Doing Business With The Enemy - 60 Minutes

[dArKeR]

Did it ever occur to you that when President Bush says, "Money is the lifeblood of terrorist operations," he's talking about your money -- and every other American's money?

Just about everyone with a 401(k) pension plan or mutual fund has money invested in companies that are doing business in so-called rogue states.

In other words, there are U.S. companies that are helping drive the economies of countries like Iran, Syria and Libya, all places that have sponsored terrorists. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reported on this story last January.
"The revenue that is generated from the work that these companies are doing, we believe, helps to underwrite and support terrorism,” says William Thompson, the New York City comptroller who oversees the $80 billion in pension funds for all city workers.

How could any moral, honest or objective person rationalize the above story with the below story being published the on CBS? Wouldn't any moral, honest or objective person have to come to the conclusion 90% of the American Media are liars and/or GOP moles?

Republicans have gathered in New York to nominate President Bush for another term. Two GOP stars, Sen. John McCain and ex-Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani, will laud Mr. Bush as a strong leader who can best protect the U.S. from terrorism.

Nuclear Insecurity

These were tests in which U.S. Special Forces, playing the role of terrorists, armed with simulated weapons, would try to penetrate the facilities, steal imitation nuclear material, and then escape. The security guards there were expected to stop the attackers.

“Overall, the test results that I was responsible for showed a 50 percent failure rate,” says Levernier. “If you understand the consequences associated with the loss of that kind of material, it would make the World Trade Center event of Sept. 11 pale in comparison.”

Linton Brooks, head of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), oversees the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons facilities -- where some 10,000 nuclear warheads and the tons of plutonium and highly enriched uranium used to manufacture them are stored.

2. Republicans

Are businessman.They are also narcissist bullies ,They are loyal to no one but their own power,money,"success" gotten always at the expense of the world's pain.
If we knew the real agenda of groups like the WTO or saw the black budget's reasons,we would not be so inclined to trust, obey and believe anyone who declares them self"leaders"anymore.They know this so they hide from public view and rely on secrecy,patents,laws,cronyism to get away with their exploiting of billions.

To get the kind of power these monsters use to insulate themselves you must have the stomach to be as immoral as they are.To people entering business or politics it will dawn on them their soul is being sold bit by bit for power,money,sex,perks,ego..Eventually I hope,more people learn to understand that the "leaders" the powerful and super wealthy have no souls."success" and power kills the soul.
All you see is a fake image when you see a politician,,nothing about politics is real, honest or genuine.Leaders are liars.Honesty is not in the interests of those who are in the ruling class.To them we are servants,expendable,tools sex toys, money maker dupes, living objects for their use,abuse, pleasure and profit.
They do not see us as their equals.
The heart of republicanism is INEQUALITY,theft and domination.
