WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NAZI GOLD?
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
One Trenton Parker, an ex-Marine colonel with CIA connections and
|
|
claiming to have inside knowledge as to what actually became of
|
|
the Nazi gold horde following World War II, was Tom Valentine's
|
|
guest on his nightly radio show, Radio Free America, on July 29,
|
|
1993. Parker is described in the Radio Free America catalog of
|
|
past programs as follows:
|
|
|
|
July 29, 1993: A veteran CIA operative claiming to be with an
|
|
especially secretive group known as Pegasus, was guest.
|
|
Trenton Parker, a "sheep-dipped" Marine Colonel, told of his
|
|
role in planning/execution of the "great energy scam" of the
|
|
70s when Big Oil drove U.S. independent oil companies out of
|
|
business, closed/opened the Suez Canal, created lines at gas
|
|
pumps to drive up price of oil, filched stolen gold into the
|
|
market by opening the gold window to Americans for 1st time
|
|
since 1933, sold weapons to Arab states getting rich from the
|
|
oil scam and sealed the deal with Portland cement from Spain.
|
|
|
|
For further background on Parker, see Rodney Stich's classic
|
|
outline of hidden corruption in the U.S. government, Defrauding
|
|
America {1}. See also Radio Free America's tape archives of past
|
|
programs {2}.
|
|
|
|
By way of background, it may be helpful to re-acquaint ourselves
|
|
with a few things:
|
|
(1) Francisco Franco emerged from the Spanish Civil War
|
|
(circa 1936) as the undisputed dictator of then-fascist Spain.
|
|
Franco had friendly ties to Hitler's Germany.
|
|
(2) ODESSA: an abbreviation of Organisation Der Ehemaligen
|
|
SS-Angehorigen (German: "Organization of Former SS Members"). The
|
|
Encyclopaedia Britannica describes ODESSA, in part, as follows:
|
|
"...clandestine escape organization of the SS underground... A
|
|
large organizational network was set up to help former SS and
|
|
Gestapo members and other high Nazi functionaries to avoid
|
|
arrest... to escape from prison, or to be smuggled out of the
|
|
country. The main escape routes were (1) through Austria and
|
|
Italy, then to Franco's Spain, (2) to Arab countries of the
|
|
Middle East, and (3) to South America..."
|
|
(3) Martin Bormann: again, quoting in part from the
|
|
Encyclopaedia Britannica, "[Bormann] became head of the
|
|
administrative machinery of the Nazi Party, and through intrigue,
|
|
party infighting, and his shrewd manipulation of Hitler's
|
|
weaknesses and eccentricities, he became a shadowy but extremely
|
|
powerful presence in the Third Reich... He disappeared shortly
|
|
after the death of Hitler, and it was presumed that he was either
|
|
dead or in hiding... Later reports, especially in the 1960s,
|
|
alleged that Bormann had escaped and had been living in South
|
|
America, possibly Paraguay. However, early in 1973 a Berlin
|
|
forensic expert established 'with near certainty' that one of two
|
|
skeletons unearthed during construction in West Berlin in
|
|
December 1972 was that of Bormann, and on April 11, 1973, West
|
|
German authorities officially declared him dead."
|
|
|
|
As is apparent from the Radio Free America catalog excerpt quoted
|
|
above, Parker discussed many things during his July 29, 1993
|
|
appearance. What follows is the gist of his explanation of what
|
|
actually happened to the "lost" Nazi gold horde. For further
|
|
details I refer interested readers to the tape of his July 29th
|
|
testimony, available from Valentine Communications (see below).
|
|
|
|
Many of us have heard the story that the Nazi gold was thrown
|
|
into a deep lake in Switzerland and sank far down, down to the
|
|
bottom. Parker calls this nonsense. The gold, he says, was never
|
|
thrown into any lake. The gold went into Spain, through Martin
|
|
Bormann's ODESSA. There it sat, under the watchful eye of
|
|
Generalisimo Franco.
|
|
|
|
"A lot of people have never, ever, asked the obvious question:
|
|
What deal was struck, in order for Franco to pull out of the Axis
|
|
powers during the Second World War?... And the deal was: you get
|
|
to be president; we're not going to bother you... There was a
|
|
deal struck... Spain became, in effect, a major access and exit
|
|
point for a lot of people coming out of Germany at that time."
|
|
|
|
How does Parker know all this? One Ortega-Perez served as a staff
|
|
interpreter for General Eisenhower. The sister of Ortega-Perez
|
|
had married one of Franco's physicians. So, one of Franco's
|
|
physicians passed what he knew to his wife, who passed it to
|
|
Ortega-Perez, who passed it to Eisenhower and/or others in that
|
|
group, and from there the information was grabbed hold of by U.S.
|
|
Intelligence.
|
|
|
|
Parker insists that Martin Bormann did not die in Germany, as
|
|
West German officials had declared. "I can assure you that Martin
|
|
Bormann did *not* die in Berlin. He looked very much alive, in
|
|
March of 1975, in a villa outside of Madrid, Spain, where I went
|
|
to negotiate the liquidation of various tons of gold which were
|
|
turned into perfect Krugerrands."
|
|
|
|
That is the second part of the story: what happened to the gold
|
|
after it got to Spain. The gold remained in Spain, in care of
|
|
Francisco Franco, until circa 1975. Then, with Franco about to
|
|
expire, things began to happen. With Franco nearing his end,
|
|
other factors occurred at about this same time; said factors
|
|
coalescing to bring about "Phase II" of "What Happened To The
|
|
Nazi Gold?" As Parker tells it, the closing of the Suez Canal and
|
|
subsequent shortages of "Portland-grade cement" came together as
|
|
chips to be used by international power brokers in a complicated
|
|
deal. The details of said deal are beyond the scope of this
|
|
article. For further information, again, get hold of the tape of
|
|
the original, July 29, 1993 broadcast.
|
|
|
|
"If you'll remember, at this particular point in time, we got rid
|
|
of American's not being able to own gold. And the big push was
|
|
Krugerrands. And you could buy 'em through Merrill-Lynch and
|
|
Hutton and what have you. It's easy to counterfeit perfect
|
|
Krugerrands if you've got gold." According to Parker, the gold
|
|
was turned into counterfeit Krugerrands and sold in the biggest
|
|
potential market of that time: The United States of America.
|
|
|
|
If you have doubts, then Parker asks you to consider the
|
|
following: even though Americans were buying a lot of gold at
|
|
that time, because of the sudden legality that now they were
|
|
allowed to do so, the price of gold did not climb; it stayed
|
|
flat. "The only explanation for *that* is that somebody is bringing
|
|
in a new supply of gold."
|
|
|
|
Tom Valentine, host of Radio Free America, summed it up: "Tons of
|
|
Krugerrands, phony Krugerrands, made from the Nazi Germany
|
|
gold... This was actually turned into Krugerrands and they put it
|
|
into the market."
