Ron Paul: New Hampshire Voter Fraud

Victoria Collier Interviews Head Voter News Service

WHO COUNTS THE AMERICAN VOTE? by Victoria Collier

Update: August, 2010 — This interview was wholly unexpected, and I admit to feeling ill-prepared. I was 24 years old, working for a small independent activist newspaper, The Asheville Global Report (AGR). I called Voter News Service (VNS) looking for a brochure. Never would I have expected the CEO of a major media consortium to get on the phone and confront me directly. Pretty incredible, when you think about it.

I happened to have a tape recorder connected to my phone, something I didn’t admit in the AGR, since I did not disclose the fact to Bill Headline. 

VNS has morphed again into National Election Pool.

Despite the widespread belief that the government in some capacity counts the national vote on election night, the reality is entirely different. The final vote for Congress and the Presidency is tallied and reported by a little-known private corporation named Voter News Services (VNS) located in New York City. VNS is a media consortium comprised of all the major networks: ABC, CBS, NBC, including Fox and CNN, and also the wire services, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

All of the precinct vote results aggregated and tabulated in each county, mainly by privately owned and serviced computers, are transferred to VNS where they are again aggregated and tabulated, and finally the totals are disseminated to the individual media networks, and then to the public, who accepts them without question.

The votes are processed at each step by secretly programmed software. Only the corporations who program the software know if fraud has been committed within their “black box” programming. There is no oversight. The software is not open to public scrutiny. Neither is VNS.

VNS has existed in secrecy for over thirty years, and may be the most powerful corporation in the world. Created in 1964 as News Election Services (NES), it changed its name in to Voter News Service (VNS)  in 1993. It retains the same small staff. The few Americans who know of their existence incorrectly believe they’re solely a polling organization. The fact is that they have, without public knowledge, co-opted the vote count in America, despite their claims that the results they disseminate are “unofficial.”

VNS results are accepted across the board on election night by American voters and election officials. There is no check on the veracity of their reported totals — and indeed, with all our votes counted in the electronic dark, there can be no check. VNS is very well aware of this uncontested power. They know that few Americans have the time or inclination to question or challenge the vote count. They also know that when they are challenged, they have little to fear in the way of exposure, as they ARE the media. Understandably, they have responded to accusations of vote fraud with the arrogance befitting the power of a private and unaccountable media corporation.

As reported by investigative journalists James and Kenneth Collier in the book “Votescam: The Stealing of America,” evidence does exist proving conspiracy to rig the 1970 Dade County election, involving the local media. Parties include the League of Women Voters, top elections officials, and the Miami television networks, who knowingly reported false results to the public based on the claim that the courtouse vote counting computer had broken down — which it had not. Official election results were falsified to match the network totals, and the signatures of thousands of elections canvassers were forged..

This FBI documented evidence was suppressed by top officials including Janet Reno, then Assistant State Attorney in Florida.

If local networks in 1970 had the capacity to report false results to the public with the collusion of criminals within the elections Establishment and the Justice Department, what does it mean that a major media consortium operating in total secrecy has control over the tallying and reporting of national election results?

No one — not even the infamously pushy Geraldo Rivera —  has ever been allowed into the headquarters of VNS or NES. I should know. I tried to infiltrated them when I was 16 years old, and their headquarters were located in the World Trade Center. Claiming I was terribly sick and my “aunt” who worked for VNS had my medication (plausible? no?). The VNS guards refused to let me — small girl in shorts and a t-shirt —  go upstairs, even with a security guard. They offered to use one of WTC ambulances to take me to the hospital.

Yup, hard to get past that locked door where our nation’s votes are under the control of the corporate media . . .

History:

On May 18th, E. Baylis, a reporter for the Asheville Global Report called VNS requesting what public information they may have about their organization. Ms. Baylis spoke with Lee C. Shapiro, press secretary for VNS. The simple conversation was quickly aborted when Baylis asked if a citizen watchdog group existed to oversee the function of VNS on election night. Shapiro replied that she was “not going to get into this with you,” and insisted she had a meeting to attend.

On May 20th, another Global Report writer, Victoria Collier, called VNS. She was told that Ms. Shapiro was in a meeting. Collier asked only one question: if there was any literature about VNS that could be sent through the mail, such as a brochure. The secretary had no answer, then put her on hold for nearly five minutes. The next person to appear on the other end of the line was the head of VNS himself, Bill Headline. He wanted to know why she was calling. The following is the transcript of the ensuing conversation.

Note- The stuttering and stammering on the part of Bill Headline has been largely edited for the sake of the reader. What remains is necessary to give you a feeling for his extreme nervousness.

Interview with Bill Headline–VNS Executive Director, New York City May 20, 2000

Collier- Yes, I was calling to ask if you had any information you could send to me. Any literature about your organization.

Headline- Ah, well. . . um. . . . . (laughs) . . I hesitate only because we don’t really have anything in the way of literature. Uh. . . we have a fax sheet that we’re in the process of putting together but it’s not ready for distribution. Um. . .

Collier- Oh. And you don’t have a Website?

Headline- Well, no, we don’t have a Website.

Collier- But, people poll for you? I mean, you do poll?

Headline- We. . uh, we do exit polling.

Collier- Do you have volunteers who do that?

Headline- No, we hire people around the country to do that.

Collier- So, if somebody wanted to work for you, how would they get information on how to do it?

Headline- Well they would, uh. . . they would drop us a note and say that they were interested in. . uh. . in doing that. And I’d be happy to uh. . . to receive such a note. And uh. . . we have a . . uh. . . a group of people who recruit for exit polling on election night.

Collier- Well, it is strange that you don’t have any written information that you could send out. I mean–

Headline- Why is it strange?

Collier- Well just because your organization has been around for such a long time, and it seems that in all this time there would be something written up. For the public?

Headline- We uh. . . we do a little, a little . . . as I say, we have a fax that’s in uh, that’s in development. And uh, we have a . . . a brochure that gets sent out to people who have been hired to work for us.

Collier- Oh, you do have a brochure.

Headline- A. . . well, brochure is kind of stretching it, it’s a. . . it’s one page.

Collier- It’s one page?

Headline- But I, uh. . I mean. . .(laughs) I am aware that this is not the first contact between uh. . . uh. . . your organization and ours. So, I mean. . . . What is it that you want to know?

Collier- I would like to know exactly what it is that you do on election night. That’s–

Headline- And why do you want to know this?

Collier- Because I’m . . . I’m a voter.

Headline- But that’s not why you’re calling us.

Collier- Well, actually that is why. That’s it. Of course, I’m sure you’re aware of certain charges, of. . . secrecy, I guess, that have been brought against what was NES, and I think you’re the same group– you’re VNS now– and I’m really just checking it out for myself, to see if I can get information. Because I really wasn’t aware of the importance of your group in vote counting on election night. I just want to get information on what it is you do. And the question that was asked to Lee C. Shapiro last week that I think caused the problem was: Is there a citizen organization that oversees VNS on election night to make sure that all of the votes are being tallied correctly? But there wasn’t an answer to that.

Headline- Well there are a couple of answers to that. First of all, uh. . .our sources. . . Well, we do three things. We do exit polling, and we. . .uh. . .we make statistical models of each state, and we collect the vote from those models . . from those model precincts. And we, uh. . . we collect the entire vote from across the country, primarily at the county level. So, you know. . . is there a citizen group? No, there’s not a citizen group. Is there a . . . a double check? Yes, the official results don’t come from us, they come from. . . from, uh, states. States and. . . and counties.

Collier- Right.

Headline- Uh. . .we’re. . .uh. . . we’re. . in the long run it’s those results that are the official results, and . . . uh. . .uh. . . if you look at the history of the organization, the history of what. . . what we do, um. . . uh, (laughs). . . the official results are the final answer. And we have. . . Well, I can’t give you any statistical information because I don’t think there’s ever been any need to do it, but . . . we’ve. . . we’ve never been out of sync with the official results.

Collier- No, you haven’t, actually your vote projections in particular are remarkably in sync with the official results, which I think has been questioned in the past. That might be something a lot of people might be interested in, which is –

Headline- If- if- if you see a conspiracy there, uh. . .

Collier- No, that’s not what I said. I think –

Headline- That’s been the accusation, I think, or one of the accusations . .

Collier- No, that isn’t what I said. Actually the question is simply, how exactly do you. . . what’s the formula for the vote total projections? You’re projecting the vote totals almost perfectly, before the polls even close. You use exit polling for this? You’re saying that you use certain precincts that you get your exit polling from and they would be, I guess, key precincts?

Headline- Well key precincts isn’t, uh. . . isn’t the, uh. . . isn’t uh, the terminology that we use because it’s. . . that’s confusing, although it has been used in the past. They are simply sample precincts. They are part of the statistical sample, of the country.

Collier- Do you use the same precincts in each election?

Headline- No.

Collier- No? So . . .

Headline- We- we- we, we sample them. This is something that the statisticians understand better than I do.

Collier- Really? What’s your position?

Headline- I run the place.

Collier- You’re the president?

Headline- No, I’m executive director.

Collier- Executive director. Okay, I don’t want to quote you incorrectly. Spell your name?

Headline- Bill Headline. H-E-A-D-L-I-N-E.

Collier- Okay. . . Is Robert Flaherty still the president?

Headline- No.

Collier- Not anymore?

Headline- He never was. He might’ve been at NES. I don’t know what those titles were. He is a former executive director.

Collier- Oh, so you’re top of the line then.

Headline- (laughs) I like to think so.

Collier- How long have you been working with VNS?

Headline- I’ve been this shop a little over two years.

(Explains the name changed from NES to VNS in 1993)

Collier- So you only do exit polls, you don’t do entrance polls?

Headline- Well entrance polls, uh . . . uh. . . they’ve been used occasionally when it’s difficult for whatever reasons to exit poll. But the preference is to do exit polls.

Collier- Okay. So then in the upcoming election, would it be possible to. . . well, would it be possible for me, for example, to take part in the exit polling?

Headline- (long pause) Um. . . . if. . . if there was a . . .a . . .a sample precinct in uh. . . in your area, and it made sense to hire you to . . . to do that , it’s . . it’s theoretically possible. I- I- I must tell you that, uh . . . uh . . . it would not be something that we would want to do, because what you try to do in exit polling, in any polling, is to have the process as pure as you can, and uh. . . the purity in, uh . . . in this case. . . has to do with someone who has uh. . . uh. . . only kind of a general interest in doing it. You’re . . . I would not want to hire you because you’ve . . you or your organization has been antagonists for reasons that I don’t understand, uh . . . and, uh . . . and, uh . . .

Collier- I don’t have an organization. Actually I’m not even on staff at the Global Report, I just – -

Headline- Well, you represent yourself as being from the Global Report.

Collier- I’m writing for the Global Report. Actually I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to speak to anybody if I didn’t have some kind of an organization, either a newspaper or something else behind me–

Headline- Right.

Collier- Which I do. But you know, I’m not on staff with them, and really I am- I’m a voter. I’m just a person, a citizen, who’s interested.

Headline- Right.

Collier- That’s all. And I think, well, isn’t that criteria for working for the exit polls?

Headline- Well, uh . . . generally speaking, it’s nice to have some polling experience, but, uh. . . but that’s not absolutely necessary. We recruit people who have an interest in doing the job, and will rehearse according to our directions and follow the directions that are part of the polling package. And certainly you . . uh. . . you might well qualify.

Collier- Well listen, I am not antagonistic. And I certainly hope I haven’t been in this telephone call. I’m just interested in the voting procedure, and I’m. . . you know, I’m just a politically active person.

Headline- Right.

Collier- I’m just interested in it. So I don’t see how I wouldn’t qualify. And I really would enjoy doing it. And it’s not that I’m unaware of the problems that certain people have had with your organization, but I’m willing to look at everything unbiasedly. I just want to see how it runs.

Headline- Right, right. . .

Collier- So, how would I go about doing this?

Headline- Drop me a line.

Collier- Well, I am. I’m dropping you a line. This is the line.

Headline- Okay. Okay.

Collier- So, what’s the next step?

Headline- Uh. . . uh, if. . . if you’ll drop me a line, I’ll get it into the hands of the people who do the recruiting, and uh. . . and, we’ll see where it goes from there. And I’m, I’m willing to pass that along without any. . . without any comments or restrictions.

Collier- Okay. I’m glad I’m speaking to you, because I really did want to speak to somebody and I know that Ms. Shapiro isn’t in today, and I did have a question. I mean, if you’re concerned about the antagonism then it’s a good opportunity to clear up some of the –

Headline- Well, she had had a conversation with somebody from the Global Report the other day that was less than satisfactory. I guess in every respect.

Collier- I know.

Headline- So she’s a little cautious about, about –

Collier- I think what it was, was that she (the GR reporter) had asked if there was a citizen oversight group for VNS and Ms. Shapiro said she didn’t want to “get into it.” Then I think that there was an accusation that Ms. Shapiro was being evasive. And, you know, that wasn’t necessary, I’m sure that there is an answer- and there is. The answer is; No, there isn’t a citizen group. And that would’ve been sufficient.

Headline- Right. Well the point there is that. . . uh. . . is that if, if our results are. . . are. . . uh, not accurate, uh. . . then our credibility ceases. And uh. . .

Collier- But, you see –

Headline- We feel like there’s a. . . a substantial body out there of official election result collectors, with whom we, uh. . . with whom we have to be in sync.

Collier- Well, I’m pretty sure you’re aware of the book “Votescam?”

Headline- Uh, yes.

Collier- I’m just assuming you are.

Headline- I’m not intimately aware of it, I’m aware that, uh. . . that such a book exists. That it made all sorts of allegations about what we do and how we do it and why we do it.

Collier- Well, I think the main problem there is that there were two reporters who actually had come up with really massive evidence of vote fraud, and then when they went to get it to the Media, the Media was unwilling to investigate the charges. And so, of course, because the Media is so powerful, they couldn’t get anywhere with the story. And if that ever is truly a problem, as it had been, considering that you ARE the Media, then the question comes into play; Is there a citizen watchdog group, and an independant media source that could report on vote fraud? How could they do it, if you’re the Media, and you’re in the process of counting the votes, and nobody’s allowed in to watch the process?

Headline- Well, what I would suggest to you is, in the current Media climate, if there was any, uh. . . any substance in any allegation about vote fraud, that there would be all sorts of Media people out there, uh. . .uh, who would be not only willing but anxious to jump in and prove it.

Collier- Well, you would think so. You would definitely think so. But that hasn’t been the case.

Headline- Well, what I’m suggesting to you is that, given the importance and influence of the Internet, the fact that many Internet publications seem to. . .uh. . . exist with a different set of rules than the ones that we’re used to, uh. . . I don’t think you’d find much hesitation in attacking us if there was anything to attack.

Collier- Well, there already is more than one Website and many reporters doing just that. But you know, they’re really only attacking from outside the gates. They aren’t allowed in. And maybe that would fix the problem, if on election night one of these independent media groups was able to take part or at least witness what goes on.

Headline- But, but. . tell me what the problem is!

Collier- The problem is simply that they can’t. They can’t get in.  [*TRANSPARENCY*~jude ]

Headline- No, but, tell me. . . tell me what the allegations are. Is there any evidence that anything that we’ve ever done is, uh. . has been illicit or immoral? Or has –

Collier- There’s actually very little evidence of anything because nobody can get in.

Headline- No, but. . . but, but you or the people who you’ve been associated with are questioning what. . . what we do and how we do it, uh . . . as if there was some wrong that’s been done out there.

Collier- Well, actually, there is evidence. Just for example, I believe it was in Iowa, there was a- I’m not sure which election this was- there was a citizen group watching the county vote count, a paper ballot count- and then when the results were reported- it was a Buchanan support group who was watching- I believe the county results were different than the results from VNS broadcast over the news. And so, you’re right, it can be watched at the county level, and it was watched at the county level, but, when the supporters of Buchanan demanded the final results from the county, and this must’ve been in 1996, they have yet to receive them!

Headline- Thats. . .their battle is with the county, it’s not with us.

Collier- Well, it’s also with you, because they don’t agree with the results that they were given from you, but they need the official results from the county so that they can deal with it from there, and they still haven’t received it. So you see, you can’t depend on the goodwill of the county, necessarily.

Headline- (laughs) The official results have to be available from the county.

Collier- You would think so, but, you know, they’re not. And in most cases people are not watching the vote at the county level anyway. Although that might change in the future, as more people become aware of the need to do this. They haven’t realized the need to watch the process. And you, the Media, you don’t tell them they have to watch the process. So, you know, everyone’s asleep. Everyone simply assumes that the results they see on television are the real ones, without questioning it. And if you committed fraud, who would report on it?

Headline- Let me make something perfectly clear to you, which is that, uh. . . . . What we do. . . and how we do it . . . We have absolutely no qualms, uh. . . about how we do what we do and we have no concerns about the ethical character about what we do. And what we do is, uh. . . attempt to be as correct and. . . and as statistically correct and as accurate as we can be, and the idea that we would cook the numbers somehow is. . . is so outrageous to us, and so implausible, and impossible, that –

Collier- Why?

Headline- That we’re kind of shocked by the accusations.

Collier- How is it implausible and impossible? . . . That’s a good thing to explain! That would clear all this up.

Headline- Because we’re a creature of the six leading journalistic organizations in the country, none of whom could survive if they did that sort of thing. It’s very simple.

Collier- How is that? How is it that they couldn’t survive? Because there are already independant reporters who have tried to cover this story, vote fraud in conjunction with VNS, and they. . . they couldn’t get anywhere with it. There was a total Media blackout.

Headline- If-if-if NBC News or CBS News or the Associated Press cooked the numbers, falsely reported, and believe me, if there. . . if there was. . . lets take for example, uh. . . let’s use an example out of television. “Dateline,” and the uh. . . . and the staging that they did some years ago in the story on gas tanks exploding. I’m sure you remember that. Uh. . . General Motors pick-up trucks. Uh. . . that was discovered, and reported upon, by independant press and by everybody in the business and uh. . . .and “Dateline” took a lot of hits. They were wrong, they were proven wrong, and that’s the kind of thing that could destroy a journalistic organization. And that’s not what they’re about, that was an embarrasment to people within NBC News and to everyone in the business. And that’s not the kind of thing that anybody invites. And to cook the books, or falsely report, would open all six of our Member organizations to that kind of criticism. And –

Collier- Well, obviously.

Headline- And that’s not what we’re doing.

Collier- But the thing is- now, tell me if I’m wrong, I’m trying to understand this- If you’re a pool of all these different Media organizations, it’s not that they would be falsely reporting, necessarily, I mean they’re getting their vote totals from you. Right? Everybody’s getting the same numbers from you?

Headline- Yeah. . . They, they use them as they see fit. And they all have their own numbers as well.

Collier- They all have their own numbers? Now, wait. Look, I’m sure you can explain this to me. I want to get this straight. If, on election night, all the counties across the nation are getting their results, then do they all call you? You have headquarters at 34th street?

Headline- That’s where our offices are, yes.

Collier- Okay, so on election night, they call the results from the county–

Headline- Our reporters call.

Collier- You have reporters?

Headline- Yes.

Collier- From the different networks?

Headline- Yes-No. We hire. . .uh, county level reporters and some precinct level reporters, all over the country. Thousands of them.

Collier- You hire thousands of them.

Headline- Right.

Collier- Okay, and they call. Do you use the League of Women Voters?

Headline- In some areas.

Collier- Okay, so they’re actually calling by telephone to give you the county results?

Headline- Yes.

Collier- Okay, and you must have some kind of computer to tabulate all these results–

Headline- Yes.

Collier- And is this computer at 34th street?

Headline- No.

Collier- Where is it?

Headline- Part of it is in New Jersey, part of it is uh, wherever our, uh, National Input Center is, and part of it’s at 34th street.

Collier- Does that change each election, wherever your National Input Center is?

Headline- It changes from time to time.

Collier- And so then as you’re tabulating the results– does NBC have the same set-up? And CBS, and ABC, and AP and all those? Do they also have computers tabulating results as they’re called in?

Headline- The uh. . . the numbers. . . uh, the vote totals, Associated Press has it’s own set-up. Uh. . . and they report their own results and their results are received by all the Members along with the results that we’re reporting. And more and more there are Websites, either county Websites or statewide Websites that also count votes and people are looking at, uh. . . the Members are looking at those results, uh. . . as a supplement to what they receive from us.

Collier- Okay, so AP has it’s own set-up, and I know that they have, I believe, for a while, but yet they’re also part of VNS.

Headline- That’s true. They have different needs than the rest of the Members. The Associated Press has to report on every single election, down to Dog Catcher, for its readership in. . .in small towns across the country. The television Networks report at the statewide level.

Collier- And you’re just reporting the top of the ticket?

Headline- Right.

Collier- Okay, but aside from AP, the Networks are getting the numbers from you?

Headline- With. . . . with the caveat that more and more Websites are out there and uh. . . the Members are interested in getting as much information as they can, so they’re looking at Websites as well as our numbers, as well as AP numbers.

Collier- I’m just trying to understand how it works, that’s all– so they’re calling in vote totals from the county, but then they’re also giving you exit poll results?

Headline- We conduct the exit polls and. . . uh. . . . our exit poll people report their results to us several times during the course of an election day. Uh. . . we evaluate that information and provide our recommendations, or our interpretations, if you will, our predictions, if you want to use that word, for the Members. The Members are also conducting their own polls, and using their own sources, and checking our information against what they have, and may or may not call a particular election based on our information or based on a combination of our information and theirs, or, if they think we’re wrong, they go with their information.

Collier- Wow, this is strangely . . . complex, and really . . . casual. And yet–such accuracy! You’re numbers have often been nearly one hundred percect perfect. Okay, then this is my final question–

Headline- I don’t mean to be, difficult, or any of this, I’m uh. . . uh . . . . I’m . . . I’m really flabbergasted at the uh. . . at the nature of the allegations that have floated around there and whatever it was that uh, Votescam, uh. . . undertook to prove, because it’s so far off base that it’s, just. . . it’s just hard for me to fathom.

Collier- Well, maybe you should read the book, and then it probably wouldn’t be so shocking. It’s really not shocking. You understand that not everybody trusts the major media. That shouldn’t shock you. If it does–

Headline- I understand that, but I’ve worked in major media for thirty five years, and so I have a. . . I have a strong faith in what it is we do and why.

Collier- Well that’s good. But if anything, take the opportunity to dispel some of the fears that people–

Headline- Well that’s why I’m talking to you.

Collier- Right, so my question is, if there is nothing to worry about, is it not possible for somebody to watch the VNS process on election night? To follow the vote from wherever, if it’s in New York, if it’s in New Jersey–

Headline- If it’s in New York City then we get it from the Police Department. Because they’re the official vote counters in New York.

Collier- Okay, so. . . see, it can be confusing, because you’re getting your results from so many different places, through so many different people–

Headline- It’s not confusing.

Collier- For an outsider, I mean.

Headline- It shouldn’t be confusing. We get the vote totals from whatever the official, kind of the easiest offical source there is to get them from, which is generally at the county level.

Collier- Right, there’s not just one, across-the-board standard procedure.

Headline- Well that’s because we live in a democracy and there are 50 states and there are several thousand counties and every one of them has it’s own way of doing things.

Collier- Yes, but it seems that it’s particularly complex with the vote. I mean we all do things nationally, for example we all pay our taxes and we pretty much have to do it in the same way on the same day, so you know, we manage to organize when we have to on a national level. If we really wanted to we could organize the election process, and we should. All I’m asking is- could I, or could somebody else from an independent newspaper, or even a citizen organization, follow the vote through its processes and then, wherever VNS is located, follow it up into wherever it gets tabulated and your people are doing their thing on election night, and could we videotape the process? And it really doesn’t have to do with any ridiculous allegations, it just seems that every part of the vote counting process should be open to the public. That’s all.

Headline- I’m, I’m uh. . . First of all, I can’t make the commitment, because that’s something that would have to be approved by the Members. And I have no way of knowing what the Members . . uh. . . would be willing to go along with.

Collier- Well, what’s the problem? What would be the problem?

Headline- There, there is no problem. This is a. . . we’re private organizations, and you know, uh. . . uh. . . Mobile Oil doesn’t invite people in to see how they send out credit card bills.

Collier- But of course, this is different. This is the national vote count.

Headline- It isn’t different.

Collier- It is different.

Headline- It’s not. The official vote count is conducted at the. . uh, at the city, state, uh. . . county and state level, and nationally. Well, actually, not nationally, it’s all done at the state level, and, uh. . . and that’s the official vote. We’re a bunch of reporters who have developed methods of speeding up the process to report more quickly. And that’s. . . that’s really what we’re . . . what we’re about. And we. . . uh, regardless of what we report, the official results are the official results. And if we’re wrong, we’re wrong. We’ve been wrong, uh, occasionally, not very often. And so–

Collier- You’ve been–

Headline- And so there’s little . . . there’s little appetite to, to open up a process that’s. . . that’s basically a- a- a private process.

Collier- It’s a private process? Well, I’m telling you, this secrecy. . . this leads to the incredible allegations that you don’t understand.

Headline- Well, if- if, for some reason, there was a reason for those allegations, if- if- if it was. . . if there was any sense that we deliberately miscalled elections, uh. . .

Collier- Well there is a sense.

Headline- Uh. . . or tried in any way to influence the actual outcome, then I’d, then I’d have some sympathy for this concern of yours.

Collier- So you’re basically saying that. . . that we’ll just have to trust you, but you’re not going to show us anything that you do?

Headline- There’s . . . you know, what, what –

Collier- Listen, vote fraud is not some insane concept. I mean, it’s pretty common.

Headline- I absolutely agree with you, but what I’m telling you–

Collier- So it’s understandable to want to watch every single part of the process.

Headline- But what I’m saying is –

Collier- Why is that so difficult?

Headline- What I’m saying is that we are not the official vote count! If there’s vote fraud, then you go to the state or the county or the city where it exists. All we do is report results.

Collier- Okay, so then take the Ohio situation, one of the rare instances where anyone was paying attention to the vote count. If they got the wrong numbers from VNS and they haven’t been able to get the right results from the county, then yes, it’s definitely a problem with the county, but it’s also a problem with VNS.

Headline- What Ohio problem?

Collier- The Buchanan supporters who–

Headline- Oh, you mean the Iowa problem.

Collier- Oh, yes. I’m sorry, the Iowa problem.

Headline- Or whatever that was. . . A non problem. . .

Collier- (pause) . . .It’s a non-problem?

Headline- Yeah. And I. . . I need to do some research before I address that at any particular length.

Collier- Why do you call it a non-problem?

Headline- Because it was. . . allegations that were made in the political interest of the Buchanan folks. And they had nothing to do with reality.

Collier- Nothing to do with reality?

Headline- Yes.

Collier- Why? . . . I mean, I’m sorry but, that’s a strong statement. I just want to know what makes you say it.

Headline- Because. . . there was no basis for the accusations that were made. No basis in fact.

Collier- But I thought that you didn’t. . . that you had never heard of those allegations before.

Headline- No I didn’t say that.

Collier- Okay. You just seemed to be unfamiliar with it, so why–

Headline- I’m vaguely familiar with it.

Collier- Well then how can you say it has no basis in fact if you’re only vaguely familiar with it? That’s a strange thing to say.

Headline- No it’s not, because I . . . that’s, uh. . . that’s what I’d been told by people who work for me, uh . . . uh. . . whom I trust.

Collier- . . . Alright. Well. . . this has been a long conversation. I’m going to . . . I’m going to do that. I’m going to drop you a line.

Headline- Okay.

Collier- Like you said.

Headline- Okay.

Collier- And maybe you’ll allow me to be one of your polling people in this next election. I would also like to know if you would do me that favor and ask the Members if they would be willing to have an independant media group follow the vote. That’s all. Just follow the vote. From start to finish. It’s not that you’re being accused of anything in particular, it’s simply that you’re part of the process. And the process actually does belong to the people.

Headline- We’re part of the reporting process.

Collier- Well, that’s how people find out about the vote, through reporting. So you know, they want to be able to watch it. And people really are interested in what goes on at VNS! But if you say that it’s not something that you need to tell or show people and that it’s private, well. . . it’ll have to rest at that. But maybe you’d be willing to ask the Members–

Headline- Okay. I’m willing to ask. Just drop me a line.

Collier- Alright. I will. I appreciate your time.

On Monday, June 12, Victoria Collier again telephoned Bill Headline.

Headline- Bill Headline.

Collier- Hi, Mr. Headline. This is Victoria Collier.

Headline- How are you?

Collier- Fine thanks, I was wondering if you ever did speak to the members if it would be possible to have some independent media present at VNS on election night.

Headline- No, I was kind of waiting for you to send me a note which I thought you were going to do.

Collier- Oh, I thought I only had to send you a note about the polling.

Headline- Well, uh, I was going to use that as a reminder of. . uh. . raising questions about having an independent presence, and uh, and uh, so I have not talked to the board, but I will.

Collier- Ok, would it be helpful if I faxed something over to you?

Headline- Yup.

Collier- What’s your number?

Headline: 212-947-3925

Collier- Ok, well, I had one other question. Where will your National Input center be in November?

Headline- Uh. . .why?

Collier- (laughs) Why? I just want to know where it’s going to be.

Headline- What difference does it make?

Collier- What difference does it make if you tell me? I’m not going to show up and–

Headline- Well, the only reason that I am at all hesitant is that uh. . uh. . is that we have had occasional threats over the years that people will try to uh, disrupt what we do and uh, and therefore, I’m not at all anxious to share the location.

Collier- Really? Who has threatened you?

Headline- Uh. .uh. . .I’m not sure that I even . .this was long before I was on the scene, so I’m not sure that I know the names and the organizations, but there are some kooks out there who occasionally think there’s something goofy about what we do. . .or something wrong or improper and so uh–

Collier- Well again, you know that’s why it comes back to maybe opening up the process in an official way.

Headline- There’s nothing official. . .I have rehashed the conversation that you and I had several times and uh, you know this is a. . .this is a private operation and we have a, uh, uh–

Collier- Do you think personally, just on a personal level, on a human level, you can understand how people might feel about–

Headline- Well, I suppose conspiracy theorists might see something sinister about what we do. I’ve been in the business so long that I understand that uh, the networks and the associated press are not going to set up something which has the possibility of uh. . uh. . of being proven wrong, improper, criminal, whatever. There’s far too much at stake in terms of their reputations as news organizations, so–

Collier- I’m not talking about conspiracy theories. I just mean the fact that you do have a certain amount of control over the voting information and–

Headline- We have no control over the voting information.We collect. . .we collect results and uh, we publish them and the public record is the check and balance–

Collier- But nobody’s looking.

Headline- –and we have no control over the public record.

Collier- But see, you have psychological control over the entire process.

Headline- (laughs) Psychological control?

Collier- Sure.

Headline- If we’re wrong we’re wrong and if we’re right we’re right.

Collier- Well, that’s actually another question I had. You said that if the networks thought you were wrong on your numbers, they could use their own numbers. Why would they think that you were wrong?

Headline- They have people who are highly schooled and uh, in statsitics and in uh. . uh. . and in voting behavior and–

Collier- Oh, you mean just in the polling numbers, not on the actual vote numbers coming in?

Headline- On the polling numbers, yeah. The voting numbers coming in uh… nobody challenges us. . . because they know what the source is. . . and. . .

Collier- Right, that’s my point. Nobody challenges it and nobody in the public would ever challenge it either because they trust you.

Headline- If. . if we’re wrong..uh, uh. . we had a reporting discrepency. . it had to do with the times at which we reported votes opposed to the time when the Texas Secretary of State reported votes on the senatorial primary this year, and bingo, it was instantly challenged and uh, uh, we did a thororough analysis and went back and reconciled our records with the Texas Secretary of Strate and uh, everybody understands that it was a perfectly plausible error. But the fact is that. . uh, we. . . only because of the time we recorded things gave a report that ended up not tallying with the final official results. We were challenged instantly and. . and…

Collier- I don’t understand. . . the time at which you reported things?

Headline- At the time when we had results in, it gave one candidate a slight advantage over another candidate. It had nothing to do with the official result because this is a question between second and third place in the primary, and. . uh. . .the vote count, the leader changed . . .let’s. . . example. . .and these are not the exact times. Let’s say that at 1:45 in the morning uh, we published our report, that is we put out what we thought the results were. . .and at 2 in the morning the Texas Secretary of State put out their results, and the second and third place order was different. Well, the fact of the matter was that we were right at 1:45, but they were right at 2 a.m. and the numbers held.But, but the point is uh, that there was instant scrutiny which there would be anywhere.

Collier- No, that’s absolutely not the case. Most people aren’t paying any attention at all.

Headline- Well, the people that are paying attention are the officials to whom. . . and that’s the official check.

Collier- Right. Well, I think people are feeling now that maybe there needs to be an official citizen check instead.. .

Headline- Who’s “people”?

Collier- Voters.

Headline- Voters. We’ve had one call from you in the last. . .I mean, well, we’ve had two, three or five calls from you. . those are the only calls we’ve had–

Collier- Well, I speak to many people. . .

Headline- –questioning our procedures, our results, our right to do what we do. . the fact that we exist. I mean, I cannot take one call from one person, or five calls from one person, as an indicator that there is even the slightest suspicion that there’s something wrong with what we do. I mean, there are another two hundred million people out there. . .all of whom could be calling us–

Collier- Most people don’t even know you exist. Anyway, don’t you think it’s a good thing for Americans to be vigilent about their vote count.

Headline- They’re very vigilent about their vote count.

Collier- No, I don’t believe that they are. I do speak to many people personally who are interested in what you do. They might not be calling you… they don’t feel that they can get any response from you. But you have been responding to me and that’s good. But they don’t feel that you would. Most people are not pro-active enough to actually call up a private corporation and try to get any information from them. But the thing is, I’m not trying to attack you personally.

Headline- It feels like that.

Collier- No, no. . .I don’t know why it isn’t a positive thing for an American voter to say, hey, what are you doing?

Headline- Because I’ve given you an answer and you won’t accept it–

Collier- Well, it just leads to more questions.

Headline- And I’m trying to give you the truth and you won’t accept the truth, so I don’t know what to do with you.

Collier- Well, I accept it, there’s nothing that I can change, I just don’t agree with some of your premises. I believe that. . .I mean personally, I’ll admit it to you. . . I don’t trust the major media simply because I know the amount of information that’s censored by the press on a daily basis because I work with the alternative press.

Headline- That changes the nature of this entire conversation, and I don’t want to talk to you anymore, send me your fax. (hangs up.)

Final update — not long after this conversation, VNS put a website on the Internet. It was one page. None of the links or navigation tabs worked. Ever.

Disclosure, “The Event” and China’s “October Surprise”…Finished…

Written by David Wilcock

Even a year ago, weeks could go by between major Disclosure events. Now there are multiple signals per week. Are they trying to tell us something? Does a bear sit in the woods?

BUILDING UP TO SOMETHING

In the last few months, things have gotten really wonderful for the Disclosure crowd — to the point where I don’t even have enough time to try to track and write about all of it, while juggling my other responsibilities. This includes:

• Multiple, blatant UFO sightings, some of which shut down entire airports;
• Major press conferences with multiple eyewitnesses announcing that nuclear missile installations have been powered down by ‘flying saucers’ which otherwise were not aggressive, and may in fact have our best interests in mind;
• A huge number of “life is highly abundant in the universe” scientific articles;
• A raft of movies and television shows either already released or in production, which are dealing with the subject — both from the present day as well as “Ancient Aliens” who happened to enjoy building massive stone structures. 

This is definitely not ‘smoke and mirrors.’ This is a clear, deliberate and concerted effort. And it’s building up to something.

“THE EVENT”

Among all of these various elements, the NBC television show “The Event” stands out as particularly provocative. Here you have a television show about a black President — who looks and sounds just like Obama — stumbling into the truth of human ETs soon after he takes office.

In this story, some 97 human-looking ETs crashed in a spaceship in Alaska in the 1940s, and were held hostage at ‘Camp Inostranka’ ever since. The president learns this truth, meets the people and plans an open Disclosure in a live national press conference.

Right before he discloses these secrets to humanity, he suffers a 9/11-style attack by a hijacked passenger airliner. The plane then pops through a wormhole right before it hits the ground and ends up in a remote desert, apparently by ET influence.

All the passengers onboard the plane initially survive, but they then end up dying — or so we think. The analysis of the bodies at the crash site shows that they appeared to have been running from something — perhaps a beam weapon.

The government plans on ‘distressing’ the bodies to make it look like they all died in a fiery crash, which they intend to fabricate for a cover-up.

THE WEIRD VIRUS

Then, in very disturbing zombie-like fashion, the bodies all end up re-animating in a secret military bunker. At first they seem to be fine, but then they all start hemorrhaging blood from their noses and mouths.

We learn that they have a weird virus, which they were given by the ET opposition leader — and they will be dead within 24 hours unless the President frees all the ET detainees at Inostranka, in exchange for the vaccine.

Fighting for the lives of the survivors, the president wrestles with the opposition leader, who claims he will use this same weapon on whole cities of Americans if the 97 detainees are not freed.

The president ends up getting the antidote by threatening to execute all of the ETs if the opposition leader does not produce the serum first.

THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE

This Monday night’s show effectively picks up at this point in the storyline — and I’m leaving quite a bit out of it here. Though it is a bit clumsy at certain points, and I don’t find the portrayal of the president and his entourage particularly believable, the overall execution is quite good.

There does appear to be a lot of fear-mongering about human-looking ETs in this show, such as their apparent willingness to use terrorist tactics to get their way.

Nonetheless, it also seems clear that we are being given a message that they are not all bad people — only a small number of them.

Furthermore, the seemingly positive female leader of the ETs (who is obviously cast to look and sound very similar to the heroic female president in Battlestar Galactica) alludes to an upcoming ‘Event’ without elaboration at this point in the story.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

In the title, the second “E” in “Event” is reversed. This highlights the ‘V’ in the middle — as in the previous show ‘V’, which was also about human-looking ETs. It also encourages us to pick out the word ‘EVE.’

Remember that this is all part of a Processed Release of Information (PRI) program, and the underlying body of information to be disclosed has been in place for thousands of years. I discuss this in my radio show with William Henry, linked below.

I feel it is safe to assume that in this TV series, “The Event” will involve a certain amount of cataclysmic activity on the Earth. It should also upgrade our DNA at the same time — leading to a new humanity.

A new Eve.

This would then allow the show to go in the direction of “Heroes” and other such programs where people begin developing ‘powers’.

If that’s really where this is going, then “The Event” may well be the most blatant, in-your-face, one-stop-shop Disclosure mechanism ever put out by the media — at least thus far.

Obama and Geithner: Government, Enron-Style….MATT TAIBBI~ xo

Taibbi: Obama And Geithner Are Acting Like Lehman Executives Before The Crash

Strongly recommend this piece at theHuffington Post by Jeff Connaughton, a former aide to Senator Ted Kaufman. Jeff is one of the smartest guys on the Hill and is particularly strong on issues surrounding Wall Street and the regulatory system. In this piece, he takes apart the oft-stated mantra that what Wall Street firms did during and after the crisis was maybe unethical, but not illegal.

He takes particular aim at Barack Obama, who recently tossed that line out on 60 Minutes in what I thought was one of the real low moments of his presidency. Here’s Jeff’s take:

Speaking in Kansas on December 6, [Obama] said, “Too often, we’ve seen Wall Street firms violating major anti-fraud laws because the penalties are too weak and there’s no price for being a repeat offender.” Just five days later on 60 Minutes, he said, “Some of the least ethical behavior on Wall Street wasn’t illegal.” Which is it? Have there been no prosecutions because Wall Street acted legally (albeit unethically)? Or did Wall Street repeatedly violate major anti-fraud laws (and should thus find itself in the dock)?

The President is confusing “legal” with “difficult to prosecute successfully.”

The notion that what Wall Street firms did was merely unethical and not illegal is not just mistaken but preposterous: most everyone who works in the financial services industry understands that fraud right now is not just pervasive but epidemic, with many of the biggest banks committing entire departments to the routine commission of fraud and perjury – every single one of the major banks, for instance, devotes significant manpower to robosigning affidavits for foreclosures and credit card judgments, acts which are openly and inarguably criminal.

Banks and hedge funds routinely withhold derogatory information about the instruments they sell, they routinely trade on insider information or ahead of their own clients’ orders, and corrupt accounting is so rampant now that industry analysts have begun to figure in estimated levels of fraud in their examinations of the public disclosures of major financial companies.

Beyond that, as Jeff points out, Obama is simply not telling the truth about the supposedly insufficient penalties available to regulators. Employing the famous “mistakes were made” use of the passive tense, Obama copped out in his December 6 speech by saying that “penalties are too weak.” As Jeff points out, what Obama should have said is that “the penalties my own regulators chose to dish out were too weak”:

Moreover, the President is misleading us when he says that Wall Street firms violate anti-fraud law because the penalties are too weak. Repeat financial fraudsters don’t pay relatively paltry — and therefore painless — penalties because of statutory caps on such penalties. Rather, regulatory officials, appointed by Obama, negotiated these comparatively trifling fines. This week, the F.D.I.C. settled a suit against Washington Mutual officials for just $64 million, an amount that will be covered mostly by insurance policies WaMu took out on behalf of executives, who themselves will pay just $400,000. And recently a federal judge rejected the S.E.C.’s latest settlement with Citigroup, an action even the Wall Street Journal called “a rebuke of the cozy relationship between regulators and the regulated that too often leaves justice as an orphan.”

What makes Obama’s statements so dangerous is that they suggest an ongoing strategy of covering up the Wall Street crimewave. There is ample evidence out there that the Obama administration has eased up on prosecutions of Wall Street as part of a conscious strategy to prevent a collapse of confidence in our financial system, with the expected 50-state foreclosure settlement being the landmark effort in the cover-up, intended mainly to bury a generation of fraud. Here’s how Jeff puts it:

In Ron Suskind’s book, Confidence Men, he quotes Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as saying, “The confidence in the system is so fragile still… a disclosure of a fraud… could result in a run, just like Lehman.” The Obama Administration is pushinghard for a 50-state settlement with the major banks for their fraudulent foreclosure practices, even though several state attorneys general have rejected this approach because, in their view, it would shield too much wrongdoing. Regrettably, Obama’s top officials and lawyers seem more eager to restore the financial sector to health than establish criminal accountability among the executives who were in charge.

In other words, Geithner and Obama are behaving like Lehman executives before the crash of Lehman, not disclosing the full extent of the internal problem in order to keep investors from fleeing and creditors from calling in their chits. It’s worth noting that this kind of behavior – knowingly hiding the derogatory truth from the outside world in order to prevent a run on the bank – is, itself, fraud!

This is exactly the mindset that led Lehman to the abuses of the ”Repo 105″ accounting trick, in which loans were disguised as revenues in order to prevent the outside world from knowing the dire state of the bank’s balance sheet.

Now Obama and Geithner are engaged in the same sort of activity, only they’re trying to prevent a run not on an individual bank, but the entire American financial services sector. Geithner seems really to believe that if fraud were aggressively policed, and the world made aware of the incredible extent of the illegality in our markets, that international confidence in the American financial sector would plummet and our economy would suffer – and suffer, incidentally, on Barack Obama’s watch.

Better, apparently, the Band-Aid the problem now, and let the real mess happen later on, on someone else’s watch, or at least in a second term, when there’s no need to worry about re-election.

Of course, this is exactly the wrong way to go about things. If Geithner and Obama really wanted to convince the world that America’s markets weren’t broken, they would effectively police fraud, and by extension prove to everybody that at the very least, our regulatory system is not broken.

But by taking a dive on fraud, and orchestrating mass cover-ups like the coming foreclosure settlement fiasco, what they’re doing instead is signaling to the world that not only are our financial markets corrupt, but our government is broken as well.

The problem with companies like Lehman and Enron is that their executives always think they can paper over illegalities by committing more crimes, when in fact all they’re usually doing is snowballing the problem so completely out of control that there’s no longer any chance of fixing things, thereby killing the only chance for survival they ever had.

This is exactly what Obama and Geithner are doing now. By continually lying about the extent of the country’s corruption problems, they’re adding fraud to fraud and raising such a great bonfire of lies that they probably won’t ever be able to fix the underlying mess.

If they looked at the world like public servants, and not like corporate executives, they’d understand that the only way out is to come clean. That they don’t look at things that way should tell people quite a lot.

The Bush Family’s Project Hammer…history and more…****

Hammering the USSR’s Economy

In 1989 President George H. W. Bush began the multi-billion dollar Project Hammer program using an investment strategy to bring about the economic destruction of the Soviet Union including the theft of the Soviet treasury, the destabilization of the ruble, funding a KGB coup against Gorbachev in August 1991 and the seizure of major energy and munitions industries in the Soviet Union. Those resources would subsequently be turned over to international bankers and corporations. On November 1, 2001, the second operative in the Bush regime, President George W. Bush, issued Executive Order 13233 on the basis of “national security” and concealed the records of past presidents, especially his father’s spurious activities during 1990 and 1991. Consequently, those records are no longer accessible to the public.¹ The Russian coup plot was discussed in June 1991 when Yeltsin visited with Bush in conjunction with his visit to the United States. On that same visit, Yeltsin met discreetly with Gerald Corrigan, the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve.²

Because of numerous Presidential Executive Orders, the ethically questionable Project Hammer was deemed legal. Of course, even Hitler’s acts were “lawful,” as he had manipulated the laws to accommodate his actions. Many of Reagan’s executive orders were actually authored by Vice President Bush or his legal associates, and it is possible that Project Hammer was created by Reagan’s CIA Director, William Casey, who had directed OSS operations through Alan Dulles in Europe during World War II. Prior to his OSS affiliation, Casey worked for the Board of Economic Warfare which allegedly targeted “Hitler’s economic jugular.”³ Allen Dulles, brother of John Foster Dulles, was the Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961. He was a senior partner at the Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Rockefeller Empire and other mammoth trusts, corporations and cartels.

Project Hammer was staffed with CIA operatives and others associated with the National Security apparatus. Covert channels were already in place as a result of other illegal Bush activities. Thus, it was a given (1) that the project would use secret, illegal funds for unapproved covert operations, and (2) that the American public and Congress would not be informed about the illegal actions perpetrated in foreign countries. The first objective was allegedly to crush Communism, a growing political philosophy and social movement that was initially funded by the usual group of international bankers who now supported their demise. To this end, the “Vulcans,” under George H. W. Bush, waged war against the Soviet Union.⁴

The Return of the Vulcans

In their reincarnation in the administration of George W. Bush, the Vulcans functioned as a supposedly benign group, led by Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) member Condoleezza Rice, who attempted to augment and compensate for the Bush’s lack of experience and education concerning foreign policy during his presidential campaign. Rice had been President George H. W. Bush’s Soviet and East European Affairs Advisor in the National Security Council during the Soviet Union’s dissolution and during the German reunification (July 1, 1990). The resurrected Vulcan group included Richard Armitage, Robert Blackwill, Stephen Hadley, Richard Perle, Rabbi Dov S. Zakheim, Robert Zoellick and Paul Wolfowitz. Other key campaign figures included Dick Cheney, George P. Shultz and Colin Powell, all influential but not actually a part of the Vulcan Group. All of these people, associated with the George H. W. Bush administration, returned to powerful, strategic positions in George W. Bush’s administration.

Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz have been accused of being agents for the Israeli government. Investigations by Congress and the FBI have substantiated those allegations. Zakheim and his family were heavily involved in Yeshivat Sha’alvim, an educational organization in which students are taught to render absolute commitment to the State of Israel.⁵

Many of these individuals were also members of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) which was established in the spring of 1997 with the intention of promoting American Global leadership at any cost. The chairman and co-founder was William Kristol, son of Irving Kristol (CFR), considered the godfather of neo-conservatism which promotes the ideas of Max Shachtman and Leo Strauss, a noted Zionist and professor of political science at the University of Chicago. Kristol’s co-founder was Robert W. Kagan (CFR). Kristol is also the editor and co-founder, along with John Podhoretz, of the Weekly Standard Magazine, established September 17, 1995 and owned by Rupert Murdoch until August 2009. This “conservative” magazine is edited by William Kristol and Fred Barnes and promotes Middle East warfare and a huge military budget, a mentality that infects the most popular “conservative” talk show radio hosts. Kristol is a trustee for the Manhattan Institute which was founded by CIA Director William Casey and was staffed with former CIA officers.

The Vulcans had almost limitless financing from a cache known by several names – the Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, or the Durham Trust. Japan, under Emperor Hirohito, appointed a brother, Prince Chichibu, to head Golden Lily, established in November 1937 before Japan’s infamous Rape of Nanking, to accompany and follow the military. The Golden Lily operation carried out massive plunder throughout Asia and included an army of jewelers, financial experts and smelters.⁶ While the Nazis also engaged in plundering the countries they invaded, they were not as organized and methodical as the Japanese. After the Allied blockade, Golden Lily headquarters were moved from Singapore to Manila where 175 storage sites were built by slave laborers and POWs. Billions of dollars worth of gold and other plundered treasures were stockpiled in these underground caverns, some of which were discovered by the notorious Cold Warrior, Edward G. Lansdale who directed the recovery of some of the vaults. Truman and subsequent presidents, without congressional knowledge, have used those resources to finance the CIA’s chaotic clandestine activities throughout the world. Much of the Middle East chaos is financed by those pillaged funds. A tiny portion of that treasure was the source of Ferdinand Marcos’ vast wealth. Marcos worked with the CIA for decades using Golden Lily funds to bribe nations to support the Vietnam War. In return, Marcos was allowed to sell over $1 trillion in gold through Australian brokers.⁷

In July 1944, the leaders of forty-four nations met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire to plan the post-war economy and to discuss organizing a global political action fund which would use the Black Eagle Trust ostensibly to fight communism, bribe political leaders, enhance the treasuries of U.S. allies, and manipulate elections in foreign countries and other unconstitutional covert operations. Certainly, those politicos who managed the funds also received financial benefits. This trust was headed by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, assisted by John J. McCloy (later head of the World Bank) and Robert Lovett (later Secretary of Defense) and consultant Robert B. Anderson (later Secretary of the Treasury).⁸ Anderson later operated the Commercial Exchange Bank of Anguilla in the British West Indies and was convicted of running illegal offshore banking operations and tax evasion. Investors lost about $4.4 million. Consequently, he was sent to prison for a token amount of time, one month. He was also under house arrest for five years. He could have received a ten-year sentence but Judge Palmieri considered Anderson’s “distinguished service” to the country in the “top levels of Government.”⁹

Between 1945 and 1947 huge quantities of gold and platinum were deposited in prominent banks throughout the world. These deposits came to be known as the Black Eagle Trust. Swiss banks, because of their neutrality, were pivotal in maintaining these funds. These funds were allocated to fighting communism and paying bribes and fixing elections in places like Italy, Greece, and Japan.¹⁰ Stimson and McCloy, both retired from government service, continued their involvement in the management of the Black Eagle Trust. Robert B. Anderson, who toured the treasure sites with Douglas MacArthur, set up the Black Eagle Trust and later became a member of Eisenhower’s cabinet.¹¹ In order to maintain secrecy about the Trust, Washington officials insisted that the Japanese did not plunder the countries they invaded. Japanese officials who wanted to divulge the facts were imprisoned or murdered in a way that made it look like suicide, a common CIA tactic.¹² The Germans paid reparations to thousands of victims while the Japanese paid next to nothing. Military leaders who opposed foreign policies that embraced exploitation of third world countries were suicided or died from mysterious causes, which includes individuals such as George S. Patton, Smedley D. Butler and James V. Forrestal.

The Vulcan’s effort to crush Communism and end the Cold War was largely funded by that Japanese plunder. The Vulcans were resurrected when George W. Bush was installed as president in 2000, facilitated by election maneuvers, probably lots of payoffs, and Jeb Bush’s purge of Florida voters. They conducted other illegal operations, like securities fraud and money laundering. This entailed murder and false imprisonment to prevent penitent participants from divulging the activities of the group. During the process of accomplishing the main objective of destroying the Soviet Union, the operatives made massive profits. In September 1991, George H. W. Bush and Alan Greenspan, both Pilgrims Society members, financed $240 billion in illegal bonds to economically decimate the Soviet Union and bring Soviet oil and gas resources under the control of Western investors, backed by the Black Eagle Trust and supported later by Putin who for the right price purged certain oligarchs. The $240 billion in illegal bonds were apparently replaced with Treasury notes backed by U.S. taxpayers.¹³ To conceal the clearance of $240 billion in securities, the Federal Reserve, within two months, increased the money supply to pre-9/11 numbers which resulted in the American taxpayer refinancing the $240 billion.¹⁴

The Takeover of Russia’s Oil Industry

BP Amoco became the largest foreign direct investor in Russia in 1997 when it paid a half-billion dollars to buy a 10 percent stake in the Russian oil conglomerate Sidanko. Then in 1999, Tyumen Oil bought Sidanko’s prize unit, Chernogorneft which allegedly made BP Amoco’s investment worthless. Tyumen offered to cooperate with BP Amoco on the development of Chernogorneft but BP Amoco was not interested.¹⁵ In October 1998, Halliburton Energy Services had entered into an agreement with Moscow-based Tyumen Oil Company (TNK). Their efforts were focused on the four western Siberia fields, the first one being the Samotlorskoye field.¹⁶ TNK has proven oil reserves of 4.3 billion barrels and possibly as many as 6.1 billion barrels, with crude oil production and refining capabilities of 420,000 barrels/day and 230,000 barrels/day, respectively. TNK markets gasoline through 400 retail outlets.¹⁷ In 2002 Halliburton and Sibneft, Russia’s fifth largest crude oil producer, signed an agreement. Sibneft will use Halliburton’s new technologies to improve well construction and processing while Halliburton directs all project management.¹⁸

Tyumenskaya Neftyanaya Kompaniya (Tyumen Oil Company) was established in 1995 by government decree. It is now TNK-BP, the leading Russian oil company and ranks among the top ten privately owned oil companies worldwide in terms of crude oil production. The company, formed in 2003, resulted from the merger of BP’s Russian oil and gas assets and the oil and gas assets of Alfa, Access/Renova group (AAR). BP and AAR each own fifty percent of TNK-BP. The shareholders of TNK-BP own almost fifty percent of Slavneft, a vertically integrated Russian oil company.¹⁹ This transaction was the biggest in Russian corporate history and was managed by Vladimir Lechtman, the Moscow partner for Jones Day, a global law firm with thirty offices and 2,200 lawyers worldwide. TNK-BP, Russia’s second-largest oil company employs almost 100,000 people and operates in Samotlor.²⁰

Putin was financially rewarded by the collaborators and was happy to purge some annoying industrialists who stood in the way. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was the manager of Yukos, the company that he built into Russia’s second-largest oil company after acquiring it for $168 million when his Bank MENATEP, the first privately owned but notoriously corrupt bank since 1917 and wiped out in August 1998, purchased it through a controversial government privatization auction in 1995. MENATEP was named as a defendant in the Avisma lawsuit which was filed on August 19, 1999.²¹ The bank may have facilitated the large-scale theft of Soviet Treasury funds before and following the USSR’s collapse in 1991.²² His company had borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars from western banks.²³ He was arrested on October 25, 2003 and sentenced in June 2005 to eight years on fraud and tax evasion charges. He was allegedly targeted as a political enemy by President Vladimir Putin who went after other big business owners who apparently made money by acquiring states assets. Yukos was sold piecemeal to pay off $28 billion in back tax charges. Yukos was seized and given to Rosneft.²⁴

When Khodorkovsky was arrested, his secretive business arrangement with the Rothschild family was exposed as Jacob Rothschild assumed Khodorkovsky’s 26% control of Yukos while Khodorkovsky’s directorial seat on the Yukos board went to Edgar Ortiz, a former Halliburton vice president during Dick Cheney’s reign as CEO at Halliburton. Cheney, as President and CEO of Halliburton, automatically had an association with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR).²⁵ In November 1997, Dick Chaney, in anticipation of imminent events, had appointed Edgar Ortiz as president of Halliburton Energy Services, their global division.²⁶

The Yukos Oil Company merged with the smaller Sibneft Oil Company on October 3, 2003 which created Russia’s largest oil and gas business and the world’s forth-largest private oil company.²⁷ On May 11, 2007 Halliburton announced they had made an agreement with the Tyumen State Oil and Gas University to open a new employee-training center in Russia to grow their business in that country and in the surrounding region. They are currently training students from five countries, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia and the United Kingdom.²⁸ Halliburton was awarded a $33 million contract by TNK-BP to provide oil field services to develop the Ust-Vakh field in Western Siberia.²⁹

September 11 – Black Op Cover-up

Three top securities brokers had offices in the World Trade Center, Cantor Fitzgerald, Euro Brokers and Garbon Inter Capital. Flight 11 struck just under the floors where Cantor Fitzgerald was located. Cantor Fitzgerald, with possible connections to the U.S. Intelligence apparatus, was America’s biggest securities broker and apparently the main target. Within minutes, an explosion in the North Tower’s vacant 23rd floor, right under the offices of the FBI and Garbon Inter Capital on the 25th floor caused a huge fire from the 22nd through the 25th floors. At the same time, there was an explosion in the basement of the North Tower.³⁰ A vault in the North Tower basement held less than $1 billion in gold, much of which was reportedly moved before 9/11. However, the government had hundreds of billions of dollars of securities which were summarily destroyed. The Federal Reserve, untouched by the crisis at its downtown offices (as they had everything backed up to a remote location), assumed emergency powers that afternoon. The $240 billion in securities were electronically cleared.³¹ Then, at 9:03, Flight 175 slammed into the 78th floor of the South Tower just below the 84th floor where Euro Brokers were located.³² Brian Clark, the manager at Euro Brokers, heard numerous explosions, apparently unrelated to what he referred to as the oxygen-starved fire caused by the plane crash.

The September 11 attacks related to the financial improprieties during the preceding ten years which spurred at least nine federal investigations which were initiated in 1997-1998, about the same time that Osama bin Laden, after twenty years as a CIA asset, announced a fatwa against the U.S. The records of many of those investigations were held in the Buildings Six and Seven and on the 23rd floor of the North Tower. Those investigations were sure to reveal the black Eagle Trust shenanigans.³³ Building Seven, not hit by a plane, collapsed at 5:20:33 p.m. but was vacated as early as 9:00 when evacuees claimed to see dead bodies and sporadic fires within the building.

By 2008 and even earlier the covert securities were worth trillions. The securities used to decimate the Soviets and end the Cold War were stored in certain broker’s vaults in the World Trade Center where they were destroyed on September 11, 2001. They would have come due for settlement and clearing on September 12, 2001.³⁴ The federal agency investigating these bonds, the Office of Naval Intelligence was in the section of the Pentagon that was destroyed on September 11. Renovations at the Pentagon were due to be completed on September 16, 2001. However, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), the entity that often monitors war games, was hurriedly moved. If they were monitoring the simultaneous war games that morning, they would have realized that the games were used as a distraction from the actual assault. Whatever hit the pentagon struck the Navy Command Center and the offices of the Chief of Naval Operations Intelligence Plot (CNO-IP).³⁵ There were 125 fatalities in the Pentagon; thirty-one percent of them were people who worked in the Naval Command Center, the location of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Thirty-nine of the forty people who worked in the Office of Naval Intelligence died.³⁶

On September 10, 2001 Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon couldn’t account for $2.3 trillion, “We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it’s stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.”³⁷ It was forgotten the following morning. Accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts who were in the section of the Pentagon being renovated met their unexpected deaths. The destruction of accounting facts and figures will prevent discovery of where that money went. I am quite certain someone knows where it is. Certainly this is not merely gross incompetence but private seizure of public funds.³⁸ At the time Rabbi Dov Zakheim was chief-financial officer for the Department of Defense.³⁹ In 1993, Zakheim worked for SPS International, part of System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor. His firm’s subsidiary, Tridata Corporation directed the investigation of the first “terrorist” attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.⁴⁰

Certain National Security officials who had participated in the Cold War victory in 1991 thus comprised the collateral damage of the Cold War. They, along with hundreds of innocent people were in the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. Their deaths were presumably required to conceal the existence of the Black Eagle Trust, along with the numerous illegal activities it had funded for over 50 years. This massive destruction, and the lost lives, constitutes a massive cover-up and continued lawlessness by the brotherhood of death, Skull and Bones, and their accomplices, the Enterprise.⁴¹ The Enterprise was established in the 1980s as a covert fascist Cold Warriors faction working with other groups like Halliburton’s private security forces and the Moonies. Citibank is connected to the Enterprise, along with all the CIA front banks, Nugen Hand and BCCI.

Double Dipping

Alvin B. “Buzzy” Krongard was elected Chief Executive Officer of Alexander Brown and Sons in 1991 and Chairman of the Board in 1994. Bankers Trust purchased Alexander Brown and Sons in 1997 to form BT Alex Brown. Krongard relinquished his investments in Alex Brown to Banker’s Trust as part of the merger. He became Vice Chairman of Banker’s Trust where he personally interacted with wealthy clients who were intimately linked to drug money laundering. After a year of possible networking, Krongard joined (or as Michael Ruppert suggests, rejoined) the CIA in 1998 where his friend, Director George Tenet, concentrated his skills on private banking ventures within the elite moneyed community. Senate investigations verify that private banking firms frequently engage in money laundering from illicit drugs and corporate crime operations.⁴² On January 28, 2000 the Reginald Howe and GATA Lawsuit was filed which accused certain U.S. bullion banks of illegally dumping U.S. Treasury gold on the market. The lawsuit named Deutsche bank Alex Brown, the U.S. Treasury, Alan Greenspan, the Federal Reserve, and Citibank, Chase, as defendants. Gerald Corrigan was accused of having private knowledge of the scheme.⁴³ Krongard became the Executive Director of the CIA, essentially the Chief Operating Officer, and the number three man on March 16, 2001. Krongard, while at the CIA, arranged for Blackwater’s Erik Prince to get his first contract with the U.S. government, and later joined its board.

Richard Wagner, a data retrieval expert, estimated that more than $100 million in illegal transactions appeared to have rushed through the WTC computers before and during the disaster on September 11, 2001. A Deutsche Bank employee verified that approximately five minutes before the first plane hit the tower that the Deutsche Bank computer system in their WTC office was seized by an outside, unknown entity. Every single file was swiftly uploaded to an unidentified locality. This employee escaped from the building, but lost many of his friends. He knew, from his position in the company, that Alex Brown, the Deutsche Bank subsidiary participated in insider trading. Senator Carl Levin claimed that Alex Brown was just one of twenty prominent U.S. banks associated with money laundering.⁴⁴

Andreas von Bülow, a Social Democratic Party member of the German parliament (1969-1994), was on the parliamentary committee on intelligence services, a group that has access to classified information. Von Bülow was also a member of the Schalck-Golodkowski investigation committee which investigates white-collar crime. He has estimated that inside trader profits surrounding 9/11 totaled approximately $15 billion.

Von Bülow told The Daily Telegraph “If what I say is right, the whole US government should end up behind bars.” Further, he said, “They have hidden behind a veil of secrecy and destroyed the evidence…they invented the story of 19 Muslims working within Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda in order to hide the truth of their own covert operation.” He also said, “I’m convinced that the US apparatus must have played a role and my theory is backed up by the [Washington] government’s refusal to present any proof whatsoever of what happened.”⁴⁵

On September 26, CBS reported that the amount was more than $100 million and that seven countries were investigating the irregular trades. Two newspapers, Reuters and the New York Times, and other mainstream media reported that the CIA regularly monitors extraordinary trades and economic irregularities to ascertain possible criminal activities or financial assaults. In fact, the CIA uses specialized software, PROMIS, to scrutinize trades.⁴⁶

Numerous researchers believe, with justification, that the transactions in the financial markets are indicative of foreknowledge of the events of 9/11, the attacks on the twin towers and the pentagon. One of the trades, for $2.5 million, a pittance compared to the total, went unclaimed. Alex Brown, once managed by Krongard, was the firm that placed the put options on United Airlines stock. President Bush awarded Krongard by appointing him as CIA Executive Director in 2004.⁴⁷

Between September 6 and 7, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange received purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines and only 396 call options. If 4,000 of those options were purchased by people with foreknowledge, they would have accrued about $5 million. On September 10, the Chicago exchange received 4,516 put options on American Airlines compared to 748 calls. The implications are that some insiders might profit by about $4 million. These two incidents were wholly irregular and at least six times higher than normal.⁴⁸

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Company, who occupied floors 43-46, 56, 59-74 of the World Trade Center, Tower 2, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday. This compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley’s share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million. The U.S. government never again mentioned the trade irregularities after October 12, 2001.⁴⁹ Catastrophic events serve two purposes for the top criminal element in society – the perpetrators seize resources while their legislative accomplices impose burdensome restrictions on the citizens to make them more submissive and silent.

It. Isn’t. Happening…..

 

By Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley

Mainstream science, politics, bureaucracy, academe, banking, business, media – all were of one mind. The West, so the playbook ran, must be shut down at once to Save The Planet from “global warming”, er, “climate change”, um, “climate disruption”, no, “extreme-weather events”, ah, that is, “energy-security challenges”. Shale gas? That would solve everything. Hundreds of years’ global supply. No more peak oil. Low carbon footprint. Ban it quick.

I find myself with CFACT in Durban among the creatures of “consensus” for the annual UN climate gabfest. Yet the party line was wrong. At a recent dinner for the inconvenient economist Bjorn Lomborg in London, I first uttered the three fateful words that now fill the hearts of the world’s governing climate racketeers with dread.

“It. Isn’t. Happening.”

When I plopped these three plump pebbles into the conversation, there was a ripple of aghast silence. It was as though I’d perpetrated what the Professor of Greek at Cambridge used to call a “gaseous halation” in front of the Queen.

Most of the diners were climate skeptics. But they were making a bundle out of it. The skeptics had almost as much of a direct, cash vested interest in flogging the long-dead horse of climatic apocalypse as the prophets and profiteers of climate doom.

It just wasn’t the done thing to poop on the party by pointing out that every dire prediction that the usual suspects had made with such sneering arrogance has failed.

Just look. Professor “Phil” Jones of the “University” of East Anglia had to admit, when the BBC’s chief environmental campaigner – er, “correspondent” – put to him a question I’d drafted – that there had been no statistically-significant “global warming” for 15 years. Oops! The UN’s models had not predicted that.

Arctic sea ice was supposed to be gone by 2013. Then it rebounded. Then it was going to reach a new low on 15 September this year, when Al Gore launched his Titanic “Climate Unreality” project. The ice did not oblige. Gore hit a berg that somehow hadn’t melted. His project sank. Even his fellow fortune-hunters in the Green[back] movement now disown his bleating attribution of every recent natural disaster to “global warming”.

Antarctic sea ice has been on the up throughout the satellite era. Global sea ice shows little trend in 30 years.

Polar bears were supposed to be headed for extinction. The fossils on the Supreme Court said so (but they’ve been extinct for years). Today there are five times as many polar bears as 70 years ago.

Kilimanjaro has been losing ice since 1880. Most of the summit glacier had gone by 1936, when Hemingway wrote The Snows. “Global warming” could not have caused the recent ice loss: NASA says the region has been cooling for 30 years. The summit temperature, monitored by satellites, has not changed. Now the glacier is growing again.

Sea level is the big one. James Hansen of NASA, who made more than $1 million out of the climate scare last year alone, had predicted it would rise imminently by 246 feet. Was he right? No. The increase over the past eight years, according to the Envisat satellite, was at a rate equivalent to 2 inches per century. Not meters, not even feet. Inches. Two of them. Per century. Gee wow golly gosh! Take to the boats!

Malaria was going to spread because of “global warming.” Yet the terrible leap in mortality from 50,000 to 1 million child deaths a year occurred a generation ago, when the Environmental Defense Fund – which, with Greenpeace and the World Wide Fund, spent $1 billion of taxpayers’ and donors’ cash on anti-Western pseudo-enviro propaganda last year alone – successfully campaigned for a worldwide ban on DDT, the only effective agent against the mosquitoes that carry malaria.

When the Board of the EDF met to plan the DDT ban, its then legal advisor, Victor John Yannacone Jr., begged it to ban only outdoor use: DDT sprayed inside houses would harm only the mosquitoes and spare the children.

The then chairman, furious, fired Yannacone on the spot. As he left the room, someone said: “That’s the last time we employ anyone who knows any science.” That ban has killed 40 million children.

Extreme-weather deaths are down sharply. Global tropical-cyclone and hurricane activity is almost at its least in 30 years. Severe tornadoes have declined. Patterns of drought and flood remain as unpredictable and as devastating as ever. Bangladesh and nearly all of the Pacific atolls are gaining land mass, not losing it.

Net primary productivity of trees and plants worldwide is up. If you want a greener planet, add as much CO2 to the air as you can. Your emissions are also helping to stave off the next Ice Age. It’s already 6000 years overdue.

Yet the dreary, wasteful, pointless congresses of the greedy feeble-minded continue. The Bali Road-Map to Nowhere. The Copenhagen World-Government Treaty that collapsed as soon as it saw the light of day. The Cancun Concordats to establish 1000 – yes, 1000 – new bureaucracies: the structure of the unelected world government that every ex-politician from Gore and Chirac to Attali is demanding.

Everyone says nothing will happen at Durban. That worries me. It suggests the process of building a totalitarian global junta by what one UN official at Cancun called “transparent impenetrability” – publishing documents of such prolix length and complex obscurantism that no one can understand a word and yet no one can later deny the information was available – will invisibly gather pace.

Lord Reith, the BBC’s first chairman, laying the foundation-stone of what is now the abomination of desolation called Harlow New Town, was heard to mutter, “You’re not going to like it, but you’re going to have it!”

So it will be with the Marxists’ wet dream that is global totalitarian dictatorship. You’re not going to like it. But the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow and I are in Durban to stop them. So perhaps you’re not going to have it after all.

Fourth of Four Installments on Libya: Who is Stealing the Wealth?…

~I’ve been waiting for this article~jude

Who Was Muammar Qaddafi? Libya’s Wealth Redistribution Project

Once again, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya peels away the veneer of legitimacy and deception enveloping the U.S./NATO genocide currently taking place in Libya. In his first article, Nazemroaya makes it clear that there never was any evidence given to the United Nations or the International Criminal Court to warrant or justify United Nations Resolutions 1970 and 1973 or current U.S./NATO operations inside Libya.

In his second article detailing this very sad story, Nazemroaya exposes the relationships between the major Libyan protagonists/NATO collaborators and the U.S. Congress-funded National Endowment for Democracy. Incredibly, when leading Members of Congress publicly proclaimed repeatedly that they did not know who the Libyan “rebel” NATO collaborators were, select so-called rebel leaders were political intimates with stakeholders at the National Endowment for Democracy. Nazemroaya also exposes that, despite its Global War on Terror, the U.S. government actually financed Libyan terrorists and criminals wanted by INTERPOL.

In his third installment, Nazemroaya removes the U.S./NATO fig leaf that attempts to cover the cynical machinations of the pro-Israel Lobby and its objective of balkanizing African and Asian states, especially those whose populations are largely Muslim. Nazemroaya makes the essential point: “An attempt to separate the merging point of an Arab and African identity is underway.” The Voice of America has exposed the psychological aspects of its brutal intervention and hints at the mindset of the U.S./NATO Libyan pawns; several stories suggest that the “new” Libya will turn more toward its Arab identity than its African identity. While Muammar Qaddafi drove home to all Libyans that Libya, as its geography dictates, is an African country, Nazemroaya shows how this fact is not a policy objective shared by the U.S., NATO, Israel, or their Libyan allies.

Finally, in this last of the four-part series, Nazemroaya shows the ultimate perfidy of the U.S./NATO Libyan allies, especially Mahmoud Jibril, in the pre-emptive strike against the Jamahirya Wealth Redistribution Project.
