Special Reports Last Updated: Sep 16th, 2008 - 01:14:40 Bush family cleaning up on transfer of public lands to private hands By Wayne Madsen Online Journal Contributing Writer Sep 16, 2008, 00:26 (WMR) -- WMR has learned from a senior Democratic congressional source that the Bush family, most notably former President George H.

The revelations represent the first evidence that the elder Bush has benefited from the transfer of public lands to private hands in a giant scheme to defraud federal and state governments, as well as the American taxpayers and Native Americans. The land-grabbing scheme primarily involves the transfer of federal lands, including Native American lands and national forest system lands, in the Rocky Mountain West, state lands in Texas, and both federal and state lands in California, Mississippi, and Florida to private entities. The scheme is also at the center of the scandal surrounding jailed GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff who conspired to privatize federal lands and assets around the country to benefit his corporate clients. more... http://www.prisonplanet.com/bush-family-cleaning-up-on-transfer-of-public-lands-to-private-hands.html http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3748.shtml Edited by mynameis, Sep 16 2008, 09:41 AM.
