McConnell claims that the BBA’s professional associates (cf. Sidley Austin) for the Romney-Ryan election campaign, recruited Khalid Shaikh Mohammed to serve as the Bojinka mastermind at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1986.
McConnell also claims that BBA Libor panel members Barclays, HSBC and Citigroup, have extorted the terrified silence of Romney and Ryan in respect of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed’s alleged use of the BBA's Libor-rated student loan system to finance inter alia the World Trade Center 1993 bombings; the Bojinka plot; 9/11; an aborted 2002 attack on the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles; the Bali nightclub bombings; the failed bombing of American Airlines Flight 63; the Millennium Plot, and the murder of Daniel Pearl.

“The Bojinka plot (Arabic: بجنكة; Tagalog: Oplan Bojinka) was a planned large-scale three phase Islamist [British Bankers' Association] attack by Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. The attack would involved a plot to assassinate Pope John Paul II, an air bombing of 11 airliners and their approximately 4,000 passengers that would have flown from Asia to the United States, and Murad's proposal to crash a plane into the CIA's headquarters in Fairfax County, Virginia, in addition to the plan to bomb multiple aeroplanes. The term also refers to a combination of plots by Yousef and Mohammed to take place in January 1995, Despite careful planning and the skill of Ramzi Yousef, the Bojinka plot was disrupted after a chemical fire drew the Philippine National Police's (PNP) attention on January 6 and January 7, 1995. Yousef set off test bombs in a mall and theater, injuring scores of people, and one person was killed in the course of the plot — a passenger seated near a nitroglycerin bomb on Philippine Airlines Flight 434, which could have caused enough damage to lose the entire plane. The money handed down to the plotters originated from al-Qaeda.”
“Breakingviews: Fraud probe could turn Qatar cold on Barclays .. Thu Aug 30, 2012 7:18am EDT (The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. [Note Thomson Reuters serves the British Bankers’ Association’s RICO Enterprise as Libor data compiler and the principal producer of al-Qaeda Wag the Dog stories] The opinions expressed are her own) By Una Galani Aug 30 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Qatar could turn cold on Barclays. The sovereign fund isn't publicity shy, but a probe by the UK's Serious Fraud Office into its financial links with the British bank has forced it into an unwelcome spotlight. Whatever the outcome of the investigation, in a region where rich rulers are fiercely protective of their reputations, there is a chance that Qatar might seek to distance itself from the bank. The probe is a threat to what has been so far a four-year win-win, relationship. A costly capital injection led by Qatar spared the UK bank from a state bailout in 2008. Yet the Libor rate-rigging scandal and the latest probe have been a dampener. The SFO picks up from an investigation by the UK Financial Services Authority into disclosure of fees paid to Qatar in return for advising the bank's Middle East business. The stakes are high. Qatar has invested over 5 billion pounds and owns almost 7 percent of Barclays after partly reducing its ownership in 2009. The bank's shares have since slumped, but the fund is making double digit returns on Barclays' reserve capital instruments that redeem in 2019 at the earliest. The relationship has blossomed further this year. Qatar agreed to co-invest $250 million with Barclays' natural resources private equity investment unit in April. Barclays is also top of Middle East M&A tables for the year to date, thanks to two big advisory tickets from the Qataris.”
“HSBC 'sorry' for aiding Mexican drugs lords, rogue states and terrorists Executive quits in front of US Senate as bank faces massive fines for 'horrific' lapses that resulted in laundering money for drugs cartels and pariah states ..Executives with Europe's biggest bank, HSBC, were subjected to a humiliating onslaught from US senators on Tuesday over revelations that staff at its global subsidiaries laundered billions of dollars for drug cartels, terrorists and pariah states. Lawmakers hammered the British-based bank over the scandal, demanding to know how and why its affiliates had exposed it to the proceeds of drug trafficking and terrorist financing in a "pervasively polluted" culture that persisted for years. A report compiled for the committee detailed how HSBC's subsidiaries transported billions of dollars of cash in armoured vehicles, cleared suspicious travellers' cheques worth billions, and allowed Mexican drug lords buy to planes with money laundered through Cayman Islands accounts. Other subsidiaries moved money from Iran, Syria and other countries on US sanctions lists, and helped a Saudi bank linked to al-Qaida to shift money to the US [for Bojinka and 9/11]”
“[Spoliation inference that John Deutch – the disgraced former CIA and Citigroup director – designed the BBA’s Bojinka student Libor loan system in support of an ongoing attempt by British Bankers and a self-styled intellectual elite to overthrow the United States government by force] and College Loan Interest Rates Shopping for a private college loan can seem daunting. Chances are you want to find the most competitive loan out there but you feel overwhelmed by the financial jargon. This is normal and you can rest assured that Citi is here to help you by providing you the information you need to evaluate your options. Private college loans have variable interest rates based on either the Prime or LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) index. What does this mean? First, the interest rates on these loans fluctuate – rise or fall – in line with their relative index, Prime or LIBOR. As rates change, your monthly college loan payment will increase or decrease accordingly. To understand the frequency at which your interest rate is adjusted (i.e., monthly or quarterly), review your loan documents. Secondly, it's important to understand that the Prime or LIBOR rate is not all that matters. Don't focus solely on the index because the interest rate you will pay on your college loan is the value of the index plus a margin. For example: LIBOR (%) + Margin (%) = Interest Rate (%) Since private college loans are credit-based, the range for the margin varies. Individuals with an excellent credit history will generally receive a lower margin, resulting in a lower interest rate than those with less-than-perfect credit. Tip: If you don't have an established credit history or may have less-than-perfect credit, you can always apply with a qualified co-signer, which can increase your chance for approval and potentially help you qualify for a lower interest rate.”
“Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (Arabic: خالد شيخ محمد ; also transliterated as Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and additionally known by at least fifty aliases[10][11] is aKuwait-born militant in U.S. custody in Guantánamo Bay for alleged acts ofterrorism, including mass murder of civilians.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was a member of Osama bin Laden's terrorist groupal-Qaeda organization, although he lived in Afghanistan, heading al-Qaeda's propaganda operations from sometime around 1999. The 9/11 Commission Report alleges that he was "the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks." He is also alleged to have confessed to a role in many of the most significant terrorist plots over the last twenty years, including the World Trade Center 1993 bombings, the Bojinka plot, an aborted 2002 attack on the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles, the Bali nightclub bombings, the failed bombing of American Airlines Flight 63, the Millennium Plot, and the murder of Daniel Pearl.
He was captured on March 1, 2003, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, by the Inter-Services Intelligence agency of Pakistan, and transferred to U.S. custody. In March 2007, he confessed to masterminding the September 11 attacks, the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up an airliner over the Atlantic Ocean, the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and various foiled attacks. He was charged in February 2008 with war crimes and murder by a U.S. military commission and faces the death penalty if convicted.
By the time the Bojinka plot was discovered, Mohammed was already safely in Qatar, back at his job as a project engineer at the country's Ministry of Electricity and Water. He traveled in 1995 to Sudan, Yemen, Malaysia, and Brazil to visit elements of the worldwide jihadist community, although no evidence connects him to specific terrorist actions in any of those locations. On his trip to Sudan he attempted to meet with Osama bin Laden, who was at the time living there with the aid of Sudanese political leader Hassan al Turabi. After a request to arrest Mohammed came to the Qatari government from the United States in January 1996, Mohammed fled to Afghanistan, where he renewed his relationship with Abdul Rasul Sayyaf and formed a working relationship with the newly migrated bin Laden later that year. "According to KSM, this was the first time he had seen bin Laden since 1989. Although they had fought together [in Afghanistan] in 1987, bin Laden and KSM did not yet enjoy an especially close working relationship."
According to different sources, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was born in Kuwait City, Kuwait, on March 1, 1964, or April 14, 1965,[1][2] to parents who had roots in Balochistan, a province of Pakistan bordering Iran and Afghanistan.[3] He grew up and spent some of his formative years in Kuwait, just like his nephew, Ramzi Yousef (three years his junior). He joined the Muslim Brotherhood there at age sixteen.[12] He returned to Pakistan soon after, and after spending some time there, went to the United States for further study.
He attended the Chowan College and completed a degree in mechanical engineering at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1986.[13][14][dead link]The following year he went to Afghanistan, where he and his brothers (Zahed, Abed, and Aref) fought against the Soviet Union during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (some sources claim that Khalid was fighting in Afghanistan before he moved to the United States). There, he was introduced to Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, of the Islamic Union Party. The 9/11 Commission Report notes on page 149 that "Sayyaf part of the Afghan Northern Alliance".
The 9/11 Commission Report also notes that, "By his own account, KSM's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."
However, according to a U.S. intelligence summary reported on August 29, 2009, by The Washington Post, his time in the U.S did lead him to become a terrorist. "KSM's limited and negative experience in the United States — which included a brief jail stay because of unpaid bills — almost certainly helped propel him on his path to becoming a terrorist," according to this intelligence summary. "He stated that his contact with Americans, while minimal, confirmed his view that the United States was a debauched and racist country."[16]
According to the 9/11 Commission, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed after the Afghan jihad went to work for an electronics company, working on communications equipment. In 1988, he helped to head a non-governmental organization paid for by Abu Sayyaf, which sponsored and aided Afghan fighters against the Soviets. He continued this work until 1992, when he fought with Muslim fighters in Bosnia and Herzegovina and supported this effort financially.[citation needed] Khalid Sheikh Mohammed moved to Qatar to work in a government office as a project engineer for the Qatari Ministry of Electricity and Water. He stayed at this job until 1996.[citation needed]”
“Sallie Mae Sells Out Students’ Safety and American Jobs March 31, 2009 By Jim Ross: Sallie Mae, the nation’s largest student lender, is quietly processing student loans in India and the Philippines. These are student loans, subsidized by American taxpayers to help keep college education affordable. Sallie Mae routes payments, complaints and applications for these government-subsidized loans — containing sensitive personal and financial information — to processing centers in Bangalore and Pune, India. Calls about collections and loan originations are also passed to centers in India, as well as Baguio, Philippines, prompting complaints like this from student borrowers: The education department contract is designed to handle the federal bailout of student lenders, not the increased funding and reform proposed by Obama. Unlike the bank bailout, the education contract doesn’t require recipients to buy American. The contract, however, does require “all personnel” to complete a federal background clearance based on their position risk level. Preliminary clearances must be completed for high-risk positions prior to working on the student aid system. Still, two of the largest servicers, Sallie Mae and Affiliated Computer Services LLC (ACS) — the existing federal loan servicer — have overseas operations. Sallie Mae uses processing centers in Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas in addition to its processing operations in India and the Philippines. While executives listed the offshore operations in a presentation to investors, none of the offshore facilities are depicted on a map of the United States showing “Operations Locations.”
The company’s most recent annual report doesn’t use the words “India” or the “Philippines,” although Sallie Mae has been contracting overseas companies, particularly those in India, for years. Sallie Mae’s Offshore Servicing Causes Many Complaints Sallie Mae’s offshoring practice has spawned complaints since at least 2006 about everything from heavy accents making it difficult to communicate to providing financial information to call center employees in other countries. As one borrower put it in February 2009, “I got out-sourced to India and felt very uncomfortable giving personal info, social, credit card numbers, etc. I expressed my concern and to be connected to an American based representative only to be hung up on over and over and over.” Other Companies Competing ACS provides technology and “business process outsourcing” to commercial and government clients. It operates in more than 100 countries and has 65,000 employees. It operates 12 data centers and three enterprise command centers (ECC) in Dallas, Bangalore, India and Monterrey, Mexico. These command centers perform various processing activities and provide round-the-clock support to the company’s clients. The four other companies competing for the contract don’t publicly disclose alliances with offshore companies. They are Wells Fargo Bank; American Education Services, which is a division of the government run Pennsylvania Higher Education Authority; the Great Lakes Education Loan Services Inc. and NelNet, Inc. A battle over which company would receive the lucrative loan servicing contract erupted shortly after President Bush signed legislation that increases federal grants and student loan amounts as well as buying back loans from private lenders under the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008. Sallie Mae, for example, sold $1 billion in federal loans to the Department of Education in October 2008.”
