Black Eagle
Trust Fund
The 9/11 Attacks
and the Black Eagle Trust Fund
"On that fateful day,
the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a national emergency, and for
the first time in U.S. history, invoked
its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) easing
regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next
15 days. These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion
in covert government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard
regulatory controls around identification of ownership."
Dear
friends,
Few people
are aware of the huge Black Eagle Trust fund, let alone its critical relation to
the 9/11 attacks. A brilliant summary of excellent information regarding
this covert fund compiled by meticulous researcher E.P. Heidner ties together
many previously unexplained threads in the 9/11 mystery in ways that are most
compelling. Heidner presents volumes of solid evidence to support his
thesis that one of the main reasons for the attacks was to cover up the
laundering of over $200 billion in bonds from this secretive fund that were to
come due the day after 9/11.
Serious 9/11
researchers will likely be most grateful for the revealing connections in this
careful research made between seemingly unconnected parts of the 9/11 story and
the many people and organizations involved. Those less familiar with the 9/11
cover-up will almost certainly appreciate the broad overview given and the
hidden history behind it all. If we follow the money, a lot of unexplained
things begin to make sense.

massive volume of electronic financial transactions conducted from inside the
WTC just before the towers collapsed. Yet the investigation results are being
kept secret.
Collateral Damage:
U.S. Covert Operations and the Terrorist Attacks on 9/11
The
September 11th attacks were likely meant as a cover-up for financial crimes
being investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), whose offices in
the Pentagon were destroyed on September 11th. [1] The attacks ... were
intended to cover-up the clearing of $240 billion dollars in securities covertly
created in September 1991 to fund a covert economic war against the Soviet
Union, during which ‘unknown’ western investors bought up much of the Soviet
industry, with a focus on oil and gas.
The 9/11
attacks also served to derail multiple Federal investigations of crimes
associated with the 1991 covert operation. Hundreds of billions of dollars of
government securities had to be destroyed. A critical mass of brokers from the
major government security brokerages in the Twin Towers had to be eliminated to
create chaos in the government securities market. A situation needed to be
created wherein $240 billion dollars of covert securities could be
electronically
“cleared” without anyone asking questions – which happened when the Federal
Reserve declared an emergency and invoked its “emergency powers” that very
afternoon. [4]
There were
three major securities brokers in the World Trade Center: Cantor Fitzgerald,
Eurobrokers and Garbon Inter Capital. Cantor Fitzgerald was the largest
securities dealer in the US [7] and arguably the primary target. [8] 41% of the
fatalities in the Twin Towers came from Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers. [13]
24% of the 125 fatalities in the Pentagon were from the
Naval Command Center that housed the Office of Naval
Intelligence.
29 of 30 Office of Naval Intelligence employees died. The
Naval Command Center had been moved into that newly opened section of the
Pentagon only a month earlier. [21] And in the vaults beneath the World Trade
Center Towers, any certificates for bonds were destroyed. [14]
On
that fateful day, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared a national
emergency, and for the first time in U.S. history, invoked
its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) easing
regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next
15 days. These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion in covert
government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard
regulatory controls around identification of ownership. [19]
The
Origins of the World Trade Center Attack
Emboldened
by the lack of consequences for subverting the U.S. constitution and breaking
international law during the
Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, a Bush administration group
known as “the Vulcans” planned a bigger drive to crush Communism once and for
all. They waged war against the Soviet Union and Iraq under George H.W. Bush,
and against Iraq and Afghanistan under George W. Bush. Belonging to this group
were Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage,
and Condoleezza Rice. [31]
The
Vulcan’s drive to bring an end to the Cold War was fueled by a covert war chest
invisible to congressional oversight. [32] This war chest would be known by
several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s Gold, the Golden
Lily Treasure, the Durham Trust or Project Hammer. [33] The program
also seems to have lined the pockets of the individuals that executed this
policy. This was done to the tune of a staggering $240 billion dollars in covert
and allegedly illegal bonds, which appear to have been replaced with Treasury
notes backed by U.S. taxpayers in the aftermath of September 11.
The covert
securities used to accomplish the national security objective of ending the Cold
War ended up in the vaults of the brokers in the World Trade Center, and were
destroyed on September 11, 2001. [36] They came due for settlement and
clearing on September 12. The federal Agency investigating these bonds – The
Office of Naval Intelligence – was in the section of the Pentagon that was
destroyed on 9/11. [37]
To
this key group of senior National Security officials called the Vulcans, who had
participated in the victory of the economic cold war in 1991, the WTC, the
Pentagon, the four airliners and their occupants would became ‘collateral’
damage in the ending of the Cold War. Their deaths were required to hide the
existence of the Black Eagle Trust, and the covert activities it had funded for
over 50 years. The destruction of these lives and buildings constituted
a cover-up of continued lawlessness by a fraternity or brotherhood of
businessmen and criminals often referred to as ‘the Enterprise’ in the 1980s,
though it has remained in the shadows since.
Numerous
sources have documented that at the end of WWII, the treasury of the Japanese
Empire was discovered in the Philippines by a staff member of General Charles
Willoughby, [Edward Lansdale], who was General MacArthur’s chief of
Intelligence. Then known as the
Golden Lily
Treasure, this mass of wealth had been accumulated by the Japanese through
over fifty years of pillaging by its army in Southeast Asia and China. It was
deposited in the Philippines due to the U.S. submarine blockade of Japan.
Reports vary, but
documents in the public domain suggest the recovered
treasure was in excess of 280,000 metric tonnes of gold, not including jewels
and diamonds. [40] After the War [Lansdale] tortured Major Kojima
Kashii – General Yamashita Tomoyuki’s driver – until he revealed and created a
map of the gold sites. [41]
Lansdale
briefed Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy about the findings, and
a U.S. Cabinet level decision was made to confiscate the gold and
cover-up its discovery. The gold would be added to the Black Eagle Trust fund.
It was McCloy, along with Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson and
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson who created the
Black Eagle Trust. [42]
John
McCloy, who had shared a box at the 1936 Olympics with Adolph Hitler, went
on to become President of the World Bank.
Robert
Anderson would go on to operate the Commercial Exchange Bank in the British
West Indies, be convicted of running
illegal banking operations and tax evasion, and be sentenced
to prison. [43] A fourth member of that group –
William
‘Wild Bill’ Donovan – would go on to found the CIA and distribute the gold
to key banks represented by his staffers.
The trust
they created takes its name from the Nazi Black Eagle stamped on the gold bars
of the Third Reich. Gold bullion confiscated from the Reich and not returned to
its rightful owners and their heirs was the original source of funding for this
trust. [44] Over the years, the significance of the Nazi gold would pale in
comparison to the confiscated Japanese treasure.
The men
responsible for initiating and executing the confiscation of Nazi and Japanese
treasury gold represented the most senior Intelligence officers in the U.S. and
Britain at the end of World War II, and the Cabinet of the President of the
United States. The financial institutions represented by these individuals would
become the major financial banks in the world, along with the Swiss-German banks
they hid their gold in. The Yamashita gold would become the cornerstone
of the Black Eagle Fund, from which many covert operations of the U.S.
intelligence would be funded. [58]
Lansdale’s
operation in the Philippines gave birth to most of the common features of modern
covert operations for U.S. Intelligence: bribery, theft, torture, and false flag
operations. It would be Lansdale who would initiate a bond between the US
intelligence organizations and Israeli intelligence. It would be Lansdale that
would set precedents for the Intelligence community to retain the services of
organized crime on U.S. soil. Lansdale would hire American Mafia family heads
Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano in the U.S.
war against Fidel Castro in 1961.
It would be
Lansdale’s team that would propose and justify sacrificing innocent U.S.
civilians in order to rally the American citizenry to support an invasion of
foreign soil. This was done under a program run by Brigadier General William H.
Craig, who reported to Lansdale for the Cuba project. [61] This project was
called Operation Northwoods. Documents for this project would be accidentally
released from the files of Robert McNamara into the public domain some 40 years
later, exposing the degree to which Lansdale’s operatives would go to wage war.
[62] These
declassified documents revealed secret plans of the U.S.
military to wage a fabricated “terror” campaign against US citizens as a pretext
to justify a second invasion of Cuba.
Barrick Gold
would become an investment for nearly every gold bullion bank associated with
the Marcos gold recovery. These banks would loan gold to Barrick, which would
then sell the borrowed gold as derivatives, with the promise of replacing the
borrowed gold with their gold mining operation. The records of many of those
transactions disappeared when Enron collapsed and the trading operation and all
its records were taken over by UBS, another major recipient of Marcos gold. The
FBI was reportedly conducting an investigation into those transactions, and the
investigation files were kept on the 23rd floor of the North Tower of the WTC. A
review of the personal accounts of September 11 now suggests that office was
deliberately targeted with explosives prior to the collapse of the WTC towers.
[73]
Taking
Control
In
November 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected to the White House. Sixty-nine days
after the inauguration, John Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Reagan.
Eight days prior to that attempt, there were a series of unprecedented policy
changes that put George Bush in charge of Foreign Policy and National
Security. That conferred new roles and powers on Bush, including
"unprecedented powers for a vice president." [85] Vice President George Bush was
named the leader of the United States "crisis management'' staff, as a part of
the National Security Council system. [86] Then, on March 30, 1981, just eight
days after these powers were conferred on Bush, President Reagan was shot.
The
father
of the assassin that put Bush in power was John (a.k.a. Jack) Hinckley, Sr.,
the owner of Vanderbilt Oil. Hinckley had been giving maximum donations
every year to George H.W. Bush since he started running for Congress. In
The Black Hole of Guyana: The Untold Story of the Jonestown
Massacre, John Judge painstakingly documents that Jonestown was a CIA
operation for converting dispossessed and lonely refugees
into assassins. In an operation that was falling under
Congressional investigation, the evidence had to be eliminated – and nearly all
the inhabitants were murdered to prevent disclosure. [88]
A key player
in the Marcos gold would be Banker’s Trust, which was taken over by Alex Brown
& Sons, after Banker’s Trust floundered financially on its Russian loans in
the mid 1990s. These Russian loans were facilitated by Enron, starting in August
of 1993, and very possibly were part of the Project Hammer takeover of Soviet
industry. Alex Brown‘s involvement would bring to the forefront the names of
three names of individuals who would play multiple roles in this mystery: Buzz
Krongard, Mayo Shattuck, and J Carter Beese.
Buzz
Krongard is reported as the mentor of Beese and Shattuck from their years
together at Alex Brown. Additionally, he managed the merger between Bankers
Trust and Deutschebank Alex Brown. Bankers Trust, Zurich was a key Marcos gold
holder. Krongard would move on to become Chairman of the investment bank A.B.
Brown, Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust, and Executive Director of the CIA at the
time of September 11.
Mayo
Shattuck would be reported to be the personal banker for Adnan Khashoggi and
Edgar Bronfmann during their partnership at Barrick Gold. [107] He would move on
to become the CEO of Deutschebank who would resign for unexplained reasons the
day after September 11, and would not be at the WTC office that day when the
tower collapsed. It was his bank that was identified as the source of the
illegal
stock options that indicated there was insider trading taking advantage of
the September 11 tragedy.
What
happened to the Marcos gold after it was confiscated by U.S. agents in 1986 has
never been reported, but throughout the early 1990s, the world gold market would
be befuddled by the mysterious appearance of thousands of tonnes of gold which
appeared to suppress the price of gold.
In
preparation for their war against Communism, and in the years leading up to the
failed – or faux – coup of 1991 which initiated the last days of Gorbachev and
the rise of Yeltsin, Bush and a cadre of rogue KGB officials built a complex
international network of banks and holding companies that would be used to take
over ownership of the Soviet economy. Over 300 of these KGB turncoats who
supported this operation would later be re-located to the US in the early 1990s
and pensioned. [111] Periodic CIA reports to Congress would review KGB and
organized crime complicity in the takeover of Russia by criminal elements, but
all mention of the formidable role of the U.S. would be expunged from
Congressional oversight and the public record. [112]
In the first
phase of the economic attack on the Soviet Union, George Bush authorized
Leo Wanta and
others to destabilize the ruble and facilitate the theft of the Soviet/Russian
treasury. This would result in draining the Russian treasury of between 2,000 to
3,000 tonnes of gold bullion, ($35 billion at the time). [113] The gold was
‘stolen’ in March of 1991, facilitated by Leo Wanta and signed off by Boris
Yeltsin’s right hand man. The majority of the leaked reports from the CIA and
FBI suggest the theft of the Russian treasury was a KGB and Communist party
operation, but what those reports omitted was the extensive involvement of Boris
Yeltsin, the U.S. banking industry and the CIA.
In the
second phase, Wanta, George Soros and a group of Bush appointees would begin to
destabilize the ruble. There were two major operations: the largest was
coordinated by Alan Greenspan and Oliver North, and implemented by Leo Wanta.
The
9/11 Cover-up and the Black Eagle Trust
With an
understanding of the economic war being waged on the Soviet Union, the focus
needs to turn to reports that on September 11, 1991, President George Bush was
responsible for issuing $240 billion dollars in secretive bonds as a part of
this attack on the Russian ruble. There are six lines of evidence from eight
sources that suggest this was indeed the case. Many of these instances are
corroborated with documents available on the Internet, presented by those making
the claims. [174]
The
bonds sat for ten years, like a ticking time bomb. They had to be settled – or
cashed in by September 12, 2001. The two firms in the U.S. most likely to be
handling them would be Cantor Fitzgerald and Eurobrokers – the two largest
government securities firms in the U.S. The federal agency mostly involved in
investigating those transactions was the Office of Naval Intelligence. On 9/11,
those same three organizations: the two largest government securities brokers
and the Office of Naval Intelligence in the US took direct hits.
What
happened inside the buildings of the World Trade on September 11 is difficult,
but not impossible to discern. The government has put a seal on the testimony
gathered by the investigating 911 Commission, and instructed government
employees to not speak on the matter or suffer severe penalties, but there are a
number of personal testimonies posted on the Internet as to what happened in
those buildings that day.
Careful
reconstruction from those testimonies indicates the deliberate destruction of
evidence not only by a targeted assault on the buildings, but also by targeted
fires and explosions. In the event that either the hijacking failed, or
the buildings were not brought down, the evidence would be destroyed by
fires. In addition to the investigative evidence being destroyed, the
Federal Register reported that the physical securities held by the brokers in
their vaults had been destroyed.
What would
be even more revealing would be the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank and the
Securities and Exchange Commission on that day, and in the immediate aftermath.
As one of many coincidences on 9/11, the Federal Reserve Bank was operating its
information system from its remote back-up site rather than it’s downtown
headquarters. The SEC and Federal Reserve system remained unfazed by the attack.
All of their systems continued to operate. The two major security trading firms
had their trade data backed up on remote systems. Nevertheless, the Commission
for the first time invoked its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act
Section 12(k) and issued several orders to ease certain regulatory restrictions
temporarily.
The
Federal Reserve Suspends the Rules
On the first
day of the crisis, the SEC lifted “
Rule
15c3-3: Customer Protection – Reserves and Custody of Securities.” Thus GSCC
[Government Securities Clearing Corporation] was thus allowed to substitute
other securities for the physical securities destroyed during the attack.
“…collateral substitutions can and should be made with regard to immediately
maturing collateral.” [191] At this point in time,
the Federal Reserve
and its GSCC had created a settlement environment totally void of controls and
reporting – where it could substitute valid, new government securities for the
mature, illegal securities, and not have to record where the original bad
securities had come from, or where the new securities went – all
because the paper for the primary brokers for US securities had been
eliminated.
A review of
the explanations for the actions of the Federal Reserve after September 11th
exposes an amazingly complex web of analysis and speculation. The reports
published by the Federal Reserve argue that the Federal Reserve’s actions
increasing the monetary supply by over $300 billion were justified to overcome
operational difficulties in the financial sector. While impressive as the
reports are, what is noted by the casual reader is that all of the Federal
Reserve analysis is speculative and suggestive, using phraseology such as “may
have,” “likely,” “presumably,” or “should have.” There are few – if any –
definitive statements about root cause and the appropriateness of the Federal
Reserve response.
While the
Fed was reporting outstanding account balances of over $100 billion per day
(while not identifying the banks involved), the Wall Street Journal reported
that at one point during the week after 9/11, BoNY was publicly reported to be
overdue on $100 billion in payments. [198] The Deutschebank, which sat inside
the WTC and was totally decimated, reported no such account balance increase,
and JP Morgan, the other of only two clearing banks which uses the same traders
and communications hub, reported no such increase in its account balance.
No one has publicly asked: why is it that these other two banks were not
seriously disrupted, while the Bank of New York – which had no structural damage
– seemed unable to operate?
Certain key
unknown figures in the Federal Reserve may have ‘conspired’ with key unknown
figures at the Bank of New York to create a situation where $240 billion in off
balance sheet securities created in 1991 as part of an official covert operation
to overthrow the Soviet Union, could be cleared without publicly acknowledging
their existence. These securities, originally managed by Cantor Fitzgerald, were
cleared and settled in the aftermath of September 11th through the BoNY. The
$100 billion account balance bubble reported by the Wall Street Journal as being
experienced in the BoNY was tip of a three day operation, when these securities
were moved from off-balance-sheet to the balance sheet.
[As reported
on page 12 of a
Federal Reserve document] “In the absence of complete
information on deliveries into and out of its account at BoNY on September 11,
and as a result of its assumption of settlement fails on the starting legs of
blind-brokered RPs, GSCC recorded (after the close of business on September 11)
$266 billion in transactions that apparently failed to settle.… Continuing
connectivity problems prevented GSCC from giving BoNY delivery instructions
after the close of business on September 11 and prevented it from acquiring
information on activity in its account at BoNY during the day on September 12.
Consequently, GSCC recorded $440 billion in settlement fails as of the close of
business on September 12.” [201]
What appears
to be the case is that the Federal Reserve imbalances reported on three
consecutive days in the aftermath were largely concentrated at the Bank of New
York, which is reported to represent over 90% of the imbalance, suggesting the
Bank had been the recipient of massive fund transfers, and unable to send out
transfers. Overall transactions for the day of 9/11 were seemingly down even
more significantly than volume, but the transactions that came in after closing
were extremely large, averaging in size in packages of $35 million or more. This
would be consistent with a hypothesis that $240 billion of securities were being
pushed surreptitiously into the money supply.
The
Federal Reserve, without providing the detail required to substantiate it’s
claims, would have the public believe that there were widespread liquidity
issues, when in fact the issues were very concentrated primarily, if not
singularly, in the BoNY, which has been the subject of an ongoing major money-laundering investigation for many years. These
account balance issues resulted in the defacto expansion of the monetary supply,
details of which are no longer reported by the Federal Reserve.
The reported
cause of this market malfunction is seemingly suspect. By comparison, the
Deutschebank which sat inside the World Trade Center reported no such account
balance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of two clearing banks which uses the
same traders and communications hub, reported no such increase in account
balance. Additionally, while problems were being documented between the BoNY and
GCSS, no other institution had those problems.
There is a
contention that at the core of the September 11th attack, someone was planning
to cover the 1991 issuance of $240 billion in covert securities used to finance
the collapse the Soviet Union. The facts surrounding the financial aftermath of
September 11 suggest this is not only possible, but that reports describing the
aftermath have deliberately been misleading.
- The US dollar money supply was significantly increased in the aftermath of
9/11;
- The bank at the core of the illegal money laundering by ex-Soviet criminals
was the source of the increased money supply (BoNY);
- The generally disseminated rationale for BoNY’s operational problems seems
to have affected no other bank in a similar manner or magnitude and is
inconsistent with reports on the BoNY operations in the aftermath;
- A key witness who might provide insight to these issues is a statistically
aberrant death;
- The source of the BoNY’s $330 billion increase in assets is cloaked under
the privilege of “private banking;”
- The only alleged “severe” disruption to the financial systems was the
Federal Reserves account balance and the securities trading fails – both systems
required to hide the laundering of $240 billion in covert securities.
This is not
a ‘proof’ that $240 billion was laundered, but it provides probable cause for
paying serious attention.
Conclusion
History has
many interpretations, and this report has been just one of many – an
interpretation pieced together from the bold admissions and revelations of
insiders, whose stories have been ignored and suppressed by the major media
organizations. It is an interpretation of history that suggests a few
determined men strove to change the world in defense of Western capitalism in
ways which they felt needed to be hidden from the public. Whatever emotion or
logic that was adequate to cause them to hide their actions from the public was
not strong enough to prevent them from committing the acts.
