HOW RICH! BUSH, RICH AND SOROS JOINED AT THE HIPS.
are they suicidal?
Republicans are pushing for a Congressional investigation of Clinton's pardon
of Marc Rich. An investigation will lead directly to George Herbert Walker
Bush and BCCI. Why are certain Republicans trying to hurt Dubya in the name
of taming the Big Dog?

But, what has never been identified in a single major Western press
investigation, was that the Rothschild-group was at the heart of the vast
illegal web of BCCI. The key figure was Dr. Alfred Hartmann, the managing
director of the BCCI Swiss subsidiary, Banque de Commerce et de Placement SA;
at the same time, he ran the Zurich Rothschild Bank AG, and sat in London as
a member of the board of N.M. Rothschild and Sons, Hartmann was also a
business partner of Helmut Raiser, friend of de Picciotto, and linked to
Nordex.
Hartmann was also chairman of the Swiss affiliate of the Italian BNL bank,
which was implicated in the Bush administration illegal transfers to Iraq
prior to the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The Atlanta branch of BNL, with
the knowledge of George Bush when he was vice-president, conduited funds to
Helmut Raiser's Zug, Switzerland company, Consen, for development of the
CondorII missile program by Iraq, Egypt, and Argentina, during the Iran-Iraq
War. Hartmann was vice-chairman of another secretive private Geneva bank, the
Bank of NY-Inter-Maritime Bank, a bank whose chairman, Bruce Rappaport, was
one of the illegal financial conduits for Col. Oliver North's Contra
drugs-for-weapons network during the late 1980. North also used the BCCI as
one of his preferred banks to hide his illegal funds.
Rich's, Reichmann's, and Soros's Israeli links
According to reports of former U.S. State Department intelligence officers
familiar with the Soros-case, Soros's Quantum Fund amassed a war chest of
well over $10 billion, with the help of a powerful group of "silent"
investors who let Soros deploy the capital to demolish European monetary
stability in September 1992.
Among Soros's silent investors, these sources say, are the fugitive metals
and oil trader Marc Rich, based in Zug, Switzerland; and Shaul Eisenberg, a
decades-long member of Israeli Mossad intelligence, who functions as a major
arms merchant throughout Asia and the Near East. Eisenberg was recently
banned from doing business in Uzbekistan, where he had been accused by the
government of massive fraud and corruption. A third Soros partner is Israel's
"Dirty Rafi" Eytan, who served in London previously as Mossad liaison to
British intelligence.
Rich was one of the most active western traders in oil, aluminum, and other
commodities in the Soviet Union and Russia between 1989 and 1993. This, not
coincidentally, is just the period when Grigori Luchansky's Nordex Group
became a multibillion-dollar company selling Russian oil, aluminum, and other
commodities.
Canadian real estate entrepreneur Paul Reichmann, formerly of Olympia and
York notoriety, born in Hungary, Jew like Soros, is a business partner in
Soros's Quantum Realty, a $525-million real estate investment fund.
The Reichmann tie links Soros as well with Henry Kissinger and former Tory
Foreign Minister Lord Carrington (who is also a member of Kissinger
Associates, Inc. of New York). Reichmann sits with both Kissinger and
Carrington on the board of the influential British-Canadian publishing group,
Hollinger, Inc. Hollinger owns a large number of newspapers in Canada and the
United States, the London Daily Telegraph, and the largest English-language
daily in Israel, the Jerusalem Post. Hollinger has been attacking President
Clinton and the Middle East peace process ever since Clinton's election in
November 1992.
Soros and geopolitics
Soros is little more than one of several significant vehicles for economic
and financial warfare by the Club of the Isles faction. Because his
affiliations to these interests have not previously been spotlighted, he
serves extremely useful functions for the oligarchy, as in 1992 and 1993,
when he launched his attack on the European Rate Mechanism.
Although Soros's speculation played a role in finally taking the British
pound out of the ERM currency group entirely, it would be a mistake to view
that action as "anti-British." Soros went for the first time to London, where
he studied under Karl Popper and Friedrich von Hayek at the London School of
Economics.
Soros's business ties to Sir James Goldsmith and Lord Rothschild place him in
the inner circles of the Thatcher wing of the British establishment. By
helping the "anti-Europe" Thatcherites pull Britain out of the ERM in
September 1992 (and making more than $1 billion in the process at British
taxpayer expense), Soros helped the long-term goal of the Thatcherites in
weakening continental Europe's economic stability. Since 1904 , it has been
British geopolitical strategy to prevent by all means any successful economic
linkage between western continental European economies, especially that of
Germany, with Russia and the countries of eastern Europe.
Soros's personal outlook is consonant with that of the Thatcher wing of the
Tory Party, those who three years ago launched the "Germany, the Fourth
Reich" hate campaign against unified Germany, comparing Chancellor Helmut
Kohl with Adolf Hitler. Soros is personally extremely anti-German. In his 191
autobiography, Underwriting Democracy, Soros warned that a reunited Germany
would "upset the balance of Europe .... It is easy to see how the interwar
scenario could be replayed. A united Germany becomes the strongest economic
power and develops Eastern Europe as its Lebensraum ... a potent witches'
brew." Soros's recent public attacks on the German economy and the deutsche
mark are fundamentally motivated by this geopolitical view.
Soros is quite close to the circles of George Bush in the U.S. intelligence
community and finance. His principal bank custodian, and reputed major lender
in the 1992 assault on Europe's ERM, is Citicorp NA, the nation's largest
bank. Citicorp is more than a lending institution; it is a core part of the
American liberal establishment. In 1989, as it became clear that German
unification was a real possibility, a senior official at Citicorp, a former
adviser to Michael Dukakis's Presidential campaign, told a European business
associate that "German unity will be a disaster for our interests; we must
take measures to ensure a sharp D-Mark collapse on the order of 30%, so that
she will not have the capability to reconstruct East Germany into the
economic engine of a new Europe."
While Soros was calling on world investors to pull down the deutsche mark in
1993, he had been making a strong play in the French media, since late 1992,
to portray himself as a "friend of French interests." Soros is reported to be
close to senior figures of the French establishment, the Treasury, and in
particular, Bank of France head Jean-Claude Trichet. In effect, Soros is
echoing the old Entente Cordiale alliance against Germany, which helped
precipitate World War 1.
Soros admits that he "survived in Nazi Hungary" during the war, as a Jew, by
adopting what he calls a double personality. "I have lived with a double
personality practically all my life," Soros recently stated. "It started at
age fourteen in Hungary, when I assumed a false identity in order to escape
persecution as a Jew." Soros admitted in a radio interview that his father
gave him Nazi credentials in Hungary during the war, and he looted wealthy
Jewish estates. Further research showed that this operation was probably run
by the SS.
Soros did not leave the country until two years after the war. Though he and
his friends in the media are quick to attack any policy opponent of Soros,
especially in eastern Europe, as being "anti-Semitic," Soros's Jewish
identity apparently has only utilitarian value for him, rather than providing
moral foundations. In
short, the young Soros was a cynical, ambitious person, the ideal recruit for
the British postwar intelligence network.
Soros savages eastern Europe
Soros has established no fewer than 19 "charitable" foundations across
eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He has sponsored "peace" concerts
in former Yugoslavia with such performers as Joan Baez. He is helping send
young east Europeans to Oxford University. A model citizen, is the image he
broadcasts.
The reality is something else. Soros has been personally responsible for
introducing shock therapy into the emerging economies of eastern Europe since
1989. He has deliberately fostered on fragile new governments in the east the
most draconian economic madness, policies which have allowed Soros and his
financial predator friends, such as Marc Rich and Shaul Eisenberg, to loot
the resources of large parts of eastern Europe at dirt-cheap prices. Here are
illustrative case histories of Soros's eastern "charity".
Poland: In late 1989, Soros organized a secret meeting between the "reform"
communist government of Prime Minister Mieczyslaw Rakowski and the leaders of
the then-illegal Solidarnosc trade union organization. According to
well-informed Polish sources, at that 1989 meeting, Soros unveiled his "plan"
for Poland: The communists must let Solidarnosc take over the government, so
as to gain the confidence of the population. Then, said Soros, the state must
act to bankrupt its own industrial and agricultural enterprises, using
astronomical interest rates, withholding state credits, and burdening firms
with unpayable debt. Once thie were done, Soros promised that he would
encourage his wealthy international business friends to come into Poland, as
prospective buyers of the privatized state enterprises. A recent example of
this privatization plan is the case of the large steel facility Huta Warsawa.
According to steel experts, this modern complex would cost $3-4 billion for a
western company to build new. Several months ago, the Polish government
agreed to assume the debts of Huta Warsawa, and to sell the debt-free
enterprise to a Milan company, Lucchini, for $30 million!.
Soros recruited his friend, Harvard University economist Jeffery Sachs, who
had previously advised the Bolivian government in economic policy, leading to
the takeover of that nation's economy by the cocaine trade. To further his
plan in Poland, Soros set up one of his numerous foundations, the Stefan
Batory Foundation, the official sponsor of Sach's work in Poland in 1989-90.
Soros boasts, "I established close personal contact with Walesa's chief
adviser, Bronislaw Geremek. I was also received by [President Gen Wojciech]
Jaruzelski, the head of State, to obtain his blessing for my foundation." He
worked closely with the eminence gris of Polish shock therapy, Witold
Trzeciakowski, a shadow adviser to Finance Minister Leszek Balcerowicz. Soros
also cultivated relations with Balcerowicz, the man who would first impose
Sach's shock therapy on Poland. Soros says when Walesa was elected President,
that "largely because of western pressure, Walesa retained Balcerowicz as
minister." Balcerowicz imposed a freeze on wages while industry was to be
bankrupted by a cutoff of state credits. Industrial output fell by more than
30% over two years.
Soros admits he knew in advance that his shock therapy would cause huge
unemployment, closing of factories, and social unrest. For this reason, he
insisted that Solidarnosc be brought into the government, to help deal with
the unrest. Through the Batory Foundation, Soros coopted key media opinion
makers such as Adam Michnik, and through cooperation with the U.S. Embassy in
Warsaw, imposed a media censorship favorable to Soros's shock therapy, and
hostile to all critics.
Russia and the Community of Independent States (CIS): Soros headed a
delegation to Russia, where he had worked together with Raisa Gorbachova
since the late 1980s, to establish the Cultural Initiative Foundation. As
with his other "charitable foundations," this was a tax-free vehicle for
Soros and his influential Western friends to enter the top policymaking
levels of the country, and for tiny sums of scarce hard currency, but up
important political and intellectual figures. After a false start under
Mikhail Gorbachov in 1988-91, Soros shifted to the new Yeltsin circle. It was
Soros who introduced Jeffery Sachs and shock therapy into Russia, in late
1991. Soros describes his effort: "I started mobilizing a group of economists
to take to the Soviet Union (July 1990). Professor Jeffery Sachs, with whom I
had worked in Poland, was ready and eager to participate. He suggested a
number of other participants: Romano Prodi from Italy; David Finch, a retired
official from the IMF [International Monetary Fund]. I wanted to include
Stanley Fischer and Jacob Frenkel, heads of research of the World Bank and
IMF, respectively; Larry Summers from Harvard and Michael Bruno of the
Central Bank of Israel."
Since Jan. 2, 1992, shock therapy has introduced chaos and hyperinflation
into Russia. Irreplaceable groups from advanced scientific research
institutes have fled in pursuit of jobs in the West. Yegor Gaidar and the
Yeltsin government imposed draconian cuts in state spending to industry and
agriculture, even though the entire economy was state-owned. A goal of a zero
deficit budget within three months was announced. Credit to industry was
ended, and enterprises piled up astronomical debts, as inflation of the ruble
went out of control.
The friends of Soros lost no time in capitalizing on this situation. Marc
Rich began buying Russian aluminum at absurdly cheap prices, with his hard
currency. Rich then dumped the aluminum onto western industrial markets last
year, causing a 30% collapse in the price of the metal, as western industry
had no way to compete. There was such an outflow of aluminum last year from
Russia, that there were shortages of aluminum for Russian fish canneries. At
the same time, Rich reportedly moved in to secure export control over the
supply of most West Siberian crude oil to western markets. Rich's companies
have been under investigation for fraud in Russia, accord
