Albert
Einstein came to mind yesterday. Ambassador Lee – or, Leo, if you prefer – Emil
Wanta wrote an “Open Letter to the American Populace”
in response to inaccuracies included in an article by an international
financial journalist.
Ambassador
Wanta’s used to the lies. They have been told about
him for years by the intelligence community, to the intelligence community, and
in numerous courtrooms. Lies have been used against Wanta
to put him in prison. And, they have been told to sell newsletters. More lies
have been told about this American patriot than I can count. How do I know they
are lies? I have access to over 500 files on Leo/Lee Emil Wanta.
Some of them are court proceedings and records.
Einstein
said, “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted
with important matters.” I always remember that when reading editorial opinion.
It’s one thing to make a mistake. Any writer can do that. It’s another to lie…
big, or small. A lie is a lie. Manipulation of facts to fit a story line so as
to sell newspapers or newsletters is the worst kind of lie, especially if it
publicly defames someone.
Who
is Leo/Lee Wanta? Why does he have two first names?
If you do an Internet search using either of his names, you may get in excess
of two million hits (depending on your search engine). Many readers are
familiar with Wanta. He’s the $27.5 trillion man
referred to by international journalists Tom Heneghan,
Tom Flocco, Greg Szymanski, Christopher Story – and
me. In a NewsWithViews column, “How High Will the
Financial Fraud Reach?” I provided a link to an
article about Lee Wanta by Don Nicoloff
from the January 2007 Idaho Observer. An article by a Harvard Ph.D. and former
Wharton Professor of Economics, Dr. J. Orlin Grabbe, titled “The Big Wedding,” can also be found at that same site.
Some
people call him Leo, others Lee. The intelligence community generally calls him
Leo. So, too, did Claire Sterling in her book, Thieves’ World in which she
documented Leo Wanta’s role in bringing down the
Russian ruble – and, with it many say, the Iron Curtain. He refers to himself as “Ronald Reagan’s ‘ Favorite Junkyard Dog’.” In short, he is a financial
genius with a great deal of integrity and the depth of his love of country is
almost unfathomable.
The
name on his Wisconsin birth certificate is Lee Emil Wanta
but his Baptism certificate says Leo. During the time I’ve been in contact with
Ambassador Wanta, it has surprised me how few online
journalists mention him. He gets a lot of coverage in financial and
intelligence newsletters, but not much by mainstream Internet writers. There
are a lot of “is he for real?” questions. Many people, including journalists,
think not.
Because
I know him, I’ve avoided writing about him. We’ve been in contact since he read
my book, When the Swan’s Neck Breaks
(Xulon Press, 2008). It’s a book about the Federal
Reserve System, international financial intrigue, and spies. I unwittingly
fictionalized a character whose life to some degree paralleled that of
Ambassador Wanta. After he read it, he wrote a book
review (which is posted at NewsWithViews.com). At my request, he sent me
numerous files about himself, good and bad. He left it to me to research what
was true and what was not, which with another unbiased researcher, I did. I
asked him innumerable questions. He answered them. I researched his answers. He
has never lied to me.
I
got an email from Lee Wanta yesterday. For the first
time since I’ve known him, he responded to an article written about him by
Christopher Story, who writes and publishes a newsletter titled: International
Currency Review -- World Reports (ICR). If you can tolerate 200 word
sentences and constant contradictions of fact from one paragraph to the next,
it is an interesting publication. As long as you stick with facts, the
publication is good. When you start hearing words like “it would seem” or “this
must be” or “it could mean” – when words are used that indicate opinion rather
than facts are being referenced – be careful.
I
read the old issues of ICR and from 2004 until 2007,
Story could not say enough positive things about Leo Wanta.
Story cut his ties with him in 2007. Why? On April 15, 2003, U.S. District
Court of Virginia Judge Gerald Bruce Lee charged Wanta
with repatriating the $23 trillion and instructed him to pay taxes on it. In
2006, $4.5 trillion was internationally wired directly to Wanta,
care of Bank of America in Richmond, VA. Those funds disappeared into the
hidden recesses of America’s monetary system. Wanta
has been trying to pay taxes on the total amount -- $23 trillion and $4.5
trillion – ever since. It is from these two actions that the nickname “$27.5
trillion man” originates.
Story
reversed his engines in 2007. It almost sounds like he did so because Wanta wasn’t doing what Story thought best with all that
money. I mean, after all, Story has been a financial reporter for many years
and knows how things should be done. All Wanta has
ever accomplished is to bring down the Iron Curtain via manipulation of
Russia’s currency.
"Great
spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." Albert
Einstein.
The
first thing I asked myself is: How reliable is the judgment of a man who, for
years, built the popularity of his newsletter by telling one glowing story
about another man’s heroism, and for the next two or three years does the same
thing by tearing the hero down? As late as 2008, Story’s writings in International
Currency Review – World Reports validated that Leo Wanta
was the legal Trustor of $27.5 trillion, which he
refused to give control of to the American government (or to anyone else, for
that matter).
Ronald
Reagan planned for the original accumulation of funds and told Wanta the money was to be used for the benefit of the
American people, not to satiate government greed. I know that’s true because
Christopher Story – and a lot of other editorialists – wrote it. But the
government wasn’t paying attention to story lines. Evidently, there weren’t
enough exciting things happening after three years to hold ICR readers’
attention just by telling them what was going to happen when Ambassador Wanta got paid. Perhaps, to stir up further interest, Story
felt the need to reverse engines – to destroy the character of a man whom he
championed for years. Perhaps he had other reasons.
Albert
Einstein also said “Human beings must have action; and they will make it if
they cannot find it.”
On
Thursday, January 7, 2010, International Currency Review – World Reports
published a story with the headline “OPERATION STILLPOINT TO DESTROY AMERICA
STOPPED.”
It
is interesting to note that several documents in my research data refer to Leo
E. Wanta as “Stillpoint.”
It was President Ronald Reagan’s code name for him when Wanta
reported directly to him.
Regarding
that headline, Wanta said: “To my best knowledge and
belief, there is no ‘Operation Stillpoint’ to “take
down the United States.”
About four pages later in the article, Story says a five-phase, long-range
subversion operation is being implemented against the U.S. by subversives named
George Bush, Sr., Dr. Henry Kissinger (Story gives him ‘Heinz’ as a middle name
– I have no idea if it’s just an insult) and Dr. Alan Greenspan. Story calls
the former Fed Head “Bush Sr.’s criminal financier.” His last comment is “…with
embedded participation of Leo/Lee Wanta, the
following intended stages:” Story then lists the five stages contained within
the subversion operation.
Wanta’s reply relates only
to the inaccuracy of the statement pertaining to himself.
“There was never any embedded participation by Leo/Lee Wanta.”
Having looked at the 500 files I have gathered on Wanta,
I believe him.
On
page 24, Story beats his chest a bit about “How the Editor ‘Rode the Beast’.”
He says he attended a meeting in Washington, D.C. in June 2002, which was
convened by a group concerned with “managing the plight of 9/11 bereaved.” He
tells how an agent gave around 30 “portfolios containing copies of Federal
Reserve print-outs and other banking documents detailing corrupt financial
payments of immense proportions.” This information suggested illicit transfers
of funds had been made to George H.W. Bush while he was President. As Story
points out, this would be illegal. Authorization, Story says, was given by Dr
Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. He then calls Dr.
Greenspan “Bush Sr.’s master criminal finance technician.”
According
to Ambassador Wanta, the Editor attended a meeting in
Washington DC in June 2002. Wanta says all of the
corrupt financial payments of immense proportions, including illicit transfers,
were immediately placed in the hands of CIA operatives who had packed the
meeting at the last moment for the precise purpose of blocking distribution of
the documents. There was one exception. A portfolio was handed over to a
representative from Vanity Fair… another portfolio containing the ‘smoking gun’
documents was “…later obtained by the Editor of this service.” Isn’t that amazing?
Only two portfolios got away and one ended up in the hands of the Editor who
“Rode the Beast.” It appears Wanta was targeted by
Story. Wanta says that on a certain date in May 2004,
Christopher Story arrived at his doorstep – a very remote location.
Story
entered Wanta’s residence “…to covertly spy and
question me under duress to meet his mission objectives, and put my children
and grandchildren at great risk…”. Wanta
continues: “The Editor finally ADMITS in the spring of 2006, that Wanta repatriated $4.5 trillion to the United States of
America…”
This
is probably one of the most interesting pieces of intelligence that has occurred
in American financial history. It is sad so little has been written about it by
the Mainstream Media. It is especially sad that so much erroneous information
has been written about a man named Lee Emil Wanta.
