This may be heavy for survivors. One arrested, 200 sought in porn crackdown - 1/21/02 - By Colin Freeze Globe and Mail Update - Toronto is an international hub for the manufacture and circulation of child pornography, police said Monday as they announced one arrest and added that they are looking at 200 more suspects. "I would call child pornography an epidemic in the city of Toronto. We're one of the centres in the world," Toronto Police Staff Inspector Gary Ellis said. "It's our hidden crime, it's our hidden shame." ....the case of a Toronto man, alleged to have stored 200,000 "horrendous" computer images and videos. These images involved the sexual abuse of "tens of thousands of innocent children as young as six months old," Staff Inspector Ellis said. Police took the opportunity to slam public indifference to large amounts of pornography distributed internationally through the Internet. They also said Canada's justice system fails to crack down on offenders. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/RTGAMArticleHTMLTemplate/C/20020121/wpo rn2101?hub=homeBN&tf=tgam%252Frealtime%252Ffullstory.html&cf=tgam/realtime/con fig-neutral&vg=BigAdVariableGenerator&slug=wporn2101&date=20020121&archive=RTG AM&site=Front&ad_page_name=breakingnews http://www.truthout.com/01.11F.Arms.Carlyle.htm Arms Buildup Enriches Firm Staffed by Big Guns Defense: Ex-president and other elites are behind weapon-boosting Carlyle Group. By MARK FINEMAN Times Staff Writer January 10 2002 WASHINGTON -- Even by Washington standards, the Carlyle Group has some serious clout. President George W. Bush's father works for Carlyle; so does former Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci, whose close friend Donald H. Rumsfeld now runs the Pentagon; and so does a stellar cast of retired generals and Cabinet secretaries, including former Secretary of State James A. Baker III. And even by Wall Street standards, the Carlyle Group has some serious money: $12.5 billion in investments at last count. The Washington-based private equity firm, which advises and invests for wealthy clients and institutions, has shown returns of more than 34% through the last decade, particularly through timely defense and aerospace investments. So when President Bush declared war on terrorism in September, few were better poised than Carlyle to know how and when to make money. http://www.newscoast.com/headlinesstory2.cfm?ID=35115 Author links Bush family to Nazis posted 11/11/00 STAFF REPORT The president of the Florida Holocaust Museum said Saturday that George W. Bush's grandfather derived a portion of his personal fortune through his affiliation with a Nazi-controlled bank. John Loftus, a former prosecutor in the Justice Department's Nazi War Crimes Unit, said his research found that Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a principal in the Union Banking Corp. in Manhattan in the late 1930s and the 1940s. Leading Nazi industrialists secretly owned the bank at that time, Loftus said, and were moving money into it through a second bank in Holland even after the United States declared war on Germany. The bank was liquidated in 1951, Loftus said, and Bush's grandfather and great-grandfather received $1.5 million from the bank as part of that dissolution. "That's where the Bush family fortune came from: It came from the Third Reich," Loftus said. http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20020204&s=corn February 4, 2002 - Enron and the Bushes - by David Corn When George W. Bush was first running for governor of Texas, Washington editor David Corn took a look at Bush family activities on behalf of Enron in Argentina--itself now suffering the results of untamed financial markets. We reprint this November 21, 1994, article to show how Enron's connections with the Bushes stretch not just to Washington but around the world. --The Editors Several years ago, says Rodolfo Terragno, a former Argentine Cabinet Minister, he received a telephone call from George W. Bush, son of the then-Vice President. When he hung up, Terragno was annoyed, he recalls, for the younger Bush had tried to exploit his family name to pressure Terragno to award a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Enron, an American firm close to the Bush clan..... George W. did not detail his relationship with the pipeline project or with Enron, according to Terragno. The Argentine did not know that Enron and the Bush set are cozy. President Bush is an old friend of Kenneth Lay, Enron head for the past ten years and a major fundraiser for President Bush. After the 1992 election left Secretary of State (and Bush pal) James Baker jobless, he signed as a consultant for Enron. An article by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker last year disclosed that Neil Bush, another presidential son (the one cited by federal regulators for conflict-of-interest violations regarding a failed savings and loan), had attempted to do business with Enron in Kuwait.
