- McDonald's Hamburgers, a worldwide chain as a purveyor
of Coca-Cola, is caught up supposedly in an embezzlement racket. The Bush
Justice Department has focussed on an employee of McDonald's long-time
marketing adjunct, Simon Marketing, their Chief of Security. The FBI says
it involves rigging and siphoning off a purported 13 million dollars from
McDonald's prize contests.
-
- Sources in narcotics law enforcement and the field of
Federal criminal prosecution contend, however, the true nature of the scandal
is being covered up by the George W. Bush Justice Department. Sneering
at and hooting at the Bush Justice Department, they tell confidants that
they call the U.S. Attorney General "John Ashcan", to signify
a continuation, they say, of cover-up artist Janet "Butch" Reno.
-
- Those ahead of the curve say that patriotic Americans
must leave their cocoon of denial. Howsoever it has happened, the biggest
business in the United States is the distribution of dope principally from
Southwest China and Colombia. It exceeds any business you can mention.
IBM and General Motors, by comparison, are childrens' lemonade stands.
-
- A full understanding of the profound and complex details
would convince any reasonable person that what appears to be only the crimes
of misappropriation of game prize monies are really an epidemic of corruption
that reaches up to America's highest tribunal, the U.S. Supreme Court.
-
- Some background. The matter revolves, in part, around
a Massachusetts-based games promotion firm, Cyrk, Inc., and through a complicated
series of mergers and moves, to Simon Worldwide, Inc., and division, Simon
Marketing. The founder of Cyrk, a Balkans-linked marine biology professor
whose hobby was graphic design, picked a Slavic word for the name of the
firm, meaning CIRCUS. Has it become a misleading if not evil three rings
of criminality?
-
- The business formed a partnership with Asian trading
company, Li & Fung which acquired a one-third interest in the company.
This deal gave Cyrk access to the trading company's manufacturing arrangements
in Asia. The nature of the business had reputed links that were part of
the British opium dynasty, that sought to subjugate China starting in the
19th Century. Among the reputed links to Simon Marketing are the Hong Kong
& Shanghai Bank which financed the opium trade starting more than 150
years ago. In recent years, in a taped interview, the manager of what was
the bank's unit in Chicago clearly admitted the same to us. The bank's
parent, Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank Corp., HSBC, was in the process of
merging in 1999, with the reputed international criminal banking center,
tied to the Russian mafiya and Colombia/U.S. dope cartel, Republic National
Bank of New York, headed by international gold smuggling tycoon Edmond
Safra. In the midst of the merger dealings, Safra was apparently murdered
in his lavish villa in the smugglers' haven of Monaco. The crime against
the ailing Safra was blamed, some claim falsely, on one of Safra's male
nurses. [Visit our website story, "Murder In the Gold Market"].
-
- The dope smuggling business from the Orient, starting
at least in the 19th Century and continuing to this date, reportedly was
and is overseen by the Inchcape Family, long-time operators in the Pacific
basin and elsewhere of shiplines, banks, and other financial and transportation
entities, from the Orient to America.
-
- [For an extensive historical and current round-up of
this Family's reputed criminality, with references to little-known publications
and government reports, see the various editions of "Dope, Inc.",
New Ben Franklin House, New York, N.Y.]
-
- In 1997, Cyrk consummated a licensing agreement with
Ty Inc., the maker of Beanie Babies. It was part of McDonald's Hamburgers
marketing and advertising agenda directed at enticing young children into
their fast food chain stores. Described in some press reports as secretive,
Oak Brook, Illinois-based Ty Inc., is presumed to be run by its purported
sole owner Ty Warner who as president and founder of Ty Inc. is an investor
in Simon Worldwide, Inc. [Oak Brook is in Du Page County adjoining Cook
County and Chicago. Law enforcement personnel confirm that Oak Brook is
the new center for the Old West Side Chicago Mob. Frank Sinatra and a host
of known criminal-types were the original stockholders reportedly of Oak
Brook Development Company. Cynics crow it is a natural place, under the
circumstances, for McDonald's and Ty Inc.]
-
- With Cyrk, and Simon, and McDonald's and McDonald's advertising
agency DDB Chicago, was set off a clever latter day version of the Dutch
tulip craze. [See the book, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions &
The Madness of Crowds" by Charles MacKay et al., paperback reprint
of historical book, 1995.]
-
- For reasons that defied intellectual logic, the Beanies
Babies became an industry, with the buying and selling of them causing,
for a while, astronomical prices. Particularly after Ty Inc. in a highly
secretive move, shut down their website and then announced they were retiring
every one of its Beanies Babies, the plush collectibles. That was December,
1999.
-
- The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S.
Customs were reportedly aware but took no enforcement action as to what
some contend is the real nature of the pellet-contained bean bags, a major
export item from Red China to the U.S. The Red Chinese had apparently developed
a process to pelletize dope. And then later, how to undo the process as
to result in the successful marketing of narcotics. Through bar-codes on
the boxes the bean bags were shipped in, it was possible that agents of
the drug cartel could sort out those that were harmless from those containing
pelletized dope that could NOT be detected by dope-sniffing dogs.
-
- [For more of a background on this, visit our extensive
website series, "RED CHINESE SECRET POLICE IN THE UNITED STATES".]
-
- Former DEA officials and others presently or formerly
in dope law enforcement assert they would have liked to have the arrangements,
through the U.S. Justice Department, to question before federal grand juries,
all those involved with McDonald's in the importing of the bean bags. Of
course, under the American Constitutional principles, Ty Inc., McDonald's
Hamburgers, Cyrk, Inc., Simon Worldwide, Inc., and Simon Marketing are
presumed innocent until proven otherwise. And it should be expected for
them to vigorously deny knowledge of dope criminality.
-
- The FBI, the Justice Department, and the oil-soaked,
spy-riddled monopoly press did not bother to explain that in arresting
the Chief of Security of Simon for misappropriating game prize monies,
that this was not some lowly guard-shack employee. In a business like Simon,
the Chief of Security is not a low-level person but a top-drawer official.
That official was reportedly from Wackenhut, a huge adjunct to the American
CIA. [See "Spy Magazine", 9/92, as to Wackenhut having far more
people than CIA. This so-called private proprietary of the spy agency is
to evade Freedom of Information requests.]
-
- Another business caught up ostensibly in the bigger scandal
of which the game prizes are a tiny part, is Yucaipa Companies. Yucaipa
owns 70 per cent of Golden State foods, one of McDonald's Hamburgers largest
food suppliers. Yucaipa also is an investor in Simon Worldwide, Inc.
-
- An interesting sidelight is how Rev. Jesse Jackson apparently
pressured Yucaipa to reward Jesse's mistress, Karin Stanford, by paying
her as a purported "consultant", ten thousand dollars per month.
{See, Chicago Sun-Times, 1/26/2001.]
-
- Some of the illicit dealings of Simon Marketing have
come out in a suit where they and Coca-Cola are named defendants. The suit,
pending in Chicago's federal courts also involved a fraud upon the court
by Judge Blanche Manning hearing the case. The attorneys for Simon Marketing's
liability carrier, referring to themselves as "attorneys for Simon
Marketing", had originally stated in Court in the lawsuit, that they
did not know of Cyrk. Later, the same lawyers, exposing their false prior
statements, said they DID know of Cyrk.
-
- [To understand more about McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and
DDB Chicago their advertising agency, visit the prior parts of this series.]
-
- It should be obvious from the details of those that have
overseen McDonald's Hamburgers and Coca-Cola's advertising and marketing
agenda, that such entities and their top officials most likely were in
a position to be aware of the criminal mess confronting McDonald's marketing
adjunct, Simon Marketing.
-
- In further parts of this series will be detailed how
the McDonald's "embezzlement" scandal is really the dope rackets
of the U.S./Colombia dope cartel. And visit our website story, "The
Chandra Levy Affair, Part Two" as to dope king Carlos Lehder and his
business partners the Bush Family. When the details are all laid out, it
would be obvious the scandal reaches all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
-
- More coming. Stay tuned.
