Our Fascination with Gibson Island, Maryland

It was less than a year since Gibson Island was mentioned on the George Webb Youtube Channel and McDuff: Kennedy's Man to Smash the CIA  ( I do not exactly remember the context for the first mention of Gibson Island, but it was likely related to the motivation of Webb’s researchers and associated sleuths to take a closer look at Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd.

15 miles from Gibson Island to Russian Retreat, by Sea Plane

Bob Mueller the third, or RSM3, was already deep into his investigation of Trump, when the researchers decided to take a closer look at the guy in an effort to discern his modus operandi and who his co-conspirators might be.

Taking the MSM’s narrative of who Bob Mueller is, one was left with the impression that Bob came from a solidly middle class background, and through perseverance, hard work and a reputation for fairness, rose through the ranks of the DOJ and FBI to eventually become FBI Director under George W. Bush. After only a slightly extra effort to look more closely at RSM3’s biography, it soon became clear that Robert Swan Mueller the 3^rd, his parents, and his extended family belong to a very small and very elite group of Eastern Establishment “Old Money” Families, that are more akin to the extended British Royal family, but with significantly more power and influence, and significantly less necessity and desire to have the public acknowledge their existence, or exist at all. We prefer not to use the term, but the Mueller’s are the “Illuminati” that authors like David Ickes, or Hip Hop Stars like Jay Z and Kanye West have rapped about. Since “Illuminati” is a little too esoteric, and implies dark robes, chanting, and silly initiations, we’ll just say Robert Swan Mueller is a member of the “Deep State”, or one step higher, a “Founding Family member of the Deep State.” (Hillary Clinton is probably also Deep State, but she is a “self made” member, and was not born into her position of power. ie. She is not a Deep State Founder.)

The George Webb followers that decided to take a closer look at Robert Swan Mueller the 3^rd, relatively quickly, noticed that he was a resident of Gibson Island, Maryland, and more interestingly, so was his father (Robert Swan Mueller the 2^nd ) and grandfather (Robert Swan Mueller the 1^st.) That the Mueller’s had a summer residence on an Island in the Chesapeake Bay is not a big deal and does not say much of who the Mueller’s are. The origins and development of Gibson Island say everything about the Mueller’s position in the Deep State’s pyramid shaped, organizational structure, which is at the top.

In the colonial times, up until the 1920’s Gibson Island was a sparsely populated spit of land, just north of Annapolis, and 20 miles south of Baltimore, that was used for farming, or as a base for local fisherman and duck hunters. The modern development of Gibson Island began in 1921 when William Stuart Symington, Jr. of Baltimore, bought the Island for $163,000.00 ($2.3 million in 2019 dollars.)

The development plans included the construction of residential homes (mostly for summer use) a golf club and a yacht club. Gibson Island was marketed as a place where wealthy families from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia could mingle with their own each summer, play golf and sail the expanses of Chesapeake Bay. As an Island, with only a small causeway from the mainland, Gibson provided the privacy the wealthy elite required, when planning a New World Order.

There are certainly other wealthy enclaves that have (and still do) separate the hoi-polloi from the riff- raff. Between Kennebunkport in Maine, and Jupiter Island, you have Martha’s Vineyard, Naushon Island, Nantucket and the Hamptons, for the Boston and New York crowds, the Northern Jersey Shore towns (Rumson, Monmouth Beach, Spring Lake) for other New Yorkers, Southern Jersey Shore Towns (Atlantic City, Cape May, Love Ladies) for the Philadelphia Main Liners, Hilton Head, Jekyll Island, and various other getaway places by the sea.

Gibson Island seems a little more special compared to the ones mentioned above. A number of the founding families and “early settlers” of Gibson either already were incredibly wealthy, such as the Rockefellers, the extended Dupont family, the Garretts, or had gotten rich from the US entry into World War One. Taking the cynical view, it looks like Gibson Island was developed as a vacation spot for World War 1 war profiteers, which among others, included the Walkers, Symingtons, Bakers and Muellers.

The Perfect Place to Plan a New World Order, and Get Rich Doing It

The conventional wisdom is that World War 1 started because some Serbian killed an Archduke causing all hell to break loose.

The conspiracy wisdom has it that the disciples of Cecil Rhodes secretly pushed the British and Germans into war in order to create a British led worldwide hegemony that would be comprised of its colonies and former colonies, including the United States.

There is no doubt there were a number American anglophiles, eager to assist their British Cousins and there is plenty of literature that goes into the broader idea. Carroll Quigley is considered the most authoritative expert on the subject. What ever the motivations of the British were, there is a decent amount of evidence to suggest US industrialists were eager to profit from the initial conflict (before the US entered) and after the US entered.

The Gibson Island founding families, mentioned above, certainly benefited from the WWI, and a few of us would argue that the money making did not stop after the Great War ended. The early Gibson Islanders, like the DuPonts and Bakers and Muellers made fortunes selling fertilizer chemicals, nitrates, phosphates, etc. used to manufacture ammunition and explosives, for example.

Over the next 100 years, the old idea of War profiteering remained a consistent theme. Those same companies also supplied most of the chemicals for WWII munitions. The various subsidiaries of Standard Oil (Rockefeller family) supplied petrochemicals to the British and Nazi’s, before the USA got involved, and eventually just the allies.

The development of the Gibson Island family businesses gets more interesting after World War 2. Whereas conventional chemicals were supplied to conventional weapons manufacturers before and during WW2, the effort to get American Industries into the nuclear weapons business may well have started on Gibson Island.

We will present more evidence of Gibson Island skulduggery in future posts. The proximity of Gibson Island to Annapolis is one of several interesting angles we plan to follow. It is worth noting that Gibson Island was home to a few Admirals and CIA/OSS characters. It also hosted some important annual conferences on nuclear and related technologies. Finally, its proximity to the Russian Retreat and holding areas for Paperclip Nazi’s makes one wonder how deep the Gibson Island Gang goes.

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.

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.
