Preface

"This is a moment to take a more altruistic worldview. The world has enough for people’s needs, but not enough for people’s greed." --Matthieu Ricard, paraphrasing Mahatma Gandhi

Sammy Habeeb, a deceased Houstonian, knew more about dice than anyone in the world. When Sammy was in his early twenties, he got a call to come to Dallas and clean up Benny Binion’s hotel dice room. A few years later, in the late 60s, Sammy received a similar ring from Shelby Williams to handle security for the dice games at the Silver Slipper in Las Vegas.

Shortly after Sammy began work, Robert Maheu phoned to ask if Williams would turn down the Slipper’s lights. Howard Hughes was staying across the street and the Slipper’s bright lights were keeping Howard awake. It wasn’t long before Howard agreed to pay top dollar to buy Shelby’s casino, and Sammy got a small piece of the action.

Sammy became a close friend of Claudine Williams, widow of Shelby, and she ultimately became the CEO of Harrah’s. Harrah’s acquired Jack Binion’s Horseshoe interests to become one of the largest casino operators in the U.S.

Sammy trained and consulted for casino giants like Steve Wynn, Jack Binion, and Bobby Baldwin. He associated with Frank Sinatra, and thanks to the math of Jack Newton, they were part of a card counted team before the secret of blackjack (21) was out.

Whenever people accused Sammy of gambling, he smiled and said, I don’t gamble. I don’t play unless I have an edge.

We all need an edge—the evasive knowledge of what exists—how to use information to our advantage to carve out a more secure world for ourselves. This book gives the reader an edge because it explains how and why the United States and the world have changed completely—how democracy is governed by verbal partnerships between a few powerful organizations.

Puzzle solving is my penchant. I live in a world of games—poker, computer software, the JFK conspiracy, flirting with the futures markets, and any high-risk activity, including writing this book.

I joined IBM right before the IBM 360 rolled out in 1963. Over the years, I became proficient at software development, with considerable knowledge of languages, communications, and databases. A few times I made a million dollars on restricted stock, only to see my small fortune slip away before my stock became tradable.

When I was fifty, I thought that I would make money in retirement by writing books, playing poker, and investing. I would travel the world and expense my journeys. Of course, that was a rather naïve concept, I wisely kept to myself.

I was in Dallas the day of the JFK assassination, and by circumstance I gravitated to solving the mystery of the coup d’état. Although I read the conspiracy books, my breakthroughs came from my associates. Revelations blossomed from light-hearted discussions, frequently over food or drinks.

For instance, in 1992 I interviewed Robert Stanhope, a DISC agent in South Portland, Maine. This interview will be discussed in detail in a later chapter, but no other investigative author has ever interviewed a DISC agent.

DISC was a powerful intelligence group reporting directly J. Edgar Hoover. They were a sister organization to the CIA, in charge of security checking for NASA and the CIA. The DISC had top, super-secret clearance for all the functions of government—fully capable of planning the coup, of having Oswald surrounded in New Orleans by space agency contractors, and of staging the Bethesda autopsy.

Because I love poker, golf, billiards, and fishing, I associated with people who had connections and stories. For instance, the Mafia is a loving group with tight bonds. Mafia associates live by their word, and if you break your promises to them, they will probably have you killed. They expect you to retaliate if they double-crossed you.

In 2003, I published a JFK assassination book titled Coup d’Etat, but I could not bring myself to actively market the book. Someone with Asperger syndrome has difficulty going public. My private excuse was that distribution would be too dangerous, which was probably true. Inwardly, I knew there was more information to be gained, and my book helped open doors.

Six years after the release of Coup d’Etat, I had a major breakthrough, and I was able to explain how the military’s intelligence arm, the CIA, contained the investigation of the JFK, MLK, and RFK assassinations conducted by the House Select Committee on Assassination (HSCA). For ten years, I associated with a CIA agent who had handled assassination and bombing in South America until 1980. There are lots of CIA people, but there are very few CIA agents who have authority to kill others—those with the knowledge and capability to handle operations quickly, with their hands.

For over a decade, this former CIA agent revealed how the CIA destroyed the investigation of the HSCA in 1976-77. The CIA terminated intelligence people, FBI agents, and judges in order for the Agency and its boss, the military, to survive.

I thought that if I wrote a screenplay of the assassinations, I would be paid off, or killed. Starting in September of 2009, it took about three months to complete the screenplay, but I did not get paid off from the sale of the script. Then, in early 2010, I did achieve a life-changing measure of success when I was part a group who sold a patent for an online poker application that was offered to the public by Full Tilt as Rush Poker. This allowed me to cash out in real dollars, leaving my golfing and poker buddies to define me as the hopeless nerd who got lucky.

Since then, transformations revealed a larger story--the structure of an American Oligarchy. The elite, as some authors like to refer to the wealthy and powerful Oligarchs, are inherently connected because of long-term secret partnerships. Those contracts are sustained by verbal agreements.

The Oligarch’s goal is to be in control of a one-world society. The U.S. government is an intersection for the exchange of power. Mutual investments help provide the glue and serve as platforms to enable the power brokers. These collusive groups are easily defined, and they include the military, the (mostly Jewish) financiers, the (mostly Texas) oilmen, the mafias, and the Catholic Church.

The Oligarch partnerships are well documented, but the public fails to view them as encompassing, long-term agreements. Once the American Oligarchy is understood, then the World Oligarchy becomes apparent.

This book fits in the grand scheme of things by providing the public with the outside-the-box truth. I respect everyone, especially the hard working FBI agents, whose hands were tied first by Hoover and then by the Justice Department, which is influenced by the power groups. If this federal law enforcement control is understood by citizens, then the FBI may have the chance to be set free to do meaningful work.

Law enforcement, the media, and politicians are normal agents of control. When all else fails, the Oligarchs use direct measures. For instance, in the chapter Clinton-Bush-Obama, this book discusses how the CIA took control of the Republican Party. In the 1994 mid-term election, the CIA forced a large group of Democratic Senators and Congressmen to retire by threatening to expose their corrupt activities.

The intrigue of the mafias and the CIA has to be placed in the perspective of the long-term partnerships, which include the Jewish Syndicate and Big Oil. The objective of the Jewish Syndicate is to control the major economies of the world.

I am well aware of the relationship of Big Oil and the Jewish Syndicate. When I was a teenager, one of the founders of Humble Oil & Refining Company occasionally visited my father to go quail hunting. At the time, oil discovery was a hot subject as wildcatters like Glynn McCarthy drilled in Texas soil.

Later, during my career, I performed software development jobs for clients like Enron, Shell, and Ashland Exploration. I developed control systems used by several oil companies, wrote seismic software, and did landman work. One of my projects included a big due diligence project on wells and leases being sold by EOG Resources, the surviving entity of Enron.

My involvement in the oil industry and the futures markets afforded a unique view of the relationship between firms like Enron and Goldman Sachs. One of the reasons for U.S. gridlock is that Jewish representatives are strategically positioned, and they share an interest in controlling the price of crude and nations.

The major oil firms and their trading partners operate in collusion with the intelligence partnership of the CIA-Mossad, which has boxed in the FBI. Since the JFK assassination, the FBI has avoided conflicts with the Jewish Syndicate, the CIA, Big Oil, and the CIA’s mafia partners.

The game is always the same. The Oligarchs hang with the elite from the different groups. They always win—their connections are too powerful to confront. Their deals and expenditures are virtually risk-free, and someone else has to pay taxes.

This story of the JFK-MLK-RFK conspiracies is the tip of the iceberg, and transformations from this revelation can profoundly change one’s life. A reader may have a moment where he or she experiences an epiphany: What a lie we have been living.

Unfortunately, accepting this story is impossible for most Americans. For instance, my friend Tommy from Highland Park in Dallas has been coming to Houston for cancer treatments at M.D. Anderson. Tommy is a University of Texas graduate I have known for over forty years. When Tommy occasional stays at my place, I try to indoctrinate him about the conspiracy, but he can’t comprehend the facts.

I imposed this question to my JFK screenplay collaborator: Why don’t people believe in a JFK conspiracy? Like you, Tommy is very religious. Even though he’s met Roosevelt Greer several times, and Greer was there when Bobby got shot, Tommy does not believe in the conspiracy. Why is that?

My collaborator said, It has to do with exposure. Yes, I am very religious, but I went into [covert naval] intelligence and then I got to work as an undercover agent on the HSCA [House Select Committee on Assassination]. I sat in on James Earl Ray interviews, talked with William Sullivan, and was driven out to the swamp to meet Carlos Marcello. Then my brother was killed and my place was ransacked. I have seen the other side.

I replied, That is why I tell people who express an interest in the JFK assassination, ‘Why should I waste my breath telling you the true story? Your mind is locked.’

As another example, while at the Telluride Film Festival in 2010, I met a southern lawyer named Tom Tatum at the Sheridan. Tatum was appointed by Jimmy Carter’s administration to the HSCA. I told Tatum, I broke the JFK assassination about a year ago.

Tatum never asked how I broke the case. His mind turned off what I said. Without a blink, he proceeded to tell me his opinions on the conspiracy. I sat there and never shared. There was not any point.

Those accepting that there could have been a conspiracy fall into several categories: (1) those that don’t care, (2) those like the Toms who have set opinions, and (3) a small number of people open to outside opinions.

Many find it difficult to separate the facts because they are confused by the vast amount of the conspiracy information they have read or heard or seen on the screen. Their minds find it hard to isolate and accept that there can be one correct story. Their ultimate question is, Aren’t all conspiracy theories the same?

I gave a copy of this manuscript for editing to a friend, a graduate of The University of Texas. He personally knew John Connally, Ben Barnes, Roy Hofheinz, and many of the people mentioned in this book. He liked the book but he thought it had virtually no new JFK assassination points—no significant breakthroughs.

I was shocked. I believe I have the true story because I have been very fortunate to interview the right people. I hope this book will refocus the readers’ loaded minds, so a few more people can isolate a single story containing the hard evidence.

An old trader said, Just tell me the rules, and I’ll play the game. Hopefully, when one finishes reading this book, he or she will have an edge and be positioned to play the game. The remaining question will be, Can we improve the world’s destiny?

Pete Brewton’s book, The Mafia, CIA, & George Bush, was published in 1992. Brewton was an award-winning journalist who had spent 15 years with the Houston Chronicle, Houston Post, and The Economist. His book’s introduction sums up the challenge of bringing together hard evidence.

Circumstantial evidence must be used because of the secretive nature of the CIA and the unavailability of S&L documents. The evidence appears many times in this way: A failed S&L was owned and controlled by people who have done business with Mafia associates and CIA operatives; many of the borrowers were Mafia and CIA associates; many of the original property owners have done business with Mafia and CIA operatives and some of the money disappears in foreign accounts controlled by Mafia and CIA associates. What does such evidence prove? Based on my research and knowledge of the CIA, I believe it makes it more likely than not that someone in the CIA hierarchy knew about and approved, if not instigated, the S&L actions and its operative.

Brewton was discussing Silverado Savings, where President George H.W. Bush’s son, Neil, was a director. Authorities had no desire to pursue any evidence Brewton presented, and publishing a well-written book was the end of Brewton’s journalistic career. He left Houston and went into the teaching profession.

The material in this book has a similar tone. In my case, I believe that the general public, especially in rural America, is finally getting more of the big picture. Because of the Internet, within a few years citizens will recognize the groups who have been intent on lining their pockets and destroying America.

My book references selected material from the author Robert D. Morrow and The Torbitt Document by Texas attorney David Copeland. This material supports a vast amount of other evidence, but it is not critical because this is a macro level book. I bring up those authors because researchers, disinformation specialists, and CIA wannabes will want you to believe that authors like Morrow and Copeland can be easily discredited. I believe the material I have quoted is a true representation of the facts.

I also included E. Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession. The CIA, FBI, and major publications have been trying for years to discredit Hunt’s works to cover up the fact that a CIA contract assassin was the grassy knoll shooter. I was delighted when Hunt died and conveniently left behind a story that matched the conclusions in my first book.

Well, who are you to believe, someone who has met assassins and conspirators, or a researcher working indirectly for the government, or just a nobody media source trying to get documents released so that he can find something the CIA left behind. Please ignore the library writers and researchers, the lemmings who have to write an acceptable story, especially ignore all committees and commissions.

Disregard the conspiratorial teams of the CIA and FBI that seek to cover up the facts, and accept my big picture as truth. Let’s change America!

Chapter I

The World Oligarchy

"...by controlling food, one can control people, and by controlling energy, especially oil, one can control nations and their financial systems. By placing food and oil under international control along with the world’s monetary system, [Henry] Kissinger is convinced a loosely knit world government can become reality by 1980." -- Paul Scott, Nationally Syndicated Columnist (The Rockefeller File, by Gary Allen, 1976)

In Bad Money Kevin Phillips suggested that the United States’ golden era peaked when agriculture and manufacturing were king. In the 1950s and 1960s finance was a small portion of the economy, but the end of World War II spurred urbanization.

Michael Lewis’s The Big Short suggests the period of middle class opportunity ran until Salomon Brothers imploded in the late 80’s. Richard Maybury’s The Fall of the U.S. Empire suggests the excessive printing of fiat (paper not backed by gold) money by the Federal Reserve altered the U.S. quality of life.

Phillips, Lewis, and Maybury were correct. The U.S. was an imperialistic power built on the expansion into the almost unlimited land resources in the Americas. With industrialization came urbanization. An exploding population needed paper currency, and the greed that followed predictably lead to the death of liberty and democracy.

It is important to look back and gauge history, but doom never pays. It is more important to set a strategy for the future. Create your golden age today. Life can be sweet when you have your rent is paid and the refrigerator is full.

To prosper, a person needs to recognize and take advantage of the fact that since the JFK assassination the United States has been managed by an oligarchy. By attaching oneself to a component of the oligarchy, and with a little foresight, one may be assured of survival.

Oligarchies originated with the formation of strong ethnic and social groups in the 19th century. In the transition from tribes and nobilities, every nation grew an underworld, or mafia. For instance, the people of islands like Sicily, Corsica, and Ireland were bound together to protect themselves from invaders.

Larger nations with multiple ethnic groups have several mafia groups. In the U.S., the Italian-Sicilian underworld became known as the Mafia, but there were similar groups, like the Jewish and Irish mafias.

War and economic events forced the mafia groups to establish a few large international partnerships. The first component groups of international conspirators began to emerge in 1860 when Guise Garibaldi landed in Sicily and disposed the last Spanish Bourbon monarch. Sicily became part of Italy and Garibaldi glorified the peasants who helped him as his Squadron Della Mafia, or Mafia squadron.

A decade later, around 1870, the Roman Catholic Church made an agreement with the Mafia in Sicily. Roving marauders terrorized the island, and the Italian government secretly promised the Mafia it could continue its plunder if it controlled the peasants and safeguarded the Catholic Church’s holdings. This collaboration permitted the Mafia near Palermo to function freely.

The Roman Catholic Church’s partnership facilitated the development of the international Mafia. Between 1890 and 1920 four million Italian and Sicilian immigrants settled in America, mostly in large cities like New York and New Orleans.¹ Gradually the Mafia became an embedded organization, like a tattoo, that couldn’t be erased. It was layered into the U.S. with a blood code of conduct for utmost secrecy—omerta.

The European exodus increased when Benito Mussolini sought to eliminate the Mafia in the 1920s. Sicilians, like Joseph Bonanno, fled to the U.S., just in time to participate in the smuggling of booze enabled by Prohibition.

The money and power resulting from smuggling alcohol led to the formation of an international underworld. Near the end of Prohibition in 1931, Charles Lucky Luciano convened a conference in Chicago. The Chicago boss Al Capone, four New York bosses, including Joseph Bonanno, and about fifteen other powerful Mafia bosses agreed that each family would have a single vote, made memberships would be limited to their current size, the Mafia would come first, no member would solicit another’s wife, and a lifetime obligation to the Mafia was part of the deal. As Luciano said, The only way out is in a box.²

The wife solicitation rule implies that the Mafia was a man’s organization. Most early religions and secret societies were founded on a hierarchy of men.

Verbal contracts were the original basis for secret societies. As an example, the Masons were another men’s group who expanded in England in the 18th Century. A Mason would never write down anything incriminating, and disclosure of private discussions was subject to expulsion, or worse. Masons referred to the exchange of information as my mouth to your ear.

During the late 1900s, the Jewish Syndicate in America evolved in the same ghetto neighborhoods as the Mafia. The term Jewish Syndicate refers to a secret society that includes the Rockefellers, Goldmans, the Mossad, and supporters of the Jewish upper crust. Volunteer Jewish helpers have a bond to Israel that exceeds any allegiance to the U.S.³The Jewish ethos is to do what is right for Mossad and Israel.⁴

The Jewish Syndicate operates as a compartmentalized group, more rigid than the Italian-Sicilian Mafia. Generally they work closely with the Italian-Sicilian Mafia, Israeli intelligence, and the CIA.

The arm of Israel is their foreign intelligence agency, the Mossad, which was established by Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, a street fighter who understood that good intelligence was at the core of Israel’s survival. Patterned after British and French intelligence agencies, the Mossad made their initial connection with the American intelligence through the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Their contact was the OSS’s head of counterintelligence in Italy, James Jesus Angleton.⁵

The U.S. Mossad in New York is linked to Jewish business leaders. Rockefeller’s Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was the organization used by the American Jewish elite to influence foreign affairs.⁶ The CFR allowed the American corporations controlled by the elite to interface with politicians, the military, and the oilmen.

Winthrop Aldrich, David Rockefeller’s uncle, was active in the CFR in the 1930s. Later, David Rockefeller and John McCloy used the CFR as a base for international business and defense connections. McCloy said, Whenever we needed a man, we thumbed through the roll of council members and put through a call to New York.

John D. Rockefeller, Sr., appeared to be a Baptist, but his offspring were Jewish. In 1859, John D. went to Titusville, Pennsylvania to review the potential of the oil industry. He returned to Cleveland and set up Standard Oil Company.

John D. Rockefeller was a master of conspiracy. He grew his monopoly by creating a codebook that allowed seemingly unconnected competitors he controlled to communicate secret information. What Rockefeller couldn’t buy on the cheap, he intimidated or destroyed. By 1890, Standard Oil refined 90% of the U.S. crude.

The Standard Oil monopoly was forced by the government under anti-trust laws to break up its assets in 1911. Standard also agreed not to acquire controlling interest in other U.S. oil companies. Standard effectively circumscribed this constraint by acquiring 50% of Houston based Humble Oil & Refining Company. By owning half of Humble, no one group would ever be able to challenge the Rockefellers in a vote for control of the company.

The Rockefellers financed Humble’s nationwide expansion. As Humble grew into the largest U.S. oil refiner, it was a natural transition for a CEO of Humble to become the CEO of Standard because that’s where the power was. (Humble’s name was later changed to Exxon.)

The Rockefellers also acquired a substantial interest in Mobil. The merger of Exxon and Mobil created Exxon Mobil, the largest oil company headquartered in the U.S. Rockefeller and Goldman maintain interests in Exxon Mobil and other companies in the oil industry.

The Exxon Mobil merger bears a similarity to the merger of JP Morgan and Chase banking interests. JP Morgan Chase is a consolidation of Rockefeller-Morgan-Rothschild U.S. banking interests.

John D. Rockefeller’s wife was Abigail Aldrich, the daughter of Senator Nelson Aldrich. Senator Aldrich was influential in passing legislation for the Federal Reserve Bank. In 1914, Paul Warburg and J.P. Morgan were the original managers of the Federal Reserve Bank. They were tied to a prominent Jewish banking family, the European Rothschilds. The Rothschilds anticipated that there would be two types of individuals to deal with—those looking to profit from the bank, and those who could not comprehend its significance.

Besides control of major oil and banking interests, the Rockefellers have also held interests in Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, IBM, AT&T, and dozens of other corporations. The Rockefellers pyramided their wealth by avoiding paying taxes through the use of trusts, foundations, and charitable organizations. Their assets are frequently under disguised names to avoid transparency, and they influenced the policies of the Federal Reserve.

Nelson Rockefeller, in his role as the U.S. representative to the United Nations, was instrumental in establishing Israel. When Ben-Gurion asked for a state and revenge, Nelson replied that the Israelis could have a state or revenge, but not both.

The Jewish Syndicate operates between the Fed, the President, and
