F. William Engdahl:Dalai Lama’s odd friends
This section is a part of the article ‘Risky Geopolitical Game: Washington Plays ‘Tibet Roulette’ with China’, which is originally published by The Centre for Globalisation Research, Canada. (see here)The author is F. William Engdahls, an economist and writer. In this section, Mr. Engdahl highlights the relation between Dalai Lama and Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler, Heinrich Harrer, and Augusto Pinochet, the dictator of Chile. Here is the article:
Dalai Lama’s odd friends
In the West the image of the Dalai Lama has been so much promoted that in many circles he is deemed almost a God. While the spiritual life of the Dalai Lama is not our focus, it is relevant to note briefly the circles he has chosen to travel in most of his life.
The Dalai Lama travels in what can only be called rather conservative political circles. What is generally forgotten today is that during the 1930’s the Nazis including Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler and other top Nazi Party leaders regarded Tibet as the holy site of the survivors of the lost Atlantis, and the origin of the “Nordic pure race.”
When he was 11 and already designated Dalai Lama, he was befriended by Heinrich Harrer, a Nazi Party member and officer of Heinrich Himmler’s feared SS. Far from the innocent image of him in the popular Hollywood film with Brad Pitt, Harrer was an elite SS member at the time he met the 11 year old Dalai Lama and became his tutor in “the world outside Tibet.” While only the Dalai Lama knows the contents of Harrer’s private lessons, the two remained friends until Harrer died a ripe 93 in 2006.1
That sole friendship, of course, does not define a person’s character, but it is interesting in the context of later friends. In April 1999, along with Margaret Thatcher, and former Beijing Ambassador, CIA Director and President, George H.W. Bush, the Dalai Lama demanded the British government release Augusto Pinochet, the former fascist dictator of Chile and a longtime CIA client who was visiting England. The Dalai Lama urged that Pinochet not be forced to go to Spain where he was wanted to stand trial for crimes against humanity. The Dalai Lama had close ties to Miguel Serrano2, head of Chile’s National Socialist Party, a proponent of something called esoteric Hitlerism. 3
Leaving aside at this point the claim of the Dalai Lama to divinity, what is indisputable is that he has been surrounded and financed in significant part, since his flight into Indian exile in 1959, by various US and Western intelligence services and their gaggle of NGOs. It is the agenda of the Washington friends of the Dalai Lama that is relevant here.
Of course, pictures are more powerful evidence:

Thanks for sharing the information.
Dalai Lama is certainly not as divine as he is promoted to be. If Dalai is truly divine, then why he befriends with a group of Nazi Party high-ranking officials?
Just as the old saying goes, if you want to someone’s personality, just watch who are his friends
Brad Pitt is boycotted by Chinese movie goers because of his role in . This movie was regarded by many Chinese as a distorted portray of Tibet history.
I hope more people could see this.
I talked to some people in UW-Madison and the truth is so many people have been brainwashed by the media.
How I don’t see a picture with Mao, Chao an lai.
That looks funny, missing the most important pictures.
FYI, William Engdahl and Centre for Research on Globalization have both retracted this article because Engdahl included false info in it:

Engdahl’s writings are unreliable to say the least.
Hi!,
Good day!,
Looks like the Trace Foundation threatened globalresearch.ca with a lawsuit it cannot afford. Rather than detail so-called inaccuracies gr.ca simply directs readers to Trace’s official site. Not exactly convincing proof that anything Engdahl writes is suspect.
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
Cheers! Sandra. R.
