German filmmaker Ziri Rideaux is currently getting ready to shoot the feature film Project Hammer in Johannesburg, South Africa, a political suspense thriller based on her true story as a journalist.
Anyone familiar with the "Project"?
For two decades accusations against the FW de Klerk government have been flying about. Many people have been whispering behind their hands about huge sums of money being paid over by Swiss bank accounts to National Party politicians and government operators to hand over the South African government to the African National Congress (ANC).
For 18 years nothing could be proven. Until now.
CITIBANK:
General Erle Cocke ran Nugan Hand Bank’s Washington office. In April 2000, Cocke gave a deposition running to 67 pages concerning his knowledge and involvement in Project Hammer. Ten days later he died from Pancreatic cancer. His explosive deposition reveals him as a very significant and highly connected player in a world few of us are familiar with. (David Guyatt).
Cocke related in his statement how Citibank was used as halfway stop for dodgy financial dealings in “black gold” through *Project Hammer:
“…30 some odd accounts together.”
Asked where these accounts were located, Cocke responded saying:
“In almost one solid block at Citibank.”
PROJECT HAMMER:
Project Hammer was a desperate undertaking by the USA government to rescue some of its major banks, who, by the end of the 1980’s, faced insolvency. These banks included Citibank, HSBC, Chase Manhatten and the Bank of New York.
The project was designed to cipher gold and diamonds as collateral as an emergency buoy for the ailing banks and to put the USA’s economy on track again.
Way too long to post the rest...but would rather discuss.
