Does it take a conspiracy theorist to recognize the Enron / Gray Davis tie
Today CNN announces that Enron plotted to shut down power plants during the rolling black outs in California.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/03/enron.tapes/index.html

But CNN also reported that one of the core reasons for Davis's recall vote was the rolling blackouts.

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/06/energy.crisis/

and it's no hidden secret that the Enron execs gave tons of money to the republicans... The same people who used the rolling blackouts against Davis as reason not to keep Gov Davis.

They used this claim successfully.

Today there's suprisingly no rolling blackouts.

In my opinion.. It doesn't take much to put 2 and 2 together here.

2. And don't forget that Arnold met with those energy boys before
the election. I have no doubt that blue California was in Red Texas's cross hairs all along. They were not only going to siphon all that money from a Democratic state, but they were going to blame the failures on the Democrats and take it over.

You stop and think about what Delay's buddies did to the Indians over the gambling casinos, playing both sides, and you see that we are being attacked by crooks that are worse than the mafia, worse than terrorists. Conspiracy to intentionally destabilize a state's economy should be viewed as a hostile, criminal act.
