From The Nation:
A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company's owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," and that Prince's companies "encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life."Erik Prince is one of us. He's a crusader for Jesus. Just look at all the things he's funded:
- Family Research Council Between July 2003 and July 2006, the Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation gave at least $670,000 to the FRC. Erik Prince is vice president of the foundation.
- Focus on the Family During the same time period, the foundation gave $531,000 to Focus on the Family.
- Christian Freedom International Erik Prince and Paul Behrends, a former aide to Republican Rep. Dana Rohrbacher and now a Blackwater executive, are on the board of this organization that "helps Christians who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ."
- Republican Party Made his first political contribution ($15,000) at age 19. Has contributed more than $200,000 to the party or to Republican candidates (from 1989 to the present).
- Susan B. Anthony List Made a $3,500 contribution to this group that supports pro-life candidates.
Republicans have skeletons in their closet. Honest to god actual skeletons.

If I post a comment about this, can I use a fictitious name? I don't want Erik to know it was really me who said anything. Really. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt's the party of hate. You should adjust your expectations accordingly, nothing would surprise me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice dichotomy, really: The Prince of War kickin' ass for the Prince of Peace.
ReplyDeleteAny guesses on what his favorite small animal to torture was when he just a little sprout. I'm guessing Gerbils.
ReplyDeleteWell if there WAS such a thing as justice in the U.S. DOJ then we would soon be referring to Erik as Inmate #----------, the dickhead formerly know as Prince. But, since that quaint notion has gone out of vogue I suspect the WH, DOJ, Congress and anyone else with the power to do anything will jump through their own asshole to apologize to the poor, defamed principals of Blackwater.
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere that this guy is tied into Amway money so think about that the next time you buy something off of them, whatever in the fuck their corporate name is now. Its all good. You can help The Lord™©® murder everybody who doesn't believe in The Lord™©®, and you can help murder people who don't believe in Blackwater or whatever in the fuck they've changed their name too. And you get a pretty good bottle of shampoo out of the deal to boot. Win, win, win, I say!
ReplyDeleteGeneral, Sir:
ReplyDeleteErik was already filthy rich from his father's auto parts business (according to th source I read).
Richard, it's not just that Amway is a still legal ponzi scheme. It's not just that they use the money to further their anti-american policies (I put up a piece about this at my place). It's about their products being no better, and in many cases not as good as, other products that sell for less. Consumer's Union usually has a field day with folks like Amway, Shaklee, Land's End, etc.,.
you wrote: "The Lord™©®"
ReplyDelete...be careful! The Lord™©®'s actual spelling of His Name is Sacred!
And above all, you NEVER want to say this one: H-A-S-T... &&%$@.NO CARRIER
