Re: [CTRL] DynCorp In Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War
-Caveat Lector- To find what is truly amazing about DynCorp, you need to read the data dumps posted at www.Newsmakingnews.com especially as this corporation connects with the huge portfolio of investments managed for Harvard University by Capricorn Investments (Herbert S. Pug Winokur). Pug's investment companies were also involved in managing investment portfolios of properties bought with profits derived from money laundering operations like the Arkansas Finance and Development group funnelled through Mena. Control over a part of this loan portfolio would have been transferred had the loan sales program designed by Catherine Austin Fitts been implemented. Her program, designed to resell these loans to legitimate mortgage servicing companies, was targeted by a HUD contractor who could only have been a cutout for the boys managing the Mena operations and for Harvard (another money laundering device). Their job was to keep the loans from going to the highest bidder--who turns out to be Goldman Sachs--who would have gained access to the files connected to the dirty loans. This is how money works in America today, and unless we start to understand it, we'll never understand how all these strange conspiracies fit together. It is very difficult to understand mortgage loans and how fraud works. It helps to get a picture of the day to day affairs by reading Al Martin's book The Conspirators. But keep in mind that this day to day detail fits into a bigger framework of accumulating money to finance the New World Order. Now if we could only figure out who's behind the curtain, who's pulling the strings for Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Hillary who IMHO are cutouts from someone else. Could it be the shareholders of the Federal Reserve Banks? DynCorp makes its money doing enforcement contracts for the NWO infrastructure and assets being created with these dirty funds. In addition to the Plan Colombia operations, they make money on government contracts, such as asset forfeiture seizures of property belonging to innocent citizens who are trying to keep the world right-side up. My advice is for you to read until you understand the documentation for these ideas at http://www.newsmakingnews.com/catharvarddatadumpindex12,4,00.htm Linda Minor -Original Message- From: radman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 6:30 PM Subject: [CTRL] DynCorp In Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War By far the largest U.S. contractor company in Latin America is DynCorp, headquartered in Reston, Virginia near the CIA, and Pentagon. It hires and places many ex-military personnel, but is actually much more diverse and more high-tech than that. The company's website promotes it as an Internet Technologies corporation. DynCorp describes its areas of expertise as Information Systems, Information Technology/Outsourcing and Technical Services. Once you dig a little deeper, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary high-tech start up. According to its own literature, DynCorp's expertise spans more than five decades - encompassing events from the computer revolution, the Space Age, the Cold War and conflicts from Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. Through these times, we have dedicated ourselves to providing customers with the best and most educated solutions. Our IT experience has evolved with this ever-changing industry, and we continue to offer our clients solid solutions based on this evolution. DynCorp has worked with domestic and foreign government agencies to provide successful information, engineering and aerospace technology solutions. As a result, few companies understand the public sector like DynCorp, or can boast a government client base with the depth and breadth of ours. Indeed, government contracts account for 98% of DynCorp's business. It contracts with more than 30 U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense, State Department, FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency, Bureau of Prisons, and the Office of National Drug Policy. About half of DynCorp's revenue comes from the Pentagon and many of its employees are retired military men. The rest of the contracts are mostly with civilian government agencies. According to its website, last year it generated more than $1.8 billion in annual revenues, a $4.4 billion-dollar contract backlog and more than 20,000 employees in more than 550 locations. CEO Paul Lombardi recently boasted to the Washington Technology website that he projects 2001 revenue will top $2 billion. Like many transnational giants DynCorp has gobbled up some of the competition. In 1999 it acquired GTE Information Systems which has helped the company pursue government mega-contracts. Since 1997, DynCorp has operated under a $600 million-dollar State Department contract in Latin America. But, according to its contract with the State Department, recently acquired by CorpWatch, mission deployments may be made to any worldwide location, including

-Caveat Lector- lasseyAgain, why are these people down there? Surely NO one believes any gov't really wants to win the drug war. If they really wanted it fixed it could have been fixed by now. But I don't believe that is the plan. Like the Vietnam war: we didn't win because it was never intended that we should win. The troops were not allowed to win. It was a farce. 'Ya right, 2.8 million dead Vietnamese and multiple times the tonnage of bombs dropped in all theatres of WWII, and that wasn't enough to beat the VC.

[CTRL] DynCorp In Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War
-Caveat Lector- CORPWATCH www.corpwatch.org May 23, 2001 DynCorp In Colombia: Outsourcing the Drug War By Jeremy Bigwood A U.S.-made Huey II military helicopter manned by foreigners wearing U.S. Army fatigues crash lands after being pockmarked by sustained guerrilla fire from the jungle below. Its crew members, one of them wounded, are surrounded by enemy guerrillas. Another three helicopters, this time carrying American crews, cut through the hot muggy sky. While two of them circle, firing machine-guns at hidden enemy, one swoops down alongside the downed Huey, and the Americans jump through the wash of the blades into the firefight on the ground, successfully rescuing the downed crew members. It could be a scene from a soon-to-be-released Hollywood blockbuster based on the war in Vietnam or El Salvador. But, it happened in Colombia last February, as part of the U.S. $1.3 billion intervention called Plan Colombia. The Americans who braved the bullets were members of an armed airmobile Search and Rescue Team. However, they were not part of the U.S. Armed Forces, but civilian employees of a private company called DynCorp, the new privateer mercenaries of a U.S. policy that now outsources its wars. Like the old English privateer pirates of the Caribbean five hundred years ago, sailing under no national flag - robbing and plundering Latin America's riches for the English Crown, Washington now employs hundreds of contract employees through U.S. corporations to carry out its policies in Colombia and other countries. In the old days, the British maintained that because the pirate ships did not fly the English flag, the Crown was not responsible for their actions. While the new privateers are underwritten through U.S. taxes, they are technically contract employees. Like the sixteenth century pirates, if they get caught in an embarrassing crime, or are killed, the U.S. government can deny responsibility for their actions. What's more only a select few in Congress know of their activities and their operations are not subject to public scrutiny, despite the fact that they are on the government payroll. It's very handy to have an outfit not part of the U.S. armed forces, obviously. If somebody gets killed or whatever, you can say it's not a member of the armed forces, former U.S. Ambassador to Colombia, Myles Frechette told reporters. Meanwhile, Former Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey recently described himself as an unabashed admirer of outsourcing. And there is an economic consideration too. Deploying high ranking active duty military officers to staff Colombian operations is far more costly than hiring retired officers working privately. A U.S. government official, who asked not to be named, said that there were several reasons that the U.S. government outsources projects: [Outsourcing] can be a flexible, cost-effective means of providing specific labor-intensive services on a short-term basis. Once we hire government workers, they are here forever. Some of these jobs are only short-term. Outsourcing belligerent activities on the part of the U.S. government is not new. It goes back to the Revolutionary War. Many such companies were involved in the Vietnam war, but they were only a minuscule presence compared to the major military effort by the U.S. there. What is new is that now contract employees are in the forefront of operations. In the Colombian war, private outsourced military men are out on the frontlines, while the real U.S. troops are hidden on bases as trainers. The exact number of contract employees in Colombia is not known. A recent State Department report states that there are only 200 U.S. military soldiers and about 170 American contractors working in Colombia.
