A question regarding Blackwater in NOLA
Does the fact that these Blackwater fascist pigs are in NOLA...does this mean that the Bush Bastards now OWN the Crescent City?

What the fuck are Blackwater doing in this sort of situation? Considering we're being told that the Crescent City has been under control and peaceful for the past four days. Why can't Governor Blanco kick these pieces of shit out, it's meant to be HER state. Last time I checked, the Crescent City was STILL in Louisiana...or perhaps she can't kick them out, not if the Bush Bastards own the city now.

Maybe Blackwater are there, in case any Louisiana Democrat gets in the way of the Bush bastards land grab...Blackwater might be there as a death squad to keep the Louisiana Democrats in line and threaten them.

I DON'T like this, it's starting to freak me out SERIOUSLY. I'm starting to think of all kinds of stuff :scared:

1. They don't 'own' it yet, but it is thier plan. Public can change that, if
they are so inclined

2. Or they were hired to guard major buildings
because nobody trusted the cops?

6. The NOLA cops
I thought I read that 1,000 of them were sent to have a rest in Las Vegas and Atlanta?

The NYPD are in the Crescent City, so are some Californian cops...so why the need for the Blackwater thugs?

Oh heck, I'm getting bad vibes again :(

10. Yep. Fallujah.
Same same. Dogs eating dead bodies; evacuated; remainder regarded as 'insurgents'; breaking down doors. It's Fallujah.

12. Why NOT? They've ALREADY killed some in plane "accidents"
Edited on Sun Sep-11-05 01:51 AM by ...of J.Temperance
Oh YES...AND you know it.

Blackwater could ALSO be there to threaten their families. I still think Kerry and Edwards threw in the towel so quick because their kids were threatened by the Fascist pig fuckers.

15. Sorry, I don't like hysterical rumours.
Yours will have to suffice:

Blackwater might be there as a death squad to keep the Louisiana Democrats in line and threaten them.

17. So where's the proof that it ISN'T true?
I always go on the assumption that we're dealing with murderous, psychopathical, Fascist, scum sucking pig fuckers.

Until I see OR hear different, I go with the WORST option. Why? Because the Bush bastards are EVIL and thus are capable of anything and everything.

23. Where is the proof
that I'm NOT beaming evil mind control waves through the internet at you? You can't prove I'm not.

That's essentially what you're arguing in this post, "You can't prove there aren't secret ninja attack hamsters in New Orleans so until I see or hear anything different I go with the WORST option!"

19. I have no idea why I'm jumping in here but...
I think Blackwater has been hired by the owners of buildings, like the "Hilton," to secure the premises. Period. Their job in Iraq is a bit different, IMHO.

21. I read on a post recently that they were getting paid $350 an hr...
Hypothetically, IF I was, say, Donald Trump, and I owned the Bank of America building in downtown New Orleans, I would hire a private company to secure the building...that's all. IMO.

22. Blackwater went in working with the Government
They later added some other security work with Hotels and some wealthy folks.

They aren’t just working as glorified night watchmen though, many carry badges and have been sworn in to perform policing duties.
