If the name of a "Big Money" Political Party Donor with ties to Enron were discovered on the Saddam's Coalition of the Bribed, what do you think would happen to the Candidate of that party?
What if that Candidate of that Party was John Kerry?
Newsweek drops a bombshell on the Kerry Campaign: Texas Oil Baron and Big-Time Democrat Donor Oscar Wyatt has received perhaps as much a $22 million dollars in profits through oil allocations bought illicity from Saddam Hussein.
From MSNBC: United Nations: Oil-for-Food Fiasco?"
Law-enforcement sources say Americans who participated in alleged oil-for-food scams also may face further investigation. The CIA deleted from Duelfer's report names of Saddam's U.S. oil-for-food favorites. But an uncensored copy of the Duelfer report obtained by NEWSWEEK indicates Houston oil mogul Oscar Wyatt got oil allocations from Saddam which could have earned him and Coastal Corp.?a company he founded and ran until 2000?profits of more than $22 million. Wyatt and wife Lynn are major donors to political causes: since 1989 they have given nearly $700,000 in contributions, of which more than $500,000 went to Democrats. Wyatt told NEWSWEEK that his company did buy oil from Saddam but that he never did so personally, and that his company's dealings all complied with U.N. rules. ?Mark Hosenball and Steve Tuttle
Who is Oscar Wyatt? More than just a oil man, he's an outspoken critic of both Gulf Wars, and a big time Democratic Party Donor...
As per Houston's Clear Thinkers:
The 10-K also disclosed that one of El Paso's units has been subpoenaed by a grand jury from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to produce records regarding the United Nations' Oil for Food Program governing sales of Iraqi oil. The unit, El Paso CGP Company, was formerly Coastal Corp., which the company acquired in January 2001. The former chairman of Coastal -- Oscar Wyatt -- was an unabashed critic of Operation Desert Storm in the first Persian Gulf War and has been a vocal public critic of El Paso's management over the past several years.
Wyatt appears to have used his ill-gotten gains wisely - buying the leftovers of Enron.
According to New Age Business:
Enron said that the company and the Official Unsecured Creditor's Committee decided the CCE offer was best. Enron previously had said NuCoastal LLC, a company run by Texas billionaire and Coastal Corp. founder Oscar Wyatt Jr. had offered $2.2 billion in May.
So how does this affect Kerry? Well, perhaps we should couch it in terms even the Old Press can understand:
Big Oil, bribed by Saddam Hussein, helped pay for John Kerry's Campaign. Money used to buy Hussein's army's guns helped pay for John Kerry's campaign. Guns used to kill American Soldiers helped pay for John Kerry's campaign...
This may explain why John Kerry thinks the war in Iraq was a mistake. I believe the mistake may be his.
John Kerry's campaign spokesperson said that,... John Kerry actually refused the donation before he decided to take it.
He coined the slogan: No Blood for Oil.
"Socialism" is the nice way of putting it.
Oscar Wyatt is one of the most despised men in all of Texas. . . and that's by the people in the oil biz.

Oscar Wyatt is perhaps the greatest of all the wildcatters. Like Rockefeller, his genius was home grown and he created a true empire. He is mild by comparison to the bad guys of yesteryear in that business. He's an empire builder. He is as much a piece of Texas as is NASA and the Alamo. I have worked in this business for many a year and know people that know him personally. He commands respect that GW nor J F'n K could never. Think illuminatti.
I heard a quote from an oilman a few years ago that went something like this, "Son, you havent worked in the oilpatch until you've been fired at least once by Oscar Wyatt"
He is a democrat, but a fool he is not. I'm sure this story will disappear any day now, sadly. POOF!
ka-boom!
bump for later reading
HUMMMMM
I posted this on the 9th. I notice they missed the Arab American PAC receiving money from one of Saddamn's bribees.
Really, check out who he donates to, he's just been flying under the radar.
Plus AlKhafaji is a dononr to the Arab American PAC that has announced support for skerry.
Why has Marc Rich's name not poped up somewhere in this? Given his history of illicit oil deals and trading, How could he not possibly be involved?

Wow! Am circulating. Thanks!
Well, HELLO....Oscar Wyatt Ping (didn't his Mother just die...not making a connection; she was very, very elderly).
