Two of my major interests, Asbestos and
early 20th Century European history, suddenly crossed paths last
fall. While I was reading Blowback by by Christopher Simpson, I
ran across a reference to J. Peter Grace, CEO of W.R. Grace (p
126). A military report said, he helped a certain Nazi Colonel
Brite escape to Bolivia, according to Nazi Connection to the JFK
Assassination by Mae Brussell. Grace was the bad actor in A Civil
Action, and is responsible for the Libby Montana asbestos containing
vermiculite problem.
Region 8 sent an Emergency Response Team to Libby, Montana in
November 1999. EPA continues to assess the situation in coordination
with federal, state and local agencies.
Tiny Libby, Mont., depended for years on the jobs at a
vermiculite mine. But the mine is closed now, and a P-I investigation
shows the town is paying a tragic price for those jobs.
Yahoo! - Grace, which filed for Chapter 11 in April 2001
following a sharp rise in asbestos claims, said it wanted to intervene
in the suits to protect groups whose interests might be different
from the asbestos claimants'
Under Chapter 11, Grace is operating its businesses as
debtor-in-possession under court protection from its creditors and
claimants, while using the Chapter 11 process to develop and
implement a plan for addressing the asbestos-related claims against
it.

legal matters including pending commercial insurer litigation by taking

In addition to asbestos, there's a long list of other
contaminants in the soil at high enough levels to pose a health risk.
Furthermore, the area that Grace wants to develop is in the flood plain
of Alewife Brook.
A lot of the historical
revision was used to vindicate Germans who took part, and began before
the fall of Berlin in early 1945. The role of American
Industrialists is rarely mentioned. One notable American is J.
Peter Grace.
Frederick Flick's son was close to the W.R. Grace Company,
and invested over $400,000 in partnership with J. Peter Grace in the
United States. During the war, W.R. Grace was accused in a military
report of protecting a certain nazi Colonel Brite in Bolivia. In 1951,
when the CIA smuggled Barbie out of Germany, he was sent to join the
same Colonel Brite. George de Mohrenschildt was a close associate of the
company's founder, William Grace.
Otto Ambros, overseer of the rubber plant at Auschwitz, who
was convicted of slavery and mass murder at Nuremberg. Through the
intervention of J. Peter Grace, Ambros was freed from prison after only
three years, and brought to the US to work for W. R. Grace.
Founded in 1984 by the late industrialist J. Peter Grace and
syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, CAGW is the legacy of the
President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, also known as the
Grace Commission.
J. Peter Grace, Chairman of the Board of AIFLD and also
Chairman of the Board of the W.R. Grace Corporation, one of the ninety
five transnational companies that ack the Institute, applies the
