JANE FONDA'S HUSBAND'S COMPANY SELLS OUT VIETNAM VETERANS

Vietnam Veterans enslaved and tortured by the Saud family were approached by a CNN producer who said he was investigating the abuse of US citizens in Saudi Arabia. The Vietnam Veterans worked with him for approximately two years giving him documentation and leads to other Vietnam Veterans enslaved and/or tortured by the Saud family.

Approximately 200 hours of video were taken of US citizens discussing their traumatic tortures at the hands of the Saud family. The producer aired a small segment on CNN in the Washington area.

Shortly thereafter the producer was no longer with CNN and ended up working for a small trade magazine. After waiting a reasonable time for an airing of the planned documentary, the Vietnam Veterans asked for their documents and photographs back from CNN. These documents included a photograph of a Saud family torture chamber similar to that allegedly used by the Iraqis in Kuwait as well as one depicting a palace prison for sex slaves.

Turner Broadcasting Assistant General Counsel reports; "we are looking through the files in the CNN Washington Bureau, also in an effort to determine whether CNN has in its possession any of Mr. Mallard's materials."

CNN Assistant General Counsel later reports: "Although I have not heard from you concerning particulars of any documents and/or photographs which Mr. Mallard believes are still in CNN's possession, CNN has expended a great deal of effort in looking through its materials and has been unable to find anything which belonged to Mr. Mallard. ... it is our understanding that all materials of Mr. Mallard's were returned to him quite some time ago."

Peter Truell and Larry Gurwin in their book False Profits say: "Through this long-secret relationship, the Saudis have even brought themselves close to - perhaps directly into - an ownership position in Ted Turner's Cable News Network (CNN).

At the center of this scheme was a group of Saudi intelligence operatives with intimate ties to both BCCI and the CIA."

Several pages later they go on to say: "In the mid-1980s, Turner was desperately short of capital and on the verge of bankruptcy. In 1987 ... [there was] a $560,000,000 rescue of Turner's company. ...Were BCCI and its friends in Saudi intelligence behind the bailout of Turner Broadcasting? If so, were they seeking to influence public opinion in the United States and other countries where CNN operates?"

The Vietnam Veterans also incurred another case of missing documents when slides depicting Saud family atrocities against US citizens disappeared from The Boston Globe.

An Associate Editor of the Boston Globe reports; "I wish to inform you repeated efforts have been made to locate the slides ... without success."

Soon after disappearance of slides, photographs and documents from CNN and the Globe, the Saud family government severely restricted visas for foreign photographers. This policy continues to this day.

Fox's Saudi Prince

With surprisingly little media attention, Saudi Arabia has bought a stake in the company that owns what has been, until now, arguably its most visible and influential critic: the Fox News Network. Will this be the end of Fox’s “fair and balanced” coverage of the immense Saudi role in promoting Islamofascist terror?

RON BROWN: A PORTRAIT OF A WASHINGTON INSIDER WHO HYPOCRITICALLY SOLD OUT VIETNAM VETERANS ENSLAVED AND TORTURED BY THE SAUD FAMILY

Ron Brown should be considered the typical Washington insider. Ron Brown had many titles in Washington. He was at one time Chairman of the National Democratic Party appointed to that position by others who saw nothing wrong with his behavior. He ended his career by being Secretary of Commerce constantly looking for side deals that were personally rewarding.

Again, by virtue of being appointed to these prestigious positions, the Democratic Party and the Clinton Administration saw nothing wrong with his behavior.

New York Times reports: "Mr Ly Thanh Binh ... [has been] telling reporters, Congressional staff members and agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation ... that Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown had sought a bribe from the Vietnamese Government in return for his help in lifting the trade embargo against Vietnam."

Mr Binh who reported the alleged solicitation said; 'My motive purely is that I do not believe in unethical government conduct.' ...

Mr. Brown seem to contradict statements put out earlier by his aids. ... Mr. Brown flew to South Florida on a private jet, met with Mr. Hoa and told him he wanted to be 'the exclusive lobbyist' for Vietnam ...

Mr. Brown wanted $700,000 and other economic concessions. Mr. Binh said the money was to be placed in a Singapore bank account controlled by a friend of Mr. Brown."

From Freedom of Information Act, Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown in his trip to Saudi Arabia met with a number of Saud family members and their associates. The Summary Schedule says Secretary Brown also met in a country team briefing with CEO of AT&T Network Systems International and the Managing Director of AT&T Saudi Arabia.

The New Yorker says: "Fahd had agreed to give a four-billion-dollar telephone contract to A.T.&T.. European competitors complained that the American bid had been far higher than theirs - twice as high. Fahd was prepared to pay dearly for his relationship with the United States."

ATT gave $765,763, to the Democratic Party between 1993 and 1995. King Fahd also placed a $3.6 billion order with Boeing. Boeing gave $65,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

Clinton was forcing King Fahd to accept the US corporations over their European competitors.

During Secretary Ron Brown's first months in office he was responsive to the plight of the Vietnam Veterans enslaved and tortured by the Saud family, that is until he returned from a trade mission to Saudi Arabia.

Upon returning Secretary Brown called the plight of the Vietnam Veterans a negative and refused to aid in the negotiations to settle this dispute. At this same time he was actively and successfully pursuing negotiations between large US corporations and the Saud family.

The Washington Post reports: "Clinton yielded to 'resurgent mercantilism' and allowed Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown to become the U.S. government's human rights spokesman, Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth said: ... 'So thoroughly did the quest for foreign markets eclipse human rights that Secretary Brown made the audacious claim, without presidential contradiction, that ... the public stigmatization of repressive regimes - for decades indispensable to the defense of human rights - is a mere 'feel-good policy' that accomplishes nothing."

The Washington Post reports: "A Brazilian businessman arranged a large loan to a friend of Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown, which was used to buy a Washington town house now occupied by the friend and owned by Brown, according to U.S. News & World Report. ... [The businessman] is an adviser to Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. ... [The businessman] held a dinner party at his home in Sao Paolo for Brown when he headed a trade mission to Brazil".

It has been learned that Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown left an estate which is said to include a sizable cache of monies in a Grand Cayman off shore account. This off shore account is said to be in his own name. He did not make any effort to hide it under a number, shell corporation or one of his associates names. The behavior of Secretary of Commerce Ronald H Brown should be considered the rule and not the exception in Washington. Usually Washington types do not meet with an untimely death and are able to pass their hidden accounts to others without notice during their retirement years. At this time it is not known whence these Cayman monies could have come or how much if any came from foreign countries, US corporations or the Saud family. It is believed that Ron Brown never registered as an agent of a foreign country or a lobbyist for corporations either before of after he became Secretary of Commerce. This is better left to the world media to track.
