Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi, an Oliver North intermediary in Iran-contra, surface yet again, this time in connection with Huffman Aviation, training camp for Mohammed Atta's suicide-cult cell ...
Decades before burning skyscrapers, codified torture, secret trials and mass detentions, there was Barrick Gold, a mining concern in Canada with roots in the American intelligence establishment. It is fitting that gold, the seductive but dead heart of world finance, should christen a story about the most unconscionable act in Wall Street history: 911.
Barrick’s incorporation is obscure. Most accounts claim that the firm was founded by Peter Munk, a former radio manufacturer who made a splash in the Canadian press when he disposed of his shares in the company shortly before it was declared insolvent, a golden parachute paid for by investors and the Canadian taxpayer. His name was instantly mud in the investment community, but fortunately for Munk, no indictment was filed against him.
Today, his overall worth is estimated at $350 million.1 Munk’s redemption was the work of Saudi entrepeneur Adnan Khashoggi, who would go on to notoriety as an Ollie North intermediary in the Iran-Contra affair. Khashoggi and Munk kicked off their partnership with a series of hotel investments. In 1983, the Saudi entrepeneur raided his cash reserves to purchase Barrick. Munk was installed as chairman.
Khashoggi distanced himself from Barrick shortly after the Iran-Contra scandal broke (but held on to his stock, tied up as collateral for North’s arms transfers to Iran in 1985), notes Observer reporter Gregg Palast in a book on the 2000 presidential election, well before Bush was invited in. That was in 1993, according to SEC records: “Munk's reputation was restored, at least in his own mind, in part by massive donations to the University of Toronto. Following this act of philanthropy, the university awarded Munk adviser Bush an honorary degree. Several students were arrested protesting what appeared to them as a cash-for-honors deal.”2
The bonds were positively Sicilian. in 1986, Khashoggi was arrested for fraud and held in a New York prison. Munk paid his $4-million bail.3
Financial researcher Lois Battuello was Palast’s key source of information concerning Barrick. It was Battuello who gave Palast a file on Barrick Resources International (BRI), the nascent firm founded two years before Barrick Gold, a spin-off, by the Central Intelligence Agency’s Kermit Roosevelt to serve as a business front.
This was roughly the same time that Roosevelt cemented relations with Khashoggi, who brought Munk along, on behalf of the CIA. In 1983, Battuello says, the disgraced entrepeneur “picked up the mantle of this clandestine front (read looted taxpayer dollars) in Toronto as though it was his operation. It was simply put together with ‘evil money,’ and it gave Adnan Khashoggi an excuse to be visible in Toronto, where he established yet more businesses and outposts.”4 The offshore division of Khashoggi's Barrick Resources, for instance, controlled Jetborne, Inc., a company in Toronto used by Khashoggi to ship arms to Iran under the direction of Reagan’s NSC.5
Khashoggi’s empire, raised on a bed of gold, metastasized rapidly. In 1973, he dropped in his burgeoning folio a company in possession of nearly two million acres of prime real estate, the Arizona-Colorado Land & Cattle Company -- not far from the 100,000 acre Paloma Ranch near Gila Bend, deeded to the CIA’s Kermit Roosevelt and John B. Anderson.6
Two years later, in cahoots with Sheik Kamal Adham -- then director of Saudi intelligence (1963-79), brother-in-law of King Faisal and the CIA’s key liaison in the Arab world -- Khashoggi founded Oryx.
But the Saudi Sheik’s thieving bonds with Khashoggi and the CIA were forged decades earlier, with the incorporation of Barrick. The company’s seed investors were Saudis with Agency ties, including Shiek Kamal Adham, Adnan Khashoggi, and Prince Nawaf bin Abdul Aziz (a major investor in Barrick, code-named “Tumbleweed” by his CIA contacts).7 By 1978, Adham was worth roughly $134 million.
It was but two years earlier that the son of Prescott Bush, a well-heeled CIA director, struck up an alliance with Saudi Arabia and Iran under the Shah. George H.W. Bush’s left-hand man at Langley was Kamal Adham. After leaving the CIA in January, 1977, Bush was appointed to the executive committee chair of First International Bancshares (FIB). (In the 1980s, the Shiek and Abdul Khalil ((Adham’s successor as Saudi intelligence director)), then officers of BCCI, were implicated in a hostile bid for FIB, by this time transmorgrified into a front for its scandal-infested parent, BCCI.)
Raymond Close, another covert revolving-door dervish, CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia, took arms from the Saudis and gave them to Pakistan, and in ‘70s left the Agency and went to work for BCCI director Kamal Adham.
Majority shares in Capcom, a BCCI susidiary, were held by Saudi spooks Adham and Khalil. Capcom sidelines included money laundering and drug trafficking.8 Adham was eventually prosecuted for fraud in the BCCI case and paid a $100 million fine.
Oryx, the demonic corporate brat of Khashoggi and Adham, has recently been linked by investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker (Welcome to Terrorland) to Wallace Hilliard, proprietor of Huffman Aviation in Florida, where Mohammed Atta’s suicide-cult cell trained.
Of the 220 flight schools in Florida, Atta had to pick Huffman.
Wallace Hilliard, Khashoggi lackey, bought Huffman Aviation in 1999, and hired Rudi Dekkers, a Dutchman, to run it. The following year, Hilliard’s LearJet was stopped on the runway at Orlando Executive Airport by armed DEA agents.
At Huffman, too, the CIA was a silent partner. Sander Hickes, a reporter for the Long Island Press, found that Hilliard “did business with Myron Du Bain, who worked alongside late ex-CIA director John McCone on the boards of several banks. Du Bain was chairman of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company in 1981 when the company announced plans to acquire Employers Health, an insurance company co-founded by Hilliard.”9
Daniel Hopsicker offers the suggestion that Mohammed Atta had engaged “in a lucrative drug trafficking operation which linked Osama bin Laden's thugs and drug lieutenants to their equally-thuggish American counterparts. This places the two terrorists in the same aviation loop” -- Hilliard titled the jet in the name of Plane One Leasing Co., of Naples, FL, and leased the plane to American Jet Charters, co-managed by Hilliard and pilot Diego Levine-Texar -- “where DEA agents brandishing submachine guns seized a Lear jet belonging to the owner of the flight school [Hilliard] in Venice, Florida, where Atta and Al-shehhi were just settling in ... at that very moment.”
DEA agents, Hopsicker writes, “discovered 43 pounds of heroin aboard Hilliard’s Lear. The Orlando Sentinel hailed the bust as ‘the largest seizure in Central Florida's history.’ After we'd learned the whole story, we discovered the bust had been an accident, carried out by low-level DEA operatives not clued-in to the protected nature of the trade. Nor was this the only time Hilliard's name came up in connection with narcotics trafficking.”10
Likewise, Hilliard’s Saudi boss would soon be immersed in criminal activity of his own -- with direct ties to terrorism -- in Armenia. Banking fraud was rampant there, Global News Wire reported in August, 2004, “thanks to the Arab millionaire Adnan Khashoggi -- an active partner of Armenian businessmen in the illicit drug and arms trades.” Khashoggi’s initial bucket-shop banking operation was a branch of the Caucasus Investment Bank in Susa. In quick succession, he opened the Hamaz and Beit ul-Muqaddas banks with the assistance of Abu Muslum, an Arab businessman.
Rovsan Novruzoglu, a political scientist and director of the International Strategic Research Center in Azerbaijan, discovered that Adnan Khashoggi’s banks “played a big part in the formation of terrorist camps and in the opening of laboratories for developing chemical and bacteriological weapons in Nagornyy Karabakh.”11
Back home, Hilliard's flight school, as Hopsicker reported, “was training dozens of terrorists to fly -- including both pilots crashing into the World Trade Center.” ... ------------- NOTES

Not much wonder that PDJT is ambivalent about his disappearance. Murder has not been proven, he disappeared and could be somewhere in the Hindu Kush doing his hootka.
A very convenient disappearance for the new modernist Saudi regime now being resisted by the traditionalists who seek its destruction and severance from Israel.
Ping to Adnan Khashoggi article from 2004. Thanks Fred for showing us this one!
Too long winded to read. DJT’s enemies are counting on it. That way they can throw mud.
You don’t have to read the article, to know that Adnan Khashoggi was not just a “journalist” for the Washington POst.
That was just a cover.
Good luck my FRiend.
bmp
This is not the guy killed at the embassy.
Jamal Khashoggi, Adnan's nephew, was killed at the embassy.
"..???...so da Fred is really a Freda,right?"
This could cause President Trump a lot of support. There are those who thought he would keep his campaign promises to extract the US from the Mideast and Afghanistan, not side with the bad guys.
Adnan was perhaps the world’s most infamous arms dealer and intelligence /influence peddler.
JAMAL Kashoggi was his cousin.
Jamal did occasionally work with Adnan in the arm trade and broker deals with muslim terrorists.
But the two should not be confused. Adnan was primarily a businessman who didn’t care who he dealt with or their goals, as long as he got paid. Jamal was a jihadist.
“..???...so da Fred is really a Freda,right?”>>>>>>>>>
Yes, IMHO.
My bad on the confusion, but the fact is that Jamal was hooked up through his family and the point is that Jamal Khashogi is not just a simple Washington Journalist as the left wishes America to believe.
The entire Jamal affair is likely a sting by Saudi traditionalists who want to sever the modernist Saudi policy of working militarily , sharing Intel with Israel. Jamal may not even be dead, just retired somewhere in the Umma.
Show us Jamal’s body or whats left of it.
Good riddance and rot in hell.
Where’s the body?
So, far, there is no proof of a crime, merely allegations
Yes I stand corrected but the point is that Jamal was not a simple journalist . My bad, and I apologize.
Each claim in this article could probably be a full book in itself. This article is a fire-hose of information and claims regarding the deep state.
Did you notice the footnotes?

He wasn’t a journalist. He wrote a few pieces for WaPo.
For one thing.
No one gives a s*** about Jamal Khashoggi. Why do you?
Khashoggi will eventually become 8 ft of the rope we fed them. Khashoggi is part of one of the most nefarious arms dealers families in the history of arms dealers. He wrote marshmallow Qatar (where Hillary has her $$$) propaganda for the Washington Post from time to time. #MAGA— John Salisbury (@5Strat) November 23, 2018
Khashoggi was a martyr. He offered 500 Million in hard gold to Saudi Air Force Royal Guard to kill MBS (Plot was uncovered)
It was a coup against Saudi Arabia & Turkey had spy equip. in Saudi Embassy and caught the reverse op immed. Turkey & #DeepState = Khashoggi #MAGA #QAnon https://t.co/bZHrVgeDav— John Salisbury (@5Strat) November 23, 2018
Cannot get into much at this time, but Jam has long been involved in direct support of PFLP/PIJ)/Hezbollah/Hamas, and has long been working to assist the Moscow/ANK/THR axis, to destroy western alliances with SB royals.
And he absolutely hates the US, EU, and Israel.
He has also been involved with organizations who have attempted to kill family members, at different times, of the SB royals.
Unfortunately, it is painfully obvious some on our own side are intentionally attempting to damage Trump through this.
The left clearly has its globalist people across the ic-, and they could care less what domino’s they kick over.
