Tinfoil hats on, please.
I just read a review of a bit of journalism on Armand Hammer. The reviewed book is “DOSSIER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF ARMAND HAMMER” by Edward Jay Epstein
What I didn’t expect to see where connections between him, the Ruskies, Hoover and Occidental Petroleum. Turns out Al Gore Senior was, at first the political face for Armand Hammer’s empire: one built on secret multi-generational family relationships with the Communists (WHHHhhhaaaa?). Apparently Hammer was a secret Commie and son of a not so secret commie. He made his fortune, according to the reviewed book, through backroom dealings with the Communists, essentially helping to secretly set up their access to the capitalist marketplace, especially acting as launderer for Communist funds inside the US.
The under-funded Gore the Senior’s career was started with Hammer’s money – and therefore tainted by Communist influence on some level. Hoover opened a file on the organization, scrawling ‘a rotten bunch’ across the top way back in 1919. When Senator Gore retired, he went to work for Hammer’s Occidental Petroleum. Before retiring, Gore served (no irony here!!) as chairman of the ‘Special Committee on Attempts to Influence Senators’ during the 84th Congress (chuckle).
Soo.. The Bush’s were created by dirty dealings with the fascists, the Gores with the Commies..
Kinda makes Joe Kennedy’s rum-running look all the more mainstream American by comparison!
Which mass murdering autocrats did YOUR grandfather make shady deals with to attain the pinnacle of power? None? Too bad. Probably explains a lot.
