This journal was proposed in the undated Proclamation of the Order of the Blue Lamoo, a fascist-spiritualist-nativist secret society of the 1930s with which Howard Victor Broenstrupp (1886-1963) was associated. Broenstrop was described by the report of the Dies Committee (Special Committee on Un-American Activities) as "one of the most colourful native Fascists," whose "activities, bordering on the lunatic, have long been under the surveillance" of the committee. He was "an imaginative bigot, [who] combined mysticism with a particularly vicious form of anti-Semitism . . . which stressed the necessity for maintaining the 'supremacy' of the 'great Aryan race.'" He was one of the men corralled in the 1942 federal sedition case that included William Dudley Pelley and was charged with "interfering with, impairing, and influencing the loyalty, morale and discipline of the United States armed forces" and "causing insubordination, disloyalty mutiny and refusal of duty in the armed forces."

At his arraignment, the newspapers noted that Broenstrupp had also passed himself off as Duke of St. Saba, Count Victor Cherep-Spiridovich, Lt. Gen. Cherep-Spiridovich, Col. Bennett, and J.G. Francis — largely titles and ranks assumed by Broenstrup in emulation of Major General Count Arthur Cherep-Spiridovich, a notable White Russian conspiracy theorist and anti-semite and author of the still in print The Secret World Government, or "the Hidden Hand": The Unrevealed in History; 100 Historical "Mysteries" Explained (1926), who was said to have adopted him. -- although Broenstrup seems to have taken up the name and title after Arthur's suicide in 1926. The journal was mimeographed and included the standard nativist and anti-semitic rants of the period and calls to the American Patriots to oppose the rise of the Jewish World Government, coupled with attacks on Franklin Roosevelt, the W.P.A. (a "Mongol-Jewish Project which it was said had once employed Broenstrup), etc. Only one issue of the journal is known, named variously as Intelligence/Intelligence Bulletin(s), Temple of Service, and Oracle of the Ancient and Noble Order of the Blue Lamoo, and all denominated Intelligence Bulletin No. 153. The Proclamation of the Order gave its journal the official name of Intelligence, and it is unknown why the title varied.

Broenstrup was an attorney in Ohio with a somewhat speckled history of charges of embezzlement from clients, dubious mail-order schemes, stock fraud, and the like. In the late 1920s he had been passing as Major General Count H.V. von Broens-Strupp Cherep-Spiridovich, Duke of Saba, founder of the Royal Order of the Rose, in which guise he was evicted for non-payment of rent from his 62-room (one of which was his throne room) house in Staten Island. One of the hundreds he was said to have knighted was Charles Lindberg. He was closely associated with Pelley in the late 1930s, and Pelley's daughter harbored him when he fled the sedition charges. One of his ventures (with Charles Pichel, Boris Brasol, a genuine White Russian emigre, and others) was the Ancient and Noble Order of the Blue Lamoo, which held itself out as "Emissary of Divine Light," deriving its authority from the Ancient Immortal Atlantian Inidiates of the Sun," and Promoted the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Aryandom. Its program was "to maintain the political ascendancy, racial purity and moral ideals or the Aryan Peoples," to train Aryan Youth, promote Aryans in business, "to effect the release of the Aryans from the financial bondage of the Judeo-Mongols," and to "promulgate and encourage the study of those Ancient Aryan Teachings and Esoteric Sciences which deal with the Mission, Superiority and Responsibility of the Great Aryan Race," etc. Although the Order seems predominantly to have had political and social aims, it, like Pelley's groups, lay the foundation of its efforts on the mystical, Christian ("Charistosian") "Atlanian-Aryan" tradition that led to "Rejuvenation and New Birth." The Order offered, through mail-order lessons to members who had gained the first four degrees of the Sun Initiation, "singular and mystic forms of initiation, the system of enigmatic phrases, the signs and symbols of recognition, mystic ritual, policy, landmarks, traditions, patents of recognition and reward, [. . .] directly descended and evolved from the DAWN of ATLANTIAN-ARYAN HISTORY." These gave the initiates the power to obtain freedom from death, pain, poverty and death in the higher degrees, and attainment of these powers led to "Union with Soul Complement": "The process of establishing immortality of the PHYSICAL BODY produces automatically at a certain point on the PATH OF INITIATION automatic union with the SOUL COUNTERPART or COMPLEMENT, whereupon the united but distinct individuals proceed toward immortality in the PHYSICAL."
