IRAQ'S SADDAM HUSSEIN, GEORGE BUSH, AND THE OIL KICK-BACKS
|
|
==========================================================
|

By Sherman H. Skolnick

----------------------
|
|
|
|
What do the press fakers really tell us about Iraq? For example,
|
|
in October, 1990, at the time of the Persian Gulf conflict, there
|
|
was an unpublicized case in the Chicago Federal District Court
|
|
(No. 90 C 6863). The Illinois Bank Commissioner sought an
|
|
injunction against the Federal Reserve Board to stop them from
|
|
turning over certain bank records to the House Banking Committee.
|
|
The records were those of the Chicago branch of Italy's largest
|
|
[bank], Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, owned in part by the Vatican.
|
|
|
|
Called BNL, it had records of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein and
|
|
his secret private joint business dealings with his partner, an
|
|
American. A close crony of the Federal Reserve, Chicago Federal
|
|
District Judge Brian Barnett Duff, ordered the return of any
|
|
records from the Banking Committee, then headed by a Democrat,
|
|
Rep. Henry Gonzalez (D., Texas).
|
|
|
|
The House Banking Committee was an intervening party-litigant in
|
|
the controversy. Judge Duff so opposed the House Banking
|
|
Committee's efforts to get those records, that the Judge would
|
|
not listen to the Committee's attorney; did not want the attorney
|
|
in the Judge's courtroom, the Judge calling him an 800 pound
|
|
gorilla showing no respect for the court.
|
|
|
|
In May, 1991, right after the War ended in the Persian Gulf, the
|
|
case ended up in the Federal Appeals Court in Chicago; a court
|
|
dominated by Judges tied to the major banks and cronies of the
|
|
Federal Reserve. I was the only journalist at the hearing.
|
|
Afterwards, in the back of the courtroom, two hearing
|
|
participants confirmed to me that the records were about George
|
|
Bush being Saddam Hussein's secret private business partner.
|
|
Later, only one sizeable newspaper dared publish my report
|
|
("Spotlight," August 19, 1991).
|
|
|
|
The appeals court decision was to be made several months later.
|
|
In the meantime, President Bush got his crooked Justice
|
|
Department to circulate blackmail whispers that one of the
|
|
3-judge panel of that appeal, Judge Richard Posner (now Chief
|
|
Judge) took bribes in 8 other cases -- which we already knew to
|
|
be true! Strange, but later the blackmail apparently succeeded.
|
|
The federal appeals panel ordered the case entirely removed, so
|
|
to speak, from the courthouse. We have one of the few copies of
|
|
the court record.
|
|
|
|
The hearing participants, in May, 1991, had told me that
|
|
revealing the records would tend to undermine the bank
|
|
regulator's supervision of banks and would cause an international
|
|
incident and possibly a run on banks, and the banking system.
|
|
|
|
Confirmed to me was what the records were all about. Saddam
|
|
Hussein was considered the Bully Boy of the Persian Gulf from
|
|
1980 to 1990. (Saddam had been created as the dictator of Iraq
|
|
in the late 1970s, right about or after the time Bush was
|
|
Director of Central Intelligence -- Bush and the CIA created
|
|
Saddam.) All the Persian Gulf oil producers secretly gave
|
|
kick-backs to Saddam of 25 percent of the one trillion dollars of
|
|
oil shipped to the West in that decade. For the 1980s, that came
|
|
out to about 25 billion dollars per year, or 250 billion dollars
|
|
for ten years, Saddam shared with his secret partner George Bush
|
|
and Bush's cronies.
|
|
|
|
With that loot, Saddam Hussein became one of the richest men on
|
|
the planet. He has been one of the largest owners of the French
|
|
company, Matra, which owns the People Mover system at O'Hare
|
|
International Airport, Chicago -- moving people and baggage to
|
|
the airplanes. U.S. officials mouth off about airport security.
|
|
What a joke! The Iraqi is also the owner of Hachette, owners of
|
|
several U.S. magazines. (Do they propagandize for Iraq?)
|
|
Saddam's half-brother in Switzerland said if CIA murders Saddam,
|
|
the records will be released putting Bush in prison for treason.
|
|
|
|
With his share of the oil kick-back loot, Bush owns reportedly
|
|
most of the real estate in or near Silicon Valley, California,
|
|
home of high tech (reportedly through a company front called
|
|
Hidalgo -- Bush likes Hispanic names). Bush is also a major
|
|
owner of Pennzoil that corrupted the Texas Supreme Court to put a
|
|
competitor, Texaco, into false bankruptcy, largest of its kind,
|
|
12 billion dollars. And Bush as Vice President, later President,
|
|
corrupted the U.S. Supreme Court to favor his firm, Pennzoil,
|
|
when the Texaco case got there. Texaco, dominated thus by
|
|
Pennzoil, has been tied to oil shipped from Iraq.
|
|
|
|
On behalf of the Jackson Stephens bond house, largest outside of
|
|
Wall Street, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vincent W. Foster, Jr.,
|
|
arranged for BNL and its companion/twin, Bank of Credit and
|
|
Commerce International [BCCI], to spread out in the U.S. with
|
|
several branches. (One sizeable paper, "Spotlight," Oct. 1991,
|
|
published my report of BCCI bribing both houses of Congress, 108
|
|
Representatives and some 28 U.S. Senators.)
|
|
|
|
Also, Foster and Mrs. Clinton secretly arranged, with George Bush
|
|
and others {1}, to have weapons shipments from U.S. firms to
|
|
Iraq. Some were disguised as Agriculture Department loans
|
|
through BNL-Atlanta (the role of Bush/Foster/Hillary was
|
|
concealed.) Mrs. Clinton was either a director and/or lawyer
|
|
arranging strategy of some of the weapons makers. And there is a
|
|
tie-in reportedly through a shadowy character called Barbouti of
|
|
Houston and Cardoen {2}, Miami and Chile, with
|
|
Bush/Foster/Hillary, with secret shipments to Iraq of U.S.
|
|
chemicals to make poison gas to use against U.S. troops.
|
|
|
|
Notice these dates: July 17, 1993, there was a plot, believed to
|
|
be genuine, by CIA and others in the U.S., to assassinate Saddam
|
|
Hussein. Major papers in the U.S. did not publish the same until
|
|
on or about 11/1/93. The plot was aborted, apparently by high
|
|
White House officials {3}, apparently Clinton himself. Result:
|
|
several Iraqi officials, secretly co-operating with CIA, were
|
|
murdered by Saaddam. Then on July 19, 1993, FBI Director William
|
|
Sessions was sacked by President Clinton because Sessions had an
|
|
elite unit investigating high crimes by Clinton and Bush. The
|
|
next day, Foster, involved in various espionage projects, was
|
|
apparently murdered.
|
|
|
|
No wonder President Clinton and the First Lady have been covering
|
|
up the strange death of Vincent W. Foster, Jr.
|
|
|
|
We, as ordinary Americans, are in a season of treachery in high
|
|
places. WHAT IS THE REASON, NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON?
|

---------------------------<< Notes >>---------------------------
|
|
{1} Regarding the Clinton-Bush connection, see *Boy Clinton*, by
|
|
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., which documents a meeting between Bill
|
|
Clinton and George Bush in Portland, Maine and at Bush's
|
|
Kennebunkport home.
|
|
|
|
{2} Regarding Cardoen, recall the following from CN 8.75:
|
|
|
|
BOB IRVIN:
|
|
Carlos Cardoen? Did you ever run across him?
|
|
|
|
GENE TATUM:
|
|
No.
|
|
|
|
BOB IRVIN:
|
|
He was from Chile. But he came up and had meetings in the
|
|
States, private little meetings. I think one was with
|
|
[then-CIA Director] Gates in southern Florida.
|
|
|
|
ANDREW DUNN:
|
|
Chilean arms dealer. [Cardoen]
|
|
|
|
BOB IRVIN:
|
|
He sold the cluster bombs to Saddam [Hussein]. Which we
|
|
gave him the technology for.
|
|
|
|
ANDREW DUNN:
|
|
That was the "Third World shuffle" you were talking about:
|
|
you know, get stuff down to a friendly country where we
|
|
don't have export restrictions.
|
|
|
|
{3} "The plot was aborted, apparently by high White House
|
|
officials..." The phrase, "high White House officials," has
|
|
taken on a whole new meaning of late.
