Raytheon

lisbet — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 18:22:30 -0400

RAYTHEON

The fifth largest military contractor in the world, Raytheon obtains more than 90% of its $22 billion in revenues from defense contracts. Among the missiles produced by Raytheon are the Patriot, Tomahawk, Maverick and Sidewinder. Raytheon has been involved in numerous controversies and lawsuits in recent years, including illegally obtaining classified documents, disputed claims about the Patriot Missile’s accuracy, and charges of influence peddling. The company contributed almost $1 million to various political campaigns in 2004, and spent far more than that on lobbying.

1. Raytheon is responsible for producing the missile that caused an explosion in the Baghdad market place that left 62 Iraqi civilians dead in April 2003. The device is thought to have been a Harm (High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile) device or a Paveway laser-guided bomb that, despite claims by Raytheon that their anti-radar missiles demonstrate “reliability four times better than specification” suffered an error in accuracy that lead to the unnecessary death of innocent civilians.

2. Raytheon has paid over $12 million in fines for illegal activities. The company faced a series of suits from 1992 to1994 for overcharging the U.S. government for missile and radar contracts. Also, in March 1990, Raytheon pleaded guilty to illegally obtaining secret Air Force planning and budget documents. These are just a few examples of the many law suits Raytheon has faced over the past two decades.

3. In 1977 during the “dirty war” in Argentina Raytheon subsidiary, E-Systems, supplied remote control detonated explosives labeled “Wheelbarrow” systems to the Argentine police. E-Systems is a secretive branch of Raytheon that largely serves the CIA. During that same time period, E-Systems won a contract to maintain airplanes for the Operation Condor anti-drug operation in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Halliburton

HALLIBURTON

Not only is Halliburton the 10th largest defense contractor in the world and a top profiteer of the War in Iraq, but the corporation is now garnering media attention as an infamous example of the intimate relationships between state leadership and private corporatate leadership. It's fortunes have risen dramatically since now Vice President Dick Cheney came on board as CEO in 1995. Before his tenure, the company was only the 73rd largest defense contractor; while Cheney was CEO Halliburton’s revenue from federal contracts nearly doubled. Though Cheney is supposedly no longer involved with the company, it has continued to win lucrative contracts from the federal government, and particularly from the Department of Defense.

Watch how Halliburton's profits grow as the deathtoll mounts in Iraq:

1. Halliburton was the U.S. Army’s top contractor in 2003 with total contracts valued at more than $3.5 billion. As if the company has not pilfered enough from U.S. taxpayer pockets, federal investigators allege that Halliburton was responsible for $2.7 billion of the $10 billion in contractor waste and overcharging in Iraq.

2. In April 2002, Halliburton’s KBR subsidiary (formerly Kellog Brown & Root) was awarded a $7 million contract to build steel holding cells at Guantanamo’s Camp X-Ray. KBR currently has more than 30,000 employees in Iraq, undertaking services including troop support, air traffic control support, water production, deliveries of supplies, and restoring Iraq’s oil infrastructure. KBR’s contracts for work in Iraq are worth up to $18 billion, including a no-bid “Restore Iraqi Oil” contract valued at $7 billion, which some contend was awarded illegally. Throughout the Iraq War, KBR has been accused of overcharging the U.S. Army for food preparation, serving the troops expired food rations, and threatening would-be whistle-blowers.

3. Now that Halliburton has had it's fill of U.S. tax dollars, there is now talk of it moving its Corporate Headquarters from Houston, Texas to Dubai, United Arab Emerites to tap into new oil and gas markets in energy-hungry Asia.

Northrop Grumman

lisbet — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 18:18:08 -0400

NORTHROP GRUMMAN

The third largest defense contractor for the U.S. military, (after Lockheed Martin and Boeing) Northrop Grumman received more than 90% of its 2005 income from the United States government. Calling the company ‘politically connected’ would be an understatement given the millions of its more than $30 billion in revenues that Northrop Grumman funnels back into lobbying and campaign contributions every year. Senators Trent Lott, John Warner and Ted Stevens have each received more than $10,000 from the company. Paul Wolfowitz, I. Lewis Libby, Richard B. Myers, Dov Zakheim, and Sean O'Keefe — all current or former officials in the Bush Administration — are all former officials, consultants, or primary shareholders of Northrop Grumman.

1. Vinnell Corporation, one of Northrop Grumman’s largest subsidiaries, previously owned by former Secretaries of State James A. Baker III and Frank Carlucci, was recently awarded a $48 million contract to train the new Iraqi army. In the past, retraining of armies has been the work of U.S. Special Forces but Generals in the region say these forces are stretched too thin and the Pentagon was quick to reach for an easy solution to their lack of troops—private contracting through Vinell. Unfortunately, Vinell has been unsuccessful in re-training the Iraqi forces. When the first battalion of newly trained Iraqi Army troops was sent to assist the U.S. forces 480 of the 900 men in the unit deserted for reasons of low pay, faulty equipment, inadequate training and ethnic tensions. Now, $24 million later, the Jordanian Army has been brought in to finish the job Vinnell failed to complete.

2. Northrop Grumman is the only industrial designer, refueler and builder of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the U.S. and one of two companies that design and build nuclear-powered submarines.

3. In 2006 Northrop Grumman was awarded $98.7 million to modernize ICBMs (Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) as part of the U.S. Guidance Replacement Program (GRP). This program will help to extend the life of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, updating the nation’s stock of Weapons of Mass Destruction in a time when the U.S. is pushing for nuclear disarmament in other corners of the world.

Demand No Nukes, No Wars, No Profiteers!

susan — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 12:43:37 -0400

Between August 6 and 9, the anniversaries of the U.S. atomic On the occasion of the August anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, join with groups across the country who are working to expose the escalating threat to the world posed by U.S. nuclear hypocrisy, and to confront the corporations that are perpetuating and profiting from a worldwide nuclear crisis and the wars in the Middle East. Some of this month's highlights include the Widening War Tour, featuring Hiroshima survivor Yuko Nakamura, that stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Florence, MA; nonviolent direct actions at the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories; and, the Think Outside the Bomb youth conference in Santa Barbara.

Here’s what you can do to prevent future Hiroshimas and Nagasakis throughout August and beyond:

Locate or post events in your area, download action and education resources, and learn more about the nuclear facilities and war profiteers that operate near you.
Cast your “vote” for the elimination of nuclear weapons by printing out, filling in and mailing copies of the unofficial ballot to the Department of Energy and public officials.
Email your senators to demand that they reject the Bush administration's plan to build new nuclear weapons.
Host the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum’s traveling “Hiroshima-Nagasaki A-Bomb Exhibition.”
Organize a video screening or house party, especially with HBO's new documentary, White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, which premieres on August 6.

Alliant Techsystems

Alliant Techsystems and nuclear weapons profiteering factsheet

Alliant has become one of the Pentagon’s leading contractors in recent years—it has a firm hold on the ammunition market, which experts say is currently the most lucrative it has been since the Viet Nam War. Alliant’s $5.2 billion-per-year business operates in 23 states and has international sales offices in 33 countries, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Malaysia, Chile, Pakistan, India, Greece, and Turkey. More than 79% of the company’s business comes from the Department of Defense and related military and Homeland Security agencies.

Since 1.5 billion bullets a year is not enough, Alliant also has its foot firmly in the nuclear door:

1. Alliant produces rocket motors for most US missiles, including the Trident II ballistic missiles and Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles, both of which are equipped with nuclear warheads. The Trident II (D5) missile is one of the few long-range nuclear delivery vehicles still being produced for the US forces. The D5 is unnecessarily replacing older C4 missiles, providing Alliant and other contractors with about $2.6 billion in contracts.

2. Alliant has manufactured over 16 million depleted uranium munitions to date. While depleted uranium munitions are NOT nuclear weapons, depleted uranium is a byproduct of enriched uranium, which is the material used in nuclear weapons. It is pyophoric and burns instantaneously upon impact. When it hits its target, a depleted uranium shell also disperses a fine toxic radioactive dust that can be carried long distances by the wind or absorbed into the soil and groundwater. In Iraq, US troops use deplete uranium munitions to penetrating enemy tank armor and reinforced bunkers. According to a military spokesman, in the first year of the war in Iraq, the U.S. Army and Air Force fired 127 tons of DU munitions. Soldiers and civilians in the war zones and those who live near testing ranges like the one in Socorro, New Mexico where open air testing of DU was conducted for more than 20 years, have suffered the short and long term health effects of ingesting radioactive dust, such as kidney problems, birth defects, cancers and death.

Alliant’s depleted uranium manufacturing site in suburban Minneapolis is now a “superfund site” and the local community is fighting the company and the Pentagon over clean-up responsibilities.

Corporate Headquarters: Edina, Minnesota (near Minneapolis)

For Corporate watchers: Alliant has rent free mission and/or launch facilities at Commerce, Corona, Goleta, San Diego and Woodland Hills CA; Clearwater FL; Elkton MD; Elk River, Edina and Plymouth MN; Iuka MS; Albuquerque NM; Ronkonkoma NY; Dayton OH; Tullahoma TN, Fort Worth TX, Clearfield, Brigham City, and Magna UT; and Rocket Center W VA.

For Base watchers: Alliant also uses facilities at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville AL; Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral FL; Vandenburg Air Force Base, Vandenburg CA and Picatinny Arsenal, Picatinny NJ.

Existing Non-violent Opposition: Alliant Action in Minneapolis-St. Paul MN holds weekly vigils at the Alliant corporate headquarters in Edina.

This non-violent action group takes credit for causing Honeywell to sell off its defense industries and leave Minnesota 20 years ago. However, Alliant, a Honeywell spin off, returned to the area and continues to grow rapidly. Alliant Action played seminal role in launching the Bite the Bullet: War Profiteering Education and Action Network in 2006.

General Dynamics

lisbet — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 21:17:57 -0400

General Dynamics

General Dynamics is the US’ leading producer of nuclear submarines, including the infamous Trident ballistic missile submarine. The nuclear-powered Trident submarines are the core component of the sea-based element of the United States “strategic deterrent forces.” Each submarine carries six Trident II missiles, each of which in turn carry six nuclear warheads, for a total of 144 warheads per sub. Most of the warheads are about 100 kilotons, seven times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Some of the warheads are around 450 kilotons, or 30 times the Hiroshima bomb.

Since the release of the US Nuclear Posture Review and the announcement of the Prompt Global Strike Mission in 2001, Trident submarines have been subject to a number of upgrades including adaptability for cruise missiles and the new Submarine Launched Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile which is equipped with a 1,000-pound conventional payload capable of hitting a target 1,200 miles away within 15 minutes of being launched.

General Dynamics' contributions to these submarines include the following contracts:

1. A General Dynamics subsidiary, Electric Boat, receives regular contracts from the US Navy for nuclear engineering services. Its facility in Groton, CT, maintains and operates nuclear reactors propulsion systems for Los Angeles, Trident, and Seawolf submarines, and the nuclear research submarine NR-1.

2. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems is contracted to produce missile launcher subsystems for Trident submarines. The hardware and software included in the package monitor the submarines’ missile tubes and control the launching of missiles.

3. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems is also contracted to help the Navy upgrade its nuclear submarines’ weapons systems to the new Trident II D5 missiles. The company is converting the weapons laboratories at the Navy’s Trident Training Facility in Bangor, WA to become fully D5-capable. The naval base in Bangor, which houses 2,364 nuclear warheads, is home to the largest stockpile (about 24%) in the US arsenal.

4. General Dynamics also designs, develops, and produces the Attack Weapon Control System for Trident submarines, extending the life of the ships and increasing their ability to attack and destroy targets abroad.

Boeing

lisbet — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 21:13:21 -0400

Boeing and nuclear profiteering factsheet

Boeing doesn’t just produce 747s—it also manufactures some of the deadliest machinery on earth, including military aircraft, missiles, and multiple components of the US ballistic missile defense system. Furthermore, its corporate history maps US nuclear history:

1. The Enola Gay, the bomber that dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was a Boeing B-29.

2. Boeing co-managed a nuclear testing facility, the Santa Susana Field Lab, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles, where a partial meltdown occurred in 1959. The meltdown released the third largest amount of radioactive iodine in nuclear history but the incident was largely kept under wraps until Boeing recently settled a class-action suit filed by local residents who suffered from cancer and thyroid abnormalities. The site was shut down in 1989 and still has yet to be cleaned up to EPA standards.

3. Boeing supports the US-India Civilian Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, as it hopes to pick up aerospace contracts in India as a result of the accompanying lift of the ban on technology transfers to the country. The US-India deal would allow India to import nuclear material and technology from the United States for use in civilian nuclear energy reactors, which means India will now be able to use more of its indigenous nuclear material for use in nuclear weapons.

4. Boeing recently tested its Massive Ordnance Penetrator—a bunker buster designed to destroy other countries’ (specifically, North Korea and Iran’s) underground nuclear facilities. Bombing nuclear facilities is incredibly dangerous, as it has the potential to disperse radioactive materials into the environment. Such an attack would violate Protocol I to the Geneva Convention, which states, “nuclear electrical generating stations, shall not be made the object of attack, even where these objects are military objectives, if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population.”

For corporate watchers: Boeing’s major production facility is located in Everett, Washington, about 30 miles north of Seattle. It’s Weapons Enterprise Capability Center is located in St. Charles, MO.

Cast Your “Vote” For a World Without Nuclear Weapons!

Jackie Cabasso — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 23:53:02 -0400

Help turn the Complex 2030 EIS process into a national referendum on the future of nuclear weapons. “Complex 2030” is the latest euphemism for the United States nuclear weapons research and manufacturing complex. The U.S. plans to spend $150 billion over the next 25 years to replace its entire nuclear arsenal with new “Reliable Replacement Warheads” by the year 2030, and to establish the capability to produce new nuclear weapons designs. Complex 2030 means “Nukes Forever!”

The only good thing about Complex 2030 is that it's visible. The proposed project is tantamount to a U.S. declaration of “nukes forever,” and a repudiation of its obligation under Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to end the arms race “at an early date” and to negotiate “in good faith” the elimination of its nuclear arsenal. Indefinite maintenance of a huge, sophisticated nuclear arsenal, by the only country that has so far used nuclear weapons, is an unreasonable, unacceptable, and unlawful alternative. The only reasonable alternative is nuclear abolition. The United States, in compliance with its obligation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, should commit to the elimination of nuclear weapons no later than 2030, by initiating negotiations leading to conclusion of a verifiable treaty, under strict and effective international control.

In October of 2006, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the semi-autonomous nuclear weapons agency within the Department of Energy (DOE), announced its intention to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Complex 2030 - the latest in a long string of DOE proposals to provide environmental compliance cover for the endless refurbishment of the nuclear weapons complex. Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the initial phase of this process provides for public input into the “scope” of the environmental review, which must, by law, analyze “reasonable alternatives.” Last fall, scoping meetings on Complex 2030 were held at a dozen locations around the United States, in communities near nuclear weapons facilities and in Washington, DC. 32,000 people said “no” to nuclear weapons in oral and written comments!

Once the scope of the EIS is determined, the NNSA will release a draft study, currently anticipated in September 2007. A public comment period of at least 45 days will follow, with more public hearings. The final EIS is expected in May 2008, and the NNSA could reach a formal Record of Decision to implement Complex 2030 as early as June 2008.

According to the Notice of Intent, published in the Federal Register, the EIS will “analyze the environmental impacts from the continued transformation of the United States’ nuclear weapons complex by implementing NNSA’s vision of the complex as it would exist in 2030... as well as alternatives.” The NNSA’s preferred option includes establishment of a new bomb plant with the capacity to produce at least 125 plutonium “pits” - the cores of nuclear weapons - each year, as well as new construction or facility upgrades at all eight of its major sites currently operating. Under the so-called “No Action” alternative, NNSA would continue to operate the current nuclear weapons complex, adding greater weapons production capabilities at some of its sites. The third NNSA option, misleadingly called “Reduced Operations,” is similar to the first, except that instead of building a new plutonium facility, pit production would remain at the Los Alamos Lab in New Mexico, with output increased to 50 pits per year. All of these options would result in an increase over current nuclear weapons production capabilities. In the meantime, with or without Complex 2030, individual nuclear weapons research and production facilities are being modernized or built at nuclear weapons labs and factories across the country, and the nuclear weapons juggernaut is forging ahead.

Help turn the Complex 2030 EIS process into a national referendum on the future of nuclear weapons! Cast your “vote” for the elimination of nuclear weapons by filling in and mailing copies of the unofficial “ballot” to your two Senators, your Representative, and the Presidential candidates. These can be mailed any time. Complete another ballot for DOE/NNSA. We’ll submit them to the DOE when the Draft EIS is released.

Instructions for Precinct Workers

Anyone can be a “precinct worker.” Make a ballot box by covering a nice big cardboard box with white paper (in order to be visible), cutting a slot in the top, and marking in large letters:

BALLOT BOX

Set up your ballot box at any public event or place where you might normally table and invite people to cast their votes for a world without nuclear weapons.

Make plenty of copies of the ballot.

Have the names and addresses of your Senators, Representatives and Presidential candidates available.

Invite people to fill out ballots for each - plus one for DOE/NNSA, - fold them in thirds, address them, and “cast” their votes by dropping the completed ballots into the ballot box. You might want to have pre-printed address labels on hand. Or, you could prepare pre-addressed ballots, in different color

Ask “voters” to contribute to cover the cost of postage. Mail completed ballots to Senators,Representatives and Presidential candidates.

Completed ballots addressed to DOE/NNSA should be held until the public comment period for the Complex 2030 Draft EIS opens, and submitted either in person, at public hearings, or mailed in. You can also set up your ballot box at the public hearings and offer participants a chance to “vote” on the future of nuclear weapons.

If you prefer, you can mail completed ballots for DOE/NNSA to Western States Legal Foundation (address below) and we’ll submit them on your behalf.
