--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- More significantly, Li Kai-shing has also been implicated in the narcotics traffic. Of interest too, one executive of Global,Crossing that I know of has a background that sounds suspiciously CIA-ish. Li Kai-shing controls port facilities around the world, including major ones in the United Kingdom and, I believe, also in Thailand or Burma...Do two and two make four? ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Webfairy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 3:24 AM Subject: [CIA-DRUGS] [Fwd: who has info on Global Crossing or Gary Winnick?] > -------- Original Message -------- > From: cosmicdot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [corporatesleuth] who has info on Global Crossing or Gary Winnick? > > > > > Li Ka-shing: New Ruler of the Information Superhighway > > Global Crossing, Enron's evil twin, is about to be "rescued" by a > Chinese billionaire with ties to the People's Liberation Army. > Why not?
