John Major asking Blair to come clean. ROFLMAO. Looks like Tony's in danger of losing his
promised seat on the board of Carlyle next to his friend John Major!
Bush, Bin Laden and The Carlyle Group
WHAT is the missing link between the CIA, American weapons firms, Wall Street, John Major and the Bin Laden family? The answer is
The Carlyle Group, an immensely powerful financial empire with enough dodgy connections and questionable interests to keep an army of conspiracy theorists occupied for years. The chances are you won’t have heard of this extraordinarily sinister organisation, the world’s largest private equity firm. The Carlyle Group doesn’t go out of its way to court publicity - unsurprisingly, considering what it gets up to - and it is virtually invisible even outside its official UK head office address at 20 Berkeley Square in London’s Mayfair (The group also has offices in Lansdowne House at 57 Berkeley Square). But bits and pieces are starting to emerge about its operations, building up a frightening picture of the fusion of mega-powerful global financial interests with so-called "democratic" governments like the USA and the UK. Just think about the scenario, A global war on "terrorism" is started that brings about a big boost in defence spending in the USA and a massive profit for a company with close links not only to the President, his father and their entourage but also to a certain Bin Laden family in Saudi Arabia, one of whose members is accredited with kicking off the whole militarist frenzy... Can this be true? Do we sound crazy? If you don’t believe us, why not check it out for yourself? The evidence is all there if you can get access to the internet for a few hours. You might start with The Carlyle Group’s own website
