Ever wondered how the Bush
administration keeps the money flowing in?...
The Associate Press
reports:
"Dozens of members of President Bush's security
team assembled after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are
now working for companies that sell security products and services
to the government agencies they once helped manage.
The Times found that at least 90 former officials in the department
and the White House Office of Homeland Security now work for
companies that do billions of dollars worth of business in the
homeland security industry."
Just to flesh this out a little, the following appears to be the Bush
administraition's recipe for job and wealth creation:
Fabricate a threat to the nation by way of a staged terror attack
(9/11)
Use it to justify the creation of entirely needless new security
agencies and give top level jobs to your friends
Launch a war on the imaginary enemy and perpetrator of the staged
terror op and invade several sovereign states of your chosing
Plunder the wealth of said states by having your military destroy the
country's infrasructure and then offer no-bid contracts to your
corporate cronies to rebuild what your military destroyed. Make it
obvious to your corporate cronies that they don't really need to do
any actual rebuilding, they just need to make it look like they are
rebuilding. Do not question the outrageous price charged by your
corporate cronies.
When the public has become bored with scaremongering security alerts
and is looking the other way, scale back needless security agencies
and the temporary jobs they provided
Transfer your friends to new jobs in companies owned by your corporate
cronies whose coffers are bursting at the seams with ill-gotten gains
Repeat until you have robbed the world blind and killed most of its
inhabitants through war or starvation.
