FIRE FROM THE SKY

PART 27:

WHO CREATED THE ATOMIC BOMB?

Boris Pash, head of security for the Manhattan Project, and scientist
Samuel Goudsmit followed the lead tanks into Paris and into Germany,
looking for the German nuclear laboratory, which they found in Strasbourg.
This was called Operation Alsos (Greek for "Groves"). Peter Goodchild in
his book *J. Robert Oppenheimer, Shatterer of Worlds,* p. 110 said: "Very
soon a picture of the Germans' progress began to emerge. They revealed that
Hitler had been told of the possibilities of a nuclear weapon in 1942 and
that there had been a whole series of uranium pile experiments.

But the crucial facts were that even as late as August 1944 the experiments
were still at an early stage. The Germans had neither the certain
information that an explosive chain reaction was possible, nor did they
have the material or the mechanism to make their bomb. It was apparent that
the project had moved forward hardly at all since 1942. There were one or
two people in Washington who, when they read Goudsmit's final report,
suspected that the information had come too easily, but most people
believed it."

It is possible that Germany DID develop the bomb, and the Allies kept it
secret? In *Heisenberg's War,* p. 481, Vannevar Bush is quoted as saying in
June 1949: "The Nazis wanted an atomic bomb; we knew that. They had as good
a chance at it as we had. In the tense years up to 1945 we thought that
they were close competitors, even that they might be six months ahead of
us. Then after Stuttgart fell and the Alsos mission did its work, we found
out. The Nazis had not even reached first base." Surprise, surprise. Or was
it lie, lie?

My best guess, based on the evidence, is that there is a strong possibility
Germany DID develop the atomic bomb! The Americans managed to capture some
of them in early 1945, then on August 6, 1945, dropped one on Hiroshima.
This would account for J. Robert Oppenheimer's curious statement that the
bomb dropped on Hiroshima was made in Germany. Could the Germans have taken
some bombs with them when Hitler escaped? Was the submarine convoy
protected by nuclear weapons, and were they what stopped Operation
Highjump? Perhaps not, that is just conjecture, but I strongly suspect we
got the "bomb" from the Germans.

In *Blowback,* "the first full account of America's recruitment of Nazis,
and its disastrous effect on our domestic and foreign policy" by
Christopher Simpson, he states: "On July 6 [1945] the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(JCS) specifically authorized an effort to 'exploit... chosen, rare minds
whose continuing intellectual productivity we wish to use' under the top
secret project code-named Overcast... At first this was justified on the
grounds that German scientists might be useful in the continuing war
against Japan" (p.33).

When the Allies found the German atomic bomb laboratory, they were amazed
that it was just a small concrete reactor in a cave, too small to go
critical. Yet they went to considerable trouble in a top secret program to
grab these scientists because they might be useful in defeating Japan? What
were they going to do, throw radioactive concrete at the Japanese? Tom
Agoston in *Blunder!* says (p. 38) that "Unknown to Allied scientists, the
Germans had been able to build up a sizeable stockpile of U-235 and had
held up to two tons, as well as two tons of heavy water."

William Stevenson, in *A Man Called Intrepid,* says "The Germans had the
man [Heisenberg] whose theoretical work was the basis of the bomb" (p. 456)
and "In the military field, the view prevailed in 1939 that the country
with the greatest chance of bringing together the pieces was Germany."

Let's see now, the atomic bomb was a German idea, they had the best
scientists, they had a proven ability to develop advanced weapons, they had
plenty of raw material, and yet their "bomb" consisted of nothing more than
some radioactive concrete in a cave in a hill at the base of a church?
(*Heisenberg's War,* p. 421.) The German laboratory was captured on April
21, 1945, then three months later on July 16 a bomb was tested at
Alamogordo, New Mexico. Then on August 6, 1945, one was dropped on
Hiroshima, and August 9 on Nagasaki. This is not counting the nuclear
explosion in the Oakland, California, area, but we are not supposed to know
about that.

Pash and Goudsmit in Operation Alsos captured several tons of uranium and
"it was shipped to Britain and then the United States, transformed into
uranium hexaflouride gas for isotope separation at Oak Ridge, Tennessee,
and finally in the form of U-235 used to destroy Hiroshima." (*Heisenberg's
War,* p. 362.)

Most classified files from World War II have been routinely declassified
under the provisions of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. Tom Agoston
(*Blunder!,* p. 124) said of the Alsos information, "The files continued to
be suppressed and remain under lock and key in Washington, well beyond the
thirty-year rule. The motive for this remains a four-decade mystery."

He also said that the testimony of Albert Speer, referring to General
Kammler, "The transcript continues to be classified beyond the normal
thirty-year rule, and is not expected to be made public before 2020."

Kammler disappeared at the end of the War and it was reported that he
committed suicide (four different versions). If he were dead, why the
secrecy? Kammler was regarded as "the most important man in Germany outside
the Cabinet." The chain of command was Hitler to Himmler to Himmler's
Deputy SS General Karl Wolff to SS General Oswald Pohl to Kammler, and
later the link was more direct.

Dr. Wilhelm Voss told Agoston what happened to Kammler was a "hot matter"
that could not be revealed. Agoston said one of Kammler's close associates
was Rudolph Hess, who flew to Britain on a secret mission in May 1941. "The
secret British file that might explain why he flew to Britain will remain
closed until the year 2020" (p.160).

What clinched the proof for me was when I read in Phoenix Journal #18
(*Blood And Ashes*), speaking of the Manhattan Project, "Of course, they
utilized the German production urn and, actually, the bomb used on Japan
was constructed in Germany" (p. 159). The author of those Journals is "One
Who Knows."

GERMAN SUBMARINES IN SOUTH ATLANTIC

The newspaper *France Soir* had the following account: "Almost 1-1/2 years
after cessation of hostilities in Europe, the Islandic Whaler, "Juliana"
was stopped by a large German U-boat. The Juliana was in the Antarctic
region around Malvinas [now Falkland] Islands when a German submarine
surfaced and raised the German official naval Flag of Mourning - red with a
black edge.

The submarine commander sent out a boarding party, which approached the
Juliana in a rubber dinghy, and having boarded the whaler demanded of Capt.
Hekla part of his fresh food stocks. The request was made in the definite
tone of an order to which resistance would have been unwise. The German
officer spoke a correct English and paid for his provisions in U.S.
dollars, giving the Captain a bonus of $10 for each member of the Juliana
crew. Whilst the food stuffs were being transferred to the submarine, the
submarine commander informed Capt. Hekla of the exact location of a large
school of whales. Later the Juliana found the school of whales where
designated."

The French *Agence France Press* on 25 September 1946, said: "The
continuous rumours about German U-boat activity in the region of Tierra del
Fuego (Feuerland, in German), between the southernmost tip of Latin America
and the continent of Antarctica are based on true happenings."

There have been stories and books written about Germans counterfeiting U.S.
currency and otherwise obtaining American money printing plates, which may
account for the German use of American money.

The Guinness Book of World Records says that the "greatest unsolved
robbery" was the disappearance of the entire German treasury at the end of
the war.

RAND CORPORATION

In January 1946 industrialist Donald Douglas approached the Army Air Force
with a plan for government and industry to work together on long range
strategic planning. This was called Project RAND, a name coined by Arthur
Raymond from Research ANd Development. Much of their first government money
went to the von Braun team. (McDougall, Walter al. ...*the Heavens and the
Earth, A Political History of the Space Age,* Basic Books, New York, 1985,
p. 89.)

LESLIE R. GROVES

Groves is known as the General in charge of the Manhattan Project which
built the Atomic Bomb. He was chosen because he is the one who supervised
the building of the Pentagon, and by 1942 was in charge of all U.S.
military construction everywhere. After the war he went to work for
Remington Rand Corporation.

BORIS PASH

"The stakes in the search for the scientific expertise of Germany were
high. The single most important American strike force, for example, was the
Alsos raiding team, which targeted Axis atomic research, uranium
stockpiles, and nuclear scientists, as well as Nazi chemical and biological
warfare research. The commander of this assignment was U.S. Army Colonel
Boris Pash, who had previously been security chief of the Manhattan Project
- the United States' atomic bomb development program - and who later played
an important role in highly secret U.S. covert action programs.

Pash succeeded brilliantly in his mission, seizing top German scientists
and more than 70,000 tons of Axis uranium ore and radium products. The
uranium taken during these raids was eventually shipped to the United
States and incorporated in U.S. atomic weapons." (Simpson, Christopher,
*Blowback,* Collier Books, New York, 1988, p. 26.)

"Another notable Bloodstone veteran is Boris Pash, a career intelligence
officer identified in the Final Report of the U.S. Senate's 1975-1976
investigation into U.S. intelligence activities as the retired director of
the CIA unit responsible for planning assassinations" (*Blowback,* p. 108).


*Blowback,* p. 152-153 says: "The records of Operation Bloodstone add an
important new piece of information to one of the most explosive public
issues of today: the role of the U.S. government - specifically the CIA -
in assassinations and attempted assassinations of foreign officials.
According to a 1976 Senate investigation, a key official of Operation
Bloodstone is the OPC officer who was specifically delegated responsibility
for planning the agency's assassinations, kidnappings, and similar 'wet
work.'

"Colonel Boris Pash, one of the most extraordinary and least known
characters in American intelligence history... his work for U.S.
intelligence agencies places him in the critical office given the
responsibility for planning postwar assassination operations... Colonel
Pash is one of the few remaining originals of U.S. intelligence, and his
experience in 'fighting the communists' goes back to the 1917 Russian
Revolution.

He was in Moscow and Eastern Europe in those days with his father, a
missionary of Russian extraction, and the young Pash spent much of the
Soviet civil war working on the side of the White armies, then with Czarist
refugees who had fled their country. In the 1920s Pash signed on as a
reserve officer with the U.S. military intelligence service... he... played
a role in the internment of Japanese civilians in California, and was soon
assigned as chief counterintelligence officer on the Manhattan Project, the
supersecret U.S. effort to develop the atomic bomb. (More than a decade
later it was Colonel Pash's testimony that helped seal the fate of
scientist Robert Oppenheimer in the well-known 1954 security case.)

Before the war was out, it will be recalled, Colonel Pash led the series of
celebrated special operations known as the Alsos Mission that were designed
to capture the best atomic and chemical warfare experts that the Nazis had
to offer.

"After the war Colonel Pash served as the army's representative on
Bloodstone in the spring of 1948, when the tasks of that project, including
recruiting defectors, smuggling refugees out from behind the Iron Curtain,
and assassinations, were established. Bloodstone's 'special operations,' as
defined by the Pentagon, could 'include clandestine warfare, subversion,
sabotage and... assassination,' according to the 1948 Joint Chiefs of Staff
records. In March 1949, Pash was assigned by the army to the OPC division
of the CIA... His five-man CIA unit, known as PB/7, was given a written
charter that read in part that 'PB/7 will be responsible for
assassinations, kidnapping, and such other functions as from time to time
may be given it... by higher authority.'"

From *Dulles* by Leonard Mosley (A Biography of Eleanor, Allen and John
Foster. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1978.), we find, p. 459: "But now he
[Allen Dulles] was interested in the more sinister Agency experiments in
mind-bending drugs, portable phials of lethal viruses, and esoteric poisons
that killed without trace. Allen's sense of humor was touched when he
learned that the unit working on these noxious enterprises was called the
*Health Alteration Committee* (directed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb and Boris
Pash)... Richard Bissell... had now succeeded Frank Wisner as deputy
director of Plans..."

To learn more about the mind-control and torture experiments of Pash and
Gottlieb, read *Journey Into Madness: The True Story of Secret CIA Mind
Control and Medical Abuse* by Gordon Thomas (Bantam Books, New York, 1989).


One of the people they killed was Frank Olson (a CIA germ warfare doctor
whose specialty was anthrax), while they were working on Subproject-68,
also known as MK-ULTRA. MK-ULTRA started as *Project Bluebird,* set up on
April 20, 1950, by CIA Director Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter (who later was
a member of NICAP), and on July 20, 1950, they began using sodium amytal,
Benzedrine and other drugs to "brainwash" prisoners.

In September 1950, the *Miami News* published an article under the headline
BRAIN WASHING TACTICS which was considered the first formal use of the
term. One of Gottlieb's partners was Dr. Harold Wolff, who appears to be a
Paperclip doctor. He worked with Parke-Davis and "...remained closely
connected with the M-K Ultra brainwashing project" (p. 191). He helped set
up an apartment and introduce LSD to the hippies in San Francisco, and
worked on Project Mindbender (a Manchurian-Candidate type operation) with
William Buckley.

Isn't it interesting that so many of the participants in the most secret of
secrets of World War II are still very involved in the Kennedy
assassination and other more current affairs. Many books and articles have
been written about the CIA being involved in the JFK assassination, and now
you know that the man in charge of CIA assassinations was Boris Pash,
formerly chief of security for the Manhattan Project. He was also head of
the group trying to capture Hitler's advanced technology, including "flying
saucers" and other secrets.

The book *ZR Rifle - The Plot To Kill Kennedy And Castro* by Claudia
Furiati, p. 36, says that a man named William Harvey had been in charge of
the CIA post in West Berlin until 1960, then was placed in charge of CIA
assassinations by Richard Bissell in 1961. The plans to assassinate
political leaders was code-named *ZR-RIFLE,* headed by Harvey. Bo Gritz
said on p. 525 of his book: "The Kennedy assassination was code-named
'ZR-RIFLE'." It seems apparent to me that Harvey and Pash were wearing the
same pair of pants.

In 1941, Ian Fleming, the future creator of the "James Bond" stories, and
at that time a high ranking officer of British Intelligence, suggested to
William Donovan that he set up a specially trained and selected
assassination unit. PB/7 (Pash Boris Seven) was the original of the "Agent
007" concept. If my memory is correct, I believe Nixon stated that William
Harvey was the real 007.

I assume Pash was Agent 001, or perhaps he had seven agents working for him
(originally five). If you want to understand more of how these various
factions such as CIA, KGB, Nazis, Communists, FBI, etc., can be fighting
each other and working together at the same time, you need to understand
who was above them, controlling them. To understand that, look to British
Intelligence! You will find British Intelligence to be an operation of
British and European Royalty and "Aristocracy"!

E. Howard Hunt, while in prison in December, 1975, in an interview with the
*New York Times,* said that the head of the CIA assassination unit was
Boris Pash. Pash was assigned to Angleton at this time (see *Final
Judgment,* p. 207). Angleton was head of the Israel desk of the CIA and was
very pro-Israel. He was also closely involved with Meyer Lansky.

In *Cold Warrior,* the biography of James Jesus Angleton by Tom Mangold, he
says on page 362: "I would like to place on the record, however, that
Angleton's closest professional friends overseas, then and subsequently,
came from the Mossad (the Israeli intelligence-gathering service) and that
he was held in immense esteem by his Israeli colleagues and by the state of
Israel, which was to award him profound honors after his death." His place
was taken after his death by William Colby. When Kissinger wanted to "get
LaRouche," he turned to Angleton for help. Angleton's tombstone is in
Hebrew.

On page 97 of *Final Judgment,* Piper says that "The ZR/Rifle Team, in
fact, was one of Angleton's pet in-house CIA projects, which he ran in
conjunction with his CIA colleague, William Harvey."

According to Claudia Furiati, Joseph Schreider was in charge of the CIA
laboratories and of developing poisons for assassinations, and says that
Harvey was in charge of political assassinations, working out of the Miami
office run by [Paperclip] Shackley, and was working with Schreider to try
to poison Castro. Above we have Boris Pash and Sidney Gottlieb working
together in the same manner. We have Pash and Harvey in the same locations,
doing the same jobs, in charge of the same projects - talk about
featherbedding. I believe that Harvey was actually at headquarters in
Langley, over Shackley in Miami.

*Blowback,* p. 153, says that Pash "...served as the Army's representative
on Bloodstone in the spring of 1948, when the tasks of that project,
including recruiting defectors, smuggling refugees out from behind the Iron
Curtain, and assassinations, were established. In March 1949, Pash was
assigned by the Army to the OPC division of the CIA."

Harvey died June 6, 1976, according to Dick Russell, and Pash was in his
80s in 1988 according to Simpson.
