Ten Deadly Enemies of Humanity in America
By Dr. Charles Mercieca
06/09/05 "ICH" -
- Every dictionary describes enemy as “one hostile to another; one who hates another; a foe; an adversary; an antagonist;
a hostile force, army, fleet, or the like.” The enemy’s goal is to destroy anything that comes in the enemy’s
way that would prevent such an enemy from the achievement of set goals and purposes. Hence, any person or group that performs
actions that are detrimental to our environment, to our very own life may be viewed as our deadly enemy.
Destructive
Intent of American Corporations
Regardless as to whether or not Americans as a whole perceive it, we may single
out the ten deadly enemies of the American people and of all people of all nations as a matter of fact. These are ten American
largest corporations whose product is virtually lethal. They put in danger not only the people who work for such industries
but also those who are directly or indirectly affected by their deadly products. They are all linked to wars and they all
view peace as their outright enemy since peace would eventually render their product obsolete.
This means, they would
not cease embracing their Satanic God, known as the never-ending-accumulation of wealth and money. These top deadly enemies
make billions of dollars annually on the premise that the end justifies the means. To this end, they employ psychologists
to study the mood of the people and to come with advertisement proposals so as to present their product deceitfully to the
people. They want the American people either to accept it by all means or, at least, to remain indifferent about it. There
is only one thing they do not want absolutely, namely, to see people openly critical against their deadly product.
In
this presentation, we are not going into details on the nature of the deadly product of such ten big corporations. We are
simply going to pinpoint them and bring them into the open for everyone to see and comprehend. We hope that those who are
interested in the preservation of our environment and life would investigate on their own the extent of irreversible damage
these monsters of our earthly society are procuring.
We are going to enlist them briefly and to explain what they do
with a brief comment on how their product leads to the destruction of our environment and of our life. Needless to say, the
fact that they may produce good product should not be a justification of their continued existence the way they are.
1.
Lockheed Martin Corporation, better known by many as Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, is located in Forth Worth, Texas.
This company chose to specialize in the manufacture of military aircrafts whose job is to devastate entire nations mercilessly
in the name of national security, peace and world stability! It produces F-16 Fighting Falcon, the versatile air-lifter C-130J
Super Hercules, the stealth fighter F-117 Nighthawk, and the next generation fighter F/A 22 Raptor. All these are meant to
be used not by civilians for positive and constructive purposes, but by the military for negative and destructive activities.
This
lethal company has been awarded contracts to build the multi-service and multi-mission F-35 Joint Strike Fighter! Lockheed
Martin sells its products to any nation that gives the right price under the pretext that such nations have a right for self-defense!
Like Retired US Admiral Gene La Rocque remarked in his videotapes: “Military product is manufactured primarily not for
the defense of the USA or of any other country but merely for profit.”
2. Boeing Company is viewed as the largest
aerospace company in the world. It is commissioned to make commercial jets that it sells to any nation that wishes to purchase
such a product. Although Boeing tries to stress the word “commercial” in its advertisements, it is also in the
business of making military aircraft and missile in addition to phantom works. It tries to justify its product as an effective
means for the United States to defend itself against the enemy. Here we need to ask: Who is the enemy? At one time the answer
was: The Soviet Union. However, after the Soviet collapse they came out with another enemy known as the rogue states, which
consist of a group of some five to six banana republics where people are starving and are having surmountable problems.
Like
every other big industry, Boeing is primarily concerned with profit. To this end, it would not object to provide every single
nation on earth with its product as long as involved nations would pay the right price. Confronted with such a reality, the
concept of nationalism and patriotism for Americans becomes literally meaningless. And to distract the American people from
the industry’s malicious intent, the stress on the concept of patriotism emerged to be popular. This explains why nowadays
you see some of the top executives in these deadly corporations, along with top US government officials, wearing an American
flag pin on their chest.
3. Northrop Grumman Corporation works under the guise of national security, civil and industrial
needs by providing advanced information technology systems whose ultimate goal is to make American wars more devastating as
to kill the maximum amount of people possible with the least effort. Among other devices, it has developed Kinetic Energy
Interceptors Missile Defense Battle Management Capabilities. This company has made the waging of wars as its source of income.
Behind the scenes it makes sure that wars are constantly taking place, even if it had to provide weaponry systems to potential
enemies and then instigate them to use them via third parties. This would be needed to give them the excuse to start a devastating
war where everyone, including Americans, would be a loser and no one a winner.
We need to keep in mind that in the
United States both individuals and corporations have the freedom to make money the way they want. This policy has enabled
the manufacturers of all kinds of weapons to develop into lucrative businesses no matter how much their product would prove
to be detrimental to innocent people. After all, as we learned from the Iraqi war, the massacre of innocent Iraqis in tens
of thousands has been referred by American politicians who support fully the weapons industry not as victims but merely as
collateral damage, like people were a piece of discarded furniture.
4. General Dynamics Corporation is one of the major
military contractors. Recently it was awarded $900 million contract for the production of 2.75 inch rockets from the US Army
Aviation and Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This corporation, like other similar ones, is in the business of
air and water pollution and of hastening the road to Armageddon. Under the guise of peace, General Dynamics continues to fleece
the US government of tens of millions of dollars, money that would have been used constructively to provide homes for the
homeless, give our children adequate health care and education, and enable researchers to find remedies to such deadly maladies
as cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, among others.
General dynamics is headquartered in Falls
Church, Virginia and it employs over 70,000 people worldwide. In 2004 it had revenue of over $19 billion dollars. Its lethal
product is used for expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions as well as shipbuilding and marine systems among.
This corporation is responsible for rockets that can be fired from a variety of rotary and fixed platforms that include, among
others, US Army apache and US Marine Corps Cobra attack helicopters. One of the best sources to see what this corporation,
along with other deadly ones mentioned in this presentation, is doing would be the internet.
5. Raytheon Company specializes
in high technology with operations in commercial and defense electronics, engineering, construction, aviation, and major appliances.
This company has embarked on advertisements that show the company’s concern for the “needs of the people”
starting with giving assistance to families of US military men in Iraq. At the same time, this company supports the Ballistic
Missile Defense System. Most of its war products are in testing today. In spite of its effort to establish a good image as
being humanitarian and peaceful, Raytheon does nothing positive and constructive for peace in the sense that it works for
the prevention of war rather than for the waging of war.
The idea that these deadly enemies in America of our earthly
community would work for a genuine peace through the development of a program of international disarmament and arms control
not only it does not exist in their agenda, but the very thought of it may be easily dismissed as craziness! This company,
like the others enlisted in this presentation, has people trained in talking with top government officials by presenting them
with videotapes showing how the development of more sophisticating and devastating weapons would enhance the national security
of the United States. Unfortunately, most of the US government officials, mostly Republicans, fall easily into trap and concede
to allot more and more money for more and more weapons and wars.
6. United Technologies Corporation claims to be a
$37 billion company whose products include heating and cooling fire and security systems along with Pratt & Whitney aircraft
engines, Sikorsky helicopters and UTC Power fuel cells, among others. As stated earlier, these deadly corporations are in
the business of making money through the production mostly of devastating lethal products. Recently, Sikorsky S-92 helicopter
won Korean Presidential competition. This type of helicopter is now sold to South Korea. United Technologies Corporation states
that what it manufactures is merely for national defense and security of the United States and of all the other countries
that purchase such products.
There is no war machinery whatsoever that is said to be manufactured for purpose of the
destruction of the infrastructure of nations and the massacre of numerous innocent people. When this happens we already know
what they would say relative to the horrendous crimes that are committed against innocent people in every way. It’s
merely collateral damage! The best contribution that this company could do is to get out of the war business, the sooner the
better. We need to develop an international program of disarmament and arms control. At the same time, we need to leave the
job of international relations and peace in the hands for world-wide humanitarian organizations and out of the hands of the
government’s officials.
7. Halliburton Company claims to be one of the world’s largest providers of products
and services to the oil and gas industries. No wonder it moved so quickly to take hold of the oil in Iraq shortly after the
American invasion and occupation. This company employs 100,000 people in over 120 countries. These people are primarily trained
in drilling and formation evaluation, fluid systems, production optimization as well as digital and consulting solutions.
Over the past several years, this company made it clear that it wants to be second to none in technological leadership, operational
excellence as well as innovative business relationships, and dynamic workforce.
Three of the most dangerous and abusive
companies in the USA are the trio corporations consisting of the weapons, oil and construction companies. They seem to work
hand in hand. The weapons industry destroys the infrastructure of a nation such as it has been in Iraq, then the oil industry
steps in to take charge of the existent oil of such nation and other rich natural resources when available, while the construction
company steps in to rebuild what the weapons industry destroyed successfully. Needless to say, these three big corporations
seem to work hand in hand like they were a mafia type of organization.
8. General Electric Company seems to be one
of the most astute companies in the world when it comes to the advertisement of its product. It focuses on products that are
mostly used by the general public, like bulbs and refrigerators. When it comes to the products that are harmful to people,
it tends to play it cool and hardly makes any public advertisements. This company has some $500 billion dollars in assets
and has business in 47 nations around the world. It has been heavily involved in nuclear weapons emitting toxic wastes that
made countless thousands of people have numerous health problems many of whom died prematurely. A videotape report was made
to illustrate this reality entitled: Deadly Deception.
This videotape report was produced by a concerned private humanitarian
organization known as Corporate Accountability International, and could be contacted at 46 Plympton Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02118. This organization has been very active in protecting the life of ordinary citizens whose air has been dangerously polluted
by big corporations that included lately the giant oil corporations of Exxon/Mobil, and Chevron/Texaco. It also got after
other big corporations like Coca-Cola, which has been draining all of the pure water they can get hold on, and tobacco giants
like Phillip Morris whose structured deceitful advertisements about their lethal product has hooked millions on nicotine most
of whom were sent to their grave already. General Electric Company remains a very dangerous company because of its involvement
in nuclear weapons.
9. Science Applications International Corporation is the largest employee-owned research and engineering
company in the United States. Like the other mentioned big corporations, this corporation is also involved in military ventures.
Just recently it signed a contract with the US Air Force to provide system engineering and integration support for the Joint
Mission Planning system (JMPS) for a period of 12 years. The contract exceeds $200 million dollars. The ultimate purpose would
be to make US military missions, as they are called, more effective. In plain words, the objective would be for the US Air
Force to become more devastating in future wars on any regional or global scale.
Some of the work that is performed
deals with health care, energy and telecommunication. Needless to say, each of these deadly companies do provide services
that could be termed to be positive and beneficial but such services do not seem to be the focus of the company as a whole.
Besides, this giant corporation is trying to work hand in had with military vehicles, homeland security as well as anything
that goes under the titled of national security, whatever that may mean since such a phrase has been so much misused and abused
in the past. Some of its major clients may be enlisted as criminal justice, space ventures, which may include control of weapons
in space, and effective transportation in addition to others.
10. Computer Sciences Corporation provides mostly consulting,
systems integration and design, and software for industries and for governmental requirements. Although this corporation is
also involved with health services, its focus seems to be on aerospace and defense dealing with weapons and military equipment
for purpose of waging of endless wars. The US government spent billions of dollars on this industry at the expense of the
American people’s health care and education. Such money could have been used to improve Americans’ quality life
through the elimination of hunger, the provision of homes for the homeless, and the cure of diseases that are killing Americans
unnecessarily.
According to the United Nations report on the children’s state of health in every country, one
out of five children in the USA suffers from malnutrition and hunger. As stated by retired top military commanders of the
US Center for Defense Information in Washington, DC, these big military corporations are not primarily concerned with the
defense of the American nation, nor of any other nation as a matter of fact. Their primary and only concern is profit as stated
eaerlier. When the Soviet Union collapsed the United States was given the opportunity to bring about a permanent world peace
through the development of an international program of disarmament and arms control. After all, this has been a major goal
of the United Nations since its establishment in 1945.
We are submitting a list of names and addresses of main offices

In conclusion, the
American people have the sacrosanct duty to bring these ten deadly enemies of humanity in America under control by refusing
to manufacture weapons and deadly military equipment and to insist with such corporations to replace without delay their lethal
products with constructive items that would be beneficial to all people without exception.
