http://www.HALwhistleblowers.org
http://www.BushBunglesBrigade.org
http://www.UnsafeAtAnyFee.org (currently on hiatus, to get ready for the next Social Security Privatization push by Bush)

These have been crawling with Halliburton and BakerBotts traffic, especially since I first started filing these materials with the SEC:

To see the Halliburton and BakerBotts traffic for yourself, visit either of the first two sites.

2. NOT MUCH ACTION IN AUG...THAT IS VACATION TIME

for little lord pissy pants administration..must be Halliburton's as well!!

58. The dog days of August...

... were not wasted by many key lawmakers on Capitol Hill, nor by certain law enforcement officials, nor by certain "activist" judges.

The whistleblower depositions and exhibits are overwhelmingly damning to this Administration.

3. Do you ever worry that they'll try to get even somehow?

[CorpGovActivist]

5. Nope, My Momma Didn't Raise...

... no cowards, unlike Bar and Poppy.

- Dave

[lala_rawraw]

7. they don't work that way...

they don't "get even"... they put "pressure" on you in various ways... so you have time to back off or take more heat...so the OP will have plenty of warning to decide:)

[IdesOfOctober]

70. The decision was made many, many months ago...

... to put in place an iron-clad case, complete with videotaped depositions, irrefutable e-mails and hardcopies of documents, etc.

The only decision left for the scofflaws is whether their last act will be a graceful one - which will go a long way toward restoring confidence in the nation's institutions and system of checks and balances (and which may also earn some mercy when the sentences are meted out) - or a last vile act.

[CorpGovActivist]

120. The DOJ/FBI Has Told Me That If I Ever Feel Pressured by Halliburton...

... or any of Halliburton's surrogates, I am to report it immediately.

- Dave

[lala_rawraw]

6. can we have the IPs?

so we can put them on block for when they visit us:)

[CorpGovActivist]

8. Ask and Ye Shall Receive...

... you bet you may have the IP addresses.

The tracking tool is elegant, simple, and yields information that James Addison Baker, III clearly didn't realize could be obtained from a panic-stricken visit.

: )

- Dave

P.S. Doesn't Jimmy Boy Baker and BakerBotts look more and more like Clark Clifford and BCCI to you every day?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Credit_and_Commerce_International

Jimmy Boy Baker has done a heckuva job of blowing the Kennebunkport Kleptocrats' Kover.

[Laurab]

48. Is that the James Baker who's on the Daily Show tonight? n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

50. Yes, Jimmy Boy Baker is worried...

... and so are the other greybeards of Bush 41. Have you seen all the recent TV appearances from Bush 41's inner circle?

Shrubya's inept inner circle - even with the Nixon/Ford chaperones - messed it up.

- David A. Smith, Editor of BushBunglesBrigade.org and HALwhistleblowers.org
(not to be confused with David R. Smith, VP of Tax at Halliburton, my former employer)

P.S. Does Jimmy Boy Baker have copies of the e-mails, including the cc: list? Inquiring investigative journalists wanna know.

[Laurab]

52. Well, I don't watch TV, except for 4 shows The Daily Show/Colbert

Bill Maher, and ...football, so no, I haven't. I gave up on TV probably not long after I found DU. And I have to admit that I'm not well versed on the BFEE - I'm relatively new to caring about politics, it was GW who shook me from my ignorant bliss.

I do read a LOT, I know about Halliburton and Cheney, Baker, not so much. My reading has been mostly about this administration and the war. I'm familiar with Baker and Scowcroft, I think it is, who don't agree with young king george on some things.

I think I remember Baker was a part of election theft 2000, but, I have to admit there's a lot I don't know about 41's inner circle - I read a bit in "Rise of the Vulcans", but that was a long time ago. I will check out your site(s) a little more thoroughly tomorrow, though, so I'll have a better idea of what you're doing. Today I just looked at your "visitors".

I do know enough to know that anyone who takes on Halliburton is taking on Cheney, and that's enough for me to know that you are one courageous guy. In your other response to me you said something about Baker's conscience. If he has a conscience, he's not in the same league as Cheney, I'll say that much.

[IdesOfOctober]

56. Keeper of the Queen's Conscience

Did you know that in the UK, there is a very high-ranking official (technically outranking the Prime Minister), who is known as the Keeper of the Queen's Conscience?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22keeper+of+the+queen%27s+conscience%22

Of course, there were all kinds of sinecures once upon a time: "Clipper of the King's Hangnails," "Brusher of the King's Wig," etc.

But I confess that I now suspect that whoever in the Executive Office of the President was appointed Keeper of the Moron's Brain has misplaced that, right along with his Conscience.

Ides of October

[eppur_se_muova]

60. or outsourced to China, which is also "Gripper of the Treasury's Balls".nt

[IdesOfOctober]

61. LOL

That nearly made me spew my coffee. Nicely put, indeed!

Ides

[Laurab]

71. Well, Keeper of the Moron's Brain is Karl Rove, is it not?

and he must be very, very busy these days since they don't seem to be effective at anything they try to do - perhaps he's run out of tricks? Or is just plain overwhelmed, or maybe in a little bit of trouble himself, the last idea being my hope. In fact, change my hope to a LOT of trouble.

I must confess that I did not know that they had that particular position in the UK, but perhaps we could create one here - for the entire administration.

Now, I must ask, since I was having a conversation with David before, are you two a tag team? Kind of like Batman and Robin or something like that? I have seen some of your posts before, but I'm not really sure of the connection.

You BOTH crack me up, I must say, and welcome to DU!

[IdesOfOctober]

73. Oh, Laura B, Keeper of Caligula's Library Card...

... do tell us. Can Incurious George *really* read and understand Camus, as claimed earlier this summer?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=george+bush+camus

I'm not buying it, personally.

"Now, I must ask, since I was having a conversation with David before, are you two a tag team? Kind of like Batman and Robin or something like that? I have seen some of your posts before, but I'm not really sure of the connection."

May I give David your regards? Private message me through DU if so.

"You BOTH crack me up, I must say, and welcome to DU!"

Have you ever met David in person? That picture is him, to a "T" - http://www.shareholdersonline.org/proponentbios.htm

[Laurab]

75. Hell no, I'd be surprised if he could actually read

"My Pet Goat" for God's sake. THAT was one of the worst ideas Rove had yet, I think.

I believe I've responded to several of David's posts, but aside from that I know nothing about him except what he's made public, and what we at Halliburton are finding out from visiting his websites. No, I made that last part up. Nice way of deflecting the tag team question though. If you don't want to be Batman and Robin, that's FINE, it was just an idea.

He looks to be about my daughter's age, probably a few years older. She'll be 26 on the 15th - I gave birth when I was 3, so I'm just a little older.

85. That Was Just the Laugh I Needed...

"Now, I must ask, since I was having a conversation with David before, are you two a tag team? Kind of like Batman and Robin or something like that? I have seen some of your posts before, but I'm not really sure of the connection."

Laura, you made my day (and it's been a long one).

I'm going to have to find some tights for Ides between now and Halloween!!!

ROTFL.

That was truly the belly laugh I needed. If I can swing it, I will post pictures of Ides in his tights and mask. He's usually a good sport.

LOL.

[Laurab]

86. Oh, would you, please? Until now I didn't even know

if he was a he or a she. He's got this mysterious air about him, and doesn't answer my questions anyway, but a picture in his tights would be great!

I'm glad I could give you a laugh - I know you could probably use a few.

[CorpGovActivist]

87. You Don't Know the Half of It !!!

"He's got this mysterious air about him"

Don't encourage him. *groan*

LOL.

"but a picture in his tights would be great!"

Trust me. If I can figure out how to Photoshop it, at least one will come out looking like Nacho Libre, and will be captioned accordingly.

All kidding aside, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more intrepid person.

OMG. Now I want a Mel Brooks fix: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107977/

"I'm glad I could give you a laugh - I know you could probably use a few."

Everyone's holding up OK. I am truly blessed to have good friends, many of whom go all the way back to childhood. They keep me going.

- Dave

[Laurab]

88. I must say...

you seem to be more than a little "intrepid" yourself. Someone brought you up right.

Now, where are the tights??????

[CorpGovActivist]

90. That would be...

... my parents' and grandparents' fault, aided and abetted by the educators (including the administrators and support staff) of the Raleigh County school system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh_County.

My mom is 16th of 16. My dad is 3rd of 8. The extended family is in WV, KY, OH, SW VA, and all over from there (well-positioned for helping to vote out some especially crooked incumbents this year).

My dad and both grandfathers were disabled in the coal mines. My parents were determined to stop the cycle of poverty in our family, and they did. After making sure that all three of us had the opportunity to go to college, Mom has gone back herself, and lacks only a little bit of classwork to reach her degree in - what else? - education.

We're proud of her, so long as she avoids the toga parties.

; )

- Dave

[DemReadingDU]

89. Morning kick!

and I'm waiting for that pic in tights too! LOL!!!

[IdesOfOctober]

91. Vile lies!

I resemble those remarks!

; )

[Laurab]

96. Of course you do, but are you Batman

or Robin??????????

or did you mean the intrepid part? And please, I beg of you, no LINKS!

[IdesOfOctober]

97. My Latin name...

... is Nemo.

; )

Ides

[Laurab]

100. Tricky.....

Nobody. What kind of parents would name their kid nobody????

I'm nameless in Latin - that HURTS.

[IdesOfOctober]

102. Yes, but nary...

... a link.

; )

Ides

[Laurab]

105. Yes, I looked it up all by myself!

Still, it hurts to have no Latin name.

I'm proud of you though, for the link-less response, Sir Nemo. I know how difficult it must have been!

[IdesOfOctober]

106. You make me...

... chuckle.

: )

Did you check your Form 5500 yet?

Ides

[Laurab]

109. Well, no I didn't but it's because I'm an unemployed bum

so I'd guess I don't have one. Actually I do work from home - stuffing envelopes and making millions in my spare time.

Seriously, I work for myself, and do some work for my younger brother and his band, but don't file any forms - I used to file a state tax form, but business is not as lucrative as it once was with ebay, so I don't even do that anymore.

What I need is a new source where I can buy brand new hardcover, newly released books in quantity for a buck apiece. You seem to know a lot of people, could you maybe check into that for me? Perhaps Mr. Baker would send you a BUNCH of copies of his book, signed, and we could share?

I'm sure a few of his cellmates will be writing books as well. I know there's some silly law that says people can't profit from their crimes, but your buddies will probably find a way around that one.

Chuckling is ok, giggling isn't manly though - you don't giggle, do you?

[IdesOfOctober]

110. So, let me get this straight...

... I'm supposed to have the confidence to pose in tights, while you're taking this kind of a potshot?

"Chuckling is ok, giggling isn't manly though - you don't giggle, do you?"

LOL.

You just talked yourself right out of a photo shoot!

*snicker*

(Oh, wait, no. I meant: *deep, hearty, guffaw*)

As for Baker: nobody really cares about his airbrushed view of revisionist history. Look for his book in the remainder bin in about 3 months.

Finally, since you mentioned eBay, I figured I'd take a stab and see if their Form 5500 has an infestation by you know who; it doesn't appear to.

What kind of music does your brother's band play?

Manly stuff?

; )

Ides

[Laurab]

111. I apologize for the blow to your confidence

really, I'm really, really sorry. I was wrong. (I want the tights picture, in other words).

I'm sure it's manly stuff, whatever that is - they beat on their chests while playing, and stuff like that. His voice isn't all that deep though, so maybe it's not all that manly, but I'm quite sure he doesn't giggle.

But really, chuckling IS okay - it's good, even. :)

[IdesOfOctober]

112. Why "Manly Mastadons/Neo-Cons" are so dumb? Yale study finds that...

... too much testosterone kills brain cells:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=too+much+testosterone+kills+brian+cells

That explains a lot.

[IdesOfOctober]

113. Smart men...

... can pull off a cape, and they can pull off a giggle!

114. Ok, you win

giggle away. I'm wondering if Karl Rove giggles - he's coming to my town, but my brother has told me it's not worth going to jail....

[IdesOfOctober]

115. Go there with a sign that reads...

"Is your gay stepfather to blame for how you turned out?"

I'm sure DU could raise the bail money.

12. LOL...Well, to Be More Presice...

Taking names contemporaneously, but using a "time delay" to name them.

That way, it's too late for them to deny the panic.

- Dave

[IdesOfOctober]

125. "They" are noticing all right...

... "they" even had David arrested: http://www.shareholdersonline.org/pdf/HaveYouSeenThisMan.pdf

David is due in court tomorrow, in Boston, on this "criminal trespass" charge.

Andy Card's high school pal, the current Chairman and CEO of State Street, had David arrested and his partner ejected from the State Street annual meeting, for asking questions: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/93751/000126891106000009/revisedpressrelease.htm

As recounted here, Ron Logue (Andy Card's pal at State Street) apparently didn't like David and Patrick pointing out that one of the four members of the Executive Compensation Committee at State Street is in business with Logue's brother, and has been for quite some time (a little bit of one hand washes the other?): http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/93751/000126891106000006/pressreleasefiledpdf.pdf

Indeed, State Street's business practices have even caused its former Chief Investment Officer, and former co-head of its asset management division, to sue (not to mention the Polaroid retirees' and other pending ERISA suits against State Street, alleging mishandling of their pensions): http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/93751/000126891106000010/legalproceedingspressrelease.htm

This is the company that has taken the lead in advocating Social Security privatization, an issue that - just last month - Shrubby said he intends to raise again after the mid-terms.

Andy Card's high school friend gave a sneak preview of what will happen to those who ask questions.

[ThomCat]

10. This might be a very good thing.

Perhaps the rumor mill is spreading the word about what you are doing and employees are checking out your sites to see what your progress is. Certainly many of them have to know about unethical stuff Haliburton is doing.

[CorpGovActivist]

13. Actually, the HALwhistleblowers' Work...

... is largely already done.

When Waxman gets the Chair, this whole thing breaks wide open.

The testimony and evidence that has already been gathered literally has to be warehoused in its own space:

15. I Am but One of Many...

HALwhistleblowers, who put their love of country ahead of their love of money.

Every major Halliburton contract (e.g., LOGCAP III, RIO II, DTRA CTRIC, etc.) has yielded willing whistleblowers, who have come forward to give sworn testimony.

Even without subpoena powers, the minority staff on Capitol Hill has been hard at work, quietly building the case.

51. Jimmy Boy Baker's Appearance on The Daily Show...

... will end up being juxtaposed in the documentary someday, as one of those bizarre overcompensations of a guilty conscience.

When this blows up in his face, everyone is going to wonder what on earth possessed him to do the appearance.

- Dave

http://www.HALwhistleblowers.org
http://www.BushBunglesBrigade.org

[Laurab]

53. Maybe you're being too kind

Maybe it's not a guilty conscience at all. Maybe it's just GREED. He has a book to sell. I've seen right wingers that I couldn't believe would actually go on the show, go on, and they normally don't have an easy time with Jon.

Apparently he sells books for them, so they do it. It's a little uncomfortable for some, but normally only 4 or 5 minutes at the end of the show, so they suffer through it. Baker got a little extra time, which they sometimes do for more "important" people.

I think greed might be a better answer, although I'd prefer it to be a guilty conscience!

[IdesOfOctober]

55. Jimmy Boy Baker can sign my copy...

... and send it to me via the Bureau of Prisons mail forwarding service.

[Laurab]

72. But you would have to BUY the book first

and somehow I don't think you're going to do that.......

[IdesOfOctober]

74. Maybe a signed copy...

... should be part of the Federal Judge's consent decree?

[Laurab]

76. There's an idea -

you could sell it on Ebay!

[IdesOfOctober]

78. Nah, auction it off for a worthy charity...

[Gwerlain]

80. Jon "got" him at least twice...

that I saw, besides the "Seat of Heat" "one life preserver" joke. Jon does tend to a bit of subtlety with some folks, he doesn't want to get a name for really ripping someone a new one and not be able to get the ones he really wants.

[IdesOfOctober]

81. Only Barney the dog answers Jon's invites...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=only+barney+replies+jon+stewart

[Laurab]

82. I agree - once in awhile he goes really easy

but not last night. "Why did Clinton let this happen", and a few others, aside from the life preserver.

I really think appearing on his show sells a LOT of books, because I don't know why else they would possibly do it. And the ones like McCain, who have to think it helps their popularity, although Jon, while nice, makes him look like an idiot over and over.....

[IdesOfOctober]

83. Jeb's turn on the hot seat...

... "So, Jeb, which member of the next generation of the Bush dynasty will be wearing a uniform, and serving outside of the United States?"

Poor Jon. You know he'd want to ask it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noelle_Bush (nope, not with that mug shot)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P._Bush (nope, not with the P. standing for "Prescott")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Bush%2C_Jr. (nope, potential for a Tailhook problem)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_Bush (yeah, right)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Pierce_Bush (yeah, right)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Bush (like, not hardly)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_Bush (with a middle name like Mallon, it has to be good, and it is)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Neil_Mallon (Dresser Industries; close friend of Prescott)

You get the idea. They fabricate wars, and send other people's children.

[Laurab]

84. Jeb, like the other members of his family

is a coward. He would never appear on the show, much less serve in the military, although I do believe he'd have no problem sending other people's children. GW was invited, I believe, when he was campaigning, and wouldn't do it.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK AT THEM?

I think Jeb in the closet should be there if he isn't already!

[IdesOfOctober]

92. I still can't get over the fact...

... that George P. Bush - their great hope for a three-peat - actually has Prescott right there in his name, as the eternal reminder of how the Bush Family Syndicate funded those trust funds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P._Bush

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush

That's just like Neil Mallon Bush, whose middle name is an homage to Bush 41's fondness for his father's old business partner at Dresser:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Bush

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Mallon

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bush+mallon+dresser

It's like they have some Freudian compulsion to get caught, and to finally have someone say: "Your trust fund money is dirty. Disgorgement proceedings are good for the soul."

[Laurab]

95. Do you really think they care?

I mean really - you're talking about the Bush family - do you think they would care that their trust fund money was dirty? Has any one of them, to your knowledge, ever exhibited a conscience? All I've seen is a love of money, and a lot of criminal and/or "I'm above the law" activity in this family. They don't refer to them as the "BFEE" for nothing.

You sure do like those links! I should add Wikipediaowner to your job title!

98. A good, open-source...

... example of what will defeat the closed-source, closed-minded, information-hoarding, humanity-oppressing, truth-hiding, knowledge-concealing CRIMINALS who have perpetuated myth over fact, superstition over science, and fear over reason ...

I wonder if the WikiFounders belong to any secret societies?

99. Oh, I knew that

but don't trust the entries on Bears, because I think Stephen Colbert's fans changed them all - actually, I think he may have been banned after that one....

54. I can't wait for this to hit

but at the same time, it's kinda frightening when you realize your pension comes from State Street...as I was reading Ide's posts last night...my hands were shaking...I want something, anything to bring this bunch down, been waiting for six years now...at the same time...those of you involved, had better be very careful...go nowhere alone...I do believe these guys play for keeps...

[IdesOfOctober]

57. So do we ...

... to "keep" the Constitution intact, that is. Bushes and Bakers are not fit to tinker with that which they do not understand, let alone cherish.

As for the warnings about safety, they're moot. The hard work is done. The depositions have been videotaped. The documents are above reproach, and there are no "chain of custody" problems. (Can you believe that they have actually suggested that the IMs and e-mails from Foley may not be authentic, suggesting a "chain of custody" problem that would have permitted the messages to be altered?)

BakerBotts is clutching at straws, and when you see this many "luminaries" from Bush 41 trying to put out the fire, you know that they know that this is going to be - in the Queen's words after the Windsor Castle conflagration - an "annus horribilis" for the BushCo. Cabal.

67. I would like to believe

I understand...I am humbled before your courage, and selflessness...Thank You...and Good Luck...

[IdesOfOctober]

68. Prayers are welcomed...

... but the true selflessness and courage is the 90% of the iceberg they don't yet see.

BakerBotts and Halliburton steered the Bush Presidency right into the iceberg. At this point, they know they struck it. But they cannot yet begin to fathom how much water they've already taken on.

59. Careful, dude; they could 'accident' you.

I'd leave a will making it very clear that you would *never* kill yourself, and that the reason you're dead is that *they* killed you for digging up dirt. Name names, and CC a prominent reporter.

"Cliff Baxter complained mightily to Skilling and all who would listen about the inappropriateness of our transactions with LJM," Watkins wrote, referring to one of the partnerships linked to Enron's collapse last fall."

116. The sites are interesting, but I'm having trouble following the sequence

of events here. Is there a summary for the attention-starved like myself? Are the actual emails online anywhere? Thanks & keep fighting the good fight.

[IdesOfOctober]

117. My guess would be...

... yes, since some of the more well-established and reputable MSM outlets have been digesting the copious data for many months now, to render the basic story digestible; then, once it's out there, "advanced" stories can run as follow-ups, and the primary documents are out there for those who have the time and inclination to dig even deeper.

It's taken them a while, but the MSM journalists are beginning to embrace the concept of 21st century journalism.

118. That Is a Common Lament...

"Is there a summary for the attention-starved like myself?"

Yes, an FAQ is nearly done.

"Are the actual emails online anywhere?"

Besides in the hands of the FBI agents who showed up in Houston, TX and Arlington, VA on Friday, July 23, 2004, to demand the backup tapes of my e-mails and David R. Smith's e-mails?

Besides in the hands of the DOJ career prosectors who sent the FBI agents on that mission?

Besides in the hands of Halliburton's white collar crime defense attorneys?

"Thanks & keep fighting the good fight."

Doing my best. Thanks!

119. More "Telling" Visits to My Sites This Week...

... and the updated list of that traffic will be posted soon.

Perhaps more importantly, I expect that the HALwhistleblowers site will, as soon as Monday, have important new information posted about who knew what when at Halliburton, with respect to foreign bribes paid to officials in Nigeria and elsewhere.

Cheers!
