The sordid history of Gold. Like Social Security, USAID et al., all misdirected and stolen.
This war chest would be known by several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s
Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, the Durham Trust or Project Hammer.3
Numerous sources have documented that at the end of World War Two, the treasury of the Japanese Empire was
discovered in the Philippines by a staff member of General Charles Willoughby, who was General MacArthur’s
chief of Intelligence. Then known as the Golden Lily Treasure, this mass of wealth had been accumulated by the
Japanese with over fifty years of its army pillaging Southeast Asia and China. It was deposited in the Philippines
due to the U.S. submarine blockade of Japan. Reports vary, but documents in the public domain suggest the
recovered treasure was in excess of 280,000 metric tonnes of gold, not including jewels and diamonds. 40 After the
War that staff member, Edward Lansdale and Severino Garcia Diaz Santa Romana tortured Major Kojima Kashii -
General Yamashita Tomoyuki’s driver –until he revealed and created a map of the gold sites.41
Lansdale briefed Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy about the findings, and a U.S. Cabinet level decision
was made to confiscate the gold and cover-up its discovery. The gold would be added to the Black Eagle Trust fund.
It was McCloy, along with Secretary of the Navy Robert B. Anderson and Secretary of War Henry L Stimson who
created the Black Eagle Trust.42 John McCloy, who had shared a box at the 1939 Olympics with Adolph Hitler,
went on to become President of the World Bank. Robert Anderson would go on to operate the Commercial
Exchange Bank in the British West Indies, be convicted of running illegal banking operations and tax evasion, and
be sentenced to prison. 43 A fourth member of that group – William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan – would go on to found the
CIA, distribute the gold to key banks represented by his staffers, and establish AIG as a key partner in the CIA’s
covert operations.
Lansdale and Santa Romana were made responsible for recovery of the treasure. They fabricated a “Communist
Revolution” by the Hukbalahak rebels in order to confiscate the land where much of the gold was buried, and
proceeded to mine it.56 Several sites sit on Clark Air Force Base.57 Over the years, Lansdale’s personal account in
Zurich grew to over thirty thousand metric tonnes – greater than the national treasury of any modern nation state.
Santa Romana had multiple accounts, the largest single account was valued at over 20,000 metric tonnes. While
these accounts were created in their names, over time it would be shown these were actually government accounts.
As a point of reference, the annual gold production of the world is estimated to be 1,200 tonnes, and in 1980 the
U.S. gold repository at Fort Knox held only 8,221 tonnes. There has been no public report of the Fort Knox
inventory since 1980
Lansdale’s operation in the Philippines gave birth to most of the common features of modern covert operations for
U.S. Intelligence: bribery, theft, torture, and false flag operations. It would be Lansdale who would initiate a bond
between the US intelligence organizations and the Israeli intelligence. It would be Lansdale that would set
precedents for the Intelligence community to retain the services of organized crime on U.S. soil. Lansdale would
hire American Mafia family heads Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano in the
U.S. war against Fidel Castro in 1961, much as he would hire the Italian Mafia families to wage an illegal operation
against the Italian Communist party.
