(False flag terror in the US began well before 9-11)
On July 4, 1940, with throngs of holiday visitors at the New York World’s Fair,
a time bomb planted in the British Pavilion exploded, instantly killing two NYC policemen
and badly mauling five others. Was [BSC Chief William] Stephenson behind the blast
in an attempt to frame Nazis and their American sympathizers?
Were these officers sacrificed to win American sympathy
and draw a reluctant United States into the Second World War?
Did Brits Kill New York City Cops to Get U.S. into WWII?
By Marc Wortman
(abridged by henrymakow.com)
The sequence of events appears to tell
a damning story: On June 4, 1940, Nazi Germany shoved the last
British troop off the Continent at Dunkirk. Adolf Hitler moved his
forces into position for a final cross-Channel invasion and
occupation of England.
(The “Man called Intrepid”)
That same month the new British Prime
Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, dispatched a shadowy figure, Sir
William Stephenson, left, to set up a spy shop for
Britain’s MI6 in midtown Manhattan. A hero of World War One and
self-made multi-millionaire, Stephenson and Churchill believed that nothing was
more important to their nation’s survival than American entry into the war against Hitler.
Then, on July 4, 1940, with throngs of
holiday visitors at the New York World’s Fair, a time bomb planted
in the British Pavilion exploded, instantly killing two New York City
policemen and badly mauling five others. Was Stephenson behind the
blast in an attempt to frame Nazis and their American sympathizers?
Were these officers sacrificed to win American sympathy and draw a
reluctant United States into the Second World War?
This past Independence Day marked the
seventy-seventh anniversary of the unsolved crime. “It’s a cold
case, but still an open case,” New York City Police Lieutenant
Bernard Whalen tells me. He has scrutinized the original bombing case
files while researching two books he wrote on the history of the
NYPD. “There was a massive investigation at the time. The FBI was
involved.” No effort was spared–except to get at those he
believes were likeliest to have knowledge of the bomb, the security
staff of the British Pavilion itself.
Although the United States was
officially neutral, in the midst of a world at war, it was fast
becoming a shadowy battlefield. New York teemed with spies, political
agitators, and foreign agents, many with violence in mind for their
enemies, some desperate enough to go to any length to sway American
public opinion. While Whalen won’t pin blame on any single possible
culprit, he says after his own studies of the case, “You could draw
the conclusion that it was an inside job.” At one point the NYPD
suspected as much, but were stopped from getting to the bottom of the
case.
TARGET
…Among various foreign agents and
organizations, Stephenson’s new British Security Coordination alone
enjoyed a protected status. Headquartered in offices labeled Passport
Control at Rockefeller Center, his operation worked, illegally, with
a sympathetic Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House to bolster
American support for the British and also to attack German agents
operating in the Western Hemisphere.
Bombs and bomb scares were recurrent
events. In the two weeks before July 4, 1940, bombs had gone off at
the German Library of Information, a Nazi propaganda service in the
German Consulate building in the Battery, and at the offices of The
Daily Worker newspaper, organ of the Communist Party, in its East
12th Street building. In the days just prior to the July 4th holiday,
a threat had been phoned into the British Pavilion switchboard
operator, warning her to “get out of the building. We’re going to
blow it up.”
Earlier that afternoon an electrician
spotted what the New York Times described variously as a
“buff-colored fiber satchel” and “a small overnight bag,” in
a top-floor electrical utility room housing controls for the
building’s rudimentary air conditioning system. Returning later, he
looked more closely. The electrician heard ticking within and alerted
security. Security guards carried the satchel past the line of people
waiting to see the Magna Carta, then outside through the crowds
moving between the neighboring national pavilions. They carried it
behind the Polish Pavilion to a spot along a fence next to the Grand
Central Parkway.
At home with his family for the
holiday, Joseph Lynch of the NYPD’s six-man Bomb and Forgery
Squad–as it was then known–got the call. He picked up his
partner, Ferdinand Socha, and drove to the fairgrounds. … “It’s the
business.” Those were Lynch’s last words. It exploded, tearing the two
detectives apart and wounding five other officers, some of them
seeking to hold back bystanders. Two of those policemen were
critically injured.
The bodies of two policeman killed by a bomb explosion at the New York World’s Fair taken on July 4, 1940 at the rear of the Polish Pavilion. The bomb disguised as a portable radio was being removed to the lawn near the polish exhibit when it exploded, killing two and injuring several persons.
The bomb blew a hole five feet-wide and
four feet-deep in the ground and shattered windows in the Polish
Pavilion more than one hundred feet away. Metal shards and clothing
fragments were found scattered more than 75 yards off according to
news reports….
Nobody suspected to be behind the
World’s Fair bombing was ever arrested. No credible suspects were
ever turned up. News coverage died down. Reports instead returned to
the fair’s glittery events justifying the “World of Tomorrow”
theme for millions of visitors. But the war of words over the world
war being fought everywhere but the United States had taken a
terrifyingly violent turn at home. Americans were now forced to pay
attention to the war that they had hoped to ignore.
CONCLUSION
The failure to turn up even a suspect
has led Whalen to question other possible motives individuals and
groups might have had for carrying out a bombing. Much like today’s
terror attacks, he thinks grabbing public attention–not revenge–was
a likelier primary motive. He says, “If you were going to do
something to garner world attention, you couldn’t pick a better
target.”
(Detectives Joseph Lynch l. and Ferdinand Socha r. early US sacrifices to the “British” cause.)
His suspicions of an “inside job,”
though not involving the electrician, were aroused by reports he read
in the police investigation files with, he says, “indications that
police could not speak to security staff without permission, which
was not freely granted. If I wanted to solve a crime, I wouldn’t
impede investigators in any shape or form.”
He says, “It could have just been
the stuffy British attitude, but the authorities at the Pavilion were
interfering” with police efforts to interview security staff
members, according to the files he read. Even the U.S. government
seems not to have followed up on leads. While he has seen file copies
of FBI letterhead material about the investigation, his request to
the FBI for files related to the bombing investigation came back
empty. The FBI told him they had nothing.
Given Stephenson’s known willingness
to carry out criminal acts on American soil to aid his cause, it’s
not far-fetched to conclude his British Security Coordination was
possibly behind the blast at his nation’s own World Fair pavilion.
“You’d get a lot more sympathy [for the British cause],” Whalen
speculates, “if brave guys were killed.” He won’t come down on
one side or the other without definitive evidence, but says, “It’s
as good a theory as any.”
