Former USA government employees maintain their security clearance when they go into private business.
Petraeus!
BY MICHAEL J. DE LA MERCED
For years, the Carlyle Group has tried to shed it's former reputation as a second home for government officials and a specialist in buying defense companies.
But the recent fracas over the National Security Agency's surveillance programs highlights teh PRIVATE EQUITY giant's remaining ties to government work: it's majority stake in Booz Allen Hamilton, the employer of the whistleblower, Edward J. Snowden....
Privatizing the CIA. All a private industry needs is security clearance and they literally can carry out government operations. Add to this dynamic the Associated Press breach in national security and the USA's sovereignty is lost to Wall Street.
There will never be secure elections away from exposing national security secrets. It is the last bastion to attempt to discredit any candidate. If electing Republicans serve the purpose of Wall Street then the October Surprise will be the do all and end all to elections. Why bother to campaign.
Private Equity. The private equity firms shaves off their risk when they employ former government with security clearance. GUARANTEED PROFITS.

It was announced (click here) on May 30, 2013 that General David Petraeus will be joining the team at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts as the Chairman of the newly created KKR Global Institute where he will work closely with Ken Mehlman and Henry McVey....
Add to this former government with security clearance and what exists is a covert Wall Street operation to control the USA and take the democracy away from the citizens. This is proof positive. It just is. Neither Melhman or Petreus are equity people. Hello, America. Wall Street IS the bad guy.
It closes the loop. It proves the decades long suspicions. Republicans are put into office to leverage power for cronies. I mean, Carlyle.
The dialogue from Carlyle never changes. They are always attempting to loosen their ties with the federal government.
NOT. It is all propaganda, at least a decade long since the Iraq War invasion compliments of lies by Bush/Cheney.
Liars. Their profits depend on control of the federal government. That is loss of sovereignty. DOES IT SHOW?

...The firm will lean on the four-star general and former CIA director for his experience and global connections.
Literally.
The road from politics to the upper echelons of business is well-traveled. High profile US politicians including James Baker and George H.W. Bush made their way to global asset manager Carlyle Group after lengthy careers in the public sector....
Ready for this one? This is precious. Petreus was coveted by those involved in the Paula scandal to be a Presidential hopeful.
...As Chairman of the KKR Global Institute, (click here) General Petraeus will work with a team at KKR and in tandem with Ken Mehlman, Global Head of Public Affairs, and Henry McVey, Global Head of Macro & Asset Allocation. In addition to his role as Chairman of the KKR Global Institute, General Petraeus will also support KKR's investment teams in the diligence process, especially when the Firm is considering investments in new geographies....
Yes, indeed. Leave no doubt. The Ken Mehlman. Why not put a former RNC Chairman and a Presidential hopeful in the same company to groom him for political races. On lunch break only, of course. Where did the bailouts go? Guess.

There is no disconnect between the USA federal sovereignty and Wall Street.
WARS FOR PROFIT, folks. Does that clear up the issues about, "But, why Iraq at all?"

High-flying venture capital firm Carlyle Group cashes in when the tanks roll, writes Jamie Doward (click here)
High-flying venture capital firm Carlyle Group cashes in when the tanks roll, writes Jamie Doward (click here)
It is the sort of thing they really could have done without. For 15 years one of America's most powerful venture capital groups has tried to play down suggestions that its multi-billion dollar funds get fat on the back of global conflict. But now, with the invasion of Iraq under way, a new book chronicling the relatively short history of the Carlyle Group threatens to draw attention to the company's close links with the Pentagon.
Dan Briody, author of the Iron Triangle, Inside the Secret World of the Carlyle Group, alleges the company's executives were so worried about his book they told staff not to talk to him. The Carlyle Group rejects this and argues the book is little more than a cuttings job based around some of the more crazy conspiracy theories found on the internet. It also points out that only around 7 per cent of its funds are invested in defence companies, far less than several other venture capital groups....
