BTW, the Enron thingy seems to have disappeared from the radar

screen.

My question is who are those attorneys who were in charge of keeping their clients outta trouble? Corporations of this size all have a bunch of lawyers not to mention law firms who stand guard at the front door of Trouble. They make sure all moves are complying with the laws/

Obviously, something went awry and thousands of stockholders ended up with a loss dooming a good retirement.

So the question begs, who were the attorneys? Are they off the hook? Did they abscond with the loot? Partial?

Something is awfully smelly here.

Come, we remember the days when Honor, Respect, and Sanity was present in the Oval Office and much of our leading business firms.

except for the Kobe Bryant story, and of course, Ahnuld!

Sad and pathetic

I've suspected for a LONG time that Kenny will get off scot free. Martha Steward is being pilloried as an example of how energetically Smirk is pursuing the evildoers. The big fish will walk. Martha is expendible. Uppity female!

...the Enron boys? How can the silence about this be so deafening? There is a disconnect in this country bigger than anything we could have imagined. Being parted from their money has always been the surest way to wake up the otherwise complacent citizenry. Where is the outrage? I don't get it.

pitch tents outside Lays mansion until he is arrested!

1. The corporate media is no longer covering it, even though people are still interested.

2. The people think that someone besides those responsible is to blame. (Example: my reich-wing mother blames everything on Bill Clinton or the closest Democrat to the problem. When she lost $30,000 in the stock market, it was Clinton's fault, even though he hadn't been president for several months.)

3. It didn't affect enough people to stay on the radar past 9-11.

4. Americans are stupid.

Personally, I think number 4 mixed with something else might be the culprit. Hardly anyone I know can write in complete, coherent sentences and most of them have the attention span of can of tuna.

Come, we go drop 50 million Ginko Biloba tablets into the nation's water supply.

OOPS. I forgot. You have to be other than ABSOLUTELY JACK STUPID to remember anything more than to wipe your ass after a shit.

Getting to the bottom of all the fraud might just lead to Langley in far too many emabarrasing ways. (for those people, that is)

not to mention the 1000's of offshore bank accounts

who lost all that money??? Aren't they banding together to seek justice and/or restitution? Are they afraid (of what?)? Are they all 'praying on it' (don't get me wrong here, I AM a follower of Jesus Christ) Were they all offered Hallburton stock (in lieu of)? Where the heck are they and what are they thinking/doing these days??? This affected thousands (tens of thousands?) of people!

To rip open the Enron scandal- it's a very big part of what's at the heart of their deficit.

How can the attorneys look themselves in the mirror without feeling some guilt?

I guess rationalization of the delusional kind does wonders. Damn

One thing nice and ethical people often have trouble with is accepting the natural ugliness of many people. To the gentle and decent, these people must be labeled as "insane" or "anomalous" or "misguided" or "desperate" or something else to cushion one from the reality that there's real-live deliberate ugliness out there.

Society is regulation, and our greatest enemies are always each other. By protecting ourselves from the ugliness inherent in humanity, we are able to enjoy the ample love and beauty in humanity. Unfortunately this lulls us into the mistaken comfort of forgetting that ugliness exists.

I guarantee you that some of these people laugh with glee at knowing what they did. Many are just justifying it to themselves and doing it fine, but some revel in their superiority and some actually love the agony of others.

Most of them just justify it as "part of the game" and "shenanigans" that everyone else engages in too.

Conservatism (anti-regulation, "me" first laissez-faire adventurism) will absolutely destroy society because it is against the very nature of society.

in her speeches and debates during her campaign bid.

She kicks Enron's ass in her book "Pigs at the Trough".

would be beating on this every day, saying that Bush is a crook for not prosecuting his friends and that they will prosecute them.

.......With a veteran mud slinger such as Davis, I expect California voters will be inundated with Enron scandal imfo-commercials....My worry regarding the investigations is that much of the activities will be delegated to the "legal but unethical dustbin" due to the weakening of SEC oversite laws from the early 90's (Gingrich/Graham)and as Dick Morris described Christopher Dodd as well.....One thing is for certain, it is the investor class that will have to push for accountability although workers retirement funds have taken a beating as well.....We can only hope that the slow wheels of Justice eventually grind the bastards up......

OK OK maybe not fatally but something hatta be done. Its just not FAIR to see them assholes get away with that kinda money

:hippie:

and a bong

:smoke:

That seems to have slipped away with Kobe and Ahnold on the scene.

The media is an accomplice to the soldiers and Iraqi's dying in iraq.

Damn, that woman has a brain. Makes Bush look like Mongo from Blazing Saddles.

That's just unnecessary. Mongo was a much smarter & nicer guy than Georige, boy. I'm surprised at you!
The Professor

So He's sittin' on FREE PARKING ready to advance token to WATER WORKS!

Come, we see how Bush is doin' on SHORT LINE RAILROAD!

Das iz me hope laddie.

Come, we go fishing for catfish

It's the nonglobal warming I reckon! Everybody on earth knows about global warming but Bushco! The catfish all drowned by now!

Come, we Dig Coal for entertainment and more smog!

on the CBS Evening News, they ran a piece on Enron. It was an update on what was happening. Read about it here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/08/04/eveningnews/main566604.shtml

It sounds too good to be true in some ways. Is there not an Enron II Redux already rising debt free and "unconnected" from the ashes out on the frontiers of the PNAC Oil Empire? The article makes it sound like Shilling and Lay are a) not all that reposnible or proecutable b) reduced to paltry millions in house arrest.

And the report OTHER than that gloss over of the top execs is old, perfunctory and shallow, minus all outrage. Tough luck investors. Not even a quiver on the needle of concern of the WH adminstration. There IS no radar.

Its all stonewalling and fluff, typ pub shit

But then its good to see some amount success in pursuing the rat bastards who absconded with the loot.

Goddamn 50 dollar surcharge. The whole west coast was screwed over by Kenny Boy and the California con.

The Press on the BCCI-bin Mahfouz-bin Laden Intelligence Nexus

(snip)
O’Neill gave an overview of the Enron block to two French authors who will soon be publishing in the United States. The FBI is currently investigating Loftus’ links to John O’Neill, and is also refusing FBI agent Robert Wright permission to publish his own findings about the Enron block.

Loftus asserts that the Enron block, which remained in force from January 2001 until August 2001 when the pipeline deal collapsed, is the reason that none of FBI agent Rowley’s requests for investigations were ever approved. As numerous British and French authors have concluded, the information provided by European intelligence sources prior to 9/11 was so extensive, that it is no longer possible for either CIA or the FBI to assert a defense of incompetence.

It is time for Congress to face the truth: In order to give Enron one last desperate chance to complete the Taliban pipeline and save itself from bankruptcy, senior levels of US intelligence were ordered to keep their eyes shut and their subordinates ignorant.
The Enron cover-up confirms that 9/11 was not an intelligence failure or a law enforcement failure (at least not entirely). Instead, it was a foreign policy failure of the highest order. If Congress ever combines its Enron investigation with 9/11, Cheney’s whole house of cards will collapse.
