US Embassy in Iraq Built in Part by Slave Labor (Freedom is Slavery)

Oversight Hearing on US Embassy in Iraq

Rory Mayberry, a former subcontractor employee for First Kuwaiti Trading & Contracting Company, gives opening testimony:

“Mr. Chairman, when the airplane took off and the captain announced that we were heading to Baghdad, all you-know-what broke out on the airplane. The men started shouting, it wasn’t until the security guy working for First Kuwaiti waved an MP5 in the air that the men settled down. They realized that they had no other choice but to go to Baghdad. Let me spell it out clearly: I believe these men were kidnapped by First Kuwaiti to work at the US Embassy… I’ve read the State Department Inspector General’s report on the construction of the embassy. Mr. Chairman, it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. This is a cover-up and I’m glad that I’ve had the opportunity to set the record straight.”

1. Just another link in the eugenics chain.
Evil can be so hard to fight sometimes,
especially when it's hidden over "there"
.. though I think slave labor or forms of
indentured servitude are common here
too.

6. True, but that makes this no less awful and appalling.

2. Slavery - not surprising - the PNAC Castle built by slave labor with
contributions to the set-up from Rumsfeld who lives on Mount Misery - with its own history of slavery.

I don't know if it should be called PNAC Castle or Dick's Castle.

8. The Embassy in Baghdad.
The Cradle of Civilization now in the process of being destroyed by the United States of Corporations.

3. How many more horror stories will this misbegotten occupation

spawn? Thank God for people like Mr. Mayberry coming clean with their consciences.

5. Indiscriminate murder of civilians seems to be an ongoing story,
given a big ho-hum by the media and the general public.

7. I'll kick it once more. A lot has happened today, but I think this is worth at least
one more view.
