So Vice President Cheney's' old company, Halliburton, is moving its HQ to Dubai. Aren't we all happy Dubai does not control our ports? But why would a mega multinational company working with our Government (LOGCAP) need to leave the USA? Doesn't our country have the best economy in the world for large corporations? To avoid prosecution by the next admin.? Leave the USA to protect our military? Or is it to prosecute the war on terrorism in a manner that is against US and international law, but does not apply to private organisations?
In 2001-2 Halliburton signed the LOGCAP deal with the US government. This contract gave them a supporting roll to all military operations, globally. Halliburtons ability to have prepositioned resources in all of its 120+ countries it works in made this a possibility. By 2004 over a quarter of our military support in Iraq was Halliburton. This contract also set a percentage of profit based on the expense of the job (the more they spend, the more the percent profit.) In the past few years we have seen the mercenary force in Iraq become the most well equipped and well trained (mostly ex-military) army in theater. What does it add up to?
To me it seems that this company has 'raped' our economy, from the inside, for the past 7 years and from lobbyist far longer. No company has profited greater or will profit more from the proliferation of the war on terror. And now they are moving to Dubai. This is very suspicious indeed.
Is Halliburton trying to avoid investigations that could destroy key members of our government? Or just getting closer to the "action"?
Halliburton is two companies now. It has a branch that deals primarily with mining (oil, natural gas, water, ect...) the other with infrastructure issues on a global scale. Prisons, schools, stadiums, pipelines anything real big or small...they can build. This second part of the company has the LOGCAP contract and the largest merc. force on earth.
It sounds to me that the USA is preparing to 'Outsource the War on Terror'. At the very least it is sending Dubai a company that the US has invested the future welfare and ability of our troops to wage war and come home safe. The roll of American Troop Support should not ever be in the hands of a foreign based organisation that we cannot prosecute or oversee in any way!
For the last few years the USA has become a "front" for the Hilliburton mega-corporation. This company embodies all the things that fuel global hate towards America and our policies of political manipulation through food and/or investments. The Terrorists war on American ideas is more precisely a war on Halliburtons policies of economic control of key locations that will be key to the proposed global power grid. (In the future moving the resources to make energy will cease. Instead resources will be processed into energy at the location of extraction and just the energy byproduct will be exported) The middle east will be a HUGE player in this market...standing on bunches of oil and between Africa and Europe, china and Russia. And Halliburton building and owning all the necessary infrastructure, would be a global economic power capable of controlling nations though economic manipulation.
Cheney has no progeny to leave his fortune to (gay daughter is not a source of great pride for him I'm sure). He isn't working for world peace or any other 'noble' causes. Seems he is working for Halliburton. He has been sick and wont be long on earth so don't think it is greed. I think Cheney was just the man with the vision for his Halliburton realizing the true power of a corporation. A company that has much more global power than most countries, and in fact, controls the infrastructure of many nations. But has no country. No laws to abide by. No way to destroy it.
Halliburton and Blackwater is a Global Economic Terror Organization. It has its own military (in Blackwater), has distanced itself from over site and more importantly has a plan. It was able to hijack the Republican party and the Pentagon and perpetuate fear to 300+ million people over the tragic death of 2500 on Sep. 11. (Not to belittle the 4 million less HUMANS in Iraq and Afghanistan than there would be if we never attacked, [from an episode of Real Time: whith Bill Maher...march 2007-ish])
To be short the ONLY groups benefiting from the war on terror are Halliburton...and certainly Al-Qaeda. Although, if our government can outsource the war on terror it sure would cut down on public anger. But what happens when the USA leaves and the most powerful force in region is a corporate mercenary organization?
Our troops should be supported by a company that must abide by American laws and over site. To allow Halliburton to maintain its LOGCAP contract and move to Dubai is irresponsible and unforgivable!
A matter of National Security!
