Blackwater will be the military for the corporations, who will own all of the resources, if the neocons have there way with US. The neocons are all invested in the corporations and will profit heavily from the repression and exploitation of most of US. This neocon fantasy does not have to be reality. We need to wake up and demand more accountability from our government. We can't be afraid of our government; they need to be afraid of us.

It's amazing that little fascists like the clown posting here...."RAMIREZ" , actually SUPPORTS Blackwater and everything they stand for!!! Are you from Chile, Argentina,Peru,or almost ANY Latin American country??? That might explain why you feel so "At Home" with Blackater!!!!

Good. I hope this meas we get some good spying for a change. The intelligence agencies in this country have been bad for a long time. If Blackwater can do the job better good for them.

The more troubling offshoot of Blackwater is the "Country Club Rescue and Response" trend that is emerging.
"Noah's Arc" for the rich and elite.

I'm sure Fred Thompson would back this up based on his comments on intelligence this morning on Meet the Press. That's probably where our politicians are making new contracts already is with Blackwater and the CIA.

"Blackwater already has the "License to Kill" part worked out with State. So why not?"

How exactly do you get a liscence to kill anyway? An international liscence to kill? Does anybody REALLY have the credentials to liscence that?

Congress should vote to stop funding all paramilitary organizations.

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather round and haggle
For hard cash, we will like and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down.

-Profound observation from Sir David Gilmore circa 1987

We can call Blackwater the Black Hand of the Bush administration. This is a mafia operation and should not be condoned or allowed to operate anywhere in the world! These mercs are killers for hire! They should be stopped before they are allowed to end up as the jack-boot troops of a right-wing neo-con 'One World Order.'

We are ready for our coup now General Clark.

Hired killers owe loyalty to no country.
They do what they do for money.
They kill or do what is asked for the money.
This is a very dangerous group of people and only this corrupt administration would allowy them the power they enjoy.
Sooner or later they will be killing Americans..you can count on that.
Colombia and and Central America has been plagued with this sort of problem for a long time. Why should American think, "It can't happen here?" I assure you it can and it will.
If they are financed, they will do anything.
In a real war, mercinaries always turn into cowards as things get tough. They are not fighting for their family or homeland. They need to stay alive to enjoy the money. It is pointless to sacrifice themselves and they will turn on their employeers in a heartbeat. They are no different from a Mafia or any other gang of killers.

And what pisses me off the most is that these nutcases are financed by U.S. taxpayers. There was a story reported the other day where Blackwater has initiated a huge lobbying effort to convince Congress to keep the funding going. And, you might ask, where has the money come from to finance this lobbying effort? Answer: 90% of it from U.S. taxpayers. This is an outrage!

Put this military privatization effort out of business. Now!

Who the fuck would hire a fake Jesusfreak as a spy?

if these blackwater goons were true american patriots, they'd have enlisted in the armed forces like real men.

I haven't seen the magazine for decades, is "Soldier of Fortune" still being published? Find that rag and just leaf through the pages for awhile. It'll give you an insight into the quality of individuals who think its a good 'career move' to get into mercenary work. And I'm sure every one of the votes a straight Republican ticket - if they're still allowed to vote in their state with their earlier felony convictions.
