September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

e involved in these probable illegal gold movements are linked to a single gold
company: Barrick. These names are not linked as a group to any other gold company.
These individuals, along with Shiek Kamal Adham, (the former head of the Saudi
intelligence agency and a regular business partner of Khashoggi) have been widely
reported as involved (but not convicted) in money laundering schemes and illegal gold
movements:
• George HW Bush: the Iran-Contra scandal, the Marcos gold;
• Adnan Khashoggi: the BCCI-Vatican Bank money laundering scandal, Iran-Contra,
MJK securities fraud, and the US savings and loans bankruptcies, the Sand casino
bankruptcy, and the Marcos gold;
• Shiek Kamal Adham: the BCCI-Vatican Bank scandal, Iran-Contra; and
• Edgar Bronfman: Harris Bank and Household Bank money laundering, the Nazi gold
hoards, as well as the family history in Canada of bootleg alcohol smuggling.
If four suspected money-launderers, at least two of which are involved in prior
movements of this gold, are all financially involved in a company responsible for the
generation of billions of dollars of paper gold, and producing bullion from mining
deposits with a history of dubious value, then should not those facts warrant suspicion of
that company’s intent?
In fact, the Barrick gold operation is a phenomenon that could not have occurred without
the assistance of President George Bush Sr. In his last days as President, Bush pardoned
his former political colleagues convicted in the Iran-Contra Scandal, including Adnan
Khashoggi. The Iran-Contra conspirators executed their crime with the heavy
involvement of three individuals who continue to appear throughout this report:
• Adnan Khashoggi;
• Khalid bin Mahfouz, owner of 20% of BCCI; and
• Shiek Kamal Adham, who belonged to a group that owned approximately 55% of
BCCI, and was on the board of directors with Mahfouz.
At the same time that Bush pardoned the convicted Iran-Contra conspirators, he
authorized a procedural change which allowed Barrick (a company started with funding
from Khashoggi and Shiek Kamal Adham as an original investors) to claim $10 billion in
unmined reserves in Nevada, for the meager cost of $10,000. It is speculated this process
needed to be expedited because it was anticipated the Clinton administration would not
approve transaction without sizeable royalty requirements. This report speculates that
Bush expedited the approval so that laundering of gold could happen much sooner – that
having the reserves on the books was a necessary step to begin laundering the stolen
treasuries. Not often reported, Barrick claims it paid $63 million for the company that
owned those rights, although the details of that investment are not known. Even at that
rate, $63 million for $10 billion in assets seems like a suspicious arrangement.
