-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Dave Hartley http://www.asheville-computer.com/dave -----Original Message----- From: Catherine Austin Fitts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2000 7:15 PM To: Dave Hartley "I know that you believe what you are telling me is the truth but I cannot believe it." -U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter's reply to a eyewitness's description of Auschwitz in 1943 "The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it." -Dr. Joseph Mengle, Nazi research doctor recruited by the US intelligence community to help teach and promote mind control programming of US children for covert operations in the US. "Omission is the most powerful form of lie." -George Orwell If we can face it, God can fix it" -Bishop Alfred Owens About a year ago, I came to the conclusion that the addiction of the American financial system to "cocaine capital" was so bad that it was pointless to try to build a new investment business. Whether with campaign fundraising or the kind of money laundering we are watching at everything from a local mortgage banking business to Bank of New York, we have reached a point where there is no way that a company in the investment business can be competitive unless it plays ball with organized crime. The Solari team's performance through the 1990's has satisfied me that with the Solari Investment Model ethical businesses can produce a higher return on investment than those financed with low cost "cocaine" capital in head to head competition in the marketplace, if the rule of law prevails. Without the rule of law, we have not found a way to overcome the additional risks associated with domestic covert operations that will move to ensure that successes would be reversed. So I decided last year that instead of building Solari, I would reorganize my life and my location to try to understand how I might develop a business that would help my family, my church family, my friends and I deal with the risks we are all managing. Today, I reached a crossroads, and I very much need your prayers. Here are just some of the things that happened this week: * A radio talk show host in Jackson Tennessee interviewed some kids from Jackson High School. They estimated that 85% of the kids were using drugs. A family member reported to me today that this resulted in disciplinary action being taken against the kids by the school principal; * The House Select Intelligence Committee held closed hearings on Volume II of the CIA Inspector General's report regarding Gary Webb's Dark Alliance allegations that the intelligence networks run by George H. W. Bush as Vice President, including the arms-drugs transshipment operation at Mena Arkansas overseen by Bill and Hillary Clinton, used cocaine to finance covert operations, fueling the network of cocaine distribution in South Central LA that branched out into the Mid-west and Southern states, including Tennessee, during the 1980's. Volume II was published on October 8, 1998, one hour after Henry Hyde's Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with the President's impeachment, and was critical to shutting down any serious effort to impeach Bill Clinton. Congressional calls for open hearings (the hearing and its transcript and testimony accessible to you and me) ceased when Congresswoman Maxine Waters's district got a large HUD grant earlier that year. The CIA's own admissions of drug dealing in their network, and their Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Justice freeing them of any obligation to report drug dealing by their networks, are only one of many confirmations and reports on the Bush-Clinton operation at Mena, Arkansas during Iran Contra. * Numerous Internet media reported that we have passed the two million mark in # of people in American prisons. We now have 5% of the world population and 25% of the world's prison population. Leading the way is Governor George W. Bush who has overseen an almost 400% increase in the Texas prison population as governor. This is the same George W. Bush who picked up the kilo of cocaine from Barry Seal who brought it down from Mena to Miami as part of the drug distribution operations he ran part of George H. W. Bush's networks to finance the Contras At the national level, the Clintons, with the help of Gore and Cuomo's "reengineering government" initiatives have led the mandatory sentencing, longer sentences and prison privatization, that are the hallmark of attracting $1/2 trillion private capital into prison construction, ownership and management. This is big business for corporations and governments, especially with prisoners being shipped long distances. I read this week in the Feb issue of Harpers Magazine that New York state projects making $21MM from long distance call charges on prisoners. * Harper's Magazine (Feb edition) provided a long, detailed report on the manipulation of government financing, contracts and public and private endowments and pension funds to ensure the personal wealth of George W. Bush and the Bush network. While the writer stated that nothing was legally wrong, I disagree. Any reading of fiduciary law and principles that guides the investment our tax money and our retirement savings will show that criminal violations are rampant. Now that America is deeply in debt, the invasion of our retirement savings by public officials to benefit special interests is no laughing matter. While I have yet to see a detailed description of what the Clinton's did with Arkansas pension funds and endowments, the record of Hillary Clinton and her partners in the Rose law firm during the period for Jackson Stephens, the Arkansas Development Finance Agency, or in connection with the First American operation, can certainly match the Bush's for lack of regard for principles of fiduciary principles and the law. * Progressive Review reported that the "Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act" has made it onto the California March 2000 ballot. Supported by the prison guard association and corporations in the prison industry or who use cheap prison labor, the Act provides for much greater ease of putting children in prison. When Solari estimated that the prison population was going to reach 2.5-3.5MM people with a total of 15MM under the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system, we were assuming current policy, but not changes to the eligibility of children. Also, our estimates of costs (GAO reports $154,000 per person in 1996) did not include the increases that will result from significant reduction in eligible ages. * I was notified by my attorneys that the federal government is requiring what I estimate will be up to $1million of additional highly duplicative subpoena compliance work in what has been a four year investigation of me and my companies to prevent our prototyping of community databanks, on line access for communities and neighborhood REITS and stock corporations from proceeding. My companies, my insurance company, my colleagues, my creditors and I have now spent cash or lost equity of $100-250 MM in the process of managing 19 audits, investigations, and inquiries as well as ongoing physical harassment and surveillance. Meantime, the Clinton Administration is proceeding with implementing many of our local data servicing business ideas, but with prison labor in Unicor, the Department of Justice's private operation which markets prison labor to the federal government and Secretary Cuomo continues to withhold over $2MM owed to one of my companies for work performed and used by HUD. Before we judge children who deal drugs too harshly we should ask why the government, who is profiting from the drug dealing according to the CIA Inspector General and a few other sources, is spending $40 MM of taxpayers money (our estimate of the cost of this affair to the government so far) in this instance to make sure on line jobs and education are not available as an alternative. * HUD enforcement tools backing up nationwide gentrification got a big boost as A U.S. federal appeals court ruled that tenants in public housing can be evicted for a household member's drug use, even if they did not know about it. In a 2-1 decision on Monday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a 1988 federal law that allows local housing authorities to apply the Department of Housing and Urban Development's "one-strike" policy. The closely watched case was the first challenge to the 1991 policy, which applies to more than 3 million low-income tenants nationwide, to reach the appellate court level. So a mother who is innocent and without knowledge of a child's drug use, can lose her home while HUD continues to issue non recourse debt to developers in her neighborhood who are free to get debt forgiveness when they default. Meantime, Congress is readying changes to the bankruptcy code to make sure that consumers can not avoid paying off credit card debt even in bankruptcy. * When I arrived in Tennessee last Sunday, my phone line was dead. It was finally repaired late Wednesday. It turned out the wire connecting my line at the box down the road had gotten somehow "disconnected". I am concerned that this not be an indication that the harassment I left Washington to avoid may follow me here. * My cousin Will Louise Hanna died. Along with the sun rising and setting each day, this was one of the few natural events in my week and surely the most important and the saddest one. My cousin Jane says "nothing that is not decent lasts." Will Louise was a powerful force for decency in our lives. * I heard no mention of any of these events in any national media. This was not a surprise. Late last year a showing of Mike McNulty's new video on Waco disclosed to 170 reporters and 200 administration officials in Washington that we had authorized the planned and intentional killing of the residents at Waco in 1993 and had then lied about it. Film clips showed military snipers machine gunning people as they tried to flee the burning building. Former CIA and FBI officials provided corroborating testimony on camera. No mention of the video or the new information has yet to surface in the national media to my knowledge. * I heard no mention of these events or their absence from any national media in church in Jackson, Tennessee today on Sunday. * At Gigi's for breakfast after church, I lost my temper . I believe that my family and friends, and certainly their children and grandchildren, are in very real danger and that silence is a pathway that no longer leads to personal safety. My sense is that many of us believe that so long as we mind our own business, people like us will be safe. For some reason, I can not seem to communicate why we have to get off the Titanic and start building arks now. For the first time, I am beginning to realize that perhaps God wants me to help those who are willing to face what is happening. The most precious thing that each one of us has is our time, our health and our attention. I want to use mine to make sure that I and the people I love are safe. After more than a year, I do not see a pathway to do that. In too many of the places where I am, the truth of what is happening is an unspeakable topic, not fit for polite conversation. Or it is boring. Depressing. As long as we can not face it, God can not fix it. I do not see a pathway to make myself or just a few of us safe alone. Genocide is not a profitable business long run. Ultimately, it eats its way around the circle until it reaches us all...or our kids or our grandkids. If you look at how the money works in America, my family and I are profitable targets---our retirements savings and pension plans are plums being plucked, and plucked again if the deficit problems continues and the stock market does not keep going up. I need you to pray for me. Please pray that I and my colleagues at Solari understand what God wants us to do and that we will have the faith and the courage to do it. Please pray that we can find a way to invest our time in moving forward to do something useful..... pray the government ceases from breaking the law and decides to honor its debts by paying us the money we are owed for work delivered and used. Please say a prayer for the people, for all of us. Please pray that we hear what God wants us to do.
