A Hale Of Bullets Change American History - Part One
The Story Of The Hale Assassins That Changed Everything In US History
The story of the Hale Assassins is probably one you have never heard, but it is the most infamous family in United States history in terms of changing the course of American history through assassinations.
📌 Article Summary
George Webb presents a complex investigative theory asserting that the Hale family, particularly IB Hale and his sons, played a pivotal covert role in sabotaging President John F. Kennedy due to his opposition to Israel’s acquisition of the atomic bomb.
The Hales, tied to General Dynamics, allegedly planted surveillance devices, facilitated Lee Harvey Oswald's employment, and coordinated intelligence-linked operations in Texas during the TFX fighter contract scandal.
Webb connects this to organized crime, defense contractors like General Atomics and General Dynamics, and Israeli intelligence, arguing the Chicago Outfit and its frontmen like Sidney Korshak and Henry Crown covertly enabled Israel’s nuclear program by removing political obstacles, including JFK.
The article weaves together defense corruption, assassinations, and CIA-Mossad collaborations, portraying figures like Robert Allen Hale, Curtis LeMay, and Fred Korth as instruments in a deeper operation to secure Israel's bomb.
👤 People
Sidney Korshak
Mob lawyer for the Chicago Outfit, Korshak acted as the intermediary between organized crime, Hollywood, and defense industries. He helped launder mob money into defense and entertainment, particularly via General Dynamics and Las Vegas casinos. Webb casts Korshak as the linchpin connecting the Jewish mob (Meyer Lansky) to Israeli intelligence. He also allegedly used assassination and corporate espionage to transfer U.S. military secrets abroad.
Henry Crown
Industrialist and financier behind General Dynamics, Crown allegedly used mob connections to secure government contracts and supply advanced military hardware. Webb describes Crown as Korshak’s financial enabler and a primary driver behind the illicit transfer of nuclear technology to Israel. He was central in the TFX contract scandal and accused of sabotaging competitors through mob pressure. Crown’s influence extended into Chicago political and defense circles.
Robert Maheu
A CIA operative who managed Howard Hughes’s business empire, Maheu allegedly orchestrated plots to incapacitate Hughes and seize control of his wealth for defense and covert operations. He reportedly coordinated with Korshak and mobsters to funnel Hughes's resources into CIA and Israeli-aligned causes. Maheu is said to have hired Johnny Roselli to attempt to assassinate Castro under CIA orders. Webb links him to covert technology theft and sabotage in aerospace.
Howard Hughes
An eccentric billionaire and aviation mogul, Hughes is depicted as a victim of CIA and mob manipulation. After surviving a suspicious 1946 plane crash, he allegedly lost control of his empire to Robert Maheu and organized crime interests. Hughes's companies and casinos were repurposed to launder money and steal military technologies. His downfall is seen as a turning point in covert CIA-mob cooperation.
Curtis LeMay
U.S. Air Force General and advocate for the F-111 Aardvark in the TFX program. LeMay, initially favoring Boeing’s entry, was caught between political and military factions during the JFK administration. He was allegedly manipulated by Crown and Korshak into backing General Dynamics. LeMay’s connections to Kissinger and RAND further deepened his role in nuclear arms developments.
Donald Douglas
Founder of Douglas Aircraft and a key figure in the Cold War aerospace race. Allegedly connected to Henry Crown through corporate takeovers and mergers. His companies became involved in the wider military-industrial corruption outlined by Webb. Douglas's legacy is painted as tainted by espionage and mob influence.
David Lewis
Aerospace executive mentored by Douglas and involved in mergers tied to Crown and Korshak. Played a behind-the-scenes role in the transformation of defense contracting. Webb places him in the Crown-Korshak orbit as a facilitator of military-industrial sabotage. Lewis's decisions allegedly affected nuclear technology transfers.
Michael and Marshall Riconosciuto
Father and son connected to explosives and surveillance technologies. Marshall was a controversial intelligence figure who claimed knowledge of CIA-Mossad tech transfers. The Riconosciutos allegedly helped move stolen or covert technologies from U.S. labs to Israel. They are presented as nodes in the deep-state tech trafficking network.
Richard Nixon
Former President tied to mob lawyer Korshak and financier Henry Crown. Webb suggests Nixon’s rise was facilitated by mob-backed defense lobbying and his support for Israeli arms deals. Nixon allegedly played a passive role in the cover-up of technology transfer and the JFK assassination. His inner circle included individuals tied to espionage, corruption, and mob activity.
Sam Cohen
Nuclear physicist known for inventing the neutron bomb at RAND Corporation. Connected to LeMay and Kissinger, and indirectly linked to Israeli nuclear weapons development. Webb portrays Cohen as a figure whose work was appropriated for foreign intelligence use. His technology allegedly became part of the Israel bomb effort via mob-industrial connections.
Henry Kissinger
U.S. diplomat and national security advisor, Kissinger was deeply involved in Cold War arms policy and the Middle East. He maintained close ties with RAND, LeMay, and Israeli military strategists. Webb implies Kissinger helped legalize and protect the covert tech transfers from U.S. to Israel. He is part of the “acceptable elite” that sanitized mob-intelligence collaboration.
Nicholas J. Bua
Chicago federal judge allegedly friendly to mob interests and appointed to protect their operations after the death of an inconvenient judge. Webb portrays Bua as a deep-state actor placed to safeguard figures like Korshak. His career allegedly overlapped with intelligence corruption investigations. Bua is representative of judiciary compromise in Webb’s framework.
William Patrick Moriarty
Alleged associate of Nixon and Korshak tied to defense and nuclear espionage scandals. Possibly a cut-out or facilitator for mob-intelligence operations. His role is less defined but fits the pattern of insider political corruption. Webb uses Moriarty to illustrate Nixon-era continuity in covert arms policies.
Les Wexner
Modern retail billionaire linked to Jeffrey Epstein and accused by Webb of continuing the mob-Mossad covert funding legacy. Wexner allegedly inherited the role of Korshak in handling sensitive wealth tied to espionage and arms trafficking. Webb views Wexner as a key player in modern deep-state operations benefiting Israeli intelligence. His fortune allegedly funds covert influence operations globally.
Igor Kolomoisky
Ukrainian-Israeli oligarch and ally of Wexner, often accused of funding proxy wars and laundering funds through banks. Kolomoisky represents the post-Soviet extension of the Israeli-mafia intelligence complex. Webb portrays him as a modern safe haven for fugitive capital and corruption. His ties to Interpol evasion are presented as evidence of state protection.
Albert Einstein
Cited symbolically as a legitimizer of Israeli nuclear science. Webb doesn’t accuse Einstein of malice, but notes how his support helped mask Mossad infiltration of U.S. nuclear programs. Einstein’s name was used to lend credibility to covert programs. He is a cultural icon repurposed for strategic cover.
Charles Manson
Described as a tool of the CIA during Operation Midnight Climax and Summer of Chaos. Manson allegedly enforced control over nuclear lab areas like Santa Susana by intimidating researchers. He also operated in Haight-Ashbury and Laurel Canyon during drug-experimentation campaigns. Webb paints him as an example of counterculture weaponized by intelligence.
Robert Allen Hale
Son of IB Hale and alleged participant in CIA black ops, sexual abuse, and domestic terrorism. Webb traces Hale from Texas to Haight-Ashbury, then to Alaska where he abused and enslaved his daughters. He is implicated in surveillance against JFK and covert LSD experiments. His life illustrates generational state protection of intelligence-linked assets.
William Hale
Brother of Robert Allen Hale, involved in early surveillance of JFK and alleged sniper training. Attended high school with Lee Harvey Oswald and possibly participated in covert ops during the Cold War. Like Robert, he was a product of military-intelligence grooming. Webb implicates both brothers in efforts to undermine JFK and support General Dynamics.
Insall B. Hale (IB Hale)
Ex-FBI agent and father of Robert and William, head of security at General Dynamics. Allegedly got Oswald hired at the U-2 photo lab and later the Texas School Book Depository. Webb considers IB Hale one of the key operatives enabling the assassination of JFK for defense industry gain. He was also involved in surveillance and possibly blackmail of political targets.
Lee Harvey Oswald
Alleged lone gunman in JFK’s assassination, Webb places Oswald as a pawn manipulated by IB Hale and intelligence. Hired at key moments to enable the assassination scenario. His trajectory was reportedly orchestrated by FBI and CIA elements in Texas. Oswald’s links to Hale and defense contractors are central to Webb’s theory.
Fred Korth
JFK’s Secretary of the Navy and Fort Worth banker involved in funding General Dynamics' bid for the TFX fighter. After awarding the contract, he became the subject of Congressional investigations. His daughter Verita died under suspicious circumstances in 1969. Webb suggests Korth was compromised and pressured by the same mob-defense network.
Verita Korth
Daughter of Fred Korth and Fort Worth beauty queen. Died under mysterious circumstances at age 23. Webb includes her death as part of a pattern of retaliatory or silencing murders connected to JFK and TFX. Her story is emblematic of the human cost of covert power struggles.
John Connally
Texas politician and campaign manager for LBJ, wounded in the JFK assassination. His daughter also reportedly died young under suspicious circumstances. Connally supported the TFX contract and had deep ties to defense firms. Webb implies he may have been a target or participant in the broader conspiracy.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Vice President under JFK and alleged beneficiary of his death. Allegedly received bribes from Bobby Baker to ensure the TFX contract for General Dynamics. Webb argues that LBJ was protected by the same mob-intelligence apparatus. His Texas political machine is portrayed as deeply compromised.
🏢 Organizations
General Dynamics
Major defense contractor central to the TFX scandal and JFK assassination theories. Allegedly manipulated by IB Hale and Crown for profit and control over nuclear tech. Webb presents GD as a front for organized crime and CIA operations. Its aircraft and nuclear divisions are repeatedly linked to sabotage and espionage.
General Atomics
Another defense firm linked to the Crown-Korshak axis. Played a role in technology transfer to Israel. Webb includes it as part of the mob-financed, intelligence-backed arms network. Seen as a critical player in covert weapons proliferation.
CIA
Allegedly partnered with the mob and defense contractors to remove JFK, launder stolen tech, and support Israel’s nuclear program. Ran MK-Ultra, Midnight Climax, and counterculture operations in the U.S. Also oversaw coups and assassinations worldwide. Webb sees the CIA as the operational muscle behind deep-state crimes.
Chicago Outfit
Organized crime syndicate at the center of Webb’s story. Facilitated nuclear tech theft, bribery, and political manipulation. Backed politicians and corrupted institutions. Their influence persists through modern proxies like Wexner and Kolomoisky.
RAND Corporation
Think tank producing weapons policy and nuclear strategy. Employed Sam Cohen and Kissinger. Webb suggests its research was funneled to foreign powers through espionage. Played an indirect but vital role in proliferation.
Hercules Corp
Explosives company allegedly compromised to deliver triggering mechanisms for nuclear bombs. Involved in mob-run tech transfers. Webb includes it as a key industrial player in Israel’s bomb. Its role shows how deep the sabotage of U.S. industries ran.
Santa Susana Field Lab
Secretive nuclear test site in California. Monitored and protected by CIA operatives, including Manson’s group. A hub for tech extraction and experiments. Symbolic of how the deep state operated in plain sight.
A Hale Of Bullets Begins
The Hale family was instrumental in getting the Bomb for Israel through the assassination of John F. Kennedy and their companies, General Atomics and General Dynamics.
This story isn’t just about blowing the head off of John Connelly’s daughter or JFK’s Secretary of the Navy daughter as well. This story isn’t just about Defense contractor murders by General Atomics and General Dynamics and compromising the holder of the highest office in the land; it is about murdering the man who got in the way of the Israel Bomb - John F Kennedy.
Here's a concise summary and brief descriptions of the key individuals and organizations mentioned in George Webb's article, "The Chicago Bomb - Part One, Introduction":
Summary:
George Webb argues that Chicago mob lawyer Sidney Korshak played a pivotal yet overlooked role in shaping Hollywood, influencing U.S. politics, and secretly facilitating Israel's acquisition of nuclear and advanced military technology during the Cold War. Webb claims Korshak collaborated with mob figure Henry Crown, the CIA, and military-industrial entities to acquire aviation, missile, and nuclear technologies—sometimes through sabotage, murder, or manipulation of companies. Webb ties these actions to broader historical events, including U.S. presidents' rise to power, the Vietnam War, and the creation of Israel's nuclear arsenal.
Key Persons:
Sidney Korshak: Influential mob lawyer connected to the Chicago Outfit, Hollywood moguls, union bosses, and U.S. Presidents (Nixon, Reagan). Central to acquiring nuclear and aviation technologies for Israel.
Henry Crown: Chicago Outfit-linked businessman, owner of General Dynamics and key player in U.S. defense contracting, allegedly involved in corruption, sabotage, and facilitating Israeli nuclear capability.
Robert Mahue: CIA operative, associated with billionaire Howard Hughes. Webb accuses Mahue of orchestrating sabotage and assassinations against Hughes to seize his wealth and assets for mob interests.
Howard Hughes: Billionaire industrialist and aviator, allegedly targeted for assassination or incapacitation by Mahue to transfer control of his aviation and casino empire to Chicago mob control.
Curtis LeMay: U.S. Air Force General involved in defense procurement and aerospace industries. Linked to Crown and Korshak through General Dynamics and North American Aviation acquisitions.
Donald Douglas: Founder of Douglas Aircraft, associated with Crown and Korshak in aerospace industry acquisitions.
David Lewis: Protégé of Donald Douglas involved in aerospace mergers under Crown and Korshak.
Michael and Marshall Riconosciuto: Father and son involved in technology and explosives industries; accused of aiding illegal technology transfers to Israel through Korshak and mob channels.
Richard Nixon: Former U.S. President, associated with Korshak and Crown, allegedly facilitating the acquisition of explosive and nuclear technology for Israel.
Sam Cohen: Nuclear physicist who invented the neutron bomb at RAND Corporation, linked to Henry Kissinger, Curtis LeMay, and Israeli nuclear capabilities.
Henry Kissinger: U.S. diplomat and Secretary of State, associated with nuclear weapons policy, including neutron bomb technology allegedly shared with Israel.
Nicholas J. Bua: Judge friendly to mob interests, connected to Korshak, appointed to protect mob activities after suspicious death of another judge.
William Patrick Moriarty: Associate of Nixon and Korshak, entangled in organized crime and espionage allegations related to nuclear technology transfer.
Les Wexner and Igor Kolomoisky: Contemporary billionaires described as successors to Korshak and Crown in facilitating defense-related espionage and corruption linked to Israel.
Albert Einstein: Allegedly involved (unwittingly or intentionally) in lending credibility to Israeli nuclear ambitions and espionage operations through participation in intellectual social events.
Charles Manson: Webb claims Manson and his associates protected nuclear secrets at California's Santa Susana Field Lab by intimidating intruders and researchers.
Key Organizations:
Chicago Outfit: Organized crime syndicate central to Webb’s narrative, involved in espionage, sabotage, union manipulation, and facilitating Israeli nuclear ambitions.
CIA (Central Intelligence Agency): Allegedly cooperated with organized crime and Hollywood to influence public opinion, politics, and technology transfers during the Cold War.
General Dynamics and General Atomics: Major U.S. defense contractors acquired and used by Crown and Korshak to transfer nuclear and aviation technologies to Israel.
RAND Corporation: U.S. research organization involved in advanced nuclear and defense research, linked by Webb to illicit technology transfer via Sam Cohen and Kissinger.
Hercules Corporation: Explosives manufacturer manipulated by the mob to secure explosive technology crucial for nuclear weapon triggers, according to Webb.
North American Aviation: Aerospace company targeted by Korshak and Crown for acquisition and merger to gain control of advanced technology.
Santa Susana Field Laboratory: California nuclear reactor complex described as a covert site for developing and stealing nuclear secrets for Israel.
Dupont (Hanford Nuclear Plant): Site allegedly compromised to obtain uranium/plutonium separation technologies (PUREX process) for Israel's nuclear program.
Key Events Mentioned:
Howard Hughes 1946 Plane Crash: Allegedly orchestrated by the CIA (Mahue), enabling Korshak agents to recover Nazi aviation secrets used in later nuclear and missile projects.
Vietnam War: Webb claims the war was engineered to protect heroin profits for the mob, with funds diverted to Israeli nuclear weapons programs.
Acquisition of Nuclear Bomb Technology: Korshak and Crown reportedly arranged industrial sabotage, assassinations, and espionage to acquire and transfer nuclear weapon and missile technologies to Israel.
But murder and compromise certainly are a big part of the story. Electronic surveillance is a form of stalking, and stalking usually precedes assassination. And this story finds an extraordinary license to kill, originally provisioned to keep nuclear secrets from the Soviets, being used as a license to kill political opponents.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Allen_Hale
Pulitzer Prize Winner Seymour Hersh reported on the FBI reported that Robert Allen Hale of Tallahassee Shotgun Shack fame, along with his brother William, broke into the home of the girlfriend of President John F. Kennedy to plant recording devices in August of 1962.
Hersh theorizes that the Hale boys are planting FBI bugging devices for their ex-FBI Agent father, Insall B. Hale, who now runs a Security Department for General Dynamics.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, IB Hale famously got Lee Harvey Oswald a job at a U-2 photo interpretation lab in Dallas.
Just as famously, IB Hale’s wife also got Oswald a got at the Texas School Book Depository a month before the JFK assassination. Both Robert Allen Hale and his brother William went to Arlington High School with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Journalist George Webb in Dealey Plaza - The death of JFK ended the investigation into General Dynamics and the F-111, and also created a huge Defense Contractor out of General Dynamics in addition to Bell Helicopter in Vietnam, both based in Fort Worth, Texas.
General Dynamics was not only in charge of the JFK motorcade route on the day JFK was assassinated, IB Hale’s wife also arranged for Lee Harvey Oswald’s job at the Texas School Book Depository Depository a month before the assassination.
General Dynamics is competing for a 7 billion dollar fighter contract called the TFX, and their entry is the F-111 Aardvark. Hersh speculates that the Hales wanted to blackmail JFK to get the lucrative TFX jet contract.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFX_Program#CITEREFGunston1983
Robert Allen Hale would go on to be in Haight Ashbury at the same time of the CIA’s “Summer of Love” and Operation Midnight Climax along with Charles Manson, and again in Los Angeles in 1968 in the CIA’s “Summer of Chaos”, again with Charles Manson lurking in the same movie and music star mansions.
Over thirty years later, the Washington Post would do a feature article about Robert Allen Hale living in Alaska, fighting over US Forest Service land. He was later convicted of physically and sexually abusing his children and coercing his oldest daughters into having children with him.
https://archive.ph/Kh0kr
Robert Allen Hale just happens to show up in Haight Ashbury in the “Summer Of Love” in the Summer of 1967, just as the CIA is introducing LSD into the anti-war movement there.
The CIA begins Operation Midnight Climax in Haight Ashbury as Robert Allen Hale goes undercover as a beatnik musician in Haight Ashbury. Robert Allen Hale shows up a year later in Laurel Canyon, California, just as the CIA is unleashing LSD into the Hollywood elites for the “Summer of Chaos” in 1968.
Like his father, Robert Allen Hale and his brother William were trained as snipers and may have been employed in South America in the CIA coups of Chile and Argentina during the CIA’s reign of terror there in the early 1970s.
How the Hales managed to convince the Washington Post to write a puff piece about Robert Allen Hale suggests huge dollops of State sponsorship in the life of Robert Allen Hale. John Connally’s daughter wouldn’t be the only one of JFK’s Secretary of the Navy’s daughters who would die young. Connally's successor, Fred Korth, also would have his daughter die suspiciously at a young age in 1969.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Connally
Fred Korth was also the Fort Worth banker who provided loans for IB Hale’s F-111 fighter plane, and Fred Korth was saddled with a Congressional investigation into the contract award for the TFX almost from the day of the award in 1962.
Beauty Queen Verita Korth would be dead within two years of this picture being taken, dying under suspicious circumstances at age 23.
Future President Lyndon Baines Johnson would also be embroiled in the TFX scandal. John Connally was his key campaign manager in Texas politics since they both left the Navy after World War II. LBJ supposedly received $100,000 from a political bagman named Bobby Baker for fixing the TFX contract for General Dynamics.
After the TFX contract award in November of 1962, the Senate quickly opened an investigation of the General Dynamics F-111, which Air Force General Curtis LeMay and Admiral George Andersen were pushing.
One thing is for sure. The F-111 was plagued from the beginning with production products which might have resulted from its innovative technology brought in from Nazi aviation designers, like the variable wing geometry introducing swept back wing configuration in flight.
https://library.cqpress.com/cqalmanac/document.php?id=cqal63-1315398
Two days after the TFX Hearings ended in the US Senate, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
You can listen to Admiral George Andersen’s explanation of the TFX probe here at the JFK Archives.
Kennedy favored the Boeing entry for the TFX fighter, and Curtis LeMay of the Air Force had tilted toward Boeing as well on the day of JFK’s assassination.
Journalist George Webb points out the close connections of IB Hale, the Hale boys, and Lee Harvey Oswald in Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
General Dynamics lost out to Boeing for its B-36 in competition with Boeing’s B-52 in 1959.
General Dynamics could not afford another setback in its aviation division in 1962. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara strongly criticized the TFX contract award to General Dynamics, resulting in one of the most extended Senate investigations ever in 1963 going until two days before JFK’s assassination.

Seymour Hersh - Dark Side Of Camelot
Hale family notes from Dark Side of Camelot
Here is a typical General Dynamics Engineer’s resume.
https://library.cqpress.com/cqalmanac/document.php?id=cqal63-1315398
In the seemingly never-ending list of spies associated with spying on JFK to influence the TFX contract, OSS veteran Ernie Byfield and his son spied on the Kennedys for General Dynamics as well. Ernie Byfield’s widow after he died even married Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in a final irony.
I agree with Seymour Hersh that the Hales are a key thread in unwinding the secret history of the United States in Foreign Policy and US Department of Defense defense contractors. We will continue this series in future Substacks. Return here for updates on Part One of this series.
