It's time to start digging into the Cheney/Halliburton connection some more.

I think so too - looks like Halliburton is EVERYWHERE;

Involved in building detention camps in America.

Involved in numerous frauds in so-called RE-building of Iraq.

Involved in serving contaminated water to U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

Involved in selling Nuclear technology to Iran.

Involved in first light-water nuclear reactor in North Korea.

Involved in re-building after Katrina.

Just to name a few cases...


Question is, what Halliburton is NOT involved in since the start of the War of Terror.

So how are their stocks doing these days?

Cheney's Halliburton stock options rose 3,281% last year

An analysis released by a Democratic senator found that Vice President Dick Cheney's Halliburton stock options have risen 3,281 percent in the last year. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) asserts that Cheney's options -- worth $241,498 a year ago -- are now valued at more than $8 million. The former CEO of the oil and gas services juggernaut, Cheney has pledged to give proceeds to charity.

Cheney continues to hold 433,333 Halliburton stock options. The company has been criticized by auditors for its handling of a no-bid contact in Iraq. Auditors found the firm marked up meal prices for troops and inflated gas prices in a deal with a Kuwaiti supplier. The company built the American prison at Guantanamo Bay

Looks like mister Dick is doing GREAT!

Well somebody has to make money, while people die.

Halliburton WATCH

Good thing Halliburton HQ have moved out of U.S.

From Houston to Dubai.

Which means, that thez will be paying less taxes to the U.S. Treasury, even as it collects billions from government contracts.

Wow, so most of the public has no idea that these events even existed, scary thought.

Not really the info is out there... Mother Jones and Utne Reader do an excellent job in reporting stories like these. Thing is the mainstream media hates it when it is pointed out that the emperor's lapdogs have no fur. so they squish any stories that make them look bad or worse, foolish.

Decided to REVIVE this topic, because I feel it is important for people here and there and everywhere to talk about the issues written here.

Here - let me start with one;

The World Bank Funds Israel-Palestine Wall

Cementing Israeli Apartheid: The Role Of World Bank

US Free Trade Agreements Split Arab Opinion

Despite the 2004 International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision that called for tearing down the Wall and compensating affected communities, construction of the Wall has accelerated. The route of the barrier runs deep into Palestinian territory, aiding the annexation of Israeli settlements and the breaking of Palestinian territorial continuity. The World Bank’s vision of "economic development" however, evades any discussion of the Wall’s illegality.

Defending Palestinian Food Sovereignty against Occupation and Expulsion

WORLD BANK PROPOSES OILING THE PRISON GATES

Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign Fact Sheet

The Apartheid Wall, a massive land grab which is causing the forced expulsion of Palestinians, is tearing apart the West Bank and isolating hundreds of thousands into ghettos.

World Bank and US: Palestinians Should Pay for Israeli Checkpoints

"If they are going to be funding the checkpoints outside of places in the Green [Line], then it's clearly a violation of international conventions and law," said Terry Walz of the Washington-based Council for the National Interest, a group that monitors U.S. and international policy toward Israel and the Palestinians.

"I must admit that making the Palestinians pay for the modernization for these checkpoints is an embarrassment, since they had nothing [to do] with the erection of the separation wall to begin with and in fact have protested it. I think the whole issue is extremely murky right now."

And it still does not matter.

People of Palestine are too busy fighting among each other these days - and in the mean time, I am more then positive, that the building of a Great Wall between Israel and Palestine has and will continue without any problems at all. So far it is much, MUCH higher and longer then the Berlin Wall...
