Blackwater Expanding Its Domestic Reach

[RickWolf68]

can you say CIA for hire?

[BadBunnyRides]

I find it funny the same people calling for Xe and other private military companys are the first ones yelling "Cut the Military budget!"

Can't have it both ways.

[artemusbell]

Blackwater is paid well. They are PAID to die if needed. They are 100% expendable. BUT in no way should ANY Blackwater employee be in charge of US troops, anywhere. ALSO, if they are turned on American citizens, like in New Orleans, you could SHOOT THEM to protect yourself and family..they arent LAW ENFORCEMENT. What they do is a very risky legal line.

Its a good thing to have them around. OVERSEAS as security. Not doing anythign to embarass our flag. NOT IN MY NAME.

[okbuilder]

Ooh Rah, Artemus. I live in New Orleans and have heard even the cops say that if they show back up, they're fair game and will be seen as a threat by the population. They come beating on my door and a surprise awaits. Not one of them is any better trained than me. (8 years Force Recon Marine).

[td84]

Does anyone find it ironic that the individual spreading half truths is working for an organization named after a private military company?

[DeathsGaze]

You noticed that too eh. XD

[techlogi7]

Yeah because a Humvee is a Tank. FUCKING LEFT WINGERS TAKE EVERYTHING AND BLOW IT OUT OF PROPORTION.

[DeathsGaze]

HUMVEE IS A TANK. OMG NO WAY. You know with the tracks, the giant ass cannon and the way bullets basically bounce right off of it. Yeah a really nice tank. OMFG There's a big yellow Tank (Hummer) right down my street. Am I being invaded? Fuck I love sarcasm. XD

[Nnexxxx]

I don't think that it's necessary for them to be carrying weapons in New Orleans, but what's the point of getting paid next to nothing when you can be getting paid a lot of money and have money to work off of when you're done?

[Nnexxxx]

link?

blackwater doesnt just help us military, this guy is a fuckin idiot

[4merCIA]

Are you saying that the US military can't do its fucking job and needs these mother fucking chicken-shits from Blackwater to help you guys out?

[DeathsGaze]

The US military can do its job, but if they had to worry about every little thing including protecting VIPs and such well then they'd need to send in even more troops. Fact of the matter is, its a new world. A paranoid world and sometimes in order work more effectively in this world you need an extra hand. But if I ever saw let's say Blackwater come into my country and just do whatever the hell they want, yeah I'd be a little pissed. (Canadian by the way.)

[fettara]

There is no rhetoric that's passed around within Blackwater like you have compared to the German SS. They swear on the same Allegiance that everyone who joins the US miltary or police force.

If you watch videos of them and see that they are laughing in combat, and you think that the US military does not do that, you have been living in a sheltered life. I can find quite a few for you that the military is having too much fun.

[tacticalk9solutions]

I am just a joe sh#$ the rag man but, it appears to me that companies like blackwater turn out a highly trained fighting force. The only people that need to worry are any country that try's to invade us. I dont agree with everything that people do but. We need people like Blackwater on our side. THANKS GUYS

[Nnexxxx]

I doubt most of their soldiers would want to take over the country they were born in...

[fettara]

Well, you people can interpret this guy's rhetoric all you want. Blackwater employees/contractors are filled with two types of folks- Former special op military veterans with HONORABLE discharges and U.S. police officers with SWAT backgrounds who possess no internal affairs issues or no history of violating people's constitutional rights. So that means, they hire only the good folks because they are not looking for that HELL's ANGEL-type 1% troublemaker that came from prison.

[82ndarmy]

hell ya everyone should listen to you when

i say it people just say im one person but hey i found someone else.

[AstoundedAtheist]

Is it just me? Or does it look like those mercenaries are having waaayyyyy to much fun killing people?

[pcollenYT]

Of course they are..it's what they do and who they are. You don't train an attack dog and then put it in a kennel..you put it in a situation where it may do what it is trained to do: attack. The fact they get paid big $'s is no different than Labron James going pro right out of HS and hitting the big paycheck while others are studying in the dorm.

[AstoundedAtheist]

I have trouble with the concept.

[Boomer1949]

And there are those who are worried that Obama is trying to raise a private Army of his own..hell's bells people! Blackwater's contracts come out of the State Department!! Hillary's State Department. So the volunteer program for the Peace Corps and Conservation Corp and America Corp, hardly seems such a threat now does it? Will Hillary shut this down..I don't think so.

[BakersBoyz]

Naomi Wolf's book. Facist America in ten easy steps (see below). The book details how this pattern was implemented in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and elsewhere, and analyzes its emergence and application in American political affairs since the September 11 attacks.

[BakersBoyz]

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy.

2. Create secret prisons where torture takes place.

3. Develop a thug caste or paramilitary force not answerable to citizens.

4. Set up an internal surveillance system.

[BakersBoyz]

paramilitary units act without governance during a state of emergency ... the key is to declare martial law in a specific area ... like operation katrina

[greylight42]

how is this even legal, if its not ,when will the justice system do something
