Sins of the Fathers – Part
VI – And the Money –
Where has it all gone?
This
report has been floating around on the Internet, some of it may not be true,
but a mighty lot seems to fit in with what is known today.
FW DE KLERK AND COVERT DEALINGS PRIOR TO THE 1994
ELECTIONS
For 2, decades, accusations against the FW de Klerk government have been flying about. Many people have been whispering about vast sums of money being paid over by Swiss bank accounts to NP politicians and government operators to hand over the SA government to the ANC. For 18, years, nothing could be proven, until now:
CITIBANK
‘black gold’ through Project Hammer – some 30 accounts used. Asked where these accounts were located, Cocke responded saying – in almost one solid block at Citibank.
PROJECT HAMMER
Project Hammer was a desperate undertaking by the USA government to rescue some of its leading
Create political instability (between the NP goverment
and the ANC). Then create a political vacuum where dodgy gold and diamond deals
could be done without too many questions (maybe even an interim NP/ANC goverment.
Where the minimum control would facilitate covert gold and diamond movements). Project
Hammer involved the trading of $13.6 trillion in debentures resulting in ‘fallout’
of about $1.1 trillion which was stashed in the Howard Hughes account in Credit
Suisse. Obviously, in a project of this size, many organizations had to be
involved: The CIA, FBI, all the NSA agencies, Pentagon in the broadest senses of
it and as such, the Treasury and Federal Reserve. Nobody got out of the act,
and everybody wanted to get in on the act – for there were lots and lots of
money to be made.
EXECUTIVE OUTCOMES, SANDLINE and the STASI
Both Stander and Van Rooyen were board members
of the “Eastcorp Syndicate” which
Boasted
of having some boasted almost two dozen other companies in its stable.
Included were Intercol Pty, Ltd, Cavo Shipping – which conducted intelligence gathering missions for governments, and Bridge S.A. The latter was registered in Monrovia, Liberia. According to Peter Goslar, once a close friend of Riaan Stander, other board members of Bridge S.A., were Colonel Tim Spicer and Mick Ranger of ‘Sandline’ fame. In a letter written to a Washington law firm involved in a lawsuit involving Project Hammer, Goslar fingers Bridge S.A. – and hence Van Rooyen and Riaan Stander, as ‘part of the Executive Outcomes operation. Eastech International Bank was underwritten by a Mexican firm Ro-Mar Pharmaceuticals, a firm claiming to control over $100 billion in gold.

Van Rooyen and Stander entered via Eastech into an agreement to purchase 5000 metric tons of gold at a reduction of 4% from the Second London Fix. This gold was held in the free zone area beneath Zurich’s Kloten Airport. Interestingly, the contract, which ran to six pages, bears the official stamp of the Swiss Police, authorizing and validating the transaction. By 1995, Eastech International Bank had begun to hit the radar screen of regulatory authorities around the world that viewed it with suspicion, but by then it seems likely that much of Project Hammer’s SA objectives had been fulfilled. Fearing the worse, Roelf Van Rooyen left SA and travelled to Germany. According to his one-time friend, Peter Goslar, this is where he still lives albeit protected by former members of the East Germany’s Stasi spy-network.

Tony Giordiadis, from Greece. Giordiadis had exceptionally close ties with Richard Charter (corporate manager of BMW at the time).
On
May 11 and 12, 1990, De Klerk paid an official visit to Greece. Here, he met
with Pres. Caramanlis and Prime Minister Mitsosakies. De Klerk also met Tony
Gordiakis at this time. Of Greek origin, but London based, Georgiadis shipped
oil to SA in contravention of sanctions and developed close relations with
members of the NP goverment. To distribute money freely, Georgiadis opened a
bank account in Liberia for Mallar Incorporated (it was also through this
account that bribes to the tune of $22 million were paid to ANC officials
during the Arms Deal). Geordiadis’s father-in-law Lanaras once served as
director of the shipping firm Alandis. The conspirators were faced by another
huge obstacle – the loyal members of the Defense Force, Military Intelligence,
National Intelligence Agency and the South Africa Police, who would immediately
put a stop to the transactions, should they find out. Georgiades divorces his
wife, and she is currently the wife F W De Klerk.
‘THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS’
De Klerk fired all loyal officers to that his collaborators could move freely. On December 19, 1992, FW de Klerk fired 23 senior army officers, including navy officers, who could pose a threat to his plans. So great was the speed with which De Klerk acted that even the army’s public relations office was not informed of the press conference. In addition, many of the officers disciplined, were on holiday and were unaware of their suspension. The axed officers included: Major-General Chris Thirion, Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence, who had a reputation of being one of the more progressive of the younger generation of generals, Major-General Hennie Roux, Chief of Army Intelligence, Brigadier Ferdie Van Wyk, Director of Army Communications, who master-minded Project Echoes, Brigadier Tolletjies Botha, Director – Directorate of Covert Collection, which was raided in November by investigators of the Goldstone Commission, including UN personnel, Brigadier Oos van der Merwe, Director of Army Intelligence, Commander Jack Widdowson of the Navy. He named only three other officers, Colonel At Nel, Colonel Chris Prinsloo and Commandant Stephen Snyders, who were all put on compulsory leave.
The Greek shipping tycoon could now go about his business unhindered. Georgiadis was of course also
‘n Plek waar die son weer skyn. Nevertheless, Marike de Klerk was not done yet. Then, sadly, on 2 Dec. 2001, she was brutally murdered in her Dolphin Beach complex, Bloubergstrand apartment, hours after sending an undisclosed fax to Holland. Curiously – the European Union paid R30 000 into the account of the murder accused – Mboniswa, channeled by the Foundation for Human Rights, for DNA tests. Mboniswa stood trail in the Western Cape High Court and was found guilty of the murder, without taking the stand in his own defense.
What was to follow was the orchestrated and directed ‘political reform’ as was dictated to by foreigners of this country. The reform was steered by international banks/financiers as well as foreign intelligence agencies. The subsequent buy-out of South African politicians and role players, culminated in the demise of a country.
In
their book “THE FALL OF THE ANC “ by
Prince Mashele & Mzukisi Qobo, they refer to the fact from 1989 until
1994 under then Pres F W De Klerk the RSA’s foreign debt had snowballed from R
91,2 billion to R 237 billion, in current prices. Therefore, is this article
from the Internet so farfetched?
Today
we have questionable characters who claim on one instance they represent Pres Zuma and on
the other, they renounce him and in effect slander him? The Sereti Commission in Pretoria is busy investigating the Arms Deal and the resultant corruption.
Again, we see and hear a lot of nonsense put forth. The supposed secrecy
provisions in these Commissions is not so much as to protect t the interests of
the RSA, but rather that of the individuals that benefited from that. The
admissions by people such as Vice-ADMIRAL Johnny Kamerman (retired) to the fact
that the Minister of Defense had a prerogative in the choosing of the suppliers
of equipment does not ring true. Yet, nobody seems to have grasped the importance
of this admission. An issue to which we shall return later on whilst we have regarded
to the role such con artists such as Chad Thomas is playing in order to mislead
the public. In addition, the fact that the Intelligence Services in the RSA is
populated with such scoundrels who are jell bent on stuffing their pockets and
misleading the government.
Why is
President Zuma, the man with the splinter in his eye, so vilified? Does this
all relate to these historical happenings, which still plays a role in the current
South Africa’s?
