- A stunning admission was finally forced from the empire
of the New World Order s George Soros that, indeed, he had contributed
millions of dollars to the political campaigns of Alejandro Toledo Manrique
in Peru, included $1,000,000 specifically for Toledo s March from the Four
Winds that resulted in six dead and multi-million dollar damage to government
and private buildings and property (the specifics of these riots were the
subject of a previous Report).
-
- Smoking Fax Obtained from Toledo Camp Defector
-
- The admission came in the form of a fax from international
currency speculator Soros Open Society Institute in New York, issued by
Director Michael Vachon. The fax was intended to serve as a clarification
after Toledo (who had previously denied receiving money from foreign interests)
acknowledged receiving a million dollars from Soros specifically for the
July 26-27-28 2000 series of demonstrations and attacks in the heart of
Lima.
-
- Toledo s acknowledgement resulted from writer Alvaro
Vargas Llosa s defection for moral and ethical reasons from the Toledo
camp in view of what he termed conduct that left grave doubts about Toledo
s moral capability to govern.
-
- While Toledo has long been known as indecisive and inconsistent
as well as a pathological liar on the level of his former ally, exPresident
Clinton, new evidence of his machiavellian venality has recently rocked
the Peruvian political scene. The latest disclosures have shocked many
of his staunchest supporters.
-
- Cocaine & Orgies
-
- Neither revelations of his cocaine orgies with prostitutes,
nor his resort to corruption to avoid a paternity case have phased the
population, who were ready to believe his claims that these accusations
were part of a sinister campaign of dirty tricks to destroy his candidacy
as he attacked reporters who dared to question him. Not even his drunken
harrangue on the night of the 2001 election (managing to get barely one-third
of the vote) had a negative effect or disappointed his fans, who view him
as their kind of macho guy
-
- What did hurt, however, was his statement that Now I
have the press in my pocket , along with other evidence of his complete
disdain for the democratic process and the Peruvian electorate.
-
- The Telephone Deal
-
- Shortly after the April 8 election, Toledo made a deal
with Telefonica del Peru, subsidiary of the international conglomerate
Telefonica of Spain that controls most telephone and cable service in South
America. Just days before, Telefonica had faced two problems:
-
- 1. An investigation of $6,000,000 of bribes to politicians
in Argentina who supported higher telephone rates and
- 2. Populist demands (led by APRA candidate Alan Garcia
Perez and echoed ny Toledo during his election campaign) to reduce phone
rates in Peru.
- 3. Telefonica wanted to help Toledo see things their
way , so they arranged for the elimination of a news channel, CCN, (not
CNN) that had been critical of Toledo, and provided a pleasant all-expense
paid trip to Santo Domingo for Toledo and his entouage. This produced a
statement from Toledo that telephone rates in Peru were, after all, fair
and didn t need to be reduced further.
-
- Fun in the Sun
-
- The public was told that Toledo and his family had gone
to Ayacucho (Peru) for religious services, but his trip to Santo Domingo
during Holy Week was discovered. When information began to surface that
he was in Santo Domingo, there was initially panic from Toledo s people,
until his spin doctors learned that ex-President Clinton was also going
to Santo Domingo. Toledo s press releases suddenly indicated that Clinton
had summoned Toledo to Santo Domingo for an emergency meeting. Unfortunately,
his writers had misread the advance article about Clinton in the New York
Times and confused the dates of the supposed meeting.
-
- Joseph Maiman, George Soros, & The Peruvian Sol
-
- The original reason for concealing Toledo s meeting to
Santo Domingo was with one Joseph Maiman (a.k.a.Yosef, a.k.a. Josef), now
an Israeli citizen with his own background of financial manipulations,
arms deals, Russian conncected corruption, Mid-East intrigue and control
of international gas and oil projects. Toledo spoke at length with Maiman,
first asking him to try to purchase or otherwise take over Baruch Ivcher
s Frecuencia Latina, whose Channel Two had been giving Toledo some negative
press.
-
- Maiman, however, was more interested in another of Toledo
s proposals. Toledo was upset that after Garcia placed second in the election
(and requiring a runoff election), that the news had not generated more
financial panic than it deserved, considering that Garcia s previous government
(1985-1990) had featured disastrous inflation in Peru. Yet one week after
the election, the Peruvian New Sol was still unchanged and stable on the
currency markets. This indeed piqued Maiman s interest.
-
- The Monday following this meeting, a systematic attack
was begun from Switzerland and Israel against the Peruvian Sol and Peruvian
Brady bonds. This Bear market raid led to a 7% decline in the price of
Peruvian Bradys and a drop in the Sol from S/ 3.53 to 3.59 per US dollar.
-
- The success of the currency devaluation move helped Toledo
rise in the polls and inspired Toledo to try another tour of New York and
Washington, with an eye to tapping his old pal Soros for some more ready
cash.
-
- Readers of these reports will recall that the reasons
for Soros investments in Toledo were to take advantage of currency fluctuations
caused by Toledo s demonstrations, riots and inflamatory statements. When
Toledo, after pocketing a million in July alone, had hit on Soros for more
money in October of last year, he was turned down because Soros hadn t
gotten the desired result for his money.
-
- In other words, although the July 28 riots caused death
and destruction for the Peruvian people, there was no sharp change in the
Sol s rate of exchange. Soros history of currency manipulations is legion,
and he s been accustomed to winning as he had done in Peru in 1989 &1992,
in England in 1992, in Russia in 1996-7, and in Thailand in1997. But without
currency market fluctuations, there was no gain. Thus Toledo, having manipulated
a 2% drop in the Sol, felt George would give him more money to create furhter
destabilization of the Sol
-
- Boastful as ever, Toledo boldly announced last Sunday
that he would engage in a series of meetings with the heads of 35 US banks,
President George W Bush, and Secretary of State Adam (sic) Powell, among
others. He missed the mark somewhat, but he did manage to speak to old
friends at Amnesty International, Carter s NWO front organization the National
Democratic Institute, spoke to a group of tourists at the National Press
Club and even went on a tour of the White House, but Soros US diector,
Miguel Vivanco, told him that the cupboard was bare and no further funds
were available.
-
- Toledo addressed some eight or nine functionaries of
financial institutions, during which he promised to increase privatizations,
especially of Sedepal, the state water utility, and to pay all foreign
debt in a timely manner. Those attending were both impressed and relieved.
Luckily, they had not heard Toledo s discourses in Lima just ten days earlier
in which he swore to end privatizations, to never to privatize water, and
to immediately halt payment on 20% of all outstanding foreign debt.
-
- What happened with the money raised (a total of over
$1,600,000 dollars from foreign sources) for Toledo s March from the Four
Winds demonstration? Among those most surprised to learn of the large amount
of money Toledo had raised were the ten to twenty thousand Peruvians who
actually supported this demonstration. They not only paid their own way,
but also contributed heavily to cover their expenses. Now they were asking
What about me? What about my bus fare? The estimated total spent for this
march (the five thousand people who came from outside Lima were lodged
in tents and were fed in communal kitchens, with the Rimac River serving
as their sanitation facility) is around $60,000, including bus fare from
those provinces.
-
- The final tally spent was $60,000 spent and $1.6 million
raised. So, what happened to the rest of the money? Part of the answer
is that much of the funds were transferred to the United States under the
names of various Toledo family members. Unemployed nephew Jorge Toledo,
who lives in Toledo s million dollar compound in La Molina, and accompanies
him on most trips (including the recent excursion to the US) and deposited
over $500,000 cash in Weise-Sudameris Bank, Camacho Branch on June 13,
2000; with a further $200,000 cash deposit on September 29. Funds were
transferred to an account in Jorge s name at First Union Bank in Charlotte,
NC (US) on August 12, August 17 and September 30, 2000. $200,000 each day
for a total of $600,000 in just this one bank. This is exclusive of the
funds obtained from Soros.
-
- The Soros money, according to Toledo spokesman Carlos
Bruce, was transferred into Peru in small amounts going into phantom accounts
using aliases and co-operative straw men. Funds were then withdrawn and
laundered through other accounts, and subsequently used for their intended
purpose. But since these funds came from Soros Open Society Institute in
New York, these machinations and the whole transfer plan are clearly in
violation of US, N.Y. and Peruvian banking laws.
-
- The more that becomes known about Toledo, the one-time
Haight-Ashbury party animal, the more he looks like a loser. He now refuses
to speak to the press, insists that any debates should be between advisors,
and not candidates (comedians have said, "First the chauffeurs will
debate, then the bodyguards, then the cooks, etc.). After polling 36% in
a largely uncontested election (less than his 42% in the supposedly fraudulent
election of 2000), his 38% in current polls is singularly unimpressive,
especially considering the millions of dollars and the two years spent
in campaigning. Alan Garcia Perez, who ran the country during a staggering
2,000,000% inflation period and was impotent against terrorists and drug
lords, is currently polling 32% after a nine-week low-budget campaign.
It seems that Al Gore s not the only one who lost out after Clinton left
office.
