I did a research paper on Monsanto - specifically growth hormones in milk, too bad my science teacher had a friend who worked there. Got a C on that. Nice conflict of interest there. You approved my topic! So glad that bitch got fired after that year.
And yeah, after doing some research, **** Monsanto.

This data is a few years old, but, nevertheless does the trick.
1. The Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin (largest defense contractor in the world), Executives, etc.
Former head of United States Strategic Command General James Ellis
Former Vice President of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Ralston
Former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security James Loy.
Secretary of Commerce Norman Mineta
Former Secretary of Defense E.C. Aldridge
Deputy Attorney General James Comey (LM's senior lawyer)
Former Chief of Staff to Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Gebhard
Former Rumsfeld Advisor Danny Sebright
Former Second Lady of the United States Lynne Cheney
State Department Office Louis Hughes
Department of Energy and Office of Management and Budget Officer Steve Isakowitz
Under Secretary of Defense Sue Payton
Former Deputy Attorney General and General Counsel for Department of Homeland Security Philip Perry
2. Boeing (the second largest Defense Contractor in the world)
Headed up by former Chief of Staff to Ronald Reagan, Kenneth Duberstein and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Clinton, John Shalikashvili.
3. Northrop Grumman.
Former Deputy Secretary of Defense and World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz (also of the neo con PNAC fame)
Former Chief of Staff to the Vice President (also, convicted felon) Scooter Libby
NASA Director Sean O'Keefe
Secretary of the Air Force James Roche.
Then there are Defense Contractors / employees of defense contractors working inside the government.
Included are: Secretary of Defense Bob Gates
Former director at SAIC (defense contractor whose initials stand for Science Applications International Corporation)
Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn who was a powerful lobbyist at Raytheon.
So, curiously I wonder why it would be a relief that there would be no corruption and/or nepotism within the government and the defense industry, but the strongest ties between the government can always be found where the most money changes hands.
$711 BILLION is spent in the US each year on arms....this accounts for over 40% of the annual global defense expenditures. The corruption is deep as fck....
