My Time in Iraq with the United Nations, etc.

From September 2002 through January 2003 I was an Observer and International Consultant with the UN/FAO in Iraq. I was arrested one night crossing a bridge from the south side of the Tigris to the north in Al Hindia. I was captured wearing Iraqi clothing by a sentry hidden under the structural steel half way across. I speak fluent Iraqi Arabic. Because I was carrying my UN ID they were very polite to me. They apologised and said I had to wait for a 4 star Police General to let me go. Meanwhile they brought me tea and biscuits.

Later on one of my UN associates suspected I was with the CIA. He started a campaign among his associates to have me killed. The Director of the UN FAO Mission was from the same country he was and overheard their plotting to kill me. He arranged to have a decoy taxi drive to another hotel where they let out disinformation to the people plotting my death that led them there. Meanwhile about two hours later after they took the bait a private car drove me out through the back roads of Jordan.

Since 1974 I have been involved in many such operations and lived 5 years in Algeria in Oran looking over the Soviet Navy there and a submarine base inside the mountain west of the city. I used to get corroborating information from the women in Derbe a huge brothel in the west side of Oran that used to be the Jewish Quarter before 1967.

One day I was looking for a contact who didn't show up in the brothel. I lingered a bit too long and a seven foot tall Watusi woman appeared from the shadows and took my left biceps in her hand like a pencil. She whisked me into the street in a few steps as if I was an 8 year old child.

I actually started my career by going after the Children of God in British Columbia, Canada and met Moses Davis in the basement of the Nanaimo Crisis Center where a lawyer from the Government Human Resources Department was grilling Moe on his getting a check for $2 million for them to buy an old Orange Crush Factory. It was all a part of the drug business as the Children of God provided mules worldwide. My cover got blown and I escaped miraculously after being held from January to March, 1975 in my own home drugged and sitting in a chair. To keep from losing my mind I practiced math and chemistry problems in my head.

I escape one day when they left me alone thinking I was a vegetable. The rest of my story and others I can make available on request but all of it is true and verifiable.

I am a Licensed Professional Chemcial Engineer in Canada and the USA and I am currently creator if many patents in alternative energy generation and other things like a conveying system I have recently licensed to an Indian Mining Company that will supplant all rail one day. I will be recovering $1 trillion in coal for them in Mozambique with my processes to convert the middlings to DME and pump it to the Indian Ocean to Cape Class Ships for the Indian and Chinese Markets.

The coking coal will be sent by my conveyor at 2,000 tons per hour at 1,200 miles per hour to the offshore platform. The Indian Institute of Technology has provided third party verification of my technology and are building the pilot plant.

DME is used in China and India as a repacement for diesel. It burns soot free and is easily applied to all vehicles and can be generated quite cheaply from even low quality coal. I also have developed patents in the oxidative and steam hydrogasification of coal with 100% CO2 capture. To get the USA off crude oil coal could be exploited in this manner but the political will and funding are missing!From September 2002 through January 2003 I was an Observer and International... more

Police say wannabe fashion model and former cosmetic salesman behind NYC terror plot

Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. said Ferhani and Moroccan pal Mamdouh were to sneak into 'a major synagogue in Manhattan' disguised as Hasidic Jews, complete with 'peyot', or side curls, and beards.

He said: 'He [Ferhani] was committed to violent jihad, and his plan became bigger and more violent with each passing week.'
Mamdouh, of Moroccan descent and Ferhani, of Algerian descent, were arrested late on Tuesday night allegedly trying to buy weapons in exchange for drugs. It was during the sting that one of the suspects confessed to the plot the kill Jews, the court heard.

One of the terror suspects arrested for allegedly planning to attack New York synagogues dressed as a Hasidic Jew used to work as a make-up salesman for Saks Fifth Avenue, it has emerged.

27-year-old Ahmed Ferhani, who quit his job to try to become a male model, was caught with taxi dispatcher Mohammad Mamdouh, 20, on Tuesday night in a dramatic police sting operation as they tried to acquire a fearsome arsenal of weapons from an undercover NYPD officer.

One of the suspects is a U.S. citizen and the other is a legal resident. Both already had weapons in their possession, police said.

It emerged today that both had been arrested for robbery last year. Ferhani has a criminal record for narcotics, and was allegedly trying to sell drugs to fund the gun deal.

Described as the alleged ringleader of the attack, he moved to America in 1995 when his family sought asylum from war-torn Algeria. He went on to work as a cosmetics salesman at Saks Fifth Avenue, but had been known to police for some time.

Yesterday, Ferhani's father, J. Ferhani, insisted his son was not an extremist, instead describing him as a wannabe model who drank alcohol and had a Christian girlfriend.

He told the New York Times his son was 'a good kid' who 'got involved with a bad kid'.
'He doesn't pray, he drinks,' he added.

Neighbours of Ferhani doubted he was capable of such an act, and described the pair as 'knuckleheads'.Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. said Ferhani and Moroccan pal Mamdouh were to... more
