Do Multi-National companies like Halliburton have any ethics ?

Question

Will they make a "deal with the devil", if they can make a profit ? Like his father & gradfather Prescott Bush, are George W Bush's closest advisors closely bound to the Oil and Arms industries ? Karl Rove, one of Bush's closest political advisors, was a shareholder in Boeing, many of whose activities are in the military field. Boeing makes Apache helicopters, guided missiles, & Tomohawk Cruise Missiles. Paul Wolfowitz, who has been number two in the Pentagon, charged consultancy fees from Northrop Grumman ( who make makes B-2 Stealth bomber, which costs $2 billion per plane & F-18 fighter bombers presently used massively in Iraq ) before joining the administration. Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell were both were directors of Gulf Stream Aerospace. They left the companies with the "golden good-byes" of one million dollars. Donald Rumsfeld sat on the board of ABB, a company that sold nuclear reactors to North Korea. In 2 yrs , Northrup Grumman, increased sales by 60%, Boeing by 30%

Answer 1

Ethics are based on how much you can get away with..

Answer 2

Oh yes, they have ethics. Even the vultures have ethics.


The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains of a Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on, hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama, Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense

Answer 3

The answer is an emphatic no. There's a very informative film called the corporation wherein a checklist from the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is applied to the corporation as such. The diagnosis is the following: Psychopathy. For a psychopath there are no ethics, there is rationalization and only that. You can download a copy of the film for free. Let's boycott all psychopathic corporations such as Halliburton, MacDonald's, BlackWater, A.D.I.D.A.S. etc. Let's stop the madness.
