Well, I know that there's a mixed crowd about Wayne Madsen's reporting but THIS IS MORE EVIDENCE of what the Bush Crime Mafia has been up to.
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/SPECIAL REPORT -- U.S. BUSINESS AND BUSH FAMILY TIES TO OSAMA BIN LADEN REVEALED. August 21, 2005 -- One of the top U.S. contractors in Iraq was also intimately involved in the Bin Laden global financial empire. The U.S. construction and engineering firm Fluor Corp. has raked in handsome profits from reconstruction contracts awarded by the Pentagon in Iraq. Fluor, which received the lucrative contracts because it was included by the Pentagon on an "invitation only" short list of eligible contractors, has contributed over $500,000 to Republican candidates since 2000. Kenneth Oscar, a Fluor Vice President, was the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Procurement and was conveniently in charge of a $60 billion budget. One of Fluor's board members is retired Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, a former deputy director of the CIA and National Security Agency (NSA) director.
What is not known about Fluor is its long standing ties to the Bin Laden family's worldwide financial interests. WMR has recently obtained the copy of a French intelligence report on the Saudi Investment Company Organization (SICO), an operation controlled by the Bin Ladens. The report reveals that Fluor was an integral part of the Bin Laden financial empire through a network of interlocking off-shore companies and directorships registered in such locations as Curacao, the Cayman Islands, London, the Netherlands, and Virginia.
The Bin Laden banking organization is difficult to track -- but it is centered around the "nebulous" SICO (Saudi Investment Co. Organization), centered in Geneva and Jeddah with operations in Rotterdam, Bristol, London, Panama, Curacao, Cayman Islands and USA. SICO primarily engages in mergers and acquisitions. SICO also "talent spots" competent associates in new jurisdictions and off-shore locations.
SICO-Geneva was founded in 1980 and was headquartered in the law firm Lens & Shlup. In 1985, SICO Geneva changed its location to the domicile of Yaslem BINLADEN, at 2 de la rue FRANCOIS-LEFORT, Geneva. SICO-Geneva started with capital of 1 million FS. It was formed by YASLEM BIN LADEN (chairman), BEATRICE DUFOUR (member), BAUDOUIN DUNAND (member, attorney and signature authority), KJELL CARLSSON (member), BRUNO WYSS (member), and FRANK WARREN (member).
DUNAND is a prominent attorney in Geneva with the WILLIAM KAZAN financial group. KJELL CARLSSON is Swedish. FRANK WARREN is CEO of OMNISPORT, a sporting goods firm and President of PROTEUS, a maritime transport firm.BRUNO WYSS is from an important Swiss financial family and is linked to CHAKARJI family of Geneva (not to be confused with CHAKARJI family of Zurich, which is linked to drug money.
SICO-Geneva is represented in London by SAMI KHOURY, a Lebanese.
In 1987, SICO Geneva acquired a 75 percent stake in RUSSELL WOOD & CO. of London, a financial group. Two directors were named by SICO-Geneva: AKBAR MOAWALA and MOHAMMAD CHAKARJI, the latter linked to BRUNO WYSS of Geneva. In 1988, SICO-Geneva acquired 14.9 percent of SI GROUP, a machinery and engineering group.
The two mastermind heads are in Jeddah and Geneva. Two affiliated companies are FALKEN Ltd. of Georgetown and SICO of Curacao. The links between FALKEN and SICO-Curacao are clear.
SICO-Curacao's network is mainly engaged in real estate businesses in the EU and Great Britain. For those in the EU, the affiliate of SICO-Curacao is DANIEL US PROPERTIES LT. (DUSPIC). For Great Britain, the affiliate of SICO is ALLIANCE GENERAL MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL, INC., and we have found a relationship between SICO-Oman and TRAFALGAR HOUSE of Great Britain, which has a 65 percent holding in SICO-Cementation (Oman). FLUOR is a partner of SICO-Curacao, which is in London under the name FLUOR DANIEL.
SICO-Curacao was founded 13/04/84 at 62 Ruyterkade, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. The directors are YASLEM BINLADEN, SALEH BINLADEN, BEATRICE DUFOUR (Swiss), and T. CHARLES TICKLE (American). SICO-Curacao is a partner of DANIEL REALTY CORP. SICO-Curacao is a partner of DANIEL REALTY CORP., the network of which, DUSPIC, was registered 12/01/84 (a few months before the establishment of SICO-Curacao) in the state of Virginia, US. DANIEL REALTY CORP., apparently, is, itself DANIEL INTERNATIONAL CORP., which has since 1977 been part of the large global construction and engineering firms FLUOR CORP.
Up the chain, SICO-Curacao has a relationship with SICO-Jeddah and the financial links of the network and this affiliate is like such: SICO-Jeddah takes capital from the Saudis and other Arabs and invests it in SICO-Curacao which has authority over the financial affairs. Down the network, SICO-Curacao invests the capital in DUSPIC, which is in charge of real estate investments in the EU. The management of these investments is in charge of the partnership with SICO-Curacao, that is to say, DANIEL REALTY CORP.
In reference to BEATRICE DUFOUR, she is like a figurehead whereas T. CHARLES TICKLE, who is another director of SICO-Curacao, where he certainly represents DANIEL REALTY and FLUOR CORP., since he is found also as a director of DUSPIC and similarly as a vice president of DANIEL REALTY.
It is also elsewhere interesting to note that FLUOR, in partnership with SICO through the DUSPIC net, is very active in North Yemen, a country where the BINLADEN Group is not totally absent.
We are continuing to research the real estate investments in the EU and eventually, the SICO-FLUOR cooperation on construction projects in North Yemen.
In Great Britain, and the other link between SICO-Curacao and its ALLIANCE (on which we continue to investigate in Great Britain, to wit, SICO and the management role filled by DANIEL REALTY in the EU). we have detected the presence of FLUOR, the partner of SICO-Curacao, in the EU, from the base in London. Herewith, find the report on the activities of FLUOR DANIEL LTD. (UK).
Elsewhere, we have found a relation between SICO-Oman, which is involved in cement, and the big British firm TRAFALGAR HOUSE. Find herewith a report on TRAFALGAR HOUSE, which shows that it has a 65 percent holding in SICO-Cementation (Oman).
The second affiliate in this is FALKEN LTD., which is headquartered in the Cayman Islands. FALKEN LTD. is not assessed as an actual firm and does not seem active. We have detected the presence of a company named FALKEN LTD., with the following address in London: 1st Floor Offices, 8-10 Stamford Hill, London N16 6XZ. This company was registered 19/09/89,
FALKEN LTD., of the Cayman Islands, of which we continue to investigate, is a holding company that is controlled by SICO-London, which itself is controlled by SICO-UK.
SICO-London, a financial company, was founded 15/11/84 and its directors are Beatrice DUFOUR (Swiss), and AKBAR MOAWALLA (Tanzanian). The two are figureheads, MOAWALLA having replaced SALEH BINLADEN a few months after the formation of the company. SICO-London is controlled by holding company FALKEN LTD., and much of its business is conducted through TROPIVILLE BV of the Netherlands. Find herein a report on the activities of SICO-London.
FALKEN LTD. also controls SICO-UK, another financial company founded in Bristol 02/08/85 and whose directors are BAUDUIN DUNAND, JAMES R. G. LANYON, and JOAN K. LANYON. The LANYONS are figureheads. DUNAND is a specialist in financial setups and a lawyer. Most of the revenues (98 percent) are returned to FALKEN LTD. On 02/01/86, SICO-UK was acquired by SICO-Panama, which acted as an agent of SICO-UK. Find herein a report on the activities of SICO-UK.
Regard how the affiliates are passed by SICO-Curacao to FALKEN LTD. We did not find hard evidence that SICO-Curacao and FALKEN LTD are linked, but there are indications that those links have been created. The indication is the existence of TROPIVILLE BV in the Netherlands, which is in the network of FALKEN LTD. As we mentioned above, one finds TROPIVILLE as the principal shareholder of SICO-London, which is controlled by FALKEN LTD. Also, TROPIVILLE is headquartered in the Netherlands and SICO-Curacao is an off-shore company in the Netherlands Antilles, which is generally used for off-shore activities in Europe. The recurring Dutch connections with the two affiliates (SICO-Curacao and FALKEN LTD.) is another indication of the relations between SICO-Curacao and FALKEN.
There is a stinking air of treason and involvement with terrorism surrounding the Bush family. Additional European intelligence provided to WMR confirms that Osama bin Laden has been a major kingpin in drug shipments to Europe and North America since 1991, when he established a major drug smuggling network in Sudan and Saudi Arabia. When Bin Laden moved to Afghanistan in 1996, he re-established the drug smuggling networks initially set up by the CIA during the Mujaheddin war against the Soviets. The drug baron who headed up the Afghan heroin supply network for Bin Laden was code named "Kandahar." The drug smuggling operations were based alongside Bin Laden's terrorist training and weapons of mass destruction procurement activities in Osama Bin Laden's "Arab enclave" located at Khalden in Paktia province. According to a French intelligence report marked "CONFIDENTIEL DEFENSE/USAGE STRICTEMENT NATIONAL" (Defense confidential, "French Eyes Only"), U.S. and British intelligence elements continued to control Osama Bin Laden and his Khalden-based terrorist corps as of 1995, fully two years after "Al Qaeda" was found to be involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and one year prior to the Khobar Tower bombings in Saudi Arabia, the point at which the late FBI counter-terrorism agent John O'Neill began linking Al Qaeda to the Saudi royal family and certain American "interests."
The Al Qaeda drug supply network remains in operation and continues to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Bin Laden's global operations. All during the rule of the Taliban, Afghan drug mules hauling heroin abroad received a standard request for assistance letter from Mullah Mohammad Omar, the one-eyed Taliban leader. Mullah Omar dispatched a number of envoys to Washington, DC to have talks with senior Bush administration officials prior to 911. They all carried the same assistance request letter. The Mullah Omar assistance request letter is below:
The Bin Laden drug network also intersects with Geneva-based financial entities established by George H. W. Bush while he was CIA director and Vice President and President of the United States. Bin Laden and Bush money are held in some of the same financial tranches in Switzerland, the Isle of Man, and the Bahamas (see following story). The Bush family off-shore money tranches originated with gold bars and jewels spirited out of the Philippines upon the overthrow of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986. The Marcos fortune was the price exacted by Vice President Bush for his being granted asylum in Hawaii. The gold bars were transported from the Philippines to the International Diamond Exchange Vaults near Rockefeller Center. A CIA proprietary firm called Oceaneering International of Houston procured barges to move some of the gold from secured warehouses to a specially-configured Boeing 747 which then flew the cargo to New York. Oceaneering sealifted the remaining gold to Oregon. After George W. Bush’s victory in 2000, the last of the gold and jewels stored in New York was moved to UBS Bank in Zurich. Marcos and Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi set about to create Five Star Trust in 1983 as a means to create a vehicle to use the Philippine wealth to create and funnel fungible assets abroad. In 1989, Five Star Trust was officially established in the Isle of Man by a Houston-based attorney who was a close friend of the Bush family.
WMR is now in possession of a UBS letter to the Swiss Federal Police, dated October 30, 2001, which was in response to an October 2, 2001 request by the police to look for Bin Laden family "terrorist funds" (Terroristengeldern).The UBS letter states that two terrorist-related financial activities were detected with regard to the movement by Osama Bin Laden of suspicious funds in 1990 and 1991.
. On 20/08/90, there was a $450,000 transfer of funds into Osama Bin Laden's account. The deposit included "jewels." On 28/10/91, there was a $482,000 transfer of funds into Osama Bin Laden's account from the Saudi American Bank in Jeddah, the same bank Israeli intelligence directly tied into Saudi terrorist funding in the West Bank. (See "Intelligence Whispers").
As reported in "Intelligence Whispers," on August 21, 2001, just a few weeks before the 911 attacks, a UBS Warburg/Paine Webber broker named Chung Wu advised his investors to sell their Enron stock, whereafter UBS quickly fired the broker. In addition, the "Intelligence Whispers" report regarding the mysterious Bush-connected Geneva and Zurich money mover who transferred $10 million and $10 billion in Saudi and other funds to Texas in 1995 and 1996, respectively, has been positively linked to Al Taqwa, a Swiss entity tied to "Al Qaeda." A $50,000 check drawn on the 1995 funds was written to Fayyaz Ahmed, one of the 911 hijackers. The 1996 $10 billion transfer was for Enron's fraudulent LJM Cayman Islands front and was to finance a deal with the Taliban to build the trans-Afghan CentGas pipeline. (Enron, Halliburton, Unocal, Zalmay Khalilzad, Hamid Karzai, and Mullah Omar were all involved in the 1996 CentGas negotiations, which were held in Tashkent and Houston). WMR is also in possession of an audit letter from Ernst & Young giving a clean bill of health to an "Al Qaeda"-affiliated "charity" based in Kuwait, Lajnat al Dawa al Islamiya, which, in reality, supplied Taliban and Al Qaeda forces with assistance in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
WMR can also confirm that the Bush administration's cozying up to the Sudanese government (which once provided Osama Bin Laden safe haven) is another indication that the Bush family continues to engage in joint financial activities with Osama Bin Laden. It is likely that Sudan's southern Christian rebel leader John Garang was encouraged to enter into a peace agreement with Khartoum in a ploy for him to let down his guard. Just days after Garang became Sudan's Vice President, he was killed in a suspicious helicopter crash along the Ugandan-Sudanese border, an area where Pentagon Special Operations forces are present. As Vice President, Garang was in a position to discover Bin Laden's past and present activities in Sudan, including those that involve Bush family interests. While Sudan claims it no longer has any relations with Osama Bin Laden, it can now be revealed that Osama Bin Laden continues to operate the Al Shamal Islamic Bank in Sudan that was identified by the State Department in 1996 as being linked to Al Qaeda and Bin Laden. The "Al Qaeda" leader invested $50 million in the bank. The bank was used in 1993 to transfer $210,000 to a bank in Tucson, Arizona to finance the purchase of a plane to fly Stinger missiles from Pakistan to Sudan. The plane was flown to Khartoum. (According to the French intelligence report, Bin Laden was still under U.S. and British intelligence control at the time of the plane purchase and in 1993 Sudan was on the State Department's state sponsors of terrorism list). It is significant that Al Shamal's assets were never frozen by the United States nor was it designated a terrorist-related organization. The Sudanese claim that Al Shamal is no longer in operation and the Bush administration has not countered these claims. However, in October 2004 this photo (below) was taken in Khartoum (the bank was open for business and very busy):

August 21, 2005 -- Five Star Trust involvement with Bush and Cheney illegal money movements into the United States confirmed. French law enforcement authorities who are investigating a major international fraud scheme involving bribes paid to Nigerian officials by Halliburton's Kellogg, Brown and Root subsidiary (while Dick Cheney was President and CEO) and its TSKJ business partners in return for a Nigerian liquefied natural gas contract, have confirmed that Five Star Trust, an off-shore entity with a presence in the Bahamas and the Isle of Man, and which is linked to the Bush family, is the subject of a major international criminal investigation. The scandal, known as the Technip Affair in France, involves French, American, British, Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese criminal investigations, As reported by the editor after the 2004 election, Five Star Trust funds were moved illegally into the United States from Nigeria and other off-shore locations through the use of counterfeit "markers" used to secretly transfer large sums of money outside normal (and surveilled) banking networks like SWIFT. For the 2004 article on Five Star, click here. After the article appeared, there was a concerted effort by the Bush administration and its disinformation plants in the "blogosphere" to cast doubts on the authenticity of the revelations about Five Star Trust.
