Probably Just a Coincidence - You Never Know When You Might Need to Blow Up a Synagogue

The ascension of George Lincoln Rockwell as the leader of the US Neo-Nazi movement was contemporaneous with the formation of NUMEC and Apollo Industries by some enthusiastic Zionists back in 1958. If there is one thing the Deep State is good at, is distracting attention from a large crime with a headline grabbing smaller crime.

As described in our previous posts, George Lincoln Rockwell started to attract attention as the leader of the American Neo-Nazi movement in 1958. Harold Noel Arrowsmith Jr., whose family was an early investor in the development of Gibson Island, provided Rockwell with some funds and printing equipment that allowed Rockwell to get some momentum. We also wrote that Rockwell may have had foreknowledge of the 1958 bombing of an Atlanta Synagogue. Rockwell and Arrowsmith were both interviewed by the FBI shortly after the bombing.

If the Deep State is going to commit to nurturing a terrorist group, it will typically try to get its monies worth. The Deep State long term plan is generally to advance a branch of a dialectic (black civil rights groups versus segregationist proponents.) Over the short-term though, their is no reason why the terrorist group, already on the pay roll, couldn't be used to clean up a few messes, or eliminate the occasional witness.

Zionists form NUMEC 

As described in our on going series about the Apollo Affair (Part 4) (Part 3) (Part 2) (Part 1), the Mossad, with the help of some Pittsburgh area Zionists formed NUMEC in 1958. The purpose of NUMEC was to smuggle Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) out of the NUMEC plant and into the Israeli nuclear weapons program.

We argue that the Pittsburgh area Zionists were mostly just the cover for a larger Deep State effort, and theorize that the "entrepreneur" (Zalman Shapiro) who formed NUMEC from the consolidation of Apollo Steel, San Toy Mining, and American Nut and Bolt Fastener, probably had to answer to a group of investors that are not known.

The Dave McGowan Theory of Serial Killers     

In the book, "Programmed to Kill", Dave McGowan puts for the idea that some of those famous serial killers of the 1960's and 1970's were creations of an MK Ultra type effort, or if not quite created "whole-cloth" at least had some CIA encouragement. These serial killer "characters", such as the Zodiac Killer, Charles Manson, David Berkowitz, and others, helped the Deep State advance its long term agenda to;

1. So fear and create "tension" in the broader populace and,
2. Kill a witness and/or enemy whose death can be blamed on the random murder of an unhinged serial killer.

Take the Zodiac Killer for example. Mr. Zodiac kills two teenagers one night. A few weeks later, another teenager is murdered in the same general area. Whether or not the three murders are related, the "authorities" have a great narrative to sow fear among normal people that no one is safe. Let the social engineering begin.

David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) played a similar roll in terrorizing the populace of New York City in the late 1970's. There is also evidence and assertions by researchers that two of the Son of Sam's murders were likely "contract hits", by either Berkowitz himself, or other members of the Process Church, which also had CIA connections.

Neo Nazis Needed

The formation of NUMEC was a big undertaking. Zalman Shapiro took the first steps towards its creation in 1956. (The 1956 formation was mostly on paper through its incorporation. We consider the actual formation of the business to have occurred in 1958, when NUMEC was merged with the aforementioned operating companies [Apollo Industries and its subsidiaries, San Toy, Apollo Steel and American Nut.])

Under such a large and treasonous undertaking (creating a company to smuggle HEU), and under the assumption Shapiro had Deep State help, proper planning would likely have to include a mechanism to destroy or cover-up any illegal activity if the conspiracy was discovered.

George Rockwell and his band of Neo-Nazis might have been the perfect foil for that role. We can imagine a scenario where Shapiro and his cohorts, which included names like, Sachs, Lowenthall, Solomon, Reizenstein, Kaplan, among others, eventually attracted the attention of the Feds, and needed to be eliminated. Under the auspices of standard antisemitism, a bomb in the Pittsburgh branch of the Zionist Organization of America, of which Shapiro was a member, might be the ideal cover for the murder of a witness and co-conspirator for a huge Deep State sponsored Uranium smuggling program.

Arrowsmith of Gibson Island, a Few More Familiar Names and a Dueling Scar

As noted in our last post, Harold N. Arrowsmith Jr. was known to associate with Neo-Nazis, including George Lincoln Rockwell, and old-Nazis, like Hans Rechenberg.

The historical record can confirm that Rockwell and Rechenburg were first degree connections to Harold Arrowsmith. A few more names have popped up in the list of associates of Rockwell and Rechenburg that are interesting. We have not dug deep enough to confirm a first degree connection between Arrowsmith and these associates, so we'll call them second degree connections for now.

Did Somebody Say Hookers?
Harold N. Arrowsmith was not the first wealthy WASP that Rockwell ran in the same circles with that was a potential source of funding for a nascent North American Nazi movement. Prior to Rockwell's receipt of some "start-up" capital from Arrowsmith in 1958, Rockwell was introduced to
DeWest Hooker (aka West Hooker.)

DeWest Hooker

DeWest Hooker is another one of those characters in the huge circle of JFK conspirators, Cold-War spies, culture manipulators and disinformation agents that all seemed to know each other, in some way, before November 1963.

The last name "Hooker" is one of those "Eastern Establishment" family names that would lend credibility to a possible "mark" like George Lincoln Rockwell, who was looking for a wealthy benefactor back in the mid-1950s. As this blog post reads, Dewest looked like a genuine "hoi polloi", and he may well have been. There are other Hookers in the general "milieu" of the JFK conspiracy, including a branch in the Rockefeller family. An Edward Hooker was the room mate of George H.W. Bush at Andover and the uncle of George de Mohrenschildt.

The Hooker/Rockwell association does not appear to have developed into a benefactor/protege relationship, and we only think it is noteworthy that apparent attempt was made because of the more successful relationship that developed a few years later between Rockwell and Arrowsmith. (ie. Neophyte Nazi (Rockwell) find WASP money (Arrowsmith.) In other words, was Rockwell an actor in a play he probably did not know he was in?

Otto Skorzeny with "dueling scar"

Otto Skorzeny, Super Nazi, had one Hell of a Dueling Scar
As described in this post the CIA station in Munich was keeping tabs on Harold Arrowsmith in 1962. Harold was noted to have been in contact with an un-repentant ex-Nazi named Hans Rechenburg. 

The CIA has a substantive file on Hans Rechenburg with 129 records available for review in the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act section of the CIA FOIA vault.

The most interesting record we have come across so far is a translation of a correspondence between Rechenburg and Super Nazi Otto Skorzeny. The letter is dated February 19, 1962 and a February 12 letter is referenced.  (The letter between Rechenberg and Arrowsmith is date January 20, 1962.) 

We'll set aside further speculation as to whether the letters have any significance for the time being and anyone is free to go through the Reckenberg CIA files if you are conducting your own research.

CIA Vault - Translation of letter between
Otto Skorzeny and Hans Rechenburg

• Link to "Rechenberg" (also occasionally "Reckenburg") Files in CIA Vault.

Otto Skorzeny gained Super-Nazi status when in World War II, Hitler asked him to rescue Benito Mussolini from his prison "high in the Abruzzi Apennines."

Skorzeny agreed and on 13th September he led an airbourne force of commandos by glider to a dangerous landing near the hotel where he was being held. Mussolini was soon freed and Skorzeny flew him to safety. Source: Spartacus Educational

Otto Skorenzy is also a suspect in the JFK Assassination, which is what makes him relevant to this narrative. The book below is relatively new (we have not read) and presents evidence that Skorzeny was involved in the plot to kill JFK.

More About Arrowsmith, the Nazi from Gibson Island

Harold Noel Arrowsmith corresponded with both "Old-School" Nazi's, like Hans Rechenberg, in addition to the neo-Nazis.

Our post yesterday highlighted Harold Noel Arrowsmith Jr.. The Arrowsmith family was one of the early "investors" in the Gibson Island real estate development. The post, About the Gibson Islander Neo-Nazi Financier, the "Face" he Financed, and the Futile JFK File Search can be read here.

Subsequent to yesterday's post, we found additional information about "Harold Jr."

• Seems to have lived in both Maryland and Germany since at least the late 1950's.
• Moved to Germany permanently in 1974, and passed away there in 1989.
• He was wealthy. As a result of international tax treaty issues, an appeal and litigation by his heirs prompted the disclosure that Harold had about $30 million when he died.

Munich Station - Keeping Tabs

We noted the absence of a "file" on Arrowsmith in the maryferrell.org archive database in the earlier post. A subsequent check of the CIA archives was more fruitful. (A few JFK researchers have said on various message boards that the maryferrell.org website is "controlled opposition." Maybe they are correct.)

The screenshot below shows that in early 1962, the CIA in Munich was monitoring the correspondence of Harold Arrowsmith with a German national named Hans Rechenberg. The letter indicates that Harold Arrowsmith either had an innocent interest in German history, which would square with his "anthropology" interests, or that his willingness to finance some small expenses may indicate more nefarious intentions.

The Rechenberg Dossier

Every stack of paper sounds important when you call it a dossier.

Hans Rechenberg (also Hans-Joachim Rechenberg, sometimes Rechenburg) was a Nazi "journalist" who worked under Reich Minister Walther Funk before the war and under Goebbels during the war. He was a war correspondent for the Reich and flew with the Luftwaffe on London bombing missions and parachuted into Tunisia with the Afrika Korps. In May 1943 Rechenberg was listed as MIA and spent the rest of the war in Concordia, Kansas until being repatriated back to Germany in 1946.

After the war, Rechenberg was apparently unrepentant, or duty bound, or needed the money, and remained loyal to some of his former bosses who rank high enough in the Nazi organizational chart to warrant a trial at Nuremberg.  These loyalist activities included:

Francois Genoud
Swiss Banker, ODESSA Supporter

• advocating for better prison conditions for his former bosses.
• oversaw "Progress", a Pro-German Nationalism / Anti-American Magazine.
• conspiring with a Swiss banker and escape agent for Nazi criminals named François Genoud 
• and according to the German to English translation, "With Genoud Rechenberg has worked in the marketing of the estate of Martin Bormann and at the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961."

In short, as of 1962, Rechenberg was assisting some of the more infamous Nazis in a variety of ways and was an "undercover agent" for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) aka West German Intelligence.

• CIA list of Rechenberg contacts
• CIA Intercept of Skorzeny & Rechenberg letter

Revisiting Arrowsmith

Harold Arrowsmith becomes even more interesting given that he was corresponding with Rechenberg, who it turns out, was actively running Nazi rat lines, if not actual Nazis. We can't say for sure if Arrowsmith's "old school" associations were prompted by the fall out with George Lincoln Rockwell and his new brand of American Nazis. (ie Rockwell was a disappointment, so Arrowsmith hooked up with the original version of the Nazi band.)

Alternatively, Arrowsmith may just have become disillusioned with Rockwell in particular, or Rockwell had served out a particular purpose, or the breakup was part of the school play. Whatever the case, Arrowsmith seems to have been in a relatively rare position to effect communication, plans, conspiracies, financial transfers, and a host of other arrangements between two "verbotten" entities; the Old School original Nazis and the New Wave Neo-Nazis of North America.

Nazi Rat Lines to New Orleans

The discovery of Harold N. Arrowsmith dovetails slightly with the broader thesis described by George Webb and McDuff (Kennedy's Man to Smash the CIA) on their Youtube channels (Webb Channel) (McDuff Channel), which, in summary, says that the CIA was running former Nazi's into place like New Orleans, and that these Nazi's were not always the scientific types, like under Operation Paperclip. That thesis is expanded on this earlier post; Who was Edward Pierpont Morgan? Was Charles W. Lyons a CIA Cut Out? Did Otepka run across a Nazi Rat Line?

Also worth a watch, The Nazis Next Door: How America Became A Safe Haven For Hitler’s Men, by the author of this book.

Who was Edward Pierpont Morgan? Was Charles W. Lyons a CIA Cut Out? Did Otepka run across a Nazi Rat Line?

We ran across Mr. Morgan when looking for information about Charles W. Lyons in the maryferrell.org JFK Assassination Archives

Edward Pierpont Morgan was an FBI agent from 1940 to 1947. He left in the FBI in 1947 and went into private practice in the law firm of Welch, Mott & Morgan in Washington D.C.

Edward, with the middle name "Pierpont" and last name "Morgan", seems like he should be related, in some way, to the John Pierpont Morgan clan of banking fame. So far though, that does not seem to be the case. Nevertheless Edward P. Morgan is still an interesting fellow.

"Edward" is not an unusual name, and neither is "Morgan." "Pierpont" is not a name most people run into often, and when paired with "Morgan", one thinks of J.P. Morgan, the famed financier.

In fact, Edward Pierpont Morgan's father is named John Pierpont Morgan, just like the famous one, but he is not the famous one, or his almost as famous son, JP Morgan Jr.

The famous J.P. Morgan's gets the "Pierpont" name from his mother Juliet Pierpont (1816 to 1884.)

The name Pierpont of the less famous J.P. Morgan does not look like a family name. J.P. Morgan, the father of Edward Pierpont Morgan, was born in 1892 and we could not find any preceding "Pierponts" in his family tree.

Charles W. Lyons

Charles W. Lyons has been mentioned on the George Webb and "McDuff" Youtube channels. Charles W. Lyons was an FBI agent in the Washington field office.

Charles W. Lyons has merited attention by George Webb and "McDuff" under the broad and abbreviated thesis that:

• Operation Paperclip, the OSS/CIA plan to bring German and Nazi rocket scientists to the USA after World War II, was considerably larger than the 1,600 scientist estimate conventionally used.
• All types of scientists were brought over (not just rocket and aerospace experts) such as psychologists, psychiatrists, pharmaceutical chemists, and others.
• Non-scientists, including former members of the SS, snipers, and assassins were included.
• Many were "rinsed" through the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states, and/or Soviet client states like the Ukraine and Belarus (White Russia.)
• A German, who can speak Russian, is a lot easier to get past State Department and FBI visa checks if he looks more like a defector and less like a former Nazi.
• MacDuff's father was charged with investigating the influx of rinsed Nazi's via CIA channels.

What were Mr. Lyons and Mr. Morgan Talking About?

On August 8, 1950, another agent in the Washington Field Office, William Leece was assigned a case that was related to some accusations made by Senator Joe McCarthy. The linked memo says that Lyons was attached to the case on October 2, 1950, but then adds that both Lyons and Leece had been jointly assigned to this investigation on August 8, 1950. 

The memo, dated November 19, 1952, seems to try to clear up some confusion as to whether Lyons was assigned to the case when an interview of Morgan was conducted sometime between August and October of 1950. The relevance of the date of Lyons' assignment stems from the interview that Lyons conducted (as well as Agent Robinette) with Morgan, "but since the interview was negative, it was not reported."

In short, Lyons was supposed to have told his superiors at the FBI Field Office that he spoke with Morgan, and should have reported what was said. The failure of Lyons to report his interview with Morgan prompted a letter recommending "censure for Special Agent Lyons..."

John Pierpont Morgan thought very highly of himself

Morgan had been out of the FBI for three years when he was interviewed by Agent Lyons. He had joined the law firm of Welch, Mott & Morgan and became National Director of the Office of Price Stability (OPS) in 1951. It was at his desk at the OPS when Morgan started to become a real pain-in-the-neck for the FBI, apparently "mouthing-off" that he would eventually be Hoover's replacement, but more annoyingly, poaching promising FBI agents and FBI Academy students for the OPS. 

As the January 13, 1951 memo below indicates, it looks the CIA had, or was in the process of, recruiting Mr. Morgan. We will surmise that Morgan was really recruiting for the CIA and the OPS was more likely a cover.  

We'll also speculate that Morgan was recruiting Charles W. Lyons (or already had) for CIA work. 

Charles W. Lyons next shows up in Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's Office

Joan Mellen provides the necessary background about the persecution of Otto Otepka here. 

Otepka was the "Deputy Director of the State Department Office of Security. This meant that Otepka was in charge of granting security clearances for all State Department personnel."

He supposedly ran afoul of RFK for denying a security clearance to a political appointee. The standard story is that RFK decided to make life miserable for Otepka, and that included filling Otepka's office with his own loyalists, including Charles W. Lyons.

... Now four more Kennedy people arrived at the Office of Security to keep watch over Otepka. They included Joseph E. Rosetti, who had served in John F. Kennedy’s congressional office; Massachusetts Kennedy intimate, Robert J. McCarthy; and Charles W. Lyons, also from Massachusetts. These three were joined by David I. Belisle, a National Security Agency operative and friend of Walter Sheridan’s from his days at NSA. Belisle was to serve as Otepka’s immediate superior.

The alternative Joan Mellen theory

As Joan Mellen notes, the harassment of Otepka for slow footing security clearances for JFK political appointees seems excessive. 

As Joan Mellen also notes, Otepka, in his position at the State Department, started asking a lot of question about a guy named Lee Harvey Oswald, whose file, per standard processes, fell on his desk. Otepka's interest and questions about Lee Harvey Oswald is what prompted the harassment. 

Joan Mellen argues that Oswald, as a CIA asset, was on RFK's radar from early on in the JFK administration, because Oswald was part of an RFK/JFK plan to eventually take out Castro. This argument is further strengthened by RFK's post JFK assassination actions to supposedly way-lay the Jim Garrison investigation, and otherwise try to limit his pre-JFK assassination tracking of Oswald's whereabouts. 

The alternative, alternative, George Webb and "McDuff" theory

If you are a regular follower of George Webb and John O'Loughlin (aka, McDuff: Kennedy's Man to Smash the CIA) then you know McDuff's father worked at the FBI during the JFK administration. As the story goes (and we'll make corrections or amend if we get the story wrong), FBI Agent McDuff was put in charge of examining the files of thousands of European emigres to the USA after World War 2 and figure out which ones were actually Nazis or some type of war criminal.

The task would be laborious. While the roughly 1,600 "Paper-Clipped" Nazi's had an official excuse to have received a US visa after the war (they were a scientist, or had intelligence to share, etc. [ie. somebody signed off on their entry]), the emigre files on McDuff's desk may have only been suspected, or had been "rinsed." The rinsed group would imply that they would not have been allowed to come to the USA because of their Nazi past. These would include standard Nazi scientists (perhaps not rocket scientists like the Paper Clipped group, but other scientists that might be useful, such as psychiatrists and bio-chemists; the kind that would be useful for a well financed CIA mind control program.) In addition to scientists, their might be an assortment of die-hard militant type Nazis, SS members, and overall, the types of Nazi's that one would need for third world junta support, assassinations,Gladio operations, and assorted country destabilization efforts.

Under that premise, the Nazi's with marks "on their permanent record" and who the CIA wanted for their dirty work, would have needed to have been cleaned and rinsed, in order for them to get past bureaucrats like Otto Otepka.

The working theory is that the Nazi's were rinsed through Eastern Europe and Russia (Belorus and Ukraine) as well as South America and Cuba. For example, a Nazi scientist might be forced to stick it out in the Ukraine for ten years, learn the language and practice their trade. After a while, the Nazi scientist is no longer a Nazi, but a Ukrainian scientist who hates communism and wants to defect to the West.They can then sail through Otepka's visa checks, or people in different agencies with similar mandates.

White Russians in Louisiana 

Whether or not Otepka caught on to the process of rinsing Nazi's into White Russians remains to be seen. It seems likely though, that the CIA did not need Otepka messing up their Nazi rat line. In hindsight, that RFK put Walter Sheridan in charge of watching Otepka, makes it look like a CIA operation, since only years later would JFK researchers surmise that Sheridan was a CIA cut out all along.

That also seems to be the case with Charles W. Lyons, as explained above.

Also years later, it would be Walter Sheridan that pushed the narrative that RFK and JFK were planning to kill Castro, with Oswald in on the effort, and that the "Blow Back" from that plan is what eventually caused Oswald and/or his band of Castro assassins to turn their guns on JFK instead. There are therefore a few possibilities as to why RFK had an interest in Lee Harvey Oswald, and the White Russian community in and around Lafayette, Louisiana a year or two before November 1963;

1. RFK was keeping tabs on LHO Castro assassin team assembly progress.
2. RFK was aware some of the White Russians were likely Nazi's and LHO, having recently returned from White Russia (Minsk) was involved in the rinse and repatriation.
3. Lyons and Sheridan and the CIA in general were spinning stories and pointing fingers at Otepka in attempt to keep RFK out of the loop. In other words, perhaps LHO was in Louisiana to help manage the White Russian Nazi rat line, but Sheridan and his CIA superiors were telling RFK that LHO was rounding up Cubans willing to take a shot at Castro under a covert program started under Eisenhower and Nixon.

Webb and McDuff also suggested the 1953 election of Batista to his second term, and under the pressure of Castro's revolution, caused Batista to cozy up to the American organized crime cabal, which effectively ended Hoover's FBI presence their. The CIA filled the void at this time and started using Cuba as washing and rinsing station for Nazi's looking for entry into the USA.  

Everyone Always Blame RFK

Blaming RFK for his brothers death was a good way for the CIA to deflect the blame from its own likely involvement. Robert Maheu, the "consultant" to Howard Hughes is often given credit for taking the first steps to take out Castro. We won't revisit the intrigue and embellishments of Robert Maheu, nonetheless, one could make the argument that Maheu approached the Mafia, on behalf of the CIA, to assassinate Castro, on the orders of RFK and JFK.

Under the assumption that the Kennedy Brother's orders to kill Castro never existed or were abandoned well before November 1963, then those that continued to push that narrative, were or are likely to still be trying to absolve of any CIA involvement in the death of JFK.

The Robert Maheu narrative naturally comes under suspicion. We think the narrative becomes even more suspicious by noting that Robert Maheu, retained Edward Pierpont Morgan, as his lawyer on matters related to Maheu's business with Howard Hughes.

As referenced above, Edward Pierpont Morgan was in all likelihood a CIA cutout since the early 50's, and also likely recruited FBI agents into the company, such as Charles W. Lyons. As shown in the screen shot below, Morgan was actively pushing the story that Castro hired Oswald to kill JFK, which is a variation of a CIA deflection story, and may have had some credence without the hindsight that Edward Pierpont Morgan was a "Company" man all along.

Mueller's First Cousin (once removed) Probably Helped Plan the JFK Assassination

Richard M. Bissell Jr. headed the CIA's Directorate for Plans from 1958 until President Kennedy fired him, General Charles P. Cabell and Allen Dullesafter the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion.

 

Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell, JFK, John McCone

During his service to the CIA, Bissell was instrumental in creating and executing the U2 Spy Plane Program. The U2 Spy Plane was a State of the Art Aircraft capable of flying at over 70,000 feet, which was above the ceiling of known Soviet missiles and interceptors. At the time, the U2 was considered untouchable.

Although the U2 could fly very high, and it's usefulness had proved itself many times during the 1950's and 1960's, the U2, was not a fast plane. By the late 1950's, Richard Bissell of the CIA, the Airforce and Lockheed, had already decided that the U2 would eventually need to be replaced. Development of the SR-71, capable of Mach 3, began at this time as a replacement for the U2.

The need for a new faster plane was enhanced on May 1, 1960. Pilot Francis Gary Powers was deep into Soviet Airspace on that day when a Soviet Surface to Air Missile finally got close enough to knock the Aircraft out of the Air. Gary Powers safely parachuted to the ground where he was taken prisoner by his Soviet hosts and held for approximately 21 months before he was exchanged for a Soviet spy held by the Americans.



Francis Gary Powers was never absolutely convinced a Missile brought down his U2. He had reason to believe sabotage brought his plane down and in later years, considered the possibility the October 1959 defection of Lee Harvey Oswald was connected to his downing some 5 months later.

In 1958 and 1959, Lee Harvey Oswald was a US Marine stationed in Japan. Lee Harvey was a Radar operator while stationed there and the base that he was at was used for the U2 Program. It is generally accepted that Lee new something about the U2 Program as it was his Job.

In 1959, the head of the CIA’s counter intelligence unit, James Jesus Angleton, was looking for a suspected Soviet Mole. James Jesus (“the Ghost”) came up with an elaborate idea to ferret out the mole and the funding, logistics and planning to find the mole were arranged by Richard Bissell. The plan involved sending a false defector to the Soviet Union, one who the KGB would have interest in as someone with knowledge of the U2 Spy Plane Program. Lee Harvey Oswald arrived in Moscow on October 16, 1959. He returned to the United States with his wife Marina in May 1962.

In the Interim, (April 1961) Bissell and his cohorts (Cabell and Dulles) had been fired by JFK for their execution of the Bay Of Pigs Invasion behind Kennedy's back.

JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963

Cuban Veterans from the Bay of Pigs and their CIA handlers, from other attempts to kill Castro, are believed to have comprised the kill teams. Lee Harvey Oswald was the Patsy.

Richard Bissell was in the unique position of having the ability to both arrange for an assassination team (Bay of Pig Cubans) and the Patsy (Lee Harvey Oswald), whom he had known from the U2 Program and his use in the False Defector Program.

Richard Bissell was the architect of the plan to assassinate JFK


In any event, Robert Mueller's mother was named Alice Truesdale.

>Her Father was Melville Douglas Truesdale. >His Sister was Marie Truesdale. (Aunt of Alice.) >Marie Truesdale married Richard M. Bissell Sr.. (Uncle of Alice) >Their son was Richard M. Bissell Jr. (First Cousin of Alice)


Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd, son of Alice, is therefore the First cousin once removed of Richard Bissell Jr., the man who planned the JFK Assassination.

Bonus Deep State Mueller Relation.

Mueller’s wife Ann Cabell Standish Mueller is distantly related to General Charles Cabell and his brother, Earle Cabell, the Mayor of Dallas in 1963.

The Apollo Affair, Missing Uranium and Katy Perry (Part 2)

In Part 1, we addressed the spurious connections to Katy Perry by way of her early 20th Century Industrialist great uncle Charles M. Schwab. We also introduced Apollo Industries and the companies it was formed from in the late 1950s. In this posting we critique the existing research that has been published regarding the Apollo Affair.

Spies are Going to Spy

The Research and Literature about the Apollo Affair is now relatively extensive. Through de-classifications, FOIA requests and inquiry, numerous documents have been released over the pat 10 years that clarify the story, which can be summarized as:

1. Pro-Israel American nuclear scientists founded NUMEC in 1956; then
2. Merged it with Apollo Industries in 1958; for the purposes of
3. Diverting Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU); for
4. The Israeli Nuclear Weapons program; and
5. When it was discovered by the FBI, and/or Nuclear Industry Regulators/Military Intelligence, the CIA (or elements of the CIA) covered it up.

The conventional wisdom is that the Pro-Israeli Nuclear Scientists were working with Israeli spies (the Mossad) to facilitate the entire transaction and it looks like a lot of research has been devoted to proving that thesis.

In our view the effort to pin the Apollo Affair on the Mossad will hardly result in a "Eureka!" moment due to its obviousness. That Israeli intelligence would work to acquire nuclear weapon capabilities is hardly a surprise and pursuing that angle is counter-productive. Assigning blame to the Israeli's gets awfully close to touching the third rail and ending the discussion or halting furthering more research. 

The more interesting and important question is "who in the United States government or industry sold the HEU to the Israelis?" That is, under the assumption that Israeli spies (the Mossad) were doing what spies do, acquiring the secrets of another country (the USA), who cares about the motivations and key players on the Israeli side?

Treasonous actions on the part of American Citizens is more interesting and relevant. (Full disclosure, I am pro-Zionist and like the idea of Israel being able to defend itself. Also, I am Catholic, have never been to Israel, and think the pursuit of Israeli spies while trying to get to the bottom of the Apollo Affair is mostly a distraction to the extent the "pursuers" (writers, researchers, historians) can be cut off with charges of being Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist, etc..)

US Nuclear Secrets for Sale

Apollo, PA

As mentioned, there is plenty of information about how the HEU went out. Most of it seems to have disappeared from the NUMEC plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh) between the time NUMEC merged with Apollo Industries in 1958, and 1965. 

However the HEU left the plant, fake shipping documents, concealed in other shipments, diverted through other foreign ports, discovering how the money flowed in for the HEU from the ultimate Israeli "customers" would answer the more important question of, who the actual sellers were on the American side? 

The "front" sellers on the American side were of course the officers and directors of NUMEC, including Zalman Shapiro, the original founder of NUMEC. It seems highly unlikely that Shapiro and the rest of the corporate officers were entirely in it for the money. That is, as an active and committed Zionist, it seems more likely Shapiro's primary motivation would be to help Israel defend itself (expand its borders, etc.), rather than make tons of money and sell out his home country, the USA, and probably eventually risk a visit to the electric chair.

Zalman Shapiro (1920-2016)
Born: Canton, OH
Johns Hopkins (BA '42/Phd '48)
Died:  Pittsburgh, PA

Even if Shapiro and his corporate cohorts were not motivated by the money, it would not surprise us if some people were. On the American side, their had to be agencies and organizations that were willing to look the other way. 

The fact that the CIA and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and probably some components of the Military helped in the cover-up after the HEU was discovered missing implies their were some beneficiaries in those agencies and/or military branches. Looking at Shapiro slightly differently, if he was acting on his own, on behalf of Israel, and was pocketing millions of dollars for his sole benefit, then we doubt the FBI would have any qualms about arresting a member of "The Tribe" him, and eventually giving him the "Rosenberg" treatment.

How to Launder Millions of Dollars or Otherwise Conceal the Deal

The HEU definitely went out. How much, why, when, and how it left the NUMEC plant to eventually end up in Israel (likely the Dimona plant in the Negev Desert) is generally understood. 

Someone definitely got paid. The how much, why, when and how, concerning the money that the Israeli's used to purchase the HEU, is not generally understood and it hardly looks like those questions have been asked.

Briefly, money does not necessarily mean “cash.” A better word than money is “consideration.” How much and what was the “consideration” that Israel paid to purchase a few hundred pounds of HEU from the NUMEC plant near Pittsburgh, roughly between 1958 and 1965. Consideration could include actual cash, but also, publicly traded equity (common and preferred shares), private equity, private loans, bonds and notes issued by the corporation, bonds issued by the US Government and other third parties (sovereign bonds, other corporations), hard assets (a fleet of ships, gold bars) soft assets (royalties and rights) and virtually anything else that has value. 

Some forms of consideration are easier to transfer as payment for “goods and services” than others. It is physically easier to transfer shares of publicly traded equity as payment than it is to transfer ownership of a fleet of ships, or physically deliver gold, or suitcases of cash. The same holds for publicly traded and registered bonds and some rights (options, futures and warrants.)

Moving publicly traded equity can still be done relatively anonymously. In the 1950s and 1960s, it would have been much easier. Today, computer’s allow regulators and brokerage compliance departments to monitor and flag suspicious transactions between the firm and a counter-party or directly between counter-parties. The lack of rules regarding insider sales, reporting and disclosure requirements for insiders, and a whole host of other laws, regulations and internal policies, made it much easier to move shares anonymously in those days, compared to today, and it is still done today.

In Part 3 of this series, we will take a closer look at the transaction mechanics involved in using public shares to move money (consideration) anonymously and the roll NUMEC’s predecessor companies could play in the process.

Blind Item #11

This is a huge break in the investigation. She was still married to him and she received some new information from three people about the death of this A list celebrity. That information has now caused police in the country where the death occurred to question their initial determination of suicide.

Ottavia Bourdain?

Blind Item #8

The twisted f**k of the day goes to this A list celebrity who arranged with the billionaire molester for a sexual fantasy. Apparently a teen was hired who was no more than 16 and could have been as young as 13 or 14 to pretend to be a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp. Yeah, it went like you would expect. The contract employee who overheard a great deal of it, quit and even called the police, but they refused to do anything because the billionaire pays many of the spouses of the police officers six figures a year for "consulting" work.

Blind Item #7

You know what has not been discussed the past few days? How this foreign born convicted child molester/child porn producer managed to run around the world basically unimpeded. Even after he was brought in by the feds to supposedly help them out, there he was, gone again in an instant. That former head of an agency had a whole lot to do with it. Don't ever kid yourself that a child pornographer wouldn't be allowed to run free if someone high up decided it would be in the best interests of the higher up. Drug runners are allowed to go free. Killers are allowed to go free. You think someone molesting kids and filming them having sex mattered to this agency head? Was the higher up given money or information to let the child molester run free? I don't know, but the hundreds, if not thousands of kids abused in that network need answers.

Most Guesses are George Nader (Mueller witness as the pornographer and james comey as the higher up.)

Blind Item #15 - Reader Blind Item

In this day and age of full transparency, there is one operation the CIA ran that has still not been revealed. It wasn’t so much to accomplish a mission but to test out a theory on popularity and celebrity. Many years ago, a plan was hatched to see if a celebrity could be created, that is an intelligence operative become a celebrity and then the long term plan was to sue this person to mould public opinion the way that that the intelligence agencies wish. As a test, a young military intelligence agent took a new name and identity even changing his country of origin. He had the look and they made the connections and soon he was in films achieving leading man status. His rise was quick as was his almost complete disappearance five or six years later going from Hollywood films to the occasional TV show appearance and straight to video movies coupled with years of no activity at all. This was due to changing priorities at the CIA as well as the feeling they had proved their point so he was given a huge pension and allowed to pursue acting when he felt like it but without the supercharged backing. He was so into the role that he didn’t say a word about it to any of his partners (one of whom was a very famous female sex symbol to a certain generation) before his death. It’s ironic because one of his leading man roles in his heyday was in this film where identity was a theme.

Person of Interest - Christina Bagley Rocca

Christine Bagley Rocca

It's always nice to see a family business stay intact even after the founders have all passed. As many family owned businesses understand, there is hardly any guarantees the sons and daughters of the original founders will work as hard as their parents did to keep a company running.

Luckily for the CIA, Christina Bagley Rocca has been a good steward that her father Tennet H. "Pete" Bagley started with her father in law Ray Rocca.

...from Wikipedia ("B." is for Bagley, not that Wikipedia could be expected to not censure the reference.)

President George W. Bush then named Rocca as the United States Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva and Ambassador Rocca held this post from August 2006 until January 2009. There, she represented the U.S. during nuclear disarmament talks and negotiations related to the Biological Weapons Convention and the peaceful use of space.

Upon leaving government service in 2009, Rocca joined the consulting firm Visión Américas.

Previous Jobs:

• United States Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs from 2001 to 2006
• Central Intelligence Agency as a staff operations officer - 1982 to 1997

Pedigree:

Pete Bagley

Christine Bagley Rocca's father was famed Cold War spy, Tennet H. ‘Pete’ Bagley. Pete “was the CIA handler of Yuri Nosenko, a KGB officer who defected to the United States with information about accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.” 

Pete himself came from a prestigious family. His father was and Admiral and his two brothers were also Admirals. His mother's uncle was Admiral William D. Leahy who was Franklin Roosevelt's Chief of Staff and the first "de facto" Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during WWII (the position would officially be created later.)

James Jesus Angleton - 'The Ghost'

Any number of arguments have been made that Pete Bagley was a straight shooter and was not part of the subsequent cover-up of the JFK Assassination or, alternatively, many have argued that he did assist in the cover up until he died in 2014 at the age of 88. Pete worked under Chief of CIA Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton (“the Ghost”.) He was a colleague of…

Ray Rocca

…Ray Rocca, the father in law of Christina Bagley Rocca.

Ray Rocca was Deputy Chief of the CIA Counterintelligence Division. Rocca, along with Angleton are generally considered suspects at the CIA who played an important part in the assassination. If not involved in the actual plot, as CIA liaison to the Warren Commission, Rocca was likely part of the subsequent cover-up. He was also in charge of the CIA plot to undermine Jim Garrison Investigation into Clay Shaw.

Quixotic Joust expands on the connections and relatives of Pete Bagley.

***

There are a number of Bagley's that have resided on Gibson Island. Pete's two brothers and father were Admirals and know the Western Shore of Maryland well, from their time in Annapolis. We are still trying to figure which parts of the Bagley clan reside of Gibson and we will update this post when we find out.
