Erik Prince, Blackwater, and the CIA - PT. 1/2

The private mercenary firm Blackwater became a household name back in 2004 when the news broke that Blackwater soldiers were murdering innocent men, women, and children in Iraq. And while a few stories made mention of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, few journalists rolled up their sleeves to uncover the truth about this powerful man. But now after 5 years of shrouding himself in mystery, Erik Prince decided to grant an interview to Vanity Fair, where reporter Adam Ciralsky uncovered some startling facts about the man in charge of thousands of mercenary troops, and he spoke with Mike Papantonio recently to talk about his discoveries.

This interviewer is dumb as fuck.

A potential threat to America??? Really, I see Black Water as a threat to anti America political fucks, like a certain president we have.

Black Water should be allowed to go back over seas and take care of some business that our political fuck sticks won't let our solders do.

@nealthesteel the objective is that you are still talking about 5 people who set up tents in nyc 4 months ago ....look around ...whats your house worth? Been to the convienent store lately? what does it cost to get a pop and some beef jerky and 5 gallons of gas? $26 where im at and im in the midwest and remember thats 5 hours of work at minimum wage after taxes......and they say go get a job ROFLMAO..... OCCUPY WALL STREET

[nealthesteel]

@TheSalingb Well said!!

[nealthesteel]

@occupytheworld22 Are you sure about that? My question to you is, why aren't y'all protesting congress instead of the banks? They're the ones who allow the banks to get away with bad behavior and the cut the $700,000,000,000.00 check to bail them out. WTF is the real objective of OWS?

[nealthesteel]

@breakurselff It's a very old concept. Look at the Knights Templers. True they were working for the church but the lion's share of the spoils went to them.

@garciagar64 You're probably someone who says "why do we only send the poor?" and then bitch about a privateer army. Privet contractors are in the top 10% of wage earners. If you think we shouldn't have went or Iraq or Afghanistan then you are an immoral person. We waited too long IMO. War is awful and maybe you think we should have firebomb the cities over there like we did the Germans in WW2. War is no place of TV cameras, woman and do-gooders. People fight and that's how it is. Get over it.

@garciagar64 YES! Thank GOD indeed, but like so many have warned us, they WILL keep trying. We had NOT dodged a bullet. The gun is loaded, cocked and still aimed at our head.

[garciagar64]

@silvermediastudio And what has he done for our country other than killing innocent civilians, protecting criminals, and cashing big no bidding contracts? Hellooooo!

[garciagar64]

@exenrontexas  Black Water is nothing else than a modern SA, Hitler's 1933 backers.

Bush was too dumb to pull it off. He had other intentions that didn't pan out. Thank God for that.

[garciagar64]

@nealthesteel For a price. You said it! Not for America. One fith of our GDP goes to our defense. We have plenty of people in our forces better that his dumb ass. He just happens to be a Bush minion and got a contract to kill civilians and you are impressed about it. Fuck you back!
