Reply #17: The role of Krongard & Bremer

[sattahipdeep]

When asked about the status of the investigation into
the disproportionate pre-attack stock option trades
involving United and American Airlines, Merrill Lynch,
Marsh and McLennan Insurance, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup,
Bear Stearns, and American Express, etc. -- all icons
of American capitalism -- NYSE Communications Director
Ray Pellecchia said, "We don't even confirm that there
is an ongoing investigation."

Prior to being in Iraq, Bremer was Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Marsh Crisis Consulting Company, a crisis
management firm owned by the financial services firm Marsh &
McLennan. From 1989 to 2000, he was Managing Director of
Kissinger Associates, a strategic consulting firm headed by former
Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger.

Krongard's current lofty intelligence community position,
combined with his prior leadership of a financial institution
allegedly connected to terrorist hijacker bank accounts, suspicious
UAL options contracts, and "private banking" is so controversial that
it has not as yet sparked any official investigation.

That said, the evidence is substantial enough to potentially
expose the prior-knowledge issue -- if Congress chooses to act.

And while Treasury Department official Rob Nichols agreed that
unresolved conflict of interest questions remain, the CIA Executive
Director is still currently charged with supervision of the U.S.
intelligence investigation of his former firm and its
"private banking" operations.



Since the Sept. 11 attacks, Krongard has traveled to Afghanistan, hiding
his facial features behind a beard. After the war in Iraq broke out in
March, he went to Baghdad to see firsthand how events were unfolding.
While inside a palace that belonged to the deposed Saddam Hussein,
Krongard had a snapshot taken of him sitting on a palace throne.

It’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo.....
You can't see the eyes of the demon, until him come callin'.
