    The top U.S. aid agency has suspended a $644 million Iraq jobs program after two outside reviews raised concerns about misspending, including an inspector general’s audit that found evidence of phantom jobs and money siphoned to insurgents.

    The Community Stabilization Program, launched in 2006, was designed to tamp down the insurgency by paying Iraqis cash to do public works projects such as trash removal and ditch digging. International Relief and Development (IRD), a Virginia-based non-profit corporation, ran the program, one of many it manages for the U.S. government.

    It is rare for the U.S. Agency for International Development to suspend an ongoing aid program, particularly involving one of its major contractors. More than 80% of IRD’s $500 million annual budget comes from USAID, company tax filings show.

    The stabilization program “is generally thought of as one of the most effective counterinsurgency efforts in Iraq,” Deputy Secretary of State Jacob Lew told USA TODAY.

      exactly, the war is not meant to be won, just sustained

      you see, there is no profit for the war machine, the fear mongers, and the future MARTIAL LAW in U.S. if there is peace and our “brave men and women” aren’t learning how to become desensitized murderous zombies in preparation for the real killin – back in the states

      ****ATTENTION****

      Please clear your schedule for this Saturday, Aug 1st at 1:00 P.M. EST where Lyndon LaRouche will host an International Webcast. Among the topics of the webcast is the immediate action required to halt a planetary dollar based collapse. Lyndon LaRouche, a many time presidential candidate, is also a leading economist, historian and an American statesman.

      Summary
      July 28, 2009 (LPAC) Political economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche today called for the immediate bankruptcy reorganization of the entire Federal Reserve System, before the dollar based global financial system crashes. LaRouche warned last week that, by no later than the end of the current fiscal year, or weeks earlier, even as early as sometimes during August, the system will crash, probably weeks before the year end data is released. In fact, the present world economy is already hopelessly bankrupt for as long as the U.S.A. and world systems remain dominated by monetarist systems… http://www.larouchepac.com/node/11173

      They should have used “for profit” Corp like halliberton. Hell Dick Chenny could show them the real art of stealling trillions plus the benifits of waterboarding the locals for supply side economics

    6. AReclaimed Says:

      They figure they need to keep a false war going somehow. Why not pay the insurgents to do so, in a corrupt imperialistic move.

      How much do you want to bet that THIS sort of insanity is but one reason why “government welfare” is NOT authorized by the US Constitution?! There is too much possibility for financial skullduggery!

      If we’d just get our country back to the LIMITED GOVERNMENT which our Founding Fathers intended in the US Constitution, we could resolve at least 90% to 95% of all our problems on a national and international scale…

      Do I have any takers? ;-D

      The reptilians like to fund both sides of a human blood bath. They love to get man fighting man, and the truth be known they are setting up soldiers on both sides to be killed or blown up.

      i’m not so sure about the reptilian stuff, i think that might be a NWO diversionary tactic, or if it is true, I would explain it as they are jinn (demons) aka possessed humans

      but the vibrational changes are definitely happening! i believe 100% that a GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IS HAPPENING

      time is short,the chess game is being played,there may be no where to hide-get right with your maker before it is to late.There will be famine,civil unrest,crime rates unheard of and they will be unheard of because you wont have your “precious”television to know about them,or internet for that matter.
      1. Here are your options,dig a hole and hide(but you have to come out someday,remember that)
      2.fight them when they come to “relocate”you
      3.be a mindless slave.

      if you think I am a “nut”think about bernanke being asked which central banks over seas did he give our trillions of dollars to,and he said I dont know.Obama’s supreme court pick when asked about whether she thought that the right to protect yourself with a gun was a fundamental right guiarenteed by the bill of rights,she sais I dont know.FACTS. nOW THAT IS NUTTY!!

      I also believe they should be calling this financial meltdown for what it and no amount of money can fix it.Its a straight up moral break down-MORAL AND YOU CANT FIX THAT WITH MONEY AND THE SAME INSITUTIONS THAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET US OUT OF IT???
      i PRAY FOR THE WORLD,THE LEADERS THAT EVIL MAY NOT WIN,AND FREEDOM AND THE REPUBLIC OF america SHALL LAST FOREVER ,AMEN-

      well i dont know who you,re worshiping like that.

      satan kills his minnions when he doesn’t need them anymore and consume the thing you call a soul.

      so hail satan….you should think about it.

      thought one question remains. if satan is all the opposite what god supposdly stands for.

      why satan dosnt tell us why he hate god so much? we know god opinion. now what about satan opinion. we might be surpirsed.

      i heard once that.. god knows us all. satan beleive in us all. ….truth to be told just from this i would rather worship the dude that trust me then the guy that knows me.

      i would like to know more about the fierce opposition to “god or w/e he really his.

      JESUS (ISA) IS GOD?? Reply:

      is this sarcasm? or are you serious?

      your whole argument is logically false, not one part is correct

      it is all pure ignorance and falsehood

      There is no god but God, and He is the Controller, if you worship satan you will surely regret that when you are about to be thrown into the Hellfire

      davidlcjr Reply:

      To this I have to saythe warship of god is in the heart of the man. If your faith is based of a book then you have been trully misled. A good man that loves god does good work. The others call thier fiath object god while doing the devils work. God is a title not a name so when a washington rat says he warships god look closely at his actual works and you will know if he worships the god of good or the god of evil. One of the most iportant things that is repeted in the bible is to judge a mon on his works not his words. Satan will profess to his followers that he is god.

      shut up and fight Reply:

      cause satan his a deceiver.

      i personally beleie in fate rather then god. i see god as nothing more then a server.

    15. THE WATCHER Says:

      News of Obama’s Constitutional ineligibility to hold the office of President is THE FRONT PAGE STORY throughout all of Eastern Europe and parts of Western Europe today……Obama will soon be sent packing – no country that has become aware of Obama’s lack of legal situation will be willing to make serious deals with an illegal “leader”, whose agreements can be held to be legally unenforceable at any time. Obama has suddenly become “persons non grata” in MOST civilized and well educated countries. Both Phil Berg and Leo Donofrio have VERY strong and VERY valid cases pending in the courts (with LOADS of BRAND NEW physical evidence to support their actions) and Obama can expect to begin preparing to move out of the White House in the VERY near future. Congress has been swamped with DEMANDS from Citizens calling for a FULL and PUBLIC Congressional investigation into the matter. Call 202 224 3121 and let YOUR Representative know you’re mad as Hell and you’re not going to take it any more! 202 224 3121….open 24/7/365, the very kind live operators will direct your call to the proper office for your district. 202 224 3121…Congress is NOT royalty, THEY ARE OUR EMPLOYEES! CALL NOW – 202 224 3121. (This is NOT a ‘tinfoil hat’ matter, nor a baseless ‘conspiracy theory’, so don’t EVEN try to deny the issue is real, people already KNOW Obama is a LIAR!) CALL 202 224 3121 – NOW!

      Obama is Constitutionally INELIGIBLE to hold office.

    18. davidlcjr Says:

      I will give my 2 cents worth. While this article is being used by info wars to point out what we all know. I have to commend USAID for acting appropriately. Once they were aware of the issue they investigated and then insted of covering it up (Typical Government Policy) they stopped payments and brought in an outside investigation to do a complete composite of the issue and find solutions to prevent the fraud. I sallute USAID for being more responsible with our money than the fed is.

      pdsfga Reply:

      Since I started working in Iraq and Afghanistan, I have always been told by my LN subcontractors that a percentage of their contracts went to the insurgents from the Iraqi workers and businesses just so that they would not be killed for working with foreign companies. part of the high cost of the “security”line item was for fending off the insurgents that owned many of the neighborhoods that we built in. USAID may have had other reasons for shutting down jobs as well. They have done it recently all over Afghanistan.

    19. Keith Shelton Says:

      this was probably the plan all along. We’re funding the insurgency so that our military can stay and the war profits keep churning. Just couldn’t make it obvious so we said it was for creating jobs and Iraq made a half-hearted attempt to make it appear that way. I’m sure in private they were told to fund in the insurgents.

      Someone should follow up on where the rest of that money in the middle east went.

      Definition of an “Insurgent”,someone who’s defending their homes and neighborhoods from a foreign adversary who’s kicking in the doors of citizens,occasionally raping and killing 14 year old girls and taking the weapons of the populace rendering them defenseless to their acts off aggression.
      I guess that would make me one if we were invaded.

    21. THE WATCHER Says:

      Few are gullible enough to believe this “siphoning of funds” was “accidental and unforeseen”. This is simply proof that the USA has a “create and finance an enemy” program in place.

      The temporary Iraq SOFA ratification expired July 30, 2009 when the required ratifcation referendum wasn’t held by the deadline contained in article 2 of the ratification law. The US is without legal authority to be in Iraq and should stop spending money there and leave asap.
