Panama's Supreme Court took a decision the 17th of this month in a libel case brought by HSBC bank USA/Panama against a Canadian expatriate that has far reaching consequences for the country's (in)famous banking and corporate secrecy which has made it a money laundering and tax dodging haven over the years.

The decision will hit hard in that - substantial - part of the offshore finance business where secrecy is essential for survival: (drug) money laundering and (corporate) tax evasion. Investigations and arrests of narco kingpins invariably lead to Panama where drug trade profits are laundered and then hidden in numerous corporate structures. The real estate construction boom thrives on dirty money, and the DEA described the industry as follows:

 

Panama is one of the world's largest offshore financial centers. Panama's offshore financial sector includes international business companies, offshore banks, captive insurance companies and fiduciary companies. Approximately 34,800 new offshore corporations were registered in Panama in 2007, as of October 2007. As of June 2007, Panamas had 85 commercial banks: 2 official banks, 14 local banks of general license, 26 foreign banks of general license, 34 banks of international license, and nine representative offices. Shell companies are permitted and have been used by a wide range of criminal groups around the world. Bearer shares are permitted for corporations and nominee directors and trustees as are allowed by law. The Government of Panama (GOP) regulates casinos, but does not regulate Internet gaming sites.

 

Panama's banking and money laundering industry is not, as one may gather from the frowned comments of the State Department, a Panamanian invention: Turning Panama into a tropical version of Switzerland has been an entirely US affair. Soon after the military coup of 1968, Nelson Rockefeller visited dictator Omar Torrijos. Rockefeller's position as a special envoy of the Nixon government neatly coincided with the interest of the Chase Manhattan Bank - owned by the Rockefellers - to establish a financial center in Panama with firm banking secrecy and no other rules to speak of whatsoever. Upon writing and implementing the necessary laws - a convieniently easy process under a dictatorship - a plethora of other banks set up shop in Panama, heaps of lawyers saw opportunities as well, and quickly the place bustled with legitimate and illegitimate financial activity.

HOW IT WORKS, AND WHAT HAPPENED

It's a common way to protect assets against frivolous lawsuits, creditors and the tax man - or for people who just value their financial privacy: Funds are put in a "Private Interest Foundation" which has no apparent relation with the original owner other than that he can open and manage bank accounts in its name. Panama corporations, which allow for bearer shares to be issued, are also frequently used for this purpose. Or a combination of both. In Panama, where using criminal fraud complaints and asset seizures as a tool to resolve common business disputes is an essential part of the business climate, these asset protection structures are widely touted by banks, the many law firms and other financial services outfits as "safe" and even "bullet proof". That, however, is no longer the case.

Peter Gordon, a wealthy Canadian retiree, moved his money to a foundation and then the foundation opened accounts with HSBC bank Panama. However, Gordon was unhappy with the services of that bank, closed the accounts and wired the foundation's funds to another Panamanian bank. He then posted a number of messages criticizing HSBC's service and excessive fees on a Yahoo forum for expatriates in Panama.

These messages very much upset one Joseph Salterio, manager of HSBC Panama. Together with some friends, American dentist Charly Garcia (who is also president of the American Society), insurance broker Kevin Bradley (who sells health insurance to expatriates for an HSBC-owned company) and later retired air force man Donald Winner (who is now a PR man for underworld figures), a plan was hatched to get even and make some money in the process. HSBC Panama/USA sued Gordon for alleged damages for $5 million, and then proceeded to have all his assets in Panama sequestered. It made the front page in the local press.

In itself, the case wouldn't be worth mentioning as it is typical for the wonderful Panamanian business and expat scene where this type of cloak and dagger, bickering and backstabbing is simply part of daily life. However, what makes it important is that not just Gordon's assets were sequestered, but those of the supposedly "bullet proof" foundation as well. The foundation's lawyers sought remedies in the courts, but now the Supreme Court has decided that indeed such foundations may be sequestered even when they have formally nothing to do with a person who is accused of libel.

This will have many consequences that the HSBC gang and the court haven't thought of. Trust in Panama's asset protection industry had already suffered from these antics and the Supreme Court decision will no doubt shy away more money being deposited in Panama; depositors look for privacy, not high profile court cases and frivolous asset seizures by rogue bankers. It was already extremely easy to sequester anyone's possessions in Panama - dream up a case, post a bond, off you go - and now one may include those (anonymously) held by corporations and foundations. This doesn't just hurt legitimate business or innocent retirees. It's the nightmare of every money launderer or con man who thought his ill-gotten gains were safe under the corporate veil: They no longer are.

Yahoo Gives Up Reporter's Email To The Chinese Government

Sunday, September 11th, 2005

Yahoo provided Chinese government Catching-the-Shrimp information
about a personal email of a journalist Shi Tao
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao , who was later convicted under state
secrecy laws and sentenced to 10 years in prison. When asked about the
cases at the internet forum in the eastern Chinese resort city Yahoo's
co founder Jerry Yang have-a-nice-weekend-yahoos Apr-4-2008 said that
we was unable discuss the details of the case.

Follow the e-mails

The discovery of a previously unknown treasure chest of e-mails buried
by the Bush administration may prove to be as informative as Nixon's
secret White House tapes.

By Sidney Blumenthal...........

Richard Nixon and George W. Bush both invoked secrecy for national
security. Both insisted war -- the war in Vietnam, the war on terror
-- justified impunity. And both offered the reason of secrecy to cover
political power grabs.

In Watergate, "Deep Throat" counseled that the royal road to the
scandal's source was to "follow the money." In the proliferating
scandals of the Bush presidency, Congress is searching down a trail of
records that did not exist in the time of Nixon: Follow the e-mails.

The discovery of a hitherto unknown treasure-trove of e-mails buried
by the Bush White House may prove to be as informative as Nixon's
secret White House tapes. Last week the National Journal disclosed
that Karl Rove does "about 95 percent" of his e-mails outside the
White House system, instead using a Republican National Committee
account. What's more, Rove doesn't tap most of his messages on a White
House computer, but rather on a BlackBerry provided by the RNC. By
this method, Rove and other White House aides evade the legally
required archiving of official e-mails. The first glimmer of this
dodge appeared in a small item buried in a January 2004 issue of U.S.
News & World Report: "'I don't want my E-mail made public,' said one
insider. As a result, many aides have shifted to Internet E-mail
instead of the White House system. 'It's Yahoo!, baby,' says a
Bushie."

Procol Harum:The Blink Of An Eye(9/11)

This song is performed by Procol Harum.

It was all over in the blink of an eye
Thousands of people walking by
A big black bird swooped out of the sky
Nobody knew the reason why

It was all over in a few seconds flat
Blue skies turned grey at the drop of a hat
Pillars of dust blocked out the sun
All that the people could do was run

We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet

It was all over in an avalanche of pain
And now the world can never be the same
The dreams of so many have gone up in smoke
The ones who are left don't know how to cope

We thought we were living on easy street
But they pulled the rug from under our feet
They pulled the rug from under our feet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Icahn

Carl Celian Icahn (born February 16, 1936) is an American billionaire
financier, corporate raider, and private equity investor. His net
worth is US$14 billion as of 2008, making him the 46th richest man in
the world...
Icahn was raised in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York City. He was
educated at Princeton University (A.B., Philosophy, 1957) and New York
University School of Medicine, but left prior to graduation.

Icahn began his career on Wall Street in 1961. In 1968, he formed
Icahn & Co., a securities firm that focused on risk arbitrage and
options trading. In 1978, he began taking control positions in
individual companies. He has taken substantial or controlling
positions in various corporations including: RJR Nabisco, TWA, Texaco,
Phillips Petroleum, Western Union, Gulf & Western, Viacom, Uniroyal,
Dan River, Marshall Field, E-II (Culligan and Samsonite), American
Can, USX, Marvel Comics, Revlon, Imclone, Federal-Mogul, Fairmont
Hotels, Kerr-McGee, Time Warner and Motorola.

Icahn developed a reputation as a corporate raider after his hostile
takeover of TWA in 1985.[1] Recently, Icahn was shown to be interested
in the takeover of Yahoo! and the ousting of Jerry Yang from his
current position as CEO to allow Microsoft to purchase the web
company. [2]

Icahn could tower over Stratosphere
The billionaire buys bonds of the troubled Las Vegas casino company,
but his next move is unclear......
The New York-based billionaire recently purchased first-mortgage notes
that had been owned by Cargill Financial Services Corp. for an
estimated $28 million, or about $12 million less than their face
value, sources said.
"I think he wants to buy an asset at a low price and sell it some time
down the road for a much higher return," said Jason Ader, a gaming
industry analyst for the Wall Street investment firm of Bear Stearns
Inc...
Raised in New York City by a father who was a Jewish cantor and a
mother who was a schoolteacher, Icahn attended Princeton University on
a scholarship. He later dropped out of medical school.
A long-told story says Icahn began his investing career with $4,000 in
poker winnings but was forced to sell his convertible after a stock
market crash in 1962. In 1968, he borrowed $400,000 to purchase a seat
on the New York Stock Exchange.
.................................
.........................
No wonder stock fraud criminals such as Icahn find Yahoo! such a good
investment,they can promote their own penny stock frauds right,far
right, from the same site they they control and provide free e-mail
service to Washington,D.C. government employees from SEC employees to
White House and CIA who wish to remain discreet and can think of ways
to repay them later......

Below we will explore some of what wikipedia doesn't report about the
far right Adnan Khashoggi,bin Laden,George W Bush regime connected
scumbag,Carl Icahn.He is no 'business genius' - he is a fraud and
parasite upon America and investors - all done with his contacts and
far right wing criminal connections -not by any 'genius' - just a
criminal mind and corrupt political and economic connections - like
his pals Saudi Iran-Contra arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and 'Orthodox
Jew' and
'vulture fund' capitalist Paul Singer who used Yahoo! and other
scammy internet sites such as ragingbull dot con to tout their illegal
pump and dump fraud and money laundering operations just as
GenesisIntermedia up to 9/11 demonstrates.(Records of that illegal
pump and dump have since been 'deleted' from Yahoo and raginbgbull dot
con penny stock promotion websites in order to protect the guilty.)
Same is true of Stanford University
scumbag Jerry Yang who would turn in his less fortunate Chinese relatives
to its fascist government to make a dollar or a yuan or whatever.....That
scumbag should have already pumped and dumped enough worthless Yahoo!
shares in the 1990's to live off his ass-ets but - nope - the greedy
scumbag just keeps pumping and dumping more worthless shares on
investors and allows Yahoo! email and message boards to be used to
spy on his fellow Americans such as myself and delete and confiscate
personal email to give to the U.S. government or its corrupt employees
- WHILE PROVIDING WHITE HOUSE AND U.S. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYESS WITH
SECURE ACCOUNTS FREE OF PROPER PUBLIC SCRUTINY.GOVERNMENT AND CIA
EMPLOYEE CONNECTED STOCK FRAUDS SUCH AS SRA INTERNATIONAL PROMOTE
THEIR SHARES WHILE YAHOO! DELETES ANY OF MY OR OTHERS CRITICISM OF
SUCH FRAUDS INCLUDING THOSE OF CHARLES SCHWAB,NFI OR NOVA STAR PUMP
AND DUMP PONZI SCHEME AND HOME LOAN SHARKS OR OVERSTOCK.COM FRAUD OF
PATRICK BYRNE WHO CLAIMS(LIES)THAT HIS
WORTHLESS SHARES ARE BEING 'NAKED SHORTED(COUNTERFEITTED),BY A 'SITH
LORD' !And those few are just the tip of the tip of the always melting
iceberg...

CRIMINALS,WANG,ICAHN,ET.AL., ALSO HAVE ALLOWED DEATH THREATS TO BE
MADE AGAINST ME ON THEIR SCAMMY YAHOO! INTERNET SITE AS WELL. AS TO
PROTECT THE STOCK FRAUD THAT THEY AND THEIR FAR RIGHT CRIMINAL ELITE
HAVE SO HANDSOMELY PROFITED FROM OVER THE YEARS.....AND BESIDES OVERSTOCK
DOT CON,TASER STUN GUN CROOKS AND FASCISTS AS WELL AS CARL ICAHN'S,
ADNAN KHASHOGGI'S AND PAUL SINGER'S AND IRAN-CONTRA PARTNER OF KHASHOGGI,
AL BATRAWI - AFTER POCKETING AND LAUNDERING CASH FROM DEFRAUDED
INVESTORS IN THEIR GENESISINTERMEDIA FRAUD ALSO CLAIMED SOMEONE(A SITH
LORD!?),HAD NAKED SHORTED' THEIR WORTHLESS SHARES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE
THE ONES WHO DUMPED THEM(UNAUDITED SHARES FROM OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS) ON
DEFRAUDED INVESTORS !

Yahoo! and Carl Icahn

Icahn't
Jul 23rd 2008 | SAN FRANCISCO
From Economist.com

Yahoo! solves one problem and is left with all the others

SUDDENLY,they all find pleasant things to say about each other. Until
the weekend, Carl Icahn, an activist investor who had taken a stake in
Yahoo!, a beleaguered internet company, was hurling public abuse at
Jerry Yang, its boss and co-founder, and proposing to fire the entire
board at a shareholder meeting on August 1st. Yahoo! was pitching the
invective back—even using its own home-page—and mocking Mr Icahn's
ignorance in matters techie. He has no plan, said Yahoo!, besides
selling out to Microsoft. That is what you should have done long ago,
retorted Mr Icahn, who started negotiations with Microsoft himself.
This "odd-couple collaboration" will "destroy stockholder value,"
Yahoo! screamed.

..................................................................

 

First note immediately below is a quote from and link to a recent
article re CREW's legal fight to obtain White House e-mail records
intentionally lost and mixed up with RNC or Republican National
Committee email and - although given little publicity - White House
criminals have also used Yahoo!
e-mail accounts as well !

The reason I take this very personally is the fact that while Yahoo!
of Jerry Yang and the stock con artist and fraud Carl Icahn,
et.al.,treat White House war and stock criminals as VIPs - my email
is 'deleted' or stolen and probably
given to them,(government employees and criminals who threaten my life
on Yahoo! 'message boards'),for all I know .

I have received threats to my life on Yahoo! from anonymous posters
who may be government employees and who certainly, like Warren
Buffett's pal - Patrick Byrne - CEO of the unending pump and dump scam
called Overstock.com - have White House and Utah Senators Bob Bennett
and Orin Hatch connections !Also from Stephen
Cunningham who as I have explained in previous posts has connections to
British Israeli criminal Michael Zwebner who has bribed Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert and has Saudi Islamic charity money laundering
suspect Mohamed Hadid as a 'business' partner as well!

And as I've said,besides stealing my email,Mr.Yang and his Yahoo!s are
in bed with Carl Icahn who is in turn connected to the scumbag Saudi
Iran-Contra arms and drug dealer Adnan Khashoggi.Their
GenesisIntermedia pump and dump money laundering operation in part
funded Carl Icahn,et.al.'s investmnent in the Yahoo! website that
spys for such fascist regimes as the W Bush White House and probaly
its Chinese,Israeli allies et.al. and allows them and
'friends' a space to promote stock frauds.While Yahoo! allows far
right U.S. government connected criminals to use Yahoo! for fraud and
to send and receive extra-official government emails that should
remain on the White
House's own server they will also delete and confiscate email of those
such as myself who are on to
their scams ! Yahoo! the scam site of penny stock fraudsters such as
Carl Icahn and friends deleted all my posts and warnings on the
Charles Schwab 'message' or promotion board,the Overstock.com(OSTK),
'message'or promotion board, as well as the SRA International board of
the CIA and In-Q-Tel that even allowed its shares to be 'cold called'
in Hong Kong from Kuala Lumpur (against Hong Kong securities
regulators wishes) by a CIA connected boiler room called Bellador Group !

As you will see below the two greedy squabbling Yahoos!,Jerry Wang,who
has pumped and dumped his scammy Yahoo! shares for years,and the
penny stock and terrorist connected, Carl Icahn,(i.e.- connected to
Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi who is in turn connected to the bin
Ladin family and Saudi royalty), and the
'Orthodox' Jewish right winger and
fraudster Paul Singer use money from their frauds such Singer's 'vulture
funds' that prey on poor countries and poor people and steal funds
from U.S. taxpayers destined for reducing their debt and use money
from stock frauds such as GenesisIntermedia to bribe or 'donate' to
corrupt politicians or to manipulate California politics and support
scum like 9/1 cover up artist ex NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani!

Both Yang and Icahn are both corrupt U.S. and Chinese government
dirty tricks operators and spys against both Chinese investigative
journalists and Americans citizens !

The GenesisIntermedia pump and dump fell apart on or around the time
of 9/11,but U.S. government protected Carl Icahn is connected,(SEC
CHAIR CHRISTOPHER COX HAS BEEN AIDING AND ABETTING POLITICALLY WELL
CONNECTED STOCK FRAUDS SUCH AS ENRON AND
MONEY LAUNDERING SCUM SUCH AS CARL ICAHN AND JERRY YANG,JAMES DALE
DAVIDSON,D.C. BANKER DAVID P SUMMERS AND ISRAELI AND ARAB CRIMINALS AND
SUSPECT TEWRRORISTS SINCE HE WAS PART OF GEORGE H.W.BUSH'S 's CRIMINAL
WHITE HOUSE IN THE 1980's AND CONTINUES TO DO SO EVEN MORE SO AS W
BUSH'S SEC CHAIRMAN TODAY .)

I have tried to get copies of my stolen,(by Yahoo!),e-mail
correspondence to and from my attorney Joshua Ridless for some time
now but you see Josh Ridless turns out to be an attorney who
represents the very kind of 'emerging growth' and 'start up' firms
such as the Endovasc of Stanford University penny stock fraud that
ripped me off in the first place.So after paying him $5,000 he has
decided to steal
my legal records as well that include court documents between Endovasc
and the right wing penny stock attorney from Santa Monica,(where
Yahoo! office is located !),who may have received $125,000 in
fraudulent shares for defending a Jack Idema when he was jailed in
Afghanistan for torturing Afghanis at his 'safe house' in Kabul
shortly before the Abhu Graibe scandal broke !
So Yahoo! controlled by the scumbags Jerry Yang and Carl Icahn,et.al.
stole that as well and protect White House and U.S. government employees
e-mail from public access ! Also they have allowed a Stephen
Cunningham as well as other anonymous individuals to post death
threats against me on Yahoo ! Cunningham promotes Israeli connected
U.S. penny stocks such as Xybernaut,Universal Communications(now
ticker symbol AWTI),THAT EVEN ISRAEL WAR AND STOCK CRIMINAL,PRIME
MINISTER EHUD OLMERT, USED FOR FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING,AND
UNIVERSAL EXPRESS OR USXP THAT ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE FAR RIGHT ISREALI
CONNECTIONS AND CERTAINLY ITS NOW JAILED CEO RICHARD ALTOMARE(HE WAS
RELEASED TODAY AS I WRITE) HAS WORKED SCAMS WITH OLMERT'S PARTNER
BRITISH ISRAELI MICHAEL ZWEBNER IN HIS AND CUNNINGHAM'S AIR WATER
CORP FRAUD OF UCSY IN THE PAST.

And even worse if it could be is the fact that the Israeli NASDAQ
stock fraud ICTS International that
'guarded' Logan Airport Boston on 9/11
by using money defrauded from American investors to buy Huntleigh
security guards and their Logan contract was - like Securacom of
Marvin Bush and the Kuwait Al Sabah royal family - also a worthless
penny stock that used the fraudulent Yahoo!
'business' message boards and site to
pump and dump their shares and buy that contract out on Logan !So what
the American public has been kept ignorant thanks to the NY Times,LA
Times,Fox News,CNN,ETC., IS THAT 9/11 WAS FUNDED BY aMERICANS
DEFRAUDED IN PENNY STOCK SCAMS WITH THE COMPLICITY OF OUR OWN SEC AND
NASDAQ STOCK MARKET,(THAT IS NOW OWNED IN PART BY DUBAI).

If anything before anyone buys the NASDAQ and internet fraud called
Yahoo! - it should be investigated and all government agents who have
used it for email service and particularly for posting 'messages'
on its 'business' or pump and dump 'message boards' should be made public.

As for the dishonest corrupt San Francisco attorney Josh Ridless who I
paid $5,000 to among other things
retreive the Los Angeles court document titled Francis Pizzulli vs.
Endovasc,(a Stanford U 'biotech' fraud involving D.C. banker David P
Summers,Steve Forbes' National Taxpayers Union founder James Dale
Davidson,the Ukranian Israeli Grin brothers and myriad offshore
accounts),and my email correspondence to and from him that was stolen
by Jerry Wang,Carl Icahn and their corrupt fellow Yahoo!s - well he
(attorney Ridless of San Francisco)turns out to be an Israeli penny
stock fraud aider and abetter and friend to Charles Schwab's
attorneys who were part of the fraud I have been victim of from the
beginning !

Josh Ridless or Joshua Ethic-less poses with the Al Aqsa Mosque of
Jerusalem in the background on his website no doubt in part there to
meet Israeli penny stock con artists and gain business contacts from
the very far right Israeli based mafia that ripped me and other
Americans off in U.S. penny stock frauds such as Pluristem,etc., in
the first place and who launder and bank their stolen money at Leumi
and other criminal banks operating in Israel !

The Pluristem fraud proted by notorious penny stock criminal James
Dale Davidson and founder of National Taxpayers Union in
Alexandria,Virginia,( only a few blocks from the U.S. Securities
Exchange Commission office run by ex Latham and Watkins Enron attorney
and Republican southern California Congressman Chris 'Naked Shorts'
Cox), has the aid of Technion University of Israel that
profits from it and besides probably far right well connected
Israelis.It also has ex Carlyle CEO and CIA Frank Carlucci and
National Taxpayers Union founder James Dale Davidson who started the
fraudulent claim called
'naked short selling' around 2002 to cover up his illegal pumps and
dumps of Endovasc and Genemax.His site
was called NAANSS or National Association Against Naked Short Selling
- very similar to Patrick Byrne's and Mark Mitchell's and David
Patch's and Bud Burrell's NCANS OR NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST NAKED
SHORTING WHO PROMOTE PUMP AND DUMP PENNY STOCK FRAUD AND ISSUE DEATH
THREATS AND LIES ABOUT ME FROM THEIR 'THESANITYCHECK DOT CON
WEBSITE.THEY HAVE EVEN CLAIMED 'COINCIDENTALLY' THAT CARL ICAHN'S
GENESISINTERMEDIA WAS A VICTIM OF
NAKED SHORTING' - BY A 'SITH LORD' NO DOUBT ! Yahoo was and still is
used by them to promote the loan shark fraud called NFI as well as to
lead potential marks or suckers to their supposed anti 'naked
shorting' website to lure them into penny stock scams !

The size of this 'business' has become so huge and uncontrolled that
death threats are common and Yahoo! that has allowed anonymous and not
so anonymous individuals,some with probable U.S. government ties,to
post threats against me or anyone else and they should be identified
and prosecuted !

Below are various article-links related to White House use of Yahoo!
email services,NSA government internet
spying,as well as some related to and from penny stock fraudsters such
as ex WSJ and Columbia School of Journalism 'reporter' Mark Mitchell
who is paid by Patrick Byrne for lieing about the supposed threat of
'naked shorting' which is really just insiders such as himself dumping
shares on defrauded investors.
Also you will find links to and quotes from articles re Yahoo! 's
Jerry Yang and Carl Icahn and Adnan Khashoggi,et.al.'s GenesisIntermedia.
Also Mark Mitchell's comments about me who he admits has no money left to
even buy stocks much less indulge as he and Bud Burrell who threatens
my life from their thesanitycheck.con site,to indulge in stocks much
less the frauds they promote !

White House E-mail Docs to Fall Under Info Act?

Appeal by citizens group pending on files relating to internal e-mail
investigation.

 

July 10, 2008
By Judy Mottl: More stories by this author:
White House e-mail debacle

The advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) won a
small victory today, as the U.S. District Court held out the
possibility of an appeal overturning its decision on access to
documents relating to missing White House e-mails.

The latest ruling is not a reversal but an indication that the CREW
appeal has merit, Anne Weismann, CREW chief counsel, told
InternetNews.com. CREW had filed for access under the Freedom of
Information (FOI) act.

District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, of the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia, ruled Tuesday that the White House
Office of Administration (OA) must preserve any documents tied to its
internal e-mail investigation in the event CREW wins an appeal filed
to gain access to the material.

Last month Kollar-Kotelly had ruled the OA is not a federal agency and
its documents were not accessible under the FOI rules............

This week's court decision was separate from a lawsuit filed by CREW
and the National Security Archive last year against the Executive
Office of the President (EOP) to preserve e-mail and determine what
e-mails are missing from White House servers. It could impact the
joint e-mail preservation effort, however.

CREW and the Archive are awaiting a court decision on several issues
ranging from extending an e-mail preservation order to mandating that
the EOP confiscate mobile storage devices that could house e-mail from
the timeframe of March 2003 to October 2005. There is no specific
timeframe for the court's decision...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has vigorously opposed CREW and
Archive efforts, stating such actions aren't necessary and that
recommendations to boost e-mail protection would prove onerous.

The EOP has previously admitted that three months of data at the heart
of the lawsuit are missing from its backup tapes.

Yahoo Co-founder, Jerry Wang to donate $75 Million to Stanford
University, his Alma Mater

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007
It has been reported that co-founder of Internet media company, Yahoo
Inc., Jerry Yang plans on donating $75 million to Stanford University,
his alma mater. This bit of news was revealed by Stanford University
itself, which plans to use most of this money on a new environmental
studies center.

Both Jerry Yang and his wife, Akiko Yamazaki received their
undergraduate degrees from Stanford University in 1990. Besides, Yang
also received a master's degree from the university, and happened to
actually be working toward a doctorate in 1994. Coincidentally, at the
same time he then co-founded Yahoo with fellow Stanford student Dave
Filo. Later in 2005, Jerry Yang was elected to the Stanford University
Board of Trustees.

Out of the $75 million that is to be donated by Yang, $5 million will
be used for construction of a Learning and Knowledge Center at
Stanford's School of Medicine. $50 million has already been assigned
as the cost of the Environment and Energy Building project, and the
remaining $20 million will be retained for projects that will be
determined at a later date.

According to Jerry Wang, "We keep coming back to Stanford as a place
to give money to, because there's a uniqueness that Stanford offers
donors like us.......

White House E-Mail Lost in Private Accounts
Messages May Have Included Discussions About Firing of Eight Prosecutors

By Michael Abramowitz and Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, April 12, 2007; Page A04

The White House acknowledged yesterday that e-mails dealing with
official government business may have been lost because they were
improperly sent through private accounts intended to be used for
political activities. Democrats have been seeking such missives as
part of an investigation into the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

Yahoo on NSA surveillance: No comment
California politician tries to get Yahoo's lawyer to say whether
company is cooperating with a domestic spying program.
By Declan McCullagh
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Published: February 15, 2006, 1:55 PM PST

Under cross-examination during a congressional hearing, Yahoo's top
lawyer refused on Wednesday to say whether the company opens its
records for government surveillance without a court order.

Michael Callahan, Yahoo's senior vice president and general counsel,
declined five times to answer that question from Rep. Brad Sherman, a
California Democrat who was probing whether the Internet company had
cooperated with the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance
efforts.
Michael Callahan
Michael Callahan

"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment," said Callahan, who was
testifying under oath. He added that Yahoo would "only turn over
information if it's required by law."

But Callahan refused to say whether a demand from the NSA--not backed
by a court order--qualifies as required by law.

No law or regulation prohibits Yahoo from answering the question. In a
survey published last week by CNET News.com, companies as varied as
BellSouth, Comcast, EarthLink and T-Mobile answered in the negative.
Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, has posed similar questions to
those companies, and AT&T has been sued for allegedly turning
information over to the NSA in violation of privacy laws.

Sherman, who represents the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, is a
Harvard Law graduate who was known as a stickler for detail while a
lawyer in private practice. He's been critical of the NSA surveillance
program, and said last week that President Bush's recent claims about
terrorists planning to attack a Los Angeles skyscraper were a
political stunt........

Michael Callahan seems to be cooperating with people who make death
threats to me and others on both the Yahoo NFI 'message board' and the
'OSTK' message board and then deleting my accounts at their whim ?
Once on a Sunday when I thought Yahoo employees would be taking a
break I made a comment on Patrick Byrne's OSTK BOARD SIMPLY THAT THE
POSTER PROMOTING HIS 'NAKED SHORTING' PENNY STOCK SCAM TO PRETEND OSTK
WAS BEING 'NAKED SHORTED' BY A 'SITH LORD' USED 'TEH' FOR 'THE' JUST
AS THE STOCK TOUT DAVE PATCH OF 'INVESTIGATETHESEC' DOES.MY POSTS AND
EMAIL ACCOUNT WAS COMPLETELY REMOVED WITHIN MINUTES !!!

I suspect not only is Yahoo in bed with NSA BUT WITH STOCK FRAUD TOUTS
AS WELL WHO MAY BE LIKE JAMES DALE DAVIDSON,FAR RIGHT FOUNDER OF THE
NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION AND AGORA INC.,VERY BELTWAY CONNECTED.

The scum who run the Yahoo business or stock message boards have aided
and abetted rather than censored or deleted(except to remove
incriminating evidence posts) their fraudulent stock tout accounts and
allow Patrick Byrne and his death threat friend 'Bob O'Brien' full
sway to lie and promote fraud and threaten.

Who are these people Mr.Michael Callahan who you allow to threaten and
intimidate us and you protect them ? Has a Beltway mafia and Patrick
Byrne who you allow to link to nfi-info.net and ncans.net day after
fraudulent day for how many years NOW and Mary Helburn president of
the fraud so hard to delete and OR bring to justice for fraud and
threats ?

I have already posted the death threats and such you allow and pointed
out the 'NAANSS' or National Association Against Naked Short
Selling'fraud was a James Dale Davidson-Agora Inc AND THUS BELTWAY
fraud and David Patch's
'investigatethesec' and that 'NCANS' or National Coalition Against
Naked Short Selling' was either plagiarised from that Beltway stock
fraud OR THE SAME STOCK FRAUDS WERE INVOLVED.Why can't you end their
reign of stock fraud and 'naked short' this and that scam OR CLOSE
DOWN YOUR MESSAGE FRAUD BOARDS ? HUH ?

Why do you delete my account for warning and coddle and protect them
who have defrauded many.Huh ? Do a google search 'yahoo mafia death
threats tony guatemala cabby machete' and then ask those at Yahoo
whether they are bribed to allow this kind of stuff or are you ? DO
YOU CONDONE THESE TYPES OF THREATS ?

Is there a Beltway connection ? Patrick Byrne and his daddy Jack sure
paid off the Republican party to the tune of over $1,000,000 and 'Bob
O'Brien in one of his many aliases once told me he had some in at
Yahoo.You might also do a google search of 'phones records james
davidson eisinger boat subs' or to make it easy on you just follow
this link that I posted from Yahoo just in case you all at Yahoo might
delete it to destroy evidence as you did..........

Tony said,"I do know you are a stock fraud"
Tony,
You seem to be going over the line. That type degradation of a
man's honor is not looked upon favorably by the US court system.
Your claim of no assets does not give you the right to use a
public message board to make claims that you know are false.
Your current walk on the wild side should have educated you to
the fact that some folks are not as relaxed and honorable as Mr. Hill.
Please be more careful in your unfounded accusations - and
good luck in any forthcoming prison time.Naked shorting is the
name.RICO is the game.

Yahoo's NFI board NCANS.NET chatter: reader comment from Tony Ryals
Posted on: octubre 14, 2005, 1:58 PM PDT
Story: Yahoo unveils blog search tool

(Note:'easter_bunny_d3'was ncansd3, dirtydirtydeeds,and who knows or
remembers other aliases on Yahoo's NFI and OSTK MESSAGE BOARDS.He
acknowledges being the alias 'Bob O'Brien' of ncans.net and
nfi-info.net who placed the $100,000 + ad-letter in the Washington
Post along with Overstock.com's Patrick Byrne on February 8 warning
about the supposed dangers of 'naked shorting' to investments in
markets that was addressed to W.Bush ET.AL.He is the one who released
private information about Marc Cohodes of Rocker Partners hedge fund
and who stated in Yahoo post to me that someone could be killed in
Guatemala by paying a 'cabbie' $500.

...............................................

Below mention of me(Tony Ryals) from pinkherring.com,circa 2006.Note
SRA International.'IT' or internet technology company,(paid generously
White House,SEC,U.S. military,GAO, and other U.S. bureaucracies), had
its shares sold and promoted by the now disappeared Kuala Lumpur and
Dubai located 'boiler room', Bellador Group, along with
various,(probably CIA connectted),
penny stock scams such as China
Wireless(Republican Party connected for sure),Endovasc(Stanford
University,etc.,connected fraud),Biophan biotech fraud,etc..
So the CIA or its In-Q-Tel lied below.What else is new ?
-Tony Ryals

In his(New York Post) column, Mr. Byron made reference to Tony Ryals,
who, he wrote, "has been bombarding the S.E.C. and Internet message
boards for years with claims that he has uncovered a submerged world
of In-Q-Tel-linked fraud stretching for Kuala Lumpur to the Middle
East."

According to Mr. Byron, Mr. Ryals' complaints earlier this month were
picked up by a "left-leaning Web site" that "reported that S.E.C.
investigators think the C.I.A.-backed venture fund has been steering
money into penny stock 'pump and dump' firms in Israel, Dubai and
Malaysia."

The firm's linkages "are bewildering in their complexity" and
"typically impossible to follow," Mr. Byron wrote, "but conspiracy
buffs find them irresistible." As does, apparently, at least one
newspaper columnist.

Mr. Byron's declaration that In-Q-Tel "continues to funnel agency
money into penny stock and micro-cap companies in Wall Street's
murkiest back alleys" is also countered in The Red Herring. "In-Q-Tel
does not invest in public companies," Mr. Tighe said. Further, it has
"no involvement in any of those countries mentioned" by Mr. Ryals.

Below mention of me,(Tony Ryals),by ex CSJ or Columbia School of
Jounalism and WSJ or Wall Street Journal scumbag and paid hack Mark
Mitchell that I came upon tonight surfing Google.Note that while I
lost my own money in scams such as those he and his fraudster and
spook friends run over the internet including and particularly on
Yahoo.con and ragingbull.con penny stock promotion sites - even the
sleezy Steve Forbes paid hack and ex Businessweek 'rerporter'(who
wrote 'The Mob on Wall Street' and sees Italians - but - NEVER JEWS
OR ISRAELIS - behind every stock scam but can't name them),has
pointed out that the unethical and in truth criminal scum and Wall
Street connected Mark Mitchell,(who actually contacted me a few years
ago under guise of doing unbiased investigative reporting),is a paid hack receiving money and or worthless shares of Overstock.com to dump on more defrauded investors for his own personal gain !Gary Weiss by the way has been involved in removing James Dale Davidson penny stock fraud bio I started on wikipedia using a rascist pseudonym,Mantan_Moreland,the name of a 1950's black movie actor,to edit or commit internet fraud with.....You can go to the 'James Dale Davidson'
wikipedia biography yourself and find Mantan-Moreland's self made bio claiming to be a 'black' 'jewish' irish' guy.Ha.....Also you can go back to my original edits and compare it to the 'stub' Gary Weiss reduced it to.Note Davidson is close associate of Gary's boss Steve Forbes.
Gary Weiss is also helping his pal Sam Antar bash admitedly scammy stocks such as Overstock,com for the purpose of shortibng them .Antar was part of the Jewish crime family that pumped a scam called Crazy Eddie's on the Est coast in the 1980's and laundered the money in Lichtenstein,
Israel,Panama,etc..

 

Mark Mitchell and HIS CRIME BOSS, Patrick Byrne,son of Warren Buffett connected Geico insurance billionaire Jack Byrne),cry about their fraudulent pump and dump scam Overstock being 'naked shorted' or 'counterfeitted' - which is a term that no economist ever used but was made up by penny stock criminal with W Bush connections who use unaudited(by SEC) U.S. penny stock shares for fraud and money laundering,(such as Cryptometrics-Jag Media Holdings fraud that claims New Zealand passport office as a client using
worthless U.S. penny stocks as currency!, with U.S. SEC or Securities
Exchange Commission's commion blessing !
Hey we(they),are at war after all - so what's a little(massive),U.S.
pump and dump penny stock fraud among friends !Anyway if you do your own investigation you will find the Christopher Byron is or was a very respected stock fraud investigative reporter who was at the NY Post before Rupert Murdoch the Fox News Corp scumbag and foreign agent bought it and prostituted it for his own
far right and foreign agents'(he lives
in China and with his Chinese wife but also being an old aging Jewish
moma's boy supports his right wing
Jewish religious state of Israel before the U.S. where he holds
citizenship and has a near monopoly on the U.S.news media ).
Mark Mitchell on the other hand is a journalistic fraud with no
credibility whatsoever living off the profits of U.S. penny stock
fraud and you can imagine how sleezy he is to harrass me and bully me over
the internet even after those he is
associated with - NCANS or National Coalition Against Naked
ShortSelling and Bud Burrell of thesanitycheck.con - threaten me - 'a
nobody' living in poverty in Guatemala - while he and they live quite comfortably off money they
stole from myself and others ! Coincidentally besides a number of far
right causes that have been funded from the fraud Overstock.com that
he aids and abets,Fox News also received money fom Patrick Byrne's
Overstock.com through Christmas advertising dreamt up by a Stormy
Simon,ex strip tease artist and lover of convicted murderer(of his
wife)in Utah.

Chris Byron by the way was quietly removed from his NY Post position
about a haslf year after writing about me.....

The Story of Deep Capture by Mark Mitchell, Part 16

here are a few journalists whom we have not yet mentioned.

One is Chris Byron, a columnist for The New York Post. Byron has
insisted that phantom stock is not a problem. He has accused Patrick
of being a conspiracy theorist. And he has written a column, "Gagging
the Market," in which he argues that Amr Elgindy's prosecution for
bribing FBI officials and manipulating stocks is a threat to the free speech of short-sellers and their media allies.

In April 2006, while the Media Mob is at the height of its
anti-Patrick Byrne hysterics, Byron publishes a story alleging that a
"CIA front operation continues to funnel agency money into penny stock
and micro-cap companies in Wall Street's murkiest back alleys."

The only source Byron names in his story is the "tireless
complainant," Tony Ryals.

Tony Ryals lives in a hut in Guatemala. On most mornings, he walks to a nearby internet café and begins writing - sometimes for stretches of
more than 24 hours. He has, indeed, become one of the most widely
published human beings on the planet. It seems almost impossible to
achieve such prolificacy - thousands of long-winded screeds, most of
them posted on Indymedia, a collection of websites that publish
anything by anybody.

The vast majority of Ryal's rants concern Patrick Byrne. Depending on
his mood, he writes that Patrick is linked to stock frauds, boiler
room operations, the death of Vince Foster, Skull & Bones, Osama bin
Laden, or the Israeli government.

"To see my latest," Ryals says in a recent message board post, "You
can google 'israeli prime minister ehud olmert stock fraud orthodox
jews gay prostitutes.'"

In the world of troubled dot-coms, you aren't likely to find a more
baroquely tangled intrigue than the one enveloping
GenesisIntermedia.com of Van Nuys, California--a company that claims
to operate such oddly unrelated businesses as a car rental company, a
consumer telemarketing company, a coupon business, and a network of
shopping mall Web kiosks.

Behind this company--or linked to it in one way or another--is a cast
of characters the likes of which are not often seen even in a
penny-stock souk, let alone the Nasdaq National Market, where Genesis
is (or at least, was) traded (Nasdaq: GENI). Within this yarn also
lurks a cautionary tale for any investor seeking to make a quick
killing on a volatile, low-priced stock like Genesis, which since
spring has soared from $6.50 to $25 and then back again............

So who's behind the veil? First, a fugitive Saudi arms merchant who is
wanted on a warrant for bank fraud in Thailand, and at least two
different drug dealers with felony rap sheets, one of whom is deceased
and had ties to the Central Intelligence Agency. Two regional
brokerage companies, one in Minnesota and the other in New Jersey,
have also gotten swept up in the story, as has the New York financier
Carl Icahn, who had the misfortune to extend a $100 million credit
line to Genesis in June in exchange for some warrants in the company's
stock.

Nasdaq market regulators halted trading in Genesis to seek "additional
information" from the company in apparent response to some
confused--and confusing--public statements as to whether its stock had
undergone a three-for-one split. A September 5 company press release
disclosing the plan said the split would take place on September 24.
One day later, the company issued a follow-up announcement in which
the date of the split was more vague...

Let's start with the largest single shareholder in Genesis: an outfit
called Ultimate Holdings. Ultimate Holdings turns out to be an
investment vehicle for a Saudi arms merchant named Adnan Khashoggi,
who played a key role in helping broker illegal weapons traffic from
the United States to Iran during the Iran/Contra affair.
(Incidentally, Mr. Khashoggi and Imelda Marcos, former first lady of
the Philippines, were jointly tried and acquitted of federal fraud
charges in New York, and he is currently a fugitive from a bank fraud
warrant in Thailand.)

Genesis's original underwriter was an outfit bearing the name
Millennium Financial. The firm--now known as I-Bankers Securities--is
run by a fellow named Michael Roy Fugler. Prior to becoming an
investment banker and broker, Mr. Fugler worked as a criminal defense
lawyer--in which capacity he handled narcotics-related cases for an
Arkansas pilot named Barry Seal.

Seal kept a plane at a rural airport in Mena, Arkansas, which was
eventually cited in news stories as a base of operations for alleged
CIA drug trafficking in connection with covert U.S. support for the
Contras. Seal is widely reported to have worked as a contract pilot
for the CIA in that effort, smuggling arms to the Contras in Nicaragua
and returning to Mena with cargoes of cocaine and other drugs. Seal
was murdered in 1986 in Louisiana by Colombian cocaine cartel hit men.
Mr. Fugler says he had absolutely no involvement with Seal except to
represent him in two criminal cases involving narcotics in Florida,
and a series of more routine civil actions elsewhere. He says he has
never met and does not know Mr. Khashoggi....

German press report last March identified Mr. Khashoggi as holding a
financial interest in WMP Bank and listed an individual named Regis
Possino as being active in the bank's affairs in an unspecified way.
Mr. Possino is a lawyer with a criminal record stretching back more
than 15 years. He was disbarred in the mid-'80s after being convicted
of selling 350 pounds of marijuana to undercover drug agents in
California. In 1995, he pleaded guilty in federal court in Los Angeles
to participating in a fraudulent scheme to use overvalued stock to
pump up an insurance company's balance sheet.

A June 2000 financial filing with the SEC lists a company under which
Mr. Possino does business--Corporate Financial Enterprises--as having
the same address as an investor named Reid Breitman. Mr. Breitman's
company, Corona, is listed in other SEC filings as being the largest
single shareholder of Global Capital Partners.

So let's see: a fugitive arms dealer, two convicted drug dealers (one
reportedly murdered by a Colombian cocaine hit squad), the scent of
the CIA, and even those golden oldie memories of the Iran/Contra
scandal--should we even bother to look at the company's financials? As
of its latest filing, Genesis showed $54 million in assets, $63
million in liabilities, a negative net worth of $9 million, $8 million
in quarterly losses, and $13 million in negative cash flow--assuming
you even believe the numbers.

Khashoggi,Cover-ups @ Mars and Venus doing lunch....
by Daniel Hopsicker

The story of the auto thief from Cleveland who discovered 39 dead
bodies in Rancho Santa Fe Ca. in March of 1997 in the Heaven's Gate
cult mass suicide is a reflection in a fun house mirror of America's
secret history of freakish cults, financial fraud, and the occasional
member of the Rockefeller family, all of which helped make possible
today's 9.11 cover-up

October 13 2004-Venice,FL.
by Daniel Hopsicker

After finding the bodies of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult on a
balmy afternoon in Southern California, arrayed in neat rows and
wearing brand new Nikes, Nick Matzorkis became instantly famous.

Soon he'd sold rights to the story of the cult suicide to the
Hollywood entertainment company for which both he and some of the dead
cultists worked. It was a smart move.
But fame can be a two-edged sword, and Matzorkis wound up suffering
the twin fates common to people in certain circles in L. A.: a
short-lived production deal, and jail time.

A probation officer saw him on national television, and 'made' him as
a wanted felon who'd skipped out on his sentence. He was jailed and
returned to Cleveland, coincidentally the home of financier Carl
Icahn, who will figure later in our story for allowing his name be
used to prop up Adnan Khashoggi and John Gray's Genesis Intermedia in
an announcement he'd extended the company a $100 million credit line
even as company principals were filling their pockets with pens and
staplers on their way out the door. Nothing was left behind...except
thousands of angry investors.

Ichan, strangely, also figures peripherally in the Heaven's Gate saga:
when the cultists threw themselves a final going-away-to-Hale Bopp
party in January of 1997, they held the bash at Icahn's Stratosphere
Casino in Vegas, which he was then in the process of purchasing out
of bankruptcy........

Like the attack,(9/11),itself, the story of the secret network involved in a
coordinated and apparently government-sponsored cover up of the 9/11
attack sprawls across the widest canvas imaginable.

"It involves a fugitive arms dealer, two convicted drug dealers (one
reportedly murdered by a Colombian cocaine hit squad), the CIA, and
golden oldie (operatives) from the Iran/Contra scandal," wrote
business journalist extraordinaire Christopher Byron in an article
about Genesis called "Kiosks, Cocaine, and Khashoggi."

Drug lore
Print All Articles Letter to the editor Podcast
on 29 January 2003, 22:00
by Duff McDonald

 

Fifteen months ago, Red Herring columnist Christopher Byron advised
readers to avoid the stock of GenesisIntermedia (Nasdaq: GENI), a
company involved in a bizarre collection of businesses that included
car rentals, telemarketing, and Web kiosks. There were also apparent
ties to drug dealers (see "The Contrarian," November 2001). Those who
followed his advice would have saved at least the cost of an eight
ball.

His recommendation was based less on the company's financial prospects
(although they were dubious) than on an uncomfortable feeling brought
on by the cast of shady characters that seemed to be floating in its
orbit. The lineup included Adnan Khashoggi (a fugitive arms dealer),
two convicted drug dealers (one dead), a Colombian cocaine hit squad,
and others with ties to the Iran-Contra scandal.

Amazingly, a recent lawsuit suggests that he hadn't even uncovered all
the malefactors. The case, which was filed last fall on behalf of MJK
Clearing, a subsidiary of Minnesota brokerage StockWalk Group, points
a finger directly at the Toronto branch of Deutsche Bank and a
recently fired broker named Wayne Breedon. Other colorful defendants:
Mr. Khashoggi; Ramy El-Batrawi, the former CEO of GenesisIntermedia;
Bradford Keiller, the owner of a Las Vegas strip club; and ten people
referred to as "John Does 1-10."

According to the suit, Mr. Breedon and his co-conspirators engaged in
fraudulent stock loans using Genesis shares, bringing down StockWalk
in the process. The firm's collapse last year was the largest of a
brokerage in 30 years.

La Habana 22 de julio 2008

The United States has one of the highest levels of press freedom in the world. We know this because four different press freedom organizations say so. The fact that all four receive generous funding from the U.S. government doesn’t seem to matter.

Fidel told Frei Betto in an interview that he considered freedom of the press to be nothing more than freedom of ownership, and this is true: money is power, and the U.S. press has the power to choose our political leaders for us. Just ask Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards and Ralph Nader, and they will tell you how they were disappeared from the 2008 presidential race as quickly and definitively as any Soviet leader who fell into disfavor with Stalin.

The current definition of freedom of the press was developed by the monopoly press, with the support of the state, and the tortuous logic goes like this:

Governments, although they are well intentioned, tend towards corruption and abuse.

An independent press is necessary to inform the public about this corruption and abuse.

Independence is assured by not receiving any money or subsidies from the government.

To maintain this independence, the press must be commercially successful.

Therefore, the more commercially successful the press is, the freer it is.

A communications text written by professors at Cal State Long Beach defines democracy in an equally crass way when it proposes this

argument: If democracy means distributing the greatest amount of goods to the greatest number of people, and advertising facilitates this distribution, then advertising is democracy (yes, the text actually says this).

Here’s the reality of the situation, which you would be unwise to speak of in a journalism class:

The transnational corporations control the state.

The big media companies are transnational corporations.

Therefore, the big media companies control the state.

What are the consequences of a state controlled by transnational corporations, among them the media giants? First, the media buy laws that enable them to become more consolidated and accumulate more capital. Second, the media will support the state as long as it is obedient to the transnational capitalist class. Third, if a leader manages to become head of state and decides that his loyalty is to the people who elected him, the media will wage war without quarter until that leader is gone.

The Rise and Fall of Reporters Without Borders

Journalists Jean-Guy Allard, Salim Lamrani and Maxime Vivas have written all there is to write about Reporters Without Borders. The facts are there for anyone interested in reading them. I would just like to add two philosophical points to the discussion of this government- and corporate-sponsored group.

The first is that although RSF has close links to the U.S. government, it also receives money from France, the European Union, the United Nations (until recently), from billionaire foundations such as Soros’ Open Society Institute and Taiwan. It is also receiving money from other sources, but who calls the shots?

Given the rise of a transnational capitalist class and the creation of supranational institutions such as the WTO, the EU, the IMF and World Bank, and the WEF, sociologists are struggling to create a new definition of imperialism. Many people still believe in U.S imperialism because it was the United States that lead the worldwide transformation that is globalization. However the overthrow of President Aristide in 2004, although lead by the United States, was actually a collective effort among the elites of four countries (five if you count the Dominican Republic), and it was one in which RSF, international media and NGOs played an important propaganda role. A transformed UN deployed troops after the coup to restore stability, not to restore constitutionality. Other imperialist actions are taking on a transnational character as well.

One way to resolve this problem is to conceptualize a transnational state, which was proposed by William Robinson in A Theory of Transnational Capitalism, among other works. From there, one can hypothesize a kind of imperialism practiced by this state – not as a unified monolith, of course, but a state in formation which already has powerful institutions at its disposal.

This is one reason for the revival of interest in the ideas of Antonio Gramsci. The transnational state, like the nation-state, reproduces itself in civil society; hence, the amazing proliferation of NGOs created or transformed to serve transnational capital, as well as the buying off of existing NGOs. This is a long, imprecise explanation for my hypothesis that RSF serves neither one country nor several, but the transnational state.

My second point is simpler, and it is that one of the propagandistic weapons RSF employs is to accuse leftist Latin American presidents of provoking political polarization. This is just one of its tactics that demonstrates the class character of its work. Polarization is a social phenomenon that occurs when two opposing classes are in conflict. It is only related to press freedom because the capitalist press is acting as a protagonist in the class struggle, committing sedition on behalf of powerful economic interests, of which it is one, but enjoying total impunity in the name of freedom of the press. The only way for a leftist president to avoid increasing polarization is to cease the class struggle. But RSF takes the position that the right to self defense exists only for capital.

The minute a journalist starts to write a story he is making choices colored by his biases. In the face of transcendental events, there is no such thing as impartiality. If a journalist hasn’t picked a side consciously, he or she is already on the wrong side.

La Habana 21 de julio 2008

On the occasion of the 19th anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista revolution, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez warned that the world crisis would continue to grow and said that the greatest crisis is the lack of common sense on the part of those who rule the world, citing a letter written to him by Fidel Castro.

Before an estimated 450,000 people, Chávez sent a message to the next leaders of the United States, saying,

“We don’t want war, we want a peaceful change to search for deep and true peace for our people. We don’t want more destabilizations,” he said.

“The only thing we demand is that they respect the sovereignty of the peoples of the region, because we are no longer lackeys, nor are we subordinate to any foreign power,” he said.

Chávez said that Latin Americans had awoken again like a volcano.

A multipolar world is being shaped, he said, and we demand that the United States and Europe respect our peoples and the human rights of our emigrants.

La Habana 19 de Julio 2008

The offices of Granma, are neither large nor elegant. They have the Spartan look one expects of the “Official Organ of the Communist Party of Cuba.” Granma is the least pretentious national daily in a world full of pretentious newspapers. On Friday it devoted one of its sixteen pages to Fidel’s reflection and another to the text of decree No. 259, signed by President Raúl Castro, dealing with the distribution of unused land for agricultural production. This may not seem like big news, but with the new prioritization of food security and incentives offered, many ordinary people are interested in taking up farming.

The paper’s editor-in-chief, Lázaro Barredo, is also a member of the National Assembly. His office has a brightly colored painting of Che Guevara, and a poster-sized reproduction of a letter Fidel wrote to his comrade-in-arms Celia Sánchez in 1958. The letter’s content reflects Barredo’s interest in Cuba’s security in the face of U.S. aggression: “Upon seeing the rockets they fired at Mario’s house, I have sworn to myself that the Americans are gong to pay dearly for what they are doing. When this war ends, for me a much longer and greater war will begin: the war that I am going to wage against them. I realize that that is going to be my true destiny.”

Barredo had written an editorial celebrating the death of Jesse Helms (R-NC), in which he said that the senator “felt a profound hatred for the Cuban Revolution […] and supported all the actions undertaken by the U.S. administration to overthrow it and assassinate Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro.” When we met, he asked if we were familiar with the events leading up to the passage of the 1996 Helms-Burton Act, which tightened the economic blockade against Cuba.

At the time Barredo was vice president of international relations in the National Assembly. What eventually became Helms-Burton began to wind its way through Congress in the beginning of 1995, pushed by the usual suspects from South Florida. According to Barredo, Clinton didn’t want the law to pass because it sanctioned European governments and transnational corporations doing business in Cuba.

Because of this reluctance, Miami extremists saw the need to create an international incident to force passage of the law and formed Brothers to the Rescue, headed by José Basulto.

Basulto claimed in an interview on Miami channel 41 ten years later – Dec. 6, 2005 -- that he had received his training in terrorism from the CIA. He was recruited for Operation 40, a CIA death squad organized to follow up the Bay of Pigs invasion with political assassinations, and in the same program admitted to firing a 22 mm gun at a Havana hotel on Aug. 24, 1962 – an attempt on Castro’s life.

Brothers to the Rescue proceeded to violate Cuban airspace 25 times with small planes. These were not isolated incidents; the 1990s were a decade of renewed aggression against Cuba with a total of 108 terrorist acts, including 16 attempts on Fidel’s life and eight attempts to assassinate other Cuban leaders, according to undercover agent Percy Alvarado Godoy, who infiltrated the Cuban American National Foundation. In particular, on July 13, 1995, Brothers to the Rescue attempted to penetrate Cuban waters with a flotilla of 11 boats, six planes and two helicopters. One of the planes dropped pamphlets over Havana. Basulto’s associate, Arnaldo Iglesias, testified in the trial of the five Cuban heroes that in1995 he and Basulto had experimented with throwing home-made bombs from an airplane in the area of Opa-locka Airport in Miami.

In January 1996 Barredo was meeting with Rep. Bill Richardson, and at the same time Ricardo Alarcón was meeting with two other U.S. representatives. Alarcón instructed him to bring Richardson to Alarcón’s meeting, and they all sat down to express the great concern of the Cuban government over the repeated violations of Cuban territory. Cuba communicated these concerns to the Clinton administration many times, but all he did was to revoke the group’s pilot’s licenses, Barredo said.

February 24, 1996 was a carnival day, with crowds of people out at the Malecón. When the Cuban defense forces learned that three planes had left Miami and were headed for Cuba, the pilots were warned that they had violated Cuban airspace and ordered to return. The Cuban government has a recording of the entire communication and according to Barredo, one hears the voice of Basulto “laughing nervously” and ordering the other two planes to continue towards Havana while he and Iglesias turned around and headed back to Miami. The two planes were shot down by Cuban MIGs, setting off a crisis during which Clinton rejected a proposal to fire missiles at different targets in Cuba.

Clinton signed the Helms-Burton Act soon after with even stronger provisions. According to Barredo it principally codified the blockade, so that no president would be able modify it without going to Congress. Clinton also expropriated frozen Cuban assets and began to budget money for anti-Castro groups. Those trade restrictions and millions of dollars for the civil society mafia continue to this day.

CHINA AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER:

How Entrepreneurship, Globalization, and Borderless Business
are Reshaping China and the Word (Book Excerpts)
中国及新世界次序

by George Zhibin Gu

November 8, 2006
taken from: http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/ed...2006/1108.html

A New World Order in the Making?

Is a new world order in the making? The answer: yes. Up to now, only about 20% of the world's people have attained solid development, growth, and modernity. Now the rest are catching up at an unprecedented speed. This sudden surge in so many late developers suggests a brave new world in the making.

Several Key Changes

Huge changes are happening, within a vastly expanded sphere for all people and nations. We can identify four in particular.

First, wealth making through industrialization and commercialization has become a universal thing. For a long time, products made in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany dominated global markets. Today, products made in China, Mexico, Vietnam, and Indonesia, among other developing nations, are increasingly flooding the world, changing the global production map again.

Behind this changing map, interestingly, many poor nations have rapidly taken on active roles in the global economy. But their biggest weapon remains low-cost labor, which provides a working platform for cooperation and sharing between the rich and poor nations.

Today, most developing nations are extremely limited in resources and strengths. Hence, for them, this cost gap is a survival gap. In fact, other than cheap labor and hard work, they have few advantages. However, it turns out that low labor cost and hard work do make a difference.

For now, manufacturing activities, especially in the low end of the value chains, increasingly shift to the poor nations, while the developed nations focus more and more on a service and high-tech-oriented economy. This giant change, though only beginning, will impact the future world economy even more.

Second, all regional markets are connected to each other. Interdependence is opening up the old national boundaries dramatically. Most profoundly, the flows of capital, technology, goods, and people have reached a new level. Moving from survival of the fittest to rational collaboration and sharing, life on the earth will never be the same again.

Third, wealth making has gained a record-high status. Consequently, old ideology is lost to the new economic waves. This is a truly golden age for capitalists anywhere, who can reach all corners of the world for the first time in human history.

Multinationals are gaining unprecedented power in shaping global life. Their share of trade approaches 50% and is still on the rise. Actually, they are warmly courted by all nations, rich or poor. Courting them has become a high art for all governments. The new picture is this: Incentives move the world-not politics, not ideology, not empty words.

Fourth, hundreds of millions of ordinary people everywhere have joined the entrepreneurial army. Starting a business is no longer for the privileged few as in the past, especially in the developing nations. Furthermore, individual private initiatives are undermining state domination especially in many less developed nations. This is hugely significant especially given that traditional bureaucratic powers in many developing nations have been strong and abusive.

Above all, such changes have happened within a short time, which is possible only in an increasingly globalized world. Naturally, more consequences will follow.

Interdependence and Beyond

The sudden surge in late developers is bound to create ripple effects. Since well over 5 billion people are involved, development in these countries will be much more influential than ever before.

But this new growth for most late developers started from extremely low levels. As a result, achieving full development, growth, and modernity will take a long time. At present, China and many other late developers are still bogged down by countless mighty problems, which make transitions very painful to say the least.

Still, there is no way to overestimate the role of the developed world in what is happening. After all, the existing world order is centered on the developed nations. They collectively control most wealth and the biggest markets. As the pie expands, the few rich nations are the biggest beneficiaries. What is more, they continue to act as an engine of growth as well as a catalyst for change. Without doubt, the developed nations will continue to exert the biggest influences as time passes.

All things considered, the late developers should continue to learn from the developed countries, whose experiences and lessons are relevant in countless ways. After all, development is a human issue. In many ways, what is happening inside the developing nations simply follows the growth trails of the developed world.

For a long time, the idea of learning from the early developers did not get enough attention or even was rejected. Now, more people realize that development experiences are of universal value; this represents a basic change. It is this new spirit of learning that has directly promoted quick growth in many late developers. China is one example of making progress through learning.

Challenges

Challenges are plentiful as well. The vast development gaps remain a key challenge. New conflicts emerge everywhere. As one example, trade friction has increased sharply even though record-breaking trade has brought unprecedented opportunities and prosperity. To handle trade disputes, nationalistic protectionist measures are still widely used, and there is still a strong Cold War mentality.

Furthermore, the vast economic gaps have produced more adverse consequences. In particular, some extremists wish to address their woes by employing violence. The terrorist acts in New York City and London took place largely in this environment, showing, among other things, the urgent need to close development gaps.

Only after the underdeveloped nations gain reasonable growth and prosperity will the world walk out of the old traps of poverty and conflict. As a Chinese saying goes, "The way to protect the rich to the fullest is to help the poor gain a better life." Indeed, with a more progressive mindset, the developed world would be able to make more contributions to global development in the next stage.

Despite all the imperfections, the convergent movement of global civilizations cannot be reversed. A new world power balance will have to replace the old one. Furthermore, this new world order will emerge gradually and most likely indirectly. This is so simply because military conflicts in the old will no longer do nations any good. Indeed, as more developing nations achieve progress, life on this planet will be more peaceful and rational.

This Small Book

This book examines China's new lessons and their implications for the world. The aim is to identify the key factors that will promote more positive changes for China and for peoples everywhere.

Despite all the changes, China's fundamental weakness is still the overextended, self-appointed bureaucracy, which is inherently self-serving. Moreover, countless government officials employ the unchallenged state power to enrich themselves. In the past five years alone, some 200,000 corrupt officials have been arrested. Unlimited bureaucratic power is the mother of corruption.

To abolish this massive bureaucracy remains the number one task for the Chinese civilization. To move ahead, China must rebuild its government, society, and economy completely. So far, China has taken the very first step, the most significant one, in this brave new direction. Getting the job done remains a mighty task.

When I wrote this book, I had two convictions. The first was that studying China's new development in relation to global development might help one better understand our changing world as well as opportunities and challenges in the new century. The second conviction was that the lessons from China are universally meaningful, for they concern people's lives as well as development issues. Above all, development is a global issue that affects lives everywhere.

This book consists of 26 chapters, which are organized into eight parts:

I. China's New Role in the World
II. The Yuan, Trade, and Investment
III. China's Fast-Changing Society, Politics, and Economy
IV. China's Banking, Insurance, and Stock Market Reforms
V. Chinese Multinationals vs. Global Giants
VI. The Taiwan Issue: Current Affairs and Trends
VII. India vs. China: Moving Ahead at the Same Time; and
VIII. The Japan-China Issue: Evolving Relations in Light of History

这次他从四个方面阐述：首先，中国正在经历工业化和商品化，百姓普遍比过去富裕。商品由长期以来英、美、德国主导，转变为"中国制造"遍天下，墨西哥、越南、印尼等发展中国家追赶的脚步也没有停歇过。许多发展中国家融入到全球经济一体化中来，可悲的是，低成本劳动力是唯一有优势的手段，这似乎成了富国和穷国合作交流的平台。今天，大多数发展中国家资源优势已非常有限，对于我们来说，这是一个生存成本差距悬殊的世界。事实上，除了廉价劳动力和勤奋工作，我们拿得出手的已几乎没有了。原来劳动力成本低、艰苦奋斗曾创造了经济奇迹，现在制造业活动，尤其是价值链低端产业日益转向穷国，发达国家则越来越集中于服务业和高科技，这个巨大改变只是开始，未来将对世界经济发展影响更为深远。

其次，各区域市场的相互连接。开放带来相互依存，更为深刻而富有戏剧性的资金、技术、商品、人才流动达到了一个新水平。

<再次，财富不断创新高，拜金主义所向披靡。这是一个真正的资本主义黄金时代，资本无孔不入可达全球每个角落，在人类历史上这是首次。跨国企业有前所未有的权力——经济霸权。全球贸易份额的50%为跨国企业控制，且仍在增加。其实，各国都在热烈追捧跨国企业，招商引资、经济特区遍地开花。

第四，数以亿计的人加入到创业行列，创业不再为少数人特有。个体、私营经济繁荣。

该书暂无中文版，分八个部分26章，以一个海外人士从旁观角度冷眼审视，不管旁观者清浑，换一个角度看看我们的国家应有些东西可供借鉴，或许对投资大有帮助也未可知。

·         Participate in the “Uhuru Summer Against State Terror” campaign to stand up against the City’s escalating attacks on the African community

“The African community in Philadelphia faces the highest imprisonment and poverty rates in the U.S., and we recognize that these conditions are imposed by the U.S. government and carried out daily by the Nutter administration,” says African People’s Socialist Party Northeast Regional Outreach Director Ajamu Bandele.

 

Alison Hoehne, Chair of the African People’s Solidarity Committee in Philadelphia says,

“We are calling for action and for the white community to speak out against the escalation of attacks against the black community in Philadelphia and around the country.   We believe the real violence, and the real crime is the brutal conditions imposed by the City government on black and Puerto Rican communities including:

            • Police murders of 22 people in 2006 alone – no police have been prosecuted

            • 50% of black men in Philadelphia are unemployed

            • Students in Philadelphia schools were under-funded by $4972 per student in 2006, while Lower Merion students were over-funded by $5146

            • Only18% of Philadelphians have college degrees, and up to 50% of those in city jails were unemployed when arrested

            • Over 40% of Philadelphians live below the poverty level
