Revelations about the Dubai Port Deal                                     by Joseph A. Lypowy 3/8/06

  Recently Charles McMahon of Toms River wrote two letters supporting President Bush’s UAE port fiasco in the Ocean County Observer. It is  bad enough that Bush and his internationalist cronies want foreigners to be supervising our ports, but in his first letter, he suggests that we use prison criminals to provide port security. Then in his second letter ,published on March 8, he attempts to comfort us by stating that the Council on Foreign Relation, a private internationalist elitist organization, approves of the port deal. That is like having the fox guard the hen house. The CFR is the orchestrator of the port deal and is the organization that gives Bush and his administration their marching orders. Virtually everyone in the Bush administration are members of the CFR.

   Here are some facts that McMahon doesn’t mention in his defense of the port deals. McMahon is or was Chief Engineer for CSX Transportation Corp. of Jacksonville FLA. CSX is one of the countries largest freight companies. The CEO of CSX is Michael J. Ward, who has a 2.1 million Dollar a year salary and is a member of the Business Round Table, an organization with ties to the CFR and other internationalist groups advocating globalization and world government. Another interesting fact about CSX is that it is also the owner of the Greenbriar Hotel Resort. in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Besides having a pricy room rate of $300-600 per night, The Greenbriar also features an underground bunker, the size of a small city, that was built during the Cold War to house the US Congress in the event of nuclear war.

   Here is nother revelation, Bush’s Treasury Secretary, John W. Snow, was formerly the chief executive officer of CSX, which sold its container handling division to Dubai Port World in 2004. But GOP connections to DPW aren’t the only reason the ports deal is suspect. The Bush Clan is tightly plugged in to the UAE through several outlets, not least of which is the Carlyle Group, the planetary investment company long known for its relationship to both presidents Bush and former Secretary of State James Baker. Both presidents have worked for the group, and it recently hauled in a cash infusion of $100 million from the state-owned Dubai Investment Corporation.
