BCCI collapsed and Enron took its place
When BCCI's illegal activities on behalf of the Bush family and their CIA frinds around the world became the subject of criminal probes and media investigations in the mid-1980's, the Bushes, as they normally do, cut and run. BCCI collapsed and Enron took its place. After Enron served its purpose as a Bush slush fund, it too, collapsed. The failure of BCCI and Enron had disastrous effects around the world and in the United States. Never mind, the Bushes won out.

1. Innocent people suffered. It's the Bush system.

I want this to be a discussion of BCCI and not any candidate for president. Please

2. Now it's the federal budget
serving as the BFEE upward wealth redistribution scam.

I dare call it treason. When we have a democrat as president and have regained control of congress a full investigation and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law must ensue.

3. In between, Democrats in power did nothing to stop it.
Maybe we should remember that.
