Blowing the
whistle – in “shit”
Blowing the
whistle is a way of keeping the train on the track. In
Dagny
Amelia Olsen (aka ”Amelia Riis”) and her business partner Einar Riis
Johannessen (aka Einar Rus Johansen) the arms dealer, have claimed to be poor and flat broke since
the late 1970’. In a staged TV2-performance in May 2007 Olsen appeared as a
poor and betrayed dishwashing widow living in a worn-out apartment owned by the
bank that allegedly stole her inheritance; DNB NOR.
As exposed
in an earlier article in www.RettsNorge.no
this family has been anything but broke as it has become clear that they have
been stashing away huge funds in Switzerland, the Canary Islands, Monaco, USA,
and most likely in Canada as well as in other countries. No taxes have been
paid on their income or wealth. Nevertheless I have been appointed as the
testamentary executor to find whatever assets belonging to the estate of the
late Einar Riis Johannessen,
To
convince the Norwegian Government and tax authorities that tax-fraud has been
committed, you don’t need to present any proof. Why is that? Because these
institutions don’t want to know. Why is that? Because certain families seems to
be under protection, in this specific case; either due to the fact that “Amelia
Riis” is a daughter of a ship owner (which normally will qualify for
Governmental protection, e.g. Grace Reksten Skaugen, the Olsen &
Ugelstad-families, The Fred. and Petter Olsen-families, the
Ditlev-Simonsen-familie and many others), and/or that their business (arms
dealing) might involve the Norwegian Government. So there we are.
In my letter of September 3 2007 to the Norwegian Minister of
Finance, Kristin Halvorsen,
I informed the minister about the illicit funds which Norwegian ship owners had
been stashing away in Switzerland since the end of the WWII, this on explicit
instructions from the former Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen. Halvorsen’s reply
in her letter of
“The
Ministry has no knowledge to assets in relation to Norwegian shipping that
qualifies to any activation in the Central Government Accounts.”
What does this
really mean? Well, she doesn’t actually state that there are no assets stashed
away in
How much
money are we talking about here? Billions of dollars,
deprived from the people of
Who is in
charge of these funds? The ship owners? The Labour Party? The Swiss P26 in
collaboration with H.M.K Okkupasjonsberedskap (former Stay Behind)? or the “famous” Jens Christian Hauge’s successors? This will be disclosed
in the time to come.
In 1945
then Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen (a former road worker, communist and
conveniently converted socialist) ordered the
Norwegian ship owners to keep their profit abroad (interview only in Norwegian), out of reach of tax
authorities and all the frustrated heirs that didn’t fully know about this
scheme thus believing that they were entitled to their heir. For what reason
you might ask? These assets, which obviously would grow, were meant to be used
as a standby reserve in case the read
army should flow into Norwegian territory from the east. This never
happened and the funds just never stopped growing. You can only imagine in what
way these huge funds could be spent; everything from bribing of other
Governments in negotiations over an oilfield, to acquiring foreign and
Norwegian companies, infiltrate and obstruct political elections, planning and
committing terror actions, funding arms dealings and so forth. There is no
control over these funds which makes it open for just about anything, and thus
appearing as a nice desirable prey for the right organisation.
In our
research we have found at least one Swiss institution that has been used – by
Norwegian ship owners – as a depot for these assets. This institution has since
1958, when it was established, been operating as a bank without any banking licence/authorisation (a highly criminal
activity according to the Swiss criminal law). This has been confirmed by the
Swiss Federal Banking Commission in an e-mail
to me of
It seems
that these ship owners could – within the environment of a very supportive
Government and its sleeping-duck-tax authorities – make withdrawals whenever
needed. This has been confirmed by one of the foremost shipping professionals
in
Last year
we uncovered parts of this Norwegian/Swiss scheme and we notified the Ministry
of Finance and Halvorsen about it. As the estate of the late Einar Riis
Johannessen has interests in these funds I wrote a letter of April 21 2008 where I among other things informed
the Norwegian tax authorities and the Minister of Finance about Dagny Amelia
Olsen’s (aka Amelia Riis) concealed fortune hidden in Switzerland and that the
minister should keep us informed about the progress of this case. This letter
was followed up by another letter to the Minister of Finance of
The
Minister of Finance refused to have anything to do with this matter. On the
contrary it seems that she or some of her close staff contacted a Trygve
Hegnar,[1]
a journalist and owner of a Norwegian financial paper, and obviously asked him
to retaliate by all available means.
Why would
she do a thing like that? Most likely because she is tied up and has been
forced to resign to this old established criminal system. But as Halvorsen’s
father was a close director to Mr. Johan
B Holte, the infamous Norsk Hydro-director who also illegally stashed away
huge funds in Swiss “institutions”, her actions could of course origin from an
idea of protecting her own father (who according to this article
must have received funds from these illegal accounts) as well as other liable
persons around Holte. After all she has been living in Qatar together with the
rest of her family at the time when Norsk Hydro (her fathers employer in Qatar)
made huge fraud-operations in the Middle East (Bahrain (ALBA) and most likely
in Qatar (Qafco) together with Hambros Bank and the Norwegian ship owner,
Hilmar A. Reksten, father of Grace
Reksten Skaugen the latter known to have been running around in Europe
(together with her mother Carol Montgomery Reksten) during the 1980’ with
suitcases full of money, chased by Norwegian official receivers.
So after I
informed the Norwegian Tax authorities, the Minister of Finance turned around
and did what people in her situation and position normally do; aiming all
available power towards the person that blows the whistle which can rock her
status-quo-power and the positions of the foul guys behind her.
And now
I’ll return to the beginning of this piece: Dagny Amelia Olsen and Einar Riis
Johannessen. Proofs of foul play, millions abroad, flat broke at home, thus no
tax to be paid.
The
Johannessen-family wanted the Norwegian readers to dwell down with a picture of
a poor old couple fighting for their rights, deprived of all their money. Only
their honour was left. This sound too good to be true (after all we are talking
about a daughter of a ship owner and her alleged husband), so let’s have a look
behind the curtain.
During the
period of March 1984 till the end of February 1985 the US dollar had
strengthened itself against the Norwegian Krone by some 30%. Between March 15 and
The
conversation goes in Norwegian. Basically the couple are discussing the drop in
value of the currency in question, and that something has to be done,
immediately. The “wife” suggests that she can go to the post office on Saturday
and send off an express letter to their contact person (the currency deal was
thus done from
In Einar
Riis Johannessens world a few hundred thousand or even a few millions were
never “a lot of money”, so we definitely talk about millions of dollars
invested only in currency, especially having in mind that the late Johannessen
in the conversation states that there is a risk of loosing a “lot of money”.
10% of $ 100.000 is in their world not “a lot”. 10% of $ 10 million is more
like “a lot”.
We also
know that the couple, in this same period, had engaged the Norwegian journalist
Alf R. Jacobsen to help them in their fight against the Norwegian Government.
This journalist’s task was to run around in the Government and in the
Parliament pushing buttons to have the so called “Riis-case” investigated by
the law makers. In this regard he prepared several notes for the legislators.
The
relationship became so close that Mr. Jacobsen was just “Alf” in all their
conversations. And of course, such an engagement is not cheap. Not long before
this, Johannessen shipped another journalist over to the East Coast of the
Anyhow,
the interesting aspect about the currency-story above isn’t the dollar and its
ever changing value, but – as you might have sensed – the mere fact that this
“poor” old couple had money to invest in currency, to pay off journalists and
so forth. We are talking big bucks, and they got away with it, at least up till
now.
As for the
time being we don’t know the exact amount that this “poor” family had invested
in different portfolios in April 1985, but having in mind their quite
extraordinary business, we are definitely talking about huge sums. And the
Norwegian tax authorities? Well, they don’t want to know about this. They are
more interested in taking down persons and organisations that attempt to
educate the people about what is really going on in their own country.
The late
lawyer Tore S. Engelschiøn – the Johannessen-family’s former in-house-lawyer –
has received some $ 1.8 million during the 1970’ and 1980’ in fees from this
family. According to the late Johannessen, the lawyer received the money in
Switzerland, in his secret Swiss accounts, out of reach of his partners.
Again,
what about the Norwegian tax authorities? Well, Mr. Engelschiøn was a buffer
between the Government/ship owners and their heirs, representing both Amelia
and Astrid Reksten Høyer among other heirs, and was practically a Governmental
fire extinguisher, so of course he was of no interest to the tax authorities.
In this regard it is worth noting that Mr. Engelschiøn was the son of Otto S.
Engelschiøn (head of the Norwegian intelligence and security service during the
WWII), and a member of the “Norwegian Society”, as well as the Stay Behind. In
other words a member of the inner circle of untouchables.
I oppose
to these criminals and their criminal activity. My opposition to this is most
likely the reason why the Government passed a decree in the spring of 2004 (see
this article and linked articles inside) stating that I was never
ever to get authorisation as a lawyer, and why the latest heading in
Finansavisen, about me, sounded something like this:
- Informed
about a hidden fortune
- The
informer is now under investigation
and the
journalist seems to have got his therapy for the day.
By this
the Government sends out an unmistakeable signal through their mediums: -
Attack our dirty activity and you will be sorry.
According
to this article in the Finansavisen, it seems that the Minister of Finance,
Kristin Halvorsen, has come to an agreement with the
What about
the criminals then, Halvorsen? The ship owners, the heirs of the ship owners?
The Viking Bank-fraud? The Government and the backers that made this Norwegian/Swiss
fraud possible? The Hydro-Reksten fraud in the

obviously a structural problem in

write; “educated”, I mean that you have to let go of deep rooted thoughts that
through years of manipulation has settled down as established arguments and
“facts”, this in order to be able to reason freely and independently, and then be able to understand what is
already written about this problem e.g. on the Internet. It is worth while
investigating your own rights and your legal and social position in the
society. So let go and go ahead educate yourself. You will be amazed how bad it
is, but you will also be amazed how much power you have if you just want it to
happen.

few months there is a general election in
