It was the last year that you could get into Chartered (Public in the US) Accountancy in Canada without a degree, when I graduated from grade thirteen. I learned a lot about corporate fraud and the nature of accounting firms when I presented proof of inventory fraud ripping-off Ford Motor Company by a dealership where I was a young auditor. It is a lot like Arthur Anderson in the Enron scandal and all the other financial ways that managers and small cadres of elite stock swindlers including rumor-mill operators like Old Joe Kennedy who became SEC chairman after the Crash he lost not one penny in, I think. Wall Street at the time of President Johnsons impeachment hearings was run by Rothschild interests and agents like J. P. Morgan and Salmon Chase (who they named Chase Manhattan after). Crdit Mobilier and its railroad construction was the main scandal along with the confusion of Reconstruction in Johnsons era. The partners had my report deleted from the audit file.

History repeats itself but the media that are owned by the people who play these games do not let authors like me get a fair hearing. Even Marshall McLuhan could not say he knew the secret societies run these things according to his recent biography. I have gone a lot further into the Global Village and history than Marshall McLuhan did but his intellectual progeny try to tell us some truth as you will see shortly from a professor at the University of Ottawa where one of my nieces just graduated in 2006..

You must ask yourself how it is that Joseph Kennedy got to Chair the SEC after his rumor-mill frauds and games. You should know about his relationship with the oil magnate and drug-runner Aristotle Onassis. You should see the way the BCCI or S & L crisis benefit the same people who sit on the board of armaments manufacturing holding companies like Carlyle Corporation. You should wonder why the Bin-Ladens were whisked out of the country on the same day the World Trade Center was destroyed. You should see the connections to the Reichstag Fire. The Bush Dynasty is a mere front as is Osama Bin Laden. It is all about the Hegelian Dialectic that sees both sides played against the middle.

In the wake of the Cold War, the Central Asian region is not only strategic for its extensive oil reserves, it also produces three quarters of the World's opium representing multibillion dollar revenues to business syndicates, financial institutions, intelligence agencies and organized crime. The annual proceeds of the Golden Crescent drug trade (between 100 and 200 billion dollars) represents approximately one third of the Worldwide annual turnover of narcotics, estimated by the United Nations to be of the order of $500 billion.14

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a new surge in opium production has unfolded. (According to UN estimates, the production of opium in Afghanistan in 1998-99 -- coinciding with the build up of armed insurgencies in the former Soviet republics-- reached a record high of 4600 metric tons.15 Powerful business syndicates in the former Soviet Union allied with organized crime are competing for the strategic control over the heroin routes.

The ISI's extensive intelligence military-network was not dismantled in the wake of the Cold War. The CIA continued to support the Islamic "jihad" out of Pakistan. New undercover initiatives were set in motion in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans. Pakistan's military and intelligence apparatus essentially "served as a catalyst for the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of six new Muslim republics in Central Asia." 16.

Meanwhile, Islamic missionaries of the Wahhabi sect from Saudi Arabia had established themselves in the Muslim republics as well as within the Russian federation encroaching upon the institutions of the secular State. Despite its anti-American ideology, Islamic fundamentalism was largely serving Washington's strategic interests in the former Soviet Union.

Following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, the civil war in Afghanistan continued unabated. The Taliban were being supported by the Pakistani Deobandis and their political party the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Islam (JUI). In 1993, JUI entered the government coalition of Prime Minister Benazzir Bhutto. Ties between JUI, the Army and ISI were established. In 1995, with the downfall of the Hezb-I-Islami Hektmatyar government in Kabul, the Taliban not only instated a hardline Islamic government, they also "handed control of training camps in Afghanistan over to JUI factions..." 17

And the JUI with the support of the Saudi Wahhabi movements played a key role in recruiting volunteers to fight in the Balkans and the former Soviet Union. Jane Defense Weekly confirms in this regard that "half of Taliban manpower and equipment originate[d] in Pakistan under the ISI" 18

In fact, it would appear that following the Soviet withdrawal both sides in the Afghan civil war continued to receive covert support through Pakistan's ISI. 19 In other words, backed by Pakistan's military intelligence (ISI) which in turn was controlled by the CIA, the Taliban Islamic State was largely serving American geopolitical interests. The Golden Crescent drug trade was also being used to finance and equip the Bosnian Muslim Army (starting in the early 1990s) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). In last few months there is evidence that Mujahideen mercenaries are fighting in the ranks of KLA-NLA terrorists in their assaults into Macedonia.

No doubt, this explains why Washington has closed its eyes on the reign of terror imposed by the Taliban including the blatant derogation of women's rights, the closing down of schools for girls, the dismissal of women employees from government offices and the enforcement of "the Sharia laws of punishment".20 (8)
