Stanford a cog in the U.S. intelligence dirty money laundering machine

“Sir” Allen Stanford appears to be yet another multi-billion dollar cog in a network of off-shore banks, corporate contrivances, and folding tent operations. Although Stanford is being investigated for a $8 billion fraud scheme, the U.S. Attorney for the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Stanford has “extensive” holdings on the island of St. Croix, told the Associated Press that the Obama Justice Department is “not actively pursuing” Stanford.

| The FBI is reportedly now investigating Stanford’s firms for laundering money for Mexico’s Gulf drug cartel. | |
The Obama campaign gave $4,600 in donations from Stanford to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless after the news broke about the investigation against Stanford’s firms.
A host of Democrats and Republicans reaped donations from Stanford, including jailed ex-Representative Bob Ney (R-OH), who was convicted in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal; former Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX); Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY), and Senators John McCain (R-AZ), John Cornyn (R-TX), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Charles Schumer (D-NY), and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX).
In 2006, Stanford obtained a knighthood from the Antiguan government thanks to his close relationship to Antiguan Prime Minister Spencer Baldwin, where Stanford International Bank maintains its headquarters. Stanford maintains dual U.S. and Antiguan citizenship. Stanford was also close to Antigua’s former Prime Minister Lester Bird, who was accused of massive corruption.
Ironically, it was while Baldwin’s United Progressive Party was in opposition in 2003 that he accused two of Bird’s ministers, Tourism Minister Molwyn Joseph and Planning Minister Gaston Browne, of accepting campaign donation bribes from Stanford in exchange for pubic lands in St. John’s, the Antiguan capital. Learning from his experience in donating to both Democrats and Republicans in the United States, Stanford ensures that both major parties in Antigua also received his monetary largess. It should also be noted that Antigua is a primary center for Russian-Israeli Mafia money laundering activities in the Caribbean.

That may come as unwelcome news not only to Stanford but to the CIA that could see its illegal money laundering operations if Stanford is arrested and tried. Of course, that may also be problematic since the Obama Justice Department has decided to maintain a Bush policy of invoking a privilege of state secrets in criminal and civil cases involving national security matters.
Last November 1, the Spanish news agency EFE reported that Hugo Chavez’s military intelligence agents raided Stanford International Bank in Caracas and investigated three Stanford Bank employees at the Venezuela branch who were believed to be U.S. intelligence agents.
Stanford International Bank was reported by EFE to have been founded “during the Great Depression.” The bank is part of the Stanford Financial Group that was reported to have $51 billion in assets. Stanford Capital Management, Stanford Group’s investment branch, managed a fund called Stanford Allocation Strategy. The investment arm is also under investigation.
On March 6, 2007, WMR reported: “WMR’s report about ‘Sir’ R. Allen Stanford and his Stanford Financial Group in Houston buying up land in Antigua and Barbuda and running roughshod over the government of that nation turned up an interesting important footnote to the story. Stanford’s Houston offices are directly across Westheimer Road in the part of the Galleria complex where Carlyle Group offices are located. Coincidence? Not with the Bush criminal cartel.”
The FBI is reportedly now investigating Stanford’s firms for laundering money for Mexico’s Gulf drug cartel. Stanford, Houston, off-shore banks, and drugs equal the perfect brew for another Bush family criminal cartel operation tied to the CIA.

Political campaigns live on dirty money.
Money is never “donated” to a political campaign. Campaign “donations” are payment for service to special interests.
You politicians will continue to come after your taxes, protect the Federal Reserve, fight wars, enforce insurance coverage, subsidize franken-food production and grant money to drug research. They will because they have no regard for the general welfare. Politicians work for the people that fund their political careers.
If you’re fed up with being treated like a fool, stop acting like one. Stop running out to vote in elections like a brainwashed primate, stop listening to the grinning idiots on TV, stop using their money and stop supporting their system.
If we stop using their filthy money, the Federal Reserve System will die and their politicians will go with them.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

I am a fan of te-d-p-,i-k,e. I am a fan of david-d-u-k-e. I have nothing better to do all day than to try and harm the Jewish people. Did you ever see their horns? My grandfather says I should grow out my hair and shave off my pointy beard, but I told him that the other people in my supremacist movement would have trouble recognizing me if I did that.he said that they would know me by my t-shirt with the s-w-a-s-ti-k-a on it, and I should get rid of that too. But I am very attached to my shirt, I never take it off. I need my bald head to help polish my n-a-zi belt buckles, and I need my pointy beard so my dog will kiss me (he doesn’t like a clean shaven face).

Madoff is said to have never made a stock trade in 13 years and was investigated in 2006 and nothing was found illegal. How can that be possible without the SEC being in on it?

We are supposed to believe that billionaires are all philanthropist and donate money to the lobbyist with no strings attached. And hookers take money for no reason too…
LOL,
Never seen a single one of these guys give a dime to the homeless. Loved the Bill Gates interview he had at a restaurant while a homeless person walked by and realizes the wealthiest man in the U.S. is inside and could help him.
But Gates turns a cold shoulder. He only donates to his foundations that support his agenda.
Tax write off and sterilizing everyone but his own family.
This guy Stanford and Maddoff are only practicing what the FED reserve taught them.
They run the biggest Ponzi Scheme in the world.
It becomes a Ponzi Scheme when it takes fresh new money to pay the old debts and are unable to pay everyone at once.
Ron Paul used to have a sign on his desk that said “Don’t steal, the government hates competition.”

are the dirty stories or rumors neverending? Why does dirt always seem to boomerang around to the the same group of people or organizations? Story after story of dirty pool or politics always seem to include either the CIA or one of the Bush’s. Why is that?

Jaguar Returns
No, not the car–the animal! A jaguar was captured just south of Tucson, Arizona this past week. The large cat had not been seen in many decades, almost a century.
In Central Mexico, jaguars have been spotted after over 100 years of absence. These creatures are making a roaring comeback.
What is bringing them back? Same project that is returning the thunderbirds, sea serpents and other creatures from long ago–the Illuminati plan to return North America to prehistoric conditions.

Nothing a 185gr frontal lobotomy wouldnt fix.

i noticed you didn’t post my corrections of some of this article’s factual in accuracies.
its kind of humourous to think this site rails about conspiracies of cover-up and hiding the truth… and yet when someone who has been living in antigua for years points out some obvious truth, this site hides it.
i guess i should have said: “pack a gun and pay no tax” or discuss frontal lobotomies.
