McCann's Kevin Halligen, Patton Boggs, André Hollis and the Forensic Science Services Connundrum

The Sargeants Inn explores the background of McCann investigator, Kevin Halligen, Andre Hollis, the Forenics Science Services, Van Scoyoc and Patton Boggs - Washington's leading Lobby Shops and considers whether Halligen had been deliberately recruited by figures close to Control Risks and the Shadow Government and then deliberately isolated by his intelligence partners. Is Halligen simply a fantasist or an unsuspecting scapegoat, a low-level lackey groomed and fastracked to the top of food chain - drawn into a bogus wedding - and then shamelessly hung out to dry?

Chap I:I

Kevin Halligen, the Private Security expert hired by the McCanns in March 2008 and arrested in Oxford in connection with a money laundering scam donated $1000 toward the primary election campaign put together by Washington DC Congressman, John R Unger II in July 2008 according to US Federal Commission Files (only to have it withdrawn some two weeks later).

It's not a significant amount, I'll admit, but for a man who seems something of an enigma prior to 2007, it put him on the radar at least, and Patton Boggs very much in the frame.

According to the company's Wikipedia entry:

"The company was involved in contracting services to the United States government during World War II, and conducted weapons research and development after the war. Its close involvement with some of the government's most sensitive technologies has led to its being cited in conspiracy theories related to Defense Department black projects, usually related to its core competencies in nuclear technologies."

From 1999 until 2001 EG&G was wholly-owned by The Carlyle Group.

The Carlyle Group are also the biggest investors in Qinetiq plc - a Privatised British Defence and Security Company chaired between 2002-2005 by Baroness Neville-Jones, a close friend of Baroness Sarah Hogg, former advisor to John Major. Hogg's private equity company 3i Plc are major investors in Brian Kennedy and Control Risks Group (who provided Risk Services to the UK Government in the aftermath of the War with Iraq).

Sarah Hogg's sister, Justice Mary Hogg is legal guardian of Madeleine McCann as a result of the child being made a Ward of Court in 2007.

UK Private Equity and Private Intelligence & Defense Network Advised and Supported McCanns From the Start

Qinetiq plc - chaired by Baroness Neville-Jones - was placed 6th in a list of companies who had received most of the annual expenditure on Research and Development tasks for the UK Government's Defense Programme from 2001-2008. Baroness Neville-Jones is an advisor to Washington DC's private defense and intelligence forum, The Intelligence Summit organised by ex-Nazi Prosecutor John Loftus and sponsored by Michael Cherney (who Interpol wish to speak to on a number of alleged money-laundering offenses).

Michael Shrimpton QC and Halligen colleague Richard Parton (who partnered Halligen in the Madeleine investigation) are also regular advisors at the annual Intelligence Summit.

Greg Dyke accused Baroness Neville-Jones and Baroness Sarah Hogg as being directly behind his sacking from the BBC as a result of his handling of the David Kelly/WMD affair.

The Carlyle Group continues to hold a major stake in the company. Qinetiq plc was set up by the MOD to work the British Government's "Defence Evaluation and Research Agency".

The homeland security expert that Halligen backed, Senator John R. Unger II earned his first degree and his Masters at the University of Oxford.

In the early 1990s Unger worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and India during the monsoons and riots, coordinating the distribution of relief supplies.

He later transferred his skills to Iraq to help manage relief and recovery efforts in Iraqi orphanages, schools and hospitals with Save the Children International.

Unger has become an integral part in the reconstruction effort underway in Iraq.

Control Risks Group - the Private Security company hired by Brian Kennedy is one of four companies used by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to protect its property and staff in Iraq.

Rebuilding Concensus: Halligen Signs Up with Specialist US Lobby Shop, Patton Boggs, But It's Von Scoyoc Who Get the Deal

Although I cannot find any information on the credit company - Ryecroft Consultants SA - who have filed action against Halligen, the address and empoyer's name given by Halligen on his donation to US Congress man John R Unger II is Patton Boggs, 2550 M. Street, NW Washington DC 20037. Halligen's Oakley International is also registered to this same address as is TFL Defense Inc (military construction contractors who took over $170,000 in Government Defense contracts between 200-2008). On the same donation record, Halligen describes his position as 'attorney'.

On their website Patton Boggs describe themselves as 'working closely with Congress and regulatory agencies in Washington, litigating in courts across the country, and negotiating business transactions around the world'. A law firm, they are also a highly specialised 'lobby shop', representing clients to politicians and government regulators and scoring contracts on their behalf.

Lobby Shops are specialist companies who represent clients to politicians and government regulators. Patton Boggs has represented many companies seeking and eventually winning contracts for infrastructure reconstruction in the wake of hostilities and regime change in countries like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Angola and Pakistan.

Colonel John Garrett - a defence lobbyist for Patton Boggs and frequent (unpaid) commentator for Fox News - Rupert Murdoch's US News Cahnnel - was Halligen's best man at his wedding to Maria Dybczak, a trade lawyer for the US Commerce Department. Garrett had been introduced to Halligen at a Special Forces Club in Knightsbridge, Central London. According to The Times Halligen's name was put forward by Major Donald Palmer, then chairman of entry into the Special Forces Club and Major General John Holmes, a former commander of the SAS and former director of special forces.

Another senior US Defense figure and regular Fox News commentator, Andre Hollis, was Chief-Executive at Oakley International. Hollis appears to have befriended Halligen in Washington where Hollis plied his trade as Vice President of Van Scoyoc Associates, a powerful lobbying firm that performs services on behalf of the British Embassy's Defense Procurement programme. As a consequence of this work, Van Scoyoc is registered as a foreign agent of the United Kingdom. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Hollis was the senior Department official responsible for efforts to train and equip security forces in Colombia and Afghanistan.

If Hollis was genuinely duped by a simple 'fantasist' like Halligen, then we must seriously question the wisdom of Tiger International in appointing him Head of due dillgence - Hollis's latest career move.

Halligen and Hollis - Selling the UK's Forensics Science Services to the Yanks (McCann DNA testers in deal with McCann Investigators)

During 2008, Hollis and Van Scoyoc provided lobbying services to the Forensic Science Services based in Birmingham and very much at the centre of the Madeleine McCann investigation. The current Head of the FSS is Simon Bennett, previously M.D at Qinetiq plc - the former Government Defence Company run by Baroness Neville-Jones (Bennett was formerley in Defence and Aerospace). Britain's previous major investor in forensic services had been 3i Plc, the private equity company behind Brian Kennedy and Control Risks Group. Hollis and Van Scoyoc also lobbied the Sentate in Washington on behalf of another 3i investment: the Ricardo Group Plc.

The issue of Hollis and Oakley International conducting investigations on behalf of the McCanns seems somewhat now problematized in view of the their relationship with the UK Goverment's Forensic Science Services.

Van Scoyoc also won a Pentagon/Boeing deal for Vulture, an unmanned endurance vehicle developed by the British-based Qinetiq in a deal with American Aerospace.

The Non-Executive chairman of Control Risks Group - the company recruited by the McCanns' sponsor Brian Kennedy in May 2007 - is Major Stephen Rose.

A veteran of Northern Ireland and the Gulf States, Major Rose was elected as President of the same Special Forces Club at the same time Halligen's friend Major Donald Palmer replaced Colonel Edward Toms as Chairman. Because it was Rose's former forces pal Palmer who put Halligen's name forward in the first place, it remains entirely likely that the enthusiastic electronics specialist - already known amongst the tight knit ex-Forces and Intelligence circle - was fastracked to the top of the food chain, perhaps with the expressed purpose of providing services to the McCanns and then discreetly prepared as fall guy, the group playing cynically to his fantasies.

The gauche but eager young Irishman's anxious daydreams on the fringes of this community, eventually found their purpose: too untrustworthy and flamboyant to be spy he became the next best thing - a sucker-spy.

Echoing the demands of the British National Party (BNP), Major Rose was one of the few senior military figures calling for Blair's impeachment over his handling of the war in Iraq. It didn't however stop the Tory Peer from capitalising on the invasion through a series of lucrative contracts won by Control Risks Group.

Controls Risks Group was founded in 1975 by Timothy Royle as a subsidary of Hogg Robinson, the Corporate Travel giant and rival to companies like Mark Warner. Several of the veterans have also combined their efforts at Erinys International and Kroll Inc - the Private Security firm in charge of security at the World Trade Centre at the time of 9/11.

Fox News and Pentagon pundit Garrett works with foreign sovereign governments and their embassies in the planning and implementation of political, security, and business strategies and with the U.S. government. As part of his lobbying activities Garret can guarantee weekly access and briefings with the secretary of defense, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other high level policy makers.

In 2003, Patton Boggs commenced work on estimates for the cost of Reconstructing Iraq. The law firm also secured the contract to rebuild the Kabul-Kandahar Highway in Afghanistan on behalf of a major U.S. construction company.

The Federal Knocking-Shop: How Lobby Shops like Patton Boggs Pimp The US Senate For Foreign Investors

The total figure that Senator John R Unger received in contributions from individuals was $151,078 (the Federal Electoral Commission only makes available donations upwards of $200). Senior partners in Patton Boggs - including 'super lawyer' and company chairman, Thomas H Boggs, Jr and Gordon J Arbuckle (oil/natural resources) made several contributions themselves, each of them no more than $500 to $2,000 apiece. Another Patton Boggs attorney, James A. Reeder (energy/communications) made a donation of $500. A complete list of donations may reveal that Patton Boggs were able to generate a substantial figure through its various staff (and those posing as staff) in support of John R Unger's campaign for Senate.

Because FEC rules prohibit individuals or businesses providing services to Federal government from contributing to candidates or parties in Federal elections, lobbying and fundraising specialists like Patton Boggs are vital to companies seeking federal contracts and ensuring the success of likeminded congressmen campaigning for Senate.

The following contribution caps apply to candidates for all Federal offices: $2,400 per election (each primary, runoff, and general election counts as a separate election). $10,000 per calendar year to state, district & local party committees. Of course, the real skill lies in skirting around these limits and in finding ways of collecting tens of millions of dollars from donors overseas. Donations from overseas are of course, expressedly forbidden by the Federal Election Commission.

Suspect donations are reviewed by compliance staff , and invalid donations are returned to the donor's credit cards (typical irregularities arer flagged by multiple credit cards, instances of suspicious addresses, strange words, business affiliations). A request will be made to prove the owner's address and nationality, and if the person making the donation can provide this, it will be rejected - which may explain why Halligen's $1000 to congressman, John R Unger II's campaign is accepted one week and withdrawan a short time later.

Lobbying records show Patton Boggs represents a battery of foreign governments and corporations.

The Patton Boggs Political Action Commitee and Thomas Bogg also made significant contributions to the reelection of Senator Richard Shelby - one of several senior figures Gerry McCann met in Washington to discuss support for the US search for Madeleine. Shelby, a controversial figure, had served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 1995 to 2003 under Clinton and Bush respectively. In 2004 a federal investigation concluded that Shelby had leaked classified information to Rupert Murdoch's Fox News regarding two rather dubious messages picked up by the National Security Agency.

The information consisted of two messages intercepted by the National Security Agency on September 10, 2001, only translated from their original arabic the day after the attacks — 'the match is about to begin' and 'tomorrow is zero hour'. Shelby was cleared by the Ethics Committee of any breaches.

Why Islamic terrorists would use such classically western sporting idioms doesn't seem to have been explored (the phrases are vaguely reminiscent of Todd Beamer's alleged battlecry, 'let's roll' on board Flight 93)

Shelby's election campaign was also finacially supported by Qinetiq North America - the company chaired by the UK's Baroness Neville-Jones - friend of Sarah Hogg (whose 3i investments company supports Brian Kennedy). Qinetiq North America's executive vice president's vice president Tom Weston sits on the advisory panel of Xcalibur with senior counsel to Patton Boggs, John Breaux.

In return for Qinetiq's support, Senator Shelby awarded the private security and intelligence firm a contract worth $8,000,000 to provide work on behalf of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile, Research, Development and Engineering Center.

Patton Boggs and Thomas Boggs also supported the election campaigns of Democrat congressman Nick Lampson - another of the officials and advisors Gerry met in Washington.

Gerry Takes Washington DC: Neocons Seen Bundling Madeleine into a Taxi on Capitol Hill

The third and most important member of the dignitaries Gerry met in Washington was Alberto Gonzales - at that time Attorney General of the United States Government. Patton Bogg's Colonel John Garrett and Kevin Halligen's best man at his wedding, was able to arrange private briefings with Gonzalez during his time as advisor at the White House and it possible that Gerry's invitation to the White House was procured through Garret's links with Control Risks.

During his tenure at the White House,another Patton Bogg associate, Colin M Newman functioned as a liaison to the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission) and participated in a number of high-level government investigations, serving at the White House as a legal aide to Alberto Gonzales.

Bell Pottinger - who provided Crisis Management services on behalf of the McCanns and Mark Warner - represented Trafigura - the company bringing charges against Halligen over a failure to honour a contract. Carter Ruck provide legal assistance to the beleagured Swiss-Based company.

Another guest at Halligen's wedding was Noel Koch - the former United States Assistant Secretary of Defense and now advisor to Barack Obama. Koch was a leading voice in calls for regime change in Iraq ahead of the first gulf war. Koch would later say:

"No one had any doubts about [the Iraqis'] continued involvement in terrorism... The real reason was to help them succeed in the war against Iran"

Oakley International: Defense Contractor? Private Eye? Donations launderer? Federal contracts launderer? Willing patsy?

*****************

After reading that John Loftus of the Intelligence Summit was responsible for prosecuting many of the Nazi War Criminals who had settled in the US, my attention has turned again to Karl Kleine Brockhoff, the German Man who went missing in Portugal in June 2007, shortly after Madeleine McCann. In an interview dated 2006, his son a leading journalist with the Washington Post and Die Zeit described seeing his uncles' old Nazi uniforms as a child. Kleine-Brockhoff confessed that his uncles had perhaps willfully taken part in the terminations of thousands of Jews in the concentration camps of World War II. One can only imagine that Karl Kleine Brockhoff, who was too young to have enlisted himself, was powerless to stop the actions of his Nazi brothers.

As Director of the German Marshall Fund, the interview inevitably provoked some criticism from some of its readers, who were determined to draw a parallel between the German Marshall Fund and the so-called Bormann Organisation.

To this day a number of conspiracy theorists make the controversial claim that the German Marshall Fund is little more than a 'front' for the Bormann Organisation - a reference to Martin Bormann - Head of the Chancellery for the Nazi Party - and presumed - like so many of the Nazis killed in the Berlin Bunker to have have escaped abroad. It's nuts of course, but there are a lot of nuts out there.

John Loftus in article for Tetrahedron, called The Dutch Connection, contends that the Bush family made its fortune from the Nazis, and fingers the 'goose chase' hunt for Bormann in particular.

Thomas Kleine Brockhoff was also a fierce critic of the American Extraordinary Rendition Programme in Morocco and the human rights abuses taking place at Guantanomo Bay, Haditha and Abu Ghraib. On another occasion he raised the issue of Binyam Mohamed – the Ethiopian-British National who was captured and reputedly tortured in Morocco as part of the US military’s extraordinary rendition program. On August 7, 2007, Binyam was one of five Guantanamo detainees that British Foreign Secretary David Miliband requested be freed. However, in June 2008 the U.S. military announced they were formally charging Mohammed. Thomas was, to put it midly, against everything that Baroness Neville-Jones and Baroness Hogg were trying desperately to defend (Neville-Jones also played an instrumental part in dismissal of Piers Morgan at the Daily Mirror over the fake photos of abuse at the Abu Ghraib prisons in Iraq).

Is there more to story than Gerry 'looking like Joseph Mengele' (as decribed by one forum moderator)?
