Today In Hypocrisy

Beyond the theocratic militarism, general thuggery & secret privatized spy network we already know he'd like to be free to perpetrate, pathetic warlord wanna-be Erik "Blackwater/Xe/Whatever" Prince has further revealed himself to be a douchebag of the first water, & not merely because he's the brother of simply horrid SecEd Betsy "Amway" DeVos.

Nope, he's another one of those knocked-up-the-nanny-while-his-wife-was-dying-of-cancer types beside his other virtues.

Erik Prince has been in the news a lot lately. In his book, he explains the kind of man he is: the kind who impregnates his children's nanny while his wife is dying of cancer. https://t.co/Ih8Lapd1pj pic.twitter.com/gX7Ckg0Dfg

A man who can't keep his household from spinning completely out of control sounds well prepared to lead a 21st century American version of the British East India Co. thieving resources in Afghanistan while he's also running Trumpy's private web of spies.

 Aram Roston / BuzzFeed:

Private War: Erik Prince Has His Eye On Afghanistan's Rare Metals  —  BuzzFeed News is publishing the slide presentation by the founder of Blackwater to privatize the Afghan war and mine Afghanistan's valuable minerals.  He pitched the proposal to the Trump administration.

Discussion:

Anne Laurie / Balloon Juice:   Russiagate Open Thread: Meanwhile, What News of the Prince of Amway?

Kelly O'Meara Morales / The Week:   America's top mercenary wants to go into Afghanistan and take the minerals

Travis Gettys / Raw Story:   Erik Prince discussed unmasking with Devin Nunes after GOP lawmaker stepped aside from Russia probe

Natasha Bertrand / Business Insider:   Devin Nunes spoke to Erik Prince about House Intel testimony despite recusal from the Russia probe

Enough of this already. Go ahead, turn the entire defense budget over to Erik Prince, & let him run foreign policy too, such as it'll be beyond "Nice little country you've got here, 'cept for all the swarthy non-Christians in it". The sooner these United Snakes dissolve, implode, explode or drown in their own filthy hypocrisy the better.
