The Most Influential People in Trade - World Trade Mag. 12/2000

Gary Winnick in the same list as Greenspan, Clinton, and Barshefsky.(and WWF's Vince McMahon)

[d14truth]

You might recognize the name Charlene Barshefsky from the Ex-Im Bank list. Her 'bio' is right between those of Jackie Clegg(Mrs. Dodd) and William Daley. Looks like Charlene and Jackie's terms expired at the same time in 2001.

"CHARLENE BARSHEFSKY, U.S. Trade Representative, Ex Officio Board Member of Ex-Im Bank (March 1997-present)

Ms. Barshefsky became a member of the board upon her appointment as the U.S. Trade Representative in March 1997. You will remember her from the Presidential Treason 103. Ms. Barshefsky was/is a partner in another one of 'those' law firms, Steptoe & Johnson, a Department of Justice-registered foreign agent with offices in Moscow. Another clear conflict of interest - but, oh well...

Her proudest accomplishment should be noted: "With respect to market access and intellectual property rights with China, Ambassador [title comes with the job] Barshefsky was instrumental in achieving a comprehensive IPR enforcement agreement with China, and has been responsible for achieving the gradual, and steady opening of the Chinese market for priority U.S. exports. In addition, she has opened bilateral negotiations with China on services, including insurance and value-added telecommunications." (The comprehensive IPR enforcement agreement is about as useful as all the nonproliferation and test ban treaties the Communist dictatorship has signed and ignored. Wonder if Ms. Barshefsky has her computer loaded with pirated Microsoft products readily available today in Communist China for 1% of fair value?)"

Suppose now there is a need to know about MR Barshefsky, should there be one.

Thanks for posting this incredible tidbit:

When this was first reported a couple of weeks ago the news articles also reported that Sen. Jeff Bingaman's (D-NM) wife Anne Bingaman was paid a large amount of money to lobby for the company. Anne Bingaman was the no.2 person at the DOJ handling anti-trust issues during the Clinton admionistration.

IMHO, that is where some scandal will be uncovered. Former Clinton official and wife of Dem Senator turning around and using her connections to help GC on anti-trust issues."

This whole thing gets messier each day. Thanks for this trip back in history. Data like this is never covered by the left wing maggot infested media.

I should have guessed Ms Barshefky was married to a 'Clinton Insider' with a different last name, former deputy solicitor with the Interior Department, Edward Cohen--

WALL STREET JOURNAL - September 6, 2000

"Trade Chief Recuses Herself on Issues of Japanese Autos to Avoid Conflict…(Helene Cooper) U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky's husband has left his job with the Clinton administration to become Honda Motor Co.'s chief representative in Washington, forcing Barshefsky to relinquish oversight of Japan auto-trade issues. Edward Cohen, formerly deputy solicitor with the Interior Department, began work yesterday as the Japanese automaker's vice president of government relations and industry. His move comes as the U.S. and Japan resume contentious negotiations on access to Japan's car and car parts market. Barshefsky said there is no conflict of interest since she has recused herself from the Japanese auto negotiations. "In order to ensure no actual or perceived conflict of interest, my husband has recused himself from all trade matters" at Honda while she is in office, Barshefsky said. "And I have recused myself from all Japanese auto matters." AUTO.COM"

Notice that even in the Wall Street Journal, you have to be reading quite closely to get the husband/wife connection due to descriptors and name separation in the sentences.

Your comment, "Notice that even in the Wall Street Journal, you have to be reading quite closely to get the husband/wife connection due to descriptors and name separation in the sentences."

This is what is so upsetting as you, Liz and others dig through these messes and discover that many key decision makers are married to a demonicRat senator. The data is there, but if you don't know the maiden names or in some cases the husband's name of the female senator, you don't realize the potential problem of conflicts of interest.

Letter to Edward B. Cohen - January 2000

aka Charlene Barshefsky's husband???

Wonder if content of this, among other things, led to his leaving the Interior Dept. later the same year.

Quite a letter showing awareness of US working conditions and 'centrist union' manipulation of workers in the US.--

Brief excerpt of letter written by Richard A. Pierce, Executive Director of SGMA--

"It is simply to observe that the federal effort seems to be driven by domestic politics and certain labor union constituents of the administration, rather than concern for the welfare of our workers."

[Grampa Dave]

Is Mr Pierce still alive today after making this comment about demonicRat Union thug leaders and the Clintoon administration:

[Liz]

Quite a letter......

I'll say....no PC garbage here......

"Trade Chief Recuses Herself on Issues of Japanese Autos to Avoid Conflict......

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Funniest thing I've read today.
I'm so impressed (barf). What integrity. What decency. What
sincere concern for the taxpayers. What high morals.

What a lot of BS..........

[d14truth]

I'm guessing from this that he is alive and well(and spending a lot of time in court) Apparently being UN-PC can get you a subpoena and considerable grief.

GARMENT LAWSUIT MOVED TO SAIPAN; HAWAI‘I COURT'S DECISION LIKELY TO SPEED UP LITIGATION

[d14truth]

Richard A. Pierce--

"Prison labor in U.S. garment industry exposed by L.A. Times"

"Saipan Garment Manufacturers Association Executive Director Richard A. Pierce said, "You have to wonder how Congressman [George] Miller can bear this exploitation of fellow human beings right in his own backyard as well as watching jobs being taken away from union members. It’s certainly time for the US Department of Labor and the human rights groups to take a close look at this situation.""

I think I like this guy.

[Grampa Dave]

I do like this man.

I love it when someone uses a ball bat on the hard commie head of Miller. What a phoney! He pretends to be a caring loving fellow commie/socialist while he is in for the money big time!

Weekend 'bump' for the PARTY of Clinton and the 'Global (Double) Crossing' group.

[Liz]

Got it!!!!

[d14truth]

One of the older Global Crossing threads with many 'links'

[d14truth]

This thread starts discussing Senator and Mrs. Dodd's 'conflicts of interest'(actually, NO conflict in their interests) in reply #52.

[d14truth]

More Global (Double) Crossing

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks for the ping!

[edwin hubble]

If you look into Cisco you will find that it actually makes things that are sold and shipped and bring a profit.

Unlike these two (Enron and Global Crossing) it doesn't have debt, but it has a huge amount cash.

[d14truth]

I thought your statement would look good in cross-reference to the Clinton 'Fete' guest list--

"TIME's investigative correspondent Michael Weisskopf also reports "there is no forgetting the coziness of Global Crossing's co-chairman, Lodwrick Cook, and the Bush family.""

Looks like 'Cook was Clinton cozy' as well, see reply #54.

Hope you all don't mind the repeated 'pings'. Sometimes the 'new' information needs to be reassimilated with the 'old'.
