Bush Bin Laden Bonanza
Bush's Steal Billions of Dollars :
Bush Admits to Receiving Pre-release of Terrorist Propaganda
George W. Bush, speaking about the CIA public relations exercise
promoting the Bush spokesman Osama Bin Laden stated in Sidney on Sep 8,
2007: "I found it interested that on the tape Iraq was mentioned,
which is a reminder that Iraq is part of the war against extremists. If
al-Qaida bothers to mention Iraq, it's because they want to achieve
their objectives in Iraq, which is to drive us out" source:

Since when does
the U.S. gear up to promote a 'terrorist announcement'?
Recognize the terrorist spin doctors are our own government lead
by the judicially appointed president Bush. The
evidence is irrefutable, Bush/Cheney, the CIA, FBI and FEMA
planned, orchestrated and carried out the 9/11 attacks: See
9/11 & Pearl Harbor;
9/11 Demolition;
Gov Empl. "911 Inside
Job";
Experts/Officials - Inside Job - Bush here is clearly
marketing Bin Laden.
Big 5 media owners and CIA gears up announcement from G.W. Bush spokesman, Osama Bin
Laden:
Sep. 10, 2007 Craig Crawford’s
Trail Mix: Bin Laden Boosts Bush Again “..the
political effect of bin Laden’s rare appearances on video these
past few years suggest that he and Bush have two things in common:
Keeping the president in office and keeping U.S. troops in Iraq.”
Bush in his statement made on Sep 8, 2007, clearly claimed to have
already seen the video so did other web sites. The question we must ask is
how come major media ramped up to release the video on 9/11 when it was
already out there?
However, as in the last so-called Osama tape, this tape is also being
declared by experts as yet another poor forgery. See:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/dotmil/arkin020199.htm;
http://www.infowars.net/articles/september2007/100907BinLaden.htm;
This further blatant
deception, can only be weighed up against any individual's belief that
the Bankster/Bush government was not intimately involved in the 9/11 attacks and
the utterly unrelated invasion of Iraq. See
9/11 & Pearl Harbor;
9/11 Demolition; Gov Empl. "911 Inside
Job"; Experts/Officials -
Inside Job
NOTE: Osama Bin Laden was an arch enemy of Saddam Hussein.
Prior to the illegal violent terrorist act by the U.S. in the
invasion of Iraq, Al Quaeda and Osama Bin Laden had no influence in
Iraq. Bush and his
Banksters clearly
orchestrated this Osama Bin Laden 'terrorist threat' to justify their
war, however, there never was any Iraqi link.
When Hussein started selling his oil in Euro's instead of the
privately held Federal Reserve Bank's dollar notes, prompting the
invasion of Iraq, the share
holders of the Federal Reserve Bank immediately lost billions
of dollars in profits. When Oil is sold in Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)
dollar notes, the buyer first has to buy dollar bills from the FRB.
Profit from the sale of the dollar bills goes directly to the owners
of the FRB, the U.S. public gains absolutely
nothing. The largest share holder of the FRB
are the Rothschild's. See: Fed

Salem Bin Laden and Khalid bin Mahfouz bail out George W. Bush's
Company Harken
1988: Bin Ladens Bail Out George W. Bush: Prior to this year, President George W. Bush is a failed oilman. Three
times, friends and investors have bailed him out to keep his business
from going bankrupt. However, in 1988, the same year his father becomes
president, some Saudis buy a portion of his small company, Harken, which
has never performed work outside of Texas. Later in the year, Harken
wins a contract in the Persian Gulf and starts doing well financially.
These transactions seem so suspicious that the Wall Street Journal in
1991 states it “raises the question of ... an effort to cozy up to a
presidential son.” Two major investors in Bush’s company during this
time are Salem bin Laden and Khalid bin Mahfouz. [Salon, 11/19/2001;
Intelligence Newsletter, 3/2/2000] Salem bin Laden is Osama’s oldest
brother; Khalid bin Mahfouz is a Saudi banker with a 20 percent stake in
BCCI. The bank will be shut down a few years later and bin Mahfouz will
have to pay a $225 million fine (while admitting no wrongdoing) (see
October 2001)). [Forbes, 3/18/2002]

Bush Family Attorneys Run Terrorists Escrow Account
Texas: Prosecutors applied the label of "un-indicted co-conspirator"
to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of
North America, and the North American Islamic Trust in connection with a
July trial in Texas for five officials of a defunct charity, the Holy
Land Foundation for Relief and Development.
US Prosecutors accused American Islamic Groups Named of funding Hamas Terrorists, Holy Land Foundation (HLF), the Council
on Arab Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT).
The Director of CAIR, Nihad Awad, is on trial with other HLF defendants
and has been directly connected by FBI testimony as working for Hamas
terrorists and Sami Al Arian. Nihad Awad got together with George W. Bush when Bush was
governor of Texas.
Bush family attorneys, Akin and Gump, ran the escrow account for
"Holy Land Foundation" (HLF). Wealthy Saudi billionaire banker, Khalid
Mahfouz, was a HLF board member and financed the Bushes in Arbusto and
Harken energy. Even though MSNBC has reported that Khalid Mahfouz
Continues AlQaeda & Hamas Funding for Saudis, Mahfouz has aggressively
used British lawsuits to sue US book authors Rachel Erhenfeld (Funding
Evil) and Robert Collins and J. Millard Burr (Alms for Jihad) who have
written about Mahfouz ties to Hamas and Muslim terror funding. Mahfouz
protestations of innocence in England’s liberal courts are seriously
brought into question by a September 13, 2001 report by France's foreign
intelligence agency, revealing that Bin Mahfouz was known to be one of
the architects of a banking scheme constructed for the benefit of
AlQaeda’s Osama bin Laden. The report also claims that both U.S. and
British intelligence services had knowledge of this. See Legal Terror:
Bush Backer MAHFOUZ Sues to Destroy Two Books Exposing Muslim Terror
Funding.
On March 18, 2003 NBC Nightly News carried a lengthy report about the
head of one of Saudi Arabia's largest banks, Khalid Bin Mahfouz. NBC
reported that Mafhouz was continuing to transfer large amounts of funds
from Saudi Arabia to AlQaeda. Khalid Mahfouz is known to have
transferred funds to Hamas and the PLO to help suicide bombers and their
families in Israel. Khalid Mahfouz is known to have provided funds for
the bombing of the USS Cole. Khalid Mahfouz is known to have
provided funding for the suicide hijackers involved in 9/11 according to
a trillion dollar lawsuit filed by the families of the victims of 9/11.
Khalid Mahfouz is closely aligned with Bin Laden family interests around
the world and in the US at one time directly through Holy Land
foundation and InfoCom in Dallas.
The Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Republican Governor, Tom Keene
of New Jersey, has had long time business and campaign ties to Khalid
Mahfouz.
President G. W. Bush was financially backed at Harken Energy by Khalid
Mahfouz. Bush attorneys at Adkin and Gump represented Khalid Mhafouz and
InfoCom and HolyLand Foundation in Dallas.
USF Professor AlArian had ties to Bin Laden, Holy land and Khalid
Mahfouz for over a decade and met with G. W. Bush even when Bush was warned
not to meet with AlArian.
In early 2001 G. W. Bush ordered the FBI to back off investigating Bin
Laden business operations in the US being run at InfoCom and HolyLand
Foundation. The records of HolyLand and InfoCom were seized in a raid on
Sept 5, 2001 just before the 9/11 attacks. The records that implicate
Mahfouz, Bin Laden, AlArian and Bush direct ties have been withheld from
a Federal Grand Jury investigating InfoCom.
Censorship in the U.S.: Cambridge University Press destroyed all
unsold copies of the 2006 book, "Alms for Jihad," by American authors
Robert Collins and J. Millard Burr which implicated Mahfouz. The
'burning of books' is very similar to Hitler's actions, so is Bush's
creation of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions
Act and the construction of Concentration Camps throughout the U.S.

Questions Linger About Bushes and BCCI
By Lucy Komisar

Thursday 05 April 2007
New York - Now that the U.S. Congress is investigating the truth of
President George W. Bush's statements about the Iraq war, they might
look into one of his most startling assertions: that there was a link
between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Critics dismissed that as an invention. They were wrong. There was a
link, but not the one Bush was selling. The link between Hussein and Bin
Laden was their banker, BCCI. But the link went beyond the dictator and
the jihadist - it passed through Saudi Arabia and stretched all the way
to George W. Bush and his father.
BCCI was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, a dirty
offshore bank that then-president Ronald Reagan's Central Intelligence
Agency used to run guns to Hussein, finance Osama bin Laden, move money
in the illegal Iran-Contra operation and carry out other "agency" black
ops. The Bushes also benefited privately; one of the bank's largest
Saudi investors helped bail out George W. Bush's troubled oil
investments.
BCCI was founded in 1972 by a Pakistani banker, Agha Hasan Abedi,
with the support of Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi
and head of the United Arab Emirates. Its corporate strategy was money
laundering. It became the banker for drug and arms traffickers, corrupt
officials, financial fraudsters, dictators and terrorists.
The CIA used BCCI Islamabad and other branches in Pakistan to funnel
some of the two billion dollars that Washington sent to Osama bin
Laden's Mujahadeen to help fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. It moved
the cash the Pakistani military and government officials skimmed from
U.S. aid to the Mujahadeen. It also moved money as required by the Saudi
intelligence services.
The BCCI operation gave Osama bin Laden an education in offshore
black finance that he would put to use when he organised the jihad
against the United States. He would move money through the Al-Taqwa
Bank, operating in offshore Nassau and Switzerland with two Osama
siblings as shareholders.
At the same time, BCCI helped Saddam Hussein, funneling millions of
dollars to the Atlanta branch of the Italian government-owned Banca
Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL), Baghdad's U.S. banker, so that from 1985 to
1989 it could make four billion dollars in secret loans to Iraq to help
it buy arms.
U.S. Congressman Henry Gonzalez held a hearing on BNL in 1992 during
which he quoted from a confidential CIA document that said the agency
had long been aware that the bank's headquarters was involved in the
U.S. branch's Iraqi loans.
Kickbacks from 15 percent commissions on BNL-sponsored loans were
channeled into bank accounts held for Iraqi leaders via BCCI offices in
the Caymans as well as in offshore Luxembourg and Switzerland. BNL was a
client of Kissinger Associates, and Henry Kissinger was on the bank's
international advisory board, along with Brent Scowcroft, who would
become George Bush Sr.'s national security advisor. That connection
makes the Bush administration's surprise and indignation at "oil for
food" payoffs in Iraq seem disingenuous.
Important Saudis were influential in the bank. Sheik Kamal Adham,
brother-in-law of the late Saudi King Faisal, head of Saudi intelligence
from 1963 to 1979, and the CIA's liaison in the area, became one of
BCCI's largest shareholders. George Bush Sr. knew Adham from his time
running the CIA in 1975.
Another investor was Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, who succeeded
Adham as Saudi intelligence chief. The family of Khalid Salem bin
Mahfouz, owner of the National Commercial Bank, the largest bank in
Saudi Arabia, banker to King Fahd and other members of the ruling
family, bought 20 to 30 percent of the stock for nearly one billion
dollars. Bin Mahfouz was put on the board of directors.
The Arabs' interest in the bank was more than financial. A classified
CIA memo on BCCI in the mid-1980s said that "its principal shareholders
are among the power elite of the Middle East, including the rulers of
Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, and several influential Saudi
Arabians. They are less interested in profitability than in promoting
the Muslim cause."
The Bushes' private links to the bank passed to Bin Mahfouz through
Texas businessman James R. Bath, who invested money in the United States
on behalf of the Saudi regime. In 1976, when Bush was the head of the
CIA, the agency sold some of the planes of Air America, a secret
"proprietary" airline it used during the Vietnam War, to Skyway, a
company owned by Bath and Bin Mahfouz. Bath then helped finance George
W. Bush's oil company, Arbusto Energy Inc., in 1979 and 1980.
When Harken Energy Corp., which had absorbed Arbusto (by then merged
with Spectrum 7 Energy), got into financial trouble in 1987, Jackson
Stephens of the powerful, politically-connected Arkansas investment firm
helped it secure 25 million dollars in financing from the Union Bank of
Switzerland. As part of that deal, a place on the board was given to
Harken shareholder Sheik Abdullah Taha Bakhsh, whose chief banker was
BCCI shareholder Bin Mahfouz.
Then, in 1988, George Bush Sr. was elected president. Harken
benefited by getting some new investors, including Salem bin Laden,
Osama bin Laden's half-brother, and Khalid bin Mahfouz. Osama bin Laden
himself was busy elsewhere at the time - organising al Qaeda.
The money BCCI stole before it was shut down in 1991 - somewhere
between 9.5 billion and 15 billion dollars - made its 20-year heist the
biggest bank fraud in history. Most of it was never recovered.
International banks' complicity in the offshore secrecy system
effectively covered up the money trail.
But in the years after the collapse of BCCI, Khalid bin Mahfouz was
still flush with cash. In 1992, he established the Muwafaq ("blessed
relief") Foundation in the offshore Channel Islands. The U.S. Treasury
Department called it "an al Qaeda front that receives funding from
wealthy Saudi businessmen."
When the BCCI scandal began to break in the late 1980s, the Sr. Bush
administration did what it could to sit on it. The Justice Department
went after the culprits - was virtually forced to - only after New York
District Attorney Robert Morgenthau did. But evidence about BCCI's
broader links exist in numerous U.S. and international investigations.
Now could be a good time to take another look at the BCCI-Osama-Saddam-Saudi-Bush
connection.
