Could Somebody Please Explain the ENRON/9-11 Connection?

I've heard that Enron and 9/11 are connected. In fact, Enron blew up just after the 9/11 attacks, didn't it? And didn't it start having problems BEFORE 9/11?

Somebody who knows about this, please explain the connections.

THERE ARE NONE.

Glad to be of service.

The Afghanistan/Enron Connection.

Rumor has it that in the months before Enron's collapse, Bush, Cheney, and the much-gossiped-about "energy task force" convened daily, high-priority meetings to try and engineer a bailout for Bush's most generous campaign contributor. At the peak of the Enron scandal and in the aftermath of the attack on Afghanistan, a fascinating document surfaced in conspiracy circles that told of a bank-breaking Enron venture: A power plant the firm had partly built in India. Plagued with cost overruns and accusations of employee mistreatment that led to violent labor disputes, the power plant became a cash sinkhole that threatened to send Enron into insolvency -- unless the plant could tap into a pipeline network to be spun off from the Caspian Sea venture and recover some of its losses by operating on natural gas. A detailed and intriguing read, this document explains why Dick Cheney would sooner chug a quart of 10W-40 than surrender the minutes of those energy meetings.

and the only place to get cheap natural gas in the area is from Afghanistan. India had invested a lot of money into it and wanted their money back.

contract to a S. American country that spring. Right after that * started pushing for the Afghanistan invasion. Funny how the S.A. contract was torn up and the Unical contract signed by the new gov't.

Which was then supposed to bail Enron out with a corrupt no-bid pipeline deal for Enron.

But it came to late to save Enron.

Dick Cheney easily adapted and put his war profit eggs in the Halliburton bascket instead.

in 2001 asking for a 6 billion dollar loan. The Imbecile King rejected kenron lay. As I remember during 2001 kenron was financially raping California (brownouts) quadrupled electric bills. But underneath that air of success was "Grand Larceny" and Kennyboy needed a handout.
So, did the impending collapse of Enron help determine the need for a New Pearl Harbor? Or was the PNAC agenda enough to doom the country? (USA&Iraq)
I'd like to know !!

""Enron CEO Kenneth Lay was a Pentagon official during the Vietnam War. Another Enron board member who facilitated Enron's most egregious violations overseas, Frank Wisner, Jr., has intimate CIA ties and is the son of former CIA Deputy Director Frank Wisner, Sr., who was present at the creation of the CIA. ...

Enron hired former US Ambassador to India Frank Wisner, who subsequently used CIA influence to help Enron win a $2.8 billion contract for the Dabhol power plant, the biggest international investment since India opened its economy in 1991. When thousands of local residents, including acclaimed journalist Arundhati Roy, protested the plant, Enron hired Indian police to beat and arrest opponents of the project. A detailed Human Rights Watch analysis of the human rights violations of Enron and the US government can be found at www.hrw.org/reports/1999/enron/enron9-0.htm.""

I've also heard about Enron, Taliban, negotiations along with the neice of Richard Helms, re a possible natural gas pipeline across Afganistan, as mentioned here:

""A chief benefactor in the CentGas deal would have been Halliburton, the huge oil pipeline construction firm that also had its eye on the Central Asian oil reserves. At the time, Halliburton was headed by Dick Cheney. After Cheney's selection as Bush's Vice Presidential candidate, Halliburton also pumped a huge amount of cash into the Bush-Cheney campaign coffers. And like oil cash cow Enron, there were Wall Street rumors in late December that Halliburton, which suffered a forty per cent drop in share value, might follow Enron into bankruptcy court.

Assisting with the CentGas negotiations with the Taliban was Laili Helms, the niece-in-law of former CIA Director Richard Helms. Laili Helms, also a relative of King Zahir Shah, was the Taliban's unofficial envoy to the United States and arranged for various Taliban officials to visit the United States. Laili Helms' base of operations was in her home in Jersey City on the Hudson River. Ironically, most of her work on behalf of the Taliban was practically conducted in the shadows of the World Trade Center, just across the river.

Laili Helms' liaison work for the Taliban paid off for Big Oil. In December 1997, the Taliban visited UNOCAL's Houston refinery operations. Interestingly, the chief Taliban leader based in Kandahar, Mullah Mohammed Omar, now on America's international Most Wanted List, was firmly in the UNOCAL camp. His rival Taliban leader in Kabul, Mullah Mohammed Rabbani (not to be confused with the head of the Northern Alliance Burhanuddin Rabbani), favored Bridas, an Argentine oil company, for the pipeline project. But Mullah Omar knew UNOCAL had pumped large sums of money to the Taliban hierarchy in Kandahar and its expatriate Afghan supporters in the United States. Some of those supporters were also close to the Bush campaign and administration. And Kandahar was the city near which the CentGas pipeline was to pass, a lucrative deal for the otherwise desert outpost.""
