<snip>BO GRITZ, patriot movement leader. Gritz had a popular radio show and in 1994 founded a "covenant community" in Idaho called Almost Heaven, a Promised Land for patriots where people could live free from government intervention. He made a living traveling the country, training people how to be survivalists in preparation for Y2K.

Gritz lost credibility after he admitted shooting himself in an attempted suicide after his wife sought a divorce. The decorated Vietnam War veteran said that he was trying to "extinguish" the pain in his heart but missed.

Gritz and others in the movement lost more credibility when Y2K was not the catastrophe they had predicted. Gritz now is a follower of the Christian Identity religion, which teaches that Jews are Satanic and nonwhites are inferior.

Last month, Gritz immersed himself in the controversy over removing the feeding tube from Terri Schiavo. Gritz went to Pinellas Park, saying he wanted to make a citizen's arrest of the Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer, who was handling the Schiavo case.

Funny the MSM never mentioned good old Bo Gritz being down in Pinellas Park? They must have just plum forgot about it.

1. but, brightens for others doing business ... as 'a business' ...

perhaps my intuition is off ... but, I perceive the Blackwater group to be of this 'mindset'

won't find any organizational charts, names, who's who, etc. on the websites


somebody issued someone a business license; and somebody is issuing them government contracts ... I assume they are an EEO/AA employer, and meet other Federal Acquisition Requirements ... wonder how the cost is justified? are they a sole source? is there price competition? who would be considered a competitor?


why is Blackwater's existence even necessary?

the context of the word 'patriot' in the article may have warranted quotation marks ... imo, anyway ...
