Who was Edward Pierpont Morgan? Was Charles W. Lyons a CIA Cut Out? Did Otepka run across a Nazi Rat Line?

We ran across Mr. Morgan when looking for information about Charles W. Lyons in the maryferrell.org JFK Assassination Archives

Edward Pierpont Morgan was an FBI agent from 1940 to 1947. He left in the FBI in 1947 and went into private practice in the law firm of Welch, Mott & Morgan in Washington D.C.

Edward, with the middle name "Pierpont" and last name "Morgan", seems like he should be related, in some way, to the John Pierpont Morgan clan of banking fame. So far though, that does not seem to be the case. Nevertheless Edward P. Morgan is still an interesting fellow.

"Edward" is not an unusual name, and neither is "Morgan." "Pierpont" is not a name most people run into often, and when paired with "Morgan", one thinks of J.P. Morgan, the famed financier.

In fact, Edward Pierpont Morgan's father is named John Pierpont Morgan, just like the famous one, but he is not the famous one, or his almost as famous son, JP Morgan Jr.

The famous J.P. Morgan's gets the "Pierpont" name from his mother Juliet Pierpont (1816 to 1884.)

The name Pierpont of the less famous J.P. Morgan does not look like a family name. J.P. Morgan, the father of Edward Pierpont Morgan, was born in 1892 and we could not find any preceding "Pierponts" in his family tree.

Charles W. Lyons

Charles W. Lyons has been mentioned on the George Webb and "McDuff" Youtube channels. Charles W. Lyons was an FBI agent in the Washington field office.

Charles W. Lyons has merited attention by George Webb and "McDuff" under the broad and abbreviated thesis that:

• Operation Paperclip, the OSS/CIA plan to bring German and Nazi rocket scientists to the USA after World War II, was considerably larger than the 1,600 scientist estimate conventionally used.
• All types of scientists were brought over (not just rocket and aerospace experts) such as psychologists, psychiatrists, pharmaceutical chemists, and others.
• Non-scientists, including former members of the SS, snipers, and assassins were included.
• Many were "rinsed" through the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellite states, and/or Soviet client states like the Ukraine and Belarus (White Russia.)
• A German, who can speak Russian, is a lot easier to get past State Department and FBI visa checks if he looks more like a defector and less like a former Nazi.
• MacDuff's father was charged with investigating the influx of rinsed Nazi's via CIA channels.

What were Mr. Lyons and Mr. Morgan Talking About?

On August 8, 1950, another agent in the Washington Field Office, William Leece was assigned a case that was related to some accusations made by Senator Joe McCarthy. The linked memo says that Lyons was attached to the case on October 2, 1950, but then adds that both Lyons and Leece had been jointly assigned to this investigation on August 8, 1950. 

The memo, dated November 19, 1952, seems to try to clear up some confusion as to whether Lyons was assigned to the case when an interview of Morgan was conducted sometime between August and October of 1950. The relevance of the date of Lyons' assignment stems from the interview that Lyons conducted (as well as Agent Robinette) with Morgan, "but since the interview was negative, it was not reported."

In short, Lyons was supposed to have told his superiors at the FBI Field Office that he spoke with Morgan, and should have reported what was said. The failure of Lyons to report his interview with Morgan prompted a letter recommending "censure for Special Agent Lyons..."

John Pierpont Morgan thought very highly of himself

Morgan had been out of the FBI for three years when he was interviewed by Agent Lyons. He had joined the law firm of Welch, Mott & Morgan and became National Director of the Office of Price Stability (OPS) in 1951. It was at his desk at the OPS when Morgan started to become a real pain-in-the-neck for the FBI, apparently "mouthing-off" that he would eventually be Hoover's replacement, but more annoyingly, poaching promising FBI agents and FBI Academy students for the OPS. 

As the January 13, 1951 memo below indicates, it looks the CIA had, or was in the process of, recruiting Mr. Morgan. We will surmise that Morgan was really recruiting for the CIA and the OPS was more likely a cover.  

We'll also speculate that Morgan was recruiting Charles W. Lyons (or already had) for CIA work. 

Charles W. Lyons next shows up in Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's Office

Joan Mellen provides the necessary background about the persecution of Otto Otepka here. 

Otepka was the "Deputy Director of the State Department Office of Security. This meant that Otepka was in charge of granting security clearances for all State Department personnel."

He supposedly ran afoul of RFK for denying a security clearance to a political appointee. The standard story is that RFK decided to make life miserable for Otepka, and that included filling Otepka's office with his own loyalists, including Charles W. Lyons.

... Now four more Kennedy people arrived at the Office of Security to keep watch over Otepka. They included Joseph E. Rosetti, who had served in John F. Kennedy’s congressional office; Massachusetts Kennedy intimate, Robert J. McCarthy; and Charles W. Lyons, also from Massachusetts. These three were joined by David I. Belisle, a National Security Agency operative and friend of Walter Sheridan’s from his days at NSA. Belisle was to serve as Otepka’s immediate superior.

The alternative Joan Mellen theory

As Joan Mellen notes, the harassment of Otepka for slow footing security clearances for JFK political appointees seems excessive. 

As Joan Mellen also notes, Otepka, in his position at the State Department, started asking a lot of question about a guy named Lee Harvey Oswald, whose file, per standard processes, fell on his desk. Otepka's interest and questions about Lee Harvey Oswald is what prompted the harassment. 

Joan Mellen argues that Oswald, as a CIA asset, was on RFK's radar from early on in the JFK administration, because Oswald was part of an RFK/JFK plan to eventually take out Castro. This argument is further strengthened by RFK's post JFK assassination actions to supposedly way-lay the Jim Garrison investigation, and otherwise try to limit his pre-JFK assassination tracking of Oswald's whereabouts. 

The alternative, alternative, George Webb and "McDuff" theory

If you are a regular follower of George Webb and John O'Loughlin (aka, McDuff: Kennedy's Man to Smash the CIA) then you know McDuff's father worked at the FBI during the JFK administration. As the story goes (and we'll make corrections or amend if we get the story wrong), FBI Agent McDuff was put in charge of examining the files of thousands of European emigres to the USA after World War 2 and figure out which ones were actually Nazis or some type of war criminal.

The task would be laborious. While the roughly 1,600 "Paper-Clipped" Nazi's had an official excuse to have received a US visa after the war (they were a scientist, or had intelligence to share, etc. [ie. somebody signed off on their entry]), the emigre files on McDuff's desk may have only been suspected, or had been "rinsed." The rinsed group would imply that they would not have been allowed to come to the USA because of their Nazi past. These would include standard Nazi scientists (perhaps not rocket scientists like the Paper Clipped group, but other scientists that might be useful, such as psychiatrists and bio-chemists; the kind that would be useful for a well financed CIA mind control program.) In addition to scientists, their might be an assortment of die-hard militant type Nazis, SS members, and overall, the types of Nazi's that one would need for third world junta support, assassinations,Gladio operations, and assorted country destabilization efforts.

Under that premise, the Nazi's with marks "on their permanent record" and who the CIA wanted for their dirty work, would have needed to have been cleaned and rinsed, in order for them to get past bureaucrats like Otto Otepka.

The working theory is that the Nazi's were rinsed through Eastern Europe and Russia (Belorus and Ukraine) as well as South America and Cuba. For example, a Nazi scientist might be forced to stick it out in the Ukraine for ten years, learn the language and practice their trade. After a while, the Nazi scientist is no longer a Nazi, but a Ukrainian scientist who hates communism and wants to defect to the West.They can then sail through Otepka's visa checks, or people in different agencies with similar mandates.

White Russians in Louisiana 

Whether or not Otepka caught on to the process of rinsing Nazi's into White Russians remains to be seen. It seems likely though, that the CIA did not need Otepka messing up their Nazi rat line. In hindsight, that RFK put Walter Sheridan in charge of watching Otepka, makes it look like a CIA operation, since only years later would JFK researchers surmise that Sheridan was a CIA cut out all along.

That also seems to be the case with Charles W. Lyons, as explained above.

Also years later, it would be Walter Sheridan that pushed the narrative that RFK and JFK were planning to kill Castro, with Oswald in on the effort, and that the "Blow Back" from that plan is what eventually caused Oswald and/or his band of Castro assassins to turn their guns on JFK instead. There are therefore a few possibilities as to why RFK had an interest in Lee Harvey Oswald, and the White Russian community in and around Lafayette, Louisiana a year or two before November 1963;

1. RFK was keeping tabs on LHO Castro assassin team assembly progress.
2. RFK was aware some of the White Russians were likely Nazi's and LHO, having recently returned from White Russia (Minsk) was involved in the rinse and repatriation.
3. Lyons and Sheridan and the CIA in general were spinning stories and pointing fingers at Otepka in attempt to keep RFK out of the loop. In other words, perhaps LHO was in Louisiana to help manage the White Russian Nazi rat line, but Sheridan and his CIA superiors were telling RFK that LHO was rounding up Cubans willing to take a shot at Castro under a covert program started under Eisenhower and Nixon.

Webb and McDuff also suggested the 1953 election of Batista to his second term, and under the pressure of Castro's revolution, caused Batista to cozy up to the American organized crime cabal, which effectively ended Hoover's FBI presence their. The CIA filled the void at this time and started using Cuba as washing and rinsing station for Nazi's looking for entry into the USA.  

Everyone Always Blame RFK

Blaming RFK for his brothers death was a good way for the CIA to deflect the blame from its own likely involvement. Robert Maheu, the "consultant" to Howard Hughes is often given credit for taking the first steps to take out Castro. We won't revisit the intrigue and embellishments of Robert Maheu, nonetheless, one could make the argument that Maheu approached the Mafia, on behalf of the CIA, to assassinate Castro, on the orders of RFK and JFK.

Under the assumption that the Kennedy Brother's orders to kill Castro never existed or were abandoned well before November 1963, then those that continued to push that narrative, were or are likely to still be trying to absolve of any CIA involvement in the death of JFK.

The Robert Maheu narrative naturally comes under suspicion. We think the narrative becomes even more suspicious by noting that Robert Maheu, retained Edward Pierpont Morgan, as his lawyer on matters related to Maheu's business with Howard Hughes.

As referenced above, Edward Pierpont Morgan was in all likelihood a CIA cutout since the early 50's, and also likely recruited FBI agents into the company, such as Charles W. Lyons. As shown in the screen shot below, Morgan was actively pushing the story that Castro hired Oswald to kill JFK, which is a variation of a CIA deflection story, and may have had some credence without the hindsight that Edward Pierpont Morgan was a "Company" man all along.

Ted Gunderson Asking Bill Barr and Robert Swan Mueller III to Look into FBI Obstruction Involving Child Trafficking/Abduction Rings

Ted Gunderson was a former FBI agent who once headed the Los Angeles office and was considered for the job of FBI director. Ted retired from the FBI in about 1980 and set up a private investigation firm that worked on murder and missing persons cases. He is most known for his work related to exposing child sex trafficking and exploitation rings, including the McMartin pre-school case, the Finder's Cult and case of the abduction of Johnny Gosch. Despite Ted's voluminous output of information, including books and videos, and seemingly sincere demeanor, he still has his detractors and their has remained some controversy concerning who he actually worked for and what his true mission was.

Setting Gunderson's sincerity aside, we thought these letters to Bill Barr and Robert Swan Mueller III were noteworthy.

Uranium Connections to the JFK Assassination Deserve More Attention

The Potential Loss of the Oil Depletion Allowance was not a reason to Kill JFK. Controlling the Energy Supply Chain for the Next 100 Years Makes More Sense.

When we hear or read that JFK was assassinated because some "Texas Oil Men" did not want to lose tax breaks under the existing oil depletion allowance, we shake our heads. Tax policy changes do not prompt conspiracies and assassination attempts. It is a lot cheaper and safer to hire some tax lawyers and accountants to find the loopholes that will inevitably exist in whatever new tax law is adopted.

If the preceding 100 years before 1963 were the Petroleum Century, the next 100 years promised to be the Nuclear Century. The common denominator of the 200 year Petroleum and Nuclear centuries is Energy. There is no reason to believe the primary commercial interests that controlled the flow of Petroleum Energy would relinquish any of their control of Energy markets in general, and not position themselves for control of Nuclear Energy for the next 100 years.

In other words, if you want to maintain dominance over "Energy" in the next 100 years, like you did for the previous 100 years, then occasionally taking out a President or two, who will not play ball, is likely an acceptable risk, given the rewards.

Naturally, if you control the Energy markets, you effectively control the Global Economy. I you control the Global Economy, then you effectively control everything else (smaller industries and markets, governments, people, etc.)

Atomic Everything

Since at least the 1970s, when Three Mile Island looked like it would blow-up half of Pennsylvania, the viability and safety of nuclear energy has mostly been viewed skeptically by the public. In the early days of the Atomic Age (shortly after WW2), however, the splitting of the atom held out the promise of unlimited amounts of clean energy for public consumption. Nuclear planes and atomic Studebakers, were just on the horizon by the early 1950s and every serious investor and fly-by-night speculator wanted in on the action; much like the late 1990s Internet craze.

The Cabal that controlled the Petroleum Industry for the previous 100 years, out of the need to maintain its control over governments, markets and people for the next 100 years, needed to control the Nuclear Industry going forward. 

Not Much JFK Era Nuclear Research

We are relative "newbies" to the world of JFK assassination theories. In fact, until the attempted Coup against Trump, we had little interest in lone gunman, grassy knoll conspiracies, or oil depletion allowances. Until 2016, none of the JFK theories out there seemed to have much of a connection to contemporary events. The existence of cabals and conspiracies involved in the JFK assassination seemed irrelevant if true. Nevertheless, the research into Robert Mueller's family tree and the peripheral connections of some Trump coup plotters, like Stefan Halper, to past coup attempts, led us to take a closer look at the JFK assassination, and the various theories about who was behind it.  

The Mueller Family involvement in the nuclear industry forced us to take a closer look at JFK's nuclear energy and weapons policies and see if their were any connections to his assassination.

Even though there is tons of JFK assassination literature out there, and we have only perused a sliver of it, from what we can tell, little has been written about potential associations between the assassination and his nuclear policy.

JFK's Atomic Issues  

The "Atomic-themed" research that does exist seems too under-represented in the assassination literature, relative to the importance of JFK's policies, and the perceived importance to the American economy in the early 1960s. In other words, at a time when Nuclear Energy was perceived as the successor to Petroleum Energy, and therefore to be the primary driver of the global economy going forward, assassination related connections to nuclear issues are lacking.

Israel Nuclear Weapons Program

JFK was opposed to Israel nuclear weapons program. There is a decent amount of information about JFK's opposition, and the program itself, however, there seems to be a reluctance to connect some historical events, or examine certain aspects of the program in the context of the JFK Assassination.

While we know JFK opposed the program, and we know the Mossad managed to smuggle enough Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) out of the NUMEC plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania by 1965 to build several bombs ("The Apollo Affair"), we have not seen any documented research, or very much undocumented speculation, that the smuggled HEU and the assassination are potentially related. 

The lack of literature linking The Apollo Affair to the JFK Assassination, in part reflects a reluctance to get to close to the third rail of American foreign policy, which is anything critical of Israel. (We would argue that it is good that Israel built the bomb, and that the Mossad's  procurement of the HEU is less important than who in the U.S. Government sold the HEU to the Mossad. ie. The Mossad, as foreign spies, did what foreign spies do. The Americans, on the other hand, are traitors.)

The 1958 formation of NUMEC and the 1965 discovery that HEU was missing from the NUMEC plant in Apollo (near Pittsburgh) suggests that some of that HEU was going out the back door of the factory when JFK was President. (Alternatively, the HEU finally made its way out the door after JFK's death because he was no longer in the way.)

Final Judgment - The Missing Link In The JFK Assassination Conspiracy does dig into possible connections between Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program and the JFK assassination.

"George Sergius de Mohrenschildt was a petroleum geologist..."

That is the first sentence on George "Ds" Wikipedia Page. He probably was, but he easily could have been a uranium geologist, or both, given his travels and a few other indications in his biographies. Any of the countries he visited in the 1950s and 1960s could have been for uranium prospecting in addition to, or instead of oil prospecting. 

George "D" visited Nigeria, France, Mexico, Ghana, Togoland, France, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba, among others. Although some of those countries currently have operating uranium mines, in the early days, any of those countries held potentially commercially viable reserves.

According to CD 531, CD 532 and Volume IX of the Hearings, deMohrenschildt in the 1940s was accused of collecting data regarding the operation of a uranium plant and in
1957 was suspected of spying in Yugoslavia. - Source: Coup d'etat in America"

Those Texas Oil Men were also in the Uranium Business

It was not necessary to fly to Togoland or Yugoslavia to find Uranium.

"The uranium district of south Texas was discovered by accident in 1954 by an airborne gamma radiation survey looking for petroleum deposits." Source: Wikipedia

Uranium production started in 1958 in Texas and continued until 1999. After a five year hiatus, production started up again in 2004.

Many of the early investors included companies and groups who were already familiar with the area from their investments related to oil exploration and production.

According to Quixotic Joust "Morris D. Jaffe had help from LBJ's connections in Washington to get his alleged uranium field certified as "rich" by the AEC. As the grandson of real estate investors, he was then able to buy up options to purchase adjoining lands in which he optioned off prior to the uranium crash, apparently to Climax Molybdenum Company" 

and..

"Col. D. Harold Byrd is one of the most energetic and enterprising U.T. geology exes and one of the most active supporters of the University, which owes much of the Longhorn Band's appearance and activity to his assistance. He is president of the following four corporations in Dallas: Byrd Oil Corporation, Byrd Uranium Corporation, McConnell Drilling Corporation, and Colorado Carbonics, Inc. The fabulous role which Harold Byrd and Jack Frost played in discovering and developing the great East Texas Field is well known to most of the oil industry." 

D. Harold Byrd owned the 411 Elm Building, to which the Texas School Book Depository company moved in April 1963 from just across the street at 501 Elm, often called the Dal-Tex Building.

The Apollo Affair, Missing Uranium and Katy Perry (Part 4)

As described in (Part 3)(Part 2) (Part 1), a good way to launder large sums of money, before computers and updated securities rules and regulations, was to use publicly traded shell companies. The San Toy Mining Company and The Apollo Steel Company were publicly traded shell companies when they merged in 1958, along with The American Nut and Bolt Fastener Company.

Another way to describe a "publicly traded shell" is, a company that no longer does any actual business (or very little) and that has been registered with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933. The SEC registration permits shares to be listed on a public exchange. If you are some sort of criminal with nefarious intent to launder millions of dollars, you need shares that have already gone through the SEC registration process. (If you decided to start fresh, with a brand new registration, for the purpose of using the newly registered shares to launder funds, the SEC, per standard practices and processes, will look into the background of the officers and directors, which is not something criminals and fraudsters like to do.)

San Toy and Apollo Steel check most of the boxes for being useful money laundering candidates. The actual merger in 1958 looks suspicious on its face.

The table below describes the merger and final structure. The main takeaway is Apollo Industries, a new company, is created using the old shares of San Toy, where:

• 48.57% of Apollo Industries is owned by the pre-merger owners of Apollo Steel.
• 28.83% of Apollo Industries is owned by the pre-merger owners of American Nut & Bolt.
• 22.50% of Apollo Industries is owned by the pre-merger owners of San Toy Mining.

The "First Look" - Not Suspicious & Suspicious Parts

To review, one way to launder large sums of money (consideration), is to use a publicly trade shell company. The method, especially before computers and more recent laws and regulations, permitted a higher level of anonymity when moving funds around compared to bank wires or suit cases of cash.

Apollo Steel Looks Like a Real Business

Approximately concurrent with Step 2 above, Apollo Industries merged with NUMEC. NUMEC was created in 1956 by Zalman Shapiro and a few affiliates and was essentially a “non-public” holding company, created with the intent to hold some assets (likely intellectual property) and eventually acquire and hold fixed and tangible assets. Very simply, the decision to get into the HEU smuggling business required a company to market to investors and to have an entity that can hold the tangible assets (shares of subsidiaries and the physical plant, etc.)

NUMEC’s purchase of Apollo Steel looks like it had a legitimate business purpose. Since NUMEC was getting into the Uranium Process business, it needed facilities and equipment. Apollo Steel owned (or leased) the land and buildings in Apollo, Pennsylvania, so it would make sense to buy Apollo Steel and its hard assets, (land or leases, buildings, equipment, administrative infrastructure, industrial zoning permits, etc.) Aside from having capital assets, Apollo’s location was probably ideal. Since it was in the Pittsburgh area, the large blue-collar workforce would have provided a source of labor.

Pittsburgh was also an important hub for nuclear technology. The Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, where the Nuclear Navy got started, was an hour from Apollo and Shippingport Atomic Power Station, on the Ohio River was also close buy. The Town of Transfer, Pennsylvania as in short driving distance from all of these locations as well. The Pittsburgh area’s atomic status would have provided the necessary technical workers and scientists, and also supplies of Uranium that could be enriched.

Pittsburgh Area

What was the Point of merging the San Toy Mining Company?

Unlike, Apollo Steel, it does not appear that merging San Toy into Apollo Industries had any material business purpose. Nevertheless, it did have publicly traded shares. Whoever owned 100% of the San Toy shares prior to the merger was now a 22.5% owner after the merger.

(Another opportunity to obfuscate the true corporate control and ownership of Apollo Industries via the described merger arises from the transaction. While the San Toy owners owned at least 22.5% of the New Apollo Industries, they could actually own and control more. Very simply, if “John Q. Smith” a made up name for this example, owned 100% of San Toy before and 22.5% after, and “John Q. Smith” owned 100% of American Nut & Bolt before the merger and 28.83% after, then at the end of the day, post merger, we can say John Q. Smith owns 50.8% of Apollo Industries.)

Accumulating Enough Shares to Effect a Merger

One of the challenges of using a public company as a shell company, for either legitimate or illegitimate purposes, is actually accumulating the physical shares. A company that has shares that are held by many people and entities (say a few thousand) has to accumulate enough shares or proxy votes to effect the merger. If there are a few thousand shareholders, notifying these shareholders can be costly and time consuming. If the company has been around a few decades, like in the case of Apollo Steel and San Toy, then the actual owners of the shares will be very difficult to track down. Shares could have been passed down to heirs, or sitting in a safe deposit box that has not been opened in 30 years. A shell company is generally not an operating company, so it is not generating a profit, so it is not paying a dividend. When a stock does not pay a divided for years at a time, most share owners are not notifying the company or transfer agent that they moved, because its not like a nice check from the company is arriving in the mail a few times a year, which would be the case if the company paid a dividend.

Since San Toy was an old company (formed about 1905) and was not paying dividends, but enough shares were accumulated to effect the merger, we can deduce that the San Toy Shares were in a relatively few number of shareholder’s hands.

Another Level of Anonymity

Every US exchange listed shell company is incorporated in a US state. Each state has different laws of Incorporation. Some states are better to incorporate than others. Many companies incorporate in Delaware because, in part, the names of the incorporating owners and officers, do not need to be disclosed publicly. That is, ABC Company, Incorporated in Delaware, lists an “Agent” or “Registered Agent” as the person that is to be contacted, or where documents are mailed to. The agent then passes the documents to the true owners. (As an example, Delaware charges a small annual incorporation tax, the owners pay the tax, via the agent.) In short, any business an entity has with a Delaware Corporation is done through an agent, this would include IRS correspondence, or the receipt of a summons from another jurisdiction, etc. In contrast, a state like New Jersey must list the owners and officers on its incorporation documents, so one would be able to look up XYZ Corp. (Incorporated in NJ) and see that “Bill Taylor” is the sole owner of XYZ Corp.

San Toy was Incorporated in Maine

The fact that San Toy was Incorporated in Maine raises a “yellow” flag for the time being (not “red”, just yellow.) We don’t see many Maine Incorporated companies, so San Toys state of incorporation is a little strange. Apollo Steel and American Nut & Bolt were both incorporated in Pennsylvania. When all three companies were incorporated or formed, back in the early 1900’s, picking a state would be more of a matter of geographical convenience rather than what state was best suited, from a legal point of view, to incorporate in.

Unlike Apollo Steel, San Toy does not list the owners and officers on the 1958 merger documents. San Toy only has an “Agent” listed, whose name was Joseph B. Campbell, as allowed under Maine Incorporation laws at the time. (The “Agent” or Clerk, as listed on the merger documents, is typically a lawyer. They are generally allowed to sign corporate documents on behalf of the owners.) It appears Joseph B. Campbell was a member of the Maine Senate at the time and would eventually go on to become Maine Senate President. 

[Side Note: Mr. Campbell deserves a deeper look.]

[Side Note, even though some states have laws to facilitate anonymity, and some don’t, there is nothing nefarious about a corporations owner’s to remain unknown to the public, including for commercial reasons. Anonymous corporate owners are still required to follows all Federal and State laws and the names of those owners are available through legal processes and agreement.]

[Side Note: Were the Maine Incorporation Laws changed in the early 1950s to provide for more anonymity?]

The San Toy Mining Company was a Big Deal back in the Day

Generally, when you need a public shell company, you have a pretty wide selection of firms. The wide selection arises from the unintended consequence of a business failure on the part of the shell. The public company became a shell because the business failed. (A shell company has a name, tradable shares, incorporation documents, but little or no underlying business or prospects for revenue and profitability.)

The Public Shell “Failure” component falls into two categories, which we’ll call;

• 1.) Never Got off the Ground and 
• 2.) Crashed and burned.

“Never Got off the Ground” companies just never achieved the greatness that their owners envisioned when they took the company public. These make up the bulk of existing Shell Companies. Crashed and burned public companies are rarer. These companies were once profitable, or had meaningful revenue and prospects. The “Never Got off the Ground” variety likely never attracted much attention as a worthwhile investment by professional investors, so the shares are likely spread between hundreds or thousands of small individual investors, with only a few large “chunks” in the hands of insiders.

The Crash and Burn variety was likely accumulated by professional investors, strategic investors (similar healthier companies) and other deep pocketed entities looking to acquire enough shares to effect control, and have the funds to do so.

San Toy looks more like a Public Shell Company that had Crashed and Burned at one point, rather than some company that never got going.

As noted in previous posts, Robert Swan Mueller the 3rd is related to Richard Bissell Jr., the famed CIA Director of Plans, fired by JFK for the Bay of Pigs debacle, along with Allen Dulles and General Charles Pearre Cabell.



As shown in the abbreviated family tree, Richard Bissell's sister married Hector C. Prud'homme. Hector "C", is interesting in his own right, but for now, we are more interested in his father Hector "P" Prud'homme, and his associations with the Belgian American Coke Company, its officers and investors.

As noted in the clipping, Hector "P" was from Brussels. He spent some time in China (circa 1903) where he was a "Belgian civil engineer in charge of railway construction" , according to the obituary of his son Hector "C", who was born in China in 1903.

At some point after 1903, Hector "P" moved to St. Louis, likely in connection with the start-up of the Belgian American Coke Ovens. Hector "P" and his wife made the papers in September of 1922 when they returned from a trip to Marseilles and landed in Brooklyn and failed to declare a diamond brooch worth $1,000.00. The paper notes their would be an investigation, but it appears they were allowed to continue on to their home in St. Louis.

[Side Note: George Herbert Walker was from St. Louis. Robert Swan Mueller Sr. also lived in St. Louis. Dorothy Lucille Cabell, the mother of Ann Cabell Standish Mueller (RSM3 wife) was also from St. Louis.] 

Belgian American Coke Company - Officers, Directors, Financiers

The Belgian American Coke Company was no small affair. It's initial capitalization of $10 million in 1921 would be about $143 million today (a useful inflation calculator.)

The Americans

The American investors were well known at the time due to their pre-WWI wealth and post-WWI astronomical level of wealth, influence, and all around tycoon like status. They included President George H.W. Bush's grandfather (George Herbert Walker) and Thomas Fortune Ryan, the founder of the American Tobacco Company. American Tobacco Company, was ruled a "Trust", like Standard Oil. It was the largest tobacco company in the United States before it was broken up in 1911; also like Standard Oil.

Both George Herbert Walker and Thomas Fortune Ryan benefited financially from WWI, with economic interests in all types of companies, whether or not those companies provided goods and services to the war effort indirectly (banking, shipping, raw materials) or directly.

George H. Walker's daughter, Dorothy Walker, was introduced to Samuel Prescott Bush's son, Prescott Sheldon in 1919, linking the Walkers to Remington Arms, a Rockefeller controlled company. 

Samuel Prescott Bush was also closely associated with Samuel Pryor, who, along with the Rockefellers, controlled the Remington Arms Company. During the First World War, Clarence Dillon, a senior figure at the War Industries Board, arranged for Bush, to become chief of the Ordnance Small Arms and Ammunition Section of the WIB. This involved giving out contracts to supply arms and ammunition to the United States Army. Over half of the small-arms ammunition and 69% of the rifles used by the United States in the war were supplied by Remington. Source: Spartacus-Educational

Thomas Fortune Ryan, among many other corporate interests, was also an early financial backer of the Auto-Ordnance Company, which developed the Thompson Submachine Gun. Although intended to be used in the trenches of Europe, the war ended before the first "Tommys" were shipped. Nevertheless, post WWI sales to the US Marines for use in various Banana Wars, law enforcement agencies and foreign forces, helped Ryan's investment pay-off.

The Belgians

The Belgians listed in the 1921 press release mostly represented the economic interests in the company of the Rothschilds. The Belgians listed include Emil Francui, Oliver Piette, Adolphe Stoclet, Lambert Jadot, and Hector P. Prud'homme. Piette was the inventor of the coke oven.

Emil Franqui, Adolphe Stoclet, Lambert Jadot,  Hector P. Prud'homme were either officers and/or directors of Société générale de Belgique (Socgen) and its sub-affiliate Banque d'Outremer. The French Rothschilds as one of the primary owners of the Banque d'Outremer, along with Socgen, and through countless cross ownership arrangements, collectively owned most of the metal mining and mineral assets in the Belgian Congo. Socgen itself was believed to be the agent for the London Rothschilds in all Belgian related business. In short, both the French and English branches of the Rothschild banking group had interests in the Belgian American Coal Company.

Emil Franqui is of particular interest. He became a friend of Herbert Hoover when both were stationed in China in the late 1890's. When WWI broke out, he worked with Hoover to set up the "National Aid and Food Committee" and its American counterpart the "Commission for Relief in Belgium" to provide food, clothes and other necessities for the Belgian population, which was at 7.8 million at the start of the war, and in bad shape from the German occupation, blockades and the overall inconvenience of being stuck between the Germans on one side and the French and English on the other side,

A number of historians have argued that the situation of the Belgians, though dire, was also intentionally embellished in the effort to get America to join the War. Various unspeakable atrocities were attributed to the occupying German forces in an effort to rally the American public to demand that US soldiers be sent to end the "Rape of Belgium."

Post War Partnership

If one reads enough Carrol Quigley, or have watched The Corbett Report special on WWI, or taken a deeper look into the history of WWI beyond what most text books deliver, there are many convincing arguments that WWI was entirely contrived by a small group of British bankers and industrialists. The "Milner Group" (members list) is often considered to be an early organizing cabal, although any number of other British "secret societies" can probably be given credit, and more than likely they are the same people, working together under different names. These would include "Milner's Kindergarten", the "Rhodes Roundtable" and others. The groups had foreign affiliates or overlapping connections.

In the United States, this would include The Pilgrim Society (members list), and predecessors of groups like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR.)  Some sources give the date of the founding of the CFR as July 29, 1921, which is one day before the NY Times article posted here. Founding CFR members include the Rockefellers, Herbert Hoover and Edward House, among others.

The Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) & the Epstein Situation & William Barr Gangstalking

"The Long Island serial killer (also referred to as LISK, the Gilgo Beach Killer or the Craigslist Ripper) is an unidentified suspected serial killer who is believed to have murdered 10 to 16 people over a period of nearly 20 years, mostly women associated with prostitution, and left their bodies in areas on the South Shore of Long Island, New York." 

Well over two years ago, You Tuber George Webb visited Gilgo Beach in Long Island, NY and provided an alternative theory to the LISK murders.

On any number of "True Crime" forums, in various documentaries, books, and other media, professional and "Internet" sleuths put forth various theories as to who the LISK was, his motivations and methods. The prevailing theory was that the LISK was precisely what the moniker describes, a "Serial Killer" on Long Island.

Derivatives of the "Serial Killer" theory included (and still include) speculation that the murders might be related to the known "SK" Joel Rifkin, as well as:

• A specific local landscaper who had a supply of burlap bags (some of the bodies were found in burlap bags.)
• One of the local clammers (also use burlap bags to haul clams.)
• One or more local police officers, sheriffs, or someone familiar with law enforcement techniques.
• More than one Serial Killer, acting independently, but who coincidentally dumped their murdered victims in the same area (Gilgo Beach, LI) 

The last bullet point seems especially unlikely, nonetheless, it is one of the theories.

The alternative theory that George Webb proposed over two years ago does not seem so "out there" now. 

Webb proposed that Gilgo Beach was just a dumping ground for the victims bodies who were likely killed by any number of depraved individuals that attended "Eyes Wide Shut" type parties, and/or were set up in a "Honeypot"/"Compromise" situation. 

For example, a Middle Eastern Sheikh on his annual diplomatic mission to the United Nations orders a prostitute, ends up killing her (or handlers kill her and make the Sheikh think he did it) and then a clean up crew gets rid of the evidence. The crew member in charge of getting rid of the murdered prostitutes bodies ends up dumping them in the same place over the years, which is Gilgo Beach, on Long Island.

The entire veracity of the premise lies with the assumption that "Eyes Wide Shut" parties exist and/or Honeypot "Hotels" are used for compromise. 

The existence of "Honeypots", usually protected by law enforcement authorities, federal agencies, and/or "Deep State" affiliates is hard to deny with the recent revelations about Jeffrey Epstein, his Island, New Mexico Ranch, and NYC Mansion. Whether or not any murders actually took place at the NYC Mansion, and the bodies were disposed of by a clean-up crew on Long Island, we have no idea. 

That being said, George Webb's broader alternative thesis is not as dismissible as some of the conventional theories.
