Do you remember the Blackwater Massacre?

On September 16, 2007, employees of Blackwater Security Consulting (since renamed Academi), a private military company, shot at Iraqi civilians killing 17 and injuring 20 in Nisour Square, Baghdad while escorting a US embassy convoy The killings outraged Iraqis and strained relations between Iraq and the United States In 2014, four Blackwater employees were tried and convicted in U.S. federal court; one of murder, and the other three of manslaughter and firearms charges

When you remember the Blackwater Massacre, which was one of the main American atrocities that fueled the rise of ISIS, remember that Blackwater was founded by Erik Prince.

When you remember Erik Prince, remember how he helped Donald Trump cheat in the election by spreading false rumors about Hillary Clinton being indicted by the FBI:

Prince claimed he had insider knowledge of the investigation that could help explain why FBI Director James Comey had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server last week....”[NYPD] found a lot of other really damning criminal information [on Weiner’s computer], including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than twenty times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said. “The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress, was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained. “I believe—I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at One Police Plaza in New York—the NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion, from the Justice Department.”

Remember that Donald Trump owes Erik Prince big time! Seriously, this debt that is just huuuge.



When you remember that Donald Trump owes Erik Prince big time, remember that Betsy DeVos is Erik Prince’s sister.

When you remember Betsy Devos, remember that she has been picked by Donald Trump as his Secretary of Education despite having no academic qualifications as an educator and despite an acknowledged lack of commitment to upholding the federally granted civil rights of 6.5 million students with disabilities.

The vote is on Monday and it’s a whole lot more relevant than an imaginary massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
