The Octopus and Kim Philby
One stand out name from Danny Casolaro’s ‘Octopus’ cast of characters for which much is known about with respect to espionage and treachery, but not much is known about with respect to his KGB ‘Active Measures’ work from his defection in 1963 to his death in 1988, is Harold Adrian Russell "Kim" Philby. While many of his fellow collaborators in the Cambridge Spy Ring have public MI5 files with respect to their espionage activities at Kew National Archives, Kim Philby has none.
With Danny Casolaro’s death having been actively investigated by the FBI as recently as 2017, and given the suspicious circumstances around his alleged ‘suicide’, and the subsequent directly relevant revelations with respect to PROMIS software’s reaplcement, PRISM, as revealed by Edward Snowden, and Robert Maxwell’s involvement in the sale of PROMIS software via Israel, and how that relates further to the activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, further investigation is very much in the public interest.
The above excerpt is the only timeline of events leading up to Kim Philby’s defection comes from the files of Flora Solomon, whom Philby was apparently rather infatuated with as a young man. The ‘Victor’ mentioned above is none other than Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild, father of Jacob, the 4th Baron Rothschild.
Since Casolaro’s death in 1991, author Roland Perry published ‘The Fifth Man’, Yuri Modin French Edition ‘Mes Camarades de Cambridge’, shedding new light on Philby in relation to the broader social, professional and geopolitical context of Philby’s role in Danny Casolaro’s narrative.
The Rothschild Connection
While Victor Rothschild was a suspect and was investigated by MI5 with respect to his activities with the Cambridge Spy Ring, and his background at Trinity College, Cambridge as part of the Cambridge Apostles, of which John Cairncross, Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt were also members, the details of his investigation files amount to mostly circumstantial evidence and singular accusations.
The most substantial of these accusations come from the nuclear scientist Dr Keturah Little. There is no doubt that British nuclear research, particularly with respect to modular Thorium molten salt reactor research, was wound down under Victor Rothschild’s tenure a science advisor to the government, but further evidence pertaining to Keturah Little’s accusations were only followed up by Roland Perry, not MI5. Someone didn’t do their job properly and it probably wasn’t Mr Perry nor Ms Little, that’s all that can be said of that. George Orwell named Solly Zuckerman on his infamous list of Stalinist sympathizers also. Boomers Booming wasn’t the only thing that began in 1971, but it probably was a significant thing that started to happen then.
Some people say that ‘X’ marks the spot, others disagree. Anyone who’s had to work for a Generation X boss would know what I mean, I believe.
Exclamation is indeed required.
Again unfounded accusations, but people who are banned from Youtube such as Brendan O’Connell who make a living from making these accusations still in the current year might argue otherwise. I, myself, cannot comment otherwise.
What we can sure of, is that Victor Rothschild started the culture of ‘Publish or Perish’ and Capitalist Realism, as described by Mark Fisher and Philip Mirowski, in academia. Rothschild tried to ‘marketize’ knowledge, according to the theories of Hayek and Keynes, but that market never defined the product, the target demographic, what was being sold or how. Perhaps the sell for Victor Rothschild was Britain’s nuclear secrets to Israel and Russia, that would at least provide him with a rationale according to self interest, but it’s impossible to glean more than that, because we all know that neoliberalism destroyed knowledge anyway.
Victor Rothschild also clearly knew what the rules were, as a former MI5 employee, but sometimes made sure to flout them to make a point, this particular point, about all these important people that the humble Peter Wright, author of Spycatcher, which definitely wasn’t about Victor Rothschild at all, no way, could clearly never have gotten an audience with without him.
Victor Rothschild’s first born son and heir, Amschell, also killed himself himself, just like Jeffrey Epstein or Danny Casolaro. This is because Amschell was soft and lacked a killer instinct and because he loved his mummy too much and got depressed when she died and then strangled himself with his own dressing gown. Jacob, the other son, however, who does have the ruthless killer instinct, didn’t kill himself, he’s still alive and he’s the 4th Baron Rothschild now.
Before he totally definitely killed himself, Amschell Rothschild also enjoyed holidays in New Hampshire, just like Ghislaine Maxwell.
New Hampshire today is perhaps the the most putrid sewer of organised criminality, fentanyl trafficking and money laundering on this planet, and was where businessman Mike Gill uncovered what became the Pandora Papers, and where all the ‘libertarians’ and ‘freedom fighters’ sold him out for profit. But because MURKA and muh freedom and whatnot, Americans don’t like speaking about that, they view it as anti-American, which is basically communism or tyranny, they love the truth until the truth becomes about money, their Lord and Savior in which they are wholeheartedly bound to trust, so let’s just keep this story on the rails for now.
Anyway, some people might say that 23 St James’ Place is priceless, but really it’s probably mortgaged via an offshore trust trust fund in the Cayman Islands and leased backed on a tax-advantageous basis by whoever needs the address at the time. That’s my theory, anyway.
And maybe that mortgage is a soft 100 year mortgage with no money down. That’s up to the UK Home Office and they already decided in 2017 according to the official records.
Katz, thankfully minus James Corden
And maybe MI5 are right, and really it always had more to do with pride than security all along.
And back to Kim Philby, because we’re going off on too many tangents here. Philby was named by Danny Casolaro, but he’s not named in the K2 series of Soviet Spies by MI5 at Kew National Archives, and this makes no sense yet. But it will begin to make sense within the context of Dr. Rolf/Rudolf/ph[o] Katz. Dr Katz was no ordinary man, he was an extraordinary man: a triple agent, a quadruple agent even, an economist, a banker, a journalist, a bureaucrat, a technocrat, a socialite, a man of means, and not only that, but he also had extraordinarily good teeth. The UK Home Office felt the need to keep this man’s story under lock and key for 100 years, but it’s far too interesting and life is far too short for that in my view.
Rudolph Katz first appears in the system in September 1933, which is where the confusion between three men, all with the same surname, all probably impersonating each other with forged documentation and forged signatures.
The first off the three Katzes to chalk off the list is the most famous one, Otto Katz, who was on the Hollywood side of the business, thought to be the basis of the character Victor Lazslo in the 1942 classic Casablanca. He assumed the nom de plume ‘Andre Simone’ as a writer, most prestigiously as editor of the left wing Czech newspaper Rudé Právo, but most notoriously at the Slánský show trial where he was sentenced to death in 1952. Thus we can be reasonably sure that any other Katz known to have been alive after 1952 is not Otto Katz.
Otto Katz originally came to the UK to organize an independent inquiry into the Reischstag Fire with the help of Ellen Wilkinson MP. From his MI5 files it’s clear that Katz associated and corresponded with several high profile left wing and communist intellectuals, politicians and activists while in the UK and Europe including but not limited to: Dora Fabian, Willi Münzenberg, Kurt Rosenfeld, Nico Rost, Max Hodann, Babette Gross, Dennis Pritt MP (who took issue with William Dennis Kendall MP, named by Cheri Seymour in her Vortex Affidavit, but perhaps more on that later), Isabel Brown, Rudolf Feistmann and Harold Laski (on Orwell’s list).
Otto Katz left the UK for the USA via France for the last time in 1938. In 1936 he helped to found the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League, which later became The American League Against War and Fascism. It is strongly suspected, but has never been proven, that he was Ramón Mercader’s handler with respect to the assassination of Leon Trotsky in Mexico on August 21st 1940.
It wasn’t long before MI5, in 1933, also realized that Otto and Rudolph Katz were two different people. Rudolph Katz was interviewed with respect to his background by the Federal Bureau of Investigation at some time between 1957 and 1971, they leave out a very large swathe of his CV, however.
Under intense interrogation for being both a suspected Gestapo and Soviet spy, the FBI leave out Rudolph Katz’ history between 1940 and 1951, however the CIA, or rather the OSS as it was known at the time, in hindsight, do give us a good amount of insight into what Rudolph Katz, the Argentinian national, during the times of the ‘Infamous Decade’ in Argentina. The relevant links can be found in the list of known third communist international personnel from 1950 and also in this a series of OSS lists of high profile Nazis, where Rudolph Katz is listed as an OSS intelligence functionary. How Rudolph Katz might have known so much about the Nazis in his position as a paid agent of both James de Rothschild and Victor Rothschild’s mother from 23 St James’ Place might only make sense, in terms of rational self interest, within the context of Christian Rakovsky’s revalations in ‘Sinfonfa en Rojo Mayor’. Alas I’m not presenting economics today, just facts.
One thing Rudolph Katz was doing during the ‘Infamous Decade’ in Argentina was openly selling the UK military weapons designed and licensed from American manufacturers, and manufactured in Argentina directly in the open, in order to bypass the neutrality of the formative Military Industrial Complex with respect to war, like it was just normal, in collaboration with Dr Herbert Hoffman, a wealthy Germano-Swiss industrialist and financier.
One important thing to remember about the OSS in the early 1940s prior to and just after Pearl Harbour, was that their activities were largely directed by British Security Coordination. Because of neutrality acts, the SIS MI6, the same SIS MI6 that Robert Maxwell asked for seed funding for his media empire in 1945, and the FBI were forced to break official liaison.
This was also the time that US Navy Intelligence were beginning to forge strong relationships with the Italian and Jewish Mafias in New York, via Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano.
And, of course, Dr Rudolph Katz was very closely affiliated with Cambridge Spy Ring prime mover, Guy Burgess, and alleged member Victor Rothschild, all along.
Perhaps this is why the MI5 files of Morgan Goronwy Rees, former Principle of Aberystwyth University, where King Charles III studied Welsh and Welsh history, who seemed to know the most about the whole sordid mess, are the most redacted of all. Rees names Rudolph Katz as Burgess’ controller in the late 1930s, yet by the early 1940s, in between shilling for the formative Military Industrial Complex via Argentina, he’s an OSS functionary and then by 1948 a New York Banker. What sort of character arc is that?
It does begin to make more sense when, in 1952, following his rise from arms dealer to OSS functionary to New York Banker, MI5 finally worked about that Rudolph Katz was taking a 50% cut of the deal between Victor Rothschild’s mother, Guy Burgess and whatever they were investing in, which was probably war and derivatives of war.
However the story gets even weirder, because member how the CIA used to list Rudolph Katz as a member of the Third Communist International before his Road to Damascus moment via British Security Coordination and the OSS to reform a reformed and wholly converted New York Banker? Because both British and American Intelligence knew all along that that was the case, in a very big way.
On the 5th of May 1933, no less, an accurate description of Rudolph Katz was given to MI5, as the military uniformed Soviet Agent code-named ‘LUGWIG’, who was known at the time to be an accomplice of the agent ‘MAXIMOV’.
Description of LUDWIG is detailed below. MAXIMOV, who is also likely very influential and important, will be addressed later.
He gives one the impression of a businessman. He has a good voice and is fond of singing. Round face, black smooth hair. Remarkably good teeth and fond of showing them. Has a great talent for fitting himself to his surroundings wherever he may be.
One important thing to remember about the Soviet GOSPLAN system, is that regardless of the outcome of conflict, many of its tenets were adopted by Western financial markets, and form the basis of neoliberal global financial capitalism as we know it today. Victor Glushkov, one of the major founding intellectuals of GOSPLAN, influenced Wassily Leontif who, in turn influenced George Dantzig.
While most run of the mill Marxists are brain-dead NPC zombies, and it suits the CIA to paint them as that, screaming for mummy’s num nums and chopping off their own willies, let’s not forget that even today Nick Land’s philosophy, the philosophical underpinning of MAGA and the ethno-nationalist right wing in the 21st century, was originally influenced by Marxist critiques of capitalism and a strong foundational knowledge of the philosophical justifications of capitalism. The leading members of the Third Communist International in the early and mid twentieth century were no different in this way. They weren’t stupid people, and some of them actually had very good ideas as well.
And let’s also not forget that Dr. Rudolph Katz, the humble New York Banker had a round face with black smooth hair and remarkably good teeth.
So it looks a lot like Agent LUDWIG of the KGB, Dr. Rudolph Katz, was in business with Victor Rothschild and was also Guy Burgess’ handler.
Anthony Blunt, another member of the Cambridge Spy Ring, then has some interesting things to say about Rudolph Katz proclivities for gaining political influence, via the story of Edouard Pfeiffer a la Jeffrey Epstein.
Pfeiffer also had a relationship in the 1930s with two equally homosexual Britons, John Macnamara , a pro-German Conservative parliamentarian, and his parliamentary assistant since 1935, Guy Burgess . Pfeiffer invited them to fine parties at his Parisian home or in nightclubs 77 . Anglo-Saxon authors evoke the travels to Paris of Burgess; there he meets Pfeiffer who takes him with two members of the French cabinet to a brothel for homosexuals.
Again, the only way this ‘elaborate bluff’ makes sense is within the context of Christian Rakovsky’s revalations in ‘Sinfonfa en Rojo Mayor’. Within that context Rudolph Katz could be all things to all people as long as the banks provided him with the means to be so. In addition to this it’s important to remember that when banks don’t have the means these days, they get bailed out by the taxpayer and then close the accounts of their perceived political opponents. So in this way Rudolph Katz is pulling no more of an elaborate bluff than the banks did in 2008, than they’ve already been proven to be capable of.
Guy Burgess was clearly not cultivating Rudolph Katz, Rudolph Katz was cultivating Guy Burgess, because homosexuality was a crime in those times, and Rudolph Katz was providing the rent boys on tap for whoever so desired them. It’s not complicated, but somehow for our intelligence agencies managing the security of our nation, it’s always too complicated. Instead of questioning these sorts of things for what they are we all need to wave a rainbow flag and support LGBTQ+ Blackmail Black Ops of taxpayer funded whatever, because otherwise the population might increase or something.
Is that boat a Rolls Royce though? Nobody ever asked that question, but greater context they should have imho.
And while Rudolph Katz was cultivating Guy Burgess and advising Victor Rothschild’s mother to buy and sell shares, both of them were cultivating none other than Winston Churchill in the middle of World War II.
Thank you America for interrogating this suspect who was also just a humble OSS functionary and New York Banker who totally wasn’t a communist any more and totally didn’t pay for Guy Burgess’ rent boys in Paris nor comprise him nor groom him for the Soviet Union at all. You are all beyond suspicion, and your ideology is all completely coherent, just like the CIA or the DOJ or the CIA or any of your other three letter acronym agencies that rule over you all.
Rudolph Katz clearly dindunuffin except get promoted from humble New York banker to humble United Nations technocrat in Latin America, humbly implementing the new normal in South America following World War II, that totally wasn’t ‘Normalisation’ in terms of KGB Active Measures, it was just ‘Manifest Destiny’, it was the USA version, not the KGB version, this much is clear.
Then, according to Danny Casolaro’s story, somehow Ari Ben Menashe turns up in South America and Robert Maxwell starts selling PROMIS software to CIA supported tin pot banana republic dictators in order to commit mass murder against dissidents. But anyway, more on that later. What’s most important is that they’re called the Falkland Islands and they’re British, and whoever disagrees with that can take it up via appropriate channels.
Meanwhile, while the CIA were playing silly buggers with respect to the real identities and intentions of both Rudolph and Otto Katz in 1951, intelligence agents in Czechoslovakia, probably getting wind that someone’s head was on the block over all this stuff, which turned out to be Otto Katz’ head in 1952, were still trying to work it out.
And then, to pile insult on injury, in 1952 the Americans were still pretending like they didn’t know and hiding the facts.
This ‘Boris and Rolf’ faction was always precisely the same as the ‘LUDWIG and MAXIMOV’ faction from 1933. The most likely candidate for MAXIMOV was identified as the Chief Communications Officer of the Chinese Communist Party in 1935 and was directly connected to this ‘Rolf and Boris’ faction.
Joseph Walden, as he identified himself at the time with four stolen passports, also identified as Maksim Rivosh and Abramov, fitting the nickname ‘Max’ and the codename ‘MAXIMOV’ and was also closely connected with the ‘Rolf and Boris’ faction in Paris. Thick set, behind his disguise, he fits the bill of a heavy industry commissariat, not afraid of getting stuck into the nitty gritty.
Also, just in terms of the humble New York banking background of his co-conspirator LUDWIG, Communist China has made a lot of money for global neoliberal finance, especially since the 1990s, so the investment paid off.
I will hold off final judgement for part 2 of this series, because there is a third Katz, a Joseph Katz, suspected Soviet Spy in Washington DC, whose MI5 Files, here and here I have had to request an electronic copy of from Kew Archives. In the meantime I leave readers with excerpts from the CIA’s own assessment of the members of the Third Communist International in 1950, and the British Intelligence report on the 1935 Shanghai incident.
The Chinese Communist Party tells its own people that it was founded by humble workers in the French district of Shanghai in the 1920s. Somehow the links to international banking interests and Comintern agents from Europe are left out of that story. Maybe we need new stories.
In Part 2
It’s my strong belief that this British Special Operations Executive file under the name of a certain ‘Johannes Hoch'‘ born 10/6/1911, is in fact that of Robert Maxwell.
Regardless if it’s not, there’s something extraordinarly fishy about Robert Maxwell’s early life story. A boy leaves home from his farming village during World War II aged 16, by aged 22 the SOE and MI6 are helping him to run the black market in post-war Berlin, he’s asking them for the seed funding for his publishing business, he’s an openly admitted KGB intelligence asset, and, according to Lyndon Larouche, holds the rank of Major. Anyone who buys that story probably bought the Daily Mirror in the 1980s as well.
Robert Maxwell’s FBI files aren’t getting any more declassified, either, and Whitney Webb lays out what their family business always was to begin with: espionage.
Also, Victor Rothschild’s influence continued to grow after World War 2 alongside that of Robert Maxwell. Victor Rothschild advised the alleged homosexual child sex offender Edward Heath, and Jimmy Savile’s biggest fan, Margaret Thatcher. If the antics of those on his payroll are anything to go by, that was no coincidence either.
Also we will explore why investigative and citizen journalism are just as, if not more important, than the three letter alphabet people agencies, at defending rule of law, justice, peace and civil liberties. When Kim Philby defected, these people started to shit themselves and become paranoid, instead of following the money and the engineering physical reality in this country, with experience and competence, they created more files, more lists, more ‘connections’, which only created more trap doors, more back doors, more exploits. They grew tentacles and poison fangs when they should have started to grow a spine and a pair of testicles.
Until next time, TTFN.
