As longtime readers of this blog are no doubt well aware by now, Recluse is quite obsessed with the mysterious network of self-styled chivalric orders commonly referred to as the Sovereign Order of Saint John (SOSJ). Virtually all of these orders in turn trace back to one particular outfit, long based out of Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. This group claimed to be the legitimate Knights of Malta, via the Russian line of succession, with the "official" Sovereign Military Order of Malta group being the impostor.
Whatever the case, by the 1960s it emerged with a roster top heavy with former military and intelligence officers, and extensive ties to the far right paramilitary underground. Bizarrely enough, it also featured an abundance of cult connections as well. One of the most blood-stained were those with Christian Identity "theology," which were explored before here. However, they also possessed even stranger links to various metaphysical circles, ranging from UFO contactees, ceremonial magicians, and even one known, self-described "orgone specialist." These connections and more will soon be explored in a forth coming work by your's truly.
Today, however, I would like to shine a light on a book that got me started on this mysterious journey. It's called J.F.K. -The Final Solution by the great John Bevilaqua. John has been on the trial of the Kennedy assassins for sometime and he has come to believe that the SOSJ was instrumental.
Recently I was able to sit down for a chat with John on The Farm. In order to introduce everybody to the vast body of John's research, I thought a good starting point may be The Manchurian Candidate, both the Richard Condon novel and the 1962 film version. Have you ever wondered, for instance, why Condon selected Manchuria of all places for the title and such a crucial plot point? Well, here you'll find out about all the strange groups and characters active there in the aftermath of the First World War and beyond. One of them is the future Nazi and Ufologist William Dudley Pelley, whom you're going to be hearing a lot more about in the coming weeks here.
But this is only scratching the surface. Bevilaqua also covers such notorious and little known figures as Count Anastasy Vonsiatsky and Colonel Wickliffe Preston Draper; his own "twilight language"-esque approach to both Condon's work and a far right code system; and even a bizarre connection to the legendary Illuminatus! Trilogy. Be sure to check this one out guys, it's a good one.
It can be found here or on the sidebar.
John also provided some addition thoughts here that I'm reprinting now for context:
"The significance of Hunt and Rockwell attending Brown while Vonsiatsky still attended football games is that Annie and/or Draper probably recruited him and paid him to start the ANP. And Hunt named his son St. John after Vonsiatsky's Order of St. John."
"It is also important to note that the Rev Gerald L K Smith was not only part of The Winnipeg Airport Incident but he knew both William Dudley Pelley from their mutual Silver Shirts work during World War II and Father Charles Coughlin when they were both part of the Demagogues of the Depression in the 1930's and the early 1940's. And Anastase Vonsiatsky also attended the Winnipeg Airport Incident meeting as well and probably flew to Wichita, KS the home of Koch Family Empire where they were expecting to be paid off for the murder of JFK. Edwin Walker's grandfather gave the Koch family their financial start in America. His last name was deGanahl and Charles deGanahl Koch was given his name as his middle name as a symbol of thanks. Walker, Willoughby, Gale and Fellers were ALL working for Douglas MacArthur during the Korean War and even after that as private citizens. And Walker, Fellers and Willoughby through MacArthur were all implicated by Condon in Man Cand anagrams or key words. Fighting Francis Bollinger is an anagram for Bonner Fellers. Fellers was stationed in Cairo during World War II and was given Montgomery's tank movements as part of a scheme to undermine his efforts at evading the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel who was not really a Fox at all. Fellers forwarded these proposed tank movements to James Angleton in Rome where he was stationed and he in turn sent these messages to Erwin Rommel.
"Mark Schulman Did not know that. S&C's early work with mergers between Boston Fruit and United Fruit bears that out. I thought they just did the legal work on that deal. Looks like they did both ends of the deal now. When did the Dulles Brothers join the firm? Other heads of the OSJ over time included Frank Capell, Revilo Oliver's pal, Charles Thurout Pichel, Hitler's American contact, John B. Trevor, Draper's Pioneer Fund crony and some M.D. from Florida. Vonsiatsky was also the international leader of the SMOSJ. Col. Philip J. Corso, OSJ a UFO nut working for Strom Thurmond was knighted into OSJ for running the Nazi Rat Lines from the Vatican for the eventual Pope Paul VI through Grace Steamship Lines of Peter Grace, OSJ. Angleton and Colby were also OSJ Knights. Spoiler Alert: Angleton was revered by the Israelis for saving Judaism from the evil Arabs AND for saving the R.C. Church from the Commies by siding with the Nazis at one point. Very versatile and accommodating guy. Angleton may also have helped the Israelis with their Dimona Nuclear Reactor secret program by removing any obstacles or blockers to that program. Hint, hint. Samuel Zemurray's agents from United Fruit funded Homer Echevarria's plots against JFK by his own admission IMHO."As always guys, I hope everyone enjoys. Best to all in these troubled times and as always, stay tuned till next time.
I listened to the podcast which i found very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for your guest. Please ask John Bevilaqua about the connection between Wickliffe Draper and Vonsiatsky. I am wondering about the exact link. What is the evidence for their association? Is there a direct connection or is this more a matter of overlapping networks of affiliation. Also, is there a source for Vonsiatsky's membership in SOSJ?
The Draper to Vonsiatsky connection started in 1924 with their efforts against Union organizers and Mussolini haters Sacco and Vanzetti who were eventually electrocuted. The pair was featured as Big Daddy Warbucks and Little Orphan Annie in Col Robert McCormick's Chicago Tribune comic strip. They lived only 20 miles apart in New England for decades. Later Richard Condon immortalized them in The Manchurian Candidate to boot. Vonsiatsky and deMohrenchildt and Wm. Dudley Pelley lived in Harbin, Manchuria during their diaspora from Russia. Much more in JFK THE FINAL SOLUTION on Amazon and Kindle.

DeleteRead The Russian Fascists by John Stephan for more on Vonsiatsky as well and Google both Draper and Vonsiatsky independently and collectively for more than 1,000 references.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the John Stephan reference. It's very informative. Where can I find out more about Vonsiatsky's strikebreaking activities? I tried googling the topic, but I only found mention of his offer of tear gas to the CT police to aid in quelling labor unrest.
DeleteI thought The Russian Fascists had more on his strike breaking activity for The Draper Company or his clients. Sacco and Vanzetti were labor organizers, Mussolini haters and they were shanghaied to electrocution after they made the mistake of forming Unions against the Draper Company and probably for the bombing of Mussolini HQ in Boston. There was a Philadelphia Railroad Engine manufacturer who Vonsiatsky worked for as a spy and strike breaker too. Name of (Samuel??) Bowers maybe. Then he moved to New England at the 19th hole in Putnam and Thompson, CT only 20 miles from Draper in Hopedale, MA.

DeleteBaldwin Locomotive not Bowers... sorry. For Vonsiatsky. See if Baldwin is in The Russian Fascists.
Here is a great article on The Christian Defense League, Rev Gerald Smith, Wm Gale and Joe Milteer. http://www.cuban-exile.com/doc_026-050/doc0046.html
ReplyDeleteAnd, where are these groups now? Didn't these groups raise children who were seen as the future torch bearers?
ReplyDeleteAnd look at our country now: is this a product of the radical right wing (NWO, UN Agendas) or did some signals get crossed? Seems as though Commie subversion and Zionist control of The US Gov is obvious...so...these American Firsters failed miserably?
Vonsiatsky worked as a spy and strike breaker at this site:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works
ReplyDeleteHis boss was Samuel Vauclain in fact. Samuel Vauclain wanted to use these funds to expand Baldwin's capacities so it would be prepared for another boom.[17] While other Baldwin officers opposed this expansion, Vauclain's vision won out; Baldwin would continue to expand its Eddystone plant until its completion in 1928.[17] By 1928, the company moved all locomotive production to this location, though the plant would never exceed more than one-third of its production capacity.[22]
ReplyDelete"I have got 25,000 men working for me in a little foundry back east. I'd like to see any union labor leader start something among them. Why, when the railroad strike was starting, a bunch of labor delegates came around to the plant. In twenty minutes I had every damned one of them in jail. I was told I had no right to put them in jail. I said: 'But they are in jail,aren't they? Now go and get them Qut.' You've got to act quick when you are facing a crisis."-From address by Samuel M. Vauclain, President of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, before New Orleans Association of Commerce, April 12, 1923.

ReplyDeleteSamuel Vauclain was Vonsiatsky's first employer. He was even more anti-Union than Donald tRump, the assborer. And Wickliffe Draper, the majority owner of The Draper Company, actually shanghaied and convicted both Sacco and Vanzetti for organizing strikes and unions against his company as well as against any of his more than 100 customers in New England who used Draper Textile Looms to weave cotton and wool into fabrics used for both civilian and military purposes with the emphasis, during times of war, on the military usage. That is why he was called Big Daddy Warbucks in fact. Draper Company profits soared during times of war. The Draper Company was one of the biggest DoD contractors and providers in the history of the world. That is why Rockwell Intl. bought them out even though they were a floundering and failing company in 1967 for $100,000,000 in Pfd Stock paying 4.00% tax free interest to any corporate owners. 5 years later by 1972 The Draper Company was shuttered and abandoned by Rockwell Intl proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that this was a political payback for snuffing JFK in 1963. This is the ONLY $100 MILLION dollar kickback and payoff involved in the JFK Assassination ever discovered and yet people insist that this fact is somehow irrelevant and fabricated. Dimboes and dweebs are the source of this denial of facts.

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else have a handle on this guy, Morris Schapiro? Apparently his specialty as an Investment Banker heading up his own private firm was to step in whenever
ReplyDeletea company which produced products vital to National Security interests as determined by the powers that be, fell into financial difficulty and were threatened with bankruptcy
or insolvency or outright foreclosure and asset liquidation or distribution.
He was from Lithuania, was strongly anti-Communist, was a Chess Master and always managed to hire fellow anti-Soviets some of whom were ex-Czarists. J. Howard
Pew from Sun Shipbuilding and Sun Oil plus that guy Samuel Vauclain from Baldwin Locomotive shared this same predilection. Vauclain gave Vonsiatsky his first job when he
arrived here after the Russian Revolution. This Philadelphia area trio was so anti-Union and anti-Communist that they would do almost anything to prevent strikes from interrupting their business operations including hiring strike-busting goons like Anastase Vonsiatsky from Putnam/Killingly Connecticut, the associate of Wickliffe Draper from nearby Hopedale, MA.
Schapiro, Linnenbank and McGuinness were all from Baltimore and worked with Ulius Amoss apparently, according to a well respected poster on this site, and a few little known CIA bagmen who funneled cash to various parts of the globe to protect vital U.S. interests whenever outright wars could not be started to intervene wherever necessary. Amoss died in 1961 but his part of the operation was taken over by Ray S. Cline of the CIA and later head of The World Anti-Communist League. Clendenin J. Ryan was a big money provider whenever other clandestine or legitimate money sources could not be found for various critical anti-Communist projects. Ryan's son was the
roommate of Doug Caddy at Georgetown, who helped start YAF with William F. Buckley, Jr.
By 1963, JFK himself became generally perceived as a threat to National Security and these unique proprietaries mustered their forces to eliminate that threat. While Schapiro, McGuiness and Linnenbank were not necessarily anti-Kennedy, anarchistic or non-Patriotic, they apparently permitted their money laundering vehicles, and their bagmen to organize and fund the murder of JFK. It is also possible that the people who carried out the funding and the organizing of the assassination of JFK were rogues and renegades acting on their own with a profit motive, utilizing all the mechanisms put into place by people like Clendenin Ryan, Uliuss Amoss, Ray S. Cline and Morris Schapiro and his associates. At this time I am unable to determine conclusively whether they were all card carrying CIA agents and/or Army Intel types with Soc Sec Numbers from Washington, DC or if they were just money seeking opportunists who had access to The Bank of Maryland and the money laundered through Baldt Anchor and Chain and The Baltimore Metals Processing Company. Robert Maxwell from the Bank of Maryland confirmed for me that this is exactly the same method used to fund the Iran-Contra operations and the procurement of arms and munitions. The same companies, the same people and the same methodologies.
Any input on Messrs. Schapiro, Linnenbank and McGuiness would be greatly appreciated. Is it about time that someone asks their Congressmen to close these loopholes
forever and eliminate this funds flow as a source of strategic but highly illegal and immoral foreign policy enforcement?
