You get killed and ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
You get killed and he sends your family to the Labor Depoartment to collect government benefits.
Corporate Welfare at its most corrupt.
Almost $2 billion in contracts so far....
Double-billing, triple-billing and worse, you fucking patsies.
Do your own ... ( 10 hours ago by SierraWolf)
Do your own research, for I type the truth.
Do you believe that NYT, BBC and other news teams go into Iraq with only microphones and cameras??
Some of them do, ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
Some of them do, some of them don't. But even many other private military contractors are disgusted with Blackwater.
Anyway the ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
Anyway the Blackwater contract in Iraq is strictly as bodyguards to State, so you are blowing smoke, SierraWolf, as you well know.
Those four that ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
Those four that were wacked in Fallaujah were sent on an illegal mission, that was subcontracted twice and wound up being billed, with huge mark-ups to Halliburton.
Blackwater didn't even fill its contract with the four.
And it was not what they contracted for.
Thbat;s why the ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
Thbat;s why the families re suing. Why don;t you read the court documents.
Prince is a fucking greedy, Born Again scam.
"All of these ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
"All of these representations are what these individuals relied upon in deciding to become security contractors for Blackwater," the suit alleges. "Unfortunately, Blackwater's representations were untrue and Blackwater cut corners in the interest of higher profits, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of these four Americans."
The lawsuit relies ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
The lawsuit relies on a timeline that suggests Blackwater lured Helvenston (a former Navy SEAL and bodybuilder who trained Demi Moore for the movie G.I. Jane) and the other contractors to Iraq in early March 2004. Callahan alleges the company then surreptitiously changed the terms of their employment contracts—what he calls a "bait-and-switch" maneuver.
To save cash, the ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
To save cash, the suit alleges, two of the six contractors who were supposed to be in the convoy were reassigned to clerical work in Baghdad. The remaining four men were placed in two unarmed SUVs, neither of which had armor or a rear-door gunner. "They were sitting ducks," Callahan says.
The suit also ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
The suit also alleges that, shortly before the operation, John Potter, a Blackwater supervisor and friend of Scott Helvenston, noticed the contract had changed—and complained that it could cost lives. Blackwater not only ignored his warnings, Callahan charges, but demoted him. One of Callahan's attorneys, Marc Miles, bought a ticket to fly to Potter's home in Alaska and depose him on Jan. 28, 2005. But four days before Miles was to leave, Blackwater rehired Potter and flew him to Baghdad.
"They shipped him ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
"They shipped him out of the country to avoid our questions," says Miles. "Blackwater has done nothing but stall this case. It has now been over a year since we filed the case and Blackwater has not answered one question or produced one document. What they have done is tie the case up in a federal appeal."
Following an ... ( 10 hours ago by mopsius)
Following an unsuccessful motion to kill the case, Blackwater is appealing to the Fourth Circuit Court in Richmond, Virginia. Citing the Defense Base Act, a federal law that requires private security contractors to pay insurance premiums to the U.S. government, Blackwater argues that it is not liable for the deaths of its employees.
Have you ever heard ... ( 8 hours ago by protocall1957)
Have you ever heard of the Santa Claus? People born out of incest can't be convicted of murder. There is another form of immunity for murder. If you are technically dead, no pulse no resperation at the time you murder some one you can't be convicted of the crime. With rotory auxilliary hearts and auxilliary synthetic blood technology, it is theoretically possible to accomplisgh this. Experimenting with those possibilities was one of the goal of the MK Ultra/Delta programs.
Covert operations ... ( 7 hours ago by protocall1957)
Covert operations units are normally staffed by people with minimal social ties. They never reveal the identities of their officers corp outside of the secret societies they belong to. Just admitting the death of the Blackwater operatives is a highly unusual thing to see. The same thing happened in Grenada and Somolia. Delta operators that were killed in both circumstances were not initially reported and after it came to public scrutiny, the deatils of their death were all obfiscated. That's SOP
Elephant meat ... ( 7 hours ago by protocall1957)
Elephant meat cooked in a convection microwave oven is the beast eating you will ever have. I have it once or twice a year. The hide makes a pair of tough boots too. An elephant rifle has bullets the size of .410 shotgun shells. The gun runners you were siting were selling .50 caliber Desert Eagles pistols and Bren 10mms. That's one reason cut-outs such as Blackwater operatives are contracted to the CIA. This is also why those subcontracts are so lucrative. Economic triage.
What about Wooly ... ( 7 hours ago by protocall1957)
What about Wooly Mammouth and Mastadon. They all have four legs and a trunk...not to be confused with a mouse on vacation.
It's a well known ... ( 7 hours ago by protocall1957)
It's a well known fact that you have no chance of influencing a North Carolina judge if you're not a properety owner down there. When Prince had his brain child back in 81...he knew it at the time. You have to have a member of the VA bar association accompany you in Virginia courts if you are an out of state attorney. It's like the old literacy test to vote. You'll eventually see an out of court sttlement at best. It will be bound with a gag claus too.
What's worse? ... ( 7 hours ago by protocall1957)
What's worse? Waking up to a press rag convoluting orthogaonal latin squares, moths in a Persian signatue rug, or chinese alphabet soup? The point is you never reveal your casualties in a state of war. This is a public relation exercise. You need to spread constructive critisms around in a plain spoken language comprehensible to the native culture on stage.

Lone Ranger: FYI: Asle - bist eine Swedishe namen. You can't carry enough water in a living desert to keep you alive in a mounted patrol. There is space for plenty of Jerry cans but the weight would bog you down in the living sand. The only way to keep water below your boady temperature is with a sweat bag. The persperation on the flax cools it like a wet carpet in a breeze way. What you need is the restrcited medical knowledge base - Harvard med. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's the secret mission again
Blackwater recruits ... ( 6 hours ago by protocall1957)
Blackwater recruits Special Ops Forces that are fully qualified with no less than 8 years experience. That's a Green Beret/SEAL/Ranger/Force Recon. The climate itself is enough enmity to render lesser mortal effite. The pay is good but the risk are high. You can contract SQT that is way cheaper, through foreign channel but the cheaper it gets, the more corrupt it becomes. You cant buy a surrender in Sdar City. Its an immovable object and an irresistable force. "Lightning never strikes twice"
A security outfit ... ( 3 hours ago by protocall1957)
A security outfit with a staff of 1000 would normally require an officers compliment of eleven & at least one flag officer. If you had thirty-one MD's in one practice so that the grave yard watch was only once a month, you would have a designated idiot on duty in the Emergency room She would be a registrd battle ax qualified in nonivasive socialwelfare abortion techniques She runs up the bill bonds homes to a convent. This is expendable warm body science. Staff warrants for hire Foreign lexicons
Do you believe your ... ( 13 minutes ago by mopsius)
Do you believe your own bullshit or is BW paying you to say this shit?
Hint the PR is not persuading the non-BW crowd.
Since you now and then betray a modicum of intelligence either are trying to convince yourself or preaching to the other choirboys who are beginning to wonder how those four got wacked and why Prince is treating their families the way he has in court and elsewhere.
The Outfit did ... ( 7 minutes ago by mopsius)
The Outfit did better than a piece of greedy, Born Again shit like Prince.
They ALWAYS took care of the families.
Prince sends them to the Department of Labor.
Prince and Blackwater are strictly vanity mirrors and Amway ringing. It doesn't get sleazier than that.
Schmidt is white cotton sock filled with shit (no class or style), and a disgrace to the best of the Marine Corps.
More bullshit. Oh ... ( 1 minute ago by mopsius)
More bullshit. Oh wow--you guys must be TOUGH.
