Jew Corrupter: Armand Hammer and the Gore Family

[CrackSmokeRepublican]

Gore Family Tradition Includes Aid From Communist Oil Tycoon

Insight on the News, Nov 20, 2000 | by Mona Charen

 It is hard to conceive that a figure of such international stature as Armand Hammer, who died in 1990 at age 92, could have been as contemptible a swindler as he apparently was, but such is the inescapable conclusion of Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer by Edward Jay Epstein.

A secret agent for the Soviet Union since 1921, Hammer managed to make and lose several fortunes during his long life, along the way skirting investigations of money-laundering, fraud, conspiracy, espionage, bribery and countless other crimes by the FBI, Justice Department, Securities and Exchange Commission and other government agencies. The tale of his serial betrayals (of his family, his religion, his country), endless self-aggrandizement and success at courting the rich and famous makes fascinating reading, but there is a contemporary hook: Hammer loomed very large in the lives of one of America's prominent political families, the Albert Gores.

 Hammer was born in 1898, the son of Dr. Julius Hammer, a committed communist. Julius named his first son Armand for the communist symbol of an arm holding a hammer (Armand later would purchase the baking-soda company because of the coincidence of names).



While his father served time in prison for performing an abortion that led to a woman's death, Armand (who actually had performed the abortion) traveled to Moscow in his stead and met with Vladimir Lenin in 1921. Impressed with his American fan, Lenin gave "Comrade Hammer" a concession to mine asbestos in the Ural Mountains and also assigned him the sensitive task of distributing (and laundering) money for Soviet agents around the United States. Hammer worked closely with the infamous Feliks Dzerzhinski, the first head of the KGB, known then as the Cheka.

  To pursue his work on behalf of the Soviet Union, Hammer set up a number of shell corporations, a pattern that would persist throughout a lifetime. To provide hard currency for the Soviets, he styled himself an art dealer in New York, supposedly selling the "Romanov treasure." In fact, much of it was bric-a-brac and junk carrying phony identification supplied by the Soviets. Despite a lavish personal lifestyle, Hammer never did make any real money (he was near bankruptcy throughout the 1920s and 1930s) until he received another government concession, this time from the U.S. government, to produce alcohol during the World War II.

Hammer was not actually a very good businessman (though he created a myth in the press that he was a billionaire). But he was utterly unscrupulous and very adept at stroking the powerful. When, through the liquor concession, a wife's fortune and other machinations, he was able to achieve great wealth, he immediately used it to purchase political influence. In 1950, he made Rep. Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee a partner in his cattle-breeding business, which brought Gore a substantial profit.

When J. Edgar Hoover considered moving against Hammer for his provable treason, he stayed his hand at least in part because Hammer had friends in high places, including Gore. When he became a senator, the elder Gore remained a Hammer ally and he was rewarded when he lost his bid for re-election. Hammer hired Gore Sr. as an executive of Occidental Petroleum's coal division at a salary of $500,000 per year.

Albert Gore Jr., who claims to be for the people and against the "powerful," controls between $500,000 and $1 million worth of Occidental stock. In keeping with a tradition begun by his father, Gore Jr. invited Hammer to witness the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as his guest.

It is not a crime to hold Occidental stock, nor to be wealthy. But it should send a shiver down the spines of voters to consider that the Gore family's comfort is owed to a treasonous scoundrel.

DOSSIER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF ARMAND HAMMER
by Edward Jay Epstein

Armand Hammer was one of the odder, more odious characters of American business and politics, "famous" chiefly because he was rich enough to promote his mammoth ego. He has met his match in investigative writer Edward Jay Epstein, who performs the ultimate unmasking of a man who deceived, even betrayed, his country, his family and the hired toadies who posed as his friends.

The public persona that Hammer polished, at great expense, was that of a renegade oilman who made billions from Libyan oil, chummed around with politicians up to White House level and adorned acres of galleries with paintings, some priceless, others fake. Hammer's lawyers bedeviled honest journalists who tried to write otherwise while he was alive, and they mostly succeeded. Steve Weinberg, author of an earlier critical biography, estimated to me that his British publisher spent $2 million defending a libel suit; it died when Hammer did, at age 92, in 1990.

But now that the wretch is dead, let's get on with the deferred fun. For Mr. Epstein, the story actually began in 1981, when he interviewed Hammer for the New York Times Magazine. Hammer put on the charm, taking Mr. Epstein to dine with the paper's publisher, Arthur O. "Punch" Sulzberger, and treating him to six months of travel aboard the Oxy One, owned by his Occidental Petroleum.

Unfortunately for Hammer, another of Mr. Epstein's sources, James Jesus Angleton, head of counterintelligence for the Central Intelligence Agency, whispered a tip about a Soviet agent of influence whom a defector identified as "The Capitalist Prince." Mr. Angleton would not accuse Hammer directly but suggested that "another side" of his activities could be found in documents in a 1927 raid on Arcos, the Soviet trade mission in London.  (The stupid Idiot Jews were all in on the Scams together including Epstein who helped cover up Angleton's hits. --The CSR)

Mr. Epstein's Times article suggested that Hammer's trade with the Soviet Union helped Soviet interests, including espionage, but he had no direct proof. Now the evidence is at hand, and in damning detail, straight from old Soviet archives. The account is of a man who bribed and cheated his way to great wealth --- and started with Soviet gold.

I've read the Weinberg biog of Hammer --actually a very flattering account. He never calls Hammer out on anything and goes out of his way to print quotables along the lines of 'yes, Hammer's a rake, but ya gotta admire his verve' sort-of slop. And I think this is the same Epstein who appears in a film doc about the 'Oppenheimers: Diamond Empire' --believe I posted it in here somewhere. Epstein said something that made my hairs tighten up in this film, to the effect of 'a person being deceived is collborating in the deception' and implying that (certain) frauds are therefore victimless. blech! So his career of exposing cretins is merely a sporting event, if its the same Epstein

Hi Jenny,

Concerning Jay Epstein, I'm reminded of this accusation against him for taking part in the murder of George de Mohrenschildt. I think he is definitely a J-Tribe agent working for Israeli Intelligence and Jew Mobsters. He played to hide investigations of the Jewish cabal that killed Kennedy...
Remind you of anyone you know in the 9/11 truth movement...like a guy whose first name is Alex?  

--The CSR

-----------------------------
From Salvador Astucia's book: Opium Lords - Israel, the Golden Triangle and the Kennedy Assassination
----------------
On March 29, 1977, George de Mohrenschildt was found dead of a gunshot blast to
the head at his sister-in-law's fashionable home in Manalapan, Florida. De
Mohrenschildt had been Oswald's handler in Dallas (reference Chapter 6). His death
was ruled suicide.22 He died three hours after arranging to meet investigator, Gaeton
Fonzi,(Footnote 76) from the House Select Committee on Assassinations.23 Earlier that
day, de Mohrenschildt had met with writer Edward Jay Epstein.24
Epstein is a highly suspicious individual. In 1969, he wrote Counterplot which
attacked Garrison and his prosecution of Clay Shaw. Epstein wrote another
propagandistic book, Legend (1978), which pushed the cover story that the Soviet
KGB sponsored the Kennedy assassination, and that Oswald was working for them. In
1966, Epstein wrote Inquest, a mild critique of the Warren Report which was hailed
by the media—a telling indictment of his virtue.

...well, can't get his picture pasted, but we ARE talking about the same E. Jay Epstein. Here's his wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jay_Epstein  Got his master's from Cornell with "Inquest: The Warren Commission and the Establishment of Truth" and went on to Harvard for a PhD writing "The selection of reality on network news"!! --and "as of 2007, he is writing a book on the 9/11 Commission"...

Albert Arnold Gore Sr. was elected to Congress House of Reps in 1938. He was 30 years old (born 12-26-1907) Hammer's biographer, Weinberg, called him "The Kingpin of the TVA", the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was a 'public works' electricity project under FDR that was absolutely critical to the success of the Manhattan Project. The first chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, David Lilienthal, was a governor of the TVA. Gore later served the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy --and used his influence and committee positions to get Hammer into the energy sector, even convincing JFK to appoint Hammer as a "commerce emissary".
Here's a couple websites on Gore and Hammer http://www.larouchepub.com/other/1997/2 ... _gore.html  and http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m ... tBody;col1

Occidental owned Hooker Chemical in Niagra, New York before the toxic nightmare stories broke --Gore Sr. bought his Hooker stock in 1969. The story appears to be a serious indictment against the School Board of the City of Niagra as much as any other involved party --but as this bit from 'answers' suggests, they had more than a year to prepare for the legal backlash --Occidental produced 'original' documents stating a full disclosure and warning was included in the sale of the dump property back in 1953 including clauses absolving Hooker from any future liabilities. It doesn't sound like the architects responsible for the buildings going up (public elementary school) had any knowledge of the buried waste at Love Canal. Regardless, the Love Canal episode led to the establishment of the EPA's Superfund clean-up program, extended to 40,000 designated sites in the US.
LOVE CANAL, from http://www.answers.com/topic/love-canal

In 1976, two reporters for the Niagara Gazette, David Pollak and David Russell, tested several sump-pumps near Love Canal and found toxic chemicals in them. The matter went quiet for more than a year and was resurrected by reporter Michael Brown, who then investigated potential health effects by carrying forth an informal door-to-door survey in the early summer of 1978, finding birth defects and many anomalies. He advised the local residents to create a protest group, which was led by resident Karen Schroeder, whose daughter had a dozen birth defects. The New York State Health Department followed suit and found an abnormal incidence of miscarriages. The dumpsite was declared an unpredecented state emergency on August 2, 1978. Mr. Brown [special award, Environmental Protection Agency], who wrote more than a hundred articles on the dump, also further tested groundwater and later found that the dump was three times the size officials knew, with possible ramifications beyond the original evacuation zone. He was also to discover that highly toxic dioxin was there.

Interesting note about the elder Gore Sr. and the TVA... makes sense -- get ahead by helping the big Zio-Jews in big government.
And they do protect their own. Armand Hammer was definitely carrying out the protocols through Gore Sr. I'm sure Gore Jr. always kept that in mind as well.
