Macdonald Dettwiler Federal Bridge to Romney’s hedge fund 9/11
We believe KPMG ordered its client MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates to reconfigure the United States' Federal Bridge Certification Authority during a phony continuity of government exercise on 9/11 and allow KPMG’s other clients including the BBC Pension Trust and Mitt Romney’s friends at Bain Capital to hedge a contrived panic of the capital markets.

“[Spoliation inference – MDA was preparing to hijack aircraft electronically in 2001 during a continuity of government test of the Federal Bridge for KPMG clients, including Mitt Romney and his Bain hedge-fund managers] MDA Wins Key U.S. Aviation Contract Source: MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. Posted Thursday, May 3, 2001 Richmond, B.C. - MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (TSE: MDA) announced today the company has been awarded a contract by the United States Air Force to develop a system to be used by specialists at Air Force bases to design Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs). IAPs are published instructions to pilots specifying a series of aircraft maneuvers that must be executed for the aircraft to transition safely from an en route airway to a runway final approach when flying by instruments. MDA's system ingests digital terrain and elevation data, air navigation data (such as the locations of navigation aids, runways, buildings and towers) to build and display a virtual model of the physical environment surrounding an airport. It then develops the complex surfaces that define a safe approach corridor for any of the dozens of IAP variants, and determines whether any of the defined surfaces are penetrated by terrain or man-made obstacles. It flags these incursions to the operator, who can quickly modify the approach procedure through a drag-and-drop user interface. This initial award, valued at $2.9 million (CDN), consists of a fixed price element to develop, integrate, and test the system. The next phase will include installation, government testing, and operator training. The contract includes an option for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to adapt the system for their needs. The U.S. Air Force also has options to field the successful system at up to 108 air bases around the world, and to award T&M support contracts for up to 8 years. MDA plans to team up with Air Navigation Data (AND) of Ottawa to offer a custom solution, based on AND's "Final Approach" product. MDA President and CEO Daniel Friedmann said: "This is a significant project for MDA that has the potential to improve the safety of air transportation for many other air forces and civil aviation authorities world wide.

“Stephen Pagliuca (born January 16, 1955) is a private equity investor, managing partner of Bain Capital, and co-owner of the Boston Celtics. In 2003, Pagliuca, along with Irving and Wyc Grousbeck, Robert Epstein, William P. Egan, David Epstein and John Svenson, was part of the consortium (Boston Basketball Partners LLC) that acquired the Boston Celtics for $360 million. In 2009, Pagliuca ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic Party nomination for the U.S. Senator position formerly occupied by Ted Kennedy. Pagliuca is a managing partner and member of the executive committee of the Boston Celticsand serves as a member of the Board of Governors and the Competition Committee for the National Basketball Association. In 2009, Pagliuca was one of four candidates vying for the Democratic nomination as part of Massachusetts' special election to fill Ted Kennedy's U.S. Senate seat. Pagliuca came in last in the primary election. Pagliuca joined Bain Capital in 1989 from Bain & Company where he focused on the information services and healthcare industries and developed Bain & Company's turnaround practice [allegedly using insider information derived for corruption of the Federal Bridge]. Pagliuca started his career as a senior accountant and international tax specialist at Peat Marwick Mitchell & Company in the Netherlands (Peat Marwick is today KPMG). Pagliuca received an MBA from Harvard Business School. He received a BA from Duke University.”
“90.9wbur Stephen Pagliuca: A Study In Contrasts BOSTON — To listen to Marylou Sudders, you’d never guess that Steve Pagliuca is rich. Very rich. Two hundred and sixty million dollars to $400 million rich. Sudders is the head of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, where Pagliuca serves as board chairman. The first time Sudders met him, she remembers a man who was lost, late and looking for parking. … In 1994, Pagliuca’s friend and mentor, Republican Mitt Romney, challenged Edward Kennedy for Senate. Though he’s always declared himself a Democrat, Pagliuca donated several thousand dollars to Romney’s campaign. But he doesn’t seem troubled by the contradiction. “You know, I donated that money out of friendship,” Pagliuca said. “Mitt Romney hired me and I worked with him for 15, 16 years. So I didn’t share political views. But Barney Frank has supported Republicans in certain ways and this for me came out of friendship, not out of politics.” That friendship is also what made Pagliuca rich. It was Romney who hired him to work at a then-fledgling Bain Capital in the 1980s. Bain is now a $60 billion venture capital and private equity firm, where Pagliuca is still a managing partner. Pagliuca says he’s campaigning as the “jobs candidate” because of his track record at Bain. But that’s perhaps the sharpest contrast in Pagliuca’s candidacy. His campaign slogan is “Pags = Jobs,” but the history of Bain Capital reveals a company that excels in the art of the leveraged buy-out. This is a process in which Bain often banks huge profits, but sometimes leaves acquired companies saddled with enormous debt. Some of those companies have been forced to make massive layoffs. The process begs the question: What’s the real bottom line at Bain Capital? Wealth creation for investors or job creation for workers? When asked, Pagliuca hedged. “Well, you know, that’s a complex question,” Pagliuca said. “What venture capital does is invest in new ideas and venture capital will fund them. Funding them is creating thousands of jobs because they essentially created a new industry.” But Bain Capital also buys out established businesses in old industries, such as KB Toys and Dade International, both of which resulted in the lay off of hundreds of workers. Pressed on this, Pagliuca hedged even more. “There’s investments in public companies and there’s debt in public companies, and there’s job creation and there’s job losses, and the job losses mainly come from competition, from global competition,” he said. “And those job losses in the United States now are 15 million unemployed. And there are 320,000 in Massachusetts. That’s why I got into this race, to try to reverse that.” There’s another inconsistency that hounds Pagliuca on the campaign trail. He proudly proclaims that he’s not taking any lobbyist or special interest funding. He rails against money’s influence in government. Bain Capital, however, has spent millions of dollars on multiple lobbying groups in an attempt to exert significant influence in Washington.”
