note from the archivist:
Jimmy did not write episode notes for the remaining episodes. However, an explanation is required. umgelenkt. Jimmy wrote these episodes, recorded them, and then began writing a book on WerBell. He wrote expanded the podcast manuscript into a book (and fixed some errors) but was required to stop writing for personal reasons. Jimmy did not stop due to what he found.
additional note: Jimmy was not able to devote enough time to the Cotton Club connections. Jimmy was able to dig up much more about Senator Larry McDonald's bizarre kayfabe relationship to Trotskyism, LaRouche, and WerBell. McDonald's economic interests may also give a tip-off to this network.

Premium Episode 117: the World of Mitch WerBell III pt. 17 - Camp Cobray and the LaRouche Cult

note from the archivist:
Jimmy did not write episode notes for the remaining episodes. However, an explanation is required. umgelenkt. Jimmy wrote these episodes, recorded them, and then began writing a book on WerBell. He wrote expanded the podcast manuscript into a book (and fixed some errors) but was required to stop writing for personal reasons. Jimmy did not stop due to what he found.
additional note: There is much, much, much more to the story of the Trot-LaRouche-right-wing ties. There was a gigantic rabbit hole involving Roy Frankhouser. Frankhouser, a paratrooper who appeared to be brainwashed (he reminded Jimmy of McVeigh), infiltrated both Trot orgs and the Klan, and acted as an agent provocateur.
Further, to understand this you should read KEN DUGGAN: LAROUCHE’S FAVORITE SATANIST? and The Swarmy Life and Times of the NCLC by Gregory F. Rose and Unity Now! to understand Duggan, Madole, and the bizarre entryist NCLC game being played between the farthest right wing elements, esoteric Nazism, and the fucking LaRouchians. Robert Miles was, or pretended to be from an intergenerational Cathar family and was raised in a White Russian fascist youth group. Jimmy suspects WerBell may have had contact with this group as well.
Nearly every episode raised the prospect of a new criminal nexus with whom WerBell interacted. Everything got too hot.

additional note: As with so many people in this story, Vesco was as interesting as WerBell. Jimmy clarified much of the Vesco sections in his manuscript. Perhaps the funniest anecdote from Vesco's early career involved him fronting a smaller scam for the actual Rothschilds.

Songs:
the original song for this episode was H*vana by C*mila C*bello feat. Y*ung Th*g. it's the perfect song for the episode but the jackbooted thugs at DMCA and National Music Publishers' Association have been striking down fair use on my episodes left and right. I should have known better than to use a Miami Cuban's songs when talking about this particular topic. also, Y*ung Th*g sacrificed a goat - look it up

additional note: Jimmy found much more on Gordon Ingram who was very nearly as interesting as WerBell. Perhaps the most interesting fact was that the Slaves of Satan outlaw motorcycle club was interested in manufacturing the MAC-10. As it turns out, the MC were largely technicians aerospace/defense jobs (who also had the machine tool expertise to actually manufacture the guns). Ingram seriously considered this offer before WerBell appeared and their partnership eventually formed.

Additional note: Jimmy was able to confirm that Mitchell Livingstone WerBell III was not Russian or Scottish but in fact Jewish on both paternal and maternal sides. This was confirmed in the 1920 census which listed their mother tongue as Hebrew and his parents coming from Poland/Romania/Russia. The 1930 census listed his parents' origins as Odessa, Russia. Further, WerBell's grandparents were listed as speaking "Russian Yiddish" in the 1910 census, and were buried in Har Nebo Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia. There is no doubt that Mitch WerBell III was Jewish.
The implications are truly staggering. WerBell portrayed himself as Russian and Scottish, never Jewish, and in fact his family pretended to be Russian nobility. The whole white Russian thing. Kevin Coogan's books on Goleniewski, Yockey, and National Bolshevism are the keys to understanding this bizarre milieu of crypto-Jewish fascists. It also borders into the exact same territory as the fictional chivalric orders of the SoSJ and SoM that Coogan and Steven Snider have been studying.
There was never any clear indication whether WerBell (or his sons) even knew he was Jewish, although it is unlikely that he was completely ignorant given his connections to Rich's Department store, advertising, his time in China, and the Israelis generally.
Jimmy never found any indication that WerBell was antisemitic although he was constantly interacting with extreme far-right actors who were. It raises new questions about some of his interactions with Israeli military officials (episode 11), as well as the nature of his interactions with these extreme far-right groups.
The fact that WerBell was Jewish raises many more questions than answers, and the question was never fully resolved before Jimmy discontinued his project. This was only one of several bizarre revelations between Jimmy writing the podcast and writing the book.
