Géorgie : Bush généreux donateur de plus de 5 milliards

(12 commentaires)

1. sur les 118 000 déplacés comptabilisés par le HCR.
   – environ 35000 ossètes
   – environ 55000 georgiens de Gori dont 95% ont depuis retrouvé leur logement
   – les habitants de Gori et autres petites villes qui ont pu revenir pareillement
   Conclusion: le nombre actuel de réfugiés est vraisemblablement de l’ordre de 10 000. Le montant de l’aide est donc totalement disproportionné, un demi million de dollar par personne déplécée.
   On peut légitimement se poser la question de la destination réelle (réarmement?) de ces 5 milliards de $ offerts par le Fond américain d’urgence d’assistance aux réfugiés.

2. Bonjour,
   Je crois malheureusement que ce soit une hypothèse crédible! George W Bush a été élu grâce à la peur….Mc Cain est passée en tête d’un sondage la semaine dernière, pour la première fois depuis le début de la campagne.
   Mais si c’est le cas…très mauvaise pour la Russie et le monde entier.
   Obama est plus réflechit: il avait dit par exemple qu’il fallait être très prudent sur les causes du conflit géorgien lorsqu’il a éclaté avant d’être obligé de s’aligner sur la position de Mc Cain qques jours + tard.
   Pour rappel Mc Cain est pour l’envoi de soldat de l’OTAN dans ce conflit et la France fait partie de l’OTAN

   Encore une fois les petroliers texans peuvent être derrière les elections américaines via leur financement.
   Comme pour Bush, ils feront élir celui qui defendra leur interet
   via notamment Nabucco ou en tout cas contre le pouvoir russe sur le transit du gaz

   Oilman greases skids for McCain campaign
   Among the donors from John B. Hess’ company are an office manager and her husband, who pony up $57,000.
   August 5, 2008
   On June 10, John B. Hess, a top executive at ** the oil company with his family name *** , summoned friends to the 21 Club, a former speakeasy in Manhattan, and delivered $285,000 to John McCain and the Republican National Committee.
   ***A week later, McCain traveled to Texas and announced his support for offshore oil drilling.****
   Hess Corp. is an East Coast gasoline retailer with major refining and exploration operations, some of which happen to be offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
   Hess was one of half a dozen hosts who tapped friends for the maximum $28,500 donation to the GOP. Others included investor Henry Kravis and hedge fund mogul Paul E. Singer.
   McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said there was no link between the money and McCain’s stand. « Mr. Hess was fundraising before Sen. McCain made the announcement, » he said.
   Most Hess donors were company attorneys, vice presidents or, like John Hess, board members. But one, Alice Rocchio, listed her job as office manager, and she gave $28,500, as did her husband, Amtrak foreman Pasquale Rocchio.
   The information emerged in a Campaign Money Watch report last week, followed by an item Monday on Talking Points Memo, which wondered how they could afford to give $57,000 to a political campaign. Alice Rocchio told TPM that McCain was her favorite candidate and the money was the Rocchios’ to give.
   The Rocchios also gave $4,600 in February, when Hess employees — one of whom listed his occupation as « driver » — delivered $23,000 to McCain. The couple have not given to any other federal campaign for at least the last decade, according to Federal Election Commission records.
   But records suggest that the Rocchios are not without resources. The couple listed an address in Flushing, N.Y., and also have an Arizona home.

6. Multiple Oil Company Executives Gave Huge Contributions To Electing McCain Just Days After Offshore Drilling Reversal
   By Greg Sargent and Eric Kleefeld – August 4, 2008, 12:47PM
   Ten senior Hess Corporation executives and/or members of the Hess family each gave $28,500 to the joint RNC-McCain fundraising committee, just days after McCain reversed himself to favor offshore drilling, according to Federal Election Commission reports.
   Nine of these contributions, seven from Hess executives and two from members of the Hess family, came on the same day, June 24th, the records show. The total collected in the wake of McCain’s reversal for the fund, called McCain Victory 2008, from Hess execs and family is $285,000.
   We were alerted to the contributions by Campaign Money Watch, a non-partisan group that tracks campaign contributions. The contributions were given a quick mention deep in a report the group issued late last week, but with no names or other details provided. The Hess contributions are clearly newsworthy on their own.
   The Washington Post reported last week that campaign contributions from oil industry execs rose in a big way in the last half of June, after McCain drew a huge amount of attention by reversing his opposition on June 16th to the federal ban on offshore drilling.
   These Hess contributions, however, hadn’t been reported until now, and they will give more ammo to those arguing that McCain is being rewarded by campaign contributions in exchange for pro-industry positions. Here’s a table detailing the contributions:
   J. Barclay Collins Hess Corp. Attorney $28,500 19-Jun
   John B. Hess Hess Corp. Executive $28,500 24-Jun
   Susan K. Hess Homemaker Homemaker $28,500 24-Jun
   Norma W. Hess Retired Retired $28,500 24-Jun
   John J. O’Connor Hess Corp. Executive $28,500 24-Jun
   Lawrence Ornstein Hess Corp. Senior VP $28,500 24-Jun
   John Reilly Hess Corp. Executive $28,500 24-Jun
   Alice Rocchio Hess Corp. Office Manager $28,500 24-Jun
   John Scelfo Hess Corp. Senior VP of Finance $28,500 24-Jun
   F. Borden Walker Hess Corp. Businessman $28,500 24-Jun
   Norma W. Hess is the widow of oil magnate and company founder Leon Hess, and Susan K. Hess is the wife of Hess chairman and CEO John Hess.
   Neither a spokesperson for Hess nor the McCain campaign immediately responded to requests for comment. More on this in a bit.
   Late Update: It turns out that $28,500 is the maximum that can be given to the RNC, but because this particular victory fund collects money via various channels, an individual donor can actually give more than that to it. I’ve edited out « maximum » from the headline. Obviously this doesn’t change the story in any way.
   Late Late Update: A Hess office manager and her husband, an Amtrak worker, each chipped in $28,000 apiece, too.
   Late Late Late Update: Turns out that the office manager and her Amtrak husband rent their home in Flushing, Queens.
   Still Later Update: It’s likely that the Amtrak worker makes considerably less than $100,000 a year.
