THE ENRON-ESCALANTE SCANDAL... CLINTON & GORE'S MODERN DAY TEAPOT DOME Almost any scam requires the action of joint and several participants, usually in high places, to hoodwink and swindle the little guys of our poor and huddled masses. It doesn’t help when the term conspiracy is recklessly bandied about, as when Hillary accused every one other than her husband’s supporters as being "a vast right wing conspiracy." But it doesn’t help either when other respected individuals offer they don’t believe in conspiracy theories. Many such disclaimers of conspiratorial cabals were offered during the corrupt Clinton regime, and now, evidence of a conspiracy of astonishing magnitude, is beginning to surface.
As a conservation issue with ties to modern liberal environmentalism, properties rich in oil reserves were acquired early in the 1900s by the Federal Government, more specifically, the American people, for the purpose of providing oil reserves for the U.S. Navy’s warfighting fleets. The properties were located in California and Wyoming. The oil field in Caspar, Wyoming, had a rock formation on it resembling a teapot, and all the oil reserve properties were nicknamed "domes;" hence, the name "Teapot Dome." One such oil rich reserve included in the Teapot Dome acquisition was located at Elk Hills, California.
In spite of the irony of the government acquiring land for future use in drilling for oil for the purposes of conducting warfare, the conservationist thinking at the time was to preserve these oil rich reserves for a national emergency. But back then, as now, there were differences of opinion as to what to do with government-owned land. Politicians in high places used bureaucratic manipulation in much the same way the Clinton administration maneuvered to provide technology transfers to the Communist Chinese via the Commerce Department. The oil rich reserves were leased to private sector oil companies that made a fortune on the oil pumped out of the American people’s reserves and a scandal erupted when a Senate committee exposed the corruption.
This happened during the 1920s administration of Republican Warren G. Harding, and a cabinet member was sent to prison for his involvement. The affair was termed the "Teapot Dome Scandal." The Harding regime was always considered the most corrupt, even more so than the Grant administration, but that was before Clinton-Gore!
In 1996, Clinton decreed by executive order, that 1.7 billion acres identified as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah, was being annexed by the federal government. No prior arrangement had been made by Clinton with anyone, as far as we know - no one in Congress, no one in the state of Utah, not even the governor was aware of Clinton’s scheme. Eventually, through the underhanded and political slight of hand maneuver of unanimous consent, a bill was transformed into law legitimizing Clinton’s land grab.
The Escalante property in Utah holds the largest deposit of clean-burning low sulfur producing coal in the entire world. The second only known large deposit, is on Kalamantan Island in Indonesia, and is owned by the Communist Chinese military in partnership with Mochtar and James Riady’s Lippo Group, the latter a known communist front. The Riadys have been long-time supporters of Clinton’s political campaigns who date back to his days as Governor of Arkansas.
Assessments at the time of this Clinton land grab opined that this was merely a payback to the Riadys for all the financial support they gave to Clinton, but when considering the arrangements between Kenneth Lay of Enron, and Clinton and Gore, an additional dimension is beginning to come into focus. Clinton and Gore’s eager support of Enron efforts to replace all coal-fired electrical generating plants across America with Enron generated gas, would not only cut down on coal pollution of the atmosphere, but reduce heat generation thereby reducing global warming! This seems to explain the vociferous push by Clinton-Gore to advance the harmful and planet threatening effects of global warming.
The Kyoto "treaty" never happened - not one Senator signed up for it, realizing it would virtually destroy every other energy producing and using industry in America. At the time, 22 states across America were on the EPA's list of outdated coal-fired electric plants. A current initiative from the EPA is resurrecting concerns over coal use for electrical energy.
It is clear the Clinton administration had an overall plan, not just to reward Lippo, but Enron as well. The squeeze on coal was the objective.
And the oil reserves at Elk Hills of Teapot Dome fame? They were sold to Gore’s Occidental Petroleum in 1997 as part of his reinvention of government!

From a thread last year, apparently Klintoon's Hollywood crowd, especially Robert Redford, was aware of this happening and had a gala celebration. The governor of Utah was not aware. This seems to be yet another indication of Hollywood's strong ties to a communist world order, i.e., Klintoon, Lippo, etcetera.
The Teapot Dome Scandal (as a political scheme as originally named!) WAS re-created by the Clinton-Gore White House.
The OIL from the US war reserves at Teapot Dome itself WAS extracted BY the Clinton White House and sent in LARGE quantities to upstate New York voters as a deliberate vote-buying scheme for Hillary's Senate campaign!
Further, the OIL itself was sold to a New York "oil business" fronted in an apartment house that was run by Hilllary's contributors. The profits from this reselling went directly to these "contributors."
Also benefitting (as I recall) were MA and PA residents, also democratic voters.
Did Jeffords' voters get US oil as well?
Second, the argument is inconsistent. If Bubba wanted to help his Indonesian/Chicom friends by reducing competing supplies of coal, why would he then turn around and reduce the market for its use by converting all coal plants to natural gas? The obvious answer is that these were disconnected moves and Jughead was simply taking dollars for favors from anyone, not part of a single grand plan. Corrupt, should be outed, but portraying it as a large grand conspiracy when that can easily be refuted allows the RATS to portray as illegitimate investigations into the real crimes.
Clinton went to a fundraiser practically every other day when he was in office and not a peep from the media about this "access for money". Cheney holds one funraiser for $100,000 donors and it's "access for money" accusations all over the RAT media outlets.
Yep! When Al Gore released the oil reserves, depleting what was suppose to be saved for national defence. As if any of them cared about that! I.E., 9/11!
The odd part? These guys had no experiance in the oil business, nor no way to refine it! It still had to be hired out, costing the tax payers twice as much! These two guys lived in a New York apartment , and one guy still lived WITH HIS MOTHER, but sometimes stayed "at the apartment." Neither was employed at the time!
Chi-coms can't vote. Environmentalists can.
The two deals (Clinton helping Riady, and Clinton helping ENRON) might not be a combined master plan, coordinated together .... but each plan, while "standing alone" as a means of screwing the U.S. citizens for campaign contributions .... can actually "dovetail" nicely together, where one doesn't really hurt the other.

It would be a beautiful irony if, while probing Ken Lay, Democratic committee staffers come up with something damning about the Escalante deal. Or better yet, suppose Lieberman gets Lay in his sights, and just as he's about to blow his head off, good ol' Ken says something like, "Well, Senator, if you feel compelled to ask me about so-and-so, which you say is a crime, I'll just have to tell the committee in public hearings about all of my less than laudable activities, including the deal I made with Bill Clinton and your running mate in the 2000 Presidential race, Al Gore, to get that coal mine shut down in Utah."
Ah...how sweet that would be.

Raises the price of natural gas for California gas fired electric plants too!!
I wonder if Davis knew this and was raising hell because he wasn't included in the payoff?

The price spike collapsed when panic buying stopped, the gas pipeline from Texas/New Mexico to California was fixed, and when exploration in Canadian gas fields went exponential!
I think that the impact of Utah Coal on natural gas prices is very, very, very, small.
All three of these guys knew about the same as I know about oil. It comes from the ground and we need it for our cars!
Of course the stories of these 3 Je$$e's in oil were spiked by the major fish wraps and the tv nets. I wasn't a Freeper at that time, so I have no idea about the Freeper coverage of these oily friends of Je$$e!
IF GW tried to do the same for one of his friends, we would never hear the end of it! Clintoon, Goron, and Je$$e get by with this incredible fleecing until a few brave people forced a stop to this government okayed theft!
The SEC is reviewing a 1993 staff ruling to absolve the Enron units from registering under the Public Utility Holding Company Act, a 1935 law that gives the agency extensive supervision of corporate structure and business operations of registered utility holding companies, according to people with knowledge of the matter. If the decision is found to have been erroneous, it could change the way other utility holding companies are regulated.Two Enron entities received waivers from the public utility holding company rules. In one case, Enron's Portland General Electric Co. unit in Oregon clearly qualified for an exemption that applies to holding companies that own and operate a utility in a single state. But in late 1993, Enron Power Marketing Inc., Enron's wholesale power-selling unit, successfully argued that it too shouldn't be regulated by the SEC.
Anyone know who clinton appointed to head the SEC back then?
democrat supporters were very happy with the escalante presidential decision.
i was thru' there several years ago; it is a very beautiful site, in fact, breath-taking.
