Meet Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater: As dangerous as you fear

[Faygo Kid]

Born a multimillionaire into a rabidly right wing family, this is the guy who has built Bush's private army whose growth is exploding, Blackwater. Just an excerpt from today's Detroit Free Press article (be sure to check the donations sidebar; Prince knows whose bread to butter). This man is a clear and present danger to every American who dissents from the Bush cabal, and his is the face of today's military-industrial complex:

. . . After graduating, Prince headed to the U.S. Naval Academy, only to quit after three semesters. He told friends he was disappointed in the maturity and morality of his fellow midshipmen.

"I know when he got back, he said that he thought everybody at the academy would just bleed red, white and blue like he did," the former coach, Heethuis said. "But he found out some people were just there for a free education."

Prince landed an internship in the early 1990s in the White House under then-President George Bush. Again, he was disappointed.

He later told the Grand Rapids Press: "I saw a lot of things I didn't agree with -- homosexual groups being invited in, the budget agreement, the Clean Air Act, those kinds of bills. . ."

Also, here's a very interesting short article from 2006 about Blackwater's leadership. In case your blood isn't running cold enough yet: http://content.hamptonroads.com/story.cfm?story=108028&ran=144012

There's plenty more out there. Where would we be without the Internet?

13. Reinhard Heydrich. That's who he brings to mind.

He reminds me - very much - of Reinhard Heydrich. He apparently has the answers to many questions that aren't as black and white for the rest of us. Gays are dead in his world, that's for sure.
