Local radio Debate on CWB barley!

[wilagro]

parsley: I am in complete agreement with your questioning of the Machej/CWB dealings. What I am saying is "Don't presume guilt" before there is credible evidence of same.

Any individual or group of individuals dealing with a government agency has a right to have honest people running things. I would urge you to check out Machej (Machey), but leave out the innuendo, please.

wilagrow,

1. On the 17 of January 2007, EIR intelligence magazine (look it up, they seem to hate British) had an interview with Ian McCreary, farmer-elected CWB Director.


EIR: Now, when I looked at the Board of Directors of ADM, I found Brian Mulroney on the Board, which I thought was quite interesting, considering also that he is the chairman of Quebecor, which owns a number of papers out west, which tend to be anti-Wheat Board, in terms of the perspective they were giving. In fact, several of these newspapers were publishing people from the National Citizens Coalition, which is Steven Harper’s old think tank –



McCreary: Yes.



EIR: And they were characterizing the CWB as the “Evil Empire” and trying to make the case that the CWB reduces farmers to second class citizens. Now, at the same time, I found another group which is called Glacier Ventures International, which controls the Western Producer and, actually, seems to control all major publications that are directed toward the agricultural community –



McCreary: With the exception of Farmers’ Independent Weekly.



EIR: Okay. Now it is interesting to note that the CEO of Agricore sits on the Board of Directors of Glacier Ventures International.



McCreary: Yes.



EIR: Then of course, with the influence which Mulroney would have within the Conservative government, and another interesting fact which I found was that the NCC spent approximately $19 million to get Mulroney elected in 1988, which is quite substantial for Canadian politics.



McCreary: Yes, it’s huge.



EIR: Now, considering this, would it be fair to say that Archer Daniels Midland would be the main beneficiary of the dismantling of the single desk?



McCreary: Well, I think there are actually quite a number of big beneficiaries. I think that CP Rail, which is headquartered in Calgary and has clearly been at the same headquarters as the Reform/Canadian Alliance group, has a huge potential to benefit. The Wheat Board has been very active in making sure that services are provided to small shippers of grains – of Wheat Board grains – so producers have access to real facilities which clearly wouldn’t be the case in a railway-dominated marketplace. And I suspect that if you research the involvement of the transition team you would find other Directors of major grain companies that were fairly active. So I wouldn’t be in the business of singling out one necessarily. You’ve certainly drawn connections for one of the players. I’ve certainly seen the road map where some of the other players were fairly tightly tied to this administration as well.

Is McCreary accusing someone of benefitting?, wilagrow.

My my.

2. I'll take under advisement, wilagrow, your concerned comments about legal action,to my family-member practicing lawyer. It's the handiest.

3. You didn't answer my question either: "Would you have preferred to have Eagle Sterling listing Machej's name so you know who it was?" A Manitoba fax, with a Toronto phone # and no name listed is a ....curiosity.

PS You mentioned you'd been trying..so I'll pass on a tip. If you really, really search, you can find out a lot of things about Machej/Iriana Resources etc. Can Anyone else post wilagrow a good tip?

[wilagro]

parsley: I wonder also about Machey's office in Switzerland...is it a mail-drop or an actual working office?

Maybe we will have to hire that private dick after all.

Regards...

Wilagro:
Why do you keep referring to "Machey" when it's spelled "Machej"?
Are you sure you understand who is being talked about here?

[wilagro]

Because it is the same man. JUst like Smith or Smythe or Schmidt.

Check it out. Do some googling or goggling or googeling for all I care.

[chaffmeister]

Just a guess but I think you're confusing Machej with Malchy as in Malchy Grain. Machej worked for Malchy until Malchy died.

I can see how easy this would be for you to get confused.

Machej is not the same as Machey.

Just like Weber is not the same as Webber.

Close but no cigar...

Chaff*****: Thanks, I will do more checkum-ups. Maybe get PD license...Ahahahahahahahahah
