You want a 'link' between, Burkle, Munitz, and Davis? Here you go.

Barry Munitz, Davis transition team

"As far as I can tell, he hasn't done anything environmental [whether good or bad] since he left Maxxam," Sierra Club spokesman Mike Paparian says. "Davis when he appointed him really emphasized the education issues, having Munitz emphasize education. If he were to move into other positions, I might have a stronger concern."

Let's see Munitz/Burkle @ Getty; Davis/Munitz -Gov's transition team; Davis/Burkle - campaign contributions; and now the CalPERS/Yucaipa. 'Good old boys' in the west?

Should also note that Clinton's Secretary of Education put Munitz on the Education Commission, and now Clinton's getting renumeration from Yucaipa investments--Sheer coincidence? Yeah, right.

Thanks for connecting a whole lot of dots from past history and Freeper Research.

As a black conservative friend has said for years, "If you want to understand why liberals do what they do behind closed doors and sometimes in the open, just find the money trail and follow it!

This is just more proof of the Kali fascism that is Gray Davis and his supporters.

Thanks for the link to the Davis Connection.

This is out of that article:

But compared with Wilson, Davis has centralized decision-making in his administration, so there are fewer points of contact for special interests, critics say. As a result, those with strong ties to the governor and his closest aides -- such as lobbyist and fundraising strategist Darius Anderson -- have even more clout than in administrations where power was less concentrated.

Centralized decision making with fewer points of contact for special interests paves the way to Fascism. Those individuals who donate and keep Davis in power end up with special arrangements with Herr Davis for their companies.

When this was done by Benito and Adolph in the 1930's and 1940's, it was correctly labled as fascism.

The goal of the GOP should be to split the Democrat party union vote. Public sector union members are nearly half of that coalition now. They do not work in the interest of those in private sector unions. Steelworkers are not fond of "divesity", "multiculturalism", the homosexual agenda, high taxes, affirmative action, welfare and other causes pushed by their brethern in the NEA, NTEU, AFSCME, AFT and other government unions.

I tried to bring up what you proposed in the last presidential election. The Goron represented unemployment to the union members in the automobile industry, construction industry and most major industries. Yet, like dazed robots, most supported and voted for Goron and the Rats running for congress in 2000.

The rat party is anti second amendment and hates private gun ownership, and a very large % of the unions you cite and I have mentioned above own guns and are avid hunters. Yet they continue to vote for the rats who try to take away their guns.

Many are good Catholics and detest abortion on a personal level. Yet they vote for rats like Davis, ChiFi and Boxer who are the devils advocates for abortion.

They are so infested with generations of Rat Poisoning of their souls, they vote and support Rats like the Goron and Davis.

They should be on our side for the survival of their jobs, trades and families. If Kyoto had become the law of the land, most would be out of jobs by now.

I hope that our stealth president can win over a sizable % of the union members who work in the private sector. Their survival depends on businesses growing not the non business growth of the governmental union members as you so wisely pointed out.

Your reply is an excellent one re the non government union members and their survival.

Perhaps many in the the Steel workers will respond to Bush's move on protecting the Steel industry. He is taking a great deal of criticism (here also) for dropping his Free Trade campaign promises.

'The DIVORCE of the unions'. I like it. Bump to keep at the top for those who will come back to the news tomorrow.

The democrats of the government unions(fascists) are NOT the democrats of the trade unions(socialists).

The democrats of the government unions are for more government, less independence, and getting paid for the labor's of someone else; while the trade unions always wanted to be governed less, more independence, and getting the benefits of their own labors.

The corporate bosses are quite a bit better than the government bosses--they would pay only what it took, the government bosses take only what you get paid.

D posted, 'The DIVORCE of the unions', I like it.

Maybe we can get Larry Lied to repost it this evening or preferably tomorrow morning as a separate post as a tactic/strategy. Then we can bump it up and around to get more people on board with it.

I think that a large % of the union members in the private sector can be won over. That would help in the congressional elections this Nov and our governor's election in Kali.

Then it could be significant to break the back of the Rat union stranglehold in the 2002 elections.

Bumping as you requested and hoping that Larry will follow up with new thread re his great tactic/strategy with the private union members this Monday.

It occurs to me that Davis is in real trouble and that there is going to be a shortfall in California's budget.

It also occurs to me it would be helpful if Davis can procure some money from another source.

Clinton is currently in New Zealand speaking before a goup from BMW. He has been jetting around the Indonesia/Borneo/New Zealand area in the private jet of the Sultan of Brunei.

I don't know enough about financial stuff, but it seems to me that if there is a sudden influx of money from Brunei into certain funds, one could be a little suspicious.

There is a massive shortfall or deficit in our California budget thanks to Herr Davis and his tax and spend socialist Rat buddies in the Kali Legislature.

Right now the elite of the Rat Party, the NY Slimes and the head Rats in the Senate are working 24/7 to transfer the blame from Davis to Enron and then to GW.

If the Rats lose the governorship in Kali for the damages that Davis has done to the people of Kali, that will spill over even in the upcoming November election.

Recent polls showed that GW would beat Goron if an election was held in Kali last month pitting GW versus Goron.

If GW maintains just the states that he won in 2000 with honest elections in Floriduh and wins Kali's electorial votes, the rats will lose the presidential election in 2004.

The elites who control the Rat Political Party, and who probably own the NY Slimes and other Rat fishwraps know this is coming if Davis loses. So they are in full Clintoonian mode to transfer the blame/guilt from Davis to others.

Our debt in Kali is so large, (over 23 billion, I predict over 30 billion before the election is over), that no company here or overseas can bail the state out of this debt.

Davis is the Poster Boy of what Fascism and Tax and spend socialism when unchecked can do to a state or America.
