  • WMR "The United States has made an agreement with the pro-US, Israeli, and Saudi government of Prime Minister Fuad Siniora to gradually transform the Kleiaat airbase from a civilian airport to a military airbase. The base will function under a NATO umbrella but will be controlled by the United States. ... The recent move by Siniora against a private Hezbollah telecommunications network that extended from Beirut International Airport, south Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, Mount Lebanon, and greater Beirut to pro-Michel Aoun Christian enclaves in Jbeil and Keserwan is seen as a way to ensure that the Hezbollah-Aoun March 14 Alliance cannot securely communicate. The fact that the Lebanese opposition to the pro-US government was able to evade total electronic surveillance by the Israelis, the US National Security Agency, and the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) prompted pressure on the Beirut government to act against the Hezbollah network. That triggered a Hezbollah retaliation and the outbreak of warfare between Hezbollah and its allies and the central government." Saniora

In addition to owning four oriental rug stores -- one of which is in Austin, Texas -- Kaskas is also chairman of Mid-America Holding Company and founder of the New Orleans Polo Club. Kaskas also co-founded a mosque. Information was included in an article published in the September/October 1986 print edition of Saudi Aramco World. on Oriental rugs, lectures, special functions by the Fellowship ...etc ...

  • WMR A UN panel headed by former Canadian prosecutor Daniel Bellemare has concluded that former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated by a "criminal network" and not by either Syrian and Lebanese intelligence or Lebanese Hezbollah as proffered by the neocon propaganda mill operating out of Washington, DC and Jerusalem.  The UN panel said that a "Hariri Network" had the ex-Prime Minister under surveillance before the Beirut massive car bombing that killed Hariri and 22 other people in November 2005.    search terms: rogue, Syrian, Mossad, Elliot Abrams.  
  • WayneMadsenReport "A senior French DGSE -- Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure -- intelligence officer has told WMR that Lebanon's ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed in a car bombing arranged by Israel's Mossad. The revelation from French intelligence is significant as the French government of Jacques Chirac joined the Bush administration and the neo-con policy establishments in Washington and Israel in blaming Syria for the attack. According to the DGSE officer, Israel and its American backers wanted to blame Syria for the assassination of the popular Lebanese leader in order to blame Syria for the attack thus forcing the popular Lebanese revolt that saw the withdrawal of Syrian forces. That left Lebanon defenseless for the "Clean Break" attack launched by Israel, with US support, against Hezbollah and Lebanon's infrastructure. Assassination of Hariri -- French intelligence reports Mossad was behind it.  WMR was one of the first to report Israeli and American involvement in the assassination of Hariri, as well as those of Elie Hobeika, George Hawi, and other Lebanese politicians."
  • WayneMadsenReport  "WMR was the first to report on the establishment of a major US airbase in northern Lebanon to facilitate logistics for America's planned long-term stay in the Middle East, including the occupation of Iraq. On July 21, 2006, we reported, "With the carrying out of the Clean Break by Israel and the United States, profits for companies like Halliburton are bound to skyrocket. The Israeli attack on Lebanon is already estimated to have resulted in $2 billion in damage to Lebanon's infrastructure. WMR previously reported that Jacobs / Sverdrup has been promised a lucrative Pentagon contract to build a large U.S. airbase in northern Lebanon.  ...  Lebanese intelligence sources report that even without a formal agreement with Lebanon, the contract for the northern Lebanese air base has been let by the Pentagon to Jacobs Engineering Group of Pasadena, California. Other construction support will be provided by Bechtel Corporation. Jacobs Engineering and Jacobs Sverdrup are currently contracted for work in Saudi Arabia for Aramco, Iraq for the U.S. occupation authority, Bosnia, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. The Lebanese air base is reportedly to be used as a transit and logistics hub for U.S. forces in Iraq and as a rest and relaxation location for U.S. troops in the region. In addition, the Lebanese base will be used to protect U.S. oil pipelines in the region (Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Mosul/Kirkuk-Ceyhan) as well as to destabilize the Assad government in Syria."
  • WayneMadsenReport "July 14, 2007 -- NATO personnel surveyed Lebanese base in April.  WMR was the first to report on the Bush administration's plans to build a NATO base in northern Lebanon near the Syrian border. We have now learned that in April, U.S., German, and Turkish officers surveyed the Kleiaat airport in northern Lebanon, near Tripoli, the scene of recent fighting between "Al Qaeda"-linked Fatah al-Islam guerrillas and Lebanese army units newly supplied with weapons from the United States.  The assassinated Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was known to be strongly opposed to the planned American base in Lebanon. Although the neo-cons convinced the United Nations to convene an international tribunal that would accuse Syria of being behind the assassination of Hariri, the recent car bomb assassination of anti-Syrian Member of Parliament Walid Eido in Beirut represents yet another attempt to lay the blame for that and several other car bombings, including the one that killed Hariri, at the door of Damascus.  WMR has previously reported that these car bombing assassinations are being carried out by Mossad units, using disaffected former members of Syria's intelligence apparatus in Syria with the support of covert operations personnel supplied by the Bush administration."

  • "WMR   (Apr 2008) has learned from its Middle East intelligence sources that a leak from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office resulted in the last minute scuttling of an Israeli intelligence operation in Beirut that would have started a series of events that would have likely resulted in the outbreak of warfare between Israel and Lebanon, Syria, and possibly, between Iran and the United States. ... Israel's Mossad planned an April 25 assassination, likely by its favorite method, a massive car bomb, of Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Because the assassination would have triggered the "perfect storm" for the outbreak of war in Lebanon, with the involvement of Israel, the United States, Syria, and Iran, an official in Olmert's office leaked the assassination plan. When it became apparent that there was a leak, Mossad scuttled the entire operation." more search terms: CIA, Roland Carnaby, killed four days after planned assassination of Nasrallah, penetrated Houston, Cheney, ...

This editor recalls Palfrey stating over dinner that she had information from some of her escorts that involved pre-intelligence on the 9/11 attack. The intersection of Abramoff and his Russian-Israeli mob gang to knowledge possessed by Carnaby and Palfrey suggest that their deaths may have been as brazen as hits as the gunning down of Boulis on a Fort Launderdale street by hit men. That assassination was blamed on Abramoff and his associates.
