Fact Or Fiction: Raytheon CEO To Obama "It's Getting Out Of Hand In Libya"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Fact or Fiction...

WALTHAM, MA - Using the subject heading “you should definitely check this out,” Thomas A. Kennedy, CEO of the defense contractor Raytheon, reportedly emailed President Obama today with yet another link to an article detailing mounting tensions in Libya.

 

“Hey Barack, just thought you might be interested in this,” read the email, the sixth such message sent from Kennedy in the past month, in which he CC’d Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and provided a link to a recent CNN story about ISIS gaining a foothold in the Libyan city of Derna.

 

“Looks like things are really getting out of hand over there. A lot of people are saying it could destabilize the whole region.”

 

Sources confirmed that several minutes after sending the email, Kennedy received a curt reply from Obama indicating that he had already seen the story earlier in the week when it was sent to him by executives at Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, ATK, General Dynamics, and Boeing.

Clearly the above, courtesy of the Onion, is fiction. Here is the fact.

Guess which country's companies make more money on war than any other's? http://www.fastcodesign.com/3042669/infographic-of-the-day/infographic-a... by @DrCrypt via @FastCoDesign

Surprising no one, the United States makes more money on war than any other country. Really, it's not even close.

Hence we have been in a state of perpetual war since WW2.  Hence the never ending "threat" of Al-Qaeda, excuse me I mean ISIS, like the New Coke and Coke Classic.  Same shit with a new name.

Down arrows are funny.  Anyway, I wouldn't give Guilani any credit for stating an obvious fact that most people who are plugged in to reality have known for years.  And just in case Rudy is reading the comments in here today, BHO wasn't ust being raised by Commies, his father is/was a member of the CPA who was basically being cased by grampa Dunham (no relation to the mess who is  flaunting her lack of assetts on HBO every Sunday night).  His name is Frank Marshall Davis.  Google him and tell me he's not a ringer for the CIC's pop.  So if Rudy wants to make people think he's up on what the real story is he better start reading, he's got alot of catching up to do.

And isn't it interesting that we are at a point that things are getting so fucking weird that an Onion headline sounds like an actual event.  How many CEO's wish they could pick up a phone and say to him, "What the fuck Barry?  I've got thousands of employees over there and you're taking selfies of your fucking self on the clock!"

AMERICAN MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
US govts come and go, however aggressive foreign policy always remains the same.
Had the USUK conquest of Western Europe 1943-45 not occurred, the Red Army would have paused at the Pyrenees, and then pushed through to the Atlantic, toppling Franco on the way, thus completing ‘Vladivostok -> Lisbon’ empire. AMIC saves Western Europe from communist domination - debt to AMIC expected to be paid in perpetuity by Germany, Italy, and France. Western European countries unite with the US to halt westward expansion of Soviet communism.
AMIC objectives after collapse of Soviet empire:
1. Promote EU/NATO eastward expansion
2. Prevent Russian economic integration with Europe
3. Suppress EU initiatives to supplant NATO
4. Consolidate control over Middle-East oil reserves
5. Contain Chinese military power in Asia
AMIC fear and insecurity over ‘Vladivostok -- Lisbon’ economic block/alliance.
AMIC has many operatives and installations across Europe including Ramstein, Aviano, Bondsteel-Kosovo.
AMIC distrust of Western European operatives/elites in Germany, France and Italy.
AMIC insecurity over the long term future of NATO
AMIC monopoly control of geostrategic maritime passages - Bosporus, Gibraltar, Suez, Gulf, Panama, Malacca etc.

People, you all f*cked up. It is not the US military-industrial complex needs Obama. No, the Tribe needs the US military-industrial complex. 

Without he US military-industrial complex, the Tribe and its headquarters in the City and Israel will be gone in no-time. It is like a regular mafia, i.e., as soon as its armed goons gone the fear is gone and mafia gone. It is that simple.

"...Without he US military-industrial complex, the Tribe and its headquarters in the City and Israel will be gone in no-time..."

That is, until Israel's Big Six threats are neutralized: Libya-Egypt-Lebanon-Syria-Iraq-Iran. After that, Israel can kick U.S. taxpayers to the side of the road. The Leviathan gas will be fowing to the EU by then and Iraqi oil will be shipped from the Haifa terminal. 

Bibi (between standing ovations by treasonous dual-citizen Israeli-firster congressmen) will remind everyone once agian about Iran's threat to their existance.

As confirmation, I offer the following recent hilarious military exercise by Iran: Iranian speedboats taking out a wooden U.S. aircraft carrier:

IRGC Missiles Destroy Mock Aircraft Carrier in Persian Gulf

Six weeks (or months - I forget) away from a nuclear bomb and they're drilling on taking out an unaccompanied U.S. aircraft carrier with speedboats. Sorry Bibi - I'm honestly not too worried about their nuclear weapon engineering skills. Unless they plan to lob chunks of uranium ore at enemy aircraft carriers from their speedboats.

 

Somewhere in the Persian Gulf Iran stages 'nuclear' attack on a U.S. aircraft carrier:

Landing Signal Officer to Arresting Gear Officer on deck: "OWwww! That Iranian fucker in that little boat just threw a ROCK at me...WTF??"

One of the best methods used to obfuscate the truth is to present it as fiction BEFORE it is exposed as the truth.

 

Can "The Onion" be a CIA COINTELPRO Operation since the CIA controls the press?

 

Who is to say that Corporate Executives within the Defense Industry do not have a direct line to the President?

 

I would be surprised if they did not...since it pertains to the interests of "National Security".

Drones and conventional bombs/missles are probably to most cost effective.

But, bombing from above does little to actual win a war.

Hell, in order to win this war we have to kill every single muslim, and I think there are a few billion of those roaches hiding in caves and section 8 housing.  I think Raytheon will be in business for a long time.

They're not trying to fix anything! They're deliberately destabilizing entire regions to go in and take control. The "war on terror"is a war for oil in Iraq and Lybia just as much as WW2 was a race to secure the Arab states into the Standard Oil game plan.

The Colonel was respected and held authority far beyond Lybia. His biggest trading partner, Italy was about to launch the oil for Euro trade which would have been a desaster to the USD and America.

All this nonsense about loyalty and allegiances to the US doesn't benefit anyone. The sooner we realize that the US is the biggest enemy of all men and women in this world, the sooner can we discuss real progress and international peace.

“Raytheon CEO is asking the wrong person, he needs to ask the Tribe”, by “SickDollar”.

Ten to one the “tribe” has his testicles in a vise grip; same for executives at all other munitions makers.

After all, what should we expect from a “tribe” that has been perpetrating genocides and mass plunders for 5,000 years – at least.

I prefer to call them ‘Judeo-Bolsheviks’.  They weren’t always known as such.  According to my research, they first appeared as Elamite priests, merchants and money lenders.  They then moved west and took the name Babylonian, then “children of god”, the “chosen ones” et cetera – and now, the title, ‘Judeo-Bolsheviks’, fits them very well.

Here is an examination (derived from pages of The Los Angeles Times) of one of their more recent operations (Russian slaughter); complete with mass genocide, general plunder, and mass exodus.  You’ll also need a copy of the Old Testament by your side; otherwise you may not believe what you read.

Wow, what would this region be like if Dick Cheney and his braintrust hadn't turned it into a sea of thriving democracies?  Their foresight was spot on...

Hope and Change baby, hope and change.  Obama will go down as the President who "lost" the middle east.  Let them Sunnis and Shias go at it, lopping each others heads off and tossing bodies in the street.  Maybe we will see a serious reduction in the quantity of these savages as they martyr each other.  Once they finish killing each other one or the other will end up on top then maybe they want to "do business".  Until then, arm both sides.  The "best" war over there to me was always "The Iran Iraq" war.  Nothing like some suicide bombers in the middle of some of those massive petrochemical complexes to change the price of oil.  Or maybe the fall of the House of Saud.

The destruction of Libya, like that of Iraq was a warcrime and crime against humanity.  Both countries were far better off under their dictators, especially Libya.

he is using the wrong heading on the email...Obama wont feel the urgency to open that..that thing might get opened and read in a few weeks.

If you want him to open it first thing in the am then the heading has to be golf related to catch his eye

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.  It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." - Major General Smedley Butler

I think we can do better than ISIS if we try.

Maybe we could get some cannibals to take over in Libya and really get some things hopping.

No, it's going as planned. Create a power vacuum. Arm ISIS rebels to fight our foes in Syria, Egypt and Iraq. Let it all go to hell so we can come back for another war.
