Peter David Beter (1921-1987), 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. Dr Beter was known for his highly controversial claims, some of which include allegations of conspiracy in the highest places: that John F. Kennedy's vice president Lyndon B Johnson was involved in his assassination ; that powerful figures like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and Jimmy Carter are dead and that they are actually organic robotoids; that Patty Hearst was kidnapped by the CIA after the Hearst newspaper chain publicized secret Congressional testimony showing that America's atomic secrets were actually handed over to the Soviets--not stolen by them--even before America's first atomic bomb was finished, and that the Rockefellers were directly involved in this; that the CIA was responsible for the secret death of General George Scratchley Brown because he simply knew "too much".. Through his tapes, Beter influenced various people such as the 1980s punk band, The Wanderers.
