I am an American with a Top Secret security clearance. I just finished my second year working in Iraq. This last year was as an employee of Pacific Architects and Engineers; a division of Lockheed/Martin at the US Embassy in Baghdad.
I would like you to be advised that the management of this company are guilty of fraud against their US Government contract and the American taxpayers; and they are guilty of discrimination against American citizens; both of which are acts of treason.
The facts of the accusation of fraud are this; to start with, their logistics organization is a joke. If an order is placed; it is a year or more before it is filled. If it is filled; it is usually with an inferior product made in a foreign country; rather than the superior American product that was ordered. The lack of materials makes the requirements of the contract difficult, if not impossible, to meet. It has a serious negative impact on the work being done. A few months ago, after an internal audit, the company came up missing three million dollars. The long serving financial manager and logistics manager left in the middle of the night. Were they involved? Nobody knows. One time, $500K of water pumps showed up; nobody knew who ordered them; or anything else about them. A special dispensation from State Dept. was required to make payment. Was it fraudulent? A different manager was fired because of involvement in a prostitution ring; which was tied in with the American contractor who was murdered in the IZ last summer. He is back working with another contractor; which means the State Dept. was not notified. That is a serious security violation. The entire management team is unqualified and layered so heavily that there is no actual responsibility or accountability. They carve out personal fiefdoms; and nothing gets done. They are stealing from American taxpayers.
PAE has no respect for American rule of law. I found out, that on my 2008 W-2 form; the one that was filed for me in the State of Virginia; was fraudulent. They knowingly were fraudulent in that filing, it caused me to pay taxes to the state of Virginia that I did not owe. That is a felony. The workers recently received a memo stating that FICA payments for the last year were underpaid. They have foreign nationals from third world countries known for corruption; Kenya and Romania; working in their offices with unfettered access to American social security numbers; putting us at risk for ID theft. They have unsupervised foreign nationals handling US mail; which is a violation of the US Postal Code. Last June, when I injured my shoulder at work, they sent me to their Romanian doctor, if he is a doctor, which has not been proven. He gave me a non FDC approved drug which poisoned my liver. When I demanded to see a military doctor; which is my right under Federal labor law; it was denied. I may have permanent liver damage which will shorten my life because of their negligence. There is no doubt in my mind that if a PAE American worker were to be seriously injured; they would face certain death due to the company’s cavalier attitude to their responsibility to the health and well being of their American workers, and their responsibility under American law. They would cause the death or disability of an American, and not care, because of the impact on their income statement.
The most disturbing aspect of their conduct is the daily acts of treason against American citizens. Every single day, the attitude of management is that the Americans are a necessary evil. If they had their way there would be no Americans here at all. Greed reigns supreme for company profit. Every employee is allotted $10 a day spending money, and a $10 phone card per month. Both are handed out to the Kenyans and Romanians first; the company constantly runs out of funds and phone cards; which means the Americans go without. They have clothing uniform policy; which I have refused to comply with, because of their treason ; the foreign nationals have well fitting, seasonal clothing. The Americans are given ill fitting, winter wear to wear in 140 degree summers. I know of Americans who were told to go to the PX and buy their own uniform pants. They were not reimbursed. All Americans on the compound are required to be certified in a trade or occupation. The foreign nationals they bring in are largely un, or undereducated and untrained. They are doing substandard work; which is bad enough; however, given the substandard work done by First Kuwaiti; the foreign company that built our Embassy; that is doubly unforgivable. Our Embassy was built to Third World standards; using the worst construction methods and materials I have ever seen in my thirty years in the trades. Even with the current economic conditions in the US; with our double digit unemployment; they are still bringing in untrained Kenyans. That is an act of treason. Last month I was staying after work for two or three hours to utilize the faster wireless computer network at the Embassy. I am taking online college courses and need a fast connection. Every night I got on the bus to go to my quarters; it was full of foreign PAE night shift workers leaving work 8 hours early. My manager said the company was aware of this. There is no accountability. The company is building living quarters next door to the Embassy to eliminate the ten minute bus ride from the present day living quarters. Their plan is to move the foreign nationals in first. That leaves the higher value American citizens open for kidnapping, injury or death in an increasingly dangerous IZ, since the Iraqis are taking over security. They are willing to see an American harmed or killed to protect a foreigner, that is an act of treason.
The company attitude towards Americans comes from the top down. Their operations in Moscow, Baghdad, and Beijing; the three most critical posts in the world; are run by a Russian National , named Yalena Raben. She has expressed hatred toward Americans. She has been quoted on the Baghdad post as saying “the Romanians come first, the Kenyans come second, and the Americans come last”. I believe it, I have seen firsthand her hatred of Americans. The hostile work environment the American citizens, working at their own Embassy; which makes it American soil; are under is extreme. Morale is extremely low. They are treated like wetbacks while foreign nationals are treated like American citizens. Why the foreign nationals treated better than Americans? The soldiers at the gym; the ones with the prosthetic legs; they weren’t Kenyan or Romanian; they were American. Americans have paid a heavy price for this war; the foreign nationals have paid not one cent. That woman; Yolanda Raben; is a threat to the National Security of our country. The management of this company should be stripped of their citizenship and made to live in Kenya or Romania since they hate America so much. These people need to be stripped of their government contracts. There is no doubt in my mind they would sell secrets to our enemies, by committing treason against American citizens in a war zone; they have proven they are capable of it.
