Clinton was HANDCUFFED BY THE REPUBLICAN BOZOS that could ONLY THINK OF HIM GETTING A BJ while THEY COULDN"T!
North to Alaska!
When we looked for evidence for the intriguing claim, we found an October 21,
2000 New York Times story confirming our reader’s account of Bush’s summer in
Alaska.
“When Mr. Bush arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska International Industries was a
fledgling business whose holdings included Alaska International Air, an air cargo
company that was loading its giant Lockheed-382 Hercules airplanes, the civilian
version of C-130's, with construction equipment and supplies and flying them to
pipeline workers 24 hours a day,†reported the Times.
Neil G. Bergt, a pilot and entrepreneur who was president of both the parent
company and the airline, told the paper, "We used to haul the equivalent of the
Berlin airlift every week."
“People who worked there recall that in addition to its aviation and construction
work for the pipeline, the company flew planes that carried food and mining
equipment into Zambia and ambulances into Libya. It also "flew a bunch of F-14
parts into a town in Iran for the shah," said Steve Scott, who worked as a
loadmaster. And "we helped build a military base in Oman."
The Times reported that a number of onetime employees say they found
themselves doing contract work for the CIA. And the company’s President
seemed to confirm their reports.
“I had a big reputation for doing C.I.A. work," Mr. Bergt said. "It wasn't deserved.
We did some."
Its a Puzzlement
“What might seem puzzling about Mr. Bush's sojourn in Alaska is that it never
comes up,†reported the Times. “His autobiography does not mention it. Nor do
three other biographies of him published recently. Reporters on his campaign
plane say they cannot recall his ever mentioning it, and many of his friends say
they have never heard him refer to it.â€
In his campaign book, Mr. Bush recounts the summers he spent delivering mail
at a law firm, working for a stockbroker, roughnecking on an offshore oil rig,
helping out on a ranch and selling sporting goods. But there is no mention of
Alaska.
His experience there has now emerged in part because a leaflet that
Republicans have circulated in the state on his behalf referred to him as "a
former Alaska resident."
Mr. Bartlett, the Bush spokesman, said he did not know why the summer job
had not come up before in interviews with the governor. I'm rarely asked about
it," Bartlett told the Times. As for why Mr. Bush himself so rarely mentions it,
Mr. Bartlett said it was so long ago, so brief and so uneventful that it hardly ever
seemed to the governor worth mentioning.
The aviation arm of Alaska International had a colorful list of clients, including
the Central Intelligence Agency and the shah of Iran
“But Mr. Bush knew nothing about them, says Dan Bartlett, whom the Bush
presidential campaign has placed in charge of dealing with the press on
biographical matters.†"The only thing he knew the company was doing was
flying freight in C-130's to the north Alaskan slope," Mr. Bartlett said. "That is
the extent of his knowledge."
Another “modifed limited hangoutâ€
What the Times failed to report was that Bergt changed the airline’s name, when it began passenger service, from Alaska
International to Mark Air. This relieved the paper of telling its readers that Mark Air, which flew support flights for Oliver
North’s NHAO, had been fingered for drug trafficking by the Iran Contra Final Report.
Ironically, it was Senator John Kerry who began an investigation of allegations that elements of the supply network
supporting the Contras were linked to drug traffickers, in early 1986.
When the Commission’s findings were released, they revealed that Mark Air, was "strongly suspected" by US Customs of
owning an aircraft that had been used in 1984 to smuggle cocaine into the United States from South America.
Further, according to Customs, the aircraft was sold that same year by Mark Air to "a large scale [unnamed] drug
trafficking organization recently convicted in federal court."
Although unnamed by the Kerry Commission, this is almost certainly the smuggling organization of Juan Matta
Ballesteros, suspected of having connections capable of ensuring that US law enforcement was “looking the other wayâ€
when their C130’s roared into town.
Customs also reported also that it was investigating the financial activities of Mark Air and its officers because of "large
cash movements to and from Mexico and other foreign countries."
A "major narcotics smuggling ring"
In a report that is the very definition of a “Modified Limited Hangout,†the Commission stated that US Customs reportedly
had confirmed that Mark Air had sold the aircraft to a major narcotics smuggling ring, but "the sale to this group may have
been a legitimate business deal and not drug related;†and that Customs indicated that the information concerning Mark Air
officers carrying large quantities of cash was "certain," but that "such behavior is common in the air charter business
and thus is not by itself suspicious.â€
Nor is this the only intelligence-related scandal with which Bush’s employer was involved. Despite an eight-year U.S.
embargo on the sale of all military equipment to Libya, the airline assisted Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Khadafy in
obtaining three giant C-130 ''Hercules'' transport planes.
''The Hercules aircraft in Libya are doing deadly work. They were in Colonel Khadafy's invasion of Chad,'' said Pierre
Salinger on ABC’s 20-20. Libya obtained the three planes -- reportedly the most powerful military aircraft in existence --
through a series of international agents and intrigue, the broadcast reported.
The middleman used in the deal may even have relevance in questioning of the forces involved in 9/11. Libya managed to
acquire the planes through an intermediary in Miami who purchased the plane from Alaska International Airways, according
to Salinger.
The intermediary who purchased the plane and re-sold it to Khadafy was identified as notorious Lebanese weapons
merchant Sarkis Soghanalian, also a key figure in BCCI.
Tropical plants & international intrigue
Once again, although young George W Bush played no part in the C130 sale, he was clearly operating in a milieu of
“international agents and intrigue†which smacks of the CIA.
In an update on our earlier report about Bush’s year in “tropical plants,†the man Bush was working for during the year he
spent traveling Guatemala and Central America (see pt I), former Zapata Offshore President Robert Gow, was at the same
time embroiled in a takeover attempt of the notorious United Fruit Company (on whose Board sat his father, Ralph Gow, a
long-time Director), and that while Bush was there supposedly “looking over tropical plants,†the company was actively
participating in a counter-insurgency program with the Guatemalan Government as part of the CIA’s Operation Condor.
Far from confirming the conventional wisdom that Bush spent the more poorly-documented stretches of time in his
biography with his cowboy boots up on a desk somewhere, pulling the tab on another ‘tall cold one,’ the new evidence
uncovered points instead to the far more sinister conclusion that during his supposed “lost years†Bush was being initiated
into a national-security oligarchy, a secret and invisible state within the public state, composed of multiple generations of
certain ‘blue-blood’ Eastern families like Bush’s, who appear to have been running America’s intelligence agencies as if
they were a ‘family business.’
The real question is why— especially in an election year— such important information is only available in the
