Maurice Strong is a world class malafactor.. to be sure..
And the whole cabal of cockroaches with him.. including Martin.. Canada may have an insignificant government but the players in the woodwork of the government are dangerous.. maybe thats WHY Canadas government IS insignficant.. i.e. no threat..a good camoflage..
Good Work highlighting these malificent players..

Was there anyone in the world besides George Bush who didn't have his/her hand in the Oil-for-Food honeypot?
