Perle Mossad Spy/Agent of
Influence
Perle is a Israeli Spy or Agent of Influence.
This first came to light in 1970 when Perle was
caught on a federal wiretap disclosing classified
information with a contact at the Israeli
embassy. Since then Perle has shown a pattern of
actions and associations commiserate with those
of those of a foreign agent.
Richard Perle was the protege of Dorothy
"Dickie" Fosdick who was foreign policy
advisor and chief aide to the late Henry M.
"Scoop" Jackson. Fosdick was a
hereticaly liberal Christian who was also a
foreign policy hard-liner. She mentored Perle and
helped make him the man he is today. I know of no
evidence that Fosdick was also a Traitor.
Under President Ronald Reagan Richard Perle
was Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy. While
at the Pentagon Perle brought in Pro-Likudnik
radicals Frank Gaffney and Doug Feith.
Richard Perle has been a fundraiser speaker
for a front group for the ultra-violent Mossad
backed terrorist group MEK
or Mujeheddin-e-Khalq. This odd association
appears to be a result of the MKO Mossad alliance
after Iraq feel and Sadam Hussein was no longer
able to protect the MKO.

The Prince of Darkness
"How could you write about Dick Perle and neglect
to mention the reason he's called the Prince of Darkness?
In the 1980s, this character demanded a US nuclear strike
on the USSR, which would have started the Big One and
killed everybody. Only the Evil One himself hates
humanity more than Richard Perle does." In

PRESS RELEASE
Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
Fourteenth District, Michigan
Ranking Member, Committee on
the Judiciary
Dean, Congressional Black
Caucus
IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT:
Dena Graziano
November 15, 2003 202-226-6888
Conyers Releases Perle IG Report;
Calls for Legislation to Fix Conflict of Interest
Loopholes
Rep. John Conyers, Jr. issued the
following statement in connection with the report
issued by the Department of Defenses
Inspector General regarding allegations of
conflict of interest and misuse of public office
involving Richard Perle (the report was requested
by Mr. Conyers on March 24, 2003):
"The IGs report
confirmed what I have suspected for some time
that Mr. Perle has benefitted financially
by working for firms with major business before
the very agencies he was entrusted to advise. In
one case, Perle was even willing to tout his
government position and ties as part of his
consulting business. While the IG concluded this
course of behavior did not technically violate
the law, it is clear too that his conduct
constitutes a breach of faith with the American
people. As a result, I intend to introduce
legislation that would eliminate the legal
loopholes identified in the report."
The IGs report included the
following findings:
Perle appears to have
represented Global Crossing and Loral in matters
pending before the Defense Department, but
escaped violations of the conflict of interest
laws by virtue of the fact that he was only
considered to be in the employ less than the
required 60 day period. (IG Report, Pg. 3)
Conyers noted, "To me it is absurd that a
position as powerful as Chairman of the Defense
Policy Board is treated as a small time adviser,
when, in the present Administration the position
has taken on a decisive advisory role."
Perle signed an affidavit
claiming that his position as Chairman of the
Defense Policy Board gave him a "unique
perspective on and intimate knowledge of national
defense and security issues." (IG Report,
Pg. 3) Conyers stated, "the fact that the
offending language was subsequently removed from
the affidavit, of course, doesnt change the
reality of the assertion, or the awkwardness of
the conflict."
Perle met with Saudi Arabian businessmen at a
luncheon in Marseilles, France, in January 3,
2003." (IG Report, Pg. 3) Conyers noted,
"the fact that the IG could not identify a
specific quid pro quo by the Chairman for
obtaining investments in Perles defense
venture capital firm, does not eliminate the
appearance of impropriety that comes with
confirmation of such a meeting.
"Perle contacted
State Department officials on behalf of his
client Loral" and "participated in a
telephone conference call with investors as a
paid consultant of Goldman Sachs." (IG
Report, Pg. 3-4) Conyers reiterated, "it is
repugnant to me that an individual trusted with
advising our government on matters of war would
go on to benefit financially from those very
ties."
Conyers concluded: "My
legislation will include several provisions to
respond to the abuses highlighted in the report.
Among other things, the law needs to include a
hard and fast rule preventing high ranking
officials such as the Chairman of the DPB from
profiting from their positions, and we also need
to increase disclosure of these business ties to
the public. There is no reason the public cannot
scrutinize these relationships for conflict of
interests on their own. To bring these conflicts
to light, I will consider language that requires
advisory committee members to make conflict of
interest and ethics disclosures to Congress. The
last thing we need is profiteering by our own
trusted advisors at a time of war."

`Heads should roll' over Iraq
Adviser wants U.S. intelligence chiefs to quit
Cites faulty conclusions on Saddam's weapons
ERIC ROSENBERG
SPECIAL TO THE STAR
WASHINGTONRichard Perle, a chief proponent of last
year's U.S. invasion of Iraq, yesterday called for the
chiefs of the Central Intelligence Agency and the U.S.
Defence Intelligence Agency to step down because of their
faulty conclusions that Saddam Hussein possessed
mass-killing weapons.
Perle, a close adviser to U.S. Defence Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld, said top officials made no attempt to
skew the intelligence about Saddam Hussein's alleged
weapons of mass destruction. Instead, he implied, top
policymakers relied in good faith on the conclusions of
the intelligence agencies.
"George Tenet has been at the CIA long enough to
assume responsibility for its performance," Perle
told reporters, referring to the director of the agency.
"There's a record of failure and it should be
addressed in some serious way."
"The CIA has an almost perfect record of getting
it wrong in relation to the (Persian) Gulf going back to
the Shah of Iran," Perle said. He called for "a
shakeup" in the U.S. intelligence establishment.
"I think, of course, heads should roll," he
said. "When you discover that you have an
organization that doesn't get it right time after time,
you change the organization, including the people.
"I'd start with the head head," Perle said
when asked which heads should roll at the CIA. Perle said
the DIA " is in at least as bad shape as CIA (and)
needs new management."
Navy Vice-Adm. Lowell Jacoby has headed the agency
since July, 2002.
U.S. President George W. Bush, Rumsfeld and Secretary
of State Colin Powell have said they relied on
intelligence from the CIA and DIA in their assertions
that Saddam had stockpiles of mass-casualty weapons. The
claim was the main rationale for the U.S-led invasion.
David Kay, former head of the U.S. weapons-hunting
team in Iraq, has concluded it was highly unlikely that
Saddam possessed stockpiles of such weapons.
"It turns out we were all wrong, probably, in my
judgment, and that is most disturbing," Kay said
last month.
While Kay dismissed the prospect that stockpiles of
weapons of mass destruction would ever be found in
Iraq,Perle disputed him on two relatively minor claims:
that Iraq wasn't seeking to enrich uranium or develop
mobile weapons laboratories to manufacture chemical or
biological weapons.
"The jury is still out" on those points,
Perle said.
Perle, the former chairman of and current
member of the Defence Policy Board, a senior level
advisory panel to Rumsfeld, was an advocate for
overthrowing Saddam, asserting in the months leading up
to the war that the Iraqi dictator's weapons stockpiles
posed a grave threat to the United States.
In the lead-up to the war, Perle regularly warned
about Saddam's reputed arsenal and the danger that would
follow if the United Nations failed to get the Iraqi
dictator to disarm.
Tenet was first appointed by president Bill Clinton
and confirmed by the Senate in 1997 and then moved over
to the Bush administration after the 2000 election. His
agency has been criticized for the Iraqi weapons episode
and for failing to detect the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
strikes.
