Why is the Federal Government destroying National Security ?

author: researcher
Sep 19, 2005 22:14

Federal officials are more responsive to foreign interests than to American citizens !

The President believes in unprotected borders. The Congress aids foreign governments. The Supreme Court evicts private citizens from their property to enrich foreign private profiteers. WHY?


Our generosity of giving national foreign aid to
foreign countries is screwing our own national security.
Congress depends on political contrbution$ to get elected. Since Americans are paying such high taxes they can't contribute. So Lobbies have funded and Congress has responded by passing favorable laws for lobbies, even foreign countries goals at the expense of destroying America's security.See:  http://www.wrmea.com/archives/July_Aug_2004/0407027.html

House: Current Cycle
Hoyer, Steny (D-MD) $37,500
Ros-Lehtinen, Ileana (R-FL) 36,000
Berkley, Shelley (D-NV) 35,100
Lantos, Tom (D-CA) 31,600
Frost, Martin (D-TX) 31,300
for example.

Likewise the Supreme Court Justices are wined and dined by members of these powerful lobbies. They too are being duped by rich financial manipulators.

The executive branch has allowed foreign countries to compromise our communications centers. See Notes below:

Even Congress rejected today an inquiry into the Katrina fiasco, just like they welcomed the 911 commission findings, and just like they gleefully accepted the Warren Commission report. The Kennedy assination records along with Dr. King's assination won't be opened until most of them are dead.
America's elite is motivated by greed. See article
seattle.indymedia.org/en/2005/08/247435.shtml
Who has the elite allied itself with, and read through the comments for specific proof.

Now, with the elite's criminal bankers, in the Federal Reserve system, supported and endorsed by Rockefeller's monopolies, they have Americans dangling from ropes. How these private banks that make up the Federal Reserve system print money, (paying only for the cost of the printing, and lend it out at high interest, to the federal government and individuals. Hence the drive up the national debt. Americans are forced to pay about 1/3 their salaries to federal, state and local taxes. They barely have enough money to live. So they take advantage of credit cards. Very few Americans can contribute to political campaigns. Congress gets most of their campaign monies from lobbies. The Israeli lobby is very powerful, since their funded by US foreign aid. Other powerful lobbies, corporations, and other foreign countries, ie China, give substantial money to Congressmen, and they're voting into reality, these foreign interests.

On October 17, Congress has approved for the bankers to double your minimum payments on your credit cards. If your paying 300 a month now on credit cards, after October 17 you'll be paying 600 a month, and if you don't you'll be assesed charges for not making the minimum payments, and your credit ratings will drop.

This is bound to burst the housing bubble, since so many Americans are just making ends meet, and will lead to foreclosures for some, and an increase in the already high unemployment rate, thanls to Congressional approval of CAFTA and NAFTA and other goals of the greedy elite.

There may even be a depression around the corner with the increased energy costs.

The Federal government wants your sons and daughters to fight Israel's wars of expansion. Just today, Sharon said he wants more settlement in the West Bank.
Until people realize this situation and read up on Assassinations of Kennedy, King and others, you will not see how this came about in the land of the free and the home of the brave.After Kennedy's death by the CIA, the CIA got into dealing drugs to pay for their covert operations and noiw this is big business.Oil and drugs, led by the Rockefellers, and the Bushes.

Our own government was responsible for Oklahoma, 911, and the war in Iraq(), and Iran is on their front burner.

President Bush is too busy appointing people who cover up his lies, to appoint competent people to head National Security.From Wilkpedia:

Most recently Chertoff has managed the FEMA response to Hurricane Katrina. On the third of September, several days after the initial strike of the hurricane many (including the New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagin) indicated severe dissatisfaction with the response from Washington, citing the delay between the general knowledge of the storm's likely impact and any effective federal response. Lousiana's Governor Blanco declared a state a state of emergency on August 26 [1]; a week later, New Orleans remained in a state of chaos.

Chertoff himself appeared misinformed about the situation, presumably because of the LA governor, even calling the situation at the Convention Center "rumors" after it had been in the news most of the day. NO BODY IN HOMELAND SECURITY WAS WATCHING LIVE BROADCASTS OF NEWS on CNN THAT DAY? THIS IS UNBELEVABLE!While defending the federal government's response in a September 3, 2005 press conference, Chertoff asserted that no one had ever predicted a disaster of this magnitude; however, warnings had in fact come for years from experts in the private sector as well as government agencies at all levels, including FEMA itself, who had identified a disaster such as this as one of the three most likely catastrophes to strike the US. CNN: [2] Houston Chronicle: [3]. Critics (both in the media and political body) of Chertoff's actions say the response to the disaster was inadequate in terms of leadership and promptness. To illustrate a typical view of those critical of the department, New Hampshire State Representative Peter Sullivan said, "Director Brown and Secretary Chertoff have given incompetence a bad name. Their planning was nonexistent. Their response to the crisis was lethargic. Their attempt to shirk responsibility is revolting. At a time when our country needs forthright leaders, this administration [has given] us two men more concerned with partisan spin than with human suffering. Brown and Chertoff failed America, and they must be fired immediately."

Chertoff defended Islamic terrorists and deported the Israeli Mossad who were caught after 911. (Over two hundred Mossad agents found in America after 911 were deported with his help. Are they all back now, with his help? It is
reported today on waynemadsenreport.com Dominick Sutter, the owner of the Urban moving Systems, head of the dancing Israeli mossad, who gleefully celebrated and videotaped the WTC burnings, to be back in FLORIDA,(see Notes below), the staging center for the coming Chinese invasion of biological warfare, and along our southern UNPROTECTED BORDER> See China's Defence Minister's speech!  http://www.halturnershow.com/ChineseDefenseMinisterTalksWarAgainstUS.html
EXcerpts:
Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio weapons have been invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.
......................
We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios. If our biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack [on the United States, the Chinese people will be able to keep their losses at a minimum in the fight against the United States
........................................................It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the world

NOTES:
From waynemadsenreport.orgSeptember 14, 2005 -- Is Urban Moving Systems chief back in US? There are indications that Israeli national Dominik Suter, the former head of Urban Moving Systems in Weehawken, NJ is back in the United States, this time in south Florida and may be using his actual name. An informed source claims that Suter is working for an aviation-related firm in south Florida.

Suter ran the Weehawken, NJ-based moving company on 9-11 when a number of Urban Moving Systems vans were spotted around north Jersey before and after the hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center. One Urban Moving van was seen at Liberty State Park in Jersey City as the first plane hit the towers. The five occupants, all Israeli nationals, were seen videotaping and celebrating the attack and were dressed in Arab clothing. The five were later arrested near Giant Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. One of the Israelis told police they were at Liberty State Park to "document the event."



Mysterious 911 moving van operator reportedly back in the US

After the Israelis were detained for several months in Brooklyn as terrorist suspects, they were quickly deported to Israel. After the FBI questioned Suter on September 11, he fled the United States on September 14, 2001. The FBI was due to question Suter again before he fled the country. Later, Federal law enforcement agents discovered pipes, caps, explosive chemical materials, and traces of anthrax at the Weehawken warehouse. Suter's name and those of some of his moving employees turned up in a CIA database of foreign intelligence agents. Suter's name also appeared on an FBI 9-11 terrorism suspect list. Suter's year of birth is listed as 1970 with a social security number of 129-78-0926. His addresses before 9-11 are listed as 28 Harlow Crescent Rd., Fairlawn, NJ 07410; 312 Pavonia Ave., Jersey City, NJ 07302; and 15000 Dickens, Suite 11, Sherman Oaks CA. If Suter has been permitted to re-enter the United States, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security and its chief Michael Chertoff have a lot of explaining to do.

Venezuelan President says US planning invasion
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he has documentary evidence that the United States plans to invade his country.

Chavez, interviewed Friday on ABC television's "Nightline," said the plan is called "Balboa" and involves aircraft carriers and planes. A transcript of the interview was made available by "Nightline."

He said US soldiers recently went to Curacao, an island off Venezuela's northwest coast. He described as a "lie" the official US explanation that they visited Curacao for rest and recreation.

"They were doing movements. They were doing maneuvers," Chavez said, speaking through a translator.

He added: "We are coming up with the counter-Balboa plan. That is to say if the government of the United States attempts to commit the foolhardy enterprise of attacking us, it would be embarked on a 100-year war. We are prepared."

Chavez has been attending the summit of world leaders at the United Nations in New York this week. On Thursday, he denounced the US-led war in Iraq and told other leaders they should consider moving the UN headquarters out of the United States.

To prove US intentions to invade Venezuela, Chavez offered to send "Nightline" host Ted Koppel maps and other documentation.

"What I can't tell you is how we got it, to protect the sources, how we got it through military intelligence," he said.

In the event of a US invasion, Chavez said the United States can "just forget" about receiving any more oil from his country.

How Mossad Deceived the U.S. Military on 9/11
Posted By: ChristopherBollyn
Date: Friday, 1 April 2005, 11:13 p.m.

Mossad, Israel's military intelligence agency, infiltrated the most sensitive computer networks in the United States through a little start-up company known as Ptech, in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Most notably, it was this infiltration that allowed the events of September 11, 2001 to occur.

If the crimes of 9/11 had been properly investigated, these people would have been investigated and booked long ago. The Mossad connection is obvious; read on:

In order to facilitate the computer network penetration, Mossad set up a IT consultancy and software provider named Ptech using Lebanese and Arabs as the front-man financiers and founders and keeping their Jewish American "sayan" in a secondary, but critical position.

First a note of background on what Ptech did, from the January 2005 article "Michael Chertoff and the sabotage of the Ptech investigation" on the Rigorous Intuition weblog:Rumor Mill News.com

Israel and 9/11: New Report Connects the Dots - What the 9/11 Commission didn't tell us
by Justin Raimondo

This news report in the Philadelphia Times Herald might shock the average reader, but its subject is surely familiar to longtime readers of Antiwar.com:

"A memorandum sent to the 9/11 Commission, and Senate and House intelligence committees in September 2004, suggests that young Israelis who canvassed dozens of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offices in 2000 and 2001 trying to sell paintings to federal workers, may have been spying not only on the DEA, but also on Arab extremists in the United States – including the Sept. 11 hijackers who were living in Florida and New Jersey."

The author of this memorandum [.pdf] is Gerald Shea, a retired corporate lawyer. Shea – an alumnus of Phillips Academy, Yale (1964), and Columbia Law School – was associated for many years with one of New York's most prominent law firms, in New York and Paris, and his memo reads like a lawyer's brief: it is written with the same meticulous attention to details of time and place, and with a lawyerly regard for maintaining a high standard of evidence.

The "Able Danger" data-mining operation that supposedly uncovered the New Jersey cell of the 9/11 plotters was – for some reason yet to be determined – blocked and prevented from apprehending key figures in the plot, according to the testimony of at least three people who have direct knowledge of this matter. Shea's memo opens up a possibility that may relate to (and explain) the "Able Danger" blockage: was surveillance of Arab terrorist groups in the U.S. subcontracted out to the Israelis, with the knowledge and complicity of the CIA, so that "Able Danger" was considered poaching on the Israelis' preserve? Shea cites a piece in The Forward that describes Israeli covert activities in the U.S. as a violation of "a secret gentleman's agreement between the two countries," and avers:

"The real question today, however, appears to be whether the 'gentlemen's agreement' did indeed prevail here and, because we lacked adequate warning from our surrogates who were keeping the Arabs under surveillance, helped bring us to disaster."

PENTAGON AFFIRMS WELDONS CONCERNS; TROUBLING QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED

(Um, Congressman, the last time I checked Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were still in charge of the Pentagon... expect delays and obstruction!)

WASHINGTON, Sep 2 - Today, Congressman Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees, released the following statement in response to an informal briefing held by the Pentagon yesterday on their investigation into Able Danger - a Department of Defense planning effort to identify and target the linkages and relationships of Al-Qaeda worldwide.

"The Pentagon confirmed that five credible witnesses did see the 9-11 ringleader, Mohammad Atta, in data produced by Able Danger prior to the 9-11 attacks. These new facts bring to light an ever-widening accounting of the information produced by Able Danger and raises serious concerns about the failure of that information getting to the proper authorities.

The Pentagon also confirmed that, due to strict domestic privacy protocol, it destroyed documents during and following Able Danger containing information on U.S. persons - information that would have included the Brooklyn linkages, particularly to Atta.

These preliminary results are troubling, and the fact that the our government had this information at one time, and possibly destroyed it, is haunting.

I encourage the Pentagon to continue its investigation and to exhaust all of its resources in gaining a full accounting of Able Danger and what its findings could have prevented.

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society - John F. Kennedy

It is axiomatic that secrecy is the handmaiden of mischief, especially by government. When we are facing a foreign threat, the government tends to toss around terms like "national security" as a justification for increased secrecy. But often, such an invocation is not as much about making our nation safe as protecting the government from embarrassment or challenge by critics.

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: THE DEMISE OF GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY

The Neo-Cons’ Unfettered Access to America’s Secrets

By Wayne Madsen

During the Cold War, if the United States suffered a massive compromise of its own cryptographic security and, at the same, time experienced a thorough penetration of its communications intelligence yielding the sensitive sources and methods whereby the U.S. intelligence community tapped and decrypted the communications of its adversaries, the Soviet Union would have been able to dictate surrender terms for America and its allies.

For years, the National Security Agency (NSA) maintained highly classified back doors into the encrypted communications of worldwide foreign ministries, military commands, banks, international organizations, and even the Vatican, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the United Nations. In addition, the United States spent billions of dollars to develop highly secure cryptographic systems to protect its military, intelligence, and diplomatic communications from the prying ears and eyes of its enemies.

However, according to U.S. intelligence sources with connections to both the Reagan and Clinton administrations, America’s most sensitive communications security and cryptologic secrets have been totally compromised by a Fifth Column embedded within the recent past and current administrations – the group generally identified as “neo-conservatives,” political ideologues rooted in a peculiar blend of Trotskyism and fascism -- ideologues who are neither “new” nor “conservative” in ideology but whose intentions are to weaken America’s national security to a degree that ruins the very foundations on which the nation was built.

One of the major NSA success stories since its establishment on October 24, 1952 was the rigging of the encryption machines of the Swiss company Crypto AG in a secret deal cut between NSA’s William Friedman and Boris Hagelin, the developer of the Hagelin cipher machine used by the Allies in World War II. In 1958, Hagelin, who founded Crypto AG in 1950, agreed to the deal with NSA. It was the height of the Cold War.

For U.S. intelligence, the Hagelin-NSA deal was an intelligence coup on the level of the U.S. breaking of Germany’s Enigma code and Japan’s Purple code in World War II. Neutral nations trusted a Swiss company to sell encryption machines as highly-reliable as Swiss watches and as trusted as Swiss bank accounts. Non-aligned nations like Egypt, Indonesia, Algeria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Mexico, Yemen, Venezuela, Yugoslavia, and Argentina became contented Crypto AG users. Upon independence, Britain’s Commonwealth Office offered the British Empire’s newly-independent states a sweetheart deal. They could protect their sensitive diplomatic communications with free surplus Hagelin cryptographic machines like the C-52 cipher machine once used by Britain. Nations like India, Pakistan, Ghana, Burma, Ceylon, Nigeria, Kenya, Kuwait, and Jordan enthusiastically accepted the offer along with mechanical modifications to handle non-Latin alphabets like Arabic, Burmese, Thai, and Farsi. The users were unaware that all their coded traffic was an open book to NSA and Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), NSA’s British signals intelligence partner in a secret intelligence-sharing pact known as the UK-USA Agreement. French-speaking Crypto AG salesmen had tremendous success in francophone former French and Belgian African colonies to use their ciphering machines after independence. Soon, governments in the Central African Republic, Morocco, Tunisia, Gabon, Upper Volta, Dahomey, Cameroon, Togo, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa), Senegal, Malagasy Republic, and Chad were encrypting their communications not aware that everything was being decoded and read by NSA.

Eventually, Crypto AG’s encryption machines went digital. The encryption mechanisms, according to a U.S. intelligence source, were contained in an electronically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) unit known as HC6800 (the “HC” standing for “Hagelin Cipher”). As Crypto AG sold more and more of its units to some 120 countries around the world, the NSA’s ability to read encrypted traffic was a virtual gold mine of intelligence. Convinced the Swiss firm was an honest broker, the Iranian Islamic regime, Libya’s Muammar el Qaddafi, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, the Philippine’s Ferdinand Marcos, Ethiopia’s Mengistu Haile Mariam, Equatorial Guinea’s brutal dictator Francisco Macias Nguema, and Uganda’s Idi Amin all scrambled their secret money movements, assassination orders, and clandestine arms deals with Crypto’s machines. And everything was known to Washington.

That was, until 1993, when the Soviets became aware of the Crypto AG secret project courtesy of the classified information passed to Israel by convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. The Naval Intelligence Field Operational Intelligence Office employee, in the course of passing a garage-full of classified documents and computer disks to Israeli intelligence, compromised one of NSA’s most important sources and methods of intelligence gathering. Included among the classified NSA documents passed to Israel was RASIN (Radio-Signal Notations), the multi-volume TOP SECRET UMBRA encyclopedia of how the NSA collected signals around the world. However, the Crypto AG disclosures were contained in an even higher classified set of documents compromised by Pollard.

Pollard’s Scientific Liaison Unit (LAKAM) handler Rafael (“Rafi”) Eitan spirited Pollard’s intelligence take off to Israel where some of it was traded to the Soviet Union in return for an increase in the number of Soviet Jews permitted to emigrate to Israel. America’s ability to read the encrypted traffic of all of Israel’s neighbors (Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia) was immediately compromised to the detriment of United States interests in the Middle East. Pollard’s intelligence also included details of the Pakistani atomic bomb project and the A. Q. Khan nuclear proliferation network. According to a 1999 New Yorker article by Seymour Hersh, Pollard had also been involved in trying to broker arms sales to the Afghan rebels in 1985 – an activity that would have put the Israeli spy in direct contact with the Mujaheddin, which was then bankrolled by the Saudis and included Osama Bin Laden and his nascent future “Al Qaeda” terrorists.

Thanks to Pollard’s disclosures to the Soviets, NSA’s prized collection project was immediately compromised to the KGB and GRU military intelligence. The KGB and GRU found out about the “seed key” used by NSA as a master key” to unlock encoded communications transmitted by Crypto AG machines.

For a while NSA’s secret was only known to the Soviets and Israelis. However, in March 1992, after Hans Buehler, Crypto AG’s marketing representative in Iran was arrested by Iranian counter-intelligence for spying for the “intelligence services of the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America,” NSA’s operations were truly out of the bag and thrust into the public limelight. Buehler was jailed in Tehran’s infamous Evin prison for nine months. Eventually, Crypto AG paid a $1 million bail for Buehler’s release. After returning to Switzerland, Buehler documented his experience and the NSA rigging program in a book titled Verschluesselt.

Although it is undetermined who tipped off the Iranians about the NSA Trojan horse embedded in their Crypto AG machines, U.S. intelligence sources have revealed that Israel gained the most from the disclosure of the Crypto operation, originally compromised by their American spy Pollard. Ex-CIA agents report that the Russian intelligence successors to the former KGB were actually tipped off about the Crypto AG project CIA spy Aldrich Ames. While still acting as a spy for the Russians after the Soviet collapse, Ames reportedly told the Russians about the Crypto machines. The Russians, in turn, tipped off the Iranians that their Crypto AG units were rigged by the NSA. The Russians may have received additional information on the Crypto units from longtime Soviet and Russian FBI spy Robert Hanssen. CIA sources claim Hanssen could not have gotten his job without high-level support from more senior FBI officials, including his Opus Dei co-religionist and personal friend Louis Freeh, Jr., the FBI Director.

Although Crypto AG (and its secret partner Siemens of Germany) paid Buehler’s bail and tried to bury the story, the effect of Crypto AG’s sales was immediate. Country after country and bank after bank began to have reservations about the equipment despite Crypto’s assurances. Spain and Japan reportedly canceled sales. A number of longtime customers switched to high grade Russian encryption gear.

According to U.S. intelligence sources, shortly after the revelations by Buehler and other Crypto engineers about the NSA project, Switzerland-based international billionaire fugitive and suspected Mossad asset Marc Rich stepped in and invested heavily in Crypto AG’s to boost its deflated stock values. Rich was pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001 in an eleventh hour deal partly negotiated by Rich’s attorney (and current Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff and CIA “Leakgate” suspect) I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

The deal with Rich was a Faustian one for Crypto AG. NSA was forced to abandon its prized signals intelligence operation. Communications currently encoded by Crypto AG machines are now, according to U.S. intelligence sources, routinely read by Rich and his Israeli intelligence contacts. Although the encryption technology graduated from computerized central processing units to surface mounted encryption boards, the security trap doors still exist, according to intelligence sources.

Encrypted cables between oil companies and buyers, including spot market dealers, allegedly allow Rich and his friends to underbid lucrative oil contracts. In addition, compromised “secure” bank networks have permitted fake wire transfers to loot numbered bank accounts, including those held by Saudi and Vatican officials. These revelations apparently resulted in the mysterious murder three years ago of the Crypto AG salesman in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the ability by the Israelis to monitor diplomatic, intelligence, and financial traffic prior to the 911 terrorist attacks permitted international speculators to place “put” options on the stocks of American and United Airlines just prior to September 11, 2001 – an operation that yielded hundreds of millions in profits.

The deal with Rich was a Faustian one for Crypto AG. NSA was forced to abandon its prized signals intelligence operation.


In the early 1990s, a transfer of five KY-78 encryption devices by Canada to a NATO base in Germany resulted in a disastrous compromise of U.S. communications security (COMSEC) secrets to the Israelis. According to U.S. intelligence sources, the Canadians transferred the five of the machines to their CANLOG (Canadian Logistics) United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) post at Camp Ziounai (nicknamed by the Canadians “Camp Roofless”) on the Golan Heights in the Separation Zone between Israeli and Syrian forces. During a rotation of Canadian personnel, two of the encryption machines went missing. After a COMSEC audit was conducted, the Canadian communications supervisor reported he had “at least four” of the KY-78s on the books but could only account for two. Since only one was required for communications, he shipped one back to Germany. However, three of the highly classified units remained missing. Two of the units ended up in the hands of Israeli intelligence and were taken apart and fully examined by Mossad crypto experts. Israeli human intelligence agents procured the machine’s key codes from other sources.

The results were disastrous for U.S. and NATO secure communications. During Operation Desert Storm, the Israelis were able to read all of the encrypted traffic in and out of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. U.S. intelligence sources report the only secured communications to and from the embassy was by diplomatic pouch. To cover the fact that they had obtained the codes from the Canadian Golan post, Israeli intelligence began setting up U.S. Marine guards at the Tel Aviv embassy with local prostitutes as a feint to divert attention away from the KY-78 compromise on the Golan to the unwitting Marines as possible crypto thieves in the eyes of U.S. counter-intelligence agents.

Ironically, after the compromise the Canadian peacekeepers replaced their KY-78s with similarly compromised Crypto AG equipment. As for the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, after its coded communications were compromised and this became known to NSA, the embassy’s encryption devices were rewired and the codes were changed.

The Israelis were then forced to rely on human intelligence assets within the embassy to feed them classified information. Enter Air Force Reserve officer Larry Franklin – a Defense Intelligence Agency analyst who was first detailed in 1993 to perform his reserve active duty at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv. Franklin would serve repeated tours of duty at the embassy. Earlier this year, Franklin and two officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) were indicted for mishandling highly classified U.S. intelligence. Franklin was discovered to have stashed 83 classified documents, including Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) files at his West Virginia home. Franklin was accused of passing classified documents to the AIPAC officials who had maintained a liaison with an Israeli intelligence official at the Israeli embassy in Washington.

Soon, Franklin would have some intelligence assistance at the Tel Aviv embassy. Enter U.S. ambassador Martin Indyk, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Australia. Strangely, Indyk had two tours of duty as U.S. ambassador to Israel – from 1995 to 1997 and from 2000 to 2001. According to U.S. intelligence sources, Indyk was a valued supplier of classified U.S. intelligence to Israel. In 2000, Indyk had his security clearance yanked. Although Secretary of State Madeleine Albright denied that Indyk was suspected of espionage, U.S. intelligence sources tell an entirely different story. State Department Bureau of Diplomatic Security agents discovered that Indyk routinely took home classified materials where they were left to be photocopied by his maid who doubled as a Mossad operative. Indyk also reportedly allowed his Israeli dinner guests to read other classified documents. Knowing this, State Diplomatic Security agents planted some “classified” documents on Indyk and waited for them to appear. After they turned up through the suspected channels, Indyk’s security clearance was lifted.

CIA sources have confirmed that the neo-con penetration of NSA’s raw telecommunications intercept data by John Bolton was part of a multi-pronged attempt by Israeli intelligence to access the “Fort Knox” of America’s cryptologic secrets: the massive repository database of global intercepts of phone calls, email, faxes, and telexes now known as “ANCHORY” but will soon be expanded into a super database code named “OCEANARIUM.” As a result of former NSA Director Michael Hayden’s outsourcing contracts named “Groundbreaker” and “Trailblazer,” companies with ties to Israeli intelligence are gaining increased access to NSA’s operations and its massive archives of secrets.

The FBI also had severe problems with communications compromises during the lead up to 911. FBI agents tailing Israeli agents in the United States (who, in turn, were living and working in close proximity to the Al Qaeda hijackers) were stymied by the compromise of secure FBI and Justice Department communications systems by Israeli contractor telecommunications companies such as AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys. In addition, Israeli software companies had permitted Mossad unfettered access to credit card and telephone records of U.S. counter-intelligence agents. America’s counter-intelligence community was trying to do its job with one hand tied behind its back.

The Mossad operatives the FBI’s New York Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) was tailing in the New York and New Jersey areas covered their communications by using untraceable Verizon pre-paid cellular phones and Nextel two-way walkie-talkie devices. Mossad agents were also trailing and harassing CIA agents assigned to track people like lead hijacker Mohammed Atta, especially in Fort Lee, New Jersey where Atta lived for a while. An attempt by the FBI to penetrate New York and New Jersey Israeli intelligence-connected office moving companies, such as Urban Moving Systems, which was discovered to have conducted an emergency move of the Israeli Zim-American Israeli Shipping Company from the World Trade Center’s North Tower just weeks prior to 911, were disrupted by communications compromises and pressure from FBI and Justice Department headquarters in Washington, DC. Much of that pressure reportedly originated from then-U.S. Attorney for Northern New Jersey Michael Chertoff, the current Secretary of Homeland Security.

U.S. intelligence sources report that the late FBI agent John O’Neill was well aware of the suspicious Israeli activity in the lead up to 911. One FBI was taken off the Israeli surveillance operations and sent to Pakistan to investigate the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. According to U.S. intelligence sources, Pearl was killed not by Al Qaeda but by paid foreign hit men hired to get rid of someone who was getting “too close” to the actual money sources that paid for the 911 attack.

U.S. intelligence sources report that the one Israeli who is considered an extreme threat to U.S. national security is former Prime Minister and current Prime Minister hopeful Binyamin Netanyahu. Not only has Netanyahu visited convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard in his North Carolina prison cell and advocated strenuously for his release but he was once overheard by an ex-CIA agent as saying to a group of his supporters, “Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away.” Considering the damage the neo-cons and their Israeli facilitators are causing for U.S. national security, Netanyahu may soon have his wish.

Wayne Madsen exclusive report

Mohammed Atta and Prince Nayif: the Saudi drugs dealers who helped finance the 911 attack

Released confidential documents point to financing of 911 attacks tied to Bush family drug network

By Wayne Madsen

In 1999, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) broke open a major conspiracy involving a Saudi prince’s Colombian cocaine smuggling from Venezuela to support some “future intention” involving Koranic prophecy. The DEA operations were contained in a “Declassification of a Secret DEA 6 Paris Country Office” memorandum dated June 26, 2000, a date which coincided with the height of Israeli art student and 911 hijacker activity in the United States. In June 1999, 808 kilograms of cocaine were seized in Paris. At the same time, the DEA was conducting a major investigation of the Medellin drug cartel called Operation Millennium.

Through an intercepted fax, the Bogota Country Office of the DEA learned of the Paris cocaine seizure and linked the drug smuggling operation to the Saudis. The DEA investigation centered around Saudi Prince Nayif al Saud, whose alias was El Principe (the Prince). Nayif's full name is Nayif (or Nayef) bin Fawwaz al-Shaalan al-Saud. In pursuit of his international drug deals, Nayif traveled in his own Boeing 727 and used his diplomatic status to avoid customs checks. The DEA report stated Nayif studied at the University of Miami, Florida, owned a bank in Switzerland, speaks eight languages, was heavily invested in Venezuela’s petroleum industry, regularly visited the United States, and traveled with millions of dollars of U.S. currency. Nayif is also invested in Colombia's petroleum industry.

Nayif was also reported to have met with drug cartel members in Marbella, Spain, where the late Saudi King Fahd and the Saudi royal family maintained a huge palatial residence. The report states that when a group of cartel members traveled to Riyadh to meet Nayif, “they were picked up in a Rolls Royce automobile belonging to Nayif, and driven to the Riyadh Holiday Inn hotel. The next day they were met by Nayif and his brother [believed to be named Saul [sic] [His twin brother is Prince Saud. Nayif's older brother, Prince Nawaf, is married to King Abdullah's daughter].)… The second day they all traveled to the desert in terrain vehicles [hummers]. During this desert trip they discussed narcotics trafficking. UN [The DEA informant] and Nayif agreed to conduct the 2,000 kilogram cocaine shipment, which would be delivered to Caracas, VZ, by UN’s people, where Nayif would facilitate the cocaine’s transport to Paris, France. Nayif explained he would utilize his 727 jet airliner, under Diplomatic cover, to transport the cocaine. The Boeing 727 was operated by Skyways International,a Saudi-owned airline with past connections to the mysterious James Bath, George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard friend and later Arbusto and Harken Energy investment pass-through between the Saudis and Bush. These investors included Salem Bin Laden, Osama Bin Laden's late older brother who was killed in a 1988 plane crash in Texas. Bath was the registered agent for Salem Bin Laden.

Nayif told "UN" that he could transport up to 20,000 kilograms of cocaine in his jet airliner, and propositioned "UN" “to conduct 10-20,000 kilogram shipments in the future.” "UN" wondered why Nayif, supposedly a devout Muslim, would be involved with drugs. Nayif’s response in light of what is now known about Saudi funding of terrorism, is worth a close perusal. During the Riyadh meeting, Nayif responded to "UN’s" question by stating that “he is a strict advocate of the Muslim Corran [sic].” "UN" stated, “Nayif does not drink, smoke, or violate any of the Corran’s [sic] teachings. "UN" asked Nayif why he [Nayif] wanted to sell cocaine and Nayif stated that the world is already doomed and that he has been authorized by God to sell drugs. Nayif stated that "UN" would later learn of Nayif’s true intentions for trafficking narcotics although Nayif would not comment further.” The Saudi prince’s drug smuggling operation was smashed by the DEA and French police in October 1999.[1]

On May 16, 1999, Prince Nayif's Skyways Boeing 727 touched down at LeBourget Airport outside of Paris ( this is the same airport that received the Bin Laden family flight from the United States following the 911 attacks). Also on board the plane were a number of Saudi princes and princesses. Two tons of cocaine, smuggled on to the aircraft in Caracas, were transported as one large diplomatic pouch by two waiting Saudi vans. The cocaine was transported to Noissy-le-Sec, a Paris suburb. A French-US law enforcement case against Nayif and his entourage, complete with evidence and confidential informants soon collapsed.

Wayne Madsen Report.com has come into possession of a "Confidential Diplomatic" cable from the French embassy in Saudi Arabia to Paris warning that Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef had warned that if France pursued the case against the Saudi prince, a lucrative Î7 billion radar defense contract, Project SBGDP (Garde Frontiere), with the French firm Thales would be canceled. The embassy cable sought pressure against the French Interior Ministry to drop its investigation of Nayif. The cable also indicated that Saudi Interior Minister Nayef's irritation at the French investigation was shared by his brothers Abdullah (then-Crown Prince) and Sultan (Defense Minister) as well as the Governor of Riyadh Province Prince Salman. Saudi informers have revealed that Al Qaeda members routinely traveled through Riyadh on their way to Pakistan and then to Taliban Afghanistan. These insiders report that Salman's office arranged for cash payments, hotels, and air fares for the Al Qaeda members.



The French cable also states that the Saudis reiterated that it was merciless to drug traffickers for which Saudi youth were often the victims. The Saudis also told the French that unlike Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon, Saudi Arabia was not a base for drug trafficking. The reaction by the Saudi government's key principals to the French drug investigation indicates they had something to hide. Perhaps similar to the Bush family, they had an off-the-books operation to generate hundreds of millions of dollars for their Wahhabi compatriots in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The French cable draws attention to intelligence rumors that the cocaine transported by Nayif from Venezuela originated in Colombia -- the same country where George H. W. Bush and his Iran-contra co-conspirators arranged for cocaine-for-cash-for-weapons transfers involving Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega as a middleman. CIA sources have recently reported that lead hijacker Mohammed Atta was known to U.S., British, and Saudi intelligence as a heroin courier from Mujaheddin-controlled Afghanistan as early as 1991. Atta was also identified as a cocaine user. Hence, what the French and U.S. law enforcement investigators discovered in 1999 may have been a major financial source for Al Qaeda's terrorist attacks. Recent revelations that a Top Secret U.S. Special Operations Command/Defense Intelligence Agency unit code named Able Danger was shadowing Al Qaeda operatives in 1999, the same year that Nayif and his courier activities were discovered, indicates high level collusion inside the United States Defense and Justice Departments with elements that did not want to embarrass the Saudis. As with the DEA investigation of Nayif, Able Danger was shut down on orders by Pentagon lawyers.

It is quite possible that the massive amounts of Able Danger data reported to have been destroyed on the Atta team may have included gigabytes of financial data on Prince Nayif's drug money laundering activities. Wayne Madsen Report.com has obtained a European intelligence agency flow chart titled "Operation Palme," illustrating the connections of Nayif's brother Nawwaf's financial operations to a myriad of other entities, a large number of them based in Geneva, a city where Wayne Madsen Report.com has previously reported the presence of a number of Bush-connected entities tied to the 911 attacks, including a money transfer to at least one of the hijackers.

According to the Operation Palme chart, Nawwaf bin Fawwaz al-Shaalan is Vice President of Kanz Bank located at 65 rue du Rhone in Geneva. This bank is linked to Bammer Financial Trade Organization at 7 rue Versonnex in Geneva, Virgin Corporation LLC in Vessy (Geneva Canton), Maison Virgin Corporation also in Vessy, Degroof Luxembourg SA of Genf, Geneva Canton, and Capital Trust SA, 640 Avenida Diagonal, Barcelona, Spain.

The most interesting document passed to Wayne Madsen Report is a business card that shows a clear link between Skyways International, the firm tied to the Bush family and the Saudis, and the National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia. The business card for a flight engineer named Keith Monroe indicates that Skyways International is a subsidiary of the National Commercial Bank.





In 1992, according to The Houston Chronicle, George W. Bush's friend James Bath was investigated by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) and the FBI. Investigators suspected Saudi investors who worked with Bath of illegally trying to influence U.S. policy during the Reagan and Bush I administrations. Bath invested Saudi money in Arbusto '70 Ltd., Arbusto '80 Ltd., and Bush Exploration Co. (which later morphed into Harken Energy Corp., which included George W. Bush as its director). After Desert Storm, Harken was granted lucrative off-shore drilling rights by Bahrain, a Desert Storm coalition partner. One of the other shareholders of Harken, along with Bush, was Saudi businessman Abdullah Taha Bakhsh. According to the Chronicle, Bath, who was a sole agent of Salem Bin Laden, was also the sole director of Skyway Aircraft Leasing Corp., one of the affiliates of Skyways International. Bath established four corporate entities with the name "Skyway" and the firm that incorporated the corporate contrivances in the Cayman Islands for Bath was the same one that established a Cayman-based money laundering front company for Oliver North in the Iran-contra scandal. In 1977, Bath bought Houston Gulf Airport on behalf of Salem Bin Laden. Skyway Aircraft Leasing Corporation was, according to the Chronicle, owned by Khalid Bin Mahfouz, a major shareholder in the defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), a major money laundering activity for George H. W. Bush's Iran-contra caper. Bin Mahfouz was also the owner of the National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia.

There has never been any explanation by the Saudis of what Prince Nayif’s ultimate intentions were and what he was planning to do with the cash from the illegal cocaine shipments. In light of the funding for 911 and other terrorist incidents, the DEA report on Operation Millenium takes on greater significance. Did Saudi drug smuggling proceeds help pay for the 911 attack? Why was this possible connection overlooked by the 911 Commission? What did the Able Danger team stumble across while Nayif was smuggling drugs? Was Atta a part of this Saudi drug network? If so, why was Atta, a drug courier, permitted to enter the United States on numerous occasions?

It would appear that the Saudis, in connection with people closely associated with George W. Bush (perhaps including Bush himself as well as his father), have been giving a "wink and a nod" to illicit airline smuggling businesses involving drugs and money laundering for a number of years. There are American citizens currently sitting in prisons under mandatory harsh drug-related sentences for doing much less than what the Bush crime family, their Saudi partners, and their network of drug mules and couriers (including Mohammed Atta and Saudi Prince Nayif) have been getting away with for decades. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) statutes cry out for an accounting by these individuals before a court of law.

Bush Official Arrested in Corruption Probe

By R. Jeffrey Smith and Susan Schmidt
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, September 20, 2005; Page A01

The Bush administration's top federal procurement official resigned Friday and was arrested yesterday, accused of lying and obstructing a criminal investigation into Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff's dealings with the federal government. It was the first criminal complaint filed against a government official in the ongoing corruption probe related to Abramoff's activities in Washington.

The complaint, filed by the FBI, alleges that David H. Safavian, 38, a White House procurement official involved until last week in Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, made repeated false statements to government officials and investigators about a golf trip with Abramoff to Scotland in 2002.

It also contends that he concealed his efforts to help Abramoff acquire control of two federally managed properties in the Washington area. Abramoff is the person identified as "Lobbyist A" in a 13-page affidavit unsealed in court, according to sources knowledgeable about the probe.

Until his resignation on the day the criminal complaint against him was signed, Safavian was the top administrator at the federal procurement office in the White House Office of Management and Budget, where he set purchasing policy for the entire government.

The arrest occurred at his home in Alexandria. A man who answered the phone there yesterday hung up when a reporter asked to speak to Safavian.

Abramoff was indicted by federal prosecutors in Miami last month on unrelated charges of wire fraud and conspiracy. He remains the linchpin of an 18-month probe by a federal task force that includes the Internal Revenue Service, the Interior Department and the Justice Department's fraud and public integrity units. His lawyer did not respond to phone calls seeking comment.

Abramoff's allegedly improper dealings with Indian tribes -- which netted him and an associate at least $82 million in fees -- prompted the federal probe. But investigators have found that his documents and e-mails contain a trove of information about his aggressive efforts to seek favors for clients from members of Congress and senior bureaucrats.

Accompanying Safavian and Abramoff on the 2002 trip to Scotland, for example, were Rep. Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Administration Committee, lobbyist and former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed and Neil Volz, a lobbyist with Abramoff at the Washington office of Greenburg Traurig.

Like Abramoff, Safavian is a veteran Washington player. He is a former lobbying partner of anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist and previously worked with Abramoff at another firm. Both he and Abramoff have represented gambling clients and Indian tribes with gambling interests.

At the time of the golf trip, Safavian was chief of staff at the General Services Administration, where ethics rules flatly prohibited the receipt of a gift from any person seeking an official action by the agency. When Safavian asked GSA ethics officers for permission to go on the trip, he assured them in writing that Abramoff "has no business before GSA," according to the affidavit signed by FBI special agent Jeffrey A. Reising.

Reising alleged, however, that Abramoff had by then already secretly enlisted Safavian in an effort to buy 40 acres of land that GSA managed in Silver Spring for use as the campus of a Hebrew school Abramoff founded. Safavian also allegedly tried to help Abramoff lease space for Abramoff's clients in an old post office building downtown.

On July 22, 2002, Abramoff sent Safavian an e-mail with a proposed draft letter that "at least two members of Congress" could send to GSA supporting the lease, according to the affidavit. "Does this work, or do you want it to be longer?" Abramoff asked.

Three days later, Safavian forwarded Abramoff an e-mail describing how an employee at OMB was resisting Abramoff's plan to lease space at the post office. "I suspect we'll end up having to bring some Hill pressure to bear on OMB," Safavian messaged Abramoff.

On the same day Safavian discussed the golf trip with the ethics office, he sent an e-mail to Abramoff from his home computer, advising him how to "lay out a case for this lease." Abramoff subsequently wrote in an e-mail to his wife and two officials of the school that Safavian had shown him a map of the property at his GSA office but had cautioned that Abramoff should not visit again "given my high profile politically."

Safavian nonetheless arranged a meeting for Abramoff's wife and business partner with officials at GSA on the day before he departed for Scotland aboard Abramoff's chartered jet. The trip cost more than $120,000 and was paid for mostly by a charity founded and run by Abramoff, the Capital Athletic Foundation.

When Safavian was questioned by The Washington Post about the trip in January, he said he paid his share of the expenses and took unpaid leave. "The trip was exclusively personal; I did no business there. . . . Jack is an old friend of mine," Safavian said.

But the complaint alleges that Safavian lied about his contacts with Abramoff on three occasions after his initial false pledge to the GSA ethics officer. The first was during a 2003 investigation by GSA's inspector general, who was responding to an anonymous tipster's hotline complaint; the second was in a March 17, 2005, letter to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs; and the third was during an FBI interview on May 26, 2005.

From Wayne Madsen report

September 24, 2005 -- Anti-war protest in Washington, DC today. Very few Democratic members of Congress to appear. Reason: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), according to Democratic insiders on Capitol Hill, put out the word that any member of Congress who appeared at the protest, where some speakers were to represent pro-Palestinian views, would face the political wrath of AIPAC. According to Democratic sources on the Hill, Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts was the chief conveyor of the AIPAC warning to his colleagues. At the time of this report, three members of Congress were to address the anti-war protestors: Reps. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), John Conyers (D-MI), and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA). The word is that AIPAC will direct its massive campaign support to Woolsey's neo-con and pro-Iraq war primary challenger, California State Assemblyman Joe Nation, who has strong connections to the Rand Corporation, one of the Pentagon's chief war-making think tanks. Woolsey represents California's Marin and Sonoma counties.

THE NUMBERS OF Protestors varied from sources, to 100,000 to 300,000 yet who saw any of this on tv? The President was conviently not in Washington, but in Colorado making up for the Katrina disaster.

Israelis won't testify. What are they hiding?

Israelis won't testify in AIPAC trial
By NATHAN GUTTMAN
WASHINGTON


The three Israeli diplomats who were in touch with former AIPAC staffers now standing trial in Virginia are unwilling to cooperate with defense attorneys and do not intend to agree to come and testify in the case.

In a court hearing on September 19 at the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, Judge T.S. Ellis asked attorney Abbe Lowell, who is representing Steve Rosen, the former policy director of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), if he intends to summon any foreign nationals to testify in court. The term "foreign nationals" in this case refers to Israelis, who were mentioned in the indictment as having contacts with Rosen and with the second defendant, Keith Weissman, a former Iran specialist at AIPAC.

Lowell told Judge Ellis that he has been in touch with attorneys for the Israelis and that his impression is that it will be difficult to get them to testify.

"They are not going to make this very easy," Lowell told the court.

The indictment, accusing Rosen and Weissman of conspiring to communicate classified information, mentioned three "foreign officials" that received information from the two former AIPAC employees as well as from the third defendant in the case, Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin. Though the they were not named in the legal documents, Israeli and US sources confirmed that two of the Israelis involved in the case are Naor Gilon, who was the political officer in the Israeli embassy in Washington, and Rafi Barak, who served as the Deputy Chief of Mission. US sources said the third Israeli is presumed to be a representative of the military intelligence in Washington, but his identity was not confirmed by other sources.

All three Israelis are no longer in Washington and all have diplomatic immunity, which prevents them from being subpoenaed by either side in the case.

The FBI is interested in interviewing the three Israelis, but the US and Israel had not yet reached an understanding regarding the method with which the interviews will be conducted. In the beginning of August, a team of Israelis, headed by Foreign Ministry legal adviser Ehud Keinan, met in Washington with representatives of the Department of Justice and the State Department. The Israelis suggested that the investigators pass on their questions in writing and Israel will give a written reply. The US has not yet indicated whether it would agree to this suggestion.

In the September 19 preliminary hearing dealing with disclosure of evidence in the case, the prosecution refused to allow the defense to review all wiretap tapes of Rosen and Weissman phone calls. The prosecutors told the court that some of the wiretaps were ordered under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and indicated that the taps were of "the defendants and third parties".

The indictment suggests that these "third parties" were probably Israeli diplomats who have been under US surveillance for years. All the communications between 1999-2001 listed in the indictment involved Israeli officials, a fact that suggests that the initial targets of the surveillance were Israeli diplomats. A senior Israeli intelligence source said when the case broke out last August that he would not be surprised to learn that the US is following Israeli representatives and that it is a "working presumption" for all Israeli diplomats that their calls and meetings are monitored by the FBI.

(Continued from page 1 of 2)
The AIPAC case will return to court this Wednesday, when Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin will enter his guilty plea as part of a plea bargain he reached with the prosecution.

The New York Sun reported Friday that, in return for Franklin's consent to testify against Rosen and Weissman, he will be able to keep at least half of his pension from the Defense Department.

In the following week, Judge Ellis is expected to rule on the wiretap issue. The prosecution was ordered to show precedents for not allowing defendants to hear their own conversations as recorded by the FBI. At the present time, the prosecution is willing to pass to the defense only 9 hours of recordings.

Defense attorneys said that, if they are not allowed to hear the tapes, they will ask the court to dismiss the case.

A former administration official who was questioned by the FBI in the past months on the case told The Jerusalem Post that the investigators who approached him seemed to have exact information on phone calls he had with Rosen, as well as dates of meetings and memos written following those meetings.
