Street Theater Demo at Bechtel/DOE
Iraqi War profiteer, the Bechtel Corporation, was lampooned in a Street Theater skit performed by Peace and Justice activists, on Aug. 7, 2007. The event took place at Bechtel's down town Washington, D.C. headquarters. It is a company long associated with the powerful and grasping Military-Industrial Complex in this country, along with the seminal issue of "nuclear weapons proliferation." Earlier in the morning, the activists had performed a comparable satirical demo in front of the Department of Energy (DOE), at Independence Ave. The DOE is a department, whose predecessor agency was involved in the creation of the first Atomic Bombs. Two survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were at the DOE ceremony. Today, the DOE is involved in maintaining, inter alia, the nation's "nuclear weapons programs," according to a press release of the sponsoring group for the demonstration, "The Atlantic Life Community," see: http://www.serve.com/nukeresis... Endorsing today's effort were two subscribing members of "The Atlantic Life Community" organization: "Dorothy Day Catholic Workers," See, http://www.catholicworker.org/... and Baltimore's "Jonah House" at: http://www.jonahhouse.org/.

I like the bit at the very end about the Bechtel (octopus) profiting twice by building nuclear plants and then getting paid to clean them up again. I gather the nuclear industry could never build a plant if it weren't (doubly) subsidised like this. That's a free-market for you?

I would suggest you sharpen up your criticism of Bechtel and all other military contractors. It is not only the spectacular, the exceptional such as the Nagasaki bomb. It is the routine, the banal, the casually manufacturing WMDs just for money, and giving them to irresponsible institution, the US Pres and Congress *and the lobbying*. Ghastly. See diagram rosehill net. |

For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out
the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for
cruising around town, or running to the store.
The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in
two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun
Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior
fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel
trim and the door inserts match the body.
