Prob when the videos of them having fun shooting random civilians came out.



You think the CIA will cut ties with an organization because they shot civilians?

They actually just changed their name to Triple Canopy and got another 100 million dollar contract with our government.
Again changed their name to Academi and yet another 135 million dollar contract.


It's under new ESG-friendly management.

I would suggest you watch the Shawn Ryan podcast with the Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater.



Interesting. I have never heard of this podcast. I will give it a listen tomorrow.

I just posted links to it. The swamp State Dept fined Erik for running arms. HRC runs arms.

Imagine the state dept needing to hire blackwater and wanting their protection unarmed. They don't.

The thing is that I was always under the assumption that Blackwater was a morally corrupt crony capitalist corporation but now after seeing how deep state, political elite, and gatekeepers of information collude to modulate outrage up or down based on political expedience, I've come to realize that much of what we're outraged about is like that on purpose whether deserved or not.

So with that in mind, I now assume Blackwater made political enemies and that's why we decided we cared about the stuff they did.
