BUSA entrance

A sign at the entrance to Blackwater USA, in Moyock N.C., is shown in this Jan. 23, 2007, file photo. The Interior Ministry said Monday Sept. 17, 2007 that it was pulling the license of Blackwater USA, a security firm allegedly involved in the fatal shooting of civilians during an attack on a U.S. State Department motorcade in Baghdad. Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul-Karim Khalaf said eight people were killed and 13 were wounded when security contractors working for Blackwater USA opened fire in a predominantly Sunni neighborhood of western Baghdad.

STOP BLACKWATER FROM BUILDING A COMPOUND IN CALIFORNIA! (SEE CONCLUSION FOR DETAILS)

Blackwater: Water that contains animal, human, or food waste; any of several human or animal diseases characterized by dark urine resulting from rapid breakdown of red blood cells. (How fitting and I think they know it.)

The "John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007" (H.R. 5122), which was signed into law by President Bush in October 2006, seriously weakens two bulwarks of liberty--the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act of 1807--by expanding the power of the president to declare martial law and use troops as a domestic police force in response to a "public emergency" or any "other condition"; and Blackwater troops (which were deployed domestically in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina) or other private mercenary and paramilitary forces pose a severe threat to the civil liberties of the American people and now could be deployed to quell public dissent, put down popular uprisings, or even to stop opposing points of view through intimidation or outright force.- Todd Beeton

The Army In The Shadows

Blackwater USA is the most comprehensive professional military, law enforcement, security, peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world.

Blackwater USA comprises nine separate business units to offer the most comprehensive professional security, peacekeeping, and stability operations company in the world.


The NEW face of Democracy

VISION
To support security, peace, freedom, and democracy everywhere.

MISSION
To support national and international security policies that protect those who are defenseless and provide a free voice for all with a dedication to providing ethical, efficient, and effective turnkey solutions that positively impact the lives of those still caught in desperate times.

Blackwater is committed to the foot soldiers -- the men and women who stand on the frontlines of the global war on terror and who believe in a peaceful future for their communities and nations. Whether serving in or out of uniform, Blackwater is committed to providing these men and women with the very best in training and tactical support to ensure they are fully prepared to meet current and future global security challenges.- Blackwater USA website

I didn't know everyone wanted their kind of democracy.

Turnkey solutions? Turnkey: (1) A person who has charge of the keys of a prison, for opening and fastening the doors; a warder. (2)(Dentistry) An instrument with a hinged claw, -- used for extracting teeth with a twist. (3) Of or pertaining to a building, complex device, system, or industrial installation which is sold by a contractor only after it is ready for immediate occupation or use; fully functional and ready for use; -- used of complex systems of a type which often require preparation or installation by the user before being capable of functioning as intended.

I wonder which one they mean? They all sound pretty bad to me. Jailer, pulling teeth, occupation....

They say "frontlines". I thought they were back-up, security guards, cooks and dishwashers....that's what they tell us.

One man's security can be another man's thug

I get the feeling it's time for everyone to get his own security.

We need security from the security.

The only businesses that were safe during the Rodney King riots in L.A. were the Korean businessmen who had armed security on the roofs of their establishments.  They weren't touched.  I wonder why.

Blackwater terrorists

Yup!  Bush is currently raising his very own, tax payer paid, private army.  All set for him to declare some home-made "emergency" and turn them loose on our country.  They have another 16 months to practice murdering people, so get set for the final act of what used to be the finest country in the world.  Then we'll be visiting those detention pens now being constructed all over the U.S.A., now being paid for by we who will be instructed in the fine arts of torture under Bush the Dictator.  All we can hope is that one of the few countries we haven't attacked yet, will come to our aid.

Very comprehensive-Nice job!!
I predicted this in 2002. If you search writers archives here and my Blogspot, you will see letters exchanged between Tom Englehardt and I for TomDispatch in which I was concerned about Blackwater and he promised and followed threough on writing about them and Twin Canopy and KBR and others.
