ENRON BACKSTORY THREAD II: Clinton-Gore, Ron Brown, Lippo, PLA

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review | Sunday Dec. 9, 2001 | DC-based British journalist and political observer

[Hamiltonian]

The back room gnomes are supposed to throw all applicable important¹ buzz words into every press release. Sometimes too much beltway traffic and coffee affects their judgement, and they forget which buzzwords are applicable.

¹What they think is important to those of us who pick up the tab for all this corrupt B******t.

[Roebucks]

Can't hear ya Dave. Then again, Dave's not home.

Ok bud.

[robbinsj]

Thanks for the ping!

Seems like the Enron fraud investigation may rival the Marc Rich-BCCI racket.

[Judge Me]

Aaaaah. The Bush lies regarding Enrongate are just beginning. Tomorrow, newspapers across the country---from the liberal NY Times to the conservative Dallas Morning News---will feature articles calling Bush on the carpet for the lies he told today regarding Ann Richards and when he first got to know "Kenny Boy". Stay tuned.

I think I was addressing this part of your reply:

....we can spread the truth.

I was joking about you calling me ignorant, but anyway.

Go figure

Republican leaders in Congress are trying to make sense of rumors that Patricia Godley, the Clinton administration's assistant energy secretary, is about to be named chief Washington lobbyist for Enron......

Van Ness Feldman, P.C.

.....Representative Clients
....Enron International
Entergy Power Group

.....Patricia Fry Godley

Pat Godley has 20 years of experience in the private and public energy sectors. Her practice focuses on the natural gas and electric power industries in four inter-related areas:

Business Transactions: advising clients in completing asset acquisitions and divestitures, drafting and negotiating contracts, and assessing the impact of federal laws and regulations on business ventures.

Regulatory Proceedings: counseling clients in matters before regulatory agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Interior.

Government Policy: representing clients before the Administration and Congress in proactive efforts to affect government policy.

International Trade: assessing and implementing client investment opportunities in developing countries, primarily in Latin America and the Former Soviet Union.

Prior to joining Van Ness Feldman, Ms. Godley served as the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy at the Department of Energy, where she managed federal investment in the research and development of fossil fuels technologies, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves. In addition, she developed policy proposals concerning access to federal lands for oil and gas development, electricity sector restructuring, and global climate change and other environmental regulatory matters.

Prior to her service with DOE, Ms. Godley was a partner in the law firm of Bracewell & Patterson, where she developed regulatory and contracting strategies for U.S. and Canadian energy companies, devised and implemented domestic asset acquisition and disposition strategies, and litigated contract disputes. In the international arena, she advised the World Bank on projects to develop natural gas and oil pipeline legislation and regulation for Bolivia, Argentina, and Russia......

Bracewell & Patterson, L.L.P.

.....The legislative practice group at Bracewell includes Gene Godley, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Legislative Affairs.......

Bracewell's major clients include Enron Corporation (the firm's largest client), Shell Oil Company, Lyondell Chemical Company, Southdown, Inc. and British Nuclear Fuels, Inc. (BNFL).....

A link will appear in the next update of DUBOB's....

You totally missed my point re: her article which leads one to believe that the reason for Enron's exit from India was corruption, which is simply an incorrect statement. I said nothing at all about the corruption and cronyism that marked their entry to India, except to say that I trusted that she did her research well. If you're going to argue a point, at least understand what the other person has said.

Check here:

-DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON --

I'd swear she has documents linking clinton, Lippo, & the Riadys going back to the 1970's....

Dubob's?

bump

[Roebucks]

I'm certainly not here to defend Enron or their cronies, but if you're going to site something as a fact you may want to dig a bit deeper...

You said:

There was also corruption between Enron and local police in India. United States: Enron bribed police to suppress Indian protests?: "HRW and other organisations alleged that Enron paid local authorities who arrested and tortured protestors at the company's Dabhol Power plant in Maharashtra state. In response, an Enron official said that all "problems" at Dabhol had been 'put to rest.'"

Let's just see who HRW is before we believe what they say as "fact", ok?

Sitting on the board of directors at HRW are Clinton and longtime socialist supporter George Soros, longtime do gooder and ex-wife of Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger and many more hollyweird and leftists types.

Oh yeah, I'd site that source as fact. /sarcasm...

[Roebucks]

Sitting on the board of directors at HRW are Clinton and longtime socialist supporter George Soros

Should read as:

...are longtime Clinton supporter and socialist George Soros....

Sorry- didn't mean to code talk, it's an acronym for Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast....
