blackwater

I bet if they did Blackwater would rebrand back to Blackwater.

Which became very obvious by their totally dependency on PMFs like Blackwater and Halliburton to provide security.

Eric Prince of Blackwater has been accused by former employees of trying to start a Crusade.

Academi may as well be a new organization.i don't consider it a successor to blackwater, even if it is in a legal sense.

I've been saying for years that there is a huge and growing market for a Blackwater style cyber firm.

A ridiculous name that sounds even more scary than blackwater.

For the most part, the protesters were unarmed, and those that were had wooden shields, clubs, and hardhats - hardly a Blackwater style operation?

Our military uses Blackwater (now rebranded because of their human rights violations) a benefit being that if a private corporations commits war crimes - it isn't technically the US governments fault.

I don't think many of those 2 billion people would say they prefer to poo in a box hanging over a river, then have to get their drinking water out of that river, over more sophisticated alternatives like separate potable, gray- and blackwater management.

The book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army"[0] paints a pretty solid picture of his Crusade mindset.

One notable bit was the incident where "a famous actress turned humanitarian [...] with various human-rights groups, wanted to hire Blackwater to set up safe havens in Sudan to protect civilians fleeing the janjaweed militia" but decided against it.

If I were a "big bad charity" I'd much rather spend my millions hiring Blackwater to go bust a few corrupt heads than pay them off.

Rebranding has been the tactic of choice ever since Blackwater decided that PR was expensive and it would be cheaper to simply rebrand themselves as "Xe" (now "Academi" - they ruined the "Xe" brand, too).

Academi (Blackwater) was in Ukraine as early as January (this can be confirmed with Google image searches).

Sometimes it even does a better job at killing, which is why private contractors exist for warfare, such as Blackwater/Academi.

And any cargo that is worth defending (nuclear, weapons, etc.) can hire mercenaries like Blackwater.
