More Blackwater Death...This Time In America

Seems that Eric Prince has a new problem as DEATH FOLLOWS his company, regardless of what name he chooses to call it by. In what right now is a tragic accident, but in what could be faulty equipment or safety procedures, seems that a Blackwater Trainer has lost his life at Blackwaters Mercenary TRAINING GROUNDS in North Carolina.

Blackwater Murderers Trying to Get Off On Technicality

The Blackwater Staff who participated in the Nisoor Square Massacre in Iraq lost round one in their bid to get away with their egregious actions when a judge refused to toss the case on a technicality that they were WORKING FOR THE MILITARY by proxy because of a contract between Blackwater and the State Department. FACT...the Pentagon (thus the military) is a completely SEPARATE branch of the United States government that is NOT ASSOCIATED with the State Department. Further, this fact has been hammered home by the Pentagons own General Petrayus when he says it is impossible to get a military victory in Iraq, that we need a Diplomatic Solution. Simply stated, there are numerous examples of our government drawing a VERY FINITE LINE between military actions and diplomatic actions....face it, lets convict the bastard and put them behind bars where they deserve to be. One question...what were these mens ORDERS/INSTRUCTIONS from Blackwater higher management including Eric Prince? Should Mr. Darkness himself be facing MURDER CHARGES?

Judge Upholds Charges Against Blackwater Guards

A federal judge today refused to toss out charges against five U.S. security contractors accused of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in a busy Baghdad square in 2007.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Ricardo M. Urbina came in an early legal challenge brought by defense attorneys representing the guards, who worked at the time for Blackwater Worldwide. The guards' attorneys had argued the government didn't have jurisdiction to bring the charges.

The guards were indicted in December on charges of voluntary manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and using a firearm in a crime of violence in the controversial shooting in bustling Nisoor Square in September 2007. The government says the guards killed 14 Iraqi civilians and wounded 20 others in a salvo of bullets and grenade explosions. Prosecutors have said the guards unleashed an unprovoked attack on the civilians.

The charges were brought under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) of 2000, which allows U.S. prosecutors to charge American service members, their family members and those employed by the military for illegal acts committed overseas.

A 2004 amendment expanded MEJA to cover those working "in support" of Defense Department missions, a provision that prosecutors argue covers security contractors, such as Blackwater, working for the State Department in Iraq.

Another Blackwater CON GAME...Different Name, SAME POND SCUM

Remember disgraced Blackwater of Pentagon FAME? Seems that Pentagon Insiders, Military Cronies and the owners of Blackwater are trying to keep their LUCRATIVE MILITARY CONTRACTS with a CON GAME pulled on the American Tax Payer. They have CHANGED THEIR NAME! That is right, the same DIRTY, SKIVY, DISGUSTING and UNLAWFUL actions, but REBRANDED under a whole new corporate name in the hopes that their deplorable record as Blackwater will not follow them to their NEW DIGS in the same buildings and offices they have always had.

Blackwater and its PRIVATE CORPORATE ARMY is now Xe to be pronounced as the letter Z as in Zorro! How fucking appropriate for the men of dirty deeds in Black as in Blackwater. Their SECRETIVE TRAINING CENTER where you can be trained to be a MERCENARY or CORPORATE TERRORIST that was formally known as Blackwater Lodge & Training Center has been renamed U.S. Training Center Inc. How quaint! Do you offer Cookies and Milk with that machine gun?

Here is a CLUE for the Pentagon, Congress and Obama...we the American Tax Payers to not want our taxes going to paid thugs, rapist and murders, and Blackwater changing their name does not CHANGE WHO THEY ARE. In short, stop playing games, and pull their contracts, make them ineligible for any Federal contracts with the Pentagon, the STate Department, or any other arm of the AMerican Government...maybe Blackwater's shady driving force can pitch his services to Iran, and HAMAS seems to be in need of a helping murderous hand of late.

Blackwater dumps tarnished brand name

The Associated Press

Published: February 13, 2009

RALEIGH, North Carolina: Blackwater Worldwide is abandoning its tarnished brand name as it tries to shake a reputation battered by oft-criticized work in Iraq, renaming its family of two dozen businesses under the name Xe.

The parent company's new name is pronounced like the letter "z." Blackwater Lodge & Training Center — the subsidiary that conducts much of the company's overseas operations and domestic training — has been renamed U.S. Training Center Inc., the company said Friday.

The decision comes as part of an ongoing rebranding effort that grew more urgent following a September 2007 shooting in Iraq that left at least a dozen civilians dead. Blackwater president Gary Jackson said in a memo to employees the new name reflects the change in company focus away from the business of providing private security.
