Ponder this: It was the kind of federal legislation that slips under the radar. The name alone made the eyes glaze over: "The Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002." In a welter of technical jargon, it dealt with boundary shifts, land trades and other arcane matters — all in Nevada.
As he introduced it, Nevada's senior senator, Democrat Harry Reid, assured colleagues that his bill was a bipartisan measure to protect the environment and help the economy in America's fastest-growing state......... What Sen Reid did not explain was that the bill promised a cavalcade of benefits to real estate developers, corporations and local institutions that were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying fees to his sons' and son-in-law's firms, federal lobbyist reports show.
The IRS is looking into phony trusts like these. They need to nail Reid's collusion with businesses---particularly officers of publicly-held companies---in the scheme that might include corporations' misusing corporate reserve accounts, concealing losses, inflating asset values and improperly accounting for transactions, as well as deferring profits into reserve accounts, improperly shifting capital funding to other projects to hide illegal payments to Reid, and might have employed money laundering schemes to siphon money into Reid's campaign accounts, in order to evade the IRS, SEC, FEC and US banking laws. The "trust" itself should be looked at for excessive "legal fees" and "admin fees" which are classic money laundering schemes.
Anyone with concerns should contact the SEC here: EMAIL enforcement @SEC.gov.
As one FReepers posted: Reid's comments about "going upstairs" to look at the FBI files on a Judge---to see why they had been filibustered---are chilling. Reid is a crook with a "God" complex. He and his ilk are not to be trusted. As a Dumbocrat, depend on Reid to use the well-rehearsed "victim" routine.
Victimization is a Dim's basic belief by which they blame and find others responsible for their own personal failures, then expect taxpayers, deep-pocketed individuals, the government, or the courts to bail them out.
For a Dim, it feels good to be in the throes of "victimization" and either A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) playing victim, D) commiserating over victims, E) subsidizing victims, and, F)creating another class of victims to bleed over.
