However, there is reason to suppose that the dollar "assets" that date back to the 1940s and 1950s, as earlier discussed byGeneral Erle Cocke, may relate in part to vast quantities of gold looted duringWorld War II by the Japanese plunder teams (known as the Golden Lily) and also by the Nazis in Europe. That substantial amounts of gold bullion were ransacked and then hidden throughout the Philippines prior to war's end is now undeniable. This, however, was "black" gold—meaning it did not appear on official statistics or in treasury department lists. Santa Romana was an OSS officer operating in the Philippines during the war and learned where the Japanese had buried plundered gold and other valuables. But there areother aspects to the Santa Romana gold story that are only now coming to the surface.They reveal a shocking secret that, if true, could shake the foundations of our belief andchange the way we view the world we live in. According to Santa Romana's widow, Luz, her husband told her that he was a member of the Illuminati—a very secretive elite group that dates back to 1776 when it was found-ed by Adam Weishaupt at the University of Ingolstadt, Germany. According to thosewho have researched it, the purpose of the Illuminati was to set in motion, in secret, aNew World Order of world revolution. This, however, does not fully tally with what Santa Romana told his wife about them. According to Luz, the purpose of the Illuminati was based on the knowledge that the royalfamilies of Europe were aware that they were losing political and effective control of theirnations. But it was the possible loss of control over the wealth of their kingdoms thatbothered them most. Consequently, they founded the Illuminati and set in motion long-term plans aimed at secretly taking control of world finances, especially gold and otherprecious metals. In time, the royal families who sat at the centre of the Illuminati movement were forced to expand and take into membership political and business leaders. At some point in theearly 20th century, two 50-year plans were set in motion, aimed at cornering the world'sprecious metal reserves. The foregoing is the account given to Luz by her husband Santa Romana. How true it is remains to be seen, and it is not hard to view it as disinformation told by Santa Romanato his wife to conceal his real motives—whatever they may have been. More intriguing still is Luz's account that her late husband was the one-time "head" of the Trilateral Commission—an elite group which is known to have tentacles deeplyembedded in the Marcos gold story of later years. Again, there is no corroborating evi-dence, and the fact that the Trilateral Commission was founded only in 1973, whereasSanta Romana died in 1974, suggests this is unlikely. However, it is more than a little curious that whilst Santa Romana eventually (and undoubtedly) came to control the great bulk of gold that resulted from plunder duringWWII, he did have substantial gold deposits dating back further than that. Papers relating to the "estate" of Santa Romana purport to show a gold account at the Union Bank of Switzerland, Zurich, containing 8,000 metric tonnes valued at US$10 bil-lion. The account dates back to 1920. Such a quantity of gold dating from that periodrepresents a massive holding, far surpassing that held today by the world's leading centralbanks.
