[0:05:55 - 0:06:13] National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under President Nixon and Ford, the
Harvard Academic, nuclear strategist, the man who won a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Vietnam War, but who is also considered by many, a war criminal. That, Henry Kissinger.
[0:14:02 - 0:14:11] Henry Kissinger enrolled at
Harvard in 1947, balancing the life of a dedicated student with his ongoing ties to the counterintelligence corps.
[0:14:31 - 0:14:36] Harvard played a prominent role in the co-mingling of the state intelligence community in academia.
[0:14:36 - 0:14:47] James Conant,
Harvard's president from 1933 to 1955, was a key figure in the Manhattan Project, managing the delicate balance between scientists and the military.
[0:15:06 - 0:15:12] He was a staunch cold warrior, setting
Harvard's tone as an anti-communist stronghold.
[0:15:12 - 0:15:20] Another connection to the hidden UFO history was
Harvard's top astronomer, Dr. Donald Menzel, a leading UFO debunker in the 1950s.
[0:15:26 - 0:15:39] Recent claims by astrophysicist Dr. Beatrice Villoriau suggest Menzel ordered the destruction of
Harvard's astronomical photographic plates taken during the 1952 Washington DC UFO flap.
[0:15:39 - 0:15:45] He suddenly becomes the director of
Harvard Observatory, and he destroys one side of the photographic place.
[0:16:32 - 0:16:40] More on that later, another key figure, physicist Louis Brandscombe, earned his PhD from
Harvard in 1949,
[0:16:58 - 0:17:03] There was a close relationship between the institutions of state power and
Harvard hidden or not.
[0:17:03 - 0:17:10] For
Harvard and Kissinger, serving the Cold War machine, whether through the Department of Defense or the CIA, was a patriotic duty.
[0:18:11 - 0:18:19] He authored reports on psychological warfare, and with his mentor, William Elliott, launched a series of international seminars at
Harvard.
[0:25:42 - 0:25:51] His writing was noticed, and he was invited by McGeorge Bundy, a colleague and professor at
Harvard at this time, to work with the Council on Foreign Relations.
[0:30:16 - 0:30:25] By the late 1950s, Kissinger was a tenured
Harvard professor, a trusted advisor to the military and government, and a rising public intellectual.
[0:38:54 - 0:39:03] When Kissinger returned to
Harvard at the end of the war, it's plausible that he did so with intelligence ties and some knowledge of secret technology programs.
[0:41:22 - 0:41:38] Some argue that he was bought by the Rockefeller's early on, particularly through a grant he received while earning his PhD, and that his
Harvard career was merely a cover for deeper intelligence work advising MJ-12 through a specialized think tank known as PI-40.
