RALEIGH, N.C.— The former president of Blackwater Worldwide was charged Friday with using straw purchases to stockpile automatic weapons at the security firm and filing false documents to cover up gifts given to the king of Jordan.

Gary Jackson, 52, who left the company last year in a management shake-up, was charged along with four of his former colleagues, according to the federal indictment.

Outrageous. Criminalizing the policy of predecessors...

[J Edgar]

The article repeatedly referred to “the prosecutors” - is this a DOJ prosecution, by the same guy who refused to prosecute Black Panthers intimidating voters? If so, then I am seeing a pattern here, where patriots who have been effective in the past, are being targeted for prosecution in the present by this CommieCrate Administration, and criminals who support the CommieCrate Administration are given free reign.

These security contractors were invented by the USG. They tendered for companies to supply these type of services.
Right now they protect a lot of our Embassy personnel overseas, military operations and services. They all operate under the operational control of the State Dept, Dept of Defense or other agency. Ultimately, the USG controls them. They end up being the scapegoat for the USG.

What do you expect from the DOJ that wants to read Miranda rights to enemy combatants? These communist don’t care about law they care about payback!!!!

[South40]

Gee! No bias in this reporting!

I would expect no less from the AP.

What a danged crock of excrement!

Anyone who has been to the Moyok facillity (including contractors, State Dept, CentCom, CIA, NSA, and members of every military branch) knows that a couple of stinking "machine guns" and soon-to-be short-barrel rifles are pretty insignificant given the size, scope and former mission of the facility.

This is just another WH-orchestrated political witch hunt by the marxists who now rule us.

This is just another WH-orchestrated political witch hunt by the marxists who now rule us.

And the Marxist in the WH has 3 more years.

Must have been a Republican.
Otherwise, you would not only NOT hear about it, but it would not even happen.

When the right regains power, learn these lessons and act accordingly.
