MEXICAN MOVERS AND SHAKERS IN "THE DOMINION"

Investor in TV Azteca, second-largest TV network in Mexico. Isaac Saba recently took over a large share of the Anciras' business in Mexico.

Behind the imposing stone arch, the Ancira family's neighbors are a who's who of Mexico's corporate and government power structure. The Zambrano-Treviños of the giant cement firm CEMEX bought property there, as did the head of Mexico's Hotel-Motel Association and half a dozen other big shots. Many of them paid cash. Even the new President of Mexico's brother, Rodolfo Zedillo, bought his Dominion house for cash in October 1994, right around the time he started an $8 million business deal funded by the Juárez cartel.

Plague of the fatcat lobbyists
They roam the halls of Congress like a pack of ravenous wolves, licking their chops and turning the Democratic process into a mockery, a sham where thieves rule and any hope of good government lies trampled in a mass of bloody, unrecognizable pulp.
They’re the fatcat lobbyists of Washington, a plague of predators that number 19,000 plus and 65 percent of whom draw salaries of $100,000 more a year. Collectively, they spend more than $1.5 billion annually telling members of Congress what bills they want passed or defeated and how to vote on each.
And they subvert, corrupt and control our so-called Democratic Republic by buying influence and votes and controlling Congress and the White House through their narrow interest greed. And many of them will do anything to secure votes and put members of Congress in their pocket.
“Lobbyists” get their name from the pack of influence peddlers and crime bosses who used to sit in the lobby of Washington’s Willard Hotel and wait for a drunken President Ulysses S. Grant to emerge from the hotel bar so they could descend on him like wailing banshees and talk the soused President into just about anything.
Nowadays, laws are supposed to regulate the activities of these bottom feeders but the law is a sham and lobbyists can still secure votes with big campaign donations, invitations to golf weekends, trips on private jets and women on call
The agribusiness industry spends more than $75 million a year lobbying Congress. That’s the same group that hired Washington party girl Paula Parkinson to “lobby” key members of the House and Senate. Parkinson admitted having sex with eight members of both houses, including former Senator (and Vice President) Dan Quayle, Tom Railsback of Illinois and Tom Evans of Delaware.
Sex isn’t the only tool at a lobbyist’s disposal. Family connections help. Consider Randy DeLay, brother of scandal-ridden House Republican Whip Tom Delay. Until his brother was elected to a GOP leadership job, Randy DeLay helmed the failure of four businesses – a restaurant, two oil ventures and a beach resort property and he filed for bankruptcy in 1992.
But his life changed in 1995 when brother Tom became House Republican Whip. Suddenly, DeLay the failed businessman became DeLay the hotshot lobbyist courted by Houston Lighting and Power, Mexican cement monopoly Cemex, Union Pacific Railroad and the city of Houston. These clients and others paid Randy DeLay more than $750,000 over the next two years.

CS1 CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
1.1 Introduction: relationship between organisations and
environment; benefits
The construction industry has a major impact on the environment, both in terms of
the resources it consumes (chalk/limestone and clay) and the waste it produces (eg
gaseous emissions, cement kiln dust). Environmental impact of construction is also
felt in terms of pollution mainly due to processing of construction materials. For
further information on the sector generally and its environmental impacts see the UK
Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) website.
CEMEX is the world’s larger supplier of construction materials and one of the largest
cement producers and hence it is a good example to illustrate this case study.
Founded in Mexico, CEMEX has operations extending around the world, with
production facilities in over 50 countries. The company is involved in the primary,
secondary and tertiary activities of the industry: it extracts and processes
aggregates, produces cement, ready-mix concrete, asphalt and concrete products
and is involved in the distribution of its products in the market.
