Excellent report on Blackwater. This is what all Americans need to know. Do we want to live in an empire with an American Foreign Legion, Roman style. ESM Mayfield

These people in Potrero who are in support of Blackwater,are stupid beyond belief. Either that,or someone's been greesing the wheels,if you know what I mean,and I think you do.

After Katrina, all ... ( 11 months ago by patginsd)

After Katrina, all fellow citizens, desperate to help, were turned away at gunpoint. Blackwater thugs took control of the area and instead of offering help, treated our drowning fellow citizens like criminals. Is this what we want to be at the mercy of?
In Potrero after the fires, Blackwater needs to look good to get the permits. All other help was kept out at gunpoint, and they became the help the community was desperate for. How do you kill a mouse? You offer it cheese.

BlackWater's role ... ( 11 months ago by Wolfskrieger1488)

BlackWater's role will be to disarm the American people when it is ruled that we do not have a right to kepp and bare arms. I may sound like Im part of the lunatic fringe but if you value your life and freedom you will arm yourself. You will stock pile ammo, food and water. Our government is turning on us and we need to be ready for the battle that is coming.

Thanks you for this ... ( 11 months ago by TetragrammatonMan)

Thanks you for this quality program! The follow up question the VP of Black Water would have been.. " can you state on the record that Black Water (or its subsidiaries) will not offer services to other countries besides the US and will Black Water State on record that it will never hire foreign 'contractors'.

Erik Prince was trained in Christian fundamentalist schools and funds Christian fundamentalist lobbying groups. He interned for Bush sr. and Dana Rohrbacher. His billionaire right wingnut father left him the money to form this private mercenary army accountable to no one but paid for with US tax dollars. Blackwater was there after Katrina hunting for "looters." Blackwater is the modern SS for 21st century fascism.

Ya still a moron, using those derogatory terms will what? Make you want to kill them? Open your eyes and see what these PMC's will be providing humankind in the future. These guys are shaping the war business the way I'd envisioned.

Nobody should ... ( 9 months ago by Corronus)

Nobody should profit from war?
why do people fight wars? So in the end, eventually you will profit some way. war for land? build a city or grow crops. war for oil? self explanatory. war for freedom? so you can be you own country and build economy. for other's freedom? future allies in future wars. it is inevitable you will prosper in some way if you win a war.

Crack foreign troops on USA soil while the army is away wow and some people want this?
These guys mostly Europeans are here to rule you with an iron fist when they round you up for the concentration camps.I can't believe the Bozos in this town do not bar them and some actually want to welcome them obvious;y with an agenda to make money off of it.America dumbed down to the level of doorknobs

The scariest person ... ( 8 months ago by FeelFreeToArgue)

The scariest person in the video is the woman who feels "so safe" surrounded by all the men at Blackwater with guns. This is the cowardly face that trades our rights away. There is no fear free existence, the only thing that even tries to promise it to you is the jackboot. Want to stop being afraid of the world? Get your government to stop screwing with foreign goverments for no reason. Stop the war now!

That lady that said how safe she felt ...if she was the one that did not agree with them...I wonder how safe she would have been feeling? Does anyone realize that Potrero is where one of the fires that was started by a human hand last year and the whole town went up in flames the day before the town had the final vote to reject Blackwaters proposal!
