The Oil-for-Food Scandal – the Canadian Connection

Charles R. Smith
Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2005

"Its all about the oil" was the chant issued by a vast army of
protesters around the world.

Yes, it may have been "all about the oil" – but it didn't involve
Americans, who did not own any of the oil in Iraq, but rather a horde of
rich global fat cats who wanted to make millions in a so-called U.N.
humanitarian program.

Story Continues Below

One of those who made out like a bandit is a rich Canadian whose bank
made millions and whose Paris-based holding companies include the
originally French-Belgian oil company TotalFina Elf, which cut lucrative
deals with Saddam's Iraq and is currently operating in war-torn Sudan.

Various congressional committees have launched hearings into what has
been described as the biggest corruption scandal in history. Not
surprisingly, U.N. officials have refused to cooperate with the
congressional investigations.

The investigations have turned up a number of damning facts that point
directly to the incompetence at best, complicity at worst of the most
senior U.N. officials and those involved.

It is now well known, for example, that U.N. Secretary-General Kofi
Annan's own son was getting big cash payments from a Swiss firm that
profited from the program, in return for his "expert" opinions and
advice. Recently published evidence shows that Annan's son was paraded
as a high-level contact within the U.N.

The congressional investigations have surfaced preliminary accounting
figures that show that Saddam Hussein likely siphoned off as much as $15
billion, almost a quarter of the entire funds transferred.

While the anti-U.S. critics wailed at the impact of the embargo on the
Iraqi people, their attention miraculously centered on the nation that
liberated the victims of Saddam's original aggressions – and not on the
Thug in Chief or his numerous continental 'partners'.

Free to "govern," Saddam did so with a vengeance, and the rest, as they
say, is history – which, thankfully, Congress is now exposing after the
U.S. military put an "Out of Business" sign on Baghdad.

Hussein was not alone in his corruption, and several others involved in
the money flow, including government firms and politicians in Europe,
are now nervously following the investigations while checking out
one-way flights to Paraguay.

BNP Paribas

Top among these is the European-based BNP Paribas bank, which the U.N.
chose to administer the program and which reportedly received nearly $1
billion for its efforts. Congressional investigators reviewing the
bank's actions have discovered broken rules, missing documents and
improper transfers by BNP Paribas, which up until now has been assumed
to be a French bank.

In fact, BNP Paribas is actually controlled by Power Corporation, an
appropriately named Canadian company that has a shocking track record of
'business' relationships with the worst gangsters and tyrannical regimes
in the world.

BNP Paribas also has one other distinguishing feature: a direct
corporate and familial relationship with the persons running the
government of Canada for the last 20 years.

The truth about BNP Paribas and Power Corp. sheds a new light on
Canada's seemingly bizarre anti-American foreign policy in the Middle
East, in China and elsewhere.

BNP Paribas bank is part of a holding company, Pargesa Holding, which is
jointly owned and controlled by the Frère and Desmarais families. Paul
Desmarais Sr. is the chairman of the group, while Albert Frère is the
vice-chairman. Gerald Frère, Albert's son, is one of three general
managers who oversee day-to-day operations, and Paul Desmarais Jr. is
also an officer.

Pargesa, and thus Power Corporation and the Canadian Desmarais family,
holds a controlling significant stake in TotalFina Elf, the
Belgian-French petroleum multinational corporation formed from the
merger of Total and Petrofina.

BNP Paribas and TotalFina may have blood-stained corporate histories,
but the intimate and intricate connections of Power Corp. to Canada's
governing elite raise the truly disturbing questions.

Power Corporation CEO Andre Desmarais is the son-in-law of former Prime
Minister Jean Chretien, who went out of his way to oppose U.S.
intervention in Iraq, where the family's business interests with the
Saddam regime would be jeopardized.

Current Canadian PM Paul Martin is a former Power Corporation employee
who made his fortune when he bought Canada Steamship Lines from Power
Corp. aided by loans from Power Corp. To this day both CSL and Power are
reported to have mutual equity interests in each other.

The most senior foreign affairs/international trade adviser to current
Canadian PM Paul Martin is Maurice Strong, former CEO of Power Corp. and
a longtime U.N. and Kofi Annan adviser.

TotalFina Elf

So, who is TotalFina Elf? Just an oil company that cut a deal with
Saddam to develop and exploit the Majnoon and Nahr Umar oil fields in
southern Iraq. These properties are estimated to contain as much as 25
percent of the country's oil reserves.

With Saddam under arrest, the Canadian-controlled company has expanded
its "client base" and now has a deal with the murderous Sudanese regime
to quietly extract its oil and funnel profits back to Khartoum for its
infamous social programs.

Disgusted by the lethargic pace and willful blindness of the U.N.-led
investigation of itself headed up by Paul Volcker, the U.S. Congress
opened its own investigation. Committee investigators found that eight
government agencies notified BNP Paribas about "deficiencies" in
handling money in the U.N. program.

No wonder Congress smelled a rat when it watched the deliberately
ineffectual U.N. 'review' of the 'Food-for-Oil' program. Thankfully, it
followed up on that and launched its own investigations which, if
allowed to follow their natural course, will inevitably expose fraud,
corruption, sleaze, theft, incompetence and, perhaps in the long run
most significantly, the corrupt political and personal motivations of
supposedly friendly governments, including Canada, in this entire mess.

For our Canadian friends and supposed partners, we are left with the
disturbing question: Who's really in charge and whose interests are they
really serving?

De toutes façon, ces allégations devraient se dissiper rapidement,
maintenant qu'ils ont découvert que des Américains aussi ont profité du
programme. Partout où il y a des hommes, il y a de l'hommerie. Il y en aura
toujours pour s'en mettre plus dans les poches et ce dans toutes les
sociétés. Ça a aidé Bush à se faire ré-élire par contre.

Too bad qu'il a raison.
Le ACLU est une petite bande de socialistes de la gauche qui poursuivent un
agenda.

Une chose qui demontre a quel point le ACLU n'a aucun respect pour les
principes de base des Etats est leur interpretation de 2ieme Amendment.
Une interpretation qui va completement a l'encentre de la jurisprudence de
200+ ans.
