Are we sure it's Jay Rockefeller’s business dealings .. and not the family's in general??
check this out
I wouldn't be surprised if the whole family is corrupt.
Let's not forget that Wilson himself is now an international business consultant, whose "portfolio" of business "expertise" (how to do a deal) is specifically targeted with "business opportunities" in Africa. This is not so unusual for former ambassador types who did not have major "commericial" careers before their state deparment service. But, there is a history of these types using their "diplomatic" expertise and "in side the beltway" connections to further the financial aims of themselves and their clients, at the expense of U.S. foreign policy and national security concerns.
Is it no logical to wonder if Wilson's major financial friends in France - whose businesses have the most extensive business activities in Africa in the sale and extraction of strategic commodities - were actually concerned about too much scrutiny of Niger.
Let's not forget (1)the history of Iraq's nuclear program begins with France helping Sadaam get it started, (2)the "forged documents" intended to discredit interest in Niger have the fingerprints of the French intelligence service all over them (3)France was, duplicitously, (a)the unnamed source of the uncontrovertible evidence of Saddam attempting to make a uranium deal with Niger (an actual letter between Iraq and Niger confirming Saddam's desire), (b)yet they then told the US that they had also seen the "forged documents" and vouched for them as well, when internally they had already decided they were forged, (c)then waited until after the US presentation of evidence to the UN to tell the U.S. they had erred in their earlier assessment of the forged documents - which is a lie, because the "error" was in lieing to us that they ever supported the veracity of the forged documents, and (4)Wilson's personal French connections and personal connections with businesses looking to make deals in Africa - is it too much to suspect that Wilson, French business interests and French intelligence are actually hiding something with respect to Niger and uranium?
The Dumbrats hawk their "culture of corruption" mantra while UAE/Dubai puts $14 million into a westcoast consultancy who then pays millions to Bill Clinton to go make America bashing speeches in Dubai and hires Madeline Halfbright and others to get the Dubai ports deal safely through the secret CFI commission process. A lieing ex-ambassador, an idiot ex-state dept head, a lieing ex-president and all intertwined as shills for hire to some of the most unscrupulous wheelers and dealers on the planet. Whose corrupt, and whose corruption threatens our national security??
Interesting, but I tend to think Joe's trip to Niger was a free ride and board, he was already going there on business apparently.
But a Rockefeller - Desmarais conspiracy would be nice!
Bookmark & BTTT
This thing has long tentacles...and lots of them, apparently!
Agreed ... but if this can be connected directly to Senator Rockefeller ... then he is some deep trouble
And IF true .. a Democrat U.S. Senator selling the country out for money will sink the Party
The comment from the former intelligence official was interesting also
ping!
I cannot keep up! Or get it straight.
Hi, Jet. Thanks for the ping. I'll read this more carefully tomorrow. What a tangled web, huh?
I'm glad I'm not the only one....my head is spinning..but I am SO praying that Rockefeller goes DOWN...before the November elections..
I have no expectations, but I do find this oh so interesting.
LOL .. same here
