51. BFEE SOP: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Wow! Great article, seemslikeadream!

Business links – involving “the mobilisation of trillions of dollars” – by President Bush’s father and his brother Neil, were under investigation by America’s top spy catcher, Paul Redmond, when he resigned.

Skolnick had reported stuff on this, but his hatred of everybody kept me from putting more "stock" in the story. So, now it seems clear why Poppy and Smirk were so eager to get their wars on. They make money the old fashioned way ... by killing people.

The missing trillions from the Pentagon? In Switzerland.

The missing hundreds of billions from the nation's Savings & Loans? In Switzerland.

The missing billions from ENRON? In Switzerland.

The missing billions from Global Crossing (Hi, Terry McC!)? In Switzerland.

The missing billions from Tyco? In Switzerland.

The missing trillions and trillions to come, thanks to Bush mismanaging the economy and helping enrich his friends... penuring America in the process. Going to the Caymans before moving to Switzerland.

Some conservative! Some monster!

For those new to the subject: Bush is a CROOK! Here's a bit of Smirko's past that's relevant today:

Bush & Bin Laden - George W. Bush Had Ties to Billionaire bin Laden Brood

The unexplained death of Salem, Osama bin Laden's oldest brother, in 1988, brought to an abrupt end a long and intriguing relationship between President Bush and the head of the bin Laden family fortune.
 
By Roger Miller

EXCERPT...

As the hard times continued, Spectrum merged with Harken Energy in 1986. In 1990, Harken received a contract from the government of Bahrain to drill for offshore oil although Harken Energy had never drilled a well overseas or anywhere in water.

"Knowledgeable oil company sources believe that the Bahrain oil concession was indeed an oblique favor to the president of the United States but say that Saudi Arabia (home of bin Laden) was behind the decision," according to The Outlaw Bank: A Wild Ride Into the Secret Heart of the BCCI, by Jonathan Beaty and S.C. Gwynne.

It raised oil-industry eyebrows when the Persian Gulf state announced it had chosen tiny Harken to explore an offshore site for gas and oil. Bahrain officials said they had no idea President Bush's son was associated with Harken, a claim oil-industry sources ridicule. The Bahrain deal was brokered in part by Arkansas investment banker David Edwards, one of Bill Clinton's closest friends. The Bahrain oil project resulted in two dry holes and Harken energy abandoned the project.

Two months before Iraq invaded Kuwait, on June 20, 1990, the younger Bush sold two-thirds of his Harken stock, 212,140 shares at $4 a share-for a total of $848,560. "That was $318,430 more than it was worth," Dr. Arthur F. Ide, author of George W. Bush: Portrait of a Compassionate Conservative, said. "George W. broke the law to do this since the transaction was an insider stock sale."
