As the clues provided by the ONI documents are detailed, one recognizes the name of a
familiar organization identified with most of the illegal activity in this report - the
Deutschebank. A key question becomes: did the US get involved in a joint venture with
Russia? The answer is yes! – through the “Russian American Enterprise Fund” set up at
the request of George Bush and Gerald Corrigan, President of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York
In subsequent economic negotiations with the G7 heads of state, what resulted was an
amazing concession by Yeltsin to the US, allowing it to be the chief architect of its
privatization plan by which state industries would be ultimately owned by anonymous
shell companies in off-shore banks. The amazing aspect at the time was there was no
immediately apparent financial concession from the U.S. in exchange for this very
significant opportunity. Palms & Co. had profiles of over 200 Russian defense enterprises
which were eligible for acquisition. Funding for this privatization was arranged to come
from:
• Sovlink Fund (Solomon Brothers, Investment Banker, New York)
