by Chosun.com McNeil Technologies, by mcneiltech.com Veritas Capital, by veritascapital.com Friday April 20, 2007 The older sister of Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-hui works for McNeil Technologies, a contractor for the State Department in a reconstruction project in Iraq. Three years her brother’s senior, Cho Sun-kyung graduated from Centerville High School and went to Princeton University in 2000. After completing the undergraduate course with a major in economics in 2004, she returned home to work in Virginia and lives with her parents. Headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, McNeil Technologies provides information management and analysis, language services and program assistance to customers, mainly U.S. government agencies like the departments of defense and energy. A colleague of Cho said she is on indefinite leave to overcome the shock of learning that her brother killed 32 people in the U.S.’ worst campus shooting spree. At college, Cho took part in Princeton’s International Internship Program and talked in the university’s weekly bulletin about her internship experiences, one of five interns featured in the bulletin’s Nov. 24, 2003 edition. Cho also took a three-month economics internship in the summer before her senior year at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. Using her experience as an intern in the State Department's International Labor Office in the summer of 2002, she studied working conditions in Thailand. Cho recalls her shock at seeing young Burmese girls manufacture garments and porcelain in sweatshops on the Thai-Burmese border. The experience was so significant that she changed the focus of her senior thesis to a more labor-related topic after returning to campus. She described the internship as “the most amazing three months of her life.” In the Princeton Organization, Sun-kyung volunteered to help young people suffering from trauma after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Monday’s events have dealt a devastating blow to the American dream of a woman who seems to have done everything right. Va. Tech Shooter's Sister Works With State Department
Princeton Graduate Once Interned at
U.S. Embassy in Bangkok April 17, 2007 — - The sister of Seung-hui Cho, the man accused of carrying out the worst day of violence on a college campus in U.S. history, works out of the State Department as a contractor, government officials told ABC News. Sun-Kyung Cho, the shooter's older sister, is listed in the State Department directory as a personnel assistant at the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, but sources say she reports to McNeil Technologies, which is one of the many administrative/managerial support contractors used for Iraq reconstruction management projects. Ms. Cho graduated from Princeton University in 2004 with an undergraduate degree in economics. This evening, Princeton is planning a candlelight vigil in remembrance of those who lost their lives at Virginia Tech Monday. In an interview with the Princeton Weekly Bulletin, Cho said that in 2003, she spent the "most amazing three months of my life" as an unpaid intern in the economics section of the U.S. embassy in Bangkok. According to the online article, Cho also interned the previous summer at the State Department's international labor office. She filed a story for the campus newspaper and also volunteered for a Princeton organization that was formed to create social and cultural programs for young people affected by the attacks of Sept. 11. While at Princeton, Cho wrote her 54-page thesis on "Wage Earning: A Case Study of the Hmong and Korean Populations in the State of California." Before attending Princeton, she graduated from Centreville High School in 2000. Phone messages left with McNeil Technologies were not immediately returned. Copyright © 2007 ABC News Internet Ventures WAYNE MADSEN REPORT April 20-22, 2007 -- Mass killer Cho Seung Hui's link to Iraq occupation and private military contractors. It has been discovered that Cho's older sister, identified as Cho Sun Kyung by South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper, works as a contractor for the State Department's Iraq Reconstruction Management Office. Her employer is McNeil Technologies of Springfield, Virginia. McNeil, which was involved in prisoner interrogations for the Defense Department, is owned by Veritas [AB-1] Capital, a defense industry acquisitions firm that also owns two other Defense and US intelligence contractors, Dyncorp International [AB-2] and selected remnants of the former company of Mitchell Wade (of Duke Cunningham infamy), MZM Inc., renamed Athena Innovative Solutions, Inc. [AB-3] Cho Sun Kyung is three years older than her brother. While attending Princeton, Cho's sister served a stint as an intern at the US Embassy in Bangkok, where among other tasks, she studied the plight of Burmese migrant workers on the Thai-Burmese border.

Inscribed overhead, on the south wall, were words from Scripture, John 8:32: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." There was no hint of irony about it, though daily, covert officers trained in deception pass through the lobby, their identities a construct of lies intended to produce some greater truth. [AB-2] Enron: Ultimate Agent of the American Empire, by Larry Chin wrote: Board member and finance committee chairman Herbert "Pug" Winokur is a long-time Washington and Wall Street insider, intimately tied to military and intelligence communities. Winokur is the CEO of the private Capricorn Holdings. Capricorn is the lead investor of DynCorp. He was the chairman of DynCorp's board of from 1987 to 1997, and remains a DynCorp board member and chair of its compensation committee. Winokur's Capricorn Holdings was used as an investment vehicle in NHP, which from 1987 to 1997 was linked to massive HUD housing fraud and money laundering. Crossing the Rubicon, by Michael C. Ruppert wrote: Catherine Austin Fitts connected the dots in a 2002 article which told us that not only had Winokur chaired the Enron finance committee and escaped federal scrutiny, he was also a lead investor in, and creator of, a company called DynCorp (now CSC-DynCorp) that has lucrative vaccine and biowarfare contracts. Through documentary videos, military investigations, and even its employees, DynCorp has been connected to a child prostitution/sex slavery ring in Bosnia. 10 So ubiquitous is DynCorp that we will see its hands all over the map in connection with 9/11 and the ruling of America. DynCorp is everywhere. It manages the Congressional telephone system. Along with Lockheed-Martin, it does the computerized bookkeeping for a dozen federal agencies including the DoD and HUD, which have lost (or allowed to be stolen) trillions of taxpayer dollars. It also has a contract to manage the police and court systems in US-occupied Iraq. 9/11 Synthetic Terrorism Made in USA, by Webster Griffin Tarpley wrote: In the spring of 2004, there were 25,000 employees of private military firms in Iraq. In addition to the inevitable Halliburtons and Bechtels, these mercenaries included employees of Vinnell Corporation, who received the task of training the new Iraqi army. Dyncorp, a competitor of Vinnell, received the contract for training the new Iraqi police. Promis, by Michael C. Ruppert wrote: DynCorp handles everything for Uncle Sam from aircraft maintenance, to sheep-dipping of combat troops into private assault forces in Colombia, to the financial management of HUD records, to the maintenance of computer security at government facilities. One of DynCorp's most interesting contracts is with the DoJ for the financial management of assets seized in the drug war. DynCorp also counts among its shareholders former CIA Director James Woolsey. [AB-3] Hephaestus or Vulcan: Artisan of the Gods, by Tracy Marks Several stories tell that Hephaestus, unhappy in marriage, turned his attention to Athena, who also spurned him. In fact, he fell in love with her the moment he released her from Zeus' head, and again when she came to his forge, seeking for him to make for her a spear. When he tried to initiate intercourse, Athena rejected him, and he spilled his seed upon her leg. As she fled, his sperm fell on the earth, and resulted in the birth of Erichtonius, who was initially carried in Gaia's womb.
Athena Scorning the Advances of Hephaestus by Paris Bordone [AB-4] CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons, by Dana Priest wrote: The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement. The secret facility is part of a covert prison system set up by the CIA nearly four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries, including Thailand, Afghanistan and several democracies in Eastern Europe, as well as a small center at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, according to current and former intelligence officials and diplomats from three continents. The hidden global internment network is a central element in the CIA's unconventional war on terrorism. It depends on the cooperation of foreign intelligence services, and on keeping even basic information about the system secret from the public, foreign officials and nearly all members of Congress charged with overseeing the CIA's covert actions. The existence and locations of the facilities -- referred to as "black sites" in classified White House, CIA, Justice Department and congressional documents -- are known to only a handful of officials in the United States and, usually, only to the president and a few top intelligence officers in each host country.
