[ENRON AND] THE CLINTON FACTOR

AT Tuesday's Enron hearing, Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.) blamed the energy giant's death spiral on not just a "culture of corporate corruption," but also "political corruption." But the crusty Commerce Committee Chairman pointed his finger one way - at Republicans.

Cmon, we are not supposed to know that our IMF, World Bank, foreign aid and all these other taxpayer funded programs are just routed thru third world despots to wind up back in some political hacks pocket. That would be bad for "democracy".

Great synopsis.

[RottiBiz]

Wow! Mr. Sperry connects the dots precisely.

Why haven't we read articles like this before? We all know the answer.

Thanks, John. I'm bookmarking this.

Bookmarked and bumped. Thanks, John.

John you are indeed "King of the Ping". This article really connects the dots but where is Robbie Rubin??? Looklike we need a Eron/Global Crossing Project to start tying this in a tidy packag. Calling Alamo-Girl, Registered and Mia T.

Come on Fritz - have another Fritz Tizzy - until we get Enron examined under the microscope on national (cspan) television regarding the Clinton Crime Gang's involvement with his comapany.

The Rats know very well this had better not happen - but isn't it convenient that they can have one of their members have a tizzy fit rant that is highly publicized re: Enron and President Bush - gotta be a crime there.........and then a NEVER highly publicized (except here and a few alternate news sites) pull back of bre'r attack dog (Hollings was the most recent one).

Thanks, JH2 for another fanastic find!

Nothing new, no secrets, but you won't read this in the NYT or see it on the CBS news.

Another thing. The Dahbol plant might have made a go of it, except for Indian politics. This were going well at first, the the local state goverment in India where the plant is located had an election, and the party in control, who wanted the plant, lost to the opposition who didn't, and ran against it in the election with charges of bribes on Enron's part and general corruption.

After they got in power, they tried everything they could to stop it, but eventually lost in the Indian supreme court where they found basically Enron had done nothing wrong.

But they weren't done, they still tried to scuttle the plant, and eventually Enron agreed to negotiate lower power prices and other consessions, like building local roads, schools, and hospitals for the people. This area really needed the power, but things became uneconomic as they never got the lower priced LNG from Qatar to the plant as was originally proposed. Enron was also trying to develop its own offshore gas supply off the Indian coast that could be used through Enron Oil and Gas, which was later spun off as a seperate company.

The India affair was much more complex than you will normally hear about, and was not really a bad idea at the time when it was proposed. But again, politics got in the way.

Come on Fritz, everybody knows that when you point a finger at someone ther are three pointing back at you. Fritz is more senile than Strom.

Q ERTY1 + Q ERTY6 REALITY CHECK bump!

WASHINGTON - "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall."

...The geniuses of the 21st-century marketplace will now learn a sobering and exceedingly painful truth. The kindly, gentle and truly awful socialist pediatrician, Dr. Benjamin Spock, was effectively responsible for Dumpty Enron's collapse and for much else that is wrong with our Republic today.

Because of the genial old doctor, generations of decent American babies developed into troll-like kids ready to stamp and scream until they got what they wanted. Undisciplined, and having forfeited love for abhorrence, they became gargoyle-like adults, liberally laced with Prozac, whose creed was, "If you get away with it, it's cool. Getting caught is bad, so be more careful next time." Dumpty Enron got caught!

The so-called "popular press," in its usual searches for the clay feet with which they invest every well-known person, will now try to link Enron's present woes to the White House. Too bad, guys, you should have started investigating Enron's ties (ties not links) in 1993 and onward to the sales team of Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Ron Brown...

Clinton-Gore sales team eased Enron's path to success

Q ERTY1 Dumpty Enron, Humpty Dummies, McAuliffe and Dodd do-the-math-and-trace- the-quid-pro-quo-timeline REALITY CHECK bump!

 

GIVEN:

1. Terry McAuliffe is a clinton conceit, a helium-filled buffoon tethered to the predatory pair by his clinton-era-minted moneybelt.
2. clintons = corruption

CONCLUSION:

1. By the transitive property of equality and inequality: McAuliffe = corruption ("at the end of the day")

COROLLARIES:

1. The clintons, McAuliffe and (Dodd*) made "Enron" a transitive verb.
2. McAuliffe's $18M Global Crossing (NYSE: GX) machinations, (like hillary clinton's $8M "book advance" -- or her $100K bovine ("WSJ-enabled") divination) is a Peter-Principle artifact.
3. Nail McAuliffe, and you will nail the clintons.

    

HEY, HEY MARY JO!

 

So many pardons 4 sale.

 

So many rodhams & clintons to nail.

 

Hey, hey Mary Jo!

 

Can you spell R-I-C-O?

"there is clear evidence that the Clinton administration showered Enron with favors. In fact, the sequence of events seems to show a quid pro quo involving Enron donations. Under Clinton, Enron became one of OPIC's and Ex-Im Bank's biggest customers. All told, the two overseas economic-development agencies backed some 18 foreign projects for Enron with a whopping $1.7 billion in loans and insurance. Under Bush, Enron got not a dime in new funding from these agencies."

How STOOOOPID can Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) actually be?! The good folks of South Carolina, in addition to finding a Conservative replacement fer Strom Thurman, need to start looking for a replacement fer Hollings, too...he's obviously not up to the job!!

Enron didn't even score any seats on the Commerce Department's trade trip to Russia last year, the Bush administration's only trade mission so far. But it was a regular on Clinton's shady trade junkets, which documents show were coordinated with the Democratic National Committee. Enron executives landed seats on at least 11 overseas trips sponsored by the Energy and Commerce departments.

Helen Thomas Syndrome: THE SYMPTOMS

Mia T, January 3, 2002

 

The complex of symptoms associated with Helen Thomas Syndrome, (also known as 'habituated doyenne-iosis'), includes the following:

• delusions of importance
• tunnel vision -field of vision is so severely constricted that evidence of Pulitzer-quality stories are invariably missed...evidence like:
  • an absurd reason ("to get a book of poetry") for a Thanksgiving trip from Camp David to DC and back by a corrupt president under subpoena
  • a dead body: a Ron-Brown-posthumous, Ron-Brown-related, Thanksgiving-Day corpse in the Commerce offices
  • the deposition of Sonya Stewart, which tells us that "the trade mission issues were "only the tip of the iceberg -- that the really big money went towards Presidential access." Mr. Grafeld indicated to me that he believes that Ms. Moss was asking for political contributions in exchange for seats on Commerce Department trade missions, likely at the direction of Hillary Rodham Clinton, but that documents showing this illegal activity had "left the building."
  • "a huge box" hauled back to Camp David by said corrupt president under subpoena.
  • the Gestalt--the synthesis of the evidence -- the absurd reason for the president's Thanksgiving-Day Camp David-DC-Camp David trip; the Ron-Brown-posthumous, Ron-Brown-related, Thanksgiving-Day corpse; the Sonya Stewart deposition informing us that evidence of illegal Commerce activity had "left the building;" and "a huge box" hauled back to Camp David by said corrupt president under subpoena.
• left-lateral curvature of the spine -combines synergistically with tunnel vision and delusional tendencies to result in a grotesque, dysfunctional reverence for the cowardly, inept, narcissistic, seditious, corrupt rapist-pig proximate cause of 9/11.

Wall Street Project, clinton, Jesse Jackson and the Death of Ron Brown

At least in the case of Ron Brown, why aren't Americans aggressively pushing Congress and the Justice Department to get at the truth? James Dale Davidson has a theory:

 

"We're in the point of a hillbilly song, and the line was, 'We really don't want to know.' I really don't want to know. People sometimes shy away from unhappy truths."

Dying to Tell: The Mysterious Deaths of Clinton Colleagues

Jesse Jackson calls for probe of Ron Brown's death

ASHINGTON (January 6, 1998 01:18 a.m. EST -- Jesse Jackson said Monday the death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown should be investigated "to relieve people of reasonable doubt."

"There is everything to be gained from pursuing an investigation," Jackson said in an interview with New York City talk radio host Gary Byrd. "It may only prove that he was not murdered. But that would relieve people of reasonable doubt."

Air Force Lt. Col. Steve Cogswell, a deputy medical examiner at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, said in November that an unusual wound at the top of Brown's head could have been a bullet hole, and an autopsy should have been done to find out.

Cogswell did not participate in the examination of Brown's body after it was returned from Croatia. No autopsy was conducted.

Government investigators concluded that Brown died of multiple injuries sustained in the crash of the Air Force plane in which he was a passenger. The plane slammed into a mountain in Croatia in April 1996, killing all 35 aboard.

Col. William T. Gormley, the assistant armed forces medical examiner who conducted the external examination of Brown's corpse, was quoted in an Air Force statement as saying he had ruled out the possibility of a gunshot wound.

"Due to the initial appearance of Brown's injuries we carefully considered the possibility of a gunshot wound," Gormley said. "However, scientific data, including X-rays, ruled out that possibility."

But the government statements have done little to quell the controversy, especially among some influential blacks like NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and Rep. Maxine Waters, head of the Congressional Black Caucus. Both have called for further investigation of Brown's death.

Two weeks ago, civil rights activist Dick Gregory was arrested during a protest outside the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington to demand an independent investigation into Brown's death.

"I think people have a right to know what really happened," Jackson said.

 

Parallax View, Posthumous Treason

by Mia T

 

 

 

 

n 15 January 1998, standard issue clinton hush money passed flagrante delicto right under the Fourth Estate's patrician nose, the congenital skew of which apparently restricting its line of sight to the obvious payoff. (Conservative estimate puts the permanent elitist nasal tilt at 60º with the horizon compounded by a severe, left-deviated septum.)

 

You may recall that immediately after various world-class forensic experts (some of them devout Democrats who twice voted for clinton) identified a probable bullet wound atop Ron Brown's head, Reverend Jesse Jackson and his Black Caucus cohorts were literally screaming for an independent investigation of the Brown death, demanding an immediate exhumation and autopsy.

 

Two points to ponder:

 

•Under federal law Brown's cabinet position mandated an autopsy

 

•Brown died in a plane crash far more -- shall we say ambiguous -- than the crash that took the life of JFK, Jr. whose autopsy was both a given and instantaneous.

 

Back to that week in January...

It was a rather busy week for clinton, what with his own sexual-predation/perjury/obstruction-of-justice deposition on Saturday, Ken Starr combing through his congenitally corrupt wife's crimebook on Wednesday, Alexis Herman being added to that burgeoning list of corrupt cabinet clintonoids as of Thursday and Saddam jerking him around every day.

 

 

Yet Clinton somehow found the time to journey to Wall Street to aid and abet Jesse Jackson in his continued racial extortion of corporate America. The immediate payoff for Jackson -- $500,000, with potential millions to follow ($2,250,000 in 1998 alone, according to Bill O'Reilly)

 

It is noteworthy that after 15 January 1998, Jesse Jackson and the Black Caucus never again mentioned the need for an autopsy or an independent investigation of Ron Brown's death.

 

NOTE:

Reed Irvine's theory may not be that off-the-wall...

What did Baxter -- whose timely 'suicide' clearly benefitted the crooks -- know about the corruption involving the clintons and Enron?

See Milosevic/clinton Musings for relevant clinton proclivities...
