Robert Greenwald’s on-line video on Henry Kravis, partner of leveraged buyout and private equity firm, KKR, “Fight the War on Greed,” does not mention the European Union’s allegations in its lawsuit against one of KKR’s buyouts, RJR Nabisco.
Following are links to help you integrate the European Union’s allegations which, if true, mean a portion of Kravis’ personal wealth comes from stock market profits driven by global money laundering for narcotics trafficking operations of Latin American drug cartels, the Italian mafia, the Russian mafia and Saddam Hussein’s family. The costs in both time, money and heartache per person of narcotics trafficking and the war on drugs are profound. You may want to factor those in as you watch Greenwald’s description of relative economics.

The allegations regarding the real deal behind KKR’s first mega-buyout success makes you wonder what the intelligence and enforcement agencies of Europe could tell us about KKR’s other companies, government support, backers and investors.
One wonders why state and municipal public pension funds — a leading source of financing for KKR’s deals — are doing business with these folks and financing this kind of lifestyle — or worse– with the retirement savings of teachers and public employees.
If you are a teacher, public or municipal employee and want to check with the state pension funds in your state to see if they are investing your retirement savings to finance KKR and firms like it, try this master link to find the link for your state pension fund website where you can find information about investments and who to contact for more information:
