The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.
KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees.
In collusion with "BIG OIL", of course. Those rigs and platforms were strategically placed just to steer the Hurricane in...
snik, gak, grmpf, Bwahahahahahahaha!
(Sorry I just couldn't say that with a straight face....)
Grossly affect the moisture content of a 'largish' airmass MOVE that 'largish' airmass into a desisred, predetermined position
Significantly shift the jet stream into a desired, predetermined position
CONTROL the speed and direction of aforementioned jet stream
Cause the 'at will' movement of cold, polar-originating airmasses into the 45 degree to 32 degree latitudes Do all of the aforementioned with coodination and timing such that the convergence of the jet, warm, moist gulf air and a cold 'front' apear over a desired, predetermined area
Shhhhhhh. If they told you, they'd have to kill you.......
When I worked for my dad on govt funded jobs with Minority Business Enterprise MBE extortion-set asides..
we just paid them off to shuffle paperwork thru them to satisfy the MBE inspector
it was my job to placate them
the MBEs (black and latino) did nothing but get paid enough to cooperate
on these level pipeline jobs (oil and gas transmission) we were doing there simply were no firms in the oil pipeline services industry minority owned capable of even the sub jobs...I mean you might find a pipe fitter here and there with a truck
...for 100 mile pipeline projects(?)
usually some local black or Tex-Mex politician would have a shell company set up to just run money thru and they could soothe the MBE officer who was often some urban planning degreed activist asswipe
this was 1980 in Texas
often Brown and Root...owned by Halliburton now was the Construction Management firm
Brown and Root was really big in the Vietnam War.
I'm sure the libs would rather stay in the dark.
bttt
Those people suffer from a serious cognitive/reality disconnect. Cat 4 or 5 hurricane winds vs the choppers.......There'd be bits of airframe in Illinois....
is Onyx ever coming back?
When they start threatening suicide again, please ping me.
I thought something was weird when I heard the radio announcer say Cheney was 'at an undisclosed Hurrican-making location' Hmm.
I love it.
Someone just called Noory and told him Halliburton has contract and hes starting to drool.
I think it's double standards all around. Where does it end, when we all go down the toilet?? Why should we stoop to that level, if we do, we're no better than they are.
Tee hee. Let's make some popcorn and watch the fireworks :-)
Full Disclosure: Prayers for those hurt by Katrina and those who help. Prayers, too, for the thugs and looters, and incompetent pettifogging govt. officials who get in the way of help.
Well they're used to being shot at.
LOL, they better take guns with them!
Good Lord!
LOL...I'm gonna trot over to my WWL (Whiney Wimmen's List)and see if they're melting down.
We will soon see the breaking news of how Karl Rove hired voodoo artists in New Orleans to invite Katrina.
That discussion burned out quick.
Not only that, a certain percentage of the work should be set aside for woman and minority owned companies. /sarc
