Jerome Hauer's Roles and Affiliations:
===Prior to 9/11===
In the late 1990s (1996 to 2000), he served as the head of New York's Office of Emergency Management (OEM). By February 2001, he was a "senior advisor to the Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, for national security and emergency management." Concurrently, in February 2001, he was the Managing Director of Kroll, Inc. (formerly Kroll, O’Gara, Eisenhardt), which is a notorious CIA front used to park CIA agents in need of cover. Officially, its a private investigative and security firm. This role, given Kroll's involvement in executive protection for U.S. government officials (including the president), would necessitate "close liaison with the Secret Service."

Kroll's corporate staff included high-level retired law enforcement, Secret Service, CIA, FBI, and other intelligence personnel. Kroll also provided "substantial services to the Saudi government." Parr ownership of Kroll was acquired by the American International Group (AIG) in the late 1990s. Just prior to 9/11, AIG buys a known CIA front company...Kroll. Kroll's Board of Directors included Frank G. Wisner Jr., also an AIG board member and son of one of the CIA's creators, Frank Wisner Sr. Yes, the famed 'Grand Wurlitzer' himself; his son is on the board of both AIG and Kroll.

Hauer's other corporate affiliations included SAIC, Battelle, and DynCorp (now CSC-DynCorp). SAIC is a known CIA front as well, Battelle has multiple 'former' CIA agents on staff, spent several years as the largest overall government contactor working with HHS and DARPA to name a few and we all know of DynCorp's ties to CIA, human trafficking and other nefarious activities.

He also served on the board of Hollis-Eden, a company that benefited significantly from "Project Bioshield." Project BioShield, formally known as the Project BioShield Act, was enacted by the United States Congress in 2004 to provide $5 billion for purchasing vaccines that would be used in the event of a bioterrorist attack. This ten-year program aimed to acquire medical countermeasures to biological, chemical, radiological, and nuclear agents for civilian use. The Act was signed into law on July 21, 2004, by President George W. Bush, as part of a broader strategy to defend America against the threat of weapons of mass destruction. The program, administered by HHS’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), allocated $5.6 billion over ten years. More money laundering to big pharma.

Hauer participated in the June 2001 Dark Winter exercise, simulating a smallpox attack, and the 2003 TopOff 2 exercise, where he played FEMA’s head (Crossing the Rubicon, p. 423). These wargames, designed to test bioterrorism preparedness, involved intelligence and security agencies, fueling speculation about foreknowledge of 9/11 or anthrax attacks. 

Hauer was instrumental in shifting New York City’s emergency preparedness from the police department to a new agency. He oversaw the creation of a $13 million crisis command center on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center (WTC 7), unveiled in June 1999. This decision was controversial due to WTC’s prior targeting in the 1993 bombing and its proximity to the Twin Towers. A memo revealed by Fox News’ Chris Wallace indicated Hauer preferred a Brooklyn location, but Giuliani insisted on a site within walking distance of City Hall. On 9/11, the WTC 7 command center was evacuated and destroyed when the building collapsed at approximately 5:25 p.m. Hauer’s foresight in developing bioterrorism response plans and surveillance systems for unusual health events, implemented during his OEM tenure, proved critical in the city’s response to the attacks and subsequent anthrax crisis.
===On September 11, 2001===
Hauer was serving as a "senior advisor to the Secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, for national security and emergency management," and also as "Managing Director of Kroll, Inc." Having just left the NY's Office of Emergency Management.

He was a "very close friend" of John O'Neill, an FBI agent focused on counterterrorism who became the Director of Security for the World Trade Center in the summer of 2001; just prior to the 'attack' of 9/11. Hauer had drinks with O'Neill on the night of September 10, 2001. The night before the 'event'. O’Neill perished in the WTC collapse on 9/11, and their friendship has been scrutinized for potential intelligence connections, given O’Neill’s prior warnings about al-Qaeda threats. This is documented in Crossing the Rubicon (p. 423)


On the evening of 9/11, Hauer advised Vice President Dick Cheney and his staff to take the antibiotic Cipro as a precaution against anthrax, days before the anthrax letters were mailed. This decision, reported by The Washington Post, has fueled speculation about foreknowledge of the anthrax attacks.

On 9/11, Hauer appeared on national television, interviewed by Dan Rather, where he supported the emerging official narrative that the WTC towers collapsed due to fire from the plane crashes, dismissing the need for pre-positioned explosives. 

Post-9/11 Activities and Influence:

In June 2002, Kroll (a CIA front) purchased [[Convar Systeme Deutschland GmbH]], a German firm hired after September 11 to recover data from damaged computer hard drives found in the WTC wreckage. In his role as a bioterror agent/consultant/U.S. government official, Hauer had a "direct hand in making decisions about elevated threat levels from the Department of Homeland Security and the Centers for Disease Control."

He served on the board of Hollis-Eden, a "prime beneficiary of the multi-billion dollar Project Bioshield," a 2004 law that granted "huge vaccine and research contracts to the pharmaceutical industry." In 2003, in a wargame exercise (TopOff2) in Seattle and Chicago, Hauer played the role of the head of FEMA.

He became the "go-to guy for every epidemiological or biowarfare issue since September 11," including anthrax, smallpox, West Nile Virus, and SARS.
During his time as head of New York's OEM, Hauer had a confrontation with Steven Hatfill, the FBI's chief person-of-interest in the anthrax cases. Hatfill reportedly "disclosed too much information about methods of biological attack," and this confrontation was reported in The Washington Post. Hauer’s confrontation with Hatfill, combined with his BioShield ties, has been interpreted as evidence of involvement in anthrax-related cover-ups or profiteering. However, his actions align with his role as a bioterror advisor, and Hatfill was later cleared of anthrax suspicions.
