Lyme Disease and the SS Elbrus

Overview

In a quest to uncover the origin of Lyme disease, the author zeroed in on Russia's fur shipping industry and its New York brokerage, AMTORG Trading Company. FBI mole, Robert Hanssen was simultaneously assigned to monitor AMTORG in Project Pocketwatch under the Clinton Administration overseeing the Russian Counter Intelligence Desk. Verdon's FBI FOIAs were stonewalled a dozen years, greatly impeding her research; other files simply vanished. Unbeknownst to the author at that time, spy Hanssen had forked over some 60,000 pages to the Russians, many originals. AMTORG's founder, Russia's most favored fur dealer, Armand Hammer, hired accountant Arthur Andersen to head his new oil venture, Occidental Petroleum. Together, Ken Lay (Nixon's Undersecretary of Energy and future CEO of ENRON), Andersen, and Hammer ushered in a new Detente with Russia and Red China. For the privilege of the US Export Import Bank subsidizing Oxy's Siberian gas pipeline, Hammer would be obliged to make illegal campaign contributions funneled to the Watergate burglars. Had the history of the USSR's biological warfare program been destroyed to preserve Detente and placate Hammer, or worse, cover up a terrorist network? Forced to seek a historical witness to the Soviet-Nazi collaboration in dispersing tick borne diseases of the nervous system, I.G. Farben's chemist, Henry Tolkmith, fit the bill. Recruited under Operation Paperclip for DOW Chemical as a pesticide/poison gas specialist, most likely Tolkmith was protected under the 100 Person's Act. Tolkmith's real identity became suspect when perusing his WW II files. Conflicting physical descriptions, simultaneous sightings in the USA and USSR and double entry to the States raised alarms. Was Tolkmith the infamous Death Angel of Auschwitz, Josef Mengele, an expert in Lyme, Multiple Sclerosis and poison gases? Interviewed, Tolkmith denied his dossier photos were of himself and conveniently died. Had Josef's brother, Karl, been uncovered in the Brazilian grave at Sao Paulo? Had these two look-a-likes been switched at birth and switched at death? The Brazilian Mengele held ties to Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie of ODESSA, a drug and arms dealer serving a network of international terrorists and the mujaheddin. Arthur Andersen's new client, ENRON, had hired dope-peddling terrorists, al Qaeda, to guard its Afghan pipeline. Poppy-field potheads are a pathetic, fickle army against Communism. The FBI could not keep track of these terrorists at home or abroad, its mole was busy at work. Just after spy Hanssen's arrest on February 17, 2001, Attorney General Ashcroft created the Strategic Management Council, headed by Arthur Andersen to re-organize the antiquated FBI, soon to be followed by the attack on 9/11. A month later, ENRON imploded, 26 trunk loads of files were shredded. Did Arthur Andersen pick up where Hanssen left off? The man who can solve the mystery of Lyme Disease and the SS Elbrus as well as ENRON and 9/11 may well be the FBI's top mole, Robert Hanssen.
