EVASION DE BUNGE A TRAVES DE GARMET POR NUEVA PALMIRA, HECHA LA LEY HECHA LA TRAMPA

LA EVASION POR NUEVA PALMIRA DE BUNGE FACTURANDO A TRAVES DE GARMET EN SOCIEDAD CON PEREZ COMPANC EN LA CUAL POSEE EL 60% DE LAS ACCIONES.
EN EL 2009 NUEVA PALMIRA EXPORTO PRCTICAMENTE UN MILLON DE TONELADAS DE SOJA, O SEA MAS DE CUATROCIENTOS MILLONES DE DOLARES LO CUAL RONDARIA LO ESTIMATIVOS DE LA AFIP ARGENTINA, SI CONTINUAMOS INVESTIGANDO A LOS EXPORTADORES DE SOJA DE NUEVA PALMIRA ENCONTRARIAMOS LOS 300 MILLLONES DE DOLARES DE DIFERENCIA POR AÑO Y LOS VINCULOS A BUNGE A TRAVES DE DIFERENTES S.A, LLEGANDO AL ESTIMATIVO DE LA AFIP ARGENTINA.

TRIANGULACIONES YA CONOCIDAS DE BUNGE COMO POR EJEMPLO LA EMPRESA AEROVIP UTILIZADA PARA EL VACIAMIENTO DE PLUNA, SIN ENTRAR A DISCUTIR EL LAVADO DE LA FORTUNA DE YABRAN A TRAVES DE EXXEL Y ADVENT Y LOS VINCULOS DIRECTOS CON EL NARCOTRAFICO EN SOUTHERN WINDS.

La AFIP sostiene que existen "conductas erráticas" de parte de la cerealera respecto a la declaración de ganancias y el nivel de facturación que tuvo dentro del rubro cerealero entre los años 2007, 2008 y 2009. Para el fisco resulta "inexplicable" que de "un día para otro" hayan decidido pagar "cero" de impuesto a las ganancias y algunas estimaciones iniciales indican que el ajuste rondaría los 1.200 millones de pesos. Este número surge de multiplicar por 3 los 420 millones de pesos que se ajustaron para el 2007, cuya aplicación quedará en manos de la Justicia. Si bien en la AFIP admiten que el domicilio de la oficina en Uruguay se encuentra en una zona franca, también se argumenta que la "única" operación que se llevó a cabo de 2007 a la fecha es una importación textil por valor de 180 dólares.

Fase de acopio


La fase de acopio y distribución es la encargada de administrar el 95% de la
producción y la exporta, fundamentalmente por el puerto de Nueva Palmira.
Nueva Palmira cuenta con: un puerto administrado por la ANP (concedido a
una empresa privada: TGU), una Terminal y puerto privado de Corporación
Navíos SA y las instalaciones de FRIGOFRUT (estas últimas dos en
régimen de zona franca). En el año 2008 se exportaron por TGU el 77% del
total, por NAVIOS el 17% y el 6% restante por Montevideo. Agronegocios
del Plata (ADP) posee silos en la Terminal de Corporación Navíos con una
capacidad global de 10000 toneladas.

18 Un convenio recientemente firmado entre ANCAP, COUSA y CONAPROLE, permitirá a la empresa aceitera producir la mayor parte del
biodiesel que será incluido en las mezclas con gasoil a partir de 2012. El convenio implica el compromiso por parte de ANCAP de comprar
el combustible producido por COUSA, mientras CONAPROLE comprará el coproducto del aceite (la harina) que destinará a la alimentación
de los rodeos lecheros. ¿Dónde nos lleva el camino de la soja?
16
En el negocio del acopio existe una fuerte concentración y
transnacionalización. Las cinco mayores firmas exportadoras acumulan el
77% del volumen de soja comercializado. Se trata, en cuatro de los cinco
casos, de empresas subsidiarias de las transnacionales o de joint ventures
19 entre éstas y empresas locales. Éstas son: ADM (conforma un joint venture
con Barraca Erro), Cargill (a través de su subsidiaria Crop Uruguay),

Bunge (indirectamente a través de Garmet, propiedad de Perez Companc de
la cual la transnacional tiene el 60% de las acciones) y Louis Dreyfus (a
través de su subsidiaria Uruagri)


Top ten Exportaciones 2009 en Uruguay NRO 9 PARA GARMET GRANOS CON 94.000.000



La arrocera Saman y la láctea Conaprole fueron las dos principales firmas exportadoras de 2009, con 208.000.000 de dólares en mercancía colocada por cada una, 3,79% del total en cada caso. Les siguió Compañía Forestal Oriental, propietaria de las tierras que la ex Botnia, ahora UPM, utiliza para producir la madera que luego exporta hacia la ZF de Fray Bentos para su industrialización en pasta de celulosa: 174.000.000 de dólares (3,16%). Luego, Barraca Jorge Walter Erro (granos), con 131.000.000 (2,39%), y después Crop Uruguay (semillas), con 123.000.000 (2,25%). Siguen en orden de ventas: Establecimientos Colonia (carnes), con 107.000.000 (1,94%); Frigorífico Las Piedras, con 105.000.000 (1,92%); Frigorífico San Jacinto, con 97.000.000 (1,76%); Frigorífico Tacuarembó, con 94.000.000 (1,72%); Garmet (granos), con 94.000.000 (1,71%); Cervecería y Maltería Paysandú, con 92.000.000 (1,67%); Frigorífico Matadero Carrasco, con 87.000.000 (1,58%); Ldc Uruguay (granos), con 87.000.000 (1,58%); Pulsa (frigorífico), con 87.000.000 (1,58%); y Curtiembre Branaá (Zenda), con 83.000.000 de dólares (1,52% del total).

Scotiabank to Acquire Uruguay’s Nuevo Banco Comercial, Pronto

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-06/scotiabank-agrees-to-buy-nuevo-banco-commercial-and-pronto-in-uruguay.html


Scotiabank to Acquire Uruguay’s Nuevo Banco Comercial, Pronto

By Sean B. Pasternak - Dec 6, 2010 7:06 PM GMT-0300

Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada’s third- largest bank, agreed to buy Nuevo Banco Comercial and consumer- finance company Pronto! to become the first Canadian bank with a branch network in Uruguay.

Nuevo Banco has 49 outlets in Uruguay and about C$1.2 billion ($1.19 billion) in deposits, Toronto-based Scotiabank said today in a statement. The price for the 100 percent stake wasn’t disclosed.

Scotiabank Chief Executive Officer Richard Waugh has spent about $2 billion on acquisitions since 2007 at the international banking unit, which accounted for about a third of profit in the year ended Oct. 31. The lender has operations in about 50 countries, including Peru, Chile and Mexico.

The purchases are “consistent with its international acquisitions strategy of building out its Latam banking network through small, accretive acquisitions,” Morgan Stanley analyst Cheryl Pate said today in a note.

Nuevo Banco Comercial has an 11 percent share of Uruguay’s loans and deposits market, ranking fourth among private banks. The purchase will add to Scotiabank’s earnings in the first year, the lender said.

“It provides a natural extension of our operations that we have in Latin America,” said Dieter Jentsch, Scotiabank’s executive vice president of Latin America. “Uruguay continues to impress us with its political stability and its economic fortunes.”

Consumer Finance

Competitors in the market include Spanish lenders Banco Santander SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA, and London- based HSBC Holdings Plc, Jentsch said today in a telephone interview. Nuevo Banco offers consumer finance lending, providing small loans to clients who don’t have a banking history.

Scotiabank will use the purchases to expand credit-card accounts, commercial lending and infrastructure financing, Jentsch said.

Scotiabank is buying the Uruguayan lender from a group led by Boston-based private equity firm Advent International Corp. Advent bought Nuevo Banco in 2006 for $167 million, the company said on its website.

Pronto! has 37 branches and 200,000 clients in the South American country of 3.4 million people, Bank of Nova Scotia said. The two organizations have about 700 employees, Jentsch said.

Bank of Nova Scotia rose 49 cents to a record high C$56.12 in 4:21 p.m. trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Texas billionaire David Bonderman takes home $1.5bn profit from Myer deal

Texas billionaire David Bonderman takes home $1.5bn profit from Myer deal
By Jennifer Sexton From: The Sunday Telegraph November 22, 2009 12:01AM




David Bonderman pocketed $1.5 billion by buying Myer at a bargain-basement price and flogging it back to the market at a premium / File

HE'S the genius behind one of Australia's most extraordinary business coups: a Texas billionaire who lives as large as he stands.

Just two years after failing to get his hands on Qantas, the lanky maverick has pocketed a remarkable $1.5 billion profit by buying Myer, one of our best-loved retailers, at a bargain-basement price and flogging it back to the market at a premium.

David Bonderman, renowned as the "King of Buyouts'', has left the Australian Taxation Office scratching its head - and mum-and-dad investors shaking their heads, wondering where their cash went, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

The taxman wants $678 million in tax and penalties, and everyday investors want answers.






Within hours of the Jennifer Hawkins-hyped sell-off of Myer, the bounty controlled by Bonderman's TPG had disappeared.

Overnight, $1.5 billion was spirited out of Australian bank accounts to the Netherlands before being transferred to companies based in two notorious tax havens: the tiny European nation of Luxembourg and the the Caribbean's Cayman Islands.

And the 67-year-old mate of James Packer, who shares the Australian billionaire's penchant for buying into casinos, has pulled off the deal just 12 months after predicting a long, deep and painful recession.

While Bonderman and his equally colourful co-chairman, Dick Blum, quadrupled their investment in Myer, investors watched the stock plunge nine per cent when it listed. They're still waiting for the share price to hit the $4.10 they paid for their stock.

The deal has shades of TPG's buyout of British department store chain Debenhams. TPG and its partners made an almost fourfold return, while the value of Debenhams stock has since fallen by half.

Two weeks after the sell-off saga began to unfold, Australian authorities and the wider business community are still wondering what actually happened.

After the ATO raised the red flag, one Myer investor posted on the financial blog Hotcopper: "Yep ... the money's gone ... all da way to da CAYMAN ISLANDS!!!!! They came to Australia, made the quick big bucks and go without mercy and no social responsibility.''

One Australian entrepreneur told The Sunday Telegraph: "There is something preposterous that when you make a gain here you are paying tax at 50 or 30 per cent, but when a foreigner makes a gain, they pay no tax.

"They were never intending to sit on (the Myer investment) for 100 years.

"They improve, stroke and hit the business, prod it, and then they flog it."

And that's exactly what Bonderman and his high-flying buddy Blum did with Myer. Like the Myer deal, everything the enigmatic big man from Texas does is big - his partying and his personal fortune among them.

The father of five is said to have thrown the most lavish multi-million dollar bash in history to celebrate his 60th birthday, even bringing in the biggest band in the world - the Rolling Stones - and comic Robin Williams to entertain his guests.

But it's his business acumen that has made him famous. The $US1.7 billion man is a pioneer among the buyout barbarians: he spends millions on troubled assets, turns them around and sells them off for millions more.

That was the modus operandi with Myer. With Dick Blum, Bonderman's Texas-based TPG came to Australia with $500 million to buy the troubled retail giant.

Three years later Blum, who travelled to Myer board meetings in his $70 million Gulfstream jet, and Bonderman are back in America counting their cash and contemplating the next deal.

But with the ATO chasing the money trail, the pair may think again before opting for another bold Australian bid.

The ATO has claimed $452 million in alleged unpaid tax, plus $226 million in penalties. Foreign investors don't pay capital gains tax, and exactly why the tax is being claimed remains a mystery.

The ATO isn't commenting, but there is speculation it will argue that the proceeds should be considered income and taxed accordingly. Sorting that out is likely to take years in the courts.

Bonderman, whose wiry, receding hair makes him look like a mad scientist, is not the type to roll over and pay tax that TPG claims it doesn't owe.

He and Blum don't like talking to the media and, through their gun corporate crisis manager in Australia, Sue Cato, declined to be interviewed for this story.

Cato released a three-sentence statement saying, in part: "Ultimately, the issues will be dealt with according to the law and TPG will co-operate fully with any inquiry the ATO may make, as it has done in the past.''

TPG's Australian office, in Collins St, Melbourne, is run by Ben Gray, son of former Tasmanian premier Robin Gray.

Ben Gray was also involved with TPG's failed $11 billion bid for Qantas - TPG's previous big time tilt at an Australian icon. He, too, wasn't commenting.

Bonderman has been looking to Australia for years, and has formed a friendship with James Packer. Both have invested in the world's biggest casino operator, Harrah's Entertainment, in the US.

Observers have described him as possessing all the charm and arrogance of a Hollywood leading man.

But with the taxman on his tail over the Myer deal it is unclear whether the Harvard-educated former bankruptcy lawyer's 67th birthday this Friday will match the extravagance of his previous parties, which included The Rolling Stones, John Mellancamp and Robin Williams as entertainment.

Even so, on the face of it, Bonderman's Myer moment has capped off an otherwise disappointing couple of years for Bonderman.

He has fallen significantly down the Forbes rich list after blowing as much as $US1.3 billion in an unsuccessful attempt to save the Washington Mutual bank.

He peaked in 2007 as the 105th richest man in the US, with an estimated $US3.3bn fortune.

One of his biggest successes was salvaging Continental Airlines with a $US66 million investment that in five years was worth $US700 million.

He also enjoyed huge success with discount airline Ryanair and fast food giant Burger King.

This latest foray in Australia - one of the biggest of its type in the world this year - appears to be yet another Everest-like success for Bonderman and Blum, his pal of 30 years.

The pair hike together in Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan.

"He climbs, I trek,'' says Bonderman.

Whether they remain on cloud nine over the Myer deal remains to be seen.

ROBERT MILTON AND MATIAS CAMPIANI CORPORATIVE LOOTING UNCOVERED

ROBERT MILTON AND MATIAS CAMPIANI HAVE MUCH BAGAGGE
WHILE WAGE AND PENSION CONCESSIONS,  WHAT COMES NEXT?











       CERBERUS LLC
                               
 



                                               




ROBERT MILTON AND MATIAS CAMPIANI HAVE MUCH BAGAGGE?


Robert Milton of Air Canada or save it is flying to the floor?

Matias Campiani saves Pluna or flies to the floor?

The same strategy used by Robert Milton's Air Canada is used by Matias Campiani on Pluna, the parallel companies are being used for their own benefit while wage, pension concessions and subsidies are given by Canadian state.
 Air Canada Jazz is the second aviation company in Canada and depends on Air Canada by 100% as a feeder, contracts are always favorable to Air Canada Jazz, Air Canada executives and their front men hide their shares in parallel companies, other examples are Aveos, Aeroplan, Aeroman as a drain on the Canadian flag company.
Leadgate group linked to ACE Aviation Holdings in many ways is the parent company of Air Canada and applies the same methods, using Aerovip to drain Pluna.
Just by comparing their domains.com we can discover this coroporative links between Pluna and ACE,
www.flypluna.com  /www.flyjazz.com ---www.plunavacation.com / aircanadavacations.com
Also Francisco Alvarez Demalde the brother of Pluna Leadgate´vicepresident capitalized Pluna and also ACTS, now AVEOS, one of the parallel mentioned companies opened by ACE.
Aerovip operates Pluna´s planes which are guaranteed by the Uruguayan state and provides
services to Pluna in the same way as Air Jazz Canada does to Air Canada in contracts far above the market.
After these findings there´s no surprise that Air Canada Jazz is the only company interested in investing a red balanced Pluna, when the game of high finance is to hide the money, the problem emerges later, when Air Canada Canadian workers  loose firstly their benefits as the Canadian state fills Air Canada black hole ending  so far away as the bankrupted low cost, security, salary Uruguayan company and Mr. Campiani and associates pockets.
Leadgate bought Pluna in 15 million dollars obtained with the comission of aircrafts bought to Bombardier, in 2008 Leadgate lost 27 million and 22 in 2009, so paying 15 million dollars for 25% shares, the same payed by Leadgate for the 100% seems a big bubble business.
Also these looting methods were used in Southern Winds the Cordoba Argentinian narco airline related to Leadgate, Bombardier and the laundred money of Yabran´s Argentinian Mafia through Bunge & Born´s Holdings like Advent International and Exxel Group, Aerolineas Argentinas payed them high fixed contracts beyond the number of passengers transported.


http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/rob-magazine/robert-milton-has-a-lot-of-baggage/article1154017/

http://www.socialistvoice.ca/?p=435


But as of June 2009 Globe and Mail Business Report magazine reported, the source of the bonanza of the investors was a combination of financial chicanery and the top of the profitable divisions separate corporate entities. These include regional carrier Air Canada Jazz, Aeroplan rewards program, and the Aveo above.

In total, the former "Air Canada" has been plundered of its divisions for profit. What remains is a large fleet of domestic and international air routes in the face of stiff competition.
"She was raped by Cerberus," said Ben Cherniavsky, airline analyst report on business, referring to Cerberus Capital Management, New York "equity" firm that became one of the largest shareholders after Air Canada plane emerged from bankruptcy. "Good cash flow business were taken away from him."
There are striking similarities in all of this to the fate of Chrysler, General Motors and other companies recently in bankruptcy.
As with autoworkers, unions in the airline and aerospace workers need a political agenda and course of action to end the looting of corporate social wealth and place vital services such as transport property governance and planning. One of the urgent goals of economic planning must be a radical change in urban design and transport modes in order to stop the environmental destruction that accompanies the irresponsible proliferation of fossil fuel burning cars and airplanes. The voting membership of the IAM in the Air Canada and questions over the fate of the airline opens up more space for that debate.

JOE RANDELL AIR JAZZ LOOTING






JOSEPH RANDELL HAS TOO MUCH BAGGAGE ALSO?






                                    M.C:  Thanks for this 15 million Gift Mr.Randell

                                    J.R :   Thank you for my shares in Aerovip







 AIR JAZZ ANALYST AND SHAREHOLDERS CONFERENCE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cameron Dorkson:Can your tell us Pluna´s financial
                             situation, is it profitable?

Joe Randell: ahhh, mmmm, that´s something we are not able
                    to do because Pluna is a private company and
                    as such does not make it´s numbers available.

Cameron:     Ok, is it profitable, you can even tell us that?

Joe Randell: ahh, it´s ahhh, it´s, looking to be and you know...
                   should have a positive impact on, on Jazz.

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



Come on Mr. Randell, all Uruguay knows  that Leadgate
investment administration lost more than 50 million dollars
from it´s begining in 2007, after investing just 15 million from
the Bombardier planes sale commission, guaranteed by Uruguayan
government.
Expectations for business are not the best for the incoming Aerolineas
Argentinas flight regional expansion in Aeroparque and the new
Uruguayab BQB Airlines.

After all seems like Mr. Randell got a special personal reward for
 investing in Pluna, maybe some shares in Aerovip, the parallel
company opened by Leadgate  in Argentina forlooting Pluna.
Thanks anyway Mr. Randell for financing Pluna workers trials
for more than 30 million dollar, always sorry for air Canada
workers that will have to continue giving cocessions.

THE ROCKEFELLER LINKS OF CANADIAN POLITICIANS



http://www.think-aboutit.com/conspiracy/rockefeller_links_of_canadian_po.htm


The Rockefeller links of Canadian politicians...


It may re-pay the reader to spend a few minutes tracing the connections of Paul Desmarais and Power Corp. to the leading politicians, etc. of Canada:
  • JOHN RAE: leading strategist for Prime Minister Chretien's election campaign. Was Executive Vice- President of Power Corp. and Paul Desmarais' right- hand man. His brother is....
  • BOB RAE: Rhodes Scholar and ex-NDP [Socialist] Premier of Ontario, who appointed....
  • MAURICE STRONG to the chairmanship of Ontario Hydro, which he proceeded to dramatically cut in both skilled human resources and generating capacity [to provide a future need for power from James Bay/Grand Canal?]
  • PAUL MARTIN: current federal Finance Minister. Rose through the ranks at Power Corp., mentored by Paul Desmarais. Bought Canada Steamship Lines from him. Ran against Chretien for Liberal Party leadership. He attended the 1996 meeting of the Bilderberg Group, where those he mingled with included - surprise! - David Rockefeller.
  • JEAN CHRETIEN: Prime Minister. Daughter, France, is married to Andre Desmarais, son of Paul Desmarais, chairman of Power Corporation. Chretien's "advisor, counsellor and strategist" for the past 30 years has been MITCHELL SHARP, who brought Chretien into politics when he was Finance Minister. Sharp has been, since 1981, Vice-Chairman for North America of David Rockefeller's TRILATERAL COMMISSION. Chretien attended the 1996 meeting of the Bilderberg Group.
  • DANIEL JOHNSON: present Liberal [and Opposition] leader in Quebec. Rose through the ranks of Power Corp.
  • BRIAN MULRONEY: ex-Conservative Prime Minister. Now a lawyer and lobbyist for Power Corporation which, together with Ontario Hydro and Hydro Quebec, has just formed the Hong Kong-based ASIA POWER CORP., to help China to develop its energy potential. Power Corp.'s legal interests in Asia will be handled by a Hong Kong branch of Mulroney's Montreal law firm, Olgilvy, Renault. He is also a well-remunerated member of the board of Archer-Daniels-Midland, a Rockefeller-owned conglomerate, which is headed by Dwayne Andreas who, like Rockefeller himself, is also a member of the elite and secretive Bilderberg Group.
  • Mike Harris, Premier of Ontario, who headed off for a fishing weekend at a remote Northern camp with George Bush and Paul Martin soon after his election. Harris, like his colleague Ralph Klein, Premier of Alberta, is also a Bilderberger.
So...we have the CONSERVATIVE party [via Mulroney], the LIBERAL party [via Chretien], and the NDP [via Rae] all tightly connected to....Paul Desmarais and Power Corp.
And we have the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister, and the Prime Minister's key aide all tightly connected to....Paul Desmarais and Power Corp.
Mel Hurtig wrote, in THE BETRAYAL OF CANADA:
"Since Brian Mulroney became Prime Minister, Big Business has had effective control of the political and economic agenda, and hence the social and cultural agenda as well. Paul Desmarais provided much of the money for Pierre Trudeau's campaign, Brian Mulroney's campaign, and Jean Chretien's campaign." [p.188]
Maurice Strong has now joined Brian Mulroney and Paul Desmarais in investing the Asia Power Group's $100 million venture capital in "small coal-fired power plants being built in the south of China". They are also looking at "larger projects in northern China, as well as in Malaysia, the Philippines and India." The Asian economies are expected to spend $1 trillion [US] on essential infrastructure, of which an estimated $400 billion [US] will be on power generation. Chinese and Asian labour costs are low - as low, in China, as $45 per month - and potential profits are high.
The Nov/Dec. 1993 issue of David Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations' publication FOREIGN RELATIONS contains an article, THE RISE OF CHINA, in which we are warned that China will begin to use more energy than the United States within a few decades, massively straining the world's energy supplies. Most of China's energy comes from the burning of soft, high-sulphur, highly- polluting coal. In 1991 alone, 11 trillion cubic meters of waste gases and sixteen million tons of soot were emitted into the atmosphere over China - and it has only just begun its long process of increased energy generation!
The suphur in this coal causes acid rain. The burning of the coal releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the most efficient "greenhouse gas" in the global warming process.
The warmer the climate becomes, the greater the need for fresh water in Mexico and the southern United States - and the more urgent the need for a GRAND Canal project to get it there. An astute businessman could, if he were so inclined, potentially make astronomical profits off both ends of this process!
Oh, and Paul Desmarais?
In September, 1993, he joined David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission.
He won't feel out-of-place there, though. Other prominent Canadian members include Gerald Bouey [former Governor of the Bank of Canada]; Conrad Black, newspaper magnate and chairman of Argus; John Allen, CEO of Stelco; Raymond Cyr, President of Bell Canada Enterprises; Peter Dobell, of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, in Ottawa; Marie-Jose Druin, Hudson Institute of Canada; Claude Edwards, Public Staff Relations Board in Ottawa; Allan Gottlieb, former Canadian Ambassador to the U.S.; David Henniger, Regional Director of Burns, Fry; Senator Duff Roblin; Ron Sutherland, CEO of ATCO Ltd., William Turner, of Montreal's PCC Industrial Corporation; and J.H. Warren, former Canadian Ambassador to the U.S.
[And, of course, Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau was also in the habit of frequently briefing meetings of David Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations in Washington; and Lucien Bouchard, separatist PQ leader, was brought into politics by Brian Mulroney, whose last act in Ottawa was to host a black-tie dinner for 200 members of Rockefeller's Council of the Americas, who flew up on Rockefeller's private jet to celebrate the successful negotiation of NAFTA - another Rockefeller innovation]
