Members of the Octopus profit from global war. They finance both sides and make a killing. The soliders and civilians lose. There's only one group of winners, and they're all playing for the same team.   more... Bush and the Neocons haven't even bothered to change the names to confuse people. It's the New World Order and the Project for a New American Century now. They know that most people are too young to remember and too stupid to study history. They engineered the 9/11 attacks so that they could profit from the war on terror. They're not trying to win the war in Iraq, they're trying to prolong it. They're awarding no-bid contract to their friends and jacking up the price of oil. It's a naked power grab, and it's all about money. They've been lying to you. They showed you cartoons and called it news. You lose, and they win.  less

Things are going gang-busters for Blackwater, the world's premiere private army. They've got a nice chunk of the booming security business in Iraq -- the estimated 180,000 private contractors now exceeds   more...the number of troops in the country and, as Jeremy Scahill points out on the front page, firms like Blackwater are "flush with profits."
But that's only a tiny slice of the pie: Blackwater recently introduced its own armored vehicle, the Grizzly Armored Personnel Carrier; Blackwater Airships is building a remotely-piloted vehicle; the company's global air service, Presidential Airways, holds a secret facility clearance from the DoD -- I'm sure they have nothing to do with any extraordinary rendition -- and the mercenary outfit recently announced that it was starting a private intelligence firm to rival the CIA.
It's a great time to be an unaccountable killer in a three-piece suit!
And the company's training operations are spreading. From its headquarters and primary training facility in North Carolina -- you can get some excellent sniper training there, I hear -- to "Blackwater North" in Mount Carroll, Illinois. And now the firm is trying to open a sprawling new training facility in California.
Specifically, in tiny Potrero, California, a berg in San Diego county with a population of fewer than 1,000.
What exactly does the infamous war profiteer want to drop the following in the middle of an idyllic piece of the California countryside? Glad you asked ...  less

This clip shows how Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans and I believe people have forgotten the words that have come out of the so called "Democrats"... Both Parties are anti American   more...and only want Power and Money and most of all "CONTROL OVER THE MASSES". Our system is a One party system and it not the party by nor from the people! These traitors need to be dealt with accordingly and not continually voted into office,Which too is rigged! I really wish people will wake up but they won't! How many people read this far....  less

Vietnam would be the worst strategic disaster in our nation's history.
Over 500,000 American soldiers died and for nothing.
It was a Political war to Combat Communism and it blew up in the
Governments face.   more...Not to say Afghanistan was right, but it’s by
no means the biggest mistake. We just need to stop going to war
over bullcrap reason and open our eyes for once.
The world can see it, why can't we as Americans All See IT?

Fans of Greenwalds work, of which I am one, will also be aware of
His production company, Brave New Films. And how very fitting that
company's title is,

Our soldiers get killed with little if any press. They are underpaid,
Under protected, Under trained and sent to serve in a backdoor draft in
an illegal war so Halliburton and other war profiteers can make
Billions.
They write home for socks and food. Their families are paying for their
Body Armor...if they can. Are u not disgusted and outraged??
U should be! Impeach Bush and Cheney NOW

By now, I would assume you already know that Vice President Dick
Cheney was the Chairman and CEO of Halliburton, following his work in
the Nixon administration. And, as capable as I am of doing so, I will not
belabor that point.

But the number of former government and military personnel working
at Halliburton, and vice versa, goes way beyond that, as Greenwald
indicates here.

When I was in the service, the biggest thing getting outsourced to
Private Companies on base was the chow hall. Now there are
Private Companies doing just about Everything the Military is;
Including the Fighting:

But that, as they say, is another story...
