THE CHANDRA LEVY/BUSH CONNECTION

The Bush Family may have more than one reason to prefer Chandra Levy silent.

According to Skolnick, while working at the press office of the Federal Bureau of Prisons she may have learned of the Bush family connection to the OKC bombing and/or their partnership with Columbian drug cartel baron Carlos Lehder.

Some background.

In the late 1970s, Jeb Bush was installed as the head of the Venezuela unit of Texas Commerce Bank, a principal owner of which was his father, George Herbert Walker Bush. The bank unit reportedly became part of the money laundering of proceeds from the Colombia Medellin Drug Cartel co-founded by Carlos Lehder as a Bush Family business partner. The Drug Cartel was moreso headquartered in the U.S. than in Colombia. It was part of the whole CIA operation to the southern states of the United States, headquartered, in part, through an airport in western Arkansas, at Mena. The Elder Bush, his sons Jeb and George W., and Ollie North, and Bill Clinton, were all part of the operation. Guns were smuggled by CIA airflights to Central America with side-trips to Colombia to pick up huge shipments of cocaine which supported the Colombia economy moreso than coffee.

The tiny First National Bank of Mena, Arkansas, was purchased by the Riady family, ethnic Chinese tied to Bill Clinton and the Bush Family. The bank reportedly was a transmission point for the huge dope cash flow which went up to Garfield Ridge Trust & Savings Bank, Chicago. The Chicago bank for many years had as a principal stockholder Cong. Dan Rostenkowski. For years a Chairman of the Board of the Chicago bank was a reputed former U.S. Secret Service official, Dan Shannon. Rostenkowski, called Rosty for short, was closely aligned with the Chicago markets, the next transmission point of the dope loot from Rosty's bank. That is, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, and a sort of basement, step-sister operation called Chicago Board Options Exchange.

In 1987, Lehder was extradited to the U.S. where he was convicted of federal criminal charges and originally sentenced to more than a life term. This was reduced through a deal he made with then Vice President Bush’s staff in exchange for making Noriega the fall guy.

Hey, somebody had to do it.

This allowed the “Iran-Contra” discovery process to go only so far.

In the introduction of Al Martin’s book,
The Conspirators, Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider: it is stated,

“Iran Contra is a euphemism for the outrageous fraud perpetrated by government criminals for profit and control. Offhandedly, this inaccurate term entered history as shorthand for the public scandals of illicit arms sales to Iran coupled with illicit weapons deals for Nicaragua. The real story however is more complex.

When George Bush, Bill Casey and Oliver North initiated their plan of government-sanctioned fraud and drug smuggling, they envisioned using 500 men to raise $35 billion.
When Iran Contra fell apart, they ended up using about 5,000 operatives and making over $350 billion in covert revenues.”
On page 15:

“(Operation) Sledgehammer was essentially a contingency operation to institute a putsch against the United States Government (with the tacit support of said government) should knowledge of Iran-Contra become publicly disseminated.

The feeling was that if people were to know the quantities of narcotics and weapons being dealt and the enormity of State-sanctioned fraud against U.S. banks (and other financial institutions which taxpayers ultimately guarantee), there would be such a reaction among the people that in order to divert public attention, it might be necessary to institute a putsch having the tacit agreement of the Reagan Administration.

I know that sounds draconian, but that was the level of concern in those years.

These NPO (National Programs Office) facilities were used as storage sites for advanced communications (and arms), for instance, that would be necessary for the control of cities by U.S. armed forces.

There were some speculative media pieces done on Operation Sledgehammer in the late ‘80s and the early ‘90s, but it was nothing substantial. The few documents regarding Sledgehammer that had leaked out in late 1986 and early 1987 wound up in the hands of the attorney Paul Wilcher, for example.

And we all know what happened to Wilcher…

As a matter of fact, Danny Casolaro actually wound up with some of them, but unfortunately he was liquidated before he could do anything with them.
….Regarding Operation Sledgehammer-all those who ever attempted to publicly disseminate any genuine documents or information have now been liquidated, some 36 people in all.”

One wonders what Chandra Levy found out.

Al Martin has apparently been able to strategically use his information to stay alive.

It perhaps didn’t work for long for Gene “Chip” Tatum, a pilot who claims to have flown many loads of cocaine up from Central America for his handler Oliver North under orders from George Bush. He reportedly recently showed up “deaded” on a beach in Central America.

However, he did get out some documents that seem to give much detail on the Family business.

By the way, the Family does have many loyal partners who serve in the various Family businesses.

Their newest business office is located at quite an exclusive address.

By the way, speaking of business partners, this guy Carlos Lehder sounds like a real nice guy.
His former lawyer said, “A founding member of the infamous Medellin Cartel, Lehder knew America could not resist the exciting drug if it were affordable and readily available. Much as Henry Ford transformed the automobile industry through mass production, Lehder and his colleagues created a river of cocaine where only a trickle had gone before.

Lehder, who idolized Adolf Hitler, labeled his packaged kilos with swastikas and murdered anyone who got in his way. He commanded an armed garrison on a Bahamian island replete with hangars and a jet-capable runway. Twenty-four hours a day, his pilots injected cocaine by the ton into the United States. The cartel invested its immense profits in American goods and services or shipped them by Learjet to safe banking havens throughout Latin America and Europe.”

Nazi partners are also a Bush Family Tradition.

In 1942, under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the government took over the Union Banking Corporation, in which Prescott Bush was a director. The U.S. Alien Property Custodian seized Union Banking Corp.’s stock shares, all of which were owned by Prescott Bush, E. Roland “Bunny” Harriman, three Nazi executives, and two other associates of Bush.

It is interesting that Prescott Bush was then also managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman that became Brown & Root and is now a Halliburton Corporation. This was the company that was featured in the article, The Bush-Cheney Empire.

Family Partner Cheney was CEO of Halliburton before he had to resign to move to his new office at the exclusive address.

Other books that detail this fascinating Family business are:

Defrauding America by Rodney Stich

And Dark Alliance by Gary Webb

It is also interesting that in that exclusive office VICE President Cheney provided Gary Condit with an alibi in the Chandra Levy case.

Anyway, back to another Family Partner, Carlos Lehder. He wasn’t happy with his deal.

He contended he was the victim of a double cross, so in the fall of 1995 he wrote a letter to U.S. District Judge William Hoeveler of Miami, the man who presided over the Noriega case. Lehder asked to recant his testimony because he said the government reneged on a deal that would have cut his sentence to 30 years. That sentence reduction would have made him eligible for extradition to Germany or Colombia.

Within weeks of sending that letter, Lehder was whisked away into the night, several protected witnesses at the Mesa Unit in Arizona say. No one has heard from him since.

Well, not exactly.

Meanwhile, shocking new evidence -- including a taperecording of a conversation including his reported wife -- and what may be official U.S. government documents, indicate that Carlos Lehder, co-founder of the Medellin Cartel -- who is supposed to be serving 55 non-paroleable years in prison - is a free man. What's more, documents that the U.S. government has apparent trouble refuting, show that Lehder is an employee of the U.S. Treasury while his wife has told a veteran DEA Agent that Lehder has been selling drugs to Russia for the CIA.

Ask yourself why a man who was reported to be worth $3 billion in 1987 was allowed to keep his assets after secret discussions with then Vice President George Bush.

Why indeed.

I noticed on the cover of the Wall Street Journal today that Columbia’s high court voted to extradite Fabio Ochoa of the Medellin cocaine cartel for trial in the U.S.

So, will he be the next fall guy?
As in fall in and out of jail?

Here’s some photos and information on the Columbian Cocaine Cartels. It’s a nice Family portrait, but it seems some of The Family are missing.

It’s been interesting observing how Family Partners in the Family Business operate.

I’d love to see their Procedures Manual.

Back to the Chandra Levy/Bush Connection. Skolnick gets the last word. This is from his report.

As of now, there seem to be two possibilities. Either Ms Levy has been snuffed out to protect members of the Bush Family and their partnership with drug cartel baron Carlos Lehder and his disappearance from the Federal Prison System. With the Bush Family members if this opened up widely publicly, being subject to federal criminal prosecution for dope money laundering and treason.

OR, Ms Levy is parked somewhere overseas, Paris or Tel Aviv, where her details would suddenly surface starting in some major foreign press outlet. In Europe, top officials mumble that George W. is incompetent on financial matters and foreign affairs. Overseas there has started an attack on the so-called U.S. Dollar. Are the profound secrets of McVeigh and Carlos Lehder in some small part, involved in the attack on the U.S. Dollar which some say started with the French Rothschilds?
