Esquire:
On any list of loathsome Americans, Erik Prince has to be right at the top.
He got rich behind Blackwater, the renegade mercenary army that is responsible
for a great deal of the hatred directed toward this country in the Middle East.
(Privatized hatred was Blackwater's primary gift to the world.) Since his brand
cratered (Blackwater was renamed Xe, pronounced, I believe, "Kill."
It is now known as Academi. Why? Who knows?), Prince
has become an International Man of Sleaze, taking on clients from China to
the UAE, which is probably how the meeting in the Seychelles came about, since
it was brokered by the UAE government, and since prying Russia and Iran apart
is something that the UAE would love to see happen. But what in the hell is
Erik Prince doing negotiating on behalf of the United States government, even
given the fact that administrations of both parties have done business with him
overseas?
Erik Prince's exploits have been chronicled here and here at OpEdNews, and the articles make the point that Christfascism is ripe for conspiracy: Erik Prince is considered Islamophobic in the extreme, wishing to rid the world of Islam by brute force. His ties to both Trump and Putin are the stuff of spy novels. And let's not forget that he's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos's brother.
An Unholy Trio
So in Putin and Prince, we have men who voice Christofascism's main concerns and the man who can implement their goals. It doesn't matter that the man is destroying American principles left and right.
After all, he's The Chosen One.
