Peter David Beter

Peter David Beter (1921-1987), a Roman Catholic, was an U.S. lawyer, who became a conspiracy theorist. Beter practised law in Washington D.C. between 1951 to 1961, prior to being appointed by John F. Kennedy as the counsel for the Export-Import Bank of the United States, where he served until 1967. Beter also co-founded a mining exploration company in Zaire, and represented international financial interests in Europe, South America, and the Middle East. He wrote a controversial book, Conspiracy Against the Dollar: The Spirit of the New Imperialism, published in 1973 (G. Braziller, ISBN 080760710X), which explains his conspiracy theory that world events were controlled by three factions, the Rockefeller Cartel, the Bolshevik-Zionist axis, and the Kremlin. In 1974, Beter publicly stated that most of the gold in Fort Knox had been sold to European interests, at prices vastly below market rates. According to this conspiracy theory, international speculators had dishonestly obtained the gold.

Beter released a series of 80 audio newsletter tapes between 1975 and 1982. Through his tapes, Beter influenced various people such as the 1980s punk band, The Wanderers.
