Dear Buzz,

Remember these two names: John Snow and David Sanborn. Then remember these three companies: Carlyle Group, CSX, and Dubai Ports World.

snip...

David Sanborn was an executive with CSX and, then, a senior Dubai Ports World executive whom Bush appointed last month to be the new administrator of the Maritime Administration of the Transportation Department. Sanborn worked as Dubai Ports World's director of operations for Europe and Latin America.

snip....

John Snow was formerly CEO of CSX ... David Sanborn was an executive with CSX/Sea-Land division.

Then SANBORN left to become a director with Dubai Ports World and brokered a deal for Dubai Ports World to purchase the South American and Asia port operations from CSX. Now -- just two weeks ago -- Sanborn is introduced as the new Assistant Secretary of Transportation -- Marine Administration.

Then the quasi-secret "Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States" (CFIUS), which is chaired by John Snow, makes this ruling.>>

snip....

And I would bet that the law firm Baker Botts, of which James A. Baker III is a major partner, had a hand in this. James A. Baker III is also affiliated with the CARLYLE Group.

Why do we care about the Carlyle Group? I'll answer that by telling you who some of the investors are? Among the firm's multi-million-dollar investors were

-- members of the family of Osama bin Laden
-- George Bush Sr
-- former British prime minister John Major
-- Frank Carlucci - Ronald Reagan's defense secretary
-- James A. Baker III

2. It's like something out of a James Bond movie.

Do they own any islands where they have secret underground facilities. Are they plotting to take over the world?

3. Are they plotting to take over the world?

I'd have to say yes. And they're doing a pretty good job of it too.

4. No - it's the super plutocracy of Bush's super rich friends

Get strawberries--

My heritage is Russian - and the pre=Revolution Russian urban proles had a joke:

Old Geezer 1: Have some strawberries
Old geezer 2: I don't like strawberries
Old Geezer 1: I said "Have some strawberries"
Old geezer 2: I said "I don't like strawberries"
Old Geezer 1: Be a good guest and have some strawberries
Old geezer 2: I said that I don't like strawberries
Old Geezer 1: When the revolution comes, you'll like strawberries with sweet cream

5. But there's more, more, more!

Carlyle owns about 31% of the British-founded company, QinetiQ. What does QinetiQ do? Security, including transportation security--read that ports. They also do defense work and used to have a big portion of their webpage devoted to "United States". That got scrubbed. I am waiting for them to join the gravy train--maybe a foot behind Halliburton, but just maybe their refined heritage will put them at the head of the line. Q has a Carlyle guy on its Bd. of Dirs. He had something to do with the Cadbury-Schweppes deal.

7. This is another grounds for impeachment:

"Then SANBORN left to become a director with Dubai Ports World and brokered a deal for Dubai Ports World to purchase the South American and Asia port operations from CSX. Now -- just two weeks ago -- Sanborn is introduced as the new Assistant Secretary of Transportation" -- Marine Administration.

8. Its such blatant corruption.
