And our tax dollars still fund this company

[OwnedByFerrets]

"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.”

One of the statements also charges that “Prince’s North Carolina operations had an ongoing wife-swapping and sex ring, which was participated in by many of Mr. Prince’s top executives.”"

Indefensible!

1. Wife-swapping is a personal choice. Nothing wrong with that.

The child prostitution, however...

4. However, it is yet another chink in the "We are the Christian, morally superior. family-oriented

superiors" armor those people use to protect themselves from scrutiny and to sell themselves to their "god-fearing" base.

2. To the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars

And with Blackwater all the while evading taxes itself. :mad: Way back in 2007 Waxman and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform were supposedly investigating the tax evasion - then no more news about it, surprise...

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.”

The former employees additionally state that Prince was engaged in illegal arms dealing, money laundering, and tax evasion, that he created “a web of companies in order to obscure wrong-doing, fraud, and other crimes,” and that Blackwater’s chief financial officer had “resigned … stating he was not willing to go to jail for Erik Prince.”
