Killing Congressmen Boggs, Begich, Collins, and Mills - 1972 to 1973
In 1972, airplane “accidents” became the KGB’s principal method for killing Members of Congress, as they were an easy and certainly more acceptable alternative to the obviously suspicious traffic “accidents.”
In less than four years, five Congressmen were killed in airplane “accidents” while another Congressman was killed with a shotgun in an alleged “suicide.” The KGB admitted to culpability in these six deaths, just as they admitted to killing seven other Members of Congress over the course of twenty-six years.
The first in the KGB’s series of airplane “accidents” was on October 16, 1972, when a plane carrying House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Congressman Nick Begich disappeared in the Alaska wilderness while Boggs was making a campaign appearance for Begich.
“Campaign workers” were fully responsible for causing Boggs to miss a “commercial flight,” and the trip itself was completely unnecessary for Majority Leader Hale Boggs during the busy campaign season.
The campaign workers “let him sleep a few extra hours, passing up a commercial flight to Juneau and chartering the plane flown by Jonz, owner of Pan-Alaska Airways.
“Ironically, it was a campaign trip Begich and Boggs probably did not have to make. Begich polled 37,900 votes to 16,500 for his two Republican opponents in the August Alaska primary election. Most political observers believe he would have no trouble in his re-election bid.”
The chartered plane that was used for a “campaign trip” that the two Congressmen “did not have to make” has never been found, and both Congressmen are “presumed dead.”
As for “campaign workers” being party to killing Members of Congress, Chapter 1 clearly shows that CIA officers can be put into position anywhere, and nothing could be easier than becoming a “campaign worker.”
Campaign workers would also be useful in keeping Boggs up late with questions so that they would have an excuse to “let him sleep a few extra hours” and pass up a “commercial flight.” They could then put him on the privately owned Pan-Alaska Airways for the fatal trip.
There is no way to determine if the KGB used their prescribed method of “sabotage” in “political murders” on this occasion, but they clearly revived the “need for sleep” factor.
A short fifty-three days after Congressmen Boggs and Begich were killed, Congressman George Collins became the KGB’s next flying fatality while he was returning to Chicago on December 8, 1972.
The Congressman’s plane, United Airlines Flight 553, a Boeing 737, was “descending near 71st and Lawndale when it plunged to the ground, smashed through a row of one-story houses and burst into flames.”
The pilot, Captain Wendell Lewis Whitehouse, had “about 18,000 hours of flying time,” including “2,435 hours” in a Boeing 737.
But on the flight that killed Congressman Collins, Captain Whitehouse “failed to maintain flying speed” during his “final approach” to Midway airport. The NTSB report cites a “rapid deterioration of air speed” and the pilot’s failure to “apply effective corrective action.” The report also cites the pilot’s “failure to exercise positive flight management earlier during the approach.”
As noted earlier, the KGB’s “political murders” were sometimes recorded as “suicide.” Less than six months after killing three Members of Congress in airplane “accidents,” the KGB used an alleged “suicide” by shotgun to snuff out a Member of Congress.
Congressman William O. Mills was shot to death, allegedly by his own hand, on May 24, 1973. He was found with “a single 12-gauge shotgun wound in the left side of his chest . . . . The automatic gun and a single spent shell were at his side.”
Congressman Mills, “a Republican whose 1971 special election was aided by an unreported cash transfer of $25,000 from the Nixon campaign committee, was found shot to death and the authorities called his death an apparent suicide . . . . Mr. Mills had left at least seven notes, including one found on his body . . . . One official said that in one of the notes, Mr. Mills said that ‘he had done nothing wrong but said he couldn’t prove it, and so there was no other way out.’”
“Mr. Mills was reported to have had no serious domestic or personal problems.”
“Three of his Congressional aides, including his former campaign treasurer,” were killed in “an automobile accident in 1972.”
The Congressman’s death “followed by five days the disclosure by the General Accounting Office that Mr. Mills’ 1971 campaign was aided by an unreported cash transfer from the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President.”
There had been an “unreported cash transfer of $25,000” from a political committee to the Congressman’s campaign in a “special election” two years earlier, and therefore, the Congressman, whose campaign treasurer had already been killed, allegedly killed himself with a “12-gauge shotgun” and “left at least seven suicide notes,” one in which he allegedly stated he “had done nothing wrong but said he couldn’t prove it, and so there was no other way out.”
Congressman Mills’ “special election” in 1971 was held to fill the seat of Congressman Rogers Morton, who had resigned to become President Nixon’s Interior Secretary. Morton told newsmen that the $25,000 transfer to the Mills campaign back in 1971 was “perfectly proper and above-board.”
