Multi Bilderberg. Assassinated

Alfred Herrhausen was a Germany's most powerful banker[1] and member of the Bilderberg Steering committee. His personal security detail was on the level of the Federal Chancellor of Germany.[2] He was assassinated on his way to work "in a military operation of a complexity without precedent",[3] after pushing for third world debt cancellation from late 1987 on.[4][5]

Career

Alfred Herrhausen was Chairman of Deutsche Bank.

Dept cancelation of "third world" countries

Alfred Herrhausen proposed and pushed for a large scale cancellation of African countries' debts and he was in a position to succeed in these "new ideas" which may have threatened the basic concept of dept enslavement or control of politics (open markets to foreign "investors") of these counties.[6][7] He positioned his bank beforehand in a way that if the proposal would come to pass, it would not suffer from financial difficulties as severely as the American counterparts.[8][9] He also wanted to prepare a development policy for eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, thus excluding, or rivaling US efforts in that area.

Connections

Herrhausen was a member of the Bilderberg Steering committee.

Assassination

On November 30th 1989, a sophisticated bomb killed Herrhausen on his way to work, just about half a mile from his home. The bomb had been hidden in a saddle bag on a bicycle next to the road that the assassins knew Herrhausen would be traveling in his three-car convoy. In the bag was a 15 lb bomb that was detonated when Herrhausen's car interrupted a beam of infrared light as it passed the bicycle. The beam of infrared light had been disguised as road works forcing a slow down of the armored car enabling a precision strike.[10] Some elements of the technical details are disputed.

For a long time, the German federal prosecutor office listed members of the German terror group Red Army Faction (RAF) as the only suspects, which the media blamed as soon as half an hour after the explosion.[11] However, almost 20 years after the killing prosecutors started to focus more on the involvement of the Stasi, the former East German secret police.

Perpetrators

Red Army Faction

The official narrative laid blame on the third generation of the Red Army Faction for as long as possible, until 2004. Many did not believe the theory to begin with. EIR reports in 1992 about a documentary aired on a public-service television broadcaster:

The German ARD television aired a 45-minute, prime-time documentary on its "In Focus" pro­gram debunking the official police theory that Herrhausen, the Deutsche Bank chairman who was assassinated on Nov. 30, 1989, was the victim of a "third generation" Red Army Faction (RAF) hit squad.[12]

Stasi

Full article: Stasi

At some point during the investigation the focus was directed at the East German Staatssicherheit.[13][14][15]

CIA

Full article: Central Intelligence Agency

Given the sophistication of the bomb and the threat he posed to US interests, the American CIA is a likely, even the most likely perpetrator.[16][17]
