Author: Marie-Soleil Seshat Landry, CEO & Spymaster, Landry Industries ORCID iD: 0009-0008-5027-3337

1. Executive Summary & Key Judgments

The defeat of Germany in 1945 did not result in the destruction of the Nazi industrial-intelligence complex. Instead, via Operation Paperclip, the leadership of Yale's Skull and Bones (The Order) facilitated a merger. This created a hybrid "Fourth Reich" infrastructure within the US National Security State.

2. The Mechanics of the Merger

• Scientific Absorption: Wernher von Braun (SS Officer) became the face of NASA. Kurt Debus (SS) became Director of the Kennedy Space Center. [Source 1.1]
• Intelligence Continuity: The Gehlen Organization, funded by the US Army and later the CIA, kept the Nazi Eastern Front intelligence network alive. [Source 2.1]
• Financial Continuity: The profits from the Bush-Harriman-Thyssen nexus were never fully liquidated; they were reinvested into the emerging MIC. [Source 5.1]

3. Financial Intelligence: The Industrial Loop

Entity	Nazi Origin / Connection	US Integration
