This is the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER(R), 1629 K St. NW, Washington, D.C.
20006.

   Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is September 30, 1980,
and this is my AUDIO LETTER(R) No. 58.

   The fall of 1980 is turning out to be a season of re-runs.
Television shows which were stale the first time around are being
shown again, thanks to the actors' strike in Hollywood. And the worst
acts of all are those of our so-called Presidential Candidates.

   Administrations come and go, my friends, but the more they
legislate, the more the country goes to the dogs. Millions of
Americans are out of work, but inflation refuses to quit. Interest
rates are heading up again, so say "Good-bye" to that new home. Our
auto industry is on the ropes, our cities are decaying, our armed
forces are falling apart, and at the center of it all our dollar is
shrinking out of existence. The dollar is no longer "good as gold"
because our gold is gone; and as long as it stays gone, all the
campaign promises in the world cannot save the United States economy.
The forces who stole our gold are bringing down America's economy, and
now they are using our own gold to bring down war around our heads.

   My friends, it's time to lift our eyes from idle campaign promises
to cast our vote for America before it is too late. It's time for us,
the American people, to use the gold weapon ourselves. It's time for
us to vote for the TRUTH by bringing about a public investigation of
the FORT KNOX GOLD SCANDAL because only in that way can we hope to
save our economy from utter ruin, and only in that way can we seize a
weapon big enough to stop those who are dragging us all into the
insanity of NUCLEAR WAR ONE.

   My three special topics this month are:

Topic #1--AMERICAN GOLD AND THE IRAQ-IRAN WAR Topic #2--RUSSIA'S FIRST
STRIKE AGAINST A TITAN-2 MISSILE Topic #3--"STEP THREE" IN WHAT YOU
CAN DO.

Topic #1--The world we live in today, my friends, seems more and more
like a roller coaster. Only a short month ago we were hearing about
the worldwide oil glut. There were predictions that it could easily
take one or two years for the oil surplus to fade away, but rosy
projections like those always seem to set the stage for trouble. This
month of September got off to a bad start as the dollar fell to the
lowest level in five years on Money Markets world-wide. Something
ominous was in the wind. You and I were not told about it, but a new
crisis was brewing between Iran and Iraq.

   On September 9 Great Britain shut down its Embassy in Tehran,
saying it was becoming too dangerous. Iraq and Iran were squabbling
over their border, and the dispute was heating up. Iraqi troops
invaded northwestern Iran seizing some 90 square miles of Iranian
territory. Then on September 17 after the fact, Iraq tore up the 1975
Border Treaty with Iran. Next the air war erupted between the two
countries. On September 22 Iraq and Iran bombed each other's air
fields, and the very next day two OPEC nations, Iraq and Iran, began
destroying each other's oil installations. The headline in the
Washington Post for September 24, 1980 said it all: "IRAN BOMBS
BAGHDAD. FULL SCALE WAR ERUPTS."

   The present fighting between Iraq and Iran was started by Iraq. For
many years we've heard about the status of Iraq as a Russian client
state; and with the war now under way, we are always reminded of this
by the controlled major media of the United States. But what is not
reported to you and me, my friends, is Russia's reaction to Iraq's
latest actions. The Russians have sent very blunt warnings to Iraq
that they are not pleased, and have shut off arms shipments to Iraq.
The Russians are saying basically: "We gave you arms to defend
yourself against Israel--not to invade Iran."

   During roughly the past year and a half little noticed changes have
been taking place in Iraq. Those changes have been orchestrated in
parallel with those in neighboring Iran. Iraq's new strong man, Saddam
Hussein, came to power in a bloody coup d'etat. At the time all eyes
were on Iran instead, but now thousands of Iranian military personnel
from the Shah's former regime are now in Iraq. They are fighting on
the side of Iraq, hoping to regain power in Iran by military means.

   In AUDIO LETTER No. 52 last November 1979, I described how and why
agents of the Rockefeller cartel brought to ruin the late Shah of
Iran. The Islamic revolution of Ayatollah Khomeini was secretly helped
along as a maneuver to oust the Shah. The Ayatollah was ushered into
power by forces which he did not understand; but as I reported in
AUDIO LETTER No. 52, those forces plan to undo it all. What I told you
then was, quote: "They plan to martyr the entire Khomeini government
as they set off thermonuclear war." The real Ayatollah Khomeini
himself was assassinated last February 1980, as I reported that month
in AUDIO LETTER No. 54, but he was replaced with a "double" to
maintain the image of the Ayatollah as an enemy--someone for the
Americans to hate.

   Now by way of Iraq, pressure is being put on Iran. The ultimate
goal is to make the present government of Iran disintegrate in chaos,
but you can expect many twists and turns along the way.

   Like Iran, Iraq is only being used as a part of a larger plan.
There may well be double-crosses within double-crosses. Almost
anything can happen, but watch for efforts to lure Russia into the
Persian Gulf, just as she was lured into Afghanistan.

   The main forces which have brought about the Iraqi attack on Iran
are not those of the United States government itself. Instead, the
situation in Iraq right now is dominated by the old Rockefeller oil
interests. These are headed and tightly coordinated by John J. McCloy
and his associates.

   Since the spring of 1979 I have reported that the Rockefeller
cartel as a whole is now headless and beginning to crumble, but that
is not yet true of the oil companies within the cartel. They still
intend to complete their long-range plan to recapture undisputed
domination over Iran, and they are working closely with their private
Israeli counterparts here and abroad to accomplish this. Their
destruction of the Shah's regime was only the first half of their
plan. The second half is to get rid of the interim government now in
Iran, the so-called Khomeini regime. They want to destabilize the
situation in Iran and take advantage of the chaos that follows. When
the smoke clears, "Big Oil" plans again to own Iran lock, stock, and
barrel; and at the same time the Bolshevik secret government here
plans to take advantage of the same events to bring us closer to
nuclear war.

   Ever since 1914, war after war has been fought over oil.
Governments have been destroyed, others created, and still others
subverted; and whenever there is war for oil, gold is always the
trigger. Gold is such an important weapon of war that in early 1968
the Joint Chiefs of Staff became very alarmed over the depletion of
America's gold supply. They visited their then President Lyndon
Johnson in the White House. In an angry confrontation they demanded
that Johnson not reduce the gold stock still remaining because it was
needed for purposes of war.

   The Ro ckefeller interests, now under the control of John J. McCloy
and associates, arranged earlier this year for eight billion dollars
($8,000,000,000)--that's eight thousand million dollars--in gold to be
paid to the leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein. A very special private
underground warehouse in Zurich was used in this transfer of gold.
This gold was an outright bribe. It was to persuade Iraq to attack
Iran. Eight billion dollars, my friends, is a lot of money, but it was
a cheap price for the Rockefeller oil cartel, and for two reasons:

   First, the gold which was used to bribe Iraq to start the war was
part of the gold which was stolen from you and me! The bulk of the
gold taken from America's stockpiles was flown to Europe on
multinational corporate jets. So, my friends, that $8-billion in gold
did not cost the oil companies anything except some jet fuel, but it
cost you and me part of our monetary gold, and it has been used to
start a war for which you and I will pay even more.

   Eight billion dollars in gold was a cheap price for the oil
companies for another reason too. If their plans are successful, the
Rockefeller oil group will get back complete control over Iran's oil
and other natural resources, and they won't have to pay those untold
billions in oil royalties to their new Iranian lackeys.

   As I explained in AUDIO LETTER No. 52, the time came when the oil
companies could no longer control their former puppet, the Shah--so
out he went. They could also not control for long the real Ayatollah
Khomeini--so he was killed. But if their war on Iran by way of Iraq
succeeds in its ultimate purpose, the Rockefeller oil companies will
once again constitute the Iranian state.

   The oil interests under John J. McCloy are playing ball with the
invisible Bolshevik government here in the United States. For the
moment, they both want the same thing in Iran--that is, instability
and turmoil--so they are working hand in glove to create an explosion
in the Persian Gulf. But the oil companies could end up finding that
even they have been used by the Bolshevik secret government here in
the United States; because if the Bolsheviks have their way, all-out
war will come before the oil cartel can consolidate their gains in
Iran.

   Last month I revealed that the Bolsheviks here are following
roughly a three-month cycle in triggering new war plans. The coming
month of October 1980 is another critical month in that timetable; and
sure enough, right on schedule, the Iraq-Iran war is boiling over. The
United States Naval Fleet in the Indian Ocean is now being bolstered
by units from our Mediterranean Fleet. At the same time, the United
States is trying to get Australia, France (which is very reticent),
and Great Britain to join in with their navies as well. At the same
time, our Bolshevik Administration is sending four AWACS airborne
battle control airplanes to Saudi Arabia. Cargo planes and several
hundred support personnel are also on the way. The public excuse is
that this is to keep open the critical Strait of Hormuz to keep the
oil tankers moving; but, my friends, it may well lead instead to an
oil cut-off, and that will produce not only higher oil prices but also
a "national emergency" here in the United States as we shift step by
step onto a war footing.

Topic #2--Three years ago today on September 30, 1977, I recorded
AUDIO LETTER No. 26. In that tape I reported that the most decisive
battle of the 20th Century had just taken place in space. It was the
"BATTLE OF THE HARVEST MOON", September 27, 1977. It was history's
first true battle in space, and in a stunning upset the United States
was defeated by the Soviet Union. From that day onward, Russia began
evicting the United States from the military use of space. The true
military balance between East and West was turned upside down. Since
that time the United States has been dealing from weakness on the
world stage. But our secret Bolshevik government is unwilling to
abandon its secret plans for world domination; and so out of weakness
America has shifted to a first-strike nuclear strategy against Russia.
Lately this dramatic shift in America's military posture has started
coming to the surface in the news. For example, last month
"Presidential Directives" 58 and 59 were made public. One Directive,
No. 59, officially commits the United States to a first-strike nuclear
posture known as "Counterforce Targeting" of our missiles. The other
Directive, No. 58, is to step up preparations for our Leaders to hide
in safe war bunkers just before they set off NUCLEAR WAR ONE. And what
about you and me and our children? We are supposed to just wait
patiently until the air raid sirens start blaring all around us.

   Our shift to a first-strike nuclear posture actually began over two
years ago in secret. I first reported this change in AUDIO LETTER No.
36 for July 1978; and the following month in AUDIO LETTER No. 37 I
gave details of the secret first-strike plans then being prepared. In
AUDIO LETTER No. 37 I reported that America's secret plans for a first
strike were producing a response in kind by the Kremlin. The Russians
had learned about the plans of our own secret government for a first
strike and so they were planning to turn the tables. By allowing the
United States to start the process, the Russians were planning to
obtain an excuse for their own first strike against us, but I can now
report that the Russian first-strike strategy has changed in very
important ways. My friends, it is already under way!

   On both sides the strategic plans for NUCLEAR WAR ONE are in a
constant state of flux; and as it happens, the changes on both sides
during the past two years can be illustrated with a single weapon.
That weapon is America's giant Titan-2 Missile. The Titan-2 is an old
missile. It began to be deployed some 18 years ago in 1962. It is a
liquid fuel rocket unlike our newer Minutemen which use solid fuel. It
is a maintenance headache, and we do not have a large number of them,
my friends. Only 54 were deployed originally.

   But the Titan-2 has one advantage which has become very important
to our Bolshevik secret government. That advantage is sheer size. It
has a pay load capability, called throw-weight by the military, which
is many times larger than that of a Minuteman. That gives the Titan-2
a special value for modification to new missions which were not
originally planned.

   Some two years ago one of these major modification programs was
carried out on Titan-2 Missiles. As I reported in AUDIO LETTER No. 37,
they have been modified for fractional orbital bombardment. Normally
American missiles are aimed over the North Pole at Russia, but that is
no longer the case with the Titan-2s. When war begins, the Titans will
be launched in many different directions, and they will not follow the
normal ballistic trajectory of a standard ICBM; instead, they will
accelerate all the way to orbital speed. They will then race around
the globe toward Russia. They will approach Russia from all
directions, not just from the north; and they will arrive at twice the
speed of other missiles. As they approach their targets, the warheads
will retrofire out of orbit. From there they will rain destruction on
their Russian targets--at least that is the plan.

   American military planners believe that they can succeed in getting
at least a few of the Titan-2s launched in spite of Russia's
Cosmospheres on patrol overhead. They also believe that the short
flight time of the Titans will keep them safe from Russia's
manned-killer satellites, the Cosmos Interceptors.

   Finally, the secret planners here believe that the Russians will
find terminal defense impossible. The Titan warheads will simply
arrive from too many directions for effective anti-missile defense,
but last February 1980 I reported that Russia does plan to have an
effective last-ditch defense to shoot down any incoming ICBMs. The
Russians began work on it in June 1978, two months before I recorded
AUDIO LETTER No. 37. It is a "Flying Anti-Ballistic Missile System."
It is made up of Charged Particle Be am Weapons carried by Russia's
supersonic transport, the TU-144. The TU-144s were suddenly removed
from service without explanation in June 1978, and now I can report to
you that the TU-144 Flying Anti-Missile System is fully operational in
Russia.

   Meanwhile America's fleet of Titan-2s is beginning to dwindle. On
August 24, 1978, an accident, supposedly, crippled a freshly modified
Titan-2 at Rock, Kansas. It made headlines with a massive leak which
sent poisonous reddish-brown fumes towering into the sky. The huge
missile was ruined. Scratch one--53 left.

   Now, my friends, the Titan-2s are being modified again. This time
only the warhead is involved. They are still programmed for fractional
orbital bombardment, which requires use of a smaller warhead than
normal, but now compact new generation warheads are being installed on
the Titan-2s. Each packs a 24-megaton wallop--that's over 1000 times
more powerful than the Hiroshima A-bomb! But the most deadly feature
of the new Titan-2 warheads is their cobalt jacket. The Titan-2
warhead is a doomsday weapon designed to create vast amounts of deadly
radiation over wide areas for a generation.

   The Bolsheviks here are well aware of Russia's vast Civil Defense
setup. They know that unlike the United States, Russia's rulers have
tried to insure that as many Russians as possible will survive a
nuclear attack; but the Bolsheviks here plan to make those
preparations useless. Even if the Russians stay underground for a
year, or two years, or five years, eventually they will have to come
out of their shelters; and if they do so after an American cobalt bomb
attack, they will still die. And so one way or another, the Russians
intend to make doubly sure that no Titan-2 succeeds in bombarding
Russia.

   For nearly three years I have reported that Russia's levitating
weapons platforms, the Cosmospheres, can blast our missiles in their
silos; and this month on September 19 that is exactly what was done!
The target was a Titan-2 in its silo near Damascus, Arkansas. The
Russians were sending a message to our Bolshevik secret government.
Their war of attrition against America's war-making capability is now
being stepped up. The Russians are now embarking on their own new
version of a first strike--one target at a time. Russian Intelligence
learned several months ago about the plan to retrofit the Titan-2s
with cobalt doomsday warheads. The decision was made to destroy one of
these retro-fitted missiles in its silo at the first favorable
opportunity.

   The Titans are notorious for their leaks during maintenance. It was
decided that the first major leak of a retro-fitted Titan-2 would be
used as a cover for the Russian strike. On Thursday September 18 the
Russians got the chance that they were waiting for. Around 6:45 that
evening a retro-fitted Titan-2 with a cobalt doomsday warhead was
being worked on in its silo near Damascus, Arkansas. Suddenly, we are
told, an accident took place which has no parallel since the Titan-2s
became operational 18 years ago. Supposedly a wrench was dropped,
knocking a hole in the side of the missile. In any case, the Russians
had the leak they wanted to provide a cover for what they were about
to do.

   For more than eight hours Air Force personnel worked steadily but
without great urgency to try to fix the leak. Meanwhile the silo door
remained closed to avoid attracting attention. The main worry at the
time was not an explosion but toxicity of the fumes. As Air Force
Secretary Hans Mark testified to Congress on September 24, quote: "The
technical experts did not expect any explosion at all." As one crew
after another entered and left the Titan-2 silo in protective suits, a
Russian Cosmosphere was floating high above in the stratosphere. They
waited until after most of the nearby residents had been warned and
evacuated. Then at 3:01 A.M. the Cosmosphere crew received the order
to open fire. Their Charged Particle Beam weapon had for hours been
aimed and ready, locked onto the center of the huge silo door. The
door, made of concrete and steel and weighing 740 tons, was designed
to withstand a near-miss of a 10-megaton H-bomb; but it was no match
for the Charged Particle Beam. In a fraction of a second the Beam blew
a hole through the silo door. As the door buckled and twisted, the
Beam created a tremendous shock wave inside the silo. The fragile
outer shell of the missile instantly was crushed like an egg shell.
The fuel and oxidizer tanks ruptured in a thousand places, and the
propellants ran together. As long as they are kept apart the fuel and
oxidizer of the Titan-2 offer very little danger of explosion; but
they are of a type called hypergolic propellants--that is, the moment
they contact each other they ignite--and that is what happened in the
missile silo. Huge amounts mixed instantly as the missile crumpled
inward. The result was a tremendous explosion. It threw the already
ruined silo door all over the countryside, and the mighty Titan-2
launched its doomsday warhead not into Russia but into the Arkansas
pasture a few hundred feet away.

   And so, my friends, there were really two explosions at the Titan-2
missile silo. First was the explosion of part of the atoms of the silo
door itself when it was hit by the Particle Beam, and that in turn
triggered the second explosion--that of the missile itself in the
silo. Several eye witnesses described this double blast in various
ways; but the clearest description was given by two injured Air Force
personnel--Sergeants Michael Hansen and Archie James. Their statements
in a September 21 news conference were reported the next day in the
New York Times. The Times said, quote:

 "The two men said that they were about 100 feet from the missile silo
when the first of two explosions occurred. They agreed that there had
been one smaller explosion first, which knocked them to the ground,
before a much larger explosion with monstrous force."

   After the explosion, the Air Force mystified everyone with its
nervousness about the warhead. After all, everyone knows an ICBM
carries a nuclear warhead, so why not admit it? Now, my friends, you
know why. They were desperately afraid that there might be a 'slip of
the tongue' by someone about the new doomsday cobalt warhead of the
Titan-2, and so strict orders were given to say nothing at all about
it. For our Titan-2 Missile Fleet the score is now: scratch two, 52 to
go. The Russians are hoping to bring about a shutdown of the Titan
Missile force by means of public outcry if possible; but if not, they
intend to make sure in other ways that not one is ever launched at
Russia. The Titan-2 with its new 24-megaton cobalt warhead is a
first-strike weapon of our Secret Government.

   But the Russians too, are making use of cobalt bombs in their
first-strike strategy against the United States. The Russian cobalt
bombs are a totally different design--not for use in the atmosphere
but under ground and under water to generate earthquakes.

   Two months ago on July 28 an earthquake took place in the Midwest
that shook 12 states. Geologists in that area were mystified, saying
that it seemed like an impossible earthquake. There are no known
faults in the area where it was centered not far from Fort Knox,
Kentucky, but in AUDIO LETTER No. 56 I reported how Russia brought
about that seemingly impossible earthquake using two underground
cobalt bombs.

   Last month this Bolshevik Administration announced that Russia's
leadership is now a No. 1 target in its first-strike posture, and
Russia is responding in kind, my friends. The real headquarters of
America's secret government is not here in Washington, D.C., but in
New York City, and now feverish preparations are under way to create
an impossible earthquake in New York City as part of Russia's new
first-strike campaign against the United States!

Topic #3--When I recorded AUDIO LETTER No. 57 last month, I mentioned
that I had not yet received any reports of replies by Senator Proxmire
to your letters; but since that time many of you have let me know that
he has answered you, and many o f you have sent  me copies of the
letters that he sent you.

   My friends, in my two previous tapes I cautioned you to beware of
any attempts to just brush you off. If you have never written to
anyone in Congress before, you may have felt that you got a very
responsive reply from Senator Proxmire. If so, I suggest that you stop
the tape at this point and restart it with your letter from Senator
Proxmire in hand. Please follow along word for word. I'm about to read
to you what you are likely to have received. If your letter differs
from what I am about to read, by all means please send me a copy.

First: The date at the top is likely to be August 27, September 4, or
September 9. Other dates are also possible, but large batches were
sent out on those dates.

 "Dear (so and so):
  Thanks so much for your recent letter concerning the allegations
initiated by Dr. Peter Beter concerning massive gold thefts from the
United States Treasury at Fort Knox, especially an unrecorded shipment
which occurred in 1965. While this precious metal is no longer needed
to back up our currency, I can certainly appreciate your concern in
this issue.

  Similar concerns were expressed in 1974 at which time former
Treasury Secretary Simon invited all members of Congress to
participate in a personal inspection of the reserves held at Fort
Knox. Several members joined in the tour at that time. In addition at
the request of the Congress, the General Accounting Office and the
Treasury also completed an audit of the gold reserves. The General
Accounting Office is an investigative arm of the Congress as you may
know, and participates in the yearly audits of the Treasury's gold
reserves.

  As to the situation which took place in 1965 concerning the missing
shipment of gold, I am asking the Treasury's Inspector General to give
me a complete report. Once I have this information, I will be in a
better position to determine whether any future action is warranted.

  I appreciate your interest in this important matter.

  Sincerely, William Proxmire, Chairman."

  The signature, which looks for all the world like a personal
signature, is "Bill Proxmire." It looks pretty good, doesn't it? The
tone is friendly, and it looks like a personal letter and that is what
you are supposed to believe it is; but, of course, if your letter
coincided with the one I just read, you know now that it was not a
personal letter. It's just one of many identical letters churned out
like popcorn by a computer-controlled typewriter. Even the signature,
which looks so real, is made by a special signature-duplicating
machine. If you have a neighbor who also received a letter, put one on
top of the other and hold them up to the light and you will find that
the computerized typing is identical; and you will also discover that
the signatures are identical, unlike real signatures. They may be in
slightly different positions on the two letters, but by moving them
around you will be able to make the two signatures coincide.

  My friends, the computerized letter is used by Senators and
Congressmen today for several reasons. For one thing, of course, it
saves work. For another, it makes constituents feel good thinking they
have received a personal reply, but most of all it helps Senators and
Congressmen avoid involving themselves in many issues. When you
receive a personal letter from a busy Senator or Congressman you may
wonder, "Am I the only one who wrote about this?" Most people, if they
think that, will just give up; and so the computerized letter is
designed to encourage you to feel isolated. Notice that the letter I
just read you from Senator Proxmire sounds as if he is answering you
alone. He avoids mentioning that many others have written to him about
the same thing, but you should know that in Congress every letter is
considered to represent at least 500 people.

Now I invite you to look more closely at the actual content of Senator
Proxmire's computerized letter to you. It's filled with red flags.

First, in paragraph 1 is his statement that gold is no longer needed
to back up the dollar. That is red flag No. 1. It goes against common
sense, history, and daily news about gold prices and the dollar.
Senator Proxmire is parroting the old Rockefeller line which was used
years ago to calm us, to deceive us, while they phased gold out of
Fort Knox and into their own pockets.

The second paragraph is worded to convey the impression that all this
has been looked into and found to be untrue. But read it carefully, my
friends. You will discover more red flags.

For example: He mentions the so-called "tour" of the Fort Knox Bullion
Depository in 1974, but a tour is not an "inventory", and not one of
the visitors to Fort Knox in September 1974 was a specialist in gold.
What is more, the visitors were not even told about, much less shown,
the actual gold vault itself! This is a huge maximum security vault
which occupies the central portion of the Depository building and
extends well below ground. Instead, the visitors were allowed to enter
only one small jail-cell-like compartment to look at some
reddish-tinted alleged gold bars. In AUDIO LETTER No. 2 for July 1975
I gave details about all this. The Fort Knox tour of 1974 cited by
Senator Proxmire was just a peep show amounting to a total fraud.

Then he refers to the so-called "audit" of our gold reserves by the
General Accounting Office and the Treasury. Another red flag, my
friends, because an audit is not a physical inventory or count of the
gold itself. An audit is only an examination of the books; and from
the very beginning my charge has been that those books are fraudulent
and therefore useless. And to make matters worse, the Audit Committee
consisted of 13 Treasury personnel with only two (2) GAO personnel
tagging along to make it look good. I described that entire episode in
detail in my AUDIO BOOK talking tape entitled "THE FORT KNOX GOLD
SCANDAL...AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU" of March 1975.

Paragraph 3 of the Proxmire computer letter is a tradition in Congress
today. It's called "Pass the buck." But he does not even pass it to an
objective agency! For example, he could have referred it to the
General Accounting Office; at least the GAO is an arm of Congress
itself, as Proxmire himself mentions. But NO, you wrote to Proxmire
about the Treasury's failure to account for a gold shipment worth over
$8-billion today. And whom does he ask to look into it?--why the
Treasury itself!

Actually the only thing resembling concrete action mentioned in the
letter is Proxmire's request for a report from the Treasury's
Inspector General. So it seems appropriate to take a few minutes to
tell you about Proxmire's previous experience with the Treasury
Inspector General. The occasion was the scandal that erupted in
December 1978 over missing gold at the New York Assay Office. As you
may recall, there were news reports at the time that some 5,200 ounces
of gold could not be accounted for. The story was brought to light
only because of the determined efforts of a dedicated group of
employees at the New York Assay Office. These employees known as the
"Whistle Blowers" tried for years to seek redress for corrupt
practices there among the top management. They contacted various
officials within the Treasury, the Justice Department, Congress
(including Senator Proxmire), and the press. For their efforts, some
of them received severe retribution through their jobs, demotions, and
so on; but against all odds they succeeded in bringing to light the
matter of the missing gold. Then, as now, Proxmire turned to the
Treasury itself for a report on the possible misbehavior of a Treasury
operation--the New York Assay Office; and on December 19, 1978, Deputy
Secretary of the Treasury Robert Carswell wrote to Senator Proxmire
and said, quote:

 "I must now inform you that there have been significant
irregularities in Accounting and Management procedures in the New York
Assay Office that appear to go back a number of years."

Carswell added, quote:

 "The full truth may never be known because of the inadequate records
kept over the year s."

In other words, my friends, the records at the New York AssayOffice
were unreliable, just like the records at Fort Knox.

   In his letter to Proxmire, Carswell also mentioned that the
Treasury's new Inspector General had been assigned to the Assay Office
case. The office of Inspector General was a new office, created only
three months earlier; and according to the Carswell letter to
Proxmire, the first investigation handed to the Treasury Inspector
General was that of the New York Assay Office. And so the Treasury's
Inspector General began his career in that post with a case of missing
gold.

   Now, according to his computer letter to you, Proxmire has asked
him to look into another case of missing gold--the 1965 missing
shipment from Fort Knox. The Treasury Inspector General took charge of
a group of agents detailed from the Secret Service, which is another
branch of the Treasury! Then he directed a so-called investigation of
the missing gold at the New York Assay Office which, by his own words,
quote "consisted of interviews" plus a review of security and
procedures. No sworn testimony, just interviews; and oddly enough no
one confessed to any criminal activity or theft. So on May 11, 1979,
the Treasury Inspector General closed the files on his "investigation"
of the New York Assay Office.

   He wrote a memorandum that day to Deputy Treasury Secretary
Carswell summarizing the results of this great investigation. With one
exception (a man who had already been sent to jail), he said, quote:
"No evidence has been developed that any personnel were involved in
the theft of gold and silver from the New York Assay Office." That one
exception is not discussed, but you might find it revealing. It was an
employee who was caught trying to carry a bar of gold out the door
inside a rolled-up newspaper. The reason he was caught, my friends,
was that the gold bar slipped out of the newspaper and fell on the
floor.

   The so-called investigation of the Treasury Inspector General also
succeeded in deciding that less gold was missing than originally
reported. What we heard in news reports was 5,200 ounces; but by the
time the Treasury Inspector General got through, he had whittled that
down to a mere 4,100 ounces. He also forwarded the sanitized Treasury
report on itself to the Justice Department for their determination.
Not surprisingly, the Justice Department wrote back that, quoting the
Inspector General's memorandum again:

 "There is no evidence in the present record that any employee of the
New York Assay Office personally benefitted from the practices
described in the report."

And the Justice Department is said to have declined prosecution due
to, quote "the absence of any motive of personal gain relating to the
settlement procedures."

   There was never another peep out of Senator William Proxmire about
the strange goings-on at the New York Assay Office. Apparently he was
well satisfied by the self-serving Treasury investigation of itself,
so much so that now he is passing the buck to exactly the same office
of the Treasury in the matter of the 1965 missing shipment of gold
from Fort Knox.

   My friends, I never told you that what we are trying to do would be
easy. I do believe that it can be done if we will stick with it no
matter what; but now you have a small taste of what we are up against.
In the case of the missing gold at the New York Assay Office, Senator
Proxmire acted as if he just did not want to know, so he relied on the
Treasury to investigate itself through its office of Inspector
General. Now in the case of the missing gold shipment from Fort Knox,
his initial response reflected in his computer letters to you was the
same.

   My friends, from what I have said so far you may be thinking that
I'm about to say, "Forget Senator Proxmire. We have to try something
else." But that is not what I'm saying at all. There is more to the
story, and a glimmer of hope that Senator Proxmire can be persuaded to
take meaningful action; but I do believe that you must have a
realistic understanding of the situation if we are to succeed. To that
end, I think a few words are in order about Senator Proxmire's public
background.

   E. William Proxmire got his start in politics long ago after he
married into the Rockefeller family. He ran as a Democrat for Governor
of Wisconsin in 1952, '54, and '56 and lost each time. But his big
chance came in a Special Senatorial Election on August 27, 1957. It
was Proxmire, my friends, who filled the Senate vacancy of the late
Senator Joseph McCarthy. Proxmire was re-elected in 1958 and has been
in the Senate ever since.

   Throughout his Senate career, Proxmire has been deeply involved in
the most powerful committees of Congress dealing with banking,
currency, housing--in other words, our economy. Whatever has happened
during those years, Proxmire was there.

   In 1961 the so-called "London Gold Pool Agreement" was set up. It
was an informal agreement that was never authorized by Congress--I
repeat, NEVER AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS; and under that agreement, our
gold started flowing out of the United States in a hemorrhage that
lasted nearly 7 years. One courageous Congressman, Frank Chelf of
Kentucky, spoke repeatedly on the floor of Congress about what was
happening to our gold. In AUDIO LETTER No. 2 for July 1975, I read to
you his sworn statement about the secret shipments of gold out of Fort
Knox during those years. But throughout the halls of Congress the
warning words of Congressman Frank Chelf were totally ignored, and
Senator William Proxmire was among those who were there--but paid no
attention! And so we should not be surprised if we encounter
resistance by Senator Proxmire to leading a public investigation of
our gold reserves.

   Long ago he became entangled with the special interests of the
Rockefeller group, who in turn spirited away our gold; and Proxmire
was there, in Congress, when our gold was taken, so he could be
accused of malfeasance for neglecting to take any action up to now to
protect our gold. Under the circumstances, Proxmire may well look upon
a public investigation of our missing gold as a "can of worms" for
him. But, my friends, we do not want Proxmire's hide, WE WANT HIS
HELP. He is in the best possible position to do it--if he will; and
there is an inkling that perhaps he can be persuaded to take action.

   On September 5 my friend Mr. Edward Durell wrote to Senator
Proxmire urging him to take up the investigation of our nation's gold
supplies. Mr. Durell has done this many times before, and has been met
with a stone wall!! But this time, this time, Mr. Durell wrote in the
wake of your barrage of letters; and on September 11 Proxmire sent
this reply, and I now quote:

 "Dear Mr. Durell:
  I have your letter regarding an unreported shipment of gold which
occurred at Fort Knox in 1965 and the possibility that there may have
been similar unreported incidents. While, as you know, the United
States is no longer on the Gold Standard, I can appreciate your
concern in this issue. I have already asked the Treasury Department's
Inspector General to look into the matter and give me a complete
report. In view of your correspondence, however, I am also asking the
Justice Department and the General Accounting Office to also
investigate the situation you outline. The General Accounting Office
is an investigative arm of the United States Congress. Once I have
this information I will be in a better position to determine whether
any future action is warranted.

  Sincerely, William Proxmire, Chairman"

   My friends, this is still a long way short of agreeing to what we
have requested--that is, a PUBLIC INVESTIGATION by Proxmire's
Committee--but it is a step in the right direction, so it's up to us
to redouble our efforts.

   We have to make it clear that there are many of us, that we are not
going to go away, that we will not be satisfied with anything less
than a public investigation by his Committee, and that he will have
our complete support. To do that, I urge that you again contact
Senator Proxmire and get everyone else to do so that you possibly can.
And if you are willing to spend a few dollars, I urge you to use a
MAILGRAM this time for greater impact. All you have to do is to call
Western Union and they will charge it to your telephone bill. A long
message is not necessary, but I suggest that you tell Senator Proxmire
you want action--not just comforting form letters. Tell him that you
want a public, Congressional investigation of our gold supplies by his
Committee, which has jurisdiction--not more cover-ups by the Executive
Branch; and repeat your pledge of firm support if he will open the
investigation which you request.

   I also have a second suggestion this month which I think would mean
more to you after I tell you the following:

The secret gold shipment from Fort Knox on January 20, 1965, took
place the very day Lyndon Johnson was inaugurated President, as I
reported last month; and I can now reveal, my friends, that this
shipment did not end up at the New York Assay Office. It wound up,
instead, in a ranch in Mexico owned jointly by President and Mrs.
Johnson!! And President Johnson arranged for the Treasury Department
to give Mrs. Johnson a Special License to deal in gold bullion as a
private citizen. Yet, at that time, you and I could not even own gold
except in jewelry.

   The Fort Knox Gold Scandal of today was predictable long ago for
those with eyes to see. The famous prophet of the 1929 Stock Market
Crash, Roger Ward Babson, gave a clear warning of things to come while
the Fort Knox Bullion Depository was still being built. There was an
article about his warnings in the Literary Digest for August 29, 1936.
The article described Babson's objections in the words, quote:

 "By dumping most of America's gold hoard into a steel and concrete
strong box in the mountain fortress at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Uncle Sam
is putting too many of his eggs in one basket."

Two very relevant questions posed by Babson were also mentioned:

(1) Is not the United States as liable to have internal revolution as
to be attacked by foreign nations? And

(2) Are not gold and commodities much safer distributed among millions
of people than stored in Russian fashion under the control of
politicians?

The article quoted Babson as he thundered, quote:

 "To secure control of nearly one-half the world's total gold supply
requires only securing control of the White House. The key to these
great vaults is hanging on the wall of the President's private
office."

   With those prophetic words of 44 years ago in mind, I now offer you
my second suggestion for this month: We need to use every avenue
available to begin to make others aware that there is a question about
our gold reserves, and so I suggest that you write a brief letter to
the Editor to every newspaper, large and small, in your area. Don't
try to say a lot, just open up the thought that we ought to think
about our gold reserves as we prepare to elect a president. Here is a
sample of what I mean, to get you started:

 "LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
  All the presidential candidates this year are talking about our
troubled economy in the old conventional terms, but conventional
economic cures don't seem to be working. Could it be that the illness
is not conventional??

  Congressional legislation HR-7874 is now pending to look into
persistent rumors that our monetary gold to back up the dollar is
depleted or gone. If so, no wonder the dollar is shrinking and gold
prices mushrooming. When we go to the polls maybe we ought to keep in
mind that whoever we vote for will have the keys to all our gold--that
is, if there is any left."

You may succeed in getting only one letter published, or none at all;
but all of us working together have to think of ourselves as
scattering seed. A lot of our letters to editors, just like seed, will
fall on barren land; but if even one letter does get published, it can
begin to alert thousands of newspaper readers. So please do it now, my
friends. There is no time to be wasted.

   Now it's time to give you my Last Minute Summary. In this AUDIO
LETTER I've tried to show you a little more clearly the connection
between gold and war. Our own gold, which has been stolen from us, is
being used to drag you and me into war! So we must seize the gold
weapon ourselves and turn it around. By breaking open the GOLD
SCANDAL, we must wage preventive war--a WAR OF TRUTH--in order to
prevent a war of missiles, bombs, particle beam weapons, and clashing
armies.

   What happened to the Titan-2 Missile which exploded in its silo
earlier this month serves to illustrate the stakes in our preventive
war. The secret Bolshevik government of the United States has
transformed the Titan-2 into a first-strike doomsday weapon against
Russia; but the Titan-2 at Damascus, Arkansas, was itself the victim
of a Russian first strike! For the first time the Russians have now
demonstrated the ability of their Cosmospheres to destroy our ICBMs in
their silos. Day by day we come closer and closer to the outbreak of
all-out thermonuclear war!

   The Secret Rulers of the United States and the rulers of Russia are
both embarked on their own separate and very different first-strike
strategies. The Bolsheviks here want to achieve a first strike against
Russia that will set off all-out war. The Russians, on the other hand,
want to achieve the opposite. They want to make all-out war impossible
by destroying America's ability to fight. And so, my friends, the
Bolsheviks here keep struggling to prepare for a single massive blow
at Russia, even though America will be destroyed. And to prevent the
massive American first strike, the Russians are conducting a campaign
of localized first strikes. One day a Mount St. Helens explodes,
another day a Titan Missile explodes, and on another day soon a major
city may seem to explode in a seemingly impossible earthquake.

   No matter who wins the first-strike tug of war, the Russians or the
Bolsheviks here, America loses. And, my friends, you and I are
America, so it is up to you and me to defend our great land and
ourselves. No one else is going to do it for us, but our forefathers
left us a CONSTITUTION which grants us the freedom, the power, and the
responsibility to do the job; and if our Lord Jesus Christ wills it,
we will succeed.

   Two months ago I began giving you my answers to the question many
of you had started asking me: "What can I do?" Many of the things we
need to do require little money but time, dedication, and
perseverance. Even so we must not deceive ourselves. Freedom does not
always come for "free." The challenge we face today is no less than
what our forefathers faced 200 years ago; so if we want to prevail in
this struggle, we can do no less than they did. As they expressed it
in concluding the Declaration of Independence:

"...with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we
mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred
Honor."

Until next month, God willing, this is Dr. Beter. Thank you, and may
God bless each and every one of you.
