The Economic Crisis, the CIA and Rockefeller.
Monte_Carlo_Casino.jpg1. There has been a lot of gambling going on.
Michael Hudson, Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, writing at Global Research, 20 September 2008, explains how the American economy has been hit.
Hudson refers to "accounting fraud, junk mortgage lending, insider dealing and a failure to relate the soaring debt overhead to the ability of debtors to pay - all of this mess seemingly legitimized by computerized trading models, and now blessed by the Treasury." - Financial Bailout: America's Own Kleptocracy
Iraq War
2. Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa, writing at Global Research, 18 September 2008, explains the implications of the crisis (Global Financial Meltdown) .
"The global financial crisis is intimately related to the war.
"A spiraling defense budget backlashes on the civilian sectors of economic activity...
"The powerful financial groups which routinely manipulate stock markets, currency and commodity markets, are also promoting the continuation and escalation of the Middle East war...
Chossudovsky writes: "What prevails is a totally deregulated financial environment characterized by extensive speculative trade.
"The history of deregulation goes back to the beginnings of the Reagan administration...
New York stock exchange
According to Chossudovsky, "What we are dealing with is a major clash between competing financial conglomerates...
"The unregulated use of complex speculative instruments has provided Wall Street with the means to extend its global financial empire...
"In the 1997 Asian crisis alone, more than 100 billion dollars were confiscated in a matter of months from the vaults of Asia's central banks; similar speculative assaults were carried out in Russia in 1998 and in Brazil in 1999...
"The New World Order largely under the dominion of American finance capital was intent on dwarfing rival banking conglomerates in Western Europe and Japan as well as sealing strategic alliances with a 'select club' of German and British banking giants... (Lloyds TSB rather than Bank of Scotland?)
"The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act had created an environment which favored an unprecedented concentration of global financial power. (Provisions that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies were repealed in 1999)
"Effective control over the entire US financial services industry had been transferred to a handful of financial conglomerates...
"Those who have access to privileged information (political, intelligence, military, scientific, etc.) will invariably have the upper hand in the conduct of these highly leveraged speculative transactions, which are the source of tremendous financial gains. The CIA has its own financial institutions on Wall Street...
"Links to US intelligence, to the CIA, Homeland Security, to the Pentagon are crucial in the conduct of speculative trade, since it allows the speculators to predict events, through prior knowledge of foreign policy and/or national security decisions which directly affect financial markets. An example: the put options on airline stocks in the days preceding the 9/11 attacks.
The Rockefeller family has a financial interest in JP Morgan Chase.
Rockefellers (originally Rockenfeller and perhaps Jewish in origin) are involved with the Bilderberg Group and other such institutions.
Chossudovsky writes:
"An internal war within the financial system is unfolding...
"The process of mergers and acquisitions is likely to proceed to new heights leading to an unprecedented centralization of financial power, with Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York playing a dominant role...
"It should be noted that while Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase are competing institutions, they are nonetheless entwined through intermarriage between the Rockefeller and Stillman families...
"The financial meltdown on Wall Street largely benefits Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase, which is part of the Rockefeller empire...
David Rockefeller
According to an article entitled The Rockefeller Family - Secret Jews (Cached):
"It was in 1492 that King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain expelled the Jews from their country and confiscated their ill-gotten wealth. It was during this period that the Rockefeller family moved to the Turkish Empire which welcomed the Jews at that time, believing them to be a 'poor persecuted people.
"The grandfather of... Nelson Rockefeller, admitted that his family once moved from Turkey to France..."

Conspiracy-theory-esque
Is the current economic crisis due to incompetence and greed?
Is the current economic crisis similar to the "Business Plot" of 1933, which was about making America fascist?
In 1933 the plotters, including Prescott Bush, were Wall Street men who supported fascism.
The coup attempt was revealed in 1934, when General Smedley Butler told Congress that a group of wealthy industrialists had tried to ally with high ranking military officers to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"'It seems this time around, the Bush family is trying the more subtle approach to open bloodshed: first create a crisis, then under the guise of addressing that crisis, overthrow democracy. Yes, it does sound terribly conspiracy-theory-esque when explained just this way. But what else does one call a criminal conspiracy to destroy Congressional powers permanently, alter Judicial powers permanently, and steal public funds?'" Alexandrovna writes. - Reporter Warns Staged Financial Crisis Part Of Fascist Coup
A spokesman for the Marriott hotel owner said it had had no plans to host a dinner for government leaders. "We didn't have any reservation for such a dinner that the government official is talking about," Jamil Khawar said. Pakistan's leaders 'had not been due to dine in bomb hotel'

DE MENEZES - They wanted you to think they had killed a terrorist on the tube?
Operation Northwoods was a Pentagon plan to kill innocent civilians in acts of terror.
NATO's Operation Gladio involved acts of false flag terror in Europe.
There has been speculation that all the recent terror incidents in Britain are part of a 'strategy of tension' similar to that which brought terror to Greece, Italy and Turkey in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
If elements of the security services could catch and kill someone on the London Underground and then claim that this person was a Moslem terrorist, this would advance the fascist agenda.
It would support the idea that 9 11, the Bali Bombs, the Madrid Bombs and the London Bombs were the work of Moslem terrorists, rather than the work of the security services, using double agents and patsies.
When agents of the UK government shot dead the innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, the police claimed that they had shot a dangerous terrorist.
It looks as if there were (at least) two groups who were involved in the pursuit of Jean Charles de Menezes:
1. The police
2. A shadowy military group
Senior sources in the Metropolitan Police told The Observer (21 August 2005) that
1. their surveillance officers felt that de Menezes was not about to detonate a bomb,
2. was not armed
3. and was not acting suspiciously.
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,1553440,00.html
A police source said: 'There is no way those three guys would have been on the train carriage with him [de Menezes] if they believed he was carrying a bomb. Nothing he did gave the surveillance team the impression that he was carrying a device.'
It was only when they were joined by 'armed officers' that things changed.
The Sunday Herald, which often has the best sources on security matters, tells us about the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR).
http://www.sundayherald.com/51372 / AN INNOCENT MAN SHOT DEAD ON THE LONDON TUBE BY POLICE . . .SINCE ...
The Sunday Herald, 21 August 2005, tells us about the monitoring of the flat in Scotia Road, Tulse Hill, in south London.
The address was said to be linked to alleged bomber Hussein Osman.( Hussain Osman - arrested in Rome )
Among the surveillance team in Scotia Road was a soldier from a new “special forces” regiment -the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR).
James Cusick, in the Sunday Herald, wrote:
"According to security sources, SRR personnel were involved in the tailing operation that saw de Menezes leave the block of flats, board a bus, and then enter the tube station at Stockwell. SRR personnel are also believed to have been on the tube train when he was shot.
"The SRR soldier at Scotia Road (given the codename Tango 10) used equipment which sent realtime pictures of all who came and went from the flats. Those receiving the pictures could check them against footage of who they were looking for. One security source said: 'In this kind of operation you never leave. You need to pee: you use a bottle; if there’s no bottle, tough. You never leave.'
"The police account says there is no footage of de Menezes leaving because the SRR soldier had to relieve himself. The police account says he sent out a message calling the man who left [de Menezes] an 'ICI' – a white northern European...
"Hussein Osman – arrested in Rome and scheduled for deportation to the UK within the next two months – was not an ICI. The CCTV footage of Osman the police held showed an Asian/north African male.
"De Menezes took a bus to Stockwell tube station, stopping briefly at Brixton...
"It is also understood that the senior police officer in charge of the operation, Commander Cressida Dick, had ordered de Menezes at this stage to be detained before he went into the tube station and that he should be alive...
"So why was de Menezes not stopped before the station?"
Apparently, both members of the police and the mysterious second group were on the train with de Menezes. It would appear that members of the mysterious second group murdered de Menezes.
"A security agency source contacted by the Sunday Herald said: 'This take-out is the signature of a special forces operation. It is not the way the police usually do things.... this has special forces written all over it.'”
The Sunday Herald points out:
"The initial post-mortem report into de Menezes’s death states the young Brazilian had 'vaulted over the ticket barrier'.
"A post-mortem report does not take its information from media reports. The police are contacted directly and written accounts are delivered. Details of the barrier being “vaulted” therefore came from the police. Why?
"And why at 4pm – five hours after the shooting – when the police would have known they had not killed Hussein Osman but a young Brazilian, did Sir Ian hold a press conference and insist that the shooting was 'directly linked' to the anti-terrorist operation?"

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,1553440,00.html
From the Observer, 21 August 2005:
"Questions have been raised about the accuracy of the police intelligence that led to the raid on the block of flats occupied by de Menezes. It was initially suggested that the flat was connected to the man known as Hussein Osman, who was arrested in Italy.
"On the Saturday after the shooting, officers raided the flat in a high-profile operation watched by the world's media. As a result, a man, identified only as 'C', was arrested 'on suspicion of the commission, instigation or preparation of acts of terrorism'. But he was released on 30 July with no charge, raising the possibility that the flats had no connection with the bombings."
Was there a plot to fool the public?
(http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/anthonylarkin.html / http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4706787.stm)
A passenger on the train, Anthony Larkin, told BBC News the man appeared to be wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out".The 'man' was Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot by government agents.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4706913.stm
Commuter Anthony Larkin, who was also on the train at Stockwell station, told 5 Live he saw police chasing a man.
"I saw these police officers in uniform and out of uniform shouting 'get down, get down', and I saw this guy who appeared to have a bomb belt and wires coming out and people were panicking and I heard two shots being fired."
Is the Anthony Larkin named above the same as the one named below?

Did elements of the security services hope to fool the public into thinking that the person who was shot was one of the 'bombers' such as Hussain Osman - arrested in Rome .
Hussein Osman, who also uses the name Hamdi Isaac, moved to Rome by Eurostar five days after the 21 July attacks in London. His passport was not checked by the British at Waterloo.

Operation Gladio and the 'strategy of tension' in Italy beginning in 1969.
Operation Gladio was organised by 'fascists' within the security services of the West.
Reportedly, the idea was to kill innocent people and then blame this on others.
Gladio was about keeping the right-wing elite in power.
Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra stated, in sworn testimony:
'You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force ... the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security.'
Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti revealed the existence of Gladio in 1991.
Parliamentary investigations in Italy, Switzerland and Belgium have given us a little of the truth.
The book "NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe," by Daniele Ganser documents some of what we know so far.
Run by fascist elements in NATO and Washington, right-wing militias carried out acts of terrorism and electoral subversion in states such as Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey and West Germany.
Gladio was the name used in Italy. In Austria the name was Schwert, Belgium -Sdra 8, Britain - Stay Behind, France - Glaive, Greece -Operation Sheepskin, Holland, Sweden -Sveaborg, Switzerland -P26 and Turkey -Special War Department. [Source: "Operation Gladio." users.westnet.gr/~cgian/gladio.htm]
A Pentagon document, Field Manual FM 30-31B, details the methods for launching terrorist attacks.85 people were killed on August 2, 1980 in the bombing of the Bologna train station.
According to the Italian Senate, after its investigation in 2000, the bombers were later discovered to be "men inside Italian state institutions and ... men linked to the structures of United States intelligence."
The Bologna bomb was part of Gladio's " strategy of tension" - fomenting fear to keep populations in thrall to "strong leaders" who will protect the nation from the ever-present terrorist threat.
The beginning of the 'strategy of tension' in Italy came in Dec. 12, 1969 when a bomb exploded inside the Banca Nazionale dell' Agricoltura in Milan's Piazza Fontana. 16 people were killed and 58 wounded.

Pakistan government and CIA behind Marriott blast?
There were GOVERNMENT number plates on the the explosives-laden truck which hit the Marriott hotel in Islamabad. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)
The Pakistan government appears to be spreading disinformation about the Marriott bombing.
On 22 September 2008, the BBC reported that:
1. a Pakistan government spokesman claimed that the prime minister and other top people were planning to have dinner at the Marriott at the time the bomb went off, but cancelled the booking at the last moment.
2. The Marriott Hotel's owner says this is not true and that there was no booking.
Did the Pakistan government work with the CIA and its friends to carry out the bombing, so as to support the case for Pakistan government cooperation with the Pentagon?
Malik
The most powerful man in Pakistan appears to be a friend of Mossad and the American government.
Rehman Malik is the effective Interior Minister of Pakistan.
ISI is the Pakistan spy agency.
Pakistan Daily writes of 'the bizarre, abortive handover of the ISI to Rehman Malik'. (You Can’t Be On The Wrong Side Of Pakistan Mr Asif Ali Zardari)
Benazir Bhutto appointed Rehman Malik as chief of Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)
According to the article on Rehman Malik at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :
1. The Pakistani military was dismayed by reports of FIA contacts with the Israeli secret service, the Mossad, which had been cooperating with Indian secret service RAW.
2. One of the first acts of President Farooq Leghari after dismissing Benazir Bhutto on 5 November 1996 was to imprison Rehman Malik, the Additional Director General FIA.
3. Rehman Malik was the person responsible for security of Benazir Bhutto. After the assassination of Benazir Bhutto there were many accusation against Rehman Malik for lax security. (A Fishy Character - Rehman Malik Pakistan Politics / Rehman “Double Agent” Malik–>Emergency mailing list ... )
According to the Pakistani Spectator, 11 May 2008, (Rehman Malik Runs Zardari and PPP The Pakistani Spectator):
"Rehman Malik ... helped Zardari a lot to launder ... looted money and invest and secure it at different places in the world... He does what he is told to do by the masters in Washington."
In The Pakistan Spectator, 21 September 2008, Ali Yar Khan asks What Was Going on in the Marriott Hotel?
He makes the following points:
1. After the blast, a mysterious fire started on the fourth and fifth floors. It was said that this fire was the result of a gas pipeline burst.
2. Allegedly, the fifth and fourth floors of the hotel were housing mysterious steel boxes under the guard of United States marines. Allegedly, these boxes were moved into the hotel when Admiral Mike Mullen met Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and others in Islamabad.
The boxes may have contained explosives? Sounds like 9 11.
In 2003, a bomb hit the Marriott hotel in Jakarta. A number of poor Moslems were killed.
"Something interesting happened just hours before the explosion shocked the JW Marriott Hotel, Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. The US Embassy cancelled the booking of 10-20 rooms in that hotel." -Prison Planet.com: Do You Have the Knowledge to Escape?
On 20 September 2008, at least 60 people were killed, and scores seriously injured, when, reportedly, the explosives laden truck was used against the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan. (Car bomb attack in Islamabad leaves at least 60 people dead)
It was reported that several senior officers of the CIA were in Islamabad, on a visit, at the time of the explosion. (Islamabad blast)
According to Dawn, 21 September 2008, "Well-equipped security officers from the US embassy were seen on the spot soon after the explosions. However, they left the scene shortly afterwards." (Terror tears through capital)
Muhammad Azam, a Marriott security personal, told The Post that he was standing across the road when a big brown truck appeared. "I saw him (the truck driver) getting out of the truck, taking position and firing two rockets at the hotel." (Front & Back Page News Updates)
The explosion created a crater at least 25 ft deep and 30 ft wide, and totally destroyed the road in front of the building. (1000 kg explosives used in Pak blast) .
The aim of the blasts seems to have been to kill ordinary Pakistanis, so as to make Pakistanis and World Opinion sympathetic to America's war on terror.
The bombers may not have intended to destroy the hotel. But, reportedly, gas lines running to the hotel’s kitchen exploded and started a fire that damaged about two thirds of the hotel. Police sources said the dead include three South Koreans, two Saudis and at least one American. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)
Acording to Jason Burke at The Guardian, 20 September 2008, (Islamabad blast is a victory for no one):
"The attack at 8pm would have come just as hundreds were sitting or standing in the hotel's many function rooms for the communal iftar dinner – the breaking of the Ramadan month's fast.
"Almost all of those killed will be local Pakistanis...
"Strikes on such targets – such as in Amman, Jordan, in 2005 – drastically undercuts support for militants."
Some officials said the intended destination of the truck with the bomb might have been the prime minister’s house. The Marriott is one kilometer distant from Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s house where President Asif Ali Zardari, army chief General Ashfar Parvez Kayani and over 300 MPs were at an Iftar dinner. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)
However, Kiyani has been trained in the USA. And Zardari is reportedly a friend of the neocons.
One report suggests that the American neocons toppled Mussharraf and put Zardari into power.
In the Guardian, 7 September 2008, Tariq Ali wrote that "a hardcore neocon faction led by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador to the Security Council, was busy advising Asif Zardari in secret and helping him plan the campaign to oust the general (Musharraf)."

Darien and Scottish power
Scottish and Newcastle
Some suspect there is a conspiracy to undermine the Scottish economy and prevent Scotland from becoming independent.
1. Scotland has enormous oil wealth and it pays its own way.
The London government and the London media have repeatedly lied about this.
aangirfan: Scotland pays its own way / aangirfan: SCOTTISH OIL RESERVES EXCEED ESTIMATES
2. In 2003, the Herald newspaper, based in Scotland, was taken over by the American company Gannett (Newsquest).
Since then the editorial staff has been cut from 186 to 113.
In July 2008, the editor of the Herald newspaper, left his job.
Today's Herald is full of anti-Scottish and pro-American propaganda.
The media can block out the truth
3. In 2001, Scottish Provident was taken over by the English Abbey National.
4. In 2007, Scottish Power was taken over by Spanish company Iberdrola
5. In 2007, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries was taken over by Carlsberg.
6. In 2008, it was announced that Halifax - Bank of Scotland was to be taken over by the English Lloyds TSB.
Scottish Colony One of the biggest setbacks for the Scottish economy came just before Scotland lost its independence in 1707.
Scotland's Darien Scheme involved the setting up of a Scottish colony on the Isthmus of Panama in the hope of trading with both the East and the West. (the same principle later led to the building of the Panama Canal.)
The English Government did everything it could to make the scheme fail.
English investors withdrew their money.
English ships were forbidden to help the colonists.

Superpoll predicts “major” SNP gains
A YouGov published in the Observer, 22 September 2008, projects the following gains for the SNP in the 19 seats they surveyed:
Stirling - SNP GAIN
Argyll and Bute - SNP GAIN
Aberdeen North - SNP GAIN
Aberdeen South - SNP GAIN
Dunfermline and West Fife - SNP GAIN
Edinburgh North and Leith - SNP GAIN
Dundee West - SNP GAIN
Kilmarnock & Loudoun - SNP GAIN
Ochil and South Perthshire - SNP GAIN
The analysis showed a 14.5% swing to the SNP and predicted the party would “make major gains across Scotland”. Of the 19 seats the poll surveyed the SNP would win 13 – a huge 68% of the total seats surveyed.
"If the same swing was repeated beyond the marginals polled the SNP would also gain Glenrothes, Midlothian, Linlithgow and Falkirk East, Lanark and Hamilton East, Paisley and Renfrewshire North, Edinburgh East, Ayrshire North and Arran and East Lothian. High profile defeats would include Des Browne, with Alistair Darling hanging on only narrowly."

The invasion of Pakistan
Vietnam was invaded by the USA after the USA sent in military advisers.Pakistan is under attack from the USA, just as Vietnam was once attacked.
Peter Chamberlin, 21 September 2008, tells us that the CIA HAS BEEN TICKLING PEOPLE TO DEATH FOR YEARS ...
Chamberlin writes that CIA director Michael Hayden has declared the CIA is using Predator missile attacks to 'tickle' enemy groups, to provoke a reaction.
Hayden said: 'We use military operations to excite the enemy, prompting him to respond.'
Hayden was referring to the policy of 'committing multiple mass-murders of innocent citizens of Pakistan, as a tactic for provoking retaliation by their relatives'.
U.S. military advisors may soon head to Pakistan - according to the Los Angeles Times
U.S. military advisors are to go to Pakistan in a matter of weeks, according to the top U.S. military officer, Joint Chiefs Chairman Michael Mullen.
Pakistan had previously resisted the 'invasion' of Pakistan by US military advisors.
Military advisors were sent to Vietnam beginning in 1950. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s and combat units were deployed beginning in 1965.
In 2003, a bomb hit the Marriott hotel in Jakarta. A number of poor Moslems were killed.

According to The Mail on Sunday, 21 September 2008, speculators made a £190million profit from HBOS shares in the two minutes of trading immediately before news of HBOS's rescue was made public by Robert Peston.
Before Peston's 9am broadcast, HBOS shares had dipped to a low of 88p.
In the hour after Peston's broadcast, the price rose to 215p, giving the speculators huge instant profits.
In two deals between 8.57pm and 8.58pm, buyers bought more than 20million HBOS shares at 96p.
There is a suspicion of a leak of information to the speculators.
Keith Skeoch, chief executive of Standard Life Investments, said: 'Someone was in possession of information and that information was leaked which caused a movement in HBOS's share price."
There is speculation over who leaked the news of Lloyds TSB's takeover bid to Mr Peston.
Was a certain group plotting the downfall of Bank of Scotland (HBOS)?

THE CIA AND THE MARRIOTT BOMB IN ISLAMABAD
In 2003, a bomb hit the Marriott hotel in Jakarta. A number of poor Moslems were killed.
"Something interesting happened just hours before the explosion shocked the JW Marriott Hotel, Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta. The US Embassy cancelled the booking of 10-20 rooms in that hotel." -Prison Planet.com: Do You Have the Knowledge to Escape?
On 20 September 2008, at least 60 people were killed, and scores seriously injured, when, reportedly, an explosives laden truck was used against the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan. (Car bomb attack in Islamabad leaves at least 60 people dead)
It was reported that several senior officers of the CIA were in Islamabad, on a visit, at the time of the explosion. (Islamabad blast)
According to Dawn, 21 September 2008, "Well-equipped security officers from the US embassy were seen on the spot soon after the explosions. However, they left the scene shortly afterwards." (Terror tears through capital)
Muhammad Azam, a Marriott security personal, told The Post that he was standing across the road when a big brown truck appeared. "I saw him (the truck driver) getting out of the truck, taking position and firing two rockets at the hotel." (Front & Back Page News Updates)
The explosion created a crater 25 ft deep and 30 ft wide, totally destroyed the road in front of the building. (1000 kg explosives used in Pak blast) .
The aim of the blasts seems to have been to kill ordinary Pakistanis, so as to make Pakistanis and World Opinion sympathetic to America's war on terror.
The bombers may not have intended to destroy the hotel. But, Gas lines running to the hotel’s kitchen exploded and started a fire that damaged about two thirds of the hotel. Police sources said the dead include three South Koreans, two Saudis and at least one American. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)
Acording to Jason Burke at The Guardian, 20 September 2008, (Islamabad blast is a victory for no one):
"The attack at 8pm would have come just as hundreds were sitting or standing in the hotel's many function rooms for the communal iftar dinner – the breaking of the Ramadan month's fast.
"Almost all of those killed will be local Pakistanis...
"Strikes on such targets – such as in Amman, Jordan, in 2005 – drastically undercuts support for militants."
Some officials said the intended destination of the truck with the bomb might have been the prime minister’s house. The Marriott is one kilometer distant from Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s house where President Asif Ali Zardari, army chief General Ashfar Parvez Kayani and over 300 MPs were at an Iftar dinner. (62 die as suicide bomber strikes Pakistani luxury hotel (Roundup)
However, Kiyani has been trained in the USA. And Zardari is reportedly a friend of the neocons.
One report suggests that the American neocons toppled Mussharraf and put Zardari into power.
In the Guardian, 7 September 2008, Tariq Ali wrote that "a hardcore neocon faction led by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador to the Security Council, was busy advising Asif Zardari in secret and helping him plan the campaign to oust the general (Musharraf)."

THE HBOS CONSPIRACY
The Scotsman newspaper, 20 September 2008, tells us of
HBOS: The questions just keep piling up
1. A leading City figure, Keith Skeoch, the chief executive of Standard Life Investments, has suggested there has been an abuse of the stock market market rules in the case of HBOS.
Keith Skeoch said there had been a delay before the talks were formally announced.
Stock market rules insist that companies in advanced talks should make a formal announcement to the stock exchange, with trading in their shares being suspended.
If news of the talks been announced earlier, HBOS shares would not have crashed.
And, if HBOS had survive until Thursday night, when news of the United States government's plan to buy toxic debt was announced, the bank could still be independent.
Mr Skeoch in a BBC Radio 4 interview said: "I think we should be asking ourselves who was in the possession of that information and why it wasn't released to the market and why it was made available to the market via the BBC."
2. A source at the Bank of England has said that the Bank of England had sufficient funds to help HBOS stay independent.
The source suggested the deal was a "purely commercial decision" and nothing to do with HBOS's survival.
The Gordon Brown government waived competition rules only because it claimed this was about HBOS's survival.
3. Archie Kane, the chief executive of Scottish Widows (owned by Lloyds TSB) said "This deal was done for commercial reasons. We would not have got into the situation otherwise. We operate on behalf of our shareholders, we do the best thing for our key stakeholders."
4. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) failing to stop the practice of short-selling in time to save HBOS. Why?
5. The SNP MSP Alex Neil, a former economic consultant, is demanding an inquiry into the alleged abuse of the market.
He said: "It appears that there has been a serious breach of stock market rules, which must be investigated...
"If what appears to be coming out of the Bank of England is true, and this was a purely commercial decision, then we have to ask why HBOS is being sold. If it is true it needed to be rescued, then both the Bank of England and FSA failed HBOS."
6. The UK Shareholders Association (UKSA) has said that HBOS appeared to be profitable.
It said that if indeed it was a "good deal" for HBOS shareholders to sell the bank at about the current market price, the directors had a lot of explaining to do.
There are doubts whether HBOS shareholders will back the merger.
A spokesman for the UKSA, said: "Only if HBOS shareholders receive an adequate explanation that convinces them that a sale of the bank was essential should they approve the takeover by voting for it."
Gordon Brown whose leadership bid was "bankrolled" by Sir Ronald Cohen
According to The Telegraph, (Hedge funds clipped by short-selling ban) in March 2008, city traders were sent an anonymous email which said:
"We're hearing that tomorrow's Financial Times will write a piece about HBOS. It won't be pretty, likely to focus on £128billion of non-customer liabilities that must be rolled in the next three months. This will raise the spectre of a run on the bank."
The information was false.
But £3 billion was wiped off the value of HBOS shares.
Labour prime minister Harold Wilson, whose friends included Montague Meyer, Joe Kagan and Rudy Sternberg.
Gordon Brown and the London and Washington establishments do not want Scotland to become a successful independent country.
Has there been an Establishment plot to destroy HBOS and thus weaken Scotland?
The Bank of Scotland began in 1695 and later became known as HBOS.
On 18 September 2008, it was announced HBOS is to be 'taken over' by an English bank, Lloyds TSB.
On 17 september 2008, the Financial Services Authority declared that HBOS was still "a well-capitalised bank that continues to fund its business in a satisfactory way." (HBOS: The questions that must be answered)
Six weeks before this, Lloyds TSB had contacted HBOS about doing a deal. (Lloyds takes over HBOS in $21.7 billion deal with British PM )
Certain hedge funds got to work short-selling HBOS.
Robert Maxwell, another Jewish Labour Party figure who did some strange deals.
Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners is said to have made £280 million by gambling that HBOS's share price would go down. (Hedge funds clipped by short-selling ban)
The Scotsman newspaper, 19 September 2008, asks the following:
1. Why was action not taken earlier to prevent short sellers hijacking a sound financial institution?
2. Why was the Financial Services Authority so ineffectual as the crisis unfolded?
The Scotsman points out that the Bank of England could have offered financial assistance while weaker parts of the business were sold off.

In 1992, the UK had the crisis of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
The Bank of England was forced to abandon efforts to stabilize the pound sterling.
A certain Jewish gentleman claimed that he had personally made over $1 billion in speculation against the British pound.

In 1997, some people suspected there was a plot against Indonesia.
"Indonesia's banking sector was devastated by the crisis that began in October 1997.
"Of the largest banks - the seven original state banks and the ten largest formerly private banks - none managed to remain solvent...
"65 were closed, 9 merged, and 4 nationalized." - (Banking Collapse and Restructuring in Indonesia, 1997-2001)
Up to 1997, the fundamentals of the Indonesian economy looked sound.
But, the Asian economies had been urged by the West to liberalise and deregulate markets and allow in lots of European and Japanese money.
Huge sums of money did flow in.
Then speculators shouted ‘fire’.
And the money flowed out."
There was a suspicion that the money-men in New York and London were taking advantage of events and that a lot of banks and businesses in South East Asia would end up in American and British hands

Is there a plot against Scotland?
Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, has attacked the "spivs and speculators" who have targeted Scottish-based bank HBOS. (Salmond attacks financial 'spivs')
Salmond told BBC Scotland that HBOS was soundly based.
He said that financial regulators should have acted to prevent the speculative attack.
HBOS is to merge with Lloyds TSB after its share price plummeted.
A union has warned the merger could be "catastrophic" for the 17,000 HBOS staff based in Scotland
Salmond said the financial regulators the Financial Services Authority left HBOS vulnerable to speculative attack by failing to act.
He said HBOS was properly funded and had a good capital ratio.
"I am very angry that we can have a situation where a bank can be forced into a merger by basically a bunch of short-selling spivs and speculators in the financial markets," he said.
"We should not have situations where well capitalised, properly funded financial institutions are subject to incredible speculative attack, and that drives them into decision making which they otherwise might not have done.
"You have got to put the hems on that sort of activity, otherwise we will have a succession of companies going through the same process. All financial regulators have got to wake up to where we are at the present moment."
Reportedly, Tom McKillop, Chairman, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, attended the 2008 Bilderberg meeting. (Cached)
What decisions might have been taken there about weakening Scotland and its SNP government?
Scotland will lose a major plc head office and lots of high street branches.
"Already Edinburgh, its business community, its band of lawyers, accountants and advisors will have been left reeling by the enormity of this week's events", writes Reid.
Reid mentions market murmurs of a possible HSBC/ Royal Bank of Scotland tie-up.
Reid comments: "the last person to leave Edinburgh: please turn off the light."
