The Beneficiaries of Saddam's Oil Vouchers ^

Posted on 01/28/2004 4:56:40 PM PST by rotstan

The following report from MEMRI's Baghdad office is a translation of an article which appeared in the Iraqi daily Al-Mada,(1) which obtained lists of 270 companies, organizations, and individuals awarded allocations (vouchers) of crude oil by Saddam Hussein's regime. The beneficiaries reside in 50 countries: 16 Arab, 17 European, 9 Asian, and the rest from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Only a portion of the 270 recipients are listed and identified.

Fyi. MEMRI names some names....including Galloway, Communists and Socialists and pro-jihadists by the score, France ~ with many helpful FR links.

Reporters owe our courageous Soldiers, especially our wounded and fallen, a professional investigation into every war critic* on this list.

*and their press accomplices.

From reading what you posted, I can see why Canada wanted the sanctions lifted and was against the war. Slimy politicians with no morals at work here.

Is Sean Penn on the list?

I wonder if you could notify your contacts that the list of beneficiaries of Saddam's oil vouchers is much expanded and can be found at:

http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/oilcoupons.html

Especially enfuriating is the 10.5 million provided U.S. resident Samir Vincent. Vincent was a pro-Saddam operative who invited Raphael I Bidawid, (now deceased)head of the Iraqi Chaldean Church, and a Sunni and Shiite apologist to the USA in February 2000. After having trouble making it through customs they held meetings with Billy Graham, Jimmy Carter and US Catholic apologists for the Iraqi regime who wanted to lift sanctions. Let us hope that the FBI does not let this one slip under its miserable radar screen.

Under Russia, a Mr. Stroiev, Ural Invest Co., is listed as receiving 8.5million. This is obviously Mr. Egor Stroiev (at times Stroev), President of the Council of the Rissian Federation (Russia's upper house). If so, it only confirms that corruption exists throughout Russia's ruling elite.

"Italy 1-Roberto Formegoni/ 24.5 million"

Roberto Formigoni, President of the Lombardy Region, etc.

Roberto Formigoni (b. Lecco, Italy, 1947) is an Italian politician, and the current President of the Lombardy (Lombardia) Region in Italy.

Formigoni was very young when he began his political career in Democrazia Cristiana (DC, or the Christian Democrat party) through youth movements such as Gioventù Studentesca and Comunione e Liberazione (of which he became the most representative leader). These movements, now mostly vanished, were especially distinguished for their Catholic vision, which some declared to be a fundamentalist position. Thus these entities were not officially embodied in the political structure of DC, but were, so they claimed, inspired by the Catholic tradition of the main party and effectively supported it in practical politics, despite their severe criticism of DC's pragmatism which led to repeated concessions in favor of non-Catholic groups.

In 1976 he founded the "Popular Movement" (re-using the name of the Popolari, of which the same DC was a development) and was elected a deputy in both the European and Italian Parliaments. He was also the Vice-President of the European Parliament for 5 years and has served as "sottosegretario" (sub-secretary) in the Italian government with a delegation for environmental matters.

In 1990 he garnered attention when he was involved in a mission to Iraq which successfully concluded with the freeing of some Italian technicians who were hostages of the local government.

When DC's party was finally transformed into a dozen new parties, he joined with Pierferdinando Casini (the political heir of Arnaldo Forlani) in the founding of CDU (now in government with Silvio Berlusconi's "Polo delle Libertà"). He later moved to Forza Italia, Berlusconi's party.

He was elected the President of Lombardy in 1995.

Formigoni became famous to the general public after he publicly and repeatedly declared his virginity, as did his colleague Ms. Rosy Bindi.

Promoting a decidedly conservative platform on many issues, resulting in a political backlash from some liberal groups, President Formigoni was re- elected in 2000 carrying over 62% of the approximately 3.5 million votes.
