Blackwater Invades Illinois Part 2

[sulfurousstench]

good speech. the music is too loud

[TerroristLarryPhillp]

well private firms get payied by the DOD from there contracts they have with the government but there not "APART of the government" and there is no different from private security military contractors then there is for normla D.o.D. personal'

This guy is really in-accurate i think he made that phoney book "blackwater rise of the blah blah"

where not mercenarys because mercenaries actitive , behavior is illegal

you read the difference between someone hired too do LLC and merc. hired to kill

[Gangularis]

actually, he's wrong. He states that 3/4 of a million iraqis have been killed. That's actually just an estimate. The number of actual, documented, civilian Iraqi deaths is around 100k ... That said, I don't disagree with the estimate of 3/4 of a million, I'm just saying that it's an estimate, and he might not want to portray it as factual information.

[M1lko01]

@Gangularis is not completely truth mate,just during the fallujah fight more than 15k

of civilians where killed..so you can imagine how many civilians were killed since the start of the war.an ONU estimation has reached the conclusion approsimatively 1 million of civilians where killed during the iraqi war.

[90583me]

lovin this video!! leave me a comment

want to chat with singles CV

[lkout71]

simple stat from the cdc. more americans murdered other americans last year than have died in iraq since we have been there.

[seephor]

I think Scahill missed a major major point when he was referring to the mass media showing compassion at Virginia Tech and 9/11. You see, Those two events were given the much attention because those events were part of a much larger picture. The picture Virginia Tech is part of is the "disarming America" campaign. By showing these images enough to the public, they will gain support for laws that take your constitutional right to hold arms away. 9/11 is a pretty obvious one.

[palou411]

This guy (Jeremy Scahill) is amazing, smart and people should pay more attention to what the US goverment is doing with its soldiers, money and with this society!!! We are a nation of good, but with too many ignorant people, selfish for the worst!!! Kudos to Jeremy Scahill!!!

[PlasticJesus341]

"They who gouge out the public's eyes reproach them of their blindness."

~John Milton

Don't blame the American people. Blame the amazing success of the American media which is controlled by the government and corporations who love war. This is the country that gave us Abaraham Lincoln...blame the capitalist system that runs on the blood of the workers and forces ignorance on its consumers.

[jcrawford00]

true that

[blobperson]

the u.s. only cares about the u.s.,its sickining

[photofu]

wow this is heavy, great speech. stop this fucking war.

[necrotheist]

you're a fucking grown up, moderate yourselves, be responsible for yourselves. This goverment bullshit is for all you unconscious premies who can't take care of yourselves physically and mentally.

[necrotheist]

stands in their way physically. I mean it's written all over the place, all those old fucks in power understand is force. And there isn't a big brother or a mother figure, or godlike figure we can go to. We have to band together and get out of our goddamn houses, off the fucking computers and remove those people by force if we have to. Now you say if we "reduce" ourselves to violence like they do, we are as bad as them. NO! part of being an adult is to know what is needed and how to properly do

[necrotheist]

Eh, I keep hearing the same shit over and over, we gotta stop this war and shit. But nobody's doing anything, just talking talking talking. I understand that knowledge is important, and must come before action, but we need action. You can stand hear and pout all this bullshit about what they're doing is wrong, but if you're not going to do anything, what's it worth? They don't give a shit about all your hearsay, they're acting, and they have been and will continue to do so until something

[CMARPAT]

This guy is making up his 'Facts' if he wasnt there he knows nothing end of story.

He should go work for Al- Jeezera with all his bullshit

[agitcam]

You are completely wrong. He was in Iraq and his facts are correct. You are just another deluded tool of Fascist Korporate Amerika. Pres. Eisenhower warned what would happen if we didn't control the war mongering corporations and his worst fears have come to pass. We now have dolts like you who have fallen for the lies of the Neocons and the military industrial complex.

[tgambill]

agitcam....you are exactly right....!!!!!!!

[warhater]

KmartRat-You are a terrorist if you support fascist Bushitler thugs who continue their genocidal violence against Iraq & many other nations. For centuries, the U.S. has had a bad habit of bribing small nation leaders who will let us steal resources from them. A practice that makes other nation citizens wretchedly poor. No wonder the big tuff USA, that failed miserably to defend its own Pentagon HQ, is worried about small nations acquiring nuclear power. Too bad we nolonger control the world.

[Excalibur01]

Just because a guy thinks another way doesnt make him a "Fascist Korporate Amerika" tool. We're entitled to our opinion and ppl who throws insults like that dont know what they're talking about. There's too much fear over some of the things that's going on.

[warhater]

ExCockleBurr-The death of anyone killed war, whether Iraqi or American, is enormously serious business.Such goes far beyond polite protocol & into emergency status.The huge amount of misinformation by the USA gov't created the fear you describe. USA citizens war with their gov't in a battle 4 truth against non compliance of our hallowed Constitution.Extreme chaos is the result of this destruction. If U can't handle the fight then just stand on the sidelines,'cuz things could get alot worse.

[tgambill]

I was in the Marines for 12 years.We, funded, Lenin, Bolsheviks, Hitler [Prescott Bush was lead with DuPonts, Rockefellers et al], lied in Kosovo, I lived there from 1999 to 2004 in security and saw how we supported the Albanian Mafia and covertly Al Qaeda while they hid in the Charity groups. NO time in our history have we fought for Democracy. ALL of our wars have been orchestrated by the CFR, Bilderbergers et al made the enemies and then lied to make it seem like fighting for freedom. LIES!

[damone70]

Shut the fuck up you ignorant panty waste...you probably support Bush too.

[CMARPAT]

Im not the ignorant panty waste complaining about war am I?

Also, your gay, learn to live with it.

[damone70]

Hey asswipe, good 4th grade comeback... I served my duty to uncle sam, douche bag. It's sad ignoramus's like you are to simple minded and frightened to view the facts.

[CMARPAT]

I have viewed the facts, and they do not add up to what Scahill and others like you seem to 'find' about BW. I have viewed the facts, and I have come to this conclusion. Although BW has had its incidents, that doesnt mean BW is some corparation out to 'rule the world' like people like you suggest. Thats is like saying since My Lai, everyone in the Army are evil people.What Jeremy Scahill promotes is in itself a stereotypical view of BW, and indirectly the US military and Administration.

Fag.

[damone70]

You seem to like and use the words "fag" and "gay" a lot.. It seems like you're projecting what you try to hide from yourself onto others. We live in an age where it's okay to admit that you're gay, no one's judging here. :)

[CMARPAT]

Wow, who wins the competition for 4th grade combacks now? Notice how Damone70 didnt have any counterpoints to what I said, I.e. meaning he hasnt a fucking clue and he is some ignorant liberal-brainwashed prick.

And I was thinking of using imbecile, but the character count only allowed 3 more letters. Hence, fag.

Service to uncle sam? you seem pretty okay with being gay, maybe you got kicked out of the military? maybe it had something to do with 'Dont ask, dont tell?'

You are a Moron.

[damone70]

What don't I have a clue about? I'm gay? That's not what your mom said last week when she was gargling with my balls in her mouth. :)

[CMARPAT]

Wow. You really do prove my point. You really friggin do...

I think its your bed time pal, so get off the computer and be a good little girl for mommy and daddy ok?

And you still havent proven what....."Shut the fuck up you ignorant panty waste...you probably support Bush too." had to do with what I said in the first place. You are the ignoramus.

oh and my mom doesnt take an interest to stupid liberals like you, sorry pal but the only people who did the sucking are you :)

[bassdudeA7X]

Dotveoh- I understand what you mean, but remember you aren't Bush. You shouldn't be ashamed that you are American, you should be proud. Many might hates us but we're always the ones who atleast try to help a conflict then liberals and misinformed citizens but we aren't killers ere just portrayed that way.

[warhater]

Blackwater murders all day/All who get in their way/ Yet many victims are innocent/ Blackwater kills them anyway/ For it is they who say/ Who dies for their brutal convenience Playing God on everyone/They think it fun/ Spoiled children like to be Superman But they can no longer survive/Without making people die/ For them, a peaceful setting's long gone Criminals with no laws/Don't correct gaping flaws And the USA thinks their okay Playing God is fun/As they choose many or one

[CMARPAT]

Thats every librals war cry 'No Iraqi 9/11 terrorist' grow up that doesnt mean shit. Iraq was not a soveregien nation.

[warhater]

CarParts- Okay, Einstein, I'll spell it correctly for you & also give you the legal definition: Sovereign-the intentional independence of a state, combined with the right & power of regulating its internal affairs WITHOUT foreign interference. Guess what? This makes Bushitler+thugs int'l war CRIMINALS, since the USA already has murdered more than 1,000,000 innocent Iraqis FOR NOTHING! Get it? There's a new thing out called reading. You might have heard of it.

[CMARPAT]

Well did Iraq have the right to regulate its own internal affairs? no, Saddam did though. and where do you get your 1 million killed from? And if we are war criminals for 'foriegn interfernce' then what does that make the Insurgent forces (comprising of Iranis, sryians, pakis, and some asians believe it or not) Iraqis hate insurgents because of the Insurgents crimes against Iraqis, Most like the US.

Also have the decency to say my account name right, it shows major ignorancy on your part.

[DeathCmsRipn426]

ok think of this the next war we get in to, and we will get in another war, would you want just the American Military over there fighting with their little pockets of special forces? or would you also want another private army made up of primarily experienced ex-special forces, SWAT, and other branches of the armed forces, cause the majority of the people in private military firms have a great deal of experience. I say give Blackwater a offencive play'n card.

Long live Blackwater!!!

[kanigo8]

Those same "experienced forces", will come home to the USA and start enforcement here, remember we are a nation of laws. These Forces Do Not Obey laws and they outgun our own police that do obey the laws(most the time).

[trotwoodrose]

We need to bring our people home

[trotwoodrose]

Blackwater has got to go

Bush needs to be tried for war crimes

[SFShooter01]

Fuck Scahill and all those who follow his bs propaganda! its a fucking war you idiots!!! nobody really wins, except for those who gain and retain freedom!!! Idiots

[agitcam]

You are an ignorant vulgar tool of the military industrial complex. You should not open your mouth or write anything then no one will realize how stupid you are. You should just do what your warmonger masters say and soon you will be in hell.

[SFShooter01]

Been there done that, its too chilly in hell, next time ill powder coat my comments in sugar and cream just to please you! LOL

[shwang03]

War Monger? We did not opt to enter into this war from the acts of the terrorists. Now they are having the rain of hurt shower down upon them. So are we to pity them? We have a objective to achieve. Neutralize the enemy and restore order. With your rhetoric, I wonder if Scahill supporters have an ounce of patriotic bone within them.

[agitcam]

In my opinion those who stand up and object to this disgusting war are the best of patriots. They are the ones with the real courage. It doesn't take much courage or patriotism to follow along like a sheep hiding under the flag and behind the false front of corporate media lies. This war is about stealing another nations oil and the Inperailism of Amerikan Korporations. It has nothing to do with Democracy.

[shwang03]

Hiding under the flag? We are engaging terrorists with any means possible due to our government red tape. Media lies? Have you seen the crap that is being broadcasted as well as the Scahill being misinformed... Blackwater and the other contractors are the democratic front helping push the war effort.

[warhater]

MicroscopicSchwang-If you are referring to the USA made, Iraq Genocide, where 1,oo,ooo innocent elders, women & children have been murdered FOR NOTHING! Guess what, dude, no Iraqi terrorist was involved in the 911 massacre. NONE! In fact, the Iraqis hated Osama at the time, & the USA knew it. But after all, the NEOmorons, led by fascist Reflublicant BusHitler thugs, had wanted to invade Iraq for a long a time, so they USED 911 as a reason to illegally invade & occupy Iraq, a sovereign nation.

[shwang03]

Agreed. Scahill is just a self promoter that raises issues he has no idea about especially when national security is at stake. The truth is all the hot air that he bellows Blackwater is here to stay. He's nothing more any an noisy squeaky wheel.

[damone70]

Wow, you really are a moron..What does "SF Shoter" stand for special forces? Hide behind your little gun you cowardly pussy.

[Dotveoh]

OMG! i ashamed to be an American! We i lost our Good name thanks to Bush...

[CMARPAT]

Im ashamed you would even think,say, and write that. You do know that about 40% of Blackwater are foreigners right? Also....wow I still cant believe your ashamed of living in one of the most 'free-est' countries in the world because of one little liberal bleeding heart propaganda video, one that is NOT EVEN BACKED UP WITH COLD HARD FACTS!!!!!!!!

[Dotveoh]

free-est good word but are we really free? the gov, can listen to my call anytime they want! What part of this is Free! i can go on for days listing this that gov can do! without a warrant!

[CMARPAT]

I make phone calls too and it doesnt bother me, besides when they listen in, do they stop you while your talking? No.

What do you appreciate more, a Gov'nt that does nothing to protect or one that does everything to protect?

[Dotveoh]

I would appreciate a gov. that would protect me within the law! NO ONE IS above the LAW! INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT!

[CMARPAT]

Again, explain where they have circumvented the law?

[bib777]

dont worry one day the Blackwater 'employees' from a foreign country and put all your fat american asses in concentration camps. Wonder if the hollywood trivia in your trash brains will help you as u start inhaling nerve gas, hahaha

[CMARPAT]

Yeah because everbody knows that BlackWater, a company of around 2 thousand Combatives can over take the US Military, Police and SWAT units, and not to mention every gun toting citizen.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! You are buying into this fear-mongering extremisim, the rhetoric that people like J. Scahill, IVAW, and Code pink are spreading.

[bib777]

CMARPAT you are forgetting that there is no US military left o guard US soil.

[CMARPAT]

Oh my god, you must be joking.

I mean, a statement like that, its gotta be a joke, right?

[bib777]

CMARPAT the US military is gone to 700 bases around the world, iraq and is getting ready to attack iran and russia by Georgia proxy war.

[4Glory2him]

There has always been a military presence here. albeit not the numbers we would like. Also the US has the MOST armed citizenry in the world. Prepare...

[dhrpro1]

Whats so funny, I hope your working for Blackwater when shit does hit the fan in this country, were better prepared than you might think. and we know who the real enemy is, and its not those hungry men working for Blackwater. Their just trying to make a living. You take care...

[bib777]

there far more dignified ways to make a living then killing your neigbour and paritcipating in the takedown of USA

[LetsLiveItUp2010]

@bib777 This is an old post but what do you mean the takedown of the US?

[wonderfwuka]

Remember how easy it was for the military to take citizens' weapons during hurricane Katrina. Not to mention, a well organized group of ex-SEALS and special forces could wipe out any number of side swingin gun totin'thugs. the police and swat for the most part will be sub-tier henchmen to Blackwater. 2000? More like 200,000. They have been training South American commandos OVER THERE. Any one of them ready crush any American citizen for $340 a day. Thi is fear education, you should be scared

[lkout71]

blackwater "fighters" get more on the range of $950 a day.

[wonderfwuka]

outsourcing to S America is cheaper and more aggressive soldiers toward U.S. citizens regardless of who's paying them.

[jcrawford00]

not possiable look at other conflicts,training and firepower don't win wars

[gb15212]

thank you for exposing this injustace

[shwang03]

Injustice? If women and terrorists refuse to stop at check points, they deserve to be shot and killed. Scahill fails to point out the rules of engagement. If a civilian or will be terrorist approaches our checkpoints we a. hold up our hands to signal to stop. B. We fire a warning flare. C. We fire a warning round to disable the vehicle. D. Neutralize the threat. So, if this isn't enough I don't care what language they speak, they must be retarded.

[ActorWriterGuy]

Thank you for your bravery, compassion and clarity.

[shwang03]

Bravery? Scahill has no brave bone in his body. He's the fat kid at school that spouts off his mouth and can't back anything up. He's just out for himself and writing a bunch of nonsense. The sad thing is, all the misled bleeding heart liberals are going to be shocked when Blackwater gets even bigger by 2010.

[damone70]

Yeah, you and those (Blackwater) faggots with guns are real tough guys..Killing innocent civilains is real brave.

[shwang03]

Killing civilians are an acceptable casualty. We are in a warzone. There's a fine line between civilians and terrorists. So better to be safe than sorry. It's unfortunate that the Iraqi civilians are caught in the middle of the crossfire..

[bluevoltaire]

American Media is just disguisting. The American Empire deserves to fall and fall hard..@!

[shwang03]

Perhaps you should relocate to a country where they burn the American Flag and conduct terrorist training camps.

[damone70]

I totally agree!
