Editing American International Group (AIG) (section)

===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.
