This new excerpt is from Chapter 4 on Alexander Litvinenko, metagrupos, drugs and international terrorism.

That source was a gold mine. When done, have enough information to link to Far West with Halliburton, the CIA, the private military contractors and, most importantly, with drugs.

Yasenev According to the article, "Far West in collaboration with Meteoric Tactical Solutions began in Angola in 1994" for "initiative of Victor Bout," who was involved in shipments of Soviet-made weapons to UNITA rebel group in exchange for diamonds, as we saw in the chapter "Victor Bout, the Merchant of Death '. At that time, Bout was the main supplier of weapons to Osama Bin Laden.

Diligence Iraq LLC, a private military company, could be described as the result of the CIA and MI5. In fact, this is a private intelligence service that serves the interests of financial-industrial groups linked to the U.S. Republican Party. According to the press release of Diligence, "The company was founded by William Webster, the only man who has directed both the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation" (FBI). Many of its top executives have been covert CIA agents who specialize in disrupting terrorism and insurgency.

One of the partners in the Middle East Diligence is New Bridge Strategies. According to the Financial Times, "New Bridge is linked with the Bush administration and Bush's family. Other partners include Joe Allbaugh, campaign manager for President George W. Bush and Ed Rogers and Lanny Griffith, former George HW Bush aides. "
Joe Allbaugh was also the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as of September 11 and remained there until March 2003, the month when the U.S. invaded Iraq. FEMA works as parallel government in times of national emergency.

But in this complex and intricate maze of contacts had a direct path to the Colombian drug cartels. And by the secret service agents who work outside the law and represent metagrupos international private military contractors, corporate America first line, and finally, the portal of the White House, as explained later.

In fact, the link with the House Banking is much closer than the boundless imagination might suppose. In 2005, Filin and two of the founders of the company, Anton Surikov and Alexei Likhvintsev, President Bush visited there.

The ratio of Meteoric Tactical Solutions and Diligence LLC with Far West and American political leadership can be explained in several ways. Ie it is a coincidence is one. Quite another thing to Halliburton's relationship with Far West and drug trafficking. Halliburton was the company of Dick Cheney. Cheney is both the vice president of the United States and the only shareholder of the company, with about forty-five million dollars in stock.

Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton, is one of the most important pieces of the Bush-Cheney rule. The success of Richard Cheney, a colleague of Bush, Halliburton ensure a feast of five years in federal contracts and loans secured by the taxpayer for a total of three thousand eight hundred million dollars is only a partial indicator of the benefits Bush administration has brought to the company.
KBR employs more than 20,000 people in a hundred countries and provides services ranging from installation of oil rigs at sea until the drilling of wells, through the training of security forces and supply food and whole armies. Having spent years researching the relationship of corporate America with the CIA and its covert operations, I knew what KBR represented as an entity in itself. Wherever there is oil KBR. However, even where there is war or armed insurrection is increasingly more often KBR. From Bosnia to Kosovo and Chechnya from Afghanistan, Rwanda, Burma, Pakistan, Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia to Iran, Libya, Mexico and Colombia, KBR is there to provide logistical support to U.S. forces. It would be correct to say that there is a direct link between the facilities of Kellogg, Brown & Root, often located in remote and dangerous, with each region producing and consuming drugs in the world. Afghanistan and Colombia are the largest drug producing economies in the world, it is also highly militarized countries. The drug business is protected, and there is present KBR. Of course, their presence is not proof of anything. For now.

A direct link between drugs and Dick Cheney

According to a report by the Center for Public Integrity August 2000, entitled "Cheney Led Halliburton to Feast at Federal Trough," KBR was thirty-eight billion dollars in federal contracts and loans secured by the taxpayer. The loans had been granted the Export-Import Bank (EXIM) and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). When searching for information on EXIM and OPIC through the "CIA Base ©" from Ralph McGehee, an excellent search engine first-hand information, I discovered that both institutions are replete with CIA infiltrators and often provide a facade, called Non Official English Cover (NOC) to its employees. NOC is a term used in espionage (particularly by the CIA) to refer to agents or officials who, as a cover, assume roles in organizations without ties to the government for which they work.

From one of these secured loans that were made to the Russian banking and financial corporation Alfa Group, 292 million was earmarked for payment of services contracted with Brown and Root, that is, reforms of a Siberian oil field owned by Russian oil company Tyumen Oil Company. In 1998, Alfa Group had completed the acquisition of 51% of Tyumen Oil in a contest apparently manipulated. An official report of the FSB, Russia's government agency equivalent to the FBI, noted that senior executives of Alfa Group, Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr oligarchs Aven "allegedly were involved in drug trafficking from Southeast Asia to Europe through Russia." These same executives, Fridman and Aven, who reportedly trafficked heroin in a business related to the family Solntsevo of the Russian mafia, who allegedly sought loans to the EXIM loans that Halliburton's political lobby was later aasegurar. As a result, the work of Brown and Root in Alfa Tyumen oil fields could continue and spread. Later, the researchers tracked the mob's dirty money to the bank Solntsevo Menatep, Khodorkovsky. The director of Diligence LLC, Richard Burt, a member of the board of Alfa Group, which way the accounts of industrial companies and more sensitive Russian military.

The FSB document claims that, in late 1993, a senior executive of Alpha met with Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, the financial brains behind the notorious Cali cartel, now in prison, "to close a money transfer on the Alpha Bank from tax havens like the Bahamas and Gibraltar. The plan was to inject it back into the Russian economy by buying shares in Russian companies. 'Another coincidence, perhaps?
But it would be even more difficult to qualify Cheney and Halliburton matching a key point in the report of the Center for Integrity, whereby Tyunmen attorney in Washington, James C. Langdon, Jr., signature Aikin Gump "helped to coordinate the collection of twenty million dollars in funding for the campaign of George W. Bush, for which hired a hundred lawyers and other professionals in the capital's lobbying should get, each twenty-five thousand dollars to the campaign.

The heroin mentioned in the report of the Center for Public Integrity and corroborated by the FSB document originally came from Laos. The hearings of 1998 in the U.S. Congress on the report of the Inspector General of CIA drug trafficking determined that Laos had long been a base of operations for the Bush administration officials Richard Armitage and the legendary Ted Shackley, former Deputy Director of CIA operations. In Laos, the heroin was traveling through Southeast Asia to the Vietnamese port of Haiphong, where was a boat trip to the Russian port of Vladivostok, headquarters of the Russian Fleet Pacific Fleet, then by train across Siberia and finally to Europe , also by train or truck, in the meantime passing through the hands of Russian Mafia leaders in Chechnya and Azerbaijan, a very fertile countries in armed conflict and drug trafficking, as well as oil. Brown and Root operates all along this route. Another coincidence.

The aforementioned Anton Surikov, a member of the board of directors of Far West, inadvertently confirmed the relationship between Far West and KBR in a letter to human resources activist Oleg Grechenevsky, Surikov. In it, Surikov wrote that "cooperating with the Americans in the field of commercial transportation, not on direct contracts between our company [Far West Ltd.] and the U.S. government, but through an intermediary company founded halfway between the company and a private U.S. company, which in turn interacts with the U.S. government. "

We know this is not mentioned company Kellogg, Brown & Root. So the footsteps of Dick Cheney seem closer to the drug issue than one might have imagined.

What is becoming clear that the dominant metagrupo had a front and a position of influence undeniably Western. Among the members of the organization include former agents and active agents in the Special Forces and the Secret Service and private military contractors. The link with the drug was also incontestable. And one of the key members of the organization was Kellogg, Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton. The visible face of the group's businesses, Far West Ltd., Halliburton has contractual obligations in the Caucasus and Diligence in Iraq.

The missing in my research were metagrupo links with terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda and the relationship of this time as the U.S. government.

What do we know of this international metagrupo, their relationship with drugs, money laundering, oil and terrorism?

We know that the U.S. has supported in the past to groups like the Taliban and indirectly, therefore, to Al Qaeda. Zbigniew Brzezinski has admitted the operation of the organization and more in a 1998 interview with a French publication, "We did not pressure on the Russians to intervene, but deliberately increase the chances that they did ... That secret operation was a great idea, had the effect of drawing the Russians to the Afghan trap. "When the interviewer asked Brzezinski if he regretted having supported the Islamic fundamentalists and given arms and advice to future terrorists, Brzezinski replied:" What is most important to world history, the Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Brzezinski then elaborates on the subject in his book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, "In fact, an Islamic-resurgimieto and instigated from outside not only by Iran but also Saudi Arabia, may become an impetus for the new nationalism, increasingly common, determined to oppose any reintegration under Russian rule and therefore their control infidel. "

Brzezinski certainly has a strong mind. In his book, states unequivocally that "however, it becomes imperative to avoid the meantime, the emergence of any rival Eurasian [Russia], able to dominate the region and thus become a rival to America."

Here is a clear admission that the U.S. has fostered and encouraged Islamic movements more radical sticklers as a means to an end in Central Asia. And the usefulness of such groups to that end did not end with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
