and was recruited into the counterintelligence corps or CIC.
The CIC, essentially the Army's FBI, played a key role in post-war Europe securing Nazi technology, hunting war criminals, and safeguarding military secrets.
According to historian Nick Cook's great book The Hunt for Zero Point, CIC agents interrogated Schauberger for nine months, fully aware of his most classified work.
After the war ended, another Army CIC agent, Neil Gershimer, tricked Schauberger into signing all of his work over to the United States.
So this would infer that CIC agents of the same organization as Kissinger in the same field of operations had already gathered the intelligence to understand the secret program.
If the CIC was actively collecting intelligence on this exotic technology, Kissinger would have almost certainly been aware of it.
Philip J. Corsa was a member, another CIC agent who went into government.
And in Corsa's case, how we went from the Army's CIC to a National Security position in government to knowledge of the UFO program.
All of this on top of his CIC work in Germany, managing the transition of Nazi scientists, and possibly their exotic propulsion research.
Leaked MJ-12 memos from the 1940s reference CIC involvement in UFO investigations, including Roswell.
His rise to one of the highest positions in the country may not be unconnected to the relationships he had built since his time as a CIC agent.
This seems like a direct result of his work for the CIC and for the Psychological Strategy Board, and who knows perhaps to the MJ-12.
