With the trial of Tongsun Park now underway, guess who just popped out of his rabbit hole with a denial?
Having served UN Secretaries-General since 1970 in several advisory and executive capacities I have had no involvement or connection whatsoever with the UN’s Iraqi oil-for-food program or any other of its Iraqi activities. Indeed I cannot recall a single instance in which I had any contact or discussion on the program with any of the officials responsible. In 1997, Mr. Park invested on a normal commercial basis in an energy company with which I was associated that had no relationship with Iraq. I have continued to maintain a relationship with Mr. Park. Indeed, as a native of North Korea he has advised me on North Korean issues in my role as UN Envoy. I will make myself available to both the Volcker Commission and the US Attorney’s Office to provide any further information which would assist in the expeditious resolution of this matter so as to have this cloud removed as soon as possible.
A reader reminds us of the Paul Martin – Cordex connection to Mr. Park, for old times sake
A little damage control anyone.
I had heard that he was hiding in China–did he say this through an interpreter?
Father, Son, and, Tongsun Park.

Maurice Strong: “I want to make clear that:”
Paul Martin, Jr.: “Let me be clear about one thing:”
Address by Prime Minister Paul Martin at the First Ministers Meeting … Let me be clear about one other thing: If our methods aren’t producing results, … google
Sounds to me like circumpolar Moe.
Remember him, the hot air Kyoto guy?
Some of us Canadians remember him, one time head of Ontario hydro, the massive aquifer under the 100,000-acre Baca ranch he and his wife Hannah once owned. his alleged insider stock trading a number of years ago, his freebee trip around the north pole with her royal highnesses’ Canadian stand-in, Adrienne Clarkson, Canadian Privy Councillor, special advisor to former PM Paul Martin JR.
Is the noose on the world stage tightening as his influence wanes in Canada? I suspect Harper and company are not about to have him as a special advisor like Paul Jr. did.
Anyone who can’t recall cashing a million dollar cheque during his UN participation is either in an advanced memory deteriorating stage or a damned liar and deserves to be thoroughly investigated in the Iraqi oil for food scandal.
Keep on saying it isn’t so Moe! Who will believe you?
And who will vouch for Moe? Kofi? Sadam? George Galloway?
“I Am Not A Crook” Tongsun Park = Taqiyyalope
Not expecting any justice here, after all it’s the UN…
He is also leading the charge to bring millions of cheap Chinese cars to America.
So much for Kyoto.

DATELINE; OAK LAKE, MANITABA, CANADA 1929. Born, Maurice Strong. Perhaps Tongsun Park’s trial will shed some light on Canada’s contribution to ALL THE WORLD”S HOAXES. United Nations, One World Governance, Earth Charter, Kyoto Protocol, Manitou Ranch, Canada’s unelected Privy Council, University of Peace, Saddam’s Oil For Food Scandal, Ontario Hydro/Costa Rica Rainforest fiasco, Fringe Religion Preservation,…….

Claudia Rosett has a more recent post with greater detail that you may want to include as an update.
I have added her to my bookmarks as it appears she may have much more of interest on this file.
And correct me if I’m wrong, but did you not have some posts (during the election) regarding this that linked PMPM to the same Mo Strong “commercial interest” that Tong Sun Park was supposedly “investing” this cool mill in?

Interesting if you parse the 4 paragraphs.
In paragraphs 2 and 3 Mr. Park’s name appears. It doesn’t appear in paragraphs 1 or 4. The denial is in paragraph 1; it makes no mention of Mr. Park. Based upon my reviews of prior episodes of Law and Order, I would say we are at the 35 minute mark of a 60 minute episode; Mr. Strong and Mr. Park have different attorneys and are beginning the end game with the prosecutors.
I would imagine that the US authorities are able to monitor communications with Mr. Park, so communication between the defendants would be difficult, albeit not impossible.

Martin/Kofi had a tete-a-tete nooner/”no note takers” earlier this year at UN HQ.
What was on the agenda? Was Moe Strong with the “pair” by tele-conference? Was Martin returning the keys to the bathroom? …-

UNITED NATIONS – After a vacation in Europe, former prime minister Paul Martin met privately yesterday with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan — a day before the UN chief unveils major proposals for a management shakeup at the organization.
UN sources said Mr. Martin requested the noon get-together, adding there were “no note takers” in the room as would be usual if the pair were discussing official business.
“They discussed issues that were of mutual interest to one another,” one official confided. “There was nothing specific that we know of. …-
I believe ALL CANADIANS should pay particular attention to THE TONGSUN PARK/UN trial now taking place.
I have always wondered how a society/country could fall out of Democracy, or never achieve it. How, for example, could the USSR’s people endured such a horrible gov’t for so long. Well, I believe they were duped and brainwashed with the help of the media, especially Pravda. I find it very telling to read Pravda on-line and compare the method of “reporting” with our own CANADIAN MEDIA, especially the MSM.
The UN was able to pull the wool over our collective eyes with the help of the MSM. NO MORE, not with the free and openned Internet. Did some one mention that the UN wants to tax/control the wwww ?
Many, many well intentioned endevours have ended up broken. Medicare, Canadian Unity Programs, Vietnam, Miribelle Airport, Canadian Wheat Board, Y2K, Equalization, Business Cartels, Unions,……
When it comes to Democracies and the people in CONTROL, we must be vigilant EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY.
Maurice Strong will go down in history as a machiavellian figure. In the end a loser.
One who tried using a bundle of fairy tales to turn these myths into reality. At the cost of individual liberty , law, justice , morals & religion.
Pep lacing them with collectivism, decayed mega institutions, taking choice away from adults, denying family & parental connections.
All in the name of an ideology soaked in the blood of millions & failed empires & nations.
This from a life long Elitist, & privileged man.
As one poster put it, I believe in what Harper is doing. Because trust me Alberta would have gone if Liberals would have again won.
I think he’s the first PM this guy does not own.
REVNANT DREAM, you said it ALL !!
How can a con-artist succeed for so long ? A few years, ok. A decade, maybe. But a life time !!?? Only because of slective Journalism. The media has controlled our lives since the Printing Press was invented in, when 1600’s ? In fact, were many early media organizations simply an arm of Political Parties ??
The way I see it, SDA is like an Auditor General to the MSM. Kate Fraser, ha.

Thanks for the link Kate. Even with the infusion of one million dollars it sadly appears that Cordex wasn’t able to stay solvent in the economically challenged oilpatch.
I just hope the shareholders wern’t hurt too badly.

Do you think the world will ever forgive Canada for unleashing this scum into public life ??
Fred, a secondary question to yours: “Do you think Canadians will ever forgive the Libranos for unleashing this scum into public life??”
Among the highlights so far has been Vincent’s account of retaining the services of a New York lawyer, Theodore Sorensen — famous as a former speechwriter for President Kennedy — to draft proposals for the nascent Oil-for-Food program, which Vincent says he then relayed to Iraq.
“CASH BY THE BAGFUL”
06/30 02:03 AM
Welcome to the World of Oil-for-Food. The biggest scandal ever to hit the U.N. Arguably the biggest scam in history, in which a U.N. program became a vehicle for a murderous tyrant to scam, skim, and steal billions meant for relief.
And so we come to the trial of Tongsun Park, accused by federal prosecutors of acting as an unregistered agent of Saddam Hussein, accused of playing a vital role in a secret “back-channel” network carrying messages and money between Baghdad and the U.N. executive suite. The defense lawyer has compared the prosecution’s case to “a Tom Clancy novel” and says his client is “absolutely not guilty.” The prosecution has accused Park of selling his high-level U.N. access for “cash by the bagful,” and receiving $2.5 million from Iraq for his labors, with Iraq promising millions beyond that.
Cash looms large in this case. During the past three days of testimony by state cooperating witness Samir Vincent, we have heard about cash carried around not only in grocery bags, but in envelopes, canvas diplomatic pouches, a suitcase, a bulging briefcase, cash spread out on a hotel bed, and, at one point, during a trans-Atlantic flight from Germany to Newark airport, at least $420,000 in $100 bills stuffed by a helpful courier into his coat, socks and underwear.
As for the cast of characters, there’s something for everyone. On Monday, during jury selection, the judge read out a list of names of “Individuals who may testify or whose names may come up.” A few highlights from that list (no, Dick Cheney is not going to testify, and John Bolton has not been accused of anything):
Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Kofi Annan, Saddam Hussein, Tariq Aziz, Theodore Sorensen, Gillian Sorensen, Maurice Strong, Frank Strong, Kenneth Strong, Kristina Mayo, Theodore Kheel, Jean-Claude Aime, Richard Helms, William E. Timmons, Colin Powell, Brent Scowcroft, Frank Carlucci, Jack Kemp, Oscar Wyatt, John Bolton, James Baker, Bob Dole, Elizabeth Dole… the list goes on. Some are simply mentioned in passing, or have been described by a witness for the prosecution as approached by Iraq with no luck. Some have figured heavily in the testimony so far. Some have yet to come up. More on this as the trial unfolds …

speaking of business connections:
remember the bre-x mining scandal?
remember how brian mulroney used his connections to squeeze bre-x out of the role to ‘mine’ the ore and squeezed his friends at barrick in so they would reap the lion’s share of the profits? remember that little tactic by a former prime minister?
that was before the truth came out about the salting of the samples.
Tongsun Park, Maurice Strong, Reid Morden at Atomic Energy of Canada

…And just in time for his trial, Tongsun Park has his own website…

Secrets revealed. Tongsun Park in charge of Canada’s nuclear agency:
…From 1996 to 1999, Mr. Park was an advisor and then the CEO of the Canadian Atomic Energy Company (AECL), which marketed nuclear reactors to Asia…
tongsunpark.com/international_stage
This money in bags and envelopes sure has the ring of the LPOC about it.
Hopefully Paul Martins name is on the list of those to testify.
Park an advisor to the AECL–interesting–isn’t that where the father of one of the men arrested for suspected planning terrorism in Canada works?
The trial is happening in the United States, (because it would NEVER happen in this country!) “Da poof is da poof, and when you have good poof, it if poofen!”
“Isn’t that where the father of one of the men arrested for suspected planning terrorism in Canada works?”
Yes. His son, S. Abdelhaleen, is alleged to have helped with collecting the bomb-making ingredients.
Brian Mulroney and Paul Martin are one and the same. Just a little piece of the eastern oligarchy headquartered at the intersection of Bay Street and Sussex Drive.
The old conservative party fractured after the Mulroney fiasco. The new conservative party is the reform party wing of the of the split. The BQ the fake conservative courted by PMBM, the McKay conservatives the remnants of the old conservative party who still believe in the old system of payoffs for votes.
Thank God that the Reform movement is still alive under the bureaucracy of government.It is a long road home to Canadian values after 30 years of propaganda from Libs, the Old PCs including Liberal Plant -Joseph Clark, and the MSM.
— cal2, exactly. The problem in Canada has been the “political boy’s club”, especially the power brokers like Maurice Strong. But the MSM allowed, made it happen. Pierre Burton said; the CBC was the glue that kept Canada together. As we now know, the CBC is one big HOAX. Just like the UN, Kyoto, Martin, Strong et al.
The MSM helped promote and perpetuate the Canadian disunity problem, so that the Political Elite could swoop in and “save us”. But how come, when ever I travel Canada, I find the people to be just like “me”. Statements like; but I read, or I saw on TV,… Ya, that is what the media says, as they always try to find disidents, activists to quote. Do not try to “help” us, you PPG, and we Canadians will get along just fine.
B. Hoax: It’s called divide and conquer.
The great thing about the blogs is, the MSM, our imposter politicians and NGO hacks like Moe Strong can no longer pull the wool over our eyes. We’re all having a good look at the landscape ourselves and are realizing, as you say, that THEY’RE the problem not all the things that, supposedly, divide us and which they have to “fix.”
Sweet.

Departing Allan Rock calls for major UN overhaul
CTV News
The United Nations is in critical trouble and needs a major overhaul if the organization is to survive, Allan Rock told CTV’s Question Period.
“It’s not a happy place right now, which isn’t to say it’s hopeless,” said Rock, who stepped down as Canada’s UN ambassador on Friday after 2 1/2 years.

Critics have accused the organization of becoming increasingly irrelevant, citing inaction on the Darfur crisis, corruption in the defunct oil-for-food program and sexual misconduct by peacekeepers in Africa.

why the fuk does rock wait until the eve of his departure to say anything? most definitely gets ignored then.
too imbued with the notion of catering to the majority and manouvering to his advantage which most ways means keeping the mouth shut save platitudes.
