[cia-drugs] Lockerbie Trial Document: Susan Lindauer Deposition
http://www.meib.org/articles/0007_me2.htm Jointly published by the United States Committee for a Free Lebanon and the Middle East Forum Vol. 2 No. 6 Table of Contents MEIB Main Page 1 July 2000 Lockerbie Trial Document: Susan Lindauer Deposition 4 December 1998 Last month, MEIB reported that Dr. Richard Fuisz, a major CIA operative in Syria during the 1980s, met with a congressional staffer by the name of Susan Lindauer in 1994 and told her that that the perpetrators of the December 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland were based in Syria [see "The Lockerbie Bombing Trial: Is Libya Being Framed?" Middle East Intelligence Bulletin, June 2000]. One month after their meeting, the Clinton administration, which holds Libya responsible for the bombing, placed a gag order on Dr. Fuisz to prevent him from publicly discussing the issue. While Dr. Fuisz is still unable to comment on this matter because of the gag order, MEIB has obtained a copy of a formal deposition filed by Lindauer in 1998 in which she recounts this conversation in detail. This deposition (see below) has been submitted to the court in which two Libyan suspects are currently on trial and to U.N. officials, who have attempted to persuade the Clinton administration to lift the gag order on Dr. Fuisz. Lindauer says that she has been subject to intense surveillance, threats, and attacks since she began meeting with Libyan officials in 1995 to discuss her knowledge of the Lockerbie bombing. "Someone put acid on the steering wheel of my car on a day I was supposed to drive to NYC for a meeting at the Libya House. I scrubbed my hands with a toilet brush, but my face was burned so badly that 3 weeks later friends worried I might be badly scarred," Lindauer told MEIB. "Also, my house was bugged with listening devices and cameras -- little red laser lights in the shower vent. And I survived several assassination attempts." She has agreed to publish her email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], along with this deposition so that journalists, researchers and others interested in learning more about this issue can contact her. Text of Deposition My name is Susan Lindauer. I reside in Silver Spring, Maryland, one of the suburbs outside the District of Columbia in the United States of America. At the time these events took place, I was living inside the District of Columbia, at 1002 C Street NE on Capitol Hill. In offering this deposition, I hereby inform the court and all interested parties at the United Nations that I have never accepted any financial compensation from any of the individuals, or governments involved in this case, in any form of cash or non-cash payment. Furthermore, I have never solicited nor received promise of future payments in exchange for this testimony. My reasons for coming forward reflect my own deepest personal values, and my sense of obligation to the cause of international peace and security. I remain deeply persuaded that justice must never be confused with convenience or political scapegoating, and that the issues of this case, including the prosecution of terrorist activities and the imposition of sanctions that seek to isolate an entire Arabic population, are too important in this contemporary age for a lie to stand unchallenged. And so let it be understood by the court: I make these statements of my own free will, out of respect to my own conscience and sense of obligation as a world citizen. This deposition pertains to my direct and immediate knowledge of an American named Dr. Richard Fuisz, and unequivocal statements by Dr. Fuisz directly to me that he has first hand knowledge about the Lockerbie case. Dr. Fuisz has told me that he can identify who orchestrated and executed the bombing. Dr. Fuisz has said that he can confirm absolutely that no Libyan national was involved in planning or executing the bombing of Pan Am 103, either in any technical or advisory capacity whatsoever. He has also made direct statements to me describing harassment that he has suffered for trying to provide this information to the families of Pan Am 103 and prosecuting authorities in the United States government. I first met Dr. Richard Fuisz in his business office in Chantilly, Virginia in the United States of America. The date was September,1994. I had been invited to meet Dr. Fuisz by a mutual acquaintance because of my position as press secretary to former Congressman Ron Wyden (a Democrat from Oregon), and because of my known longstanding interest in the Middle East. Wyden is now a United States Senator, and I have continued my career in TV journalism and public affairs. For the record, my relationship with Dr. Fuisz has remained purely professional, and based strictly on my respect for his integrity and incredible, indepth knowledge of the Middle East. Dr. Fuisz told me in September, 1994 that he had lived in Syria during the 1980s, and that he maintained close ties to Saudi Arabia and the Middle Ea

[cia-drugs] Holocaust denier Irving is jailed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4733820.stm Holocaust denier Irving is jailed David Irving arrived at court carrying a copy of one of his booksBritish historian David Irving has been found guilty in Vienna of denying the Holocaust of European Jewry and sentenced to three years in prison. He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989. "I made a mistake when I said there were no gas chambers at Auschwitz," he told the court in the Austrian capital. Irving appeared stunned by the sentence, and told reporters: "I'm very shocked and I'm going to appeal." An unidentified onlooker told him: "Stay strong!". Irving's lawyer said he considered the verdict "a little too stringent". "I would say it's a bit of a message trial," said Elmar Kresbach. But Karen Pollock, chief executive of the UK's Holocaust Educational Trust disagreed. "Holocaust denial is anti-Semitism dressed up as intellectual debate. It should be regarded as such and treated as such," Ms Pollock told the BBC News website. Fears that the court case would provoke right-wing demonstrations and counter-protests did not materialise, the BBC's Ben Brown at the court in Vienna said. I'm not an expert on the Holocaust David Irving Irving arrived in the court room handcuffed, wearing a blue suit, and carrying a copy of Hitler's War, one of many books he has written on the Nazis, and which challenges the extent of the Holocaust. Irving was arrested in Austria in November, on a warrant dating back to 1989, when he gave a speech and interview denying the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz. He was stopped by police on a motorway in southern Austria, where he was visiting to give a lecture to a far-right student fraternity. He has been held in custody since then. 'I've changed' During the one-day trial, he was questioned by the prosecutor and chief judge, and answered questions in fluent German. He admitted that in 1989 he had denied that Nazi Germany had killed millions of Jews. He said this is what he believed, until he later saw the personal files of Adolf Eichmann, the chief organiser of the Holocaust. "I said that then based on my knowledge at the time, but by 1991 when I came across the Eichmann papers, I wasn't saying that anymore and I wouldn't say that now," Irving told the court. "The Nazis did murder millions of Jews." In the past, he had claimed that Adolf Hitler knew little, if anything, about the Holocaust, and that the gas chambers were a hoax. COUNTRIES WITH LAWS AGAINST HOLOCAUST DENIAL Austria Belgium Czech Republic France Germany Israel Lithuania Poland Romania Slovakia Switzerland Timeline: David Irving Denying the Holocaust In 2000, a British court threw out a libel action he had brought, and declared him "an active Holocaust denier... anti-Semitic and racist". On Monday, before the trial began, he told reporters: "I'm not a Holocaust denier. Obviously, I've changed my views. "History is a constantly growing tree - the more you know, the more documents become available, the more you learn, and I have learned a lot since 1989." Asked how many Jews were killed by Nazis, he replied: "I don't know the figures. I'm not an expert on the Holocaust." Of his guilty plea, he told reporters: "I have no choice." He said it was "ridiculous" that he was being tried for expressing an opinion. "Of course it's a question of freedom of speech... I think within 12 months this law will have vanished from the Austrian statute book," he said. Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

[cia-drugs] Privatizing the World Bank?
http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=13&ItemID=9760 Privatizing the World Bank? by Chan Chee Khoon February 20, 2006 Penang, Malaysia. In a recent article entitled Reforming the World Bank: Creative Destruction (Foreign Affairs, January/February 2006), Jessica Einhorn, dean of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS, Johns Hopkins University), called for the disbandment of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). Addressing her remarks to the World Bankâs new president, Paul Wolfowitz[2] and its major funders, she called for an end to the bankâs lending to middle-income countries, and for a focus instead on the poorer countries which have little or no access to private capital markets as credit sources for development financing.  Einhorn, who retired in 1998 as managing director of the World Bank (shorthand for the âWorld Bank Groupâ which includes the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), lending to the governments of middle- and lower-middle income countries at market-based rates, the International Development Association (IDA), which provides concessional rates and grants (with conditionalities) to the poorest countries, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), which promotes private sector involvement in development and its financing) may seem to have found common cause with NGO critics campaigning against the Bretton Woods institutions (BWIs).  Their motivations in fact are quite the opposite. Focus on the Global South for instance regards the BWIs as instruments of metropolitan capital by and large, as enthusiastic purveyors of the neo-liberal agenda, and call for their dismantling and replacement by more accountable and people-responsive institutions for development financing.  Einhorn, who echoes the call to wind down the IBRD, seeks however to extend the neo-liberal agenda to the World Bank itself (in effect, outsourcing the IBRDâs lending activities to private capital markets), with her call for âtargetedâ development financing:  In the World Bankâs first years of existence, the IBRD dominated the institution. Now, however, lending to middle-income countries has diminished in both size and emphasis: the IBRDâs gross disbursements have declined from nominal levels of $13-14 billion a decade ago to about $10 billion in fiscal years 2004 and 2005. Private capital flows to emerging markets [by comparison have increased to] over $300 billion a year. The IBRD seems to be a dying institution⦠some countries that originally depended on IBRD lending no longer need the IBRD because they can get funding from private sources⦠The financial markets of today bear no similarity to those of 1944⦠The whole concept of a lending institution with a big balance sheet tied up in long-term loans has been overtaken by securitization, in which loans are just the starting point for packaging together securities that can be sold and traded in the marketplace.  Looking ahead ten years, the growth of the market for credit derivatives will most likely mean that credit to middle-income countries will be just another derivative financial instrument - to be bought, sold, and managed in private portfolios.  On the eve of the East Asian currency crisis, the IMF quarterly Finance & Development reported in June 1997 that official development finance (grants and loans) had declined from US$56.3 billion in 1990 to US$40.8 billion in 1996 (âDeveloping countries get more private investment, less aidâ). Concessional aid and grants, increasingly targeted at refugee and emergency relief, held fairly steady at about US$30 billion annually, but the non-concessional loan component of official development finance fell from US$27.1 billion (1990) to US$9.5 billion in 1996. Over the same period however, private capital flows (commercial bank loans, bonds, foreign direct investment, and portfolio equity investments) increased dramatically from US$44.4 billion to US$243.8 billion.                                                                          The World Bankâs counterpart publication Global Development Finance reported in 2001 that âin real terms, concessional [aid] flows worldwide increased by nearly 50% between 1970 and 1980, and by 32% in the ensuing decade. They then plunged 25% in the 1990s⦠concessional flows have risen modestly since 1997⦠reflects some temporary factors, notably the rise in Japanese aid in response to the financial crisis in East Asia⦠However concessional aid in 2000 was still much less than in the early 1990s⦠total official development finance â concessional and non-concessional resources â to developing countries was US$38.6 billion in 2000, another significant decline after the s

But an unparalleled company- sponsored research effort shows Germany's second largest bank supported the Nazi regime much more actively than had been previously thought. AP The SS under Heinrich Himmler relied on the Dresdner Bank for private loans. Being known as the bank of choice for Heinrich Himmler's SS would be a PR nightmare for any company. So the long postwar reluctance of top Dresdner Bank executives to expose the bank's sordid history during the Nazi era is hardly surprising. But the degree of Dresdner's complicity in many of the Third Reich's worst crimes will be shocking to many who read the results of a new seven-year study presented on Friday. A team of historians sponsored by Dresdner Bank engaged in intensive research to unearth the full extent of the darkest chapter of the bank's past. The massive study fills four volumes and nearly 2,400 pages in what amounts to an unprecedented look at the role of a financial institution in Nazi Germany. "This calls it as it is. We accept these truths even when they are painful ones," said Wulf Meier, a member of the Dresdner Bank board, at a press conference in Berlin on Friday. He readily admitted the bank had been shy about delving into the past until public sentiment in the 1990s prodded several German firms to do so. "After 1945 many people and institutions avoided questions about their role during NS times." Most German firms carry a heavy historical burden for what they did during the Nazi era. Dresdner Bank -- founded in 1872 on the initiative of a Jewish entrepreneur -- is no exception. Placing capitalist logic before morality, the bank systematically took part in the Third Reich's repression of Germany's Jews and the confiscation of Jewish wealth and assets. The team of historians, led by Dr. Klaus-Dietmar Henke from Dresden's Technical University, took an exhaustive approach in compiling the bank's activities. After seven years of research costing 1.6 million, "Dresdner Bank in the Third Reich" paints a stark picture of how the firm actively courted Nazi favor in order to make money and rapidly expand its business. "There was a deep symbiosis between National Socialism and capitalism," said Henke. Several of Dresdner's board members belonged to the Nazi party, but much of Dresdner's involvement with the party, Henke indicated, was driven more by business concerns. Deportation seen as death As an example of Dresdner's implicit knowledge about the murder of Germany's Jewish population after their deportation to camps in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe, the study cites the bank's unwillingness to pay pension payments for retired Jewish Dresdner employees directly to the Reich. The Nazis claimed the government should get the pensions to pay for the deportees' living expenses, but Dresdner officials wanted proof that the Jews in the camps and ghettos were still alive. AP The Nuernberg trials sentenced former Dresdner Bank chairman Karl Rasche (back row, forth from right) to seven years in prison. "Around 5 percent of Dresdner's workforce were Jewish -- a much higher percentage than the general population," said Dr. Dieter Ziegler for the Ruhr University in Bochum. The study also shows the bank took part early on in the Third Reich's policy of confiscating Jewish property and wealth. "It's a myth that the bank was forced to take part in the 'Aryanizing' of Jewish wealth," said Ziegler. But perhaps one of the most damning associations for Dresdner's past managers is its close ties to Heinrich Himmler's SS. The bank was the most important private lender for the Nazi organization and played a key role for its operations in occupied Europe, essentially acting as the ba
Re: [cia-drugs] CFL ALERT: OPPOSE HR4681, the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006
I contacted my senators. What people need to learn now is the Hamas was created by Mossad in order that Israel would never have to sit down and negotiate peace with the Palestinian people. I learned that from a supporter in NYC, and it is absolutely true. It's so logical that I had my Webbie change what I used to think, that Hamas was created by the CIA.

[cia-drugs] The Face of America
http://www.aim.org/media_monitor_print/4364_0_2_0/ The Face of America By Cliff Kincaid | February 20, 2006 One conclusion has to be that there is a form of so-called U.S. "imperialism" that is engendering hatred of the U.S. abroad, and that its vehicle is Hollywood. The liberals always say we should try to understand the "root causes" of terrorism. So what should we make of the Wolf Blitzer interview of Mahmoud al-Zahar on CNN on Sunday, January 29, in which the Hamas co-founder rejected the concept of a secular society like that in the U.S. because it sanctions homosexuality and promotes the spread of AIDS? Al-Zahar made similar statements in an interview with WorldNetDaily, declaring, "The West brought all this freedom to its people but it is that freedom that has brought about the death of morality in the West. It's what led to phenomena like homosexuality, homeless and AIDS." On the matter of women's rights, he said, "What we have, unlike the West, is that young women cannot be with men and have relations outside marriage. Sometimes with tens of men. This causes the destruction of the family institution and the fact that many kids come to the world without knowing who are their fathers or who are their mothers. This is not a modern and progressed society." If we are truly devoted to liberal values such as "tolerance" and "diversity," then should we not take some time to understand that there are those in the Arab/Muslim world who reject the sexual promiscuity that is celebrated on American TV and in films? One conclusion has to be that there is a form of so-called U.S. "imperialism" that is engendering hatred of the U.S. abroad, and that its vehicle is Hollywood. Consider the story out of Indonesia, a mostly Muslim country, where there have been demonstrations against Playboy magazine. "Reject Playboy! Reject Playboy!" Muslim demonstrators shouted. "Don't publish that filth here. Keep the Indonesian nation clean." Consider the case of Ishrad Manji, a Canadian lesbian feminist Muslim. Her book, The Trouble With Islam, makes some valid points, and she has appeared on several U.S. television programs. But her bio highlights her involvement with "Queer Television." Is this what the West wants for the Muslim world? The London Sunday Times has claimed that she has become "Osama's worst nightmare" for her criticism of Islam. But if anything, this kind of criticism makes the terrorists fight harder. In fact, in the infamous "Letter to the American People," attributed to bin Laden, he condemned the acceptance of homosexuality in American culture. President Bush says the terrorists reject freedom and democracy. That's certainly part of it. But they also reject the face of America presented to the rest of the world by Hollywood and the media. This is cultural pollution of the worst kind. It makes us more vulnerable to terrorist attack. We should clean it up, however, not out of a fear of the terrorists, but out of a desire to keep our society healthy and wholesome, and to protect our children.
