4. Death Squads, how about Executive Outcomes
Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 04:11 PM by seemslikeadream
The ability of Executive Outcomes to thrive as privatized warlords, it is believed is in part due to the privatization of US intelligence services by George Bu$h, who as VP beginning in 1981 carried out executive order 12333, which placed all US intelligence operations under Bu$h's personal control.
The links between Executive Outcome and Ranger Oil point operational ties with the Bronfman family of Canada, where scion, Edgar Bronfman of Toronto Corp., sits on the board of directors of Ranger. Recently, the Bronfman family merged its mammoth real estate firm Trizer, with Barrick Gold, where senior advisory board includes Sir George Bu$h. Barrick Gold is deeply involved in northeastern Zaire (Congo) where it has purchased 83,000 square kilometers of land. Zairean sources report that so-called Zairean rebel Kabila is no more than a mercenary for Barrick and Anglo American Corp. sponsored by the British Crown-backed Ugandan and Rwandan militaries.

Octafish have you had a chance to read "Barrick Decision Stuns Bullion Markets" thread in LBN. I think georgie's visit to the queen
had more to do with gold and the upcoming BNL trial than anything else.
