taking, and Canada would be the object les- son. Then, chillingly, he described some- thing familiar to any military strategist. The penetration and looting of HUD was the test bed, the proving ground, the "White Sands" of the Promis economic atomic bomb. Once the CIA and the economic powers-that-be had proven that over a peri- od of years they could infiltrate and loot $59 billion from HUD, they knew they could do it anywhere. Said Tyree: "Then they knew they had what it took to go abroad and create mayhem... It was planned twenty years ago." It took several days to reach Sean McDade, as he had been on vacation. I played the Tyree tape for him over an open phone line into RCMP headquarters. He asked me to make a physical copy right away and send it to him. After he'd had time to listen to it, he cautioned me against sending it anywhere else. I told him that as long as his investigation was active, I would do nothing more than make the stan- dard copies I make of any sensitive docu- ments as a precaution. I could tell that the tape had rattled him. Though I had known from the start that the large and energetic Mountie, whom I believed to be a dedicated and honest man, would never be allowed to ride his case out to the end, I still had hopes. But in my heart I knew that Tyree was right. In all the years he had been feeding me informa- tion, I had never known him to be wrong— and apparently, neither had Bill Hamilton. I did not send a copy of the tape to Hamilton because I knew how difficult and potentially dangerous McDade's job was going to be, now that the press had exposed him. Having been a cop in dangerous political, CIA-infested waters, I knew what it was like not to know whom you could trust. If keeping the tape quiet would give the Mounties an edge, I would do it—but only as long as they had a case. came up. I suggested that rapidly vanish- ing support both in South America and Europe was threatening the military opera- tions of "Plan Colombia" and the economic boost it would give the US economy. Tyree jumped in: "If I can put Canada in line and show the eurodollar, the ‘Eurotrash’, what I have already done to my neighbour, whom I value to some degree... Remember, these are not nice people: these are financial thugs at their worst. So what they are going to do is sit down dis- creetly and say, ‘Look, this is what we did to Canada. Now, would you like us to do this to the European market as well?’ Mike, they're not going to think twice about it... A weapon is only good if some- one knows what its capability is. Prior to using the atomic bomb, it was irrelevant... They refer to it as the Nagasaki syndrome." After describing in some detail how the financial powers-that-be had gutted American manufacturing productivity through globalisation, he described a strate- gy intended to halt any move by the euro to overshadow the dollar or even compete with it. It was pure economic hostage- EXIT THE MOUNTIES Then it was over. On September 16th, the Toronto Star announced that the RCMP had suddenly closed its Promis investiga- tion with the flat disclaimer that it did not have and never did have any version of Bill Hamilton's software. That was as shocking a statement as it was absurd. "The only way that you can identify NEXUS - 81 The PROMIS Threat Continued from page 34 Continued on page 82 DECEMBER 2000 — JANUARY 2001
