Is it sad that this doesn’t surprise me?
Top executives at Blackwater Worldwide authorized secret payments of about $1 million to Iraqi officials that were intended to silence their criticism and buy their support after a September 2007 episode in which Blackwater security guards fatally shot 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad, according to former company officials.
Of course it isn’t. Why? Because this is what Blackwater does. They take billions of taxpayers’ dollars in no-bid contracts, kill hundreds of innocent Iraqi civilians, and then bribe those Iraqi civilians they didn’t kill with, you guessed it, taxpayers’ dollars.
But they aren’t alone. KBR, Halliburton, Dyncorp, and Boeing do it too. They all use taxpayers’ dollars to get rich and fuck over Americans.
Yet people don’t care. They don’t care about the billions given to all of these corrupt business. They don’t care about human trafficking, gun trafficking, child prostitution, torture, rape, and murder being committed in their name.
But they do care about ACORN. And they do care about a retarded Alaskan politician that says the government is trying to kill old people.
Which is sad, because I find killing old people a fantastic idea.
