[344] Final Judgment 441
In their friendly biography of Meyer Lansky, authors Dennis Eisenberg, Uri
Dan and Eli Landau feature an entire chapter devoted to Lansky's Mossad
associate, Tibor Rosenbaum, and examine Rosenbaum's colorful and
intriguing international connections. Of Rosenbaum, they point out:
"Another of his good friends in high places was Prince Bernhard,
consort of the Queen of the Netherlands, who invited him to the royal palace
in Holland to lecture leading Dutch bankers on good business practices. Here
too a scandal ensued, when the Prince sold a castle, the Warmelo, for
$400,000 to a Liechtenstein firm, Evlyma, Inc., owned by Rosenbaum's
[BCI]. Just why this castle was sold to the Swiss banker for what is described
as a ridiculously low price has never been made clear." 877
(Needless to say, the origins of this strange deal between Bernhard and
Rosenbaum is grist for a conspiracy theorist's mill. Was it a pay-off from
Bernhard to Rosenbaum for some other favor—such as Rosenbaum having
orchestrated an assassination, using his Mossad connections, for Bernhard
and his associates?
(Or was it instead, maybe, some blackmail payment by Bernhard to
Rosenbaum who, with his Mossad sources, might have come across some
compromising information about the controversial prince who was known
to be a wheeler and dealer of the worst order?)
At any rate—at the same time that Bernhard was engaged in intrigue
with Tibor Rosenbaum he was also bringing Gerald Ford into the highest
circles of the international elite.
THE BILDERBERG CONNECTION
Bernhard, the founder of a private international annual gathering, known as
the Bilderberg meetings, invited the Michigan congressman (just recently
appointed to the Warren Commission) to attend the 1964 Bilderberg meeting
held in Williamsburg, Virginia on March 20-22 of that year. The meetings
had been held regularly at locations around the world since 1954, named after
the Bilderberg Hotel in Holland where the first such meeting was held.
On April 11, 1964 Senator Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.) rose on the Senate floor
to announce that he had been in attendance at the 1964 meeting in
Williamsburg, Virginia. Joining him at the meeting, according to a list of
participants that Javits published in the Congressional Record, was only one
other member of Congress—Gerald Ford. Also at the meeting was John J.
McCloy, described as "lawyer and diplomat." 878 McCloy, along with Ford,
was also at this time a member of the Warren Commission.
This international meeting—which concluded precisely four months
after the death of President Kennedy—could not have failed to have addressed
the impact of JFK's assassination on world affairs. What's more, there can
be no doubt that the ramifications of a possible conspiracy in the
assassination—particularly one emanating from a foreign source (whether it
be Castro's Cuba, the Soviet KGB—or the Mossad)—was also the subject
of discussion. It is highly unlikely, as a consequence, that the two Warren
