BCCI trial finally starts Jan.13 in England.
You think BushInc. needs Kerry off the national stage FAST?

Every move that the BFEE has made and is making today is connected to BCCI. Especially 9-11.

4. I don't think most people understand the import of this, molly.
And too many don't WANT to understand how important it is because they would have to come to the same conclusion. Kerry is the one lawmaker alive today who has exposed MORE government corruption than ANY other lawmaker in modern history.

Some would prefer to spread the lie that Kerry, himself, is corrupt. Disgusting.

13. Is Kerry relying on DUers to make this part of his campaign?
Edited on Tue Jan-06-04 01:15 PM by HFishbine
Why isn't Kerry making this part of his campaign? The only reason I've heard is that he's waiting until he has everybody's attention. But now BLM tells us he's on the national stage, so.... we're waiting....

3. I hope the US electorate gets to hear about it.

If Kerry is stopped in the primary there will be NO focus on it at all by the media, even when it starts to heat up.

5. Not a word about it in our print media, either. Makes one wonder why.
Our lazy, corporate media is truly without peer in the world. When will they start doing their jobs--monitoring the sources of power.

What DO they teach in journalism school these days?

6. Gee...no way would the press help Bush out like this, would they?
Would the press really make sure BCCI isn't a story?

Gee....ya think?

7. Kerry IS a corporatist - Let's go to the evidence, shall we?
As I was poking around for information on John Kerry's corporate dabblings, look oh look what I found...


An off-shore tax shelter
Documents obtained by the Globe detail John Kerry's 1983 investment of between $25,000 and $30,000 in offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands. This document, signed by Kerry, shows his pledge to purchase 2,470 shares of Peabody Commodities Trading Corp. through Sytel Traders, registered in the Caymans.

My, my John! Not only a corporatist, but messing with OFF SHORE TAX SHELTERS of a DUBIOUS NATURE.

John Kerry is clearly not only a corporatist, but an elitist-Insider of privilege who pretends to be a dragon slayer of corporate underhandedness.

The tables have turned.

8. Baloney. It was legal then, and Kerry cleared that charge and in fact
the more he learned about those issues, the more he went after the companies which had been UNREGULATED. Kerry did something about it and also uncovered international terror funding.

Reagan and Bush's FBI went after Kerry and couldn't find anything to pin on him, and so did Richard Mellon Scaife who went after Kerry the same way he went after Clinton and came up with nothing. That didn't stop them from floating bad stories, though.

Funny you can't muster any outrage for Dean's push for deregulation and his dealings with the Koch brothers and his coziness with big business throughout his governship. Instead, you reserve all your outrage for someone who has done more to uncover corruption than any other lawmaker. How odd.

9. You're boy's a corporatist tax shelter seeker. My, my!

HAhahaha!!!! This is riot!

10. Kerry is the BFEE's biggest fear.
Don't believe me, GOOGLE "John Kerry" and/or the terms BCCI, Ollie North, Iran-contra drug running. You'd be surprised to learn just how corrupt the system is. You'll also learn Kerry has worked his entire adult life to bring the BFEE to Justice.

BTW: What's Dean ever done to fight the BFEE? Zero. All he is is talk. And that's why a Dean candidacy would mean four more years of Bushler.

11. Get real. You think you have something? HAHAHAHAH
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 11:45 PM by blm
You just prove how ethical Kerry is.

Keep digging, though. If you find something the BFEE and Scaife will pay you well for info their operatives failed to dig up for the last 30 years they've had tail on Kerry.

Do you think this is a sufficient distraction from Dean's dealings with the BFEE Koch brothers... Dean's coziness with banks, insurance companies, and big corporations throughout his governorship?

If you are against corporatists why are you supporting the BIGGEST corporatist in the race?

12. This is so completely lame
why do you bother? JK's a true fighter for the little guy. His personal wealth means nothing to him when fighting for the cause.
