I thought I'd enlighten you with a copy of today's leader from www.eb.dk

DANMARK er rodet ind i den sex- og korruptionsskandale, der udvikler sig omkring Verdensbankens direktør, Paul Wolfowitz.
12 mio. skattekroner er strandet i en international fond med det løfterige navn Foundation for the Future, som har det hæderværdige formål at ’støtte uafhængige civilsamfunds- og demokratiseringsprojekter’ i Mellemøsten og Nordafrika.
Reelt er der tale om et spøgelseskontor, der ikke har udbetalt en krone siden oprettelsen i 2005, ikke har nogen telefon, ingen officiel adresse, og som kun har holdt fire møder.
FORETAGENDET styres af Paul Wolfowitz’ kæreste, den tunesisk-fødte Shaha Riza, der også er den eneste ansatte på kontoret.
Hun er en central skikkelse i hele oprøret mod Wolfowitz. Hun var ansat i Verdensbanken, indtil han blev direktør. Hun blev vurderet til at være for tæt på sin øverste chef og blev derfor overført til det amerikanske udenrigsministerium som ’ekstern konsulent’.
Verdensbanken betaler stadig hendes løn, og som kompensation for overførslen skaffede Wolfowitz hende en lønforhøjelse på 50 procent, så hun nu tjener 1,3 mio. kr. næsten skattefrit - væsentligt mere end USA’s udenrigsminister, Condoleezza Rice.
DENNE MANØVRE har bragt Wolfowitz i voldsomt stormvejr. 42 chefer i Verdensbanken har krævet hans afgang, og bestyrelsen undersøger lige nu, om han brød Verdensbankens regler ved at kræve så enorm en lønforhøjelse til sin kæreste.
Man kan ikke sige, Wolfowitz’ disposition er særlig heldig, når han netop har erklæret krig mod international korruption og nepotisme.
I forvejen var han ikke noget populært valg. Som USA’s viceforsvarsminister var han en af chef-arkitekterne bag Irak-krigen og derfor en hadeskikkelse i hele den arabiske verden.
TRODS SIN høje løn bliver Shaha Riza tilsyneladende ikke overbebyrdet med arbejde i det amerikanske udenrigsministerium.
Verdensbanken er berygtet for sin ineffektivitet og langsommelige sagsbehandling, egenskaber, som direktørens kæreste åbenbart har taget med sig i sit nye job.
MAN SKULLE tro, at udenrigsminister Per Stig Møller (K) ville slå i bordet og kræve svar på, hvordan spøgelseskontoret i Washington D.C. egentlig havde tænkt sig at bruge de 12 mio. kr., som han betalte til foretagendet under et udenrigs- og finansministermøde i Bahrain i 2005.
Men udenrigsministeren nægter at udtale sig, skønt Danmark er en af de større bidragydere.
Eneste melding fra den danske regering omkring hele Verdensbank-skandalen har været et spagfærdigt pip fra udviklingsminister Ulla Tørnæs (V) om, at hun forholder sig kritisk til Wolfowitz.
DET ER ganske enkelt for tyndt. Skatteyderne har krav på at vide, hvad deres 12 mio. kr. bliver brugt til. Det er dobbelt som meget, som Storbritannien giver.
Og den danske regering må i klar tale meddele omverdenen, hvad den mener om, at en korrupt mand leder Verdensbanken, som vi har et vidtstrakt samarbejde med.

In case you haven't got your dictionary at hand I have made a rushed attempt to translate it:

Denmark is mixed up in the evolving sex and corruption scandal that surrounds the world bank president Paul Wolfowitz
12 million (DKR) of tax payer's money has ended up in an international fund with the promising name Foundation for the Future that serves the honourable purpose of supporting "independent democracy-facilitating initiatives" in the Middle east and North Africa.
In reality it's a ghost office which hasn't paid a dime since it's creation in 2005, hasn't got a phone installed, hasn't got an official address, and which has only hosted 4 meetings. It is managed by Paul Wolfowitz’ girlfriend, tunisian Shaha Riza who happens to be the only employee.
She is a pivotal character in the revolt against Wolfowitz. She was employed in the world bank, till he became president. She was found to be too closely associated with her boss and was thus transfered to the Americian ministry of foreign affairs.
The world bank is still paying her salary and to compensate for her transfer she was granted a 50% raise by Wolfowitz.
This means she makes 1,3 million DKR almost tax-free which is more than Condoleezza Rice.
This move has caused Wolfowitz violent opposition. 42 of the world bank bosses have demanded his exit and it is currently being investigated if any rules were broken.
One can hardly say Wolfowitz is in a fortunate place as he has recently declared war on international corruption and nepotism.
From the start he was an unpopular choice as president due to his former position as vice secretary of defense and main architect of the Iraq war which has made him a much hated figure in the muslim world.
In spite of her high pay Shaha Riza is apparently not troubled by the work load in the ministry of foreign affairs.
The world bank is famous for its inefficiency and slow hearings, qualities, ms Riza apparently brought with her to the new job.
One would think that secretary of foreign affairs Per Stig Møller would be thumping the table and demanding answers to how the "ghost office" in Washington had planned to spend the 12 million DKR which he paid the office during a meeting in Bahrain in 2005.
But the secretary refuses to comment despite the fact that Denmark is one of the major contributors.
The only word from the Danish government in relation to the entire scandal comes from secretary of development [low ranking] Ulla Tørnæs who meekly chirps that she remains critical of Wolfowitz.
THIS IS way too little. The tax payers have the right to know what their money has been spent on. We've paid twice as much as the UK.
The DK government must state its opinion on the fact that a corrupt man is president of the world bank with which we have close relations.
The best solution would be the exit of Wolfowitz even though this might not be popular among his White House buddies.

No, my dad moved to Canada before I was born, so I grew up and have stayed here. My dad always gave me a good education about his homeland and our family growing up. He'd never let me spell Danmark or Kobenhavn the English way.

He'd never let me spell Danmark or Kobenhavn the English way. Thats good :) We should care more about our old Danish language. Lots of words have been lots to the influence of the american / english language.
On the 25th, I was very exited to watch the Danish news about this subject. Ive read the artikel on www.eb.dk that morning, and ofcourse on this thread. But nothing ever was mentioned that day in denmark, about this subject...
Not in the written medias, the radio nor the the Television .. Nothing at all .. Like they dont want to "hush" down this subject. The fact that 12mill + more each year prob. has been lost to corruption, is news worth spreading to the Danish population. But its been "hushed" down it seems, or maybe the reporters in Denmark dont feel that its news worth reporting ? I just dont believe that.

PS! Tho I live in Denmark, Ive learnt to spell it the english way when im writing your language. Praise the danish hotdog and rødgrød med fløde !

1) Hotdogs??!! do you know what they are made of?

2) I personally feel there's a difference between the Denmark/Danmark spelling and the København/Copenhagen/(Kopenhagen in german) as the latter obscures the name completely.

3) I very much agree that our language has been much troubled by ignorant people's use of english words in the common language where they aren't needed and simply don't belong.

4) about eb.dk I'd say it's usually a terrible sex/celebrity/scandal oriented paper but because they are less "politically correct" they sometimes are a bit closer to the truth. In fact I felt happy that in the VT shooting they put focus on the 2h delay but they too lost their steam shortly afterwards.
By the way what do you guys think of Tøger Seidenfadens involvement in the Bilderberg?

My husband says they're made of pigs' assholes. :eek: :p :p :p :D

We were in Shopen-hamn (har har) in December. The Danes are great! So much friendlier that the shyer Swedes, and EVERYONE spoke fluent English. I was very impressed.

Oh, and the Carlsberg was so yum! :o

Yeah, real Carlsberg is great. Unfortunately in North America they only sell the stuff that's brewed over here. Not even close to the same quality.

There's an interesting history behind the hot dog. Invented in Canada by the Metis(half european, half native). Originally, when a buffalo or moose was killed, they would take all the meaty parts that you could make into a steak, and stuff it into the intestines, tie it off in sections, and then cook that. Kinda like a Canadian Haggis.

Right! That's what he said also. I didn't need much convincing. Very yum beer.

Anyway, not going to highjack the thread any further 'cos then I might get a spanking....:eek:

"The JEWS who Run Bush and the USA"

"AMERICA'S RULERS - Are They All Jews? Is this like the Jewish Administration of Hitler's Germany?"
THE JEWS IN George II's CABINET

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/images/bushflag.jpg

Who runs Bush & the USA?

Partial list of Jews in the Bush Adminstration:
(March 26, 2003)


Richard Perle
One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktanks, the AEI. Perle is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul Wolfowitz
Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel. Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish thinktank, JINSA. Wolfowitz is the number two leader within the administration behind this Iraq war mongering.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Douglas Feith
Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine. Feith also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward Luttwak
Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry Kissinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger's evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House). Kissinger likely had a part in the Watergate crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), Installing Chilean mass murdering dictator Pinochet, Operation Condor's mass killings in South America, and more recently served as Serbia's Ex-Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocates going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S. Unfortunately, President Bush nominated Kissinger as chairman of the September 11 investigating commission. It's like picking a bank robber to investigate a fraud scandal.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dov Zakheim
Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Department of Defense. He is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. Zakheim attended attended Jew’s College in London and became an ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New York's Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenneth Adelman
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor, who supports going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. Through his hatred or stupidity, he actually called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs by definition are Semites.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Lewis Libby
Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff. The chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iraq. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Marc Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his last days as president.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robert Satloff
U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elliott Abrams
National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

I was surprised when I saw that Denmark along with the UK had people in the top of the hierachy of the 300, or the top of the elite, which are pushing on the NWO as I have understood it. I dont remember where I found it anymore, oh yes, it was the Shapeshifter something series. Alot of good info, with a few lies mixed into it :)

That makes it easier to research it while living in Denmark I guess. Yes, I spell it Denmark. I like my country, but I just like people understanding what I write as well. If Germany said Deutchland instead every time, I bet a few people would be clueless as well.

But looking at how the danish society is and how it is evolving, it seems we are test subjects of how easy it is to control people who are given actual free will. What methods would have to be used? How far can we go, with the peoples support? Can it be done the same way in other countries?

When it comes to IT and security measures, Denmark is very quick at implementing it. We are one of the countries with the highest usage of biometrics.

What really amazes me is that people most likely wouldnt believe Denmark to be corrupt in anyway. We are one of the top most do good funding countries in the world. Look at how we could handled the Mohammed drawings at a point, a president speaks officially out against Denmark, and then we say have it your way, then you wont get our support in the plan of funding your country with millions of donation money. How much power does it give Denmark to spend so much of its GDP on funding countries in need, and funding in general?
