George Soros, a billionaire, rescued Harken Energy Corporation with Harvard money.
Bill De Witt, a part owner of Spectrum 7, had acquired George W. Bush’s failed Arbusto oil business, later selling it for a profit to Harken. He also came to Bush’s rescue by offering him a chance to bid for the Texas Rangers.
James R. Bath, Salem bin Laden’s business representative in Texas, was a neighbor to George W. Bush, who obtained Laden financing for George’s Arbusto Company.
Salem bin Laden, Osama bin Laden’s oldest brother, financed George W. Bush’s Arbusto Company. He later died in an unexplained freak flying accident outside of San Antonio, Texas on May 29, 1988. No one knows why the Saudi relationship has broken down since that plane accident, or why the bin Laden family was flown out of the country immediately after the 9/11 tragedy, at a time when a national ban on all flight was in place.
Osama bin Laden’s covert and military Al Qaeda “Afgan” operation was funded by both Reagan and Bush Sr. through the CIA and the BCCI, and this nation is still looking for answers as to why this man has never been captured or killed.
Sadam Husien’s “Kerd War” was supported by both Reagan and Rumsfeld, but few know how or why, or if the U.S. provided the poison gas that would later be declared a WMD.
Khalid bin Mahfouz was one of the richest men in the World, a controlling shareholder of the subversive and corrupt Bank of Credit and Commerce International, (BCCI) which was secretly financed by the Bush CIA.
Aga Hasop Abedi, the founder of the BCCI-dealt directly with Bush Senior, the head of the CIA and William Casey, the head of CIA after Bush Sr. became President.
Herbert “Pug” Winokur was one of seven members of the Harvard Corporation’s governing body, who served as the Director of the Harvard Management Corporation, (HMC) which invested in Harken. He was also a long time member of the Enron board of directors, and as a major investor should have been aware of the potentially fraudulent financial arrangements at both Harken and Enron.
Note: Jeffrey Skillings was the architect of the fraudulent financial arrangements engineered at Enron, and has been sent to jail. And although Ken Lay, Board Chairman and former CEO died, this country still needs to investigate Lay’s close ties to this Shrub Dynasty.
Robert Stone, an oil man, headed the HMC and was a long-time supporter of the Republican Party and Bush senior.
Lawrence Lindsey was a Harvard graduate who served as Bush’s chief economic adviser. He also served on Enron’s Advisory Board.
Robert Zoellick was a Harvard graduate who served as Bush’s US trade representative. He also served on Enron’s Advisory Board.
Lawrence Summers, the previous treasury secretary and a president of Harvard made a promise to Ken Lay, saying: “I’ll keep an eye on power deregulation and energy-market infrastructure issues.”(10) Kenneth Lay, Chairman and CEO of Enron, was one of Bush’s biggest financial backers.
Richard Rainwater, a wealthy Texas financier, joined George W. Bush and several other investors who bought the Texas Rangers in 1989.
Thomas Hicks, a rich financier, and one of the wealthiest buyout specialists in Texas, served as the chairman and chief executive of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst, and bought the Texas Rangers team in 1998 for $250 million. After George W. Bush won the gubernatorial election, Hicks transferred his allegiance from Ann Richards, the previous Democratic Governor, to George . . . giving him a $25,000 campaign contribution one month after his election. Bush then appointed Hicks to the University of Texas’s Board of Regents, giving Hicks enormous latitude to use the University’s public funds to invest in ventures of his choosing. Bush accomplished this by establishing the University of Texas Investment Management Company (UTIMCO) … similar to what he’d worked with at Harvard under the HMC. Nine billion of the Texas schools assets were then handed over to UTIMCO for investment. Unlike the Texas Board of Regents, UTIMCO was not required to open its meetings or publish its activities. They were and are today free of public oversight, becoming the first external investment corporation formed by a public university. [Making this powerful public fund available to these wealthy power brokers to manipulate tax free] Bush also appointed other regents, all staunch Republican Party supporters. UTIMCO now controls the General Endowment Fund and extensive land and oil holdings that are valued at more than seven billion dollars.
Frank Carlucci, as Chairman of the Carlyle Investment Group received $10 million from UTIMCO in 1995. Carlyle has close ties to the Republican Party and the Bush family, and Frank Carlucci served as former secretary of defense under Reagan.
James Baker III has also been linked to Carlyle and served as the former Secretary of State under George H. W. Bush. George Sr. previously worked for Carlyle, and in the 1990’s, George W. Bush served on the board of directors of Caterair, a company that was acquired by Carlyle in 1989.
Henry Kravis of the KKK 1996 Fund, a subsidiary of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a leveraged buyout firm that left targeted companies nearly bankrupt during the 1980’s, received a $50 million dollar investment from UTIMCO. Henry Kravis was the firms founding partner who served as a financial co-chairman for George senior’s campaign in 1992. This firm is also listed as a 2005 corporate member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The Bass Family received a $20 million dollar investment from UTIMCO. The Bass family financed Harken Energy’s preliminary exploration oil-drilling rights off the coast of Barhain. Harken Energy, who had never drilled off coast before, obtained a very extraordinary contract that shocked the entire professional oil drilling community, when they all supposedly submitted competitive bids on this project. It should also be noted that the Bass family organization has been one of George W’s largest career patrons.
Thomas White was vice chairman of Enron Energy Services when he concealed hundreds of millions of dollars in losses and plunged California into a devastating energy crisis by manipulating the electricity market. He also served as Bush’s Army Secretary.
Harvey Pitt previously represented several big accounting firms, including the convicted Arthur Anderson firm, and several major investment houses which were also under investigation. After Bush Sr. appointed Harvey Pitt as chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), Pitt met privately with Xerox and KPMG executives while their firms were under investigation by the SEC. At that same time, James R. Doty was the SEC general counsel during the Harken investigation, which was an obvious conflict of interest. Yet these family and insider connections with Pitt and Doty clearly stood George W. Bush in good stead. Moreover, the lawyer who represented Bush during the Harken investigation, Robert Jordan, was a former law partner of Doty at the Baker Botts firm. It has also been reported that Pitt held many private meetings with Cheney prior to Cheney becoming Vice President, where it has been reported that Cheney assured him of his prospective appointment as the future head of the Energy Commission.
To sum things up, this politically active Shrub Dynasty has been growing steadily over the last fifty years, supporting this “New World Order” under the Shrub Dynasty’s
