Who was responsible for the transfer of known military technology? The concept has been sourced to Henry Kissinger. He told President Nixon that giving military technology to the Soviets would temper their global territorial ambitions. How Dr Kissinger arrived at this monstrous non sequitur is unknown, and some speculate he was not working for the United States.
Campaign contributions had much to do with it. Multinational contractors on Kama River were major contributors. However, a significant link never explored by Congress is that Henry Kissinger, as key promoter of the Kama River truck plant (at the policy level), was a former long-time employee of the Rockefellers, the largest shareholder in Chase Manhattan Bank (David R was Chairman at the time) and Chase was the chief sponsor for Kama River. This is more than the much criticised "revolving door." It is close to an arm's length relationship, or use of public policy for private ends. Kissinger did arouse considerable concern over having been a paid Rockefeller since 1958 and International Advisory Committee Chairman of the Chase Manhattan. But the deal went through nonetheless.
Other U.S.–Soviet trade accords were signed by George Pratt Shultz, who later became Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration and a long-standing proponent of more aid-for and trade-with the Soviets. Shultz was a former President of Bechtel Corporation, a multi-national contractor and engineering firm.
American taxpayers underwrote Kama financing through the Export-Import Bank. Their head at that time was William Casey, a former associate of Armand Hammer. He later (1985) became Director of the CIA. Financing was arranged by Chase Manhattan whose Chairman was David Rockefeller. Chase was also the former employer of Paul Volcker, who later became Chairman of the Federal Reserve. William Casey, did deny knowledge of military applications, despite their being pointed out to Washington DC officials from the late 60s.
The son of one of the founders of the American Communist Labour Party, Hammer became a multimillionaire capitalist, thanks in large measure to his relations with leaders of the Soviet Union. He has maintained cordial relations with Soviet leaders for more than half a century, providing Moscow with a vital link to Western industry and technology.
Six years ago, Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev gave him a luxurious Moscow apartment, and Kremlin officials have proposed that he be named United States ambassador to the Soviet Union. Such recommendations have made some members of the Reagan Administration uneasy. Says one member of the President's inner circle, who asked not to be identified by name, ''We simply don't know which side of the fence Hammer is on.''1
We cite these names and relations to demonstrate the tight ‘interlocking hold’ that proponents of military aid to the Soviet Union maintain on top policy making government positions.
Critics were ruthlessly silenced and suppressed, these included General Electric and IBM engineers who went on record regarding which technologies were being shared with the Soviets, while also complaining of the horrendous conditions Soviet workers were subjected to. Nearly a century later, not much has changed.

The testimonies of Major George Jordan and Lend-Lease affair officials shed light on weapons transfers and how middle-management and normal bureaucratic procedures were overridden to supply the Soviets. Among other game changing weapons, these included secrets and necessary equipment to build the nuclear bomb.
Wall Street’s strong ties and influence within the United States extends to UK and European banking cartels, particularly the City of London Rothschild group, known for a 300-year-old financial and industrial base that once extended across the British Empire to India and China where the “Rothschilds of the East”, the Sassoon3 and Kadoorie4 families dominated trade and still do.
The Sassoons were the biggest opium traders in the Indo-China. They viewed it as a controlling mechanism that would pacify the agitating Chinese public who objected to being treated like second class citizens.
“If taken moderately, opium was very beneficial. ... Indeed, the Chinese who smoked or imbibed opium were better behaved, quieter, and far more sensible than those addicted to alcoholic drinks,” declared the Sassoons.
In 1906, the British Parliament outlawed the sale of opium in China. With this route closed, the Sassoon family’s business turned primarily to hotels and construction of skyscrapers in Shanghai. An exception was their investment in a bank with branches in England and Hong Kong, which eventually became one of the world’s largest: HSBC— infamous for drug money laundering.5 They simply moved from Opium to Fentanyl.
Fast forward a century. The Kadoories lent their support to Mainland China’s control and throttle of the rights and liberties of supposedly fellow Hong Kongers.6
City modernisers were not always Europeans or Americans of the standard colonial mould. Shanghai’s modern makeover involved a small but extraordinary group of Jews from Iraq, Spain, Portugal and India who controlled property, entertainment, and financial interests. The Hardoon, Kadoorie, and Sassoon families helped create a new Shanghai that was neither Occident nor Orient.7
The ultimate aim is to regulate population movement and harvest the human resource data that will drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution under Quantum computers. Full implications are discussed in Chapters Three and Four.

The powerful Kissinger & Associates Group in China, has facilitated and continues to this day to trade in the region. Also, Sidney Rittenberg & Associates26 have a long- standing cosy relationship with China’s Communist regime. Sidney Rittenberg, a linguist and American Military Intelligence asset was attached to handle Mao Ze Dong. It is said his devotion to the party knew no bounds.9
Among many sabotage operations, Rittenberg informed the Communists that the USA will allow Chiang Kai-Shek to wipe out Communist troops in their own zone.
I got a very clear statement from General Marshall’s attaché, General Henry Byroade, that the Americans were definitely going to let the Nationalists attack and annihilate these 60-70,000 Communist troops in that area. I took that information to local commanders, Li Xiannian and so on, it proved correct, and they totally escaped the encirclement.10
Other Jewish Zionists like Frank Coe, Solomon Adler, Anna Louise Strong, and Israel Epstein, were members of Roosevelt’s war cabinet who proved central to the design and founding of the Chinese Communist State. Hence, weighty Jewish involvement in the founding of Communist China included Nathan Silvermaster, raised and educated in China before leaving for America. Many Jewish traitors are buried in China.
Rittenberg, like many technology-transfer program assets, remains an enigma. He was able to facilitate the rise of hostile foreign powers that killed American troops in Korea and Vietnam while facilitating the transfer of Intel chip technology and sundry technical components without being stopped at JFK. He died quietly in his California home in 2019, a successful businessman and intelligence asset. The full implication of his treachery is elaborated in later chapters.
Over the years, his services were engaged by hundreds of venture capitalists and American companies, including Microsoft, Intel, Prudential Insurance, Polaroid and Levi Strauss. He made a half-dozen business trips to China annually, and kept an apartment in Beijing.

“He may have been a card-carrying Communist, but he’s also very much a capitalist” said David Shrigley, a former Intel executive (The Times 2004). He said Rittenberg helped Intel open a semi-conductor plant in China in the 1990s. “He understands what’s really going on in a very nuanced way that proved tremendously valuable to us.”
On the other hand, the Rosenberg’s, who were low end assets in the Silvermaster spy ring, did not die quietly in their beds. They were executed for having a very small part in getting Atom Bomb secrets to the Soviets. As for Mr Rittenberg and Dr Kissinger: “How doth treason prosper? None dare call it treason.”
