Jewish Carpetbagger in Iraq Caught
by Jeff Davis
Every military conflict sees war profiteers and criminals racing to seize profits or to steal what they can. Time and time again, Jews have been the most numerous war profiteers. The Jewish media benefits from public interest in war. Jewish munition makers benefit from arm sales. Jewish international bankers profit by financing the debt that finances the wars. And there are always individual Jewish war profiteers, who break the rules –some of whom get caught.
A Jewish carpetbagger in Iraq has pleaded guilty to providing money, sex and designer watches to American officials in exchange for more than eight million dollars in “reconstruction” contracts. The amount of bribes and graft Philip Bloom paid to Iraqis is unstated but is believed to have been even more extensive than he gave to Americans–an estimated two million dollars in cash and goods and property.
The bribes were paid to unnamed “officials” in the Coalition Provisional Authority, the central clearing house for the assorted multinational corporations and private buccaneer capitalists who descended on Iraq like vultures after the American conquest of the country in 2003. Bloom’s guilty plea on bribery and money-laundering charges is the latest development in a widening corruption scandal centered on a network of US civilians and military officials who worked out of a coalition outpost in the south-central Iraqi town of Hillah, but it is believed to be only the tip of the iceberg. Literally BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars have disappeared down the rathole of Iraq over the past three years to pay for a “reconstruction” that never happened. Nobody knows where the hell all this money went; the desert sands seem to have swallowed it up. Apparently Bloom’s corruption got so blatant that he drew the short straw and was made a scapegoat when the Americans finally realized that something had to be done about the widespread looting of “reconstruction” funds.
The scheme began in January 2004, when Bloom began paying bribes to Robert Stein, a “civilian contractor” who controlled no less than 82 million dollars in reconstruction funds as the comptroller for the coalition’s headquarters in Hillah. Stein had a previous conviction for fraud when he was hired by the Coalition occupation government. Now, how in the world did THAT happen? Bloom’s company, Global Business Group, received $8.6 million in contracts for reconstruction projects, which were either never done or poorly done.
