Murdoch Speaks about spending 5 Billion U.S. Dollars


As the financial news world turns on its head, Rupert Murdoch, giggles with glee.
" I don't know how these fools do business in America. I've nearly bought everything I can get my hands on. I love the United States. Thanks guys, this country has lined my pockets for years."
When asked about the future of the Wall Street Journal, Murdoch replied,
"It will be great for the world. Lately I've ran out of news outlets to display my senseless collection of babble. Are you kidding me, of course the Journal has a bright future. These drunken druggie Hollywood slut IT girls are making me millions. I love 'em all. America will hail me as a king when I bring the IT girls to the top rated financial news source in the world....I'm just so excited!"
Cheers could be heard coming out of the FOX newsrooms. When told the news about Hannity, O'Reily, and Neil Cavuto reportedly 'holed up' in the bathroom with a pre-release copy of the 'new' Journal...Murdoch hailed,
"This is true..I gave them a 'special edition' months ago...That edition has some of my premier work. It has Aussie strippers gone bad, UK whores in rehab, my family vacation highlights with the Bushes and Cheneys'. That is an excellent piece...the commentary was done by Bill Kristol...I love that kid .If I didn't have my own copy I would be in there with them."

The Statements Don Rumsfeld did not say on Camera


In a shocking backroom statement, Donald Rumsfeld, after his House Committee appearance on the Tillman cover up inquiry ,exclaimed
"...Are you kidding? Do you remember Harry Whittington?...One hunting trip is all it takes....Of course 'I don't recall'. I don't want to eat buck shot. In fact I don't recall anything from the years in which I've known Dick. "
As the room was silenced by the statements, Rumsfeld, was caught muttering while reshuffling his paperwork, notes, drawings, Machiavellian plans ....
" Why the hell did they not give me executive privilege? Letting me go up there and cover for these 'fellas. Damn it. I'm retired. I've been..well...um..uh....All I can say is remember Harry. Dick gave him a little Valentine's day gift last year. I don't want any gifts, any contact, just let me be. 'I don't recall!'...and Rove that lil'' bastard. He gets executive privilege invoked for him.(inaudible)...I've been covering for him since he was in CREEP. I'm not going 'hunting' with him either."
They never retire .... Same Players. Different Scandal.

Has Blackwater USA entered Darfur?


After four years of genocide in the Darfur region of the Sudan, the United Nations has decided to enter the fight to halt the senseless killings. Late in the night, the UN Security Council along with the UK, co-sponsored a resolution to create a 'hybrid' UN force. Comprised of roughly 20,000 'soldiers' and 6 ,ooo 'civilian police'. Are these police Blackwater USA?

Blackwater has long eyed doing business with the UN in the Sudan. They see the Iraq war winding down and are looking for more opportunities for expansion and the continuation of their 'soldier of fortune' corporate business plan. Chris Taylor, head of strategy for Blackwater, stated in 2006 that
"(his company) has a database of thousands of former police and military officers for security assignments...Blackwater personnel could set up perimeters and guard Darfurian villages and refugee camp in support of the U.N."
"There are a lot of crises in the world...so if they can get their foot in the door, it potentially opens up an entire new business sector" stated Peter Singer of the Brookings Institution.
Blackwater USA's previous acknowledgment of wanting to pursue doing 'business' with the UN in the Sudan leads to an eerie suspicion that they are part of this new 'hybrid' force. Although billed by the UN and British officials, the new hybrid force will have a 'predominantly African character'. What does that mean? Are they going to hire the rebels for cheap...Peruvians, Chileans, Fijians...Malyasians...Who? Triple Canopy Inc. has done the same in Iraq and worse.....they've had the contract to guard the Green Zone since 2005, not the U.S. or British military.
"If Sudan does not comply with this resolution, the United States will move for the swift adoption of unilateral and multilateral measures...now Sudan faces a choice. Sudan can choose the path of co-operation or defiance." stated Zalmay Khalilizad, US Ambassador to the UN, former US Ambassador to Afghanistan, former US Ambassador to Iraq, the infamous double source for the Office of the VP and the Pentagon in the prewar intelligence Debacle, Original PNAC member, CFR member, architect of Afghan Mujaheddin policies (Osama's long time buddy).
Where are these soldiers and police coming from? Who is paying who for what contract? Is the Darfur going to become the 'new Iraq' for privately funded sub 'machine gun' contractors?

Luckily the House of Representatives have learned a little since the days of 'no bid contract Iraq'. In an attempt to keep a tab on U.S. corporations participating in the Darfur resolution force, the House passed the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act(H.R. 180) on Monday. H.R. 180 reads
"....require the identification of companies that conduct business operations in Sudan, to prohibit United States Government contracts with such companies, and for other purposes."
Let US hope the language stays the same.

Privately funded armies are a danger to the United States and the world. Trillions of dollars are spent worldwide on the proliferation of war by nations. We do not need contractors to do the bidding of nations who seek to maximize their profits and minimize their losses. We must not forget that corporate greed and lax oversight gave US Enron, Arthur Andersen, Haliburton, Qwest, Tyco, World Com, and countless other scandoulus companies. Do we really need to risk adding Blackwater USA, DynCorp, and Triple Canopy Inc. to this list. That day nears. Watch the Darfur force unfold...Blackwater USA shall soon appear as a new 'hybrid' force with a 'predominantly African character'.

The cause is noble..but does the means justify the ends. Shouldn't the US be fighting this battle. Is genocide not a cause for US...or is it because China has most of the oil claims to the region, leaving US to fight for 'blood oil' in the Middle East.
