AIG's Connection to the CIA, Drug Smuggling, and Money Laundering http://bit.ly/T5nbFh

AIG’s connection to 9/11: http://bit.ly/T5mADH

http://www.kycbs.net/CV05-00030-Witness-Greenberg-Hank.htm



AIG's founding in 1919 in Shanghai as American Asiatic Underwriters by Cornelius Vander Starr, uncle of President Clinton's pursuer, Kenneth Starr: During the Cold War C.V. Starr and T.V. Soong were top mainstays of the Chaing Kai shek anti-communist China Lobby. In other words, AIG's very founding may have had something to do with opium and heroin money funneled through AIG's founders. Hank Greenberg stank of criminal connections, as did AIG/CIA. Greenberg was finally tossed by his very own corporation. More to the point, when AIG/CIA essentially leads the globe in credit default swaps, a pooled gambling routine done by banks trying to squeeze money out of thin air by issuing loans 30X the value of their deposits (and mortgage payments), we see that London (a Rothschild center) lost as much as $150 billion of the AIG/CIA money. ....http://alexconstantine.blogspot.com/2009/10/bailout-of-aig-cia-covert-operations.html.

Behind AIG/CIA, there appears to be a major scam: an extra depth of abuse of the money-for-nothing fiat money scheme of the Federal Reserve--but in this case, part of an attempt to economically colonize the entire world. They couldn't "create" fake money fast enough, so they tried to multiply it all by creating subprime securities (30X diluted paper promises, all dependent on mortgage payments). An operation of the sort is certainly tagged directly to the narco economy--where the morons who do such business tend to aggregate.

And where you find narcotics and stupid Rothschild London finance, you also find black budget rackets. Which may be why CIA/AIG's aircraft leasing chief was so eager to get the SR-71, the blackbird, hung in Washington DC in his name. It was another way of putting fear, shock and awe in Congressmen who passed through the DC airport--as though anyone capable of getting a blackbird for display must be a major (killer) operator. In other words, stand back legislators! And don't ask too many questions.

But when economically wracked taxpayers are forced (FORCED) to spend $230 billion to "save" AIG/CIA, and the 30X fake money scam, they're being told that they have to save Bush's idiot dream of an American empire. That's the bottom line. The plan is to take down all other nations' economies, print more US currency, then wait for "credit" hungry nations to come crawling back to the Fed Reserve mafia's empire. And what is the goal of the Fed mafia?

Thwarting of global justice, basic international law and commonality. A CIA/AIG pyramid scheme 1000 times worse than Madoff, yet including his stash of stolen money (via Israeli banks, off-shore banks and ....).

…have you ever heard a member of Congress ask Paulson or Geithner why we are bailing out financial corporations who have numerous offshore subsidiaries where they can hide money, transactions, and assets…

Here’s some pages from Michael C. Ruppert’s book, ‘Crossing The Rubicon’:

Pg 61: “..It [Enron] ran about 2000 subsidiary companies all over the world. About 700 of them were in the Cayman Islands. There is no oil or gas in the Cayman Islands. There is, however, an awful lot of drug money.”

CITIGROUP:

Pg 56: “John Deutch: Deutch retired from the CIA as its director in December 1996. He immediately accepted an offer to join the board of directors of the nation’s second largest bank, Citigroup, which has been repeatedly involved in the documented laundering of drug money. This includes Citigroup’s 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to launder drug money, Banamex. Deutch narrowly escaped criminal prosecution after it was learned that he had kept a large number of classified CIA documents on non-secure personal computers at his private residence....., a computer which he used profusely to access pornographic websites.....”

AIG/CIA: Siamese twins....

Pg 56: “Maurice “Hank” Greenberg: The CEO of AIG/CIA insurance and manager of the third largest pool of investment capital in the world was floated as a possible CIA director by Bill Clinton in 1995. FTW [www.fromthewilderness.com] exposed Greenberg’s and CIA/AIG’s long connection to CIA drug trafficking and covert operations in a two-part series that was interrupted by the attacks of September 11. Under Greenberg’s stewardship, an AIG subsidiary severely bent several laws in conjunction with the Arkansas Development Financial Authority (ADFA) to establish what many have alleged was a first-class money laundering operation for drug funds arising from CIA-connected cocaine smuggling into Mena, Arkansas in the 1980s,

Pg 67: In that series, FTW reported that AIG/CIA employed in its San Francisco legal offices the wife of Medellin Cartel co-founder Carlos Lehder….Our investigation later disclosed that AIG/CIA had been tied to US covert operations going back to the World War II and conclusively linked to the heroin trade. We also reported that AIG/CIA owned and operated the largest private fleet of full-sized airliners and cargo planes on he planet….”

Obama Expands American Empire with NDAA

Kucinich: Throw out the NDAA, End the Wars and Start Nation Building at Home

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 12/14/2012 - 15:17 in Politics, General + Law(s) Billions to Continue War, Provoke Iran, Shred the Constitution -- All Leading to Perpetual War

Washington D.C. (December 13, 2012) -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today released the following statement on the NDAA:

“Today, this House will send the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to conference. Contrary to its title, the bill does not provide for the protection of the American people. It expands war. It further indebts our nation. It encroaches on basic rights with regards to indefinite detention. It eliminates the basic tenet that due process rights apply to everyone in this country – not just American citizens.

“The legislation also includes additional sanctions against Iran despite numerous reports that our sanctions are affecting the ability of ordinary Iranians to obtain medicine and offer basic goods. Sanctions have thus far not served to solve the impasse or bring Iran to the negotiating table. More sanctions are not the answer and do not bring us closer to a diplomatic solution.

“This legislation also perpetuates the myth that we are ending the war in Afghanistan. We are not leaving Afghanistan. We are deepening our commitment. This bill provides for another staggering $88 billion for the war. The Strategic Partnership Agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan commits us to the country for at least another decade with a $20 billion price tag.

“Finally, this legislation continues financing our bloated Pentagon. The United States maintains 1,000 bases worldwide. Some of these bases are infamous, like Guantanamo Bay. There are small bases to support our drones program. There are fortresses to support our wars.

“The cost to maintain these bases is billions of dollars. Included in these costs are the costs to maintain and run 234 golf courses around the world.

“The Pentagon is expanding their spy agency. The CIA has become a paramilitary organization. We are preparing to support intervention in Mali. Our government’s policy in Syria is incoherent. We are expanding our military presence in Asia and in Africa.

“And for what? For millions of Americans to be unemployed? For millions of Americans to go hungry? For millions of Americans not to have adequate access to education or even healthcare? For millions to lose their homes? For millions to lose their retirement security? For roads and bridges to collapse because we have no money for infrastructure?

“I say it’s time we pay attention to the defense of the American people’s pocketbooks - The defense of the dignity of the American people - The defense of the moral authority of the United States. It’s time to end this state of permanent war. We should throw out the NDAA, put an end to interventionism and begin to take care of things back home.”

How A Handful Of Unsupervised MIT Economists Run The World

Bank of England Bank of Japan Ben Bernanke Ben Bernanke Brazil Central Banks China European Central Bank Fail Germany Global Economy Gross Domestic Product India Japan LIBOR Mervyn King Mexico

Ever get the feeling that the entire global economy is one big experiment conducted by several former Keynesian economists from MIT with a bent for central planning, who sit down in conspiratorial dark rooms in tiny Swiss cities and bet it all on green until they double down so much nobody even pays attention to the game? No? You should. Jon Hilsenrath, of all people, explains why.

From the WSJ:

The same BIS, incidentally, which is an employer of "The People Bringing You Currency Manipulation On A Daily Basis" whom we described in April.

It is also the place where the coordination of all the real trading these days: that conducted by central planners of course. Most importantly, it is responsible for perpetuating the status quo.

As for our unsung MIT heroes...

The punchline: a handful of people from MIT, deeply steeped in economic theory (not practice), the same people whose actions incidentally were responsible for the first great financial crisis, and who yield more power than any potenate in the history of the world - people who, as the ECB showed in the case of Berlusconi, can take down presidents and PMs with the flick of a switch, meet in private. No transcripts or buttlers are allowed.

In other words, they are accountable to absolutely nobody.

Which is to be expected: after all they are conducting the greatest experiment in monetary, geopolitical and social history. If they fail... when they fail, everyone loses.

Every two months, more than a dozen bankers meet here on Sunday evenings to talk and dine on the 18th floor of a cylindrical building looking out on the Rhine.

The dinner discussions on money and economics are more than academic. At the table are the chiefs of the world's biggest central banks, representing countries that annually produce more than $51 trillion of gross domestic product, three-quarters of the world's economic output.

Of late, these secret talks have focused on global economic troubles and the aggressive measures by central banks to manage their national economies. Since 2007, central banks have flooded the world financial system with more than $11 trillion. Faced with weak recoveries and Europe's churning economic problems, the effort has accelerated. The biggest central banks plan to pump billions more into government bonds, mortgages and business loans.

Their monetary strategy isn't found in standard textbooks. The central bankers are, in effect, conducting a high-stakes experiment, drawing in part on academic work by some of the men who studied and taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s and 1980s.

"Will history decide they did too little or too much? We don't know because it is still a work in progress," said Kenneth Rogoff, an economics professor at Harvard and co-author of a book, "This Time Is Different," examining financial crises over eight centuries. "They are taking risks because it is an experimental strategy."

Three of the world's most powerful central bankers launched their careers in a building known as "E52," home to the MIT economics department. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and ECB President Mario Draghi earned their Ph.D.s there in the late 1970s. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King taught briefly there in the 1980s, sharing an office with Mr. Bernanke.

Many economists emerged from MIT with a belief that government could help to smooth out economic downturns. Central banks play a particularly important role in this view, not only by setting interest rates but also by influencing public expectations through carefully worded statements.

While at MIT, the central bankers dreamed up mathematical models and discussed their ideas in seminar rooms and at cheap food joints in a rundown Boston-area neighborhood on the Charles River.

Over Sunday dinners in Basel, which often stretch to three hours, they now talk of pressing, real-world problems with authority. The meals are part of two-day meetings held six times a year at the BIS. Dinner guests include leaders of the Fed, ECB, Bank of England and Bank of Japan, as well as central bankers from India, China, Mexico, Brazil and a few other countries.

The role of the Bank for International Settlements has broadened since it was formed in 1930 to handle reparation payments imposed on Germany after World War I. In the 1970s, it became the center of discussions on bank capital rules. In the 1990s, it became the meeting place for central bankers to talk about the global economy.

The 18-member group, formally known as the Economic Consultative Committee, has only once issued a public statement: a two-line missive in September, promising to look for solutions in interbank lending markets, responding to allegations that some private banks had conspired to manipulate the Libor interest rate.

On Mondays after the dinner, the bankers join a larger group of central bankers at a large round table on a lower floor of the BIS building, which is shaped like a rook chess piece. Staff members sit nearby at desks decorated in white leather. ... The Bank of England's Mr. King leads the dinner discussions in a room decorated by the Swiss architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron, which designed the "Bird's Nest" stadium for the Beijing Olympics. The men have designated seats at a round table in a dining area scented by white orchids and framed by white walls, a black ceiling and panoramic views.

"It is a way in which people can talk completely privately," Mr. King said in an interview. "It is a big advantage if you have some feel for how central banks think about questions, what they're likely to do in the future if certain events were to occur."

Serious matters follow appetizers, wine and small talk, according to people familiar with the dinners. Mr. King typically asks his colleagues to talk about the outlook in their respective countries. Others ask follow-up questions. The gatherings yield no transcripts or minutes. No staff is allowed.

US Working Towards Cold War 2.0?

The U.S. and Russia Are In a New Cold War … And China May Join In

We noted in February:

The U.S. is supporting the Syrian opposition (and see this), considering military options for ousting the Syrian government, American allies Britain and Qatar allegedly already have foreign troops inside Syria, and the U.S. has been planning regime change in Syria for over 50 years.

Indeed, the United States is fighting on the same side as 3 terrorist groups in Syria.

Even Pat Buchanan asks:

If its good for Al Qaeda, can it be good for us?

Indeed, terrorist rebels have been responsible for much of the violence inside Syria. And outside monitors have confirmed that the situation on the ground is much different than it is being portrayed in the Western media. (And according to the large German newspaper FAZ, those recently massacred in Hama were on the same side as Syrian leader Assad).

Russia has repeatedly stated that it would consider an attack on Syria as an attack on its national security. (And Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that if the U.S. invades the sovereignty of countries like Syria, it could lead to nuclear war. And see this.)

Now, Russia is allegedly selling attack helicopters to the Syrian government, and defending the sales because the U.S. is supplying rebels with weapons to fight against the government.

Cold War 2.0. And this time, China may participate.

Of course, Iran and Syria have had a mutual defense pact for years. So war in Syria could well drag Iran into a hot war.

Send us you Stories of Terrorism under Dictators Supported by America! #USAPuppet

The Dirty War (Spanish: Guerra Sucia) was a period of state terrorism in Argentina during the 1970s. Victims of the violence included several thousand left-wing activists and militants, including trade unionists, students, journalists, Marxists, Peronist guerrillas^[1] and alleged sympathizers.^[2] Some 10,000 of the disappeared were guerrillas of theMontoneros (MPM), and the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP).^[3][4][5]

Estimates for the number of people who were killed or "disappeared" range from 9,089 to over 30,000;^[6][7] the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons estimates that around 13,000 disappeared.^[8]

The exact chronology of the repression is still debated, however, as trade unionists were targeted for assassination by guerrillas as early as 1969, and individual cases of state-sponsored terrorism against Peronism and the left can be traced back at least to the Bombing of Plaza de Mayo in 1955. The Trelew massacre of 1972, the actions of theArgentine Anticommunist Alliance since 1973 and Isabel Martínez de Perón's "annihilation decrees" against left-wing guerrillas during Operativo Independencia in 1975, have all been suggested as dates for the beginning of the Dirty War.

Right now Mexico is going through the same degree of rape, pillage, plunder, and enslavement.  All because they are signed onto NAFTA, recipients of World Bank and IMF funds, and directly south of the devil, the other United States in the Americas.  Mexico too, is the United States, but of Mexico.  United under the control of a dictatorship and all powerful oligarchy that murders, tortures, and incarcerates its taxpayers.  

In July the fascist mafiosi who control the Federal government of Mexico stole another election from the people and pretend to call it a democracy, a Republic, a free country, free of foreign oppression and financial plunder.

Meanwhile the thieves hide behind a corrupt Catholic church that betrays the very mean who set Mexico free in the first place.  Maria Morelos and Hidalgo were Catholic priests that defied the Vatican, defied Rome, and defied the archbishops and lead the independence of Mexico from Spain, only to be attacked by the French, and later the Americans via the Rothschild and Rockefeller financed clashes of titans, betting and funding both sides while they do it.

Today Mexico is no longer a free country.  It is the victim of economic hitmen sent from the IMF, the World Bank, Citibank, HSBC, and the CIA.  That drives the guns, drugs, and slave trade in Mexico that is destroying so many lives.  Over 50,000 dead and one hundred times more suspended in fear over the sheer arrogance of their oppressors.  While on one hand "fighting terrorism" and "waging a war against drugs" at home, these bastards that have taken over our governments willingly walk us into the gates of our modern day Auschwitz, prisoners of corporations and debt.  Viva Cocobamba Pendejos! 

Watch this video.  This is the response Mexican people gave to the latest election fraud.

And this one:

Now watch the reception and appreciation Pena Nieto shows his people for voting for him.

Does that look like Greece to you? No, that is Mexico, protesting its fraudulent government.  The New World Order, a fascist supranational mafia is taking over Greece, Spain, Italy, the United States, and Mexico and probably a lot more.

These fuckers work for the major banks, think tanks, and central banks around the world, all of which do the bidding of the Rockefeller and Rothschild led pyramid scheme identified in the classic books Tragedy and Hope and Secrets of the Federal Reserve, and Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

The global trade war, currency war, military invasion, etc is a game theatre where they bet and supply both sides to see who will win.  They pull our strings, tighten our belts, and destroy our lives with their boom and bust cycles and austerity.  Mind games and misinformation, media spin, government propaganda to make us look one way while they rob us blind, leaving us with nothing but debt.  Privatization is the solution.  Take control of your natural resources.  They need to be non-profits.  Not like the Federal Reserve, the IRS, or the CFR.

Don't let Pinche Pena Nieto see PEMEX out from under your feet Mexico.  And don't let the United States provide the weapons your government uses to abuse you.  Legalize, decriminalize cannibis and you will resolve the whole problem and put the guilty thieves in jail.

And this:

Now read "Who’s Behind the Mexican Drug Cartels" by Dean Henderson, published author.  Then come back for more, there is a lot more to read and learn to understand how the drug war is a financial crime and the protests, mass murder, and mass detention occurring right now in Mexico City is due to the election fraud that exposed the fascist mafiosi for who the really are; thugs.

Does an International Banking Cartel Control the Global Economies?

Does an International Banking Cartel Control the Global Economies?  What does the Federal Reserve have to do with America's war machine? What is the root cause of the current global economic crisis? What does the drug war have to do with oil, war, and the arms industry?

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area have become the first motorists in the nation to fill up their gas tanks with an algae-based biofuel.

The fuel, known as Biodiesel B20, went on sale Tuesday at gas stations in Berkeley, Oakland, Redwood City and San Jose as part of a month-long pilot program, according to the San Francisco Chronicle ( ). http://bit.ly/TIbSSH

Biodiesel B20 is made from 20 percent algae and 80 percent petroleum, and can be used by any vehicle that runs on diesel. Advocates say it is the first in a wave of clean fuel to hit the marketplace.

"We are putting a stake in the ground," said Matt Horton, chief executive officer of Propel Fuels, as he prepared to fill the first tank with the algae-based product at a Valero station in Redwood City. "We hope to build hundreds of stations like this in California."

The fuel's algae was grown by South San Francisco-based Solazyme Inc. and already has been used in trials by the military and industrial companies.

It was sold for about $4.25 a gallon at the Redwood City station, about the same as the average price for diesel fuel in California.

"We're talking about fuels that are offered at standard diesel pricing," said Bob Ames, Solazyme's vice president in charge of fuels and commercialization.

Horton said most diesel vehicles could run on 100 percent algae fuel, but doing so would result in higher costs for consumers. He added that many automakers oppose allowing a mix higher than 20 percent.

Horton said the goal is to increase the blend as supply and demand increase over time.

"It really is an access question that we're working to remedy," Horton said. "None of these fuels are a silver bullet that is going to fix the problem and get us off oil.

"It's going to be a variety of fuels. Our task is to drive awareness," Horton added. "When consumers know it is available, that it is priced right and it reduces carbon emissions, they will use it."

Officials say a decision will be made on whether to continue offering the biofuel after the pilot project.

...Biodiesel B20 is made from 20 percent algae and 80 percent petroleum, and can be used by any vehicle that runs on diesel.

Ah well thats a good start.  Eventually we could run on hemp and algae and less petroleum.
