“This has been a year of strong progress toward a freer, more peaceful world and a prosperous America. This is an amazing moment in the history of liberty.�
—President George W. Bush on the recent Iraq elections and the American economy
I am still awaiting Bush’s clarification as to precisely how zero Iraq-related American deaths prior to our occupation of Iraq was considered “less free and less peaceful� than the now 2,160-plus American deaths in Iraq, and how more than 100,000 Iraqi citizen deaths after our occupation equates to a global climate that is now more free and peaceful than before. I want specifics, not more rhetoric from the maligned CEO of this country.
Someone remind me again what President Clinton did that was so bad to have gotten impeached? Sure, he may have used poor judgment for his methods of blowing off steam. Then he got caught and was thoroughly embarrassed. I am sure he is the only husband in the country to have ever lied about a fling — and I am sure every other straying husband had an audience of 300 million people when the dirty laundry got aired, as Clinton did.
I’d rather have Clinton’s indiscretions any day than a president who:
— Hires a friend and former racehorse owner to direct our country’s disaster preparedness office, thus resulting in thousands of deaths in New Orleans;
— Is too stubborn to admit that he made a mistake in starting a war and chooses instead to “stay the (undefined) course� nonetheless;
— Attempts to have a lawyer and close friend with no trial experience get a seat on the highest court in the United States — a move that was so impossible to accomplish that even the layperson was critical, which leads to only one conclusion: Bush displayed a highly incompetent decision-making capacity;
— Has a one-time close friend, former Enron CEO Ken Lay, who is about to join the list of CEOs who lost billions of dollars and ruined lives of millions of people because of corporate fraud.
Where is Ken Starr now?

Those facts are hard to dispute, Jeff Bellamar. By comparison it is flabbergasting that Clinton was impeached for what he did. Further, he and his wife were crucified for a supposedly $100,000 financial gain they made as if this was some sort of financial corruption "smoking gun" yet numerous Bush associates have been raking in millions of dollars from illicit activities. Hillary's "right wing conspiracy" charge was misguided at the time but has show to be right on the mark in hindsight.
Hhhhm.
How can we trust a president who is unfaithful? Impossible. Clinton's indiscretions are not acceptable. Liberal or Conservative. Adultery is adultery. Lying is lying. How a man treats his wife is how he treats his country.
Really? Well Bush treats his wife better than the citizens of the country who are overseas. You fail to see that there is a comparison being made here - you are given the hypothetical choice of two presidents making bad decisions. One president cheats on his wife and no people die. Another president struts into office with his spurs jangling, starts an illogical war on the other side of the planet and thousands of people have died, even as this is written they continue to die. Pick your poison. One is hurtful, the other is dangerous. Ask the maimed vets who are home who is paying their medical bills? Its not Uncle Sugar. Nice way to say thanks for fighting the Bush/Halliburton war.
Whatever you say Jeff B, you still have to support the president no matter what. Its the patriotic thing to do.

Nice anonymous posting to Jeff Bellamar "Max". Why do people use these letters to the editor for these gripes? If there was anything here to what you are saying "Max" and Wilson, the local police is your outlet. Are you letting personal issues cloud your judgement? Sounds like it.
Our company has been a client of Jeff Bellamar with great experiences for over 6 months. This is what's good and bad about the Internet, anyone can say anything about anyone. If what these two guys are saying is true, then why have they not gone to the authorities and choose instead to write to a newspaper with fake names?
Hey brotha,
Let the truth be known, our country is run by corruption, just as the UK, South America, Spain, Mexico and the likes. Our system is not fit for such collaboration in the sybor world. But you mentioned "judgement"? Yes the person I represent and the others do have judgments against you, and you already know that. The authoriites in various counties can't spend tax payers dollars chasing cons like you, because you have no money, you are a drifter. Believe me, it will catch up one day.

SLUCON:
I have lately been working with the CEO of a philanthropic organization and she introduced me to a Dallas investor who could facilitate something very attractive for the benefit of getting the Grande Anse project in St Lucia done.
In summary, for a minimum $25 million loan, he will have a one-year ABN-AMRO bank guaranty issued to a lender (on our behalf) that will provide 110% collateralization, with a guaranteed one-year exit. If necessary, he can possibly go 112% collateralization for the one-year term. The investor is currently asset rich and relatively cash poor yet he can pledge 2x the guaranty amount in real assets. The bottom line is that First Caribbean Bank will hold a AA-rated security with a one-year maturity with 110%-112% collateralization. Unlike the Citigroup transaction (which would have been a 10-year hold), you'd be in and out in a year. The BG needs to come from ABN-AMRO because of the reinsurers which are involved.
Very simple. Let me know if interested and I'll provide further details and contact information.

Hi Jeff:
I am interested and would like further information from you.

I think you can now be classified as certifiably insane. The LA Times editor?!
You should probably know that in what was a true case of deception, I was assisting a few people trying to recover a total of about $330,000 from a guy who claimed to have direct connections to Hollywood studios. We contacted the police, the SEC, and the FBI and they flat out told us, "If the complaint isn't at least $1 million, we don't have the manpower to go after it. Sorry." And they refused to discuss it any further.
You and I entered into a joint venture in St Lucia and it hasn't worked out...yet. Get over it. I can see why you were fired from BISYS, according to Tanya in the HR department. You still have your job in St Lucia waiting for you, when/if the deal closes.

Dear Editor:
I would like to introduce you to a case of deception involving Jeff Bellamar, Analyst, World Wide Finance Group. Mr. Bellamar designed a scheme which involved the development of a hotel project on my island in the Caribbean, St. Lucia. He promised me an executive position in exchange for investing $10,000.00. However, he has not been able to deliver on his promise nor has he returned to me my $10,000.00. Further, I sought the intervention of World Wide Fianance Group, of which he is the Analyst, but their reaction towards me has been negative.
This document is the first in a series that will be released to your newspaper for investigation. I do look forward to your support.
Sincerely,
Wilson Jn. baptiste
Hi Wilson,
Thanks for the reply.
One consistent problem I have had with this Grande
Anse project is - unfortunately - St Lucia itself. All
of the US investors I work with do not consider St
Lucia to be a high end destination locale. I think
differently however.
To entice the investor network I have, I have also
brought in the participation of ING (www.ing.com) to
provide an insurance contract to any early-stage
investor. For example, a $75 million investor will not
only have the land as security but they will also have
a $75 million ING-backed insurance contract. My
investors do not want to be the first money into the
deal but as a second stage, I am sure I can bring more
than $250 million to the project.
My serious question to you is: will your private
equity group consider stepping in to acquire the
Grande Anse Beach Company? If so, we can offer them
the same deal with ING. This is very conservative.
Your private equity firm will have approx. $160
million in security (land asset plus insurance
contract) for the $75MM investment.
I would like to get in contact with Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson, I have some information that you are looking for.
How do I get a hold of you?
