133970311.Pdf The Crimes of Patriots will reveal how an obscure Australian bank, Nugan Hand Ltd., came to occupy the central position in a vast network of drug transactions, fraud, secret arms deals, and covert intelligence operations. "The Crimes of Patriots is a masterpiece, pulling together previously unavailable documentation in a most creative way and—through Kwitny's original research— addressing the crucial questions to the most mysterious collection of intelligence hands ever caught in a single scandal. The answers Kwitny gathers and the new questions he raises are a roadmap for a major Congressional investigation yet to come." —Scott Armstrong "As this book so clearly demonstrates, Jonathan Kwitny is a peerless investigative reporter." —Peter Maas "There is a secret government in America. It operates with the explicit and implied authority of the highest officials, and in the name of America's interests it has inflicted great damage on the unsuspecting peoples of other countries and on our own fundamental principles... I wish everyone would read The Crimes of Patriots. Perhaps then the current hearings on the Iran-Contra affair—for Ronald Reagan is the latest to wield this secret weapon and to perish by it—will be the last. An informed people might become an outraged people and finally put a stop to our own self-destruction. If so, we will owe much to Jonathan Kwitny's reporting." —Bill Moyers "It is unusual to commend a book of investigative journalism that leaves some questions unanswered, but Jonathan Kwitny's account of the Nugan Hand affair transcends ordinary journalism. The Crimes of Patriots is the story of a reporter at work trying to balance issues of criminality and national security, and Kwitny left me with the sense that no one could have done it better." —Seymour Hersh "This is a superbly researched and exceptionally well-told story." —John Kenneth Galbraith "Jonathan Kwitny is the John Le Carre of nonfiction crime. Sometimes when I was wallowing in The Crimes of Patriots I burst out laughing (perversely) because the kings of this complicated idyl are such shameless rogues. Is there no limit to their white-collar mischief? Kwitny has raised the question again, as only he can." —Robert Sherrill The Crimes of Patriots is the story behind the story revealed in the Iran-contra inves- tigation. It is a chilling glimpse into the workings of the secret government that has operated ruthlessly in this country and around the world for the last forty years, unchecked, answerable only to itself. It is a masterpiece of investigative journalism that reveals the sordid truths shrouded within the "national security interest." A rifle blast blows off the head of an Australian banker in his Mercedes—and a tale of the whole Cold War begins to unravel. The death of Frank Nugan exposes the massive fraud at the heart of his empire, the Nugan Hand Bank; but it also exposes the real power of the bank—a network of U.S. generals, admirals, and CIA men, including a former director of that organization. As the colorful story of the Nugan Hand Bank unfolds, we learn that there have been many similar operations. Patterns and eerie resonances emerge, and the names of those who later masterminded the Iran-contra fiasco lurk in the shadows cast by Nugan Hand: Clines, Shackley, Secord. We are slowly brought to a greater truth. In his last book, Endless Enemies, Jonathan Kwitny showed how our anti-communist based foreign policy undermines American security. Here he exposes at last the crimes committed against American citizens in pursuit of that policy. He shows how some of the biggest names in American defense and intelligence were involved in an operation that promoted the dope trade, tax evasion, and gun running, and swindled American citizens, and citizens of allied countries, out of millions of dollars. Kwitny lays out a mystery filled with questions whose answers—so far—have stayed locked in the U.S. government's vault of secrets. JONATHAN KWITNY, a Wall Street Journal reporter for sixteen years, is one of America's foremost journalists and holds the honor medal for career achievement from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. His reporting exposed former Reagan adviser Richard Allen's conflicts of interest, and forced the resignation of Lynn Helms, Reagan's Federal Aviation administrator. This is Jonathan Kwitny's sixth book. His fifth, Endless Enemies: The Making of an Unfriendly World, was runner- up for the Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction in 1985. Mr. Kwitny has lived or traveled in more than ninety countries. A native of Indianapolis, he works from the Journal's New York bureau. Author's Note for The Crimes of Patriots For five years prior to the publication of this book, the author tried repeatedly and fruitlessly to interview and obtain comment from Richard Secord, Theodore Shackley, and Thomas Clines, former high federal officials connected to Edwin Wilson, the traitor and convicted death merchant. Some of these efforts are described in the book. At the eleventh hour, as books were sitting on the warehouse loading docks waiting to be shipped to bookstores, Clines, Shackley, and Secord's lawyer, Thomas Green, contacted the publisher, stating that they had obtained a proof copy of the book and alleged that there were numerous errors in it. I have reviewed these specifics, along with my own sources, and I find that the men were, on the whole, treated fairly. As usually happens, comment from the subjects being written about did reveal a few erroneous details and conflicting versions of events. — J.K. August 12, 1987 Chapter 20 P. 291, line 25: "reported to" should read "gave reports to." Chapter 22 p. 310, lines 23-24: "Secord...in disaster" should read "Secord was involved in planning the disastrous mission to rescue U. S. hostages in Iran, and was deputy commander of a second rescue plan which was never implemented." P. 311, lines 10-11: "paid...illegal profits" should read "and was identified as part of a criminal scheme. The holding company Clines was associated with paid a $10,000 fine and $100,000 in civil settlements, and the operational company he had formerly been co-owner of repaid $3 million of the illegal profits." P. 312, line 5: change "it" to "the mission." P. 312, line 36: add "Apparently, the deal never produced any sales." P. 379, lines 3-4: "Clines...company," should read "Clines's various companies paid." P. 379, line 21: "didn't come up" should read "was never satisfactorily answered."

The Agency's Assets 362 APPENDIX: The Questions Whose Answers Are Secret 382 AFTERWORD by Admiral Earl P. Yates, USN (ret.) 391 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 398 INDEX 401 Photographs appear following page 198 For some time I have been disturbed by the way [the] CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational arm and at times a policy-making arm of the Government. This has led to trouble and may have compounded our difficulties in several explosive areas. I never had any thought when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations. Some of the complications and embarrassments that I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the President has been so removed from its intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue—and a subject for Cold War enemy propaganda. With all the nonsense put out by Communist propaganda about "Yankee imperialism," "exploitive capitalism," "war-mongering," "monopolists" in their name- calling assault on the West, the last thing we needed was for the CIA to be seized upon as something akin to a subverting influence in the affairs of other people. But there are now some searching questions that need to be answered. I, therefore, would like to see the CIA be restored to its original assignment as the intelligence arm of the President, and whatever else it can properly perform in that special field, and that its operational duties be terminated or properly used elsewhere. We have grown up as a nation, respected for our free institutions and for our ability to maintain a free and open society. There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historical position, and I feel that we need to correct it. —HARRY S. TRUMAN, December 22, 1963 In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipotent, teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If government becomes a lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law: it invites every man to become a law unto himself.

  • Malaysia 2019 Human Rights Report
    MALAYSIA 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy. It has a parliamentary system of government selected through regular, multiparty elections and is headed by a prime minister. The king is the head of state, serves a largely ceremonial role, and has a five-year term. Sultan Muhammad V resigned as king on January 6 after serving two years; Sultan Abdullah succeeded him that month. The kingship rotates among the sultans of the nine states with hereditary rulers. In 2018 parliamentary elections, the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition defeated the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, resulting in the first transfer of power between coalitions since independence in 1957. Before and during the campaign, then opposition politicians and civil society organizations alleged electoral irregularities and systemic disadvantages for opposition groups due to lack of media access and malapportioned districts favoring the then ruling coalition. The Royal Malaysian Police maintain internal security and report to the Ministry of Home Affairs. State-level Islamic religious enforcement officers have authority to enforce some criminal aspects of sharia. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces. Significant human rights issues included: reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; reports of torture; arbitrary detention; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; reports of problems with

Walaupun hanya melibatkan penduduk Pasir Puteh, isu penentangan adalah untuk mempertahankan agama Islam dan hak penduduk tempatan berlaku di tengah-tengah kancah pergolakan politik yang berlaku di Eropah. Penentangan ini merupakan cetusan kebangkitan masyarakat Islam sedunia terhadap penjajah Barat yang menakluki negara Islam. Penglibatan empayar Uthmaniyah dalam Perang Dunia Pertama di Eropah mempengaruhi kebangkitan Tok Janggut. Penentangan yang memperjuangkan agama ini kemudiannya dikaitkan dengan isu cukai yang dikenakan serta sikap membenci British. British berwaspada terhadap sokongan orang Melayu terhadap empayar Uthmaniyah yang terlibat dalam Perang Dunia Pertama kerana orang Melayu menganggap khalifah empayar Uthmaniyah sebagai pelindung umat Islam serta penaung bagi tanah suci Mekah dan Madinah.

It was evident that the embryonic bank had been outlaying far more money than it was earning: It became very clear to me that Nugan Hand had the trappings of a bank, but it was so much window dressing.

  • The Abolition of Indian Indentured Migration to Mauritius C. Bates, M
    The abolition of Indian Indentured Migration to Mauritius C. Bates, M. Carter & V. Govinden ABSTRACT The passing of a bill in 1917 in the Indian Legislative Council to abolish the use of contracts of indenture to recruit Indian migrants to work overseas has been hailed as a great achievement for Indian nationalists, helping to raise the status of Indians overseas, and improving the working lives of Indian labourers. However, there was a large gap between the passage of this bill and its implementation, which has been overlooked by historians. In Mauritius, the last ship carrying indentured workers arrived as late as 1924 and the last contract of indenture did not expire until 1929. The delay was justified in terms of allowing employers time to ‘adjust’ to the new ‘freer’ labour market conditions. In practice, this adjustment had already begun two decades earlier. Falling sugar prices and the growth of the settled population on Mauritius, had already led to a dramatic reduction in the number of indentured workers being recruited from India compared with the hey-days of sugar in the nineteenth century. Time- expired labourers and their descendants working on short or informal contracts had become the back-bone of the economy. In successive years in the 1900s no migrant ships set sail at all for Mauritius and a growing proportion of Indians who did arrive in the late 19th and early 20th century were traveling as ‘free passengers’. Indians had already found their niche within the economy and rather than look to the colonial government for recognition and enfranchisement, were busy enfranchising themselves.

It looks at the co-operation between Special Operations Australia, Special Operations Executive of Britain and the US Officeof Strategic Services and their actions with and against each other during the Pacific War. Based on hithertounused archival sources, it argues that the cancellation of 'Kingfisher' - and the failure to rescue the Sandakan prisoners - can be explained by the motivations, decisions and actions of particular British officers in the interplay of the wartime alliance. The politics of wartime alliances played out at both the level of grand strategy but also in interaction between officers within the planning headquarters in the Southwest Pacific Area, with severe implications for those most directly affected.
