For possibly the most regulated industry with the most paper trails they sure have a difficult time investigating crimes involving securities trading.
CIA, THE BANKS AND THE BROKERS FTW, M. Ruppert
Understanding the interrelationships between CIA and the banking and
brokerage world is critical to grasping the already frightening
implications of the above revelations. Let's look at the history of CIA, Wall Street
and the big banks by looking at some of the key players in CIA's history.
Clark Clifford - The National Security Act of 1947 was written by Clark
Clifford, a Democratic Party powerhouse, former Secretary of Defense,
and one-time advisor to President Harry Truman. In the 1980s, as Chairman of
First American Bancshares, Clifford was instrumental in getting the
corrupt CIA drug bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. His
profession: Wall Street lawyer and banker.
John Foster and Allen Dulles - These two brothers "designed" the CIA for
Clifford. Both were active in intelligence operations during WW II.
Allen Dulles was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland where he met frequently
with Nazi leaders and looked after U.S. investments in Germany. John Foster
went on to become Secretary of State under Dwight Eisenhower and Allen went
on to serve as CIA Director under Eisenhower and was later fired by JFK. Their
professions: partners in the most powerful - to this day - Wall Street law
firm of Sullivan, Cromwell.
Bill Casey - Ronald Reagan's CIA Director and OSS veteran who served as
chief wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under President Richard
Nixon, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His
profession: Wall Street lawyer and stockbroker.
David Doherty - The current Vice President of the New York Stock
Exchange for enforcement is the retired General Counsel of the Central
Intelligence Agency.
George Herbert Walker Bush - President from 1989 to January 1993, also
served as CIA Director for 13 months from 1976-7. He is now a paid
consultant to the Carlyle Group, the 11th largest defense contractor in
the nation, and which shares joint investments with the bin Laden family.
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard - The current Executive Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency is the former Chairman of the investment bank A.B.
Brown and former Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust.
John Deutch - This retired CIA Director from the Clinton Administration
currently sits on the board at Citigroup, the nation's second largest
bank, which has been repeatedly and overtly involved in the documented
laundering drug money. This includes Citigroup's 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank
known to launder drug money, Banamex.
Nora Slatkin - This retired CIA Executive Director also sits on
Citibank's board.
Maurice "Hank" Greenburg - The CEO of AIG insurance, manager of the
third largest capital investment pool in the world, was floated as a possible
CIA Director in 1995. FTW exposed Greenberg's and AIG's long connection to
CIA drug trafficking and covert operations in a two-part series that was
interrupted just prior to the attacks of September 11. AIG's stock has
bounced back remarkably well since the attacks. To read that story,
please go to http://www.copvcia.com/stories/part_2.html.
One wonders how much damning evidence is necessary to respond to what is
now irrefutable proof that CIA knew about the attacks and did not stop them.
Whatever our government is doing, whatever the CIA is doing, it is
clearly NOT in the interests of the American people, especially those who died
on September 11.
