Blackwater training camp in San Diego County

[annm4peace]

Did I hear that correctly ???? I can't believe Blackwater can get away with buying land for a mercenary training camp. Is the area zoned for this.

Did they decide to pick San Diego County so they can train on people trying to cross the boarder.

Anyone know what is going on ?

1. There was a report on DemocracyNow! on this.

There is a guy in the CA Dept of Homeland Sekurity that used to be THE DC lobbyist for Blackwater.

Nice, huh? Well, Duncan Hunter and Dana Rohrbacher (sp?) are working with him to put in "Blackwater West" in Potrero, CA -- that's east of San Diego, I think.

These felons that won't follow the UCMJ AND claim they should be immune in civil courts -- above the law altogether -- want to respond to earthquakes. Right. Over my f@cking dead body.

7. I met him!

I met that guy when I was in Atlantic City last month. He was coming out of one of those Atlantic City Discount Hotels.
What a piece of work!

3. This sucks.

8. LA

I feel the very same way. I heard about this when I was visiting LA and was looking for a room at either The Ivy Hotel or actually any of the trendy little Los Angeles Hotels. He and his wife happened to be at the Starbucks that I ran into to get directions. He seemed alright but I just knew too much about him.

10. I love LA!

A little off topic but how was The http://sandiego.nyctourist.com/ivy-hotel-san-diego.php">Ivy Hotel compared to the other http://losangeles.nyctourist.com">LA/http://losangeles.nyctourist.com/los-angeles-hotels.php">Los Angeles Hotels?

4. Duncan Hunter and Rorhabacher (sp?) -- Delay and Abramof cronies

are conspiring with the CA Dept of Homeland Sekurity -- who used to be THE lobbyist for Blackwater in DC to inflict these mercs on CA.

I was remembering Katrina today and wondering how they could get Blackwater in there but not the Red Cross or DRINKING WATER.

We can't let this happen.

5. Blackwater Update

Earlier this year, after getting the go ahead from federal court, Blackwater did open their training facility in San Diego. Activists have not given up the fight to stop Blackwater in San Diego and already organized several protests. If you want to learn more about this campaign, visit www.couragecampaign.org.
