Claims About Jeff Bezos’s Grandfather, DARPA and the Apollo Affair

Did you know that Jeff Bezos's grandfather co-founded DARPA?

You know, the super secret Pentagon project

that literally

invented the internet. Bezos has repeatedly credited

his grandfather, Lawrence Preston Geis, as one of the

biggest influences in his life. But what most people don't

know is that his grandfather wasn't just some ordinary

guy. LP Geis worked for the US government in

the Atomic

Energy Commission, the federal agency that was responsible for

America's nuclear program. And in 1958, he helped

establish the Advanced Research Projects Agency, now

known as DARPA. In the 1960s, Geis was the head

of the AEC, and around that same time, it was discovered that

roughly 300 pounds of weapons-grade uranium

was missing from a nuclear facility in Apollo, Pennsylvania.

This facility was operated by a company called NUMEC, founded

by Zelman Shapiro, who is allegedly Ben

Shapiro's uncle. And just a few years later,

coincidentally,

Israel developed its first nuclear weapon, and the CIA determined that the

material they used to do this came from the missing NUMEC

uranium. This scandal is better known as the Apollo Affair.

I bet you didn't know that the Bezos family

was also wrapped up in this

scandal. Now, we're all familiar with the story,

emphasis on story,

of how Bezos supposedly built Amazon in his garage in

1994. Just another brilliant American

entrepreneur

who started with nothing and built one of the largest corporations

in the world.

What a beautiful American success story.

It truly makes you believe that if you just work hard enough,

maybe one day you

can have a billion-dollar empire, too.

It's literally the same exact story we were told about Facebook, but if you look

hard enough, Facebook was actually a DARPA program.

So was Bezos just some ordinary guy who happened to build one of the most

powerful corporations in the world?

Or is he just the face of a CIA front company like Mark

Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, and Larry Ellison?

Oh, and if you try to look up LP Geis' records

via the FOIA Act,

you'll discover that they've all been destroyed. I wonder why that is.

Now, I guess all those CIA contracts that Bezos just happens to keep

landing make a little bit more sense if he was a CIA

officer, right? If you want a little bit more info on the

true story of Amazon and

Bezos, just comment Amazon below, and I'll send it over to you.
