March 28 (LPAC)--Former Vice President Al Gore chairs the London-based Generation Investment Management fund, founded in 2004, with billions now invested in supposedly "sustainable" enterprises.
The private Swiss bank, Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, runs European sales of shares in Generation Investment Management, and is itself the lagest investor in that Gore London fund.
Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, based in Geneva, manages the assets of wealthy families and agencies needing secrecy and "offshore" havens for tax-avoidance. It was formed in 2002 by merger of Lombard Odier and Darier Hentsch, and the families in charge of it have been in the same private banking business since 1796. Their clique, including such as the Pictet family, originated in the Geneva oligarchy of the late 18th century as a center for British intelligence and the subversion of France and America through such leading figures as Necker, Gallatin, Voltaire, Andre, and the Mallet clan.
The London Guardian reported (Dec. 5, 2003) how BAE Systems (British Aerospace), the biggest British arms dealer, ran secret payments, bribes and commissions, to people in various governments, using the Swiss bank. The Guardian reported:
"[One commission agent] said as long ago as the 1980s, he had to fly to Geneva to sign secret deals on arms sales to India.... According to our sources, when secret payments were organised, a confidential agency agreement would be drawn up with a single copy. The head of [BAE] marketing services, or sometimes his assistant, would fly to Geneva with the document.
"It is claimed some signings took place in the 1990s at the offices of a Swiss private bank, Lombard Odier, which kept the single copy of each agreement. The parties were never allowed access to it without the other being present."
These practices were cooked up between the Swiss bankers and the British to keep BAE's "fingerprints" off the transactions.
On Monday, March 24, Al Gore announced he was joining the California private equity firm of billionaire John Doerr. It had been previously announced that Doerr has joined Gore's London company, Generation Investment Management, and has gone on Generation's "Advisory Board."
With his London sponsorship, Gore is reportedly rounding up California money for a slush fund to back his potential role as a controller of this summer's Democratic National Convention.
