http://peace. tv/peaceactivist For coverage of Halliburton and its KBR subsidiary's involvement in Iraq and other corporate accountability, see Halliburton Watch, which links to numerous reports by CorpWatch, congressional committee investigations, related books etc. Bribery Halliburton officials have been accused of coordinating a scheme to bribe Nigerian government officials over a period of years in association with the Bonny Island liquid natural gas (LNG) project. Bribing foreign governments is a criminal offense under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Albert Jack Stanley, a company official who was later fired by Halliburton after investigators say he received $5 million in "improper" payments from an outside attorney working for the company -- Jeffrey Tesler. The Independent (UK) reported that "Mr Stanley had been appointed to his senior role at Halliburton by Mr. (Dick) Cheney when he was chief executive between 1995 and 2000." (The Independent, Oct. 3, 2004.) The Wall Street Journal confirmed that Cheney "named Mr. Stanley … to a top post at the company in 1998." (Wall Street Journal, Sept. 29, 2004.) Stanley reported to David Lesar, then Halliburton's president and chief operating officer, and currently the company's CEO. Lesar reported to Cheney when Cheney was chief executive. (Dallas Morning News, Sept. 8, 2004.) (Important Note: Lesar is an accountant and former Arthur Andersen partner, meaning he may have been in a position to ask about the purpose of payments to Tesler when they occurred.) According to the Dallas Morning News, "Mr. Cheney ran Halliburton when one of four suspicious payments occurred." (Dallas Morning News, Sept. 8, 2004. )
DFA Night School - The Political Mind w/ George Lakoff Night_school_logo_thumb Type: Conference Call Event Date: Jul 17, 2008 Event Time: 5:30 PM EDT
Agenda:
Ever wonder why simply stating our positions on the hot button issues isn't enough to win votes? Or why Democrats who try and adopt conservative stances on issues usually lose their elections even in conservative districts? Professor George Lakoff has the answers and will show us how to frame the solutions during the next Night School. Thursday, Professor Lakoff will be our special guest trainer; highlighting specific thinking points from his new book "The Political Mind" and teaching the framing progressives need to know to win. Join us "Live from Netroots Nation" at a special time: 5:30pm Eastern.
Evidently, Obama is just as phony as everyone else in Washington, and voted against the American people and the Constitution by supporting Bush's warrantless wiretapping.
