Mae Brussell in Santa Cruz

UC Santa Cruz (1987)

Film Review

This video is based mainly on a presentation by assassination researcher Mae Brussell at Santa Cruz university. The main purpose of her 1987 lecture was to demonstrate that most information about illegal and treasonous activities by the US government was publicly available in mainstream books and newspapers.*

Among other “secrets” she reveals in this presentation (along with her sources):

• Naval Intelligence springing Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky from the penitentiary to work for US intelligence during World War II.
• German Nazis making plans to go underground (in South America, US intelligence and private) as early as May 16, 1943, as well as the Luftwaffe making regular fights from Germany to Argentina between 1943 and 1945.
• A Wall Street journal article about the appointment of former Nazi officials to leadership positions in major European corporations.
• Articles from 1987 about the Air Force wanting to upgrade their pilots by requiring them to undergo surgical implantation of brain chips and the Department of Justice spending $4.2 billion to install a phone system enabling to eavesdrop on congressional phone calls.
• A 1960 book on Operation Paperclip** by contributing LA Times editor Annie Jacobsen.
• Numerous articles exposing US involvement in illegal biological warfare research.

Brussell’s lecture is supplemented by interviews with friends who assisted in her research. The filmmaker has also inserted two totally unrelated new clips, one captioned “America Under Attack” from September 11, 2001 and the other a 2002 news clip regarding Morgellon’s Disease.*

Brussell first began researching the Kennedy assassination when the Warren Commission issued its 26-volume report in 1964. She would be the first to identify the so-called “Nazi connection” to the JFK assassination.

She also did extensive research into

• the “underground” network formed by Nazi war criminals after World War II, with many of them emigrating to the South America (where they became involved in fascist dictatorships the US installed under Operation Condor and various illicit drug cartels), as well as the US, where they were given jobs in the Pentagon, intelligence and the aerospace industry.
• into criminal intelligence activities, including the assassinations of many rock stars under Operation Chaos.

Followers worldwide subscribed to cassette tapes of her weekly World Watchers programs carried on KLRB FM in Santa Cruz. These can be ordered in DVD format from the May Brussell website https://maebrussell.com/

She also collaborated with John Judge in publicizing their JFK assassination research prior to her death from breast cancer in 1988. One of Lee Harvey Oswald’s doubles “Don Norton” attended one of their presentations and came back to Brussell’s home for tea. Following his visit, both Judge and Brussell came to agree with Oswald’s mother that the man arrested and shot in the basement of the Dallas jail was one of the doubles.

*Widespread Internet access wasn’t available until 1995.

**Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 Nazi scientists, engineers, and technicians were smuggled into the US following World War II.
