Jeb, Marvin & Neil - 3 Profiteering Bush Brothers

[kuozzman]

http://www.infowars.net/Pages/Jan05/300105_Bush_bros.html

Its time to take a closer look at First Brothers, Jeb, Neil, and Marvin Bush, and see how much they stand to benefit from W's presidency and his perpetual war on the world.
First, there's brother Marvin. He's the quietest member of the Bush clan. Marvin is co-founder and partner in Winston Partners, a private investment firm. In turn, Winston Partners is part of a larger firm called the Chatterjee Group.

Here's where it gets complicated. Marvin is obviously the family member with a sound criminal mind. He has managed to bury almost all the evidence of his profiteering profits inside a host of corporations and entities, with many being located offshore. Its not easy to track the money through such a tangled web. But it can be done.

SEC filings show that the Chatterjee Group consists of Winston Partners, LP; Chatterjee Fund Management, LP; Winston Partners II LDC, a Cayman Islands-based company; Winston Partners II LLC; Chatterjee Advisors LLC; Chatterjee Management Company; Mr. Chatterjee himself; and Furxedown Trading Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Isle of Man. The address for Winston Partners II LDC is in the Netherlands Antilles. The other subsidiaries were organized in Delaware

Marvin is not the only family member plugged into the group. Brother Jeb is also an investor in the Winston Capital Fund, which happens to be managed by Marvin's firm.

Profits From Iraq

Following the tangled web of Winston this and Winston that, is difficult in itself, but tracing the links to Iraq is even more difficult. A good place to start is with a company known as Nour USA. According to the Sept 30, 2003, issue of Mother Jones, an $80 million Iraq contract was awarded to Nour, a company with ties to Winston Partners.

1. Marvin? I didn't know there was a Marvin too. n/t

2. Steel yourself:

Marvin's company handled the security at the World Trade Center.

Bush-Linked Company Handled Security for the WTC, Dulles and United
by Margie Burns


George W. Bush's brother was on the board of directors of a company providing electronic security for the World Trade Center, Dulles International Airport and United Airlines, according to public records. The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for years to the Bush family.

The security company, formerly named Securacom and now named Stratesec, is in Sterling, Va.. Its CEO, Barry McDaniel, said the company had a ``completion contract" to handle some of the security at the World Trade Center ``up to the day the buildings fell down."

3. Talk about an Axis of Evil....!!!

These three slime balls are raking it in from any number of sources.

Marvin...
Marvin?
He's one guy who knows how to stay out of the limelight.
When was the last time you heard his name mentioned on MSM?

How about NEVER.

WTF?

Wasn't the media all over Roger Clinton and Billy "Beer" Carter?

Not a word about old Marvin and Neil.

Unless you count the time women just showed up at his hotel door, there for the purpose of having sex with him for "free".

Happens to me all the time.

Jeb gives me the creeps.
He's smarter then W, and I think that is what scares me.

When you think of it, W is the dumbest of the lot.
The least likely to succeed.

Perfect choice to run the country and be the most powerful man in the world.

Don't you think?

I don't know who, or when, someone typed the letters BFEE.

Good God help us all, they were so right.

4. Neil is still trying to live down the S&L scandal

From which he escaped unscathed.

Neil is in to text books these days.

[EC]

7. And of course Neil's Savings and Loan scandal sure got

buried as soon as it was tied to him...I think we're still paying for that...

[havocmom]

5. Neil is making $$ in schools and China too. Think NCLB might help him?

tidbit about Neil's Ignite educational software, this about a program to teach history to 8th grade students:

<snip> Ignite! is working well, Bush wrote in an e-mail: "Teachers and students have given anecdotal feedback that confirms the powerful impact our program is having on student achievement, student focus and attitudes, and teacher success in reaching all of their students."

<snip> But at Whitney reviews were less laudatory. "The kids felt pretty strongly that what this was about was lowering the bar," says Humes.

<snip> Humes wasn't impressed, either. "There was a lot of rhyming and games," he says. "It reminded me of what my son uses -- but he's in kindergarten."</snip>

Remember, DUers, this is a program for 8th graders!

Read oodles more about Neil here:

<another little snip> In 2002, for instance, Bush signed a consulting contract with Grace Semiconductor -- a Shanghai-based company managed in part by the son of former Chinese president Jiang Zemin. Bush's contractual duties consist solely of attending board meetings and discussing "business strategies." For this, he is to be paid $2 million in company stock over five years, plus $10,000 for every board meeting he attends.

6. If these clowns names were...

Neil, Marvin and Jeb CLINTON, or KERRY or CARTER or CONYERS, or EDWARDS, or (insert Democrats name here) they would be RIPPING the flesh off of their bones EVERY night on FOX and CNN other MSM outlets.

Liberal media indeed.

[EC]

9. Well then it's up to the Dem's we have to mention their names

on any and all TV appearances they do on Hardball or Wolfies etc. anytime it can be worked in. Whenever Lou Dobbs or Aaron Brown are discussing corporate fraud or outsourcing, they should be bringing up these names and corps, just to get it into the publics subconsciouses minds...I'm sure Joe Biden or Al Sharpton or any of the Democrat regulars that appear on these shows could work it in somewhere, they've got to start pointing fingers and screaming fraud, theft, cronyism, etc,

8. a 'Profits From Iraq' kick

"According to the Sept 30, 2003, issue of Mother Jones, an $80 million Iraq contract was awarded to Nour, a company with ties to Winston Partners."

"Nour set up shop in May 2003, right in time to cash in on the war in Iraq. When it opened for business, the firm's website described the company as an 'international investment and development company" with more than 100 employees based in Iraq, and listed expertise in telecommunications, agribusiness, internet development, recruitment, construction materials, oil and power services, pharmaceuticals and fashion apparel'."



wonder if Nour USA is akin to Nour Communications Saudi Arabia? seems to be a common denominator in the Munir Sukhtian Group of Companies ... Ghiath Sukhtian and Mughith Sukhtain are listed as Nour USA 'management' on a Wayback Machine link (*link further down below)

"The Sukhtian Group and HAIFinance both possess an intimate knowledge of the Region's history and business community practices. Both have worked extensively over decades with local legal and financial institutions throughout the Middle East. Our extensive exposure to government organizations in the region as well as with regionally involved organizations in the United States has provided an in-depth understanding of the political and economic conditions and processes unique to the area. Though recent demographic information is lacking on Iraq, per se, our on ground intelligence has confirmed our initial belief that the future market of Iraq presents compelling possibilities for the Company now being pursued with great vigor, yet appropriate caution."

re Ignite! as if Neil Bush is to 21st century Education as John Dewey is to 20th century Education :puke:

what is Neil's background in and philosophy of Education (asked redundantly)? (something to do with profiteering/money/profit over people and Nation???)

did/does Neil use Poppy Bush's post-White House taxpaid 'office' ... IOW, on our nickel ... to set up his profiteering schemes?

is the gimmick to train students to pass standardized tests in order to help sell the right-wing educational ideas ("see, they're working") ... the one concept feeds off the other in a nice win-win profiteering scheme?

just back the truck up to the Treasury ... it'd be a lot easier ... the looting is spectacular ...
