March 1, 2007 -- BUSH AND CHENEY, WHO AVOIDED THE VIETNAM WAR, ARE PREPARING FOR A NEW U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: AFTER THE MIDDLE EAST DISASTER, GET READY FOR INDOCHINA WAR II.

While in Southeast Asia, this editor looked into rumors that the Bush/Cheney administration has initiated a major military move into Southeast Asia to secure for itself large oil deposits discovered in the waters of the Gulf of Thailand. The U.S. military push into the region is centered on the Cambodian coast, particularly around Sihanoukville.

With three countries -- Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam -- vying for the off-shore oil booty in seas where maritime borders are contested, the Bush/Cheney cartel hopes to achieve a dominant position to exploit the oil reserves for their oil industry friends and backers.

The recent visit of the U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet's USS Gary (FFG 51) to the Ream Naval Base near Sihanoukville on February 9, 2007 was billed as the first visit of a U.S. Navy ship in 30 years. What the Navy and media did not report was that the last U.S. Navy ships to "visit" Cambodia were those in 1975 that pulverized the Cambodian coast in response to the capture of the SS Mayaguez by Khmer Rouge forces.

The visit of the Gary to Ream coincided with the beginning of light building construction by the U.S. Navy at the base to accommodate a greater U.S. naval presence. Photos taken of the Ream Naval Base by WMR show the construction of at least one barracks on the base.

In addition, between 15 and 18 U.S. National Security Agency/Central Security Service signals intelligence (SIGINT) personnel have arrived at Ream to establish an off-shore SIGINT station on one of the Cambodian islands in the Gulf of Thailand. According to a New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) source in Cambodia, the island chosen to host the new U.S. intelligence base is Koh Tang, a location with a prime intelligence-gathering vantage point in the disputed waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Assigned to the nascent NSA contingent are Thai, Khmer, and Vietnamese linguists.

Ironically, the new U.S. naval presence in Cambodia is in the very same area that saw intense fighting between the U.S. Navy and Marines and Khmer Rouge forces that captured the U.S. "container ship", the Mayaguez, in 1975. The 39-man crew of the Mayaguez was briefly imprisoned by the Cambodians on Koh Tang, the suspected site of the new U.S. spy base.

Although the Gerald Ford administration contended the Mayaguez was an unarmed merchant ship, it was under contract to the military and may have been spying on oil exploration operations in the Gulf of Thailand near the Wai Islands, claimed by Cambodia. The Cambodians were in the process of releasing the Mayaguez crew when Ford ordered U.S. bombing of the port and airfield of Sihanoukville. Forty-one American military personnel died in the needless attack on Cambodia, most from an accidental explosion. The Mayaguez crew was picked up by the Navy from a Cambodian fishing boat.

With the U.S. support for the September 16, 2006 military coup in Thailand that overthrew that nation's democratically-elected government becoming clear (U.S. ambassador to Thailand Ralph Boyce now sports a yellow tie, a show of support for the royalist-backed coup -- yellow being the color of the monarchy), there is speculation that the U.S. will beef up a presence at Thai bases that were once important during the Vietnam War.

This includes the base at Utapao, Thailand, a one-time P3-Orion naval reconnaissance aircraft base and US Air Force base used to attack Cambodia over the Mayaguez incident. Since Thailand was never consulted on the use of Utapao in the attack on Cambodia, Thailand ordered the base vacated by the Americans. The Thais never believed the Mayaguez was an innocent merchant vessel but had somehow provoked the Cambodians to seize it in Cambodian territorial waters.

The Thais continue to be wary of U.S. intentions in Cambodia. The Thai-Cambodian border is in dispute and some Khmers make no secret of their desire to take back historically Khmer territory in eastern Thailand.

March 2, 2007 -- ISRAEL'S DOUBLE GAME IN SOUTHEAST ASIA: ARMING TERRORISTS WITH KHMER ROUGE WEAPONS

WMR's report yesterday on the U.S. naval buildup in Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia, coincides with a major Israeli intelligence and weapons smuggling operation in the region.

Israel has been a major, albeit covert, player in Southeast Asia since Israeli multi-billionaire tycoon Shaul Eisenberg began supplying weapons to Cambodia's genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s. Eisenberg, a close business partner of China's military, was also an early arms supplier to Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.

Eisenberg was active with Asia's Jewish community during World War II, not as a compatriot of the Allies but as a close intelligence and business partner of Japan's Imperial government, which was allied with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the Axis Alliance.

Escaping Nazi-controlled Europe, Eisenberg settled in the Far East, making his primary bases of operation Japanese-occupied Shanghai and Japan itself.

In Shanghai, Eisenberg, along with Imperial Japanese military intelligence units, formed units of future Jewish terrorist groups -- the Irgun and the Shanghai Betar (Betar was founded in the 1930s by the Polish Zionist Yakob Jabotinsky, a supporter of Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini, to battle the British for control of Palestine and the ideological godfather of later neoconservative oracle Leo Strauss).

The Japanese taught the Jewish paramilitary forces in Shanghai, including some who escaped from Joseph Stalin's Jewish Autonomous Region creation in the Soviet Far East on the Chinese border, how to disrupt colonial occupiers' logistics and command and control elements, strategies that had been successful against the British, Dutch, French, and American colonial authorities in Asia.

The Irgun and Betar gangs would eventually use the knowledge gained from the Japanese in their terror campaign against British and Arab forces in Palestine following World War II. Eventually, Irgun and Betar veterans would form the present-day Likud Party, now headed by Binyamin Netanyahu, a noted extreme right-winger.

After the war, Eisenberg began selling war surplus material, including iron and steel scrap. Married to a Japanese woman, Eisenberg established the Israel Corporation, a huge holding company , which, during the 1970s, began to secretly export Israeli military equipment and weapons to China.

Under a Panama-based company called United Development, Inc., Eisenberg also began exporting weapons to Central America's most insidious dictatorships, including that of Anastasio Somoza in Nicaragua. Eisenberg's vast holdings eventually included Israel Aircraft Industries and Zim Israel Navigation Company.

As the United States faced imminent defeat in the Indochina War at the hands of the Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian communist-nationalist forces, Eisenberg wasted no time in cashing in on America's defeat and the new power alignments in Southeast Asia. He began selling weapons from his new business partner - China - to the Cambodian forces of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. After the defeat of the U.S.-backed military government of General Lon Nol, installed after Richard Nixon's National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, a close friend of Eisenberg, ordered the CIA to overthrow Cambodian head of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia fell victim to a bloody civil war between Vietnamese troops backing Pol Pot's one-time ally Hun Sen and the Chinese-backed "Democratic Kampuchea" government of Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.

It was no mistake that the Gerald Ford administration and Secretary of State Kissinger backed the Khmer Rouge.

Kissinger and Ford's long-time Michigan financial backer, industrialist Max Fisher were both financially and ideologically linked to Eisenberg. Ford's supposed "grand moment" -- the repatriation in 1975 of the crew of the U.S. "merchant" (spy) ship, the SS Mayaguez, from Khmer Rouge forces was a Kissinger- and Eisenberg-designed ruse designed to build up Ford's support in the face of the American military defeat in Southeast Asia.

That ruse came at the cost of 41 Marines and countless Cambodian military forces and civilians.

Kissinger authorized Eisenberg to begin a discreet program to modernize China's armed forces with $10 billion in Israeli and U.S.-designed weapons, re-exported through Israel. The reason -- neoconservative to its roots -- was to have China counteract Soviet military power in Asia and beyond.

As a result of Eisenberg's Israel-China military alliance, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge forces were amply supplied by Israel and China. Logistics were no problem since Eisenberg's Israel Corporation owned a 49 percent share in Zim Shipping, the world's third largest shipping company. Although Eisenberg died from a sudden heart attack in Beijing in 1997, the weapons smuggling activities of his friends in Mossad and Zim Shipping continue to plague Southeast and South Asia.

Under a United Nations, European Union, and Cambodian government weapons buy-back program, Cambodia is striving to eliminate the proliferation of small arms, including AK-47s and grenade launchers and mortars, from the Cambodian population. However, the storage program for the collected weapons has been an ongoing problem for the Cambodians, as cited in an EU report that stated there were four major problems with the program:

1. No formal mechanisms for registering numbers, types and condition of weapons;
2. No records of any of the above;
3. Weapons stored alongside various types of explosives including mines, mortars, grenades and ammunition;
4. Weapons stored in buildings without adequate security.

Storage facilities with so-called "enhanced security" were constructed in Phnom Penh (several facilities), Battambang, Pailin, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap, Banteay Srei, Preah Vihear, and Kampong Thom. The suspicions about Israeli involvement in smuggling stored Khmer Rouge and other weapons were heightened in 1999 after a mysterious fire destroyed the Cambodian military weapons storage facility at the Ream Naval Base near Sihanoukville.

According to a New Zealand intelligence officer in Cambodia, the depot was destroyed by an Israeli squad after it was revealed they were smuggling weapons from the facility to guerrilla groups throughout Southeast Asia, including the small "Free Vietnam Movement" battling Vietnam's central government and Hmong guerrillas battling Laotian government forces.

The Vietnamese became even more suspicious about the role of the depot after weapons from the Ream warehouse were seized by Cambodian and Vietnamese police at the Bavet border checkpoint. The weapons were destined for guerrillas of the Free Vietnam Movement.

WMR visited Phnom Penh, Cambodia and discovered that the Mossad and Cambodian criminal syndicate allies continue to obtain bought-back Cambodian weapons from Cambodian government warehouses and are selling them to guerrilla groups throughout Asia, including Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers, anti-Laotian Hmongs, the small anti-communist Free Vietnam Movement, and Burmese tribal guerrilla groups.

WMR photographed a number of Zim shipping containers portside along the Mekong River in Phnom Penh. From this and other port facilities, including the port of Sihanoukville, bought-back Cambodian weapons , some originally provided to the Khmer Rouge by Eisenberg and the Chinese, are making their way to insurgent groups around Asia, possibly including Iraqi guerrillas battling U.S. forces in Iraq.

Not far from Zim's Mekong port facilities in Phnom Penh sits a quiet and unassuming Mossad surveillance station. From this vantage point, Israeli operatives keep a close eye on Mekong river traffic and any "new players" who arrive into town.

With new oil deposits being discovered in contested waters of the Gulf of Thailand, border skirmishes in the region are likely to increase, driving up the demand for small arms in the region. The cached weapons in Cambodia stand to make Israeli intelligence a handsome profit.

Recently, the U.S. ambassador to Sri Lanka, Robert Blake, was injured in a Tamil Tiger mortar attack on a Sri Lankan military helicopter transporting him and other Western envoys. In addition to Blake, Italian ambassador Pio Mariani was also injured in the attack.

Although Israel has been supplying weapons and training to Sri Lanka's government to be used against the Tamil Tigers, it has been playing a double game in also supplying Cambodian weapons to the Tamils.

On September 28, 2005, the Zim Asia collided with a Japanese fishing vessel, killing seven Japanese sailors aboard the fishing vessel. The collision occurred 25 miles off the Nosappu Cape in northern Japan.

What followed was the arrest in Haifa of the Zim Asia's captain, Moshe Ben David, and the Serbian second captain and Bulgarian lookout man for negligence and failure to save the lives of the Japanese fisherman, a violation of international maritime law. Israeli police confiscated documents from Zim's headquarters. The presence of a Zim ship in northern Japanese waters near North Korea once again heightened concerns about the activities of the shipping company in weapons smuggling.

If Cambodia is any measure of Israel's true intentions, it is clear that Israel's double game seeks to destabilize world and regional peace by selling to adversarial sides in civil and other wars and reaping huge profits as a result.

March 3-4, 2007 -- Our March 1 report on the 1975 SS Mayaguez incident in Cambodia elicited a response from a U.S. Navy veteran familiar with details of the U.S. Marine and Navy attack on Cambodia following the seizure of the Mayaguez, a purported U.S. spy ship operating within Cambodian territorial waters.

Although the Gerald Ford administration claimed 41 Marines died in the "rescue" mission for the Mayaguez, our Navy source reports that U.S. Navy corpsmen who attended to the dead and wounded reported at the time that 120 U.S. servicemen died in the attack. The next-of-kin were told that their sons were one of the brave KIAs (killed in action) who gave up their lives to save the crew of the Mayaguez. Corpsmen who knew the extent of the U.S. deaths in the Mayaguez were told to keep their mouths shut or face courts-martial.

The burden of history is on the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to refute charges that they lied about the number of deaths in Cambodia. Consider the following facts: the attack of Cambodia (and cover-up of the true casualty figures) were ordered by the three principal Ford administration officials involved -- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, White House Chief of Staff Dick Cheney, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. All three have been involved in similar lies and cover-ups involving Iraq and the so-called "War on Terror."

++++++++

March 5, 2007 -- More on U.S. military buildup in S. E. Asia. One of our friends snapped a photo of the USS Gary as it sailed into Cambodian waters off Victory Hill, near Sihanoukville last month. Victory Hill commemorates the monument at the foot of the hill where Vietnamese troops were victorious over Khmer Rouge forces of Pol Pot.

The Gary was accompanied by four smaller vessels surveilling all the sea traffic around the flotilla. The Cambodian coast is populated largely by Muslims, a situation that will increase tensions in the area as the U.S. Navy continues to build up its naval presence in the area around Sihanoukville. Highlighting the importance of the U.S. Navy visit, Cambodian King Norodom Sihanomi paid a visit to the Gary on February 12, the day before it departed Cambodia

The U.S. Navy incursion stems from the beginning of oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Thailand within the next two years. Cambodia has assigned Block A to Chevron Texaco. Russia and China are feuding over rights to Block B, with the Russian offering Cambodia cancellation of a $1.6 billion debt to Russia and the former Soviet Union. China, which gave sanctuary to the present King's father, Norodom Sihanouk, who abdicated in favor of his son, does not forget to remind the Cambodian King of this debt.

While on leave in Cambodia, U.S. sailors were not permitted to hire local motodups (motorbike taxis) for transportation. Our Cambodian sources report that this was due to the fact that a U.S. Navy sailor was recently beheaded in Hat Yai in a "tuk tuk" (motorized rikshaw) while on a port call to the Phuket region of southern Thailand, where a local Muslim insurgency is on an offensive against the Thai government.

++++++++

March 6, 2007 -- WMR's oil industry sources have provided more details of America's push into the lucrative Southeast Asia oil market.

Coastal Energy is sitting on huge natural gas reserves in the Phu Horm field in northeast Thailand near the Laotian border. Coastal's partners include PTTEP of Thailand and Exxon Mobil. Coastal's major shareholder is Oscar S. Wyatt, Jr. who is awaiting trial in New York City on charges that he received kickbacks from Saddam Hussein's government in the UN oil-for-food scandal. There is also a CIA connection to the Wyatt case. Not only does Wyatt possess classified documents showing the involvement of the CIA and key Bush administration figures in the oil-for-food scandal but he has requested specific CIA documents to prove his innocence.

+++++++++

March 7, 2007 -- Revelations that the Bush administration quietly supported the September 19, 2006, military/royalist coup against democratically-elected Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra while he was attending the UN General Assembly summit in New York has set off a wave of anti-American sentiments in Thailand. Not only are these sentiments felt in the poor regions where Thaksin enjoyed popular support but are also exacerbating tensions in the Muslim south of Thailand.

Thailand's monarchy is nervously watching what is happening in Asia's dwindling number of monarchies. Nepal's monarchy has been all but abolished by Nepal's governing coalition of nationalists and Maoists. In December 2006, Bhutan's King abdicated in favor of his reformist-minded bachelor son, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk. Bhutan is building a strong democracy where the power of the monarchy will be limited. Since Bhutan and Thailand are closely linked Buddhist monarchies, the reforms in Bhutan are worrying to the autocratic royal family of Thailand. The power of the monarchy has already been limited in neighboring Cambodia, which is under the iron rule of an ex-Communist Prime Minister. Under Japan's American-written constitution, Japan's emperor is a ceremonial position. That leaves Thailand's autocratic monarchy sharing a lonely Asia stage with Brunei's wealthy dictatorial Sultan and a handful of largely ceremonial sultanates in Malaysia.

Highlighting the importance of the U.S. Navy visit, Cambodian King Norodom Sihanomi paid a visit to the Gary on February 12, the day before it departed Cambodia

The U.S. Navy incursion stems from the beginning of oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Thailand within the next two years. Cambodia has assigned Block A to Chevron Texaco. Russia and China are feuding over rights to Block B, with the Russian offering Cambodia cancellation of a $1.6 billion debt to Russia and the former Soviet Union. China, which gave sanctuary to the present King's father, Norodom Sihanouk, who abdicated in favor of his son, does not forget to remind the Cambodian King of this debt.

While on leave in Cambodia, U.S. sailors were not permitted to hire local motodups (motorbike taxis) for transportation. Our Cambodian sources report that this was due to the fact that a U.S. Navy sailor was recently beheaded in Hat Yai in a "tuk tuk" (motorized rikshaw) while on a port call to the Phuket region of southern Thailand, where a local Muslim insurgency is on an offensive against the Thai government.

March 6, 2007 -- WMR's oil industry sources have provided more details of America's push into the lucrative Southeast Asia oil market.

Coastal Energy is sitting on huge natural gas reserves in the Phu Horm field in northeast Thailand near the Laotian border. Coastal's partners include PTTEP of Thailand and Exxon Mobil. Coastal's major shareholder is Oscar S. Wyatt, Jr. who is awaiting trial in New York City on charges that he received kickbacks from Saddam Hussein's government in the UN oil-for-food scandal. There is also a CIA connection to the Wyatt case. Not only does Wyatt possess classified documents showing the involvement of the CIA and key Bush administration figures in the oil-for-food scandal but he has requested specific CIA documents to prove his innocence.

March 7, 2007 -- Revelations that the Bush administration quietly supported the September 19, 2006, military/royalist coup against democratically-elected Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra while he was attending the UN General Assembly summit in New York has set off a wave of anti-American sentiments in Thailand. Not only are these sentiments felt in the poor regions where Thaksin enjoyed popular support but are also exacerbating tensions in the Muslim south of Thailand.

Thailand's monarchy is nervously watching what is happening in Asia's dwindling number of monarchies. Nepal's monarchy has been all but abolished by Nepal's governing coalition of nationalists and Maoists. In December 2006, Bhutan's King abdicated in favor of his reformist-minded bachelor son, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk. Bhutan is building a strong democracy where the power of the monarchy will be limited. Since Bhutan and Thailand are closely linked Buddhist monarchies, the reforms in Bhutan are worrying to the autocratic royal family of Thailand. The power of the monarchy has already been limited in neighboring Cambodia, which is under the iron rule of an ex-Communist Prime Minister. Under Japan's American-written constitution, Japan's emperor is a ceremonial position. That leaves Thailand's autocratic monarchy sharing a lonely Asia stage with Brunei's wealthy dictatorial Sultan and a handful of largely ceremonial sultanates in Malaysia.

Quote:Although the Gerald Ford administration contended the Mayaguez was an unarmed merchant ship, it was under contract to the military and may have been spying on oil exploration operations in the Gulf of Thailand near the Wai Islands, claimed by Cambodia.

Spying? On oil exploration operations? Right. That would have been Exxon and BP. Why spy on Exxon and BP when you can simply ask, or ask one of your insiders? Or intercept their telegrams, telexes, and phone calls?

What could you possibly see from a ship anyway? It would be faster and more cost effective to have an RF-4 or any of a half a dozen other aircract over fly the area and take film and photos, something you couldn't do from a ship.

Hi, Og !

The following list (posted below) is from this link.

Also you may want to download the 48 page pdf document entitled The G8: global arms exporters--failing to prevent irresponsible arms transfers, published by Amnesty International, OXFAM International, and the International Action Network on Small Arms. This document can be downloaded from this link.

This pdf document implicates the entire "G8" within the "top ten".
