Many survivors have identified Josef Mengele as using the aliases Dr. Green, Dr. Black, Dr. Swartz (black in German), Father Joseph, or Vaterchen (daddy) when he did their programming. The experiments and programming he used on us were of such a heinous nature, that they were not unlike some of those performed at Auschwitz. I have personally spoken and corresponded with many of these child Cold War survivors who have agreed to allow me to recount some of their mind control and brainwashing experiments by the man they believe to be Josef Mengele using one of the above aliases and other CIA or military doctors.

 

Josef Mengele attended Frankfurt Institute for Racial Hygiene doing his doctoral research on cleft palate. In 1937, he was appointed a research assistant at the Third Reich Institute for Heredity, Biology, and Racial Purity at the University of Frankfurt where he worked with Professor Otmar Freiherr von Vershuer and learned genetic manipulation. Mengele provided “experimental materials” to the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology
xliii
from Twins including eyes, blood, and other body parts from Auschwitz.
164
One of the victims of Mengele’s experiments was quoted as saying, “It is imperative that the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute be implicated as the initiator and recipient of the research data; it should not be able to get away from the ultimate responsibility for these horrors.”
165

 

In
The Nazi Hunters
, authors Ashman and Wagman report that von Verschuer gave Mengele his first assignment within weeks of his arrival at Auschwitz. When Allied doctors reviewed some of the results of his experiments on twins at Kaiser Wilhelm Institute after the war, they found that Mengele’s research was aimed at trying to establish a way of creating twins through genetic engineering.
166

 

After an abortion performed on me in Montreal, Canada when I was twelve, Dr. Black harvested eggs. I can only assume from what he showed me a few years later, that he was playing God and tampering with genes to create a “Super Race.” He undoubtedly was doing test tube fertilization with these eggs.
167
Unfortunately his early experiments produced children with grossly enlarged heads. He showed me two of these poor children when I was 16 years old and told me they were mine. I still grieve for them, and what has become of them remains a mystery to me. I do believe however, that what he told me may have been nothing more than lies as these men were masters at the art of deception. Fooling children isn’t that difficult to do when they are in a traumatized state.

 

It usually takes twenty years or more before tests conducted secretly by the government become known by the public via privately researched tests. It was no surprise to me when in 1999 researchers at the University of Hawaii successfully cloned an adult male mammal. The clone, a male mouse named Fibro was created using a cell from the tail of an adult male mouse.
168
Prior to Fibro, researchers had succeeded in cloning male mammals only by using fetal
tissues, just like Mengele had collected from my aborted fetus.

 

Josef Mengele fled Auschwitz in January 1945 before the Russians liberated the camp. Author Phillip Aziz says he went to his birthplace in Gunzburg, Bavaria after “a mysterious odyssey with Wilma through flaming Europe.”
169
According to Gerald Posner’s account, Dr. Mengele’s young Jewish mistress Wilma had taken his research notes to Warsaw where he later retrieved them.”
170
I can see where these notes would make him a valuable commodity to the CIA and the Agency.

 

John Loftus and Mark Aarons report that British records show a man named Mengele was in their custody in 1945 for interrogation concerning chemical weapons.
171
They said there is circumstantial evidence of a deal between Mengele and the British for his nerve gas records. Loftus explains that a short time after Mengele’s trip to bring back his trunk full of records, “Mengele’s brother, father and co-researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute were all released from custody, and allowed to resume their civilian employment without regard to their Nazi pasts.”
172

 

French Government documents state that the Americans had captured Mengele in late 1946. According to the French Mengele was known to be the “notorious camp doctor from Auschwitz, and was released without explanation by the Americans on November 19, 1946. The French claimed that American authorities confirmed the Mengele arrest and release on Feb. 29, 1947.”
173

 

Posner says Mengele eluded capture at a prisoner of war camp near Munich, after receiving papers from a fellow prisoner. For vanity reasons he refused to have his blood type tattooed beneath his arm the way the other SS soldiers and doctors had done. The American Army said they did not realize he was a member of the SS and released him. He remained on the run until he sailed on the
North King
to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1949.
174
Mengele proceeded to set up a medical practice in a residential area in Buenos Aires.
175

 

That same year Carmel Offie was working in Washington emigrating former Nazis into the U.S. through the CIA-funded OPC (Office of Policy Coordination) in the State Department. I have identified Offie from a photo, as the man I knew as Crazy Eddie. You may remember Crazy Eddie handed me over in 1952 to Allen Dulles, Sid Gottlieb and Josef Mengele. Crazy Eddie’s real name was Carmel Offie.

 

In 1946 Offie was putting together reports on the movement of German scientists from the American Zone into France, individuals who had eluded Paperclip. In the spring of 1948, Carmel was working in Frankfurt at USPOLAD. Burton Hersh reports in
The Old Boys,
that “One of Offie’s functions at POLAD had been to rake through the flotsam churned up by the postwar disorder—the defunctive Nazi exluminaries and cutthroat émigré politicians and paper mill impresarios of promise—and help the CIC and others plug legitimate experts in around the emerging Cold-War bureaucracies.” Hersh also reports that Offie identified Hilger as indispensable when Gehlen
xliv
found a place for him in G-2’s Technical Intelligence Branch (Operation Rusty).
176

 

According to Hersh, Carmel Offie was “doubling as a kind of booking agent for many of the refugee scholars” that the U.S was interested in obtaining. He went to work for Frank Wisner
xlv
who got Congress to pass the One-Hundred-a Year CIA Act, which allowed Offie to bring in, unmonitored, a hundred refugees each year with their dossiers “Sanitized.” Offie was Wisner’s special assistant for labor and migratory affairs. He personally oversaw the National Committee for Free Europe, which passed OPC money to anti-Communist unions in Europe.

 

John Loftus reports that Carmel worked for the DDU (Document Disposal Unit), which took orders from Dulles.
xlvi
He calls the DDU the OSS “Political Intelligence” experts who wore Army uniforms but were paid through the State Department.
177
He also says, “The DDU became a pseudo-CIA inside the CIA that hid information instead of centralizing it.” Loftus says they did “not realize to this day that a trio of ‘useful idiots’ – Dulles, Wisner and Angleton–sabotaged their filing system to protect the State Department’s Nazis.”
178
The DDU also made the payments to Gehlen’s organization.
179

 

In 1949 Offie became responsible for the care of a number of Bloodstone émigrés’.
180
Bloodstone was the codename for the operation, which proposed that 250 Nazi collaborators be brought into the United States who would otherwise be barred by the Displaced Persons Act. Simpson also reports that a special Bloodstone subcommittee had been created to supply false identities, government cover jobs, and secret police protection to selected Bloodstone immigrants.
181

 

Nineteen Forty-Nine proved to be a very busy year for Offie. In September 1949 Italian Interior Minister Mario Scelba headed a newly organized intelligence agency, SIFAR. Carmel Offie, nicknamed godfather by the Italians supervised SIFAR.
xlvii
In 1952 SIFAR received secret orders from Washington to adopt a series of political, paramilitary and psychological operations to diminish the power of the Italian Communist Party.
182

 

Carmel Offie was also handling another project employing Nazi collaborators through a U.S.-financed “think tank” named the Eurasian Institute. The Institute was enlisting men who were important members of the German espionage network in Central Asia from 1931 to 1945.
183

 

Wisner and Offie were still working together in 1950, when Joseph McCarthy referred to Offie as a State Department veteran who “has now been assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency.” These remarks were made to a Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They were also told by McCarthy that he “was a homosexual...spent his time hanging around the men’s room in Lafayette Park.”
184

 

Allen Dulles joined the CIA and became deputy director in 1951. Frank Wisner remained as head of OPC.
xlviii
By 1951, the FBI was watching Offie and reported that he might be employed in a covert capacity or on a special project for the Army.
185

 

If the information I have provided is not enough proof that this man was well acquainted with numerous Nazis, I present a final tie that binds him to Sidney Gottlieb. As documented by the FBI, Offie owned a farm in Markham, Virginia. Hersh reports how Hoover’s people staked out Offie in hopes of catching him involved in malfeasances from gun running to operating a white slavery ring at his Markham farm. Carmel Offie’s farm was about 20 miles apart from Sid Gottlieb’s goat farm in Boston, Virginia.

 

Whether Offie and Mengele met will, for the time being, remain a question mark. There remains no doubt in my mind that he had the opportunity and the means to meet him, especially since Offie had previously helped the Vatican get a travel pass for Monsignor Krunoslav Draganovic to the prison camps.
186
Draganovic, you may remember, ran the ratlines for U.S. sponsored Nazi escapees. With Mengele’s notoriety due to the depravity of his war crimes, it must have been very risky business to sneak him in and out of this country. Perhaps those who transported him never knew his real identity.

 

Offie, while still working for the OPC as liaison between the CIA and State Department, delivered me to Allen Dulles and Sidney Gottlieb for those first experiments in 1952 during which Dr. Black and others programmed me. With Frank Wisner reporting to Dulles and working intimately with Gottlieb, the circle became complete. By 1953, Dulles became the CIA’s autocratic director, with Wisner as Deputy Director for Plans handling all covert operations and dirty tricks until 1959.

 

If one looks at the evidence of the link between Allen Dulles, Richard Nixon, and other prominent politicians with war criminals, you can see a clear pattern of deception. Why then would you find it so hard to believe that Josef Mengele was covertly used in the same way?

 

John Loftus said, “A Pentagon official acknowledged recently that Military Intelligence sent so many Nazis to South America that one government ‘passed the word that they would not take any more.’ Another official admitted putting his own fingerprints on documents belonging to a former SS officer who was spying for the military in East Germany. Equipped with a new set of documents and a safe set of prints, the SS man was free to emigrate wherever he chose...The Pentagon, at least where its own interests were concerned was willing to ignore any Nazi migration to South America.”
187
They seemed to have easy access to whoever might help their cause.

 

Henry Kissinger was a consultant for the Operations Research Office of the Pentagon after the war doing historical research into the use of native collaborators by the Nazis for Operation Pow-wow. He had been an Army Sergeant serving with the 970th CIC unit in Germany, where his specialty was identifying Gestapo and SS officers hiding out among the civilian population.”
188
Alex Constantine reports that John McCloy arranged to have Klaus Barbie sheltered from prosecution by the 970th CIC Corps.
189
Martin Lee reports Barbie went on to assist a succession of military regimes in Bolivia, where he taught soldiers torture techniques.
190
How many of those identified were illegally given refuge once the war was over? Only now is the truth being revealed with the declassification of Government files.

 

In an October 1999 report titled Implementation of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, An Interim Report to Congress, the Army’s CIC was named as having “had the primary responsibility for security in the American zones in Germany and Austria.” It “became involved with many Germans and others knowledgeable about the Soviet Union and its intelligence services, and by the late 1940s had established many agent networks within the occupation zones and extending into Eastern Europe. These networks employed numerous agents, some of whom had tainted wartime backgrounds.”
