Lawsuit Loan HoustonForum - Questions & AnswersWhat do you think of the US/Halliburton/KBR Gang-Rape Cover-up?Question: In ABC-News article titled "Victim: Gang-Rape Cover-Up by U.S., Halliburton/KBR", the sub-title is: "KBR Told Victim She Could Lose Her Job If She Sought Help After Being Raped, She Says". According to ABC-News: "A Houston, Texas woman says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad. Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, the company put her under guard in a shipping container and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job. In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Halliburton and its then-subsidiary KBR, Jones says she was held in the shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water by KBR, which posted armed security guards outside her door, who would not let her leave. Finally, Jones says, she convinced a sympathetic guard to loan her a cell phone so she could call her father in Texas. Her father called their congressman, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex" "We contacted the State Department first," Poe (alleged victim's father) told ABCNews.com, "and told them of the urgency of rescuing an American citizen" -- from her American employer. Poe says his office contacted the State Department, which quickly dispatched agents from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to Jones' camp, where they rescued her from the container. According to her lawsuit, Jones was raped by "several attackers who first drugged her, then repeatedly raped and injured her, both physically and emotionally." Jones told ABCNews.com that an examination by Army doctors showed she had been raped "both vaginally and anally," but that the rape kit disappeared after it was handed over to KBR security officers. Legal experts say Jones' alleged assailants will likely never face a judge and jury, due to an enormous loophole that has effectively left contractors in Iraq beyond the reach of United States law." http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3977702&page=1 ABC-News article titled " Another KBR Rape Claim Brings Scrutiny" http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/12/more-kbr-sex-as.html ABC-News article titled "Congress to Probe Iraq Rape Allegations": http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=3992370&page=1Answer: it's sad but true, I have a female friend in Afghanistan who I protected from such thing while in Afghanistan the so called men working for KBR, they are mostly excon's with violent past, as a DOD employee I, got my friend hired on with me, after I threaten to kill one of KBR guys and they fired her, but the lesson's that young soldier's or civilian's must learn is to know your environment and be careful with your judgment ![]() Did you know that Obama seized 4 mosques last year?Question: November 2009 - Obama Moves to Seize Four Mosques, Claiming Secret Iranian Control http://obamboozled.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-moves-to-seize-four-mosques.html In a move being touted as “a sharp blow against Iran,” the United States government is attempted to seize four Shi’ite mosques across the United States, calling it the largest ‘anti-terror’ seizure ever and claiming the non-profit which operates them is secretly a front for the Iranian government. The four mosques are located across the United States, in New York City, Houston, Carmichael California, and Potomac, Maryland. The non-profit Alavi Foundation faces formal charges of violating 1995 sanctions signed by President Clinton. The group is funded principally through rent collected at a New York City skyscraper it owns, which the government also intends to seize. They provide funds to a myriad of Shi’ite religious institutions in the US and Canada and support for Farsi language education programs in US schools. They also provide interest free loans for Iranian-Americans to attend college in the US. The seizure of the mosques by the federal government will be a serious hardship for worshipers, of course, but the capture of the 35-year old foundation’s assets and its dissolution will be devastating for America’s tiny Shi’ite community, which amounts to only about one tenth of one percent of all Americans. I find it strange though...why a president seize Iranian mosques AND shield the Saudi Royal family that funded Al Qaeda from 9/11 family lawsuits? June 2009 - Obama Administration Shuts Down 9/11 Families Lawsuit http://www.infowars.com/obama-administration-shuts-down-911-families-lawsuit/ The Obama administration has effectively ended the efforts of families of victims of the September 11th attacks to bring lawsuits against members of the Saudi Royal family for financial links to the conspiracy. The Supreme Court today ruled that it will not allow any lawsuits to go ahead, just a few weeks after the government filed a court brief asking that the case be quashed. The court, in an order Monday, is leaving in place the ruling of a federal appeals court that the country and the princes are protected by sovereign immunity, which generally means that foreign countries can't be sued in American courts, reports the Associated Press. In late May, the Justice Department had sided in court with the Saudi monarchy in seeking to halt further legal action to hold it liable for the attacks.The move came less than a week before Obama was scheduled to meet Saudi King Abdullah as part of his "rebuilding" trip to the Middle East.More than 6000 family members denounced the move as an "apparent effort to appease a sometime ally" in a public statement. The lawsuits claimed that Saudi Arabia and four of its princes actively aided in financing the plot through front groups posing as charities. Last week, the New York Times ran a report highlighting how documents uncovered by lawyers for the 9/11 families “provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family.” The documents consist of “several hundred thousand pages of investigative material” assembled by the 9/11 families, according to the report. The families also point to a 28-page, classified section of the 2003 joint congressional inquiry into 9/11 that deals with the Saudi role in the attacks. Senator Bob Graham, who sat on the 9/11 Commission, has also charged that Saudi involvement in the attacks has been covered up. Smells like a empty suit, corporate puppet to me. .Answer: I do now. ![]() |
