Unsealing and translating the purloined copy the old Soviet Era Politburo Archive Time Capsule after nearly 50 years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation declassified former director J. Edgar Hoover’s extensive missing file on the WTB&TS Bethel family, sources confirmed Monday. “These 3,600 documents reveal that the New York  Bethel “Family” were of significant interest to J. Edgar Hoover during his extra-judicial intelligence-gathering campaigns,” said Andrew Jewett, an American History professor at Harvard, adding that from 1964-66 the FBI chief had obtained numerous tapes of the “Family” and instructed federal agents to transcribe all conversations of the One Headquarters

 “According to multiple letters to officials, Hoover suspected that  Minister family patriarch Anthony Morris Jr, also known as “Tight Pants Tony”, AKA Cartoon  ‘Grandpa’, was a cartoonist and Vietnam War Veteran working in his dungeon little back room laboratory to develop very cute animated child cartoon robots to use on American soldiers and civilians.”

He was also convinced they were using the Watchtower at the Brooklyn, NY Bethel  Mansion to send coded messages to either the Soviets or radical dissident religious groups. Several documents also reportedly showed that Hoover had directed FBI agents to follow the Bethel Family and to recruit “Pioneer” niece Marilyn Twoshoes as an informant.

Massive amounts of incriminating “extremist” information were known  to have been collected, and put in the  time capsule, with instructions not to be opened until 2016.
