Anyone know what this is about?
A friend in New Zealand told me about it.
Seems they are trying to overthrow the Crown?

A couple of surfing chums are down there and are concerned but they say that the "feel" is Ok and the military taking command of popo stations is of little concern to locals. ITO

The Kennedy's are probably the most worried. Every dime the Kennedy family has is hidden in Fiji.......Teddy is probably having an extra martini at lunch today

I understand people are taking their money out of banks there, waiting to see what happens.
I would think if the Kennedy's did have money there, it's long gone.

Oddly enough there have been three coups in the last 19 years. This one stems from granting amnesty for those involved in the 2000 coup.

Message boards seem to favor the general roughly 2:1. Of course much of these are people in other lands like some guy in Monterey California. They seem to think the general is better on race relations.

The Kennedys own huge chunks of McDonalds, Sears and Citicorp among other lesser knowns. Thier more public holding is Voranado realty. A REIT traded on NYSE.

They own Airle Mutual funds as well. The quiet brother Christopher handles family business.

They own Washington DC. 80 Buildings. And a sizable chunk of Manhattan.

Their the largest owners of Commercial Real Estate in America.

They owned Haleigh park you know? The track we were talking about the other day. Old man Joe bought that back in 1930's. Kennedy's loved the Pony's.
