The lawsuit that ends the oligarchs? run for cash

By John Helmer

MOSCOW - It used to be said about a fraudster in Australia that he was too crooked to lie straight in bed. Until now, however crooked the Russian oligarchs ? the handful of men who seized control of Russia?s oil and mineral wealth a decade ago ? may have seemed, the lure of their money has overwhelmed the inhibitions of investors, bankers, non-executive directors, and managers from jumping into the same bed. Until now, they had reason to believe they could get in and out swiftly, and make a clean getaway.

 

A class-action lawsuit, filed last week in a federal court in New York, changes these calculations.

 

OK, we need a link to the source here.

CNN blames John Edwards for today's stock market dip. Because that's the only reason people are buying or selling stocks today

 

The Link

Crapvision says the market discounts the future 6mo in advance. So Nov being only 5mo away cannot be the reason.

 

If its on Crapvision it must be true.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- Energy giant Total's subsidiary has shut down oil and gas production in Nigeria in the face of a threatened strike that raised management fears for the ``safety of life and property,'' a company spokesman said Tuesday.

Well now we know the why about the massive carrier deployment: Remove US citizens from oil producing countries (Bahrain & Nigeria), protect oil facilities, and to guard oil tanker sea lanes.

 

The cost of oil of imported oil, when adding defensive costs, must be double the market price by now. :o

Imperialism by any other name is still imperialism.

 

Would any stoolie go to sea without a compass?

 

Or attempt to Navigate without correcting the compass?
