Remember from an earlier post.
A fantastic book, one of the very finest accounts of wartime spookery” (The Wall Street Journal)—a spellbinding adventure story of four secret OSS agents who would all later lead the CIA and their daring espionage and sabotage in wartime Europe from the author of the bestselling Wild Bill Donavan.
They are the most famous and controversial directors the CIA has ever had—Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, William Colby, and William Casey. Before each of these four men became their country’s top spymaster, they fought in World War II as secret warriors for Wild Bill Donovan’s Office of Strategic Services.
Allen Dulles ran the OSS’s most successful spy operation against the Axis.The Axis powers (Germany, Italy, Japan) were opposed by the Allied Powers (led by Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union). Five other nations joined the Axis during World War II: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Croatia. The decline and fall of the Axis alliance began in 1943.
Bill Casey organized dangerous missions to penetrate Nazi Germany. Bill Colby led OSS commando raids behind the lines in occupied France and Norway. Richard Helms mounted risky intelligence programs against the Russians in the ruins of Berlin. Later, they were the most controversial directors the CIA has ever had. Dulles launched the calamitous operation at Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Helms was convicted of lying to Congress over the CIA’s role in the ousting of President Salvador Allende in Chile. Colby would become a pariah for releasing a report on CIA misdeeds during the 1950s, sixties and early seventies. Casey would nearly bring down the CIA—and Ronald Reagan’s presidency—from a scheme that secretly supplied Nicaragua’s contras with money raked off from the sale of arms to Iran for American hostages in Beirut.
On Easter Tuesday, 15 April 1941, 180 Luftwaffe bombers attacked Belfast. De Valera responded immediately to a request for assistance from Basil Brooke, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. Within two hours, 13 fire tenders from Dublin, Drogheda, Dundalk and Dún Laoghaire were on their way to assist their Belfast colleagues. De Valera followed up with his “they are our people” speech and formally protested to Berlin. Joseph Goebbels instructed German radio not to repeat their report of the raid, as Adolf Hitler was surprised at the Irish reaction, which might influence Irish Americans to bring the United States into the war. Although there was a later raid on 4 May, it was confined to the docks and shipyards (see Belfast blitz).
Ireland wanted to maintain a public stance of neutrality and refused to close the German and Japanese embassies. Unlike many other non-combatant states, Ireland did not declare war on the near-defeated Germany, and therefore did not seize any German assets. Other neutral countries like Sweden and Switzerland expelled German embassy staff at the end of the war, as they no longer represented a state, but the German legation in Dublin was allowed to remain open.
Irish neutrality during the war was threatened from within by the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which sought to provoke a confrontation between Britain and Ireland. This plan collapsed, however, when IRA chief of staff Seán Russell died in a U-boat off the Irish coast as part of Operation Dove; the Germans also later came to realise they had overestimated the capabilities of the IRA – Wikipedia
Recall also from earlier since WWI Dulles and Donovan were closely tied to British banks and the British monary, Rockefellers, Rotshcilds, etc., and United Fruit Company and it world suberion even OWNING it John Foter Dulles (it is said at time or reprenting it as well.)
The United Fruit Company was frequently accused of bribing government officials in exchange for preferential treatment, exploiting its workers, paying little by way of taxes to the governments of the countries where it operated, and working ruthlessly to consolidate monopolies. Latin American journalists sometimes referred to the company as el pulpo (“the octopus”),[17] and leftist parties in Central and South America encouraged the company’s workers to strike. Criticism of the United Fruit Company became a staple of the discourse of the communist parties in several Latin American countries, where its activities were often interpreted as illustrating Vladimir Lenin‘s theory of capitalist imperialism. Major left-wing writers in Latin America, such as Carlos Luis Fallas of Costa Rica, Ramón Amaya Amador of Honduras, Miguel Ángel Asturias and Augusto Monterroso of Guatemala, Gabriel García Márquez of Colombia, Carmen Lyra of Costa Rica, and Pablo Neruda of Chile, denounced the company in their literature.
The Fruit Company, Inc. reserved for itself the most succulent piece, the central coast of my own land, the delicate waist of America. It rechristened its territories ‘Banana Republics’, and over the sleeping dead, over the restless heroes who brought about the greatness, the liberty, and the flags, it established the comic opera: it abolished free will, gave out imperial crowns, encouraged envy, attracted the dictatorship of flies … flies sticky with submissive blood and marmalade, drunken flies that buzz over the tombs of the people, circus flies, wise flies expert at tyranny.
— Pablo Neruda, “La United Fruit Co.” (1950)
The business practices of United Fruit were also frequently criticized by journalists, politicians, and artists in the United States. Little Steven released a song in 1987 called “Bitter Fruit”, with lyrics that referred to a hard life for a company “far away,” and whose accompanying video depicted orange groves worked by peasants overseen by wealthy managers. The lyrics and scenery are generic, but United Fruit (or its successor Chiquita) was reputedly the target.[18]
The integrity of John Foster Dulles‘ “anti-Communist” motives has been disputed, since Dulles and his law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell negotiated the land giveaways to the United Fruit Company in Guatemala and Honduras. John Foster Dulles’ brother, Allen Dulles, who was head of the CIA under Eisenhower, also did legal work for United Fruit. The Dulles brothers and Sullivan & Cromwell were on the United Fruit payroll for thirty-eight years.[19][20] Recent research has uncovered the names of multiple other government officials who received benefits from United Fruit:
John Foster Dulles, who represented United Fruit while he was a law partner at Sullivan & Cromwell – he negotiated that crucial United Fruit deal with Guatemalan officials in the 1930s – was Secretary of State under Eisenhower; his brother Allen, who did legal work for the company and sat on its board of directors, was head of the CIA under Eisenhower; Henry Cabot Lodge, who was America’s ambassador to the UN, was a large owner of United Fruit stock; Ed Whitman, the United Fruit PR man, was married to Ann Whitman, Dwight Eisenhower’s personal secretary. You could not see these connections until you could – and then you could not stop seeing them.[19][21]
History in Latin America[edit]
The United Fruit Company (UFCO) owned huge tracts of land in the Caribbean lowlands. It also dominated regional transportation networks through its International Railways of Central America and its Great White Fleet of steamships.
In addition, UFCO branched out in 1913 by creating the Tropical Radio and Telegraph Company. UFCO’s policies of acquiring tax breaks and other benefits from host governments led to it building enclave economies in the regions, in which a company’s investment is largely self-contained for its employees and overseas investors and the benefits of the export earnings are not shared with the host country.[22]
One of the company’s primary tactics for maintaining market dominance was to control the distribution of arable land.
UFCO claimed that hurricanes, blight and other natural threats required them to hold extra land or reserve land.
In practice, what this meant was that UFCO was able to prevent the government from distributing land to peasants who wanted a share of the banana trade.
The fact that the UFCO relied so heavily on manipulating land use rights to maintain their market dominance had a number of long-term consequences for the region.
For the company to maintain its unequal land holdings it often required government concessions. And this in turn meant that the company had to be politically involved in the region even though it was an American company.
In fact, the heavy-handed involvement of the company in often-corrupt governments created the term “banana republic“, which represents a servile dictatorship.[23] The term “Banana Republic” was coined by American writer O. Henry.[24] [from importing bannas by steamship into New Orleans from Bannana Republic, also Avell Harimen Goerge Bush ties.
This was the London Legacy of Donovan and Dulles in London.
Come the Armistice, Donovan oscillated between his Wall Street law firm and public service. He was the U.S. attorney for the Western District of New York, assistant to AG Harlan Fiske Stone and a 1932 New York gubernatorial candidate. But his attention was increasingly focused on the new war in Europe. As it was, FDR was determined to help the British, but he wanted inside information about their ability to fight. Happily, the British foreign intelligence service, MI6, was eager to supply it. And so, in a series of discreet fact-finding missions, FDR dispatched Donovan to various war theaters to evaluate Axis and British capabilities and convey his impressions.
A certain Royal Navy officer, future James Bond creator Ian Fleming, helped plant a particular idea in Donovan’s head: Why not create some kind of integrated U.S. intelligence apparatus? Donovan agreed: “Modern war operates on more fronts than battle fronts.” He prevailed upon FDR, who on June 18, 1941, authorized an Office of Coordinator of Information, with Donovan as director.
Donovan turned the COI (it became the OSS in 1942) into a formidable enterprise. By 1943, its budget stood at $35 million; by the end of 1944, it employed 16,000 people.

He met Ruth Rumsey, and abruptly dropped Blanche Lopez, never contacting her again.
Ruth Rumsey was heiress of one of the richest families in America. Her father, Dexter Rumsey, and her uncle
Bronson owned 22 of Bufflao’s 43 square miles. In 1890, Dexter Rumsey was worth $10 million. His wife was
a member of the wealthy Hazard family of Rhode Island, who had owned one thousand slaves, and were the
largest slave owners in America. The Rumseys were Masters of the Genesee Valley Hunt, the most exclusive
7/24/2020 New Page 1
http://www.whale.to/b/mullins44.html 2/24
hunt club in the U.S. Dexter Rumsey died in 1906, leaving his son and daughter 12½% each of his fortune in
trust.
Bill Donovan’s courtship of Ruth Rumsey was complicated by the reappearance in Buffalo of Eleanor Robson,
now Mrs. August Belmont. She turned up at the Studio Club, an acting group run by Katharine Cornell’s father,
where Donovan had the juvenile lead. La Robson requested that Donovan come to her suite in New York each
weekend for “drama lessons”. Donovan then took the long train ride to New York City each weekend, causing
considerable gossip in Buffalo, where he was already widely known for his philandering. Nevertheless, Ruth
Rumsey had determined to marry him, probably because her family was so strongly opposed. Friends of the
family stated that had Dexter Rumsey lived, he would never have allowed this marriage to take place, because of
Donovan’s age; he was 31; his religion, Irish Catholic; and his philandering. The Rumseys were Episcopalian,
but Donovan persuaded his wife to bring up their children as Roman Catholics. His brother was a priest. After
the marriage, Donovan and his wife moved into the Rumsey family mansion at 742 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo.
Because of his New York connections, the Rockefeller Foundation selected Donovan to go to Europe on a “War
Relief Mission” in 1915, the first of many assignments from the World Order. He was to be separated from Ruth
Donovan continually during the next three years. While in London, he worked with Ambassador Walter Nelson
Page, William Stephenson, who later “advised” him on setting up the OSS, and Herbert Hoover. Donovan spent
five weeks in Belgium as an observer with Hoover’s Belgian Relief Commission.
When the U.S. entered World War I, Donovan helped organize the “Rainbow” Division, and was given
command of the “Fighting 69th”. He fought at Landes et Landes St. George, in the Meuse-Argonne sector,
where, although wounded, he charged a German machine gun squad on Oct. 15, 1918 with his bayonet. For this
feat, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. His bravery was the subject of wide publicity in the
American press, and Current Biography later stated he was the most famous man in the A.E.F. He was with
Joyce Kilmer, the poet, when Kilmer was shot down. In 1919 and 1920, Donovan was sent on secret missions to
China and Siberia.
After the war, J.P. Morgan established the Foreign Commercial Corp. to float $2 billion in bonds in postwar
Europe. In February, 1920, he asked Donovan to make a secret tour of Europe to obtain intelligence relating to
these bonds. Cave Brown described this mission,
“Having helped to finance the war, Morgan wished to help finance the peace by expanding the
House of Morgan’s interests widely ….. These activities required the best intelligence from the best
sources in Europe. Donovan and the Rainbow Division intelligence officer, Grayson Mallet-Prevost
Murphy, had been retained by John Lord O’Brian’s firm to obtain that intelligence, working in
secrecy.”
Morgan reportedly paid Donovan $200,000 for this operation.
During his European reconnaissance, Donovan met Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden, and spent an evening with
him in his room at Pension Moritz. Donovan later claimed he had not known who Hitler was, but that he found
him a “fascinating talker”.
In 1922, Donovan was appointed U.S. District Attorney for New York. In 1924, Atty. Gen. Harlan F. Stone,
Donovan’s Columbia law professor, asked him to come to Washington as Asst. Atty. Gen. Donovan and his
wife bought a house in Georgetown (later the home of Katharine Meyer) at 1637 30th St. Donovan’s first
official act was to demand that Stone fire J. Edgar Hoover from the Bureau of Investigation. Instead, Stone, who
was Hoover’s patron as well as Donovan’s, appointed Hoover Director of the Bureau of Investigation Dec. 18,
1924.
Donovan also became involved in another political football, the prosecution of Senator Burton K. Wheeler.
Wheeler was defended by Senator Tom Walsh, one of the most powerful politicians in Washington, but
Donovan, against all advice to the contrary, insisted on proceeding with the prosecution. It was said that the
charges against Wheeler were “ludicrous”, and Stone asked Donovan to drop the case, but he stubbornly
7/24/2020 New Page 1
http://www.whale.to/b/mullins44.html 3/24
proceeded to indict Wheeler before a District of Columbia grand jury. When the case was tried in Great Falls,
the jury deliberated only ten minutes before bringing in a verdict of acquittal for Wheeler.
Such a boner would have destroyed the careers of most men in Washington, but Donovan was under the
protection of Herbert Hoover, his associate from World War I. Between 1924 and 1928, he was Hoover’s closest
associate. Hoover took him to the Bohemian Club, the sacrosanct West Coast powerhouse where he was the
directing figure. Hoover then persuaded President Coolidge to appoint Donovan to the Colorado River
Commission, a seven state authority which organized the proposals for the Hoover Dam (later renamed the
Boulder Dam by FDR, and still later, renamed the Hoover Dam by Act of Congress in 1947.)
During the 1920s, Republican politicians favored the nomination of Dawes for president. Although it seemed
that he was backing a sure loser, Donovan worked as Hoover’s top strategist for four years. When Hoover was
nominated on the first ballot at the Republican Convention (a tribute to the power of the Rothschilds), Donovan
wrote his acceptance speech. It was understood that Donovan was to be Hoover’s running mate. However,
Hoover immediately realized that because he was running against Al Smith, a Roman Catholic, he would lose
the massive anti-catholic vote if he picked Donovan, also a Roman Catholic, as his running mate. Hoover had
no intention of losing his trump card in the forthcoming election. He cast Donovan aside without a second
thought, and even refused to consider him for a cabinet post, such as Attorney General, probably the only time in
American politics that the architect of a successful Presidential campaign was denied a position on the team or in
the Cabinet.
The disheartened Donovan decided to forego political life. In 1929, he organized the law firm of Donovan,
Leisure, Newton and Irvine, with offices at 2 Wall St. He also took a 23 room suite at the Shoreham Hotel for
the firm’s Washington offices. During ensuing years, Donovan rarely saw his wife, although they were never
legally separated. Dunlop’s biography of Donovan notes that “He always had his pick of feminine admirers. To
many of the women he met, Donovan was irresistible.” Ruth Donovan stayed at their summer home on the
South Shore of Massachusetts, or at their New York apartment on Beekman Place.
Despite his disappointment with Hoover, Donovan continued to take an active role in national politics. He ran
Knox’s campaign for the Republican nomination in 1936, and his firm defended American Telephone and
Telegraph in an anti-trust suit by the government. Donovan won handily, which brought in a new influx of
business to his firm.
In 1937, Donovan renewed his association with the Rothschilds. The Viennese branch of the family had lost
extensive holdings in Bohemia when the Nazis moved into Czechoslovakia. Because Donovan had already
established a network of informants in the highest echelons of the Nazi government, including Admiral Canaris,
the Rothschilds asked him to salvage their interests. He went to Germany to argue their case, but despite his
important contacts, he was defeated by Hitler’s view of the Rothschilds as a symbol of what he hoped to achieve
in his battle against “the international bankers”. The Rothschilds were not overly concerned; they knew that
World War II was on its way, and that the outcome had been decided in advance.
Donovan won another important legal victory in 1937, when he and a staff of 57 lawyers defended 18 oil firms
against anti-trust charges. His clients were let off with nominal fines, and once again Donovan was considered
the winner.
His German contacts now invited him to observe the Nuremberg maneuvers, as a guest of the German General
Staff. He also accompanied them on a trip to observe the progress of the Spanish Civil War. Although he was
there as an invited guest of “the Fascists”, Donovan was soon to build the OSS around the hard core of the
Communist Lincoln Brigade. He met Kim Philby in Spain, who was writing about the Civil War as a “proNazi” journalist, a pose he carried off successfully despite his recent marriage to Litzi Friedmann, a fanatical
Communist and Zionist provocateur.
On April 10, 1940, Donovan’s daughter, Patricia wrecked her car near Fredericksburg, Va. and was killed. She
was his only daughter; there was also one son, David, who married Mary Grandin, Patricia’s roommate at
boarding school, and heiress of a wealthy Philadelphia family. Associates said that Donovan never got over his
7/24/2020 New Page 1
http://www.whale.to/b/mullins44.html 4/24
daughter’s death. Because he had received the Congressional Medal of Honor, Patricia was buried in Arlington
National Cemetery. His grief-stricken wife left for a round the world cruise on Irving Johnson’s ship, Yankee.
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS)
On May 29, 1940, William Stephenson arrived in New York with a letter to Donovan from Admiral Blinker
Hall, a British Naval Intelligence officer whom Donovan had met in 1916. The letter proposed an American
intelligence agency, although we were not at war. Franklin D. Roosevelt sent Donovan to London with orders to
develop this program, as an “unofficial observer”. Despite efforts at secrecy, there was widespread journalistic
speculation about his mission for Roosevelt. He then made a tour of southeast Europe for the President, gauging
the status of the German occupied countries. Although this was an obvious espionage mission, the Germans
placed no obstacles in his path. They were anxious to maintain good relations with the United States.
After Donovan delivered his report to the President, he was named Coordinator of Information by the White
House. Because he had had no experience in propaganda work, the office was later split into the Office of War
Information, Executive Order 9128, and the Office of Strategic Services, Military Order of June 13, 1942.
Donovan was placed in charge of the OSS.
The “new” agency was from the outset merely an outpost of British Intelligence. On Sept. 18, 1941, Col. E.I.
Jacob, Churchill’s military secretary, was informed by Maj. Desmond Morton Church, Churchill’s liason with
the British secret service,
“Another most secret fact of which the Prime Minister is aware is that to all intents and purposes
U.S. Security is being run for them at the President’s request by the British. A British officer sits in
Washington with Mr. Edgar Hoover and General Bill Donovan for this purpose. It is of course
essential that this fact should not be known.”
For some months, Donovan had been living in a suite at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. He and William
Stephenson had been meeting regularly since 1940 to organize the new agency. Stephenson was working
directly under Col. Stewart Menzies, head of Special Operations Executive, the top British intelligence agency.
As cover, Menzies was Colonel in the Life Guards, the escort troop of the King. Stephenson was head of SIS,
(Special Intelligence Section). When Donovan had left for London July 15, 1940 on his mission for Roosevelt,
Stephenson had wired London, “Col. Wm. J. Donovan, personally representing the President, left yesterday by
clipper. U.S. Embassy not, repeat, not being informed.”
This was a replay of the House-Wilson-Wiseman operation during World War I. Not only were the American
people left in the dark, but concerned agencies were never told what the conspirators had planned. Donovan’s
London mission was a slap in the face to the U.S. Ambassador, Joseph Kennedy. Roosevelt called Donovan
“my secret legs”, and he assured Stephenson in a private interview, “I’m your biggest undercover agent.”
In “A Man Called Intrepid”, Stephenson is quoted as saying that after April, 1939, “The President was one of
us.” It was also in 1939 that Roosevelt privately told Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada and a longtime
Rockefeller agent, “Our frontier is on the Rhine.” This same book quotes Churchill as saying, on the eve of war,
“We need Rockefeller and Rothschild.” Stephenson replied, “I can find the Rockefellers and they’ll support us.
We can offer our secret intelligence in return for help.”
Indeed, the Rockefellers gave Stephenson an entire floor rent free at Rockefeller Center, where the agency has
operated ever since. A later book, “Intrepid’s Last Case” notes that
“What some would later call the secret SIS Secret Occupation of Manhattan began in 1990. By
1941, J. Edgar Hoover was complaining that the Rockefeller Center headquarters of British Security
Coordination controlled an army of British secret agents, a group of nine distinct secret agencies.
Attorney General Biddle was quoted as saying ‘The truth is nobody knows anything about what
Stephenson does’.”
7/24/2020 New Page 1
http://www.whale.to/b/mullins44.html 5/24
Had “anyone” known, Stephenson would have had to be arrested and deported. German sailors were being
deliberately murdered by Stephenson’s provocateurs in New York as acts designed to force Hitler to declare war
against the United States. The INTREPID file in SOE (Stephenson’s cover name) described it as “a reign of terror
conducted by specially trained agents and fortified by espionage and intelligence in Occupied Europe.” Every
act of Donovan and Stephenson was a violation of American neutrality.
Donovan’s law office at 2 Wall Street was next to the Passport Control Office. He had special passports
prepared for Stephenson’s British agents. Stephenson had offices at three locations, Hampshire House, Dorset
Hotel, and Rockefeller Center. Allen Dulles had opened a branch office of Coordinator of Information at
Rockefeller Center in 1940. He evicted all the tenants on the 25th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which was the
floor above the UK Commercial Corporation, whose president was William Stephenson. This agency was set up
after Stephenson complained on April 14, 1941 that Standard Oil was supplying the Germans through Spain, and
that it was acting as a hostile and dangerous agency of the enemy. A 400 page report by Stephenson listing
Standard Oil and other American corporations dealings with the Germans was turned over to the FBI in 1941. J.
Edgar Hoover prudently buried it.
Nelson Rockefeller, as Coordinator of Inter American Affairs, covered up the supplying of German military
forces from his South American subsidiaries. Listed in the Stephenson Report were Standard Oil, I.G. Farben, a
subsidiary of Standard Oil; Ford Motor Co.; Bayer Aspirin (Sterling Drug); General Aniline and Film; Ansco;
and International Telephone and Telegraph. Co. Sosthenes Behn, head of ITT, had hosted a lavish conference of
German intelligence operatives at the Waldorf Astoria in 1940. The German director of ITT was Baron Kurt
von Schroder, of the Schroder banking family of Cologne, London and New York, who was Hitler’s personal
banker.
The OSS was actually set up by four members of the British Chief of Staff:
Lord Louis Mountbatten (formerly Battenberg), a cousin of the King, and related to the Frankfort banking
families, Rothschild and Cassel;
Charles Hambro, director of Special Operations Executive, and director of Hambros Bank;
Col. Stewart Menzies, head of Secret Intelligence Service; and
William Stephenson, in charge of SIS American operations.
An ancestor of Col. Menzies had been a notorious Jacobite double agent during the last days of James II’s reign.
The present Menzies was the son of Lady Holford; he married Lady Sackville, daughter of the 8th Earl de la
Warre, of the Sackville-West family which owned historic Knole; second, he married Pamela Beckett, daughter
of J.Rupert Beckett, chmn of Westminster Bank, now National Westminster Bank, one of England’s Big Five.
Menzies’ mother-in-law was the daughter of Lord Berkeley Paget, Marquess of Anglesey. Menzies’ daughter
married Lord Edward Hay, Marquess of Tweedsdale, Earl of Kinoull, related to Countess of Errol. The present
Sir Peter Menzies is a director of National Westminster Bank, treasurer of the giant Imperial Chemical
Industries, and director of Commercial Union Assurance Co. In the British Who’s Who, 1950, Col. Menzies
noted that he had been appointed “C”, head of MI6 from 1939-51, but in later editions, he omitted this
information.
Ford states in his “Acknowledgements”,
“Lord Mountbatten of Burma was a close personal friend of Donovan as one of the four members of
the British Chief of Staff Committee which helped Donovan in the formation and operation of
Office of Strategic Services.”
The “American” secret service was never anything but a British operation, directed at all levels by
representatives of the British Crown. OSS agents received advanced training for the European theater at
Bletchley Park, British espionage headquarters. This site was chosen because it was only ten miles from
Woburn Abbey, where Lord Beaverbrook’s agent, Sefton Delmer, operated the British “dirty tricks” center and
other propaganda activities. Woburn Abbey was the ancestral home of the Duke of Bedford, Marquess of
Tavistock. The British Bureau of Psychological, Warfare operated as the Tavistock Institute.

John Haskell, OSS 1943-44, formerly with Natl City Co.1925-31.
Another son of J.P. Morgan, Junius, was placed in charge of OSS finances. Paul Mellon and his brother-in-law,
David Bruce joined OSS – Bruce was in charge of the London office, later was Ambassador to France. OSS
also had operatives from the Vanderbilt, Archbold, DuPont and Ryan families, giving rise to the quip that OSS
meant “Oh So Social”. James Paul Warburg, son of Paul (who had written the Federal Reserve Act), was
Donovan’s personal assistant in setting up OSS. William J. Casey, present head of CIA, was chief of secret
intelligence OSS Europe.
In Feb. 1981, OSS veterans held a gala reunion in New York. Present were Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister
of England; Julia Child; Beverly Woodner, Hollywood designer; John Shaheen, who had been chief of OSS
Special Projects now a wealthy oil man; Ernest Cuneo, who had been liaison between OSS and FDR; Arthur
Goldberg, labor lawyer and Zionist leader, later Supreme Court Justice and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.; Bill
Colby, later chief of CIA; and Temple Fielding, the travel authority who began his travel expertise with OSS.
One of OSS’ most famous agents who didn’t show up, was Ho Chi Minh.
OSS agents became prominent members of “the new class” in Washington; Archibald MacLeish became
Librarian of Congress; Ralph Bunche became U.S. Representative to the U.N.; S. Dillon Ripley became head
of the Smithsonian.
The Lincoln Brigade and the Spanish Civil War
Donovan had been chosen to head the OSS because of two decades in which he carried out secret missions for
the Morgans, the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. When he staffed the agency with known Communists, they
offered no objection. He had earlier provided unpaid legal help for members of the Communist mercenary
force, the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Now he welcomed these veteran “anti-Fascists” into OSS. Ford writes,
“In the OSS employment of pro-communists was approved at very high levels. OSS often welcomed the
services of Marxist enthusiasts.”
When J. Edgar Hoover, eager to embarrass a rival, sent agents to Donovan with FBI dossiers on Communist
OSS employees, Donovan replied, “I know they’re Communists–that’s why I hired them.” Donovan loaded
OSS with such fanatical Communists that they became a joke in Washington. He appointed Dr. Maurice
Halperin Chief Latin American Div. OSS. Halperin regularly altered the information which came across his
desk to fit the current party line. He often kept his office locked, causing other OSS employees to joke that
“Halperin must be having another cell meeting.” After the war, J. Edgar Hoover testified before Congress about
Halperin’s Communist background. Halperin later moved to Moscow, then to Havana.

Despite the damning dossiers which J. Edgar Hoover maintained on leading Communists in the OSS, he could
find no politician willing to buck FDR’s three White House assistants, Hiss, Currie and White. Eleanor
Roosevelt had been one of the most frenetic activists on behalf of the Lincoln Brigade. Joe Lash gave her a
small bronze of a Communist soldier, which she kept on her desk for the rest of her life. Donovan even
appointed Irving Goff head of OSS in Italy after the Salerno landing. Goff had been commander of the Lincoln
Brigade, and was later chairman of the Communist Party in Louisiana and New York.
The Spanish Civil War had created an alliance between American “intellectuals” and the Communists. In
“Passionate Years”, Peter Wyden reports that Archivist Victor A. Berch, of Brandeis University, said 40% of the
Lincoln Brigade were Jewish. Oddly enough, the “Fascists”, the Falange, was led by two marranos, General
Franco and his financial backer, Juan March. March paid for Franco’s return to Spain with a $2 million credit at
Kleinwort’s of London. In July, 1936, March placed $82 million of securities in Nationalist accounts. He
deposited $1.5 billion in gold at the Bank of Italy, 121.5 metric tons greater than the gold reserve of most
nations.
The Communists stole the Spanish gold reserve and shipped it to Russia. NKVD General Alexander Orlov, on
orders from “Ivan Vasilyevitch”, a rare code name for Stalin, loaded Spain’s gold reserve on the Soviet ship
Komsomol Oct. 25, 1936; it arrived in Odessa Nov. 2, and was trucked to Moscow’s Precious Metals Deposit,
Gohkran, $788 million. $240 million had also been shipped to France from Spain.
The Lincoln volunteers surrendered their passports to NKVD officers when they arrived in Spain. These
passports were then routinely used in Communist espionage. The murderer of Trotsky was arrested in Mexico
with a Canadian passport issued to Tony Babich, who was killed in the Civil War. Gouzenko later exposed a
Communist agent in Los Angeles using the passport of Ignacy Witczak. Witnesses saw stacks of these Lincoln
passports stacked in the Lubianka prison, waiting to be used.
Ernest Hemingway wrote that “The Spanish Civil War was the happiest time of our lives.” He modelled his hero
in “For Whom the Bell Tolls” on Robert Merriman, a Moscow agent who was receiving a $900 a year
fellowship from the University of California. Hemingway wrote and produced a film, “The Spanish Earth” to
raise money for the Communists, aided by Archibald Macleish, Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellmann.
Hemingway put up $2750 for the film, and donated all his royalties. He toured Hollywood to raise funds for the
Communists, an effort reciprocated when they named his book “For Whom the Bell Tolls” a book-of-the-Month
Club selection and a multi-million dollar Hollywood production. This was how one achieved “artistic success”
in the 1940’s.
When Nixon in 1946 worked with Wild Bill Donovan and Rockefeller and others on the Secret Plan to Win the War (against the Republic of Ireland and againt Lati America and Cuba) it wa all british.
Nixon did NOT tell JFK about all the United Fruit Company activities but JFK likely found out about them from his meeting with the Pope in 1963 and others including those he fired.
THE FBI and CIA were mafia from the outset.
Colby, a Disciple of Donovan, wanted to out the Family Jewels Program of groomed eugenically bred sleepers. (from out of wedlock windsor also being studied for language difficulties.)
“Family Jewels” is the name of a set of reports detailing illegal, inappropriate and otherwise sensitive activities conducted by the United StatesCentral Intelligence Agency from 1959 to 1973.[1]William Colby, the CIA director who received the reports, dubbed them the “skeletons in the CIA’s closet”.[1] Most of the documents were released on June 25, 2007, after more than three decades of secrecy.[2][3] The non-governmental National Security Archive filed a request for the documents under the Freedom of Information Act 15 years before their release.[4][2]
Background[edit]
The reports that constitute the CIA’s “Family Jewels” were commissioned in 1973 by then CIA director James R. Schlesinger, in response to press accounts of CIA involvement in the Watergate scandal—in particular, support to the burglars, E. Howard Hunt and James McCord, both CIA veterans.[1] On May 7, 1973, Schlesinger signed a directive commanding senior officers to compile a report of current or past CIA actions that may have fallen outside the agency’s charter.[5] The resulting report, which was in the form of a 693-page loose-leaf book of memos, was passed on to William Colby when he succeeded Schlesinger as Director of Central Intelligence in late 1973.[6]
Colby family split over son’s spy tale
November 26, 2011 11:00 pm
By By IAN SHAPIRA The Washington Post
Sally Shelton-Colby needed to watch the documentary with friends, for emotional support. Seated in a Washington movie theater in October, she flipped open a notepad and, as the movie played, jotted down her thoughts. She filled out several pages.
The film concerned a dead man she’s still in love with. And the movie was made by someone she rarely ever speaks to. The film: “The Man Nobody Knew: In Search of My Father, CIA Spymaster William Colby.” Its director and narrator: his second-oldest son, Carl Colby.
Shelton-Colby, a former U.S. ambassador, was disturbed by her stepson’s take on her dead husband, and, as it turns out, so is the rest of the Washington-based Colby clan. They are especially upset with the film’s suggestion that the former spymaster spent his retirement in deep regret and killed himself on a canoeing trip in the mid-1990s.
For the Colby family, the movie is yet one more turbulent moment stemming from the career of their patriarch, whose CIA directorship in the 1970s is one of the agency’s most controversial. And even though Shelton-Colby, the spymaster’s second wife, has been kept at a distance by most of Colby’s biological children, their grievances with the film have united them, at least in principle.
“Let me be very blunt,” said Shelton-Colby, 67, a foreign policy professor at American University. “I think Carl portrayed his father in the way he did to sell his film. Carl didn’t know his father. … He was not the cold, insensitive, unfeeling person that Carl portrayed in that film.”
Carl Colby, whose documentary opened in September and is playing in theaters nationwide, declined to discuss his family’s reactions to his film. Although “The Man Nobody Knew” features an extensive interview with his biological mother, Barbara H. Colby, and more than 30 journalists, ex-CIA officials and other dignitaries, Carl did not ask his three siblings to be interviewed.
“I asked my mother, ‘What if (others in the family) all object?’ She said, ‘They can make their own movie,'” Carl said in an interview. “We all have our own relationships. The film is about the oldest question: Who are your father and mother? What do they mean to you?”
It’s been 15 years since Bill Colby vanished on a solo canoe trip near his vacation home in southern Maryland, only to be found dead days later, floating on the banks of the Wicomico River. The CIA’s 10th director was best known for revealing the “family jewels” – a compilation of the agency’s assassination attempts, drug testing on unwitting humans and eavesdropping on war protesters. The disclosures in 1975, historians believe, saved the CIA from destruction when members of Congress were eager for its death, but they made Colby a pariah to CIA officers who believed such transparency imperiled the agency’s mission and national security.
Naturally, the CIA director’s death on a canoe ride triggered murder conspiracy theories. But now, “The Man Nobody Knew” has set off a tense division between Carl, his stepmother and his otherwise low-key siblings: Jonathan Colby, 65, a managing director at the Carlyle Group, an investment firm; Paul Colby, 56, a government attorney; and Christine Colby Giraudo, 51, a public relations consultant.
Only when contacted by a Post reporter did family members vent their frustrations about the film. Their dad’s legacy, they said, is something still worth defending.
In “The Man Nobody Knew,” Carl, the narrator, traces his father’s career as an intelligence operative in World War II to his tenure as CIA director. Carl paints his father as a mysterious family man more occupied with the agency’s mission against communism and less concerned about his wife Barbara and their five kids.
In the film, Carl wonders whether his friends were right when they called his dad a “murderer” for running the notorious Phoenix Program – a CIA operation in the Vietnam War sought to ferret out Viet Cong agents in South Vietnam. Thousands of targets were killed, leading the media and much of America to call Phoenix an assassination program.
Even though the movie shows Bill testifying before Congress, saying that he issued an order against assassination, Paul, the youngest brother, said he still believes the film slams their father as a “mass assassin.” (In his memoir “Honorable Men,” Bill wrote that the vast majority of Phoenix deaths occurred “in combat actions” with Vietnamese and American military forces.)
Paul, who lives in Alexandria, Va., also hates how the movie splices images of their dad with violent archival footage – rows of Vietnamese corpses and a notorious clip of a Vietnamese prisoner being shot in the head. Earlier this year, when Paul was shown the film, he told Carl that it would be “unethical” to keep it as is. Paul said the Vietnamese prisoner’s killing was not part of Phoenix, that his dad wasn’t even in Vietnam at the time of the shooting and that the footage is a “total smear of my father.”
“Carl told me that if I didn’t like it, I should make my own film,” Paul said. “The pain and sadness of losing (my father) has now been intensified by my brother Carl’s inexplicable and unfounded attempt to debase the reputation and memory of a modest and decent man, a dedicated father, and an exemplary public servant.”
Carl kept the wrenching footage to bolster the film’s credibility, he said. “The worst thing I could have done was to sugarcoat my father and paint things as rosy.”
Ultimately, the movie reveals Carl’s ambivalence about his dad. On the one hand, Carl comes off as bitter that his father was so immersed in his work. He feels his father left his wife isolated and eschewed real father-son bonds. On the other, Carl admired his dad’s public service and seems most proud of his disclosures to Congress about the CIA’s past misdeeds.
“It’s a terrible thing to say, but sometimes I think I would have rather worked for him than be his son,” Carl said. “I would have been closer to him.”
The Colby family is bothered by the film’s suggestion that Bill killed himself because he felt guilty for not doing more to comfort his eldest daughter, Catherine Colby, before her death in 1973 from epilepsy and anorexia. Carl says in the movie that two weeks before the canoe trip his dad called him “seeking absolution for his not doing enough when Catherine was so ill.”
When Bill’s body was found, his wallet contained a photo of Catherine, Carl says.
“Foul play was suspected, but I knew otherwise,” Carl narrates in the movie. “The coroner’s report listed the cause of death as a drowning, brought on by a stroke or heart attack. Call it whatever you like. I think he’d had enough of this life.”
In an interview, Jonathan Colby, who lives in Chevy Chase, Md., said he does not understand why Carl implies that his dad committed suicide.
“My dad’s shoes were off when they found his body, usually a sign of a drowning victim fighting to live,” he said.
Carl elaborated on his theory more in the interview, asserting that if his dad suffered a stroke or heart attack while canoeing, “he may not have had the will to live. When you are distraught, you do unreasonable, illogical things.”
Christine Colby Giraudo of northwest Washington declined to be interviewed. In a short email to The Post, she said her recollections of her dad differ from Carl’s. Through her sons, Barbara, 90, who lives in a Washington retirement community, also declined to be interviewed.
Carl said he didn’t interview his siblings because he views the film as his memoir, not a biography. His brothers and sister had their own relationship with him, he said. “It would have muddled the story.”
Carl said he felt that the best person to explain his dad was his mother, who was extensively interviewed in the film. But she does not share her son’s degree of bitterness. She admits to feeling jealous of another CIA wife whose husband talked more about his job. She also came to realize, after her husband asked her for a divorce, that she didn’t know him as well as she thought.
In April 1996, Bill set off on a worldwide consulting trip. He stopped in Mongolia to advise a mining company. The day after he returned, he went to his southern Maryland home. Shelton-Colby was in Houston, visiting her ailing mother.
He drank some wine and ate some clams. Then he took the canoe out.
At Bill’s funeral the next month, Shelton-Colby, who wears on her left arm the watch she gave Bill as a wedding present, remembers one moment more than most.
“It was when Barbara came up to me,” Shelton-Colby remembered. “And all she said to me was, ‘We both loved him.'”

“The CIA and FBI are behind most, if not all terrorism.”
— Ted Gunderson, former FBI Chief
Theodore L. Gunderson (7 November 1928 – 31 July 2011) was a Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent In Charge and head of the Los Angeles FBI,[1] an American author, and a conspiracy discoverer. Some of his FBI case work included the Death of Marilyn Monroe and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.[2] He was the author of the best-selling book How to Locate Anyone Anywhere Without Leaving Home.[3] In later life, he promoted a number of conspiracy theories, notably including satanic ritual abuse.[4]
The Skimmington. Rough music… to shame you for failing to remarry.
The very essence of the practice was public humiliation of the victim under the eyes of their neighbors. Noisy, masked processions were held outside the home of the supposed wrongdoer, involving the cacophonous rattling of bones and cleavers, the ringing of bells, hooting, blowing bull’s horns, the banging of frying pans, saucepans, kettles, or other kitchen or barn implements with the intention of creating long-lasting embarrassment to the alleged perpetrator.
Equivalents include the German Haberfeldtreiben and Katzenmusik, Italian Scampanate and French Charivari[2]
SkimmingtonK is Skimmington not as revenge (though paraders may THINK SO) but Kompromat.
A SkimmingtonK is a public trap of a person in a situation where the person looks bad.
In my case it is made to appear I pursue as a fetish women in tight gym clothes or teens in loose gym shorts. I do not but people seeing me near those females cause people to presume I followed them, not vice versa.
This has allowed me to be pushed aside in life even though my parents created in me the opportunitity to succeed.
It has allowed smear merchants to predatorialy gain advantage over me.
