Working on the Railroad
Phil Anschutz is on the Board of Directors of the Union Pacific Railway.
His company operates the Los Angeles Lakers and many other sports teams.
AEG will take over the Millenium Dome in London and turn it into a pleasure palace.
AEG is the second largest concert promotion and tour company in the US. They also own many of the American soccer teams.
The deal is with Meridian Delta Ltd. - a consortium between Lend Lease and Quintain. Anschutz has bought many newspapers around the country.
One story you probably won’t see in those newspapers is that Lend Lease is an Australian company.
In January, 2005 the U.S. Department Of The Navy chose Actus Lend Lease for the Marine Corps Military Housing Project.
In February, 2005 The United States Air Force as Actus Lend Lease LLC concluded financial closing and operational commencement of the Phase 1 Privatization of family housing.
In May, 2005 Actus Lend Lease and the U.S. Army reached financial close on family housing projects in Hawaii and Fort Drum, New York as part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative.
They are to develop family housing and communities for a period of 50 years the Marine Corps.
Ron Oakley was appointed to the Board of Lend Lease in 2003. He worked at Fluor Corporation since 1979. (Fluor has billions in contracts in Iraq.)
Lend Lease is named in a lawsuit by workers at the 9/11 cleanup site that claims workers were unnecessarily exposed to asbestos and other toxins.
Just last spring Union Pacific slipped $25,000 to the political committee that is promoting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's "People's Reform Program."
Back when the Union Pacific was just beginning to move across the nation like a giant octopus and snuffing out the fires of competition a man by the name of E.H. Harriman ran the Union Pacific Railroad.
Prescott Bush, George Bush’s grandfather, did business with Brown, Harriman especially regarding coal mines and other concerns in Europe owned by the Nazis and run with slave labor.
During the Civil War Brown Brothers (later joining with Harriman) handled 75 percent of the cotton sent to England through blockades which enabled the south to get arms and money and prolong the conflict.
Plenty of problems.
Time to fix them.

Bush Quacks Early
President Bush had a 50 minute press conference.
He claimed it is important for the US to reform the United Nations for corruption in its oil-for-food program for Iraq and abusive behavior by some of its peacekeepers in Africa.
The oil-for-food program was corrupted by American oil companies who brought oil to the United States of America.
As for the abuses of the peacekeepers in Africa – it’s long been acknowledged that the United Nations under the insistence of the United States has employed as ‘peacekeepers’ soldiers from countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. These countries are ‘preferred’ for the duty because it is an indirect way for the US to provide them with aid and also get them to buy weapons.
In any case – a country that sponsored Abu Ghraib, the prisons in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has no moral voice to correct others.
He said, "It's an organization that is beginning to lose the trust of the American people, if it hasn't already, and it's important to restore that trust."
Was he talking about his administration or the UN? I trust Kofi Annan more than I trust Dick Cheney.
He went on, "The reason I picked Bolton is he's a no-nonsense kind of fellow who can get things done."
When speaking about Iraq, Bush blamed the violence on "a group of frustrated and desperate people who kill innocent life."
Was he was reading off the same cue cards Billy Graham and Tom DeLay use to describe America’s judicial system?
