BCCI, Bush, Bombshells...
BCCI, Bush, Bombshells...
Rather than focusing today's thread header on a post-primary discussion, I want to direct you to something that's gotten overlooked during the past week, and that is the article in the Times UK written about Sibel Edmonds.
It revealed quite a bombshell!
I'm going to aggregate the links for you so that you can read up on it without my interpretation.
First, you need to read this whole Times article here.
Then you need to read Lukery's blog to catch up more on what you missed.
And then at Kos, on the current recommended list, Inky99 has posted a great diary with excerpts from the Times article and from Lukey's blog. (That's where you can push the "Recommend" button and keep the story out there.)
Here's an excerpt from the diary Daily Kos:
Chris Floyd describes this story as "one of the most important stories of the last quarter-century: how American officials sold nuclear arms technology to illegal proliferators -- including ideological allies of al Qaeda -- in return for bribes and other inducements. This widespread corruption has been protected from exposure by the highest levels of the U.S. government, which has gone to enormous lengths to protect the truth from coming out. The entire planet has been put at grave risk by the greed -- and geopolitical gamesmanship -- that lies behind this criminal enterprise, which actually is even more extensive, and goes back further in time, than the newspaper's remarkable revelations." <> Floyd ties this story together with the history of the BCCI, past criminal figures, and the Bush family, including George W. Bush:
Edmonds' revelations should be seen in their larger historical context, as an outgrowth of the activities of BCCI, the "Bank of Credit and Commercial International," a supposed financial group that a U.S. Senate investigation called "one of the largest criminal enterprises in history." BCCI was a prime vehicle for clandestine nuclear proliferation, among many other illegal activities, and was also used by the CIA and the White House for various covert operations, including secret military and financial support for Saddam Hussein. It also paid numerous grandees of the Democratic and Republican parties to front its operations – and gave George W. Bush $25 million to rescue one of his many business failures.
Lukery, spread Sibel's recent bombshell across cyberspace. Yet with the pre-New Hampshire primary debates and buildup, nobody picked up on the story.
Some dots that need connecting in this story are of course George H. Bush, John Kerry's investigation of BCCI and the Iran-Contra affair, and Bill Clinton who stopped the investigation into BCCI after he was elected in 1992. And of course, George W. Bush is a dot there too.
Some other well-known names were revealed by Sibel:
Richard Perle
Douglas Feith
Paul Wolfowitz (possibly)And less familiar names include:
Eric Edelman, Feith's replacement at the Pentagon
former Congressman Stephen Solarz.
The dots all seem to lead in the same direction--information that the BCCI investigation was successfully revealing and that Bill Clinton stopped in it's tracks. They also continue in the direction of one, George W. Bush and many still in his cabinet today.
Then there's a different dot to connect. In an article about Bhutto that someone mailed me, the Express India noted that for months before Bhutto's assassination, Bhutto publicly announced that she would turn over A Q Khan to the IAEA. Here's what they said:
Washington, September 27: Ignoring the sharp reaction back home, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto stuck to her stand that she would allow UN inspectors to question disgraced nuclear scientist A Q Khan if she returns to power, saying it will dispel the impression that Pakistan is a "rogue" nation. "...If under a PPP government the IAEA makes a request to us to give them access to A Q Khan, we certainly will do that because the People's Party will not cover up or collude in the cover up of proliferation activities," Bhutto said at the Middle East Institute.
and this is what the Express India said about Musharraf:
The Pervez Musharraf's regime has refused to grant access to the US, which is eager to question Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, after he admitted to passing atomic secrets to Libya, Iran and North Korea in February 2004. Bhutto's statement drew an angry response from the government as well opposition parties including Islamist alliance Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal and Imran Khan's Tehrik-e-Insaf, which dubbed it as against national interest.
Was AQ Khan being protected? If so, by who? In 2004, the news had been that A Q Khan had "turned" and was being forthright in helping us. He was released in 2006, yet serious questions still remain.
This, as you can see, is serious business, involving the spread of nuclear weapons and the criminal involvement of the highest officials in our land. It involves a serious coverup and abuses of power by the leadership in our country. And It involves our relationship with other countries, our policies and treaties with other countries, and it includes the dangerous spread of nuclear weapons.
Sibel's allegations would require criminal investigations and charges for some of the top level people in our government! Sibel's says that the West was infiltrated by foreign states seeking nuclear secrets, and furthermore, high level people in our government turned a blind eye to and worse were even helping countries such as Pakistan acquire bomb technology.
This whole matter is quite confusing. It involves a lot of research into the BCCI investigation that Clinton shut down. It involves more investigation into all Luckey's articles about Sibel. And it includes more investigation and research into the Turkish and Pakistan history and the more recent events there as well. Sibel Edmond's allegations seem to connect dots going back at least 20 years to both Bush Presidents and many in their administration, the CIA, and in Congress.
Clearly, we need to group together, research and discuss this, promote it, and get our political representatives and justice department to take action against those involved. With your help, we can dissect more of these facts and post them in the forum and join Lukery in his goal to keep get the information out there.
As Lukery said...we can not afford to let this get buried and hidden. It's too important.
