Security Police, and of the {Groupes de Protection}, gave Marshal Petain a
copy of the MSE Pact, with the immediate request of launching an
investigation into the Synarchy. Petain agreed and the Minister of Justice,
Raphael Alibert, also a former Maurrassien, began the investigation during
the first days of Vichy, in the summer of 1940. Remember that Laval was
kicked out five months later, in December of 1940. Petain reportedly hated
freemasons and decided to launch an all out purge of secret societies. In
August of 1940, Petain imposed a decree outlawing all clandestine
organization, and all dignitaries of such secret orders holding public office
were fired. Petain had launched a sort of anti-Masonic McCarthyism witchhunt.
The news of Jean Coutrot's death in May, 1940, (before the creation of
the Vichy government) brought the synarchy to the attention to the public at
large.
According to Kuisel, "The Synarchy's leaders were Bouthillier and
Leroy-Ladurie; their henchmen were Barnaud, Lehideux, Belan, Bichelone,
Pucheu, and a few other civil servants. These men supposedly had gathered
together in July of 1940 to further two immediate goals: (1) to gain control
of all French industry by establishing the Organization Committees; (2) 'to
eliminate from the government individuals with revolutionary tendencies or
national socialist sympathies.' Included in the latter category were Laval,
the ultras' current favorite, and Raphael Alibert, a former associate of the
Cagoule and close friend of Martin. The Martin note called Laval's dismissal
on December 13 (1940) by Bouthillier 'the final victory' of the synarchy."
(Kuisel, Op. Cit., p.387) This statement demonstrates that Kuisel had the
whole thing ass backward, because it was Barnaud and Lehideux who were
the banking {Authority} of the Banque Worms, while Bouthillier and
Leroy-Ladurie represented the executive {Power}, inside the government.
Martin had been circulating his memorandum on the synarchy inside
of the Vichy government. By this scandal, Martin was hoping to bring the
Vichy Cabinet to a closer collaboration with Germany, at any rate, closer to
the orientation of Laval. This was an internal synarchist fight that Kuisel
had identified as the fight of the "technocrats" against the "ultras." This fight
was especially important for epistemological reasons, and specifically
because it showed the impossibility of solving the political crisis from within
the artificial Right and Left system. As a result, the Left had to be sacrificed
and subordinated to the Right. By July 30, 1940, there were everywhere in
Vichy rumors of a failed coup by the synarchists. By August 1, the scandal
