Orlin Grabbe is a world class authority on banking, international finance, and >>electronic funds transfers. Dr. Grabbe has a PHD from Harvard in economics. >>Grabbe taught finance at the prestigious Wharton School of Economics. His >>book "International Financial Markets" is standard text in American universities >>and graduate business schools. Orlin Grabbe has acted as a consultant for one >>of the world's largest banks - Barclay's, and for the Philadelphia Stock exchange. >> >>So why does a wealthy businessman and credentialed scholar like J. Orlin Grabbe >>publish a series of articles brashly and unabashedly declaring that Montana's >>popular Republican governor is about to be indicted for duplicity in a >>narcotics operation linked to the Cali-Medellin cartel and FBI agents in Montana ? >> >>Orlin Grabbe became involved with the James Norman account of a group of CIA >>operatives, "The Fifth Column", associated with the use of the PROMIS software who >>were investigating the flow of money from the drug cartel to American politicians. >>In private conversations Grabbe advises that illegal payoffs were received by >>Montana Governor Marc Racicot. The payoffs were to allow huge drug shipments >>through Montana from Canada. Grabbe further advises that accounts in the Norwest >>Bank - Montana's largest banking system had been accessed. Grabbe further advises >>that a joint CIA/DEA investigation had solicited the Fifth Column's services. >> >> >>On June 17th,1996 Orlin Grabbe published the following regarding the >>situation in Montana in an essay "Some Observations on the Non-News", >> "Freeh is coming off the PR high of having ended the Freeman seige >> in Montana without bloodshed. But the problems in Montana aren't over. >> There is the little matter of FBI agents involved in drug dealing. >> The Montana border is now the principal point of entry of >> illegal drugs coming into the U.S. Montana is awash in them. A series >> of clandestine airfields stretches across the state. Naturally the journalists >> covering the Freemen picked up none of this bigger story right >> under their noses. Big names are involved in the drug operation, >> including the soon to-be- indicted governor of Montana. Another name >> that surfaces in the Montana operation is that of ex-president George >> Bush." >>Grabbe's article spread like wildfire throughout the country and on the Internet. >>It came shortly after a Sofia Bulgaria intelligence journal and the fledgling >>"Free Speech Newspaper" from Phoenix came under fire from Racicot's >>Montana Governor's Office for publishing similar parallel reports. >> >>The timing of the Grabbe article also came after the June Montana Republican >>primary, when incumbent Marc Racicot had overwhelmed his rival Rob Natalson of >>Missoula. >> >>Before the elections Natalson's staff had received copies of the Free Speech >>Newspaper expose article on Racicot and supporting private investigators reports >>and affidavits. Despite the urging of his staff, Natalson refused to bring up >>the ethics questions which were raised. >> >> >>On the days prior to the primary Free Speech Newspaper publisher Bryan Brazil >> claims to have received frantic late night calls from candidate Racicot. The calls >>vacillated from threats, to offers of $10,000 for information as to the identity of >>the Bozeman attorney he believed was circulating the newspapers. Editor Ron >>Paulson also received Racicot calls as well. The two men claim they were so >>intimidated that they shut down the business. Within weeks Paulson, deeply >>disturbed, began to drink and attempted to suicide several times. >> >>The Montana Governor's Office let it be known that Mark Racicot would sue >>any persons posting articles on the Internet implicating him in drug traffick. >>The Governor obtained a suspicious friendly article published in Darby and Sidney >>which discredited his accusers. But confidential sources in Helena confirmed that >>the Governor was "deeply agitated" by the reports. This was understandable because >>a savagely damaging report by Phoenix private investigator Mike Roe confirmed drug >>dealing and official misconduct by several attorneys close to Racicot in Sidney >>and Chinook was in fact a reality. Roe claimed his sources in the >>Montana Justice Department confirmed Marc Racicot spiked >>criminal investigations in those two small towns. >> >>Then again on July 17th Orlin Grabbe published another essay "The Clinton Crises" >>which referred again to the Montana drug scandal: >> "As I noted in "Some Observations on the Non-News", the Mena operation has >> been largely shifted to Montana, (and was true in Arkansas) the state >> governor has a hand in the business. In recent days Montana Republican >> governor Marc Racicot has been out demanding that anyone who has implied he >> was in any way involved in drug dealing retract their statements. Well >> Mr Racicot, if I were governor I would shut my own mouth, since you will >> undoubtably find it a less unpleasant experience when the ton of shit I smell >> coming lands on your head.....Nor would it surprise anyone >> to see FBI agents indicted in Montana and New Orleans for involvement in >> drug trafficking. Louis Freeh, who explained the errant use of his files >> as abuse of the FBI by the white house will perhaps now explain the >> errant use of his agents as abuse of the FBI by the Cali cartel." >>A similar quote appeared days later in the August issue of Media Bypass by CIA >>operative Col. Charles Hayes, >> "No one in the press reported about the hugh influx of narcotics into that >> state.{Montana} It would not surprise me nor anyone in the federal government >> if in the near future the Governor of Montana is indicted for complicity in >> this activity." >>As soon as the Media Bypass article hit the street Marc Racicot's lawyer contacted >>the magazine's offices - but the publication did not retract Col Hayes' statement. >> >> >>Thereafter Chicago researcher Sherman Skolnick published a report indicating >>President Bill Clinton had been confronted at the Whitehouse by a group of high >>ranking Democrats demanding that Clinton resign from office. One of the reasons >>cited by the controversial Skolnick was the "Montana drug scandal". In August, >>the Skolnick report sounded goofy to almost everybody. >> >> >>But in Montana, Chinook Opinion editor Mike Perry picked up on the >>accounts - corresponded with Grabbe, and ran two editorials raising the ethics >>issues again. The editorials circulated far and wide in Montana as the November >>elections approached. Bootleg copies of the Grabbe and Skolnick articles, >>as well as Chinook Opinion editorials , and a translation of the >>Bulgarian Confidential article flooded the state. By late October the Skolnick >>account and rumors of the sealed indictments handed down by grand juries in >>Arkansas and Washington of Hillary Rodham Clinton were on national mainstream >>news broadcasts. >> >>Enough interest had been generated by the articles that Democrat Chet Blaylock >>had his campaign staffer Greg Conlin investigate the story. Five days prior to >>his death the Blaylock campaign offices contacted Grabbe's business in Reno. >>Chet Blaylock died unexpectedly in transit to debate Marc Racicot in Missoula. >>It is unclear if candidate Blaylock intended to raise the drug issues in the >>debates. Both President Clinton and Marc Racicot were elected by wide margins. >> >>After the elections Grabbe confirmed the full account of the meeting between >>the key Democrats and Clinton (which included the resignation demand, apparently >>confirming the Montana drug scandal as one of the reasons). Simultaneously, much >>of Clinton's cabinet and closest advisors resigned. The CIA released formerly >>classified documents which indicated that Vince Foster had worked with >>super-sophisticated software designed to monitor electronic banking transfers. >>Grabbe revealed that the enigmatic Charles Hayes was in fact the long time >>supervisor of Bill Clinton during the early years when Clinton was first recruited >>to work for the CIA. The New York Post released news that an FBI agent in Bogota >>was under investigation for having sold the full 200,000 files (including Montana >>files) in the rival DEA database to the Cali cartel. Indictments targeting Cali >>cartel influence of government officials and FBI agents were said to be imminent >>in Biloxi Mississippi. In Montana, observers remarked how Marc Racicot continued >>to be deeply worried and withdrawn. >> >>If Grabbe's reports prove accurate all of Montana has been betrayed. A series of >>drug related killings has been explained - and an explanation is had for why >>investigations were spiked. If our Governor is indicted and convicted of >>involvement or support of the drug cartel we must call for the death penalty. >>We must make a statement for future generations that this Montana catastrophy >>does not happen again. We must compensate the victems and strengthen the things >>that remain. If Grabbe's reports prove accurate we in Montana are at a time of >>sorrow, mourning and most profound anger. If Grabbe's reports prove accurate >>as many as 35 Montana State represenatives and Senators who have previously >>discussed the matter are inclined to institute impeachment proceedings based >>on the Roe Report and other documents. >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >>-> Send "subscribe snetnews " to majordomo@world.std.com >>-> Posted by: lawmk@cyber1.cyberhall.com >> >> >
