The Sunday Times article (Galloway suspended)

Mandy · Post by **Mandy** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:18 pm

Since this thread is about the system (and we saw how GG was handled),
the article below is how the "establishment" hits back in the USA (also not forgetting
Norman Finkelstein). When tied to all the professors/lecturers shot in Iraq,
sounds like a "purge" is occurring against what may be called "refusniks"
(i.e. anyone against the current policies of the government).

Controversial 9/11 professor fired

Churchill said the allegations were a pretext to remove him because of his unpopular views

Note : Churchill is Native American.

Mandy.
Did you not know that George won't take questions that involve the Oil cash and his ex wife?

Tim,
Did you not realise you are being hypocritical by not taking questions I asked earlier :

Mandy wrote:Tim, are you a pro-zionist?

What is your position on Israeli's racist policies ?

Should Israel be boycotted ?

and

Strange .. I used simple math to say :
no evidence = cleared

that means : cleared = no evidence

So I have no idea what you are rambling about. There was no evidence against George and he was cleared.

p.s. Tim, if you are man enough, why not call into TalkSport ? Kate would probably get a few soundboard sound-bytes from George tearing you limb from limb (metaphorically speaking)

Maybe there's personal agreement not to talk about his EX wife on his radio show? Why should he anyway? He doesn't owe you or anyone else anything, does he?

don't be silly mandy.
How does that affect the cash flowing from Bagdhad to George?
And the wifes role as a channel.

Just like with Holocaust deniers probably having a secret agenda, the people who are racking over the oil for food "non-scandal" are trying to destroy GG for his anti-Israeli / anti-imperialism stand. Though the attempt has backfired BADLY judging from all the positive feedback and the resulting increased reputation of George.

So Tim, do you have a hidden agenda ? What is your view on Israel, Iraq war etc ?

If I was George, I would be saying, "I have now asked you THREE times .. if you don't answer, I will just move on to the next caller"

I have no hidden agenda.
Georges corruption or lack of it is not a political position.
Look at the bank accounts.Where did the wifes oil cash from her Jordanian bank account go.
To a Cooperative bank UK account.
Their joint account was at the Coop.
Was it the same account.
If so George benefitted personally and has committed perjury.

Oil for Food non scandal mandy?

Bay Oil?
AWB?
George?

Could have fooled me. You didn't reply to my questions 3 times about your political viewpoint. Did you leave your politics at the keyboard before typing in what you are saying

The committee cleared him 6 times from benefiting personally.

I believe I read that his ex-wife drew some expenses, but that is NOT the same as saying George benefited personally, EVEN if paid into the same joint account (since it would still be his wife's money).

The biggest and only important scandal in the Oil for Food regime is that Britain / USA / Israel were happy to strangle a nation and kill OVER a million people for political and imperialistic reasons to further their imperialistic control on the region (especially it's oil).
"A price worth paying" as Madeline Albright said.

Tim, how can you equate over 1.6 million dead with a few thousand £s paid to George's wife for expenses and/or salary ?

Where is your morale compass and outrage over what was done to the whole region ?

But then, your lack of outrage against the invaders means you probably were weepy eyed when Blair left the Commons, and are an advocate of the invasion of Iraq, and upcoming invasion of Iran.

His wife got $270,000 Oil for Food.

You misunderstand a joint account.

If you want to try it out,just phone Georges talk show and ask "Was any of Aminehs Oil for Food cash transferred from her Citibank account to your Cooperative bank joint account"

Your chances of getting on air are zero.

Mandy,
I'm not comparing deaths with Georges corruption.
You can however find anti war politicians to support who did not take part in the Oil for Food fraud.

Which is it : $150,000 in your earlier posting or $270,000 ? Also, why do you say it is from the Oil for Food ? Couldn't it have been money earned elsewhere ?

Also, you said earlier "Galloway's wife had her money paid into a Citibank account in Jordan and seven days later transferred $24,950 into a UK Cooperative bank account in the UK. "

So that's approx £12,111. Do you know how long his ex-wife worked in Iraq ? How long would be enough to justify this type of Salary ? Or, if it was Blair on the lecture circuit, it would be a few minutes talking time. But I imagine George's ex-wife spent MONTH and caught cancer from her work. How much is cancer worth to you ?

You are stating "Georges corruption" .. but George was NOT corrupt, and he was cleared of it, and received Libel damages. If you were brave enough, why not state your real name & address, and you might just get served.

Regarding "anti war politicians to support", we (as in the people on this group) support MANY anti-war politicians, none of whom were involved in any fraud. You see, being anti-war tends to go with being anti-corrupt capitalist. Their principals are NOT for sale, so they would not likely take part in any fraud.
