Schlumberger is an arm of one of Europe's most important banking and
intelligence operations. Banque de Neuflize, Schlumberger, Mallet,
Demachy, now a unit of ABN AMRO, is one of those small but important
merchant banks which specializes in shaping world events. The
families behind the bank have a long history of molding the
Synarchist movement as an assault-force against the United States,
from the spying of Major André in 1780 to the assassination of JFK.
Today, as an indication of its continuing intelligence activities,
Schlumberger's board includes former CIA Director John Deutch.
Schlumberger also helped bring Fidel Castro to power by helping
overthrow the Batista regime. It was involved in the assassination of
Kennedy through company president Jean de Menil, the White Russian
husband of Schlumberger heiress Dominique Schlumberger de Menil,
acting through the New Orleans office of the Swiss-based company
Permindex. Permindex had also organized several attempts on the life
of French President Charles de Gaulle.
There are indications that both Halliburton and Brown & Root were
also involved in Permindex. According to the Nomenclature of an
Assassination Cabal manuscript written under the nom de
plume "William Torbitt," both Halliburton and George and Herman Brown
were among the principal financiers of Permindex, along with Jean de
Menil, mob lawyer Roy Cohn, Dallas oilman H.L. Hunt, and others.
Over the years, EIR has confirmed many aspects of the Torbitt
manuscript and finds these claims credible, and if the claims about
Halliburton and the Browns are true, then it puts Halliburton and
Brown & Root firmly in the Synarchy camp, before their merger, and
some three decades before Dick Cheney took over the company. It would
also confirm the Schlumberger link and suggest that, rather than
being a rival, Halliburton is more of a clone and junior partner of
Schlumberger.
Halliburton and Brown & Root do have direct links to two of the most
important merchant banks in the world, Lazard and Rothschild, both of
which serve as controllers of the Synarchist movement. Lazard banker
James Glanville sat on the Halliburton board in the 1980s, as did
Lord Polwarth of the Royal Bank of Scotland; another British lord,
Lord Clitheroe, has been on the Halliburton board since 1987. Brown &
Root was one of the companies centered around First City Bancorp. of
Houston and the Vinson & Elkins law firm. First City, which was
founded by Vinson & Elkins founder James Elkins, was identified by
1976 House Banking Committee report as part of the Rothschild banking
network. Vinson & Elkins was the outside counsel for Enron, whose
board included Lord John Wakeham, the former British Energy Minister
who joined the board of N.M. Rothschild after he left government
service. Enron's accountant, Arthur Andersen, also handled
Halliburton, and there have been suggestions that Halliburton engaged
in some Enronesque accounting of its own under Cheney.
Halliburton also has strong intelligence ties, notably through the
presence on its board from 1977 through 2000 of the King Ranch's Anne
Armstrong, who chaired the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board (PFIAB) from 1981 until 1990, in addition to a stint as U.S.
Ambassador to Great Britain, and her long-standing role as chairman
of the executive committee at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS), a powerful Washington think-tank.
Armstrong's successor as Halliburton's top spook is Ray Hunt, one of
five Dresser directors to join the Halliburton board. Hunt, the son
of reputed Permindex funder H.L. Hunt, was appointed to the PFIAB by
President George W. Bush in October 2001. Oilman Hunt is also a
trustee of the CSIS and a director of the King Ranch, suggesting that
Hunt is taking the retiring Armstrong's spot in a long-standing Texas
intelligence network. Hunt is also a trustee of the George Bush
Presidential Library and a former chairman of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas.
Another of the directors who came over from Dresser was Lawrence
Eagleburger, the former U.S. Secretary of State and president of
Kissinger Associates.
