BETRAYAL BY THE SENATE
Fiedor Report On the News #280 ^ | 7-28-02 | Doug Fiedor

Posted on 07/27/2002 10:02:41 AM PDT by forest

There is a traitor in the Senate of the United States. He has been there for a long time because the socialists in his state keep voting for him. And no, it’s not (holy) Joe Lieberman. He is the driving force behind all of Capitol Hill's socialist organizations(1), but not necessarily an out and out traitor.

There are two members of the United States Senate who have been leaking top secret security documents -- war plans, in the latest instance -- for many years. One is now a committee chairman and in position to leak everything we have. Almost everyone on Capitol Hill knows exactly who he is, just fear mouthing the name out loud. So, they are playing games by having the FBI investigate the leaks.

This has got to be one of the stupidest games ever played in Washington. The FBI is not going to bust the responsible Senate committee chairman. He's too powerful. Instead, the FBI will search till they find a scapegoat; probably an aide who did the Senator's bidding by personally delivering the classified reports. Meanwhile, the senior Senator walks free, and continues leaking many of our nation's most sensitive documents.

Such is the way of the Senate. They have an agreement in that chamber to never accuse another member of anything. Apparently, that arrangement also extends to Clinton administration Democrats.

For instance, Senate committees made a big spectacle of publicly chiding business leaders of corporations that went bankrupt. Yet, their own Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee (and at least four other Senators), had his fingers deep in that pie. Many of the socialist organizations Lieberman set up to route campaign funds to other socialists on Capitol Hill collected big bucks from the business leaders, banks and corporations most deeply involved in the new scandals. Actually, a couple years back, it was Lieberman and friends who were most instrumental in protecting many of these bad bookkeeping businesses against interference from federal regulators.

Of course, then Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin was also involved in this with his friends in the Senate. Like certain socialist Democrat Senators, Bobby Rubin's name seems to turn up prominently when corporations perpetrating fraud on their stockholders are mentioned.

We’re not just talking about the corporations like Enron, either. Nope! These public officials were (and are) also involved with the banks that facilitated the fraud. They even had a code name for it: Roosevelt. Of course, that would be Franklin D. Roosevelt, we presume, since we are talking about perpetrating a fraud on the American people here.

According to the New York Times last week, banks like "Citigroup and J. P. Morgan Chase have been repeatedly criticized by investigators and shareholders' lawyers for structuring billions of dollars of transactions for Enron involving entities with names like Mahonia, Yosemite, Delta and Stoneville Aegean."

Rubin, of course, is paid a huge weekly salary as chairman of Citigroup's executive committee. And, if we search the campaign donation records of certain socialist Senators, we find a surprising array of names of wrongdoers making the news lately. Looking into the financial benefactors of Lieberman's socialist organizations, the same business and financial community names are found yet again.

The Roosevelt transaction, deals between Enron and the banks, and other such shenanigans, were examined in a hearing before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations last week. Afterwards, some members of the committee realized that the Roosevelt transaction violated accounting rules. "Citibank was a participant in this accounting deception," said committee chairman, Senator Carl Levin (D-MI).

Levin is probably not personally involved in this mess. However, he knows perfectly well which Senators are. Yet, his committee has no plans to question any of those perpetrators. Instead, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations seems to be doing everything it can to dance around the subject in a way that will protect all other members of the Senate.

Meanwhile, many of these very same socialist Senators are quietly working to lay off at least part of the debt of WorldCom on the American people. Apparently, some telephone long distance providers were (are) very financially involved with WorldCom. Because WorldCom went bankrupt, these long distance providers feel they will lose money. So, these corporations are seeking the permission of government to raise charges to customers to recoup what they will lose from WorldCom.

At least two of these long distance providers are also major campaign fund providers to certain Senators -- and help fund a couple of Joe Lieberman's Capitol Hill socialist groups -- so we suspect long distance telephone bills will be increasing soon.

thanks for the post. this is more fuel to the fire of my belief that the clinton administration purposely did not go after wall street corruption because it would cause a drop in stock prices. besides a high stock market being a good public relations tool to keep the current office holders in, it is also a tool to raise taxes to fund socialist big government programs. afterall, the recent budget surplusses were caused by taxes on capital gains -- which apparently were not real.

if clinton goes after big business cheaters (and there are not that many), then stocks drop and socialist programs have to be funded through other means, perhaps even the unpopular direct income tax!

on the other hand, if everyone knows who this leaking senator is, why is it not printed in this article? i prefer to act on fact, not rumors and gossip. i question the author's intent and sincerity even thought i probably align very well with his ideals.

Politicians are like bananas.....they start out green, turn yellow, then if they hang around long enough, become rotten. We need to rid ourselves of career politicians. To the Kennedys...it's the family business. Strom Thurmond who is probably senile and in a wheel chair will probably die right there in the senate. Like parasites...once they get attached, it's hard to get rid of them. If they can't get elected from one state...they'll shop around till they find one more suitable. Once they get moved in, they are set for life.

Term limits won't solve all our problems....but it would eliminate a train load of them.

Especially liked the metaphor. The response that makes sense to me is ... "I'm (we're) mad as hell and I'm (we're) not going to take it anymore." Thanks.

And Orrin Hatch is the other.

Hatch, who blabbed his mouth all over tv that the NSA had been tracking Bin Laden's satellite phone calls, after which Bin Laden stopped using it.

Hang 'em both I say.

What exactly are we going to do about it?

What ever happened to that part of the Republicans’ 1994 Contract with America? I guess they changed their minds after they were elected, and became just like Democrats.
