Vince Foster Was White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster selling US secrets to Israel? The CIA suspects he was. TWO weeks before his death on July 20, 1993, White House Deputy Counsel Vincent W. Foster went into a deep funk. The official cause of death, given by former Independent Counsel Robert Fiske Jr. (who was later replaced by Kenneth Starr), was suicide driven by depression over, among other things, several newspaper editorials. But Vince Foster had a much bigger and darker reason to be seriously burned out. He had just learned he was under investigation for espionage. Outrageous? To say the least. But a lengthy investigation has located over a dozen sources with connections to the intelligence community who confirm a shocking story of money laundering and espionage connected to the highest levels of the White House. Without grants of immunity, the sources risk going to prison for violation of the National Security Act. Virtually all have demanded anonymity. According to a veteran Central Intelligence Agency operative close to the Foster investigation, Fosters first indication of trouble came when he inquired about his coded bank account at Banca Della Svizzera Italiana in Chiasso, Switzerland and found the account empty. Foster was shocked to learn from the bank that someone using his secret authorization code had withdrawn all $2.73 million he had stashed there and had moved it to, of all places, the U.S. Treasury. Then, according to credit card records reviewed by a private investigator who has revealed them, Foster canceled the two-day round-trip TWA and Swiss Air plane tickets to Geneva he had purchased on his American Express card through the White House travel office on July 1. Discreetly he began asking what was afoot, says the CIA source, confirming that someone in the White House tipped him off. It was bad news. The CIA had Foster under serious investigation for leaking high-security secrets to the State of Israel. For months, a small cadre of CIA computer hackers known as the Fifth Column, armed with a Cray supercomputer, had been monitoring Fosters Swiss account. They had located it by tracking money flows from various Israeli government accounts after finding Fosters name while secretly snooping through the electronic files of Israels Mossad. Then by snooping through the bank files, they gathered all the information needed to withdraw the money. Foster was just one of the first of scores of high level U.S. political figures to thus have their secret Swiss accounts looted of illicit funds, according to both this veteran CIA source and a separate source in another intelligence agency. Over the past two years, they say, more than $2 billion has been swept out of offshore bank accounts belonging to figures connected to the U.S. government with nary a peep from the victims or their banks. The claim that Foster and other U.S. figures have had offshore accounts has been confirmed by a separate high-ranking CIA source and another in the Department of Justice. Various sources, some of them controversial, have contributed other pieces to this puzzle. Whatever their motivations, those sources have proven remarkably consistent. Their stories jibe well with known facts and offer a most plausible explanation for Fosters mysterious depression. It would also explain Washing-tons determined effort to dismiss the Foster affair as a tragic but simple suicide. Vince Foster a spy? Actually, it is much worse than that, if the CIAs suspicions are confirmed by the ongoing foreign counterintelligence probe. He would have been an invaluable double agent with potential access to not only high-level political information, but also to sensitive code, encryption and data transmission secrets, the stuff by which modern war is won or lost. That is because for many years, according to nine separate current and former U.S. law enforcement or intelligence officials, Foster had been a behind-the-scenes manager of a key support company in one of the biggest, most secretive spy efforts on record, the silent surveillance of banking transactions both here and abroad. This bank snooping effort began in earnest soon after Ronald Reagan became president in 1981. Its primary aim was to track the money behind international terrorist groups and soon came to be dubbed, Follow the money, according to the originator of the program Norman A. Bailey. Now a private Washington consultant on international banking, Bailey was an economist and Reagan advisor on the National Security Counsel. It was Baileys idea to begin using powerful new computer and electronic eavesdropping technologies then emerging to let the intelligence community monitor the previously confidential flow of bank wire transfers. This was no small task; more than $1 trillion a day moves through New York alone. _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Classic Radio _______ FB: r-js/1vz7Pcz / TW: r-js/1kHd2Qt / Listen to LIPSapp Classic Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #classicrock #rollingstones #ledzeppelin #santana #eagles #zztop #thewho #beatles #elvis #jimihendrix #dylan #acdc #michaeljackson #pinkfloyd #madonna #u2
