Adolfo Calero Portocarrero was a [[Nicaragua|Nicaraguan]] businessman who led the political side of the [[FDN]], the largest [[Contras|Contra]] organization, during the war against the [[Sandinistas]]. The congressional [[Iran-Contra Affair|Iran-Contra]] Committees describe him as an accountant and businessman active in the movement against [[Anastasio Somoza]], who after the 1979 revolution became political coordinator of the Conservative Democratic Party, became an outspoken critic of the Sandinista government and joined the resistance after his office and home were attacked and he was forced into exile.[^1] He had attended the [[University of Notre Dame]] and headed the [[Coca-Cola]] bottling company in [[Managua]], and the [[Associated Press]] reported that he met Sandinista leaders in 1978 to look for common cause against Somoza.[^2] The New York Times editors' cast of characters to the Committees' report describes him as "North's chief contact with the rebels during the two-year ban on U.S. military aid" and as the Contra with "primary responsibility for distributing most private funds received by the Contras."[^3]
The writer [[Gary Webb]] described Calero as a longtime [[Central Intelligence Agency]] agent selected by the CIA in 1983 to lead the political wing of the FDN, and quoted the former FDN director [[Edgar Chamorro]]: "Calero and Bermúdez were our main links with the CIA. They met constantly with the CIA station chief."[^4] Webb wrote that Calero led the political side while [[Enrique Bermudez]] commanded the military side and [[Aristides Sanchez]] managed supplies and logistics; that [[Oliver North]] called Sánchez "Calero's hatchet man"; and that [[Manuel Porro]], arrested in a [[DEA]] operation with associates of [[Norwin Meneses]] and later a commander of the [[Legion of September 15]], became a top aide to Calero and handled some of his Caribbean banking.[^4] Webb is the sole source for the passages so cited.

@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ North's notebook for July 12, 1985, released through a [[National Security Archi
The [[Kerry Committee]]'s report states that the FDN's chief supply officer was Adolfo Calero's brother [[Mario Calero]], and that under a commercial agreement with the pilot [[Frank Moss]], Mario Calero was to receive an ownership interest in Moss's company [[Hondu Carib]], which flew weapons purchased from R.M. Equipment (the firm controlled by Martin and McCoy); Moss, the report says, had been investigated but never indicted for narcotics offenses by ten law enforcement agencies. [[SETCO]], the Honduran company that carried at least a million rounds of ammunition and other FDN supplies from 1983 to 1985, received funds, according to the testimony of Adolfo Calero to the Iran-Contra committees, from the Contra accounts established by North; U.S. law enforcement records, the report says, state that SETCO was established by [[Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros]]. The report also states that at North's direction Calero paid $10,000 a month to the Costa Rican rancher [[John Hull]] who helped the CIA with Contra supply operations.[^15] North's notebook for August 9, 1985 summarizes a meeting with Owen about a plane used by Mario Calero to transport supplies from [[New Orleans]] to Honduras: "Honduran DC-6 which is being used for runs out of New Orleans is probably being used for drug runs into U.S."[^13] The Kerry Committee's conclusion was that it "did not find evidence that the Contra leadership participated directly in narcotics smuggling," although the FDN "did move Contra funds through a narcotics trafficking enterprise and money laundering operation."[^15]
Webb wrote that Norwin Meneses traveled to Honduras to meet Bermúdez and brought Calero a crossbow as a gesture of esteem; that Calero confirmed the meeting but denied that Meneses or [[Danilo Blandon]] held any official FDN positions; that from 1984 Calero stayed in [[San Francisco]] with the Contra supporters [[Don Sinicco]] and [[Dennis Ainsworth]], that at his request Sinicco founded the Contra support group [[USACA]], and that on June 4, 1984 Ainsworth arranged a reception for Calero at the St. Francis Yacht Club for sixty business leaders, after which Meneses paid for a dinner at Caesar's Italian Restaurant and on June 6 was photographed in Sinicco's kitchen with Calero and FDN officials. Webb also wrote that Calero admitted meeting Meneses at least six times in San Francisco but described them as greetings at large gatherings, and that he told a Costa Rican newspaper in 1986 Meneses was "involved in some illegal things, but I don't know anything."[^4] Webb is the sole source for the passages so cited.

Brongersma's connections extended to other figures in the European pedophile network. He was associated with [[Fritz Bernard]], a psychologist and contributor to Shelden's PAN magazine, and with [[Joseph Douce]], a pastor who maintained contact with Dutch specialists in pedophilia issues. Douce had sent contact details of Brongersma and Bernard to representatives of Protestant Churches in Belgium who were concerned about Douce's activities. These connections placed Brongersma at the center of a network that linked political figures, academics, and religious leaders to organized child exploitation.[^1]

At the [[Senate Watergate Committee]] hearing of May 24, 1973, [[Alfred Baldwin]] identified a group of papers taken from the effects of [[James McCord]] as relating to Jack Anderson, headed "Confidential, subject: Jack Anderson" and signed by McCord. The committee received them in camera as exhibits 15A to 15D and did not publish them.[^9] On June 27, 1973 [[John Dean]] introduced a memorandum from [[Charles Colson]] to Dean, which Dean dated November 17, 1972, concerning information Colson had received from an informer about Anderson. In the memorandum Colson wrote that the informer reported Anderson found in a room with wiretap equipment and a private investigator in connection with the Dodd investigation, and that Anderson and Pearson were paid $100,000 in 1958 by [[Fulgencio Batista]] to write favorable articles. Colson wrote: "You know my personal feelings about Jack Anderson. After his incredibly sloppy and malicious reporting on Eagleton, his credibility has diminished. It now appears as if we have the opportunity to destroy it. Do you agree that we should pursue this actively?"[^10]

An observation post was maintained in the [[Statler Hilton]] hotel directly opposite Anderson's office, to attempt to determine Anderson's sources for highly classified Agency information appearing in his syndicated columns.[^11] The preceding item, CELOTEX I, covered Michael Getler of the Washington Post in 1971 and January 1972.[^11]

[[James Guerin]] (died February 10, 2022, aged 91) founded [[International Signal and Control]] (ISC), a defense electronics company in [[Lancaster, Pennsylvania]], in his basement in 1971. The company reported about 600 million dollars in annual revenue by 1987, when it merged into the British defense firm [[Ferranti]].

Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an American filmmaker based in [[Los Angeles]].[^1] He directed the 2018 documentaries [[Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers]] and [[Hunt for the Skinwalker]], presents the [[Extraordinary Beliefs]] series, and co-hosts the [[Weaponized (podcast)|WEAPONIZED]] podcast with [[George Knapp]]. In April and May 2021 he published leaked [[United States Navy]] imagery that the [[Pentagon]] addressed in an April 2021 statement. In May 2022 the chairman of a [[House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]] subcommittee named him in an opening statement at a hearing on [[Unidentified Aerial Phenomena]]. In a 2023 paper he described himself as an "American Investigative Journalist."[^2]
### Early work and the Extraordinary Beliefs series
The [[Amazon Prime Video]] profile for Corbell gives his birth date as February 3, 1977, says he was born in Los Angeles, and describes him as a lifelong Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who began the study at age 9 and taught seminars around the world before turning to art and film. The profile describes [[Lost Vegas]] (2014) as his directorial debut. The same profile lists a 2018 credit on the Lazar film under the alternate title "Area 51: Aliens, UFOs, Bob Lazar & Advanced Technology."[^3]
The series Extraordinary Beliefs is listed on [[IMDb]] as a television series. Its description, carried in a video blurb on the IMDb name page for Bob Lazar, reads: "Join CORBELL on his journey to explore the EXTRAORDINARY BELIEFS of enigmatic people deep within the aerospace, military, intelligence, conspiracy, extraterrestrial and underworld communities."[^1] The same blurb says that "Corbell documents ExtraOrdinary individuals and their belief systems," and that his research "has taken him into the worlds of nanotechnology, aerospace exploration, exotic propulsion systems, and the underworld."[^1]
### Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers
The IMDb listing for the film names Corbell as director and writer, with George Knapp and Corbell among the stars alongside [[Bob Lazar]]. It gives a United States release date of December 4, 2018 and credits the production to [[JKLC Productions]].[^4] The film's description says it is narrated by [[Mickey Rourke]].[^4] A [[MovieWeb]] headline of November 14, 2018, indexed on the same IMDb page, announced that Rourke would narrate the film.[^5]
A notice on the [[What Not To Doc]] site announced the film as "Coming to VOD today, Tuesday, December 4," credited the director as "Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell," and gave its premiere as "Ace Hotel LA (December 2018)."[^6]
The reporter [[Daniel Oberhaus]] wrote for [[Vice]] on December 4, 2018 that Lazar "says he has been raided by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] twice." Oberhaus also wrote that Lazar claims to have studied physics at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] and worked at the Meson facility at [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]], that MIT "has no records of Lazar ever being there," and that Los Alamos "has denied that he was employed there (although journalist George Knapp apparently found a Robert Lazar listed in an internal phone book for Los Alamos)."[^7] He wrote that [[United Nuclear]], Lazar's company, "has run afoul of law enforcement on two other occasions," both involving the transport of explosive materials across state lines.[^7] Oberhaus wrote that the raid described in the film "bookends Corbell's film, which attempts to separate fact from fiction in Lazar's story."[^7]
### The search of United Nuclear
Oberhaus wrote that Lazar claims in the film that United Nuclear "was recently raided by the FBI under the pretense of trying to track the source of some toxic materials." In Oberhaus's account, Lazar said the police response "was huge" and that "The entire office was filled with dozens of authorities from every conceivable branch of law enforcement."[^7] Oberhaus wrote that "The implication, Corbell's film hints, is that the government was trying to spook Lazar back into silence."[^7]
[[The Black Vault]] published a casefile of records on the search on July 1, 2019, updated June 11, 2020.[^8] The casefile dates the search to "the July 19, 2017, search of United Nuclear Scientific."[^8] It reproduces a two-page "Agency Assist" report from the [[Laingsburg Police Department]] in [[Michigan]]. According to the Black Vault's account of the report, the FBI briefed the reporting officer two days before the search, and the stated purpose was a "homicide investigation out of Houghton, MI involving poison." The report's stated scope covered "records and poisons that Lazar does sell," and it says: "The FBI also had a search warrant in case consent was not given." The report describes a [[HAZMAT]] team clearing the building, a surveillance team, and Lazar giving consent.[^8]
The Black Vault wrote that the link to a poisoning death in [[Houghton, Michigan]], is "not directly stated in the report" but can be inferred.[^8] It also wrote that "all records, including the affidavit for the search warrant of United Nuclear are sealed," because the investigation it links to is ongoing.[^8]
### Hunt for the Skinwalker
The IMDb listing for Hunt for the Skinwalker names Corbell as director and writer, with JKLC Productions in the company credits. It gives a publication date of September 11, 2018.[^9] The listing's description says the film is based on the best-selling book by George Knapp and [[Colm Kelleher]], and that it investigates "the confidential, most extensive scientific study of a paranormal hotspot in human history" at [[Skinwalker Ranch]] in Utah.[^9] The description says the study began in 1996 and was "spearheaded by an enigmatic Las Vegas billionaire," and that a second study, "government-funded but confidential," was initiated by the [[Defense Intelligence Agency]].[^9] The same text says Corbell travelled to the property to interview eyewitnesses, including the new owner of the ranch, and to uncover previously unreleased recordings.[^9] The IMDb cast list includes Knapp, Corbell, Kelleher and [[Robert Bigelow]].[^9]
### WEAPONIZED
A press release from [[Dark Horse Entertainment]] and [[Cadence13]] announced that "WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp will launch on January 24, 2023."[^10] The release describes Corbell as "an American contemporary artist and investigative filmmaker with movies on Netflix and Hulu." It quotes Corbell: "The aim of journalism is to reveal that which lies beneath the thin veneer of a society."[^10] The release says that Cadence13, described as an [[Audacy]] company, and Dark Horse Entertainment partner with Corbell and Knapp on the program.[^10]
On April 29, 2025 Corbell and Knapp released Part 1 of an episode titled "[[Immaculate Constellation]] - UFO Whistleblower Goes Public," numbered Episode 74, on a YouTube channel under Corbell's name.[^11]
### The April and May 2021 Navy imagery
On April 6, 2021 Knapp published three photographs on [[Mystery Wire]], which [[The Debrief]] describes as an F/A-18 cockpit image called "Acorn," a "Sphere" and a "Metallic Blimp." The Debrief reports that metadata attached to the Acorn image identified the forward-facing camera of an Apple iPhone 8 and a date of March 4, 2019.[^12]
On April 8, 2021 Corbell published a 42-second night-vision video of a triangular object. The Debrief reported that Corbell said briefing materials described the object as having a three-dimensional "pyramidal" shape. He linked the video to a July 2019 incident involving the [[USS Russell]] off San Diego.[^12] The Black Vault later described Corbell's release as including briefing slides from a classified briefing by the [[Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force]].[^13]
On April 9, 2021 the Pentagon spokesperson [[Susan Gough]] gave the same written statement to The Debrief and to The Black Vault: "I can confirm that the referenced photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel. The UAPTF has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations."[^12][^13] [[John Greenewald]] of The Black Vault wrote that his site had sent the April 8 imagery to the Pentagon that day and received the reply that evening.[^13] The Debrief article by [[Tim McMillan]] was published April 10, 2021.[^12]
Greenewald wrote that he then asked Gough whether the statement covered the leaked briefing-slide photographs, and that she replied: "The only thing that my statement confirms is that the photos and videos in that Mystery Wire article are photos and videos taken by Navy personnel. I have nothing for you on anything else in the article." When he asked about the Omaha encounter, Gough replied: "John, I specifically told you, twice, that I had nothing for you on any thing other than the photos and the video."[^13] The statement Gough then forwarded, which she said she had given to others, included: "As we have said before, to maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP." It also said she was confirming that the cockpit photographs and videos that the Mystery Wire article calls "Sphere," "Acorn" and "Metallic Blimp," and the videos taken with a night-vision device in the Extraordinary Beliefs article, "were taken by Navy personnel," and: "I have nothing for you regarding any other images or depictions in those articles."[^13] Greenewald wrote that the Pentagon had used the word "videos" twice and had never stated that the briefing slides were excluded, and that in his reading the original statement applied to them.[^13]
Corbell's own account of the confirmation came in a May 28, 2021 interview with [[Fox News]]: "The Pentagon did actually confirm that the footage that I obtained and released is authentic Navy footage," he said. He said the footage showed that "our Navy warships were swarmed by 'unidentifieds'" and by UFOs.[^14] The Fox article describes the footage as "reportedly captured from the U.S.S. Omaha in 2019" and the ship as "a littoral combat ship."[^14]
Corbell's May 2021 radar release concerned the [[USS Omaha]]. A 46-second video he posted shows radar of the ship near San Diego, with a voice saying that the objects are "closing in."[^15] The post described "advanced transmedium vehicles" and carried the caption "Filmed in the Combat Information Center of the USS Omaha / July 15th 2019."[^15] The Debrief describes one briefing slide as showing a spherical object, "suspected to be a transmedium vehicle," seen descending into the water.[^12] Greenewald's April 22 article gives the same July 15, 2019 date, with a time between 10:30pm and 11:30pm Pacific off San Diego, for a spherical object encounter involving the Omaha, which he wrote he had "reason to believe" occurred.[^13]
### The May 2022 House intelligence hearing
On May 17, 2022 the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation held an open hearing, "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena," with [[Ronald Moultrie]], Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and [[Scott Bray]], Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence. In his opening statement the chairman, [[Andre Carson]], said that "civil society groups like the Mutual UFO Network, Mr. Corbell, and others have been collecting data on this issue for years."[^16]
Bray showed a video in which "U.S. Navy personnel recorded what appears to be triangles, some flashing, recorded several years ago off the coast of the United States," taken "through night vision goggles with a single-lens reflex camera." He said these "remained unresolved for several years," and that after a later encounter off a different coast "we are now reasonably confident that these triangles correlate to unmanned aerial systems in the area. The triangular appearance is a result of light passing through the night vision goggles and then being recorded by an SLR camera."[^16] Bray named no ship or date in these remarks. Corbell's April 8 video was described by The Debrief as a night-vision video of a triangular object that Corbell linked to the USS Russell in July 2019.[^12] Of a different clip, an F/A-18 cockpit view of a spherical object, Bray said: "I do not have an explanation for what this specific object is."[^16]
### The July 2023 hearing and the Congressional Record
On July 26, 2023 the [[House Committee on Oversight and Accountability]] subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs held the hearing "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency," with [[David Fravor]], [[Ryan Graves]] and [[David Grusch]] as witnesses.[^17] [[Tim Burchett]] told the hearing: "Also, I know I saw out in the crowd there George Knapp, my buddy, Jeremy Corbell. They are not witnesses, but they have provided some statements on this subject." He asked: "I seek unanimous consent to enter those statements into the record, Mr. Chairman." The record gives the chair's response as "Without objection."[^17] The printed index lists a "Report, Jeremy Corbell, 'The UAP Puzzle'; submitted by Rep. Burchett."[^17]
The paper, subtitled "Anthropocentrism & Avoiding Strategic Surprise," is credited to "Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, American Investigative Journalist" and runs six pages. It opens: "UFOs are real." Its first page says: "As I write these words, the UFO issue is emerging as a major topic of global importance." Later it states that "UAP are witnessed, documented and often captured on corroborative multi-platform defense sensors."[^2] The paper places its writing in "this year of 2023."[^2]
On January 10, 2024 [[TMZ]] reported that "Grusch tells filmmaker and journalist Jeremy Corbell that despite pushback, he has no regrets over his testimony in D.C." The article is headed "TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution," described as a three-part event.[^18]
### The September 2025 hearing
Corbell was not a witness at the September 9, 2025 hearing of the [[Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets]], chaired by [[Anna Paulina Luna]], titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection." The witness list names Jeffrey Nuccetelli, Alexandro Wiggins, George Knapp, Dylan Borland and, for the minority, Joe Spielberger of the [[Project On Government Oversight]].[^19]
The hearing record refers to Corbell in two exchanges, both in remarks by other speakers. Knapp testified: "Jeremy Corbell and I talked about it in one of our episodes a while back," in reference to an MQ-9 video of an object off Yemen that [[Eric Burlison]] had played.[^19] [[Nancy Mace]] told Knapp: "You and Jeremy have done a terrific job." The transcript gives only the first name.[^19]
### Copyright and court records
The [[United States Copyright Office]] public catalog lists "Table Twenty," a sound recording registered May 11, 1995 (SR0000198913, first published April 12, 1995), with "Corbell, Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer, 1977-" and three co-authors as claimants.[^20] It lists "The ANONYMOUS Interview," an unpublished motion picture created in 2013 and registered April 14, 2014 (PAu003718389), with Jeremy Corbell as author and claimant and the rights-and-permissions entry "CHD2, LLC."[^20] A 2025 episode of "Shane Smith Has Questions" with Corbell as guest ("What the U.S. Military Knows About UFOs ft. Jeremy Corbell," published August 28, 2025) is registered by [[Vice Media]] Acquisition LLC (PA0002578156, registered January 25, 2026).[^20]
The catalog records two security-interest documents that list "Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers" among their titles. A supplement to a copyright security agreement executed March 7, 2022 and recorded March 16, 2022 (V15006D305, 69 titles) names [[Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment]], [[Crackle Plus]] and affiliates as first parties and [[MidCap Funding IV Trust]] as second party. A termination of the agreement executed August 11, 2022 and recorded August 25, 2022 (V15009D331, 1,472 titles) names MidCap as first party and Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment as second party.[^21] The catalog holds no registration for Hunt for the Skinwalker as a film. It lists the book of that title (TX0006340176, registered April 27, 2006, first published November 15, 2005) with Colm Kelleher and George Knapp as claimants.[^22]
A federal docket in the [[United States District Court for the Central District of California]], "Jeremy Corbell v. GAIAM, Inc.," No. 2:10-cv-05259, was filed July 16, 2010 and terminated August 25, 2010. The complaint, a trademark suit, describes the plaintiff as an artist, martial artist, yoga and massage professional residing in Los Angeles County and founder and president of Warrior Yoga, and names as defendants [[Gaiam]] and [[Trudie Styler]] over the video "Trudie Styler's Warrior Yoga." The Amazon profile of the filmmaker describes a Jiu-Jitsu background and seminar teaching in Los Angeles. The name and the Los Angeles martial-arts background match the filmmaker's.[^23]

### Ford Foundation
[[John J. McCloy]] offered Bundy the Ford Foundation presidency on November 7, 1965, and Bundy reported the offer to Johnson the next day. A report by Garnett D. Horner in the Washington Star of December 8, 1965 gave the presidency's salary as 75,000 dollars a year, against his White House salary of 28,500 dollars.[^34] In a memorandum of December 4, 1965, Bundy told Johnson that he had asked the Ford trustees to let him accept "on the understanding that I shall always be free to accept any special assignments from you," that [[Julius A. Stratton|Jay Stratton]], McCloy's successor, had agreed in the name of the trustees,[^35] and that he would stay in the White House through February 1966; McCloy, for the foundation, had accepted the delay on November 29.[^36] On November 13, 1965, Johnson asked Under Secretary of State [[Thomas C. Mann]] about "Bill Bundy to succeed his brother."[^37] The [[Harvard Crimson]] reported on November 15, 1965 that McCloy, the foundation's chairman, approached Bundy in Washington about succeeding [[Henry T. Heald]] as president beginning January 1.[^38]

In October 1966 the FBI learned that [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] had met with Bundy, "then Director of the Ford Foundation," and had received a tentative offer of a grant for the [[Southern Christian Leadership Conference]]. The FBI's Domestic Intelligence Division decided that if the foundation's officials were briefed on King's advisers "this might preclude any assistance being granted," and Hoover approved a plan to have a former FBI agent, then a vice-president of the [[Ford Motor Company]], approach Bundy. In a memorandum of October 26, 1966, [[Cartha DeLoach]] reported that Bundy had refused to talk with the former agent about King, saying he would only talk with a person having first-hand knowledge; Hoover wrote on the memorandum, "Yes. We would get no where with Bundy."[^39]

The House October Surprise Task Force report of January 3, 1993 records the American-side documents on Israeli arms offers to Iran. On April 13, 1980 a high-level Israeli official told Carter in Washington that Israel had contacts in Iran that could help with the hostages if it were allowed to sell certain military equipment; Carter rejected the offer and obtained an assurance that Israel would observe the embargo, with Israel to advise the United States before changing its policy. On October 22, 1980 the Israelis told Ambassador Lewis that a deal for 200 tires for F-4 aircraft had been negotiated, and the State Department instructed the embassy to convey a message to Begin that the American government "recognize[d] the long-term significance" of an Israeli relationship with Iran but that Western allies prohibited exports to Iran while hostages were held. The Israeli government's own report to the task force stated that Begin raised the arms question with Carter and Secretary of State [[Edmund Muskie]] during his visit to the United States in November 1980, stressing that deliveries might help release the hostages, and that on November 21, 1980 he ordered that arms would not be supplied directly or indirectly to Iran until the hostages were released. On February 4, 1981 Begin told Lewis that future deliveries would use only Israeli equipment without United States components.[^11]
Ben-Menashe's account differs. He wrote that Begin sent the emissary Ruth Ben-David, an old friend of the Ayatollah [[Ruhollah Khomeini]], to him in Paris in December 1978; that in April 1980 Begin gave "the green light for the sale to Iran of non-American military equipment," tires rather than technical parts, after which Carter telephoned Begin on April 27 to complain; that in September 1980 Begin sent Ben-David to Tehran to seek release of the hostages in exchange for Israeli arms guarantees; that in the fall of 1980 Begin ordered the military intelligence chief [[Yehoshua Sagi]] and the Mossad's acting director [[Nachum Admoni]] to create the [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]]; and that Begin "had secretly reached in principle" a cooperation agreement with [[William J. Casey]] in August 1980.[^12] Ben-Menashe is the sole source for these passages. The House task force wrote that credible testimony and documents showed Ben-Menashe "to be totally lacking in credibility" on the Casey and Karrubi meetings, that [[Rafael Eitan]] and Saguy told the Israeli government they had never met him, and that his Israeli military file showed work as a translator; Ben-Menashe was acquitted in New York in November 1990 on charges of conspiring to sell Israeli-owned C-130 aircraft to Iran.[^13] The Mossad's own list of directors gives Yitzhak Hofi as head from 1974 to 1982 and Admoni from 1982.[^14]

In a second incident, von Braun presented Geller with a non-working electronic pocket calculator. Geller held the machine and concentrated, and witnesses confirmed that the electronic panel inexplicably lit up. These incidents caught the attention of the [[Pentagon]], leading to a briefing on "Paranormal Phenomena - Briefing on a Net Assessment Study." The briefing noted the potential utility of [[Psychokinesis|psychokinesis]] (if feasible) in disrupting electrical systems, such as those associated with an [[Intercontinental Ballistic Missile|ICBM]]'s guidance program, as displayed by Geller[^1].
### Redstone Arsenal, 1950 to 1960
Von Braun's team moved from [[Fort Bliss]], Texas, to [[Redstone Arsenal]] in [[Huntsville, Alabama]] beginning on April 15, 1950. The Army chronology records about 120 German scientists arriving from Fort Bliss in April 1950 and describes the post as officially entering the missile era with the arrival of the group.[^2] On January 16, 1953 the Army redesignated the Guided Missiles Development Branch as the Guided Missile Development Division of the Ordnance Missile Laboratory and appointed von Braun its chief.[^3] The first Redstone research and development missile was flight tested on August 20, 1953.[^3]
The [[Army Ballistic Missile Agency]] was established at Redstone Arsenal on February 1, 1956, with the mission of fielding the Army's first intermediate range ballistic missile.[^4] On January 31, 1958 a Jupiter C missile placed [[Explorer 1]] into orbit; NASA gives the launch time as 10:48 p.m. EST and describes the rocket as developed at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Alabama under the direction of von Braun.[^5][^6] After President [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|Eisenhower]] approved the transfer of the agency's scientists and engineers to [[NASA]] on October 21, 1958, the [[Marshall Space Flight Center|George C. Marshall Space Flight Center]] opened at Redstone Arsenal on July 1, 1960, and Eisenhower dedicated it on September 8, 1960.[^4][^7]
