POPSDo US Internment Camps Really Exist? The really big question is which one of us reading this will be interned in one of these camps? Considering the size and scope of the ones we know about, compared with the already 1 in 100 prison population we currently have, you have to imagine that the near future will see a much higher ratio. Can you imagine 1 in every 50 citizens in a camp or prison? Hell, even 1 in 75 would be astounding. With a ratio that high you can be assured you are someone you know will be classified an "Enemy Combatant." Also, since REX 84 handed us over to NORTHCOM, we no longer have any sovereignty any way. It's all very frightening when you start questioning the reasons behind this sort of wholesale US sell out.

POPSIraq Contractor Shakeup A sort of good news/bad news thing. The good news is that Kellog, Brown, and Root (KBR) -- a Halliburton subsidiary who have really, really sucked -- is losing the exclusivity to its contract. The bad news is that it looks like it'll result in even less oversight, aggravating an already corrupt system of contractor funding.

POPSContractor Atrocity--It's Lying ... and It's Murder: How KBR Electrocuted US Troops
"... and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. These deaths did not come while the soldiers were on patrol or by unexpected encounters with downed "hot" wires. These "accidents" happened in facilities used as base camps for U.S. units, camps that were to have been completely refurbished - including the wiring - under terms of a $30 billion no-bid contract awarded to the one-time Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg-Brown-Root). The deaths reportedly all were the result of shoddy workmanship in the grounding of electrical sources, both in permanent structures and in machinery when in use. The problem is not new: in 2004, Army units in theatre were alerted concerning the potential for accidental electrocution. American electricians working for KBR in the war zone observed and notified KBR and even the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), the office that monitors contractor performance, of numerous instances of poor workmanship by undertrained and underpaid Iraqi and Afghan "e

POPSKBR in Iraq dodges paying taxes KBR's top competitors in Iraq do not appear to have gone to the same lengths to avoid taxes. Other top Iraq war contractors - including Bechtel, Parsons, Washington Group International, L-3 Communications, Perini, and Fluor - told the Globe that they pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for their American workers. KBR has almost completely stopped hiring Americans anyway, even though they receive $16B in American taxpayer dollars. Bosnians were preferred to Americans, but now even they are being replaced by workers from India - cheaper labor. Any hiring of an American has to be justified in writing.
