COL. RUSSELL HERMAN *NOT* ACTIVE IN GOVT.-CONDONED DRUG DEALS
=============================================================
Mrs. Russell Herman Responds to Allegations
-------------------------------------------
Regarding allegations made by "Mr. Mercedes" (pseudonym) in CN
9.97, to whit that
"Big Al" Carone was the "bagman" for NYPD, friend of DCI
Bill Casey, and "banker" for the CIA's drugs op from
1946-80 (died of "CIA flu"), along with other "bagmen"
associates, Russell Herman (also died of "CIA flu") and
"fixer/briber" Al Hobert and NYPD "dirty" cop Gene Howard
who were all "on the take,"
Mrs. Russell Herman, widow of the late Col. Herman, responds:
Did Col. Russell Herman have an active part in the DRUGS
with BUSH, NORTH, Greenspan, Baker, Bentsen, Inyoue, Meese,
Colby, Casey, etc? *Highly* *doubtful*. *He* *was*
*highly* *opposed* *to* *any* *form* *of* *DRUGS*, *even*
*an* *ASPIRIN*.
In my September 13, 1995 interview with retired NYPD Vice Squad
Detective Jimmy Rothstein (see especially CN 6.10 and CN 6.18),
the now private investigator mentioned Russell Herman:
We also know, there's a thing that just appeared in the
National Enquirer wherein they're knocking a guy by the
name of Russell Herman. And we know that Russell Herman
met *with* [Vince] Foster at a truck stop outside of
Marion, Illinois. And the widow of this Herman has given
us that information. And they also, at times, met with
others. See, we know that Russell Herman and a guy by the
name of Al Carone were money-men -- carriers, movers. See,
this is somethin' that nobody else knows about: but one of
the people they met with was Foster!
Mrs. Herman, understandably upset at what she perceived as
misrepresentation, responded to this portion of Detective
Rothstein's remarks (CN 6.17):
"It is not known by me, what Mr. Rothstein is sniffing,
inhaleing or puffing, however this is most assuredly not a
conversation which was held between Myself and Mr.
Rothstein -- at anytime. I have had a talk with this
individual, and my talk was about: TELLING A DAMMED LIE!
After talking to Mr. Rothstein, advising him of his mis-
information he was requested to "get the story straight,"
and that he was to quit selling information on Russell
Herman, as the information which he is distributing is
"deliberate dis- information.
Contacted by me, Rothstein expressed puzzlement at Mrs. Herman's
anger. He felt he had accurately reported information given to
him by her. Mrs. Herman claimed (CN 6.17) to have tape-recorded
at least some of her conversations with Rothstein and that she
could "prove what was said."
Providing further background to the Herman story are the
following remarks from my September 13, 1995 interview.
According to Rothstein, Russell Herman had inside financial
knowledge related to alleged CIA shady operations:
See, there's only a couple of guys that know about these
accounts and stuff. And they have a lot of money stashed.
This is why I give some credibility about some of the stuff
that's coming out on Foster, about his involvement with
this money.
Again, if this sounds like it's all spread out all over the
place, it's not. When you follow Al Carone and Russell
Herman, you're right back to Inslaw and PROMIS software and
all these people. It always ends up, as you go up the
ladder, you'll find there's, like, forty, fifty people.
And I don't care what end of this you look at, you always
end up with these same people.
I also know that [Michael] Riconosciuto and some other
people had access. Because we have found some of these
accounts. And under Russell Herman and Al Carone, there's
more accounts that we actually have the names of. The
Anschbacher accounts, is one of the big money laundering
accounts.
For my part I wish to stress that this dispute between Jimmy
Rothstein and Mrs. Herman is a developing story, with no clear
indication as to which of the parties to the dispute is the more
credible. As always, I leave it to the reader to either decide
or to await further developments.
Contacted by Mrs. Herman subsequent to mention of her late
husband in the article by "Mr. Mercedes," she informed me that a
copy of a letter written by her was enroute to my address. Here
are portions of that letter:
REF: "Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 9 Num. 97."
Last evening I received the above referenced article. You
were in error when you identified Russell Herman along with
the "Drug and Money Laundering of the CIA." Yes, Rusty was
with the CIA. He was U.S. Armed Forces Intelligence. He
started out in the Merchant Marines when he was 13 years
old. His mother lied about his age. She had too many
mouths to feed. Putting him in the Merchant Marines as I
understood it was getting him off the [Al] CAPONE streets
and into an environment where he could get an education and
stay out of trouble.
I believe it was April of 1940 he entered the Merchant
Marines, then on Dec. 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor was bombed.
President Roosevelt by Executive Order moved the Merchant
Marines into the U.S. Coast Guard. Later by Executive
Order he placed the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, Army into the
United States Land and Naval Forces. Then Korea broke out.
We had a "Police Action," so they say. By that time, Harry
Truman had put him [Russell Herman] in the OSS, which later
became the OSI then the CIA. Rusty was a personal friend
of Harry Truman's. He admired Mr. Truman to the day he
died.
President Reagan, after becoming President, pulled off the
Iran-Contra arms deal. The "Contra Arms" involves and
involved more than just Iran. It involved selling arms (by
the U.S. government) to our sister nations here on the
American continent.
Banking had to be set up. Banking facilitations were put
into action by the Inter-American Alliance Agreement
(Treaty) in (I think) 1984. It is documented in the U.S.
Government Document Library.
"Rusty," doing his "duty" for his "country," per the
instructions of the President of the United States, worked
with Alan Greenspan (while still located in his Texas
Federal Reserve position), George Bush, Ed Meese, Dan
Inyoue, Oliver North, William Casey, William Colby, Robert
Carderia, Dr. "Q," and others.
The Federal Reserve (Greenspan) utilized the banking
co-ordinances between Republic National Bank of Texas, and
Republic National Bank of New York, for the Anschbacher
Account: "CI-Ltd." (Central Intelligence Ltd.) in the
Jersey/Guernsey Islands. The account number is 608103047.
The bank officer for handling the "CI-Ltd." account was
Terrence (Teddy) Lloyd.
As understood by me, this is the Woodbridge Account. It
(according to U.S. Col. Russell Herman) holds the "Contra
monies." I do not know if it is the Iran-Contra or the
Central American Contra monies, he just stated it was the
Contra Arms monies due the men for their services.
According to Col. Herman, the account can only be accessed
by voice and fingerprints.
Did Col. Russell Herman have an active part in the DRUGS
with BUSH, NORTH, Greenspan, Baker, Bentsen, Inyoue, Meese,
Colby, Casey, etc? *Highly* *doubtful*. *He* *was*
*highly* *opposed* *to* *any* *form* *of* *DRUGS*, *even*
*an* *ASPIRIN*.
