The Old War Mule in a Double Whammy (UK Report 06)

• UK is not ready to fight another war because she cannot afford weapons, according to the Government’s Public Accounts Committee.
• IF UK used her nuclear weapons, she would be ‘Wiped Off the Face of the Earth’

[Prepared by an affiliated team of political scientists.]

• Reports UK 01 – 06 are available from FIRE-EARTH PULSARS.

Background:

Statement by the UK Government’s Public Accounts Committee:

“We are worried that the increase in commitments without a commensurate increase in funding puts this stability and the ability of the Department to deliver what our forces need to operate effectively at real risk.  ”

“Following the identification of a long-term imbalance between available funding and forecast expenditure in 2009, the Ministry of Defence (the Department) had to re-scope, cancel and delay a number of equipment procurements to balance its budget. In response to this, and to generate greater stability in procurement activity, in 2012 the Department took the important step of producing an annually updated 10-year Equipment Plan (the Plan) which forecasts spend on military equipment and related support. Annually, the Department publishes a Statement on the affordability of the Plan, and at the request of the Secretary of State, the Comptroller and Auditor General reports on the robustness of the assumptions underpinning the Plan. After a period of relative stability, the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review (the Review) added over £24 billion of new commitments to the Plan which is forecasting expenditure of £178 billion from 2016 to 2026. Additional external funding supports only just over £6 billion of these new commitments. The rest is to be met by efficiency savings from existing projects in the plan and other areas of the wider defence budget. The Plan accounts for over 40% of the entire Defence budget.”

Trump-Kushner Presidential Duo Partner with “Terrific” Israeli Billionaire

The Dynamic Duo’s Israeli partner(s), under investigation in four countries for bribery, including the corruption deal of the century, may also be involved in arms deals.

[Prepared by an affiliated team of investigators.]

• Presentation is available from FIRE-EARTH PULSARS.

Background:

• Bribe Cases, a Jared Kushner Partner and Potential Conflicts
• Trump’s Top Campaign Adviser Made Millions From Arms Dealers, Warlords, Dictators and Oligarchs
• Kushners are partners with one of Israel’s wealthiest families
• Billionaire suspected of fuelling civil war with Night Manager-style arms dealing ‘threatened to put enemies in a glass jar’

• The corruption deal of the century: How Guinea lost billions of pounds in Simandou mining licensing

“The rights to extract half of the iron ore at Simandou, situated in a mountainous region of Guinea’s south-east, were unceremoniously stripped from Rio Tinto, and awarded to BSG Resources, a mining company based in the offshore haven of Guernsey, a British Crown dependency, whose owner (through a family trust) is Israeli diamond magnate Beny Steinmetz.

“Having pledged to invest just $165m to develop a mine at Simandou to secure the rights, BSGR sold a 51 per cent stake in it to Brazilian company Vale for $2.5bn, according to Forbes. BSGR had pulled off the deal of the century, in one observer’s words.

“In January [2013,] the FBI began to investigate the deal. Wire-tapping and a sting led to allegations that Mamadie Touré, Mr Conté’s wife, had received payments into US-held bank accounts, from Frederic Cilins, an agent for BSGR in Guinea.“
