Here's some ammo for marek donchathink? How do you think this will grab the ever loving Barrick apologist I'm sure is still inhabiting these threads somewhere. Since I have his pablum blocked, I'm spared his particular brand of inanities, so don't quote him, okey?<grin> rense.com <font color=slateblue>...guess who was greatly rewarded by Barrick Goldstrike, the fabulous creature assembled with a little help from friends in federal bureaucracies, which essentially gave away the mineral rights to his cronies. "In his last days as President, Bush Sr. sold U.S. government asset worth $10 billion to a friend for a mere $10 thousand dollars, pardoned his business colleagues, and then went on the company's payroll for seven years. "At the very end of his Presidency Papa Bush gave a sweetheart deal to the Canadian company Barrick Goldstrike. They got the rights to US land worth $10 billion in return for a nominal payment to the treasury of $10,000. But that does not seem to be all they got, or all they paid for either. "The money behind Barrick is from Saudi arms dealer and Bush family friend Adnan Khashoggi, who was identified as conduit in the Iran-Contra conspiracy. In 1986 he was arrested and charged with fraud but failed to be convicted. In one of his last acts as president Bush pardoned Khashoggi's alleged co-conspirators, who were key members of Bush's own cabinet. As a result, no case could be made against Khashoggi or against Bush himself. "To express its gratitude for these favors, Barrick Goldstrike hired Papa right after he left office and donated $148,000 to the Republican Party, at least that is the amount that can be traced."</font> ``````````````````````````````` commentary: Should be good for a few laughs... BTW...speaking of a laugher...have you got a copy of Bob's 2003 PoG contest participants as of what, Jan 31, 2003. Since it appears "gladly sharing bob" isn't going to post/laud the winner---since it wasn't him--we might as well do it for him. Any ideas where that prior post is? Enjoying the $423.72ish bubblegum zone priorly mentioned by moi? Europeans were always a slow bunch to catch on to a revolt, vis a vis colonials who fled and founded 'merica. (Doncha just luv it when Bushie jr leave's the "A" out of 'merica? Must be a Texas thing... later.... <FONT COLOR=RED>edit: P.S. Let me know if you think I should send an eMail to "rense" website and let 'em know an enigma enema is "incoming"...
