Subject: Re: Dr. Peter Beter

On the contrary, he was a friend of mine for many years before he
died. Cosmic Awareness was recommending Dr. Beter as a reliable
source from about 1977 until he died. I still talk to his wife once
in awhile. His daughter goes to school here in Minneapolis.

Info follows. (I have electronic copies of all of his Audio Letters,
too. I will mail them to you if you ask.)

----------

The AUDIO LETTER cassette tape reports were recorded over a period
from June, 1975, to November, 1982, by Dr. Peter Beter. Each AUDIO
LETTER tape report is approximately one hour in length. The basic
schedule of release was once a month, but the exact date of release
each month was flexible to accommodate events. There were also two
periods during which the AUDIO LETTER reports were suspended
temporarily. The first, which extended from May to August 1977,
separated AUDIO LETTER issues #24 and #25, and took place due to an
action campaign by Dr. Beter with his listeners. The second
suspension extended from February to June 1980, and separated issues
#54 and #55. It was brought about by a major heart attack which Dr.
Beter suffered while in the midst of recording AUDIO LETTER #54.

Dr. Beter terminated his AUDIO LETTER cassette tape report series in
November, 1982, after recording AUDIO LETTER #80. Having fought
heart-related ailments for years, his health was declining. After
conferring with doctors, he decided that the time had come to
discontinue recording the tapes.

The Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER series grew out of Dr. Beter's
collaboration with supporters who first learned about Dr. Beter by
way of radio talk shows in 1974. At that time Dr. Beter was in great
demand to appear on talk shows nationwide, which he did in most
cases by long-distance telephone hookup from his residence in
suburban Washington, D.C. After many years as a highly successful
Washington attorney, government official and international legal and
financial consultant, Dr. Beter had become famous in 1973 as the
author of a best-selling book, The Conspiracy Against the Dollar.

In his talk shows Dr. Beter had a habit of saying things which
sounded preposterous at the time, but which were proven correct
later on. Early in 1973 he declared that Vice President Spiro Agnew
would be swept up in a sudden scandal beginning in late summer that
would lead quickly to his resignation. At the time Agnew was flying
high, and it sounded like an unlikely turn of events. But it
happened, right on schedule. In the spring of 1974, Dr. Beter
described a sequence of events by which the Watergate Scandal would
make Richard Nixon the first U.S. President in history to resign. At
the time, Watergate seemed to be running out of steam, and Nixon
appeared to be "toughing it out." Even less believably, Dr. Beter
described a secret agreement which he said existed by which
then-Vice President Gerald Ford would nominate Nelson Rockefeller to
be his new Vice President after Nixon resigned. In the spring of
1974 those things sounded hard to believe indeed. But they took
place.

Dr. Beter claimed that events like these, while shocking to the
public, were planned far in advance. He said that they were known
within certain intelligence and even business circles here in
America and abroad. Drawing upon his extensive contacts with these
circles, Dr. Beter was making public what the privileged few already
knew.

Having begun as skeptical listeners to Dr. Beter's radio
appearances, a small group of private citizens became increasingly
concerned as they saw Dr. Beter's revelations proven correct, time
after time. They decided to investigate further, and finally
contacted him. In September, 1974, Audio Books, Inc., was founded by
these supporters of Dr. Beter to provide an avenue by which Dr.
Beter could make his reports public without censorship or cutoff by
those who controlled the radio waves. After several individual AUDIO
BOOK(R) tapes, the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER series began in 1975.

About Dr. Beter [Note: born June 21, 1921; died March 14, 1987
(J.V.)]

Dr. Peter Beter (yes, it rhymes) first came to widespread popular
attention in 1973, through his best-selling nonfiction book, The
Conspiracy Against the Dollar (George Braziller, Inc., N.Y.). It was
a gripping tale of international economic intrigue and monetary
manipulation, carried out by the coordinated action of multinational
corporations grown more powerful than many of their host countries.
The objective: to deliberately undermine and ultimately destroy the
United States dollar, as a major tool of political and economic
conquest under the banner of a "new imperialism." A crescendo of
unhappy consequences were to be expected: an accelerating economic
"stagflation" (a now-popular word coined years ago by Dr. Beter),
deteriorating financial status of municipal and state governments,
deepening social unrest, increasing tensions over the Panama Canal,
and more. Events during the past decade have followed to an
astonishing degree the blueprint which Dr. Beter revealed in his
book.

In September 1974 Dr. Beter acquired a new distinction as "the man
who opened Fort Knox." The previous April Dr. Beter had charged in
congressional testimony that the legendary U.S. Bullion Depository
at Fort Knox had been looted of America's monetary gold hoard
allegedly stored there. He stood ready to present evidence and
witnesses to substantiate his charges. But neither a grand jury nor
a congressional inquiry into the matter materialized...so Dr. Beter
then took his case directly to the public. Through lectures, radio
talk shows, and publication of his charges in a tabloid newspaper
(National Tattler), he was able to put such intense pressure on the
federal government that a completely unprecedented step was taken in
order to still the public outcry. The U.S. Treasury Department
arranged a so-called "gold inspection" visit for a few Congressmen
and 100 invited newsmen on September 23, 1974. Significantly,
however, Dr. Beter himself was not among those invited...nor was any
other outside expert on gold. The celebrated Fort Knox visit and the
so-called "gold audit" which followed contained many irregularities
which the Treasury Department has never explained.

In AUDIO LETTER tapes #14 and #15 (July and August 1976), Dr. Beter
made public intelligence he had been given that the Soviet Union was
planting short-range underwater missiles in U.S. territorial waters
in preparation for a surprise nuclear attack. In issue #15 he listed
navigational coordinates for 64 missiles which he said had been
planted worldwide so far...urged his listeners to pressure the Joint
Chiefs of Staff to take counteractive measures...and in effect dared
the government to prove him wrong. The resulting hue and cry from
Dr. Beter's listeners nationwide created shock waves within the U.S.
Government which were never reported by the major news media.

In mid-September 1976, Dr. Beter and an associate met for over an
hour with General George S. Brown, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff, in Gen. Brown's Pentagon office. Only two weeks earlier, a
letter over Gen. Brown's signature had been sent to Dr. Beter (with
photocopies to concerned citizens nationwide), seeming to say that
Dr. Beter's charges about Soviet underwater missiles had been
investigated and found untrue. Yet when Dr. Beter then requested a
meeting with Gen. Brown to relay to him the locations of a second
round of 48 newly-planted missiles, the meeting was granted without
delay. The Pentagon confirmed to the press that the meeting had
taken place*, but never explained this curious sequence of events.

*See, e.g., Norfolk (Va.) Ledger-Star, Sept. 27, 1976, p. E8,
article by G. Bradshaw and J. Kestner. Or see Chicago Tribune, Dec.
4, 1977, Section 2, "Special Report: Undersea Warfare."

Professional credentials: The things made public by Dr. Beter are
extraordinary--but so is the professional background which preceded
his public visibility. He practiced general law in Washington, D.C.,
from 1951 to 1961, becoming a member of the U.S. Court of Military
Appeals in 1952 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 1964. Many of his
cases were against the federal government, all of which he
won--including one case in which he caught none other than the U.S.
Department of Justice burning records in an attempt to defeat him.
The resulting decision--Farley vs. U.S., 131 C. Cls. 776 (1955), 127
F Supp. 562--made new law.

In 1961 President John F. Kennedy appointed Dr. Beter Counsel to the
U.S. Export-Import Bank, the largest government-owned bank in the
Western world, where he served until 1967. After leaving the Ex-Im
Bank, Dr. Beter became an international financial and legal
consultant, as well as one of the chief developers of private
international business in the Republic of Zaire. He is a member of
the Judicature Society, the Bankers' Club of America, the Royal
Commonwealth Society of London, and the United States Naval
Institute. He is listed in biographical reference works such as
Who's Who in the East, the Blue Book of London, and 2000 Men of
Achievement (London).
