The Siemens Corporation is one of several enormous Technological equipment companies like General Electric, Samsung and LG in South Korea, Hitachi and many others in Japan and other advanced countries including even Elbit in Israel.
When it comes to international sales of such technology with weapons-related functions for decades, such sales sometimes have been limited by free country governments because of obvious National Security considerations.
If my memory is not too flawed, I seem to remember Siemens sold lots of such ‘stuff’ to Saddam Hussein’s oil-rich Iraq. I also do not recall Germany ever enforcing anti-bribery laws against its corporations in their international sales to Tyrannies. Maybe I am wrong – but I don’t think so.
I believe it might be informative if the Treasury Department studied the Siemens records of such sales to Iran after the 1978-79 IRG violent coup d’etat that seized the country from Civilization and brought back pre-medieval barbarism into the Modern World.
I most especially wonder, year by year, how much ‘business’ Siemens did with the Iranian Terror State after the 1983 Marine Barracks massacre and the 1985-86 kidnapping and torturing to death of Beirut Station Chief William Francis Buckley.
