Someone posted <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/8/26/81449/9619">this bit</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> on DKos, titled <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Banking with the Bushes</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. It's Madsen's story about the bank Al Taqwa. There's the implication that Brewster Jennings may have been getting too close to establishing direct ties to BFEE...<br><br>anyhow, thought I'd share. <p></p><i></i>

Tangled Web ...

Postby Starman » Fri Aug 26, 2005 12:52 pm

'What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve.'<br><br>The jumble of interlocking Directorships, false fronts, cut-outs, middle men, offshore Trusts, International Banks and proxy managers is no less remarkable for being about what one would expect for those hiding their back-trail of global conspiracy -- But it keeps astonishing me to find how these thugs have managed to keep from getting busted, by passing their guilt and complicity around.<br><br>From the link cited: Madsen's Intelligence Whispers, July 24-25 Update; One wonders if ANYBODY in authority is paying attention or if they're simply too intimidated into inaction to do anything to bust this global network of treasonous conmen swindler racketeers. And THIS system of fraud run by warcrime gangsters is what the self-styled Champions for 'American Values' aka the Global War on Terra are so committed to? It seems, the rot is so deep and pervasive that it's now an unofficial, Classified, National Security priority to protecting those involved, to keep the whole neoliberal-American-linked protection/fraud racket from melting down the world's economy -- such enormous fraud and abuse institutionalized through the highest offices of political power is probably beyond the ability of most people to even imagine.<br><br>--excerpt--<br>The international financial transfer specialist, a German national, is now reportedly living in Geneva after spending time in Glasgow (12 Claremount Avenue, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 5UT Scotland) and reportedly had past connections to the Iranian Iran-contra figure Manucher Ghorbanifar, the late Azerbaijani President Gaidar Aliev, jailed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, current Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, and a secretive investment firm called Potomac Capital, set up as a CIA proprietary in 1976 by then-CIA Director George H. W. Bush as a means to launder large amounts of cash for classified operations. <br><br>In 1996, Interpol and the Swiss police raided the money mover's Zurich office, a brass plate which represented his Panamanian registered corporation, Topaz Liberty, Inc. The firm is reported to have had close links to Negroponte's covert Central American operations and was linked to the failed Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). The FBI desperately tried to interview the money mover in May 1996 but were unsuccessful.<br><br>Potomac Capital, which reportedly had its CIA links severed during the Clinton administration, was the template for BCCI. Potomac Capital reportedly now maintains a brass plate office in the same office building in Geneva that houses Ghorbanifar's company. The mysterious money mover is also suspected of currently providing funds to Osama bin Laden. <br><br>A well-placed intelligence source criticized the George W. Bush administration for using former CIA proprietaries for political purposes having nothing to do with national security.<br><br>Potomac Capital was used to finance an airline called ULTRAIR, which allegedly bought weapons and shipped them to the Afghan mujaheddin in the 1980s. ULTRAIR bought a couple of former Eastern Airlines Boeing 727s from Texas Air Corporation after Texas Air chairman Frank Lorenzo conducted a corporate raid on the faltering airline using junk bonds. <br><br>After ULTRAIR fell into financial difficulties, President George H. W. Bush leased the planes for White House use in a highly questionable deal. After Bush left office, the new White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster began looking into White House travel records in an investigation of the prior administration's leasing deals with ULTRAIR. Foster's investigation was complemented by a similar Justice Department probe ordered by Attorney General Janet Reno.<br>--unquote--<br><br>Amazing, it's like each layer of the rotton onion is more foul the deeper you go, with no 'center'.<br>Starman<br> <p></p><i></i>
