Mae Brussell's Nazi Connections to the Assassination.
Bill Kelly Notes:
I was first introduced to Mae Brussell by John Judge at the NYU Law School Conference on the JFK assassination in the 1970s - one of the first of such conferences and one of the best.
Just as John Judge was my original mentor on assassination research, Mae was his, and we often listened to cassette tapes of her World Watchers International radio broadcasts at his home when he lived in Philadelphia.
When the Columbus, Ohio based publisher of Hustler Magazine Larry Flint got political, he appointed Realist Magazine satirist Paul Krasner editor of his new, radical Rebel Magazine, and Krasner let Mae write whatever she wanted, and she wrote this article. Mae writes like she talks, fast like a machine gun, and full of facts, often going off on interesting tangents she could write a book about.
On this subject, I wish she were alive so I could tell her I have carried on her work much further, interviewing the CIA's Henry Pleasants, who lived with and debriefed Gehlen, Arthur Goldberg, the Pentagon Historian who actually wrote the Warren Commission Report narrative, and Volkmar Schmidt, who suggested to Oswald that Nazi General Walker should be killed like Hitler should have been before he got too powerful. I also recognized the significance of the Higgins Memo that mentions the CIA's detailed study of the July 20, 1944 Valkyrie plot to kill Hitler that they adapted for used against Castro - and then JFK.
Another Gehlen connection she doesn't mention is Oswald's writing three times to Leo Cherne of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), seeking assistance in returning home from Russia. Gehlen's network included debriefing refugees from Communist countries, Operation Wringer - Gehlen said they got the best intelligence from children - as Churne's IRC was a CIA run remnant of Wringer.
When Mae died she made John head of the Mae Brussell Research Center and I drove a U-Haul truck full of John's boos and papers to Carmel, California, where we set up shop in a three bedroom rancher near the ocean.
THE NAZI CONNECTION TO THE JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
by Mae Brussell
Even Robert Ludlum would have been hard put to invent a more
improbable espionage yarn. In the eyes of the CIA Reinhard Gehlen was an
"asset" of staggering potential. He was a professional spymaster,
violently anti-Communist and, best of all, the controller of a vast underground
network still in place inside Russian frontiers. His checkered past mattered
not. "He's on our side and that's all that matters," chuckled Allen
Dulles, a U.S. intelligence officer during the war who later headed the CIA.
"Besides, one need not ask a Gehlen to one's club."

The Nazi Connection to the John F. Kennedy Assassination
Evidence of link between Nazis still in operation after
World War II to the still unsolved murder of John F. Kennedy
by Mae Brussell
(from the short-lived Larry Flynt publication The
Rebel, January 1984)
1940-1945: The Nazi Connection to Dallas:
General Reinhard Gehlen
The sparrow-faced man in the battle
uniform of an American general clambered down the steps of the U.S. Army
transport plane upon its arrival at Washington National Airport. It was August
24, 1945, two weeks after the surrender of Japan, three months after the German
capitulation. The general was hustled into a van with no windows and whisked to
Fort Hunt outside the capital. There he was attended by white-jacketed
orderlies and, the next morning, fitted with a dark-grey business suit from one
of Washington's swankiest men's stores.
General Reinhard Gehlen was ready to cut a deal.
Reinhard Gehlen had been, up until the recent
capitulation, Adolph Hitler's chief intelligence officer against the Soviet
Union. His American captors had decked him out in one of their uniforms to
deceive the Russians, who were hunting him as a war criminal. Now U.S.
intelligence was going to deploy Gehlen and his network of spies against the
Russians. The Cold War was on.
This is a story of how key nazis, even as the Wehrmacht
was still on the offensive, anticipated military disaster and laid plans to
transplant nazism, intact but disguised, in havens in the West. It is the story
of how honorable men, and some not so honorable, were so blinded by the Red
menace that they fell into lockstep with nazi designs. It is the story of the
Odd Couple Plus One: the mob, the CIA and fanatical exiles, each with its own
reason for gunning for Kennedy. It is a story that climaxes in Dallas on
November 22, 1963 when John Kennedy was struck down. And it is a story with an
aftermath -- America's slide to the brink of fascism. As William L. Shirer,
author of The
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, put it in speaking of the excesses of the
Nixon administration, "We could become the first country to go fascist
through free elections."
Even Robert Ludlum would have been
hard put to invent a more improbable espionage yam. In the eyes of the CIA
Reinhard Gehlen was an "asset" of staggering potential. He was a
professional spymaster, violently anti-Communist and, best of all, the controller
of a vast underground network still in place inside Russian frontiers. His
checkered past mattered not. "He's on our side and that's all that
matters," chuckled Allen Dulles, a U.S. intelligence officer during the
war who later headed the CIA. "Besides, one need not ask a Gehlen to one's
club."
Gehlen negotiated with his American "hosts"
with the cool hand of a Las Vegas gambler. When the German collapse was at
hand, he had looked to the future. He lugged all his files into the Bavarian
Alps and cached them at a site called, appropriately, Misery Meadows. Then he
buried his Wehrmacht uniform with the embroidered eagle and swastika, donned an
Alpine coat, and turned himself in to the nearest U.S. Army detachment. When
the advancing Russians searched his headquarters at Zossen, all they found were
empty file cabinets and litter.
The deal Gehlen struck with the Americans was not, for
obvious reasons, released to the Washington Post. As Heinz Hohne and
Hermann Zolling phrased it in The General Was A Spy, the German general
took his entire apparatus, "unpurged and without interruption, into the
service of the American superpower." There is no evidence that he ever
renounced the Third Reich's postwar plan, advanced by his own family's
publishing house, to colonize vast regions of Eastern Russia, create a huge
famine for 40,000,000, and treat the remaining 50,000,000 "racially
inferior Slavs as slaves."
Allen Dulles may not have invited such a man to his
club, but he did the next best thing: he funneled an aggregate of $200 million
in CIA funds to the Gehlen Organization as it became known. Directing
operations from a fortress-like nerve center in Bavaria, Gehlen reactivated his
network inside Russia. Soon, news of the first Russian jet fighter, the MiG-15,
was channeled back to the West. In 1949 the general scored an espionage coup
when he turned up Soviet plans for the remilitarization of East Germany.
When Dulles spoke, Gehlen listened. The CIA chief was
convinced, along with his brother, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, that
the "captive nations" of the Soviet bloc would rise up if given
sufficient encouragement. At his behest, Gehlen recruited and trained an exile
mercenary force ready to rush in without involving American units. Also at Dulles'
direction, Gehlen tapped the ranks of his wartime Russian collaborators for a
cadre of spies to be parachuted into the Soviet Union. Some of these spies were
schooled at the CIA's clandestine base at Atsugi, Japan, where, in 1957, a
young Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald was posted to the U-2 spy plane operation
there.
Atsugi was only one station on Oswald's Far East
intelligence route; he was also at the U-2 base at Subic Bay in the Philippines
and, for a short while, at Ping-Tung. Taiwan In 1959 he was transferred to a
Marine base at Santa Ana, California for instructions in radar surveillance.
His training officer had graduated from the Georgetown School of Foreign
Service, which had close Agency ties. In May, 1960, when President Eisenhower
was planning a summit meeting with Soviet Premier Khrushchev, a U-2 was shot
down over Russia and its pilot captured. The pilot, Francis Gary Powers, later
blamed his demise on Lee Harvey Oswald. The U-2 affair effectively sabotaged
Ike's summit meeting.
In 1955, by pre-arrangement, the Gehlen Organization
was transferred to the West German Government, becoming its first intelligence
arm, the BND. The BND became a Siamese twin of the CIA a global operation. They
had already worked well together, in Iran in 1953, where the country's first
democratic government was in power. Two years earlier Premier Mossadegh had
rashly nationalized the oil industry. Dulles, with Gehlen's help, engineered a
coup that toppled Mossadegh and reestablished the Pahlevi family regime. The
family patriarch, General Reza Pahlevi, had been banished from the country for
his pro-nati activities during the war. Now his son, Mohammed Reza Pahlevi,
ascended the Peacock Throne. The Shah of Iran became one of the CIA's most
faithful assets.
Gehlen pioneered the setting up of dummy fronts and
cover companies to support his farflung covert operations. A major project was
to form Eastern European emigre groups in the U.S. that could be used against
the Soviets. Both the Tolstoy Foundation and the Union of Bishops of the
Orthodox Church Outside Russia were funded by the CIA. When Lee and Marina
Oswald arrived from the Soviet Union in June, 1962 they were befriended by some
three dozen White Russians in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Many had identifiable
nazi links; others were in the oil and defense industries. It was an improbable
social set for a defector to the U.S.S.R. and his wife from Minsk.
By the time the Gehlen Organization became part of the
West German state, Gehlen already had his agent-in-place in the United States.
He was Otto Albrecht von Bolschwing, who had been a captain in Heinrich
Himmler’s dreaded SS and Adolph Eichmann's superior in Europe and Palestine.
Von Bolschwing worked simultaneously for Dulles' OSS. When he entered the U.S.
in February, 1954, he cleverly concealed his nazi past. He was to take over
Gehlen's network not only in this country but in many corners of the globe. He
became closely associated with the late Elmer Bobst of Warner-Lambert
Pharmaceutical, a godfather of Richard Nixon's political career, which brought
him inside Nixon's 1960 campaign for the presidency. In 1969 he showed up in
California with a high-tech firm called TCI that held classified Defense
Department contracts. His translator for German projects was Helene van Damme,
Governor Ronald Reagan's appointments secretary. Von Damme is currently U.S.
Ambassador to Austria, next door to the nazi's homeland.
In 1968 Reinhard Gehlen withdrew to his chalet in
Bavaria. The chalet had been a gift from Allen Dulles.
Wild Bill Donovan of the OSS, Allen Dulles and the Vatican
Allen Dulles dubbed it Operation
Sunrise. He mounted it from his walk-up office in Bern, Switzerland, where,
since 1942, he had maintained contact with key nazis. Operation Sunrise was
conceived when these nazis decided, in the face of defeat, that they preferred
to surrender to the Americans and British. The agreement, which double-crossed
the Russians, was signed April 29, 1945.
The principle negotiator on the German side was SS
Commander Karl Wolff, head of the Gestapo in Italy. Wolff acted with full
authority, for he was formerly chief of Heinrich Himmler's personal staff.
Wolff’s relationship with Dulles spared him from the dock at Nuremberg, but
when it was later discovered that he had dispatched "at least"
300,000 Jews to the Treblinka death camp he was handed a token sentence. In
1983 Wolff made the social pages when he and some of his old SS buddies
sojourned on the late Hermann Goering's yacht Carin II of Hamburg.
The skipper was Gert Heidemann, an avowed Hamburg nazi. The yacht belonged to
the widow, Emmy Goering, whose estate attorney was the celebrated Melvin Belli.
Belli has always had an eclectic clientele. He represented Jack Ruby after he
shot Oswald. And he represented actor Errol Flynn's family interests. Flynn
(once a close friend of Ronald Reagan) has been identified as having
collaborated with the Gestapo.
When Wolff hammered out the secret
surrender terms with Dulles, he had in the back of his mind a safe diaspora for
his nazi compatriots. This is where the OSS, William Donovan and the sovereign
state of the Vatican came in. "Wild Bill" Donovan was top dog in the
OSS. Shortly before the Germans overran Europe, Father Felix Morlion, a papal
functionary, had set up a Vatican intelligence organization called Pro Deo in
Lisbon. When the U.S. entered the war Donovan moved Morlion lock, stock and
barrel to New York and opened a sizeable bank account for him to draw on. The
priest founded the American Council for International Promotion of Democracy
Under God, on 60th Street. In the same building is the office of William Taub,
whose name popped up during the Watergate affair. Taub is well-known as a
wide-ranging middleman for such powerful figures as Nixon, Howard Hughes,
Aristotle Onassis and Jimmy Hoffa, and his behind-the-scenes maneuvers were
invaluable to Nixon in his 1960 run at the presidency. Taub was especially
close to Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviania of the Holy See, who arranged Mussolini's
1929 "donation" of $89 million to the Vatican to ensure its
neutrality with Mussolini and Hitler. The money went into a special fund in the
Vatican Bank, and after the war part of it was entrusted to "God's
Banker" Michele Sindona for investment. Sindona channeled a good chunk of
it to the Nixon campaign.
When Rome was liberated in 1944 Morlion and Pro Deo
relocated there. In recognition of Donovan's good works on behalf of Pro Deo,
Pope Plus XII knighted him with the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Sylvester.
And before he flew off to Washington to cut his deal with the CIA, Reinhard
Gehlen received the Sovereign Military Order of Malta award from the Pontiff.
So did James Jesus Angleton, a Donovan operative in Rome who became the CIA's
chief of counterintelligence.
For Dulles, Operation Sunset was a personal triumph,
one that set in motion his rise to the top of the intelligence heap. In 1963,
by virtue of that position, he became the CIA's representative on the Warren
Commission.
John J. McCloy and the Chase Manhattan
President Lyndon Johnson asked John
J. McCloy to serve on the Warren Commission. No less than nine presidents had
called on the Wall Street lawyer for special assignments, yet he was little
known to the public. McCloy said he entered the investigation "thinking
there was a conspiracy," but left it convinced that Oswald acted alone.
"I never saw a case that was more completely proven," he asserted.
McCloy had long been involved in the murky world of
espionage, intrigue and nazis. He spent the decade of the 1930s working out of
Paris. Much of his time was spent on a law case stemming from German sabotage
in World War I. His investigation took him to Berlin, where he shared a box
with Hitler at the 1936 Olympics. He was in contact with Rudolph Hess before
the Nazi leader made a mysterious flight to England
When the nazis occupied Europe, the
banking exchanges between Britain and the U.S. on the one hand and Germany on
the other carried on as usual. In Trading With the Enemy, Charles Higham
documents the role of Standard Oil of New Jersey, owned by the Chase Manhattan
Bank, and I.G. Farben's Sterling Products with the Bank for International
Settlements. Standard Oil tankers plied the sea lanes with fuel for the nazi
war machine. Prior to the war McCloy was legal counsel to Farben, the German
chemical monopoly.
As an assistant secretary in the War Department during
the war:
McCloy blocked the executions of nazi war criminals
Forged a pact with the Vichy Regime of pro-nazi Admiral
Darlan.
Displaced Japanese-Americans in California to internment
camps.
Refused to recommend the bombing of nazi concentration camps
to spare the inmates on grounds "the cost would be out of proportion to
any possible benefits."
Refused Jewish refugees entry to the U.S.
When the curtain fell on the war,
McCloy helped shield Klaus Barbie, the "butcher of Lyons," from the
French. Barbie and other vicious dogs from Hitler's kennel were hidden out with
the 370th Counter Intelligence Corps at Obergamergau. One of their keepers was
Private Henry Kissinger, soon to enter Harvard as a McCloy protege.
In 1949 McCloy returned to Germany as American High
Commissioner. He commuted the death sentences of a number of nazi war
criminals, and gave early releases to others. One was Alfred Krupp, convicted
of using slave labor in his armaments factories. Another was Hitler's financial
genius, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who subsequently went on the payroll of Aristotle
Onassis.
In 1952 McCloy left a Germany that was prepared to
re-arm to return to his law practice. He became president of the Chase
Manhattan Bank, director of a dozen blue chip corporations, and legal counsel
to the "Seven Sisters" of American oil. During this period he
acquired a client, the Nobel oil firm, whose interests in Czarist Russia had
been managed by the father of George de Mohrenschildt, Lee and Marina Oswald's
"best friend" in Dallas.
Busy as he was McCloy found time to supervise
construction of the new Pentagon building. It was nicknamed "McCloy's
Folly."
J. Edgar Hoover and Interpol
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
"mistrusted and disliked all three Kennedy brothers. President Johnson and
Hoover had mutual fear and hatred for the Kennedys," wrote the late
William Sullivan, for many years an assistant FBI director. Hoover hated Robert
Kennedy, who as Attorney General was his boss, and feared John. In turn the
President distrusted Allen Dulles, easing him out as CIA director after the
1961 Bay of Pigs debacle. When JFK moved to lower the oil depletion allowance,
he incurred the displeasure of John McCloy, whose clients' profits would be
trimmed.
Hoover, Dulles and McCloy did not belong to the Kennedy
fan club. When the president was shot, Hoover controlled the field
investigation, and Dulles and McCloy helped mold the final verdict of the
Warren Commission.
As America stood on the threshold of World War II
Hoover continued a friendly relationship with the nazis who dominated Interpol,
the Berlin-based international secret police. He had been obsessed with the
"Red menace" since 1919 when he became head of the Bureau's General
Intelligence Division. Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich, Arthur Nebe and
other fanatical nazis were active in Interpol. Even after Hitler occupied
Czechoslovakia, Hoover ignored all evidence of nazi death squads and atrocities
and cooperated with the boys in Berlin. As France fell, Hoover exchanged lists
of wanted criminals, enclosing autographed photographs of himself. It was not
until three days before Pearl Harbor that he called a halt -- and then only
because he feared his image might be tarnished.
When the war had been imminent Roosevelt charged Hoover
with ferreting out nazi spies in the Western Hemisphere. Two escaped his
notice. As early as 1933 Gestapo agent Dr. Hermann Friedrick Erben recruited
Errol Flynn as an intelligence source. Erben went on to become a naturalized
American citizen, but never abandoned his loyalty to Hitler. Flynn went on to
make "Santa Fe Trail" in 1940, co-starring with Ronald Reagan, and
the two paired up for "Desperate Journey" in 1942.
George de Mohrenschildt, the Oswalds' genial host in
Dallas, was tagged by Hoover's FBI as a nazi spy during World War II. G-men
noted that his cousin, Baron Maydell, had nazi ties, and that his uncle
distributed pro-nazi films. Their suspicions were confirmed when they trailed
de Mohrenschildt from New York to Corpus Christi. On October 8, 1942 a
"lookout" was placed in his file in case he applied for another
passport.
The parts left out of J. Edgar
Hoover's investigation before and after Kennedy was killed were the nazi
associations de Mohrenschildt had while working for U.S. intelligence.
George's cousin, the movie producer Baron Constantine
Maydell, was one of the top German Abwehr agents in North America. Reinhard von
Gehlen recruited Maydell in the post-war era to be in charge of the CIA's
Russian emigre programs.
Gehlen recruited veterans of Maydell's Abwehr Group to
work with East European emigre organizations inside the U.S.
Part of Lee and Marina's red carpet treatment in the
U.S. started with their arrival from the USSR. Spas T. Raigkin was the
ex-Secretary General of a group such as Maydell's. The AFABN, the American
Friends of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, with CIA funding, assisted Lee
and Marina to get settled.
J. Edgar Hoover was trained only to see if there were
Communists around ...the red menace. The Abwehr, Reinhard Gehlen and Maydell
were overlooked by the FBI.
After the war Interpol ostensibly cleaned up its act,
moved to Paris and installed the prestigious Hoover as vice president. Yet
Interpol steadfastly refused to hunt for nazi war criminals, contending it was
independent of politics. The excuse appeared a bit lame when, in the 1970s,
former SS officer Paul Dickopf became president.
"Sir" Charles Willoughby -- a
Franco-German-American
He was a bull of a man who spoke
with a German accent, wore a custom-tailored general's uniform and affected a
monocle. A fellow officer in the U.S. army under his true name of Adolph
Charles Weidenbach, born in Heidelberg, March 8, 1892. But by the time he
became Douglas MacArthur's chief of intelligence for the war in the Pacific, he
was Major General Charles A. Willoughby. Behind his back he was derisively
tagged "Sir Charles."
For a man of such Teutonic traits it was odd that
Willoughby preferred his fascism with a Spanish accent. But this was an
accident of geography. While serving as a military attache in Ecuador, he had
received a decoration from Mussolini's government -- the Order of Saints
Maurizio and Lazzaro. After delivering an impassioned paean to Spanish dictator
Generalissimo Francisco Franco at a lunch in Madrid, he was toasted by the
secretary general of the Falangist Party, "I am happy to know a fellow
Falangist and reactionary.
MacArthur's pre-war headquarters were in the
Philippines, whose commerce was dominated by resident Spaniards. The Daddy
Warbucks of this crowd was Andres Soriano, who owned an early-day conglomerate
of airlines, mines, breweries ("Of course!") and American
distributorships. During the Spanish Civil War Soriano was one of Franco's
principal money-bags. When the Rising Sun flag was raised over the Philippines
Soriano fled to Washington to become finance minister of the
government-in-exile. But there was such a fuss over his fascist reputation that
he flew off to Australia to become a colonel on MacArthur’s staff.
Willoughby accompanied the Supreme Commander to Tokyo
for the occupation of Japan. His preferences remained the same; when military
police shook down his hotel looking for a fugitive, they found Willoughby at
dinner with the stranded Italian fascist ambassador to Japan and members of his
staff. He became a heavy-handed censor, suppressing unfavorable news to the
States. He delighted in falsely labeling correspondents who defied him as
"Communists," a tactic Senator McCarthy would adopt with enthusiasm.
But the general's priority project was a dressed-up history of the Pacific War
in which MacArthur would be the towering hero. Willoughby brought in Japanese
military brass for a view from the enemy side, a move that may have had an
ulterior motive. The possibility existed that Willoughby was down-playing
Japanese war crimes so that the perpetrators could be protected for use against
the Soviets later. This was happening in Germany where the top nazis were
writing the history of Malmedy. The tight security in which Willoughby wrapped
the project only adds to this impression. One woman had a passkey, the wife of
Dr. Mitsutaro Araki, a former exchange lecturer in Germany, who was closely
tied in with high nazis in Tokyo and the Tojo clique.
Willoughby harbored another secret that only came to
light last year. During the war, the Japanese conducted germ warfare
experiments with human beings as guinea pigs (at least 3,000 died, including an
undetermined number of captured U.S. military). The Pentagon decided that the
biological research might prove handy against the Russians, and the Japanese
responsible for the experiments were granted immunity from prosecution in
return for their laboratory records. On December 12, 1947 the Pentagon
acknowledged the "wholehearted cooperation" of Willoughby in
arranging the examination of the "human pathological material which had
been transferred to Japan from the biological warfare installations."
As his final public gesture to Franco, Willoughby
lobbied the U.S. Congress in August, 1952 to authorize $100 million for the
anti-Communist dictator's needs. Then he settled down in the U.S. to do battle
with the domestic enemy. As Sir Charles and his right-wing allies saw it,
Marxism wasn't the real enemy, the Liberals were.
1952: The Travels of Klaus Barbie, Evita Peron, Otto
Skorzeny, and Nicolae Malaxa
By 1952 Klaus Barbie had arrived in
Bolivia via a stop in Argentina. He had been spirited out of Germany by the
CIA, with a hand from the Vatican. Soon he teamed up with SS Major Otto
Skorzeny, who now was affiliated with the CIA. Dr. Fritz Thyssen and Dr. Gustav
Krupp, both beneficiaries of McCloy's amnesty, bankrolled Skorzeny from the
start. Barbie and Skorzeny were soon forming death squads such as the Angels of
Death in Bolivia, the Anti-Communist Alliance in Argentina, and in Spain, with
Stephen Della Chiaie, the Guerrillas of Christ the King.
In 1952 the nazi, Martin Bormann's money was released.
In Argentina, Evita Peron died of cancer at age 33. In her name was deposited,
in 40 Swiss banks, the nazi money. There was $100 million cash, another $40
million in diamonds. Several hundred million more were set aside with Evita's
brother, Juan Duarte, as the courier. This led to three murders the following
year:
Juan Duarte was shot to death.
Heinrich Dorge, an aide to Hjalmar Schacht, killed.
Rudolf Feude, nazi banker who knew the locations of the
money, was poisoned.
In 1952 Otto Skorzeny, who had been
released from American custody in 1947, moved to Madrid. He created what is
known as the International Fascista. The CIA and the Gehlen BND dispatched him
to "trouble spots." On his payroll were former SS agents, French OAS
terrorists and secret police from Portugal's PDID. PDID are the same initials
as the Los Angeles police intelligence unit, Public Disorder Intelligence
Division. The California PDID was exposed on May 24, 1983 as spying on law
abiding citizens at an expense of $100,000, utilizing a computerized dossier
system bought by the late Representative Larry McDonald's "Western
Goals." (McDonald was a national leader of the John Birch Society, which
was exceedingly active in Dallas preceding the Kennedy assassination. Western
Goals has offices in Germany run by Eugene Wigner that feed data to the Gehlen
BND.)
On the board of Western Goals are such Cold Warriors as
Edward Teller, Admiral Thomas Moorer and Dr. Hans Senholt, once a Luftwaffe
pilot.
SS Colonel Skorzeny's CIA agents participated in terror
campaigns waged by Operation 40 in Guatemala, Brazil and Argentina. Skorzeny
was also in charge of the Paladin mercenaries, whose cover, M.C. Inc., was a
Madrid export-import firm.
Dr. Gerhard Hartmut von Schubert, [formerly] of Joseph
Goebbels' propaganda ministry, was M.C. operating manager. The nerve center for
Skorzeny's operations was in Albufera, Spain. It was lodged in the same
building as the Spanish intelligence agency SCOE under Colonel Eduardo Blanco
and was also an office of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
The Albufera building was the kind of intelligence nest
that was duplicated in New Orleans in 1963. That summer Lee Harvey Oswald
handed out pro-Castro literature stamped with the address 544 Camp Street, a
commercial building. This was a blunder, because Oswald actually was under the
control of an anti-Castro operation headquartered there. His controller, W. Guy
Banister, was connected with military intelligence, the CIA and a section of
the World Anti-Communist League that had been set up by Willoughby and his Far
Pacific intelligence unit in Taiwan.
In The Great Heroin Coup, Henrik Kruger disclosed
that the International Fascist was "not only the first step toward
fulfilling the dream of Skorzeny, but also of his close friends in Madrid,
exile Jose Lopez Rega, Juan Peron's grey eminence, and prince Justo Valerio
Borghese, the Italian fascist money man who had been rescued from execution at
the hands of the World War II Italian resistance by future CIA
counterintelligence whiz James J. Angleton."
A subcommittee on international operations of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee prepared a report "Latin America:
Murder, Inc." that is still classified. The title repeated Lyndon
Johnson's remark, three months before he died, "We were running a Murder,
Inc. in the Caribbean." The report concluded: "The United States had
joint operations between Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and
Uruguay. The joint operations were known as Operation Condor. These are special
teams used to carry out 'sanctions,' the killing of enemies."
Jack Anderson gave a few details in his column
"Operation Condor, An Unholy Alliance" August 3, 1979:
"Assassination teams are centered in Chile. This
international consortium is located in Colonia Dignidad, Chile. Founded by
nazis from Hitler's SS, headed by Franz Pfeiffer Richter, Adolf Hitler's
1000-year Reich may not have perished. Children are cut up in front of their
parents, suspects are asphyxiated in piles of excrement or rotated to death
over barbecue pits."
Otto Skorzeny code-named his assault
on American soldiers in the Battle of the Bulge Operation Greif, the
"Condor." He continued Condor with his post-war special teams that
imposed "sanctions," meaning the assassination of enemies. Skorzeny's
father-in-law was Hjalmar Schacht, president of Hitler's Reichsbank. Schacht
guided Onassis' shipyards in rebuilding the German and Japanese war fleets. In
1950 Onassis signed on Lars Anderson for his whaling ships on the hunt off
Antarctica and Argentina. Anderson had belonged to Vidkum Quisling's nazi
collaborationist group in Norway during the war. Clay Shaw, who was charged by
New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison with complicity in the JFK assassination, was a
close friend of Hjalmar Schacht.
In 1952 Nicolae Malaxa moved from
Whittier California to Argentina. Malaxa had belonged to Otto von Bolschwing's
Gestapo network, as did his associate, Viorel Trifia, who was living in
Detroit. They were members of the Nazi Iron Guard in Romania, and had felt
prosecution. They had one thing in common; they were friends of Richard Nixon.
Trifia had been brought to the U.S. by von Bolschwing.
Malaxa had escaped from Europe with over $200 million in U.S. dollars. Upon
arrival in New York he picked up another $200 million from Chase Manhattan
Bank. The legal path for his entry was smoothed by the Sullivan & Cromwell
law offices, the Dulles brothers firm. Undersecretary of State Adolph Berle,
who had helped Nixon and star witness Whittaker Chambers convict Alger Hiss,
personally testified on Malaxa's behalf before a congressional subcommittee on
immigration. In 1951 Senator Nixon introduced a private bill to allow Malaxa
permanent residence. Arrangements for his relocation in Whittier were made by
Nixon's law office. The dummy front cover for Malaxa in Whittier was Western
Tube. In 1946 Nixon had gotten a call from Herman L. Perry asking if he wanted
to run for Congress against Rep. Jerry Voorhis. Perry later became president of
Western Tube.
When Malaxa went to Argentina in 1952, he linked up
with Juan Peron and Otto Skorzeny. Questions were raised at the time about J.
Edgar Hoover, the Iron Guard, Malaxa and Vice President Nixon.
1960 Elections: Richard Nixon vs. John F. Kennedy
Before the election of 1960, a group
within the Christian Right plotted to kill John Kennedy in Van Nuys, California
while he was still a candidate. The group was a meld of anti-Castro Cubans,
Minutemen and home-grown nazis. Some were sought by Jim Garrison, following his
arrest of Clay Shaw, for testimony before the New Orleans grand jury. When
Garrison forwarded extradition papers for Edgar Eugene Bradley, a member of the
group, Governor Ronald Reagan refused to sign them.
The leader of one of these groups, the Christian
Defense League (CDL), was the Reverend William P. Gale. During the war Gale had
been an Army colonel in the Philippines training guerilla bands. His superior
officer was Willoughby. By the late 1950s Gale was recruiting veterans for his
"Identity" group, which was financed by a wealthy Los Angeles man.
One of the CDL's contacts was Captain Robert K. Brown,
a special forces professional from Fort Benning, Georgia. Brown was working
with anti-Castro Cubans, mercenaries similar to Skorzeny's teams. Brown is now
publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine and paramilitary texts such
as Silencers, Snipers, and Assassins. The book explains how Mitchell
WerBell made special weapons for the CIA, Bay of Pigs assault squads and other
customers. WerBell, son of a wealthy Czarist cavalry officer, perfected a
silencer so effective a gun can be shot in one room and not heard in the next.
It is ideal for assassinations.
There had been prolonged controversy about how many
shots were fired the day Kennedy was killed. The President's wounds, nicks on
the limousine and curb, and other bullet evidence indicated quite a few. But
the Warren Commission concluded there were only three. It took the testimony of
spectators in Dealy Plaza who said they only heard three. It never considered
the possibility that silencer-fitted guns were fired.
When Clay Shaw was arrested by Jim Garrison the news
was of particular interest to the Italian newspaper Paesa Sera. It
followed up with a story that Shaw belonged to a cover organization in Rome
named Centro Mondiale Commerciale (CMC). Its location was frequently moved, its
presidents rotated; its modus operandi altered. CMC included Italian fascists,
elements of the European paramilitary right, the CIA, and the U.S. Defense
Department. There were major shareholders with banks located in Switzerland,
Miami, Basel and other major cities.
CMC had been formed in 1961, one year after Kennedy was
elected. Its principals had worked with fascist networks established after
World War II. The board of directors numbered Ferenc Nagy, a former Hungarian
premier who led that country's Anti-Communist Countrymen's Party in exile. J.
Edgar Hoover brought Nagy to the United States, where there were numerous
Gehlen-supported emigre organizations. On August 18, 1951, the Saturday
Evening Post pictured Nagy with Czech, Pole, Hungarian and Russian exiles
under the heading: "They Want Us To Go to War Right Now." On November
22, 1963 Nagy was living in Dallas.
CMC was actually a subsidiary of Swiss-based Permindex,
whose president was Prince Gutierez de Spadafora, Italian industrialist and
large landowner. Spadafora's daughter-in-law was related to Hjalmar Schacht.
Clay Shaw, who managed the New Orleans Intemational Trade Mart, was a director.
Another was Giorgio Mantello, aka George Mandel, who would later move to New
Orleans. Once convicted of "criminal activities" in Switzerland,
Mantello worked closely with his fellow Hungarian Nagy. One of the goals of the
CMC was that "Rome will recover once again her position as center of the
civilized world."
Major L. M. Bloomfield, a veteran of the OSS who
resided in Montreal, was a suspect Garrison wanted to question. In Canada he
reportedly controlled Credit Suisse, Heineken's Breweries, Israel Continental
Company, Grimaldo Siosa Lines and other international firms. Shaw's name was
found among eleven directors of a company in Montreal that actually was based
in Rome. Who was giving the virtually unlimited money to CMC, and who was
getting it? The answer might have been found in the huge amounts that flowed
out of Evita Peron's accounts.
Paesa Sera reported on March 4, 1967 that CMC was
a creature of the CIA serving as a money conduit, and that Shaw and Bloomfield
conducted illegal political espionage under its cover. In New Orleans, Shaw was
the respected citizen who had helped restore the French Quarter. In Rome he was
a vital member of the boards of twin companies dealing with fascists accused of
European assassinations. Shaw's address book contained the private number of
Principessa Marcelle Borghese, now Duchessa de Bomartao, who is related to
Prince Valerio Borghese. Called the "Black Prince" and "The New
Duce," Borghese was leader of the Movimento Sociale Italiano, a
neo-fascist syndicate. The Black Prince, who was a decorated submarine captain
in the First World War, was convicted of cooperating with the nazis in WW II
and given 12 years in prison.
The Black Prince is the same Borghese rescued by the
CIA's James J. Angleton. No wonder Angleton was awarded the Sovereign Military
Order of Malta by the Pope after the war. It might explain what Angleton was
hinting at when questioned about the murder of JFK: "A mansion has many
rooms; there were many things during the period; I'm not privy to who struck
John."
Clay Shaw's affiliation with Permindex would plug in
later to Argentina, Spain, Rome, New Orleans and Dallas. The international
range of hit teams, using CIA money diverted overseas to cover companies set up
by the Gehlen Organization, started coming together after Shaw's arrest.
In November, 1960 it would be Nixon versus Kennedy.
Frank Sinatra introduced Judith Exner to John Kennedy on the eve of the New
Hampshire primary. A few weeks later Sinatra introduced Judith Exner to Chicago
Mafia boss Sam Giancana. So Exner became involved, as William Safire put it, in
a "dual affair with the nation's most powerful mobster and the nation's
most powerful political leader."
Giancana was busy with more than his love life; he was
hired to form assassination teams to go after Fidel Castro. The man who
retained him was Robert Maheu, a former FBI and CIA operative. It was a classic
cutoff. Maheu never mentioned that the CIA was behind it. He intimated to
Giancana that wealthy Cuban exiles were providing the funds. This sounded
plausible, since Maheu was Howard Hughes' right-hand man.
Giancana put his Los Angeles lieutenant, Johnny
Roselli, in charge of the hit squads. In 1978 when the House Select Committee
questioned him, Roselli hinted that his assignment was aimed at Kennedy as well
as Castro. Shortly afterward, his body was found floating in an oil drum off
the Florida coast. Giancana never got a chance to testify. He was shot to death
in his Chicago home.
The Howard Hughes organization, used as a cover for the
kill-Castro conspiracy, (Hughes thought it was a patriotic idea) has long
retained Carl Byoir Associates as its public relations arm. Throughout the war
Byoir represented nazi bankers and industrialists and the I.G. Farben
interests. One of his clients was Ernest Schmitz, member of the I.G.
Farben-Ilgner and the German American Board of Trade. His Information Services
was subsidized by the nazi government. George Sylvester Viereck, editor of the
German Library of Information, was also in business with Byoir. A lucrative
Byoir client was the Frederick Flick Group. Flick, a Nuremberg defendant
released by McCloy, was the single greatest power behind the nazi military
muscle.
Frederick Flick's son was close to the W.R. Grace
Company, and invested over $400,000 in partnership with J. Peter Grace in the
United States. During the war, WR. Grace was accused in a military report of
protecting a certain nazi Colonel Brite in Bolivia. In 1951, when the CIA
smuggled Barbie out of Germany, he was sent to join the same Colonel Brite.
George de Mohrenschildt was a close associate of the company's founder, William
Grace.
De Mohrenschildt was a man of many faces. He befriended
Lee and Marina Oswald, introducing them to the White Russian community. He made
phone calls to obtain Lee jobs and housing. As he told it to the Warren
Commission, he was fascinated with this strange couple just out of Russia. But
at the Petroleum Club in Dallas, De Mohrenschildt sang the praises of Heinrich
Himmler. His travels took him all over the world on missions identified with
intelligence. In 1956 he was employed by Pantepec Oil Company owned by the
family of William Buckley.
De Mohrenschildt often discussed Oswald with J. Walton
Moore, the CIA's Domestic Contacts Division resident in Dallas. In the spring
of 1963, just after visiting the Oswalds, he went to Washington. There is a
record of a phone call de Mohrenschildt made on May 7, 1963, to the Army Chief
of Staff for intelligence. The same month he had a meeting in person with a
member of that staff. His military connections seem to have been wide. One of
the first persons de Mohrenschildt took the Oswalds to see in Dallas was
retired Admiral Chester Burton.
Although De Mohrenschildt and his
wife Jeanne testified at length before the Warren Commission, only attorney
Albert Jenner and Pentagon historian Alfred Goldberg attended. One of Jenner's
clients was General Dynamics, maker of the F-lll fighter that would achieve
fame in Vietnam. The chief of security for General Dynamics in Dallas, Max
Clark, was another De Mohrenschildt associate donating money to help Marina
while George got Lee his next job in Dallas. He found one at the graphics house
of Jagger-Chiles-Stovall, which held classified military contracts.
Jeanne de Mohrenschildt was originally brought to the
U.S. by a family member employed by the Howard Hughes organization. In 1977
George was found fatally shot, allegedly a suicide, on the day a House Select
Committee investigator came by looking for him. Jeanne consented to a press
interview. She said George had been a nazi spy.
The placement de Mohrenschildt got for Oswald allowed
him to visit the Sol Bloom agency at least 40 times. It was this agency that
later decided the motorcade route for Kennedy's fatal visit.
Ruth Paine, whom Oswald met via George, had called Roy
Truly and procured work for Oswald at the Texas School Book Depository.
If Maydell and the Gehlen agents were active in the
U.S. they knew all the right moves to secure their patsy.
1960: Young Americans for Freedom
President Harry Truman warned about
the CIA "Gestapo" he had created.
President Eisenhower left the White House fearing the
new "military-industrial complex" he handed to us.
In 1960 candidate Richard Nixon was qualified for the
job of President. A lot of influential people were sure he was the only choice.
Nixon was familiar with every red scare tactic. From
his first campaign against Jerry Voorhis in 1946 for the House seat, or vs.
Helen Douglas in the Senate, and working with Sen. Joe McCarthy, he knew it
well. The prosecution of Alger Hiss, with such flimsy evidence, proved his
value alone.
But Nixon had also accumulated strong connections with
members of the crime syndicate, the Vatican hierarchy, defense industries and
known nazis. He knew them all.
What if he lost after those seventeen years of
preparation? Would there be a back-up team for the future? Could the Pentagon
or Reinhard Gehlen visualize leaving the entire United States presidency to
chance elections?
Remember what happened to
Senator Robert Kennedy on the eve of his primary election in June, 1968? They
can't get that close to losing it again, you know. With both Kennedy's gone,
Nixon finally made it.
September, 1960, two months before the elections,
William F. Buckley Jr. launched his YAF, Young Americans for Freedom, from the
grounds on his Connecticut estate.
Prior to that date, Buckley's career was one of the
most conservative in the U.S. Following his graduation at Yale, mentor Frank
Chodorov grabbed him for purposes related to his job with McCormick's Chicago
Tribune.
Buckley served the CIA in Japan from 1950 to 1954.
He also did a stint with CIA in Mexico with E. Howard
Hunt.
Co-founder of YAF was Douglas Caddy, whose offices were
used by the CIA and Howard Hughes organization, at the time of Watergate
illegal entries and other dirty tricks.
After the CIA in Japan, Buckley was ready to publish
his own magazine, The National Review. This was an unusual opportunity to
bring together the world's most conservative writers for publication and much
propaganda accompanied by Buckley's glib innuendos.
Once the publication was going, Buckley decided to
bring Young Americans for Freedom to the campus; old ideas, old money, and
young minds to mold. Behind the project were always the well-funded military
masters, such as the YAF's Tom Charles Huston and the Cointel-Program Nixon
cooked up.
The selected advisory board for YAF was a Who's Who of
oldies even then: Senator Strom Thurmond, Senator John Tower, Mr. Ronald
Reagan, Professor Lev Dobriansky, General Charles Willoughby, and Mr. Robert
Morris are a sample.
Robert Morris may not be a household name. But William
Buckley knew him well, and Morris, Nixon, and Senator Joe McCarthy were team
players. Senator Joe McCarthy's two strongest supporters for him to represent
Wisconsin were Frank Seusenbrenner and Walter Harnisfeger. Both admired Adolf
Hitler and made continuous trips to Germany.
Senator McCarthy obliged fast enough. Before he went
after the Commies in the State Department, he had to release a few of Hitler's
elite nazis lingering in the Dachau prison camp. McCarthy beat John McCloy by
about three years.
In 1949, during congressional hearings on the Malmedy
Massacre, the bloody Battle of the Bulge, McCarthy invited himself to take over
the entire testimony. He wasn't satisfied until the prison doors flew open. The
most detestable and ugly battle of World War II, an assault upon Americans and
civilians in Belgium, was ignored. Hitler's precious Generals Fritz Kraemer and
Sepp Dietrick, along with Hermann Priess and many others, were free.
With that business finished, McCarthy took on Robert
Morris as Chief Counsel for the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. Morris'
earlier training in Navy Intelligence in charge of USSR counter-intelligence
and psychological warfare could be utilized well by Senator Joe. Particularly
the psychological warfare part.
After McCarthy died, Morris moved to Dallas, Texas. He
was a judge, and became president of Dallas University.
In 1961, a year after Buckley founded YAF, another
conservative organization was formed in Munich, Germany, calling itself CUSA,
Conservatism USA. These were not students, but members of the U.S. army, soon
to be mustered out, then to appear in Dallas, Texas, by November 1963. The host
would be Robert Morris.
A correspondence between Larry Schmidt in Dallas, to
Bernie Weissman in Munich, Germany, in preparation for their arrival, was
published in the Warren Commission Hearings, Vol. XVIII.
Segments of the letters are as follows:
November 2, 1962: Dallas to Munich, Larry Schmidt:
"Gentlemen we got everything we wanted."
"It saved the trouble of infiltration."
"Met with Frank McGee ... (president of the Dallas
Council of World Affairs.)"
"Suggest Bernie convert to Christianity and I mean
it."
(Bernard Weissman, the only Jew, was brought all the way to
Dallas on November 22, 1963, to lend his name to the "Wanted for
Treason" fliers handed out to welcome JFK. He testified that the John
Birch Society paid for the ads and "wanted a Jewish name at the
bottom.")
"We must all return to the church."
"These people are religious bugs."
"I think in terms of 300,000 members, $3,000,000."
"The John Birch Society has a million members. Look for
us to merge with them in 1964."
"Arrangements are being made for me to meet the heads
of the Dallas John Birch, General Walker, and H.L. Hunt, Texas oil
millionaire."
(General Walker had been retired from the military by John
Kennedy for his compulsory Pro-Blud indoctrination.)
"I have already met the top editors of the Dallas
Morning News, the country's most conservative newspaper."
"These people are radicals but there is a method in
their madness. You see, they're all after exactly what we're after."
"No liberal talk whatsoever, none."
"Down here a Negro is a nigger."
"I mean, no one is ever to say one kind word about
niggers."
"Liberals are our enemies."
"The conservative isn't against the Niggers, he just
wants to keep him in his place for his own good."
(Pres. John Kennedy and Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy had waged
a bitter battle from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3, 1962, at the University of
Mississippi. The integration of one black student brought in the U.S. Army and
caused Gen. Edwin Walker to be confined.)
January 4, 1963, Larry Schmidt to B. Weissman, Munich:
"I want big men ... believe me if I had a dozen such
men I can conquer the world."
"I will go down in the history books as a great and
noble man, or a tyrant."
"I expect to see you here in Dallas, especially Norman
and Larry."
"If Jim Mosely is not here by Feb. 15, he is
finished."
"One thing had best be understood, I am not playing
games here in Dallas and expect you not to play games in Munich."
"I am not here in Dallas for my health or because I
think Dallas is a wonderful place."
"Continue to have regular meetings and try to get
things back in order in preparation for the big meetings."
February 2, 1963, Larry Schmidt:
"We have succeeded, the mission with which I was
charged in Dallas has been achieved."
"Friday night I attended a gathering of the top
conservatives in Dallas."
"The meeting was at the home of Dr. Robert Morris,
President of the Defenders of American Liberty."
"Present were Mr. George Ward, Detective for Dallas
City Police, Mr. Ken Thompson, editorial writer for the Dallas Morning News,
Mr. Clyde Moore, former PR man for H.L. Hunt, former UPI writer. (Eight
others)."
"I told them exactly what I wanted."
"Others suggested using an already existing movement,
named the Young Americans for Freedom, with already 50,000 members."
"CUSA, as set up in Munich, is now an established fact
in Dallas, only we are calling it YAF. I think you catch on."
"We are starting Munich chapters of YAF. To spread to
Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Berlin, Kaiserslautern."
"We are getting every top name in business, education,
politics, and religion to endorse YAF."
"The advisory board includes 37 congressmen . . .
including Sen. Strom Thurmond, Sen. John Tower, and Sen. Barry Goldwater. There
is Ronald Reagan, Gen. Mark Clark, Gen. Charles Willoughby, John Wayne,
etc."
"Change all your records to read YAF."
"All those months in Munich were not wasted. I
accomplished my task in Dallas. I need you here soon. I sold these people on
each of you and they are expecting you to come to Dallas and play an important
role."
"The days of leisure are over."
"We want to see you, Norman, Jim and Bill Burley back
here in Dallas."
"Sheila and my brother will be here in August; Ken
Glazebrook in Sept."
June 13, 1963, Larry Schmidt to B. Weissman in Munich,
Germany:
"Warren Carroll, our only other recruit to CUSA, is
already a PhD and two MS's. Warren is a scriptwriter for Lifeline, the H.L.
Hunt television and radio series. Hunt is the millionaire oilman."
"Warren is 32, former CIA man. Don't worry, he has been
checked out."
"Hunt checked him out."
(This appears to be a military action, DIA. They have to
check out the CIA man, using Hunt's security).
After Jack Ruby was arrested for killing Oswald inside the
Dallas jail, there were copies of Warren Carroll's Lifeline on the seat of his
car. The section was on "Heroism," on how to become a
"hero." This is interesting because one of the first reasons Ruby
gave for killing Oswald was, "I wanted to show them a Jew had guts."
"We want to get Norman into the Republic National Bank
... where we are building our credit like crazy for the day we need ready
cash."
(The Dallas Republic National Bank was identified by
the Washington Post, February 26, 1967, as a conduit of CIA funds since
1958.)
(Connie Trammel, who worked at the Republic National Bank,
accompanied Jack Ruby to the office of Lamar Hunt, Wednesday, Nov. 20, 1963,
two days before Kennedy was assassinated.)
October 1, 1963, Larry Schmidt to Munich, Germany:
"I have a lot of contacts, bankers, insurance men,
realtors."
"My brother began working as an aide to General Walker.
Paid full time."
"National Indignation Committee will merge in the Fall
of 1963, as soon as Bernie and Norman are in Dallas."
"This is a top secret merger and is not to be discussed
outside the movement."
October 29, 1963, Larry Schmidt to Munich Germany:
"This town is a battleground and that is no joke. I am
a hero to the right, a stormtrooper to the left."
"I have worked out a deal with the chairman of YAF. The
arrangements are always delicate, very delicate. If I don't produce the bodies
it is likely Dale (Davenport) will think me a phoney."
"He needs our help now. Adlai Stevenson is scheduled
here on the 24th."
"Kennedy is scheduled in Dallas on November 24."
"All big things are happening now."
1963: A few connections in Dallas -- Gen. Walter Dorberger,
Michael and Ruth Paine
When George de Mohrenschildt was
busy introducing Lee and Marina to the Dallas-Ft. Worth White Russian displaced
Czarists, he managed to keep the social level equal with his American contacts.
One casual dinner in the company of Michael and Ruth
Paine, and that was enough meeting to set the Oswalds’ course. George and Jeane
didn't have to meet with them again.
Ruth Paine would provide housing for Marina while Lee
went to New Orleans. A few weeks later, she drove Marina to join Lee. After
summer vacation at Wood's Hole, Mass., Ruth returned and brought Marina to her
home in Irving, Texas, while Lee was on the bus to Mexico with Albert
Osborne/John Bowen, and four other Solidarists from the Russian network.
After Kennedy was murdered, the Dallas police rushed to
the Paine's home. From that garage and elsewhere, via the Paines, came most of
the incriminating evidence against Oswald.
The alleged murder weapon never could be proven by the
Warren Commission as ever having come from their garage.
The cropped photo that Life printed with
Oswald holding a rifle came from a box removed from the garage, taken to the
police department, then returned the next day, with nobody present to indicate
where it came from.
Accessory after the fact, the letter was delivered to
Marina in December undated and unsigned, to cover up General Walker's anxiety
to blame a "Communist," Lee, for shooting at him in April and came
from Ruth to Marina. It wasn't in the home before then. The Warren Commission
required planted evidence sometimes in order to divert from Lee Oswald's links
to the Defense Department, assisted by Ruth and Michael Paine.
Michael Paine's occupation at Bell Aircraft is the
Defense Department. This job requires security clearances, so what would the
unlikely Oswalds be doing in his home? Oswald, the "defector?"
Paine's boss at Bell Aircraft as Director of Research
and Development, was none other than the noterious war criminal General Walter
Dornberger.
Dornberger was supposed to be hanged at Nuremburg for
his war crimes, slave labor and mass murders.
The British warned the U.S. not to let him live because
even after the war he was conniving for another one. As stated,
"Dornberger is a menace of the first order who is untrustworthy. His
attitude will turn ally against ally and he would become a source of irritation
and future unrest." (Project Paperclip. Clarence Lasby.)
The very first call to authorities after the gun went
off on November 22, 1963, was from an employee at Bell Helicopter who suggested
"Oswald did it." Police never located the source of both Oswald
addresses that day.
Michael Paine took Lee to a meeting with General Edwin
Walker shortly before the assassination. Soon Oswald would be charged with
having shot Walker in April, and Walker would be calling his nazi cronies in
Germany 24 hours after JFK was killed telling them he finally solved "who
shot through his window" seven months earlier: the same Oswald.
Who were the Paines? To believe the Warren Commission
and the CIA staff of lawyers, they were Mr. and Mrs. Good Neighbor, all heart,
altruistic. Ruth simply wanted to learn more Russian from a native. For that
price, she housed Marina, a two-year-old daughter, a new infant, with all the
fuss and mess of three extras in a tiny house.
Michael Paine was a descendant of the Cabots on both
sides. His cousin Thomas Dudley Cabot, former president of United Fruit, had
offered their Gibraltar Steamship as a cover for the CIA during the Bay of
Pigs. Another cousin was Alexander Cochrane Forbes, a director of United Fruit
and trustee of Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes.
Both Allen Dulles and John J. McCloy were part of the
United Fruit team. The Paine family had links with circles of the OSS and the
CIA.
Ruth Hyde Paine maintained close ties with the Forbes
families. Peter Dale Scott investigated the Paines, "the patrician Paine
and Forbes families." A far cry from anybody's neighbor.
Michael's education came as a tradition, third
generation physicist at Harvard before working for Bell Helicopter.
The British were correct on the Dornberger evaluation.
Another clue to Albert Speer, the Reichmaster for
Munitions and War Production, and General Dornberger, is their meeting as early
as April, 1943.
When it was obvious to Hitler they would be losing the
war against the USSR, all top Nazis made detailed plans for two years on how to
proceed next.
Speer met with Dornberger, at Peenemunde, the missile
and rocket factory run with Werner Von Braun, and instructed him in "the
dispersion of functions throughout the Reich."
Translated, that meant get ready to come to the U.S.
Lee Harvey Oswald, Albert Osborne
When Lee Harvey Oswald entered
Mexico at Laredo, Texas, on Sept. 26, 1963, his companion on the Red Arrow bus
was Albert Osborne, alias John Howard Bowen.
Bowen-Osborne had been running a school for highly
professional marksmen in Oaxaca, Mexico, since 1934. The cover for the place
was his particular mission, and he was the missionary.
The FBI records on Bowen go back to June 4, 1942, in
Henderson Springs, Tennessee. He operated a camp for boys known as
"Campfire Council." Neighbors complained it was for pro-nazi
activities with young fascists. Bowen vehemently opposed the U.S. going to war
with nazi Germany. They stomped on the American flag.
Before that, Bowen worked for the Tennessee Valley
Authority since 1933.
His dual citizenship between Great Britain and the U.S.
took him over the entire globe. So did his use of multiple aliases.
After the Warren Commission published their report in
September 1964, several attorneys in the Southwest recognized the name of
Osborne.
September 8, 1952, Jake Floyd was murdered. The target
was meant to be his father, District Judge Floyd. Two suspects were caught, one
got away. Their testimony was about being hired by Osborne and how he ran the
school for assassins.
Later investigation revealed Osborne's connections to
Division V of the FBI, and to Clay Shaw's Centro Mondiale Commerciale, with
funding coming from New Orleans for the CIA, Anti-Castro Cubans, and others.
Lee Harvey Oswald applied for a tourist card to enter
Mexico while still in New Orleans on September 17, 1963.
Four other persons, having consecutive tourist numbers,
departed nine days later, like Oswald, all to arrive at the same time, entering
from several different cities. They were part of the White Russian Solidarists,
the Gehlen emigre community that Lee and Marina mingled with.
This assassination team funded Maurice Brooks Gatlin,
Guy Bannister, and the Miami office of Double Check Corporation.
J. Edgar Hoover's Division V, Domestic Intelligence,
working with the American Council of Christian Churches, had used this group
from the Bowen-Osborne academy of assassins.
Volume XXV of the Hearings has many pages of interviews
with people who had sent money to Jack Bowen. They never met him, and some like
Mrs. Bessie White, Pikesville, Tenn., mailed "$35 a month to John Howard
Bowen who she believed had been doing missionary work for 18 years in Mexico."
Osborne-Bowen had a mission.
Lee Harvey Oswald, agent from U.S. Defense Dept., had a
team of doubles impersonating his behavior, leaving trails of anti-American
frustration and meetings with various people.
While Oswald was in Mexico just prior to Kennedy's murder,
the purposes were concealed. Meanwhile, the CIA and various authorities led
Oswald to the Cuban Embassy, the Soviet Embassy. When the face or voices didn't
match the authentic Oswald, it didn't matter, given a difference of 40 to 50
pounds and shape. What came from all this was the conclusion that Oswald had
really wanted to go to Cuba next. Which Oswald, and why?
This was to finalize with the illusion of an
Oswald-Castro admiration just days before Kennedy would be killed.
Senator John Tower and Marina Oswald
One of the most consistent
conservatives among Buckley's YAF Advisory Board was Senator John Tower, Texas.
If there is anything he wouldn't want in his back yard
it was a defector and his allegedly Communist wife from Minsk.
Yet, two years after joining the YAF team in 1960,
Tower was passing all waivers in order for Marina Oswald to get to the United
States as soon as possible. Without his permission, this trip might never have
taken place. Many wives from the USSR are not that lucky.
March 22, 1962, Senator Tower cooperated. "The
sanctions imposed on immigration and nationality are hereby waived in behalf of
Mrs. Oswald. The file check on Marina by the FBI, CIA, Dept. of Security
Office, Division of biographical intelligence and passport office,"
(Volume XXIV, 298).
George de Mohrenschildt testified in Volume IX, pages
228-229, "Marina Oswald's father had been a Czarist officer of some kind.
I don't remember whether it was army or navy."
Her real father was never identified by name in all of
the testimony.
Between 1948 and 1950 over 200 Byelorussian nazis and
their families were brought to New Jersey. Both George de Mohrenschildt and
Marina had come from Minsk, part of the Byelorussian area.
The Gehlen nazi emigres were useful to every part of
the Kennedy assassination cover-up.
John Tower knew Marina was a safe bet. Otherwise, why
the hurry? Our CIA and the Defense Department knew all there was to know about
both Oswalds. Therefore, Tower signed the immigration papers fast.
The Argentine Connections: Isaac Dan Levine and the Ziger
Family
The Warren Report wasn't published
until September, 1964. Testimony of witnesses and exhibits were being collected
up to the day of printing.
Yet as early as June 2, 1964, Isaac Don Levine, another
arch-enemy of Communists and a so-called expert on the Soviet mind, was
arranging with the Warren Commission staff to bring the daughters of Oswald's
boss, Alexander Ziger, from the Minsk Radio factory to Argentina. He suggested
using CIA assistance.
What was that about?
"When the Oswalds left Russia they smuggled out a
message to one of the relatives of the Zigers living in the U.S. They wanted
help to get the Zigers’ daughters out of Russia. The daughters, having been
born in Argentina, could claim Argentine citizenship. Levine suggested some
confidential source in the American Government such as the CIA should contact
the Argentine Government to set machinery in motion. (Memorandum from W. David
Slauson: Conference with Mr. Isaac Don Levine, May 23, 1964).
January 21, 1964, John J. McCloy told Commission
members, before any witness was yet called, "this fellow Levine is a
contact with Marina to break the story up in a little more graphic manner and
tie it into a Russian business, and it is with the thought and background of
Russian connections, conspiracy concept."
If there was a Russian conspiracy to kill President
John Kennedy, John McCloy, Isaac Don Levine, Allen Dulles, and J. Edgar Hoover,
not to speak of Nixon and others, would squeeze that out.
Remember Gary Powers strongly hinted at Oswald's role
in downing the U-2, breaking up the Eisenhower-Khrushchev meeting while Lee was
employed at the Minsk Radio factory?
Nicolae Malaxa, Otto Skorzeny, and international
CIA-DIA agents were thick in both Minsk and Argentina. It was Alexander Ziger
and his family who introduced Lee to Marina Oswald. That same evening they were
at the home of an unidentified woman just returned from the U.S.
The President of the U.S. had been murdered in 1963.
Six months later the CIA is supposed to assist the
Ziger daughters?
One more connection to Richard Nixon.
When poor Whittaker Chambers almost collapsed from the
strain of having to testify against Alger Hiss, it was Isaac Don Levine who
took "Chambers by the arm, a reluctant Chambers, and arranged the meetings
where he would begin to smear Hiss." (Friendship and Fratricide, Meyer
Zelig).
When Levine was searching for a Soviet connection to
Kennedy's death, he was also doing business with Marina's new manager, James
Martin. It was Martin who was selling the photo of Oswald posing with Communist
literature and a rifle, the same evidence pulled from the Paine's garage.
Notice the similarity to the Whittaker Chambers pumpkin papers years earlier
that launched Nixon's political career and convicted Alger Hiss.
If the evidence didn't fit the conclusions of the
investigators, the one picture would sell the Oswald assassin story.
"Treason for My Daily Bread" -- Argentina and
Martin Bormann
In August 1971, a French paper
headlined a news story, "Martin Bormann behind the Kennedy murders."
It listed an international band of killers that was located in Texas. They
carried out the two assassinations at the German command.
Six years later, June 8, 1977, the London Guardian
reported, "Bormann Linked with Kennedy Murder." This story was based
on a new book titled, Treason for My Daily Bread by Mikhail Lebedev.
Lebedev detailed how Martin Bonnann left Europe,
established his current life in Paraguay, and how the fatal head shot to
Kennedy was delivered by an agent paid by Bormann, alias of Zed.
Is any of this true?
Many of these allegations and names come together with
both Paris Flammonde's The Kennedy Conspiracy and the Nomenclature
of an Assassination Cabal, known as the Torbitt Document.
"Zed" allegedly used a .45 for the final
shot.
Buddy Walters, murdered January 10, 1969, picked up a
.45 slug in Dealey Plaza and gave it to the Dallas Police.
There were two possible assassination teams in Dallas.
The military from Munich, Germany, that was to take
over the YAF, with Robert Morris' help, have yet to be identified or
interviewed (Morris from U.S. intelligence, having to do with USSR covert
work.) Gen. Edwin Walker's arrangement with U.S. Military in Germany or, the
arrival of such people for Nov. 22, 1963, is open to question.
Albert Osborne's "mission" in Mexico, with
direct links to Clay Shaw's Centro Mondiale Commerciale, has never been
touched. This was the international band of killers with the Borghese-James
Angleton operations working throughout the world.
Otto Skorzeny's CIA and Reinhard Gehlen death squads,
with headquarters in Madrid, were funded by Martin Bormann when the Evita Peron
funds were shared after 1952.
Lebedev mentions "Ruth," David Ferrie, Clay
Shaw, Guy Bannister, and Colonel Orlov.
The very first day George de Mohrenschildt visited
Marina Oswald she was alone and Lee was working. He brought with him a
"Colonel Orlov."
The House Select Committee on Assassinations
"investigated" the murder of President John F. Kennedy from
1976-1978. The information about Bormann was available from 1971. Treason
for My Daily Bread was published while they were supposed to be finding
the smoking gun.
G. Robert Blakey, Chief Consul for the Committee,
refused to admit any research or documents on these subjects. He would hang up
the telephone and even refused to say if he had ever seen the Torbitt Document.
Six million dollars was allotted by Congress to
investigate the assassination of President Kennedy. Martin Bormann may have had
his motives for his actions through the years. What were G. Robert Blakey's?
What form of prosecution should be suggested for committees paid to uncover the
truth who continuously sweep under the rug?
In A Study of a Master Spy, published in London in
1961, Bob Edwards, a member of Parliament and Kenneth Dunne, presented
documentary evidence that Allen Dulles of the CIA carried on secret conferences
with representatives of Hitler's SS Security Office in February and March 1943.
They learned that "Official Washington knew Martin Bormann, Deputy Fuhrer
of Hitler’s Germany, master-minded the international 'Die Spinne' (Spider) underground
organization which is planning to revive nazism as soon as West Germany is
adequately rearmed by the United States. Official Washington seems
disinterested."
With John J. McCloy, Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover
in control of the Kennedy assassination investigation, these nazi connections
were buried.

The Bunge Corporation, Argentina & Germany
The stock market dropped 24 points
in 27 minutes when news of President Kennedy's assassination was announced. 2.6
million shares were sold off. It was the greatest panic since 1929.
Somebody made a huge profit selling short in many
markets.
Somebody made half a billion dollars in one day.
Coincidentally, the Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corporation, headed by
New Jersey commodities dealer Anthony De Angeles, crashed the same day, driving
the market down.
Allied Crude was controlled by U.S. American Bunge
Corporation and financially controlled by a group of share-holders
headquartered in Argentina, known as "Bunge and Born, LDA."
Business Week of October 19, 1963, one month before the
Kennedy assassination, described the Born family in Argentina, the biggest
shareholders for Bunge, as being from Europe, specifically Germany.
Everything about Bunge has German influence. They have
a $2 billion annual business in 80 countries. There are over 110 offices, all
linked by Telex and under-the-ocean telegraph channels. The Bunge Corporation
is referred to as "the Octopus."
The book Were We Controlled? detailed the
relationship of the Bunge Corporation, the foreknowledge of Kennedy's murder,
and the Argentine-German connections.
General Edwin Walker and the Hitler Nazis
The Eagle's Nest, now a mountain
restaurant, was given to Adolf Hitler by nazi aide Martin Bormann for the
fuhrer's 50th birthday. It is not far from Hitler's former summer home in
Berchtesgaden.
Nearby is the Platterhof Hotel, built for guests when
they came to pay their respects. The Platterhof has changed its name to the
General Walker Hotel.
November 23, 1963, one day after Kennedy's death, Gen.
Edwin Walker called Munich, Germany, from Shreveport, La.
Walker's important story, via transatlantic telephone,
was to the nazi newspaper Deutsche National Zeitung un Soldaten-Zeitung. Walker
couldn't wait to tell them in Munich that Lee Harvey Oswald, the lone suspect
in the Dallas murders, was the same person who shot through his window in
April, 1963.
There was never one shred of evidence, or a reliable
witness, that could make this connection Dallas police and FBI were taken by
surprise.
In order to cover this over-exuberance of trying to
link a Marxist assassin to this altercation, it became necessary to have Ruth
Paine deliver that ridiculous letter to Marina Oswald on December 3, 1964. The
delayed letter was to have been written the night Lee was out shooting in
Walker's home.
The only piece of bullet that remained in custody was
never positively identified as coming from the 6.5 Mannlicher Carcano, and
there is no proof Oswald even handled this rifle.
Why was General Walker in such a hurry to get his
information printed in Germany before anybody in Dallas ever heard about it?
Kurt-George Kiesinger had just been installed as
Chancellor of West Germany and Franz-Josef Straus as finance minister.
Kissinger entered the radio propaganda division of nazi
Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop at age 36. He was then directing a world-wide
radio propaganda apparatus with 195 specialists under his supervision during
the war. He was the liaison officer, coordinating his department's work with
that of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.
Richard Nixon and Kurt-George Kiesinger were soon, or
maybe before, to become pals. Nixon tried to hide his nazi past.
But General Walker, now home from military service in
Munich, knew the importance of such propaganda. He was calling the same people
who, under Hitler, published and controlled the newspapers.
There were two motives for this call.
First, it gave international attention to the fact that
Oswald, the Marxist gunman, was shooting at Walker as well as the President.
General Walker knew too many people in the Defense
Department and in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that could be part of this
assassination. He made himself appear as a victim instead of a suspect.
The other reason, along with the expertise of Robert
Morris's counter-intelligence and psychological warfare training, was to create
a profile for Lee Harvey Oswald.
No possible motive could explain why Oswald would
really want to kill President Kennedy. By having Oswald appear to shoot the
right-wing General Walker with his John Birch connections, his militant
anti-communist stance, then shoot John Kennedy, the same Commie-symp Walker was
accusing of treason, it would appear that Oswald was just nuts. He didn't know
right from left.
The Munich newspaper Walker called was linked to the
World Movement for a Second Anti-Komintern, part of the Gehlen and U.S. right.
Some of Hitler's ex-nazis and SS-men were on the Staff.
The editor, Gerhard Frey, was a close friend with
various nazi members of the Witiko League. The Witiko League and the
Sudetendeutch Landsmannscraft were organizations for displaced refugees. By the
summer of 1948 they formed large organizations and by 1955 Dr. Walter Becher was
elected to the executive board of the Witiko League. Becher was one of the
kingpins of nazi front organizations.
Sen. Joe McCarthy, Charles Willoughby, Gen. Edwin
Walker, and Robert Morris' links to the German nazis converged when Dr. Walter
Becher set up offices in Washington, D.C. in 1950.
By July 16, 1957, Becher, praised by American Opinion
and other extreme right publications, started his policy of liberation. General
Douglas MacArthur, Senator Joe McCarthy, General Willoughby, members of the U.S.
Congress or public officials then started openly to meet with and cooperate
with the nazi resurgence.
Dan Smooth, former Dallas FBI agent is the type of
person who kept strong nazi ties with Dr. Becher in Munich, to Western Goals
today. His printed sheets were identical to the Goebbels propaganda years ago,
or to Walker's disinformation one day after Kennedy was killed.
Volkmar Schmidt came from Munich, Germany, to work full
time for General Walker. How long did he work, and where was he on November 23,
1963, when Walker made the call to the same city the CUSA imports came from?
The YAF crowd in Dallas was an interesting gang: Col.
Charles Willoughby, intelligence Chief for S. Pacific, Robert Morris, U.S.
counter-intelligence and psychological warfare, Gen Edwin Walker, brought home
from Munich by JFK, William Buckley, CIA in Japan, Mexico, and elsewhere, Sen.
John Tower, who gave the okay for Marina Oswald.
1964: The Warren Commission
President Lyndon Johnson was forced
to select a commission to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy
and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.
Texas authorities were supposed to do the original
investigation.
There were too many suspicious people around the world
who believed a conspiracy existed. Those rumors had to be squelched.
J. Edgar Hoover's FBI never budged from its conclusion
that Lee Harvey acted alone. Whatever evidence didn't fit this decision was
ignored.
Twenty-six volumes of witness testimony and exhibits
were published. 8000 copies were sold. No more reprints. The contradiction
between the conclusions of the Warren Report, and the abundance of
discrepancies in the other volumes, makes fascinating reading.
Chief Justice Earl Warren, John J. McCloy, and Allen
Dulles were the logical choices for LBJ.
President Kennedy didn't trust Allen Dulles as CIA
Director. Now JFK was dead and Dulles would be in charge of all possible
"conspiracy" segments.
Richard Nixon, temporarily retired from politics for
the first time since 1946, selected Rep. Gerald Ford to be on this Commission.
Nixon selected Ford a second time when he ran home to escape impeachment during
Watergate.
One of the first subjects for commission members to
share in January, one month before witnesses were selected, was the matter of
Lee Harvey Oswald being a government agent.
Gerald Ford was the only member of the group to write a
book on the assassination. His book opened with the hushed and secret meeting
where allegations had been received that Oswald worked for the FBI.
What Ford left out of his book, and the commissioners
ignored in their Report, was that Oswald was also identified as working for the
CIA. Commission Chairman Earl Warren and Commission Attorney Leon Jaworski knew
about this. They stated that "Mr. Belli, attorney for Jack L. Ruby, was
familiar with these allegations."
Oswald's informant number was Number 110669.
How was that for a starter?
The next move was to start building the myth about the
deceased and ignore fact one, stated above. This grand commission would call in
a doctor who never met Lee Oswald or Jack Ruby to assist them with their
project, covering up.
Justice Warren suggested bringing in Dr. Overholser,
who "of course is not a lawyer. He is a doctor from St. Elizabeth's
Hospital." As the Chairman went on to explain, "we felt we ought to
have someone who, in that field, could advise us on matters concerning the life
of Oswald and possibly the life of Ruby also."
The next order of business was who should write the
Report for them? By January 21, 1964, that had to be decided.
Chairman Earl Warren said, "we consulted with the
Defense Department, and they have offered to lend us one of their historians to
do this job, and we think that it is quite essential to the work of the
Commission." Mr. Goldberg would assist from the Air Force. Mr. Cokery was
from the Army.
"Mr. Winnaker recommended them," Chief
Counsel J. Lee Rankin offered. "We would work with them to try to
anticipate all of the various historical aspects."
"Who's Who in the CIA" described
"Mr. Winnaker" as having been born in Germany in 1904. His full name
is Dr. Rudolph August Winnacker. He was an analyst for the OSS, historian in
the War Department from 1945-1949, and then Chief of Historical Division of the
Pentagon."
Was Winnaker the ilk of Willoughby? Or Reinhard Gehlen?
When did he come here from Germany? Where is he now?
Marina Oswald was the first witness
to testify on February 3, 1964.
Warren wanted nothing more than to make her
comfortable.
The first question dealt with the General Walker story
because Walker had blown it by calling Munich so soon. That scandal had to be
put to rest right away.
Warren asked Marina "if Exhibit 2 was familiar to
her because it was a picture of General Walker's house?"
Marina said, "no," but that wasn't good
enough.
She was asked again, and once more said, "I didn't
see it, at least, taken from this view I can't recognize it. I never saw the
house itself at any time in my life."
That wasn't sufficient. She just couldn't remember
"this particular one."
Chairman Warren was ready to go "off the
record." They had only just begun.
Chief Counsel Rankin suggested he show her "more
pictures," then maybe she would recognize the Walker home.
This time she was given a selection of a location in
New Orleans, two snapshots from Leningrad, and the same shot of the Walker
home. Because Walker wasn't living in a castle in Leningrad, Marina assumed
that house in Dallas must belong to "General Walker."
Therefore this was admitted for identification.
The Defense Department history could then proceed. "Marina Oswald
positively identified the photograph of General Walker’s home among Lee's possessions."
There are a lot of things that remain to be said about
this commission and their phoney report.
Admission of an old card trick at the beginning set the
tone for what was to follow. What was never supposed to come out was the use of
Reinhard Gehlen agents surrounding Lee and Marina Oswald for the purposes of
covering up the assassination conspiracy.
Two Lee Harvey Oswalds existed.
One memorized the Marine manual by age 17, went
directly into radar and electronic work. He trained at U-2 bases, learned the
Russian language, got himself into and out of the Soviet Union, wrote clear and
literate letters. He was met, upon arriving home, by Government agents,
provided with occupations, fathered two children, owed no debts, traveled around
a great deal, met with interesting oil geologists, defense department and
intelligence agents. Their social circle included the "Cabots and
Lodges" from Czarist Russia, Admirals and some fancy folks.
The other Oswald was one developed by the Warren Commission
to divert attention from the facts. Nobody ever saw the original
"diary" that he couldn't have possibly written.
Every Gehlen witness and emigre associated with the
CIA, Tolstoy Foundation, or Greek Orthodox Church was directed towards the most
ridiculous questions. From all that garbage the Defense Department wrote
the history.
The last thing that should happen is for the warriors
to interpret and define for us. The facts speak for themselves.
