The other day I came upon this website
Global Analysis and International Intelligence
http://www.worldreports.org/
the article titled "Over the Cliff: Full Faith and Credit Ditched" is about Ambassador Leo Wanta and his quest to get 4.5 Trillion dollars he says the government should give to him for services rendered to the USA.
In November and December last year, lawyers acting for the authorities on the one hand, and for Ambassador Leo Wanta on the other, reached a compromise agreement under which this great American patriot was to receive $4.5 trillion from the vast store of funds of which he is the Trustor, corralled at the end of the Cold War on Presidential instructions.
The fund in question was originally 27.97 trillion$ to be used for currency manipulation,causing the downfall of the USSR.
It seems the ambassador is trying to do the right thing and pay the taxes on this money but the Bushies won`t turn over the funds.
DEALING HONESTLY AND TRANSPARENTLY IS FOREIGN TO THESE OPERATIVES
The details of the Settlement were reconfirmed at a joint intelligence meeting under which Leo Wanta agreed to prepay corporate taxes at 35% of $4.5 trillion, netting the US Treasury clean funds worth $1,575,000,000,000, and to prepay corporate taxes to the State of Virginia at the rate of 6% on the $4.5 trillion, equating to $270 billion, followed by regular corporate tax payments direct to the U.S. Treasury estimated by Leo Wanta at $96 billion per banking day, once start-up operations have been executed. Secondary trading operations with U.S. counterparties would be likely to raise the total new inflow to the Treasury to $200 billion per banking day.
There is much more on the site about the administrations involvement in this matter, such as Negroponte`s new power to excuse corporations from accurate reporting of financial matters.
NEGROPONTE GIVEN POWERS TO EXCUSE CORPORATIONS FROM ACCURATE REPORTING
Perhaps to facilitate scams surrounding Leo Wanta's overdue Settlement, which on the evidence available appear to have been preplanned, President Bush provided Mr John Negroponte, whom he had recently appointed to be his intelligence czar, with broad authority - in the sacred name of 'national security', as always - to excuse publicly traded American corporations from their usual accounting and securities disclosure obligations. Notice of this odd development surfaced in an obscure entry in the Federal Register, and was dated and signed by the President on 5th May 2006.
There is much more but this is my first diary so I`ve got to cut it off now.
