Echoes Of Laurel Canyon - Part Four - CIA In Hollywood -

House UnAmerican Activities Clubbed Alger Hiss After Hollywood Writers

In this series, we have been chronicling how Washington DC took over Hollywood with the formation of the CIA after World War II in something I call Operation Hollywood.

---

📜 Article Summary

This installment explores how the CIA, through House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings and Cold War propaganda, framed State Department official Alger Hiss as a Communist to derail Roosevelt-era internationalism and launch the CIA’s global dominance strategy.

George Webb presents Allen Dulles, Richard Nixon, and Whitaker Chambers as orchestrators of the 1948 “Pumpkin Papers” hoax, enabling the rise of Cold War repression, the Bay of Pigs, and eventually the Kennedy assassinations.

The piece connects this early Cold War manipulation to later CIA compromise operations involving Marilyn Monroe, RFK, and JFK—centered in Palm Springs, Indio, and Laurel Canyon, with mob collaborators like Frank Sinatra and Sam Giancana.

Through the lens of Robert Allen Hale and IB Hale, Webb presents a mosaic of intelligence blackmail, real estate squatting, sex lures, and LSD-fueled mind control reaching from HUAC to Hollywood to assassination plots.

Alger Hiss

FDR’s trusted State Department official, Hiss helped form the United Nations and proposed a peaceful World Health Organization structure. He was framed as a Communist spy by the CIA and Nixon using faked documents (the "Pumpkin Papers") typed on a typewriter that didn’t exist in 1938. Hiss was convicted of perjury in a show trial that launched the Cold War witch hunt. He maintained his innocence until his death and believed he was targeted by Henry Kissinger and Allen Dulles.

Allen Dulles

CIA architect and key figure in the Business Plot to overthrow FDR in 1933, Dulles framed Alger Hiss through fake espionage allegations. He used Whitaker Chambers as a plant to spy on Hiss and later weaponized HUAC hearings for CIA political engineering. Dulles allegedly orchestrated JFK's assassination and was responsible for CIA's darkest covert actions. His deep ties to Sullivan & Cromwell and Wall Street shaped the postwar U.S. intelligence agenda.

Whitaker Chambers

Former Communist turned CIA informant, Chambers befriended Alger Hiss in 1935 and stole classified documents. In 1948, he falsely claimed Hiss typed and passed secrets to Soviet agents, hiding the papers in a pumpkin patch. Chambers retyped the documents on a Woodstock typewriter not manufactured until after the alleged date, exposing the setup. His testimony launched Richard Nixon’s career and symbolized Cold War paranoia.

Richard Nixon

Then a young Congressman backed by Senator Prescott Bush and Allen Dulles, Nixon spearheaded the Hiss prosecution. He exploited the “Pumpkin Papers” trial to elevate his anti-Communist persona, which fueled his rise to the presidency. Nixon later clashed with the Kennedys, becoming a central Cold War antagonist. Webb portrays Nixon as a CIA puppet used to attack Roosevelt's legacy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR)

The New Deal president was the original target of the 1933 Business Plot by Wall Street elites and Allen Dulles. FDR’s internationalism and support for sovereignty through the UN made him a CIA enemy. Dulles feared retribution from Roosevelt and used Hiss's downfall to erase Roosevelt’s vision. FDR is depicted as a foundational figure targeted by the deep state before Kennedy.

Smedley Butler

A retired U.S. Marine Corps General who exposed the 1933 Business Plot when approached to lead the coup against FDR. His testimony derailed the plot, saving American democracy from a fascist corporate takeover. He remains a patriot in Webb’s narrative, often ignored in mainstream history. Butler’s act delayed the deep state’s full emergence by decades.

Prescott Bush

Wall Street banker and father of George H. W. Bush, Prescott backed Nixon and had financial ties to Nazi Germany through Union Banking Corporation. He was part of the elite network supporting Dulles’s anti-Roosevelt and anti-Hiss campaign. Bush’s sponsorship of Nixon embedded the CIA into mainstream politics. His role connects deep state finance to Cold War espionage.

Robert F. Kennedy (RFK)

Attorney General during the early 1960s, RFK was compromised using Monroe and surveillance operations tied to Robert Allen Hale. He was allegedly framed for Monroe’s death by being present with her doctor at the Lawford residence. RFK’s mob prosecutions made him a threat to the CIA-Chicago Outfit alliance. His assassination followed a pattern of eliminating Kennedy threats.

John F. Kennedy (JFK)

Targeted by CIA compromise operations using Monroe at locations owned by Sinatra, Crosby, and Giancana. Webb alleges four trysts occurred in Palm Springs under surveillance, possibly orchestrated by Robert Allen Hale posing as “FBI Agent Robert Taylor.” JFK’s clashes with the CIA culminated in his assassination, which Webb ties to Dulles and the same forces behind Hiss’s takedown. JFK's destruction was framed as the long arc of deep state vengeance.

Robert Allen Hale

Son of IB Hale, Robert orchestrated compromise setups involving Monroe and the Kennedys, using fake FBI credentials and surveillance. He is accused of murdering Mary Pinchot Meyer and her son, and facilitating LSD-fueled sex lures through CIA contacts like Timothy Leary. Hale's history includes connections to the Manson Family, cult land grabs, and defense contractors. His role ties sex, murder, and mind control to state intelligence operations.

IB (Insall Bailey) Hale

Former FBI agent turned CIA-affiliated security chief at General Dynamics and later a defense contractor mogul. IB Hale allegedly ran CIA blackmail operations and cultivated Lee Harvey Oswald as an expendable assassin. He participated in CIA-cult land seizure tactics involving uranium and gold claims. IB Hale forms the logistical backbone of the compromise network Webb explores.

Mary Pinchot Meyer

JFK’s mistress and ex-wife of CIA official Cord Meyer, Mary was murdered in 1964 after pursuing LSD therapy and spiritual exploration post-assassination. Webb claims she was used as a lure and eliminated by Hale under Dulles’s orders. Her son and dog were killed prior to her murder to remove potential witnesses. Her diary was stolen by James Angleton, evidence of a CIA cover-up.

Cord Meyer

Deputy CIA Director and ex-husband of Mary Pinchot Meyer. He was allegedly involved in CIA psychological operations and tolerated or abetted Mary’s compromise role. His silence on her murder suggests complicity or threat. Cord represents CIA inner circles corrupted by loyalty to Dulles.

James Angleton

CIA counterintelligence chief who broke into Mary Meyer’s home after her death to steal her diary. He’s portrayed as the janitor of CIA crime scenes, ensuring nothing incriminating leaks. His role highlights internal CIA surveillance and document suppression. Angleton is one of the agency’s most secretive and feared figures.

Timothy Leary

CIA-backed LSD advocate who introduced Meyer and others to “orgasmic therapy” and psychedelic compromise. Leary helped launch the "Summer of Love" and Laurel Canyon LSD movement, tools for youth mind control. Webb portrays him as Hale’s asset for facilitating sex blackmail operations. His public image as a guru masks his covert manipulation.

Peter Lawford

Kennedy in-law and Hollywood actor, owner of 625 Palisades Beach Road, site of alleged Monroe-Kennedy trysts. The house became a compromise trap under surveillance, possibly arranged by Hale. Lawford’s connection to JFK made him a weak link easily exploited by the CIA. His home became a covert intelligence theater.

Peter Duke

Hollywood insider and collaborator with Webb, Duke explores historic compromise locations like Lawford’s home. He co-produces investigative content on the D.C.-Hollywood nexus. His insights ground Webb’s research in Hollywood geography. Duke serves as a trusted field partner in the series.

Henry Kissinger

Identified by Hiss as the true architect of his downfall. Kissinger replaced Hiss’s vision of peace with deep state technocracy and CIA-aligned foreign policy. Webb positions Kissinger as the ideological successor to Dulles. Kissinger’s influence connects postwar repression to modern globalist control.

🏛️ Organizations

House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)

Congressional body repurposed by Dulles and Nixon to criminalize Roosevelt-era internationalism and start the Cold War. HUAC hearings against Hollywood in 1947 and Alger Hiss in 1948 enabled CIA information warfare. The Committee helped launch Nixon and vilify dissenters. It represents Cold War propaganda at its most invasive.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

Formed post-WWII by OSS remnants, the CIA became the enforcement arm of Wall Street, suppressing domestic and international threats to elite power. Webb details its use of psychological ops, LSD, sexual compromise, and false espionage narratives to destroy reputations. It is responsible for the deaths of JFK, RFK, Monroe, Meyer, and others. The CIA hijacked U.S. institutions, replacing democracy with a surveillance state.

Sullivan & Cromwell

Wall Street law firm where Allen Dulles worked and which coordinated deep state financial and intelligence agendas. It had ties to Nazi Germany and U.S. corporations supporting fascist takeovers. The firm epitomized elite legal manipulation of geopolitics. It served as the CIA’s legal brain trust.

United Nations & WHO (proposed by Hiss)

International organizations envisioned by Hiss to promote peace and sovereign equality. These institutions were targeted by the CIA as threats to U.S. dominance. The idea of WHO without private or military influence was squashed by Cold War policy. Hiss’s vision clashed directly with Dulles and Kissinger’s global control agenda.

Laurel Canyon Intelligence Network

Cultural operation hub where the CIA used drugs and music to socially engineer American youth. LSD, Charles Manson, and rock stars were leveraged for mass mind control. Laurel Canyon became the psychedelic front of Cold War soft power. It was the domestic counterpart to Hollywood and HUAC psychological ops.

Indio & Palm Springs

Mob- and CIA-linked retreat towns used for Kennedy compromise operations, including Bing Crosby's and Frank Sinatra’s estates. The region was outside RFK’s Chicago wiretap zone, giving mobsters and the CIA free rein. FBI “offices” popped up to facilitate blackmail logistics. These desert outposts played central roles in Monroe, RFK, and JFK scandals.

Introduction

After calling the Hollywood Ten on the carpet in the Fall of 1947 in Washington, DC, with primarily cooperative witnesses like Ronald Reagan, Walt Disney, and Jack Warner, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was ready to bear its fangs in 1948.

The House UnAmerican Activities attack dog had munched on Hollywood writers in late 1947; they were ready for the fresh bone of Alger Hiss and the State Department in 1948.

Alger Hiss was a promising young lawyer who was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and had gone into President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s US State Department, who later helped negotiate the Yalta meeting with Stalin and the United Nations Security Council.

He also proposed a World Health Organization based on cooperation among nations without military or lockdown authority and without outside private funding influence.

Future CIA Director Allen Dulles had a bone to pick with Alger Hiss, going all the way back to Dulles’ unsuccessful attempt in 1933 to stage a military coup against FDR, called “the Business Plot,” based on the premise that FDR was a Communist.

https://allthatsinteresting.com/the-business-plot

The Business Plot was widely seen as a coup ordered by John D. Rockefeller using Allen Dulles and his Sullivan and Cromwell law firm to do the dirty work payouts for the coup.

https://markthomaskrone.wordpress.com/tag/allen-dulles/

Given that Allen Dulles had tried to overthrow Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a military coup in 1933 called the Business Plot, and after the Business Plot failed, Dulles feared a reprisal investigation and prosecution from FDR and specifically Alger Hiss as the lead investigator.

Dulles believed Alger Hiss was leading that prosecution. The Business Plot was unsuccessful due to General Smedley Butler, who was supposed to lead to a coup, exposing the plot before it was executed.

To spy on Alger Hiss and, in turn, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1935, Allen Dulles had their operative Whitaker Chambers befriend Alger Hiss, a Columbia University dropout, with a story he was down on his luck and in need of a place to stay.

Alger Hiss obliged and let Whitaker Chambers stay at the Hiss house for a few weeks and do odd jobs out of sympathy for the down-on-his-luck Ivy League dropout.

At that time, Whitaker Chambers stole Secret State Department documents from Hiss beginning in 1935 and potentially on many return break-ins through World War II to steal key FDR documents. Dulles hoped to find out what evidence Hiss and FDR had against the Wall Street Business Plot conspirators initially, but then Dulles wanted to know FDR’s foreign policy plans throughout his succeeding terms in the Presidency through 1945. The original, stolen 1938 Secret State Department documents were later clumsily retyped on a Woodstock typewriter owned by Hiss in 1948 by spy Whitaker Chambers.

Now, after the war in 1948, Dulles brings back Whitaker Chambers to say Alger Hiss is a Communist, using Richard Nixon to create the show in Congress. The State Department documents typed on the Woodstock typewriter are presented as the key incriminating evidence, a typewriter that did not exist in 1938.

In 1948, Nixon and Dulles had Chambers type up the Secret State Department documents Chambers stole in 1938 from the Alger Hiss home on a Woodstock typewriter that didn’t exist in 1938.

Chambers framed Hiss, saying Hiss actually typed the Secret documents and passed them to Communist agents in a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch in Maryland, hence them being called “The Pumpkin Papers”.

Supposedly Alger Hiss had the foresight in 1938 to not only transcribed his Secret State Department documents on a Woodstock typewriter that wouldn’t exist for ten years, but he also had the foresight to photograph the paper and put them in a pumpkin in a pumpkin patch.

This Woodstock typewriter exculpatory evidence would exonerate Alger Hiss from the frame up is not allowed in the HUAC hearings or at Hiss’ perjury trial. Hiss was convicted in the minds of the American public that he was a Communist spy, hokey Pumpkin Patch story and all.

These same CIA teams that created these fake Communist spy HUAC narratives in 1947 and 1948 are going to be the same people who plot the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Don’t worry Octopus Murder researchers, all these roads lead to Indio, JFK, RFK, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Frank Sinatra, IB Hale, and Robert Allen Hale. All this is coming your way in this series.

As most people who are familiar with Marilyn Monroe death on August 5th, 1962, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was being sped away from brother-in-law Peter Lawford’s home on 625 Beach Road in an apparent set up to frame RFK in the death of Marilyn Monroe. Monroe was supposed to arrive at the Lawford home that evening, but she never made it. Being caught with the doctor of Marilyn Monroe on the night she died seem like a preplanned event to frame the Attorney General.

We will cover all these intrigues with Marilyn Monroe and all the Kennedy sexual lures used by Robert Allen Hale to smear the Kennedys. We will also cover…

Mobster hangouts in Indio.

Sinatra’s Indio Kennedy Trap,

Marilyn Monroe compromise,

LSD and Hollywood,

The Bing Crosby Kennedy Trap When Bobby Kennedy Said No To The Sinatra Kennedy Trap,

The Bing Crosby Kennedy Trap With Marilyn Monroe,

How LSD For Kennedy Starlets Turned Into LSD For Everyone In San Francisco And Laurel Canyon,

And Mob receipts coming out our ears,

And dis Marilyn die at the base of the Indio gold mine? And is it the Lost Mormon Gold Mine? Warhol’s 1962 Marylin Lost In Gold.

Now for the deep dive on how the CIA used HUAC and its successors to smear and undermine. We will get to Laurel Canyon soon.

Another future American President, Richard Nixon, would attack a new target, a surefire cinch nominee for the Supreme Court, no less than the US State Department official who had set up the United Nations Security Council and had proposed a cooperative approach to the World Health Organization.

As a fresh-faced Congressman from California with complete support from Senator Prescott Bush, Nixon had extensive connections to Allen Dulles of the newly formed CIA. Nixon was used to tearing into Alger Hiss, a Roosevelt New Deal Democrat that had the strange idea that the United Nations and the World Health Organization were not a jobs programs for out-of-work Nazi intelligence officers and Nazi scientists.

Nixon made it clear that the United Nations and soon-to-be-formed NATO Defense League and any UN organization formed in Post-War Europe wouldn’t bear the mark of Alger Hiss’ egalitarian thinking about nationhood and sovereign self-determination. The 1948 HUAC Spy Trial of Alger Hiss was the unofficial start of the Cold War regarding reprisals against Americans in Government, not just those pesky Hollywood Ten writers in the 1947 HUAC Hearings.

I had the chance to meet Alger Hiss on a national speaking tour to protest his innocence of the accusation he was a Communist spy at the State Department. He didn’t blame Nixon or Whitaker Chambers, the CIA informant that he took sympathy on and hired for odd jobs at his house. Hiss thought Henry Kissinger had targeted him from the beginning, and Nixon was just the fresh new mouthpiece from California. Chambers clumsily retyped 1938 State Department papers on Hiss’ Woodstock typewriter to convict Hiss, a typewriter that did not exist before World War II.

The CIA’s message was clear - if FDR’s key man at Yalta, who created the United Nations and the WHO, wasn’t safe, no one was safe from the talons of the CIA. The public execution-style interrogations the CIA had adopted with Alger Hiss would become commonplace with McCarthy Hearings that would follow, sending a clear message that the Cold War was going to be long and cold.

These HUAC hearings and the later Hiss trial set up the anti-Communist atmosphere in 1960, as John F. Kennedy ran against Richard Nixon for President. Twelve years later, the same group that plotted the Business Plot is now running the CIA, namely Allen Dulles.

In our next Part Five, we will introduce the Nixon - Kennedy showdown and the introduction of gangsters into the election to poison the Kennedy Administration, led by Sam Giancana of the Chicago Outfit mob.

Of course, Sam Giancana will lead to the rape and death and Marilyn Monroe and the use of Monroe as a sexual lure for JFK. Monroe was used as a sexual lure at the Winter home of Sam Giancana in Palm Spring, California. Monroe was made available to JFK at the Bing Crosby home in Palm Springs where Giancana wintered with Frank Sinatra.

We will look into the four John F. Kennedy trysts with Monroe at the Crosby Palm Springs locations, with a certain “mysterious”FBI Agent Robert Taylor” always watching. Clayton Taylor was the FBI Agent who opened an FBI office in Indio when John F. Kennedy was elected, and Indio became a haven for the Chicago Outfit Mob to continue operations without the Bobby Kennedy wiretaps in Chicago.

Of course, tansportation is arranged frequently for one Marilyn Monroe to bisit the Kennedys in Palm Springs as well.

There are differing accounts of how many Kennedy-Monroe trysts actually occurred, but we will document them all including others involving the CIA handler Robert Allen Hale.

We will present the evidence and the curious case of “FBI Agent Robert Taylor” matching the description of Robert Allen Hale, who drives Robert Kennedy to and from these Bing Crosby locations for these four parties.

RFK’s briefcase seems to go magically missing when “Robert Taylor” is doing the driving. The RFK briefcase, which is the briefcase of the Attorney General, contains the legal documents and evidence in the mob case against Sam Giancana.

This RFK briefcase magically shows up again later after being missing with “FBI Agent Robert Taylor”. We will explore these Marilyn Monroe trysts with the Kennedys in Palm Springs, California and the magical “FBI Office” that pops up there in February of 1961, opened by “FBI Agent Robert Taylor”.

We will also explore the murder of JFK lover Mary Pinchot Meyer in Washington, DC, the ex-wife of Cord Meyer, Deputy Director of the CIA.

The family Golden Retriever was also run over before the Meyer murder to silence a potential protection alarm for Mary Meyer.

Mary Meyer’s nine-year-old son was also run over and killed to eliminate another possible alarm for her safety, leading to her experimentation with LSD in her grief. Meyer was shot in the back and then in the head on October 12th, 1964, as she walked along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Potomac, Maryland. James Angleton of the CIA broke into her home to steal her diary after her murder.

I toured the Mary Pinchot Meyer murder scene with a famed 9/11 author in DC. Early in my investigations, I became convinced Robert Allen Hale ran over her son and then later killed her on orders of Allen Dulles to cover up how she was used as a Kennedy sexual lure in Georgetown.

We will discuss her weird LSD and “sexual exploration” therapy used to discredit her after the death of JFK, which in turn led to Timothy Leary’s trip to California for promoting LSD. Leary was used by the CIA to lead the LSD-fueled “Summer of Love” in 1967 and the Laurel Canyon LSD-inspired music and sexual revolution in 1968 in Los Angeles with Charles Manson.

https://hudsonvalleyone.com/2016/04/28/long-strange-trip-upstate-films-to-screen-dying-to-know-ram-dass-and-timothy-leary/

Leary was certainly in constant communication with his CIA handler, who I have posited as Robert Allen Hale. LSD was a key lubricant to making parties transform from passively watching sixteen naked teenage girls in a pool to the gang rapes of the teen girls and the resulting compromise and DC and Hollywood leverage that was gained from those rapes.

Mary Pinchot Meyer did LSD with artist Kenneth Noland, so perhaps John F. Kennedy was never willing to cross that bridge with Meyer. Compromise is far easier with the help of LSD and Timothy Leary at a pool party.

After Timothy Leary brought into the drug therapy of Mary Pinchot MeyerWas, she was introduced to “orgasmic therapy” really just a euphemism for gang rape in my opinion. And Mary Pinchot Meyer is one of many lures of JFK and RFK who were murdered and tortured, and we will explore all the murders.

We will also explore the Pacific Palisades beach house of Kennedy's brother-in-law, Peter Lawford, and the reported trysts there with Marilyn Monroe.

Since Lawford bought the home in 1956, 625 Palisades Beach Road has been used to compromise John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, again with obvious state sponsorship. This 625 Palisade residence was just down the street from two more studio heads, Jack Warner of Warner Brother and Sam Goldwyn of MGM.

The great Peter Duke, a long-time Hollywood creative consultant who lives in Pacific Palisades, has been my long-time collaborator on our Washington, DC meets Hollywood show, @TheDukeReport. Peter and I have done many videos at this location in Pacific Palisades, which once housed MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer.

Supposedly, the idea for the Academy Awards was born on the porch here when Louis asked, “What if I gave out Awards for my movies and then charged the press to publicize the event?” or something to that effect. We will be returning to this Monroe house as well in our story.

I have also added Los Angeles investigative journalist Penny Shepherd with Dave Zublick to my regular investigative beat with Awake Nation News on Fridays at 8:30 AM Central to dive even deeper into the Washington, DC meets Hollywood topics and research.

Notes -

The ghost of Citizen Kane is said to live at 625 Beach.
