6 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 and Peggy Seagrave, Verso, 2005, pp 96-99, the Seagraves explain the origins of the fund and how Secretary of War proposed the trust to Roosevelt.
7 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.
1. 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
2. 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. intelligence agencies and the Council on Foreign Relations, and run out of 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
3. 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, May 26, 2005, 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.
9 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, 22nd through 25th [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/>)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
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 Disaster, Analysis of Published Accounts of the World Trade Center Evacuation (Draft), Rita F. Fahy, National Fire Protection Association, Guylène Proulx, National 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. With Empire Health reporting the loss of 9 employees and 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 Locked Stairwells/Evacuation Problems, Accumulating Comments on…. (c) 2001, Mike Barkley]
2. There is eye-witness testimony that the 22nd through 25th 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/>)http://www.huemer.com/ [Inside the North Tower: Witness Accounts, Floors 59-02,http://911stories.googlepages.com/insidethenorthtower:witnessaccounts,floo2]

* 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
* 25th floor ripped open “When we finally got to the door at the 24th, two women were holding the door open and screaming as they looked down the hall. Morbid curiosity got the best of me. I peeked my head through the door and saw that _ceiling had caved in from the above floors. _[It looked like a tornado had come through the place.” [](<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PASCDiscuss/message/7>)[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PASCDiscuss/message/7,"From: ](<mailto:j_montev@yahoo.com>)j_montev@yahoo.com, "Date: Mon Sep 17, 2001 5:25 pm , "Subject: Personal Account]
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 near the moment of the first plane 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 22nd 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 22nd 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
[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, ](<http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=18745>)http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=18745, Nov 2 2007,]

11 “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. It smashed 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, on the first floor of the D-Ring, on the Pentagon's west side. One hundred twenty-five Pentagon workers were killed that day. Forty- two died in the Navy Command Center. Seven served in the Intelligence Plot.” [The Last Watch, Richard Leiby, Washington Post, 1/20/2002]
12 “In fact, it appears that such bogus gold certificates are being used in some interesting ways by certain Wall
Street and Washington types to artificially prop up the U.S. economy to cover up the fraudulent numbers…. I now have in my possession evidence, and sent it out overnight to 10 other secure sources to protect the information, that a 10-year Brady Bond deal was being worked on and closed toward in the end of 1991, or was to have matured and been due somewhere on or after September 11, 2001.… Part of the story can be found by looking into Securities and Exchange Commission v. John D'Aquisto Securities. The name of John D'Aquisto (convicted) also appears numerous times as do Merkav International and Marion Aiken (convicted), First Guilford Financial Limited, London, but domiciled in Isle of Man … along with three of its officers Steve Billand, Charles A.M. Duncan, Jeff Muller, and others related to other companies in Russia, Australia, Ireland, the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Ontario, all patterns to look for in picking up the trails of such scams. It is the "multi-jurisdiction" facet that makes these deals hard to detect, track and litigate for fraud. It is by design and intent so they can perpetrate fraud and get away with it. One of the D'Aquisto documents was from a "Bay State Trust" based in Zurich, dated 10 September 1991, and just more of a trail that needs to be fully investigated due to the contents of that letter.” Part 4: More reasons to not investigate 9-11, Karl W.

[Associated Press, 9/11/2001; Independent, 9/13/2001] At some point, the power goes out in the building. They then start walking down the stairs to get out. According to Hess, when the two men get down to the eighth floor, “there was an explosion and we’ve been trapped on the eighth floor with smoke, thick smoke, all around us, for about an hour and a half.” [UPN 9, 9/11/2001] Jennings similarly describes, “We made it to the eighth floor. Big explosion. Blew us back into the eighth floor, and I turned to Hess. I said, ‘This is it; we’re dead. We’re not gonna make it out of here.’” [Penn State Public Broadcasting, 3/1/2002] The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) claims the two men head down the stairs after 9:59, when the first collapse occurs, and then become trapped around the time the second tower collapses, at 10:28. [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 109-110 ] But according to the London Independent, they start heading down the stairs after the second attack at 9:03, which suggests the explosion occurs earlier on.

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.

32 Oliver North would reference the use of Marcos Gold for illegal, covert operations. “In 1985, [Oliver North] attempted to sell 44 tons of Marcos bullion, worth $465 million, on the black market. He blithely suggested skimming $5 million to finance the Nicaraguan contra war, but the deal fell through when North, true to form, stiffed the Israeli middlemen on the Marcos payroll. Tapes and documents implicating American officials in the gold transfers were withheld from the Iran-contra committee by Major General Colin Powell, Defense Secretary
Caspar Weinberger and William Odom, director of the NSA. "It wasn't so much the mention of gold that concerned them," say Thompson and Kanigher. "It was Marcos talking (on tape) about contributions to U.S. presidential campaigns and the use of the gold proceeds to fund illegal arms deals."

33 It is the contention of this report that these funds, identified through time by various operatives, are one and the same in origin.
34 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. has no right to the funds under international law. If an 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.

36 An argument can be made for the reported explosions in the basement that they were set to destroy the vault shared by all the financial organizations in the WTC, thus destroying certificates required to settle the loans.. “The difficulty with lost certificates was dramatically demonstrated during the September 11,2001, tragedy when thousand of certificates were destroyed in vaults maintained by broker-dealers.” From the Federal

87 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: Houghton-Mifflin, 1988 . 21-2; 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 he voted for him instead of Bush.”

118 This possibility is mentioned in that the dates on the bank transactions in the files made public by ONI show
three phases of activity. The earliest set of dates seem to correlate with the resolution of the third world debt issue, which was conducted in an extremely secretive manner. Without any public documentation on Bush’s role in this effort, it can only be viewed as a possible ‘augmentation,’ and theoretical at best.

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 bribery and money 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 learned that in the 1940’s that the 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>)<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 court for money laundering and bribery, Judge Shira A. Scheindlin dismissed most of the 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 San Diego based September 11 terrorists. Her ruling prevented the FBI from collecting information on the two terrorists. 5) Kozeny was initially funded by loans from Alpha Bank, which is represented in the US by ex- Bush administrators Lanny Griffith and Ed Rogers of Barbour, Griffith and Rogers [Seller of Privatization Securities Is Indicted in the U.S., Gretchen Morgenson, New York Times, October 3, 2003]. Kozeny used his 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.
