Nightmare in Dreamland

One of the most interesting events in LCN history (aside from Apalachin) 45 years ago today.

22 paperback copies of an addendum edition of Eye of the Chickenhawk are available for free. Expressions of interest can be made by direct message to this account over the coming month of May. If a request is successful, at the end of the month you will be asked to provide an address for postage. Priority will be given to mutuals who have contributed to the grassroots marketing of the book or engaged with its research. The 22 paperback copies will be prepended with the addendum below. Which will be signed by the author.

@DanaDooDah @tgdeceiver @the_Hotstar Some of Thevis' attornies certainly had interesting backgrounds. I believe this one incorporated a few entities on his behalf.

@tgdeceiver @the_Hotstar I’m still fleshing out connections to Ames from other Atlanta business partners Thevis had but after mapping out his businesses, many of the lawyers (including this one) actually held the title in their names to his shops & film companies. Huge shell game.

Eye of the Chickenhawk Addendum: 1. An association has since been discovered between the child pornographer Roy Ames in Houston, who was associated with the child murderer Dean Corll, and a child pornographer in Atlanta named Michael Thevis, whose music recording studios were associated with Wayne Williams, the alleged Atlanta Child Murderer.[1] The evidence of this association is two-fold. @DanaDooDah discovered both men shared a criminal lawyer named Gilbert H. Deitch.[2] And @exquaesitor discovered both men had business dealings with a pornography distribution company based in New York, called Star Distributors. Which was operated by a New Jersey organised crime figure named Robert DiBernardo.[3] 2. In the section of the book dealing with the Elm Guest House and the BBC pedophile ring, an unnamed private car service is mentioned in relation to the disappearance of Martin Allen from the Australian High Commissioner’s residence in 1979. I have since discovered, that according to investigative work by a woman named Cathy Fox, this company was likely called the following names at the following times: BB Communications Ltd 19/06/1984, B B Communications Ltd 06/12/1988, Lime Grove Cars Ltd 27/07/1988, B.B. Enterprises (Vehicles) 30/08/1990, Niven Ltd 1717194 dissolved 2009, Niven and Co, Helevision Ltd, Trident Heritage t/a Trident Niven.[4] This car service was owned by a convicted pedophile named Niven James Sinclair, and was also the same one used by the BBC to provide chauffeurs for its stars. Jimmy Savile’s long time chauffeur, a convicted pedophile named David Smith, had been an employee of this car service.[5] 3. In the section of the book entitled ‘Spartacus International’, it’s mentioned John Stamford sold the publishing apparatus of the Spartacus network to a German holding company called Bruno Gmunder Verlag after he came under investigation in Amsterdam in 1986. What isn’t mentioned is Bruno Gmunder Verlag was owned by Christian von Maltzahn. The significance of the “von” shouldn’t have escaped me. But then I came upon a reference to a “von Maltzan” in Gravity’s Rainbow, and a bell began to ring within my head.  “There is a link to the United States. A link to Russia. Why do you think von Maltzan and I saw the Rapallo treaty through? It was necessary to move east. Wimpe, the V-man, was always there. Why do you think we wanted Krupp to sell them agricultural equipment so bad?”. von Maltzan is the alternative spelling for the same family name von Maltzahn. It turns out John Stamford sold Spartacus International to a descendant of the Prussian nobility. And not just any descendant. One whose family had been deeply involved in the politics of Germany between 1850-1950, and seemingly, also the dorian tradition of aristocratic pederasty. The “von Maltzan” referenced in Gravity’s Rainbow is Adolf Georg von Maltzan(1877-1927). One of Germany’s chief diplomats during the Weimar Republic, who served as Foreign Minister from 1925 until his death in a plane crash in 1927. Another member of the family, Vollrath von Maltzan(1899-1967), oversaw the commercial division of IG Farben during WW2. The significance of this is, the sales divisions of IG Farben and the du Pont family chemical company, among others, entered into secret dyestuff patent transfer agreements to institute a de-facto international chemical cartel, which, had effectively controlled the ebbs and flows of industrial production in the lead up to, and then during, WW2. At least until 1942, when the American end of this secret arrangement was exposed. Most interestingly though, and most relevant to the book at hand, was a member of the family named Alfred von Maltzan-Wedell(1792-1858). Who was convicted of breaching sodomy laws in Berlin in 1852. Private diaries belonging to Alfred von Maltzan, which were seized by authorities and then studied for the purpose of psychiatry, apparently detailed a network of aristocratic pederasts in Berlin. What appears to have been one of them, a lieutenant from a noble family named Carl Ernst Wilhelm von Zastrow(1821-1877), was convicted of the rape, torture, and attempted murder of a 5-year old boy named Emil Handke in 1869. He was suspected of having murdered a 16-year old named Ernst Corny in similar fashion two years earlier.[6] No more can be made of this for now, at least by me, other than, Friedrich Engels made the following remark to Karl Marx in personal correspondence that same year, 1869: “The Urning you sent me is a very curious thing. These are extremely unnatural revelations. The paederasts are beginning to count themselves, and discover that they are a power in the state. Only organisation was lacking, but according to this source it apparently already exists in secret. And since they have such important men in all the old parties and even in the new ones, from Rosing to Schweitzer, they cannot fail to triumph. Guerre aux cons, paix aus trous-de-cul [war on the cunts, peace to the arse-holes] will now be the slogan. It is a bit of luck that we, personally, are too old to have to fear that, when this party wins, we shall have to pay physical tribute to the victors. But the younger generation!” [7] Sources: [1] “Still another published report stated that Wayne Williams used to take his Gemini recording group (named after the astrological sign of Williams, who was born on May 27, 1958) to the Apogee Recording Studio on Simpson Street. The post studio—complete with grand pianos, Jacuzzi whirlpool and sauna—had been owned by Mike Thevis, 52, who had turned the 25-cent peep show, among other things, into an estimated $100-million pornographic enterprise. [. . .] At both studios formerly owned by Thevis and another studio where Wayne Williams reportedly had worked, vandalism occurred after Williams was implicated in the Atlanta murders. Expensive equipment was smashed, and recordings were destroyed. Some investigators asked a valid question: Were the voices of any of Atlanta’s young murder victims on those recordings that had been destroyed?” [The List, Chet Dettlinger & Jeff Prugh, 1983, page 345] [2] A document within an FBI FOIA release on Roy Ames lists, “Gilbert H. Deitch, Suite 2005, 100 Colony Square, Atlanta, Georgia, 30361”, as the attorney Roy Ames used to make a request for FBI files on himself in 1975. https://vault.fbi(dot)gov/roy-ames/ “Thevis, who escaped from an Indiana jail April 28 and is the subject of an international search, was charged with 14 crimes, including the personal execution in 1970 of a competitor whose body was found stuffed in the trunk of his car at Hartsfield International Airport. The result of a three-year investigation, the indictment also charged Atlanta attorney Gilbert Deitch with conspiracy to commit murder and attorney Joe salem and Dr. Arthur M. Pruce, both of Atlanta, with conspiracy to ‘fix’ a federal case in New Orleans for Thevis.” [‘4 Attorneys included in Federal Indictment’, The Atlanta Constitution, June 13 1978] [3] “In his dealings with one New York company, Star Distributors, Ames received a cash payment and several thousand copies of the finished product, Robinson said. Star Distributors is said to be one of the largest distributors of pornographic materials in the country. Federal investigators believe its operator, Robert DiBernardo, is a New Jersey organised crime lieutenant.” [‘Despite conviction, ex-porn dealer denies return to business’, The Houston Chronicle, July 5 1981, page 72.] “At least one North Carolina police intelligence unit has copies of invoices showing Thevis regular dealings with Star Distributors Ltd. in New York City. State and federal investigators have linked Robert DiBernardo, who they say is a top member of the DeCavalcante family, with Star Distributors.” [‘Tiny Piece of a Pornography Empire’,  Winston-Salem Journal, North Carolina, July 12 1978, page 2.] [4] The source of this information is investigative work done by Cathy Fox, which, as of 2026, can still be found at cathyfox.wordpress(dot)com/2016/07/09/niven-sinclair-child-rapist-worked-for-the-bbc-for-30-years/ [5] “Niven Sinclair was paid millions of pounds to run a chauffeur service for the broadcaster from the late 1970s until at least 2006, despite being a paedophile – with convictions that included raping a child at gunpoint. His firm was responsible for transporting celebrities including Jimmy Savile as well as guests including Ted Heath, the prime minister at the time, to and from BBC studios.  One of the drivers employed by Sinclair was David Smith, another convicted paedophile who went on to abuse at least two children at the BBC’s studios.” [‘BBC paid millions to paedophile chauffeur’, The Telegraph, 23 August 2024.] [6] The details on this are extremely scarce. The information has been tentatively pieced together from the following sources, which deal in the details with vagueness and ideological bent. [The evolution of the questionnaire in German sexual science: A methodological narrative, Douglas Pretsell, 2019], [The German Invention of Homosexuality, Robert Beachy, Journal of Modern History, Volume 82, 2010], [The Age of the Urning- Queer Identities and Advocacy in Germany, 1864−1897, Douglas Pretsell, 2021], [The Age of the Urning- Queer Identities and Advocacy in Germany, 1864−1897, Douglas Pretsell, 2021] [7] MECW, Volume 43, p. 295, marxists.architexturez(dot)net/archive/marx/works/1869/letters/69_06_22.htm.

Boston Priest Paul R. Shanley, abused teenage boys in the late 1960s-70s, targeting runaways at Cardell's Café. He also shared info about homeless boys with members of the satanic cult The Process Church, who were recruiting at the same Café, helping each other find new victims.

Suffice to say, there's a lot of intrigue in Boston's underworld and I'll probably continue researching the topic.

It was FBI agent Rico who persuaded Bulger and his close associate Stephen Flemmi to murder Oklahoma City millionaire Roger Wheeler in 1981 to cover-up a large scale skimming operation. Rico was a manager at Wheeler's World Jai-Alai business venture.
