Anon thought it would be a good time to dig more on this.

Some time ago, an Anon posted this picture and legend. Tineye shows no matches for the picture. I have no idea, if the legend is completely accurate or not. Some of the people named in the legend are indeed those in the picture. Can any Anon check to see that this picture is unaltered? In digging into some of the people named in the legend I have found a connection between the Bechtels and the Boy Scouts of America. This dig lightly scratches the surface of the Bechtel story.

There's a lot more to dig on the largest construction company in the world and their associates:

-connections to McCone (think CIA)

-John Bechtel (Warren A. Bechtel, Sr.'s father) married aHoover(see John Moyer Bechtel in 2/16 below).

-Bechtels were part of Six Companies, which builtHooverDam (originally known as Boulder Dam)

-the other 5 members if Six Companies

-the people involved in the other 5 companies

-connections to Bohemian Grove

-connections to Boy Scouts of America

-connections to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Marinship)

-China connections

-The Summit Bechtel Reserve

Think

-Boy Scouts of America

What's Bechtel? Bechtel and Six Companies, Inc. built the Hoover Dam and developed into a global construction company. Interestingly, the name Six Companies was inspired by the Chinese Six Companies, where Chinese in California aired their grievances.

According to Hoover Dam Notes, the members of Hoover Dam's Six Companies are:

-Utah Construction Company - Wattis brothers - one million dollars

-Morrison-Knudsen Company - one-half million dollars

-J.F. Shea Company of Portland, Oregan - Charles F. Shea - one-half million dollars

-Pacific Bridge Company of Portland - one-half million dollars

-MacDonald & Kahn - San Francisco, California - one million dollars

-Kaiser-Bechtel 1.5 million dollars

February 19, 1931 as aDelaware corporation, the "Six Companies, Inc" was born.

-William H. Wattis, the senior person in the group was made president

-W. A. Bechtel vice president

-Charles Shea secretary

-Felis Kahn treasurer

-Frank Crowe was general superintendent of construction

-http://www.hooverdamnotes.com/six-companies.html

The Boulder City Tourist reports similar information about Six Companies. It adds that Six Companies built airstrips and facilities during WWII. Six Companies also owned majority shares of Joshua Henndy Iron Works which made Hendy steam engines used in Liberty Ships built in Richmond Shipyards.

The Boulder City Tourist recommends reading "The Profiteers: Bechtel and the Men Who Built the World".

Anon includes some genealogical information about Bechtel family members because Bechtel has had such an impact on our world, while remaining largely behind the scenes. If Anons run across these names in their research, perhaps they will dig deeper.

If you would like to learn about Bechtels' history (as they tell it), see the timeline on their history page. It provides names of Company leaders over the years. It also provides information about some historic Bechtel construction projects around the world.

The World Order - Bechtel

"The Bechtel-McCone alliance, being short of capital, invented the ingenious "cost-plus" contract arrangement. Under this generous stipulation, the government guaranteed war contractors all costs of production, plus a guaranteed 10% profit. The more the contractor spent, the greater his profit. It was the greatest boondoggle for the fortunate few since the Federal Reserve System started printing paper money with no backing except paper bonds."

"The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve: Another Example of how Former Mine Land can be Put to Use"

"The SBR facility will encompass approximately10,600 acres along the New River Gorge area. It will be the home of the National Scout Jamboree and the Summit High Adventure Base, as well as the National Center for Scouting Excellence."

"The acquisition of this property and its construction was made possible through a donation from the Stephen D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation.The $50 million donation is the largest in the history of the BSA." BSA = Boy Scouts of America."

"Plans for The Summit began in 2007when BSA leadership began looking for a permanent location for the National Scout Jamboree, which had been held at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia since 1981 as well as seeking another high adventure base for the large number of Scouts who are wait-listed at theother three high adventure campsevery year."

"One of the primary reasons for choosing the West Virginia site was its adjacency to the New River Gorge National Park. More than 13 miles of the property borders the park, giving Scouts and Scouters access to more than70,000 acres of managed wilderness beyond the Summit property."

The Summit has access to over 80,000 acres.
