-Caveat Lector- http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/20001025_xcsof_al_gores_s.shtml Recent reports in the New York Times and the Washington Times show that in 1995 Vice President Al Gore signed a secret arms deal with Moscow. The deal reportedly allowed Russia to sell weapons to Iran and included illegal kickbacks, intended to bribe individual politicians inside Moscow. However, documents forced from the Clinton administration by the Freedom of Information Act show that part of the secret 1995 Gore agreement with Moscow included more than weapons for Iran. One hidden point inside the vice president's pact with Moscow sought U.S. access to advanced Russian weapons technology. In September 1995 U.S. Vice Admiral W. C. Bowes wrote a letter to Russian Navy Commander Adm. Felix Gromov, informing Gromov of the U.S. Navy's intention to purchase the SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missile. The letter was written after U.S. defense contractor Vector Microwave toured the Sunburn missile plant and inspected the deadly weapon at close hand, all at the invitation of the Russian defense contractor Arsenjev Aviation. U.S. Navy admirals do not write Russian admirals with intentions of buying nuclear-tipped missiles unless someone at the top on both sides has given the OK. Admirals in both services are not known to take such risks without orders. The decision to allow Vice Adm. Bowes and Adm. Gromov to work together on "Missile-Gate" originated with Al Gore and his 1995 secret pact. The Clinton-Gore administration changed the joint Russia/U.S. military program to fill its politically correct needs. In 1995, the Clinton administration balked at the Sunburn price tag of over a million dollars a copy. Instead, the administration selected favored defense contractor McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing, to purchase a smaller, lower-cost missile from Russia called the Zvezda MA-31 "Krypton." McDonnell Douglas, according to the official U.S. Navy documentation, proceeded under orders to help Russia improve the Krypton missile. U.S. Navy and McDonnell Douglas engineers suggested a series of "P3I" or "pre-planned product improvements" to extend the range of the Krypton, improve its flight performance, and enable jet fighters to safely fire the weapon. "The MA-31 (Krypton) target will need (pre-planned product improvements) P3I in order to meet the range and ground/surface launch requirements for the Supersonic Sea Skimming Target program (SSST). The range of the MA-31 target in its FCT configuration is approximately 15 nm (nautical miles) at low altitude," states the 1995 review document. According to the 1995 McDonnell Douglas review, one "extended range option" given to the Russian contractor "adds an auxiliary fuel tank, a reduced drag nose cone, changes the fuel to JP-10 (which has a higher specific energy content than the Russian fuel), and modifies the ramjet nozzle. The extended range modification is intended to increase range to approximately 42 nm at 10m (meter) altitude." Another more crucial design improvement given to Russia, involved "Ground Jettison Testing" done by the U.S. defense contractor against the Russian missile. According to the 1995 program review document, the Russian built AKY-58M missile launcher for the Krypton was fatally flawed and could destroy the firing plane. "Two jettisons were planned; four completed," states the 1995 review document. "An anomaly was encountered during testing of the emergency jettison sequence. The lanyard which, during normal launch, remains with the launch rail and pulls the Booster Safe/Arm Plug which arms the booster for ignition, is supposed to remain with the target during Emergency Jettison. In three emergency jettison tests, the lanyard stayed with the launch rail instead of with the target. In all cases the booster would have been armed, and ignition could have occurred for any of several reasons." "(McDonnell Douglas) MDAC has determined that use of a longer lanyard and slower separation velocity would allow proper operation of the emergency jettison sequence. The problem has been turned over to the Russians for resolution," states the 1995 review document. The problem that plagued Krypton project has also been dogged by allegations of improper financial activity. In 1999 Janes Defense reported that each MA-31 missile purchase also includes a 28 percent "fee" given directly to Russian generals. Navy documents show that each Krypton missile costs $910,000. The 28 percent fee paid directly to the Russian generals amounts to over a quarter million dollar fee per missile. In addition, the extremely high price for the Krypton is almost twice the price of similar U.S. weapons and nearly equal to the original Sunburn missile offer. Russia has already benefited from the Krypton deal. In 1999, Russia negotiated billion dollar arms sales to both India and China for the newly improved Krypton. In fact, according to the new Russian weapons pact with Beijing, China will manufacture and export the improved Krypton under license to the Middle East and Asia. There is a more direct link to Russian weapons and Al Gore. That link centers on a now defunct company named IBP Aerospace run by Judith De Paul. Ms. De Paul, a known Gore supporter and native of Connecticut, set up the international arms firm, basing her operations in London and Washington. Ms. De Paul has refused to be interviewed. In 1995 Gore supporter Judith De Paul, and her company IBP International started doing deals with Moscow at the highest levels. Despite being a newcomer in aerospace, IBP quickly signed several deals with Moscow and Washington. In March 1996, IBP successfully lobbied NASA to lease the "Concordsky" Tu-144 super sonic airliner from Russian bomber maker Tupolev. NASA, according to the contract, was to use the Tu-144 for high-speed test flights. NASA actually published an official photograph of the TU-144 deal. The photograph of U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Thomas J. Pickering, addressing a crowd of Tupolev employees and international media, was taken at the roll out of the newly modified super sonic transport. IBP Aerospace owner Judith De Paul can be seen on the left next to the Russian Army officer. The NASA contract also involved other familiar names in the Missile-Gate scandal. The nose of the TU-144 can be seen in the background of the NASA photograph of the 1996 event. The Russian plane is painted with the U.S. subcontractor logos selected by the Clinton-Gore administration including IBP Aerospace, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Another contract Moscow signed with Ms. De Paul involved a critical part of virtually every Russian jet fighter. IBP Aerospace also became the prime American representative for the Russian K-36 jet fighter ejection seat. The K-36 seat equips virtually all Russian and Chinese fighters such as the SU-27 and MiG-29 Fulcrum. In 1996, IBP obtained a U.S. Air Force study contract to keep the former Soviet manufacturer from going out of business, sending millions of dollars to the Russian seat maker. However, efforts to sell the seat to the western market were less than successful. In 1996, IBP was unable to convince NASA that the huge Russian K-36 ejection seat could fit into the tiny NASA T-38 Astronaut trainer jets. After failing to sell the K-36 seat to NASA, the IBP lobby effort continued in 1999 with the members of the Clinton administration suggesting that the K-36 Russian ejector seat could be installed in the U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor or the new Joint Strike Fighter. According to a 1999 report published in Aviation Week, IBP International reportedly leased facilities in anticipation of obtaining the contract to install the Russian K-36 ejection seat in the U.S. Air Force F-22. Western seat makers, such as U.K. based Martin-Baker, openly complained the "political" process shut them out even before the selection has been made. IBP, according to its website, also offered other interesting items from Russia with love. IBP jointly offered an interactive CD on the Soviet Union in World War II in partnership with Turner Entertainment. Turner also included a two-CD set of the Russian army men's choir singing famous songs from the "Great Patriotic War." In December 1999, BF Goodrich acquired exclusive U.S. manufacturing rights to the Russian K-36 ejection seat and bought IBP. According to the official BF Goodrich press release, the giant U.S.-based aerospace company purchased the outstanding stock of The IBP Aerospace Group Inc., the prime contractor sponsoring the K-36, closing the company. The BF Goodrich purchase occurred amid allegations that IBP was then under investigation by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies. The investigations were abruptly ended when IBP closed operations. The K-36 seat will not enter service inside U.S.A.F. F-22 Raptor but the Russian seat maker took in just enough American aid money to survive until foreign sales picked up. Without the K-36 seat, Russian built fighters all over the world would have quickly become useless, including most of the Russian and Chinese air force. Thus, because of Al Gore's secret Moscow deal, the U.S. Air Force may now need to buy more F-22s. Al Gore's secret deal helped Moscow improve its missiles using U.S. funding and technical engineering. Al Gore's secret deal helped the Russians keep Sukhoi Su-25 strike fighters in the air over Chechnya and Chinese Su-27 interceptors over the Taiwan Straits. Al Gore's secret deal kept the former Soviet war machine alive by allowing Russia to make and sell arms around the world without penalty. Al Gore sent U.S. taxpayer money to subsidize Russian arms makers, helping to improve and develop new weapons that are now being sold to world powers unfriendly with the United States. As more and more of Al Gore's secret pact with Russia becomes public, it appears that Moscow has a good reason to love the vice president.
