12 Replies to “Tongsun Park”

  1. In the context of Canadian federal politics, especially now that we can look back, this is a strangely pregnant story. Pregnant, and hidden.
    It surely does invite speculation. What was Maurice Strong’s business with Tongsun Park anyway? You’ve got to wonder.
    Perhaps Eric Sorenson and Boag will do a tag-team, in-the-field feature-story.

  3. No one should hold their breath waiting for Canadian MSM to cover Maurice Strong and his connection with Park, the guilty money launderer, let alone the Cordex connection to Saddam Hussein.
    It will only be carried in the US , possibly by FOX News or NRO’s Claudia Rosett and Canadain conservative blogs.
    Most people would see it as typical left wing Canadian media “gate-keeping.”
    Moe is untouchable in MSM as was the Chretien era Liberal government corruption.
    MSM left wing corruption enablers.

  4. And the Cordex connection to Paul Martin–the more we read the more corrupt the ‘ruling’ class becomes. Sadly, the Liberals are just the symptom of world wide corruption. Is this what is meant by globalization? If so, then Moe and Paulie were ahead of their time.

  5. What’s Paul Desmarais’ connection to all of this?
    Central, I would imagine?
    So, Canada is “ruled” by a puppet master.
    Prime Minister Stephen Harper has a higher hill to climb than just accountability in government…He needs our prayers.

  6. If that snake strong was anywhere around he was in the middle, that you can be sure of.

  8. How do all those legalize , due diligence phrases go; guilty by association, guilty by keeping silent, guilty, by falling to come forward. Also, maybe, GUILTY BY FAILLING TO REPORT.

  9. Strong, Kofi, Tongsun Park, bribery, Saddam, etc.

    Excerpt:
    This week, yet another senior Kofi Annan advisor was under a cloud and prompted to step aside while allegations were investigated in the overall Oil For Food drama.
    Maurice Strong, a Canadian businessman and environmental activist stepped down from his role as U.N. pointman on the Korean peninsula. This came days after an indictment was unsealed against a South Korean citizen for illegal representation of a foreign government, in this case Iraq. The link: Tongsun Park is the Korean lobbyist who it turns out had conducted some business with Strong in 1997 and advised him on Korea.
    The indictment charged that Park invested $1 million in Iraqi funds in a Canadian firm owned by the son of a high-ranking U.N. official. In an interview Thursday with the “Toronto Globe and Mail,” Maurice Strong conceded it was his son Frederick Strong who headed the company Park invested in, though Strong denies any links to Oil For Food, which does appear to make him the unidentified U.N. official number two cited in the U.S. government indictment of Park.
    That indictment said Park had met with the official and that he had money ready to lobby for Iraq. Park remains out of touch in Sough Korea, but others indicted last week appeared in court in New York this week. An American businessman accused in Oil For Food scandal arrived from his Texas home where he runs Bay Oil Companies. In front of a judge, David Chalmers and a Bulgarian associated pleaded not guilty to charges they schemed with Saddam Hussein to make millions of dollars looted from the humanitarian program.

    Excerpt:
    There are two U.N. officials that are named as targets for major bribery by Saddam Hussein’s agents, two Saddam Hussein’s agents. Two of them met in restaurants and places with very high U.N. officials, they are described, they are not named. They met with those agents.
    BOLOPION: Allegations again. These are allegations. They are serious, they should be investigated fully and I totally trust the American justice to get to whether this is true or not, but for now it is not — there is nothing very solid, very concrete. That’s what I’m saying.
    AVNI: Well, Maurice Strong has admitted —
    (CROSSTALK)
    BOLOPION: The impression that you get from the media circus around that is that the United Nations is the most bribed place on the earth and, you know, nothing is working here, and you know, this is not totally true. I’m sure it isn’t.
    AVNI: Maurice Strong served as Kofi Annan’s ambassador, envoy, to the Korean peninsula at the same time that he was doing business with a man that was charged in the 70’s as a major Korean influence peddler, and there is —
    BOLOPION: He is a businessman. Maurice Strong is a businessman.
    AVNI: Well, Maurice Strong is a genius. Maurice Strong is a guy that can be a hero, both to the oil industry and at the same time to the environmental industry. How many people do you know in the world that can do both those things.
    BOLOPION: But this is not the question to me. You know, the question is whether he received money to influence the United Nations, and there is no proof of that yet. If there is some day —
    (CROSSTALK)
    AVNI: We know for sure from his admission that he was doing business with a Korean influence peddler at the same time that he was the U.N. envoy to the Korean peninsula. If that’s no interest —
    (CROSSTALK)
    BOLOPION: We don’t know that there is a quid pro quo there. The question is what did he do? What did he do for these guys? Did he pay — did he get paid by these guys? Then what did he do for them? Can you answer that question?
    AVNI: I’m not talking about whether he got paid regarding Iraq. He admits that he got paid by a Korean man for —
    BOLOPION: He didn’t get paid. His son got some investment in a family owned firm —
    AVNI: $1 million. He’s not disputing that.
    BOLOPION: There is an appearance of conflict of interest, but — …

    A Chinese intelligence officer is engaged in covertly aiding the ruling Palestinian Hamas terrorist group, according to a Paris-based intelligence newsletter picked up by the Washington Post’s Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough on June 19.
    They identify Gong Xiaosheng as a Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) official who has worked out of Ramallah since Nov. 2002, first with Yasser Arafat and latterly helping Hamas.

  12. Where is Maurice Strong?
    Why have Canadian authorities not brought Strong in for questioning?
    Who is protecting Strong? Would Paul Martin, Jr., know?

    Will Tongsun Sing? (Oil For Food)
    The Times | 7/14/06 | James Bone
    You’re a 71-year-old man with diabetes, hypertension and a kidney transplant. You’ve been in federal lock-up since you were virtually abducted from a plane in Mexico City on a trip from Canada to Panama in January. Today you are facing up to five years in prison – which could be a life term – after a jury took less than a day to convict. And there’s an additional felony charge with another five-year max looming in Washington DC. Do you sing?
    It’s not too late for Tongsun Park. Although he blew his chance at a plea bargain, he can still trade his secrets about the Oil-For-Food scandal for a lighter sentence. His trial left many unanswered questions: What happened to the $1 million in cash he got from Iraq in 1996 while serving as a conduit to then-UN chief Boutros Boutros Ghali? Who were those unnamed people he had to “take care of”? What did Park tell Maurice Strong, then a top aide to current UN chief Kofi Annan, about the source of his $1 million investment of Iraqi money into a failing company controlled by Strong? …-
