NatWest Three

deserve the ball and chain treatment for their trans Atlantic collusion and involvement in the criminal sacking of Enron Corporation in 2002. These three British bankers ; Giles Darby , David Bermingham , and Gary Mulgrew just now pleaded out to guilty for one count of wire fraud apiece , instead of the seven counts per they stood accused of, in Federal Court in Houston , Texas. They faced 35 years per man at seven counts , and it looks like they will skate with just 37 months per. This is a travesty of our justice system , and it is time to set a stern example to those not citizens of this country just what dire consequences white collar crime committed against citizens of the United States will hold! These three criminals are English citizens , and in the year 2002 conspired with former Enron chief financial officer Andrew S. Fastow , who is now serving six years in Oakdale Louisiana for his part in the Enron swindle. These three Brit Bankers flipped a phony Enron shell company for a quick 7.3 million dollar personal profit with the assistance of Mister Fastow. The comparison between bankers and confidence men is a long standing reality. These three pinstripe gangsters , all the age of forty five years , deserve a diet of bread and water and the hard labor that a chain gang provides for their crime on our soil. Ultimately the Enron rank and file workers and stockholders suffered economic hardships , lost jobs , and terrible consequences from the criminal activity of these three banksters. Let the punishment fit the crime. The NatWest Three harmed a multitude of good American citizens by there criminal actions , let them pay a stiff price for their greed! Send your letters to the Federal Court in Houston , Texas expressing your desire to see these limeys get their due! While we are at the subject of banksters in America , do not forget that the largest lobby in Washington, D.C. belongs to the banking industry. Yes , the same banking industry whose greed plays a major role in the current loan business resulting in both the credit meltdown , and housing foreclosure travesties that curse American economy today. Time has come to scrap out k street , and dole out a severe policy curtailing the mixing of bank bribes to our elected politicians for the purpose of influencing our laws and increasing their profits.Let these three pay mightily for the crimes they have committed! ................. We honor the kind request of Matthew Lewis who has asked us to post via this site the notice for the First meeting of the GK Chesterton Club in Cleveland's first meeting on December 2 , 2007 at 2:00 p.m in the John Carroll University Library . I will be unable to attend due to a previous appointment , though I do wish this GKC Club the best of luck and recommend your attendance!............... This is it for November musings , so lets leave it were we began on the sunny side of the street. In this case the street is Payne Avenue just East of downtown Cleveland and the attractions to this most international of all Cleveland neighborhoods. Plenty of Oriental flavors here . Today I will recommend those at the intersection of East 37Th street and Payne. Great unique sweet and savory buns and festive bubble teas and other treats daily at the Koko Bakery. No shnecken , but do not miss the barbecued pork bun , or the raisin filled sweet " Mexican Bun". Most of these treats are under one dollar per , and serve as a great treat after having lunch at the Garden Cafe next door. The Garden Cafe is your standard Mom and Pop Oriental Restaurant , with nice box lunches and a full Oriental menu towards dinner time. Clean , freshly prepared , and generous servings the rule here! Across the street is the Seoul Hot Pot Restaurant , a Korean establishment that gives you the feel of sitting in the kitchen of a friends home. Cleveland has only a handful of Korean Restaurants and the SHP is in a converted pizza parlor , which still bears the interior signage of the previous red sauce regimen. Do not be put off by the lack of ambiance. This food is real , the service is a bit slow but steady, and certainly always worth the wait................. Book selling Time! G.K. Chesterton remains a unique and large literary and Religious figure of the first half of the Twentieth Century. A large man in girth as well, 6'4' , 290 plus pounds , and perhaps is best known today for his great Father Brown mysteries. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a prolific writer of diverse scope , eighty plus books published, and the kindest compliment that I can pay him is that his works remain challenging and refreshing to this day. Let us not forget salable as well! John Carroll University in it's wisdom has a fine private collection of Chesterton materials in it's special collections at Graselli Library. Attend the December 2ND meeting and enjoy a tour of this important and unique collection . We offer his 1932 volume of COLLECTED POETRY for your enjoyment.......
