The Military Industrial Complex
Multi-national corporations and private banks control our press and government. Please check this out:
The major media networks are all owned by different corporations. These different corporations are all grouped together through the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), or the industries involved in weapons manufacturing, reconstruction, energy, and every other business necessary to the military. Corporations have a "Board of Directors (BOD)" but the same people may serve on multiple Boards for different corporations.
Trireme Partners company - Set up by Richard Perle and Henry Kissinger, Trireme invests the money of wealthy individuals into weapon companies, who get large government contracts and raise their stock prices. They know who's getting the contracts (insider trading). The defense industries and the companies under this massive umbrella corporation normally have ties to government employees. Kissinger didn't call it insider trading, he called it 'guaranteed speculation'. BOEING - John H. Biggs is on the BOD for both Boeing and JP Morgan & Chase. John E. Bryson is on the BOD with Boeing and Disney, who owns ABC. Linda Z. Cook, the CEO of Shell, is also on the BOD of Boeing. LOCKHEED MARTIN - Lockheed is comprised of mainly ex-military and ex-government employees in the defense industry. In the 70s, Lockheed paid a mobster $2 million dollars to launder money for Lockheed. The Japanese government got money from the very same company that built the planes that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. Dick Cheney's wife was on the BOD of Lockheed until 2001. Lockheed for the past 7 years in a row has gotten the largest government contracts (tens of billions of dollars). GUESS WHO GETS THE TOP DEFENSE CONTRACTS
OIL
"One of Israel's largest oil marketing firms has won a multi-million dollar tender to supply fuel to US troops in Iraq. According to a IsraelNationalNews.com report, the tender awarded to Sonol gasoline company, along with its foreign partner Morgantown International, is valued at $70-80 million. The company is expected to supply the US forces with 25 million litres of fuel each month. The tender was issued by the US-based KDR Company, a subsidiary of Halliburton, which has been entrusted with the majority of US military contracts in Iraq." "According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a statistical agency of the US Department of Energy, Israel produces almost no oil and imports nearly all its oil needs (around 237,000 barrels a day in 2002). Traditionally, major oil import sources have included Egypt, the North Sea, West Africa and Mexico." ... Information provided by the EIA states that in April 2003, there was some discussion of "reopening" the old oil pipeline from Mosul in Northern Iraq to the Israeli port of Haifa on its northern Mediterranean coast. The line, which was built in the 1930s, carried 100,000 barrels a day at its peak, but has been closed since Israel's establishment in 1948. The reopening of this pipeline is, on the other hand, reported as being able to 'solve Israel's energy crisis at a stroke'." Our senate voted on the new bill for Defense spending: 100 for and 0 against it. Important sections of this bill: (Sec. 8024) Authorizes DOD to incur obligations of up to $350 million for DOD military compensation, construction projects, and supplies and services in anticipation of receipts of contributions from the government of Kuwait. (Sec. 8082) Earmarks specified RDT&E funds for producing Arrow missile components in the United States and Arrow missile components and missiles in Israel to meet Israel's defense requirements. Here is a rejected Amendment: (S.AMDT.4875 to H.R.5631) To increase by $200,000,000 the amount appropriated or otherwise made available by title IX for the purpose of supplying needed humanitarian assistance to the innocent Lebanese and Israeli civilians who have been affected by the hostilities between Hezbollah and the Government of Israel. "8/3/2006 Amendment SA 4875 ruled out of order by the chair" - Government source (see the bottom of "Amendments"). They can spend money to build the missiles but not to help civilians wounded or left homeless by them. These corporations aren't just American or Israeli. Most are multi-national (no loyalties to anyone). The money awarded to the companies by the State-issued contracts is not just the allocation of our tax money; the government spends far more than that even when military spending consist of over half our tax money. They borrow money by buying bonds from the Federal Reserve, which America has to pay interest on, in order to pay for the MIC. We have an 8.5 trillion dollar national debt. The central banks lead us to the same Neocons who wrote the plans for foreign policy (PNAC and ISCB) and collect from the investors.
