		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obama, though, is keeping Blackwater on, and the State Department has not ruled out that they’re going to stay on for much longer, the aviation division of Blackwater in Iraq, and also Blackwater is on the US government payroll in Afghanistan, also working for the Drug Enforcement Agency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;from Jeremy Scahill:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.democracynow.org/2009/4/2/obamas_blackwater_jeremy_scahill_on_triple&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.democracynow.org/20....._on_triple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;your Leader, President Obama, is still funneling tax dollars to Blackwater - so those who voted for him are indirectly responsible for the further enrichment of Erik Prince, xtian crusader.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Right there, is a prime example of the necessity for a stiff inheritance tax.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe we could make it retroactive?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;‘assassinating-whistle-blowers/murder-for-hire and organized arms smuggling charges. If any of these charges had legs, couldn’t all of Blackwater be designated a racketeering influenced corrupt organization and simply seized and shut down?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bet they know some of the same people. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(H/t MadDog :))&lt;br /&gt;
‘In May 2001, CIA officer Franz Boening submitted a memorandum to the Agency Inspector General alleging that the CIA’s relationship with disgraced Peruvian intelligence official Vladimiro Lenin Montesinos may have involved violations of U.S. law.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2009/08/boening_memo.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.fas.org/blog/secrec....._memo.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Vladimiro Lenin Montesinos,  interesting chap. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘Montesinos was a Peruvian politician. Montesinos was born in Arequipa. His parents were fervent communists who named him after Lenin. In 1965, as a military cadet, he studied at the US Army’s School of the Americas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the early 1970s, during the leftist Military Government of General Juan Velasco, Montesinos became a captain of the army. In 1973, he was appointed aide to the army chief and prime minister, General Edgardo Mercado. In 1976, Montesinos was charged by My. Army Jose Fernandez Salvatteci with spying for the United States because he revealed a list of weapons that Peru bought from the Soviet Union. The investigation was terminated abruptly by General Mercado. After Velasco was deposed in 1975, Montesinos made a two-week visit to the United States, paid for by an American government grant. Upon his return to Lima, he was arrested for not having obtained formal permission for the trip from the government of Peru. During the investigation that followed, top-secret documents were found in his possession that he had photocopied and given to the American CIA.’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Farther down the page&lt;br /&gt;
‘Frequently, Montesinos secretly videotaped himself bribing individuals in his office, and he made thousands of such tapes, incriminating politicians, officials and military officers and, in all probability, Fujimori himself. His downfall appears to have been precipitated by the discovery of a major arms shipment, airlifted from Jordan via Peru, to the FARC insurgent guerrillas in southern Colombia negotiated by guerrilla leader Tomás Medina Caracas.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimiro_Montesinos#The_CIA_connection&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V.....connection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then theres this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.danielhopsicker.tv/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.danielhopsicker.tv/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I sincerely pray that the entire story of Amway,the Prince family, Blackwater, the Christian Right and all the actions of these hating murdering people is revealed so that our society can recover.  What we have done (and sadly continue to do)in Iraq and Afghanistan can never be repaid but we could start by destroying that so-called embassy in the middle of Iraq and start to rebuild the country.  We could have the entire Bush administration up on charges of crimes against humanity. We could drive out the corporate bosses, some who are violent Christians, who make sure that the majority of Americans never get the news that they need. Was it these violent Christians who initiated the corporate take over of the media so that the only news available now is through the internet?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
