Lockheed Sees $28 Billion From Saudi Arms Sales; $50 Billion to Boeing

Posted on by

“The massive US arms deal with Saudi Arabia signed last month by President Trump is continuing to drive up arms makers’ stock, though at present the exact dollar values for specific companies are a matter of some speculation.  These companies and other well-connected US arms makers are all expected to make quite a bit of money off this new arms deal with Saudi Arabia, as well as more money off of President Trump’s planned military spending increases. As the chance of peace suddenly breaking out looks more and more remote, the arms makers are expected to continue raking in money hand over fist.”

I was a Saudi arms dealer’s ‘pleasure wife’

Posted on by

“Billionaire Saudi Arabian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi is best known for his roles in some of the most infamous political scandals of the 1980s. They include the Iran-Contra affair (he was a key middleman in the arms-for-hostages exchange) and accusations that he concealed funds alongside Philippines First Lady Imelda Marcos.  But the 81-year-old, who now lives in Monaco, was also a womanizer with multiple wives and a bevy of beautiful girls at his beck and call. Among them was young American model Jill Dodd.”

Congress to ‘fight’ 0.1% of massive Trump Saudi arms deal

Posted on by

“Trump has said he wants to encourage international weapons sales as a way to create jobs in the United States.  Saudi Arabia agreed to buy $110 billion of U.S. arms, with options running as high as $350 billion over 10 years.   The lawmakers aim to block about $500 million of the sale, the portion including precision-guided munitions and other offensive weapons.  ‘Given Saudi Arabia’s past support of terror, poor human rights record, and questionable tactics in its war in Yemen, Congress must carefully consider and thoroughly debate if selling them billions of dollars of arms is in our best national security interest at this time,’ Paul said in a statement.”

FBI Building National Watchlist That Gives Companies Real-Time Updates on Employees

Posted on by

“Employers are even offered the option to purchase lifetime subscriptions to the program for the cost of $13 per person. The decision to participate in Rap Back is at employers’ discretion. Employees have no choice in the matter.  There are no laws preventing the FBI from using the data it collects for other purposes, said Jeramie Scott, an attorney with the Electronic Privacy Information Center. A massive trove of digital fingerprints collected by the FBI, he noted, could be used to open up devices like smart phones without the owner’s consent. In addition, Scott pointed out that the FBI often collects a photo of Rap Back participants’ faces.”
