One of these same investors – Khashoggi – was a primary money mover for the Marcos
family, thus linking him to the origins of one of the major sources of gold at the heart of
this crime, and linking Barrick to a source of knowledge of illegal gold.
"Khashoggi had long been associated with Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos and the so-called Marcos
gold. Indeed, so trusted was he that Marcos had him fronting for two "eclipsed" Marcos accounts--one
in the name of Etablissement Mabari with the private Swiss bank of Lombard Odier & Cie, and the
other in the name of Etablissement Gladiator at COGES Corraterie Gestion SA, Geneva." [Nexus
Magazine, Volume 10, Number 6 (October-November 2003), David G. Guyatt ]
"Marcos and Khashoggi set about to create Five Star Trust in 1983 as a means to create a vehicle to use
the Philippine wealth to create and funnel fungible assets. In 1989, Five Star Trust was officially
established in the Isle of Man by a Houston-based attorney who was a close friend of the Bush
family… Five Star entities, active and dissolved, have been discovered in the Isle of Man, the island of
Nevis, the Bahamas, Florida, Kentucky, and Texas. Other Five Star-related entities stored large sums
of money in the Cook Islands, according to U.S. intelligence sources, and these funds were directly
linked to Khashoggi and BCCI …. Five Star's accounts are said to funnel more funds from Saudi
Arabia as well as cash reserves hidden away in offshore artificial shells by Enron before it collapsed ."

Khashoggi’s acquaintance with Munk is reported to go back as far as 1974, when they
were investment partners. Peter Munk is a Hungarian who fled from Hungary to
Switzerland with his parents to escape the Holocaust.
Peter Munk was brought into business prominence by Sir Henry Keswick, with an able
assist from Sir Peter Abeles. Peter Abeles was a business partner of Bernie Houghton and
Michael Hand of the Nugan Hand Bank in Australia. Nugan Hand was a major CIA front
for moving Marcos gold and laundering narco trade profits weapons. Keswick himself
appears as no stranger to the money-laundering world. “According the the author’s of the
book “Dope Inc,” the Keswick family control a substantial part of the world’s narcotic
trade and use HSBC, the bank they are said to control, to ‘provide centralized
redsicounting facilities for financing of the drugs trade.” [David Guyatt, Project Hammer
Reloaded, 2003] Munk’s origin’s with the ‘Hungarian Mafia’ in Australia easily could
have provided him with a connection to the Marcos/CIA gold stores.
“Munk's approved biography reports that this Vansittart activated the formidable Sir Henry Keswick,
who made arrangements to lift Munk into a new career. Keswick's family merchant banking firm,
Jardine Matheson, had long been the British Empire's leading, out-in-the-open organizer of Asian
illegal narcotics trafficking and drug-money-laundering. (Keswick, Jardine Matheson, and their
cohorts are central figures in {EIR'}s book {Dope, Inc.} (Washington, D.C.: Executive Intelligence
Review, third edition, 1992.)
Jardine Matheson made Munk the chief executive of a Bahamas-registered hotel corporation called
Southern Pacific Properties (SPP), with Jardine money, and Jardine's chief executive, David
Newbigging, as a director. Then, Jardine's historical dope partner, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company (P&O), joined the Munk enterprise; P&O's Lord Geddes himself joined
Newbigging on the Munk-SPP board. In future years, as Munk rose to world prominence in the gold
business, the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. and the Royal Bank of Canada, two ``Dope, Inc.''
financial agencies, would provide credit in the billions of dollars for Munk's expansion.
