chapter 13
The human race today has allowed itself to be like that mouse in the tubes. The multidimensional manipulators are very clever in their use of buzz words. They link them together to create an accepted meaning, which is often the opposite of the real situation. If you say something often enough, people will believe it. The word ‘freedom’ has been equated with ‘democracy’, and democracy is equated with the parliamentary systems of government in the ‘free world’.
We are programmed to see the three elements of freedom-democracy-parliament as the same thing. They are not. The ‘democratic’ systems are part of the smokescreen designed to fool us. If you know you live in an authoritarian regime which controls your thoughts and behaviour, the media, and the economic highs and lows, the desire for freedom in the human heart will eventually rebel against this. People are much easier to control and suppress if this is done while they go on thinking they are free. Such is the nature of our ‘democracy’.
The Conservatives have the ‘image’
of low
taxation and voting Conservative is, for many - depressingly many -
just another
part of their social status. Detached house, two cars, vote Tory. In
the poor and
deprived areas, many of which have been devastated by the
people-are-numbers
housing policies of Labour governments and councils, the majority
vote Labour
These rigid mindsets mean that constituencies which are mostly affluent return Conservative MPs, no matter how competent or otherwise the person with the blue rosette may be; and in the poor areas, the one with the red rosette, whoever he or she may be, will become the Member of Parliament.
Even if an MP with his or her own mind slips through the net, they will be told how to vote by their party or face sanctions against them, like a block on their advancement or, as in the case of the Conservative MPs opposed to further integration into the European Union, suspension from the party. This is democracy, Elite-style, because it was they who created the parliamentary structure after the power of the monarchies was curtailed or removed by the ‘people’s’ revolutions. If our new MP does as he or she is told, they may advance into government or even be Prime Minister. More than that, if they are clones of the Elite, the advancement can be very quick.
Sometimes it also goes to a candidate they know has no chance of winning because that makes sure that his opponent - the one they really want - will be the next occupant of the White House. Add to this the media coverage which supports one candidate and undermines the other, and you have a rigged election promoted as the democratic process. Once the candidate is elected, it is pay back time. They who pay the piper call the tune.
If we don’t accept that illusion, we start to ask questions about who does, therefore, control events. The media report the world as if politicians are at the top of the pyramid, when they are only the puppets, trigger-pullers, and mouthpieces for those who are really at the top. As a result, those who control our lives can stay in the shadows while those who only appear to be in power are constantly in the spotlight. The diversion is brilliantly orchestrated.
Figure 15
All political movements are controlled by the same force (Figure 15). If you have two main parties from which the government is chosen each time and they vote the same way on all the legislation that really matters, there is no ‘choice’ for the elector. This is the case with the Democratic and Republican Parties in America. The USA, this home of ‘freedom’ as the presidents are constantly telling us, is a One Party State. So is the United Kingdom.
There is no fundamental difference between the Labour and Conservative Parties. It is impossible to vote for a party in Britain which has any chance of forming a government that is not in favour of further centralization of power in Europe, with one currency and a central bank. I am sure you will find the same themes all over the world. When people point to other, smaller, parties, offering an apparent alternative, they are missing the point. If the parties who have any chance of winning agree on the fundamentals, elections become an irrelevance, a farce.
Dr Kitty Little, a researcher into the infiltration of British politics and intelligence agencies for more than 50 years, explained the technique in her booklet, Treason At Westminster:
When we look at the apparently ‘different’ political views, we are so often looking at a facade. A series of people wearing masks to hide their real intentions and opinions. Behind the mask are the Global Elite and the All-Seeing Eye, and it is this ‘democratic’ masquerade2 which acts as the smokescreen for the One Party States.
...on and on it goes.
Henry Kissinger’s presence was again at the heart of the Bush government with two members of his company, Kissinger Associates, taking leading roles. They were Brent Scowcroft, head of the Kissinger Associates Washington office, and Lawrence Eagleburger, the president of the company. Scowcroft was director of the national security council and Eagleburger, the undersecretary at the State Department. A founding board member of Kissinger Associates, Lord Carrington, was Secretary-General of NATO from 1984 to 1988.
Quite a line up for one company! Bush also promoted the Elite strategy of ‘saving’ the environment, just as Bill Clinton (CFR, TC, Bil) and Al Gore (CFR) would do. On the other side of the Atlantic, exactly in tandem, Margaret Thatcher (Bil), turned a mental somersault and began to proclaim the need to protect the environment after once calling environmental campaigners “the enemy within”. The word “drugs” is also a constant theme which links the Bush and Clinton presidencies. Drugs are a massive form of income for the Elite and a front-line weapon in the destabilization of society.
We shall look first at the Republican wing of the One Party State in the form of Mr George Bush.
When Bush was challenged about this after the invasion of Panama, he said he had never met Noriega, but then suddenly remembered the meeting. Noriega was involved in the drugs market and rigged elections, but the American government and the CIA knew that when they employed him. The 1984 Panama election was won by Arnulfo Arias, but Noriega took power with a mixture of extreme violence and fraud. President Ronald Reagan then dispatched Secretary of State George Shultz (CFR, TC, Bil, Comm 300), to give legitimacy to Noriega and even to declare that Panama’s democratic principles were a lesson to the Sandinista government in Nicaragua!
What Poindexter wanted was for Panama to invade Nicaragua with American support, Noriega said.3 At no point was Noriega’s alleged involvement in drugs mentioned. But the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) did contact him about drugs. They wrote to congratulate him on helping them to stop Panama being used as a drug and drug-money-laundering centre!4 Just one month later, the Reagan-Bush administration demanded that Noriega be removed on the grounds of drugs, corruption, and lack of democracy.
The need for ‘democracy’ in Panama is an insult. Again Noriega was certainly no saint, but the CIA have supported, and imposed, some of the most grotesque far Right dictatorships across the world to suit their own agenda, including the financing of terrorists to murder women and children by the thousands. It is not easy working out the motivations of the Drug Enforcement Administration, because within it are people committed to stopping the flow of drugs into America and others equally determined to increase it. A number of DEA and CIA operatives have described how some officials of the Drug Enforcement Administration are involved in expanding the availability of hard drugs in the United States.
Noriega’s former chief advisor, Jose Blandon, has claimed that the DEA has protected the biggest players in the drug empires and that DEA officials paid Noriega $4.7 million to keep quiet. In February 1988, Noriega was indicted on drugs charges, all but one of which related to activities before 1984, when he was on the CIA payroll! Economic sanctions against Panama followed - the economic warfare which Poindexter had promised. If Noriega had agreed to support the US war with Nicaragua, or hadn’t fallen out with Bush in some way, he would still be dictator of Panama instead of being in a US jail.
The money laundered through these sources came from the Colombian drug smuggling ring led by Augusto Falcon and Salvador Magluta, who were reported to be smuggling one ton of cocaine a month into Florida from the late 1970s until 1987.5 The new vice president of Panama installed by Bush was Ricardo Arias Calderon, whose brother was president of the First Internamericas Bank when it was controlled by the Cali drug cartel. Official figures show that drug trafficking and money laundering in Panama after Noriega has been greater than it was when he was there.
One of those captured by the invading US forces was the Mossad agent, Michael “Freddy” Harari, who, with other operatives like David Kimche, worked with the CIA on behalf of Mossad with the Medellin and Cali drug cartels. He was allowed to escape in an Israeli jet because, if he had been put on trial, the whole CIA-Mossad drug operation would have been blown.6 The War on Drugs George Bush became America’s ‘Mr War on Drugs’. Hard to believe when you see the company he kept and the operations he was involved in during Iran-Contra and the invasion of Panama. Bush is a global drug trafficker!
CIA operative, Trenton Parker, has told how the Colombian drug dealers each donated cocaine which was landed at Miami International Airport in March 1980 and left in a place where it would be found by customs officials.7 This is often done to give the illusion of success. On other occasions the small fry are targeted while the major players, with their links to the highest levels of world politics and intelligence, are allowed to ply their trade unmolested. Only rarely do genuine officials apprehend the big names. Even then it can be because they have outlived their usefulness to the manipulators. Parker also described how it was the CIA who called together the top Colombian drug dealers for two meetings in late 1981 under the Reagan-Bush administration to form a cartel to improve the shipment of drugs into the United States.
The first meeting, he said, took place at the Hotel International in Medellin, attended by about 200 drug dealers. The now infamous Medellin Cartel was officially created in December 1981.8 The CIA formed the Colombian drug cartels? Yes. But, then, what is amazing anymore? Nothing of substance that Bush promised in his various drug ‘campaigns’ was ever delivered and, more than that, the revelations of his links with drug dealers continue to mount, as they do with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. We have already seen the Shackley-Gregg-Rodriguez connections through the Iran-Contra arms-for-drugs scandal when more - not fewer - hard drugs were brought into the United States to further destabilize American society.
For fourteen years Bush was also a friend of Don Aronow, who (according to one published account9 and a number of other researchers) was connected with the Meyer Lansky crime syndicate, drug running and drug money laundering. Then there is the Zapata Oil Corporation, which was set up by George Bush. This company was a CIA front and that its subsidiary, Zapata Offshore, was implicated in drug smuggling while Bush was its top man. Michael Maholy, who worked for the State Department and the CIA for two decades, said that drugs were brought by sea to the Zapata Offshore rigs, unloaded, and then flown ashore in the helicopters, constantly carrying goods and personnel between the rigs and the American mainland.
He said he saw this happening and confirmed it through the cables that he handled. Maholy said the ships of a company called Pacific Seafood were used to ferry the drugs between countries.10 It is a big mental leap, I know, to appreciate that the world market in illegal hard drugs is controlled and supervised by Elite elements within organizations like the CIA and British Intelligence, which are supposed to be there to protect society from the consequences of hard drug addiction. But there it is. Nothing is ever what it seems. It has been accepted that the CIA experimented with LSD before it was promoted as the ‘freedom’ drug of the 1960s.
The Elite have been involved in the manipulation of society through drugs for a very long time. It goes back many centuries and reached a new peak with the Opium Wars against China in 1840 and 1858, when Chinese efforts to stop the flow of opium into their country were thwarted by the might of the British Empire. Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister, who was involved in both wars, was Lord Palmerston, the Grand Patriarch or Master of Grand Orient (Illuminati) Freemasonry and a member of the Committee of 300. The vehicle for this trade in opium from India to China and elsewhere was the East India Company, a group of Scottish merchants who were aligned with the Knights of St John of Jerusalem and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Some researchers believe that the company’s real masters were the banking families of northern Italy, the Black Nobility.11
The strategy used by the British in China has become a blueprint for invasion by-drug-addiction ever since. They sponsored a mass addiction to opium until Chinese society and vitality was torn asunder. The British government used a network of terrorism and organized crime, like the Triads, the Hong Society, and the Assassins, to carry out the trade on their behalf. When the Chinese rulers reacted to stop the supply, the British used their military and naval might to defeat them. And the ‘peace’ treaty after the conflict then gave the British a guaranteed right to increase the flow of opium; to be paid compensation for the opium the Chinese rulers had confiscated; and to have sovereignty over strategic ports and offshore islands. This is how Hong Kong came under British rule. It was used as the centre for Far East drug trafficking and that is still its role today.
In the book, The Opium Clippers, Basil Lubbock names the owners of the British vessels engaged in the opium trade as the East India Company; Jardine Matheson; Dent and Co; Pybus Bros; Russell and Co; Cama Bros; Duchess of Atholl; the Earl of Balcarras; King George IV, The Prince Regent; The Marquis of Camden; and Lady Melville. It was Lady Melville’s ancestor, George, who welcomed William of Orange to the throne and was made Lord Privy Seal. After the second opium war, which ended in 1860, the British merchant banks and trading companies established the Hong Kong and Shanghai Corporation as the central bank of the Far East drug industry. According to all research I have read about the drug network, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, with its global connections, continues to be a financial centre for the drug industry to this day.12
So was the Nugan Hand Bank (based in Sydney, Australia), another CIA/Mossad operation run by Francis Nugan and Michael Hand, a Green Beret and a colonel in the US Army assigned to the CIA. Hand was in frequent contact with George Bush after his election to vice president, according to CIA operative, Trenton Parker.13
Look at some principal officers of Nugan Hand:
Just the kind of people you would expect to be running a bank, eh? Well, at least they would be, if you wanted your bank manager to give you advice on running covert operations and training terrorists. A director of Nugan Hand, Donald Beazley, was chairman of City National Bank of Miami, which handled funds for the Anti-Defamation League.15
Michael Hand was found dead in his Mercedes Benz in the late 1970s on a remote road outside Sydney. He had ‘shot himself. It was a remarkable suicide in that he had pulled the trigger and then, before he died, he must have wiped all his fingerprints off the gun because none were found. An Australian government investigation revealed that millions of dollars in Nugan Hand records were unaccounted for and that it was serving as a money laundering operation for drug traffickers. These profits were being used by the CIA to finance gun smuggling, and illegal covert operations around the world.
There was also evidence that the CIA
was using the bank to pay for political campaigns against
politicians in many countries, including Australia, to ensure the
voters supported the CIA choice. Yes, this is still the ‘free’ world
we are talking about. Banks with household names across the world are vehicles for laundering drug money as it passes from account to account until its origins are lost in the web of transactions. The gold and diamond industries, dominated by the Rothschilds and the Oppenheimers through companies like DeBeers, are also used to wash drug money. The money buys gold or diamonds from those companies and then they are sold to produce ‘clean’ money. The network of interconnecting Anglo-American families in the Elite web of manipulation, who have been responsible for the engineering of conflict and economic depression through the generations, are also behind the world illegal drugs market.16
Some of the most famous names, merchant banks, and companies in the world are making a good slice of their fortunes directly or indirectly from the drug addiction of the young. We are entering the time when those people will have to face that responsibility publicly as part of their eternal evolution and the public are going to be astonished at some of those involved.
58,000 Americans and goodness knows how many Vietnamese were killed in that conflict and nothing sums up more powerfully the lack of respect this mindset has for human life than the way the CIA smuggled drugs into America in plastic bags hidden in the body cavities of the dead soldiers being returned home for burial from Vietnam. CIA operative, Gunthar Russbacher, has told how some bodies were gutted and filled with drugs for shipment back to the States.17 The bodies carried secret codes which allowed those carrying the drugs to be identified on arrival at West Coast airbases, particularly the Travis Air Force Base in California. The drugs were then removed and made available for the young people of America.
Heroin is a derivative of opium. Gritz became involved when he was told that the release of US prisoners of war (still being held after the conflicts in Laos) was being stopped by American government officials involved in drug trafficking. He found this to be correct. The government did not want the prisoners released because they knew about their officials’ involvement in the drug trade and might talk about it when they returned home. Kuhn Sa and his operatives in the Golden Triangle told Gritz about some of the Americans they had worked with in the past.
They named Theodore Shackley, whom George Bush appointed to a top job in the CIA and used as a ‘speech writer’. They also listed Richard Armitage, then a US Embassy official and later on the campaign staff of Ronald Reagan, who appointed him the assistant secretary of defense. No wonder there was so little interest in releasing US prisoners of war who could blow the whole thing. Armitage is reported to be a close friend and advisor to Colin Powell, the US Chief of Staff during the Gulf War, who was presented as a possible presidential candidate, standing as a self-styled “Rockefeller Republican”.18 The Elite are involved in drugs for three main reasons. First to make unthinkable amounts of money - billions per year - to finance covert operations against elected governments and society in general.
Drug profits produce money which does not need to be channelled from government sources where it could be traced. Secondly, the ‘problem’ of drugs has produced (understandably) such a reaction of “something must be done” that people are agreeing to the erosion of rights and freedoms in a way that they never would unless there was a ‘solution’ required to ‘stop’ the supply of drugs and its terrible effect on the structure of society. It also provides the US (Global Elite) with an excuse to intervene in the affairs of other countries. Thirdly, we have the opium-to-China syndrome. If you want to divide and rule and stop people manifesting their full potential, what better way of doing it than to get a significant section of the young generation (and many others besides) hooked on hard drugs?
What the British provably did to the Chinese is what the Elite is seeking to do to the young people of the world, to sap their natural vitality, their sense of worth, and the knowledge of their infinite potential to achieve anything they wish to achieve. The war on drugs is another phoney war. As Bo Gritz put it:
And Michael Levine, a former agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said that the war on drugs was the:
And who have been the two frontmen for every “war on drugs” since the Nixon administration? George Bush and Bill Clinton. We’ll hear more of Clinton’s drug activities shortly.
Conflict in the Middle East, which raises the price of oil and causes turmoil and hostility within the Arab world, is good for oilmen and good for divide and rule. If you can arrange such conflict to involve a group of countries fighting under the United Nations flag, you are accelerating the move to a world army under central global control - one of the fundamental aims of the New World Order. The Gulf War did all of these things. If Saddam Hussein, a close friend of Bush for many years, was not in on the plot, then he was brilliantly set up. In July 1990 Bush attended the NATO Summit at Lancaster House in London, chaired by the NATO Secretary General, Manfred Worner, who (like his predecessor, Lord Carrington) was a Bilderberger.
Some researchers established that the possibility of a new Middle East War was discussed and so was the deployment of NATO forces outside their designated region, the so-called “out-of-area” deployment. From this Summit came the London Declaration which called for closer cooperation between NATO and the countries of the former Soviet Union. This has since evolved, as was always intended, into the policy of absorbing those countries into NATO as part of the world army strategy. The Elite is obviously anxious to make sure this absorption policy is adopted, because once NATO begins to expand and operate outside Europe and the North Atlantic, it gets ever closer to being a world army.
The idea is to extend NATO’s area of operations by inviting more countries to join and to engineer events using the problem-reaction-solution strategy which lead to a fusion of NATO and the UN ‘peacekeeping’ forces and the formation of the world army. This is the background from which the Gulf War needs to be viewed.
But it was good for the oil companies, the banks, the armament companies, and divide and rule. The British government armed both sides in this conflict and some (but only some) of this scandal has surfaced through the Scott Inquiry into illegal arms sales to Iraq. I wonder if this inquiry has heard of a company called Midland Industrial Trade Services, which is claimed to be the Midland Bank’s secret arms operation. This is based, I am told, behind the facade of an ‘ordinary’ branch of the Midland in Victoria Street, Westminster, London SW1H ONJ. I wonder also if the Scott Inquiry has heard any allegations that Midland Industrial Trade Services were introduced to the Iraqis by Kissinger Associates? I’m sure there is nothing whatsoever in these rumours from very well informed sources. The Midland Bank, that pillar of respectability, involved in secret arms sales? The very thought is ridiculous. Isn’t it?
George C. Andrews reports in his book, Extra-Terrestrial Friends And Foes:
To readers of this book, the answers to those questions will be obvious. The ‘blind trust’, by the way, is the farce which insists that presidents must hand over all their business dealings to a trust during their term in office, which is supposed to make sure that they can’t make political decisions which affect their own investments and companies. Do you believe it works like that? No, nor me. Bush’s ‘blind trust’ was controlled by William Farish III, his close friend and grandson of William Farish, the President of Standard Oil of New Jersey when they were working with I.G. Farben and supplying Adolf Hitler. I will come to Bush’s business links with Saddam shortly.
Russbacher was one of the pilots of four CIA SR-71s which flew to Moscow on July 26th from the Crows Landing Naval Air Station in California, refuelling twice on the way. On board were Scowcroft and Webster. Russbacher, who spoke Russian, met with Gorbachev who signed the agreement.23 While all this was going on, Bush still had nothing to say in public about the troops’ buildup along the Kuwaiti border. By July 31st perhaps 100,000 troops were involved. Still Bush was silent. Two days before the invasion, John Kelly (CFR), an assistant secretary of state, was asked by a congressional hearing if the US would defend Kuwait in the event of an attack. He replied: “We have no defense treaty with any Gulf country”.24
On August 2nd, Saddam invaded Kuwait. That same day, and again on August 6th, Bush met with Margaret Thatcher at Aspen, Colorado, and at the White House. The British prime minister was, as usual, highly belligerent about the need to teach Saddam a lesson. Henry Kissinger was behind the scenes, too, in the form of Brent Scowcroft, the national security advisor, a long-time Kissinger aide back to the days of the Nixon presidency, and an executive of Kissinger Associates. Scowcroft was urging military intervention.
The Bush tone began to change. The Saudi Arabians were told by the Americans that Saddam was likely to invade their country next - utter nonsense - and Bush ordered US troops to assemble along the ‘threatened’ Saudi border. There would be no intervention, the world was told. The US forces were only there to protect Saudi Arabia, Bush said. Economic sanctions were to be the weapon used against Saddam. The Saudi Arabians, Germans, and Japanese would be badgered into contributing large sums towards American costs. But sanctions were never going to be the real weapon. The rhetoric became ever stronger.
Bush labelled Saddam “the new Hitler” and he said that the Second World War had shown that appeasement of such people was not the answer. He might have added that it also was not the answer to fund both sides at the same time and to help finance Hitler’s war machine, as his father had done. For those who knew the game plan, it was easy to see what was happening.
On August 23rd, Kissinger’s man, Brent Scowcroft, said it all:
The term, the New World Order, would now be used by Bush and enter into political-speak around the world to the point of tedium.
Bush (Comm 300) received enthusiastic support from Margaret Thatcher and the Freemason President of France, Francois Mitterrand (Comm 300), who both sent forces to the Gulf to support the Americans. They presented themselves as a United Nations force. In effect, a world army. Bush said in a speech to Congress on September 11th:
For ‘fifth’ read ‘first’. On November 8th, Bush announced that the forces in Saudi Arabia would be substantially increased. The ‘defensive’ force was now to switch to offensive mode. A week later Bush left on a tour of Europe and the Middle East gathering support for the invasion. He met for three hours with President Assad of Syria, a tool of the Elite, who pledged to increase his contribution to Bush’s forces to 20,000 men. The Bush ‘UN’ forces attacked on Wednesday, January 16th.
120,000 air sorties were unleashed on Iraq, mostly, it turned out, against civilian areas. The operation was headed by Bush’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, who has ancestral links with many old American and British families. Every allied supreme commander and US secretary of defense since the Second World War has been a member of the CFR.
The number of dead and injured from the bombing of Iraq, the resulting disease, and the continuing economic sanctions can hardly be comprehended. Conditions for the innocent civilians in Iraq are terrible under the economic stranglehold, but the West looks on. So this is the United Nations in all its glory, this is the bastion of jaw, jaw, not war, war. This is the promoter of peace. This is the New World Order. The future president, Bill Clinton, supported the Gulf War and the United Nations policy.
There is another stunner in all this, too. The United States government funded Saddam Hussein to fight the war against the United States and UN forces! It was done through a branch of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) in Atlanta. Congressman Henry Gonzalez exposed the BNL scandal in 1991 after he noticed that this little branch of the Italian government bank had loaned Iraq $5 billion. This came after November 1989 when the White House guaranteed bank loans to Iraq if they were used for the purchase of US farm products.
If Saddam defaulted, the US taxpayers picked up the tab for the loan and since he was always defaulting, that was obviously going to be the outcome from the start. Instead of buying food, Saddam spent the money on arms, including purchases from the Matrix Churchill machine tool company in England (which was the subject of a court case in which the British government was implicated, and this led to the Scott Inquiry). Although many US investigators warned Bush that the money was being used for arms, the loans were allowed to continue.
The whole thing was blamed on the bank manager at the BNL’s Atlanta branch, Christopher P. Drogoul, who could never have sanctioned that sort of money without the highest authorization. US District Judge, Marvin Schoob, said the claim that the Atlanta branch could loan $5 billion without the approval of the head office in Rome could only come out of “never, never land.”
This is the last thing the Bush administration and the Global Elite wanted to hear. Judge Schoob was removed from the case and replaced by Judge Ernest Tidwell, who refused to allow any evidence to be presented about the CIA or Bush White House involvement in the bank. Drogoul was persuaded by his attorney, against his better judgment, to plead guilty. The funding of the Iraqi arms build up before the Gulf War and its prosecution by the UN was a calculated plan to trigger the conflict, and it involved the Bush administration, the British government of John Major, the Italian government, the Soviet Union, and the other leading governments controlled by the Global Elite.
It also involved a familiar name: Henry Kissinger. As early as 1984, Kissinger Associates were arranging loans from the BNL to Iraq to finance its arms purchases from a little known subsidiary of Fiat, the Italian car makers (headed by leading Bilderberger, Giovanni Agnelli). Charles Barletta, a former Justice Department investigator, was quoted about this in the Spotlight newspaper of November 9th 1992. The report said:
Hear, hear.
Money to fund covert operations, terrorist groups like Abu Nidal, coups throughout the world, and the financing of Iran-Contra and Saddam Hussein, was also channelled through the BCCI. Money could be transferred between apparent enemies through this network, as with Saudi Arabian money which found its way to Mossad. In this case, Saudi and other Gulf money was laundered through the BCCI and transferred to CenTrust in Miami, which was later seized by federal investigators. The BCCI owned 28% of CenTrust. Allegations emerged that Robert Gates, the man Bush had nominated as his Director of the CIA, had obstructed an investigation into drug money laundering by the BCCI.
Gates withdrew his nomination to be CIA Director, as he had once before, when implicated in Iran-Contra. The BCCI crashed amid a worldwide scandal in 1991. It was the world’s biggest banking collapse and cost investors billions of dollars. Three years before the crash, Robert Gates was describing the BCCI as the Bank of Crooks and Criminals.29 The BCCI began to operate in Pakistan in 1972 with most of its funding provided by the Bank of America and the CIA. Bank of America also loaned money to people to buy stock in BCCI, probably to hide the scale of its control, and the B of A knew all about money laundering. In 1986, it was fined $7 million for 17,000 acts of washing dirty money. Some researchers say that the Bank of America is owned by the Rothschilds.
At the hub of Rothschild involvement in the BCCI was Dr Alfred Hartmann who, at the same time, was the managing director of the Swiss branch of the BCCI; the head of the Zurich Rothschild Bank A.G.; a board member of N.M. Rothschild in London; and a director of.. .Italy’s BNL.30 The involvement of the Rothschilds at the heart of the BCCI was never mentioned or investigated by the lap dog media, nor the alleged involvement of the Rothschild ‘gofer’, and currency speculator, George Soros (Bil).31 George Bush and Bill Clinton both had considerable connections with the BCCI, among them one Jackson Stephens, owner of Stephens Incorporated, a big investment bank based in Little Rock, Arkansas, the home of Bill Clinton. Stephens was one of the founders of the BCCI. He had connections with a company called Harken Energy and arranged a loan for them from a Swiss Bank affiliated with the BCCI.
This would have greatly pleased George Bush Junior, the president’s son, who sat on the Harken board. Another son, Jeb Bush, also had numerous dealings with the BCCI. He was often seen in the bank’s Miami office32 and George Bush’s deputy campaign manager, James Lake, worked for a major owner of the BCCI at the same time. When Bush’s ‘opponent’, Bill Clinton, ran for president, his main financial backer was Jackson Stephens who made the donations via his Worthen National Bank which was connected to the BCCI. Stephens was implicated in deals in which the BCCI secretly and illegally took over the First American Bank of Washington and others.
This was the man who funded the president. George Bush’s involvement with the BCCI was considerable, according to the Chicago journalist, Sherman Skolnick, who made a detailed study of the bank. He has claimed publicly, including an interview on Radio Free America, that Bush, Saddam Hussein and others, used the BCCI to split $250 billion in oil “kick backs”, the skimming off of money paid by western oil companies in the Gulf. He claims the records implicating Bush in deals with Saddam and Manuel Noriega were in the hands of the Bank of England and that the money was channelled through the BCCI and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL), branches in the USA.
Henry Gonzalez, the chairman of the House Banking Committee, identified links between the BCCI and BNL. Skolnick told interviewer, Tom Valentine, on Radio Free America:
Jimmy Carter personally dedicated a number of BCCI branches and they made an $8.5 million donation to one of his favourite charities. Carter’s foreign travel after he left the White House was paid for by the BCCI and his banker friend, Bert Lance, was bailed out of big financial difficulties by a man called Ghaith Pharaon, a front man for the BCCI.34 This would fit with a contact’s suggestion that the man behind the BCCI was an Arab, Gaph Feherton, a major funder of Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign.
Andrew Young, Carter’s former United Nations ambassador and a fellow Trilateralist, had a loan of $160,000 written off by the BCCI and he was paid to promote the bank to individuals and governments in Africa and Central America.35 The Republican senator for Utah, Orrin Hatch, was making stirring speeches in support of BCCI even while it was being indicted for drug money laundering. The Democrat Clark Clifford and his law partner Robert Altaian, the BCCI’s lawyers, were at the centre of the story, also.
Price Waterhouse, the BCCI’s auditors for nearly 20 years, were giving the bank a largely clean bill of health while all the corruption was going on. Skolnick said records detailing the alleged Bush-Saddam deals were held in the Chicago branch of the BCCI, which was seized by the Reagan-Bush Administration in 1988 (along with other BCCI assets in the United States).
Skolnick went on:
If you placed end to end all the questions that George Bush needs to answer, but won’t, they would stretch from Washington to Baghdad. Via Panama City. An official investigation was ordered to expose the BCCI scandal. It was chaired by Democrat senator, John Kerry, of Massachusets. It exposed nothing. Senator Kerry was chairman of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, which received large contributions from the BCCI. Senator Kerry is also a member of the Skull and Bones Society, as is George Bush. The corruption across American politics, media, and business, is staggering and so it is in the United Kingdom wing of the Global Elite operation, where the BCCI had its main base.
This agreement allowed important records and witnesses to leave Britain. How convenient. In his review of Dirty Money, a book about the BCCI, the journalist Robert Sherrill said:
On that note we will take our leave of George Bush and welcome Mr Bill Clinton. He defeated Bush, with support from the Washington Post among many others, and on January 20th 1993 he officially became the 42nd president of the United States. George Bush (CFR, TC, Skull and Bones Society, 33rd degree Freemason, and Republican), was replaced in the White House by Bill Clinton (CFR, TC, Bilderberger, Rhodes Scholar, 33rd degree Freemason, and Democrat).
The names changed, the controllers did not. The One Party State rolled on.
That is exactly what he did. His desire for high office was no doubt fired when he shook hands with John Kennedy as a boy. He was another product of the Global Elite production line of presidents: easily manipulated, knows how to do as he’s told, and with a mountain of unpleasant information about him waiting to be revealed if he steps out of line. “We’ll give them a Democrat president this time, just to let them think they still have a choice”, you can almost hear the manipulators say. David Rockefeller, the Kingmaker of America, had met with Clinton in the mid-1980s at Winrock, the farm built by Winthrop Rockefeller, a former governor of Arkansas.39
The state of Arkansas is an Elite centre. The southern wing of the Scottish Rite of US Freemasonry is based there and it was from this organization that the Ku Klux Klan emerged. The Klan’s emblem is the Maltese Cross, the same as the Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta and the Knights of the Golden Circle, which played a major role in the Rothschild manipulation of the American Civil War. The Ku Klux Klan is the old Knights of the Golden Circle under another name, controlled by the same force. It is said to be funded today by Mossad.40 According to the German magazine Neue Solidaritat, the guru and foster-father of Bill Clinton was Parson Wo Vaught, a 32nd degree initiate in the Scottish Rite.41
If you think the background to George Bush is amazing, well old Bill has a few surprises in store, also. Indeed, these ‘opponents’ have so much in common. He progressed politically and became governor of Arkansas, the position he held when he was summoned by David Rockefeller to the Bilderberg Group meeting in Baden Baden, Germany, in 1991. The invitation came after the controllers had decided that he would be the next president of the United States. Bill Clinton, according to the American Freedom Network, is a member of many secret societies, including an Illuminated Freemasonry order which claims allegiance to the martyred Knights Templar leader, Jacques de Molay.
In Arkansas, Clinton sat at the head of a complex network of drug running, money laundering, and general corruption. His biggest financial backer when he ran for president was, as we’ve discussed, Jackson Stephens, one of the founders of the BCCI. The Citizens for Honest Government organization produced an investigative video into Bill Clinton’s background in 1994 and they interviewed a former friend of Clinton in the Arkansas days, Larry Nichols. It would appear that Clinton misjudged Nichols. He thought he could be trusted to keep quiet and take the perks. Clinton gave him the job of Marketing Director of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA).
It was a State-run operation created by Clinton to, he said publicly, invest tax money in low interest bond loans to local businesses, colleges, schools, and churches. It would stimulate jobs, he said. When Larry Nichols took up his post, he saw the truth. Nichols said:
Nichols established that Bill Clinton’s Arkansas Development Finance Authority was laundering drug money! ADFA was a front for giving loans to his business friends, who would then fund his election expenses, while at the same time it was also used to launder drug profits. Nichols went on:
At the centre of this operation was Clinton’s closest friend, Dan Lasater, who would be jailed with the president’s brother, Roger Clinton, for cocaine offences. Doc Delaughter, the police investigator in charge of the Lasater case, said he gathered detailed statements from people connected with Clinton’s friend and his use of drugs to get young girls hooked and under his control for sexual favours.
The policeman revealed how he suffered harassment from his own police department during his investigation and, he said, he knew that was because of the connection between the state police and Governor Clinton’s office. Lasater spent less than a year in a minimum security prison for his drug offences and when he was released, Bill Clinton granted him a full pardon. Legislation enacted by Governor Clinton helped Tyson Foods to become the biggest company in the state. The owner, Don Tyson, was given $10 million by ADFA and never paid a cent of it back. He did, however, put $700,000 into Clinton’s election campaign.
Doc Delaughter said he had enough evidence on Tyson to launch an investigation into a possible drug distribution racket. The interconnected corruption was astonishing.
Nichols said that when reporters made inquiries about the Park-O-Meter loans, they found that instead of making parking meters, Park-O-Meter was actually building retrofit nose cone compartments that were being shipped to Mena. The nose cones were being used to smuggle drugs back into the country and onto the streets of America!
Nichols went on:
Webster “Webb” Hubbell was named acting US attorney general by Bill Clinton when he was elected to the White House! Hubbell was soon back in Arkansas, however, to plead guilty to charges of defrauding clients at Hillary Clinton’s Rose Law Firm of an estimated half a million dollars.
This was the man who was responsible for the Ethics in Government Act, which required Arkansas legislators to report conflicts of interest. Astonishingly, this act specifically exempted governor Bill Clinton, his appointees, and relatives. Go on, pinch yourself. You’re not dreaming this. Before Hubbell left Washington he was responsible for finding a permanent attorney general for Bill Clinton. This was Janet Reno, who became head of the hilariously named US ‘Justice’ Department (which decides who, when, where, and whether, to prosecute).
Webb Hubbell is not the only government appointed crook that Janet Reno has come into contact with in her career. She had been District Attorney for Dade County, including downtown Miami, which was exposed as perhaps the most corrupt judicial system in the country. Reno’s lack of action in the face of the evidence, led to an FBI undercover investigation which, in 1990, resulted in nearly half the judges in Miami being indicted on extortion charges.
The decisions and judgments during Janet Reno’s term at the Justice Department have served perfectly the aims of the New World Order, including the genocide at Waco (of which more later) and the suppression of information about drug running operations (including those out of Mexico, involving the leaders of the Mexican government). Researchers believe that Reno is a front for Webster Hubbell to be the real attorney general.
Welch added that the planes had special, and illegal, cargo doors which could be opened in flight to drop the drugs and money at other sites in Arkansas.
One of the main operatives was Barry Seal and another was Terry Reed, a former combat pilot in Laos, who moved to Little Rock in 1983 and set up a training base for Contra terrorism at Nella Ark, eleven miles north of Mena. Reed said at his own trial in 1989 for fraud charges that at least one of the early meetings to plan the Nella Ark centre was attended by Bill Clinton’s brother, Roger, and he said other meetings were attended by Clinton’s close associate and drug runner, Dan Lasater. Yet again we see the One Party State in action. While the Republican Reagan-Bush presidency was involved in Iran-Contra, the ‘opposition’ in the form of Democrat governor, Bill Clinton, was covertly supporting it in Arkansas.
Then suddenly, it was pulled and the Post’s managing editor, Robert Kaiser (CFR), said it was a “non-existent story” and a “reprise of rumours and allegations”. Sure it was. The owner of the Washington Post is the Bilderberger, Trilateralist, and member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Katherine Graham. The authors of the article were Doctor Roger Morris, formerly of the National Security Council under Johnson and Nixon, and Sally Denton, the former head of the Special Investigations Unit at the news agency, UPI. Both have long records of this type of investigation.
Their expose was compiled from detailed research which included access to Barry Seal’s bank and telephone records, invoices, appointment books, handwritten notes, personal diaries, and recorded conversations, plus police records and surveillance reports. The article said that Seal was flying planes out of Mena to export weapons to Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, and the Contras in Nicaragua, and they returned full of cocaine for sale in New York, Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, and other cities. Morris and Denton say that Seal had such close ties with the CIA that he believed he could smuggle what he wanted, whenever he wanted, and they point out that nine separate attempts by state and federal authorities to stop him were blocked. All this took place, incidentally, during the Reagan-Bush “War on Drugs”.
The article withdrawn by the Washington Post had said: “Over the entire episode looms the unmistakable dark shape of US government complicity in vast drug trafficking and gun running”. And it asked the questions that the mainstream media have failed to ask:
The involvement in drug trafficking of Bill Clinton, George Bush, and the CIA was also revealed by businessman Terry Reed and his co-author, John Cummings, in their 1994 book, Compromised: Clinton, Bush, And The CM.46 Reed was a former US Airforce Intelligence Officer who became a successful businessman. He was recruited by the CIA to set up a CIA front company in Mexico selling high technology and consultancy.
When Reed realized it was being used to ship drugs, he tried to get out of the operation and to return to Arkansas, then governed by Clinton. As usual, Clinton and the CIA sought to silence and discredit Reed by accusing him of what they were doing. He was charged by Clinton and the Arkansas authorities with drug running! Reed also reveals in his book how Time magazine and other publications and newspapers were involved in disinformation and cover-ups to keep the truth about drugs from the public. Barry Seal was not convicted for his drug crimes. Instead he was murdered. This happened as he was beginning to speak openly about what he knew. He told how he was ordered by the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration to photograph Sandinista officials in Nicaragua loading drugs onto a plane for shipment to the United States.
This photograph was used by President Reagan in a televised speech in March 1986 as propaganda against the Nicaraguan regime. This led to Congress voting another $100 million in aid to the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua who were running drugs in league with the CIA. This drug running operation was done with the knowledge of the then Vice President Bush. Seal later admitted to reporters that the Sandinistas in his photograph were not loading drugs at all. He also spoke of the Contra drug smuggling network and its connection with the Colombian cartels.
Soon after this, in February 1987, Seal was dead. This period was littered with murders and suspicious deaths in Arkansas. On August 23rd 1987, two boys, Kevin Ives and his friend Don Henry, were out walking in the early hours in the area of the Mena airstrip. Later they were found dead on a railway line. The State Medical Examiner, Fahmy Malak, a man appointed by Bill Clinton, ruled that the deaths were an accident. The parents disagreed and asked for a second opinion, a request that was met with resistance from the authorities on all fronts.
They won a court order requesting samples for the second opinion of everything the crime laboratory had, but Malak still refused to hand them over. Eventually other opinion showed that Don Henry had been stabbed in the back and Kevin Ive’s skull had been crushed before they were placed on the railway line. Malak still said it was an accident. The boys had both fallen asleep on the tracks, he said. It’s just the place you would choose to go to sleep, isn’t it? Six people who talked to the police about the boys’ murders were themselves killed. Keith McKaskie knew what was planned for him. He said goodbye to his family and friends in 1988 and days later he was murdered.
The following year, Jeff Rhodes, a young guy from Benton, Arkansas, rang his father to say he had to get out of town because he knew too much about the deaths of the boys and McKaskie. Two weeks later Rhodes was found shot dead. Keith Coney was fleeing for his life on his motorcycle when he collided with a truck; Gregory Collins was shot; Richard Winters and Jordan Ketelson were both killed by shotgun blasts. The head of the Saline County Drug Task Force who had uncovered evidence of the Arkansas Police Department’s involvement with drug smuggling and the cover-up of the boys’ murder, was forced into hiding. This was all going on while President Clinton was governor for Arkansas.
Ed Willey, the manager of Clinton’s campaign finance committee, was killed with gunshot wounds. Verdict: “Suicide”. John Wilson, a city councillor in Washington who was reported to be planning to expose Clinton’s dirty tricks, was found hanged in 1993. Verdict: “Suicide”. Kathy Ferguson, the wife of Danny, an Arkansas police patrolman and Clinton bodyguard, talked about a number of sexual incidents involving Clinton, and she said her husband had taken Paula Jones to Clinton’s hotel room where he, allegedly, dropped his trousers and propositioned her. Kathy Ferguson was found dead with a gun in her hand. Verdict: “Suicide”. Husband Danny then denied Clinton’s connection with Paula Jones.
Danny is still alive. Paula Jones says Kathy was telling the truth. Jon Parnell Walker, a senior investigator for the Resolution Trust Corporation, was pressing for an investigation into the collapsed Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan company, linked to Clinton under the heading the “Whitewater Affair”. He fell from the balcony of a new apartment in Arlington, Virginia. Verdict: “Suicide”. C. Victor Raider II was cochairman of Clinton’s presidential campaign, but they fell out. Raider and his son, Montgomery, died when their small plane crashed.
Herschel Friday was a member of Raider’s committee and an expert pilot. He died when his plane exploded. Dentist Ronald Rogers was on his way to talk to a journalist about Clinton when his plane crashed in clear weather. Luther “Jerry” Parks from Little Rock had compiled a study of Clinton’s sexual activities. Clinton owed him $81,000 for providing guards during the presidential campaign and his wife said he had threatened to reveal the information he had unless he was paid. Parks was shot dead on September 26th 1993.
Park’s son, Gary Parks, said his father had names, dates, places - everything about Clinton’s liaisons. He said he also had details of Clinton’s drug taking and that of his brother, Roger. Shortly before his father’s murder, the phone lines at his home were cut, the security system turned off, and the files on Clinton were stolen. In Arkansas, no autopsy need be performed on anyone ruled to have committed suicide, even if the evidence points to murder. This law was introduced by Bill Clinton in one of his last acts as governor. The death most publicized in connection with Bill Clinton is that of his lifelong friend, Vincent Foster, a lawyer at Hillary Clinton’s company, the Rose Law Firm.
His death by ‘suicide’ came during investigations into the financial scandal known as the Whitewater Affair. The Clintons said their investment in the Madison Savings and Loans company was a loss-maker. Others say it was a scam to skim off federal money. What is beyond question is that it cost the taxpayers $60 million. Robert Fiske was named as special prosecutor to lead the ‘investigation’ into Whitewater and that same week, the Rose Law Firm began to shred documents. One of the shredders, Jeremy Hedges, said:
A demonstration was held outside the Rose offices when people heard what was going on. Again in that same week, there was a fire at the Worthen Bank Building owned by Jackson Stephens, one of the founders of BCCI, and Clinton’s main financial backer. Stephen’s bank advanced the Clinton presidential campaign $2.8 million. Less than two years earlier, the bank had earned a profit on a transaction involving student loans controlled by Bill Clinton. The size of the profit? $2.8 million.48 Clinton channelled ADFA funds through the Worthen Bank after 1988. The fire there destroyed documents related to the Whitewater investigation.
