Rethinking John Lennon’s Assassination

The FBI’s War on Rock Stars

By Salvador Astucia

 

PART II: THE BUREAU

Chapter 3: The FBI, Past & Present

 

 

FBI's role in Lennon’s murder

 

There are many reasons to believe the FBI sponsored Lennon’s assassination. First, it is widely documented that the Bureau conducted extensive surveillance on Lennon from the time he and Yoko moved to New York City in 1971. Fenton Bresler provided a fair amount of information about the Bureau’s surveillance in his book, Who Killed John Lennon?, plus Bresler tries to blame the CIA as well; but I have found no tangible evidence of CIA involvement. Jon Wiener, a history professor at the University of California, provided extensive documentation of the FBI's surveillance of Lennon in the book, Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files.

 

Second, Chapman had a friend, Dana Reeves (aka, Gene Scott), who certainly fits the profile of a southern cop with ties to the FBI. Reeves was a policeman for the sheriff’s office in Henry County, Georgia. As previously stated, Reeves gave Chapman exploding hollow-point bullets which were allegedly used to kill Lennon,1 although I have already presented forensic evidence which exonerates Chapman as Lennon’s killer. Also stated earlier, Lennon’s wounds were on the wrong side of his body, plus, there is a major question as to whether the .38 revolver found at the crime scene is the same weapon purchased by Chapman on October 27, 1980 from J&S Enterprises Ltd, a gun shop in midtown Honolulu. In addition, Albert Goldman asserted—in his book, The Lives of John Lennon—that Chapman threw the gun and bullets in the ocean while in Honolulu some time between November 10 and December 6, 1980. Given Goldman’s dubious track record for accuracy, this assertion is questionable; but no one has challenged it to my knowledge. Therefore, the fact that Chapman had exploding bullets in his possession during his first trip to New York—from October 29, 1980 through November 10, 1980—is somewhat irrelevant; however, the fact that exploding bullets were given to him by a policeman is not. This fact alone points to FBI involvement.

 

Why would Dana Reeves, a policeman, be so closely involved with the man who would later be sent to prison for murdering John Lennon? To answer this question, allow me to present some background on the relationship between the FBI and police forces throughout the United States. The late William Sullivan—a high-ranking official at the FBI—described in his book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI, how the FBI grooms officers in police forces across America, thereby running what is tantamount to a national secret police force.

 

Hoover always took the public position that the United States didn’t have and didn’t need a national police force. But for all practical purposes we had one, a secret one at that, and it was controlled by the FBI. The national police force was made up of graduates of the FBI National Academy’s special three-week training course for police officers. It was an honor for a member of a city or state police force to be selected for this training—in fact, the men selected for this training often rose to positions of prominence within their own organizations shortly after returning home. And they were suitably grateful. With good reason, Hoover felt that the alumni of the FBI training course were his men. Thanks to his network of FBI-trained police officers, we had a private and frequently helpful line to most city and state police organizations throughout the country.…Having a man accepted for FBI training was quite a plum for any chief of police. Hoover was aware of this, and he took full advantage of the leverage.2

 

Regarding Dana Reeves, it is possible that he was a graduate of the FBI National Academy’s three-week training course for police officers. Or he might have done favors for an Academy graduate, a colleague. It is quite possible that the FBI called on Dana Reeves to make Chapman the fall guy in Lennon’s murder. Reeves became, in effect, one of Chapman’s handlers. He manipulated Chapman into doing things that would later be used against him. In the intelligence community, "sheepdipping" is the term for this form of manipulation. Chapman was nonviolent and never displayed any interest in firearms. But Reeves made sure that Chapman’s co-workers at the YMCA saw them playing with a gun. Later Reeves encouraged Chapman to take a job as a security guard. Chapman even took a target shooting class. It is possible, however, that Reeves had no prior knowledge that Chapman was being set up to take the blame for killing Lennon.

 

A third factor pointing to FBI involvement is Chapman’s affiliation with the YMCA, which could very well be a used by the FBI as a spy network. A fourth fact is the FBI is clearly a tool for Jewish political forces—a point I will elaborate on shortly—and John Lennon was not exactly a friend of Jews, for reasons previously stated in Chapter 2.

 

Zionist tool

Many critics have accused the FBI of being co-opted by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and now does Israel’s bidding. My research, however, indicates that this view is not entirely accurate. The FBI has ALWAYS done Israel’s bidding. In fact, the FBI was apparently established to do Israel’s bidding long before the Jewish state was created in 1948. Unbelievable as it may seem, the FBI was created by a descendant of French aristocracy, a family whose patriarch—in the eyes of many—did more for worldwide Jewry than anyone in the last millennium. I am referring to the French Corsican general and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821), whose alternate name was "the Corsican." This is not a joke, although it would be funny if it were a farce, but it is completely true. The FBI was founded by a fairly close relative of Napoleon’s. In 1908, Napoleon Bonaparte’s great-nephew, Charles Joseph Bonaparte, created the FBI during his tenure as Attorney General for President Theodore Roosevelt. Actually the organization was originally named the "Bureau of Investigation," but later evolved into the "Federal Bureau of Investigation."3

 

Charles Joseph Bonaparte was the son of Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte (aka, Napoleon-Joseph-Charles-Paul), nephew of Napoleon I. Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte was the son of Napoleon’s youngest brother, Jerome, and first wife, Elizabeth Patterson. So the FBI can be linked directly, through French aristocratic blood, to Napoleon, the emperor.4

 

Napoleon is loved by Jews worldwide because, on January 31, 1807, he reconvened the Sanhedrin in Paris after the ancient council was dormant for nearly 1,400 years, since AD 425. Subsequent Sanhedrin meetings were convened which ultimately led to Jewish resettlement in France, and later all of Europe, after their expulsion in the 15th and 16th centuries from virtually all of Western Europe. Because of his advocacy for Jews, Napoleon has become a beloved figure in the Jewish community. In fact, Jews have established a Napoleon fan club called the International Napoleonic Society, located in one of my favorite cities: Montreal, Canada. The current president of INS is Ben Weider.5

 

As most religious scholars know, the Sanhedrin was the Jewish council in Palestine under Roman rule, to which various political, religious, and judicial functions have been attributed. It was the Sanhedrin guards who arrested Jesus and brought him to the Sanhedrin headquarters where he was interrogated by high priest Joseph Caiaphas, assisted by his father-in-law, Ananus. They found Jesus guilty of breaking several Jewish laws and turned him over to Roman Governor Pontius Pilate for a formal inquisition and subsequent death by crucifixion. According to the Gospels, Pilate objected and did not want to harm Jesus, but the high priests insisted, and subsequently, Pilate carried out their wishes in order to keep peace with the local Jewish authorities at the Sanhedrin. Bowing to the pressure of the Sanhedrin, Pilate issued a decree that Jesus would be crucified.6

 

Napoleon, the French Revolution, Jews and the Sanhedrin

 

The reason Napoleon reconvened the Sanhedrin was to get French Jews to reconcile Talmudic laws (Jewish laws) with the laws of France.7 Jews became emancipated in France during the years of the French Revolution, a movement that shook France between 1789 and 1799.8 Five critical events occurred during that period—and within ten years therefter—which eventually allowed Jews to resettle in France. The first event was the Declaration of the Rights of Man. French aristocrat Lafayette (aka, the marquis de Lafayette) wrote the first draft the Declaration of the Rights of Man which became law on August 26, 1789. (Note: This is the same Lafayette who fought with the American colonists during the American Revolutionary War, was appointed major-general by the colonists, and convinced Louis XVI to send a 6,000-man expeditionary army to aid the colonists.9) Article 10 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man dealt with religious freedom, and consequently marked the beginning of Jewish resettlement in France after living in exile for several centuries. The following is the text of Article 10 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man:

 

No one may be disturbed on account of his opinions, even religious ones, as long as the manifestation of such opinions does not interfere with the established Law and Order.10

 

Second event: On September 27, 1791, Jews were officially emancipated in France—by unanimous decision—by the French National Assembly.11 After emancipation, Jews began settling in cities such as Strasbourg, Marseilles and Paris.12 Third event: On October 5, 1795, a young French General, Napoleon Bonaparte, crushed royalist opposition (the "White Terror") to the revolutionary government. This was the beginning of Napoleon’s rise to power.13 Fourth event: In 1804, Napoleon became emperor of France and ruled until his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815.14 Shortly after Napoleon became emperor, government officials began receiving complaints about Jews, particularly their practice of usury. Many called for the expulsion of Jews, but Napoleon refused to concede to such an extreme resolution. Jewish scholar, Simon Schwarzfuchs, described in his book, Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin, how Napoleon rejected expulsion but pressed for laws of exception. "To expel the Jews," wrote Schwarzfuchs, "would be a show of weakness; to reform them would be a sign of strength."15 Fifth event: On January 31, 1807, Napoleon reconvened the Sanhedrin in order to reconcile Jewish law with French law.

 

Napoleon’s motive for wanting to protect Jews from expulsion is somewhat unclear. Schwarzfuchs portrays him as someone who disliked Jews personally but decided to help them for political reasons. Upon closer examination, however, Schwarzfuchs’ explanation is not believable because Jews were disliked by nearly all political factions in France in the early 1800s. I have found no direct evidence that Napoleon was a descendant of Jewish ancestors, but his actions indicate he quite possibly was. For example, Schwarzfuchs acknowledges that while a French general, Napoleon attempted to advance toward Syria and conquer Palestine in 1799. Schwarzfuchs further notes that a French paper, the Paris Moniteur Universel, announced that Napoleon invited Jews of Asia and Africa to help France conquer the ancient city of Jerusalem. The following is an excerpt from Schwarzfuchs’ book, Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin:

 

Another event is connected with Bonaparte’s sorjourn in the East, and his attempt to advance toward Syria and conquer Palestine. In the Paris Moniteur Universel, on [May 22, 1799], it was announced: "Bonaparte has published a proclamation in which he invites all the Jews of Asia and Africa to gather under his flag in order to re-establish the ancient Jerusalem. He has already given arms to a great number, and their battalions threaten Aleppo [a city in northwest Syria, near the Turkish border]."…The exact text of the proclamation has not been discovered.16

 

Schwarzfuchs went on to challenge the authenticity of the cited proclamation itself; however, that discussion is of lesser importance because Schwarzfuchs accepts two important historical points. First, Napoleon attempted to conquer Palestine in 1799. Second, the Paris Moniteur Universel announced that Napoleon invited Jews of Asia and Africa to help France conquer Jerusalem. These are two amazing discoveries in their own right, and Schwarzfuchs does not challenge them. Again, Schwarzfuchs constantly tries to portray Napoleon as someone who disliked Jews personally, but somehow managed to help them through a series of historical events beyond his control. At the end of the day, Napoleon’s decision regarding Jewish—which culminated with his call to reconvene the ancient Sanhedrin—helped the Jews of France a great deal.

 

After reading Simon Schwarzfuchs’ book, Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin, it became obvious that Napoleon did more than reconvene the Sanhedrin as a one-time event in 1807. He re-established a permanent Sanhedrin in France, and it exists today, but under a different name. Napoleon renamed the Sanhedrin the French Consistory System. It is important to understand, however, that this assertion—that the Sanhedrin and the French Consistory System are the same thing—is my conclusion, not Schwarzfuchs’. He merely provides information, but he does not connect all of the dots. Schwarzfuchs acknowledges that Napoleon reconvened the Sanhedrin and he (Schwarzfuchs) describes how Rabbis at the Sanhedrin and Napoleon created the Consistory System. What Schwarzfuchs does not tell us directly is that the Sanhedrin and the French Consistory System are essentially the same thing. Let’s examine the two entities. The American Heritage Dictionary (Second College Edition) defines the Sanhedrin as follows:

 

The highest judicial and ecclesiastical council of the ancient Jewish nation, composed of from 70 to 72 members.

 

Now let’s examine the term "Consistory" as defined in the Jewish Encyclopedia by Gotthard Deutsch, Ph.D., Professor of Jewish History, Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio. The following is Professor Deutsch’s definition of Consistory:

 

An ecclesiastical court; in Jewish usage, a body governing the Jewish congregations of a province or of a country; also the district administered by the consistory…17

 

The two definitions—Sanhedrin versus Consistory—are almost identical, except a Consistory deals with geographic regions; whereas, the Sanhedrin does not. In other words, a Consistory System serves the same purpose as the Sanhedrin, but the former is a distributed system whereas the latter is centralized. Also, when the French Consistory System was first established, it had between 57 and 70 members, per Simon Schwarzfuchs. That is close to the number of members in the ancient Sanhedrin, between 70 and 72. Schwarzfuchs indicates that the French Consistory System consists of 13 regional consistories—each having four or five members—plus a central consistory made up of five members. The following excerpt from Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin, by Simon Schwarzfuchs, states that each regional consistory has four or five members:

 

The basis of the [Consistory] system was the synagogue…The seat of the consistory would always be in the town with the largest Jewish population…Each consistorial synagogue would have a chief rabbi, and would be administered by a board consisting of a chief rabbi, another rabbi if possible, and three notables, two of whom had to be chosen from among the residents of the city of the seat of the consistory. The eldest of these four or five members would become the presiding officer, for paying the rabbi, and other expenses, and would account annually for those expenses.18

 

The following excerpt from Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin, by Simon Schwarzfuchs, states that regional consistories were originally established in thirteen cities:

 

The Ministry of the Interior and the prefects had meanwhile prepared a list of proposed consistorial synagogues, some of which covered only one department, while others included many departments. The Central Consistory agreed to their suggestion, and the Emperor decreed their establishment on 11 December 1808. The seats of these synagogues were to be set up in Paris, Strasbourg, Wintzenheim (later Colmar), Mainz, Metz, Nancy, Trier, Coblenz, Crefeld, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Turin and Cassel.19

 

The following excerpt from Napoleon, The Jews and the Sanhedrin, by Simon Schwarzfuchs, states that the Central Consistory has five members:

 

One of [Napoleon’s] decrees of 1808 had provided for the establishment of a new religious organization for the Jews of France. The whole system was organized in a hierarchy headed by the Central Consistory, which had to be appointed first, in order to allow for the implementation of the Emperor’s decree. The Central Consistory was to contain three chief rabbis and two lay members, but who was to appoint its ecclesiastical members?20 [They were appointed by a consensus among several groups.]

 

According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, per Gotthard Deutsch, the modern French Consistory system has undergone little change since its creation by Napoleon. The following is an excerpt from Gotthard Deutsch’s article in the Jewish Encyclopedia:

 

Since Napoleon's decree of March 17, 1808, various changes have been introduced in the method of electing the delegates, and some of the provisions assigning to the rabbis the rôle of informers were dropped. The most important changes are contained in the laws of Louis Philippe (May 25, 1844) and of Napoleon III. (June 15, 1850, and Aug. 29, 1862), and the law of Dec. 12, 1872, which introduced the system of universal suffrage in the elections of the consistories. There are at present twelve consistories: Paris, Nancy, Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseilles, Bayonne, Epinal, Lille, Besançon, Algiers, Constantine, Oran; each is composed of the grand rabbi of the consistorial district and six lay members, with a secretary. Each consistory has a representative in the central consistory, which therefore is composed of twelve members and the grand rabbi of France; its seat is in Paris. In Alsace-Lorraine the former consistories of Metz, Strasburg, and Colmar still exist, but they are not united under a central consistory, though the establishment of such an organization is now (1903) under consideration. The consistory of Belgium has its seat in Brussels.21

 

Given that Napoleon Bonaparte reconvened the Sanhedrin in 1807, and given that Napoleon’s great-nephew Charles Joseph Bonaparte created the FBI one hundred and one years later (1908), and given that a permanent French Sanhedrin—renamed the Consistory System—was established during the Sanhedrin meetings in 1807 and 1808, under the auspices of Napoleon, it could easily be argued that the FBI is America’s Napoleonic Sanhedrin.

 

Sowing the seeds of Zionism

Interesting things were happening in America and the world around the time the FBI was created in 1908. During a 21-year period from 1896 through 1917, several events occurred which sowed the seeds of Zionism in America. The following is a timeline of those events.

 

In 1896, Theodor Herzl—founder of the political form of Zionism, a movement to establish a Jewish homeland—published a pamphlet, The Jewish State, which proposed that the Jewish question was a political question to be settled by a world council of nations. In August 1897, Herzl organized a world congress of Zionists that met in Basel, Switzerland. This is considered the first step toward establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine.22 On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was assassinated by Leon Czolgosz.* McKinley was succeeded by his vice-president, Theodore Roosevelt.

 

As previously stated, in 1908, then-US attorney general Charles Joseph Bonaparte—who served in President Theodore Roosevelt’s administration—established the Bureau of Investigation within the Department of Justice ostensibly to answer the need for a federal investigative body. Again, Charles Joseph Bonaparte was the great-nephew of Napoleon the Emperor, and Napoleon is a beloved figure within the worldwide Jewish community. In 1913 B'nai B'rith established the Anti-Defamation League.23 The following is the ADL’s charter since its creation:

 

The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens.24

 

B'nai B'rith is represented at the United Nations through its membership in the Coordinating Board of Jewish Organizations. B'nai B'rith, founded in New York City in 1843, defends a host of Jewish causes which include promoting intercultural relations, sponsoring Jewish college students (especially through the Hillel Foundation), supporting hospitals and philanthropic institutions, providing vocational guidance, sponsoring welfare projects in Israel, assisting Jewish victims of natural disasters, and carrying on a broad program of community service and welfare for Jewish people.25

 

Another big event occurred in 1913. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act which established a central banking authority in the United States: the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve has historically been run to a large extent by Jewish individuals. For example, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve, Allen Greenspan, is Jewish. The Federal Reserve performs two major tasks: (a) it makes loans to commercial banks, and (b) it sets the prime-lending rate, which is the rate charged to banks that borrow money. The prime-lending rate is typically increased when there is a concern of inflation during a vibrant and fast-growing economy. On the flip side, the prime-lending rate is typically decreased when the economy slows. The individual who controls the prime-lending rate—the chairman of the Federal Reserve—has vast control over the United States economy. In addition, the Federal Reserve is authorized to issue Federal Reserve notes that constitute the entire supply of paper currency in the country. The system consists of a Board of Governors, twelve Federal Reserve banks, the Federal Open Market Committee, the Federal Advisory Council, and, since 1976, a Consumer Advisory Council. There are several thousand member banks.26

 

A third big event occurred in 1913; however, it was not necessarily connected to Jews, as far as I can determine. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, which gave Congress the power to establish an income tax. This was the birth of the Internal Revenue Service as we know it today, but its roots go back to the Civil War when—in 1862—President Lincoln and Congress created the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and established an income tax to finance war expenses. The income tax was repealed ten years later, but Congress revived it in 1894. The following year, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.27 Eighteen years later, the 16th Amendment was ratified and the IRS became a permanent fixture within the infrastructure of the United States government. It seems a bit odd that three major events occurred in 1913. The ADL, IRS, and Federal Reserve were all created that year. In addition, 1913 was a transitional year when President William H. Taft was leaving office and Woodrow Wilson was entering the White House.

 

On November 2, 1917, the Balfour Declaration—which endorsed Jewish migration to Palestine—was ratified by Britain. The Balfour Declaration was a formal statement of British support for the establishment of Palestine as a national homeland for Jewish people. This set the stage for the eventual establishment of the independent Jewish State of Israel thirty-one years later (in 1948). The Balfour Declaration was a brief official communiqué reportedly written by Sir Arthur James Balfour,* British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and sent—on November 2, 1917—to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild of the English Zionist Federation.28 The following is the text of the Balfour Declaration:

 

His Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

 

J. Edgar Hoover, High Priest (?)

When the Bureau of Investigation was created in 1908, its director was Stanley W. Finch, a man whose name has essentially been erased from history books. Few people realize that five men served as FBI director prior to J. (John) Edgar Hoover’s appointment in 1924. The "pre-Hoover" directors were: Stanley W. Finch, 1908 - 1912; Alexander Bruce Bielaski, 1912 - 1919; William E. Allen, 1919 (Acting); William J. Flynn, 1919 - 1921; and William J. Burns, 1921 - 1924.29

 

In 1924 Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone (later to become chief justice of the United States) appointed J. Edgar Hoover (b.1895–d.1972) as director. Hoover presided as FBI director for 48 years until his death in 1972.30 I have not researched Hoover’s heritage extensively, but I know that his father was Dickerson Naylor Hoover (b.1857–d.1925), his mother was Anna Marie Scheitlin (b.1860–d.1938), and his maternal grandparents were Jacob Scheitlin and Margaretha Hitz. Jacob and Margaretha were apparently Swiss and were married in Saint Gallen, Switzerland on April 11, 1823.31 Whether Jacob Scheitlin and Margaretha Hitz still lived in Switzerland when Theodor Herzl held the first World Congress of Zionists in Bazel, Switzerland in August 1897 is uncertain and requires more research; but it is an interesting question. J. Edgar Hoover was two years old when Herzl’s renowned event occurred.

A younger Hoover (from FBI's official website)

I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but the name "Jacob Scheitlin" sounds awfully Jewish, and "Hitz" has a similar ring. If they were in fact Jewish, this means Hoover’s mother was Jewish, which of course would make him Jewish as well. (According to Jewish law, if someone’s mother is Jewish, then he/she is also Jewish, regardless of the father’s religion.) Consequently, it could be argued that J. Edgar Hoover was the first high priest of America’s Napoleonic Sanhedrin.

 

 

 

If Hoover turns out to be secretly Jewish, he certainly would not be the first high ranking US official to keep his ethnicity secret. In my book, Opium Lords, I assert that President Lyndon was secretly Jewish as well.

On the FBI’s official webpage (http://www.fbi.gov), there is a page with photographs of all the directors since the Bureau’s creation in 1908. Oddly, webmaster chose a photograph of a younger J. Edgar Hoover which gives the definite impression that Hoover was partially African-American, a rumor I have heard in the past. In fact, a former friend of mine—an individual I now suspect is an FBI informant—told me on numerous occasions that Hoover was partially black. Astonishingly, the FBI is subtly pushing the same story by displaying a photograph of Hoover on its web site where he looks very much like an African-American. But if one analyzes the photo of Hoover closely, the only "black" feature he possesses is kinky hair, a physical attribute of many Jews as well as blacks. Consequently, I have concluded that the story about Hoover’s black heritage is merely disinformation, manufactured by the FBI, intended to disguise his true ethnicity which is apparently Jewish.

The FBI’s infrastructure

The FBI has 59 field offices throughout the United States and hundreds of satellite offices reporting to each field office. The following is an overview of the FBI’s field office infrastructure from the Bureau’s official website:

The FBI's Field Offices are located in major cities throughout the United States and in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, resident agencies are maintained in smaller cities and towns across the country. The locations were selected according to crime trends, the need for regional geographic centralization, and the need to efficiently manage resources.

Each Field Office is overseen by a Special Agent in Charge (SAC), except those located in Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Due to their large size, these offices each are managed by an Assistant Director in Charge (ADIC). The ADICs are assisted by SACs responsible for specific programs.

The FBI encourages the public to report any suspected violations of U.S. federal law. You can do so by calling your local FBI office, Legal Attache office, or by submitting a tip via the FBI Tips and Public Leads form.32

The FBI has 59 field offices in the following US cities: (Mailing addresses are shown in Appendix J.)

The FBI’s charter was originally domestic criminal investigation, later expanding its role—under FDR, in 1939—to investigating security affairs.34 Somehow the Bureau has managed to expand internationally, competing with the CIA for international intelligence services. The following is an overview—from the Bureau’s official website—of the FBI’s involvement in international affairs:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is working every day not only in the United States, but in 52 countries outside our borders. The FBI has a Legal Attache Program which was created to help foster good will and gain greater cooperation with international police partners in support of the FBI's domestic mission. The goal is to link law enforcement resources and other officials outside the U.S. with law enforcement in this country to better ensure the safety of the American public here and abroad.

Presently, there are 45 Legal Attache (Legat) offices and four Legat sub-offices. The FBI's Special Agent representatives abroad carry the titles of Legal Attache, Deputy Legal Attache, or Assistant Legal Attache. The FBI believes it is essential to station highly skilled Special Agents in other countries to help prevent terrorism and crime from reaching across borders and harming Americans in their homes and workplaces.

Legats not only help international police agencies with training activities, they facilitate resolution of the FBI's domestic investigations which have international leads. The Legat program focuses on deterring crime that threatens America such as drug trafficking, international terrorism, and economic espionage.

The FBI's Legal Attache Program is overseen by the International Operations Branch of the Investigative Services Division at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The International Operations Branch of the FBI keeps in close contact with other federal agencies; Interpol; foreign police and security officers in Washington, D.C.; and national law enforcement associations.35

  William Sullivan - Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI  
I gained a great deal of insight about the inner workings of the FBI from reading the late William C. Sullivan’s book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI, co-authored with journalist Bill Brown. Sullivan was J. Edgar Hoover’s assistant for thirty years until he was forced out in 1971 for openly challenging Hoover’s methods. Born in 1912, Sullivan was seventeen years younger than Hoover.37 During his tenure with the Bureau, Sullivan was Assistant Director in charge of Domestic Intelligence for ten years, a member of the United States Intelligence Board, and was eventually promoted to the Bureau’s number three man. Besides being Hoover’s assistant, Sullivan was operationally in charge of all of the Bureau’s criminal, intelligence, and espionage investigations. Few people knew more about Hoover or the inner workings of the all-powerful organization he built.  
William Sullivan
 

 

Although Sullivan’s official position during his last year with the Bureau was third in command, he assumed the role of acting director. "For all practical purposes I acted as Hoover’s number two man," Sullivan wrote, "because by 1970 Clyde Tolson [the actual number two man] was very ill, having suffered from strokes that left him physically disabled."38

On November 9, 1977, Sullivan was shot and killed—reportedly by Robert Daniels Jr, age 22, of Libson, New Hampshire—while hunting near his home in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire. Sullivan was struck in the neck with a .30-caliber high-powered rifle. He was 65 years old. Daniels—the son of a state policeman—claimed to have mistaken Sullivan for a deer. He was arrested, charged with a misdemeanor—"shooting a human being by accident"—and released to the custody of his father. Later Daniels was fined $500 and lost his hunting license for 10 years. No further investigation was ever done.39 (See Appendix H for details about Sullivan’s death.)

Sullivan’s book

Sullivan’s book—an exposé on Hoover’s FBI—was published in 1979, two years after Sullivan’s death. Sullivan had recruited journalist Bill Brown to help write it. Brown met with Sullivan on numerous occasions and collected a series of taped interviews from which he transcribed, edited, and turned into a book. The book was a major indictment of J. Edgar Hoover, Lyndon Johnson, and the FBI as an institution. I have read the book in its entirety, and for the most part, I am satisfied that it is genuine, that it reflects the views of a fair-minded individual who held a high-ranking position with the FBI for many years. Having stated that, however, I suspect Brown—or someone else involved in the book’s publication—added several fraudulent references to Jews, and how the FBI discriminates against them. According to Brown, Sullivan believed there were not enough Jews and other minorities in the FBI. Here is an excerpt from The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI, by William Sullivan and Bill Brown:

On 4 August 1941, I was one of fifty men who reported to the Department of Justice to train as a special agent…As I took a closer look at my classmates, I started to notice a certain sameness about the fifty of us. Although we came from every part of the country and from every type of background, there were no Jews, blacks, or Hispanics in the class. I was later to learn that this was Hoover’s policy.40

Let’s back up and examine Sullivan’s alleged statements. He made them in 1941. Blacks in particular were kept out of many facets of American society at that time. Jim Crow Laws had been in place in the South since 1877 and continued until the 1950s when the civil-rights movement gained political momentum. But segregation wasn’t limited to the South. In 1941, the armed forces in the United States was still segregated. It ended seven years later—on July 31, 1948—when President Truman integrated the US military by executive order. Consequently, I find it difficult to believe that William Sullivan—a man I believe was highly intelligent—would think it was something out of the ordinary to exclude blacks or Hispanics from any organization in 1941. If the FBI was practicing racial discrimination in 1941, then they were right in step with mainstream America. In 1941, segregation was as American as mom and apple pie.

Regarding discrimination against Jews, how would Sullivan have known who was Jewish and who wasn’t? Many Jews have obvious physical characteristics—such as long pointed noses with flaring nostrils, kinky black hair, and so on—or they wear yarmulkes or similar Jewish style clothing. But many Jews have non-stereotypical noses, straight hair, and do not wear garments which reveal their ethnicity. How would an intelligent man like William Sullivan know for certain that none of his fifty classmates were Jewish? Recall, this was his first day at the Justice Department. He allegedly concluded—purely from observation—that none of his classmates were Jewish. "As I took a closer look at my classmates," Sullivan allegedly stated, "I started to notice a certain sameness about the fifty of us." He only looked at them, he didn’t actually talk to them. Yet he allegedly concluded that none of them were Jewish. This is simply not believable. I also find it difficult to believe that Sullivan would make such a claim about Jews specifically, given the FBI’s Jewish roots. Even more troubling, Brown included in Appendix C (of Sullivan’s book) several photographs of memos between Hoover and Sullivan, dated September and October 1971, when Sullivan was forced into retirement by Hoover. The photos look authentic—memos generated from typewriters with the authors’ signatures included. But a final letter from Sullivan to Hoover is displayed not as a photograph, but as standard text, like the rest of the book. The letter is several pages long and contains a section entitled, "The FBI and Jewish Applicants," where Sullivan allegedly criticizes the bureau for discriminating against Jews. Why would the other memos between Sullivan and Hoover be photographs of the originals, but the letter containing a reference to the FBI’s practice of discriminating against Jews be text? This further supports my conclusion that Bill Brown—or a colleague—made fraudulent references to Jews in Sullivan’s book as a means of hiding the FBI’s true agenda. But those few references notwithstanding, the rest of the book appears to be quite genuine.

FBI aids Jewish media monopoly

Figure 3-1 is a diagram of a five-tiered system wherein the FBI works jointly with Jewish media moguls to control, suppress and censor objectionable articles published in virtually all media outlets in every small town, city and village throughout all fifty states in the United States of America. Tier 1—Six media conglomerates and major newspapers/magazinesis controlled directly by Jews. Most of the major news outlets are controlled by a handful of Jewish individuals through their executive control of six media conglomerates. These Jewish individuals include, but are not limited to: Michael Eisner, Edgar Bronfman Sr, Edgar Bronfman Jr, Sumner Redstone, Dennis Dammerman, Gerald Levin, Robert Pittman and Peter Chernin who hold (or recently held) high-ranking executive positions at the following six media conglomerates:* AOL Time Warner, the Walt Disney Company, Vivendi Universal, Viacom, General Electric, and News Corporation Limited. The stated media conglomerates have a monopoly on the electronic news and entertainment outlets. Collectively, they control ABC, NBC, CBS, the Turner Broadcasting System, CNN, MTV, Universal Studios, MCA Records, Geffen Records, DGC Records, GRP Records, Rising Tide Records, Curb/Universal Records, and Interscope Records.41

Many of the larger independent newspapers are owned by Jewish interests as well. An example is the family of the late Samuel I. "Si" Newhouse, which owns Advance Publications, which in turn owns Condé Nast Publications, Parade Publications, Fairchild Publications, American City Business Journals, the Golf Digest companies, plus newspapers in more than twenty American cities. Advance Publications also has extensive interests in cable television, as well as in Internet sites which are related to its print publications.42

Figure 3-1: Five tiers of Media Control

Tiers 2 through 5 are FBI operations apparently implemented at the behest of Jewish power brokers. According to Sullivan, the FBI’s primary mission—under Hoover—was public relations and propaganda, not criminal investigations or intelligence gathering. The following is an excerpt from Sullivan’s book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI:

The FBI’s main thrust was not investigations but public relations and propaganda to glorify Hoover. Everyone who worked in the Bureau, especially those of us in high places around him, bear our share of the blame. Flacking for the FBI was part of every agent’s job from his first day. In fact, "making a good first impression" was a necessary prerequisite for being hired as a special agent in the first place. Bald-headed men, for example, were never hired as agents because Hoover thought a bald head made a bad impression. No matter if the man involved was a member of Phi Beta Kappa or a much-decorated marine, or both. Appearances were terribly important to Hoover, and special agents had to have the right look and wear the right clothes.43

Tier 2—Small dailies & weekliesis controlled by the FBI through issuance of press releases to small local newspapers and journalists throughout the country. Tier 2 is a bona fide propaganda machine run by 11,000 FBI agents* working from the Bureau’s 59 field offices. The following is William Sullivan’s description of the FBI’s propaganda machine (aka, Tier 2) from his book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI:

At the heart of Hoover’s massive public relations operation were fifty- nine FBI field offices whose territory took in every village, town, city, and county in America. Each day, out of these field offices streamed eight thousand agents going into every state, city, and town, talking to and becoming friendly with ordinary citizens from all walks of life.44

…Because of his network of field offices, and thanks to the scores of contacts made and maintained by the special agents in charge, Hoover was able to place "news" stories—invented and written in the bureau, really nothing more than press releases, puff pieces for the FBI—in newspapers all over the country. Our strength was in the small dailies and weeklies; and with hundreds of these papers behind him, Hoover didn’t give a damn about papers like the New York Times or the Washington Post. Most of the men who run small local papers are used to printing stories about grange suppers on the front page; imagine how grateful they are for a story from the FBI. Of course, scores of Washington-based reporters printed stories we gave them too, and they usually printed them under their own bylines. Some of them lived off us. It was an easy way to make a living. They were our press prostitutes.45

…When I hear people talk about a "new" FBI, I know that the changes they talk about are only paper changes. This public relations operation of Hoover’s, this massive attempt to control public opinion, continues to this day, and it is at the very heart of what is wrong with the bureau. Unless it is exposed, until every editor of every little weekly newspaper who ever printed an FBI press handout realizes how he was used, the FBI will do business in the same old way. A massive, pervasive public relations operation is no substitute for the job of investigating crimes. The FBI should conduct its business quietly and it should earn its respect from the citizens of the United States by the results of its work, not from the results of its propaganda.46

Tier 3—Opinion leaders backed by the FBI—is an operation wherein journalists, news commentators and celebrities are backed by the Bureau—or put on its payroll—to serve as opinion leaders, shaping the worldview of the American public to the Bureau’s liking. William Sullivan claimed that Walter Winchell was groomed and backed by the FBI. The following are Sullivan’s comments about Winchell from Sullivan’s book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI:

[Walter] Winchell was probably the first nationally known radio commentator developed by the FBI. We sent Winchell information regularly. He was our mouthpiece. Of course, he became so obvious after a while that he finally lost his value, and Hoover lost interest in him. Winchell once had a tremendous audience, though, and he was very valuable to Hoover then, who used him practically every time he wanted to leak a story.47

Undoubtedly, the FBI has developed several opinion leaders—particularly celebrities—in positions of prominence and influence today. Several names come to mind, although I don’t have absolute corroboration from someone of William Sullivan’s stature. But as the saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." I suspect Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno, Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh, and Bob Woodward are backed by the Bureau. They have huge audiences; collectively these five individuals can garner public support for almost any issue, from supporting President George W. Bush’s war with Iraq to endorsing the official version of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.* In addition, these five individuals can—and often do—tar and feather individuals targeted by the FBI. (e.g., O.J. Simpson, Gary Condit, Robert Blake, President Clinton, and so on). In exchange, these individuals—who possess only mediocre talent—enjoy vast celebrity status.

Oprah Winfrey is a shining example of how someone with limited talent, limited intellect, average interviewing skills, limited physical beauty, and no sex appeal can acquire vast wealth and popularity merely by pushing FBI propaganda when needed. Jay Leno has a degree of skill as a stand-up comic, but he is a terrible interviewer. Yet he hosts a popular late-night talk show. Although Leno is a compulsive giggler, he can be extremely mean-spirited. Almost single-handedly Leno destroyed the career of California congressman Gary Condit by broadcasting rumors and innuendoes that Condit not only had a sexual affair with Chandra Levi, but murdered her as well.

Tier 4—the FBI’s clipping service—involves an area of media control which appears to have a punitive element. In Tier 4, the Bureau apparently creates dossiers for American citizens who write objectionable articles which appear in the various newspapers across the United States. According to William Sullivan, every field office—since he joined the FBI in 1941—had a group whose function was (is) to read newspapers and clip out articles critical of Hoover and mail the articles back to Washington. The following is Sullivan’s description from his book, The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover’s FBI:

On 4 August 1941, I was one of fifty men who reported to the Department of Justice to train as a special agent. I knew this was to be no ordinary job. I felt that the fifty of us were on the threshold of the unknown. First there were the details common to every new job: forms to be filled out, documents to be signed, a tour of the office. On the tour, I grew curious about a group of young women I noticed reading and clipping newspapers, and I stopped to ask one of them what they were doing: "Clipping articles critical of the director of the bureau," she answered. And she went on to tell me that every field office in the country ran its own clipping service. The articles were sent to Hoover in Washington.48

This is perhaps the most reprehensible invasion of privacy and free speech imaginable in a free society. It appears as though the FBI has a long history of keeping files on citizens for writing letters to editors that are deemed objectionable by the Bureau. There is no reason to believe the Bureau ever stopped the practice of clipping newspaper articles after Hoover died in 1972. In fact, the practice may have been implemented when the Bureau was first created in 1908, years before Hoover became director.

Tier 5—Usenet activity—has only been in place since the Internet became visible to the general public in the early 1990s. After participating on numerous Usenet discussion forums for several years, I have concluded that several intelligence agencies have teams of people who read and post messages to hundreds of political newsgroups and often non-political discussion forums as well. I have also concluded that the FBI is by far the most aggressive and the most omnipresent intelligence organization monitoring the Usenet, a topic of discussion in the next chapter. For now let’s focus on traditional media outlets.

Based solely on Sullivan’s description of the FBI, the Bureau appears to be a highly oppressive regime that has operated with little restraint for nearly one hundred years (since 1908 when it was created). It keeps close tabs on local newspapers throughout America by having people in its 59 field offices read and clip objectionable articles and mail them to headquarters in Washington, DC. The Bureau has backed radio commentators Walter Winchell and probably backs celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno, Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Woodward and countless others. The larger media outlets are controlled by six media conglomerates, all controlled by Jewish owners and executives. As a result, the American news media are tightly controlled. The concept of a free press is long gone. It is a huge, largely monolithic propaganda machine. With such control over the American news media, virtually any illusion can be created; anything is possible.
