Reply #6: Not much more to tell - Olmstead - as are many - was aware of the current [View All]

fake accounts that make up the CIA/NSA budget under false names in other areas of the budget - and of the accounts in financial institutions owned by the CIA/NSA for storage of money to be used as needed, and of the companies owned by the CIA, and of the CIA's media influence and corporate influence by people's names.

All of that is now 20 plus year old info and is perhaps still classified I suspect (I have no current knowledge of the CIA/NSA/etc folks beyond knowing, or knowing of, a few folks who work there).

I thought Olstead was bull shitting me at first, but I worked in finance and met a few international folk that without promting suggested as facts that which Olmstead had claimed. Perhaps our secrets are secret only in the US - which would make contrary info mere propaganda. But I do not know. I believe I am far enough away from the actual information to make what I say/post "mere old staff speculation" and not the breaking of any classified info rules. At least I hope so.

In any case, a used car dealer from the midwest by way of political contributions to Ike while he was still a General (can we say illegal slush fund) became an appointed General in the Army, a member of Ike's administration, a cog in the atomic bomb developement worldwide, a buyer of property from the Mafia in DC with Government wink/wink approval, the buyer of property from Pakistan ruling families via London Banks and two key account crap, the owner of the operation that legally flaged ships of other nations as a "service" provided by his International Bank Group, a conduit for oil money that fought off other oil money conduits - one led by Bert Lance of the Carter days - for control of DC banking institutions, and was a leading GOP voice, dinning with Reagan on many Thursdays at the WH (and very proud of that) that became written up when you do any Lexis search only for a maritime law article written in Australia.

Olmstead was an amazing character lurking in the shadows who had fun and made a few ten's of millions, but never got really rich.

Did I mention he was right wing and that I disliked him?

My near 10 years with him was interesting at least.
