Mrs. Clegg—Law of al-Qaeda Unwritten Rules

Source: DAVID HAWKINS Yahoo Group

Hawks CAFE alleges that Mrs. Nick Clegg’s (Miriam González Durántez) law firm DLA Piper and its ‘unwritten rules’ apparently allow the SCRAP* Merchant cat-bond insurance broker (see below) to reward al-Qaeda saboteurs for the value of any reductions they make in the carbon footprint of utilities, oil companies or airlines, amongst many others.

We developed the ‘SCRAP Merchant’ name to describe a hybrid organization of principals who appear to use unwritten rules to justify the liquidation of their rivals.

Writing Unwritten Rules

After lying dormant for more than half a century, the Chinese economic dragon is awakening – it’s the biggest single business phenomenon in the world today. There is almost limitless imagination, entrepreneurship and potential in China. There is also, inevitably, a deficit in experience and knowledge of best business practices. That is why DLA Piper founded the Beijing Ethics Network (BEN).

Once a month, approximately 15 people in different roles at multinational companies in Beijing meet at Boeing’s offices to share experiences, compare notes and champion sound ethical business practices. To be effective, such a meeting depends on openness and needs to be strictly confidential. Lawyers at DLA Piper’s Beijing office drafted the non-disclosure agreements that every BEN participant signs, enabling this important work to proceed.

Boeing Violation of the Arms Control Act

The State Department has prepared civil charges against Boeing alleging 94 violations of the Arms Control Act because the company sold commercial airliners without obtaining an export license for a tiny gyrochip that has defense applications. The company faces a potential fine of as much as $47 million, and the case could be another blow to the company's fragile relations with the federal government. In pursuing Boeing over exports of 96 jets to China and other countries between 2000 and 2003, the government is resurrecting a thorny and highly politicized issue: How should the U.S. protect dual-use technology that has both military and commercial applications without damaging its increasingly globalized trade?

The State Department charges against Boeing relate to the export of jets that contain a gyroscopic microchip called QRS-11, used as a backup system in determining a plane's orientation in the air. Though a Boeing document refers to the chip as "relatively unsophisticated" technology, the gyrochip also has been used to help stabilize and steer guided missiles .. "False statements" Boeing "was aware that a [State] Department export license was required but chose to export without authorization by using false statements on documents," the charging letter alleges.

Boeing managers declared on shipping certificates that no export license was required, even after the State Department had told the company otherwise, according to the letter. Boeing eventually acknowledged to the State Department it had exported 96 aircraft and 27 spare gyrochip-equipped flight boxes without export licenses. The QRS-11 chip, made by a unit of BEI Technologies in Concord, Calif., is just over 1-½ inches in diameter and weighs about 2 ounces. It sells for between $1,000 and $2,000. Described as "a gyro on a chip," it is used to help control the flight of missiles and aircraft. On Boeing jets, three BEI microchips are embedded in an instrument box made by French avionics firm [and ADL Piper client] Thales.

Acting together, the three chips provide a three-dimensional positional reading, telling the pilot through the flight display the precise yaw, roll and pitch of the airplane. This no-moving-parts electronic-sensor system acts as a back-up to a spinning gyroscope. Because of its use in guided missiles, the sensor is classified as a significant military item. Export-control regulations dictate that any larger system containing the sensor — even a commercial airplane — also must be considered a military item.
