Actually, it was a post offering Body Armor published against C.L. rules (weapons are supposedly prohibited, and according to the Pig Establishment, body armor is an offensive weapon if used by a non-Police criminal, as opposed to the Criminals who make up the Pig Establishment) said he had been a Contractor (Probably a jail guard at one of the Torture errr... "Detention" Centers) aka Mercenary Baby Killer in Iraq. Let's make this abundantly clear, the ones who provide the Support for the Baby-Killing machine are every bit as guilty as the Terroristic Thugs who kick down peoples doors and murder them in their own homes for refusing, at least allegedly, to bow down and worship the U.S. Occupation with much bootlicking and ass-kissing. And every bit as guilty of Torture as the Perverted Uniformed Sex-offenders who run the Torture errr... "Enhanced Interrogation and detention centers". Every Contractor is just as guilty as the Blackwater Goons and the Wackenhut Goons who get their sexual giggles from directing violence against people. The Blackwater and Wackenhut goons get SEXUALLY turned on by Killing Babies and, in my opinion, so does every Cop in the world. And this one, before his posting got flagged, left his Phone

Al-Qaeda combat-tourism deluxe pkg?
Combat-tourism has never been more accessible, by simply enlisting with state forces you have a license to hunt in a war zone. Today's ROE pretty much mean open season. If you can't make the military commitment, negotiate a contract with a private mercenary firm where the conditions are riskier but the limit on civilians is irrelevant. How long before real adventurers can hire safaris to bag the most coveted trophy according to world-sentiment, a US soldier? Al-Qaeda al-Shmaeda --no need to join a West-hating jihad-- I'm talking about embedding with a military contractor who shoots both ways. 16146
Iraq contractor deaths counted in digits
Revealed: two more US contractors were killed in Iraq. Their bodies discovered after they had been captured last year. The FBI has asked the families not to comment publicly. Plus, this latest report came with more gruesome detail than Americans are accustomed. Something about severed fingers. 2940
Why rent-a-cop if you can rent-a-killer?
The city clerk has been working on a proposal to the Colorado Springs City Council to authorize private security firms to carry semi-automatic weapons. The New Life Church shootings raise the issue, apparently, that security personnel should be better armed, although there were no private security firms present. The mayhem was averted by volunteer church members assigned to security, who made do with a handgun. 2270
Jamie Leigh Jones is still locked in a box
When they teach in math class about the square roots of numbers, you invariably encounter the paradox of negative numbers. Since neither two positive factors nor two negatives can produce a negative, you're told the square root of a negative is "irreducible" and you must leave the equation be. It turns out that this explanation was really a matter of convenience, because later in the year students revisit the square root of -1 and learn it can be called an imaginary number. Now you were expected to solve the equation, and zoom, math took off from there. I remember feeling betrayed that math had become an abstraction, so comfortable was I to be stuck at the simpler impasse. 2263
“How awesome and powerful God is.”
Allah Akbar - God is Great. After the recent attempted rampage at New Life Church, officials no longer have to explain their church's unusual need to assign a dozen guards, half of them armed, and several policemen every Sunday to look over their members. They are quick to add "these are not mercenaries that we hire." Onward Christian soldier. 2260
United Nations pedophile ‘peacekeepers’
Everywhere in the US liberals want the United Nations to get involved and send in the 'UN peacekeepers', even though the UN Security Council is totally controlled by the American government. 2085
Silencers
Did Blackwater sneak silencers into Iraq? That's a good question, because silencers are used mainly by snipers. Is this the true face of bringing 'democracy' to Iraq? 2084
Musharraf vetoes US negotiated deal with a bang
Oh my! Dubya so wants these 2 kids to get along but that all got blown away with a Big Bang yesterday. Generalissimo Musharraf just doesn't want to share power with a prettier face it seems. 2038
Unlawful Combatant Private Contractors
Here's a rare photo of some private security contractors in Iraq. In the wild west they were called guns for hire. Incorporated they became Pinkertons and so continued a long tradition of reviled professional soldiers, Hessians, Swiss Guards, Gurkhas, usually associated with totalitarian regimes, not democracies. 1939
Unleash the dogs of war FOR HIRE
Blackwater, Aegis and the body of Khan
When Genghis Khan died, his body had to be returned from the battlefront to his birthplace in Outer Mongolia. Two factors determined how the Mongols decided to accomplish this. First, his successors hoped to keep word of the great Khan's death from spreading panic across his empire, lest recently conquered vassals fall to the temptation of insurrection. Second, the Mongols were concerned not to be observed choosing their leader's final resting place, to circumvent thieves trying to retrieve the treasures to be buried with him. Here's the plan they developed: don't let anyone see you. 1884
Call out Alliant Techsystems & CACI too
Other military industries complicit in war crimes in Iraq have offices in Colorado Springs at Academy and Fountain Blvds. ATK Alliant Techsystems is the leading supplier of Depleted Uranium, which is poisoning the Iraqi populace as well as our soldiers. Ft Carson vets who father children with birth defects will know whom they can hold responsible. Likewise, CACI International provides "security solutions" to our boys overseas. Celebrated, ie leaked, examples were the torture methods employed at Abu Ghraib. To be fair, abuses at Abu Ghraib were also administered by Colorado Springs neighbor TITAN CORP, now L-3 Communications Titan Group. Isn't it amazing that so many culprits of Iraq atrocities are represented in Colorado Springs, at ACADEMY AND FOUNTAIN?! Our visit on Tuesday will be straight into the midst of these callous profiteers.
US is militarizing Canadian society too
Just like the US has drawn Great Britain into its orbit of militarizing world society so to is it doing with our neighbor to the North, Canada. (Hey, I always liked that 'neighbor to the North' phrase!) 1560
Darfur is not 2 sides fighting each other
The false version, put out by the 'Save Darfur' pro- do something folk, is that Darfur is a matter of 2 sides, a good side of Black victims and a bad side of Arab murderers. This couldn't be farther from the truth though, yet this 'Black and Arab' view is very useful for prompting US interventionism into the region. 1461
US helicopter gunships threaten Pakistan mosque in siege
The embattled US military puppet regime of Musharraf is using US made helicopter gunships to threaten continued attack on an Islamabad mosque where young students are holed up inside. What an image for the entire Muslim world to see. 1428
Private Military Contractors
The definitive film so far about private military contractors in Iraq is Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers 1418
‘The Peace and Stability Industry’ goes to work ‘for’ Darfur
Yes, there is such a creature that calls itself 'The Peace and Stability Industry'. The 'International Peace Operations Association' considers themselves to be just that. And they're for 'Saving Darfur'. 1416
Mohammed Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini’s legacy
Yasser Arafat's legacy is death. Fatah is now completely connected with total betrayal in the eyes of the Palestinians. How could it be otherwise now that the US and Israel are all that props up this monstrous remnant of the Palestinian cause called Fatah? 1400
The OAS under Bush
'Orgies on the negotiating table' by Colombian death squad leaders is in the news in Latin America. 1314
Blackwater USA out of Sudan!
Last night, some misguided peace activists in Colorado Springs got together at 'Poor Richards' to call for more US-UN-EU intervention into Sudan. They want to stop the bloodshed in Darfur but seem oblivious to the actual realities of US global interventionism. Their get together comes just days after Joseph Biden, a Democratic Party presidential candidate, called for US troops to be sent into Sudan. 1292
Privatized war
Jeremy Scahill testified before a Congressional panel about war sub-contracting by the Pentagon last week. It was pretty damning testimony and spreads the light about how so many private companies have no desire to see the endless war ever end, since their profit making is tied to continued hostilities. How many of these companies operate in Colorado Springs?
Otpor and the US made coup attempts against Chavez in Venezuela
As a leader of Otpor (now called Canvas) meets with people in Colorado Springs and at Colorado College, it might be of interest to follow the trail of Otpor to Venezuela, and efforts of the US to overthrow Hugo Chavez there. 1260
What does ‘Otpor’ have to do with Colorado Springs?
You probably missed the notice, but Otpor will be at Colorado College this week and next, 'organizing non-violence' oriented people. Otpor claims credit for itself for supposedly non-violently bringing down Milosevic in Yugoslavia, though the real credit for this feat had more to do with the violence of an illegal war against Yugoslavia organized by the US and its European allies than any local student movement in Belgrade. 1245
Artillery fodder, and cheap!
I've got an algebra problem for you. If there are approximately the same number of private contractors, which we'll denote as (m) -for mercenaries, as there are reservists and active duty soldiers, which we'll denote as (s), in Iraq; and if each mercenary (m) earns ten times as much per day as a soldier (s); how much of the supplemental war allocation is slated to "support the troops?" 1207
