PHONY DOCUMENTS
Tim Cooper of Big Bear Lake, California, had received a load of supposed MJ-12
documents over a period of time. With the exception of a lengthy piece on the
history of UFOs (Bowen Document) which is on original paper but only has a
magenta TOP SECRET MAJIC stamped on it, they are Xerox copies. In a number of
instances the originals were very hard to read which meant much time was spent
trying to decipher the words. To some this means authenticity. One had bothered
me because it was supposedly a memo from Admiral Hillenkoetter to President
Truman (Feb. 17, 1948) noting that President Truman wasn’t getting much of the
MAJIC material being received in large quantities every 24 hours. Marshall would
prepare special black books for Truman (see Figure 1). This made no sense. Truman
wasn’t an engineer or scientist. What was the purpose of so much material going
to him? It sounded to me like it would have been from Marshall to Roosevelt
about the MAGIC material being processed by the ton after we broke the Japanese
codes during WW 2. I was also concerned by the recently discovered “machines”
and so much “product” being received every day. Sounded very much like what
would have been a letter from General Marshall to President Roosevelt during WW 2
talking about the “intelligence product” of code breaking using a cipher
machine.
My suspicions were confirmed when I discovered the original (see Figure 2), from
Marshall to Roosevelt, about MAGIC, in the readily available book “The American
MAGIC” in the University of New Brunswick Library not far from the very
important book “Wedemeyer Reports” by General Albert C. Wedemeyer.
On the other hand there was one which I thought was genuine because some
regulations which were noted in an item to C. Humelsine matched info turned up
by Larry Bryant at the Pentagon. The signature was Humelsine’s according to his
wife (see Figure 3). Marshall was in New York according to the archives, hence the need for
using the referenced secret telephone. (But then look carefully at Figure 4, clearly an
emulation.) There were a number that were
questionable. A real breakthrough came when I asked for an opinion from
Archivist Larry Bland at the Marshall Archives about a letter supposedly from
Marshall to Humelsine (see Figure 5).
He immediately recognized it as a takeoff
on a famous letter (see Figure 6, also from Lewin’s book) from Marshall to
Governor Thomas Dewey (the Republican Candidate for President in the election of
1944) trying to get Dewey not to make any charges that we had broken the
Japanese codes since that would lead to their being changed and would cost many lives.
Marshall noted that he couldn’t be seen with Dewey. The emulation said he
couldn’t be seen with Humelsine!! But Humelsine had been his executive secretary
during WW 2 and was again playing that role to Marshall as Secretary of State.
They saw each other almost every day. Also it was addressed “Dear Carl:” but
Marshall essentially never used first names except for contemporaries. Marshall
was decades older than Humelsine.
This was a real break. I also asked Bland if he could see any reason why General
Albert C. Wedemeyer (his signature is on one of the Cooper documents) should be
connected with MJ-12. His field was China. He had served there during WW 2 and
was sent in 1947 to make a study about what the effects would be if the US did
or did not get heavily involved in fighting the communists. Bland agreed that he
couldn’t see the connection either. He mentioned that there was an entire book
"Wedemeyer Reports” (Ref. 16). I located it at the nearby University of New
Brunswick Library. Almost immediately I found three documents that were the
models for three phony emulations. The technique was straightforward. Retype an
existing document with an old typewriter, making a few changes (dates etc.) to
conceal the chicanery, scan or Xerox the handwritten portions of documents,
combine, and voila, a genuine-looking phony. I checked other books at the
library and sure enough the book “The American Magic” had both the original of
the Dewey letter (Figure 6) and the original Marshall Magic letter (Figure 2).
Bob Wood had located the original (Figure 4) of the letter supposedly from
Marshall to Truman via Humelsine letter. It was from Marshall to Truman about
Wedemeyer, not Twining. (Figure 4). I hadn’t paid attention to the fact that I
knew from Twining’s pilot log that he flew to DC on Sept. 26, not Sept. 25.
Almost all of the phony documents not only had word-for-word portions of the
original, but the handwritten items fit right on top. Even though there was a
Truman signature, a handwritten date (July 9, 1947) and “I approve.” Spacing was
perfect. See the emulation (Figure 7) of a supposed July 9 Directive to General
Twining. Compare it to the Genuine item from Wedemeyer’s book (Figure 8). A
number of the non-emulation documents had direct quotes from the phony ones
establishing that they were phony as well.
One of the phony documents (Figure 9) had some
handwritten portions from two documents that I had copied at the Marshall
Archives with Truman saying “I approve” or “holding for further study” etc. I
had sent off copies of the 23 sign offs I had collected to some people including
Tim Cooper. Also, all had mistakes in the text that made no sense such as “when
finished in New Mexico go to Sandia.”
This was to Twining, an emulation of a real directive to Wedemeyer in which it was said
"when finished in China go to Korea.” Korea is not in China, but Sandia is in New
Mexico. The handwritten date on the Wedemeyer directive (which according to Ref. 16, he
wrote) is July 9. But Twining went to New Mexico on July 7. It
makes sense for Wedmeyer to take along specialists from State, Treasury, the Navy
because he had to look at the total Chinese picture. Not only would those people make no
sense as a part of the Twining expedition, but we know who went with Twining from an
article in the Alamogordo paper saying Twining had made a routine inspection of
Alomogordo Army Air Field (later Holloman AFB).
The fraudulence is further noted by the supposed letter from Twining to the
President dated Sept. 19 (see Figure 10) about presenting his findings. Compare
the almost identical wording to that of the real items from Wedemeyer to
the President’s Office. (Figure 11). Twining’s flight log proves he was only gone
from July 7 - July 11 (hardly 2 months). Could Twining’s small group really have
generated the same exact number of documents — 1200 — as Wedemeyer’s?
