Press Ignores Enron Links to Clinton

Perhaps one reason why the mainstream press has not paid much attention to this critical 1995 letter written by Ron Brown is the fact that Brown also lobbied hard on behalf of a major contract for Time-Warner with the corrupt Suharto regime.

<snip>

Documented Crime but No Investigation

Documents obtained from the Clinton administration are filled with direct quotes and hard numbers detailing taxpayer monies that were paid as illegal bribes to a corrupt regime. The citizens of Indonesia and the United States were the victims of a massive crime. That crime has received no press attention and no investigation.

It may shock and surprise you that the demise of Enron started long before George W. Bush was elected. Enron's fall was due to "corruption" that started during the Clinton administration.

Good morning...God Bless ya...I was talking about you yesterday...was wondering where you were...GREAT to see you back on the threads!!!

[GOPJ]

Ahhhhhh, the tip of the iceberg:

Curiously, many secrets still surround the Enron power plants. The U.S. State Department maintains that some information on the Indonesian power deals must remain classified.

[kattracks]

BTTT

[antivenom]

Those "waskelly ...insert Lieberman's voice ahhh errr I mean Elmer Fudd's...Indowesian muswims" seems that Bill was willing to sell us out to anyone for anything at anytime.

[flamefront]

"Culpable negligence" [from Hitchens] is the appropriate term describing the media nad others who have gone so far beyond merely oversight.

Global Crossing now is also bankrupt. I think we have no one in the media that can even write the story on this whole picture as it involces deep interrelationships between business, government, international trade, and Clinton corruption. The true Clinton legacy we all will be repairing from over the next decade.

Global Crossing and Enron both were at once highly regulated, global, involved in broadband delivery, had Arthur Andersen contacts, and had questionable customer creditworthiness.

PRESS IGNORES DOCUMENTED LINKS BETWEEN ENRON FALL AND CLINTON CORRUPTION

WHY?

[TBall]

"Ken Lay, stayed at the (clinton) White House 11 times." Now that is just too funny. Have not heard much about that on the news.

[JohnGalt]

I am sure you caught on to press reports that Enron's main interest in government influence was 'energy regulation.' After I read about this trip to Indonesia, I recall Coalgate, where Clinton declared a national park in Utah that effectively prevented the mining of 'clean coal' in the United States.

PRESS IGNORES DOCUMENTED LINKS BETWEEN ENRON FALL AND CLINTON CORRUPTION........... WHY?

WHY????????????????????????
Why, indeed!

IT STINKS!

We need to start an email campaign.

It is my view that clinton devastation is largely irreversible...and perpetual...

(That is not to say that purging the system of anything clinton should not be our number one objective. )

I think that history will view this much differently. They will say I made a bad personal mistake, I paid a serious price for it, but that I was right to stand and fight for my country and my constitution and its principles...

just so he can write

History Lesson

by Mia T

 

Someone--was it Maupassant?--

once called history "that excitable and lying old lady."

The same can be said of historians.

 

Surely it can be said of Doris Kearns Goodwin,

the archetypical pharisaical historian,

not-so-latently clintonoid,

Lieberman-Paradigmatic

(i.e., clinton is an unfit president;

therefore clinton must remain president),

intellectually dishonest,

(habitually doing what the Arthur Schlesingers of this world do:

making history into the proof of their theories).

 

The Forbids 400's argument is shamelessly spurious.

They get all unhinged over the impeachment of clinton,

claiming that it will

"leave the presidency permanently disfigured and diminished,

at the mercy as never before of the caprices of any Congress."

 

Yet they dismiss the real and present--and future!!--danger

to the presidency and the country

of not impeaching and removing

this admittedly unfit, (Goodwin)

"documentably dysfunctional," (NYT)

presidency-diminishing, (Goodwin)

power-abusing,

psychopathic thug.

 

Doris Kearns Goodwin and those 400 other

hog-and-bow-tied-save-clinton,

retrograde-obsessing historiographers

are a supercilious, power-hungry,

egomaniacal lot in their own right.

 

For them, clinton validates

what Ogden Nash merely hypothesized:

Any buffoon can make history,

but only a great man can write it.

 

 

[Lion's Cub]

The U.S. State Department maintains that some information on the Indonesian power deals must remain classified

Perhaps because they contain the name Riady?

Thanks for the detailed article!

The Art of the Deal:

by Mia T

President Clinton, whose gaucheness borders on the grotesque, proposes a

Marshall Plan for the Balkans. Is he unaware of, or just unimpressed by,

the fact that the Marshall Plan was proposed in 1947, not 1942?

------George Will

Only pretending there's a plan in Kosovo

 

In a quainter, less enlightened time, miners used to take caged canaries down to coal mines with them to alert the miners to "bad air"...  

 

Is Will's complex irony one-too-many times removed, or is Will simply unaware of, or just unimpressed by, the plain fact that clinton's conjecturally incongruous, pre-postpositive plan is a necessary part of the art of the deal?

 

My guess is that the rebuilding contract preceded the demolition ball, that the FOBs' contracts preceded the SOB's bombs. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if the FOBs -- and not the SOB -- are the ones actually picking the NATO targets...which are their future projects, after all.

 

I am reminded here of Zaire,

where the ink was dry on the contract

even as the blood continued to flow in the streets.

It was the largest mineral rights contract in history,

worth billions.

 

The signatories were

a fledgling company from Hope, Arkansas,

American Mineral Fields (AMF)

and the Kabila rebels.

 

AMF is headed up by

Hope native Mike McMurrough

and Jean Raymond Boulle

the ex-chief diamond buyer for DeBeers.

 

McMurrough, a land surveyor,

first met Boulle when they were both

exploring for diamonds in Arkansas.

 

Both were later principals of

Diamond Fields Resources.

 

Boulle and McMurrough in1988 formed

the Arkansas Diamond Development Co.

to develop diamond operations on state-owned lands.

 

In 1972, the diamond-rich area of southwest Arkansas

was purchased by the state and was designated

Crater of Diamonds State Park

to prevent private mining.

 

In 1986, then-Gov. Clinton began a

feasibility study

to allow commercial operations

in the state park.

 

In 1989, Clinton,

despite strong opposition from environmentalists,

gave Boulle's mining company the okay to begin exploration.

 

(Sorta like the quid pro coal Utah land grab in reverse.)

 

While the American press

has totally ignored the AMF-Arkansas connection,

the foreign press hasn't.

 

The Italian paper Corriere della Sera

described AMF's link

with Clinton's home state of Arkansas,

with Clinton's home town of Hope,

as a "wicked coincidence."

 

And it is a coincidence that encompasses Stephens Inc.

the powerful Little Rock-based investment house

that has consistently backed Clinton

in his campaigns for governor and his 1992 presidential run.

 

The Wall Street Journal reported on possible U.S.

assistance to the rebels

using neighboring Burundi as a conduit for arms

ultimately destined for Uvira,

just across Burundi's border in Zaire,

the cradle of Kabila's revolt.

 

So the quid is covert U.S. assistance for the Kabila rebels;

the quo is the richest mineral rights contract for FOB's.

 

But there is more.

 

Clinton repeatedly refused to freeze

the Mobutu multi-billion dollar booty,

plundered over three decades

from the impoverished Zairean people.

 

Was Clinton's inaction part of the self-enriching deal?

The ONLY reason that makes sense for the democrats to be squealing like the pigs that they are with regard to Enron,
is PRE-EMPTION. I smell Lanny Davis, limp warnings to his fellow democrats to not "politicize" this scandal notwithstanding.

"Noes" of LANNY bump!

by Mia T

Act IV, Scene I:

The White House. In the middle a boiling Cauldron.

 

Thunder. Enter the three (unvetted) Witches.

 

FIRST WITCH. Thrice the brinded fat cat hath mew'd.

 

SECOND WITCH. Thrice and once the hobbled hedge-pig whined.

 

THIRD WITCH. Hubbelled Harpier cries: 'T is time, 't is time.

 

FIRST WITCH (a Democrat with conspiratorial leanings):

Round about the cauldron go;

In the poison'd records throw.

Foster, that under cold stone

Days and nights has thirty-one

Swelter'd venom sleeping got,

Boil thou first i' the charmed pot.

 

ALL

Double, trouble TOIL for HUBBELL;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

 

SECOND WITCH (a Liberal Democrat):

Fillet of BURTON snake,

In the cauldron boil and bake;

Eye of NEWT, and toe of LOTT,

LIMBAUGH'S tongue, a forget-me-not;

THURMOND'S fork, and THOMPSON'S sting,

HELM'S leg, and QUAYLE wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

 

ALL

Double, trouble TOIL for HUBBELL;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

 

THIRD WITCH (a stealth Conservative)

Scale of BONIOR, tooth of WOLF,

HILLARY'S memory, maw and gulf

A ravin'd salt-sea shark,

Ears of the MARTINS digg'd i' the dark,

Gall of BILL, and McCURRY'S slips

"Noes" of LANNY, and HUBBELL'S lips,

Finger of ICKES ditch-deliver'd by a drab,

Make the gruel thick and slab:

Add thereto a Chinese squadron,

For the ingredients of our cauldron.

 

ALL

Double, trouble TOIL for HUBBELL;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

 

SECOND WITCH:

Cool it with cash and blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

 

Enter Lady MacClinton:

LADY MacCLINTON:

O! well done! I commend your pains,

And every one shall share i' the gains.

And now about the cauldron sing,

Like elves and fairies in a ring,

Enchanting all that you put in.
