Turner indicated that in one case where the SEC was able to intercede on his watch, a bank had people
sign privacy agreements as not to divulge details of the scheme proposed to regulators and others.”
[The Real Deal About Enron (Part 1), Catherine Austin Fitts, Sanders Research Associates 4/3/2003]
Fitts’ questions are pertinent in that besides the obvious energy scams (such as that which
created a financial crisis for the State of California) Enron also created Enron Online, the
world’s largest on-line trading site. This site traded oil, gas, electricity as energy
commodities, but included (surprisingly) gold, gold derivatives and even bundled
mortgage derivatives from HUD. During the Enron bankruptcy proceedings, Enron On-
Line was reportedly “given” to UBS at no cost, and any potential audit trail fell under the
control of a protected Swiss bank. Enron On-line would have been a critical component
of a laundry scheme to convert large blocks of stolen wealth into other forms of assets. If
Enron On-line didn’t exist, major money launderers would have had to create it to
manage the thousands of daily transactions required for major money laundering activity.
While Enron On-line allowed computers to create volumes of small trades to avoid
regulatory control, the collapse of Enron and it’s bankruptcy assignment to UBS shielded
the audit trail from exposure. The rest of the evidence was destroyed with the WTC.
The money of the various oil operations involved in Central Asia (including Halliburton
and Enron, both key players in Afghanistan,) starts to cross paths at the Deutsche Bank
and UBS. Here is where one finds the ‘old men of Europe’ – secretive names that rarely
show up in the press, and old family names changed to hide the lineage. Here is where
the money stops. When all the investigations spawned by the money-laundering of the
late 1990s began to narrow the search to these banks, it was these old men and families of
Europe who had to be protected. These are the families that “own” the banks through
holding companies based in offshore countries, where the laws are controlled so that the
owners’ names do not need to be divulged. The physical assets however, are in Swiss
vaults, as the offshore banks can never offer the types of security guarantees offered by a
Swiss bank. Here, they can be ‘frozen’ under a new set of anti-money laundering laws
that went into effect in 1998, thus magnifying the risk the U.S. investigations posed.
Clues that Point to Money-Laundering
To fully understand the Afghani events, which many 9/11 writers focus on, one must
understand a coordinated set of covert activities being undertaken in Central Asia at that
time. Prior to the attack on the World Trade Center, there were a number of seemingly
independent, US covert operations occurring in many Central Asian countries, but
primarily: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. This report suggests
the Kazakhstan operation is also linked to covert activities in Angola. The central figures
in these ‘theatres of operations’ are Richard Cheney, Richard Secord, Richard Armitage
and George Bush Sr. Research demonstrates that covert activities in these regions were
supported by additional participants from the Iran-Contra and October Surprise Scandals
of the 1980s. These participants include David Kimche (Mossad), Adnan Khashoggi
(Saudi), and Farhad Azima (arms merchant and airline owner). The central institutions
in these operations are Halliburton, Unocal, Delta Oil, Enron, Union Bank of Switzerland
(UBS), Credit Suisse, the Bank of New York, and the Deutschebank. In the background
of these operations one finds the Russian/Israeli Mafiya and arms merchants. Their base
