RENDON GROUP, Hughes, etc

While they are at it, they ought to look into all the propaganda contracts involving hiring private contractors to develop the "proper message" to deliver to the american people.

DoD issued plenty of contracts for "media services" used all kinds of contract vehicles to hide it too.

The Rendon Group, and others put out press releases, managed websites like defensenews, etc.

These are also forms of information operations, propaganda, manipulating the meda and the public, etc.

Wars are very profitable for many industries that would be only marginal businesses without war.

Kickbacks are a normal part of daily routine in those businesses.

Hence the need for ultra-secrecy.
