Does the Spy have Halliburton connections?

[ck4829]

According to the recent stories, the Spy is an Aide to Douglas J. Feith.

Well, look at this.

"The contract to fix Iraq's oil industry was granted to KBR by a secret Bush administration task force formed in September 2002 to plan for Iraq's oil industry in the event of war. The task force, led by an aide to Douglas J. Feith, the under secretary of defense for policy, quickly concluded that the government alone could not meet the oil needs, members of the group said. "There were only a handful of companies, and KBR was always one of those mentioned," said one Pentagon official."

KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root), according to the article is a subsidiary of Halliburton.

1. Look for AEI connections ....

5. Check this out = result of an old article appearing first in google when

I entered AEI and AIPAC - snips from a 1998 conference of righties:

RETHINKING THE MIDDLE EAST (10/14/98) by Jon Basil Utley

1 snip: "Former UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick warned in an early session that , for the first time, American cities were vulnerable to (terrorist) weapons of mass destruction, that only in the Middle East do "people define themselves as enemies of the United States."

2 snip: "Douglas Feith, formerly an Assistant Secretary of Defense, criticized US policies overseas as always pushing democracy simply as being majority rule rather than concentrating on its features of limited government and personal freedoms."

3 snip: "Frank Gaffney, columnist and another of the panelists, said that the problems in the Middle East were the fault of only one side not living up to its Oslo commitments, he said that it wasn’t necessary to identify which party it was, that everybody knew, and then explained that he meant the Palestinians. He then warned that any Palestinian state would become a formula for war and declared opposition to any American economic aid for it."

4 snip: "Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthamer worried that, like it or not, a land for peace agreement was coming. He worried also that the largest water aquifers would be under Palestinian soil. He said the Palestinian state would remain without certain sovereign rights and might become a model for Kosovo and a way for resolving other future conflicts in the world. He argued that any Palestinian state would give up a lot in return for U.S. diplomatic recognition and said that "any new Palestinian Israeli war would be a disaster."

5 snip : "Pre-emptive U.S. bombing and active use of military forces overseas was then proposed in the next panel by Weekly Standard editor William Krystol. For Serbia he urged the "taking out" of Miloslavich. He argued for Washington to accept its duties to become the "world policeman," and to effectively exercise U.S. power abroad. His arguments favoring active use of the U.S. military abroad were seconded by John Bolton, Senior Vice President of AEI and a former Bush Administration State Department Assistant Secretary."

5 snip: "Former CIA director James Woolsey discussed several Moslem nations. He said that the oil exporters were "ruled by pathological predators or vulnerable autocrats," mainly dependent upon the U.S. and that they "were crisis prone and terrorist spawning."

1998 - All the same players - how can anyone read this and deny the agenda - lihop ammunition. Take a look at #4 - water.

Yes, AIE and AIPAC are connected at the chest.

So how can someone affiliated with AIPAC be a spy - they are with us, that is, they are with our demonic leaders.

I say do not trust the spy story until we know more. This may be nothing but a public relation ruse to save Cheney and Bush.

13. That is an amazing find ....

I have not seen it before: and LOOK at what it contains: essentially the blueprint for what HAS transpired .....

2. Would't that be interesting ???

Follow the money all the way to evil dick !!!!

4. Oog--there's the nexus connecting this story with

the Plame story.

Valreie was getting too close to outing the Israeli spy (WMD connection), so her op gets shut down & Wilson gets punished--2 birds.

When first we practise to deceive!

3. If they have connections to Halliburton

Then I will believe that this will be a very bad thing indeed for the bush reich! (otherwise I think it's a scam to get the blame OFF of bush)

[Eloriel]

6. Doesn't everyone worth knowing have connections to Halliburton?

Great find.

7. Here's another ARI-AIPAC close connection...along with JINSA

Unfortunately, there is also a quote from an Al Gore speech to JINSA.

Date

Quote for article:

"The key players in the "rise" of Chalabi were the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA)--a quasi-subversive organization developed to propagandize ranking U.S. military officers and officials into supporting the Israeli state--and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) did play a role, but it was a relative latecomer.

"We can't dream of military coups, what we can dream of is the INC," JINSA Executive Director Tom Newmann was quoted as telling American Jews in the July 31st, 1998 "Forward". In that same article, AEI Research Fellow David Wurmser is portrayed as meeting with a Chalabi adviser, Francis Brook, and Israel's UN representative Dore Gold to get Israel on board for a future war push and Chalabi government in Iraq. Wurmser, after a meeting with a representative of Israeli PM "Bibi" Netanyahu, was quoted as stating:

"...an INC-controlled region in the north of Iraq is the missing piece needed to complete the anti-Syria, anti-Iran block."
unquote

Gore quote:
"With JINSA and AEI promoting him, Chalabi's ideas began to gain credence--at least among politicians. Just how far Chalabi's ideas--more likely those of JINSA and the AEI--were promoted can be seen in the Al Gore address to AIPAC on May 23rd, 2000:
"You know as well as I do that as long as Saddam Hussein stays in power there can be no comprehensive peace for the people of Israel...we have made it clear that it is our policy to see Saddam Hussein gone."

8. of course theris is a connection

Feith gave all the contracts to Haliburton on Cheney's say so. Feight is a law buddy with Zell and Sell is in Bed With Chalabi.

My guess is that raid on Chalabi's place in Bagdad was to get information back that he was trying to get to IRAN about this whole fiasco.

11. Yikes...

I was just thinking the same thing!

[peacetalksforall]

10. Another link between AIPAC and our new-cons -

the point of posting is that how can you have a spy for Israel when they are all one and the same?

quote
....
"Along with Feith, all of the political appointees have in common a close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in Israel.

Feith, whose law partner is a spokesman for the settlement movement in Israel, has long been a fierce opponent of the Oslo peace process, while WINEP has acted as the think tank for the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which generally follows a Likud line.

Also like Feith, several of the appointees were protégés of Richard Perle, an AEI fellow who doubles as chairman until last April of Rumsfeld's unpaid Defense Policy Board (DPB), whose members were appointed by Feith, also had an office in the Pentagon one floor below the NESA offices.

Similarly, Luti, a retired naval officer, was a protégé of another DPB board member also based at AEI, former Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich. Luti in turn hired Ret. Col. William Bruner, a former Gingrich staffer, and Chris Straub, a retired lieutenant colonel, anti-abortion activist, and former staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Also working for Luti was another naval officer, Yousef Aboul-Enein, whose main job was to pore over Arabic-language newspapers and CIA transcripts of radio broadcasts to find evidence of ties between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein that may have been overlooked by the intelligence agencies, and a DIA officer named John Trigilio."

The above is from a year old article on antiwar by Jim Lobe.

12. I think it may have all started unraveling when Jack Shaw

was denied entry into Iraq by U.S. military officers (yes, a top level official of the Defense Department was denied access to Iraq by U.S. military personnel!), he decided to sneak into the country disguised as a Halliburton contractor.


Winds of Change:Troubled Waters Ahead For the Neo Cons
by
Wayne Madsen

The neo-con attack on Shaw was predictable considering their previous attacks on Ambassador Joe Wilson, his wife Valerie Plame, former U.S. Central Command chief General Anthony Zinni, former counter-terrorism coordinator Richard Clarke, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, CIA counter-terrorism agent Michael Scheuer (the "anonymous" author of Imperial Hubris who has recently been gagged by the Bush administration), fired FBI translator Sibel Edmonds (who likely discovered a penetration by Israeli and other intelligence assets using the false flag of the Turkish American Council and who also has been gagged by the Bush administration), and all those who took on the global domination cabal. But Shaw showed incredible moxie. When he decided to investigate Pentagon Inspector General Reports that firms tied to Perle and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz were benefiting from windfall profit contracts in Iraq, Shaw decided to go to Iraq himself to find out what was going on. When Shaw was denied entry into Iraq by U.S. military officers (yes, a top level official of the Defense Department was denied access to Iraq by U.S. military personnel!), he decided to sneak into the country disguised as a Halliburton contractor. Using the cover of Cheney's old company to get the goods on Cheney's friends' illegal activities was yet another masterful stroke of genius by Shaw. But it also earned him the wrath of the neo-cons. They soon leaked a story to the Los Angeles Times claiming that Shaw actually snuck into Iraq to ensure that Qualcomm (on whose board sat a friend of Shaw's) was awarded a lucrative cell network contract.

But nothing could be further from the truth. Shaw, who worked for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, represented the Old Guard Republican entity that in August 2003 set up shop in the Pentagon right under the noses of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Feith to investigate the neo-con cabal and their illegal contract deals. The entity, known as the International Armament and Technology Trade Directorate, was soon shut down as a result of neo-con pressure. Not to be deterred, Shaw continued his investigation of the neo-cons. Although the neo-cons told the Los Angeles Times that the FBI was investigating Shaw, the reverse was the case: the FBI was investigating the neo-cons, particularly Perle and Wolfowitz, for fraudulent activities involving Iraqi contracts. And in worse news for the neo-cons: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was giving the Inspector General's and Shaw's investigations a "wink and a nod" of approval.

The financial stakes for the Pentagon are high - the Iraqi CPA's Inspector General recently revealed that over $1 billion of Iraqi money was missing from the audit books on Iraqi contracts. For Shaw and the FBI, it was a matter of what they suspected for many years - that Perle, Wolfowitz, and their comrades were running entities that ensured favorable treatment for Israeli activities - whether they were business opportunities in a U.S.-occupied Arab country or protecting Israeli spies operating within the U.S. defense and intelligence establishments.

Shaw certainly must have recalled how, during the Reagan administration, an Israeli spy named Jonathan Pollard was able to steal massive amounts of sensitive U.S. intelligence over a long period of time and hand it over to his Israeli control officer, a dangerous and deadly agent provocateur named Rafael "Rafi" Eitan. That had disastrous effects on U.S. intelligence operations throughout the world because some of the documents were handed by the Israelis to the Soviets in return for letting more Soviet Jews emigrate to Israel.

The neo-cons leaked crap about Shaw so the DOD had to post this statement.


DoD Statement on Jack Shaw and the Iraq Telecommunications Contract


For several months there have been allegations in the press that activities of John A. Shaw, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for International Technology Security, were under investigation by the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD IG). The allegations were examined by DoD IG criminal investigators in Baghdad and a criminal investigation was never opened.



Furthermore, attempts to discredit Shaw and his report on Iraqi telecommunications contracting matters were brought to the attention of the DoD IG and were accordingly referred to the FBI.



Shaw carried out his duties in the investigation of Iraqi telecommunications matters pursuant to the authorities spelled out in the Memorandum of Understanding between the DoD IG and the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. Shaw provided a copy of his report to the DOD IG and, at the request of the Coalition Provisional Authority, to the Iraqi National Communications and Media Commission.

Shaw is not now, nor has he ever been, under investigation by the DoD IG. Any questions concerning FBI activities should be addressed to the FBI.
