False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)

Lawful Access
Lawful Access is the deceptively innocuous term given to the government's attempts to expand its power to spy on Internet activity. It does so by providing new ways by which law enforcemet and other state agents can lawfully access and intercept online activity and information. CIPPIC is working with other groups and individuals concerned about increasing government surveillance to assess and respond to the Canadian government's lawful access proposals. CIPPIC is concerned that attempts to update lawful access capabilities are far from targeted and will have serious detrimental impact on Canadians' civil liberties.
WELL JUST LIKE I SAID A WEEK OR SO AGO.THAT PORNO BUST IS A FALSE FLAG TO STEAL OUR PRIVACY RIGHTS EVERYWHERE.THEY CAN WATCH OUR EVERY MOVE ON THE INTERNET,TELOPHONE IN REAL TIME IF THEY WANT TO IF THIS BILL IS PASSED.LOOK OUT CANADA WE ARE IN TROUBLE.THE CONTROL FREAKS WANT TO WATCH OUR EVERY MOVE.WE WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS AT ALL IN PRIVACY IF THIS BILL PASSES.

Should police have access to ISP customer data without a warrant? February 14, 2012 7:05 AM |By Community Team
The Conservative government is expected to introduce a bill Tuesday to give police new powers to access Canadians' electronic communications.Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the lawful access bills will bring our laws into the 21st century and provide police with the lawful tools we need.Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the lawful access bills will bring our laws into the 21st century and provide police with the lawful tools we need.(Canadian Press)The lawful access bill is expected to include provisions that were included in previous bills that died when last year's election was called.One of those provisions would require internet service providers to give subscriber data to police and national security agencies without a warrant, including names, unlisted phone numbers and IP addresses.Another is expected to allow police to get warrants to obtain information transmitted over the internet and data related to its transmission, including locations of individuals and transactions.
In September, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the government has no plans to allow police to intercept private internet communications without a warrant.On Monday, Liberal public safety critic Francis Scarpaleggia alleged during question period Monday that the government is preparing to read Canadians' emails and track their movements through cellphone signals, in both cases without a warrant.Toews replied that Scarpaleggia can either stand with us or with the child pornographers.
Should police have access to ISP customer data without a warrant? Does this legislation go too far or do police need it to keep up with technology? Let us know what you think.
Proposed bill for expanded surveillance tabled in Commons By Sarah Schmidt, Postmedia News February 14, 2012 11:08 AM
The Conservative government isn't backing down from a plan to require telecommunications companies to hand over customer information to police without a court order despite strong objections from Canada's privacy watchdogs. The so-called lawful access legislation, tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday and expected to pass under a Conservative majority government, means Internet service providers and cellphone companies won't be able to say no to law enforcement if they ask them to cough up the basic subscriber information of any of their customers.

OTTAWA — The Conservative government isn't backing down from a plan to require telecommunications companies to hand over customer information to police without a court order despite strong objections from Canada's privacy watchdogs.The lawful access legislation — newly branded by the government as the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act — was tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday. It is expected to pass under a Conservative majority government despite objections from the opposition parties.When enacted, the law will mean Internet service providers and cellphone companies won't be able to say no to law enforcement if they ask them to cough up the basic subscriber information of any of their customers.This provision, contained in a previous bill that died when the federal election was called last year, resulted in a sustained campaign by the federal and provincial commissioners to get warrantless access to subscriber info scrapped from the bill before the Conservatives re-introduced it.
More than 80,000 Canadians have also signed a petition sponsored by Openmedia.ca calling on the government to stop online spying.But Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, when pressed Monday by opposition MPs, said new measures are needed to catch criminals in the 21st century. He singled out child pornography cases, saying people can either stand with us or with the child pornographers.On Tuesday, the Opposition rejected Toews' characterization.Holding up his BlackBerry, NDP digital critic Charlie Angus said the bill would undermine the privacy of average Canadians.Now, every single Canadian citizen is walking around with an electronic prisoner's bracelet,Angus said after the tabling of the bill.I say to Vic Toews, Stop hiding behind the boogey man. Stop using the boogey man to attack the basic rights of Canadian citizens.' Is Vic Toews saying that Stockwell Day supports child pornography? Is Vic Toews saying that every privacy commissioner in this country who has raised concerns about this government's attempt to erase the basic obligation to get a judicial warrant, is he saying that they're for child pornography?
Stockwell Day, who served as public safety minister from 2006 to 2008, assured the public during his tenure that the government would not introduce legislation forcing Internet service providers to give customer information without a warrant.In addition to a name, address, phone number and email address, the bill will require companies to hand over the Internet protocol address and a series of device-identification numbers, allowing police to build a detailed profile on a person using their digital footprint and to facilitate the tracking of a person's movement through the location of their cellphone.The bill will also require ISPs and cellphone companies to install equipment for real-time surveillance and create new police powers designed to obtain access to the surveillance data.Meanwhile, internal Public Safety records released to Postmedia News under access-to-information flag non-criminal matters as a rationale for warrantless access to subscriber information.
Canada's privacy commissioners banded together last year to complaint to Toews about this proposed system of expanded surveillance, saying police shouldn't have unrestricted access to basic subscriber information held by telecommunications companies. This, along with other new powers, adds significant new capabilities for investigators to track and search and seize digital information about individuals.
Jennifer Stoddart, Canada's privacy commissioner, and Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's privacy commissioner, followed up with two separate public pleadings last fall to reiterate their concerns.At a minimum, the untenable proposal for warrantless access to subscriber information should be withdrawn,Cavoukian argued.The internal records show that department officials said this wasn't tenable because it could limit the ability of police to access basic subscriber information in non-emergencies and warrants are generally granted for criminal investigations. Requiring a warrant would be problematic when police undertake non-criminal, general policing duties, such as contacting next-of-kin after a traffic accident or returning stolen property, the records state.But senior departmental officials also criticized Toews, who previously served as attorney general of Canada and Manitoba, for failing to state in his public response to Cavoukian that there are provisions of the Criminal Code that allow police to read emails without a warrant in special cases.In a letter to the editor, he wrote in part: Let me be clear. No legislation proposed in the past, present or future by a Conservative government will create powers for police to read emails without a warrant.
This is problematic because Section 184.4 of the Criminal Code currently provides for that, the director of national security technologies at Public Safety wrote to colleagues after reading the letter.University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist, who reviewed the internal records, said the government appears to want to have it both ways.While Toews publicly says the bill is designed to go after users of child pornography, internal records refer to other issues, says Geist.You just can't be serious. On one hand, we'd got Vic Toews screaming about child pornography cases and on the other hand, it's pretty clear that one of their main justifications is that this has to do with non-emergency situations that aren't even criminal situations. To say that you're going to drop key privacy protections because you want to return a kid's bike is just absurd,Geist said.The records also show that one of the cases flagged by the RCMP to help Public Safety build its case in favour of the bill, known as Operation Carole, involved images that did not meet the Criminal Code definition of child pornography. As a result, production orders or search warrants could not be obtained, the RCMP summary states.The point here is that you're not supposed to get a warrant and access this information for content that isn't even illegal. What they're saying is, this is content that wasn't illegal and so that was why they couldn't get a warrant, so now they need to change the law on the mandatory basis to get that same information? That just invites fishing expeditions and other forays into personal information without proper justification, said Geist.
The records also said that to require the police to obtain a warrant to access basic subscriber information would literally collapse an already over-burdened judicial system.Information provided by the RCMP at the department's request shows about 94 per cent of requests for basic subscriber information is provided voluntarily by ISPs. The telecoms refuse in six per cent of the cases, RCMP statistics provided to the department state.with files from Jordan Press, Postmedia News

AND HE IS A CALL FOR A GLOBAL TAX.THEY WILL CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES THROUGHT THIS WORLD GOVERNMENT(GOVERNENCE)DICTATORSHIP.
Obama’s CFR Economic Council Director Calls for Global Tax Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 14, 2012
Gene the Machine Sperling has called for a global minimum tax on corporations. Obama’s director of the National Economic Council linked the call to the so-called Buffett Rule, a scheme based on statements made by investor Warren Buffett who said government should confiscate more money from the rich in order to reduce the tax burden on the poor.Following Sperling’s comments yesterday and heated response in the blogosphere, officialdom responded by saying there’s no United Nations-imposed duty in the works,as Politico phrased it.Sperling said the government is looking for shared sacrifice in its quest for more revenue. He was referring to our proposal in the Blueprint for an American Built to Last that removes tax incentives for companies that ship jobs overseas,a White House official said.The Cato Institute did some fact checking after Obama’s SOTU teleprompter reading. Cato points out that the government encourages sending American jobs to slave labor hellholes like China and Vietnam and imposes a 40 percent tax rate on corporations that invest in the United States.
Obama’s Blueprint for an American Built to Last is cynical class warfare rhetoric for the ill-informed who will vote him back into office in November. The so-called 1% never pay taxes. They put their money into tax-exempt securities and move it offshore.In other words, the genuinely rich are likely to be the least harmed by high tax rates in the top brackets, writes Thomas Sowell. People who are looking for jobs are likely to be the most harmed, because they cannot equally easily transfer themselves overseas to take the jobs that are being created there by American investments that are fleeing from high tax rates at home.Likewise, small business – the real engine of job creation in America – is unable to transfer themselves overseas and escape the tax collectors.Officialdom insists Obama’s blueprint wasn’t cooked up at the United Nations. Instead, it was conceived by the globalists at the Council on Foreign Relations, where Mr. Sperling is on staff as Senior Fellow for Economic Policy.The CFR, Federal Reserve, Geithner’s Treasury where Sperling works, the IMF, World Bank, the Trilateral Commission, and the United Nations all work for the international bankers who are installing world government and a centralized global banking structure, so any dismissals by the White House are irrelevant.

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Assad wins out against opposition as Russia and Iran strengthen ties DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 11, 2012, 10:24 PM (GMT+02:00)
Western intelligence sources reporting in real time found Saturday night, Feb. 11, that Bashar Assad's loyal military and security forces had by and large managed to subdue the rebellion against the regime. They are now purging the last pockets of resistance, especially in Syria's third largest city, Homs. Still to come are possible flare-ups here and there and inevitably more horror stories of atrocities, but to all intents and purposes Syria's eleven-month uprising is all but over.In recent days, mass demonstrations and battles with armed rebels have virtually disappeared from the streets of the main protest centers of Daraa, Hama, Deir al-Zour, Abu Kemal, Zabadan and the restive outskirts of Damascus, which armed rebels briefly captured last month.In Homs, soldiers of the 40th and 90th mechanized brigades are hunting down rebels hiding in the town and shooting them on sight.
A new name joined the gallery of Syrian mass murderers this week: Gen. Zuhair al-Assad, commander of the brutal six-day tank-backed assault and siege of Homs. This kinsman of the president had no qualms about gunning down hundreds of civilians in order to liquidate a small armed rebel group.
debkafile's military sources report that without outside armed intervention to halt the bloodbath – and there is no sign of any repetition of the NATO action which cut short Muammar Qaddafi's long reign – Bashar Assad will soon finish crushing the popular and armed resistance against him, helped by arms and military backing from Russia, Iran and Hizballah.Military intervention is not on the cards for the United States - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu was told Friday, Feb. 9 when he arrived in Washington to request US participation in organizing a Turkish-Arab operation in Syria or, at least, the supply of Western and Arab arms to the Syrian rebels.Of the six revolts against Arab autocracies in the past year, two were crushed. The King of Bahrain was saved by Saudi and Gulf military support and now Assad looks like being the second survivor. The difference between them is that the Al-Khalifa House of Bahrain was rescued by Arab forces while the Syrian president is stamping out the uprising against him with the help of non-Arab powers, Iran and Russia.Both powers sent important officials to Damascus last week: Iran's al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani was there Sunday and Monday (5-6 Feb.) at the head of a large military-intelligence delegation. No sooner was it gone when Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and SVR intelligence chief Mikhail Fradkov were deposited at the door of Assad's presidential palace.
According to debkafile's military and intelligence sources, both were on missions to finalize Russian-Iranian-Syrian collaboration in Syria and the Middle East after the regime finally suppresses the revolt.
Saturday night, Moscow pledged to continue to shield the Assad regime at the United Nations
Although fighting continues in some places, Bashar Assad is at the threshold of a major success. His victory may be short-lived but it is significant all the same, offering kudos for the Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah alliance and a contretemps for the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

A fatal attack on Israelis abroad could spark war with Iran and Hizballah DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis February 13, 2012, 10:35 PM (GMT+02:00)
This time, no one was killed although an Talya Yehoshua- KIoren, wife of the Defense Ministry representative in India, and three others were injured by a sticky bomb planted on her Innova SUV in New Delhi Monday, Feb. 13, at almost exactly the same time as a similar device was safely defused in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
In recent weeks, terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets were foiled in Thailand, Azerbaijan and Argentina. However much they deny this, Iran and Hizballah are clearly determined to keep on trying until they achieve their objective of killing targeted Israelis.debkafile’s military sources say that the odds are on their eventual success, after failing in four out of five tries.On this assumption, Israel’s chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz summoned three senior staff officers to a conference as soon as the first reports came in from New Delhi and Tbilisi at around noon Monday. It was attended by Military Intelligence Director Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavy, Air Force commander Ido Nehushtan and Operations Division chief Maj. Gen. Yaakov Ayash. The meeting’s level indicated that it was not limited to discussing the immediate import of the two bombing attacks but focused rather on the broader ramifications of a potential attack with Israeli fatalities and its impact on the prospects of war.
This assumption does not look far-fetched when it is recalled that deadly terrorist attacks in the past plunged Israel into two major wars.On June 3, 1982, four terrorists gunned down Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov outside the Dorchester in London. He was in a coma until his death 21 years later. Three days after the attack, Israeli troops invaded Lebanon to fight the Palestinians and Syria.
Twenty-four years later, on July 12, 2006, Hizballah raiders crossed into Israel and attacked an IDF patrol. They killed three of its members and dragged two back into Lebanon to be held as hostages. Before the day ended, Israel was at war, this time with Hizballah.
So the agenda on Gen. Gantz’s urgent discussion with the IDF’s intelligence, air force and operations chiefs
was obviously not about plans to fly Israeli troops to New Delhi or Tbilisi, but for a calculus of the proximity of a full-scale war at some point in the ongoing wave of terror.For some weeks now, the Middle East has been teetering at the edge of a precipice. A sudden shove could push it over the edge into full-blown armed hostilities without President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or even Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being in control. The atmosphere is already dangerously charged over the crisis in Syria, reciprocal US and Iranian threats over the Strait of Hormuz, and US and Israeli preparations to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
But wars may be ignited without notice by a small spark or a terrorist attack far from Middle East shores that would cause enough Israeli fatalities to satisfy its instigators in Tehran and Beirut and provoke an Israeli military response. This was dangerously close to happening in New Delhi Monday.

Navy Seals Say False Flag to be Blamed on Iran May Happen at Anytime: Ed Asner Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 14, 2012
Appearing on the Alex Jones Show on Monday, Emmy Award-winning actor Ed Asner said Navy Seals have told him military action against Iran is forthcoming and will be preceded by a false flag attack.Asner told Alex and his nationally syndicated radio show audience that the Seals are attempting to alert the American people about the prospect of a false flag operation and more foreign escapades before the establishment media starts brainwashing us.Beginning at 8 minutes and 57 seconds in the first video clip above, Asner said Iran is being set-up for military action that will occur during the summer or fall and create an October surprise prior to the election.
Asner said it is up to the American people to recognize and prevent an imminent false flag operation and stop another disastrous war before it gets started. He said the Navy Seals are now coming forward because they are worried that an Iran false flag attack runs the danger of creating a world-wide conflict if it gets out of hand.
False flag attacks designed to initiate conflict and war have been used numerous times by governments as a foreign policy tactic. During the Asner interview, Alex mentioned Dick Cheney’s effort to start a war with Iran.There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war,said Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh in 2008.The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.Cheney’s idea was rejected, but it was eerily reminiscent of the so-called Gulf of Tonkin incident that never occurred but resulted in the Vietnam War that ultimately claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans and around three million Southeast Asians.The Gulf of Tonkin pretext established a pattern of continuous government lies passed on by pliant mass media, write Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon.In addition to Cheney’s idea of luring Iran into a conflict, the Bush administration devised a plan to trick Saddam Hussein into attacking a U.S. spy plane disguised as a United Nations aircraft.The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colors. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach,Bush wrote in a memorandum to then British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)
THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT FALSE FLAG FOR AMERICA TO GO AFTER IRANS NUKE SITES BUT LET ISRAEL DO THE BOMBINGS WITH AMERICAN BUNKER BUSTERS SO ISRAEL GETS THE BLAME.SO THAT,THAT COWARD OBAMA MUSLIM FRAUD WON'T BE ATTACKED BY RUSSIA FOR GOING AFTER IRAN OR SYRIA.
Iran Accuses Israel of Attacking Its Own Targets Abroad?-Iran accuses Israel of bombing its own embassies abroad in an effort to tarnish Iran’s friendly tie with the host countries.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 2/13/2012, 9:35 PM
In response to the attack on Israeli diplomats in India - and the thwarted attack in Georgia on Monday - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran, calling it the biggest exporter of terror in the world.The Israeli government and her security organizations are continuing to operate together with local security services against these acts of terror, Netanyahu said.We will continue to act in a strong way, systematically and steadfastly,Neyahyahu said.However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that Israel was behind the attacks saying it to tarnish Iran’s friendly tie with the host countries.The IRNA also quoted Mehmanparast as having brushed aside the Israeli accusation of Iranian involvement in the bombing and that Israel perpetrated the terrorist actions to launch psychological warfare against Iran.Iran condemns terrorism in strongest term and Iran has been the victim of terrorism, Mehmanparast said, echoing a previous denial by officials in Tehran,Yet, just a few days ago, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proclaimed that, the Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor that will be removed.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the attacks and said, The United States places a high priority on the safety and security of diplomatic personnel around the world, and we stand ready to assist with any investigation of these cowardly actions,CNN reported.
Iran Denies Culpability in Delhi Bombing-Iran says accusations by Israel that it was behind the bombings in India and Georgia targeting Israeli diplomats were sheer lies'By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/13/2012, 8:33 PM
Iranian official Mehdi Nabizadeh said Israel's assertion Iran was behind the twin bombing attacks on Jerusalem's embassies in India and Georgia on Monday were sheer lies.Any terrorist attack is condemned (by Iran) and we strongly reject the untrue comments by an Israeli official, Nabizadeh was quoted as saying by IRNA. These accusations are untrue and sheer lies, like previous times.Iran's Foreign Ministry also joined the verbal fusillade on Israel saying Tehran rejects the Zionist regime's accusations, which are part of a propaganda war.The comments were carried by the Iranian Arabic-language channel al-Alam.While Iranian officials say they condemn any terrorist attack they continue to fund known anti-Israel terrorist organizations like Hizbullah and Hamas throughout the region.Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who was briefed on Monday's events, also said that Israel was aware of the culprits behind the attacks, but declined to specify who that was.
Israeli diplomats are on the front lines, he said, adding that Israel knows how to identity who is responsible for the blast.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, however, explicitly accused Iran and Hizbullah of carrying out Monday's attacks saying Iran is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world,Noting that Israel had thwarted several similar attempts in recent months, Netanyahu said,Iran and its proxy Hizbullah were behind all of these attempted attacks.President Shimon Peres also blamed Iran and Hizbullah, saying Israel will not be bullied by terrorists.Tn explosion tore through an Israeli diplomat's car in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, India, Monday, wounding the wife of Israel's Defense Attaché in Delhi and lightly injuring three others.The injured woman was identified as Tal Yehoshua Koren. She suffered moderate shrapnel wounds to her lower body and was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.Dehli Police Commander BK Gupta said his department's Special Cell, which handles serious incidents that impact public security in the city, will be heading the bombing probe.They are expected to be joined by investigators from the Indian national governments Anti-Terrorism Squad.
Gupta told reporters a lone motorcyclist attached a magnetic explosive device to the car before racing off - a tactic nearly identical to that used to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists.The People's Mujahadeen of Iran (MEK) has been widely blamed for those attacks. Last week officials in the Obama administration accused Israel of training, funding, and aiding the MEK.
Israel Can Harm Iran in Ways Prohibited in US-Israel carries out attacks on Iran that are prohibited by the US, Newsweek reports. Israel doesn’t tell and the US doesn’t want to know.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 2/13/2012, 11:19 AM
Israel is carrying out attacks on Iran that are prohibited by the United States, Newsweek-Daily Beast stated Monday in a report that also says new Mossad chief Tamir Pardo visited Washington to gauge American reactions if Israel strikes Iran.American officials reportedly said that Pardo asked, What is our posture on Iran? Are we [the US] ready to bomb? Would we [do so later]? What does it mean if [Israel] does it anyway? Under the headline Obama’s Dangerous Game With Iran, the article revealed what many have assumed – that the United States and Israel have different red lines on Iran; that President Barack Obama’s speech against a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria tipped the scales of distrust from Jerusalem; and Israel and the United States are sharing intelligence – but not all of it.Not to be forgotten is that President Barack Obama wants to be re-elected, and all-out war might get in his way, although a few pundits have observed that it might actually be an advantage for him if it restores the United States’ stature as a world leader for peace and freedom.
Since President Obama moved into the White House, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu increasingly felt that when the president spoke about Iran and his opposition to the nuclearization of Iran ... the Israeli factor did not play prominently,according to Newsweek.Washington and Jerusalem have been in constant contact with each other, and the Obama administration has made it clear it wants to count on economic sanctions to stop Iran’s race for a nuclear weapon. Above all, the White House doesn’t want Israel to start a war – not yet, anyway,the magazine reported.Regarding what the magazine called mysterious assassins, one of whom killed an Iranian scientist last month one day before President Obama called Prime Minister Netanyahu, the magazine stated, Israel has no qualms about assassinating Iranians involved in nuclear research, for instance; U.S. law forbids it [because] drone strikes against jihadist leaders are considered acts of war.A senior U.S. intelligence official says that both sides performed a kind of Kabuki dance on the assassinations and industrial accidents that have increased in Iran during the past year: The Israelis don’t want to say and we don’t want to know…They knew that if we gave them certain kinds of information we’d run the risk of breaking the law. We often held things back from them—satellite imagery and other kinds of intelligence that could have helped them with their activities.Mossad chief Pardo’s visit to Washington was aimed at taking “the pulse of the Obama administration and determine what the consequences would be if Israel bombed Iranian nuclear sites over American objections,Newsweek added.
It has been clear that Israel and America’s red lines are not the same because the United States, unlike Israel, has the military capacity and distance from Iran that allows it to wait until Iran has a nuclear weapon, a luxury Israel cannot afford.
Israeli officials have concluded that President Obama has come to realize that Iran simply is playing charades and has no intention of cooperating with inspection of its nuclear facilities.Sources told Newsweek that it took the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad‘s brutal suppression of protests three years ago and the discovery of a new underground nuclear facility near Qom to convince President Obama to ratchet up sanctions.He has allowed the CIA to continue its policy of covert operations while he carries out harsher sanctions to punish the Iranian economy.
Israel is more optimistic than before, and the magazine quoted a close aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu as saying, The rhetoric from the United States today is different from what it was a year ago. Today, when you listen to Obama ... you get the feeling the Americans are ready to attack if worse comes to worst.The sticking point for Israel is President Obama’s refusal to promise to act militarily if sanctions fail.
If Israel will miss its last opportunity [to attack], then we will have to lean only on the United States, and if the United States decides not to attack, then we will face an Iran with a bomb,a former Israeli official told the magazine.

Op-Ed: Two States With a River Between Them: Mudar Zahran Published: Monday, February 13, 2012 1:09 PM-The writer could live with not achieving Jabotinsky's original hopes of Two banks of the Jordan. So can Mudar Zahran.
David Haivri
David Ha'ivri heads The Shomron International Liaison Office. He deals with foreign press, tours, partnerships and philanthropy for the development of the Jewish communities in the Shomron. He is a strategic advisor to Mayor Gershon Mesika. He and his wife Mollie live in Kfar Tapuach with their eight children.
Nearly 20 years after the Peace Process between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs was initiated at the Madrid Conference, we have seen years of stalemate. Even with all the billions of dollars being spent by the international community and all of the pressure being exerted on Israel to establish a Palestinian state in areas captured by Israel from Egypt and Jordan in 1967, Israeli leadership knows that progress in this direction would be dangerous - to say the least - for the future of the state of Israel.The Israeli leaders make great efforts to seem accommodating to the concept of Two States, but on the other hand they thank G-d for every refusal by the Palestinian Arab side. Ironically, it is they, the Palestinian Arab leadership, who are the greatest hope that a Palestinian state will not emerge in Judea and Samaria.
It is obvious to all involved at this point that the peace process is going nowhere and that the PA leadership is responsible. Everyone, including the Palestinians themselves, agree that the Oslo Accords and the PA are a disappointment and have failed. But, for lack of a better idea, all continue to push the Oslo agenda as if that is the only path possible to facilitate peace in the Middle East.Some are so caught up in the Two States mantra that they seem not to realize that Israel and the Palestinian Arabs have not been at the core of all the tension and conflict in the Middle East over the past year. With the widespread Arab Spring uprisings, governments throughout the Arab world are shaking from the demand for rights and changes in leadership. In Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria, people are being killed in their quest for freedom.Yet - while the Palestinian Arabs in Judea and Samaria have taken to the streets in the past, this year has been relatively quiet. That should be a sign to all that the people realize their status quo under Israeli rule is far better than they can expect under Arab leadership.
They have seen the PLO and Hamas oppress them here and they see what is going on in neighboring states. At this point, as the majority of Arabs in Jerusalem have been telling the polls, life under Israel is their choice.As gratifying as this choice may be, Israel, too, has its own concerns. Israel is meant to be a Jewish State. Not wanting to lose its identity to a large non-Jewish population, many Israelis have supported the idea of cutting off Judea and Samaria. Not so much because they disregard the Jewish claim to this land, but because they wish to lose the large Arab population there.However, there is another option that could satisfy the call for self-determination for the Arabs of the pre-Israel Palestine Mandate region (even though they never had their own country and were not considered a nation independent of the Arab community). Many Israelis are uncomfortable with using the term Palestinian because it seems to give legitimacy to the claim that they are a distinct people who should have their own country. The objection is understandable with the added threat that that country to be would be carved out of Israel's heartland.
I, too, tended to refrain from using this terminology until I came across a Jordanian national of Palestinian descent. Mudar Zahran is a Jordanian resident taking refuge in the UK. His crime is that he wishes to hold true democratic elections in Jordan, to allow their population a choice of leadership. Currently, Jordan's large Palestinian population is ruled by a small Bedouin minority, and their little King Abdullah. (For a complete explanation followed by a letter from Zahran on Arutz Sheva, click here.)Abdullah himself is a British national supported by he USA and England. How ironic that those western countries that are so concerned that Israel grant rights to her Arab population sponsor Abdullah's regime right next door.Loyal Zionists like myself might have a hard time tapping into the Jordan is Palestine concept because it could be understood as forfeiting rights of the Jewish people to the land of Israel as promised to our fathers by G-d in the Bible. As the great Zionist leader and politician wrote: There are two banks to the Jordan River; this one is mine and so is the other . . .The reality is that the land east of the Jordan River is not under Jewish jurisdiction today, and there are no plans to change that in the works. Maybe at this time it would be wise to merge the two ideas: Two States living in peace, side by side, with the Jordan River between them.
This could solve a number of problems, offering the Arabs of Israel the choice of migrating a short distance to achieve their aspiration to live in their own Arab country. The democratically elected government of that country could choose to rename it Palestine, if their people so please.And uncountable amounts of expenditures would be saved - both on international aid for the endless and so far unfruitful efforts to accommodate the establishment of a Palestinian state, and also in military spending by Israel that is currently necessary to defend itself from the Palestinian threat.Israel could afford to be helpful to the new country by helping it establish workplaces and agriculture to feed its people and manage its water.
Only Israel West of the Jordan” could be compatible with Jordan is Palestine: Two States living in peace, side by side, with a river between them.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW)and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY)of the north quarters, and all his bands:(SUDAN,AFRICA) and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Assad wins out against opposition as Russia and Iran strengthen ties DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 11, 2012, 10:24 PM (GMT+02:00)
Western intelligence sources reporting in real time found Saturday night, Feb. 11, that Bashar Assad's loyal military and security forces had by and large managed to subdue the rebellion against the regime. They are now purging the last pockets of resistance, especially in Syria's third largest city, Homs. Still to come are possible flare-ups here and there and inevitably more horror stories of atrocities, but to all intents and purposes Syria's eleven-month uprising is all but over.In recent days, mass demonstrations and battles with armed rebels have virtually disappeared from the streets of the main protest centers of Daraa, Hama, Deir al-Zour, Abu Kemal, Zabadan and the restive outskirts of Damascus, which armed rebels briefly captured last month.In Homs, soldiers of the 40th and 90th mechanized brigades are hunting down rebels hiding in the town and shooting them on sight.
A new name joined the gallery of Syrian mass murderers this week: Gen. Zuhair al-Assad, commander of the brutal six-day tank-backed assault and siege of Homs. This kinsman of the president had no qualms about gunning down hundreds of civilians in order to liquidate a small armed rebel group.
debkafile's military sources report that without outside armed intervention to halt the bloodbath – and there is no sign of any repetition of the NATO action which cut short Muammar Qaddafi's long reign – Bashar Assad will soon finish crushing the popular and armed resistance against him, helped by arms and military backing from Russia, Iran and Hizballah.Military intervention is not on the cards for the United States - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu was told Friday, Feb. 9 when he arrived in Washington to request US participation in organizing a Turkish-Arab operation in Syria or, at least, the supply of Western and Arab arms to the Syrian rebels.Of the six revolts against Arab autocracies in the past year, two were crushed. The King of Bahrain was saved by Saudi and Gulf military support and now Assad looks like being the second survivor. The difference between them is that the Al-Khalifa House of Bahrain was rescued by Arab forces while the Syrian president is stamping out the uprising against him with the help of non-Arab powers, Iran and Russia.Both powers sent important officials to Damascus last week: Iran's al Qods Brigades commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani was there Sunday and Monday (5-6 Feb.) at the head of a large military-intelligence delegation. No sooner was it gone when Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and SVR intelligence chief Mikhail Fradkov were deposited at the door of Assad's presidential palace.
According to debkafile's military and intelligence sources, both were on missions to finalize Russian-Iranian-Syrian collaboration in Syria and the Middle East after the regime finally suppresses the revolt.
Saturday night, Moscow pledged to continue to shield the Assad regime at the United Nations
Although fighting continues in some places, Bashar Assad is at the threshold of a major success. His victory may be short-lived but it is significant all the same, offering kudos for the Iranian-Syrian-Hizballah alliance and a contretemps for the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

A fatal attack on Israelis abroad could spark war with Iran and Hizballah DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis February 13, 2012, 10:35 PM (GMT+02:00)
This time, no one was killed although an Talya Yehoshua- KIoren, wife of the Defense Ministry representative in India, and three others were injured by a sticky bomb planted on her Innova SUV in New Delhi Monday, Feb. 13, at almost exactly the same time as a similar device was safely defused in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
In recent weeks, terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets were foiled in Thailand, Azerbaijan and Argentina. However much they deny this, Iran and Hizballah are clearly determined to keep on trying until they achieve their objective of killing targeted Israelis.debkafile’s military sources say that the odds are on their eventual success, after failing in four out of five tries.On this assumption, Israel’s chief of staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz summoned three senior staff officers to a conference as soon as the first reports came in from New Delhi and Tbilisi at around noon Monday. It was attended by Military Intelligence Director Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavy, Air Force commander Ido Nehushtan and Operations Division chief Maj. Gen. Yaakov Ayash. The meeting’s level indicated that it was not limited to discussing the immediate import of the two bombing attacks but focused rather on the broader ramifications of a potential attack with Israeli fatalities and its impact on the prospects of war.
This assumption does not look far-fetched when it is recalled that deadly terrorist attacks in the past plunged Israel into two major wars.On June 3, 1982, four terrorists gunned down Israeli ambassador Shlomo Argov outside the Dorchester in London. He was in a coma until his death 21 years later. Three days after the attack, Israeli troops invaded Lebanon to fight the Palestinians and Syria.
Twenty-four years later, on July 12, 2006, Hizballah raiders crossed into Israel and attacked an IDF patrol. They killed three of its members and dragged two back into Lebanon to be held as hostages. Before the day ended, Israel was at war, this time with Hizballah.
So the agenda on Gen. Gantz’s urgent discussion with the IDF’s intelligence, air force and operations chiefs
was obviously not about plans to fly Israeli troops to New Delhi or Tbilisi, but for a calculus of the proximity of a full-scale war at some point in the ongoing wave of terror.For some weeks now, the Middle East has been teetering at the edge of a precipice. A sudden shove could push it over the edge into full-blown armed hostilities without President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu or even Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei being in control. The atmosphere is already dangerously charged over the crisis in Syria, reciprocal US and Iranian threats over the Strait of Hormuz, and US and Israeli preparations to strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
But wars may be ignited without notice by a small spark or a terrorist attack far from Middle East shores that would cause enough Israeli fatalities to satisfy its instigators in Tehran and Beirut and provoke an Israeli military response. This was dangerously close to happening in New Delhi Monday.

Navy Seals Say False Flag to be Blamed on Iran May Happen at Anytime: Ed Asner Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com February 14, 2012
Appearing on the Alex Jones Show on Monday, Emmy Award-winning actor Ed Asner said Navy Seals have told him military action against Iran is forthcoming and will be preceded by a false flag attack.Asner told Alex and his nationally syndicated radio show audience that the Seals are attempting to alert the American people about the prospect of a false flag operation and more foreign escapades before the establishment media starts brainwashing us.Beginning at 8 minutes and 57 seconds in the first video clip above, Asner said Iran is being set-up for military action that will occur during the summer or fall and create an October surprise prior to the election.
Asner said it is up to the American people to recognize and prevent an imminent false flag operation and stop another disastrous war before it gets started. He said the Navy Seals are now coming forward because they are worried that an Iran false flag attack runs the danger of creating a world-wide conflict if it gets out of hand.
False flag attacks designed to initiate conflict and war have been used numerous times by governments as a foreign policy tactic. During the Asner interview, Alex mentioned Dick Cheney’s effort to start a war with Iran.There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war,said Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh in 2008.The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up.Cheney’s idea was rejected, but it was eerily reminiscent of the so-called Gulf of Tonkin incident that never occurred but resulted in the Vietnam War that ultimately claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans and around three million Southeast Asians.The Gulf of Tonkin pretext established a pattern of continuous government lies passed on by pliant mass media, write Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon.In addition to Cheney’s idea of luring Iran into a conflict, the Bush administration devised a plan to trick Saddam Hussein into attacking a U.S. spy plane disguised as a United Nations aircraft.The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colors. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach,Bush wrote in a memorandum to then British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)
THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT FALSE FLAG FOR AMERICA TO GO AFTER IRANS NUKE SITES BUT LET ISRAEL DO THE BOMBINGS WITH AMERICAN BUNKER BUSTERS SO ISRAEL GETS THE BLAME.SO THAT,THAT COWARD OBAMA MUSLIM FRAUD WON'T BE ATTACKED BY RUSSIA FOR GOING AFTER IRAN OR SYRIA.
Iran Accuses Israel of Attacking Its Own Targets Abroad?-Iran accuses Israel of bombing its own embassies abroad in an effort to tarnish Iran’s friendly tie with the host countries.By Rachel Hirshfeld First Publish: 2/13/2012, 9:35 PM
In response to the attack on Israeli diplomats in India - and the thwarted attack in Georgia on Monday - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran, calling it the biggest exporter of terror in the world.The Israeli government and her security organizations are continuing to operate together with local security services against these acts of terror, Netanyahu said.We will continue to act in a strong way, systematically and steadfastly,Neyahyahu said.However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) that Israel was behind the attacks saying it to tarnish Iran’s friendly tie with the host countries.The IRNA also quoted Mehmanparast as having brushed aside the Israeli accusation of Iranian involvement in the bombing and that Israel perpetrated the terrorist actions to launch psychological warfare against Iran.Iran condemns terrorism in strongest term and Iran has been the victim of terrorism, Mehmanparast said, echoing a previous denial by officials in Tehran,Yet, just a few days ago, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proclaimed that, the Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor that will be removed.U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the attacks and said, The United States places a high priority on the safety and security of diplomatic personnel around the world, and we stand ready to assist with any investigation of these cowardly actions,CNN reported.
Iran Denies Culpability in Delhi Bombing-Iran says accusations by Israel that it was behind the bombings in India and Georgia targeting Israeli diplomats were sheer lies'By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 2/13/2012, 8:33 PM
Iranian official Mehdi Nabizadeh said Israel's assertion Iran was behind the twin bombing attacks on Jerusalem's embassies in India and Georgia on Monday were sheer lies.Any terrorist attack is condemned (by Iran) and we strongly reject the untrue comments by an Israeli official, Nabizadeh was quoted as saying by IRNA. These accusations are untrue and sheer lies, like previous times.Iran's Foreign Ministry also joined the verbal fusillade on Israel saying Tehran rejects the Zionist regime's accusations, which are part of a propaganda war.The comments were carried by the Iranian Arabic-language channel al-Alam.While Iranian officials say they condemn any terrorist attack they continue to fund known anti-Israel terrorist organizations like Hizbullah and Hamas throughout the region.Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who was briefed on Monday's events, also said that Israel was aware of the culprits behind the attacks, but declined to specify who that was.
Israeli diplomats are on the front lines, he said, adding that Israel knows how to identity who is responsible for the blast.Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, however, explicitly accused Iran and Hizbullah of carrying out Monday's attacks saying Iran is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world,Noting that Israel had thwarted several similar attempts in recent months, Netanyahu said,Iran and its proxy Hizbullah were behind all of these attempted attacks.President Shimon Peres also blamed Iran and Hizbullah, saying Israel will not be bullied by terrorists.Tn explosion tore through an Israeli diplomat's car in the vicinity of the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi, India, Monday, wounding the wife of Israel's Defense Attaché in Delhi and lightly injuring three others.The injured woman was identified as Tal Yehoshua Koren. She suffered moderate shrapnel wounds to her lower body and was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.Dehli Police Commander BK Gupta said his department's Special Cell, which handles serious incidents that impact public security in the city, will be heading the bombing probe.They are expected to be joined by investigators from the Indian national governments Anti-Terrorism Squad.
Gupta told reporters a lone motorcyclist attached a magnetic explosive device to the car before racing off - a tactic nearly identical to that used to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists.The People's Mujahadeen of Iran (MEK) has been widely blamed for those attacks. Last week officials in the Obama administration accused Israel of training, funding, and aiding the MEK.
Israel Can Harm Iran in Ways Prohibited in US-Israel carries out attacks on Iran that are prohibited by the US, Newsweek reports. Israel doesn’t tell and the US doesn’t want to know.By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu First Publish: 2/13/2012, 11:19 AM
Israel is carrying out attacks on Iran that are prohibited by the United States, Newsweek-Daily Beast stated Monday in a report that also says new Mossad chief Tamir Pardo visited Washington to gauge American reactions if Israel strikes Iran.American officials reportedly said that Pardo asked, What is our posture on Iran? Are we [the US] ready to bomb? Would we [do so later]? What does it mean if [Israel] does it anyway? Under the headline Obama’s Dangerous Game With Iran, the article revealed what many have assumed – that the United States and Israel have different red lines on Iran; that President Barack Obama’s speech against a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria tipped the scales of distrust from Jerusalem; and Israel and the United States are sharing intelligence – but not all of it.Not to be forgotten is that President Barack Obama wants to be re-elected, and all-out war might get in his way, although a few pundits have observed that it might actually be an advantage for him if it restores the United States’ stature as a world leader for peace and freedom.
Since President Obama moved into the White House, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu increasingly felt that when the president spoke about Iran and his opposition to the nuclearization of Iran ... the Israeli factor did not play prominently,according to Newsweek.Washington and Jerusalem have been in constant contact with each other, and the Obama administration has made it clear it wants to count on economic sanctions to stop Iran’s race for a nuclear weapon. Above all, the White House doesn’t want Israel to start a war – not yet, anyway,the magazine reported.Regarding what the magazine called mysterious assassins, one of whom killed an Iranian scientist last month one day before President Obama called Prime Minister Netanyahu, the magazine stated, Israel has no qualms about assassinating Iranians involved in nuclear research, for instance; U.S. law forbids it [because] drone strikes against jihadist leaders are considered acts of war.A senior U.S. intelligence official says that both sides performed a kind of Kabuki dance on the assassinations and industrial accidents that have increased in Iran during the past year: The Israelis don’t want to say and we don’t want to know…They knew that if we gave them certain kinds of information we’d run the risk of breaking the law. We often held things back from them—satellite imagery and other kinds of intelligence that could have helped them with their activities.Mossad chief Pardo’s visit to Washington was aimed at taking “the pulse of the Obama administration and determine what the consequences would be if Israel bombed Iranian nuclear sites over American objections,Newsweek added.
It has been clear that Israel and America’s red lines are not the same because the United States, unlike Israel, has the military capacity and distance from Iran that allows it to wait until Iran has a nuclear weapon, a luxury Israel cannot afford.
Israeli officials have concluded that President Obama has come to realize that Iran simply is playing charades and has no intention of cooperating with inspection of its nuclear facilities.Sources told Newsweek that it took the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad‘s brutal suppression of protests three years ago and the discovery of a new underground nuclear facility near Qom to convince President Obama to ratchet up sanctions.He has allowed the CIA to continue its policy of covert operations while he carries out harsher sanctions to punish the Iranian economy.
Israel is more optimistic than before, and the magazine quoted a close aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu as saying, The rhetoric from the United States today is different from what it was a year ago. Today, when you listen to Obama ... you get the feeling the Americans are ready to attack if worse comes to worst.The sticking point for Israel is President Obama’s refusal to promise to act militarily if sanctions fail.
If Israel will miss its last opportunity [to attack], then we will have to lean only on the United States, and if the United States decides not to attack, then we will face an Iran with a bomb,a former Israeli official told the magazine.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Op-Ed: Two States With a River Between Them: Mudar Zahran Published: Monday, February 13, 2012 1:09 PM-The writer could live with not achieving Jabotinsky's original hopes of Two banks of the Jordan. So can Mudar Zahran.
David Haivri
David Ha'ivri heads The Shomron International Liaison Office. He deals with foreign press, tours, partnerships and philanthropy for the development of the Jewish communities in the Shomron. He is a strategic advisor to Mayor Gershon Mesika. He and his wife Mollie live in Kfar Tapuach with their eight children.
Nearly 20 years after the Peace Process between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs was initiated at the Madrid Conference, we have seen years of stalemate. Even with all the billions of dollars being spent by the international community and all of the pressure being exerted on Israel to establish a Palestinian state in areas captured by Israel from Egypt and Jordan in 1967, Israeli leadership knows that progress in this direction would be dangerous - to say the least - for the future of the state of Israel.The Israeli leaders make great efforts to seem accommodating to the concept of Two States, but on the other hand they thank G-d for every refusal by the Palestinian Arab side. Ironically, it is they, the Palestinian Arab leadership, who are the greatest hope that a Palestinian state will not emerge in Judea and Samaria.
It is obvious to all involved at this point that the peace process is going nowhere and that the PA leadership is responsible. Everyone, including the Palestinians themselves, agree that the Oslo Accords and the PA are a disappointment and have failed. But, for lack of a better idea, all continue to push the Oslo agenda as if that is the only path possible to facilitate peace in the Middle East.Some are so caught up in the Two States mantra that they seem not to realize that Israel and the Palestinian Arabs have not been at the core of all the tension and conflict in the Middle East over the past year. With the widespread Arab Spring uprisings, governments throughout the Arab world are shaking from the demand for rights and changes in leadership. In Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria, people are being killed in their quest for freedom.Yet - while the Palestinian Arabs in Judea and Samaria have taken to the streets in the past, this year has been relatively quiet. That should be a sign to all that the people realize their status quo under Israeli rule is far better than they can expect under Arab leadership.
They have seen the PLO and Hamas oppress them here and they see what is going on in neighboring states. At this point, as the majority of Arabs in Jerusalem have been telling the polls, life under Israel is their choice.As gratifying as this choice may be, Israel, too, has its own concerns. Israel is meant to be a Jewish State. Not wanting to lose its identity to a large non-Jewish population, many Israelis have supported the idea of cutting off Judea and Samaria. Not so much because they disregard the Jewish claim to this land, but because they wish to lose the large Arab population there.However, there is another option that could satisfy the call for self-determination for the Arabs of the pre-Israel Palestine Mandate region (even though they never had their own country and were not considered a nation independent of the Arab community). Many Israelis are uncomfortable with using the term Palestinian because it seems to give legitimacy to the claim that they are a distinct people who should have their own country. The objection is understandable with the added threat that that country to be would be carved out of Israel's heartland.
I, too, tended to refrain from using this terminology until I came across a Jordanian national of Palestinian descent. Mudar Zahran is a Jordanian resident taking refuge in the UK. His crime is that he wishes to hold true democratic elections in Jordan, to allow their population a choice of leadership. Currently, Jordan's large Palestinian population is ruled by a small Bedouin minority, and their little King Abdullah. (For a complete explanation followed by a letter from Zahran on Arutz Sheva, click here.)Abdullah himself is a British national supported by he USA and England. How ironic that those western countries that are so concerned that Israel grant rights to her Arab population sponsor Abdullah's regime right next door.Loyal Zionists like myself might have a hard time tapping into the Jordan is Palestine concept because it could be understood as forfeiting rights of the Jewish people to the land of Israel as promised to our fathers by G-d in the Bible. As the great Zionist leader and politician wrote: There are two banks to the Jordan River; this one is mine and so is the other . . .The reality is that the land east of the Jordan River is not under Jewish jurisdiction today, and there are no plans to change that in the works. Maybe at this time it would be wise to merge the two ideas: Two States living in peace, side by side, with the Jordan River between them.
This could solve a number of problems, offering the Arabs of Israel the choice of migrating a short distance to achieve their aspiration to live in their own Arab country. The democratically elected government of that country could choose to rename it Palestine, if their people so please.And uncountable amounts of expenditures would be saved - both on international aid for the endless and so far unfruitful efforts to accommodate the establishment of a Palestinian state, and also in military spending by Israel that is currently necessary to defend itself from the Palestinian threat.Israel could afford to be helpful to the new country by helping it establish workplaces and agriculture to feed its people and manage its water.
Only Israel West of the Jordan” could be compatible with Jordan is Palestine: Two States living in peace, side by side, with a river between them.
BIG BANKS LAUNDER DRUG MONEY
DRUG PUSHERS AND ADDICTS
REVELATION 18:23
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (DRUGS) were all nations deceived.
REVELATION 9:21

THE CANADIAN CONNECTION: Drugs,Money Laundering and Canadian Banks
Recently, media attention has focused on Mexico's drug traffickers and the threat they pose to Canada and the United States. This follows revelations that General Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, the head of Mexico's National Institute for Combatting Drugs, has been in the pay of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, Mexico's most wanted drug lord, for the last seven years.Mexico is thus seen as a country on the verge of being taken over by drug cartels which have thoroughly corrupted the state. After conquering Mexico, the cartels will presumably corrupt North American institutions. However, on the issue of drugs, it is the North which is corrupting the South, not the other way around.To begin with, the Mexican cartels are fulfilling the demands of millions of North American drug users. As The Economist magazine puts it: the iron law of the market is that demand breeds supply.Northern economic policies towards the South encourage drug trafficking by debilitating their legal economies. Northern financial institutions benefit far more from drug money than any Southern trafficker.Structural Adjustment Programs imposed on Peru by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (both of which are U.S.-dominated) pushed four million people into extreme poverty, almost halved real wages, and cut those with adequate employment to 15 percent of the work-force. Consequently, there has been a forced migration of impoverished peasants and urban unemployed into coca growing as an alternative to starvation.In 1991, in exchange for $100 million from the United States, Peru put in place the IMF structural adjustment clause opening its markets to U.S. corn. As a result, by 1995, corn cultivation had fallen tenfold and coca production had grown by 50 percent.
MONEY LAUNDERING
Narco-corruption in North America is most significantly manifested in money laundering. Ninety-one percent of the $197 billion spent on cocaine in the U.S. stays there, and American banks launder $100 billion of drug money every year. Those identified as money laundering conduits include the Bank of Boston, Republic National Bank of New York, Landmark First National Bank, Great American Bank, People's Liberty Bank and Trust Co. of Kentucky, and Riggs National Bank of Washington.Citibank helped Raul Salinas (the brother of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas) move millions of dollars out of Mexico into secret Swiss bank accounts under false names. Swiss authorities have declared that this money (which totals $100 million) consists of payments from drug traffickers to Salinas, and are preparing to seize it.In 1993, two directors at the American Express Bank International (AEBI) in Beverly Hills, California wired drug money from Juan Garcia Abrego - the Mexican cocaine baron arrested and extradited to the United States in January 1996 - from the First City Texas Bank in McAllen, Texas to accounts in the Manhattan branch of Banker's Trust of New York. AEBI then invested the money in London, Switzerland, Mexico and Houston.In addition, Manufacturers Hanover, Chase Manhattan Bank, Chemical Bank and Irving Trust have admitted not reporting money transfers to the U.S. government (the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 requires that all transactions over $10,000 be reported). The Bank of America has been fined $4.75 million for not revealing transfers of more than $12 billion.The U.S. Treasury Department has penalized 25 banks for failure to report and in April 1990, hundreds of accounts in 173 banks were frozen by court order. The accounts were suspected of hiding almost $400 million in Colombian drug profits.Investment houses such as Merrill Lynch and EF Hutton have also handled millions of dollars in drug money (putting it in the New York bullion market).
THE CANADIAN CONNECTION
In September 1989, it was revealed that Canadian banks have been laundering drug money on an enormous scale. Notorious in this regard is the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) which has laundered $100 million in drug money through its Miami and Caribbean branches. The money was sent to the BNS' Bahamas and Cayman Islands branches from Miami and then wired to its New York office where the funds could be withdrawn by the original depositors.In 1981 and 1983, U.S. authorities subpoenaed records of the Bahamas and Cayman Islands BNS branches in connection with two investigations of drug trafficking. The bank gave up the documents only after being fined $1.8 million for delaying their release. BNS asked no questions about large cash deposits, ignored normal banking practices, and hid its depositor's identities by keeping minimal records. Also, BNS employees in the Caribbean were given thousands of dollars in tips by their clients for their understanding.Similarly, $726,000 in drug profits has been deposited in the Royal Bank of Canada. In 1989 the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) identified the Swiss Bank Corporation (Canada) as a repository of $14 million in drug money.Sales of narcotics generate approximately $10 billion a year in Canada and most of this is washed through Canadian banks and other legitimate businesses. While money laundering is a crime in Canada, just as it is in the U.S., bank reporting requirements in Canada are voluntary. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are included in the DEA's list of the 18 most prominent money laundering centres in the world.
NARCO-CORRUPTION
Narco-corruption in North America is widespread amongst public officials as well. Sixty policemen in Miami have been identified as corrupt and 80 lawmen and public officials in Georgia have been charged with serious offenses such as accepting bribes. A Georgia state senator promised to protect drug smugglers if they contributed to his campaign for the governorship.Thirty-two U.S. law enforcement officials including Customs agents have been indicted for border-related corruption which is systemic and pervasive according to the FBI. Two-thirds of the cocaine coming into the U.S. does so at official entry points along the Mexican frontier.In Miami, three FBI agents and one from Customs were charged with stealing $200,000 from drug dealers in 1994. A former senior Justice Department official and two former prosecutors were indicted in June 1995 on charges of helping Colombian drug barons in a criminal conspiracy.Kendall Coffey, the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, stated that the latter case showed the degree to which cocaine profits have corrupted the legal system. When the FBI tried to prosecute World Finance Corporation (an international lending company) for laundering drug money, the Bureau was reportedly informed by an Internal Revenue Service agent that WFC was a legitimate company: if it dealt in drug money so much the better; narcotics money that stayed in the U.S. was good for the economy.Published in:Briarpatch, July/August 1997-Americas Update, September/October 1996-The Foundation, April 1997-Prison News Service, Spring 1997

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters PF Louis Natural News February 1, 2012http://www.prisonplanet.com/drug-war-hypocrisy-drug-traffickings-big-money-benefits-big-brother-and-corrupt-banksters.html
The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, No, we can’t compete with the government.Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?
One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view
The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined Operation Mockingbird by Deborah Davis in her bookKatherine the Great.Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, theSan Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.Webb retaliated by having his bookDark Alliancepublished and making theNY Timesbest seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news,albeit briefly.Remember the movie Air America? It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.
Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new
When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the French Connection for heroin traffic.But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s old money families.
Among the familiar family names, according toWikipedia(source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.Sources for this article include:

How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs-As the violence spread, billions of dollars of cartel cash began to seep into the global financial system. But a special investigation by the Observer reveals how the increasingly frantic warnings of one London whistleblower were ignored Ed Vulliamy The Observer, Sunday 3 April 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoT_5Txwp5w
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/04/wachovia-paid-trivial-fine-for-nearly-400-billion-of-drug-related-money-laundering.html
On 10 April 2006, a DC-9 jet landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico, as the sun was setting. Mexican soldiers, waiting to intercept it, found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100m. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.During a 22-month investigation by agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and others, it emerged that the cocaine smugglers had bought the plane with money they had laundered through one of the biggest banks in the United States: Wachovia, now part of the giant Wells Fargo.The authorities uncovered billions of dollars in wire transfers, traveller's cheques and cash shipments through Mexican exchanges into Wachovia accounts. Wachovia was put under immediate investigation for failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering programme. Of special significance was that the period concerned began in 2004, which coincided with the first escalation of violence along the US-Mexico border that ignited the current drugs war.
Criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia, though not against any individual, but the case never came to court. In March 2010, Wachovia settled the biggest action brought under the US bank secrecy act, through the US district court in Miami. Now that the year's deferred prosecution has expired, the bank is in effect in the clear. It paid federal authorities $110m in forfeiture, for allowing transactions later proved to be connected to drug smuggling, and incurred a $50m fine for failing to monitor cash used to ship 22 tons of cocaine.More shocking, and more important, the bank was sanctioned for failing to apply the proper anti-laundering strictures to the transfer of $378.4bn – a sum equivalent to one-third of Mexico's gross national product – into dollar accounts from so-called casas de cambio (CDCs) in Mexico, currency exchange houses with which the bank did business.Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations, said Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor. Yet the total fine was less than 2% of the bank's $12.3bn profit for 2009. On 24 March 2010, Wells Fargo stock traded at $30.86 – up 1% on the week of the court settlement.The conclusion to the case was only the tip of an iceberg, demonstrating the role of the legal banking sector in swilling hundreds of billions of dollars – the blood money from the murderous drug trade in Mexico and other places in the world – around their global operations, now bailed out by the taxpayer.At the height of the 2008 banking crisis, Antonio Maria Costa, then head of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, said he had evidence to suggest the proceeds from drugs and crime were the only liquid investment capital available to banks on the brink of collapse. Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade, he said.There were signs that some banks were rescued that way.
Wachovia was acquired by Wells Fargo during the 2008 crash, just as Wells Fargo became a beneficiary of $25bn in taxpayers' money. Wachovia's prosecutors were clear, however, that there was no suggestion Wells Fargo had behaved improperly; it had co-operated fully with the investigation. Mexico is the US's third largest international trading partner and Wachovia was understandably interested in this volume of legitimate trade.Jos̩ Luis Marmolejo, who prosecuted those running one of the casas de cambio at the Mexican end, said: Wachovia handled all the transfers. They never reported any as suspicious.As early as 2004, Wachovia understood the risk, the bank admitted in the statement of settlement with the federal government, but, despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in the business. There is, of course, the legitimate use of CDCs as a way into the Hispanic market. In 2005 the World Bank said that Mexico was receiving $8.1bn in remittances.During research into the Wachovia Mexican case, the Observer obtained documents previously provided to financial regulators. It emerged that the alarm that was ignored came from, among other places, London, as a result of the diligence of one of the most important whistleblowers of our time. A man who, in a series of interviews with the Observer, adds detail to the documents, laying bare the story of how Wachovia was at the centre of one of the world's biggest money-laundering operations.Martin Woods, a Liverpudlian in his mid-40s, joined the London office of Wachovia Bank in February 2005 as a senior anti-money laundering officer. He had previously served with the Metropolitan police drug squad. As a detective he joined the money-laundering investigation team of the National Crime Squad, where he worked on the British end of the Bank of New York money-laundering scandal in the late 1990s.Woods talks like a police officer Рin the best sense of the word: punctilious, exact, with a roguish humour, but moral at the core. He was an ideal appointment for any bank eager to operate a diligent and effective risk management policy against the lucrative scourge of high finance: laundering, knowing or otherwise, the vast proceeds of criminality, tax-evasion, and dealing in arms and drugs.
Woods had a police officer's eye and a police officer's instincts – not those of a banker. And this influenced not only his methods, but his mentality. I think that a lot of things matter more than money – and that marks you out in a culture which appears to prevail in many of the banks in the world,he says.Woods was set apart by his modus operandi. His speciality, he explains, was his application of a know your client, or KYC, policing strategy to identifying dirty money. KYC is a fundamental approach to anti-money laundering, going after tax evasion or counter-terrorist financing. Who are your clients? Is the documentation right? Good, responsible banking involved always knowing your customer and it still does.When he looked at Wachovia, the first thing Woods noticed was a deficiency in KYC information. And among his first reports to his superiors at the bank's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, were observations on a shortfall in KYC at Wachovia's operation in London, which he set about correcting, while at the same time implementing what was known as an enhanced transaction monitoring programme, gathering more information on clients whose money came through the bank's offices in the City, in sterling or euros. By August 2006, Woods had identified a number of suspicious transactions relating to casas de cambio customers in Mexico.Primarily, these involved deposits of traveller's cheques in euros. They had sequential numbers and deposited larger amounts of money than any innocent travelling person would need, with inadequate or no KYC information on them and what seemed to a trained eye to be dubious signatures. It was basic work, he says.They didn't answer the obvious questions: Is the transaction real, or does it look synthetic? Does the traveller's cheque meet the protocols? Is it all there, and if not, why not?
Woods discussed the matter with Wachovia's global head of anti-money laundering for correspondent banking, who believed the cheques could signify tax evasion. He then undertook what banks call a look back at previous transactions and saw fit to submit a series of SARs, or suspicious activity reports, to the authorities in the UK and his superiors in Charlotte, urging the blocking of named parties and large series of sequentially numbered traveller's cheques from Mexico. He issued a number of SARs in 2006, of which 50 related to the casas de cambio in Mexico. To his amazement, the response from Wachovia's Miami office, the centre for Latin American business, was anything but supportive – he felt it was quite the reverse.As it turned out, however, Woods was on the right track. Wachovia's business in Mexico was coming under closer and closer scrutiny by US federal law enforcement. Wachovia was issued with a number of subpoenas for information on its Mexican operation. Woods has subsequently been informed that Wachovia had six or seven thousand subpoenas. He says this was An absurd number. So at what point does someone at the highest level not get the feeling that something is very, very wrong? In April and May 2007, Wachovia – as a result of increasing interest and pressure from the US attorney's office – began to close its relationship with some of the casas de cambio. But rather than launch an internal investigation into Woods's alerts over Mexico, Woods claims Wachovia hung its own money-laundering expert out to dry. The records show that during 2007 Woods continued to submit more SARs related to the casas de cambio.
In July 2007, all of Wachovia's remaining 10 Mexican casa de cambio clients operating through London suddenly stopped doing so. Later in 2007, after the investigation of Wachovia was reported in the US financial media, the bank decided to end its remaining relationships with the Mexican casas de cambio globally. By this time, Woods says, he found his personal situation within the bank untenable; while the bank acted on one level to protect itself from the federal investigation into its shortcomings, on another, it rounded on the man who had been among the first to spot them.On 16 June Woods was told by Wachovia's head of compliance that his latest SAR need not have been filed, that he had no legal requirement to investigate an overseas case and no right of access to documents held overseas from Britain, even if they were held by Wachovia.Woods's life went into freefall. He went to hospital with a prolapsed disc, reported sick and was told by the bank that he not done so in the appropriate manner, as directed by the employees' handbook. He was off work for three weeks, returning in August 2007 to find a letter from the bank's compliance managing director, which was unrelenting in its tone and words of warning.The letter addressed itself to what the manager called specific examples of your failure to perform at an acceptable standard. Woods, on the edge of a breakdown, was put on sick leave by his GP; he was later given psychiatric treatment, enrolled on a stress management course and put on medication.Late in 2007, Woods attended a function at Scotland Yard where colleagues from the US were being entertained. There, he sought out a representative of the Drug Enforcement Administration and told him about the casas de cambio, the SARs and his employer's reaction. The Federal Reserve and officials of the office of comptroller of currency in Washington DC then spent a lot of time examining the SARs that had been sent by Woods to Charlotte from London.
They got back in touch with me a while afterwards and we began to put the pieces of the jigsaw together, says Woods. What they found was – as Costa says – the tip of the iceberg of what was happening to drug money in the banking industry, but at least it was visible and it had a name: Wachovia.In June 2005, the DEA, the criminal division of the Internal Revenue Service and the US attorney's office in southern Florida began investigating wire transfers from Mexico to the US. They were traced back to correspondent bank accounts held by casas de cambio at Wachovia. The CDC accounts were supervised and managed by a business unit of Wachovia in the bank's Miami offices.Through CDCs, said the court document, persons in Mexico can use hard currency and … wire transfer the value of that currency to US bank accounts to purchase items in the United States or other countries. The nature of the CDC business allows money launderers the opportunity to move drug dollars that are in Mexico into CDCs and ultimately into the US banking system.On numerous occasions, say the court papers, monies were deposited into a CDC by a drug-trafficking organisation. Using false identities, the CDC then wired that money through its Wachovia correspondent bank accounts for the purchase of airplanes for drug-trafficking organisations.The court settlement of 2010 would detail that nearly $13m went through correspondent bank accounts at Wachovia for the purchase of aircraft to be used in the illegal narcotics trade. From these aircraft, more than 20,000kg of cocaine were seized.All this occurred despite the fact that Wachovia's office was in Miami, designated by the US government as a high-intensity money laundering and related financial crime area, and a high-intensity drug trafficking area. Since the drug cartel war began in 2005, Mexico had been designated a high-risk source of money laundering.As early as 2004,the court settlement would read, Wachovia understood the risk that was associated with doing business with the Mexican CDCs. Wachovia was aware of the general industry warnings. As early as July 2005, Wachovia was aware that other large US banks were exiting the CDC business based on [anti-money laundering] concerns … despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in business.On 16 March 2010, Douglas Edwards, senior vice-president of Wachovia Bank, put his signature to page 10 of a 25-page settlement, in which the bank admitted its role as outlined by the prosecutors. On page 11, he signed again, as senior vice-president of Wells Fargo. The documents show Wachovia providing three services to 22 CDCs in Mexico: wire transfers, a bulk cash service and a pouch deposit service, to accept deposit items drawn on US banks, eg cheques and traveller's cheques, as spotted by Woods.
For the time period of 1 May 2004 through 31 May 2007, Wachovia processed at least $$373.6bn in CDCs, $4.7bn in bulk cash – a total of more than $378.3bn, a sum that dwarfs the budgets debated by US state and UK local authorities to provide services to citizens.The document gives a fascinating insight into how the laundering of drug money works. It details how investigators found readily identifiable evidence of red flags of large-scale money laundering. There were structured wire transfers whereby it was commonplace in the CDC accounts for round-number wire transfers to be made on the same day or in close succession, by the same wire senders, for the … same account.Over two days, 10 wire transfers by four individuals went though Wachovia for deposit into an aircraft broker's account. All of the transfers were in round numbers. None of the individuals of business that wired money had any connection to the aircraft or the entity that allegedly owned the aircraft. The investigation has further revealed that the identities of the individuals who sent the money were false and that the business was a shell entity. That plane was subsequently seized with approximately 2,000kg of cocaine on board.Many of the sequentially numbered traveller's cheques, of the kind dealt with by Woods, contained unusual markings or lacked any legible signature. Also, many of the CDCs that used Wachovia's bulk cash service sent significantly more cash to Wachovia than what Wachovia had expected. More specifically, many of the CDCs exceeded their monthly activity by at least 50%.
Recognising these red flags, the US attorney's office in Miami, the IRS and the DEA began investigating Wachovia, later joined by FinCEN, one of the US Treasury's agencies to fight money laundering, while the office of the comptroller of the currency carried out a parallel investigation. The violations they found were, says the document, serious and systemic and allowed certain Wachovia customers to launder millions of dollars of proceeds from the sale of illegal narcotics through Wachovia accounts over an extended time period. The investigation has identified that at least $110m in drug proceeds were funnelled through the CDC accounts held at Wachovia.The settlement concludes by discussing Wachovia's considerable co-operation and remedial actions since the prosecution was initiated, after the bank was bought by Wells Fargo. In consideration of Wachovia's remedial actions, concludes the prosecutor, the United States shall recommend to the court … that prosecution of Wachovia on the information filed … be deferred for a period of 12 months.But while the federal prosecution proceeded, Woods had remained out in the cold. On Christmas Eve 2008, his lawyers filed tribunal proceedings against Wachovia for bullying and detrimental treatment of a whistleblower. The case was settled in May 2009, by which time Woods felt as though he was the most toxic person in the bank. Wachovia agreed to pay an undisclosed amount, in return for which Woods left the bank and said he would not make public the terms of the settlement.After years of tribulation, Woods was finally formally vindicated, though not by Wachovia: a letter arrived from John Dugan, the comptroller of the currency in Washington DC, dated 19 March 2010 – three days after the settlement in Miami. Dugan said he was writing to personally recognise and express my appreciation for the role you played in the actions brought against Wachovia Bank for violations of the bank secrecy act … Not only did the information that you provided facilitate our investigation, but you demonstrated great personal courage and integrity by speaking up. Without the efforts of individuals like you, actions such as the one taken against Wachovia would not be possible.The so-called deferred prosecution detailed in the Miami document is a form of probation whereby if the bank abides by the law for a year, charges are dropped. So this March the bank was in the clear. The week that the deferred prosecution expired, a spokeswoman for Wells Fargo said the parent bank had no comment to make on the documentation pertaining to Woods's case, or his allegations. She added that there was no comment on Sloman's remarks to the court; a provision in the settlement stipulated Wachovia was not allowed to issue public statements that contradicted it.
But the settlement leaves a sour taste in many mouths – and certainly in Woods's. The deferred prosecution is part of this cop-out all round, he says. The regulatory authorities do not have to spend any more time on it, and they don't have to push it as far as a criminal trial. They just issue criminal proceedings, and settle. The law enforcement people do what they are supposed to do, but what's the point? All those people dealing with all that money from drug-trafficking and murder, and no one goes to jail? One of the foremost figures in the training of anti-money laundering officers is Robert Mazur, lead infiltrator for US law enforcement of the Colombian MedellÃn cartel during the epic prosecution and collapse of the BCCI banking business in 1991 (his story was made famous by his memoir, The Infiltrator, which became a movie).Mazur, whose firm Chase and Associates works closely with law enforcement agencies and trains officers for bank anti-money laundering, cast a keen eye over the case against Wachovia, and he says now that the only thing that will make the banks properly vigilant to what is happening is when they hear the rattle of handcuffs in the boardroom.Mazur said that a lot of the law enforcement people were disappointed to see a settlement between the administration and Wachovia.But I know there were external circumstances that worked to Wachovia's benefit, not least that the US banking system was on the edge of collapse.What concerns Mazur is that what law enforcement agencies and politicians hope to achieve against the cartels is limited, and falls short of the obvious attack the US could make in its war on drugs: go after the money. We're thinking way too small,Mazur says.I train law enforcement officers, thousands of them every year, and they say to me that if they tried to do half of what I did, they'd be arrested. But I tell them: You got to think big. The headlines you will be reading in seven years' time will be the result of the work you begin now. With BCCI, we had to spend two years setting it up, two years doing undercover work, and another two years getting it to trial. If they want to do something big, like go after the money, that's how long it takes.But Mazur warns: If you look at the career ladders of law enforcement, there's no incentive to go after the big money. People move every two to three years. The DEA is focused on drug trafficking rather than money laundering. You get a quicker result that way – they want to get the traffickers and seize their assets. But this is like treating a sick plant by cutting off a few branches – it just grows new ones. Going after the big money is cutting down the plant – it's a harder door to knock on, it's a longer haul, and it won't get you the short-term riches.
The office of the comptroller of the currency is still examining whether individuals in Wachovia are criminally liable. Sources at FinCEN say that a so-called look-back is in process, as directed by the settlement and agreed to by Wachovia, into the $378.4bn that was not directly associated with the aircraft purchases and cocaine hauls, but neither was it subject to the proper anti-laundering checks. A FinCEN source says that $20bn already examined appears to have suspicious origins. But this is just the beginning.Antonio Maria Costa, who was executive director of the UN's office on drugs and crime from May 2002 to August 2010, charts the history of the contamination of the global banking industry by drug and criminal money since his first initiatives to try to curb it from the European commission during the 1990s. The connection between organised crime and financial institutions started in the late 1970s, early 1980s,he says,when the mafia became globalised.Until then, criminal money had circulated largely in cash, with the authorities making the occasional, spectacular sting or haul. During Costa's time as director for economics and finance at the EC in Brussels, from 1987, inroads were made against penetration of banks by criminal laundering, and criminal money started moving back to cash, out of the financial institutions and banks. Then two things happened: the financial crisis in Russia, after the emergence of the Russian mafia, and the crises of 2003 and 2007-08.With these crises, says Costa,the banking sector was short of liquidity, the banks exposed themselves to the criminal syndicates, who had cash in hand.Costa questions the readiness of governments and their regulatory structures to challenge this large-scale corruption of the global economy: Government regulators showed what they were capable of when the issue suddenly changed to laundering money for terrorism Рon that, they suddenly became serious and changed their attitude.Hardly surprising, then, that Wachovia does not appear to be the end of the line. In August 2010, it emerged in quarterly disclosures by HSBC that the US justice department was seeking to fine it for anti-money laundering compliance problems reported to include dealings with Mexico.Wachovia had my r̩sum̩, they knew who I was,says Woods.But they did not want to know Рtheir attitude was, Why are you doing this? They should have been on my side, because they were compliance people, not commercial people. But really they were commercial people all along. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the biggest money-laundering scandal of our time.
These are the proceeds of murder and misery in Mexico, and of drugs sold around the world,he says.All the law enforcement people wanted to see this come to trial. But no one goes to jail. What does the settlement do to fight the cartels? Nothing – it doesn't make the job of law enforcement easier and it encourages the cartels and anyone who wants to make money by laundering their blood dollars. Where's the risk? There is none.Is it in the interest of the American people to encourage both the drug cartels and the banks in this way? Is it in the interest of the Mexican people? It's simple: if you don't see the correlation between the money laundering by banks and the 30,000 people killed in Mexico, you're missing the point.Woods feels unable to rest on his laurels. He tours the world for a consultancy he now runs, Hermes Forensic Solutions, counselling and speaking to banks on the dangers of laundering criminal money, and how to spot and stop it. New York and London, says Woods,have become the world's two biggest laundries of criminal and drug money, and offshore tax havens. Not the Cayman Islands, not the Isle of Man or Jersey. The big laundering is right through the City of London and Wall Street.After the Wachovia case, no one in the regulatory community has sat down with me and asked, What happened? or What can we do to avoid this happening to other banks? They are not interested. They are the same people who attack the whistleblowers and this is a position the [British] Financial Services Authority at least has adopted on legal advice: it has been advised that the confidentiality of banking and bankers takes primacy over the public information disclosure act. That is how the priorities work: secrecy first, public interest second.Meanwhile, the drug industry has two products: money and suffering. On one hand, you have massive profits and enrichment. On the other, you have massive suffering, misery and death. You cannot separate one from the other.What happened at Wachovia was symptomatic of the failure of the entire regulatory system to apply the kind of proper governance and adequate risk management which would have prevented not just the laundering of blood money, but the global crisis.

Government smuggling drugs ?
Well i just finished watching and reading up about the iran contra incident and mena incident and what i've found has given me sleepless nights. I found out that clinton as a governor of arkansas was running drug smuggling operations through mena airport from colombia. I also found out that in 1994 during the inquiry by the congress, when clinton was president, it was stalled and the investigation botched due to interference. I saw interviews of cops, former army black ops with photocopied documents showing their drug smuggling operations into mena, even transcripts of taped conversation.....My question is this: If clinton did this, what else has politicians done to us? Bush took us into illegal war. Obama expanded illegal war even war on drugs. So, wont we are agree that the war on drugs is a cover for top ranking officials to smuggle and sell drugs and make profits?? The only way to kick competition is to illegalize it right?

US Government Caught Smuggling Guns To Mexico Drug Cartels Posted by Alexander Higgins - April 16, 2011 at 12:49 am
The US Federal Government caught smuggling guns to Mexican drug cartels which are being used to murder US Border Patrol and other federal agents.My San Antonio Reports:Obama says he didn’t inform Mexico of U.S. gun smuggling operation because he didn’t know about it-Richard Dunham, Bureau Chief-Under fire for an operation that allowed smuggling of U.S. weapons across the nation’s border with Mexico, President Obama said in an interview that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the controversial Operation Fast and Furious.The Mexican government has complained that it didn’t know about the U.S. operation that allowed guns to illegally cross the southwestern border so they could track the weapons.
Obama told Univision‘s Jorge Ramos that President Felipe Calderon wasn’t informed of the operation because he — the president of the United States — wasn’t informed either. When asked whether he knew of the weapon smuggling plan, Obama responded that it is a pretty big government with a lot of moving parts.The investigation into the program comes after it was connected to two weapons that were found at the scene of a border shootout that killed U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December. Likewise, a gun smuggled from the U.S. were used to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent Jamie Zapata, but it has not been determined if it was part of Fast and Furious.When President Calderon came to visit Washington recently, the two presidents came together on a policy to stop drug and weapon smuggling across the border.Our policy is to ram up the interdiction of guns flowing south because that’s contributing to some of the security problems that are taking place in Mexico and what we’re doing is trying to build the kind of cooperation between Mexico and the United States that we haven’t seen before,Obama told Univision.The controversial operation was the subject of a CBS News Investigation that reported ATF was allowing traffickers to bring weapons into Mexico in order to track them rather than arresting the traffickers. Obama said Holder has assigned an inspector general to investigate what happened, because he does not know who authorized the operation.Letting guns walk is not something that is acceptable,Holder said during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. Guns are different than drugs or money when we are trying to follow their trail. That is not acceptable.

REVELATION 18:23
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries (DRUGS) were all nations deceived.
REVELATION 9:21
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries (DRUGS), nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
THE CANADIAN CONNECTION: Drugs,Money Laundering and Canadian Banks
Recently, media attention has focused on Mexico's drug traffickers and the threat they pose to Canada and the United States. This follows revelations that General Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, the head of Mexico's National Institute for Combatting Drugs, has been in the pay of Amado Carrillo Fuentes, Mexico's most wanted drug lord, for the last seven years.Mexico is thus seen as a country on the verge of being taken over by drug cartels which have thoroughly corrupted the state. After conquering Mexico, the cartels will presumably corrupt North American institutions. However, on the issue of drugs, it is the North which is corrupting the South, not the other way around.To begin with, the Mexican cartels are fulfilling the demands of millions of North American drug users. As The Economist magazine puts it: the iron law of the market is that demand breeds supply.Northern economic policies towards the South encourage drug trafficking by debilitating their legal economies. Northern financial institutions benefit far more from drug money than any Southern trafficker.Structural Adjustment Programs imposed on Peru by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (both of which are U.S.-dominated) pushed four million people into extreme poverty, almost halved real wages, and cut those with adequate employment to 15 percent of the work-force. Consequently, there has been a forced migration of impoverished peasants and urban unemployed into coca growing as an alternative to starvation.In 1991, in exchange for $100 million from the United States, Peru put in place the IMF structural adjustment clause opening its markets to U.S. corn. As a result, by 1995, corn cultivation had fallen tenfold and coca production had grown by 50 percent.
MONEY LAUNDERING
Narco-corruption in North America is most significantly manifested in money laundering. Ninety-one percent of the $197 billion spent on cocaine in the U.S. stays there, and American banks launder $100 billion of drug money every year. Those identified as money laundering conduits include the Bank of Boston, Republic National Bank of New York, Landmark First National Bank, Great American Bank, People's Liberty Bank and Trust Co. of Kentucky, and Riggs National Bank of Washington.Citibank helped Raul Salinas (the brother of former Mexican president Carlos Salinas) move millions of dollars out of Mexico into secret Swiss bank accounts under false names. Swiss authorities have declared that this money (which totals $100 million) consists of payments from drug traffickers to Salinas, and are preparing to seize it.In 1993, two directors at the American Express Bank International (AEBI) in Beverly Hills, California wired drug money from Juan Garcia Abrego - the Mexican cocaine baron arrested and extradited to the United States in January 1996 - from the First City Texas Bank in McAllen, Texas to accounts in the Manhattan branch of Banker's Trust of New York. AEBI then invested the money in London, Switzerland, Mexico and Houston.In addition, Manufacturers Hanover, Chase Manhattan Bank, Chemical Bank and Irving Trust have admitted not reporting money transfers to the U.S. government (the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 requires that all transactions over $10,000 be reported). The Bank of America has been fined $4.75 million for not revealing transfers of more than $12 billion.The U.S. Treasury Department has penalized 25 banks for failure to report and in April 1990, hundreds of accounts in 173 banks were frozen by court order. The accounts were suspected of hiding almost $400 million in Colombian drug profits.Investment houses such as Merrill Lynch and EF Hutton have also handled millions of dollars in drug money (putting it in the New York bullion market).
THE CANADIAN CONNECTION
In September 1989, it was revealed that Canadian banks have been laundering drug money on an enormous scale. Notorious in this regard is the Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) which has laundered $100 million in drug money through its Miami and Caribbean branches. The money was sent to the BNS' Bahamas and Cayman Islands branches from Miami and then wired to its New York office where the funds could be withdrawn by the original depositors.In 1981 and 1983, U.S. authorities subpoenaed records of the Bahamas and Cayman Islands BNS branches in connection with two investigations of drug trafficking. The bank gave up the documents only after being fined $1.8 million for delaying their release. BNS asked no questions about large cash deposits, ignored normal banking practices, and hid its depositor's identities by keeping minimal records. Also, BNS employees in the Caribbean were given thousands of dollars in tips by their clients for their understanding.Similarly, $726,000 in drug profits has been deposited in the Royal Bank of Canada. In 1989 the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) identified the Swiss Bank Corporation (Canada) as a repository of $14 million in drug money.Sales of narcotics generate approximately $10 billion a year in Canada and most of this is washed through Canadian banks and other legitimate businesses. While money laundering is a crime in Canada, just as it is in the U.S., bank reporting requirements in Canada are voluntary. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are included in the DEA's list of the 18 most prominent money laundering centres in the world.
NARCO-CORRUPTION
Narco-corruption in North America is widespread amongst public officials as well. Sixty policemen in Miami have been identified as corrupt and 80 lawmen and public officials in Georgia have been charged with serious offenses such as accepting bribes. A Georgia state senator promised to protect drug smugglers if they contributed to his campaign for the governorship.Thirty-two U.S. law enforcement officials including Customs agents have been indicted for border-related corruption which is systemic and pervasive according to the FBI. Two-thirds of the cocaine coming into the U.S. does so at official entry points along the Mexican frontier.In Miami, three FBI agents and one from Customs were charged with stealing $200,000 from drug dealers in 1994. A former senior Justice Department official and two former prosecutors were indicted in June 1995 on charges of helping Colombian drug barons in a criminal conspiracy.Kendall Coffey, the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, stated that the latter case showed the degree to which cocaine profits have corrupted the legal system. When the FBI tried to prosecute World Finance Corporation (an international lending company) for laundering drug money, the Bureau was reportedly informed by an Internal Revenue Service agent that WFC was a legitimate company: if it dealt in drug money so much the better; narcotics money that stayed in the U.S. was good for the economy.Published in:Briarpatch, July/August 1997-Americas Update, September/October 1996-The Foundation, April 1997-Prison News Service, Spring 1997

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters PF Louis Natural News February 1, 2012http://www.prisonplanet.com/drug-war-hypocrisy-drug-traffickings-big-money-benefits-big-brother-and-corrupt-banksters.html
The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, No, we can’t compete with the government.Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?
One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view
The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined Operation Mockingbird by Deborah Davis in her bookKatherine the Great.Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, theSan Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.Webb retaliated by having his bookDark Alliancepublished and making theNY Timesbest seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news,albeit briefly.Remember the movie Air America? It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.
Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new
When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the French Connection for heroin traffic.But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s old money families.
Among the familiar family names, according toWikipedia(source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.Sources for this article include:

How a big US bank laundered billions from Mexico's murderous drug gangs-As the violence spread, billions of dollars of cartel cash began to seep into the global financial system. But a special investigation by the Observer reveals how the increasingly frantic warnings of one London whistleblower were ignored Ed Vulliamy The Observer, Sunday 3 April 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoT_5Txwp5w
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/04/wachovia-paid-trivial-fine-for-nearly-400-billion-of-drug-related-money-laundering.html
On 10 April 2006, a DC-9 jet landed in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, on the Gulf of Mexico, as the sun was setting. Mexican soldiers, waiting to intercept it, found 128 cases packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100m. But something else – more important and far-reaching – was discovered in the paper trail behind the purchase of the plane by the Sinaloa narco-trafficking cartel.During a 22-month investigation by agents from the US Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and others, it emerged that the cocaine smugglers had bought the plane with money they had laundered through one of the biggest banks in the United States: Wachovia, now part of the giant Wells Fargo.The authorities uncovered billions of dollars in wire transfers, traveller's cheques and cash shipments through Mexican exchanges into Wachovia accounts. Wachovia was put under immediate investigation for failing to maintain an effective anti-money laundering programme. Of special significance was that the period concerned began in 2004, which coincided with the first escalation of violence along the US-Mexico border that ignited the current drugs war.
Criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia, though not against any individual, but the case never came to court. In March 2010, Wachovia settled the biggest action brought under the US bank secrecy act, through the US district court in Miami. Now that the year's deferred prosecution has expired, the bank is in effect in the clear. It paid federal authorities $110m in forfeiture, for allowing transactions later proved to be connected to drug smuggling, and incurred a $50m fine for failing to monitor cash used to ship 22 tons of cocaine.More shocking, and more important, the bank was sanctioned for failing to apply the proper anti-laundering strictures to the transfer of $378.4bn – a sum equivalent to one-third of Mexico's gross national product – into dollar accounts from so-called casas de cambio (CDCs) in Mexico, currency exchange houses with which the bank did business.Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations, said Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor. Yet the total fine was less than 2% of the bank's $12.3bn profit for 2009. On 24 March 2010, Wells Fargo stock traded at $30.86 – up 1% on the week of the court settlement.The conclusion to the case was only the tip of an iceberg, demonstrating the role of the legal banking sector in swilling hundreds of billions of dollars – the blood money from the murderous drug trade in Mexico and other places in the world – around their global operations, now bailed out by the taxpayer.At the height of the 2008 banking crisis, Antonio Maria Costa, then head of the United Nations office on drugs and crime, said he had evidence to suggest the proceeds from drugs and crime were the only liquid investment capital available to banks on the brink of collapse. Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated from the drugs trade, he said.There were signs that some banks were rescued that way.
Wachovia was acquired by Wells Fargo during the 2008 crash, just as Wells Fargo became a beneficiary of $25bn in taxpayers' money. Wachovia's prosecutors were clear, however, that there was no suggestion Wells Fargo had behaved improperly; it had co-operated fully with the investigation. Mexico is the US's third largest international trading partner and Wachovia was understandably interested in this volume of legitimate trade.Jos̩ Luis Marmolejo, who prosecuted those running one of the casas de cambio at the Mexican end, said: Wachovia handled all the transfers. They never reported any as suspicious.As early as 2004, Wachovia understood the risk, the bank admitted in the statement of settlement with the federal government, but, despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in the business. There is, of course, the legitimate use of CDCs as a way into the Hispanic market. In 2005 the World Bank said that Mexico was receiving $8.1bn in remittances.During research into the Wachovia Mexican case, the Observer obtained documents previously provided to financial regulators. It emerged that the alarm that was ignored came from, among other places, London, as a result of the diligence of one of the most important whistleblowers of our time. A man who, in a series of interviews with the Observer, adds detail to the documents, laying bare the story of how Wachovia was at the centre of one of the world's biggest money-laundering operations.Martin Woods, a Liverpudlian in his mid-40s, joined the London office of Wachovia Bank in February 2005 as a senior anti-money laundering officer. He had previously served with the Metropolitan police drug squad. As a detective he joined the money-laundering investigation team of the National Crime Squad, where he worked on the British end of the Bank of New York money-laundering scandal in the late 1990s.Woods talks like a police officer Рin the best sense of the word: punctilious, exact, with a roguish humour, but moral at the core. He was an ideal appointment for any bank eager to operate a diligent and effective risk management policy against the lucrative scourge of high finance: laundering, knowing or otherwise, the vast proceeds of criminality, tax-evasion, and dealing in arms and drugs.
Woods had a police officer's eye and a police officer's instincts – not those of a banker. And this influenced not only his methods, but his mentality. I think that a lot of things matter more than money – and that marks you out in a culture which appears to prevail in many of the banks in the world,he says.Woods was set apart by his modus operandi. His speciality, he explains, was his application of a know your client, or KYC, policing strategy to identifying dirty money. KYC is a fundamental approach to anti-money laundering, going after tax evasion or counter-terrorist financing. Who are your clients? Is the documentation right? Good, responsible banking involved always knowing your customer and it still does.When he looked at Wachovia, the first thing Woods noticed was a deficiency in KYC information. And among his first reports to his superiors at the bank's headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, were observations on a shortfall in KYC at Wachovia's operation in London, which he set about correcting, while at the same time implementing what was known as an enhanced transaction monitoring programme, gathering more information on clients whose money came through the bank's offices in the City, in sterling or euros. By August 2006, Woods had identified a number of suspicious transactions relating to casas de cambio customers in Mexico.Primarily, these involved deposits of traveller's cheques in euros. They had sequential numbers and deposited larger amounts of money than any innocent travelling person would need, with inadequate or no KYC information on them and what seemed to a trained eye to be dubious signatures. It was basic work, he says.They didn't answer the obvious questions: Is the transaction real, or does it look synthetic? Does the traveller's cheque meet the protocols? Is it all there, and if not, why not?
Woods discussed the matter with Wachovia's global head of anti-money laundering for correspondent banking, who believed the cheques could signify tax evasion. He then undertook what banks call a look back at previous transactions and saw fit to submit a series of SARs, or suspicious activity reports, to the authorities in the UK and his superiors in Charlotte, urging the blocking of named parties and large series of sequentially numbered traveller's cheques from Mexico. He issued a number of SARs in 2006, of which 50 related to the casas de cambio in Mexico. To his amazement, the response from Wachovia's Miami office, the centre for Latin American business, was anything but supportive – he felt it was quite the reverse.As it turned out, however, Woods was on the right track. Wachovia's business in Mexico was coming under closer and closer scrutiny by US federal law enforcement. Wachovia was issued with a number of subpoenas for information on its Mexican operation. Woods has subsequently been informed that Wachovia had six or seven thousand subpoenas. He says this was An absurd number. So at what point does someone at the highest level not get the feeling that something is very, very wrong? In April and May 2007, Wachovia – as a result of increasing interest and pressure from the US attorney's office – began to close its relationship with some of the casas de cambio. But rather than launch an internal investigation into Woods's alerts over Mexico, Woods claims Wachovia hung its own money-laundering expert out to dry. The records show that during 2007 Woods continued to submit more SARs related to the casas de cambio.
In July 2007, all of Wachovia's remaining 10 Mexican casa de cambio clients operating through London suddenly stopped doing so. Later in 2007, after the investigation of Wachovia was reported in the US financial media, the bank decided to end its remaining relationships with the Mexican casas de cambio globally. By this time, Woods says, he found his personal situation within the bank untenable; while the bank acted on one level to protect itself from the federal investigation into its shortcomings, on another, it rounded on the man who had been among the first to spot them.On 16 June Woods was told by Wachovia's head of compliance that his latest SAR need not have been filed, that he had no legal requirement to investigate an overseas case and no right of access to documents held overseas from Britain, even if they were held by Wachovia.Woods's life went into freefall. He went to hospital with a prolapsed disc, reported sick and was told by the bank that he not done so in the appropriate manner, as directed by the employees' handbook. He was off work for three weeks, returning in August 2007 to find a letter from the bank's compliance managing director, which was unrelenting in its tone and words of warning.The letter addressed itself to what the manager called specific examples of your failure to perform at an acceptable standard. Woods, on the edge of a breakdown, was put on sick leave by his GP; he was later given psychiatric treatment, enrolled on a stress management course and put on medication.Late in 2007, Woods attended a function at Scotland Yard where colleagues from the US were being entertained. There, he sought out a representative of the Drug Enforcement Administration and told him about the casas de cambio, the SARs and his employer's reaction. The Federal Reserve and officials of the office of comptroller of currency in Washington DC then spent a lot of time examining the SARs that had been sent by Woods to Charlotte from London.
They got back in touch with me a while afterwards and we began to put the pieces of the jigsaw together, says Woods. What they found was – as Costa says – the tip of the iceberg of what was happening to drug money in the banking industry, but at least it was visible and it had a name: Wachovia.In June 2005, the DEA, the criminal division of the Internal Revenue Service and the US attorney's office in southern Florida began investigating wire transfers from Mexico to the US. They were traced back to correspondent bank accounts held by casas de cambio at Wachovia. The CDC accounts were supervised and managed by a business unit of Wachovia in the bank's Miami offices.Through CDCs, said the court document, persons in Mexico can use hard currency and … wire transfer the value of that currency to US bank accounts to purchase items in the United States or other countries. The nature of the CDC business allows money launderers the opportunity to move drug dollars that are in Mexico into CDCs and ultimately into the US banking system.On numerous occasions, say the court papers, monies were deposited into a CDC by a drug-trafficking organisation. Using false identities, the CDC then wired that money through its Wachovia correspondent bank accounts for the purchase of airplanes for drug-trafficking organisations.The court settlement of 2010 would detail that nearly $13m went through correspondent bank accounts at Wachovia for the purchase of aircraft to be used in the illegal narcotics trade. From these aircraft, more than 20,000kg of cocaine were seized.All this occurred despite the fact that Wachovia's office was in Miami, designated by the US government as a high-intensity money laundering and related financial crime area, and a high-intensity drug trafficking area. Since the drug cartel war began in 2005, Mexico had been designated a high-risk source of money laundering.As early as 2004,the court settlement would read, Wachovia understood the risk that was associated with doing business with the Mexican CDCs. Wachovia was aware of the general industry warnings. As early as July 2005, Wachovia was aware that other large US banks were exiting the CDC business based on [anti-money laundering] concerns … despite these warnings, Wachovia remained in business.On 16 March 2010, Douglas Edwards, senior vice-president of Wachovia Bank, put his signature to page 10 of a 25-page settlement, in which the bank admitted its role as outlined by the prosecutors. On page 11, he signed again, as senior vice-president of Wells Fargo. The documents show Wachovia providing three services to 22 CDCs in Mexico: wire transfers, a bulk cash service and a pouch deposit service, to accept deposit items drawn on US banks, eg cheques and traveller's cheques, as spotted by Woods.
For the time period of 1 May 2004 through 31 May 2007, Wachovia processed at least $$373.6bn in CDCs, $4.7bn in bulk cash – a total of more than $378.3bn, a sum that dwarfs the budgets debated by US state and UK local authorities to provide services to citizens.The document gives a fascinating insight into how the laundering of drug money works. It details how investigators found readily identifiable evidence of red flags of large-scale money laundering. There were structured wire transfers whereby it was commonplace in the CDC accounts for round-number wire transfers to be made on the same day or in close succession, by the same wire senders, for the … same account.Over two days, 10 wire transfers by four individuals went though Wachovia for deposit into an aircraft broker's account. All of the transfers were in round numbers. None of the individuals of business that wired money had any connection to the aircraft or the entity that allegedly owned the aircraft. The investigation has further revealed that the identities of the individuals who sent the money were false and that the business was a shell entity. That plane was subsequently seized with approximately 2,000kg of cocaine on board.Many of the sequentially numbered traveller's cheques, of the kind dealt with by Woods, contained unusual markings or lacked any legible signature. Also, many of the CDCs that used Wachovia's bulk cash service sent significantly more cash to Wachovia than what Wachovia had expected. More specifically, many of the CDCs exceeded their monthly activity by at least 50%.
Recognising these red flags, the US attorney's office in Miami, the IRS and the DEA began investigating Wachovia, later joined by FinCEN, one of the US Treasury's agencies to fight money laundering, while the office of the comptroller of the currency carried out a parallel investigation. The violations they found were, says the document, serious and systemic and allowed certain Wachovia customers to launder millions of dollars of proceeds from the sale of illegal narcotics through Wachovia accounts over an extended time period. The investigation has identified that at least $110m in drug proceeds were funnelled through the CDC accounts held at Wachovia.The settlement concludes by discussing Wachovia's considerable co-operation and remedial actions since the prosecution was initiated, after the bank was bought by Wells Fargo. In consideration of Wachovia's remedial actions, concludes the prosecutor, the United States shall recommend to the court … that prosecution of Wachovia on the information filed … be deferred for a period of 12 months.But while the federal prosecution proceeded, Woods had remained out in the cold. On Christmas Eve 2008, his lawyers filed tribunal proceedings against Wachovia for bullying and detrimental treatment of a whistleblower. The case was settled in May 2009, by which time Woods felt as though he was the most toxic person in the bank. Wachovia agreed to pay an undisclosed amount, in return for which Woods left the bank and said he would not make public the terms of the settlement.After years of tribulation, Woods was finally formally vindicated, though not by Wachovia: a letter arrived from John Dugan, the comptroller of the currency in Washington DC, dated 19 March 2010 – three days after the settlement in Miami. Dugan said he was writing to personally recognise and express my appreciation for the role you played in the actions brought against Wachovia Bank for violations of the bank secrecy act … Not only did the information that you provided facilitate our investigation, but you demonstrated great personal courage and integrity by speaking up. Without the efforts of individuals like you, actions such as the one taken against Wachovia would not be possible.The so-called deferred prosecution detailed in the Miami document is a form of probation whereby if the bank abides by the law for a year, charges are dropped. So this March the bank was in the clear. The week that the deferred prosecution expired, a spokeswoman for Wells Fargo said the parent bank had no comment to make on the documentation pertaining to Woods's case, or his allegations. She added that there was no comment on Sloman's remarks to the court; a provision in the settlement stipulated Wachovia was not allowed to issue public statements that contradicted it.
But the settlement leaves a sour taste in many mouths – and certainly in Woods's. The deferred prosecution is part of this cop-out all round, he says. The regulatory authorities do not have to spend any more time on it, and they don't have to push it as far as a criminal trial. They just issue criminal proceedings, and settle. The law enforcement people do what they are supposed to do, but what's the point? All those people dealing with all that money from drug-trafficking and murder, and no one goes to jail? One of the foremost figures in the training of anti-money laundering officers is Robert Mazur, lead infiltrator for US law enforcement of the Colombian MedellÃn cartel during the epic prosecution and collapse of the BCCI banking business in 1991 (his story was made famous by his memoir, The Infiltrator, which became a movie).Mazur, whose firm Chase and Associates works closely with law enforcement agencies and trains officers for bank anti-money laundering, cast a keen eye over the case against Wachovia, and he says now that the only thing that will make the banks properly vigilant to what is happening is when they hear the rattle of handcuffs in the boardroom.Mazur said that a lot of the law enforcement people were disappointed to see a settlement between the administration and Wachovia.But I know there were external circumstances that worked to Wachovia's benefit, not least that the US banking system was on the edge of collapse.What concerns Mazur is that what law enforcement agencies and politicians hope to achieve against the cartels is limited, and falls short of the obvious attack the US could make in its war on drugs: go after the money. We're thinking way too small,Mazur says.I train law enforcement officers, thousands of them every year, and they say to me that if they tried to do half of what I did, they'd be arrested. But I tell them: You got to think big. The headlines you will be reading in seven years' time will be the result of the work you begin now. With BCCI, we had to spend two years setting it up, two years doing undercover work, and another two years getting it to trial. If they want to do something big, like go after the money, that's how long it takes.But Mazur warns: If you look at the career ladders of law enforcement, there's no incentive to go after the big money. People move every two to three years. The DEA is focused on drug trafficking rather than money laundering. You get a quicker result that way – they want to get the traffickers and seize their assets. But this is like treating a sick plant by cutting off a few branches – it just grows new ones. Going after the big money is cutting down the plant – it's a harder door to knock on, it's a longer haul, and it won't get you the short-term riches.
The office of the comptroller of the currency is still examining whether individuals in Wachovia are criminally liable. Sources at FinCEN say that a so-called look-back is in process, as directed by the settlement and agreed to by Wachovia, into the $378.4bn that was not directly associated with the aircraft purchases and cocaine hauls, but neither was it subject to the proper anti-laundering checks. A FinCEN source says that $20bn already examined appears to have suspicious origins. But this is just the beginning.Antonio Maria Costa, who was executive director of the UN's office on drugs and crime from May 2002 to August 2010, charts the history of the contamination of the global banking industry by drug and criminal money since his first initiatives to try to curb it from the European commission during the 1990s. The connection between organised crime and financial institutions started in the late 1970s, early 1980s,he says,when the mafia became globalised.Until then, criminal money had circulated largely in cash, with the authorities making the occasional, spectacular sting or haul. During Costa's time as director for economics and finance at the EC in Brussels, from 1987, inroads were made against penetration of banks by criminal laundering, and criminal money started moving back to cash, out of the financial institutions and banks. Then two things happened: the financial crisis in Russia, after the emergence of the Russian mafia, and the crises of 2003 and 2007-08.With these crises, says Costa,the banking sector was short of liquidity, the banks exposed themselves to the criminal syndicates, who had cash in hand.Costa questions the readiness of governments and their regulatory structures to challenge this large-scale corruption of the global economy: Government regulators showed what they were capable of when the issue suddenly changed to laundering money for terrorism Рon that, they suddenly became serious and changed their attitude.Hardly surprising, then, that Wachovia does not appear to be the end of the line. In August 2010, it emerged in quarterly disclosures by HSBC that the US justice department was seeking to fine it for anti-money laundering compliance problems reported to include dealings with Mexico.Wachovia had my r̩sum̩, they knew who I was,says Woods.But they did not want to know Рtheir attitude was, Why are you doing this? They should have been on my side, because they were compliance people, not commercial people. But really they were commercial people all along. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the biggest money-laundering scandal of our time.
These are the proceeds of murder and misery in Mexico, and of drugs sold around the world,he says.All the law enforcement people wanted to see this come to trial. But no one goes to jail. What does the settlement do to fight the cartels? Nothing – it doesn't make the job of law enforcement easier and it encourages the cartels and anyone who wants to make money by laundering their blood dollars. Where's the risk? There is none.Is it in the interest of the American people to encourage both the drug cartels and the banks in this way? Is it in the interest of the Mexican people? It's simple: if you don't see the correlation between the money laundering by banks and the 30,000 people killed in Mexico, you're missing the point.Woods feels unable to rest on his laurels. He tours the world for a consultancy he now runs, Hermes Forensic Solutions, counselling and speaking to banks on the dangers of laundering criminal money, and how to spot and stop it. New York and London, says Woods,have become the world's two biggest laundries of criminal and drug money, and offshore tax havens. Not the Cayman Islands, not the Isle of Man or Jersey. The big laundering is right through the City of London and Wall Street.After the Wachovia case, no one in the regulatory community has sat down with me and asked, What happened? or What can we do to avoid this happening to other banks? They are not interested. They are the same people who attack the whistleblowers and this is a position the [British] Financial Services Authority at least has adopted on legal advice: it has been advised that the confidentiality of banking and bankers takes primacy over the public information disclosure act. That is how the priorities work: secrecy first, public interest second.Meanwhile, the drug industry has two products: money and suffering. On one hand, you have massive profits and enrichment. On the other, you have massive suffering, misery and death. You cannot separate one from the other.What happened at Wachovia was symptomatic of the failure of the entire regulatory system to apply the kind of proper governance and adequate risk management which would have prevented not just the laundering of blood money, but the global crisis.

Government smuggling drugs ?
Well i just finished watching and reading up about the iran contra incident and mena incident and what i've found has given me sleepless nights. I found out that clinton as a governor of arkansas was running drug smuggling operations through mena airport from colombia. I also found out that in 1994 during the inquiry by the congress, when clinton was president, it was stalled and the investigation botched due to interference. I saw interviews of cops, former army black ops with photocopied documents showing their drug smuggling operations into mena, even transcripts of taped conversation.....My question is this: If clinton did this, what else has politicians done to us? Bush took us into illegal war. Obama expanded illegal war even war on drugs. So, wont we are agree that the war on drugs is a cover for top ranking officials to smuggle and sell drugs and make profits?? The only way to kick competition is to illegalize it right?

US Government Caught Smuggling Guns To Mexico Drug Cartels Posted by Alexander Higgins - April 16, 2011 at 12:49 am
The US Federal Government caught smuggling guns to Mexican drug cartels which are being used to murder US Border Patrol and other federal agents.My San Antonio Reports:Obama says he didn’t inform Mexico of U.S. gun smuggling operation because he didn’t know about it-Richard Dunham, Bureau Chief-Under fire for an operation that allowed smuggling of U.S. weapons across the nation’s border with Mexico, President Obama said in an interview that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the controversial Operation Fast and Furious.The Mexican government has complained that it didn’t know about the U.S. operation that allowed guns to illegally cross the southwestern border so they could track the weapons.
Obama told Univision‘s Jorge Ramos that President Felipe Calderon wasn’t informed of the operation because he — the president of the United States — wasn’t informed either. When asked whether he knew of the weapon smuggling plan, Obama responded that it is a pretty big government with a lot of moving parts.The investigation into the program comes after it was connected to two weapons that were found at the scene of a border shootout that killed U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December. Likewise, a gun smuggled from the U.S. were used to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent Jamie Zapata, but it has not been determined if it was part of Fast and Furious.When President Calderon came to visit Washington recently, the two presidents came together on a policy to stop drug and weapon smuggling across the border.Our policy is to ram up the interdiction of guns flowing south because that’s contributing to some of the security problems that are taking place in Mexico and what we’re doing is trying to build the kind of cooperation between Mexico and the United States that we haven’t seen before,Obama told Univision.The controversial operation was the subject of a CBS News Investigation that reported ATF was allowing traffickers to bring weapons into Mexico in order to track them rather than arresting the traffickers. Obama said Holder has assigned an inspector general to investigate what happened, because he does not know who authorized the operation.Letting guns walk is not something that is acceptable,Holder said during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. Guns are different than drugs or money when we are trying to follow their trail. That is not acceptable.
