State IG's Brother Quits Blackwater

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 16, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP)-- The brother of embattled State Department Inspector General Howard Krongard quit as an adviser to Blackwater Worldwide on Friday, two days after the relationship with the security contractor was sharply criticized by a congressional oversight committee.

<...>

Alvin Krongard never received any payment for his work on Blackwater's advisory board, which only met once, Prince said.

Prince said there no allegations of impropriety against Alvin Krongard for his membership on Blackwater's board, a group recently created to help the North Carolina-based security company plan future business activities.

Blackwater is a major State Department contractor and the subject of ongoing federal investigations. One of those is examining whether Blackwater guards violated use-of-force rules during a Sept. 16 shooting in Baghdad that left 17 Iraqis dead.

Blackwater's Brothers

1. Uh huh.

Just seemed like a good idea at the time.

[marmar]

2. Sorry. Your bro still lied under oath.

:nopity:

[Atman]

7. Please, there is no sense looking to the past. We must move forward!

Here it comes. "He meant well. A little mistake. No sense in revisiting old news."

3. my, my, my...

No doubt this will allow him to spend more time with his family...

16. If his family is anything like his brother's family, that's not such a good thing.

Son Seeks Restraining Order on Official

The son and daughter-in-law of State Department Inspector General Howard J. Krongard have asked a judge to issue a restraining order forcing him to stop sending "unprofessional and highly offensive" e-mails that suggested the family would be put "on the street" if they lost a lawsuit Krongard has filed against them, according to documents filed last week in a New Jersey court.

Krongard filed suit last year against his son, Kenneth W. Krongard, and his daughter-in-law, Kristin, over a home loan that he said they had defaulted on. They paid back the full loan -- then totaling about $320,000 -- within weeks of his suit being filed.

But Krongard has demanded hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional interest and penalties and a full repayment of his legal fees. One of the exhibits on file in the case show that Krongard has claimed he has already been billed nearly $114,000 in legal fees.

His children suggested that Krongard was violating legal ethics by bypassing the lawyers and sending them threatening communications. In Krongard's e-mails included in last week's filing, he repeatedly berates his son, including denigrating his choice of lawyer. "As much as you despise me, do you really want to bet your family's future ON Barry Donohue and AGAINST me?" he asked on Aug. 12, referring to the lawyer.

Krongard Family Values

[bobthedrummer]

18. I know my BFEE, it's a family affair-the Krongard brothers "Cookie" and "Buzzy"

share those family values, like "Father Knows Best"...

[bobthedrummer]

22. kick

[ClassWarrior]

4. Sorta like Cheney** "quit" Halliburton, right?

:puke:

NGU.

[Disturbed]

5. The FBI found that Blackwater Mercs are guilty of 14 Murders.

Isn't that sufficient for the Govt. to drop all contracts with this Merc Group?

[seemslikeadream]

6. Burson-Marsteller

will take care of that little problem

[bobthedrummer]

10. Alvin handled a lot of Halliburton shares and "investments" for that domestic enemy of

The United States of America ClassWarrior, see post 9.

NGU.

Impeach George Walker Bush next!

[Snarkoleptic]

8. I'd much rather see the IG resign over this.

BTW...wasn't Buzzy somehow involved in the Florida flight schools that trained the 9/11 LIHOP jihadists?
I can't find a working link on this...but recall he was a player in this seedy drama.

And otherwise involved in profiting from this LIHOP...

FTW, October 9, 2001 - Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Until 1997 A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown. A.B. Brown was acquired by Banker's Trust in 1997.

9. Because Erik Prince says so...

And as for Alvin's other "business" interests, what else can be said? He was with Deutsche Bank which held 8.3 million shares of Halliburton, he was with the oldest investment banking firm in the US Alex Brown Inc., he was with Bankers Trust-gee, all the cool places for black budget networking, destabilization, etc.

Then last August he joined the Board of Directors of Iridium ("privatized" ears and eyes in the skies)

And although George Tenet appointed him #3 guy at CIA, there was a long standing "association" well before that.

Those spooky "old school ties" from Yale probably included Porter Goss and John Negroponte-both of which were members of another Yale secret society-not Skull and Bones, but The Fence Club aka Psi Upsilon-seen posing in this Fence Club picture from 1960

14. Oh I forgot to mention that in that 1960 Yale photo Porter Goss is in the front row

sitting right next to Poppy's baby brother, William Henry Trotter Bush.

The Bush Family Evil Empire/BFEE, a lot of US know them now.

I'll repost it

I'll bet that fine old Baltimore family the Krongards often got together with some of those in the picture, the "elite"-and I wonder if the Baltimore Krongard's social network included Madame Speaker's family the D'Alesandro's when her dad was a US Congressman and later Mayor of Baltimore?

Nah, probably not-just another coincidence.

[bobthedrummer]

11. In a representational Constitutional democracy just this latest revelation

would result in impeachment, indictments, and punishment-but we had a RW coup in 2000 that still retains control-these people are traitors and domestic enemies of The United States of America and most of the leadership in Congress are complicit in enabling their ongoing criminal activites-including treason.

[havocmom]

12. Any mention of a golden parachute?

Leaving a corrupt but financially rewarding little group like Blackwater when your bro is IG for State? It's a valid question. There's many ways to spell b-r-i-b-e

[bobthedrummer]

13. It's much worse than that-these are traitors and domestic enemies of

The United States of America, how much clearer can it be said?

As far as spelling and words, havocmom, here are a few.

The f word is FASCISM, that's what we have and it came about through a coup. Just like those n word did, NAZIS. And pretty soon it may go totalitarian.

[havocmom]

15. I know they are traitors, btd. But we need to get retirees and near-retirees mad enough

to take the lead against these corporate criminals who take money for destroying America

[bobthedrummer]

17. There is great anger indeed havocmom, and as the truth is revealed

it is growing-yet the change of leadership for the most part is complicit.

And so much of the leadership comes from dynastic families that are still on those corporate boards and silent shareholders that worship the allmighty dollar above all else-now they're converting it into euros or other stronger coins of their realm--what was ours that they ripped off, then hid their crimes and called it "national security" for their "HOMELAND (tm)".

Woe!
:grr:

[bobthedrummer]

19. This is beyond outrageous-this is HOMELAND (tm) of the domestic enemies

of The United States of America.

[bobthedrummer]

20. And today "Cookie's" lawyer asked that no hearings be held because it would alienate two brothers!

Imagine that, it's absolutely true...

[bobthedrummer]

21. While we're at it, remember James Woolsey-a DI during the Clinton admin?

He's a flaming neo-con of the Podhoretz/Shulsky camp when it comes to Iran, he signed the PNAC letter to President Clinton urging action against Iraq.

I wonder if those two brothers from that fine Baltimore family, the Krongards, know Jimmy, he's not afraid of WW IV, he's all for it. And those spooky ties last for generations. Jimmy is a Yale man, as well as a Rhodes scholar.
