I have already discussed this with my husband. I will not board the “train”. Jesus will be waiting for me (I pray).
In the Times obit, it was reported that while at Columbia, he studied mathematics and anthropology at Columbia, and after graduating in 1941, joined the Army and served with the Office of Strategic Services in Washington and Europe. After the war, he returned to Columbia to teach, earned his masters degree and then completed coursework for a Ph.D. He segued from English to math and the sciences, social and physical and wrote elementary and middle school science and math textbooks. He taught at Columbia’s School of Engineering and led a program to recruit “promising elementary and secondary science students, including girls, and enlist them for advanced training at the school to help them rise to the college level.” Barr developed the University’s Science Honors Program which would be modeled by the National Science Foundation for similar programs.
In his 1973 science fiction book ‘Space Relations: A slightly gothic interplanetary tale,’ Barr wrote about a future where after “…galaxies are colonized, John Craig, a young space diplomat, is captured by interplanetary pirates and sold into slavery.” The blub for the book reads, that on the planet Kossar, “boredom and absolute power have driven the rulers to a special kind of madness,” and Craig is captured and sold into slavery until he’s bought by “the exquisite lady Morgan Sydney, a beautiful, sensual woman. He soon makes his way from the hellish slavery into her bed in the tower of her castle.”

A few of the FBI pages on Robert Maxwell, found below, point to an East and West German nexus, which could easily tie together old Nazis, East German Stasi agents, Soviet KGB agents, former US OSS agents-CIA agents, and black-market criminals-mafia. Recall that the Stasi card of KGB agent Putin was recently found. Although the Soviet Union cut deals and a non-aggression pact with the Nazis, they switched to the allied side, toward the end of World War II, after they were doubled-crossed by Hitler. However, some people stayed on the Soviet side, while remaining in the west. From Czechoslovakia, Robert Maxwell could have been such a person. Nonetheless, based on the FBI file, it appears that he may have done so for monetary gain. The head of Nord Stream is a former Stasi agent, friend of Putin, Matthias Warnig. He also serves on the board of Rosneft.
Robert Maxwell was in occupied Germany with the British, in Berlin, after World War II. William Barr’s father, Donald Barr, was also in Germany after the War, reportedly working in “denazification” of businesses.
Retyped from the FBI document, with CIA and Maxwell added for clarifty:
“According to T-1 (the CIA), of known reliability, subject (Ian Robert Maxwell) and Kurt Wallersteiner, British citizens, business partners, are in contact with Russians in East Germany, who were prepared to facilitate trading by their companies with Eastern bloc countries in return for political and economic intelligence information regarding policies of the Western Powers, and the West German Government, in particular, towards East Germany; information regarding US and allied mililtary, political, and economic organizations in Germany; US and allied intelligence operations directed against the Soviet bloc; US contacts with underground movement in the USSR. Maxwell and Wallersteiner’s contacts, travels, and activities in the US and Canada, 1954, set out. East Coast INS and US Customs lookout placed for subject and Wallersteiner. Physical description of Maxwell set out.
