Nor: it has been a horrible day.. Jenin (link2) and Nablus (link2) (link3) invaded.. indescriminate machine gun fire.. tanks.. a 56 year old killed in his house.. in Nablus, the refugee camp has been surrounded for the last ten days.. a number of families held hostage by the Israelis.. after killing five people in the camp, Israel notified the Red Cross that the residents were 'free to leave'.. they want to 'search for terrorists'.. last time, in Lebanon, 2,000 refugees died.. see: Butcher of Beirut (link2) (link3).. they are going from one house to another searching, demolishing homes.. 150 reported injuries.. Dennis: yesterday a woman blew herself up.. Nor: they should be changing the name of checkpoints to 'deathpoints'.. a number of people have been killed.. a number of pregnant women have been shot.. only the second female to do this kind of attack.. should signal to the whole world.. women tired of seeing their sisters and mothers shot at.. tired of seeing pregnant women shot at.. saying 'we are going to be active in this resistance'.. all violence is abhorent.. but points to the growing feeling of helplessness..

-16:00 Dennis: Enron: Anatomy of a CoverUp.. now w Catherine Austin Fitts.. she started out as a staunch Republican.. served in the first Bush administration.. a former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).. CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS: A MILLIONAIRE REPUBLICAN TURNED WHISTLEBLOWER.. Dennis: one of a kind.. Catherine: I describe myself as the cleaning lady of $100 billion dollar thefts.. for cleaning up the the S&L mess at HUD.. invited to join the board of the Federal Reserve.. but I started my own investment bank.. Dennis: 7 Steps?.. Catherine: and two principles: assert control of data, and use that control to assert control of the cash.. what we are dealing with here is major criminal activity, including obstruction of justice.. a self-proclaimed criminal enterprise.. in a situation you assert control of both the records and the cash.. the 7 Steps: 1) get control of all the documents, of Enron and all subsidiaries.. not done, 2) you never allow the transfer of assets before you get the documents.. not done, assets transfered, the big prize being Enron Online (link2) to a Swiss bank.. permitted the gold bullion division trasferred, both in the midst of a bankruptcy filling. Unheard of.. 3) don't permit the bankruptcy filing until the documents are secured.. protecting themselves from .. 4) don't permit shredding of documents.. 5) ^^^ 6) assert control of contracts.. not done.. AA and Enron have ongoing contracts with the US.. cash not seized.. contracts not cancelled.. AA and Enron guilty by their own admission of criminal activity.. why would we let companies capable of such.. 7) assert control of all the company cash offshore.. example Noreiga, Osama.. assert control of all capital gains on individuals committing insider trading.. not done.. Dennis: what is Pump and Dump? Catherine do things to make the stock go up.. money laundering is good example of how to pump up a stock.. then sell short and move the laundering elsewhere.. earnings collapse, the stock collapses.. the "short" insider trading makes you another 10 billion or more, day traders, retirement funds as usual eat the tab.. Up, down, up, down, like milking a heifer.. about Pug Winokur and the Harvard connection..
-27:30 Dennis: listen to this clip of a recent Enron hearing Senator Hollins addressing the Texas Univ. Dean of Law, William Powers, who is also on the board of Enron, and made a report.. Senator: you said you didn't take notes.. you shredded the notes?.. Powers: this was the standard way to do internal investigations.. Catherine: we're obviously dealing with a criminal syndicate.. about pure criminal falsification of evidence by the Justice Department.. coverup tactic 22, get a white wash commission.. burns up time and resources.. while everybody is busy and entertained.. they're shredding documents.. transferring money to Swiss banks.. Congress is bellowing around.. deva ju all over again.. very similar to the S&L crisis.. the same Houston guys in both.. Now get this: the government of the Cayman Islands just released this: they say they would be glad to assist in an Enron investigation, but (unbelievably) the US has never even made a request.. about about Herbert Pug Winokur.. like the Sopranos John Gotti guy.. Winokur is chairman of the Enron Finance Committee.. Catherine: in his testimony, he said, one: that the auditors misled him and, two: he was incompetent.. He is also chairman of DynCorp.. DynCorp also employs Arthur Andersen.. Arthur Andersen not fired.. DynCorp a government contractor.. when the missionary plane was shot down.. the lead contractor in the war on drugs in the whole country.. collecting and managing huge amounts of data (data on us).. Winokur has the richest database.. movie: Enemy of the State.. we have outsourced our government.. to criminal corporations.. the DOJ says they are doing investigations.. the SEC, the FBI.. who runs the computers for the DOJ, the FBI, the US attorneys office? A. DynCorp.. Dennis: Pug Winokur the new J Edgar Hoover?.. Catherine: Brilliant, Dennis! If I were a Congressman I would be scared to death to go after Pug Winokur.. these are very dangerous people.. I started tracking all the money stolen out of HUD and moved offshore.. I was looking at Enron initially.. the money stolen through the contractors who control the HUD computers..Lockheed Martin (WIPO case) (lockheedsucks.com) and DynCorp.. Pug Winakur head of DynCorp, AND on the board of Lockheed, AND chairman of the Enron Finance Committee.. about the JP Morgan Chase connection.. one of the major depositors of US government accounts.. you can open a Cayman Island account at JP Morgan.. TRILLIONS of DOLLARS MISSING.. an awful lot of money to launder.. money started missing fall of 97, exactly when the balloon started at Enron..
-34:00 Dennis: quotes from an CorpWatch item on DynCorp.. Catherine: we have reached a point where there is no government.. corporations being financed by the taxpayer, no government oversight.. the entire agency has been hijacked by corporations.. if you have private corporations.. controlling the government data base.. last Friday a press release from the government of the Cayman Islands that they have received no request from any US government investigation
-42:00 Dennis: help strengthen and expand transmitter of Pacifica sister station KPFK, in LA.. when fixed it will be the strongest signal west of the Mississippi.. network founded by people like Lew Hill.. fundraiser.. call 866-842-4848, get the two CD set, Enron: Anatomy of a CoverUp
