I wrote most of the book, “The PermIndex Ruse’ resulted from notes and YouTube videos that I did in 2018. The idea was very simple. The creation of DARPA and NASA in 1957 resulted from an organization, called the PermIndex that was planted by Nazis Halmar Schacht and Otto Skorzeny in New Orleans after World War II.
We had done a number of YouTube broadcasts in our research community into the exploits of an FBI agent named Tom O’Loughlin, who I nicknamed McDuff while working with his son, John OLoughlin, a Georgetown lawyer (apostrophe dropped by the son).
I wrote a book called “Let’s Call Him McDuff” as the first of a three part series. “The PermIndex Ruse” is the second book in that series.
McDuff, J. Edgar Hoover’s right hand man in Nazi and Communist hunting at Division Five at FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC, was given the task of pouring over 68,000 files in the early 1950s for suspected infiltrators into US Agencies. Later in 1962, McDuff was brought into the Joint Chiefs of Staff by the Kennedys to potentially root out the Nazi infiltration into US National Agencies.
This six-year investigation has been hampered by the continual classification of files in this case, even though I have filed Freedom of Information Act filings with both the FBI and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The FBI and the Joint Chiefs of Staff told me the Thomas Francis O’Loughlin were at the National Archives where I followed up on them, only to be told that the files were still Classified in a series of memos, and finally my Freedom of Information Act request was closed.
Still, some Classified documents have recently been declassified and released about the close associates of Tom O’Loughlin, in particular his Division Five compatriot, Charles W. Lyons.
John OLoughlin and I made many trips to the National Archives to research his father’s cases, especially those he worked on with Charles W. Lyons, like the famous Irving Scarbeck case which involved the US State Department using their Office Of Security in giving diplomatic credentials to questionable infiltrators into the US.
There is a swirl of intrigue in the early 60s with the FBI counter intelligence bringing in several defectors Golenewski in 1960 and Yuri Nosenko in 1964 to add to the puzzle in the Kennedy and Johnson White Houses.
I did a lot of research on Thomas O’Loughlin also at the National Archive in College Park, Maryland. Many of the Nazi PaperClip files were still Classified near the Office of Navy Intelligence in Suitland, Maryland under the highest “Q Level” Clearance. that led me to write the third book in the series, called “The Q Loophole”.
Despite these Classification walls, new, unearthed documents shed more light on “The PermIndex Ruse”, and hence the update to the book here is timely. For instance, Charles W. Lyons was involved in the “Mission H Bomb Folder” case in 1954, not long after “McDuff” joined Division Five in 1952.
John OLoughlin and Intelligence Agencies researcher Dave Underdown are still looking into this case six years later as well, so there is an active researcher community interest in getting to the bottom of the McDuff Mystery that might unlock the PermIndex and other Operation PaperClip mysteries in our US espionage history.
For an audio introduction on how Robert F Kennedy was hot on the trail of Oswald and his connections to bring in Nazis into New Orleans in the early 1962, here is a Twitter space that I did on the topic. Robert F Kennedy was closely associated with Charles W Lyons, a hand-picked Boston Catholic from the FBI. McDuff fits that exact same description being brought into the Kennedy White House at the same time in 1962.

Click this CDN link to hear the Twitter Space of RFK hot on the trail of Lee Harvey Oswald and the CIA in 1962 with the Otepka, Scarbeck case. This case involved an Irving Scarbeck, a US intelligence office stationed in Warsaw, Poland with the US State Department. There is a tantalizing connection to the Algier Hiss - Whitaker Chambers connection here with another Scarbeck in Polish Intelligence, Christine Skarbeck, Winston Churchill’s favorite spy from World War II.
I had attended a lecture inm 1981 or 1982 at Miami University where Algier Hiss spoke and said he was duped into starting the World Health Organization. The WHO was subsequently used after his drafting the WHO Resolution at the UN to bringing in Nazi Nuremberg Trial doctors by Whittaker Chambers with the tacit approval of Richard M. Nixon. Later I would learn that Nixon was a proxy for Prescott Bush in bringing the Nazi Doctors into the United States.
I will delve into this topic more in the Q Loophole. Whittaker Chambers broke into the apartment of Algier Hiss to collect evidence against which Richard Nixon made into the subject of Algier Hiss’ Communist loyalty trial called the Pumpkin Papers.
This entire Nixon theatrical production about Communists was a deflection from the real infiltration of Nazi scientists and doctors according to Hiss.
Three doctors met in the first United Nations Conference after Yalta in 1945 but before Potsdam in August of 1945. The idea was to show solidarity in the West against Stalin. Dr. Sze was a long time weapons buyer from Allen Dulles for the Chinese NationList Army (KMT). Many think Hiss was entrapped at the meeting to discuss the WHO which was later co-opted to rinse Nazi doctors after their acquittal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Miracles kept happening with “chance” but in reality pre-areanged, recorded meeting with Hiss under the “declaration” ruse.
Hiss contended “McCarthyism” later on was a deflection of this same process of bringing Nazi scientists and doctors into the United States. Hiss would later learn the details of Operation PaperClip find out how correct he had been.
So here is the PermIndex Ruse, with some reordering that I want to do in the original book in 2018 and 2020. I wanted to move away from Oswald as a CIA operative in New Orleans, and move toward Dulles using the WHO and the PermIndex as waystations for the Nazi Doctors who were given clemency in Nuremberg.
