Two Informants Accuse Blackwater Founder of Murder, Other Crimes

[CJS3]

To quote George Orwell;

"We sleep safe in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

Looking at the "charges" leveled against Prince, I have to say it looks like a corporate shakedown. No criminal charges have been filed, only annonomous CIVIL affadavites.

To quote Capt. Willard,"charging a person with murder here, is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500". Wife swapping could only be illegal in a Muslim country and then only if you've got a particularly ugly wife. Child prostitution could be charged against anyone without substanciation. What's their name, when was it done, does this involve her/his testimony, and why aren't criminal charges involved? Child prostitution IS a federal crime. Smuggling weapons in dog food? Do you actually believe that a company that has the US government to grease the skids would smuggle guns in dog food?

The reason Blackwater changed their name was due to Bad Press. Bad Press is the kiss of death to any entity that is trying to sell a product, whether that product is hot dogs or armed counter insergents. Once the out of court settlements are arranged, you will hear nothing else of this story.

The founders and leaders of Blackwater come from very impressive backgrounds. Taken from Wiki:

In the late 1990s, Erik Prince spent part of his inherited wealth to purchase about 6,000 acres (24 km2) of the Great Dismal Swamp, a vast swamp on the North Carolina/Virginia border, now mostly a National Wildlife Refuge. Here he created his state-of-the-art private training facility, and his contracting company—Blackwater—is named for the peat-colored water of the swamp.[17] Blackwater USA was formed in 1990 to provide training support to military and law enforcement organizations. In 2002 Blackwater Security Consulting (BSC) was formed. It was one of several private security firms employed following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. BSC is one of over 60 private security firms employed during the Iraq War to guard officials and installations, train Iraq's new army and police, and provide other support for occupation forces.[18] Blackwater was also hired during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by the United States Department of Homeland Security, as well as by private clients, including communications, petrochemical and insurance companies.[19] Overall, the company has received over $1 billion USD in government contracts.[20] Blackwater consists of nine divisions, and a subsidiary, Blackwater Vehicles.

 
Erik Prince, Blackwater founder. Xe is a privately held company and does not publish much information about internal affairs. Xe's founder and former CEO Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL, attended the Naval Academy, graduated from Hillsdale College, and was an intern in George H. W. Bush's White House. Prince is a major financial supporter of Republican Party causes and candidates.[21] Xe's president, Gary Jackson, is also a former Navy SEAL.[22]

Cofer Black, the company's current vice chairman, was director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center (CTC) at the time of the September 11 attacks in 2001. He was the United States Department of State coordinator for counterterrorism with the rank of ambassador at large from December 2002 to November 2004. After leaving public service, Black became chairman of the privately owned intelligence gathering company Total Intelligence Solutions, Inc., as well as vice chairman for Xe. Robert Richer was vice president of intelligence until January 2007, when he formed Total Intelligence Solutions. He was formerly the head of the CIA's Near East Division.[23][24] Black was senior advisor for counterterrorism and national security issues for the 2008 Presidential election bid of Mitt Romney.[25]

Xe's primary training facility, located on 7,000 acres (28 km2) in northeastern North Carolina, comprises several ranges: indoor, outdoor, urban reproductions; a man-made lake; and a driving track in Camden and Currituck counties. Company literature says that it is the largest training facility in the country. In November 2006 Blackwater USA announced it recently acquired an 80-acre (30 ha) facility 150 miles (240 km) west of Chicago in Mount Carroll, Illinois to be called Blackwater North. This facility is also known as "The Site". This Xe facility has been operational since April 2007 and serves law enforcement agencies throughout the Midwest. Xe is also trying to open an 824-acre (3.33 km2) training facility three miles north of Potrero, a small town in rural east San Diego County, California located 45 miles (72 km) east of San Diego, for military and law enforcement training

Smear campaign. 

It's a well known, well used and well worn tactic of liberal/communist/fascists.  Works every time with the sheep. 

Smear, discredit and replace with something unholy.

The burning question on my mind is:  How exactly is "Xe" pronounced?  Oh, come on, I can't be the only one.
