Hi Sec Hum Folks!,
Here is a little more insight into Hank Greenberg and the Global Criminal Elite. The article also shows more ties of William Clinton to this global criminal scheming.
Maurice "Hank“ Greenberg, AIG and the Burning Down of the Madhouse By: Dr. Stefan G. E. Grossmann, www.gallerize.com

Maurice "Hank“ Greenberg, age 79, is living proof to the insight that the insurance industry is full of crooks.
The recent news about AIG, Maurice Greenberg, his two sons and Warren Buffett indicates that the inside attacks of 9-11-1 are a huge accounting fraud - a mega-Enron - of the U.S. insurance industry. Initially, the insurance industry had to pay several billion $$ in damages. However, 9-11-1 has changed the landscape of insurance risk in such a way that premiums went into a steep hike, and today the U.S. insurance industry is the major beneficiary of 9-11-1 to the tune of over $13 billion increase (in 2004) for AIG alone (AIG alone thus achieved record revenues in 2004 of $100 billion according to preliminary figures). The beneficiary of a crime is always a prime suspect of a crime. Here: the driving force behind the insurance industry. The Greenbergs, father and two sons, and Warren Buffett, their partner apparent in another Enron-size accounting fraud. Here are two outlines of the evidence – basically, an insurance fraud involving a rigged building demolition and the mass-murder of several thousand people: http://www.plaguepuppy.net/public_html/letters/tom.htm http://www.cloakanddagger.ca/media/Grossmann/Four%20Horsemen/066%20Four%20Riders%20of%209-11%20Apocalypse.htm(scroll down to section III)

The following section provides some insight why the Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, is not doing his duty of prosecuting and investigating crimes: Conveniently, Greenberg together with his contacts has been able to hoist a company lawyer into the position of criminal prosecutor. That fellow’s name is Eliot Spitzer, posing as a rabid guardian of the criminal code, but in reality doing nothing else than prosecuting serial killers for shoplifting and otherwise sitting on his hands to let the law rot. If these people hope that the truth will drop dead or go away they are mistaken. The truth is knocking loudly on their door and calling their name. Eliot Spitzer’s prosecution against Greenberg and AIG is an ersatz prosecution – a sham intended as a diversion. The idea behind this is that if Spitzer appear aggressive enough and the media convey this image convincingly, any true and meaningful reporting of AIG’s and Greenberg’s terroristic and treasonable felonies can be avoided. In other words, Eliot Spitzer, a former partner of AIG’s corporate lawfirm Skadden Arps, who some say is a crooked operation, is doing everything to save a major client of his former lawfirm. Or in short: friends help friends. Eliot Spitzer has been provided with a Citizens’ Complaint about the criminal aspects of 9-11-1, including numerous details about the specific and tangible insurance fraud involving Silverstein, Blackstone Group, Greenberg, Kissinger together with a research DVD full of data. Spitzer is stubbornly refusing to act on the evidence and is trying to take refuge to a mere mockery of prosecution.
The Christian Science Monitor, "A Top Insurance Company as the New Enron?“ (April 01, 2005), at http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0401/p03s01-usju.html writes: Because AIG is so massive and important to the financial world, regulators will have to tread carefully. The company’s main business is providing reinsurance, that is, it insures insurance companies. This helps the industry to spread its risk among many large and financially sound companies so a single event does not become a financial disaster for one company.
A deal between Greenberg/AIG and another grandee of the American insurance industry, Warren Buffett amount to a $1.77 billion accounting fraud which actually has been admitted by AIG. As a consequence of this fraud and the insurance investigation of Eliot Spitzer, Maurice Greenberg resigned as the all-powerful CEO of AIG on March 15, 2005; and he resigned his position as non-executive AIG Chairman on April 3, 2005. Until Greenberg’s resignation, the Greenberg family (Greenberg Sr. and his two sons Jeffrey and Evan) together with Warren Buffett control the better part of the U.S. insurance industry. Jeffrey Greenberg was CEO and chairman of the world’s second-largest insurance broker Marsh & McLennan (resigned in October 2004). Evan Greenberg is President and CEO of Ace Limited, a Bermuda-based insurer. Warren Buffett owns and controls General Reinsurance.
Last November, AIG agreed to pay $126 million to settle allegations of securities fraud by the SEC and the Justice Department related to three 2001 transactions it made with PNC Financial Services Group Inc. that allegedly helped the Pittsburgh-based banking company artificially inflate its earnings. AIG, without admitting or denying guilt, also settled civil-fraud charges with the SEC, with another company paying a $10 million fine.
Greenberg Sr. owns nearly 2% but through offshore companies controls about another 12% of the stock of AIG.
The connection with Warren Buffett is all the more suspicious in light of the substantiated indication of CIA money laundering through a bank partly owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Wells Fargo Bank, and the strange ongoings at the Offutt Air Base on 9-11-1 where Buffett met with President George W. Bush.
Maurice ‘Hank’ Greenberg, the president and chief executive officer of American International Group (AIG), a multi-billion dollar New York-based insurance company …, is no run-of-the-mill insurance salesman. Since taking over the Shanghai and New York-based insurance business of Cornelius Vander Starr in 1968, Greenberg has emerged as one of the most powerful behind-the-scenes political fixers in the Anglo-American Establishment. He is vice chairman of the New York Council on Foreign Relations. He is a member of the Board of Counselors of the Washington, D. C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), which serves, on occasion, as Wall Street’s private sector equivalent of the CIA’s Directorate of Operations.” [Note: Philip Manuel, the investigator, is a member of the Financial Crimes Task Force of the CSIS, see at
http://www.csis.org/taskfina.html.
Although Greenberg is a lifetime Republican, his name was prominently circulated as a possible replacement for James Woolsey, as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, during the first Clinton administration.”
"Greenberg is also the oldest and largest paying client of Henry Kissinger’s ‘consulting firm,’ Kissinger Associates. Greenberg hired Kissinger as his chief international trouble-shooter in 1982, and has been plowing millions of dollars a year into Kissinger’s coffers ever since.”
"The Kissinger connection has brought Greenberg an inside track on lucrative insurance and banking deals with both Peking and Moscow. In China’s financial hub, Shanghai, Greenberg’s AIG is the only foreign company with Chinese government approval to sell insurance policies to the city’s 13 million native Chinese.”
"Greenberg was introduced to C.V. Starr in 1961, after working for nearly a decade for Continental Casualties. The introduction was made by insurance executive Milburn Smith. Seven years later, whenStarr died, Greenberg took over the business, according to profiles of Greenberg published in Business Week and Barron’s.” "Starr had launched his insurance operation in Shanghai in 1919, first selling policies to the large Russian émigré community, and the British circles who were still kicking around China, following the Opium Wars.”
"Sources in the Philippines who are familiar with Starr’s early operations, link his success to the fact that he was close with Peter Aleksandrovich Badmayev, a leading Asian representative of the Soviet Cheka’s Felix Dzershinskii, and Badmayev’s close friend, Sidney Reilly, the so-called ‘ace of spies,’ who worked for both British and Bolshevik intelligence services.”
"At the outset of World War II, Starr became an intelligence asset of the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the wartime predecessor to the CIA. Starr’s OSS links landed him an entry to the emerging postwar ‘bankers CIA’ apparatus.” "When Greenberg took over from Starr, the firm’s reputation for merging business interests with Anglo-American intelligence operations did not diminish.“
Greenberg was more than an "intellectual asset” for the Philippines coup plotters. A former high ranking CIA official in the Reagan administration named Hank Greenberg as being intimately involved in the overthrow of Marcos. Greenberg, according to the source, called upon his good friend, William Casey, to add his weight to the plot, and the CIA boss obliged. Greenberg’s zeal to dump Marcos was largely a matter of „business.” As the owner of the major insurance company in the Philippines, Philippine-American Life Insurance, Greenberg was the underwriter for all of the banks in the Philippines. And Marcos was increasingly finding himself at odds with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other agencies representing the world’s big private financing syndicates.
There is at least one report on secret connections between BCCI, AIG, the Chinese CITIC (the biggest client of Kenneth Starr), the Indonesian Lippo Group, other entities, and William J. Clinton during and after the Whitewater affair (see organigram at http://www.federal.com/mar24-97/Network; article published in the March 24, 1997 issue if the Washington Weekly). In the March 17, 1997 issue (see athttp://www.federal.com/mar17-97/Coral), the Washington Weekly wrote: "Whatever AIG is, it appears to be tied into that big, bipartisan, ugly network of intelligence, money laundering, Arkansas, and Communist China.”
In 1995, AIG became the first company to be licensed to sell insurance in China. AIG is a client of Kissinger & Associates. It was Henry Kissinger, the former Secretary of State, who advised against harsh sanctions after the Tienanmen Square massacre. „No government in the world would have tolerated having the main square of its capital occupied for eight weeks by tens of thousands of demonstrators,“ he wrote. The conduct of the students made a crackdown „inevitable“, he added. AIG has also been the focus of SEC and BCCI investigator Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau’s attention, presumably because of its dumping insurance policies in the U.S. market below cost, to explore its ties to the BCCI. And finally, AIG is headed by Maurice Greenberg, one-time chairman of the NY Federal reserve Bank, and in 1995 a candidate to head the CIA. Greenberg is chairman of the US-China Business Council and lobbied hard (and successfully) for the Clinton administration to sever the link between China’s human rights record and renewal of China’s Most-Favored-Nation trade status.”

In 1991 we publicized exclusive details of the "Bank of Criminals and Conspirators International“ [BCCI]. To promote their operations worldwide, they bribed public officials, including in the United States. BCCI bribed or blackmailed both Houses of Congress: 108 members of the House of Representatives and 22 U.S. senators. It was bribery or blackmail. And BCCI had Congress by theirprivate parts. Some $5 billion of BCCI funds disappeared in the bribery/blackmail schemes -- secret coded accounts in Switzerland and the Caymans. The Bush White House used the bribery list to push through the Senate Clarence Thomas for U.S. Supreme Court. On the list were seven Democrats that pushed the confirmation over the top. Likewise, Bush used the bribery list to silence the „October Surprise“ subcommittee, in a position to nail George for treason. (That was the delay of the release of the U.S. hostages to help put in the Reagan-Bush ticket.)
The Spotlight newspaper (June 16, 1997, page 7) asked whether Greenberg, during his tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, had any connections with the Russian underground economy: “The New York Federal Reserve Bank has been functioning as a „printing press” for the Russian Mafia-dominated Moscow banks. New York magazine writer Robert Friedman has reported that, every business day, planeloads of freshly printed $100 bills are flown from JFK Airport in New York to Moscow. These bills, provided by the New York Fed, generate billions of dollars a year in revenues for the U.S. Treasury, and have been a significant factor in the global power grab by Russian organized crime.
"AIG is an insurance company which is one of the biggest money launderers in the world.”
Maurice Greenberg may be the most influential individual alive. Moreover, during the Clinton administration, he was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. He was then nominated as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), however found very little support. Nevertheless, Maurice Greenberg continues his close ties to the intelligence community. See, for example, the voluminous Report: http://www.fas.org/irp/cfr.html
AIG has managed an astounding thing: they have had written for themselves parts of U.S. federal tax laws that gave them tax exemptions (Philadelphia Inquirer as quoted above). “AIG won a special provision in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 exempting certain of its operations from a crackdown on foreign tax shelters. AIG as the prime beneficiary of a section in the Tax Reform Act that exempted AIG and other large insurers from taxes on some of their offshore operations, saving them millions of dollars.” More than 50% of their business is outside the USA, including offshore jurisdictions.
As to the Americans involved, one must remember what Senators John Kerry and Hank Brown found in „A Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate” (December 1992, 102d Congress 2d Session Senate Print 102-140, at

On January 6, 1995, John Crudele of the New York Post published a column which called attention to a secret financial deal involving Coral Reinsurance on Bermuda, the Arkansas Development and Finance Authority, a project founded at the time by Arkansas state governor William J. Clinton (ADFA) and Maurice Greenberg’s American International Group (AIG). The story was only out for a few hours when Swaney received a call from a stranger who told Swaney he had been conducting his own investigation of Coral Insurance and AIG and was surprised to learn that the connections led to people then in the White House. When Swaney asked the stranger to identify himself, he declined to do so, for fear of retaliation. The Ozark Gazette (see at
http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a1001317.htm reports that the anonymous caller had reliable information:
“We will call him Mr. Anonymous. It seems that Mr. Anonymous is an insurance man in New York City – a competitor of AIG – and at sometime in the last two years he became very suspicious of AIG because its affiliates were offering insurance at premiums way below market rates. Mr. Anonymous told Swaney that he could not believe that a legitimate insurance company could stay in business offering such low rates. Mr. Anonymous suspected that he was in competition with an illegal enterprise, and began poking around in the affairs of AIG. At some point after that, Mr. Anonymous became frightened, and dropped his investigation, because he believed that the repercussions were damaging his own business. Mr. Anonymous also told Swaney (and John Crudele of the New York Post) that AIG and its relationship with Coral Reinsurance was under investigation by the insurance regulators of Pennsylvania and New York. Other industry sources told John Crudele that $450million dollars had suddenly appeared in Coral’s account in just the last two weeks of 1987. Investigators have been unable to identify the source of the cash infusion.
By the middle of February the stories written by Crudele were attracting attention in the Arkansas press. Andrea Harter of the Democrat Gazette began a month long investigation into the Coral deal. The story appeared March 5, 1995 and revealed even more extensive connections between AIG/ADFA. In the year preceding the purchase of Coral stock by ADFA, an AIG affiliate had managed over one billion dollars worth of ADFA’s bonds. Having been founded in 1985 and starting business in 1986, by early 1987 ADFA had only been in business a little over a year. AIG’s involvement with that much of their bonds so early in ADFA’s history indicates a very strong relationship. Once again, considering that the Arkansas Committee had been told that US Intelligence had indeed laundered money through ADFA, and that the sale of ADFA’s bonds was one such vehicle for doing so, Maurice Greenberg’s connections to international politics and intelligence was very interesting.”
