Excerpt:
In 1983, the then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York urged jail time for Rich and his partner Pincus Green for racketeering. The name of that U.S. Attorney is Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani, who is now running for president, praised Bush's decision to commute Libby's jail sentence. After Clinton 's pardon of Rich, Giuliani said he was "shocked." Paul Klebnikov, the Moscow editor for Forbes' Russian edition, wrote about the connections of Rich to Russian gangsters like Boris Berezovsky, a business partner of Neil Bush, in his book "Godfather of the Kremlin." Klebnikov was shot to death gangland-style on a Moscow street on July 9, 2004.

BUSH FAMILY FINANCED BY FOREIGN $$$
Israeli Oligarch’s Ill-Gotten Loot Channeled to Dubya’s Brother
By Christopher Bollyn
During a Sept. 22 visit to Latvia, Neil Bush, the brother of President George W. Bush, appeared with his business partner, the fugitive Russian oligarch and Israeli citizen, Boris Berezovsky. Berezovsky’s appearance in Riga with the brother of the U.S. president caused significant consternation for the Latvian government due to Russian demands for his extradition on charges of fraud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Bush#Philanthropist_and_Charity_Involvement
Excerpt:
To fund Ignite!, Bush raised $23 million from U.S. investors, including his parents, as well as businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, Kuwait, the British Virgin Islands and the United Arab Emirates, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Documented investors include Russian billionaire expatriate Boris Berezovsky, Berezovsky's partner Badri Patarkatsishvili, Kuwaiti company head Mohammed Al Saddah, and Chinese computer executive Winston Wong.
In 2002, Neil Bush commended his brother, George, for his efforts on education as President, but he questioned the emphasis on constant testing to keep federal aid coming to public schools: “I share the concerns of many that if our system is driven around assessments, pencil-and-paper tests that test a kid's ability to memorize stuff, I would say that reliance threatens to institutionalize bad teaching practices.”[7]
As of October 2006, over 13 U.S. school districts (out of over 14,000 school districts nation-wide[8]) have used federal funds made available through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 in order to buy Ignite's products at $3,800 apiece.[9]
A December 2003 Style section article in the Washington Post reported that Bush's salary from Ignite! was $180,000 per year.[4]
Bush's relationship with the controversial oligarch Boris Berezovsky, a political enemy of Russian President Vladimir Putin currently under indictment for fraud in Russia and an applicant for asylum in the United Kingdom,[10] has been noted in the media. Berezovsky has been an investor in Bush's Ignite! program since at least 2003.[11] Bush met with Berezovsky in Latvia. The meeting caused tension between that country and Russia due to Berezovsky's fugitive status.[11] Bush has also been seen in Berezovsky's box at an Arsenal's Emirates stadium for a game,[12] which prompted some stateside criticism.[13] There has also been speculation in the English language Moscow Times that the relationship may cause tension in U.S.-Russian bilateral relations, "especially since Putin has taken pains to build a personal relationship with the U.S. president."[14]

the Legend says that in December, 2007, just on the eve of Catholic Rozhdestva Patarkatsishvili has put before Anisimov two questions an edge:
1. Where money?
2. Where the promised returning to Russia?
and Badri has received very convincing answer. In February, 2008 he suddenly also has unexpectedly died in the house in London. Ostensibly from sharp warm insufficiency. Already then dense hearings went that the businessman has been killed – poisoned by the special poison causing a paralysis of a cardiac muscle. These hearings have not vanished till now.

Succinylcholine, A Perfect Poison, Makes Appearance in the Dubai Killing
by on Mar 8, 2010 • 12:00 am2 Comments
According to Dubai authorities, and as reported by ABC News, Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was given a shot of succinylcholine prior to other grossly things done to his body on the fateful (for him) day of January 19, 2010. And since your humble correspondent is an anesthesiologist by day, and by call at night, let me tell you why succinylcholine is such a perfect murder weapon.
The best poisons usually have three things in common: small effective dose, also called Median Lethal Dose (or LD50), ease of administration, and rapid and definitive action. The fourth characteristic, the difficulty in detection by a forensics team is a big premium that most poisons don’t posses. Most poisons, that is, except succinylcholine and maybe a few others.
So let’s review some science, shall we? Succinylcholine is a muscle relaxant. Anesthesiologists call it “sux”. Sux is commonly used before intubations, as it completely relaxes patients. Sux is a rapidly acting depolarizer that can be given intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). Once administered, succinylcholine circulates in the blood, reaches nicotinic receptors on the surface of muscle cells, and there it imitates the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that our nerves naturally release to make our muscles move. When succinylcholine is given, seconds later the patient fasciculates, and all muscles in his body become depolarized. In essence, sux makes every muscle twitch to the point that it becomes unresponsive to any subsequent stimulation: you can’t breathe, you can’t even blink.Sux is highly effective. In IV form, 100 mg of sux will depolarize every muscle in the body of a 70kg man in about 20 seconds. And the patient will not be able to take another breath for at least 5 minutes. So without assisted ventilation, he is toast. The IM dose of sux is not much different, but takes a little longer to set in.
So there you have it: succinylcholine is an easy to inject poison, it is highly effective, and is guaranteed-to-work quick.
The fourth characteristic of succinylcholine is good news for assassins: sux is almost impossible to detect because its metabolites are all naturally occurring molecules. here’s how it works. Most molecules of succinylcholine break down in blood into succinylmonocholine and choline, thanks to a circulating enzyme called pseudocholinesterase. The process is so efficient that only a small fraction of sux molecules that were given actually reach neuromuscular junctions in the first place. Succinylmonocholine is subsequently hydrolyzed into succinic acid, or succinate, a naturally occurring substance well known to anyone who studied biochemistry. The reason succinate is so famous is because it is an important player in TCA (Krebs) cycle, a series of chemical reactions that powers all living cells that use oxygen.
Coming back to Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, he either had an abnormal genetic variant of pseudocholinesterase, which is not uncommon, so some of the sux was not metabolized, or Dubai authorities had access to a highly sensitive succinylmonocholine essay. Or someone, we think, is just bluffing in the Middle East. No surprises there.
Thanks for reading, and here’s a great spy movie, courtesy of Dubai authorities:

Excerpt: However, theories of a possible assassination were considered seriously by some. "[A] number of compounds known to be used by the former KGB can induce heart failure, but leave virtually no trace. One is sodium fluoroacetate, a fine white powder derived from pesticide."[34] The British police checked Patarkatishvili's Surrey mansion for radioactive elements but reportedly found none.[35]
[edit] British press coverage
London Lite was first newspaper to inform the British public of the Georgian oligarch's death on the evening of 13 February 2008. In the news of 14 February 2008, Patarkatsishvili's death was covered in The Guardian, The Times, Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, etc. Most newspapers discussed Patarkatsishvili's business history, including his close ties with Boris Berezovsky, Roman Abramovich, Alexander Litvinenko, Mikheil Saakashvili and Vladimir Putin.[36][37][edit] International press coverage
Reuters reported that Patarkatsishvili feared the Georgian authorities were plotting to kill him, a source close to the late businessman said on the day of death."[38]Associated Press reported that on December 26, 2007, Patarkatsishvili said that he had obtained a tape recording of an official in his homeland's Interior Ministry asking a Chechen warlord to murder the tycoon in London. "I believe they want to kill me," he said. He said the tape had been given to police.[39]
Novaya Gazeta reported the following information. Patarkatsishvili, living in London, was approached by members of the Saakashvili government demanding that he sell his controlling share in the dissident Imedi TV network. Initially, Patarkatsishvili refused, but was then offered an unprecedented deal: exchanging ownership of Imedi for ownership of the entire Georgian railroad system. Being a businessman, Patarkatsishvili reportedly agreed; however, when the Saakashvili side sent him the contract, there was a new clause, which required Badri to invest $2,000,000,000 in the "improvement" of the railroad property. He refused, but died shortly after. Novaya Gazeta's source is one of the lawyers from the legal side of this deal.[40][41][42]

Berezovsky has been accused by Russian authorities of being involved in the murders of several other leading critics of the Putin's regime, including FSB defector Alexander Litvinenko and journalist Anna Politkovskaya, in an attempt to destabilize the country and discredit Putin. Arrest warrants for him have been issued in Russia[4] and Brazil[5] for allegations of fraud, embezzlement and money laundering, and he is currently under investigation by the Swiss Bundesanwaltschaft for money laundering.[6]

Excerpt:
Following the ascent of Putin to the Russian presidency, Berezovsky went into opposition and fled the country after being accused of defrauding a regional government of US$13 million. He was later granted political asylum in the United Kingdom. He has since publicly stated that he is on a mission to bring down Putin "by force".[1][5] In the UK, he became associated with Akhmed Zakayev, Alexander Litvinenko and Alex Goldfarb in what has become known as "the London Circle" of Russian exiles. He is a founder of International Foundation for Civil Liberties. According to Professor Richard Sakwa, Berezovsky's behaviour is always marked by audacity and cunning.[6]

Controversy over naked short selling
Several companies have sued the DTCC, without success, over delivery failures in their stocks, alleging culpability for naked short selling. Furthermore, the issue of the DTCC's possible involvement has been taken up by Senator Robert Bennett and discussed by the NASAA and in articles—disagreed with by DTCC—in the Wall Street Journal and Euromoney Magazine.[2][3] The DTCC contends that the suits are orchestrated by a small group of lawyers and executives to make money and draw attention from the companies' problems.[3]
Critics blame DTCC as being in charge of the system where it happens, say that DTCC turns a blind eye to the problem, and that the Securities and Exchange Commission has not taken sufficient action against naked shorting.[3] DTCC says that it has no authority over trading activities, cannot force buy-ins of shares not delivered,[4] and suggests that naked shorting is simply not widespread enough to be a major concern. "We're not saying there is no problem, but to suggest the sky is falling might be a bit overdone," DTCC's chief spokesman Stuart Goldstein said. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), however, views naked shorting as a serious enough matter to have made two separate efforts to restrict the practice.[3] The DTCC says that the SEC has supported its position in legal proceedings.[4][5][6] DTCC General Counsel Larry Thompson calls the claims that DTCC is responsible for naked short selling "pure invention."[6]
In July 2007, Senator Bob Bennett, Republican of Utah, suggested on the U.S. Senate floor that the allegations involving DTCC and naked short selling are "serious enough" that there should be a hearing on them.[7] The committee's Chairman, Senator Christopher Dodd, indicated he was willing to hold such a hearing.[7] However, no hearing was ever held, and both Sen. Bennett and Dodd are no longer in the Senate, so any possible investigation seems moot at this point, and no further action on naked short selling is anticipated. The North American Securities Administrators Association, representing state stock regulators, filed a brief in a suit against the DTCC, arguing against federal preemption as a defense to the suit. NASAA said that "if the Investors’ claims are taken as true, as they must be on a motion to dismiss, then the entrepreneurs and investors before the Court have been the victims of fraud and manipulation at the hands of the very entities that should be serving their interests by maintaining a fair and efficient national market.".[8] The Whistler suit was later dismissed by the courts.
Critics also contend that DTCC and SEC have been too secretive with information about where naked shorting is taking place.[3] DTCC says it has supported releasing more information to the public.[4]

Excerpt:
Paul Klebnikov died yesterday (7/10/04) in Moscow because he had the courage to print the truth as he uncovered it through relentless investigative journalism. Anyone--such as some of the reviewers at this site--who dismisses this book because of some trivial libel suit brought by Berezovsky in London is making a mistake. Klebnikov was no small-time journalist with an axe to grind. He had a PhD in Russian history from the London School of Economics and was a senior editor for Forbes magazine. He was an American of Russian heritage who spoke Russian fluently and who used his abilities to investigate the looting of Russia that took place in the early 1990's. He loved Russia and wrote what he learned about the looting that was going on.
Everything Klebnikov says in this book can also be found in The Oligarchs by Hoffman (Washington Post), Putin's Russia by Shevtsova (Carnegie Endowment) and The Tragedy of Russia's Reforms by Reddaway (George Washington University). They all cite and/or quote Klebnikov with approval.
I can't recommend this book highly enough to anyone who wants an introduction to the murky world of Russian privatization during the '90's.

DTCC RECEIVES SEC APPROVAL FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL ONE-POT MARGININGDecision Opens Door for Launch of New York Portfolio Clearing
New York, March 1, 2011 – The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced today that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the transformational “one-pot” cross-margining arrangement between fixed income positions cleared by DTCC’s Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) subsidiary, including U.S. Treasury securities, agencies, and repurchase agreements, and interest rate futures positions cleared by New York Portfolio Clearing (NYPC)—a critical step designed to deliver an unprecedented level of capital and operational efficiency, transparency and risk reduction.

Excerpt:
From 1988, Abdul Haq wrote to American, British and United Nations diplomats warning that CIA money and weapons were funding terrorist training camps run by radical Afghan mujahideen and Saudi extremists bent on overthrowing moderate Middle Eastern governments. He took a similarly strong line against the Taliban, claiming that they were backing terrorists.
In 1999 his wife, Karima, and his 11-year-old son Jamil were assassinated at Peshawar by a Taliban hit-squad. Family friends inside the Taliban supplied the names of the assassins who were killed according to local traditions of justice. He remarried nearly a year ago.
In recent years, Abdul Haq had been pivotal in attempts to convene a traditional national assembly, a Loya Jirga. He opposed the recent allied bombings of Afghanistan, fearing that ordinary Pashtuns would be driven to support the Taliban. He was on a mission to eastern Afghanistan, encouraging Taliban commanders to defect, when he was captured and killed.

So we must ask: What is Penson Financial? Where did it come from? And who were its clients?
The answer is that Penson Financial was built almost entirely from brokerages tied to organized crime. And nearly all of its major clients (the traders and partner brokerages that accounted for most of Penson’s massive volumes) are tied to one or more of the following:
1) the Mafia
2) jihadi terrorist groups
3) hostile foreign governments, including those of Iran and Russia.

As should be clear from the contents of Deep Capture, the world of illegal naked short selling is a weird one, populated by sociopathic billionaires, slick lobbyists, famous felons, bent regulators, crooked law firms, corporate spies, message board maniacs, sinister banks, shifty private investigators, mendacious professors, professional dissemblers, propagandists, grifters, thugs, liars, and the Mafia.
