Gold and money theft and murder under cover of National Security.
To cover-up these crimes, thousands of innocent people had to be murdered. Hundreds of thousands [Editor’s note – Hundreds of millions, not thousands] of people across the globe have been subjected to the terrors of wars funded by this operation. The ‘few good men’ [Editor’s note – vile criminals] responsible for these events make sure no one knows who is responsible, because in their hearts, they know that what they do is not acceptable to the American public. The alleged statements by Bush and Reagan are testimony to that point:
Sarah McClendon: "What will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran
George H.W. Bush: "Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they will chase us down the streets and lynch us."

“If such a story gets out, we’ll all be hanging by our thumbs in front of the WhiteHouse….”

Collateral Damage: U.S.
September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001 the definition of National Security changed for most U.S.
generation, “National Security” meant protection from nuclear attack. On that day, Americans redefined that threat.
On September 11, 2001 three hijacked airliners hit three separate buildings with such precision and skill that many
observers believe those flights were controlled by something other than the poorly trained hijackers in the cockpits.
This report contends that not only were the buildings targets, but that specific offices within each building were the
designated targets. These offices unknowingly held information which if exposed, subsequently would expose a
national security secret of unimaginable magnitude. Protecting that secret was the motivation for the September 11
th
attacks. This report is about that national security secret: its origins and impact. The intent of the report is to provide
a context for understanding the events of September 11
th
rather than to define exactly what happened that day.
Initially, it is difficult to see a pattern to the destruction of September 11
th
other than the total destruction of the
the perceived objective of the attack is re-defined from its commonly suggested ‘symbolic’ designation as either ‘a
terrorist attack’ or a ‘new Pearl Harbor ,’ and one begins by looking at it as purely a crime with specific objectives
(as opposed to a political action), there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction. This article provides
research into the early claims by Dick Eastman, Tom Flocco, V.K. Durham and Karl Schwarz that the September
11
th
attacks were meant as a cover-up for financial crimes being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence
(ONI), whose offices in the Pentagon were destroyed on September 11
th
.
1
After six years of research, this report
presents corroborating evidence which supports their claims, and proposes a new rationale for the September 11
th
attacks. In doing so, many of the anomalies – or inconvenient facts surrounding this event - take on a meaning that
is consistent with the claims of Eastman et al. The hypothesis of this report is: the attacks of September 11
th
were
intended to cover-up the clearing of $240 billion dollars in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a
covert economic war against the Soviet Union , during which ‘unknown’ western investors bought up much of the
Soviet industry, with a focus on oil and gas. The attacks of September 11
th
also served to derail multiple Federal
investigations away from crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. In doing so, the attacks were justified
under the cardinal rule of intelligence: “protect your resources”
2
and consistent with a modus operandi of sacrificing
lives for a greater cause.
The case for detailed targeting of the attacks begins with analysis of the attack on the Pentagon. After one concludes
that the targeting of the ONI office in the Pentagon was not random – and that information is presented later
3
– one
then must ask: is it possible that the planes that hit the World Trade Center
witnesses to have been set off inside the buildings 1, 6 and 7 and the basement of the Towers, were deliberately
located to support the execution of a crime of mind-boggling proportions? In considering that question, a pattern
emerges. For the crimes alleged by Eastman, Flocco, Durham
basement of the World Trade Center
of government securities - had to be destroyed. A critical mass of brokers from the major government security
brokerages in the Twin Towers
situation needed to be created wherein $240 billion dollars of covert securities could be electronically “cleared”
without anyone asking questions- which happened when the Federal Reserve declared an emergency and invoked its
“emergency powers.” that very afternoon.
4
The ongoing Federal investigations into the crimes funded by those
securities needed to be ended or disrupted by destroying evidence in Buildings 6, 7 and 1.
5
Finally, one has to
understand and demonstrate the inconceivable: that $240 billion in covert, and possibly illegal government funding
could have been and were created in September of 1991. Filling in the last piece of the puzzle requires
understanding 50 years of history of key financial organizations in the United States , understanding how U.S.
Intelligence became a key source of their off-balance sheet accounts, and why this was sanctioned by every
President since Truman.
6
With that, a pattern of motivation is defined which allows government leaders and
intelligence operatives to ‘rationalize’ a decision to cause the death 3,000 citizens.
2
There were three major securities brokers in the World Trade Center
Inter Capital. On the morning of September 11, Flight 11 hit the North Tower
which Cantor Fitzgerald was situated. Cantor Fitzgerald was the US
7
in the US
arguably the primary target.
8
Shortly after that, a massive explosion went off just under the FBI offices in the North
Tower on the 23rd floor, and Garbon Inter Capital on the 25th floor, and in the basement of Tower 1 as well. The
explosion caused the 22
nd
through 25
th
floors above to collapse into an inferno.
9
Fires were reported on the 22
nd
floor
at 8:47.
10
Shortly, thereafter, at 9:03, Flight 175 hit the South Tower
was situated. (See Chart on page 42.) In all three cases, the explosive, fiery destruction consumed the offices in the
several floors above. At 9:37 Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, targeting one of the few offices that had been moved in the
newly remodeled section of the Pentagon: the Office of Naval Intelligence.
11
Agents of the Office of Naval
Intelligence had been investigating the financial transactions which in this report are linked to securities being
managed by those security dealers in the World Trade Center
12
Fortunately, most other agencies
had not yet been moved back into the targeted section of the Pentagon. 41% of the fatalities in the Twin Towers
came from two companies that managed U.S.
13
31% of
the 125 fatalities in the Pentagon were from the Naval Command Center
Intelligence. 39 of 40 Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. In the vaults beneath the World Trade Center
Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed.
14
Building 7 was evacuated somewhere between 9:00 and 9:30, depending on various claims. Fires and explosions
spontaneously began at multiple locations inside the building prior to the collapse of either Tower. This observation
is critical in that the official explanation for the fire is that they started when objects from the collapsing towers
caused the fires to ignite. Witnesses leaving the building claim to have seen fires already starting, and dead
bodies.
15
The Building ultimately was destroyed in what many unofficial observers now believe was a controlled
demolition. Building Seven housed the following agencies critical to investigation of financial crimes related to this
history:
Export-Import Bank of the US
Floor 6
US Secret Service
Floors 9 & 10
Securities and Exchange Commission
Floors 11,12 &13
Internal Revenue Service
Floors 24 & 25
CIA
Floor 25
Department of Defense
Floor 25
“All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building," according to
US Secret Service Special Agent David Curran -- the number three guy in that office. "We lost our network, we
lost all our computers, we lost all the equipment that we use as Secret Service Agents. Everything from machine
guns to our shotguns to our electronic equipment that we use." A lot of cases had to be closed as a result of
losing that building.”
16
(See note for additional references.)
In the midst of all this, Building 6 was destroyed by explosions from within, before being buried in the rubble of the
Towers.
17
FEMA, the agency charged with investigating the disaster, did not collect any data on this building.
Building 6 was home to the U.S. Customs agency and the El Dorado
group from 55 agencies created in 1992. The El Dorado
money-laundering investigations in the U.S.
redirected to investigate terrorist financing.
18
On the same day, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a
national emergency and for the first time in U.S.
Act Section 12(k) and eased regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next 15 days.
These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion in covert government securities to be cleared upon maturity
without the standard regulatory controls around identification of ownership.
19
(The manner in which this was
accomplished is explained later in the report.)

The Pentagon
It must be noted that the Office of Naval Intelligence in the Pentagon, which sustained a direct hit from an
airliner that day, was without a doubt, a target that was pinpointed for destruction. There are a number of
indicators that this was the case:
•
The command centers of the US Armed forces and the Office of the Secretary of Defense are located on the
River and Mall, northern facing segments of the Pentagon.
20
This is public information. Either of those
facades should have been the prime target for a well-planned attack. It needs to be remembered that the
individuals responsible for September 11 had almost three years to plan their assault. The targets and
methods were not haphazard.
•
The western facing section of the Pentagon that was attacked had been under constructions for almost two
years, and would not have been considered as a target, unless it was targeted for a specific reason.
•
The Naval Command Center
earlier
21
;
•
The attacking aircraft went through great effort to hit the west side of the Pentagon, under either of
contentious scenarios, looping around the Pentagon by 270 degrees after approaching from the north east, or
looping 360 degrees with it’s approach from the West. Under either scenario, the additional looping created
an opportunity with extra flight time for defense systems to take out the attacking plane, and the hijackers
took a significant risk of being shot down by executing this maneuver.
22
(See Figures 1 and 2)
•
If one looks carefully at the Koeppel flight path approach seen in Figure 1, the attacking flight path went
almost directly over the Whitehouse, bypassing what should be considered a primary target, for a supposedly
empty section of the Pentagon. With the alternative approach presented by the National Transportation
Safety Board, the extra distance in the loop would have allowed it to hit either the White House or the
Capitol had it continued straightforward.
•
Derek Vreeland who claimed to be an agent for Office of Naval Intelligence had predicted the attack several
weeks in advance
23
;
•
The ONI has been attributed by several sources with responsibility for leaking copies of the faxes which
document the illegal transaction of 1989-1991.
24
Figure 1 (above) shows the two looping flight paths presented. On the left, an approach mapped by
Former Air Force Pilot Steve Koeppel,
25
on the right, the official approach presented by the National
Transportation Safety Board.
26
4
Figure 2 (below) shows the western approach hitting the ONI,
while the Mall and River Entrances with the prime targets,
initially in the direct path of the northern approach, are ignored.
Did Flight 77 “pass” on three primary targets (the White House, the Capitol, and the command centers in the north
face of the Pentagon) in order to make a precision hit on what should have been known to be an empty segment of
the Pentagon? Did the pilot, described as having “extraordinary skill,” after years of planning, hit a worthless target?
It would seem the assumption has to be the pilot hit exactly where he wanted to hit. The planes hitting the South
Tower and Pentagon maneuvered in the last moments to hit their exact target. With a world of targets available,
why these?
For the majority of Americans, the unanswered questions regarding that day are legion. While many of the questions
may never be answered, the extraordinary destruction experienced at specific locations in the WTC, and the peculiar
targeting of the Pentagon all support a pattern of deliberate destruction of sites key to the claims of Eastman,
Laden was behind these attacks, foreign media provided reports suggesting that the “real power” behind Al Qaeda
was unknown.
27
As shall be seen, the financial power behind the attack is the same power that created these
securities, and the same power as that which founded Al Qaeda.
The Origins of the World Trade Center
Most historians track the history of September 11th to 1998 when Osama Bin Laden declared a fatwa or jihad
against the U.S.
Qaeda.
28
However, the history which defines the motives for the September 11 attacks goes much further back in
time. The answers to the questions surrounding the cause of the WTC attack will be found in events going as far
5
back as 1990 and 1991, when the George H.W. Bush was president. To a very great degree, insight into the activities
of that period are cloaked by the Executive Order of George H.W. Bush’s son, President George W. Bush, who on
November 1, 2001 issued Executive Order 13233. This executive order was intended to balance the public's right to
see the records of past presidents with a need to protect national security. As a result, public records which might
have shed light on the activities on 1990 and 1991 remain shielded from public access in the interest of national
security and the men and women who support it. Subsequently, this reconstruction of the events from the late 1980s
and early 1990s is based on news reports, books and articles.
What the public record suggests is that with the beginning of the first Bush Presidency in 1989, George H.W. Bush
initiated a program of covert economic warfare to bring about the collapse of the Soviet Union . The name of this
program appears to be Project Hammer, a previously reported, multi-billion dollar covert operation, ‘third world
investment program’ whose investments remain shielded.
29
This program consisted of four major covert operations
including:
1) Theft of the Soviet treasury,
2) Currency destabilization of the Ruble,
3) Funding of the KGB Generals’ August 1991 coup against Gorbachev, and
4) Takeover of the key energy and defense industries in the Soviet Union .
At its inception, the program was conducted well within policy framework of the U.S.
several Executive Orders authored by Vice President Bush and signed by President Ronald Reagan. There is good
reason to believe that the plan was initially formulated by Reagan’s CIA Director, William Casey. During World
War II, before Casey headed OSS operations in Europe , he worked for the Board of Economic Warfare and his role
was “pinpointing Hitler’s economic jugular and investigating how it could be squeezed.”
30
Many of the program
operatives were probably engaged through official CIA and National Security channels. However, as a result of the
experience gained by the Bush cabinet and its private sector counterparts during the secretive Iran-Contra and
Ferdinand Marcos gold operations (which will be explained in short order), the execution of that program would be
accompanied by two new assumptions:
1) Using covert and illegal funding for a policy not approved by Congress would remain acceptable. Under George
H.W. Bush, Congressional oversight of covert operations could be ignored with impunity;
2) The American public and their representatives in Congress were too pre-occupied with their own lives to be
worried about what happened in foreign lands, even if those actions violated the law and the constitution.
Emboldened by the lack of consequences for subverting the U.S.
the Iran-Contra scandal, the Bush administration group known as “the Vulcans” planned a bigger drive to crush the
soul of Communism once and for all. This group had graced themselves with this moniker, naming themselves after
the Roman god of War – Vulcan. They waged war against the Soviet Union and Iraq
against Iraq and Afghanistan
Belonging to this group

were

•
Don Rumsfeld
•

•
Paul Wolfowitz
•
Richard Armitage
•
Condoleezza Rice
The Vulcan’s drive to bring and end to the Cold War was fueled by a covert war chest invisible to congressional
oversight.
32
This war chest would be known by several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s
Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, the Durham
33
These same Vulcans would be brought
back to power in 2000 under the administration of President George W. Bush, son of President George H. W. Bush.
The covert operations conducted by the Vulcans involved – at a minimum – potential securities fraud, money
laundering and violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices act.
34
In a number of situations, murder and false
imprisonment seemed to be the mainstay of efforts to prevent any remorseful participants in this operation from
going public with their stories.
35
While accomplishing its objective – bringing about the demise of the Soviet Union
– the program also seems to have lined the pockets of the individuals that executed this policy, at US
expense. This was done to the tune of a mere $240 billion dollars in covert and allegedly illegal bonds, which
appear to have been replaced with Treasury notes backed by U.S.
6
Seventeen years later in 2008, the personal financial empires of those who benefited directly from these covert
securities should now stand at several trillion dollars, and are rightfully the property of various citizenries. Putin’s
purge of selected oligarchs is consistent with this story.
The covert securities used to accomplish the original national security objective of ending the Cold War ended up in
the vaults of the brokers in the World Trade Center
36
They came due
for settlement and clearing on September 12. The federal Agency investigating these bonds – The Office of Naval
Intelligence- was in the section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on September 11.
37
To a key group of senior
National Security officials who had participated in the victory of the economic cold war in 1991, the WTC, the
Pentagon, the four airliners and their occupants would became ‘collateral’ damage in the ending of the Cold War.
Their deaths were required to hide the existence of the Black Eagle Trust, and the covert activities it had funded for
over 50 years. The alternative view of these events suggests that the destruction of these lives and buildings
constituted a cover-up of continued lawlessness by a fraternity or brotherhood of businessmen and criminals often
referred to as ‘the Enterprise
The War Chest
The story of these bonds and their source of funding has been publicized on the internet for several years,
38
but the
story has never really gained much credibility, even though the bonds themselves have been at the heart of several
law suits and criminal proceedings. In trying to understand the origins of what seems at first glance to be a sort of
cold war internet-legend, history suggests that in September of 1991, George H.W. Bush and Alan Greenspan did
indeed finance $240 billion in bonds in a buyout of the Soviet Union as part of a broader program to end the Cold
War through an attack on the economy of the Soviet Union . More-over, President George H.W. Bush had initiated a
number of related covert operations to takeover certain sectors of the Soviet economy, and ten years later in 2001,
these programs had finally come back to haunt the U.S.
have stepped outside of the boundaries of the law. As a result, investigative agencies from Britain , Switzerland
open up the accounts in the banks used to finance these covert activities, which were being viewed as criminal
activities in foreign courts. Alan Greenspan, the Treasury Department and key banks in the U.S. and Europe were
being sued for gold-price fixing or illegal gold sales which appears to have it’s origins in the covert war chest used
to wage this war.
39
At the same time, the suits brought by the Holocaust survivors victims of the Marcos regime,
and the US Congress under influence of pro-Israeli lobbyists were putting pressure on the Swiss banking cartel to
open it’s bullion records to public scrutiny. Full disclosure by these banks during an investigation would have
resulted in a major exposure of U.S. Government complicity in some of the greatest financial fraud of the 1980s and
early 1990s as well as 50 years of gold bullion theft by numerous U.S.
investigation into these accounts would disclose a National Security secret known as the Black Eagle fund, and
virtually every covert operation since World War II. Bringing an end to these investigations and preventing this
disclosure was the sole objective for the destruction of the WTC and Pentagon.
These investigative and legal pressures began to accumulate in 1997, and in February 1998, Osama Bin Laden
declared his fatwa, and Atta started planning the September 11 attacks. To understand the decisions made in 1998
which brought about the attack on the World Trade Center
of exposure these bankers and government officials faced. Ten years prior to the planning that Atta was beginning,
planning had begun for economic war on the Soviet Union . The source of funding for this covert war is traced to the
end of World War II, but it was not until 1986 did the size of that war chest make the 1991 attack on the Soviet

It was McCloy, along with Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson and Secretary of War Henry L Stimson who
created the Black Eagle Trust.
42
John McCloy, who had shared a box at the 1939 Olympics with Adolph Hitler,
went on to become President of the World Bank. Robert Anderson would go on to operate the Commercial
Exchange Bank in the British West Indies , be convicted of running illegal banking operations and tax evasion, and
be sentenced to prison.
43
A fourth member of that group – William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan – would go on to found the
CIA, distribute the gold to key banks represented by his staffers, and establish AIG as a key partner in the CIA’s
covert operations.

9
The trust they created takes its name from the Nazi Black Eagle stamped on the gold bars of the Third Reich. Gold
bullion confiscated from the Reich and not returned to its rightful owners and their heirs was the original source of
funding for this trust.
44
Over the years, the significance of the Nazi gold would pale in comparison to the
confiscated Japanese treasure. As the fund grew, it was distributed in private accounts across the globe in over 100
banks, and administered by General Earle Cocke, financial advisor to every U.S. President from Truman to Clinton
until his death.
45
Most of the individuals who controlled these accounts are long dead, and attempts by their heirs to
access these accounts have been met with stonewalling, false imprisonment or death under suspicious
circumstances. Santa Romano’s heirs are one example.
46
Mrs. V. K. Durham is one such individual. Her husband,
Colonel Russell Herman, controlled the Durham Trust. This report will return to their story in a little while.

their service to manage the financial empire that would evolve from JP Morgan to ‘Morgan and Chase’ to then
to ‘Chase Manhattan’ to finally what in 2008 was known as Chase.
•
Paul Helliwell would become the primary covert operations banker for U.S. intelligence, setting up in Nassau
Castle Bank and then Mercantile Bank and Trust. When Castle Bank needed to be closed, he set up Nugan

General Earl Cocke would be the financial advisor to every President from Truman until Cocke’s death in the
year 2000. Cocke was a true American hero in the classical sense: the recipient of the Silver Star, four Bronze
Stars and four Purple Hearts. He was also the coordinator for the Black Eagle Fund and Project Hammer,
which would be used to bring down the Soviet Union and attempt to bring Soviet oil and gas resources under
the control of Western investors.

Over the years, Lansdale ’s personal account in
Santa Romana had multiple accounts, the largest single account was valued at over 20,000 metric tonnes. While
these accounts were created in their names, over time it would be shown these were actually government accounts.

common interpretation international law is that the gold should have been either returned to the countries from
which it was stolen (as was done with the Nazi gold

With no uncertain terms, the U.S. Government’s continued efforts to stifle news on this matter provides prima facie
evidence that the confiscation of this gold is illegal.

precedents for the Intelligence community to retain the services of organized crime on U.S. Lansdale would
hire American Mafia family heads Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano in the
against the Italian Communist party.
“…the gangsters in Lansdale’s employ were the very gangsters the FBN was chasing--Carlos Marcello, Santos
Trafficante, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano. … The CIA’s connection, of course, began with ‘Wild Bill’
Donovan’s old OSS
Communist union dockworkers in Marseilles and elsewhere along the Mediterranean Coast, and to seize Sicily
from the Communists. With CIA blessing, and using drug running as a way of financing activities, the Mafia set
up drug supply routes back to the U.S.
turn supplied through Lebanon , Turkey , Afghanistan , and elsewhere in the Middle East , only to be thwarted by
the far more powerful CIA stepping in and terminating the investigation on national security grounds.”
60
It would be Lansdale’s team that would propose and justify sacrificing innocent U.S.
American citizenry to support an invasion of foreign soil. This was done under a program run by Brigadier General
William H. Craig, who reported to Lansdale for the Cuba

This project was called Operation Northwoods.

68
It is through Frank Nugan and his business partner Peter Abeles, that insight is provided to the flow of
some of this Marcos treasure. Peter Abeles was reputed to be a member of what was known in Australia
Hungarian Mafia and a partner with Henry Keswick. Sir Henry Keswick was the son of SOE officer John Keswick.
The Keswick family had controlling interest in Jardine Matheson, which owned and operated Ferdinand Marcos’
gold smelting operation, which was opened in the mid 1970s.
69
The Keswick family also had controlling interest in
the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), which was the largest holder of Santa Romana’s
known gold accounts, although Citibank would be the largest recipient of the confiscated treasure.
70
When Romana
died, the bank refused to hand over his accounts to his heirs, and confiscated his accounts.

It was Peter Abeles and Sir Henry Keswick that brought Canadian businessman Peter Munk back to business

Barrick Gold would become an investment for nearly every gold bullion bank associated with the Marcos
gold recovery. These banks would loan gold to Barrick, which would then sell the borrowed gold as derivatives,
with the promise of replacing the borrowed gold with their gold mining operation. The records of many of those
transactions disappeared when Enron collapsed and the trading operation and all its records were taken over by
UBS, another major recipient of Marcos gold. The FBI was reportedly conducting an investigation into those
transactions, and the investigation files were kept on the 23rd floor of the North Tower
personal accounts of September 11 now suggests that office was deliberately targeted with explosives prior to the
collapse of the WTC.
73
The Nugan Hand Bank would be one of the many banks used for transferring the Marcos gold from the Philippines
into covert operations. Brigadier General Earle Cocke was the President in charge of the Nugan Hand Washington
Office, and would be the key manager of Project Hammer and the Black Eagle Trust.
Other Nugan Hand Bank employees from U.S. Intelligence operations included:
•
General Leroy J. Manor (manager of the Manila branch) former chief of staff of the U.S. Pacific; Command and
deputy director for counterinsurgency and special activities; he shared his office with Marcos’s brother-in-law ;
•
General Edwin F. Black (president of Hawaii branch) former commander of U.S. forces in Thailand
•
Richard Secord (all around operative with responsibilities in Iran-Contra , Vietnam
Mujahadeen armies in Afghanistan , and central Asia );
•
Dale Holmgreen (former chairman CIA's Civil Air Transport, manager of the Taiwan
•
Richard L. Armitage (was special consultant to the Pentagon in Thailand
profits from Indonesia to Shackley's account in Tehran
•
William Colby (former director of the CIA as legal counsel);
•
Rear-Admiral Earl P. Yates, the former Chief of Staff for Policy and Plans of the U.S. Pacific Command and a
counter-insurgency specialist, became president of the company;
•
Walter McDonald (retired CIA deputy director, headed Annapolis
•
Dr. Guy Parker (an expert from the RAND Corporation who came on as a bank consultant) senior Republican
foreign policy adviser;
The bank was founded as a funding operation for U.S. covert operations in Australia
74
, and was a conduit for
Marcos gold. One of the objectives of the ‘bank’ was to bring about the pre-mature closure of the Australian labor
government. The Whitlam government had quietly threatened to nationalize subsidiaries of American corporations.
“The subsequent inquiries have established the Nugan-Hand bank was to be the organisation used as cover
for the operations of Task Force 157. The Task Force 157 was a group set up by Henry Kissinger and it
was set up in a quite strange way. It was a mini-CIA which was actually separate from the CIA and
probably was set up by Kissinger so he could deny any connection between what the Task Force 157 was
doing and the CIA. Nevertheless, the personnel of Task Force 157 included Ted Shackley, who was one of
the head of sabotage operations against Cuba , he was Station Chief in Saigon during the Vietnam War, and
he was the Chief of the CIA Western Hemisphere Division, so with an impeccable CIA record like that it
would be very difficult to disassociate him from what the CIA was doing. The concept of Task Force 157
seems to have been two-fold: firstly, to set up operations against the Whitlam government. And secondly,
to go ahead with using Australia as a base for certain clandestine U.S.
and smuggling of contraband goods.”
75
12
The Nugan Hand Bank was closed in January 1980 within several days of the unsolved murder or suicide of Frank
Nugan. The reasons for his murder have never been identified, but during that time, the operation was at risk of
being exposed.
“Bobby Inman, former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency and Deputy Director of the CIA,
said on two occasions that he expressed deep concern that investigations of Nugan-Hand would lead to
disclosure of a range of dirty tricks played against the Whitlam government (Australian labor
government).”
76
(The U.S. Intelligence’s modus operandi of using murder for covering its tracks is further documented when the
Iran-Contra and October Surprise affairs are reviewed later in this report.)
John Hand would disappear a few days after the death of Frank Nugan, never to be seen again. Bank operations
were transferred to HouseHold Bank in Chicago , Illinois
counsel. There, according to Herman Skolnick, Household Bank would continue the work of Nugan Hand.
Among their functions, transferring covert operations funds, assassination team funding, skimming of
dope, gambling, and gun-running loot; military, civilian, international. U.S.
Generals, as well as intelligence community officials, supposedly either "retired", or "on leave", operated
Nugan-Hand, and aided thereafter Household and its numerous units and subsidiaries. The "tracking the
money” project was conducted over-all by Household International with the assistance reportedly of
Systematics,
a banking computer services firm, originally a subsidiary of an Arkansas-based
operation. Targeted have been the banks of both friends and enemies alike. (Vince) Foster and his crew --
Hillary (Rodham Clinton) and Webster (Hubbell) -- used as a cover that they were supposedly
"attorneys" for Systematics…. Vincent and Hillary's role in this was arranged and supervised by a
Chicago-based law firm Hopkins & Sutter…
77
.
Many units of Household Finance were shortly thereafter taken over by Harris Bank, which was then taken over by
the Bank of Montreal
invested in Barrick Gold. It would be Edgar Bronfmann that would cut a deal with the Swiss banking cartel in 1998
that would derail U.S.
accounts.
By the end of the 1980s, the banks that had their agents in the OSS
II were the banks that would be the dominant global players by 2001.

The covert operations funded by the Black Eagle Trust in the 1960s and 1970s became visible stains on the global
image of the U.S.
would order the retirement of over 800 covert operatives.
78
Many of these operatives would move into private
consulting and security firms and be employed as subcontractors for covert operations. Thus began a loose
association of private operatives that would be referred to as “the Enterprise
Bush, having been CIA Director, had many acquaintances in this group, and would work with them to restore their
influence and control over U.S.

Taking Control
Unlike other presidential administrations, the Reagan administration was uniquely characterized by having the Vice
President - who at that time was George H.W. Bush – in control of Foreign Policy. That control was established in
an agreement between Bush and Reagan prior to their election.
79
The agreement was later formalized with
Executive Order 12333.
80
As William Casey’s biographer pointed out, Reagan “knew little about foreign policy and
cared less...” and as a result sharpies around the President took over and they ran him.”
81
In November 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to the White House on a slim margin of votes, defeating incumbent
Jimmy Carter. The few percentage points in votes which were responsible for giving Reagan and Bush the victory
were attributed to President Carter’s inability to rescue and free hostages being held in Iran
82
The failed rescue
attempt of the hostages was reported to be the responsibility of Oliver North, Richard Secord and Albert Hakim,
who planned and controlled the rescue operation.
83
In the meantime, it is reported that the release of the hostages
by Iran
Israeli equivalent of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi. For $40
million dollars, the Iranians would delay the release of the hostages until after the election.

Sixty-nine days after the Inauguration, John Hinkley attempted to assassinate President Reagan. Eight days prior to
that attempt, there were a series of unprecedented policy changes that put George Bush in charge of Foreign Policy
and National Security. On March 22, 1981, Bush took control of the "Emergency Crisis Management Staff," in a
Cabinet meeting. That role conferred new roles and powers on Bush, including "unprecedented powers for a vice-
president."
85
Vice President George Bush was named the leader of the United States
part of the National Security Council system.
86
Then, on March 30, 1981, eight days after these powers were
conferred on Bush, President Reagan was shot. On that day, there were actually two unsigned versions of National
Security Directive 1 (NSDD1), one which made Al Haig and another which made George Bush the caretaker of the
“red phone’ in case of National Emergency. The content of either version has never been released to the public.
Sixty nine days after the inauguration, the man whose operatives had bribed terrorists in violation of American
policy and law, the man whose close colleagues and advisors planned a failed rescue attempt which cost the lives of
policy.
87
The father of the assassin that put Bush in power was John (a.k.a. Jack) Hinckley , Sr., who was the owner of
Vanderbilt Oil. Hinckley had been giving maximum donations every year to George H.W. Bush since he started
running for Congress. “When the Hinckley oil company, Vanderbilt Oil started to fail in the 1960s, Bush, Sr.'s,
Zapata Oil financially bailed out Hinckley 's company. Hinckley had been running an operation with six dead wells,
but he began making several million dollars a year after the Bush bailout.” John Hinckley, Sr., had also been
extensively involved in an executive position with U.S. Ministries for World Vision, a widely reported CIA front
operation. After the Jonestown Massacre, World Vision took over Jonestown. . In The Black Hole of Guyana
Untold Story of the Jonestown Massacre, John Judge painstakingly documents that Jonestown was a CIA operation
for converting dispossessed and lonely refugees into assassins. In an operation that was falling under Congressional
investigation, the evidence had to be eliminated – and nearly all the inhabitants were murdered to prevent
disclosure.
88
The assassin John Hinckley’s brother Scott Hinckley, and Neil Bush were not only friends, but had recently partied
together and were scheduled to have dinner with each other that very day. Also, on the very day John Hinckley
15
attempted to kill Reagan, three Department of Energy auditors were pressuring Hinckley ’s brother Scott, with a $2
million penalty. This penalty would later disappear.
89
George H.W. Bush, with his new found ‘Emergency’ powers,
would deny Al Haig’s formal request for an investigation into the assassination attempt.
The covert business dealings with the Iranians and Israelis which originated with Kashoggi and Kimche in July 1980
in Hamburg
provide an opening to the Soviet KGB that would allow the U.S.
operation, a number of key Bush policy advisors and operatives would conduct what they collectively viewed should
be the “honorable and right” foreign policy of the U.S.
should be by law. The October Surprise operation would grow and be overshadowed by the larger Iran-Contra
operation. Members of Bush’s covert intelligence cadre sold weapons to Iran , an avowed enemy of the U.S.
illegally used the profits to continue funding anti-Communist rebels, the Contras, in Nicaragua
communists, the CIA Director characterized them as being motivated by greed.
90
The premise of using covert
funding to fight the cold war would re-emerge a few short years later when the Bush cadre decided to take on the
The entire Iran-Contra operation almost fell apart in 1986 and became public when the Nicaraguan government shot
down a U.S. plane carrying weapons to the Contra rebels, and captured the U.S.
discovery of these shipments - a violation of U.S.
investigation by an Independent Counsel. The meetings in Hamburg and Paris
October Surprise were never mentioned, and the two pilots who flew Bush to Paris
and discredited when they sought to testify in front of Congress. A court would later find the charges against the
pilots to be without support, but by that time their testimony had been blocked and discredited.
“Gunther Russbacher.. claimed to have videotape proof and sixteen witnesses to his having flown George
Bush to one of the October Surprise meetings.”
91
Ari Ben-Menashe a major Israeli coordinator of these deals, would also testify that he had personally seen George
H.W. Bush at the Paris
“In June, I also testified under oath, in closed session, before the Senate Foreign Relations committee. I
stated unequivocally that I had, seen Bush in Paris
92
According to Ari Ben-Menashe, a major Israeli coordinator of these deals, four of the five supply chains set up to
arm Iran were never investigated, and continued to operate right through the Congressional Hearings on Iran
Contra.
“…Tower knew perfectly well there was an ongoing arms channel. Yet the Tower Commission made no
mention of it. In February 1987, while Tower was investigating a minor part of the sales to Iran
Israel-Iran Committee, together with Robert Gates, ran the biggest ever arms supply operation to Iran
official inquiry was better than any smokescreen we…could have dreamed up.”
93
Quite simply, the Iran-Contra team continued to violate the law even while being investigated by Congress. There
were a few indictments and convictions as a result of the Iran-Contra affair, but generally those involved were
exonerated. Bush later pardoned the few lower level government officials that were indicted and convicted. Dick
Cheney was one of the Congressional committee members that decided that no crimes had been committed, and that
Bush was not involved. Robert Mueller, who as U.S. Attorney headed the Noriega (a related Iran-Contra inquiry)
94
and the BCCI investigations,
95
found no evidence pointing to illegal behavior by George H.W. Bush. His subsequent
investigation into Enron found no wrong doing by Enron.
96
Mueller would later be called up to head the WTC
Investigation.
To support this cover-up of the Iran-Contra operations, witnesses had to be silenced.
“Navy Lt. Commander Alexander Martin was, in effect, the chief accountant for the Reagan/Bush drug
operations run by Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, through an obscure arm of the White House National
Security Council called the National Programs Office. In a radio interview with talk show host Tom
Valentine last July, Martin spoke not only of drugs and money, but death. "Out of roughly 5,000 of us who
16
were originally involved in Iran-Contra, approximately 400, since 1986, have committed suicide, died
accidentally or died of natural causes. In over half those deaths, official death certificates were never
issued. In 187 circumstances, the bodies were cremated before the families were notified. "Martin then said
he was lying low.”
97
“The Manhattan
died in the course of investigating the bank's entanglements in covert operations of the CIA, arms
smuggling to Iraq
98
“From October 30th to Christmas eve there were four attempts to kill, me and our friend William Smith,
who everyone thinks is a high ranking Naval Intelligence officer. During that same time over fifty CIA
operatives, their wives and families were killed in an attempt by the Robert Gates faction of the CIA to
cover its tracks before Clinton
team arranged safe passage for me to Vienna , Austria
Director of the CIA.”
99
Ari Ben Menashe writes that Amiran Nir was assassinated to prevent his testimony at the trial of Oliver North. That
testimony would have implicated George H.W. Bush.
100
Senator John Heinz and Senator Towers
the same fate as Amiran Nir – death by plane crash. The pattern of taking the lives of anyone who created a risk of
exposure of these National Security operations was repeated in 1991, and again in 2001.

As the Iran-Contra operation was unfolding, on the other side of the world, another important development was
occurring. Ferdinand Marcos, the pro-U.S. dictator of the Philippines
machine to hand-over to the U.S.
tonnes of the remaining Golden Lily Treasure. At that time, the treasure had an estimated value of $500 to $600
billion.

continued to discover even more of the buried treasure. Marcos had started to sell it on the market during the 1970s
in bits and pieces, with the assistance of Adnan Khashoggi.
102
For some unknown reason, the Enterprise
they wanted it all in 1986. That reason is now known – being to fund a war against the Soviet Union . Vice President
George Bush ultimately took the gold from Marcos in 1986 when Marcos was forced out of office. It is estimated
that Marcos was in possession of 73,000 tonnes of gold at that time.
103
In removing Marcos from office, the U.S.
was supported by his General Fidel Ramos, who defected from Marcos’s ranks to support Corazon Aquino. Fidel
Ramos was later made a Board member of the Carlyle Group. The Marcos gold was removed to a series of banks,
most notably Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation, UBS and Banker’s Trust, and
held in a depository in Kloten Switzerland
Richard Armitage and Paul Wolfowitz. Adnan Khashoggi was also involved, helping move the gold. It was at this
time that Khashoggi , Shiek Kamal Adham, Khalid bin Mahfouz, and Peter Munk would create a Canadian gold
mining company called Barrick Gold.
•
Adnan Khashoggi was the international arms merchant that has supported the October Surprise and Iran-Contra
deals and helped Marcos sell his gold on the market;
•
Shiek Kamal Adham was Chief of Saudi Intelligence;
•
Khalid bin Mahfouz was a Saudi investor in several Bush family companies…notably Harken Energy, and a
20% owner of the BCCI.
Much later, Kashoggi and Adham would be primary investors in a Dubai
with U.S.
September 11 hijackers would do their flight training.
104 105
Hilliard would later be shown to have the backing of the
Bush family, Jeb Bush in particular.
106
Barrick would become a quiet gold producing partner for a number of major banks, and its activities subject to an
FBI investigation into gold-price-fixing. The records on this investigation were kept in the FBI office on the 23rd
floor of the North Tower
destination of the Golden Lily Treasure, and the source of the ‘loaned’ gold that flooded the market for 10 years has
never been officially explained.
A key player in the Marcos gold would be Banker’s Trust, which was taken over by Alex Brown & Sons, after
Banker’s Trust floundered financially on its Russian loans in the mid 1990s. These Russian loans were facilitated by
Enron, starting in August of 1993, and very possibly were part of the Project Hammer takeover of Soviet industry.
Alex Brown‘s involvement would bring to the forefront the names of three names of individuals who would play
multiple roles in this mystery:
•
Buzz Krongard
•
Mayo Shattuck
•
J Carter Beese Jr.
Buzz Krongard is reported as the mentor of Beese and Shattuck from their years together at Alex Brown.
Additionally, he managed the merger between Bankers Trust and Deutschebank Alex Brown. Bankers Trust, Zurich
was a key Marcos gold holder. Krongard would move on to become Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown,
Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust, and Executive Director of the CIA at the time of September 11.
Mayo Shattuck would be reported to be the personal banker for Adnan Khashoggi and Edgar Bronfmann during
their partnership at Barrick Gold.
107
He would move on to become the CEO of Deutschebank who would resign as
CEO for unexplained reasons the day after September 11, and would not be at the WTC office that day when the
tower collapsed. It was his bank that was identified as the source of the illegal stock options that indicated there was
insider trading taking advantage of the September 11 tragedy. After September 11, he would immediately move
over to the firm that would replace Enron as the primary oil and gold derivatives trader – Constellation Energy.
Carter Beese, before showing up to work at Alex Brown was schooled at the CIA training facilities of the U.S. War
College and John Hopkins. George H.W. Bush appointed him to the board of directors of the Overseas Private
Investment Corporation in 1992. Since 1992, OPIC has provided more than $4.5 billion in finance and insurance to
more than 140 projects in Russia
(appointed by Bush.) Additionally, he was Chairman at Alex Brown from 1994 to 1997, and would move from there
to also be vice-Chairman of Bankers Trust. He was also President of Riggs Capital Partners. Riggs controlled the
18
famous Riggs-Valmet consultants who set up the international financial apparatus for the Russian oligarchs and
rogue KGB allowing them to steal the Soviet treasury and destroy the Russian economy. Carter Beese’s death was
reported as a suicide in 2006.
What happened to the Marcos gold after it was confiscated by U.S.
throughout the early 1990s, the world gold market would be befuddled by the mysterious appearance of thousands
of tonnes of gold which appeared to suppress the price of gold. An initial lawsuit was opened against the U.S.
Government by renowned lawyer Mel Belli, who represented a relative of the deceased Santa Romana, attempting to
claim his gold from Citibank.
108
That suit remained open in 2007. There were two subsequent lawsuits introduced in
the U.S.
traders suspected the U.S. Treasury was the source of this gold, and contended that U.S.
illegally manipulated for private gain by the bullion banks. The first lawsuit by Reginald Howe was seen as having
merit and cause, but was denied by the court for jurisdictional reasons. A second suit by Donald W. Doyle of
Blanchard in which Barrick Gold was a primary defendant was settled out-of-court in 2006 and sealed under
agreement. Barrick was also mentioned in the Howe suit as a knowledgeable party. In 1992, Barrick had received
special treatment from George H.W. Bush during the last several days of his Presidency, when for a nominal
$10,000, Barrick received rights to mine deposits ‘valued’ at $10 billion on public domain lands in Nevada
109
While there was nothing illegal to the arrangement, a special process put in place by President Bush allowed Barrick
to use outside specialists to determine the value of the claim, allowing them to control the appraised value of the
deposit. That special process was not made available to other mining applicants. Shortly thereafter, George H.W.
Bush served on the Advisory Board of Barrick Gold. In the long term, the Barrick operation would create billions of
dollars of paper gold by creating ‘gold derivatives’, under the reports that a Nevada
doubted by industry experts had actually produced a fortune.
110
A major distribution channel for the sale of Barrick’s
gold futures would be Enron. Enron would also become the vehicle by which oil and gas contracts from the former
the Cold War.
Interestingly, Barrick, which has no mining operations in Europe, uses two refineries in Switzerland
The Vulcan’s Covert Economic War on the Soviet Union
Having found a source of funding for an economic war against the Soviet Union , it appears the Bush ‘war cabinet’
who called themselves “the Vulcans” laid out a four phase strategy. These Vulcans would be the very same
individuals brought back to public service by George Bush Jr 10 eight years later, under the guidance of the elder
Bush and Dick Cheney.
In preparation for their war against Communism, and in the years leading up to the failed –or faux -coup of August
1991 which initiated the last days of Gorbachev and the rise of Yeltsin, Bush and a cadre of rogue KGB officials
built a complex international network of banks and holding companies that would be used to takeover ownership of
the Soviet economy. Over 300 of these KGB traitors who supported this operation would later be re-located to the
US in the early 1990s and pensioned.
111
Periodic CIA reports to Congress would review KGB and organized crime
complicity in the takeover of Russia by criminal elements, but all mention of the formidable role of the U.S.
be expunged from Congressional oversight and the public record.
112
In the first phase of the economic attack on the Soviet Union , George Bush authorized Leo Wanta and others to
destabilize the ruble and facilitate the theft of the Soviet/Russian treasury. This would result in draining the Russian
treasury of between 2,000 to 3,000 tonnes of gold bullion, ($35 billion at the time).
113
This step would be critical to
prevent a monetary defense of the ruble and destabilize the currency. The gold was ‘stolen’ in March of 1991,
facilitated by Leo Wanta and signed off by Boris Yeltsin’s right hand man. The majority of the leaked reports from
the CIA and FBI suggest the theft of the Russian treasury was a KGB and Communist party operation, but what
those reports omitted was the extensive involvement of Boris Yeltsin, the U.S. CIA and the U.S.
19
A key player on the Soviet side of this theft with Wanta was Gregori (a.k.a. Georgy, Georgii) Matyukhin, former
KGB official who had been made the first Chairman of the Central Bank, and after the collapse of the economy, was
made to resign “for health reasons”.
114
In fact, it was Matyukhin who authorized large capital transfers to
Treasury.
“It all began in the summer of 1991 when Ruslan Khasbulatov, First Deputy of Boris Yeltsin who was
then Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, decided to help his fellow countrymen and
instructed head of the Central Bank of the RSFSR Grigory Matyukhin to provide peasant farms in
largest issuer in the RSFSR. The share of the incomes of the population paid through money printing
exceeded 40% (17% on average across the country). The cash sums received by co-operatives in banks
exceeded the cash which they returned by 50 times, which was also far above the level of other
territories.”
115
Later, it was discovered that Matyukhin was actually working for the CIA.
116
In the second phase, Wanta, George Soros and a group of Bush appointees would begin to destabilize the ruble.
There were two major operations: the largest was coordinated by Alan Greenspan, Oliver North, and
implemented by Leo Wanta. They are accused of fronting $240 billion in covert securities to support the various
aspects of this plan.
117
These bonds were created (in part or in whole) from a secretive Durham Trust, managed
by ex- OSS/CIA officer, Colonel Russell Hermann. This war chest had been created with the Marcos gold and
possibly augmented by illegal inverted yield curve gains on the collateral held by the U.S.
resettlement on 1989.
118
The coup would be the third phase. The KGB was well aware of President Bush’s eagerness to see a collapse of
Gorbachev. Many who observed the coup described it as faux coup, which was never intended to succeed Yeltsin
himself writes in his memoirs that the coup was actually a veiled, pro-Yeltsin coup.
119
The generals who conducted
the coup said the same.
120
The 1991 coup against Gorbachev was engineered by KGB General Vladimir Kruchkov
121
who reported to
General Victor Cherbrikov. Both of these men were business partners with Robert Maxwell, a British financial
mogul, a documented Israeli secret service agent, and a representative of U.S.
assisted Cherbrikov in selling military weaponry to Iran and the Nicaraguan Contras during the course of the Iran
Contra deals, and made hundreds of millions of dollars available to Cherbrikov’s Russian banks.
122
Shortly
before the attempted coup of 1991, Maxwell met with KGB General Vladimir Kruchkov on Maxwell’s private
yacht.
123
A year earlier, it had been Maxwell that initiated the dialogue about a coup with Kruchkov.
124
In the
same month as the coup, Maxwell was in Russia
to pass on to General Kruchkov.
125
Maxwell’s chief U.S. connection was Senator John Tower
time confidante of George H.W. Bush and participant in the October Surprise. After his Senatorial career, Tower
actually worked for Maxwell on the Board of one of Maxwell’s smaller publishing firms - Pergamon-Brassey. In
this operation, Maxwell was supported by a former four star general, a retired U.S. Air Force General and a
retired British Major General.
126
It was Tower who released a statement exonerating Bush from involvement in
the October Surprise before the Tower Commission had interviewed even a third of the scheduled witnesses.
This statement is now seen as all the more brazen in that the commission was provided with eye-witness
testimony from two individuals who said they saw Bush at the meeting, as well as being provide a list of 16 more
witnesses and a video-tape.
127 128
Tower had arranged for the Israeli government to provide a $1 billion dollar
loan to Maxwell in 1988,
129
and given the generosity of U.S. financial aid to Israel
was a pass-through loan.
130
Tower had introduced Maxwell to George Bush in 1976, for the sole purpose of
using Maxwell as an intermediary between Bush and the Soviet Intelligence.
131
Shortly after the coup, Maxwell
died mysteriously on his yacht after attempting to blackmail the U.S.
widely rumored that he was assassinated by either CIA or Mossad agents in lieu of them delivering his expected
blackmail payment. Maxwell’s link back to George Bush died just as mysteriously. Senator Tower
plane crash and under suspicious circumstance in April of 1991. Maxwell’s wife was advised by a CIA agent to
discourage any investigation into her husband’s death if she valued her life.
132
The audio tapes he kept of his
phone calls with Kruchkov disappeared.
133
20
The coup was presented by the media as the haphazard, poorly organized effort of dissident hard-liners,
suggesting a group of senior, hardened military officials got drunk, and in a moment of absent-mindedness,
decided to overthrow the government.
“The accounts reportedly given by the three imprisoned plotters suggest that their coup was haphazardly
planned. Mr. Pavlov, for example, said the plotters simply hoped that the Supreme Soviet would approve
their action and that afterward "things would be worked out." Mr. Yazov said that at a key meeting on Aug.
18 at which the coup was planned, he, Mr. Kryuchkov and a third plotter, Boris K. Pugo, former Interior
Minister, who later committed suicide, were all drunk. Mr. Pavlov told his interrogators that he also
consumed "quite a decent amount of alcohol" at that meeting. “
134
It was widely reported that three of the nine primary conspirators committed suicide after the failed effort. What
was rarely mentioned was that two of these senior veterans were thrown out of windows, and a third – Boris
Pugo, shot himself in the head three times.
“What's the hardest way to kill yourself? Three bullets to the head certainly ranks. According to Moscow
police sources, that was the actual cause of death for coup conspirator Boris Pugo, the Soviet Interior
Minister who was officially described as having "committed suicide" when the August putsch fizzled. As for
two other top Communist officials reported to have killed themselves by leaping from windows, sources say
they probably were pushed in order to silence them. They apparently knew too much about the smuggling of
Communist wealth out of the country as the party collapsed.”
135
The only individual officially linked to the death of Boris Pugo was Viktor Erin, the KGB officer personally
involved in the ‘arrest’ of Boris Pugo
136
accused of loan fraud and theft, as part of Putin’s crackdown on the Yeltsin gang.
137
Rather than being a coup
about ‘policy and honor,’ like so many events linked to Project Hammer, the coup was all about the money. The
CIA was moving hundreds of millions of dollars to the Generals before the coup through Robert Maxwell.
138
The people who could best explain the transactions were apparently murdered. The group responsible for the
murders are then later linked via Bank Menatep to the financial groups that funded the coup. As for the other
traitors in the coup, they were all released from prison two years later by Yeltsin.
139
The coup actually seems to have been a long time in the making, with Yeltsin having discussed the coup with
Bush during his visit to the United States
140
That same summer, Yeltsin dined ‘discretely’ with
the Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, Gerald Corrigan, while the rest of the Moscow
with Gorbachev.
141
The discussions prompted by Maxwell with Kruchkov regarding Kruchkov’s interest in a
coup are dated to the summer of 1990.
142
The coup began the dissolution of the Soviet Union
143
and the beginning of the reign of Boris Yeltsin and his
‘family’ of Russian Mafiya Oligarchs, and President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan
out of three votes required to dissolve the Soviet Union were in the pocket of President George H.W. Bush, those
being the votes of Yeltsin and Nazarbayev.
In the final phase, a series of operatives assigned by President George H.W. Bush would begin the takeover of
prized Russian and CIS industrial assets in oil, metals and defense. This was done by financing and managing the
money-laundering for the Russian oligarchs through the Bank of New York, AEB and Riggs Bank. All of them,
notably Blackstone Investment, would be out to line their own pockets.
144
Blackstone would ultimately turn out
to be the investor behind Larry Silverman’s purchase of Building 7 of the WTC six weeks before the September
11 attack.
145
By controlling financial interest in the loss of the WTC, this group could quiet any investment
community demand for investigations into the criminals behind the WTC attack.
A closer look at other activities leading up to these phases makes it clear that is was a U.S.
intelligence effort from the beginning. The economic war also involved Gerald Corrigan of the NY Federal
Reserve Bank, George Soros, an international currency speculator who was responsible for crashing the British
pound a few years earlier, former Ambassador to Germany R. Mark Palmer, and Ronald Lauder- financier and
heir to the Este Lauder estate. Palmer and Lauder would lead a group of American investors in an Operation
21
called the Central European Development Corporation, and combine forces with George Soros and the NM
Rothschild Continuation Trust.
146
This group ending up controlling Gazprom, the Russian natural gas giant,
while the Riggs group ended up controlling Yukos, the oil giant. Ownership for both remains largely ‘hidden’
today, and its front men enduring the hardships of the Russian wrath by spending time in prison.
In 1988, Riggs Bank, under the direction of Jonathon Bush and J Carter Beese, would purchase controlling
interest in a Swiss company named Valmet. Stephen Curtis, a lawyer from Dubai
in a helicopter crash in 2005, shortly after telling a friend that if he died in the near future, it would not be an
accident.
147
In early 1989, the new subsidiary of Riggs called Riggs-Valmet would initiate contact with a group
of KGB officers and their front-men to start setting up an international network for moving money out of the
former Soviet block countries.
148
In 1989, Jonathon Bush as an ‘official’ representative of his brother, would
tour Eastern Europe and the Ukraine Alton
G. Keel Jr, a former National Security Agency Director and a minor player in the Iran-Contra scandal, to go to
work at Riggs Bank, where Jonathon Bush – George’s brother was an executive Vice President. Keel would head
up the International Banking Group.
149
This bank would later be used to funnel money to mujahedin terrorists in
150
but for now, its target was to become the controlling owner of a small Swiss bank
operation known as Valmet. The Riggs-Valmet operation, as it became known, would become the ‘consultants’
to the World Bank and to several KGB front operations run by future Russian oligarchs Khordokovsky,
Konanykhine, Berezovsky and Abromovich. The Riggs-Valmet agents would advise the top four oligarchs in
how to construct their vast money laundering schemes, and would provide guidance to western investors by
touring Russian oil and gas operations to provide guidance on investing.
151
These soon to be Russian oligarchs
had been set-up as front men by KGB Generals Aleksey (a.k.a. Alexei) Kondaurov; and Fillipp (a.k.a. Phillip)
Bobkov, who would also sponsor Anton Surikov, also reported as an agent for Western Intelligence.
152
Both
Kondaurov and Bobkov previously reported to Victor Cherbrikov, who worked with Robert Maxwell. Both
Bobkov and Kruchkov (the August coup leader) were ideologically aligned
153
, and worked together on
structuring the Communist Parties economic activities starting in October 1990.
154
Kondaurov and Alexandre
Konanykhine would bring a here-to-fore unknown politician and construction foreman named Boris Yeltsin from
the hinterlands of Russia
50% of Yeltsin’s campaign funding. In the meantime, Riggs Bank was quickly solidifying banking relations
with a couple more of the old Iran-Contra scandal participants: Swiss bankers Bruce Rappaport, and Alfred
Hartmann. It is through this group that George Soros was engaged, who then opened a second front assault on
the ruble. Rappaport and Hartmann would also extend their operations network to include of the Bank of New
brought into the plan by Rappaport and Hartmann: The Russian Mafiya, the Israeli Mossad, and the Rothschild
family interests represented by Jacob Rothschild.
Soros and Rapport would ensure that the Rothschild financial interests would be the silent backers for a number
of the undisclosed deals. By example, ten years later when Vladimir Putin sent Khordokovsky to prison for
money laundering and tax evasion, Khordokovsky would identify Jacob Rothschild as his major silent partner,
and ‘sign over’ his shares in the oil giant Yukos to Rothschild before he went to prison.
155
The Rothschild
interests would also been seen on the board of directors of Barrick Gold, which may have been used to launder
Russian and Philippines
Russian arm would be a Russian mercenary operation known as Farwest Ltd.
156
Farwest was controlled by Anton
Surikov, another ex KGB/CIA agent sponsored by Bobkov and Kondaurov.
Rappaport would also introduce an American gentleman named “Bob Klein” to the Russians and his Bank of
the Bank of New York
and he simply vanished.
157
No one ever thought to suggest that the presence of this “spook” indicated this was an
intelligence operation from the very beginning.
In the fourth phase of the secret war, the Enterprise
On the Caspian front of this economic war, James Giffen was sent to Kazakhstan
Nazarbayev in various legal and illegal efforts to gain control of what was estimated to be the world’s largest
untapped oil reserves -Kazak oil in the Caspian. Despite much testimony to the contrary, the U.S.
would deny that Giffen was working on its behalf.
158
Giffen would later be tried in the U.S.
22
laundering and corrupt practices. Giffen was convicted but apparently never sentenced. This is a common
technique used by the U.S. Department of Justice where the silence of the convicted party is required. The
illegal flow of money from the various oil companies would reach a number of banks. These same oil interests
would engage March Rich and the Israeli Eisenberg Group, owned by one of the Mossad’s key operatives, Shaul
Eisenberg, to move the oil. (The Eisenberg Group would at some point own almost 50% of Zim Shipping, which
mysteriously and inexplicably moved out of the World Trade Center
attacks.)
Meanwhile, across the Caspian Sea , Bush had assigned a wide array of former Iran-Contra operatives to take a
role in Azerbaijan , with the thought of 1) disrupting the flow of oil to Russia
a pipeline from the Caspian to the Black Sea , and 3) taking over rights to oil plots on the western shelf of the
Caspian. Initially, he sent in the covert operatives Richard Armitage and Richard Secord who worked with their
old colleague from the Mossad, David Kimche, and their old arms running colleagues Adnan Kashoggi and
Farhad Azima to hire, transport, and train several thousand Al Qaeda mercenaries to fight on behalf of the Azeri
freedom fighters!
159
Osama Bin Laden was reported to have been part of this mercenary force set up Armitage
and Secord.
160
Osama Bin Laden had been retained by the CIA to recruit Afghan mercenaries starting in 1979.
161
The recruiting role would later be transferred from Bin Laden to a company called the Allied Media Corp.
162
Coincidentally, the Allied Media Corp. would be linked through the Moroccan American Chamber of Commerce
to Hassan Erroudani, a Florida
September 11
th
attacks.
In a second wave of the Azeri operation, Bush would support the creation of the US
Azerbaijan-American Chamber of Commerce and its Advisory Board which included Dick Cheney, Richard
Armitage, Richard Perle and Karl Mattison of the Riggs Bank.
163
Those were the major operations launched to collapse the Soviet economy and take over it’s key assets. These
operations were assisted by a range of allies of the Bush strategy, and traitors to the Soviet Union . As the Soviet
On the Soviet – Russian side of these activities, the record shows that the early oligarchs were sponsored and
protected by two KGB Generals
•
Generals Aleksey (a.k.a. Alexei) Kondaurov;
•
Fillipp (a.k.a. Phillip) Bobkov.
23
24
These generals, in turn, would be sponsors for the Yeltsin family oligarchs and indirectly accused of arranging
for Muslim terrorist activities to enhance the political future of the Yeltsin family.
164
The individual sponsored
by them to coordinate private military activities was Anton Surikov.” He would be a founder of the Russian
private military group named Farwest Ltd. Farwest was an ex-KGB/Russian military operation which would be
reported to be used by the Yeltsin family to hire phony “Muslim terrorists” for the purpose of enhancing the
Yeltsin family control on the Russian economy. Members of Far West would be reported by French and US
agencies to have dealings with Shamil Basayev, who was trained at CIA funded camps in Afghanistan
165
Besides his connections to Afghanistan
Hafs.
166
According to local reports, Abu Hafs was allowed to escape by American forces, and according to one
report, was actually captured and released by American forces in Georgia
167
Basayev would be reported to be paid by Far West to wage Muslim attacks on Russian civilians.
168
Adnan
Khashoggi was reported to be the intermediary for that arrangement, with the meeting taking place at his villa on
the Mediterranean . Farwest is financially linked to Alexei Kondaurov and Khordokovsky through The Institute
of Globalization Studies (IPROG) for which Surikov works. Far West has received clearance from the CIA to
work for Halliburton and Diligence.
169
Diligence and its sister company New Bridge would demonstrate the Western political and financial muscle
working with the Yeltsin family. Its key members would include
•
Chairman Richard Burt, Director of Deutschebank Alex Brown, thus linked to Carter Beese, Mayo Shattuck
and Buzz Krongard;
•
Neil Bush, son of President George HW Bush;
•
Ed Rogers, lobbyist and US
Alpha Group. As spokesperson for the Alpha Group, this high level lobbyist represented one of the major
Russian crime organizations;
•
Lord Powell, who was previously reported on the Advisory Board of Barrick, is widely reported as a
spokesperson for the Rothschild family investments;
•
William Webster, former Director of the CIA and Director of the FBI
These men, with Halliburton, would become the employers of Far West . In doing so, they would demonstrate
their willingness to hire and retain political terrorists. Ultimately the Bush organization partnership with Farwest
demonstrates:
•
that Adnan Khashoggi, a key participant in multiple aspects of the 9/11 motive and planning, clearly had
no hesitation to facilitate operations which result in political terror and mass murder, and a documented
track record of doing just that!
•
that the Bush family financial apparatus, including Dick Cheney, conducts on-going business with an
organization (Farwest) that arranges contract political terror using Muslim terrorists with the same
background as Al Qaeda, and is a major drug conduit!
•
that the Russian/Israeli Mafiya family (the Yeltsin Family in particular) that has reaped billions of dollars
from Bush largesse since 1991 uses the same political terrorist professionals as the Bush led intelligence
operations!
•
that the Bush apparatus belli had other channels besides Armitage and Secord to hire Al Qaeda trained
mercenaries!
The Oligarchs and the West
In the late 1980s, under Gorbachev, Generals Bobkov and Kondaurov sponsored several bright young “Russian’
entrepreneurs, and arranged for them to work with a group of consultants out of Switzerland
Valmet.
170
This was the very same Riggs operation set up by George Bush in 1988 under the watchful eye of his
brother and former National Security Council director. The names of these first generation oligarchs were
•
Mikhail Khordokovsky
•
Alexander Konanykhine
•
Boris Berezovsky (Berezovskii)
•
Roman Abramovich
25
Alexander Konanykhine would be responsible for up to half of the campaign financing for an unknown Russian
Congressman from the remote regions of Russia
become President of Russia. Under KGB protection, Konanykhine opened a series of banks used for moving
Russian money out of Russia
partnership with Mikhail Khordokovsky in the Bank Menatep. The European Union Bank was actually a money
laundering operation in Antigua run as an internet bank. The computers used to operate the bank were traced to

men who control them are major financial power brokers of the U.S. Republican Party: Frederick Malek (Thayer
Equity ) and Richard Hohlt (the Hohlt Group). Hohlt is a reported associate of Richard Armitage.
Oligarch Mikhail Khordokovsky would be responsible for setting up the primary financial organization for
taking over Russian oil and gas industries, as well as moving money out of the country: Bank Menatep. Over
time, Riggs would reduce its control of Bank Menatep from 51% to a public 4%, although total ownership of the
institution remains cloaked by offshore privacy allowances. Khordokovsky’s dealings would also involve a
takeover of the gas industry: Gazprom, and with it AEB, which had been originally controlled by Palmer and
Lauder.
Oligarch Roman Abramovich worked with Valmet-Riggs to buy into the Siberian oil giant Sibneft.
171
Abramovich started with an energy trading company called Runicom which was owned totally by Valmet-Riggs.
The true beneficial owners of Runicom were never disclosed.
172
Abramovich ran his operations out of the offices
of one of the Swiss subsidiaries of Bruce Rappaport, the former BCCI and Iran-Contra banker. Their start-up
business was trading oil and gas. As part of his trades, he would soon engage and partner with Oligarch Boris
Berezovsky.
Oligarch Boris Berezovsky reportedly received his start as a used car dealer, with strong Mafia connections. He
too would be reported to have received guidance from Riggs-Valmet, and would become partners with Roman
Abramovich. His role appears to have been providing the ‘muscle’ behind various financial takeovers where
there was a reluctance to sell.
The four of them would control the Russian oil and gas industry, and be front men for the hidden beneficiaries
set up under the guidance of the consultants of Riggs-Valmet. This report speculates that the hidden
beneficiaries, if ever found, would ultimately expose the illegal beneficiaries of the Black Eagle Trust, Project
Hammer etc., and would be one and the same as the beneficiaries of the $240 billion security clearance in the
aftermath of September 11

South of Russia, in Kazakhstan
open the oil flow to western economies. Shortly after Giffen established a foothold, Nazarbayev was working
with Shaul Eisenberg, Marc Rich, Dick Cheney and George Soros. The FBI investigation into James Giffen’s
activities that might have violated the U.S. Corrupt Practices act had its records stored on the 23rd Floor office of
the FBI in the World Trade Center
and forward, against the protests of Giffen’s lawyers. The lawyers contended they needed the scope of Giffen’s
activities opened as far back as 1991, so that Giffen could show he was working under White House directives.
Pulitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh reported that there were thousands of illegal oil swaps made during the
early years under President Nazarbayev’s – but none of these ever came to light during the Giffen trial.
173
The Great Ruble Scam
With an understanding of the economic war being waged on the Soviet Union , the focus needs to turn to reports
that on September 11, 1991, President George Bush was responsible for issuing $240 billion dollars in secretive
bonds as a part of this attack.
26
There are six lines of evidence from eight sources that suggest this was indeed the case. Many of these instances
are corroborated with documents available on the internet, presented by those making the claims.
174
1. There has been a body of investigative reporting that suggests that between 1991 and 1992, the ruble was
under a massive attack, with an unknown source of funding. The capital flight from the Soviet Union in U.S.
dollars was estimated by Fidel Castro at $500 billion, and by Gorbachev at one trillion dollars. Somebody
had to put up the lion’s share of funding for those dollars. The most authoritative source on the subject,
Claire Sterling, writes that unknown intelligence operations were behind the attack.
“The fact that scarcely anyone outside Russia
partly by its seemingly unbelievable details, but partly, too, by Western reluctance to touch exquisitely
sensitive political nerves. Western governments rejoicing in the collapse of the evil empire wanted to
assume, and to all appearances did assume, that all the evils in an emerging democracy emanated from
politicians identified with the fallen communist state. Not one was prepared to acknowledge indelicate
evidence to the contrary. The ability of three or four characters to mount such a planet wide operation,
their extraordinary impact on what was still a world superpower, and their singular immunity from
beginning to end suggest the guiding hand of not just one, but several intelligence agencies.”
175
Documentation supporting the contention that there was ‘cash’ in this order of magnitude floating around
appears to have had access to KGB files brought back to the U.S. after the collapse of the Soviet Union ,
notes that prior to 1991, the Russian Communist Party had a reserve of 435 billion rubles of ‘freely
convertible hard currency,” and that in the summer after the coup, there were unnamed individuals in Russia
who could provide up to 300 billion rubles on a months notice.
176
In the former instance 435 billion rubles
in July of 1991 converts into $240 billion. This fund was converted and moved out of the Soviet Union , and
the ruble scam would have needed to provide hard dollars in that order of magnitude. A year later,
Handelman’s second examples suggests criminal individuals had at their disposal $3 to $4.5 billion on short
notice.
177
By comparison, at the same time, the U.S. Congress could not pass a $10 billion appropriation bill
due to mandatory budget ceiling constraints.
2. Andrei Kozlov, First Deputy Head of Russia’s Central Bank, was heading an investigation into the loss and
reported the theft at 400 billion rubles from the Central Bank in 1991. (Not to be confused with a similar
scam run out of Chechnya
someone putting hard currency securities in remote Chechen banks as collateral for Russian loans and then
making the collateral notes disappear from the remote banks at the same time the funds were being
withdrawn.
178
While the black-market value of a ruble was about $1, the ‘official’ conversion rate at the time
was 1.8 rubles/dollar. Using the official US dollar equivalent for 400 billion rubles, the theft converted to
$222 billion. Kozlov was gunned down shortly after announcing he was close to understanding where the
400 billion rubles went. The head of the Central Bank at that time – former KGB official Georgy Matyuhin
– who authorized these credits, on behalf of Yeltsin an at the request of Yeltsin’s First Deputy, Khasbulatov
was retired after he was reported to be a CIA asset.
179
3. Mrs. V.K. Durham, wife of Russell Herman, who was a fund controller for the CIA’s covert fund, has
contended in sworn testimony that George H.W. Bush, Oliver North and Alan Greenspan forced her
husband into relinquishing the funding for the bonds on that date. They later forged Hermann’s signature on
related financial transactions.
180
She also claims they were responsible for his death three years later because
Hermann believed these funds were the property of the U.S.
Bush circle, and protested the manner in which they were being used. Wanta has since maintained a similar
stance, that the earnings from his covert operations should be public funds rather than a covert slush funds
used by U.S.
181
4. Several sources from the Office of Naval Investigation (ONI) have released over 100 pages of bank
transactions detailing transactions in the range of 100s of billions of dollars. These are the same files
released also by Derek Vreeland from a Canadian prison, from which he warned his guards about the
forthcoming attack on the World Trade Center
182
The files
cover three periods of transactions which correspond to this covert war on the Soviet Union ; While the
transactions do not directly show securities going to the Soviet Union , they do support the theory that the
Bush Vulcans were spending massive amounts of cash in a manner inconsistent with US Federal budget
spending caps in effect at the time, and moving massive funding into covert accounts at key trust funds –
most notably Pilgrim Investments, to the account of “Jorge” Bush. (Jorge is Spanish for George.)
27
•
the first series of transactions in August to October 1989 coincides with the Mexican and Latin
American debt resettlement. During this period it has been contended that Bush was responsible for
generating 300 hundred billion dollars in illegal earnings by making other countries debt collateral
disappear for a few months, while whoever was holding this collateral profited from August 11 to
October 6 on what is known as a period of a rare the “inverted yield curve.”
•
the second series of transactions from September 24 to October 10, 1990 period would most likely
represent funding for the purchase of the Soviet gold treasury, and the movement of Communist Party
funds out of the Soviet Union . Leo Wanta reports having started his efforts at this time.
•
the third series of transactions from May 27-28th 1991 would most likely represent funding for his
Ruble destabilization program
5. Documents released from Leo Wanta’s files for these bonds provide great detail about the Soviet deals:
•
These bonds were used to fund an undesignated “joint venture” with Russia
183
Coincidentally, On 14 September 1991, Vladimir Shcherbakov, the last First Deputy Prime Minister of
the Soviet Union , formed the International Foundation for Privatization and Private Investment [FPI]
with two other partners. The second partner has never been revealed. The third partner was the now
notorious Austrian firm, Nordex GmbH. The International Foundation for Privatization and Private
Investment [FPI]. would be one of the major organizations involved in the Bank of New York money-
laundering scandal and a major crime front. Interpol would be reported as making Marc Rich one of the
founders of Nordex. Marc Rich would be pardoned by President William Clinton, presumably for his
services to the US in arranging for the collapse of the Soviet Union , although the reasons for his pardon
have never been made public.
•
These bonds were backed by Swiss gold held in vault in the free trade zone in Kloten , Switzerland
184
.
The Kloten repository resides at the Zurich
Soviet treasury gold was reported as being stored at.
"… tons of the loot was liberated by Ferdinand Marcos before his ouster. Billions of dollars worth were
shipped overseas by American intelligence agents and the Mafia. Much of the horde was cabbaged
away in a high-security, subterranean storage cache buried beneath the Zurich
185
•
The bonds were made conditional to loan acceptance by government officials in the USSR
186
•
These bonds provided, in part, of payments of currency from Lehman of at least $100 million per day
for an indefinite period of time
187
•
These bonds provided, cash funneled to Russia
188
6. Depositions on Project Hammer seems inextricably linked to the same banks and funds as the information
being documented by Vreeland, ONI and Wanta:
•
General Earl Cock’s deathbed deposition in April 2000 describes Citibank’s and John Reed’s central
involvement in Project Hammer in the last quarter of 1991 as being funded with $223 billion dollars, of
mostly CIA moneys. Cocke also references the use of baby bonds to collaterize these funds, which are
10 year bonds. Cocke describes the source of these funds as “accounts, participants or players” with the
accounts converting to bank ownership upon the death of the controlling party, and then to the
government. This matches exactly what Sterling
accounts opened by agents of the US
189
•
Roelfo Van Rooyen’s deposition in 1995 describes Project Hammer as a 1991 CIA operation.

The September 11th Cover-up of the Black Eagle Trust and Project Hammer
With the bonds out in the market, they sat for ten years, like a ticking time bomb. At some point, they had to be
settled -or cashed in, on September 11, 2001. The two firms in the U.S.
be Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers – the two largest government securities firms in the U.S.
agency mostly involved in investigating those transactions was the Office of Naval Intelligence
On that day, those same three organizations: the two largest government securities brokers and the Office of
Naval Intelligence in the US
offices, assuring that the flames would engulf the floors above. This targeting strategy was also used on the 23rd
floor of the North tower, which was an FBI evidence repository holding information on allegedly illegal gold
transactions.
The attacks had a related agenda. It seems that the covert Cold War operation started in 1989 had resulted in a
series of foreign and U.S.
investigations being conducted into bank accounts related to these operations. All of these investigations were
initiated, in 1997-98 timeframe, which was the same year that Osama Bin Laden - after twenty years of recruiting
Mujahadeen for the U.S. covert wars - announced a fatwa against the US
federal investigations are preceded by a period of ‘quiet’ investigation before an official investigation is publicly
announced.)
1) The Marcos Gold Hearing began in Los Angeles
hearing, were the Swiss banks: UBS, and Bank Julius Baer.
2) The Eizenstatz Report and a public campaign waged by the Simon Wiesenthal Center
three Swiss banks.
3) The Reginald Howe suit- in which the U.S.
the market illegally. The Reginald Howe & GATA Lawsuit was filed on Jan 8, 2000 naming Deutschebank
(a.k.a. Deutschebank Alex Brown), U.S. Treasury, Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve, Citibank, Chase, as
defendants. Also mentioned as having non-public knowledge of the scheme are Gerald Corrigan and Barrick
Gold. (The 2000 filing suggests investigations began long before.)
4) The Bank of New York money laundering scandal: the Department of Justice was under pressure to
investigate accounts of multiple individuals who benefited from these transactions: Loutchansky, Marc Rich
and Berezovsky (Berezovskii.) The FBI investigation started in the Fall of 1998, The investor lawsuit was
opened in September 1999.
These investigations involved accounts at Credit Suisse, Union Bank of
All of these individual would at some point be mentioned as playing a role in the money laundering scandal
at the Bank of New York, that would ultimately be reopened in 2002, after being buried for three years by
federal prosecutor Mary Jo White, a first cousin to former President George Bush.
5) The Avisma law suit was filed Aug 19, 1999 naming as defendants Bank Menatep, Harvard Institute for
International Development, and the Bank of New York
6) The federal investigation of Konanykhine’s European Union Bank: The Konanykhine investigation was
begun by the INS in February 1999. Other banks included in that investigation would have been the
European Union Bank and Bank Menatep.
7) Richard Giffen/Mobil Oil scandal- The FBI Probe began in 1999, and would have involved accounts at
Credit Suisse, Bank of New York, Cayman Islands , and the Deutsche Bank (a.k.a. Deutschebank Alex
Brown).,
29
8) Yeltsin’s UBS accounts were being investigated for bribery.
9) Kevin Ingram would testify that he had advised Bob Graham in advance that the World Trade Center
be attacked. This Deutsche Bank executive was convicted of laundering money for weapons purchases for
Muslim terrorists through Pakistani agents; The Ingram investigation was begun by the FBI as early as July
1999, and involved the Deutschebank (a.k.a. Deutschebank Alex Brown).
The records for some of these investigations resided in Building Six, Building Seven and on the 23rd Floor FBI
office in the North Tower U.S.
investigations from nine different directions, any one of which may have exposed the source of that funding, and
traced it to its Black Eagle Fund origins. Those investigations needed to be diverted.
What happened inside the buildings of the World Trade on September 11 is difficult, but not impossible to
discern. The government has put a seal on the testimony gathered by the investigating 911 Commission, and
instructed government employees to not speak on the matter or suffer severe penalties, but there are a number of
personal testimonies posted on the internet as to what happened in those buildings that day. Careful
reconstruction from those testimonies indicates the deliberate destruction of evidence not only by a targeted
assault on the buildings, but also by targeted fires and explosions. In the event that either the hijacking failed, or
the buildings were not brought down, the evidence would be destroyed by fires. In addition to the investigative
evidence being destroyed, the Federal Register reported that the physical securities held by the brokers in their
vaults had been destroyed.
What would be even more revealing would be the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Securities and
Exchange Commission on that day, and in the immediate aftermath. As one of many coincidences on September
11, the Federal Reserve Bank was operating its information system from its remote back-up site rather than it’s
downtown headquarters. The SEC and Federal Reserve system remained unfazed by the attack on September 11.
All of their systems continued to operate. The two major security trading firms had their trade data backed up on
remote systems. Nevertheless, the Commission for the first time invoked its emergency powers under Securities
Exchange Act Section 12(k) and issued several orders to ease certain regulatory restrictions temporarily.
The Federal Reserve Suspends the Rules
On the first day of the crisis, the SEC lifted “Rule 15c3-3 - Customer Protection--Reserves and Custody of
Securities,” which set trading rules for the following processes:
The [seller] is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this agreement an
therefore must keep the [buyer's] securities segregated at all times, unless in this agreement the [buyer]

Control of securities/Requirement to reduce securities to possession or control.
Simply, GSCC was allowed to substitute securities for the physical securities destroyed during the attack.
“…collateral substitutions can and should be made with regard to immediately maturing collateral.”
191
Subsequent to that ruling, the GSCC issued another memo expanding blind broker settlements. A “blind broker”
is a mechanism for inter-dealer transactions that maintains the anonymity of both parties to the trade. The broker
serves as the agent to the principals' transactions.
“The only repo transactions entered into by blind brokers should be those done in direct furtherance of
clean-up and reconciliation efforts. No new blind brokered business should be executed.”
192
At this point in time, the Federal Reserve and its GSCC had created a settlement environment totally void of
controls and reporting – where it could substitute valid, new government securities for the mature, illegal
securities, and not have to record where the bad securities came from, or where the new securities went – all
because the paper for the primary brokers for US securities had been eliminated.
30
This act alone, however was inadequate to resolve the problem, because the Federal Reserve did not have enough
“takers” of the new 10 year notes. Rather than simply having to match buy and sell orders, which was the
essence of resolving the “fail” problem, it appears the Fed was doing more than just matching and balancing – it
was pushing new notes on the market with a special auction. It appears some of the beneficiaries wanted to cash
out!
“Acute settlement problems with the on-the-run ten-year note led the U.S.
on October 4 and hold an unusual “snap” auction of new ten-year securities.”
193
If the Federal Reserve had to cover-up the clearance of $240 Billion in covert securities, they could not let the
volume of capital shrink by that much in the time of a monetary crisis. They would have had to push excess
liquidity into the market, and then phase it out for a soft landing, which is exactly what appears to have
happened. In about two months, the money supply was back to where it was prior to 9/11. How the Federal
Reserve managed this feat is explained in the following section.
The Federal Reserve and the Three Card Monte
On of the most common scams on the streets of urban America
scam are legion, but essentially, the dealer’s sleight of hand which fools the mark is covered by a rapid rotation of
the three cards. It was the rapid rotation of the securities settlement fails in the aftermath of September 11
th
that
appears to have allowed the Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve to engage in a securities refinancing that
resulted in the American taxpayer refinancing the $240 billion originally used for the Great Ruble Scam.
A review of the explanations for the actions of the Federal Reserve after September 11th exposes an amazingly
complex web of analysis and speculation. The reports published by the Federal Reserve argue that the Federal
Reserve’s actions increasing the monetary supply by over $300 billion were justified to overcome operational
difficulties in the financial sector. While impressive as the reports are, what is noted by the casual reader is that all
of the Federal Reserve analysis is speculative and suggestive, using phraseology such as “may have,” “likely,”
“presumably,” or “should have.” There are few - if any - definitive statements about root cause and the
appropriateness of the Federal Reserve response.
The general perspective of the industry is captured in such comments as:
“The destructive force of the attacks themselves caused severe disruptions to the U.S.
particularly in banks’ abilities to send payments. The physical disruptions caused by the attacks included
outages of telephone switching equipment in Lower Manhattan ’s financial district, impaired records
processing and communications systems at individual banks, the evacuation of buildings that were the sites
for the payments operations of large banks, and the suspended delivery of checks by air couriers.”
194
“Following September 11, open market operations were aimed at satisfying the financing needs of the
severely disrupted government securities dealer community, leaving to the discount window the task of
elastically providing balances to satisfy demand at the target rate. The huge additions of funds following
September 11 were therefore a by-product of operating procedures designed to target the overnight funds
rate.[3]”
195
“Fails rose initially because of the destruction of trade records and communication facilities. They
remained high because the method typically used to avert or remedy a fail—borrowing a security through a
special collateral repurchase agreement—proved as costly as failing to deliver the security.”
196
were the conditions that “led policymakers to depart so significantly from previous debt management practices.”
197
While the facts presented by the Federal Reserve analyst’s reports are true, as presented they tend to distort what
really happened in the aftermath of the attack. In truth, while the analysts reported disruptions at over 800 banks, a
deeper look at the reports indicated that only “a few’ were seriously disrupted. The order of magnitude of disruption
31
at any bank was never quantified, with the exception of one. Even that statement however, detracts from the data
which suggest that the disruptions were essentially concentrated in one bank – the Bank of New York. (The same
Bank of New York was being investigated for money laundering charges in relation to the economic pillaging of
aftermath of September 11
th
.) This is because while the Fed was reporting outstanding account balances over $100
billion per day (while not identifying the banks involved), the Wall Street Journal reported:
“At one point during the week after September 11, BoNY publicly reported to be overdue on $100 billion in
payments.”
198
The Deutschebank, which sat inside the World Trade Center
balance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of only two clearing banks which uses the same traders and
communications hub, reported no such increase in its account balance. No one has publicly asked: why is it that
these other two banks were not seriously disrupted, while the Bank of New York – which had no structural damage,
seemed unable to operate? Understanding what was happening at the BoNY becomes critical to understanding the
securities settlement issues:
“GSCC and several dealers could not verify what came into and what left their custodial accounts at
BoNY, they could not advise BoNY of securities they expected to receive, and they could not give BoNY
instructions for delivering securities. Additionally, GSCC was unable to verify the movement of funds into
and out of its account at BoNY (GSCC Important Notice GSCC068.01).”
199
In a world of coincidences, The Bank of New York (which had over 8,000 employees in its downtown location), lost
three employees that day. One of those three employees was a man who was in the best position to explain how the
attacks would have impacted BoNY. His name was Michael Diaz-Piedra III, a former West Point graduate and son
of a Cuban exile. Michael was the Vice-President of Disaster Recovery Planning for the Bank of New York. In the
aftermath of September 11, he was reported as being an employee of Bank of America, or holding another position
at the BoNY.
32
Finally, with respect to the Bank of New York operations and the level of disruption experienced on September 11
th
,
an important element needs to be highlighted. Disruptions to the financial system were attributed to the loss of the
communications hub in downtown Manhattan
decimated when the WTC collapsed onto it. However, the BoNY Funding Transfer operations, which reportedly
could not communicate with the Fed, were located in Utica , New York
impaired. Moreover, the four BoNY back-up datacenters were all located within 46 miles of Manhattan
and did deliver data on tape regularly to the Fed via courier.
In a reported setting of half truths and speculation by Federal Reserve analysts made to appear as facts, review of the
reports of the financial aftermath of September 11
th
suggest
:
•
The disruptions to the U.S.
would have the public believe, but that the public had to be made to perceive a widespread need for
declaring a national financial emergency, suspending key provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and
driving the ‘ten-year special rate’ to almost zero.
•
Certain key unknown figures in the Federal Reserve may have ‘conspired’ with key unknown figures at the
Bank of New York to create a situation where $240 billion in off balance sheet securities created in 1991 as
part of an official covert operation to overthrow the Soviet Union , could be cleared without publicly
acknowledging their existence.
•
These securities, originally managed by Cantor Fitzgerald, were cleared and settled in the aftermath of
September 11
th
through the BoNY. The $100 billion account balance bubble reported by the Wall Street
Journal as being experienced in the BoNY was tip of a three day operation, when these securities were
moved from off-balance-sheet to the balance sheet. (The off-balance-sheet process is described by banking
advisor to the US
Hammer funds – the suspected source of these illegal securities.)
•
By reducing the ‘ten-year special rate’ to almost zero, the Fed structurally increased the number of
refinancing (Repo) settlement fails. Under the umbrella of this artificially created statistical bump of fails,
the high level of fails due to the laundering of the $240 billion was able to be processed unnoticed.
•
The cover for this bubble is found in the footnotes to the BoNY annual and quarterly reports, which report
that the BoNY took over $330 billion of commercial securities business from U.S. Trust between June and
October of 2001, although the assets under control of U.S. Trust in 2000 were reported by two sources as
$80 or $86 billion.
200
Federal Reserve Management of the Aftermath of September 11
There were two key disruptions reported in the financial markets:
1) Excessive account balances in a few banks reportedly contributing to an increase in the account balance in a
wide array of banks which required a massive infusion of credit to stabilize the Federal Reserve system. These
accumulations started appearing on September 12
th
and ran through the 18
th,
. They resulted in the addition of
$300 billion to the US
2) A reported excessive number of fails in securities settling requiring the lifting of controls on settlements. There
were two reasons reported for these fails:
•
Missing trade data due to loss of communications and data;
33
•
Refinancing (Repo) settlements had lost any financial incentive to avoid fails because the special rate for
10 year notes was dropped to almost zero.
The first wave of fails is attributed to the BoNY situation.
“In the absence of complete information on deliveries into and out of its account at BoNY on September 11,
and as a result of its assumption of settlement fails on the starting legs of blind-brokered RPs, GSCC
recorded (after the close of business on September 11) $266 billion in transactions that apparently failed to
settle.… Continuing connectivity problems prevented GSCC from giving BoNY delivery instructions after
the close of business on September 11 and prevented it from acquiring information on activity in its
account at BoNY during the day on September 12. Consequently, GSCC recorded $440 billion in settlement
fails as of the close of business on September 12.”
201
Excessive Balances Increasing the Supply of Money
On over-riding consideration in the Fed’s management of the aftermath of September 11
th
was the concentration in
account balances at the Federal Reserve
.
“It is clear that the concentration in account balances at the Federal Reserve—rising more than fourteen-
fold from its normal levels on the days following the terrorist attacks—was a most unusual event…. If a
large proportion of the balances in the banking system concentrate in one bank’s account, then other banks
will face, all else being equal, higher costs of making payments, or alternatively may face liquidity
constraints on their borrowing, which could preclude their submission of further payments.”
202
It may seem a small detail, but note the qualifying statement: “all else being equal.” An alternative explanation
could be to move off-balance sheet liabilities to the balance sheet and claim the offsetting claims are in the rubble of
the World Trade Center
Chart taken from [Liquidity Effects of the Events of September 11, 2001, James J. McAndrews and Simon M. Potter,
Federal Reserve Bank of New York Economic Policy Review, November 2002, p.64.]
A key consideration is the pre-9/11 daily average for this balance: “For commercial banks, these balances consist of
either required reserve balances, excess reserve balances, or service-related balances.3 These balances and service-
34
related balances for August 2001 averaged $14.65 billion per day.4
203
This makes the actual surges due to the
attack show a net impact of $352 billion on the account balance over the remainder of the week

What appears to be the case is that the Federal Reserve imbalances reported on three consecutive days in the
aftermath were largely concentrated at the Bank of New York, which is reported to represent over 90% of the
imbalance, suggesting the Bank had been the recipient of massive fund transfers, and unable to send out transfers.
“At one point during the week after September 11, BoNY publicly reported to be overdue on $100 billion in
payments.
204
This supposedly was due to major communication and system failures.
“The crucial government bond processing, for example, had a system in which a second computer was
receiving and processing all the data going into the main computer, making it ready to pick up at a
moment's notice…. As it turned out, though, even the expensive backup system was unable to get the
government bond business up and running smoothly. That is largely because of problems maintaining the
communications links that receive information on trades from its customers and report their positions back
to them. ''In many cases our backup sites were dealing with our customers' backup sites,'' Mr. Renyi said.
And though the bank had established communications lines in advance connecting these various backup
centers, they often were of low capacity and typically had not been fully tested and debugged. Even a
week after the attack, the Bank of New York
like its connection to the Government Securities Clearing Corporation, a central part of the government
bond market. On several days that week, the bank had to drive computer tapes with its trades to G.S.C.C.
offices.”
205
“On September 11, we were able to continue processing, as our funds transfer business unit is in Utica
excess liquidity quickly built up because we were unable to process all securities and cash transactions in a
normal manner. The increase in the balance sheet went away very quickly, however, as we returned to
normal processing by Friday and handled the backlog over the weekend.”
206
In fact, none of the BoNY’s systems failed or went non-operational.
“Bank executives argue that some of the criticism has taken on some aspects of urban legend, especially
the notion that the bank was in disarray because the main backup for its computer center in Lower
centers in Manhattan
did on Sept. 11.”
207
Even more to the point, the Bank’s Fund Transfer operations are located in Utica New York
systems remained untouched.
Where the inconsistent reporting gets interesting is that Todd Gibbons of the BoNY reported an “increase” in the
volume of securities on September 11.
35
“The contingency site muse be able not only to accommodate normal business loads, it must be able to
accommodate extreme business surges, such as we saw in the first day in the equities market. Our
contingency plans had included the ability to handle a great amount of excess capacity; and we were able
to handle the increase in volumes….”
208
However, the overall volumes for the day were 25% less than normal and one third of the volume or $400 billion
came in after normal business hours in very few transactions. As seen in the chart below, overall transactions for the
day were seemingly down even more significantly than volume, but the transactions that came in after closing were
extremely large, averaging in size in packages of $35million or more. This would be consistent with a hypothesis
that $240 billion of securities were being pushed surreptitiously into the money supply. Additionally, the conflicting
information from the BoNY and Fed suggest the activity in the bank was different that that being reported to the
public.
“August 2001, the value of Fedwire funds transfers averaged more than $1.6 trillion per day, while banks
held about $15 billion on account.11 ….The value of funds sent on September 11 was $1.2 trillion, about
three-fourths of the average for the benchmark period. However, unlike volume, the value of funds sent had
returned to normal levels on the twelfth and was then at elevated levels for the next seven business days.”
209
[Liquidity Effects of the Events of September 11, 2001, James J. McAndrews and Simon M. Potter, Federal
Reserve Bank of New York Economic Policy Review, November 2002, p65. ]
The Federal Reserve, without providing the detail required to substantiate it’s claims, would have the public believe
that there were widespread liquidity issues, when in fact the issues were very concentrated primarily, if not
singularly, in the BoNY, which has been the subject of an ongoing major money-laundering investigation for many
years. These account balance issues resulted in the defacto expansion of the monetary supply, details of which are
no longer reported by the Federal Reserve. The reported cause of this market malfunction is seemingly suspect. By
comparison, the Deutschebank which sat inside the World Trade Center
and JP Morgan, the other of two clearing banks which uses the same traders and communications hub reported no
such increase in account balance. Additionally, while problems were being documented between the BoNY and
GCSS, no other institution had those problems.
36
“…it is worth noting that settlements occurred at the major large-value private sector settlement systems
(the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and the Clearing House Inter-bank Payments System
[CHIPS]) on the eleventh and subsequent days.”
210
There is every reason to believe activities in the BoNY in the aftermath of September 11
th
are worthy of suspicion
.
The Fails
In the aftermath of September 11
th
, the analysts at the Fed attributed the security settlement failures to two causes:
•
the initial inability to match up trades with correspondent data, and
•
the use of ‘strategic’ fails by brokers in the aftermath, when the special rate on securities was so low that
there was no incentive to avoid the refinancing fail. This reduction in the special rate was attributed to
operations to increase liquidity in response to excess balance issue discussed in the section above.
One key Federal Reserve researcher summarized it accordingly:
“Fails rose initially because of the destruction of trade records and communication facilities. They
remained high because the method typically used to avert or remedy a fail—borrowing a security through a
special collateral repurchase agreement—proved as costly as failing to deliver the security. The U.S.
Treasury responded to the fails problem by reopening the on-the-run ten-year note. The increased supply
made borrowing the note more attractive than failing.”
211
The standard remedy for a fail—borrowing a security through a special collateral repurchase agreement— fell apart
when the Fed dropped the special rate to nearly zero. As a result, a second, ongoing ‘wave’ of ‘fails’ was created by
removing the incentive for regular traders to avoid fails. It is this structurally created second wave that masked the
underlying wave of fails due to the loss of the covert funding notes.
“The Desk “had to accept the vast majority of propositions – even those offered at rates well below the new
3 percent target level – in order to arrange RPs of sufficient size.” (Markets Group of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York 2002, p. 24) On Wednesday, the Desk accepted all propositions submitted, the lowest of
which was ¾ percent: see Table 2. The effective federal funds rate sank to 1¼ percent on Tuesday and
below that on Wednesday”
212
“The incentive of a seller to borrow securities to avoid or cure a fail declines with the specials rate for the
security. When the specials rate is near zero, a seller has little to gain lending money (at nearly no interest)
to borrow the needed securities.13 This suggests that market participants may have little incentive to break
daisy chains and round robins when the specials rate for a security is near zero. This aspect of the market
is important to understanding the fails problem after September 11…. the specials rate for a security will
be driven to its lower limit more frequently when the fed funds rate, and hence the general collateral rate,
is lower. This follows because the gross compensation earned by a lender of securities at any given
specials rate is the difference between the general collateral rate and the specials rate.”
213
As shown in the following chart, the specials rate dropped by 200 -300 basis points, creating a disincentive to
resolve short term, repo fails and creating a statistical flurry of fails.
37
[When the Back Office Moved to the Front Burner: Settlement Fails in the Treasury Market after 9/11, Michael J.
Fleming and Kenneth D. Garbade, FRBNY Economic Policy Review / November 2002, p 41.]
The response of the Fed in bringing a new issue to the market at this time seems to have inadvertently (an
assumption which should be challenged) been the source of continued lower “special rates” on the ten year note, and
exacerbated the fail problem through the end of the year. In the extended condition of a high level of settlement
fails, it would require little effort to ‘statistically hide’ the settlement of the remaining $240 billion that may not
have been cleared in the immediate aftermath. The three week lull of fails in October could easily represent the 30
day short term refinancing of the debt. As the debt came back to the market for permanent refinancing, a shortage of
investors would result in more fails.
38
[When the Back Office Moved to the Front Burner: Settlement Fails in the Treasury Market after 9/11,
Michael J. Fleming and Kenneth D. Garbade, FRBNY Economic Policy Review / November 2002, p
43.]
The critical perspective here is that in making the original paper on $240 Billion in covert notes disappear in the
rubble of the World Trade Center
world taking note. Notes could conceivably be refinanced for 30 days in the repo market, and the final refinancing
extended for weeks, possibly months.
There is a contention that at the core of the September 11
th
attack, someone was planning to cover the 1991 issuance
of $240 billion in covert securities used to finance the collapse the Soviet Union .
The facts surrounding the
financial aftermath of September 11 suggest this is not only possible, but that reports describing the aftermath have
deliberately been misleading.
•
The US dollar money supply was significantly increased in the aftermath of 9/11;
•
The bank at the core of the illegal money laundering by ex-Soviet criminals was the source of the increased
money supply (BoNY);
•
The generally disseminated rationale for BoNY’s operational problems seems to have affected no other
bank in a similar manner or magnitude and is inconsistent with reports on the BoNY operations in the
aftermath;
•
A key witness who might provide insight to these issues is a statistically aberrant death;
•
The source of the BoNY’s $330 billion increase in assets is cloaked under the privilege of “private
banking;”
•
The only alleged “severe” disruption to the financial systems was the Federal Reserves account balance
and the securities trading fails – both systems required to hide the laundering of $240 billion in covert
securities.
39
This is not a ‘proof’ that $240 billion was laundered, but it provides probable cause for paying serious attention
to Durham
black ops and secret financing – the world of Durham
gather credibility.
Mohammed Atta’s Affiliations with Western Intelligence
Finally, if one looks at the affiliations of the attack leader and financiers, one will see multiple linkages to US

interesting aspect of Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft is that it’s Managing Director is Bernd Schleich, the
same individual who is Managing Director of InWEnt (Internationale Weiterbildung und Entwicklung.
If one investigates the activities and research of InWEnt, it appears to be a commercial intelligence
operation that does studies on such matters as money-laundering, weapons trades, drug smuggling, and

later.

Conclusion
History has many interpretations, and this report has been just one of many – an interpretation pieced together
from the bold admissions and revelations of insiders, whose stories have been ignored and suppressed by the
major media organizations. It is an interpretation of history that suggests a few determined men strove to change
the world in defense of western capitalism in ways which they felt needed to be hidden from the public.
Whatever emotion or logic that was adequate to cause them to hide their actions from the public was not strong
enough to prevent them from committing the acts. In changing the world, crimes were committed for the good
of the American public, without the American public having a say in what it thought was in its best interest. To
cover-up these crimes, thousands of innocent people had to be murdered. Hundreds of thousands of people across
the globe have been subjected to the terrors of wars funded by this operation. The ‘few good men’ responsible
for these events make sure no one knows who is responsible, because in their hearts, they know that what they do
is not acceptable to the American public. The alleged statements by Bush and Reagan are testimony to that point:
Sarah McClendon: "What will the people do if they ever find out the truth about Iraq-gate and Iran
George H.W. Bush: "Sarah, if the American people ever find out what we have done, they will chase us
down the streets and lynch us."
230
“If such a story gets out, we’ll all be hanging by our thumbs in front of the WhiteHouse….”
231
It might be fair to rationalize their crimes as collateral damage in a war to preserve the American standard of
living, and that because they risk their lives to serve the American public, they are ‘entitled’ to reap the spoils of
war. If thousands had to die to enrich the life and secure liberty for millions, is that not an acceptable sacrifice?
It might also be fair to suggest that these agents are nothing more than a criminal association of sociopaths and
psychopaths, out to enrich themselves by means of violence, and who have murdered thousands, destroyed the
livelihoods of tens of thousands, and caused endless misery, pain and death for millions in foreign lands. As a
brotherhood always at war, they live under a motto of ‘results at any cost’ and they spin a web of deceit which
allows the American public to tolerate their crimes.
It might be fair to view the politicians who use them as ‘realists,’ who accept the existence of both kinds of men,
and use them to preserve and protect the American public, and like generals in war, be forced to make the ‘hard
decisions’ on behalf of the citizenry.
It might also be fair to view the politicians as ‘opportunists’ who use the agents for their own personal gain. Most
of these politicians made their fortunes by capitalizing on the death and misery of war which they forced others
into unwillingly, and through deception. They have insider trading knowledge of secret funds that in actuality
belong to the American public, and unlimited personal access to those funds.
41
Regardless of any personal interpretation, the process for ascertaining truth which has held consistent with the
values of the American public has been a trial by jury, where the prosecutors and defense abide by the law to
conduct a fair and impartial hearings of the facts. This report is based on hearsay evidence, and as a result,
proves nothing. Hopefully, what it does is define hypotheses to be proven by subsequent archive research.
Americans had a chance in the 1980s to set the system straight, to enforce the law and prosecute those
responsible for the Iran-Contra crimes. Americans could have sent a message that criminal behavior by its
leaders is unacceptable. By not stopping this organization at that time, Congress and the American public
allowed this criminal syndicate of American ‘heroes’ to continue to wreak even more havoc on the world in the
name of the American public. This assault on the Constitution, freedom, democracy, the Geneva Convention, and
the rule of domestic and international law has continued unabated for over 50 years. By refusing to re-open the
widely discredited inquiry called the 9/11 Commission, and by refusing to address the covert funding that feeds
this syndicate without accountability, the Congress seemingly becomes co-conspirator to past and future crimes.
Ronald Reagan was correct: “….America will never make concessions to terrorists; to do so would only invite
more terrorism. Once we head down that path, there would be no end to it, no end to the suffering of innocent
people, no end to the bloody ransom all civilized nations must pay.”
232
Before his death, Erle Cocke testified that he though the whole operation had become too big for anyone to
determine how to bring closure to it, and that those who wanted to see it ended just gave up.
Given the
thousands of people who have been murdered to keep this secret, and given the way witnesses that could
implicate this group are treated, maybe those that gave up were encouraged to do so. Two questions remain: 1)
Does the American public want to bring an end to this covert war, and 2) Is there a way to bring this to closure?
Two American Presidents – Kennedy and Carter – tried to bring this organization under control, and both were
beaten by the machine. Hopefully, the lessons of their shortcomings will provide success in a third attempt.

Brigadier General Erle Cocke’s deposition in US District Court, Southern District of New York, April 13, 2000,
April 13, 2000, (as provided in photostat version in Guyatt’s Project Hammer Files), is a critical starting point
for understanding the fund. In page 10 of the deposition, Cocke testifies he has reported to every President since
Truman. See In Gold Warriors: America ’s Secret Recovery of Yamashita’s Gold, Sterling
Verso, 2005, pp 96-99, the Seagraves explain the origins of the fund and how Secretary of War proposed the
trust to Roosevelt .

see “Wall Street counts the cost,” September 13, 2001, BBC News: “Bond trader Cantor Fitzgerald - the largest
dealer in US government bonds - appears to have suffered the heaviest losses for a single firm….ICAP,
formerly Garban-Intercapital, the world's largest inter-dealer broker….” From “Intra-Day Behavior of the
Federal Funds Market’, Leonardo Bartolini, Svenja Gudell, Spence Hilton, Krista Schwarz, Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, May 2005 one finds: “Euro Brokers, one of the largest brokers of federal funds.”
8
As the largest trader of US securities, over time, most of these securities would end up being held by Cantor, on
behalf of their owners. There are however, additional activities identified at Canto-Fitzgerald which suggests a
very strong connection to the US Intelligence world.
a. Cantor Fitzgerald has what is described in the press as a long-standing relationship with the Office of Naval
Intelligence, the one and only intelligence group that had offices remaining in the section of the Pentagon that
was struck by the attacking flight. see At The Pentagon, Quirky PowerPoint Carries Big Punch: In a World of
'Gap' States, Mr. Barnett Urges Generals To Split Forces in Two, Greg Jaffe, Staff Reporter Of The Wall
Street Journal, May 11, 2004
b.A group of Cantor Fitzgerald executives and traders had been the primary ‘financial/private sector’
participants in economic war games the year earlier, and in 1997 as well. These war games had been set up,
and participated in by various U.S.
the Cantor Fitzgerald offices. It is of notable coincidence that the few published notes on the games indicated
the primary trades analyzed during the games were trades in government securities, oil and gold. The
coincidence is rooted in the observation that it is these three types of assets that have become the focal point
of nearly any and all contrarian theories explaining the events of 9/11.See CFR Bankers Plan for Financial
Crash, Richard Freeman, Executive Intelligence Review, July 28, 2000; Thomas P.M. Barnett, the Pentagon's
New Map
c. At least seven of the top Cantor Fitzgerald executives were absent from the office at the time of the attack.
The President of Cantor Fitzgerald was taking his child to a first day of kindergarten, and six more executives
were scheduled for a fishing trip that day. The trip was reportedly cancelled due to inclement weather at 8:00
am, but every picture of the WTC that day shows cloudless skies. One of the three, Retired Admiral William
(a.k.a. Bud or Bill) Flanagan, is identified as a member of the Board of Directors of the Washington Group
International. Bill Flanagan’s role in this theory is of import because he seems to have 1) had a major role in
the ‘economic war games’ which may have been conducted from the Cantor offices simultaneously with the
other six simulations being executed that day, 2) had corporate responsibility for two firms that benefited
financially from the tragedies of 9/11 (Titan and CACI), and 3) had responsibility for a third firm that may
have played a role in the actual attack (Raytheon) see: Fort Collins , Colorado
TomFlocco.com. Flanagan would then become a VP of Titan Corp., the Defense contractor responsible for
those contractors charged in the Abu Ghraib torture cases.

The issue of explosions within the WTC is contentious, although most of the literature focuses on Building 7.
Little focus is placed on the events in the North Tower
nd
through 25
th
floors. The initial contention that the
FBI offices on the floor were destroyed by explosives to cover up evidence crimes by US officials were initially
made by Dick Eastman. [See WTC Attack Destroyed Criminal Evidence , Dick Eastman,
http://www.conspiracyplanet.com, 10/26/2001.] He references a report by Peter Jennings about the discrete FBI
offices in the building, not listed on the formal occupant roster. The facts which support his theory are
44
1) There was an inexplicable patter of death below the crash in the North Tower , compared to the South Tower
“Among the occupants under the impacted floors in WTC 1, 72 people died, whereas under the impacted floors
in WTC 2, 4 people died. Some fraction of the deaths below the impacted floors in WTC 1 occurred in the
elevators, which were carrying people at the time of impact.” [NIST NCSTAR 1-7A (Draft) ,Federal Building
and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center
Research Council Canada, September 2005, page 2.] Moreover, this pattern of deaths is concentrated in the
occupants of the lower floors of the North Tower
two subcontractors for “unknown Reasons.” “At Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, nine employees and two
consultants died: “Some deaths are understood: One man, for example, stayed on the 27th floor with a disabled
friend; both died. Other deaths remain a mystery. "We suspect some were in elevators" when the plane hit, vice
president Deborah Bohren said. "But we don't really know." [World Trade Center
Problems, Accumulating Comments on…. (c) 2001, Mike Barkley]
2) There is eye-witness testimony that the 22
nd
through 25
th
floors were ripped open, although nothing like this
is reported elsewhere in the World Trade Center
•
22nd floor ripped open
"First plane hit our building at 8:45. We decided to evacuate from the 22nd floor after 15 minutes. The
delay was because we did not know the extent of the damage; part of the 22nd floor was sheared
away…” http://www.huemer.com/ [Inside the North Tower: Witness Accounts, Floors 59-02,

23rd floor ripped open
“We made it up to the 22nd floor. We stood there for a couple minutes. I believe Andy Desperito
talked to the battalion through the fire warden phones. We did locate somebody at the end of the hall,
but everything was blown out. The ceiling had fallen. The drop ceiling had blown to the floor. Some of
the walls were blown out. So Andy and I had crawled down the hallway to get to the Port Authority
command post.” [Firefighter LONG] on 22FLNT

3) There is the inexplicable coincidence that an explosion has occurred on the floor with the command center,
underneath the FBI Offices. It was an explosion that prevented the occupants of the hardened control room from
escaping. “The bomb that went off on the 23rd floor of the North Tower
hitting the building was revealed indirectly on the 60 Minutes program a week or so later-- John Tebeak (Sp.?)
the new wtc security chief being interviewed tells of his rescue of Port Authority workers on the 22nd floor
totally buried in debris when the bomb-demolished 23rd-floor roof collapsed on them -- 30 stories below the
airliner crash! (I have this on tape, and have made the transcript, and can put you in touch with Steve in Maine
who has the actual video. ) [Is there a connection between the 23rd-floor destruction and a phantom missile that
people are claiming to see hitting the building along with the first plane that crashed. People were dead,
rescuers had to dig through rubble to rescue the Port Authority personel on the floor below those 23rd-floor
government offices (disguised as health insurance offices) where information in the above two cases were
being stored. Subject: [CINDS] Frank Levi -- small jet/missile seen flying directly over AA-77 to trick radar/ /
OTHER "REMOTEJACK" REMOTE-CONTROL CRASHJACKINGS DOCUMENTED. The destruction on
the 22
nd
floor is attributed in the9/11 Report to fuel fireballs from the elevator shaft, however, one internet
blogger has articulated to improbability of a fireball on the 22
nd
floor. “As we know, three shafts continued
from the impact zone down to the basement. These three shafts were also the only ones reaching from impact
zone to the 22nd floor. It's important to note that Cars 6 and 7 didn't stop on floor 22. Only Car 5, 48, 50 and the
elevators of Bank B did. So there were no doors or framing which could be blown out in the case of Car 6 and
7. The only one remaining for the official version to be true, is Car 50, the main freight elevator. But the witness
also describes looking down and just seeing cables. Obviously the car would be in the shaft somewhere, most
45
likely out of sight, but the witness describes seeing the elevator cables, which if severed as they were in the case
of car 50, would not just be hanging there. So elevator 6 and 7 had no door framings, and the remaining elevator
50 had no cables still hanging inside the shaft. It seems that Yarembinsky is not talking about one of these three
elevators, which would of course be in contradiction to the official version. Despite this, from firefighter Dunne
and Bessler we know also, that more than one elevator was affected. So more than elevator 50. This then must
be 6 and 7, as no other shaft reaches the impact zone. This would mean that two separated fireballs, one in the
shaft of Car 50, one in the shafts of Car 6 and/or 7, traveled down the shafts and both exploded on floor 22. This
would be an incredible coincidence. An even greater coincidence considered that there were no openings on
floor 22 for Car 6 and 7, making it even less probable that the overpressure of an explosion in shaft 6 and 7
would go this way. This is highly unlikely, and it's reasonable to consider that the elevators the firefighters are
describing are not 6 and 7, and likely not 50. This would lead to the question how the fuel got there. So both
variants, that 6,7 and/or 50 where the origin of the damage on floor 22 or other elevators caused this, both
variants contradict the official version. Because it was assumed that shaft 6 or 7 were the origin of the
explosion, how could the fireball explode on the 22nd floor and on basement-levels without exploding on all the
levels between?” [The Basement Explosions, Member No.: 1,085, Nov 2 2007,

“When hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at more than 500 mph, slamming through
concrete and corridors, spewing fuel and fire, it destroyed much of the Navy Command Center
directly into the offices of the CNO-IP. …Even in the acronym-happy Pentagon, the term CNO-IP is obscure.
It stands for Chief of Naval Operations Intelligence Plot. Its small, typically young staff keeps a round-the-clock
watch on geopolitical developments and military movements Brilliant futures were forged in the CNO-IP.
Adm. Bobby Ray Inman, later deputy CIA director, served there; so did Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.). Radi, who
stood the Intelligence Plot watch in his twenties, later moved to the White House Situation Room. In mid-
August, …the CNO-IP was moving to renovated offices in the Navy Command Center

Independent, 9/13/2001] At some point, the power goes out in the building. They then start walking down the

DOD, CIA, SS, IRS and Giuliani's "Command HQ," it also was home to the Security and Exchange
Commission. Several of the floors housed records pertaining to multi-billion dollar investigations. The Los
Angeles Times reported on September 17, 2001 that an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 cases were destroyed….” “So
very unfortunately, lots of documentation and evidence was lost with the collapse of WTC 7. The CIA's
clandestine New York station was lost, seriously disrupting United States
Unfortunately, "Some further email records the committee has requested cannot be retrieved," wrote Citigroup
Deputy General Counsel Jane Sherburne in an Aug. 7 letter to House Committee on Financial Services. "The
backup tapes were lost when the building in which they were stored (7 WTC) was destroyed in the terrorist
attack on September 11, 2001." [www.thestreet.com/markets/matthewgoldstein/10041194.html] (Author’s

site storage for the WTC was vigorously pursued after the 1993 attack.). See also
“But more importantly WTC 7…. housed high-level government offices including the FBI, CIA and the Secret
Service. WTC 7 was also the storage facility for millions of files pertaining to active cases involving
international drug dealing, organized crime, terrorism and money laundering.” From PBS Documentary:
Silverstein, FDNY Razed WTC 7, Jeremy Baker;
“WTC 7 had a clandestine CIA bunker on the 23rd floor, and offices were occupied by the Department of
Defense (DOD), INS (Immigration & Natural Services), the IRS (Internal Revenue System), as well as some of
the banks involved in shady wire transactions to the supposed Arab terrorists involved in 9/11. Additionally, the
SEC had much of its filings in WTC 7 - including Enron's SEC filings. WTC 7 was likely a central planning
station for what really happened on 9/11.” From 9-11 Science Report, Dr, Stefan G.E. Grossman, Appendix D;
"Maybe no financial institution lost more critical documents than the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which had its New York
that it lost no employees in the terror attacks, it suffered setbacks in a number of long-running securities

The evidence presented by the National Transportation Safety Board is ‘compelling,’ and this suggests a flight
approach at level for which there can be no witnesses other than the testimony their documents provide. The
alternative flight path is drawn from testimony of hundreds of on-ground individuals. Cases can be made for
the credibility of either, but the only real issue is whether a loop occurred, and that is not in dispute.

skimming $5 million to finance the Nicaraguan contra war, but the deal fell through when North, true to form,

gold transfers were withheld from the Iran-contra committee by Major General Colin Powell, Defense Secretary

It is the contention of this report that these funds, identified through time by various operatives, are one and the

Technically, it can be argued that what was done was legal and justified by any number of Executive Orders.
Arguments along those lines seem to convince courts to shut down and/or seal investigations, and make it
convenient for judges and legislators to look away. The essence of argument against the covert activities is that
all of these funds are all ‘secret’ because the U.S.
argument can be found to justify the retention of the gold, the subsequent arguments which would need to be
addressed contend that the ‘secret’ funds violate Constitutional requirements for waging war and separation of
powers. One would then need to address illegal profiteering from public funds, and dereliction of duty for lack
of oversight. It seems that when people ‘disagree’ with the management of this fund, their rights are denied in
the interest of ‘national security’. When a fund that was created in the interest of defending democracy is used
to subvert it – it needs to be exposed for what it is.

The history of Bush / Reagan relationship is intriguing. Reagan did not want Bush as his VP. Reagan disliked
Bush, and was reluctant to appoi nt him as Vice President. Rockerfeller told him that if he didn't take Bush in
the Vice-President's slot, "The only way you will see the inside of the White House is as a tourist." Later, his
support for Bush slid significantly. See also: Haines, Joe. Maxwell. Boston
171-2; 382-6; 402-5. “ It was 1988 when Reagan first began to seem to "backslide" on Bush. He refused to
endorse Bush versus the other Republican Presidential contenders in the GOP primaries in 1988, then refused to
even say whether he'd voted for Bush that year. Then, in 1992, he told Clinton
Bush.”

Bohringer’s past and arrest is best summarized in: FBI Terror Alert in South Pacific for Wolfgang

Best Friend Caught in South Pacific: “You can’t arrest me, I’m working for the CIA,” Sander Hicks, New York
Megaphone, December 19, 2006, http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20061219213258655. Bohringer’s
status as pilot for Viktor Kozeny reinforces the contention he is CIA, as Kozeny has multiple indications he was
an agent for Western Intelligence: 1) Kozeny received funding for his Azerbaijan
laundering efforts to purchase SOCAR, the Azerbaijan State Oil Company, from AIG. AIG has been, since
WWII, a major CIA intelligence operation. History records that the OSS
Nazis owned 45% of the world’s insurance companies, and used the background files from these companies to
plan their espionage and bombing raids. With this lesson, when William ‘Wild Bill’ Dovovan created the CIA,
part of his legacy was an extensive partnership with AIG. [see "The Secret (Insurance) Agent Men," Mark
Fritz. The Los Angeles Times 2000 September 22, 200] 2) Kozeny’s contact at AIG was Frank Gardiner
Wisner [see Capturing the Pirate of Prague, Rob Urban and David Glovin, International Eurasian Institute for
Economic and Political Research, Bloomberg Markets, February 23, 2006] Frank G Wisner was head of Office
of Strategic Services operations in southeastern Europe at the end of World War II, and the head of the
Directorate of Plans of the Central Intelligence Agency during the 1950s.]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Wisner] 3) One of Kozeny’s key promoters was Senator George Mitchell.
Mitchell had served in the U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence Corps from 1954 until 1956, and later served on the
Iran-Contra Senate Hearings and while challenging some of Oliver North’s assumptions about patriotism,
inevitably supported the conclusions of the committee. 4) When Kozeny and his investment ‘partners’ were
brought to US
charges. [see Federal Prosecutors Hope To Revive Oil Bribery Case, Free Internet Press, 2007-08-23].
Scheindlin is the same judge that dismissed charges against Osama Awadallah, who was an associate of the two
terrorists. 5) Kozeny was initially funded by loans from Alpha Bank, which is represented in the US
Bush administrators Lanny Griffith and Ed Rogers of Barbour, Griffith and Rogers [Seller of Privatization
Securities Is Indicted in the U.S.
scam proceeds to repay Alpha Bank. It is of related note that Alpha Bank funds a fellowship for Carl Duisberg
Gesellschaft, which also funded Mohammed Atta’s entrance to Germany

“The organization that apparently sponsored Atta’s travels was the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (its American
component is the Carl Duisberg Society)—named for one of the principal figures in the founding of I.G. Farben.
“News that Mohamed Atta had been on the payroll of an elite international program known as the ‘Congress-
Bundestag Program first surfaced a month after the 9/11 attack in a brief seven-line report by German
newspaper Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung on 10/18/2001 under the headline ‘Atta was Tutor for Scholarship

by the newspaper through the simple expedient of neglecting to mention that the ‘Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft’

In all these cases, the reference to the CIA should be carefully weighed with the consideration that U.S.
Intelligence operations are organizationally fluid. Like Task Force 157, (see Note 75) it would be fair to
assume that most of these operations require plausible deniability, and are not standard CIA payroll
operations.
