From the Tongsun Park Oil-For-Food trial, we learn this about the good friend and business partner of Maurice Strong;
In early 1996, about 10 months before Oil-for-Food finally rose from the vat as a living U.N. program, Tongsun Park allegedly asked Vincent for $10 million from Iraq to take care of his "expenses" and his "people." Vincent relayed this to his contact and friend, the then-ambassador of Iraq to the U.N. in New York, Nizar Hamdoon.It's a small world.Asking, "Why don't we make some money?" Hamdoon suggested a different arrangement: Instead of asking Baghdad to bankroll $10 million for Park, Vincent and Hamdoon should ask for $15 million, give $5 million to Park and keep the remaining $10 million for themselves.
In short order, Hamdoon reported to Vincent that Iraq had approved the request. Vincent set off immediately for Baghdad, making arrangements to transfer the expected $15 million to offshore accounts. When he arrived in Baghdad, all seemed well. He was received with smiles and tea by Iraqi Oil Minister Amir Rashid, and invited to compose contracts spelling out the arrangements for the $5 million and $10 million payments, which Rashid signed.
From 1996 to 1998, Tongsun Park served as adviser and then the CEO of Canadian Atomic Energy Co..
"On October 16, 1996, Reid Morden wrote a letter to Maurice Strong and Tongsun Park "requesting on behalf" of Atomic Energy of Canada for "the support of Mr, Park and Mr. Strong for the sale of "Candu 9" nuclear reactors during their upcoming meeting in Korea with Korean leaders."Reid, who was `employed from 1994 to 1998 as President and Chief Executive Officer" of AECL, `a company owned by the Canadian government’ could not be reached for comment. The Canadian government will not investigate the more than $100 billion oil-for-food program that operated for seven years. As CFP previously reported Canada is the seventh largest donor to the United Nations,"
For now, I am trying to square Maurice Strong’s 2005 denial of any contact with “any of the officials responsible” for Oil-for-Food with testimony from state’s witness Samir Vincent on Thursday, in which Vincent described a lunch meeting at a Chinese restaurant near the U.N.. This lunch took place in late 1996. At the time, Oil-for-Food was just getting underway, and according to Vincent, the Iraqis had decided not to bother paying Tongsun Park millions of dollars promised to him earlier that year. Park was “very unhappy,” according to Vincent’s testimony, and arranged a high-powered lunch, in a private room, to which he invited three others: Samir Vincent; Iraq’s then-ambassador to the U.N., Nizar Hamdoon; and one of Park’s high-powered friends at the U.N., Maurice Strong, who dropped by for about 45 minutes to exchange pleasantries, but having put in an appearance, left before the lunch was over.Vincent testified Thursday that after Strong left the lunch, Tongsun Park turned to Iraq’s ambassador Hamdoon and “told him now you see my commitment, now you see why I need Iraq to keep their commitment to me and to continue what they promised to do.”

The World According to Strong: The Life and Times of Maurice Strong
When Maurice Strong was a young man, he quickly figured out that his high school diploma wouldn't get him very far. It was all about whom you knew, not what you knew - and Strong has always had a knack for developing key relationships. He gave a young Paul Martin his first job-and then fired him. Today, he is the most influential Canadian on the planet, and his tireless networking skills give him access to the corridors of power around the world. His fascinating story is told in The World According to Strong. ...
Strong lives on four continents, and we follow him as he travels between Moscow, Beijing, New York and Ottawa. He has the ear of the world's most powerful, but he is largely unknown in Canada. That's about to change, as Maurice Strong reconnects with an old protégé - Paul Martin. ...-

"The Canadian Gov't will not investigate the more than 100 Billion oil for food program that operated for more than 7 years."
Which Canadian Gov't ?? And why not ??
Failure of the "indifferent national media to report on the Canadian connections central to this largest fraud scandal in history"
Sorry, I think it is the SECOND LARGEST in history. The Largest being The Kyoto Protocol. Both, however, seem to invole Maurice Strong. Why will the Canadian MSM not report on it ? Makes on wonder, if there is not a case here, where the media could be charged as an accomplice in both scandals.

Right on. Totally agree.
"Makes on wonder, if there is not a case here, where the media could be charged as an accomplice in both scandals."
The mainstream media is complicit in all of this. They are owned and controlled by the same people who were behind the European Union and who are now behind the North American Union (of which the FTA and NAFTA are a part), and eventually the FTAA. Geez, even Lou Dobbs understands this.

"It does make one wonder what it will take to rouse our curiously indifferent national media to report on the Canadian connections central to this largest fraud scandal in history."
Large scale reporting on this would imply flogging high-profile Canadian liberals and tainting Canada's image at the UN, not to mention calling into question the legitimacy of the UN itself and other liberal darling programs, like Kyotyo, as other commenters have mentioned.
In short it would require the liberal media to expose global liberal elites as corrupt, malicious and wrong, something they will likely never do, particularly when those they might criticize wield so much power and influence.
Posted by: markpeters.ca at July 4, 2006 3:36 PMRemember as well that the media is no longer an objective body; it considers itself a political machine with an axe to grind. But of course political groups often fall prey to political powers. One might say this is the case here.
Posted by: markpeters.ca at July 4, 2006 3:39 PMI seem to remember voting for a government with no ties to any of the above. I put my trust in them to bring back the rule of law to this country. And if "broken-hearted" McKay is sitting on this, he'd better join his buddy Brison.
Posted by: rebarbarian at July 4, 2006 3:43 PMIt is my belief that Mr. Strong hoped to broker the purchase of hot air credits from various countries to Canada, and get himself a large commission in the process, similar to what was done when he bought the oil companies which became Petro Canada. This is why he is so much in favor of the Kyoto Protocol.

Posted by: Lois at July 4, 2006 6:37 PMWhat amazes me in this whole UN/Maurice Strong/ Park thing is : there is virtually no attempted defence of "it", them. Not even by the Social/comms, so far on this thread also. Is MS, Earth Charter, One World Governance debate SO HOPELESS even the Wacos won't touch it ?? Not even the MSM ??
Posted by: B. Hoax Aware at July 4, 2006 6:45 PMIt would seem so B. Hoax Aware. I guess Uncle Mo and his crazy schemes are rarely talked about over the kitchen table.
Sad really how they have turned their backs on one of their partiarchs.

The MSM have been bought off Hoax.They are told exactly what they can't say and what they can say. So some research sometime to see who owns them.
This One World Government is "hiding in plain site". The ordinary people -- that's us -- are so damn busy making ends meet most of us don't have the time to do the research. I've spent the last year and a half since I retired researching the whole sham and I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen the evidence for myself.
Kyoto was a fraud of HUGE proportions and it almost worked. The UN, North American Union, FTA, NAFTA, etc. are also frauds.
I voted for Harper and will next time. But I don't have much hope that he will do the right thing in several areas. Kyoto is just one of them. He did say no to the Kyoto Credits but I wanted him to walk away from Kyoto completely. But then I wanted him to tell the UN to go to hell too. So much for what I want.
Canada would have been better off with no central government since WWII. None of them have given a damn about Canada.

There are two excellent books out there on the One World Government. One is "Pawns in the Gamn" and the other "Global Tyranny". Makes for interesting reading.
