So what's up with this Finis Shellnut guy? Katrina, Gennifer Flowers
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 05:42 PM by seemslikeadream
The show featured a recap from New Orleans of the major unpleasantness of Hurricane Katrina, and an interview with a local “restauranteur” named Finis Shellnut, crowing about the blow the disaster had struck to the city’s poor people…

The name rang a bell. We couldn’t quite place it, though. Then we found another hurricane interview he’d done. An accompanying picture shows him sitting at a table with a bottle of champagne…
~snip~
“Finis Shellnut stuck in French Quarter on phone, surrounded by looters,” FOX NEWS reported. Then, later: “Finis Shellnut reports looters shot police officer in head."

Who is Finis Shellnut? What light does he shed on the possibility for there being a "Big Fix 2006?"

The financially oh-so-lucky Shellnut is the former brother-in-law of Bill Clinton’s close personal and political friend, former Asst U.S. Attorney General Webster Hubbell (who went to federal prison for a Whitewater-related conviction), as well as a former law partner of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But his real claim on notoriety came when he was identified as the man who picked up the duffel bags filled with cash dropped by CIA Drug Pilot Barry Seal at the Triple S Ranch near Hot Springs, Arkansas. An estimated $9 million per week fell out of the sky.

Will the Big Easy Become White, Rich and Republican?


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,168308,00.html

You've been there, Mr. Shelnutt, from the very beginning. Number one, how have you survived? Did you stockpile food and water before the storm?

FINIS SHELNUTT, TRAPPED IN FRENCH QUARTER: Well, by God's grace I'm still alive, and a couple of my friends that I've brought them in from my building. And I'll put it this way I think. Jesus will be back before the military.

O'REILLY: OK. So you've been there from the duration. You still have enough food and water to hold out?

SHELNUTT: Just — we're getting extremely low.

O'REILLY: You're on St. Louis Street. That's high ground in the French Quarter. No water in the street. But what's the looter factor there? How many of them are there and what are they doing?

SHELNUTT: Bill, it started off I guess the night after the hurricane the looting started. And the police were chasing looters a block away from me. And a couple of looters stopped and shot a policeman in the head - in the forehead and killed him.

Seal <…> contined, “Yeah, that day you explained to me the connection between the Ward family and the Rose Law Firm and the governor’s mansion, well I about shit! Ya see what ya didn’t know was I was on a secret mission by none other than the Agency to sort of, uh, dirty up some people real close to the governor. Now, I had been workin’ on this through none other than Dan Lasater. Now Dan’s a good ol’ boy and all that, but he’s gotta drug problem, and he’s got the balls to be stealin’ from the Agency, too. From what I hear, Dan’s been doin’ a lot of questionable out-of-state investin’. In fact, he’s stashin’ a lot of cash in a resort in New Mexico.
“I was told to exploit that, which I was workin’ on. But you come along with this new connection. And when ya told me that Finis Shellnut was the guy at the ranch (where the ‘green flights’ dropped their money in Arkansas)…dollar signs started dancin’ in my head. I saw an immediate way to get some white stuff up some noses around Bill Clinton real fast. Now don’t get mad, but that duffel bag I had ya take over to Skeeter Ward wasn’t really money.”
“I’m afraid to ask what it was,” Terry said <…>.
“Let’s don’t call it cocaine. Let’s just call it neutralizin’ powder. Least that’s the way the Bush family saw it. This is just one family warrin’ against another. Just like the Mob.”
“Goddam, Barry, this is heavy shit! Are you saying you were the source of the cocaine ending up around a lot of important people in Arkansas? Like the ones I’ve been reading about in the paper. There’s a major scandal brewing there….”
Terry sat silently and continued to think. Seal gazed out the window and said nothing.
Already predicting the answer by Seal’ silence, Terry asked, “Did you have anything to do with Roger (Clinton) and some of those guys in Lasater’s firm getting investigated?”
“Terry, I told ya when I met ya, I’m in transportation and I transport whatever the government wants transported. In this case, the Republicans…the Bush family…wanted some stuff transported through Mena and into Arkansas that would end up in the noses of some very prominent Democrats. And yes, I must ‘fess up, I’ve had a hand in that, YEEE-HAWWWWWW! It’s not who ya know, it’s what ya know.”

1. I'm not finished digesting all the above,
but it's certainly an interesting find.

3. Kicked, bookmarked, recommended!
I had scanned over some of this the other day at madcowprod, but missed the whole Gennifer Flowers connection. Definitely want to read all the links, but in the meantime:

5. the bush family was tied very deep to Barry Seal. Bush senior flew around
on on barry's airplane for a long time, (google Barry Seal + Bush + airplane) and bush senior's personal telephone number was found on seal at the time of his death.

James Hatfield died because he connected bush jr, cocaine and barry seal.

It was seal's plane that george was filmed by the FBI in taking off briefcases of cocaine in Miami some years back.

Now... wasn't WARD the last name of the abramoff associate who jumped to her death in London in front of onlookers just a couple days ago? Any connection?
