By Al Martin http://www.almartinraw.com/ 12-17-00 George Bush Jr. was investigated THREE TIMES by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the early 1990s for allegation of securities fraud regarding his transactions in Bush Family controlled Harken Energy stock. SEC Director Breeden stopped the investigation initially, but the guy underneath Breeden sent a copy of the investigative report to Barr's office. A copy of the files were actually forwarded around Breeden's back because they knew he would stop it. But then Billy Barr wouldn't do anything about it either. This took place after George Jr. became a director of Harken Energy. His father George Bush Sr. made him a director, and then by this time he had complete control of the company. This is before the father had to take it back from him because he nearly bankrupted Harken Energy. Harken is a publicly traded stock on the American Stock Exchange. When Junior took it over, the stock was trading at $8 a share. When Bush Jr. left the Board of Directors, the stock was trading at $1 a share. And was there a lot of shorting going on? Oh yes. Myself included. As a matter of fact, the funny thing is that the minute he was appointed -- both Jeb and Neil shorted the stock. And it went down. Everybody knew enough to short it. All the old Iran-Contra Gang knew what George Jr's track record was in running businesses. Now all America should know. Knowing their brother's track record in running a business, Jeb and Neil immediately shorted Harken stock through their own accounts. *** Have you heard about Tom Spencer, Chairman of the Miami Dade County Canvassing Board? He was also the chief Republican observer in the voting recount. He's been testifying before the Florida Supreme Court, and he claims that he does not favor Republicans and he is completely impartial. This is the infamous Thomas Spencer, an attorney in private practice in Miami called Spencer and Klein. Before going into private practice in 1974, Spencer was originally the general counsel for the Department of Defense under Nixon and Ford. His first client in Miami was Southern Air Transport. In fact he has represented them for twenty years. He is also the personal attorney of Major General Richard Secord. Southern Air Transport is, of course, the successor to Air America, the infamous CIA Dope Airline that the CIA used for smuggling narcotics during the Vietnam War. Southern Air Transport was also the airline that was used to facilitate Oliver North's infamous guns-for-drugs operation during Iran-Contra. It was founded by the infamous Fred Bachelor, who was famous for making the remark publicly -- when asked about his political disposition -- that he was "somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun." So now Spencer is claiming to be unbiased and not pro-Republican -- despite the fact that, for years, he represented Jeb Bush, George's younger brother. He represented Jeb Bush personally and his company Bush Realty. He also represented the Dade County Latin American Chamber of Commerce of which Bush was the head. In the past Spencer represented the then CIA-financed Nicaraguan President in Exile Adolfo Calero and Calero's younger brother, the CIA doper Mario Calero. But Gore's attorneys won't bring any of this out. Why? Spencer could immediately talk about some the Democrats he's represented, like Bob Graham, the powerful senator. Graham's skeletons in the closet include Swissco Management in the 1980s when Graham entered into an illegal tax free exchange of property, pursuant to the Graham family holdings in north Florida. The Graham family are big ranchers and they own an enormous amount of property. To avoid capital gains taxes, Graham entered into a tax-free land swap with Swissco Management in 1984. Later it was deemed to be illegal, and Graham got hit with a multi-million dollar levy from the IRS. By the way, Swissco Management was headed by none other than Carlos Cardoen, the Chilean arms dealer. Congressman Bill Alexander, during his 1990-92 Iran-Contra hearings, called Tom Spencer "a slippery right wing cabalist." Alexander further paid Tom Spencer, Esq. some accolades by calling him "one of Washington's best Iran-Contra nay-sayers in Miami." By the way, Spencer is also mentioned in my book "The Conspirators." Spencer is now saying that Bush was ahead by six votes. And the Gore people are saying that Gore was ahead by 19,000 votes. But for this guy -- the infamous Tom Spencer -- to claim he's impartial, it's absolutely outrageous. Spencer. Terwilliger. Gray. This is the pact of perjurers on the Bush Cheney Team. Don't forget here's George Terwilliger, a former arch right wing cabalist questioning another arch right wing cabalist, Tom Spencer. Remember Terwilliger halted prosecutions of Spencer's former clients. And here are these two guys, under oath in a court of law, who are both attorneys at law, both of whom have been charged with lying to Congressional Committtees in the past. George W. Terwilliger is the former Deputy Attorney General under Ed Meese, who acted as the Political Liability Suppression Officer for the Department of Justice in the post-Iran-Contra environment. Terwilliger, in concert with his sinister hatchet man Lowell Jensen (now Federal District Judge Lowell Jensen) acted to suppress or manipulate Iran-Contra prosecutions in sensitive jurisdictions, particularly in Miami to ensure that no government connectuon would be mentioned. Lowell Jensen was the senior attorney with the Department of Justice, the Associate Attorney Gerneral at the time. His reward for keeping his mouth shut? He was made a Federal District Judge. Then you see Bush-Cheney's attorney and George Bush Sr.'s personal attorney as well as presidential attorney C. Boyden Gray. He's the famous "Charles Smith" of October Surprise scandal. His prominent facial feature, i.e., his big nose, was remembered by hotel clerks in Paris and Madrid, and it led to the busting open of the October Surprise Scandal. Gray went along with George Bush Sr. and others to those meetings in Paris and Madrid in 1980 with Iranian officials. Now he's a Bush Cheney 2000 Team member. The Bush Cheney Team now has the old crowd of perjurers and liars. These guys just don't give a shit. Cheney came right out and said on MSNBC, as far as he was concerned the first thing he wanted to do was to stop a current GAO audit of Department of Defense expenditures in the Redstone Arsenal and the Central Missile Command Base in Hunstville, Alabama. GAO has had an ongoing investigation of corruption. The first thing he wants to do as Vice President is stop the investigation. *** You may have heard that convicted HUD felon Phil Winn was pardoned by Bill Clinton the other day. People have asked me to explain the background. He was the one who bribed Federico Pena, the former mayor of Denver, with a $2.5 million bribe to get the Denver Airport project for the Winn Group. This was when Robert Josephs was head of M&L Industries. The check was actually drawn on M&L Industries and cashed. Then the money was brought back to Pena's office in a briefcase. The reason Winn was pardoned by Clinton was to protect Pena. Winn was being reinvestigated for HUD fraud, as reported in the Denver Post. The Clinton Administration was frightened that Winn would blow the whistle on the bribe to Pena. So this was an effort to protect Pena. In other words, the Clinton Administration knows this HUD thing is going to break apart, and they want to distance themselves from it and make sure it all gets laid in the Republican lap. That's why, at some point, you'll see Andrew Cuomo be made a scapegoat. He's going to have to be. There will be no choice, but to make him a scapegoat. The State of Colorado has been pushing to reinvestigate a lot of old HUD cases at the Attorney General's instigation, now that Gail Norton is gone. Gail was the State Attorney General of Colorado and she blocked any attempt to reinvestigate HUD fraud, and now she's moved over to the law firm of Norman Brownstein. How cute this whole deal is. It's the typical workings of the revolving door syndrome in action. Brownstein is one of the attorneys who represents the Winn Group and formerly M&L Industries which was part of MDC Holdings. Pena was working under Clinton, and he was forced to resign. He tried to help Phillip Winn and Leonard Millman at HUD by suppressing information, by making information requested by the FBI hard to get. If you can understand how cozy this all is... It's a perfect case of how everybody scratched everybody's back. And now the Clinton Administration at the end pulls the plug to protect themselves. The problem with Pena is that if he ever got squeezed, he would begin to talk about that Flowerwood deal Hillary was involved in. It was called Flowerwood Real Estate Development in Colorado. She was one of the principals in the Flowerwood deal. This was one of the deals that the Independent Counsel was supposed to investigate and then all of a sudden -- didn't. And they kept focusing on Whitewater. And you only heard Flowerwood discussed three or four times. Phil Winn was also one of those who paid for the defense fund for Bill Clinton. Winn is also intimately connected with the Bush Family and with the Reagan-Bush Regime. You have to remember that Winn himself was a former Assistant HUD Director under Reagan. Then suddenly he gets an appointment out of the blue -- he wasn't even on the list -- as Ambassador to Switzerland -- an appointment that puts him out of the country in the 1988-89 time span, when there's a new independent counsel investigation on HUD activity. And he is conveniently out of the country with ambassadorial status, so he can not be subpoenaed. You could say that this fraud begins 20 years ago and just continues along. Because nobody wants to cough up any of the missing money. Because it's long gone by now. If this HUD scandal ever really breaks wide open, it's going to be one hell of a big deal. Particularly when the American People realize they're out Sixty Billion Dollars. Plus. Did you know there hasn't been a General Audit of HUD done since 1984? The reason why is that everyone was afraid to do it. But it's not that hard to imagine. The Department of Defense went twelve or thirteen years without an audit. There isn't any constitutional requirement, any lawful requirement, to audit any federal agency. That's a discretion of the executive branch. You can see that the agencies of government -- where there hasn't been any audit -- that's where all the mischief is. HUD. DoD. CIA. NSA. Nobody wants to audit them. ©2000 Al Martin Raw All Rights Reserved Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** Explore Our Archive: <http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html> <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
