White House Invites Wanted Jewish Oligarchs for Breakfast with Bush

 Two wanted Jewish oligarchs will enjoy "prayer breakfast" with Bush. Most
likely, they will pray that they never end up in the hands of the Russians 

Two of Russia's most wanted fugitives were invited to Washington for a
'prayer breakfast' with President George Bush in defiance of international
arrest warrants. The two Jewish oligarchs were promised by US officials that
they would not be extradited to Russia. After being assured that they would
not face Russian justice, Mikhail Brudon and Vladimir Dubov flew in from
Israel on Wednesday. 

Over a year ago, the two fled to Israel. They were wanted by Russian
prosecutors for charges similar to those against Yukos CEO Mikhail
Khodorkovsy, who was sent to prison in October 2003. Brudon and Dubov are
both major shareholders in the company. Both oligarchs have been granted
citizenship by Israel. They were invited to Washington by Republican
Representative Tom Lantos, who is a major Russophobe in the capital.

Upset that Khodorkovsky couldn't make the breakfast due to 'prior
arrangements,' Lantos decided that two lesser Jewish oligarchs could take
the place of Russia's richest Jewish oligarch. Lenoid Nevzlin, another
wanted Yukos shareholder, was also invited. Nevzlin, Brudno, and Dubov fled
Russia after seeing the writing on the wall with Khodorkovsky's arrest. 

Dubov and Brudno only agreed to bless President Bush with their presence
after being assured that the US government would ignore the Interpol warrant
for their arrests. When asked what he is going to do next, Brudno said that
he will return 'home' to Israel. 

Other criminals wanted by Russia the 'West' refuses to hand over are
Vladimir Gusinsky, Boris Berezovsky, and Chechen terrorist spokesman Akhmed
Zakyaev. All three have been granted amnesty in order to protect them from
Russian justice.

Bush Family Business 
Financed By Israeli 
Oligarch's Ill-Gotten Gains 
By Christopher Bollyn
American Free Press
10-18-5
 
Neil Bush, brother of the U.S. president, is a business partner with the
exiled oligarch Boris Berezovsky, an Israeli citizen wanted in Russia on
charges of fraud. 
  
During a September 22 visit to Latvia, Neil Bush, the brother of U.S.
President George W. Bush, appeared with his business partner, the fugitive
Russian oligarch and Israeli citizen, Boris Berezovsky. Berezovsky's
appearance in Riga with the brother of the U.S. president caused significant
consternation for the Latvian government due to Russian demands for his
extradition on charges of fraud. 
  
Neil Bush first came to national attention when he was disgraced during the
Silverado Savings and Loan scandal, which occurred during his father's
presidency. Federal regulators discovered "multiple conflicts of interest"
in Bush's dealings as a board member of Silverado, which failed in 1988,
costing U.S. taxpayers $1.3 billion. 
  
Russia requested Berezovsky's extradition when he arrived in Riga. Latvia's
general prosecutor, however, refused to extradite Berezovksy claiming that
since he has asylum status in Britain, a member state of the European Union,
he could not be handed over to Russia. 
  
After the Bush-Berezovsky visit, Prime Minister Aigars Kalvitis said that
Berezovsky should be barred from entering Latvia because he posed a "threat"
to security. President Vaira Vike-Freiberga reportedly supports banning the
billionaire exile from future visits to Latvia. 
  
The Moscow Times reported recently that Berezovsky's investment in Bush's
Austin, Texas-based company, Ignite, Inc., links him with a well-connected
group of former and current shareholders such as former President George
H.W. Bush and major Asian and Middle East financiers. Filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission indicate that Bush's company raised $7.1
million from 53 investors in 2001. 
  
Ignite's main product is an classroom projector device of dubious
educational value called "The COW" (Curriculum On Wheels), which contains
software which replaces traditional textbooks by projecting cartoon images
designed "to deliver lessons in the same way professional presenters do." 
  
In the past few months, Berezovsky has helped Bush promote his company in
countries of the former Soviet Union that are no longer within Moscow's
sphere of influence, including Ukraine, Georgia, and most recently, Latvia. 
  
Berezovsky said his investment in Bush's firm was just business and an
investment in an area he had always been interested in. Declining to
disclose the size of his investment, Berezovsky said: "I invested in the
company because I think that it is doing the right thing. I had no other
aims for making this investment. If the company had not been owned by Bush,
I would have invested in another that was doing the same thing." 
  
A comment from Berezovsky suggests he was asked to invest in the Bush family
firm. "When I received the offer to invest, I sent specialists to look at
what the company was doing and they approved," Berezovsky said. 
  
Berezovsky said he has been unable to obtain a visa to travel to the United
States to discuss his business ventures with Neil Bush. 
  
"He [Bush] asked me to think about possible projects in the regions that I
know about," The Moscow Times reported Berezovsky saying about Bush's plans
for the company he founded in 1999. "I've known this region for a long time.
The CIS is my area of expertise." 
  
Berezovsky, described as "a former Kremlin king-maker," served as executive
secretary of the Commonwealth of Independent States under former President
Boris Yeltsin. Berezovsky's fortunes changed after Vladimir Putin was
elected in 2000 and he became an enemy of the Kremlin. 
  
"For Putin, it must be a very sore point that the brother of his friend has
some kind of business with Berezovsky," said Vladimir Pribylovsky, the head
of Panorama, a Russian political think tank. 
  
Berezovsky was one of the chief oligarchs in Russia who acquired massive
wealth by taking control of the Soviet Union's state assets after the fall
of communism. Berezovsky owned several banks and TV stations in Russia when
he was accused of defrauding a regional government of $13 million. In 2000,
he fled the country and moved to London, where he now lives under the name
Platon Elenin. 
  
"Berezovsky is one of seven 'oligarchs,' as they are known both inside and
outside Russia: massively rich, powerful manipulators who through violence,
theft and corruption acquired a mammoth percentage (reports range from 70 to
85 percent) of Russia's resources, from its oil to the auto industry to mass
media outlets," Alison Weir, executive director of If Americans Knew, a
website focusing on U.S. involvement with Israel and Palestine, wrote in her
article, "Russia, Israel and Media Omissions." 
  
Using their ill-gotten and extraordinary financial resources and insider
dealing, the oligarchs gained control over much of Russia's political
apparatus. 
  
"The oligarchs handpicked prime ministers and governmental leaders and
barely even bothered to do this behind the scenes," Weir wrote. 
  
Almost all of the Russian oligarchs have significant ties to Israel. In
fact, Berezovsky has Israeli citizenship, a fact that caused a scandal of
Watergate proportions in Russia in 1996 when it was exposed by a Russian
newspaper. 
  
Berezovsky's Israeli citizenship and the oligarchs' connections to Israel
are widely known in Russia and Israel. In Israel there is even a popular
Israeli TV series called "The Oligarchs." 
  
"Some of its episodes," Israeli writer Uri Avnery wrote in an article by the
same name, "are simply unbelievable or would have been, if they had not come
straight from the horses' mouths: the heroes of the story, who gleefully
boast about their despicable exploits. The series was produced by Israeli
immigrants from Russia." 
  
"This is a TV series about Russia," Avnery wrote. "But it could have been
about Israel - or about the United States. 
  
"The 'oligarchs' are a tiny group of entrepreneurs who exploited the
disintegration of the Soviet system to loot the treasures of the state and
to amass plunder amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. In order to
safeguard the perpetuation of their business, they took control of the
state. Six out of the seven are Jews," Avnery wrote in his August 2004
article. 
  
"In popular parlance they are called 'oligarchs' - from the Greek word
meaning 'rule of the few.' 
  
"In the first years of post-Soviet Russian capitalism they were the bold and
nimble ones who knew how to exploit the economic anarchy in order to acquire
enormous possessions for a hundredth or a thousandth of their value: oil,
natural gas, nickel and other minerals. They used every possible trick,
including cheating, bribery and murder. Every one of them had a small
private army. In the course of the series they are proud to tell in great
detail how they did it," Avnery wrote. 
  
"But the most intriguing part of the series recounts the way they took
control of the political apparatus. After a period of fighting each other,
they decided that it would be more profitable for them to cooperate in order
to take over the state." 
  
Finis 
  
"Berezovsky boasts that he caused the war in Chechnya, in which tens of
thousands have been killed and a whole country devastated. He was interested
in the mineral resources and a prospective pipeline there. In order to
achieve this he put an end to the peace agreement that gave the country some
kind of independence. The oligarchs dismissed and destroyed Alexander Lebed,
the popular general who engineered the agreement, and the war has been going
on since then."
