(Advances, Los Alamos, NM * March 1, 2008)  The ACSA issued a letter of “notification to the public” in the form of a warning:

A Public Interest investigation has yielded a peculiar historical background to Senator Jay Rockefeller’s venture capital business activities in the early 1980’s, which suggests he maintained a strong financial relationship with “white collar crime” members of the NY State Gambino Organized Crime Family, involved in Wall Street activities, and others that would call into question his present position in government.   This odd history may have eluded Senate vetting procedures designed to prevent the wrong parties from election to the Senate Intelligence Committee.  (It is noted that Rockefeller promoted the concept for ten years prior to Bush’s first term of office that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction, a ploy used to promote a program to exchange nuclear power status for oil with Saddam Hussein being developed by his cousin, John S. Rockefeller.)

Allegedly, starting with Jay Rockefeller’s organization of West Virginia Venture Capital programs in 1979 through 1987, Senator Rockefeller courted these Gambinos (also deeply involved in the 50’s and Rock and Roll Industries, such as the Jackson Five, movies like “the Wiz”, Dick Clark and Barry Gordy) to set up money laundering operations for him. Among the Rockefeller activities included illicitly moving the Shah of Iran’s funds from Iran to the USA by way of the US Virgin Islands, done as influence peddling for the Senator. Senator Rockefeller’s family had a strong relationship with the Shah of Iran and set up capital money laundering to and from the former Iranian Royal Family’s holdings in and outside of Iran after he was deposed.  The Shah Reza Pahlavi and Ashraf Pahlavi, with these Gambino Organized Crime figures and their lawyers then engaged in investment activities in advanced startup technologies for Senator Rockefeller, which under the control of Senator Rockefeller’s venture operation, through middlemen such as Adnan Khashogi (Saudi Munitions Broker) and the Gambinos and certain Russian mob figures, engaged in sales of some of the more advanced startup technology illegally to the Intelligence Service of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR starting in about 1983. Such illicit deals included the gathering and offering of advanced weapons grade computing technologies that could have equalized US technology development in the B-2 and Stealth fighter programs, as well as providing the USSR with a marked advantage in ICBM guidance.  All of it was highly illegal.  At the time, the primary Soviet Mission to the United States was situated on the northern border of Bronx, New York, giving the KGB substantial access to the criminal community there and in Westchester County, which also provided pass throughs from the New York financial community and Wall Street.  [ A center at 120 Broadway, NYC had been maintained by the Rockefeller family and certain partners (FDR, the Dupont Family…) as early as 1917, which engaged in political support of the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of the Communists and the organization of the USSR, as well as financial involvement in helping the Nazi’s take control of Germany and the rebuilding of the German Industrial and War Machines. Rebuilt in the 50’s, 120 Broadway and surrounding businesses owned by the Rockefellers, have served as a “political enterprise” which engages in direct activities in foreign lands to support development of Rockefeller business relationships there.  Every member of the Rockefeller Family’s financial circumstances (and there are 150 Rockefellers, approximately) are managed by Rockefeller Financial Services, for instance, supplying vast moneys for private use in said family members bank accounts, while shielding the family from trillions of dollars of assets held “distantly” and through “proxy” in the US and foreign lands. The Rockefellers’ financial records are maintained for RFS by IBM Corporation, which is considered “their computer business”.   Channels are maintained to every leader in every country in the world, as well as to all of the many businesses hidden ownership of which rests in the Rockefeller’s trust. The law firm of Milbank Tweed are the sole representation for the Rockefellers in most business venues, through relationships with proxies and other law firms and institutional stockholdings that make the Rockefellers look like minority shareholders.]

During that 1979-1986 time period, prior to his federal Senator-ship, it has been determined that Jay arranged for his intermediaries to offer advanced supercomputing, V-Band satellite and e-warfare technology to the KGB from his Gambino middlemen through Russian Mob intermediaries, for use in defense activities of the USSR.  In 1983, the USSR was locked into and embroiled in a deep Cold War confrontation with the USA.  Involved in the Senator Rockefeller proposed deals were associates of the Shah, including Adnan Khashogi, the noted Saudi Munitions Dealer, members of the Gambino Organized Crime Family, including members of the Gambino family associates: Case, Sorcher, Casaburo, Heit and D’Onofrio, allegedly Asher Edelman, certain key employees at IBM Corporation, at Citicorp Asian Pacific Financial Control, at AT&T Microelectronics, Bernard Schwartz and his Loral Electronics of the day, Yonkers Contracting Company, S&H Painting Company, Casaburro and Associates and others in the business community, some of whom were also offering to build and export the derived defense technologies illegally to the Soviet Union.  Many were also close confidants of the Shah of Iran’s family, who served as social cross connection in Riverdale, NY for many of the deals made by Jay Rockefeller offered to the Soviets, who had close intelligence ties to Khashogi and the former Shah of Iran.  The late Shah’s family was quite close to Khashogi from past dealings as head of Iran. Jay would surface potential technology acquisitions, Khashogi with intros from the Shah’s family would offer them through cut outs to the KGB. Jay was well aware he was organizing illegal trade transactions with the KGB.

During the course of Jay Rockefeller’s efforts to do so, which extended from 1983 to 1986, several elements of the conspiracy were busted by the Justice Department. Civil actions were brought against Rockefellers’ intermediaries by some of the companies who were being pressured to deliver technology. This halted Jay Rockefeller’s scheme altogether, which was based almost exclusively on illegal sale and transfer of restricted technologies to foreign lands to whom such technology sale and transfer was outlawed. Improper influence peddling, including bribery on Jay’s behalf of NY Attorney General Robert Abrams (resulting in his later resignation) and of other public figures helped Jay Rockefeller and his associates stay out of trouble.  Under pressure of exposure, Jay exited the Venture Capital activities and ran for Democrat Senator from W. Virginia in 1986, where this guilty secret has languished in his memory ever since.

Jay Rockefeller was almost exposed and apprehended when Organized Crime figures from Westchester County, NY, Yonkers, NY and Bronx, NY simultaneously sang to the Department of Justice during a RICO ACT matter that lasted from 1987 to 1993.  The ACSA’s investigation included background analysis of testimony in legal cases, statements by witnesses, and personal knowledge of some who were targeted by Jay Rockefeller when they refused to be involved nor would allow their companies or technology products to be illegally exported.  Those, Jay Rockefeller, with intermediaries in shareholders groups, arranged for Bernard Schwarz to file false complaints with Abrams who agreed to indict said companies wrongfully, in exchange for millions of dollars to Abrams campaign fund, to pressure them into cooperating with Jay Rockefeller, Khashogi and the sales to the KGB.  Abrams was also well ware he was cooperating in a scheme of enrichment profiteering from sales to the Soviet Union illegally during the cold war, but looked the other way for bribery. Abrams was later accused of selling his office by the NY State Ethics and Integrity in Government Commission and resigned to private practice. ACSA believes Abrams should have been disbarred and prosecuted for treason along with Bernard Schwarz, Asher Adelmen, Jay Rockefeller, and certain of the intermediaries in the Gambino family, including Gambino, Castiglionelli, Sorcher, Heit, Case, D’Onofrio and Casaburro.

An individual from that era who fought against allowing the illegal exports successfully commented that he felt: “At the time, the vast wealth and privileges of his being a member of the Rockefeller family likely prevented Jay Rockefeller’s apprehension and prosecution; he was able to buy all the protection he needed, political or otherwise, both as a family member and as the scion of the family.  However, that strongly suggests a pre-inclination on his part to service and support enemies of the United States, much as his family has during several wars, including World War II and the Nazis through IBM, Standard Oil, AGFA and others (cit: http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com) .  As a result, it is a foregone conclusion that Senator Rockefeller should be removed from the Senate, even if the Department of Justice was perhaps powerless to do anything about it. I’m not certain the FBI always knew all along he was trading illegal technologies with the Soviet Union during the Cold War ‘with the help of a few friends’, but at one time they and the CIA were advised of it.  Lacking definitive evidence would prevent prosecution.  He however is not qualified to hold a security clearance with the Senate Intelligence Committee and such clearance as he was granted must be revoked immediately.  There should be an investigation if only into his ties to the Mafia, the Shah, and Khashogi, not to mention the KGB.  Like so many other alleged Rockefeller crimes, the prolific use of bribed public figures and their vast wealth seems to shield these blatant criminals from punishment, allowing them to hide behind a shield of legitimacy and seeming philanthropy that really is a fabrication behind which lays the real, criminal agenda of the family.  Jay Rockefeller is a case in point, as likely few Americans realize what he’d done.  This is not a case of Le’Miserable, Senator Rockefeller can easily afford a loaf of bread for his family, in fact a trillion loaves.”

This story was investigated and certified accurate by members of the ACSA Integrity in Government Coalition between 1992 and 2008, was approved by editor Bill Inglis (who commissioned the story) and was contributed to originally by member Warren Heit who worked on the program with Jay Rockefeller for Asher Adelman with Casaburro from 1983 to 1988 and originated knowledge about Rockefeller’s master mind roll in it in disclosures during 1985, 1986 and 1987.
