I was reading the Washington Post article “Blackwaterfounder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel” about Trump’s team trying to have backdoor meetings with Russia. Really, since these were events that happened after the election, I could care less. Who cares the Trump wants to get into Putin’s backdoor anyway. Those are some photos I NEVER want to see.
Still the thing I found most disturbing about the article wasn’t the story about Trump and Putin’s ongoing love affair and possible pee fest. The thing that alarmed me was this:
“Prince is best known as the founder of Blackwater, a security firm that became a symbol of U.S. abuses in Iraq after a series of incidents, including one in 2007 in which the company’s guards were accused — and later criminally convicted — of killing civilians in a crowded Iraqi square. Prince sold the firm, which was subsequently re-branded, but has continued building a private paramilitary empire with contracts across the Middle East and Asia. He now heads a Hong Kong-based company known as the Frontier Services Group.“
Is anyone else worried about this? I think someone needs to have a conversation with the Washington Post’s Editorial Board. Seriously…who gives a shit about Trump and Putin when you have a guy with a private army carrying on wars for profit. We already know Prince is more than happy to gun down unarmed civilians for money. What’s to keep him from coming here and doing it to Americans?
Now you might think I’m being a little alarmist here, but hold on. First off, the guy already thinks he’s above any law domestically or internationally. This was proven time and again in Iraq and Afghanistan. His personal army was responsible for so many atrocities, that even Dick Cheney couldn’t condone him. Add to the fact that Trump has little regard for juris prudence, and a tenuous connection with Civil Rights in general and you have a definite possibility that one day we might see Erik’s troops walking the streets here in the U.S. very soon. Think I’m kidding? Just wait till they tell the Orange wonder that he has to leave the white house in a few years and see what happens.
Erik already has influence directly within the Trump Administration not only through himself, but through his sister Betsy, I think Jesus rode dinosaurs, DeVos. Put Trump’s and Erik’s massive egos together, along with the real-life sense of entitlement Trump and his kids have and you have the makings of a military coup the likes of which we haven’t seen since Saddam Hussein. Add to all this that Erik already thinks he’s a Viking warlord (I mean seriously…who spells Eric with a K?) and you have the makings of a disaster that would normally only present itself in an episode of Homeland (I can’t wait to see what happens next week).
Right now I would say there is a 50/50 chance that Trump will be impeached in the next four years. I’m 90% positive that a Republican will run against him in four years if the Orange idiot makes it through his term and wants to run again. This guy will not go quietly. There will be conversations with Erik’s private army on possibilities of going up against the U.S. Military. Erik isn’t large enough yet, but he’s doing his best to get there. Suffice it to say that any movement in that direction would be a disaster for everyone, not just Erik and Trump, but our country as well.
This is a new age in Politics and Business. The power brokers that have usually make moves behind the scenes are now out on the open. They don’t like it much. This is why many of them are trying to turn the clocks back to 1950. For decades they’ve remained in the shadows directing the world from behind closed doors. Now that we can see their movements it’s getting a little scary. Make no mistake, every decision made at the Republican political level is in direct relation to how someone will make a profit. It has absolutely nothing to do with the wellbeing of the general population. If you think I’m wrong, then I will ask you two questions:
- How many decisions or executive order made by the current administration that has or will directly help you in the near future?
- How many will help the rich?
Exactly!
