Blackwater's top brass - Erik Prince - neo con gang member

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=108028&ran=144012


ERIK PRINCE, 37, Blackwater’s founder and chairman, has deep roots in conservative Republican politics in Michigan.

His father, Edgar Prince, turned a small die-cast shop in Holland, Mich., into a major auto parts supplier with a specialty product: a windshield visor with a lighted mirror. After his death in 1995, the company was sold for $1.4 billion. Edgar Prince was a confidant and financial backer of Gary Bauer, a conservative activist and onetime presidential candidate.

Erik Prince’s sister Betsy, a former chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party, is married to Dick DeVos, billionaire son of the founder of marketing giant Amway and this year’s likely Republican candidate for governor of Michigan.

Prince is a board member of Christian Freedom International, a nonprofit group dedicated to helping persecuted Christians around the world.

Since 1998, he has made nearly $200,000 in contributions to Republican committees and candidates, including President Bush and indicted former House leader Tom DeLay, according to Federal Election Commission records.

5. Well, I hope so, but I sure don't see anybody marching in the streets
much less storming the Bastille.

I'd be up in arms, myself.

This is just great. Mercenaries - killers for hire. Doing America's dirty work for fun and profit. How low have we stooped? They're like our very own American SS.

7. Soon I'm sure
These people are Drunken louts who revel in killing, and will jump in a pond and fuck fish if paid enough money by their masters.

6. The company you keep
This is yet another example of Dick DeVos being connected to all of the wrong people. We need to continue to get the truth out about DeVos, from his political and family connections, to his extremist views on issues such as abortion, to his fortune made by exporting American jobs

8. Thanks donsu - I've been on Blackwater for years as a BFEE enforcer who
along with DynCorp would be the private military that takes over after BushInc depletes and collapses this nation's military forces.
