Anne Bingaman, wife of Senator Jeff Bingaman*, was paid a record $2 million for six months' lobbying FCC on behalf of Global Crossings.

Terry McAuliffe made $18 million on $100,000 investment in Global Crossings he dumped just before it tanked.

*Bingaman seated Charlie Yah Lin Trie on his commission to Beijing at the specific behest of his friend Bill Clinton--to whom Trie had just delivered a half-million dollars in a grocery bag.

Yes, and Trie also delivered a message from Beijing in his "Dear President" letter blackmailing Clinton to remove our carriers from the Taiwan Strait.

Clinton had PLA Gen. Xiong Guangkai in the White House January 24-26, 2000 to "renew military-to-military contacts".

Clinton covered for Loral CEO Bernard L. Schwartz (top Clinton donor in the 1996 cycle) who sent the PLA a 200-page fax compromising our guided missile secrets--a fax which the Department of Defense said in its May 1997 report "damaged national security".

traitorrapist42 belongs in Leavenworth, not in the position of Secretary-General of the UN or recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Well, after Clinton's reign of treason, I'm not sure there are any secrets left to be discovered. China already has them all...

Deal Gives China Access to Top Secret CIA, FBI Communications

Are you and WorldNutDaily saying with a straight face that the FBI and CIA aren't using crypto for classified traffic?

[Man of the Right]

We're going to have to fight our own weapons against these bastards one day. Probably in the not too distant future.

[GodfearingTexan]

Since we are selling all of these major private corp.s to a govt funded entity in China, why not make some real money and just allow them to buy the white house, or the grand canyon? i see a problem when we sell something so huge to a chinese operation. regardless of the fact that they will now be able, eventually, to get a better understanding of our electronic communications systems, if they own a majority share they can effectively do whatever they want - like move all their jobs back to the prc. or am i wrong?

<< ..... Hutchison and STT may need to submit a revised proposal for the Global Crossing buyout; one which includes "an assurance that they would not compromise U.S. national security" ..... >>

And soddom hisson will "pass legislation" making the manufacture of WMD a felony!

And pigs will fly, the KKKli'toons predatory recidivism will end, ted kennedy and sheets the king of pork will sober up -- and Hell will freeze over.

On a side note, I ran across an interesting case of dots connecting with Hutchison Whampoa.

On the afternoon of the 2000 Presidential election the DNC, through the Martin Agency contracted a telemarketing firm called Telequest in Wichita Falls, TX . (Reference New York Times 11-11-200 David Firestone-Party mobilized…)

The DNC wanted to plant the story in the minds of Palm Beach County voters that the butterfly ballot confused them and they used Telequest to carry this out.

These were not machine calls, they were personal interviews (Reference New York Times-5,000 calls made with 2400 people telling callers they may have made a mistake).

The most significant individuals confused were the DNC operatives tampering with the punch card ballots which resulted in over 13,000 punch card ballots with a Buchanan hole punched (3400 votes plus 10,000 overvotes).

The operatives were confused because in every other Florida county with punch card ballots, Gore was the #2 hole. The machine used for tampering was preset to punch the #2 hole.

Only in Palm Beach, Buchanan was #2, thus the slip up.The mistake was discovered in the afternoon on election day, after tampering had already occurred. To cover the tracks on this slip up, Telequest was used.

Three days after the election, out of the blue, an Indian multinational named Essar Group made their first ever aquistion in the U.S.. The Essar Group bought a tiny telemarketing firm in Wichita Falls called Telequest.

Essar is closely connected to Huthison Whampoa, in fact, Hutchison-Essar Telecom is one of the major Telecom corporations in the Pacific region.

After the aquistion of Telequest, press reports about the unbelievable activities that occurred in the offices at Telequest election night ceased. Later, Telequest was liquidated. Essar changed their mind about entering the U.S. telemarketing market.

To make a long story short, had it not been for the butterfly ballot spoiling the ballot tampering operation, Al Gore would be President today.

Thank God for the butterfly.

Global Crossing? Doesn't that have something to do with Terry (DNC Chairman)?
