Halliburton up to NO good in their move to Dubai?
In the news this week: Halliburton - the ultimate evil empire of oil services, formerly headed by the dark lord himself Dick Cheney - will be moving their corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai. The reason given is that they would be closer to much of their work, since the oil business centers on the middle east.
This news reeks of something larger…something too large to keep hidden. This is the company that profited more than any other company from the wars of the last five years, and just last month was accused by federal investigators of responsibility for $2,700,000,000 of $10 billion in contractor waste and overcharging in Iraq.
Incidentally, Halliburton is tied to the unfolding scandal about treatment of war veterans and conditions at Walter Reed vet hospital as well.
It could be simply to avoid paying U.S. taxes…to avoid looming investigations…or something more insidious, (like proximity to the upcoming occupation of Iran?)…but something here stinks. And for some reason, I think this time we are going to find out.
Whether anything can be done about it is another story…
