WACL Redux: The Rise and Fall of Far West Ltd



Over on The Farm podcast, I've recently concluded an epic series concerning the enigmatic private military company commonly known as Far West Ltd. What's more, this endeavor was a continuation of The Farm's storied World Anti-Communist League (WACL) series, which in turn grew out of the original series of WACL articles I wrote during the prior decade. Links to those works can be found here

In this most recent incarnation we consider the evolution of the old WACL network from the end of the Cold War up to current day events. And trust me folks, it's simply incredible how relevant WACL's legacy is in 2023. When Keith Allen Dennis, "Don Diligent," and the rest of the original WACL crew began the podcast series, we saw it as a largely historical undertaking. But as the show we did on Abe's assassination in the summer of 2022 revealed, the old WACL network is still around, still a player, but with a new generation of leaders and institutions that have carried on the work of the OGs.

At the forefront of this revival is another subject as relevant now as ever: private military and intelligence companies. One of the contentions made throughout this series is that modern day PMCs and PICs have effectively taken up the role of WACL and like bodies in the twenty-first century. Whereas during the Cold War, WACL served as a middle ground between Western elites from the Conservative Establishment and the Neo-liberal Order alike to plot with a motley crew of international drug and arms traffickers; aging Nazi war criminals and next generation Black terrorists; and religious fanatics and cultists of all stripes. It was an incredible milieu, both sides of which largely still exiting. But increasingly, PMCs and PICs are where they're doing business, on any number of levels, now.


At the center of it all was Far West. It was an allegedly Russian-controlled PMC. But it was so much more than that. Indeed, it may be the driving force behind the present war in Ukraine and how Joe Biden ended up in the White House. I truly wish I was exaggerating with that claim. But Far West was at the heart of various intrigues from the late 1990s onwards that shaped the world we currently live in: the Great Ruble Scandal; the Moscow Apartment bombings9/11; Project Hammer; its shocking links to the smuggling of nuclear and biological weapons; and its role in Ukraine's Orange Revolution and the 2008 Russo-Georgia War; and even the Boston Marathon bombing and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi

Needless to say, this was an incredible undertaking and I could not have done it without the invaluable contributions of "Senate" and the great Edmund Berger. Senate is who inspired this series while Ed proved much needed information linking these events and players together. And I like to think the spirit of Ed Coffman, alias Don Diligent, the star of the original WACL podcast series, contributed to the proceedings as well. Regardless, each and everyone of these shows is dedicated to him and his memory. I hope that they have done him justice.

And without further ado, here is the series:

  1. Welcome back to the blog Recluse! That's an impressive data dump, but as I was browsing some tag-words of these podcasts I noticed no mentioning of the SOSJ and Opus Dei connections that has been so prevalent in your other research. I'm not sure how you can mention WACL and leave that part out. I hope your next audio podcast is able to integrate the following premises:

    "The significant presence of Paneuropa-affiliated Opus Dei members and Knights of Malta (SMOM), together with statements of the Vatican and Otto von Habsburg, clearly indicate that there has been an agenda in the background to some day bring about a new Holy Roman Empire, its borders stretching from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and from the Baltic Sea to North Africa."

    "In 1949, the year after the Communist take over Czechoslovakia, Alfredo Sanchez Bella co-founded with Archduke Otto von Habsburg the Centre Européen de Documentation et d'Information (CEDI), whose objective was to construct around the Spanish Bourbons a federation of European states united in Christianity and anti-Communism. This sounded very much like a modern resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire over which Charles V had reigned."

    Serving as Vice-President of the PEU under Coudenhove Kalergi was Archduke Otto von Habsburg, born in 1912 as eldest son of Karl, the last Austro Hungarian Emperor, and heir to his throne as well as Opus Dei's candidate as monarch to rule over a united Catholic Europe. Otto von Habsburg was also claimant to the title "King of Jerusalem".

    Interesting that Habsburg and the Bourbons (King Felipe VI) are both members of the "Order of the Garter" and claimants to the title "King of Jerusalem". Felipe's father Juan Carlos is the great-grandson of Alphonzo XII King of Spain (1857 – 1885), whose suspected real father was Enrique Puigmoltó y Mayans (1827 – 1900), may possibly have been a descendant of Sabbetai Zevi. Like his grandfather, and great-grandfather before him, Juan Carlos was a member of the Order of the Garter which is an elite group within the Order of St. John of Jerusalem (SOSJ).

    The SOSJ is linked to the German Freikorps, Thule, 'Fremde Heere Ost' (FHO), Gehlen Org, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera (OUN-B), the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, WACL and Gladio.

    Now tell me that the imminent collapse of Europe and the Ukraine has nothing to do with the potential rise of a "Holy Roman Empire with its borders stretching from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and from the Baltic Sea to North Africa".

    1. Quote from your article (4-30-'16): "Le Cercle seems to have been under the domination of Catholic cults and orders of knighthood such as Opus Dei and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) for much of its existence. While these groups shared some of the objectives of the Bilderbergers, such as a United Europe, they ultimately seemed to have been pursuing a kind of new Holy Roman Empire."

      “In establishing the Kabbalistic Order of the Rose-Croix (OKR+C), Papus and his cohorts dreamed of uniting occultists into a revived Rosicrucian brotherhood, as an international occult order, in which they hoped the Russian Empire would play a leading role as the bridge between East and West.” - Livingstone Transhumanism
