Perpetual warfare and Neocon profits...

I've known about Halliburton's corruption for some time now, but I just
recently learned the existence of a similar large company called Bechtel
that has extremely close ties with the Neocons that have seized control
of our government.

Like Halliburton, Bechtel gets lots of huge no-bid contracts for various
construction projects in foreign countries. While Halliburton is busy
grossly overcharging for repairs to infrastructure damaged by U.S. bombs,
Bechtel works on overseas construction projects that are funded with U.S.
aid. If a country is useful to the USA, it might get aid in the form of
dam or bridge or something else that it needs that is big and expensive.
Then Bechtel gets the contract to build the dam or bridge and the U.S.
government gives Bechtel eleventeen billion dollars to build it and since
the local costs of materials, labor, bribes, etc. are so variable that it
is easy to skim lots of money into Swiss bank accounts. Rounding off the
spreadsheet figures to the sixth decimal point still leaves hundreds of
thousands of dollars at a time that are rounded off into Switzerland.

And Halliburton is especially disturbing, in that it gets the contracts to
repair the damage done by U.S. artillery. If U.S. government officials
like Dick Cheney are profiting off those contracts, what incentive is there
for them to stop the war in Iraq? Didn't some unpatriotic and treasonous
former U.S. president who didn't support our troops warn America about the
danger posed by the Military-Industrial Complex?

I heard Bechtel supplied India with the equipment to make nuclear
weapons. And then India made nuclear weapons.

What Military-Industrial Complex, there never was such a thing.
Eisenhour was a conscious agent of the international communist
conspiracy, or so I've heard.
