from source: In an InfoWars presentation, Professor Griff of the inimitable Public Enemy listed the top corporations he believed were pulling Barack Obama’s strings and determined the outcome of his election, often funding both sides of the system to gain an economic sleeperhold. In the video, Griff doesn’t mention one that I think deserves more attention which is called the Bechtel Corporation. Haven’t heard of it? Let's check out the facts:
Bechtel has long had close ties to the American government. From 1974 to 1982, George Schultz, former U.S. Secretary of Treasury and future Secretary of State, was president and director. The late former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was general counsel for Bechtel in the late 1970s. Bechtel's ranks also housed a former Secretary of Energy, a Bush Jr. Export Council member, and a former vice president of Bechtel was also a member of the U.S. Defense Policy Board. The Clinton Administration also appointed senior Bechtel managers to senior positions in government. Following the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, George W. Bush awarded the FIRST Iraq reconstruction contract to Bechtel through USAID, on April 20, 2003. This contract was worth an estimated $680 million. It is alleged that some of the construction projects managed by Bechtel were either poorly implemented, failing within months of their installation, or designed in such a way that Iraqi engineers did not have the knowledge or components to fix Bechtel's proprietary technology.
