"We take this issue very seriously and very aware of the loss of public funds especially at this time."

So who is going to carry the can?

From the sounds of things, i reckon you could turn a nice little profit in canceled government contracts and i wouldn't be surprised if there were some fat brown envelopes winging their way into an MP's back-pocket as we speak.

Imagine if you will that company A is a good friend with an MP and is awarded a big juicy contract, all consultation in phase 1 all the actual work in phase 2, Now company A runs through Phase 1 gaining some nice hefty chunks of money for very little work done.

Now company A claim job is going to more expensive than initially thought, Government panics and cancels the contract. Company A sit back and wait for the Payoff from the terminated contract then slips a nice little bung to aforementioned MP.

If any MP's are reading this I'll do you a 60/40 split.

The fact that funds are even considered as having any relevance in Intelligence Conversations is a Sure Clear and Present Sign of the Lack of Intelligence being Supplied...... for it would suggest that Operations are Dictated to by Currency Flow/Liquidity and that would be a Mistake in Intelligence as it Transfers Proxy Remote Control to Bankers Playing with and Plying Money to Run the System, which is a Good Plan when Supplying Bread to Intelligence.

Without Future Intelligence is everything Lost to SMARTer Enabled Flexible Contemporaries with Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain in the Virtual Silence of ZerodDays Traded and Prepping for Action and Ready 42 Go.

"so what you're saying is that under the right circumstances, a producer could actually make more money with a flop than he can with a hit.? ..."
