Paul Schatzkin

Paul Schatzkin is the biographer of Thomas Townsend Brown (The Man Who Mastered Gravity, serialized from 2005, book 2023). His work is the load-bearing source layer under most Brown-espionage lore, and its provenance is mixed by his own admission: William Stephenson is not on the 1933 Caroline manifests, the Johnson "affiliation" is "largely circumstantial," and the entire espionage narrative rests on a pseudonymous, never-met informant, "Morgan," whom critics treat as likely fictional [S1]. Schatzkin's term for Brown's 1933 circle was "the Carolines." For its 1965–67 Bahamas operation he used "the Nassau group," in chapters published online in 2007 [S3]. That was years before Tim Taylor's claim, made public in 2021 and amplified by Jesse Michels from 2024, to belong to a time-travel group of that name [S1][S2].
