A film school in CA already wants a piece of this. Whoever finally grabs this and runs with it (filmed as a documentary) will have themselves a Best Picture nomination without even trying. Watergate was like a Disney cartoon compared to the eventual take-down of the "Tim Horton overdosed officials" at various regulatory organizations in Canada. "SPOTLIGHT' won Best Picture in the US. Where-oh-where are the investigative reporters and expose filmmakers in Canada looking to rattle the world? It's coming.
Where do they even begin with such a project? At the Bre-X fiasco? Barrick wanted so badly to get in on Bre-X but their timing was off, however they did learn a valuable lesson there ......... which was...... how to create a money-laundering Ponzi Scheme without a real project.
Isn't it interesting that at the time, Indonesian President Suharto actually "invited" Barrick to step in and mine the project. According to Transparency International, Suharto is the most corrupt leader in modern history, he allegedly embezzled $15–35 billion while in power. Suharto and Barrick "representatives" must have had some fine evenings bonding together....... bowling, playing gin rummy and drinking iced tea.
Will be wearing my "Go Jorge, Go!" tee shirt once again next week when I meet the Pope and the Dalai Lama for tennis. I'm sure the Lama will explain Karma to me once again if I cheat with my foot-faults. If you steal, you will be stolen from. If you lie you will be lied to. If you throw your weight around in the world, the world will come back and get you. It never fails. Tibby, the movie should start before 11:00 if it's a documentary. Lots of old folks watch these things. 11:00 is kind of late, no?
