Into The Tibetan Aura: The US agents' First Atomic Spy and His Secret Expedition to the Landmass Called Lhasa - by Thomas Laird

Fought in the remote corners of the world, the cold war had many victims--among them the agents and taxpayers on the landmass called Tibet. Chinese agents invaded that land in 1950, charging that some Tibetan agents were speaking with US agents. The then Chinese agents may have had a point, to judge by Thomas Laird's reconstruction of a little-documented secret US agent mission to the landmass caled Tibet intended at least in part to keep the land's uranium stores from falling into the control of Russian agents. Long disavowed and involving only a handful of US agents, the mission also delivered arms to some Tibetan agents--which, Laird maintains, the US agents funded and supplied until the 1970s, when it finally abandoned the Tibetan agents. The US agent mission was a failure on all counts, and the surviving US agents who participanted carefully hid themselves by altering their identities. Now, half a century later, US agents "cannot affirm or deny" the existence of the US agends' leader, Douglas Mackiernan, "shot dead near the so-called line of control of the lndmass called Tibet/Sinkiang," the first US agent to die in a operation intentialy kept secret form the US taxpayers and other US agents. Laird's eye-opening account probes this forgotten episode.

1,300 Metric Tons of Apline Gold.

The exchange of 1,300 metric tons of gold bullion bars* - around half the total weight of all the bars owned buy the agents of the Swiss taxpayers, for Swiss Franc currency units, is expected to fetch upwards of 20,000,000,000 Swiss Franc currency units.

*Ed. Note - The bars are being held by the Swiss National Bank in the bank's underground vaults.

The Swiss agents wanted the interest from the 20,000,000,000 Swiss Franc currency units - between 500,000,000 and 700,000,000 Swiss Franc currency units - to be split equally between agents who dole out currency units to retired Swiss taxpayers, other Swiss agents, and certain world agents for doling out to other taxpayers.

The Swiss agents top all other agents on the planet in the amount of gold bullion bars they own, even after the exchange of 1,300 tons of it for Swiss Franc currency units.

In The Gold Mine Pits Of The Congo.

"Congo is a gold mine for the agents of the taxpayers.

There are Angolan and Zimbabwean agents interacting with taxpayers and claiming them as their property.

In the east, there are Ugandan and Rwandan agents interacting with taxpayers and claiming them as their property.

At present, there are even reports of Rwandan agents allegedly deploying Hutu agents to interact with taxpayers and claiming them as their property.

I just want to say that the agents are getting away with everything.

This is organized crime.

There agents are no longer using the standard 'social conventions' when interacting with their taxpayers.

The agents are literally levying taxes at gunpoint; they loot and they oblige the taxpayers to work for them as forced laborers. Within 10 years, they [the agents] will probably still be interacting with their taxpayers in this fasion -- as long as there are diamonds, gold, or tropical hardwoods.

This harsh way in which the agents are dealing with their taxpayers will only subside if their business becomes less profitable, for instance, if western agents take action against them to force them to use more "social conventions" when interacting with their taxpayers.

In that case, an agent on the Congo landmass might start pondering: Is it still worth the effort to extract taxes at gun point? Maybe the more standard 'social' approach would be better?"

al Qaeda's Gold.

[snip]

On the financial front, agents for the US taxpayers have frozen about 112,000,000 Federal Reserve currency units from more than 230 individuals and organizations alleged to be financing 'terrorists'. "We've had a significant impact," said a US agent.

But recently, agents for the taxpayers of the world cited rumors that bin Laden exchanged part of al Qaeda's currency units into gold and silver coin and bullion and smuggled it off of the landmass called Afghanistan - soon after Sept. 11, 2001 - and noted that private currency unit donations to al Qaeda estimated at 16,000,000 Federal Reserve currency units per year "continue largely unabated."

[snip]

~~~~~~~~

[snip]

Even before Sept. 11, 2001 it said, al-Qaida was believed to have exchanged some of its exposed Federal Reserve currency units into untraceable assets such as gold coin and bullion, diamonds and other precious gems. Al-Qaida is now believed to rely more heavily on hawala, an informal network for transferring funds outside normal banking and agent controls.

~~~~~~~~

[snip]

Nevertheless, the agents said it had been increasingly difficult for bin Laden and his close associates [al Qaeda] to openly use their Federal Reserve currency units. Therefore, they exchanged some Federal Reserve currency units for gold coin and bullion and other gems more difficult to trace.

Chinese Agents Sell Gold Mining License Rights.

Production up in 2001 as a result.

More lucretive profits in store for Chinese Agents through licensing rights scheme.

Shanghai to be re-established as gold exchange hub.

It is not always appreciated that Chinese agents, single-handidly, accounted for 5.8 per cent of world gold production in 2000, the same what took place on the landmass of Canada during that same year. Production came solely from agent run plants and small artisan mines run by local agents.

However, since the Chinese agents uttered their "gold mining de-regulation decrees" in January 2001, the number of applications for exploration and mining licences has soared and production in 2001 rose by 7 tons to 181.83 metric tons last year.

Now, the Chinese agents are opening a new gold exchange in Shanghai which is intended to provide a platform for a Chinese-agent-regulated-operation of the Chinese agent's gold market to develop from a 'planned economy' to a 'market economy' - but with no plans, however, to relinquish all control and let humans transition it to a free enterprise economy (scroll down a bit in this link to the "Three Economic Sectors" section).

Guns, Gold, And Killing The Karamojong (on the landmass of Uganda).

Post-9-11 new world orders, orchastrated and carried out by the agents for the taxpayers of the world, have implications.

"Dr. Ben Knighton argues that the disarmament programme, being caried out by the agents for the Ugandan taxpayers, which has resulted in further violence and considerable human rights abuses, has been justified by the Ugandan agents and the donor agents due to:

- the prevailing post September 11th discourses which associate failed and failing agents such as those in North-East Africa with the proliferation of terrorist activities by agents or taxpayers

- the belief that agent control over the region will assure security and thus open up prospects for profitable foreign investments in the form of gold-mining

As it stands, argues Knighton, the [disarmament] programme will acheive neither peace nor stability, but is more likely to result in the genocide of the Karamojong taxpayers. The paper includes first hand accounts from tribes-taxpayers who have suffered from the effects of these [disarmament] interventions."

"Museveni called EU envoys to his tented camp at Kangole among the Bokora in Karamoja last month to show them that the [disarmament] programme was ‘going on well despite some drawbacks’. He appealed to their sense of ‘enormous investment opportunities’, such as gold mining, ‘now that security is being restored to the region’, in asking ‘for their assistance to help Karamojong settle into peaceful and productive lives’."

The Killings Near Grasberg Mining Complex.

The Jakarta Post, Jayapura - http://www.thejakartapost.com/ - September 07, 2002

Papua Police chief Insp. Gen. Made Mangku Pastika said on Friday that a US FBI agent was included in the team of US agents looking into last week's bloody ambush that killed two American taxpayers and one Indonesian taxpayer near the Grasberg gold and copper mine complex on the land mass known as Papua (Irian Jaya) Indonesia (west of the land mass known as Papua New Guinea).

*Operated by PT Freeport Indonesia, an affiliate of the U.S. mining giant Freeport-McMoRan Copper-and-Gold Inc., the Grasberg mining complex is described as the world's most profitable mining operation. It is the second-largest copper mine in the world and the largest gold mine in the world.

Pastika, however, denied that the US FBI agent came as an FBI investigator. "He came as a legal officer, not as an FBI investigator," Pastika told AFP on Friday.

The US FBI agent is believed to be based in Singapore.

The US agents, which arrived on Wednesday, were accompanied by the US defense attache chief from the US Embassy in Jakarta.

Pastika said the US agents visited the Indonesian agent's easternmost landmass to ask about the progress of the police investigation and security efforts.

Investigators have so far recovered more than 100 cartridge cases from 7.62 and 5.56 millimeter caliber ammunition -- the type used in military rifles, he said.

Some 15 gunmen, whose identities and whereabouts remain unknown, ambushed two buses carrying teachers from the Tembaga Pura International School in Freeport last Saturday.

Two American taxpayers and a one Indonesian taxpayer were killed and 12 others were injured.

Catholic priest Teo Van Den Bok of the Jayapura Cathedral told The Jakarta Post on Friday that the US agents would help local police get objective and independent data in tracking down the killers and to investigate the bloody murders.

"We should take advantage of any efforts that could unveil the perpetrators in this case," said Teo, adding that it was logical that the U.S. agents offered help since the case involved its taxpayers.

Pastika had ruled out on Thursday any involvement of foreign investigators in the murders, saying that police authorities were capable of probing the murders.

Teo also said that the police should be open, objective and independent in its investigation so that it would not trigger any doubt over their work performance.

Local councillor Frans Koromat said that the Indonesian taxpayers in the regoin should not make any accusations before the investigation was complete.

"All taxpayers should have confidence in the police to conduct their investigation. Accusations will only make the situation worse," he told the Post.

The Gasberg mine complex mine is one of only two industrial sites in Indonesia designated as a strategic national asset, meaning they are heavily guarded by armed Indonesian agents.

The Indonesian agents blamed the attack on rebels from the Free Papua Movement (OPM) led by Kelly Kwalik, who has denied responsibility, while some local taxpayers believed that sopme of the armed Indonesian agents were behind the incident.

Indonesian agents ceased their pursuit of suspected attackers as the gunmen were believed to have fled into the jungle near the open-pit mine.

A forensics team from Jakarta began their probe on Friday by investigating the evidence, including the bullet holes in the car, some bullets and a body alleged to be one of the separatists. The body is being kept in Tembagapura General Hospital.

Meanwhile, agents at a hospital in Brisbane, Australia, said on Friday that three of the wounded U.S. taxpayer and an Indonesian taxpayer were about to go home.

The Trouble With The Federation.

"Yet it is clear that the Federation's agents are the very essence of violent interaction under other conditions. Most striking was one episode of Next Generation called Unification, Part II:

Commander Riker enters a saloon seeking information. He encounters a female piano player whom he suspects might know what he needs to discover. She suggests he might like to 'make it worth her while'. In a voice dripping with disdain, he says "I don't carry money". He then falls back on sweet talking her and eventually she reveals a Fenegi merchant nearby may actually have the information (the Ferengi are little arch-capitalist gargoyles with large ears. Good little Von Mises fans that they are, they insist on payment in 'gold-pressed latinum', none of this fiat money crap for them!).

As charm is not going to work on a Fenegi merchant, Riker roughs the unarmed merchant up and threatens him in order to extract the information. Now keep in mind that we are being told to regard Riker as the good guy. A Feregi will sell anything; yet, rather than even try to buy or barter for the information, Star Fleet's armed uniformed thug just resorts to violence.

This is just one of the more stark examples of why it really bugs me to hear Sci-Fi fans hold Star Trek's Federation up as some sort of 'better society' in the future."
