Private Armies:

You might know the name 'Blackwater' in connection with "military contractors" serving in war zones such as Iraq - The deployment of private armies allows Governments to disown responsibility for the slaughter of combatants and civilian "collateral deaths" in their dirtier invasions. -"Who Me?" .

I could list a few hundred business's names here as being involved around the planet in the bulk killing game - and there would be a similar length list of countries and instances of their involvement .. but that VERY RISKY process would need much research to write some large book .. and although I am old now - I don't want to shorten my life expectancy more than prudently considered.

Anyway, - 'Blackwater became 'Xe Services' - then they were 'Academi' then  Intenational Development Solutions was it's operational subsidiary - then it merged with 'Triple Canopy'  part of 'Constellis Group'  ..

Who knows what they call their current accounts now? - These modern mercenary groups or Private Military Companies sprout-up out of the ground like toxic mushrooms in resource rich areas - to profit from the killing of and removal of obstruction to the theft of assets such as OIL, GOLD, DIAMONDS and other minerals such as 'rare earths'.

We likely will begin to hear more of the Russian 'WAGNER GROUP' in our media - as Western propaganda machinery gets itself sorted as to who is "in" and who is to be demonized next, in the reports from Ukraine ..

Their quandary is that Putin's forces belong to the same right-wing corporate pirate class as themselves, rather than being 'Lefties' .. the usual enemies. Half of London's CBD investment property is owned by Putin's mates. - There is no question but that this mercenary mob are paid killers and war criminals acting as shadow forces in many theatres of war .. but don't let their activities 'overshadow' or mask the killings our Western covert forces are busily conducting.

When did we last hear about whatever is happening now in "liberated" post Gaddafi LIBYA ?

- If you have the time to prepare your own expose on "WAGNER" activity - read this link carefully:

- It's a big entry ..

I would like to suggest that - terrible as is the existence and use of these professional killer groups by business's and by their despicable controlling elites - most every government on our planet recruits, trains, and pays it's own official specialist ELITE Forces to conduct secret operations in 'deniable' circumstances.

I once was discussing 'GUNS' and Capital Punishment with a (church elder) friend who avowed that OUR New Zealand Government was against all killing of any kind - until I reminded him that the NZ SAS was a well known and admired group of military killers who were rewarded with higher pay rates and medals for their efforts, as directed by the Government.

But - we are told that we need to "control" sport gun ownership in New Zealand eh . .
