Rumors are spreading of shady dealings related to the financing of George W. Bush's presidential. Is a scandal about to burst?
Many observers have reported on the growing interest granted by the senatorial commission of inves- tigation to the role played in this affair by the senator Adam Greenberg, then attending the collection of the funds.
The origin of almost twelve million dollars remains highly suspect. It is true that, on closer scrutiny, large doners may be responsible, but their donations are suspected as illegal.
For instance, the "Church of the Followers of Fenris", whose 2821 declared members made donations of more than a thousand dollars each to the senator Greenberg at the time of his visit to their Texan ranch, for a total of three million. There would be nothing suprising about this unless one considers that the majority of the sect members are broke.
Let's put aside two other million gathered near great fortunes of Louisiana, members of the Cajun Club, chaired by Adam Greenberg senior, the father of the senator Greenberg. The origin of more than seven million dollars remains obstinately obscure.

Does it come, as claim mysterious sources which drew the attention of the commission of investigation to the senator Greenberg's methods of funds collection, from a series of phantom associations masking the foreign origin of this large sum of money?
This is not unlikely considering that most of the associations in question are of recent origin and are not at all permanent, for some are already dissolved. They have been established in Louisiana, most are headed by the Cajun Club and frequently share the same postal box; moreover, their telephone numbers usually lead to answering machines or do not answer at all.
Another weird occurence is that some of these associations were particularly active at the time of the senatorial campaign of the candidate Adam Greenberg, in 2000. Greenberg senior has, according to the rumors, put pressure on the Republicans so that they agree to be represented by his son, politically inexperienced at the time of these elections...
As many elements suggesting that a serious scandal will soon follow the legitimate doubt that occupies the minds.
