MADOFF; THE MOB; MOSSAD; CIA, 'MURDER'

Sonja Kohn, Madoff's and MOSSAD's 'criminal soul mate'.....
Bernie Madoff. Hei Hu Quan pointed out that Kohn looks a bit like Madoff, all done up as a woman.

On 11 December 2010, in NewYork, Mark Madoff, 46, 'was discovered hanged'. (Bernard Madoff's son Mark found dead)

In 2008, Mark, his brother Andrew and their father Bernie were revealed to be linked to a $50 or $175 billion 'Ponzi' fraud scheme.

Mark and his brother had top positions in the business but said they had no knowledge of the fraud.

Kohn and Madoff.

According to Irving Picard, the lawyer recovering money for the fraud victims, Austrian banker Sonja Kohn was a "criminal soul mate" of Bernard Madoff for 23 years. (Austrian banker Kohn key to Madoff crimes)

Allegedly, Kohn ran an international network of banks and funds in order to help carry out the fraud.

Reportedly, Madoff secretly paid Kohn at least $62 million in secret kickbacks.

Kohn, a 60-year-old Austrian ultra-Orthodox Jew, had 'billionaire mobster clients'. (Financier's Life Becomes Crazy Spy Movie)

"With Russian oligarchs as clients," said an Austrian banker, "she might have reason to be afraid." (Movie)
Where is the real Madoff?

Fraud examiner Harry Markopolos (or Makropoulos) said of the Madoff scheme, "When you're that big and that secretive, you're going to attract a lot of organized crime money, and which we now know came from the Russian mob and the Latin American drug cartel. And when you're zeroing out mobsters, you have a lot to fear."

HSBC and its staff have been accused of receiving "kickbacks for looking the otherway while legitimising BLMIS (Bernard L Madoff Investment Securities) through their name and brand, making it attractive to investors". (HSBC 'took kickbacks to keep Madoff in business'.)

Allegedly, Madoff was 'the chief money-launderer for the Mossad's espionage unit in America'. (Cached)

Ken Lay lives in Paraguay and Bernie Madoff and Mark Madoff will join him.....?

Journalist Taki Theodoracopulos wrote the following (GstaadLife: Taki: Madoff's people):

In May of 1999, a very nice Greek-American by the name of Harry Makropoulos, the world’s greatest expert on derivatives, sent a report to the SEC’s Boston office calling the Madoff operation the ‘world’s largest hedge fund fraud’.

My fellow Greek stipulated that ‘my name not be released to anyone other than the Branch Chief and Team Leader in the New York Region without my express permission. I am worried about the personal safety of myself and my family. The report has been written solely for the SEC’s internal use.’

Whom was he afraid of?

Those in the know say Mossad, CIA and Israel ;

I say official Mossad agents acting in sink with CIA, Madoff, KOHN and Marc RICH....

Makropoulos nailed Madoff, listing the back-door marketing and financing schemes as if he were an insider. But the SEC did not respond.

Powerful political voices ordered the SEC not to proceed. I am not naming names because libel laws mostly favour the criminal in Europe, and their names will never get past the libel lawyers.

The largest investors were not Jewish charities as was reported by Jewish-owned newspapers in New York, but French, Spanish and Swiss private banks. It was Sonia Kohn, of the Medici bank of Vienna, a woman who makes Midge Dexter look like Ava Gardner, who involved Charles Fix...

Note the blame-shift in action - Sonja and Madoff were not PART of the Russian mob, but VICTIMS of it. And Hollywood says so. Interesting.....

I think the secret being revealed is that much of Wall Street's "success" was money laundering - the laundering of illicit money, legally stolen money, and totally fraudulent money.

Billions of drug money run through finance accounts to look like legal gains. Billions of quasi-legal pump and dumps - instead of with penny stock using the stock market and IPO markets to make a lot of money fast out of nothing. And Billions in money just printed out of thin air in the form of stock offerings and bonds.

The entire financial system has been swamped by the amount of fraud allowed to go on in the very best offices and under the noses of co-opted regulators that could no longer prosecute those too big to jail.

And the tax avoidance schemes - none of these newly minted billionaires wanted to pay taxes to the host country. So, they laundered the money out of New York, through Tel Aviv and back through Los Angeles in an ultra-orthodox operation that the Feds described as the "tip of the iceberg" yet apparently couldn't get down to the berg.

In short. Our entire financial system is going to implode like a world trade tower of cards... because it is. The criminals have destroyed the wealth of our country through the biggest banks, the Fed, and our completely worthless congress.....

Jews are the best actors in Hollywood. Or better they are the only actors in Hollywood. It would be easy for Madoff to pass as a mad madame from Vienna.I m still waiting for the government to investigate these so called "charities" that Madoff used to donate money to. These "charities" just vanished overnight.....

Obama backed NATO battle plan against Russia....

December , 2010 -- Obama backed NATO battle plan against Russia....

In a stark display of neo-Cold War policy, the Obama administration backed a NATO plan, code named EAGLE GUARDIAN, to wage war against Russia in defense of the Baltic. The revelations in leaked State Department cables are yet another indication of the war-like policies of the Obama administration, which include military threats against Iran and beefing up a U.S. Navy presence in both Chinese economic exclusion zone and North Korean waters.

EAGLE GUARDIAN was discussed at the recent NATO Summit in Lisbon, which was attended by President Obama. Secretary of State Clinton emphasizes in her cable that expansion of EAGLE GUARDIAN to Poland and the Baltic states must be kept secret.

The relevant State Department cables follow:

VILNIUS 533 B. VILNIUS 527 C. TALLIN 309 D. RIGA 514 E. SECRETARY (SECTO) 007 Classified By: Ambassador Ivo Daalder. Reasons: 1.4 (b) and (d). 1. (SBU) This is an action request. See paragraph 10. 2. (S/NF) SUMMARY: Leaders in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are pressing hard for NATO Article 5 contingency planning for the Baltic states. President Obama and Secretary Clinton are on record supporting such contingency planning for Allies. At the same time, however, NATO internal processes and politics make it difficult to openly carry out such planning, particularly if it would require specifying Russia as a potential threat. Nevertheless, there are possible ways to meet the substance of Baltic demands. The existing contingency plan for Poland, for example, might be modified to include the Baltics or generic plans for the use of the NATO Response Force could be exercised and certified in a manner consistent with Baltic defense. We request high-level interagency discussion of the issue to develop the substance and NATO tactics of Baltic planning and exercises. END SUMMARY Why Baltic Contingency Planning? -------------------------------- 3. (S/NF) As reported in refs A-D, leaders in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are pressing hard for NATO Article 5 contingency planning for the defense of the Baltics. The Administration at the highest levels is on record supporting such efforts. President Obama told NATO Secretary General Rasmussen this during the latter's September 28-29 trip to Washington. Furthermore, Secretary Clinton told her colleagues at the September 22 "Trans-Atlantic Dinner" in New York that the U.S. wants more work on Article 5 contingency plans (ref E). The Difficulties ---------------- 4. (S/NF) At the same time, the internal processes and politics of the Alliance make it unlikely that a Baltic-only Article 5 contingency plan could be developed. NATO contingency plans are designed for possible future security risks that are consistent with NATO's General Intelligence Estimate (MC 161) and NATO Ministerial Guidance. While Admiral Stavridis, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), does have the authority to generate, review and revise contingency plans based on changes in the strategic security environment, those changes to the security environment would need to be reflected in MC 161. Without a change to MC 161, SACEUR does not have the authority to develop new Article 5 contingency plans. Moreover, changes to MC 161 are not made by SACEUR. They must be agreed by the NAC. 5. (S/NF) In this case, the Baltic states clearly believe that the Russian Federation represents a future security risk and desire a contingency plan to address that risk. And therein lies the problem. While the exact content of MC 161 cannot be discussed in this message, post-Cold War NATO has consistently said that it no longer views Russia as a threat. Allies, for example, agreed to language in the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act that "NATO and Russia do not consider each other as adversaries." As we saw during the debates over the Russia-Georgia war, many Allies will take great pains to avoid even the suggestion that the Alliance and Russia are on course toward a new Cold War. Countries such as Germany are unlikely to agree changes to MC 161 that explicitly define Russia as a potential threat, preferring instead to argue that the Alliance needs to find a way to work cooperatively with Moscow. USNATO 00000464 002 OF 003 But Hard is Not "Too Hard" -------------------------- 6. (S/NF) Despite these difficulties, however, there are steps that can be taken to meet the substance of the Baltic demands and demonstrate the Allied commitment to their defense. As a start, SACEUR did begin conducting informal "prudent planning" efforts within his own Headquarters in the wake of the Russian-Georgian war. These efforts should continue. Furthermore, the existing NATO contingency plan for Poland is up for revision. We could explore the possibility of revising this plan to include the reinforcement/defense of the Baltics as an element of the reinforcement/defense of Poland. Indeed, this idea was first raised by the German PermRep in conversation with Ambassador Daalder. NATO also has a number of agreed generic contingency plans for the NATO Response Force (NRF), including for relatively high-end "initial entry operations." Perhaps these generic NRF plans can be exercised/certified in a manner that would be consistent with the defense of the Baltics. Finally, we could pursue a generic Article 5 Alliance-wide contingency plan which would be applicable to multiple threats. Necessary for NATO-Russia; Expeditionary Forces --------------------------------------------- -- 7. (S/NF) Baltic reassurance can not be seen in isolation. Our ability to move forward with other U.S. priorities at NATO will be affected by our ability to reassure the Baltic states. For example, our ability to maintain an Allied consensus on re-engagement with Moscow will depend on it. Furthermore, the Baltic states have made clear that if they do not feel they can trust Allies to defend them, they will have to consider developing a force structure focused on territorial defense rather than on expeditionary capabilities. U.S. Reassurance Does Not Equal NATO Reassurance --------------------------------------------- --- 8. (S/NF) The U.S. has taken a number of bilateral steps to reassure the Baltics, including tasking the U.S. European Command (which ADM Stavridis heads under his U.S.-only hat) to develop a plan for supporting NATO deterrence and defense in the Baltic region. While these efforts can be useful in supporting NATO contingency planning and reassurance efforts, if done on their own they could actually undermine our efforts to reassure the Baltic states that all NATO Allies will carry out their Article 5 commitments. Defense of the Baltics must remain a NATO Article 5 commitment, not solely a U.S. bilateral one. Unless consensus can be achieved within the Alliance to take positive steps in this direction, the Baltic states will continue to lose faith in the Alliance, undercutting a key U.S. strategic objective. Washington should not allow U.S. bilateral reassurance efforts to become an easy substitute for NATO-wide efforts. Recommended Way Ahead --------------------- 9. (S/NF) Ambassador Daalder has been having quiet conversations with some Allies, as well as with SACEUR, to see what might be possible. We believe that a key aspect of any approach would be to socialize the NAC on the issue through briefings by SACEUR on current plans and the extent to which they satisfy the requirement to defend Allied territory. In addition to further consideration of the ideas in para 6 above, Mission proposes the following as an initial way ahead on this issue that we should seek to set in train: -- The Military Committee should task NATO Military Authorities to review the current family of contingency plans to determine if they are sufficient to meet NATO's Article 5 commitments; USNATO 00000464 003 OF 003 -- The North Atlantic Council should ask SACEUR to brief PermReps on the status of these plans and on their ability to provide for the defense/protection of Allied territory, populations, and Alliance interests; -- SHAPE should request that each Ally assess its own national plans and national contributions in support of these plans; -- Strategic communications/public messaging regarding NATO contingency planning would allow the Alliance to highlight its efforts to provide for the protection of Alliance territory from the range of threats; -- Ongoing Strategic Concept discussion and seminars should be used to identify new security threats and ways to meet those threats. This process could help build consensus for new contingency planning efforts; -- The U.S. should consider the possibility/suitability of adapting the upcoming USEUCOM bilateral exercise, "Baltic Host 2010," into a NATO deterrence and defense of the Baltic states exercise; and -- As NATO contingency plans are developed, task the development of supporting USEUCOM contingency plans. 10. (S/NF) Mission requests that a NATO IPC be scheduled in the near future to discuss this issue further, with a view to developing a coherent interagency-agreed strategy on how to take forward the President's vision of contingency planning in NATO.

(U) This is an action cable. Please see paragraphs 2-3. 2. (S/NF) Summary and Action Request. The United States is developing a strategy for reaffirming both NATO and U.S. commitment to the core responsibility of the Alliance: collective defense. Examining NATO's approach to contingency planning will be one element of that strategy. Moving from country-specific to regional contingency plans is one potential method. Expanding EAGLE GUARDIAN could be a first step in favor of regional planning. USNATO should engage NATO Secretary General Rasmussen to begin to build support for expanding Eagle Guardian. In early 2010, the U.S. Military Representative (MILREP) at NATO HQ should take the following actions: 1) meet jointly with the Chairman of the Military Committee (CMC), the German MILREP, and other MILREPs as appropriate to urge the CMC to task the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR) to include the Baltic States in the revision of EAGLE GUARDIAN, and 2) approach the CMC and request that he task SACEUR to brief the Military Committee on each of NATO's contingency plans with guidance that he identify any gaps in those plans. We will be better positioned to consider a broader regional approach after receiving SACEUR's assessment USNATO and Action Embassies are asked to engage with appropriate Baltic and Polish officials before December 16 to outline the U.S. position, while stressing the need to keep details related to NATO's military plans confidential. Contingency points are also provided at paragraph 4 for responding to public inquiries. End Summary and Action Request. 3. (S) Washington shares USNATO's goal of a non-politicized process for moving forward. Washington believes that increased public attention on the issue could complicate our efforts to achieve that goal. We need to make that point clearly to our Baltic Allies and Poland, while also underscoring that we take their request for NATO contingency planning seriously and support steps to address their concerns. We understand Baltic and Polish leaders will meet on December 16 and will discuss, among other topics, NATO contingency planning. It will be important to engage with Baltic and Polish officials in advance of that meeting to both outline our support for expanding EAGLE GUARDIAN, and our vision for a process that can deliver a successful result. In discussions with Baltic and Polish officials, Action Posts should draw upon the points below. (S/REL NATO) Begin Talking Points: FOR RIGA, TALLINN, AND VILNIUS -- The United States has taken careful note of the repeated requests by all three Baltic states for NATO contingency planning for the defense of the Baltic region. -- The United States believes that NATO - as a matter of course - should conduct appropriate contingency planning for the possible defense of Allied territory and populations. NATO's Article 5 commitment requires no less. -- As President Obama said in Prague: "We must work together as NATO members so that we have contingency plans in place to deal with new threats, wherever they may come from."-- After spending the last several months examining options on how to carry out NATO contingency planning for the Baltic states, the United States has decided that the best course of action would be to take advantage of the ongoing revision of the existing defense of Poland plan, EAGLE GUARDIAN. EAGLE GUARDIAN could be expanded to include the defense of the Baltic states. This expansion is a logical military extension of the existing contingency plan and fits well within the scenario posited by EAGLE GUARDIAN. -- We would also like to make clear that we see the expansion of EAGLE GUARDIAN as a step toward the possible expansion of NATO's other existing country-specific contingency plans into regional plans. This is the first step in a multi- stage process to develop a complete set of appropriate contingency plans for the full range of possible threats -- both regional and functional -- as soon as possible. At the same time, we believe contingency planning is only one element of NATO's Article 5 preparedness. -- The United States is prepared to work closely with NATO Military Authorities and with other Allies to forge a consensus in favor of expanding EAGLE GUARDIAN to include the defense of the Baltic states, starting immediately in the new year when NATO reopens following its winter break. (S/REL NATO) FOR WARSAW -- The United States has taken careful note of the repeated requests by all three Baltic states for NATO contingency planning for the defense of the Baltic region. -- The United States believes that NATO - as a matter of course - should conduct appropriate contingency planning for the possible defense of Allied territory and populations.

EAGLE GUARDIAN could be expanded to include the defense of the Baltic states. -- This expansion is a logical military extension of the existing contingency plan and fits well within the scenario posited by EAGLE GUARDIAN. In fact, defending Poland necessarily entails defending the Baltic states, as well. -- We would also like to make clear that we see the expansion of EAGLE GUARDIAN as a step toward the possible expansion of NATO's other existing country-specific contingency plans into regional plans. This is the first step in a multi- stage process to develop a complete set of appropriate contingency plans for the full range of possible threats - both regional and functional - as soon as possible. At the same time, we believe contingency planning is only one element of NATO's Article 5 preparedness. -- The United States is prepared to work closely with NATO Military Authorities and with other Allies to forge a consensus in favor of expanding EAGLE GUARDIAN to include the defense of the Baltic states, starting immediately in the new year when NATO reopens following its winter break. -- We do not believe that this will result in any significant delays for concluding the EAGLE GUARDIAN revision. Nor do we believe that this in any way endangers planning for the defense of Poland. In fact, we believe that the planning for the defense of Poland will be much more robust with the inclusion of the Baltics. (S/REL NATO) POINTS ABOUT PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF PLANS (FOR USE AT POST'S DISCRETION) -- The United States believes strongly that such planning should not be discussed publicly. These military plans are classified at the NATO SECRET level.-- The Alliance has many public diplomacy tools at its disposal. Contingency planning is not one of them. What we should do is explore other public steps for demonstrating the vitality of Article 5, such as exercises, defense investment, and partnerships. -- Public discussion of contingency plans undermines their military value, giving insight into NATO's planning processes. This weakens the security of all Allies. -- Public discussion of the plan would also make it politically much more difficult for some Allies to support the EAGLE GUARDIAN revision, creating divisions within the Alliance and throwing the whole project into doubt. -- A public discussion of contingency planning would also likely lead to an unnecessary increase in NATO-Russia tensions, something we should try to avoid as we work to improve practical cooperation in areas of common NATO-Russia interest. -- We believe that the proposed revision of EAGLE GUARDIAN is achievable and will represent a significant response to the Baltic request for contingency planning. -- We hope that we can count on your support in these efforts, including on keeping discussions on NATO contingency planning out of the public domain.-- We should work together on using exercises, defense investment, and partnerships to demonstrate to our publics that Article 5's value ultimately lies in NATO's capabilities and deterrence, rather than specific planning. (C) FOR ALL ACTION POSTS -- IF ASKED Q: Why wait until the new year? Why not start now? A: NATO Headquarters is heading into its winter break, when only a skeletal staff is in place. Our ability to achieve success in this matter will be substantially improved once senior Allied personnel have returned to work early in the new year. We pledge to take the matter up expeditiously at that time. Q: Will waiting until the new year give NATO Military Authorities sufficient time to complete the revision of the EAGLE GUARDIAN? A: According to our conversations with NATO's senior military authorities, beginning the process of incorporating the Baltic states into EAGLE GUARDIAN in early January still gives them sufficient time to complete the revision by February as originally planned. 4. (C) Washington strongly prefers that discussion of NATO's contingency plans in general, and the possible expansion of EAGLE GUARDIAN in particular, remain in confidential channels. However, posts may use the points below if necessary in responding to public queries about these issues. (U) PUBLIC/PRESS INQUIRIES -- IF ASKED: -- NATO does not discuss specific plans. -- As a matter of course, however, NATO does planning in order to be as prepared as possible for whatever situations might arise, particularly as relates to its ability to carrying out its Article 5 commitments. -- Plans are not static. NATO is constantly reviewing and revising its plans. -- NATO planning, however, is an internal process designed to make the Alliance as prepared as possible for future contingencies. It is not "aimed" at any other country. -- President Obama acknowledged this when he said at Prague that "We must work together as NATO members so that we have contingency plans in place to deal with new threats, wherever they may come from."

Ugly Tribal tensions beneath the surface in Jordan

Approximately 70% of Jordan's population is 'Palestinian.' The family of King Abdullah (known as the 'Hashemites') is transplanted from the Gulf region. It was 'given' the 'Kingdom' of Jordan (then known as Trans-Jordan) as a consolation prize by the British after losing custodianship over the Islamic holy places in Mecca and Medina to their cousins the al-Faisals (the Saudi royal family). I'll explain that more fully below.

In the meantime, the 'Jordanians' (the King's family? the nomadic Bedouin tribes from the area who never crossed the Jordan River into Israel seeking economic opportunity?) nearly started a brawl at a soccer game over the weekend. The soccer game was between - get this - a 'Jordanian' team and a 'Jordanian - Palestinian' team:

The tensions reached their peak over the weekend when tens of thousands of fans of Jordan's Al-Faisali soccer team chanted slogans condemning Palestinians as traitors and collaborators with Israel. Al-Faisali was playing the rival Wihdat soccer team, made up of Jordanian-Palestinians, in the Jordanian town of Zarqa.

Anti-riot policemen had to interfere to stop the Jordanian fans from lynching the Wihdat team members and their fans, eyewitnesses reported. They said the Jordanian fans of Al-Faisali hurled empty bottles and fireworks at the Palestinian players and their supporters.

Reports in a number of Jordanian newspapers said that the Jordanian fans also chanted anti-Palestinian slogans and cursed Palestine, the PLO, Jerusalem and the Aksa Mosque.

Imagine that? They 'cursed' the 'holy' Aqsa mosque. Well, that ought to tell you that even they know that the mosque was never a Muslim holy site. It was built atop a Jewish holy site to try to vanquish Jewish claims to the site - a pattern Muslims have repeated all over the world (ask the Hindus in India).

What those of you who have not lived in the Middle East may not realize is that the entire concept of a 'Jordanian' or 'Palestinian' is nothing but a fiction. These people are all Arabs from different tribes and families, but essentially ethnically all the same people. They're less different from each other than the Jets are from the Sharks.

That incident was deemed important enough that US charge d'affaires in Amman Lawrence Mandel wrote a cable about it to Washington. Wikileaks released that cable on Monday.

According to the dispatch, written on July 28, 2009, by the US charge d’affaires in Amman, Lawrence Mandel, “Anti-Palestinian hooliganism and slogans denigrating the Palestinian origins of both the Queen and the Crown Prince led to the cancellation of a July 17 soccer game” between two rival teams, one – Faisali – which “is the favored team of tribal East Bankers,” and the other – Wahadat – the “proxy champions” of the Palestinian Jordanians.

Faisali supporters chanted about the Palestinian origins of Queen Rania with the cheer, “Divorce her you father of Hussein, and we’ll marry you to two of ours.”

According to the dispatch, “There is broad recognition throughout Jordan that the Faisali-Wahdat incident exposed the uncomfortable gap between East Bankers and Palestinian-origin Jordanians – one that most would rather keep well-hidden for the sake of political stability.

“The connection between this rift and the Hashemite monarchy, including the newly-appointed Crown Prince, makes the incident even more unsettling.”

The charges d’affaires said that even the “most forthcoming contacts” were reluctant to talk about the issue, “recognizing that it strikes at the core of Jordanian identity politics.”

One source was quoted as saying that non-Palestinian East Bankers are “uncomfortable with the increasing pressures for reform that will inevitably lessen their near-monopoly on political and social power.”

The dispatch said that Jordan’s “self-censoring media” did not deal with the hooliganism at the game, nor tell why the game was called off. Internet news sites, however, were replete with commentary on the game.

Many on the Internet “defended the Faisali supporters as ‘real’ Jordanians fighting against undue Palestinian influence.”

According to the dispatch, “The King’s silence on the game and its political implications is deafening. High level government contacts and members of the diplomatic community are puzzled by the King’s failure to respond to a verbal attack on his family that also dips into Jordanian identity politics.”

While perhaps unintentional, the dispatch read, “The King’s silence has effectively empowered the pro-status quo establishment.”

And of course, the 'pro-status quo establishment' consists of people who will never allow the dispute between Israel and the 'Palestinians' to be resolved unless it means that they can push their entire 'Palestinian' population back across the Jordan River.

What many people outside the region don't appreciate is the extent to which so much of the rivalry here is tribal rather than ethnic or religious. Sure, there are rivalries between Sunnis and Shia, between Christian Copts and Egyptian Muslims, and between Jordanian Bedouin from the royal family and 'Palestinians.' But the entire notion of dividing the Middle East into nation states is an artificial one imposed by the British and the French in the 1920's. The real divisions here are based on tribes and families (even in Israel by the way - although the divisions here are much, much less sharp than in the Arab world). That's the real reason why this region hasn't known peace for the last 100 years. The divisions among the tribes always ensure that there are new things to fight about....

مع ظهور الدفعة الجديدة من تسريبات ويكليكس، برز احد "الكيبلات" التي اصدرتها السفارة الأمريكية في عمان والذي تحدث عن "بلطجة" يمارسها مشجعو نادي الفيصلي الرياضي واغلبهم من الشرق أردنين، ضد جماهير ومشجعي نادي الوحدات وهو نادي يمثل الاردنين من اصل فلسطيني. ذكر التقرير ان هتافات جماهير نادي الفيصلي في تلك الفترة شملت إسأت إلى الأسرة الحاكمة، وتحديدا إلى الملكة رانيا العبدالله عقيلة العاهل الأردني بالهتاف المشهور: "واحد، إثنين، واحد، إثنين، طلقها يا أبو حسين تنزوجك ثنتين".

كنت أعمل خبيرا إقتصاديا ومساعدا لمنسق سياسات العراق في السفارة الأمريكية في عمان في فترة إعداد ذلك التقرير في الشهر السابع من العام 2009. وإن كنت لا املك رفاهية الحديث عن تفاصيل عملي او اي شيء كنت فد قمت به ضمن مهامي الرسميةـ إلا أنني استطيع القول إنني اذكر تماما أنني أبلغت السفارة الأمريكية في عمان تفاصيل الهتفات التي كان يطقلها جماهير النادي الفيصلي في تلك المباراة، بما فيها "طلقها يا أبو حسين" إضافة إلى " عل مكشوف عل مشكوف، فلسطيني ما بدنا نشوف"

إلا أن أبرز ما يثير الغرابة في التقرير الذي اصدره نائب السفير الأمريكية في عمان لورنس مانديل، والذي حظيت بشرف العمل معه في أكثر من مناسبة، هو "صمت الملك الأردني على ما يحصل رغم وصول الإسأت إلى عائلته".

بعد تسرب هذا التقرير بأيام، هاجمت قوات الدرك الأردنية جماهير نادي الوحدات ليلة الخميس، العاشر من كانون الأول، مخلفة ما يزيد عن مئة مصاب منهم طفل في حالة حرجة، حيث ذكر شهود العيان ومنهم نائب سابق من أصل فلسطيني، أن قوات الدرك هاجمت جمهور نادي الوحدات دون أن يستفزها الجمهور على الإطلاق.

ما حصل لا يقف عند كونه عنف ملاعب، او قسوة اجهزة أمن، فالأمر أعمق من ذلك بكثير. فمنذ العام 2008، تبنت دائرة المخابرات العامة الأردنية سياسية شبه معلنة في عزل وإقصاء وترويع الأردنين من اصل فلسطيني، لأجل خلق وضع للفلسطينين في الأردن، (وهم الأغلبية حسب كافة تقارير وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية)، بحيث يصبحون على حافة الاقصاء والتهميش بدرجاته القصوى بهدف جعل وجودهم في الأردن مسألة خاضعة للتشكيك وبالتالي وضعهم على حافة تحولهم للاجئين من جديد، هذه الفكرة أبدعها إستراتيجو المخابرات الأردنية على اساس كونها ورقة ضغط على إسرائيل لمواجهة ما يراه الأردن توجها إسرائيليا لفرض حكم الاغلبية في الاردن، وبالتالي تأسيس وطن فلسطيني شرق النهر.

هذه السياسة بلا ريب شبيهة لحد كبير جدا بسياسة النخبة الحاكمة في جنوب إفريقيا التي اختلقت نظام الفصل العنصري، الأبارتيد، Apartheid لعزل الإغلبية السوداء عن السلطة وموارد البلاد، وتماما كما هو الحال في الأردن الأن، كانت شرطة جنوب إفريقيا تظهر عنفا غير مسبوقا في التعامل مع الأغلبية المهمشة بسبب أو دون سبب.

إلا أن شأن كرة القدم في الأردن هو أشد تعقيدا، حيث أن دائرة المخابرات العامة الأردنية تستخدم ملاعب كرة القدم لبث روح التفرقة والتمييز ضد الفلسطينين، حيث تحولت ملاعب الكرة الاردنية إلى أراضي معارك بديلة By Proxy تستعرض فيها الدولة الأردنية سطوتها على الأغلبية الفلسطينية وقدرتها على الترويع والسيطرة وكذلك تذكير الأردني من أصل فلسطيني بأنه ليس سوى "ضيف ولاجيء".

إن توقيت ما حصل يوم الخميس الماضي يعد غريبا جدا، فهو يأتي في وقت تتسم العلاقة بين الأردنين من اصل فلسطيني والشرق أردنين بالتعقيد الشديد خاصة بعد إجراء الأردن لإنتخابات مبنية على قانون الصوت الواحد الذي يعطي الأردنين من اصل فسطيني فرص محدودة للفوز ومقاعد معدودة جدا، حيث أصرت الحكومة الأردنية على تطبيق ذلك القانون رغم الإنتقادات الدولية من أقرب حلفائها، بحيث أصبح العرب في إسرائيل، والذين يمثلون ما يزيد بقليل عن 23 بالمائة من السكان، يتمتعون بأحد عشرا نائبا في الكنيست الأسرائيلي، في حين أن الأغلبية الساحقة الفلسطينية في الأردن بالكاد يمثلها نفس العدد من النواب في بلدهم.

كذلك فإن ما قمت به قوات الدرك الأردنية من إعتداء على جماهير نادي الوحدات إنما هو رسالة قوية جدا في توقيت فريد بعد تسريب ويكيليكيس للرسالة الدبلوماسية المشار إليها إعلاه، أيضا، فإن الملعب الرياضي الذي تمت فيه المبارة يسمى بإستاد الملك عبدالله الثاني الرياضي، مما يعطي الرسالة عمقا واضحا لا يحتاج الكثير من التفسير، بأن الاردنيون من اصل فلسطيني الأن يجب ان يعلموا أن أي تعاطف دولي لن يشفع لهم، بل سيوقعهم في مزيد من الألام والمعاناة. فهي رسالة فجة وواضحة وتحذير معلن من قبل الدولة الأردنية لهؤلاء.

من ناحية أخرى، فإن ما حدث ليشير إلى عمق الحفرة التي حفرتها لنفسها الحكومة الأردنية، فسياسات إقصاء الفلسطينين للضغط على إسرائيل تبين انها غير ذات جدوى، حيث ان إسرائيل تملك من القو ة ما يمنع الاردن حتى من مجرد محاولة فرض الفلسطينين كلاجئين عليها، كما ان تعثر مفاوضات السلام الذي قابله مزيد من التشدد الأردني في التعاطي مع الفلسطينين جعل الأردن خارج أي معادلة حل أكثر شمولا او واقعية من وجهة نظر كافة الأطراف المعنية بالسلام بما فيهم الفلسطينين انفسهم.

كذلك، فإن الأغلبية الفلسطينية، التي تتعمد الحكومة الأردنية الضغط عليها الأن، إنما هي عصب حياة الدولة الإقتصادي، حيث أنهم يسيطرون على قطاع الأعمال والإستثمارات كما و تبلغ تحويلات الفلسطينين العاملين في الخارج حوالي الأربعة مليارت دولار سنويا للأردن الذي لا يزيد ناتجه القومي الإجمالي عن 21 مليار دولار سنويا، مما يعني أن تهميش هؤلاء وأفقادهم الثقة ببلدهم إنما هو انتحار إقتصادي لدولة ذات موارد شحيحة وكذلك هو إنتحار سياسي لدولة تملك القليل من الأوراق السياسية لتلعب بها.

كذلك، فإن قوى التطرف العشائري في الأردن، وفي تنمرها على الأردنين من اصل فلسطيني تتجاوز بالامر للوصول إلى التنمر على الاسرة الحاكمة نفسها والإستخفاف بمقدسات البلادة السياسية، كما اشار تقرير السفارة الأمريكية في عمان، وهو أمر لا تملك مؤسسة العرش ألأردنية رفاهية السماح به ولا القدرة على مواجهته في نفس الوقت حيث أن ذلك سيعني عدم سيطرتها على الأجهزة الأمنية والجيش المسيطر عليهما بالكامل من العشائر الشرق اردنيةـ وهذا بحد ذاته أمر وضعت الدولة الأردنية نفسها فيها نتيحة منع الأغلبية الفلسطينية من أي تثميل ولو شكلي ضمن المنظومة الأمنية.

إلا أن الحكومة الأردنية لا تزال تبدو مصرة على الإستمرار في الحفر، معمقة الحفرة التي ابتعدتها لنفسها، حيث ان، دائرة المخابرات العامة هي من يصوغ السياسة الداخلية والخارجية للبلاد، ولذلك فان اي تأجيج او تصعيد للوضع الداخلي سيؤدي إلى مزيد من النفوذ لها، نفس هذا الأمر حدث أثناء الحرب الأهلية الأردنية عام 1970، حيث إعترف صراحة مدير المخابرات الأردني آن ذاك، نذير رشيد- في مذكراته الممنوعة من النشر في الأردن وفي أحاديث مطولة له مع فناة الجزيرة- انه هو ومؤسسته كانا يسعيان للتصعيد بل وحض الراحل ، الملك حسين، على مواجهة الفلسطينين، مما نجم عنه مجازر رهيبة بحق المدنين الفلسطينين في حين بقيت المنظمات المسلحة الفلسطينية على قيد الحياة بل وانسحبت إلى لبنان، وهو الأمرالذي لم يخدم اللاجئين الفلسطينين أو القضية الفلسطينية الإسرائيلين أو اللبنانين، بل خدم الأردن فقط.

ان كافة المؤشرات في الأردن توحي إلى تطور حالة من عدم الأستقرار الذي يمكن أن يتطور بسهولة إلى اضطرابات واسعة، إلا أن هذه الإضطرابات ستكون مختلفة عما حدث عام 1970، حيث ان الفلسطينين في الأردن هذه المرة لا يملكون أي سلاح أو قوة، وهم أكثر استعداد بعد اربعين عاما من الإضطهاد، لقبول فكرة تكوين وطن لهم شرق النهر. كذلك، فإن الدول الغربية و إسرائيل لا ترى بالضرورة في الاردن صورة الدولة المسالمة التي كانت تقاتل مجموعة من الإرهابين كما كان الحال عام 1970، بل ستكون صورة دولة شمولية تنكل بأغلبية شعبها، (وهو تماما ما يسعى إليه دهاقنة الأجهزة الأمنية الأردنية). مما سيدفع البعض الى التفكير في فرصة للدول العظمى لإحداث تغير جذري واقتناص حل دائم.

إن كان ما حصل في مباراة الخميس الفائت هو تحذير، فهو لم يكن تحذيرا للفلسطينين في الاردن وحسب، بل جرس إنذار بخطورة الوضع القائم في الأردن للمنطقة ككل بما فيها الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل

Did CIA set up Paraguayan president in paternity scandal?

December , 2010 -- Did CIA set up Paraguayan president in paternity scandal?

Was Lugo a victim of CIA bio-genetic warfare?

http://article.wn.com/view/2010/08/07/Paraguayan_President_Fernando_Lugo_has_cancer_2/

It is being reported that it was the CIA that requested Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton to issue directives in cables to U.S. diplomatic missions abroad to collect DNA, iris scan, fingerprint, and photo identification data on various world leaders and other government officials....

A March 24, 2008, cable from Rice requested such data as part of "reporting and collection needs for Paraguay" and specifically requested the DNA, iris scan, and other information on leading presidential candidates in Paraguay, including Minister of Education Blanca Ovelar, former Vice President Luis Castiglioni, Lino Oviedo, and the ultimate victor, former Roman Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo.

Lugo, a Marxist Catholic "liberation theologist" was, after his inauguration, confronted by charges from a woman named Hortensia Moran that he was the father of her child. Lugo submitted to a DNA test, which cleared him. In early 2010, another paternity suit against Lugo was withdrawn...

However, the first paternity suit brought against Lugo, after Rice requested his DNA samples be collected, showed that he was the father of a son conceived with 26-year-old Viviana Carrillo. After the positive DNA paternity test, Lugo admitted that the boy, Guillermo Armindo, was his son.

However, the fact that it was the CIA that requested DNA samples on Lugo throw into question the entire paternity scandal episode against the former bishop. Lugo, a progressive Latin American ally of Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, and Rafael Correa -- all targets of U.S.-inspired coups and unrest, was weakened not only by the paternity scandal but also by his sudden diagnosis earlier this year with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The CIA's "Frankenstein science" of MK-ULTRA and MK-DELTA mind control, chip-implanted assassins, LSD experimentation on innocent human guinea pigs, exotic assassination weapons, methods and Modus Operandi..., creating and using the infamous White House Murder/assassinations INC, worldwide but especially in the Levant since January 24th 2002, in a joint venture with Asef SHAWKAT from Syria's military Intelligence in a string of assassinations in Lebanon and Syria...., pathogenic weapons development, and other criminal research against humanity are well-known and well-documented. However, the CIA's request for DNA samples on world leaders may be an indication that the CIA has changed the game and is now involved in bio-genetic weapons research and deployment...

The CIA's Technical Services Division, once headed by the infamous Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, has been accused of research into fast-acting cancer and other bio-weapons that were to have been used against world leaders, including Y. Arafart and Patrice Lumumba.

As a result of break-throughs in gene-synthesism, DNA samples can also be cloned and used to frame individuals for various crimes and other purposes....[ STL included...] The CIA has a long history of using blackmail, extortion, and false flag tactics in their clandestine operations....

The CIA has trained assassins who have murdered priests, nuns, and the Archbishop of San Salvador. President Lugo may have been another convenient Catholic target for the CIA's "weird science" practitioners. And with Rice's and Clinton's imprimaturs on the leaked State Department cables directing the collection of DNA samples for the CIA's program, that makes Rice and Clinton no less guilty of committing war crimes than the Nazis who were tried at Nuremberg....

Why 80 Percent of Americans Don't Believe the Official Theory of 911

http://www.bollyn.com/index.php#article_12617

http://www.jewishracism.com/interviews.htm

by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

http://www.yousufnazar.com/?p=1156

These days, Bush's only defenders with respect to 911 are 1) paid liars and hard cases left over from his utterly criminal and illegitimate administration; and 2) idiots whose only source of 'news' is Fox. Fox 'news', however, is an oxymoron, appropriate I suppose for a network of morons in service to morons.
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/12/06/gordon-duff-why-wikileaks-doesnt-add-up/

Bush, it is said, could not have pulled off 911 alone. Of course not! A total tool, it most certainly was not even his idea. He was the 'titular' head of a loosely organized gang of power brokers and the motley crew of wing nuts who support them. God knows why!

http://truthjihadradio.blogspot.com/2010/12/truth-jihad-radio-exclusive-person-in.html

Bush was and probably still is a puppet but not a good one. When the real history is known, we may find ourselves eternally grateful to Bush whose utter incompetence, his palpable stupidity, his painful, hardly bearable inarticulateness revealed however inadvertently the truth about how our nation was usurped by an ever smaller ruling elite. Last time I checked this 'elite' was only 1 percent of the total population and most surely diminishing. One day, they will have put themselves out of business. In theory, at least!

Nevertheless, it was under Bush that several wars --some phony, some real --were fought on their behalf. The most obvious war was the one with the phony name: 'War on Terrorism', a classic misnomer. It is more accurately described as the 'War of Oil and Resource Theft'. I suppose that we were expected to believe that God himself intervened with 911 and gave Bushco the pretext it would need to attack and invade those nations having precisely those resources that had been most coveted by the Dick, otherwise called 'Cheney'.
Those having knowledge and/or participating with Dick Cheney in any way most probably have guilty knowledge of the method by which a pretext to attack and invade the Middle East was obtained.

Some of those having this 'guilty knowledge' include Marvin Bush who was in charge of WTC security. He was in a position to help plan it. Had there been a real investigation of the crime of 911, he would have been a prime suspect. As head of WTC 'security', Marvin would have been a position to know about, perhaps direct, the placement of explosive making possible a series of obvious controlled demolitions that provided the pre-text Bushco required to seize the resources for sponsors like Halliburton et al.

The weakest leak is Larry Silverstein who let the cat out of the bag. WTC 7 was 'pulled' he said on video tape and it was Larry that gave the order! Within about 15 minutes, his order was carried out. A controlled demolition! Two facts put 'Lucky' in a bad light: 1) it takes considerably more than 15 minutes to prep a 47 story building for demolition; 2) 'Lucky' was financially upside down with the acquisition of the WTC 'white elephants'. An insurance pay-off conveniently bailed him out. Lucky, indeed!

The Dancing Israelis

I believe that the 'Dancing Israelis' were Mossad Agents. On broadcast TV, they boasted that they had gone to New York for the purpose of 'documenting' the event now called 911. That's guilty foreknowledge, probable cause to investigate 911 and everyone connected with it it starting with the prescient Israelis.

Dick Cheney's 'Energy Task Force', in fact, met prior to 911 for the purpose of carving up the oil fields of Iraq. They would need a pre-text! Were they 'prescient'? If not, that event speaks to 'motive'. Dick Cheney's Halliburton got almost all the contracts from the Bush admin just as did I.G. Farben, Thyssen et al from Hitler prior to his invasion of Poland. It's the fascist/Nazi way.Essential 911 boils down to this:

• The Bush Official Conspiracy Theory of 911 is utterly impossible by science and circumstance. It did not happen!
  
• Even members of the 911 Commission, prominently John Farmer now DISOWN the 911 Commission Report and that of the NIST. Both are works of pure fiction, ignore established peer-reviewed physics and ignore the glaring holes in the official cover.

When you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, however implausible, must be the truth!

Apologies to Sherlock Holmes! At last --who benefits? The truth is simply this: 911 was an inside job, a Mossad-CIA operation on behalf of a crooked coalition to include big oil, Halliburton, of course. All of them benefited!

If the MSM had been doing its job, good folk like my friends Dr. David Griffin and Kevin Barrett would have an easier time of it. Initially, the Bush admin utilized its 'leverage' throughout the corporate media to shut up the opposition. The most egregious tactic was to impugn the patriotism of anyone daring to point out the fact that the official theory is impossible for many reasons not the least of which is that it defies the basic laws of physics.

Physics, of course, is no longer taught in schools,. As the GOP has risen in power and influence, educational standards declined. That is the verifiable record of GOP failure in Texas which --as a result of the back to back Bush/Perry debacles now trails the nation in high school graduations.

It is hard to make the case that the official theory defies the laws of physics to millions whohave have never darkened the door of a high school, let alone a university physics lab. The GOP is 'anti-intellectual' for a reason. Mass ignorance as a result of their domination of the media and their overt subversion of education are effective covers for their many crimes....

CIA/MOSSAD/MI6 invented Al-CIAda....

Al Qaeda was a U.S. creation, specifically a product of inverted right wing psuedo logic. If 'al Qaeda' did not exist, never mind --the shills would invent it and cite it to justify wars abroad, crackdowns on freedom at home! They would bestow upon it a virtual existence via press releases, propaganda and outright lies --deliberate attempts to mislead the American people!

Bin Laden should pay royalties to the U.S. right wing if, indeed, he ever benefited from his new found celebrity, his holographic 'creation' by the mass media, his elevation to arch-enemy status! His is falsely characterized as the 'mega-terrorist' brain behind a sinister world terrorist organization resembling an octopus with tentacles in every real or fictitious terrorist attack. There had not been anything like it since Bond fought SPECTRE --an evil terrorist organization specializing in terrorism and extortion. In the Bushco rewrite the part of Blofeld is played by Bin Laden.

It was a crock!

It was the CIA which bestowed upon Bin Laden himself his near mythical image of sinister master terrorist who commanded a vast world wide network from deep inside a cave in Tora Bora. This was all really, really bad fiction. Many Hollywood producers would have laughed out of their offices anyone daring to pitch it! It was, it seems, a very, very bad rewrite of Ala Baba and his 40 thieves. Ali, like Binny, lived in a cave but --alas --did not have cell phones. But neither did Bin Laden. The immediate acceptance of the Bush official conspiracy theory proves the diminishing IQs of those who insist upon believing it. The consolation is this: the CIA has no future in Hollywood!

A bad b-movie!

According to the official version of the lie (charitably: the 'myth') goes something like this: the CIA and the Saudis are said to have funded and armed Bin Laden throughout the 80s. His mission impossible: wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. In fact, Bin Laden was working for the CIA....

Simply --Al-Qaeda means 'the base'; in this case --the computer data base of thousands of mujahideen trained and recruited by the CIA. The mission: defeat the Russians. This is cold war James Bond stuff and, in some cases, a just a bad rewrite. Life imitates spy movies.

The problem has become apparent over time: Washington did not know what to do with this 'database', this network that had become obsolete with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It obviously never occurred to DC spooks and/or analysts that with the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, Ala Baba, uh, Bin Laden would focus upon U.S. imperialism throughout the Middle East! But did he? More likely --he was just the convenient scapegoat for an inside job that would become the pre-text, the boogie-man to be cited as justifying a war for the oil resources of Iraq, the poppy (opium) resources of Afghanistan and TAPI.....

The source for how 'al Qaeda' got its name is Sir Robin Cook, the former British Foreign Secretary. In order to protest the British connection to this sorry story, Cook resigned his job.
