From THIS shocking article published at The Nation today, Erik Prince is alleged to have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating Blackwater/Xe. (I would HIGHLY suggest you read up on Prince and Blackwater via the wiki links, then proceed...
Reread the top paragraph and let that sink in for a moment.
According to one of the remaining unnamed witnesses, now under government protection for fear of his safety:
Prince "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe":
To that end, Mr. Prince intentionally deployed to Iraq certain men who shared his vision of Christian supremacy, knowing and wanting these men to take every available opportunity to murder Iraqis. Many of these men used call signs based on the Knights of the Templar, the warriors who fought the Crusades.
Mr. Prince operated his companies in a manner that encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life. For example, Mr. Prince's executives would openly speak about going over to Iraq to "lay Hajiis out on cardboard." Going to Iraq to shoot and kill Iraqis was viewed as a sport or game. Mr. Prince's employees openly and consistently used racist and derogatory terms for Iraqis and other Arabs, such as "ragheads" or "hajiis."
Yep. Your tax dollars at work folks, funding America's Mullahs. Seperation of church and state my ass. This is publicly funded christian terrorism (lowercase "c" intended). After reading up on Prince and Blackwater (how did I survive before Wikipedia?), a few things jumped out at me:
*90% of Blackwater's revenue is from government contracts, 2/3 of which are no-bid contracts
*how much OTHER stuff Blackwater is heavily involved in (Hurrican Katrina??? Gawd forbid Bush pass up an opportunity to allow his cronies to profit from human misery...)
*the sick irony of reading that Prince serves as a board member of Christian Freedom International, a non-profit group with a mission of helping "Christians who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ", in light of above quotes about his alleged treatment of muslims
For more background, you might want to listen to THIS interview with the article's author, Jeremy Sachill, on The Diane Rehm Show about 2 years ago when he was promoting his book "Blackwater". I remember coming in half way and being so blown away that I got online and bookmarked it to listen to once they'd posted it. Great way to get up to speed on the topic while cleaning your house or doing work on your computer...
