Was Dr. James Bowman part of MKULTRA? (Valerie Jarrett's father)...and then some Had to add 'and then some' due to the twists and turns that came up as I was putting this post together. http://www.thehistorymakers.org/biography/dr-james-bowman-39  Geneticist, medical professor and pathologist Dr. James Bowman   His research on enzyme deficiency at the University of Chicago sent him abroad to do population studies. Bowman traveled to Mexico, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Uganda among other places. From 1981 to 1982, Bowman studied under the Henry J. Kaiser Senior Fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.  Curiously the above bio omits his work in Aurora, CO. (recall rumors of Aurora shooter and MKULTRA? https://www.henrymakow.com/2014/05/Colorado-Shooter-Linked-to-MK-Ultra-Expert.html ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_E._Bowman Following residency, Bowman served as chair of pathology at Provident Hospital. He was drafted again and spent 1953 to 1955 as chief of pathology for the Medical Nutrition Laboratory at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Aurora, Colorado. After leaving the military Bowman decided to move overseas. http://www.thehistorymakers.org/sites/production/files/BOW03BD002.jpg  Dr. James Bowman and close friend, Narcy Firouz, being greeted by Shiraz, Iran's Governor General 1959 Narcy Firouz's wife Louise Firouz: http://archive.is/HTxeV  Before returning to Cornell to finish her degree,[3] she took a brief trip to Tehran where she and her brother were met by a friend who introduced them to Narcy Firouz, a Yale-trained civil engineer and 'prince' descended from the Qajar dynasty that ruled Iran from 1779 to 1925. After graduation in 1956, Louise agreed to meet Narcy in Paris. They were married next year and settled in Shiraz, where they lived in great style — she later remembered, hosting vast lunches for groups that regularly topped 30 people.  Among their regular guests were the historian of Persian art Arthur Upham Pope and Kermit Roosevelt Jr, who had masterminded the CIA’s Operation Ajax, which resulted in the overthrow of the Government of the Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq in 1953. Curiously Kermit's wiki omitted the info about his roll in Operation Ajax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Roosevelt (Princess) Louise Firouz's father, John Gallup Laylin, international Lawyer https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1979/02/18/john-laylin-international-lawyer-dies/85873147-091f-48d6-b6aa-839773dd46b5/?utm_term=.74a70bbc32aa  1979 senior partner with the Washington law firm of Covington & Burling, died Friday at Fairfax Hospital after he was injured by a falling tree branch on his farm in Great Falls, Va. Mr. Laylin served as special assistant to the undersecretary of the Treasury from 1933 to 1935, and helped draft the gold clause resolution that was adopted by Congress and took the United States off the gold standard. After leaving the Treasury, he joined Covington & Burling and specialized in international law. During 1940 and early 1941, he advised governments in exile, including the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia, on protecting their citizens' property in this country from being seized by the German government. During the late 1940s, he did legal work for the Iranian government, which won a case in the U.N. Security Council that helped lead to an end of Soviet wartime occupation of northern Iran. Mr. Laylin also negotiated the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 between India and Pakistan. He had worked as an adviser on fiscal matters to a number of foreign governments, and was a member of the State Department's advisory committee on the law of the sea. He was a principal founder of the Washington Institute of Foreign Affairs and president of the Telluride Association from 1927 to 1928. Also:  Louise and Narcy were married at the farm, Hidden Springs, in Virginia and had two daughters, Roshan and Ateshe and a son Caren. Roshan married (and then divorced) Sir David Reddaway,[7] and had 3 children: Alexander, Touran and Milo. Alex started his own shirt business, Touran has a successful job in Dubaï, and Milo is a student and a cadet in the army. Ateshe married Björn Larsson, a Swedish diplomat, a had 2 children: Leyla and Narcy. Her husband works as a director in the European Union, her eldest daughter Leyla is a student and a professional horse rider, and her son, Narcy, is a student in high school. Caren married Leyla Filsoof, and had 2 children: Samira and Kamran. Re: Sir David Reddaway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reddaway  Reddaway was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where his father, Norman Reddaway, also a British diplomat, was posted at the time.  In 2002, his appointment as British ambassador to Iran was rejected by the Iranian government, with some Iranian newspapers incorrectly accusing him of being "a Jew and a member of MI6".[4][5] However, was this his father? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Reddaway https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Norman_Reddaway Characterised by John Pilger as 'One of Her Majesty's most experienced liars' over his role in the bloody coup which brought General Suharto to power in Indonesia in the late 1960's, [1] Norman Reddaway was the head of the Information Research Department of the UK Foreign Office.  That's Momma Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro and young BarryO's neck of the woods, no?  Another tale of intrique that I've posted on in the past, brings up JFK stories and curiously enough the Subud cult comes up again. (recall Obama's Birth Certificate long form... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/12/hawaii-obama-birth-certificate-fuddy/3996657/) https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/showthread.php?10566-Indonesian-Subud-cult-may-have-had-a-major-follower-(other-than-Obama-s-mother)  Ann Soetoro was also hired for her World Bank projects a number of Subud sect members from the International Subud Center in Cilandak on the outskirts of Jakarta...The mystical Javanese religious sect (Subud), was founded by Indonesian Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo, also known as "Bapak," Bapak was a key player in the 1965 CIA-engineered coup against President Sukarno in Indonesia. Subud has also been accused of being yet another CIA mind-control religious operation. The Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) and Sukarno's Foreign Minister, Dr. Subandrio, as well as Ceylon's assassinated Prime Minister, Solomon Bandaranaike, accused Subud of being a CIA front. The sect continues to maintain a religious compound in Front Royal, Virginia, about an hour's drive from CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. WMR has obtained a declassified CIA memorandum prepared by the CIA's Asia Division of the Office of East Asia Analysis, dated February 15, 1985 and titled "Indoensia's Suharto: Losing the Magic?" that states that none other than Indonesia's CIA-installed dictator, General Suharto, was an adherent of the Javanese mystical cult, also known as "Javanism." Ann Soetoro's work for the World Bank, Ford Foundation, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Development Alterbative, Inc. -- a suspected CIA front -- and Indonesian banks, helped to prop up the Suharto dictatorship. Ms. Soetoro spoke fluent Indonesian, as well as Javanese.
