today,
end February: the ongoing continues with this one being a proud little motherfucker, as WHY THIS secondrate poet DOESN’T LOVE BIG BUSINESS have reached a jubilee part 40, about the same day the deathtoll of American GI`s in Iraq reaches 1500.
Well then its good to know that there`s stand up dudes running companies like Halliburton, which this week by the US Army, was approved to receive subsidiary bonuses for their work in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though the US administration havnt yet approved final cost and terms of the contracts. Bingo!
Halliburton (formerly headed by Dick “don’t be one” Cheney) have among other bonuses received a 4.4 million dollar bonus for a 758 million dollar of logistics work in Kuwait in support of the war in Iraq, 5 million dollar bonus for logistic work in Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, in total a 9,4 million dollar bonus. A 10 million dollar bonus for yet non-supported cost. On behalf of the taxpayers- heyho wonderland!

Having in mind what superwoman Naomi Klein concluded after having vistited Iraq and American contractors in general in the troubled Middleeast-region: She documented that 60 percent of all projects, industrial, buildings, whatever…inside Iraq were spent on security-measurements, thus leving crumbles for the actual planned activities.
Moreover, regarding the election on January 30th, she also emphasised the fact, that in the spring of 2003, only month after the invasion, Iraq per se, experienced a – in perspective – much more peaceful and hopeful time, than now, and in fact there were elections in many local and rural areas seeking out to establish local governance and democracy. Elections which for a large part were overruled by interim dictator Paul Brenner and a company called Research Triangle Institute – based in a business complex in North Carolina – hired by the US administration to write the new Iraqi constitution, even before the invasion.

These facts in mind are among the numerous reasons that Naomi Klein, called the US engagement in Iraq for a “free fall”, and why she did not speak of the resistance as “insurgents” but a an national rise against the occupation, an intafada, which have escalated proportionally with the disclosure of the US agenda in Iraq: The Free Money; The Market and The Oil. Year Zero! The extreme makeover.

good intentions dont do the trick
