87) Even without my story, the writing has been on the walls ever since Enron crashed and the levels of corruption behind how they did business was exposed. By 2003 when I got myself arrested to expose the war in Iraq being used as cover to dump hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars in losses on the American taxpayer, there shouldn’t have been any need for my efforts. MTBE and the end of the world end-run plan didn’t have to be exposed for the American people to stop what was going on. 88) Americans people realized something was wrong with our government and financial system when Enron crashed. But they trusted politicians and justice system to fix it, which are run by the same people behind it. If pressure instead of apathy had been applied, the trillion-dollar loan to build MTBE refineries would have surfaced. When questions followed about where the money went, the pyramid scheme it built using Enron style derivatives would have surfaced before it collapsed. 89) In 1990 when the first Bush president turned a blind eye to Saddam Hussein amassing his troops on the Kuwaiti border, then invading, it shouldn’t have shielded the MTBE story from getting out. The only reason the people behind it knew their plan would work is because they know the American people have a short attention span, meaning we can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. We can but refuse to and they know it, otherwise none of this would have happened, which therein lies the cure.
