He then paid me 75% of what our contract called for. He said "I won't turn this in to the IRS so you don't have to pay tax on it. We should be square." SerVaas and the mayor colluded for him to buy the Indianapolis Water Co. for a song. He then sold it back to the city for over $500 million. I won't even mention here his CIA ties. He was a true crook.<br /><br />Oh, and Eric: Stop threatening people. <b>That's not nice.</b>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080171033117234387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-78925378604852744792014-02-07T10:42:07.442-05:002014-02-07T10:42:07.442-05:00My parting suggestion is that you, Barbara and you...My parting suggestion is that you, Barbara and your six readers put on the tin foil hats and crawl back into your holes before my dad's spy friends come looking for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430472240924399047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-80918675458853232762014-02-07T08:03:19.550-05:002014-02-07T08:03:19.550-05:00Barbara Honneger's book has been out since 198...Barbara Honneger's book has been out since 1989.

"I suspect his former son-in-law, Bernard Marie, had ties to Veolia, if not one of his other friends in the spy community." What because he's French and it's a French company?! Why are ripping my dad with this BS? Are you really an attorney? If so, let's see some evidence beyond quotes from other conspiracy nuts. For anyone sane reading this, my father served as a naval officer in intelligence during and briefly after WWII. That's it. Sixty plus years ago. So, Mr. Welsh, I'd really be interested in your list of CIA front companies you claim my dad's been running all these years where the money "flows into your bank accounts without lifting a finger." I know I shouldn't engage someone like you but as we prepare for his funeral, I can't let you defame a good man unchallenged.

Seve...On the water company intrigue, from the IBJ:<br /><br />Seven years ago, former Indianapolis City-County Council President Beurt SerVaas proposed a pipeline from Indianapolis to Lake Monroe through his company Aquavisions.<br /><br /> The proposed $200 million project that would have drawn up to 90 million gallons a day drew critics in Bloomington. Griffin remembers one legislator from that area comparing the plan with theft, akin to, “When you pry my cold, dead hands off my pump handle—then you can have my water.”<br />http://www.ibj.com/water-utility-exploring-drastic-options-to-satisfy-long-term-demand/PARAMS/article/35767<br /><br />Gary R.

I thought he was very proud of his work as an intelligence asset. <br /><br />Barbara Honneger, October Surprise (1989)<br /><br />Wheaton claims that the "French Connection" to the U.S. "Irangate" includes then Senator Dan Quayle, President George Bush's choice for vice-president in 1988. According to Wheaton, a major source of Quayle's political power in Indiana, his home state, is a longtime associate of former CIA director William Casey, Beurt SerVaas. SerVaas, Wheaton says, was on the Executive Board of the Veterans of the O.S.S. (the predecessor organization to the CIA), which "runs the CIA from behind the scenes. " SerVaas's daughter, Joan, according to Wheaton, is married to an "off-the-books" French intelligence asset and Indiana resident, Bernard Marie. In 1982, Wheaton claims to have introduced Marie to Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officials who then played a key role in the Reagan-Bush Administration's secret deliveries of U.S. arms to Iran in the 1980's. DIA was one of the military intelligence agencies that was uninterested in prosecuting Colonel Ralph Broman for his arms dealings with the Khomeini regime out of Paris in the early to mid 1980's.<br /><br />Oliver North's courier in the Iran/Contra operation, Robert Owen, was introduced to another Indianan, John Hull, and to Contra commander Luis Rivas in Senator Dan Quayle's office on July 21, 1983, when Owen was Quayle's legislative aide. Senator Quayle reportedly stayed for the beginning of the meeting. That summer, Quayle authorized Owen to travel to Hull's ranch in Costa Rica at Hull's expense. The ranch was being used by the CIA as a military supply site for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, a relationship that continued throughout the period during which "profits" from the administration's secret arms sales to Iran were illegally diverted to the Contras. In November 1983, Robert Owen left the staff of Senator Dan Quayle and went to work for Oliver North's "Project Democracy," which oversaw secret U.S. arms shipments to both the Contras and to Iran.<br /><br />Considering Senator Quayle's reported link to French intelligence through Beurt SerVaas and Bernard Marie, and his link to Oliver North's "Project Democracy" through their mutual aide Robert Owen, it is more than likely that Mr. Quayle had also been made aware of secret U.S. arms shipments to Iran in the first years of the Reagan-Bush Administration. If so, it is probable that he was also privy to the genesis of those early arms deliveries to the Khomeini regime in alleged pre-1980-election meetings among future CIA director William Casey, Iranian representatives, and French intelligence agents. According to Gene Wheaton, "SerVaas brought Quayle into the Casey network early in the game."<br />Gary R.

Interesting fact was it was only reported in the Indianapolis Star once that he was going on a vacation to France.

Neither bothered to disclose a personal financial stake each had in the deal. Beurt owned a company that held the exclusive right to provide water to the water company via a pipeline from Lake Monroe to Indianapolis. Beurt claimed that he wanted the city to buy the water company from NiSource at a grossly inflated price because he didn't want it to be purchased by a foreign company. He knew full well when he said that the city was going to turn over operation of the water company to the French-owned Veolia under an arrangement that totally screwed over Indianapolis residents yet again. I suspect his former son-in-law, Bernard Marie, had ties to Veolia, if not one of his other friends in the spy community.Gary R.
