Investigator Exposes CIA Drug Trafficking

Govt
Investigator Exposes CIA Drug Trafficking
by URI DOWBENKO
Former government investigator Rodney
Stich is one of the unsung heroes of America.
His single-minded dedication in exposing
government crimes and coverups has resulted in his own harassment, imprisonment
and bankruptcy.
His monumental 753-page book,
"Defrauding America," in its third expanded and revised edition is clearly a
labor of love. It also happens to be the definitive history of crime, corruption
and coverups by the U.S. Federal Government in the twentieth century.
"Defrauding America" contains prima
facie evidence of nationwide legal and judicial corruption, so horrendous and so
monstrous as to defy understanding.
Rodney Stich used to be an FAA
investigator. After many years and continuous reports of airline maintenance
abuse and negligence, Rodney Stich became a whistleblower.
Because of the powerful forces of
entrenched corruption (crooked judges, crooked lawyers, and crooked government
officials, he was set up, falsely charged and imprisoned.
During his "diesel therapy" (being
constantly moved from one federal prison to another so there would be no time
for him to file court appeals), he met and interviewed other whistleblowers from
other agencies. Rather quickly he accumulated enough information to write his
magnum opus "Defrauding America".
"This book reveals criminal and
subversive activities implicating high level personnel in the three branches of
the federal government. It reveals why most of the public is dangerously
uninformed about the criminal acts perpetrated against the United States and its
people by the very people entrusted to prevent such happenings," writes Stich.
"Many criminal activities such as CIA
drugging of America will be difficult to believe by most Americans who have been
shielded from the truth by a duplicitous Congress and much of the media," he
continues. "For those of us who have seen these events as insiders, including
those who actually participated in them, questioning whether the CIA would
engage in drug trafficking is like asking pilots, 'Will planes really fly?' Yes,
planes actually fly, and yes, the CIA has been smuggling drugs into the United
States for the past 50 years."
One of the most explosive chapters in
the book is in fact titled, "CIA and DEA Drug Trafficking." This includes
first-hand accounts of CIA and DEA agents who were part of these operations.
Stich writes of hundreds of hours of three-way conference calls between CIA and
DEA personnel, their wives, a Mossad agent and even Ross Perot. Often the
conversations were of the nature of one pilot describing to another events that
they experienced each one knowing that any fabrication would be recognized by
the other. My position was like a secret mole inside covert CIA activities,
adding to the discoveries I made while a federal investigator and while being
victimized in one of the many criminal enterprises."
Cross corroboration between testimony by
CIA operatives Gunther Russbacher and Trenton Parker, for instance, indicates
that the Colombia drug cartels were actually organized by the CIA.
"Parker told how the CIA set up the
meetings in which various Colombian drug dealers organized into a drug
trafficking cartel," writes Stich. "... He stated that the first meeting
occurred with twenty of the biggest cocaine dealers in Colombia present, that
the second and final meeting was held at the Hotel International in Medellin
attended by about two hundred drug dealers. The Medellin Cartel was established
in December 1981, and each of their members paid an initial $35,000 fee to fund
a security force for the cartel members to protect their drug operations."
In another part of the book, Stich
writes that "CIA operative Gunther Russbacher, confirmed the meetings that
Parker mentioned and that there had been a preliminary meeting in September 1981
in Buenaventura, Colombia which established the format for subsequent meetings.
Russbacher attended the September 1981 meeting which was initiated by the CIA to
facilitate drug trafficking into the United States, permitting the CIA to deal
with a group rather than many independent drug dealers."
What does that mean? The phony war on
drugs was and is an operation to eliminate any competition. "The average
American is unaware of the gravity of the CIA's criminal activities thanks to
the orchestrated coverup and disinformation by the establishment media," writes
Stich. "The corrupt mindset has existed for years. Initiating wars as in Vietnam
and assassination activities as in Vietnam and Central America are routine...
Although the CIA is not permitted by law to operate within the United States, it
has done so. It has engaged and is engaging in many forms of criminal activities
against the American people. Through fronts, cutouts and proprietaries, the CIA
has defrauded all types of US financial institutions including savings and
loans, banks and insurance companies. The CIA is a major player in the looting
of Chapter 11 assets, making the exercise of Chapter 11 statutory protections a
trap for unwary Americans."
One of the most revealing incidents in
the book is a conversation recorded by one of Stich's informants, Gene "Chip"
Tatum, a helicopter pilot for the US Army and the CIA. Here's how Stich
describes it: "During one flight to Tegucigalpa on March 15, 1985, Tatum met
with William Barr, Michael Harari and Buddy Young, head of Governor Bill
Clinton's security detail." (Incidentally Buddy Young is currently the Southwest
Director of FEMA, appointed by his boss Bill Clinton.)
Tatum recorded this conversation spoken
over the aircraft intercom system. Harrari was a Mossad, Israeli intelligence
agency, operative.
"Young: Arkansas has the capability to
manufacture anything in the area of weapons and if we don't have it, we'll get
it.
Harari: How about the government
controls?
Young: The governor's on top of it. And
if the feds get nosey, we hear about it and make a call. Then they're called
off. (looking at the ground) Why the hell would anyone want to fight for a
shithole like this?
Harari: What we do has nothing to do
with preserving a country's integrity. It's just business and third world
countries see their destiny as defeating borders and expanding. The more of this
mentality we can produce, the greater our wealth. We train and we arm: that's
our job. And in return we get a product far more valuable than the money for a
gun. We're paid with product and we credit top dollar for product [i.e., drugs].
Look, one gun and 3,000 rounds of ammo is $1,200. A kilo of product [cocaine] is
about $1,000. We credit the Contras $1,500 for every kilo. That's top dollar for
a kilo of cocaine. It's equivalent to the American K-Mart special: buy four, get
one free. On our side we spend $1,200 for a kilo and sell it for $12,000 to
$15,000. Now that's a profit center. And the market is much greater for the
product than for weapons. It's just good business sense. Understand?
Young: Damn. So you guys promote wars
and revolutions to provide weapons for drugs. We provide the non-numbered parts
to change out and we all win. Damn, that's good!
Harari: It's good when it works. But
someone, how do you say, has his hand in the coffer. Young: Well we get our ten
percent right off the top and that's plenty. Gofus can make it go a long way.
Harari: Gofus?
Young: Governor Clinton. That's our pet
word for him. You know they call the president 'Potus' for president of the
United States. Well, we call Clinton 'Gofus' for governor of the United States.
He thinks he is anyhow.
Harari: That's your problem in America.
You have no respect for your elected officials. They are more powerful than you
think and they have ears everywhere...
Young: Aw, hell, Mike. Everybody knows
the Clintons want the White House and will do anything to get it. We know about
the cocaine. Hell, we've picked it up before with Lasater when he was worried
about going on to Little Rock Air Base to get it.
Harari: So who are the players?
Young: Clinton thinks he's in charge,
but he'll only go as far as Casey [CIA Director] allows. Me and my staff, we
keep the lid on things, you know, complaints about night flying. Arkansas people
are private folks. They don't like a lot of commotion and Mena just isn't the
right place for the operation. It keeps us busy at the shredder, if you know
what I mean. Dan's the man [Lasater]. He does magic with the money. Between him
and Jack Stephens, we don't have to worry a bit..."
Pretty wild, huh? Stich writes that
"William Barr, whom Bush appointed to be the top law enforcement officer in the
United States, U.S. Attorney General, played a key role in the smuggling of
drugs into the United States. The drugging of America involved the CIA, the
military, the White House through Oliver North, George Bush and Governor Bill
Clinton among many others. Mena, Arkansas was a key CIA trans-shipment point for
cocaine coming into the United States on return flights from Central America
delivering guns to kill people in Nicaragua."
So guess what? If there's money to be
made, the Bush Mafia and the Clinton Mafia work together. "After Clinton was
elected President of the United States, his administration and its Justice
Department halted all investigations and prosecution of the crimes related to
Inslaw, October Surprise, CIA drug trafficking and money laundering, BNL, BCCI
and Iraqgate," writes former FAA investigator Rodney Stich in his book
Defrauding America.
"Clinton had much to hide when he left
Arkansas to assume the presidency of the United States," Stich continues. "His
misuse of government facilities and power to feed his sex drive, his use of
drugs, his coverup of the CIA's unlawful arms shipments from Arkansas and
related drug trafficking, were crimes. The mysterious deaths, killings and
beatings of people possessing information that would expose these corrupt
activities added further to Clinton's problems. He certainly needed a thick
armor of protective officials in government. Fortunately for him, the U.S. media
kept the lid on these major crimes."
Is that what they mean by "don't ask,
don't tell"? Defrauding America contains hard evidence of state-sponsored
terrorism by the U.S. government. In fact, the cross-corroborated testimony of
over three dozen federal agency whistleblowers contributed to the information in
this astounding book.
In a chapter called "Evidence on Top of
Evidence," veteran FBI Special Agent Richard M. Taus recalls uncovering and
reporting evidence of CIA drug trafficking by a group called the "K-Team."
According to Stich, "the K-Team had a front operation with the patriotic
sounding name National Freedom Institute and called its operation the
'Enterprise,' the same that repeatedly surfaced in the Iran Contra congressional
hearings... Taus' team discovered that that K-Team was a CIA operation and that
it was engaged in drug trafficking, looting of savings and loans and activities
related to what later became known as Irangate and Iraqgate."
Another of Stich's informants, Gene
"Chip" Tatum confirmed these allegations. He was the helicopter pilot who
actually ferried Oliver North, Felix Rodriguez (aka Max Gomes) and William Barr
(attorney of the CIA's Southern Air Transport and later Bush's US Attorney
General) in Central America. Tatum describes one meeting to "determine where
over $100 million in drug money disappeared on the three routes from Panama to
Colorado, Ohio and Arkansas. This theft was financially draining the operation
known as the 'Enterprise'... The first call was made by Fernandez to Oliver
North, informing North that 'the money loss was occurring on the Panama to
Arkansas route, and that means either Seal, Clinton or Noriega.'"
No honor among thieves evidently, since
CIA pilot Barry Seal, Arkansas Governor Clinton, and Panama's General Noriega
were all suspected of skimming George Bush's cocaine profits. And here's how the
Dixie Mafia and the Yankee Mob work together.
"Fifteen minutes later the portable
phone rang and Vice President George Bush was on the line talking to William
Barr," continues Stich. "Barr said at one point, referring to the missing funds,
'I would propose that no one source would be bold enough to siphon out that much
money, but it is more plausible that each are siphoning a portion causing a
drastic loss'... Tatum said that Barr then dialed another number immediately
reaching then governor Bill Clinton. Barr explained the missing money problem to
Clinton explaining that over $100 million of the Enterprise monies had
disappeared...warning that the matter must be resolved or 'it could lead to big
problems.'"
In another instance, Tatum described
"flying the group to Santa Ana, Honduras meeting with Enrique Bermudez and other
Contra leaders and visiting a cocaine processing facility. Tatum described the
strong smell of jet fuel and acetone and the large fuel pods that had the tops
stripped off them and in which were fuel and leaves," writes Stich. "Tatum
repeated what Oliver North said, 'One more year of this and we'll all retire.'"
(Or, if not retirement, how about an
"Ollie" North radio talk show? Or what about a run for senator -- on the
anti-drug, law and order platform? The hubris of these criminals is
unbelievable.) "North added, 'If we can keep those Arkansas hicks in line that
is,' referring to Barry Seal and Governor Clinton... As Tatum listened to these
conversations he remembered the army officer's' remarks, 'Tell no one. There's
no one big enough in your chain of command.'"
Hearing Oliver North discuss the
involvement of George Bush and Bill Clinton in drug smuggling, Tatum recognized
the wisdom of this advice.
Besides evidence of CIA drug
trafficking, the book Defrauding America has documentation of the CIA's Secret
Death Squad (SDS) or Experimental Assassination Team, officially called
MACSOGSDODV, or Military Assistance Command Strategic Operational Group Special
Detachment, Department of Defense, Vietnam.
According to Stich's informant Robert L.
Freeman, an all black assassination team was trained by the U.S. military for an
ultra secret operation intended to destabilize Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia --
prior to the Vietnam War.
"Freeman was one of 45 blacks trained by
the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and CIA for the sole purpose of killing anyone,
including U.S. service men and advisors," writes Stich. "He described in great
detail how his group was mentally brainwashed, trained and armed, engaged in
random and indiscriminate killings to destabilize the region and justify U.S.
intervention... Freeman was the head of a five man assassination team ordered by
the team's CIA handlers to kill anyone they encountered and leave evidence that
another faction had done the killings. Freeman said that for several years his
team went on a killing spree, sometimes wiping out an entire small village."
In the book, Stich includes Top Secret
U.S. documents from 1963 and 1964 confirming the assassination of South
Vietnam's President Ngo Dinh Diem by Freeman's team.
And that's history.
The CIA sets up puppet rulers, then
murders them when it becomes expedient.
Ironically both JFK and Diem found out.
Freeman also has documentary evidence
proving that his team was ordered by his CIA handlers to assassinate American
POWs and how his team carried out the orders. Stich writes that "those documents
provided sufficient corroboration to make Freeman's descriptions believable. Not
that the assassination of American GIs ordered by Washington were the biggest
crimes ever inflicted upon Americans, but these were crimes that the average
person could understand."
"Defrauding America" by Rodney Stich is
the Rosetta Stone for decoding a planet-wide criminal conspiracy. It's also an
astonishing contribution to world history. Without a doubt, it will be the most
mind-blowing book you've ever read.
Inside the Bush Crime Family Part 1
December 1999 Part 1. (Part 2 May 2000.)
By Uri Dowbenko

Media ByPass 1-800-4-BYPASS
DEA Video Documents Cocaine Pickup by
George W. Bush
Despite the Big Media Cartel's
coronation of George W. Bush as the
next U.S. President, skeletons keep
rattling in the Bush family closet.
In fact, current U.S. politics can be
described as a high-level mob war
between the Bush crime family versus the
Clinton/Dept. of Justice
crime family for-at the very
least-control of the country and its
drug economy-based assets.
Most recently, the Secret Bush Brothers
Video, which allegedly shows
George Jr. and Jeb with a formidable
quantity of cocaine-an allegedly
controlled substance-has surfaced, at
the same time as the withdrawal
of a purported Bush scandal book by a
New York publisher.
The bogus book scandal might be
described as "limited hangout,"
an agency term for promoting a red
herring story in the media to distract
the public from the CIA's criminal
behavior.
According to LAPD Whistleblower Michael
C. Ruppert, the Drug
Enforcement Agency has in its possession
a video of George W. Bush
and Jeb Bush flying in to Tamiami
Airport outside of Miami, Fla.,
to pick up a couple of kilos of powder
for a party.
Ruppert heard about it from Terry Reed,
author of Compromised:
Clinton, Bush and the CIA (1994). "I was
with Terry recently at
a public speaking engagement where he
reminded the audience
of a little passage from his book
Compromised," writes Ruppert.
"In that passage he describes how Barry
Seal had told him that
he had Ôinsurance' in the form of proof
that the Bush Boys were
doing heavy drugs."
"Thanks to the Ôuc' as under covers are
called, Barry Seal and Terry
Reed were sent on a drug sting to meet
some wealthy Texans,"
writes Ruppert. "It turns out that the
wealthy Texans were
George W. and Jeb Bush who flew in on
the family owned King
Air to pick up the cocaine themselves.
Hidden DEA cameras
filmed the whole incident, including the
tail number of the aircraft
and both Bushes' participation.
According to Reed, nobody knew
in advance who the buyers were."
In a hair-raising finale to the story,
Reed states that he has both
the tail number of the aircraft and the
DEA case file number,
"and he strongly suspects that tape to
turn up during the 2000
presidential election."
Getting the Dope on Bush
CIA operative Terry Reed has worked
closely with the late Barry Seal,
a notorious drug smuggling pilot who
also worked for the CIA.
In his book, Compromised, co-written
with veteran journalist
John Cummings, Reed describes a
conversation he had with Seal
about his "insurance" a.k.a. blackmail,
in case Bush crime family
syndicate would try to double-cross him.
"Ever hear the old expression, it's not
what you know, it's who you
know? Well, whoever said that just
hadn't caught the Vice President's
(George Bush's) kids in the dope
business, Ôcause I can tell you for
sure what you know can definitely be
more important than who you
know," bragged Seal to his buddy.
Reed was incredulous. "Barry, are you
telling me George Bush's
kids are in the drug business?" he
asked.
"Yup, that's what I'm telling you. A guy
in Florida who flipped
for the DEA has got the goods on the
Bush boys. Now I heard this
from a reliable source in Colombia, but
I just sat on it then, waiting
to use it as a trump card if I ever
needed it. Well, I need to use it
now. I got names, dates, places, even
got some tape recordings.
I even got surveillance videos catching
the Bush boys red-handed.
I considered this stuff my insurance
policy," said Seal.
"It makes me the mole on the inside
that's feeding the stuff to me
invincible. Now this is real sensitive
s**t inside of U.S. Customs
and DEA and those guys are pretty much
under control. It's damage
control as usual. But where it gets real
interesting is what the
Republicans will do to the Democrats in
order to dirty up the
people who might use this information
against Bush."
Hinting at a high-level Mob War between
the Bush Family and the
Clinton Family, Seal told Reed that "he
was on a secret mission by
none other than the Agency (CIA) to sort
of dirty up some people
real close to the Governor (Clinton)."
"Now I had been working on this through
Dan Lasater," continued
Seal.
"Now Dan's a good old boy and all that,
but he's got a drug problem
and he's got the b**s to be stealing
from the Agency, too."
Some nerve. Imagine stealing cocaine
drug profits from the CIA.
When Reed questioned him about the
duffel bag Seal had taken to
Skeeter Ward, Seal said, "Let's don't
call it cocaine. Let's call it
neutralizing powder. Least that's the
way the Bush family saw it.
This is just one family warring against
another. Just like the Mob."
Reed claims he found these revelations
"disquieting." Seal tried
to reassure him by saying, "Terry I told
you when I met you.
I'm in transportation and I transport
what the government wants
transported. In this case, the
Republicans, the Bush family, wanted
some stuff transported into Mena and
into Arkansas that would
end up in the noses of some very
prominent Democrats."
Seal was later assassinated.
More Corroboration
Other corroboration of the Bush crime
family shenanigans comes
from former FBI asset Darlene Novinger.
It's a tough life, after all,
to work for the Feds-especially if you
expect not to be stabbed in
the back.
Rodney Stich, in his 1994 edition of
Defrauding America
(www.defraudingamerica.com), writes that
Novinger was a "former
FBI operative, (who) reportedly
discovered during an FBI investigation
that Vice President George Bush and two
of his sons were using
drugs and prostitutes in a Florida hotel
while Bush was vice president."
"She reported her findings to FBI
supervisors and then (was) warned
no to repeat what she had discovered,"
continues Stich.
"Novinger had been requested to
infiltrate drug trafficking operations
in South America and the United States.
She was pressured to quit
her FBI position; her husband was beaten
to death; and four hours
after she appeared on a July 1993 talk
show describing her findings
(after she was warned not to appear),
her father mysteriously died.
A dead white canary was left on his
grave as a warning to her. After
receiving death threats she went into
hiding, from where she occasionally
appeared as a guest on talk shows and
called from undisclosed locations."
Presumably, the long arm of the Bush
crime family syndicate has kept
her in hiding ever since.
According to a later 1998 edition of
Defrauding America, Novinger
was a former investigator for the
Federal Crime Task Force working with
the FBI in an unofficial capacity. She
was recruited as an undercover
operative, and she had the authority to
investigate and report criminal
activities, but not the power to arrest.
She was not paid a salary, either,
but received periodic payments based
upon assets seized or the value
government agents placed upon her
information.
Her success led her to be assigned to
Atlanta where she was involved
with "an investigation that revealed a
large drug operation involving a powerful
Lebanese drug trafficking family living
in luxury in Miami
and Jamaica," writes Stich. "It was
called Operation Nimbus and
it involved the Smatt family, headed by
William Smatt, related to
the the Lebanese Phlangee group."
Most importantly, Novinger said that
"the investigations showed that
the drug trafficking operation involving
the Smatt group also implicated
Vice President George Bush and his son
Jeb."
There is, after all a formidable
strategic importance in having positioned
the two Bush Boys, Jeb and George Jr.,
as governors of the two states-
Florida and Texas-which coincidentally
happen to be the primary drug
trafficking portals into the country.
Stich writes that "the irony of this
discovery was that George Bush was
the head of the South Florida Task
Force. The investigation also
discovered that Bush was being
politically corrupted and blackmailed
by drug traffickers who knew of the vice
president's involvement in
these criminal activities."
Novinger said that after submitting the
report to the FBI concerning
Bush's involvement, orders came from
Washington to stop the entire
investigation and destroy all reports.
Stich adds an additional corroboration
of Bush crime family drug
trafficking involvement. "Before
Operation Nimbus was shut down,
veteran U.S. Customs investigator Joe
Price, had filed similar reports
involving high level drug trafficking,
including the George Bush
involvement," writes Stich. "After Price
had filed his report in
September 1983 concerning Bush's
involvement in drugs, supporting
Darlene's reports, FBI arrested Price on
false narcotics trafficking
charges."
Note to all U.S. Federal employees:
report a crime, go to jail.
Fighting Against the Bush Crime Family
One of the most outspoken anti-Bush
Crime Family activists is private
investigator-Federal Whistleblower
Stewart A. Webb. He claims that
the Bush Boys-George Jr., Jeb and Neil-
as well as George Bush Sr.
are implicated in many top level
criminal activities.
Webb, a political whistleblower on the
highest levels of federal fraud,
has been investigating government
corruption since 1986 and has
produced a series of videos called
"Corruption in High Places."
Webb has uncovered key evidence linking
government officials with
illegal drug smuggling and money
laundering, as well as data on the
Savings & Loan Scandal of the 1980's, in
which an estimated $1 trillion
was stolen from the American people.
In his research, Webb also discovered
the connection between the
so-called HUD scandals in which $50
billion was stolen in U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development fraud and the Junk
Bond Scams/Loan Swaps of Michael Milken,
Larry Mizel and
Charles Keating which claimed over $6
billion.
Since then he has been a prime source of
information to Rodney Stich,
author of Defrauding America (1994,
1998) Pete Brewton, author of
The Mafia, CIA and George Bush (1992),
and Jonathan Beatty, a
senior correspondent for Time magazine.
"The news articles that Mr. Webb
contributed to expose a pattern
of illicit political influence in Denver
and led to the indictments and
subsequent convictions of several
businessmen," wrote Beatty.
Reporter Sarah McClendon wrote in her
Washington Report
(Dec. 24, 1991) that "Stew Webb cannot
lay his head on a pillow at
home because he must keep running from
the FBI which wants to
jail him for talking publicly how
private industry was involved in
raising money for covert action by the
CIA and also how Bush friends
in Denver are involved in using
government housing money for
developments and profit making."
Almost single-handedly, Webb has pursued
justice in a system in
which government officials and judges
have been compromised
through bribery and other scandals.
It's gotten real up-close and personal,
as they say, because Webb's
former father-in-law, Leonard Yale
Millman, a prominent Denver
businessman, has blocked access to
Webb's own daughter.
Webb claims to have evidence that
Millman (MDC Holdings,
National Brokerage Companies) has been
one of George Bush's
primary money launderers for the last 20
years. His fight for a
Grand Jury demand has been stalled.
In a letter to U.S. District Court Judge
Richard P. Matsch, Webb
writes that he has "a Justice Department
Assistant Inspector General
who is prepared to act in our behalf to
assist in the Grand Jury
investigation.
Other government agents are willing to
help. A dozen secret witnesses
can be selected from more than 200
potential witnesses.
They will testify about Leonard Yale
Millman, Larry Mizel
(MDC Holdings), Norman Brownstein (NSA
attorney; Director,
MDC Holdings) and others involved in an
ongoing criminal enterprise."
The Brownstein Connection
Webb has been tangling with some serious
players. Brownstein, for
example, is chairman of the board of
Denver law firm Brownstein,
Hyatt, Farber and Strickland P.C., "the
state's most politically connected
firm," according to Denver's 5280
Magazine (April/May 1998).
"Just how influential is Norm
Brownstein?" asks 5280.
"When Brownstein visits Capitol Hill,
U.S. Senators follow him
down the hall. Ted Kennedy calls him the
Ô101st Senator.'
Bill Clinton takes his calls...
Brownstein operates at the national
level where he is considered
to be one of the country's top five
fund-raisers."
In Pete Brewton's groundbreaking expose
"The Mafia, CIA and
George Bush," Brownstein is named as
"one of the most influential
political fund-raisers in Colorado." He
was a member of the board
of directors of the infamous MDC
Holdings from 1980 to 1989 and
paid $492,000 in 1986 and $280,000 in
1987 for his legal work.
"MDC Holdings is a large Denver based
home builder and residential
developer headed by Larry Mizel," writes
Brewton. "It has gained
notoriety in the saving and loan debacle
for its dealings with
Michael Milken, Charles Keating's
Lincoln Savings, San Jacinto Savings
and most of all, Silverado Savings, the
Denver S&L where Neil Bush,
the President's son sat on the board of
directors."
Brewton writes that "as a lobbyist,
Brownstein has worked for the
junk bond industry, including many
companies that issued bonds through
Drexel Burnham, and he has also lobbied
for savings and loans, including
Imperial, that had large junk bond
portfolios."
Brownstein also lobbied for Lincoln
Savings, controlled by CIA
operative Charles Keating, who raised
money to buy Lincoln from
Michael Milken.
The Grey Men's Empire
Webb also claims that the Bush Crime
Family Syndicate-he calls them
"The Grey Men's Empire"- is responsible
for high level national
corruption that includes illegal drug
smuggling, arms smuggling,
money laundering, insurance fraud,
savings and loan fraud and
murder for hire.
The sons of George Bush, Webb claims,
are also co-conspirators.
Texas Governor George Bush Jr., for
example was involved with
Little Rock, Ark.-based Worthen Bank and
Stephens, Inc., an alleged
money laundry operation according to
several researchers.
Bush Jr. also cashed out in an inside
stock trading deal involving
Harkin Oil. The country of Bahrain gave
this unknown company
oil drilling rights in exchange for a
new air base to be built at American
tax-payers expense.
According to Webb, "George Jr., Jeb and
Neil Bush were all party to
the crimes involving drugs and gun money
laundering through
Silverado Savings in Denver. They were
all aware of ÔPoppy' George's
schemes using CIA, Israeli Mossad,
Homestead Air Force Base and
Mena, Ark., to import drugs and ship
weapons."
In the biowarfare-treason department, "Jeb
Bush controlled the shipping
of 18 strains of chemicals shipped to
Iraq through Leonard Millman's
National Gulf Stream Aviation warehouses
at Boca Raton Airport,"
says Webb. "These chemicals are now
being reported as responsible
for Gulf War Syndrome currently killing
Americans who served
in the Gulf War."
More Criminal Conspiracies
Webb's investigations have uncovered
many criminal conspiracies which
continued to be conducted under the
auspices of what has been called the
Shadow Government-the so-called
"national security" and "intelligence"
agencies. These include illegal covert
drug smuggling, weapons dealing,
and money laundering-operations which
have their deadly roots in the
World War 11 era of the Brownshoe Boys
of the OSS/ CIA.
Harassed, falsely arrested and
imprisoned numerous times, Webb filed
a Demand for Convening a Grand Jury in
1995 "to investigate crimes
concerning Racketeering Influenced
Corrupt Organizations (RICO)
and continuous criminal enterprises,
high treason, narcotics trafficking
into the United States of America, theft
of over $ 1 trillion from
U.S. Government and obstruction of
justice" naming among others
George Bush.
According to Webb, George Bush has
bragged that "as long as we keep
food on their table, gas in their gas
tanks and a roof over their heads,
we don't have to worry about the
BUDsters." The arrogant senior Bush
calls the American people BUDsters." It
stands for Broke, Useless
and Depressed.
That's quite a joke coming from the
former head of the CIA. After all,
they refer to themselves-with no irony
at all-as "Criminals In Action."
Bush Jr's Drug Plane?
The most recent bombshell in the Bush
Crime family scandals has been
discovered by Daniel Hopsicker and
Michael C. Ruppert.
In an article called "Why does George W.
Bush fly in drug smuggler
Barry Seal's airplane?" the authors
reveal that CIA drug smuggling
pilot Barry Seal was murdered by a hit
team directed by NSC staffer
Lt. Colonel Oliver North. The hit team
members revealed this fact to
their attorneys during trial.
Afterward, the airplane that was the
crown jewel in Seal's drug smuggling
fleet, a 1982 Beechcraft King Air 200,
through a convoluted series of
transactions, ended up as George W.
Bush's personal aircraft.
According to Jerry Daniels, Executive
Director of the Texas State Aircraft
Pooling Board, "He used to fly on that
airplane all the time.
He stopped when he became a presidential
candidate because the state won't let you
fly its aircraft for political
purposes."
Was that the plane-Bush Jr.'s favorite,
called "Zero-Eight-Foxtrot"-the
one he used in the cocaine pickup at
Tamiami Airport?
America's Political
Prisoners
A Partial List
Although virtually unknown to the average uninformed American citizen, the
United States does have its political prisoners. But instead of imprisoning
these government agents and citizens for their political belief, they have
become prisoners so as to silence their exposing of criminal activities by
people holding key government positions.
This would include false charges and prison sentences to silence federal agents,
such as FBI, DEA, INS, and others, from reporting their knowledge of drug
trafficking by the CIA, DEA, and military, or any of the other scandals
described in the author's two books, the third edition of Defrauding America and
the third edition of Unfriendly Skies.
These falsely accused people have suffered great harm, as have their families.
But also suffering from this standard practice, involving employees of the
various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice and cooperating federal
judges and Supreme Court justices, are the American people. Because of these
felony retaliation charges and offenses, the American people are kept uninformed
of the criminal and subversive acts perpetrated against them, causing them to
continue suffering the great harm that accompanies the various criminal
activities detailed and documented in the author's two books.
Many of these victims are described in the author's books, and a sampling of
these victims will be placed on this and related web sites from time to time. A
few of them are listed here at this time, and include, for instance:
Richard Taus. For ten years Taus was a special agent for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, working out of the New York City office. He held a
commission in the U.S. Army reserve, and prior to that, he was a helicopter
pilot and highly decorated officer in Vietnam. Many people had seen him on
television in the mid-1970s as the concerned American who adopted a Vietnamese
orphan. While investigating drug trafficking activities in the Pizza Connection
drug cases with former U.S. Attorney Louis Freeh, he discovered and reported CIA
involvement with organized crime in drug trafficking, and the drug activities
that funded terrorist cells in the New Jersey and New York areas. Taus's bosses
at the FBI, and Louis Freeh, covered up for these activities, and when Taus
persisted in reporting the serious CIA involvement with criminal elements in
drug trafficking, the standard procedure of filing false charges against him was
put into place. Federal and then cooperating state officials in New York filed
false charges against Taus and he was sentenced to 80 years in prison. The
terrorist cells that continued functioning after Taus' activities were stopped
included the terrorist cells that later bombed the World Trade Center in 1993,
that initiated plans to place bombs on 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East
locations, and terrorist cells believed involved in the September 11, 2001,
terrorist hijackings. Another web site provides additional information about
this courageous person who became a victim of the corruption in government that
he sought to expose.
Ronald Rewald. Rewald was the head of a large and secret CIA operation
based in Honolulu in the 1980s. This is the operation that took over from the
infamous CIA operation known as Nugan Hand Bank, which was staffed with many CIA
officials and had offices throughout the world, and primarily the Far East. This
operation included drug money laundering, helping to hide Ferdinand and Imelda
Marcos' assets, setting up and funding secret bank accounts for some very well
known U.S. political figures. When the cover was blown on the operation by a
Honolulu television reporter, the CIA and Justice Department filed sham charges
against the very loyal figure head, Ronald Rewald. Many things were done to make
this cover-up succeed, including using the federal judge to block Rewald from
having CIA personnel appear as witnesses and baring Rewald from introducing
hundreds of documents showing he was a CIA agent. Rewald was then sentenced to
81 years for allegedly making off with large sums of money. This is the money
that the CIA moved after its cover was blown. Rewald was involved in
negotiations with Afghan Northern Alliance General Rashid Dostum in 1995, who
was offering to give several dozen surface-to-air missiles to the United States
that were being sought by Afghan terrorists. The refusal by CIA-FBI personnel
enabled the terrorists to acquire the missiles several months before the downing
of TWA Flight 800.
Stephen Crittenden. Crittenden was the head of a secret CIA airline for
about 16 years. In the 1998 edition of Defrauding America, Crittenden details
and documents how the CIA provided him with planes and money, had him carry
drugs to and from various Far East locations in CIA-provided C-123s, and then
when he was given C-130s, carrying drugs to the United States. A sworn affidavit
given to Rodney Stich by Crittenden was entered in 1995 into a federal court
proceeding in Phoenix, which details much of this activity. After Crittenden
became concerned about the drug trafficking and shut down the airline, the CIA
and Justice Department went after him, using the standard false charge routine,
and sentencing him to federal prison.
Gunther Russbacher. Russbacher had a very long and colorful history with
the CIA and Office of Naval Intelligence, much of it detailed in the 1998
Defrauding America. He was involved in the 1960s and 1970s in various covert
activities in Europe and Vietnam, he helped set up the Medellin and Cali Cartels
for the CIA, and were involved in many diverse operations in the covert agencies
where compartmentalization is more normal.
Oswald LeWinter. LeWinter. is another long-time OSS and CIA operative
whose covert activities, like Gunther Russbacher, crossed over into many highly
sensitive areas. Because of his knowledge of highly sensitive covert activities
that at best could be called, criminal, it became necessary to discredit him by
falsely charging him with federal offenses and sending him to prison.
Lester Coleman.
Coleman was a part-time agent for the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA), working in the Middle East under cover of the
Christian Broadcast Network, in Beirut and Nicosia. He speaks many languages,
including Arabic, and was especially useful in that area. During this activity,
while working out of the DEA office in Nicosia., he discovered a drug pipeline
orchestrated by the CIA and DEA, using Pan American aircraft out of Frankfurt.
This drug pipeline was also composed of Lebanese and Syrian drug traffickers. It
was this drug operation that made possible the placement of the bomb on board
Pan Am Flight 103. After Coleman gave a sworn affidavit into the Pan American
litigation, which showed that the CIA and DEA drug operation made possible the
placement of the bomb on Pan Am Flight 103, the Justice Department gang started
their usual sham charges, falsely charging Coleman with a passport violation.
John Carman. Former Secret Service and U.S. Customs agent, he was
harassed and prosecuted after he persisted in exposing high-level protection of
Mexican drug trafficking. He is described in Drugging America book.
James Douglas Alexander, attorney in Montana, who was prosecuted by
federal and Montana officials after he persisted in reported local, state, and
federal government officials involved in drug trafficking from Canada into
Montana. He is described in Drugging America book.
John "Sparky" McLaughlin, senior agent with the Pennsylvania Bureau of
Narcotics, was repeatedly ordered to ignore drug trafficking and eventually
suffered retaliation when he continued to carry out his official duties.
Joseph Occhipinti, senior agent for U.S. Customs in New York, suffered
severe Justice Department retaliation after he continued to report heavy drug
trafficking activities in the New York City area involving Dominican crime
groups and drug money going to U.S. politicians. Among the people receiving
funds from these drug activities were terrorist cells in the New Jersey and New
York areas, including the terrorist cells that in 1993 bombed the World Trade
Center, who initiated plans to place bombs on 11 U.S. airliners department Far
East locations, and who are believed to have funded the September 11, 2001,
terrorist hijackings.
Darlene Novinger, a beautiful contract agent for the FBI, who discovered
links between a major Lebanese drug smuggling family and Vice President George
Bush and his son, Jeb Bush, and who suffered retaliation after reporting what
she discovered. Earlier, she discovered and reported drug offenses by five
prosecutors in Pennsylvania's attorney general office, under Pennsylvania
Attorney General Richard Thornburgh, who was later appointed Attorney General of
the United States by the senior President George Bush.
Bradley Ayers, a veteran of the CIA's Cuba operations and later a
contract agent for the DEA, who discovered CIA related drug smuggling and
widespread cover-up of drug smuggling by groups working with U.S. government
agents, and who suffered the usual retaliation through misuse of government
power and government offices when he reported these matters. While working for
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), his group prepared a report
showing that terrorists would probably use hijacked U.S. airliners to ram into
prominent buildings. The report was--as is normal in U.S. culture--ignored.
George McCullough, a veteran Texas state investigator, who discovered and
reported drug smuggling by key officers in the Texas National Guard, reported
the cover-ups by U.S. agencies of drug smuggling involving the CIA and major
Mexican drug cartels, and who suffered retaliation for making the reports.
Basil "Bo" Abbott, a pilot flying arms and drugs for the DEA and CIA
during the Contra operation, who exposed intricate details of these matters.
James "Taus" Plumlee, who was a CIA asset from 1956 to 1987, describes
the CIA role in drug smuggling.
Gene Tatum, a helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army and the CIA, described
details of the drug smuggling, the involvement of Oliver North, Arkansas state
police, and others.
Rumaldo Salis. Salis was a 15-year-veteran of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS), was falsely charged and sent to prison to silence
his reporting of the DEA involvement in a major drug smuggling operation along
the Texas-Mexican border where a Texas-based DEA officer, allegedly in charge of
the smuggling operation, killed a Mexican laborer who had found the DEA
officer's wallet and identification. As standard practice, Justice Department
and other federal law enforcement personnel, and members of Congress, covered up
for these crimes, causing them to become criminally implicated.
Michael Riconosciuto. Riconosciuto was a CIA operative working on various
deep-cover operations, including those occurring at the Cabazon Indian
Reservation in California. He discovered secret and felonious acts by officials
in the Reagan Administration, including the Inslaw matter (described in
Defrauding America). When he was ordered to give testimony about the Inslaw
matter to a closed-door Congressional group, he was threatened with retaliation
by a Justice Department official. After giving the testimony, the threats were
carried out, and Riconosciuto was falsely charged with drug offenses and is now
in federal prison on a long prison sentence. Some of those implicated in the
Inslaw matter and false imprisonment of Riconosciuto are now in key judicial and
other government positions.
Rodney Stich. Former federal air safety inspector, responsible for air
safety at United Airlines' most senior program during a period of repeated fatal
airline crashes, including a crash into New York City that was the world's worst
at that time. His attempts to carry out the federal government's air safety
responsibilities in the face of a culture of internal corruption resulted in the
usual retaliation. As he sought to report these tragedy-related criminal
activities to a federal court, he suffered further retaliation from federal
judges and Justice Department prosecutors. This retaliation is detailed in the
books, Unfriendly Skies and Defrauding America, and in a federal lawsuit that
continues the pattern of judicial obstruction of justice and judicial
retaliation. End result: September 11, 2001 terrorist hijackings, prior fatal
hijackings, and many other tragic consequences from the corruption and the
duplicity of cover-ups by virtually every government and non-government check
and balance.
This is a partial list of the political prisoners who made the mistake of
reporting criminal activities implicating key people in government and covert
operations that were crimes against the United States and its people. Most of
these people have provided years of information and documentation to former
federal agent Rodney Stich, which can be found in his various books: Defrauding
America, Drugging America, and Unfriendly Skies. More people will be added as
time permits.
This information should be part of a continuing course on the culture of
corruption in the U.S. government and how the American people, by their state of
denial, have suffered the consequences of this endemic criminality.
