Elmer Holmes Bobst was an American businessman and deep state actor who worked in the pharmaceutical industry, especially successful with vitamins. Apart from working with working with both legal and illegal drugs and former SS officers, and being an alleged VIPaedophile, Bobst was the guiding hand behind Richard Nixon.

Career

From a modest background, starting in 1920 he worked his way up the Hoffman-LaRoche (later Roche-Nutley) pharmaceutical company, becoming one of the best paid executives in the country when he retired in 1944. Of relevance is that the company supplied morphine to the underworld, something Bobst - according to his own autobiography at least - had difficulty persuading his superiors in Switzerland that they should stop.

Three years before he retired in 1944 he was fined $3,000 in Federal Court on a charge of conspiring with German and other European interests to restrain the import and manufacture of medical hormones.

During World War II he was a member of several pharmaceutical and chemical committees in Washington, and also with the Committee on Penicillin Development.

In 1945 he took charge of the ailing William Warner Company (later Warner-Lambert) and he remained board chairman, where he helped raise its volume from $30‐million a year to $350‐million. His personal wealth was such that he had a $700,000 yacht and a 15‐ room apartment in Sutton Place.

Bobst was active in nutritional and vitamin sales, before embarking on sponsoring work in the field of cancer. He worked with many groups with interest in these studies, sponsored research on drug products and contributed to the development of many drugs. He was a leader in the "war on cancer", and a driving force behind former President Nixon's signing of the National Cancer Act in 1971., which transformed the National Cancer Institute at Bethesda into a new monolithic government bureaucracy. Under Nixon’s National Cancer Program, the National Cancer Institute took over Fort Detrick - the world’s largest and most active biological weapons facility. Bobst was a member of the National Advisory Cancer Council of the National Cancer Institute.

Richard Nixon

Bobst was close to former SS-officer Otto Albrecht von Bolschwing, who had become an agent for the Gehlen Organization. When von Bolschwing entered the U.S. in February, 1954, he cleverly concealed his Nazi past. He became closely associated with the Bobst, which brought him inside Nixon's 1960 campaign for the presidency.

Bobst had close connections to President Dwight Eisenhower, and was also a close friend of President Richard Nixon, a major financial backer contributing generously to their campaigns and helping to guide Nixon's career. His recommendation helped Nixon get a job at the Wall Street he worked from 1963 to 1968, and said Nixon "is like a son to me."

In a letter to Nixon, he wrote "Jews have troubled the world from the very beginning. If this beloved country of ours ever falls apart, the blame rightly should be attributed to the malicious action of Jews in complete control of our communications."

He was responsible for installing Maryland Governor Spiro Agnew as Nixon's vice-presidential running mate.

In 1970, the New York Times described how "Arrayed around the President is a small, exclusive fraternity of friends outside the government who are privy to Mr. Nixon's personal life and who exercise an indirect, though vital influence on his official life.... Prominent in that elite coterie are Elmer H. Bobst, honorary chairman of the Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Co.; Donald M. Kendall, chairman and chief executive officer of PepsiCo Inc.; Hobart D. Lewis, editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest; W. Clement Stone, Chicago insurance magnate; Robert H. Abplanalp, inventor of the aerosol valve; evangelist Billy Graham; Jack Drown, Los Angeles newspaper and magazine distributor; and C.G. (Bebe) Rebozo, Florida realtor and banker."

Alleged paedophile

Bobst was also an alleged pedophile. Two of his relatives came forward after his death in 1978 alleging that he had sexually abused them. A suit brought by his granddaughter, Anne Bobst Highly, against Bobst's estate in 1991 was tossed out because of a 1978 settlement that she accepted from Elmer's widow, Mamdouha. A previous suit, filed by Bobst's great grand daughter Sharon Haymes, was also rejected.

Marriages

His first wife Ethel Rose Bobst died in 1954. In 1961 Bobst married the much younger Mamdouha As‐Sayyid (born 1925), a former social scientist with the Lebanese delegation to the United Nations.

He might have been a member of the Knight of Malta.
