Subject: Shrub's Buddy Boys are Crooks From: GUEST Date: 13 Jan 02 - 07:27 AM And that is the essence of the Enron scandal. The largest corporate contributors to the Bush campaign are crooks, pure and simple. White collar criminals writ large. Shrub's buddy boys were also Clinton's buddy boys. What does this tell you? Maybe that the vast majority of Democrats and Republicans are in bed with the corrupt corporados who are calling the shots in Washington? Soft money? I don't think so. Paper money for the employees, cold hard cash for the politicians in the pockets of the corporadoes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Shrub's Buddy Boys are Crooks From: GUEST,AppalachianSprings Date: 13 Jan 02 - 08:14 AM Don't know how many of you folkies are readers of Appalachian Focus, but they have some very interesting articles currently on their website on the energy wars and the Bush administration. Here is one: OK, SO IF WE MAKE COMPANY LINKS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO BINLADIN WOULD THOSE PEOPLE BE CONSIDERED DISLOYAL TO THE UNITED STATES? HOW ABOUT IF THEY ARE OUR PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT AND ASSOCIATES? WHAT THEN? OK, HERE WE GO! If you go to the Binladin company's website & click on Petroleum, Chemicals & Mining: www.saudi-binladin-group.com/pcm.htm. Under Saudi Binladin Group's Joint Venture Partners click on H. C. Price Company. Price Arabia Limited H. C. Price has been a leader in heavy construction since its establishment in 1921. The company built its reputation as a constructor of cross-country pipelines, totaling over 3,600 miles and fiber optic cable networks, totaling nearly 3000 miles. Over the years, Price has proven to be particularly successful in the execution of large projects such as Trans- Alaska Pipeline, the Northern Border Pipeline and the Florida Gas pipeline project, the largest single U.S. pipeline project awarded since 1992. Its international projects include Tehran to Tabritz Oil Products Line & Port Terminal Facility in Iran and the C Field, Block 65 to Tobruk Crude Transport Line in Libya. http://www.saudi-binladin-group.com/sbg52.htm On Enron's site we can see 2 of those pipelines are their projects. http://www.enron.com/corp/investors/annuals/annual99/transportation.html The Gas Pipeline Group Enron's Gas Pipeline Group owns interests in four interstate pipelines, operates 32,000 miles of pipelines in 21 states and transports 15 percent of U.S. natural gas. Returns are strong and stable from the group, which produces consistent earnings and cash flow. In 1999 the group had income before interest and taxes (IBIT) of $380 million, or 19 percent of Enron's overall IBIT. Natural gas pipelines and their storage facilities are a key component of Enron's energy strategy. Florida Gas Transmission Florida Gas Transmission, the sole interstate natural gas pipeline serving peninsular Florida, is the fastest growing system in North America. With a surge in state population and demand for gas-fired electric generation, Florida Gas Transmission is working on two major expansions. Phase IV will consist of pipe and compression to extend its network to southwest Florida and add capacity of nearly 200 MMcf/d. This project is scheduled to be in service by mid-2001. The proposed Phase V expansion, once completed, will add approximately 400 MMcf/d of capacity and has an in-service date of 2002. The proposal was filed in December with FERC. The 4,795-mile pipeline had average daily capacity of 1.5 Bcf in 1999. Northern Border Pipeline Northern Border Pipeline runs from the U.S./Canadian border in Montana to Illinois, transporting approximately 23 percent of all Canadian gas imports to the U.S. The pipeline measures 1,214 miles and averaged daily deliveries of 2.4 Bcf in 1999. The Chicago Project expansion was put in service at the end of 1998. By interconnecting with multiple pipeline systems, this link fundamentally changed North American markets by establishing a new relationship between Canadian and NYMEX gas prices. Northern Border has proposed a second expansion, Project 2000, to connect to Northern Indiana Public Service Company and its industrial customer base in the Midwest. BACK TO H. C. PRICE COMPANY. THE COMPANY IS NOW KNOWN AS BREDARO-SHAW AND IS A HALLIBURTON COMPANY. Bredero Price's origins date back to the HC Price company, which has operated in the United States since the 1930s and was acquired by Dresser Industries Inc. in 1993. In 1996, Dresser and Shaw Industries Ltd. of Canada merged the pipe coating businesses of Bredero Price and Shaw Pipe Protection to form the Bredero-Shaw Group, the world's largest pipe coating company. Dresser was subsequently acquired by the Dallas-based Halliburton Co., giving Halliburton a 50 percent ownership stake in Bredero-Shaw. http://www.al.com/news/mobile/Nov2000/15-a419189a.html Bredero-Shaw comprises a group of pipe coating companies owned jointly by Halliburton Company of Dallas and ShawCor, Ltd. of Toronto. Both Halliburton and ShawCor specialize in products and services for the energy and resource industries. Through the years, the "Bredero-Shaw approach" has been to provide the highest quality pipe coating services to its customers. Today, companies in the Bredero-Shaw Group can be found throughout the United States, Canada and Internationally, serving the pipeline industry with corrosion coatings, weight coatings, insulation coatings and other related products and services. With 27 permanent plants located on 6 continents, Bredero-Shaw has grown to serve most world-wide markets. Today, Bredero-Shaw is the world's largest international applicator of pipeline coatings for the oil and gas industry, both onshore and offshore. http://www.bredero-shaw.com/ SO, BINLADIN'S PARTNER IS A HALLIBURTON COMPANY NOW NAMED BREDARO-SHAW THAT HAS ALSO HAS WORKED WITH ENRON. THIS TAKES US RIGHT INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. HALLIBURTON HAS BEEN CHENEY'S COMPANY UNTIL HE BECAME THE VICE PRESIDENT. ENRON IS WELL REPRESENTED IN THE WHITE HOUSE. SEE: KEY BUSH ENERGY ADVISERS REVEAL LARGE ENRON HOLDINGS! http://www.jeffrense.com/general10/reveal.htm Jun 29, 2001 White House Acknowledges Rove Participated in Energy Meetings WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House acknowledged Friday that top Bush strategist Karl Rove participated in meetings on the administration's energy policy while he owned stock in energy companies such as Texas-based Enron Corp. http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGA2D14LKOC.html THE HEAD OF ENRON, KENNETH LAY, WAS RECENTLY INVESTIGATED BY THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING OFFICE, (GAO), FOR ETHICS & BRIBERY VIOLATIONS. http://intelligencepress.com/subscribers/daily/news/d20010921d.html ENRON IS ALSO FACING CONTEMPT OF COURT CHARGES FOR REFUSING TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS CONCERNING THE CA "ENERGY CRISIS" WHICH WAS ACTUALLY MANUFACTURED BY THE BUSHBOYZ, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY. Judge says Enron has to give up documents By Emily Bazar (Published Sept. 7, 2001) Enron Corp. must turn over sensitive internal documents to state legislators, a Sacramento judge ruled Thursday, but only after the two sides agree to a court-approved confidentiality agreement. http://www.capitolalert.com/news/capalert03_20010907.html The Extortion of California: The Wrath of Bush & The Texas Power Cabal http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Chin021101/chin021101.html THERE IS STILL MUCH SECRECY ABOUT W. BUSH'S ENERGY COMMITTEE MEETINGS; IN FACT HE REFUSES TO RELEASE DOCUMENTS TO GAO. NOT TO MENTION THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES HAS BEEN CLOSED & HE REFUSES TO LET DOCUMENTS ABOUT REAGAN'S STAFF COMMUNICATIONS BE RELEASED AS WELL.

Subject: RE: BS: Shrub's Buddy Boys are Crooks From: Amos Date: 13 Jan 02 - 10:51 AM Not to rain on your indignant righteous research, but I would like to point out that the BinLadens you are tracing all this to are the BinLaden family in Saudi Arabia who kicked out, disowned, and expatriated Osama Bin Laden the world-class terrorist. This is like proving that Mother Jones magazine is in the lap of Wall Street because the hedge fund was invented by a man and a company named A. Winslow Jones. Which it was. But you get my point. If we're going to be seekers after truth here, let's not imagine that identical labels mean identical things! A |
