Pride Cometh Before The Fall

snip

Next Wednesday, May 18th, the Halliburton corporation will have its 2005 annual general shareholder's meeting at the Four Season's hotel in downtown Houston Texas. The company's Chief Executive Officer, David Lesar, will give the shareholder's a report of the company which talks about profits, production and pride. He will talk about the large amount of profits which Halliburton and its subsidiaries have made from no-bid contracts in Iraq. He will talk about producing services that support the American military's occupation of Iraq.

Lesar will not talk with pride about the company being under constant scrutiny for Enron style accounting with U.S. tax-dollars, corporate cronyism and war profiteering. He will not highlight how DOD Audits find that Halliburton has overcharged U.S. taxpayers by $212 Million!

In the days preceding May 18 and out in the streets the day of the shareholder's meeting, an alternative meeting will be taking place as people from around the region and country will converge to demand accountability from the "poster child" of war profiteering. Not only will anti-war and economic justice activists be creating a loud spirited non-violent protest, but the voices of the unheard will be in attendance as well.

The goal of this next week is to bring a new spirited resistance to Halliburton's corporate occupation in Iraq. Currently, Halliburton and their subsidiary, KBR, provide essential services to support the occupation of Iraq. They provide food services, laundry services and delivery services. They have been tasked with rebuilding Iraq's oil infrastructure.
