BLOCKBUSTER: Jeff Bezos’ Grandfather Was President of Monsanto

BEZOS’ GRANDFATHER: ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, DARPA/ARPA

By: Housatonic™ ??‏ @HousatonicITS

In 1995, Jeff Bezos’ parents took a $250,000 gamble on his fledgling startup

One IPO and 3 splits later, his parents’ stake could be worth almost $30 billion today. That would make them wealthier than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen

I am NOT saying Bezos committed insider trading

But I AM saying that grandfather LP Gise was a director at the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) and key person to approve and fund ARPA , from which ARPAnet evolved , and now Amazon is the largest cloud provider on Earth.

Don’t believe me? Search this for “Gise” (or LP Gise).
apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fullte… Yea, Bezos’ grandfather was a real “nobody”. Just an everyday manager at the AEC.

See 1967 Sandia Lab News – planet4589.org/space/archive/…

Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

LP Gise promotion at Sandia pictured in same Sandia Lab News ( VOL. 16, NO. 14/ JULY 3, 1964 ) as remembers the JFK Assassination .

More good background on LP Gise (VOL. 16, NO. 13/JUNE 19,1964)

“Born in Laredo TX, April 23, 1915, he is a graduate of Columbus University (Bachelor’s degree, Commercial Science) and in 1940 of Strayer College (Master’s degree, Commercial Science), both in Washington DC.”

“He was a Lt.

LP Gise and the RFD-1 Reactor Reentry Test

So now DARPA / ARPA … Who did come up with the name ?

In a 1975 conversation , LP Gise mentioned that he believes Lt. Col. George Brown, USAF, a military assistant in, Holaday’s office, actually came up with the name “ARPA”.

In January 1958 , LP Gise was offered the top job at ARPA (according to this 1975 document on DARPA)

Ultimately through, LP Gise was recruited in 1958 “from the AEC to handle the Agency’s [ARPA’s] financial management activity”

1958 – “An office of Program Control + Administration (led by Gise) consisting of 7 civilian professionals, was set up to handle budgetary control and, assignment of funds to Service agents for contracting (through what became formalized as the “ARPA Order” system), ….”

The IDA (Institute of Defense Analysis) was the first to help plan the first group of ARPA projects. Upon creating a TOD (Techncial Operations Division), Gise was elevated to the position of Assistant Director for Administration.

LP Gise was incredibly influential in the procurement model of early ARPA .

“The Saturn IB (pronounced “one B”, also known as the up-rated Saturn I) was an American launch vehicle commissioned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Apollo program. “

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_IB

Who could have guessed that LP Gise was there for the Saturn IB budget meetings in the fall of 1958 for ARPA … I have a lot to read on the subject, mostly grabbing highlights now.

What? The grandfather of Jeff Bezos was director at DARPA and Sandia, and was thanked by the US Navy for nuclear warhead SSBM (surface to surface ballistic missiles) tech for US submarines?

I thought Amazon only got big because Bezos is “son of an immigrant”! Was LP Gise (grandfather of Jeff Bezos ) the man at the Atomic Energy Commission ( AEC ) that signed over control of the Rocky Flats Plant in the 1960s to DOW Chemical ????

How deep does the rabbit hole go on this path? You know, Rocky Flats Plant ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Fla…

Rocky Flats made nukes . #

LP Gise – DOW Chemical – Jeff Bezos – I’m sure the Huffington Post would be all over this today if it connected to President Trump.

Rocky Flats Made Nukes. Then It Made A Mess. Now It’s About To Become A Public Park.

How clean is “clean enough” when your park is an old radioactive Superfund site?https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rocky-flats-colorado_us_591c81c5e4b034684b08bc13 Crazy – Found the copies of the Rocky Flats / Gise papers on a CDC government site – Download them for yourself – cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdf… This looks like a fun read you can get on Google books – “
Elements of Controversy: The Atomic Energy Commission and Radiation Safety”

And there that pesky ol’ LP Gise is again, discussing nuclear weapons testing in 1956, as a regional manger at the Atomic Energy Commission. Just a great big nobody – Just a footnote in the “How Amazon was created” book.

How interesting – So LP Gise signs over Rocky Flats management to DOW Chemical under HD Doan (last member of Dow family to manage DOW Chemical)

Now, Guess who had a dad who was a lifetime exec at DuPont? Of course ….. Robert Mueller ‘s own father, Robert Swan Mueller Jr. So LP Gise was a US Navy officer (admiral actually), as was Robert Swan Mueller Jr., Born one year apart. Hmmm… Robert “Highly Enriched Uranium” Mueller’s dad is widely rumored to be a Nazi Paperclip (Heinrich Muller). Now the wheels are turning.
