According to recent press reports, the infamous, sinister and dreaded Elliot Abrams has been appointed to the National Security Council as senior director for democracy, human rights and operations. Not to be forgotten is the fact that Elliott Abrams is a liar par excellence - and a known shredder of documents. � � � Elliott Abrams actually originated the phrase "Shadow Government" designating the machinations of the Bush Cabal during the Iran Contra years. � � � During the Reagan-Bush Administration, former Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams was in charge of a propaganda office in the State Department known as the Inter-American Affairs Office, ostensibly set up to provide a liaison between the Nicaraguan contras, the CIA and the National Security Council. � � � Within the purview of the Inter-American Affairs office, Abrams was responsible for dispensing duly authorized Congressional humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan contras. At the time, Congress made three separate appropriations totaling $300 million in 1985 and 1986 for so-called "humanitarian aid." � � � During the Hughes Commission probe of 1988, Congressman Hughes discovered that the State Department could only account for $27 million of the $300 million expended. � � � As Hughes reported in his final summary report, which was then forwarded to the general counsel of the Tower Commission, the remaining $273 million seemed to have disappeared into a variety of "CIA-connected offshore accounts." � � � All the major participants had code names during Iran-Contra. Elliot Abram's official code name was "The Snake." His equally sinister underling, Deputy Assistant Security of State Michael Kozak was code-named "The Weasel." � � � Bill Casey, then director of the CIA, often thought up these codenames himself. Casey admitted publicly before he died that the code names he used were based on his perception of people's characters. � � � Around 1985, Clair George, then deputy Director of the CIA, was in charge of all CIA sanctioned narcotics operations. Clair George, by the way, was one of the passengers in that Twin Beech Baron aircraft that Miami Customs inadvertently forced to land at Tamiami Airport in November 1983. A sizable quantity of cocaine was found in the plane, and Clair George was actually the so-called "high ranking unnamed CIA official" that the FBI didn't want to name in the famous 12B-151 FBI internatlk Memorandum. � � � The last time I had seen Clair George, in 1985, he told me that Bill Casey's opinion of Elliott Abrams was that he thought that Abrams "had all the intestinal fortitude of a bowl of jello." � � � Casey also said that if Elliott Abrams was just given a few volts of electro-shock he'd "sing like a friggin bird." � � � It should also be mentioned that Elliot Abrams' other claim to fame was the December 10, 1985 meeting with Manuel Noriega. He met Noriega along with Michael Kozak and Bill Walters in the conference room of the Hotel Intercontinental in Panama City to discuss Noriega's grievances that he wasn't being paid enough per kilogram of cocaine that was passing through his country. This was pursuant to Oliver North's "guns for drugs" operation. That meeting was Elliott Abrams' one claim to fame - and even that meeting didn't go well. � � � Elliott Abrams didn't want to give Noriega any extra money, because by this time, (December 1985), Bill Casey and George Bush were growing nervous about the administration's closeness to somebody they were seeing as increasingly unreliable.So Abrams was sent down to placate Noriega. � � � By the way, Noriega was still upset about al lot of the little things that had happened to him. There was the $5 million of his money that Oliver North swiped that was supposed to be given to Don Aronow to build those gunboats for the Panamanian Navy. � � � No one seems to know where the five million actually went. It was five million in cash. � � � When North left Noriega in Panama City, he stopped in San Jose Costa, Rica to see Joe Fernandez, the Costa Rican CIA Station Chief. � � � It's interesting to note that later that day there was a $2 million cash deposit to the North-controlled account of Intercontinental Industries S.A. of San Jose, Costa Rica. The deposit was made into their account at the Banco de Popular. This was discovered by interviewing the general manager of the Dominican branch of the Banco de Popular, during a related investigation. � � � Bill Walters, who was also "negotiating" with Noriega, is of course Bush's newly appointed "drug czar." � � � The logical conclusion is that George Bush Jr. is trying to put together the old RAG-1 (Restricted Access Group 1). He is reassembling the group of which Elliott Abrams and Dickie Armitage were former members. There was also Frank Carlucci, then National Security advisor and then Assistant Secretary of State Bernard Aronson. � � � Restricted Access Group 1 was chaired by the Vice President, George Bush Sr. It was the highest restricted group that existed in the Iran-Contra operations. It directly reported to the Vice President, who was after all ultimately in charge of all Iran-Contra operations, insofar as all Iran-Contra operations were consolidated under his office. � � � RAG-1 had monthly meetings and they communicated with each other. They acted as the Vice President's and Bill Casey's eyes and ears throughout all the other agencies,. They were the ultimate group that controlled political and legal liability for the Reagan-Bush administration visavis Iran-Contra activities. They were the ultimate liability control group. � � � They enforced directives by making recommendations to the Vice President which would then be forwarded to Director Casey. The recommendations would include the destruction of documents, the prosecution or inconveniencing of people who knew too much, and they would even make recommendations that individuals be liquidated. What individuals were to be pressured, harassed, exiled, intimidated, falsely convicted of something. Who was to be set up. Who would be made a scapegoat. And what other suppressive activities were to take place within the RAG-2 group. The RAG-2 Group included George Terwilliger of the Department of Justice and Bobby Gates of the CIA. � � � The linkage between the groups was their mandate. The reason that Restricted Access Groups exist is that every Restricted Access Group has deniability from the Restricted Access Group below it. It's ultimately to build buffers between those at the very top actually running an illegal covert operation of state and those who are charged with the execution of said policies. This was the original concept to maintain deniability as espoused by "Wild Bill" Donovan. � � � In the future we should look for future appointments like George Terwilliger, Frank Carlucci and Bernie Aronson, any of the old RAG characters, to see how many of them are brought back into the Bush Jr. Administration. � � � These include old cabalists like former DCI Robert Gates, former Deputy Attorney General George Terwilliger, former White House Counsel and George Bush Sr.'s personal counsel C. Boyden Gray (AKA "Charles Smith" of October Surprise fame) - all document shredders par excellence. � � � Those familiar with secretarial skills measured by WPM, or typing (Words Per Minute) will understand that future candidates for Bush Administration positions must now list their DPM on their curriculum vitae. Salary bonuses will be offered for speeds above 100 DPM. A special DPM test will most likely be administered: how many Documents Per Minute can you shred, otherwise known as DPM? � � � The reappointment of former Bush Cabalists demonstrates that Bush Family members -George Sr., George Jr., Jeb, Neil, Prescott and Wally - are still concerned to this day about their Iran-Contra liability. � � � We would challenge those who would maintain that Iran-Contra is past history because the liability it represents is still very much with us. � � � Furthermore, the second reason that this Restricted Access Group is being put together again is to manage political and legal liability visavis the United States Government's current covert and illegal operation to rearm China. � � � The reconstitution of this access group would indicate that even more egregious covert illegal activities in the future are going to take place - an acceleration of the rearming of China in order to make China the New Designated Enemy of the 21st Century. This policy will be stepped up and even more egregious acts will be committed. � � � This frightens some people. The concept of a RAG-1 Group being put back together frightens some people who know too much about the Bushes -- both past and present. This usually indicates that assassinations or liquidations will begin to take place. � � � When the original RAG-1 group was put together during Iran-Contra years, it was immediately thereafter that citizens who knew too much began to die under clouded circumstances. (See Chapter 15 of "The Conspirators" on the deaths of Johnny Molina and George Morales). Suddenly there was a spate of prosecutions. People who know too much like Michael Riconosciuto are incarcerated on questionable evidence. So what are the names of the Control and Cover-up Crowd? � � � Look for the return of the "Snake," the "Weasel" and other operatives with similar Animal Farm-like names. It will validate our assertions that Bush is attempting to reassemble a liability control group. And what does it mean? The current operation to illegally arm China is going to be ratcheted up and it will take on decidedly more sinister overtones.
