Blackwater References

The Ones Who Fly Away From Omelas (Why not have a distinctive blog title?) has a fine BW wrap up of links & whatnot. Be sure to click on the e-letter that BW (now calling itself Blackwater Worldwide, odd for a company that says it's so All-American, but no matter the name it remains a subsidiary of the Prince Group, just like all the off-shore, tax-free outfits "affiliated" w/ it) has sent to its "supporters." Why does a fucking corporation need "support," as if it were cancer research, or "Be Kind to Animals Week?" And it has a newish, less threatening logo.




Old logo on the left, new logo on the right.

Also, look at Danger Room (we've pre-clicked to the "Mercs" category) for an overview of Blackwater & its fellow private security contractors, & the "new logo" contest they're kindly hosting. Our fave? Right here:
Jesus, Guns & Money. All hail America! Or else!!

    You mean the favicon? It was the only thing we could find that had much impact @ that size.
    Down w/ the arsehats indeed. If only there weren't so many of them & they weren't in positions of power. (But that's part of what makes them arsehats, isn't it?)

    Ta!
