Passport to Interzone

Documents buried in Skinner's archives reveal hints of his hidden life in Heidelberg

Among all the artifacts I’ve uncovered in Skinner’s life, his high school passport— dating back to when he was 15—may be the most intriguing piece of evidence I have come across. That, combined with several other remarkable finds (like the one below) contain extraordinary hints about his various involvements.

Father Spielmann taught biology, theology and mathematics at Cascia Hall Preparatory School (where Skinner attended high school) in Tulsa, Oklahoma but his Czechoslovakian passport suggested another identity. On the right, Spielman with the future Pope Leo XIV, a former board member of Cascia Hall.

In the following post, I’ll build a case for Skinner’s early intelligence work, beginning in Heidelberg, Germany in the years leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Founding members will enjoy exclusive photos and an analysis of Skinner’s passport—including more about his Cascia Hall travel companion to Czechoslovakia, Fr. Henry Spielmann (a friend of current Pope Leo XIV). I’ll also offer exclusive photos from Skinner’s time in Germany and insights into what he was doing there, plus you can download several PDF files containing hundred of pages of Skinner’s testimony at the LSD trial where he mentions his years in Heidelberg.
