September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

sources to explain a majority of the German trades (and possibly trades by US banks as
well), and these flows will be documented in this report:
• 3,000 tonnes of gold stolen from Russia by the KGB, a theft made public in
September 1991 by Grigory Yavlinski;
• 40 tonnes of Czech gold;
• an undisclosed amount of Third Reich (Nazi) gold stolen from the Holocaust victims
and their survivors as well as undisclosed treasury gold removed from the banks of
conquered countries;
• at least 1,000 tonnes of Philippines gold from the Marcos family, which had
previously been the wealth of the Japanese Imperial family hidden during World War
II.. (Some estimates of this Golden Lily treasury reach up towards 60,000 tonnes.)
"Approximately 1,000 tons of the loot was liberated by Ferdinand Marcos before his ouster. Billions
of dollars worth were shipped overseas by American intelligence agents and the Mafia. Much of the
horde was cabbaged away in a high-security, subterranean storage cache buried beneath the Zurich
airport. This vault was once used to conceal European gold from Hitler’s greedy SS scavengers.
Fifty years later, some of the same bullion has found its way into the campaign coffers of ultraconservative
political candidates in the U.S., according to the Las Vegas Sun. But Marcos didn’t
recover the lion’s share of the pelf. A six-month series in the Sun reported in 1993 that Marcos
abandoned thousands of tons of gold hidden in his homeland. Gary Thompson, the newspaper’s
former managing editor, and journalist Steve Kanigher published copies of gold certificates from
Credit Suisse, deposit records from the Union Bank of Switzerland the correspondence of Corazon
Aquino and letters to Reagan administration officials documenting witness accounts that lackeys of
the CIA and Army Special Forces carted off an unknown quantity of the bullion…. Citibank was
drawn into the operation to negotiate ownership of a Philippine gold horde secreted in the
Bahamas…. From the balmy islands, Imelda Marcos was heaving billions of dollars in gold on the
black market, frantically, before the remains of their tin dictatorship was seized by the courts. The
sudden infusion of Philippine gold on the world market threatened to depress the already-sagging
price of the metal. This cabal settled on a drastic solution - a strategic terrorist act staged to drive up
the price of gold. " [Saudi Entrepeneur Adnan Khashoggi Linked to 9/11 Terrorists, Alex

While the early reports of this Philippine treasure were generally regarded by the media
as rumor, the story was subsequently well substantiated by the reporting of David Guyatt
and others. A major source for this documentation was a death bed statement by
Brigadier-General Erle Cocke, in April 2000. Cocke was a banker before he became a
black operative. He had worked as a “fixer” for "every President since Truman."
Additionally, he was an Alternate Executive Director of the World Bank for four years, a
member of the US delegation to the UN for two years running, with the pay and rank of a
US Ambassador, a Knight of Malta and a Shriner Mason. According to these sources:
"the OSS--the wartime forerunner of America's spy agency, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-began
recovering the bullion plundered from a dozen or so nations. This bullion formed what became
known as the "Black Eagle" fund, which was part of a secret agreement eclipsed behind the 1944
Bretton Woods Agreement. Consequently, the metal was placed under the care of OSS (and later CIA)
operative Severino Garcia Santa Romana, who put it under the control of numerous corporate entities
he formed for the purpose. These entities, in turn, proceeded to establish 176 bank accounts in 42
different countries in which to deposit these assets under private treaty agreement……. Santa Romana
died in 1974, and following his death his former attorney and trustee was able to "acquire"
