The UAE are talking to the CIA -- about deal to sell the Federal Reserve?
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 11:24 AM by PhilipShore
I think the story is much more involved then ports; it also involves secret offshore banking and trading agreements.

If the Port deal goes thru; The Federal Reserve Bank will probably be sold shortly, thereafter, and the Repukes will receive a golden parachute.

3. Is there a good link to a summary of BCCI? I never paid attention
to that scandal, now I'm finding the need to go back and educate myself some.

5. after you finish with that...
(or, if you would like to stay in chronological sequence, before you start with that)...

read about australia's Nugan-Hand Bank. Just as much dirt, intrigue, espionage, etc as BCCI.

As a teaser, the head of the bank was found on a back road in his car with a shotgun blast to the head, holding his bible. Guess who's name and personal phone number was on a card in the bible?

4. Stop spreading bullshit
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 11:30 AM by Nederland
First of all, the Federal Reserve was created by an act of Congress and is not a private or publicly traded corporation that can be sold. Second, it is not a "bank" in the sense that it would even be useful to be owned by the UAE. Finally, you have no link or any evidence whatsoever for this claim, which makes me wonder what your motivation is.

8. It is a question--They reformed the FISA law in secret
The FISA law was created by an act of Congress; the Repukes rewrote that law in secret.

Why would they not reform the banking and trading laws in secret, to protect the National Security Economic interests of the Repukes, excuse me I mean the United States?

19. You are clueless
Bush's corporate masters would never let him sell the Federal Reserve. They control it right now and they will never let go of it.

12. The UAI has better tax free banking and trading laws for Repukes
I am not a lawyer, but if Bush is making offshore secret banking and trading deals with the Tax Haven (UAI), they would have to –- by defacto law, policy, and/ or by official law and/ or policy -- deal with that countries banking and trading laws.

The Federal Reserve buys and sells, trades Gold, etc. on the open market as does the UAI banks.

The Repukes in the White House, and the Repukes in the Federal Reserve –- would make more money with the UAI laws -- because it is tax free and secret.


Federal Reserve Act December 23, 1913


SEC. I4. Any Federal reserve bank may, under rules and regulations prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board, purchase and sell in the open market, at home or abroad, either from or to domestic or foreign banks, firms, corporations, or individuals, cable transfers and bankers' acceptances and bills of exchange of the kinds and maturities by this Act made eligible for rediscount, with or without the indorsement of a member bank.
Every Federal reserve bank shall have
power:
(a) To deal in gold coin and bullion at home or abroad, to make loans thereon, exchange Federal reserve notes for gold, gold coin, or gold certificates, and to contract for loans of gold coin or bullion, giving therefor, when necessary, acceptable security, including the hypothecation of United States bonds or other securities which Federal reserve banks are authorized to hold;
(b) To buy and sell, at home or abroad, bonds and notes of the United States, and bills, notes, revenue bonds, and warrants with a maturity from date of purchase of not exceeding six months, issued in anticipation of the collection of taxes or in
anticipation of the receipt of assured revenues by any State, county, district, political subdivision, or municipality in the
continental United States, including irrigation, drainage and reclamation districts....

17. The Repukes run the government in secret
The FISA law was reformed in secret, and who knows how many other laws they have defacto reformed. Then when the media finds out about it, they go to Congress and in back door deals revise the law; to exactly how they want the law to be.

I am not a lawyer, but It seems to me, that originally the Port Deal was rubber stamped by a kangaroo board, and that some of the people that agreed to the port deal on paper; had no knowledge of it, if the media had not found out about it would have been a done deal.

The Repukes, in the White House probably see the CIA as replacing Congress, with regard to law making.

18. Show us the remotest piece of evidence for this, please
Or are you just asking random questions? How about "the UAE are trying to introduce a foreign substance into our precious bodily fluids?" as another question?
