Notons egalement que l'UMHK etait fort active dans la lutte anticommuniste ...

notons aussi que l'acide sulfurique que le commissaire Soete et son frère (?) ont utilisé pour faire disparaire le corps découpé de Patrice Lumumba venait de cette Union minière

Autopsie de patrice LUMUMBA : un assassinat, des témoignages, une revue de presse



Nous assistons aujourd'hui à une nouvelle phase de la vie de Patrice Eméry LUMUMBA disparu prématurément au lendemain des années d'"Indépendance" en l'Afrique centrale, retracée à travers des films, des médias, des témoignages (parfois relatés par les auteurs de l'acte commis). Un voile est en train de se lever. Sangonet vous fait découvrir certains aspects connus, diffusés.

"J'ai découpé et dissous dans l'acide le corps de Lumumba"



"J'ai découpé et dissous dans l'acide le corps de Lumumba"

BRUGES (Belgique), 15 mai (AFP) - Près de quarante ans après l'assassinat de Patrice Lumumba, le Belge Gerard Soete vient enfin de se défaire d'un lourd secret : une nuit de janvier 1961, dans une puanteur d'acide sulfurique et de cadavres écartelés, il fit disparaître le corps du martyr congolais.
"Est-ce que la législation me le permettait ?", se demande-t-il aujourd'hui, à 80 ans et en bonne santé, dans son pavillon d'un faubourg résidentiel de Bruges (nord-ouest) où l'AFP l'a rencontré.
"Pour sauver des milliers de personnes et maintenir le calme dans une situation explosive, je pense que nous avons bienfait", ajoute-t-il, en dépit de "la crise morale" qu'il doit avoir traversée après cette nuit "atroce".

Le 17 janvier1961, sept mois après l'accession du Congo à l'indépendance, Patrice Lumumba, le premier chef de gouvernement du pays, était assassiné près d'Elisabethville (actuellement Lubumbashi, sud), capitale de la province alors sécessionniste du Katanga.
Criblé de balles, son corps n'a jamais été retrouvé, pas plus que ceux de deux proches tués avec lui, Joseph Okito et Maurice Mpolo.
Selon l'auteur, le but de l'élimination était, en pleine guerre froide, de maintenir le Congo dans la sphère d'influence occidentale.
La thèse a connu un tel écho qu'une commission d'enquête parlementaire belge, chargée d'éclaircir "l'implication éventuelle des responsables politiques belges" dans l'assassinat, a entamé ses travaux le 2 mai.
Une commission qui auditionnera Gérard Soete.
Commissaire de police chargé à l'époque de mettre en place une "police nationale katangaise", le Brugeois dut d'abord transporter les trois corps à 220 kilomètres du lieu d'exécution, pour les enfouir derrière une termitière, en pleine savane boisée.
De retour à Elisabethville, il reçut cependant "l'ordre" du ministre de l'intérieur Katangais Godefroi Munongo de faire littéralement disparaître les cadavres.
La popularité de Lumumba était telle que son cadavre restait en effet gênant. Le "pèlerinage" sur sa tombe pouvait raviver la lutte de ses partisans.
"Petit Gérard Soete de Bruges, je devais me débrouiller tout seul avec trois corps internationalement connus", résume-t-il aujourd'hui. "Toutes les autorités belges étaient sur place, et elles ne m'ont pas dit de ne rien faire", ajoute-t-il, avec un fort accent flamand.
Accompagné d'"un autre blanc" et de quelques congolais, épuisés "d'une scie à métaux, de deux grandes dames-jeannes et d'un fut d'acide sulfurique", il leur fallut toute la nuit, du 22 au 23 janvier, pour accomplir leur besogne.
"En pleine nuit africaine, nous avons commencé par nous saouler pour avoir du courage. On a écarté les corps. Le plus dur fut se les découper" avant de verser l'acide, explique l'octogénaire.
Il n'en restait presque plus rien, seules quelques dents. Et l'odeur ! Je me suis lavé trois fois et je me sentais toujours sale comme un barbare", ajouté-t-il.
De retour en Belgique après1973, Gérard Soete contera cette terrible nuit dans un roman, "pour (se) soulager", mais sans livrer son nom.

Extrait du "Nouvel Europe Magazine" de juin 1981 :

Un article sur le Cercle Pinay :

http://fr.scribd.com/doc/215652962/The-Pinay-Circle-Nexus-1996

Il me semble bien documenté, même si la magazine dont il est tiré ("Nexus") peut étonner...

Voici un témoignage qui pose question :

http://www.voltairenet.org/article12838.html

(...)  De même, on ignore si Antoine Pinay, Jean Violet et l’archiduc Otto de Habsbourg étaient les dirigeants effectifs du Cercle ou simplement ses cautions. Dans ses mémoires, Alan Clark, secrétaire d’État à la défense du cabinet Thatcher, qui assista à diverses réunions, assure que le Cercle était un outil créé par la CIA. Antoine Pinay est décédé le 13 décembre 1994 à l’âge de 99 ans.  (...)

_ _

Si le cercle était un instrument créé par la CIA, l'affaire des avions renifleurs fait également partie d'une stratégie de la CIA (ce qui me semble vraisemblable).

On se trouve donc face à une série d'actions menées pour récolter de l'argent de façon non-officielle afin de lutter contre le communisme : avions renifleurs, "casse" de Nice, "casse" de la rue Haute à Bruxelles, attaque de fourgons Securitas (avec des complicités en interne), etc

Cela explique au moins en partie la présence de Elio Ciolini, introduit en Belgique par Wellens ... Selon Philip Willan, Elio Ciolini est arrivé en Belgique après un séjour aux USA ...

Les diverses escroqueries de Elio Ciolini auraient donc servi à un financement occulte de l'extrême-droite (incluant des marchands d'armes) avec accord de la CIA...

Aitken dropped by the Right's secret club

Is it the ultimate dishonour? Chris Blackhurst on Le Cercle, an exclusive think-tank said to be funded by the CIA

Chris Blackhurst Sunday 29 June 1997

For the past few years Mr Aitken has been chairman of Le Cercle, a right-wing think-tank set up at the height of the Cold War for senior politicians, diplomats and intelligence agents which is one of the most influential, secretive, and, it goes without saying, exclusive political clubs in the West. Now he is about to be relieved of this role.

Since the collapse of his libel trial and the accusations of perjury against him, Le Cercle members have been talking discreetly in the dining- room of the Beefsteak and other right-wing clubs where they gather. "A consensus is emerging that he will be given time to resign and, if he does not, he will be asked to," said one member of Le Cercle.

In the world in which Mr Aitken operates, there can be no greater humiliation. So secret is Le Cercle, or just plain Cercle as it is known, that his chairmanship has never been revealed until now. Even the group's existence is only occasionally disclosed.

In his Diaries, Mr Aitken's close friend, Alan Clark, relates how he went with Mr Aitken and similarly right-thinking friends to a gathering in Muscat, Oman. He describes it as "an Atlanticist society of right- wing dignitaries" and, later, as "a right-wing think-tank, funded by the CIA, which churns Cold War concepts around".

The chairman before Mr Aitken was Julian Amery, the late Conservative minister; but in his extensive obituaries Cercle is not even mentioned. Before Lord Amery the chairman was Antoine Pinay, the former French prime minister - he was its first head and the group was known as "the Pinay Circle"; but again, his obituaries do not mention it.

One member contacted by this newspaper said he could not talk about it "even off, off the record". Another simply put the phone down.

Formed in the Fifties, Cercle was intended to cement Franco-German relations, as a buffer to Soviet aggression during the Cold War. Down the years, however, it has become much more,advocating right-wing causes round the world and growing into a confidential talking shop for about 70 politicans, businessmen, polemicists and personnel from the diplomatic and security services. Members are invited to attend its meetings; they cannot ask to be admitted, and as a condition of attending they agree to keep all sessions secret. It meets twice a year, once in Washington DC in the autumn and once in the early part of the year in an "overseas" venue.

This year's conference was in Berlin; last year's was in Amman.Among the speakers this year was Sir Percy Cradock, Britain's former ambassador to China and Margaret Thatcher's foreign policy adviser. Previous conferences have been held in Bucharest, Frankfurt and Oman. The group's British secretary is Geoffrey Tantum, a former security services officer, who lives in Surrey.

In this country, Cercle regulars number about 15, drawn mostly from the rich Tory right. Leading political lights are Paul Channon and Alan Duncan. David Burnside, the former British Airways public affairs chief, is a member - not for his BA work but for his passionate espousal of Ulster Unionism. Viscount Cranborne, John Major's former senior aide, has attended Cercle gatherings.

Brian Crozier, the author and well-known Cold-Warrior with close ties to MI6 and the CIA, is a senior member. Anthony Cavendish, the former senior MI5 man, is an old Cercle hand. Nicholas Elliot, the ex-MI6 officer, used to go to their meetings.

American regulars included Bill Casey and William Colby, heads of the CIA, Henry Kissinger, and Edwin Feulner from the Heritage Foundation. Mr Aitken's great hero, Richard Nixon, went to Cercle meetings after he left the White House. In Europe, Josef Bach, former chef de cabinet to the German Chancellor Adenauer, and Jean Violet, a Parisian lawyer and adviser to the French intelligence services, were also in Cercle.

In 1979, Mr Crozier presented a "planning paper" to the group. Among its aims was to secure changes of government in the UK and Germany. Mr Crozier noted that in the UK, with the accession of Mrs Thatcher, this had been achieved.

Other listed objectives were:

"Undercover financial transactions for political aims";

"International campaigns aiming to discredit hostile personalities or events";

"Creation of a (private) intelligence service specialising in a selective point of view";

"Establishment of offices under suitable cover each run by a co-ordinator from the central office. Current plans cover London, Washington, Paris, Munich and Madrid."

Despite the ending of the Cold War, the group is stronger than it ever was. The source of its funding is a mystery. Mr Clark and Robin Ramsay, editor of Lobster, the magazine that attempts to monitor the intelligence services, say it is the CIA. One member maintained that each person attending was asked to pay $500 to cover travel and that it was "entirely self- financing."

By all accounts, Mr Aitken loved being a member and adored being chairman. Its mixture of global politics and high-level intrigue suited him down to the ground. "He was always very prominent at the meetings; he was an excellent chairman," was the verdict of one Cercle member. He will miss it and they will miss him.

A Transnational History of the Cercle Pinay, 1952 - 1991

The Cercle Pinay, usually called the Cercle by its illustrious members, was one of the most influential, secretive and exclusive political clubs in the West during the Cold War and one of the most significant – yet least researched – groups engaged in transnational anti-communism. The regular meetings of the Cercle held around the world have brought together high-ranking politicians, diplomats, businessmen such as industrialists, bankers, publishers and editors, as well as military officers and (often former) intelligence agents from various Western countries.

Interdoc, die anders dan geschreven pas in 1963 effectief startte, was opgericht als een bureau gericht op misleiding en desinformatie. De leidende krachten van het begin waren Louis Einthoven, oud hoofd van de BVD en hoofd van dienst Operatiën, de Nederlandse Gladio en Cees van den Heuvel, oud hoofd opleidingen van de BVD. Bij Interdoc volgden de gesprekken over wat voor opdrachten we zouden gaan krijgen.

Het bleek te gaan over een specifieke undercover organisatie die altijd werd aangeduid als “De Dienst”, reden hiervoor was, dat je indien nodig altijd kon verzinnen wat voor dienst het was. Iedere agent moest beschikken over een cover die nagetrokken kon worden en waarin je voor “De Dienst” interessante figuren kon ontmoeten, zoals: restauranthouder, entertainer, leraar, jurist, politieagent etc. Ook kregen we actiebegeleiders toegewezen, in mijn geval was dat Kurt Görlitz uit Den Haag, waarover later meer.

De organisatie was de spionagetak van O(peratiën), van de inlichtingendienst buitenland, die later bekend zou worden als de Nederlandse Gladio. Dit alles ging in directe samenwerking met de C.I.A. die “De Dienst” en Interdoc financierde. Die installeerde hiervoor bij Interdoc, hun eigen man Graaf Carl Armfelt, die tevens de opdracht had stay-behind organisaties op te richten in Nederland en België.

Pesenti died in September 1984, and soon after it was announced that Allianz, the Munich-based European insurance group, would be buying Pesenti's 38% share along with other holdings purchased from Toro Assicurazioni and Saes, a subsidiary of IFI, the Agnelli family's holding company. As agreed, in 1987 Allianz's share rose to 51.51%.   (...)

Acquired in 1997, the Monique Garnier-Lançon papers in the Hoover Institution Archives document the career of a figure active in both the French political establishment and in international defense policy circles. The bulk of the papers are concerned with Garnier-Lançon's close involvement in the 1980s with the European Institute for Security Matters (EIS), an organization under whose auspices largely conservative opinion makers debated defense policy issues and lobbied for increased military spending by West European countries in the last years of the Cold War.

The EUROPEAN INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY MATTERS (EIS) FILE contains materials that detail European attitudes, especially in the defense establishment, toward security issues in the 1980s and 1990s. These include the deployment of SS-20 missiles by the Warsaw pact, the subsequent American deployment of Pershing missiles in Western Europe as a countermeasure, and the elaboration of the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") by the Reagan administration.

The EIS organized conferences, produced publications, and served as a network of like-minded specialists in security issues. As the eventual vice-president of the EIS, Garnier-Lançon served as an intermediary between French conservative circles and their counterparts elsewhere in Europe, in the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Garnier-Lançon traveled extensively, both on behalf of the EIS and in her capacity as adjointe au maire (deputy) in the Paris mayor's office. The extensive CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, AND MEETINGS FILE and TRAVEL FILE record her participation in various gatherings, and contain numerous conference papers, speeches, and related materials. The CONFERENCES series also contains some documents pertaining to Garnier-Lançon's attendance at the closed deliberations of an exclusive group known only as Le Cercle (sometimes referred to as Le Cercle Pinay and, later, as Le Cercle Violet) whose activities have attracted the attention of analysts interested in elite groupings and their influence upon policy decisions made by Western governments.

The SPEECHES AND WRITINGS series of the papers contains Garnier-Lançon's own articles and public remarks, although a few additional items are interspersed elsewhere in the collection, where they are identified. Her role as a woman active in the higher circles of French conservative politics is documented in the CORRESPONDENCE series and the MOUVEMENT POUR LA SOCIÉTÉ DE DÉVELOPPEMENT FILE. The SOUND RECORDINGS series contains interviews with a number of leading French politicians, included Jacques Chirac, with whom Garnier-Lançon worked closely. Many of these interviews were conducted by Garnier-Lançon, who worked as a journalist before entering politics.

Monique Garnier-Lançon (EIS) semble bien connaître Maître Violet (qui a une adresse à Nice) ...
