A summary of articles on the Oil for Food Scandal

A draft congressional report has called for the investigation of Canadian Maurice Strong’s role in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program.

Page 35 of the 54-page report, written by Republicans on a House International Relations subcommittee states: "Maurice Strong should be examined for his role in the OFFP."

Strong is a long-time advisor to both UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and to Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.

"Although there is circumstantial evidence that [Canada's] Maurice Strong was in a position to know that the money he received from [Tongsun] Park came from Iraq," Paul Volcker’s Independent Inquiry into the United Nation's Oil-for-Food program "has not found any direct evidence that Mr. Strong knew the money was from Iraq."

Is it mere coincidence that Paul Volcker, former chairman, board of governors of the U.S. Federal Reserves System and Maurice Strong, special adviser to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, hold the same opinion about an "imminent economic crisis" for the U.S.A.?

Both gentlemen are not only giants in the high world of finance, both enjoy enormous clout in global affairs of the day.

Wilmington, N.C. The long known Canadian angle in the UN oil for food scandal will never come under the microscope. That's as far as the Liberal Party of Canada is concerned.

The minority-status Liberals, who managed to squeak by a non-confidence vote threatened by the Official Opposition, and now on the proverbial role, seem more than willing to protect Canadian friends.

The former chairman of the Prime Minister Paul Martin-owned company that accepted $1 million from Saddam Hussein, worked with Martin at the Paul Desmarais-owned Power Corporation.

William Turner was chairman of Cordex Petroleums Inc., an oil and gas exploration and production company based in Alberta with an American subsidiary in Denver, Colo.

The Canadian company that Saddam Hussein invested a million dollars in belonged to the Prime Minister of Canada, canadafreepress.com has discovered.

Cordex Petroleum Inc., launched with Saddam’s million by Prime Minister Paul Martin’s mentor Maurice Strong’s son Fred Strong, is listed among Martin’s assets to the Federal Ethics committee on November 4, 2003.

Kofi Annan’s special envoy to Korea Maurice Strong admits he knows "Koreagate Man" Tongsun Park and even that Park invested in an "energy company" with which he was associated in 1997--but flatly denies any involvement in the scandal-ridden UN oil-for-food program.
