Nazi Catcher In The Rye - Part Five - Know Thy Enemy

We can't win if we don't know where the chess pieces are.

In the Summer of 2020, author George Webb visited every one of the five Normandy invasion beaches and most of the French towns involved in the breakout from the beachheads. In this series, George Webb explores why we are now funding the very same Nazi elements in Ukraine we fought in World War II.

Victor Rothschild ran the debating society at Cambridge that recruited the Cambridge Five British spies that gave US secrets to the Soviet Union to equalize the balance of the Cold War.

Detailed summary

The article is a memoir-style chapter in journalist George Webb’s continuing series that sets the Second World War’s Normandy invasion against present-day U.S. policy in Ukraine.

Webb argues that the same commercial-intelligence network that supplied Nazi Germany—centered on Royal Dutch Shell, Prince Bernhard, and Lord Victor Rothschild—survived defeat, re-branded itself through elite clubs such as Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Webb further asserts that Royal Dutch Shell, Bilderberg Club Members, and the members of the the World Economic Forum now profit from U.S. and NATO aid routed to Kyiv. Webb likens these elite organizations as humanitarian fronts for cartel and monopolistic practices conferences.

Webb sketches a lineage that runs from wartime oil deals, through the 1970s Lockheed bribery scandal that toppled Prince Bernhard at Bilderberg to 2010. Webb also highlights the decade of the 2010s Blackberry-encrypted side-channels for monoploistic practices around “war cartels”. Webb cites the examples the Biden family and Ambassador William “Bill” Taylor brokering Javelin-missile contracts and contracts for Ukraine, but asserts that these weapons categories are just a tip of the iceberg.

Webb claims that an encryption cluster inside Ukraine—run by CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch and later folded into the Ukrainian anti-corruption bureau NABU—handled covert State-Department traffic for wars and weapons programs from Libya to Iran.

Webb ties the same phones to a Pentagon Task Force Orange cell at Fort Belvoir that, he alleges, managed a secret “Royal Dutch Virus” bio-agents project that reached Wuhan before the COVID-19 outbreak.

The piece places storied Deep-State names—Kissinger, Schwab, Rothschild—at the hub of these pipelines and dismisses conventional NGOs as expendable “shells.”

Webb ends by promising excerpts from his “Royal Dutch Virus” and “Bavari 9/11” booklets and reminding readers that oligarch Oleg Deripaska serves “Jake Rothschild’s” mineral interests in Russia, underscoring his thesis that modern conflicts mask century-old resource cartels.

People

George Webb
Webb is an American independent investigator who publishes rapid-fire, self-funded booklets and Substack essays linking intelligence agencies, energy multinationals, and covert bio-programs. His 2020 drive along all five Normandy beaches supplies the metaphorical map for this series, letting him “air-drop” past reporting onto iconic WWII landmarks. Webb argues that recognizing the real sponsors of war—rather than their NGO front groups—lets activists “pull the tree up by its roots.” He presents himself as the connective tissue between Cold-War whistle-blowers and today’s citizen-journalist “resistance.” WSJWorld Economic Forum

Victor Rothschild
Nathaniel Mayer “Victor” Rothschild (1910-1990), 3rd Baron Rothschild, was a zoologist, Shell Oil executive, and wartime MI5 operative. He chaired the Cambridge University debating club that helped spot and groom the Cambridge Five, a Soviet spy ring that included Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, and Donald Maclean. Post-war, Rothschild advised British prime ministers on intelligence science and helped launch the trans-Atlantic Bilderberg network. Webb portrays him as Bilderberg’s silent founder and the archetype of deep-state financiers steering both energy and espionage. coldspur.comWikipedia

Henry Kissinger
Kissinger served as U.S. national-security adviser and secretary of state (1969-1977) and later counseled energy and defense firms worldwide. Webb casts him as the American hinge joining Rothschild-Shell intelligence to modern Pentagon programs, noting Kissinger’s personal access to presidents and oil fields. Kissinger’s patronage of the World Economic Forum further anchors Webb’s claim that WEF is a re-branded wartime cartel. His decades-long advocacy of realpolitik exemplifies the article’s thesis that “principle” often bows to resource dominance. World Economic Forum

Klaus Schwab
Schwab founded the World Economic Forum in 1971 and led it until his forced resignation amid misconduct allegations in 2025. Webb argues Schwab inherited his father’s Nazi-era industrial ties and now brokers Ukrainian aid deals through Davos networking. Schwab’s WEF, with its public-private mission, is labelled a façade behind which war-profiteer cartels regroup. Recent WEF governance scandals, Webb says, merely peel back that veneer. WSJWorld Economic Forum

Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands
Bernhard Lippe-Biesterfeld (1911-2004) co-founded the Bilderberg Group in 1954 after serving as a Royal Dutch Shell director and wartime Allied liaison. In 1976 he resigned from public roles when the Lockheed bribery inquiry revealed he had taken $1.1 million to steer fighter-jet purchases. Webb treats the scandal as proof that Shell-linked aristocrats used think-tanks to mask arms kickbacks. Bernhard’s fall illustrates how old Nazi-era oil networks transmuted into modern defense contracting. Wikipedia

William B. “Bill” Taylor Jr.
A retired Army officer and career diplomat, Taylor served as chargé d’affaires at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv (2019). His impeachment-probe testimony described how security assistance—especially Javelin anti-tank missiles—figured in U.S.–Ukraine bargaining. Webb alleges Taylor’s kin supplied an encrypted Senate BlackBerry that exposed side deals between arms sales and Ukrainian oligarchs. Taylor’s high-profile deposition makes him Webb’s symbol of “war-hawk” diplomacy pushing legacy contractors’ inventory. NPRThe Washington Post

Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, sat on the board of Ukrainian gas firm Burisma and formed several global investment vehicles. Webb says Hunter’s Senate-issued BlackBerry routed Rothschild Energy and Belt-and-Road pipeline negotiations through Alperovitch’s Kyiv servers. Congressional bank-record disclosures confirm that Hunter used shell entities for cross-border payments, although none prove bio-warfare ties. In Webb’s framework, Hunter embodies how private family networks exploit diplomatic channels for energy leverage. GovInfo

Dmitri Alperovitch
Alperovitch is the Russian-born U.S. cybersecurity expert who co-founded CrowdStrike in 2011. During the 2016 election-interference inquiry, his firm attributed the DNC hack to Russian actors, boosting his influence in Washington. Webb contends Alperovitch ran the Kyiv encryption hub that morphed into NABU, routing covert State-Department traffic worldwide. The claim taps into debates over CrowdStrike’s technical role versus alleged intelligence freelancing. nabu.gov.ua

Guy Burgess
Burgess was a British Foreign Office official who spied for the Soviet Union and, with Maclean, defected in 1951. Recruited at Cambridge under Rothschild’s watch, he became an emblem of elite betrayal. Webb cites Burgess to show Rothschild’s early talent-spotting for double agents. His case underpins Webb’s argument that aristocratic networks straddle ideology when corporate power is at stake. WikipediaWikipedia

Kim Philby
Harold “Kim” Philby rose to MI6 section chief while secretly transmitting vast troves of Western intelligence to Moscow. Exposed in 1963, he fled to the USSR and became the most notorious of the Cambridge Five. Webb invokes Philby to demonstrate how Rothschild’s debating society seeded decades of geopolitical realignment. Philby’s success underscores the article’s theme of covert loyalties hidden inside respectable institutions. Wikipedia

Donald Maclean
Maclean headed the American desk at the British Foreign Office before defecting with Burgess. He supplied the USSR detailed briefs on U.S.–UK nuclear strategy, accelerating Soviet bomb development. Webb references Maclean as more evidence that Rothschild’s circle balanced Cold-War power by leaking Western secrets. His fate illustrates long-term consequences of under-estimating private ideology in elite networks. WikipediaWikipedia

Oleg Deripaska
Deripaska is a Russian aluminum tycoon who has faced U.S. sanctions for alleged Kremlin links yet retained Western lobbying clout. Webb calls him a “fake Russian,” arguing he actually safeguards Rothschild mineral stakes in post-Soviet space. Deripaska’s history of funding political consultants on both sides of the Atlantic fits Webb’s picture of oligarchs masking global resource monopolies. His role bridges Soviet-era industrial assets to modern commodity supply chains. Wikipedia

“Jake Rothschild”
Named by Webb as a mineral-trading scion, “Jake Rothschild” is portrayed as Deripaska’s silent Western principal. Public documentation of such a figure is scarce; Webb presents the name as shorthand for Rothschild family mining interests. The usage reinforces the narrative that Rothschild energy wealth operates through proxies. Without open records, the claim remains speculative but consistent with Webb’s larger thesis.

Organizations / Programs

Royal Dutch Shell
Shell is an Anglo-Dutch energy giant whose German subsidiary Rhenania-Ossag supplied aviation fuel to the Third Reich while other branches fueled the Allies. Historians note Shell’s official history concedes a bifurcated wartime posture, prompting calls for an apology. Webb argues that post-war Shell re-channeled its intelligence arm into Bilderberg and WEF, enabling today’s “shell companies” in Ukraine. The firm’s WWII record drives his warning that corporate continuity can outlive ideological battles. openDemocracy

World Economic Forum (WEF)
Founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971, WEF convenes political and business elites at Davos under a banner of “public-private cooperation.” Critics have long accused it of laundering corporate agendas behind philanthropic language. Webb treats WEF as the polished successor to wartime oil cartels, now channeling Western aid into favored contractors. Schwab’s 2025 ouster over governance scandals, in Webb’s eyes, merely surfaced what lay beneath. WSJWorld Economic Forum

Bilderberg Group
Bilderberg is an invitation-only security and economic forum launched in 1954 by Prince Bernhard and European financiers, including Victor Rothschild. Meetings operate under Chatham House rules, fueling conspiracy theories about world governance. Webb says Bilderberg’s original brief was to keep Shell’s cross-bloc oil access intact while smoothing NATO procurement deals. The 1976 Lockheed scandal that dethroned Bernhard is cited as proof of those hidden quid pro quos. Wikipedia

Lockheed Martin (Lockheed)
Lockheed is America’s largest weapons exporter and the maker of FGM-148 Javelin missiles now central to Ukraine’s anti-tank defense. A 1970s congressional investigation found Lockheed paid foreign officials—including Prince Bernhard—millions in bribes to win aircraft contracts. Webb argues that the same pay-to-play culture persists in today’s Ukraine aid, with Javelins functioning as both battlefield kit and political leverage. The firm exemplifies how Cold-War procurement networks stay profitable across generations. Wikipediakyivpost.com

U.S. State Department
Charged with diplomacy, the State Department also manages security assistance and issues encrypted mobile devices to senior staff. According to Webb, modified BlackBerrys carried by envoys and Senate aides enabled off-books arms, energy, and bio-agent deals routed through Ukraine. Officially, State denies using its devices for covert contracting but acknowledges persistent cyber-security risks. The department’s ubiquity makes it, in Webb’s words, the perfect “plumbing” for deep-state operations.

U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms (SAA)
The SAA provides senators with secure communications and oversees Capitol cyber-infrastructure. Webb says an SAA-issued BlackBerry—passed to him by a relative of Ambassador Taylor—contained encrypted chats tying Hunter Biden to energy and weapons contracts. While the SAA declines comment on individual devices, its central IT role makes the claim plausible. The anecdote highlights how official hardware can become souvenir evidence in investigative journalism.

Diplomatic Security Service (DSS)
DSS is the State Department’s law-enforcement and security arm, protecting personnel and investigating visa fraud and counter-intelligence threats. Webb attended the Benghazi trial and heard DSS agents testify about deployments in Libya, fueling his suspicion that DSS officers double as covert operators. DSS denies unauthorized paramilitary roles, but congressional reports note its expanded presence in high-risk posts. Webb positions DSS as foot soldiers executing encrypted directives from Washington.

National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU)
NABU was established in 2015 to investigate high-level graft and receives technical aid from the U.S. and EU. Webb claims that CrowdStrike’s Dmitri Alperovitch embedded a secure-communications hub in NABU’s Kyiv offices, turning the bureau into a switchboard for global covert traffic. NABU says it focuses solely on corruption cases and has no intelligence mandate. The juxtaposition of anti-graft branding and alleged spycraft epitomizes Webb’s “shell within a shell” thesis. nabu.gov.ua

Task Force Orange / Intelligence Support Activity (ISA)
ISA is a classified U.S. Army unit inside JSOC that collects signals and human intelligence for special operations. Open records confirm its nickname “Task Force Orange” and its base ties to Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Webb alleges the unit ran “Royal Dutch Virus,” a clandestine bio-agent program that field-tested bugs from Ukraine to Wuhan. ISA’s very secrecy—no public budget line—makes the charge hard to verify yet central to Webb’s narrative. Wikipedia

Fort Belvoir
Fort Belvoir, located in Virginia’s Fairfax County, hosts the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and multiple classified commands. Its proximity to Washington allows quick coordination with the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence community. Webb singles it out as headquarters for Task Force Orange and a Q-cleared “biowar” hub linking Ukrainian labs to Asian outbreaks. Documented DTRA biosurveillance roles lend circumstantial weight to those allegations.

Cambridge Five Spy Ring
The Cambridge Five—Burgess, Maclean, Philby, Anthony Blunt, John Cairncross—passed British and U.S. secrets to the USSR from the 1930s through the 1960s. Their recruitment at Cambridge under the eye of elites like Victor Rothschild shattered Anglo-American trust in British security. Webb re-introduces them to show how well-placed insiders can tilt global power balances for decades. Their legacy supports his warning against underestimating elite private networks. Wikipedia

These profiles supply the historical and factual scaffolding behind Webb’s latest Substack, clarifying how each figure or institution fits his overarching argument that today’s Ukraine conflict is the newest branch on a very old corporate-intelligence tree.

In the past few substack posts, I have summarized three books I wrote a few years ago about Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab, and Royal Dutch Shell intel officers like Prince Bernhard and Victor Rothschild of Bilderberg fame. My strategy here is if you know who the real players are in the Deep State, you won’t spend time-fighting front companies and NGOs. I have likened this to trimming a tree versus pulling the diseased tree up by the roots.

Journalist George Webb has outlined in three books in 2020 how front think tanks like the World Economic Forum and Bilderberg trace their roots back to an intelligence organization used by Royal Dutch Shell to get Hitler and the Nazi war machine critical oil products in World War II through shell companies.

Why is it important to understand the Royal Dutch Shell and Nazi war machine roots of Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum? Because we are giving the shell companies billions of dollars right now in Ukraine - literally Shell’s shell companies.

The idea of giving billions to Ukraine to help them fight the Russian invasion sounds laudable, but when you drill down, you find the same defense contractors which go back to the original Lockheed bribery scandal that knocked Prince Bernhard of Royal Dutch Shell and family fame from the top spot at Bilderberg.

The key US State Department war hawk for Ukraine, Ambassador Bill Taylor, even used the Lockheed javelin missiles for Ukraine as a political entrapment for President Donald Trump to ensure that the Javelin orders would be secured for Ukraine.

Journalist George Webb reported about the Biden family’s use of encrypted text messages to Ukraine with Blackberry devices for oil and gas deals as well as US House arms deals to Ukraine in May of 2017. A Blackberry device from the US Senate Sergeant of Arms office was left with George Webb with the information given and the Blackberry device was provided by a possible relative of Ambassador William Taylor.

In May of 2017, I was able to pinpoint the backchannel of the overthrow of Libya to these encrypted US State Department Blackberry devices through Diplomatic Security Services personnel (DSS) acting in the role of covert operatives in Benghazi, Tripoli, and other remote locations.

In 2017, I identified Dmitri Aperovich’s intelligence operation in Kyiv (later identified as NABU) as the center of operations for these Blackberrys, but I was also able to tie illegal covert operations in Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, and Iran to these devices. I attended every day of the Benghazi tried and watched four different US State Department DSS officers testify to their presence in Benghazi to confirm this.

In May 2017, Journalist George Webb proposed that US State Department encryption was being used to conduct covert operations around the world through Ukraine including biological and nuclear programs through Ft. Belvoir in Virginia with a group called Task Force Orange.

Could Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab, and Royal Dutch Shell intel operatives really be using the US State Department for covert operations around the world to overthrow governments like Libya so Royal Dutch Shell could recoup its lost oil fields there? Could a Q-level security group out of Ft. Belvoir, Virginia named Task Force Orange really be acting at the headquarters for this operation?

Conspiracy theorists now will accuse me of leaving out Victor Rothschild, the silent founder of Bilderberg, Shell Oil executive, and British intelligence operative. (and some accuse me of even protecting the Rothschilds because I am supposedly a Mossad Agent).

No, I am not leaving out Victor Rothschild and the Kissinger connection to the Rothschilds. I have covered Hunter Biden’s deals on behalf of Rothschild Energy with those same encrypted US Senate-issued, State Department Blackberrys for the China Belt and Road pipeline to the Caspian Sea and through Pakistan. In fact, I have even outed Victor Rothschild’s debating society days at Cambridge with the Cambridge Five, giving key atomic secrets to the Soviets through Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, and Donald Maclean.

But I must admit, I do shy aware of Rothschild tropes. I am only interested in Rothschild Energy deals that connect directly to Hunter Biden’s Senate Sergeant of Arms Blackberry, issued by the US State Department and modified by Dmitri Alperovich’s NABU encryption group in Ukraine.

In 2020, I gave the name “Royal Dutch Virus” to the bioagents program with Task Force Orange at Fort Belvoir. I have been researching a bioagents program based in Ft. Belvoir’s Task Force Orange since 2017.

Unfortunately, one of the key doctors and the key Colonel who was also a nurse working in the Clinton White House were murdered.

I have strong evidence, by the way, that Task Force Orange was in Wuhan, China, during the outbreak of CoronaVirus. I did a story of the patsy victim of that operation, but that’s for another SubStack as I am at the SubStack email size limit.

Until then, here are some Royal Dutch Virus and Bavari 9/11 book excerpts…

You may also remember my exposes of Oleg Deripaska as a “Fake Russian” and in reality, being Jake Rothschild’s minerals man in Russia.
