Private Paramilitary Group hired by Bush Campaign. Kerry needs to..

expose this evil, respond to this threat and address it publicly.

The Daily Kos is reporting on Vance International, a private paramilitary and security firm which is part of the growing BFEE army of Blackoperators, psyops, secret military ops and political dirty tricksters.

Scroll down for the story:

I seriously worry for our future president when a paramilitary group is engaged to make sure Bush "wins" in November.

More info on these guys:

PLEASE feel free to add your own research on this group. When something bad happens (politically) they should be questioned first.

These are not the ONLY private mercenary types in play, but they ARE a biggie.


What is even MORE troubling is that Vance International has been identified as an agent of the Saudi government and, as such, in at least one case was given farking SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY for violating US law!

http://www.pattonboggs.com/Views/releases/2001_05_01_forimmunitycase.html

So, to recap: Bush has hired a private security firm, with paramilitary type capacity, it seems, which has been identified by the Federal Courts as a Foreign agent of the Saudis with some degree of sovereign immunity to operate for his campaign.

Any questions?

1. According to the Daily Kos article:

This is what Vance provides:

Professional and responsive asset protection services has made our Asset Protection Team (APT) the undisputed leader in the field of labor unrest and major event security since 1985. APT provides security personnel who are trained to protect people and property during potentially disruptive situations, such as strikes, union organizing drives, and plant closings. In addition, APT supplies seasoned professionals during special events and emergency situations, including traveling exhibits, conferences, demonstrations, fund-raising events, and man-made and natural disasters. Discipline and restraint characterize APT, whose operations pioneered the use of photo and video documentation. Our capabilities include business interruption contingency planning and consulting, security personnel and services (e.g., access control, critical area monitoring, crowd control and observation, photo documentation, and emergency response), logistics support, and pre- and post-crisis counseling.


NOW - I must add that these guys provided security to such notables as Kissinger AND Nelson Mandela.

They must be good at what they do.

But the issues raised about the abuse of these services is what troubles me: These SOUND like paramilitary goons and stormtroopers used for strike breaking and "man-made" disasters (like, say, war and terrorist MIHOP's?).

This is NOT an issue which should be ignored.
