The Pelosi Diversion on Torture covers up alot: HENEGHEN'S VERSION OF REALITY

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=147509065&blogId=490214438


FROM TOM HENEGHEN MYSPACE:





....P.P.P.S. Do not be fooled by the Nancy Pelosi diversion, folks. As much of a traitor and an incompetent that Pelosi is [threatened Congress with MARTIAL LAW in September of 2008 aka their support of the first BushFRAUD "bail out"], the corporate fascist, extortion-friendly media elite would rather discuss an irrelevant statement Pelosi made in regards to CIA credibility than the mounting criminal evidence aka BushFRAUD's TREASONOUS rendition flights and torture chambers, along with the escalating Israeli espionage scandal, which is engulfing Washington, D.C.


At this hour, we can also divulge that Pelosi is being blackmailed by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina in regards to the Clinton rendition flights aka the kidnapping of Ambassador Leo Wanta from Switzerland in 1993 when Wanta, along with former FBI Director William Sessions, General Vernon Walter, French President Francois Mitterrand, FBI informant Vince Foster and then Vice President, now year 2000 duly elected, natural born President Albert Gore Jr., tried to have Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate bagman, fugitive Marc Rich arrested, when Rich was in between Switzerland and France on his way to Monte Carlo.




The other illegal activity involving the kidnapping of Ambassador Leo Wanta in early 1997, is when Ambassador Wanta, on the orders of daddy Bush's little bitch, Bill Clinton, and his sociopath loser wife, lesbian in-the-closet Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton, along with former Republican Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson, ordered Wanta kidnapped from his temporary residence in Wisconsin to a holding facility aka gulag-type prison in Sayre, Oklahoma.


Former Clinton era Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr who, at the time of his appointment represented the Wisconsin division of the Children's Defense Fund, which was tied directly to Hillary Clinton.


Starr was also the attorny for Ambassador Wanta but abrutly resigned as Wanta's attorney when he was appointed Independent Counsel. Starr's conflict of interest was glaring. We can see now why he covered up Vince Foster's murder and resigned as Wanta's attorney since Ambassador Wanta could have been a witness in implicating Hillary Clinton in the murder of Foster.

Now you see, folks, why Wanta was kidnapped by the Clintons with the acquiescence of Kenneth Starr and put in the Sayre, Oklahoma gulag.

Not only were the Clintons misusing the Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocol funds, but they also wished to silence Ambassador Wanta considering Wanta's knowledge of massive criminal misconduct by then Clinton Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr involving Starr's cover up of the murder of Wanta's partner in the Marc Rich arrest attempt, former Clinton White House aide Vincent W. Foster.



Final note: Stay tuned for our future intelligence briefings, which will include an update on the theft of former Vice President, now year 2000 duly elected President Albert Gore Jr.'s daughter's personal files and social security number from the U.S. National Archives.

Do not believe any computer glitch spin, folks. The Clintons were notified of the missing files but not Gore; and it was the Bush Administration that was in power during this crime....."

The Cover-Up Of Vince Foster's Murder Gets Stranger and Stranger


By Greg Szymanski – Arctic Beacon April 12, 2006




The cover-up of Vince Foster's 1993 murder gets stranger and stranger, as the U.S. Attorney who blew the whistle on massive, high-level White House criminality has apparently undergone a sex change.

Lead investigator in the Foster case and U.S. Attorney Miguel Rodriguez, who went public in 1995 with allegations independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr and others purposely withheld evidence and intimidated witnesses to cover-up Foster's murder, is now working in Sacramento, Ca., apparently under the name of U.S. Attorney Michelle Rodriguez.

Although Rodriguez failed to return phone calls, a secretary in the U.S. Attorney's office Tuesday in Sacramento confirmed Michelle was once Miguel, although not coming right out and saying it.

Asked if the name Michelle was a mistake and the attorney in the office really was Miguel from Washington D.C., the secretary said:

"When was the last time you talked with Miguel?" asked the secretary, who then responded to the answer. "If it has been that long, she is now Michelle."

To further verify Michelle Rodriguez worked in the office, a Sept.29, 2005, Sacramento Bee news article referred to Rodriguez, saying:

"Jared Oreste Giampaoli and Steven Foster Little are accused of "interference with federally protected rights," according to documents filed by Assistant U.S Attorney Michelle Rodriguez."

Although Rodriguez's sex change could easily be dismissed as a man being trapped in a woman's body, bigger questions need to answered about Rodriguez's actions since he talked "a blue streak" in 1995, pointing the dirty finger of corruption in the Foster case all the way up to the doorstep of the white House.

But 13 years later why is Rodriguez remaining 'mum' about the case? How and why could he still be holding a job in the U.S. Attorney's Office after hitting the big boys below the belt so hard?

And the biggest question is what happened to the photograph Rodriguez took when he left Starr's office as the chief investigator, a photograph which allegedly shows a bullet hole in Foster's neck when the official report claimed he shot himself to death by sticking a gun in his mouth?

The photograph, which would clearly nail the top dogs in Washington with withholding evidence, has never been published and, according to the main researchers in the Foster case, it has somehow disappeared.

Although it is only speculation where the photograph ended up since Rodriguez isn't talking, the best explanation given is that he sold it for a hefty sum of money to an influential British newspaper.

In turn, investigators speculate the British newspaper, with MI6 and CIA ties, turned the evidence back over to the government without publishing it. Whether Rodriguez has a duplicate copy of the photo is unknown and it is also unknown whether Rodriguez has cut a deal with government officials to keep quiet in return for his life, a life he now leads as a woman.

Regarding the sex change, the final question needs to be asked whether it had anything remotely to do with the Foster case or whether it can be dismissed as a natural progression in Rodriguez's personal life.

One thing for sure, the importance of Rodriguez's testimony in getting at the truth behind the Foster murder should never be diminished or discredited, according to author Huh Turley, one of three writers who wrote a 511 page book/legal document categorically proving beyond a reasonable doubt Foster was murdered and it was cover-ed up.

The 1999 book, entitled Failure of the Public Trust, pins Starr and others with withholding evidence and intimidating witnesses to reach a premature conclusion in the case, a conclusion reached even before the evidence was gathered.

Turley and the authors meticulously gathered crime scene irregularities, including evidence tampering, witness intimidation and grand jury manipulation, using taped testimony by Rodriguez, the lead investigator, to prove the Starr report was corrupted from the outset.

Regarding the possibility of Rodriguez going public again, Turley recently said he isn't talking but doesn't know why.

"It is doubtful that he will talk again," said Turley in an email this week after appearing on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal, where he talked extensively about the government and media cover-up. "He is no longer talking to anyone. Attorney John H. Clarke, (co-author of the book) made a trip to Sacramento several years ago to see him, before we had the audio tapes, without success. I think he is afraid to talk.

"However, his comments, legally tape recorded by the late Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media, on our audio CD are the next best thing to interviewing him. For more background on Rodriguez see Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's book "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton" and also Christopher Ruddy's book, "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster." Ruddy's book is only good in calling attention to the suspicious death but Mr. Ruddy goes out of his way to conceal the role of the FBI and the media in the cover-up."

One other element of the Foster case which has never received proper attention is the involvement of three former Mossad agents, two men and a woman, seen and captured on video exiting the Foster apartment on July 20, 1993, the day he was killed.

The Starr investigation never followed up the leads and the first mention of it appeared in the Washington Post, when an article dismissed the possibility as wild and unsubstantiated rumors.

However, critics suggest The Post was engaged in a smear job to cover the tracks of the government sponsored hit team, as a concerted media investigation never took place.

"If they had looked into it," said an investigator from Italy who wanted to remain anonymous, "they might have uncovered the same hit team, two men and a blonde woman, former known Mossad expert killers and agents, who traveled to Italy three days after Foster was killed and were thought to be involved in the murder of Raul Gardini, a wealthy Italian businessman with ties to America."

Gardini, one of Italy's most wealthy businessmen, was found dead in his hotel room on July 23, 1993.The incident was quickly reported as a suicide even though some Italian investigators claim the gun supposedly used by Gardini was found on a table across the room from where the body was found.

As in the Foster case, Italian critics claim a proper investigation was never undertaken and a premature suicide result was reached in order to protect the real killers. Also, like in America, the leads tracing the movements of the three Mossad agents were never followed up, leaving on speculation that the same hit team killed Foster and Gardini.

According to insiders who knew Gardini, suicide was the last thing on his mind, as he was flamboyant and fun loving, displaying extravagant tastes, racing yachts worth millions of dollars in prestige events, and even making it to the America's Cup final in his first attempt before losing to America 3.

Like in the Foster case who died shortly after returning from Switzerland with $250 million dollars, Gardini's inside information and financial dealings may have been what finally led to his death.

As recently as a month before Gardini was died, he was conducting a spirited public defense of his tenure as head of Ferruzzi, saying its present indebtedness -- totaling a staggering $20 billion -- was not his fault.

According to leaked testimony by company insiders, however, Mr. Gardini falsified company balance sheets to hide losses totaling between $200 million and $300 million incurred in speculations on the Chicago futures market in 1989. He also accused Mr. Gardini of having used real estate deals to build up covert slush funds.

Coincidently, the $250 million given to Foster in Switzerland, verified by U.S. Treasury agent Leo Wanta, was never tracked down, as recent investigations have uncovered it was headed for the Childrens' Fund, a covert fund created by an executive order and chaired by Hillary Clinton, who supposedly used it as her own personal slush fund.

REPUBLICANS WARN HOLDER ON TORTURE



From NBC's Pete Williams


At a hearing today with Attorney General Eric Holder, Republican members of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee suggested that any potential criminal investigation into the CIA's harsh interrogation methods might not easily be contained.


Both Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Richard Shelby of Alabama pressed Holder on the CIA's "rendition" program that moved terrorism suspects from one country to another.



Didn't that happen during the Clinton administration?
Yes, Holder said.

"How many did you approve?" they asked.
Holder said he'd check the record.

The clear suggestion was, if any criminal investigation is opened, Republicans would push to get it expanded beyond events during the Bush administration. Alexander, for example, asked several times whether members of Congress, who were told about the interrogation methods, should also be investigated.

As for a potential investigation of the lawyers who wrote the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel opinions approving harsh interrogation methods, Holder said -- as he has several times now -- that he remains skeptical.

"We're not trying to do anything that would be perceived as partisan,” he said. “We want to move forward to the extent we can."

Today's hearing also provided another avenue for members of Congress to tell the Obama administration they're very worried about bringing Guantanamo Bay detainees into the U.S., where they might be released. Holder said no one who was dangerous or a threat to the community would be released anywhere in the world.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this post incorrectly identified the committee Holder testified before as Judiciary. This version corrects that, pointing out that it was an Appropriations subcommittee.]

Fitzgerald probe: Sen. Clinton withdrew stolen funds from Grenada bank

Fitzgerald probe: Sen. Clinton withdrew stolen funds from Grenada bank

Prosecutor in possession of documents, numbered bank accounts, trusts—and alleged film evidence of Senator Hillary Clinton withdrawing stolen U.S. Treasury funds from bank in Grenada as Fitzgerald probe expands to $742 billion theft

by Tom Flocco


Washington—April 13, 2006—TomFlocco.com—




Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is in possession of filmed evidence allegedly showing Senator Hillary Clinton entering Bank Crozier in the British territory of Grenada during early 2003 for the purpose of withdrawing stolen and laundered U.S. Treasury funds for alleged personal use after presenting the bank with CIA code numbers in her capacity as a U.S. senator, CIA operative and wife of a former president, according to a team of intelligence sources.

One source requesting anonymity told us that “competing teams” of fired intelligence agents and military, federal whistleblowers and patriotic government operatives committed to restoring the U.S. Constitution established private teams “to follow and track Senator Clinton for years” in an effort to validate the intelligence operative’s crimes with the kind of evidence presented to Mr. Fitzgerald.

“Bank account numbers, entities and trust documents also linked to former Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton have been delivered to Fitzgerald by agents who originally leaked the evidence for the purpose of exposing the largest embezzlement of taxpayer funds in the history of the United States,” according to informed sources close to the investigation who spoke with TomFlocco.com.



Mrs. Clinton’s trip to Grenada may have been linked to personal and private control over an old Reagan CIA [executive order 12333] proprietary trust account called the Children’s Defense Fund—a Title 18 Section 6 USG corporation set up for intelligence operations—not for use in upcoming election campaigns.

Certain Washington Riggs Bank ties to its world banking system correspondent Bank Crozier in Grenada indicate that the stolen, laundered and back-dated U.S. treasury notes may allegedly be linked to funding the September 11 attacks in violation of U.S. racketeering laws [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act—RICO statutes], the intelligence sources said.

This, providing additional evidence circuitously linked to the Valerie Plame leak case, since intelligence sources say Plame was also looking into the 9-11 money trail—but also an attempt to plant weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to buttress the case for war, thus requiring Fitzgerald to probe the money-trail connections and strong incentives for the Bush administration to “out” Mrs. Plame-Wilson for her intelligence operations.

TomFlocco.com has previously detailed and published the contents of a hand-written memo to Vice President Richard Cheney proving the White House knew that boxes containing large amounts of U.S. currency were moved from the Philippines seven weeks after the 9 11 attacks—with phrases in the document revealing that “the ‘family’ wants their boxes!!...Things are getting out of hand! MIL [Marvelous Investments, Ltd., Andover, MA according to intelligence sources] needs cash with which to purchase & remove these items [boxes of currency]…too much is in the wrong hands!”

House and Senate members are quite aware of these authentic documents, but are likely powerless to investigate their explosive implications—perhaps due to “control files” and other financial, sexual and criminal activities preventing due process of law, given past bribery and blackmail linked to judges.




The Swedish-owned Bank Crozier was under a court order to be liquidated by Garvey Louison of Louison Consulting which took place on July 24, 2003, so it would seem that Senator Clinton would have had to withdraw the funds prior to the liquidation.
[ The preceding pdf file webpage at bankcroziergd.com was removed after this story was posted; however, we saved the file and it is now available here TF ]

This, amid what became a great deal of internet chatter about Crozier fraud and money laundering by investors who were unaware that U.S. intelligence already knew that a sitting United States senator had already allegedly looted the bank prior to its liquidation.

Former Presidents Bush and Clinton have also reportedly been using Children’s Defense Fund bank accounts to expand, control and leverage secret national security—CIA front proprietary accounts for their personal use in direct violation of Title 18, Section 6, the Corporate Proprietary Banking Statutes—accounts intended to be used for U.S. intelligence operations only, according to informed sources who are aware that U.S. legislators are also implicated.

18 U.S.C. 4 mandates congressional probe

The numbered accounts presented to Fitzgerald will be sent to all members of the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees under 18 United States Code 4, the misprision of felony statute: “Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

18 U.S.C. 4 would therefore designate congressional members and prosecutors receiving meritorious evidence of a crime as legally responsible for investigating and preventing the concealment of that crime—what may be the greatest financial scandal in world history.

The documents linked above have been collated from the original handwritten notes with named trust identifications—and numbered bank accounts in most cases, copies of which are held by TomFlocco.com and scores of other individuals throughout the United States and foreign countries—inside and outside the intelligence community.

The originals and collated notes in Fitzgerald’s possession were published in a more easily readable format in International Currency Review, Volume 30, Numbers 2 and 3, February 2005 and in previous issues of the Review.




Riggs-Crozier tied to illegal use of U.S. Special Forces in coup attempt?

Jonathan James Bush

According to the federal agents, the same Crozier account from which Senator Clinton was video-taped withdrawing stolen U.S. Treasury funds was also used by the son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to help fund a failed coup d’ etat to unseat the president of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.

U.S. intelligence agents familiar with Senator Clinton’s past CIA operative affiliations and her control over the Bank Crozier account said some U.S. Special Forces members were involved in the coup attempt and were illegally under the foreign command and control of Mark Thatcher—with Mrs. Thatcher operating behind the scenes, according to sources familiar with the probe.

Questions can be raised whether U.S. legislators are covering up misappropriated taxpayer funds for the misuse of American troops to acquire control of more oil in the coup attempt, and whether House and Senate Armed Services and Banking Committee members may also have knowledge of Bush-Clinton use of Washington’s Riggs Bank which was the prosecuted correspondent entity fined for multiple suspicious transactions involving Bank Crozier in Grenada.

Jonathan Bush—George W. Bush’s uncle and brother of Bush 41, ran Riggs Bank National Corporation subsidiary J. Bush & Co. money management; and Riggs was alleged to have laundered funds from the account of Saudi Prince Bandar’s wife that reached two alleged September 11 “hijackers,” providing more evidence along the 9-11 money trail.



Sir Mark Thatcher



Bank Crozier’s ties to Riggs and the coup attempt are allegedly implicated in the bank’s guilty plea on January 27, 2005 for repeatedly failing to report suspicious transactions in bank accounts held by Equatorial Guinea leaders and agreeing to pay a $16 million penalty.

Mrs. Thatcher’s 51 year old son Sir Mark Thatcher was arrested in July, 2004 and pleaded guilty to helping finance “mercenaries” suspected of the plot in order to avoid a prison sentence; but Sir Mark was refused a visa to enter the U.S. due to his conviction in South Africa, according to American news reports.




Sir Mark Thatcher, E-Systems—Dallas, and the Bush family


Former Pentagon intelligence officer Bill McCoy who died mysteriously after implicating German intelligence officer Andreas Carl Strassmeier in the Oklahoma city bombing provided proof before his death that Sir Mark Thatcher was on the payroll of E-Systems in Dallas, Texas with George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Neil Bush and others.

Indicted Fox News host Colonel Oliver North, who was pardoned by George H. W. Bush which resulted in obstruction of justice, referred to E-Systems as “the company” in his testimony before Congress; but Bill McCoy called E-Systems the illegal shadow government within the government—a covert and ongoing system of black operations, drugs and weapons money-laundering via off-shore banks.

McCoy possessed the documents to validate Bush shadow government connections to Mark Thatcher and E-Systems, and allowed federal whistleblower Stewart Webb to bring a copy machine into McCoy’s Fairfax, Virginia home to duplicate thousands of top secret documents and affidavits of living, deceased and assassinated U.S. intelligence, military and government whistleblowers, some evidence of which has already been provided to prosecutors.

Serious questions can be raised as to whether the Clinton-Crozier account was employed to facilitate the illegal use of American soldiers in an oil country coup attempt funded by stolen and laundered U.S. taxpayer dollars—and whether Congress is obstructing justice and covering up the operation.

Riggs Bank quickly paid the fine, but the House and Senate banking committees have failed in their oversight to probe the above links to 9-11, Valerie Plame, Riggs and Crozier Banks while federalizing what amounts to the counterfeiting of U.S. currency by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and declining to report the M 3 data on currency in circulation [as of March 23, 2006] which serves to covertly prop up the U.S. economy with Federal Reserve Cartel printing presses.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/16/holder.confirmation/index.html


updated 12:38 p.m. EST, Fri January 16, 2009



WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former FBI Director Louis Freeh said Friday that Attorney General-designate Eric Holder allowed himself "to be used" by the Clinton White House in the pardon process for then-fugitive financier Marc Rich in January 2001.




But Freeh told senators at Holder's confirmation that Holder was nevertheless a man of "tremendous integrity" who "will never allow himself again to be put in that position."

"The pardon of Marc Rich was a corrupt act," Freeh said, but was not Holder's responsibility. Freeh asserted that President Bill Clinton's White House staff kept the FBI and Justice Department "in the dark" and "actively conspired" to ensure that nobody knew what pardons were being considered shortly before Clinton left office.

"The [Clinton] White House went to extraordinary lengths to deceive the attorney general, myself, the Department of Justice and everyone about who was on the secret pardon list. ... I don't think it's fair to put that blame totally on Eric Holder," Freeh said. "He takes responsibility, and he will never make that mistake again."

Holder, Freeh said, had a proven track record of "political independence" and an ability "to say no" to the White House when necessary.

Freeh was the opening witness on the second day of Holder's confirmation hearing.

Holder, who was deputy attorney general during Clinton's second term, acknowledged at the outset of his confirmation hearing that many of his past "decisions were not always perfect" and that he "made mistakes," but, if confirmed, he said, he would "faithfully execute" his duties in a "fair, just and independent manner."


He was particularly quick to admit that he made mistakes during the Rich pardon incident at the end of the Clinton administration that were "not typical" of his conduct over most of his career.

Holder said he "made assumptions that turned out not to be true" during Rich's pardon process, which turned out to be the "most intense" and "searing" experience he "ever had as a lawyer." He said that as a result of the experience, he would "be a better attorney general."

One of the lessons of the Rich case, Holder stated, is the need for "full consultation with all lawyers in the pardon process." He said there is a need to improve the pardon process, which seems to experience a "deterioration ... at the end of every administration."

Holder was also harshly criticized Friday for "playing Russian roulette" with the safety of Americans for making an "egregious recommendation" in 1999 of clemency for 16 members of a Puerto Rican nationalist group convicted of conspiracy and bomb-making charges.

Joseph Connor, the son of a victim of a 1975 New York City restaurant bombing by the FALN -- or Armed Forces of National Liberation -- testified that the former federal judge and prosecutor was "soft on terror" and, as a result, should be "disqualified" for the position of attorney general.

"These terrorists took away my dad's life," Connor said. "Did he actually believe in their cause? Did he not know what they did?"

Holder stated during his confirmation hearing Thursday that Clinton's decision to grant clemency to the 16 FALN members "was reasonable."

Holder also noted that there were "a lot of people in support of that clemency request," including former President Jimmy Carter and Coretta Scott King, the widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The FALN is responsible for multiple attacks on U.S. military installations.

When Holder appeared before senators Thursday, he drew a clear distinction with President Bush's Justice Department by stating unambiguously that the controversial interrogation technique of waterboarding "is torture" and a violation of the Geneva Conventions. Watch Holder call waterboarding torture »

Holder, who will be the nation's first African-American attorney general if confirmed, pledged to support interrogation techniques that are "effective," but don't "serve as recruiting tools for the enemy" or violate America's treaty obligations.

Any techniques used by the government, Holder said, need to be "consistent with who we are as Americans."

Justice Department officials have admitted that waterboarding -- one of the greatest points of dispute between the Bush administration and both congressional Democrats and civil liberties watchdog groups -- was used in the past, but is no longer practiced, officials have said.


The debate over waterboarding was one of a series of issues covered in Holder's confirmation hearing that have sharply and often bitterly divided Democrats and Republicans over the past eight years.

Other issues raised during the hearing included the decision to hold prisoners at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; the implementation of the Patriot Act; and the broader need to strike an appropriate balance between protecting civil liberties and effectively prosecuting the war on terror.




Former FBI director: Holder was 'used' in Rich pardon
