They’dhave to reincarnate a number of times to complete the sentence. When you observethe background to Noriega’s arrest, it is extremely relevant to know that the menthe Bush regime imposed on the people of Panama to replace Noriega were closelyconnected with the money laundering, drug trafficking, business. The newpresident, Guillermo Endara, was an official of at least six banks involved in drugmoney-laundering. The money laundered through these sources came from theColombian drug smuggling ring led by Augusto Falcon and Salvador Magluta, whowere reported to be smuggling one ton of cocaine a month into Florida from the late1970s until 1987.5 The new vice president of Panama installed by Bush was RicardoArias Calderon, whose brother was president of the First Internamericas Bank when it was controlled by the Cali drug cartel. Official figures show that drug traffickingand money laundering in Panama after Noriega has been greater than it was whenhe was there. One of those captured by the invading US forces was the Mossadagent, Michael “Freddy” Harari, who, with other operatives like David Kimche,worked with the CIA on behalf of Mossad with the Medellin and Cali drug cartels.He was allowed to escape in an Israeli jet because, if he had been put on trial, thewhole CIA-Mossad drug operation would have been blown.6The War on DrugsGeorge Bush became America’s ‘Mr War on Drugs’. Hard to believe when you seethe company he kept and the operations he was involved in during Iran-Contra andthe invasion of Panama. Bush is a global drug trafficker!He led ‘anti-drug’ campaigns during the Nixon and Reagan presidencies andanother during his own. None of them worked, and, in the words of CongressmanGlenn English, his war on drugs was “little more than lip service and pressreleases”. One of these claimed that his South Florida Task Force, set up underReagan, had ended the marijuana trade in South Florida. This was an outrageousclaim, but when Francis Mullen Jr, of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),challenged the statement, he was sacked. Bush even used the CIA to arrange drug’busts’ that were designed to give the public the impression that he was succeeding.CIA operative, Trenton Parker, has told how the Colombian drug dealers eachdonated cocaine which was landed at Miami International Airport in March 1980and left in a place where it would be found by customs officials.7 This is often doneto give the illusion of success. On other occasions the small fry are targeted whilethe major players, with their links to the highest levels of world politics andintelligence, are allowed to ply their trade unmolested. Only rarely do genuineofficials apprehend the big names. Even then it can be because they have outlivedtheir usefulness to the manipulators. Parker also described how it was the CIA whocalled together the top Colombian drug dealers for two meetings in late 1981 underthe Reagan-Bush administration to form a cartel to improve the shipment of drugsinto the United States. The first meeting, he said, took place at the HotelInternational in Medellin, attended by about 200 drug dealers. The now infamousMedellin Cartel was officially created in December 1981.8 The CIA formed theColombian drug cartels? Yes. But, then, what is amazing anymore?Nothing of substance that Bush promised in his various drug ‘campaigns’ wasever delivered and, more than that, the revelations of his links with drug dealerscontinue to mount, as they do with Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. We have alreadyseen the Shackley-Gregg-Rodriguez connections through the Iran-Contra arms-fordrugs scandal when more – not fewer – hard drugs were brought into the UnitedStates to further destabilise American society. For fourteen years Bush was also afriend of Don Aronow, who (according to one published account9 and a number ofother researchers) was connected with the Meyer Lansky crime syndicate, drugrunning and drug money laundering. Then there is the Zapata Oil Corporation,which was set up by George Bush. This company was a CIA front and that its subsidiary, Zapata Offshore, was implicated in drug smuggling while Bush was itstop man. Michael Maholy, who worked for the State Department and the CIA fortwo decades, said that drugs were brought by sea to the Zapata Offshore rigs,unloaded, and then flown ashore in the helicopters, constantly carrying goods andpersonnel between the rigs and the American mainland. He said he saw thishappening and confirmed it through the cables that he handled. Maholy said theships of a company called Pacific Seafood were used to ferry the drugs betweencountries.10It is a big mental leap, I know, to appreciate that the world market in illegal harddrugs is controlled and supervised by Elite elements within organisations like theCIA and British Intelligence, which are supposed to be there to protect society fromthe consequences of hard drug addiction. But there it is. Nothing is ever what itseems. It has been accepted that the CIA experimented with LSD before it waspromoted as the ‘freedom’ drug of the 1960s. The Elite have been involved in themanipulation of society through drugs for a very long time. It goes back manycenturies and reached a new peak with the Opium Wars against China in 1840 and1858, when Chinese efforts to stop the flow of opium into their country werethwarted by the might of the British Empire. Queen Victoria’s Prime Minister, whowas involved in both wars, was Lord Palmerston, the Grand Patriarch or Master ofGrand Orient (Illuminati) Freemasonry and a member of the Committee of 300. Thevehicle for this trade in opium from India to China and elsewhere was the EastIndia Company, a group of Scottish merchants who were aligned with the Knightsof St John of Jerusalem and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Some researchersbelieve that the company’s real masters were the banking families of northern Italy,the Black Nobility.11The strategy used by the British in China has become a blueprint for invasionby-drug-addiction ever since. They sponsored a mass addiction to opium untilChinese society and vitality was torn asunder. The British government used anetwork of terrorism and organised crime, like the Triads, the Hong Society, and theAssassins, to carry out the trade on their behalf. When the Chinese rulers reacted tostop the supply, the British used their military and naval might to defeat them. Andthe ‘peace’ treaty after the conflict then gave the British a guaranteed right toincrease the flow of opium; to be paid compensation for the opium the Chineserulers had confiscated; and to have sovereignty over strategic ports and offshoreislands. This is how Hong Kong came under British rule. It was used as the centrefor Far East drug trafficking and that is still its role today.Most of the gold and money transactions on the Hong Kong financial marketsare the pay-offs and money laundering of the drug trade. The Treaty of Nanking of1842 gave Britain control over Hong Kong, plus $21 million in silver. It was writtenby the colonial minister, Edward Bulwer-Lytton (Comm 300), whose writings wereto so inspire Hitler, the Nazis, and others such as Madame Blavatsky. His son wasthe Viceroy of India at the height of the opium trade between India and China, aperiod camouflaged by the writings of Rudyard Kipling about the British Raj(British drug runners). In the book, The Opium Clippers, Basil Lubbock names the owners of the British vessels engaged in the opium trade as the East IndiaCompany; Jardine Matheson; Dent and Co; Pybus Bros; Russell and Co; Cama Bros;Duchess of Atholl; the Earl of Balcarras; King George IV, The Prince Regent; TheMarquis of Camden; and Lady Melville. It was Lady Melville’s ancestor, George,who welcomed William of Orange to the throne and was made Lord Privy Seal.After the second opium war, which ended in 1860, the British merchant banksand trading companies established the Hong Kong and Shanghai Corporation asthe central bank of the Far East drug industry. According to all research I have readabout the drug network, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, with its globalconnections, continues to be a financial centre for the drug industry to this day.12 Sowas the Nugan Hand Bank (based in Sydney, Australia), another CIA/Mossadoperation run by Francis Nugan and Michael Hand, a Green Beret and a colonel inthe US Army assigned to the CIA. Hand was in frequent contact with George Bushafter his election to vice president, according to CIA operative, Trenton Parker.13Look at some principal officers of Nugan Hand: Admiral Earl F. Yates, President,chief of staff for strategic planning of US forces in Asia and the Pacific during theVietnam War; General Edwin F. Black, President of the Hawaii branch, thecommander of US troops in Thailand during the Vietnam conflict; George Farris,operative with the Washington and Hong Kong branches, a military intelligencespecialist; Bernie Houghton, the Saudi Arabia representative, a US Naval Intelligenceundercover agent; Thomas Clines, of Nugan Hand in London, a director of trainingin the CIA’s clandestine service who was involved in Iran-Contra and operated withMichael Hand and Theodore Shackley during Vietnam; Dale Holmgreen, of theTaiwan office, flight service manager in Vietnam for Civil Air Transport which laterbecame the infamous CIA airline, Air America; Walter McDonald, head of theAnnapolis, Maryland, branch, the former deputy director of CIA economic research;General Roy Manor, the Philippine branch, the chief of staff for the US Pacificcommand and the US government’s liaison with President Ferdinand Marcos;William Colby, Nugan Hand’s lawyer, a former director of the CIA.14Just the kind of people you would expect to be running a bank, eh? Well, at leastthey would be, if you wanted your bank manager to give you advice on runningcovert operations and training terrorists. A director of Nugan Hand, DonaldBeazley, was chairman of City National Bank of Miami, which handled funds forthe Anti-Defamation League.15 Michael Hand was found dead in his Mercedes Benzin the late 1970s on a remote road outside Sydney. He had ‘shot himself. It was aremarkable suicide in that he had pulled the trigger and then, before he died, hemust have wiped all his fingerprints off the gun because none were found. AnAustralian government investigation revealed that millions of dollars in NuganHand records were unaccounted for and that it was serving as a money launderingoperation for drug traffickers. These profits were being used by the CIA to financegun smuggling, and illegal covert operations around the world. There was alsoevidence that the CIA was using the bank to pay for political campaigns againstpoliticians in many countries, including Australia, to ensure the voters supportedthe CIA choice. Yes, this is still the ‘free’ world we are talking about. Banks with household names across the world are vehicles for laundering drugmoney as it passes from account to account until its origins are lost in the web oftransactions. The gold and diamond industries, dominated by the Rothschilds andthe Oppenheimers through companies like DeBeers, are also used to wash drugmoney. The money buys gold or diamonds from those companies and then theyare sold to produce ‘clean’ money. The network of interconnecting AngloAmerican families in the Elite web of manipulation, who have been responsible forthe engineering of conflict and economic depression through the generations, arealso behind the world illegal drugs market.16 Some of the most famous names,merchant banks, and companies in the world are making a good slice of theirfortunes directly or indirectly from the drug addiction of the young. We areentering the time when those people will have to face that responsibility publiclyas part of their eternal evolution and the public are going to be astonished at someof those involved.The same families and organisations were responsible for the slave trade andalcohol prohibition. The latter was a means to create the massive network oforganised crime in the United States. The structure thus produced was perfect, asintended, for drug trafficking once Prohibition was over. The main groupscampaigning for Prohibition and an end to the “evils of drink”, groups like theWomen’s Christian Temperance Union and its Anti-Saloon League, were financedby the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Warburgs via the Rockefeller Foundation, theRussell Sage Foundation, and similar tax-exempt foundations. Prohibition wasanother con by the Elite used for longer-term motives. Incidentally, it also made afortune for Joseph Kennedy, the father of JFK.Professor Alfred McCoy’s 1972 classic, The Politics Of Heroin In South East Asia,and his 1991 update, The Politics Of Heroin – CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade,tell of how CIA helicopters in Vietnam were carrying drugs from the fields to thedistribution points, when the American public thought they were there to fight’communism’. He describes how a Pepsi Cola bottling plant was used for this tradeand how the media suppressed this information. 58,000 Americans and goodnessknows how many Vietnamese were killed in that conflict and nothing sums upmore powerfully the lack of respect this mindset has for human life than the waythe CIA smuggled drugs into America in plastic bags hidden in the body cavities ofthe dead soldiers being returned home for burial from Vietnam. CIA operative,Gunthar Russbacher, has told how some bodies were gutted and filled with drugsfor shipment back to the States.17 The bodies carried secret codes which allowedthose carrying the drugs to be identified on arrival at West Coast airbases,particularly the Travis Air Force Base in California. The drugs were then removedand made available for the young people of America.One man who had his eyes opened to all this during the Bush presidency wasLieutenant Colonel James “Bo” Gritz, one of America’s most decorated soldiers,with sixty-two citations for valour, five Silver Stars, eight Bronze Stars, two PurpleHearts, and a Presidential Citation. My outlook on life and that of Bo Gritz couldhardly be further apart, but his experiences deserve to be heard by anyone who thinks that government is still – or ever was – ‘for’ and ‘by’ the people. In anaddress to the American Liberty Lunch Club, recorded on the video, A NationBetrayed, Gritz describes how he twice visited a man called Khun Sa, who was therecognised “overlord” of heroin trafficking in the Golden Triangle of the Far East.Heroin is a derivative of opium. Gritz became involved when he was told that therelease of US prisoners of war (still being held after the conflicts in Laos) was beingstopped by American government officials involved in drug trafficking. He foundthis to be correct. The government did not want the prisoners released becausethey knew about their officials’ involvement in the drug trade and might talkabout it when they returned home. Kuhn Sa and his operatives in the GoldenTriangle told Gritz about some of the Americans they had worked with in the past.They named Theodore Shackley, whom George Bush appointed to a top job in theCIA and used as a ‘speech writer’. They also listed Richard Armitage, then a USEmbassy official and later on the campaign staff of Ronald Reagan, who appointedhim the assistant secretary of defense. No wonder there was so little interest inreleasing US prisoners of war who could blow the whole thing. Armitage isreported to be a close friend and advisor to Colin Powell, the US Chief of Staffduring the Gulf War, who was presented as a possible presidential candidate,standing as a self-styled “Rockefeller Republican”.18The Elite are involved in drugs for three main reasons. First to make unthinkableamounts of money – billions per year – to finance covert operations against electedgovernments and society in general. Drug profits produce money which does notneed to be channelled from government sources where it could be traced. Secondly,the ‘problem’ of drugs has produced (understandably) such a reaction of”something must be done” that people are agreeing to the erosion of rights andfreedoms in a way that they never would unless there was a ‘solution’ required to’stop’ the supply of drugs and its terrible effect on the structure of society. It alsoprovides the US (Global Elite) with an excuse to intervene in the affairs of othercountries. Thirdly, we have the opium-to-China syndrome. If you want to divideand rule and stop people manifesting their full potential, what better way of doingit than to get a significant section of the young generation (and many othersbesides) hooked on hard drugs? What the British provably did to the Chinese iswhat the Elite is seeking to do to the young people of the world, to sap their naturalvitality, their sense of worth, and the knowledge of their infinite potential to achieveanything they wish to achieve. The war on drugs is another phoney war. As BoGritz put it:“No president that’s ever declared a war on drugs has ever fought one.”19And Michael Levine, a former agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration,said that the war on drugs was the:“…biggest, whitest, and deadliest lie ever perpetrated on US citizens by theirgovernment. And who have been the two frontmen for every “war on drugs” since the Nixonadministration? George Bush and Bill Clinton. We’ll hear more of Clinton’s drugactivities shortly.The Gulf WarGeorge Bush is an oilman. Much of his colossal fortune comes from oil and thosecompanies provided the bulk of his election funds. When Bush policies led to a risein the price of oil, both his income and that of the oil cartel went up by enormousamounts. It was the same for another oilman, James Baker, Bush’s secretary of state.In the wider sense, the more the Arab oil producers could be divided, the morepower the United States, the British, and other industrial countries would have overthem. Conflict in the Middle East, which raises the price of oil and causes turmoiland hostility within the Arab world, is good for oilmen and good for divide andrule. If you can arrange such conflict to involve a group of countries fighting underthe United Nations flag, you are accelerating the move to a world army undercentral global control – one of the fundamental aims of the New World Order. TheGulf War did all of these things. If Saddam Hussein, a close friend of Bush for manyyears, was not in on the plot, then he was brilliantly set up.In July 1990 Bush attended the NATO Summit at Lancaster House in London,chaired by the NATO Secretary General, Manfred Worner, who (like his predecessor,Lord Carrington) was a Bilderberger. Some researchers established that the possibilityof a new Middle East War was discussed and so was the deployment of NATO forcesoutside their designated region, the so-called “out-of-area” deployment. From thisSummit came the London Declaration which called for closer cooperation betweenNATO and the countries of the former Soviet Union. This has since evolved, as wasalways intended, into the policy of absorbing those countries into NATO as part ofthe world army strategy. The Elite is obviously anxious to make sure this absorptionpolicy is adopted, because once NATO begins to expand and operate outside Europeand the North Atlantic, it gets ever closer to being a world army. The idea is to extendNATO’s area of operations by inviting more countries to join and to engineer eventsusing the problem-reaction-solution strategy which lead to a fusion of NATO and theUN ‘peacekeeping’ forces and the formation of the world army. This is thebackground from which the Gulf War needs to be viewed.Disputes between Iraq and Kuwait are not new. Kuwait has been under Britishand Elite control back to the days when the economic potential of oil was discovered.It is a dictatorship, an unpleasant one, and the idea that the Gulf War was to ‘free’Kuwait is just ridiculous. If Kuwait is to be freed, the dictators of the Royal Familyelites need to give up their power and the British manipulation of that country andits people has to end. Saddam Hussein was encouraged by the Americans and theBritish to go to war with Iran in 1980. If the findings of some researchers areaccurate, Saddam was led to believe by British and American Intelligence that theKhomeini regime was in such chaos, the war would be over quickly. They lied. Itdragged on for eight years amid appalling suffering and loss of life. But it was goodfor the oil companies, the banks, the armament companies, and divide and rule.
