Maurice Bunau-Varilla
Encyclopedia
Maurice Bunau-Varilla was a French
press magnate, and proprietor of the newspaper Le Matin
. During the Second World War, he made the newspaper's editorial line pro-German and pro-collaborationist, and it ceased publication 16 days after his death. Bunau-Varilla admired Adolf Hitler
more out of his anti-Communist leanings than out of Nazi conviction.
Maurice Bunau-Varilla did not die on the 1 August 1944 as supposed. He took a curare pill supplied to him by the intelligence service. Curare is a poison which paralyses the voluntary muscles but leaves the heart and lung intact. He took this and dropped apparently dead in front of his younger son Guy Bunau Varilla who was left everything in a will, was condemned to death and did seven years in prison 'for nothing' as he said to me. He was a journalist. He was supposedly buried in the grounds of the Chateau D'Orsay and was taken away to Trinidad where my father headed the Naval intelligence service.My mother Genevieve introduced him to me circa 1950 at the Alliance Francaise in Port of Spain Trinidad This all corresponds to the unexplained lines in Nostradamus (read the Erica Cheetam Version as her father was an officer in naval intelligence) 'An innocent man buried at the foot of a wall'
Bunau-Varilla developed and promoted Synthol
as a cure-all tonic. Now known as a mouthwash and hair product, as well as a treatment for muscular pain, it is still sold in France.
