A remarkable new book on 9/11

[David Guyatt]

I'm going to answer my own question. No one really knows who the purported author really is, but I think I may know.

I just Googled E P Heidner and found a dormant blogspot in his name.

When people begin talking about Mrs. V K Durham and reporting her nonsense as the unadulterated truth, I cringe.

There are, in fact, two different and very persistent groups of grifters (to my knowledge anyway) who spend an inordinate amount of time and energy working on publishing stuff like this, as they believe it will help to validate phoney assets they wish to translate into ready cash. At one time or another both groups contacted me in the past.

One of them wanted me to write a book based on their research (as if), the other spent months and months trying to hook me into doing something, but we never reached the point where that something was ever openly stated. Just hints. I told both groups to fuck off after giving a sufficient length of rope to hang themselves. And both did themselves justice in the hanging department, I have to say.

So my best guess is that this guy is a member, probably of the American group, rather than the far eastern group. They were quite political in anti Bush family sense (can't blame them for that) and the bloodspot carries that same theme. They used to use telephone services so you could never locate where they were domiciled, and drop box addresses, for the same reason.

I might be entirely wrong about this writer, but the Durham name along with the Russell Hermann name suggests he's from the same sort of camp.

Dave, you're one of three experts in the World [that I know of] on the Black Eagle Trust [and related matters]....so can you tell, if you know or suspect, what the ultimate purpose of the papers are? Are you questioning some of the information? [and if yes, as bad research, or with an agenda; and if with an agenda - what agenda?!] Thanks.

I haven't read them yet...just downloaded and quickly scanned through. Some stuff looks OK at first blush...some looks skewed a bit; perhaps what is missing is more important than what is there....I'll have a closer look, but am interested in your 'take'.

many years ago now, I was in contact with Durham, both by phone and email. I found her claims to be simply preposterous. I can't write in a public forum what I truly think of her, as it would litigable.

During the 12 ands more years I was digging into the gold story - and I merely scratched the surface (its like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle when most parts of the jigsaw are missing and you have no picture as a frame of reference), I learned a number of things. Firstly to trust no one involved. Absolutely no one. Secondly, there are a vast number of players who have personal agendas. The usual one is greed. Mention the word "gold" and all the grifters, conmen, and easy money dreamers of the world flood out of the woodwork.

As an example, I was contacted by a former Marcos henchman, a well known heartless and ruthless killer, who wanted me to intercede on his behalf with the Union Bank of Switzerland to gain access to his gold stash/payoff by Marcos for his "loyalty" (the times I've been offered a percentage of a vast haul, I couldn't possibly remember now). I didn't doubt for a moment that UBS had hijacked his bullion, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. I certainly wasn't going to get involved or allow greed to consume me. Very early on I had to make a firm decision that my one and only interest was the story itself.

Were I to have my time over again, but still have these old eyes of mine to aid me - I would be even more cynical and careful about anyone and anything related to the Black Eagle gold trust. Not only is the subject labyrinthine, but there are so many dark, dank and deep levels. Everything and everyone has to be treated as suspect. And every nugget of truth has to be drawn out of that great shadow kicking, biting and screaming.

Sterling Seagrave and I (and the one other whoever you're thinking of) are/were naive amateurs on this subject. In the last analysis, none of us are up to snuff on it. That's my honest take these days.

Can you be a little more specific about what "papers" you are referring to please, Pete? There are so many different ones out there.
