Exiled Russian 'oligarch' questioned in poisoning
Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky agrees to talk with an investigator about the 
death of Alexander Litvinenko.
By Kim Murphy, Times Staff Writer
March 31, 2007 


LONDON - Exiled Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, a prominent critic of the 
Kremlin who has fought extradition to his country for years, agreed to be 
questioned here Friday by a Russian investigator examining the killing of 
former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko. 

The outspoken billionaire has been waging a free-spending campaign to unseat 
President Vladimir V. Putin, whose government he believes is behind 
Litvinenko's death.

Berezovsky, who faces fraud charges in Russia, was interviewed in the presence 
of British detectives at Scotland Yard. He agreed to meet only if the Russian 
investigator was checked for weapons and poisons, the session was conducted at 
a British police facility and a recording of the interview was provided.

He has said he would meet with them, after years of refusal to talk with 
Russian law enforcement authorities, to prevent them from having an excuse to 
forbid British detectives from questioning suspects in Russia in the Litvinenko 
case. Litvinenko, a friend of the tycoon, died in London in November after 
exposure to a massive dose of radioactive polonium-210.

Boris thought he should do it, not because he wants to give any credence to 
the Russian so-called investigation, which he considers a sham and an 
obstruction of justice, but because he doesn't want to give the Russians an 
excuse to hamper the British investigation, said Alex Goldfarb, a Berezovsky 
spokesman who heads his International Foundation for Civil Liberties.

Goldfarb is co-writing a book on Litvinenko's death with the former spy's 
widow, Marina Litvinenko, who refused to be interviewed by the Russian 
authorities.

British police already have traveled to Moscow to conduct interviews in the 
investigation, which they have handed over to prosecutors in London. Additional 
inquiries are still underway.

Berezovsky, who has been granted political asylum in Britain, says agents of 
the Russian government were behind the killing, but some in Russia suspect 
Berezovsky.

Alexander Litvinenko's friends and family in London believe agents of the 
Russian government organized the poisoning in retaliation for his defection 
from the Federal Security Service, a successor agency of the KGB, and for his 
repeated allegations of government corruption and criminal acts committed 
against Russian citizens. 

Two fellow former KGB agents who were visiting Litvinenko in London on the day 
of the poisoning have been linked to the physical trail of polonium, though 
they have not been officially identified as suspects and the British 
authorities have not issued any arrest warrants.

The Russian investigators are out to create a virtual case, which will be a 
mirror image of the British case, Goldfarb said. In the end, they will say 
Berezovsky is the one who did it, and they will use this as a reason not to 
extradite [to Britain] the true perpetrators. 

This is all a cover-up. The Russians are trying to get away with murder. And 
it all goes round to the fact that nobody in the West will have the guts to 
call them a terrorist government.

Berezovsky told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti that he met with a Russian 
investigator for four hours.

I had the impression that he [the investigator] was a tax inspector or a major 
Russian bank representative, who wanted to learn where my and my family's 
accounts were and what fortune Alexander Litvinenko had, how much he had in his 
account and who will inherit his fortune, Berezovsky said.

He said he believed the Russian investigative team had sought to interview 
about 100 witnesses in Britain, but only three agreed.

Russian detectives also reportedly questioned another Russian exile who has 
sought asylum in Britain, Chechen resistance spokesman Akhmed Zakayev, wanted 
in Russia on charges connected to the war in Chechnya.

Zakayev also was a friend of Litvinenko and has accused the Russian government 
of involvement in his poisoning.

Berezovsky, one of several so-called oligarchs who became billionaires 
overnight during Russia's transition to a market economy in the 1990s, fled the 
country in 2000. Authorities there have been seeking to prosecute him on a 
variety of fraud and embezzlement charges in connection with his former 
business holdings.

Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika told reporters in Moscow on Thursday 
that his deputy, Alexander Zvyagintsev, was heading the team of investigators 
in London.

So far, we have not encountered any difficulties. It is hard to speak about 
any deadlines because everything is decided by the U.K. side, he said, 
according to the Interfax news agency.

  No, the Iran Oil Bourse is not a casus belli.


  by F. William Engdahl
 
  Global Research, March 10, 2006 
 
 




  A number of writings have recently appeared with the thesis that the 
announced plans of the Teheran government to institute a Teheran Oil Bourse, 
perhaps as early as this month, is the real hidden reason behind the evident 
march to war on Iran from the Anglo-American powers. The thesis is in our 
opinion mistaken  for many reasons, not the least, that war on Iran has been in 
planning since the 1990's, as an integral part of the US Greater Middle East 
strategy. 

  More significantly, the Oil Bourse argument is a Red Herring that diverts 
attention from the real geopolitical grounds behind the march towards war which 
have been detailed on this website, including  my piece, 'Calculating the Risk 
of War in Iran' which was posted on GlobalResearch.ca on January 29, 2006

  In 1996, Richard Perle and Douglas Feith, two neo-conservatives later to 
play an important role in formulation of Bush Administration Pentagon policy in 
the Middle East, authored a paper for then-newly-elected Israeli Prime 
Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. That advisory paper, 'A Clean Break: a New 
Strategy for Securing the Realm,' called on Netanyahu to make a 'clean break 
from the peace process.' They also called on Netanyahu to strengthen Israel's 
defenses to better confront Syria and Iraq, and to go after Iran as the prop of 
Syria. 

  More than a year before President Bush declared Operation Shock and Awe 
against Iraq, he made his now infamous January 2002 State of the Union address 
to Congress in which he labelled Iran, along with Iraq and North Korea, as the 
'Axis of Evil' trio. This was well before anyone in Teheran was even 
considering establishing an oil bourse to trade oil in various currencies.

  The argument by those who believe that the Teheran Oil Bourse would be 
the casus belli, the trigger pushing Washington down the road to potential 
thermonuclear annihilation of Iran, seems to rest on the claim that by openly 
trading oil to other nations or buyers in Euros, Teheran would set into motion 
a chain of events in which nation after nation, buyer after buyer, would line 
up to buy oil no longer in US dollars but in Euros. That in turn, so goes the 
argument, would lead to a panic selling of dollars on world foreign exchange 
markets and a collapse of the role of the dollar as reserve currency, one of 
the 'pillars of Empire.' Basta! There goes the American Century down the tubes 
with the onset of the Teheran Oil Bourse.Reality is a little different. 

  Some background considerations 

  That argument fails to convince for a number of reasons. First, in the 
case of at least one of the Oil Bourse theory writers, their argument is based 
on a misunderstanding of the process which I described in my book, A Century of 
War, regarding the creation in 1974 of 'petrodollar recycling' in the wake of 
the orchestrated 400% OPEC oil price hike, a process with which then-US 
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was deeply involved. 

  The dollar then did not become a 'petrodollar' although Kissinger spoke 
about the process of 'recycling petrodollars.' Instead what he referred to was 
the initiation of a new phase of US global hegemony in which the 'petrodollar' 
export earnings of OPEC oil lands would be recycled into the hands of the major 
New York and London banks and re-lent in form of dollar loans to oil deficit 
countries like Brazil or Argentina, creating what soon came to be known as he 
Latin American Debt Crisis.

  The dollar at that time had been a fiat currency since August 1971 when 
President Richard Nixon first abrogated the Bretton Woods Treaty and refused to 
redeem US dollars held by foreign central banks for gold bullion. The dollar 
floated against other major currencies, falling more or less until it was 
revived by the turbo change of the 1973-4 oil price shock.

  What the 1973 oil shock achieved for the sagging dollar was a sudden 
injection of global demand from nations confronted with 400% higher oil import 
bills. At that time, by postwar convention and convenience, as the dollar was 
the only reserve currency held around the world other than gold, oil was priced 
by all OPEC members in dollars as a practical exigency. 

  With the 400% price rise, nations such as France, Germany, Japan and 
other importers suddenly found reason to try to buy their oil directly in their 
own currencies-French Franc, German Deutschemarks or Japanese Yen-in order to 
lessen the pressure on their rapidly declining reserves of trade dollars. The 
US Treasury and Pentagon made certain that did not happen, partly with some 
Kissinger secret diplomacy, bullying threats, and a whopping big US military 
agreement with the key OPEC producer,

  In His White House, Giuliani Says,
  His Wife Might Have a Very Visible Role as Adviser 
  
By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
  
Rudolph W. Giuliani says that if he were president, his wife 
  would be permitted to attend cabinet meetings 
  and advise him on federal policy, an unusually overt role 
  in government decision-making for a first lady.
   
  Mr. Giuliani made the remarks Tuesday in an interview 
  that he and his wife, Judith, gave to Barbara Walters 
  for broadcast tonight on the ABC News television program “20/20.” 
   
  Yesterday the network released a partial transcript, in which 
   
  Mr. Giuliani also said Mrs. Giuliani, his Third Wife (# 3), was 
  Not responsible for his very public breakup with his second.
-  (Ah! Repukelican Family Values!)

   
  Asked by Ms. Walters how much of a role Mrs. Giuliani would have 
  in his campaign, Mr. Giuliani said, “As much as she wants.”
   
  Asked if she would be involved in policy decisions, he said: 
  “To the extent she wants to be. I couldn’t have a better adviser.”
   
  As for cabinet meetings, she would sit in 
  “if she wanted to,”  Mr. Giuliani said, adding: 
  “If they were relevant to something that she was interested in. 
  I mean, that would be something that 
  I’d be very, very comfortable with.”
   
  Mrs. Giuliani, who used to work as a nurse and a 
  pharmaceutical sales representative, said that 
  “if he asks me to,” she would attend White House policy meetings, 
  “and certainly in the areas of health care.”
   
  There have, of course, been first ladies who influenced 
  their husbands privately on matters of state, from Abigail Adams 
  to Eleanor Roosevelt to Nancy Reagan. Edith Bolling Galt Wilson 
  secretly wielded enormous power over the government for 
  18 months after a stroke incapacitated her husband, Woodrow. 
   
  Rosalynn Carter, who advised her husband on policy, 
  sat in at cabinet meetings - attendance that 
  some authorities say was a first - but was largely silent.
  Hillary Rodham Clinton played the most public role in govt., 
  heading a commission to overhaul health care. 
   
  But the plan she produced died in Congress and turned into 
  a major political setback for the president. After that, she stuck 
  to the more traditional roles of private counselor and public envoy.
   
  In the interview on Tuesday, Ms. Walters delved into some of 
  the most discomforting personal subjects Mr. Giuliani has had 
  to address while running for the Republican presidential nomination, 
  including the messy ending of his 2'nd marriage, to Donna Hanover; 
  his strained relationship with his 2 children from that marriage; 
  and the disclosure last week that the current Mrs. Giuliani had been 
  married Twice before, not once as had been widely reported.
   
  Mr. Giuliani’s marriage to Ms. Hanover was known to have been 
  strained for years before their separation in 2000 - a separation 
  he announced at a news conf. Without, she has said, first telling her. 
   
  His relationship with Judith Nathan became public knowledge
  around that time, three years before they wed.
  Ms. Walters asked directly if the current Mrs. Giuliani 
  was responsible for the failure of his marriage to Ms. Hanover. 
  “No, she was not,” Mr. Giuliani said. “I think I should be very clear 
  that she was Not the cause of the breakup in any way at all.”
   
  The couple would not say how and when they met 
  and their romance began, a subject they have consistently 
  declined to address over the years. “That’s one thing that 
  I would kind of like to keep private,” Mrs. Giuliani said.
   
  Mr. Giuliani’s son, Andrew, 21, who has had little contact 
  with his father in the last two years, recently referred to
   “a little problem that exists between me and his wife.”
   
  Of his relationship with his son, Mr. Giuliani told Ms. Walters, 
  “This is my responsibility, not hers.”

Subject:  DRAFT GORE: CALL TO ACTION
  
Dear Friends,In an emotional return to Congress yesterday, Al Gore 
testified before   House and Senate subcommittees on the issue of global 
warming. His   powerful plea resonated across the country and made headlines 
everywhere.   This is a crucial time for us as well to make a bold statement 
about the   need for Gore candidacy. When Al Gore makes news, we get ten times 
more   visitors than normal -- including media. Let's impress them with the   
biggest petition possible and take some bold actions. Today. Together.   Please 
join us.There are four things we'd like to ask of you. Please take a few   
minutes to read this. It's never been more important than now.1. Forward 
the petition link to at least one friend (hopefully more)  2. Make a 
contribution to promote the petition.  3. DFA poll – vote for “Other” and send 
a message.  4. Write Al Gore -- his birthday is 3/31.1. PETITION 
(http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/algore2008/)We currently have more than
 61,000 signatures on the petition. For a   petition of its kind it's enormous. 
But to demonstrate the strength of   our movement we need to double this number 
now, and then aim for far more   in the months ahead. And it's easy if you all 
forward the link   (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/algore2008/) to as many 
people as   you can -- friends, neighbors, coworkers. Or tell them to visit   
draftgore.com and sign the petition. We rely on you.2. CONTRIBUTIONS: HELP 
US BUY ADSFor each one of us there are millions of Americans who would love 
to   join this movement but don't know we're here. They will never find us   
unless we advertise. Ads are the biggest expense of a campaign. Right now   we 
cannot afford to reach large audiences beyond Internet activists.   With YOUR 
help we will tell the world Draft Gore has arrived.
http://www.draftgore.com/contribute.htmAnything you can afford will make a 
big difference. Your dollars COUNT.   And for each contribution
 you'll receive a beautiful color   bumpersticker.3. DFA’S GORE-LESS POLL: 
LET’S MAKE “OTHER” FIRSThttp://www.democracyforamerica.com/pulsepoll
Democracy for America is running a poll right now asking people to pick   a 
candidate for 2008. Based on this poll they could make an   endorsement. To our 
disappointment, Al Gore is NOT included. Even so, “Other” is   running third, 
ahead of Hillary Clinton. And “Other” in this poll is Al   Gore, since the DFA 
membership is extremely Gore friendly. Please vote   in this poll and select 
other for the candidate. And include your   comments.
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/pulsepoll  4. BIRTHDAY LETTERAl 
Gore's birthday is coming up on March 31. This is the perfect time   to write 
him a letter to send him your wishes and tell him why you think   it's so 
important that he run for president. Here's his address (sorry,   no email ...
