 Gulfstream cools Gulfstream Aerospace are having a four week shut-down due to a slowing in orders for their business class jets. The Irish Government recently wanted to buy two of their jets but we should be glad they didn't as Gulfstream is wholley owned by war supplier and convicted fraudster "General Dynamics". General Dynamics earned $13.8 billion in 2002. The company makes war machines, information systems and technologies, War ships , nuclear submarines, war planes and business jets . http://www.generaldynamics.com/ Good to know the government is using our money to support the "Good Guys". In fact they are not good guys at all but a bunch of lying thieves ......Gerneral Dynamics, I mean! They were convicted in 1998 by the Environmental Protection Agency(US) and fined for pollution: the improper disposal of PCB-contaminated clothing. They were convicted again in 1999 and fined over $12million for polluting a canal. The US Navy in 1991 found General Dynamics guilty of "mishandling sensitive information" regarding defence contracts. Again in 1993 they were convicted of contract espoinage and fraud relating to a Navy aircraft contract. More fraud again in 1995 against the American people when the US government fined them for ,"overbilled the Government for testing F-16 fighters ... " There was also another conviction for "Procurement Fraud" in 1995. When they are not busy spying to steal contracts, polluting and ripping of the government and clients they even have time to rip off their own "loyal" employees. In the Los Angeles Superior Court in 1996 , "... former employees ... claimed they were promised an equity interest ... and were not compensated when the assets and liabilities were transferred ... ." . This cost General Dynamics $40 million . Earlier in 1996 they were fined over $2.5 million for age discrimination. You can see why our government gets on so well with these guys. Birds of a feather!
