After $1.3 billion in government contracts and controversy over the killing of innocent Iraqi civilians, Blackwater Worldwide is moving on. The powerful military corporation has no plans to slow down after what has been an extraordinarily profitable decade.

"The greatest threat to our world and its peace comes from those who want war, who prepare for it, and who, by holding out vague promises of future peace or by instilling fear of foreign aggression, try to make us accomplices to their plans." - Hermann Hesse

1. Corporate profits, war machine, and campaign finance
are destroying America's National Security.

2. I'd like to know how much equipment they got from the U.S.
during their "reign of terror" in Iraq? I would almost guarantee you that they were given ships and other equipment that was never returned or made especially for them.

Blackwater was nothing until we financed them to their glory.

4. I wonder what happens to all the equipment that
that gets worn out (or just loses a tread or a tire) and is discarded rather than fixed?

Looks like there will be cheap equipment for sale to Blackwater for quite some time...

3. And corporations like them are just the beginning of privatized warfare.
The military corporate super power now has us paying for private military who operate above the law.

Will the government abolish this kind of threat on our national security? Does the military industry so completely own our government that the new administration will be powerless when it comes dealing with this fascist problem? (if the administration even wants to) Is the military industry now in complete control of world warfare?

Those are just a few questions.

5. Great video and Great posts. Blackwater Needs to Be Watched and Stopped.
Edited on Fri Feb-13-09 11:36 AM by Blaze Diem
The New Terorists.
Obama Administration needs to investigate and put the skids on this war for profit organization.

Keep this in the forefront of news we question.

K & R for Peace.

8. Many accomplices yes, but the finger always points to the organized criminals at the top.
Poppy Bush, GW Bush, Rummy, Cheney, etc and the movement to overthrow the US Govt for profit.

10. hmmm. Interesting. I'm open for discussion on this. Have always
been curious as to who pulls the strings in organized crime.
Do their newly acquired Billions fund drug and weapons trade also? Seems like a natural commodity for such orgs. and I put the Bush cabal at the top of this.

Interested on your take, however. Not for argument but discussion.
Thanks

But these things that we are suffering don't get planned and executed overnight by a handful of crooks. Look around the world and see who is profiting from global warfare, economic and otherwise.

14. I guarentee you that.....
Blackwater will be doing the security for former Pres. Bush(god I never thought I was going to be able to say that(former)). Especially down in Paraguay where Bushie will have to go and hide once the Hague starts giving out arrest warrants for the torturers of the last 8 years. I only hope they do it soon before the iron goes cold and the world doesn't care anymore.. :patriot: :hide: :thumbsup: :nopity:

16. This video is highly effective in showing how "totally fucking awesome" Blackwater is.
this is even cooler than the "Army Of One" campaign.

seriously- the audio is awful. i couldn't watch more than a minute of it.

again, thanks for helping promote blackwater worldwide. :sarcasm:
