[The article below comes from Miles Mathis. Many times I disagree with his analysis. But some of his analyses are excellent. And this is one of them. He does some digging and finds all kinds of stuff that shows that there are a bunch of fishy things going on with Pompeo. Officially, he's of Italian descent. But he could well be a JEW. I will confirm this, because I downloaded a video quite a few months ago where Pompeo was talking about Jews and anti-Semitism and Pompeo WAS AMONG JEWS AND HE WAS WEARING THE JEWISH YAMULKA – that disgusting little Jewish "hat". I just need to find the video again. But POMPEO was among Jews wearing the Jew hat. So I I am certain he's Jewish. The Jews take that disgusting little hat seriously, and they don't just let you wear it. I know from the times when I had a Jewish friend. Pompeo – He's a JEW. Whether he was born one, or whether he converted, I don't know. But he IS A JEW. Jan]

Who is Mike Pompeo?

by Jack in the Antipodes

11 November 2020

It seems like an odd thing to be talking about the US Secretary of State at a time like this, but Mike
Pompeo is in some ways the most interesting person left in Donald Trump’s inner circle. So I want to
give some background and then put into some context a couple of things he’s said recently that should
have raised more interest than they did.

First up, Wikipedia says that he was born on 30 December 1963 to parents Wayne Pompeo and
Dorothy (nee Mercer). It doesn’t say what his parents did for a living but their family tree shows up
nothing remarkable to my untrained eye, other than a great-great-grandmother on his mother’s side
who was a Bechtel, and a great-grandfather on his mother’s side who was called Ulysses Grant Mercer.
As Ulysses was born in 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, I’d guess that it was a tribute
to General Grant, who would have had the celebrity status in those days that we attribute to movie
stars in the present. Miles: no, more likely they were related. That is what we have always found.
And Bechtel links us to the Bechtel Corporation, the largest construction company in the US, which
built the nuclear plants including Three Mile Island. It was founded by Warren Abraham Bechtel,
Jewish, who on his maternal side was also a Bentz and an Alspach. Also a Greenawalt and a Moyer
on this father’s side. The current head of Bechtel, Riley Bechtel, also sits on the board of
JPMorganChase, the Trilateral Commission, and the National Petroleum Council.

Pompeo’s ancestors on his father’s side seem to be exclusively Italian and according to Wikipedia his
paternal great-grandparents parents migrated separately from a small commune in the Abruzzo region,
although they’re not included in the Geneanet family tree.

Rather than take up space here describing his unremarkable origins you can go to Geneanet and see it
for yourself at either of the two links below. If anyone sees anything that rings a bell you can let Miles
know.

[Added November 12: See Pompeo’s page at Geneanet, curated by our man Tim Dowling. That
alone is a huge red flag. Then you get another with his maternal grandmother, Grace Mae
DOUGLASS. Douglases were the kingmakers of Scotland, related to the royal Stewarts. Grace Mae
married a Mercer. Mercers of the peerage are related to the Stewarts, as well as the Murrays,
Grays, Elphinstones, etc. Pompeo is also a Taylor and a Bennett. The Bennetts lead us back to the
Masons. We also link to the surnames Willis, Thatcher, Armstrong and Maris. Pompeo is a close
cousin of Garner Ted Armstrong. I remind you that we saw these Mercers in my paper on Thomas
Jefferson (part 2), where we found Tallyrand was a Mercer, linking him to the Stanleys, Earls of
Derby.

Also see the family photo posted at Find a Grave, listing a man named Bob Zimmerman. That’s Bob
Dylan’s real name.]

[Added November 15: a reader just drew my attention to the fact that other sites contradict Tim
Dowling at Geneanet on Pompeo's paternal line. According the obituary posted at Fairhaven
Memorial Party and Mortuary, Pompeo's grandfather was not Harry Pompeo, but Salvatore Pompeo.
His grandmother was not Fay Brandolino, but Gladys Mozell Cullender, daughter of Joseph Smith
Cullender and Parolee Catherine Ivey. I would assume “Parolee” is not a name, it is a designation,
meaning she had been in jail. We have to switch from Ancestry to Findagrave for more information.
There we find her name was Catherina Ivey, daughter of a Boyd, granddaughter of a Hale and a
Bacon. The Bacons go back to an Isaac Bacon of Berks Co, PA, whose mother was a Neuman from
Germany. These Bacons were related to the Bacons of CT, who hale directly back to Sir John Bacon
of Suffolk, great-grandfather of Sir Francis Bacon.

The surname Cullender links us to witch trials, but not Salem. The Cullenders didn't come to MA
until the 1800s. They were involved in the Bury St. Edmunds witch trials of Suffolk, England, in
1662. The Cullenders were not poor peasants, they were the owners of one of the largest cotton
companies in England: Lees, Millington and Cullender of Manchester. Joseph Smith Cullender is
related to Comptons, Burrs, Davidsons, Phillips, Greens, and Batemans. This indicates he was Jewish,
so we may have some link there to the Mormon Joseph Smith. That Joseph Smith was a Mack and a
Gates, so you see why Dowling may be scrubbing that line in Pompeo's genealogy at Geneanet.
The surname Cullender was originally Callender, linking us back to the Livingstons, Earls of
Callendar. This also links us again to the Grahams, Forbes, Hays, Drummonds, Stuarts, etc. The 4 th
Earl of Callendar was kicked out the peerage and the country in 1715 after the Uprising, losing his
lands to the Hamiltons. So one line of the Livingstons changed their name to Callender and came to
America, the spelling later becoming Cullender. This is proved by their continued links to the Boyds,
as we just saw. The Boyds, Earls of Kilmarnock (below), were attainted at the same time as the
Livingstons, and came to America with them.]
Pompeo graduated from Los Amigos High School in Fountain Valley, Orange County, California.
That rings the first bell of the day. I’m not from that part of the world but Wikipedia describes
Fountain Valley as upper-middle class. As of 2000 the median household income was more than
$90,000 and the black population was only 1.11 percent of the total. It’s considered a classic
commuter town.
Pompeo’s father died this year and according to his obituary he worked for Standard Pressed Steel
(SPS) for close to 50 years, as an inside salesman and production control manager. Whatever he did
for a living it was enough for them to live in a prosperous commuter town in the heart of some of the
wealthiest parts of California and therefore the country. It was solidly Republican and socially
conservative, just the sort of place to stir certain ambitions.
After high school graduation Pompeo went to West Point and graduated there at the top of his class.
Again, I’m not from around there but I think I’m right in saying that even the entrance exams to West
Point are intensely competitive, and to come out on top after four gruelling years of study and military
training suggests someone who is not only very smart but also very driven.
Just by comparison, George Armstrong Custer came last in his class (at the time the title given to the
biggest loser was ‘the Goat’). But Custer was from the families so he knew he was going to get ahead
regardless, so why stress out over getting good grades. Another who came last in his class was George
Pickett of Pickett’s Charge fame at the Battle of Gettysburg. In fact there six Goats at Gettysburg,
three on each side.
Other famous people who went to West Point and failed to cover themselves in glory were Edgar
Allen Poe (kicked out after six months for not showing up to assembly) and James McNeill Whistler
(for failing chemistry by identifying silicon as a gas). Whistler became an artist, so not much to see
there. Another who came top of the class and went on to some sort of fame was Douglas MacArthur,
while Robert E. Lee came second in his year.
So Pompeo, who had majored in engineering management, was assigned as an armour officer with the
Seventh Cavalry in West Germany. He left the army in 1991 with the rank of captain, which is hardly
a stellar military career, but the US wasn’t invading anyone around that time so chances of some real
action wouldn’t have come until the first Iraq War that kicked off when Iraq invaded Kuwait in
August 1990, and ended in February 1991. Not really a war, more like a legally sanctioned massacre.
In 1994 he graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School. Pompeo served as one of
the 78 editors of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy and on the 81-member board of editors
of the Harvard Law Review. Again, a man driven to achieve and also to make connections for the
future. On graduation he went to work at Williams and Connolly in Washington DC. For those who
don’t already know, this is not just any law firm. It was founded by Edward Bennett Williams, who is
probably worth an in-depth look in his own right, and in 2019 it was ranked the most selective law
firm in the United States. Often, lawyers from the firm will complete clerkships with federal judges
prior to joining the firm. In 2015, the firm raised starting salaries to $200,000 for first-year associates,
the highest base salary in the country.
So they could take their pick and Mike Pompeo, again, just marched in there. According to
Wikipedia: Williams & Connolly partner Robert Barnett has represented Barack Obama, Bill
Clinton, George W. Bush, James Patterson, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush,
Bob Woodward, Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Alan Greenspan, Katharine Graham, Ben Bernanke, Paul
Ryan, Tim Russert, Barbra Streisand, Jack Welch, Khaled Hosseini, Bill Walton, Mitch McConnell,
Jake Tapper, and many others.
High-profile cases include the successful defence of US President Clinton’s impeachment,
representation of Enron’s law firm Vinson & Elkins, representation of the motion picture studios in
the Kazaa/Grokster file-trading litigation, defence of the Vioxx cases, and counsel for the plaintiff
states in the United States v. Microsoft antitrust remedy trial. The firm represented Colonel Oliver
North during the Iran-Contra Affair and John Hinckley, the would-be assassin of Ronald Reagan.
The firm’s corporate clients include Google, Disney, Samsung, Intel, Bank of America, The Carlyle
Group, Medtronic, Genentech, Eli Lilly, and 21st Century Fox. Just briefly on Edward Williams
though, Wikipedia makes a point of mentioning that he was friends with Ben Bradlee and Robert
Maheu (otherwise known as IBM for Iron Bob Maheu), Howard Hughes’ close associate and
intelligence handler for many years.
He was also treasurer of the Democrat National Committee from 1974-77 and when he died in 1988
from colon cancer his funeral, according to Wikipedia, ‘was attended by most of Washington’s power
elite, including then-Vice President George H. W. Bush’. As the saying goes, the bigger the arsehole
the bigger the funeral.
I hope I’m not missing anything here. I’m avoiding pointing out the red flags because I assume by
now that Miles’ readers have educated themselves sufficiently by reading his other papers not to need
them. I’m just adding a few bits and pieces to provide context for what has been, by any measure, a
stellar career for Mike Pompeo in a variety of fields.
However, the law didn’t seem to hold sufficient fascination for him, even at such a prestigious and
lucrative place as Williams and Connolly so after four years in Washington he quit his job in 1998 and
moved to Wichita, Kansas. Again, I’m not from around there, but I do know that Wichita is an
aircraft production hub for both civilian and military types, as well as being home to McConnell Air
Force Base, which is a very big deal all on its own. So more red flags, if any are needed.
With no experience in the aviation industry Pompeo and three West Point friends, Brian Bulatao,
Ulrich Brechbuhl, and Michael Stradinger, moved to Wichita and ‘acquired three aircraft-part
manufacturers there (Aero Machine, Precision Profiling, B&B Machine) and in St Louis (Advance
Tool & Die), renaming the entity Thayer Aerospace after West Point superintendent Sylvanus
Thayer’. And here is where it starts to get really interesting.
Venture funding for the private organization included a nearly 20 percent investment from Koch
Industries as well as Dallas-based Cardinal Investment, and Bain & Company (Brechbuhl worked
for Bain at the time). Brechbuhl and Stradinger left the company shortly after it was founded, but
Pompeo and Bulatao continued. Remember all those names because we’ll see two of them again.
In 2006, he sold his interest in the company, which by then had been renamed Nex-Tech Aerospace,
to Highland Capital Management, which had clients including Lockheed Martin, Gulfstream
Aerospace, Cessna Aircraft, Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems and Raytheon Aircraft. Pompeo then became
president of Sentry International, an oilfield equipment manufacturer that was also a partner of Koch
Industries.
So there was Pompeo, trading his Washington job to move to the geographic heart of the country and
get deeply involved in high tech, aviation, and the oil business, and became a front man (what else
could you call it?) for the Koch brothers, who are a cottage industry for internet spooks all of their
own. You can read the profiles of Charles and David Koch in Wikipedia but they won’t really tell
you anything of real interest. People with an individual public wealth of more than $50 billion don’t
even have to ask people to write good things about them. David Koch died in 2019 and I’m sure he
had an enormous funeral with many nice things said about him.
Just so you know who Pompeo was mixing with: Koch Industries, Inc is an American multinational
corporation based in Wichita, Kansas. Its subsidiaries are involved in the manufacturing, refining,
and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, pulp
and paper, fertilisers, chemical technology equipment, ranching, finance, commodities trading, and
investing. Koch owns Infor, Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline,
Koch Fertiliser, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle Company, i360, and Guardian Industries.
The firm employs 120,000 people in 60 countries, with about half of its business in the United
States. The company is the largest non-Canadian landowner in the Athabasca oil sands. With annual
revenues of $110 billion by 2014, the company is the second largest privately held company in the
United States after Cargill.
Pompeo represented Kansas’s 4th congressional district from 2011 until his January 2017 appointment
to director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Again there is no mention of what motivated him to go
into politics any more than there is of what made him drop the law firm and move to Wichita. It must
have seemed like a good idea at the time, especially the significant drop in income.
Wikipedia says: In the 2010 election, Pompeo won the Republican primary for Kansas’s 4th District
congressional seat with 39 percent of the vote, defeating state senator Jean Schodorf (who received 24
percent) and two other candidates. Late in the primary, Schodorf began to surge in the polls,
prompting two outside groups – Common Sense Issues and Americans for Prosperity – to spend tens
of thousands of dollars in the campaign’s final days to attack Schodorf and support Pompeo.
Americans for Prosperity (AFP), founded in 2004, is a libertarian-conservative political advocacy
group in the United States funded by David Koch and Charles Koch. As the Koch brothers’ primary
political advocacy group, it is one of the most influential American conservative organisations. So
says Wikipedia. Which means when Pompeo looked like losing the primary the Koch bothers bailed
him out. He must owe them big time.
In the general election, Pompeo defeated Democratic nominee Raj Goyle, a member of the Kansas
House of Representatives. Pompeo received 59 percent of the vote (117,171 votes) to 36 percent for
Goyle (71,866). During Pompeo’s campaign, its affiliated Twitter account praised as a "good read" a
news article that called Goyle, his Indian-American opponent, a "turban topper" who "could be a
Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, etc who knows". Pompeo later apologised to Goyle for the tweet.
Pompeo received $80,000 in donations during the campaign from Koch Industries and its employees.
In the 2012 election, Pompeo defeated Democratic nominee Robert Tillman by a margin of 62–32
precent. Koch Industries gave Pompeo’s campaign $110,000. So let me sum this up for you.
Pompeo went from Washington to Wichita to be front man for the Koch brothers in the aviation
industry, and when the time came they bankrolled his election to the US Congress, thereby buying
themselves someone who would be the perfect insider. Yep, that’s about it.
Naturally he got himself appointed to the committees that would interest the Koch brothers: all related
to intelligence, energy and commerce. From there it was only natural that someone with Pompeo’s
smarts, his ambition and his right-wing views, would be tapped to head the CIA. His whole resume
reads like a man either grooming himself or, more likely, being groomed for a role in public life. I
doubt we’ve even seen a glimpse of the likely place he’s heading towards.
Pompeo was appointed as director the CIA in February 2017 and then as Secretary of State in April
2018. I’m not going into any of his ‘achievements’ in either of those posts because there is plenty on
the public record, but I will add this for those who don’t know some of the more arcane facts about the
role of Secretary of State.
For instance, did you know that ‘under federal law, the resignation of a president or of a vice president
is only valid if declared in writing, in an instrument delivered to the office of the secretary of state’?
As the highest-ranking member of the cabinet, the secretary of state is the third-highest official of the
executive branch of the federal government of the United States, after the president and vice president,
and is fourth in line to succeed the presidency, coming after the vice president, the speaker of the
House of Representatives, and the president pro tempore of the Senate.
So Pompeo is not only one of the people closest to President Trump, but he would be a key player in
any resolution of the on-going election boondoggle if it came to that. And just so you know that
Pompeo isn’t only relying on the Koch brothers or their descendants to give him guidance, he said in
2015 in a talk at a church, that ‘politics is a never-ending struggle … until the Rapture’. And to
another group in 2014 he said that ‘Jesus Christ as our saviour is truly the only solution for our world’.
Okay, and now to the point at hand. I don’t know if readers have seen or heard this, but in the early
days of the pandemic scam Pompeo and Trump were giving a press conference with the ‘Coronavirus
Task Force’ and Pompeo said something really odd. Answering a journalist’s question and in
reference to the Chinese government, he said: “We’re in a live exercise here.” To which Trump
said, loud enough to be heard: “Should have let us know.” Twice. Make of that what you will.

Then, only a day or so ago, he was giving as press conference and he was asked if the State
Department was preparing to engage with the Biden transition team and he replied that there would be
