Current TV, Richard Blum and Goldman Sachs
EXCERPT:
(Their investment partners included former Goldman Sachs senior director Philip Murphy, who is now the Democratic finance committee chair; Richard Blum, husband of California Senator Dianne Feinstein; Sun Microsystems cofounder Bill Joy; and Bob Pittman, former chief operating officer of AOL Time Warner.)

Phillip Murphy
EXCERPT:
Another is Phil Murphy, a Goldman Sachs executive who served as the Democratic Party’s national finance chairman, tapped to represent the United States in Berlin. The Murphy appointment so troubled German leaders that they held up agrément–the diplomatic process under which the receiving nation agrees to accept the ambassadorial designee–so that Chancellor Angela Merkel could press the case for a career diplomat or serious political figure. Merkel made her appeal at the G-8 meeting at L’Aquila, but Obama was unswayed. The Germans finally relented and grudgingly accepted the appointment.

GS Capital is Goldman Sachs
EXCERPT:
A global leader in corporate equity investing, Goldman Sachs is currently investing its GS Capital Partners VI fund, our sixth global diversified fund.

Hillary's connection to Robert Maxwell and PROMIS software
EXCERPTS:
1) Since RFE’s article about Robert Maxwell money
laundering funds out of Bulgaria with the former prime
minister Andrei Lukanov, a trial in Bulgaria had begun
for the murder of prime minister Lukanov, killed in
1996. Three Bulgarians and two Ukrainians (Alexei
Kichatov and Alexander Rusov) were the defendants
for the murder of Lukanov. The Ukrainians were
allegedly the guns hired by the Bulgarians. The court
has found them guilty. One of the witnesses in the
trial, Iliya Pavlov, a billionaire mafia oligarch and the
president of the MG Corp, (MultiGroup), was shot dead
one day after he testified at the trial. (Pavlov's wife was
a financial contributor to Hillary Clinton's election
campaign).

2) Pavlov’s wife, Toni Chergelanova, was the daughter
of Chergelanov, the chief of the Bulgarian Intelligence
Service, according to the Nova Makedonija (2Nov95),
which also points out Multigroup’s links to the KGB
and mafia, as well as expansion into Macedonia and
Serbia.

3) The Maxwell book has other themes. One is Robert
Maxwell’s global marketing of the PROMIS software
containing an Israeli-engineered backdoor with an
undetectable electronic Trojan horse. The controversial
PROMIS software was at the center of the “Inslaw
Affair”. Maxwell sold the software to many government
intelligence agencies and financial institutions allowing
the Mossad secret and untraceable access into sensitive
and very confidential files. For example, the authors
write that Mossad official Rafi Eitan used PROMIS to
uncover bank deposits made at Credit Suisse in
Switzerland by Israeli millionaires illegally while
circumventing Israeli financial controls. By threatening
their exposure, the Mossad made the millionaires an
unrefusable offer to make donations to Israel. No one
apparently refused the Mossad’s offer.

Robert Maxwell and Pension funds scandal
EXCERPT:
Maxwell
More bad news about pensions came when it was revealed that the Mirror Group Pension fund had been plundered illegally by the business "tycoon" Robert Maxwell.

Workers who saved for years have got reduced pensions as a result and several years on, none of the highly paid professionals who were supposed to be taking responsibility for the security of the pension fund has been significantly punished.

Robert Maxwell and PROMIS software
EXCERPT:
Mossad had stolen from America the most important piece of software in the US arsenal. Maxwell was given the job of marketing the stolen software, called Promis.

Mossad had reconstructed the software and inserted into it a device which enabled them to track the use any purchaser made of the it. Sitting in Israel, Mossad would know exactly what was going on inside all the intelligence services that bought it. In all, Maxwell sold it to 42 countries, including China and Soviet Bloc nations. But his greatest triumph was selling it to Los Alamos, the very heart of the US nuclear defence system.

Robert Maxwell
Robert Maxwell was a British publishing baron of the 1980s and for a short time one of the world's most prominent media moguls. Born to poor Jewish parents in the Czech Republic, Maxwell fought in the British Army in World War II and then settled in Britain, changing his name and becoming head of Permagon Publishing. In the 1970s Maxwell began building a media empire by borrowing and spending lavishly, acquiring among other properties the Daily Mirror, the book publisher MacMillan, and (in 1991) the New York Daily News. His rivalry with Australian mogul Rupert Murdoch was much publicized. In 1991, facing financial difficulties, Maxwell drowned while yachting off the Canary Islands. (The exact circumstances of his demise were unclear; a Spanish judge ruled out foul play, but did not determine how the death occurred.) After his death investigators discovered that Maxwell had propped up his empire by diverting hundreds of millions of pounds from pension funds and other sources. It was a major financial fiasco, and Maxwell's empire was dissolved and sold off in the following years.

Gideons Spies Secret History Mossad
EXCERPT:
Amazon.com Review
The Mossad was formed in 1951 to coordinate the intelligence-gathering efforts of the still-young nation of Israel. In the nearly half century since, it has become a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive track record of counterterrorist actions and assassinations. Gideon's Spies is loaded with anecdotes of their greatest exploits (and a few colossal blunders). Among the most interesting sections are the suggestions that Mossad agents killed media tycoon Robert Maxwell in 1991, that the agency's attempted recruitment of Henri Paul, the driver of Princess Diana's car that fateful night, may have caused sufficient emotional distress to be a contributing factor in the accident, and that Mossad operatives in America had tapes of the phone-sex conversations between President Bill Clinton and his lover Monica Lewinsky. There's also some extensive material on the links between the Israelis and the Vatican, including the Mossad's role in the investigation into the attempted 1981 assassination of Pope John Paul II and the agency's constant battles against the PLO. An interesting nonfiction read for fans of international spy thrillers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Tehran scientist assassinated Iran blames CIA and Mossad
NEWS: Tehran scientist assassinated; Iran blames CIA & Mossad but opposition suspects regime
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 08:34 Randy Talbot Massoud Ali Mohammadi, a professor of physics and nuclear energy at Tehran University, was killed at 7:30 a.m. by a device hidden inside a motorcycle outside his home in northern Tehran, the third Iranian nuclear scientist known to have died or disappeared since 2007, the Financial Times of London reported Tuesday.[1] -- AFP said the speaker of Iran's Majlis, Ali Larijani, said Tuesday that "We had received clear information a few days before [the assassination] that the [intelligence] service of the Zionist regime, with the cooperation of the CIA, were seeking to carry out a terrorist act in Tehran."[2] -- While the U.S. denied the charge, Israel had nothing to say, Haaretz reported Wednesday.[3] -- The Washington Post reported that Ali Mohammadi "specialized in particle and theoretical physics and had no apparent connection with nuclear physics."[4] -- "The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, which controls the country's nuclear program, said he was not affiliated with the agency," said Thomas Erdbrink and William Branigin. -- "Colleagues who worked closely with Ali-Mohammadi said he was a serious scientist who had no interest in politics. Yet both the government and the opposition claimed him as a supporter." -- But the London Independent reported with some confidence that "Dr. Mohammadi, it later emerged, lent support to the campaign of opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi in last June's presidential elections and complained publicly about the treatment of students in the protest movement. The disclosure fed speculation that his death was carried out internally as a lesson to intimidate critics of the regime."[5] -- Katherine Butler raised the possibility that its purpose was to intimidate Iranian academics, and noted that such murders have taken place before in the Islamic Republic....

Was Arthur Anderson worse than ENRON? AA advised Monsanto
EXCERPT:
At a biotech industry conference in January 1999, a representative from Arthur Anderson, LLP explained how they had helped Monsanto design their strategic plan. First, his team asked Monsanto executives what their ideal future looked like in 15 to 20 years. The executives described a world with 100% of all commercial seeds genetically modified and patented. Anderson consultants then worked backwards from that goal, and developed the strategy and tactics to achieve it. They presented Monsanto with the steps and procedures needed to obtain a place of industry dominance in a world in which natural seeds were virtually extinct.

ENRON International
EXCERPT:
India
Enron is well known for its actions in India. Around 1992 India came to the United States to find energy investors to help India with its energy shortage problems. Many countries were wary of doing business with India; Enron was not. In December 1993, Enron inked a 20-year power-purchase contract with the Maharashtra State Electricity Board. The contract allowed Enron to construct a massive 2,015 megawatt power plant. Construction would be completed in two phases and Enron would form its own power company to help manage the plant, the Dabhol Power Company. The power project was the first step in a $20 billion scheme to help rebuild and stabilize India's power grid. Enron, GE (who was selling turbines to the project),and Bechtel (who was actually constructing the plant), each put up 10 percent equity.


Jackson Stephens, Clintons, PTECH, PROMIS and much much more
EXCERPT:
Ptech, though known by FBI Bin Laden Unit Chief (later whistleblower) Robert Wright to be headed by a major Al Qaeda financier, and funded by Stephens’ former BCCI colleagues, was placed in charge of software management at every critical US Government agency- Defense, State, Justice, Energy, Transportation, the White House itself.

Ptech and a quasi government entity named MITRE, utilized PROMIS software to create the FAA’s National Airspace System, in control of operations on 911.


Arthur Andersen case overturned
EXCERPT:
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: Right. Obstruction of justice is what the government charged and ultimately convicted Arthur Andersen of doing.

GWEN IFILL: So that was a huge conviction, highly symbolic in a time when corporate scandals were all the rage and everyone was talking about them. Today, big reversal. Why?

JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: The court today rejected the government's interpretation of this witness tampering law, and said that the jury instructions in the case were just -- misstated the law and were wrong. And throughout this conviction it was nine to nothing. The decision was short. It came about very swiftly, and showed that the legal issues for these Justices were so clear that the case had to be reversed.

Now keep in mind that this was a conviction in 2002 that brought down this once-proud accounting company, one of the world's leading accounting companies, 28,000 employees on board. Now it has about 200. So the reversal of this conviction in many ways is just an astonishing end to this story.
