Rom. 11:32,36
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Then comes The Justice of God
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Mat. 3:12   
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Rev.  6:16   
And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.&lt;/b&gt;</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071964443359803824/posts/default?max-results=100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6071964443359803824/posts/default?start-index=101&amp;max-results=100'/><author><name>Patron St. Stephen Protomartyr  ستيف في فيستا</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='22' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LogQpaPDvio/Tt6N056LJAI/AAAAAAAADek/Z_t8I41uxTY/s220/123.jpg'/></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>257</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>100</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071964443359803824.post-6605119597734659352</id><published>2012-03-01T20:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-03-01T20:56:00.451-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Traditional Catholic Prayers: Leila Hussein: SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS: SEX SELECTIVE ABORTIONS ~ SCANDAL IN BRITAIN</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2012/03/leila-hussein-snippits-and-snappits-sex.html"&gt;Traditional Catholic Prayers: Leila Hussein: SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS: SEX SELECTIVE ABORTIONS ~ SCANDAL IN BRITAIN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once God is blasphemed, then all the rest is evil and utterly depraved. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://traditional-catholic-prayers.blogspot.com/2012/02/culture-leila-hussein-leila-hussein.html"&gt;Traditional Catholic Prayers: Culture: Leila Hussein: Leila Hussein: Right to Life - The Lord Said&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;

The United States, by contrast, has no law in place to restrict sex-selection abortion, establishing the United States as affording less protection from sex-based feticide than the Republic of India or the People’s Republic of China, whose recent practices of sex-selection abortion were vehemently and repeatedly condemned by United States congressional resolutions and by the United States’ Ambassador to the Commission on the Status of Women. Public statements from within the medical community reveal that citizens of other countries come to the United States for sex-selection procedures that would be criminal in their country of origin. Because the United States permits abortion on the basis of sex, the United States may &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5737639979248917027" id="AdBriteInlineAd_effectively" name="AdBriteInlineAd_effectively" target="_top" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: url(http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/green-double-underline-006600.gif); background-attachment: scroll; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; cursor: pointer; margin-bottom: -2px; padding-bottom: 2px; background-position: 50% 100%; background-repeat: repeat no-repeat; "&gt;effectively&lt;/a&gt; function as a ‘safe haven’ for those who seek to have American physicians do what would otherwise be criminal in their home countries–a sex-selection abortion, most likely late-term."&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt; ~ &lt;a href="http://deathby1000papercuts.com/2011/01/hr-1822-bill-proposes-to-outlaw-sex-selection-abortions/" style="text-decoration: none; "&gt;DBKB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;By &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.ruvr.ru/by_author/66818643/" style="text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;Olga Sobolevskaya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_02_28/67095842/" style="text-decoration: none; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;Voice of Russia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;February 28, 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Sex-selective abortions have stirred a scandal in Britain. According to The Daily Telegraph, many British doctors are ready to do abortions to those women who are dissatisfied over the sex of the future child. Meanwhile, experts question whether the epidemic of sex-selective abortions, which has spread to many countries in Asia and Africa, will spread to other European countries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;After the investigation by the daily’s journalists, British Health Minister Andrew Lansley said he was worried. “Sex selection is illegal and is morally wrong,” he added. The Health Ministry has launched an investigation into the scandalous incidents. Experts say that if the British hospitals have long practiced sex-selective abortions, the country will face a sex imbalance in the near future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Numerical sex disproportion has already been registered in several countries in Asia and Europe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Clear cut numerical superiority of boys over girls can be seen now not only in China and India where preference is traditionally given to male heirs as feeders of the family, but also in Serbia, Bosnia, Greece, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. In these countries, there are from 112 to 120 boys for every 100 girls. And this means that terminations relating to the sex of the foetus are carried out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Here is the first outcome of the sex disbalance: there are 40 million bachelors in China alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Experts say that polygamy, where one woman lives with her husband but at the same time with his unmarried brothers, has been established in India.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;ED: When a man is married to more than one wife at a time, the relationship is called &lt;b&gt;polygyny&lt;/b&gt; and there is no marriage bond between the wives; when a woman is married to more than one husband at a time, it is called &lt;b&gt;polyandry&lt;/b&gt; and there is no marriage bond between the husbands&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;A wave of low birth rates has spread to Europe too, says the Director of the Institute of Demographical Studies, Igor Beloborodov. At present, a growing number of families in Europe have one child each, while the dedicated child-free refuse to have children for the sake of career and a happy life-style. In Germany, the share of such women is about 20 percent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;There is nothing surprising when taking into account the fact that limiting the birth rate originated in Europe, says Igor Beloborodov. A British philosopher of late 18th century Tomas Malthus was one of the first ideologists of depopulation. This idea was supported by other countries, says Igor Beloborodov.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;“Since then, the residents of France, England, Germany and later the Scandinavian countries have distinguished themselves. They used contraceptives and did selective abortions. At present, we see a second wave of limiting the birth rate in an inhuman way in Europe,” Igor Beloborodov said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;In view of this, heated debate is going on in Europe, including Britain on refusing to inform parents about the gender of the future child after scanning. The Council of Europe says this might trigger a growth in selective abortions. Many hospitals have already carried out this recommendation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Demographers believe that women of Asian or African origin agree first and foremost to doing selective abortions. In fact, the demographical stereotypes might change in patriarchal societies, however, scientists do not exclude that sex-selective abortions are a temporary tendency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="text" style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; "&gt;Latest news from China confirms this.

But will that take place before the coming of Antichrist? It is, if not impossible, at leastextremely difficult to see how it should be otherwise. According to St. John (in Apoc. 14), the reign of the man of sin will be the second last scourge of the world. He will abolish public worship, and the Church, instead of being consoled by the efforts of her children to achieve new conquests, will see with poignant grief many of them abandon her to follow her declared enemy and persecutor. The diffusion of the Gospel will therefore be universal before Antichrist will appear on the scene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.55pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;It is true that from the very birth of Christianity the Apostles preached the Gospel to all the nations then living upon earth. (Ps. 18:5). But when Our Lord spoke, He had in view not only the preaching of, but also the diffusion of the Gospel and its acceptation by all nations. The royal prophet (Ps. 21 :28) says, "All the people of the earth shall remember and shall be converted to the Lord; and all the kindreds of the gentiles shall adore in his sight." St. Prosper (&lt;i&gt;de &lt;span&gt;liber arbit, &lt;/span&gt;ad &lt;span&gt;Rufi&lt;/span&gt;num&lt;/i&gt;) challenges anyone to point out a single nation in which the standard of the cross will not have been planted and received. He founds the truth of his assertion on the following passage of Holy Writ: Did not God the Father say to His Son: Ask Me and I will give Thee the nations of the earth for Thy inheritance, and Thy possessions shall be limited only by the extremities of the earth? St. John in the &lt;i&gt;Apocalypse &lt;/i&gt;(7:9) says, "I saw a great multitude, which no man could count, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hands."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 9.8pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;That the Gospel must be preached and received everywhere does not imply any more than what can be morally done, since the doctrine of the Church will be morally opposed till the end of time. But when will the Gospel be sufficiently diffused? When will it have borne sufficient fruits in the designsof God to require no further delay to the second coming of Christ? These are questions which cannot be answered at present. This knowledge is the secret of that divine wisdom which alone has built the tower of heaven, penetrated the depths of the abyss, walked on the waves of the sea, and traversed the extremities of the universe. &lt;i&gt;(Ecclesiasticus&lt;/i&gt;24:8).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 9.8pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;strong&gt;II.

Commentators of the Bible contend that this empire is explicitly pointed out and described by the prophet Daniel under the form of a statue, the head of which is gold, and represents the Persian empire; the body and thighs are of brass and represent the Grecian empire; the legs being of iron, the feet partly iron and partly clay, represent the Roman empire. (Dan. 2 :32, etc.).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.55pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;The feet of this statue had ten toes, which represent the ten kings who will divide the kingdom among them. The same prophet also saw four kingdoms under the form of four beasts (Dan. 7), the latter of which had ten horns, which were broken and divided among the despoilers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.55pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;According to some commentators, when Rome relapses into idolatry, it shall be destroyed and burned by those ten kings by order of Antichrist. (Cornelius a Lap. in &lt;i&gt;Apoc.&lt;/i&gt;). St. John gives a description of a beast with seven heads and ten horns. On this beast is seated a woman, who represents the city seated on its seven hills, which in turn are represented by the seven beasts.&lt;i&gt;(Apoc. &lt;/i&gt;17:1,3,9). The ten horns are ten kings, enemies of Rome, who will pillage and destroy it. (&lt;i&gt;Dan.&lt;/i&gt; 7:8, etc.; &lt;i&gt;Apoc. &lt;/i&gt;17:12 &amp;amp; 16). Such is the manner in which the Fathers have always interpreted the foregoing prophecies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.55pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;In his second epistle to the Thessalonians, St. Paul, wishing to disabuse them of a false notion they had relative to the immediate coming of Our Saviour, says to them (2 &lt;i&gt;Thes. &lt;/i&gt;2 :2-3 &amp;amp; 6-7): "Let no man deceive you by any means; for unless there corne a revoIt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, the day of the Lord is not yet at hand. . . And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time, for the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way, and then that wicked one shall be revealed." This text, obscure in itself, has been interpreted in the same manner by St. Ambrose (&lt;em&gt;in &lt;/em&gt;2&lt;em&gt; Ep. ad Galat.&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;em&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;by St. Jerome (&lt;em&gt;quae st. &lt;/em&gt;2&lt;em&gt; ad Algarium&lt;/em&gt;), by St. Chrysostom (&lt;em&gt;ham. &lt;/em&gt;4&lt;em&gt; in hanc epist.&lt;/em&gt;), by St. Hippolytus (&lt;em&gt;de Anti-christo&lt;/em&gt;), by St. Irenaeus (&lt;em&gt;lib.&lt;/em&gt; V &lt;em&gt;haeres,&lt;/em&gt; C. 25 &lt;em&gt;et&lt;/em&gt; 26). All the Fathers hold as apostolic tradition that St. Paul wished to designate the Roman empire in the above passage and which they explain as follows: Let the hands which hold at present the reins of the empire hold them until it is completely destroyed. The Apostle did not wish to express himself more clearly than he did, as he did not wish to wound the Roman pride. At Rome the city was believed to be eternal, and it was deemed blasphemous to deny it - a crime that merited the severest punishment. Hence it was that the surest means of securing the Christians' condemnation was to accuse them of being enemies of the Roman empire. The first apologists of Christianity labored assiduously to refute this calumny and remove the public prejudice which it created against the Christians. Tertullian (in &lt;i&gt;Apologet, &lt;/i&gt;C. 32) says that the Christians pray for the preservation of the Empire, the ruin of which would entail so many frightful disasters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 9.8pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;It appears certain, then, that the Roman empire will be completely demolished by Antichrist and that he will substitute another in its place. The Scriptures affirm it; the Fathers almost unanimously assert it; St. Augustine &lt;i&gt;(lib.&lt;/i&gt;20 &lt;i&gt;de&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Civit., &lt;/i&gt;C. 19) explicitly says that he cannot see how the text of St. Paul can be otherwise interpreted, nor how to give to Theodoret's opinion another meaning. Lactance says that the Roman empire, which today governs the world - terrible to say, but true for all - will be swept from the face of the earth. The empire shall return to Asia; the oriental countries shall reign once more and lord it over the Western nations. &lt;i&gt;(Lib. &lt;/i&gt;7, 15). But it is as difficult to understand what is meant here by the word "empire" and to determine its duration as to find the solution to Jacob's problem relative to the permanency of the scepter in Judea. (Gen. 49:10). Some are of opinion that the destruction of the Roman empire and its division among the ten kings will not be the immediate prelude to the apparition of Antichrist. Those ten kings may have successors whose reign may be indefinitely prolonged till the advent of the last conqueror. St. John seems to favor this opinion when he says that "those kings shall receive their power for an hour."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 9.8pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;While others believe that the Sacred Scriptures and the Fathers explicitly teach that the coming of Antichrist will take place immediately after the destruction of the empire by the ten kings. According to this opinion, some theologians maintain that the temporal Roman empire has never ceased to exist. In the beginning of the Christian era its sway prevailed over the known world. And if in some parts it has been deposed, it has always existed and still exists, at least virtually, under some shape or form, and shall thus continue to exist till the end of time. To prove this assertion, they compare it to the legs of the statue mentioned in the prophecy of Daniel. When one of the legs of this statue fell, the other did not fall, and the one that fell represents the downfall of the Western Empire, while the standing leg represents the Eastern Empire, which still exists. But it shall fall, as stated in the prophecy. Through the intervention of the Popes, Providence has long since restored the Empire in the person of Charlemagne. It passed from France to Germany, and hence the temporal succession of the Roman Emperors has been perpetuated to our time. (Bellarm. de summa&lt;i&gt;Pontit.). &lt;/i&gt;It is true that the title of Roman Emperor exists no longer; there is, however, as yet a temporal monarchy at Rome which is quite sufficient in the esteem of the supporters of this opinion to save the truth of the prophecy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.3pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;If this opinion be true, we might perhaps say that the end is near at hand. We say "perhaps", for Almighty God has not yet said the last word relative to this redoubtable Roman question on which hangs the destiny of the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 10.3pt; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;But other theologians maintain. that the prophecy refers to the spiritual power of Rome. The Roman Empire is not destroyed says St. Thomas (in 2 Thes. 2); it is only transformed, that is, the temporal power has become spiritual as St. Leo remarks in the feast of the Holy Apostles. Hence, the disaffection of which the Apostle speaks is a revolt not only against the temporal empire, but also against the spiritual empire. that is, against the faith of the Roman Church. And further on he adds "that many must yet receive the faith, and many shall lose it to such an extent that the Church will be desolated and devastated by the great apostasy before the coming of Antichrist."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0.15in; text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; "&gt;By spiritual empire, we do not mean the religious government of individuals alone, but also the introduction of religious principles into the social order. Europe, though divided into several kingdoms, has felt the religious action of Rome in its laws and public institutions. The great ancient pagan empire of Rome has become the Christian empire governed by the law of Christ and the law of the Church, which represents Jesus Christ upon earth. This "law" emanates from Rome, the new Sion. &lt;i&gt;(de &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sian&lt;/i&gt;exibit &lt;i&gt;lex; &lt;/i&gt;Is. 2:3). At present the evil tendencies of men lead them to arrest as much as possible the action of the Roman Church on mankind. Were we to form our judgment from the signs of the times the conjured perversity of men who band together for the sole purpose of subverting the Catholic Church, or at least to destroy its influence throughout the world - we feel inclined to think that we see in them the commencement of the final apostasy foretold by St. Paul.

A mystery: the name is not literal but symbolical and its meaning is that it will be revealed in due time. (mystery in Greek is musterion, that is “revealed”). In the final ‘universal recapitulation of evil’ (St. Irenaeus’ expression) the “woman” who is the “great harlot” will be the recapitulation of all the diabolic, demonic, gnostic, infidel, false religion of the world since Adam. In short, today it is the Pan-heresy of the Ecumenical movement (utterly opposed by Mortalium Animus, Pius XI, 1928), which is the culmination of modernist Judeo-Mason blasphemy of: the True God and His Christ and the Holy Spirit. This Pan-heresy is centered at Rome in the Vatican since 1958 especially, and has permeated all churches; this is the great apostasy that St. Paul the Apostle warned us about (see: 2 Thess.2:3, 6, 7). He who holds the great apostasy back (2 Thess: 2:6, 7) until the appointed time is Jesus Christ Himself, according to St. Justin Martyr. The beast that the woman rides is the world’s political-religious systems opposed to the True God, the Trinity, Who is the Creator and Ruler over all. These taken together are the precursor of the final beast of verse 11 which includes all the former systems within it.&lt;br /&gt;[2] -Ver. 11. The beast spoken of here seems to be the Roman Empire, as in chapter 13. At the end of days it will be the final world system opposing Christ and His Church. This world system will be, according to the Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church, the one world empire of the Antichrist who is the son of perdition, headquartered in the rebuilt Solomonic temple in Jerusalem. See 2 Thessalonians 2nd chapter. This is the ultimate Babylon and is utterly damned by Christ and His Church. “Such a secular, earthbound state [Israel] could easily become the political and military power base for the Antichrist when he comes. For the Antichrist will be in perfect accord with the ideals of such a Zionist state. Moreover, the State of Israel has demonstrated that it has the will and ability to go to war and win the secular goals to which its heart is attached. Thus when the Antichrist comes to power as head of such an efficient, superbly equipped, scientific State, founded on nationalism, race and blood, he will be able to conquer the rest of the world. He will be the first, the only Jew to reign with political, economic, military power over the whole world from his capital city, Jerusalem, the city in which Our Lord was crucified” (Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., The Antichrist, p. 152).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;[3] -Ver. 12. One hour: ten other kingdoms are allies of the beast and battle against the Church. But their dominion is short; typified as an hour. These occur at the same time and not in succession.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;[4] -Ver. 17. The Greek text reads: “. . . to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;do his purpose and to make common cause and to give their kingdom. . . :”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;[5] –Ver. 18. …great city which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.: at the time that the Apocalypse was seen and recorded by St. John the Apostle, that city was Rome, Italy, of the seven hills (1 – Janiculum with the Vatican on the lower slope today, 2 – Aventine, 3 – Palatine with the Capitoline and the Tiburtine oracle, 4 – Caelian, 5 – Esquiline, 6 – Viminal, 7 – Quirinal), in the future it will be Jerusalem of the seven hills (1 – The Citadel, 2 – Acra, 3 – Temple Mount, 4 – Mount of Olives, 5 – Mt. Scopus, 6 – Mt Zion, 7 – Golgotha) when the Antichrist rules from there. The eighth head which is a king and has dominion over the kingdoms of the earth and therefore is identified with that world wide (ecumenical in the narrow sense) kingdom as well, was Caesar, in the days of ancient Rome. Caesar was ruler over Rome, the Pontifex Maximus (head of all Roman religion) and Princeps Senatus – first member by precedence of the Roman Senate (therefore functional dictator without the title); and also the Emperor (Imperator) over the Roman Empire. In the future the eighth head ruling over Jerusalem and having world wide dominion for a short space will be the Antichrist. The exact arrangement of how that will be enacted is known to God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://theapocalypsethebookoftherevelation.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_2501.html"&gt;The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 13.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://theapocalypsethebookoftherevelation.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_398.html"&gt;The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation: 14.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;h3 align="CENTER"&gt;IRENÆUS&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010694.htm"&gt;IRENÆUS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010695.htm"&gt;Introductory Note to Irenæus - Against Heresies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;h2 align="center"&gt;Against Heresies: Book V&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm"&gt;Chapter XXV.—The fraud, pride, and tyrannical kingdom of Antichrist, as described by Daniel and Paul&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;h3 align="center" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;Chapter XXV.—The fraud, pride, and tyrannical kingdom of Antichrist, as described by Daniel and Paul.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1. &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p1.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;And not only by the particulars already mentioned, but also by means of the events which shall occur in the time of Antichrist is it shown that he, being an apostate and a robber, is anxious to be adored as God; and that, although a mere slave, he wishes himself to be proclaimed as a king. For he (Antichrist) being endued with all the power of the devil, shall come, not as a righteous king, nor as a legitimate king, [i.e., one] in subjection to God, but an impious, unjust, and lawless one; as an apostate, iniquitous and murderous; as a robber, concentrating in himself [all] satanic apostasy, and setting aside idols to persuade [men] that he himself is God, raising up himself as the only idol, having in himself the multifarious errors of the other idols. This he does, in order that they who do [now] worship the devil by means of many abominations, may serve himself by this one idol, of whom the apostle thus speaks in the second Epistle to the Thessalonians: “Unless there shall come a failing away first, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God.” The apostle therefore clearly points out his apostasy, and that he is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped—that is, above every idol —for these are indeed so called by men, but are not [really] gods; and that he will endeavour in a tyrannical manner to set himself forth as God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;2. Moreover, he (the apostle) has also pointed out this which I have shown in many ways, that the temple in Jerusalem was made by the direction of the true God. For the apostle himself, speaking in his own person, distinctly called it the temple of God. Now I have shown in the third book, that no one is termed God by the apostles when speaking for themselves, except Him who truly is God, the Father of our Lord, by whose directions the temple which is at Jerusalem was constructed for those purposes which I have already mentioned; in which [temple] the enemy shall sit, endeavouring to show himself as Christ, as the Lord also declares: “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which has been spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains; and he who is upon the house-top, let him not come down to take anything out of his house: for there shall then be great hardship, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall be.” &lt;a name="fr_4663"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4663"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4664&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p4"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;3. Daniel too, looking forward to the end of the last kingdom, i.e., the ten last kings, amongst whom the kingdom of those men shall be partitioned, and upon whom the son of perdition shall come, declares that ten horns shall spring from the beast, and that another little horn shall arise in the midst of them, and that three of the former shall be rooted up before his face. He says: “And, behold, eyes were in this horn as the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was more stout than his fellows. I was looking, and this horn made war against the saints, and prevailed against them, until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most high God, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.” &lt;a name="fr_4664"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4664"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4665&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then, further on, in the interpretation of the vision, there was said to him: “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall excel all other kingdoms, and devour the whole earth, and tread it down, and cut it in pieces. And its ten horns are ten kings which shall arise; and after them shall arise another, who shall surpass in evil deeds all that were before &lt;a name="page_554"&gt;&lt;span&gt;p. 554&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-Page_554"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;him, and shall overthrow three kings; and he shall speak words against the most high God, and wear out the saints of the most high God, and shall purpose to change times and laws; and [everything] shall be given into his hand until a time of times and a half time,” &lt;a name="fr_4665"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4665"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4666&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that is, for three years and six months, during which time, when he comes, he shall reign over the earth. Of whom also the Apostle Paul again, speaking in the second [Epistle] to the Thessalonians, and at the same time proclaiming the cause of his advent, thus says: “And then shall the wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the spirit of His mouth, and destroy by the presence of His coming; whose coming [i.e., the wicked one’s] is after the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and portents of lies, and with all deceivableness of wickedness for those who perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And therefore God will send them the working of error, that they may believe a lie; that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but gave consent to iniquity,” &lt;a name="fr_4666"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4666"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4667&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;4. The Lord also spoke as follows to those who did not believe in Him: “I have come in my Father’s name, and ye have not received Me: when another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive,” &lt;a name="fr_4667"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4667"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4668&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; calling Antichrist “the other,” because he is alienated from the Lord. This is also the unjust judge, whom the Lord mentioned as one “who feared not God, neither regarded man,” &lt;a name="fr_4668"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4668"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4669&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to whom the widow fled in her forgetfulness of God,—that is, the earthly Jerusalem,—to be avenged of her adversary. Which also he shall do in the time of his kingdom: he shall remove his kingdom into that [city], and shall sit in the temple of God, leading astray those who worship him, as if he were Christ. To this purpose Daniel says again: “And he shall desolate the holy place; and sin has been given for a sacrifice, &lt;a name="fr_4669"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4669"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4670&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and righteousness been cast away in the earth, and he has been active (&lt;i&gt;fecit&lt;/i&gt;), and gone on prosperously.” &lt;a name="fr_4670"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4670"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4671&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; And the angel Gabriel, when explaining his vision, states with regard to this person: “And towards the end of their kingdom a king of a most fierce countenance shall arise, one understanding [dark] questions, and exceedingly powerful, full of wonders; and he shall corrupt, direct, influence (&lt;i&gt;faciet&lt;/i&gt;), and put strong men down, the holy people likewise; and his yoke shall be directed as a wreath [round their neck]; deceit shall be in his hand, and he shall be lifted up in his heart: he shall also ruin many by deceit, and lead many to perdition, bruising them in his hand like eggs.” &lt;a name="fr_4671"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4671"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4672&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; And then he points out the time that his tyranny shall last, during which the saints shall be put to flight, they who offer a pure sacrifice unto God: “And in the midst of the week,” he says, “the sacrifice and the libation shall be taken away, and the abomination of desolation [shall be brought] into the temple: even unto the consummation of the time shall the desolation be complete.” &lt;a name="fr_4672"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4672"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4673&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Now three years and six months constitute the half-week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p15"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;5. From all these passages are revealed to us, not merely the particulars of the apostasy, and [the doings] of him who concentrates in himself every satanic error, but also, that there is one and the same God the Father, who was declared by the prophets, but made manifest by Christ. For if what Daniel prophesied concerning the end has been confirmed by the Lord, when He said, “When ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which has been spoken of by Daniel the prophet” &lt;a name="fr_4673"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4673"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4674&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (and the angel Gabriel gave the interpretation of the visions to Daniel, and he is the archangel of the Creator (&lt;i&gt;Demiurgi&lt;/i&gt;), who also proclaimed to Mary the visible coming and the incarnation of Christ), then one and the same God is most manifestly pointed out, who sent the prophets, and made promise &lt;a name="fr_4674"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fn_4674"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4675&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of the Son, and called us into His knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;h3 align="CENTER" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;Footnotes&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4663"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4663" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;553:4664&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p2.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p3"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/mat024.htm#015"&gt;Matt. 24:15&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/mat024.htm#021"&gt;21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p3.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4664"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4664" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;553:4665&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p4.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p5"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/dan007.htm#008"&gt;Dan. vii. 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p5.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4665"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4665" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;554:4666&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p5.2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p6"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/dan007.htm#023"&gt;Dan. vii. 23&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p6.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4666"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4666" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;554:4667&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p6.2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p7"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/th2002.htm#008"&gt;2 Thess. ii. 8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p7.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4667"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4667" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;554:4668&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p8.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p9"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/joh005.htm#043"&gt;John v. 43&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p9.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4668"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4668" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;554:4669&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p9.2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p10"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/luk018.htm#002"&gt;Luke xviii. 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p10.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name="fn_4669"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010863.htm#fr_4669" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;554:4670&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p10.2"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="endnote" style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvi-p11"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This may refer to Antiochus Epiphanes, Antichrist’s prototype, who offered swine upon the altar in the temple at Jerusalem.

The Gnostics are refuted, those tools of Satan, who invent another Father different from the Creator.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center style="font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;h3 align="center"&gt;Chapter XXVI.—John and Daniel have predicted the dissolution and desolation of the Roman Empire, which shall precede the end of the world and the eternal kingdom of Christ. The Gnostics are refuted, those tools of Satan, who invent another Father different from the Creator.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-p1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1. &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-p1.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In a still clearer light has John, in the Apocalypse, indicated to the Lord’s disciples what shall happen in the last times, and concerning the ten kings who shall then arise, among whom the empire which now rules [the earth] shall be partitioned. He teaches us what the ten horns shall be which were seen by Daniel, telling us that thus it had been said to him: “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet, but shall receive power as if kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and give their strength and power to the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings.” &lt;a name="fr_4675"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4675"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4676&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It is manifest, therefore, that &lt;a name="page_555"&gt;&lt;span&gt;p. 555&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-Page_555"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;of these [potentates], he who is to come shall slay three, and subject the remainder to his power, and that he shall be himself the eighth among them. And they shall lay Babylon waste, and burn her with fire, and shall give their kingdom to the beast, and put the Church to flight. After that they shall be destroyed by the coming of our Lord. For that the kingdom must be divided, and thus come to ruin, the Lord [declares when He] says: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” &lt;a name="fr_4676"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4676"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4677&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It must be, therefore, that the kingdom, the city, and the house be divided into ten; and for this reason He has already foreshadowed the partition and division [which shall take place]. Daniel also says particularly, that the end of the fourth kingdom consists in the toes of the image seen by Nebuchadnezzar, upon which came the stone cut out without hands; and as he does himself say: “The feet were indeed the one part iron, the other part clay, until the stone was cut out without hands, and struck the image upon the iron and clay feet, and dashed them into pieces, even to the end.” &lt;a name="fr_4677"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4677"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4678&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Then afterwards, when interpreting this, he says: “And as thou sawest the feet and the toes, partly indeed of clay, and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided, and there shall be in it a root of iron, as thou sawest iron mixed with baked clay. And the toes were indeed the one part iron, but the other part clay.” &lt;a name="fr_4678"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4678"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4679&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The ten toes, therefore, are these ten kings, among whom the kingdom shall be partitioned, of whom some indeed shall be strong and active, or energetic; others, again, shall be sluggish and useless, and shall not agree; as also Daniel says: “Some part of the kingdom shall be strong, and part shall be broken from it. As thou sawest the iron mixed with the baked clay, there shall be minglings among the human race, but no cohesion one with the other, just as iron cannot be welded on to pottery ware.” &lt;a name="fr_4679"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4679"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4680&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; And since an end shall take place, he says: “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven raise up a kingdom which shall never decay, and His kingdom shall not be left to another people. It shall break in pieces and shatter all kingdoms, and shall itself be exalted for ever. As thou sawest that the stone was cut without hands from the mountain, and brake in pieces the baked clay, the iron, the brass, the silver, and the gold, God has pointed out to the king what shall come to pass after these things; and the dream is true, and the interpretation trustworthy.” &lt;a name="fr_4680"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4680"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4681&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-p8"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;2. &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-p8.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If therefore the great God showed future things by Daniel, and confirmed them by His Son; and if Christ is the stone which is cut out without hands, who shall destroy temporal kingdoms, and introduce an eternal one, which is the resurrection of the just; as he declares, “The God of heaven shall raise up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed,”—let those thus confuted come to their senses, who reject the Creator (&lt;i&gt;Demiurgum&lt;/i&gt;), and do not agree that the prophets were sent beforehand from the same Father from whom also the Lord came, but who assert that prophecies originated from diverse powers. For those things which have been predicted by the Creator alike through all the prophets has Christ fulfilled in the end, ministering to His Father’s will, and completing His dispensations with regard to the human race. Let those persons, therefore, who blaspheme the Creator, either by openly expressed words, such as the disciples of Marcion, or by a perversion of the sense [of Scripture], as those of Valentinus and all the Gnostics falsely so called, be recognised as agents of Satan by all those who worship God; through whose agency Satan now, and not before, has been seen to speak against God, even Him who has prepared eternal fire for every kind of apostasy. For he did not venture to blaspheme his Lord openly of himself; as also in the beginning he led man astray through the instrumentality of the serpent, concealing himself as it were from God. Truly has Justin remarked: &lt;a name="fr_4681"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ecf/001/0010864.htm#fn_4681"&gt;&lt;span&gt;4682&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a name="ix.vii.xxvii-p9.1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;That before the Lord’s appearance Satan never dared to blaspheme God, inasmuch as he did not yet know his own sentence, because it was contained in parables and allegories; but that after the Lord’s appearance, when he had clearly ascertained from the words of Christ and His apostles that eternal fire has been prepared for him as he apostatized from God of his own free-will, and likewise for all who unrepentant continue in the apostasy, he now blasphemes, by means of such men, the Lord who brings judgment [upon him] as being already condemned, and imputes the guilt of his apostasy to his Maker, not to his own voluntary disposition. Just as it is with those who break the laws, when punishment overtakes them: they throw the blame upon those who frame the laws, but not upon themselves. In like manner do those men, filled with a satanic spirit, bring innumerable accusations against our Creator, who has both given to us the spirit of life, and established a law adapted for all; and they will not admit that the judgment of God is just.

color: black; "&gt; -- although they will never admit to this. Former U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, an Austrian, has been accused by many of being an undercover Nazi war criminal. He was allegedly one of several Nazi infiltrators who helped form the 'unofficial' genocidal policies of the UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION. The Genocidal and Population Control plans of the United Nations are not too difficult to document. The U.N. - N.W.O. (UNITED NATIONS - NEW WORLD ORDER) also plans to foment anarchy and race riots in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; "&gt;America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; "&gt; in preparation for the implementation of Executive Orders which will be used to establish martial law and the presence of a UNITED NATIONS "peace keeping force". They will use the excuse that since "we" have sent "peace keepers" to other countries, we in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; "&gt;America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: Arial; color: black; "&gt; are not exempt from U.N. intervention in a time of internal instability. However, these U.N. 'Blue Helmets', once they have established their presence, WILL NEVER LEAVE willingly. Instead they will be used to force Americans to conform to the fascist Bavarian "New World Order" via its "Trojan horse", which is known today as the UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION or U.N.O.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The United Nations via the Security Council was a conduit during the entire Korean War to inform the Communists what the United States was about to do every time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1amendmentcont.blogspot.com/2011/12/broken-cross-part-four.html"&gt;God and His Messiah Jesus Christ our Lord - our right and duty to witness to Him: The Broken Cross - Part Four&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.catholicvoice.co.uk/brokencross/PartFour.htm" style="color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; "&gt;The Broken Cross - Part Four&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="post-header"&gt;&lt;div class="post-header-line-1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6724552997543893156"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.catholicvoice.co.uk/brokencross/PartFour.htm" style="color: rgb(85, 136, 170); text-decoration: none; "&gt;Part Four&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;Part Four&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Devil has recovered his citizenship rights in the Republic of culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Giovanni Papini.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;ublicity flared to its maximum coverage when it was announced, in the summer of 1965, that Pope Paul would visit New York later that year in order to address the United Nations Assembly. It was heralded as an event of the utmost importance that would surely bring results that could not be lost upon the world; but there was also some speculation as to why non-Catholic, and even antiCatholic quarters, were giving rise to much the same bursts of excitement that had marked the election of John XXIII.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Could it be that the same power was pulling wires, behind the scenes, to influence the tone of the Press, radio, and television? We have already assessed, to some extent, the character and the leanings of Paul VI. Let us now glance at the formation and the make-up of the United Nations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;It was primarily Communist in tone, its charter, signed in 1943, being based upon the Constitution of Soviet Russia, while its purpose and principles were decided at a conference of Foreign Ministers held in Moscow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The secretaries of the United Nations’ Security Council, between the years 1946 and 1962, were Arkady Sobelov and Eugeny Kiselev, both Communists. A leading figure of the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was Vladimir Mailmovsky, Communist. The chief secretary for UNESCO was Madame Jegalova, Communist; while the President, Vice-President, and nine judges of the ‘World Court’ were all Communists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Yet these were typical of the people on whom Paul VI lavished praise, and to whom he looked for the salvation of the world; while the Press and radio, subject to the same international control as the United Nations, continues to speak of that body as being worthy of respect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Posing as strictly neutral, and with the declared intention of promoting world peace, it soon showed a definite bias in favour of Communist-inspired guerrilla movements whose object, in several parts of the world, was the overthrow of established governments. This was done under the guise of liberating people from oppression; but the ultimate design of the Assembly, then as now, was to set up a totalitarian system in which national sovereignty and cultures would disappear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Incidental to this, as was made plain by the secondary social and economic organisations that sprang from the Assembly, would be a virtual censorship whose voice was predominantly atheist. For it had been noted that the more orthodox countries such as Italy, Austria, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, were excluded from the Assembly’s original foundation; whereas Bolshevist Russia, from its permanent seat on the Security Council, possessed a veto that could reduce the decisions of the Assembly to a mere expression of words, without effect; a judgment that may fairly be passed on all the deliberations of the United Nations from the day of its founding to the present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;More concrete evidence for these strictures may be adduced when we look at the record of a professional criminal who came to occupy a leading place, by way of the United Nations, in European life. He was Meyer Genoch Moisevitch Vallakh, or Wallach, who, before the 1914 war, emerged from the stormy background of Russian political life as a ‘wanted’ figure who found it safer, and more rewarding, to extend his activities to countries that were, so far, less disturbed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Working under a variety of names, including Buchmann, Maxim Harryson, Ludwig Nietz, David Mordecai, and Finkelstein, he came into the limelight in Paris in 1908, when he took a hand in robbing the Tiflis Bank of two hundred and fifty thousand roubles. He was deported, but soon afterwards was in trouble again for dealing in stolen banknotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;His chance came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought him and his kind to the surface. Now, under the respectable pseudonym of Maxim Litvinoff, he became Soviet Commissioner for Foreign Affairs. His next step was to the Presidency of the Council of the League of Nations. He then arrived in London as Soviet ambassador to the Court of St. James, and as such became a familiar and influential figure in royal and diplomatic circles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;As further evidence of the downward slide in our public and political affairs, it may be noted that the first Secretary-General of the United Nations was Alger Hiss, who had been convicted of perjury in the American courts. He took a prominent part in shaping the United Nations’ Charter on Russian-Communist lines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;These considerations, however, did not weigh heavily with the faithful, who thought that the Pope’s address and appearance, before a world audience, would be a golden opportunity for the advancement of Papal teaching. It would burst upon the doubting and insecure world with a certainty that it had never before experienced. Many listeners, for the first time in their lives, would be brought face to face with the reality of religion. It was only the Church that had anything really important to say, that could add spiritual significance to the routine of daily life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Some half-a-century before, Pius X had issued directions and indicated guide-lines that were everywhere and at all times relevant. But his audience had been as necessarily limited as his means to make himself heard. Now it was for Pope Paul to echo the words of his predecessor, but this time to an almost universal congregation that could be reached through the medium of the United Nations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Pius had said: ‘There is no need for me to point out that the advent of world democracy can have no relevancy to the work of the Church in the world .... the reform of civilisation is essentially a religious task, for true civilisation presupposes a moral foundation, and there can be no morally based foundation without true religion .... this is a truth which can be demonstrated from the evidence of history.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;But Pope Paul had no intention of endorsing what Pius had said. For instead of a religious leader speaking on October 4th, 1965, it might have been a disciple of Jean Jacques Rousseau holding forth on the deification of human nature that, finding expression in the declaration of the Rights of Man on August 12th, 1789, ushered in the French Revolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The Rights of Man, that were enthusiastically defined as being vested in Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, led to the Cult of Man and man’s elevation in place of God; from which it followed that all religious forms, and institutions such as rulership, family life, and the holding of private property, were denigrated as being parts of the old order that was on the point of passing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;When the effects of the Second Vatican Council became apparent, Doctor Rudolf Gruber, Bishop of Regensburg, was led to observe that the main ideas of the French Revolution, ‘which represents an important element in Lucifer’s plan’, were being adopted in many spheres of Catholicism. And Pope Paul, speaking direct to a battery of microphones that carried to the world, gave ample evidence of this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;He made no reference to spiritual claims or the importance of religion. ‘Behold the day we have awaited for centuries.... This is the ideal that mankind has dreamt of in its journey through history.... We would venture to call it the world’s greatest hope.... It is your task here’, he told the members of the Assembly, ‘to proclaim the basic rights and duties of Man.... We are conscious that you are the interpreters of all that is permanent in human wisdom; we could almost say of its sacred character.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Man had now come of age, and was qualified to live by a philosophic morality that, owing nothing to authority, was created by himself. The United Nations, destined to play the leading role in the world, was ‘the last hope of mankind’. So it was to secular structures that man must look for the stability and redemption of humanity; in a word, to himself; sentiments that would not have been out of place in the committee rooms of the French Revolution; sentiments that no one would have thought to hear expressed by a Pope, void as they were of any reference to the claims and traditional message of the Church.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;That this was understood and appreciated was shown by the reception accorded him at the close of his address, by those of a certain political persuasion who made up by far the greater part of his live audience. He was surrounded by back-slapping and handshaking representatives of Russia, China, and the Soviet satellite States. He arranged for further meetings, which proved to be four in all, with the Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko (real name Katz), and his wife. There were congratulations from Nikolai Podgorny, member of the Politburo, and warm exchanges with Arthur Goldberg, a prominent member of the Communist Party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Pope Paul had opened up the world of religion to its old and inveterate enemies, the champions of social reform who denied revelation. ‘Dialogue’ was now much in fashion, and the prospect of Moscow and the Vatican entering into talks was taken for granted. The world’s leading churchman had propagated the social gospel, so dear to the heart of revolutionaries, without a single reference to the religious doctrines that they found pernicious. Differences between the two sides were not so deep-seated and final as had once been thought. The Pope, and those who clustered about him sometimes with two-handed clasps, could henceforth be allies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;It now remained to round off a truly historic visit with an initiatory rite that would put the seal on this newly admitted realisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;‘Behold, thy King is coming to thee, humbly riding on an ass.’ So wrote St. Matthew (21.5) on Christ’s entry into Jerusalem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;But it was not thus that Christ’s representative rode along Broadway. Pope Paul travelled in a seven-passenger Lincoln convertible, through a forest of flags and bunting, with a police escort on motor cycles, and thousands more police lining the way and restraining crowds that were uncertain whether to stand, kneel, or bow their heads in expectation of a blessing, and whether to wave or raise an arm in salute; with two spotter helicopters buzzing and circling overhead, sirens blowing, and on nearly every building fluorescent lighting that unnecessarily vied with the daylight, and the United Nations’ Plaza Building spelling out ‘welcome, Pope Paul VI’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;This followed upon a question that Cardinal Vagnozzi, the Apostolic-delegate in New York, put to Pope Paul. What was to be the next goal of his visit?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The Meditation Room in the United Nations’ building, Paul told him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The Cardinal was surprised, shocked. He had good reason for affirming that the Holy Father couldn’t go there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;But he went.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The room, with two others of its kind, one at Wainwright House, Stuyvesant Avenue, Rye, New York, and the other in the United States Capitol, represented the early stage of a scheme the fulfilment of which would be marked (in concrete form) by the erection of what was called the Temple of Understanding, on fifty acres of ground along the banks of the Potomac in Washington, D.C.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;It was part of a design to form one inter-religious world body on the part of a certain Mrs. Judith Dickerman Hollister, who revealed an anti-traditional, pro-mysterious bias by becoming a Shinto. As such, she believed the Japanese myth that two divine universal parents descended upon an island that was made of drops of salt. There the god-mother gave birth to other islands, with mountains and rivers, and finally to a whole galaxy of gods. After that astonishing feat the lady withdrew from her sea-girt home and was seen no more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Thus armed with an air of mystery, a suggestion of interior enlightenment, and an eccentric bearing, Mrs. Hollister found an enthusiastic supporter in the President’s wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, whom some of her intimates rated as being somewhat below the mentally normal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;From that it needed but a step to secure the backing of the United States Government, while John D. Rockefeller, and several of his associates in the Communist front that he founded, contributed to what was called the Spiritual United Nations. Another pro-Communist millionaire, Marshall Field, who has already been noted as a patron of the anarchist Saul David Alinsky, helped to pay for the decoration of the room. The Ford Foundation also gave financial encouragement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;A carefully edited bulletin, that supposedly dealt with the meaning and purpose of the room, was produced by the Lucis Press, which issues printed matter for the United Nations. The suspicious may find food for thought in the fact that this publishing company, when it started in the early part of this century, was known as the Lucifer Press. It now functions at 3 Whitehall Court, London, S.W.1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;That title might well have been retained when dealing with Mrs. Hollister’s creation, for the room (and this explains the shock felt by Cardinal Vagnozzi) was a centre of the Illuminati, given over to the cult of the all-seeing Eye that under a system of allegories and veiled secrets, as translated by the Masters of Wisdom, was dedicated to the service of pagan cults; and the obliteration of Christian in favour of humanistic beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; "&gt;Two doors, each fitted with tinted glass panels, lead into the room. A guard stands outside, and another is stationed just inside the door. The entrant encounters semi-darkness, and a quiet into which one’s footsteps are absorbed by a thick blue rug on the floor. An arched inner way, still overhung by a sense of night-like stillness, opens out into a space some thirty feet long, wedge-shaped, windowless, and with a solitary yellow light, apparently beamed from nowhere, shimmering on the surface of an altar that stands in the centre, a waist-high block of crystalline iron ore that is known to weigh between six and seven tons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Blue rugs are spread over the floor, that is elsewhere paved with blue-grey lengths of slate. At the far end of the room, where the dimness melts into total shadow, there is a low railing beyond which only the privileged are allowed to pass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The fresco-mural, more than eight feet high and some two feet smaller in width, is played upon by a light directed from the top. Framed in a steel panel, it appears to be an apparently meaningless cluster of blue, grey, white, brown, and yellow geometrical designs. But to those versed in esoteric understanding the crescents and triangles present a definite form that takes shape, in the centre and outer circle of the mural, as the Illuminati Eye.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Main attention is not, however, focused upon the mural but on the altar, that is dedicated to ‘the faceless one’, and from which an air of brooding mystery, prevalent in the room, appears to radiate. And as one’s senses respond, it is realised that other shaded lights, concealed in a suspended ceiling that matches the size of the room, add to the sombre impression conveyed by the altar beam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Pope Paul, at the end of his mission, was presented with a model of the then prospective Temple of Understanding. The Masters extended a similar welcome to Cardinal Suenens, who later visited the Meditation Room; and in return representatives of the Temple were received at the Vatican.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The underlying purpose of the Temple was plainly revealed by its plan, with the all-seeing Eye, faceted like a diamond in the central dome of the building, reflecting the rays of the sun through wings that represented six world faiths – Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Confucianism, and Christianity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The same symbolism figured at a banquet attended by some five hundred supporters of syncretism at the Waldorf Astor, where a little scene was enacted when a child, holding aloft the model of an egg, was presented to the president of the Temple, the same Mrs. Dickerman Hollister. She tapped the egg with a wand, and the shell dropped away to reveal a tree with six golden branches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Before leaving America Pope Paul, to press home his voluntary renunciation of spiritual authority, made a show of divesting himself of the Church’s reminders and insignia. He gave the Papal ring of diamonds and rubies, and his pectoral cross of diamonds and emeralds – the two containing four hundred and four diamonds, one hundred and forty-five emeralds, and twenty rubies – to the Buddhist U Thant, then Secretary-General of the United Nations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;A jeweller had estimated that the jewels alone, apart from their traditional value, were worth more than a hundred thousand dollars. They were swept up at an auction for sixty-four thousand dollars, after which the successful buyer sold them to a Mr. David Morton of Orono, Minnesota. Some items of this Papal jewellery were next seen decking the person of a female performer who appeared in the ‘Carson television night-show’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The ring and the cross continued to go the round of dealers, auction rooms, and superior junk shops, and were last heard of among the articles offered for sale at a market in Geneva.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;This abnegation followed Pope Paul’s public show of giving up the tiara, the triple crown that denotes the Trinity, the authority, and the spiritual powers of the Church. The crown was presented to a Pope at the time of his coronation with the words: ‘Receive this tiara adorned with three crowns and know that you are the father of princes and of kings, guide of the world, and Vicar upon earth of Jesus Christ.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Pope Paul let it be known that he was giving up the crown for the benefit of the poor of the world, a motive that was played up by the Press and that ‘went down well’ with the public. But he was giving up something that had never been his in the first place, and so was not transferable. Moreover, one word from him would have caused all the world-wide missions and charitable organisations of the Church to open their purses for the poor. But instead, he made a theatrical gesture by discarding external signs of religious dignity which, as he and his kind well knew, was a minor step that, added to others of its kind, was part of the process of sapping the Church’s internal significance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;He also made use of a sinister symbol, used by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican Two. This was a bent or broken cross on which was displayed a repulsive and distorted figure of Christ, which the black magicians and sorcerers of the Middle Ages had made use of to represent the Biblical term, ‘Mark of the Beast’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Yet not only Paul VI but his successors, the two John-Pauls, carried that object and held it up to be revered by crowds who had not the slightest idea that it stood for anti-Christ. Furthermore, this exhibition of a desiccated figure on a twisted stick was forbidden by Canon 1279, which condemned the usage of any sacred image that is not in keeping with the approved usage of the Church. That it was used for occult purposes may be seen in woodcuts shown in the Museum of Witchcraft in Bayonne, France.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;Another disquieting feature of Pope Paul’s visit to the United States was his appearance, at the Yankee Stadium in New York, wearing the Ephod, the ancient garment with breastplate of twelve stones, representing the twelve sons of Jacob, as worn by Caiphas, the High Priest of the Sanhedrin, who called for the crucifixion of Christ.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;As though not content with that quite unnecessary innovation, His Holiness continued to wear that non-Christian symbol on other occasions, including the Way of the Cross procession in Rome on March the 27th, 1964; at a ceremony in the Place d’Espagne, Rome, on December the 8th, 1964; the visit of Doctor Ramsay, Archbishop of Canterbury, to the Vatican in 1966; at a reception of parish priests in the Sistine Chapel; and at Castelgandolfo in the summer of 1970.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The tone of Pope Paul’s address to the United Nations had given no little encouragement to the progressives, or Left-wing element, within the Church. For within a few days of Paul’s return to Rome the Bishop of Cuernavaca, Mendes Arceo, was declaring that ‘Marxism is necessary in order to realise God’s kingdom at the present time’; while Pope Paul let it be known that Rome, in order to end an old enmity, was ready to take a new look at secret societies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;As part of that process, Monsignor Pezeril was entrusted with the task of negotiating with a governing body of those societies with a view to establishing friendly contact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;The retentive powers of those who write for the papers, like the memories of those who seriously regard them, are proverbially short. Yet because the Pope’s speech in New York was well in keeping with the prevailing trend, it is not surprising to find that the cue he had given there was taken up, some time later, by the Vatican journal &lt;i&gt;L’Osservatore Romano&lt;/i&gt;, which let it be known that the Church’s traditional message had yielded place to a more unorthodox concept, by announcing:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;‘There are no true riches but Man.’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr width="34%" align="left"&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 25px; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;The two interlaced triangles explain Lantoine’s remarks that Satan is an equal and indispensable part of God, as seen when the picture is reversed. Simply translated, the motto means: ‘What is above equals what is below.’ It reveals a common occult idea that God is both good and evil, and that Satan is part of him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Background to the United Nations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/p/freemasonic-united-nations.html"&gt;The Justice of God: Freemasonic United Nations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://lookupyourredemptionisathand.blogspot.com/2011/07/parousia-of-jesus-christ-our-lord_27.html"&gt;Look up, your redemption is at hand: Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: The Abomination of Assisi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://lookupyourredemptionisathand.blogspot.com/2012/02/babel-ecumenism-abomination-of-assisi.html"&gt;Look up, your redemption is at hand: Марк, имя, номер зверя и башня Babel = Ecumenism: The Abomination of Assisi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://123sayyidah-parousia.blogspot.com/2011/07/aeur-or-eur-capital-of-totally-neo.html"&gt;Parousia of Jesus Christ Our Lord: _鬼: The Aeur or Eur - Capital of a totally neo-pagan Europe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://lookupyourredemptionisathand.blogspot.com/2012/01/zionism-communism-banksterism.html"&gt;Look up, your redemption is at hand: Zionism, Communism, Banksterism, Vaticanism - Apostasy from God&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://inthepublicdomainonrecord.blogspot.com/2012/02/worldmark-encyclopedia-of-nations-vol-1.html"&gt;Public domain: Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations [Vol 1 United Nations] (Thomson, 2007) WW.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Including download links for the entire history and the treaties of the United Nations all the way back to the League of Nations and to the present.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Related&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/2012/02/traditional-catholic-prayers-mccain.html"&gt;The Justice of God: Traditional Catholic Prayers: McCain Manchurian Candidate, Unlawful war with Iran by Senate - Tech_Journal: Iran’s Nuclear Program: Status&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain's treason today &lt;a href="http://1law-order-and-justice.blogspot.com/2012/02/justice-of-god-traditional-catholic.html"&gt;The Justice of God: The Justice of God: Traditional Catholic Prayers: McCain Manchurian Candidate, Unlawful war with Iran by Senate - Tech_Journal: Iran’s Nuclear Program&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://zionwocommunistainternationalesixth.blogspot.com/2012/02/manchurian-candidate-john-mccain-3.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Manchurian Candidate - John McCain 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://zionwocommunistainternationalesixth.blogspot.com/2012/02/manchurian-candidate-john-mccain-2.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Manchurian Candidate - John McCain 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://zionwocommunistainternationalesixth.blogspot.com/2012/02/manchurian-candidate-john-mccain-1.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Manchurian Candidate - John McCain 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Despite the focus of the mass media on (mostly theoretical) rivalry between the USA and China, and the rapport in recent years between China and Russia through a Central Asian axis, neither of these apparent geopolitical alignments are historically or organically based. They are superficial and in particular obscure the behind-the-scenes diplomacy that takes place above and beyond the public view. I have contended since the 1980s that there will be conflict between Russia and China, and that the USA will eventually adopt a &lt;em&gt;de jure&lt;/em&gt;pro-China position, which has continued &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; despite the occasional posturing on the world stage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Although there has been an ongoing relationship between Israel and China and between China and the USA, Russia, on the other hand, has been regarded as highly dubious by the USA, China, and Israel, regardless of what appears from public rostrums and treaties.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;• The US foreign policy and international banking establishments together with the Zionists have been nervous about Russia for over a Century. They have regarded Russians as barbaric &lt;em&gt;pogromists&lt;/em&gt;; Russia, the land of the Black Hundreds which has only relented during the brief interregnums of (a) The Bolsheviks up to the rise of Stalin;[1] (b) the regimes of Gorbachev[2] and Yeltsin. The conspicuous presence of Jews among the “oligarchs” targeted by Putin for corruption has served to multiply this nervousness towards Russia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;• If there was ever going to be an historically and organically based alliance between China and Russia, one would expect this to have been forged on the basis of “fraternal relations” when Russia was nominally “Communist.” Such was far from the case however. The foundation of Sino-Soviet relations was the cynically named 1950 “Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance,” which reduced China to a vassal state, and was ended by China in 1979 with the invasion of Vietnam as a symbolic gesture of the two-fingered kind.[3]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Causes of Future Conflict&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In regard to the relationship that will emerge between Russia and China, it is a matter of “blood is thicker than water,” and for Russians the Chinese are racial enemies. However, in this instance, it is &lt;em&gt;water&lt;/em&gt; that is likely to be the factor that will reinforce the bonds and the antagonisms of “blood.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;China’s domination of Tibet provides the probable key to future widespread conflict throughout South and Southeast Asia and extending to Russia. The control of the Himalayan headwaters that feed most of India and Southeast Asia means that China has the potential lever over life and death for tens of millions. Water resources, flooding, pollution, and drought are major, albeit rarely publicized, problems throughout Asia. China has plans that will enable it to turn off the water taps for Asia at will, and the Chinese will not hesitate to do so when they face water resource crises of their own. The plan is for a Great South-North Water Project which will be able to divert river waters from the Tibetan highlands, including the waters of the Brahmaputra which feed India, into the parched Yellow River.[4] With such crises against the background of historic tensions that have still not been resolved between China and India, Japan, and Vietnam, and Russia’s historically sound relations that endure with Vietnam and India, and the Chinese aim of hegemony over Central Asia, the much touted Shanghai Cooperation Organization established in 1996 as the “Shanghai Five,” will be no more enduring than the Hitler-Stalin Pact. Ironically, it was during the “Communist” era that China and the USSR came close to full-scale war, when China caused provocations along the border with Russia. During 1960-1963 there were over nine thousand disputes. The biggest clash in 1969 came when the Chinese killed 32 Russians in an ambush, with Russia responding by bombing China, causing about 800 Chinese deaths.[5]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Such was the adversity between Russia and China during the 1960s that veteran journalist Harrison E Salisbury wrote a book entitled &lt;em&gt;The Coming War Between Russia and China&lt;/em&gt;, in which he referred to the historic enmity starting during the 13&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Century.[6] It would be naïve to think that a “Shanghai Cooperation Organization” has fundamentally altered the broad outlines of Salisbury’s thesis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;USA &amp;amp; China&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;US opposition to Red China is one of the great myths of popular history. Nor was Mao particular antagonistic towards the USA other than when he wanted to posture as the rival leader of World Communism and the Third World against the “running dogs of US imperialism.” His opposition was very much that of a “paper tiger.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Stalin was never well disposed towards Mao, whereas the USA was. The USA was insistent that Chiang deal with the Communists, while Stalin insisted that the Communists deal with Chiang. It was Chiang whom Stalin recognized as the leader of China, and regarded Mao as a “Trotskyite.”[7] When the Russians prepared to evacuate Manchuria in 1945 they stayed until 1946 to allow Chiang in ahead of Mao. The Soviet Ambassador was only withdrawn from Chiang’s entourage the day before Mao’s announcement of his government in Peking in October 1949. Mao never forgave this. Mao’s attempts to ingratiate himself with the USSR were never successful, and he endured humiliation.[8]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Conversely to the anti-Communist policy pursued by Stalin, the USA did whatever it could to back Mao. Gen. George C Marshall warned that US support for Chiang would end if he did not stop pursuing the Red Army into northern Manchuria at a time when Mao could have been defeated. As Chang and Halliday point out in their definitive biography on Mao, in a chapter aptly entitled “Saved by Washington,” this US betrayal of Chiang was decisive.[9] However, Mao, as the budding co-equal to Stalin as leader of World Communism, was obliged to direct his alliance towards the USSR rather than the USA, a decision that cost China dearly under the terms of the colonialistic “Sino-Soviet Treaty.” Moreover, Mao was never accepted as the leader of World Communism other than by the Communist Party of New Zealand and by Albania.[10] His only option for recognition as a world statesman was to return to the USA, resulting in the Nixon visit of 1972.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;However, despite the self-imposed isolation of Mao in his ill-considered attempt to align with the USSR rather than the USA, the US foreign policy establishment and plutocratic interests had never disowned their pro-Mao attitude. These centred on the Rockefeller cabal and more latterly that of George Soros. Despite US recognition for China not being achieved until 1975, the policy that was pursued by the Nixon Administration towards China since 1970 had been formulated a decade previously by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Peter Grose explained this in the official history of the CFR, which he calls America’s “foreign policy establishment”:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The Council turned in earnest to the problem of communist China early in the 1960s. Various Council publications had started developing the idea of a ‘two-China’ policy—recognition of both the Nationalist government of Taiwan and the communist government on the mainland. This, Council authors suggested, might be the least bad policy direction. Professor A. Doak Barnett published a trail-blazing book for the Council in 1960,&lt;em&gt;Communist China and Asia&lt;/em&gt;. A major Council study of relations between the United States and China commenced in 1964, the year China exploded its first nuclear bomb; the group met systematically for the next four years. ‘Contentment with the present stalemate in relations with the Chinese is not statesmanship,’ declared Robert Blum of the Asia Society[11], the first director of the project. ‘American impatience and the strong currents of political emotion often make it impossible to plan ahead to manage our policy in a persevering but flexible way.’”[12]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Like the recognition of Bolshevik Russian desired by the international bankers at the earliest stages of the regime, recognition of Red China presented a problem, especially since the USA had given guarantees to Taiwan. A typically duplicitous strategy was therefore required. The USA used the “two-China policy” to secure Red China’s entry into the United Nations, and to sideline Taiwan. The CFR approach was one of gradual promotion of the Mao regime, decrying the so-called “strong currents of emotion” that were holding back the globalist relationship with Red China. Grose explains:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;This seemed just the sort of political stalemate that the Council on Foreign Relations, free of electoral and partisan constraints, was endowed to repair. Midway through the project, the Council published an analysis of public opinion called &lt;em&gt;The American People and China&lt;/em&gt; by A. T.

This study argued that it was only a steady diet of hostile public statements that had made Americans “disposed to believe the worst of communist China and they [the Chinese] the worst of us.”[13]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;It is from this milieu that Rockefeller protégé Henry Kissinger[14] emerged as the public architect of the US policy towards China.

Nixon himself followed in 1972. The delicate process of normalizing diplomatic relations between the United States and China was completed in 1978 by Kissinger’s successor as secretary of state, Cyrus R. Vance, a leading Council officer before and after his government service.[16]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US Trade with Russia &amp;amp; China: The Imbalance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In 1973 David Rockefeller went to China and came back writing of what he saw of China’s “social experiment” being one of the “most important and successful in human history.”[17] His Standard Oil soon obtained exclusive rights to oil exploration, and his Chase Manhattan Bank quickly followed.  When in 1978 Taiwan was formally dumped, America’s first Ambassador to Red China was Leonard Woodstock, an early member of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission. On the heels of Rockefeller went Coca Cola, Boeing, and Mitsui-Petro Chemical, all affiliated with the Trilateral Commission; starting a momentum that has made China the universally recognized juggernaut of world capitalism.[18]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;What has developed between the USA and China is a symbiotic economic relationship that exists neither between the USA and Russia nor Russia and China.

The only question is which of the two is more dependent, which, to be precise, stands to lose more in the event of a crisis in their amicable relationship, now over thirty years old.[19]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;While China has been heralded as the power that will be co-equal if not surpassing the USA, leaving Russia in a subordinate position, Russia has the upper hand in economic relations with China, and “will continue to sell oil and weapons on Russian terms.”[20] Trade relations, while heralded by both states, are inconsistent. Of particular significance, &lt;em&gt;Stratfor&lt;/em&gt; has forecast that, “competition and mutual suspicion would prevent the rejuvenation of a strategic partnership between the two Eurasian powers. Moscow’s determination to economically integrate with Western Europe also is driving a wedge between the two.”[21] The European Union, not China, is Russia’s main trading partner, and the EU is the most important investor in Russia, based on the 1994 “Partnership &amp;amp; Co-Operation Agreement,” with the aim of an integrated market.[22] In terms of US goods trade, Russia stands at 24&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;; US foreign direct investment (FDI) in Russia (stock) was $21.3 billion in 2009 (latest figures).[23] However, China is the USA’s second largest goods trading partner, and US foreign direct investment (FDI) in China (stock) was $49.4 billion in 2009 (latest data available).[24]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;To what extent, then, is there a geopolitical alliance between Russia and China that is genuinely rooted in a common outlook? Who or what are their common “outer enemies”? The fact seems that, despite the occasional verbiage on the world stage about “tensions” between the USA and China, or future possibilities of geopolitical rivalry over oil supply routes, the power distrusted by both is Russia, and Russia in turn deeply distrusts both.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russia &amp;amp; USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The rapport between the USA and Russia was very brief: the interregnum of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, followed by a renewed “Cold War” with the rise of Putin. Gorbachev is today feted as a celebrity by the globalist elite for his having dismantled the Soviet bloc, with the prospect of re-colonizing Russia; a project that had been abruptly halted by Stalin. Gorbachev’s 80&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; birthday celebration at the Royal Albert Hall, March 2011, was billed for “The Man who Changed the World.”[25]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ynet News&lt;/em&gt;, one of the large Israeli media outlets, stated of the Gorbachev festivities that among the attendees were Israeli President Shimon Peres, and unnamed “oligarchs.” Israel’s Shimon Peres was a featured guest of the event,&lt;em&gt;Ynet News &lt;/em&gt;reporting: “In his speech, the Israeli president said Gorbachev fought to regain what his country had lost to communism, adding that the former Soviet leader changed history.”[26]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;However, despite the flurry of jubilation up until the drunken clown Yeltsin, Russia never could be relied upon to stick to the script, and the Council on Foreign Relations laments that “Russia is heading in the wrong direction.”[27] One of the CFR recommendations is to directly interfere with the Russian political process, urging US Congress to fund opposition movements by increased funding for the &lt;em&gt;Freedom Support Act&lt;/em&gt;, in this instance referring specifically to the 2007-2008 presidential elections.[28] Authors of the CFR report include Mark F Brzezinski,[29] who served on the National Security Council as an adviser on Russian and Eurasian affairs under President Clinton; Antonia W Bouis, founding executive director of the Soros Foundations; and James A Harmon, senior advisor to the Rothschild Group, et al.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The high level policy makers of the globalist establishment, far from seeing China and the USA as rivals, see them as the linchpins of the “new world order.” A report carried by &lt;em&gt;Forbes&lt;/em&gt; states:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The US and China are not in a competition to dominate the world, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said during a meeting in Beijing on Tuesday.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;“Such competition is meaningless,” Kissinger was quoted saying in Tuesday’s &lt;em&gt;China Daily&lt;/em&gt;.

Alexander Lukin, Director of the Center for East Asian and SCO Studies at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, stated in a scholarly paper:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Two U.S. foreign-policy pundits, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger, have recently come out with programs for solving global problems in the new situation. In fact, they have proposed to the newly elected U.S. president, Barack Obama, changing the U.S. foreign policy. The positions of the two policymakers do not fully coincide; yet they agree on one thing: a stable future of the world depends on whether or not the United States and China are able to put aside their differences and launch constructive cooperation between themselves.[31]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Lukin also cites an article by Kissinger where he proposes a Sino-US alliance to shape the global system, stating that the USA must be wiling to compromise in order to display its goodwill to China, going so far as to shape China and the USA “into a design for a common destiny, much as was done with trans-Atlantic relations in the postwar period.”[32]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Lukin refers to the anti-Russian motivation that continues to be a primary factor in the thinking of Zbigneiw Brzezinski, as one of the major theorists for US hegemony, Lukin writing:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The two veteran policymakers build their reasoning on different logic. Kissinger follows up on his own geopolitical concepts, while Brzezinski apparently remains committed to the dominating dream of his life – creating a widest possible anti-Russian coalition. Yet, for various reasons, there is much in common in their recommendations.[33]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Lukin believes that there are various scenarios such as protests from human rights activist in regard to China, that make a Sino-US alliance of the type proposed to Brzezkinski unlikely. His reasons for objections seem naïve. However, Lukin does make an interesting comment about the implications of such a shift in alignments, one being a realignment between Russia and Europe, which he states is a desirable project for Russian policy-makers:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Finally, geopolitically, a U.S. shift towards China would create favorable conditions for the fulfillment of a daydream of many politicians in Moscow: the separation of Europe from the U.S., its rapprochement with Russia, and the creation of a Europe from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Realistically minded policymakers in Washington are unlikely to be delighted by the prospect.[34]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Despite his belief in the “unfeasibity” of a Sino-US pact, Lukin states of high-level relationships that will at least likely bring the two closer:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Nevertheless, a certain shift in Washington from the ideologization of its foreign policy to pragmatism would inevitably lead to closer cooperation with China. Circles close to the administration are actively discussing the idea of establishing a U.S.-Chinese cooperation commission, to be led by Vice President Joseph Biden and Premier Wen Jiabao (similar to the former U.S.-Russian Albert Gore-Victor Chernomyrdin commission). The two countries have agreed to broaden their bilateral strategic dialogue on economic issues and include security issues in it. They have also announced plans to start discussions on global warming. In addition, shortly before Clinton’s visit, they declared the resumption of consultations between their defense ministries, which had been suspended by China last year after the George W. Bush administration announced plans to sell large quantities of armaments to Taiwan.[35]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Both Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski continue to serve US Administrations, and Brzezinski has served as President Obama’s foreign policy adviser. Brzezinski stated when Russia invaded Georgia:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Fundamentally at stake is what kind of role Russia will play in the new international system. Unfortunately, Putin is putting Russia on a course that is ominously similar to Stalin’s and Hitler’s in the late 1930s… Not only the West, but the rest of the international community, must make it clear that this kind of behavior will result in ostracism and economic and financial penalties. Ultimately, if Russia continues on this course, it must face isolation in the international community – a longer range risk to its own well-being… The question is not what obligation the West may have at the moment. The question is about our longer term interest. If a Russia, which misjudges its power and its capacities embarks now on a blatantly nationalistic and imperialistic course, we will all suffer.[36]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;It is notable that Brzezinski advocates a new Cold War containment of Russia in its own spheres of interest by the “international community,” and that there is concern about Russia as a nationalistic and imperialistic state that does not fit into the globalist schemes for a “new international system.” Brzezinski rightly sees Eurasia as pivotal in world power politics. Russia’s influence over Eurasia is therefore of primary concern to Brzezinski, and to contain that influence he advocates a Sino-American alliance. He writes of the volatile situation in Eurasia:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In the western periphery of Eurasia, the key players will continue to be France and Germany, and America’s central goal should be to continue to expand the democratic European bridgehead. In the Far East, China is likely to be increasingly pivotal, and the United States will not have a Eurasian strategy unless a Sino-American political consensus is nurtured. In Eurasia’s center, the area between an enlarging Europe and a regionally rising China will remain a political black hole until Russia firmly redefines itself as a post-imperial state. Meanwhile, to the south of Russia, Central Asia threatens to become a cauldron of ethnic conflicts and great-power rivalries.[37]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial;

Such a sphere of influence should not be confused with a zone of exclusive political domination, like the Soviet Union had in Eastern Europe. It is more likely to be an area in which weaker states pay special deference to the interests, views, and anticipated reactions of the regionally dominant power. In brief, a Chinese sphere of influence can be defined as one in which the first question in the various capitals is, “What is Beijing’s view on this?”[40]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;“Greater China” does not pose a threat to US strategic interests. So far from there being a potential for geopolitical rivalry between China and the USA, there is a commonality of interests:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Greater China’s geopolitical influence is not necessarily incompatible with America’s strategic interest in a stable, pluralistic Eurasia. For example, China’s growing interest in Central Asia constrains Russia’s ability to achieve a political reintegration of the region under Moscow’s control. In this connection and in regard to the Persian Gulf, China’s growing energy needs means it has a common interest with America in maintaining free access to, and political stability in, the oil-producing regions. Similarly, China’s support for Pakistan restrains India’s ambitions to subordinate that country, while offsetting India’s inclination to cooperate with Russia in regard to Afghanistan and Central Asia. Chinese and Japanese involvement in the development of eastern Siberia can also enhance regional stability.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The bottom line is that America and China need each other in Eurasia. Greater China should consider America a natural ally for historical as well as political reasons. Unlike Japan or Russia, the United States has never had any territorial designs on China; compared to Great Britain, it has never humiliated China. Moreover, without a viable strategic relationship with America, China is not likely to continue to attract the enormous foreign investment necessary for regional preeminence.… For America, China’s regional power, co-opted into a wider framework of international cooperation, can become an important strategic asset – equal to Europe, more weighty than Japan – in assuring Eurasia’s stability.[41]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;It will be noted that Brzezinski seems to base his perception of states on their relationship to Russia, and in this India, rather than Pakistan, is the problem state that needs containing. Brzezinski therefore sees India as the aggressor vis-à-vis Pakistan, to say nothing of China’s aggressive designs on Indian territory. The various states on whom “Greater China” has territorial ambitions are apparently supposed to ignore those designs, including ongoing provocations. There have been many skirmishes against Vietnam over the Bay of Tonkin, during which fishermen seem to bear the brunt of Chinese aggression.[42] India has faced confrontation with China over Arunachi Pradesh[43]. Late in 2010 there were diplomatic tensions between China and Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea.[44] Brzezinski’s answer to territorial disputes between Japan and China seems to be that of their jointly “developing” eastern Siberia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Soros’ attitude towards China parallels Brzezinski’s. Soros bases his perceptions of China as a super-power that has matured and has to accept global responsibilities as being co-leader of the “new world order” along with the USA. Accepting his award as “Globalist of the Year” from the Canadian International Council, the currency speculator who admits to having a messiah complex, stated of China that: “They have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well.” When Soros was asked about an impending visit to China in 2009 he stated to the London &lt;em&gt;Financial Times&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;This would be the time because I think you really need to bring China into the creation of a new world order, financial world order. I think you need a new world order, that China has to be part of the process of creating it and they have to buy in, they have to own it in the same way as the United States owns … the current order.[45]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;China &amp;amp; Israel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Since the establishment of Israel and Red China at around the same time there has been an ongoing, although usually covert, relationship, despite the posturing of China as the friend of the Palestinians and the Arab cause. From 1949 Israel was the only independent state in the Middle East to recognize Red China and support its admittance to the United Nations. During the 1960s and 1970s China adopted a pro-Arab posture in attempting to counter Soviet influence. However, despite an attempt at alignment with the Arab states, in 1971 Zhou told Senator Henry Jackson, who was as opposed to the USSR as he was supportive of Israel, that China supported Israel in its opposition to Soviet expansion in the Middle East.[46]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;However, the real significance of Sino-Israeli relations was through the covert arms deals largely arranged by Shaul Eisenberg, “Mossad’s tie-in with China.”[47] In 1979, when China was posing as the friend of the Arab people, Prime Minister Menachem Begin obtained US approval for Eisenberg to undertake a $US10 billion 10 year deal to modernize the Chinese armed forces, the Chinese insisting on “absolute secrecy.”[48] In 1999 &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt; reported, “Israel has long had a close, secretive military relationship, with China.”[49] The Clinton Administration made some protestations to Israel about the dealings in advanced weapons technologies to placate concerns in the State and Commerce Departments, but allowed US corporations to advance classified technologies for satellite and missile launching, despite the objections of the Pentagon and others, and even while the corporations were being investigated for prior export violations.[50]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sino-US-Israeli Alignment in Middle East&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;As the foregoing shows, the relations between the USA, China, and Israel have been duplicitous, and have often been far different in reality, behind-the-scenes, than the posturing on the world stage. All three have had a common anti-Russian motivation. Now, with the so-called “Arab Spring,” contrived by the same interests that brought “velvet revolutions” to the former Soviet bloc states[51] and with the worrying prospect that these new regimes in the Middle East might have unleashed forces that cannot be controlled by their money-masters and advisers in New York and Washington, Israeli sources are urging a joint Sino-American-Israeli intervention.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;A &lt;em&gt;Jerusalem Post&lt;/em&gt; op-ed by Dr Shalom Wald[52] and Dr Gedaliah Afterman[53] comments on the visit by Chinese Chief of Staff, General Chen Bingde, to Israel in August 2011, that this is an opportunity for China to have a “stabilizing” impact on the region:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Indeed, improved Israel-China ties could have a positive impact not only on Israel but on the whole region. It could signal the Iranians and their Arab followers, Hamas and Hezbollah, that notwithstanding the help that some of them may have received from China in the past, China has no time and no sympathy for wild, genocidal ranting. China’s rapid ascendance and its interest in maintaining regional stability in the Middle East means China may be more ready to play a role in regional affairs and in the Middle East peace process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The United States’ reaction to growing Israel-China ties will be crucial.

China was their great neighbor for thousands of years before the United States was even formed, and before Europe become a power in the Middle East. Today China is their most important Asian energy market, and provides political cover because it does not ask them for political or human-rights concessions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In his recently published book &lt;em&gt;On China&lt;/em&gt;, Henry Kissinger continues his most important struggle – to help avoid the clash between a traditional and a rising great power which has occurred so often in history. He suggests that America can and must cope with China’s peaceful rise, but also asks the Chinese to become more involved in maintaining peace and stability on a global level. Have the Chinese already listened to him on the Middle East? Has the United States?[54]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;As has been shown by the “Brzezinski Doctrine,” globalist interests in the USA have already been urging a joint Sino-US role, in the Middle East. An Israeli overture in that direction will give impetus for the Obama Administration to adopt the globalist agenda, especially given the current tumult that globalist interference has unleashed over the Middle East.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Globalist interests, headed up by David Rockefeller and Soros, and articulated by Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski, see Russia as the major obstacle to a “new world order,” as they have since the time of Stalin. China long has been seen as the means of containing Russia. Now China is a super-power in her own right, and one that – despite occasional rhetoric from public rostrums about “democracy” and “human rights” – globalist business interests welcome as being privotal to the “new world order.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;While internationalist and Israeli aims have occasionally been divergent, both are in confluence in considering China as a means of “stabilizing” Eurasia and the Middle East respectively. The US internationalists have been pursuing a pro-China agenda since before Mao assumed power, and the Israelis have always maintained a (usually covert) relationship with China. The present is the overt culmination of the largely unseen agendas of decades past.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;These globalist interests do not need persuading to advocate for a Chinese role in “stabilizing” the Middle East. This role would also be useful in containing Russia in that region, just as China is also seen as the major factor in blocking Russia’s influence over Eurasia. The USA, Israel and China have all seen Russia, both in her Soviet and post-Soviet modes, as the primary adversary. A US-China-Israel alliance is more in accord with historical facts than the current Sino-Russian rapport, which could face crises scenarios over water resources, and the ancient Chinese desire for &lt;em&gt;lebensraum&lt;/em&gt; in Russia, which is seen by the “Brzezinski Doctrine” as acceptable for the “development” (sic) of Siberia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;The option for Middle Eastern states that reject a joint Sino-US hegemony could be alignment with Russia. In Europe, the American-appeasing Sarkozy is an aberration of French politics. While Britain is likely to remain the USA’s primary ally in Europe, already there is disquiet from Germany about Europe being dragged into US military adventures that do not serve Europe’s interests. Building upon the relationship Europe is developing with Russia would be desirable, along the lines envisioned by de Gaulle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial;

In 1944, the Bretton Woods&lt;br /&gt;agreement established a system of fixed exchange rates based on&lt;br /&gt;the dollar ....&lt;br /&gt;By 1971, however, U.S. corporations had lost their competitive&lt;br /&gt;edge to Japan and the U.S. military had wasted hundreds of&lt;br /&gt;billions of dollars in Vietnam.  Nixon's decision to devalue the&lt;br /&gt;dollar and effectively end the Bretton Woods agreement on fixed&lt;br /&gt;exchange rates simply recognized the inevitable--the United States&lt;br /&gt;no longer ruled the world ....&lt;br /&gt;By the start of the '90s, BCCI and other banks that operated out&lt;br /&gt;of the offshore financial havens played key roles in the new&lt;br /&gt;economic order dominated by multinational corporations.  As the&lt;br /&gt;United States learned when it was forced to end fixed exchange&lt;br /&gt;rates, the new global economic system was too powerful for any one&lt;br /&gt;government to control.  For BCCI, as well as for international&lt;br /&gt;criminal elements, this was a dream come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  from the October 23-29, 1991 issue of "IN THESE TIMES":&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;                  BCCI  THE BIG PICTURE&lt;br /&gt;        A system out of control, not just one bank&lt;br /&gt;                    By George Winslow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first story in a two-part "In These Times" investigation&lt;br /&gt; into the broader economic implication of the BCCI affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN THE EARLY `80S, PAKISTANI IMMIGRANT AZIZ Rehman was overjoyed&lt;br /&gt;to find a job in one of the world's fastest growing banks, the&lt;br /&gt;Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).  The pay was&lt;br /&gt;good and the perks were even better.  His employer gave him a&lt;br /&gt;lavish expense account to entertain foreign diplomats--and he got&lt;br /&gt;to meet people like Jeb Bush, the U.S. vice president's son.&lt;br /&gt;But Rehman soon discovered that international finance had a less&lt;br /&gt;glamorous side.  Often, he had to lug heavy suitcases filled with&lt;br /&gt;cash through the sweltering Miami heat.  During the day, he&lt;br /&gt;worried about being robbed;  at night, he wondered about the&lt;br /&gt;bank's strange way of doing business.  Bank executives told Rehman&lt;br /&gt;the bags of cash were from a BCCI branch in the Bahamas.  But&lt;br /&gt;Rehman knew they were lying.  The branch office didn't exist.&lt;br /&gt;Years later, it s clear that BCCI has misplaced a lot more than&lt;br /&gt;a bank office.  On July 5 1991, bank regulators from several&lt;br /&gt;nations shut down BCCI, charging that top executives had lost or&lt;br /&gt;stolen as much as $15 billion worth of deposits.&lt;br /&gt;Since then, the BCCI affair has exploded into the biggest&lt;br /&gt;financial scandal of the `90s.  A barrage of press reports have&lt;br /&gt;detailed BCCI's involvement with drug dealers, CIA operators,&lt;br /&gt;corrupt dictators and sleazy arms dealers.  Even CIA officials&lt;br /&gt;have been quoted as calling BCCI "the Bank of Crooks and Criminals&lt;br /&gt;International."&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the mainstream media has largely ignored a much&lt;br /&gt;bigger scandal--a revolution in the global economy that has&lt;br /&gt;produced many banks just like BCCI.  This revolution has caused a&lt;br /&gt;terrifying cycle of poverty, drug addiction and financial fraud&lt;br /&gt;around the world.  Like the toxic waste given off by a chemical&lt;br /&gt;factory, BCCI is simply a noxious byproduct of a global economy&lt;br /&gt;based on profits and high finance, not human needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HUMBLE BEGINNINGS:  The economic context of the BCCI scandal&lt;br /&gt;begins with socialism and ends with the creation of a kind of&lt;br /&gt;capitalist utopia.&lt;br /&gt;In 1972, BCCI's founder, Agha Hasan Abedi, was under house&lt;br /&gt;arrest in Pakistan.  A socialist government had nationalized&lt;br /&gt;Abedi's United Bank and was investigating allegations of fraud at&lt;br /&gt;the institution.  But as police guarded his house, Abedi was&lt;br /&gt;already meeting with some of his powerful friends, plotting the&lt;br /&gt;creation of a new bank, BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;This bank, Abedi liked to say, would be the world's first&lt;br /&gt;"genuinely global bank."  Bank of America--then the world's&lt;br /&gt;largest bank--was trying to expand its international division.&lt;br /&gt;The huge U.S. bank was the first investor to jump on board.  Bank&lt;br /&gt;of America put up only $2.5 million to acquire a 25 percent stake&lt;br /&gt;in BCCI, but its involvement helped Abedi get investment capital&lt;br /&gt;from powerful Third-World leaders and financiers.  One early&lt;br /&gt;investor was Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan al-Nahyan, ruler of oil-rich&lt;br /&gt;Abu Dhabi.  Other major investors would eventually include Kamal&lt;br /&gt;Adham, former chief of Saudi Arabia's intelligence service;  the&lt;br /&gt;bin Mahfouz family, which also controls Saudi Arabia's largest&lt;br /&gt;bank;  and other rulers from the United Arab Emirates.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI went into operation with only $10 million in capital, but&lt;br /&gt;Abedi's timing was perfect.  Over the next 18 years, BCCI would&lt;br /&gt;grow by leaps and bounds.  By no coincidence, so would the&lt;br /&gt;international financial system.  In 1970, only about $60 billion&lt;br /&gt;moved through the international financial system each day.  Today&lt;br /&gt;more than $2 trillion worth of stocks bonds and currencies cross&lt;br /&gt;national borders--a 3,200 percent increase.  BCCI took full&lt;br /&gt;advantage of this growth.  By early 1990, it had grown into a $21&lt;br /&gt;billion bank with 425 branches in over 75 countries that served&lt;br /&gt;1.2 million customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UNCLE SAM'S FALL:  A dramatic period of political and economic&lt;br /&gt;disorder produced the global economic revolution that allowed BCCI&lt;br /&gt;to thrive.  One year before BCCI was founded, President Richard&lt;br /&gt;Nixon announced that the United States would devalue the dollar,&lt;br /&gt;effectively ending the American government's control over the&lt;br /&gt;international financial system.&lt;br /&gt;During World War II the United States had emerged as the globe's&lt;br /&gt;dominant economic and military power.  In 1944, the Bretton Woods&lt;br /&gt;agreement established a system of fixed exchange rates based on&lt;br /&gt;the dollar.  By making the dollar the equivalent of gold in world&lt;br /&gt;trade, U.S. economic policies became the world's economic&lt;br /&gt;policies.  Washington could print dollars to finance the Marshall&lt;br /&gt;Plan in Europe and other programs designed to open up markets to&lt;br /&gt;American corporations.  And it could mint money to build up&lt;br /&gt;America's military establishment--which, in turn, protected U.S.&lt;br /&gt;investments in other countries.  It was a "free world based on the&lt;br /&gt;dollar and backed by the atomic bomb," according to Richard Barnet&lt;br /&gt;and Ronald Muller, authors of "The Global Reach:  The Power of&lt;br /&gt;Multinational Corporations."&lt;br /&gt;By 1971, however, U.S. corporations had lost their competitive&lt;br /&gt;edge to Japan and the U.S. military had wasted hundreds of&lt;br /&gt;billions of dollars in Vietnam.  Nixon's decision to devalue the&lt;br /&gt;dollar and effectively end the Bretton Woods agreement on fixed&lt;br /&gt;exchange rates simply recognized the inevitable--the United States&lt;br /&gt;no longer ruled the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A NEW KING:  Assuming the U.S. government's throne, huge&lt;br /&gt;multinational corporations had become the world's new imperial&lt;br /&gt;power.  American foreign investments jumped from $29.1 billion in&lt;br /&gt;1955 to $120 billion in 1970 and $373 billion in 1989.  Foreign&lt;br /&gt;investments by every country in the world grew nearly tenfold from&lt;br /&gt;$112.3 billion in 1967 to $1,023 billion in 1987.&lt;br /&gt;U.S. banks also expanded their international operations to&lt;br /&gt;provide financial services to their blue-chip clients.  In 1965,&lt;br /&gt;only 20 U.S. banks with 112 branches had set up shop overseas.  By&lt;br /&gt;1988, 132 American banks had 849 foreign branches, holding a total&lt;br /&gt;of more than $275 billion in assets.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI was quick to establish a relationship with many of the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;banks that had expanded overseas in the '70s.  A confidential&lt;br /&gt;internal BCCI study, obtained by "In These Times," illustrates&lt;br /&gt;just how many U.S. banks had close financial relationships with&lt;br /&gt;BCCI.  The 1985 study notes that for all of 1984, BCCI transferred&lt;br /&gt;foreign currencies worth $37.5 billion through American banks.&lt;br /&gt;Most of these foreign currency transfers, $19 billion, involved&lt;br /&gt;five major American banks:  Bank of America, Security Pacific,&lt;br /&gt;American Express Bank Ltd., the Bank of New York and First&lt;br /&gt;Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;The BCCI study also shows that on an average working day in&lt;br /&gt;1984, BCCI conducted 1,434 transactions involving $2.7 billion&lt;br /&gt;with the five banks.  Most of those transactions (700 in all,&lt;br /&gt;worth $1.7 billion) involved Bank of America--even though Bank of&lt;br /&gt;America had sold its stake in BCCI in 1980.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAPITALIST UTOPIAS:  The rapid growth of the global economy also&lt;br /&gt;produced dramatic changes in the very structure of the&lt;br /&gt;international economic system.  Massive military expenditures from&lt;br /&gt;Vietnam--along with increased imports--caused billions of dollars&lt;br /&gt;to flow out of the United States.  In the '60s, banks began&lt;br /&gt;loaning these dollars--called "Eurodollars" because they were&lt;br /&gt;often held in European banks--to corporations, thus creating the&lt;br /&gt;world's first unregulated, international financial market.  In&lt;br /&gt;1963, only about $148 million worth of bonds or loans were issued&lt;br /&gt;in the Eurodollar market.  By 1988 over $721 billion worth of&lt;br /&gt;securities and loans were made in the market.&lt;br /&gt;Most Eurodollar trading occurs in what are known as offshore&lt;br /&gt;havens.  Typically these havens--located in places like Panama,&lt;br /&gt;Hong Kong and the Bahamas--operate as a kind of capitalist utopia&lt;br /&gt;for transnational corporations.  Strict bank-secrecy laws protect&lt;br /&gt;depositors from the prying eyes of tax collectors or foreign&lt;br /&gt;investigators.  Lax local regulations allow foreign banks to carry&lt;br /&gt;on many activities--such as selling stocks and bonds--that may be&lt;br /&gt;illegal or tightly regulated in their home countries.  More&lt;br /&gt;importantly, taxes are virtually non-existent.&lt;br /&gt;Today, offshore havens manage over $5 trillion worth of assets-&lt;br /&gt;-nearly the size of the U.S. gross national product for 1990.  But&lt;br /&gt;before the rise of the Eurodollar market, many of these havens&lt;br /&gt;didn't exist or played only a minor role in international finance.&lt;br /&gt;The Cayman Islands, for example, didn't set up shop as an offshore&lt;br /&gt;center until the mid-'60s.  But by 1990, the Caribbean nation was&lt;br /&gt;home to over 500 banks from all over the world--including 46 of&lt;br /&gt;the 50 largest--holding over $250 billion in assets.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI was one of the banks that most profited from the rise of&lt;br /&gt;offshore finance.  It capitalized by setting up its headquarters&lt;br /&gt;in Luxembourg, an offshore haven, and by establishing subsidiaries&lt;br /&gt;in dozens of other havens.  By 1990, for example, its Cayman&lt;br /&gt;Islands subsidiary held over $7.5 billion worth of assets.&lt;br /&gt;By the start of the '90s, BCCI and other banks that operated out&lt;br /&gt;of the offshore financial havens played key roles in the new&lt;br /&gt;economic order dominated by multinational corporations.  As the&lt;br /&gt;United States learned when it was forced to end fixed exchange&lt;br /&gt;rates, the new global economic system was too powerful for any one&lt;br /&gt;government to control.  For BCCI, as well as for international&lt;br /&gt;criminal elements, this was a dream come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PEEKABOO FINANCE:  From the start, BCCI understood the beauty of&lt;br /&gt;offshore finance.  Operating out of regulation-free havens, BCCI&lt;br /&gt;was able to embark on what international investigators have called&lt;br /&gt;"the most complex deception in banking history."  To hide the fact&lt;br /&gt;that BCCI "may never have been profitable in its entire history,"&lt;br /&gt;BCCI's auditors say that top executives used the offshore system&lt;br /&gt;to set up "a massive and complex web of fictitious transactions."&lt;br /&gt;Over a 15-year period, BCCI shuffled nearly $15 billion through&lt;br /&gt;over 750 accounts.  For example, after losing an astonishing $849&lt;br /&gt;million speculating in U.S. Treasury bonds between 1979 and 1986,&lt;br /&gt;BCCI executives simply parked the losses in its Cayman Islands&lt;br /&gt;subsidiary, where bank regulators wouldn't find them.  Then it&lt;br /&gt;illegally shuffled new deposits through various havens to make it&lt;br /&gt;look as if hundreds of millions of dollars worth of loans to BCCI&lt;br /&gt;executives and large shareholders were being repaid.  In fact,&lt;br /&gt;they weren't.  As Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY) recently stated,&lt;br /&gt;"BCCI fell between the international cracks."&lt;br /&gt;These cracks are beginning to look more and more like canyons.&lt;br /&gt;Law-enforcement experts say that offshore banks provide essential&lt;br /&gt;financial services for many of the world's most profitable crimes,&lt;br /&gt;including the drug business (in which $300 billion is laundered&lt;br /&gt;worldwide each year, according to the State Department), tax fraud&lt;br /&gt;(which, according to the Internal Revenue Service, totals $100&lt;br /&gt;billion a year in the United States alone) and securities fraud&lt;br /&gt;(which adds up to $10 billion annually in the United States,&lt;br /&gt;according to a recent private study).  Offshore banking also aids&lt;br /&gt;the Mafia (which launders over $70 billion annually, according to&lt;br /&gt;the FBI) and black-market arms traffickers.  (Offshore bank&lt;br /&gt;accounts were used in the Iran-contra affair, illegal arms sales&lt;br /&gt;to Iraq and several recent illegal sales of technology used to&lt;br /&gt;make nuclear bombs.)  Furthermore, Sen.  John Kerry (D-MA)&lt;br /&gt;contends that "billions" looted from U.S. savings-and-loans ended&lt;br /&gt;up in secret offshore accounts.  Such accounts were also used by&lt;br /&gt;the perpetrators of Watergate, as well as the recent scandals at&lt;br /&gt;the Department of Housing and Urban Development and at the&lt;br /&gt;Pentagon.&lt;br /&gt;As a full-service bank, BCCI diversified into almost all of&lt;br /&gt;these criminal activities.  But before exploring its role as a&lt;br /&gt;"Bank of Crooks and Criminals International," it's worth&lt;br /&gt;remembering that some of BCCI's largest crimes were quite legal--&lt;br /&gt;at least in the context of the lawless offshore financial system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A FREE LUNCH:  Consider, for example, taxes.  While Aziz Rehman&lt;br /&gt;was carrying large bags of cash around Miami for BCCI, he noticed&lt;br /&gt;that many of the bank's clients weren't interested in drugs or&lt;br /&gt;arms or weird CIA plots.  They simply wanted to avoid taxes.  In&lt;br /&gt;one case--uncovered by the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism,&lt;br /&gt;Narcotics and International Operations, which is headed by Sen.&lt;br /&gt;Kerry--Modern Health Care had BCCI wire $20 million into an&lt;br /&gt;account in the Caribbean.&lt;br /&gt;"They got interest over there, and they never showed that&lt;br /&gt;interest into the United States [for tax purposes]," Rehman&lt;br /&gt;remembers.  "That's why people deposit outside the United States.&lt;br /&gt;But BCCI is by no means the only bank that has been involved in&lt;br /&gt;tax fraud.  Using offshore havens to avoid the IRS has become&lt;br /&gt;standard operating procedure for many financial institutions.  In&lt;br /&gt;the mid-'70s, for example, while New York City was going broke and&lt;br /&gt;drastically cutting social services, city officials charged that&lt;br /&gt;Citibank had used offshore havens to avoid over $30 million in&lt;br /&gt;taxes.  In this case, Citibank created a series of fictitious&lt;br /&gt;transactions that made it look as if its subsidiaries in America&lt;br /&gt;and Europe were losing money.  Then, the profits were recorded in&lt;br /&gt;subsidiaries located in offshore havens.  (A Reagan appointee to&lt;br /&gt;the Securities and Exchange Commission eventually dropped charges&lt;br /&gt;against the bank, explaining that he did "not subscribe to the&lt;br /&gt;theory that a company that violates tax and exchange-control&lt;br /&gt;regulations is a bad corporation.")&lt;br /&gt;Foreign corporations have also used the offshore system to avoid&lt;br /&gt;paying U.S. taxes.  For example, the IRS claims that foreign&lt;br /&gt;multinational corporations operating in the United States avoided&lt;br /&gt;between $13 billion and $30 billion worth of U.S. taxes in the&lt;br /&gt;'80s.&lt;br /&gt;The issue of tax fraud in the BCCI scandal has been virtually&lt;br /&gt;ignored by the mainstream media, but it has had a horrifying&lt;br /&gt;effect on the quality of life in America.  Over time, the ability&lt;br /&gt;of banks like BCCI to help corporations avoid taxes, has left a&lt;br /&gt;big hole in local, state and federal budgets.&lt;br /&gt;In 1950, when offshore finance and multinational production&lt;br /&gt;didn't play a very important role in the world's economy, U.S.&lt;br /&gt;corporations paid 26 percent of all state, local and federal&lt;br /&gt;taxes.  But by 1990, their share had dropped to only 8 percent.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, offshore banking wasn't the only reason for this&lt;br /&gt;decline--but it certainly helped.  If U.S. corporations still paid&lt;br /&gt;26 percent of all taxes, they would have paid an extra $329&lt;br /&gt;billion in 1990 alone.  This number is worth remembering when&lt;br /&gt;people talk about BCCI as simply a case of bank fraud, far removed&lt;br /&gt;from problems like poverty, bad schools or potholes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;|       `Bank of Crooks and Criminals International' had         |&lt;br /&gt;|      links to U.S. intelligence and Third World tyrants        |&lt;br /&gt;|                                                                |&lt;br /&gt;|       It's no wonder the Bank of Credit and Commerce           |&lt;br /&gt;|     International (BCCI) is enmeshed in one of the             |&lt;br /&gt;|     biggest financial scandals of the 20th century.  A         |&lt;br /&gt;|     list of BCCI's shareholders reads like a who's who of      |&lt;br /&gt;|     corrupt Third-World elites.  Most of them have a long      |&lt;br /&gt;|     history of involvement in major arms deals or              |&lt;br /&gt;|     corporate bribery scams.  In addition, several key         |&lt;br /&gt;|     BCCI insiders have extensive ties to Western               |&lt;br /&gt;|     intelligence agencies.                                     |&lt;br /&gt;|       These same figures helped loot the bank, receiving       |&lt;br /&gt;|     hundreds of millions of dollars worth of loans that        |&lt;br /&gt;|     were never repaid.                                         |&lt;br /&gt;|       One major shareholder and a front man for BCCI's         |&lt;br /&gt;|     illegal purchases of various American banks--              |&lt;br /&gt;|     including First American Bankshares in Washington,         |&lt;br /&gt;|     D.C.--was Sheikh Kamal Adham, the brother-in-law of        |&lt;br /&gt;|     the late Saudi King Faisal.  During the `60s and           |&lt;br /&gt;|     `70s, Kamal ran the Saudi equivalent of the FBI and        |&lt;br /&gt;|     CIA.  And like many members of the Saudi ruling            |&lt;br /&gt;|     family, he often demanded commissions (a polite way        |&lt;br /&gt;|     of saying bribe) from multinational corporations           |&lt;br /&gt;|     operating around the mideast.                              |&lt;br /&gt;|       In the `50s and `60s, Kamal accepted kickbacks from      |&lt;br /&gt;|     the Japanese in return for cheap oil.  He also took        |&lt;br /&gt;|     commissions for arms deals set up for Northrup and         |&lt;br /&gt;|     two other U.S. arms dealers.  In the '70s, according       |&lt;br /&gt;|     to the "Wall Street Journal," he was paid "many            |&lt;br /&gt;|     millions of dollars in commission" by Boeing to            |&lt;br /&gt;|     persuade the Egyptians to buy its planes.                  |&lt;br /&gt;|       Besides his extensive ties to the U.S. arms              |&lt;br /&gt;|     industry, Kamal maintained close ties to Western           |&lt;br /&gt;|     intelligence agencies.  In 1977, the "Washington           |&lt;br /&gt;|     Post" described Kamal as the CIA's "liason man" in         |&lt;br /&gt;|     the region and noted that Kamal had hired former CIA       |&lt;br /&gt;|     station chief Raymond Close as an adviser.  In the         |&lt;br /&gt;|     late `60s, Kamal acted as the CIA's intermediary to        |&lt;br /&gt;|     funnel payments to Anwar Sadat while Sadat was vice        |&lt;br /&gt;|     president of Egypt.  According to Larry Gurwin's 1990      |&lt;br /&gt;|     article in the business magazine "Regardie's," Kamal       |&lt;br /&gt;|     channeled hundreds of millions of dollars to Egypt         |&lt;br /&gt;|     after Sadat took power.  These funds convinced Sadat       |&lt;br /&gt;|     to expel Soviet military advisers in 1973 and to           |&lt;br /&gt;|     establish a closer relationship with the United            |&lt;br /&gt;|     States.                                                    |&lt;br /&gt;|       In Kamal's years as the head of Saudi intelligence,      |&lt;br /&gt;|     he was responsible for a number of human rights            |&lt;br /&gt;|     abuses, including torture and executions of political      |&lt;br /&gt;|     opponents.  Internal BCCI documents show that Kamal        |&lt;br /&gt;|     received over $313 million in loans from BCCI, most        |&lt;br /&gt;|     of which have not been repaid.                             |&lt;br /&gt;|       Other one-time BCCI shareholders with close              |&lt;br /&gt;|     connections to the CIA and the Western arms industry       |&lt;br /&gt;|     include Iran's now-ousted ruling family.  Shah             |&lt;br /&gt;|     Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, whose family held stock in          |&lt;br /&gt;|     BCCI as late as 1978, was installed in power in 1953       |&lt;br /&gt;|     by a CIA-backed coup against Mohammed Mossadeq, who        |&lt;br /&gt;|     had nationalized American oil companies.  In the           |&lt;br /&gt;|     `70s, before he was overthrown, the Shah purchased         |&lt;br /&gt;|     billions of dollars worth of arms from American            |&lt;br /&gt;|     companies.                                                 |&lt;br /&gt;|       Kuwaiti businessman Faisal Saud al Fulajj was a          |&lt;br /&gt;|     small BCCI shareholder.  According to the "Wall            |&lt;br /&gt;|     Street Journal," he accepted over $300,000 in bribes       |&lt;br /&gt;|     from Boeing while he was head of the Kuwait Airlines.      |&lt;br /&gt;|     Fulajj was also one of seven men who received $47          |&lt;br /&gt;|     million in bribes to illegally act as a frontman for       |&lt;br /&gt;|     BCCI's illegal and secret purchases of various             |&lt;br /&gt;|     American banks, including First American.                  |&lt;br /&gt;|       Mohammed Irvani was another frontman with ties to        |&lt;br /&gt;|     Western intelligence.  He set up a consulting firm         |&lt;br /&gt;|     with former CIA director Richard Helms in 1977.            |&lt;br /&gt;|       Ali Mohammed Shorafa was a small BCCI shareholder        |&lt;br /&gt;|     and yet another frontman in the First American             |&lt;br /&gt;|     affair.  According to columnist Jack Anderson and          |&lt;br /&gt;|     "Regardie's" magazine, Shorafa financed a company          |&lt;br /&gt;|     that received an exclusive contract to ship U.S. arms      |&lt;br /&gt;|     to Egypt right after the Camp David accords.               |&lt;br /&gt;|     Internal BCCI documents show that BCCI gave Fulajj at      |&lt;br /&gt;|     least $113 million in loans and Shorafa $123 million       |&lt;br /&gt;|     in loans.                                                  |&lt;br /&gt;|       Agha Hasan Abedi, BCCI's founder, kept close ties        |&lt;br /&gt;|     to Pakistani military and intelligence officials.          |&lt;br /&gt;|     Abedi hired a number of bank officials with links to       |&lt;br /&gt;|     the Pakistani military or intelligence services.  The      |&lt;br /&gt;|     "Financial Times" of London has reported that the CIA      |&lt;br /&gt;|     used BCCI to funnel payments to the Pakistani              |&lt;br /&gt;|     military.  Recently, the "Wall Street Journal              |&lt;br /&gt;|     reported that one top Pakistani official who refused       |&lt;br /&gt;|     to extradite Abedi to the United States to face            |&lt;br /&gt;|     charges of fraud and larceny, "had received (from          |&lt;br /&gt;|     BCCI) a monthly stipend, free travel, a home loan and      |&lt;br /&gt;|     an expensive automobile."                                  |&lt;br /&gt;|       Abedi was so close to Pakistani Dictator Zia al-         |&lt;br /&gt;|     Haq, that Zia rushed to Abedi's bedside when the           |&lt;br /&gt;|     banker had a heart attack.  Zia's term in office           |&lt;br /&gt;|     produced massive human rights violations and               |&lt;br /&gt;|     continual allegations that top Kaistani officials          |&lt;br /&gt;|     were involved in the lucrative heroin trade.  Zia          |&lt;br /&gt;|     overthrew the democratically elected government of         |&lt;br /&gt;|     Zulfikav Ali Bhutto and executed Bhutto.                   |&lt;br /&gt;|       The U.S. government rewarded Zia's support for the       |&lt;br /&gt;|     Afghan rebels with $2.1 billion worth of U.S.  Agency      |&lt;br /&gt;|     for International Development grants and hundreds of       |&lt;br /&gt;|     millions of dollars in military aid.                       |&lt;br /&gt;|       The bin Mahfouz family--which owns Saudi Arabia's        |&lt;br /&gt;|     largest bank--sold its 20 percent stake in BCCI in         |&lt;br /&gt;|     1990.  The family also has a long history of               |&lt;br /&gt;|     corruption and financial fraud.  In the late `70s,         |&lt;br /&gt;|     for example, the family teamed up with the Hunt            |&lt;br /&gt;|     brothers, infamous Texas oil barons, in an illegal         |&lt;br /&gt;|     attempt to manipulate the price of silver by               |&lt;br /&gt;|     cornering the world silver market.  The operation          |&lt;br /&gt;|     nearly touched off a worldwide financial panic before      |&lt;br /&gt;|     it was halted by U.S. regulators.  More recently, the      |&lt;br /&gt;|     bin Mahfouz family used BCCI as a private piggy bank,      |&lt;br /&gt;|     receiving over $176 million in unsecured loans from        |&lt;br /&gt;|     the bank.                                                  |&lt;br /&gt;|       Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, the ruler of Abu      |&lt;br /&gt;|     Dhabi and head of the United Arab Emirates us BCCI's       |&lt;br /&gt;|     largest shareholder.  He rose to power in 1966 when        |&lt;br /&gt;|     the British encouraged him to overthrow his brother,       |&lt;br /&gt;|     Sheikh Shakbut, who provoked widespread unrest by          |&lt;br /&gt;|     refusing to spend his oil revenues on various              |&lt;br /&gt;|     development schemes.  (Shakbut once justified his          |&lt;br /&gt;|     policies by saying the oil companies needed the money      |&lt;br /&gt;|     more than the citizens of his country did.)                |&lt;br /&gt;|       Sheik Zayed proved to be the more enlightened            |&lt;br /&gt;|     ruler, spending billions to establish a social             |&lt;br /&gt;|     welfare state for the citizens of Abu Dhabi.  But he       |&lt;br /&gt;|     still treats Abu Dhabi's oil revenues (about $1            |&lt;br /&gt;|     billion a month) as personal income, using it to           |&lt;br /&gt;|     build lavish mansions around the world.  As a staunch      |&lt;br /&gt;|     U.S. ally, he has spent billions on U.S. and European      |&lt;br /&gt;|     arms.  President Bush recently asked Congress to           |&lt;br /&gt;|     approve another $648 million U.S. arms deal as a           |&lt;br /&gt;|     reward for Sheik Zayed's staunch support for the U.S.      |&lt;br /&gt;|     during the Iraq war.                                       |&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOOTING THE THIRD WORLD:  During the '80s, Americans weren't the&lt;br /&gt;only ones faced with cuts in social services and declining&lt;br /&gt;standards of living.  Between 1980 and 1985, average incomes in&lt;br /&gt;Latin America fell by 9 percent.  Some heavily indebted countries&lt;br /&gt;like Argentina (where incomes dropped 17.7 percent) and Bolivia&lt;br /&gt;(down 29.4 percent) fared even worse.&lt;br /&gt;But, as the average Latin American suffered, wealthy elites used&lt;br /&gt;banks like BCCI to take hundreds of billions of dollars out of&lt;br /&gt;their homelands.  Court documents and Senate hearings show that&lt;br /&gt;Panama's Manuel Noriega, Iraq's Saddam Hussein, the Philippines'&lt;br /&gt;Ferdinand Marcos, Haiti's Jean-Claude Duvalier and other dictators&lt;br /&gt;used BCCI to steal billions of dollars from native countries.  The&lt;br /&gt;BCCI affair illustrates how large multinational corporations have&lt;br /&gt;established close financial and political ties with corrupt&lt;br /&gt;Third-World elites, who used Western arms sales, political&lt;br /&gt;repression and the CIA to maintain their power (see accompanying&lt;br /&gt;story in box).&lt;br /&gt;But in going after the capital-flight business, BCCI wasn't&lt;br /&gt;doing anything out of the ordinary.  Estimates of how much money&lt;br /&gt;has been moved out of Third-World countries vary, but all of them&lt;br /&gt;are alarming.  Morgan Guarantee Trust, a U.S. financial&lt;br /&gt;institution, estimates that local elites transferred over $200&lt;br /&gt;billion out of the Third-World into the Western financial system&lt;br /&gt;between 1975 and 1985.  Other researchers have produced estimates&lt;br /&gt;as high as $660 billion--equal to about half of all outstanding&lt;br /&gt;Third-World debts.  Morgan Guarantee notes that the ten most-&lt;br /&gt;heavily indebted Latin American countries borrowed $375 billion&lt;br /&gt;between 1975 and 1985.  During that time, an amount equal to about&lt;br /&gt;half of that borrowed money was siphoned out of these countries by&lt;br /&gt;capital flight.  Venezuela, for example borrowed $36 billion, but&lt;br /&gt;had $41 billion leave the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BCCI'S PALS IN HIGH PLACES:  Such huge debts have left many&lt;br /&gt;Third-World countries dependent on the International Monetary&lt;br /&gt;Fund, the World Bank, the U.S. government and various other&lt;br /&gt;international development bodies.  But these bodies have promoted&lt;br /&gt;Third-World development strategies that stress foreign&lt;br /&gt;investment--thus increasing the power of multinational&lt;br /&gt;corporations.  BCCI was one of the primary beneficiaries of such&lt;br /&gt;policies.&lt;br /&gt;The IMF, the World Bank and the U.S. government have supported a&lt;br /&gt;number of projects to establish offshore havens.  BCCI's most&lt;br /&gt;notorious money-laundering operation occurred in Panama, where one&lt;br /&gt;BCCI official says he acted as Manuel Noriega's "personal banker."&lt;br /&gt;This, of course, wouldn't have been possible if a U.S. Agency for&lt;br /&gt;International Development official hadn't helped Panama set up an&lt;br /&gt;offshore haven in 1970.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI also had large operations in virtually every Caribbean&lt;br /&gt;offshore haven--and it established close ties to many Caribbean&lt;br /&gt;governments.  Internal BCCI documents show that the bank received&lt;br /&gt;large deposits from virtually every central bank in the Caribbean&lt;br /&gt;and from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), a regional lending&lt;br /&gt;institution that is heavily funded by the United States.  The CDB&lt;br /&gt;has provided many loans to Caribbean countries who wanted to set&lt;br /&gt;up tax-free industrial havens for multinational corporations.&lt;br /&gt;But ties between BCCI and development agencies went far beyond&lt;br /&gt;general policy discussions and the creation of offshore havens.&lt;br /&gt;The "Wall Street Journal" noted recently that "[t]he U.S.&lt;br /&gt;government was one of BCCI's biggest customers in Cameroon, with&lt;br /&gt;$10 million in U.S. Agency for International Development accounts.&lt;br /&gt;That is equal to about 5 percent of BCCI Cameroon's published&lt;br /&gt;assets."&lt;br /&gt;More importantly, "In These Times" has learned that the IMF&lt;br /&gt;contacted officials at central banks in Brazil, Argentina and&lt;br /&gt;Uruguay about BCCI's expansion into Latin America.  The IMF also&lt;br /&gt;gave BCCI advice on how the bank could expand its operations in&lt;br /&gt;Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Venezuela.&lt;br /&gt;The IMF further suggested that BCCI might get deposits from&lt;br /&gt;central banks in Latin America if it established correspondent&lt;br /&gt;bank relationships with these banks.  (Correspondent banks provide&lt;br /&gt;various financial services for each other, such as taking deposits&lt;br /&gt;and wire transfers.)  After it followed that advice, BCCI&lt;br /&gt;eventually established banking relationships with central banks in&lt;br /&gt;at least 30 countries around the world.  Because of BCCI's&lt;br /&gt;financial troubles, many of these banks may lose a large share of&lt;br /&gt;the money they deposited with BCCI.  One former World Bank and IMF&lt;br /&gt;official has already been indicted by Peruvian officials for his&lt;br /&gt;role in having Peru's central bank reserves deposited at BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI put together other deals that involved the World Bank and&lt;br /&gt;the IMF.  According to "Time" magazine, BCCI intervened in a&lt;br /&gt;dispute between the IMF and Jamaica over the country's inability&lt;br /&gt;to pay its mounting debts.  BCCI brokered a deal with the-lMF in&lt;br /&gt;which BCCI agreed to provide a new $48 million loan to Jamaica.&lt;br /&gt;Soon thereafter, Jamaica's central bank agreed to make large&lt;br /&gt;deposits with BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;One BCCI employee, Amjad Awan, also told Kerry subcommittee&lt;br /&gt;investigators that the World Bank suggested BCCI provide a loan to&lt;br /&gt;Bolivia.  After BCCI provided the loan, which was guaranteed by&lt;br /&gt;the World Bank, Bolivia's central bank began depositing money in&lt;br /&gt;BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN THE RED:  Ironically, as the IMF and the World Bank were using&lt;br /&gt;BCCI to help solve the debt crisis in several countries, BCCI was&lt;br /&gt;engaging in a number of illegal transactions that actually&lt;br /&gt;increased the debt various Third-World countries were paying.&lt;br /&gt;Jack Blum, a former counsel for the Kerry subcommittee, claims&lt;br /&gt;that BCCI became very active in "the business of brokering Third-&lt;br /&gt;World debt."  Many of these debts, which were in arrears, were&lt;br /&gt;nearly worthless or were being sold by banks for about 20 cents on&lt;br /&gt;the dollar to outside investors.  Blum says that these investors&lt;br /&gt;would contact BCCI, which would intervene with a Third-World&lt;br /&gt;government.  Under a scheme promoted by the IMF, the World Bank&lt;br /&gt;and the United States, many governments would agree to pay back&lt;br /&gt;all of the debt (not just the 20 percent that the investor had&lt;br /&gt;paid for it), if the debt-purchaser would invest the money in the&lt;br /&gt;debtor country or use the money to buy a company the country's&lt;br /&gt;government was trying to sell.&lt;br /&gt;But according to Blum, many investors made huge profits while&lt;br /&gt;investing very little in Third-World nations.  An example of such&lt;br /&gt;a transaction can be found in Argentina.  In the late '80s, BCCI&lt;br /&gt;bought Argentinian debt for an unknown discount, then had the&lt;br /&gt;Argentinian government redeem it at full value.  It's unclear how&lt;br /&gt;much BCCI paid for the Argentinian debt, which currently sells for&lt;br /&gt;79 cents on the dollar.  Assuming BCCI bought the debt at the&lt;br /&gt;current rate (which is a very conservative guess), the bank would&lt;br /&gt;have paid only $30 million for $38 million of debt, producing a&lt;br /&gt;quick $8 million profit.&lt;br /&gt;To hold up the bank's end of the deal, BCCI frontman Ghaith&lt;br /&gt;Pharoan then agreed to invest $38 million in a hotel and farm in&lt;br /&gt;Argentina.  But according to the "New York Times," Pharoan only&lt;br /&gt;invested about $10 million.  Assuming, conservatively, BCCI made&lt;br /&gt;an $8 million windfall on the deal, the bank, in effect, purchased&lt;br /&gt;a $10 million hotel for $2 million.  Argentina, on the other hand,&lt;br /&gt;spent $38 million to redeem its debt and received only $2 million&lt;br /&gt;in new investment money.&lt;br /&gt;Jack Blum laid out BCCI's illegal Third-World debt operations in&lt;br /&gt;an August 1991 testimony before the Kerry committee.  The debt&lt;br /&gt;scam, Blum pointed out, "is a very major business.  I think it&lt;br /&gt;runs to billions of dollars."&lt;br /&gt;Yet, like many of the other multibillion-dollar economic scams&lt;br /&gt;covered by this article, Blum's testimony attracted virtually no&lt;br /&gt;press attention.  Once again, the mainstream media's lack of&lt;br /&gt;interest in larger economic issues led it to ignore a scandal that&lt;br /&gt;has impoverished many Third-World countries.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI is not the first scandal of its kind.  In the early `80s,&lt;br /&gt;the Vatican bank scandal produced widespread calls for a tougher&lt;br /&gt;system of international bank regulations.  But nothing was done.&lt;br /&gt;As prosecutors sift through the wreakage of the BCCI affair,&lt;br /&gt;banks like BCCI continue to use offshore havens to help&lt;br /&gt;multinational corporations avoid taxes, and to aid corrupt Third-&lt;br /&gt;World leaders in looting their countries.  The international&lt;br /&gt;financial system still operates outside the control of any real&lt;br /&gt;government authority.  BCCI will happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Winslow is a New York City freelance writer who regularly&lt;br /&gt;covers white-collar crime and international finance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Part II, "In These Times" shows how larger economic issues shed&lt;br /&gt;new light on BCCI's more notorious operations--the bank's ties to&lt;br /&gt;the CIA, drug dealers, sleazy S&amp;amp;Ls, and influence peddlers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;                                   daveus rattus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                         yer friendly neighborhood ratman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                     KOYAANISQATSI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ko.yan.nis.qatsi (from the Hopi Language)  n.  1. crazy life.  2. life&lt;br /&gt;in turmoil.  3. life out of balance.  4. life disintegrating.&lt;br /&gt;5. a state of life that calls for another way of living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article 1633 of misc.activism.progressive:&lt;br /&gt;From: dave@ratmandu.corp.sgi.com (dave "who can do? ratmandu!" ratcliffe)&lt;br /&gt;Newsgroups: misc.activism.progressive&lt;br /&gt;Subject: will BCCI happen again?  bank on it.

A Senate&lt;br /&gt;subcommittee chaired by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has been&lt;br /&gt;investigating BCCI for several years.  From the start, the&lt;br /&gt;subcommittee encountered resistance from the administration.  For&lt;br /&gt;example, the Justice Department ordered key witnesses not to&lt;br /&gt;cooperate with Kerry.  The department also refused to produce&lt;br /&gt;documents subpoenaed by the subcommittee.&lt;br /&gt;But these machinations are only part of a much larger political&lt;br /&gt;scandal--the growing political power of financial institutions&lt;br /&gt;over every aspect of the American political system.  Over the past&lt;br /&gt;decade, securities firms, major banks, insurance companies and&lt;br /&gt;other financial institutions have given more money to Congress&lt;br /&gt;than any other industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from the October 30-November 5, 1991 issue of "IN THESE TIMES":&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;                BCCI   THE BIG PICTURE&lt;br /&gt;   New capitalism:  bank fraud, drug trade, espionage&lt;br /&gt;                  By George Winslow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its October 23 issue, "In These Times" began a two-part&lt;br /&gt;series on the broader economic and social issues of the BCCI&lt;br /&gt;affair.  Author George Winslow argued that the real scandal&lt;br /&gt;was not a lone wayward bank, but a world financial system&lt;br /&gt;out of control.  Winslow examined how, during the past two&lt;br /&gt;decades, multinational corporations rose to global economic&lt;br /&gt;dominance.  He then documented the way in which operations&lt;br /&gt;like BCCI use "offshore havens" to do these corporations&lt;br /&gt;banking.&lt;br /&gt;Such havens--located in places like Panama, Hong Kong and&lt;br /&gt;the Bahamas--free corporations from the taxes, oversight and&lt;br /&gt;laws of their home countries.  They also help Third-World&lt;br /&gt;leaders loot their own nations, thus increasing those&lt;br /&gt;countries debts and putting further strain on the shaky U.S.&lt;br /&gt;economy.  No matter what happens in the ongoing BCCI&lt;br /&gt;investigation, Winslow concluded, the offshore financial&lt;br /&gt;system that spawned the bank still operates outside of the&lt;br /&gt;control of any real government authority.  "BCCI will happen&lt;br /&gt;again," he wrote.&lt;br /&gt;In the following story, Winslow examines how larger economic&lt;br /&gt;issues shed new light on BCCI's more notorious operations--&lt;br /&gt;the bank's ties to the CIA, drug dealers, sleazy S&amp;amp;Ls and&lt;br /&gt;influence peddlers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVEN IN MIAMI, WHERE EXCESS HAS BECOME a fine art, David Paul, the&lt;br /&gt;chairman of CenTrust Savings Bank, stood out from the pack.  Paul,&lt;br /&gt;who raised lots of money for top Democratic Party politicians,&lt;br /&gt;used bank funds to buy a $13 million Rubens that he hung in his&lt;br /&gt;opulent estate and insisted that his $7 million yacht be built&lt;br /&gt;with 14 carat gold nails.&lt;br /&gt;But by the late '80s, Paul was in trouble.  CenTrust, like many&lt;br /&gt;other S&amp;amp;Ls, had suffered huge losses by speculating in securities&lt;br /&gt;and junk bonds.  For years he had hidden the losses with&lt;br /&gt;accounting tricks that were legalized by Congress and the Reagan&lt;br /&gt;administration.  But, as the public began howling about fraud in&lt;br /&gt;the S&amp;amp;L industry, bank regulators ordered Paul to make the losses&lt;br /&gt;public, a move that threatened to ruin his bank.&lt;br /&gt;To buy time, Paul used his political clout to arrange meetings&lt;br /&gt;with top regulators in the Reagan administration.  At the&lt;br /&gt;meetings, Paul introduced Ghaith Pharaon, a wealthy Saudi&lt;br /&gt;financier who had already bought 25 percent of CenTrust.  Paul&lt;br /&gt;implied that Pharaon and his wealthy Saudi friends planned to save&lt;br /&gt;the bank.&lt;br /&gt;Impressed with this display of wealth, regulators let CenTrust&lt;br /&gt;stay in business.  CenTrust lost more money and Paul kept throwing&lt;br /&gt;lavish parties--at one $122,000 affair he flew six famous chefs&lt;br /&gt;first class from the United States to France.  When bank&lt;br /&gt;regulators finally shut down CenTrust in 1990, taxpayers got stuck&lt;br /&gt;with a bill for $2 billion.&lt;br /&gt;The CenTrust fiasco took place in Florida and Washington--half-&lt;br /&gt;way around the world from Abu Dhabi, where a number of Bank of&lt;br /&gt;Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) executives are now under&lt;br /&gt;house arrest.  But the CenTrust affair illustrates how the sun&lt;br /&gt;never sets on the new world of bank fraud.  Ghaith Pharaon--the&lt;br /&gt;wealthy Saudi financier who was supposed to save CenTrust--was&lt;br /&gt;simply one of the front men that BCCI used to secretly buy and&lt;br /&gt;loot at least four American banks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PRICE WE PAY:  The "New York Times" recently assured its&lt;br /&gt;readers that many of BCCI's crimes would have little effect on&lt;br /&gt;Americans.  "[The] money laundering and other corruption at BCCI&lt;br /&gt;occurred largely overseas. ...  The criminals and most, if not&lt;br /&gt;all, of the victims of BCCI's scams were foreigners," the "Times"&lt;br /&gt;wrote.&lt;br /&gt;But that is not at all the case--and in this article, "In These&lt;br /&gt;Times" will examine how and why.  Many of BCCI's alleged crimes,&lt;br /&gt;such as its involvement in the S&amp;amp;L scandal, were conceived in the&lt;br /&gt;United States--and most of the bank's foreign criminal activity&lt;br /&gt;would not have been possible without the complicity of American&lt;br /&gt;business and government.&lt;br /&gt;Today, it would be hard to find an American who hasn't been&lt;br /&gt;victimized by BCCI.  Taxpayers have spent billions of dollars, and&lt;br /&gt;may have to spend billions more, to bail out banks looted by BCCI&lt;br /&gt;and its clients.  Financial services provided by BCCI and other&lt;br /&gt;banks helped international drug traffickers bring tens of billions&lt;br /&gt;of dollars worth of illegal narcotics into the United States.&lt;br /&gt;Arms transactions financed or administered by BCCI accelerated a&lt;br /&gt;Mideastern arms race that helped trigger the U.S.-Iraqi war.  And&lt;br /&gt;BCCI was not the only major financial institution to profit from&lt;br /&gt;bank fraud, arms deals and drug smuggling.  These problems--and&lt;br /&gt;the financial system that nourishes them--will continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SECRET INVASION:  Only five years after being founded in the Third&lt;br /&gt;World, BCCI began its invasion of America.  In 1977, several of&lt;br /&gt;BCCI's largest shareholders launched a hostile bid for the largest&lt;br /&gt;bank in Washington, D.C., Financial General Bankshares (now called&lt;br /&gt;First American Bankshares).  There were problems from the start.&lt;br /&gt;A number of the investors were simply BCCI front men, many of them&lt;br /&gt;with long histories of involvement in corporate bribery scandals.&lt;br /&gt;A Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation into the&lt;br /&gt;deal uncovered a wide range of illegal securities transactions.&lt;br /&gt;Normally these violations would have disqualified potential&lt;br /&gt;investors from handling billions of dollars in federally insured&lt;br /&gt;deposits.  But BCCI's high-powered legal team, headed by Clark&lt;br /&gt;Clifford--a former secretary of defense and adviser to four&lt;br /&gt;presidents--convinced the Federal Reserve Board to approve the&lt;br /&gt;deal on the condition that BCCI would not control the bank.  It&lt;br /&gt;was a condition BCCI ignored from the start.  Over the next&lt;br /&gt;decade, BCCI also used Ghaith Pharaon as a frontman to secretly&lt;br /&gt;acquire a minority stake in CenTrust, as well as controlling&lt;br /&gt;interests in the National Bank of Georgia and the Independence&lt;br /&gt;Bank of Encino, Calif.  As with its secret purchase of First&lt;br /&gt;American Bankshares, BCCI shifted money through a bewildering&lt;br /&gt;array of offshore havens to convince regulators that the banks&lt;br /&gt;were being bought by wealthy Arabs with lots of cash.  In fact,&lt;br /&gt;the real owner was BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;Then, BCCI used the same system of offshore finance to loot the&lt;br /&gt;banks.  For example, soon after BCCI lost over $849 million&lt;br /&gt;speculating in U.S. Treasury bonds, BCCI executives had First&lt;br /&gt;American Bankshares (FAB) pay $220 million for Ghaith Pharaon's&lt;br /&gt;shares in National Georgia Bank.  According to the "Wall Street&lt;br /&gt;Journal," FAB paid between $20 million to $60 million more than&lt;br /&gt;any other bank was willing to pay.  The deal had the effect of&lt;br /&gt;transferring $220 million from a very solvent bank, FAB, to&lt;br /&gt;Pharaon and BCCI at a time when the latter two were in deep&lt;br /&gt;financial trouble.&lt;br /&gt;Today, the effects of BCCI's involvement are plain.  FAB, once a&lt;br /&gt;solvent, well-capitalized commercial bank, is in dire financial&lt;br /&gt;straits.  Recently regulators gave FAB, which lost $182 million in&lt;br /&gt;1990, a rating of "four."  Five means the banks is broke and&lt;br /&gt;should be shut down:  one is an excellent rating.  The $11 billion&lt;br /&gt;bank, which now has $469 million worth of bad loans, could easily&lt;br /&gt;cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars if it collapses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEW RULES:  More importantly, the FAB fiasco illustrates how the&lt;br /&gt;new world of international finance has affected the American&lt;br /&gt;banking industry.  The increasingly unregulated international&lt;br /&gt;financial system of the '70s and American financial system as&lt;br /&gt;well.&lt;br /&gt;This deregulation dramatically changed the structure of American&lt;br /&gt;finance (see "In These Times," Oct. 2).  For the first time since&lt;br /&gt;the Depression, banks were allowed to expand their operations into&lt;br /&gt;the insurance and securities markets.  Savings-and-loan&lt;br /&gt;associations were permitted to make speculative investments in the&lt;br /&gt;commercial real-estate market--a practice that ruined many S&amp;amp;Ls.&lt;br /&gt;Large corporations, which had once raised most of their short-term&lt;br /&gt;debt from commercial banks, now turned to foreign banks and Wall&lt;br /&gt;Street firms.  Securities firms such as Merrill Lynch offered&lt;br /&gt;certificates of deposit--encroaching on a traditional market of&lt;br /&gt;banks--and channeled tens of billions of dollars into shady S&amp;amp;Ls.&lt;br /&gt;Finance companies--especially subsidiaries of large auto makers--&lt;br /&gt;stepped onto another traditional turf of the banking industry the&lt;br /&gt;auto-loan market.  Sears and other retailers. which were once&lt;br /&gt;content to sell power tools and lawn chairs, began peddling credit&lt;br /&gt;cards and stocks.&lt;br /&gt;These changes not only increased competition among financial&lt;br /&gt;institutions, but also reduced profits and led to increasingly&lt;br /&gt;speculative investments.  Deregulation led to a decade of&lt;br /&gt;financial fraud and mismanagement.  Like BCCI, some S&amp;amp;L owners&lt;br /&gt;used secret bank accounts in offshore havens to hide their&lt;br /&gt;ownership or to embezzle millions of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;Federal authorities made it easier for investors to buy banks,&lt;br /&gt;allowing many shady financiers to move into the industry.  Many of&lt;br /&gt;these financiers, such as Charles Keating and David Paul, set up&lt;br /&gt;elaborate business and political ties with BCCI's clients,&lt;br /&gt;advisers and shareholders.  These ties show that BCCI was not&lt;br /&gt;simply a foreign problem--and that the S&amp;amp;L scandal goes far beyond&lt;br /&gt;U.S. borders.  In the '80s, high-flying institutions like BCCI and&lt;br /&gt;CenTrust became magnets for con artists of all kinds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BCCI AND THE S&amp;amp;L SCANDAL:  For example, Charles Keating and his&lt;br /&gt;thrift, Lincoln Savings and Loan, invested millions of dollars in&lt;br /&gt;Trendinvest, an offshore company that speculated in foreign&lt;br /&gt;currencies.  According to the "Wall Street Journal," Lincoln&lt;br /&gt;suffered "large losses" from trades made at Trendinvest and&lt;br /&gt;"lawyers representing investors ... defrauded by Mr. Keating . .&lt;br /&gt;. accuse him of shifting money overseas through such mechanisms as&lt;br /&gt;foreign exchange losses."&lt;br /&gt;A BCCI executive, Alfred Hartmann, served on Trendinvest's board&lt;br /&gt;of directors and advised Keating on the foreign-exchange&lt;br /&gt;transactions.  In 1989, Lincoln Savings and Loan filed for&lt;br /&gt;bankruptcy--a move that cost taxpayers over $2.5 billion.&lt;br /&gt;Another notorious S&amp;amp;L con artist is Herman Beebe.  Beebe had a&lt;br /&gt;history of bank fraud as well as alleged business ties to the&lt;br /&gt;Mafia--which would normally have prevented him from buying a bank.&lt;br /&gt;But in the '80s world of deregulated banking, Beebe was able to&lt;br /&gt;secretly buy and loot at least 100 S&amp;amp;Ls.&lt;br /&gt;Beebe's exploits are documented in the book, "Inside Job:  The&lt;br /&gt;Looting of America's Savings and Loans," by Stephen Pizzo, Mary&lt;br /&gt;Fricker and Paul Muolo.  According to the authors, one of Beebe's&lt;br /&gt;closest business associates, Ben Barnes, set up partnership with&lt;br /&gt;John Connally, the former governor of Texas.  The partnership&lt;br /&gt;borrowed money from at least 17 S&amp;amp;Ls.  But the partnership failed&lt;br /&gt;to pay back many of the loans, due to the real-estate crash.&lt;br /&gt;Connally, a one-time US. treasury secretary, was forced into&lt;br /&gt;bankruptcy.&lt;br /&gt;In the late '70s, Connally owned a Texas bank with BCCI front&lt;br /&gt;man Pharaon, according to Stephen Fay's book, "Beyond Greed:  The&lt;br /&gt;Hunt Family's Bold Attempt to Corner the Silver Market."  Connally&lt;br /&gt;introduced the bin Mafouze family, BCCI's second-largest&lt;br /&gt;shareholder, to the Hunt brothers, the infamous oil barons who&lt;br /&gt;lost their $10 billion fortune trying to illegally manipulate the&lt;br /&gt;world's silver market.  The bin Mafouze family and Pharaon&lt;br /&gt;invested in the Hunt scam and suffered huge losses.&lt;br /&gt;Through Pharaon and CenTrust, the BCCI connection also leads&lt;br /&gt;back to the biggest con artists of the S&amp;amp;L scandal--Michael Milken&lt;br /&gt;and his firm, Drexel Burnham Lambert.  The Federal Deposit&lt;br /&gt;Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has charged that Milken, Drexel,&lt;br /&gt;CenTrust's Paul and BCCI rigged a sale of $150 million worth of&lt;br /&gt;junk bonds to make it appear as if CenTrust had raised more&lt;br /&gt;capital than it actually had.&lt;br /&gt;More importantly, a $6.8 billion suit filed by the FDIC alleges&lt;br /&gt;that Milken, Drexel, Keating and Paul set up a network of junk-&lt;br /&gt;bond buyers at CenTrust and other S&amp;amp;Ls who "wilfully, deliberately&lt;br /&gt;and systematically plundered certain S&amp;amp;Ls."  This network used&lt;br /&gt;"illegal and manipulative secretive trading activities" to trade&lt;br /&gt;bonds back and forth to each other, creating "an illusion of an&lt;br /&gt;efficient, growing and liquid market for junk bonds."&lt;br /&gt;In other words, the FDIC believes that the network created a&lt;br /&gt;bogus market for junk bonds that artificially inflated the prices&lt;br /&gt;for these bonds.  When the market finally collapsed, many S&amp;amp;Ls&lt;br /&gt;such as CenTrust, went broke, costing taxpayers at least $6&lt;br /&gt;billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOOKED ON DRUG MONEY:  Financial crime, however, wasn't the only&lt;br /&gt;toxic byproduct of global financial deregulation. The authors of&lt;br /&gt;"Inside Job" have noted that organized crime groups produced tens&lt;br /&gt;of billions of dollars worth of revenue each year.  These criminal&lt;br /&gt;organizations needed financial institutions to launder their&lt;br /&gt;profits:  "Thrift deregulation fulfilled ... those needs nicely.&lt;br /&gt;...  Not only had the rules been drastically eased, but the cops&lt;br /&gt;[thrift examiners] were no longer much of a threat, their ranks&lt;br /&gt;having been gutted after state and federal deregulation."&lt;br /&gt;Financial pressures also forced many banks to turn a blind eye&lt;br /&gt;toward money laundering.  Faced with declining profits, bad&lt;br /&gt;Third-World debts and increased competition, banks needed new&lt;br /&gt;deposits and customers.&lt;br /&gt;Handling drug money had been illegal in the United States since&lt;br /&gt;the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970.  But, in practice, the rewards often&lt;br /&gt;exceeded the penalties.  Between 1970 and 1985, only two thrifts&lt;br /&gt;were fined for money laundering.  And a federal crackdown on money&lt;br /&gt;laundering in the mid-'80s produced only $21 million worth of&lt;br /&gt;fines against 44 banks--a small portion of the $50 billion to $100&lt;br /&gt;billion worth of drug money laundered through American banks each&lt;br /&gt;year.  BCCI was one of the banks that capitalized on this booming&lt;br /&gt;industry.  Like many other financially troubled institutions,&lt;br /&gt;drug-cartel deposits helped BCCI hide its losses and keep growing.&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, BCCI executives worked very hard to keep their&lt;br /&gt;customers happy.&lt;br /&gt;Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, for example, received&lt;br /&gt;millions of dollars in kickbacks from the Medellin drug cartel.&lt;br /&gt;When Noriega set up a $25 million account with BCCI, bank&lt;br /&gt;executives issued him credit cards for his wife and mistress.&lt;br /&gt;They booked him into posh New York City hotels and they took him&lt;br /&gt;on shopping sprees at the city's largest department stores where&lt;br /&gt;Noriega ran up as much as $100,000 worth of credit-card bills.&lt;br /&gt;Noriega is believed to have laundered at least $90 million through&lt;br /&gt;BCCI.&lt;br /&gt;In other cases, BCCI actually helped drug dealers set up&lt;br /&gt;sophisticated laundering systems.  For example, when a U.S.&lt;br /&gt;undercover agent, Robert Musella, began depositing money from the&lt;br /&gt;Medellin cartel at BCCI, the bank sent Musella to Europe for a&lt;br /&gt;kind of seminar in laundering.  Then, BCCI set up a Byzantine&lt;br /&gt;system of offshore corporations and banks that Musella used to&lt;br /&gt;launder $16 million in drug money.&lt;br /&gt;Here, BCCI's skill at manipulating the deregulated U.S. banking&lt;br /&gt;industry played a key role.  At least some of the drug money that&lt;br /&gt;Musella was laundering for the Medellin cartel made its way&lt;br /&gt;through First American and other banks secretly controlled by&lt;br /&gt;BCCI, according to House Banking Committee investigators.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI taught Musella so much about the secret world of money&lt;br /&gt;laundering that government investigators were able to indict 85&lt;br /&gt;people and launch investigations into the activities of 41 major&lt;br /&gt;banks, including Bank of America.  BCCI eventually paid a $15&lt;br /&gt;million fine, only a small part of the profits it made from&lt;br /&gt;laundering over $1 billion worth of drug money for the Medellin&lt;br /&gt;cartel in the '80s.&lt;br /&gt;But while the mainstream media has focused on BCCI as a full-&lt;br /&gt;service bank for drug dealers, media reports have paid very little&lt;br /&gt;attention to money laundering by other major banks.  For example,&lt;br /&gt;Bank of America was hit with a $4.75 million fine for money&lt;br /&gt;laundering in 1986.  It was the largest money-laundering fine&lt;br /&gt;until the BCCI case.  Yet two years later, the financially&lt;br /&gt;troubled Bank of America was still laundering money.&lt;br /&gt;In 1989, U.S. investigators cracked an operation that used&lt;br /&gt;jewelry stores, BCCI and many other banks to launder over $12&lt;br /&gt;billion in cocaine profits for the Medellin cartel.  Major banks&lt;br /&gt;that accepted cash deposits from the drug-money-laundering&lt;br /&gt;organization included Bank of America ($32 million), Republic&lt;br /&gt;National Bank ($185 million), American Express Bank ($11 million),&lt;br /&gt;Citibank ($63 million), and Extebank ($138 million).  (BCCI, which&lt;br /&gt;received a $13 million wire transfer from the Bank of New York,&lt;br /&gt;was a relatively minor player in this scheme.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DRUGS, GUNS AND IDEOLOGY:  BCCI's money-laundering activities also&lt;br /&gt;have a political context that has been largely ignored by the&lt;br /&gt;mainstream media.  Over the last decade, the Reagan and Bush&lt;br /&gt;administrations have attempted to portray the war against drugs as&lt;br /&gt;a Cold War crusade.  By attacking "narco-terrorists," Reagan&lt;br /&gt;attempted to link Latin American revolutionaries and Latin&lt;br /&gt;American drug traffickers--thus justifying, for example, U.S.&lt;br /&gt;military intervention in Nicaragua.  Likewise, Bush recently sent&lt;br /&gt;military advisers to Peru to fight left-wing guerrillas involved&lt;br /&gt;in the drug trade.&lt;br /&gt;But, in fact, billionaires who run the drug cartels are hardly&lt;br /&gt;left-wing rebels.  They are a lot like most wealthy Third-World&lt;br /&gt;elites who use terror and illegal arms deals to maintain their&lt;br /&gt;power.&lt;br /&gt;In 1989, for example, Colombian officials raided the farm of&lt;br /&gt;Gonzalo Rodriquez Gacha, one of the founders and a top leader of&lt;br /&gt;the Medellin drug cartel.  Here they found hundreds of assault&lt;br /&gt;rifles that had been imported from the Israel Military Industries,&lt;br /&gt;the state-owned arms manufacturers.&lt;br /&gt;They also found a bizarre home video.  It showed members of the&lt;br /&gt;cartel at a paramilitary training camp attacking a mock village&lt;br /&gt;and firing their guns into homes.  The men were screaming&lt;br /&gt;"Communist guerrillas, we want to drink your blood"--hardly a&lt;br /&gt;slogan that Marxist revolutionaries would use.&lt;br /&gt;The weapons, Colombian officials soon discovered, had been used&lt;br /&gt;to assassinate a number of union leaders attempting to organize&lt;br /&gt;workers at large farms owned by the cartel.  The paramilitary&lt;br /&gt;camp--backed by the Colombian military and financed by the&lt;br /&gt;cartel--trained Colombian death squads.  The camp had been set up&lt;br /&gt;by Israeli arms dealers and former military officers.&lt;br /&gt;One officer, Lt. Col. Amatzia Shuali had trained military&lt;br /&gt;officers in Guatemala and Nicaraguan Contra rebels in Honduras.&lt;br /&gt;At the camp, members of the cartel learned how to make bombs that&lt;br /&gt;had been used to blow up a Colombian airliner with 117 passengers.&lt;br /&gt;This horrifying affair has been virtually ignored by the&lt;br /&gt;American media and it has not been covered in any of the articles&lt;br /&gt;on BCCI.  Yet "In These Times" has learned that U.S. government&lt;br /&gt;investigators are probing allegations that BCCI had ties to&lt;br /&gt;several of the people who set up the camps.  BCCI had a large&lt;br /&gt;number of branches in Colombia that were used by the cartels, and&lt;br /&gt;druglord Gacha was a BCCI customer.&lt;br /&gt;More importantly, the case illustrates how Cold War politics&lt;br /&gt;have corrupted the war on drugs.  In Colombia, this policy had&lt;br /&gt;disastrous effects.  After the discovery of one cocaine lab, U.S.&lt;br /&gt;officials claimed the drug trade was being run by the guerrillas.&lt;br /&gt;The charge was later proven false.  In fact, the Colombian&lt;br /&gt;military was aligned with the drug dealers.  One of the front&lt;br /&gt;companies used to set up the death-squad camps was actually owned&lt;br /&gt;by the Colombian minister of defense.  As a result, millions of&lt;br /&gt;dollars in U.S. aid, earmarked for the war on drugs, was actually&lt;br /&gt;going to fight the guerrillas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OFFSHORE A-BOMB INDUSTRY:  Guns for the drug cartels represented&lt;br /&gt;only a small part of BCCI's arms supermarket.  BCCI was involved&lt;br /&gt;in the sale of guns to the Contras and the CIA-backed Afghan&lt;br /&gt;rebels.  Gun dealers hired by the National Security Council's&lt;br /&gt;Oliver North used the bank to illegally sell tow missiles to Iran&lt;br /&gt;during the Iran-contra affair.  And the banks provided financial&lt;br /&gt;services for Silkworm missiles sold to Saudi Arabia, Scud-B&lt;br /&gt;missiles bought by Syria, weapons purchased by the Abu Nidal&lt;br /&gt;terrorist group, Mirage Jets acquired by India and helicopters&lt;br /&gt;sold to Guatemala.&lt;br /&gt;Some of the most terrifying deals apparently involved atomic&lt;br /&gt;bombs.  Sen. Alan Cranston (D-CA), has alleged that BCCI was&lt;br /&gt;involved in programs by Argentina, Libya, Pakistan and Iraq to&lt;br /&gt;build atomic bombs.  In addition, former Senate investigator Jack&lt;br /&gt;Blum says that Munther Bilbeisi, an arms dealer "whose brother was&lt;br /&gt;a [BCCI] branch bank manager" and a "major" BCCI customer, was&lt;br /&gt;involved "in an effort to sell enriched uranium from South Africa&lt;br /&gt;to the Middle East."&lt;br /&gt;In each case, arms dealers obtained export licenses under the&lt;br /&gt;pretext of shipping arms to a given country.  But the arms would&lt;br /&gt;never arrive at their official destination.  Instead using a&lt;br /&gt;system of dummy corporations and secret bank accounts at&lt;br /&gt;unregulated offshore havens, the dealers were able to illegally&lt;br /&gt;ship the materials to their real destination.&lt;br /&gt;So far, the "Washington Post" has been the only major paper to&lt;br /&gt;explain that the "global banking system ... makes it relatively&lt;br /&gt;easy to finance cross-borders smuggling of sensitive nuclear&lt;br /&gt;technology."  This is partly because "international banks ...&lt;br /&gt;are under no obligation to check whether the materials being&lt;br /&gt;transported are legal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BCCI AND THE CIA:  More importantly, very few media reports have&lt;br /&gt;put BCCI's arms sales in a larger context of American foreign&lt;br /&gt;policy and covert operations.&lt;br /&gt;The congressional Iran-Contra committee noted that then-CIA&lt;br /&gt;director William Casey "wanted to establish an offshore entity&lt;br /&gt;capable of conducting operations in furtherance of U.S. foreign&lt;br /&gt;policy that was `stand-alone'--financially independent of&lt;br /&gt;appropriated funds, and, in turn, congressional oversight."&lt;br /&gt;Like the transnational corporations that created the offshore&lt;br /&gt;financial world to avoid government control, the CIA was able to&lt;br /&gt;use BCCI and the offshore financial system to set up its own&lt;br /&gt;unregulated, private, foreign-policy apparatus.  In this way, it&lt;br /&gt;could ignore Congress, which had outlawed aid to the White House-&lt;br /&gt;backed Nicarguan Contra rebels, and public opinion, which was&lt;br /&gt;opposed to U.S. military intervention in the region.&lt;br /&gt;Countries that agreed to cooperate with this "secret&lt;br /&gt;government"--including Panama, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf&lt;br /&gt;states--received billions in U.S. aid and arms during the '80s.&lt;br /&gt;Arms dealers and banks like BCCI profited from the deals by&lt;br /&gt;charging huge fees and by receiving official protection for some&lt;br /&gt;of their illegal operations, such as drug smuggling.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI's history, structure and expertise made it a perfect&lt;br /&gt;vehicle for the secret government's covert operations.  Set up as&lt;br /&gt;an offshore bank, BCCI operated out of unregulated financial&lt;br /&gt;havens where covert operations could be easily hidden.  Like many&lt;br /&gt;other corrupt Third-World elites, BCCI's shareholders also had a&lt;br /&gt;long history of ties to Western arms dealers and intelligence&lt;br /&gt;agencies.&lt;br /&gt;Panama's Manuel Noriega was an important figure in the secret&lt;br /&gt;scheme to illegally fund the Contras.  Jose Blandon, a former&lt;br /&gt;Noriega aide, claims that the CIA advised Noriega to use BCCI as&lt;br /&gt;his bank.  Various published sources say that the CIA was&lt;br /&gt;depositing as much as $200,000 a year in Noriega's account at&lt;br /&gt;BCCI.  Noriega, in turn, helped Oliver North set up dummy&lt;br /&gt;corporations and secret bank accounts that were used to finance&lt;br /&gt;the Contras.&lt;br /&gt;Israel also played a key role.  Israel shipped Noriega more than&lt;br /&gt;$500 million worth of arms during the '80s, supplied the Contras&lt;br /&gt;with guns and helped sell weapons to Iran in the Iran-Contra&lt;br /&gt;affair.  BCCI is known to have worked with Israeli officials on&lt;br /&gt;several arms deals during this period.  The bank also provided&lt;br /&gt;financing for a number of arms shipments to Iran in the Iran-&lt;br /&gt;Contra affair.  Another country that acted as a CIA proxy in&lt;br /&gt;Iran-Contra was Saudi Arabia, which gave the Contras at least $22&lt;br /&gt;million.&lt;br /&gt;The Saudis also provided CIA-supported rebels fighting the&lt;br /&gt;Soviet-backed Afghan government with about half of their funds.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI's longstanding ties to Pakistan's military and to the Saudi&lt;br /&gt;royal family made the bank a logical choice to funnel CIA aid in&lt;br /&gt;Afghanistan.  Recently, Pakistan's finance minister, Sartaj Aziz,&lt;br /&gt;told the "Financial Times" that BCCI was used by the CIA to direct&lt;br /&gt;arms and money to the Afghanistan rebels.  The official also said&lt;br /&gt;that U.S. intelligence agencies had set up a slush fund for&lt;br /&gt;Pakistani military leaders who helped the Afghan resistance.&lt;br /&gt;During the same interview, the finance minister claimed drug&lt;br /&gt;traffickers in the region had used BCCI to launder profits from&lt;br /&gt;sales of heroin.  Furthermore, it's clear that the Afghan rebels&lt;br /&gt;sold drugs to buy arms.  ("We i must grow and sell opium to fight&lt;br /&gt;our holy war," a rebel commander once told the "New York Times.")&lt;br /&gt;And the CIA may have been involved.  "In These Times" has learned&lt;br /&gt;that government investigators are probing allegations that one CIA&lt;br /&gt;official supervised the BCCI-financed shipment of drugs and arms&lt;br /&gt;through Pakistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BANKING ON WAR:  But getting rid of BCCI won't hinder those&lt;br /&gt;government officials who, like William Casey and Oliver North, are&lt;br /&gt;determined to undermine American democracy.  It's important to&lt;br /&gt;remember that the CIA has used banks like BCCI for decades.&lt;br /&gt;During the '60s, '70s and '80s, for example, the CIA laundered&lt;br /&gt;money for coups and covert operations through the Castle Bank in&lt;br /&gt;the Bahamas, the World Finance Corporation in Florida and the&lt;br /&gt;Nugan Hand Bank of Australia.  Like BCCI, these banks had ties to&lt;br /&gt;organized crime figures, drug dealers and spies.  Like BCCI, they&lt;br /&gt;all had links to American banking and S&amp;amp;L scandals.  And like&lt;br /&gt;BCCI, fraud and speculative investments by top executives forced&lt;br /&gt;all three banks out of business.&lt;br /&gt;More recently, the CIA had ties with 22 failed thrifts that&lt;br /&gt;loaned money to people involved in "gun running, drug smuggling,&lt;br /&gt;money laundering and covert aid to the Nicaraguan Contras,"&lt;br /&gt;according to the "Houston Post."&lt;br /&gt;Over time, the booming CIA-backed arms trade has produced big&lt;br /&gt;profits for arms dealers and banks like BCCI.  But these black-&lt;br /&gt;market sales have also touched off a terrifying arms race in the&lt;br /&gt;Third World.&lt;br /&gt;Consider, for example, the role that BCCI and many other banks&lt;br /&gt;played in a secret operation to build up Saddam Hussein's military&lt;br /&gt;might.  Last summer, a joint investigation by ABC's "Nightline"&lt;br /&gt;and the "Financial Times" concluded that "Robert Gates was deeply&lt;br /&gt;involved as deputy director of the CIA in a major covert operation&lt;br /&gt;that funneled weapons and technology to Iraq. ...  The CIA's&lt;br /&gt;covert shipments put into Saddam Hussein's hand some of the most&lt;br /&gt;dangerous battlefield weapons in the world."&lt;br /&gt;To carry out these shipments, Gates--now the CIA director-&lt;br /&gt;designate--allegedly met with Carlos Cardoen, the head of&lt;br /&gt;Industrias Cardoen.  This Chilean company, which was the largest&lt;br /&gt;private supplier of weapons to Iraq, shipped more than $500&lt;br /&gt;million worth of weapons to Iraq in the '80s (see "In These&lt;br /&gt;Times," April 17 and Oct. 9).&lt;br /&gt;Industrias Cardoen is licensed to build and ship high-tech&lt;br /&gt;artillery guns created by arms dealer Gerald Bull and ArmsCor, an&lt;br /&gt;arms manufacturer owned by the South African government.&lt;br /&gt;In 1990, Gerald Bull was assassinated, allegedly by Israeli&lt;br /&gt;agents because he was working with Saddam Hussein to build a&lt;br /&gt;"supergun" capable of firing nuclear and chemical weapons.  Bull,&lt;br /&gt;an expert on advanced artillery, had a long history of illegal&lt;br /&gt;arms sales.  In the late '70s, a congressional staff report found&lt;br /&gt;that Bull had conspired with CIA agents to break the U.S. arms&lt;br /&gt;embargo against South Africa by shipping technology that allowed&lt;br /&gt;ArmsCor to develop sophisticated artillery guns.&lt;br /&gt;In 1990, the Inter Press news service reported that over 200 of&lt;br /&gt;these guns had been sold by Cardoen and ArmsCor to Iraq.  At least&lt;br /&gt;50 to 70 had been sold to the United Arab Emirates, which is&lt;br /&gt;headed by BCCI's largest shareholder.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI enters this affair in two ways.  In August, Britain's&lt;br /&gt;"Independent" newspaper alleged that BCCI had helped Bull's&lt;br /&gt;company, Space Research, smuggle propellant for Hussein's supergun&lt;br /&gt;from Belgium to Iraq.  The story, largely ignored in the United&lt;br /&gt;States, also reported that "a former deputy prime minister [Andre&lt;br /&gt;Cools] of Belgium was killed days after being given BCCI bank&lt;br /&gt;statements alleging bribes were paid to beat the arms embargo" to&lt;br /&gt;Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;BCCI also loaned at least $72 million to the Atlanta branch of&lt;br /&gt;the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL)--Italy's largest bank.  This&lt;br /&gt;BNL branch loaned Iraq over $4 billion between 1985 and 1989 and&lt;br /&gt;provided financial services that allowed Hussein to illegally buy&lt;br /&gt;hundreds of millions of dollars worth of arms and military&lt;br /&gt;supplies.  The BNL branch didn't have enough money to take on such&lt;br /&gt;large loans, so it illegally financed them by borrowing money from&lt;br /&gt;banks like BCCI.  The House Banking Committee says that Bull's&lt;br /&gt;Space Research Corporation was one of the companies that received&lt;br /&gt;illegal financing from BNL for Iraq's weapons program.&lt;br /&gt;Such deals helped keep Hussein in power and dramatically&lt;br /&gt;increased the political tensions throughout the Mideast.&lt;br /&gt;Confident that the arms would keep flowing, Hussein invaded Iran&lt;br /&gt;in 1980 and Kuwait a decade later--conflicts that cost more than a&lt;br /&gt;million lives.&lt;br /&gt;But in providing financial services to Saddam Hussein, BCCI was&lt;br /&gt;not alone.  In the BNL affair, for example, Bank of America&lt;br /&gt;transferred $72 million between BCCI and BNL.  J.P. Morgan, a&lt;br /&gt;major New York bank, acted as a clearing agent for BNL in the&lt;br /&gt;loans to Iraq.  And many large European corporations provided the&lt;br /&gt;technology and weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A WHITEWASH?  Fraud at BCCI burst into the headlines when bank&lt;br /&gt;regulators around the world shut down the bank this past July.&lt;br /&gt;But like the S&amp;amp;L scandal--which wasn't discovered by the&lt;br /&gt;mainstream media until hundreds of billions of dollars had been&lt;br /&gt;lost--warning bells at BCCI had been going off for well over a&lt;br /&gt;decade.  As early as the late '70s, British and American&lt;br /&gt;regulators were so worried about the bank's operations that they&lt;br /&gt;denied BCCI key regulatory licenses to expand its operations.  Yet&lt;br /&gt;BCCI marched on, illegally buying American banks and stealing&lt;br /&gt;deposits to cover its huge losses.&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the Reagan and Bush administrations actively&lt;br /&gt;obstructed a congressional investigation of the scandal.  A Senate&lt;br /&gt;subcommittee chaired by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has been&lt;br /&gt;investigating BCCI for several years.  From the start, the&lt;br /&gt;subcommittee encountered resistance from the administration.  For&lt;br /&gt;example, the Justice Department ordered key witnesses not to&lt;br /&gt;cooperate with Kerry.  The department also refused to produce&lt;br /&gt;documents subpoenaed by the subcommittee.&lt;br /&gt;But these machinations are only part of a much larger political&lt;br /&gt;scandal--the growing political power of financial institutions&lt;br /&gt;over every aspect of the American political system.  Over the past&lt;br /&gt;decade, securities firms, major banks, insurance companies and&lt;br /&gt;other financial institutions have given more money to Congress&lt;br /&gt;than any other industry.&lt;br /&gt;For example, the Center for Responsive Politics estimates that&lt;br /&gt;in the 1988 election, political action committees (PACs) for the&lt;br /&gt;finance, insurance and real-estate industries gave over $27&lt;br /&gt;million to congressional candidates.  That's about 26 percent of&lt;br /&gt;all business PAC contributions.  Common Cause estimates that&lt;br /&gt;between 1983 and 1988, the S&amp;amp;L industry gave $11.6 million to&lt;br /&gt;Congress and party committees.&lt;br /&gt;Despite a decade of financial scandals, this well-oiled lobbying&lt;br /&gt;machine has defeated every major attempt to enact tough new U.S.&lt;br /&gt;regulations over the financial system.&lt;br /&gt;In BCCI's case, the result has been a better cover-up than&lt;br /&gt;anything Oliver North ever concocted.  Washington's inaction has&lt;br /&gt;allowed BCCI to continue exploiting an obsolete U.S. regulatory&lt;br /&gt;system that was set up in the&lt;br /&gt;Some reforms may yet come out of the BCCI scandal--but Congress&lt;br /&gt;and the White House show little interest in fundamental change.&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the mood in Washington is for more deregulation, not&lt;br /&gt;less.  Sometime this year or next year, Congress is likely to pass&lt;br /&gt;White House-sanctioned legislation that will further deregulate&lt;br /&gt;the banking and financial industry (see "In These Times," Oct. 2).&lt;br /&gt;This legislation, which gives banks new freedom to buy insurance&lt;br /&gt;companies and set up shop on Wall Street, is designed to help&lt;br /&gt;American banks compete in the international financial system.  But&lt;br /&gt;by reducing government control, the legislation would simply give&lt;br /&gt;multinational corporations more power over the world's economy.&lt;br /&gt;Bringing these corporations under control won't be easy.&lt;br /&gt;Congress could pass laws putting banks out of business if they&lt;br /&gt;launder criminal money, and it could impose tough economic&lt;br /&gt;sanctions on offshore havens that refuse to cooperate with U.S.&lt;br /&gt;regulations and investigations.&lt;br /&gt;But tough U.S. laws might simply convince financial institutions&lt;br /&gt;to move their operations overseas, putting many Americans out of&lt;br /&gt;work and making it harder to finance this country's chronic&lt;br /&gt;government deficits.  It took a group of regulators from five&lt;br /&gt;major capitalist companies to shut down BCCI this past summer.  It&lt;br /&gt;will take many countries, acting together, to bring the system&lt;br /&gt;that created BCCI under control.  Given the current political&lt;br /&gt;climate, that is unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Winslow is a New York City freelance writer who regularly&lt;br /&gt;covers white-collar crime and international finance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;                                   daveus rattus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                         yer friendly neighborhood ratman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                     KOYAANISQATSI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ko.yan.nis.qatsi (from the Hopi Language)  n.  1. crazy life.  2. life&lt;br /&gt;in turmoil.  3. life out of balance.  4. life disintegrating.&lt;br /&gt;5. a state of life that calls for another way of living.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;____________________________________&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;See below for Pakistani site on BCCI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.defence.pk/forums/economy-development/48257-bcci-pakistans-international-bank.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BCCI: Pakistan's International Bank&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); "&gt;&lt;h2 class="title icon" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 14px; display: block; font: normal normal bold 14px/normal Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; "&gt; BCCI: Pakistan's International Bank&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250); "&gt;The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), a major international bank founded in 1972 by Agha Hasan Abedi (creator of UBL), a Pakistani financier. Registered in Luxembourg, with its head office in London and main operations running in Karachi, Abedi with his large number of Pakistanis in the field of international banking led the bank to become a global juggernaut with almost 80 per cent of the BCCI's top executive positions at the head office and in branches in various countries were held by Pakistanis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BCCI had an interesting structure. It was an elaborate corporate tangle, with BCCI's founder, Agha Hasan Abedi and his assistant, Swaleh Naqvi, in the center. This convoluted structure was an essential component to its amazing growth – and guaranteed its eventual collapse. The structure was conceived of by Abedi for the specific purpose of evading regulation or control by governments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISI had a large hand in developing and running the bank and used it for financing amongst many things Nuclear armament of pakistan, financing mujahideen and other such endeavors around the world. From CIA to Abu Nidal, all and everyone had an account with BCCI and it become the 7th largest bank on the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately its amazing growth, coupled with its links with terrorist and nuclear armament caused it to be shut down by an american committee led by John Kerry. The final nail in the coffin came when BCCI acquired an american bank and the americans were not happy with a Pakistani Conglomerate running worldwide finance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BCCI, AQ Khan and many other pakistani ventures made the west suspicious of Pakistani's and they were kept away from higher tier banking, science and other institutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like today when pakistani financiers are not allowed to buy stock in US and many other wester countries, hindering progress and development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;Head Office in Pakistan Karachi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Conference Hall in Karachi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was shut down in 1990.

Research was contributed by Mark Burdman, Elisabeth Hellenbroich, Paolo Raimondi, and Scott Thompson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;............................................................................&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time magazine has characterized financier George Soros as a "modern-day Robin Hood," who robs from the rich to give to the poor countries of eastern Europe and Russia. It claimed that Soros makes huge financial gains by speculating against western central banks, in order to use his profits to help the emerging post-communist economies of eastern Europe and former Soviet Union, to assist them to create what he calls an "Open Society." The Time statement is entirely accurate in the first part, and entirely inaccurate in the second. He robs from rich western countries, and uses his profits to rob even more savagely from the East, under the cloak of "philanthropy." His goal is to loot wherever and however he can. Soros has been called the master manipulator of "hit-and-run capitalism."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we shall see, what Soros means by "open," is a society that allows him and his financial predator friends to loot the resources and precious assets of former Warsaw Pact economies. By bringing people like Jeffrey Sachs or Sweden's Anders Aslund and their economic shock therapy into these economies, Soros lays the groundwork for buying up the assets of whole regions of the world at dirt-cheap prices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The man who broke the Bank of England?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An examination of Soros's secretive financial network is vital to understand the true dimension of the "Soros problem" in eastern Europe and other nations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following the crisis of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism of September 1992, when the Bank of England was forced to abandon efforts to stabilize the pound sterling, a little-known financial figure emerged from the shadows, to boast that he had personally made over $1 billion in speculation against the British pound. The speculator was the Hungarian-born George Soros, who spent the war in Hungary under false papers working for the Nazi government, identifying and expropriating the property of wealthy fellow Jews. Soros left Hungary after the war, and established American citizenship after some years in London. Today, Soros is based in New York, but that tells little, if anything, of who and what he is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following his impressive claims to possession of a "Midas touch," Soros has let his name be publicly used in a blatant attempt to influence world financial markets---an out-of-character act for most financial investors, who prefer to take advantage of situations not yet discovered by rivals, and keep them secret. Soros the financier is as much a political animal, as a financial speculator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soros proclaimed in March 1993, with great publicity, that the price of gold was about to rise sharply; he said that he had just gotten "inside information" that China was about to buy huge sums of gold for its booming economy. Soros was able to trigger a rush into buying gold, which caused prices to rise more than 20% over four months, to the highest level since 1991. Typically for Soros, once the fools rushed in to push prices higher, Soros and his friend Sir James Goldsmith secretly began selling their gold at a huge profit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, in early June 1993, Soros proclaimed his intent to force a sell-off in German government bonds in favor of the French, in an open letter to London Times Financial Editor Anatole Kaletsky, in which Soros proclaimed, "Down with the D-Mark!" Soros has at various times attacked the currencies of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Mexico, coming into newly opened financial markets which have little experience with foreign investors, let alone ones with large funds like Soros. Soros begins buying stocks or bonds in the local market, leading others to naively suppose that he knows something they do not. As with gold, when the smaller investors begin to follow Soros, driving prices of stocks or whatever higher, Soros begins to sell to the eager new buyers, cashing in his 40% or 100% profits, then exiting the market, and often, the entire country, to seek another target for his speculation. This technique gave rise to the term "hit and run." What Soros always leaves behind, is a collapsed local market and financial ruin of national investors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The secret of the Quantum Fund NV&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soros is the visible side of a vast and nasty secret network of private financial interests, controlled by the leading aristocratic and royal families of Europe, centered in the British House of Windsor. This network, called by its members the Club of Isles, was built upon the wreckage of the British Empire after World War II.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rather than use the powers of the state to achieve their geopolitical goals, a secret cross-linked holding of private financial interests, tied to the old aristocratic oligarchy of western Europe, was developed. It was in many ways modeled on the 17th-century British and Dutch East India Companies. The heart of this Club of the Isles is the financial center of the old British Empire, the City of London. Soros is one of what in medieval days were called Hofjuden, the "Court Jews," who were deployed by the aristocratic families.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most important of such "Jews who are not Jews," are the Rothschilds, who launched Soros's career. They are members of the Club of the Isles and retainers of the British royal family. This has been true since Amschel Rothschild sold the British Hessian troops to fight against George Washington during the American Revolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soros is American only in his passport. He is a global financial operator, who happens to be in New York, simply because "that's where the money is," as the bank robber Willy Sutton once quipped, when asked why he always robbed banks. Soros speculates in world financial markets through his offshore company, Quantum Fund NV, a private investment fund, or "hedge fund." His hedge fund reportedly manages some $11-14 billion of funds on behalf of its clients, or investors---one of the most prominent of whom is, according to Soros, Britain's Queen Elizabeth, the wealthiest person in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Quantum Fund is registered in the tax haven of the Netherlands Antilles, in the Caribbean. This is to avoid paying taxes, as well as to hide the true nature of his investors and what he does with their money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to avoid U.S. government supervision of his financial activities, something normal U.S.-based investment funds must by law agree to in order to operate, Soros moved his legal headquarters to the Caribbean tax haven of Curacao. The Netherlands Antilles has repeatedly been cited by the Task Force on Money Laundering of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as one of the world's most important centers for laundering illegal proceeds of the Latin American cocaine and other drug traffic. It is a possession of the Netherlands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soros has taken care that the none of the 99 individual investors who participate in his various funds is an American national. By U.S. securities law, a hedge fund is limited to no more than 99 highly wealthy individuals, so-called "sophisticated investors." By structuring his investment company as an offshore hedge fund, Soros avoids public scrutiny.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soros himself is not even on the board of Quantum Fund. Instead, for legal reasons, he serves the Quantum Fund as official "investment adviser," through another company, Soros Fund Management, of New York City. If any demand were to be made of Soros to reveal the details of Quantum Fund's operations, he is able to claim he is "merely its investment adviser." Any competent police investigator looking at the complex legal structure of Soros's businesses would conclude that there is prima facie evidence of either vast money laundering of illicit funds, or massive illegal tax evasion. Both may be true.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To make it impossible for U.S. tax authorities or other officials to look into the financial dealings of his web of businesses, the board of directors of Quantum Fund NV also includes no American citizens. His directors are Swiss, Italian, and British financiers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;George Soros is part of a tightly knit financial mafia---"mafia," in the sense of a closed masonic-like fraternity of families pursuing common aims. Anyone who dares to criticize Soros or any of his associates, is immediately hit with the charge of being "anti-Semitic"----a criticism which often silences or intimidates genuine critics of Soros's unscrupulous operations. The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith considers it a top priority to "protect" Soros from the charges of "anti-Semites" in Hungary and elsewhere in Central Europe, according to ADL National Director Abraham Foxman. The ADL's record of service to the British oligarchy has been amply documented by EIR (e.g. The Ugly Truth About the Anti-Defamation League [Washington, D.C., Executive Intelligence Review: 1992]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to knowledgeable U.S. and European investigators, Soros's circle includes indicted metals and commodity speculator and fugitive Marc Rich of Zug, Switzerland and Tel Aviv; secretive Israeli arms and commodity dealer Shaul Eisenberg, and "Dirty Rafi" Eytan, both linked to the financial side of the Israeli Mossad; and, the family of Jacob Lord Rothschild.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Understandably, Soros and the Rothschild interests prefer to keep their connection hidden far from public view, so as to obscure the well-connected friends Soros enjoys in the City of London, the British Foreign Office, Israel, and the U.S. financial establishment. The myth, therefore, has been created, that Soros is a lone financial investment "genius" who, through his sheer personal brilliance in detecting shifts in markets, has become one of the world's most successful speculators. According to those who have done business with him, Soros never makes a major investment move without sensitive insider information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the board of directors of Soros's Quantum Fund N.V. is Richard Katz, a Rothschild man who is also on the board of the London N.M. Rothschild and Sons merchant bank, and the head of Rothschild Italia S.p.A. of Milan. Another Rothschild family link to Soros's Quantum Fund is Quantum board member Nils O. Taube, the partner of the London investment group St. James Place Capital, whose major partner is Lord Rothschild. London Times columnist Lord William Rees-Mogg is also on the board of Rothschild's St. James Place Capital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A frequent business partner of Soros in various speculative deals, including in the 1993 gold manipulation, although not on the Quantum Fund directly, is the Anglo-French speculator Sir James Goldsmith, a cousin of the Rothschild family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;From the very first days when Soros created his own investment fund in 1969, he owed his success to his relation to the Rothschild family banking network. Soros worked in New York in the 1960s for a small private bank close to the Rothschilds, Arnhold &amp;amp; S. Bleichroeder, Inc., a banking family which represented Rothschild interests in Germany during Bismarck's time. To this day, A. &amp;amp; S. Bleichroeder, Inc. remains the Principal Custodian, along with Citibank, of funds of Soros's Quantum Fund. George C. Karlweiss, of Edmond de Rothschild's Switzerland-based Banque Privee SA in Lugano, as well as of the scandal-tainted Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich, gave Soros financial backing. Karlweiss provided some of the vital initial capital and investors for Soros's Quantum Fund.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Union Banque Privee and the 'Swiss connection'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another member of the board of Soros's Quantum Fund is the head of one of the most controversial Swiss private banks, Edgar de Picciotto, who has been called "one of the cleverest bankers in Geneva"---and is one of the most scandal-tainted. De Picciotto, from an old Portuguese Jewish trading family, who was born in Lebanon, is head of the Geneva private bank CBI-TDB Union Bancaire Privee, a major player in the gold and offshore hedge funds business. Hedge funds have been identified by international police agencies as the fastest-growing outlet for illegal money laundering today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;De Picciotto is a longtime friend and business associate of banker Edmond Safra, also born in Lebanon, whose family came from Aleppo, Syria, and who now controls the Republic Bank of New York. Republic Bank has been identified in U.S. investigations into Russian organized crime, as the bank involved in transferring billions of U.S. Federal Reserve notes from New York to organized crime-controlled Moscow banks, on behalf of Russian organized crime figures. Safra is under investigation by U.S. and Swiss authorities for laundering Turkish and Columbian drug money. In 1990, Safra's Trade Development Bank (TDB) of Geneva was merged with de Picciotto's CBI to create the CBI-TDB Union Banque Privee. The details of the merger are shrouded in secrecy to this day. As part of the deal, de Picciotto became a board member of American Express Bank (Switzerland) SA of Geneva, and two American Express Bank of New York executives sit on the board of de Picciotto's Union Banque Privee. Safra had sold his Trade Development Bank to American Express, Inc. in the 1980s. Henry Kissinger sits on the board of American Express, Inc., which has repeatedly been implicated in international money-laundering scandals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;De Picciotto's start as a Geneva banker came from Nicholas Baring of the London Barings Bank, who tapped de Picciotto to run the bank's secret Swiss bank business. Barings has for centuries been private banker to the British royal family, and since the bank's collapse in March 1995, has been overhauled by the Dutch ING Bank, which is reported to be a major money-laundering institution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;De Picciotto is also a longtime business partner of Venetian businessman Carlo De Benedetti, who recently was forced to resign as head of Olivetti Corp. Both persons sit on the board of the Societe Financiere de Geneve investment holding company in Geneva. De Benedetti is under investigation in Italy for suspicion of triggering the collapse of Italy's Banco Ambrosiano in the early 1980s.The head of that bank, Roberto Calvi, was later found hanging from the London Blackfriar's Bridge, in what police believe was a masonic ritual murder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;De Picciotto and his Union Banque Privee have been implicated in numerous drug and illegal money-laundering operations. In November 1994, U.S. federal agents arrested a senior official of de Picciotto's Geneva bank, Jean-Jacques Handali, along with two other UBP officials, on charges of leading a multimillion-dollar drug-money-laundering ring. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, Handali and Union Banque Privee were the "Swiss connection" in an international drug-money-laundering ri
