Let me start with a hypothetical scenario: There is an atrocious dictator who imprisons tortures and murders those who dare to criticize his regime. In any given week there are reported cases of dissenters who were sodomized, raped and or killed. Meanwhile, the members of his inner circle servants, in an attempt to make their king appear less despotic and atrocious, issued reports and statements on investigating how certain detainees’ toe nail polish was chipped. And, did it with a straight face. And, expected to be taken seriously and perceived as impartial investigatory bodies.

Now, allow me to present a real-life case in real-time: The corporate-lapdog media and NGOs have been running the following headline as an amazing revelation and exposé (think chipped toe nail polish, ok?):

Pentagon Failed to Protect Whistleblowers

The Defense Department has inadequately protected from reprisals whistleblowers who have reported wrongdoing, according to an internal Pentagon report, and critics are calling for action to be taken against those who have been negligent.

…

How and when did  the Pentagon go from gagging, demoting, actually, jailing and torturing its whistleblowers to ‘inadequately’ protecting them against ‘reprisal’?! Have you heard of Bradley Manning? Do you recall Col. Anthony Shaffer? 

The report, dated May 2011, accuses the officials, who work in the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General, of persistent sloppiness and a systematic disregard for Pentagon rules meant to protect those who report fraud, abuses, and the waste of taxpayer funds, according to a previously-undisclosed copy. The report was obtained by the Project on Government Oversight, a nonprofit watchdog group.

…

Oh, our government went from despotically persecuting, gagging, prosecuting, jailing, and torturing its whistleblowers to being a bit ‘sloppy’ in protecting these truth-tellers.

 Ah, I see. And this so-called ‘report’ issued by the current despot president’s inner circle servants was actually obtained by one of its lapdogs named Project on Government Oversight (POGO), led by its long-disgraced and exposed director, Danielle Brian. Okay, now it makes sense. If it doesn’t to you, read and watch the following, and you’ll know immediately what we are talking about here.

POGO’s Danielle Brian, only a year ago, we are talking long after Obama’s administration began its persecution and prosecution of government whistleblowers, declared Obama and his administration as the most transparent president in the entire history of the United States of America. Just watch this clip:

That’s right. And when we the government whistleblowers urged them to take the award back, this cocktail-sipping lap-dog, Danielle Brian, issued a statement saying, ‘No way,’ and that Obama was the best when it came to transparency and whistleblowing.

Last time I checked Bradley Manning was being detained in solitary confinement and regularly tortured/abused by the Pentagon. This cocktail-sipping George Soros lap-dancer could not care less. In fact, here is what she has been doing on this DOD case (absent from this so-called report she obtained):

So it was heartening to see a well-written timely commentary at Firedoglake.com in defense and support of Bradley Manning and on the true-nature of POGO and its hypocrisy:

This is from an organization that relies upon and, from time-to-time, supports whistleblowers (though some argue, not without merit, that POGO exploits whistleblowers in its efforts to cozy up to the powers that be).

For a different take on the Manning case, see this:

A generation before Bradley Manning, Daniel Ellsberg understood that some laws were worth breaking to expose and bring accountability to far greater crimes. Ellsberg tried to voice his grievances within his chain of command, as Manning did, before being ignored. I have heard many people justify the government’s treatment of Manning simply because of the risks he allegedly took. “He should have known better,” they say, missing the point. Asked in 1971 if he was prepared to go to prison for releasing the Pentagon Papers, Ellsberg’s reply was simple: “Wouldn’t you go to jail to end this war?”

Future posts will explore POGO’s financial ties and its role in the veal pen that is the whistleblower community.

P.S. This isn’t the first time that POGO throws its values out the window to please the power structure.

…

You see, these lapdogs have been doing their lap-dog dance for way too long, and thanks to the mainstream corporate media they are never exposed, since the same media is also busy fulfilling its lap-dog duties:

 You can read more detailed documentation and reports on POGO and its disgraced director Danielle Brian, and millions of dollars handed to them by the Rockefellers, George Soros, Carnegie, and others here.

In this startling new memoir, Sibel Edmonds—the most classified woman in U.S. history—takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded. Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public’s right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds’ story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.

Michael Hughes joins us to discuss his investigative article exposing President Hamid Karzai’s mob boss brother Qayum Karzai, and the subsequent legal threats issued against him and his exposé by the family’s business partners in Washington. He explains how the infamous Karzai brothers, who lived in the United States, went from middle-class small business owners living on average wages to bringing in billions of dollars a year and building mansions in Dubai, all in less than a decade and through the unholy alliance that was forged between the brothers Karzai, rapacious warlords and incestuous multinational corporations-all lubricated by US Taxpayer dollars.

Michael Hughes is a Washington D.C.-based journalist and policy analyst whose work can be found in The Huffington Post, Examiner.com and CNN. Michael has also been quoted as an expert in Reuters and the Middle East Policy Journal and has made several live appearances on RT News. Mr. Hughes has recently been assigned to attend and cover daily press briefings at the U.S. State Department for Examiner.com.

Google Inc. is back in the news this week, with a fresh round of headlines about the search giant and government censorship. Ironically–though perhaps not surprisingly for the corporate media–the stories are not about Google’s admitted but classified relationship with government agencies like the NSA, though. Instead, they portray the internet company as a protagonist sticking up for users’ privacy rights against governments that are increasingly interested in blocking, scrubbing or banning links, search results, and online videos that those governments want to suppress.

As a PR exercise, Google’s latest report is brilliantly executed and timed, deflecting some of the negative press that the company has received in recent weeks over the ongoing Street View debacle, even as it allows news outlets to portray the company as a valiant defender of users’ privacy against increasingly invasive governments.

In this episode of our EyeOpener Report James Corbett presents Google’s past, its shareholders, its own repeated violations and abuses of users’ privacy, its executives’ personal philosophies and the unsettling statements that they have made about the very concept of privacy time and again over the years.

The NSA’s illegal warrantless wiretapping programming. The building of the massive NSA data center in Utah to permanently store copies of all digital communication sent around the world. The UK government’s “Communications Data Bill” to monitor emails, instant messages and other personal information. What was dismissed as crazy conspiracy theory just over a decade ago has become, in this post-9/11 era, the all-too-familiar stuff of newspaper headlines and talking head reportage.

The Sentient World Simulation’s aim, according to its creator, is to be a “continuously running, continually updated mirror model of the real world that can be used to predict and evaluate future events and courses of action.” In practical terms that equates to a computer simulation of the planet complete with billions of “nodes” representing every person on the earth.

In this episode of our EyeOpener Report James Corbett presents the Sentient World Simulation and a significant peek behind the curtain at what those who are really running our society want: complete control over every facet of our lives achieved.

When faced with the overwhelming evidence of the widespread, systemic conspiracies that take place at the very highest levels of government, the general public has been pre-programmed to respond with the all-too-familiar retort: “But someone would have talked.”

This reasoning is sufficient for most people to return to their day-to-day lives. No matter how much documented information is presented to someone in such a mindset, they can satisfy themselves that there are no whistleblowers who question the official narrative of 9/11, or the actions of the NSA, or the involvement of government agencies in drug running, or any of the other well-documented examples of conspiracies involving the upper echelons of politics and the intelligence apparatus of the government. To these people, the mere uttering of the words themselves are enough to dismiss any mountain of evidence: “But someone would have talked.”

Join us this week on The EyeOpener as we begin a new series highlighting the whistleblowers who have been ignored and attacked for trying to bring important information to the public’s attention.

There are literally dozens of witnesses and insiders who have attempted to blow the whistle on various aspects of the 9/11 story, but still there are those who argue that the official story must be true because otherwise “someone would have talked.” Given how many people have indeed talked, this turns out not to be an argument at all, but a dishonest diversion from the truth. What is especially dishonest about this oft-repeated argument of the so-called skeptics is that these whistleblowers have by no means been attempting to hide their stories or keep it from the public. Many of them, in fact, have appeared at conferences, filed formal appeals, joined whistleblower organizations, and made themselves available for interviews throughout the past 12 years, but they have been scrupulously shunned by the so-called fourth estate whose monetary interests rely on the 9/11 terror paradigm to justify the ever-expanding warfare/surveillance state.

The Pentagon issues a list of contracts every business day around 5:00PM local time. Each list, a jumble of technical terms, is organized according to the purchases made by each military branch (e.g. Army, Navy, and Air Force) and institution (e.g. DARPA, Missile Defense Agency, and Defense Information Systems Agency). This project provides a distilled presentation of these contracts in an accessible form.

The Department of Defense spent at least $16,000,324,569.00 on 238 distinct contracts during July 2013. These funds went to many areas (e.g. Foreign Military Sales, operations in Afghanistan, Salient Contracts, and unmanned aerial systems). The following is a valuable resource for academics and concerned citizens alike.

FOREIGN MILITARY SALES

Through Foreign Military Sales (FMS), the U.S. government procures and transfers materiel to nations and international organizations. During the month of July 2013, the Pentagon issued the following twenty-three FMS contracts, which involved twenty-eight countries. Saudi Arabia received eight contracts, which was more than any other country. Boeing was patronized more than any other corporation, having received five distinct contracts. The FMS breakdown for July 2013 follows:

SALIENT CONTRACTS – ALARMING PENTAGON FOCI

From these contracts we learn DARPA, the Pentagon’s most advanced research arm, is tinkering with social media in an effort to sway public opinion. Other alarming foci are present below. If these contracts are any indication, the U.S. tax-dollar is being spent on questionable aims:

A-T Solutions received a maximum $16,834,335 for services “in support of the Asymmetric Warfare Group’s mission observe, train and advise how to defeat asymmetric and hybrid threats.”

BAE received $29,023,781 in order to support DARPA’s Insight program, which is developing an adaptable, integrated human-machine exploitation and resource management system.

Utah State University Research Foundation received a maximum $12,000,000 for R&D services in support of the Precision Lightweight Weapon and Sensor Mount program. [Editor’s note: This is another example of the Pentagon using academia to further its own narrow military goals. One might contend that lucrative Pentagon funding can corrupt university research while diverting finite academic resources towards the purposes of war.]

IBM received $7,788,423 for the development of a scalable graph analytic and statistical learning methods to detect abnormal behavior from large, dynamic and heterogeneous media.

Berry Aviation received $10,725,000 for Trans-Sahara short take-off and landing (STOL) services. The Trans-Sahara STOL contract provides for casualty evacuation, personnel airlift, cargo airlift, and air drop services. Work will be performed throughout Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, South Sudan, Tunisia, and Uganda. The estimated date of completion is 27 June 2017. Some of this funding comes from Joint Special Operations Air Detachment 3400 Operations and Maintenance funds. [Editor’s note: We learn from this contract that USAFRICOM will be operating in all of the aforementioned countries through 2017. Where is the democratic debate within the U.S. about committing military assets to these nations?]

CGI Federal received $45,581,891 for services in support of the Human Terrain System requirement. [Editor’s note: The Pentagon’s Human Terrain program uses anthropologists to further military goals within warzones. Most anthropologists loathe the militarization/weaponization of their field.]

Systems & Technology Research received $7,477,220 for working on DARPA’s social media in strategic communication program.

Raytheon Oakley Systems received $7,932,976 for the research and development services in support of the detection of insider threats by identifying behaviors.

Kellogg Brown & Root Services received a maximum $134,151,953 for the development and construction of a land-based missile defense system in Deveselu, Romania.

AFGHANISTAN CONTRACTS

In July 2013, the Pentagon issued twelve distinct contracts to corporations receiving money to work in Afghanistan. These contracts contradict assertions that the U.S. military will significantly reduce its forces in Afghanistan during 2014. These contracts illustrate the Pentagon’s clear intent to remain in Afghanistan for an indefinite timeframe:

DRS Technical Services received $25,511,888 for the “development, deployment and maintenance of tactical and management information technology systems and products.” Work will be performed in Afghanistan.

General Dynamics received $12,002,200 for “total integrated ground equipment readiness contractor logistics support.” 57 percent ($6,841,254) of this work will be performed in Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. Work is expected to be completed by September 2014.

Inglett & Stubbs International received a maximum of $11,391,894 for inspection and repair services in Afghanistan.

Jorge Scientific received $11,810,908 to provide counterinsurgency advisory and assistance team services throughout Afghanistan.

Leonie Industries received $48,852,000 for media and marketing services in support of the Information Operations Task Force-Afghanistan. [Editor’s note: Based on this description, this is essentially a contract wherein tax-dollars are used to market an unpopular war to a defiant people.]

Lockheed Martin received $14,623,204 for field service representatives in support of the vehicle optic surveillance system program, program manager, Marine Air Ground Task Force command, control and communications. 80 percent ($11,698,563) of the work will be performed in Afghanistan.

Logos Technologies received $9,286,625 for 19 donut hole kits to support the U.S. Army persistent ground surveillance systems Kestrel systems. 90 percent ($8,357,963) of the work will be performed in Afghanistan.

Navmar Applied Sciences received $11,207,449 in support of the persistent surveillance unmanned aerial system (PSUAS) for the U.S. Army. This contract includes the procurement of 15 additional Tiger Shark PSUAS air vehicles and 15 i200 turrets, which will be integrated into the PSUAS. 28 percent ($3,138,086) of the work will occur within the sovereign nation of Afghanistan.

Northrop Grumman received $38,353,781 for services in support of the vehicle and dismount exploitation radar system. Work will be performed in Afghanistan. 

PKL Services received $16,300,156 for maintenance in support of Marine Corps AH-1W, UH-1N, CH-53D/E, and CH-46E platforms. 22 percent ($3,586,034) of the work will be performed in Iraq/Afghanistan. Work expected to be completed in February 2014. 

SAIC received $30,000,000 for operations and maintenance of the Angel Fire Spiral 2/Blue Devil Block I sensor/ISR suites. Work will be performed in Afghanistan. 

Trace Systems received $6,953,728 to procure information technology support services in Afghanistan.

DRONES – A DIVERSE PORTFOLIO

These contracts are for a variety of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which are commonly known as drones. Only one of the companies, General Atomics, is associated with the most prominent drones on the market, namely the Predator and the Reaper. The range of companies associated with drone technology, as evident below, is a testament to the breadth and lucrative nature of the UAS market:

Bosh Global Services received a maximum $60,000,000 for small unmanned aircraft systems training, logistics support and technical management services.

CAE USA received $19,806,624 for MQ-1/9 contract aircrew training and courseware development training. Work will be performed at Creech Air Force Base, Holloman Air Force Base, March Air Reserve Base, Hancock Field and “other locations that may be required in the future in accordance with the performance work statement.”

General Atomics received $23,951,449 for systems tasks, upgrades and service on the “MQ-9 Hunter and Killer System Development and Demonstration (SDD) bridge effort.”

Insitu Inc. received $8,528,000 to “address hardware obsolescence issues and align two previously delivered early operational capability RQ-21A small tactical unmanned aircraft systems to the current system configuration.”

URS Technical Services received $14,219,315 for supporting ACC’s Unmanned Aircraft System Operations Center, including MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper platforms. Work will be performed at Creech Air Force Base, Ellsworth Air Force Base, Holloman Air Force Base and Whiteman Air Force Base. Eight percent ($1,137,545) of the effort supports foreign military sales for the United Kingdom. 

AMBIGUITY AND IMPRECISION

Many U.S. citizens, entrenched in the duopoly paradigm of Red-Blue politics, believe the Obama Administration has embraced transparency. The following contracts highlight precisely how opaque Obama’s Pentagon is:

Advanced Mission Systems received $8,437,960 for training and instruction services. EADS received $21,767,416 for continued contractor logistical support services. CGI Federal received $48,295,193 for “operational and environment core function services to provide the common framework in which war-fighting programs and strategies are conceived, defined and executed.” Lockheed Martin received $138,476,929 for communications technical support services for the U.S. Air Force Central Command. Jacobs Technology received a maximum $45,000,000 for the procurement of global logistics and support services. SAP Government Support and Services received a maximum $7,148,785 for services in support of enterprise resource planning.

None of these contracts tell the U.S. taxpayers, who fund the U.S. Department of Defense, a single detail about the final destination of their tax-dollars.

POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP

The Pentagon leaves behind a toxic footprint at old weapons ranges and sundry bases. In July 2013, the Pentagon issued ten distinct contracts involving some form of environmental clean-up:

AECOM, Tidewater, EA Engineering, SAIC, ARCADIS U.S. and Jacobs Engineering Group received a maximum $125,000,000 for the removal and clean-up efforts of hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste and military munitions. Tetra Tech, GMI-AECOM and CH2M Hill received a maximum $75,000,000 to “accomplish natural resource services and compliance and related environmental planning services in support of the U.S. Navy.” ECC Remediation Services received a maximum $40,000,000 for various services in support of the Military Munitions Response Program.

Weeks Marine received a maximum $14,295,950 for services in support of the Maryland Beach e-nourishment Project. URS Federal Services received $19,550,631 for hazardous materials management services. Bay West, Engineering Remediation Resources Group, RMC South Earth, HydroGeologic, EA Engineering, Science and Technology, North Wind, Earth Resources Technology, Bhate Environmental Associates, PIKA/Arcadis and Zapata Inc. received a maximum $250,000,000 for the environmental remediation services in support of the Military Munitions Response Program.

GPC received a maximum $250,000,000 for services to manage, maintain and operate the emergency ship salvage material system (ESSM) and support the Navy’s oil and hazardous substances spill response program. Brady G2, Enviro Compliance Solutions, Accord Engineering, RORE-ITSI Joint Venture and Environmental Cost Management received $15,000,000 for “environmental consulting services” in support of various government programs. This contract includes support for guiding and managing environmental projects and environmental reporting and document preparation.

TriEco/Tetra Tech received a maximum $7,500,000 for “hazardous material and waste management services in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.” FPM Remediations received $13,267,405 for environmental remediation activities at Joint Base Charleston, SC and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC.

NO COMPETITION – HOW DOD PROCURES NUMEROUS CONTRACTS

The Pentagon often exploits various rules and bylaws in order to expedite contract production or to avoid subjecting contracts to a competitive bidding process. At least the Pentagon is honest in this respect; it included clauses stating “this contract was not competitively procured” in eight contracts during July 2013:

General Electric received $15,691,247 for the procurement of “time critical parts for incorporation into the T-408-GE-400 gas turbine engine in support of the CH-53K helicopter program” This contract was not competitively procured pursuant to FAR 6.302-2-1(a)(1). 

SAIC received $6,976,110 for training and support for U.S. Fleet Forces Command, associated fleet commands and activities conducting fleet training. This contract was not competitively procured in accordance with FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A), “Unusual and Compelling Urgency.” 

Andromeda Systems received $7,700,000 for delivering software tools in support of maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution (MPS&E) and for integrating this software across the Naval Aviation Enterprise. These software tools originated with the E-6B aircraft and will now be developed for Naval Aviation Enterprise-wide usage. This contract was not competitively procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 

Data Link Solutions received $33,368,569 to develop, design and implement four nets of concurrent multi-netting with concurrent contention receive (CMN-4) on the multifunctional information distribution system joint tactical radio system (MIDS JTRS) terminal configuration. This delivery order was not competitively procured in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 

Lockheed Martin received $39,427,558 to provide flight test, technical, management, and process support services in support of the MH-60R/S and SH-60B aircraft. This contract was not competitively procured pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1). 

Harris Corp. received $22,117,791 for Harris radios and associated components which will be utilized within the CBRNE Response enterprise that interfaces with first responders, National Guard teams, military tactical components, law enforcement, and other Department of Defense (DOD) entities.  This contract was not competitively procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 

Lockheed Martin received $12,878,468 for the repair coverage of 25 items for the common cockpit of the H-60R/S helicopters. The contract was not competitively procured in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 

Northrop Grumman received $24,859,823 for providing repair parts to the Navy. The contract was not competitively procured in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). 

U.S. NAVY

Eleven companies furnished fifteen contracts pertaining to the U.S. Navy. These contracts totaled $326,849,904 and cost between $7,526,038 and $110,781,296. BAE took home five distinct contracts within this group. The remaining contracts went to: 3 Phoenix, AMTEK SCP, BAE, CACI, Computer Sciences Corporation, EDO Professional Services, General Dynamics, Oceaneering International, Raytheon, Rite Solutions, and SEACON Phoenix.

CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE

Forty-six companies (including some joint ventures) serviced thirty-five distinct contracts pertaining to DOD Construction & Maintenance.

The Pentagon issues a jumbled list of contracts every business day around 5:00PM local time. Our project distills an entire month of these contracts into an accessible form. Italics indicate notes from the editor.

The Department of Defense (DOD) spent at least $30,291,741,372.37 on 330 individual contracts during August 2013. When extrapolated, this number would indicate an annual war budget of roughly $360 billion. Official government documents place the annual war budget around $614 billion. The discrepancy arises when one considers the fluctuating nature of monthly budget allocations, which are often ad hoc and can vary by tens of billions of dollars. Furthermore, a plurality of DOD contracts in August 2013 were “modifications,” which simply are payments made on top of earlier, often exorbitant, contractual arrangements.

FOREIGN MILITARY SALES

Through Foreign Military Sales (FMS), the U.S. government procures and transfers materiel to allied nations and international organizations. During the month of August 2013, the Pentagon issued the following twenty-nine FMS contracts, which involved twenty-two countries:

The Pentagon issues a list of contracts every business day around 5:00PM local time. Each list, a jumble of technical terms, is organized according to the purchases made by each military branch (e.g. Army, Navy, and Air Force) and institution (e.g. DARPA, Missile Defense Agency, and Defense Information Systems Agency). This project provides a distilled presentation of these contracts in an accessible form.

The Department of Defense spent at least $16,000,324,569.00 on 238 distinct contracts during July 2013. These funds went to many areas (e.g. Foreign Military Sales, operations in Afghanistan, Salient Contracts, and unmanned aerial systems). The following is a valuable resource for academics and concerned citizens alike.

FOREIGN MILITARY SALES

Through Foreign Military Sales (FMS), the U.S. government procures and transfers materiel to nations and international organizations. During the month of July 2013, the Pentagon issued the following twenty-three FMS contracts, which involved twenty-eight countries. Saudi Arabia received eight contracts, which was more than any other country. Boeing was patronized more than any other corporation, having received five distinct contracts.

SALIENT CONTRACTS – ALARMING PENTAGON FOCI

From these contracts we learn DARPA, the Pentagon’s most advanced research arm, is tinkering with social media in an effort to sway public opinion. Other alarming foci are present below. If these contracts are any indication, the U.S. tax-dollar is being spent on questionable aims:

A-T Solutions received a maximum $16,834,335 for services “in support of the Asymmetric Warfare Group’s mission observe, train and advise how to defeat asymmetric and hybrid threats.”

BAE received $29,023,781 in order to support DARPA’s Insight program, which is developing an adaptable, integrated human-machine exploitation and resource management system.

Utah State University Research Foundation received a maximum $12,000,000 for R&D services in support of the Precision Lightweight Weapon and Sensor Mount program. [Editor’s note: This is another example of the Pentagon using academia to further its own narrow military goals. One might contend that lucrative Pentagon funding can corrupt university research while diverting finite academic resources towards the purposes of war.]

IBM received $7,788,423 for the development of a scalable graph analytic and statistical learning methods to detect abnormal behavior from large, dynamic and heterogeneous media.

Berry Aviation received $10,725,000 for Trans-Sahara short take-off and landing (STOL) services. The Trans-Sahara STOL contract provides for casualty evacuation, personnel airlift, cargo airlift, and air drop services. Work will be performed throughout Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, South Sudan, Tunisia, and Uganda. The estimated date of completion is 27 June 2017. Some of this funding comes from Joint Special Operations Air Detachment 3400 Operations and Maintenance funds. [Editor’s note: We learn from this contract that USAFRICOM will be operating in all of the aforementioned countries through 2017. Where is the democratic debate within the U.S. about committing military assets to these nations?]

CGI Federal received $45,581,891 for services in support of the Human Terrain System requirement. [Editor’s note: The Pentagon’s Human Terrain program uses anthropologists to further military goals within warzones. Most anthropologists loathe the militarization/weaponization of their field.]

Systems & Technology Research received $7,477,220 for working on DARPA’s social media in strategic communication program.

Raytheon Oakley Systems received $7,932,976 for the research and development services in support of the detection of insider threats by identifying behaviors.

AFGHANISTAN CONTRACTS

In July 2013, the Pentagon issued twelve distinct contracts to corporations receiving money to work in Afghanistan. These contracts contradict assertions that the U.S. military will significantly reduce its forces in Afghanistan during 2014. These contracts illustrate the Pentagon’s clear intent to remain in Afghanistan for an indefinite timeframe:

DRS Technical Services received $25,511,888 for the “development, deployment and maintenance of tactical and management information technology systems and products.” Work will be performed in Afghanistan.

General Dynamics received $12,002,200 for “total integrated ground equipment readiness contractor logistics support.” 57 percent ($6,841,254) of this work will be performed in Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan. Work is expected to be completed by September 2014.

Leonie Industries received $48,852,000 for media and marketing services in support of the Information Operations Task Force-Afghanistan. [Editor’s note: Based on this description, this is essentially a contract wherein tax-dollars are used to market an unpopular war to a defiant people.]

Lockheed Martin received $14,623,204 for field service representatives in support of the vehicle optic surveillance system program, program manager, Marine Air Ground Task Force command, control and communications. 80 percent ($11,698,563) of the work will be performed in Afghanistan.

Trace Systems received $6,953,728 to procure information technology support services in Afghanistan.

DRONES – A DIVERSE PORTFOLIO

These contracts are for a variety of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which are commonly known as drones. Only one of the companies, General Atomics, is associated with the most prominent drones on the market, namely the Predator and the Reaper. The range of companies associated with drone technology, as evident below, is a testament to the breadth and lucrative nature of the UAS market:

Bosh Global Services received a maximum $60,000,000 for small unmanned aircraft systems training, logistics support and technical management services.

CAE USA received $19,806,624 for MQ-1/9 contract aircrew training and courseware development training.

Work will be performed at Creech Air Force Base, Ellsworth Air Force Base, Holloman Air Force Base and Whiteman Air Force Base. Eight percent ($1,137,545) of the effort supports foreign military sales for the United Kingdom. 

AMBIGUITY AND IMPRECISION

Many U.S. citizens, entrenched in the duopoly paradigm of Red-Blue politics, believe the Obama Administration has embraced transparency. The following contracts highlight precisely how opaque Obama’s Pentagon is:

Advanced Mission Systems received $8,437,960 for training and instruction services. EADS received $21,767,416 for continued contractor logistical support services. CGI Federal received $48,295,193 for “operational and environment core function services to provide the common framework in which war-fighting programs and strategies are conceived, defined and executed.” Lockheed Martin received $138,476,929 for communications technical support services for the U.S. Air Force Central Command. Jacobs Technology received a maximum $45,000,000 for the procurement of global logistics and support services. SAP Government Support and Services received a maximum $7,148,785 for services in support of enterprise resource planning.

None of these contracts tell the U.S. taxpayers, who fund the U.S. Department of Defense, a single detail about the final destination of their tax-dollars.

POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN-UP

The Pentagon leaves behind a toxic footprint at old weapons ranges and sundry bases. In July 2013, the Pentagon issued ten distinct contracts involving some form of environmental clean-up:

NO COMPETITION – HOW DOD PROCURES NUMEROUS CONTRACTS
