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.

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.

The Epstein Style Blackmail of President Woodrow Wilson - Bush & Mueller Connections Now and Then

We've spent a decent amount of time looking into the motivations behind the push to oust President Trump. We feel pretty confident the Deep State's need to get rid of Trump goes well beyond policy differences between Democrats and Republicans. The Deep State wants to get rid of Trump because he is a real threat to their 100+ year old "franchise."

The "franchise" is the ownership of certain key industries and the cash those industries generate, which allows for a high degree of political influence and the control of non-business institutions (academia, foundations, religious denominations.) High levels of political influence and control of institutions protect or allow the franchise to grow.

A number of authors, both esteemed academics, like Professor Carrol Quigley, and cranks, have argued that the owners of the franchise are not some amorphous collection of businessmen acting independently at a particular point in time because of similar or naturally aligned economic interests. Rather, some of the esteemed and the less than esteemed, authors have argued that those businessmen actively collude and conspire in secret. They have done so through organizations such as the Milner Group, Rhodes Roundtable, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull & Bones and other secret societies.

As Quigley and others have pointed out, the World War I era provided a springboard for the owners of the franchise. We would argue that the out-sized profits earned during the World War I era for a leap in control of important industries, politicians and underlying government bureaucracies, and the non-business/non-government institutions.

Was Woodrow Wilson a Victim of Kompromat?

It looks like WWI was viewed by a loose confederation of industrialists and a few families with vast amounts of inherited wealth as the perfect opportunity to obtain permanent financing for the franchise. Aside from the mainstream view as to how and why WWI was started, and how and why the USA decided to enter the war, there is a decent amount of literature that Woodrow Wilson was essentially under the control of the industrialists and wealthy families. We have heard the argument that Wilson was under control for the simple reason that he was not all that bright and was a pushover. Another argument is that Wilson was blackmailed as noted in the last paragraph below. (Wilson being both "blackmailable" and a "dunce" is also believable.)

  

Original Owners of The Franchise are Still in the Blackmail Business

Every once in a while, a family wealth adviser will throw out the anecdote that most wealthy families will exhaust all of their money within three generations. That is, the heirs of the average wealthy industrialist in 1900 will have usually wasted, squandered, spent whatever they inherited by 1975 (there is no standard for years in a generation [roughly 20 to 30 years].)

Given the ability of heirs, in general, to squander, seeing the same family names associated with both the Woodrow Wilson Administration and Donald Trump Administration leads us to speculate, or even narrow down, who the owners of the Franchise were, and remain.

We don't hear much about Thomas Fortune Ryan much anymore (mentioned above as a financial supporter of Wilson) but the heirs and relatives of his associates are still coming up with plots to protect their positions of power and the broader colluding corporate franchise.

Thomas F. Ryan was one of the founders of the American Tobacco Company with James Buchanan Duke. He was also one of the founders of The Belgian American Coke Ovens Corp.

The Belgian American Coke Ovens Corp. is kind of an obscure sounding company and we are still looking into its origins and what became of it. Nevertheless, it was well capitalized ($143 million in 2019 dollars) at its founding in 1921 and its organizers consist of some of the wealthiest and most influential bankers and industrialists at the time.

Aside from Thomas F. Ryan, George Herbert Walker Bush's grandfather was a board member. The "prominent Belgians" mentioned worked for the Rothschild Bank and then there is Hector Prud'homme. The Prud'homme family is connected through marriage to the Bissell family (Richard Bissell was CIA Director of Plans at the CIA until fired by JFK over the Bay of Pigs debacle.)

Richard Bissell Jr. is also the first cousin once removed from Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd.

 

Triple Conspiracy Special. Before Epstein's Island, there was that Beach House in Solona, California. Trump Coup! Iran/Contra! JFK Assassination!

The idea the Epstein Island was a "honeypot", where the CIA or the Mossad or the Saudi's, Bush's, Clinton's, etc. could maintain their power grip by compromising politicians is not new, though likely more sophisticated and depraved. It was a sub-plot in The God Father 2 (or GF-1, feel free to correct.)

"Never get caught with a live boy or a dead girl", as the saying goes.

The Playboy Mansion was also believed to be a honeypot for politicians and actors that were probably getting to full of themselves for the studio bosses back in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

The level of sophistication has no doubt "improved" since the '60s and '70s. Technology made it easier to both record the activities more surreptitiously and distribution is of course easier with the Internet.

We're are guessing the level of depravity has increased since the Playboy Mansion's "hey-day."

In the 1950s and '60s, a picture of a legal age Bunny canoodling with a corporate executive might have been enough to compromise the businessman. ie. "I'll do anything, just don't show my wife, she will divorce me and we'll be kicked out of Bushwood."

As social norms became more liberal, trying to blackmail a man of importance by threatening to expose an extramarital affair, was not going to cut it.

By the '70s and '80s, exposing a homosexual affair between consenting adults probably wasn't as impactful as a blackmail threat as it was in the '50s and '60s.

One can imagine that at some point the blackmailers started using children. Maybe that was Epstein's contribution to the blackmail industry.

There is probably another level after that. After all, how do you blackmail a Saudi Sheikh who already has four wives under the age of 16?

There was that Beach House in Solona, California

One of the conspirators in the attempt to take out Trump has been around a long time. Stefan Halper was a key player in the Iran/Contra Scandal from back in the 1980s.

As the excerpt below shows, Halper was involved in the S&L Scandal as a founder of Palmer National Bank. The bank owned the note on a Beach House in Solona, California  that looks like it was used as a honeypot.

 D.C. BANK SWEPT UP IN INTRIGUE FUNDS CHANNELED TO NORTH ACCOUNT

PETE BREWTON, OF THE HOUSTON POST STAFF

HOUSTON POST; FINAL Section: National Page: A1

SUNDAY June 10, 1990

 ...Palmer National co-founder Stefan Halper helped set up North's legal defense fund. Halper's name appears in the final entry of North's White House journal under the heading, "Legal Defense Fund."

 Palmer National held a $250,000 note on a California beach house that was used by organized crime associates and figured in the criminal convictions of two S&L figures.

  Palmer National, a relatively small bank with assets under $100 million, occupies a modern building at 1667 K St. N.W....

..... 

Stefan Halper

...Dixon is not believed to be a suspect in the case, however investigators say he purchased the services of 20 call girls, including victim Donna Gentile, for a party at his Solana Beach, Calif., the San Diego Union reported. The nude body of Gentile -- her mouth stuffed with rocks -- was found the day after the two-day party concluded, sources told the newspaper....

Whether or not the beach house was used in the same manner as Epstein's Island retreat, the connection to Halper and his other activities involving Iran/Contra, CIA ops. and dubious financial partners provides some context to his role in pushing the "Russian Dossier" to take out President Trump.

Palmer National Bank's Financial Sponsor was an associate of George Herbert Walker Bush and Carlos Marcello

One of Palmer National Bank's early sources of financing was from Herman K. Beebe Sr.. Beebe was a key figure in the S&L crises through his ownership and/or self-dealing that caused the collapse of several Texas banks in the 1980's. It is believed he helped fund Iran/Contra and related Mena, Arkansas activities through some of these banks and is otherwise known to have raised money for "Poppy" Bush's campaigns over the years.

Carlos Marcello

...Beebe is alleged to have ties to New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello, and the Post reported ties between Beebe and Renda, a New York money broker who allegedly is associated with the Gambino and Lucchese crime families in New York. Link to article Oct. 8, 1988.

Carlos Marcello is often considered to have been a key player in the JFK Assassination.

Vaccara’s important book identifies Carlos Marcello, the powerful Mafia chief of New Orleans, as the mandante of the assassination, its chief organizer. Marcello – born Calogero Minacori in Tunis, to Sicilian parents....  Link to Article Mar. 20, 2014.

Quija Boards on Gibson Island

Did Deep State Debutantes have Dalliances with Purveyors of the Dark Arts on Gibson Island?

The Jeffrey Epstein situation has reinvigorated the idea that some components of the “Deep State” have occultists leanings. The pagan symbols on his Island and the general “Eyes Wide Shut” theme of secret sex parties for billionaires seem like things a practitioner of the dark arts would be into.

The Deep State and Black Magic have always been thought to be interconnected, and one only needs to tune into the History Channel to see how Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Bohrman got their ball rolling with the help of a Quija board and some “ancient and “secret” Teutonic Knight rituals. Those Nazi’s and their followers no doubt brought their knowledge of séance protocol, in addition to their Rocket Science notebooks, when Operation Paperclip was in full swing.

According to some, the occultist practices of the Deep State are evident in any number of American institutions and conduits of American Culture. (Jay Dyer – Esoteric Hollywood: Sex, Cults and Symbols in Film, is an excellent primer on the subject.)

Personally, I would not be surprised if many Deep State Denizens were into worshiping Satan and casting spells. I would not be surprised if some of those Denizens were into some really bizarre, criminal acts that would sicken normal people.

On the other hand, I can imagine that the Deep Stater’s at the very top of the pyramid mostly use Satan worshiping tropes to persuade their subordinates to do what they want them to do, whether or not those “tippy top” Deep Staters believe in black magic or not. I can imagine George Soros and David Rockefeller laughing as they tell Henry Kissinger that he has to tell Hillary Clinton she can be a “high-priestess” in some sort of super-secret coven if she uses her position as Secretary of State to get rid of a few hundred thousand Syrians because Moloch demands a “sacrifice.”

Meanwhile, some other group of Soros and Rockefeller subordinates, who could care less about Moloch, are negotiating leases for heavy equipment, and lining up construction financing, for the pipeline they plan to build, which will go right through the territory Hillary’s slaughtered and displaced Syrians used to live.

Was Barbara Bush the Daughter of Aleister Crowley?

Probably not, as the persistent Internet rumor seems to have been started as an April Fools Joke. The idea that Barbara Bush is the Daughter of Aleister Crowley is not completely dismissible as it seems that Barbara’s mother, Paula Pierce participated in “Sex magick” and related occultist practices during the 1920’s with Aleister Crowley. The only point here is that the Paula Pierce, a daughter of an Eastern Establishment family, was into the occult and types like her had the money and the means to experiment in circles they normally would not be associated with, like Crowley and his accolades.

A Family with the Last Name “Crowley” on Gibson Island

As has been previously noted, Gibson Island, is the full time or summer residence for many members of the Deep State, especially some of the original or early founders of the Military Industrial Complex. The Walker Family (as in George Herbert Walker Bush) had (or may still have) family members on the island and of course Barbara Pierce married into the Walker clan. Naturally, we are curious if the Crowley’s of Gibson Island are in any way related to the famous occultist Aleister Crowley, notwithstanding any potential blood relationship to the Bush and Walker families.

Public records show Stephen R. Crowley (born 1945) and Susanna (nee Smedley) Crowley (1951) as owners (or previous owners) of a residence on Gibson Island. They appear to be the parents of Anna Quintin Crowley (1974) and Christian Crowley (1972.)

At first glance, the Crowley do not look like occultists or members of the Deep State, or worth spending too much time digging into public ancestry records. That still might me true, but then Christian Crowley, who appears to be the son, has the picture to the right on his mylife.com page (the free abbreviated portion.)

The picture of the apparent Mr. Christian Crowley may be completely innocuous, still it seems like a weird picture to use for a profile photo, and makes us wonder if it has a deeper meaning.

If it was just the picture, we would have moved on from Christian. However, he also goes by the name "Christian S.L. Crowley."

We thought the middle initials "S.L." would help narrow down the search results when looking for anything else of interest in the public realm. It is still not apparent what the "S.L." stands for and it is possible the mylife.com information about Stephen R. Crowley and Susanna S. Crowley, with respect to Christian is erroneous in whole or in part.

S.L. Macgregor in full garb.

In probably a coincidence though, the initials "S.L." were also used by an influential 19th and early 20th century occultist who went by the name S.L. MacGregor Mathers. The Wikipedia bio for Mathers curiously uses the entire name Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, however, his published works mostly show only "S.L. Macgregor Mathers". (Our point is that S.L. Macgregor Mathers seems to be how he was known, rather than the full name, like the way Thomas Stearns Eliot is better known as T.S. Eliot.)

Per Wikipedia, S.L. MacGregor Mathers (1854 to 1918), "... is primarily known as one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a ceremonial magic order of which offshoots still exist today."
...

Clearly, S.L. Macgregor Mathers was an early influence on Aleister Crowley.

"Crowley was initiated into the Outer Order of the Golden Dawn on 18 November 1898 by the group's leader, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers."

As noted above, the S.L. initials used by Christian Crowley and S.L. Macgregor Mathers, who was an early influence on occultist Aleister Crowley, are likely just a coincidence, but we plan to take a closer look.

Nixon's "Texas Oilmen" send "Texas Oil Daughter" to say Trump is Deranged - A Mossbacher makes an appearance

"Texas Oilmen" are sometimes blamed for the JFK Assassination. Nixon also had problems with Texas Oilmen. The daughter of one of the "Texas Oilmen" took a figurative shot at Trump right after the 2016 election.

There is not a definitive list of "Texas Oilmen", but a few names are often mentioned. In JFK research circles, the names Clint Murchison, Haroldson L. Hunt and David Howard Byrd, often appear. In more recent years, George H.W. Bush is often included in the Texas Oilman Cabal of likely JFK assassination organizers. Texas Oilmen also likely also played a roll in Watergate with some evidence that they bankrolled the Watergate Burglary. 

Dee Mosbacher

"Texas Oilmen" are mentioned on the Nixon tapes. It is believed Nixon is at least referencing George H.W. Bush and his eventual Commerce Secretary, Robert Mosbacher.

The original Texas Oilmen, whether involved in the JFK or Watergate presidential take downs, were of course too old, or dead, to play to much of a roll in the attempted take down of President Trump. Nevertheless, at least one original oilman was able to pass the coup torch to his daughter.

Before President Trump even took office, Dee Mosbacher, the daughter of Robert Mosbacher co-authored the following letter to President Obama, expressing "grave concern" about Trump's mental  fitness for office. Her husband/wife, "Life Partner", etc. Nanette Gartrell also signed the letter.
