...Since 9/11, the number of such outfits across the country has tripled. With more than 2,000 FBI agents now assigned to 102 task forces, the JTTFs have effectively become a vast, quasi-secret arm of the federal government, granted sweeping new powers that outstrip those of any other law-enforcement agency. The JTTFs consist not only of local police, FBI special agents and federal investigators from Immigration and the IRS, but covert operatives from the CIA. The task forces have thus effectively destroyed the "wall" that historically existed between law enforcement and intelligence-gathering. Under the Bush administration, the JTTFs have been turned into a domestic spy agency, like Britain's MI5 —one with the powers of arrest.
The expenditure of such massive resources to find would-be terrorists inevitably requires results.
Plots must be uncovered.
Sleeper cells must be infiltrated.
Another attack must be prevented —or, at least, be seen to be prevented.
But in backwaters like Rockford, the JTTFs don't have much to do. To find threats to thwart, the task forces have increasingly taken to using paid informants to cajole and inveigle targets like Shareef into pursuing their harebrained schemes. In the affidavit sworn by an FBI special agent in support of Shareef's indictment, the co-conspirator who called himself Jameel is known only as "CS" (Cooperating Source).
In fact, CS was William Chrisman, a former crack dealer with a conviction for attempted robbery who was paid $8,500 by the JTTF and dispatched specifically to set up Shareef. Like other informants in terrorism cases, Chrisman had been "tasked" by federal agents to indulge and escalate Shareef's fantasies — while carefully ensuring that Shareef incriminated himself.
"The hope is that they will nab an actual terrorist or prevent a putative jihadi from becoming one," says David Cole, a law professor at Georgetown University and co-author of Less Safe, Less Free, a new book detailing the ways 9/11 has transformed domestic law enforcement. "It makes sense in general —but when you're pressing people to undertake conduct they would have never undertaken without an informant pushing them along, there is a real question if you're creating crime, not preventing crime."

If the pussies at DEMOCRATIC DUMBFUCK LAND aka US SEN JUD COMM and HOUSE JUD COMM would let THOMAS S. BEAN testify about "his ordeal at the hands of the FBI MIND CONTROLLERS RUNNING OPERATION SLAMMER"...you will see how MUELLER has protected and embraced the SHOCK DOCTRINE: CREATE THE PROBLEM, THEN CREATE THE SOLUTION (and benefit financially, and politically).
I can tell you how ASSAULTS, BREAKINS, STALKING, INTERSTATE STALKING, PIN HOLE SPY CAMERAS IN HOME, TORTS, SLANDER AT JOBSITES, MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS BASED ON ILLEGALLY OBTAINED INFO, AND SUBLIMINAL PROGRAMMING is all used to....MANUFACTURE A THREAT (usually based on an illegally obtained pretext from SIGINT when NSA SCOOPS UP ALL COMMUNICATIONS without a warrant, as they look for a TERRORIST who CAN NEVER OBTAIN DUE PROCESS RIGHTS SINCE THE WHOLE THING IS A SECRET COVERT STAR CHAMBER.
This madness is detailed in my 47 page US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT that nearly got me killed, and did get me "chipped, tortured, programmed as a manchurian candidate and fried with a RAYETHEON DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON".
MICROWAVE RADIATION is used to induce pain, torture, humiliation, shock, lack of sleep, and is used to STOP COMPLAINANTS AND WITNESSES FROM TESTIFYING OR SEEKING FED COURT PROTECTION IN MOTIONS FOR INJUCTIVE RELIEF HEARINGS.
No Democrat...has bothered to review this complaint, and the subsequent crimes committed by the FBI--JTTF--HOMELAND SECURITY--FUSION CENTERS.
MUELLER'S PLAN IS...harass, provoke, stalk, assault, stalk, break in, steal, slander, maliciously prosecute with illegally obtained info...etc...UNTIL THE TARGET GOES BALLISTIC. THEN...THE SMUG DRUG DEALING, MURDERING, ILLUMINATI PUNK BOB MUELLER misleads the US ATTORNEY by "lying by omission" as part of ongoing charade in which CONSPIRACIES TO TAMPER WTIH WITNESSES, AND OBSTRUCT JUSTICE is a goal.
FBI TORTURED DR MARK GORDON WITH A DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON while monitoring their reluctant, coerced, cooperating source of info in his home with a pin hole spy camera?
FBI DID THE SAME TO ME.
ROBERT DALE LILLY was never arrested or indicted.
No word from SENATOR LEAHY when he wants to actually do oversight with MICHELLE TAPKEN AND THOMAS HEFFLEFINGER testifying about "how the FBI--CIA--DOD CIFA UNIT" runs the war on terror...and HOW FBI OBSTRUCTED THE SOUTH DAKOTA MURDERS while Mueller followed his pussified protocol in which Mueller "unilaterally ruled out any arrests for PATRIOT ACT MURDERS" of my known associates.
HOLDER and OBAMA have shown no interest in polygraphing me, or providing protection for a cooperating witness who tried to stop the FBI FROM BLOWING UP THE CHILDREN AT THE MURRAY BUILDING IN OK CITY?????????????????????????
__________________________________________________
In Rockford, "Jameel" repeatedly urged Shareef to dream up gory details of the havoc they would cause at the mall. Chrisman had received a call, he told Shareef, from a man he called "Cap" —a contact willing to sell them weapons. They could buy "pineapples" —code for hand grenades —from Cap for fifty bucks each. Cap, of course, was an undercover agent. Eleven "pineapples" were available, Chrisman said. Walking around the mall —the Dippin' Dots, the Panda Express —Shareef suggested they toss the "pineapples" in garbage cans to create shrapnel. They would fast for three days beforehand. They would shave their bodies. They would meditate and pray.
"Don't forget, man, we should get the grenades sometime next week," Chrisman said. "So you should try to get as much flous [money] as you can get."
"I got a little change in the bank," Shareef said.
"All you need is, like, $100. That's two grenades."
But the resourceless Shareef couldn't even raise that much money. So with the JTTF determined to push the "plot" forward, Chrisman announced that Cap had agreed to exchange the grenades for some used stereo speakers Shareef owned. On the following Saturday, as snow blanketed Rockford, Chrisman and Shareef engaged in the ritual of suicide bombers, recording video statements of each other reciting their last wills and testaments. The JTTF's affidavit doesn't reveal whose idea it was to stare into the camera and swear vengeance against America, but the prejudicial impact it would have on a jury was huge.
"My name is Talib Abu Salam Ibn Shareef," Shareef said, using his self-created nom de guerre. "I am from America, and this tape is to let you guys know, who disbelieve in Allah, to let the enemies of Islam know, and to let the Muslims alike know that the time for jihad is now."
The next Wednesday, the two men met with Cap in a parking lot under the gaze of agents from the JTTF. As Shareef swapped the used speakers for four nonfunctioning grenades and a 9mm handgun with neutered ammunition, he was swarmed by law enforcement. News of the bust traveled the world over. "It had all the makings of a holiday bloodbath," Fox News breathlessly reported. Shareef was charged with the ultimate crime in the so-called War on Terror: attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The arrest of Shareef was yet another JTTF success, with the homeland again saved from a savage attack, this time from a man the government branded a "lone wolf."
Or it was an illusion, a fictional plot developed in a self-fulfilling and self-serving cycle of chasing ghosts.

FBI HAS PULLED THIS CRAP ON ME, OVER AND OVER...using a GPS TRACKING DEVICE IN MY VEHICLE after they got my father to "mislead me into signing over title to my own vehicle" so FBI COULD BACKDATE THE TITLE TRANSFER to make it all look good.
FBI got my father to tell me, "...I could not get insurance on my vehicle" unless I signed over title to my own vehicle. Then...FBI GOT A WAIVER FROM MY FATHER who had been threatened with bogus charges and false arrest.
My dad is a 73 psychiatrist with MS.
The FBI also...stole a box from my father's home that they filled with detenators that were planted in TERRY NICHOLS' KANSAS HOME. All done to frame me.
That's how weak and cowardly our win at all costs punk Bob Mueller is.
Bob did this to steal the 150, 000, 0000$ that he swindled from THE US SEN APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE. The money was ear marked to pay me damages.
Mueller realized that "the longer he kept the money" the longer he and his pals could steal the interest and play the stock market. Then Mueller realized, WHY PAY ANYTHING, and will just keep the money for ouselves.
FBI HQ needs to be audited and OBAMA needs to get Bob on the polygraph.
If Mueller refuses to be polygraphed...then he should be fired...no?
________________________________________
For law enforcement, fear and the politics of fear have entwined to create a radical new paradigm. Even the term "law enforcement" has been rendered quaint by the Bush administration. These days, the term of art is "lawfare" —the confluence of police work and military tactics. With Joint Terrorism Task Forces set up across the country to coordinate the work of federal agencies and local cops, the FBI now devotes nearly two-thirds of its resources —some $4 billion —to waging war on terrorism. The approach today is not the traditional police work of investigating actual crimes but the far more slippery goal of preventing terrorist attacks before they occur.
To hear the Bush administration tell it, the JTTFs have been an unqualified success. The task forces have been credited with uncovering and busting up homegrown terrorist cells in Oregon, Seattle, Detroit, Miami, Buffalo and New Jersey. All told, the Feds have accused 619 people of "terrorist activity" since 9/11 —a record that the FBI insists has made America safer. In 2005 alone, more than 10 million terror inquiries were checked against the JTTF's Investigative Data Warehouse, a central repository for "terrorism-related documents." Such numbers create the sense that America is indeed under siege —and that the government is on top of the threat. "These extremists are self-recruited, self-trained and self-executing," FBI Director Robert Mueller declared in 2006. "These homegrown terrorists may prove to be as dangerous as groups like Al Qaeda, if not more so."

PEDERAST PROTECTOR AND MURDERER (Wellstone murder) Bob Mueller...forgets to point out that THE WAR COMMISSIONS ACT actually legalizes the OPERATION SLAMMER ENTRAPMENT, COERCION, STALKING, ASSAULTS, MIND CONTROL...ETC...TO CREATE WHAT THE PUNK FBI CLOWNS NEED: TERRORISTS WILLING TO GO NUTS.
___________________________
But a closer inspection of the cases brought by JTTFs reveals that most of the prosecutions had one thing in common: The defendants posed little if any demonstrable threat to anyone or anything. According to a study by the Center on Law and Security at the New York University School of Law, only ten percent of the 619 "terrorist" cases brought by the federal government have resulted in convictions on "terrorism-related" charges —a category so broad as to be meaningless.
In the past year, none of the convictions involved jihadist terror plots targeting America. "The government releases selective figures," says Karen Greenberg, director of the center. "They have never even defined 'terrorism.' They keep us in the dark over statistics."

The word "terrorist" is not operationally defined because...if it is kept void for vagueness...that gives FED SCUM TOTAL GOD LIKE AUTHORITY TO DESTROYE ANY INNOCENT MEDICAL DOCTOR (Dr Mark Gordon)...SD US SEN TOM DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF (Richard Gordon, believed to be securing documents showing cause that FBI AGENT TERRY NELSON ran a RICO FELONY DRUG DISTRIBUTION RING IN MONTANA WITH MONEY LAUNDERED INTO GOP SENATORS CAMPAIGNS BY RACICOT)....COMPLAINANTS (Thomas S.

OMAHA ATTY LEROY ROGERS was tortured and brain stroked with DOD CIFA UNIT AND CIA using directed energy weapons to "maim, torture, murder, and incapacitate" anybody thought to be "filing a lawsuit" or who "might retain documents showing the FBI'S HISTORY OF COMMITTING FELONIES with impunity".
THE FBI actually threatened my father to give up info on "...what lawyers I knew and trusted." THUS, FBI TARGETED LEROY ROGERS FOR DEATH, like Rich Gordon.
Other lawyers were hospitalized, murdered and silenced.
THAT' S WHY OBAMA AND HOLDER need to ask BIG, BAD, DRUG DEALER AND WELLSTONE MURDERER BOB MUELLER...IF he wants to keep his job by passing a polygraph exam?
_________________________________
Indeed, Shareef is only one of many cases where the JTTFs have employed dubious means to reach even more dubious ends. In Buffalo, the FBI spent eighteen months tracking the "Lackawanna Six" —a half-dozen men from the city's large Muslim population who had been recruited by an Al Qaeda operative in early 2001 to undergo training in Afghanistan. Only two lasted the six-week course; the rest pretended to be hurt or left early. Despite extensive surveillance, the FBI found no evidence that the men ever discussed, let alone planned, an attack —but that didn't stop federal agents from arresting the suspects with great fanfare and accusing them of operating an "Al Qaeda-trained terrorist cell on American soil." Fearing they would be designated as "enemy combatants" and disappeared into the legal void created by the Patriot Act, all six pleaded guilty to aiding Al Qaeda and were sentenced to at least seven years in prison.
In other cases, the use of informants has led the government to flirt with outright entrapment. In Brooklyn, a Guyanese immigrant and former cargo handler named Russell Defreitas was arrested last spring for plotting to blow up fuel tanks at JFK International Airport. In fact, before he encountered the might of the JTTF, Defreitas was a vagrant who sold incense on the streets of Queens and spent his spare time checking pay phones for quarters. He had no hope of instigating a terrorist plot of the magnitude of the alleged attack on JFK —until he received the help of a federal informant known only as "Source," a convicted drug dealer who was cooperating with federal agents to get his sentence reduced. Backed by the JTTF, Defreitas suddenly obtained the means to travel to the Caribbean, conduct Google Earth searches of JFK's grounds and build a complex, multifaceted, international terror conspiracy —albeit one that was impossible to actually pull off. After Defreitas was arrested, U.S. Attorney Roslynn Mauskopf called it "one of the most chilling plots imaginable."
Using informants to gin up terrorist conspiracies is a radical departure from the way the FBI has traditionally used cooperating sources against organized crime or drug dealers, where a pattern of crime is well established before the investigation begins. Now, in new-age terror cases, the JTTFs simply want to establish that suspects are predisposed to be terrorists —even if they are completely unable or ill-equipped to act on that predisposition. High-tech video and audio evidence, coupled with anti-terror hysteria, has made it effectively impossible for suspects to use the legal defense of entrapment. The result in many cases has been guilty pleas —and no scrutiny of government conduct.

THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO GETTING DUE PROCESS is the FBI's ongoing pattern of BREAKING THE LAW: PERJURY, SUBORNING PERJURY, INTERSTATE STALKING, POINTING GUNS AT MY HEAD, USING GOONS AND THUGS TO ASSAULT AND PROVOKE...SPITTING IN DR GORDON'S FACE AT AN OK CITY GAS STATION...BREAKINS BY civilians?...PIN HOLE SPY CAMERAS IN HOME...Vehicle sabotage....SLANDER, DEFAMATION, JOBSITE NEUTRALIZATIONS....etc.
And...FBI WILL NOT HESITATE TO ACTUALLY "SEND BANK LETTER TERRORIST THREATS" in Amarillo, Texas...when they knew...BEAN NEVER MADE IT TO AMARILLO?
FBI ALSO PLANTED A BOX STOLEN FROM MY FATHERS HOME...IN TERRY NICHOLS KANSAS HOME. THE SOURCE WAS Greg Scarpa Jr, a notorious hitman and sociopath who has spent the last 25 years trying to "jump on the bus" and get a sentence reduction from his SUPERMAX PRISON SENTENCE?????????????????
NO INTEREST from the punks (LEAHY, HIS STAFF, CONYERS, HOLDER, MSMEDIA ).
______________________________
In most cases, because no trial is ever held, few details emerge beyond the spare and slanted descriptions in the indictments. When facts do come to light during a trial, they cast doubt on the seriousness of the underlying case. The "Albany Pizza" case provides a stark example. Known as a "sting case," the investigation began in June 2003 when U.S. soldiers raided an "enemy camp" in Iraq and seized a notebook containing the name of an imam in Albany — one Yassin Aref. To snare Aref, the JTTF dispatched a Pakistani immigrant named Shahed "Malik" Hussain, who was facing years in prison for a driver's-license scam.
Instead of approaching Aref directly, federal agents sent Malik to befriend Mohammed Hossain, a Bangladeshi immigrant who went to the same mosque as Aref. Hossain, an American citizen who ran a place called Little Italy Pizzeria in Albany, had no connections whatsoever to terrorism or any form of radical Islam. After the attacks on 9/11, he had been quoted in the local paper saying, "I am proud to be an American." But enticed by Malik, Hossain soon found himself caught up in a government-concocted terror plot. Posing as an arms dealer, Malik told Hossain that a surface-to-air missile was needed for an attack on a Pakistani diplomat in New York. He offered Hossain $5,000 in cash to help him launder $50,000 —a deal Hossain claims he never properly grasped. According to Muslim tradition, a witness is needed for significant financial transactions. Thus, the JTTF reached out for Hossain's imam and the true target of the sting —Aref.
At trial, the judge brushed aside questions about why the government was after Aref in the first place. "The FBI had certain suspicions, good and valid suspicions, for looking into Mr. Aref," he told the jury. "But why they did that is not to be any concern of yours." For their role in a conspiracy confected entirely by the FBI, both Aref and Hossain were convicted of attempting to provide material support to terrorists and sentenced to fifteen years in federal prison.
"I am just a pizza man," the bewildered Hossain said at his sentencing. "I make good pizza."
Despite the rapid and widespread proliferation of JTTFs, very little has been reported about what goes on inside the War on Terror's domestic front.

No.
Very little is reported in MSMEDIA because they are bought by the radical right wing.
Very little because DEMOCRATS ARE PUSSIES AND KNOW THEY CAN END UP LIKE US SEN TIM JOHNSON, KENNEDY, WELLSTONE....OR RICH GORDON.

The FBI building that houses the JTTF for the Northern District of Illinois has been moved from the middle of the city to a more spacious, fortresslike building on the industrial west side of Chicago, a place out of the city's Loop, literally and figuratively. The glass tower is surrounded by a tall metal fence, and layers upon layers of security inside and out add to the sense of siege. When Special Agent Robert Holley, who supervises the JTTF's Squad Counterterrorism 1, offers to escort me to his office on the eighth floor, we are stopped by his superior before we even reach the hallway. The entire floor, the supervisor declares, is considered secure — there are classified documents on desks —and therefore off-limits to outsiders.
Holley, an ex-military type who is built like a bullet, rolls his eyes but complies. There is no problem finding another room for a meeting. There are acres of empty offices and cubicles in the eerily futuristic building, the premises far larger than current requirements dictate but ready for expansion should the need arise with another terrorist attack.
Counterterrorism squads like the one overseen by Holley are assigned to monitor distant "Areas of Responsibility" —the Horn of Africa, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq. The six CT squads in Chicago are also divided into two categories: Five "substantive" groups like Holley's, which gather intelligence and conduct long-term investigations of specific individuals, and another squad that is charged with chasing down leads and determining the "threat profile" of suspects to decide if an investigation is merited. Holley's squad currently has some seventy-five open investigations — he won't give the precise number —in nearly every country under his purview. "A lot of our successes you don't see," he says. "We don't measure our success by the number of prosecutions."

some of those successes include COLLUDING WITH DOD CIFA UNIT AND CIA to murder a YANKTON PD SGT MARK DEFENBAUGH ten days before YANKTON, SD, LAWYER JOHN KABIESEMAN WAS MURDERED.

PLUTA and MUELLER ALSO KNOW ABOUT FBI'S OVERT ACT AS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT THE WELLSTONE MURDER.
FBI HAD PRIOR KNOWLEDGE.
FBI STOLE THE AIRPORT LOGS IN DULUTH, MN , where Pluta landed.
FBI KNOWS ABOUT THE MURDER OF DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON, and the attempted murder of DR MARK GORDON.

HE BECAME A TERRORIST AND GOT FRAMED USING MIND CONTROL TO INDUCE HIM INTO COMMITTING A SECRET ACT OF DEVIANCE CAUGHT ON TAPE.
SAME M.O. used on ELIOT SPITZER.
MUELLER KNOWS THAT.
HOLDER did not ask Bob for a polygraph...doncha know?
_________________________________
When I ask what kinds of cases his CT squad has made, Holley cites the example of a local cab driver who came up on the JTTF's radar some time back —he won't say how or why. The man was East African, Holley says, a suspected Islamic extremist "connected to known bad guys overseas." After being interviewed by the JTTF, the cabbie decided to leave the country. Nothing criminal had occurred, and no charges were laid. The cab driver had simply come to the attention of the JTTF, and that in itself was enough to dispose of the matter.
"Can we consider that a success because we didn't put him in jail?" Holley asks. "Absolutely. This guy is no longer here. He is not a threat to one person in the United States."
"Was he ever a threat?" I ask.
"We opened up an investigation."
"But isn't that a circular argument?"
"Was he a bomb-thrower?" Holley concedes. "Probably not. Did he want to go into a mall and attack? No."
The next morning, I meet with three members of the Field Intelligence Group. The FIGs are designed to create a centralized approach to intelligence, both domestic and foreign. In northern Illinois, the group analyzes information from around the world, as well as that supplied courtesy of Operation Virtual Shield, the surveillance initiative designed to make Chicago one of the most-watched cities in the world. Thousands of cameras deployed on street corners, train platforms and buses now provide a nearly comprehensive visual record of all public movement in Chicago.
The unexceptional-seeming trio from the FIG dodge most of my questions on the grounds of national security. Mike Delejewski, a soft-spoken intelligence analyst, says that every call that comes into the JTTF is passed along to the FIG, which runs down every lead, no matter how improbable. Delejewski mentions a call received regarding the Sears Tower and three suspicious-looking men seen in the vicinity. That was all the report said. The FIG and CT squads responded. The men turned out to be Mexican tourists.....
...."The enemy is listening," Assistant Special Agent in Charge Gregory Fowler adds later. "I drill that into my people's heads every day. Foreign-intelligence agencies and terrorists are listening. The FBI is on a war footing."

________________________
When I express skepticism at the nature of the cases being brought by the JTTF, and the wild-goose chases that seem to occupy its time, Fowler says people don't understand the "threat stream" facing the nation. There are two reasons, he insists, that cases brought by the JTTF end up being discounted. First, defense attorneys manipulate the public to create the impression that the accused are hapless —but since very few cases actually go to trial, this explanation is unlikely at best. Second, Fowler says, the FBI itself minimizes threats to prevent panic. As an example, he cites the case of "shoe bomber" Richard Reid, who pleaded guilty to terror-related charges. Reid, Fowler insists, was a much greater danger to America than is commonly appreciated —a refrain that requires the word of the JTTF be taken on faith.

TOMMY:
REID was a patsy provocateur who could have been arrested in OK CITY when he was with CHAMS--ATTA at the Terrorist Hotel on I--40.
FBI DID NOT WANT THE INFO FROM WITNESSES.
FALSE FLAG all the way.
All false flag.
_____________________
"The public is never going to see the evidence we have," Fowler says. "We don't want to reveal our hand or tip our sources. You cannot judge the nature of the terrorist threat to the United States based on the public record."
"But with such strictures," I ask, "how does a citizen become informed about the threat?"
"I have access to the information," Fowler says. "I have a lot of faith in the judgment of the common citizen. A lot of people understand the nature of the threat."
To get a perspective on how the War on Terror is being waged by cops on the street, I meet with two local police officers assigned to the JTTF. Sgt. Paul DeRosa of the Chicago Police Department and Master Sgt. Carl Gutierrez of the Illinois State Police act as liaison officers for their respective forces. Both are on call 24/7 for 365 days of the year. Both are regularly summoned at three in the morning to investigate potential terrorist activity in Chicago.
"This weekend I had two calls," Gutierrez says.
When I ask what the calls were about, all Gutierrez will say is that they involved "suspicious incidents" which "could possibly have a terrorist nexus." An example: People traveling on a train see someone taking photographs and acting suspiciously, and phone the police. "You have to understand we take those sort of calls very seriously," Gutierrez says. "We have to. If we don't, and something happens, and it comes back to us and lives are lost, who's to blame?"
To illustrate the kinds of cases the JTTF generates, Sgt. DeRosa cites an incident from three years ago. Two Middle Eastern men boarded a bus on Lake Shore Drive. They were bearded, dressed in traditional Arabic garb and sitting next to each other. As they rode the bus, one man was clicking a counter — the kind used at nightclubs to keep track of the crowd size. A passenger on the bus called 911.
"A report was made, and our CT squad was notified," DeRosa says. "We went and got the film from that bus. We reviewed it. We could see them clicking. We ask ourselves, 'Are they clicking passengers? Are they clicking when they go past buildings? Are they clicking on how many cars?' We put out a 'Bolo' —Be on the Lookout. We found where they got on the bus, and we did a stakeout. Seven or eight cars set up on the bus stop. On the third day, we spotted the guy. We talked to him." No one was arrested. There was no crime alleged. But DeRosa says proudly that the JTTF succeeded in finding the Man With the Clicker.
"Why was the man clicking?" I ask.
"They had to say a Muslim prayer 50,000 times," DeRosa says. "At first, we thought that was nonsense. Since then we've had a few of these incidents. Are these guys terrorists? Probably not. But in three days, they were identified and interviewed by the power of the JTTF — city and state police, FBI, Secret Service. Does that send a message to their community?"
Chicago has one of the largest Muslim populations in the country —some 400,000, DeRosa estimates. "Experts say that between five and ten percent of Muslims are extremists. So you take it down to one percent. What's one percent of 400,000? Forty thousand? Technically there could be 40,000 —"
"You mean 4,000," I say.
DeRosa pauses. "Right," he says. "Four thousand." He forges on. "Most people who come to America who are Middle Eastern come for a good reason. But there's still a percentage that may be here that don't like us. They are with the extremists."
Gutierrez offers another instance of the JTTF at work. A man of apparent Middle Eastern background came into a Chicago police station and said he worked for the Department of Defense and he had top-secret documents in his truck, which had been stolen. He also said his roommate was a terrorist. The man appeared to be a kook. But an allegation had been made. The JTTF was contacted. Gutierrez was called out, and he interviewed the subject. He soon verified that the man was, in fact, nuts. But the matter didn't end there.....
...There are signs, however, that judges and jurors are getting fed up with such concocted "threats." In December, the prosecution of the "Liberty City Seven" ended in one acquittal and a hung jury for the rest of the accused. The supposed cell was accused of preparing a "full ground war" against America by bringing down the Sears Tower and other buildings. At trial, however, it emerged that the men had no operational abilities, that the plots were dreamed up at the exhortation of two paid FBI informants while smoking dope and that the group had been provided its camera, military boots and warehouse by the JTTF.
Despite 15,000 surveillance recordings of the men, including one in which they swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden, the jury refused to convict. "This was all written, produced, directed, choreographed and stage-designed by the United States government," Albert Levin, an attorney for one of the accused, said in his closing argument.
Undeterred, the government is taking six of the men back to court. The retrial was scheduled to begin on January 22nd.

Feds allege plot to destroy Fannie Mae data
Fired Fannie Mae worker charged with planting virus to destroy mortgage giant's computer data
David Dishneau, Associated Press Writer
Friday January 30, 2009, 2:01 pm EST
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- A fired Fannie Mae contract worker pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges he planted a virus designed to destroy all the data on the mortgage giant's 4,000 computer servers nationwide, according to federal prosecutors.
If the virus had been released as planned on Saturday, the Justice Department said the disruption could have cost millions of dollars and shut down operations for a week at the largest U.S. mortgage finance company.
Rajendrasinh B. Makwana, 35, of Glen Allen, Va., pleaded not guilty Friday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore to one count of computer intrusion, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Makwana's federal public defender did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the allegation.
Makwana, a citizen of India, was fired early on the afternoon of Oct. 24 from his job at Fannie Mae's data center in Urbana, about 35 miles from the company's Washington headquarters, according to court records. An affidavit states he was fired for erroneously writing programming instructions two weeks earlier that changed the settings on high-speed computers called servers that are connected to multiple network users.
Before surrendering his Fannie Mae badge and laptop computer at the end of the day Oct. 24, Makwana "intentionally and without authorization caused and attempted to cause damage to Fannie Mae's computer network by entering malicious code," according to an indictment returned Tuesday.
The code, if executed this Saturday as planned, "would have resulted in destroying and altering all of the data on Fannie Mae servers," the indictment states.
According to the affidavit signed by FBI Special Agent Jessica A. Nye Jan. 6, a Fannie Mae engineer discovered the malicious instructions by chance Oct. 29. The programming instructions were removed that day and did no harm, according to the affidavit.
Had the virus been released, "it would have caused millions of dollars of damage and reduced if not shut down operations" for at least a week, Nye wrote.
The damage would have included cleaning out and restoring all 4,000 servers, restoring and securing the automation of mortgages and restoring all data that was erased, the FBI agent wrote.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Makwana was arrested Jan. 7 and released on $100,000 bond Jan. 8, according to court records.
Fannie Mae is the largest U.S. mortgage finance company. It owns or guarantees about $3 trillion in home loans.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both publicly traded, were created by Congress to inject money into the home-loan market by purchasing mortgages and bundling them into securities for sale to investors. Both were taken over by their government regulator in September after mounting mortgage losses put them in distress.
Feds allege plot to destroy Fannie Mae data
Fired Fannie Mae worker charged with planting virus to destroy mortgage giant's computer data
David Dishneau, Associated Press Writer
Friday January 30, 2009, 2:01 pm EST
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- A fired Fannie Mae contract worker pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges he planted a virus designed to destroy all the data on the mortgage giant's 4,000 computer servers nationwide, according to federal prosecutors.
If the virus had been released as planned on Saturday, the Justice Department said the disruption could have cost millions of dollars and shut down operations for a week at the largest U.S. mortgage finance company.

London, 30th January 2009:
THE OBAMA TREASURY HAS NOT DELIVERED
Although President Obama has been reported to us (repeatedly) as requiring the release of the Refunding and Settlements funds, the funding has not been released. Although Robert Armenta and Christopher J. McCurdy, of the New York Fed were arrested as reported in the preceding analysis, and other senior people have also been arrested, the releases have not transpired.
Although Neil Bush, we now understand, obtained access to the stolen $12.8 billion, and despite the fact that on 27th, 28th and 29th January we were specifically told that the same crooks were attempting to steal funds, that Dr Alan Greenspan, acting on instructions from Bush 41 and Bush 43, had been told (quote) 'if you do this again you will be eliminated' (unquote), and criminal operatives inside the US Treasury were (we were told) given the same warning, the main funds have not been released. Although the newly appointed US Director of National Intelligence (Admiral Blair*), Office of Naval Intelligence, was reported to us to have 'signed off' in accordance with President Obama's wishes, the main funds have not been released.
*This is no surprise.
Blair was at Oxford, as an ONI trainee under cover as a Rhodes Scholar, at the same time as Clinton. The ONI are suspected of operating a virulent blackmail campaign against one or more high-level personages in the United Kingdom. The Editor suspects that this factor is part of a cobweb of blackmail which the US criminal intelligence community thinks it can sustain in order to hold on to funds that have been stolen [see below]. That's what it thinks.
GREENSPAN INTERFERES, THE STEALING CONTINUES
On 28th January, notwithstanding the new broom at the White House, the arch-crook Greenspan interfered with the releases as reported above, with the transaction being stopped as a result.
The bank refused to accept the transfer and bankers on each side of the Atlantic were arrested.
As noted above, Greenspan's minions at the Treasury were given the same warning as Greenspan.
TWO MAIN REASONS WHY THE STEALING HAS NOT STOPPED UNDER OBAMA
There are, broadly speaking, two main reasons why these maniacs have continued their stealing operations under the nose of President Barack Obama, who we understand on good authority has made his requirements on this score crystal clear [see above]:
• The Fraudulent Finance criminalists have assumed that they can leverage the situation so that the derivatives Ponzi scamming operations continue as though there had been no discontinuity.
• The Bush/Baker/Clinton Fraudulent Finance Nexus have colossal financial obligations that they cannot meet, so they are continuing to try to steal the funds in order (a) to meet those obligations, and (b) to annexe them for use as platforms for their continued Fraudulent Finance intentions.
A list of Carlyle's personnel is annexed to this report as Appendix One.
This list provides some idea of the enormous problems these people face. In a Ponzi scam, new money is continually necessary to pay previous obligations. Derivatives activity is based upon the classic Ponzi Scheme model, as will be explained with the benefit of flow-chart diagrams in the forthcoming issue of our financial journal, International Currency Review. ALL these scams are based upon the classic primitive Ponzi Scheme or Pyramid Selling model.
THE PRESIDENT HAS CAREFULLY REFRAINED FROM MINCING HIS WORDS
President Obama's public statements have explicitly indicated, in translation, that the greed of Wall Street and therefore Fraudulent Finance, and the complacency and co-conspiratorial behaviour of corrupt US officials and legislators, are SPECIFICALLY responsible for this crisis.
This crisis is a SYSTEMIC FRAUDULENT FINANCE CRISIS first and foremost. All commentary and analyses that sidestep this reality are misleading and go nowhere.
This message was explicitly repeated when the President addressed a powerful group of American businessmen on 28th January, when, illustrating that he has his priorities straight, he advised them that men and women are returning to their homes to confront their spouses with the news that they have been fired, as a specific consequence of the unfettered greed of Wall Street scamsters and plutocratic investors playing around with speculative leveraged Fraudulent Finance transactions, and of the behaviour of 'Washington'. No-one except the perpetrators and people who haven't woken up from their political prejudices dissents from this view, anywhere in the world.
The Editor has just, at ten minutes past midnight (29th/30th January), received a distressed call from a lady in California who notified him that bureaucrats in certain State of California offices are, as we speak, engaged in massive fraudulent operations in connection with foreclosures affecting large numbers of citizens. The lady was extremely distressed, poor soul, but the Editor managed to tell her that he personally guarantees to publicise this criminality as soon as the necessary detailed information has been provided. Mr Obama needs to know about these scams, as well.
Unfortunately, it would appear that the new President, whose words can hardly be faulted so far as the financial crisis and its causes are concerned, is being used by the familiar unscrupulous forces as a foil behind which they have intended to continue with their Fraudulent Finance ops. If this is correct, then of course what we have here is another example of the standard modus operandi of double-mindedness: facing both ways. While the President embarks upon domestic and foreign political initiatives, the financial crooks think they can continue with their criminal operations.
THE MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES
But regrettably for the reprehensible serial scam artistes, the perpetuators of this Grandfather of all fraud scandals have forgotten the following PERTINENT, BASIC FACTS OF LIFE:
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES.
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE U.S. TREASURY.
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY OF THE WELL-KNOWN AMERICAN
CRIMINAL FINANCIAL ENTERPRISES IDENTIFIED IN PREVIOUS REPORTS IN THIS SERIES.
• THE $14 TRILLION BELONGS TO FOREIGN POWERS AND WAS MADE AVAILABLE INTER
ALIA TO REFUND THE DOLLAR SYSTEM BY GENERATING REVENUE IN THE PRIVATE
SECTOR AS DESCRIBED IN OUR REPORTS, AND TO FINANCE CERTAIN SETTLEMENTS.
• THE FOREIGN POWERS WILL NO LONGER BE PREPARED TO LEAVE THESE FUNDS IN THE
HANDS OF AN OBAMA TREASURY THAT IS HELL-BENT ON CONTINUING THE FRAUDULENT
FINANCE CAROUSEL UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S NOSE.
• BLACKMAILING THE G-7, THE QUEEN AND THE ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BY PERSISTING WITH A DELIBERATE FAILURE TO DEPLOY FUNDS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES, FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THEY WERE PLACED, WILL NOT 'FLY' ANY LONGER, EVEN UNDER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
THE STEEP PRICE FOR THIS ODIOUS ONGOING CRIMINALITY MAY BE PAID
Since the Obama Treasury has failed to deliver and none of the assurances received have any more credibility than those promulgated by the decadent Paulson Treasury, the appropriate price for this unparalleled criminal intransigence, which the foreign powers in question have leaned over backwards to avoid, may be paid.
A very widely promulgated assertion, believed to have been inspired by the Fraudulent Finance specialists in the Treasury and their co-conspirators externally, that the releases will not be taking place 'until mid-February' which morphed later into 'or even later', has clearly signalled that these people have not understood anything, leading to the conclusion that they will need to be made to pay the price of their continuing defiance.
And the price will be exceedingly painful, we understand.
A FEW TIMELY FACTUAL REMINDERS
Now for some subsidiary FACTS which appear to have been conveniently forgotten as well:
• The 'Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols' fund amount is of the order of $270 billion.
• An intelligence officer who accepts a freely given loan of $35,000 plus interest for two years, paid to get him out of Probation in order to assist towards the resolution of these matters, but who fails to take any steps at all to pay it back, not even writing a letter of intent to that effect, is not a fit person to handle vast sums of money, and could never be trusted with LOAN funds.
• The LOAN funds made available by Her Majesty The Queen on behalf of The Group of
Seven Financial powers, as reconfirmed in 2007 and 2008, will not be taken into the US Treasury where they could be exploited and yet again illegally used as base for further Fraudulent Finance operations. This has been the intention, but it will not be permitted.
• See above.
ATTEMPT TO GAG US FROM REPORTING UK FRAUDULENT FINANCE DEVELOPMENTS
Separately, a few days ago, the Editor was asked: would he hold back on any further comment arising from Lord Myners' belated observation, reported in the preceding analysis, that those engaged in FRAUD in the banking sector in Britain should be prosecuted.
We were about to add that the Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, interviewed on Sky News on 26th January, elaborated:
'We need to look at the behaviour of banks and bankers, and where such people have behaved inappropriately, that needs to be identified, and if anyone has behaved criminally, in my view, there is a role for the criminal law. I don't understand why in this country the regulatory authorities seem to be doing so little to investigate it, whereas in America, they are doing quite a lot'.
There followed hearings before the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee, at which the remarks purveyed for the benefit of uncomprehending MPs by a batch of Hedge Fund managers made it crystal clear that these unreformed operators have every intention of continuing their Fraudulent Finance Ponzi derivatives operations as though there has been no discontinuity.
• The MPs, of course, tended not to ask the right questions.
So, THAT was the reason, then, that the Editor of this service was asked not to elaborate further on the remarks attributed to Lord Myners. Memorandum to whoever issued this instruction:
• DON'T BANK ON BEING ABLE TO STIFLE US EVER AGAIN.
THE 'NO-ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS' LIE
And the other day, the London Evening Standard, which is being bought by the KGB/GRU officer Lebedev, a pal of Mikhail Gorbachev, carried a headline to the effect that Gordon Brown had stated that 'no-one could have predicted what has happened', with reference to the global financial crisis that of course, as an intelligence officer, Mr Brown knows all about.
On 27th January, Ian Powell, UK Chairman and Senior Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), stated: 'Nobody could have prepared for the events we have witnessed over the last few months'.
• No further comment.
BLANKFEINISM AND BLATAVNIKISM
On 28th January, Steve Schwarzman, Chairman of Blackstone, the giant 'private equity group', said that 'an almost incomprehensible' amount of 'cash' had evaporated since the financial crisis took hold. He estimated that over the past five quarters, over 40% of the world's wealth has been wiped out, although we think he was really referencing off-balance sheet Fraudulent Finance proceeds, when he said this at the World Economic Forum, a conspicuously German-Swiss-controlled event at which the so-called 'Great and the Good' (an inaccurate description) gather supposedly to map out the future for themselves and the whole of humanity.
These people are suffering either from a form of convenient amnesia, or from an outbreak of 'Blankfeinism', defined as the mindset which can be deployed at the drop of a hat by perpetrators as they paint themselves whiter than white.
To the previous report's segment about the Soviet criminalist KGB operative Leonid Blatavnik, to whom ABN Amro lent the princely sum of £2.5 billion, which the Royal Bank of Scotland is reported to have written off, we should add the further blast that Goldman Sachs lost $850 million on the collapse of Blatavnik's LyondellBasell chemicals firm. Citibank lent this crook more than $1.0 billion as well. Given such madness (please refer back to the nasty detail about Blatavnik's activities over Yugraneft, from the Norex case), it is no surprise that the successive waves of arrests that have afflicted the banking sector since the fall of 2007 have had little effect on the behaviour of these criminal enterprises. They are possessed of a mental illness inducing an urge for self-destruction.
BLANKET OF SILENCE ON THE DEMAND FOR $230 TRILLION
Following our report that a huge European institution which bought the clearing facilities from a huge US institution had DEMANDED the provision of the equivalent of one-third of the total value of derivatives contracts outstanding (one-third of about $700 trillion is about $230 trillion), a wall of silence has descended upon this critical matter. Obviously we know the names of the institutions concerned, and equally obviously we have necessarily refrained from revealing them.
The call reflected the fact that the big US Money Center institutions own the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation which guarantees (unbelievably) the derivatives contracts outstanding.
The reason we mention this again is that we find it incomprehensible that, notwithstanding such dreadful information, the Editor has, on 29th January in particular, been bombarded with more verbal dissimulation and claptrap about what is to happen concerning the Settlements and the Refinancing Programme than ever before. None of the stuff that the Editor has been told by the various sources in question has been accurate. It is all uninformed, deliberately obfuscatory ventilation bearing NO RELATION TO THE CENTRAL REALITY, which is this:
• THE MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES, THE U.S. TREASURY CANNOT, ON THE BASIS OF EVIDENCE UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA TO DATE, BE TRUSTED TO HANDLE IT CORRECTLY, so the necessary, overdue and painful price for this intransigence may be paid.
• If $14.0 trillion of your money, including LOAN funds, had been stolen, what would YOU do?
APPENDIX ONE: THE CARLYLE GROUP
Revealing the immense international reach of this vast operation:
‘Investment professionals’ working with The Carlyle Group worldwide, are listed in alphabetical order below. In 2008, The Carlyle Group had asserted in its publicity materials that, as one of the world’s largest private equity firms, it had more than $89.3 billion under management, operating 64 funds focusing on buyouts, growth capital, real estate and leveraged finance.

APPENDIX TWO: IN MEMORIAM
PROMINENT CRIMINALISM- AND EXPOSURE-RELATED ‘NEUTRALISATIONS’ REPORTED IN RECENT MONTHS, EXCLUDING AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF BANKER ‘DISAPPEARANCES’
The following tragic deaths related to this crisis have been reported in the ‘mainstream’ media:
• Paulo Sergio Silva, aged 36, a trader working for the brokerage arm of the Brazilian banking congolmerate Itau, 'shot himself in the chest' during an afternoon trading session of the Sao Paulo commodities and futures exchange last November, stopping trading for 15 minutes.
• Kirk Stephenson, who helped start Luqman Arnold's investment company Olivant Ltd. in London, committed suicide, a British coroner's court decided in December 2008. Stephenson, 47, jumped in front of a train on 25th September 2008, at the railway station in Taplow, near Maidenhead, located 28 miles west of London. The train was travelling at 100 miles an hour.
• Alex Widmer, Chief Executive of Bank Julius Baer, Zürich, aged 52, was reported by Reuters on 5th December to have ‘committed suicide’. Two unnamed ‘independent’ sources were cited by the Swiss News website 20Minuten to have stated that the death was a suicide.
Swiss police refused to comment on the death. A bank spokesman, however, was careful to point out for public consumption that there was no link between Widmer’s death and the group’s current [sic] activities, but declined to give further details on the cause of Widmer’s death, saying it was a ‘private matter’. The operative word here was ‘current’, implying that Widmer had been involved in questionable activities in the past: and indeed, further enquiries by this service confirmed that this interpretation is correct. Market sources have advised the Editor of this service that ‘the top Julius Baer banker was killed and we know why’: other sources have stated unequivocally to us that this was a murder, associated with the elaborate cover-up, retribution and ‘neutralisation’ operations that are taking place in the context of the Settlements crisis.
• Gavin Macdonald, aged 47, a top mergers and acquisitions banker, was reported on Monday 8th December 2008 to have died ‘from a heart attack’ at the London offices of Morgan Stanley in Canary Wharf. However he died on the preceding Friday night, so that his death was not in fact announced for at least 56 hours. Macdonald was Global Head of Mergers and Acquisitions for the institution. In view of the fact that he died ‘on Friday night’, there was plenty of time for a ‘massaged line’ to have been developed to ‘explain’ his sudden death, which was attributed to ‘overwork’. Promptly on the Monday, Morgan Stanley’s CEO, John Mack, led tributes to the dead banker.
Mr Mack heads the institution within which a special suite devoted to the financing of terrorism, which we now refer to as the Terrorism Financing Center, is located. When the Provost Marshal attempted, with Department of Defense Internal Affairs assistance, to enter this room in October 2007, he was barred from entry on the orders of Vice President Cheney, to whom, ludicrously, he reported. You'll have noted that THERE HAS BEEN NO DENIAL OF THIS INFORMATION – for the familiar reason that the intelligence, which came from the actual ensuing investigation, is true.
Macdonald would of course have been aware of the existence of the Terrorism Financing Center, and may well have been considered a prospective threat to the ongoing cover-up operations. Mr Mack’s oleaginous tributes to Gavin Macdonald need to be considered in the foregoing context.
• Christen Schnor, aged 49, a Danish-born senior executive with HSBC bank, was discovered on Wednesday afternoon 17th December hanging by a belt, naked, in the wardrobe of his £500-a-night suite at the Jumeriah Carlton Tower Hotel, Cadogan Place, in Knightsbridge, London, having also rented a £390-a-day apartment for his wife and two children in Lower Sloane Street, in the same upper-class area. Schnor worked at HSBC’s Canary Wharf office. This death resembles that of Amschel Rothschild who was discovered hanging in a high-class hotel in Paris on 11th July 1996.
• Non-banking death: Michael Connell, an IT expert said to have been directly implicated in the rigging of George W. Bush Jr.’s 2000 and 2004 elections (since the Republicans cannot ‘win’ US elections without rigging them these days, as previously explained, due to deliberately arranged demographic factors) was killed on 19th December when his single-engine private plane crashed three miles short of Akron airport. Mr Connell was reported to have told a close associate that he was afraid that George Bush and Vice President Cheney would “throw [him] under a bus”.
It had earlier been verified that Carl Rove had threatened Connell and his wife, Heather (sounds familiar?). Mr Connell had flown to a small airport outside Washington DC on 18th December 2008 for a meeting. On 31st October, Mr Connell had appeared before a Federal Judge in Ohio after being subpoenaed in a Federal lawsuit investigating the rigging of the 2004 election under Karl Rove’s direction. The Judge ordered Mr Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on 3rd November 2008, the day before the election.
The Bush White House was reported to have become extremely concerned that Mr Connell planned to divulge details of his secret illegal work for the White House. Heather Connell owns GovTech Solutions. Both GovTech and an IT firm called SmartTech of Chattanooga, TN, have been implicated in the rigging of the 2000 and 2004 elections and a White House email scandal.
In 2005, the US operative Andy Stephenson was poisoned with a substance capable of mimicking pancreatic cancer, after travelling the United States tirelessly exposing the wholesale falsification of election results using doctored software and rigged electronic voting machines, thus making a mockery of George W. Bush’s puffed-up boasting about ‘spreading democracy’ in the Middle East and elsewhere. Further exposure of this sub-scandal would be very liable to broaden and become engulfed in the colossal Fraudulent Finance unravelling that is taking place, which the criminalists are trying desperately to cover up, without success.
• René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, 65, founding partner and CEO of Access International Advisors, was found dead with his wrists slashed on the morning of Tuesday 23rd December 2008, in his office at 509 Madison Avenue, New York. The French financier, an aristocratic society fund manager with a chateau in Brittany, was found at 7.50am with no pulse, in his office a couple of blocks from the Rockefeller Center. A spokeswoman for the New York medical examiner was careful to insist many hours later that it had not yet established the cause of death.
In other such cases, ‘sources’ have been in the habit of insisting that the death was a ‘suicide’.
The French financier employed a sizeable army of royally-connected ‘Alpine advisers’ to trawl the casinos, ski slopes and yacht clubs of Europe in frantic search of wealthy investors for investment in his fund, which in turn fed the demand for ‘replacement money’ for the Bernard L. Madoff Ponzi investment operations. M. de la Villehuchet’s connections and his own high aristocratic pedigree enabled him to tap into a rich seam of intermediaries who helped to secure funds on behalf of Access, for onward placement with Madoff.
His ‘advisors’ included Philippe Junot, first husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Crown Prince Michael of Yugoslavia, described as an ‘investor relations executive’. Families said to have invested with the French financier included the Rothschilds, other European grandees, and heirs to the L’Oréal cosmetics fortune, especially 86-year-old Liliane Bettencourt, daughter of the L’Oréal SA founder, Eugene Schueller, who is reported to have invested part of her fortune estimated at $22.9 billion with Bernard L. Madoff through the dead French financier. The 86-year-old holds a 30% shareholding in L’Oréal SA, which is the world’s largest manufacturer and purveyor of cosmetics.
In a letter dated 12th December 2008 to clients, Access International Advisors stated that funds, including its LUXALPHA SICAV-American Selection, were invested solely with Bernard L. Madoff’s investment firm. Data compiled by Bloomberg indicated that it had $1.4 billion in assets as at 17th November 2008. Reporting M. de la Villehuchet’s death, The Daily Telegraph (on 24th December 2008) cited an anonymous source as stating that it was ‘highly likely’ that the French financier committed suicide, while a French newspaper report stated that he killed himself.
• Adolf Merckle, a German industrialist and billionaire, aged 74, was found on 5th January 2009 near railway tracks in southern Germany. The BBC reported on 6th January that Merckle had lost about 400 million Euros after wrong-way bets on Volkswagen shares. Herr Merckle‘s business interests included Phoenix Pharmahandel, a drugs wholesaler with annual sales of about 21 billion Euros, Ratiopharm, a generic drugs company with annual sales estimated at some 1.8 billion Euros, Heidelberg Cement, a cement firm with annual sales of 11+ billion Euros, the Kaessbohrer ski-slope equipment firm with sales of 183 million Euros, and VEM, a conglomerate of three German engine manufacturers, with sales of 280 million Euros. The total turnover of the deceased's conglomerate in 2008 was 30 billion Euros. The businesses employ about 71,000 people. Herr Merckle's holding company had been in talks with banks to secure credit after it ran up high levels of debt.
In a statement, the family commented that ‘the distress to his firms caused by the financial crisis and the related uncertainties of recent weeks, along with helplessness of being unable to act, broke [him] and he ended his life’.
‘News of Adolf Merckle's death left me deeply shaken’, Baden-Wuerttemberg's Prime Minister, Guenther Oettinger, said. The State had ‘lost a great entrepreneur’. In November 2008, the State Government signalled it would not assist Merckle after he sought a bailout. Herr Merckle had hired the insolvency lawyer Eberhard Braun and had threatened to initiate bankruptcy proceedings for VEM unless lenders provided him with restructuring capital, according to reports in December.
• The subtle point to be understood here is that until perhaps January, the Bush Crime/DVD nexus thought they had ‘won’, which was an illusion. They COULD NEVER ‘WIN’ without also destroying the Rockefellers through inter alia the collapse of JPMorgan Chase (a Germany-oriented bank), which means that the Clintons (as the former US President is a Rockefeller) could not, finally, allow the Bushes to get away with their game. Therefore, ALL OF A SUDDEN, and given the ‘lockdown’, the Clintons may have agreed to support the Settlements: which they cannot avoid in view of the immense and probably intolerable pressure they face.
• Steve Good, Chairman and Chief Executive of Sheldon Good & Co., a leading US real estate auction firm, was found with a gunshot to the head in his red Jaguar on Monday 5th January (the same day as Herr Merckle threw himself in front of a train near his Blaubeuren home in southern Germany). No suicide note was found with the body, suggesting this was yet another execution. Mr Good, who was Chairman of the US Realtors' Commercial Alliance Committee, had a long-standing business relationship with Donald Trump, according to several reports dated 7th January 2009.
• Catherine Bailey, 41, a litigation partner with the law firm SJ Berwin, disappeared from her firm’s offices in Chancery lane, Central London, on Friday 9th January 2009.
Her body was found in the Thames, near Richmond Bridge, southwest London, on Sunday 11th January 2009. The lawyer’s practice included banking and regulatory disputes, involving Financial Services Authority (FSA) investigations, investment mismanagement cases and financial markets litigation. The lady was said to have been involved in a number of high-value cases and her clients included banks, funds, public and private companies and investment vehicles: in other words, she was up to her eyes in derivatives operations.
• Arthur Nadel, 76, a Hedge Fund manager in Sarasota, Florida, was reported by Bloomberg to have disappeared on 14th January. The report stated that clients were concerned that hundreds of millions of dollars may have been lost – i.e. that, with the Ponzi Scheme exposed, the manager had absconded with the money. However Nadel had telephoned his stepson and told him to go to his house, where he had left a note. Nadel ran Scoop Management Inc., which oversaw funds including Valhalla Investment Partners LP. (sic!). On 16th January, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that Scoop Management Inc. may have ‘managed’ some $350 million of funds.
Sarasota police initiated an investigation on 16th January after receiving phone calls from 1:30pm in the afternoon concerning allegations about ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ missing, according to a local police spokesman. The local newspaper described the note found by police at Nadel’s residence as ‘a suicide note’. With the drying-up of fresh sources of Ponzi funds to pay off earlier investors, the Ponzi scam had been exposed. With these fraudulent schemes, everything appears fine, perhaps for many years – the assumption being that fresh sources of finance will always be forthcoming, as investors are enticed by greed and their failure to adhere to the Prudent Man Rule [see General Glossary]. The possibility that fresh sources of finance might evaporate one day, is never considered, such is the parties’ capacity for self-deception. HOWEVER, on 27th January, Mr Nadel was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on charges of securities fraud.
• Patrick Rocca, 41, was reported by The Times, London, on 21st January 2009, to have been seen on 19th January wandering around outside his luxury Dublin home in his pyjamas. A little while later he shot himself in the head while his wife Anette was out on the school run. He died from a single gunshot at the family home in Holmeleigh, an exclusive residential enclave on the edge of Dublin’s Castleknock Gold and Country Club. The late Mr Rocca was believed to have more than e20 million in loans tied up with Anglo Irish Bank, which the Irish Government had just announced that it was nationalising. The death occurred on the day that a High Court Judge was picking through the débris of a vast pyramid scheme run by Breifne O’Brien: ANOTHER PONZI SCAM.

London, 30th January 2009:
THE OBAMA TREASURY HAS NOT DELIVERED
Although President Obama has been reported to us (repeatedly) as requiring the release of the Refunding and Settlements funds, the funding has not been released. Although Robert Armenta and Christopher J. McCurdy, of the New York Fed were arrested as reported in the preceding analysis, and other senior people have also been arrested, the releases have not transpired.
Although Neil Bush, we now understand, obtained access to the stolen $12.8 billion, and despite the fact that on 27th, 28th and 29th January we were specifically told that the same crooks were attempting to steal funds, that Dr Alan Greenspan, acting on instructions from Bush 41 and Bush 43, had been told (quote) 'if you do this again you will be eliminated' (unquote), and criminal operatives inside the US Treasury were (we were told) given the same warning, the main funds have not been released. Although the newly appointed US Director of National Intelligence (Admiral Blair*), Office of Naval Intelligence, was reported to us to have 'signed off' in accordance with President Obama's wishes, the main funds have not been released.
*This is no surprise.
Blair was at Oxford, as an ONI trainee under cover as a Rhodes Scholar, at the same time as Clinton. The ONI are suspected of operating a virulent blackmail campaign against one or more high-level personages in the United Kingdom. The Editor suspects that this factor is part of a cobweb of blackmail which the US criminal intelligence community thinks it can sustain in order to hold on to funds that have been stolen [see below]. That's what it thinks.
GREENSPAN INTERFERES, THE STEALING CONTINUES
On 28th January, notwithstanding the new broom at the White House, the arch-crook Greenspan interfered with the releases as reported above, with the transaction being stopped as a result.
The bank refused to accept the transfer and bankers on each side of the Atlantic were arrested.
As noted above, Greenspan's minions at the Treasury were given the same warning as Greenspan.
TWO MAIN REASONS WHY THE STEALING HAS NOT STOPPED UNDER OBAMA
There are, broadly speaking, two main reasons why these maniacs have continued their stealing operations under the nose of President Barack Obama, who we understand on good authority has made his requirements on this score crystal clear [see above]:
• The Fraudulent Finance criminalists have assumed that they can leverage the situation so that the derivatives Ponzi scamming operations continue as though there had been no discontinuity.
• The Bush/Baker/Clinton Fraudulent Finance Nexus have colossal financial obligations that they cannot meet, so they are continuing to try to steal the funds in order (a) to meet those obligations, and (b) to annexe them for use as platforms for their continued Fraudulent Finance intentions.
A list of Carlyle's personnel is annexed to this report as Appendix One.
This list provides some idea of the enormous problems these people face. In a Ponzi scam, new money is continually necessary to pay previous obligations. Derivatives activity is based upon the classic Ponzi Scheme model, as will be explained with the benefit of flow-chart diagrams in the forthcoming issue of our financial journal, International Currency Review. ALL these scams are based upon the classic primitive Ponzi Scheme or Pyramid Selling model.
THE PRESIDENT HAS CAREFULLY REFRAINED FROM MINCING HIS WORDS
President Obama's public statements have explicitly indicated, in translation, that the greed of Wall Street and therefore Fraudulent Finance, and the complacency and co-conspiratorial behaviour of corrupt US officials and legislators, are SPECIFICALLY responsible for this crisis.
This crisis is a SYSTEMIC FRAUDULENT FINANCE CRISIS first and foremost. All commentary and analyses that sidestep this reality are misleading and go nowhere.
This message was explicitly repeated when the President addressed a powerful group of American businessmen on 28th January, when, illustrating that he has his priorities straight, he advised them that men and women are returning to their homes to confront their spouses with the news that they have been fired, as a specific consequence of the unfettered greed of Wall Street scamsters and plutocratic investors playing around with speculative leveraged Fraudulent Finance transactions, and of the behaviour of 'Washington'. No-one except the perpetrators and people who haven't woken up from their political prejudices dissents from this view, anywhere in the world.
The Editor has just, at ten minutes past midnight (29th/30th January), received a distressed call from a lady in California who notified him that bureaucrats in certain State of California offices are, as we speak, engaged in massive fraudulent operations in connection with foreclosures affecting large numbers of citizens. The lady was extremely distressed, poor soul, but the Editor managed to tell her that he personally guarantees to publicise this criminality as soon as the necessary detailed information has been provided. Mr Obama needs to know about these scams, as well.
Unfortunately, it would appear that the new President, whose words can hardly be faulted so far as the financial crisis and its causes are concerned, is being used by the familiar unscrupulous forces as a foil behind which they have intended to continue with their Fraudulent Finance ops. If this is correct, then of course what we have here is another example of the standard modus operandi of double-mindedness: facing both ways. While the President embarks upon domestic and foreign political initiatives, the financial crooks think they can continue with their criminal operations.
THE MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES
But regrettably for the reprehensible serial scam artistes, the perpetuators of this Grandfather of all fraud scandals have forgotten the following PERTINENT, BASIC FACTS OF LIFE:
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES.
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO THE U.S. TREASURY.
• THE $14 TRILLION DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY OF THE WELL-KNOWN AMERICAN
CRIMINAL FINANCIAL ENTERPRISES IDENTIFIED IN PREVIOUS REPORTS IN THIS SERIES.
• THE $14 TRILLION BELONGS TO FOREIGN POWERS AND WAS MADE AVAILABLE INTER
ALIA TO REFUND THE DOLLAR SYSTEM BY GENERATING REVENUE IN THE PRIVATE
SECTOR AS DESCRIBED IN OUR REPORTS, AND TO FINANCE CERTAIN SETTLEMENTS.
• THE FOREIGN POWERS WILL NO LONGER BE PREPARED TO LEAVE THESE FUNDS IN THE
HANDS OF AN OBAMA TREASURY THAT IS HELL-BENT ON CONTINUING THE FRAUDULENT
FINANCE CAROUSEL UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S NOSE.
• BLACKMAILING THE G-7, THE QUEEN AND THE ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BY PERSISTING WITH A DELIBERATE FAILURE TO DEPLOY FUNDS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES, FOR THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THEY WERE PLACED, WILL NOT 'FLY' ANY LONGER, EVEN UNDER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA.
THE STEEP PRICE FOR THIS ODIOUS ONGOING CRIMINALITY MAY BE PAID
Since the Obama Treasury has failed to deliver and none of the assurances received have any more credibility than those promulgated by the decadent Paulson Treasury, the appropriate price for this unparalleled criminal intransigence, which the foreign powers in question have leaned over backwards to avoid, may be paid.
A very widely promulgated assertion, believed to have been inspired by the Fraudulent Finance specialists in the Treasury and their co-conspirators externally, that the releases will not be taking place 'until mid-February' which morphed later into 'or even later', has clearly signalled that these people have not understood anything, leading to the conclusion that they will need to be made to pay the price of their continuing defiance.
And the price will be exceedingly painful, we understand.
A FEW TIMELY FACTUAL REMINDERS
Now for some subsidiary FACTS which appear to have been conveniently forgotten as well:
• The 'Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols' fund amount is of the order of $270 billion.
• An intelligence officer who accepts a freely given loan of $35,000 plus interest for two years, paid to get him out of Probation in order to assist towards the resolution of these matters, but who fails to take any steps at all to pay it back, not even writing a letter of intent to that effect, is not a fit person to handle vast sums of money, and could never be trusted with LOAN funds.
• The LOAN funds made available by Her Majesty The Queen on behalf of The Group of
Seven Financial powers, as reconfirmed in 2007 and 2008, will not be taken into the US Treasury where they could be exploited and yet again illegally used as base for further Fraudulent Finance operations. This has been the intention, but it will not be permitted.
• See above.
ATTEMPT TO GAG US FROM REPORTING UK FRAUDULENT FINANCE DEVELOPMENTS
Separately, a few days ago, the Editor was asked: would he hold back on any further comment arising from Lord Myners' belated observation, reported in the preceding analysis, that those engaged in FRAUD in the banking sector in Britain should be prosecuted.
We were about to add that the Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, interviewed on Sky News on 26th January, elaborated:
'We need to look at the behaviour of banks and bankers, and where such people have behaved inappropriately, that needs to be identified, and if anyone has behaved criminally, in my view, there is a role for the criminal law. I don't understand why in this country the regulatory authorities seem to be doing so little to investigate it, whereas in America, they are doing quite a lot'.
There followed hearings before the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee, at which the remarks purveyed for the benefit of uncomprehending MPs by a batch of Hedge Fund managers made it crystal clear that these unreformed operators have every intention of continuing their Fraudulent Finance Ponzi derivatives operations as though there has been no discontinuity.
• The MPs, of course, tended not to ask the right questions.
So, THAT was the reason, then, that the Editor of this service was asked not to elaborate further on the remarks attributed to Lord Myners. Memorandum to whoever issued this instruction:
• DON'T BANK ON BEING ABLE TO STIFLE US EVER AGAIN.
THE 'NO-ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS' LIE
And the other day, the London Evening Standard, which is being bought by the KGB/GRU officer Lebedev, a pal of Mikhail Gorbachev, carried a headline to the effect that Gordon Brown had stated that 'no-one could have predicted what has happened', with reference to the global financial crisis that of course, as an intelligence officer, Mr Brown knows all about.
On 27th January, Ian Powell, UK Chairman and Senior Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), stated: 'Nobody could have prepared for the events we have witnessed over the last few months'.
• No further comment.
BLANKFEINISM AND BLATAVNIKISM
On 28th January, Steve Schwarzman, Chairman of Blackstone, the giant 'private equity group', said that 'an almost incomprehensible' amount of 'cash' had evaporated since the financial crisis took hold. He estimated that over the past five quarters, over 40% of the world's wealth has been wiped out, although we think he was really referencing off-balance sheet Fraudulent Finance proceeds, when he said this at the World Economic Forum, a conspicuously German-Swiss-controlled event at which the so-called 'Great and the Good' (an inaccurate description) gather supposedly to map out the future for themselves and the whole of humanity.
These people are suffering either from a form of convenient amnesia, or from an outbreak of 'Blankfeinism', defined as the mindset which can be deployed at the drop of a hat by perpetrators as they paint themselves whiter than white.
To the previous report's segment about the Soviet criminalist KGB operative Leonid Blatavnik, to whom ABN Amro lent the princely sum of £2.5 billion, which the Royal Bank of Scotland is reported to have written off, we should add the further blast that Goldman Sachs lost $850 million on the collapse of Blatavnik's LyondellBasell chemicals firm. Citibank lent this crook more than $1.0 billion as well. Given such madness (please refer back to the nasty detail about Blatavnik's activities over Yugraneft, from the Norex case), it is no surprise that the successive waves of arrests that have afflicted the banking sector since the fall of 2007 have had little effect on the behaviour of these criminal enterprises. They are possessed of a mental illness inducing an urge for self-destruction.
BLANKET OF SILENCE ON THE DEMAND FOR $230 TRILLION
Following our report that a huge European institution which bought the clearing facilities from a huge US institution had DEMANDED the provision of the equivalent of one-third of the total value of derivatives contracts outstanding (one-third of about $700 trillion is about $230 trillion), a wall of silence has descended upon this critical matter. Obviously we know the names of the institutions concerned, and equally obviously we have necessarily refrained from revealing them.
The call reflected the fact that the big US Money Center institutions own the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation which guarantees (unbelievably) the derivatives contracts outstanding.
The reason we mention this again is that we find it incomprehensible that, notwithstanding such dreadful information, the Editor has, on 29th January in particular, been bombarded with more verbal dissimulation and claptrap about what is to happen concerning the Settlements and the Refinancing Programme than ever before. None of the stuff that the Editor has been told by the various sources in question has been accurate. It is all uninformed, deliberately obfuscatory ventilation bearing NO RELATION TO THE CENTRAL REALITY, which is this:
• THE MONEY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE UNITED STATES, THE U.S. TREASURY CANNOT, ON THE BASIS OF EVIDENCE UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA TO DATE, BE TRUSTED TO HANDLE IT CORRECTLY, so the necessary, overdue and painful price for this intransigence may be paid.
• If $14.0 trillion of your money, including LOAN funds, had been stolen, what would YOU do?
APPENDIX ONE: THE CARLYLE GROUP

APPENDIX TWO: IN MEMORIAM
PROMINENT CRIMINALISM- AND EXPOSURE-RELATED ‘NEUTRALISATIONS’ REPORTED IN RECENT MONTHS, EXCLUDING AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF BANKER ‘DISAPPEARANCES’
The following tragic deaths related to this crisis have been reported in the ‘mainstream’ media:
• Paulo Sergio Silva, aged 36, a trader working for the brokerage arm of the Brazilian banking congolmerate Itau, 'shot himself in the chest' during an afternoon trading session of the Sao Paulo commodities and futures exchange last November, stopping trading for 15 minutes.
• Kirk Stephenson, who helped start Luqman Arnold's investment company Olivant Ltd. in London, committed suicide, a British coroner's court decided in December 2008. Stephenson, 47, jumped in front of a train on 25th September 2008, at the railway station in Taplow, near Maidenhead, located 28 miles west of London. The train was travelling at 100 miles an hour.
• Alex Widmer, Chief Executive of Bank Julius Baer, Zürich, aged 52, was reported by Reuters on 5th December to have ‘committed suicide’. Two unnamed ‘independent’ sources were cited by the Swiss News website 20Minuten to have stated that the death was a suicide.
Swiss police refused to comment on the death. A bank spokesman, however, was careful to point out for public consumption that there was no link between Widmer’s death and the group’s current [sic] activities, but declined to give further details on the cause of Widmer’s death, saying it was a ‘private matter’. The operative word here was ‘current’, implying that Widmer had been involved in questionable activities in the past: and indeed, further enquiries by this service confirmed that this interpretation is correct. Market sources have advised the Editor of this service that ‘the top Julius Baer banker was killed and we know why’: other sources have stated unequivocally to us that this was a murder, associated with the elaborate cover-up, retribution and ‘neutralisation’ operations that are taking place in the context of the Settlements crisis.
• Gavin Macdonald, aged 47, a top mergers and acquisitions banker, was reported on Monday 8th December 2008 to have died ‘from a heart attack’ at the London offices of Morgan Stanley in Canary Wharf. However he died on the preceding Friday night, so that his death was not in fact announced for at least 56 hours. Macdonald was Global Head of Mergers and Acquisitions for the institution. In view of the fact that he died ‘on Friday night’, there was plenty of time for a ‘massaged line’ to have been developed to ‘explain’ his sudden death, which was attributed to ‘overwork’. Promptly on the Monday, Morgan Stanley’s CEO, John Mack, led tributes to the dead banker.
Mr Mack heads the institution within which a special suite devoted to the financing of terrorism, which we now refer to as the Terrorism Financing Center, is located. When the Provost Marshal attempted, with Department of Defense Internal Affairs assistance, to enter this room in October 2007, he was barred from entry on the orders of Vice President Cheney, to whom, ludicrously, he reported. You'll have noted that THERE HAS BEEN NO DENIAL OF THIS INFORMATION – for the familiar reason that the intelligence, which came from the actual ensuing investigation, is true.
Macdonald would of course have been aware of the existence of the Terrorism Financing Center, and may well have been considered a prospective threat to the ongoing cover-up operations. Mr Mack’s oleaginous tributes to Gavin Macdonald need to be considered in the foregoing context.
• Christen Schnor, aged 49, a Danish-born senior executive with HSBC bank, was discovered on Wednesday afternoon 17th December hanging by a belt, naked, in the wardrobe of his £500-a-night suite at the Jumeriah Carlton Tower Hotel, Cadogan Place, in Knightsbridge, London, having also rented a £390-a-day apartment for his wife and two children in Lower Sloane Street, in the same upper-class area. Schnor worked at HSBC’s Canary Wharf office. This death resembles that of Amschel Rothschild who was discovered hanging in a high-class hotel in Paris on 11th July 1996.
• Non-banking death: Michael Connell, an IT expert said to have been directly implicated in the rigging of George W. Bush Jr.’s 2000 and 2004 elections (since the Republicans cannot ‘win’ US elections without rigging them these days, as previously explained, due to deliberately arranged demographic factors) was killed on 19th December when his single-engine private plane crashed three miles short of Akron airport. Mr Connell was reported to have told a close associate that he was afraid that George Bush and Vice President Cheney would “throw [him] under a bus”.
It had earlier been verified that Carl Rove had threatened Connell and his wife, Heather (sounds familiar?). Mr Connell had flown to a small airport outside Washington DC on 18th December 2008 for a meeting. On 31st October, Mr Connell had appeared before a Federal Judge in Ohio after being subpoenaed in a Federal lawsuit investigating the rigging of the 2004 election under Karl Rove’s direction. The Judge ordered Mr Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on 3rd November 2008, the day before the election.
The Bush White House was reported to have become extremely concerned that Mr Connell planned to divulge details of his secret illegal work for the White House. Heather Connell owns GovTech Solutions. Both GovTech and an IT firm called SmartTech of Chattanooga, TN, have been implicated in the rigging of the 2000 and 2004 elections and a White House email scandal.
In 2005, the US operative Andy Stephenson was poisoned with a substance capable of mimicking pancreatic cancer, after travelling the United States tirelessly exposing the wholesale falsification of election results using doctored software and rigged electronic voting machines, thus making a mockery of George W. Bush’s puffed-up boasting about ‘spreading democracy’ in the Middle East and elsewhere. Further exposure of this sub-scandal would be very liable to broaden and become engulfed in the colossal Fraudulent Finance unravelling that is taking place, which the criminalists are trying desperately to cover up, without success.
• René-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, 65, founding partner and CEO of Access International Advisors, was found dead with his wrists slashed on the morning of Tuesday 23rd December 2008, in his office at 509 Madison Avenue, New York. The French financier, an aristocratic society fund manager with a chateau in Brittany, was found at 7.50am with no pulse, in his office a couple of blocks from the Rockefeller Center. A spokeswoman for the New York medical examiner was careful to insist many hours later that it had not yet established the cause of death.
In other such cases, ‘sources’ have been in the habit of insisting that the death was a ‘suicide’.
The French financier employed a sizeable army of royally-connected ‘Alpine advisers’ to trawl the casinos, ski slopes and yacht clubs of Europe in frantic search of wealthy investors for investment in his fund, which in turn fed the demand for ‘replacement money’ for the Bernard L. Madoff Ponzi investment operations. M. de la Villehuchet’s connections and his own high aristocratic pedigree enabled him to tap into a rich seam of intermediaries who helped to secure funds on behalf of Access, for onward placement with Madoff.
His ‘advisors’ included Philippe Junot, first husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Crown Prince Michael of Yugoslavia, described as an ‘investor relations executive’. Families said to have invested with the French financier included the Rothschilds, other European grandees, and heirs to the L’Oréal cosmetics fortune, especially 86-year-old Liliane Bettencourt, daughter of the L’Oréal SA founder, Eugene Schueller, who is reported to have invested part of her fortune estimated at $22.9 billion with Bernard L. Madoff through the dead French financier. The 86-year-old holds a 30% shareholding in L’Oréal SA, which is the world’s largest manufacturer and purveyor of cosmetics.
In a letter dated 12th December 2008 to clients, Access International Advisors stated that funds, including its LUXALPHA SICAV-American Selection, were invested solely with Bernard L. Madoff’s investment firm. Data compiled by Bloomberg indicated that it had $1.4 billion in assets as at 17th November 2008. Reporting M. de la Villehuchet’s death, The Daily Telegraph (on 24th December 2008) cited an anonymous source as stating that it was ‘highly likely’ that the French financier committed suicide, while a French newspaper report stated that he killed himself.
• Adolf Merckle, a German industrialist and billionaire, aged 74, was found on 5th January 2009 near railway tracks in southern Germany. The BBC reported on 6th January that Merckle had lost about 400 million Euros after wrong-way bets on Volkswagen shares. Herr Merckle‘s business interests included Phoenix Pharmahandel, a drugs wholesaler with annual sales of about 21 billion Euros, Ratiopharm, a generic drugs company with annual sales estimated at some 1.8 billion Euros, Heidelberg Cement, a cement firm with annual sales of 11+ billion Euros, the Kaessbohrer ski-slope equipment firm with sales of 183 million Euros, and VEM, a conglomerate of three German engine manufacturers, with sales of 280 million Euros. The total turnover of the deceased's conglomerate in 2008 was 30 billion Euros. The businesses employ about 71,000 people. Herr Merckle's holding company had been in talks with banks to secure credit after it ran up high levels of debt.
In a statement, the family commented that ‘the distress to his firms caused by the financial crisis and the related uncertainties of recent weeks, along with helplessness of being unable to act, broke [him] and he ended his life’.
‘News of Adolf Merckle's death left me deeply shaken’, Baden-Wuerttemberg's Prime Minister, Guenther Oettinger, said. The State had ‘lost a great entrepreneur’. In November 2008, the State Government signalled it would not assist Merckle after he sought a bailout. Herr Merckle had hired the insolvency lawyer Eberhard Braun and had threatened to initiate bankruptcy proceedings for VEM unless lenders provided him with restructuring capital, according to reports in December.
• The subtle point to be understood here is that until perhaps January, the Bush Crime/DVD nexus thought they had ‘won’, which was an illusion. They COULD NEVER ‘WIN’ without also destroying the Rockefellers through inter alia the collapse of JPMorgan Chase (a Germany-oriented bank), which means that the Clintons (as the former US President is a Rockefeller) could not, finally, allow the Bushes to get away with their game. Therefore, ALL OF A SUDDEN, and given the ‘lockdown’, the Clintons may have agreed to support the Settlements: which they cannot avoid in view of the immense and probably intolerable pressure they face.
• Steve Good, Chairman and Chief Executive of Sheldon Good & Co., a leading US real estate auction firm, was found with a gunshot to the head in his red Jaguar on Monday 5th January (the same day as Herr Merckle threw himself in front of a train near his Blaubeuren home in southern Germany). No suicide note was found with the body, suggesting this was yet another execution. Mr Good, who was Chairman of the US Realtors' Commercial Alliance Committee, had a long-standing business relationship with Donald Trump, according to several reports dated 7th January 2009.
• Catherine Bailey, 41, a litigation partner with the law firm SJ Berwin, disappeared from her firm’s offices in Chancery lane, Central London, on Friday 9th January 2009.
Her body was found in the Thames, near Richmond Bridge, southwest London, on Sunday 11th January 2009. The lawyer’s practice included banking and regulatory disputes, involving Financial Services Authority (FSA) investigations, investment mismanagement cases and financial markets litigation. The lady was said to have been involved in a number of high-value cases and her clients included banks, funds, public and private companies and investment vehicles: in other words, she was up to her eyes in derivatives operations.
• Arthur Nadel, 76, a Hedge Fund manager in Sarasota, Florida, was reported by Bloomberg to have disappeared on 14th January. The report stated that clients were concerned that hundreds of millions of dollars may have been lost – i.e. that, with the Ponzi Scheme exposed, the manager had absconded with the money. However Nadel had telephoned his stepson and told him to go to his house, where he had left a note. Nadel ran Scoop Management Inc., which oversaw funds including Valhalla Investment Partners LP. (sic!). On 16th January, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported that Scoop Management Inc. may have ‘managed’ some $350 million of funds.
Sarasota police initiated an investigation on 16th January after receiving phone calls from 1:30pm in the afternoon concerning allegations about ‘hundreds of millions of dollars’ missing, according to a local police spokesman. The local newspaper described the note found by police at Nadel’s residence as ‘a suicide note’. With the drying-up of fresh sources of Ponzi funds to pay off earlier investors, the Ponzi scam had been exposed. With these fraudulent schemes, everything appears fine, perhaps for many years – the assumption being that fresh sources of finance will always be forthcoming, as investors are enticed by greed and their failure to adhere to the Prudent Man Rule [see General Glossary]. The possibility that fresh sources of finance might evaporate one day, is never considered, such is the parties’ capacity for self-deception. HOWEVER, on 27th January, Mr Nadel was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on charges of securities fraud.
• Patrick Rocca, 41, was reported by The Times, London, on 21st January 2009, to have been seen on 19th January wandering around outside his luxury Dublin home in his pyjamas. A little while later he shot himself in the head while his wife Anette was out on the school run. He died from a single gunshot at the family home in Holmeleigh, an exclusive residential enclave on the edge of Dublin’s Castleknock Gold and Country Club. The late Mr Rocca was believed to have more than e20 million in loans tied up with Anglo Irish Bank, which the Irish Government had just announced that it was nationalising. The death occurred on the day that a High Court Judge was picking through the débris of a vast pyramid scheme run by Breifne O’Brien: ANOTHER PONZI SCAM.

No SUCH THING AS FORMER MOSSAD AGENT: another reason why RAHMBO needs to be run out of OBAMA'S clown camp

Spanish police arrest six over massive '£420m London Stock Exchange fraud'
By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 2:25 PM on 28th January 2009
British authorities have teamed up with Spanish police to arrest six men in connection with an alleged multi-million pound fraud on the London stock market.
The five Spaniards and one Argentinian were detained in Spain as part of a long-running Serious Fraud Office investigation in relation to a company which was formerly listed on the AIM section of the London Stock Exchange.
One of the men is alleged to be a former member of Israel's Mossad.
A police official said today the scheme was to create a bogus company, list it on the London stock exchange, use false documents and rumour to inflate the share price, then sell shares the suspects owned in the firm, pocketing the profit.
Police did not name the company involved, but reports have named it as Langbar International (formerly Crown Corporation Ltd), a cash-rich shell company formerly run by Monte Carlo-based entrepreneur Mariusz Rybak - also known as the Baltic Barracuda.
Police said the fraud began in 2003. The investigation was launched in 2005 following the disclosure that Langbar may never have owned £365m it claimed to have stashed away in Dutch and Brazilian banks.
Much of the money dated back to a supposed cash injection from Bermuda-based Lambert Financial Investments before Langbar's 2003 flotation on London's junior AIM market.
Lambert is an investment firm that manages money on behalf of some 2,000 wealthy Jewish settlers in Latin America and Israel. Both Lambert and Langbar are incorporated in Bermuda.
In September 2005 it was reported that Langbar, whose share price was languishing at around 50p, had net cash assets of £300m or more. The report attracted a surge of investor interest, particularly on internet bulletin boards, from top names including Gartmore, the Universities Superannuation Fund, and Merrill Lynch.
But questions arose about the veracity of Langbar's stated assets. The SFO investigation began in November 2005 after Langbar issued a statement to the stock market announcing it could not 'establish the existence of, nor verify its entitlement to' around £370 million held in Dutch and Brazilian banks.
The brains of the operation may be a man named Abraham Hochman, formerly an agent of the Israeli Mossad, and Diego Magn Selva, who was implicated in the Argentine Trust case, Spanish newspaper El Pais claimed.
British investigators from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), with the help of Spanish authorities, carried out searches of properties in Spain last week, making the arrests on January 21.
The SFO said the ages of the arrested men ranged from 56 to 76.
When the SFO began its investigation in 2005, Langbar had already requested the suspension of its shares.
Later that year, the company announced a new board.
No-one from Langbar was available to comment today but a statement on the company's website reads: 'The present board of Langbar International Limited is determined to discover exactly what has transpired concerning company funds and to pursue their recovery.
'Our aim is to restore value for shareholders to the maximum that can be achieved.

A police official said today the scheme was to create a bogus company, list it on the London stock exchange, use false documents and rumour to inflate the share price, then sell shares the suspects owned in the firm, pocketing the profit.
Police did not name the company involved, but reports have named it as Langbar International (formerly Crown Corporation Ltd), a cash-rich shell company formerly run by Monte Carlo-based entrepreneur Mariusz Rybak - also known as the Baltic Barracuda.
Police said the fraud began in 2003. The investigation was launched in 2005 following the disclosure that Langbar may never have owned £365m it claimed to have stashed away in Dutch and Brazilian banks.
Much of the money dated back to a supposed cash injection from Bermuda-based Lambert Financial Investments before Langbar's 2003 flotation on London's junior AIM market.
Lambert is an investment firm that manages money on behalf of some 2,000 wealthy Jewish settlers in Latin America and Israel. Both Lambert and Langbar are incorporated in Bermuda.
In September 2005 it was reported that Langbar, whose share price was languishing at around 50p, had net cash assets of £300m or more. The report attracted a surge of investor interest, particularly on internet bulletin boards, from top names including Gartmore, the Universities Superannuation Fund, and Merrill Lynch.
But questions arose about the veracity of Langbar's stated assets. The SFO investigation began in November 2005 after Langbar issued a statement to the stock market announcing it could not 'establish the existence of, nor verify its entitlement to' around £370 million held in Dutch and Brazilian banks.
The brains of the operation may be a man named Abraham Hochman, formerly an agent of the Israeli Mossad, and Diego Magn Selva, who was implicated in the Argentine Trust case, Spanish newspaper El Pais claimed.
British investigators from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), with the help of Spanish authorities, carried out searches of properties in Spain last week, making the arrests on January 21.
The SFO said the ages of the arrested men ranged from 56 to 76.
When the SFO began its investigation in 2005, Langbar had already requested the suspension of its shares.
Later that year, the company announced a new board.
No-one from Langbar was available to comment today but a statement on the company's website reads: 'The present board of Langbar International Limited is determined to discover exactly what has transpired concerning company funds and to pursue their recovery.
'Our aim is to restore value for shareholders to the maximum that can be achieved.

Obama Order to Close Secret CIA Prisons Overseas Has a Big Loophole In It
Little-Noticed Exception in Executive Order Allows CIA to Keep Terror Suspects in 'Temporary' Detention Sites Abroad, Pending Future Prosecution in the U.S. or in Other Countries; Loophole Shows Obama Not Completely Reversing Bush Policy
President Obama has ordered the closure of the controversial detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (pictured above) within a year and other centers overseas operated by the Central Intelligence Agency. But a little-noticed provision in the president's executive order carves out an exception: It allows the agency to maintain "temporary" detention facilities overseas in the event of new terror suspects being captured and ultimately tried either in the United States or sent to other countries where they are wanted on terrorism charges.

By ELI LAKE
The Washington Times
President Obama's executive order closing so-called "black sites" operated by the Central Intelligence Agency contains a little-noticed exception that allows the spy agency to continue to operate temporary detention facilities abroad.
The provision illustrates that the president's order to shutter foreign-based prisons, known as black sites, is not airtight and that the CIA still has options if it wants to hold terrorism suspects for several days at a time.
Current and former U.S. officials, who spoke to The Washington Times on the condition that they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject, said such temporary facilities around the world will remain open, giving the Obama administration the opportunity to seize and hold suspected terrorists.
The detentions would be temporary. Suspects either would be brought later to the United States for trial or sent to other countries where they are wanted and can face trial.
The exception is evidence that the new administration, while announcing an end to many elements of the Bush "war on terror," is leaving itself wiggle room to continue some of its predecessor's practices regarding terrorist suspects.
ORDER MAKES DISTINCTION BETWEEN 'SAFE HOUSES' AND 'BLACK SITES'
According to the executive order, "The terms 'detention facilities' and 'detention facility' in section 4(a) of this order do not refer to facilities used only to hold people on a short-term, transitory basis."
Analysts inside and outside government say this refers to so-called "safe houses," which are buildings where operatives can go to protect themselves from pursuers or can hide people they have taken into custody.
"This executive order does not close down all operations. There are still facilities on a temporary basis, often called safe houses, for holding someone for a matter of days," an administration official said.
Ken Gude, the associate director of international rights and responsibilities at the Center for American Progress, said the temporary facilities operated by the CIA should not be confused with the Bush administration's black sites.
"My understanding is that these types of temporary facilities can be in no way described as a prison," Mr. Gude said. "They are temporary holding facilities that the CIA has used in the past for decades, ... often parts of exchange agreements with other foreign intelligence agencies."
"For example, we may have an agreement with the Pakistanis, where we agree to pick someone up and we need a place to hold them temporarily while we decide what is the next appropriate course of action," he said. "This is not like the so-called black site prisons that we heard about as part of the extraordinary rendition program."
KEEPING TEMPORARY SITES GIVES OBAMA FLEXIBILITY IN DEALING WITH TERROR SUSPECTS
Michael Kraft, a former senior adviser at the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the State Department, said the temporary facilities could be used for any number of reasons.
"A scenario might be, someone is picked up in Country X, and maybe for logistics reasons, we hold him somewhere else, while a plane with larger fuel tanks is prepared to take him to his final destination," said Kraft, who retired in 2004.
Duane Clarridge, who founded the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, said the temporary facilities may be used for interrogations.
"It seems to me that they will take down terrorist suspects, bring them to a safe house, which is acquired on a temporary basis and controlled by the CIA or the military, where they interrogate the suspect over a period of days before making a decision on future disposition," Clarridge said.
"We don't know what that is," he continued. "It could be a variety of things. It could be turn him over to the country of origin, or for standing trial in a third country, or release.
RENDITION OF TERROR SUSPECTS DATES BACK TO REAGAN YEARS
The practice of moving terrorist suspects abroad, called rendition, began during the Reagan administration and escalated under President Bill Clinton. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, the Bush administration began classifying terrorist suspects as "enemy combatants" and holding them indefinitely without formal charges or the protections afforded prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions.
The closure of black-site prisons by Obama was part of a series of orders issued last week that included closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and other measures to undo the previous administration's war on terrorism.
The president revoked all executive directives issued by the CIA between September 11, 2001 and the day of his inauguration on January 20 that have been used to justify harsh interrogation techniques, which critics have called torture.
Obama also revoked Executive Order 13440, which declares al-Qaida and Taliban fighters to be "enemy combatants" and therefore not protected by the Geneva Conventions.
THE NOTORIOUS RENDITION CASE OF MAHER ARAR
The CIA practiced rendition long before the 9/11 attacks and in some cases sent suspected terrorists to countries where human rights groups have claimed they were tortured.
The most notorious of those cases is that of Maher Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian. In September 2002, Arar was on a stopover at New York's Kennedy Airport en route back to Canada from a vacation in Tunisia when U.S. officials detained him, claiming he had links to al-Qaida, and deported him to his native Syria, even though he was carrying a Canadian passport.
When Arar returned to Canada more than a year later, he said he had been tortured during his incarceration in Syria and accused American officials of sending him to his native country knowing that Syrian officials practice torture.
Arar and his family, who live in Kamloops, British Columbia, are seeking compensation from the Canadian government for his abrupt deportation and imprisonment in Syria. A lawsuit by Arar against the U.S. government was dismissed on the grounds of U.S. government immunity.
The issue of rendition will be one of the policies studied by a Cabinet-level special task force on interrogation and transfer policies.
OFFICIALS SAY CIA ISN'T HOLDING ANYONE NOW
While the CIA operated special prisons overseas for high-value al-Qaida and Taliban detainees, the agency holds no such detainees in custody today, two U.S. officials said.
The last person in the CIA detention program was Muhammad Rahim, purported to be a driver for Mullah Muhammad Omar, the leader of the Taliban that governed Afghanistan from 1995 until it was overthrown in a U.S.-led invasion in December 2001, two months after the 9/11 attacks.
Rahim was transferred to the Guantanamo Bay prison on March 14 of last year and remains there today.
One of the two officials, when asked about the executive order Tuesday, said: "The wording seems to preserve the ability to capture terrorists. But long-term detention by the CIA is out."
ACLU DOESN'T LIKE LOOPHOLE
The loophole for safe houses worries the American Civil Liberties Union, which has pressed for the closing of Guantanamo Bay and the black sites.
"This is a place where what we all understood to be the CIA's secret prison system with prisons in places like Poland and Thailand is shut down here, and there is no future detention authority to operate those facilities," said Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel for the ACLU.
"But there is a provision on some kind of short-term detention authority, and our position is that the CIA should have no detention authority," Anders said. "If President Obama has taken the CIA out of the prison business, he should also take the CIA out of the short-term jailer business as well."

WASHINGTON —
During 40 years in politics, Gregory B. Craig has learned the art of the balancing act.
As a Harvard student in 1968, he was enthralled by Allard K. Lowenstein, the antiwar candidate who preached change from within. As a young foreign policy adviser to Senator Edward M. Kennedy, he showed sympathy to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, then tromped through hot, muddy jungles to document human rights horrors they committed.
As a hotshot Washington lawyer and friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton from Yale Law School, he defended Mr. Clinton against impeachment. But in the 2008 campaign, he dumped the Clintons for Barack Obama, who reminded him, friends say, of a time when politics was about ideas, not partisanship.
Now Mr. Craig’s balancing skills are being tested as never before. As the incoming White House counsel — Mr. Obama’s in-house lawyer — he is in the thick of the most contentious debates facing the new administration, from how to shut down the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to whether C.I.A. interrogators suspected of torture should be prosecuted.
It is a task that pits Candidate Obama’s promises to restore America’s moral standing against the stark reality of President Obama’s obligation to keep the nation safe. There is pressure from all sides: many liberals are urging the new administration to conduct a full accounting of the Bush administration’s policies and conduct on the interrogation and detention of terrorism suspects, among other issues. Yet Mr. Obama himself is signaling that he does not favor a full-scale look back.
Under Mr. Craig’s guidance, the Obama team has already signaled at least one step: an executive order to shut down Guantánamo, to be issued on the new president’s first full day at work.

NOTHING CHANGED...BUT OBAMA THE ANTI CHRIST gets credit for doing the right thing?
_________________________
But human rights advocates are pressing for more. Along with Eric H. Holder Jr., the nominee for attorney general, Mr. Craig met recently with a group of retired military leaders who presented a menu of options for them to consider. They include repealing a Bush executive order that authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct interrogations using harsh tactics that the military does not permit.
“We wrapped up by saying, ‘If you embark on a path in which you are criticized for being soft on terrorism, we’re here to tell you that we’ve got your back,’ ” said Vice Adm. Lee F. Gunn, a retired former Navy inspector general who attended the session. “I think they appreciated that.”
At 63, Mr. Craig fits a classic Washington prototype, the power lawyer. In a city consumed by power, power lawyers come in various stripes. The scandal lawyer extricates politicians from sticky situations. The celebrity lawyer represents big names. The talk-show lawyer sounds smooth on Sunday mornings. The lobbyist deal-maker lawyer uses political connections to open doors. The policy wonk lawyer advises behind the scenes.
Mr. Craig is a little bit of all of these. He has mastered the Washington revolving door, going from the private sector to government (in addition to his work for Mr. Kennedy, of Massachusetts, he was a top aide to Madeleine K. Albright when she was Mr. Clinton’s secretary of state) and back again.
His client roster has been studded with familiar names, like John W. Hinckley Jr., Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin; the writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn; and Mr. Kennedy, when the senator testified in his nephew’s rape trial. And he is facile with the news media; Robert Gibbs, Mr. Obama’s press secretary, says Mr. Craig is likely to play “some sort of public role” in the Obama White House, a departure from the Bush White House, where lawyers were kept under wraps.
Democrats, bruised by their bitter battles with President Bush’s counsel over testimony and documents, expect Mr. Craig to be more cooperative with Congress, although there are no guarantees. Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a longtime friend of Mr. Craig and his parents from their home state, Vermont, is hopeful.
“I told Barack Obama when he picked him: ‘This is great. You’re going to have a White House counsel I can talk to without having to subpoena,’ ” Mr. Leahy said.
Not everyone is so thrilled.
Tom Fitton, director of the conservative group Judicial Watch, faults Mr. Craig as representing a “rogues’ gallery” of foreign clients whose interests are at odds with those of the United States, among them a Panamanian soldier wanted in this country on murder charges. Cuban-Americans labeled him “Castro’s lawyer” for representing the father of Elián Gonzalez, the young boy who was spirited away from his Florida relatives by federal marshals and sent back to Cuba in an international custody dispute.
Yet in the time-honored way of Washington, Mr. Craig, who will quit his partnership in the upscale law firm Williams & Connolly for the $172,200-a-year White House job, has found a way to make friends with the other side. He counts Karl Rove, Mr. Bush’s political guru, as a friend; Mr. Rove said Mr. Craig would “serve the new president and the country with great integrity.”

OBAMA KNOWS THAT.
I KNOW THAT.
IF OBAMA DOES WHAT I TELL HIM TO DO...............HE CAN HAVE FACTION 3 COVERING HIS ASS, AND HE WILL HAVE TOTAL FREEDOM TO HIRE WHO HE WANTS.
OBAMA and HOLDER have been told, "...you cannot talk to Bean, and you cannot investigate his claims...".
____________________________________
From his earliest days in politics, Mr. Craig was more of a pragmatist than a bomb-thrower. In the Vietnam era, he shunned the radicalism of groups like the Weather Underground, said Lanny Davis, another Lowenstein protégé and Yale Law graduate who wound up in the Clinton inner circle.
“That was our shtick,” Mr. Davis said. “The biggest enemy was on the left — the people who were engaging in violence and making it impossible to win back the center of the country.”
Decades later, facing the most devastating crisis of his political career, Mr. Clinton summoned Mr. Craig to coordinate the legal, political and Congressional response to the accusations that the president had lied under oath about his affair with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Mr. Craig was said to be appalled by his old friend’s conduct but took the case nonetheless.
The poisonous politics of that experience left Mr. Craig deeply disillusioned, friends said, and ultimately pushed him into the Obama camp.
But Clinton loyalists accuse Mr. Craig of some poisonous politics of his own during the Democratic primary season last year.
Turning his powers of persuasion against Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Craig issued a blistering foreign policy critique of the former first lady that began, “When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim.”
Clinton stalwarts were stunned. “Those of us supporting Hillary were taken aback by the sharpness of his tone, let me put it that way,” said Harold Ickes, who counts Mr. Craig and the Clintons as friends. “Quite frankly, I was.”
Whether Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Craig have patched things up, now that she is set to become secretary of state, is unclear. Mr. Ickes said the two had “exchanged pleasantries” but nothing more.
There is no such awkwardness with Mr. Obama. Over the course of the long and grueling campaign, Mr. Craig worked his way deep into the Obama inner circle, playing the role of legal expert, foreign policy adviser and stand-in for the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, during mock presidential debates.
Looking ahead, colleagues expect Mr. Craig to focus intensely on the review of Bush military interrogation policies, especially on the difficult issue of how to proceed with the Guantánamo shutdown.
Mr. Davis, Mr. Craig’s old friend from his Lowenstein days, expects the new White House counsel to approach the task as a “pragmatic idealist.”

From his earliest days in politics, Mr. Craig was more of a pragmatist than a bomb-thrower. In the Vietnam era, he shunned the radicalism of groups like the Weather Underground, said Lanny Davis, another Lowenstein protégé and Yale Law graduate who wound up in the Clinton inner circle.
“That was our shtick,” Mr. Davis said. “The biggest enemy was on the left — the people who were engaging in violence and making it impossible to win back the center of the country.”
Decades later, facing the most devastating crisis of his political career, Mr. Clinton summoned Mr. Craig to coordinate the legal, political and Congressional response to the accusations that the president had lied under oath about his affair with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Mr. Craig was said to be appalled by his old friend’s conduct but took the case nonetheless.
The poisonous politics of that experience left Mr. Craig deeply disillusioned, friends said, and ultimately pushed him into the Obama camp.
But Clinton loyalists accuse Mr. Craig of some poisonous politics of his own during the Democratic primary season last year.
Turning his powers of persuasion against Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Craig issued a blistering foreign policy critique of the former first lady that began, “When your entire campaign is based upon a claim of experience, it is important that you have evidence to support that claim.”
Clinton stalwarts were stunned. “Those of us supporting Hillary were taken aback by the sharpness of his tone, let me put it that way,” said Harold Ickes, who counts Mr. Craig and the Clintons as friends. “Quite frankly, I was.”
Whether Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Craig have patched things up, now that she is set to become secretary of state, is unclear. Mr. Ickes said the two had “exchanged pleasantries” but nothing more.
There is no such awkwardness with Mr. Obama. Over the course of the long and grueling campaign, Mr. Craig worked his way deep into the Obama inner circle, playing the role of legal expert, foreign policy adviser and stand-in for the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, during mock presidential debates.
Looking ahead, colleagues expect Mr. Craig to focus intensely on the review of Bush military interrogation policies, especially on the difficult issue of how to proceed with the Guantánamo shutdown.
Mr. Davis, Mr. Craig’s old friend from his Lowenstein days, expects the new White House counsel to approach the task as a “pragmatic idealist.”
The balancing act begins Tuesday

FBI saw mortgage fraud early
By PAUL SHUKOVSKY
P-I REPORTER
The FBI was aware for years of "pervasive and growing" fraud in the mortgage industry that eventually contributed to America's financial meltdown, but did not take definitive action to stop it.
"It is clear that we had good intelligence on the mortgage-fraud schemes, the corrupt attorneys, the corrupt appraisers, the insider schemes," said a recently retired, high FBI official. Another retired top FBI official confirmed that such intelligence went back to 2002.
The problem, according to the two FBI retirees and several other current and former bureau colleagues, is that the bureau was stretched so thin that no one noticed when those lenders began packaging bad mortgages into bad securities.

I dispute that statement that implies that THE FUCKHEAD LYING COCKSUCKERS AT THE FBI NEEDS MORE MONEY AND MORE POWER.
FBI had plenty of time to run and orchestrate PR PSY OP BULLSHIT ARRESTS on numerous framed and entrapped chuckleheads: Lodi, Calif terrorist bust of an illiterate dishwasher?...MIAMI 7 retried for 3rd time?....etc.
FBI HAD ALOT OF TIME TO "ignore RIGHT WING SECRET POLICE TERRORISM" committed against me, my family, my attorneys, any brief known associate, and all my white collar professional friends who all got fired at their job sites based the slimest pretext (mere association with THOMAS S. BEAN, resulted in CARREER DESTRUCTION BY FBI SLANDERING DUMBFUCKS who...to this day...STILL LOOK TO DRUG DEALER, MURDERER, AND GUTLESS SNIVELING PUNK ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III, for leadership?).
THE FBI KNOWS THE WAR ON TERRORISM is all bullshit...used as cover for the new and more intrusive FBI COINTELPRO on anybody for any reason for any length of time?
FBI WORKED WITH DOD CIFA UNIT and BLACKWATER INC to murder and maim and torture any lawyer I might know and might use to hide my evidence OF THE FBI'S CRIMES--TITLE III FELONIES...CONSPIRACIES TO COMMIT PATRIOT ACT CRIMES...CONSPIRACIES TO TAMPER WITH COOPERATING WITNESSES who actually STUCK THEIR FUCKING NECK OUT TO STOP THE FBI FROM BLOWING UP THE MURRAY BUILDING WITH THE SOUTH DAKOTA DETENATORS: See, TRENTADUE DEPOSITION OF TERRY NICHOLS naming FBI HANDLER RUNNING MCVEIGH AS A MK ULTRA PATSY.
ENOUGH with the FBI'S "FAILURE IS SUCCESS" SPIN...in which...FAILURE IS REWARDED WITH MORE AGENTS, MORE POWER, NO OVERSIGHT, AND MORE MONEY so Bob and his fuckhead pussies can STEAL MORE TAX PAYERS MONEY (FBI Case Tracking Software Swindle moved money into MUELLER'S OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT...Dems had no interest in the bank records, video and expert witnesses who have signed affadavits????????).

"We knew that the mortgage-brokerage industry was corrupt," the first of the retired FBI officials told the Seattle P-I. "Where we would have gotten a sense of what was really going on was the point where the mortgage was sold knowing that it was a piece of dung and it would be turned into a security. But the agents with the expertise had been diverted to counterterrorism."
The FBI not only lacked the resources, but also never got the tips it needed from the banking regulatory agencies. The Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also failed to detect the securities issue, said the first retired FBI official.
"These are very resource-intense cases that take a lot of work by very skilled people," said John Falvey Jr., a former federal prosecutor who currently does white-collar criminal defense work in Boston.

And Falvey said that financial executives who deliberately chose not to learn the facts about dicey mortgage-lending practices in their companies -- who chose to be "willfully blind" to such practices and the subsequent securitization of those mortgages -- could be vulnerable to prosecution for securities fraud.
Both retired FBI officials asserted that the Bush administration was thoroughly briefed on the mortgage fraud crisis and its potential to cascade out of control with devastating financial consequences, but made the decision not to give back to the FBI the agents it needed to address the problem. After the terrorist attacks of 2001, about 2,400 agents were reassigned to counterterrorism duties.
This mass reassignment was first chronicled by the Seattle P-I in the Terrorism Tradeoff, a series of investigative reports beginning in 2007 and stretching into 2008. That administration policy, the P-I reported, resulted in a dramatic plunge in FBI criminal investigations and referrals for prosecution. And recent data from Syracuse University researchers shows the problem has worsened.
FBI Assistant Director Ken Kaiser -- in a statement - took issue last week with any implication "that if the FBI had made more arrests for mortgage fraud, the crisis could have been averted. To even suggest that is a cry for a lesson in both civics and basic economics.
"It is not a fair or realistic assessment."
The FBI is now making one of its largest hiring pushes ever. The bureau is seeking 850 new agents this year, some to fill vacancies that had been allowed to languish for years even as the administration blocked efforts to reinforce the FBI's crime squads.
Still, a P-I analysis of information provided by the FBI shows that 850 new agents doesn't come close to restoring the bureau's crime squads. It would take more than double the number of agents and at least $400 million of new funding to bring the bureau's corps of crime-fighters back to pre- 9/11 levels.
But Deputy Director Steve McMillin of the Bush White House's Office of Management and Budget told the P-I last year that even partially restoring the FBI crime-fighting capabilities was not a priority.
"The assumption that how it was pre- 9/11 is how it ought to be for all time is not the correct premise," he said.
The first retired FBI official said: "We made a direct pitch (for more agents) to the OMB even though we weren't supposed to and they said no." Instead, "we were looking at reductions, not additions."
Further complicating efforts to detect and prosecute mortgage fraud, banks and other mortgage lenders were making so much money from the constant churn of transactions and the continually escalating price of homes that the fraud that did arise simply didn't cost the industry enough money to raise their concerns.
"You had victim banks that would not acknowledge that they were victims," said the first retired FBI official. " 'We're not out any money,' they would say. Nothing has been foreclosed. The banks weren't reporting, the regulators weren't regulating and the FBI was concentrating on external mortgage fraud as opposed to the underlying internal problem."
And the administration's attention was turned to terrorism.
When FBI Director Robert Mueller was briefed on mortgage fraud, "his eyes would glaze over," the first retired FBI official said. "It was not something that he would consider a high priority. It was not on his radar screen."
"We knew we had a broader problem, but you've got a Justice Department and the administration saying you need to concentrate on domestic intelligence and counterterrorism," the first official said. "It wasn't very popular to ask for resources for anything. It was dead on arrival."
The second FBI official said: "Mueller was caught in a box.

"Mueller actually circumvented the Justice Department and the OMB to get resources. But he was shut down" by the administration.
Public statements by one high FBI executive shows that the bureau was well aware of the potentially devastating impact of rampant mortgage fraud at least five years ago. The executive ominously foretold the crisis in testimony before Congress.
"Based on various industry reports and FBI analysis, mortgage fraud is pervasive and growing," Chris Swecker, then assistant director of the criminal investigation division, said in October 2004 before the House subcommittee on housing and community opportunity.
Then Swecker made a chillingly accurate prediction of the coming mortgage meltdown and financial collapse:
"The potential impact of mortgage fraud on financial institutions in the stock market is clear. If fraudulent practices become systemic within the mortgage industry and mortgage fraud is allowed to become unrestrained, it will ultimately place financial institutions at risk and have adverse effects on the stock market."
Swecker went on to describe the scenario that ultimately wrecked financial havoc around the world: "Often mortgage loans sold in secondary markets are used by financial institutions as collateral for other investments. ... When loans sold in the secondary market default and have fraudulent or material misrepresentation ... these loans become a nonperforming asset, and in extreme fraud cases, the mortgage-backed security is worthless. Mortgage fraud losses adversely affect loan-loss reserves, profits, liquidity levels and capitalization ratios, ultimately affecting the soundness of the financial institution itself."
Swecker declined recently to comment, other than to say, "My testimony in 2004 speaks for itself."
But Kaiser, who currently occupies Swecker's old post, warned against misinterpreting the testimony.
"In context, Assistant Director Chris Swecker meant he believed the FBI could stay focused on mortgage fraud to prevent fraud from becoming the major driver that would cause a collapse of credit in the housing market," Kaiser said in comments e-mailed to the P-I earlier this month. "We believe by a good measure, the bureau did that.
"The FBI's Criminal Division has arrested 1,000 suspects and targeted 180 criminal enterprises since 2004," Kaiser said. "We targeted those lenders and buyers involved in multiple frauds or cases where the profits went to drug crews, gangs or organized crime. More investigations are ongoing. But the FBI is a law enforcement and intelligence agency, we are not banking regulators."
It wasn't just the FBI's white-collar crime program that lacked the resources and political will to do its job.
The Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency "and the bank regulators are really the first line of defense," the first official said. "The investigative agencies (like the FBI) are the second line of defense. We all caught the mortgage fraud aspect. But none of us caught the corporate fraud aspect."
But even if the regulatory agencies had come to the FBI with the tips, the resources necessary to pull off such an inquiry simply did not exist.
"There were two hurdles," said the second retired FBI official, "not enough agents working in the criminal area and not enough (federal prosecutors) to prosecute these complex cases. You have to have investigators to follow the money, you have to follow the decision making to take it up to the corporate suites. And we didn't have it."
The FBI had every certified public accountant in the bureau working on big fraud cases such as Enron and HealthSouth, the first retired FBI official said. "The ones that weren't working (those cases) went to terrorist financing."
The SEC, said the official, did not show an interest in working with the FBI on the problem, either. And it didn't begin responding to pervasive financial corruption until after the economy collapsed.
"The regulators are the ones embedded in the banks," the first retired FBI official said. "They would be able to see it if they were looking. They were the first line of defense in detecting it."
SEC officials declined to comment.
Thrift office spokesman William Ruberry said, "The OTS has a robust enforcement program to investigate and take appropriate action against corruption and fraud uncovered by our examiners, reported by consumers or conveyed by other sources."
Comptroller's office spokesman Kevin Mukri said only that "the OCC has always had and continues to have a professional and cooperative working relationship with all law enforcement agencies."
Nevertheless, high FBI and Bush administration officials knew a potentially devastating problem was on the horizon and failed to stop it.

GOP CONVENTION TRIAL
FBI informant says he tried to stop Austinite from using explosives
Government's star witness testifies against Austinite accused of possessing Molotov cocktails at Republican convention.
By David Hanners
ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS — A radical-turned-FBI-informant testified Wednesday that he tried to talk an Austinite out of using explosive devices against police and law enforcement officials at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., in September.
Brandon Darby is the government's star witness against David Guy McKay, 23, who is on trial in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis. McKay is accused of making and possessing eight Molotov cocktails during the convention.
McKay was a member of a loose-knit group of activists based in Austin; Darby infiltrated the group at the FBI's request.
Defense attorney Jeffrey DeGree said McKay was entrapped and built the firebombs only because he was under the influence of the older and more-experienced Darby, who had gained a national reputation in activist circles for seeking relief money for victims of Hurricane Katrina from the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Ch?vez.
McKay is charged with making and possessing an unregistered firearm, which is how federal law classifies a Molotov cocktail, and with possessing destructive devices that lacked serial numbers.
Darby, 32, said during testimony that he had decided things had gone too far when he learned that McKay and another Austinite, Bradley Neil Crowder, had built Molotov cocktails and intended to use them.
"I tried to talk him out of doing it," Darby said. "I did everything short of saying, 'I'm with the FBI, and you're going to jail.'"
Hours after that conversation, St. Paul police raided the home where McKay had been staying. In the basement, they found eight Molotov cocktails.
Darby said he traveled to St. Paul with the Austin activists and joined in a street protest in which they overturned trash bins and dropped sandbags and signs off a highway overpass.
"What were they trying to prove?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Paulsen asked.
"I don't know what they were trying to prove," Darby said.
The government alleges that McKay and Crowder built riot shields out of highway safety barrels they had stolen and hauled the shields to Minnesota in a trailer hitched to a van.
Darby had told the FBI about the shields, and after the group arrived in St. Paul, city police eventually found the trailer and seized the shields.
The government alleges that McKay and Crowder were angered by the seizure and decided to exact revenge on law enforcement officials with Molotov cocktails.
Some members of the Austin group went to a Wal-Mart to buy components for the firebombs, the government alleges.
Darby wasn't on the shopping trip, but when he heard about it, he said he contacted the FBI. Agents asked him to wear a "wire," which he hadn't done before.
Earlier Tuesday, an FBI agent testified that although agents listened in on the conversation between McKay and Darby, he was the only one who took notes and that the conversation wasn't recorded.
During that conversation, McKay is accused of talking about using the Molotov cocktails on some law enforcement cars parked in a lot not far from the apartment where some members of the Austin group had been staying. That did not happen, however.
Crowder has pleaded guilty to one count of possessing an unregistered firearm; no sentencing date has been set. DeGree will continue to cross-examine Darby this morning.

If fraudulent practices become systemic within the mortgage industry and mortgage fraud is allowed to become unrestrained, it will ultimately place financial institutions at risk and have adverse effects on the stock market."
Swecker went on to describe the scenario that ultimately wrecked financial havoc around the world: "Often mortgage loans sold in secondary markets are used by financial institutions as collateral for other investments. ... When loans sold in the secondary market default and have fraudulent or material misrepresentation ... these loans become a nonperforming asset, and in extreme fraud cases, the mortgage-backed security is worthless. Mortgage fraud losses adversely affect loan-loss reserves, profits, liquidity levels and capitalization ratios, ultimately affecting the soundness of the financial institution itself."
Swecker declined recently to comment, other than to say, "My testimony in 2004 speaks for itself."
But Kaiser, who currently occupies Swecker's old post, warned against misinterpreting the testimony.
"In context, Assistant Director Chris Swecker meant he believed the FBI could stay focused on mortgage fraud to prevent fraud from becoming the major driver that would cause a collapse of credit in the housing market," Kaiser said in comments e-mailed to the P-I earlier this month. "We believe by a good measure, the bureau did that.
"The FBI's Criminal Division has arrested 1,000 suspects and targeted 180 criminal enterprises since 2004," Kaiser said. "We targeted those lenders and buyers involved in multiple frauds or cases where the profits went to drug crews, gangs or organized crime. More investigations are ongoing. But the FBI is a law enforcement and intelligence agency, we are not banking regulators."
It wasn't just the FBI's white-collar crime program that lacked the resources and political will to do its job.
The Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency "and the bank regulators are really the first line of defense," the first official said. "The investigative agencies (like the FBI) are the second line of defense. We all caught the mortgage fraud aspect. But none of us caught the corporate fraud aspect."
But even if the regulatory agencies had come to the FBI with the tips, the resources necessary to pull off such an inquiry simply did not exist.
"There were two hurdles," said the second retired FBI official, "not enough agents working in the criminal area and not enough (federal prosecutors) to prosecute these complex cases. You have to have investigators to follow the money, you have to follow the decision making to take it up to the corporate suites. And we didn't have it."
The FBI had every certified public accountant in the bureau working on big fraud cases such as Enron and HealthSouth, the first retired FBI official said. "The ones that weren't working (those cases) went to terrorist financing."
The SEC, said the official, did not show an interest in working with the FBI on the problem, either. And it didn't begin responding to pervasive financial corruption until after the economy collapsed.
"The regulators are the ones embedded in the banks," the first retired FBI official said. "They would be able to see it if they were looking. They were the first line of defense in detecting it."
SEC officials declined to comment.
Thrift office spokesman William Ruberry said, "The OTS has a robust enforcement program to investigate and take appropriate action against corruption and fraud uncovered by our examiners, reported by consumers or conveyed by other sources."
Comptroller's office spokesman Kevin Mukri said only that "the OCC has always had and continues to have a professional and cooperative working relationship with all law enforcement agencies."
Nevertheless, high FBI and Bush administration officials knew a potentially devastating problem was on the horizon and failed to stop it.

GOP CONVENTION TRIAL
FBI informant says he tried to stop Austinite from using explosives
Government's star witness testifies against Austinite accused of possessing Molotov cocktails at Republican convention.
By David Hanners
ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS — A radical-turned-FBI-informant testified Wednesday that he tried to talk an Austinite out of using explosive devices against police and law enforcement officials at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., in September.
Brandon Darby is the government's star witness against David Guy McKay, 23, who is on trial in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis. McKay is accused of making and possessing eight Molotov cocktails during the convention.
McKay was a member of a loose-knit group of activists based in Austin; Darby infiltrated the group at the FBI's request.
Defense attorney Jeffrey DeGree said McKay was entrapped and built the firebombs only because he was under the influence of the older and more-experienced Darby, who had gained a national reputation in activist circles for seeking relief money for victims of Hurricane Katrina from the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Ch?vez.
McKay is charged with making and possessing an unregistered firearm, which is how federal law classifies a Molotov cocktail, and with possessing destructive devices that lacked serial numbers.
Darby, 32, said during testimony that he had decided things had gone too far when he learned that McKay and another Austinite, Bradley Neil Crowder, had built Molotov cocktails and intended to use them.
"I tried to talk him out of doing it," Darby said. "I did everything short of saying, 'I'm with the FBI, and you're going to jail.'"
Hours after that conversation, St. Paul police raided the home where McKay had been staying. In the basement, they found eight Molotov cocktails.
Darby said he traveled to St. Paul with the Austin activists and joined in a street protest in which they overturned trash bins and dropped sandbags and signs off a highway overpass.
"What were they trying to prove?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Paulsen asked.
"I don't know what they were trying to prove," Darby said.
The government alleges that McKay and Crowder built riot shields out of highway safety barrels they had stolen and hauled the shields to Minnesota in a trailer hitched to a van.
Darby had told the FBI about the shields, and after the group arrived in St. Paul, city police eventually found the trailer and seized the shields.
The government alleges that McKay and Crowder were angered by the seizure and decided to exact revenge on law enforcement officials with Molotov cocktails.
Some members of the Austin group went to a Wal-Mart to buy components for the firebombs, the government alleges.
Darby wasn't on the shopping trip, but when he heard about it, he said he contacted the FBI. Agents asked him to wear a "wire," which he hadn't done before.
Earlier Tuesday, an FBI agent testified that although agents listened in on the conversation between McKay and Darby, he was the only one who took notes and that the conversation wasn't recorded.
During that conversation, McKay is accused of talking about using the Molotov cocktails on some law enforcement cars parked in a lot not far from the apartment where some members of the Austin group had been staying. That did not happen, however.
Crowder has pleaded guilty to one count of possessing an unregistered firearm; no sentencing date has been set. DeGree will continue to cross-examine Darby this morning.

latest STALKING INCIDENT by BOB MUELLER AT FBI HQ
1)Yesterday, I threw my trash into a trash can at the QUARTZITE, ARIZONA PUBLIC LIBRARY. Then...12 hours later, my car was broken into, and...the trash bag shows up in my car?
STALKING BY FBI CONTRACTORS?
THIS is the stupidity of the FBI PUNK PUKE GUTLESS DRUG DEALER named ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III.
Of course...FBI AGENTS DON'T INVESTIGATE ANY FACTS FROM MY COMPLAINT, and never did make an arrest for any felony crime committed by their contractors.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THE FBI HQ always "protects mercenaries" while also hiding behind MUELLER'S PUSSIFIED FAGGOT PUNK PROTOCOL used to create PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY since the FBI HARASSMENT WAS FRONTED BEHIND A CORPORATE FRONT?
BOB MUELLER has never once...been grilled by CONYERS, LEAHY, OR ANY US ATTORNEY who actually swear in witnesses???????????????????
2) The FOOT AND VEHICLE SURVEILLANCE CONTRACTORS (working and protected by FBI DIRECTOR BOB MUELLER)...followed me using the GPS TRACKING DEVICE (with audio capability) that MUELLER AND FBI HAS USED FOR 22 YEARS to facilitate their ongoing, never ending CONSPIRACY TO TAMPER WITH A COOPERATING WITNESS who can "put the FBI with the South Dakota detenators" that DENVER US MARSHALL'S INFORMANT CARY GAGEN saw with the IRAQIS who also had a MURRAY BUILDING SCHEMATIC (to facilitate cutting charges on the support pillors).
NICHOLS is ready to "name the FBI punk running McVeigh" as the OK CITY BOMB PATSIES.
SEE, TRENTADUE DEPOSITIONS...that HOLDER KNOWS ABOUT?
3) THE WARRANT REQUIREMENT FOR THE GPS IN MY VEHICLE...created a problem for lying little murderer STEVEN PLUTA at Sioux Falls, SD, FBI (TIP FOR HOLDER AND OBAMA: SPECIAL AGENT PLUTA KNOWS ABOUT WELLSTONE MURDER AND FBI COMPLICITY WITH PRIOR KNOWLEDGE USED TO ILLEGALLY STEAL THE FLIGHT LOGS AT DULUTH, MN, AIRPORT WHERE PLUTA AND OTHERS LANDED shortly after WELLSTONE'S PLANE WAS DOWN).
PLUTA then "again harassed my father, DR DAVID W. BEAN" and manipulated Dr Bean into "lying to me" to get me "to sign over title of my car" to my father? FBI THEN BACKDATED THE TITLE TRANSFER WHILE AGAIN...setting the stage for future PERJURY and BRADY VIOLATIONS???????????????????????????????????????????
MY FATHER TOLD ME, I WOULD BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SD LAWS IF I DID NOT GET INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE, and the only way I could get insurance is "if he retained title to my own vehicle".
SO MUELLER used a threat of a future arrest (No INsurance) to get title of my vehicle in The FBI Snitch's name? THEN FBI AND SD US ATTORNEYS WORKING WITH MINNEHAHA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DAVE NELSON (investigated for conspiring to steal 2.3 million dollars with Mayor Dave Munson...money laundered into HOPE MATCHAN'S JUDICIAL CAMPAIGN, MONEY LAUNDERED INTO MAYOR MUNSON'S CAMPAIGN) coerced and threatened my father with a "false arrest" and "malicious prosecution" unless MY FATHER SIGNED A WAIVER OF HIS RIGHTS ALLOWING WARRANTLESS BUGGING AND GPS TRACKING OF WHAT WAS MY VEHICLE?
SIOUX FALLS FBI SPECIAL AGENT STEVEN PLUTA also "backdated the title transfer with my signature on it" so that he "could attempt to use illegally obtained info" from the GPS and Bug covering a 22 year harassment campaign of a cooperating witness who contacted law enforcement about:
----SIOUX FALLS PD, SD AG, SD DCI, SF FBI, SD US ATTY all colluding in a RICO FELONY CONSPIRACY TO EXTORT PAYOFFS FROM LOCAL PIMPS AND MAFIA CONNECTED BOOKIES;
----SIOUX FALLS PD, MINN.CTY SHERIFFS, MC STATES ATTORNEY all colluded to "OBSTRUCT JUSTICE" AND HIDE BRADY MATERIAL IN EX PARTE WARRANT APPLICATION...when the south dakota cops all "colluded to PHONE IN TERRORISTIC THREATS TO THE UNIV OF SOUTH DAKOTA" USING DAN MEIER'S SIGINT from the illegaly wiretap placed on my father's home.
This was all part of FBI HQ'S OPERATION SLAMMER--MIND CONTROL PROGRAM used to create "school shooters" as part of their psy op ON america.
This "selection of an OPERATION SLAMMER SCAPEGOAT" was facilitated by a 1986 illegal wiretap by NSA who delivered the SIGINT to VERMILLION, PD.
Thus...the cops had illegally obtained info to "rationalize the NO BID FRONT LOADED SURVEILLANCE CONTRACTS" that moved millions of dollars into the South Dakota Police Mafia's greedy little paws.
PAYOFFS TO FBI, US ATTY, SD AG, SD DCI, MCSD, MCSA, SFPD were all made by a retired cop punk named PANKRANTZ who worked with Dan Meier to "use the wiretap info" without a warrant. These guys worked with the Sherrif Department to "call in bomb threats" in a failed attempt at frameing me.
Then the suspicion was used in ex parte wiretap applications.
DAVE NELSON has never been arrested or disbarred?
4) When SD US ATTORNEY MICHELLE TAPKEN looked into this with a Fed Grand Jury...she also tripped over the FBI'S CONSPIRACY TO BLOW UP THE CHILDREN AT THE MURRAY BUILDING USING THE DETENATORS AND SCHEMATIC seen by ALLAN DOERING (local electronic engineer working at the CANISTOTA, SD, assembly plant).
These detenators were later stolen by MCVEIGH AND NICHOLS (The Trentadue deposition now seeks NICHOLS STATEMENTS ON ALL THIS, including the bogus post hoc FBI FRAMEUP ATTEMPT WHEN FBI STOLE A BOX FROM MY FATHER'S HOME...AND PLANTED IT IN NICHOLS KANSAS HOME WITH DETENATORS. THE SOURCE IS...FBI SNITCH AND MAFIA HITMAN GREG SCARPA JR????????).
TAPKEN'S GRAND JURY ALSO LOOKED AT CIA CONTRACTOR ROBERT DALE LILLY using a pin hole spy camera in my home? NO ARREST OR COMMENT FROM HOLDER, MUELLER, OR OBAMA on arrests of the CIA TORTURERS USING SPY CAMERAS IN AN FBI SUSPECT'S HOME?
CIA--NSA TSP did the same to FBI COERCED AND COOPERATING WITNESS DR MARK GORDON whose brother was murdered by DOD CIFA UNIT BECAUSE THE FBI HQ did not want a DASCHLE SPONSORED CONGRESSIONAL HEARING INTO THE CANADIAN WARRANT FOR FBI AGENT TERRY NELSON'S DRUG PIPELINE IN MONTANA.
FBI THEN HELPED MURDER RICH GORDON, Daschle's ex chief of staff.
FBI ALSO destroyed, stalked, assaulted, and interstate stalked DR GORDON after SLANDERING AND DEFAMING GORDON AT HIS JOB SITE. FBI DID THE SAME TO MY SISTER, AND MY FATHER.
THAT'S WHY BOB MUELLER has made a very personal vendetta against me, my family, South Dakota Democrats, and my white collar professional friends (all of whom were fired after FBI DEFAMED THEM AT THEIR JOB SITE).
BOB put a contract out on me.
Bob has stated that "...get Bean dirty, if you cannot do it legally...Bean cannot testify or we are sunk...".
Bob has also...tried other bogus frameups including the bogus AMARILLO BANK LETTER THREATS using the info from a pool hall owner in PECOS, TEXAS, who knew "...I had briefly thought about visiting PALO DURO CANYON near Amarillo...".
THE FBI KNOWS...I NEVER WENT TO AMARILLO, TEXAS. I WENT TO ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO instead?
So...again...the FBI USES FALSE FLAG TERRORISM TO HARASS AMERICA AND TAMPER WITH WITNESSES.
THESE ARE ALL GOOD REASONS FOR OBAMA TO FIRE MUELLER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
STALKING BY FBI CONTRACTORS?

Names emerge in Synagro allegations
Kwame Kilpatrick, his father, Monica Conyers among 8 cited in records
BY DAVID ASHENFELTER, M.L. ELRICK, JOE SWICKARD and JIM SCHAEFER • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS •
January 27, 2009
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father, Bernard Kilpatrick, and City Council President Monica Conyers are the major figures cited in a sludge-hauling executive's account of greed and bribery in the Synagro scandal, sources confirmed Tuesday to the Free Press. The three have not been charged with wrongdoing in the case.
Their names -- and others -- emerged with additional details about the government's investigation into city corruption.
The Free Press has learned that James Rosendall, the former Synagro Technologies vice president who pleaded guilty to bribery Monday, has been questioned about his contacts with other executives at Houston-based Synagro.
FBI agents recorded one Synagro official on a phone call with Rosendall discussing Rosendall's efforts to win the $1.2-billion contract in Detroit, one source said, adding that executive has since been suspended by Synagro.
Rosendall, 44, of Grand Rapids is the government's star witness in the Synagro probe and has provided the FBI with little, if any, direct evidence that cash was funneled to Kwame Kilpatrick, according to sources familiar with the case.
One source also said that Kilpatrick's jailed former chief of staff and lover, Christine Beatty, does not appear to be a target of the Synagro probe.
Other figures named
In addition to the Kilpatricks and Monica Conyers, the Free Press has identified five other people who were cited -- but not named -- in Rosendall's plea records Monday.
Sources identified those five as onetime mayoral aides Michael Tardif and Derrick Miller; Detroit developer and Synagro consultant Rayford Jackson; Akunna Olumba, a business associate and former girlfriend of Bernard Kilpatrick, and former Conyers aide Sam Riddle.
They all declined to comment or could not be reached Tuesday.
Acting U.S. Attorney Terrence Berg wouldn't confirm any identities Tuesday, repeating his view that it's improper to link people to possible crimes if they have not been charged.

MADOFF'S END GAME secret strategy: the KIKES ARE ASKING FOR A BAILOUT ...the plan...no?
http://www.rense.com/general84/madoff.htm
The Madoff Double Bluff
By Paul (aka - Muhammad Rafeeq)
12-19-8
At first sight it was extremely refreshing. A white-collar financial crook raising his hands and pleading guilty to his financial crime....
So a truly heart-warming confession. And it was apparently made to his 2 sons, both of whom who worked for the fund and who had absolutely no idea that this fraud was being perpetrated, until such time as this astounding confession.
But then I started to look more closely at the mix of investors who have lost money. About half of them are professional investing institutions. Look at this quote from the UK's Daily Mail newspaper (online) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1096228/Lloyds-London-
braced-claims-Madoff-meltdown-makes-directors-targets-lawsuits.html)
"Full details of the exact losses are yet to emerge.
Hedge funds and banks have so far admitted to having around £16billion with Madoff - only half of the total that is reckoned to have been lost.
Some of the biggest casualties are Swiss private banks, which have taken hits amounting to about £2.5billion.
Spanish bank Santander had £2.1billion of client money with Madoff. HSBC has admitted to lending about £600million to funds who wanted to use debt to gear up their positions with Madoff.
RAB capital, the hedge fund that lost huge sums on investing in Northern Rock, has revealed that it is exposed to Madoff to the tune of around £6million."
Now the confession does not look right at all.
... Yet Madoff would have us believe that he managed to convince professional investment companies to put their funds with him without any due diligence being performed.
This is clearly nonsense.
...If someone approaches the HSBC credit risk team, for instance, with a view to making a loan or investing a sum as large as £600m to what is ultimately a single institution (therefore a single counterparty credit exposure) a significant number hoops would have to be jumped through. Firstly there is the credit officer competence limit, which is the maximum amount that a single credit officer may be allowed to authorise.
More than his/her limit must be referred up the credit approval food chain. In an institution like HSBC or Santander etc, £600bn or US$1bn will have been referred to the very top of the food chain, the banks' credit committees at the board level. This is an enormous sum and no lackey is going to be able to approve this by themselves, ever.
When the credit committee are called together to review an application, everything is ready prepared for them, so they can cut to the chase . The lower levels of the credit approval process will have prepared a summary of all the application documentation, included in the meeting bundle, with the strengths, weaknesses, and other important credit risk points.
This application will usually contain a set of audited accounts going back a minimum of 3 years and most likely 5 years.
There will be a full credit breakdown of the investment profile of the business, Madoff's hedge fund, looking at how the fund obtains its returns; investment assets and investment methodology.
After the committee is satisfied that all the issues and concerns have been addressed they will vote on the approval or otherwise.
So there is no way that Madoff could have been pulling a scam. It would have stood out as clear as day to professional financial analysts, whose only job in life is to examine the management of companies and their reports and accounts, to make sure that all is in order. Its their job, its what they do. They are the world experts in spotting anomalies. The idea that all these professionals in all these companies were all duped is absolute nonsense. It is highly improbable that one such evaluation process could have been fooled, but all of them, never. A Ponzi scheme is easy to spot when you have the audited accounts and the full range of investment assets and investment metodologies employed.
Also, this scam avoided the attention of all the funds employees; accountants, traders, auditors and the US regulators, all of whom are also financial professionals. This again is absolute nonsense.
Any company that I have ever worked for would have known internally that such business was being done, because they are all involved. For instance, a trader goes on buying equities from the worlds stock exchanges that go down in price for 5 continuous years, but the company just keeps giving him more money to top up the trading, continues paying his salary and even annual bonus. Absolute rubbish. But assuming this actually did happen, the market risk team would have been watching these losses, as would have the accountants. It is not possible to hide things like this internally for very long, months at the most; 20+ years, NEVER.
So why plead guilty?
The answer is simple.
Look on the net and you will see that because this case is being labelled a fraud, it would appear that investors are going to be able to claim their investment back under the US government's financial fraud protection scheme. A judge has already given his approval in principle for compensation, without any evidence having been presented and financial fraud being demonstrated in a court of law.
And it would appear that there will never be such a demonstration in a court of law.
Why?
It would appear that all the funds financial records are mostly "missing" (rather like Dov Zakheim's US$1.4tn) and those few records that do survive are in a terrible mess.
However, since the guy has pleaded guilty we do not need to demonstrate the fraud, because he says he is guilty.
And look further on the net and you will see that these "victims" have also been told by the US tax authorities that they will probably also be entitled to claim back some taxes on these defrauded sums.
Rather than saying this hedge fund has gone bust, due to its choice of investment assets and investment methologies, a scenario which is highly probable in the current financial paradigm, since all the professionals are predicting that at least 30% of all hedge funds are about to fail, more than 700 of them, the CEO chooses to fess up to fraud. If the CEO admits the fund has gone bust, then all those wealthy members of the Jewish community get nothing, but if the CEO admits to fraud they get their money back as compensation from the US tax payer, just as they are also drawing money back from the tax payers with the other hand.
And, as can be seen at the Daily Mail link above, the investors in this fund only get to litigate the fund directors against Lloyds insurers in London for even more compensation.
Done properly the compensation could end up paying out far more than the original fund returns (yes this is sarcasm, it was bound to creep in eventually in yet another swindle like this).
Would that I could believe that Madoff were a good guy who slipped and then became repentant.
But given the facts, this simply cannot be true.

Santander Offers EU1.38 Billion Settlement for Private Clients
By Charles Penty

The Madoff Double Bluff
By Paul (aka - Muhammad Rafeeq)
12-19-8
At first sight it was extremely refreshing. A white-collar financial crook raising his hands and pleading guilty to his financial crime....
So a truly heart-warming confession. And it was apparently made to his 2 sons, both of whom who worked for the fund and who had absolutely no idea that this fraud was being perpetrated, until such time as this astounding confession.
But then I started to look more closely at the mix of investors who have lost money. About half of them are professional investing institutions. Look at this quote from the UK's Daily Mail newspaper (online) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1096228/Lloyds-London-
braced-claims-Madoff-meltdown-makes-directors-targets-lawsuits.html)
"Full details of the exact losses are yet to emerge.
Hedge funds and banks have so far admitted to having around £16billion with Madoff - only half of the total that is reckoned to have been lost.
Some of the biggest casualties are Swiss private banks, which have taken hits amounting to about £2.5billion.
Spanish bank Santander had £2.1billion of client money with Madoff. HSBC has admitted to lending about £600million to funds who wanted to use debt to gear up their positions with Madoff.
RAB capital, the hedge fund that lost huge sums on investing in Northern Rock, has revealed that it is exposed to Madoff to the tune of around £6million."
Now the confession does not look right at all.
... Yet Madoff would have us believe that he managed to convince professional investment companies to put their funds with him without any due diligence being performed.
This is clearly nonsense.
...If someone approaches the HSBC credit risk team, for instance, with a view to making a loan or investing a sum as large as £600m to what is ultimately a single institution (therefore a single counterparty credit exposure) a significant number hoops would have to be jumped through. Firstly there is the credit officer competence limit, which is the maximum amount that a single credit officer may be allowed to authorise.

TAX EVASION SCANDAL
Informant in German Investigation 'Fears' for his Life
The German man who sold officials data that has sparked the biggest tax evasion investigation in German history has requested another new identity out of fears he may be killed. The man is said to be concerned that powerful foreigners and despots who held accounts at the bank may retaliate.
Heinrich Kieber, the man who sold explosive customer data from LGT bank in Liechtenstein to Germany's foreign intelligence agency, the BND, is fearful for his life. Kieber, who has been bestowed a new identity as part of a witness protection program, complained in a letter to the BND about the fact that his name has been exposed and is demanding another change of identity.
Kieber first took up contact with the BND in January 2006 under the codename "Julia." And he eventally sold a DVD contaning the details of 2,000 client accounts worth more than €4 billion for a reported €4.2 million ($6.47 million.)
His latest letter was sent to the BND only a few days after prosecutors raided the home and offices of Deutsche Post Chairman Klaus Zumwinkel, who would step down from his post just days later. Kieber is said to be afraid of foreign potentates who belong to LGT's roster of customers. Members of the Saudi royal family are said to be among them as well as former Indonesian dictator Suharto, who died in January and who Indonesian justice authorities claimed illegally funneled more than a billion euros into foreign accounts.
Waves of Germans Turn Themselves In
In Germany, in the hope of receiving immunization from prosecution or bargaining for lower fines or sentences, a number of German LGT customers have already voluntarily turned themselves in to the tax authorities. By Friday, 134 of the 600 people whose information is said to be included in the data had turned themselves in. They include the owners of numerous companies in the textiles and cosmetics industries, and the highest reported case of tax evasion so far is reportedly €10 million.
In cases where people turn themselves in, they are forced to pay taxes on the earnings that were not claimed plus 6 percent interest. If, however, prosecutors decide to press charges, they could face stiff fines and prison sentences.

Massive Tax Evasion Scandal in Germany: The Liechtenstein Connection (02/16/2008)
Raid on Zumwinkel's Home and Office: Authorities Investigating Deutsche Post CEO for Tax Evasion (02/14/2008)Currently, the German federal government in Berlin and leaders in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia are disputing whether or not tax evaders in the case who have turned themselves in can be subject to prosecution. German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück of the Social Democrats called on tax evaders to turn themselves in, but his North-Rhine Westphalia colleague Helmut Linssens of the conservative Christian Democrats doesn't want them to be given immunity. It's Linssens' opinion that immunity only applies if a person turns himself before the start of proceedings or the moment they have been made public. Linnsen's tax investigators have been working on the LGT case since 2007.
However, tax authorities are not expected to search the homes of any more suspected tax evaders until after next week's Easter holiday. They are currently said to be investigating further material acquired from dubious sources. A career criminal is reportedly offering German officials 2,700 sets of data on German customers of the Liechtenstein bank Lichtensteinischen Landesbank, who apparently hid money there to avoid paying taxes in Germany.
German and other Western European countries have long been at odds with Liechtenstein and other countries with bank secrecy laws that empower tax evaders. Kieber also sold his DVD data to other countries, including the United States, making this a truly international scandal. In an editorial on its Web site last week, the US magazine the Atlantic asked if the case marked the "End of Secrecy?" The OECD, the magazine notes, has been pressing for tax havens to change their secrecy laws. Liechtenstein is one of three that hasn't. "Germany may simply have wanted to signal that it was prepared to go after tax evasion by any means necessary," the Atlantic writes. "Now that massive client files can be transferred to a DVD or USB drive with the click of a mouse, bank secrecy may no longer be the ironclad guarantee it once was."

GERMAN FINANCE MINISTER AMBUSHED OVER SETTLEMENTS
EDITOR CATCHES STEINBRUCK OFF GUARD AT G-7 PRESS CONFERENCE
Saturday 11 October 2008 04:00
UPDATE: 16th October 2008:
THIS REPORT WAS 'SNIPPED' AT A CRITICAL POINT, HIGHLIGHTING A SENSITIVE ISSUE
Yesterday evening, this report was found to have been illegally 'snipped' and severely truncated by NSA/CIA mental defectives. Whenever these fools do this, they reveal that what we have posted is ACCURATE AND TO THE POINT. By illegally interfering with what we publish, and cutting out parts of the text to which they take objection, they REVEAL THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT LINES. Anyone who is not sitting on their brains, as clearly these low-level idiots are, can work that one out.
In this instance, the 'snip' occurred at the point where we highlight the G-7's requirement that the large international banks must have an 'international college of supervisors' attached to them, to ensure that their criminal financial operations do not resume.
This is an extremely embarrassing and onerous requirement that the international community has imposed upon these banking criminal enterprises, and it also gets in the way of further financial fraud operations that elements of the corrupted US intelligence community wish to pursue in order to finance their 'Black Operations' in the future.
So 'snipping' at this point in the text below clearly exposes what these criminals have in mind. We have now restored the entire text as it was, with the single alteration that The Refunding Plan is now referred to, for obvious reasons, as 'The G-7-Approved Refunding Program'. The point in the original text where the article was criminally cut short is shown here:
= INCLUDING ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLEGES OF SUPERVISORS to be attached to each very large institution, charged with the task of checking and monitoring the ongoing operations of the largest financial institutions. In other words, the G-7 is insisting upon CHECKS AND BALANCES.
It will be recalled that [TEXT WAS ILLEGALLY TERMINATED BY NSA HERE] these ‘colleges’ were recommended in the G-7‘s communiqué dated 13th April 2008, following the call by Mr Michael C. Cottrell in March for an ‘oversight panel’ to protect Mr Cottrell from any untoward actions that might be taken independently by others under the intended funding arrangements which we had labelled ‘The Wanta Plan’. This is now to be referred to as ‘The G7-Approved Refunding Program’.
INTERIM ASSESSMENT: The theatrical display on the stage in front of the curtain last weekend and into Tuesday was blown up into a Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, with massive vulgar fireworks and explosions all over the place, in a brazen operation to SWAMP the Settlements that were 'supposed' to be transpiring behind the curtain (or to recycle the earlier metaphor, the mass-production sausage machine was supposed to have been activated in parallel).
Since this did not happen, the cash resources that are sitting in key US banks ready to finance the Settlements and which are the answer to the crisis that has been contrived by the criminalists who are withholding the payouts, have not yet been distributed.
THIS IS A U.S. CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY, and the stock market has of course cottoned on to this reality, having understood that the theatrical display WAS NOT THE REAL THING. China is believed to have signalled to the crooks in the White House and the Treasury that if they do not release, the Chinese are easily in a position to crash the stock market by a further 2,000 points. This is quite likely now, in the face of Bush's mad intransigence.
We will bring forward a further analysis when we have established more clearly what crimes are being committed and what steps are being taken to FORCE THE ISSUE.
• Remember the thousands of bankers who were rounded up this time last year and shipped to Europe in a fleet of planes?
Remember that they were given no time to collect their toothbrushes or to say goobye to their spouses etc?
They were shipped to Europe (notably Britain and Germany) because their crimes were committed there and they had thought they were covered by some form of US protection or other, which was an illusion. In the case of those bankers taken to Britain, they had moved funds held in accounts with the Bank of England. It has now been revealed to us that these bankers WERE JAILED FOR 25 YEARS. When some of their lawyers rushed over to Europe to try to salvage their clients, THEY TOO WERE NABBED and got severe jail sentences.
The bankers and some of their attorneys were caught by the EU's anti-terrorism legislation, which embraces money-laundering and financial fraud, as their crimes were committed inter alia in Britain and Germany. Thus these people were caught by a device originally invented (in the United States) to provide a pretext for the 'Big Brother surveillance society', the underlying intention of which was always primarily to keep tabs on who knew what about the FRAUDULENT FINANCE, not terrorism. But it was copied by the Europeans: hence the irony here.
• With an Obama LANDSLIDE imminent, WE EXPECT A MASSIVE PURGE OF CORRUPTED U.S. BANK AND OTHER PERSONNEL to materialise. This will be all the more likely if it transpires that sabotage of the Settlements persists into the Transition. The money to finance the Settlements is present in key US institutions and the withholding of its release is a crime of TREASON IN TIME OF WAR, not least as it is imposing hardship on Americans that the President of the United States possesses the power to alleviate. His obstructive failure to do so is CRIMINAL TREASON.
• All who are cooperating with Bush et al to hold on to the Settlements monies are co-conspirators and should be arrested and indicted forthwith for TREASON, corruption and fraud.
• The hardships that Americans and others are suffering are EXCLUSIVELY attributable to the criminal actions of the corrupt President Bush II and his cronies in sabotaging the Settlements.

MADOFF EXPOSURE WENT BEYOND THE SUPER RICH:
January 20, 2009
Reuters
ZURICH (Reuters) - While wealthy investors are the principal victims of Bernard Madoff's alleged $50 billion fraud, less affluent investors were also hit via products with lower minimum-investment thresholds, asset managers said.
By the time of the Madoff collapse, some products were available giving indirect access where the minimum investment was far lower than that required to invest directly in Madoff or its feeder funds.
"As things progressed Madoff lowered his own minimums and entry criteria in the hunt for cash. This brought more institutions in, resulting in broader distribution," said one Zurich-based private banker who asked not to be named.
It was a far cry from the early days, when access to Madoff funds was restricted to institutions investing tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, or to the super-rich such as clothing entrepreneur Carl Shapiro, who invested $500 million.
"At the start Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities was a sort of an exclusive club, very difficult to get into," said one former hedge fund manager and Monaco-based private investor who said he had been offered Madoff funds but had not invested.
"The reported returns were great and volatility was low, and so naturally many of the world's richest investors wanted access. The fact that not everyone could get in made Madoff funds even more enticing," he said.
Later on, a number of Madoff feeders took investments of as little as $50,000. One was Dublin-listed, Ucits III-compliant Thema International Fund plc and could also be distributed in Switzerland. It managed $1.25 billion as of November 2008.
The Luxembourg-registered Luxalpha Sicav American Selection Fund, which managed an estimated $1.4 billion, was another. UBS (UBSN.VX) (UBS.N) has said it established the fund in response to client requests.
ALTERNATIVE ACCESS
Structured products, securities that mirror the performance of an underlying asset such as a fund or index, also came into play. These products can be distributed broadly, and usually charge high fees and commissions.
The private banker from Zurich said his bank's clients lost $5 million investing in a leveraged structured product issued by Nomura Bank in 2006 and offered via private placements.
In private placements, investment products are sold to a restricted number of investors, generally institutions, which can then distribute them to a broader base of clients.
The Nomura product charged clients interest on leverage of 120 basis points over one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. The issue amount was $50 million, and while clients lost all their money, Nomura lost the $100 million which it had supplied in leverage.
Spain's BBVA (BBVA.MC) said in a statement on its website it faces losses of up to 300 million euros ($389.3 million) related to products structured for and distributed by third parties.
French bank BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), which said it could lose $350 million as a result of lending against Madoff-related collateral, offered a structured product for third party distribution in Germany. A spokesperson on Tuesday said losses on this product were "less than 1.0 million euros."
Although tough regulation limits hedge fund distribution in Germany, the nation is one of the largest markets for structured products, many built on hedge funds. No data is yet available on Germany's losses on Madoff via structured products.
Certain investors may have unwitting exposure to Madoff, as the owners of structured products built on fund of funds where Madoff was one of the portfolio funds.
For example the $3.8 billion Reichmuth Matterhorn fund, offered by Swiss private bank Reichmuth, was a top performing fund of funds for years, an ideal building block for a structured product. Matterhorn had 8.6 percent of its assets in Madoff.
A structured product from Hauck & Aufaeuser, another private bank, gave investors full exposure to Matterhorn with a minimum investment of 50,000 euros, half the fund's own minimum.
Assets invested in this product peaked at 143 million euros in June, falling back to 80 million euros by November as the credit crisis caused forced liquidations and the Lehman collapse alerted investors to the realities of counterparty risk.
"We recommended an allocation of a maximum five percent to this product. In the context of a diversified portfolio, it is a nuisance but not a disaster," Felix Hoepsner, head of communications at Reichmuth, told Reuters.
Hoepsner said that with the recommended allocation, client losses to Madoff would be less than one percent of assets.
Given the broad diffusion of Madoff-related products in fund of funds, investor losses in structured products built on such funds are likely to mount, analysts say.

It will be recalled that [TEXT WAS ILLEGALLY TERMINATED BY NSA HERE] these ‘colleges’ were recommended in the G-7‘s communiqué dated 13th April 2008, following the call by Mr Michael C. Cottrell in March for an ‘oversight panel’ to protect Mr Cottrell from any untoward actions that might be taken independently by others under the intended funding arrangements which we had labelled ‘The Wanta Plan’. This is now to be referred to as ‘The G7-Approved Refunding Program’.
INTERIM ASSESSMENT: The theatrical display on the stage in front of the curtain last weekend and into Tuesday was blown up into a Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, with massive vulgar fireworks and explosions all over the place, in a brazen operation to SWAMP the Settlements that were 'supposed' to be transpiring behind the curtain (or to recycle the earlier metaphor, the mass-production sausage machine was supposed to have been activated in parallel).
Since this did not happen, the cash resources that are sitting in key US banks ready to finance the Settlements and which are the answer to the crisis that has been contrived by the criminalists who are withholding the payouts, have not yet been distributed.
THIS IS A U.S. CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY, and the stock market has of course cottoned on to this reality, having understood that the theatrical display WAS NOT THE REAL THING. China is believed to have signalled to the crooks in the White House and the Treasury that if they do not release, the Chinese are easily in a position to crash the stock market by a further 2,000 points. This is quite likely now, in the face of Bush's mad intransigence.
We will bring forward a further analysis when we have established more clearly what crimes are being committed and what steps are being taken to FORCE THE ISSUE.
• Remember the thousands of bankers who were rounded up this time last year and shipped to Europe in a fleet of planes?
Remember that they were given no time to collect their toothbrushes or to say goobye to their spouses etc?
They were shipped to Europe (notably Britain and Germany) because their crimes were committed there and they had thought they were covered by some form of US protection or other, which was an illusion. In the case of those bankers taken to Britain, they had moved funds held in accounts with the Bank of England. It has now been revealed to us that these bankers WERE JAILED FOR 25 YEARS. When some of their lawyers rushed over to Europe to try to salvage their clients, THEY TOO WERE NABBED and got severe jail sentences.
The bankers and some of their attorneys were caught by the EU's anti-terrorism legislation, which embraces money-laundering and financial fraud, as their crimes were committed inter alia in Britain and Germany. Thus these people were caught by a device originally invented (in the United States) to provide a pretext for the 'Big Brother surveillance society', the underlying intention of which was always primarily to keep tabs on who knew what about the FRAUDULENT FINANCE, not terrorism. But it was copied by the Europeans: hence the irony here.
• With an Obama LANDSLIDE imminent, WE EXPECT A MASSIVE PURGE OF CORRUPTED U.S. BANK AND OTHER PERSONNEL to materialise. This will be all the more likely if it transpires that sabotage of the Settlements persists into the Transition. The money to finance the Settlements is present in key US institutions and the withholding of its release is a crime of TREASON IN TIME OF WAR, not least as it is imposing hardship on Americans that the President of the United States possesses the power to alleviate. His obstructive failure to do so is CRIMINAL TREASON.
• All who are cooperating with Bush et al to hold on to the Settlements monies are co-conspirators and should be arrested and indicted forthwith for TREASON, corruption and fraud.
• The hardships that Americans and others are suffering are EXCLUSIVELY attributable to the criminal actions of the corrupt President Bush II and his cronies in sabotaging the Settlements.

MADOFF EXPOSURE WENT BEYOND THE SUPER RICH:
January 20, 2009
Reuters
ZURICH (Reuters) - While wealthy investors are the principal victims of Bernard Madoff's alleged $50 billion fraud, less affluent investors were also hit via products with lower minimum-investment thresholds, asset managers said.
By the time of the Madoff collapse, some products were available giving indirect access where the minimum investment was far lower than that required to invest directly in Madoff or its feeder funds.
"As things progressed Madoff lowered his own minimums and entry criteria in the hunt for cash. This brought more institutions in, resulting in broader distribution," said one Zurich-based private banker who asked not to be named.
It was a far cry from the early days, when access to Madoff funds was restricted to institutions investing tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, or to the super-rich such as clothing entrepreneur Carl Shapiro, who invested $500 million.
"At the start Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities was a sort of an exclusive club, very difficult to get into," said one former hedge fund manager and Monaco-based private investor who said he had been offered Madoff funds but had not invested.
"The reported returns were great and volatility was low, and so naturally many of the world's richest investors wanted access. The fact that not everyone could get in made Madoff funds even more enticing," he said.
Later on, a number of Madoff feeders took investments of as little as $50,000. One was Dublin-listed, Ucits III-compliant Thema International Fund plc and could also be distributed in Switzerland. It managed $1.25 billion as of November 2008.
The Luxembourg-registered Luxalpha Sicav American Selection Fund, which managed an estimated $1.4 billion, was another. UBS (UBSN.VX) (UBS.N) has said it established the fund in response to client requests.
ALTERNATIVE ACCESS
Structured products, securities that mirror the performance of an underlying asset such as a fund or index, also came into play. These products can be distributed broadly, and usually charge high fees and commissions.
The private banker from Zurich said his bank's clients lost $5 million investing in a leveraged structured product issued by Nomura Bank in 2006 and offered via private placements.
In private placements, investment products are sold to a restricted number of investors, generally institutions, which can then distribute them to a broader base of clients.
The Nomura product charged clients interest on leverage of 120 basis points over one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. The issue amount was $50 million, and while clients lost all their money, Nomura lost the $100 million which it had supplied in leverage.
Spain's BBVA (BBVA.MC) said in a statement on its website it faces losses of up to 300 million euros ($389.3 million) related to products structured for and distributed by third parties.
French bank BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), which said it could lose $350 million as a result of lending against Madoff-related collateral, offered a structured product for third party distribution in Germany. A spokesperson on Tuesday said losses on this product were "less than 1.0 million euros."
Although tough regulation limits hedge fund distribution in Germany, the nation is one of the largest markets for structured products, many built on hedge funds. No data is yet available on Germany's losses on Madoff via structured products.
Certain investors may have unwitting exposure to Madoff, as the owners of structured products built on fund of funds where Madoff was one of the portfolio funds.
For example the $3.8 billion Reichmuth Matterhorn fund, offered by Swiss private bank Reichmuth, was a top performing fund of funds for years, an ideal building block for a structured product. Matterhorn had 8.6 percent of its assets in Madoff.
A structured product from Hauck & Aufaeuser, another private bank, gave investors full exposure to Matterhorn with a minimum investment of 50,000 euros, half the fund's own minimum.
Assets invested in this product peaked at 143 million euros in June, falling back to 80 million euros by November as the credit crisis caused forced liquidations and the Lehman collapse alerted investors to the realities of counterparty risk.
"We recommended an allocation of a maximum five percent to this product. In the context of a diversified portfolio, it is a nuisance but not a disaster," Felix Hoepsner, head of communications at Reichmuth, told Reuters.
Hoepsner said that with the recommended allocation, client losses to Madoff would be less than one percent of assets.
Given the broad diffusion of Madoff-related products in fund of funds, investor losses in structured products built on such funds are likely to mount, analysts say.

[doveofo] NESARA Uncovers Where $700 Billion Went in October 08; Basel II
January 22, 2009 3:39 p.m. PST
Hello Dear Friends and White Knights, ...
....In early 2008, my friend who told me about Basel II was talking to some American bankers who kept telling her that the American banks were not holding enough cash to meet the requirements of Basel II. She was told the banks would be in big trouble unless they fixed their balance sheets to align with Basel II. Please note: the standards required by Basel II are ARBITRARY. There is NO PROOF that the Basel II standards are necessary or good.
There was a problem: the American banks did not have a plan to somehow increase their cash holdings to meet Basel II. Where could they get big gobs of money quickly?
Through various manipulations, certain banks and investment houses were made to look like they were failing when the Basel II requirements were implemented in August ’08.
Now, moving on to the pre-planned moves of the Illuminati Bush administration’s actions to dig into Americans’ pockets to get the cash wanted by the banks and investment houses. My friend who first alerted me to Basel II, said recently that she was sure the original $700 Billion asked for in the bailout was actually given to Bush from the Fed, through secret actions, even though Congress had not voted. The $700 Billion went quickly out of the US to an Illuminati bank in Germany before Congress ever voted on the first bailout.
To make sure they filled their pockets as full as possible, the Bush gang had Treasury Secretary Paulson use the $700 Billion the Fed gave them to buy MTNs (a highly lucrative investment in European banks) from another European bank. Paulson bought two bundles of $350 Billion each. Then Paulson began to hunt for a buyer to buy the MTNs from him.
A contact of mine in the US has been involved in MTN buy-sells for years. My contact heard about the $350 Billion in MTNs which were available. My contact was told that the seller’s name had to be kept secret. My contact choose not to get involved because it was too much of a coincidence. The fact was there was a secret seller who had two bundles of $350 Billion MTNs available to be purchased.
My intel sources tell me that Paulson eventually sold the two bundles of $350 Billion each for close to $550 Billion each. This meant the Bush gang split over $1 Trillion for themselves and it was all from money stolen from the government.

Bob tipped off the people he should have been investigating.
It's called Bob's protocol?
___________________________________________________
Then, when Congress went ahead and approved the $850 Billion bailout, the Fed gave Paulson another $350 Billion and Paulson did sent most of that $350 Billion to the US banks and investment houses.
At that same time, Bush received $100 Billion which he used as he wished.
In addition, the Fed sent $2 Trillion USD to the American banks the last quarter of 2008 but refused to tell anyone details of which banks received the money.
Now my friend who first told me about Basel II says that her banker contacts are saying that all the American banks have somehow met the Basel II cash requirements. Now, she is saying that there is a Basel III set of standards but she has not been able to find out what Basel III requires.
THIS IS WHY the banks are not lending money.
The banks are told by the Fed secretly that they must keep big cash reserves.
The bankers are almost all Illuminati and they listen to the Fed, they don’t listen to politicians.
If any of you can send a copy of this Dove Report to Lou Dobbs at CNN, or Jim Cramer at Mad Money on CNBC, or Chris Matthews at MSNBC, please do get this information to them. They probably do not know about the secret MTN buy-sells, but they want to know WHY no banks are lending! Basel II is WHY!
Also, Basel II was not secret, it was covered in the mainstream news once in a while in 2007.
Basel II is discussed by the Federal Reserve on a Fed web page dated November 2, 2007 and other dates which can be found by searching the Fed website.
We have been ruthlessly robbed by the Illuminati Bush gang.
NESARA will put a permanent end to all the Illuminati. NESARA Now!

Waco Cracker Of ‘Cosmic Code’ David Koresh’s Mother Murdered
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
News reports from the United States are stating that the mother of David Koresh (the leader of the controversial religious sect named the Branch Davidians, of whom 80 men, women and children were murdered, and burned beyond all recognition, by US Government Black Operations Forces after their 1993, 51-day-siege of the sects Waco, Texas compound) was herself murdered after having written a book about her son and the ‘discoveries’ he had made which led to his death, and as we can read as reported by the BBC News Service:
“The mother of the notorious Waco sect leader David Koresh has been found stabbed to death at the house of a sister in Texas, police say. Bonnie Clark Halderman, who was in her sixties, was found dead at the home of Beverly Clark who has been taken into custody pending a court appearance.
Ms Clark Halderman was found on Friday afternoon at the home of Ms Clark, in a rural area near Chandler, about 175 miles (280km) north of Houston. She had recently written a book about her son, who led 80 people to violent death in the 1993 Waco siege.”
As we had previously reported on in our January 11, 1995 report “Waco Deaths Linked To Breaking Of US Ultra Secret “Cosmic Code”, FSB reports on the murders of David Koresh and his followers were ordered by then US President William Clinton after Branch Davidian hackers were reported to have cracked the American Black Operations Establishment most ‘ultra secret’ code named ‘Cosmic’.
Of the information gathered on US Intelligence Agencies by David Koresh and the Branch Davidians we can read as reported by the AFPN News Service:
“Two of the Branch Davidian village members had been able to hack into the Pentagon/CIA/FBI Black Ops databases, and discovered that the CIA with the utilization of the CIA's Buffalo Airlines, were daily transferring Cocaine, laundered money, special operations agents, kidnapped children for CIA pedophile programs, and arms at the World War Two runway that bordered the Branch Davidian Village.
The entire village knew about the CIA's Buffalo Airlines activities that tied directly to George Bush Senior and his direct involvement with the CIA, the Mafia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Columbia, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and other global locations, that included the global elites intelligence operations, banking operations, drug transfers, arms transfers, child pedophile kidnapping and transfers, aircraft refueling, and global money laundering network.”
Current FSB reports on the murder of David Koresh’s mother state that her death was ‘most likely’ due to the Bush-Clinton Drug Empire’s ongoing efforts in eliminating all persons having knowledge of their efforts to topple the United States Government through the destruction of their banking and economic systems utilizing the vast International power base that has long backed their regimes called the Federal Reserve System long owned by the interests of European Rothschild banking family.
Virtually unknown to the American people about the current Global economic crisis, but vitally important to note, is that its beginning started in the summer of 2008, with the combined Scotland Yard-FSB and Interpol investigation into the horrific sexual abuse, torture and murder of children at what was known as the Haut de la Garenne on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel, and which hundreds of former child residents have testified was used for the purpose of providing to US-Israeli and European powerful elite families children to be used in demonic ritual sex acts and ritual killings.
FSB and Interpol investigators were brought into this investigation by Scotland Yard in August, 2008, after the lead British investigator reported the obstructions being placed against him in brining the perpetrators of these horrific crimes to justice, and as we can read as reported by Britain’s Telegraph News Service:
“An "old boy network" of officials is deliberately obstructing police investigating decades of alleged abuse at care homes in Jersey, according to the police officer who spearheaded the inquiry.
Deputy Chief Officer Lenny Harper angrily hit out at the figures who he says have engaged in a "day by day attack" on the inquiry team and the alleged victims of abuse at Haut de la Garenne and other island institutions.
In his most outspoken criticism of the Jersey authorities, Mr Harper told the Telegraph: “I can quite clearly say that the investigation is being held up. There are people on the island who just don't want us going down the route of this inquiry.”
To the importance of the Isle of Jersey to the vast American, Israeli and European Drug and Banking Empires, and its long use as a location long protected from International law, we can further read for our understanding:
“The Bailiwick of Jersey is a British Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the island of Jersey itself, the bailiwick includes the nearly uninhabited islands of the Minquiers, Écréhous, the Pierres de Lecq and other rocks and reefs. Together with the bailiwick of Guernsey it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands. The defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. However, Jersey is part of neither the UK nor the European Union; rather, like the Isle of Man, it is a separate possession of the Crown. Jersey belongs to the Common Travel Area.”
However, once the initial FSB and Interpol reports began circulating among the West’s Intelligence services, especially the US Military, ‘immediate plans’ were put into place to destroy these powerful monsters ‘once and for all’, and which meant an ‘all out’ attack upon their source of power, the American and European private banks that for nearly three centuries have controlled virtually all the governments of the Western World and have been directly responsible for two World Wars in just the past 100 years alone.
To the consequences of this Global battle currently being waged, it is well known that in their fight to keep power, these monsters are systematically looting the reserves of nearly every Western Nation and using their vast intelligence networks to instigate Total World War in what they are calling their ‘Masada Option’, and which is based upon the ancient Judean fortress that while under siege by the Roman Army choose mass suicide over surrender.
Unfortunately for the American people, and who are currently in the center of this Global firestorm, the knowledge needed to either understand these complex battles, and the factions behind them, or to protect themselves and their families from the worst catastrophes to come, is not just lacking, it is nearly nonexistent.
For decades these peoples have been so lied to, and deluded, that as hard as it is to image, they are even now, at this very moment, still paying billions of dollars each week in fraudulent mortgage and credit card payments to the very enemies of their own government and new President, and not even realizing that the so called ‘credit ratings’ they are trying to protect have nothing at all to do with what their true worth is, but is rather a means by these monsters to measure their worth as slaves.
One can only wonder when these poor peoples will ever awaken to the monstrous fraud that has been perpetrated upon them and being protecting themselves, and their families, instead of continuing to serve the demonic slave masters still intent upon destroying them all.

Also important to note that KORESH'S MOTHER'S BOOK also detailed the fact that WACO--DAVIDIANS were GOVERNMENT MANCHURIAN PATSIES much like the SAN DIEGO UFO CULT "Heavons Gate" when FBI IN SAN DIEGO (same place the 9/11 hijackers were monitored by FBI thru their informant) were running OPERATION HEAVONS GATE?
WHAT WAS OPERATION HEAVONS GATE?
DO GOOGLE ON FBI'S OPERATION SLAMMER to find KATHLEEN MCKINNEY'S LETTERS TO CONGRESS briefing them to FBI MIND CONTROL AND PSY OPS used to "create school shooters on a shelf" who are used to create fear, hysteria and FALSE FLAG TERRORISM at COLUMBINE, AND SO MANY OTHER SCHOOLS.
GO ASK BOB MUELLER ABOUT FBI HQ aiding, abetting, and conspiring to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE WHEN FBI STOOD DOWN...YES...STOOD DOWN AGAIN ON FALSE FLAG TERRORISM...when CHENEY AND DUMSFIELD AND MUELLER ordered the 3 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN SEVEN DAYS right before the 2006 congressional elections.
CHENEY AND ROVE both knew...the polls showed the Dems winning the House and possibly the Senate meaning to CHENEY--MUELLER: that some oversight could occur under Democrats.
Thus...with NO PLATFORM TO RUN ON, THE GOP UNDER CHENEY--MUELLER'S CRIME FAMILY...used "fear, hysteria, FALSE FLAG TERRORISM" as a way of "moving voters to the GOP because it was thought that THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF LAW AND ORDER" when all hell breaks loose.
It's called the SHOCK DOCTRINE: create FAILURE AND FEAR AND MADNESS...then...create a POLICE STATE AND GOV SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT MONEY as a form of secret SUCCESS.
CREATE THE PROBLEM SECRETLY...hide behind a punk's FBI badge...and...then CREATE THE SOLUTION WITH GOV MONEY GOING INTO THE POLICE STATE'S GREEDY PIG PAWS.
How many Dems want to track the PAYOFFS TO FED, STATE, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO ALL PROTECT THE NSA TSP NO BID FRONT LOADED GOV SURVEILLANCE CONTRACTS....?
Want to know why my DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT was obstructed by a gutless faggot drug dealing pussy named ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III?
Follow the money.
COPS AND FEDS were fighting over SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT MONEY to put in their pockets...and that is why MUELLER ALWAYS OBSTRUCTS THE PATRIOT ACT MURDERS, TORTURES, AND STALKING of anybody who "is in the know" and "might investigate""
----AFTER CONTACTING SEN GRASSLEY WITH MY TEN PAGE MEMO...GRASSLEY'S FINANCE AID WAS WIRETAPPED AND ASSAULTED WITH A BASEBALL BAT........Mueller and FBI faggots have "no comment" on their CALEA INTERFACE SEARCH TO USE THE TITLE III FELONY AS LEVERAGE TO FLIP THEIR WAY TO THE PATRIOT ACT CRIME OF TERRORISTIC VIOLENCE?
----CIA ASSET CARNEBY MURDERED BY HOUSTON PD...MUELLER stands down?
----CARNEBY'S KNOWN ASSOCIATE, HAMID, an Austin, Texas, Palestinian peace activist...is found murdered and floating in LADYBIRD LAKE in Austin...and his hands are tied behind his back...and...BOB MUELLER STANDS DOWN ON THIS PATRIOT ACT MURDER BY HOUSTON MOSSAD??????????????????????????
----3 SOUTH DAKOTA MURDES OF MY KNOWN ASSOCIATES...MUELLER FAGGOT stands down and has the audacity to testify in front of Levin and Leahy that "...uh...I was following my pussified faggot punk protocol" (FBI HQ TOLD CHENEY AND DUMSFIELD AND GOSS that he wanted to ask permission to investigate GOP MURDERS????????).
MUELLER STOOD ON THE FENCE LIKE A LYING LITTLE PUNK...AND...STILL TO THIS DAY...THINKS HE CAN FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME...because Bob thinks he has a ten year commitment????????????????????

“The mother of the notorious Waco sect leader David Koresh has been found stabbed to death at the house of a sister in Texas, police say. Bonnie Clark Halderman, who was in her sixties, was found dead at the home of Beverly Clark who has been taken into custody pending a court appearance.
Ms Clark Halderman was found on Friday afternoon at the home of Ms Clark, in a rural area near Chandler, about 175 miles (280km) north of Houston. She had recently written a book about her son, who led 80 people to violent death in the 1993 Waco siege.”
As we had previously reported on in our January 11, 1995 report “Waco Deaths Linked To Breaking Of US Ultra Secret “Cosmic Code”, FSB reports on the murders of David Koresh and his followers were ordered by then US President William Clinton after Branch Davidian hackers were reported to have cracked the American Black Operations Establishment most ‘ultra secret’ code named ‘Cosmic’.
Of the information gathered on US Intelligence Agencies by David Koresh and the Branch Davidians we can read as reported by the AFPN News Service:
“Two of the Branch Davidian village members had been able to hack into the Pentagon/CIA/FBI Black Ops databases, and discovered that the CIA with the utilization of the CIA's Buffalo Airlines, were daily transferring Cocaine, laundered money, special operations agents, kidnapped children for CIA pedophile programs, and arms at the World War Two runway that bordered the Branch Davidian Village.
The entire village knew about the CIA's Buffalo Airlines activities that tied directly to George Bush Senior and his direct involvement with the CIA, the Mafia, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Columbia, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and other global locations, that included the global elites intelligence operations, banking operations, drug transfers, arms transfers, child pedophile kidnapping and transfers, aircraft refueling, and global money laundering network.”
Current FSB reports on the murder of David Koresh’s mother state that her death was ‘most likely’ due to the Bush-Clinton Drug Empire’s ongoing efforts in eliminating all persons having knowledge of their efforts to topple the United States Government through the destruction of their banking and economic systems utilizing the vast International power base that has long backed their regimes called the Federal Reserve System long owned by the interests of European Rothschild banking family.
Virtually unknown to the American people about the current Global economic crisis, but vitally important to note, is that its beginning started in the summer of 2008, with the combined Scotland Yard-FSB and Interpol investigation into the horrific sexual abuse, torture and murder of children at what was known as the Haut de la Garenne on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel, and which hundreds of former child residents have testified was used for the purpose of providing to US-Israeli and European powerful elite families children to be used in demonic ritual sex acts and ritual killings.
FSB and Interpol investigators were brought into this investigation by Scotland Yard in August, 2008, after the lead British investigator reported the obstructions being placed against him in brining the perpetrators of these horrific crimes to justice, and as we can read as reported by Britain’s Telegraph News Service:
“An "old boy network" of officials is deliberately obstructing police investigating decades of alleged abuse at care homes in Jersey, according to the police officer who spearheaded the inquiry.
Deputy Chief Officer Lenny Harper angrily hit out at the figures who he says have engaged in a "day by day attack" on the inquiry team and the alleged victims of abuse at Haut de la Garenne and other island institutions.
In his most outspoken criticism of the Jersey authorities, Mr Harper told the Telegraph: “I can quite clearly say that the investigation is being held up. There are people on the island who just don't want us going down the route of this inquiry.”
To the importance of the Isle of Jersey to the vast American, Israeli and European Drug and Banking Empires, and its long use as a location long protected from International law, we can further read for our understanding:
“The Bailiwick of Jersey is a British Crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the island of Jersey itself, the bailiwick includes the nearly uninhabited islands of the Minquiers, Écréhous, the Pierres de Lecq and other rocks and reefs. Together with the bailiwick of Guernsey it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands. The defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. However, Jersey is part of neither the UK nor the European Union; rather, like the Isle of Man, it is a separate possession of the Crown. Jersey belongs to the Common Travel Area.”
However, once the initial FSB and Interpol reports began circulating among the West’s Intelligence services, especially the US Military, ‘immediate plans’ were put into place to destroy these powerful monsters ‘once and for all’, and which meant an ‘all out’ attack upon their source of power, the American and European private banks that for nearly three centuries have controlled virtually all the governments of the Western World and have been directly responsible for two World Wars in just the past 100 years alone.
To the consequences of this Global battle currently being waged, it is well known that in their fight to keep power, these monsters are systematically looting the reserves of nearly every Western Nation and using their vast intelligence networks to instigate Total World War in what they are calling their ‘Masada Option’, and which is based upon the ancient Judean fortress that while under siege by the Roman Army choose mass suicide over surrender.
Unfortunately for the American people, and who are currently in the center of this Global firestorm, the knowledge needed to either understand these complex battles, and the factions behind them, or to protect themselves and their families from the worst catastrophes to come, is not just lacking, it is nearly nonexistent.
For decades these peoples have been so lied to, and deluded, that as hard as it is to image, they are even now, at this very moment, still paying billions of dollars each week in fraudulent mortgage and credit card payments to the very enemies of their own government and new President, and not even realizing that the so called ‘credit ratings’ they are trying to protect have nothing at all to do with what their true worth is, but is rather a means by these monsters to measure their worth as slaves.
One can only wonder when these poor peoples will ever awaken to the monstrous fraud that has been perpetrated upon them and being protecting themselves, and their families, instead of continuing to serve the demonic slave masters still intent upon destroying them all.

Also important to note that KORESH'S MOTHER'S BOOK also detailed the fact that WACO--DAVIDIANS were GOVERNMENT MANCHURIAN PATSIES much like the SAN DIEGO UFO CULT "Heavons Gate" when FBI IN SAN DIEGO (same place the 9/11 hijackers were monitored by FBI thru their informant) were running OPERATION HEAVONS GATE?
WHAT WAS OPERATION HEAVONS GATE?
DO GOOGLE ON FBI'S OPERATION SLAMMER to find KATHLEEN MCKINNEY'S LETTERS TO CONGRESS briefing them to FBI MIND CONTROL AND PSY OPS used to "create school shooters on a shelf" who are used to create fear, hysteria and FALSE FLAG TERRORISM at COLUMBINE, AND SO MANY OTHER SCHOOLS.
GO ASK BOB MUELLER ABOUT FBI HQ aiding, abetting, and conspiring to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE WHEN FBI STOOD DOWN...YES...STOOD DOWN AGAIN ON FALSE FLAG TERRORISM...when CHENEY AND DUMSFIELD AND MUELLER ordered the 3 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN SEVEN DAYS right before the 2006 congressional elections.
CHENEY AND ROVE both knew...the polls showed the Dems winning the House and possibly the Senate meaning to CHENEY--MUELLER: that some oversight could occur under Democrats.
Thus...with NO PLATFORM TO RUN ON, THE GOP UNDER CHENEY--MUELLER'S CRIME FAMILY...used "fear, hysteria, FALSE FLAG TERRORISM" as a way of "moving voters to the GOP because it was thought that THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF LAW AND ORDER" when all hell breaks loose.
It's called the SHOCK DOCTRINE: create FAILURE AND FEAR AND MADNESS...then...create a POLICE STATE AND GOV SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT MONEY as a form of secret SUCCESS.
CREATE THE PROBLEM SECRETLY...hide behind a punk's FBI badge...and...then CREATE THE SOLUTION WITH GOV MONEY GOING INTO THE POLICE STATE'S GREEDY PIG PAWS.
How many Dems want to track the PAYOFFS TO FED, STATE, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO ALL PROTECT THE NSA TSP NO BID FRONT LOADED GOV SURVEILLANCE CONTRACTS....?
Want to know why my DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT was obstructed by a gutless faggot drug dealing pussy named ROBERT SWAN MUELLER, III?
Follow the money.
COPS AND FEDS were fighting over SURVEILLANCE CONTRACT MONEY to put in their pockets...and that is why MUELLER ALWAYS OBSTRUCTS THE PATRIOT ACT MURDERS, TORTURES, AND STALKING of anybody who "is in the know" and "might investigate""
----AFTER CONTACTING SEN GRASSLEY WITH MY TEN PAGE MEMO...GRASSLEY'S FINANCE AID WAS WIRETAPPED AND ASSAULTED WITH A BASEBALL BAT........Mueller and FBI faggots have "no comment" on their CALEA INTERFACE SEARCH TO USE THE TITLE III FELONY AS LEVERAGE TO FLIP THEIR WAY TO THE PATRIOT ACT CRIME OF TERRORISTIC VIOLENCE?
----CIA ASSET CARNEBY MURDERED BY HOUSTON PD...MUELLER stands down?
----CARNEBY'S KNOWN ASSOCIATE, HAMID, an Austin, Texas, Palestinian peace activist...is found murdered and floating in LADYBIRD LAKE in Austin...and his hands are tied behind his back...and...BOB MUELLER STANDS DOWN ON THIS PATRIOT ACT MURDER BY HOUSTON MOSSAD??????????????????????????
----3 SOUTH DAKOTA MURDES OF MY KNOWN ASSOCIATES...MUELLER FAGGOT stands down and has the audacity to testify in front of Levin and Leahy that "...uh...I was following my pussified faggot punk protocol" (FBI HQ TOLD CHENEY AND DUMSFIELD AND GOSS that he wanted to ask permission to investigate GOP MURDERS????????).
MUELLER STOOD ON THE FENCE LIKE A LYING LITTLE PUNK...AND...STILL TO THIS DAY...THINKS HE CAN FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME...because Bob thinks he has a ten year commitment????????????????????
How come OBAMA--LEAHY--CONYERS will not talk to BEAN about CIA--FBI MIND CONTROL TORTURE and MURDERS IN SOUTH DAKOTA?

Former Bush Speechwriter: CIA Torturers Are ‘American Heroes’»
Last week, former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen penned a vitriolic op-ed in the Washington Post, arguing that if there is another terror attack, “Americans will hold Obama responsible.” Greg Sargent noted that on the same day, Thiessen called President Obama “the most dangerous man ever to occupy the Oval Office.”
Today, in an interview on WAMU’s Diane Rehm Show, Thiessen again lashed out at Obama, this time for Obama’s executive order closing Guantanamo. “I think this is the most dangerous decision that any president has made within 48 hours of his inauguration,” he said, saying that torture is “singularly responsible” for stopping attacks on the U.S. Thiessen listed a long chain of events that were all allegedly sourced to the torture of Abu Zubaydah:
THIESSEN: The CIA developed these alternative interrogation techniques, and all of a sudden he started talking. Zubaydah’s information led us to Ramsey bin al Shibh, who was was one of the 9/11 hijackers. Together, they gave us the information that led the capture of KSM. Then, KSM gave us information about another al Qaeda operative, Majid Khan, who was in CIA custody. He told us that Majid Khan had been tasked to give $50,000 to an operative named Zubair, who was developing plots with a Southeast Asian group called JI.
Later, Thiessen bristled in response to a conversation about investigating Bush administration officials for torture. Bush’s torturers, he said, are really “American heroes”:
THIESSEN: They’re not torturers. They’re heroes. … And the thought that we’re sitting here discussing whether these people should be prosecuted or investigated is just outrageous. These people are American heroes who saved lives and stopped the next Sept. 11.
Listen here:
Zubaydah’s torture is a textbook example of why coercive interrogations do not work. Zubaydah was reportedly driven mentally insane from his torture, and Canadians tossed out evidence from the CIA’s interrogations of Zubaydah. In fact, from Zubaydah’s interrogations, the U.S. gleaned false information about links between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.
In calling Bush’s torturers “heroes,” Thiessen is echoing Bill Kristol, who suggested in November that the “CIA agents who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammad” receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Turley: Obama 'accessory' to war crimes if no prosecution
David Edwards and Ron Brynaert
Published: Tuesday January 27, 2009
A few weeks ago, George Washington University Constitutional Law professor Jonathan Turley, while appearing on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, essentially said that the Obama administration would "own" any war crimes -- such as the reported waterboarding of 9/11 suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- if it chose to look the other way. On Monday's show Turley went a little further and suggested that if Obama impedes investigations or prosecution that he wouldn't just be an "apologist," but also an "accessory."
Olbermann started the segment by reading a statement released by the Obama administration in response to last week's allegations from a former NSA analyst that President Bush's national security agency targeted news organizations for surveillance and even pried into personal records like finance and travel."
The response stated, "As the president made clear [last week] his administration is ensuring that all programs are conducted in accordance with our values and the rule of law. There will be no exceptions."
Olbermann noted that that was similar to claims made by Bush the last few years, insisting that "all programs were conducted consistent with our values and rule of law," even though most experts have pointed out that methods such as waterboarding are considered torture, inhumane and against the law.
"How much daylight might there be between that and any of the analogs from the Bush White House?" Olbermann asked Turley, who immediately responded, "Not much."
Turley pointed out that the Obama administration response was written "in the future tense. You weren't asking whether he would do these things. Nobody thinks that Obama is George Bush. I think we believe that he's better than these past programs. But people are not asking about the future. We are asking about the past."
"It takes a lot to avoid a very simple truism," Turley argued. "That, if true, these would be crimes and we prosecute crimes. We call people criminals who commit them. It is very easy to say. All you need is the principals and the courage to say it."
Turley said that he had "very little sympathy for the people that committed this torture. I've heard President Obama say we don't want talented people at the CIA looking over their shoulders. Well those talented people in this circumstance would be torturers."
"But in reality nobody thinks that they're going to be prosecuted," Turley continued. "They have something called the estoppel defense where they can say that they were told by people like John Yoo and others that what they did was legal. That does not protect the president and the vice president, and they're the ones and the people just below them who deserve to be investigated and they must be prosecuted if they've committed war crimes or we will shred four treaties and at least four statutes."
[Turley has more background about the estoppel arguments at his blog.]
"And the problem here is it wouldn't make Obama an apologist it would make him an accessory," Turley argued. "He would be preventing the investigation of war crimes. How could he go from that and say that he's all about the rule of law?"
Referring to the fresh Rove subpoena, Turley said that "we could have an interesting fight where George Bush comes in and says 'I'm still claiming executive privilege' when the current president is saying we don't recognize it. Indeed. Obama's people could prosecute Rove and others and I think that the federal courts would give much greater rate to the man currently in the Oval Office than the man who just left it."
Olbermann agreed that "the current executive is the one who gets to decide what executive privilege is."

DOD PENTAGON PIGS spend America into oblivion....thanks guys...you destroyed the economy...no?
http://www.russiatoday.com/features/news/36389
January 26, 2009, 8:51
Is military spending crippling America?
The United States spends hundreds of billions of dollars each year on its military. Part of the budget funds a worldwide network of bases, including sites in former Soviet republics.
The U.S. has 6,000 military bases on its own territory and huge numbers of military facilities abroad - more than any other country in the world.
Experts estimate the number of units to be from 600 to over 800 spread over 130 countries.
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen believes many of the locations are kept secret.
"Recently, there was an incident where an Air Force enlisted man crashed into a wedding procession in Lithuania. It turns out he was attached to an air base in Lithuania. So every day we find out about additional U.S. bases that we haven't heard of in the past," Madsen said.
Why the secrecy? Author and expert in U.S. military bases overseas, Alexander Cooley, says host countries often prefer to keep quiet about the bases.
"As U.S. legitimacy has declined, host country governments have been less willing to publicly be associated with the U.S.," Cooley says.
However, that is not true for all governments.
Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili welcomes the idea of an American presence on Georgian territory and has reportedly offered the U.S. several thousand hectares of land to use for military bases.
Often, smaller countries like former soviet republic, Kyrygyzstan, allow bases to be set up on their territory for financial reasons.
However, the Georgian president is willing to waive rent and has offered the land with a 90-year lease.
"Georgia wants continuous and prolonged security engagement with the United States and with the West more broadly. Especially now that it sees that its path to EuroAtlantic integration has in some way been stymied. It perceives that a security relationship with the U.S. is the best way to guarantee that EuroAtlantic orientation," Cooley said.
"So, any offer of Georgian territory or facilities to the United States or to NATO members is an attempt to lock in that kind of security interest and that type of engagement." he added.
Meanwhile, some analysts say the United States doesn’t need about a quarter of the military bases it has around the world.
Moreover, as Wayne Madsen says, the US simply can’t afford them any more.
“We won’t be able to pay for many of these bases and we may soon see many of these being closed down," he said.
Last year, the United States spent almost as much on its military as the rest of the world put together devoted to defence.
And all this at a time when taxpayers have been counting pennies to make ends meet.
But cutting spending on the military, the United States could massively increase the amount it invests in the needs of ordinary people.
But there are analysts who warn that the new president will not dramatically curtail America’s ambitious military policies

Save the Economy by Cutting the Defense Budget
Why the Pentagon is Not a Jobs Engine
By WINSLOW T. WHEELER
As the economic news darkens in the United States, the ideas for stimulating new jobs get worse. A sure-fire way to advance deeper into recession is now being spread around: spend even more on the Department of Defense (DoD). Doing that will not generate new jobs effectively and it will perpetuate serious problems in the Pentagon. The newly inaugurated President Barack Obama would be well advised to go in precisely the opposite direction.
Harvard economist Professor Martin Feldstein has advocated in the Wall Street Journal (‘Defense Spending Would Be Great Stimulus’, 24 December 2008) the addition of USD30 billion or so to the Pentagon’s budget for the purpose of generating 300,000 new jobs. It is my assertion, however, that pushing the DoD as a jobs engine is a mistake.
With its huge overhead costs, glacial payout rates and ultra-high costs of materials, I believe the Pentagon can generate jobs by spending but neither as many nor as soon as is suggested.
A classic foible is Feldstein’s recommendation to surge the economy with “additional funding [that] would allow the [US] Air Force [USAF] to increase the production of fighter planes”.
The USAF has two fighter aircraft in production: the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
The F-22 has reached the end of approved production (with 183 units) but the air force would love at least 60 more. However, even if Congress appropriated today the USD11 billion needed for them, the work would not start until 2010: too late for the stimulus everyone agrees is needed now.
Feldstein thinks it can be otherwise. He is probably thinking of the Second World War model where production lines cranked out thousands of aircraft each month: as fast as the government could stuff money, materials and workers into the assembly line.
The problem is that there is no such assembly line for the F-22.
Although they are fabricated in a large facility where aircraft production hummed in bygone eras, F-22s are today hand-built, pre-Henry Ford style. Go to Lockheed Martin’s plant; you will find no detectable movement of aircraft out the door. Instead you will see virtually stationary aircraft and workers applying parts in a manner more evocative of hand-crafting. This ‘production rate’ generates one F-22 every 18 days or so.
The current rate for the F-35, now at the start of production, is even slower, although the USAF would like to get its rate up to a whopping 10 to 15 aircraft per month.
Why do we not just speed things up?
We can’t.
The specialised materials that the F-22 requires must be purchased a year or two ahead of time and, with advance contracting and all the other regulations that exist today, the Pentagon’s bureaucracy is functionally incapable of speeding production up anytime soon, if ever.
In fact, adding more F-22 production money will not increase the production rate or the total number of jobs involved.
It will simply extend the current F-22 production rate of 20 aircraft per year into the future.
Existing jobs will be saved but no new jobs will be created.
Note also that the USD11 billion that 60 more F-22s would gobble up is more than a third of the USD30 billion that Feldstein wants to give to the DoD. How he would create 300,000 new jobs with the rest of the money is a mystery. More F-22 spending would be a money surge for Lockheed Martin but not a jobs engine for the nation.
Even if one could speed up production of the other fighter, the JSF, it would be stupid to do so. The F-35 is just beginning the testing phase and it has been having some major problems, requiring design changes. That discovery process is far from over. The aircraft should be put into full production after, not before, all the needed modifications are identified.
Over-anxious to push things along much too quickly to permit a ‘fly before you buy’ strategy, the USAF has already scheduled the production of around 500 F-35s before testing is complete. Going even more quickly would make a bad acquisition plan even worse.
Even other economists are sceptical about Feldstein’s numbers. An October 2007 paper from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst found that each USD1 billion spent on defence would generate 8,555 jobs, not the 10,000 calculated by Feldstein. Given the problems with the F-22 just discussed and the lack of jobs I believe it will generate, even this lower estimate sounds extremely optimistic.
More importantly, the same amount of money spent elsewhere would generate more jobs, often better ones, and it would do it faster. For example, according to the above study, USD1 billion in spending for mass transit would generate 19,795 jobs (131 per cent more than for the DoD) and in education would generate 17,687 jobs (107 per cent more) – and the hiring could start in early 2009.
In fact, if employment is the aim, it makes more sense to cut defence spending and use the money in programmes that do it better. As for the defence budget, less money offers the opportunity for reform – just what the doctor ordered. Despite high levels of spending, the combat formations of the services are smaller than at any point since 1946. Major equipment is, on average, older, and, according to key measurables, our forces are less ready to fight.
The F-22 and F-35 programmes typify the broken system that fostered this decline. Real reform would do much more for national security than giving the Pentagon more money to spend poorly.

Is military spending crippling America?
The United States spends hundreds of billions of dollars each year on its military. Part of the budget funds a worldwide network of bases, including sites in former Soviet republics.
The U.S. has 6,000 military bases on its own territory and huge numbers of military facilities abroad - more than any other country in the world.
Experts estimate the number of units to be from 600 to over 800 spread over 130 countries.
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen believes many of the locations are kept secret.
"Recently, there was an incident where an Air Force enlisted man crashed into a wedding procession in Lithuania. It turns out he was attached to an air base in Lithuania. So every day we find out about additional U.S. bases that we haven't heard of in the past," Madsen said.
Why the secrecy? Author and expert in U.S. military bases overseas, Alexander Cooley, says host countries often prefer to keep quiet about the bases.
"As U.S. legitimacy has declined, host country governments have been less willing to publicly be associated with the U.S.," Cooley says.
However, that is not true for all governments.
Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili welcomes the idea of an American presence on Georgian territory and has reportedly offered the U.S. several thousand hectares of land to use for military bases.
Often, smaller countries like former soviet republic, Kyrygyzstan, allow bases to be set up on their territory for financial reasons.
However, the Georgian president is willing to waive rent and has offered the land with a 90-year lease.
"Georgia wants continuous and prolonged security engagement with the United States and with the West more broadly. Especially now that it sees that its path to EuroAtlantic integration has in some way been stymied. It perceives that a security relationship with the U.S. is the best way to guarantee that EuroAtlantic orientation," Cooley said.
"So, any offer of Georgian territory or facilities to the United States or to NATO members is an attempt to lock in that kind of security interest and that type of engagement." he added.
Meanwhile, some analysts say the United States doesn’t need about a quarter of the military bases it has around the world.
Moreover, as Wayne Madsen says, the US simply can’t afford them any more.
“We won’t be able to pay for many of these bases and we may soon see many of these being closed down," he said.
Last year, the United States spent almost as much on its military as the rest of the world put together devoted to defence.
And all this at a time when taxpayers have been counting pennies to make ends meet.
But cutting spending on the military, the United States could massively increase the amount it invests in the needs of ordinary people.
But there are analysts who warn that the new president will not dramatically curtail America’s ambitious military policies

Save the Economy by Cutting the Defense Budget
Why the Pentagon is Not a Jobs Engine
By WINSLOW T. WHEELER
As the economic news darkens in the United States, the ideas for stimulating new jobs get worse. A sure-fire way to advance deeper into recession is now being spread around: spend even more on the Department of Defense (DoD). Doing that will not generate new jobs effectively and it will perpetuate serious problems in the Pentagon. The newly inaugurated President Barack Obama would be well advised to go in precisely the opposite direction.
Harvard economist Professor Martin Feldstein has advocated in the Wall Street Journal (‘Defense Spending Would Be Great Stimulus’, 24 December 2008) the addition of USD30 billion or so to the Pentagon’s budget for the purpose of generating 300,000 new jobs. It is my assertion, however, that pushing the DoD as a jobs engine is a mistake.
With its huge overhead costs, glacial payout rates and ultra-high costs of materials, I believe the Pentagon can generate jobs by spending but neither as many nor as soon as is suggested.
A classic foible is Feldstein’s recommendation to surge the economy with “additional funding [that] would allow the [US] Air Force [USAF] to increase the production of fighter planes”.
The USAF has two fighter aircraft in production: the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).
The F-22 has reached the end of approved production (with 183 units) but the air force would love at least 60 more. However, even if Congress appropriated today the USD11 billion needed for them, the work would not start until 2010: too late for the stimulus everyone agrees is needed now.
Feldstein thinks it can be otherwise. He is probably thinking of the Second World War model where production lines cranked out thousands of aircraft each month: as fast as the government could stuff money, materials and workers into the assembly line.
The problem is that there is no such assembly line for the F-22.
Although they are fabricated in a large facility where aircraft production hummed in bygone eras, F-22s are today hand-built, pre-Henry Ford style. Go to Lockheed Martin’s plant; you will find no detectable movement of aircraft out the door. Instead you will see virtually stationary aircraft and workers applying parts in a manner more evocative of hand-crafting. This ‘production rate’ generates one F-22 every 18 days or so.
The current rate for the F-35, now at the start of production, is even slower, although the USAF would like to get its rate up to a whopping 10 to 15 aircraft per month.

It will simply extend the current F-22 production rate of 20 aircraft per year into the future.

Subpoena issued for Karl Rove
January 26, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) – The House Judiciary Committee chairman subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove on Monday to testify about the Bush administration’s firing of U.S. attorneys and prosecution of a former Democratic governor.
The subpoena by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., continues a long-running legal battle with ex-President Bush’s former White House political director. Rove previously refused to appear before the panel, contending that former presidential advisers cannot be compelled to testify before Congress.
The subpoena commanded Rove to appear for a deposition Feb. 2 on the firings of U.S. attorneys for political reasons. Conyers also demanded testimony on whether politics played a role in the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat.
Bush upheld Rove’s legal position, but Conyers said times have changed.
“That ’absolute immunity’ position ... has been rejected by U.S. District Judge John Bates and President Obama has previously dismissed the claim as ’completely misguided,”’ Conyers said in a statement.

Ball In Obama's Court On Rove's US Attorney Testimony
By Zachary Roth - January 27, 2009, 1:04PM
On the question of whether we'll get to the bottom of the Bush White House's role in the US Attorney firings, it's starting to look more and more like the ball is squarely in President Obama's court.

______________________________________________________
Yesterday, as we noted, House Judiciary chair John Conyers issued a subpoena to Karl Rove, ordering him to testify about the affair February 2nd and declaring ominously: "It's time for him to talk."
(Rove, making a claim to executive privilege backed by President Bush, had defied a subpoena issued by the last Congress. That Congress ended before the full House could vote on contempt charges against Rove.)
And just now, Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, told TPMmuckraker that he had already forwarded Conyers' subpoena to the Obama White House, asking them to give an opinion as to whether President Bush retains his ability to assert executive privilege.
In other words, the Obama White House will decide, essentially, whether to back Rove's claim of privilege, or to deny it. (And given that Rove is supposed to appear February 2, that decision from the White House should come soon.) In the latter case, said Luskin, a negotiation would ensue between the Obama White House, President Bush, and Rove.
That would likely result in the matter going to court.
That's not the only strand of the effort to uncover information about the firings on which Obama will likely have a major say. Conyers is also seeking testimony on the matter from fomer White House officials Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten, who, like Rove, are relying on Bush to claim executive privilege. That case is in court, and the Obama White House is scheduled to file an appeal brief February 18th. That brief may make clear whether it backs the privilege claim for Miers and Bolten, and could help determine the case.
Obama's executive order on presidential records, issued last week, suggests that his White House believes that former presidents do not retain their right to assert executive privilege. But that doesn't mean it's a sure thing that Obama won't uphold Rove's claim, and/or Miers and Bolten's. Either way, we should soon find out.

Conyers to Rove: Time to Talk About US Attorneys
By Zachary Roth -
January 26, 2009, 6:25PM
Last week, we talked to a number of experts who said that President Obama's executive order on presidential records might well affect the ongoing effort to get information about the Bush White House's role in the US Attorney firings.
And it looks like John Conyers is of the same mind.
The House Judiciary chair this afternoon issued a subpoena to Karl Rove to testify before the committee on February 2.
Rove had claimed immunity from an earlier Conyers-issued subpoena, citing executive privilege. As a press release accompanying today's subpoena points out,
"[t]hat "absolute immunity" position was supported by then-President Bush, but it has been rejected by U.S. District Judge John Bates and President Obama has previously dismissed the claim as 'completely misguided.'"
In other words, although Obama's order on records directly addressed only the question of a former president's material docuement -- not testimony from his aides -- there's reason to think that the principle of openness over secrecy that Obama has outlined both in the order and elsewhere could strengthen Conyers' position on this issue.
Said Conyers:
I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its conclusion, whether in Congress or in court, and today's action is an important step along the way. Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it's time for him to talk.
We'll be watching this very closely...

Bush Sent Rove a Letter Saying He Doesn't Have to Testify
Written by Jason Leopold
Monday, 26 January 2009 15:03
By Jason Leopold
George W. Bush is seeking to extend his sweeping concept of executive privilege into his post-presidency, with the first battle likely to be fought over a renewed demand from House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers that Karl Rove finally testify about the politicization of the Justice Department.
On Monday, Conyers reissued a subpoena for Rove, a former White House deputy chief of staff, to testify before Congress about his role in firing nine federal prosecutors deemed not “loyal Bushies” as well as the controversial prosecution of Alabama’s former Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman.
Rove’s attorney, Robert Luskin, told the Washington Post that former President Bush recently sent a letter to Rove reasserting executive privilege that would prevent Rove and possibly other ex-White House officials from testifying.
However, it does appear that Bush is determined to extend his broad claims of executive privilege beyond his departure from the White House on Jan. 20.
Rove "has previously been directed by President Bush not to appear and to assert the president’s claim of executive privilege. And that direction was reiterated by the [Bush-appointed] White House counsel in mid-January,” Luskin said.
In his last years in office, Bush succeeded in frustrating congressional inquiries by asserting a sweeping interpretation of executive privilege, a tradition that grants some confidentiality for advice between the President and his top aides. Bush expanded the scope of the privilege to include even discussions among his subordinates inside and outside the White House.
In September 2008, U.S. District Judge John Bates rejected Bush’s position, saying the concept of blanket executive privilege lacked legal precedent.
“The Executive cannot identify a single judicial opinion that recognizes absolute immunity for senior presidential advisors in this or any other context,” wrote Bates, a Bush appointee. "In fact, there is Supreme Court authority that is all but conclusive on this question and that powerfully suggests that such advisors do not enjoy absolute immunity.”
However, Bush’s lawyers appealed Bates’s ruling to a Republican-dominated Appeals Court panel in Washington that relied on a technicality – the looming adjournment of the 110th Congress – to declare the issue moot.
At the time, Conyers promised not to let the issue drop, and his announcement that he is reissuing the Rove subpoena under the 111th Congress indicates the case may soon return to the federal courts.
“I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its conclusion, whether in Congress or in court,” Conyers said in a prepared statement. “Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it’s time for him to talk.”
The subpoena demands that Rove appear before Congress for a deposition on Feb. 2, at 10 a.m. But it appears unlikely Rove, who was considered Bush's political guru, will show up to give testimony to the committee.
Conyers’s Judiciary Committee also has pursued testimony and documents from Bush’s last White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers about their involvement in the decision to fire the federal prosecutors. It is believed subpoenas will be issued for their testimony as well in the weeks ahead.
Rove as Victim
In public comments, Rove has presented himself as the victim of a Democratic witch-hunt, particularly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Fox News’ Chris Wallace two weeks ago that she supported a renewed probe into the politicization of the Justice Department.
“I think that we have to learn from the past, and we cannot let the politicizing of the — for example, the Justice Department, to go unreviewed. Past is prologue. We learn from it," Pelosi said.
Rove, a Fox News contributor, was asked about the exchange and said Pelosi was out to get him.
"What do you think she's talking about?" Rove said. "Who do you think she was pointing a finger towards? Read carefully the description of who she said we ought to be looking at."
Rove’s lawyer Luskin argued that Rove and other Bush administration officials are protected by an umbrella of executive privilege that extends past the end of Bush’s term.
"It's generally agreed that former presidents retain executive privilege as to matters occurring during their term," Luskin said. "We'll solicit the views of the new White House counsel and, if there is a disagreement, assume that the matter will be resolved among the courts, the President and the former President."
However, President Barack Obama stated during Campaign 2008 that he believed Bush was overreaching with his claims of executive privilege. On his first full day in office, Obama also signed an executive order reining in the power of former presidents to keep their historical records secret.
Obama directed the National Archives and Records Administration to consult with the Justice Department and White House counsel "concerning the Archivist's determination as to whether to honor the former President's claim of privilege or instead to disclose the presidential records notwithstanding the claim of privilege."
Theoretically, the standoff could lead to the arrests of Bush administration officials who refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas, though that practice has not been employed in recent times. Traditionally, disputes over executive privilege are resolved through negotiations, but Bush’s position was so broad that talks between Congress and the White House broke down.
Last year, Rove made an end-around against Democratic leaders by having his denial of sponsoring Siegelman’s prosecution inserted into the Congressional Record by Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Judiciary Committee’s ranking Republican.
In written responses to questions from Smith, Rove denied speaking to anyone “either directly or indirectly” at the Justice Department or to Alabama state officials about bringing corruption charges against Siegelman.
Siegelman was convicted of corruption in 2006, but was released from prison on bond in March 2008 after an appeals court ruled that “substantial questions” about the case could very well result in a new trial or a dismissal.
Siegelman has long maintained that Rove was intimately involved in the prosecution and other attempts to blunt Democratic southern inroads that Siegelman’s governorship represented.
In an interview with The Anniston Star on May 18, 2008, Siegelman said Rove first targeted him in 1998.
“It started when Karl Rove's bag man, I call him, Jack Abramoff, started putting Indian casino money into Alabama to defeat me in 1998,” Siegelman told the newspaper. “Shortly after I endorsed Al Gore in 1999, Karl Rove's client, the attorney general of Alabama (Bill Pryor) started an investigation.
“In 2001, Karl Rove's business associate and political partner's wife, Leura Canary, became a U.S. Attorney and started a federal investigation,” Siegelman said. “It started with the attorney general and the state investigation, followed by the federal investigation, followed by indictments in 2004, and then another series of indictments leading up to the 2006 election.”
On Monday, several Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee said if Rove refuses to comply with the subpoena this time they will urge Conyers to have Rove arrested.

______________________________________________________
Yesterday, as we noted, House Judiciary chair John Conyers issued a subpoena to Karl Rove, ordering him to testify about the affair February 2nd and declaring ominously: "It's time for him to talk."
(Rove, making a claim to executive privilege backed by President Bush, had defied a subpoena issued by the last Congress. That Congress ended before the full House could vote on contempt charges against Rove.)
And just now, Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, told TPMmuckraker that he had already forwarded Conyers' subpoena to the Obama White House, asking them to give an opinion as to whether President Bush retains his ability to assert executive privilege.
In other words, the Obama White House will decide, essentially, whether to back Rove's claim of privilege, or to deny it. (And given that Rove is supposed to appear February 2, that decision from the White House should come soon.) In the latter case, said Luskin, a negotiation would ensue between the Obama White House, President Bush, and Rove.
That would likely result in the matter going to court.
That's not the only strand of the effort to uncover information about the firings on which Obama will likely have a major say. Conyers is also seeking testimony on the matter from fomer White House officials Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten, who, like Rove, are relying on Bush to claim executive privilege. That case is in court, and the Obama White House is scheduled to file an appeal brief February 18th. That brief may make clear whether it backs the privilege claim for Miers and Bolten, and could help determine the case.
Obama's executive order on presidential records, issued last week, suggests that his White House believes that former presidents do not retain their right to assert executive privilege. But that doesn't mean it's a sure thing that Obama won't uphold Rove's claim, and/or Miers and Bolten's. Either way, we should soon find out.

Conyers to Rove: Time to Talk About US Attorneys
By Zachary Roth -
January 26, 2009, 6:25PM
Last week, we talked to a number of experts who said that President Obama's executive order on presidential records might well affect the ongoing effort to get information about the Bush White House's role in the US Attorney firings.
And it looks like John Conyers is of the same mind.
The House Judiciary chair this afternoon issued a subpoena to Karl Rove to testify before the committee on February 2.
Rove had claimed immunity from an earlier Conyers-issued subpoena, citing executive privilege. As a press release accompanying today's subpoena points out,
"[t]hat "absolute immunity" position was supported by then-President Bush, but it has been rejected by U.S. District Judge John Bates and President Obama has previously dismissed the claim as 'completely misguided.'"
In other words, although Obama's order on records directly addressed only the question of a former president's material docuement -- not testimony from his aides -- there's reason to think that the principle of openness over secrecy that Obama has outlined both in the order and elsewhere could strengthen Conyers' position on this issue.
Said Conyers:
I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its conclusion, whether in Congress or in court, and today's action is an important step along the way. Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it's time for him to talk.
We'll be watching this very closely...

Bush Sent Rove a Letter Saying He Doesn't Have to Testify
Written by Jason Leopold
Monday, 26 January 2009 15:03
By Jason Leopold
George W. Bush is seeking to extend his sweeping concept of executive privilege into his post-presidency, with the first battle likely to be fought over a renewed demand from House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers that Karl Rove finally testify about the politicization of the Justice Department.
On Monday, Conyers reissued a subpoena for Rove, a former White House deputy chief of staff, to testify before Congress about his role in firing nine federal prosecutors deemed not “loyal Bushies” as well as the controversial prosecution of Alabama’s former Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman.
Rove’s attorney, Robert Luskin, told the Washington Post that former President Bush recently sent a letter to Rove reasserting executive privilege that would prevent Rove and possibly other ex-White House officials from testifying.
However, it does appear that Bush is determined to extend his broad claims of executive privilege beyond his departure from the White House on Jan. 20.
Rove "has previously been directed by President Bush not to appear and to assert the president’s claim of executive privilege. And that direction was reiterated by the [Bush-appointed] White House counsel in mid-January,” Luskin said.
In his last years in office, Bush succeeded in frustrating congressional inquiries by asserting a sweeping interpretation of executive privilege, a tradition that grants some confidentiality for advice between the President and his top aides. Bush expanded the scope of the privilege to include even discussions among his subordinates inside and outside the White House.
In September 2008, U.S. District Judge John Bates rejected Bush’s position, saying the concept of blanket executive privilege lacked legal precedent.
“The Executive cannot identify a single judicial opinion that recognizes absolute immunity for senior presidential advisors in this or any other context,” wrote Bates, a Bush appointee. "In fact, there is Supreme Court authority that is all but conclusive on this question and that powerfully suggests that such advisors do not enjoy absolute immunity.”
However, Bush’s lawyers appealed Bates’s ruling to a Republican-dominated Appeals Court panel in Washington that relied on a technicality – the looming adjournment of the 110th Congress – to declare the issue moot.
At the time, Conyers promised not to let the issue drop, and his announcement that he is reissuing the Rove subpoena under the 111th Congress indicates the case may soon return to the federal courts.
“I have said many times that I will carry this investigation forward to its conclusion, whether in Congress or in court,” Conyers said in a prepared statement. “Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it. After two years of stonewalling, it’s time for him to talk.”
The subpoena demands that Rove appear before Congress for a deposition on Feb. 2, at 10 a.m. But it appears unlikely Rove, who was considered Bush's political guru, will show up to give testimony to the committee.
Conyers’s Judiciary Committee also has pursued testimony and documents from Bush’s last White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers about their involvement in the decision to fire the federal prosecutors. It is believed subpoenas will be issued for their testimony as well in the weeks ahead.
Rove as Victim
In public comments, Rove has presented himself as the victim of a Democratic witch-hunt, particularly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Fox News’ Chris Wallace two weeks ago that she supported a renewed probe into the politicization of the Justice Department.
“I think that we have to learn from the past, and we cannot let the politicizing of the — for example, the Justice Department, to go unreviewed. Past is prologue. We learn from it," Pelosi said.
Rove, a Fox News contributor, was asked about the exchange and said Pelosi was out to get him.
"What do you think she's talking about?" Rove said. "Who do you think she was pointing a finger towards? Read carefully the description of who she said we ought to be looking at."
Rove’s lawyer Luskin argued that Rove and other Bush administration officials are protected by an umbrella of executive privilege that extends past the end of Bush’s term.
"It's generally agreed that former presidents retain executive privilege as to matters occurring during their term," Luskin said. "We'll solicit the views of the new White House counsel and, if there is a disagreement, assume that the matter will be resolved among the courts, the President and the former President."
However, President Barack Obama stated during Campaign 2008 that he believed Bush was overreaching with his claims of executive privilege. On his first full day in office, Obama also signed an executive order reining in the power of former presidents to keep their historical records secret.
Obama directed the National Archives and Records Administration to consult with the Justice Department and White House counsel "concerning the Archivist's determination as to whether to honor the former President's claim of privilege or instead to disclose the presidential records notwithstanding the claim of privilege."
Theoretically, the standoff could lead to the arrests of Bush administration officials who refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas, though that practice has not been employed in recent times. Traditionally, disputes over executive privilege are resolved through negotiations, but Bush’s position was so broad that talks between Congress and the White House broke down.
Last year, Rove made an end-around against Democratic leaders by having his denial of sponsoring Siegelman’s prosecution inserted into the Congressional Record by Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Judiciary Committee’s ranking Republican.
In written responses to questions from Smith, Rove denied speaking to anyone “either directly or indirectly” at the Justice Department or to Alabama state officials about bringing corruption charges against Siegelman.
Siegelman was convicted of corruption in 2006, but was released from prison on bond in March 2008 after an appeals court ruled that “substantial questions” about the case could very well result in a new trial or a dismissal.
Siegelman has long maintained that Rove was intimately involved in the prosecution and other attempts to blunt Democratic southern inroads that Siegelman’s governorship represented.
In an interview with The Anniston Star on May 18, 2008, Siegelman said Rove first targeted him in 1998.
“It started when Karl Rove's bag man, I call him, Jack Abramoff, started putting Indian casino money into Alabama to defeat me in 1998,” Siegelman told the newspaper. “Shortly after I endorsed Al Gore in 1999, Karl Rove's client, the attorney general of Alabama (Bill Pryor) started an investigation.
“In 2001, Karl Rove's business associate and political partner's wife, Leura Canary, became a U.S. Attorney and started a federal investigation,” Siegelman said. “It started with the attorney general and the state investigation, followed by the federal investigation, followed by indictments in 2004, and then another series of indictments leading up to the 2006 election.”
On Monday, several Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee said if Rove refuses to comply with the subpoena this time they will urge Conyers to have Rove arrested.

STUART LEVEY, ASSOCIATE OF PAULSON, IN CHARGE OF THE U.S. TREASURY
The Acting Secretary of the US Treasury, pending confirmation or otherwise by the Senate (scheduled for Monday, 26th January 2009) is Stuart Levey.
Mr Levey, as an ally of the former US Treasury Secretary, Henry M. Paulson, Jr., is continuing the policy of waging economic terrorism against the United States and the world perpetrated by his former boss – a financial criminal operative and economic terrorist who spent his time in office pillaging, diverting, seizing and otherwise exploiting the funds of others, in collaboration with his ‘bosses’, former President George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush Sr. – the most dangerous, reckless and deeply corrupt operative ever to have haunted the White House, the possible exception being his eldest son....
...Until Mr Geithner’s confirmation by the Senate, the position prevailing since Mr Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States, is therefore that an associate of Paulson-Bush-Bush-Clinton is the Acting US Treasury Secretary – so that there has so far been NO DISCONTINUITY in respect of the Bush Sr.-directed strategy of sabotaging the G-7-Approved Refunding Programme, upon which the future of the United States and the whole world depends. This dirty policy has also notoriously included selective blocking of the Settlements.
EXPLANATION OF THE HOLD-UP OF GEITHNER’S SENATE RATIFICATION
So the question arises: what is the motive behind the US Senate Republicans’ hang-up about Geithner’s $34,000 of previously unpaid taxes? This man, who has resigned his position on the Federal Reserve Board, continues as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the FRBNY) without this old tax issue jeopardising his ‘service’ in any way. If he is a ‘fit person’ to serve as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, logic suggests that, on the same criteria, he would be a ‘fit person’ to serve as the Secretary of the US Treasury.
Which, of course, reveals that the ‘old unpaid tax’ issue is a ruse.
And what would be the self-evidently doomed purpose of any such reckless ruse?
Why, to ensure that the Treasury remains in the hands of the Paulson-Bush-Clinton-Cheney Cabal long enough for the really big money – the $6.2 trillion of LOAN funds earmarked for the Group-of-Seven-Approved Refunding Programme, and the further $7.8 trillion of sovereign funds earmarked to finance the Settlements – to be diverted, stolen or whatever other verb you might prefer, under the nose of President Barack Obama.
In this connection, repeated reports of elements of the Settlements payouts having been initiated, of packages being delivered, of recipients being unable to access funds, and so forth, are not the subject of this report (a) because those issues are not germane to the purpose of this report and (b) because none of these reports can be confirmed.
Our notes show that we have in fact received identical reports from non-Internet sources of exactly the same ‘deliveries’ taking place at intervals of almost exactly two months, almost as though there is a bimonthly cycle governing these dubious reports – which represent a ‘we’ll pay you tomorrow’ contrivance associated with the Ponzi model whereby a constituency of investors has to be kept permanently at bay, to prevent them reaching for their pitchforks simultaneously, and precipitating exposure of the scams, and collapse.
Nevertheless, it is a FACT that $7.8 trillion (of the $14 trillion) exists and does remain ‘locked down’, bundled with the $6.2 trillion LOAN money for the Refunding Programme, earmarked for the funding of the Settlements.
OBJECTIVE: CONTINUED CONTROL OF THE TREASURY BY PAULSON-BUSH
If the Senators who are holding up Geithner’s confirmation in the Senate are successful in their apparent attempt to stall the appointment of the new Treasury Secretary, the outcome of such a development, namely the continuing de facto direction of the Treasury by the compromised Mr Stuart Levey, will have the parallel consequence of identifying those Senators involved as co-conspirators and Accessories to the Fact of ongoing financial frauds and diversionary activities, and of an operation believed to be directed at the theft and the diversion of trillions of dollars belonging to HM The Queen, the Chinese parties, and the Saudi Arabian Prince, and maybe the Settlement funds, as well.
TIMOTHY GEITHNER HAS TURNED STATE’S EVIDENCE
Underlying this hidden objective is the fact that, to protect himself and ensure the protection that he needs by virtue of his prospective situation as US Treasury Secretary, Mr Timothy Geithner was reported to us on 16th January 2009 to have turned State’s evidence and has been spilling many sensitive beans which have been, are, and will continue to be, of extreme ongoing concern to the aforementioned criminalist financial fraudsters and financiers of global terrorism and to the ever diminishing numbers of their associates.
We have previously reported and continue to believe that the assets of many of the world-class criminals around the world have been frozen. As noted earlier, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has acted as agent for G. Bush Sr. guarding ‘his’ assets within Germany’s largest bank. However this stance went sour as it became evident last fall that Frau Merkel risked a complete breach with President Sarkozy of France, who was then also President of the European Union, against the background of (a) Anthony Blair’s decision to ‘roll over’ last year when placed under extreme pressure by the Speaker of the House of Commons, as we reported, and (b) M. Sarkozy’s so-called ‘mandate to pay’ wrenched from former criminalist President Bush Jr. during a tense meeting at Camp David.
PRESIDENT OBAMA WORKING TIRELESSLY TO PROCURE RESOLUTION
Following the election, and later the Electoral College confirmation, of Barack Obama’s elevation to the Presidency of the United States, sources have reiterated that Mr Obama, having emphatically rebuffed the blatant bribery offer from Bush and Cheney during his first visit to the White House on 10th November 2008, was quickly seized of the gravity of the situation surrounding the blocking and abuse of the LOAN funds and of the Settlements (at least, those which are meant to be paid, led by the farm investors who began legal action for the theft of their funds as far back as 1989).
On several occasions late last year, and specifically on 12th January 2009, we were explicitly and repeatedly informed that Mr Obama was working hard behind the scenes to procure the payments for both the Refunding Programme and the relevant Settlements – an assessment that was then reconfirmed as a result of our further enquiries on that date....
NO SUCH THING AS A ‘FORMER’ U.S. OPERATIVE OR C.I.A. DIRECTOR
Nor is it any great surprise that the Bush-controlled (Dachau-oriented) elements of the criminalised Central Intelligence Agency, the Langley, VA, building of which is named the George Bush Center for Intelligence, remain, with parallel elements of the National Security Agency (NSA), dedicated to frustrating the G7-Approved Refunding Plan in collaboration with the Bush-Clinton Fraud Cabal....
DESPERATE WORLD CLASS CRIMINALS PURSUING SAMSON OPTION: NOTHING TO LOSE
In this context, what these ‘Black’ forces are thought to be engaged in doing ‘as we speak’, can be summarised as follows:
• The Bush-Clinton Cabal, with their CIA and NSA criminalist associates, are actually attempting to collapse the entire international financial economy so that they can then recover the funds that have been stolen, but which, to their dismay, were progressively frozen around the world as this crisis escalated from June-September 2007 onwards. If you have stamina, you are invited to browse around in our reports from June 2007 and the rest of that year, so as to pick up some of the threads which emerged when we were assisting Wanta before we were typically double-crossed (2).
The Wantagate reports prised an immense amount of dirt that was ‘never supposed to come out’ (3) into the public domain, and set the scene for the days of reckoning that have followed (4).
• The unspeakably evil, mad thinking behind this continuing Bush-Clinton-CIA offensive is that in the event of a total collapse, the stolen funds would have to be placed into circulation, and the fiat money generated by the layered fraudulent finance derivatives-linked contracts and transactions would have to be valued, so that in the end, they would all supposedly ‘get their money back’.
• Details of a corrupt sequence of events, given below, reveal that so as to acquire cash in hand with which to bribe domestic and foreign officials and bankers to continue corrupt ‘business as usual’, $12.8 billion was diverted/stolen on or around 20th January 2008, winding up at a bank in Tyler, Texas, into the hands of a member of the Bush family operating in Canada. The Bush-Clinton Crime Cabal cannot hope to achieve anything without an ample pool of bribery money, which the narrative below indicates they may have tried to replenish – as usual, through blatant theft.
• The continued recalcitrance of this ‘Black’ Cabal and their CIA/NSA and banking sector cadres (more and more of whom have been and continued to be ‘neutralised’ and arrested since we last reported) presupposes that these mad people are continuing their track record of financing and perpetrating terrorism. Economic Warfare under the relevant legislation is TERRORISM.
These evil people are accordingly, as we have said many times before, engaged in waging a war of terror against the President of the United States, the people of the United States, the US Federal Government, foreign Governments and the whole world.
BRITISH MINISTER CALLS FOR CORRUPT BANKERS TO BE ARRESTED
And in the face of this intransigence, and the feckless weakness of the relevant US authorities in treating the three criminal Presidents as though they are untouchable gods, the noise of scales belatedly falling from the eyes of government Ministers is becoming deafening. For instance, for the first time – no less than 40 months late – a British Government Minister (Lord Myners) was reported by The Times, London, on 24th January, to have demanded the arrest and indictment of British bankers engaged in fraudulent finance practices.
It is worth paying attention to the following, before we continue the narrative exposure which links the verified theft mentioned above directly to the Bush Crime Family.
So, to set the scene for what follows, we quote from the British newspaper’s front page report:
‘A furious onslaught on banking’s “masters of the universe” has been unleashed by Gordon Brown’s City Minister. Too many bankers fail to realise they are grossly over-rewarded and have no sense of society… Lord Myners says that the banks have been mismanaged, and [has delivered] the strongest attack [by UK officials] so far on those responsible’.
‘He also revealed that the UK banking system was close to collapse before the first bailout was announced. “We were very close on Friday, October 10. There were two or three hours when things felt very bad, nervous and fragile. Major depositors were trying to withdraw – and willing to pay penalties for early withdrawal – from a number of large banks”.....
In view of the fact that we have been reporting arrests of bankers until we are blue in the face (with more reported below), this outburst, late in the day as it is, represents evidence that the too slow-to-come-to-its-senses UK official sector has at long last been shocked into the realisation that this is a CORRUPTION CRISIS first and foremost.
ALL RESPONSES SHOULD BE BASED ON THIS PREMISE, rather than on the more palatable presumption that this is ‘simply’ a systemic global financial crisis of the utmost gravity.
YET A BLIND EYE WAS PREVIOUSLY TURNED TO OUTRAGEOUS LOANS
Quite why senior UK Government officials have been so shocked at what has emerged to date, which may be nothing compared to what may follow, is a mystery. After all, due diligence should have revealed that ABN Amro – an institution chock full of exotic and toxic assets, purchased in a mad rush of blood to the head by now discredited bankers at Royal Bank of Scotland – had lent the notorious Soviet KGB-GRU ‘oligarch’ Leonid Blatavnik £2.5 billion to help shore up this notorious criminalist’s troubled chemicals corporation, LyondellBasell.
Further due diligence should have revealed the fact that Mr Blatavnik had been named in a suit brought by Norex Petroleum Limited, owned by J.I.V. LLC, organised under the laws of California, and filed with the United States Southern District Court for the Southern District of New York on 25th February 2002 in connection with the theft of Yugraneft, an oil subsidiary of Norex, by means of fraud, physical violence and massive corruption, in the context of a quite extraordinarily complex money-laundering scheme that was exposed in complete detail in International Currency Review, Volume 29, #s 3 & 4, published in March 2004.
Other plaintiffs listed in that lawsuit included the KGB operations Access Industries, Inc., Renova Inc., Alfa Group Consortium, Alfa Group Holdings, and the Tyumen Oil Company, together with the covert Soviet operatives Victor Vekselberg, Simon (Semen) Kukes (an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences), Joseph Bakaleynik and Elliot Spitz.
Moreover, to assist all enquiries, our journal, to which the British Treasury and City institutions subscribe, contained a diagram explaining the money-laundering operation perpetrated via Crown Finance Corporation (of Liechtenstein), Crown Resources AG, Crown Trade and Finance Limited, Crown Commodities Limited and a total of 17 named subsidiaries operating out of the Isle of Man, Bahamas and Panama.
Our report clearly identified all the relevant KGB individuals and entities, plus a whole series of corrupt, orchestrated Russian bankruptcies (in order to redistribute property) of Nizhnevartovsk Nefte Gaz, Kondpetroleum and Chernogorneft (subsidiaries of the Russian oil company Sidanco), an ongoing pattern of racketeering activities, the ‘formation and execution of a scheme and artifice to defraud, acts of extortion, bribery and threatened violence’, and money-laundering on a scale never previously exposed.
On 29th June 2001, Alexander Berman, an officer of a TNK affiliate, accompanied by six so-called attorneys and at least 16 thugs wearing military-style fatigues and balaclava helmets and armed with machine guns, invaded Yugraneft’s offices in Nizhnevartovsk and informed employees there that Yugraneft had been taken over by TNK, and that they must immediately sign employee agreements with TNK, or leave.
Given such glaring confirmation of the mentioned banks’ involvement with organised corruption, the laziness, complacency and naïveté on this score of British Government Ministers and officials appears beyond belief. This entire crisis is a consequence of open-ended corruption, and the banks are consequently engulfed in a systemic corruption holocaust of their own making.
EUROPEAN INSTITUTION CALLS ONE-THIRD OF DERIVATIVES GUARANTEES
But if Lord Myners thought that the British banking system was close to collapse on 10th October, one would be most interested to know what he thought on or about 15th January 2009, when an extremely large European institution DEMANDED from an even larger US financial institution, the IMMEDIATE transfer of a sum equivalent to ONE-THIRD OF THE TOTAL NOTIONAL VALUE OF ALL DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS OUTSTANDING – which amounts to a figure approaching $700 trillion.
• In other words, the European institution DEMANDED the IMMEDIATE transfer for its account of approximately $230 trillion. No further information about this has been forthcoming.
This DEMAND reflected the hyper-sensitive reality that the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC), owned by a group of US Money Center banks and inter alia also by the huge European bank which purchased the clearing facilities of the mentioned US giga-institution, has guaranteed the outstanding derivatives contracts to the aforementioned value of approximately $700 trillion.
The European institution was therefore fully within its rights to call the total guaranteed value of the revelant portion of these derivatives contracts held within its toxic portfolio (5), given the operation of law and its evident (and justified) expectation that the entire convoluted mountain of derivatives contracts and transactions (of which the DTCC boasted last year that it had processed transactions worth $1.8 quadrillion (6)) was about to be exposed as being worth nothing at all.
The forthcoming issue of International Currency Review [Volume 34, Number 2] will illustrate, with flow-charts, why this deduction is accurate. We happen also to know, as previously reported, that the regional US Federal Reserve Banks (not the FRBNY and the Federal Reserve Board) agree with this assessment.
WHY FINANCE FOR THE PONZI CAROUSEL DRIED UP IN MID-SEPTEMBER 2008
So, if Lord Myners was scared by the events of 10th October last year, one wonders indeed what his assessment of the current situation is liable to be. The October crisis, of course, was triggered by the ‘lockdown’ of the $14.0 trillion of LOAN money effective 12th September 2008, after certain steps had been taken in Britain some six days earlier to protect the funds placed ON LOAN for the purposes of financing the refunding of the US dollar and thereby the global financial and trading system which is starved of real cash-cash funds. These funds were originally provided by the Chinese parties, Her Majesty The Queen, and Prince Al-Aweed Al-Talal of Saudi Arabia.
Following the seizure on 2nd June 2008 by the Metropolitan Police assisted by 300 armed police marksmen, of the ‘Safety Lock Box’ centres in Mayfair, Edgeware and Hampstead, Central London, harbouring over 7,000 lock boxes which contained much of the stolen and other illicit collateral applied to underpin the London carousel platform consolidated under Tony Blair in collaboration with George Bush Sr., through the auspices of Monaco-based Bernie Ecclestone (Monaco is a key CIA corrupt finance center), the collateral basis for the carousel of exotic fraudulent Ponzi finance had already been removed – leaving the separate earmarked $14.0 trillion as the only cash-cash source of underlying liquidity for these Ponzi operations.
When those funds were decisively placed out of reach effective 12th September 2008, two things happened:
----(1) Liquidity on the exotic Ponzi funding marketplace dried up altogether, unmasking prominent components of the Ponzi environment headed by the Master Ponzi outlet run by Madoff; and
----(2) the Editor received the ‘triple gunshot’ death threat on his voicemail on 20th September.
On 6th October, the Editor was warned ‘to be very careful’.
However during the Editor’s visit to the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings and subsequently, he received appropriate protection.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HEAVILY ENGAGED AND ‘UP TO SPEED’
Now, the incoming Obama Administration, being fully seized of the situation, has not wavered in its behind-the-scenes activity to procure the unavoidable and necessary outcomes, namely the full financing via the LOAN funds of the Refinancing Programme, and such Settlements payments as are to be permitted (7).
This FACT was conveyed to us by no less than THREE impeccable sources late in the evening UK time on Friday 23rd January. President Obama and relevant colleagues have, however, continued, as was the case prior to the Inauguration, to encounter bitter resistance from the Bush-Cheney-Clinton Crime Nexus and their allies at US and foreign banks, the Federal Reserve Board, and within the tainted US official structures – which includes the US Treasury, overseen for the time being by Mr Stuart Levey.
TOP NEW YORK FEDERAL RESERVE OFFICIALS ARRESTED:
ROBERT ARMENTA OFFERED CHOICE BETWEEN 25 YEARS IN JAIL
IF HE REVEALS ALL HE KNOWS, AND 99 YEARS IN JAIL OTHERWISE
Symptomatic of this bovine rearguard resistance were the overdue arrests of the following senior officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday 23rd January 2009:
• Robert Armenta, Senior Compliance Officer, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, mentioned in our report dated 19th December 2006. On his arrest, Mr Armenta was informed that he would likely be jailed for 25 years if he cooperates and ‘sings’, BUT THAT HE WOULD BE INCARCERATED FOR 99 YEARS IF HE REFUSED.
No doubt this is a turn of events of which Stuart Levey will have no choice but to take immediate account, as he considers whether it is in his best interests to continue with the blocking strategy of his former boss, Henry M. Paulson Jr. – or whether it would be prudent, to put it mildly, for him to accommodate the specific requirements of President Barack Obama in respect of the Refunding Programme and the Settlements.
In making up his mind about which course to follow, the fact that Timothy Geithner has turned State’s evidence should also be a potent factor in his deliberations.
• Christopher J. McCurdy, Senior Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in charge of the payments policy function at the Bank, was also arrested on 23rd January 2009. Mr McCurdy is reported to have destroyed the release codes for the Refunding Programme and Settlement funds, which is specifically why he was arrested. CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH BEHAVIOUR? Surely, 99 years would not be enough for such criminal sabotage.
We are also expecting further arrests at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to materialise.
EXPOSURE OF A BUSH SR. OPERATION TO STEAL $12.8 BILLION
We will now explain in detail how these Fed arrests came to pass, and how the trail exposes an operation masterminded by George Bush Sr. to steal $12.8 billion, which we believe was targeted to provide the Bush ‘Black’ operatives and associates with funds to replenish a depleted ‘bribery pot’ needed, even at this late stage, to corrupt bankers and others at home and abroad.
Specifically, a California-based shareholder of outstanding shares of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (a Nevada-based corporation traded on the OTC market as CMKX) exposed to us on 18th January 2009 the involvement of a Mr William A Frazell, of Attorneys Frazell & Mosley PLL (Austin, TX), Mr Kevin West (the Chief Executive Officer of CMKX) and Mr Urban Casavant, of Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, in connection with the receipt of over $12 billion being the proceeds of a settlement with CMKM/CMKX, known to the Securities and Exchange Commission following a lawsuit concerning ‘naked short-selling activities’.
The California-based shareholder, who is an Attorney, advised us that CMKM/CMKX was very recently ‘converted out’ from Nevada and moved to Tyler, Texas – a corporate move of which the outstanding registered shareholders, who own more than 800 billion shares, were never legally informed. As noted, the source is a holder of outstanding shares in the Nevada-based corporation.
Our sources confirm that Attorney Frazell, acting for and on behalf of CMKM/CMKX, paid a certain shareholder a sum of money equivalent to $0.02 (two cents in the dollar) per share and that the shareholder was made to sign a non-disclosure document demanded by Attorney Frazell, which allegedly denies any information to the remaining outstanding shareholders.
Non-disclosure documents are essentially illegal and are of no effect, rendering the transaction itself null and void (which is the case anyway, as the payout is fraudulent).
Consequent upon this operation, we were advised that $12.8 billion of Settlement funds are or were initially missing and unaccounted for, while the Attorney, W. A. Frazell, was not cooperating with the other shareholders in any attempt to identify the location of these missing funds. On 20th January 2009, it was confirmed that 639 billion shares were paid out at a price of $0.02 per share, equating to a total payout of $12,780,000,000.
The significance of this detail is that, in an earlier conversation with the authorities, the city of Tyler, Texas had only recently been mentioned in the context of the release of ‘settlement funds’, and in the context of known activities of Bush Sr. associates in Dallas, Austin, and Crawford County, Texas and the relevant background involving Delmarva Timber Trust et al.
The 639 billion shares that were sold short were sold WITH the knowledge of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the relevant lawsuit concluded in late 2007, settlement funds were to be paid out to all holders of outstanding CMKM/CMKX shares.
Instead of which Attorney Wiliam A. Frazell is reported to us to have taken receipt of the full $12.8 billion in a sham operation in which he signed off illegally on a settlement of $0.02 per share without informing the shareholders. We are advised that these funds were channnelled to the control of a member of the Bush Crime Family operating in Canada.
Specifically, at the direction of George H. W. Bush Sr., these funds were shifted under pretext of a settlement with the knowledge of the SEC from someone else’s account, in typical accordance with the standard Ponzi Scheme model.
The Tyler, TX, Police had to respond immediately because Attorney Frazell had allegedly been contacted by a CMKM Diamonds, Inc. shareholder who happened to be a former agent for the Internal Revenue Service.
The former IRS agent notified Attorney Frazell that the funds had been collected and held by the Despository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) (according to the DTCC), whereupon the former IRS agent was offered a settlement by Frazell; and the non-disclosure document (which is null and void in practice, as the agent will have known) was signed. This information was incorporated with the police complaint report furnished to the Chief of Police in Tyler, Texas.
The DTCC are reported to have separately confirmed that they were and still are, holding funds for the settlement in question.
The Chief of Police in Tyler, TX, was actually notified of this theft/diversion on 22nd January, when documents were submitted to the local police for the purposes of investigation and making the necessary arrests.
• It was as a direct consequence of these developments that Robert Armenta and Christopher J. McMurdy of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, were arrested on 23rd January.
BUSH SR. ET AL. GRASPING AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL FUNDS
This sequence of events confirms the first proven instance in which a crossover has been verified between the issue of the mishandling of the Refunding and Settlement funds and (in this instance), an entity such as CMKM/CMKX – a linkage which expert analysts inform us means that Bush Sr. and his associates are desperately exploiting every human asset at their disposal (or who can still be bribed), to locate funds that can then be stolen.
This in turn raises yet again the issue: are these former US Presidents gods who have earned carte blanche, buttressed by bribery, to continue pillaging and conducting financial terrorist operations against fellow Americans and the Rest of the World until they die? Are these people – the Bushes, former President Clinton, Cheney, Paulson, Bernanke, Greenspan et al. – considered to be the equivalent of ancient Greek Immortals?
As far as we can tell, they possess two wrists each, both of which can be cuffed with ease.
So what is the problem?

_____________________________
As previously requested, sane Americans, and the Rest of the World, would like an immediate answer to this question, before, as these criminal terrorists intend, we all go to hell.
The Daily Telegraph, London, displayed warnings that Britain is on the edge of DEPRESSION, on its front page for 24th January 2008. We aren’t on the edge of it: we’re in it: and the reason for this is that London has been used as the primary external platform by Bush-Blair for the derivatives hypothecation Ponzi scamming orgy.
AMBIVALENT POSITION OF THE DOUBLE-MINDED CLINTONS UNDER OBAMA
No doubt former President Clinton, the illegitimate son of Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, has, as we implied in the preceding report, been warned by the Rockefeller family that his ongoing criminal finance behaviour poses an immediate and devastating threat to JPMorganChase, which has more derivatives exposure than any other institution in the world.
If so, it is possible that the Clintons may have been decoupled from the Bushes (as the ‘capture’ of Mrs Clinton in her State Department box, might suggest).
On the other hand, as usual, the Clintons’ inherent double-mindedness may suggest that they may also imagine that they would benefit, assuming survival, from the total collapse possibly envisaged by the Bush Crime Family and their cadres – in the light of a mad expectation that the worthless derivatives would then have to be valued and released.
Some such fantasy could go some way towards explaining the Clintons’ apparently ambivalent positions vis-à-vis the Obama accession, given that the Bush Family has now been written off by those ‘in the know‘ – even as the Bush Patriarch struggles like a maddened hyena to claw back funds stolen from newly identified vulnerable sources, to replace the stolen funds that he has lost.
Intervening in and falsifying a nice juicy court-ordered settlement process through the services of a bent Attorney, is just the kind of thing these inveterate criminals specialise in.
On 22nd January, two senior assistants to the Comptroller of the Currency were likewise arrested. An unknown number of associates of former President George W. Bush Jr. were also arrested late last week. And since the US election, we have received intermittent continuing reports of bankers being arrested, especially in Switzerland and Germany.
REFUNDING OPERATION PRESUPPOSES REVENUE, NOT DEBT CREATION
In summary, according to further information received, Bush Sr. is engaged in a withering struggle to recoup the stolen money that he has lost, for which purpose he and his associates have been re-recruiting veteran CIA criminalist colleagues, pulling out all the stops to frustrate the G-7-Approved Refunding operation. In other words, they are blatantly engaged in a terrorist operation which, if it is allowed to continue, will most certainly ensure that the entire US and the international financial system collapses. This is because, as we explained at the top of the preceding report:
•The US dollar requires refunding as a matter of the most extreme urgency.
• The G-7-Approved Private Sector on-the-books Capital Markets Refinancing Programme, which was criminally blocked against the interests of the American people and the entire world by the self-serving thieves headed by the Bushes, Paulson, Cheney, the Clintons, Greenspan, Bernanke et al from June 2006 onwards, is the ONLY means whereby this can be achieved.
• It CANNOT be done from WITHIN the US Federal Government structures, as the Government ONLY CREATES DEBT. The Private Capital Markets Refinancing Programme agreed upon by the Group of Seven financial powers CREATES REVENUE and U.S. TREASURY TAX RECEIPTS.
• Government and White House structures, being PUBLIC SECTOR, cannot do this.
• The crisis which we have reported throughout and that developed from June 2006 onwards is a SPECIFIC CONSEQUENCE of the corrupt decision by President George W. Bush Jr., Mr Henry J. Paulson, Vice President Cheney, Dr Bernard Bernanke, George Bush Sr, Dr Alan Greenspan, and others, to perpetuate the depraved fiat deficit-financing and fraudulent finance/self-enrichment carousel CREATING EVER MORE DEBT that was then largely hidden off-balance-sheet, rather than proceeding with the REVENUE-PRODUCING SOLUTION using fully taxed on-the-books private sector capital markets transactions that has been on the table since 2005/2006 and is THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD.
• Due to the unchecked criminal, perverse behaviour of the operatives listed above and exposed by this service, the prospect of the weight of derivative junk crashing through the ceiling into the basement and demolishing several of the largest institutions in the world, is no longer academic. If this happens, there will be a global collapse into uncontrollable chaos.
We have already seen that an immense European institution has DEMANDED the transfer of ‘value’ approaching $230 trillion to cover expected losses when the derivatives sitting on their roof crash through multiple stories of their house of cards into the basement.
And Stuart Levey is meanwhile sitting there in the Treasury, an ally of Paulson and therefore Bush Sr., systematically presiding over the actual or prospective diversion of funds, ready to block the Refunding Programme on which not only the future of the Obama Administration, the United States and the American people, but also of the whole world, depends.
BUSH OPERATIONS AGAINST THE KENNEDY FAMILY
As part of these ruthless operations, Bush Sr., motivated by unsettled scores and fear of exposure of unspeakable layers of criminality by a ‘new’ member of the Kennedy clan:
• Orchestrated the bombardment of Caroline Kennedy with death threats along the lines of ‘you will suffer the same fate as the rest of your family’, so that she decided to ask the Governor of the State of New York to withdraw her name as nominee for the US Senate seat now vacated by Mrs Hillary Clinton, after the Governor had in fact selected this untainted woman from an illustrious family, for the post. Bush Sr. is believed to have been involved in all the earlier Kennedy murders.
• Bush Sr. is also suspected of having procured the doctoring of the food (even just by having too much salt added) so that Senator Edward Kennedy, who is on a course of known medication for the control a post-operative brain tumour condition, collapsed with convulsions at the Inaugural lunch for President Barack Obama. Our sources, who are not at all prone to exaggeration, believe that this represented an assassination attempt.
FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE CLINTONS
Which leaves the position of the Clintons in this devil’s cauldron extraordinarily exposed. In this connection, several recent observations have been widely noted:
• Former President Jimmy Carter took care to stand well away from Presidents 41, 42, 43 and Mr Obama when the Presidential Council met in the New Year. The usual group photograph showed President 39, untainted by these fraudulent finance abominations, conspicuously standing apart from the others. (Mr Obama was with the other former Presidents out of courtesy, even though he knows the score perfectly well – as was liberally revealed through his pointed observations in his Inaugural speech (see below)).
• Former President Jimmy Carter was clearly observed, by many, to have cut former President Clinton (42) dead during the gathering for the Inauguration ceremony. He refused to acknowledge Clinton’s presence.
• In photo opportunities following the Inauguration, Mrs Clinton has affected a sheepish, subdued demeanour far from characteristic of this ruthless CIA operative.
• The appointment of George Mitchell as President Obama’s special Middle East Envoy charged with trying to sort out inter alia the Israeli-Palestine mess, was clearly a snub to Mrs H. Clinton, designed to place this Jezebel firmly in her State Department box. She was not even listed, as far as we know, as being on the team selected to fly into the region to try to patch things up.
Of course, Jezebel will try to climb out of the box, but for the moment, she’s stuck inside it.
More to the point, she must have regard at all times to the reality that sealed indictments against her, containing inter alia details of the theft of $500 million from Bank Crozier in Grenada, which then collapsed, could be unsealed at any time.
The since incarcerated Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) operative, Lt. Mark Delmart Vreeland, was among four operatives who flew down to Grenada to investigate (in the late 1990s). They found that the Grenada bank’s video equipment had failed at precisely the time when Mrs Clinton was present in the bank, withdrawing the funds illegally.

THE VIDEO WAS ON IN 2003 when the Bank of Crozier failed. Then...HILDEBEAST could not explain how she amassed her Presidential warchest. FOX NEWS ran that story. Hilary got teary eyed and broke down on the campaign trail before making the statement that, "...ROBERT KENNEDY GOT WHACKED in L.A. when he was the Democratic shoe in for the Presidential nomination...".
Joy erupted among those in the know...that the wicked witch was dead politically for Obama to sweep aside any lasting last ditch Denver attempts by Hilary...who had some of her superdelegates die or remove themselves from the game?

CLEAR REFERENCE TO URGENT NEED FOR THE REFUNDING PROGRAMME
Finally, in a clear reference to his intentions as President and to the necessary realisation of his objectives with the assistance of the overdue Refinancing Programme approved by the Group of Seven Financial Powers in 2007 and 2008, President Obama proclaimed:
‘The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act – not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will also restore science to its rightful place – and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories’
– none of which can be done by the discredited official method of open-ended debt financing, as has been the norm for a century, but rather which requires a flow of taxed REVENUE for project financing which ONLY the Refinancing Programme can achieve.
– So, those who are continuing their rearguard, doomed strategies to frustrate the will of the new President of the United States, of the American people, of the Group of Seven financial powers and other large nations, and the Rest of the World, are fit to be arrested NOW as economic terrorists and have, in our expectation, a micro-short timeframe within which to get their priorities straight.
• Just as one cannot imagine Mr Stuart Levey actually relishing the thought of being forced, like Mr Robert Armenta, to choose between serving 25 or 99 years in jail, neither can we envisage Dr Ben Bernanke or even ex-President Clinton wishing to have to make such an unenviable choice.
On the other hand, the Bushes are in a category all of their own. Former President George W. Bush Jr. grabbed the arm of Rahm Emanuel after Mr Obama had left the podium, and exclaimed ‘What a great speech’ – whereas Mrs Bush had clearly understood that Barack Obama’s cited remarks had represented sharp and deserved glancing criticisms of his predecessor (which was the impression gained by alert listeners around the world).
If that level of incomprehension is any guide, ex-President George W. Bush might not understand why, if he were to be arrested, he was being offered such a choice. As for Bush Sr., he would try his usual combination of bluster plus expletives deleted, and bribery.
But this on the basis of experience, that is all wishful thinking, as US law enforcement don’t have the guts to arrest these dogs – or, as several very sober US associates of ours DEMAND, to shoot them on sight as economic terrorists, which is what they are: responsible for driving the whole world into a depression amid an avoidable financial catastrophe.

STUART LEVEY, ASSOCIATE OF PAULSON, IN CHARGE OF THE U.S. TREASURY
The Acting Secretary of the US Treasury, pending confirmation or otherwise by the Senate (scheduled for Monday, 26th January 2009) is Stuart Levey.
Mr Levey, as an ally of the former US Treasury Secretary, Henry M. Paulson, Jr., is continuing the policy of waging economic terrorism against the United States and the world perpetrated by his former boss – a financial criminal operative and economic terrorist who spent his time in office pillaging, diverting, seizing and otherwise exploiting the funds of others, in collaboration with his ‘bosses’, former President George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush Sr. – the most dangerous, reckless and deeply corrupt operative ever to have haunted the White House, the possible exception being his eldest son....
...Until Mr Geithner’s confirmation by the Senate, the position prevailing since Mr Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States, is therefore that an associate of Paulson-Bush-Bush-Clinton is the Acting US Treasury Secretary – so that there has so far been NO DISCONTINUITY in respect of the Bush Sr.-directed strategy of sabotaging the G-7-Approved Refunding Programme, upon which the future of the United States and the whole world depends. This dirty policy has also notoriously included selective blocking of the Settlements.
EXPLANATION OF THE HOLD-UP OF GEITHNER’S SENATE RATIFICATION
So the question arises: what is the motive behind the US Senate Republicans’ hang-up about Geithner’s $34,000 of previously unpaid taxes? This man, who has resigned his position on the Federal Reserve Board, continues as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the FRBNY) without this old tax issue jeopardising his ‘service’ in any way. If he is a ‘fit person’ to serve as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, logic suggests that, on the same criteria, he would be a ‘fit person’ to serve as the Secretary of the US Treasury.
Which, of course, reveals that the ‘old unpaid tax’ issue is a ruse.
And what would be the self-evidently doomed purpose of any such reckless ruse?
Why, to ensure that the Treasury remains in the hands of the Paulson-Bush-Clinton-Cheney Cabal long enough for the really big money – the $6.2 trillion of LOAN funds earmarked for the Group-of-Seven-Approved Refunding Programme, and the further $7.8 trillion of sovereign funds earmarked to finance the Settlements – to be diverted, stolen or whatever other verb you might prefer, under the nose of President Barack Obama.
In this connection, repeated reports of elements of the Settlements payouts having been initiated, of packages being delivered, of recipients being unable to access funds, and so forth, are not the subject of this report (a) because those issues are not germane to the purpose of this report and (b) because none of these reports can be confirmed.
Our notes show that we have in fact received identical reports from non-Internet sources of exactly the same ‘deliveries’ taking place at intervals of almost exactly two months, almost as though there is a bimonthly cycle governing these dubious reports – which represent a ‘we’ll pay you tomorrow’ contrivance associated with the Ponzi model whereby a constituency of investors has to be kept permanently at bay, to prevent them reaching for their pitchforks simultaneously, and precipitating exposure of the scams, and collapse.
Nevertheless, it is a FACT that $7.8 trillion (of the $14 trillion) exists and does remain ‘locked down’, bundled with the $6.2 trillion LOAN money for the Refunding Programme, earmarked for the funding of the Settlements.
OBJECTIVE: CONTINUED CONTROL OF THE TREASURY BY PAULSON-BUSH
If the Senators who are holding up Geithner’s confirmation in the Senate are successful in their apparent attempt to stall the appointment of the new Treasury Secretary, the outcome of such a development, namely the continuing de facto direction of the Treasury by the compromised Mr Stuart Levey, will have the parallel consequence of identifying those Senators involved as co-conspirators and Accessories to the Fact of ongoing financial frauds and diversionary activities, and of an operation believed to be directed at the theft and the diversion of trillions of dollars belonging to HM The Queen, the Chinese parties, and the Saudi Arabian Prince, and maybe the Settlement funds, as well.
TIMOTHY GEITHNER HAS TURNED STATE’S EVIDENCE
Underlying this hidden objective is the fact that, to protect himself and ensure the protection that he needs by virtue of his prospective situation as US Treasury Secretary, Mr Timothy Geithner was reported to us on 16th January 2009 to have turned State’s evidence and has been spilling many sensitive beans which have been, are, and will continue to be, of extreme ongoing concern to the aforementioned criminalist financial fraudsters and financiers of global terrorism and to the ever diminishing numbers of their associates.
We have previously reported and continue to believe that the assets of many of the world-class criminals around the world have been frozen. As noted earlier, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has acted as agent for G. Bush Sr. guarding ‘his’ assets within Germany’s largest bank. However this stance went sour as it became evident last fall that Frau Merkel risked a complete breach with President Sarkozy of France, who was then also President of the European Union, against the background of (a) Anthony Blair’s decision to ‘roll over’ last year when placed under extreme pressure by the Speaker of the House of Commons, as we reported, and (b) M. Sarkozy’s so-called ‘mandate to pay’ wrenched from former criminalist President Bush Jr. during a tense meeting at Camp David.
PRESIDENT OBAMA WORKING TIRELESSLY TO PROCURE RESOLUTION
Following the election, and later the Electoral College confirmation, of Barack Obama’s elevation to the Presidency of the United States, sources have reiterated that Mr Obama, having emphatically rebuffed the blatant bribery offer from Bush and Cheney during his first visit to the White House on 10th November 2008, was quickly seized of the gravity of the situation surrounding the blocking and abuse of the LOAN funds and of the Settlements (at least, those which are meant to be paid, led by the farm investors who began legal action for the theft of their funds as far back as 1989).
On several occasions late last year, and specifically on 12th January 2009, we were explicitly and repeatedly informed that Mr Obama was working hard behind the scenes to procure the payments for both the Refunding Programme and the relevant Settlements – an assessment that was then reconfirmed as a result of our further enquiries on that date....
NO SUCH THING AS A ‘FORMER’ U.S. OPERATIVE OR C.I.A. DIRECTOR
Nor is it any great surprise that the Bush-controlled (Dachau-oriented) elements of the criminalised Central Intelligence Agency, the Langley, VA, building of which is named the George Bush Center for Intelligence, remain, with parallel elements of the National Security Agency (NSA), dedicated to frustrating the G7-Approved Refunding Plan in collaboration with the Bush-Clinton Fraud Cabal....
DESPERATE WORLD CLASS CRIMINALS PURSUING SAMSON OPTION: NOTHING TO LOSE
In this context, what these ‘Black’ forces are thought to be engaged in doing ‘as we speak’, can be summarised as follows:
• The Bush-Clinton Cabal, with their CIA and NSA criminalist associates, are actually attempting to collapse the entire international financial economy so that they can then recover the funds that have been stolen, but which, to their dismay, were progressively frozen around the world as this crisis escalated from June-September 2007 onwards. If you have stamina, you are invited to browse around in our reports from June 2007 and the rest of that year, so as to pick up some of the threads which emerged when we were assisting Wanta before we were typically double-crossed (2).
The Wantagate reports prised an immense amount of dirt that was ‘never supposed to come out’ (3) into the public domain, and set the scene for the days of reckoning that have followed (4).
• The unspeakably evil, mad thinking behind this continuing Bush-Clinton-CIA offensive is that in the event of a total collapse, the stolen funds would have to be placed into circulation, and the fiat money generated by the layered fraudulent finance derivatives-linked contracts and transactions would have to be valued, so that in the end, they would all supposedly ‘get their money back’.
• Details of a corrupt sequence of events, given below, reveal that so as to acquire cash in hand with which to bribe domestic and foreign officials and bankers to continue corrupt ‘business as usual’, $12.8 billion was diverted/stolen on or around 20th January 2008, winding up at a bank in Tyler, Texas, into the hands of a member of the Bush family operating in Canada. The Bush-Clinton Crime Cabal cannot hope to achieve anything without an ample pool of bribery money, which the narrative below indicates they may have tried to replenish – as usual, through blatant theft.
• The continued recalcitrance of this ‘Black’ Cabal and their CIA/NSA and banking sector cadres (more and more of whom have been and continued to be ‘neutralised’ and arrested since we last reported) presupposes that these mad people are continuing their track record of financing and perpetrating terrorism. Economic Warfare under the relevant legislation is TERRORISM.
These evil people are accordingly, as we have said many times before, engaged in waging a war of terror against the President of the United States, the people of the United States, the US Federal Government, foreign Governments and the whole world.
BRITISH MINISTER CALLS FOR CORRUPT BANKERS TO BE ARRESTED
And in the face of this intransigence, and the feckless weakness of the relevant US authorities in treating the three criminal Presidents as though they are untouchable gods, the noise of scales belatedly falling from the eyes of government Ministers is becoming deafening. For instance, for the first time – no less than 40 months late – a British Government Minister (Lord Myners) was reported by The Times, London, on 24th January, to have demanded the arrest and indictment of British bankers engaged in fraudulent finance practices.
It is worth paying attention to the following, before we continue the narrative exposure which links the verified theft mentioned above directly to the Bush Crime Family.
So, to set the scene for what follows, we quote from the British newspaper’s front page report:
‘A furious onslaught on banking’s “masters of the universe” has been unleashed by Gordon Brown’s City Minister. Too many bankers fail to realise they are grossly over-rewarded and have no sense of society… Lord Myners says that the banks have been mismanaged, and [has delivered] the strongest attack [by UK officials] so far on those responsible’.
‘He also revealed that the UK banking system was close to collapse before the first bailout was announced. “We were very close on Friday, October 10. There were two or three hours when things felt very bad, nervous and fragile. Major depositors were trying to withdraw – and willing to pay penalties for early withdrawal – from a number of large banks”.....
In view of the fact that we have been reporting arrests of bankers until we are blue in the face (with more reported below), this outburst, late in the day as it is, represents evidence that the too slow-to-come-to-its-senses UK official sector has at long last been shocked into the realisation that this is a CORRUPTION CRISIS first and foremost.
ALL RESPONSES SHOULD BE BASED ON THIS PREMISE, rather than on the more palatable presumption that this is ‘simply’ a systemic global financial crisis of the utmost gravity.
YET A BLIND EYE WAS PREVIOUSLY TURNED TO OUTRAGEOUS LOANS
Quite why senior UK Government officials have been so shocked at what has emerged to date, which may be nothing compared to what may follow, is a mystery. After all, due diligence should have revealed that ABN Amro – an institution chock full of exotic and toxic assets, purchased in a mad rush of blood to the head by now discredited bankers at Royal Bank of Scotland – had lent the notorious Soviet KGB-GRU ‘oligarch’ Leonid Blatavnik £2.5 billion to help shore up this notorious criminalist’s troubled chemicals corporation, LyondellBasell.
Further due diligence should have revealed the fact that Mr Blatavnik had been named in a suit brought by Norex Petroleum Limited, owned by J.I.V. LLC, organised under the laws of California, and filed with the United States Southern District Court for the Southern District of New York on 25th February 2002 in connection with the theft of Yugraneft, an oil subsidiary of Norex, by means of fraud, physical violence and massive corruption, in the context of a quite extraordinarily complex money-laundering scheme that was exposed in complete detail in International Currency Review, Volume 29, #s 3 & 4, published in March 2004.
Other plaintiffs listed in that lawsuit included the KGB operations Access Industries, Inc., Renova Inc., Alfa Group Consortium, Alfa Group Holdings, and the Tyumen Oil Company, together with the covert Soviet operatives Victor Vekselberg, Simon (Semen) Kukes (an academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences), Joseph Bakaleynik and Elliot Spitz.
Moreover, to assist all enquiries, our journal, to which the British Treasury and City institutions subscribe, contained a diagram explaining the money-laundering operation perpetrated via Crown Finance Corporation (of Liechtenstein), Crown Resources AG, Crown Trade and Finance Limited, Crown Commodities Limited and a total of 17 named subsidiaries operating out of the Isle of Man, Bahamas and Panama.
Our report clearly identified all the relevant KGB individuals and entities, plus a whole series of corrupt, orchestrated Russian bankruptcies (in order to redistribute property) of Nizhnevartovsk Nefte Gaz, Kondpetroleum and Chernogorneft (subsidiaries of the Russian oil company Sidanco), an ongoing pattern of racketeering activities, the ‘formation and execution of a scheme and artifice to defraud, acts of extortion, bribery and threatened violence’, and money-laundering on a scale never previously exposed.
On 29th June 2001, Alexander Berman, an officer of a TNK affiliate, accompanied by six so-called attorneys and at least 16 thugs wearing military-style fatigues and balaclava helmets and armed with machine guns, invaded Yugraneft’s offices in Nizhnevartovsk and informed employees there that Yugraneft had been taken over by TNK, and that they must immediately sign employee agreements with TNK, or leave.
Given such glaring confirmation of the mentioned banks’ involvement with organised corruption, the laziness, complacency and naïveté on this score of British Government Ministers and officials appears beyond belief. This entire crisis is a consequence of open-ended corruption, and the banks are consequently engulfed in a systemic corruption holocaust of their own making.
EUROPEAN INSTITUTION CALLS ONE-THIRD OF DERIVATIVES GUARANTEES
But if Lord Myners thought that the British banking system was close to collapse on 10th October, one would be most interested to know what he thought on or about 15th January 2009, when an extremely large European institution DEMANDED from an even larger US financial institution, the IMMEDIATE transfer of a sum equivalent to ONE-THIRD OF THE TOTAL NOTIONAL VALUE OF ALL DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS OUTSTANDING – which amounts to a figure approaching $700 trillion.
• In other words, the European institution DEMANDED the IMMEDIATE transfer for its account of approximately $230 trillion. No further information about this has been forthcoming.
This DEMAND reflected the hyper-sensitive reality that the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC), owned by a group of US Money Center banks and inter alia also by the huge European bank which purchased the clearing facilities of the mentioned US giga-institution, has guaranteed the outstanding derivatives contracts to the aforementioned value of approximately $700 trillion.
The European institution was therefore fully within its rights to call the total guaranteed value of the revelant portion of these derivatives contracts held within its toxic portfolio (5), given the operation of law and its evident (and justified) expectation that the entire convoluted mountain of derivatives contracts and transactions (of which the DTCC boasted last year that it had processed transactions worth $1.8 quadrillion (6)) was about to be exposed as being worth nothing at all.
The forthcoming issue of International Currency Review [Volume 34, Number 2] will illustrate, with flow-charts, why this deduction is accurate. We happen also to know, as previously reported, that the regional US Federal Reserve Banks (not the FRBNY and the Federal Reserve Board) agree with this assessment.
WHY FINANCE FOR THE PONZI CAROUSEL DRIED UP IN MID-SEPTEMBER 2008
So, if Lord Myners was scared by the events of 10th October last year, one wonders indeed what his assessment of the current situation is liable to be. The October crisis, of course, was triggered by the ‘lockdown’ of the $14.0 trillion of LOAN money effective 12th September 2008, after certain steps had been taken in Britain some six days earlier to protect the funds placed ON LOAN for the purposes of financing the refunding of the US dollar and thereby the global financial and trading system which is starved of real cash-cash funds. These funds were originally provided by the Chinese parties, Her Majesty The Queen, and Prince Al-Aweed Al-Talal of Saudi Arabia.
Following the seizure on 2nd June 2008 by the Metropolitan Police assisted by 300 armed police marksmen, of the ‘Safety Lock Box’ centres in Mayfair, Edgeware and Hampstead, Central London, harbouring over 7,000 lock boxes which contained much of the stolen and other illicit collateral applied to underpin the London carousel platform consolidated under Tony Blair in collaboration with George Bush Sr., through the auspices of Monaco-based Bernie Ecclestone (Monaco is a key CIA corrupt finance center), the collateral basis for the carousel of exotic fraudulent Ponzi finance had already been removed – leaving the separate earmarked $14.0 trillion as the only cash-cash source of underlying liquidity for these Ponzi operations.
When those funds were decisively placed out of reach effective 12th September 2008, two things happened:
----(1) Liquidity on the exotic Ponzi funding marketplace dried up altogether, unmasking prominent components of the Ponzi environment headed by the Master Ponzi outlet run by Madoff; and
----(2) the Editor received the ‘triple gunshot’ death threat on his voicemail on 20th September.
On 6th October, the Editor was warned ‘to be very careful’.
However during the Editor’s visit to the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings and subsequently, he received appropriate protection.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HEAVILY ENGAGED AND ‘UP TO SPEED’
Now, the incoming Obama Administration, being fully seized of the situation, has not wavered in its behind-the-scenes activity to procure the unavoidable and necessary outcomes, namely the full financing via the LOAN funds of the Refinancing Programme, and such Settlements payments as are to be permitted (7).
This FACT was conveyed to us by no less than THREE impeccable sources late in the evening UK time on Friday 23rd January. President Obama and relevant colleagues have, however, continued, as was the case prior to the Inauguration, to encounter bitter resistance from the Bush-Cheney-Clinton Crime Nexus and their allies at US and foreign banks, the Federal Reserve Board, and within the tainted US official structures – which includes the US Treasury, overseen for the time being by Mr Stuart Levey.
TOP NEW YORK FEDERAL RESERVE OFFICIALS ARRESTED:
ROBERT ARMENTA OFFERED CHOICE BETWEEN 25 YEARS IN JAIL
IF HE REVEALS ALL HE KNOWS, AND 99 YEARS IN JAIL OTHERWISE
Symptomatic of this bovine rearguard resistance were the overdue arrests of the following senior officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Friday 23rd January 2009:
• Robert Armenta, Senior Compliance Officer, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, mentioned in our report dated 19th December 2006. On his arrest, Mr Armenta was informed that he would likely be jailed for 25 years if he cooperates and ‘sings’, BUT THAT HE WOULD BE INCARCERATED FOR 99 YEARS IF HE REFUSED.
No doubt this is a turn of events of which Stuart Levey will have no choice but to take immediate account, as he considers whether it is in his best interests to continue with the blocking strategy of his former boss, Henry M. Paulson Jr. – or whether it would be prudent, to put it mildly, for him to accommodate the specific requirements of President Barack Obama in respect of the Refunding Programme and the Settlements.
In making up his mind about which course to follow, the fact that Timothy Geithner has turned State’s evidence should also be a potent factor in his deliberations.
• Christopher J. McCurdy, Senior Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in charge of the payments policy function at the Bank, was also arrested on 23rd January 2009. Mr McCurdy is reported to have destroyed the release codes for the Refunding Programme and Settlement funds, which is specifically why he was arrested. CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH BEHAVIOUR? Surely, 99 years would not be enough for such criminal sabotage.
We are also expecting further arrests at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to materialise.
EXPOSURE OF A BUSH SR. OPERATION TO STEAL $12.8 BILLION
We will now explain in detail how these Fed arrests came to pass, and how the trail exposes an operation masterminded by George Bush Sr. to steal $12.8 billion, which we believe was targeted to provide the Bush ‘Black’ operatives and associates with funds to replenish a depleted ‘bribery pot’ needed, even at this late stage, to corrupt bankers and others at home and abroad.
Specifically, a California-based shareholder of outstanding shares of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. (a Nevada-based corporation traded on the OTC market as CMKX) exposed to us on 18th January 2009 the involvement of a Mr William A Frazell, of Attorneys Frazell & Mosley PLL (Austin, TX), Mr Kevin West (the Chief Executive Officer of CMKX) and Mr Urban Casavant, of Casavant Mining Kimberlite International, in connection with the receipt of over $12 billion being the proceeds of a settlement with CMKM/CMKX, known to the Securities and Exchange Commission following a lawsuit concerning ‘naked short-selling activities’.
The California-based shareholder, who is an Attorney, advised us that CMKM/CMKX was very recently ‘converted out’ from Nevada and moved to Tyler, Texas – a corporate move of which the outstanding registered shareholders, who own more than 800 billion shares, were never legally informed. As noted, the source is a holder of outstanding shares in the Nevada-based corporation.
Our sources confirm that Attorney Frazell, acting for and on behalf of CMKM/CMKX, paid a certain shareholder a sum of money equivalent to $0.02 (two cents in the dollar) per share and that the shareholder was made to sign a non-disclosure document demanded by Attorney Frazell, which allegedly denies any information to the remaining outstanding shareholders.
Non-disclosure documents are essentially illegal and are of no effect, rendering the transaction itself null and void (which is the case anyway, as the payout is fraudulent).
Consequent upon this operation, we were advised that $12.8 billion of Settlement funds are or were initially missing and unaccounted for, while the Attorney, W. A. Frazell, was not cooperating with the other shareholders in any attempt to identify the location of these missing funds. On 20th January 2009, it was confirmed that 639 billion shares were paid out at a price of $0.02 per share, equating to a total payout of $12,780,000,000.
The significance of this detail is that, in an earlier conversation with the authorities, the city of Tyler, Texas had only recently been mentioned in the context of the release of ‘settlement funds’, and in the context of known activities of Bush Sr. associates in Dallas, Austin, and Crawford County, Texas and the relevant background involving Delmarva Timber Trust et al.
The 639 billion shares that were sold short were sold WITH the knowledge of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the relevant lawsuit concluded in late 2007, settlement funds were to be paid out to all holders of outstanding CMKM/CMKX shares.
Instead of which Attorney Wiliam A. Frazell is reported to us to have taken receipt of the full $12.8 billion in a sham operation in which he signed off illegally on a settlement of $0.02 per share without informing the shareholders. We are advised that these funds were channnelled to the control of a member of the Bush Crime Family operating in Canada.
Specifically, at the direction of George H. W. Bush Sr., these funds were shifted under pretext of a settlement with the knowledge of the SEC from someone else’s account, in typical accordance with the standard Ponzi Scheme model.
The Tyler, TX, Police had to respond immediately because Attorney Frazell had allegedly been contacted by a CMKM Diamonds, Inc. shareholder who happened to be a former agent for the Internal Revenue Service.
The former IRS agent notified Attorney Frazell that the funds had been collected and held by the Despository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) (according to the DTCC), whereupon the former IRS agent was offered a settlement by Frazell; and the non-disclosure document (which is null and void in practice, as the agent will have known) was signed. This information was incorporated with the police complaint report furnished to the Chief of Police in Tyler, Texas.
The DTCC are reported to have separately confirmed that they were and still are, holding funds for the settlement in question.
The Chief of Police in Tyler, TX, was actually notified of this theft/diversion on 22nd January, when documents were submitted to the local police for the purposes of investigation and making the necessary arrests.
• It was as a direct consequence of these developments that Robert Armenta and Christopher J. McMurdy of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, were arrested on 23rd January.
BUSH SR. ET AL. GRASPING AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL FUNDS
This sequence of events confirms the first proven instance in which a crossover has been verified between the issue of the mishandling of the Refunding and Settlement funds and (in this instance), an entity such as CMKM/CMKX – a linkage which expert analysts inform us means that Bush Sr. and his associates are desperately exploiting every human asset at their disposal (or who can still be bribed), to locate funds that can then be stolen.
This in turn raises yet again the issue: are these former US Presidents gods who have earned carte blanche, buttressed by bribery, to continue pillaging and conducting financial terrorist operations against fellow Americans and the Rest of the World until they die? Are these people – the Bushes, former President Clinton, Cheney, Paulson, Bernanke, Greenspan et al. – considered to be the equivalent of ancient Greek Immortals?
As far as we can tell, they possess two wrists each, both of which can be cuffed with ease.
So what is the problem?

_____________________________
As previously requested, sane Americans, and the Rest of the World, would like an immediate answer to this question, before, as these criminal terrorists intend, we all go to hell.
The Daily Telegraph, London, displayed warnings that Britain is on the edge of DEPRESSION, on its front page for 24th January 2008. We aren’t on the edge of it: we’re in it: and the reason for this is that London has been used as the primary external platform by Bush-Blair for the derivatives hypothecation Ponzi scamming orgy.
AMBIVALENT POSITION OF THE DOUBLE-MINDED CLINTONS UNDER OBAMA
No doubt former President Clinton, the illegitimate son of Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, has, as we implied in the preceding report, been warned by the Rockefeller family that his ongoing criminal finance behaviour poses an immediate and devastating threat to JPMorganChase, which has more derivatives exposure than any other institution in the world.
If so, it is possible that the Clintons may have been decoupled from the Bushes (as the ‘capture’ of Mrs Clinton in her State Department box, might suggest).
On the other hand, as usual, the Clintons’ inherent double-mindedness may suggest that they may also imagine that they would benefit, assuming survival, from the total collapse possibly envisaged by the Bush Crime Family and their cadres – in the light of a mad expectation that the worthless derivatives would then have to be valued and released.
Some such fantasy could go some way towards explaining the Clintons’ apparently ambivalent positions vis-à-vis the Obama accession, given that the Bush Family has now been written off by those ‘in the know‘ – even as the Bush Patriarch struggles like a maddened hyena to claw back funds stolen from newly identified vulnerable sources, to replace the stolen funds that he has lost.
Intervening in and falsifying a nice juicy court-ordered settlement process through the services of a bent Attorney, is just the kind of thing these inveterate criminals specialise in.
On 22nd January, two senior assistants to the Comptroller of the Currency were likewise arrested. An unknown number of associates of former President George W. Bush Jr. were also arrested late last week. And since the US election, we have received intermittent continuing reports of bankers being arrested, especially in Switzerland and Germany.
REFUNDING OPERATION PRESUPPOSES REVENUE, NOT DEBT CREATION
In summary, according to further information received, Bush Sr. is engaged in a withering struggle to recoup the stolen money that he has lost, for which purpose he and his associates have been re-recruiting veteran CIA criminalist colleagues, pulling out all the stops to frustrate the G-7-Approved Refunding operation. In other words, they are blatantly engaged in a terrorist operation which, if it is allowed to continue, will most certainly ensure that the entire US and the international financial system collapses. This is because, as we explained at the top of the preceding report:
•The US dollar requires refunding as a matter of the most extreme urgency.
• The G-7-Approved Private Sector on-the-books Capital Markets Refinancing Programme, which was criminally blocked against the interests of the American people and the entire world by the self-serving thieves headed by the Bushes, Paulson, Cheney, the Clintons, Greenspan, Bernanke et al from June 2006 onwards, is the ONLY means whereby this can be achieved.
• It CANNOT be done from WITHIN the US Federal Government structures, as the Government ONLY CREATES DEBT. The Private Capital Markets Refinancing Programme agreed upon by the Group of Seven financial powers CREATES REVENUE and U.S. TREASURY TAX RECEIPTS.
• Government and White House structures, being PUBLIC SECTOR, cannot do this.
• The crisis which we have reported throughout and that developed from June 2006 onwards is a SPECIFIC CONSEQUENCE of the corrupt decision by President George W. Bush Jr., Mr Henry J. Paulson, Vice President Cheney, Dr Bernard Bernanke, George Bush Sr, Dr Alan Greenspan, and others, to perpetuate the depraved fiat deficit-financing and fraudulent finance/self-enrichment carousel CREATING EVER MORE DEBT that was then largely hidden off-balance-sheet, rather than proceeding with the REVENUE-PRODUCING SOLUTION using fully taxed on-the-books private sector capital markets transactions that has been on the table since 2005/2006 and is THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD.
• Due to the unchecked criminal, perverse behaviour of the operatives listed above and exposed by this service, the prospect of the weight of derivative junk crashing through the ceiling into the basement and demolishing several of the largest institutions in the world, is no longer academic. If this happens, there will be a global collapse into uncontrollable chaos.
We have already seen that an immense European institution has DEMANDED the transfer of ‘value’ approaching $230 trillion to cover expected losses when the derivatives sitting on their roof crash through multiple stories of their house of cards into the basement.
And Stuart Levey is meanwhile sitting there in the Treasury, an ally of Paulson and therefore Bush Sr., systematically presiding over the actual or prospective diversion of funds, ready to block the Refunding Programme on which not only the future of the Obama Administration, the United States and the American people, but also of the whole world, depends.
BUSH OPERATIONS AGAINST THE KENNEDY FAMILY
As part of these ruthless operations, Bush Sr., motivated by unsettled scores and fear of exposure of unspeakable layers of criminality by a ‘new’ member of the Kennedy clan:
• Orchestrated the bombardment of Caroline Kennedy with death threats along the lines of ‘you will suffer the same fate as the rest of your family’, so that she decided to ask the Governor of the State of New York to withdraw her name as nominee for the US Senate seat now vacated by Mrs Hillary Clinton, after the Governor had in fact selected this untainted woman from an illustrious family, for the post. Bush Sr. is believed to have been involved in all the earlier Kennedy murders.
• Bush Sr. is also suspected of having procured the doctoring of the food (even just by having too much salt added) so that Senator Edward Kennedy, who is on a course of known medication for the control a post-operative brain tumour condition, collapsed with convulsions at the Inaugural lunch for President Barack Obama. Our sources, who are not at all prone to exaggeration, believe that this represented an assassination attempt.
FURTHER OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE CLINTONS
Which leaves the position of the Clintons in this devil’s cauldron extraordinarily exposed. In this connection, several recent observations have been widely noted:
• Former President Jimmy Carter took care to stand well away from Presidents 41, 42, 43 and Mr Obama when the Presidential Council met in the New Year. The usual group photograph showed President 39, untainted by these fraudulent finance abominations, conspicuously standing apart from the others. (Mr Obama was with the other former Presidents out of courtesy, even though he knows the score perfectly well – as was liberally revealed through his pointed observations in his Inaugural speech (see below)).
• Former President Jimmy Carter was clearly observed, by many, to have cut former President Clinton (42) dead during the gathering for the Inauguration ceremony. He refused to acknowledge Clinton’s presence.
• In photo opportunities following the Inauguration, Mrs Clinton has affected a sheepish, subdued demeanour far from characteristic of this ruthless CIA operative.
• The appointment of George Mitchell as President Obama’s special Middle East Envoy charged with trying to sort out inter alia the Israeli-Palestine mess, was clearly a snub to Mrs H. Clinton, designed to place this Jezebel firmly in her State Department box. She was not even listed, as far as we know, as being on the team selected to fly into the region to try to patch things up.
Of course, Jezebel will try to climb out of the box, but for the moment, she’s stuck inside it.
More to the point, she must have regard at all times to the reality that sealed indictments against her, containing inter alia details of the theft of $500 million from Bank Crozier in Grenada, which then collapsed, could be unsealed at any time.
The since incarcerated Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) operative, Lt. Mark Delmart Vreeland, was among four operatives who flew down to Grenada to investigate (in the late 1990s). They found that the Grenada bank’s video equipment had failed at precisely the time when Mrs Clinton was present in the bank, withdrawing the funds illegally.

THE VIDEO WAS ON IN 2003 when the Bank of Crozier failed. Then...HILDEBEAST could not explain how she amassed her Presidential warchest. FOX NEWS ran that story. Hilary got teary eyed and broke down on the campaign trail before making the statement that, "...ROBERT KENNEDY GOT WHACKED in L.A. when he was the Democratic shoe in for the Presidential nomination...".
Joy erupted among those in the know...that the wicked witch was dead politically for Obama to sweep aside any lasting last ditch Denver attempts by Hilary...who had some of her superdelegates die or remove themselves from the game?
___________________
CLEAR REFERENCE TO URGENT NEED FOR THE REFUNDING PROGRAMME
Finally, in a clear reference to his intentions as President and to the necessary realisation of his objectives with the assistance of the overdue Refinancing Programme approved by the Group of Seven Financial Powers in 2007 and 2008, President Obama proclaimed:
‘The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act – not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will also restore science to its rightful place – and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories’
– none of which can be done by the discredited official method of open-ended debt financing, as has been the norm for a century, but rather which requires a flow of taxed REVENUE for project financing which ONLY the Refinancing Programme can achieve.
– So, those who are continuing their rearguard, doomed strategies to frustrate the will of the new President of the United States, of the American people, of the Group of Seven financial powers and other large nations, and the Rest of the World, are fit to be arrested NOW as economic terrorists and have, in our expectation, a micro-short timeframe within which to get their priorities straight.
• Just as one cannot imagine Mr Stuart Levey actually relishing the thought of being forced, like Mr Robert Armenta, to choose between serving 25 or 99 years in jail, neither can we envisage Dr Ben Bernanke or even ex-President Clinton wishing to have to make such an unenviable choice.
On the other hand, the Bushes are in a category all of their own. Former President George W. Bush Jr. grabbed the arm of Rahm Emanuel after Mr Obama had left the podium, and exclaimed ‘What a great speech’ – whereas Mrs Bush had clearly understood that Barack Obama’s cited remarks had represented sharp and deserved glancing criticisms of his predecessor (which was the impression gained by alert listeners around the world).
If that level of incomprehension is any guide, ex-President George W. Bush might not understand why, if he were to be arrested, he was being offered such a choice. As for Bush Sr., he would try his usual combination of bluster plus expletives deleted, and bribery.
But this on the basis of experience, that is all wishful thinking, as US law enforcement don’t have the guts to arrest these dogs – or, as several very sober US associates of ours DEMAND, to shoot them on sight as economic terrorists, which is what they are: responsible for driving the whole world into a depression amid an avoidable financial catastrophe.

Wall Street’s Sick Psychology of Entitlement
John Carney | Jan 22, 09 4:27 PM
The news that Merrill Lynch paid out $15 billion in bonuses is sure to ignite new questions about the wisdom of bailing out Wall Street. Merrill Lynch took $10 billion from the TARP, allegedly to fill holes in its balance sheet. But instead of using that to repair its financial health, it simply put the money into the pockets of its employees. There is no way to defend this disgusting payout.
But that won’t stop Bank of America, which now owns Merrill, from defending the bonuses. And across Wall Street there are lots of people who actually believe that Merrill did the right thing.
How can so many smart people be so dumb?
Easily. There is a sick psychology of entitlement on Wall Street that was created during the bubble years. Many simply cannot believe that they do not deserve huge pay packages. Their brains have not caught up with the idea that they are working in broken institutions that would be unable to pay to keep the lights on if not for the fact that Washington has given them billions of taxpayer dollars.
Of course, smart people are very good at rationalizing their fantasies, especially when the fantasy serves to make them money. There are three rationales they’ll offer when pressed on this. Each one is easily skewered.
"We made money. It was just one part of the firm that lost it all. So we deserve to be paid." Sorry, buddy. That’s not the way capitalism works. Ask the guy who just lost his job installing seat belts in GM cars. He was really good at that but since no one is buying those cars, he’s out of a job. Being really good at what you do doesn’t matter if your firm is broke—and your firm is broke. It’s now on taxpayer supported life-support.
"We didn’t use taxpayer money to pay the bonuses." This is the most ridiculous idea ever. Money is fungible. If you use billions to pay bonuses and then need to ask the government for money to stay alive, you are using taxpayer money to fill in the hole you dug by paying the bonuses.
"We’ll lose all the greatest people if we don’t pay them." Oh really? Where will they go? Who, exactly, is going to hire them? Also: so what? That’s how capitalism works. Failing firms that cannot afford to pay for talent lose that talent to successful firms. That’s an important part of market discipline.
"If we don't pay bonuses when firms take the TARP, they won't take it." This is the most sophisticated argument for huge bonuses. In Germany, this actually happened. As it turns out, executives would rather risk their firm collapsing due to lack of capital than give up their big paydays. But there's an easy solution to this: throw the bastards out. The boards of every single financial company that turned down bailout bucks with a bonus limit could demand a full accounting of why a bank's executives think it is healthy enough to forego a bailout. And if they aren't satisfied they should just fire the management.
Look. We’re not hysterical opponents of paying big bonuses. Actually, I'm on the record as defending huge bonuses from a couple of years ago. If your firm makes money, it can decide how to reward its employees. If it loses money, it can still decide to pay bonuses if it still has cash on hand. But when you pay yourself a bonus with taxpayer money you are simply taking money from someone who earned it and giving it to someone who didn't. If the government hadn’t supplied the means for redistributing that money, you’d just be a mugger.
It was only a few months ago that we were being told that Merrill Lynch, among others, desperately needed billions of dollars to survive, that without injections of new capital the financial system would come crashing down around us. If any of this was true, it should have been impossible for Merrill to pay out $15 billion in bonuses. Even the sharpest critics of the bailout never imagined that it would be used to make wealthy idiots even wealthier.
All of this is a reminder of why it is very, very dangerous to allow the government to rescue firms instead of allowing the market to decide who should survive. Perhaps instead of a bailout, we should have confined the TARP to overseeing the orderly disolution of failed financial institutions.

"If we don't pay bonuses when firms take the TARP, they won't take it." This is the most sophisticated argument for huge bonuses. In Germany, this actually happened. As it turns out, executives would rather risk their firm collapsing due to lack of capital than give up their big paydays. But there's an easy solution to this: throw the bastards out. The boards of every single financial company that turned down bailout bucks with a bonus limit could demand a full accounting of why a bank's executives think it is healthy enough to forego a bailout. And if they aren't satisfied they should just fire the management.
Look. We’re not hysterical opponents of paying big bonuses. Actually, I'm on the record as defending huge bonuses from a couple of years ago. If your firm makes money, it can decide how to reward its employees. If it loses money, it can still decide to pay bonuses if it still has cash on hand. But when you pay yourself a bonus with taxpayer money you are simply taking money from someone who earned it and giving it to someone who didn't. If the government hadn’t supplied the means for redistributing that money, you’d just be a mugger.
It was only a few months ago that we were being told that Merrill Lynch, among others, desperately needed billions of dollars to survive, that without injections of new capital the financial system would come crashing down around us. If any of this was true, it should have been impossible for Merrill to pay out $15 billion in bonuses. Even the sharpest critics of the bailout never imagined that it would be used to make wealthy idiots even wealthier.
All of this is a reminder of why it is very, very dangerous to allow the government to rescue firms instead of allowing the market to decide who should survive. Perhaps instead of a bailout, we should have confined the TARP to overseeing the orderly disolution of failed financial institutions.

NSA Whistleblower: Wiretaps Were Combined With Credit Card Records of US Citizens
Friday 23 January 2009

by: Kim Zetter, Wired
NSA whistleblower Russell Tice was back on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC program Thursday evening to expand on his Wednesday revelations that the National Security Agency spied on individual U.S. journalists, entire U.S. news agencies as well as "tens of thousands" of other Americans.
Tice said on Wednesday that the NSA had vacuumed in all domestic communications of Americans, including, faxes, phone calls and network traffic.
Today Tice said that the spy agency also combined information from phone wiretaps with data that was mined from credit card and other financial records. He said information of tens of thousands of U.S. citizens is now in digital databases warehoused at the NSA.
"This [information] could sit there for ten years and then potentially it marries up with something else and ten years from now they get put on a no-fly list and they, of course, won't have a clue why," Tice said.....

Re: Circumvention and avoidance, by public (USG) and private individuals/entities acting individually, jointly and/or in conspiracy with others that illegally restrict and/or interfere with the named recipient’s (Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.) ability to take possession and/or have access to lawfully deposited monies and/or financial instruments:
Dear Mr Burrus and Ms. Will:
For an extended period of time Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., have been diligently attempting to have access to monies that were transferred through international bank monetary clearing systems to financial institutions located in the United States of America for the sole and exclusive benefit of Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.
The foreign party that originated the transfer of said money/financial instruments specifically designated Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta as sole and exclusive recipient for the transferred money/financial instruments. AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. was appointed as a named party on certain operating bank accounts that were established to facilitate satisfaction of certain fiduciary responsibilities to third parties and also for ongoing business operations.
Irrespective of efforts proffered by Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., and/or agents and representatives of Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., both public and private affiliated individuals and entities, continually conspire jointly, severally and individually, with known and unknown parties in a manner that, contrary to the “Rule of Law”, prevents Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., from being able to exercise their legal right to the unrestricted use, transfer and disbursement of said funds.
The operations, entities, departments and individuals that are known by Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. to have participated in committing one or more overt acts and/or activities in furtherance of the apparent conspiracy preventing lawful access to money and securities include but are not necessarily limited to the following:
• Bank of America.
• JPMorganChase.
• CITIBANK/CITIGROUP/NYC and elsewhere, including but not limited to Mr Charles O. Prince, CITIGROUP Chief Executive Officer.
• Goldman Sachs et al including but not limited to all past and present management and executive officers and all members of the Boards of Directors.
• United States Department of the Treasury including but not limited to Secretary Paulson, Deputy Secretary Kimmitt and other known/unknown parties working directly or under contract with the United States Department of the Treasury.
• Secretary Chertoff, Department of Homeland Security and other known and/or unknown parties working directly or under contract with the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• One or more known and/or unknown “compliance officers” that act directly and/or under contract with the private bank/security house to observe rules and regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and/or other USG investigative and/or reporting entities.
• Securities and Exchange Commission and all known and/or unknown parties acting directly and/or under contract with the Securities and Exchange Commission that have failed to prevent diversion and/or manipulation by any third party of the financial interests of Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.
• Such other known and/or unknown parties that despite notice continue to use their legal and/or statutory power to lift any restrictions and/or limitations on the immediate access to monies and financial instruments by Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc.
There is more than probable cause to believe that the referenced individuals, agencies, public, private, nominated officials and elected officials have knowingly, overtly, covertly and with specific intent conspired together to defraud Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. The individual and/or conspiratorial acts clearly amount to a violation of the Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 (as amended in 1970), the Bank Privacy Act, the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, specifically R.I.C.O. and applicable international and national money laundering restrictions. In addition it is further asserted that the mentioned “acting in concert” by each of the participating parties entitles Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc. to claim a violation of H.R. 3723 as the same pertains to private business transactions being protected under both private and criminal penalties.
It is also suggested that a reasonable and prudent investigation will reveal that one or more USG officials (nominated and/or elected) have participated in bribery directed at foreign government officials and/or committed acts of extortion toward foreign government officials contrary to the Fair Practices Corruption Act and/or other laws and regulations adopted in the United States and through international treaty prohibiting payment of consideration to a foreign government party in exchange for either action and/or non-action from the foreign party.
Reasonable action has been taken by the principals/victims in an attempt to obtain explanation and/or under what authority all of the parties mentioned herein are not following the “Rule of Law” and permitting access by Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., to the financial accounts referenced herein. Despite continued written notice and request for a response the named parties continue to avoid their legal obligations and continue to commit covert and/or overt acts in furtherance of their knowing and purposeful violation of the statutory references mentioned herinabove in this letter.
It is requested that your immediate attention be given to this matter and that notice be provided on your acceptance of this complaint for investigation. As legal counsel to Leo E. Wanta/Lee E. Wanta, and AmeriTrust Groupe, Inc., I will make my clients available to answer questions and supply other information deemed appropriate to expand and complete your investigation.

Re: Attached three-page letter addressed to James H. Burrus Jr., Assistant Director, Criminal Investigations Division and Candice M. Will, Assistant Director, Office of Professional Responsibility: Sent: via United States mail:
The subject matter presented in the attached letter has previously been communicated to all members of the President’s Cabinet and specific executive parties associated with the United States Department of the Treasury and other agencies and bureaus directly responsible for investigation of the subject matter of the criminal activity proffered in the subject letter.
Most recently my clients have been advised that Secretary Chertoff expressed that he is not aware of any financial obligations owed to any third parties within the scope of the complaint set forth in the attached letter. With all due respect Secretary Chertoff misconstrues the complaint of my clients. The subject of the complaint does not make any assertion that Secretary Chertoff and for that matter any other person(s) owe my clients money. The complaint is quite simple. Secretary Chertoff and others are illegally asserting control over financial assets that are the property of my clients. Said public officials are illegally preventing my clients from having access to the mentioned financial assets. The financial assets are the sole and exclusive legal property of my clients and access to the financial assets are being illegally blocked by Secretary Chertoff and others.
It is respectfully submitted that the Department of Justice, including but not limited to the FBI, the United States Department of Treasury and the Securities and Exchange Commission be directed to immediately conduct an investigation into the subject matter of the complaint in the attached letter.
Respectfully submitted

Citigroup about to complete purchase of brand new $50 million corporate jet.»
The New York Post reports today that Citgroup — the recent recipient of a $45 billion government bailout — is about to receive a brand new $50 million corporate jet:
The French-made luxury jet seats up to 12 in a plush interior with leather seats, sofas and a customizable entertainment center, according to Dassault’s sales literature. … There are just nine of these top-of-the-line models in the United States, with Dassault’s European factory churning out three to four 7Xs a month.
“Why should I help you when what you write will be used to the detriment of our company?” replied Bill McNamee, head of CitiFlight Inc., the subsidiary that manages Citigroup’s corporate fleet, when asked to comment about the new 7X.
Earlier this month, a provision requiring the recipients of TARP funds to give up their corporate jets was stripped from the legislation.

“Rogue” Trader Highlights Possible 9/11 and 7/7 Insider Trading
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Friday, Jan 23rd, 2009
According to an article in The London Times today, Société Générale rogue trader Jérôme Kerviel profited enormously on the day of the 7/7 London bombings. He has also revealed how his company made huge profits on September 11th 2001, prompting some to return to questions over insider foreknowledge of both terrorist attacks.
The article states:
“The best trading day in the history of Société Générale was September 11, 2001,” he said. “At least, that’s what one of my managers told me. It seems that profits were colossal that day.

“Rogue” Trader Highlights Possible 9/11 and 7/7 Insider Trading

According to an article in The London Times today, Société Générale rogue trader Jérôme Kerviel profited enormously on the day of the 7/7 London bombings. He has also revealed how his company made huge profits on September 11th 2001, prompting some to return to questions over insider foreknowledge of both terrorist attacks.
The article states:
“The best trading day in the history of Société Générale was September 11, 2001,” he said. “At least, that’s what one of my managers told me. It seems that profits were colossal that day.
“I had a similar experience during the London attacks in July 2005.”
A few days earlier he had bet on a fall in the share price of Allianz, the German insurance giant, he told Le Parisien.

WHY they fear ERIC HOLDER? Bean's complaints and facts...and PATRIOT ACT MURDERS using NSA SIGINT wi FBI STANDING DOWN LIKE PUSSIES

Why they FEAR Eric Holder (and President Obama)...
by dengre
Thu Jan 22, 2009 at 09:36:30 PM PST
The Republican Party and the conservative movement are terrified by Eric Holder and stopping Holder has become a matter of self-preservation for the Party of Failure. They are afraid that an active, engaged and independent DOJ will actually investigate political corruption, torture and the other crimes of their recent years in power. If ongoing investigations (like the Abramoff scandal) are freed from political restraints, many current and former elected Republicans, their staffers, funders and lobbyists could find themselves under indictment....
...It was looking like Specter was out on the branch all alone. It was looking like his effort was failing and that the not-too-subtle undercurrent of racism woven into right-wing attacks on Eric Holder were beginning to damage Specter and his Party. It looked like the Republican Party had realized that fighting the first African-American Attorney General with nothing more than Clinton hatred, lies, innuendo and racist dog whistles was a losing strategy.
And then President Barack Obama issued an Executive Order on Presidential Records. For Republican Corruptionists, this was the last straw. It came on the heels of a long line of statements and comments by the new President about the power his Attorney General would have when it comes to looking into past misdeeds.
For example, on January 11, 2009 the President told George Stephanopoulos that the decision to launch an investigation into torture and other Bush war crimes would be left to his Attorney General (emphasis added):
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, let me just press that one more time. You're not ruling out prosecution, but will you tell your Justice Department to investigate these cases and follow the evidence wherever it leads?
OBAMA: What I -- I think my general view when it comes to my attorney general is he is the people's lawyer. Eric Holder's been nominated. His job is to uphold the Constitution and look after the interests of the American people, not to be swayed by my day-to-day politics. So, ultimately, he's going to be making some calls, but my general belief is that when it comes to national security, what we have to focus on is getting things right in the future, as opposed looking at what we got wrong in the past.
That got quite a few folks in the GOP pretty nervous.
And the testimony of Eric Holder during his confirmation hearing did not calmed their nerves. In his testimony, Holder clearly said that water-boarding was torture and he refused to say that those who engaged in torture, or authorized it, should be granted automatic immunity from prosecution.

_______________________
This is troubling to loyal Bushies and members of the Conservative moral failure caucus. Still, they had an Ace up their sleeve to ensure that evidence of their wrongdoing would never see the light of day. They had Executive Privilege. Holder could become Attorney General, but the records of the Bush/Cheney years would be sealed for decades at the National Archives under a big, fat Executive Privilege stamp.
Then yesterday it all came crashing down. At 1:22 pm EST that safeguard of Executive Privilege turned out to be rooted in magical thinking. Their imagined protection from the law vanished as President Barack Obama announced an Executive Order on Presidential Records.
These words from President Obama must have sent cell phones and PDAs buzzing from Washington to Texas to Wyoming (emphasis added):
"I will also hold myself as President to a new standard of openness. Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former President wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the White House Counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law. Information will not be withheld just because I say so. It will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well grounded in the Constitution.
Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."
The Republican reaction was fast. At 2:30 the Senate’s Judiciary Committee was schedule to vote on Eric Holder’s nomination. Within a half hour of Obama’s announcement that the Attorney General would have a say in how claims of Executive Privilege by George W. Bush would be resolved, the GOP announce that they would block Holder’s confirmation for at least a week and possibly longer.
Of course Arlen Specter is still there carrying water for the criminals of the Bush years, but a new Champion of Corruption has danced into the spotlight. That would be "Big John" Cornyn of Texas who led the effort to delay the confirmation of Eric Holder. The stated reason was Cornyn’s concern that those responsible for approving and executing war crimes, like torture might, just might, be investigated and—if the evidence proves that a crime was committed—prosecuted. That is the stated reason, but the crimes of the Bush years go far deeper than violations of the Geneva Conventions and war crimes. There are more mundane crimes as well. Graft, bribery, pay for play, abuse of power, vote rigging, partisan prosecutions (remember Don Siegelman) and many others.
One of these Republican crime sprees is the Abramoff Scandal.
Turns out that Jack Abramoff had operatives working for him and the Republican Party in the DOJ.
Last year, one of them, Robert Coughlin plead guilty to helping Abramoff and his fellow corruptionists commit their crimes from his position within the DOJ. There could be more. The Baltimore office of the US Attorney had to be brought in to investigate Bush appointees in the DC office of the DOJ where Coughlin used to work. That investigation is still very active. And then there are the many ties between Jack Abramoff and John Ashcroft that have yet to bubble up into a news cycle. The ongoing Abramoff scandal is just one example of a corruption investigation slow-walked by the Bush DOJ. That Eric Holder might be willing to accelerate this and other investigations to actively fight the Culture of Corruption in Washington might be very worrisome to certain Republicans.
One Senator who has some cause to worry about a more aggressive DOJ investigating political corruption is "Big John" Cornyn of Texas.
According to recent DOJ Court filings in Abramoff related scandal cases the DOJ has a vault filled with millions of Abramoff related emails. As well as millions of other pages of related documents (billing records, interviews, financial records and the like). One name that is certainly frequently mentioned in these documents is John Cornyn.
Before he became a US Senator, he was a member of the Supreme Court of Texas.
In that role he helped Jack run a few scams on some Native American Tribes and supported the effort by Tom DeLay to take over the Texas Legislature in 2002 and then draw new Republican slanted Congressional Districts in mid-decade. If the Bush documents about torture could be release, then the Abramoff related documents of the Bush White House could be released as well. And an investigation into that scandal trail could put Big John in the Big House.
No wonder he is fighting Holder like his freedom depends on it.
It might.
There is a lot of discussion on this site and others about the need to investigate and expose the crimes of the Bush Years. I, like many others, feel that something must be done. The Republican Party through Specter, Cornyn and other corruptionist stooges is trying to extract a commitment that all Bush era crimes will be swept under the rug as the price for Eric Holder’s confirmation. They might get away with this if we let them.
We can not let that happen.
We need to make some noise and get Eric Holder’s back. We need to let the GOP know that there is a price to pay for obstructing this appointment....
Cheers

US judge denies request for hearings on CIA torture tapes
By Joe Kay
11 January 2008
A federal judge on Wednesday denied a motion for an examination into whether the Bush administration violated a court order when the CIA destroyed videotapes depicting torture in 2005. The move closes off one avenue for an inquiry outside of the official whitewash that has been initiated by the Department of Justice.
The decision was issued by Judge Henry Kennedy of the US District Court for the District of Columbia. Kennedy had given an order in June 2005, five months before the videotapes were destroyed, requiring the government to preserve all “evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.”
The videotapes destroyed by the CIA recorded hundreds of hours of the agency’s 2002 interrogation of alleged Al Qaeda members Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. The tapes were secretly destroyed in November 2005, shortly after the existence of the CIA’s system of international prisons was exposed to the public. The action was taken despite several relevant pending court cases, including one before Kennedy involving eleven Yemeni prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay.
The CIA admitted last month that it had destroyed the videotapes. The methods used on Zubaydah and al-Nashiri included waterboarding, a notorious torture technique.
Lawyers for the Yemeni prisoners filed a motion asking Kennedy to investigate whether the action by the CIA violated the June 2005 order. In a preliminary hearing on the motion last month, the government argued that the videotapes in question are not relevant to the case because the prisoners were not at Guantánamo Bay at the time. They were transferred to Guantánamo in late 2006 from secret overseas CIA detention facilities that were not public when the court issued its order. The Justice Department also argued that any court action would interfere with the government’s own self-investigation.
David Remes, a lawyer for the prisoners, argued against the government last month. “We have a smoking gun, as it were, with respect to the government’s destruction of potentially relevant evidence,” he told Kennedy. “The Justice Department may have sanctioned the destruction of these videotapes. Now they are asking the court to stay out, on the grounds that it is investigating the destruction of these videotapes.”
Remes noted that the government’s demand to allow it to investigate itself is a case of “the fox in charge of the henhouse.”
“The revelation of the CIA’s destruction [of the tapes] raises serious questions about whether the government has complied with the court’s order ... and its more general obligations,” Remes said. He noted that the government was obliged to protect all relevant evidence even if it did not fall under the specific remit of a court order. Indeed, the government argued at one point in the case that no court order to preserve evidence was necessary because it was aware of its general legal obligation not to destroy anything that could be relevant.
Reyes also argued that the fact that the government had destroyed some videotapes was an indication that it was likely that other evidence had also been destroyed or suppressed.
On Wednesday, Kennedy—who was appointed to the district court by Bill Clinton in 1997—issued a ruling accepting the government’s arguments in the case, noting that the order was specifically directed to prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay.
On a technicality, Kennedy rejected the claim by lawyers for the prisoners that a hearing was necessary because the government had a more general obligation to preserve all evidence relating to the case. He said that this specific claim was not included in the written motion requesting a hearing and therefore could not be acted upon.
Kennedy acknowledged that his decision was influenced “by the assurances of the Department of Justice that its preliminary inquiry—now a criminal investigation—into the destruction of the videotapes by the CIA will include the issue of whether their destruction was inconsistent with or violated any legal obligations, including those arising out of civil matters such as [this court’s] Order of June 2005.”
Responding to Remes’ statement that an investigation by the government could not be credible, Kennedy replied, “There is no reason to disregard the Department of Justice’s assurances.... This presumption is especially warranted with respect to the newly-appointed Attorney General and Department of Justice lawyers.” Here Kennedy was referring to the fact that the investigation is being carried out under the authority of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who replaced Alberto Gonzales in November.
In fact, there is every reason to believe that the criminal investigation by the Justice Department will be a whitewash. Mukasey announced the appointment last week of John Durham to head the investigation. This was presented by the media and by Democrats as a move to place an outsider in charge of the investigation, since Durham is from Connecticut and not Washington.
In fact, Durham will have none of the powers of a special prosecutor or independent investigator. The criminal investigation will remain entirely under the control of the Justice Department and the Bush administration—that is, the principal suspects in the crime.
Remes had suggested that a judicial inquiry would involve testimony from senior lawyers at the White House and Justice Department—something that the administration is desperate to avoid. Last month, the New York Times reported that at least four administration lawyers—including then White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief lawyer, David Addington—were involved in several discussions between 2003 and 2005 on plans to destroy the tapes.
Kennedy’s decision may bolster the government as it seeks to block judicial inquiries in separate cases. The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a different federal judge to find the CIA in contempt of court for destroying the tapes. In May 2004, the ACLU had obtained an order from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for the CIA to turn over or account for all documents relating to the treatment of detainees in its custody, not only those held at Guantánamo Bay.
In a separate matter, lawyers for Jose Rodriguez, the former head of clandestine operations at the CIA, have sent a letter to the House Intelligence Committee saying that Rodriguez will not testify in scheduled hearings without a grant of immunity. According to press reports, Rodriguez, who recently retired from the CIA, was the individual directly responsible for ordering the destruction of the tapes.
The Bush administration is counting on Democrats in Congress to keep tightly contained any investigations into the destruction of the tapes. The January 16 hearings before the House Intelligence Committee—the only scheduled hearings so far announced—will be closed, meaning that any information will be kept from public view. In addition to Rodriguez, CIA acting General Counsel John Rizzo is scheduled to appear before the committee.
A grant of immunity to Rodriguez could affect any future prosecution, and the Democrats may use this to justify delaying any formal hearings involving Rodriguez or other officials involved. Silvestre Reyes, the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has so far declined to comment on the demand for immunity. No Democrats have suggested that Bush administration officials and lawyers should be subpoenaed in the investigation.
Whether or not Rodriguez testifies, no serious investigation will take place in the Democratic-controlled congressional committees, since such an investigation would have to examine the complicity of leading Democrats in the initial policy of torture and the subsequent cover-up and destruction of the videotapes.

Kennedy had given an order in June 2005, five months before the videotapes were destroyed, requiring the government to preserve all “evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.”
The videotapes destroyed by the CIA recorded hundreds of hours of the agency’s 2002 interrogation of alleged Al Qaeda members Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. The tapes were secretly destroyed in November 2005, shortly after the existence of the CIA’s system of international prisons was exposed to the public. The action was taken despite several relevant pending court cases, including one before Kennedy involving eleven Yemeni prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay.
The CIA admitted last month that it had destroyed the videotapes. The methods used on Zubaydah and al-Nashiri included waterboarding, a notorious torture technique.
Lawyers for the Yemeni prisoners filed a motion asking Kennedy to investigate whether the action by the CIA violated the June 2005 order. In a preliminary hearing on the motion last month, the government argued that the videotapes in question are not relevant to the case because the prisoners were not at Guantánamo Bay at the time. They were transferred to Guantánamo in late 2006 from secret overseas CIA detention facilities that were not public when the court issued its order. The Justice Department also argued that any court action would interfere with the government’s own self-investigation.
David Remes, a lawyer for the prisoners, argued against the government last month. “We have a smoking gun, as it were, with respect to the government’s destruction of potentially relevant evidence,” he told Kennedy. “The Justice Department may have sanctioned the destruction of these videotapes. Now they are asking the court to stay out, on the grounds that it is investigating the destruction of these videotapes.”
Remes noted that the government’s demand to allow it to investigate itself is a case of “the fox in charge of the henhouse.”
“The revelation of the CIA’s destruction [of the tapes] raises serious questions about whether the government has complied with the court’s order ... and its more general obligations,” Remes said. He noted that the government was obliged to protect all relevant evidence even if it did not fall under the specific remit of a court order. Indeed, the government argued at one point in the case that no court order to preserve evidence was necessary because it was aware of its general legal obligation not to destroy anything that could be relevant.
Reyes also argued that the fact that the government had destroyed some videotapes was an indication that it was likely that other evidence had also been destroyed or suppressed.
On Wednesday, Kennedy—who was appointed to the district court by Bill Clinton in 1997—issued a ruling accepting the government’s arguments in the case, noting that the order was specifically directed to prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay.
On a technicality, Kennedy rejected the claim by lawyers for the prisoners that a hearing was necessary because the government had a more general obligation to preserve all evidence relating to the case. He said that this specific claim was not included in the written motion requesting a hearing and therefore could not be acted upon.
Kennedy acknowledged that his decision was influenced “by the assurances of the Department of Justice that its preliminary inquiry—now a criminal investigation—into the destruction of the videotapes by the CIA will include the issue of whether their destruction was inconsistent with or violated any legal obligations, including those arising out of civil matters such as [this court’s] Order of June 2005.”
Responding to Remes’ statement that an investigation by the government could not be credible, Kennedy replied, “There is no reason to disregard the Department of Justice’s assurances.... This presumption is especially warranted with respect to the newly-appointed Attorney General and Department of Justice lawyers.” Here Kennedy was referring to the fact that the investigation is being carried out under the authority of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, who replaced Alberto Gonzales in November.
In fact, there is every reason to believe that the criminal investigation by the Justice Department will be a whitewash. Mukasey announced the appointment last week of John Durham to head the investigation. This was presented by the media and by Democrats as a move to place an outsider in charge of the investigation, since Durham is from Connecticut and not Washington.
In fact, Durham will have none of the powers of a special prosecutor or independent investigator. The criminal investigation will remain entirely under the control of the Justice Department and the Bush administration—that is, the principal suspects in the crime.
Remes had suggested that a judicial inquiry would involve testimony from senior lawyers at the White House and Justice Department—something that the administration is desperate to avoid. Last month, the New York Times reported that at least four administration lawyers—including then White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief lawyer, David Addington—were involved in several discussions between 2003 and 2005 on plans to destroy the tapes.
Kennedy’s decision may bolster the government as it seeks to block judicial inquiries in separate cases. The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a different federal judge to find the CIA in contempt of court for destroying the tapes. In May 2004, the ACLU had obtained an order from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York for the CIA to turn over or account for all documents relating to the treatment of detainees in its custody, not only those held at Guantánamo Bay.
In a separate matter, lawyers for Jose Rodriguez, the former head of clandestine operations at the CIA, have sent a letter to the House Intelligence Committee saying that Rodriguez will not testify in scheduled hearings without a grant of immunity. According to press reports, Rodriguez, who recently retired from the CIA, was the individual directly responsible for ordering the destruction of the tapes.
The Bush administration is counting on Democrats in Congress to keep tightly contained any investigations into the destruction of the tapes. The January 16 hearings before the House Intelligence Committee—the only scheduled hearings so far announced—will be closed, meaning that any information will be kept from public view. In addition to Rodriguez, CIA acting General Counsel John Rizzo is scheduled to appear before the committee.
A grant of immunity to Rodriguez could affect any future prosecution, and the Democrats may use this to justify delaying any formal hearings involving Rodriguez or other officials involved. Silvestre Reyes, the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has so far declined to comment on the demand for immunity. No Democrats have suggested that Bush administration officials and lawyers should be subpoenaed in the investigation.
Whether or not Rodriguez testifies, no serious investigation will take place in the Democratic-controlled congressional committees, since such an investigation would have to examine the complicity of leading Democrats in the initial policy of torture and the subsequent cover-up and destruction of the videotapes.

Obama's orders leave torture, indefinite detention intact
Obama's orders leave torture, indefinite detention intact
By Tom Eley
On Thursday, President Barack Obama issued executive orders mandating the closure of the Guantánamo Bay prison camp in a year’s time, requiring that Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and military personnel follow the Army Field Manual’s prohibitions on torture, and closing secret CIA prisons overseas.
While the media is portraying these orders as a repudiation of the detention and interrogation policies of the Bush administration, they actually change little. They essentially represent a public relations effort to refurbish the image of the United States abroad after years of torture and extralegal detentions and shield high-ranking American officials from potential criminal prosecution.
In cowardly fashion, Obama staged his signing of the orders in a manner aimed at placating the political right and defenders of Guantanamo and torture and underscoring his intention to continue the Bush administration’s “war on terror.” He was flanked by 16 retired generals and admirals who have pushed for the closure of the prison camp in Cuba on the grounds that it impedes the prosecution of the global “war” and reiterated in his own remarks his determination to continue the basic political framework of the Bush administration’s foreign policy.
The continuation of the ideological pretext for wars of aggression and attacks on democratic rights ensures that the police state infrastructure erected under the Bush administration will remain intact. This is further reinforced by Obama’s assurances that his administration will not investigate or prosecute those officials--including Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales and others—who were responsible for the policies of torture and illegal detention.

Mr Obama...I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO BACK DOWN THOSE WHO HAVE AND WILL CONTINUALLY EXTORT your complicity in their onging mafia crimes against this country.

Notice that MUELLER--DOD--CIA did not have a problem with that? See, LEO WANTA TRUST FUND SWINDLED BY BUSH--CLINTON CRIME FAMILY and...how the Queen's blogger has noticed that the "amount of the initial bailout" is identical to that amount owed to the swindled parties?
That info...is a key to your future hegemony and political freedom.
___________________________________
The orders signed by Obama do not undo the Bush administration’s attacks on constitutional and international law. They do not challenge the supposed right of the president to unilaterally imprison any individual, without trial and without charges, by declaring him to be an “enemy combatant.” Nor do they end the procedure known as “extraordinary rendition,” by which the United States during the Bush years kidnapped alleged terrorists and shipped them to foreign countries or secret CIA prisons outside the US, where they were subjected to torture.
They do not affect the hundreds of prisoners--600 at the Bagram prison camp in Afghanistan alone—incarcerated beyond the barbed wire of Guantanamo. If and when Guantanamo is closed, the US government will simply ship alleged terrorists caught up its international dragnet to other American-run prison camps.
On the question of so-called “harsh interrogation techniques,” i.e., torture, Obama’s orders leave room for their continuation. White House Counsel Gregory Craig told reporters the administration was prepared to take into account demands from the CIA that such methods be allowed. Obama announced the creation of a task force that will consider new interrogation methods beyond those sanctioned by the Army Field Manual, which now accepts 19 forms of interrogation, as well as the practice of extraordinary rendition.
Retired Admiral Dennis Blair, Obama’s nominee for director of national intelligence, told a Senate confirmation hearing that the Army Field Manual would itself be changed, potentially allowing new forms of harsh interrogation, but that such changes would be kept secret.

Obama also announced a second task force that is to consider the fate of the 245 detainees remaining at Guantanamo. Earlier this week he suspended the military commission procedures at the prison camp, but has not abolished the military commissions themselves.
The new administration has ruled out the only constitutional remedy for those who have been held under barbaric conditions, without due process, for years—either releasing them or giving them a speedy trial in a civilian court, with all of the accompanying legal protections and guarantees. There has been a great deal of speculation that the administration may support the establishment of a special National Security Court within the civilian court system to try Guantanamo prisoners and other alleged terrorists. This would represent yet another attack on civil liberties, setting up a drumhead court system to railroad those charged with terrorism—something that could in future be used to repress political opposition.
According to NBC Nightly News on Thursday, the administration is considering keeping some 20 Guantanamo detainees, including the five alleged 9/11 conspirators currently facing military commission trials, imprisoned indefinitely without charges in a military brig within the US.
Commentators have noted that the Obama administration wants to prevent noncitizens detained as terrorists from being able to exercise habeus corpus rights.
Two separate measures taken Tuesday and Thursday by Obama point to a further major consideration behind his moves to close Guantanamo and finesse the issue of torture. On Thursday the administration requested a stay in the habeas corpus appeal to the Supreme Court by the only alleged enemy combatant now held on US soil—Ali al-Marri, of Qatar, whom Obama has called “dangerous.” Al-Marri’s lawyers are challenging the right of the president to arrest and jail individuals by declaring them enemy combatants, and it was expected that the Supreme Court’s hearing of the appeal would force Obama to reveal his position on the issue.
This followed Tuesday’s request for a stay from the Federal District Court in Washington in similar appeals that could affect the cases of more than 200 Guantánamo prisoners.
Thus, the immediate effect of the new administration’s moves is to halt civilian trials that could prove immensely damaging to the government by revealing systematic torture of the detainees and could potentially entangle high government officials.

NSA Whistleblower Claims Bush Spied On All Americans
Disclaimer: This article is a blog post and does not represent the views or opinions of Reiten Television, KXNet.com, its staff and associates and is wholly owned by the user who posted this content.
Now that President Bush is no longer in office, suddenly one of the NSA whistleblowers is embellishing his story (to the perpetually spittle-flecked Keith Olbermann, no less) with claims that Bush spied on all Americans and targeted journalists specifically.
Russell Tice, a former NSA analyst, spoke on Wednesday to MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. Tice has acknowledged in the past being one of the anonymous sources that spoke with The New York Times for its 2005 story on the government’s warrantless wiretapping program.

One other source for NYTIMES was TAMM at DOJ.
FBI harassed him to this day?
Another source was US SENATOR CHARLES GRASSLEY and his staff, who "got my ten page memo outlining the NSA TSP and FBI crimes" with reference to the US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT that to this day...BIG, BAD, DRUG DEALING, SWINDLING, LYING, FUCKHEAD BOB MUELLER has covered up.
BOB MUELLER is a coward and secret fence sitting cocksucker who...always plays both sides against the middle while obstructing justice by doing nothing for nobody including the American public.
It all comes down on pussified fuckheads at FBI HQ who followed a punk little protocol that effectively denied this country justice, impeachment, exposure, and the lives of so many soldiers. And...but for Mueller's GOP Gestapo, CHENEY WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED WITH MOSSAD TO EXTORT THE BAILOUT BILL AS PART OF THE PAYBACK ON THE SWINDLED LEO WANTA TRUST FUND swindle that DESTROYED THE WORLD'S BANKING SYSTEM.
BOB MUELLER was the gatekeeper whose orders were...to protect the GOP--MOSSAD--NEOCON--CHENEY crime family.
Mueller...has to go.
Proof that MUELLER'S FBI is in on "covering up Cheney's crimes" while covering up their own crimes? See, US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT signed by THOMAS S. BEAN under penalty of prosecution. Alot of PULITIZER PRIZE STORIES come from that complaint, and my second complaint covering OUTRAGEOUS DUMBFUCKERY BY FBI--NSA--HLS--CHENEY covering the dates 11--2006 through January 2009.
More murders of my known associates for MUELLERS BOGUS GOP GESTAPO TO IGNORE?
NOTE: I will not cooperate, respect, or cooperate with ANY FAGGOT FBI COCKSUCKER while BOB MUELLER IS STILL ALLOWED TO CONTINUALLY BREAK THE LAW while fagging around with his usual cowardly politicized faggot punk con that amounts to CONSPIRACIES TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE BY REMAINING DELIBERATELY INDIFFERENT (for Mueller's benefit...it always comes down to MUELLER'S BENEFIT not justice).
MUELLER HAS TO GO.
IF HOLDER AND OBAMA want POWER TO BACK DOWN THE EXTORTIONISTS who "selected his cabinet for them"...they got to go through me.
I will not cooperate until MUELLER IS REPLACED and run the fuck out of the way.
Enough of this shit from CHENEY'S PAL BOB MUELLER, WHOSE ONLY JOB WAS AND IS TO COVER UP FBI--CIA--NSA--DOD--HLS CRIMES targeting witnesses, complainants, and innocent white collar professionals (my family, my friends, and any known associate).
Go ask KEITH OLBERMANN, what it's like to get a terrorist threat in the mail, while MUELLER does not investigate and refuses to check the CALEA INTERFACE to find the ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING ON KEITH OLBERMANN'S TELEPHONE...just like SEN GRASSLEY'S FINANCE AID getting assaulted with a baseball bat while FUCKHEAD PUNK COCKSUCKING LIAR BOB MUELLER, stands down on criminal leads that solves these PATRIOT ACT CRIMES against dissentors, witnesses, and THE US SENATE STAFF?????
And this fuckhead Mueller...still has a job?
___________________________________________
After that story was published, President Bush said in a statement that only people in the United States who were talking with terrorists overseas would have been targeted for surveillance.
But Tice says, in truth, the spying involved a dragnet of all communications, confirming what critics have long assumed.

Tice said the NSA analyzed metadata to determine which communication would be collected. Offering a hypothetical example, he said if the agency determined that terrorists communicate in brief, two-minute phone calls, the NSA might program its systems to record all such calls, invading the privacy of anyone prone to telephonic succinctness.
I’m not sure why this is much of a revelation. We’ve known for years now that what the NSA created was a database of call data, “metadata” as it’s called above, which included things like the originating number for a call. The destination number. Time. Date. Duration. This allowed the NSA to search that database for patterns that might indicate communication between terrorists and their organizations.

___________________________________
And, I’d point out that querying such data is a much different thing than listening in on phone calls. Data such as call length is what’s called “on the envelope” information. Obviously, when you mail something the data you put on the outside of the envelope (the destination address, your return address, the postmark, etc.) isn’t private. It’s the data you put in the envelope that’s private, and the same principle applies to phone calls.

Risen: I May Have Been A Victim Of The NSA’s Program Spying On Journalists»
Earlier this week on MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” former National Security Agency (NSA) analyst Russell Tice revealed that the agency had “monitored all communications” of Americans — specifically targeting journalists.
To discuss this development, Olbermann yesterday hosted Pulitzer-Prize winning New York Times reporter James Risen, who famously angered the Bush administration by revealing the government’s domestic wiretapping program and its secret snooping on the financial records of thousands of Americans allegedly linked to terrorists.
Since that time, the Bush Justice Department had been trying to identify Risen’s sources for his book on the nation’s spy agencies, called State of War. In April, the New York Times reported that former government officials had been called before a grand jury and confronted with phone records documenting their calls with Risen. Neither Risen nor the New York Times had received a subpoena for those records.
Risen told Olbermann that in light of Tice’s revelations, he believes he may have been a target of the NSA’s journalist-spying program:
OLBERMANN: Do you believe you have been a target of this NSA wiretap program?
RISEN: What I know for a fact is that the Bush administration got my phone records. Whether that was obtained by the FBI or the NSA, my lawyers and I have been trying to investigate that. We’re not sure. But we know for a fact that they showed my phone records to other people in the federal grand jury. And we have asked the court to investigate that.
Risen added that he believes the purpose of the NSA’s efforts was to “have a chilling effect on potential whistle blowers in the government, to make them realize that there is a big brother out there that will get them if they step out of line.” Watch it:

NSA Whistleblower Claims Bush Spied On All Americans

Now that President Bush is no longer in office, suddenly one of the NSA whistleblowers is embellishing his story (to the perpetually spittle-flecked Keith Olbermann, no less) with claims that Bush spied on all Americans and targeted journalists specifically.
Russell Tice, a former NSA analyst, spoke on Wednesday to MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. Tice has acknowledged in the past being one of the anonymous sources that spoke with The New York Times for its 2005 story on the government’s warrantless wiretapping program.

One other source for NYTIMES was TAMM at DOJ.
FBI harassed him to this day?
Another source was US SENATOR CHARLES GRASSLEY and his staff, who "got my ten page memo outlining the NSA TSP and FBI crimes" with reference to the US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT that to this day...BIG, BAD, DRUG DEALING, SWINDLING, LYING, FUCKHEAD BOB MUELLER has covered up.
BOB MUELLER is a coward and secret fence sitting cocksucker who...always plays both sides against the middle while obstructing justice by doing nothing for nobody including the American public.
It all comes down on pussified fuckheads at FBI HQ who followed a punk little protocol that effectively denied this country justice, impeachment, exposure, and the lives of so many soldiers. And...but for Mueller's GOP Gestapo, CHENEY WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED WITH MOSSAD TO EXTORT THE BAILOUT BILL AS PART OF THE PAYBACK ON THE SWINDLED LEO WANTA TRUST FUND swindle that DESTROYED THE WORLD'S BANKING SYSTEM.
BOB MUELLER was the gatekeeper whose orders were...to protect the GOP--MOSSAD--NEOCON--CHENEY crime family.
Mueller...has to go.
Proof that MUELLER'S FBI is in on "covering up Cheney's crimes" while covering up their own crimes? See, US DOJ OIG--FBI OPR COMPLAINT signed by THOMAS S. BEAN under penalty of prosecution. Alot of PULITIZER PRIZE STORIES come from that complaint, and my second complaint covering OUTRAGEOUS DUMBFUCKERY BY FBI--NSA--HLS--CHENEY covering the dates 11--2006 through January 2009.
More murders of my known associates for MUELLERS BOGUS GOP GESTAPO TO IGNORE?
NOTE: I will not cooperate, respect, or cooperate with ANY FAGGOT FBI COCKSUCKER while BOB MUELLER IS STILL ALLOWED TO CONTINUALLY BREAK THE LAW while fagging around with his usual cowardly politicized faggot punk con that amounts to CONSPIRACIES TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE BY REMAINING DELIBERATELY INDIFFERENT (for Mueller's benefit...it always comes down to MUELLER'S BENEFIT not justice).
MUELLER HAS TO GO.
IF HOLDER AND OBAMA want POWER TO BACK DOWN THE EXTORTIONISTS who "selected his cabinet for them"...they got to go through me.
I will not cooperate until MUELLER IS REPLACED and run the fuck out of the way.
Enough of this shit from CHENEY'S PAL BOB MUELLER, WHOSE ONLY JOB WAS AND IS TO COVER UP FBI--CIA--NSA--DOD--HLS CRIMES targeting witnesses, complainants, and innocent white collar professionals (my family, my friends, and any known associate).
Go ask KEITH OLBERMANN, what it's like to get a terrorist threat in the mail, while MUELLER does not investigate and refuses to check the CALEA INTERFACE to find the ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING ON KEITH OLBERMANN'S TELEPHONE...just like SEN GRASSLEY'S FINANCE AID getting assaulted with a baseball bat while FUCKHEAD PUNK COCKSUCKING LIAR BOB MUELLER, stands down on criminal leads that solves these PATRIOT ACT CRIMES against dissentors, witnesses, and THE US SENATE STAFF?????
And this fuckhead Mueller...still has a job?
___________________________________________
After that story was published, President Bush said in a statement that only people in the United States who were talking with terrorists overseas would have been targeted for surveillance.
But Tice says, in truth, the spying involved a dragnet of all communications, confirming what critics have long assumed.

Tice said the NSA analyzed metadata to determine which communication would be collected. Offering a hypothetical example, he said if the agency determined that terrorists communicate in brief, two-minute phone calls, the NSA might program its systems to record all such calls, invading the privacy of anyone prone to telephonic succinctness.
I’m not sure why this is much of a revelation. We’ve known for years now that what the NSA created was a database of call data, “metadata” as it’s called above, which included things like the originating number for a call. The destination number. Time. Date. Duration. This allowed the NSA to search that database for patterns that might indicate communication between terrorists and their organizations.

And, I’d point out that querying such data is a much different thing than listening in on phone calls. Data such as call length is what’s called “on the envelope” information. Obviously, when you mail something the data you put on the outside of the envelope (the destination address, your return address, the postmark, etc.) isn’t private. It’s the data you put in the envelope that’s private, and the same principle applies to phone calls.
It has always been my impression that our national security agencies obtained a warrant before targeting any specific phone user with actual wiretapping.

Experts: Obama Order Could Let Us See US Attorneys Docs
By Zachary Roth -
January 22, 2009, 12:04PM
The experts' verdicts on the potential impact of President Obama's executive order on presidential records are starting to come in. And they're bolstering our initial take that Obama's move could significantly boost efforts to release crucial records that the Bush administration has fought to keep secret.
Doug Kmiec, a constitutional law professor at Pepperdine law school and expert on executive privilege, told TPMmuckraker that the order makes it harder for former presidents to block the release of their documents.
And, crucially, he said it could impact current high-profile struggles over Bush's records, "whether it be the dismissal of US Attorneys, whether it be other assertions of executive privilege dealing with White House emails and the like."
Congress and the Bush White House have been struggling over a key memo that details the level of White House involvement in the US Attorney firings of 2006. And open-government groups have sued the Bush administration to gain access to White House emails on a range of subjects, including the Valerie Plame leak probe and the decision to invade Iraq.

Clinton Lawyer: Obama's Order Designed To Pry Loose Key Bush Docs
By Zachary Roth -
January 23, 2009, 11:25AM
Already, a consensus of experts has formed to tell TPMmuckraker and others that President Obama's executive order on presidential records, issued Wednesday, could impact efforts to pry loose key documents from the Bush White House.
And the man who served as President Clinton's lead attorney for executive privilege issues yesterday went further, suggesting that that was exactly Obama's goal.
Neil Eggleston, a White House counsel under Clinton, told TPMmuckraker that in his view, the Obama White House issued the order with specific ongoing cases in mind -- that is, with the goal of bolstering those efforts to obtain Bush's records.
Congress and good-government groups are currently fighting to get access to key Bush White House documents that might shed light on a range of subjects, from the level of White House involvement in the US Attorney firings, to the Valerie Plame leak probe, to the decision to invade Iraq. "This is absolutely about all those issues," said Eggleston.
At its heart, said Eggleston, Obama's order is about "who gets to assert executive privilege." It says that former presidents can claim such privilege, but they have no automatic ability to prevent the release of their records if the current administration deems it to be in the national interest. That echoes the view of other experts who have examined the order, including the conservative legal scholar Doug Kmiec, who spoke to TPMmuckraker yesterday.

PELOSI WHORE at it again: MOTION TO RE COMMIT changed by APPEASING LYING FUCKING WHORE
REAL NEWS - PELOSI'S POWER GRAB
from
(Common sense, politically incorrect newsletter to 12,151 subscribers)
GOVERNMENT OF PELOSI, BY PELOSI, AND FOR PELOSI
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi changed her tune on a great many things.
Even the liberal Washington Post could not help but comment on
Pelosi's blatant hypocrisy and her apparent rush to change the rules whenit comes to transparency and openness:
It's not about a choice between a Congress that is orderly versus a Congress that bickers.
It's a choice between a Congress that is accountable to the people or a Congress that simply tries to legislate through stealth.
It's a choice between freedom and tyranny.
Pelosi has also effectively moved to keep the American public in the dark!
On the very first day of Congress, Pelosi pushed through a change to a House rule known as the "motion to recommit," a rule that was implemented a CENTURY AGO specifically to PROHIBIT the leadership of the majority party from railroading horrendous legislation through Congress under the cover of darkness.
John Fund of The Wall Street Journal aptly described the "motion to recommit" as "a procedural safeguard first given to the minority a century ago after a rebellion against tyrannical GOP Speaker Joe Cannon."
So what is the "motion to recommit" and what are the ramifications ofdoing away with the it?
A real-life example, or rather, 50 real life examples, should
suffice.
As Fund put it: "Republicans used the tactic 50 times in the last
Congress, primarily to block tax increases buried in larger bills."
In other words, on 50 occasions during the last session of Congress,Pelosi and Company tried to sneak tax increases, anti-Second Amendment measures and amnesty for illegal aliens, among other things into unrelated bills.
On those 50 occasions, conservatives exercised their right to send the bills back to committee to FORCE liberal committee members to actually go on record.
Essentially, conservatives said, if you want to pass it, vote on it,go on the record, let the American people see what you're trying to do and let the American people know where you stand, but don't try to sneak measures the American people DO NOT WANT through Congress under the cover of darkness!
Of course, in many cases, Pelosi and Company simply let the bills die rather than forcing fellow liberals to actually go on record.
Pelosi wasn't very happy about being forced into those situations, so she quietly changed the rule. As for the rights of the American people: who cares -- after all, Nancy knows best.
But now that conservatives in Congress are daring to bring Pelosi's tyranny into the light, Pelosi and her fellow-travelers are screaming bloody murder.
SECRECY IS THE LIBERALS FAVORITE WEAPON
Seriously, Pelosi and her left-wing cohorts in Congress firmly
believe that what YOU don't know won't hurt THEM.
They believe that as long as you don't know what they're up to, they can get away with whatever they want to impose on the American people.
Pelosi is depending on the cover of darkness and the silence of her allies in the media to keep her shenanigans under wraps.
The last thing Pelosi wants is for the American people to find out what she wants to do:
Secretly raise your taxes.
Secretly impose amnesty for illegal aliens on your community and
your neighborhood.
Secretly take away your ability to protect your family by
regulating away your right to own and keep a firearm.
IS THE MEDIA HELPING PELOSI KEEP THE SECRET?
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Liberals in the mainstream media are taking that old philosophical adage to heart.
Just because you haven't read about what is happening in your local newspaper or haven't heard about it on the nightly news, do not think that conservatives in Congress don't understand the horrible implications of what would happen if Pelosi is allowed to quietly get away with taking away the rights of the American people.
They're hopping mad, they're making their feelings known, but the liberal media simply is NOT reporting it.
You'd better believe that if conservatives moved to SHUT DOWN the voice of the minority, it would be on the front page of The New York Times.
Conservatives are talking and just in case you missed it, here is
some of what is being said:
House Republicans sent a letter to Pelosi which addressed the
hypocrisy and dishonesty of her position. The letter read in part: "This is not the kind of openness and transparency that President-elect Obama promised."
Representative David Dreier of California said the rule change would create "the most closed Congress in history."
House Minority Leader John Boehner complained that Pelosi's little subterfuge "silences the voices of tens of millions of Americans by further shutting down open debate on the House floor and taking away the minority's right to offer substantive policy alternatives on behalf of the millions of Americans they represent."
Conservative legislators are trying to get the message out -- but
they need your help to drive the message home.
Pelosi and liberals in Congress must be made to understand that the American people ARE getting the message and that the liberal media can't give them cover this time around.
And they need to know that you ARE NOT happy!
Will you stand up for your freedoms?

GOVERNMENT OF PELOSI, BY PELOSI, AND FOR PELOSI
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi changed her tune on a great many things.
Even the liberal Washington Post could not help but comment on
Pelosi's blatant hypocrisy and her apparent rush to change the rules whenit comes to transparency and openness:
It's not about a choice between a Congress that is orderly versus a Congress that bickers.
It's a choice between a Congress that is accountable to the people or a Congress that simply tries to legislate through stealth.
It's a choice between freedom and tyranny.
Pelosi has also effectively moved to keep the American public in the dark!
On the very first day of Congress, Pelosi pushed through a change to a House rule known as the "motion to recommit," a rule that was implemented a CENTURY AGO specifically to PROHIBIT the leadership of the majority party from railroading horrendous legislation through Congress under the cover of darkness.
John Fund of The Wall Street Journal aptly described the "motion to recommit" as "a procedural safeguard first given to the minority a century ago after a rebellion against tyrannical GOP Speaker Joe Cannon."
So what is the "motion to recommit" and what are the ramifications ofdoing away with the it?
A real-life example, or rather, 50 real life examples, should
suffice.
As Fund put it: "Republicans used the tactic 50 times in the last
Congress, primarily to block tax increases buried in larger bills."
In other words, on 50 occasions during the last session of Congress,Pelosi and Company tried to sneak tax increases, anti-Second Amendment measures and amnesty for illegal aliens, among other things into unrelated bills.
On those 50 occasions, conservatives exercised their right to send the bills back to committee to FORCE liberal committee members to actually go on record.
Essentially, conservatives said, if you want to pass it, vote on it,go on the record, let the American people see what you're trying to do and let the American people know where you stand, but don't try to sneak measures the American people DO NOT WANT through Congress under the cover of darkness!
Of course, in many cases, Pelosi and Company simply let the bills die rather than forcing fellow liberals to actually go on record.
Pelosi wasn't very happy about being forced into those situations, so she quietly changed the rule. As for the rights of the American people: who cares -- after all, Nancy knows best.
But now that conservatives in Congress are daring to bring Pelosi's tyranny into the light, Pelosi and her fellow-travelers are screaming bloody murder.
SECRECY IS THE LIBERALS FAVORITE WEAPON
Seriously, Pelosi and her left-wing cohorts in Congress firmly
believe that what YOU don't know won't hurt THEM.
They believe that as long as you don't know what they're up to, they can get away with whatever they want to impose on the American people.
Pelosi is depending on the cover of darkness and the silence of her allies in the media to keep her shenanigans under wraps.
The last thing Pelosi wants is for the American people to find out what she wants to do:
Secretly raise your taxes.
Secretly impose amnesty for illegal aliens on your community and
your neighborhood.
Secretly take away your ability to protect your family by
regulating away your right to own and keep a firearm.
IS THE MEDIA HELPING PELOSI KEEP THE SECRET?
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Liberals in the mainstream media are taking that old philosophical adage to heart.
Just because you haven't read about what is happening in your local newspaper or haven't heard about it on the nightly news, do not think that conservatives in Congress don't understand the horrible implications of what would happen if Pelosi is allowed to quietly get away with taking away the rights of the American people.
They're hopping mad, they're making their feelings known, but the liberal media simply is NOT reporting it.
You'd better believe that if conservatives moved to SHUT DOWN the voice of the minority, it would be on the front page of The New York Times.
Conservatives are talking and just in case you missed it, here is
some of what is being said:
House Republicans sent a letter to Pelosi which addressed the
hypocrisy and dishonesty of her position. The letter read in part: "This is not the kind of openness and transparency that President-elect Obama promised."
Representative David Dreier of California said the rule change would create "the most closed Congress in history."
House Minority Leader John Boehner complained that Pelosi's little subterfuge "silences the voices of tens of millions of Americans by further shutting down open debate on the House floor and taking away the minority's right to offer substantive policy alternatives on behalf of the millions of Americans they represent."
Conservative legislators are trying to get the message out -- but
they need your help to drive the message home.
Pelosi and liberals in Congress must be made to understand that the American people ARE getting the message and that the liberal media can't give them cover this time around.
And they need to know that you ARE NOT happy!

Obama Re-Sworn To Office After Foiling Coup Attempt
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)
A most disturbing report is circulating in the Kremlin today stating that the newly installed US President Barack Obama has survived, during his first day in office, a coup attempt designed to plunge the United States into ‘immediate’ war and threaten our World’s existence.
According to these reports, the Bush appointed Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts, ‘deliberately’ failed to properly administer the Oath of Office to President Obama during yesterdays swearing in ceremony, and which then resulted in... Bush appointed American Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates ... ...in hiding and designated as the Leader of the US should a catastrophe occur...
News reports from the United States are only now reporting that President Obama has retaken his Oath of Office to ‘officially’ become the leader of his Nation, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service:
“After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over.
The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday's much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.
Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called "an abundance of caution."
This time, the scene was the White House Map Room in front of a small group of reporters, not the Capitol platform before the whole watching world.
"We decided that because it was so much fun ...," Obama joked to reporters who followed press secretary Robert Gibbs into the room. No TV camera crews or news photographers were allowed in.”
Not to an ‘abundance of caution’, these reports continue, was Obama re-administered the Oath of Office, but rather because during the past nearly 36 hours the United States has been governed by Secretary of Defense Gates who during his brief time as leader of the US is said to have ‘purged’ from the American Military Forces all officers previously loyal to both former Presidents Bush and Clinton.

If MUELLER FLIPS (wi immunity for him and FBI agents) then...ALL THE POWER FOCUSES ON THE NEW SCAPEGOAT WHO HAS IT COMING TO THEM--the CHENEY DUMBFUCKS who had the power and called the shots.
Wouldn't that be appropriate and good for BUSH CRIME FAMILY?
___________________
To the ruthlessness that Secretary Gates has moved to protect his Nation, and now its new President, against his Nations own, but still Bush-Clinton controlled Intelligence Agencies, we have reported many times previously, including the ‘death by suicide’ of US Air Force Brigadier General Thomas L. Tinsley who Russian Intelligence sources report had tried to secretly transfer to Israel some of Americas most highly guarded nuclear missiles for the Israelis to use to attack Iran and Syria, an attack which would have plunged our World into Total Global War.
Of General Tinsley’s ‘suicide’ we can read as reported by the Air Force Times News Service:
“Tinsley’s death is assumed to be a suicide, said Col. Richard Walberg, who assumed command at Elmendorf after Tinsley’s death, at a press conference Monday.
Tinsley, commander of the 3rd Wing, suffered a gunshot wound to his chest late Sunday night and was pronounced dead within a half-hour.
“To the best information, it’s possible it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Walberg said.
Medical responders rushed to Tinsley’s home on base but were unsuccessful in trying to save him. Tinsley’s wife and college-age daughter were home at the time of the shooting.
Tinsley was named base commander in May 2007. He had served as an F-15 instructor pilot, F-15C test pilot, wing weapons officer, exchange officer and instructor with the Royal Australian Air Force. His previous 22-month assignment was as executive officer to the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. T. Michael Moseley, who resigned under pressure in June.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates ousted both Moseley and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, holding them accountable for failing to fully correct an erosion of nuclear-related performance standards.”
To the nuclear weapons reported to have been planned by Bush and Clinton forces to be secreted to Israel for their attacks against Iran and Syria we can read as reported by the Global Research Network in their report titled “Missing Nukes: Treason of the Highest Order”, and which says:
“According to a wide range of reports, several nuclear bombs were “lost” for 36 hours after taking off August 29/30, 2007 on a “cross-country journey” across the U.S., from U.S.A.F Base Minot in North Dakota to U.S.A.F. Base Barksdale in Louisiana. Reportedly, in total there were six W80-1 nuclear warheads armed on AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missiles (ACMs) that were “lost.” The story was first reported by the Military Times, after military servicemen leaked the story.”
It is further interesting to note about these reports the continuation of the vicious war between the US Military Forces loyal to Obama and those still loyal to the Bush-Clinton Factions as we had previously reported on in our November 6, 2008 report titled “Obama Forces Launch ‘Furious’ Assault Against Bush-Clinton-CIA Nazi Coup Plotters”, wherein we had stated that Obama was ‘rushed’ to meet Iranian President Ahmadinejad in an attempt to stop Israel’s launching of Total Global War, and which new reports from Iran are now stating that Ahmadinejad has, once again, gone ‘incommunicado’ due to ‘health reasons’.
It is also important to note that the ‘first causality’ of this coup attempt was the esteemed scion of the Vatican backed Kennedy family, and daughter of the murdered American President John F. Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, and who ‘suddenly’ withdrew her bid to replace Hillary Clinton as United States Senator, and which we previously reported on in our report titled “Death Threat Forces Last Scion Caroline Kennedy From Power”.
Most amazing of all of these reports however, it is not the shocking content that they contain about the titanic power struggle currently ongoing in the United States between those factions controlled by the European Banking Powers of the Rothschild’s and those of the Vatican (which in truth vary little from our reports at the outset of World War II when their ongoing, and centuries old struggle for total Global control led to the deaths of over 100 million), but, it is that even now, as our World faces the consequences of this war once again, the American people themselves have actually become more stupid than they were in the 1920’s and 1930’s when they, as they are now, are sitting silently by while the World is being plunged into economic collapse and Total War.
And in what is, perhaps, a most chilling irony facing these poor deluded American people is it is a report from the US News and World Report blogger Robert Schlesinger whose words need nothing other than their stating:
“The Washington Post reports today that the Department of Homeland Security will be permanently housed on a hilltop in southeastern D.C. The site, blog friend Peter Roff points out, is on the grounds of St. Elizabeth's Hospital ... where the first federal psychiatric hospital was established in 1852.
Are they trying to tell us something?”
The answer to this question would be and unequivocal ‘yes’ as Obama had already planned with the US Military his ‘course of action’ against his enemies, and as we can read as reported by the United States Air Force News Service in their report titled “Air Force activates provisional Global Strike Command”, and which says:
“Air Force officials officially stood up a provisional Global Strike Command Jan. 12 at Bolling Air Force Base, D.C. The provisional command will be temporarily located at the Washington, D.C., base with supporting detachments at Air Combat Command and Air Force Space Command. Its charter is to lead preparation activities for the establishment of a major command that will consolidate nuclear operations under a single organization.”
May God have mercy on these poor Americans as they have no idea whatsoever what is about to happen to them.

Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that President Obama’s attempt to complete the building of his power base to topple the US Federal Reserve Banking responsible for collapsing the economy of the United States, and dragging the rest of the World with it, was dealt a ‘serious setback’ with the last Kennedy scion, and daughter of the last American President to attempt to destroy the Federal Reserve, Caroline Kennedy removing herself from replacing the vacant Senate seat of the departing Hillary Clinton, and as we can read as reported by the New York Post News Service:
“Caroline Kennedy has told Gov. David Paterson that she is withdrawing her name from consideration to replace outgoing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton in the U.S. Senate, The Post has learned.
Kennedy cited "personal reasons," according to sources.
Her stunning move comes as sources revealed that Paterson had intended to appoint her to the now-vacant seat today.”
These reports, however, state the ‘personal reasons’ behind Caroline Kennedy’s abrupt withdrawal was her having received a ‘direct threat’ by ‘email correspondence’ from ‘known sources’ within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) stating that should she continue her quest to become a US Senator she would become ‘a statistic like her brother’, a direct reference to the assassination of her only sibling, John F. Kennedy Jr., who was, likewise, murdered when threatening to take the US Senate seat he had been told ‘belonged’ to Hillary Clinton, the wife of the then departing President.
Further reports state that President Obama, after being re-sworn into office, offered his ‘full protection’ to Caroline Kennedy and her remaining family to which close personal friends are reporting may sway her back to accepting the nomination.

_________________________________________________
Though not known by virtually any of the average Americans currently suffering under the unrelenting assault upon their economy by the US Federal Reserve Private Banking System, the purpose of this carnage they are causing has not been lost upon many of their top economists, and as we can read as reported by the Wall Street Journal News Service:
“Interest rates on bank deposits are near zero and the Federal Reserve guided them there for a reason: they want to remove incentive to save and jumpstart the spending cycle. While saving is an intuitive individual solution, it's the death knell of an economic ecosystem measured by the sum of its parts and reliant on the velocity of money.
What we're witnessing isn't a garden-variety, one-and-done recession; it's the cumulative comeuppance of a massive credit bubble rooted in faulty monetary policy aimed at avoiding small, corrective recessions.”
Equally unknown to the American people is that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated due to his signing of Executive Order 11110 on June 4, 1963, which was aimed at destroying the US Federal Reserve System and returning the power to make money to the United States Government from which it was stolen in 1913 after most of the top American industrialists opposing a central banking system were murdered with the deliberate sinking of the Titanic after their refusal to finance Britain’s planned war against Germany in World War I.
To the greatest historical context surrounding this titanic battle currently unfolding in the United States, we previously touched upon in our January 16th, report ‘Assassination By Plane Crash’ Of Top American Bankers Fails In US”, and wherein we explained that this current battle is a part of the war began in the 19th century when the European Rothschild Banking Empire, backing the Northern United States, engaged in open warfare with the Southern United States backed by the Vatican.
The founding fathers of the United States had long warned their citizens against the European Rothschild Banking Empire, of which we can read:
“The Founding Fathers were strongly opposed to the formation of a central banking system - the fact that England tried to place the colonies under the monetary control of the Bank of England is seen by many as the 'last straw' of English oppression and that it led directly to the War of Independence.
In 1791, Alexander Hamilton, the Secretary of the Treasury, made a deal to support the transfer of the capital from Philadelphia to the banks of the Potomac in exchange for southern support for his Bank project. As a result, the First Bank of the United States (1791-1811) was chartered by Congress in that same year. The First Bank of the United States was modeled after the Bank of England and differed in many ways from today's central banks. For example, it was partly owned by foreigners, who would share from its profits. It was also not solely responsible for the country's money supply; its share was only 20%, while private banks accounted for the rest. The Bank was bitterly opposed by several founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who saw it as an engine for speculation, financial manipulation, and corruption.”
Unfortunately, however, the masses of the American people over this past century have ignored the warnings of their Founding Fathers and have watched in horror as their Nation, since the Federal Reserves taking power in 1913, has involved them in two World Wars, the Great Depression, numerous other wars, including the Middle Eastern wars they are involved in now, a the present collapse of our World’s entire banking system.
On the ‘positive’ side though, that is depending upon which side one is on, President Obama’s ascent to the Presidency of the United States is showing that for the first time since President Kennedy’s assassination, the Vatican power structure is, once again, on the ascendancy since their defeat in 1865 during the American Civil War, but which, these reports state, almost assuredly means that another brutal American Civil War will soon have to be fought.
But, with Caroline Kennedy’s withdrawal from joining President Obama’s Forces, the new American leader is left only with his Vice President, Joseph Biden, who is the Vatican’s top political figure in the Untied States groomed for power since childhood and having withstood the murder of his wife and child upon his first election to the US Senate.
It goes without our saying that in this brief report, even when coupled with our multiyear effort through these reports to educate the American people to these true things, it is incumbent upon these people to begin a more thorough examination of these things for themselves, and which they should so choose to do will show them, unequivocally, that our words are true and what they have been taught is totally false.
Most astounding of all is that should these American people learn the truth of this massive war currently unfolding around them, and destroying many of their lives, the would realize that in order to help the forces of their new President, and help save their Nation, their support of the President Obama’s sworn enemy, the US Federal Reserve System, should cease at once, and totally.
And, the quickest way to defeat the European backed Rothschild banking empire, known as the US Federal Reserve System is to, simply, stop paying them through their criminal mortgage payments and credit card bills and, instead, start investing all of their money into US Savings Bonds, and which puts their money directly into the hands of their own President and Government instead of those European banking powers seeking to destroy them.
Should the American people decide in mass upon such an action, and as these reports state, their recovery would be ‘so swift as to amaze them all’. But, so deluded have these people become to believing that the US Federal Reserve Systems method of defining them called Credit Scores, that they have failed to realize that these Credit Scores have actually nothing to do with them at all, but are, instead, a reflection of their worth to the very banks that are destroying them.
One can only wonder when these poor deluded people will ever awaken to the scam being perpetrated upon them.
But, one can also hope that they will awaken, and as one, rebuke as a united people the insidious powers seeking to destroy them….just like their ancestors did in founding their once Great Nation.

CORNYN tries to politicize US AG, long after the GOP MURDERS of 3 South Dakotans?
GOPers, Worried About Torture Prosecutions, Delay Holder Vote
By Zachary Roth - January 21, 2009, 4:20PM
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary committee are delaying for up to a week a vote on Eric Holder's nomination to be Attorney General, with some saying they want more time to consider his record on torture.
John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, told Politico:
Part of my concern relates to his statements at the hearing with regard to torture and what his intentions are toward our intelligence personnel who were operating in good faith based on their understanding of what the law was.
_________________________
tommy:
AIN'T NO FUCKING WAY CORNYN is gonna argue that TORTURING LEROY ROGERS is covered up as A GOOD FAITH DOCTRINE exception to the rule of law. MURDER IS MURDER.
POLITICALLY MOTIVATED MURDER is an act of TERRORISM PROHIBITED BY THE PATRIOT ACT THAT CORNYN VOTED FOR.
CORNY CORNYN like all GOP police state corrupt fucksticks...is saying..." GOP MILITARY MURDERS OF POLITICAL ENEMIES" is covered by a mish mashed assertion that GOOD FAITH, and JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS somehow guts out the rule of law as it applies to CHENEY--DUMSFIELD--HAYDEN--CHERTOFF.
Let's allow the facts and law to decide "WHAT IS GOOD FAITH" AND WHAT IS A PATRIOT ACT MURDER.
I WANT THIS GUTLESS FAT FACED PUNK CORNYN to "get chipped, mind controlled, fried with microwave radiation in his fucking home" and endure slander, stalking, assaults, provocations, jobsite neutralizations....etc....BEFORE THIS FAT FACED PUNK OPENS HIS CORRUPT COCKSUCKER MOUTH.
Let's stick to the facts...........and let the rule of law decide what the facts, laws, and duties of an objective US ATTORNEY is and was and ought to be.
CORNYN is trying to "once again follow the GOP playbook" by politicizing the office of the US ATTY GEN, before HOLDER has ever exercised his descretion while REVIEWING BEAN'S FACTS THAT INCLUDE:
--CHENEY--DUMSFIELD'S MOTIVES for MURDERING DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON...and MUELLER'S MOTIVE AND ACTS AND OMISSIONS, while "constantly ignoring his duty" while also OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE?
Does anybody want to talk to SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN about her Grand Jury, and "what the FBI did and did not do" about DASCHLE WIRETAPPING...AND 3 SOUTH DAKOTA PATRIOT ACT MURDERS that are not legal even under the bogus Enabling law that Cheney passed with Appeasors Pelosi and Reid creating a "way out of some future confrontation with justice"?
THERE'S plenty of dirt on Cornyn...plenty of Texas dirt all over this stooge.
__________________________________
Holder declared last week at the hearing that "water-boarding is torture."
It seems plausible that Cornyn's and other GOPers' concern might relate not just to intel personnel who carried out torture, but also to high-ranking Bush administration officials who ordered or approved it.
In a statement, committee chair Pat Leahy expressed his displeasure:
I am extremely disappointed, but they have that right, and this historic - historic - nomination is held over.
______________________
tommy:
THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE (ignroing Bean's complaints...including TORTURE COMPLAINT NOT YET SUBMITTED FOR HOLDER'S REVIEW) BY GOP--FBI--DOJ--SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN--US ATTY THOMAS HEFFLEFINGER.....has reduced the TORTURE DEBATE to "the battlefield smoke and mirrors" in which "nobody in America really cares about muslims getting tortured" in a foreign country.
WATERBOARDING as an issue...pales in comparison to MIND CONTROL CHIPPING OF US CITIZENS who are also fried with microwave radiation as a way of slowely murdering political enemies and complainants.
That is the issue and fact and laws.........to comment on....not waterboarding.
Waterboarding...is done with.
MIND CONTROL CHIPPING OF A DOJ OIG COMPLAINANT...is a PATRIOT ACT VIOLATION.
THE REAL TORTURE ISSUE IS ignored...along with my facts?
The issue is, "Whether or Not the WAR COMMISSIONS ACT IS A VALID LEGAL LAW THAT ENABLES CHENEY TO ORDER AND ENGAGE IN POLITICAL MOTIVATED TORTURE--MAIMING--MURDER OF WITNESSES, LAWYERS, COMPLAINANTS, INNOCENT MEDICAL DOCTORS...ETC.?"
Intent defined by facts manifested by THOMAS S. BEAN'S TESTIMONY either in a motion hearing, a Jud Comm Hearing...or an independent interview with HOLDER and his staff followed by a polygraph....IS THE ONLY DISPOSITIVE EVIDENCIARY ISSUE that anybody should be focusing on.
Cornyn knows this.
That's why the corrupt GOP punk...has conveniently ignored the specific facts known to SF FBI, MINNEAPOLIS FBI, MINNESOTA US ATTY THOMAS HEFFLEFINGER AND HIS FOUR ASSOCIEATE US ATTORNEYS....SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN...and others?
FOCUS should involve review of my complaint, and future complaints...that so far, have not been tendered due to "impossible Orwellian Stalking" by the radical right wing who to this day..........still maintain an illegal unconstitutional surveillance of a DOJ complainant?
I'll stick this fact pattern down Cornyn's fat fucking face, and crack his cowardly motherfucking head open...for even assuming that this fat head has any sort of credibility to neutralize a US ATTY GENERAL who has "not reviewed the facts" prior to performing a fiduciary duty owed to The United States citizenry.
POLITICAL MURDERS OF SOUTH DAKOTANS...are gonna bust Cornyn's fat fucking face open.
MY ADVICE TO OBAMA IS REVENGE ON THE GOP AND APPEASING JERKOFFS WHO sucked Cheney's dick.
My advice is to see if GOP SENATORS LIKE A TASTE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION AT THEIR HOMES, AFTER BEING MIND CONTROLLED...AND MONITORED WITH A PIN HOLE SPY CAMERA IN THEIR FUCKING HOME?
ALL THE TERRORISM LAWS have been used for Political retribution by CHENEY--DUMSFIELD.
NOW IT IS TIME...for the GOP Senator CORNYN to have his airplane mysteriously go down, with FBI ARRIVING AT THE SCENE TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT WAS ALL PILOT ERROR.
IT'S TIME FOR PAYBACK ON THE GOP who...hunted and extorted and stalked the Democrats into what they are--GROVELING APPEASORS OF FASCISM afraid to argue Bean's facts?

Cornyn Took Caribbean Junket On Stanford's Dime
By Zachary Roth -
February 17, 2009, 2:20PM
So we already knew that Allen Stanford -- the Texas banker charged by the SEC today with running an $8 billion "fraud of shocking magnitude" -- had some pretty impressive political contacts with both parties.
But it looks like his relationship with one of his home-state senators, Republican John Cornyn, may have been especially cozy.
According to Cornyn's Senate disclosure reports -- posted on the site Legistorm.com, which tracks privately financed trips by members of Congress -- the Stanford Financial Group paid for the Texas senator and an unnamed companion to take a November 2004 trip down to Antigua and Barbuda, the tiny Carribean nation where the company has its headquarters.
The three day trip is described by Legistorm as a "financial services industry fact-finding mission hosted by constituent company with substantial operations on site."
The site adds:
Sen. Cornyn discloses expenses for himself and a companion, but does not disclose the identity of the companion.
The total cost of the trip: $7,441.00
It would be hard to blame Cornyn if financial regulation wasn't the only thing on his mind while he was in Antigua. The trip occurred right after the November 2004 election, during which Cornyn was working hard for George W. Bush. And just last Sunday, the New York Times travel section described Antigua as a group of "famously paradisiacal islands that actually lives up to the hype."
The paper continued:
An array of über-luxurious resorts have cashed in on the lush surroundings, and provide their well-heeled guests with so many hedonistic diversions that many never emerge to see what lies beyond the resort gates.
Sounds like just the spot for some fact-finding!
We've told you all about Stanford's generous record of contributions to lawmakers from both sides of the aisle -- and especially to those with authority over the banking sector. The New York Times has gone further, reporting that Stanford's contributions appear to focus "particularly on legislators considering bills that would change offshore banking rules."
Cornyn this year became a member of the Senate Finance committee, though in 2004 he was not a member.
We've put in a call to Cornyn's office to ask what he learned on the "fact-finding mission" Stanford paid for -- and who his mystery companion was -- and will update with anything we learn.
Thanks to reader B.K. for the tip.
Late Update: It looks like Cornyn's spokesman was asked by the Center for Public Integrity back in 2006 about the identity of Cornyn's companion, and responded that it was Cornyn's wife.
Interestingly, CPI said the trip was "to tour the offices of trip sponsor Stanford Financial Group."
Thanks to commenter Snig for pointing that out.

CORNYN is trying to "once again follow the GOP playbook" by politicizing the office of the US ATTY GEN, before HOLDER has ever exercised his descretion while REVIEWING BEAN'S FACTS THAT INCLUDE:
--CHENEY--DUMSFIELD'S MOTIVES for MURDERING DASCHLE'S EX CHIEF OF STAFF, RICHARD GORDON...and MUELLER'S MOTIVE AND ACTS AND OMISSIONS, while "constantly ignoring his duty" while also OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE?
Does anybody want to talk to SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN about her Grand Jury, and "what the FBI did and did not do" about DASCHLE WIRETAPPING...AND 3 SOUTH DAKOTA PATRIOT ACT MURDERS that are not legal even under the bogus Enabling law that Cheney passed with Appeasors Pelosi and Reid creating a "way out of some future confrontation with justice"?
THERE'S plenty of dirt on Cornyn...plenty of Texas dirt all over this stooge.
__________________________________
Holder declared last week at the hearing that "water-boarding is torture."
It seems plausible that Cornyn's and other GOPers' concern might relate not just to intel personnel who carried out torture, but also to high-ranking Bush administration officials who ordered or approved it.
In a statement, committee chair Pat Leahy expressed his displeasure:
I am extremely disappointed, but they have that right, and this historic - historic - nomination is held over.
______________________
tommy:
THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE (ignroing Bean's complaints...including TORTURE COMPLAINT NOT YET SUBMITTED FOR HOLDER'S REVIEW) BY GOP--FBI--DOJ--SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN--US ATTY THOMAS HEFFLEFINGER.....has reduced the TORTURE DEBATE to "the battlefield smoke and mirrors" in which "nobody in America really cares about muslims getting tortured" in a foreign country.
WATERBOARDING as an issue...pales in comparison to MIND CONTROL CHIPPING OF US CITIZENS who are also fried with microwave radiation as a way of slowely murdering political enemies and complainants.
That is the issue and fact and laws.........to comment on....not waterboarding.
Waterboarding...is done with.
MIND CONTROL CHIPPING OF A DOJ OIG COMPLAINANT...is a PATRIOT ACT VIOLATION.
THE REAL TORTURE ISSUE IS ignored...along with my facts?
The issue is, "Whether or Not the WAR COMMISSIONS ACT IS A VALID LEGAL LAW THAT ENABLES CHENEY TO ORDER AND ENGAGE IN POLITICAL MOTIVATED TORTURE--MAIMING--MURDER OF WITNESSES, LAWYERS, COMPLAINANTS, INNOCENT MEDICAL DOCTORS...ETC.?"
Intent defined by facts manifested by THOMAS S. BEAN'S TESTIMONY either in a motion hearing, a Jud Comm Hearing...or an independent interview with HOLDER and his staff followed by a polygraph....IS THE ONLY DISPOSITIVE EVIDENCIARY ISSUE that anybody should be focusing on.
Cornyn knows this.
That's why the corrupt GOP punk...has conveniently ignored the specific facts known to SF FBI, MINNEAPOLIS FBI, MINNESOTA US ATTY THOMAS HEFFLEFINGER AND HIS FOUR ASSOCIEATE US ATTORNEYS....SD US ATTY MICHELLE TAPKEN...and others?
FOCUS should involve review of my complaint, and future complaints...that so far, have not been tendered due to "impossible Orwellian Stalking" by the radical right wing who to this day..........still maintain an illegal unconstitutional surveillance of a DOJ complainant?
I'll stick this fact pattern down Cornyn's fat fucking face, and crack his cowardly motherfucking head open...for even assuming that this fat head has any sort of credibility to neutralize a US ATTY GENERAL who has "not reviewed the facts" prior to performing a fiduciary duty owed to The United States citizenry.
POLITICAL MURDERS OF SOUTH DAKOTANS...are gonna bust Cornyn's fat fucking face open.
MY ADVICE TO OBAMA IS REVENGE ON THE GOP AND APPEASING JERKOFFS WHO sucked Cheney's dick.
My advice is to see if GOP SENATORS LIKE A TASTE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION AT THEIR HOMES, AFTER BEING MIND CONTROLLED...AND MONITORED WITH A PIN HOLE SPY CAMERA IN THEIR FUCKING HOME?
ALL THE TERRORISM LAWS have been used for Political retribution by CHENEY--DUMSFIELD.
NOW IT IS TIME...for the GOP Senator CORNYN to have his airplane mysteriously go down, with FBI ARRIVING AT THE SCENE TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT WAS ALL PILOT ERROR.
IT'S TIME FOR PAYBACK ON THE GOP who...hunted and extorted and stalked the Democrats into what they are--GROVELING APPEASORS OF FASCISM afraid to argue Bean's facts?

Cornyn Took Caribbean Junket On Stanford's Dime
By Zachary Roth -
February 17, 2009, 2:20PM
So we already knew that Allen Stanford -- the Texas banker charged by the SEC today with running an $8 billion "fraud of shocking magnitude" -- had some pretty impressive political contacts with both parties.
But it looks like his relationship with one of his home-state senators, Republican John Cornyn, may have been especially cozy.
According to Cornyn's Senate disclosure reports -- posted on the site Legistorm.com, which tracks privately financed trips by members of Congress -- the Stanford Financial Group paid for the Texas senator and an unnamed companion to take a November 2004 trip down to Antigua and Barbuda, the tiny Carribean nation where the company has its headquarters.
The three day trip is described by Legistorm as a "financial services industry fact-finding mission hosted by constituent company with substantial operations on site."
The site adds:
Sen. Cornyn discloses expenses for himself and a companion, but does not disclose the identity of the companion.
The total cost of the trip: $7,441.00
It would be hard to blame Cornyn if financial regulation wasn't the only thing on his mind while he was in Antigua. The trip occurred right after the November 2004 election, during which Cornyn was working hard for George W. Bush. And just last Sunday, the New York Times travel section described Antigua as a group of "famously paradisiacal islands that actually lives up to the hype."
The paper continued:
An array of über-luxurious resorts have cashed in on the lush surroundings, and provide their well-heeled guests with so many hedonistic diversions that many never emerge to see what lies beyond the resort gates.
Sounds like just the spot for some fact-finding!
We've told you all about Stanford's generous record of contributions to lawmakers from both sides of the aisle -- and especially to those with authority over the banking sector. The New York Times has gone further, reporting that Stanford's contributions appear to focus "particularly on legislators considering bills that would change offshore banking rules."
Cornyn this year became a member of the Senate Finance committee, though in 2004 he was not a member.
We've put in a call to Cornyn's office to ask what he learned on the "fact-finding mission" Stanford paid for -- and who his mystery companion was -- and will update with anything we learn.
Thanks to reader B.K. for the tip.
Late Update: It looks like Cornyn's spokesman was asked by the Center for Public Integrity back in 2006 about the identity of Cornyn's companion, and responded that it was Cornyn's wife.
Interestingly, CPI said the trip was "to tour the offices of trip sponsor Stanford Financial Group."
Thanks to commenter Snig for pointing that out.

U. S. Banking System Near Collapse
FBI Sting vs Former Bush White House Revealed
by Tom Heneghan
International Intelligence Expert
Tuesday January 20, 2009
United States of America – It can now be reported that the FBI has spent seven to nine months conducting a sting against the former Bushfraud Administration concerning massive financial fraud against the U. S. Treasury and the American People.
This sting was instigated by current FBI Director Robert Mueller when it became apparent to Mueller that George W. Bushfraud, along with U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Mossad agent and 9/11 co-conspirator, Michael Chertoff, was about to make Mueller the fall guy on a wide range of cases, including torture.
Note: At least two (2) White House moles are now cooperating with the FBI.
Massive financial misconduct has been uncovered by this sting, including criminal activity by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and current U. S. Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Stuart Levey, who is now the caretaker U. S. Treasury Secretary, pending the confirmation of U. S. Treasury Secretary designate Timothy Geithner.
Reference: The FBI is focusing on the former Bush Administration’s blackmail of Bank of America aka the ‘bailout’ of Merrill Lynch and cash bribes that were paid by American International Group (AIG) corporate executives to Bushfraud Administration officials concerning the ‘bailout’ of American International Group.
This all dovetails to the massive Bernard Madoff money laundry ponzi scheme that threatens to bankrupt the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Well placed sources suggest that the Northern Trust of Chicago, Illinois is on the verge of collapse.
We can now predict that within two weeks, or less, the new President Barack Obama, will have to declare a ‘Bank Holiday’ given the massive financial damage that has obliterated the U.S. economy.
P.S. As of this hour, the noted Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocol funds remain in limbo with the strong possibility that the Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate have already set up an offshore trading platform, which will be used to loot what is left in the U. S. Treasury.
Reference: This is all happening while the FBI is pursuing their investigation, which now includes former Clinton Administration Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, George Herbert Walker Bush aka daddy Bush and New York political hack and loser Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton stooge, Andrew Cuomo.
All three have been linked to trying to have Ambassador Leo Wanta falsely arrested at Citibank in New York while Wanta was only trying to finalize the Protocols for the U. S. Treasury and pay the taxes due on the CIA proprietary account.
P.P.S. At this hour we can divulge that Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, is blackmailing U. S. Secretary of State designate, loser Hillary Rodenhurst Clinton, on behalf of George W. Bush and the implementation of the Wanta-Reagan-Mitterrand Protocols.
Cornyn, the Republican Senator from Texas, today opened the files of the Clinton Impeachment, which include sealed indictments against loser Hillary aka ILLEGAL withdrawal of U. S. Treasury funds from a CIA proprietary account in Grenada.
The U. S. Treasury funds were actually laundered through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York into private Swiss accounts controlled by none other than Bush-Clinton Crime Family Syndicate fixer, fugitive Marc Rich and his attorney, former Bush Administration official, convicted felon Scooter Libby.
Note: Bush’s lack of a pardon for Scooter Libby indicates that this whole matter just described is now under FBI investigation.
Reference: These indictments against Hillary remained sealed after a ‘national security’ decree was issued by former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr given Hillary’s secret role as a national security operative.
These sealed indictments were used by Starr in the year 2000 Bushfraud presidential campaign blackmail of both Clintons in regards to their assisting Bush against then Vice President, duly elected President Albert Gore Jr.
Note: Both Clintons actually assisted in the anti-Gore Elian Gonzalez psyop and had Attorney General Janet Reno look the other way on massive election fraud in Florida, Tennessee, Missouri and West Virginia.
Item: Clinton’s Attorney General Reno ignored the Choicepoint software purging of over 30,000 African-Americans, who were legally eligible to vote from the Florida voter rolls two weeks before the presidential election in November of 2000.
Reno also ignored the fraudulent absentee ballots cast for Bush in Tennessee aka forgeries and the illegal electronic transfer by NASA of 65,000 Gore votes from the Vice President’s home state at 8:00 p.m. CST election night in the year 2000.
Reference: It should come as no surprise today that, at the Barack Obama inauguration, former President Jimmy Carter ignored and failed to even recognize the presence of daddy Bush's little bitch, Bill Clinton. Carter knows, as do millions of Democrats, that it was both Bill and his lesbian in-the-closet wife, loser Hillary, that helped enable Bushfraud to ILLEGALLY seize the White House from then Vice President, now year 2000 duly elected President Albert Gore Jr.
The Clintons, accordingly, enabled George W. Bushfraud to wreck the United States of America and millions of Democrats and American citizens will never forget it.
P.P.P.S. Keep an eye on FOX News, folks, because soon Rupert Murdoch Greenberg may have a Bernard Madoff problem.
U. S. Treasury Secretary designate, Timothy Geithner, has fingered the Mellon Bank of New York and Rupert Murdoch Greenberg in massive financial fraud involving secret accounts tied to Murdoch, Bernard Madoff and known Mellon Bank dick Richard Mellon Scaife.
Reference: As reported earlier, Geithner is now cooperating with New York Federal prosecutors in the Bernard Madoff probe, which could engulf major New York state political office holders, including loser Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo.
Accordingly, it is no surprise, that FOX News, utilizing their Number 1 political hack and misfit, Sean Hannity, continues to wage their KHAZARIAN Jew, anti-Catholic smears versus Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the assassinated President of the United States John F. Kennedy.
How dare you, you conspiratorial tyrants
and kings and notable queens!
Final note: I wish to quickly respond to a Craig Oxley who lives in England and is currently smearing me on various blogs and websites around the internet. Oxley is a stooge of FBI Division 5 and takes his orders from KHAZARIAN Jew, British Intelligence asset Tina Brown.
Tina Brown appears regularly on MSNBC as a mouthpiece for both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Tina, being British, likes the idea of royal families.
Tina Brown, along with TIME magazine’s Joe Klein, have for years covered up the extent and criminal activity of the Bush-Clinton-Mossad-Gary Best “TRUE COLORS” assassination teams, which includes the assassination of Caroline Kennedy’s brother and son of the late President, John F. Kennedy Jr.
John F. Kennedy Jr. was ready to challenge Hillary in the year 2000 New York Democratic senatorial primary and was about to publish the secrets of the Bush-Clinton “TRUE COLORS” assassination teams in his George magazine.
So you see, folks, why the KHAZARIAN Jew-British Intelligence media filth are afraid of Caroline Kennedy since she is not a crook and would immediately bust the Bernard Madoff-Mossad money laundry ponzi scheme......
