Lloyd Chapman: Obama Administration Wants Secret "Blacklist" for Pentagon Contractors 1/2

The Obama Administration has included language in the defense authorization bill that may allow senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials to secretly "blacklist" government contractors at their discretion and without notice to the contractor or accountability to the public.

Section 815 of S. 3454, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, has drawn sharp criticism from advocacy organizations like the American Small Business League (ASBL), Tech America, and the members of the Acquisition Reform Working Group. (http://www.ndia.org/Advocacy/Resources/Documents/ARWGFY-11HouseSenateComments7-­27-2010.pdf)

In particular, small business advocates have raised concerns that Section 815 represents a blatant power grab placing small businesses directly in the line of fire. The ASBL believes the inclusion of Section 815 in S. 3454 may significantly harm America's 27 million small businesses and could lead to the following:

1. The legislation will allow contractors to be secretly "blacklisted," and excluded from DoD contracting programs.
2. The blacklisting allowed under Section 815 could result in "de facto" debarments of federal contractors across the federal government without due process.
3. Section 815 does not require DoD to notify or justify its decision to blacklist companies.
4. DoD's determinations regarding its secret "blacklist" would be protected from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), protest at the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or action brought in the federal court system.
5. The legislation represents a reduction in competitiveness in federal contracting programs, and as a result could lead to increased costs of goods and services.
6. The legislation consolidates DoD acquisition authority on over $300 billion a year in defense contracts into the hands of a small group of high-level Pentagon officials.
7. The legislation will lead to a reduction in transparency, accountability and oversight in federal contracting programs and opens the door to unparalleled and perhaps unconstitutional abuse.
8. Could allow large contractors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman with significant clout at the Pentagon to eliminate their competitors with more efficient and cost effective products.

This stuff is common knowledge, unless a person lives under a rock somewhere. The recent blacklist is news, because it shows how much control these bastards think they have and today, it's just in your face. I'm surprised Boeing or one of them just doen't come out, admit it and say, so what. Or even the Pentagon for that matter. The names may change, but the game doesn't. Howard Hughes made a good part of his fortune from military contracts.

The way things are going these days, it doesn't surprise me. The only possible way anyone could be in support of it, is if they are in the pockets of these elite, scumbag large defense contractors or they must be employees. How it all works with Boeing, Martin, Rathyeon and others connected to the Pentagon it is nothing new in the news, it's been going on for years. But now, they'll blantly come out with stuff and not even deny it. Shows you how much control they believe they have.

@cclark101 I dont what fucking world you live in but any half-brained middle class working American realizes there getting fucked by the ruling classes more and more. If your so savvy with history look up the quote from Woodrow Wilson after he signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, if thats not proof of future facism then you must be ignorant.

@cclark101 To the "average person..." you are adding a qualifier which was not in my statement.

What is Alex Jones' biggest lie?

[cclark101]

@1tuuber Why do I watch Alex Jones, cause, I marvel at how little his average fan knows about history, the Constitution and law. I marvel at how he is able, with out right lies and distortions of the truth to get his sheep whipped up into a tizzy. That is why I am here.

And yes the average person with any knowledge of 20th century political science or who follows current events would know what the JSB is. William F. Buckely is a iconic figure in the american conservative movement.

[1tuuber]

@cclark101 WRONG! I mentioned earlier that someone who is starting to investigate things would do research, and you indicated that, no, they would have knowledge of the JBS and WFB. And so I said that about the average person....

And you came back with the "student of...," in reply to my "average person...."

If you meant YOUR OWN education, you should have just SAID so.

I just asked the questions to find out the answers.

SO, why ARE you here on this video page? Simple question.

@1tuuber Please review the meaning of straw man, cause you asked:

"The average person doesn't even know what the John Birch Society or the Protocols of Zion are, so how is it that you do?"

And I responded that your question was designed to discredit the person it was aimed at. You are the one ducking facing the fact that your belief in NWO with no solid foundation. You need to discredit those that dare to challenge the dogmatic beliefs you hold.
