Browder was the General Secretary of the CPUSA during the 1930s and first half of the 1940s. During World War I, Browder served time in federal prison as a conscientious objector to conscription and the war. Upon his release, Browder became an active member of the American Communist movement, soon working as an organizer on behalf of the Communist International and its Red International of Labor Unions in China and the Pacific region. He joined the Socialist Party of America in 1907 and became head of CPUSA Agitation and Propaganda in October 1929, precisely when the 1929 stock market crashed.

View full-sizeDownload Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was an American painter and illustrator. His works have a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of the country's culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over nearly five decades.Among the best-known of Rockwell's works are the Willie Gillis series, Rosie the Riveter, The Problem We All Live With, Saying Grace, and the Four Freedoms series. He is also noted for his 64-year relationship with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), during which he produced covers for their publication Boys' Life (now Scout Life), calendars, and other illustrations. These works include popular images that reflect the Scout Oath and Scout Law such as The Scoutmaster, A Scout Is Reverent, and A Guiding Hand.
That would be around 1950, since he was transferred there for the start of the Korean War.
Rockwell was set to retire in 1961, and we are told the Navy finally figured out what he was up to in 1960, discharging him in a widely and loudly reported affair that curiously Rockwell publicized even more than the Navy.
However, it was still an honorable discharge, you know.
For more laughs, we are told Rockwell studied art at Pratt in 1946.
Note the date.
He allegedly quit Pratt just a few months before graduation, moving to Maine to start his own advertising agency.
The Korean War intervened, and he was recalled to service.
But in 1955, he thought of a way to combine his two careers.
He started a military magazine for servicemen's wives called US Lady.
I am not making this up.
As the editor, Rockwell was able to include his opposition to Communism as well as his opposition to racial integration.
Since this was a military magazine, the military had to sign off on this project, including its editorial content.
Apparently, they were fine with Rockwell's fake Nazi politics at that time.
But let's cut to the chase.
In 1967, Rockwell was allegedly assassinated by one of his own Nazis.
The man, John Patler, allegedly served eight years in prison.
I hope you got the number there.
Patler was a Marine.
Rockwell was allegedly leaving a laundromat.
Right.
This guy from a wealthy family was doing his laundry at a laundromat.
To add to the hilarity, the military approved a military burial at Culpeper National Cemetery and allowed the fake Nazis to show up.
An obviously planned and scripted melee ensued, in which the hearse was “accidentally” struck by a train.
Rockwell was of course cremated.
The same analysis applies to the man who took Rockwell's place at the ANP, Matt Koehl.

He joined the party in 1960 following membership in various White supremacist groups, and succeeded to leadership following the assassination of the founder of the party, George Lincoln Rockwell, in 1967. Koehl attempted to consolidate power by removing his opposition from the party, which failed as many members of the group were either removed or left, often forming split-off opposition groups. After gaining power, Koehl reworked the organization to be more openly occult and religious, influenced by the Greek–French writer Savitri Devi, as he renamed the group the New Order. The New Order promoted occult veneration of Adolf Hitler, with Koehl revealing little personal information to members, who were low in number but sturdy. Koehl died in 2014, at the age of 79, and was succeeded by Martin Kerr.
Another Jewish name.
It is a variant spelling of Köhl, which is then simplified to Kohl in the US.

View full-sizeDownload John Stewart Service (August 3, 1909 – February 3, 1999) was an American diplomat who served in the Foreign Service in China prior to and during World War II. Considered one of the State Department's "China Hands," he was an important member of the Dixie Mission to Yan'an. Service correctly predicted that the Communists would defeat the Nationalists in a civil war. He and other diplomats were blamed for the "loss" of China in the domestic political turmoil after the 1949 Communist triumph in China. In June 1945, Service was arrested in the Amerasia Affair in 1945. The prosecution sought an indictment for espionage, but a federal grand jury unanimously declined to indict him. In 1950 U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy launched an attack against Service, which led to investigations of the reports that Service had written while he was stationed in China. Numerous loyalty boards cleared Service, but a final one suggested there was "reasonable doubt" as to his loyalty. That opinion forced Secretary of State Dean Acheson to fire Service. In 1957, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered his reinstatement in a unanimous decision and found that Acheson's action had been illegal because "it violated Regulations of the Department of State which were binding on the Secretary."
The YMCA was used as an Intel front, sort of like the various aid groups are now.
Service went to Berkeley High School, red flag.
He passed the Foreign Service Exam in 1933, red flag.
In 1943 he joined the Army Observation Group known as the Dixie Mission.
This was part of Army Intelligence, so Service was also a spy.
This is confirmed again by his role in the fake HUAC hearings of Joseph McCarthy, when Service was accused of Communist ties.
As we have seen in previous papers, the Committee was an arm of Intelligence, and it only accused its own agents of Communism and spying, to control the event.
It was started by Walter Lippmann and other admitted spooks.
Beyond that, Frances Stonor Saunders has outed all these magazines and their editors as CIA assets, especially in the post-War period, and especially when they were involved in the Arts—as at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
Remember, mainstream media sources have been admitting for decades that the CIA took control of painting after the War, allegedly as part of a Cold War project to make the Soviets look bad.
The ICA was part of that project.
Curiously, Wikipedia has pages for:
the ICA in London
the ICA in Singapore
the ICA in Perth
and the ICA in San Francisco, but no page for the ICA, DC.
We have to go the Smithsonian to find this page, which tells that, starting in 1948, the ICA brought in many artists in many disciplines to lecture and demonstrate.
Realizing he couldn't paint for sour apples, Richter began making films, claiming they were the first abstract films.
They weren't, but they were just as sour as his paintings, being unwatchable.
Which is why Robert Richman was sure to invite him to the ICA.
The ICA promoted no classicists or traditionalists.
To find out why they promoted what they did, and who, you will have to read those previous papers—I will not hit it all again here.
Since the ICA was a CIA project, it is somewhat suspicious to find Mullins coming right out of the Air Force to study there and then later work there, isn't it?
But let us back up a bit.
Strange that we can find nothing on Mullins other than his parents.
No genealogies listed.
He is a ghost.
But since he came out of the Air Force, we have to ask if he was related to General James Mullins, who started out in the Air Force in the same years as Eustace.

This James Mullins became a 4-star general, which is as high as you can go in the Air Force.
He was head of the Air Force Logistics Command in the 1980s.
His bio is also scrubbed.
His parents aren't listed, and I could find no information.
Well, how far back do the Mullins go?
All the way back.
Remember Priscilla Alden, wife of John Alden and apple of Miles Standish's eye?
Her maiden name was Mullins.
Also interesting to discover Mullins' dad was in retail clothing.
I suspect Mullins was Jewish himself, misdirecting the opposition in the same way David Irving is doing.
I searched on his mother, and the name Jane Katherine Muse, but got nowhere.
However, we do find a Katherine Muse of the same generation as his mother [d. 1974] whose ancestry is given back to the 1600s.
Her family of Muses is also from Virginia, like Eustace, so we may have something.
If we go back as far as we can, we find a John Muse married to a Catherine Moss Talbot; so, this John Muse may have used his wife's middle name to make up his name—changing Moss to Muse.
Of course, Moss is a common Jewish name, derived from Moses.
I had already been thinking these Muses might have originally been Mosses, for reasons not hard to imagine.
When I easily found this confirmation of it, I took it as a palpable hit.
She was born a Champion and is now married to the richest man in Tennessee—not far from where Eustace was born.

She got her start as a Vorticist painter, which means she was an early fake artist.
It was a spin-off of the fake cubism, and no real painting was involved.

This was another Hollywood or CIA marriage of convenience.

We are told she was overshadowed by Pound, but that is only because she was not so high in the agent hierarchy.
They probably held it against her that she could actually play an instrument.
Dorothy Shakespear's mother was the famous novelist Olivia Shakespear, who was born Olivia Tucker.

She wrote six books that are described as "marriage problem" novels. Her works sold poorly, sometimes only a few hundred copies. Her last novel, Uncle Hilary, is considered her magnum opus. She wrote two plays in collaboration with Florence Farr.
Remember that name from the Muse genealogy?
Sallie Augusta Tucker.
We find Sallie was a DAR member, but nothing else.
Was she related to Olivia Tucker?
Well, Olivia's father is given as Maj. General Henry Tod Tucker, but his line is scrubbed before that.
However, at Google Books, Olivia's mother is given as Harriet-Maria Johnson, daughter of Sir Henry-Allen Johnson, M.A., third Baronet, tutor and aide-de-camp to the Prince of Orange.
So, that is worth knowing.
As for General Tucker, his family was from Scotland, but I traced his uncles to Bermuda, so they were on their way to the US.
At least one of them made it, because they are related to Thomas Tudor Tucker, Treasurer of the US [1801-1828; important period at the Treasury—same time Albert Gallatin was Secretary of Treasury— see below].
I couldn't link him to the Muse line directly, but a Thomas Tudor Tucker [b. 1782] of the same period was the son of Frances Randolph, of the famous Virginia Randolphs.
If we then switch to Ancestry.co.uk, we find that a Harriet Booth married a Benjamin Booth, and they had a daughter named Harriet.
So, it was a family name, at the least.
The two Benjamin Booths don't appear to match, one being the son of John and Elizabeth, and the other being the son of Jonathen and Mary, but both come from Eastern England in the same period, so I suspect both were descendants of Ricardo Botha, Esq., who changed his name to Richard Booth in about 1700.
In fact, it could be the same John and the same Benjamin, John having two wives and Benjamin being assigned to the wrong mother in one place or the other.
In any case, it is a good starting point for anyone who wishes to take this further.
And remember, the living descendants of the Booths are now admitting they are Jewish, and this is not too surprising seeing that John Wilkes Booth's great uncle was named Israel.
Other sites claim he was arrested in 1955 for sodomy, but I could find no confirmation of that.
His FBI file has been partially declassified, and there he is categorized as a homosexual.
However, this could be and probably is just part of his later blackwashing.
In support of that, we find marginal notation in this report by Hoover himself (also gay), saying
“I don't understand why Pyne gives exposure to such jackals.”
This is more theater, of course.
Pyne was Joe Pyne, who had a program on KTTV Los Angeles.

View full-sizeDownload Joe Pyne (December 22, 1924 – March 23, 1970) was an American radio and television talk show host, who pioneered the confrontational style in which the host advocates a viewpoint and argues with guests and audience members. He was an influence on other major talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Morton Downey Jr., Bob Grant, and Michael Savage.
He had interviewed Mullins.
Clearly, Pyne was promoting Mullins because he was hired to do so.
It was all part of the project.
This “declassified FBI file” is also part of the project.
They want us to think the FBI didn't support the Mullins project, but if the government hadn't supported the project, they could have shut it down.
Then as now, they were in control of programming in Los Angeles and everywhere else.
If something was on TV, it was because they wanted it on TV.
Independent programming has always been a myth.
Which is why Mullins has a mugshot on Wiki now, with no mention of it in the text.
It is there only to blackwash him.
But notice I am not defending him.
If he were alive, he would have no problem with it.
He was part of the project, and he blackwashed himself for decades.
Curiously, the project was only a partial success.
Yes, I suppose many people did give up all the early information on the Jews and so on once they became aware later of the Hitler promotion, the Nazi connections, and the connections to Satanism.
However, I have found that a lot of people did not.
A majority of people I have run across who like Mullins have selectively edited his bio and writings, taking what they like and ignoring the rest.
That is to say, they accept the early information on the Federal Reserve, Jewish control of media, and so on—because it makes sense—but completely ignore or jettison the later stuff about Hitler—because it doesn't.
This was always the danger of such projects: people would buy the early truth telling, but not buy the later blackwashing.
If they did that, the project would backfire, and I would say it has backfired to a large degree.
The CIA seems to like to out its own projects and then spin the revelations.
This creates another level of confusion with many people.
However, it would seem counter-productive in many cases, especially if the later spin fails.
For instance, if people accept Mullins' outing of the Federal Reserve but not his later blackwashing, they are left with information they didn't need to be given in the first place.
The CIA could just have easily not admitted anything about the Federal Reserve.
Even if they spin you on the Federal Reserve, they have still started you down a path.
If you despin their misdirection, you may end up discovering things they wish you hadn't.
I said the same thing about Frances Stonor Saunders' outing of the CIA's Cold War art project, which was outed and then spun positive.
However, it would have seemed more politic not to out it at all.
The only thing I could figure was that the project had already been outed by others, so they felt the best they could do is take control of the outing.
Possibly this was also true of the Federal Reserve, which had been outed before Pound and Mullins came along.
With Pound and Mullins, we are seeing the CIA take control of the outing, so that they can spin it as they wish.
This would indicate that both men (and others) are likely misdirecting even as they appear to tell you dangerous truths.
From what we have learned, we would expect them to admit to truths that had already been outed, perhaps even throwing some minor characters to the wolves, while at the same time continuing to protect the top players.
Therefore, when Mullins names names, we can be pretty sure these people—although probably guilty —are second-tier crooks at best.
He allows himself to be spun as part of this horrible whitewash of Jackson.
In fact, the alternate media now follows the plan of this whitewash, selling Jackson as an enemy of the Jewish bankers.
He wasn't.
History has been flipped.
I have shown the Jacksons were probably crypto-Jews themselves, being linked by marriage to many of these families.
The bank that Jackson destroyed was the Bank of the US, not the Federal Reserve— which didn't exist at that time.
Once the BUS was destroyed, it could be replaced by private banking.
It was these banks, pushed by wealthy Jews, that became the “National” banks for the rest of the 19th century.
I have seen only one place unflipping this history, and that is Larouche's EIR.
However, those guys—despite posting some extended research that is true at most points—nonetheless fail to include the most salient points and central characters.
Likewise, a search on Jew or Jewish comes up with nothing.
Seeing that the author's last name is Kirsch, that isn't surprising.
Anton Chaitkin's articles also direct you away from Astor, and Chaitkin also appears to be Jewish.
His father worked for the American Jewish Congress and his sister was Marianna Wertz.
His major article from 2007 on Jackson has 9 mentions of Astor, to 49 mentions of Van Buren.
This despite the fact that Astor was the richest man in the US at that time and one of the richest in the world.
He owned large parts of Manhattan and was responsible for 1 percent of the entire GNP.
Burr founded the Manhattan Bank in 1799 but Astor soon bought it from him, and it was this bank that Astor hoped to replace the BUS with, so much so that he renamed it The National Bank.
Since it later became Chase Manhattan, we see that not only did he succeed, but he is also still succeeding 168 years after his death.
It was to accommodate Astor that Jackson destroyed the BUS, so most of the extended commentary at EIR is more misdirection.
In this line, did you know Johann Jakob Astor's wife was Sarah Todd?
Yes, that is the same Todd family that Abraham Lincoln married into.
So, Lincoln was related to Astor not by blood, but by marriage.
Astor's grandmother was a Freund, and his mother was a Vorfelder or Vorster.
Vorfelder is Dutch, not German.
Astor's father also married a Seibold.
The Astor line isn't German either:

He was inspired upon seeing the American flag still flying over the fort at dawn and wrote the poem "Defense of Fort McHenry"; it was published within a week with the suggested tune of the popular song "To Anacreon in Heaven". The song with Key's lyrics became known as "The Star-Spangled Banner" and slowly gained in popularity as an unofficial anthem, finally achieving official status as the national anthem more than a century later under President Herbert Hoover.

View full-sizeDownload Roger Brooke Taney (/ˈtɔːni/; March 17, 1777 – October 12, 1864) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the fifth chief justice of the United States, holding that office from 1836 until his death in 1864. Taney infamously delivered the majority opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), ruling that African Americans could not be considered U.S. citizens and that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the U.S. territories. Prior to joining the U.S. Supreme Court, Taney served as the U.S. attorney general and U.S. secretary of the treasury under President Andrew Jackson. He was the first Catholic to serve on the Supreme Court.
Sickles found out about the affair, and, after convincing Teresa to compose a handwritten confession, he allegedly murdered Key.
The loss of these fields and many others—sacrificed on the altar of short-term profit or other shallow scheming—is an immeasurable tragedy.
And we have to remember that even if no one was murdered, many have killed themselves from sheer desperation at having to live in a world depleted of opportunity.
Anyone of us can confirm this psychological trauma just by looking around—or looking within.
