- One man that the ruthless and diabolical
George H. W. Bush wants dead or out of the picture probably more than anybody
else goes by the surprising and unknown name of Ernest Backes.
-
- And it may come as even a bigger surprise
that Backes isn't even a "fat cat" political foe or an undercover
FBI agent with information about Bush's Iran Contra drug smuggling days.
-
- Although not a big shot, the information
he learned as a backroom banking officer for the Clearstream Banking Network
is big news and pins Bush right to wall for lying about what has come to
be known as the "October Surprise."
-
- Regarding the Iranian hostage crisis,
Bush has always denied any wrongdoing or that he negotiated secretly with
Iranians for keeping the American hostages locked up until Ronald Reagan
became President.
-
- But Backes claims he has first hand information,
contradicting Bush. The bank officer, one of the men who handled the transactions,
claims that the Clearstream network was a principal conduit in the "October
Surprise" and that millions of dollars in bribes, negotiated by Bush
in his secret trip to Iran, was actually used to hold the hostages until
Reagan was elected instead of immediately releasing the captive Americans.
-
- His information also shoots a big hole
in U.S. foreign policy where American politicians always have gone on record
saying "they never negotiate with terrorists," this phrase said
over and over again as American soldiers or civilians faced torture and
death while being held captive.
-
- But according to Backes, Bush did negotiate
with terrorists, cutting a treasonous deal to keep American hostages in
bondage until Reagan secured the White House.
-
- In the past, Backs has told his story
before, mainly ut of the earshot of the mainstream American media, appearing
on radio shows overseas, as even Tim Sebastian of BBC World is familiar
with his story.
-
- But now Backes has essentially gone underground,
as the powers that be have turned up the heat in anticipation of his upcoming
book in May, detailing the Clearstream connection with October surprise,
as well as financial connections to the Vatican Bank scandal and the infamous
Bank of Ambrosiano.
