The Smoking Gun in the JFK Murder

Some documents have been circulating for some time purporting to be the smoking gun in the murder of President John F Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dealey Plaza. We believe that they are plausible enough to warrant a brief examination.

The documents in question come allegedly from the safe of James Angleton, the chief of counterintelligence for CIA from 1954-75. More specifically the documents consist of various memoranda produced by the hyper secret MJ-12  Special Studies Project formed by President Truman to examine UFO and extra terrestrial phenomena in the wake of the Roswell, NM sighting in 1947. The CIA and government for years strenuously denied the existence of this group, but too many documents have leaked to maintain the charade with a straight face.

Interestingly the documents were salvaged from the flames and passed to Timothy Cooper around 1999. The scavenger’s identity is not known, but he was instructed to burn the papers of Angleton upon his death, leading us to believe that he was a high level and loyal lieutenant.

The group is said to have consisted of Nelson Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, Edward Teller, John McCloy, Dean Acheson, Averell Harriman, George Bush, Sr, McGeorge Bundy, Henry Kissinger, Zbignew Brzezinski, and Lyman Lemnitzer. There is some debate as to whether Nelson Rockefeller or Allen Dulles headed the group, but we suspect that it was Rockefeller. J Edgar Hoover is cited by one researcher as a member of the group, but of the memos indicates that he was to be admitted on a limited basis.

John Kennedy was briefed about the Roswell incident when he was a freshman Congressman and maintained an interest in these matters over the following years until he entered the White House as president at which time he requested CIA to brief him on the MJ-12 group and their activities. In addition to UFOs, the group studied psychological warfare and mind control technologies.

One of the documents reveals that Dulles specifically instructed the group to deny the president any information about MJ-12 or their knowledge on the grounds that he was not authorized to see any documents or share information., a response we are certain that encouraged him to vow to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces. In any event, he set in motion a series of bureaucratic plays to pry loose the information.

The DCI issued the following undated and unsigned memo to the MJ-12 distribution which among other matters included the following statement.

…As you know LANCER [Kennedy] has made some inquiries regarding our activities which we cannot allow…

These 2 details regarding date and signature form the basis of the main critique against the documents. However, they have been forensically corroborated as being of the period in question – namely Kennedy’s presidency.

However, we do know that Kennedy was formally rebuffed in the matter of a briefing after he made his request in June 1961. So it seems reasonable that this memo in question may have been drawn around that time.

As part of his bureaucratic maneuverings, Kennedy launched a diplomatic initiative with the USSR for joint space exploration which required that the CIA furnish not only NASA but several other federal agencies, along with the USSR, the MJ-12 files on UFOs.

Although Khrushchev initially rejected the proposal, by November 12, 1963 he changed his mind, telling his son at one point that there could be economic advantages to shouldering the costs of space exploration. Kennedy also sent a Top Secret memo to McCone instructing the CIA to carry out his orders regarding the sharing of files.

The following excerpt from Tab H of a 9 page memorandum retrieved from the fire:

Draft, Directive Regarding Project ENVIRONMENT. When conditions become non-conducive for growth in our environment and Washington cannot be influenced any further, the weather is lacking any precipitation (misspelled as percipitation in memo) ... it should be wet

At least 2 authorities, Dr Robert Wood and Dr Michael Salla, have interpreted this paragraph of the memo to indicate that Washington – ie. Kennedy – should be wet – ie murdered.

There is some vagueness about the identity of MJ-1. Although we believe that most interpret it to be Allen Dulles or John McCone depending upon the date of the memo, there is also reason to believe that it may be Nelson Rockefeller since he was the alleged head of MJ-12. For now, we assume that it is Dulles – whether in his official or unofficial capacity.

The author of the memo is asking for a response by October for approval to proceed with plans, which again is interpreted as the murder of John Kennedy.

We know that the murder was set in motion no later than April 1963, so perhaps this memo is a last minute gate check before committing to the project. Clearly Kennedy’s persistence in gaining access to the MJ-12 files was beginning to become a craw in the MJ-12 group’s backside. Kennedy’s attempt to regain the control which Eisenhower lost over the secret society would be rebuffed by force if necessary.

We recently published information relating to tapped telephone conversations involving many of the same members of MJ-12 capturing the discussion of Kennedy's assassination, although the evidence is admittedly 2d hand at best.

We also acknowledge that other factors contributed to Kennedy’s demise, so we are not advocating that MJ-12 was the sole cause, but it may well have been the necessary cause.

We have noted some weaknesses in the documentary evidence implicating Dulles and Angleton in the murder, but we believe that it is fully consistent with other evidence and analysis showing that the Military Industrial Complex was the authority for the coup of 1963. We remain convinced that Rockefeller, Dulles, and Angleton were the chief sponsors of the murder.

Research Note: Johnson and Rockefeller Connections

Relatively little has been understood by most Americans regarding the close relationship between Nelson Rockefeller and Lyndon Johnson, but it is critical in understanding their conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.

 

After discovering the close links between the Republican and Democrat politicians, it is now easy to see how they collaborated to murder a president, each man representing the 2 most powerful interests in the crime.

 

Researchers have long known that powerful interests in New York and Texas provided the means and funding to depose the president. But the actual connecting points have never been properly identified. We can state that the primary actors were the two under discussion. In addition to representing the powerful oil and industrial factions, Johnson also represented the Jewish cabal involved in the murder.

 

Naïve Americans who believe the silly nonsense of the two party system and in the demarcations between the 2 parties can move on to another website - this information is clearly not for you. Whatever pretenses of rivalry are displayed to the public are merely to indulge the plutocrats' sense of theater and their contempt for Americans in general.

 

Establishment stalwart Robert Dallek wrote the following insightful paragraph in his book, Flawed Giant, about Johnson:

 

Toward the end of April [1968], Johnson invited the Rockefellers to the White House for dinner, where he urged the governor to declare for the Republican nomination. “He was very friendly about ’68, and very supportive of me for ’68,” Rockefeller said. Johnson also told him he would never campaign against him. Happy Rockefeller remembered how during that evening Johnson urged Rockefeller to run. “He did want Nelson to be President,” she said. Johnson encouraged others to back Rockefeller as well. On April 7, after Irwin Miller, a prominent member of “Republicans for Johnson” in 1964 had asked whether the president would object to his chairing a Draft Rockefeller Committee, LBJ have Miller “a full speed go-ahead.”

This forces us to make a final correction to our assessment regarding Johnson's role in the murder of Kennedy. We had finally, and even recently, concluded that Johnson was a secondary supporting player based upon his unexpected abstention from the 1968 presidential campaign. We thought that he may have feared continuing in office, with his life possibly in danger.

 

The truth appears to be that Johnson was deferring to his partner in crime for the high office, especially since his stock had fallen to all time lows, and a good gambler knows when to fold.

 

This closeness between the 2 men was predicated upon intersections of their interests in politics, and more importantly, in intelligence, going back at least to the 1940s. Rockefeller's ties to the CIA and psychological warfare operations is well known, and without doubt Johnson fell into Rockefeller's orbit on this matter.

 

We also recently published information provided to Robert Stich by Colonel Trenton Parker, formerly of the CIA Pegasus group, that Parker had heard tapes of several men discussing the Kennedy assassination, which tapes were supposedly given to Congressman Larry McDonald, possession of which led directly to his demise.

 

Thus the ring leaders in the murder of Kennedy have been finally identified, and the heads of the major branches of the conspiracy emanating from New York and Texas. The secondary lesson is that the rivalry between the 2 political parties is histrionics for naïve people.

The Cuban Missile Crisis Hoax

America was brought to the brink of nuclear annihilation in October 1962 when the USSR and USA had come to loggerheads over the matter of Cuba and missiles. The truth is that the episode of Cold War politics was grand theater.

The basic story is well known to most Americans. The Soviet Union under Nikita Khrushchev had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba under the auspices of Fidel Castro, only 90 miles away from the south of Florida. The Kennedy administration found itself faced with the first substantive violation of the Monroe Doctrine in 150 years, to say nothing of a potential nuclear catastrophe.

The story is also a bit more complex because the Soviets were not acting entirely aggressively. They objected to the Titan missiles which the United States had planted in Turkey and elsewhere in Europe near Soviet territories and their vassal states.

Kennedy found himself in a precarious situation after the matter of missiles was first released in the press by people who were not entirely naïve about the situation. The president could not tolerate the presence of these missiles in this hemisphere thereby looking weak to the Soviets. Nor could he act too aggressively with America held virtually hostile to the missile threat.

Kennedy's generals were bellicose, frothing at the mouth for an all out nuclear war. The president, with moral support from his brother, had to face down both the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were mentally defective, and the Soviets at the same time.

Most Americans know about the back channel communications Kennedy initiated with Khrushchev, bypassing a furious State Department, so we will not rehearse it here. In the end, this ruse is credited for the détente in tensions which kept the world on edge for 2 weeks.

What most Americans do not know is that the crisis was entirely manufactured by the Rockefellers, who not only governed the USSR, but who also, through the CIA, installed their puppet Fidel Castro in power. Most students of history would scoff at the idea of the Rockefellers directing Soviet actions, but we know from sources, such as Charlotte Iserbyt, who observed them in Moscow that they were so common a presence that one high level Soviet scientist thought that they were politburo members.

We have reported elsewhere how the CIA installed Castro as a replacement for Batista, knowing full well that he was a communist. In fact they had trained him as such. Furthermore, George Bush was the bagman who ferried money to the dictator for compensation, arms, and other special concessions. We understand that Bush's handler at the time was E Howard Hunt, one of America's foremost scumbags.

Thus the Rockefellers designed the missile crisis as a gambit to destroy the Kennedy presidency, and to take over America in coup predicated upon abject fear - just as they and their acolytes in the Bush Crime Syndicate would do on September 11, 2001. The Rockefellers assumed that America would acquiesce to a military junta led by Nelson Rockefeller.

Rockefeller's sick mind was on display when he, as chairman of the Office of Civilian Defense, explained to citizens on television how to prepare for nuclear war. Not only did he know that there was no risk of nuclear war, but he demonstrated his complete contempt for Americans as he whipped them into a frenzy over the imminent war.

He assumed that Kennedy would fold like a cheap suit, and when he didn't, resorted to plan B by assassinating him the following year. That is what Nixon meant by the "whole Bay of Pigs thing."

It is important for Americans to know that they were played like a cheap fiddle in the fake Cuban missile crisis. Many government officials were fooled into thinking that they were on the brink of nuclear war, but the truth was quite the opposite. As John Lennon stated it, it was a bunch of mind games.

Why Nixon Was in Dallas on November 22

[Editor's Note: 5/9/2021: We are discarding this somewhat kooky theory in the trash heap which is now taking space with a few other ones we have had to disown along the way as we acquired knowledge and understanding. We will publish a follow up article which may put Nixon in the innocent column once again - though certainly no saint. The American Chronicle: Rethinking Nixon in Dallas]

Richard Nixon is among that rare party of 2 who claimed not to recall where he was on November 22, 1963 when President John Kennedy was murdered in the City of Hate in Dealey Plaza. We believe that he was there at the command of his boss Nelson or David Rockefeller.

 

Although Nixon claimed at various times not recall his exact whereabouts on that fateful Friday - much like George Bush, he would also claim to be in New York in a taxicab, or at an airport, or God only knows where. What is beyond dispute is his presence in Dallas on November 21, and the morning of November 22. His presence speaks volumes.

 

It is no mere coincidence that 4 US Presidents were in Dallas on November 22 - John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, George Bush, and Richard Nixon.

 

Nixon had plausible deniability as corporate counsel for Pepsi which was conducting a board meeting there - quite an unusual location for the company headquartered in New York.

 

While Nixon may have had been on client business at the time, his real paymaster was not Pepsi, not even his law firm. Nixon was a protégé of the Rockefellers through the agency of Prescott Bush who catapulted Nixon to national prominence when Nixon offered his services and sworn loyalty by destroying the naval intelligence papers showing the Dulles brothers intricately and intimately linked to leading Nazis in Germany.

 

Nelson and David were the powers behind the throne who elevated the 2 time electoral loser Nixon to president. Nixon's rise to grace required that he sell his soul - again - this time as a bagman in the murder of the man who narrowly defeated him for president in 1960.

 

As the assassination drew near, it needed a final confirmation from the plutocrats who desired and approved the murder. Thus they sent Nixon to Dallas to confirm the operation. Nixon could have been sent without his explicit knowledge, but we think that Nixon knew why he was sent, and may have even conveyed cash to needy participants.

 

Nixon also had another relationship to Dallas in the person of Jack Ruby, one of Nixon's associates going back to at least 1947. The mobster was hired by Nixon in the 1950s for jobs unknown, so it was a natural that Nixon would be the go between for the plutocrats and the mobsters in Dallas. Indeed the ubiquitous Ruby seems to be the gluon who held many of the conspirators together.

 

The reason we think that Nixon fudged and hedged his stories about his location on the 22d is that he knew full well why the Rockefellers sent him to Dallas, an act which makes Nixon an accessory to murder. It also explains why Nixon is heard on the tapes telling Haldeman to "Get Bush to do it - he'll do anything!" Indeed Poppy did do anything and everything related to the murder of John Kennedy.

 

Thus we jettison our previous ideas about Nixon's innocence and cast him with Judas and his 30 pieces of silver.

Research Note: The Relationship Between John Mitchell and Nelson Rockefeller

Some writers have asserted a personal attorney client relationship between President Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell (1913 - 1988 ) and billionaire Nelson Rockefeller (1908 - 1979). Although we may be splitting hairs over its nature, we must question that the relationship existed.

One author who has written of such an association is Paul Drockton who states that Mitchell was Rockefeller’s personal attorney. Steven Ambrose, who may have been the source of the claim, makes the same statement according to Will Banyan.

The significance of the alleged relationship is that it is another example of Rockefeller’s tentacles reaching into the White House, and is often used to buttress the case that Rockefeller surrounded Nixon with his lieutenants to do his bidding. The relationship is also used to illustrate how Rockefeller, through Mitchell, setup Nixon in a cushy position following his defeat in California’s gubernatorial race in order to puff him up for the 1968 presidential election.

The foregoing paragraph is a mouth full, but requires some dissection. Gary Allen, who was on the leading edge of conspiracy analysis in the 1960s and 1970s, reported that Mitchell's law firm handled Chase Manhattan's trust business, but stops short of naming Mitchell as Rockefeller's personal attorney.

 

Indeed the Rockefeller Archive Center declares that John Mitchell was never the personal attorney of Nelson Rockefeller. Mitchell was bond counsel for Governor Rockefeller when he created his moral obligation bonds as a means of defying the voters of New York who did not want the extravagant spending planned by Rockefeller.

 

However, Allen does state that Elmer Bobst arranged for the employment of Nixon in Mitchell's law firm following the failed gubernatorial run. Whether this arrangement involved Rockefeller directly is unknown, but Nixon became the latter's neighbor in New York once Nixon took up his new position.

 

In some people's minds, this null relationship between Mitchell and Rockefeller undermines the general thesis of Rockefeller's controlling interest in Nixon since there is now no pathway between Rockefeller and Nixon. Since the relationship between the first two men was more of an official business relationship rather than private or personal, it means that the distance between them is greater than suspected or asserted. However, this does not alter the basic narrative that Rockefeller surrounded Nixon with his men. Indeed, Nixon appointed the most Council on Foreign Relations alumni to his administration of any president up to that point.

 

Nor does the absence of Mitchell's agency mean that Nixon and Rockefeller did not have a close knit political relationship. It is conceivable that Mitchell acted upon Rockefeller's wishes to provide sanctuary for Nixon until it was time to dust him off for the 1968 election with Bobst as the intermediary.

 

The CFR, a creature of the Rockefellers, is blatant in its goals to obliterate the Constitution in favor of one world government, with none other than the CFR and fellow travelers ruling the world. David Rockefeller has conceded as much in his biography.

 

We admit that the point of contesting the alleged Mitchell - Rockefeller relationship is slim, but worth noting so that one does not sustain a fact deficit when confronting the militant NWO partisans.

Why Nixon Did Not Destroy the Tapes

Nixon releasing tape transcripts (Photo: pimall.com)

One of the enduring mysteries of the Watergate scandal has been the reason why Nixon did not destroy the tapes containing incriminating conversations against him. Thanks to the astute analysis of Gary Allen, we know the answer – Nixon simply was not in a position to destroy them.

Even special prosecutor Leon Jaworski admitted that without the tapes, he had no case against Nixon. This statement comes from a man who fabricated evidence and suborned perjury to convict an innocent man of murder during World War 2. Jaworski’s case was so foul that years later a review board would castigate it as a gross miscarriage of justice .

The common argument at the time of Watergate was that had Nixon destroyed the tapes, he would have saved his presidency, even at the risk of a dark cloud hanging over his administration for the remainder of its term. Without evidence there is no case. The predicate of the argument is false. It assumes that Nixon had full control over the taping system which he did not.

The two key figures to understanding the taping fiasco, which started when Alexander Butterfield, White House liaison to the Secret Service and CIA informant or agent, casually but oh so deliberately mentioned the tapes to the Senate Watergate committee in July 1973, are Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig.

Kissinger established the plumbers after agitating Nixon incessantly about leaks, a situation which was exacerbated by the staged Pentagon Papers leaks, a report drier than saw dust and about 5 years old by the time CIA operatives leaked it. But it’s the principle of the thing, as the old saying goes.

Kissinger’s paranoia was not restricted to hiring the CIA Plumbers. He installed extensive wiretaps on all of his staff and several journalists, a fact known at the time of Watergate but never once reported in the major press. Kissinger skated through Watergate without a singed hair – something which was not accidental.

Butterfield was in charge of the taping system which had been installed in the White House at the suggestion of Lyndon Johnson when Nixon assumed office. Our recollection is that it did not become operational until around 1971, with an improvised system in place in the mean time. In any event, the system in place at the time of Watergate was transparent in that it was voice activated and operated without Nixon’s involvement. Butterfield monitored Nixon’s movements and conversations from his White House office.

In addition to much of the foregoing analysis, Gary Allen presented two compelling explanations about Nixon’s inaction over the tapes, neither of which has anything to do with Nixon greed or vanity, both of which are common explanations. Allen suggests that Nixon did not have control of the tapes and that there were multiple copies of them, meaning that destruction of one tape would still leave others available. And not knowing their locations, the task becomes like trying to stomp out cockroaches.

This is where Alexander Haig, the man who butchered Nixon without the latter having a clue, comes in. Allen points out that the investigating staffs seemed to know exactly where in the many miles of tapes all of the incriminating evidence was. The only people with such access were Butterfield, Haig, and Robert H. Taylor, the secret service chief whom Bob Haldeman fired and who later went to work for Nelson Rockefeller as head of his security. But Haig and Butterfield were colleagues from previous assignments. Thus when Butterfield left the White House, Haig became the keeper of the tapes archives.

Apparently Haig, with advice from Butterfield, fed the precise location - down to the second - of the damning evidence to the Watergate Committee and Special Prosecutor. There is no way in the world anyone could have traversed those tapes and made sense of them in so short a period of time without knowledgeable help which Haig was only too happy to provide. Even today, we still do not have all of the tapes transcribed.

Nixon was a caged animal trapped by men who were supposed to be working for him, but who were in fact working for their true boss, Nelson Rockefeller. The implications of Nixon's downfall are staggering, but a topic we will continue to cover in future postings.

Kraemer vs Detente

Fritz Kraemer (photo: Watergate.com)

Few Americans have heard of Fritz Kraemer, but Len Colodny and Tom Shachtman present him as the eminence grise who animated a generation of neo-conservatives, beginning in the late 1960s, who took American foreign policy from containment to confrontation. While Kraemer was undoubtedly influential, we think that this is a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Richard Nixon came to office with an obscure plan to quickly end the Viet Nam War – one so secretive that journalists joked that Nixon didn’t even know what it was. The joke was on them, however, as Nixon’s first act as president was the implementation of National Security Decision Memorandum 2 which reorganized the National Security Council as a secret coordinating bureau for his ambitious plans to reshape America’s geo-political landscape by launching numerous diplomatic overtures to the USSR and People’s Republic of China.

In reorganizing the NSC, Nixon purposefully sidestepped the State Department, CIA, and Defense Department, to create microcosms of the departments’ functions within the White House, in order to establish back channels to the aforementioned governments and to operate without interference from these organizations. While not entirely novel, the scope and intents of these stealth operations certainly were unprecedented.

 

During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, Kennedy had established back channel communications with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in order to avoid the bellicose and nuclear war oriented poison of his official government, namely the Pentagon and State Department. Though Kennedy continued occasional correspondence with the Premier via Dobrinyn, he did not embark on any large scale strategic initiatives through this mechanism although he clearly anticipated its advantages.

 

Nixon selected Henry Kissinger as his National Security Director, a man who rose out of academic obscurity to become one of the most influential bureaucrats of the 1970s and beyond. Kissinger had grown up a military hawk under the tutelage of Fritz G A Kraemer, an even more obscure bureaucrat in the Pentagon whose stridently hawkish military philosophies would influence a cadre of officials for decades to come, not the least of which was Alexander Haig.

Kraemer and Kissinger met as World War 2 soldiers who had enlisted in the army, from which time the older Kraemer mentored Kissinger in his career selections following the war. Naturally, when Kissinger needed a deputy, he consulted Kraemer for a recommendation, which as we already noted was Alexander Haig, another one of his protégés.

Whereas Haig remained a loyal Kraemerite, Kissinger would outgrow his mentor’s ideas while under the tutelage of Nixon. This is a remarkable insight and development. Kissinger is often portrayed as the erudite consummate diplomat while Nixon is rendered as a gauche inelegant parvenu. Certainly the Nixon tapes lend justification to that portrait, but it may be incomplete and unfair. For Nixon to influence the bookish Harvard professor would speak volumes – potentially - to Nixon’s towering intellect and aspirations. Or it could mean that they were both taking orders from Nelson Rockefeller, a thesis we will develop in a future essay.

Nixon made his reputation as a Cold Warrior, but we suspect that the Cuban Missile Crisis, Viet Nam, and the high stakes of nuclear politics caused him to reappraise his former ideas. In any event, Nixon was certainly more of a pragmatist rather than a doctrinaire hawk. Indeed he was never afraid to use military force against the North Vietnamese to back them into a negotiating corner, but he also realized that the military power had limited utility.

At the same time, we suspect that Nixon realized that the geo-political stakes of brinkmanship were too high, and that a more thoughtful approach to foreign policy would achieve greater dividends. In many respects, Nixon was resuming the policy directions first adumbrated by Kennedy in the closing days of his presidency. The effects of this policy orientation would continue until the inauguration of the Reagan administration which only modified the means – rather than the ends – of Nixon’s grand strategy.

On the other hand, Nixon’s contempt for due process and open government nearly undid his achievements, and certainly undid his presidency. In bypassing the established organs of government, he created distrust and suspicion of the highest order – so much so that the Joint Chiefs of Staff opened a spy ring on the president, stealing numerous and highly sensitive secret documents from Kissinger and elsewhere to determine exactly to what Nixon was conspiring – and to force his hand if necessary.

In fact, Nixon sent Kissinger in February 1969 to Soviet Ambassador Dobrinyn to inform him that the United States was relinquishing any interest in military victory in Viet Nam. This forfeiture was an act of treason in the eyes of the Kraemer School pupils who saw this abandonment of an ally and a just cause as “provocative weakness” - a stance inviting aggression from enemies.

With American men dying in the swamps and highlands of Viet Nam, this action smacked of treason. But Nixon surely shared the same distrust of the men who killed Kennedy. Thusly, the American government showed itself a house divided – domiciling antithetical factions under a single roof. Nixon knew, as his chief of staff Bob Haldeman noted in his memoirs, that the Bay of Pigs and associated activities was much bigger than Castro or Cuba, and perhaps felt justified in bypassing the formal government structures in pursuing his peace objectives.

While Colodny and Shachtman spend considerable time on the influence of Kraemer and the birth of the Neocons in the ostensible betrayal by Nixon, they do not allocate as much attention to Nixon’s reformation from Cold Warrior to Peace Champion. They do mention a paper Nixon wrote for the Council on Foreign Affairs circa 1967 in which he presents the rationale for détente as abandoning the naiveté of ignoring the red elephant in the room – in this case two of them.

But the CFR is a Rockefeller organization, and we have regarded some or all of the Rockefeller brothers as instigators – nay even authors – of the Kennedy assassination on the grounds that he overstepped his bounds in withdrawing from Viet Nam, reconciling with Cuba, and other such sins. But Nelson Rockefeller resuscitated Nixon’s political fortunes by bringing him to New York after his loss in California in 1962, establishing him in a posh New York City apartment, providing a sinecure attorney position, and reviving his personal fortunes.

It is thus very possible that Nixon developed his détente persona under the tutelage of the Rockefellers who saw that strategy as a stepping stone for world government – a goal which David Rockefeller admitted in his biography as a longtime goal. Nixon may have passed on to Kissinger these ideas, transforming him from a rabid hawk to internationalist par excellence – and no, that is not said as a compliment.

It is not inconceivable that the New World Order Rockefellers and the Kraemer Neoconservatives dovetail in a well orchestrated plan to achieve world government – a goal near and dear to John Rockefeller, Jr’s heart. Additional research and analysis is required to reconcile the two seemingly opposed strategies, but we believe them both to be managed by the same plutocratic elite who govern America.

Before closing, we return to our initial statement about Kraemer being the tail wagging the dog. While we do not deny his influence, his rise to influence in the 1960s and beyond post-dates the presence of a vigorous Cold War ethic which started in the immediate aftermath of World War 2. The likes of Bill Donovan, John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, James Angleton, Curtis LeMay, Barry Goldwater, and many other luminaries of the Military Industrial Complex who advocated either militant containment or strategic rollback derived their opinions from World War 2 and, in some cases, their sense of aristocratic privilege in a neo-colonial plutocratic imperium. We believe that the Neocons continued this tradition, albeit with the imprimatur of Kraemer.

Who Killed Nelson Rockefeller?

Easily the most popular posting as measured  by page views which we have published is The Strange Death of Nelson Rockefeller. We are uncertain why it is so popular but we offer a few follow-up observations about it including our thesis on why he died - or more bluntly, why he was murdered.

Rockefeller is not the only or most interesting character to die under suspicious circumstances. John Kennedy’s death, to us at least, is far more interesting and of vastly greater import than that of Rockefeller. In some ways his death at a ripe old age is an historical footnote which occurred over 30 years ago. So its enduring fascination is quite perplexing, especially for a public which swallows hook line and sinker any story shoveled down its throats by the state controlled media. In this case that story is that he died of heart failure.

Yes, Rockefeller’s death has a few unknowns, but so do Robert Kennedy’s and Martin Luther King. Even Natalie Wood’s death has as much murkiness to it. And yet America is flocking to articles about his death rather than to these others. As others have observed, there is no accounting for taste.

We left some of our opinions to ourselves in the cited posting since our focus was on the facts and timelines which were fed to the press in dribbles and confusion in the immediate aftermath of Rockefeller's death. However, after considering his power, prominence, and wealth, we flatly deny natural causes as the source of his death. We believe that he had angered someone or posed a threat to their interests.

It would take a sophisticated hit team to knock off the scion of one of America’s wealthiest industrialists, especially since Rockefeller had excellent security.

As we noted, his family immediately cremated his body and refused an autopsy. This raises more red flags than a communist May Day parade. We also noted the shadowy figure of Megan Marshack who has entirely disappeared from public view. And for anyone to accept heart failure as the cause of death means that he would have to reject the findings of his competent doctor who had pronounced him fit as a fiddle only several days before his demise.

Our opinion is that Rockefeller was assassinated. But if so, by whom? We believe that his associate or mistress - the elusive Ms Marshack - fits a pattern of other intelligence operations using female agents. As we noted in our original posting, such instances include Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky, and Chandra Levitt. These women were all intelligence agents working either for the CIA, Mossad, or one of the myriad intelligence organizations operating under the umbrella of the United States government.

Lewinsky and Tripp were working to impeach Clinton. Perhaps Clinton was not aggressive enough in foreign policy for the Neocons. His half hearted missile lob at Afghanistan was a clear middle finger to the warlords – in other words Clinton was not going to war over the Taliban issue at the time. So the troglodytes attempted to remove him. But we digress.

So given the fact that women can make excellent agents, especially for men who have shown a readiness to fall for their wiles, we suspect that Marshack was also an intelligence agent assigned to eliminate Rockefeller. More than likely, we believe that she was a Mossad agent.

Our suspicion is that Rockefeller was finally assassinated in connection with his support of Nazis all throughout World War 2, and his family’s anti-Jewish sympathies in spite of Nelson's hypocritical public support for Israel. We believe that his support for them came under Israeli blackmail.

The Rockefellers not only provided oil to Hitler via South America and Spain, but their company, Standard Oil of New Jersey (Exxon), also opened Auschwitz. It probably took the Jews some time to piece together the details, especially with Nazis in the State Department and elsewhere obscuring important facts. But once they got the story, it set in motion a very complex operation to pay back the deeds of Auschwitz.

At last, they acquired the facts and capabilities to exact revenge using a clever decoy. This explanation accounts for the circus around his death at his townhouse, Marshack's fearful hideout after the death, why a healthy man suddenly died, the media and PR circus, as well as the rush to cremate Nelson and his sordid past just as quickly as possible. And - poof - Nelson Rockefeller was no more. (Thank God!).

The Strange Death Of Nelson Rockefeller

Why is it that the deaths of so many post war, mostly white males, leaders are best described by Churchill’s metaphor about riddles, enigmas and conundrums? The passings of Kennedy, King,  and Foster are but a few of the marquee names whose deaths are shrouded in suspicion. To that list we can add Nelson Rockefeller, the 4 time governor of New York, whose expiration eventually turned into a tabloid circus. We will review a few of the theories which hold the most promise in explaining the death of Mr. Rockefeller.

The People

We should introduce some of the key characters of the drama, the first of whom is the former governor and Vice President born July 8, 1908, and reported dead January 26, 1979. He of course was the son of billionaire John D Rockefeller, Jr reputed a billionaire in his own right. His family still owned Rockefeller Center at the time of his death.

The next most prominent character is Megan Marshack, a native of Sherman Oaks, CA, whose name is sometimes spelled Marshak or Marshach, but which we suspect are errors due to lack of access to source biographical documents. Her birth date is given variously as c. 1952 or October 1953, while contemporary news accounts reported her age as anywhere from 25 – 31. She was described by People, in February, 1979, as a former AP radio night editor who was making about 15,000 USD when Rockefeller offered her a position as his assistant for 60,000 USD per year in 1977. The jump in income is quite startling and would be 4-5 times that number in constant 2009 dollars. Marshack received forgiveness of a 45,000 USD interest free loan Rockefeller had made to her for purchase of a co-op two doors from his townhouse.

Her whereabouts since the death of Rockefeller remain enigmatic. The New York Times reported on November 13, 1979 that she accepted a position as a publicity agent for Broadway producer Anthony Cohen. Subsequently she was reported as a writer or producer for WCBS-TV in New York. There are a few articles from 2003-2004 with a byline of the name Megan Marshack in the North County Times, but we failed to obtain confirmation from the publisher that the writer was indeed the same person of our story. Her Wiki article cites Personality Parade of December 28, 2008 claiming that “Marshack married a journalist and was living in Southern California.” That citation is bogus although other ones seem accurate.

The next person of interest is Ponchitta Pierce who, like her friend and neighbor Megan, was not exactly a household name nationally but was more well known in New York city as a TV hostess, as People magazine put it. She was reported as being 36 at the time. Her SourceWatch.org biography adumbrates an extensive career in telecast and print journalism as hostess, writer, and contributing editor. She also serves on numerous non-profit organization boards as well as on the Council On Foreign Relations.

In an article published in The Straits Times, Singapore on October 19, 2004 she is quoted:

"Greater coverage of news beyond our borders would help to balance the focus on ourselves, enable us to understand and appreciate the lives and cultures of other people, and make us more informed partners in an increasingly globalised world.”

This is semantically verbatim to the views of David Rockefeller given in an interview by Benjamin Fulford on December 2, 2007. We can see that Pierce may be a noteworthy cog in the Illuminist / CIA controlled press whose job it is to shape world opinion in favor of what they perceive as unified and inevitable world government. Fulford is also an admitted Illuminist which explains his ability to interview such an elusive character as David Rockefeller.

One other actor in this saga worth mentioning is Hugh Morrow who, as spokesman for the Rockefeller family, created considerable confusion with his varied stories about the timing and location of Nelson Rockefeller’s death. Morrow had been a longtime public relations advisor and aide to Rockefeller beginning in 1959 who also was the recipient of at least two loan forgivenesses and gifts from Rockefeller, including a 100,000 USD gift and 30,000 USD loan.

The Drama

News accounts vary because the story kept changing as the days following Rockefeller’s death passed. Keep this in mind as you research yourselves the timeline preceding and following his death. We present what we believe is the best redaction of events.

The above timeline is not without problems or controversy. Perhaps the most controversial element is the time of death for which I have quoted the dubious Dr. Peter David Beter whose audio newsletter 43 provides the timing. Beter alleges that Marschack, Henry Kissinger, and David Rockefeller were all murdered within a few days of Rockefeller’s alleged murder. However, Beter does make use of known news reports for other details and provides a time of death which makes more sense of the highly conflicted reports provided by official spokesmen.

Causes of Death

The official story regarding the sequence of events changed at least 3 times with the location, time of death, and people present at the time of death subject to continuous revision. The Rockefeller story imploded under the weight of the facts so much so that the family eventually issued a statement declaring that they would say no more about the death.

The official cause of death was a heart attack yet no autopsy was performed. Some have simply speculated on the cause without evidence.

Silence breeds speculation and speculation has indeed run rampant. There are three primary interpretations of Rockefeller’s death. The quasi official story is that Marshack was Rockefeller’s mistress and by implication – though never explicitly stated - was engaged in sexual intercourse when he was struck with a heart attack. One version claims that Marshack struggled for an hour to get from underneath Rockefeller, implying that they were on the floor doing it. Somehow I don’t think that Rockefeller was that athletic at 70 despite his personal physician Dr. Kenneth Ryland's claim that he was in excellent health.

Another variant also claims sexual antics but this time homosexual bondage. The theory holds that he died of a heart attack during this activity and that the family proceeded with haste to dispose of the evidence and story. However, they could have easily squelched or explained away the bruises offering that he had a heart attack - as you do - when you get to a certain age.

The other major explanation put forth by Beter is that Rockefeller was murdered. His proof is slender although some would say non-existent. Beter contends that Rockefeller was shot in the forehead after which a doctor was called to cover up the wound with Calamine Lotion. After the place was cleaned up, the paramedics and police were called. The story has some commendations but there is the opposing claim that Rockefeller had just died when the paramedics arrived. They in fact administered life support yielding a faint sign of life according to the New York Daily News. Yet in the end he was doomed.

Riddles and Conundrums

This story is full of  riddles and conundrums which may never receive satisfactory answer. We will start at the top and work our way down in order to untangle them. Marshack is a completely elusive character. Not only has no one caused her to talk to date but no one knows when she was born nor has anyone shown a picture of her since 1979, which picture was probably taken a few years earlier. For someone so critical to the story one would think that the vaunted investigative skills of the New York Times would have been able to uncover those bits of detail. And yet it is as though no one cares.

After the death of Rockefeller she remained holed up in her apartment for days – though not the weeks others reported.

Ponchitta Pierce is a strange bird flying in and around the activity. We understand that she knew Rockefeller 10 years, yet after she placed the call to 911 she left the house to return home. Why would a friend who was a news woman leave such an historic scene? Ms Pierce has remained silent on this story although she has been quite visible as a journalist and philanthropist.

Hugh Morrow, acting like The Three Stooges all by himself, must have suffered vertigo after wearing out three fabled stories in less than as many days. His actions have all of the traits of someone afraid of the truth and desperately wanting to cover up something. Many have thought that there was some embarrassment regarding Rockefeller being found with his mistress which he was attempting to side skirt; and while we agree that it is awkward, Rockefeller would not be the first man so compromised. We need only recall Franklin Roosevelt and his mistress in the much circumspect days of the 1940s.

But the accelerated cremation of Rockefeller’s body puts a lie to that explanation. The family could have maintained with a straight face that Marshack was working on a book with Rockefeller that evening, had a heart attack, died, and went to his reward. Instead there was a cacophonous circus of stories which didn’t add up, leaving the distinct impression that something jarring had shattered the otherwise stoic demeanor of the Rockefellers. Remember, it was Morrow’s job to be a public relations and communications expert. Yet he fell all over himself in a pot pourri of lies and contradictions.

It is also interesting that, as a relative newcomer to Rockefeller’s life, Marshack found herself in his will – especially for a somewhat trivial amount of 45,000 USD. Why would he have taken the time to update his will with that detail? Marshack had started working for him privately in 1977 yet two years later was a beneficiary in his will.

It also seems strange that Rockefeller’s 18 year old grandson Steven was often quoted in the press at telling moments. Out of the quite fecund Rockefeller family, one would have thought that a more mature and knowledgeable source could be found. One surreal quote was, "I don't know what Megan's role was exactly but if she was involved with Grandaddy, I hope she did the best she could and that she was instrumental in some of his success." The implication would be that she may not have been his mistress – a conclusion which most had certainly drawn by then. He surely knew that she was his grandfather’s aide yet that did not provide any meaningful understanding of the events.

Was It Murder?

To conclude with murder we would like to have a motive and theory of operations. One could argue that Morrow and Marshack stood as benefactors of Rockefeller’s death.  They were the only two with him at the time of death – at least as far as we are able to discern. Friends described her as a gold digger; yet that is not nearly the same as a murderer. As circumstantial as the evidence, we have to believe that he would be worth more to them alive than dead.

But if they were involved in murder, I would think that they would have coordinated their stories better. Instead Morrow is completely undone by a series of second rate stories suggesting that he was rattled by an unexpected event.

Could a professional assassin have murdered Rockefeller? If so, we would need to ask who would have benefitted materially from Rockefeller’s death. Whom did he piss off so badly? For that I have no answers although Dr Beter stated that Henry Kissinger was behind the plot. Kissinger certainly has the personality for murder, and is indeed guilty of political assassination, and, I believe, involved in Kennedy’s murder. However, without a motive we need to pause in our thoughts.

To assume murder means that the paramedics did not notice a bullet hole in his forehead as Beter avers was doctored. Maybe they truly did not attempt resuscitation. The public record seems to indicate that they attempted revival, but if they did not it would not be the first time the newsfakers of the press have lied to us.

For all of its defects I for one believe that murder makes the most sense of the incoherent stories, the refusal of an autopsy, and rush to cremate. I also believe that Pierce’s involvement had more import than we currently know. There is no evidence that Marshack is alive - a condition which is quite consistent with Beter's claim that she herself was murdered in February 1979. The similarities between Monica Lewinsky, Chandra Levitt, and Linda Tripp suggest strongly an intelligence operation.

Finding out who wanted him dead would be a ripe area for further investigation.
