So we all know that Halliburton (see-Dick Cheney) got tons of no-bid contracts in Iraq and are getting rich (stock is worth 10x what is was in 2001, recently split, and testing record highs). Some of you may know that through a deal with the Saudis, Halliburton receives $20,000 for every dead U.S. soldier. Some of you may know about other things Halliburton is responsible for, that would probably get me a nice email from the Department of Defense if I were to publish here.
But let's take a look at one small aspect of what they're doing, potable water supply. Here's a nice little video for you all to watch. ![]() If the DU (depleted uranium) doesn't kill or debilitate them for life, it looks like the water will.

But... that means Halliburton are no more than hired guns - or hired poison in this case. They kill for a premium.

I'm not surprised. Not at all.. and I fear this is only the beginning. You know the biggest threat is overpopulation and these guys and their buddies are nuts enough to find some really nasty ways to keep populations down..
although some of the stuff sunds like it is wayyy "out there" , a good read is "Behold a Pale Horse" by the late William Cooper. he was shot during a raid by the Marshalls- who were looking for drugs and guns- which they admitted was not there- hmmmm....

Of course, what I said above might sound odd.. I read it because it was interesting subject matter. Another one that is REAL good is "Rule by Secrecy"- although I can't remember who wrote it.. lots of stuff on Haliburton, the old Skull and Bones club, and things that everyone should wonder about..

You hit the nail on the head. You think the world is in bad shape today? Imagine what the food crisis would look like if the population were 4X what it is now! It could easily be 24 billion if we hadn't had so many population control devices working in the last 70 years. I'm not saying I like the idea of population control at all, but just imagine how bad it would be if there was worldwide peace and none of the other things designed to control the population. It's a slippery slope on both sides of the argument unfortunately.
![]() Indeed, a good read. I picked it up back in 1993 or so and have read it a few times over the years. It's amazing how some of the things Bill spoke about are now impossible to deny.

It's sick, the things that go on underhandedly. And its no wonder why the majority of other countries hate the USA. In their eyes, it is all of America doing this, just like all middle eastern people are terrorists (sarcastically spoken).
It makes you wonder what the History books will say about this time era when it is all said and done. Let's just say that I don't think that they will hail us all as the just defenders of democracy that "we" say that "we" are. ![]() |

I have no problems whatsoever with the PEOPLE of a country- they are workers and farmers just like folks in my own neighborhood in the USA.
I remember years ago my father had purchased an authentic Persian Rug from somewhere (forgive me- it was years ago and my father travelled all over the world several times over) - some folks we know had voiced concern over "funding the other side" - where my father answered (and I remember this to this day as it moved me) that as far as he was concerned he had just purchased a beautiful rug that fed and clothed an entire family of 4 farmers and weavers for a year- and that family is working for the money for the food and clothes by weaving and farming- not by building missiles- and the hatred the world believes is really more between differing governments than in the people of any Country who are only trying to live for another year. The family that made that rug could care less about who is in charge of Jack in the USA.. so long as nobody hurts them and they can get what they need to live for another year. It's all a shame really- we have everything at our disposal to feed and clothe and give clean water to everybody in the world in exchange for oil or whatever.. the whole frickin thing makes me sick to my stomach.. but then again- I see the tremendous situation with overpopulation and how it eats away at resources and everything is tipped WAY IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND GOD HELP US ALL WHEN IT ALL TIPS BACK.. anyhow.. my apologies- am rambling again.. LOL

I wasn't saying that "we" all are in fact bad, or that "they" are all bad. I was just merely observing how, as you said, the struggles and fights are between the people in power. And how, to often, the media, and all of the other voices out there making noise, want us to think that this or that people group cause all of the strife in the world. All of us regular people (all countries included) just get drug into these struggles most of the time. And, yes, I agree, GOD HELP US!!
