The former New York police commissioner hailed as a hero for his leadership after 9/11 faces criminal charges over alleged corruption.
Sources in the US claim that Bernie Kerik has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

He is to face charges including tax evasion, mail and wire fraud, making false statements on a bank application and making false statements for a US government position.

The accusations would also be an embarrassment for former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Mr Giuliani, the frontrunner to become the Republic presidential candidate next year, was close to Kerik - and at one point pushed for him to become head of Homeland Security.

Another charge facing Kerik, theft of honest services, essentially accuses a government employee of abusing his position and defrauding the public.

Authorities have alleged that Kerik took tens of thousands of dollars in services from benefactors and never reported it as income.

Earlier this year, he rejected a plea deal, and his attorney insisted he had done nothing wrong.

Kerik and Giuliani brief then Attorney General John AshcroftAn indictment is the latest chapter of a downfall that began within days of Kerik's nomination in 2004 to head the Department of Homeland Security.

At the time, he was billed by the former mayor as a no-nonsense, self-made lawman who helped restore calm following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

President George Bush had him sent to Iraq in the wake of the 2003 invasion to help set up a new police force.

But once there he showed more interest in taking part in night-time raids than organising the police and left his job suddenly.

It is either one of two things...

1. He has crossed his neo-con controllers and this is his reward.

or.

2. He has been a bad boy and will be rescued by his chums.

With those criminal credentials he should move into politics

The Larouche take on it -


Giuliani Was Set Up!

Lyndon LaRouche

November 10, 2007 (LPAC)--If you wish, you could ask Senator Chuck Hagel; but, I do not think he would wish to answer at this time.

If statistical analysis means anything, the build-up of former NY Mayor Giuliani as a "hot prospect " for the man to beat Hillary Clinton in the coming U.S. Presidential election, was a crafted set-up, designed to clear the decks for the present New York Mayor to emerge, as if "miraculously, " as Senator Hillary Clinton 's really intended Republican challenger.

All of the relevant Republican king-makers had known fully in advance of the scandal which would bring Mafia creation Giuliani down, using the case-in-preparation against Bernard Kerik to spring the trap being set against Giuliani. To make Mayor Michael Bloomberg a serious contender, Giuliani had to be brought down, but only after "Queen for a Day" Giuliani 's brief trip to euphoria had cleared the deck for the operation which would use Giuliani as the way to weaken other Republican contenders sufficiently to make Giuliani 's fall the opportunity for Mayor Bloomberg to become (at least apparently so) a virtual shoo-in for the Republican nomination.

Briefly, therefore: The Republican option for defeating Senator Clinton, is to put a "white horse " in the position of the kind of "People's Choice" which would be a politically saleable product under the presently shattered reputations of both the Republican Party, and a Pelosi-discredited Democratic pack.

To come close to accomplishing that sort of political coup d 'etat in the present U.S. Presidential race, Giuliani must be built up to the degree that his sudden, disastrous fall into a political "Black Sox" scandal, would wreck the presently on-going Republican campaign sufficiently to discredit both Giuliani and all his leading current rivals for the Republican nomination. That is exactly what has been done, as (obviously) pre-scripted.

The standard, expert method for bringing a dictator, such as Mussolini or Hitler, to power by popular acceptance of a duped electorate, is to stun that electorate with a shocking scandal against the leading, existing party systems.

The implied plan behind this hanging Giuliani up high enough to drop him, is: "Suckers of the world unite, if you have actually already lost your brains!"
