10. Erik Prince is a millionaire many times over |
|
I don't know how large a fortune he was left to him by daddy. Then there is all the tax payer funds handed him by Bush/Cheney. His sister is Betsy DeVoss who with her husband are Amway corps. Then you have Mellon Scaife, the Koch brothers who all seem to be of the same mind, then they all have fiends with money ....... All of those fortunes have school and family ties.

2. Corporations don't even actually have to buy ANY politicians |
|
All they have to do is threaten to buy a politician's opponent!

7. Black water isn't big enough to be concerned about. |
|
Now Haliburton is a monster, that already has huge political pull in our govt through friendships and such. And they have a shitload of money.

13. They are on the same side. But blackwater is still small in comparison. |
|
Haliburton could buy its own country, and employ blackwater to be the police force.

15. Well We moved out here to the woods |
|
not realizing that Mynock is only about 30 minutes by air from here. I have said elsewhere we had made enemies or at least are on the radar of the rpigs hitmen.. A few weeks after we moved in I was on the roof seeing wha repairs would need to be done soonest and the place was buzzed by a formation of 4 choppers, loaded for bear. 2 mounted 20 mm machine guns and sidewinders, 2 mounted 50 mm cannon and the men in them were in full battle gear, I could see clearly since they flew obliquely across the yard at just over tree top hight and I could see into the cabins. That was not the only time, those flights took place ever week or 2 usually on wed or thur until the end of the bush junta party left office. The flight sizes varied from 3 to 7 choppers both Bell and Blackhawk. They are a concern to those of us with in their reach.
