Good old Greg Palast. He’s non-partisan in his corruption-exposing. Remember the Riady family? You will. Turns out it was on their behalf that Bill Clinton pushed the Pakistani army into seizing their electricity infrastructure - a short while later, their tool Musharraf overthrew the elected government.
The Riadys also paid for the TV ads that convinced your mom to elect Bill in 1992 and again in ’96. All they got in return was 3 stage rocket technology. And apparently a bunch of Pakistani tax-money.
Is there a coal – energy angle to the Clinton Riady link?
I dunno. But this link seems to highlight a possibility. See here.
Thanks Tim. I’ve completely fallen down on the job here. I forgot all about that. It’s true too. Cut all the sweetest coal right out of the supply “with the stroke of a pen,” as Paul Begala used to say.
