5. Mueller’s Mother Was the Granddaughter of Railroad Executive William H. Truesdale. https://heavy.com/news/2019/03/robert-mueller-family-children/
Truesdale was born on December 1, 1851 in Youngstown, Ohio.[1][2] He was the oldest of Calvin and Charlotte (Haynes) Truesdale’s four children. He was educated in Rock Island, Illinois.[2]
Career[edit]
Truesdale began his career as a clerk with the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railway in 1869.[1] In 1876, he was hired as passenger and freight agent for the Logansport division of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, with offices in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1881, Truesdale accepted a job as traffic manager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway and soon became vice president. In 1887, he was hired as the president of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway. Following a brief tenure in this role, Truesdale served as the first vice president and general manager of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, a position he kept through the last decade of the 19th century.[3]
Truesdale became president of the DL&W in March 1899,[1] replacing an ailing Samuel Sloan.[4] He immediately cemented his reputation as a relentless visionary by launching one of the most ambitious railroad modernization programs in American history. Until the dawn of the twentieth century, the DL&W — like most railroads dealing with adverse geography — generally followed the contours of the land when laying track. Steep climbs and long hours aboard a train remained commonplace.[5]
Truesdale’s efforts to rebuild his 900-mile system set the standard for U.S. rail construction. Heavier bridges and track were installed to permit heavier locomotives and cars to travel over them faster. Dozens of new stations were built. Many curves were straightened. Where conditions demanded, entire stretches of track were replaced by new alignments. One example was the Lackawanna Cut-off, a 28.45-mile (45.79 km) stretch of fast track with no grade crossings. Built to replace the DL&W’s “Old Road“, this enormous construction project involved huge amounts of cut and fill through the Pequest Valley of northwest New Jersey. It shortened the route by only 11 miles, but enabled trains to travel at speeds approaching 100 miles an hour. (The Cut-off was eventually decommissioned by Conrail and abandoned in 1983. The state of New Jersey later purchased the abandoned corridor and began reconstruction in 2011 to host New Jersey Transit commuter trains.) Under Truesdale’s leadership, the railroad also constructed the Nicholson Cutoff north of Scranton, including the Tunkhannock Viaduct, the largest concrete bridge and one of the largest concrete structures in the world. The Tunkhannock Viaduct is still in use.[5]
DL&W launched its Phoebe Snow marketing campaign, one of the best-known in American advertising, in 1902, shortly after Truesdale became president. The campaign built its name-branded character upon the reputation for clean operations cultivated by Truesdale.[5] Truesdale retired as DL&W president in 1925,[1] but remained chairman of the board until 1931.[2]
Personal life and death[edit]
Truesdale married Annie Topping on October 2, 1878.[2] She was the daughter of Lt. Col. Melville Douglas Topping, who was killed August 20, 1862, at the Battle of Richmond, Kentucky, while commanding the 71st Indiana Regiment.[citation needed] They had two sons, Calvin and Melville, and a daughter, who married Richard M. Bissell.[2] Truesdale resided in Greenwich, Connecticut, and he was predeceased by his wife.[1]
Truesdale “suffered from a breakdown” in 1931.[1] He died on June 2, 1935 in Greenwich, Connecticut, at 83.[6]
1944 (Aug) – Birth of first son (Robert Swan Mueller III)
Robert Swan Mueller III was born on August 7, 1944. The birth took place at Doctors Hospital in the New York City borough of Manhattan , most likely because father Robert Swan Mueller II was in NYC in the US Navy at the time.

Commentary on current job of Robert Swan Mueller II – “Mrs. Timchak’s father is senior purchasing agent with the E. L du Pont de Nemours & Co. In Wilmington“
Robert Swan Mueller II worked at DuPont for a 35 year career. The Princeton book say he did not stay retired long through, and shortly afterwards started Tugwell-Mueller Associates Inc.. We do not know his retirement date, but the Feb 1975 in the Princeton Alumni Review suggests it was late 1974 or early 1975.
(See full issue at [HE000S][GDrive]). TMA Inc. was started in Feb 1975, then Robert Swan Mueller II would have a few months before his 59th birthday.

Early history[edit]
The company was started by Charles W. Engelhard Sr. in 1902[1] when he purchased the Charles F. Croselmire Company in Newark, New Jersey. He subsequently founded the American Platinum Works in 1903 and acquired several other companies. In 1904, he purchased Baker & Co., a platinum smelting and refining business located in Newark and in 1905, he established Hanovia Chemical and Manufacturing Company also in Newark. Engelhard became the world’s largest refiner and fabricator of platinum, gold and silver, a producer of silver and silver alloys in mill forms, operator of the world’s largest precious metals smelter. They also developed liquid gold for decorative applications[citation needed].
Merger and spinoff of Phibro[edit]
In 1958, Engelhard’s son Charles Jr. consolidated the family’s holdings to form Engelhard Industries, Inc. as a publicly held company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In 1963, Engelhard, under the advisement of Lazard Frères, took a 20 percent interest in Minerals & Chemicals Philipp (MCP), a recently formed partnership between a small producer of nonmetallic minerals such as kaolin and fuller’s earth, and Philipp Brothers, a trading firm specializing in the buying and selling of ores on the international market. Engelhard executed the transaction through a stock swap, giving up 8 percent of Engelhard as partial payment for the 20 percent interest in MCP.
Sales in MCP took off soon afterwards, mostly from Philipp Brothers’ fast-growing ore trading. In 1964 it had sales of $US447 million, and by 1966 sales reached $US709 million. Even though Engelhard Industries did only about 40 percent of that figure, it was able, in September 1967, to work out a merger of the two companies that left the Engelhard family controlling about 40 percent of the new company. The new entity, which was called Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corporation (EMCC), was structured into three divisions: Minerals & Chemicals, which processed non-metallic minerals; Engelhard Industries, which refined and fabricated precious metals; and Philipp Brothers. Nearly one-half of the company’s 1967 net income of $28 million was generated by the Philipp trading division, with the Engelhard metal processing contributing 34 percent and minerals and chemicals about 19 percent.
Philipp’s trading continued to enjoy phenomenal growth as the world turned to spot traders to move scarce natural resources around the globe. By 1972, EMCC’s sales hit $US2 billion, about 80 percent of it supplied by Philipp, and in 1974 revenue reached $5 billion. By 1981, Philipp Brothers earned 89 percent of the total corporation’s $US26.6 billion in revenues and 88 percent of its $US532.7 million in profits. Management in the slow growing minerals-and-chemicals division, along with those in precious metals, felt overshadowed by their trading counterparts. This led to the spinoff of Philipp Brothers (later called Phibro), and renaming what was left the Engelhard Corporation.
Later history[edit]
Engelhard operated a Minerals & Chemicals Division and an Engelhard Industries Division with corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, New Jersey. In 1984, the company was realigned to consist of a Specialty Chemicals Division and a Specialty Metals Division. Engelhard expanded significantly through growth, acquisitions and joint ventures. Acquisitions included the Freeport Kaolin Company in 1985; most of the business of the Harshaw/Filtrol Partnership in 1988; the auto catalysts and petroleum catalysts businesses of Solvay Catalysts GmbH, in 1992 and 1994, respectively; the Mearl Corporation in 1996; the catalyst business of Mallinckrodt Inc. in 1998; Süd Chemie’s fats and oils catalyst business in 2001; and the Collaborative Group, a personal care company, in 2004.
On May 30, 2006, Engelhard was taken over by BASF after the board agreed for the takeover of BASF. BASF paid $US39 per share. The transaction totaled $5 billion.
On August 2, 2006, BASF began to rename Engelhard worldwide. This started in the USA with BASF Catalysts LLC.
On April 1, 2010, BASF Catalysts LLC became part of BASF Corporation.
1942 (March-May) – RSM2 now in the service, performing course work on the Prairie State
From the March 03 1942 issue of the Princeton alumni weekly (see page at [HE0011][GDrive] ) , we see that Robert Swan Mueller II was on the U.S.S. Prairie State. The source at [HT0027][GDrive] tells us that Robert Swan Mueller II’s first day of pay was December 16, 1941.
In 1802, Éleuthère Irénée du Pont established a gunpowder mill on the banks of the Brandywine River near Wilmington, Delaware. The location (named Eleutherian Mills) provided all the necessities to operate the mill: a water flow sufficient to power it, available timber (mainly willow trees) that could be turned into charcoal fine enough to use for gunpowder, and close proximity to the Delaware River to allow for shipments of sulfur and saltpeter, the other ingredients used in the manufacture of gunpowder. There were also nearby stone quarries to provide needed building materials.[8]
Over time, the Du Pont company grew into the largest black powder manufacturing firm in the world. The family remained in control of the company up through the 1960s,[9] and family trusts still own a substantial amount of the company’s stock. This and other companies run by the du Pont family employed up to 10 percent of Delaware’s population at its peak.[10] During the 19th century, the Du Pont family maintained their family wealth by carefully arranged marriages between cousins[11] which, at the time, was the norm for many families.
The family played a large part in politics during the 18th and 19th centuries and assisted in negotiations for the Treaty of Paris and the Louisiana Purchase. Both T. Coleman and Henry A. du Pont served as U.S. senators, and Pierre S. du Pont, IV served as Governor of Delaware.
The FBI, under Director Robert Mueller, now special counsel for Trump Russia collusion investigation, supplied the computers for The Hammer surveillance system that Brennan and Clapper used to= spy on Donald Trump, according to CIA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery. So why is Mueller leading the investigation?
By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones | July 13, 2017
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, currently Special Counsel in the Russia investigation, provided FBI computers to a secret CIA/NSA surveillance program that was launched in 2004. That program morphed into a domestic surveillance program that spied on Donald Trump and his associates.
This is according to former CIA/NSA/DIA subcontractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery and his attorney Larry Klayman.
According to Montgomery:
This is very, very, very powerful technology, and it was created under Robert Mueller’s watch. The last person I would think that should be investigating Donald Trump is Robert Mueller, who was collecting information on Donald Trump ten years ago.
Mueller has a huge conflict of interest, a huge conflict of interest.
Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, did not mince = words when explaining the dangerous high-stakes maneuvering around Montgomery’s case:
These are vicious people. These people are capable of killing people to keep this thing secret. That’s why, Congress I believe, doesn’t want to look into this. They are afraid of them too. They are= more powerful than the President of the United States.
This government knows no bounds.
Special Counsel Mueller’s alleged involvement in a secret surveillance program said to have targeted Trump came to light during the July 8, 2017 broadcast of the radio program Special Prosecutor with Larry Klayman.
According to former billionaire Tim Blixseth, whose ex-wife was Montgomery’s business partner, the CIA decided in 2009 to expand the surveillance program by dedicating $5 million in additional computer hardware.
According to Blixseth, the new equipment gave the surveillance program the far greater technical power needed for hacking into secure networks and = devices.
On Klayman’s radio show, Montgomery discussed his claim that under Mueller, the FBI provided computers used to spy on Trump and other Americans.
Montgomery added journalists and reporters to the list of individuals and groups that he has identified as alleged surveillance targets. He also added embattled Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. Montgomery had previously indicated that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and 156 judges were also = surveillance targets.
Bundy, who is currently incarcerated while awaiting trial, has been under surveillance since 2003, claims Montgomery.
Klayman separately interviewed Carol Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s wife.
Montgomery said, I remember providing information to the FBI on the Bundy’s in Nevada. They started collecting information on them in 2003.
They collected their phone records, who they were talking with, etc.
Klayman added:
It was heavy-handedness by the Bureau of Land Management that w= as then being run by a lackey, a former corrupt Senator from Las Vegas, Harry Reid, and President Barack Obama, that were trying to take his land away= from him .
Dennis just revealed that the intelligence agencies were actually surveilling the Bundy family, trying to set them up, trying to destroy them. Harry Reid, then Senator from Nevada, wanted to take their lan= d away. He was reportedly trying to sell it to the Chinese. He was working = with Obama to do that.
Montgomery says that he worked on the domestic collection program not on= ly under former FBI Director Mueller, but also under his successor FBI Director James Comey. President Trump fired James Comey on May 9, 2017.
Montgomery says that he was also tasked with surveilling innocent Americans for former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The authors previously identified audio tapes of = Montgomery and Blixseth. Blixseth refers to a program called The Hammer probably the CIA’ s plugin implanter called HAMR, described in Wikileaks Vault 7 documents.
Obama=E2=80=99s surveillance Hammer on Trump= worse than Watergate
Montgomery claims to have designed the surveillance program but decided = to become a whistleblower because it was being used to conduct illegal and = unconstitutional surveillance of innocent Americans. Montgomery is alleged = to have submitted eighteen whistleblower complaints. On an audio tape, Blixseth said:
He filed eighteen whistleblower complaints, with the inspector general of the Air Force, inspector general of the CIA, inspector general of the United States, (Attorney General Eric) Holder. He sent an actual letter to Obama, and to his private fax number, and how the hell he got it I don’t know.
So, he got rejected eighteen times.
On June 5, 2017 Montgomery and Klayman filed a federal lawsuit against the following former and current federal officials and federal agencies, named as defen= dants:
- Barack Obama, as an individual and in his past official capacity as President of the United States;
- James Comey, as an individual and in his past official capacity as former Director of the FBI;
- The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI);
- Admiral Michael S. Rogers, as an individual, and in his official capacity as Director of the NSA;
- The National Security Agency (NSA);
- John Brennan, as an individual and in his former official capacity as Director of the CIA;
- Michael Pompeo, as an individual and in his official capacity as Director of the CIA;
- The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA);
- James R. Clapper, as an individual and in his past official capacity as Director of National Intelligence;
- Dan Coats, as an individual and in his official capacity as Director of= National Intelligence.
The pleadings in the lawsuits allege:
Defendants Rogers, Pompeo, Coats, Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan acted outside the scope of their employment, in their personal capacities, and through their surrogates still embedded in the Trump administration (the Obama Deep State) to illegally and unconstitutionally spy on millions of Americans, including Plaintiffs, without probable c= ause or a warrant.
[Ed Donegan interjecting Deep State was Mike Pence, Pompeo, William Barr, likely appointed in negations with Never Trumpers and scandals unfolding on scandal from Prescott Bush relative Billy Bush tied to FOXP2 elsewhere]
The case is being heard by Judge Richard J. Leon, Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Leon ruled in Klayman’s favor in the landmark case Klayman v. Obama, which also concerned NSA surveillance, a ruling which was challenged on appeal by the government.
Judge Royce C. Lamberth, another Senior Federal District Judge for the District of Columbia, who struck a limited immunity agreement for Montgomery with the FBI, calls Montgomery’s and Klayman case the pinnacle of national importance, says Klayman.
Judge Lamberth, who formerly served as Chief Judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court, helped arrange the limited immunity d= eal under which Montgomery turned over 47 hard drives, alleged to be storing over 600 million pages of documentation, to James Comey’s office at the FBI on August 19, 2015.
Montgomery stated:
I produced 600 million pages. If you printed out each page it w= ould be thirty miles high stacked one on top of another. The information is= very sensitive information. They collected google searches, credit cards, = phone records, images, pictures, anything and everything, and they did it f= or one reason: leverage. They didn’t know when, but they knew sooner or later they would need that information to use for those leverage against a person.
The amount of information is mind-boggling, and I gave all of that to FBI Director Comey”s office.
Special Counsel Mueller hired 13 lawyers to investigate the Russia-Trump= collusion, saying, Legality has been assured=E2=80=9D although Co= mey and Clapper both admitted during official congressional testimony that = they had found nothing.
While he was FBI Director, Comey informed President Trump on three separ= ate occasions that the President was not under investigation. All 13 attorn= eys that Mueller hired are Democrats, many of whom donated to the 2016 Hill= ary Clinton campaign, according to Klayman, who called them ultra-= leftists.=E2=80=9D
Klayman added:
It is clear Mueller is intending to issue indictments. It is cl= ear he intends to prosecute. He (Mueller) may not be able to prosecute Pres= ident Trump because he is president, but he will prosecute the people in an= d around Trump to create such a stench that he will refer that on to Congress for the impeachment of President Trump.
Mueller previously testified under oath to Congress that all surveillanc= e carried out by the NSA was legal:
The challenge in a position such as I have held for the past el= even years is to balance on the one hand the security of the nation and on = the other hand the civil liberties that we enjoy in this country.
Tne of the things we do insist upon and assure is that any endeavor we unde= rtake, addressing national security, is legal.
The programs to which you refer, the legality has been assured by the Department of Justice.
The FISA court has assured the legality of the efforts undertaken in these two programs Congress has been briefed.
If the = line is to be drawn differently, so be it. We would follow that to the letter of the law.
Were there any other surveillance programs, besides the two that Director Mueller was referencing? Could the Hammer have been conducting domestic surveillance without the knowledge, consent, and oversight= of Congress and the FISA Court?
While Mueller was FBI Director, Comey served as deputy attorney general from 2003 to 2005. Former FBI Special Agent Coleen Rowley, who claims to have met Mueller, became a whistleblower on pre 9/11 intelligence failures.
Rowley claims in a video interview:
https://targetedmanhattanprojectvictim.wordpress.com/wp-admin/3D%22cid:fram=
Both of these figures, Mueller and James Comey, first of all, t= hey became very close.
Mueller and Comey both got undeserved reputations as being men of integrity again, these two were close.
In April 2017 the FISA Court revealed that the NSA under Obama, illegall= y spied on Americans, abusing their Fourth Amendment rights. The FISA Court= referred to the situation as a very serious Fourth Amendment issu= e.
The NSA intends to delete the vast majority of its upstream Internet data to further protect the privacy of U.S. person communications.
Adding injury to injury, the Obama Administration’s claims to have destroyed vast quantities of evidence of their illegal surveillance.= The destruction of evidence may make it impossible for those who have been= damaged by the Obama Administration’s illegal actions to sue for d= amages. According to Klayman, An order leaked by the Foreign Intel= ligence Surveillance Court (FISA) revealed that intelligence agencies were = committing these crimes.
Who sat on top of this?
That, of course, was Comey at the FBI. That order revealed that Comey’s FBI was engaged in illegal surveillance. So was the NSA. So was the= CIA. So was the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees these in= telligence agencies.
