De psychopathische rotschoft Prince, die het oorlogsmisdaden plegende terreurbedrijf Blackwater, nu ‘Academi’* leidt, riep afgelopen week in The Wal Street Journal, dat de VS de aanpak van de Britse East India Company zou moeten volgen in Afghanistan……..

De massamoordenaar is nu duidelijk helemaal knettergek geworden, hij wil dat er in navolging van de onderkoning onder de Britse koloniale overheersing van India, een VS onderkoning wordt aangesteld voor Afghanistan……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!

E.e.a. zou goedkoper zijn, dan de huidige manier van werken, waarbij een onderkoning ook nog eens over de militaire strategie zou moeten beslissen, iets dat dan weer bijzonder gunstig zou zijn voor zijn terreurorganisatie……..

Oorlogsmisdadiger Prince noemt zich sinds kort ook ‘onofficieel gezant van Trump’, het is dan ook niet moeilijk te raden, wie hij als onderkoning van Afghanistan ziet……..

Op 2 juni ontving ik een artikel via Anti-Media, waarin e.e.a. uiteen werd gezet:

‘Literal
Colonialism’: Blackwater Founder Calls for ‘American Viceroy’
to Rule Afghanistan

(COMMONDREAMS) Displaying
what one commentator called “sheer
19th century bloodlust and thirst for empire,” Erik Prince, founder
of the private mercenary firm Blackwater, argued in The
Wall Street Journal this
week that the United States should deploy an “East India Company
approach” in Afghanistan.

The
country, he wrote, should be run by “an American viceroy who would
lead all U.S. government and coalition efforts—including command,
budget, policy, promotion, and contracting—and report directly to
the president.”

Prince
continued:

In
Afghanistan, the viceroy approach would reduce rampant fraud by
focusing spending on initiatives that further the central strategy,
rather than handing cash to every outstretched hand from a U.S.
system bereft of institutional memory.In

system bereft of institutional memory.

Prince
insists that these are “cheaper private solutions,” but such
privatization would also be a boon for military contractors.

As
one critic noted,
it is hardly surprising that a “war profiteer sees profit
opportunity in war.” Blackwater, the private military company
Prince founded in 1997—which now operates under the
name Academi—made
a fortune off the invasion of Iraq. In 2007, a New
York Times editorial noted that
Blackwater had “received more than $1 billion” in no-bid
contracts from the Bush administration; that same year, Blackwater
contractors shot and killed more than a dozen civilians in what came
to be known as the Nisour
Square massacre.

But
“war profiteering” doesn’t quite capture the scope of Prince’s
vision for Afghanistan. Despite the fact that private contractors
have a long
record of
abuse and deadly criminality, Prince believes that they should have a
stronger presence in a war that has spanned nearly 16 years and cost
trillions of dollars.

Such
a recommendation, combined with Prince’s invocation of the East
India Company (EIC)—a vestige of the British empire that “conquered,
subjugated, and plundered vast tracts of south Asia for a century,”
in the words of
historian William Dalrymple—amounts to a call for “literal
colonialism,” says Anil
Kalhan, chair of the New York City Bar Association’s International
Human Rights Committee.

Prince’s
past connections to President Donald Trump indicate that his advice
could potentially have some measure of influence on the White House.

As The
Intercept‘s
Jeremy Scahill, the author of a bestselling book on
Blackwater, reported in
January, Prince spoke with the Trump “team on matters related to
intelligence and defense” and offered suggestions “on candidates
for the Defense and State departments.”

In
April, The
Washington Post reported that
Prince, presenting himself as “an unofficial envoy for Trump,”
met in January with “a Russian close to President Vladi­mir
Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line
of communication between Moscow” and then-President-elect Trump.

Prince
also donated $250,000 to the Trump campaign following the 2016
Republican National Convention, according to the Post.

Prince’s
op-ed comes as the Trump administration is reportedly
considering sending
more troops to Afghanistan as civilian deaths from the war have
“reached
record levels.”
