[Zepps_News] #Feinstein profiteering

 

 

 

 

" According to The Center for Public Integrity, Senator Feinstein's

husband Richard Blum has racked in millions of dollars from Perini, a

civil infrastructure construction company, of which the billionaire

investor wheels 75 percent of the voting share.

 

In April 2003 the US Army Corps of Engineers dived out $500 million to

Perini to provide services for Iraq's central command. A month earlier

in March 2003, Perini was awarded $25 million to design and construct a

facility to support the Afghan National Army near Kabul. And in March

2004, Perini was awarded a hefty contract worth up to $500 million for

" electrical power distribution and transmission " in the southern Iraq.

 

Senator Feinstein, who sits on the Appropriations Committee as well as

the Select Committee on Intelligence, is reaping the benefits of her

husband's investments. The Democratic royal family recently purchased a

16.5 million dollar mansion in the flush Pacific Heights neighborhood of

San Francisco. It's a disgusting display of war profiteering and the

leading Democrat, just like Cheney, should be called out for her offense. "

" Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking

about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order.

Nothing has

changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists,

we're

talking about getting a court order before we do so "

-George W. Bush, April 20, 2004

 

Not dead, in jail, or a slave? Thank a liberal!

Pay your taxes so the rich don't have to.
