NOTES OF MEETINGS/CONVERSATIONS ON INSLAW & FOSTERGATE (10/21/95)
=================================================================
By "Mr. Mercedes" (Pseudonym)
-----------------------------
When James Norman wrote the Forbes 1/31/95 cover story, "Oil,
Guns & Greed" where he had worked for five years and was a Senior
Editor at a $100,000 year salary. The focus of this cover story
was Carlos Cardoen, a Chilean arms merchant who sold hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of cluster bombs and other weapons to
Iraq, while using Chase Manhattan Bank to finance his operation
through "set up" oil trades and with the full cooperation and
knowledge of DCI [Director of Central Intelligence] Bill Gates.
He probably had no idea where it would lead and that 6 months
later he would be abruptly fired on 8/16 and less than a week
after I told him in person that he should expect to be fired
quite soon because of what he had written outside of Forbes and
because of what he was continuing to investigate.
The Cardoen story led Norman to Harry Wechsler, Pres. of Boston
Systematics and, purportedly, a former CIA and/or Mossad agent
who has also been selling Inslaw's bootlegged and bugged enhanced
PROMIS software around the world. Wechsler was also a key person
involved in pulling off the October Surprise for the Israelis,
according to Lt. Commander Alexander Martin (Ret.), who was
involved in many 1980s covert ops as an aide to General Richard
Secord (Ret.), and is now assisting with the investigations of
the House Whitewater Committee. Wechsler's daughter, Dana, has
been a senior editor at Forbes for 6-7 years, a CIA contract
employee, and both have been sources for James Norman. The big
question is, did they feed Norman disinformation to direct him
away from Wechsler's key role in the illegal sale of PROMIS from
his subsidiary company, Israeli Systematics.
This article led Norman into [investigating] government software
theft and espionage, covert activities of computerized money
laundering and drugs and arms dealing, interweaving a cast of
characters, government agencies and companies which include:
Inslaw, the CIA, NSA, Mossad, Vince Foster, Webster Hubbell,
Robert Maxwell, Arkansas billionaire Jackson Stephens,
Systematics (Jackson Stephens-owned company and now merged into
Alltel with Stephen's 8 percent interest), numerous secret Swiss
bank accounts, which lead right up to and included Bill and
Hillary Clinton, and former Presidents Reagan and Bush, all sown
together with a thread called PROMIS (Prosecutor's Management
Information Systems) software.
The intent of this report is to present evidence and leads,
without pre-conceived notions or hidden agendas, which should be
objectively investigated and reported by unbiased journalists in
order to honestly verify or refute the information of James
Norman and others. This document doesn't presume to be the final
word, but it is an attempt to lay out possible evidence and
people within the Clinton administration, Park Police, Department
of Justice, [which] Kenneth Starr's investigations and the Senate
and House Whitewater/Foster hearings should be investigating.
One of the most invisible and invincible central figures in this
cast is Jackson Stephens. He has been a major contributor to
Bush, loaned the Clinton Election Committee a critical $2 million
from his family's Worthen Bank (Stephens recently had it
purchased by the larger Boatsman Bank of St. Louis, thus ending a
Federal Reserve investigation), and is now, of all things, the
Finance Chairman for Bob Dole. Stephens is an investor in or
owner of numerous companies such as Beverly Enterprises (a major
national nursing home chain and one of Earl Brian's numerous
companies; Earl Brian, another central figure, will be described
later), and two Arkansas newspapers, the Northwest Arkansas Times
and the Morning News of Northwest Arkansas. He was also the
original front man for BCCI in the late 1970s when he tried to
get them (M. Potts, N. Kochan & R. Whittington, "Dirty Money:
The Inside Story of BCCI" and John Beaty "Outlaw Bank: BCCI")
into the U.S. through the purchase of First American (Wall Street
Journal article, 8/7/95, "Who is Dan Lasater," Wall Street
Journal 2-page profile article, ?/?/93, and Monetary & Economic
Review 6/92 article, "Clinton Selected to be Next President"),
prior to Clark Clifford and Roger Altman getting involved through
First American Bank.
Despite Mike Wallace's "60 Minutes" 10/18 shoddy and slanted
hatch-job report on journalist Christopher Ruddy and Lisa
Foster's New Yorker 9/11/95 "conspiracy rebuttal" article, a big
mystery still remains as to whether or not all or some of these
elements and inter-related people came together to cause the
death of Vince Foster. As Chicago investigative reporter Sherman
Skolnick states, Lisa Foster's "cover-up" story should be
seriously questioned. In his 9/11/95 "The Money Trail" release,
Skolnick reports that Lisa Foster received $285,000 just 4 days
prior to Vince Foster's death from bank heir Richard Mellon
Scaife, who passed it through Sheila Foster Anthony (Vince
Foster's sister and former Congressman Beryl Anthony's wife).
Furthermore, it just so happens that Sheila Foster Anthony is in
a very important Department of Justice section which is involved
in appointments of Federal Judges, U.S. Attorneys, and U.S.
Marshalls. Also, Richard Mellon Scaife is facing possible
prosecution on alleged federal banking regulations violations
(Sarah McClendon's Washington Report, 9/5/95).
Additionally, when Lisa Foster was questioned by the FBI on
5/1/94, she raised doubts about Vince Foster's so-called "suicide
note." She stated that Vince Foster had written it on or about
7/11/93 and they were his talking points for a scheduled meeting
on 7/22/93 with the President and an upcoming Congressional
hearing, neither of which Vince Foster kept since he was already
conveniently dead on 7/20. Additionally that so-called last
"relaxation weekend" at major Clinton and Democratic fundraiser
Nathan Landau's shore estate with Webster Hubbell and others was
a "damage control" session, bugged by the CIA, for the impending
scandal described below in which Vince Foster was under
investigation for espionage.
Besides all the forensic and crime scene discrepancies and the
apparent "cover-up" by the White House personnel's inappropriate
actions after Foster's death, there was a significant discrepancy
with the gun Vince Foster supposedly shot himself with and the
"silver colored gun" which Lisa Foster also told the FBI that
Vince had brought with him from Arkansas. (Mike Blair's "Foster
Gun, Note Questions" Spotlight 8/21/95). If Vince Foster was
shot with the "silver colored gun" which was found in the park
near his body, why did Lisa Foster find another gun in its place
on the very night after his death? And finally, in addition to
all the other mysterious evidence found on or around his body,
why did ballistics and forensics experts find that Vince Foster
was shot by a turn-of-the-century Colt .38 caliber Army revolver?
James Norman completed his Vince Foster story for Forbes in April
of 1995 and it was ready for publication in the May issue, after
being thoroughly checked and edited, but [it] was pulled after
receiving an April 25 letter from the White House Press
Secretary, Michael McCurry. Norman was then given permission to
have his article published by another magazine (Media Bypass
Magazine, 8/95, "Fostergate") if he withheld his Forbes
affiliation. He has just come out with a followup article,
"Fostergate II" in the 10/95 [Media Bypass] issue. Norman claims
he was fired for continuing to investigate the Vince Foster
story, which led back to Forbes' Chairman Emeritus and former
Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger. Forbes' media relations
person, Ray Healy, claimed that "James Norman resigned and that
he was a good journalist and they would miss him," but because of
their editorial policy he would not comment on anything written
outside of Forbes.
In the process of investigating the Vince Foster story, Norman
came into contact with Charles "Chuck" Hayes, purportedly a
former CIA agent with S1 clearance (highest level) with a
codename of "Running Fox." In my interview with him, he claims
to have been involved in the CIA's Cuba covert ops to run weapons
into Castro to overthrow Pres. Batista. Hayes stated that he
knew George Bush as the CIA's paymaster as far back as 1958, all
of which he [Bush] denies (see [J. Edgar] Hoover 1963 letter
which refers to Bush of CIA). On one occasion, he [Hayes] claims
to have put a gun into Bush's mouth in order to get him to pay
up. [CN: Bush reportedly leaked in his pants at that point.]
While serving in Vietnam in covert ops, Hayes disobeyed orders
and flew his jet fighter into Hanoi and took out a SAM missile
storage depot. On a Mena, Arkansas arms flight to the Contras,
he discovered coke [cocaine] stored in the belly of his plane and
dumped it on the awaiting covert team at the airport while
avoiding being shot down by them.
