the U.S. is described below in a post received from

Now that the Dubai Ports deal is apparently down the drain because of irate
protests from the public and Congress, the United Arab Emirates company is
taking a new tack.
The San Francisco Examiner recently carried a column by P.J. Corkery that told
how the UAE ,through its government-controlled Dubai Investment Group, is
trying to buy the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain after failing to acquire the
Albertson's grocery chain.
Corkery outlined who is the front man in this deal, and who is doing the
lobbying and buying for Dubai. This is what he wrote: "The Yank partner of the
Dubai Investment Group is quite a well-known name. He is a big-time Democratic
contributor and grocery store magnate, Ron Burkle of Beverly Hills. Burkle's
bidding entity is called the Yucaipa Cos.
"Yucaipa's chief marketing guy is Bill Clinton. Burkle pays Clinton $10 million
a year for his services-which are mainly to drum up money in Dubai. Bill flies
to Dubai so often on Burkle's 757 that he calls it "Air Ron." Clinton, of
course, has lately been defending the Dubai Ports deal, while his wife opposes
it. Oh, and also on the Yucaipa Cos board is the Rev. Jesse Jackson."
Burkle's Democratic connections run deep, Corkery said, and include doing
business with CALPERS, that's the huge California public employees pension
fund. He also has ties to: former Vice President Al Gore and his new media
network; California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides; and the notorious
political figure and former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, now a host on
the Air America Radio network, who once worked for Burkle.
Most are not surprised all the corruption in national politics is not just on
the Republican side. Many decry the one big club, sometimes known as the
corporate world or the one big New World Order house. Check any major present
or former politician's Wall Street connections, and check the boards of
directors of major corporations. The facts are
