J C Wilson International Ventures (Joe's Comapny)

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Any freepers know how to translate this? Or at least figure out context?

[SittinYonder]

No wonder they blow themselves up ... if I had to try to make out chicken-scratch writing like that every day, I'd strap on a bomb and take out some infidels, too.

Danged ol' infidels got better letterin'

Chuck Hagel's name looks quite at home with the others in that list, especially Rand Beers

[MizSterious]

Hmmm. Those are sure some interesting names listed in that AlJazeera article.

[Darkwolf377]

I can't help out with the piece but good for you. We need to do what we can as we did with the Dan Rather lie.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Wouldn't that be sumpin' funny if it were a CIA front company ... hardee har har

[morans14]

Your tagline is hysterical

[AmericanInTokyo]

One thing about this company run by Wilson. It is claimed to be in the 20007 zip code. That places it in Northwest Washington, somewhere near Wisconsin Avenue (probably artsy-fartsy Wisconsin Avenue area). However, after VIGOROUS searching, there is nothing on this company, no website, you name it.

Methinks it is a front company, bogus and on paper. Either that, or a one employee operation run out of Mr and Mrs Ambassdor/Spy's residence in D.C. It is claimed to do international business development and transactions in relation to Africa. A furthe search of FARA or DOJ files might yield something.

[concrete is my business]

I know that I look very carefully at doing business with companies that use the words "venture" or "enterprise".

In my personal experience, they often are lacking in business experience and the names reflect the owners willingness to take big risks with other peoples money.

Had to go out for a while. Needed to buy son #@ some Khaki's After a long, long, Looooong meth struggle, he is finally gainfully employed! YeaaaaH!

I saw an address somewhere for Wilson. I will have to see if I can find it again.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

#@ should be #2
I hate when that happens.

I went to a translation website (http://www.cimos.com/translate/translate_text.asp) and the heading on that website translated to "The american strategist, and the Arabic failure, in the foreign policy".

I wasn't able to translate the phrase containing Wilson's company name - they only allow one free translation per day.

[cfoster]

Went to another translation site (http://www.systranbox.com/systran/box), and the one entry mentioning Wilson's company translates to "From word of Joseph Wilson diplomatic previous, current manager of company JC Wilson International Ventures." Doesn't help much.

Rock Creek Corp is listed as "Washington Investment Services and Stock Trading Services" at http://www.financial-investments.1clickguide.com/dc_washington_investment_services_3.html

---

Now, I find this on yet another site:
http://rogerlsimon.com/archives/00000404.htm
On the other side:
1) The news media keeps listing Joseph C
Wilson as "CEO of JC Wilson International Ventures"
.....As of May 2003, Joseph Wilson's email address was
joewilson@rockcreekcorp.com

2) Mr Wilson's affiliation at several recent foreign policy conferences was listed as Rock Creek Corp. See ,e.g., ttp://www.mepc.org/public_asp/forums_chcs/30.asp
and
http://www.mepc.org/public_asp/forums_chcs/30.asp
(Search for "Wilson" --e.g Iraqi Town Hall seminar on April 2003

3) If you look at Saudi Net's list of firms doing business in Saudi Arabia, you see Rock Creek Corporation--
see http://www.the-saudi.net/business-center/links-usa.htm

4) According to the Center for Contempory Arab Studies, a member of their Board is the President of Rock Creek Corporation --Mr Elias Aburdene . see
http://www.ccasonline.org/events/Board.htm

5) Rock Creek Corporation is what is tactfully called a "private equity firm" See
http://www.cohengroup.net/team-amb.html

6) An October 1996 article in the Washington Business Journal notes re Mr Elias Aburdene:
"Franklin National Bank in Washington has hired the former head of Palmer National Bank's international private banking unit, in an effort to attract deposits from well-heeled foreign investors.

Since opening Sept. 1, Franklin's new international private banking division has garnered about 50 customers and $15 million in deposits. Elias Aburdene, advisor to the division, headed a similar department for five years at Palmer, which became a subsidiary of George Mason Bankshares in May.

Franklin, with $450 million in assets, has started a foreign exchange operation to accommodate the new business. But mostly, Aburdene said, international private banking means plain-vanilla services like checking, delivered with personal service.

"They [international clients] are looking for intangibles -- discretion, confidentiality, competence," Aburdene said. Clients also like to have access to top executives at the bank, giving smaller institutions like Franklin an edge, he added. "

Who the "well-heeled foreign investors" are and the nature of the "intangibles" they want is left as an exercise for the reader.

7) However, the name "Palmer National Bank" of Washington DC should make any spooks out there grin knowingly.
See http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/S&L_Scandal_CIA.html
and search for "Palmer".

It certainly seems as if
Mr Wilson's boss has ..er.. been around the track a few times. Certainly enough times to know how to poke the Likud Neocons in the butt with a very sharp stick.

re: the above posts. This may very well turn out to be a "follow the money" issue. I do not know. I have not read them thoroughly, but wanted to post the links so others, with better, faster minds can start picking them apart.

This may give some idea of where the investigation is going and good old Joe may now be the target.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I'll do the one with the company name.
Be right back

Went to another translation site (http://www.systranbox.com/systran/box), and the one entry mentioning Wilson's company translates to "From word of Joseph Wilson diplomatic previous, current manager of company JC Wilson International Ventures." Doesn't help much.

sorry for the double post

[Ben Hecks]

Interesting! Will read later.

I think good ol' Mr. Wilson is going to rue the day he ever opened his yap and put his face on television. The skeletons are going to come pouring out of his closet, thanks to some enterprising blogger, ala, buckhead!
GO, PAJAMAHADEEN!
