They left out that he held the rank of Sturmbannfuehrer in the SS, and was more involved in the Nordhausen project [An underground facility chiseled out of a mountain for V 2 assembly], which used Jewish slave labor, and had an extremely high mortality rate [By that time the SS had taken over the rockets program from the Army].

But I still remember him on the "Wonderful World of Disney" explaining [and demonstrating] nuclear fission with a large table covered with mouse traps, each of which held a ping pong ball - and onto one of which he threw a ping pong ball.

To: Paul Ross; All

Von Braun left the space agency in June 1972 to accept a position as vice president of Fairchild Industries. Several years later, the world’s most famous rocket scientist learned he had contracted cancer. His health began to decline in 1976 and was finally hospitalized later that year. He resigned from Fairchild Industries in January 1977 and was confined to his bed, growing weaker by the month. He died on June 16, 1977, only 65 years old. He was buried at Ivy Hill Cemetery in Alexandria, Virgina.
= = = = =

I believe it was in 1974 that Von Braun told Dr Carol Rosin--who was or also became a Fairchild VP--that the Soviet Union was going to be demoted as the world's boogeyman.

Then, there would be a war on terror.

and

A war against Iraq

and then

A war against ET's in space.

Dr Rosin later was in a high level meeting at Fairchild with such puppet masters planning such things and she protested only to be slapped down firmly. She shortly resigned.

This testimony is available in Dr Steven Greer's Disclosure Project's first large volume of testimonies and on his website.

The Greatest Secret in Modern History

UFOs and a Solution to the Environmental and Energy Crisis

The Cover-up: UFOs

Mercury & Gemini Astronaut, Colonel Gordon Cooper
A saucer flew right over [us] and landed out on the dry lakebed. [The cameramen] went out with their cameras towards the UFO. I had a chance to hold [the film] up to the window to look at it. Good close-up shots. There was no doubt in my mind that it was someplace other than on this Earth. -- Video interview. Transcribed in Disclosure, Steven M. Greer, MD., ed., pp. 226 - 227. See also Gordon Cooper & Bruce Henderson, Leap of Faith: an Astronaut's Journey into the Unknown, pp. 80-91, 194 - 200.

FAA Division Chief of Accidents and Investigations, John Callahan
The UFO was bouncing around the 747. [It] was a huge ball with lights running around it….Well, I've been involved in a lot of cover-ups with the FAA. When we gave the presentation to the Reagan staff, they had all those people swear that this never happened. But they never had me swear it never happened. I can tell you what I've seen with my own eyes. I've got a videotape. I've got the voice tape. I've got the reports that were filed that will confirm what I've been telling you. -- Video interview and Disclosure, pp. 80 - 85.

Former Chief of Defense, British Royal Navy, Admiral Lord Hill-Norton
I have frequently been asked why a person of my background-a former Chief of the Defense Staff, a former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee-why I think there is a cover-up [of] the facts about UFOs. I believe governments fear that if they did disclose those facts, people would panic. I don't believe that at all. There is a serious possibility that we are being visited by people from outer space. It behooves us to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. -- Video and Disclosure, pp. 305 - 307.

Former Director of CIA, Admiral R.H. Hillenkoetter
Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel. ---The New York Times, Sunday, February 28, 1960: "Air Force Order on 'Saucers' Cited," p. L30. See also Disclosure, p. 58.

US Navy Pilot, Lieutenant Frederick Fox
There is a [military] publication called JANAP 146E that has a section that says you will not reveal any information regarding the UFO phenomenon under penalty of $10,000 fine and ten years in jail. So the secret has been kept. -- Disclosure, pp. 145, 146.

Marine Corps, Corporal Jonathan Weygandt
[The UFO] was buried in the side of a cliff. When I first saw it, I was scared. I think the creatures calmed me….[Later] I was arrested [by an Air Force officer]. He was saying, "Do you like the Constitution?" I'm like, "Yeah." He said, "We don't obey. We just do what we want. And if you tell anybody [about us or the UFO], you will just come up missing." -- Video and Disclosure, pp. 275 - 277.

UFO Message: Don't Mess With Nuclear Weapons

US Air Force, FAA, Captain Robert Salas
[The security guard called and] said, "Sir, there's a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I've got all the men out here with their weapons drawn." We lost between 16 to 18 ICBMs [nuclear-tipped InterContinental Ballistic Missiles] at the same time UFOs were in the area….[A high-ranking Air Force Officer] said, "Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report." I heard that many of the guards that reported this incident were sent off to Viet Nam. -- Video and Disclosure, pp. 168-171.

US Air Force Lieutenant, Professor Robert Jacobs
So this thing [UFO] fires a beam of light at the warhead, hits it and then it moves to the other side and fires another beam of light. And the warhead tumbles out of space. What message would I interpret from that? [The UFOs were telling us] don't mess with nuclear warheads. Major Mannsman said, "You are never to speak of this again." After an article [about the incident years later], people would call and start screaming at me. One night somebody blew up my mailbox. -- Video and Disclosure, pp. 184, 187.

For full story see book Disclosure and witness videos at www.disclosureproject.org.
Disclosure Project has over 400 government and military witnesses prepared to testify on this subject.

More Cover-up: Advanced Technologies Developed from UFOs

Russian Air Force, Space Communications Center, General Vasily Alexeyev
As a rule, [places where UFOs appear] are objects of strategic significance….[The Air Force] came up with a table with pictures of all the shapes of UFOs that had ever been recorded-about fifty-ranging from ellipses and spheres to something resembling spaceships….The study of UFOs may reveal some new forms of energy to us, or at least bring us closer to a solution. -- Disclosure, pp. 345 - 347.

US Air Force, Aerospace Illustrator, Mark McCandlish
This [US made] antigravity propulsion system-this flying saucer-was one of three that were in this hangar at Norton Air Force Base. They called [it] the Alien Reproduction Vehicle [ARV], also nicknamed the Flux Liner. -- Disclosure, p. 501.

US Marine Corps, Captain Bill Uhouse
The [flight] simulator was for the extraterrestrial craft they had - a 30 meter one that crashed in Kingman, Arizona, back in 1953. I was inside the actual alien craft for a start-up. There are probably two or three dozen [flying saucers] that we built. -- Disclosure, pp. 384, 385.

US Air Force, NRO Operative, Sergeant Dan Morris
UFOs are both extraterrestrial and manmade….It's not that our government doesn't want us to know that there are other people on other planets. What the people in power don't want us to know is that this free energy [from energy generators developed with UFO technology] is available to everybody. So secrecy about the UFOs is because of the energy issue. When this knowledge is found out by the people, they will demand that our government release this technology, and it will change the world. -- Disclosure, pp. 364.

US Air Force, Colonel Charles Brown
I was getting 20 to 30% improvement in efficiency on an internal combustion engine. I sponsored the US Army race team on a racing car, [and] we won a race. [Then] the Federal Trade Commission performed an illegal act. I lost my vehicle, about $100,000 worth of equipment, and a test vehicle was stolen….So in three weeks, psychologically I was wiped out. -- Disclosure, pp. 247 - 251.

US Army, Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering, Colonel Thomas E. Bearden
Probably 50 inventors have invented [virtually cost-free energy systems]. If we use these systems, we can clean up this biosphere. But, what we have is a situation where the entire structure of science, industry, and the patent office are against you. And behind this, we have a few people who are quite wealthy. The more powerful the agency, the more they will resort not only to legal, but to extra-legal means to suppress their competition. Lethal force is used. -- Disclosure, pp. 534-542. See also www.cheniere.org.

The Grand War Plan: It's All Based on a Lie

Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries, Spokesperson for Wernher Von Braun, Dr. Carol Rosin
Von Braun [founder of modern rocket science] told me [in 1974] that the reasons for space-based weaponry were all based on a lie. He said that the strategy was to use scare tactics-that first the Russians, then the terrorists are going to be considered the enemy. The next enemy was asteroids. "The last card is the alien card. We are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens, and all of it is a lie."….I was at a meeting in Fairchild Industries in the War Room. The conversation [was] about how they were going to antagonize these enemies and at some point, there was going to be a Gulf War. Now this is 1977! -- pp. 255 - 259.

Disclosure Project, Founder and Director, Steven M. Greer, M.D.
The situation is so dire that senior Joint Chiefs of Staff leaders in the Pentagon who I have briefed, have no more access to such projects than any other civilian-unless they are on the 'inside'. The government is really quite outside the loop. We have insiders and scientists who can prove that we do in fact possess energy generation systems capable of completely and permanently replacing all forms of currently used energy generation and transportation systems. Every single person who is concerned about the environment and the human future should call for urgent hearings to allow these technologies to be disclosed, declassified, and safely applied. -- Disclosure, pp. 14, 15, 567.

You had to be a bit clever to walk away from the Nazis.

Heisenberg did it, but few others.

Even some very clever ones did not walk away but joined the party voluntarily.

"... I don't believe Von Braun was really a Nazi, and he WANTED to go with the Americans, and brought his brain trust with him."

That's what happened. He had his men load 14 tons of technical designs and blueprints onto several trucks and had them hidden in an iron mine. Then, they sealed off the mine with explosives and scrambled towards the US Army's western front before the Soviets got there.

His ultra-secret laboratory was discovered by US forces hidden in an unassuming quarry far from the combat zones. It was a dawdling Allied general who dragged his feet on removing Von Braun's 'Magician's Cave' full of V1/V2 rockets and high tech machinery. The general didn't know that the laboratory was behind the lines in what was previously agreed to be the Soviet area of control, so not all of the equipment made it to White Sands NM.

Von Braun was smart enough to wait until the smoke cleared before he gave up the whereabouts of his life's work to the US and British. The Russians only got some fancy discombobulated parts, but the US got the cream of the crop in materials and personnel plus all the technical plans; 'Our Germans are better zan zere Germans'. He was the one holding all the cards. You bet your sweet patootie we made life comfortable as hell for him.

The men of Dr. Von Bruan's caliber today couldn't get hired making lattes, much less space exploration vehicles, at the new NASA.

At least give them credit for completely inventing the old NASA.

I hear that Mark Spitz wouldn't even qualify for the modern US Olympic Swim Team with the results of his past Olympic performances. He's still got nine gold medals.

Gather round while I sing you of Werner von Braun,
A man whose allegiance, is ruled by expegiance,
Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown,
`Ha, nazi-shmazi', say Werner von Braun.

Don't say that he's hypocritical,
Say rather, that he's apolitical,
`Once rockets are up, who cares where they come down,
`That's not my department' says Werner von Braun.

Some have harsh words for this man of reknown,
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude,
Like the widows and cripples of Old London Towne,
Who owe their large pensions to Werner von Braun.

You too, may be a big hero,
Once you learn to count backwards, to zero.
`In German, or Englisch, I know how to count down...
`Und I'm learning Chinese', says Werner von Braun!

[Tom Lehrer's "That was the Year that Was", 1965]

In October 1949, the Secretary of the Army approved the transfer of von Braun and his team from Ft. Bliss to Redstone Arsenal, Alabama the following year—a move welcomed by practically all the Germans.

Fort Bliss. One of history's great oxymorons.

While I haven't seen the video you mention

It was part of this film clip:

In this frame he doesn't have the Nazi sneer, but he sure did earlier in a closeup.

Thanks for your concern.

I have no delusions about the uninformed and the swallowers of the MSM swill on the topic think or don't think. Have studied such topics since about 1960.

There are some things that are far more likely facts than some others. If one listens to Dr Carol Rosin's testimony on the DVD, with anything close to an open mind, I think her sincerity, IQ, experience etc. come through loud and clear. She's simply telling the truth as someone who was well connected with the power brokers.

This is essentially the same cabal that George Soros is such an effective front man for.

But that's OK. Best not believe anything that causes one to lose sleep or be extra alert or research things more diligently. Folks are far better off to just walk on by. Nothing happening. The MSM said so. And the government said so. The government said they were just testing crash dummies and weather balloons several years before they really used the crash dummise but one shouldn't let inconvenient facts bother one.

Von Braun didn't work on the V-1 program. it wasn't a rocket, but rather a pilotless jet.

It's always amazing to me that folks who obviously have bothered to research maybe 0.00001% of what I and others have for more than 4 decades and yet are so quick and so confident with the outrageous personal insults.

Obviously they haven't had close relatives work in such areas and fields, either.

Actually, there are Freepers who currently work in such areas. Understandably, they are loathe to post anything significant openly. They values their lives and the lives of their families too much.

That's OK. The MSM expects to have converts and useful . . . uninformed folks dedicated to supporting all their disinformation and party line. It is sad, though, when they convince so many who are conservative instead of merely the normally ignorant DIMRATS.

BTW, my allergy ZICAM OTC med works quite well. Beyond that, the vitamins work quite well. But as a PhD in clinical psych, something tells me other meds were being snidely and insultingly inferred.

Par for the course.

I forget if it's on this forum or another that I met someone who's dad was a close colleague of Von Braun's. She affirmed at least the broad outline I've posted.

Remember, ignorance is NOT bliss.
