Another 9/11 waiting to happen Wayne Madsen?
Wayne Madsen Report June 16, 2008
Roland "Tony" Carnaby, the one-time CIA station chief for the
Southeast Region slain by Houston police on April 29, was an advocate of
increasing "HUMINT" resources in and around the sprawling Houston port
complex, from Houston to Galveston. Houston is the largest port in the
United States for foreign tonnage.
Carnaby had in his possession the morning of April 29 information
that someone wanted and wanted badly enough to order the Houston police
to treat the well-known former CIA clandestine agent and president of
the local chapter of the Association for Intelligence Officers (AFIO) as
a dangerous armed criminal. After an extensive investigation, WMR has
learned that those who ordered the "hit" on Carnaby were part of a team,
including smugglers tied to the Russian-Israeli mob, who were involved
in terrorist planning activities in the greater Houston area.
Carnaby and his intelligence and federal and county law enforcement
associates were concerned about the potential for a "9/11-like" false
flag attack on either Houston's port facility, airports, or all of them
in and around the Memorial Day and Independence Day weekends.
WMR has learned that at a meeting of tugboat captains last week in
Houston, the possibility of an imminent terrorist attack on the Houston
port was discussed.
Carnaby's belief in HUMINT as a determinant of terrorist plans likely
caused him to believe that Houston was in imminent danger for an attack.
WMR spoke to Carnaby's intelligence and law enforcement colleagues who
share his concerns. Suspiciously, the Houston police, in violation of US
Judge Keith Ellison's order to preserve all evidence related to
Carnaby's shooting by the Houston police, admitted that it disposed of
the evidence. Moreover, after having secured Carnaby's Blackberry, which
is known to contain contact numbers for CIA and other federal agents, as
well as their informants, was returned to the custody of the Houston
police by Secret Service Special Agent R. Jennings, the reported SAC
(Special Agent in Charge) of the Houston office.
Jennings has been accused by Carnaby's colleagues of cooperating with
the very same elements, including individuals connected to Israeli
intelligence activities in the Houston area and their well-placed moles
inside the Houston Police Department, who wanted access to Carnaby's
contacts and other information. The compromise of Carnaby's information
represents a potentially devastating compromise of national security and
are in direct violation of the National Security Act of 1947, according
to Carnaby's colleagues.
It still remains unknown what happened to Carnaby's Mac laptop
computer as well as a number of other cell phones, including an I-Phone
and a Bang and Olufsen mobile phone in Carnaby's possession at the time
of his shooting. Carnaby's colleagues revealed that Carnaby possessed a
number of cell phones because some were dedicated to activating video
and camera systems placed in strategic locations in and around Houston's
ports and airports and downloading images to his phones and eventually
to his laptop. At least three phones in Carnaby's possession on the
morning of April 29 were used to activate cameras and download photos
and videos from sites in and around Houston. One mobile phone number was
reportedly used for this surveillance activity -- 713 208-0000.
On May 16, 2008, WMR reported: "The CIA was concerned that details of
Carnaby's classified and covert work for the CIA in the Port of Houston,
as well as his non-official cover Carnaby Shipping Company Ltd. and
American Global Enterprise contacts in the United States and Lebanon may
have been compromised to Israeli Mossad agents who have infiltrated the
Houston Police Department primarily through blackmail techniques. The
Israeli Consulate General in Houston is reportedly at the center of the
Israeli influence and intelligence ring in the fourth largest city in
America and the home to the largest port for imports in the United
States."
The evening before Carnaby was shot, a man approached Carnaby and two
friends at Houston's Capital Grille, a favorite meeting spot for
Houston's business elite. A man, pretending to be inebriated, went up to
Carnaby and acted as though he was an old friend. He was carrying an
open bag, the type in which "to go" food orders are usually placed.
Carnaby reportedly reached for his concealed handgun and told the man he
had never seen him or met him before. The man apologized, quickly left
the restaurant, and drove off in a car with diplomatic license plates.
Carnaby's associates now believe the man was assigned to the Israeli
Consulate General in Houston.
The I-Phone and Mac in Carnaby's possession were officially owned by
American Global Enterprise. Carnaby's American Global cover firm
operated a warehouse in the Houston port area, a reported center from
which traffic from the port into Mexico and outbound via the ship
channel was monitored. The actual security for the Port of Houston is
maintained not by the Houston Police Department but by the Harris County
Sheriff. The jurisdictional problems affected Carnaby's relationship
with both agencies. Whereas the Harris County Sheriff's office was
usually cooperative, the Houston Police was generally not as willing to
work on increasing the security of the port.
Carnaby's fear about lax port security was borne out when this editor
easily gained access through the main gate into the Port of Houston in a
rental car. Although containers in bound and out bound from the port are
x-rayed and checked for radioactive materials, the overall security is
poor and that prompted Carnaby into calling for a better HUMINT program.
However, better HUMINT would also result in the arms, drugs, and auto
theft activities of the Russian-Israeli mob, Israeli intelligence
assets, and their allies in the pro-Mojahedin e Khalq (MEK) Iranian
expatriate community in Houston being identified by federal authorities.
For example, WMR learned from US intelligence and customs agents that
the 1998 terrorist bombings of the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania had a Houston connections. The terrorist attacks
were blamed on Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. The two trucks used in the
two East Africa bombings were stolen vehicles that were shipped from
Houston via Guatemala. In addition, the bombs used passed though the
same Guatemalan smuggling route. In 1998, Israel's Mossad and
Guatemala's intelligence services continued to enjoy a close
relationship and the Central American nation's successive military
juntas could count on the support of the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) and other Israeli lobbying organizations in
Washington.
Carnaby also had under surveillance a widespread vehicle smuggling
ring that operated out of Houston, location of one of the largest
vehicle import port facilities in the United States. One of Carnaby's
law enforcement colleagues revealed that a network of body shops in
Houston have been used to strip and smuggle stolen vehicles out of the
United States, mostly to Mexico. Some of the theft operations operate
under cover of "import-export" businesses and one operation has
laundered $250 million in proceeds from the vehicle thefts. These
illegal enterprises have been linked to Middle East expatriates linked
to Israeli intelligence operations, including the Iranian MEK terrorist
group and far right Lebanese Phalangists allied with Israel who are
supported by the Israeli Lobby in Washington.
One of WMR's colleagues, German journalist Jurgen Cain Kulbel, has
been imprisoned in Berlin for reporting that the UN chief investigator
of the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri,
Detlev Mehlis, was once employed by the Israeli intelligence front
organization, Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP). Mehlis
steered UN investigators away from the real assassins of Hariri, Israeli
intelligence who hired a number of rogue agents from Syrian
intelligence, Lebanon's Druze and Christian Phalangist communities, and
Palestinian refugees. Kulbel's imprisonment is a direct result of
pressure from Washington and Jerusalem on the German government.
Some of Carnaby's associates were also critical of the security
contract for the Houston that involved ex-British commando Tim Spicer,
whose Aegis Defense Services, the recipient of a number of private
military contracts from the Defense Department and the former U.S.-run
Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq. Spicer, in 2002, managed to
convince Per Christiansen, a retired Norwegian naval officer whose
Hudson Maritime won a Homeland Security Department to secure various
American ports, including Houston, to bring him on as a partner. Thus
was born Hudson Trident (the Trident being Spicer's interest in the
firm). However, Spicer's work on Houston's port security was soon
criticized by the government, including Carnaby and his associates.
Spicer, who had previously received a port security contract in Haiti
around the time of the U.S.-sponsored coup against
democratically-elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a coup that saw
a number of weapons enter Haiti's ports illegally. Spicer's lack of
performance on the Houston port security contract soon saw him lose out
on similar port contracts for Morocco and Chittagong, Bangladesh,
according to sources with whom WMR spoke in Houston. A U.S. intelligence
source in Houston said, "Spicer fucked up the ship channel contract,"
adding, "this guy merely did plausible deniability work for MI6 and
MI5," Britain's foreign and domestic intelligence services,
respectively.
It is clear that a number of Carnaby and his intelligence colleagues
are skeptical about the "official version" of 9/11 and fear another such
attack, possibly during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. WMR can
also report that a close friend of former President George H. W. Bush
has taken a keen and supportive interest in our reports on the Carnaby
shooting. Bush is the honorary president of the Houston William Buckley
Chapter of AFIO, for which Carnaby served as president at the time of
his death. Carnaby was also close to the former President, who has
reportedly been outraged at the wanton killing of his friend. Carnaby
was also reportedly close to Republican presidential candidate John
McCain, who has made no public comment on the death of Carnaby.
----
Note: It is clear that WMR's reporting on the Carnaby shooting is
irritating certain "quarters," also known as the "usual suspects" and
the "amen corner." WMR's contacts with Carnaby's friends has resulted in
a number of other doors on "cold cases" being opened. They extend from
Dallas in November 1963, to the fate of the US merchant vessel "SS Poet"
in 1980, Mena, Arkansas and Nicaraguan contra drug smuggling in the
1980s, and the back doors used to corrupt the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and North American Defense Command (NORAD)
computers and networks on the morning of 9/11. WMR will continue to
report on these and other stories regardless of the pressure that is
being exerted, mostly not from the right-wing but from the usual
"left-wing" gatekeepers and their dubious web sites. The very same
gatekeepers who have been keeping the wool over the eyes of the American
people, most notably, since the events of 9/11.
