The Gold House
Author: John Clarence
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780983402527
Category : Conspiracies
Languages : en
Pages : 768
Book Description
The Gold House, The Lies, The Thefts proves that millions of dollars in gold were stolen from the Noss treasure shortly after 1958, thefts carried out with the knowledge of certain individuals in the military at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. These thefts were cloaked with a top-secret classification to mask the criminal nature of the military’s activities. This highly documented investigation provides overwhelming evidence that should be known to every American who cares about their country and the ideals upon which this nation was founded. The most highly documented account that gold was illegally removed from the Noss treasure occurred during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend in November 1973 when 36.5 tons of gold was stolen from the treasure; evidence points to President Richard Nixon’s involvement. As startling as Nixon’s alleged connection to the mega-million-dollar theft was, so too was the elaborate cover-up in 1974 by Major General Arthur H. Sweeney, Jr., White Sands’ commanding general at the time. Evidence that the 1973 extraction occurred include: 1) An FBI document regarding the theft disclosed, “...two individuals at The First National Bank in Albuquerque were handling the sale of the gold and that Handy & Harman’s secondary refinery in El Monte, California, was handling the sale of the gold overseas.” 2) Warehouse receipts describing a large number of steel drums containing the stolen gold, backed up by an FBI report describing the contents of the drums as “ingots.” On four of the seventy-two steel drums the “Warehouse Receipt Holder” was “FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN ALBUQUERQUE.” 3) A series of nine money-laundering agreements used to convert the stolen gold and disguise its origin. 4) Evidence that a CIA operative was used as the courier to move the stolen gold out of the United States. 5) The involvement of top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman. 6) The cover-up of the theft by agent Herb Greathouse of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. These allegations are supported by a large number of letters, official government documents, affidavits, money-laundering agreements, and many interviews.
