The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 209
fateful decision to secretly supply Saddam's military, including permitting shipments of dual-use
technology that Iraq then used to build chemical and biological weapons. Tactical military
assistance also was provided, including satellite photos of the battlefield.”

The US didn't only provide Iraq with the technology to build chemical and biological
weapons but they provided the chemicals, supplies and biological agents needed to make the
weapons. The US continued to supply chemical weapons to Iraq at least through 1988.
796
Ingredients for chemical weapons were supplied to Iraq almost right up to the time of the Gulf
War (GW) in 1990. Biological weapons cultures were shipped to Iraq from American Type
Culture Collection (ATCC) prior to the GW. Among others, these cultures included: anthrax,
bubonic plague and West Nile virus, which later broke out in New York and is slowly spreading
across the US.
797
Leading up to the 1991 US GW with Iraq, the Atlanta branch of the Bank of Lavoro
(BNL) made over $5 billion in loans to Iraq. These loans were guaranteed by the US government
through a program operated by the US Agriculture Department’s Commodity Credit
Corporation. The program guaranteed loans for the purchase of US farm products. The
paperwork for BNL’s loans were falsified to cover up the fact that the loans were going for
military purposes. According to Rodney Stich in Defrauding America, these were not the only
Iraqi farm loans that were intended for military purposes.
Billions went to the purchase military equipment, “including poison gas and chemicals.”
The Bush administration had been warned by federal investigators that Iraqi farm loans were
being diverted for military purposes. Not only did President Bush not take action but he “pushed
to continue the program.” These huge sums of cash not only made the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait
possible but the US taxpayer became responsible for the repaying the guaranteed loans when the
invasion of Kuwait caused the loans to become due.
798
It was Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait that led to the GW (Desert Storm). Prior to the US
invasion, the US made a secret agreement with Russia not to become involved in any US
invasion of Iraq. According to CIA operative Gunther Russbacher, he took part in securing
Mikhail Gorbachev’s, the then Russian President’s, signature in the secret agreement that Russia
would not become involved in any US war against Iraq. In exchange the US gave Russia one of
their top-secret SR-71-Blackbird reconnaissance jets (the world fastest and highest flying
production plane; it can fly anywhere virtually undetected). A flight-crew was also left behind to
train the Russians. Russbacher was involved because he spoke fluent Russian and knew
Gorbachev as a result of serving several years at the US Embassy in Moscow.
Russbacher was serving time in prison to keep him from exposing CIA criminal actions.
On July 16, 1990 Russbacher was released from prison to complete this mission. On July 18th he
arrived for a top-secret-briefing at Offutt Air Force Base and on July 26th
he flew to Moscow. As
he was readying for his trip to Moscow on July 25th which was nine days after being released
from prison specifically for this mission, “U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie assured Iraq’s Saddam
Hussein that the United States had no interest in its conflict with Kuwait. These assurances were
interpreted by Saddam Hussein as clearance to invade Kuwait, which he did several days later.
This ‘assurance’ appeared to be tied in with the plan reached at Offutt (the agreement with
Russia).”
