This chart, based on historical figures from the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office, shows the total deficit or surplus for
each fiscal year from 1990 through 2006. Keep in mind that fiscal
years begin Oct. 1, so the first year that can be counted as a
Clinton year is fiscal 1994. The appropriations bills for fiscal
years 1990 through 1993 were signed by Bill Clinton’s predecessor,
George H.W. Bush. Fiscal 2002 is the first for which President George
W. Bush signed the appropriations bills, and the first to show the
effect of his tax cuts.
As
shown in the above figures the Federal Deficit was balanced starting
around 1997 and in fact showed a surplus of over $236 billion. So
Senator, please explain to me how The United States Government showed
having a surplus of “Billions” only to have the Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld state on the 10th
of September 2001, that the United States Government cannot track
$2.3 trillion in transactions made by the Department of Defense?
Fed Economist Fired for Investigating Suspicious 9-11 Cash Transfers - Added 25 July 2013
Background: June-August 2001: Major Increase in US Currency in Circulation Indicates Foreknowledge of 9/11 Attacks
Would you be
surprised to learn that tens of billions in cold, hard cash was
shuffled around just prior to 9-11 by none other than the Fed itself?
Probably not. Here's a graph, illustrating the change in USD
currency production over a ten week period prior to 9-11 compared to
the average over the five years prior (which, by the way, includes
the Y2K money printing orgy in the year 2000 itself, which skews the
average higher)
That's right.
The average increase was $8 billion over five years, but it exploded
to $18 billion just prior to that fateful day. None other than a
Federal Reserve economist discovered this and was promptly fired for
his efforts to reveal the cause. The official story involves an
Argentine currency crisis. Clearly, this required his termination.
Ghost In The Machines - Added 23 August 2013
Background: Analysis of computer hardrives derived from remains of The World Trade Center Complex
Many are aware of the surge in put options purchased on American and United Airlines as well as several major tenants of the WTC in the days preceding 9/11, purchases the 9/11 Commission Report waves away in a footnote on pg. 499 as having no connection with the events of 9/11 because the unnamed “institutional investors” responsible had “no conceivable ties to al Qaeda”. More obscure, and nowhere mentioned in the Commission Report, are the facts of the WTC computer data recovery operation undertaken in late 2001 by Convar GmbH, a German firm. Under conditions of hermetic secrecy, Convar used its proprietary technology to salvage data from the damaged hard drives of WTC tenants, as reported in December 2001 by Reuters and CNN.
“The suspicion is that inside information about the attack was used to send financial transaction commands and authorisations in the belief that amid all the chaos the criminals would have, at the very least, a good head start,” said Convar director Peter Henschel.”
“Richard Wagner, a data retrieval expert at the company, said illegal transfers of more than $100 million might have been made immediately before and during the disaster.”
The Untied States $52.6 Billion Black Budget Exposed - Added 30 August 2013
U.S. spy agencies have built an intelligence-gathering colossus since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but remain unable to provide critical information to the president on a range of national security threats, according to the government's top secret budget.
Background: US spending on intelligence has doubled since 9/11, with the National Security Agency and the CIA taking the biggest share, according to the top secret budget leaked by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Details of the $52.6bn request for 2013 by America's 16 spy agencies were revealed by the Washington Post on Thursday.
The NSA has requested $10.45bn from Congress, while the CIA is asking for $14.7bn. The NSA has long been regarded as the most productive of the spy agencies, so the higher spending by the CIA is one of the biggest surprises in the four-volume, 1,452-page budget.

October 1996: Stratsec Acquires Security Contract for World Trade Center - Added 10 October 2013
Video: WTC Stratesec Power Down
A security company called Stratesec acquires an $8.3 million contract to help provide security at the World Trade Center. It is one of numerous contractors hired in the upgrade of security at the WTC following the 1993 bombing. Stratesec, which was formerly called Securacom, is responsible for installing the “security-description plan”—the layout of the electronic security system—at the World Trade Center. It has a “completion contract” to provide some of the center’s security “up to the day the buildings fell down,” according to Barry McDaniel, its CEO.
Involved with Airport Security - Another of Stratesec’s biggest security contracts, between 1995 and 1998, is with the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority, providing electronic security for Reagan National Airport and Dulles International Airport. Its work includes maintaining the airfield access systems, the CCTV (closed circuit television) systems, and the electronic badging systems. American Airlines Flight 77—one of the planes hijacked on 9/11—takes off from Dulles.
Directors Include Bush Family Member - Marvin P. Bush, the youngest brother of future President George W. Bush, is a director at Stratesec from 1993 to June 2000, when most of its work on these big projects is done. Wirt D. Walker III, a distant relative of George W. Bush, is chairman of the board at Stratesec from 1992, and its CEO from 1999 until January 2002. Another of Stratesec’s directors, from 1991 to 2001, is Mishal Yousef Saud Al Sabah, who is a member of the Kuwaiti royal family. Al Sabah is also chairman of an investment company called the Kuwait-American Corporation (KuwAm), which, between 1993 and 1999, holds a large, often controlling share of Stratesec. In 1996, it owns 90 percent of the company; by 1999 it owns 47 percent.
1996-1997: Ptech Begins to Get US Government Contracts - Added 15 August 2013
Ptech is a Boston computer company connected to a number of individuals suspected of ties to officially designated terrorist organizations (see 1994). These alleged ties will be of particular concern because of Ptech’s potential access to classified government secrets. Ptech specializes in what is called enterprise architecture. It is the design and layout for an organization’s computer networks. John Zachman, considered the father of enterprise architecture, later will say that Ptech could collect crucial information from the organizations and agencies with which it works. “You would know where the access points are, you’d know how to get in, you would know where the weaknesses are, you’d know how to destroy it.” Another computer expert will say, “The software they put on your system could be collecting every key stroke that you type while you are on the computer. It could be establishing a connection to the outside terrorist organization through all of your security measures.” [WBZ 4 (Boston), 12/9/2002] In late 1996, an article notes that Ptech is doing work for DARPA, a Defense Department agency responsible for developing new military technology. [Government Executive, 9/1/1996] In 1997, Ptech gains government approval to market its services to “all legislative, judicial, and executive branches of the federal government.” Beginning that year, Ptech will begin working for many government agencies, eventually including the White House, Congress, Army, Navy, Air Force, NATO, FAA, FBI, US Postal Service, Secret Service, the Naval Air Systems Command, IRS, and the nuclear-weapons program of the Department of Energy.
Project
for the New American Century
In
1997, The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a
neo-conservative think tank (1997 to 2006) that had strong ties to the
American Enterprise Institute. PNAC's web site said it was
"established in the spring of 1997" as "a non-profit,
educational organization whose goal is to promote American global
leadership."
PNAC's
policy document, "Rebuilding America's Defenses," openly
advocated for total global military domination. Many PNAC members
held highest-level positions in the George W. Bush administration.
The Project was an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (501c3).
In
2009 two of PNAC's founders, William Kristol and Robert Kagan, began
what some termed "PNAC 2.0," The Foreign Policy Initiative.
In 1997, during
the period of Carlyle's ownership, United Defense Industries, Inc.
was a leader in the design, development and production of combat
vehicles, artillery, naval guns, missile launchers and precision
munitions.
Operation Gladio "B" Is Kickstarted
In 1997, the FBI counterintelligence investigation which was tracking these targets, along with their links to U.S. officials, was known as ‘Gladio B’, and was kickstarted in 1997. It so happens that Major Douglas Dickerson” – the husband of her FBI co-worker Melek whom she accused of espionage – “specifically directed the Pentagon’s ‘Gladio’ operations in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan at this time.”
In testimony under oath, Edmonds has previously confirmed that Major Doug Dickerson worked for the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under the weapons procurement logistics division on Turkey and Central Asia, and with the Office of Special Plans (OSP) overseeing policy in Central Asia.
Operation Gladio B
Operation Gladio B was an FBI codename adopted in 1997 for relations between US intelligence, the Pentagon, and Al Qaeda. The name refers to the original Operation Gladio, in which US intelligence had relations with anti-communist groups in Europe.
According to Sibel Edmonds, Gladio B identified, among other things, meetings between US intelligence and Ayman al-Zawahiri in Azerbaijan between 1997 and 2001, with al-Zawahiri and other mujahideen being transported by NATO aircraft to Central Asia and the Balkans. These and related allegations were confirmed by Sunday Times journalists in 2008 by speaking to Pentagon and MI6 sources; however the journalists were prevented from publishing these allegations when the second half of their 4-part series was dropped
Gladio B
Sibel Edmonds a FBI whistleblower said that the Pentagon operations with Islamists were an “extension” of an original ‘Gladio’ programme uncovered in the 1970s in Italy, part of an EU-wide NATO covert operation that began as early as the 1940s. As Swiss historian Dr. Daniele Ganser records in his seminal book, NATO’s Secret Armies, an official Italian parliamentary inquiry confirmed that British MI6 and the CIA had established a network of secret “stay-behind” paramilitary armies, staffed by fascist and Nazi collaborators. The covert armies carried out terrorist attacks throughout Western Europe, officially blamed on Communists in what Italian military intelligence called the ‘strategy of tension’.
US Islamization Operations in Central Asia via Gulen started in late 1997, early 1998
The
Rise of the Vulcans
In the
summer of 1998, George
W. Bush met with Condoleezza Rice at the behest of George H.W. Bush at the Bush estate in Kennebunkport, Maine. Rice had been director
for Soviet and East European Affairs of the National Security Council
under Brent Scowcroft during George H. W. Bush's administration and
Scowcroft had been guiding her career ever since, ensuring she came
to the attention of Bush Sr. "Eventually he was quite taken with
her," Scowcroft recalled in an interview by James Mann for his
book Rise of the Vulcans (2004). According to Coit D. Blacker, Rice
and George W. Bush also "bonded at Kennebunkport" in August
1998.[1] The several days of discussions that followed resulted in
Rice agreeing to take charge of foreign policy for George W. Bush’s
upcoming presidential campaign. Later that year Paul Wolfowitz, a
former protégé of George Shultz and Dick Cheney, was taken on as
well. Wolfowitz had also served as foreign policy advisor to Bob Dole
during the 1996 U.S. presidential election. In early 1999, a team
largely drawn from the middle echelons of the first Bush
administration began to act as foreign policy advisors to George W.
Bush
The technology
revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector,
but not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our
anchor chain. Our financial systems are decades old. According to
some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We
cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because
it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible
or incompatible.
This page reflects
research and writing that Chatherine and her colleges undertook
between 1998 and 2007 to illuminate and get back over $4 trillion
(and counting as of 2009) that went missing from the US Government
between fiscal 1998 and 2002. In light of subsequent bailouts now
totaling over $12 trillion, we appreciate that getting this upset
over a mere $4 trillion seems a bit quaint. However, we would point
out that stealing the $4 trillion made it possible to arrange another
$12 trillion. After all, that is how a financial cout d'etat works.
The PNAC Projections
The Project
for the New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative think tank
formed in the spring of 1997, issues its statement of principles.
PNAC’s stated aims are:
to
“shape a new century favorable to American principles and
interests”
to
achieve “a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes
American principles abroad”
to
“increase defense spending significantly”
to
challenge “regimes hostile to US interests and values”
to
“accept America’s unique role in preserving and extending an
international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and
our principles.”
The Project
for the New American Century (PNAC), an influential neoconservative
think tank, publishes a letter to President Clinton urging war
against Iraq and the removal of Saddam Hussein because he is a
“hazard” to “a significant portion of
the world’s supply of oil.”
The
Project for a New American Century (PNAC) publishes a letter
addressed to Congressman Newt Gingrich and Senator Trent Lott. The
letter argues that the Clinton administration has capitulated to
Saddam Hussein and calls on the two legislators to lead Congress to
“establish and maintain a strong US military presence in the
region, and be prepared to use that force to protect [US] vital
interests in the Gulf—and,
if necessary, to help removed Saddam from power.”
The Project
for a New American Century publishes an open letter to President
Clinton urging him put an end to diplomatic efforts attempting to
resolve the situation in the Balkans. Instead, they argue, he should
take “decisive action” against the Serbs. The US must “distance
itself from Milosevic and actively support in every way possible his
replacement by a democratic government committed to ending ethnic
violence,” the group writes.
Andrew
Krepinevich, Executive Director of the Center for Strategic and
Budgetary Assessments, testifies before the Senate Armed Services
Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities: “There appears
to be general agreement concerning the need to transform the US
military into a significantly different kind of force from that which
emerged victorious from the Cold and Gulf Wars. Yet this verbal
support has not been translated into a defense program supporting
transformation… the ‘critical mass’ needed to effect it has not
yet been achieved. One may conclude that, in the absence of a strong
external shock to the United States—a latter-day ‘Pearl Harbor’
of sorts—surmounting the barriers to transformation will likely
prove a long, arduous process.” [US Congress, 3/5/1999] This is
very similar to what strategists at PNAC have said (see June
3, 1997).
The
neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century
writes a “blueprint” for the “creation of a ‘global Pax
Americana’” (see June 3, 1997). The document, titled Rebuilding
America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New
Century, was written for the George W. Bush team even before the 2000
presidential election. It was written for future Vice President
Cheney, future Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, future Deputy Defense
Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Florida Governor and Bush’s brother Jeb
Bush, and Cheney’s future chief of staff Lewis Libby.
Donald
Rumsfeld publishes a report as chairperson of the Rumsfeld Commission
that makes proposals for the US Space Command. Rumsfeld is in the
process of becoming defense secretary for the incoming Bush
administration. His commission’s report says with respect to
attacks in space: “The question is whether the US will be wise
enough to act responsibly and soon enough to reduce US space
vulnerabilities. Or whether, as in the past, a disabling attack
against the country and its people—a ‘Space Pearl Harbor’—will
be the only event able to galvanize the nation and cause the US
government to act.” Author Peter Dale Scott will later note the
similarity between this language and that of a Project for the New
American Century (PNAC) think tank report published several months
before, signed by Rumsfeld and others, that warned of impediments to
overhauling the US military “absent some catastrophic and
catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor” (see September 2000).
Scott will comment that such quotes indicate that the US oil industry
and military had achieved a quiet consensus by this time that
“America would need full-spectrum dominance to guarantee access to
oil and other resources in the rest of the world. This program would
require massive expenditures, perhaps as much as a trillion dollars,
and this could not be expected from Congress—except in response to
an attack as massive and frightening as Pearl Harbor.
Thomas
Donnelly, deputy executive director of the PNAC, explains to the
Washington Post that the US should embrace its role as imperialist
hegemon over the world. He says many important politicians privately
agree with him. “There’s not all that many people who will talk
about it openly,” he says. “It’s discomforting to a lot of
Americans. So they use code phrases like ‘America is the sole
superpower.’” He also says, “I think Americans have become used
to running the world and would be very reluctant to give it up, if
they realized there were a serious challenge to it.” [Washington
Post, 8/21/2001] Such statements of policy had been publicly
denounced by Bush prior to his election, and some claim that the Bush
administration only changes its mind toward a more aggressive policy
after 9/11. However, this claim is inconsistent with the roles of
senior Bush officials such as Vice President Cheney, Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld, and Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz in
formulating the preemptive doctrine in 1992 then pushing for it in
PNAC during the Clinton administration. In the summer of 2001,
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld’s office “sponsored a study of ancient
empires—Macedonia, Rome, the Mongols—to figure out how they
maintained dominance.”
