His last job in the State Department
is he's in Peru, he's the USAID director in Peru.
Now at the time, there was a friendly sort of leader, the president of Peru at the time was friendly to US interests.
US cared about Peru a lot at the time because they had a very important company that had access to the oil fields in Peru.
And this was a super hot button issue in Peru.
The Peruvian people were very unhappy with this because they felt like they were getting screwed with this deal with this U.S.
company that had this.
The company is called IPC.
It is the International Petroleum Company.
OK, so one of the main jobs for William Denser was making sure that people in Peru didn't go crazy and get rid of this president who was helping the United States and have this sweet oil arrangement that's going on there.
The year that William Denser leaves, and I don't know exactly when he left, but I know it was the same year.
The year he left, there is a coup in Peru.
The military overthrows the existing government, the pro-American government.
William Denser leaves sometime around this same exact period.
And the big reason why was a controversy over this oil company.
Now the International Petroleum Company was a subsidiary of another oil company called Standard Oil.
Standard Oil were the Rockefellers.
Okay, so he leaves this and very shortly after he leaves the State Department, all he's ever known is CIA operations, student activism, State Department, all that kind of stuff.
He leaves and he ends up in New York and suddenly he's doing all of these things in finance that he had no experience doing and no qualifications for.
Well, remember Rockefeller Oil Company in Peru.
