    SSPX Bishop Fellay's Lawyer/Business Partner is Fundraiser for Racial Supremacist State
    https://web.archive.org/web/20220516105502/https://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2010/11/bishop-fellays-lawyerbusiness-partner.html
    This bit of information comes from an investigative work anonymously posted in a few places on the internet (and immediately censored from at least one of them [archived copies of http://angelqueen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34918 also disappeared!]). I copy the entire work below with the following caveats: I don't see that the author has proven his charge that Mr. Krah is of Judaic ancestry, as likely as it seems. It would be quite "traditional," after all for such a champion of 15th-century aristocrat Catholicism; such a temporally ambitious man as Bp. Bernard Fellay to have a "Court 'Jєω'." Regardless of what his actual ethnic identity may be, it's clear Maximilian Krah fulfills that role for Bp. Fellay. Mr. Krah's docuмented Zionist fundraising is highly problematic for anyone that claims to oppose racial supremacy.

    Maximilian Krah and Menzingen: A Cause for Serious Concern?


    The Timeline -

    January 2009
    A Corporate Attorney by the name of Maximilian Krah became publicly linked with the affairs of the Society of Saint Pius X.

    January 20, 2009
    Fr. Franz Schmidberger, Superior of SSPX in Germany, issued a press release in which it was stated: “We have not seen the interview given by Bishop Williamson to Swedish television. As soon as we see it we will submit it to scrutiny and obtain the advice of attorneys.”

    But, in fact, the attorney to whom Menzingen would turn had already been put into place.

    It was none other than Maximilian Krah of the Dresden Corporate Law company, Fetsch Rechtsanwälte: the partners being Cornelius J. Fetsch, Maximilian Krah and Daniel Adler.

    January 19, 2009
    One day before Fr. Schmidberger’s press release, Maximilian Krah was appointed as delegate to the Board, and manager, of the company Dello Sarto AG. The Chairman of the company is Bishop Bernard Fellay and the Board Members are First Assistant, Fr. Niklaus Pfluger, and the SSPX Bursar General, Fr. Emeric Baudot.

    The purpose of the company is stated as being (Google translation):
    “Advice on asset management issues and the care and management of assets of domestic and foreign individuals, corporations, foundations and other bodies, in particular of natural or legal persons which the Catholic moral, religious and moral teaching in its traditional sense of obligation and see, and the execution of projects for the mentioned persons, as well as advising on the implementation of these projects; whole purpose of description according to statutes.”

    In other words, Dello Sarto AG appears to be an investment company that speculates, one has to assume, with SSPX funds in financial and other markets in the search for profits for various SSPX projects. But is it possible to get involved in today’s financial markets without being exposed to the risk and/or practice of usury?

    The company was commercially registered on January 13, 2009 and issued 100 shares at 1,000 Swiss francs, giving it an initial capital of 100,000 Swiss francs.

    As far as the checkbook is concerned, Maximilian Krah and Bishop Fellay alone are enabled individually to issue a payment of funds, while Frs. Pfluger and Baudot are required to obtain a co-signature to do so. Krah is not a cleric, but exercises greater financial powers than the First Assistant or Bursar. Curious.

    Maximilian Krah is a Board Member of other associations that control SSPX funds.

    In the September 2010 edition of a publication issued by EMBA-Global we read that the “EMBA-Global programme is designed for experienced managers, professionals and executives who seek to develop the skills, knowledge and networks to operate as successful Global leaders, anywhere in the world,” and that it “brings together an elite international network of business professionals.”

    Link: EMBA-Global
    http://www.emba-global.com/EMBA-Global_Cla...tember_2010.pdf  [the archived version is a dead link]

    Maximilian Krah is pictured on page 6 of the September 2010 publication along with the following, accompanying text:
    “Maximilian Krah. German. Lawyer. Jaidhofer Privatstiftung, Vienna, Austria. Lawyer with substantial international experience. Currently a Board Member of an Austrian foundation. Responsible for wealth and asset management of the settlement capital, and for the project development of non-profit projects all over the world, which are sponsored by using the achieved funds.”

    The full name of the company mentioned above is Jaidhofer Privatstiftung St. Josef and Marcellus. Jaidof is the seat of the SSPX District headquarters in Austria.

    The fact that the SSPX appears to be involved in international financial markets will worry many of their faithful who would, rightly, believe that such activity is both risky on the material plane, and questionable on the moral level. There may, of course, be those who are less concerned, feeling that it is acceptable practice in the modern world, and aimed at “a final good.” Are the latter right?

    Krah first made his appearance in the international sphere, as far as rank-and-file traditionalists are concerned, in the wake of what has been dubbed by the mainstream media as “the Williamson Affair.” His comments on the bishop were less than flattering, exuded a liberal view of the world, and poured oil on the fire of controversy that raged across the world, and against both the bishop and the SSPX, for months on end. It has been plain for a long time now that the “interview” and the “ensuing controversy” were a set-up, but it was, and still is, a matter of conjecture as to which person(s) and/or agencies engineered the set-up. Perhaps subsequent information in this email will throw more light on this troubling question?

    What is beyond conjecture, however, is that Bishop Fellay’s attitude towards Bishop Williamson changed dramatically. Even those who will hear nothing against Bishop Fellay have noticed this change. The change has been public and persistent, and has been both insulting and humiliating for Bishop Williamson. It has also been largely carried out in the mainstream media, and, in Germany, the notoriously anti-Catholic communist magazine, Der Spiegel, has found a favored place, much to the astonishment of traditionalists everywhere. It has been there that we heard the shocking references to Bishop Williamson as “an unexploded hand grenade,” “a dangerous lump of uranium,” etc, as well as the insulting insinuations that he is disturbed or suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. The question, let it be remembered, is not whether one agrees or disagrees with Williamson, whether one likes or dislikes either Bishop Williamson or Bishop Fellay, but whether or not a man has a right to express a personal opinion on a matter of secular history. The ambush of Williamson by the Swedish interviewer, Ali Fegan, said by some Swedes to be a Turkish Jєω, left Williamson on the spot: to get up and walk out in silence, thereby providing the media with the hook “that his refusal to speak is proof of his revisionist beliefs” or simply to lie. Williamson made his choice. Whether we agree or not is neither here nor there.

    In the past, nearly two decades earlier in Canada, Williamson made “controversial comments” on the same subject at what was understood to be a private meeting of Catholics. A journalist, however, found out and made a story out of it. The relevance of this episode is that the attitude of Archbishop Lefebvre contrasts remarkably with that of Bishop Fellay. The first just ignored the “controversy,” treating a secular and anti-Catholic media with total disdain, and the matter quickly became a dead issue. The latter played to the media gallery, broke corporate unity with his brother in the episcopacy (specifically warned against by Archbishop Lefebvre during the 1988 consecrations), and turned what should have been a molehill into a mountain.

    ENTER KRAH

    Krah is instructed to find an attorney to defend Williamson. He opts for Matthias Lossmann as defense attorney, a strange choice. It is strange, because Lossmann is a member of the extremist Die Grünen party (The Greens), an organization that is well-known in Germany as a water melon: green on the outside, red on the inside. A party that is pro-feminist, pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, pro-abortion and harbors Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a member of the European Parliament in its ranks. Besides his frontline involvement in the 1968 Red turbulence in the universities in France, he is a known advocate of pedophilia, as his autobiography demonstrates. What was Krah thinking of, then, in choosing such an attorney to represent a Catholic bishop? Was Lossmann really the only attorney in Germany prepared to take this case?

    Krah’s choice is strange for a second reason. Krah is a member of a political party, but not the Greens. Krah is a prominent political activist and officer in Dresden, in the east of Germany, of the liberal, pro-abortion, pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ Christian Democratic Union, led by Angela Merkel. Chancellor Merkel also comes from the east of Germany and is commonly referred to in that country as “Stasi-Merkel” after revelations and photographic evidence came to light hinting that she was recruited and formed by the Stasi, the former East German State Secret Police; a common approach made to young people, particularly those seeking professional careers, in the former Communist State of the German Democratic Republic. The same Merkel that publicly reproached Benedict XVI for having lifted the so-called “excommunication” of “h0Ɩ0cαųst denier” Williamson, and demanded that the Pope reverse the decision.

    Krah is pictured on the editorial page, page 3, of a CDU publication, of May 2006, in the link below:

    Link: Die Dresdner Union, May 2006.
    http://www.cdu-dresden.de/index.php?mo=mc_...40107b868a48%7D  [the archived version is a dead link]


    He portrays himself in the journal as some kind of Christian (though we are informed via SSPX faithful that he attends the SSPX chapel in Dresden), yet chooses an attorney for Williamson that could not have been worse.

    Remember, too, that after the first Der Spiegel hatchet job on Williamson, Krah turned up at the British HQ of the SSPX in London at short notice and sought to get Williamson to do a second interview with the disreputable magazine. Williamson refused to do so, in spite of the fact that Krah had come with these journalists with the express sanction of Bishop Fellay! How in God’s name could Mgr. Fellay have thought that a second bite at the apple by Der Spiegel journalists would help the cause of Williamson or the SSPX? Go figure.

    Moreover, consider the approach of both Krah and Lossmann in Williamson’s first trial. There was no attempt to defend him, though it is plain that Williamson had not broken German law, contrary to public perceptions generated by the media. What occurred, according to non-Catholics who attended the trial, was a shocking parody of a defense: Krah, unctuous, smug and mocking in respect of the bishop; Lossmann, weak, hesitating, insipid. Both effectively “conceded” Williamson’s “guilt,” but nevertheless argued for “leniency.” At no time did they address the legal questions at hand, questions that did not relate directly to the “h0Ɩ0cαųst” and its veracity or otherwise, but as to whether or not the provisions of the law actually applied to the Williamson case. In other words, a Caiphas defense.

    It can, therefore, come as no surprise that Williamson decided to appeal the Court’s decision, and to engage an independent attorney who would address the actual legal questions of the case. That Bishop Fellay, on the basis of media reports, ordered him publicly to sack this attorney or face expulsion is a great surprise, one might even say a scandal, for such situations require knowledge of all the facts, serious reflection, and sagacity. The Press Communiqué demonstrated none of these requirements, and merely represented one more example of Bishop Fellay’s unexplained public hostility to Mgr. Williamson. It is significant that the DICI statement referred to Williamson’s new attorney as someone who was associated with “neo-nαzιs,” this being a reference to the German National Democrats, an organization that has been in existence for about 50 years and has elected members in some regional German parliaments. If it had been “nαzι” it would have been banned under the German Constitution a long time ago – as many such groups have found out over the years in Germany. Moreover, while DICI chose the term “neo-nαzι,” the British Daily Telegraph chose “far right,” as did those well-known anti-semitic journals, The Jerusalem Post and Haaretz.

    Did Krah have an input into this communiqué? We cannot know for sure, but we do know something about Krah that is not common knowledge. Maximilian Krah is Jєωιѕн. He presents himself as some sort of ‘Christian’ in the link provided above, yet we find a more revealing picture of Maximilian Krah, at this link below, in attendance at a fundraising event in New York during September 2010.

    Link: American Friends of Tel Aviv University
    http://www.aftau.org/site/PageServer?pagen...0_AlumniAuction

    The attendees of this fundraising party are alumni of Tel Aviv University. They are raising scholarship funds to assist diasporan Jєωs to travel to the Zionist State of Israel to receive a formation at Tel Aviv University. Look at the photographs. Every single person is identified and every single one is clearly Jєωιѕн. There is no problem whatever with this, Krah included.

    However, Krah is at the financial center of the SSPX; he has done no favors to Williamson and his case by his statements and actions; and may be responsible for things yet unknown or unseen.

    Since his arrival on the scene, traditionalists have witnessed

    1) The abrupt disappearance of important theological articles from District websites regarding Judaism and the pivotal role played by our “elder brothers,” as Bishop Fellay referred to them this year, in Finance, Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and Communism, none of which could have been construed as “anti-semitic” by the time honored standards of the Catholic Church.

    2) Bishop Williamson being continuously and publicly denigrated, humiliated and grossly insulted.

    3) The communist journal, Der Spiegel, being favored with arranged interviews and stories to keep the “Williamson Affair” on-the-boil, thereby tending toward the “marginalization” of Williamson.

    4) A scandalous and erroneous article being published in The Angelus, in which the faithful were taught that a тαℓмυdic rabbi was a saint, and that the said rabbi was positively instrumental in preparing the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the conversion of St. Paul.


    All these facts combined necessarily raise a whole series of questions. These questions can only be answered by those in a position to know all the facts. In this case that person is Bishop Fellay, since he is the Superior General, has unrestricted access to all aspects of the Society’s work, and obviously has taken Mr. Krah into his confidence on both the financial and legal levels.

    This writer is making no accusations or insinuations against Bishop Fellay at any level. He is simply requesting that he make public reply to the following questions in order that the doubt and worry, which is widespread among the clergy and faithful since the events of last year, is allayed, and soothed by the balm of Truth.

    Your Excellency,

    1) Were you aware that Maximilian Krah, who currently has significant power and influence in important areas of the internal workings of the SSPX, was Jєωιѕн when he was taken into your confidence?

    2) Who introduced, or recommended, Maximilian Krah in his professional capacity to the Society of Saint Pius X?

    3) If you were not aware of Krah’s background and political connections, why was he not carefully investigated before being brought into the inner-circle and inner-workings of SSPX?

    4) Why does Krah, who is not a cleric of the SSPX or even a longtime supporter of the Society, have such singular power to handle SSPX funds?

    5) Who are the shareholders of Dello Sarto AG? Are they all clergy of the SSPX or related congregations? Are the shares transferable through purchase? In the event of the death, defection or resignation of a shareholder, how are the shares distributed? Who in any of these cases has the power to confer, designate, sell or otherwise dispose of these shares? You? The Bursar? The Manager? The Board Members? The General Council?

    6) Why is the Society of Saint Pius X engaged in financial activities which may be common in modern society, but which are hardly likely to be in conformity with Church teaching pertaining to money, its nature, its use and its ends?

    7) Why was Krah allowed to keep the pot boiling in the “Williamson Affair” by arranging interviews and providing stories for Der Spiegel magazine? How could an alleged Christian Democrat be the intermediary with a notorious communist journal?

    8) Why was Krah permitted to impose upon your brother bishop an attorney belonging to the extreme left-wing Die Grünen?

    9) Why was your brother bishop threatened with expulsion from SSPX for merely hiring an attorney who was actually interested in fighting the unjust and ridiculous charge of incitement? Is it not the case that those of the Household of the Faith must take precedence over those who are without?

    10) Can you explain why your public attitude to Williamson has changed, why you have continuously belittled him in public – while he has not responded in kind at any time?

    11) What do you intend to do about Mr. Krah given that his position within the Society is one of influence, but who cannot seriously be regarded as someone who has the best interests of Catholic Tradition at heart? Will you move as quickly to resolve this question as you have in respect of Williamson?

    There is no malice meant or intended in this communication. There is quite simply a tremendous fear for the future of the SSPX and its direction

    POST SCRIPT

    For those who think that the writer is muckraking, I would like to point out that it was me that made public the impending sell-out of the Transalpine Redemptorists several months before it took place. I received brickbats for the relevant post at the time, and some calumniated me – but I was shown to be correct after a short period. This writer has not posted anywhere since that time. He does so now because he possesses information, as he did in regard to the Redemptorists, which needed to be made known widely for the good of Catholic Tradition. Nothing would please me more than to have Bishop Fellay answer these serious questions and put Catholic minds everywhere at rest.

    SSPX Superior Bp. Fellay's Lawyer/Business Partner's Visit to Israeli Military Special Forces Base Docuмented
    https://web.archive.org/web/20220620023154/http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2012/06/sspx-superior-bp-fellays-lawyerbusiness.html

    In 2010 it was revealed that Bishop Fellay's lawyer and business partner, Maximilian Krah attended a fundraising event for Tel Aviv University. Another attendee at that event was a man named Oren Heiman. Oren Heiman is a classmate of Maximilian Krah at EMBA-Global which was analyzed HERE.

    From Friends of the 'Israel' 'Defense' Forces we find that Zionist fanatic, Maximilian Krah accepted the invitation of Zionist fanatic Oren Heiman [archived dead link https://dorchadashusa.org/page.aspx?id=148012] to visit a base of the "Maglan*" special forces unit 212 of the Israeli military:
    When Oren Heiman decided to get married in the desert in ... Israel, he wanted to celebrate with all of his friends. Oren, a lawyer at Shibboleth [boutique law firm] who spends much of his free time involved with Jєωιѕн philanthropies, is also studying in an executive MBA program at Columbia and he invited his classmates, many of whom had never been to Israel ...

    His friends gathered from all across the world, and Oren invited them to join him on a base visit with the Maglan unit, a special forces unit of the IDF. The group met the Master Sargeant and several combat soldiers from the unit, and they had the opportunity to try on uniforms, practice climbing ropes, visit the firing range and the tanks and observe soldiers in training.

    Oren’s guests ... came away with a clear understanding of the important work of [Friends of the 'Israel' 'Defense' Forces] and the need to support the soldiers.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20220620023154/http://www.fidf.org/page.aspx?pid=719

    *Maglan is Hebrew for Ibis, the bird of much occult significance, particularly for it's association with the Egyptian god Thoth who was depicted as having an Ibis head.

    In the images below, dated Apr 14, 2011, we see Maximilian Krah, among other things, happily wearing the uniform and beret of the "Maglan" special forces unit of the 'Israel' 'Defense' Force and waving a 'victory' sign.

    This is a followup to yesterday's posting, SSPX Superior Bp. Fellay's Lawyer/Business Partner's Visit to Israeli Military Special Forces Base Docuмented.

    In that posting docuмentation shows that Bishop Fellay's lawyer and business partner Maximilian Krah accepted the invitation of his friend Oren Heiman to visit a base of the "Maglan" special forces unit of the Israeli Military.

    Oren Heiman is the U.S. Chairman of a Zionist organization, "Yesh Sikuy" ("Israel's" Hope) of which the Executive Chairman is the former head of Mossad, Meir Dagan.

    See the screenshots below. Bishop Fellay's lawyer and business partner Maximilian Krah directly associated himself with this "Yesh Sikuy" organization by 'liking' it on 'Facebook.'

    The Rothschild-Gutmann Money Behind the SSPX Kosher Imperative

    Traducción parcial al Español aquí: MAS DE LA FUNDACION JAIDHOF

    (All images below may be enlarged by clicking on them) < disabled

    'The Remnant' has published an 'interview' with SSPX lawyer and asset manager Maximillian Krah in which he makes a statement regarding his involvement with a Jaidhofer Foundation:

    Siscoe:  Another company name that is mentioned is Jaidhofer Foundation. Can you discuss this company?
    Krah:  Yes, this is linked with the SSPX ... There is a family in Austria which wanted to donate to the SSPX, but did not want to donate directly. They wanted to establish a foundation that would support the SSPX.  And in every foundation you need some trustees.  It’s a kind of trust, and I am one of the trustees.  I was chosen by the family who established the foundation ...  This foundation is supporting the SSPX and using the money which was donated by this family. As an example, it is supporting the new Seminary project in Virginia ...
    Below is a picture of Maximillian Krah at Jaidhof with members of the Austrian Gutmann family he describes above as benefactors of the SSPX:

    From the Rothschild family archive we find some background on the Gutmann family and how its wealth was amassed:

    The steel heart of Czechoslovakia, as Frankova names it, was once owned by the Austrian Rothschilds, in partnership with the Gutmann brothers [Wilhelm and David] ... It is Salomon von Rothschild who, in 1844, bought the iron works, and founded the United Coal Mines of Vítkovice and Austro-Hungarian Blast Furnace Company ... Salomon’s English cousins helped fund the creation of De Beers in 1887.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20100422235547/http://www.rothschildarchive.org/ib/?doc=/ib/articles/vitkovice

    The Jєωιѕн Encyclopedia gives us the proper name of the Gutmanns who partnered with Salomon Rothschild:

    GUTMANN, WILHELM, RITTER VON: ...In 1853 he and his brother David established the firm which, during the war of 1859-60, despite the difficulties then surrounding business ventures, supplied coal for all the railroads, for all the great factories throughout the empire, and for the cities of Vienna, Budapest, and Brünn. Gutmann Bros. leased some coal-mines from the Rothschilds in 1865, and purchased outright other valuable carboniferous properties in Silesia, Galicia, and Hungary. The close connection between coal and the production of iron easily led the Gutmanns to combine their interests with the Witkowitz iron-works, which they afterward owned conjointly with the Rothschilds and the counts Larisch and Andrassy. With Kuffner they built (1871) the first sugar-factory in Austria ...

    https://web.archive.org/web/20210729015408/https://www.Jєωιѕнencyclopedia.com/articles/6962-gutmann-wilhelm-ritter-von


    From the Jєωιѕн Encyclopedia we find that Wilhelm von Gutmann partnered with the Rothschilds in financing a rabbinical seminary in Vienna:

    ISRAELITISCH-THEOLOGISCHE LEHRANSTALT: Rabbinical and teachers' seminary in Vienna, founded 1893 at the suggestion of Wilhelm and David von Guttmann and with the assistance of Albert von Rothschild and Freiherr von Königswarter, and opened Oct. 15 of that year. It is subventioned by the Austrian government, by the "Cultusgemeinden" of Vienna, Prague, and Lemberg, and by the "Landesjudenschaft" of Bohemia, and is governed by fifteen curators. The first president was Baron von Königswarter, who, at his death, was succeeded by Moritz Karpeles; the latter was followed by Moritz Edler von Kuffner.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20220816081026/http://www.Jєωιѕнencyclopedia.com/articles/8305-israelitisch-theologische-lehranstalt

    From an obituary for one of Wilhelm von Gutmann's sons, Moritz, we find that he was a relative of the Rothschilds of Vienna:

    Below is a historical overview of the Gutmann family and its ownership of the Jaidhof property, which the Austrian branch of the SSPX is based from, beginning with the Rothschild partner Wilhelm Ritter von Gutmann bringing us to the present heir Guntard Gutmann who is pictured above with Maximillian Krah at an SSPX chapel on the Jaidhof grounds:

    Below is a webpage from a "Europa Institute" which Guntard Gutmann seems to serve as an advisor on matters including think tanks and economics. He's credited as working for many years as an international banker. This Europa Institute seems to be associated with the Acton Institute which serves to acclimate Catholics to predatory economics and 'neo-con' politics. It's figurehead, Fr.

    An Interview with Maximilian Krah
    By Robert J. Siscoe [CAUTION!] POSTED: 10/27/12
    REMNANT COLUMNIST 
    ______________________
    Maximilian Krah

    (www.RemnantNewspaper.com) Several years ago, internet rumors began to circulate about a scandal brewing inside the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX).  According to these rumors, in early 2009, a Jєωιѕн Freemason named Maximilian Krah was appointed to the board of a newly founded corporation.  This corporation was to serve as the financial vehicle for the investments of the SSPX.  The board included the Superior General of the SSPX, Bishop Fellay, his first assistant, Fr. Nicholas Pfluger, the SSPX Bursar General, Fr. Emeric Baudot, and the purported Jєωιѕн Freemason, Maximilian Krah, who had a general power of attorney and hence access to the funds.

    As coincidence would have it, the founding of this corporation coincided with the airing of the now famous interview with Bishop Williamson, in which he provided his personal opinion regarding certain aspects of the h0Ɩ0cαųst.  The interview was subsequently aired on television in Germany, a country that requires an absolute unthinking adherence to the purported facts associated with the h0Ɩ0cαųst, the questioning or denial of which constitutes “h0Ɩ0cαųst denial” – a crime punishable by fines and up to five years in prison.  When Bishop Williamson dared to question several of the purported facts, during a television interview, quite literally all hell broke loose.  Dr. Krah, himself a lawyer, was entrusted with the task of locating a criminal attorney to defend Bishop Williamson.  Additional rumors began to circulate over Dr. Krah’s choice of an attorney to represent Bishop Williamson, and increased when Bishop Williamson decided to hire a different lawyer to defend himself. 

    More rumors concerning Dr. Krah have continued to spread across the internet ever since.  Message forums are filled with speculation, and websites and blogs have been set up in multiple languages to cover the latest events in what has come to be known as “Krahgate”.  But interestingly, as I performed an internet search of the rumors in order to prepare this opening commentary, I realized that the rumors, while heavy on speculation and insinuation, are light on specifics, and even lighter on evidence.  There is a lot of name-calling, but very little in the way of substantive accusations.  One recent rumor, which seems to be based on a picture that has surfaced, is that Dr. Krah is a Zionist and might even be a secret Mossad agent.  Although I did not follow the events of “Krahgate” very closely myself, I am aware that Dr. Krah’s reputation is less than revered among many SSPX faithful, and within certain circles ranks somewhere between that of Lucifer and Beelzebub.

    With this brief background in mind, let us fast forward to The Angelus Press Conference, which was held at the Marriot Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, during the weekend of October 19th through the 21st – a  conference that I happened to attend.

    On the first evening of the event, while on my way to cocktail hour, I struck up a conversation with a man in the elevator.  We continued our conversation as we made our way to the Pavilion, which was set up on the water behind the hotel, for the Conference attendees.  The gentleman and I continued our discussion as we proceeded to the bar for a glass of wine.  At some point, we realized that we had not formally introduced ourselves.  It was then that I learned the identity of the man I was speaking with, and it was none other than Maximilian Krah himself!  As he stated his now famous, or should we say infamous name, one could almost hear the screeching noise from the Psycho shower scene sounding in the background.

    I spent the remainder of the evening, and indeed the entire weekend, getting to know Dr. Krah.  We discussed the Faith, the situation in the Church, the current events within the Society, and even our personal opinions on the best way of dealing with the present crisis of Faith that we are living through.  Of course, we also discussed the many rumors circulating on the internet about him.  Needless to say, he was well aware of them.  He was more than happy to discuss them, and even seemed somewhat relieved to be able to finally give his side of the story.

    Dr Krah, was baptized Catholic as a baby and raised in the Faith, and his parents were married by his uncle, who was a Catholic Priest.  Dr. Krah, who is now 35 years old, found his way to Tradition in his early to mid- 20’s; and, after a brief pass through the Indult, has been a regular attendee of a Society chapel ever since.

    Over the weekend I got to know Dr. Krah fairly well.  We ate together, spent the evenings socializing, and he rode with me to the Pontifical High Mass at St. Vincent’s Church, which was celebrated by Bishop Fellay.  During the course of the weekend, as he would meet new people, I would observe their reaction as he told them his name, and then the conversation would usually turn to the rumors.

    Seeing how interested people were to hear his side of the story, which, I must say, differs dramatically from the internet rumors, I asked if he would allow me to interview him.  I then asked Michael Matt (also at the conference) if he would be interested in running the interview of Dr. Krah in The Remnant, and he said yes.  I purchased a tape recorder from the local Wal-Mart, did a quick internet search to familiarize myself with the rumors and get the latest news, and we made our way to the hotel’s “Nebraska Room” for the interview. The following is a transcript of the interview.

    The Interview


    Siscoe:  First off Dr. Krah, I would like to thank you for agreeing to this interview.  There is a lot of internet controversy surrounding you and your affiliation with the SSPX.  Since some of the controversy deals with your faith and ethnicity, would you begin by telling us about your personal background?

    Krah:  Yes, of course, thank you for the opportunity to answer these questions.  I am German by nationality.  I was born and raised Catholic in the then-East Germany.  My parents were married by my uncle who was a priest.  East Germany had a Communist government until 1989, so we had the experience of living our Faith under an atheist regime.  This may explain the reason for my positions on some points we will talk about later, because I know what it means to have an atheist government, an atheist state.  I would not say that the East German government in the late 1980’s made a strong persecution of Christians but it was officially atheist.  Sometimes I smile a little bit when I hear from other faithful that they feel persecuted by the government, because they have never experienced it. I think we should always see things in a very rational way, and we should not exaggerate our own feelings.  This is why I am always an advocate of being moderate and very focused and detailed, even if we think things are worse.  We should just be balanced.  Later on in 1990, Germany was re-unificated, and it was the Catholics who came into charge because they were completely trustworthy since they were not linked to the Communist government.  So my father, who was an engineer by training, became a senior servant of the state government and then my mother, who is a teacher by training, became a vice-principal of her school.  I have 2 siblings.  The oldest is my sister who is a dentist.  My brother is a doctor.  I later studied law in Germany and made my MBA in London and New York.  I did some research and received a doctorate in law.  My wife and I married with the Latin Mass on the High Altar, in Dresden Cathedral, shortly before we went to the SSPX. We have four children who we are raising Catholic, and we attend the chapel of the SSPX.  There is absolutely nothing that should be considered suspicious to other people.  We try to live a clean and successful life.

    Siscoe:  So you’re not Jєωιѕн?  No Jєωιѕн background?  You were baptized a Catholic as a child?

    Krah:  Of course, I am a Catholic.  That’s it.  About these accusations of being Jєωιѕн, I´d like to tell a story about when Charles Chaplin came to Germany in the early 1930’s.  A lot of people from Berlin came to see him, and Hitler was jealous.  The nαzι newspapers wrote an article criticizing and shaming so many Germans for applauding a Jєω.  When Chaplin came back to Hollywood, he was asked why he had not declared that he is not Jєωιѕн.  His answer was: if I would have denied it officially, I would have felt as if I was agreeing that there was something bad about being Jєωιѕн.  Given the mentality of the people at the time, he said it would have only contributed to the work of the nαzι’s, and this is why he didn’t say “I am not Jєωιѕн”. I had a quite similar reaction when I first read these accusations about myself.  I sent an email to a US priest of the SSPX and asked him what I should do, and he advised me to keep silent because there is definitely nothing bad about being of the same people as Jesus and Mary.  Moreover, in the early times of Christianity, the front rows in churches were reserved to the Christians with Jєωιѕн roots. That said, I do not think there is anything bad about people having Jєωιѕн roots.  I simply do not have it.

    Siscoe:  Are you a Freemason?

    Krah: No I am not a Freemason, and never have been.


    Siscoe:  How did you find tradition?

    Krah:  I think part of it has to do with my personal background.  Remember, I came from a country that was only 5% Catholic.  We were a minority.  It was considered brave to go to Mass every Sunday, and it was clear that Catholics had to stick together in opposition to the Communist government.  When the re-unification came, I very quickly joined the Young Christian Democrats, and the first action I took part in was in printing posters against a Communist radio channel.  And I was very proud of being a part of this; I was fourteen at the time.  We took part in this action, and then I came to Mass one Sunday, I noticed the chairman of the parish youth organization, who was the son of the pastoral assistant, and he was wearing a button in favor of this Communist channel.  And he wore it on his Yasser Arafat scarf.  This was at Mass.  [Chuckle]  When I saw this, I realized we live on different planets.  And for me I always asked myself, “is it possible, that with the things they teach and they do in the local parish, we could have built up Christendom, with its major impressive cathedrals?”  The answer was definitely “NO”!

    During my military time I began to think about and to read more about my own faith.  I eventually came across the website of the SSPX and I found the Catechism of Fr. Gaudron. I then sought out a traditional Mass in my area, and found there was one 120 kilometers away.  It was an Indult but all the ministers were trained by the SSPX.

    Siscoe:  What year was this?

    Krah:  It was about 2003….


    Siscoe:  Okay, so after a brief pass through the Indult, you came to be affiliated with the Society.  Can you tell us how that came about?

    Krah:  Even when I attended the Indult, I considered myself an SSPX man.  I had found the SSPX homepage.  I knew about Archbishop Lefebvre.  It was a very short next step to contact the SSPX directly, and I met the then District Superior Fr. Heggenberger.  At this time I was becoming more zealous in my faith, and because of my political activities and the status of my family, who was quite well linked to the diocese, I had considered trying to arrange a new Motu Proprio Chapel.  Or, I could go the harder way and try to organize an SSPX Chapel.  After a talk I had with Fr. Heggenberger, I decided doing it the hard way was the right way.  It was clear that if you are interested in traditional Catholicism, the Latin Mass, etc. then there is one big player and it is the SSPX.

    I have realized that not everyone who agrees with the SSPX attends the SSPX chapels.  I attended the Indult primarily because it was closer to where I live.  It wasn’t until later than I found out about the disagreements within the Traditional movement; between the different camps.  I think the agreement between the various camps is very great; and the disagreements are… I think … there is a Latin phrase “viribus unitis”, we are all Catholics and we have to try to fight together, as far as possible.  Of course, the SSPX is the anchor of the whole Traditional movement.  And the intellectual influence goes far, even into the Novus Ordo… even within the Novus Ordo people look at what the SSPX is doing.  They have them in their periphery.  So for me it was clear, if I go this step out of the diocese, there is only one place.

    Siscoe:  Do you have a favorite saint or a patron saint?

    Krah:  Yes, I have…  Maybe it is because I am thought of as quite an intellectual that I like the saints who are gifted intellectually; those who combine Faith and reason.  I very much like St. Robert Bellarmine who is quite close to the ideal of a balanced intellectual, combined with a strong faith.  What I am fascinated by is the historical meeting of St. Ambrose and St. Augustine.  I guess there are some such handshakes in history which change the world.  I consider this meeting of St. Ambrose and St. Augustine to be such an encounter.  It might be a little too simplistic to say but they met and they opened a new perspective for religion, for the whole world.  For me, this is a very impressive moment in history.  I guess you get an idea of what types of Saints impress me.  My 2nd son is named Pius because of Pius XII.  I consider Pius XII in some ways comparable to St. Robert Bellarmine … there is a balance.  I am very attracted to the intellectual side of the Faith.  This is something I very much appreciate about my Catholic Faith.

    Siscoe:  Let’s discuss some of the internet rumors.  Can you tell us about the company, Dello Sarto AG?  What was your affiliation with that company, and the status of that company today?

    Krah:  Yes, the first thing to realize is that a corporation prevents liability.  This is something that is widely known and is a common practice for the SSPX, especially in the US.  Dello Sarto was established to receive a large inheritance, which was expected to come but never did.  So now we have a completely empty corporation that we will shut down. The rumors were complete nonsense.  But maybe what are important to address are the rumors concerning my power of attorney.  They say I have too much power but lawyers always have a very wide power of attorney.  He can only use it if the client accepts it, but formally there is always a wide power of attorney.  This is absolutely business as usual, so all the rumors concerning Dello Sarto show that those who are spreading this campaign on the internet have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

    Siscoe:  And what was your affiliation with the company. You were on the board? …

    Krah:  With Dello Sarto, I handled the incorporation, and I was the representative… you could say my position would be similar to a COO [Chief Operations Officer].

    Siscoe:  So the company was set up in anticipation of receiving a large inheritance?...

    Krah:  Exactly, which didn’t come.  The heritage didn’t come.

    Siscoe:  There is another company that is mentioned as well, Laetitia AG.  Can you tell us about…

    Krah:  This company has nothing to do with the SSPX or Dello Sarto.  It is just part of my own… it is part of my attorney work, my judicial work.  I have more clients than the SSPX. This is a completely unrelated client.

    Siscoe:  Another company name that is mentioned is Jaidhofer Foundation. Can you discuss this company?

    Krah:  Yes, this is linked with the SSPX, and it is absolutely no secret.  There is a family in Austria which wanted to donate to the SSPX, but did not want to donate directly.  They wanted to establish a foundation that would support the SSPX.  And in every foundation you need some trustees.  It’s a kind of trust, and I am one of the trustees.  I was chosen by the family who established the foundation, firstly because I am a Traditional Catholic attorney with links to the SSPX, and secondly because of my professional record.  This foundation is supporting the SSPX and using the money which was donated by this family. As an example, it is supporting the new Seminary project in Virginia.  It has nothing to do with individual donations people give to the SSPX.  Everything we do is completely transparent.  We are supervised both by the General House of the SSPX, and by the Austrian tax authority, because we are philanthropic, and that means we are tax free.  We must always open our books to the public authorities.  So we have two supervisors, so to say, and everything we do is completely transparent and clean.


    Siscoe:  So, the inheritance was received into the trust, to be distributed, and no other funds go into it…

    Krah:  Nothing.

    Siscoe:  Okay…

    Krah: …Except, if someone would like to do it.  For example, if they were to request that money be placed into the foundation.  And if someone did request that, the SSPX would have to agree.  That means, the donor would have to agree, and the SSPX would have to agree.  But we have had no case yet in which this has happened.

    Siscoe:  So Sunday donations don’t go into it…

    Krah:  Nothing.

    Siscoe:  Okay…

    Krah: …The Sunday donations are not our business, and I don’t want to make it our business.  It is completely foreign to anything we are interested in.

    Siscoe:  Alright, moving on to another rumor, are you connected in any way with the Society’s School St. Theresa…

    Krah:  The German district started a foundation to support this boarding school in Germany, and I am on the board of the supporting foundation.  But the only task we have is to collect money for the school, and that’s about it.  It is important to mention that the school is now constructing a new building.

    Siscoe:  You say collecting funds…

    Krah: …Only from the outside.  Not the Sunday donations.

    Siscoe:  It is said that you are ‘a prominent political activist and officer in Dresden, Germany, and member of the ‘liberal, pro-abortion, pro-ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, Christian Democratic Union, led by Angela Merkel’.  How would you respond to this accusation?

    Krah:  [chuckle] Yes, of course.  I even ran for office this past summer.  I ran in the primary for the national parliament.  And I was quite successful too, although I lost at the end, 45 to 55 [chuckle], but this was quite okay for a newcomer challenging an incuмbent.  But I disagree with the characterization.  Like in every country, in Germany you have two big parties.  In the US, you have the Democrats and the Republicans.  In Germany, you have the Social Democrats and the Christian Democrats.  The CDU [Christian Democrats], you could say is the party of the Republicans, which is center right.

    Siscoe:  So, the party you ran under, they would be considered the right in Germany?

    Krah:  Yes, they would be considered the right.  And indeed, during my law studies I was employed by the then-member of parliament, Christa Reichard, who, for instance, is very strongly pro-life.  And she would be very angry if she heard a rumor that she is a member of a leftist party.  To make it understandable, when the unification came, the Catholics, and even the conservative Protestants, and anti-communists, joined the Christian Democrats.  And even now, all positions in the State of Saxony and in the City are held by Christian Democrats, so that the mayor of the city, and the governor and all local congressman on the State and national level, are from the Christian Democrats.  It is just the ruling party, and it is the party of the center right people.  And as a citizen of my city, since I am not a left-winger and have never been, it is clear that the Christian Democrat is my political home.

    Siscoe:  So, the Christian Democrats would be comparable to the Republicans in America?

    Krah:  Yes generally, but in Europe the political scene is a little more left wing than in America.  The left-wing Democrats in America are comparable to the Social Democrats in Germany, while the right wing Democrats and the moderate Republicans in America are comparable to the Christian Democrats in Germany.

    Siscoe:  So everything is a little farther to the left.  The left is farther to the left, and the right is closer to the center?

    Krah:  Yes, exactly.  And it is especially where I live and in my group, in my suburb.  It is comparable to, I would say, East Coast Republicans.

    Siscoe:  It is said that you were charged with the responsibility of finding an attorney for Bishop Williamson in his h0Ɩ0cαųst trial, and you chose Matthias Lossmann, a member of the extreme left wing Die Grünen party [Green Party], a radical leftist party that favors everything from abortion to ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity.  Can you comment on this?

    Krah: First, regarding the Williamson case.  It is obvious to me that the statement he made concerning the h0Ɩ0cαųst is historically wrong, and he is not open to arguments of historical facts. But, as a lawyer, it was clear to me that he did not violate the German law because, in the moment he made his statement, his wrong statement, he had no idea that the interview would be broadcasted in Germany.  This is the whole reason why I believe he is not guilty of having violated the German law.  I am not a criminal lawyer, so I had to find one for him.  And in such a case I would always highly recommend to take a criminal lawyer, who was under no circuмstances linked with, in any way, pro-nαzι movements.  To explain, the neo-nαzι movement in Germany is extremely small.  It is maybe 1% of the population.  It is absolutely small, and you usually don’t want to be linked with those persons, because they are exactly the persons you don’t want your kids to play with.  And so, to make his defense as successful as possible, I highly recommended him to choose an attorney which was more to the left side so that he can focus on the legal aspects, and was completely free of any political implications in his case.  I explained it to him and I introduced Lossmann to him.  Lossmann is a widely accepted criminal lawyer, who publishes in research journals on criminal law.  He is not as left as the rumors have presented him, because even the Greens [the Green Party], has two wings.  And he is definitely not from the left wing of the party.  He is, I would say, comparable to an East Coast Liberal.  That means he is definitely not a Communist or anything like that.  He is just a liberal citizen, interested in the fine arts, and maybe in the fine wine.  I introduced both to each other.  I explained the reason why I think we needed a more liberal person, than I am myself, and most of my colleagues, with whom I usually cooperate.  The Bishop absolutely was fine.  Lossmann was doing a great job, and then Bishop Williamson decided, without any explanation, to choose a different attorney…

    Siscoe: …So when you initially presented Bishop Williamson with your recommendation, and the reasoning for your recommendation, he agreed?

    Krah:  I explained everything and made it transparent.  And he understood and agreed.

    Siscoe:  And then he at some point changed attorneys?

    Krah:  Yes, and he changed to a completely unacceptable person, and he got a warning from the General House [of the SSPX] and changed lawyers once again.  Now he has chosen, once again, a completely un-political lawyer, who by the way is the president of the Association for Pop Music.  He is doing a brilliant job, just as Lossmann did.  They argue exactly the same way.  They don’t argue in any way politically or historically.  They say “look this is the law.  This is what he has done.  He had no idea at the time he gave the interview that it could be broadcasted in Germany, so the case will not have a successful prosecution”.  And it is the same argumentation, and the same style of defending.  It is a deduction to the legal problems, and does not involve bringing the historical and political matters into the court room.  And this is the only chance he has.  This is what Lossmann did, and this is what Edgar Weiler is now doing.  And in the middle, he had, for I guess one week, another approach, and I’m sure this other approach would have led to a catastrophe.

    Siscoe: Can you explain your involvement with the Society when “the Williamson affair” first broke?  What was the Society facing in Germany, and what did you do to assist the SSPX in this matter?

    Krah:  The interview was broadcast at the same time that the Pope lifted the so-called excommunications against the Bishops of the SSPX, including Bishop Williamson. So the headlines in Germany were “Pope rehabilitates h0Ɩ0cαųst-denier”, and the SSPX became seen as a neo-nαzι-group in the masquerade of religion. The Chancellor herself expressed her misunderstanding about the Papal decision in favor of Bishop Williamson. The German District made plenty of public declarations, expressing that Bishop Williamson is in no way speaking for the SSPX and pointing out that the SSPX has absolutely no acceptance for anti-Semitism and such wrong ideas on history.  But no one believed it, because no one trusted them.  Many of the Faithful, and even some priests, began to get nervous, and demanded clear action against Bishop Williamson.  Some even began attending the Fraternity of Saint Peter or Motu Proprio masses.

    In this serious situation, I was asked if I could help quiet things down by using my network of associates, and especially my connection into the media. Like in all countries, only a few media outlets have national impact. The Church’s correspondent scene is very small, about 10 journalists for the whole of Germany. Most of them are aligned with the Novus Ordo, which means they are incurably hostile against the SSPX. One of the rare exceptions is Peter Wensierski of Der Spiegel – The Mirror – who is really independent, which also means he is equally distant, some say equally hostile, to everybody. But as he is equal toward everyone, he was honest enough to state that the SSPX might be ultra-conservative, old-fashioned, etc., but they are certainly not nαzιs.  He is tough, but he is fair.  Whatever one thinks of the SSPX, they are not even close to fascism or the nαzιs. And since Der Spiegel is the “must-read” of the whole German elite, within two weeks the other media accepted the distinction of: the position of the SSPX, and the opinion of the one bishop. It could be seen in the wording of the headlines: Whilst before there was written about “these h0Ɩ0cαųst-deniers”, then it was distinguished between the “conservative group SSPX” and “the h0Ɩ0cαųst-denying Bishop Williamson”. We had just one shot, and it hit. Clearly a sign of grace. I sometimes wonder myself how we succeeded.

    Siscoe: But this wasn´t the end of it.

    Krah: No, it was just a step. But it brought us back on track. It gave us credibility. We then communicated that the Superior General has given Bishop Williamson one year to study the facts and ordered him to read a book on the issue, written by Jean-Claude Pressac, who himself had doubts about the existence of gas chambers in Auschwitz and later changed his mind after he started to look into the facts. This gave us a one year respite, and the media stopped it´s attacks, waiting for the year to pass by.  Bishop Williamson did not read the book. So when the year was over, we had to explain it. We just chose to be honest and transparent. We showed the efforts taken by the SSPX, but we also conceded that there was no influence on the Bishop, who has started to go his own way, unfortunately. In the end, we were able to successfully communicate that the SSPX in no way shared these views of Bishop Williamson.

    Siscoe: How were you able to influence the media?

    Krah: By plenty of behind-the-scene talks. I went to many distinguished journalists and explained to them the SSPX, its mission, its history.  Most of them were completely unaware.  Look, for us all of these issues are very present; we live them, and are familiar with them.  But for outsiders, the SSPX is something unknown; at least it was so in 2009. For a liberal journalist, who is not practicing religion at all, the idea of saying Mass in an ancient language like Latin is somehow curious. You have to explain it to him in a way he can understand.  You have to convince, instead of judge. This is what I did and what I still do. And as I am far away from every kind of political extremism, and always have been, they considered me to be trustworthy, which allowed me to influence them in favor of the SSPX. This is something I would like to point out in general; we should always take in consideration the background and the thinking of our counterparts. Most people are not hostile. They are just uninformed.  Instead of judging them, we should explain our views. In most cases we will see an acceptance, and in some cases, even support.

    Siscoe:  If you don’t mind my asking, what impact did “the Williamson affair” have on the current developments concerning Bishop Williamson?

    Krah:  I am not involved in these current events. As far as I know, the 2009 affair is unrelated to the current threat of expulsion. Look, the affair of 2009 was settled with the final article in “Der Spiegel” early in 2010. Since that time, the public has distinguished between the official position of the SSPX and the private opinion of Bishop Williamson. What has happened since then is that Bishop Williamson has openly undermined authority and hierarchy, which has caused division within the SSPX. This is an internal affair, for which my advice is neither required nor requested. This is the core business of the superiors. I am used to mediate between the SSPX and different sorts of secular players: judges, journalists, politicians, state officials, bankers. But I have no share in internal affairs. Here I am an ordinary faithful like all others. And I´m happy with that.

    Siscoe:  There is another rumor claiming that you were fundraising for Tel Aviv University. Can you fill us in on that?

    Krah:  Yes, of course.  I have a lot of friends, including many who are not Catholic.  And I have Jєωιѕн friends, which I appreciate very much.  They are wonderful people, and there is absolutely no reason for me to hide them, or to take their friendship into question.  So, with that said, I have no understanding for these accusations or insinuations.  They are my friends, and they can trust me as I trust them.  I was in New York one evening when I received a phone call asking if I had plans for the night, which I hadn’t.  But my friend had one, and we went to a reception in a gallery in Chelsea, and there were plenty of people, both Jєωιѕн and non-Jєωιѕн, from different countries, and it was hosted by the American Friends of Tel Aviv University, and of course they took pictures [chuck

    :...Krah is closely linked to the AfD candidate Arno Bausemer. During the election campaign, the media revealed that Bausemer had invented parts of his CV. In the summer, Krah tried to influence Bausemer's ex-girlfriend, the AfD politician Bianca Wolter. He wanted to ensure that Wolter did not comment negatively on Bausemer. He promised her financial benefits for her and her child if Bausemer was elected to the EU Parliament.[48].
