Iraq
Several companies are making billions off of dead US soldiers and dead civilians while Oil companies are manipulating oil flow keeping the supply artifically low. This is not Capitalism, this is Criminal.
********Excellent article! Gives comprehensive coverage of the Lockheed "family tree"..a list of their members in power and how much they control what goes on in this and other countries, how they sold the Iraq War and are now making $$$$, how their agenda and not the masses shaped policy after 9/11 (this is a prime example of how corporations are way too powerful and will create the downfall of mankind, our country has sold out, this article even briefly mentions the amount of money we give to Israel...oh and all seven pages are work safe and now you can honestly say "I look at Playboy for their articles!")
******151 Congressmen are profiting from the Iraq War
****Olbermann talks about them ripping us off and screwing the troops
****Halliburton/KBR get away with Rape. Literally. Jamie Leigh Jones was gangraped then threatened for whistleblowing. And her rape kit "mysteriously" disappeared. This is what your tax dollars are paying for Folks!
*****Part 1 of 2 of the top 7 wastes of Taxpayer money (unfortunately the author thinks this is mostly incompetence instead of friends helping friends get richer) And the even better Part 2
*******What you'll learn in this article about USA War Profitering and American War Profiteers: black market dealing, phony invoices, ripping off the tax payers and government, Bush administration defending them and stopping lawsuits, congressional action, and overruling guilty verdicts from jury trials, overcharging, double billing, "losing" or unaccounted for money, instances where these sick actions !!!HURT THE TROOPS!!!, inflating troop counts so they could overcharge, unfinished jobs, made up companies, aiding the "enemy"--another way of hurting US troops, death threats to potential whistleblowers, and sadly more RANT: People have killed unemotionally for (documented number) under $10,000 (probably less), so what would people do if they had a chance to be set for life and then some?, and could buy anything they imagine, and for those who crave power could have that too....what would these people do to create this situation? Start a war? Help create a false flag attack? And it doesn't take a huge grand conspiracy...in fact it would take less than the number of people our government says is responsible for 9/11. So it would be LESS OF A CONSPIRACY to believe 9/11 was an "inside job." Also, look at who has gained more power, more money...not "Al-Qaieda", not Bin Laden (who has never says he hates us for "our freedoms" oh by the way....read the hundreds of transcripts over the last few decades). Occam's razor--Follow the Money....both usually correct cliches work here. Like I said, all you need is a few dozen people, everyone else is just "doing their job" while many just complain about their boss or work without doing anything about it. They are given facts on a "need to know basis" (and that may be a military or CIA term, but it applies in every single "normal" job I've been a part of), while some workers do whatever necessary to please their boss in hopes of more money or climbing the ladder while others simple do it over misplaced loyalty to their company. People listen to the Bossman, and the entire media and government is only run by a few. It only took a dozen or so men to create 9/11, everyone else was simply doing their job. END RANT
****This video describes how Halliburton is poisoning the troops in Iraq through their water supply.
***Halliburton Income More Than Doubles
******Author, businessman and Republican turned Independent Karl Schwarz, provides interesting behind-the-scenes details of the players and events on the global scene. (Investment Banker Karl Schwartz lays it out: #1 The Caspian Sea Basin (Kazakstan, Turkmenistan etc) holds between 11 and 12 TRILLION dollars in oil and gas resources #2 There are only three ways to get it out: East to China, West through Iran, Russia, and Turkey to Europe, South through Afghanistan and Pakistan# 3 The Taliban who controlled Afghanistan before 9/11 made pipeline deals with non-US companies and refused to change them to give control of the region's resources to the US.)
*****The DoD has declared War on NarcoTerror and is looking to outsource (read: privatize) it even more (meaning that corporations will continue to increase their wealth as we all know these type of wars are neverending)
**Two new defense contractors are lining their pockets with our dollars as there are now more contractors in Iraq than soldiers (and they are putting our soldiers in danger)
***Now it's 15 BILLION dollars of our tax dollars unaccounted for by the Pentagon
****Greg Palast (with the help of some mis-sent Rove e-mails) reports on some of their vote fraud techniques, inside info on the attorney firings, and how they are limiting the supply of oil to keep the prices high to make even more MILLIONS, I mean BILLIONS, I mean soon to be TRILLIONS. Here is a portion of his video interview on Democracy Now.
***Vermont Peace Activists Occupy General Dynamics Weapons Plant
******A quick rundown on the ultra powerful MIC. Remember what Eisenhower said.
****Oops! $700 million embassy has all sorts of construction problems. The US government won't fire their friends, plus I'm sure there was no contract clause for faulty work. Meaning: much more work for these illegal corporations that us taxpayers will have to shell out the cash for.
****Soldiers still getting charged for equipment...some of which they couldn't have possibly even seen let alone use or break (Get it through your heads: the administration and the Corporations making bank off of the war DO NOT care about the troops)
*****Crying marine tells how Halliburton is poisoning their water in Iraq (by taking short cuts to achieve even greater profits...even though they are already making unimaginable sums of money FROM US TAXPAYERS!!! YOU are a terrorist helping murder innocents overseas and YOU ARE NOT supporting the troops by paying taxes and letting the government get away with this.)
***Good essay on the corporations milking us and the Iraqis dry and our administration is not only letting them but profiting from it as well (Shouldn't the Iraqis be getting the nation building contracts? Fixing their own country and making money from it as well?)
*Straight from the front lines in Iraq, THE WAR TAPES is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves ("After about 20 minutes into it, one of the soldiers complains about Cheney and KBR. One said "why are we here protecting KBR?" (Kellogg Brown & Root) "Them making money is more important than the soldiers lives." "Dem. CA Senator Diane Feinstein's husband sits on one of the boards of KBR.")
*Cheney, Blair, BASE, and Saudi Arabia in a war profitering collaberation
***How the Bush Family Profits from Endless War (Carlyle Group)
Chevron holds talks with Iraq to build facility
*******Another excellent Sibel Edmonds movie and how it ties in to pretty much everything. If you want to know about our "secret government", you need to know her story. It strongly ties in with the Iraq war, War profiteering, among many other government activities. Here is a quicker but less detailed rundown.
******Vanity Fair exposes one of the most powerful companies and possibly the most secretive and unknown to the public-- the SAIC, which is located by the CIA (coincidence that SAIC is CIAs backward? Doubtful.) Touches upon the beginning of the MIC, the players, stock manipulation of sorts, helping start the Iraq War, the involvement of Wolfowitz's girlfriend, no-bid contracts, lying to the foreign press, unethical, illegal, and unsafe practices, multiple examples of ripping off americans while whistleblowers were fired, faked scientific data which they were found guilty of making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" (a mere slap on the wrist was their punishment), failing contracts, screwing veterans, and more. A truly horrible company that WE THE PEOPLE should figuratively burn down.
***The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror
*Case shines light on how war contracts are awarded; info on some more inside players
*BP purposely let their oil pipes corrode
***Attempts to privatize (read: rip off tax payers and screw veterans so the corporations can make as much as possible) Walter Reed care Senator Max Cleland who often visits Walter Reed is pissed off and the government claims "oops" but it was really a designed mistake
****Dianne Feinstein: democrat, chairperson and ranking member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee (MILCON) which her husband was also involved with, makes deals that helps corporations (such as in Iraq) and restrict the masses' freedoms (such as the Patriot Act), another horrible corrupt politican. (the worst part: she badmouthed Jello Biafra :)
**Keeping the oil in Iraq underground and untapped on purpose
*Congressman Jim McDermott speaks up and says that we are in Iraq for the oil and the war profiteers (he is partially right)
***Halliburton gets another pass, Americans and Iraqi pay the price and this as well
