Vertex Aerospace LLC, formerly Raytheon Aerospace LLC, was acquired by Veritas Capital, a private equity investment firm, in 2001. The company changed its name from Raytheon Aerospace LLC in June 2003, but Raytheon Company (its former parent) retains about a quarter of the company.

Vertex Aerospace LLC has its headquarters in Madison, Miss. The company is considered one of the leaders in aviation and aerospace technical services, and its 6,300 employees operate in 42 states and 32 countries. About 95 percent of its sales are for the U.S. government, and its annual 2001 sales totaled about $500 million.

From 1997 to 2002, Vertex Aerospace (then Raytheon Aerospace) received around $2.1 billion in U.S. government contracts.

Former parent Raytheon, which maintains an interest in Vertex Aerospace, had more than 5,300 contracts with the U.S. government from 1990 through 2002 worth nearly $58.5 billion.

How insulting is this.

Bremer had two lieutenants on the economic front: Thomas Foley and Michael Fleischer, the heads of “private sector development” for the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). Foley is a Greenwich, Connecticut, multimillionaire, a longtime friend of the Bush family and a Bush-Cheney campaign “pioneer” who has described Iraq as a modern California “gold rush.” Fleischer, a venture capitalist, is the brother of former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Neither man had any high-level diplomatic experience and both use the term corporate “turnaround” specialist to describe what they do. According to Foley, this uniquely qualified them to manage Iraq’s economy because it was “the mother of all turnarounds.”

Ex- Dublin city manager John Fitzgerald, who may be remembered in the Fair City as
the bureaucrat appointed by FF to oversee the estimates and ensure the liquidation
of local 'democracy' in the absence of agreement on the annual estimates..... has been

'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' (Martin Luther King)

The IPSC was set up in late 2001 by a group of established Irish human rights and community activists, academics and journalists who were deeply concerned with the current situation in the Occupied Territories. In partnership with Palestinians now living in Ireland the IPSC was formed to provide a voice for Palestine in Ireland.

The Dutch governement does not care what happens in their country. Children are kidnapped even from abroad (also from Ireland) and put in jails, madhouses and are exploited sexually. Even as young as 7 or 8 year olds! The governement funds this! They also want to legalise paedophilism and have child prostitutes pay tax on sex like all over 18 prostitutes do in the Netherlands.
The governement wants the young below the age of 25 to fend for themselves so they are planning to cut all forms of social welfare to the under 25 year olds.
Now THEY TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO THE OLD AND POOR! The social housing has to go in order to sell these houses for profit. The elderly and the poor flee their houses after years of harrassment and bullying. They are forced to leave their belongings behind. The ones that stay are forced out by the police. Anyone actively helping like the organisation “De Algemene Kraak Vereniging” is arrested. read full story / add a comment

Waikilaf has been in jail for over 2 months now. He was not convicted and does not await a trial, much like Owen Rice here in Ireland.
Waikilaf has been tortured. Burns from boiling water can be seen on his back.
