Free Republic

Seems we are constantly on the defensive from repeated attacks with real thin substance from the Democrats. Attacks on Dick Cheney because he once ran Halliburton (cleanly); counterfeited lies about the President’s record as a young man, etc., etc. Although they can find nothing substantial, this just keeps on and on, and now as a result we are apparently heavily on the defensive. Never a good position to be in so close to the big event. And we don’t seem to have any real dirt about the other side.

Let me provide some real dirt on the Democrats. This is about their enormous appetite for corruption via any and every means available (and these are enormous when backed by Presidential power). This story goes right to the heart of the Kerry Edwards ticket, and tracks back more than 40 years in the first of the 2 paired sagas of appalling long term Democratic corruption. This enormous paired corruption is still as active and as deadly effective as it was when one saga started in 1962, and the other in 1979. And this is only one stall in the Democrat’s immense Augean stables of corruption.

Who’s involved? Walter Mondale and his partner in corruption Thomas J. Watson Jr. (the late top IBM man) formed and vigorously directed the 1979 saga. A top Senator and one of Japan’s greatest industrial families (and their empire) formed and directed the 1962 saga. And then there’s the endless list of the companies, institutions, professional firms, judiciary, the services of our major Allies, etc., who automatically embrace and back up this heinous mess, to say nothing of the hordes of self seeking executives and professionals in the US government who seek to boost their mediocre careers by secretly supporting such totally illicit evil.

IBM, Lucent Technologies, ITT, NCR, DEC, Motorola, Sprint, ALCATEL, the German government, the UK government, the Australian government, Coopers & Lybrand (now PWC), Clifford Chance, all feature prominently in Mondale/Watson. Lucent and IBM star in one event that is possibly the largest software business bribe ever (now floating around DOJ somewhere, possibly into oblivion via Democratic politics). And there are legions of other organizations. Other governments are duped into acquiescence. No one ever questions their instructions, and no one is ever called to account. No tactic is ever too immoral or illegal, no target is spared, and no usable government or industry asset bypassed, no matter how illegal. American lawyers of all levels are routinely turned, or threatened and chased off, or automatically flee when approached. These horrendous Democratic corruption schemes get deeply established and develop an appalling long term life all of their own.

What’s all this got to do with Kerry Edwards? Just about everything. These two, the empty headed flip flop merchant, and the ever vacant-smiling star truant of the senate, are exactly the ticket the old democratic establishment, led by Mondale, desperately seek so they can continue to develop their enormous appetite for corruption: Mondale’s ticket back to the big time. Clinton Gore had their weaknesses, but they knew their power and held onto it largely. For Mondale and the Democratic establishment, these two promise to provide a replay of Carter and his immensely dangerous naivety and looseness. Remember, Mondale’s long-term chief henchman selected Edwards, the Democratic trial lawyer’s favorite, to be VP. And you can bet the selection came with a stiff price.

Mondale/Watson began with a 1978 Minnesota trial that threatened the state’s sole (slowly failing) computer company, which coincided with a momentous 1978-1980 attack on IBM’s global dominance via a marriage of a giant European comms operation with the finest in Japan’s computer industry: the Watsons’ long term AT&T nightmare magnified enormously. Both events were the work of the same man: Edward Wrathall. So Mondale and Watson got together. The trial was destroyed, and the European-Japanese computer marriage stopped, and then Mondale/Watson continued. To date their score in stopping major IBM competition and other industry shaking initiatives from this man is simply stunning: The development of revolutionary voice and data comms ruined in 1985. A top-level effort to bring China into the global software world stopped in 1996, and again in 2004. A major effort to bring the entire Arab world (plus major neighbors) into the IT services world stopped in 2001. Here was Watson, previously a major long-term monopoly target for the DOJ, able to crush significant opposition globally, impervious to any restraint, and now with the government’s active connivance and support.

There has been a very active hidden guerilla war going on against Mondale/Watson: at least 65 senior to top executives in business and government supporting the corruption have been ruined or badly damaged to date: 1 mid-sized country Cabinet Minister ruined; CEO of ALCATEL, ruined and sentenced to jail; CEO of ITT Germany, ruined and sentenced to jail; CEO of Sprint International out and broken; major Arab Bank MD out and broken;… But the personal costs have been crushing to the man, and especially to his third wife, and his 4 children: all long term repeated targets.

This is just a real fast first glance at one of the paired stories, there’re far more details: and there’s still its enormous and appalling paired story, the Democratic – Japanese tragedy.

Its time to take a real close look the immense load of corruption Kerry Edwards are blindly bringing with them.

Caveat Emptor.

John Kerry: Trojan Horse for Mondale's Corruption Machine

John Kerry is described as horse-like, wooden: without any real policies. The right animal, but the abstraction is incomplete. Kerry is the Trojan horse that miraculously appeared for Walter Mondale, to carry Mondale and his huge corruptions secretly back into real power and prominence in the US. Kerry was enticed to use Mondale's main henchman to select his VP, who moved fast to tap Mondale's kind of man, the Democratic Trial Lawyer's favorite. This is one man's 25 year saga of alleged massive corruption directed at him by Mondale and his late partner, Thomas J. Watson Jr. Mondale is now moving to fill Kerry's policy vacuum with his own appalling program for the use of Presidential power. He is seeking a replay of his heady Carter days of almost unsupervised access to Presidential Power, and its massive levers of power in Government, the economy, and the allies. Mondale is allegedly a supreme abuser of the US legal system, from county courts to the Federal Appeals courts, and through the profession. This is not a well-known subject, but Mondale is allegedly a manufacturer and sustainer of US corruption without equal.

Under Carter, Mondale allegedly established his own private government functions: State, Justice, Commerce, HEW, CIA, etc.: groups of federal executives and professionals all operating secretly within the massive Federal structures, for his unrestricted use on his nefarious schemes. Plus he has long called at will on industry, banking, and the main US Allies. No one refuses him, and he has never been called to account. Do you wonder what the huge US services functions were doing in the Middle East in the 90's, and why there were no disciplinary moves after 9/11. Ask Mondale: he was allegedly a heavy illicit user of these services there all that time, and he intends his rogue supporters go unpunished. This story, from just one man, Edward Wrathall, vividly illustrates the global reach and staggering dimensions of Mondale's alleged corruption machine.

The following sets out a massive unknown saga of alleged corruption that Mondale and his late close partner, Thomas J. Watson Jr., of IBM, cooked up and vigorously delivered, and which is still being delivered undiminished 25 years after launch; 10 years after Watson's death. The man's Japanese third wife is the victim of an older, far worse corruption cooked up by a more renowned Democrat for her famous family, gleefully discovered by Mondale/Watson and allegedly commandeered fast. There are four main elements in the story following, which covers massive alleged Mondale/Watson corruption targeting the destruction of 4 major global IT industry initiatives by this man: each clearly possessing the potential to shake the global IT and communications industries to their foundations, especially IBM.

In 1979 the needs of Mondale and Watson intersected: Mondale needed to ruin a Minnesota trial and verdict that threatened a failing computer company there. IBM was facing a highly damaging marriage of a huge (ITT owned) European-based telecomms operation and one of Japan's top computer companies. These parties were combining to attack IBM via a devastating plan to deliver far better price performance to IBM users than IBM's vastly overpriced mainframes, on a powerful family of expertly networked, low cost, distributed computers. This was Watson's massive IBM nightmare: the big telecomms companies going after 'his' business; now joined by Japan. The same man was behind both problems, the Minnesota lawsuit, and the IBM nightmare.

So Mondale and Watson allegedly joined forces to destroy their common enemy, and drive him out of the computer business. The lawsuit/trial was destroyed: by turning the judges and lawyers, ruining the main witness, destroying evidentiary files, etc. (The very new county judge voided the trial and was fast catapulted to the US Courts.) A powerful and utterly chilling demonstration of big-time US corruption at work. But this was just the beginning of the alleged Mondale/Watson corruption: no tactic was too immoral, no target spared, and no usable government or industry asset bypassed, no matter how illegal.

For the Watsons, who had nearly a century of serious brushes with US law due to their unbridled 'Robber Baron' tactics, this was the perfect dream. Instead of always fearing a fatal brush with the Justice Department, here was the #2 US executive vigorously joining in to enable and deliver their brutal array of restraints of trade. Over the past 25 years, with this single massive corruption, Watson has been able to enormously damage and delay the development of a strong indigenous IT industry in: Europe, Japan, China, and the entire expanded Arab world (including Turkey, Pakistan, Iran). An absolutely stunning achievement.

The destruction of major initiative #1

In 1980, after intense manipulations, Watson got his dreaded Euro-Japanese computer nemesis cancelled, close to launch. IBM's incredibly shortsighted strategy almost bankrupted itself by the late 1980's. In 1963 IBM had transferred the man (aged 22) to its US headquarters from Australia: he soon became a 'star', then a significant strategy dissenter, and then left. ITT, which owned the huge European telecomms operation involved, killed this Japanese golden goose. ITT has since almost disappeared after its own massive strategy failures, destroying near 90% of shareholder value - but Mondale's man there, the CEO, did very well. This Euro-Japanese marriage would have transformed the entire IT world, and undone the core of IBM's long monopoly.

The tactics employed were impressive: deliberate, highly self-damaging tactics by ITT to kill this enormously promising project - allegedly directed by Mondale/Watson. The all-too-compliant German interior security function was enlisted that, with ITT's German company, arranged to have the Japanese partner of the man terrorized by criminals for days in the his Munich ITT apartment, while he was in the US fighting the execution of his Japanese computer. The lady was then just recovering from emergency life saving surgery. The lady, the daughter of one of Japan's great industrial families, got the late Senator Henry Jackson involved to aid the man in his legal and industrial turmoil. A huge house cleaning soon took place in ITT, but didn't include the CEO. Later the ITT Germany CEO was jailed and ruined: Japanese retribution.

The destruction of major initiative #2

The man was forced to return to the US in late 1983. Allegedly Mondale/Watson targeted him there so he was totally unable to secure executive employment. But he had radically reworked an entire global PBX line, developed the first packet switching system (the base Internet technology), and been closely involved in large-scale computer and PC operations. From this he developed a clear vision of the ICT future: Data comms traffic would dominate voice; the PC would be ubiquitous; digitized voice would easily merge into the huge data comms traffic streams. He developed a radical new ICT architecture covering these major factors, and others.

The man formed a Californian company in 1985, developed a business plan, and approached key Bay Area Venture Capitalists with his top Silicon Valley law firm. Allegedly Mondale/Watson worked fast, and the verdict came back rapidly from John Doerr (a major VC figure with heavy Democratic machine connections), 'you won't get any financing in the US'. This ominous verdict was indicative of the efforts used to destroy this initiative.

Global telecomms carriers are now forced to rapidly adopt VOIP (voice over Internet) technology and business strategies in desperate attempts to survive fast growing newcomers. CISCO, now the dominant comms equipment company, didn't even exist at that time, and now has an enormous market capitalization. This is where those concepts have gone.

The man was forced to totally abandon this major initiative. Allegedly Mondale/Watson energetically ensured that all of this man's US initiatives were ruined during the 1980's. He was harassed until his last US Company was ruined by them, and he was thrown out of the US by a minor governor in 1991, allegedly at Mondale/Watson's insistence.

The destruction of major initiative #3

In 1989 the man was invited to diversify one of China's 4 largest companies into IT (one of Deng Hsiao Peng's close family was near the top); and he adopted the then-fledgling Indian IT services model. He recognized the growing importance of IT services, and that it would soon dominate the industry.

He focused on this from 1993 through 1996, after working with the main Indian IT Company. His 10-year plans were accepted at PRC cabinet level in record time. In 1993/4 allegedly Mondale/Watson were having the man's office routinely burglarized to check on his Middle East Sprint activities, obtain his Chinese plans, etc. None of this man's projects threatening IBM would be tolerated, and this major Chinese initiative was a real threat to IBM's then massively changing focus onto IT services. So, after trying to collect on a DEC executive's partnering invitation, and trying to secure promised Saudi investments, etc., he came up empty handed: All avenues had been firmly closed. He shelved this huge opportunity in the late '90's.

In 2002 the man returned to his Chinese IT services strategy. By then the Indian model was very successful, and enormously disruptive of the main IT services operations: particularly IBM. In 2003 Indian IT services exports were $12.5 billion, up from less than $150 million a decade before, with annual growth of 25%, and sustained profit margins of 20-25%: rare anywhere. IBM and the IT majors have been frantically moving increasing amounts of their services operations into India for years now. Western IT services prices have been enormously shrunk by the huge success of the Indians, who also feature high quality.

In 2001/03, the man finalized his upgraded strategy to develop the Chinese IT services industry and secured real interest from the EU. He sought and secured beginning high-level interest in Hong Kong and Singapore. Allegedly Mondale/Watson detected this, and moved powerfully to stop it. Allegedly via Mondale's secret government, they obtained routine interception of the man's Internet communications via a totally compliant Australian government. He had to use unencrypted email with his high level contacts: routinely intercepting this enabled high efficiency by Mondale/Watson, and they allegedly worked fast to stop each effort. Results: High-level Hong Kong government and industry contacts ruined. Pressure to meet SingTel's CEO (Lee Kuan Yew's son) dissipated. A key merchant banking relationship destroyed. KPMG's rush to help by opening key German political doors gone (KPMG gave major expert assistance to the man since 1999). Etc. Major forecasters say China could have 2008 IT export services of $30 billion. Alone the PRC simply can't do it (McKinsey '04: 'they are 10-15 years off').

But this initiative has far greater potential than just exported PRC IT services. The man's 1970's Euro-Japanese partnering would have totally transformed the European and the global IT industries. This Chinese IT services project is another very rare chance to force massive global IT industry change. This initiative would enable a powerful European/Asian IT industry development axis to be constructed. The man is seeking an alliance featuring Europe, and the main North Asian countries (China, Japan, and Korea) to form this major new IT axis. A new massive chill for IBM.

The destruction of major initiative #4

The man spent most of the 1990's with the Arabs, progressively developing larger and more successful companies, until his final initiative stretched across the whole Arabic speaking area, plus Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan. This final activity was greatly welcomed by key Arab groups seeking to rediscover their long lost paths to Arab excellence.

His first effort developed a new Sprint data comms/IT company from near zero in 1991 to a 1994 $45 million order book; it was the best in the Middle East. Allegedly Mondale/Watson worked mightily to stop this effort: Allegedly ITT's CEO got ALCATEL to buy control of Sprint's data comms equipment business to directly sabotage and ruin the man's major networks. The man and his projects survived. But the Japanese again got angry, and the CEO of ALCATEL was ruined and given a jail sentence, the key senior Sprint executive's career was mangled beyond repair, etc.

His second effort was to build a Middle East wide DEC-based operation. DEC gave their clear commitment, and then proceeded to blindly aid Mondale/Watson. After the man secured the first acquisitions and financing, Coopers & Lybrand (London) was to evaluate the first companies being acquired. They deliberately ruined this project, and when the man sought legal redress, his attorneys (Clifford Chance), with fulsome British Government aid, obeyed the alleged Mondale/Watson directive to also ruin the legal effort. Independent expert: damages - $50 million.

His third effort reengineered and reworked a Kuwaiti IT company so its revenues and valuation tripled in 5 years (revenues >$100 million), it secured world class margins, and it extended over 12 countries: the first ever in this region. Allegedly Mondale/Watson again excelled themselves. In 1997 the man's clients should clearly have won a tender for a new Saudi Telco billing system. Instead, due to massive bribery Lucent Technologies awarded the bid to IBM whose price was 300% of the man's clients, and their solution was non-complying. Possibly the largest bribery ever in software. The man complained and the Saudi Minister went. The issue is now with the US DOJ.

His fourth initiative was to build an IT company across the extended Arab area of 510 million people, deliver IT services and applications over the web, and offer IT services outsourcing to Europe. This was a Pan-Arab dream coming true for many key Arab personalities and groups. The man structured and negotiated the core deal, got the initiating contract signed, mezzanine financing committed, the first 2 acquisitions done and restructured (revenues $20 million), major Arab capital and equity financing lined up, the IPO support of 3 of the top NY underwriters, and was fast building key relationships: with President Mubarak's family; with the family of ex-President Rafsanjani, and a major Arab investor in Iranian Internet; with the UAE; Oman; Lebanon; etc. He was negotiating buying a group of 4 IT companies in Morocco. KPMG valued just the very limited phase I of this effort at near $100 million.

Allegedly Mondale/Watson decided to stop all this by getting the man's contract cancelled. They had manipulated the man's Saudi Sheikh with Machiavellian skill since he first arrived in Riyadh: his 1994 contract end payment of near $1 million was denied and replaced by fine Arab promises. The Sheikh's father has been the ruling Crown Prince's right hand man for decades, and is a multi-billionaire: the clear message was passed that their hundreds of millions invested in the US would be at risk unless.... The man's 2002-4 efforts to secure US justice in this Arab matter were destroyed allegedly by Mondale/Watson, clearly assisted by US Federal departments, and the craven Australian government's free listening and interception services for US corruption.

Also during the man's time in the area, a series of immensely dangerous efforts was made allegedly by Mondale/Watson to totally ruin him there; even going so far as trying to get him executed. The British government gave its loyal unstinting support to these heinous efforts. They included: smuggling illicit drugs for a sick British wife (penalty: beheading); adultery with a married Islamic woman (penalty: death by stoning); adultery with a married Christian woman (penalty: death by stoning); fist fighting with western men, 2 occasions - 1 ALCATEL/Sprint (penalty: flogging, jail); etc. A truly horrendous effort, all arranged by rogue elements of US and key allies' services. The man avoided all of these provocations. US and UK services have been very busy in the Middle East in the 90's: especially as servants of high-level US corruption.

Massive Personal Destruction:

The above is a bare summary of some of the worst excesses on this massive alleged Mondale/Watson corruption. Their rules of engagement also heavily targeted children and family. Great efforts were made to break the strong relationship between the man and his Japanese wife. The merciless suffering and horrendous tribulations she has borne due to the massively illegal, long-term interference in her life from DC are nothing less than appalling, and a massive shame on the American nation. They were able to direct her to (unknowingly) destroy his relationship with his elder daughter and drive his first son out of his mid-west Christian college, and the US. Due to their threats to her family, the man has never been able to meet his younger son (by her); he is now 23. His finances have been repeatedly destroyed, and his household effects ransacked en route to the US in 1983. Since 1978, all US and UK lawyers hired by the man have been turned. In recent years the craven Australian government hounded his relatives to get the man to abandon the US, finally offering him a pension and 'valuable' directorships to return and close down. Australian government goons would have ensured his silence once he was there. He refused. The relentless punishment for spurning this surrender offer: the destruction of his new China project, and the harassment of his few friends there to gather more personal targeting information. With this information Mondale/Watson again targeted his elder son, who was savaged and driven out of his fine European University where he was a leading student, close to finishing the equivalent of a double US Master's degree. After giving many years of hard political work as a student, the son was taken under the wing of one of Belgium's senior ministers. 2 children lost, and one repeatedly mauled by the Mondale/Watson efforts, the remaining daughter lost her education and much more.
