The Bush Family's Project Hammer
- by Deanna Spingola, 8 Feb. 2010
Hammering the USSR's Economy

In 1989 President George H. W. Bush began the multi-billion dollar Project Hammer
program using an investment strategy to bring about the economic destruction of the
Soviet Union including the theft of the Soviet treasury, the destabilization of the
ruble, funding a KGB coup against Gorbachev in August 1991 and the seizure of
major energy and munitions industries in the Soviet Union. Those resources would
subsequently be turned over to international bankers and corporations. On November
1, 2001, the second operative in the Bush regime, President George W. Bush, issued
Executive Order 13233 on the basis of “national security” and concealed the records
of past presidents, especially his father’s spurious activities during 1990 and 1991.
Consequently, those records are no longer accessible to the public.1 The Russian
coup plot was discussed in June 1991 when Yeltsin visited with Bush in conjunction
with his visit to the United States. On that same visit, Yeltsin met discreetly with
Gerald Corrigan, the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve.2

Because of numerous Presidential Executive Orders, the ethically questionable Project
Hammer was deemed legal. Of course, even Hitler’s acts were “lawful,” as he had
manipulated the laws to accommodate his actions. Many of Reagan’s executive
orders were actually authored by Vice President Bush or his legal associates, and it is
possible that Project Hammer was created by Reagan’s CIA Director, William Casey,
who had directed OSS operations through Alan Dulles in Europe during World War
II. Prior to his OSS affiliation, Casey worked for the Board of Economic Warfare which
allegedly targeted “Hitler’s economic jugular.”3 Allen Dulles, brother of John Foster
Dulles, was the Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961. He was a senior partner at the
Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Rockefeller Empire
and other mammoth trusts, corporations and cartels.

Project Hammer was staffed with CIA operatives and others associated with the
National Security apparatus. Covert channels were already in place as a result of
other illegal Bush activities. Thus, it was a given (1) that the project would use secret,
illegal funds for unapproved covert operations, and (2) that the American public and
Congress would not be informed about the illegal actions perpetrated in foreign
countries. The first objective was allegedly to crush Communism, a growing political
philosophy and social movement that was initially funded by the usual group of
international bankers who now supported their demise. To this end, the “Vulcans,”
under George H. W. Bush, waged war against the Soviet Union.4
The Return of the Vulcans

In their reincarnation in the administration of George W. Bush, the Vulcans
functioned as a supposedly benign group, led by Council of Foreign Relations (CFR)
member Condoleezza Rice, who attempted to augment and compensate for the
Bush's lack of experience and education concerning foreign policy during his
presidential campaign. Rice had been President George H. W. Bush’s Soviet and East
European Affairs Advisor in the National Security Council during the Soviet Union’s
dissolution and during the German reunification (July 1, 1990). The resurrected
Vulcan group included Richard Armitage, Robert Blackwill, Stephen Hadley, Richard
Perle, Rabbi Dov S. Zakheim, Robert Zoellick and Paul Wolfowitz. Other key campaign
figures included Dick Cheney, George P. Shultz and Colin Powell, all influential but
not actually a part of the Vulcan Group. All of these people, associated with the
George H. W. Bush administration, returned to powerful, strategic positions in
George W. Bush’s administration.

Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz have been accused of being agents for the Israeli
government. Investigations by Congress and the FBI have substantiated those
allegations. Zakheim and his family were heavily involved in Yeshivat Sha’alvim, an
educational organization in which students are taught to render absolute
commitment to the State of Israel.5

Many of these individuals were also members of the Project for a New American
Century (PNAC) which was established in the spring of 1997 with the intention of
promoting American Global leadership at any cost. The chairman and co-founder was
William Kristol, son of Irving Kristol (CFR), considered the godfather of neo-
conservatism which promotes the ideas of Max Shachtman and Leo Strauss, a noted
Zionist and professor of political science at the University of Chicago. Kristol’s co-
founder was Robert W. Kagan (CFR). Kristol is also the editor and co-founder, along
with John Podhoretz, of the Weekly Standard Magazine, established September 17,
1995 and owned by Rupert Murdoch until August 2009. This “conservative” magazine
is edited by William Kristol and Fred Barnes and promotes Middle East warfare and a
huge military budget, a mentality that infects the most popular “conservative” talk
show radio hosts. Kristol is a trustee for the Manhattan Institute which was founded
by CIA Director William Casey and was staffed with former CIA officers.

The Vulcans had almost limitless financing from a cache known by several names –
the Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure,
or the Durham Trust. Japan, under Emperor Hirohito, appointed a brother, Prince
Chichibu, to head Golden Lily, established in November 1937 before Japan’s infamous
Rape of Nanking, to accompany and follow the military. The Golden Lily operation
carried out massive plunder throughout Asia and included an army of jewelers,
financial experts and smelters.6 While the Nazis also engaged in plundering the
countries they invaded, they were not as organized and methodical as the Japanese.
After the Allied blockade, Golden Lily headquarters were moved from Singapore to
Manila where 175 storage sites were built by slave laborers and POWs. Billions of
dollars worth of gold and other plundered treasures were stockpiled in these
underground caverns, some of which were discovered by the notorious Cold Warrior,
Edward G. Lansdale who directed the recovery of some of the vaults. Truman and
subsequent presidents, without congressional knowledge, have used those resources
to finance the CIA’s chaotic clandestine activities throughout the world. Much of the
Middle East chaos is financed by those pillaged funds. A tiny portion of that treasure
was the source of Ferdinand Marcos’ vast wealth. Marcos worked with the CIA for
decades using Golden Lily funds to bribe nations to support the Vietnam War. In
return, Marcos was allowed to sell over $1 trillion in gold through Australian brokers.7

In July 1944, the leaders of forty-four nations met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire
to plan the post-war economy and to discuss organizing a global political action fund
which would use the Black Eagle Trust ostensibly to fight communism, bribe political
leaders, enhance the treasuries of U.S. allies, and manipulate elections in foreign
countries and other unconstitutional covert operations. Certainly, those politicos who
managed the funds also received financial benefits. This trust was headed by
Secretary of War Henry Stimson, assisted by John J. McCloy (later head of the World
Bank) and Robert Lovett (later Secretary of Defense) and consultant Robert B.
Anderson (later Secretary of the Treasury).8 Anderson later operated the Commercial
Exchange Bank of Anguilla in the British West Indies and was convicted of running
illegal offshore banking operations and tax evasion. Investors lost about $4.4 million.
Consequently, he was sent to prison for a token amount of time, one month. He was
also under house arrest for five years. He could have received a ten-year sentence
but Judge Palmieri considered Anderson’s “distinguished service” to the country in
the “top levels of Government.”9

Between 1945 and 1947 huge quantities of gold and platinum were deposited in
prominent banks throughout the world. These deposits came to be known as the
Black Eagle Trust. Swiss banks, because of their neutrality, were pivotal in
maintaining these funds. These funds were allocated to fighting communism and
paying bribes and fixing elections in places like Italy, Greece, and Japan.10 Stimson
and McCloy, both retired from government service, continued their involvement in
the management of the Black Eagle Trust. Robert B. Anderson, who toured the
treasure sites with Douglas MacArthur, set up the Black Eagle Trust and later became
a member of Eisenhower’s cabinet.11 In order to maintain secrecy about the Trust,
Washington officials insisted that the Japanese did not plunder the countries they
invaded. Japanese officials who wanted to divulge the facts were imprisoned or
murdered in a way that made it look like suicide, a common CIA tactic.12 The
Germans paid reparations to thousands of victims while the Japanese paid next to
nothing. Military leaders who opposed foreign policies that embraced exploitation of
third world countries were suicided or died from mysterious causes, which includes
individuals such as George S. Patton, Smedley D. Butler and James V. Forrestal.

The Vulcan’s effort to crush Communism and end the Cold War was largely funded
by that Japanese plunder. The Vulcans were resurrected when George W. Bush was
installed as president in 2000, facilitated by election maneuvers, probably lots of
payoffs, and Jeb Bush’s purge of Florida voters. They conducted other illegal
operations, like securities fraud and money laundering. This entailed murder and
false imprisonment to prevent penitent participants from divulging the activities of the
group. During the process of accomplishing the main objective of destroying the
Soviet Union, the operatives made massive profits. In September 1991, George H. W.
Bush and Alan Greenspan, both Pilgrims Society members, financed $240 billion in
illegal bonds to economically decimate the Soviet Union and bring Soviet oil and gas
resources under the control of Western investors, backed by the Black Eagle Trust
and supported later by Putin who for the right price purged certain oligarchs. The
$240 billion in illegal bonds were apparently replaced with Treasury notes backed by
U.S. taxpayers.13 To conceal the clearance of $240 billion in securities, the Federal
Reserve, within two months, increased the money supply to pre-9/11 numbers which
resulted in the American taxpayer refinancing the $240 billion.14
The Takeover of Russia’s Oil Industry

BP Amoco became the largest foreign direct investor in Russia in 1997 when it paid a
half-billion dollars to buy a 10 percent stake in the Russian oil conglomerate Sidanko.
Then in 1999, Tyumen Oil bought Sidanko’s prize unit, Chernogorneft which allegedly
made BP Amoco’s investment worthless. Tyumen offered to cooperate with BP Amoco
on the development of Chernogorneft but BP Amoco was not interested.15 In
October 1998, Halliburton Energy Services had entered into an agreement with
Moscow-based Tyumen Oil Company (TNK). Their efforts were focused on the four
western Siberia fields, the first one being the Samotlorskoye field.16 TNK has proven
oil reserves of 4.3 billion barrels and possibly as many as 6.1 billion barrels, with
crude oil production and refining capabilities of 420,000 barrels/day and 230,000
barrels/day, respectively. TNK markets gasoline through 400 retail outlets.17 In 2002
Halliburton and Sibneft, Russia’s fifth largest crude oil producer, signed an
agreement. Sibneft will use Halliburton’s new technologies to improve well
construction and processing while Halliburton directs all project management.18

Tyumenskaya Neftyanaya Kompaniya (Tyumen Oil Company) was established in 1995
by government decree. It is now TNK-BP, the leading Russian oil company and ranks
among the top ten privately owned oil companies worldwide in terms of crude oil
production. The company, formed in 2003, resulted from the merger of BP’s Russian
oil and gas assets and the oil and gas assets of Alfa, Access/Renova group (AAR). BP
and AAR each own fifty percent of TNK-BP. The shareholders of TNK-BP own almost
fifty percent of Slavneft, a vertically integrated Russian oil company.19 This
transaction was the biggest in Russian corporate history and was managed by
Vladimir Lechtman, the Moscow partner for Jones Day, a global law firm with thirty
offices and 2,200 lawyers worldwide. TNK-BP, Russia’s second-largest oil company
employs almost 100,000 people and operates in Samotlor.20

Putin was financially rewarded by the collaborators and was happy to purge some
annoying industrialists who stood in the way. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was the manager
of Yukos, the company that he built into Russia’s second-largest oil company after
acquiring it for $168 million when his Bank MENATEP, the first privately owned but
notoriously corrupt bank since 1917 and wiped out in August 1998, purchased it
through a controversial government privatization auction in 1995. MENATEP was
named as a defendant in the Avisma lawsuit which was filed on August 19, 1999.21
The bank may have facilitated the large-scale theft of Soviet Treasury funds before
and following the USSR’s collapse in 1991.22 His company had borrowed hundreds of
millions of dollars from western banks.23 He was arrested on October 25, 2003 and
sentenced in June 2005 to eight years on fraud and tax evasion charges. He was
allegedly targeted as a political enemy by President Vladimir Putin who went after
other big business owners who apparently made money by acquiring states assets.
Yukos was sold piecemeal to pay off $28 billion in back tax charges. Yukos was seized
and given to Rosneft.24

When Khodorkovsky was arrested, his secretive business arrangement with the
Rothschild family was exposed as Jacob Rothschild assumed Khodorkovsky’s 26%
control of Yukos while Khodorkovsky’s directorial seat on the Yukos board went to
Edgar Ortiz, a former Halliburton vice president during Dick Cheney’s reign as CEO at
Halliburton. Cheney, as President and CEO of Halliburton, automatically had an
association with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR).25 In
November 1997, Dick Chaney, in anticipation of imminent events, had appointed
Edgar Ortiz as president of Halliburton Energy Services, their global division.26

The Yukos Oil Company merged with the smaller Sibneft Oil Company on October 3,
2003 which created Russia’s largest oil and gas business and the world’s forth-largest
private oil company.27 On May 11, 2007 Halliburton announced they had made an
agreement with the Tyumen State Oil and Gas University to open a new employee-
training center in Russia to grow their business in that country and in the
surrounding region. They are currently training students from five countries,
Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia and the United Kingdom.28 Halliburton
was awarded a $33 million contract by TNK-BP to provide oil field services to develop
the Ust-Vakh field in Western Siberia.29
September 11 – Black Op Cover-up

Three top securities brokers had offices in the World Trade Center, Cantor Fitzgerald,
Euro Brokers and Garbon Inter Capital. Flight 11 struck just under the floors where
Cantor Fitzgerald was located. Cantor Fitzgerald, with possible connections to the U.S.
Intelligence apparatus, was America’s biggest securities broker and apparently the
main target. Within minutes, an explosion in the North Tower’s vacant 23rd floor,
right under the offices of the FBI and Garbon Inter Capital on the 25th floor caused a
huge fire from the 22nd through the 25th floors. At the same time, there was an
explosion in the basement of the North Tower.30 A vault in the North Tower
basement held less than $1 billion in gold, much of which was reportedly moved
before 9/11. However, the government had hundreds of billions of dollars of
securities which were summarily destroyed. The Federal Reserve, untouched by the
crisis at its downtown offices (as they had everything backed up to a remote
location), assumed emergency powers that afternoon. The $240 billion in securities
were electronically cleared.31 Then, at 9:03, Flight 175 slammed into the 78th floor of
the South Tower just below the 84th floor where Euro Brokers were located.32 Brian
Clark, the manager at Euro Brokers, heard numerous explosions, apparently
unrelated to what he referred to as the oxygen-starved fire caused by the plane
crash.

The September 11 attacks related to the financial improprieties during the preceding
ten years which spurred at least nine federal investigations which were initiated in
1997-1998, about the same time that Osama bin Laden, after twenty years as a CIA
asset, announced a fatwa against the U.S. The records of many of those
investigations were held in the Buildings Six and Seven and on the 23rd floor of the
North Tower. Those investigations were sure to reveal the black Eagle Trust
shenanigans.33 Building Seven, not hit by a plane, collapsed at 5:20:33 p.m. but was
vacated as early as 9:00 when evacuees claimed to see dead bodies and sporadic
fires within the building.

By 2008 and even earlier the covert securities were worth trillions. The securities used
to decimate the Soviets and end the Cold War were stored in certain broker’s vaults
in the World Trade Center where they were destroyed on September 11, 2001. They
would have come due for settlement and clearing on September 12, 2001.34 The
federal agency investigating these bonds, the Office of Naval Intelligence was in the
section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on September 11. Renovations at the
Pentagon were due to be completed on September 16, 2001. However, the Office of
Naval Intelligence (ONI), the entity that often monitors war games, was hurriedly
moved. If they were monitoring the simultaneous war games that morning, they
would have realized that the games were used as a distraction from the actual
assault. Whatever hit the pentagon struck the Navy Command Center and the offices
of the Chief of Naval Operations Intelligence Plot (CNO-IP).35 There were 125
fatalities in the Pentagon; thirty-one percent of them were people who worked in the
Naval Command Center, the location of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Thirty-nine of
the forty people who worked in the Office of Naval Intelligence died.36

On September 10, 2001 Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon couldn’t account for
$2.3 trillion, “We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems
are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in
transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because
it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or
incompatible.”37 It was forgotten the following morning. Accountants, bookkeepers
and budget analysts who were in the section of the Pentagon being renovated met
their unexpected deaths. The destruction of accounting facts and figures will prevent
discovery of where that money went. I am quite certain someone knows where it is.
Certainly this is not merely gross incompetence but private seizure of public funds.38
At the time Rabbi Dov Zakheim was chief-financial officer for the Department of
Defense.39 In 1993, Zakheim worked for SPS International, part of System Planning
Corporation, a defense contractor. His firm’s subsidiary, Tridata Corporation directed
the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.40

Certain National Security officials who had participated in the Cold War victory in 1991
thus comprised the collateral damage of the Cold War. They, along with hundreds of
innocent people were in the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. Their
deaths were presumably required to conceal the existence of the Black Eagle Trust,
along with the numerous illegal activities it had funded for over 50 years. This
massive destruction, and the lost lives, constitutes a massive cover-up and continued
lawlessness by the brotherhood of death, Skull and Bones, and their accomplices, the
Enterprise.41 The Enterprise was established in the 1980s as a covert fascist Cold
Warriors faction working with other groups like Halliburton’s private security forces
and the Moonies. Citibank is connected to the Enterprise, along with all the CIA front
banks, Nugen Hand and BCCI.
Double Dipping

Alvin B. “Buzzy” Krongard was elected Chief Executive Officer of Alexander Brown
and Sons in 1991 and Chairman of the Board in 1994. Bankers Trust purchased
Alexander Brown and Sons in 1997 to form BT Alex Brown. Krongard relinquished his
investments in Alex Brown to Banker’s Trust as part of the merger. He became Vice
Chairman of Banker’s Trust where he personally interacted with wealthy clients who
were intimately linked to drug money laundering. After a year of possible networking,
Krongard joined (or as Michael Ruppert suggests, rejoined) the CIA in 1998 where his
friend, Director George Tenet, concentrated his skills on private banking ventures
within the elite moneyed community. Senate investigations verify that private banking
firms frequently engage in money laundering from illicit drugs and corporate crime
operations.42 On January 28, 2000 the Reginald Howe and GATA Lawsuit was filed
which accused certain U.S. bullion banks of illegally dumping U.S. Treasury gold on
the market. The lawsuit named Deutsche bank Alex Brown, the U.S. Treasury, Alan
Greenspan, the Federal Reserve, and Citibank, Chase, as defendants. Gerald
Corrigan was accused of having private knowledge of the scheme.43 Krongard
became the Executive Director of the CIA, essentially the Chief Operating Officer, and
the number three man on March 16, 2001. Krongard, while at the CIA, arranged for
Blackwater’s Erik Prince to get his first contract with the U.S. government, and later
joined its board.

Richard Wagner, a data retrieval expert, estimated that more than $100 million in
illegal transactions appeared to have rushed through the WTC computers before and
during the disaster on September 11, 2001. A Deutsche Bank employee verified that
approximately five minutes before the first plane hit the tower that the Deutsche
Bank computer system in their WTC office was seized by an outside, unknown entity.
Every single file was swiftly uploaded to an unidentified locality. This employee
escaped from the building, but lost many of his friends. He knew, from his position in
the company, that Alex Brown, the Deutsche Bank subsidiary participated in insider
trading. Senator Carl Levin claimed that Alex Brown was just one of twenty prominent
U.S. banks associated with money laundering.44

Andreas von Bülow, a Social Democratic Party member of the German parliament
(1969-1994), was on the parliamentary committee on intelligence services, a group
that has access to classified information. Von Bülow was also a member of the
Schalck-Golodkowski investigation committee which investigates white-collar crime.
He has estimated that inside trader profits surrounding 9/11 totaled approximately
$15 billion. Von Bülow told The Daily Telegraph “If what I say is right, the whole US
government should end up behind bars.” Further, he said, “They have hidden
behind a veil of secrecy and destroyed the evidence
they invented the story of 19
Muslims working within Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda in order to hide the truth of their
own covert operation.” He also said, “I’m convinced that the US apparatus must have
played a role and my theory is backed up by the [Washington] government’s refusal
to present any proof whatsoever of what happened.”45

On September 26, CBS reported that the amount was more than $100 million and
that seven countries were investigating the irregular trades. Two newspapers,
Reuters and the New York Times, and other mainstream media reported that the CIA
regularly monitors extraordinary trades and economic irregularities to ascertain
possible criminal activities or financial assaults. In fact, the CIA uses specialized
software, PROMIS, to scrutinize trades.46

Numerous researchers believe, with justification, that the transactions in the financial
markets are indicative of foreknowledge of the events of 9/11, the attacks on the twin
towers and the pentagon. One of the trades, for $2.5 million, a pittance compared to
the total, went unclaimed. Alex Brown, once managed by Krongard, was the firm
that placed the put options on United Airlines stock. President Bush awarded
Krongard by appointing him as CIA Executive Director in 2004.47

Between September 6 and 7, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange received
purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines and only 396 call options. If 4,000
of those options were purchased by people with foreknowledge, they would have
accrued about $5 million. On September 10, the Chicago exchange received 4,516
put options on American Airlines compared to 748 calls. The implications are that
some insiders might profit by about $4 million. These two incidents were wholly
irregular and at least six times higher than normal.48

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Company, who occupied floors 43-46, 56, 59-74 of the
World Trade Center, Tower 2, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the
three trading days before Black Tuesday. This compares to an average of 27
contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley’s share price fell from $48.90
to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options
contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their
purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million. The U.S. government never
again mentioned the trade irregularities after October 12, 2001.49 Catastrophic
events serve two purposes for the top criminal element in society – the perpetrators
seize resources while their legislative accomplices impose burdensome restrictions on
the citizens to make them more submissive and silent.
