Remember The October Surprise? Who Is Ernest Backes And Why Does George H. Bush Want Him Out Of The Picture? By Greg Szymanski 3-24-6
One man that the ruthless and diabolical George H. W. Bush wants dead or out of the picture probably more than anybody else goes by the surprising and unknown name of Ernest Backes.
And it may come as even a bigger surprise that Backes isn't even a "fat cat" political foe or an undercover FBI agent with information about Bush's Iran Contra drug smuggling days.
Although not a big shot, the information he learned as a backroom banking officer for the Clearstream Banking Network is big news and pins Bush right to wall for lying about what has come to be known as the "October Surprise."
Regarding the Iranian hostage crisis, Bush has always denied any wrongdoing or that he negotiated secretly with Iranians for keeping the American hostages locked up until Ronald Reagan became President.
But Backes claims he has first hand information, contradicting Bush. The bank officer, one of the men who handled the transactions, claims that the Clearstream network was a principal conduit in the "October Surprise" and that millions of dollars in bribes, negotiated by Bush in his secret trip to Iran, was actually used to hold the hostages until Reagan was elected instead of immediately releasing the captive Americans.
His information also shoots a big hole in U.S. foreign policy where American politicians always have gone on record saying "they never negotiate with terrorists," this phrase said over and over again as American soldiers or civilians faced torture and death while being held captive.
But according to Backes, Bush did negotiate with terrorists, cutting a treasonous deal to keep American hostages in bondage until Reagan secured the White House.
In the past, Backs has told his story before, mainly ut of the earshot of the mainstream American media, appearing on radio shows overseas, as even Tim Sebastian of BBC World is familiar with his story.
But now Backes has essentially gone underground, as the powers that be have turned up the heat in anticipation of his upcoming book in May, detailing the Clearstream connection with October surprise, as well as financial connections to the Vatican Bank scandal and the infamous Bank of Ambrosiano.
