On March 12, 1947, the Truman Doctrine
was announced as America’s new foreign policy. On June 5, 1947, the
Marshall Plan was announced. Both “doctrines” had originated in foundation
studies subsidized by the CIA and were to be implemented under close CIA
supervision.The “new” CIA continues its close ties
with the Schroder Bank and other linchpins of international intelligence.
Allen Dulles, a director of J. Henry Schroder, and lawyer for the bank as
attorney with Sullivan and Cromwell, chose Schroder to handle the vast
disbursements of the CIA’s “discretionary fund”, whose financial dealings
remain cloaked in secrecy. Secretary of War Robert Patterson was a director
of Schroder, as was Harold Brown, Carter’s Secretary of Defense. Paul H.
Nitze, our chief arms negotiator, not only was a director of Schroder, but
married into the Pratt family of Standard Oil who donated their New York
mansion as the headquarters of the CFR.
John McCone, later director of the CIA, was partner of
Bechtel-McCone, giant war contractor financed by Schroder-Rockefeller Co.
Richard Helms also a director of CIA, is a consultant with Bechtel.
Although from a family of modest means, Helms was educated at the world’s
most exclusive prep school, Le Rosey of Switzerland, where he became a
friend of the Shah of Iran. The Schroder-CIA connection was revealed in a
lawsuit in which documents were filed showing a payment of $38,902 to Edwin
Moore, on orders from Richard Helms.
Gordon Richardson was chairman of Schroder from 1963 to
1973, when he was named Governor of the Bank of England, where he served for
ten years. Richardson, also a director of Lloyd’s Bank and Rolls Royce,
maintained a New York address on Sutton Place near Donovan’s residence.
The Cabot family of Boston, descended from Sebastian
Cabot, who was an early member of the World Order, has maintained a close
relationship with the CIA. The founder of the family, Giovanni Caboto of
Genoa, became John Cabot when he moved to England in 1448 under Henry 7th.
His son Sebastian accompanied him on his North American trip in 1497.
Sebastian had been born in Venice in 1476; he moved to England in 1551, was
granted a pension and founded the London Muscovy Company which developed
overland routes across Europe to Russia. Thomas D. Cabot, honorary chairman
of Cabot Corp. was director of Office of Inter-American affairs for the
State Dept. 1951, president of United Fruit, and set up Radio Swan on Swan
Island for the CIA; he went on a special mission to Egypt in 1953. His
brother John was in the foreign service from 1926, served as Consul Gen.
Shanghi, ambassador to Pakistan, Finland and Colombia, Brazil and Poland;
he was U.S. delegate to Dumbarton Oaks in 1994, and was secretary to the
United Nations organization in San Francisco in 1945 under Alger Hiss. Paul
Cabot is director of J.P. Morgan Co., Ford, Continental Can, Goodrich, and
M.A. Hanna Co. Lord Harold Caccia is also a director of Cabot Corp. He
served on the Allied Control Commission in Italy 1943-94 as political
advisor, Ambassador to Austria 1951-54, Ambassador to U.S. 1956-61; he is
also on the board of Orion Bank, National Westminster Bank and Prudential
Assurance. He is chmn of Standard Telephone & Cable.
An earlier member of the Cabot family, George Cabot
(1752-1823) owned 40 privateers and letters of marque in 1777-78, and became
the first Secretary of the Navy.
High level CIA plicy was regularly determined at secret
meetings at Pratt House, CFR headquarters in N.Y., as revealed by Vic
Marchetti, in “Cult of Intelligence”, he describes a top level meeting at
Pratt House Jan. 8, 1965 at 5 pm, chaired by C. Douglas Dillon, chmn of
Dillon, Read. The main speaker was Richard Bissell, director of CIA
clendestine operations. This was the third meeting at this address.
William J. Barnds was secretary; his father was Episcopalian Bishop of the
Dallas Division. Present were Frank Altschul, partner of Lazard Freres, who
married into the Lehman Family. Altschul was chmn National Planning Assn,
director of Ford Foundation, China Institute in America, American Institute

CIA financial operations continually surface and are
quickly forgotten. Jack Anderson noted in a column July 30,1984 that two
OSS pals in World War II, Joe Rosenbaum, a venture capitalist, and William
J. Casey, present head of the CIA had been involved in a huge Mid East
pipeline deal with former Secretary of the Navy William J. Middendorf, now
U.S. Ambassador to the Organization of American States. Middendorf is a
director of First American Bank of VA. which handles many financial dealings
for the CIA. Directors of First American are Eugene R. Casey, Lt. Gen.
Elwood Quesada, who married into the Pulitzer family, asst chief of air on
the General Staff, now director of the munitions firm Olin Industries;
Stuart Symington, who married into the Wadsworth family, was formerly
Secretary of the Air Force and Senator from Missouri, chairman of Emerson
Electric, a defense contractor; Lt. Gen James M. Gavin, director Guggenheim
Foundation, chairman of Arthur D. Little Co., (said to be a branch of CIA
operations).
In “Spooks” Jim Hugan exposes another firm with CIA ties,
Quantum Corp., based at Rockefeller owned L’enfant Plaza in Washington which
sold arms to both sides in the Arab-Israeli conflict; chairman was Rosser
Scott Reeves III, heir to an ad fortune; his father sold Eisenhower like
soap with a series of brilliant TV ads. Reeves III married into the Squibb
family, was with Lazard Freres from 1962-7, and Military Armaments Corp.
1972-4. III’s father was a limited partner of Oppenheimer Co. Other members
of Quantum were Mitch Werbell III, a CIA operative who had the rank of
General, U.S. Army; Edmund Lynch; Stewart Mott; Lou Conein, A Union Corse
operative known throughout Southeast Asia as Black Luigi; Walter
Pforzheimer, former aide to Allen Dulles; he kept two apartments at
Washington’s most expensive address Watergate; one was filled with his
documentation on intelligence activities; he was found murdered at
Watergate; and Paul Rothermeil, liaison between CIA and FBI who ws sent on
a special mission to H.L. Hunt’s headquarters in Dallas to destroy the Hunt
Oil Co. After millions of dollars vanished, and the Hunt Oil Co. was on the
verge of bankruptcy, the Hunts sued him, but were unable to prosecute
because of “national security”.
The sinking of the USS Liberty, a government intelligence
ship, by the Israelis in the 1967 war exposed the close collaboration
between the CIA and Mossad, Israeli Military Intelligence. The CIA
representative at the U.S. Embassy, Tel Aviv, reported to the senior office
CIA at McLean VA. June 7, 1967 that Israel had decided to sink the U.S.S.
Liberty. The CIA refused to warn the doomed American sailors. With
President Johnson in the White House at the time were Mathilde and Arthur
Krim, Johnson’s liaison with the Israeli Govt. Mathilde was a former Irgun
terrorist who had served on terrorist strikes with Menachem Begin, who
boasted he had introduced terrorism to the entire world.
Andrew Tull, in “The Super Spies”, reveals another CIA
coverup. The entire operational plan for the Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia in July 1968 was obtained by a German operative in May; he
delivered the plans to Lt. Gen. Jos. F. Carroll, dir. Defense Intelligence
Agency in Berlin. Carroll outlined a plan to “leak” this intelligence,
which would force the Soviet Union to abandon the operation. Ambassador to
West Germany Henry Cabot Lodge was briefed on the “leak”, but received
direct orders from Washington to cancel it from Secretary of Defense Clark
Clifford. The World Order did not wish to interfere with the planned
invasion. The Soviet Union was aware of the discovery, and postponed the
invasion from July to August 21. During this period, they were assured by
Washington officials that the U.S. would not interfere. With this top level
go-ahead, the Red army’s conquest of Czechoslovakia was successfully
implemented.
We have mentioned the CIA-Mossad connection of James
Angleton. The State of Israel was largely created by a Hungarian Jew named
Tibor Rosenbaum, who procured arms and money through his Swiss base for both
the Haganah and Stern gangs of terrorists, through his control of the
International Credit Bank in Switzerland. International Credit Bank was the
foreign bank for Meyer Lansky’s Mafia operations, and also handled Mossad’s
European funds for secret operations. Rosenbaum was the mastermind of
Bernie Cornfield’s operation. Cornfield’s successor at IOS, Robert Vesco,
later fled to Central America with $224 million of IOS fund, and is now the
partner of Fidel Castro in a huge drug operation which netted $20 billion
profit between 1980-84. Castro’s cut, $50 million, has been deposited in
Swiss banks.
In 1965, the CIA correspondent in Africa was Michael King,
partners with Dr. Joseph Ghurba in Consultants Rersearch Associates, 509
Fifth Ave. N.Y. He is now Meir Kahane, member of the Israel Knesset and
head of the terrorist Jewish Defense League. Part of their CIA duties was
to mobilize campus riots against the Vietnam War at Columbia and Adelphi
College. King’s girl friend, Donna Evans, fell or was thrown from the
Queensborough Bridge in July, 1966.
Another important CIA figure was Robert Maheu, who was
Liaison between the CIA and J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI. Maheu later became
head of Howard Hughes “Las Vegas operations. His code name in the CIA was
“Stockholder”.
In “OSS, the Secret History”, R. Harris Smith states that
Ho Chi Minh had made contact with OSS Col. Paul Helliwell at Kunming in
World War II and was recruited as an agent. Ho’s reports soon received top
priority at OSS Headquarters in Washington, and were placed directly on Gen.
Donovan’s desk. Helliwell, who later became consul for the Thai government
in Miami, and Major Austin Glass, a Socony Oil official, sent arms to Ho for
his revolutionary struggle. Another early Ho supporter from OSS was Lt.
Tibaut de Saint Phalle, nephew of a prominent Paris banker.
Journalist Robert Shaplen was later told that an official
of Chase Manhattan Bank was parachuted into Ho’s remote headquarters, where
he found the guerilla leader dying of malaria and dysentery. With only a
few hours to live, he was saved when an OSS medic Paul Hoagland, was flown
in. He saved Ho’s life by administering the new sulfa drugs and quinine.
He later served at CIA headquarters until the 1970’s, where he was always
known as “the man who saved Ho’s life”. After Ho was out of danger, a
special OSS contingent, the Deer Team, was sent to Ho’s headquarters in Nov.
1945. The members of this team were unanimous in their denunciation of the
French “imperialists”, the colonial government. They boasted that it had
been decided at the highest levels in Washington that the French had to go.
A prominent member of this team was Capt. Nicholas Deak, a Hungarian, now
president of Deak Pereira. He has controlling interests in Swiss and
Austrian banks, and operates currency exchanges in the U.S. Canada and the
Far East.
The French were dismayed to learn that their “American
allies” were training and arming Ho’s Viet Minh forces. Ho was informed
that General Donovan represented large economic interests (the World
Commerce Corp.) which planned to rebuild Vietnam’s railroads and highways,
in exchange for “economic privileges” in Indochina. In Oct. 1945, the OSS
sponsored the “Vietnam Friendship Association” headed by OSS Lt. Col.
Carleton H. Swift. The OSS armed Ho Chi Minh’s forces with the latest
weapons, and gave intensive training in infiltration and demolition to 200
selected men of General Giap’s Army. It was these men who later led the
attacks against American troops in the Vietnam War. The OSS sponsorship of
the Viet Min and other terrorist groups around the world led Robert Welch to
charge that “The OSS has thrown the weight of American supplies, arms, money
and prestige behind the Communist terrorist organizations of Europe and
Asia.” The Deer team claimed that Ho was a great statesman whose
nationalism transcended his Communist loyalties.
