What Happens When You Threaten Lives And Defraud The Government?
Why, you get new US contracts
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Companies that defrauded the United States and jeopardized American lives received new government work despite rulings designed to stop them from receiving federal contracts, government investigators report.
Payments went to a company whose president tried to sell nuclear bomb parts to North Korea, a company that jeopardized lives on the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and a seller of body armor that the Air Force said was defective.
The companies were on a government database of 70,000 individuals and businesses suspended or barred by various U.S. agencies from receiving government contract work."
Various excuses then follow.

Ah, so its more business as usual at the Pentagon. Figures. Anyone that understands the ongoing 50+ year marriage between the fascist capitalists and the extreme right-wing party also knows that these so-called defense contracts are political fiascos designed to reap huge profits from the govt (and tax-payers) while faking its way through actual military defense priorities.
Call it defense and get away with murder.
Seriously, there must be zero oversight. Why even bother to have a blacklist when it's ignored? Probably to make the scam look good at first glance.
