Michael Novakhov:
The Signs (The Diagnostic Triad) of the New Abwehr Operations include, in my opinion, the individual, group, and institutional conceptualizations, thinking, feelings, experiences, fantasies, and various defense mechanisms which are historically centered around the three main issues: 1. Jews, Jewishness, and Judeophobia, 2. Homosexuality, homoeroticism, and homophobia, and 3. Anti-Austrian sentiment or Austria-Phobia.
1. Judeophobia with the psychologically complex (e.g. self-hatred), mixed German-Jewish identity and background, as in upper echelons of Abwehr.
The Abwehr officers of mixed background felt the heightened sense of German patriotism and considered themselves “Super Germans”.
The Jews that they robbed and sent to the camps were “the BAD (anti-German or not German enough) Jews, but they themselves and the Jews whom they sent abroad en masse as their agents, to spy for Germany, were “the GOOD Jews”.
According to the tale, Canaris was led to his execution naked, as the demonstration and the “definitive proof” that he was circumcised, and therefore a Jew, which was presented as the root of his treachery.
In fact, it is much more likely, that being the master escape artist that he was, he staged his own execution and happily escaped, especially considering a little help from his friend Allan Dulles (“dull est”).
This is a separate story which became a source of artistic imagination.
This photo, aiming to present Canaris and Heidrich as just “close military comrades”, to counteract the rumors about their love relationship, does just the opposite: it confirms these rumors, in the historical perspectives. Both of them likely were Jews and Gays, something to deal with in their positions in the Nazi Germany.
3. The key, “pathognomonic” sign of Austria Phobia, the cognitive bias prevalent in Abwehr officers, the historical legacy of the German – Austrian wars and rivalry of XIX century, e.g. the derision and hatred of Hitler after the WWII.

Anti-Austrian sentiment – W: “Anti-Austrian sentiment (also known as Austrophobia) refers to hostile sentiment toward the nation of Austria and/or its people.”

“Asked whether it was not true that Canaris was in fact his agent, Dulles replied: ‘That is going a little far.’
But Dulles said, ‘I had working with me several of the men in Canaris’ organization and I was in direct touch with Canaris, especially with General Oster, who was chief of staff and in charge of his intelligence.’
‘About 10 percent of the Abwehr became anti-Nazi,’ Dulles said. ‘They became disgusted with Hitler’s tactics and they opposed Hitler’s activities against the Russians and his treatment of the Russians and, as a result, it was possible to penetrate the Abwehr.’
Dulles told the committee the top five officials of the German intelligence agency, including Canaris and Oster, ‘were all executed as traitors.’
‘There was a good reason for that?’ a congressman asked.
‘Yes, they were traitors in the German sense. There is no doubt. Two of the men worked with me,’ Dulles replied.”
”They were traitors in the German sense …” Ten percent of the Abwehr were anti-Nazi because ”they became disgusted with Hitler’s tactics.”
M.N.: I think, in fact, they were each other’s double agents.
The “bad Jew Weiner” in the New Abwehr’s crosshairs
How to recognize the political intelligence operation in the “Operation Trump”? By the “smell test” and the careful historical – psychological analysis of its stylistic features and the specific content concepts which reflect the memories, obsessions, recriminations, repetition compulsion, undoing, etc., etc. of the Intelligence officers who plan, design, and execute them.
Planning and creating an intelligence operation is highly intellectual and emotionally charged, intuitive, artistic, and creative process which reflects the situation, the tasks, and the personalities of its creators, and thus opens the windows into their souls and into meanings and impacts of their creations. Both of these aspects: the creator and the creation, can and should be analyzed to achieve the most likely understanding and to generate the working hypotheses.
How to recognize the Intelligence Operation in progress in general? Tough question and the main preoccupation of the Counterintelligence Services. My answer (as a note to myself) is: You know it when you smell it, and see it you cannot, yet. In other words, it is mostly intuitive and avoids detection with reason and senses. In fact, the Intelligence Operations are designed to deceive the reason, logic, and senses; they call it a “cover“.
In the symbolic conceptual thinking of the “Operation Trump” planners, Anthony Weiner is a “bad Jew”.
As his last name suggests, he possibly comes from Vienna – Wien, just like Hitler, and is more of a whiner than he is a winner, also like Hitler. He is in the habit of showing off his long wiener to the innocent little girls (definitely a “pervert”; bad, bad, bad Jewish boy!), and he has to be punished for his immodesty!
German antisemitism portrayed Jews as the oversexed creatures with large penises, preoccupied with sexually attacking the “clean” German women, which can lead to the dangerous blood mixing, miscegenation, and to the eventual degeneration and the disappearance of the Great German Nation.
This is in contrast with the Russian antisemitism, which presents the Jews as the powerless (“reaction formation“) disgusting creatures, emphasizing the social dangers of the Jews, rather than the sexual – genetic ones.
In contrast, the trumpist Erik Prince is presented in the media as the “clean”, attractive, successful ethnic German, among the many others; and the Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner is presented as a “Good Jew” and a “good Jewish son”, whatever it means; although he comes from the family which robbed blind both the Jews and Poles alike during the WWII and transferred the trainloads of goodies to America. That’s how they made their “seed fortune” and were appointed the New Abwehr money managers. And this is at the roots of their merger with the Trump family, the real estate managers for the Abwehr and the New Abwehr and the hereditary fascists.
The concept of the New Abwehr, after the WWII, includes the three main components, as I see it now. This still remains the open question but most likely it includes:
- the remnants of the old, original Abwehr of Canaris, including the Gehlen organization, and later the BND and other related services,
- the KGB and all its past and future reincarnations,
- and the East German STASI, which joined them later but probably made the very significant contributions.
