September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

a company owned by Bush's former chief-of-staff for passport priveleges. When a
patriotic citizen took the truth to the CIA, the operation was halted by a rogue CIA
operation aligned with elements of the KGB. The existence of the investigation into
Riggs-Valmet was then illegally covered-up by the CIA in their report to Congress, and
the citizen’s efforts to bring this to the attention of Congress were harshly discouraged.
One might conclude – just by the protection received – that the Riggs-
Valmet/Menatep/Bank of New York money laundering operation was being treated as a
“CIA” national security operation. There is more information that suggests Riggs-
Valmet was in part, an intelligence operation.
Most importantly, in Novemebr, 1898 Alton G Keel Jr left the Whitehouse to take a
position in the international banking group of Riggs Bank and worked directly with
Valmet’s Christian Michel. Keel had worked for Admiral John Poindexter, of the
Iran/Contra scandal as Acting Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs, and later became Director of National Security Council. By 1992, he had left
Riggs and subsequently worked for Kissinger Associates and became CEO and founding
partner to Carlyle International. Keel left the operation in December 1991.
It is also disclosed that Valmet was funded by contracts from the World Bank (now
managed by Paul Wolfowitz, leading PNAC member and neo-conservative) to conduct
what might be considered economic espionage: the touring and documentation of Russian
manufacturing operations under the guise of “audits.”
“As the government prepared to sell off part of its oil industry in the controversial loans for shares
auctions of 1995, Samuelson and Michel were already getting a bird's-eye view of the choicest assets.
Via a consulting arm of Valmet, GT Valmet, they won a contract in 1995 from the World Bank to make
sure that $1.6 billion it had extended in loans was being spent properly by production units such as
Yuganskneftegaz and Purneftegaz. These units, which were visited by Valmet consultants, formed the
backbone of the soon-to-be-privatized oil companies Yukos and Sibneft.
By that time, Valmet was also acting as a consultant to Berezovsky, the Kremlin intriguer who won
close ties with the Yeltsin family. Both Khodorkovsky and Berezovsky ended up big winners in the
auctions of Yukos and Sibneft, gaining controlling stakes for just over $300 million and just over $100
million, respectively.” [Biography Of Mikhail Khodorkovsky from The Moscow Times, Catherine
Belton, The Moscow Times, May 17,2005]
With this ‘consulting’ role of the World Bank being referenced, the reader must keep in
mind that it was the British disclosure that IMF/World Bank loans were being used
illegally by the the Yeltsin family that first initiated the Bank of New York moneylaundering
scandal. Management of the IMF & World Bank are intimately involved in
spiderweb of intrigue.
There was other activity being undertaken at Valmet SA which reinforces the argument
that it was a covert operations being run by George Bush Sr. If Valmet’s involvement
with the Russians seemed to largely focus on acquiring the petrochemical resources of
the former Soviet republics, it was also involved with another group which played a
comparable strategic role in the grand strategy for the Middle East. The group would be
the PKK – the Kurdistan Worker’s Party –whose support would be critical in any
attempts to destabilize Iraq. If Iraq was to be “Balkanized,” with Kurdistan becoming an
