SUMMARY
GOD NEVER SLEEPS Trilogy
TRIANGLE OF POWER: Today, three major forces collude to control the world - Intelligence, Mega-Criminal Enterprise, and the Power Elite. They are related to one another in draconian ways. They are GOD - Gold, Oil and Drugs. Thus, we are fighting for GOD. "In GOD We Trust." But it's too late to trust a god whose profitable name is WAR. SPY 1099 teams -- "Spy in the Box" -- work for all factions from governments to transnational corpoglomerates and mega-criminal enterprise. All are trumped by clandestine machinations of the Power Elite and their hidden agenda.
TWISTED DESCENT
Part 1 - TWISTED DESCENT: Spy 1099 OIL -- "Lions for Lambs" (2007) meets "The Recruit" (2003) A stand-alone film that can be franchised into a SPY 1099 trilogy. An international thriller based on Outsourcing in today's transnational Intelligence Community.
The SPY 1099 team fights corrupt governments and the mysterious G.O.D.S. in the Caribbean to keep cheap oil flowing. Opening credits takes us in a slow slide down the crooked shaft of a newly-drilled oil well, which makes a TWISTED DESCENT through the ocean floor to the buried treasure of light oil, foreshadowing our own "twisted descent" into the underworld of our protagonists, the Spy 1099 group. Hired for 'risk management' of the Cuba-Haiti oil exploration, they soon discover the main risk is the G.O.D.S. at the top of the food-chain -- their own employers' clandestine involvement in global drugs, money laundering, and black gold trade.
Rival factions and governments collude in transnational criminal enterprise. Tricksters trick tricksters and Watchers watch the Watchers. Each struggles with conflicting moral problems. Pressured from all sides by conflicting desires, loyalties in the "Spy in the Box" group are compromised and divided in the process. Heroes and opponents do an intricate dance, sometimes switching roles with 7-10 major reveals. A complex sequence of tricks surprises not only the opposition, but also the audience.
Spy games and operations are outsourced to private contractors, who subcontract more independent contractors. They have penetrated the CIA and the moonlighting CIA has penetrated them, changing the Rules of Engagement. Multinational corporation and crime organizations lurk in the shadows and in the well-lit haunts of the Power Elite. Their operations are clandestine, but we have "a need to know" more.
Sometimes the relatively unbelievable turns out to be true. The SPY 1099 team battles rival factions, seemingly against all odds. Perhaps as much as 50% of CIA work is outsourced. In 2010, 188,000 contractors outnumber full-time workers at Homeland Security. Congress calls it "unacceptable, untenable and unsustainable." But it is a runaway trend impossible to halt. Private security contractors also backup the military and US overseas interests.
Haiti and Cuba is the setting; oil is the prize. Since the transfer of power from Fidel to Raúl Castro in 2006, The U.S. 4th Fleet has been reestablished. U.S. Navy ships, aircraft and submarines are operating in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of focus, which encompasses the Caribbean, and Central and South America and the surrounding waters. China is backing the widening of the Panama Canal for supertankers with capacity of a million barrels of crude oil and liquified natural gas. That, in turn, will open new routes whereby oil and mineral resources from West Africa can be taken directly to China -- deepening political bonds that Beijing has carefully fostered in that region.
The same dynamic bolsters China's influence in the Caribbean, expected to develop as a storage hub for oil before it heads west through the canal and on to China. Economists at Goldman Sachs believe that the new canal could play a pivotal role in its Bric (Brazil, Russia, India, China) investment story -- as a channel more directly linking the Chinese and Brazilian markets.
The Cold War has become a tightly wound COILED war - covert action for oil rights. The state-owned Cuban oil company says the country may have more than 20bn barrels of oil in its offshore fields - more than double the previous estimate. Oil exports are now Cuba's second leading export. Meanwhile the G.O.D.S. (GoldOilDrugs Syndicate) observe from their global sanctuaries. Can nations coerce adversaries to change policies by threatening their access to oil? Oil coercion affords great potential leverage over states, not because of oil’s economic importance as many assume, but because of the devastating effect cutoffs can have on the target’s military power. Three variables determine how vulnerable a state is to oil coercion: the percent of total oil imported, the number of supply sources it has, and the number of oil transportation routes. Potentially vulnerable states, acting strategically, to recognize the danger of oil cutoff and take anticipatory measures to avert it, including preventive war. Preventive conflict usually breaks out before coercive threats are made. Oil factored into Japan’s surrender in WWII. Opening Scenes with Credits takes us down the shaft of a newly-drilled oil well, which makes a TWISTED DESCENT throgh the ocean floor to the buried treasure of light oil. It foreshadows and mirrors the "twisted descent" into the underworld of our protagonists. Fade to... ACT 1 - ACT 1 of SPY 1099 opens at a job fair with a highly-experienced team of intelligence recruiters with placements for linguists, translators, interrogators, risk assessment, damage control, even counter terrorism analysts. Required skill sets allow us to deduce what kinds of activities are being conducted. Everybody, from the well-dressed applicants to the stern-faced recruiters, wears a badge reading “Secret” or “Top Secret,” TS/SCI-cleared (Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information). There’s only one thing missing: the U.S. government. Every one of these jobs is being advertised by a private company -- one of hundreds of firms that contract with the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, or the Pentagon to provide everything from urine testers to supervisors of clandestine operations overseas. The people hired for these jobs may be doing government work in Washington or Baghdad, but they will be paid by firms including the international consulting giants. Intelligence has merged with police in Fusion Centers. The job fair is sponsored by an online recruitment firm headed by a former Intelligence Officer from CIA with contacts in all branches of the IC. He claims his company can hardly keep up with the demand for intelligence contractors. “The government has become addicted to the use of private industry in the world of intelligence,” he says. “In fact, they’ve made a science of it.” Indeed they have.
This event is open only to candidates with an intelligence background and a government security clearance -- the more high-level, the better to protect information and personnel. Special Access Programs (SAP) and special access budgets (SAB) are the Pentagon's terminology when used to refer to black (covert) programs and black budgets, respectively.
Both the government and private sector now engage in domestic and foreign Covert Action, or "dirty tricks." Corporate involvement in clandestine programs raises operational security concerns that only exist because these companies market their services to the private sector, capitalizing upon their exotic experience with the US government.
PART 2 and 3 - DRUGS & GOLD
DEADLY DEVIATION
DEADLY DEVIATION - SPY 1099 is the second film in a trilogy of international thrillers based on today's outsourced Intelligence Community and its relationship with the global drug meta-groups controlled by multinational corporations, the 'Dark Suits' of the Power Elite. More money is spent on dope than food. OPS (Organized Criminal Societies) that are drug dealers enjoy close relations with influential international bankers, weapons merchants, intelligence agents and military officers whose web of interconnecting interests can only be described as a "cartel".
These drug cartels play a pivotal role in international relations, shaping the geo-strategic landscape in their own best interests while attracting political and military leaders of major countries around the world into partnerships of convenience designed to further the ideological, military and economic interests of the elites in those countries. Ever since the Nugan Hand Bank affair of the late seventies, bank crashes have followed a slick and familiar template. Narcotics trafficking, gun running, CIA covert ops., money laundering and fraud on a massive scale are just some of the ingredients that have sent bank after bank crashing to its knees. Once the smoke clears bank depositors and shareholders are left picking up the tab.
Organized crime syndicates are now the single largest growing business sector on the planet. They just love banking. The Mafia is now estimated to earn $250 billion a year from their legitimate investments. Dozens of nations who maintain strict bank secrecy laws are de facto providing full banking services to these mandarins of dirty money. A large number of banks are actually owned by Mafia syndicates.Some of the largest and most respectable appear content to turn a blind-eye and earn massive commissions from laundering dirty money. The prudent image of bankers is just that - an image. Banking survives purely on depositor confidence making it the biggest ongoing "confidence trick" the world has ever witnessed. That confidence has been dented by one scandal following on the heels of another, including today's massive bailouts.
One of the earliest scandals was the Nugan Hand Bank affair. Michael Hand, an ex CIA operative from the Bronx joined up with Australian playboy and inheritor of a Mafia fortune, Frank Nugan, in 1973 and incorporated the Nugan Hand Bank. The bank sported an interesting and exclusive board of directors. President of the bank was Rear Admiral (ret'd) Earl Yates; former chief of the Navy's strategic planning. Legal counsel was the CIA's William Colby, and Walter McDonald, former deputy director of the spook agency was listed as a consultant. An in-house commodity trader on the bank's payroll was also a leading heroin importer, while Richard Secord, later to be implicated in the Iran-Contra affair, was said to have a business connection. The bank collapsed after 7 years when Frank Nugan was found murdered in his Mercedes.
In 2010, large amounts of cash continue to flow out of Kabul by plane for Dubai, including a wide range of foreign currencies. Most is in U.S. dollars, euros and -- to the bafflement of officials -- Saudi Arabian riyals.' A blizzard of bank notes is flying out of Afghanistan -- often in full view of customs officers at the Kabul airport -- as part of a cash exodus that is confounding U.S. officials and raising concerns about the money's origin. But at a time when the United States and its allies are spending billions of dollars to prop up the puppet regime of President Hamid Karzai, the volume of the outflow has stirred concerns that funds have been diverted from aid. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, for its part, is trying to figure out whether some of the money comes from Afghanistan's thriving opium trade. This is money the CIA is laundering for the Afghan opium and gas pipelines. Notorious off-shore bank, BCCI is a precedent. The Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), a drug-laundering bank which was of use to CIA Director William Casey precisely because of its corrupt global reach. They were the only way we could talk to certain folks, and they were the only vehicle available for some transactions. Who else could wire something together to Saudi Arabia, China, Israel, and the U.S.? The notion of a single chess player in the Great Game is false, especially in Central Asia, where dominant states (the U.S., Russia, and China) and local states are all alike weak. Here major multinational corporations like BP and Exxon are major players. In countries like Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan they dwarf both local state power and also the U.S. governmental presence, whether official or covert. The true local powers are apt to be two which governments are notoriously inept at controlling: first, the "agitated Muslims" which Brzezinski insanely derided, and second, illicit trafficking, above all drug trafficking. There is a powerful military organized crime community which from 1992 through to the present has controlled substantial drug flows from Afghanistan to Russia and Europe and is also involved in laundering "dirty" money and is actively involved in Russia's political life. The community is controlled by former intelligence officers, Afghan war veterans, and now drug barons. The highly integrated drug traffic industry, in addition to serving the political ends of world powers, has its own political as well as economic objectives. It requires that in major growing areas there must be limited state control, a condition most easily reached by fostering regional rebellion and warfare, often fought by its own private armies. This is the on-going situation of designed violence in every major growing area, from Lebanon to Myanmar, Colombia to Afghanistan. Once the local power of drug armies was enough in itself to neutralize the imposition of state authority. But today there are increasing signs that those at the highest level of the drug traffic will plot with the leaders of major states to ensure, or even to stage, violence that serves the power of the state and the industry alike. Thanks to extensive research in Russia, we know HIDDEN FORCE X exists on the global level as a drug meta-group, able to manipulate the resources of the drug traffic for its own political and business ends, without being at risk for actual trafficking. These ends include the creation of designed violence to serve the purposes of cabals in political power – most conspicuously in the case of the Yeltsin "family" in the Kremlin, but allegedly, according to Russian sources, also for those currently in power in the United States. A meta-group of this scale does not just help government agencies make history. It, and its predecessors, are powerful enough to help make history themselves. Far West, Ltd., its personnel, and the American firm which co-founded it in 1998, had Surikov and Saidov as directors when they attended the meeting in Khashoggi's villa in July 1999. It maintains the War on Terror. However they do not do so overtly, but as a hidden Force X whose presence is not normally acknowledged in the polite discourse of academic political scientists. On the contrary, references to it are usually suppressed. This is not the only such meta-group in the international drug milieu. Another oversees the new drug highway from north Myanmar (Burma) through the entrepreneurial zones of south China, and manages the international connections necessary to arrange for the smuggling of heroin and people into Australia and the eastern and western United States. There are other focal nodes for organized international drug trafficking, often above the reach of the law, including remnants of the dissident Hekmatyar drug network in Afghanistan. What is special about this meta-group is its global reach, which makes it of especial interest to the CIA and other pro-American agencies committed to globalization. The group's business front, Far West, Ltd., is said to have CIA-approved contractual dealings with Halliburton for geopolitical purposes in the Caucasus, as well as dealings in Iraq with Diligence LLC, a group with connections to Joe Allbaugh (the FEMA chief in 2001) and to the President's younger brother Neil Bush. The head of Far West recently told a Russian outlet that "a well-known American corporation... is a co-founder of our agency." In the Latin American press, Adnan Khashogi is said to be responsible for laundering the funds of the Columbian left insurrection organization FARC, which carries out an armed struggle with the official authorities, supported by the narcotics business." Yasenev describes Saidov as both a drug trafficker and an arms trafficker, involved with the Turk, Mekhmet, the supply of Russian arms to the Saudi-backed secessionists from Yemen in Aden. Saidov is described by Yasenev as having good relations not only with the CIA, but also with both Turkish Islamists and even with Ayman al-Zawahiri, the man often described as both the "mastermind" behind 9/11 and the senior partner in al Qaeda with the younger bin Laden. Diligence LLC was founded by William Webster, the only man to head both the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mike Baker, its chief executive officer, spent 14 years at the CIA as a covert field operations officer specializing in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations. Whitley Bruner, its chief operating officer in Baghdad, was once the CIA station chief in Iraq.
The inappropriateness of a military response to the threat of terrorism has been noted by a number of counterterrorism experts, such as retired U.S. Army colonel Andrew Bacevich:
The concept of global war as the response to violent Islamic radicalism is flawed. We ought not be in the business of invading and occupying other countries. That's not going to address the threat. It is, on the other hand, going to bankrupt the country and break the military.
Because of budgetary constraints, America has resorted to uncontrollable subordinates to represent its public power in these remote places. Private Military Contractors (PMCs) are authorized to commit violence in the name of their employers. Hence it is no surprise that some of the largest PMCs were also political supporters for pursuing the ill-conceived "War on Terror." Blackwater was the most notorious example. Diligence LLC was licensed to do business in Iraq as a private military contractor (PMC). But it could be called a Private Intelligence Contractor (PIC), since it is virtually a CIA spin-off.
Its partner in Diligence Middle East (DME) is New Bridge Strategies, whose purpose has been described by the New York Times as "a consulting firm to advise companies that want to do business in Iraq, including those seeking pieces of taxpayer-financed reconstruction projects." Another Private Intelligence Contractor or PIC is Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), an $8 billion corporation involved in defense, intelligence community, and homeland security contracting.
Before becoming Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates was a member of SAIC's board of directors. SAIC personnel have also been recruited from CIA, NSA, and DARPA. SAIC helped supply the faulty intelligence about Saddam’s WMD that then generated ample contracts for SAIC in Iraq. The passage of the Patriot Act generated a new realm of profit for SAIC contractors -- domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens – as well as new intelligence fusion centers to carry this out.
These fusion centers, “which combine the military, the FBI, state police, and others, have been internally promoted by the US Army as means to avoid restrictions preventing the military from spying on the domestic population.” Responding to such criticisms, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano stated in March 2009 that the mandate of fusion centers was not to launch independent domestic surveillance operations but connect the dots between lawfully obtained information already in fragmented “siloed” databases. She did not mention that some of this information was from private and even anonymous sources.
PART 3 - DARK SUITS: Spy 1099 GOLD "Eyes Wide Shut" (1996) meets "Wall Street 2" (2010). Without empathy, the 'dark suits' manipulate and declare the wars and devastate the economies of target countries to line their own pockets. Dark Suits have set themselves up as a Dark Nobility, Olympian "Gods" living on mountains of Gold, Oil and Drugs. The Bush family made their money in Oil & Drugs. Queen Victoria made her money in Drugs. The Rothchilds made their money in all three Gold, Oil and Drugs. But a reckoning is coming. German TV discovered some evocative proof of gold counterfeiting, in the form of tungsten gold substitutes coming to the W.C. Heraeus foundry, which is the world's largest privately-owned precious metals refiner and fabricator, located in Hanau, Germany. The foundry has isolated at least one 500-gram tungsten bar due for melting, originating from a (so far) unnamed bank, which as the head of the foundry stated made the unpleasant discovery that "not all the glitters is gold." China’s central bank had discovered some 400-ounce gold-plated tungsten bars among those it had recently received from bonded warehouses. It was later learned that at least four counterfeit bars were found and that all had come from sources in the United States. As suspicions grow about counterfeit bars among those held in bonded warehouses for delivery against either COMEX or London Bullion Market Association contracts or shares of exchange traded funds, investors could panic. So, you can understand that there has been almost a total blackout on news coverage on this story.
Tungsten is the only lower value metal that has a specific density close enough to gold to fabricate passable counterfeit pieces of the same size and weight as genuine coins and ingots. Over the years, there have been a few isolated reports of smaller coins and bars found to have been drilled to remove some of the gold which was replaced with tungsten. However, it is far more profitable to fabricate larger original bars of tungsten that are then gold-plated.
$100 Billion - In 1945, US Intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These would be combined with treasure recovered inside Japan during the US occupation, and with Nazi loot recovered in Europe, to create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. In 1945, American Intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold, but to keep its recovery secret. The treasure—gold, platinum, barrels of diamonds and gemstones plundered by Japan from all of East and Southeast Asia—would be combined with Nazi loot recovered in Europe to create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. This “Black Gold” gave Washington virtually limitless unvouchered funds for covert operations. According to CIA officials, between 1945 and 1947 the gold bullion was secretly moved to 176 accounts at banks in 42 countries. This provided an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America’s allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries. Other treasure was recovered inside Japan during the U.S. Occupation. General MacArthur, President Truman, John Foster Dulles, and a handful of others, knew all about the hidden plunder. Every president since Harry Truman has been involved in covering up the existence of these secret funds. There is more than half a century of secret collaboration between Washington and Tokyo, between the CIA and the underworld in Japan and other countries. The cloak of “national security” created a situation ripe for abuse and corruption. The authors reveal how former CIA and Pentagon officials, and rogue entrepreneurs, use these secret funds to set up private intelligence and security operations to meddle in American foreign policy—without Congressional oversight, or the knowledge of the American people. Overseen by General MacArthur, President Truman, and John Foster Dulles, this "Black Gold" gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years.
