Privatizing US Military: Blackwater, Xe, Triple Canopy, etc

[freedumbification]

Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!! Corporate America man they are torturing people for profits man. Watching this video made me want to fuck a tree so hard.

PS guns are evil

[1nosferatu2]

@crossfitmerc So you have worked as a contracter and believe you know everything about what's going on behind the curtains re privatized warfare? Impossible. Typical misconception.

[phrox]

lost in the sauce

[rionveda]

Ha...did you see that guy get crazy when the kid with the scarf was talking. How ridiculous was he? He thought he was bad. "you ain't bad!"

[david3165]

@rionveda Stick with cats and Japonica Anime...you're too young to have an informed opinion. The dude with the "scarf" needs to learn to defend his position with both words and deeds otherwise he'll end up like Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal with a walk on the wild side. The so-called scarf represents this meme's attempt to effect a "Middle Eastern" Che Guevara revolutionary pose after which he went to Starbuck's to unwind with his effete contemporaries and bask in the comfort America affords him.

[killuminatiunited141]

@rionveda he was saying cite the attrocities! haha/lol rthats a laugh I beleive in factual logical debate but thats on piece of common knowledge that the average informed person wouldnt take time to focus on....that fool needs to chill his shit why is it insulting to honorable service to note that there is crime and corruption running parrallel in our responsibility free private/public military!

[coraliscopuselaborat]

whatever the geneva convention wont let us do, civilian contractors can and will to get the job done. face it, its war. war takes money and makes money. we are fighting a country that doesnt follow the geneva convention. those civilian contractors are a huge help and asset. its like the jordan in this "game" of basketball. not to mention, the majority of those civilian contractors are prior military spec ops. so jus cuz they dont wear the uniform anymore, the tactics learned are not wasted

[WashagoAce]

who the fuck is that nobody at 52:07, thinking he is some tough guy. Hey asshole did you just wake up? Playing the military card like you were actually in it. Fuck off asshole. Also any comments bashing this guy should actually pick up a book or do some research into what you bash, Scahill is legitimate, one of the good guys.

[HexTest]

While I don't agree with everything they said, I'm glad this vid was posted.

[Hellogoodbye90gm]

@aholroydsd You wrote this a long time ago, but i felt like writing this. What you seem to say is that only the USAF use UAVs, although that is incorrect.. The Navy (Don't remember the MOS), USAF (1U0X1), Army (15W), and Marines (7314) all use UAV. Also it is fact that XE uses UAVs also.

[DirtyDeeds0513]

Pro- contract shooters. Somebody TRY to stop them... hahahahaha Never going to happen! hahah

[joefriendly]

@aholroydsd Seems you're just beginning your youtube adventure. Welcome aboard. Are you in the military or a contractor? Jeremy Scahill is quite prolific in researching Blackwater. He's a truthful guy. Search for his writings and learn the real truth. If you want to research my claims about Saddam Hussein I suggest you check out the writings and talks of Ralph Schoenmann and review the facts he presents, which fully support what I've stated here. Uncle Sam is a war criminal, unfortunately.

[MattHughes2011]

@joefriendly Have you ever worked for or in the US government? Do you actually know what goes on other than what you find in YouTube videos or what you're crack-addicted Liberal teachers tell you?

[joefriendly]

@MattHughes2011 So, you wanna know if I ever worked for Uncle Sam so I'd really know what's going on. Fortunately there are other ways than working for the evil empire to know of their evil deeds. So you are claiming the US is not a Big Bully? and that US State Department and their Pentagon henchmen and private contractors are acting out of good motives? to secure American Interests? duh. So, Matt, do tell us all what does go on up close in the life of a marine or are you bound to secrecy?

[MattHughes2011]

@joefriendly Once you're done trying to portray yourself as an enlightened individual, I just want you to consider the benefits of having a first-hand experience with what you're argueing against.

If you've never actually had anything to do with the US government on a personal level, you're the same, in my eyes, as a pissed off mother of a dead soldier who read an article one time about conspiracy theories within the United States; now protesting the government over what she thinks she knows.

[badattitude77769]

The wealthy elites bloodlines go back hundreds of years, their wives are ugly, interbred, the nurses in england know that they, the so called elite, have entire familys to run the news media, government, corporations.

their own sons and daughters are trained to be sluts for mommy and daddy, such an embarrassment to humanity.

[crossfitmerc]

I love how you say to give truth a chance yet all you have done is read a few books and googled shit. I personally have worked for several "contracting" companies and know what I am talking about. You are full of shit.

[joefriendly]

crossfitmerc.

You claim you know what you're talking about but haven't done any talking yet except to do some crude name calling.

You've been doing contracting for several companies. Has the force and violence you were hired to dispense really been defensible? Not a war crime or two, or 3?

What governments have you helped prop up? The US military and its contractors made a mess of Iraq and Afghanistan. More than a million dead. For what? The US installed Saddam Hussein in the first place!

[carone8086]

@joefriendly did you forget how many poeple SADDAM Hussien killed in his 32 years of power Or how many poeple the Talbin killed. Ive been to both places you dont know what youre talking abouting

[joefriendly]

@carone8086 The US military and contractors have killed more than 10 times more people than Saddam killed in 30 years. We're approaching 2 million dead, then more casualties, not to mention 2 million we forced to leave their homes. Further, a point above you neglected, the US installed Saddam in power in the first place so whoever he killed is blood on Our Hands! Further still, the US directed Saddam to make war with Iran, causing thousands more to die on both sides.

For no good reason at all!

[carone8086]

@joefriendly First off all those Iraqis were given money for there houses. Second off have you been over there becuase I have so dont give me all this bullshit fact I know clearly you made up. Becuase I grante that Saddam would never pulblish all the Rapes killing and Tourcher to his own Poeple. He use chemical Weapons on his own Poeple and the US is the bad guy

[badattitude77769]

do you remember when donald rumsfeld was the broker of sarin gas, antrhax, helicopters to saddam?

[badattitude77769]

thank you brother for standing up for the innocent children.

[badattitude77769]

the satanic war on terror is a lie, saddam was barbaric, but he gave the people of the baath party beautiful highways, free health care, free college education, Iraq had more phd's than any other country on earth, when the bush familia crime cartel, with all thier lies for war came in, they destroyed millions of childrens lives. sanctions killed over one half million childrens lives before the gay so called war on terror, the children suffered first, do a search: devil sign jesus saviour. and wh

[joefriendly]

@crossfitmerc

Scott Horton has online and in coming March issue of Harpers an article about torture and murder at Guantanamo's secret Camp "No" of 3 innocent prisoners.

The official statement falsely called it suicides. Rear Admiral Harry Harris ordered all personnel not to talk about it.

After Obama got in, a discharged Sergeant Hickman got lawyers to press for an FBI and then Congressional investigation but found the Justice Dept preferred to squelch it.

Military crime!

Cool with that?

[badattitude77769]

I remember a picture on the cover of the wall street journal of an army man attorney, he recused himself from the case, knowing that his client was tortured into a confession. Nazi Amerika, torture is called sadomasochism, read the pink swastika.

[russkeller]

I feel like I have to point out the obvious here. The snyde sniping comments about "Right Wingers" are the kind of crap that keeps this from being a non-partisan issue like it should be when the "Left Wingers" go deafeningly silent on this issue because they're "Party" in power.

It too much to ask for common sense and knock that crap off?  There's only one party in Washington, and Republican vs Democrat is just theater both sides lie to your face about to get elected.

[joefriendly]

Our first comments of 350 views!

Could it be you guys like playing soldier?

Have you figured out yet that US military actions around the world have not been worth fighting because they have not been about defense and promoting freedom and democracy but about world domination by the US for economic advantage? Our military have been committing lots of war crimes!

Jeremy Scahill's latest in The Nation: "Blackwater's Secret War in Pakistan," is about assassinations and other nastiness.

[joefriendly]

The US has been using military force to maintain and expand its domination of the world all along.

William Blum's books, like Killing Hope and Rogue Nation, spell that out in detail, as do the books and talks of Noam Chomsky, some here on the Joe Friendly Channel. Using contractors as part of that military force is but a slight variation. Have you been believing our military was for promoting freedom and democracy? That is what our leaders wanted you to believe, but not so, unfortunately.

[joefriendly]

The US installed Saddam Hussein as ruler of Iraq after paying him to assassinate their beloved leader Qasim. Before making him Iraq's leader the US had him torture to death about 50,000 Iraqis to prove he was the kind of character we were looking for, a puppet to govern in harmony with US interests.

Googling Schoenman + Qasim + Hussein will get you to the actual facts.

Influence is one thing; subversion and domination another. Mercenaries are more willing servants of such evil aims.

[joefriendly]

Kugluktuk,

I appreciate your patient manner in discussing this vexing issue.

Yes, not all mercenaries are civilian killers.

Did you try to read Ralph Schoenman's report on Hussein and Qasim? It took Saddam 3 tries before assassinating Qasim. Egypt was the conduit for payment. Hussein attacked Iran on orders from Brezinski and Rumsfeld.

Have you checked out the 2 Chomsky talks on this channel that provide perspective on how the US maintains cruel and destructive world domination?

[joefriendly]

Having chosen the path of War and Security Studies, presumably at Hull, for you now to learn that US foreign policy is and has been destructive, cruel, disgraceful, criminal, might indeed give you pause. Spouting such notions to your teachers and classmates would not go over well insofar as continuing in Security Studies and being subject to their propaganda and rationalizations.

William Blum worked for the State Department, quit in disgust and began writing his books. Give truth a chance

[joefriendly]

Reminds me of when Dorothy Parker was asked to make up a sentence with horticulture.

She came up with, "You can bring a whore to culture, but you can't make her think."

The reasons you give for not reading Blum and Schoenman are that they are un-American or are propagandists. Now you say Blum is only one man. Come on, read them and check out their footnotes and sources and evaluate their assertions of fact fairly and openly. They are people of truth! Give truth a chance! Then maybe quit Hull

[joefriendly]

@kugluktuk18

Yes, there is no point in continuing the debate. You refuse to read the evidence presented by Blum and Schoenman. That's not giving truth a chance.

Your chosen path at Hull, War for economic advantage, is criminal and shameful: Domination of the World by the US and allies, Subverting Democracy, Installing Puppet Governments, Manipulation by Debt, Covert Actions, Assassinations.

John Perkins' confessions set it out clearly. Videos of him, Philip Agee and Chomsky are online.

[paulagloria]

@kugluktuk18

What do you thinkof Shoenman not going into the details of "THE" holocaust? How Reader's digest ran a story about the 6 million figure before the camps were liberated and so on? He never deals with that thus I agree with you he is a problem.

I, myself am a product of the Marshall Plan....my mom went to Greece after WWII as a secretary and met my father in Athens. I was born in 1951

[paulagloria]

@kugluktuk18

why did you remove your comments???!!! They were wonderful and I love Joe. Thank god he got me to read them first

[Dubbled697]

liberal slob

[kinkbotx]

what a fat liberal fuck.

[joefriendly]

and another thing! . . .

Your complaining about the shape of the law professor doing the introductions is a tipoff you

didn't get to the meat of the matter, listening to Susan Burke, Scott Horton, Jeremy and the audience! That's faking it, pal, and you just got caught. Give truth a chance. really

try watching the whole vid

try actually opening your . . .

do you want a real democracy to happen here?

as different from what we got now

bribery instead of actual democracy in our stately DC
