Jacques de Mahieu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques de Mahieu (Paris, 1915 - Buenos Aires, 1990 [1]) was a French Collaborationist under Vichy and former member of the Charlemagne SS Waffen Division. After the Liberation of France, he was one of the first to flee to Juan Peron's Argentina through the ratlines organized by Peron and the Vatican. Naturalized Argentine [2], he became an ideologue of the Peronist movement, before becoming a mentor to Roman Catholic nationalist youth group in the 1960s [3]. He has written several books on esoterism, which he mixed with anthropological theories, creating "scientific racism" theories [4]. Thus, he wrote as well on pre-Columbian America as on esoteric Nazism. He traveled in Paraguay for anthropological studies, and claimed the Guayaki tribes were descendants of the Vikings. Jacques de Mahieu became a professor of anthropological studies in Buenos Aires with important functions (some claim rector of the Institute of Human Studies). He allegedly traveled to Brasil in 1974 where he visited the Sete Cidades parc in Piauí and considered it as a Viking establishment [5].
In 1989, he was taken in photos doing the presidential campaign of Carlos Menem [6].
His work, in particular concerning the alleged history of Vikings purported to have become the elite of the Inca Empire, continues to inspire scientific racism theories and is quoted in quite a few such groups. His books on the Knight Templars alleged that they had found their secrets in Mexico before Columbus's "discovery" of the Americas.
