Jack Abramoff: 'The whole system' is
corrupt
Congressman Tom DeLay, former Majority Leader of the House
of Representatives, said during a New Year's trip to the Northern Mariana
Islands of Saipan in 1997, "... one of my closest and dearest friends, v
...". After the trip, Jack Abramoff helped Tom DeLay craft policy that
extended exemptions from federal immigration and labor laws to Saipan
industries, even though the products were allowed to be labelled 'Made in the
USA' as part of the US Commonwealth.
Brian Ross
at ABC News for 20/20 on March
13, 1998 pointed out that factories in Saipan
have forced their workers
to have abortions in order to keep their jobs.
Jack Abramoff later worked for
Tyco and was listed as lobbying
the White House. Tyco claimed in August
2005 that Jack Abramoff had been paid $1.7 million for an 'astroturf campaign'
to create a 'grass roots campaign' to oppose proposals to penalize American
corporations registered abroad for tax reasons. Timothy Flanigan,
Tyco general council, stated
to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Jack Abramoff bragged that he could help
Tyco avoid tax liability aimed at off-shore
companies because he "had good relationships with members of Congress."
January 3, 2006 Jack Abramoff pled
guilty to fraud,
tax evasion and
conspiracy to
bribe public officials in a deal
that requires him to provide evidence about members of
Congress.
Randall Harold Cunningham aka Randy or 'Duke' Cunningham
was an F-4 Phantom Pilot, Navy Ace in
Vietnam. As a California
represenative in the House he voted in 2003 for the "Can Spam Act," which
legalized spam and invalidated California's tough anti-spam law before it could
go into effect. Randall Harold Cunningham resigned from the
House on November 28, 2005 after pleading
guilty to federal charges of conspiracy
to commit bribery,
mail fraud,
wire fraud, and
tax
evasion.
Bob Ney, an Ohio congressman,
pleaded quilty to charges of
bribery in October 2006. Bob Ney accepted several thousand dollars worth of
gifts from Jack Abramoff for
legislative 'favors'.
"The
reason there are tens of thousands of lobbyists is because the ever-expanding
US government creates ever-increasing opportunities for abuse. The more the US
government does, the more lobbyists there will be to protect special interests
at the expense of the common interest.
You can't take a congressman to
lunch for $25 and buy him a hamburger or a steak or something like that. But
you can take him to a fund-raising lunch and not only buy him that steak, but
give him $25,000 extra and call it a fund-raiser - and have all the same access
and all the same interactions with that congressman." - Jack
Abramoff
Lawrence A. Franklin,
formerly a colonel in the Air Force reserve and a former Iran desk officer in
the office of the Secretary of Defense is sentenced to 12 years for turning
classified documents over to two lobbyists of the
American Israel Public Affairs
Committee.
Jan 12, 2012 Former Southwest Michigan congressman
Mark Siljander, accused of accepting stolen funds on behalf of a Missouri
charity with alleged terrorism ties, was sentenced Wednesday to a year in
federal prison.
Four co-defendants of Siljander, who served in Congress
from 1981 until 1987, also were sentenced in U.S. District Court in Kansas
City.
Sentences ranged from probation to nearly five years in prison
for Mubarak Hamed, the former executive director of the Columbia-based Islamic
American Relief Agency.
Prosecutors said Hamed conspired to hire
Siljander to lobby for the charity's removal from a government list of
charities suspected of funding international terrorism.
The charity
closed in October 2004 after being designated a global terrorist organization
by the U.S. government.
Hamed, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Sudan,
pleaded guilty in June 2010 to illegally conspiring to transfer more than $1
million to Iraq and obstructing the administration of laws governing tax-exempt
charities.
Siljander, sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison,
pleaded guilty to obstruction and acting as an unregistered foreign agent.
Prosecutors said Siljander received $75,000 from the charity to push
for its removal from the list, and that $50,000 of it was part of unused grant
money that was supposed to have been returned to the US Agency for
International Development after it terminated its grants for two relief
projects in Mali, Africa, with the charity in 1999.
Of the $2 million
the charity received, $85,000 was supposed to have been returned to the agency
and wasn't, according to Don Ledford, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's
Office of the Western District of Missouri.
The indictment said
Siljander and three charity officers agreed to cover up the money's origins and
use it on the lobbying effort.
Siljander was charged with conspiring to
engage in money laundering by transferring stolen USAID funds, and obstructing
justice by lying to a federal grand
jury and making false statements to FBI agents, officials said.
Money was funneled to Siljander through nonprofits, prosecutors said.
The original indictment alleged the charity sent about $130,000 to help
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whom the United States has designated as a global
terrorist.
The money, sent to bank accounts in Peshawar, Pakistan, in
2003 and 2004, was masked as donations to an orphanage located in buildings
that Hekmatyar owned.
Authorities described Hekmatyar as an Afghan
mujahedeen leader who has participated in and supported terrorist acts by
al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Prosecutors said Siljander, who now lives in
Great Falls, Va., lied to the FBI about being hired to lobby for the charity.
He told investigators that the money he received was a donation to help
him write a book about Islam and Christianity. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
