
Chiles: I have lived in America for over 30 years, I have come to enjoy it. And I no longer believe in their views on race relations, cannot be a part of it any longer. If that is to cost me my life, so be it.
