CONFIRMED: Vice President of PERMINDEX, Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld, was a Nazi intelligence asset...

[Robert Montenegro]

Strap in people, because this is proof positive that Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld, Vice President of PERMINDEX, was a Nazi intelligence asset, a functionary of hiding hundreds of millions of dollars of ill-gotten finances of Holocaust victims wealth, and his involvement with Nazi Party co-founder Hermann Wilhelm Göring’s  top deputy in the Nazis' "Reichsbevollmächtigter’s "Der Vierjahresplan," Friedrich Gustave Kadgien, a supervisory board member of the Nazi Party's front for global oil concerns, Kontinentale Öl-Aktiengesellschaft—and Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld's connections to financing of petroleum concessions in New York, Oklahoma, Caracas, Madrid and Tangier after WWII using Nazi loot plundered from the victims of the Holocaust...

 

The following is an article by historian Regula Bochsler, published in Neue Zürcher Zeitung Magazine, titled "A new life for three Nazis: How was it possible that in the final days of the Second World War a trio of well-known figures from the Nazi economy fled to Switzerland, lived here undisturbed for years and built a second life?"

 

QUOTE—

"...It is March 1945, in western Germany the Allies are crossing the Rhine, in the east the Red Army is advancing on Berlin, and three top Nazi functionaries are planning their jump. Ernst Rudolf Fischer, architect of fuel management in the Reich Ministry of Economics and former director of the chemical company IG Farben, is in a particular hurry. The Swiss ambassador warned him that after the war "there would be a trial against IG Farben and he would also be among the accused".

 

Friedrich Kadgien also has good reasons to go underground. As the person responsible for foreign exchange procurement in Goering's four-year plan authority, which put the German economy on a course for war, he played a key role in plundering the occupied territories.

 

The third is Ludwig Haupt, director of the Continental Oil Transport AG, responsible for the distribution of fuel. He is a small fish next to Fischer and Kadgien, but he is needed for the ingenious plan, thanks to which the three of them will finally manage to escape to Switzerland in time and start a new life.

 

In 2001, the Bergier Commission came to the conclusion that the history of this trio is an example of how post-war Switzerland maneuvered between the demands of the victorious powers, their own economic advantage and the threat of "moral-political" damage. In addition to hesitant, incompetent investigative authorities and “influential allies”, she also named a “helpful” Swiss lawyer as actors: Ernst Imfeld. But this Imfeld was not only a lawyer, but also a civil servant as the director of the Petrola war economy syndicate. Only this dual role enabled him to protect the three Germans to the maximum.

 

Like many other Nazis, Kadgien and Haupt eventually fled to Latin America. The Argentinian historian Uki Goñi showed in 2002 that Switzerland was an important station on this "rat line". On the other hand, little research has been done into how the Swiss helped the fugitives and benefited from them. The commitment of Ernst Imfeld and his wife Antoinette “Tony” Imfeld to the three leaders of the German war economy makes it clear what an amazing extent this help could have.

 

 

Pulling the strings: Antoinette Imfeld.

In the fall of 1940, Ernst Imfeld took up his position at Petrola, which was responsible for importing liquid fuels. Since the collapse of France, the supply situation has been catastrophic and Switzerland has been dependent on supplies from the Germans. The 27-year-old Imfeld shows initiative and negotiating skills, but the more bombs fall on Germany, the more difficult his task. Many Petrola railway carriages are lost, so that Switzerland faces a loss of millions. This is where the plan of the three Germans comes in.

In December 1944, Ernst Rudolf Fischer and Friedrich Kadgien spent a week in Switzerland. Official reason in the entry application: "Mineral oil negotiations" with Petrola. In fact, they are preparing to escape. And they're not the only ones. Because the requests from Nazi functionaries for "spa stays" are piling up, people in Bern are already joking about the "German disease". Shortly thereafter, Ludwig Haupt comes to Zurich and throws out the crucial bait. He offers Imfeld to work with Fischer and Kadgien to save as many tank wagons as possible. Even German cars, as soon as they cross the border, are said to "pass into the free and unrestricted ownership of Petrola". Then he goes back to war.

 

 

The most important local helper: Ernst Imfeld.

At the beginning of 1945, the three Germans again applied for a visa. In the meantime, however, the federal prosecutor's office has learned from a "reliable source" that Kadgien carried out "very large transfers" of diamonds to Switzerland on behalf of Göring during his last trip. A good reason to reject his entry application – but Imfeld warns that there is an “urgent need” to negotiate with Kadgien and his colleagues. Imfeld was supported by his superior Robert Grimm, National Councilor of the SP and revered by the left as the leader of the national strike of 1918. As head of the "Power and Heat Section" in the war economy administration, he was responsible for supplying Switzerland with energy. Grimm's intercession makes the almost impossible possible: on March 1, 1945, the visas are issued.

 

In the midst of the chaos of the last month of the war, the trio manages to find 28 tank wagons full of heavy fuel oil. When the visas arrive in Berlin, Haupt and Kadgien drive straight to Zurich. Meanwhile, in southern Germany, Fischer is making sure that the train finds its way to Switzerland. The Swiss consul in Bregenz is helping as best he can. He informed the St. Margrethen border post that Fischer had to take care of the necessary formalities in Zurich "immediately" because there was a great danger "that this train would be destroyed by air raids in the next few days".

 

 

A delivery of heavy oil for Switzerland opens the doors for the three Germans. Tank car of the Petrola Syndicate, which imports liquid fuels during the war. Zurich, April 30, 1945—Swiss Federal Railways

On April 28, ten days before Germany's surrender, Ernst Rudolf Fischer checked into the Hotel Baur au Lac in Zurich. Neither the dossiers in the Federal Archives nor the extensive files of the Americans reveal how the three men spent the first evening together on Swiss soil. In any case, they have every reason to celebrate. Not only did they make the jump in time, they also brought a valuable load of heavy fuel oil with them, for which Petrola paid 235,000 francs – well over a million today. Your only concern: your visa is only valid for one week.

However, Ernst Imfeld, his ally, masters these difficulties with flying colors. He gets them a three-month residence permit in the canton of Aargau for the purpose of “spa & business. Meetings,” as the papers say. This practice seems common. In 1948, for example, the head of the Federal Aliens Police informed one of Kadgien's former colleagues that he could not issue him a business visa for political reasons, "but vacation holidays are possible" in order to "clarify the whole matter".

Goering's man: Friedrich Kadgien.

 

In mid-June 1945, the trio checked in at the Hotel Verenahof in Baden and immediately tackled the second part of the plan: getting Petrola to pay for the heavy fuel oil. This is not trivial. The money is in a blocked account in favor of Kontinentale Öl-Transport AG (KOT) and only the Swiss clearing house, which administers all German assets in the country, can release it. The solution: a straw man.

 

Fischer certified the Swiss Armin Moos, former IG Farben director in Vienna, that he received a brokerage commission for the sale of an oil refinery. And Haupt, as director of the KOT, issues the corresponding promissory note for 157,500 francs. With this document, Moos demands payment of his commission from the clearing house. But officials are suspicious. They doubt that Haupt is still authorized to sign. And again Imfeld plays the guardian angel. If Haupt's signature is not recognized, he complains, the contract for the tank wagons will also be void. Shortly thereafter, Moos received an initial down payment of 20,000 francs. For the Germans, a princely appanage falls away. At Imfeld's urging, they each receive a monthly wage of CHF 1,000 from the KOT balance.

 

 

The little fish: Ludwig Haupt.

However, the jump of the three Germans did not go unnoticed. The British have now learned that Kadgien is in Switzerland. Under the subject "Kadgiehn, Curt", an official of the Ministry of Economic Warfare asked the British Embassy in Bern: "I am anxious to have him in Germany to interrogate him. Can you arrange with the responsible authorities that he will be tracked down and sent back to Germany?" But while the British were looking for the whereabouts of “Kadgiehn”, the immigration police, on Imfeld’s recommendation, extended his visa until the end of 1945.

 

It is the Americans who finally track him down in Baden and, in their own words, "squeeze him out" in their embassy in Bern. Kadgien consistently downplays his influence despite orchestrating the sale of millions of dollars in looted securities, diamonds and gold. "It's remarkable how little he was able to tell us during the four hours in which we holed him!", says the interrogation report: "This person is a snake of the lowest kind." The ambassador telegraphed the British colleague: "If desired, would be pleased to urge Switzerland to deport him."

 

After the interrogation, Kadgien and his colleagues find the ground beneath their feet too hot. And again Imfeld puts them in touch with an acquaintance; this time to get them passports for a country in South America. Since he provides "best references", the consul of Paraguay telegraphs to Asunción that he has three "first-class" oil specialists at hand, "Aryans, Protestants, ex-Germans" with "impeccable political attitude" who want to carry out a "general study of the existence of oil fields in the Chaco".

 

When the Foreign Ministry declines, Imfeld's acquaintance suggests obtaining passports in Italy. It is Armin Moos who pays him the fee of 14,000 francs. Although there is no evidence, there is only one reasonable explanation for this transaction: Moos passes on part of his dubious commission to the Germans, to whom he owes it. They provide an impressive CHF 130,000 for the passports, the origin of which is unclear.

 

After half a year, the first Paraguayan passport made out to Fischer is finally available. But it turns out to be a clumsy fake. And the situation becomes even more uncomfortable. In February 1946, two Dutch inspectors arrived in Bern to search for the diamonds that Kadgien had moved with the help of the German banking house Sponholz. The clearing house supports them and has Kadgien's hotel rooms in Baden and Arosa searched. Then she interrogates him in the presence of the Dutch.

[Robert Montenegro]

 

The oil manager: Ernst Fischer—Federal Archive Germany

 

Question: Have you bought diamonds yourself, if so where do you keep them?

Kadgien: I never bought diamonds.

Question: The files of the Sponholz Company show that on February 3, 1945 you bought around 1,500 carats at a price of around 1.5 million marks. They are said to have been the most beautiful stones.

Kadgien: I never bought stones.

 

The files of the Dutch speak a different language. So the clearing house has Kadgien's phone in Arosa, Petrola's phones and Imfeld's home phone tapped. But already on the second day there is a breakdown. Imfeld dials Kadgien's number several times, but is not put through because all the recording devices are busy at the moment. Later, Imfeld explains in a way that is clearly audible for the officer who is typing the recording: "Now I believe that we are being monitored with Arosa." From then on, Imfeld, his wife Tony and the Germans only discuss the bare essentials on the phone, and even that only in vague terms. In addition, the names of the interlocutors in the wiretapping protocols are abbreviated with letters, so that it is almost impossible to understand the connections today.

 

Nevertheless, the transcripts are extremely revealing, because they show that Tony Imfeld resolutely pulls the strings in the wings. She gets insider information in the administration and decides what to do. The formerly powerful officials and directors cuddle. "I acted as ordered," reports Haupt.

 

Fischer reports: "I spoke to the person above." If necessary, Tony Imfeld squashes the nervous Germans: "I was angry at you on the phone yesterday. You must take this very calmly and do nothing to draw even more attention to the case." Apparently she also has better nerves than her husband, who is slowly getting over his head. She understands his nervousness, she explains Haupt, "it's really not nice how things are going around here, unfortunately there's shooting, and then in the end they want to hang him".

 

Tony Imfeld's dealings with his new friends are surprisingly familiar. Kadgien addresses her as "Fritzchen" or scolds him for a "donkey ass". Haupt, on the other hand, calls her "Herzchen" or "Darling", which the official on the listening device acknowledges with a question mark in disbelief. She even helps with family reunification. When the wives of Kadgien and Haupt move into the "Verenahof", she takes Haupt's fifteen-year-old son with her and looks for a place in a children's home.

Two weeks after Kadgien's interrogation, Tony Imfeld gave the all-clear: "The Swiss side said the case was over for them." But shortly afterwards she corrected herself: “Well, I was told: be careful. Caution be in place." She is right about that: at the end of 1946 the French were also looking for Kadgie, and the Americans increased the pressure. They demand that the three “key people” in the German oil industry be transferred to Germany.

 

Meanwhile, Ernst Imfeld is prepared for a further extension of the residence permit. Now he is citing the "invaluable merit" of the "three doctors" who saved tankers worth twenty million francs. When the decision is delayed, Imfeld inquires in Bern and learns that the federal prosecutor's office is examining two anonymous letters. In these, his protégés are denounced as influential Nazis; about Kadgien it is said that he has an army of willing helpers in Switzerland. "Swiss lawyers ensure his stay and local bankers & merchants help him with his illicit transactions. He has bribed helpers in the foreign and federal police.”

 

Those are nasty allegations. But instead of checking them, the chief of the federal police has the whistleblower searched for. Kadgien immediately travels to Bern to meet Federal Inspector Max Ulrich, who is handling the case. He willingly places the cards on the table. And Kadgien promises he'll figure out who the informer might be.

 

After this meeting, Inspector Ulrich is like an inverted glove. Originally he demanded that Kadgien should be monitored because of the "transfer of large Nazi assets", he now reports - incorrectly - that Kadgien and Fischer are neither "burdened members of the NSDAP" nor "unacceptable" employees of the four-year plan authority. Dr. Imfeld and National Councilor Grimm "warmly recommended" that they would help Petrola, live in seclusion and do "intensive language studies for the planned emigration to South America". So there is no reason to expel them for political reasons. Whether bribes brought about this change of heart has not been proven, but it is conceivable. A public prosecutor later determined that Ulrich had "safely" asked for money on several occasions; also of refugees.

 

The chief of the federal police forwards Ulrich's assessment one-to-one to the chief of the immigration police. And he extended the visas until the spring of 1948. One official was so irritated by this decision that he wrote a cynical memo: “Dr. Imfeld von der Petrola emphasizes that the three doctors always behaved 'decently', even in the heyday of the Nazis!" The Allies are not fooled either. A week later, the French military authorities in Singen requested "immediate seizure or arrest" of the "war criminal" Kadgien. Now Inspector Ulrich has to justify his report. He parries with a dig at the Social Democrats. If National Councilor Walther Bringolf believes that Kadgien is a war criminal, he should "quietly be referred to his fellow parliamentary group member, National Councilor Grimm".

 

Almost simultaneously, the Americans put Fischer and Haupt on the list of Germans whom they "recommend" to be deported to Switzerland. But the State Department is demanding evidence that the two have "undermined" the country's sovereignty or neutrality. Thanks to extensive research, the Americans now know all of the trio's posts and memberships in National Socialist organizations, but they cannot prove that Switzerland is under threat, and so their request is pigeonholed in Bern. Kadgien, Fischer and Haupt benefit from the fact that they never made the headlines. Other Nazis in Switzerland were denounced by the press (mostly the left) and had to leave the country. The three, on the other hand, managed to stay under the radar despite numerous accomplices.

 

At the end of 1947, when Petrola was about to be dissolved, Imfeld went from being a civil servant to a lawyer and from an assistant to a business partner. With his German friends he founds a company called Bibo, Société d'Etudes et d'Exploitations SA, in Tangier. Imfeld and Haupt acted as members of the board of directors, and when Bibo opened a branch in Sarnen, Imfeld succeeded in getting his brother Theodor to take over as managing director.

 

Ernst Imfeld urgently needs the support. According to the Federal Prosecutor's Office, the unsuccessful hotelier, innkeeper and butcher is "in an awkward financial situation". In the spring of 1948 he therefore made his company Park & Verwaltungs AG available. It is renamed Imhauka AG. The abbreviation stands for Imfeld-Haupt-Kadgien, but for reasons of discretion the Imfeld brothers are the only directors.

 

The cooperation between Imfeld and the Germans is congenial: They have the international network at their disposal - he does the business trips for which they lack the papers. "I have to," he informs Robert Grimm, "on behalf of and at the invitation of various clients, and I'm really looking forward to it." The journey takes him to New York, Oklahoma, Caracas, Madrid and Tangier. That fits in perfectly with the Nazi oil specialists: in New York, Fischer's old friends work for the oil giant Standard Oil, Oklahoma and Caracas are centers of the oil industry, the ominous Bibo has its headquarters in Tangier, and Madrid is the perfect place to live for Nazis who prefer to live in Spain instead of in far-off South America, where dictator Franco leaves them alone.

 

However, only one Imhauka AG transaction is on record. It has nothing to do with petroleum, but shows that it's doing things with a trowel. It delivers Argentinean frozen meat to the Anglo-American zone of occupation in Germany for a million dollars – today that would be almost 24 million Swiss francs.

 

In the spring of 1948, the Belgians knocked on the door in Bern, looking for the stones that Kadgien ("Gadkiem") had had taken from Jewish diamond dealers in Antwerp. But with the Cold War and fears of an armed conflict with the East, the pressure to hold those responsible in the Nazi regime to account is easing. And with it the zeal in this matter, which is already modest in this country anyway.

 

Fischer, Kadgien and Haupt continue to pursue their South American plans. Now another friend of Imfeld's is supposed to help, Alfred Zehnder, head of the political department in the foreign department. The letter of request shows Imfeld's mastery of flattery and cheating: Three Germans had entered the country before the end of the war "with the consent of the Allies" and he wanted to pave the way for them "to build a new life". Since one of the three wanted to travel to Montevideo for clarification, he asked for a recommendation – "because after the total collapse of everything that has happened so far, you really have to try to help your few friends as best you can".

 

Although Zehnder knows the files, his answer could not have been more positive. He not only sends the "Dear Herr Doctor" his business card for the "introduction to the charge d'affaires of Uruguay", but also unsolicited valuable advice: He recommends "not to travel via France, since the French government has recently become particularly sensitive in relation to the emigration of German specialists to South America".

 

In 2001, the Bergier Commission closed the chapter on the Nazi trio with the remark: "The tracks in Latin America are still being lost." Today, thanks to online resources, it is possible to follow these tracks. After almost four years in Switzerland, Friedrich Kadgien and his wife boarded the cruise ship "Anna C." in the port of Genoa. He settles in Buenos Aires, founds Imhauka Argentina and quickly acquires Argentine citizenship, which protects him from being extradited to Germany.

Ludwig Haupt follows sixteen months later. He leaves his wife Resi in Ticino and elopes with Tony Imfeld to Rio de Janeiro. On July 29, 1951, the two check into a plush hotel on Copacabana. Two months later, they take part in the first extraordinary general meeting of Imhauka AG, in which Kadgien has already invested 200,000 francs. The Board of Directors confirms him as President and elects Haupt as Managing Director and Ms. Tony Imfeld as “Finance Director”. Little is known about the activities of the company, but one financial year resembles the next. At the ordinary AGM, the board members approve the annual balance sheet. At the extraordinary AGM, Kadgien and Haupt inject new capital; everything indicates that this is how they launder the money.

In 1952 and 1953 Ernst Imfeld flew to Rio, so the collaboration seems to be continuing. But perhaps the real reason he travels is to win Tony's heart back. For the time being without success. In 1954, Kadgien and Haupt bought an estate, a fazenda, in the middle of the jungle on the Taquari River. "I think I've stepped into a fairy tale. Great gray herons, storks, marabou, standing on one leg on a sandbank like white professors,” says the memoirs of the German agricultural engineer Oskar Nixdorf, who identified the property for Kadgien and Haupt. "For several days we ride deep into the fazenda with the manager and his people and also fly over it extensively." At what price the 82,000 hectares of land – about half of the canton of Zurich – change hands, Nixdorf does not reveal.

 

It is much more likely that they will also use the farming company to launder money. Haupt invested two million Swiss francs as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Kadgien does not appear as an investor, but later becomes finance director. The company cannot be cheap: in the first year alone, 8,000 cattle are bought and 560 kilometers of fences are erected. Tony Imfeld does not appear in Nixdorf's memoirs, but photos show her - in a good mood and mostly with a camera - on the fazenda. A year later, a second fazenda is bought, in which Haupt even invests five million francs.

 

In 1955 Kadgien and Haupt found another company: CBC, the Companhia Brasileira de Caldeiras, which imports industrial accessories from Germany. Haupt invests five million francs again; the second major investor, the Thyssen heiress Anita Countess von Zichy, who, like Kadgien, lives in Buenos Aires, is investing nine million Deutschmarks. This brings to light that the CBC is undoubtedly used for money laundering. Because the Countess's German asset managers have to realize that the company is not only making high losses, but also has "undeclared" money in it. They take up the fight against the "rags" Kadgien and Haupt; it ends with an out-of-court settlement of unknown content.

 

And Ernst Fischer? He still lives in the "Verenahof" in Baden, but is on his way back to the carpet floors of business. Imfeld brought him together with Werner Oswald, the founder of Holzverzuckerungs AG, now Ems-Chemie. Since then he has been working part-time as a consultant for Oswald and places highly specialized German chemists and engineers in Ems. And in Germany, too, fishermen are on the up again. He becomes a member of the board of directors of Atlas-Werke in Bremen, advises a Düsseldorf company that builds refineries worldwide, and holds a stake in a German plastics factory. When he wanted to extend his residence permit in 1953, he gave it to Dr. E. Imfeld, National Councilor Grimm and Dr. W. Oswald too. Since the Aargau canton police also only reported good things after being summoned, the permit is extended for the umpteenth time. But in 1954, after nine years, Fischer returned to Germany, where he became a delegate of Dynamit AG.

 

The fact that Fischer, Kadgien and Haupt lived undisturbed in Switzerland for years and were able to lay the foundation for a new existence here is essentially due to three circumstances: the selfish protection of Ernst and Tony Imfeld, the forbearance of the federal inspector Max Ulrich, probably due to monetary reasons, and finally the benevolence of Robert Grimm. The political blindness of the social democrat is indeed amazing. Apparently his gratitude for two dozen tank cars blocked his view of the three men's Nazi past. What's more, he developed a friendly bond. It is reflected in the telegram that Kadgien and Haupt sent him on his 70th birthday - "devoted congratulations on continued healthy, energetic and successful years". Grimm's devotion is shown even better in a letter that Ernst Fischer received from Werner Oswald in 1955. Oswald, who, along with the Imfelds, benefited the most from Fischer's stay in Switzerland, gave him Grimm's "warmest regards". He hopes, Oswald continues, to see each other again soon, "to renew the old relationships" that "were no longer maintained" because of Imfeld.

 

This inconspicuous postscript has it all. It is the only indication that Imfeld fell out with the Germans. Whether it was his wife's affair that caused business differences, or both, is unclear. It is only documented that Tony Imfeld returned to Zurich in 1955. Was Haupt perhaps not the reason for your Brazilian adventure? Was she living in Rio in collusion with her husband to collect the reward for her good offices? And returned home sober when she was not involved in either the fazendas or the CBC?

 

Haupt and Kadgien married a second time in South America: German and – as befits successful men – much younger women. Kadgien bred racehorses, Haupt played golf. In the social columns of the Brazilian press, they were recognized as "leading industrialists".

 

Tony and Ernst Imfeld moved to Ticino together in 1961..."

Continuing with the paradox of Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld, Nazi intelligence asset, & Vice President of PERMINDEX, and how the above information relates to the murder of President Kennedy, I will start by quoting from pgs. 385-386 of the brillant book "Destiny Betrayed (Second Edition) JFK, Cuba, And The Garrison Case" by James DiEugenio.

 

QUOTE —

 

"...When the announcement for Permindex was first made in Switzerland in late 1956, its principal backing was to come from a local banker named Hans Seligman. But as more investigation by the local papers was done, it became clear that the real backer was J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation. This information was quite revealing. Schroder's had been closely associated with Allen Dulles and the CIA for years. Allen Dulles's connections to the Schroder banking family went back to the thirties when his law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, first began representing them through him. Later, Dulles was the bank's General Counsel. In fact, when Dulles was the CIA Director, Schroder's was reportedly a repository for a fifty million dollar contingency fund that Dulles personally controlled. Schroder’s was a welcome conduit because the bank benefited from previous CIA overthrows in Guatemala and Iran. Another reason that there began to be a furor over Permindex in Switzerland was the fact that the bank’s founder, Baron Kurt von Schroder, was associated with the Third Reich, specifically Heinrich Himmler.

 

The project now became stalled in Switzerland. It now moved to Rome. In a September 1969 interview Shaw did for Penthouse Magazine, he told James Phelan that he only grew interested in the project when it moved to Italy. Which was in October 1958. Yet a State Department cable dated April 9 of that year says that Shaw showed great interest in Permindex from the outset.

 

One can see why. The board of directors as made up of bankers who had been tied up with fascist governments, people who worked the Jewish refugee racket during World War II, a former member of Mussolini’s cabinet, and the son-in-law of Hjalmar Schacht, the economic wizard behind the Third Reich, who was a friend of Shaw’s. These people would all appeal to the conservative Shaw. There were at least four international newspapers that exposed the bizarre activities of Permindex when it was in Rome. One problem was the mysterious source of funding: no one knew where it was coming from. Another was that its activities reportedly included assassination attempts on French Premier Charles De Gaulle. Which would make sense since the founding member of Permindex, Ferenc Nagy, was a close friend of Jacques Soustelle. Soustelle was a leader of the OAS, a group of former French officers who broke with De Gaulle over his Algerian policy. They later made several attempts on De Gaulle’s life, which the CIA was privy to. Again, this mysterious source of funding, plus the rightwing, neo-Fascist directors created another wave of controversy. One newspaper wrote that the organization may have been “a creature of the CIA . . . set up as a cove for the transfer of CIA . . . funds in Italy for legal political-espionage activities.” The Schroder connection would certainly suggest that..."

Just to put that last part into perspective, Allen Welsh Dulles, the CIA Director who President Kennedy sacked, could at anytime, pull funds for his personal use, to the tune of $50,000,000.00 USD. Now, adjusting for a 737.9% cumulative rate of inflation, in this most foul year of our lord, two-thousand and twenty-three, that is the equivalent of $498,544,117.65 USD!

 

Allen Dulles (my personal prime suspect in the murder of President Kennedy) could, at any given moment, pull half a billion dollars out of thin air for his own personal use?!

 

Funds that were backing a CIA-front company filled with real, living and breathing World War II "Axis Power" financiers? 

 

 

I shall now quote from the notes section of an article published by Professor Peter Dale Scott in The Asia-Pacific Journal. The article is titled, "The Dulles Brothers, Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss, and the Fate of the Private Pre-War International Banking System" and can be found at the following link:

"... 62. The J. Henry Schröder & Co. Bank and J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation (Schrobanco, the firm of which Allen Dulles had been an officer) had a financial stake in all three of Allen Dulles’ major CIA covert operations. Schröder had financed the creation of Anglo-Persian (later Anglo-Iranian) oil: thus Frank Cyril Tiarks was a partner both in J. Henry Schröder & Co., and also in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (1917-1948). (He was also a member of the Ribbentrop-inspired Anglo-German Fellowship and of the British Union of Fascists.) Schrobanco had a stake in the International Railways of Central America, a firm developed in conjunction with what became United Fruit in order to ship out United Fruit’s bananas in Guatemala. Both Schröders and Schrobanco were heavily invested in Cuban sugar; and M.E. Rionda, president of Cuba Cane Corporation, was a member of Schrobanco’s board..."

The above information speaks for itself. In short, as far as I see it (and I have fought in combat for the United States), all U.S. covert action during the reign of Allen Dulles was for the benefit of his investors in Schorder Bank. PERIOD! The "Cold War" was a sham to keep him and a few hundred of his closest fascist business partners controlling 99% of all Earthly resources. 

 

The 1953 Iranian coup d'état code-named "Operation Ajax" and the torture and mass-murder of liberal social democrats that followed, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

The 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, code-named "Operation PBSUCCESS" and the indigenous genocide that followed, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

The 1961 anti-Castro terrorist-led invasion at bahía de Cochinos, code-named "Operation Zapata" and the non-stop (to this very second) U.S. state-sponsored terrorist strikes against the peoples of that tiny island, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

And J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation is the force behind PERMINDEX?

 

And PERMINDEX was financing the treasonous 1961 murder attempts against French President Charles de Gaulle?

 

Clearly, Allen Welsh Dulles was the point man to any covert operation PERMINDEX was involved with in 1963, domestically speaking, in the United States of America, and Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld Vice President of PERMINDEX, was a Nazi intelligence agent that worked for Standard Oil, Oklahoma after WWII and set up Nazi-connected petroleum fronts in New York, Oklahoma, Caracas, Madrid and Tangier using a secret slush-fund of Holocaust victim loot provided by Nazi Party co-founder Hermann Wilhelm Göring’s  top finaical officer Friedrich Gustave Kadgien!

 

 

Clearly, if PERMINDEX had anything to do with financing the murder of President Kennedy, so did Nazi loot plundered from the victims of the Holocaust...

Besides firing  Dulles, JFK also fired Charles Cabell, who worked directly for Dulles.  Charles Cabell's  brother, Earle Cabell, was the mayor of Dallas at the time of the JFKA.  That is why , I believe, JFK was doomed as soon as he arrived in Dallas.

Absolutely, Mr. Schwartz, and I am so glad you brought up Kennedy's firing of Dulles, Cabell, and Bissell.

 

CIA Deputy Director for Plans, Richard Mervin Bissell Jr.—fired by President Kennedy, along with the brother of the Mayor of Dallas, CIA Deputy Director, USAF Gen. Charles Pearre Cabell—was a close advisor to OAS commanders to were involved in the assassination attempts against French President Charles de Gaulle:

That allows me to segue to the following information... 

 

In regards to SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny's involvement in the murder of President Kennedy, I would Like to quote once again from pg. 386 of the brillant book "Destiny Betrayed (Second Edition) JFK, Cuba, And The Garrison Case" by James DiEugenio.

"... There were at least four international newspapers that exposed the bizarre activities of Permindex when it was in Rome. One problem was the mysterious source of funding: no one knew where it was coming from. Another was that its activities reportedly included assassination attempts on French Premier Charles De Gaulle. Which would make sense since the founding member of Permindex, Ferenc Nagy, was a close friend of Jacques Soustelle. Soustelle was a leader of the OAS, a group of former French officers who broke with De Gaulle over his Algerian policy. They later made several attempts on De Gaulle’s life, which the CIA was privy to. Again, this mysterious source of funding, plus the rightwing, neo-Fascist directors created another wave of controversy. One newspaper wrote that the organization may have been “a creature of the CIA . . . set up as a cove for the transfer of CIA . . . funds in Italy for legal political-espionage activities.” The Schroder connection would certainly suggest that..."

 If PERMINDEX was financing the treasonous 1961 Organisation de l'Armée Secrète murder attempts against French President Charles de Gaulle, then one must ask themselves—who organized the Organisation de l'Armée Secrète's plot?

 

The answer to that question comes from Professor Jeffery M. Bale's stellar exposé "The Darkest Sides Of Politics I: Postwar Fascism, Covert Operations, And Terrorism", here is a little fascist ditty about a 1961 meeting between Organisation de l'Armée Secrète leaders, US Central Intelligence Agency operatives and der Führer's favorite little commando, Waffen-Schutzstaffel Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny. 

 

The following is are quotes from Professor Bale's "The Darkest Sides Of Politics I", can be found in main body, pgs. 76-78, for chapter three, entitled, "Postwar Neo-Fascist Internationals, Part I: Nazi escape networks, the Movement Social Européenne, Europäische Neu-Ordnung, and Jeune Europe".

 

QUOTE—

 

"...From this point on, certain factions within U.S. intelligence appear to have secretly protected Skorzeny in order to make special use of his specialized abilities, unbeknownst to other Allied security personnel without a "need to know," who tried to track his movements and prevent him from engaging in anti-democratic actions. This was a general pattern that has now been amply documented in the cases of many high-profile Nazi figures, such as Barbie, Brunner, and Schwend. In this case the protective group issued a warning to their famous prisoner, who was then supposed to be writing an account of Mussolini's rescue for the U.S. Army's Historical Division, to the effect that continued Czech demands for his extradition could not be ignored or delayed indefinitely. In all probability they then facilitated his escape from Darmstadt detention center by providing American military police uniforms for three former SS men, who were thereby able to dupe the German camp guards into releasing him into their custody. After a period of general confusion in which his whereabouts were only known to those who were actively involved in sheltering him, unsubstantiated stories appeared in the press which claimed the Skorzeny had been flown to an American base in Georgia to help train U.S. paratroopers. In 1950 he was definitely spotted in Paris, where politically motivated rumors were circulated that he was engaged in gathering information about the Parti Communiste Français (PCF: French Communist Party). 

     However propagandistic these specific claims may appear, report prepared by the 66th CIC group admitted that he might have been working for U.S. intelligence since his escape from prison, and another by the 7970th CIC group suggested that he may have been aided by the Americans during his subsequent flight from France and his secret re-entry into West Germany. There is no doubt, moreover, that the Anglo-American intelligence personnel kept him under regular observation after heh settled in Spain, because those outside the information loop did not know those affiliated with the latter were not yet entirely certain that he could be trusted. Indeed, in 1951 Skorzeny approached an American military attaché in Madrid and offered to recruit German veterans into anti-communist guerrilla units capable of fighting behind enemy lines should the Soviets invade Western Europe. Although this particular proposal was turned down — perhaps because the United States was already setting up such stay/behind groups throughout non-communist Europe — Skorzeny was at some point recruited as contract agent by Gehlen, a convenient arrangement that provided the Americans with a degree of "plausible deniability" had anyone asked if they were making use of his services themselves. It was in part due to these very intelligence contacts that Skorzeny became actively involved in a number of terrorist and covert operations over the course of the next twenty years. 

     Some of these operations deserve to be highlighted, because they provide a good illustration of the postwar utilization of European right-wing extremists by elements of Western Intelligence. Among other things, Skorzeny purportedly trained personnel from the Argentine secret police and the Buenos Aires police in torture and interrogation techniques during his periodic stays with Juan and Eva Perón prior to the dictator's 1955 ouster and flight to Spain. In late 1952, in response to a request from Jamāl ʻAbdu al-Nāṣir, CIA chief Allen Dulles turned to Gehlen for help in recruiting personnel to train the Egyptian intelligence and security services. With Schacht's help, Gehlen persuaded Skorzeny to take the job after assurancing him that the salary paid by al-Nāṣir would be supplemented by CIA funds laundered through the Org. So it was that the Austrian spent a total of eighteen months recruiting one hundred German advisors from the SS underground and neo-fascist outfits, and more suspect sources claim that he also trained Arab guerillas in commando tactics and protected some of the ex-Nazi technicians working for al-Nāṣir from Israeli "hit" teams. Furthermore, "Scarface" may have secretly met with three CIA officials, two West Germans, a Spaniard, and three French military officers in Madrid on 12 April 1961. Among these Frenchmen were two experienced soldiers who were later to play a key role in the Organisation de l'Armée Secrète (OAS: Secret Army Organization), General Paul Gardy, formerly Inspector general of the Légion Étrangère (Foreign Legion), and guerre révolutionnaire Colonel Jean Gardes, the most highly decorated officer in the French Army between 1944 and 1945 and eventually the head of the 5th (Psychological Warfare) Bureau in Algiers. Whether Skorzeny thereafter kept in contact with and provided operational or logistical assistance to elements of the OAS, as communist sources claim, is a controversial issue that deserves further study. In this connection, it should be pointed out that Waffen-SS and Wehrmacht veterans made up a substantial portion of the rank-and-file within the elite paratroop regiments of the Légion, the very units that were actively involved  in the military revolts in Algeria. 

     It is also worth noting the existence of various direct and indirect personal links between "Hitler's commando" and elements implicated in later acts of neo-fascist terrorist violence. For one thing, one of the key activists working for Aginter Presse, a press agency in Lisbon that served to disguise the activities of an international center of right-wing subversion, was Robert Leroy, formerly an instructor at Skorzeny's school for saboteurs. For another, one of Skorzeny's chief patrons and associates in Spain, the Duke of Valencia, was the principal shareholder in the bank which owned a company that was used to "cover" the activities of the Exército de Libertação Português (ELP: Portuguese Liberation Army), a clandestine right-wing paramilitary group that sought to overthrow the post-1974 regime set up by leftist elements within the Portuguese armed forces. In this context, it may also be significant that General António de Spínola, the titular leader of the Portuguese counterrevolutionary forces that had created the ELP, received a visit from a representative of the arms-trading company Merex during a July 1975 trip he took to Paris to develop a European support network. Merex, some of whose profits allegedly went into the coffers of certain neo-fascist organizations, exhibited other unusual characteristics. It had been founded in Bonn in 1963 by former SS man and wartime Skorzeny collaborator Gerhard Martins, was thereafter represented by some of "Scarfaces's" Nazi associates in various Latin American countries, and was reportedly a proprietary of Gehlen's BND. Last but not least, Skorzeny may have been one of the key figures in Gehard Hartmut von Schubert's Paladin Group, which specialized in recruiting mercenaries and counterguerrilla specialists to undertake anti-communist operations in every part of the globe..."

SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny was a force behind the Organisation de l'Armée Secrète plots to murder French President Charles de Gaulle?

 

PERMINDEX was financing the treasonous 1961 Organisation de l'Armée Secrète murder attempts against French President Charles de Gaulle?

 

Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld Vice President of PERMINDEX, was a Nazi intelligence agent that was using a gargantuan secret slush-fund of Holocaust victim loot provided by Nazi Party to finance his front companies?

 

Allen Welsh Dulles, the CIA Director who President Kennedy sacked, could at anytime, pull funds for his personal use, to the tune of $498,544,117.65 US dollars from his secret account at the Nazi-controlled J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation?

 

And J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation is the force behind PERMINDEX?

 

 

 

So what force was behind President Kennedy's murder?

And for those of you out there that want to keep on screaming about anti-Castro Cubans murdering President Kennedy, consider the following information:

 

• William King Harvey—CIA Chief of Task Force W, the CIA support mechanism for Operation Mongoose, was formerly commander of the CIA's Berlin Operations Base, and a subordinate to Nazi war criminal, Generalleutnant Reinhard Gehlen.

 

•  Henry D. Hecksher—CIA commander of AMWORLD, was formerly, Chief of Counterintelligence, at the CIA's Berlin Operations Base, and a subordinate to Nazi war criminal, Generalleutnant Reinhard Gehlen.

 

• Theodore George Shackley Jr.—CIA commander of JMWAVE, domestic base for all anti-Castro operations, was formerly an officer at the CIA's Berlin Operations Base, and a subordinate to Nazi war criminal, Generalleutnant Reinhard Gehlen.

 

• David “El Indio” Sánchez Morales AKA Stanley R. Zamka—CIA Chief of Foreign Intelligence, Counterintelligence Staff, Western Hemisphere Division, AMOT commander, Operation 40 commander, JMWAVE Chief of Covert Action, & JMWAVE Chief of Counterintelligence, was formerly an officer at the CIA's Berlin Operations Base, and a subordinate to Nazi war criminal, Generalleutnant Reinhard Gehlen.

 

 

Strange, no? All of these commanders of anti-Castro operations having a peculiar common denominator...

"...When the announcement for Permindex was first made in Switzerland in late 1956, its principal backing was to come from a local banker named Hans Seligman. But as more investigation by the local papers was done, it became clear that the real backer was J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation. This information was quite revealing. Schroder's had been closely associated with Allen Dulles and the CIA for years. Allen Dulles's connections to the Schroder banking family went back to the thirties when his law firm, Sullivan and Cromwell, first began representing them through him. Later, Dulles was the bank's General Counsel. In fact, when Dulles was the CIA Director, Schroder's was reportedly a repository for a fifty million dollar contingency fund that Dulles personally controlled. Schroder’s was a welcome conduit because the bank benefited from previous CIA overthrows in Guatemala and Iran. Another reason that there began to be a furor over Permindex in Switzerland was the fact that the bank’s founder, Baron Kurt von Schroder, was associated with the Third Reich, specifically Heinrich Himmler.

 

The project now became stalled in Switzerland. It now moved to Rome. In a September 1969 interview Shaw did for Penthouse Magazine, he told James Phelan that he only grew interested in the project when it moved to Italy. Which was in October 1958. Yet a State Department cable dated April 9 of that year says that Shaw showed great interest in Permindex from the outset.

 

One can see why. The board of directors as made up of bankers who had been tied up with fascist governments, people who worked the Jewish refugee racket during World War II, a former member of Mussolini’s cabinet, and the son-in-law of Hjalmar Schacht, the economic wizard behind the Third Reich, who was a friend of Shaw’s. These people would all appeal to the conservative Shaw. There were at least four international newspapers that exposed the bizarre activities of Permindex when it was in Rome. One problem was the mysterious source of funding: no one knew where it was coming from. Another was that its activities reportedly included assassination attempts on French Premier Charles De Gaulle. Which would make sense since the founding member of Permindex, Ferenc Nagy, was a close friend of Jacques Soustelle.

Just to put that last part into perspective, Allen Welsh Dulles, the CIA Director who President Kennedy sacked, could at anytime, pull funds for his personal use, to the tune of $50,000,000.00 USD. Now, adjusting for a 737.9% cumulative rate of inflation, in this most foul year of our lord, two-thousand and twenty-three, that is the equivalent of $498,544,117.65 USD!

 

Allen Dulles (my personal prime suspect in the murder of President Kennedy) could, at any given moment, pull half a billion dollars out of thin air for his own personal use?!

 

Funds that were backing a CIA-front company filled with real, living and breathing World War II "Axis Power" financiers? 

 

 

I shall now quote from the notes section of an article published by Professor Peter Dale Scott in The Asia-Pacific Journal. The article is titled, "The Dulles Brothers, Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss, and the Fate of the Private Pre-War International Banking System" and can be found at the following link:

"... 62. The J. Henry Schröder & Co. Bank and J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation (Schrobanco, the firm of which Allen Dulles had been an officer) had a financial stake in all three of Allen Dulles’ major CIA covert operations. Schröder had financed the creation of Anglo-Persian (later Anglo-Iranian) oil: thus Frank Cyril Tiarks was a partner both in J. Henry Schröder & Co., and also in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (1917-1948). (He was also a member of the Ribbentrop-inspired Anglo-German Fellowship and of the British Union of Fascists.) Schrobanco had a stake in the International Railways of Central America, a firm developed in conjunction with what became United Fruit in order to ship out United Fruit’s bananas in Guatemala. Both Schröders and Schrobanco were heavily invested in Cuban sugar; and M.E. Rionda, president of Cuba Cane Corporation, was a member of Schrobanco’s board..."

The above information speaks for itself. In short, as far as I see it (and I have fought in combat for the United States), all U.S. covert action during the reign of Allen Dulles was for the benefit of his investors in Schorder Bank. PERIOD! The "Cold War" was a sham to keep him and a few hundred of his closest fascist business partners controlling 99% of all Earthly resources. 

 

The 1953 Iranian coup d'état code-named "Operation Ajax" and the torture and mass-murder of liberal social democrats that followed, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

The 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, code-named "Operation PBSUCCESS" and the indigenous genocide that followed, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

The 1961 anti-Castro terrorist-led invasion at bahía de Cochinos, code-named "Operation Zapata" and the non-stop (to this very second) U.S. state-sponsored terrorist strikes against the peoples of that tiny island, was primarily for the benefit of J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation shareholders.

 

And J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation is the force behind PERMINDEX?

 

And PERMINDEX was financing the treasonous 1961 murder attempts against French President Charles de Gaulle?

 

Clearly, Allen Welsh Dulles was the point man to any covert operation PERMINDEX was involved with in 1963, domestically speaking, in the United States of America, and Dr. Ernst W. Imfeld Vice President of PERMINDEX, was a Nazi intelligence agent that worked for Standard Oil, Oklahoma after WWII and set up Nazi-connected petroleum fronts in New York, Oklahoma, Caracas, Madrid and Tangier using a secret slush-fund of Holocaust victim loot provided by Nazi Party co-founder Hermann Wilhelm Göring’s  top finaical officer Friedrich Gustave Kadgien!

 

 

Clearly, if PERMINDEX had anything to do with financing the murder of President Kennedy, so did Nazi loot plundered from the victims of the Holocaust... 

 

 

Just to put that last part into perspective, Allen Welsh Dulles, the CIA Director who President Kennedy sacked, could at anytime, pull funds for his personal use, to the tune of $50,000,000.00 USD. Now, adjusting for a 737.9% cumulative rate of inflation, in this most foul year of our lord, two-thousand and twenty-three, that is the equivalent of $498,544,117.65 USD!--RM

Technical note: 

Oh, more than that.

You have certainly, very credibly, widened the range of suspicions in the JFKA.

Robert - that is really tremendous research, pulling all this together and bringing in the rather mysterious Permindex. No wonder the goons stopped Garrison. Funny - last night I was thinking about Permindex - yet again, as this comes up often in my forever seeking brain. It was Jim D that first opened that door for me too, and we have had numerous exchanges on the forum, most recently with the Italian researcher Metta. This all becomes important because of Clay Shaw. Btw didn’t Pierre Lafitte later work for Shaw as a chef? During which time he helped raid Garrison’s files? I can only imagine WHICH files they searched for and removed. Seems obvious now that it wasn’t random.

Thank you Paul.

 

Agreed about Jim (despite the two of us butting heads recently, I hope he'll come around to my thesis, that an international consortium of fascists murdered President Kennedy)—if it were not for his stellar work concerning PERMINDEX, I would not be able to draw the conclusions I make, not to mention the vast array of sources now currently at our disposal.

 

I must admit, Michele Metta's, "Accomplishing Jim Garrison’s Investigation on the Trail of the Assassins of JFK" was an informative, yet painful read (I literally got headaches because of the way it was formatted, and had to put it down several times).

 

However, Mr. Metta did put together a very informative video about the connections between PERMINDEX, Operation GLADIO, & Propaganda Due (I suggest muting the video and turning the playback speed up a few notches, because I found the background music annoying and the pacing slow).

 

I should note, I went ahead and reviewed all of the data presented in this video, and it is air-tight:

I own & read everything Mr. Hancock has published, and have read Mr. Douglass' book as well (though I gave it away as a gift).

 

Their works are both brillant.

 

However, and I do not mean this as an insult, focusing on the anti-Castro Cubans as the main culprit is myopic.

 

As Kevin Costner says to Michael Rooker in Oliver Stone's 1991 epic "JFK," "...I don't doubt their involvement, but at a lower level..."

 

That's how I feel about the anti-Castro Cubans—they were involved, but they are not the ones pulling the strings.

 

And not to sound defensive, but there is no aspect of the media surrounding the JFK assassination l have not read, watched or listened to—not to mention over five-hundred thousand pages of government files concerning covert operations going all the way back to the Second World War that I have had the displeasure of reading.

 

I was taking Advanced Placement American History college preparatory courses my sophomore year of high school, and that was over seventeen years ago.

 

Not to mention my ten years of honorable service in the United States Army were I worked directly with NATO special operations teams in Afghanistan—I know how coups work—I was right in the middle of one in 2011, during the elections in Paktika Province, Southern Waziristan.

 

I also know how assassinations work, as I participated in one, as a support intelligence analyst.  

 

Once again, not to toot my own horn—but I do not draw my conclusions lightly, in case you haven't been following the threads I've been posting since I was allowed back on the forum.

    Your posts about these CIA European associates/assets are quite educational.

     I have read about some of that history in Stephen Kinzer's books about the Dulles brothers (Brothers) and Sidney Gottlieb's MK Ultra ops, (Poisoner-in-Chief) in addition to David Talbot's, The Devil's Chessboard.  As I recall, Allen Dulles protected a number of Nazis from the Nuremburg trials, and put them to work for the CIA.

     My questions for you have to do with trying to understand how Nazis like Skorzeny fit into the larger picture of Allen Dulles's international CIA black ops, including the JFK assassination (and the JMWave Cubans who, apparently, participated in that Dallas op.)

I was using the inflation calculations for the year President Kennedy was murdered—1963—not 1955, just so you know.

 

As far as Haroldson Lafayette Hunt Jr. is concerned, yes, I agree, he was involved, but once again, to quote Kevin Costner's line to Michael Rooker in Oliver Stone's 1991 epic "JFK," "...I don't doubt their involvement, but at a lower level..."

 

And if I may augment Mr. Costner's line of dialogue, H.L. Hunt was involved at a parallel level of importance to Allen Dulles.

 

Allow me to illustrate:

 

I will quote now from pgs. 78 & 79 of the great Douglas Valentine's invaluable "The Strength of the Wolf"

 

QUOTE—

 

"...Enter the intrepid General Richard Stilwell. A special military advisor to the US ambassador to Italy from 1947 to 1949, Stilwell had helped the Christian Democrats and the Mafia solidify their positions. As CIA logistics chief in Asia from 1949 to 1952, he arranged for CAT to support General Li Mi's incursion from Burma into Yunnan and thus enabled the renegade general to bring to market 'a third of the world's illicit opium supply.'

 

The plan to save Taiwan advance on 7 November 1949, when privateer William S. Pawley received permission from Secretary of State Dean Acheson to lead a group of retired military officers, headed by Admiral Charles Cooke, to Taiwan to advise the KMT on security affairs. No stranger to political intrigues or the underworld, Pawley owned sugar plantations an airline and a bus system in Cuba, and was linked to Mafia leaders who had investments there too. He was connected to the espionage Establishment as well: Bill Donovan met with Chiang Kai-shek's defense minister and secret police chief to grease the skids on Pawley's behalf, and William Bullitt in December began raising funds for the so-called Pawley-Cooke Advisory Mission—the lion's share of which was provided by a group of Texas oilmen led by right-wing fanatic H.L. Hunt, a one time professional gambler who, in his younger days, helped finance his empire by running a private racing wire.

 

Also involved in the Pawley-Cooke escapade was M. Preston Goodfellow, former publisher of the Brooklyn Eagle and Donovan's liaison, with Garland Williams, to William Keswick and the British SOE in 1942. Later in the war Goodfellow managed sensitive OSS operations in Burma and China, and formed close ties to General Tai Li and drug smuggler Du Yue-sheng. According to Korean War historian Bruce Cumings, Goodfellow made a fortune by combining business ties with 'right-wing regimes in Asia and interests in Central America.'

 

"Pawley's collusion with Cooke, Donovan, Goodfellow, Bullitt, and Hunt is a textbook example of how Establishment privateers run the secret government. And naturally the mission dovetailed with federal narcotics activities. In January 1950 Goodfellow traveled to Taipei with Cooke, and in April Bullitt's bagman arrived. Soon thereafter, a 'Colonel Williams' introduced the bagman to Satiris Fassoulis, 'who gave him $500,000 for a PR campaign on Taiwan.'

 

"Was this our Garland Williams? Probably. Williams had experience at both ends of the Iran-China connection. In 1948 and 1949 he had conducted surveys of Iranian opium production and had reported to Anslinger that Iran's most influential families had amassed a fortune through the opium trade, and that they intended to keep anti-drug laws weak. He knew that Iran shipped tons of opium to Indochina through Greece and Armenian brokers like Fassoulis. But Williams was also a security chief for the secret government, and at the same time that CIA officer Allen Dulles was meeting with KMT officials to seal the Pawley-Cooke deal, he was recalled to active duty and took command of the Army's 525th Military Intelligence Group. Among its functions, the 525th MIG prepared intelligence officers for duty in Korea, and as chief of the Group, Williams was in position to provide covert support to the Pawley-Cooke Advisory Mission, or to Satiris Fassoulis.

 

 

For his part, Fassoulis denies ever having met Williams, or that Hunt provided money, or that Pawley was involved. He denies everything. However, he had been an American pilot in China during the war, where he may have met Garland Williams, and in 1950 he was vice president of Commerce International China Inc. (CIC), a subsidiary of Donovan's World Commerce Corporation. CIC was exempt from the Foreign Agents Registration Act and supplied the Pawley-Cooke mission with everything from gas masks to airplanes. It was also accused of smuggling contraband to America..."

As you can see, Haroldson Lafayette Hunt Jr. was involved in fomenting covert wars and funding fascists dictatorships with Allen Welsh Dulles a full ten years before John F. Kennedy even accepted his's party's nomination for President!

 

Just as I said, parallel tracks with Allen W. Dulles.

 

And two of the commanders who oversaw reconstruction efforts under Chiang Kai-shek, thru the operational structure of "Ming-teh-Gruppe," the Bundesnachrichtendienst advisory command to the Commerce International China Inc. (CIC) controlled Pawley-Cooke Advisory Mission, were two Nazi war criminals named  Generalmajor Oskar Munzel & General der Panzertruppe Leo Geyr von Schweppenburg—both men were Gehlen Organization assets, and luminaries of the post-WWII "Kameradenwerk der Bruderschaft" organization of SS-Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny!

 

You read that correctly, H.L. Hunt was funding a covert action in Taiwan that involved two of Otto Skorzeny's top lieutenants in the post-war fascist underground!

 

It should also be noted that a subsidiary of World Commerce Corporation (overseen by narco-terrorist Satiris “Sonny” Galahad Fassoulis) called Commerce International China Inc. (CIC), covertly provided hundreds of tons of supplies and ammunition to the Gehlen Org-controlled "Ming-teh-Gruppe" reconstruction efforts at the same time that "Jerry" Droller, the future CIA Cuban Political Action Chief, Western Hemisphere Division and co-creator of the anti-Castro narco-terrorist army, Frente Revolucionario Democrático, was an advisor to the Taiwan-based fascist government.

 

So that means that H.L. Hunt was funding a covert action in Taiwan that involved the future commander of all anti-Castro émigré governments in exile!

 

Like I said, H.L. Hunt was involved at a parallel level of importance to Allen Dulles when it came to murdering President Kennedy.
