September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

The group of ex-military rogues that Voloshin worked with to orchestrate these acts of
political terrorism would be the same group of Russian expatriates that would form a
Swiss company called “Farwest.” In the French meeting at Khashoggi’s villa, this group
was represented by Anton Surikov and Alfonso Davidovich. Farwest is mainly comprised
of ex-Russian military officers closely linked to the Afghan heroin trade. The
Davidovich connection is a starting point for explaining the well reported cocaine-forweapons
trade between the Columbians and the Russian military. Farwest appears to be
a group of ex-military professonals that provides “buyers” like the Yeltsin Family with
heroin, cocaine and terrorist muscle. As one understands the service offering of a group
like Farwest, it is important to see who else their customers are. Farwest has two key
customers whose management shows up repeatedly in the plan to destroy the World
Trade Center. Those customers are Halliburton (during the Cheney era) and a pair of
companies known as Diligence and New Bridge, which share the same board members.
These may well be a few of the “important politicians” that Sibel Edmonds claims are
associated with the Central Asian drug and money laundering trade.
“Diligence LLC (http://www.diligencellc.com/index.html) was formed by past members of the CIA
and Britain's MI5 Intelligence Services. They have included experts in international law, journalism
and intelligence services from post-Cold War which enables them to vet all sorts of future investment
projects while providing security advice. They are related to New Bridge Strategies, sharing addresses
and many of the same board members. “

Here are some of the key players in Diligence/New Bridge – which shows an ongoing
business involvement of the Bush Family as well as Shiek Kamal Adham and Adnan
Khashoggi.

on March 1, 2003, a post granted to him after serving as National Campaign Manager
