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.

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.
