Goldman Hires Ex-NATO Chief to Guard $1.5 Billion Danish Stake

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has hired Anders Fogh
Rasmussen, a former prime minister of Denmark and
ex-NATO chief, to help tackle the political
hurdles the bank has encountered since buying into a state utility last year.
Rasmussen, who governed Denmark from 2001 until
2009 and stepped down from NATO last year, is
being brought on as a consultant at the Wall
Street bank as the government prepares to release
a series of confidential documents on Goldman’s
purchase of a stake in Dong Energy A/S.
Michael Ulveman, who works with Rasmussen in
their newly formed consultancy, confirmed the
appointment after it was reported by local
newspaper Berlingske. Sebastian Howell, a
spokesman for Goldman, declined to comment.
Finance Minister Claus Hjort Frederiksen said
this week he will grant access to documents on
the bidding process for Dong that his
predecessor, Bjarne Corydon, said were too
sensitive to share with a parliament committee
appointed to oversee the deal. Goldman’s merchant
banking unit paid about $1.5 billion in 2014 for
an 18 percent stake in Dong. Danish pension funds
ATP and PFA A/S also invested in the utility as part of the same accord.
The agreement caused a rift in the former Social
Democrat-led coalition, culminating in the
departure of a junior member, the Socialist
People’s Party. The administration was ousted in
June elections, paving the way for a Liberal
government led by Lars Loekke Rasmussen. He
served as finance minister under Fogh Rasmussen
and was also prime minister from 2009 until 2011.
New Deal?
Rene Christensen, a spokesman for the Danish
People’s Party which lobbied to have the
documents released, said there’s no risk their
contents might trigger political demands that a new deal be negotiated.
“Altering the deal isn’t really what it’s about,”
Christensen said by phone. “It’s about having had
a finance minister who said he couldn’t trust the
committee.” Denmark’s lawmakers deserve to know
“what was so important about this deal that we
weren’t allowed to see more details,” he said.
Martin Hintze, a partner at Goldman who sits on
the board of Dong, was quoted by Berlingske as
saying the bank has no objections to having the documents made public.
PFA, Denmark’s biggest commercial pension fund,
said on Wednesday it sees no reason to keep the documents secret.
“As we’ve said in the past, we in principle
believe that it’s not appropriate to disclose the
contents of a confidential set of negotiations
and a confidential agreement,” Anders Damgaard,
an executive at PFA, said in a statement. “But we
have no problems with the deal being presented to the finance committee.”

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that
shall not be made known. What I tell you in
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
