Bank Cartel or Oil Syndicate – A Question of Greater Motive
Merriam Webster defines cartel as “a combination of independent commercial or
industrial enterprises designed to limit competition or fix prices.” A syndicate is defined
as “a loose association of racketeers in control of organized crime.” A syndicate can also
be called a ‘cartel.’ In this investigation, there is bank cartel allegedly attempting to
control gold prices, and an oil syndicate allegedly attempting to limit competition in the
Central Asian region. Both of these cartels seem to have “motive” for disrupting the
money laundering investigations initiated in the late 1990s, and continuing into the
present. Both of these cartels had extensive contacts in the murky underworld of the
Russian/Israeli Mafiya and U.S. Intelligence. They work together, and use each other’s
services. The over-riding question appears to be: which cartel bears responsibility for the
attack on the WTC?
When the details of Central Asian covert oil operations are explored one finds the same
criminals involved as in the Harken Energy, Iran Contra and BCCI scandals, the Barrick
operation and the rape of the Soviet and Philippine treasuries. The Oil Cartel money
laundering paths clumsily and inadvertently intersect at several places: the Deutsch Bank
and the Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), the Bank of New York and an interesting
parallel involvement by Barrick. These banks continuously “appear” and have an active
role in billion dollar deals which over time are shown to involve fraud, theft,
expropriations, illegal drugs and weapons or some other illegal activity that leaves some
national treasury poorer for their involvement and hundreds of millions of dollars
unaccounted for. By facilitating and negotiating these deals, these bankers are coconspirators.
(The person who drives the get-away car is just as guilty of the crime, even
if that person contends he or she had no knowledge of a crime being committed, and the
role of a banker’s due diligence requirements generally suggests they fully understand the
crimes they are supporting.) These companies have facilitated the theft of treasuries from
the Soviet Union, France, Czechoslovakia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Angola, and
possibly the U.S. These banking organizations - joined with Enron On-line - have the
infrastructure for both rapid global distribution and high volume capacity required to
mask the flow of illegal funds, and convert them into physical assets (bearer bonds,
commodity futures and gold certificates) which cannot be traced. Time and again, these
same financial institutions are identified as conduits for illegal activity and actively
engaging known criminals as business partners, and hence become criminals themselves.
Because of their widespread criminal activity, they have been the object of numerous
investigations by agencies across the world. In most of these cases, the witnesses recant,
die inexplicably or are ‘suicided.’ Massive heart attacks also seem to afflict these people
more frequently than the normal citizenry. However, the trail left by the flow of money
cannot be erased. (Although the destruction of the WTC, the BCCI records in London
warehouses, the allowed shredding of Enron records suggests that these trails can be
erased with proper financing.) Additionally, the citizens of the US, France, Germany and
Switzerland are comparably socially minded, and have recently passed laws to allow
