PERMINDEX

[Jan Klimkowski]

I found this allegation somewhere:

"Permindex was mainly financed by oil companies and Halliburton…
"George and Herman Brown of Brown and Root also invested in Permindex. Also involved were attorney Roy Cohn and former German General Walter Dohrnberger…


Do we have any concrete evidence to prove the above claim or it is just an unfounded rumour?

Vasilios - good questions.

My post #5 above includes what is claimed as a list of Permindex's founding board, on incorporation in Switzerland in 1958.

The source of this list is Dope Inc, which is a LaRouche publication. That does not mean the information is false. However, a corroborating source would be welcome.

Now, assuming the list of board members is correct, it contains Jean Menu de Ménil, president of Schlumberger Limited (the world's largest oilfield services company)

Jean Menu de Ménil changed his name to John de Menil in 1962, on acquiring US citizenship. John de Menil married Dominique Schlumberger in 1931, and later became President of Schlumberger Overseas (Middle and Far East) and Schlumberger Surenco (Latin America).

Fwiw there's a wiki history of Schlumberger here.

Schlumberger is often presented by MSM as the primary European competitor to Halliburton.

Personally, I consider the Evica/Drago hypothesis of, I paraphrase, "key players who were above Cold War differences", to be worth considering here.

Note also that Permindex President, Louis Bloomfield, was a key link between British intelligence (Special Operations Executive, SOE) and American intelligence (OSS), and appears to have had a direct line to William "Intrepid" Stephenson.

And this intriguing claim:

Accusations of Permindex's involvement in the financing for the 1962 Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS) assassination attempt on French President Charles De Gaulle prompted the removal of Bloomfield's name from the letterhead of his law firm in 1968.[10][11]
