Most people said that our boys and gals in uniform would never enforce NDAA by arresting Americans. Current administration found a solution to this potential problem – Blackwater and Robots.New
Defense budget will be $525 billion as opposed to $553 billion in 2011. Before you say yea and congratulate government on finally cutting spending, you should do a sanity check on current events touching on Department of Defense.
US Military will now eliminate about 100,000 positions, 80,000 in the Army and 20,000 in the Marine Corps.
Under the new budget, new Predator and Reaper drone air patrols, new remote controlled submarine missiles, Fire Scout robo-copters and something called "unmanned systems with increased capabilities" will be added to the military's arsenal.
The US Department of Defense already outsourced War on Drugs in Latin and Central America to Academi, a company that used to be called Blackwater before all the scandals.
The contract with Blackwater was no-bid agreement authorized by the Pentagon. With this deal, DoD transfers federal funds to this mercenary company without ever seeking better offers from competitors.
Incidentally, in July 2011, Jack Quinn, former White House Counsel to President
Bill Clinton and former Chief of Staff to Vice President
Al Gore, was named as an
Independent Director of the company.
It seems that government decided that more unemployed people is acceptable price to pay for the possibility to dole out money to private mercenary companies that do not pay US taxes.
Blackwater (or Academi as it is now called) employs people of many nationalities. There is no way you can expect patriotism or respect of American values from those guys.
For example, consider the 2009 lawsuit filed in US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, that accuses the company of engaging in weapons smuggling, money laundering, tax evasion, child prostitution, illegal drug use and destruction of evidence.
Now, there is no way to prevent DoD from hiring Blackwater to enforce
NDAA on American soil. There is no way you could argue or appeal to some Russian ex-Alpha trooper like you could to some of our own soldiers.
Once Blackwater gets no-bid contract to control remote drones, US Military will effectively end up outsourced in full. With NDAA authorizations and airborne, armed robotic force, Blackwater could rule the country.
You have to ask yourself one question – Do you feel lucky?
