Thread: Halliburton (Cheny and Bush) Here we go!

What ought to shock and terrify every American is that KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, was awarded a $385 million contract to build "temporary detention facilities" in case of an "immigration emergency":

"The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other U.S. Government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster. In the event of a natural disaster, the contractor could be tasked with providing housing for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) personnel performing law enforcement functions in support of relief efforts."
Anyone paying a little bit of attention will ask, "What immigration emergency?" If there is an immigration emergency looming on the horizon it is a big secret. Of course immigrants will be the first ensnared in the net that big brother Bush has in mind, but the net won't stop with them.
What sort of national emergency requires detention centers? America has plenty of prisons. More of our population is behind bars than in any country on earth. There are detention centers for immigration in existence already. As for helping in case of a natural disaster, hurricane Katrina proved that saving American lives is not on the Bush agenda.

When the word detention comes up, hairs should rise on the back of every neck. Thanks to the Patriot Act and the creation of "enemy combatants" these detention centers can be used to lock up anyone for any reason for any length of time that Uncle Sam wishes.

In the best case scenario, this contract may be just the latest hand out to the welfare queen of corporate America. It is a sad day indeed when we must hope that good old fashioned greed, and nothing more, is at work with this latest theft from the United States treasury. Even if greed is the larger part of the equation, the threat of taking our rights and subjecting us to fear cannot be far from the minds of Dick Cheney and his ilk.



Bush has successfully used fear to stay in power and quiet the ineffectual opposition. When questions arose about the legality of warrantless wiretaps, suddenly Bush revealed a three year old plot to crash a plane into a Los Angeles skyscraper. This announcement was even news to the mayor of Los Angeles, leading the cynical among us, the smart people, to ask if such a threat ever existed in the first place.

What sort of national emergency will trigger the beginning of detentions? Probably not Mexicans heading for the border. If Democrats show uncharacteristic boldness and begin impeachment proceedings against Bush, we will begin to see Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib on U.S. soil.

The endless war on terror would no doubt be a pretext for detentions of immigrants or Americans. Just ask Jose Padilla, the American citizen accused of planning "dirty bomb" attacks. Actually you can't ask Padilla anything. He hasn't seen the outside of a jail in years. An entirely new category of criminals, enemy combatants, was created to justify endless incarceration. If our government is planning to create more Padillas, Halliburton
definitely needs a new contract.

You can look it up, if you dare. Searching for the words "Halliburton" and "detention" may bring more than you bargained for.

I suggest that there is far more here than meets the eye. We may want to learn to defend our property and have enough food to keep us going for a time. I know I live in SLC but what else could detention centers be for?

There is something that Bush is not telling us. We may need to battle in the streets to save our country. Maybe Bush is going to detain the United States Citizen or maybe he is going to protect Congress and the Senate in those detention centers. Maybe we should ask him.

I understand they could be used for any uprising or even if there was some type of catastrophic event. They may come to be used for Americans fed up with their government.

Halliburton is not cheap. When Clinton was in office and I was working on contract in Europe, Halliburton was the highest bidder on a contract and was not even providing all that was needed. My boss got a call from a civilian in the pentagon and was told that we were to select Halliburton regardless. All politicans have interests in these groups. It doesn't matter what party they all point their fingers while they fingers are just as dirty. Where are the honest politicans? I gave up several years ago looking for one.

Paige...........we need links to the information you have printed here.

The only link Paige has to provide is the link to the information that cites Haliburton's contract to build these detention centers, the rest is up to us.

Well, I'm not trying to give you guys false hope, but my gut tells me the American voice is too hot for our government to handle and they know they are going to have to bend to the will of the people, and they're getting ready for it.

Good-bye, all you border jumpers!!!!!!!

Here are some links to the Halliburton Story.

The problem with this Illegal Immigration problem is this is just the tip of the iceberg. The American Citizens need to know that this is a very serious matter not only the problem with the Amensty Bill but also with everything else that the government is trying to slide under our noses. We need to show the government we mean business about this Amensty Bill to avoid all the other things that Bush is doing. The message needs to be shut the government down, do not let them pass anything until the people vote.

With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack.

In a new National Security Presidential Directive, Bush lays out his plans for dealing with a “catastrophic emergency.â€
