  • Nothing new under the sun

    I give up, what is missing?

    In any case, the fact that the Bush family themselves are interested in windfall military contracts has long been noted and is discussed on this web site:

    Mainly through the Carlyle group, the Bushes have a tendency to funnel money to themselves through not one, but many “contractors”. The most infamous, at least in relation to the current discussion is the Bush interest along with Bin Laden family interest in the production of anthrax vaccine through Carlyle groups stake in BioPort.

    The Carlyle Group, headquartered in the nation's capital, specializes in seizing control of shaky aerospace and defense contractors and then strong-arming, some say blackmailing, contracts out of the Department of Defense. An investor in the Carlyle Group has been George Herbert Walker Bush. The Elder Bush has been a paid consultant to the Bin Laden Group, helping them with his CIA links. Bush helped create Osama bin Laden as an American CIA bought and paid for alleged "terrorist", originally dubbed a "freedom fighter" to wear out the Soviets in their prolonged war, 1979-1989, in Afghanistan

    In the wake of the most current anthrax scare, on 9/11 the government created BioShield to rebuild the vaccine industry. But as we might have predicted, current “legit” vaccine producers have been left out of the windfall.

    All one must do is find out where the anthrax “biosecurity” money is actually going and the anthrax case is self explanitory. There is nothing new under the sun.
