acters since the end of World War II. ONI worked with the U.S.

Italian Mafia, including S. C. Luciana, a.k,a. Lucky Luciano, to

fight communism in Italy, gather intelligence for the Allied

Invasion of Sicily, and control the ports in the U. S. during

wartime. After Luciano was pardoned from jail for his work with

ONI (and CIA precursor, the Office of Strategic Services), he

went back to Italy and became a kingpin in the heroin trade.

Around this time, ONI also worked with Chinese mafia to take

control of the opiate trade, helping to form the "Golden Triangle"

which traded heroin and various forms of currency and contraband

between Thailand/Burma, Laos/Vietnam, and China's

. office, Clinton pardoned him. Israel's then-Prime Minister Ehud

Barak had called Clinton the night before asking for the pardon

and stating it was "important ...financially'?"

Back in 1993, in Switzerland, Wanta says he had orders to

arrest Rich, and, if that failed, to assassinate him. According to

the story from both Vreeland and Wanta, the ONI had snipers

nearby when Wanta and Rich were on a ferry to a casino in

France, traveling across Lake Geneva from Lausanne. The

sniper from ONI couldn't get a clear shot off, and was told to

stand down. According to their story, that sniper was Delmart

Vreeland.6a

Something went awry after Switzerland. Three weeks later,

Vince Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park, just outside

DC in Arlington, VA. The death was swiftly ruled a suicide by

the park police, despite theiz.paltrg.experience with suicide

investigations. (And as I'll point out below, the anomalies in

Foster's death were glossed over by future 9/11 Commissioner

Richard Ben-Veniste, and future Director of Homeland Security

Michael Chertoff.)

The day prior to the discovery of Vince Foster's body, FBI

director William Sessions WaSfired. His temporary replacement,

Floyd Clarke, let the bumbling park police run the non-investigation

of Foster's death, despite the vict!~being the First

Lady's best friend and confidante. Sessions later stated outright

that Clarke believes he was fired to hamper a Foster death

investigation. Three independent criminal evidence experts

hired by Strategic Investor newsletter studied the Foster suicide

note and declared it a forgery.

Wanta was arrested by Swiss authorities and deported on

the flimsy pretext of State of Wisconsin tax evasion charges.

Wanta was extradited without a warrant and flown from

Switzerland in leg, arm, and neck shackles. 'I'he Wisconsin prosecutor

levied tax evasion charges for 1989 through 1991,

although Wanta had not lived in the U.S. since 1985. He was

convicted and imprisoned after a swift trial, despite the fact that

the IRS stated he did not owe any federal taxes from the same

period.

When Wanta's case came before Wisconsin court in

Madison, there was outright ridicule of him in the media.

Dennis Ullman, the lead tax collection agent for Wisconsin on

the case, was friendly with Cliff Miller of the Appleton Post,

according to sources close to the Wanta case. Miller stories treated

Wanta like a lunatic with delusions of a glorious past, But

any journalist with a Lexis/Nexis account could see that Wanta

actually was the "global businessman" he Claimed to be. The

older news clip about Noriega and the arms deal were all part of

the public record. But in 1993, consistent jabs in the Madison

newspapers destroyed Wanta in the court of public opinion.

Wanta was not allowed to hire his own attorney, and his courtappointed

one, John Chavez, didn't believe his story. Leo

Wanta's sanity was often questioned in court, but he was never

found incompetent to stand trial. Wanta's international friends

relate that the experience took its toll on him, both mentally and

physically. . ..

Right before his trial, Wanta was denounced as a "snake oil

salesman" and an "egregious thief' in Thieves World by Claire

Sterling. The problem is, the late Claire Sterling was closely

connected to the CIA, according to multiple sources. Sounds like

the ambassador pissed off somebody at the top. Maybe it has

something to do with the two thousand tons of Soviet gold he

was attempting to move on international markets, right after

the fall of the U.S.S.R.

Today, Ambassador Wanta remains under house arrest in

Wisconsin. Wanta claims that when he was arrested, he was

forced to leave behind about $200 billion in prime bank guarantees.

"Lawfully earned funds," Wanta says, that international

banks and governments have been allowed to "use free of

charge" sinCe-he's been detained (when you total up the interest

and the capital that can accumulate through smart use of $200

billion, Wanta says, it comes out to about $27.6 trillion). After

Wanta and his counsel, Henry, confirmed to their satisfaction

that Vreeland was in fact an intelligence operative, they hired

Delmart Vreeland to help recover some ofthe money ..

In a late night, three-way conversation between us,

Vreeland recently blurted out to Wanta, 'Who has controlled me

in the last eight months'?"

Wanta gruffly stated, "ON!."

"Where would they get orders from?"

"Cheney."

If' that's true it might help explain why the vice president

has never rescinded his claim that Iraq was involved in 9/11.

Maybe he got it str~ight from Delmart Vreeland. Or vice versa.

Admonished later by Vreeland for saying too much about

Switzerland, Leo Wanta replied, "I'm in constant pain; rheumatism,

arthritis, I have not. received proper medical care. I'm not

afraid anymore." .
