Uranium Connections to the JFK Assassination Deserve More Attention

The Potential Loss of the Oil Depletion Allowance was not a reason to Kill JFK. Controlling the Energy Supply Chain for the Next 100 Years Makes More Sense.

When we hear or read that JFK was assassinated because some "Texas Oil Men" did not want to lose tax breaks under the existing oil depletion allowance, we shake our heads. Tax policy changes do not prompt conspiracies and assassination attempts. It is a lot cheaper and safer to hire some tax lawyers and accountants to find the loopholes that will inevitably exist in whatever new tax law is adopted.

If the preceding 100 years before 1963 were the Petroleum Century, the next 100 years promised to be the Nuclear Century. The common denominator of the 200 year Petroleum and Nuclear centuries is Energy. There is no reason to believe the primary commercial interests that controlled the flow of Petroleum Energy would relinquish any of their control of Energy markets in general, and not position themselves for control of Nuclear Energy for the next 100 years.

In other words, if you want to maintain dominance over "Energy" in the next 100 years, like you did for the previous 100 years, then occasionally taking out a President or two, who will not play ball, is likely an acceptable risk, given the rewards.

Naturally, if you control the Energy markets, you effectively control the Global Economy. I you control the Global Economy, then you effectively control everything else (smaller industries and markets, governments, people, etc.)

Atomic Everything

Since at least the 1970s, when Three Mile Island looked like it would blow-up half of Pennsylvania, the viability and safety of nuclear energy has mostly been viewed skeptically by the public. In the early days of the Atomic Age (shortly after WW2), however, the splitting of the atom held out the promise of unlimited amounts of clean energy for public consumption. Nuclear planes and atomic Studebakers, were just on the horizon by the early 1950s and every serious investor and fly-by-night speculator wanted in on the action; much like the late 1990s Internet craze.

The Cabal that controlled the Petroleum Industry for the previous 100 years, out of the need to maintain its control over governments, markets and people for the next 100 years, needed to control the Nuclear Industry going forward. 

Not Much JFK Era Nuclear Research

We are relative "newbies" to the world of JFK assassination theories. In fact, until the attempted Coup against Trump, we had little interest in lone gunman, grassy knoll conspiracies, or oil depletion allowances. Until 2016, none of the JFK theories out there seemed to have much of a connection to contemporary events. The existence of cabals and conspiracies involved in the JFK assassination seemed irrelevant if true. Nevertheless, the research into Robert Mueller's family tree and the peripheral connections of some Trump coup plotters, like Stefan Halper, to past coup attempts, led us to take a closer look at the JFK assassination, and the various theories about who was behind it.  

The Mueller Family involvement in the nuclear industry forced us to take a closer look at JFK's nuclear energy and weapons policies and see if their were any connections to his assassination.

Even though there is tons of JFK assassination literature out there, and we have only perused a sliver of it, from what we can tell, little has been written about potential associations between the assassination and his nuclear policy.

JFK's Atomic Issues  

The "Atomic-themed" research that does exist seems too under-represented in the assassination literature, relative to the importance of JFK's policies, and the perceived importance to the American economy in the early 1960s. In other words, at a time when Nuclear Energy was perceived as the successor to Petroleum Energy, and therefore to be the primary driver of the global economy going forward, assassination related connections to nuclear issues are lacking.

Israel Nuclear Weapons Program

JFK was opposed to Israel nuclear weapons program. There is a decent amount of information about JFK's opposition, and the program itself, however, there seems to be a reluctance to connect some historical events, or examine certain aspects of the program in the context of the JFK Assassination.

While we know JFK opposed the program, and we know the Mossad managed to smuggle enough Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) out of the NUMEC plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania by 1965 to build several bombs ("The Apollo Affair"), we have not seen any documented research, or very much undocumented speculation, that the smuggled HEU and the assassination are potentially related. 

The lack of literature linking The Apollo Affair to the JFK Assassination, in part reflects a reluctance to get to close to the third rail of American foreign policy, which is anything critical of Israel. (We would argue that it is good that Israel built the bomb, and that the Mossad's  procurement of the HEU is less important than who in the U.S. Government sold the HEU to the Mossad. ie. The Mossad, as foreign spies, did what foreign spies do. The Americans, on the other hand, are traitors.)

The 1958 formation of NUMEC and the 1965 discovery that HEU was missing from the NUMEC plant in Apollo (near Pittsburgh) suggests that some of that HEU was going out the back door of the factory when JFK was President. (Alternatively, the HEU finally made its way out the door after JFK's death because he was no longer in the way.)

Final Judgment - The Missing Link In The JFK Assassination Conspiracy does dig into possible connections between Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program and the JFK assassination.

"George Sergius de Mohrenschildt was a petroleum geologist..."

That is the first sentence on George "Ds" Wikipedia Page. He probably was, but he easily could have been a uranium geologist, or both, given his travels and a few other indications in his biographies. Any of the countries he visited in the 1950s and 1960s could have been for uranium prospecting in addition to, or instead of oil prospecting. 

George "D" visited Nigeria, France, Mexico, Ghana, Togoland, France, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba, among others. Although some of those countries currently have operating uranium mines, in the early days, any of those countries held potentially commercially viable reserves.

According to CD 531, CD 532 and Volume IX of the Hearings, deMohrenschildt in the 1940s was accused of collecting data regarding the operation of a uranium plant and in
1957 was suspected of spying in Yugoslavia. - Source: Coup d'etat in America"

Mr. JENNER. Tell me about the Sharples family*.
Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. The Sharples family is from Philadelphia, Philadelphia Quakers. He is in the centrifugal processing business and also in the oil business. And I had dealings with his nephew for many years.
Mr. JENNER. What is his name? Source: The Warren Report

*Wynne Sharples was the second wife of George De Mohrenschildt from 1951 to 1956.

"In 1939, while on a cross continental trek, George Von Mohrenschildt and Rodrick MacArthur were taken into custody by Mexican authorities, suspected of being spies because of their interest in uranium resources and evicted from the country after protests from the American embassy."- Source: JFK Counter Coup 2

Those Texas Oil Men were also in the Uranium Business

It was not necessary to fly to Togoland or Yugoslavia to find Uranium.

"The uranium district of south Texas was discovered by accident in 1954 by an airborne gamma radiation survey looking for petroleum deposits." Source: Wikipedia

Uranium production started in 1958 in Texas and continued until 1999. After a five year hiatus, production started up again in 2004.

Many of the early investors included companies and groups who were already familiar with the area from their investments related to oil exploration and production.

According to Quixotic Joust "Morris D. Jaffe had help from LBJ's connections in Washington to get his alleged uranium field certified as "rich" by the AEC. As the grandson of real estate investors, he was then able to buy up options to purchase adjoining lands in which he optioned off prior to the uranium crash, apparently to Climax Molybdenum Company"

"Col. D. Harold Byrd is one of the most energetic and enterprising U.T. geology exes and one of the most active supporters of the University, which owes much of the Longhorn Band's appearance and activity to his assistance. He is president of the following four corporations in Dallas: Byrd Oil Corporation, Byrd Uranium Corporation, McConnell Drilling Corporation, and Colorado Carbonics, Inc. The fabulous role which Harold Byrd and Jack Frost played in discovering and developing the great East Texas Field is well known to most of the oil industry." 

D. Harold Byrd owned the 411 Elm Building, to which the Texas School Book Depository company moved in April 1963 from just across the street at 501 Elm, often called the Dal-Tex Building.
