[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] Who is the Octopus

From: "David Guyatt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Slightly off topic but then again...   Who is the Octopus?  I've read many accounts of the Octopus - with Carol Marshall's THE LAST CIRCLE ranking top most in my mind to date.  But the actual identity of the Octopus remains uncertain.  This week I read Mae Brussel's essay "The Nazi Connection to the JFK Assassination."  Whoaa!  This was written almost twenty years ago in 1983, and Mae Brussel looks like she hit the nail on the head back then:   "In A Study of a Master Spy, published in London in 1961, Bob Edwards, a member of Parliament and Kenneth Dunne, presented documentary evidence that Allen Dulles of the CIA carried on secret conferences with representatives of Hitler's SS Security Office in February and March 1943. They learned that "Official Washington knew Martin Bormann, Deputy Fuhrer of Hitler's Germany, master-minded the international 'Die Spinne' (Spider) underground organization which is planning to revive nazism as soon as West Germany is adequately rearmed by the United States. Official Washington seems disinterested." With John J. McCloy, Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover in control of the Kennedy assassination investigation, these nazi connections were buried.  The Bunge Corporation, Argentina & Germany. The stock market dropped 24 points in 27 minutes when news of President Kennedy's assassination was announced. 2.6 million shares were sold off. It was the greatest panic since 1929. Somebody made a huge profit selling short in many markets. Somebody made half a billion dollars in one day. Coincidentally, the Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corporation, headed by New Jersey commodities dealer Anthony De Angeles, crashed the same day, driving the market down. Allied Crude was controlled by U.S. American Bunge Corporation and financially controlled by a group of share-holders headquartered in Argentina, known as "Bunge and Born, LDA." Business Week of October 19, 1963, one month before the Kennedy assassination, described the Born family in Argentina, the biggest shareholders for Bunge, as being from Europe, specifically Germany.  Everything about Bunge has German influence. They have a $2 billion annual business in 80 countries. There are over 110 offices, all linked by Telex and under-the-ocean telegraph channels. The Bunge Corporation is referred to as "the Octopus." One of the best "Bormann" books ever written in my opinion is Paul Manning's "Martin Bormann - Nazi in Exile."   Manning was a highly regarded journalist.  His story reveals how Bormann was the master-mind behind the Nazi capital flight programme beginning 1944 - once it was clear that the Third Reich was going down the tubes.  One significant implication was that the "Battle of the Bulge" was a delaying tactic to ensure sufficient time for the capital flight programme to become effective.  Thereafter Bormann escaped to Argentina and safety where he re-invested the vast assets and Nazi war plunder into the stock markets of the US & Europe via 750 corporation Bormann established in secrecy during the last year of the war.  Bormann was not a dogmatic Nazi but rather believed in laizze faire capitalism with a capital C, as I understand it Mae Brussel also noted that "SS Major Otto Skorzeny's CIA agents participated in terror campaigns waged by Operation 40 in Guatemala, Brazil and Argentina."  Skorzeny was, of course, one of the principal SS officers involved in Der Spinne - and hence connected to the Bormann group. Manning also states that by 1981, the date the book was published, Martin Bormann sat atop an "organizational pyramid that dominates the industry of West Germany through banks, voting rights enjoyed by majority shareholders in significant cartels, and the professional input of a relatively young leadership group of lawyers, investment specialists, bankers and industrialists, he is satisfied that he achieved his aim of helping the fatherland back on its feet.  To ensure continuity of purpose and direction, a close watch is maintained on the profit statements and management reports of corporations under its control.  This leadership group of twenty, which is in fact a board of directors, is chaired by Bormann but power has shifted... [to them]." If anyone can add further to this story I would be interested to hear from them.
