Selling children into prostitution - Christian "Blackwater" values...


The latest horror show from the Blackwater saga illustrates how absolutely dangerous white supremacy is when empowered with federal dollars and the power to kill.

Instead of being run out of all civilized society, Erik Prince's huge donations to the GOP earned him massive federal contracts and the backing of the US government as his employees raped children under the banner of an American flag.

White power politics is not a matter of free speech when used by the state as a tool of war. It is a war crime. Erik Prince is a war criminal. The fact that he and his black-booters are part of a private entity does not exempt their crimes under the Geneva Conventions. Why? Because Prince and his black-booters were employed by and empowered by the US government. The actions of Prince and the black-booters are carried out under the banner of the American flag. Their crimes are our crimes, especially since we - the tax- payer - paid for them.
So, have a stiff drink and read the latest horror of this warped version of the so called Christian army:


"Since the revelation earlier this week of allegations by two former employees of security firm Blackwater that its owner was complicit in murder in order to cover up the deliberate killing of Iraqi civilians, explosive charges have continued to emerge.

Perhaps the most shocking of those charges — quoted by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on Thursday from the employees’ sworn declarations — is that Blackwater was guilty of using child prostitutes at its compound in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone and that owner Erik Prince knew of this activity and did nothing to stop it.

The declarations describe Blackwater as “having young girls provide oral sex to Enterprise members in the ‘Blackwater Man Camp’ in exchange for one American dollar.” They add even though Prince frequently visited this camp, he “failed to stop the ongoing use of prostitutes, including child prostitutes, by his men.”

2. XE's founder is all about spreading Jesus.
Or killing anyone that doesn't look like they believe in him.

4. It's a construct in the mind of Erik Prince.
He is in the medieval tradition of fighting the war in the Holy Land.

"In one of the affidavits a former employee who served for 4 years in Blackwater and was a former US marine, alleged that Mr 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'."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_Worldwide

I hate to say this, but it's eerily like Hitler's vision of himself, bedecked in shining armor and the whole spear of destiny thing.

It's not a true Christian issue, merely another hi-jacking.

5. I guarantee these pieces of shit would do the same to our children if given the opportunity

Think about that for a while when you have a new neighbor move in who did mercenary "work" in Iraq or elsewhere.

Their names won't be on any sex offenders list either.

9. We all feel it in our cells...

...that the malignant group that has hijacked this country is most likely
involved in many forms of child exploitation.

Whatever mob has its talons in our former democracy--they are sick exploiters. They
exploit the citizens of this country and make a mockery of our democracy. They screw
us over at every turn, in order to enrich themselves. Does anyone actually believe
that they value and have respect for children?

We all understand that they're most likely all child molesters, which is probably
part of the reason that their crimes are kept so hidden and why there are so few
whistle blowers. They're all so dysfunctional and sick--and they've all got the
goods on each other.

Interesting that someone mentioned The Family in this thread. There has never been
an accurate profile of a child molester--because these people come from all socioeconomic
backgrounds, ethnic groups, and even professions. The only trait that is common among
them is that they claim they are highly religious. Interesting huh?

I've read studies that reveal that they do not use religion to cover up their crimes or
to fool people. They use religion to deny their own wrongdoing. Religion becomes
part of their very sophisticated denial system, "I am a good person. I am a religious
person. Therefore, what I am doing is not bad or wrong, because I am religious".

Folks, it doesn't get any more insidious or sick than that.

10. Christianity and wingnut-style greed do not mix
I'll never be able to fathom how wingnuts advocated unrestrained greed, yet say they're the "Christian" side of the aisle.

This clearly takes the cake. While it's par for the course for wingnuts to commit crimes (usually white collar crime, but not this time) in the name of Jesus and God, this one really, really takes the cake. This case turns my stomach.
