SPECIAL REPORT. Proof of white supremacist and extreme right-wing penetration of Federal regulatory agencies emerges.
December 19, 2005 -- SPECIAL REPORT. Proof of white supremacist and extreme right-wing penetration of Federal regulatory agencies emerges. WMR has obtained a copy of a July 1986 newsletter from the Conservative Network, which shows that there was attempt to use the Confederate Memorial Museum in Washington, DC to hold a honorary reception for "Freedom Fighter Groups" tied to the International Freedom Forum led by Jack Abramoff and funded by South Africa's apartheid government.

According to those familiar with the Conservative Network, it was the template for the future "K Street Project," an attempt to purge the Federal government, including Federal regulatory agencies, as well as lobbying firms, law firms, and media of liberals and replace them with right-wing functionaries. This has resulted in the infiltration of the Federal government by individuals associated with white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizations.
The Conservative Network was headed by retired Rear Admiral James Carey, who, at the same time he was a member of the Federal Maritime Commission, was asked by the Reagan White House Office of Presidential Personnel to "establish a professional forum for the Senate Confirmed Presidential Appointees to regularly meet, socialize, network and communicate with one another." Carey became Vice Chairman of the FMC in 1985 and was appointed by George H. W. Bush as chairman in 1989. Carey's appointment was handled by J. Michael Farrell, the Deputy Director of the Office of Presidential Personnel for Boards and Commissions. One of Farrell's other nominations was that of Kenneth Tomlinson as chairman of the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science, which Farrell also chaired under George H. W. Bush. Tomlinson recently resigned as the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after it was discovered he hired outside right-wing consultants to develop a black list of suspected "liberals," including Bill Moyers, Diane Rehm, and Tavis Smiley.
Carey is a big time player in extreme right-wing GOP politics. He has also been involved in some internecine warfare within Freemasonry. He also served on the board of Media Fusion, a Dallas-based wireless company, along with former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe and former House Speaker Robert Livingston.
Carey is also the head of the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program, which was complemented by White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card. The Fellowship program is currently advertising positions with the right-wing Heritage Foundation, Departments of Commerce and Navy, House of Representatives Sergeant-at-Arms, and the National Transportation Safety Board.
Retired Rear Adm. James Carey: One of the godfathers of the right-wing attempt to purge the government of "leftists" and "liberals."
Carey placed importance on interns in his 1986 Conservative Network newsletter: "These young people are the future of the conservative cause. They are the leaders of the future."
In the early 1980s, one of those young people was Abramoff, the head of the College Republicans. In his 1983 annual report, Abramoff stated, "It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently." This was to become the focus of the Conservative Network and the follow-on K Street Project.
In November 2003, Carey launched the National Defense Committee and an associated National Defense PAC with the following rhetorical statement, "The leftists and anarchists are mobilizing and they just don’t get it . . . They are undermining our President and Department of State, as well as a possible United Nations coalition and playing right into Sadaam Hussein’s hands. We are forming the National Defense Committee to support President Bush . . ."
In 1985, the Conservative Network found a sugar daddy in drug store magnate Lew Lehrman who helped Abramoff and his colleague Grover Norquist to set up Citizens for America, which put on a summit of "freedom fighters" in Jamba, deep in the Angolan bush. The meeting was attended by Angolan UNITA guerrillas, Nicaraguan contras, Laotian tribesmen, and Afghan mujaheddin, some having connections to Osama Bin Laden. The Conservative Network also included Abramoff Indian casino money laundering colleague, former Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed.
WMR previously reported that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has been turned into a $3 trillion slush fund by the Bush administration to finance GOP politicians and Bush business associates. We can now report on similar slush fund activities with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) -- activities that are permitting funds from Indian casinos to be laundered to support various right-wing causes and GOP political activities, including the maintenance of a 10,000-name Bush White House "enemies' list" by private entities -- a database to which key GOP operatives have access.
John Edward Hurley, the President of the Confederate Memorial Association, was the head of the Confederate Memorial Hall museum and who was retaliated against after he refused the International Freedom Fighters to use the museum for right-wing political gatherings, including the one advertised by Carey in the July 1986 Conservative Network newsletter.
An August 31, 2005 press release by the Confederate Memorial Association describes the involvement of a number of right-wing operatives in the use of NCUA as a right-wing slush fund, including Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts:
"John Edward Hurley, president of the Confederate Memorial Association which owned and operated the only Confederate museum in the nation's capital, said that ongoing litigation against his association had been traced to Contra supporters and present and former employees in the general counsels office of the National Credit Union Administration. Moreover, Hurley said that evidence indicated that a $500,000 political slush fund was being covered up.
Hurley said a court order approving a $15,000 fraudulent legal bill, after being issued nearly two years ago, was mysteriously submitted to the bank last week. A two-year lapse in collecting court ordered fees is unheard of, and Hurley contends that this shows that the White House is concerned about illegal NCUA activities being exposed while Roberts represented the group.
A 'Freedom Fighter' fundraiser was scheduled after Roberts had made several recommendations on the subject while he was in the White House Counsels office. Moreover, Carl 'Spitz' Channell and Richard Miller, who were raising private funds for the Contras, had met in the White House to ask support for the Contras (as the Walsh Iran/Contra Report noted).
After the Roberts memos counseled that Contra fundraising should be held outside the White House, a 'Freedom Fighter Night' was scheduled on July 12, 1986 to be held in October of 1986 at Confederate Memorial Hall. Hurley said that he cancelled the October event. However, prior to this, a previous reception at the Hall had been attended by White House personnel. Hurley added that the invitation to the October event was sent from the Capital Yacht Club.
Roberts represented the National Credit Union Administration when he was with Hogan and Hartson. In 1997, Roberts argued the NCUA case before the Supreme Court, which dealt with expanding the banking market for credit unions. In that case, Robert M. Fenner was listed as counsel for the NCUA with Roberts.
Hurley said that Fenner had employed David Eno as the head of his fraud hotline operation at NCUA. According to Hurley, Eno was a commander of the Jefferson Davis Camp No. 305 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, an organization that sued the Confederate Memorial Association.
Kirk Lyons, an attorney who has represented the KKK and the Aryan Nation, is an officer in the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Eno and Richard Hines, another commander of the Jefferson Davis Camp and the husband of White House Domestic Policy advisor Patricia Hines, were behind the litigation against the Confederate Memorial Association. [Note: the Sons of Confederate Veterans also maintained a "camp" named after Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth. Richard Hines is the head of RTH Consulting, the firm that has signed lucrative deals with Gambia and an oil-rich southern Nigerian state. His activities in Gambia coincide with those of Russian arms smuggler Viktor Bout and two mysterious aircraft companies linked to CIA activities, World Air Leasing and West African Link. The latter, a World Air subsidiary, has recently started direct air services between Banjul and New York and Washington, as well as Brussels, Guinea, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, and Mali]. Gabon has also been involved with slush fund activities of Abramoff.]
Hurley said that the mysterious political funding that was used in the litigation against his organization was also used for the annual Confederate ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. He charged that the funds were part of a secret political slush fund that was wired overnight through a bank in Charlotte by Department of Energy attorney Stephen Page Smith.
The funds were traced to the Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union in Gaithersburg, Maryland which was regulated by Roberts' client, the NCUA.
A subpoena for this account was quashed by D.C. Superior Court Judge John H. Bayly. The motion to quash was submitted to Judge Bayly by attorney Stephen Bisker, a former employee of NCUA's Robert Fenner and current contractor for the NCUA who works for a major credit union auditing firm.
Hurley also believes that another $500,000 of illegal political donations from the American Defense Institute may now be in the account, noting that attorney Thomas L. O'Neill was on the ADI board and was another attorney litigating against Mr. Hurley's association.
Alan Rothenberg, yet another attorney litigating against the Confederate Memorial Association, is the treasurer of the U.S. Premier Federal Credit Union. The president of the USPFCU was Randolph Earnest, assistant to Ambassador David A. Gross, U.S. Coordinator for International Communications and Information Policy at the State Department and the former executive director of Lawyers for Bush-Cheney, a group that worked with Roberts during the 2000 election.
Roberts also represented the National Mining Association. Hurley say that Herbert Harmon, the chief lawyer in the massive litigation against the Confederate Memorial Association, uses his home as a contact address for the Rio Tinto mining operation, the largest in the world. [Note: Rio Tinto was connected to the attempted invasion of Papua New Guinea's Bougainville island, where it had major mining interests, and British mercenary's Sandline International. Spicer now heads Aegis Defense Services, which has been charged with carrying out war crimes in occupied Iraq].
The high-profile Confederate ceremonies in Arlington National Cemetery are held in June and are attended by such notables as Richard B. Abell, a former Department of Justice Assistant Secretary in charge of the Office of Justice Programs and current magistrate for the U.S. Court of Claims; Nicholas D. Ward, who serves on the Probate and Fiduciary Rules Advisory Committee of the D.C. Superior Court; and Robert Wilkie, who currently serves on the National Security Council staff at the White House.
Another prominent lawyer supporting the legal action against Hurley is Col. Jeffrey Addicott, former senior legal counsel for the Special Forces and current director of the Center for Terrorism Law.
When Judge Bayly jailed Hurley in 1997 for objecting to the quashing of the subpoena for the Mid-Atlantic account which Hurley believes to be at the behest of the NCUA, Hurley sold the century-old D.C. museum. The strange motion to quash "by someone other than the holder of the account shows a massive fraud and an obstruction of justice in his case," Hurley said.
Hurley cited a Maryland trial that continues this week as an example of the perilous consequences of dealing with white supremacists. The trial involves the largest arson in the history of the state. All of the burned homes in Charles County belonged to blacks. The chief witness against the Confederate Memorial Association was Lewis Doherty, who is now listed as an organizer of the neo-Nazi National Alliance that was distributing white supremacist literature in Charles County prior to the arsons. [Note, the burning of the homes was in Indian Head, Maryland, close to Waldorf, where former NSA analyst Kenneth Ford lives. Ford's cousin, Yolanda Gibson-Michaels, who worked in the legal division of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), made similar charges of racism and political slush fund activity there and at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)]
It is noteworthy that the NCUA's Chairman, JoAnn Johnson, is a GOP activist, having previously served as an Iowa state senator. The head of the Credit Union National Association is Dan Mica, a former GOP Congressman from Florida. There is also renewed interest in the strange beating death of top SEC counsel Eric Miller in a seedy Alexandria, Virginia motel room. As WMR reported on Oct. 14, 2005, "Eric Miller, a Harvard Law School graduate and the Assistant Chief of Litigation for the SEC from 1999 to May 2005, was beaten to death on September 7, 2005 in the Alexandria Motel on Route 1. Miller, an African American, was reported to have fallen on bad times and taken up with two white crack users."
