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

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.

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?
