PART 22:
TOTAL RUSSIAN DEFENSE
In 1968, the Soviets made a statement in *Military Strategy* that the USSR
has achieved a 100% defense, and the West has not (*Sokolovsky,* 3rd
Edition). Were they telling the truth, and if so, to what were they
referring? It is only a matter of life and death, you know.
Dr. Edward Teller said in 1987: "Today, the Soviets have a monopoly on
defense and they intend to keep it. We have done practically nothing about
civil defense." He also said, "The Soviets have worked for the past 10
years perfecting laser weapons and now have a laser capable of shooting
1,000 miles without its beam *spreading more than 5 feet"* (Jan.-Feb. 1987
*Fusion*).
PROJECT PAPERCLIP
Before we continue in time sequence of what happened, I want to go back and
point out some connections you need to know. The earlier *Fire From The
Sky* material says that Russia succeeded in developing anti-gravity
levitating platforms, which are the same things as commonly called flying
saucers. In fact the Soviets used former Nazi scientists to achieve their
advances.
The Nazis actually originated the "flying saucers," and they got their
ideas and information concerning them from extraterrestrials. This is what
all the records indicate. I will give you some leads and if you are
serious, you can do your own research and prove it to yourself. You don't
have to believe me or anyone else - check it out for yourself!
For information about the Nazi scientists, I suggest you study material
about Project Paperclip. (*Project Paperclip* by Clarence Lasby; *The
Torbitt Document* by William Torbitt; *The Nazi Connection to the John F.
Kennedy Assassination* by Mae Brussell; etc.) A former member of that
operation is a *good friend of mine.* Among the Germans (Austrians)
involved in Paperclip was a *Communist spy named Henry Kissinger* - you've
heard of him, perhaps?
Another German was Werner von Braun, who was brought to this country and
became head of the U.S. space program. Von Braun worked for a German
general named Walter Dornberger, and had been an *SS Sturmbannfuhrer* since
1937. Dornberger was in charge of Peenemunde. At the end of the war, von
Braun and 115 other German scientists surrendered to the Americans and were
brought to Fort Bliss, Texas (just across the state line from White Sands
Missile Range, New Mexico).
In 1950 they were transferred to the Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville,
Alabama. Col. Tom Bearden was a nuclear physicist at Redstone Arsenal. Von
Braun's original security report said: "He was an SS officer but no
information is available to indicate that he was ardent Nazi. Subject is
regarded as a potential security threat by the Military Governor."
Von Braun played down his SS membership and said that it was only honorary,
and that "his real reason for working in the Nazi missile program, he said,
had been the potential usefulness of his machines in 'space travel'"
(*Blowback,* p. 39).
Dornberger was convicted as a war criminal, then later was secretly brought
to the U.S. at the request of von Braun to High Commissioner John J.
McCloy. He went to work for Bell Aircraft (Bell Textron) where he worked on
the space program as director of R&D (James "Bo" Gritz, *Called to Serve,*
p. 511). He was also a special CIA consultant (*The Nazi Hunters,* p. 217).
Eventually he served on the board of several aerospace companies. He helped
develop a nuclear powered trans-atmospheric vehicle (TAV). These vehicles
began operating out of Area 51 in Nevada, and other places. Dornberger
became a boss of Bell Aerospace Corporation and had about 30 former Nazi
scientists working for him. A man named Stanton Friedman is going around
the country saying he has worked on these type of nuclear propulsion
systems. He sells videos with photos.
McCloy was Assistant Secretary of War and blocked the executions of many
Nazi war "criminals." He is the one who was overseer of the internment of
Japanese-Americans in concentration camps in California. In 1949 he became
High Commissioner in Germany and pardoned convicted war criminals such as
Alfred Krupp and Dr. Hjalmar Schact (who went to work for Aristotle
Onassis).
He became legal counsel to the "Seven Sisters" oil companies, one of which
was managed by the father of CIA agent George de Mohrenschildt who was a
Nazi spy in WW II. "George's cousin, the movie producer Baron Constantine
Maydell, was one of the top German Abwehr agents in North America, and was
recruited by Gehlen..." (Gritz, p. 538).
OPERATION SUNRISE
According to Col. Bo Gritz, former head of U.S. Army Special Forces for
Latin America, "General Reinhard Gehlen, Hitler's chief intelligence
officer against the Soviet Union, had struck a deal with the Americans
(Called OPERATION SUNRISE) that was not, for obvious reasons, released to
establishment media. The principal negotiators were Allen Dulles and
William Casey of the OSS, Sir William Stephenson for the British, and SS
General Karl Wolff, head of the Gestapo in Italy and former chief of
Heinrich Himmler's personal staff" (p. 562).
Operation SUNRISE developed into Operation OVERCAST with General Walter
Dornberger and Werner von Braun, and then became Project PAPERCLIP,
BLOODSTONE AND BELARUS, etc. (ibid.).
John McCloy, by the way, would later serve the Warren Commission and helped
cover up the assassination of JFK. He became head of the World Bank, head
of the Chase Manhattan Bank, head of the Ford Foundation, chairman of the
Council on Foreign Relations, and co-author of *Freedom From War, The
United States Program For General And Complete Disarmament In A Peaceful
World* (Department of State Publication 7277).
Von Braun had an assistant named Fred Wolff: "...that matter had been amply
met through Dr. von Braun's suggestions (which Wolff sketched out quickly
to receive von Braun's check)." *War For The Moon* by Martin Caidin, E.P.
Dutton, 1959, chapter "Project Moon," p. 61 (this book was illustrated by
Fred Wolff). Note above that the head of the Gestapo in Italy, Karl Wolff,
was working with von Braun. Was Fred's name originally Karl, or was he a
son? We are not talking Smith or Jones here, how many men named Wolff
(spelled with two f's) that were close friends of von Braun were there in
this very small organization?
Gehlen, von Braun and Dornberger continued to have considerable influence
on American politics, as evidenced from this quote from *Blowback,* p. 64:
"Gehlen also played a role in the creation of the famous missile gap of the
1950s. 'Gehlen provided us [the CIA] with specific reports on the Soviet
ICBM program,' Victor Marchetti says. 'He said, "We have two reliable
reports confirming this," and they [the Soviets] have just installed three
missiles at that site,' et cetera, claiming that they had contacts among
the German scientists captured by the Russians at the end of the war." The
intelligence reports were transmitted to the Pentagon through interagency
channels, and word about the alarming new development eventually leaked
from there into the press.
"Walter Dornberger added fuel to this fire in 1955 by publishing alarming
speculations that the Soviets might attack from the sea, using
shorter-range missiles deployed in floating canisters off the coast of the
United States. He was deeply involved in the United States' own ICBM
program at this point, and his opinions were given considerable weight in
public discussions."
PROJECT OVERCAST
On July 19, 1945, the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved a program called
Operation Overcast. Under this program, 350 German scientists and
technicians would be brought into the United States for a period of six
months. The program was labeled Top Secret to keep it from the American
public. (Ashman, Charles & Wagman, Robert J., *The Nazi Hunters,* Warner
Books, p. 212.)
When the Nazi scientists were brought into the U.S., they were first put up
at Camp Overcast. Camp Overcast was at Wright Field, which later became
famous among UFO researchers as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, home of
the infamous Hangar 18. Even Senator Barry Goldwater was not allowed access
to this facility.
Rabbi Stephen Wise, head of the American Jewish Congress, discovered that
the wife of one of the Wright Field rocket team was a former Nazi Party
official and in May 1946 said: "This operation [Paperclip, formerly called
Overcast] is all the more deplorable at a time when officials of our
government find every possible reason for failing to fulfill the declared
policy of President Truman to rescue as many victims of the Nazi terror as
our immigration laws permit... As long as we reward the former servants of
Hitler while leaving his victims in DP camps, we cannot even pretend that
we are making any real effort to achieve the aims we fought for."
Rabbi Stephen Wise is also famous for the quote: "Some call it Communism; I
call it Judaism!"
When the Germans were first brought into New York, "At Port Washing, they
lived in comfortable conditions at a castle that had been build by the
multimillionaire Jay Gould. They soaked in marble bathtubs and ate in an
imposing dining room" (p. 203, *American Swastika* by Charles Higham).
"In August 1945, General Walter Bedell Smith's private plane was used to
fly Gehlen and five of his general staff to the American capital. They
traveled in plain clothes, one of their members using a violin case for a
suitcase. It is interesting to note that Bedell Smith was Eisenhower's
chief of staff" (p. 260, *American Swastika*).
On March 4, 1946, the operation was changed to Operation Paperclip, with no
limits on the time or to the number of Germans.
Another German brought in, who was not a scientist, was Otto von
Bolschwing. He was educated at the University of London and the University
of Breslau. He joined the Nazi Party on April 1, 1932 and developed an
import/export business, owned a coal mine, and was involved with several
drug companies.
When the war broke out, he joined the SS and became an intelligence
officer, working with the German branches of General Electric and Standard
Oil. He was in charge of important funds that came through Nazi connections
with Allen Dulles in the Schroeder Bank of New York. In 1945 he was
contacted by the Army CIC and in 1947 was a member of the Gehlen
organization. He came to the United States and got a job with Alfred
Driscoll, former governor of New Jersey and president of Warner-Lambert
drug company.
Later he joined the Transinternational Computer Investment Corporation
(TCI) in Silicon Valley, California and became vice-president of the
company. Reinhard Gehlen worked for TCI during the time he was helping
Richard Nixon run for President.
MICHAEL PAINE
Those who studied the assassination of President Kennedy perhaps will
recall that Lee Harvey Oswald's wife Marina was staying with Ruth Paine. On
April 30, 1961, Oswald married Marina Pruskova in the Soviet Union. He
wrote to U.S. Senator John Tower for help in returning to the United
States, and it was granted. Remember, Oswald had denounced and left the
United States, then he asked a U.S. Senator for help in returning, and got
it! Why did he pick Tower to ask, and why did Tower help him? Tower took
Lyndon Johnson's place in the Senate and later became head of the Armed
Services Committee.
A special non-quota immigrant permit was issued for Oswald's wife. Oswald
and Marina arrived in the U.S. on June 13, 1962 and went to Dallas. "He
returned to Dallas on October 2, 1963, and was met by fellow CIA agents
George de Mohrenschildt and Ruth and Michael Paine. Michael Paine worked
for Nazi war criminal Gen. Walter Dornberger at Bell-Textron in Dallas"
(Gritz, p. 529). Next page - "Most of Oswald's contacts in Dallas, in fact,
were with persons hired by Dornberger."
The majority of people who testified about Oswald before the Warren
Commission were carefully selected Dornberger associates. Gritz says of
these very people: "Eastern European and Russian emigre groups supplied by
Gehlen were the personnel initially trained for these missions at a special
camp set up at Oberammergau in 1946, under the command of General Sikes and
SS General Burckhardt, and with the assistance of Henry Kissinger and
Lucius Clay. The camp held 5,000 anti-communist elements who were prepared
there and called themselves "Special Forces" (p. 564).
This was the origin of the U.S. Army Special Forces and on the next page
Gritz says: "Many of the remainder underwent special guerrilla training as
Special Forces recruits at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and helped form the
nucleus of the present-day Green Berets. They would later be quite at home
at their first assignment - the SS Bad Tolz Flint Kaserne in the heart of
the Bavarian Alps."
And on page 566 Gritz says: "Gehlen's immediate staff of about 350 agents,
in fact, were brought en masse to the U.S. Army's Historical Division.
Almost all resistance to using Nazi war criminals to accomplish the CIA's
missions seemed to have been overcome by the time Allen Dulles became
Director in 1953." The Nazi SS Death's Head insignia was adopted as the
symbol of the U.S. Army Special Forces (p. 567).
CIA agent George de Mohrenschildt's boss in the CIA was George Bush. De
Mohrenschildt had a close friend, John W. Mecom, who was one of the
incorporators of the San Jacinto Fund which was used to launder Bush's drug
money. ("Surreptitious Entry: The CIA's Operations in the United States,"
by Thomas B. Ross of the *Chicago Sun Times* in *The CIA File,* edited by
Robert L. Borosage and John Marks (Viking, 1976), and quoted in *The Mafia,
CIA & George Bush* by Pete Brewton, p. 317.)
De Mohrenschildt had another friend, Jean de Menil, president of
Schlumberger Corporation. Jim Garrison tells of Schlumberger being the
source of weapons involved in anti-Castro operations and in Algeria. In
1977, hours after arranging to meet an investigator for the House Select
Committee on Assassinations, de Mohrenschildt joined the long line of
people involved in the Kennedy assassination who "committed suicide."
If you have the stomach to check into it, you will find that Presidents
Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and Bush *shot* their way into the Presidency. And
people keeping a list have identified over 30 people close to President
Clinton who have been murdered or at least died under mysterious
circumstances. If you count the wars, our Presidents have been responsible
for the deaths of thousands of people. Tell me, friend, are you a
Republican or a Democrat?
Oswald told a public stenographer that an "engineer" (Michael Paine)
offered to publish a book about the Soviet Union for Oswald if he would
write it. The Paines began to subsidize the Oswalds and later Mrs. Oswald
moved in with the Paines, where she and Ruth chatted every day in Russian.
Lee Harvey Oswald then went to New Orleans and became involved with the
"Fair Play For Cuba Committee." The head of that committed was a Jew named
V.T. Lee, real name Tappin. Researchers of Lee Harvey Oswald must take into
account the fact that there were several people claiming to be Oswald.
While living with the Paines, Oswald practiced shooting with a rifle he
kept in their garage. Some say he took a pot-shot at General Walker at this
time. In September, it was announced that President Kennedy would visit
Dallas, and three weeks later Mrs. Paine called Mr. Truly, the manager of
the Texas School Book Depository and got Oswald at job working there, under
the name of "O.H. Lee." (*New York Post,* Dec. 10, 1963, p. 22.)
