Bush, the War Party, and the War Profiteers
I'm working on the next installments of Neil Lisst comic, and will be addressing Bush, the War Party, the War Profiteers, and the root causes of the war in Iraq and the Plamegate Treason Scandal.

I want to share a couple of resources you might find useful.

And here is a list of the top defense contractors and how the money breaks down. Notice under GE the money going to NBC.

1. Here's one for you:
Rummy is the biggest shareholder in Gilead, the company that owns the Tamiflu patent (he holds on the order of $20 million). Roche, Gilead's licensee (who pay Gilead 10% of gross) just sold $58 million dollars worth of Tamiflu to the Pentagon. For bird flu? Well, Tamiflu is ineffective against the bird flu strains isolated so far.

4. These days everyone is bought off.
TV journalists want TV face time, and they will shape what they say because of it. The shilling by News people for the White House is nonstop now.
