September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

Dick Cheney’s “intelligence block.” As early as 1996, the Department of State had
been blocking his investigations in the Middle East - Yemen and Saudi Arabia
specifically.
“Jean-Charles Brisard, who wrote a report on bin Laden's finances for the French intelligence
agency DST and is co-author of Hidden Truth, met O'Neill several times last summer. He
complained bitterly that the US State Department - and behind it the oil lobby who make up
President Bush's entourage - blocked attempts to prove bin Laden's guilt.
The US ambassador to Yemen, Ms Barbara Bodine, forbade O'Neill and his team … from entering
Yemen. In August 2001, O'Neill resigned in frustration and took up a new job as head of security
at the World Trade Centre. He died in the September 11th attack.
Brisard and his co-author Guillaume Dasquié, the editor of Intelligence Online, say their book is a
tribute to O'Neill. The FBI agent had told Brisard: "All the answers, everything needed to
dismantle Osama bin Laden's organisation, can be found in Saudi Arabia."
But US diplomats shrank from offending the Saudi royal family. O'Neill went to Saudi Arabia
after 19 US servicemen died in the bombing of a military installation in Dhahran in June 1996.
Saudi officials interrogated the suspects, declared them guilty and executed them - without letting
the FBI talk to them. "They were reduced to the role of forensic scientists, collecting material
evidence on the bomb site," Brisard says.
O'Neill said there was clear evidence in Yemen of bin Laden's guilt in the bombing of the USS
Cole in which 17 US servicemen died, but that the State Department prevented him from getting
it." [Oil Interests: Bush Obstructed FBI Investigation, By V.K.Shashikumar, New Delhi,

These clues (1. the accusations of Sibel Edmonds, 2. the FBI investigations into
Kazakhstan, and 3. the accusations of John O’Neill) point to five distinctly separate, but
inherently related sets of events, occurring in the same time period – starting in the early
1990s through 2001. Together, these seemingly unrelated events demonstrate a larger
pattern of investigation into the German banking cartel by US investigators.
• the James Giffen (aka Geffen)/Bryon and the Credit Suisse scandal involving Mobil
Oil, Phillips Oil, Chevron and Halliburton in Kazakhstan, which while reported as
isolated to the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), seems to avoid reporting
involvement of Marc Rich (Russian Mafiya/Israeli) and his use of the Bank of New
York/Cayman Islands/Deutsche Bank chain for his money laundering and oil swap
operations ;
• the Mega Oil operations in Azerbaijan, involving the former Iran-Contra guns for
drugs operatives and their UBS accounts;
• Enron and Unocal operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, using Deutsche Bank
channels to funnel money through the Pakistanis to the Afghanis;
• the Kevin Ingram scandal in which this Deutsche Bank executive was convicted of
laundering money for weapons purchases for Muslim terrorists through Pakistani
agents; and
• The Bank of New York Russian money laundering scandal, in which Russian funds
were being sent back to Russia via the Cayman Islands, where they were being picked
up by the Deutsche Bank and Banker’s Trust.
