Blackwater and Monsanto, A Marriage Made in Hell

If you aren't familiar with these monsters...here are some examples of their work:

Monsanto: The GM genocide: Thousands of Indian farmers are committing suicide after using genetically modified crops

Blackwater: 5 Blackwater guards charged for Iraq massacre

Agribusiness giant Monsanto, which genetically modifies plants to excude or tolerate pesticide or to produce nonviable seeds, hired the services of the mercenary firm Blackwater to spy on activists, Jeremy Scahill reports. A death-tech firm weds a hit squad.
This is no doubt in response to a decade of GM crop sabotage efforts around the globe. Since the publicly-announced introduction of GM crops in 1996, concerned citizens have vandalized such crops every single year somewhere on the planet. Several thousand GM plants have been partially or wholly destroyed. (See brief history below.)
Blackwater is most notorious for its Nisour Square Massacre in 2007. Seventeen innocent civilians died when Blackwater goons opened fire in a busy market square. The hit team was later acquitted.
Scahill reports that through its web of companies, Blackwater (now Xe Services) spied on and/or infilitrated groups opposing Monsanto in 2008 thru earily 2010. He writes:
“The relationship between the two companies appears to have been solidified in January 2008 when Total Intelligence chair Cofer Black traveled to Zurich to meet with Kevin Wilson, Monsanto’s security manager for global issues.
“After the meeting in Zurich, Black sent an e-mail to other Blackwater executives, including to [then-president Erik] Prince and [former CIA paramilitary officer Enrique] Prado at their Blackwater e-mail addresses.
“Black wrote that Wilson ‘understands that we can span collection from internet, to reach out, to boots on the ground on legit basis protecting the Monsanto [brand] name…. Ahead of the curve info and insight/heads up is what he is looking for.’

...One of the most incendiary details in the documents is that Blackwater, through Total Intelligence, sought to become the “intel arm” of Monsanto, offering to provide operatives to infiltrate activist groups organizing against the multinational biotech firm...

Blackwater/Xe cells conducting false flag terrorist attacks in Pakistan

WMR has learned from a deep background source that Xe Services, the company formerly known as Blackwater, has been conducting false flag terrorist attacks in Pakistan that are later blamed on the entity called “Pakistani Taliban.”

Only recently did the US State Department designate the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, a terrorist group. The group is said by the State Department to be an off-shoot of the Afghan Taliban, which had links to “Al Qaeda” before the 9/11 attacks on the United States. TTP’s leader is Hakimullah Mehsud, said to be 30-years old and operating from Pakistan’s remote tribal region with an accomplice named Wali Ur Rehman. In essence, this new team of Mehsud and Rehman appears to be the designated replacement for Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri as the new leaders of the so-called “Global Jihad” against the West.

However, it is Xe cells operating in Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad and other cities and towns that have, according to our source who witnessed the U.S.-led false flag terrorist operations in Pakistan. Bombings of civilians is the favored false flag event for the Xe team and are being carried out under the orders of the CIA...

...The ultimate goal is to destabilize Pakistan to the point where it has no choice but to allow the Western powers to secure its nuclear weapons and remove them from the country in a manner similar to the procurement by the West of South Africa’s nuclear weapons prior to the stepping down of the white minority government in the early 1990s.

WMR has been informed that any American, whether or not he or she holds a security clearance, is subject to U.S. national security prohibitions from discussing the U.S.- sponsored terrorist attacks in Pakistan. In one case, a threat was made against an individual who personally witnessed the Xe/CIA terrorist operations but is now threatened, along with family members.

Hollywood And Media Scramble to Prepare Pro-War (But Box Office Loser) 'Hurt Locker' Win at Academy Awards

Pro-war media like the New York Times and Fox News are heaping praise on the film 'Hurt Locker' for giving Hollywood "a chance to get back in the good graces of the American people, who always want to see our fighting men portrayed positively."

You call those good graces? I call them the willful illusions of righteousness of any aggressor nation not too different from the celebrations of military strength and murderous wars which are encouraged in any proto-fascist nation. But call them good graces thats fine...

Anyway, even though 'Hurt Locker' has only grossed $12.6 million, there is a big push to move it ahead of the somewhat anti-war box office smash hit 'Avatar' which is the biggest grossing film of all time with more then $600 million in gross sales.

I have seen neither film, and my interest in this article is not to say which film is more artful or better. I wish to only expose my suspicion that there might be an agenda here to put a pro-war film 'on top.' I must state that I do not know what the intentions of the makers of this film were, but what I choose to criticize here is how the film can be, and is being used as pro-war propaganda by Fox, The New York TImes, and even ex-Bush administration officials.

In the Fox article, you can see the reviewer proclaiming the 'pro-war' film to have 'the edge' right from the title: "Why Quietly Pro-War 'Hurt Locker' Has the Oscar Edge." It goes on to talk about how the Iraq war is "changing in perceptions" and how Hollywood was "on the wrong side of the public", that is until now. Who is the reviewer in this case? James Pinkerton, who was part of the White House staff under both Reagan and George H.W. Bush. So you have a guy from the White House reviewing movies now and telling you the 'pro-war' film is better. What a surprise.

According to Pinkerton, who clearly idolizes the fictional soldiers of the film, they are nothing less then "heroes. Competent, yes, but courageous beyond any regular comprehension. So by that reckoning, “Locker” would rate as pro-war, because the warriors are presented as better versions of ourselves. Any one of us would want the men of “Locker” by our side in a fight. And it is all men; women play only the tiniest of roles in the film. “Locker” has the same dynamic as a male sports team -- and male sports are popular, too, even with women."

I don't know but there is something distasteful about an ex-White House staffer celebrating fictional soldiers as "better versions of ourselves" to me.

One reviewer attempts to say that a 'Hurt Locker' victory would be a "defiant celebration of artistry over commerce."

It might also represent the very interests of commerce at work behind the scenes to make sure a pro-war propaganda film gets pushed into the limelight.

Here is a bit of the excellent dialog from the 'artful' Hurt Locker.

First Soldier: "Want em to know if they are gonna leave a bomb on the side of the road for us, we are just gonna blow up their road."
Second Soldier: "Sounds Good."
First Soldier: "I'm cravin a burger is that strange?"

No it's not strange if your intention is to celebrate a world image of Americans as occupying thugs who miss their burgers.

The New York TImes included that clip in their puff piece blog on the movie where Melena Ryzik goes paint ball shooting with actor Anthony Mackie "to learn some of those [combat] moves and stances." Mackie also says during the video:

"We had these Blackwater guys that were working with us in the Middle East and they taught us like tactical maneuvers and stuff--how to just basically position yourself and move with a gun...We were shooting in Palestinian refugee camps. We were shooting in some pretty hard places. It wasn't like we were without enemies. There were people there looking at us, 'cuz we were three guys in American military suits runnin' around with guns. It was nothing easy about it. It was always a compromising situation."

An article in the Nation discusses the connection between Blackwater and the Hurt Locker.

Why not just nominate Erik Prince from Blackwater for Best Actor? Maybe dead Iraqis for best supporting role?

CIA, XE, the 'Shadow Warriors' and their Zombie Lovebuddies

I am going to turn attention away from the Underwear Bomber for a second to settle a score that needs desperately to be settled. I keep running in to writers trying to defend the CIA these days. I was trying to read of all things, an apocalyptic zombie novel, when I came to the author suddenly defending the CIA on page 46. I couldn't bring myself to read anymore of it. But moving on quickly from talentless zombie novels to something much more important. I went to the newstand today and since it was Sunday, I had a choice of two lousy newspapers, one The New York TImes, miserably overpriced at 5 dollars, and the other The Daily News for $1.25. I chose the Daily News. I was reading the Daily News and came across an article saying bluntly in the headline "Honor America's shadow warriors." The article goes on to rebuke a hostile attitude towards the CIA, eventhough it mentions that the "CIA officers lost in the Chapman bombing have received atypically positive covereage." He is refering to the apparent recent killing of CIA agents and XE Services(formerly called Blackwater) officers by a double agent from Jordan at Forward Opereating Base Chapman in Afganistan on December 30th. Firstly Blackwater, as the name poetically implies, is a dark organization of mercenaries used by the CIA for security, or even as a paramilitary force or assasination squad, and they have a reputation of lawlessly killing civilians. Let's hope they are never deployed in great number in the U.S. According to the Daily News I am supposed to "honor" these "shadow warriors." Also in a small inset is shown the deaths of CIA agents over the years, the sum total of which according to the inset doesn't get above 100. That's not to say that isn't still alot but when compared to the roughly 6 million killed in secret wars funded or organized by the CIA, I lose the ability to shed tears.

Here is a good list of CIA evil deeds. Sadly the author of the list himself, Steve Kangas, was found dead in the 39th floor bathroom immediately outside of the offices of a right wing financier who worked with the CIA who he was investigating. I wonder if the Daily News will publish an article telling us to honor him?

Nevermind....check out this list and you will find it hard to find something to "honor" on this list of CIA accomplishments.
