[120] Final Judgment 181
Buckley, Sr. incorporated Pan-Israel Oil Co (headquartered in Jerusalem)
with Buckley, Sr. as president. Directors of the company included several
Israelis. Simultaneously, Israel-Mediterranean Petroleum, Inc. was
incorporated under the laws of Panama. The principal offices of the firm
were in Jerusalem at the same address where Pan-Israel Oil Co. was located.
James L. Buckley was one of the vice presidents. All of the voting stock for
the two companies was held in the voting trust. No members of the Buckley
family, however, held votes. The voting trustees had Jewish names.
Pan-Israel and Israel-Mediterranean jointly owned eight petroleum
licenses, all located in Israel. The two companies also owned Mana Oil
Distributors and Tri-Continent Drilling Co., a subsidiary of the Pantepec
Oil Company (later absorbed by Pantepec International Petroleum, Ltd.).
President of PIP, Ltd. was John W. Buckley who, with his brother
James L. Buckley, served on the board of directors. These companies,
together conducted global operations with oil properties in Australia, South
America, Canada, Libya, Spanish Sahara, the Philippines and Israel. 322
That the Hunt- and CIA-linked Buckley family should also be so
closely tied to the Novo brothers, implicated in both the JFK and Orlando
Letelier assassinations is intriguing.
More so, perhaps, because the Novo brothers' associate in the Letelier
assassination—at least—was himself intimately tied to the Meyer Lansky
Organized Crime Syndicate and an Israeli Mossad-sponsored money
laundering operation.
Incredibly enough, however, there is yet another bizarre Buckley family
link to a key player in the strange world of JFK's alleged assassin, Lee
Harvey Oswald, and the JFK assassination conspiracy.
THE BUCKLEY-DeMOHRENSCHILDT CONNECTION
This link came in the person of the colorful Russian nobleman,
George DeMohrenschildt, who befriended Oswald upon the young
American's return from exile (some would say "CIA service") in the Soviet
Union. DeMohrenschildt, who is reputed to have worked for various
international intelligence agencies, had a long-standing relationship with the
CIA, dating back to the days of the CIA's predecessor, the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS), in which, incidentally, E. Howard Hunt himself
had served. 323
The European nobleman, however, traveled around the globe primarily
in his capacity as an oil engineer. It was in this guise that he came into
contact with the Buckley family. As early as 1945 DeMohrenschildt worked
directly under Warren Smith, then the president of the Pantepec Oil Co., the
Buckley family's Mexican oil company, established in 1914.
DeMohrenschildt and Smith eventually formed the Cuban-Venezuelan Oil
Trust Co. The Buckley Family's Pantepec, interestingly enough, had, by
that time, already shifted its focus to Venezuela. 324
