Halliburton does nuke business with Iran

Source

Now, I cannot comment on the source. It's unknown to me.
But the C-SPAN session the YouTube video shows Halliburton is using subsidary companies and Cayman Island accounts to loophole around sanctions against doing business with Iran. The business? Nuclear Facility building and outfitting.

Classic business as usual. IMO

You got to wonder how much he really wants this all to stop.

So anyone who supports then is a terrorist. Looks like we have found the real terrorists behind the viel of hideous and disgusting secrecy.

this is sad . . . I'm from Halliburton's hometown of Duncan, OK and I am in need of a job, and they are hiring . . . moral dilemma much? /sigh

How is this not treason? Pretty nice find. All the of the haliburton executives play stupid about the complete unethical and immoral behavior with their actions. Its so blood boiling frustrating to see the government not just shut down these companies. And send all executives to prison or get a death sentence. Times like this I wish we were china.

Is this what you want?

Disgusting. That woman is a flat-out traitor. You can tell by her responses and expressions that her only concern is her bonus; she has sold out her country for a paycheck.

Halliburton should be dismantled and its executive team jailed. I would say hang them, but I have kinda moved away from state-sponsored murder as an acceptable form of punishment.

I know this will creep out the annunaki folks who have insisted for years that Bush and Ahmadinejad are related by serpent bloodlines and they are both descended from the orginial serpent annunaki god. I myself got worried when my husband was given strict orders in 03 in iraq that no harm was to be done to the ziggurat that was located nearby. Later I found out some people speculated this could have been part of the true garden of Eden.......

If Halliburton really is doing this all stuff, serpent lore aside......this is terrible, I hope hope hope it is not true.

I have no doubt that this is completely true, but the source in the OP has a link to it's source, which is beforeitsnews.com.

Beforeitsnews.com does not show a source at all. So all we have to go off of is the video.

I found this from Project Censored:

It was Cheney who directed Halliburton toward aggressive business dealings with Iran—in violation of U.S. law—in the mid-1990s, which continued through 2005 and is the reason Iran has the capability to enrich weapons-grade uranium. It was Halliburton’s secret sale of centrifuges to Iran that helped get the uranium enrichment program off the ground, according to a three-year investigation that includes interviews conducted with more than a dozen current and former Halliburton employees.

Senators Question Halliburton Executive About Dealings in Iran

By MICHAEL LUO
Published: May 1, 2007

www.nytimes.com/2007/05/01/washington/01halliburton.html

WASHINGTON, April 30 — A Halliburton executive, facing withering criticism from Democratic lawmakers during a Senate hearing on Monday about the company’s business dealings in Iran, insisted that the firm had not broken any laws.

The official, Sherry Williams, a Halliburton vice president and corporate secretary, said the company had consulted several law firms in 1995 after sanctions were imposed on Iran. Officials of the company, which recently announced it was moving its chief executive from Houston to Dubai and establishing a corporate headquarters there, determined that it was legal for independent foreign subsidiaries of United States companies to do business there, she said.

“We have followed U.S. law,” she said. “We will continue to follow U.S. law.”

Although the three Democratic senators on hand repeatedly suggested broader concerns than strict legality should have prompted the company to halt its business in Iran, Ms. Williams expressed no regret for the firm’s work there.

From 1995 to 2000, Vice President Dick Cheney was Halliburton’s chairman; at the time he spoke out against sanctions on Iran.

"These three companies, as far as we were concerned, appear to have violated the spirit of the law," says Thompson. "In the case of Halliburton, as an example, they have an offshore subsidiary in the Cayman Islands. That subsidiary is doing business with Iran."

Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran

Here's a government transcript of the hearing the video was from. It was in April, 2007.
Dorgan Hearing
Oh, as an aside, I think the headline is misleading. I looked at the last two pages of the transcript and they indicated that while the Haliburton subsidiary was doing business in Iran, it was all oil and gas, no nukes.

What I'm a little more interested in is whether the Democrat Congress and President put in place any new legislation closing the loophole that Haliburton was using. Dorgan was a Democrat Senator at the time and it looked as though there was a lot of public interest in the idea (just look at this thread). Wonder if they did anything about it.

Thanks, all, for the extra links and info. I don't have the time I used to to delve in like I'd want and you guys make up for my slackage.

Anyway you look at this, it blatantly screams of "Profit before Responsability" and I really hate that.

The motto in Latin in my siggie professes how I live. This incident is the exact opposite of that, so, I'm kinda pissed.
Money sucks.
It makes people evil.
Makes being not rich suck less.

You may be right, but, the source headline is what prompted my own. Watching the video, I assumed (yes, I know) the whole problem stemmed from nukes. They never specified.

So, I agree.

I believe this story by Jason Leopold might be the source;

Scandal-plagued Halliburton, the oil services company once headed by Vice President Dick was secretly working with one of Iran’s top nuclear scientists on natural gas related projects and, allegedly, selling the scientists’ oil company key components for a nuclear reactor, according to Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge of both companies’ business dealings. Just last week a National Security Council report said Iran was a decade away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. That time frame could arguably have been significantly longer if Halliburton, which just reported a 284 percent increase in its fourth quarter profits due to its Iraq reconstruction contracts, was not actively providing the Iranian government with the financial means to build a nuclear weapon. Now comes word that Halliburton, which has a long history of flouting U.S. law by conducting business with countries the Bush administration said has ties to terrorism, was working with Cyrus Nasseri, the vice chairman of Oriental Oil Kish, one of Iran’s largest private oil companies, on oil development projects in Tehran. Nasseri is also a key member of Iran’s nuclear development team. “Nasseri, a senior Iranian diplomat negotiating with Europe over Iran's controversial nuclear program is at the heart of deals with US energy companies to develop the country's oil industry”, the Financial Times reported. Nasseri was interrogated by Iranian authorities in late July for allegedly providing Halliburton with Iran’s nuclear secrets and accepting as much as $1 million in bribes from Halliburton, according to Iranian government officials. It’s unclear whether Halliburton was privy to Iran’s nuclear activities. A company spokesperson did not return numerous calls for comment. A White House also did not return calls for comment.

I heard about this on ATS several years ago.

Can't remember the thread title though.

It's about the only good thing Halliburton have done.

Let Iran have their Nukes. How many other countries have them and have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty?
