[B][FONT=&]Insidertrading and other secret transactions on September 11, 2001[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]This paper is a summary ofinsider trading on 9/11 that I think is connected with a [/FONT][FONT=&]secret stash of money for the useof what I call the shadow CIA. It is also connected to a similar secret CIAstash of money captured by the CIA at the end of WWII. This loot was from the Golden Eagle Fund(Nazi gold) and the[/FONT][FONT=&] Golden Lily treasure or the[/FONT][FONT=&]Yamashita's[/FONT][FONT=&]gold captured fromthe Japanese Army. Both of which werenever turned over to the US treasury or return to the nations from which it waslooted. The money from this gold wasused by the shadow CIA and kept secret from the Congress or possibly somePresidents. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Youshould first watch the U-Tube URL/line.

[B][FONT=&]Asa result of 9/11,[/FONT][FONT=&] United Airlines stock fell 42 percentfrom $30.82 to $17.50 per share, and American Airlines stock fell 39 percent,from $29.70 to $18.00 per share.[/FONT][FONT=&] A[/FONT][FONT=&]$2.77 million [/FONT][FONT=&]profit was made trading Octoberseries put-options in United Airlines, but one has claimed this money. Aput-option is a bet that the stock will decrease in price. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]There are still 2,313 put-options outstanding according to theOptions Clearinghouse Corp. [/FONT][FONT=&]Aftersearching the internet I found no news about these put-options being returnedfor their profit.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Theprofits using put-options would be "one of the most extraordinarycoincidence in the history of mankind." [/FONT][FONT=&]The levels of putoptions purchased above prior to 9/11 were more than six times higher thannormal. No similar trading in otherairlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Sept.11[SUP]th[/SUP]. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]$180,000 in put-options in UnitedAirlines turns into $2.4 million. United Airlines put-options experienced eighttimes the normal level of trading in put options on the Chicago Exchange.[/FONT][/B]

Unusualtrading in the U.S. stock options market,[/FONT][FONT=&]involvingat least 450,000 shares of American Airlines, of which more than 80 percentwere put-options. "Sources say they have never seen that kind of imbalancebefore," the report continued, estimating a $5 million profit for those whomade the trades.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]There was also an inexplicablerise in oil prices that oil contracts were bought and then re-sold for a muchhigher price, as well as suspicious movements in gold markets.[/FONT][/B]

[B][FONT=&]A footnote in the 9/11Commission's final report about allegations of insider trading prior to theattacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon reads: [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]"A single U.S.-basedinstitutional investor with no conceivable ties to al Qaeda purchased 95percent of the UAL (United Airlines) puts on September 6[SUP]th[/SUP] as part of a trading strategy that alsoincluded buying 115,000 shares of American (airlines) on September 10. ..Theseinvestigators (SEC and the FBI) have found that the apparently suspiciousconsistently [B]proved innocuous" (akajust damn good luck). But not accordingto stack brokers who said it was [/FONT][FONT=&]"one of the most extraordinarycoincidence in the history of mankind." And "it was absolutely unprecedented to see what looks likeinsider trading by investor all over the world." [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]On Sept. 6-7, when there was no significant news or stock pricemovement involving United Airlines. TheBloomberg News reported that put options on the airlines surged to thephenomenal high of 285 times their average.
[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]On September 10, 4,516put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, comparedto only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify thisimbalance;… Assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent "insiders,"they would represent a gain of about $4 million. [/FONT][/B]
[B][B][FONT=&]Morgan Stanley DeanWitter & Co.,[/FONT][FONT=&]which occupied the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its put options bought inthe three trading days before Sept. 11[SUP]th[/SUP]. This compares to an average of 27 contractsper day before September 6. Morgan Stanley's share price fell from $48.90 to$42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][B][FONT=&]Merrill Lynch &Co.,[/FONT][FONT=&] which also occupiedthe World Trade Center, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the fourtrading days before Sept. 11[SUP]th[/SUP]. The previous average volume in those shares had been 252 contracts perday [a 1200% increase!]. When trading resumed, Merrill's shares fell from$46.88 to $41.50.[/FONT][/B][/B]

[B][FONT=&]Suspicions about the pre-9/11trades led to investigations being launched in countries on three continents,including in the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Luxembourg, Hong Kong,Switzerland, and Spain.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Put-options on Bankof America would profit if its stock fell below $60 a share.

[B][B][FONT=&]Reinsurance Companies[/FONT][FONT=&]
The reinsurance companies Munich Re of Germany and Swiss Re of Switzerland --the world's two biggest reinsurers, and the AXA Group of France, all suffered losses on September 11, 2001. The San Francisco Chronicle estimatedliabilities of $1.5 billion for Munich Re and $550 million for the AXA Group. Trading in shares of Munich Re was almostdouble its normal level on September 6, and 7, and trading in shares of SwissRe was more than double its normal level on September 7. [/FONT][FONT=&]AXA also owns more than 25 percent of American Airlines stockmaking the attacks a "double whammy" for them. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]I want to emphasize that the CIA considers France guilty ofdoing industrial espionage against US companies, and only Russia and China/PRCare more active in attempting to steal US technology. [/FONT][/B]

[B][B][FONT=&]TheFederal Reserve Suspends the Rules [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]On the first day after the Sept. 11,2001 alleged terrorist attack, the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC)lifted "Rule 15c3-3 - Customer Protection, Reserves and Custody of Securities,"which set trading rules. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]As a result the Federal Reserve andthe [/FONT][FONT=&]Government Securities ClearingCorporation (G[/FONT][FONT=&]SCC) had created a settlementenvironment [B]totally void of controls andreporting where it could substitute valid, new government securities forthe mature, illegal securities, and not have to record where the bad securitiescame from, or where the new securities went all because the paper for theprimary brokers for US securities had been eliminated. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]The[/FONT][FONT=&]GovernmentSecurities Clearing Corporation (G[/FONT][FONT=&]SCC)part of the Division of Market Regulation of the SEC. [/FONT][FONT=&][B]GSCC[/FONT][FONT=&] isregistered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a securities clearingagency for U.S. government securities. The GSCCprovides automated trade comparison, netting, and settlement services for US. GSCC employs a number of risk managementprocedures that enable it to guarantee settlement of all net settlementpositions. Through its daily mark to the market process, GSCC brings net positions that are not due forsettlement from contract value to current market value each day. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Each morning, [B]GSCC collects mark payments from Netting Membersthat are in a debit mark position and pays such marks to Netting members thatare in a credit mark position. In addition another of GSCC s risk management controls is its ClearingFund. The Clearing Fund ensures that, if one or more of its members fails, GSCC has sufficient liquidity at all times tomeet its payment and delivery obligations.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]TheFederal Reserve did not have enough "takers" of the new 10 year notes. Ratherthan simply having to match buy and sell orders, it appears the Fed was doingmore than just matching and balancing it was pushing new notes on the marketwith a special auction. It appears some of the beneficiaries wanted to cashout!
"Acute settlement problems with the on-the-run ten-year note led the U.S.Treasury to reopen the issue on October 4 and hold an unusual "snap" auction ofnew ten-year securities."
If the Federal Reserve had to cover-up the clearance of [B]$240 Billion in covert securities, they could not let the volume ofcapital shrink by that much in the time of a monetary crisis. They would havehad to push excess liquidity into the market, and then phase it out for a softlanding. That is exactly what appears to have happened and in about two months,the money supply was back to where it was prior to 911. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
In the aftermath of September 11[SUP]th[/SUP], the Security and Exchangecommission (SEC) appears to have allowed the [B]Bank of New York ([/FONT][FONT=&]BoNY)[/FONT][FONT=&]andthe Federal Reserve to engage in securities refinancing that resulted in theAmerican taxpayer refinancing the $240billion originally used for the Great Ruble Scam. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]A review of the explanations forthe actions of the Federal Reserve after September 11th exposes an amazinglycomplex web of analysis and speculation. The reports published by the FederalReserve argue that the Federal Reserve's actions increasing the monetary supplyby over $300 billion were justified to overcome operational difficulties in thefinancial sector.
A Federal Reserve report about what happened in the aftermath of the 9/11attack, indicated that only a few were seriously disrupted. An [/FONT][FONT=&]analysisof the FED report suggests that any disruptions were essentially concentratedin one bank the Bank of New York[B](BoNY). The same Bank of New York was being investigated for moneylaundering charges in relation to the economic pillaging of Russia by criminaloligarchs. "At one point during the week after September 11, BoNY publicly reported to be overdue on$100 billion in payments."
The Deutsche bank, which sat insidethe World Trade Center and was totally decimated, reported no such accountbalance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of only two clearing banks whichuses the same traders and communications hub, reported no such increase in itsaccount balance. No one has publicly asked: why is it that these other twobanks were not seriously disrupted, while the Bank of New York which had nostructural damage, seemed unable to operate? Understanding what was happeningat the BoNY becomes critical to understanding the securities settlement issues.
[/FONT][FONT=&]TheGovernment Securities Clearing Corporation ([/FONT][FONT=&]GSCC)and several dealers could not verify what came into and what left theircustodial accounts at BoNY, they could not advise BoNY of securities theyexpected to receive, and they could not give BoNY instructions for deliveringsecurities. Additionally, GSCC was unable to verify the movement of funds intoand out of its account at BoNY (GSCC Important Notice GSCC068.01).
Tthe Bank of New York (BoNY) operations and the level of disruption experiencedon September 11th, were attributed to the loss of the communications hub indowntown Manhattan. The telephone network operations center or hub wasdecimated when the World Trade Center collapsed onto it. However, the BoNYFunding Transfer operations, which reportedly could not communicate with theFed, were located in Utica, New York, and hadnone of its communication abilities impaired. Moreover, the four BoNYback-up data centers were all located within 46 miles of Manhattan, and couldand did deliver data on tape regularly to the Fed via courier. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
The disruptions to the U.S. financial system were not as widespread as thereports from the Federal Reserve would have the public believe. The public had to be made to perceive awidespread need for declaring a national financial emergency,suspending key provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and driving the ten-yearspecial rate' to almost zero.
Certain key unknown figures in the Federal Reserve may have conspired withkey unknown figures at the Bank of New York to create a situation where [B]$240 billion in off balance sheetsecurities created in 1991 as part of an official covert operation to overthrowthe Soviet Union, could be cleared without publicly acknowledging theirexistence.
These securities, originally managed by Cantor-Fitzgerald, were cleared andsettled in the aftermath of September 11th through the BoNY. The $100 billionaccount balance bubble reported by the Wall Street Journal as being experiencedin the BoNY was the tip of a three day operation, when these securitieswere moved from off-balance-sheet to the balance sheet.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
By reducing the ten-year special rate' to almost zero, the Fed structurallyincreased the number of refinancing (Repo) settlement fails. Under the umbrellaof this artificially created statistical bump of fails, the high level of failsdue to the laundering of the[B] $240billion was able to be processed unnoticed.
The cover for this bubble is found in the footnotes to the BoNY annual andquarterly reports, which report that the BoNY took over $330 billion of commercialsecurities business from U.S. Trust between June and October of 2001, althoughthe assets under control of U.S. Trust in 2000 were reported by two sources as$80 or $86 billion.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Onover-riding consideration in the Fed's management of the aftermath of September11th was the concentration in account balances at the Federal Reserve.
It is clear that the concentration in account balances at the Federal Reserve [B] rising more than fourteen- fold from itsnormal levels on the days following the terrorist attackswas a mostunusual event. If a large proportion of the balances in the banking systemconcentrate in one bank's account, then other banks will face, all else beingequal, higher costs of making payments, or alternatively may face liquidityconstraints on their borrowing, which could preclude their submission offurther payments."
A key consideration is the pre-911 daily average for this balance. These balances and service-related balancesfor August 2001 averaged $14.65 billion per day. This makes the actual surgesdue to the 9/11 attack show a net impact of $352 billion on the account balanceover the remainder of the week. Whatappears to be the case is that the Federal Reserve imbalances reported onthree consecutive days in the aftermath were largely concentrated at the Bank of New York (BoNY), which isreported to represent over 90% of the imbalance, suggesting the Bank hadbeen the recipient of massive fund transfers, and unable to send out transfers.
None of the BoNY's systems failed or went non-operational. Todd Gibbonsof the BoNY reported an increase in the volume of securities on September 11[SUP]th[/SUP]saying, "Our contingency plans had included the ability to handle a greatamount of excess capacity; and we were able to handle the increase involumes..."
However, the overall volumes for the day were 25 percent less than normal andone third of the volume or $400 billion came in after normal business hours invery few transactions. Overall transactions for Sept. 11[SUP]th[/SUP]were seemingly down even more significantly than volume, but the transactionsthat came in after closing wereextremely large, averaging in size in packages of $35 million or more. Thiswould be consistent with a hypothesis that $240billion of securities were being pushedsurreptitiously into the money supply. Additionally, the conflictinginformation from the BoNY and Fed suggests the activity in the bank wasdifferent that that being reported to the public.
In August 2001, the value of Fed wire funds transfers averaged more than $1.6trillion per day, The value of funds transfers sent on September 11[SUP]th[/SUP] was $1.2 trillion. [/FONT][/B][/B]

The Federal Reserve, without providing the detail required to substantiate it'sclaims, would have the public believe that there were widespread liquidityissues, when in fact the issues were [B]veryconcentrated primarily, if not singularly, in the BoNY, which has been the subject of an ongoing majormoney-laundering investigation for many years.

Some previous background.......[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] According to leaked documents from anintelligence file obtained through a military source in the Office of NavalIntelligence (ONI), on or about [B]September12, 1991 non-performing and unauthorized gold-backed debt instruments wereused to purchase ten-year bonds. Thebonds in turn were illegally employed as collateral to borrow $240 billion (120 in Japanese Yen and120 in Deutsch Marks) exchanged for US currency under false pretenses; orcounterfeit and unlawful conversion of collateral against an unlimited amountof money which could be created in derivatives and debt instruments.
The illegal transactions are alsolinked to the murder of a US Army ColonelRussell Hermann, who was charged with overseeing approximately 175 secretCIA bank accounts, according to the officer's wife, Mrs. V. K. Durham. Duringmultiple interviews, Mrs. Durham said that Bush 41 and Clinton administrationofficials visited her husband several times in the months prior to and threedays before his torture and murder on August 29, 1994. [/FONT][FONT=&]Shestated that Col. Hermann believed these funds were the property of the UScitizens rather than the private slush fund of the Bush circle, and protestedthe manner in which they were being used. Ambassador Leo Wanta has sincemaintained a similar stance, that the earnings from his covert operationsshould be public funds rather than covert slush funds used by criminal USpresidents.
[/FONT][FONT=&]
Durham said $240 billion in stolencurrency was obtained resulting from George H. W. Bush's presidential abuse ofpower, when he authorized former Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady and former Secretary of State James Baker III to make fraudulent use of the Durham Family Trust collateral without her permission. Thereis evidence that Colonel Hermann's and V. K. Durham's signatures were forged ona Goldman-Sachs bank account certification requesting the conversions to U.S.currency.
The money was never repaidsince the ten-year bonds--purchased before September 13, 1991 using thefraudulent collateral and gold bullion as security, came due on September 12, 2001--the day after the 9.11attacks. It had allegedly beenunderwritten and held by the trustee, Cantor-Fitzgerald bond brokerage firm. Moreover, Durham alleges that any 10-year bond payoff for notes due on9-12-2001 would have led to additional evidence of trillions in stolen fundsfrom the US Treasury. Besides the intelligence file leaked to Durham, otherdocuments were obtained by Tom Flocco from whistleblower Stewart Webb'sintelligence sources.[/FONT][/B][/B]

[B]-----------------------------[/B]
[B][FONT=&] Aseries of operatives assigned by President George H.W. Bush would begin thetakeover of prized Russian and CIS industrial assets in oil, metals anddefense. This was done by financing and managing the money-laundering for theRussian oligarchs through the [B]Bank ofNew York, [/FONT][FONT=&]Associationof European Businesses[/FONT][FONT=&]([/FONT][FONT=&]AEB)[/FONT][FONT=&] and Riggs Bank. This group ended up controlling Gazprom, the Russian natural gas giant,while the Riggs group ended up controlling Yukos,the oil giant. Ownership for both remains largely hidden today, while its frontmen endure the hardships of the Russian wrath by spending time in prison.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]The [/FONT][FONT=&]AEB [/FONT][FONT=&]represents and promotes the interests ofEuropean companies conducting business in and with the Russian Federation.[/FONT][FONT=&]The AEB carries out activities to improve theRussian business and trade environment and to promote economic integration andpartnership between the Russian Federation and the European Union.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&] In an economic attack on the Soviet Union,George HW Bush authorized [B]Leo Wanta andothers to destabilize the ruble and facilitate the theft of theSoviet/Russian treasury. This would result in draining the Russian treasuryof between 2,000 to 3,000 tons of gold bullion ($35 billion at the time). In the meantime, Riggs Bank was quickly solidifying banking relations with Swissbankers Bruce Rappaport, and Alfred Hartmann. Through this groupGeorge Soros opened a second front assault on the ruble. It is at this stage ofthe operation that three more groups would be brought into the plan by Rappaportand Hartmann: The Russian Mafia, the Israeli Mossad, and the Rothschild familyinterests represented by Jacob Rothschild.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Someof the [/FONT][FONT=&]Golden EagleFund (Nazi gold) [/FONT][FONT=&]captured by the US was under [B]E.P. Barry'ssupervision and it was subsequently used to finance US intelligence operationsin West Germany in the immediate post-war years.Barry had been a USmilitary intelligence officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) duringWorld War II. Barry was a longtime associate of CIA Director William Casey.
[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] E. P. Barry wassimultaneously a key shareholder in Florida Shares and the InterMaritime Bank of [B]Bruce Rappaport,who was also a close friend and business associate of William Casey. Rappaport, an oilman and oil tanker broker isthought to have ties to US and Israeli intelligence and he had numerousconnections to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). The Gokal shipping family of Pakistan,leading BCCI investors who later contributed to BCCI's bankruptcy, was alsoshareholders with Rappaport and Barry in the Inter Maritime Bank. Alfred Hartmann, a board member ofBCCI, was both vice-chairman of Rappaport's Swiss bank, Bank of NewYork-Intermaritime, and also head of BCCI's Swiss subsidiary, the Banquede Commerce et de Placements (BCP).[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] "Rappaport workedthe National Bank of Oman (a BCCI/Bank of America joint venture),helping funnel millions of CIA and Saudi dollars to Pakistan for the Afghanrebels during its 1980s war with the Soviets." Rappaport's key man in Omanwas [B]Jerry Townsend, an allegedformer CIA operative who now ran Colonial Shipping Co. in Atlanta, wherehe knew BCCI associate Bert Lance.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] This step would prevent a monetary defenseof the ruble and thus destabilize the currency. The gold was stolen in [B]March of 1991, facilitated by Leo Wantaand signed off by Boris Yeltsin's right hand man. The majority of the leakedreports from the CIA and FBI suggest the theft of the Russian treasury was aKGB and Communist party operation, but what those reports omitted was theextensive involvement of Boris Yeltsin,the CIA and the U.S. banking industry.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] In November [B]1989 George H.W. Bush appears to have arranged for Alton G. Keel Jr, to go to work atRiggs Bank, which would become the controlling owner of a small Swiss bankoperation known as Valmet. TheRiggs-Valmet operation, would become the consultants to the World Bank and toseveral KGB front operations run by future Russian oligarchs Khordokovsky,Konanykhine, Berezovsky and Abromovich.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] These soon-to-be Russian oligarchs had beenset-up as front men by KGB [B]General Aleksey(Alexei) Kondaurov; and General Fillipp Bobkov, who previously reported to General Victor Cherbrikov, who worked with Robert Maxwell, a British financial mogul, an Israeli secretservice agent, and a representative of US intelligence interests.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] The KGB was well aware of President BushSr.'s eagerness to see a collapse of Gorbachev. The CIA was moving hundreds ofmillions of dollars to the Generals before the coup through [B]Robert Maxwell. Many who observed thecoup described it as a fake coup, which was never intended to succeed. Yeltsinhimself writes in his memoirs that the coup was actually a veiled, pro-Yeltsincoup. The generals who conducted the coup said the same.
A 1991 coup against Gorbachev was engineered by KGB General Vladimir Kruchkov who reportedto General Victor Cherbrikov. [/FONT][FONT=&]These two would bring apreviously unknown politician, BorisYeltsin to the forefront of Russian politics by providing 50 percent ofYeltsin's campaign funding. [/FONT][FONT=&]Both of these men were businesspartners with Robert Maxwell.Maxwell assisted Gen. Cherbrikov in selling military weaponry to Iran and theNicaraguan Contras during the course of the Iran Contra deals, and madehundreds of millions of dollars available to Gen. Cherbrikov's Russian banks.It had been Maxwell that initiated the dialogue about a coup with Gen. Kruchkov.In the same month as the coup, Maxwell was in Russia and received $780 milliondollars from the CIA via the Israelis to pass on to General Kruchkov. Maxwell'schief US connection was Senator JohnTower, who was long time confidante of George H.W. Bush. After hisSenatorial career, Tower actually worked for Maxwell on the Board of one ofMaxwell's smaller publishing firms - Pergamon-Brassey.
In this operation, Maxwell was supported by aformer four star general, a retired U.S. Air Force General and a retiredBritish Major General.
[/FONT][/B][/B]
[FONT=&] In a major operation to destabilize theruble was coordinated by Alan Greenspan, Oliver North, (and implemented by Leo Wanta), George Soros and a group ofBush. They are accused of fronting $240billion in covert securities to support the various aspects of this plan.These bonds were created (in part or in whole) from a secretive Durham Trust, managed by ex-OSS/CIAofficer, [B]Colonel Russell Hermann, [/B][/FONT][B][FONT=&]who was a fund controller for theCIA's fund not disclosed to Congress. This fund came from captured gold from the Nazis and the Japanese Armywhich was not returned to the nations from which it was stolen or put into theUS Treasury account. This slush fundpaid for CIA operations. This secret CIAslush fund included money from gold taken from Philippine President[/FONT][FONT=&]Ferdinand Marcos.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Vice President Bush took the goldfrom Marcos in 1986 when Marcos was forced out of office. It is estimated thatMarcos was in possession of 73,000 tons of gold at that time. In removingMarcos from office, the US was supported by his General Fidel Ramos, whodefected from Marcos's ranks to support [B]CorazonAquino. Fidel Ramos was later made a Board member of the Carlyle Group. The Marcos gold wasremoved to a series of banks, most notably Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Hong KongShanghai Banking Corporation, UBS and Banker's Trust, and held in a depositoryin Kloten Switzerland. Bush administrators involved in the forced departure ofMarcos were Richard Armitage and Paul Wolfowitz. Adnan Khashoggi was alsoinvolved, helping move the gold. It was at this time that Khashoggi , ShiekKamal Adham, Khalid bin Mahfouz, and Peter Munk would create a Canadian goldmining company called Barrick Gold.
[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] Mrs. V.K. Durham, wife of Russell Herman,has contended in sworn testimony that George H.W. Bush, Oliver North and AlanGreenspan forced her husband into relinquishing the funding for the bonds onthat date. They later forged Herman's signature on related financialtransactions. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&] Shortly before the attempted coup of 1991,Robert Maxwell met Kruchkov on Maxwell's private yacht. Shortly afterwards, Maxwelldied mysteriously on his yacht. [/FONT][FONT=&]Maxwell's wife was advised by a CIAagent to discourage any investigation into her husband's death if she valuedher life.[/FONT][FONT=&]Robert Maxwell had been introduced to George Bush in 1976 by Senator Tower forthe sole purpose of using Maxwell as an intermediary between Bush and theSoviet Intelligence.[/FONT][/B]

[B][FONT=&]In [B]1976,a coalition of intelligence agencies was formed and was called the Safari Club. This marked the discreetand highly covert coordination among various intelligence agencies. The Safari Club included France, Egypt,Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran [under the Shah]. However, "The Safari Clubneeded a network of banks to finance its intelligence operations.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][B][FONT=&] With the official blessing of George H.W.Bush as the head of the CIA," Saudi intelligence chief, [B]Kamal Adham, "transformed a small Pakistani merchant bank, the Bankof Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), into a world-wide money-launderingmachine, buying banks around the world to create the biggest clandestine moneynetwork in history."[/FONT][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][FONT=&] Arkansasbillionaire Jackson Stephens had close ties to BCCI. He was the one who brokered the very arrivalof BCCI in America in [B]1977. He is an old friend Bert Lance and wasinvestment banker to Lance's National Bank of Georgia. Stephens introducedLance to Saudi billionaire GhaithPharaon and to BCCI founder [B]AghaHassan Abedi. Pharaon fronting forBCCI, would later buy the National Bank of Georgia. SEC documents show that Stephens also steeredAbedi to take over Stephens's bank, First American Bankshares inWashington DC.[/B][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][FONT=&] Stephens's [/FONT][FONT=&]principalmotive in bringing BCCI to America was apparently to connect up his ownfinancial institutions to [B]the global drug trafficking profit laundry--notonly First American Bankshares in Washington DC, but also those banks in LittleRock, AR. To avoid the type of SEC scrutiny involved in the Financial Generaltakeover, Webster Hubbell, was employed to draw up the charter for the [B]ArkansasDevelopment Finance Authority (ADFA). [/B][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] The USbanks needed to get into the drug money laundering business to continue tocontrol international banking and to protect the value of the dollar. There is a consensus among US CongressionalInvestigators, former bankers and international banking experts estimate that USand European banks launder between $500 billion and $1 trillion of dirty moneyeach year, $250 billion to $500 billion of which is laundered by US banks. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] It beganwhen Stephens helped bring BCCI to America. The details of this story areimportant, because it represents the beginnings of a cozy relationship betweenJackson Stephens, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Webster Hubbell, Bert Lance, VinceFoster, and BCCI. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] One form ofStephens' laundry worked through front companies set up by bond broker DonLasater. These companies would deposit cash in banks such as Stephens's WorthenBank, which would not fill out reporting forms. In return for this service, thecompanies would be obligated to buy bonds issued by the ADFA, and underwrittenby Stephens's investment bank Stephens Inc. Stephens would thus be compensatedfor the laundering service in the form of an investment-banking fee. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] The moneyfrom the bond issue, meanwhile, would go back to the same front companies. Thatis, in effect the companies bought their own bonds and paid Stephens a fee forthe service. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]The participation of the ADFA, a state governmentinstitution, [B]eliminated SEC scrutiny. ADFA formally issued and"guaranteed" the bonds, and thus collected a fee in the process. Someof these fees were translated into "loans" to the political friendsof the Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] At othertimes ADFA was itself the core of the laundry. At the end of [B]December 1988,for example, the ADFA deposited $50 million in Fuji Bank in the Cayman Islands.Fuji Bank subsequently purchased the industrial development loan of POM, Inc.,a parking meter and (fire) arms manufacturing company owned by Seth Ward,Webster Hubbell's father-in-law. Webster Hubbell was also POM's corporateattorney. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]

[B][B][B][B][B][B][B]Sibel Edmonds, a TurkishAmerican who worked as a Turkish language translator for the FBI, listened intohundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations. Among the hours of covert tape recordings,she says she heard evidence that Marc Grossmanthe third highest ranking official in the US State Department and formerUS Ambassador to Turkey[FONT=&],[/FONT]was being paid by Turkish agents in Washington who were selling the informationon to black market buyers, including Pakistan. Edmonds stated that Marc Grossman was involvedin efforts to provide US nuclear secrets to Pakistan and Israel. She suggeststhis was done through Turkish contacts and Pakistani contacts, including theformer head of Pakistan's ISI who provided funding to alleged 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. Edmonds said: "He was aiding foreignintelligence services against US interests by passing them highly classifiedinformation, not only from the State Department, but also from the Pentagon, inexchange for money, position and political objectives." [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B]She said "I toldthe FBI that that [B]Marc Grossman disclosed that Brewster Jennings was aCIA front company to the target of an FBI investigation. Thiswas three years before journalist Robert Novak out-ed Valerie Plame-Wilsonas a CIA operative in his newspaper column. [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]She charges that Grossman arranged for Turkish andIsraeli Ph.D. students to acquire security clearances to Los Alamos and othernuclear facilities; and that nuclear secrets they acquired were transmitted toPakistan and to Abdul Qadeer Khan, the "father of the Islamic bomb,"who in turn was selling nuclear technology to Libya and other nations.[/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]TheUS imposed sanctions on Pakistan over their development of nuclear weapons.Some business relations went on as usual though. Pakistan holds a verystrategic position for countries or corporations wanting access to the oil andnatural gas fields of the newly liberated former Soviet Republics ofKazakhstan, Turkmenistan, & Uzbekistan. If a Western power wanted to accessthese fields they would need to pipe these resources to a port where thesethings could be shipped back home. Theonly cost effective way to get resources from this region would be to pipe themthrough Afghanistan & Pakistan to a port along the Pakistani or Indiancoast of the Indian Ocean.[/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]

[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]The Turks and Israelis had planted"moles" in military and academic institutions which handled nucleartechnology. Edmonds says there were [B]severaltransactions of nuclear material every month, with the Pakistanis being among the eventual buyers."The network appeared to be obtaining information from every nuclearagency in the United States," she said.

[B][B][FONT=&]TheFederal Reserve Suspends the Rules [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]On the first day after the Sept. 11,2001 alleged terrorist attack, the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC)lifted "Rule 15c3-3 - Customer Protection, Reserves and Custody of Securities,"which set trading rules. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]As a result the Federal Reserve andthe [/FONT][FONT=&]Government Securities ClearingCorporation (G[/FONT][FONT=&]SCC) had created a settlementenvironment [B]totally void of controls andreporting where it could substitute valid, new government securities forthe mature, illegal securities, and not have to record where the bad securitiescame from, or where the new securities went all because the paper for theprimary brokers for US securities had been eliminated. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]The[/FONT][FONT=&]GovernmentSecurities Clearing Corporation (G[/FONT][FONT=&]SCC)part of the Division of Market Regulation of the SEC. [/FONT][FONT=&][B]GSCC[/FONT][FONT=&] isregistered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a securities clearingagency for U.S. government securities. The GSCCprovides automated trade comparison, netting, and settlement services for US.

[B][FONT=&]TheFederal Reserve did not have enough "takers" of the new 10 year notes. Ratherthan simply having to match buy and sell orders, it appears the Fed was doingmore than just matching and balancing it was pushing new notes on the marketwith a special auction. It appears some of the beneficiaries wanted to cashout!
"Acute settlement problems with the on-the-run ten-year note led the U.S.Treasury to reopen the issue on October 4 and hold an unusual "snap" auction ofnew ten-year securities."
If the Federal Reserve had to cover-up the clearance of [B]$240 Billion in covert securities, they could not let the volume ofcapital shrink by that much in the time of a monetary crisis. They would havehad to push excess liquidity into the market, and then phase it out for a softlanding. That is exactly what appears to have happened and in about two months,the money supply was back to where it was prior to 911. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
In the aftermath of September 11[SUP]th[/SUP], the Security and Exchangecommission (SEC) appears to have allowed the [B]Bank of New York ([/FONT][FONT=&]BoNY)[/FONT][FONT=&]andthe Federal Reserve to engage in securities refinancing that resulted in theAmerican taxpayer refinancing the $240billion originally used for the Great Ruble Scam. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]A review of the explanations forthe actions of the Federal Reserve after September 11th exposes an amazinglycomplex web of analysis and speculation. The reports published by the FederalReserve argue that the Federal Reserve's actions increasing the monetary supplyby over $300 billion were justified to overcome operational difficulties in thefinancial sector.
A Federal Reserve report about what happened in the aftermath of the 9/11attack, indicated that only a few were seriously disrupted. An [/FONT][FONT=&]analysisof the FED report suggests that any disruptions were essentially concentratedin one bank the Bank of New York[B](BoNY). The same Bank of New York was being investigated for moneylaundering charges in relation to the economic pillaging of Russia by criminaloligarchs. "At one point during the week after September 11, BoNY publicly reported to be overdue on$100 billion in payments."
The Deutsche bank, which sat insidethe World Trade Center and was totally decimated, reported no such accountbalance increase, and JP Morgan, the other of only two clearing banks whichuses the same traders and communications hub, reported no such increase in itsaccount balance. No one has publicly asked: why is it that these other twobanks were not seriously disrupted, while the Bank of New York which had nostructural damage, seemed unable to operate? Understanding what was happeningat the BoNY becomes critical to understanding the securities settlement issues.
[/FONT][FONT=&]TheGovernment Securities Clearing Corporation ([/FONT][FONT=&]GSCC)and several dealers could not verify what came into and what left theircustodial accounts at BoNY, they could not advise BoNY of securities theyexpected to receive, and they could not give BoNY instructions for deliveringsecurities. Additionally, GSCC was unable to verify the movement of funds intoand out of its account at BoNY (GSCC Important Notice GSCC068.01).
Tthe Bank of New York (BoNY) operations and the level of disruption experiencedon September 11th, were attributed to the loss of the communications hub indowntown Manhattan. The telephone network operations center or hub wasdecimated when the World Trade Center collapsed onto it. However, the BoNYFunding Transfer operations, which reportedly could not communicate with theFed, were located in Utica, New York, and hadnone of its communication abilities impaired. Moreover, the four BoNYback-up data centers were all located within 46 miles of Manhattan, and couldand did deliver data on tape regularly to the Fed via courier. [/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
The disruptions to the U.S. financial system were not as widespread as thereports from the Federal Reserve would have the public believe. The public had to be made to perceive awidespread need for declaring a national financial emergency,suspending key provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and driving the ten-yearspecial rate' to almost zero.
Certain key unknown figures in the Federal Reserve may have conspired withkey unknown figures at the Bank of New York to create a situation where [B]$240 billion in off balance sheetsecurities created in 1991 as part of an official covert operation to overthrowthe Soviet Union, could be cleared without publicly acknowledging theirexistence.
These securities, originally managed by Cantor-Fitzgerald, were cleared andsettled in the aftermath of September 11th through the BoNY. The $100 billionaccount balance bubble reported by the Wall Street Journal as being experiencedin the BoNY was the tip of a three day operation, when these securitieswere moved from off-balance-sheet to the balance sheet.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]
By reducing the ten-year special rate' to almost zero, the Fed structurallyincreased the number of refinancing (Repo) settlement fails. Under the umbrellaof this artificially created statistical bump of fails, the high level of failsdue to the laundering of the[B] $240billion was able to be processed unnoticed.
The cover for this bubble is found in the footnotes to the BoNY annual andquarterly reports, which report that the BoNY took over $330 billion of commercialsecurities business from U.S. Trust between June and October of 2001, althoughthe assets under control of U.S. Trust in 2000 were reported by two sources as$80 or $86 billion.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Onover-riding consideration in the Fed's management of the aftermath of September11th was the concentration in account balances at the Federal Reserve.
It is clear that the concentration in account balances at the Federal Reserve [B] rising more than fourteen- fold from itsnormal levels on the days following the terrorist attackswas a mostunusual event. If a large proportion of the balances in the banking systemconcentrate in one bank's account, then other banks will face, all else beingequal, higher costs of making payments, or alternatively may face liquidityconstraints on their borrowing, which could preclude their submission offurther payments."
A key consideration is the pre-911 daily average for this balance. These balances and service-related balancesfor August 2001 averaged $14.65 billion per day. This makes the actual surgesdue to the 9/11 attack show a net impact of $352 billion on the account balanceover the remainder of the week. Whatappears to be the case is that the Federal Reserve imbalances reported onthree consecutive days in the aftermath were largely concentrated at the Bank of New York (BoNY), which isreported to represent over 90% of the imbalance, suggesting the Bank hadbeen the recipient of massive fund transfers, and unable to send out transfers.
None of the BoNY's systems failed or went non-operational. Todd Gibbonsof the BoNY reported an increase in the volume of securities on September 11[SUP]th[/SUP]saying, "Our contingency plans had included the ability to handle a greatamount of excess capacity; and we were able to handle the increase involumes..."
However, the overall volumes for the day were 25 percent less than normal andone third of the volume or $400 billion came in after normal business hours invery few transactions. Overall transactions for Sept. 11[SUP]th[/SUP]were seemingly down even more significantly than volume, but the transactionsthat came in after closing wereextremely large, averaging in size in packages of $35 million or more. Thiswould be consistent with a hypothesis that $240billion of securities were being pushedsurreptitiously into the money supply. Additionally, the conflictinginformation from the BoNY and Fed suggests the activity in the bank wasdifferent that that being reported to the public.
In August 2001, the value of Fed wire funds transfers averaged more than $1.6trillion per day, The value of funds transfers sent on September 11[SUP]th[/SUP] was $1.2 trillion. [/FONT][/B][/B]

The Federal Reserve, without providing the detail required to substantiate it'sclaims, would have the public believe that there were widespread liquidityissues, when in fact the issues were [B]veryconcentrated primarily, if not singularly, in the BoNY, which has been the subject of an ongoing majormoney-laundering investigation for many years.

Some previous background.......[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] According to leaked documents from anintelligence file obtained through a military source in the Office of NavalIntelligence (ONI), on or about [B]September12, 1991 non-performing and unauthorized gold-backed debt instruments wereused to purchase ten-year bonds. Thebonds in turn were illegally employed as collateral to borrow $240 billion (120 in Japanese Yen and120 in Deutsch Marks) exchanged for US currency under false pretenses; orcounterfeit and unlawful conversion of collateral against an unlimited amountof money which could be created in derivatives and debt instruments.
The illegal transactions are alsolinked to the murder of a US Army ColonelRussell Hermann, who was charged with overseeing approximately 175 secretCIA bank accounts, according to the officer's wife, Mrs. V. K. Durham. Duringmultiple interviews, Mrs. Durham said that Bush 41 and Clinton administrationofficials visited her husband several times in the months prior to and threedays before his torture and murder on August 29, 1994. [/FONT][FONT=&]Shestated that Col. Hermann believed these funds were the property of the UScitizens rather than the private slush fund of the Bush circle, and protestedthe manner in which they were being used. Ambassador Leo Wanta has sincemaintained a similar stance, that the earnings from his covert operationsshould be public funds rather than covert slush funds used by criminal USpresidents.
[/FONT][FONT=&]
Durham said $240 billion in stolencurrency was obtained resulting from George H. W. Bush's presidential abuse ofpower, when he authorized former Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady and former Secretary of State James Baker III to make fraudulent use of the Durham Family Trust collateral without her permission. Thereis evidence that Colonel Hermann's and V. K. Durham's signatures were forged ona Goldman-Sachs bank account certification requesting the conversions to U.S.currency.
The money was never repaidsince the ten-year bonds--purchased before September 13, 1991 using thefraudulent collateral and gold bullion as security, came due on September 12, 2001--the day after the 9.11attacks. It had allegedly beenunderwritten and held by the trustee, Cantor-Fitzgerald bond brokerage firm. Moreover, Durham alleges that any 10-year bond payoff for notes due on9-12-2001 would have led to additional evidence of trillions in stolen fundsfrom the US Treasury. Besides the intelligence file leaked to Durham, otherdocuments were obtained by Tom Flocco from whistleblower Stewart Webb'sintelligence sources.[/FONT][/B][/B]

This was done by financing and managing the money-laundering for theRussian oligarchs through the [B]Bank ofNew York, [/FONT][FONT=&]Associationof European Businesses[/FONT][FONT=&]([/FONT][FONT=&]AEB)[/FONT][FONT=&] and Riggs Bank. This group ended up controlling Gazprom, the Russian natural gas giant,while the Riggs group ended up controlling Yukos,the oil giant. Ownership for both remains largely hidden today, while its frontmen endure the hardships of the Russian wrath by spending time in prison.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]The [/FONT][FONT=&]AEB [/FONT][FONT=&]represents and promotes the interests ofEuropean companies conducting business in and with the Russian Federation.[/FONT][FONT=&]The AEB carries out activities to improve theRussian business and trade environment and to promote economic integration andpartnership between the Russian Federation and the European Union.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&] In an economic attack on the Soviet Union,George HW Bush authorized [B]Leo Wanta andothers to destabilize the ruble and facilitate the theft of theSoviet/Russian treasury. This would result in draining the Russian treasuryof between 2,000 to 3,000 tons of gold bullion ($35 billion at the time). In the meantime, Riggs Bank was quickly solidifying banking relations with Swissbankers Bruce Rappaport, and Alfred Hartmann. Through this groupGeorge Soros opened a second front assault on the ruble. It is at this stage ofthe operation that three more groups would be brought into the plan by Rappaportand Hartmann: The Russian Mafia, the Israeli Mossad, and the Rothschild familyinterests represented by Jacob Rothschild.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Someof the [/FONT][FONT=&]Golden EagleFund (Nazi gold) [/FONT][FONT=&]captured by the US was under [B]E.P. Barry'ssupervision and it was subsequently used to finance US intelligence operationsin West Germany in the immediate post-war years.Barry had been a USmilitary intelligence officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) duringWorld War II. Barry was a longtime associate of CIA Director William Casey.
[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] E. P. Barry wassimultaneously a key shareholder in Florida Shares and the InterMaritime Bank of [B]Bruce Rappaport,who was also a close friend and business associate of William Casey. Rappaport, an oilman and oil tanker broker isthought to have ties to US and Israeli intelligence and he had numerousconnections to the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). The Gokal shipping family of Pakistan,leading BCCI investors who later contributed to BCCI's bankruptcy, was alsoshareholders with Rappaport and Barry in the Inter Maritime Bank. Alfred Hartmann, a board member ofBCCI, was both vice-chairman of Rappaport's Swiss bank, Bank of NewYork-Intermaritime, and also head of BCCI's Swiss subsidiary, the Banquede Commerce et de Placements (BCP).[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] "Rappaport workedthe National Bank of Oman (a BCCI/Bank of America joint venture),helping funnel millions of CIA and Saudi dollars to Pakistan for the Afghanrebels during its 1980s war with the Soviets." Rappaport's key man in Omanwas [B]Jerry Townsend, an allegedformer CIA operative who now ran Colonial Shipping Co. in Atlanta, wherehe knew BCCI associate Bert Lance.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] This step would prevent a monetary defenseof the ruble and thus destabilize the currency. The gold was stolen in [B]March of 1991, facilitated by Leo Wantaand signed off by Boris Yeltsin's right hand man. The majority of the leakedreports from the CIA and FBI suggest the theft of the Russian treasury was aKGB and Communist party operation, but what those reports omitted was theextensive involvement of Boris Yeltsin,the CIA and the U.S. banking industry.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] In November [B]1989 George H.W. Bush appears to have arranged for Alton G. Keel Jr, to go to work atRiggs Bank, which would become the controlling owner of a small Swiss bankoperation known as Valmet. TheRiggs-Valmet operation, would become the consultants to the World Bank and toseveral KGB front operations run by future Russian oligarchs Khordokovsky,Konanykhine, Berezovsky and Abromovich.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] These soon-to-be Russian oligarchs had beenset-up as front men by KGB [B]General Aleksey(Alexei) Kondaurov; and General Fillipp Bobkov, who previously reported to General Victor Cherbrikov, who worked with Robert Maxwell, a British financial mogul, an Israeli secretservice agent, and a representative of US intelligence interests.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][FONT=&] The KGB was well aware of President BushSr.'s eagerness to see a collapse of Gorbachev. The CIA was moving hundreds ofmillions of dollars to the Generals before the coup through [B]Robert Maxwell. Many who observed thecoup described it as a fake coup, which was never intended to succeed. Yeltsinhimself writes in his memoirs that the coup was actually a veiled, pro-Yeltsincoup. The generals who conducted the coup said the same.
A 1991 coup against Gorbachev was engineered by KGB General Vladimir Kruchkov who reportedto General Victor Cherbrikov. [/FONT][FONT=&]These two would bring apreviously unknown politician, BorisYeltsin to the forefront of Russian politics by providing 50 percent ofYeltsin's campaign funding. [/FONT][FONT=&]Both of these men were businesspartners with Robert Maxwell.Maxwell assisted Gen. Cherbrikov in selling military weaponry to Iran and theNicaraguan Contras during the course of the Iran Contra deals, and madehundreds of millions of dollars available to Gen. Cherbrikov's Russian banks.It had been Maxwell that initiated the dialogue about a coup with Gen. Kruchkov.In the same month as the coup, Maxwell was in Russia and received $780 milliondollars from the CIA via the Israelis to pass on to General Kruchkov. Maxwell'schief US connection was Senator JohnTower, who was long time confidante of George H.W. Bush. After hisSenatorial career, Tower actually worked for Maxwell on the Board of one ofMaxwell's smaller publishing firms - Pergamon-Brassey.
In this operation, Maxwell was supported by aformer four star general, a retired U.S. Air Force General and a retiredBritish Major General.

[FONT=&] In a major operation to destabilize theruble was coordinated by Alan Greenspan, Oliver North, (and implemented by Leo Wanta), George Soros and a group ofBush. They are accused of fronting $240billion in covert securities to support the various aspects of this plan.These bonds were created (in part or in whole) from a secretive Durham Trust, managed by ex-OSS/CIAofficer, [B]Colonel Russell Hermann, [/B][/FONT][B][FONT=&]who was a fund controller for theCIA's fund not disclosed to Congress. This fund came from captured gold from the Nazis and the Japanese Armywhich was not returned to the nations from which it was stolen or put into theUS Treasury account. This slush fundpaid for CIA operations. This secret CIAslush fund included money from gold taken from Philippine President[/FONT][FONT=&]Ferdinand Marcos.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]Vice President Bush took the goldfrom Marcos in 1986 when Marcos was forced out of office. It is estimated thatMarcos was in possession of 73,000 tons of gold at that time. In removingMarcos from office, the US was supported by his General Fidel Ramos, whodefected from Marcos's ranks to support [B]CorazonAquino. Fidel Ramos was later made a Board member of the Carlyle Group. The Marcos gold wasremoved to a series of banks, most notably Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Hong KongShanghai Banking Corporation, UBS and Banker's Trust, and held in a depositoryin Kloten Switzerland. Bush administrators involved in the forced departure ofMarcos were Richard Armitage and Paul Wolfowitz. Adnan Khashoggi was alsoinvolved, helping move the gold. It was at this time that Khashoggi , ShiekKamal Adham, Khalid bin Mahfouz, and Peter Munk would create a Canadian goldmining company called Barrick Gold.

[B][FONT=&] Mrs. V.K. Durham, wife of Russell Herman,has contended in sworn testimony that George H.W. Bush, Oliver North and AlanGreenspan forced her husband into relinquishing the funding for the bonds onthat date. They later forged Herman's signature on related financialtransactions. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&] Shortly before the attempted coup of 1991,Robert Maxwell met Kruchkov on Maxwell's private yacht. Shortly afterwards, Maxwelldied mysteriously on his yacht. [/FONT][FONT=&]Maxwell's wife was advised by a CIAagent to discourage any investigation into her husband's death if she valuedher life.[/FONT][FONT=&]Robert Maxwell had been introduced to George Bush in 1976 by Senator Tower forthe sole purpose of using Maxwell as an intermediary between Bush and theSoviet Intelligence.[/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&] Senator Tower died in a plane crash undersuspicious circumstances in [B]April of1991.

[FONT=&]Jackson Stephens and BCCI [/FONT]
[B][FONT=&]The profits from the traffickingin heroin provided income to the Afghani poppy farmers and these profitsprovided cash to the shadow CIA with which to buy weapons for the Afghanis to fightSoviets. As an additional benefit,making money for the bankers that re-cycled the drug profits back into theworld economy. And of course, helpingand weapons manufacturers and the oil companies get access to the oil in theMiddle East and countering the attempts by the Russians and Chinese in theirquest for access to oil. [/FONT][/B]
[B][FONT=&]In [B]1976,a coalition of intelligence agencies was formed and was called the Safari Club. This marked the discreetand highly covert coordination among various intelligence agencies. The Safari Club included France, Egypt,Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran [under the Shah]. However, "The Safari Clubneeded a network of banks to finance its intelligence operations.[/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][B][FONT=&] With the official blessing of George H.W.Bush as the head of the CIA," Saudi intelligence chief, [B]Kamal Adham, "transformed a small Pakistani merchant bank, the Bankof Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), into a world-wide money-launderingmachine, buying banks around the world to create the biggest clandestine moneynetwork in history."[/FONT][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][FONT=&] Arkansasbillionaire Jackson Stephens had close ties to BCCI. He was the one who brokered the very arrivalof BCCI in America in [B]1977. He is an old friend Bert Lance and wasinvestment banker to Lance's National Bank of Georgia. Stephens introducedLance to Saudi billionaire GhaithPharaon and to BCCI founder [B]AghaHassan Abedi. Pharaon fronting forBCCI, would later buy the National Bank of Georgia. SEC documents show that Stephens also steeredAbedi to take over Stephens's bank, First American Bankshares inWashington DC.[/B][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][FONT=&] Stephens's [/FONT][FONT=&]principalmotive in bringing BCCI to America was apparently to connect up his ownfinancial institutions to [B]the global drug trafficking profit laundry--notonly First American Bankshares in Washington DC, but also those banks in LittleRock, AR. To avoid the type of SEC scrutiny involved in the Financial Generaltakeover, Webster Hubbell, was employed to draw up the charter for the [B]ArkansasDevelopment Finance Authority (ADFA). [/B][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] The USbanks needed to get into the drug money laundering business to continue tocontrol international banking and to protect the value of the dollar. There is a consensus among US CongressionalInvestigators, former bankers and international banking experts estimate that USand European banks launder between $500 billion and $1 trillion of dirty moneyeach year, $250 billion to $500 billion of which is laundered by US banks. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] It beganwhen Stephens helped bring BCCI to America. The details of this story areimportant, because it represents the beginnings of a cozy relationship betweenJackson Stephens, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Webster Hubbell, Bert Lance, VinceFoster, and BCCI. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] One form ofStephens' laundry worked through front companies set up by bond broker DonLasater. These companies would deposit cash in banks such as Stephens's WorthenBank, which would not fill out reporting forms. In return for this service, thecompanies would be obligated to buy bonds issued by the ADFA, and underwrittenby Stephens's investment bank Stephens Inc. Stephens would thus be compensatedfor the laundering service in the form of an investment-banking fee. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] The moneyfrom the bond issue, meanwhile, would go back to the same front companies. Thatis, in effect the companies bought their own bonds and paid Stephens a fee forthe service. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]The participation of the ADFA, a state governmentinstitution, [B]eliminated SEC scrutiny. ADFA formally issued and"guaranteed" the bonds, and thus collected a fee in the process. Someof these fees were translated into "loans" to the political friendsof the Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&] At othertimes ADFA was itself the core of the laundry. At the end of [B]December 1988,for example, the ADFA deposited $50 million in Fuji Bank in the Cayman Islands.Fuji Bank subsequently purchased the industrial development loan of POM, Inc.,a parking meter and (fire) arms manufacturing company owned by Seth Ward,Webster Hubbell's father-in-law. Webster Hubbell was also POM's corporateattorney. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]

[B][B][B][B][B][B]Now here is another twist linking US corporations to oil deals and to9/11. [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][B]Sibel Edmonds, a TurkishAmerican who worked as a Turkish language translator for the FBI, listened intohundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations. Among the hours of covert tape recordings,she says she heard evidence that Marc Grossmanthe third highest ranking official in the US State Department and formerUS Ambassador to Turkey[FONT=&],[/FONT]was being paid by Turkish agents in Washington who were selling the informationon to black market buyers, including Pakistan. Edmonds stated that Marc Grossman was involvedin efforts to provide US nuclear secrets to Pakistan and Israel. She suggeststhis was done through Turkish contacts and Pakistani contacts, including theformer head of Pakistan's ISI who provided funding to alleged 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. Edmonds said: "He was aiding foreignintelligence services against US interests by passing them highly classifiedinformation, not only from the State Department, but also from the Pentagon, inexchange for money, position and political objectives." [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B]She said "I toldthe FBI that that [B]Marc Grossman disclosed that Brewster Jennings was aCIA front company to the target of an FBI investigation. Thiswas three years before journalist Robert Novak out-ed Valerie Plame-Wilsonas a CIA operative in his newspaper column. [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]She charges that Grossman arranged for Turkish andIsraeli Ph.D. students to acquire security clearances to Los Alamos and othernuclear facilities; and that nuclear secrets they acquired were transmitted toPakistan and to Abdul Qadeer Khan, the "father of the Islamic bomb,"who in turn was selling nuclear technology to Libya and other nations.[/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]TheUS imposed sanctions on Pakistan over their development of nuclear weapons.Some business relations went on as usual though. Pakistan holds a verystrategic position for countries or corporations wanting access to the oil andnatural gas fields of the newly liberated former Soviet Republics ofKazakhstan, Turkmenistan, & Uzbekistan. If a Western power wanted to accessthese fields they would need to pipe these resources to a port where thesethings could be shipped back home. Theonly cost effective way to get resources from this region would be to pipe themthrough Afghanistan & Pakistan to a port along the Pakistani or Indiancoast of the Indian Ocean.[/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]In[B]May 1998 India, then Pakistan heldlive nuclear tests. According to this excellentTIME article General Mahmoud Ahmadtippedoff an associate named, Ahmed al-Khadir who was wanted for the bombing of theEgyptian embassy in Islamabad in 1995, and helped him escape into Afghanistan.[/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]The Turks and Israelis had planted"moles" in military and academic institutions which handled nucleartechnology. Edmonds says there were [B]severaltransactions of nuclear material every month, with the Pakistanis being among the eventual buyers."The network appeared to be obtaining information from every nuclearagency in the United States," she said. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]The Pakistani operation was led byGeneral Mahmoud Ahmad, then the ISI chief. Intercepted communications showed Ahmad andhis colleagues stationed in Washington were in constant contact with attachésin the Turkish embassy. [/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][B][FONT=&]Edmonds says packages containingnuclear secrets were delivered by Turkish operatives, using their cover asmembers of the diplomatic and military community, to contacts at the Pakistaniembassy in Washington.
