Goldman Sachs is invested in war, slaughterhouses, deforestation. Now Bush wants its CEO to be the Treasury Secretary.

Goldman Sachs, major investor in slaughterhouse and
meat companies,
dominates the US government. Henry Paulsen, CEO of
Goldman Sachs, has now been nominated to be the
Secretary of the Treasury Goldman Sachs
is the biggest investor in Tyson's, the world's
biggest butcher of pigs
and cows Pensioners are captive investors in Tyson's
as well through CALPERS etc. As chairman of the board
of Nature Conservancy he has steered NC into allowing
slaughterhouse bound animals on its 'wilderness'
tracts. The most devastating of environmental impacts
is caused by the animal agriculture industry. While
Paulsen is touted as an environmentalist,
nothing is worse for the environment than the
deforestation, flood
and famine associated with enslaved cattle.
This week Goldman Sachs along with Maurice Greenberg's
AIG bid to control the Canadian energy market by
attempting to take Kinder Morgan's 43,000 miles of
pipelines private, with a 13.8 billion dollar bid.
Private equity firms
have dealings hidden from the public. Many Americans
are
calling for the nationalization of American pipelines
and energy
and utility companies, so important to national
security.

War profiteering has been privatized in many cases as
well. One
example is the Carlyle Group, cofounded by David
Rubenstein,
which has attracted the private investment money of
George H W
Bush, former UK PM John Major, and others. These men
profiteered from
the sale of obsolete howitzers to the military. Gerald
Ford rose
to billionaire status through the help of Sanford
Weill of Citibank.
Republican presidents whose ascendancy to power has
been
fraudulent, have descended from power with stolen
monies.


Jon Corzine, governor of pharmaceutically dominated
NJ, is a former CEO of Goldman Sachs. Josh Bolten, new
White House Chief of Staff, and Robert Rubin, former
cabinet member who arranged the destabilization of Russia
plunging millions into poverty are also from Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs is
also a major promoter of the war in Iraq and has many
ties to Israeli capital. Israeli capital is also
illegally
controlling ABC Disney through an extra-US holding
company deceptively
called "Shamrock."
While NPR twice reported the Bush nomination as if it
were a done deal, it is not.

US senators can turn down the nomination.
