Two munitions dealers, Hassan Saied Keshari and Traian Bujduveanu, were arrested in 2008 for conspiring to export US-made military aircraft parts to Iran in violation of export laws and sanctions. The affidavit alleged that since 2006, the men had procured parts like those for helicopters and fighter jets in the US and shipped them to Iran via the UAE. A search of their properties uncovered boxes of parts. They were charged with conspiring to violate export laws and face prison time and fines if convicted. The case was part of efforts to prevent sensitive US technology from reaching countries like Iran.

This document is an indictment charging James Wilbur Fondren Jr. with conspiracy to act as an unregistered foreign agent, unlawful communication of classified information, and making false statements. It alleges that from 2001 to 2008, Fondren used his position at the Pentagon to provide classified US government information to Tai Shen Kuo and PRC Official A, in exchange for payments, to benefit the Chinese government despite not having authorization to share such information. The indictment contains evidence of emails between Fondren, Kuo and the Chinese official related to sharing US defense reports and strategy documents.

He has an extensive history as an extremist involved in jihad and terrorist activities in Bosnia, Algeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Detainee worked for over two years at an Islamic school in Pakistan with ties to extremism and admits to extensive travel throughout the Middle East. He was arrested in October 2001 along with other members of the cell for the embassy plot and poses a continued threat if released.
Detainee is assessed to be an Anti-Coalition Militias (ACM) member suspected of participating in the 27 March 2003 murder of an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) worker in Afghanistan.

Eu us denuclear diplomacy and the future of global security in post-cold war ...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the EU and US efforts at nuclear diplomacy with Iran through economic sanctions and negotiations in order to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It outlines how the US imposed sanctions on Iran in the 1990s and lobbied the EU to also pressure Iran. The EU responded by suspending trade negotiations with Iran in 2003 until Iran signed an additional nuclear protocol. However, the document expresses concern that the success of EU-US diplomacy remains uncertain and questions global security if Iran does not comply with non-proliferation agreements.
Detainee was a senior Taliban official who served as Minister of Interior, Governor of Herat province, and military commander. He was directly associated with al-Qaeda and Taliban leadership. Following 9/11, detainee represented the Taliban in meetings with Iran seeking support against U.S. forces. He also attended a meeting directed by Osama bin Laden. Detainee was involved in narcotics trafficking and likely used profits to support Taliban interests. The document provides detainee's background and capture information, evaluates his statements, and assesses him as a continued high threat who may have valuable intelligence.

September 11, 2001
Every adult in America can tell you where they were when airplanes began to crash into important American landmarks on September 11, 2001 killing thousands of innocent Americans. The international terrorist attack forever changed America and woke the country up to the potential threats facing the nation. This day will never be forgotten and any illusions of safety have forever been shattered. Never before have there been an international terrorist attack on American soil this devastating. Nineteen Islamic extremists hijack four American airplanes murdering thousands of innocent Americans. The events on 9/11 resulted in the death of over 3,000 Americans with 400 being first responders that went into the Twin Towers in order to rescue the injured.
Participants, Planning, Objectives, and Execution
The attacks on 9/11 were committed by 19 Islamic terrorists that made up different terrorists cells in the country. The 19 men entered the country legally, obtained legitimate jobs, and quietly planned the devastating attacks. The success of the September 11 plot depended on the ability of the hijackers to obtain visas and pass an immigration and customs inspection in order to enter the United States (). The 19 terrorist were also able to go undetected in the country for several years while along making contact with members of the Al Qaeda terrorist group and planning the devastating attacks. At no time were the terrorists detected or the devastating attacks would have failed.

Eu us denuclear diplomacy and the future of global security in post-cold war ...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the EU and US efforts at nuclear diplomacy with Iran through economic sanctions and negotiations in order to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. It outlines how the US imposed sanctions on Iran in the 1990s and lobbied the EU to also pressure Iran. The EU responded by suspending trade negotiations with Iran in 2003 until Iran signed an additional nuclear protocol. However, the document expresses concern that the success of EU-US diplomacy remains uncertain and questions global security if Iran does not comply with non-proliferation agreements.
Detainee was a senior Taliban official who served as Minister of Interior, Governor of Herat province, and military commander. He was directly associated with al-Qaeda and Taliban leadership. Following 9/11, detainee represented the Taliban in meetings with Iran seeking support against U.S. forces. He also attended a meeting directed by Osama bin Laden. Detainee was involved in narcotics trafficking and likely used profits to support Taliban interests. The document provides detainee's background and capture information, evaluates his statements, and assesses him as a continued high threat who may have valuable intelligence.

September 11, 2001
Every adult in America can tell you where they were when airplanes began to crash into important American landmarks on September 11, 2001 killing thousands of innocent Americans. The international terrorist attack forever changed America and woke the country up to the potential threats facing the nation. This day will never be forgotten and any illusions of safety have forever been shattered. Never before have there been an international terrorist attack on American soil this devastating. Nineteen Islamic extremists hijack four American airplanes murdering thousands of innocent Americans. The events on 9/11 resulted in the death of over 3,000 Americans with 400 being first responders that went into the Twin Towers in order to rescue the injured.
Participants, Planning, Objectives, and Execution
The attacks on 9/11 were committed by 19 Islamic terrorists that made up different terrorists cells in the country. The 19 men entered the country legally, obtained legitimate jobs, and quietly planned the devastating attacks. The success of the September 11 plot depended on the ability of the hijackers to obtain visas and pass an immigration and customs inspection in order to enter the United States (). The 19 terrorist were also able to go undetected in the country for several years while along making contact with members of the Al Qaeda terrorist group and planning the devastating attacks. At no time were the terrorists detected or the devastating attacks would have failed.
The planning for the attacks began with the twenty three visas that were applied for by Islamic extremists bent on becoming martyrs for Islam. Out of the twenty three visas twenty two were granted. Several of the men entered the country to attend universities that would give them the necessary skills to pilot a 747 aircraft. The terrorist began entering the country in January of 2000 and many were successful in leaving the country and having no problems with reentry. The hijackers entered the country through Floridian airports and airports in New York and Washington, D.C.
The four pilots responsible for flying the planes into buildings are Mohammed Atta, Hani Hanjour, Ziad Samir Jarra, and Marwan al Shehhi but there were other hijackers being trained to fulfill the pilot positions. The four pilots were able to enter and exit the country 17 times without being detected. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind behind the attacks while Ali Abdul Aziz Ali was the group’s financial facilitator. Only one of the hijackers entered the country on an academic visa while the others entered the country on tourist visas.

The U.S. Invasion of Iraq, 2003
States like [Iraq, Iran, and North Korea] and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of
evil. . . . By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing
danger. . . . I will not wait on events while dangers gather.
—President George W. Bush, State of the Union, January 29, 2002
For us, war is always the proof of failure and the worst of solutions, so everything must
be done to avoid it.
—President Jacques Chirac to a joint session of the French and German parlia-
ments, January 2003
Dividends of Misjudgment
President George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq on March 20, 2003, was not a
blunder on the scale of those of Napoleon, Hitler, and Tojo.1 There was a case to be
made on several grounds for operations against Saddam Hussein. The initial phase of
combat was highly successful, and some still argue that the American investment was
worth the cost of toppling the Saddam regime. Bush was reelected in November of
2004 as much because of as despite his invasion of Iraq. His subsequent 2007 decision
to launch the “surge” did limit some of the damage.
The main premise for the war was that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction
(WMDs) and that these were at risk of falling into the hands of terrorists. In the end,
however, there were no such weapons, and Saddam’s links to al Qaeda were unproven.2
This robbed the invasion of legitimacy. The insurgency that ensued after initial combat
operation robbed the invasion of success. Today, the United States has less influence
in Baghdad than Iran does. Iraq is a Shia-dominated state with an alienated Sunni
minority, rampant violence, and virtually no control over the Kurdish north. At least
134,000 Iraqis died as a direct result of the American invasion, and the violence there
continues.

An Iranian national and his company pled guilty to conspiring to illegally export military aircraft parts to Iran. They purchased parts from a supplier in Florida and shipped them to Iran through Dubai, using false shipping documents. The parts were for aircraft in the Iranian military, including F-14 fighter jets. The defendant faces up to 5 years in prison and fines. The case is part of a larger initiative to crack down on illegal weapons exports.
The document summarizes the 9/11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath. On September 11, 2001, Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers in New York City and one into the Pentagon. Passengers on the fourth plane crashed it in a field in Pennsylvania. In response, President Bush signed the Patriot Act to expand surveillance. Airport security increased and racial profiling of Arabs rose, though decreased by 2002-2003. The US military launched conflicts in the Middle East, straining the economy and populace through prolonged war and fearmongering.

The United States government conducted a large raid involving over 30 agents from numerous agencies on Traian Bujduveanu's residence to seize assets. The lead prosecutors claimed in court that the assets were worth over $100,000, but they ended up being less than $10,000 in value, consisting of antique aircraft parts. The massive raid was unnecessary and terrorized Bujduveanu's 84-year-old blind mother, who was sent to the hospital. Witnesses state that Bujduveanu had been under surveillance for over a year before the raid. The government's actions seem aimed at justifying the expenses of the investigation rather than appropriately addressing the matter.
This document lists the names of various government agencies and individuals, including Jeb Bush, the Department of Justice, ICE agents, US Attorneys, Assistant Attorney Generals, FBI agents, and others. It also references concepts like government conspiracies, revolutions in Romania and Iran, corruption in government, and crimes against humanity.

Munitions Dealers Arrested for Conspiracy to Export Military
Aircraft Parts to Iran
by: jim kouri | published: 07 02, 2008
Defendants Hassan Saied Keshari and Traian Bujduveanu were arrested on June 20 and 21 on charges of conspiring to expor
military aircraft parts to Iran, according to a report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police.
The two suspects are charged in a federal criminal complaint with conspiring to violate the International Emergency Econom
Powers Act, the United States Iran Embargo, and the Arms Export Control Act for their participation in a conspiracy to expo
U.S.-made military aircraft parts to the Iranian military.
According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Keshari owns and operates Kesh Air International, a bus
located in Novato, California. Bujduveanu owns and operates Orion Aviation Corp., located in Plantation, Florida.
The affidavit alleges that since August 2006, Keshari and Bujduveanu have procured US-made military aircraft parts in the U
States for buyers in Iran and have illegally shipped the parts to a company in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for shipment to b
in Iran.
Keshari allegedly received the orders for specific parts by e-mail from buyers in Iran. Keshari then requested quotes, usually
mail, from Bujduveanu and made arrangements with Bujduveanu for the sale and shipment of the parts to a company in Dub
From Dubai, the parts were then shipped on to Iran.
Among the aircraft parts that Keshari and Bujduveanu are alleged to have obtained and illegally shipped to buyers in Iran are
for the CH-53 military helicopter, the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, and the AH-1 attack helicopter. Keshari is also alleged to have
requested quotes for other parts for other military aircraft, including F-4 Phantom aircraft.
All of these aircraft are known to be used primarily, if not exclusively, by the Iranian military. Moreover, all of the parts supp
by Keshari and Bujduveanu are manufactured in the United States, are designed exclusively for military use, and have been
designated by the United States Department of State as "defense articles" on the United States Munitions List, thus requiring
registration and licensing with the DDTC. Neither Keshari nor Bujduveanu are registered or had the required license to ship
defense articles to Iran.
Shortly before midnight on Friday, June 20, 2008, federal agents arrested Keshari at Miami International Airport as he walke
flight from Atlanta. A search warrant was executed on Kesh Air International, in California, on Friday, June 20, 2008. Defen
Bujduveanu was arrested at his Plantation, FL, home on Saturday, June 21, 2008. Federal agents executed a search warrant a
Bujduveanu's home and business immediately after his arrest. Agents found boxes of military aircraft parts stored on Bujduv
property, including hundreds of parts for the C-130, the F-5, and other military aircraft.
Both defendants made their initial appearances in federal court before a United States Magistrate Judge.
The complaint, charges the defendants with conspiring to illegally export "defense articles," and to export US made articles t
and if convicted, the defendants face statutory maximum sentences ranging from five (5) years' imprisonment to twenty (20)
imprisonment, and face fines of up to $1 million.
"Disrupting illegal procurement networks that attempt to circumvent our sanctions against Iran is a top priority of the Bureau
Industry and Security," said FBI Special Agent in Charge, Michael Johnson.
"This case demonstrates the importance of team work in preventing diversion of sensitive U.S. goods," he added.
Special Agent in Charge Christopher Amato, of the Pentagon's Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Southeast Field Offic
said, "The illegal diversion of U.S. military technologies through deception, particularly to countries such as Iran, is treacher
and dangerous to the U.S. and its allies."
According to government officials, the national security implications of this case cannot be underestimated. This investigatio
foiled a potentially dangerous scheme to sell and distribute sensitive US military equipment. In the wrong hands, technology

this could be used to inflict harm upon America or its allies. ICE will continue to aggressively pursue those who violate U.S.
export laws and ensure the sale and distribution of defense articles is done in a lawful manner.

A New American Story
“World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, whether it is to do with national issues or commerce; and
of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings”
Denis Healey, former British Defense Minister
On January 3, 2011, Traian Bujduveanu will be released from a federal halfway house to return to his family in Plantation, F
And halfway is precisely how it feels to him. He will have his freedom, but not his good name.
The government took that from him in June of 2008 when they used explosives to blast open the doors to his home in order t
execute a raid at six o’clock in the morning. They took it when they struck his blind and elderly mother as they marched thro
his home, eventually dragging Bujduveanu in handcuffs from his bedroom into the backyard.
It was a scene reminiscent of war time videos taken by imbedded photo journalists in Iraq or Afghanistan, but the similarities
not just visual. The details are all too remindful of stories of betrayal at the hands of the American government. The same
government that, in times past and present, seeks out the help of Iraqi or Afghanistan, or Vietnamese, citizens to overthrow th
government, only to be thrown themselves beneath the wheels of democracy when it suited American interests to do so.
Like his name, Bujduveanu’s story is complex, until you break it down into smaller parts and review it a few times so that it
becomes familiar. Traian Bujduveanu, a naturalized citizen of the United States, was recruited by the American government
in the 1980’s to assist in its plans to overthrow the communist regime of his native Romania. Two decades later, that same
government accused Bujduveanu of conspiring to export military aircraft parts to Iran. In the process they were sufficiently a
threaten and intimidate him until he plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit. The question of why – why did the governmen
fabricate this case, is just as complex and, yet, just as simple.
Bujduveanu came to the United States, to New York City, from Romania in 1974 with his family. He was 18 years old and fi
with optimism. This was America, land of the free, and a place where anyone could succeed through hard work and determin
After six years in the United States, Bujduveanu applied for and was granted citizenship in his adopted home. His parents and
sisters also became naturalized citizens.
But they were not the first in the Bujduveanu family to take this path. His family and all ancestors were born in Greek-Maced
near the ancient city of Pela. By the late 1930’s Greece, through the Greek Secret Services, had begun an aggressive campaig
confiscate territory and property from ancient Macedonia and its people, employing a form of ethnic cleansing in its wake. B
1939 there was a mass exodus from Greek-Macedonia, also known as ancient Macedonia, with half settling in far away Aust
Canada and the United States. While Traian’s grandfather fled to Romania, his grandfather’s brother immigrated to the Unite
States, settling in New York. There Traian’s young uncle, Ionel, enlisted as a pilot in the United States Army during World W
Along with thousands of other pilots, Ionel was assigned to Operation Ploiesti, making dangerous daylight bombing raids aga
petroleum refineries in oil rich Romania. During the latter stages of World II, Romania, in the concert with the German/ Itali
axis of power, was supplying as much as a third of petroleum Hitler’s forces needed on the eastern front against Russia. Beca
Ionel’s extensive ties in Romania, the U.S. Army agreed to change his legal name to John Nicholas should he be shot down i
of the raids and there be reprisals against the Bujduveanu clan.
It was this story of his uncle that inspired Traian to enter the Spartan College of Aeronautics in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with the go
getting a pilot’s license. He graduated in 1980 with a degree in Avionics and Instruments.
In 1984 Bujduveanu moved to Florida where he began working for a company called New World Aviation. He quickly found
himself in sales, assisting the company as it grew and expanded, selling to foreign governments and their military, throughou
Central and South America.
A year later, agents of the United States government approached Bujduveanu to enlist his assistance in its efforts to bring dow
dictatorial government of Nicolae Ceausescu. After World War II, Romania had fallen under Russia control and influence, le
to a succession of repressive communist leadership, ultimately culminating with the installment of Ceausescu in 1965. Ceaus
vacillating between support of Russian submission and Romanian independence, but maintained absolute control throughout
wavering in his fervor for the Marxist concept.

Bujduveanu possessed all the qualities the U.S. government desired. Although born in a small village, his family moved to
Bucharest, Romania’s capital, when he was still an infant. He grew up with Romania’s political elite, many of whom attained
important government offices themselves when their time came. Some were even placed in highly sensitive security position
Bujduveanu had been able to maintain friendship and contacts from his childhood as he returned to Romania year after year o
holiday, and occasionally business.
He was obviously fluent in the Romanian language, as well as Macedonian. He was additionally fluent in English and had pi
up some Spanish-language skills during his travels throughout Latin America. Although a Romanian citizen by birth, Bujduv
was a proud citizen of the United States and a firm believer in democracy.
“If Greece was the cradle of democracy,” Bujduveanu is fond of saying, “then Macedonia was its birthplace.”
Of course he would help the American government in its opposition to the corrupt communist regime in his home country in
name of democracy. Although he was a willing soldier in the cover war, he was not a spy, not in the Hollywood sense of the
He was not involved in any kind of assassinations or death squads. His job was to target high level assets and gather informa
He left New World Aviation and began his own business, Orion Aviation Corporation, a modest company which he operated
his home in Florida. But it was more than a front for his clandestine services, it was part of his dream, the same American dre
that brought his family here in the first place.
Ultimately, the Ceausescu regime was toppled over the course of a single week, from December 16 through 22 in 1989.
“Minor incidents in the Transylvania city of Timisoara led to violence, which quickly spread to other cities.” – Encyclopedia
Britannica, 15th Edition (1995).
Ceausescu was arrested, tied and executed on Christmas Day. Bujduveanu’s picture had been taken shaking the leader’s hand
months before.
“I am familiar with these events and the role of the U.S. government in them,” Bujduveanu admits. “But it’s not important. W
important is that Romania is once again a democracy, and a better democracy than what we have here now. Of course I’m tal
about the government, the corruption of the United States government in recent years.”
Bujduveanu is quick to add, “It is the government and not the American people. But if they don’t wake up, if the American p
does not begin to hold their government responsible for its actions, they will lose what rights and what democracy they have
After the fall of Ceausescu, all seemed right with the world. Orion Aviation was doing well, following the same line of busin
his former employer, but with more of a focus in Eastern Europe and Pacific Rim countries. But the U.S. government and its
agents were never far behind, contacting him regularly for input on a variety of issues.
Bujduveanu’s arrest and search warrant were executed on June 21, 2008, and he and his family were not very fortunate.
The sound of the explosion when government agents blew open his front door, combined with the ensuing smoke, prompted
neighbor to jump over his fence to investigate, worried that something was wrong. He was met by half a dozen men dressed i
SWAT-style gear who told him to return to his home. When he asked what had happened they told him he could read all abo
the tomorrow’s newspapers. But what his neighbor wouldn’t read about was Bujduveanu’s mother, who suffered was later
diagnosed as a heart attack. Officials called a fire and rescue ambulance for her, but later sent it away after she was stabilized
attempt to cover up the incident.
Frustrated in not being able to find what they were looking for, a squad of agents and officers began digging, literally, with s
found on the property.
Interestingly, the government claims to have “found boxes of military aircraft parts stored on Bujduveanu’s property, includi
hundreds of parts for the C-130, the F-5, and other military aircrafts.”
The court, in its limited wisdom, has decided not to allow Bujduveanu to present a multitude of proofs on appeal by granting
government’s “Motion in Limine”, filed after it saw the defensive evidence he planned to present on appeal. It is an obscure
maneuver that “preclude(s) the Defendant from challenging these (parts) classifications in Court or at trial,” or otherwise in p
The government’s motion goes on: “In the sampling of the Defendant’s filings attached hereto …, the Defendant attempts to
explain that the parts at issue are not military or are not suitable for military use because they are used antiqued parts. This
“explanation” would be irrelevant to any judiciable issue at trial.
At this Bujduveanu’s demeanor change and he is no longer the stoic protagonist. Struggling to maintain his emotion he asks,
“What are they trying to hide? Why don’t they discuss this in the open? In fact, Iran has a firm order for 250 MIG-29 and 250
27 aircrafts, or because the Iran Aircraft Industry manufactures its own aircrafts including a variant of the F-5 aircraft, or bec
the Iranian Helicopter Industry has been placed there and is manufactured its own Bell Helicopters. Do they really need 40 y
old junk parts? Or is this the kind of noise that we need to make before we enter into Iran in order to create another revolutio
there? Can anybody see that we are a total failure when it comes down to foreign policy and relations?” Bujduveanu’s frustra
grows with each question. He is frustrated with the court’s compliance with the government in keeping him silent when they
so publicly humiliated him. There was no court stepping in to stop the federal government, or the multitude of separate gover
agencies from putting out their own press releases after his arrest. No judge to keep government friendly websites, indeed som
government sponsored websites, from presenting a one-side view – the prosecution’s view, before he had been arraigned. No
higher authority to protect him from being tried in the press, at the behest of the government, so that this same government co
use it all against him in pressuring him to plead guilty. Everyone questioned and interrogated by the government where quoti
federal agents saying, “There is a lot of pressure from above …” Pressure by whom? Who were these people above?
“And these lists – the Munitions Control List and the Commerce Control List, they are available to anyone on the Internet. T
show the part numbers and descriptions. They show the classifications. So what are they afraid of? Why won’t they let me m
my case in the court?”

But Bujduveanu did have his day in the court, and he pleaded guilty to the charges. On April 2, 2009, Bujduveanu appeared i
Southern District of Florida courtroom and capitulated to the government’s singular charge of conspiracy to illegally export
military and dual use aircraft parts to Iran. He reentered the same court on June 11, 2009, for sentencing: 35 months in federa
prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release.
“You must understand how the government works. When they arrested me they put me in a SHU (Special Housing Unit),
completely isolated and sleeping on the floor for the first ten days. My attorney had to plead with the court to take me down t
general population area. This is here in the United States, not some Third World country.”
“The government threatened me with other charges, crazy charges. All lies. But remember, I’ve seen them lie. They are very
at lying. This I’ve experienced first hand,” Bujduveanu says with an almost casual reference to his past dealings with govern
agents during the Romanian plot. “I had to think of my elderly mother and my son.”
Bujduveanu has a seventeen year old son who lives with his ex-wife only a few miles from his home. Their residence was als
searched, computers confiscated and his son’s vacation money seized.
Additionally, Bujduveanu had no access to his documents or the Internet in order to properly aid in his defense. He went thro
three different lawyers before he was able to find someone with the expertise to help him. By then he had pled guilty and had
sentenced, but still held out hope for his appeal. Then the court, in alliance with the government, instituted the gag order, giv
him little to hope for at this point, like being halfway home.
All were in the overused name of national defense and homeland security. Indict and convict, but don’t allow the defendant t
on a defense or appeal by confronting their accusers or challenging the evidence. With the stroke of an executive order pen h
and a government sponsored gag order there, a new American story is told.
But that still doesn’t answer the original question. Why? And why Traian Bujduveanu? As one recent U.S. president said, sim
because they can.
The United States foreign policy efforts since the Iraqi war have been dismal. Friendly or otherwise empathetic countries aro
the world have been hesitant to give America the same kind of carte blank support they once did in the immediate aftermath
09/11. This is particularly true of the cautious, or even skeptical, view countries take with regard to America stands regarding
In a related case this past May, a French court refused an American request to extradite an Iranian businessman who was acc
of violating an American embargo on exports to Iran. Majid Kakavand, 37, had been arrested at a Paris airport in March of 2
an American warrant. But the French government prosecutor opposed the extradition request noting that Kakavand had not
violated French law and that the equipment involved “was not necessarily military in nature.” (The New York Times, Thursd
May 6, 2010)
So the American government seeks to achieve their goals by finding scapegoats here at home, backed by the courts and, in
particular, a conservative Supreme Court found to be even more conservative in its interpretations of the War Powers Act.
Lastly, through fear and intimidation, the government acquires the assistance of its citizens in combating the “axis of evil” at
turn. The message is: “Be afraid, be very afraid, to do business with anyone of Iranian decent or affiliation.” The government
not be able to get away with racial profiling, but its citizens can.
Everyone involved in this case have disappeared. The PSI officer, the lawyers, the state attorney, the federal agents, and none
the agencies involved in this case faded away. The only two people remaining in this case are Bujduveanu and Judge Seitz.
Case in point: Arizona’s new illegal alien law makes it a crime for anyone to give aid to an illegal alien. If a driver pulled ove
a simple traffic stop is found to have an illegal alien in their vehicle, they have committed a crime by giving them a ride. Ave
citizens are required to determine if each passenger is legally on this side of the border. The simplest way to achieve the goal
not give a ride to anyone with a Spanish surname, a Spanish accent or a brown skin tone not attribute to the Arizona sun.
But that’s another new American story.

On June 21, 2008, the United States by and through the following agencies: Federal Bureau of Investigations, United States
Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, National Security Agency, United States Custom
Office, United States Immigration Department of Defense Criminal Investigation Service, Department of Treasury - Office o
Foreign Assets Control, Plantation Police Department, Broward County Sheriff Department, Plantation Fire and Rescue Serv

United States Marshall, did raid Traian Bujduveanu’s residence.
This raid requiring over 30 agents to overwhelm any resistance which may have been offered by Traian Bujduveanu or his ei
four year old blind mother, permitted the government to seize extremely valuable assets which according to the lead prosecut
for the United States were claimed in Court to be worth more than “$ 100,000 from the boxes alone”, not including the cash
computers.
Contrary to the representations made by the assistant United States attorney in her place as an attorney before the bar in the o
court, during the preconvention motion, the assets seized were less than $ 10,000.00 rather than considerable “ over $ 100,00
aircraft parts and consisted of antiqued aircraft parts, this even after an extensive search involving dozens of agents digging h
in the Traian Bujduveanu’s garden.

had chosen to detain Traian Bujduveanu while at or on the way to Publix the previous day, or had the United States calmly
knocked on the door with a search warrant instead of terrorizing an eighty-four year old blind woman and sending her to the
hospital by striking her.
According to the witnesses that have been questioned or interrogated, Traian Bujduveanu was under surveillance since 2007,
which represents considerable time before the raid, and could have been detained without the need to break in and breakdown
doors, causing unneeded damages to the property and by standers.
Apparently, the bureaucratic imperative of needing to justify the expenses of this misadventure create sufficient rationale for
United States Attorney’s Office to behave in a manner more consistent with Romania’s former communism regime than the s
of the “taking clause” in the United States Constitution.
It is regrettable Bujduveanu’s prior counsels, openly admitted, they were afraid to challenge the United States otherwise this
could have been more promptly addressed.
A current colleague of Bujduveanu has said it is a shame to hear this type of fear comment from any citizen, let alone attorne
because when the government’s citizens have become afraid of the government, especially where it involves the citizens
willingness to speak the truth, “the government no longer has legitimate authority to govern”.
The government conducted a massive investigation to get a handful of used parts, which if presented to a jury would have res
not only in acquittal, but made the government a laughing stock.
Bujduveanu regrets buckling into the coercion of the government and his innate fear of government instead of properly prese
the case to court and public and having his day in court.
