Person of Interest - Michael Bagley - Jellyfish Partners - Update 3

Additional information about Michael Bagley of Jellyfish Partners.

We started looking into Michael Bagley last week for one reason, and then quickly found him interesting for another reason.

Per the story posted on the Daily Beast on July 12, 2019, this guy Michael Bagley was recently arrested for money laundering.

D.C. Intel Exec Nabbed in Feds’ Narco Money-Laundering Sting

Michael Bagley allegedly thought he was working for a Mexican cartel, but the FBI was listening in.

To summarize, Bagley was busted in a sting whereby the FBI convinced him he could make some coin if only he laundered some cash for a Mexican drug dealer.

While Bagley sits in a Federal Pen and thinks about what he did, his bio alone raises a lot of red flags. For one, he is a former Blackwater contractor. Second, his colleague is on the board of a Haitian Charity that also has lung transplant surgeon on its board. Third, Bagley may have tried to set up General Flynn in an impossibly stupid plan to support Iranian Democracy proponents, while simultaneously linking Trump and/or Flynn to the "Alt-Right" moron who organized the Nazi part of the program at the Charlottesville false flag debacle.

Person of Interest - Michael Bagley - Jellyfish Partners - Update 2

First Bagley Post Update (Updated July 17)

First Bagley Article (July 15)

Did Michael Bagley trying to spin another type of narrative to take out Trump via General Flynn?

To summarize the longer article at this link, Jason Reza Jorjani a lecturer at the NJ Institute of Technology, who also founder of AltRight Corporation and AltRight.com, wrote a since removed lengthy article that made a number of interesting, or at least outlandish, claims concerning the likely direction of policy towards Iran under Trump.

Jorjani, whose father was an Iranian immigrant (Jorjani was born in NYC), supposedly was contacted in the summer of 2016 by a mysterious Mr. "X" with a proposal to assist in Jorjani's efforts to promote regime change in Iran. 

"To sum up: the London-based X and his associates control (in some shadowy, unofficial way) or at least influence the Blackwater-linked private intelligence firm Jellyfish. General Michael Flynn, who became Trump’s first National Security Adviser, worked unofficially for Jellyfish while crafting Trump’s policies for Iran and the Arab world."

Deep State Plan to Connect Trump to Right Wing Nuts

Jason Jorjani apparently collaborated with alt-right leader Richard Spencer at one point via the AltRight Corporation he had founded. Michael Bagley met with Jorjani and apparently suggested he could help Jorjani wrest control from Richard Spencer who had taken over. The takeover would include new financing for the pretty much illiquid AltRight Corp. via a Trump Administration approved "black budget."

The Bagley and Mr. X plan gets stupider, with a longer term investment plan to build cities in North Africa (aka concentration camps) to house intercepted Muslims before they got to Europe.

As the author dutifully points out, the plan to fund AltRight Corp. makes no sense and the concentration camp idea is just idiotic. As noted, the overtures of Mr. X and Bagley, while using General Flynn as a carrot to potentially provide some legitimacy, sounds more like a "disinfo op", by connecting the Trump Administration to Altright Corp., which at the time was lead by Spencer. 

"Richard Bertrand Spencer (born 1978) is an American neo-Nazi and white supremacist. He is president of the National Policy Institute (NPI), a white supremacist think tank,..."

Spencer is best remembered for speaking at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville in August 2017.

Person of Interest - Michael Bagley - Jellyfish Partners - Update 1

It is still not clear if Michael Bagley of Jellyfish Partners a "private intelligence firm" is related to the Bagley's of Gibson Island and JFK era CIA spy Pete Bagley.

Nonetheless, Jellyfish is turning out to be an interesting company, possibly relevant to General Michael Flynn, or at least well connected.

As noted on Monday's post,

"On Wednesday, federal law enforcement raided the house and seized the electronics of executive Michael Bagley in connection with a money-laundering investigation. Federal prosecutors charged Bagley with money laundering after he allegedly helped confidential FBI sources posing as narco cartel representatives hide what he thought was more than $250,000 in illicit proceeds, according to court documents." The Daily Beast - July 12, 2019

This Mother Jones Article from December 2013 goes into more details about Bagley's business. As described, Bagley traded in "inside" policy and political information.

"Jellyfish collects information about what’s happening behind the scenes and rushes it to its corporate clients so they can make investments based on things like forthcoming regulations or tax code tweaks."

Bagley's original associates, According to Mother Jones, include;

"... Academi (formerly Xe, previously Blackwater) and Able Danger, a Pentagon program that was said to have identified Mohamed Atta before September 11."

The article also quotes Jack Abramoff and Heather Podesta, which both separately, opine that trading in the types of secrets Bagley trades in is "sleazy."

Whether or not Michael Bagley's public business is sleazy or illegal or not, money-laundering definitely is, which is what he was arrested for last week.

Person of Interest - Michael Bagley - Jellyfish Partners

The name "Bagley" is a CIA and/or "Deep State" name and it is also a "Gibson Island" name.

Tennent H. “Pete” Bagley is the most familiar Bagley. He was a CIA officer best known for being the handler of KGB defector Yuri Nosenko during the Cold War. Pete Bagley was also involved in looking into connections between the KGB and Lee Harvey Oswald, following the assassination of JFK. Other semi-famous Bagley's include his father, Admiral David Worth Bagley (1883 to 1960) and his brother Admiral David Harrington Bagley (1920 to 1992) and another brother Admiral Worth H. Bagley.

The Daily Beast reported on July 12, 2019 "D.C. Intel Exec Nabbed in Feds’ Narco Money-Laundering Sting"; "Michael Bagley allegedly thought he was working for a Mexican cartel, but the FBI was listening in."

On Wednesday, federal law enforcement raided the house and seized the electronics of executive Michael Bagley in connection with a money-laundering investigation. Federal prosecutors charged Bagley with money laundering after he allegedly helped confidential FBI sources posing as narco cartel representatives hide what he thought was more than $250,000 in illicit proceeds, according to court documents.

We are currently looking into whether Michael Bagley of the article is related to the CIA/Navy Bagley's, some of whom live on Gibson Island.

This article connects General Michael Flynn to Michael Bagley's firm Jellyfish Intel.

...Among the figures that Jorjani names are Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who served briefly as President Trump’s National Security Adviser; Walid Phares, a Right-wing Lebanese Maronite Christian who has advised both Mitt Romney and Donald Trump on Middle East affairs; former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon; Michael Bagley, president of Jellyfish, a private intelligence firm, and former intelligence director of the infamous Blackwater/ Xe /Academi mercenary company (founded by ex-Navy SEAL Erik Prince, brother of Betsy DeVos, Trump’s Secretary of Education); and a mysterious London-based figure Jorjani refers to only as “X,” a fellow based in some sort of secret society with tentacles in many pies, including the White Nationalist London Forum, Iranian exile groups, billion-dollar petroleum deals, and overthrowing the government of Venezuela...

The there is this other Michael Bagley, who sadly appears to have drowned nears Fells Point in Baltimore. He was only 23 years old.

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.

Gibson Island, Maryland

Offender List, Gibson Islanders, WR Grace

In the ongoing effort to find out who lives on Gibson Island, or once lived on Gibson Island, the name of Alexander Troup Daignault shows up in some compound google searches.

Mr. Daignault, it turns out, is on Maryland's sex offender registry list for a July 2012 conviction. Additional details are available on the Maryland Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services website.

Mr. Daignault's primary residence is listed as 1800 Skippers Row, Gibson Island, MD.

Person of Interest - Don Baker - 3Di Technologies

Affiliates and Connections to Transportation Logistics International (aka Daher-TLI)

While looking for information on John Rodenhouse, the name of Don Baker popped up as a colleague of John Rodenhouse at several companies.

• Rodenhouse and Baker are both founders of 3Di Technologies LLC.
• 3Di Technologies is a subsidiary of The Diplomat Group of Companies.
• Don Baker also worked for Atlas Metal Industries. There are more than one "Atlas Metal" companies, but Baker's company appears to be this one in the United Arab Emirates. Atlas Link Here.
• Atlas Metal makes trailers and truck bodies. The photo shows one of the company's products. We thought it looked like one of those people cages you see in ISIS videos.
