Jaguars vs Cows: JBS Fuelling Biodiversity Collapse in Brazil’s Forests
A damning Global Witness investigation exposes how JBS, the world’s largest meat company, is directly linked to deforestation in some of Brazil’s most biodiverse ecosystems, including the Amazon and Pantanal. Despite greenwashing promises, JBS continues sourcing cattle from ranchers involved in illegal deforestation in areas that overlap with protected jaguar territory—pushing iconic species like the jaguar closer to extinction. The company’s failure to track indirect suppliers undermines greenwashing and zero-deforestation claims. JBS is financed by British Bank Barclays who made a whopping $1.7 billion from this decimation of the environment. This scandal highlights the urgent need to divest your wealth from Barclays until they stop funding JBS. Also in the supermarket you can #BoycottMeat and be #vegan for not only farmed animals but also for wild animals like jaguars and countless others. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterGlobal Witness. (2024, May 15). Jaguars vs cows: The biodiversity crisis under JBS’s shadow. https://globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/forests/jaguars-vs-cows-the-biodiversity-crisis-under-jbs-shadow/
A Global Witness investigation has found that jaguars, vital guardians of Amazonian ecosystems and critical apex predators — are under siege as Brazil’s forests are cleared at alarming rates. New findings from Global Witness show that over 27 million hectares of the jaguar’s historic habitat in Brazil have been razed for industrial agriculture, particularly cattle ranching, between 2014 and 2023.
A single supplier to JBS, the world’s largest meat company, illegally cleared over 1,200 hectares of protected jaguar habitat in just a decade. Across the jaguar’s range in Pará and Mato Grosso states, 75% of farms linked to JBS’s supply chain broke environmental laws in the past five years. Deforestation and habitat fragmentation have devastated jaguar populations, classified as ‘Near Threatened’ on the IUCN Red List.
Jaguars are a keystone species, crucial to maintaining ecosystem health. Their decline ripples throughout the Amazon and Cerrado, triggering wider biodiversity loss. Meanwhile, financial institutions in Europe, China, and the US continue backing JBS despite its environmental breaches, profiting while forests fall.
With Brazil hosting COP30 this year, Global Witness is calling for world leaders to show real commitment. They must strengthen laws regulating supply chains and finance to protect remaining forests and Indigenous territories, or risk missing the 2030 deadline to halt deforestation.
Without urgent action, jaguars — once revered as guardians of the rainforest — could vanish forever.
The Global Witness investigation found over 27 million ha of jaguar habitat – an area larger than the UK – had been converted to agricultural land in the states of Mato Grosso and Pará as of 2023.

Mardoz/Shutterstock“We decided to investigate the loss of jaguar habitat driven by industrial agriculture because jaguars are a keystone species. They play a crucial role in stabilising ecosystems and maintaining biodiversity in areas such as the Amazon and Cerrado. When their territories are destroyed, the entire ecosystem suffers,” said Marco Mantovani, a Global Witness investigator leading the data analysis.
“Deforestation is a solvable issue, but it’s one where there is stalling, a lack of political will to actually meet the global agreement to end forest loss by 2030,” said Global Witness’s Reid, referring to the landmark pledge reached at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2021.
She told Mongabay that she hopes that at COP30 countries will put forward plans “to actually deliver [on] their commitments when it comes to forest loss.”
British banking giant Barclays was a main financier of the megaproject and made an extraordinary $1.7 billion from financing JBS, surpassing 30 other global financial institutions bankrolling the meatpacker. A key way to take action is to not only boycott meat in solidarity to cows and jaguars, but to also divest your funds from Barclays.

From 2014... How #USEvangelicals Fueled the Rise of #Russia’s ‘#ProFamily’ Right
An alliance is born between #AntiGay, #AntiAbortion American groups and the #RussianOrthodoxChurch
by Adam Federman, January 7, 2014
Long excerpt [pay attention to the names named!] :
"This rising #Russian social #conservative movement frequently invokes the argument that #ProGay and #WomensRights groups are puppets of the West, which is seeking to undermine Russian autonomy and interfere in the country’s internal affairs. At an annual meeting of journalists and academics presided over by Vladimir #Putin in Valdai in September, the Russian president said that European countries had strayed from their roots by legalizing #GayMarriage. He urged Russians to embrace the conservative values of the #OrthodoxChurch and other traditional religions and issued a warning to those who might want to challenge those values. 'Russia’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity are unconditional—these are red lines no one is allowed to cross,' he declared.
"Several #LGBT rights groups have been targeted under another new law, which requires any nongovernmental organization that receives funding from other countries for political activities to register as a '#ForeignAgent.' Failure to do so can lead to investigations, legal action or crippling fines. The implication is that these groups are not only agents of the West but also out of touch with everyday Russians.
"The irony is that it is the new conservative vanguard—anti-gay, anti-abortion and pro–'#TraditionalFamily'—that has most successfully cultivated the West’s financial and institutional support. Scott Lively, an extreme anti-gay campaigner, all but took credit for the new law, calling it 'one of the proudest achievements of my career,' while #BrianBrown, president of the #NationalOrganizationForMarriage, visited Moscow with much fanfare just before the new law was passed. But the language of Russia’s anti-gay and anti-abortion movement seems to borrow most heavily from mainstream evangelicals and conservative politicians in the United States and Europe. Referring to the anti-abortion bill passed in 2011, Lyubov Erofeeva, executive director of the Russian Association for Population and Development, a women’s advocacy group, said: 'It was 100 percent clear that everything was copied from the experience of American #fundamentalists and conservative circles of several European countries where #abortion is forbidden or restricted severely.'
"The church’s close ties with American evangelicals reflect a shift in policy. For much of the post-Soviet period, the Russian Orthodox Church held evangelical denominations at arm’s length, fearing that they would compete for influence within Russia. But as the church has consolidated its power, it has come to view the evangelical community as a partner. 'The #ROC realizes that the evangelical denominations are not their opponents but rather their allies in the relations between the church and the secular population,' says Olga Kazmina, a professor of ethnology at Moscow State University.
" 'It’s a re-envisioned paradigm,' says Father #LeonidKishkovsky, head of the Orthodox Church in America’s Department of External Affairs. In many ways, it makes sense, he adds: both religious groups share an ideological commitment and have grown disillusioned with the way mainline churches have dealt with issues like gay marriage and abortion. 'But what I’m quite nervous about is the ideological core which actually motivates both sides,' Kishkovsky says. 'Where is the motivating force? Is it in faith? Or is it in political ideology?'
"The Russian Orthodox Church’s chief emissary to the US evangelical community is #HilarionAlfeyev, a high-ranking bishop and chairman of the powerful Department of External Church Relations (the position previously held by #PatriarchKirill). In February 2011, the 47-year-old Alfeyev traveled to Washington, where he met with prominent evangelical and 'pro-family' leaders; and then to Dallas, where he addressed thousands of members of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and emphasized the importance of 'creat[ing] new alliances,' especially around issues of marriage, abortion and the family. Alfeyev also visited the #DallasTheologicalSeminary and had an hour-long meeting with #GeorgeWBush.
"The trip to Dallas grew out of an increasingly close friendship between church leaders and a small circle of American and European Christian businessmen in Moscow. Alfeyev’s visit was organized by #JerryFullinwider, an #OilExecutive and elder of the #HighlandParkChurch who, until recently, had business interests in Russia. Fullinwider, a member of the #KochBrothers’ circle of major donors—those who have given more than $1 million to #Koch-related causes—met Alfeyev through his friend Bob Foresman, head of #Barclays Capital in Russia. This select group of businessmen has unusual access to Alfeyev. In an interview for this article, Fullinwider described having dinner at Alfeyev’s private residence on a recent trip to Moscow. 'He’s a real busy guy,' says Fullinwider. 'He’s very, very hard to get in touch with unless you have a special number and you know the main guy who handles him, who’s a good friend of mine.'
"Alfeyev’s first trip to the United States paved the way for others, and in October 2012 he delivered a lecture at Villanova University, where he received an honorary degree and paid a visit to the Milwaukee-based #LyndeAndHarryBradleyFoundation. One of the largest donor organizations of its kind in the United States, the #BradleyFoundation, with more than $600 million in assets, is known for its contributions to US conservative groups like the #HeritageFoundation and the #HeartlandInstitute. But its charity isn’t limited to home: over the last four years, the foundation has given $750,000 to the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation in Moscow, a new educational and cultural initiative founded in 2009 by Alfeyev, Russian #billionaire and pharmaceutical magnate #VadimYakunin, and #LeonidSevastianov, a 35-year-old international business consultant and head of Stratinvest.ru, a consulting and public relations firm. In 2009, through Alfeyev’s charity, the Bradley Foundation donated $150,000 to support the 'Day of the Family,' a recently created Russian holiday honoring faith and fidelity. The annual event has been championed by #SvetlanaMedvedeva, wife of Prime Minister #DmitriMedvedev, a staunch #AntiAbortion advocate.
“We want to promote the idea of the unity between the West and Russia on the basis of common Christian roots,” Sevastianov told Inside the Vatican magazine in 2009. “We believe in this alliance among traditional Christian countries…and we believe that, with a united voice, we can be a strong force against the radical secular world which has become dominant in our societies.”

Die Waldbrände werden kommen: Ein Interview mit Toby Shone
Der ehemalige politische Gefangene redet über seinen Anarchismus, das 325-Projekt und den Widerstand gegen die physischen und mentalen Gefängnisse, die uns alle umgeben.
Du hast kürzlich über die Wichtigkeit von Solidarität und Verbindungen zwischen Gefangenen und ihren Unterstützern draußen gesprochen. Kannst du uns Beispiele für diese Art der gegenseitigen oder kollektiven Stärkung im Kampf gegen die ständige Unterdrückung durch das Gefängnis nennen?
Kurz bevor ich 2024 freigelassen wurde, gab es im C-Flügel des HMP Garth in Leyland, wo ich festgehalten wurde, gewaltsame Zellendurchsuchungen durch eine Spezialeinheit der Gefängniswärter, die als National Search Team bekannt ist. Das #NST übernahm den Trakt mit Hunden und Schutzausrüstung. Die #Razzia fand Zelle für Zelle statt, begleitet von sinnloser Brutalität. Wir wurden zu zweit mit Handschellen gefesselt und in einen verschlossenen Nassraum gebracht. Einige Gefangene wurden geschlagen, misshandelt und viele unserer Sachen wurden zerstört. Einige der Jungs wehrten sich, überschwemmten ihre Zellen, schlugen gegen ihre Türen oder spielten aus Protest laut Musik. Am nächsten Tag weigerte sich der ganze Trakt, nach der morgendlichen Freistunde in die Zellen zurückzukehren. Als lautstarker und unkontrollierter Mob forderten wir die sofortige Rückgabe der beschlagnahmten Sachen, den Ersatz der beschädigten Sachen und verurteilten die Gewalt. Das führte dazu, dass die Wärter zurückwichen. In diesem Moment konnten die Wärter nichts machen, weil wir alle zusammen und ohne Anführer handelten. Am Ende der Mittagspause war der Streik vorbei.
Ähnliches erlebte ich, als einer der Gefangenen aus Depressionen oder Hoffnungslosigkeit heraus ums Leben kam. Demonstrationen vor den Gefängnissen, in denen ich festsaß, waren ebenfalls ein starkes Erlebnis, das sowohl die Wärter als auch uns beeindruckte. Vor allem, wenn Feuerwerkskörper den Nachthimmel erhellten und die Genossen draußen kämpferisch waren. Ich fand, dass sich die anderen Gefangenen in diesem weitgehend systemfeindlichen und kriminellen Umfeld im Allgemeinen gegenseitig unterstützten. Immer wenn ich verlegt oder in eine andere Zelle gebracht wurde, kamen die Jungs aus der Zelle, um zu sehen, ob es mir gut ging und ob ich etwas brauchte. Ich half anderen bei ihren #Gerichtsverfahren oder bei der Gefängnisverwaltung und versuchte, gemeinsame Interessen und Subversives zu finden. Wir versuchten, uns gegenseitig zu unterstützen, und wenn ich ein Problem hatte, brachten die Jungs auch ihre Forderungen vor. In den meisten Gefängnissen des Landes gibt es jeden Tag Verweigerungen und Proteste gegen die Bedingungen und die Behandlung. Ich habe aufgehört zu zählen, wie oft ich während meiner Haft von Verweigerungen der #Gefängnisarbeit und #Streiks gehört habe. Das ist sehr verbreitet, ebenso wie das Klettern auf die Netze, die die Treppenabsätze trennen, um gegen die Behandlung und die schlechten Bedingungen zu protestieren.
Als ich hörte, dass Genossen draußen revolutionäre Solidarität leisteten, spürte ich unsere Kraft innerhalb des Gefängnisses, das kann ich sagen. Von den Berichten über die direkten Aktionen im Fall #Adream in #Chile, #Frankreich, #Italien, #Indonesien und auf der ganzen Welt bis hin zu den #Telefonaktionen, die ich aus dem Gefängnis heraus zu Treffen von Genossen draußen durchführen konnte, spürte ich die Wärme der Genossen. Auch das Wissen um die zensierten Briefe und Bücher, die #Solidaritätsfonds und #Benefizveranstaltungen war großartig.
Für Leser, die 325 nicht kennen: Was kannst du uns über das Projekt und seinen Inhalt sagen?
325 ist ein anarchistisches Netzwerk für Gegeninformation und direkte Aktion. Im November 2020 hat die niederländische Anti-Terror-Polizei auf Anfrage ihrer deutschen und englischen Kollegen den Server nostate.net geschlossen, auf dem die Website von 325 gehostet wurde. Die Website war eine langjährige Informationsplattform für allgemeine Nachrichten, Berichte, Kommuniqués, Publikationen, Veranstaltungshinweise usw. Die Website deckte hauptsächlich #Europa, #Lateinamerika und #Südostasien ab. 325 ist auch ein #Printmagazin, das unregelmäßig erscheint, und das Kollektiv hat Dutzende von Publikationen herausgebracht, darunter den Newsletter Dark Nights, der eine eigene Website hat.
Im Laufe der Jahre hat sich 325 an einem sich entwickelnden partizipativen internationalen Netzwerk beteiligt, das auf direkter Aktion und der Unterstützung von Gefangenen basiert und Raum für verschiedene Strömungen anarchistischer, antikapitalistischer und zivilisationskritischer Gruppen bietet. In den letzten Ausgaben des Magazins hat sich der Schwerpunkt der Analyse etwas auf die tiefgreifenden neuen industriellen Veränderungen in #Produktion und #Technologie verlagert, wie künstliche Intelligenz, #Biowissenschaften und #Automatisierung. Das Archiv der 325-Website ist ein wichtiges Dokument des sozialen und bewaffneten revolutionären Kampfes über mehrere Jahre hinweg in Europa und international. Das Projekt begann 2003 und wird fortgesetzt.
Ich hab den Begriff „Anti-#Psychiatrie“ zum ersten Mal in 325 gesehen. Es gibt viel zu sagen über die Schnittpunkte dieser Agenda mit dem Anarchismus, aber du könntest uns auch einfach erzählen, warum ihr es damals für wichtig gehalten habt, das Thema anzusprechen.
Das war eine gemeinsame Entscheidung, die aus verschiedenen Einflüssen auf die frühe Gruppe in Brighton entstanden ist. Ich kann unsere Erfahrungen mit veränderten Bewusstseinszuständen und dem Zusammenbruch auferlegter sozialer Konditionierung erwähnen. Einige aus unserer ursprünglichen Gruppe hatten Erfahrungen mit psychiatrischer/psychologischer Kontrolle und geschlossenen Einrichtungen, und wir alle interessierten uns für den Einsatz der Psychoanalyse zur politischen Unterdrückung, für die Arbeit von Wilhelm #Reich, R. D. #Laing, das Sozialistische Patientenkollektiv (SPK) und die anarchistische Analyse der Beziehung des Individuums zur postindustriellen Gesellschaft.
Unser Genosse aus der Schweiz, der in den 2000er Jahren an einem frühen Anti-Zivilisations-Netzwerk in Europa beteiligt war, verfasste das Anti-Psychiatrie-Manifest „Reclaim Your Mind: An Urgent Message for all those who have or are in danger of being labelled mentally ill“ (Befreit euren Geist: Eine dringende Botschaft an alle, die als psychisch krank eingestuft wurden oder davon bedroht sind), das in der ersten Ausgabe des Magazins „325“ veröffentlicht wurde. Obwohl es im Kollektiv im Laufe der Jahre unterschiedliche Perspektiven zu diesem Manifest gab, ist die allgemeine Position, dass die Gesellschaft #Pathologie fördert und dass Medikalisierung letztendlich schädlich ist, ebenso wie Inhaftierung. Bei der Anti-Repressions-Versammlung, die im März letzten Jahres vom Anarchist Black Cross #ABC im #Cowley Club in #Brighton organisiert wurde, hat ein Genosse aus #Schweden beschrieben, wie Genossen von den Behörden statt ins Gefängnis in psychiatrische Einrichtungen gesteckt werden, um ihre Fälle aus der #Öffentlichkeit zu nehmen und sie wegen ihrer anarchistischen Ideen zu einer medizinischen „Behandlung“ zu zwingen.
Das war eine Taktik, die das National Security Team und die Anti-Terror-Polizei während meiner Inhaftierung und nach meiner Freilassung unter Auflagen gegen mich angewandt haben. Es ist sehr wichtig, das anzusprechen, weil solche Kontrollen von diesen Behörden routinemäßig eingesetzt werden und sie versuchen werden, sie wo immer möglich gegen Anarchist*innen und die radikale Linke anzuwenden.
Die #Gesetzgebung schränkt den Spielraum für gewaltfreie Ausdrucksformen von Unzufriedenheit immer weiter ein, mit härteren Strafen für Störungen durch Massen oder sogar kleine Gruppen und mit polizeilichen Befugnissen zur Auflösung gewaltfreier Menschenansammlungen. #Während die Organisatoren des Climate Camps präventiv durchsucht wurden, konnten die rechtsextremen Angriffe im letzten Sommer nicht verhindert werden. Wie kommt es, dass der britische Staat mitten in einer globalen faschistischen Machtübernahme so besessen von den Krümeln des Widerstands von unten ist?
Nun, wir dürfen den kleinsten Ausdruck von #Dissens und #Rebellion niemals unterschätzen, denn sie alle haben Macht. Wenn das Regime die Funken nicht erstickt, wird es zu einem #Flächenbrand kommen. Auch wenn ich mit den Positionen des bürokratischen Teils der meisten dieser Gruppen nicht übereinstimme, freue ich mich über ihre Erfolge und wünsche mir, dass sie sich zu einer revolutionären Bewegung entwickeln. Alle wirksamen Proteste werden auf #Unterdrückung stoßen. Aus dem #Gefängnis habe ich im Fernsehen die Eskalation der Sachbeschädigungen gegen #Waffenfirmen, die mit Israel Geschäfte machen, während des andauernden Völkermords in #Gaza, die Sperrung von #Autobahnen und die Zerstörung von #Barclays-#Banken gesehen. Die radikale #Linke, #Ökologen und #Anarchisten sind im Grunde die einzige #Opposition in Großbritannien.
Seit sie am 18. Juni 1999, dem Globalen Aktionstag, von antikapitalistischen #Ausschreitungen mit Schäden in Millionenhöhe überrascht wurde, hat sich der Staat zum Ziel gesetzt, die soziale Bewegung zu manipulieren und in eine Sackgasse zu führen. Die Frage nach der Taktik und Energie innerhalb der Bewegung, nach Aktionen kleiner Gruppen und Massenprotesten, die eine echte Gefahr für die nationale Sicherheit darstellen könnten, indem sie Situationen schaffen, die außerhalb der Kontrolle aller liegen – das erfordert unsere Bereitschaft, uns zu organisieren und unsere Kämpfe zu vernetzen, das ist unsere Herausforderung. Wenn wir eine #Revolution wollen, erfordert das kontinuierliche #Subversion und #Aufstände. Dieses System ist auf #Krieg, #Mord und #Völkermord ausgerichtet, es wird nicht durch #Wahlen oder# Proteste allein gestoppt werden können. Der britische #Staat war schon immer Teil der globalen faschistischen #Machtübernahme, das #Regime bereitet sich ständig auf städtische #Unruhen, #Terrorakte, individuelle und #Massenaufstände vor. Die Genoss*innen, die oft Teil der #Untergrundgruppen sind, kommen in der Regel aus der sozialen Bewegung, und deshalb investiert der Staat viel Zeit und Energie, um herauszufinden, wer Teil dieser Bewegungen ist und in welche Richtung sie sich entwickeln.

#Banks and financial institutions profiting from #weapons
By Clare Carlile
Friday 7th of April 2023High street banks are funding some of the world’s most notorious #ArmsCompanies. We look at which banks are involved and what consumers can do. We also look at the wider financial industry and its links with #NuclearWeapons in particular.
How are banks financing the arms industry?
"Banks are behind almost every industry in the world, through their loans, insurance and other kinds of financing, including the arms industry.
"By funding arms companies, banks allow them to grow and innovate – developing new forms of #lethal weapons.
"In fact, banks are behind companies involved in the very worst forms of arms, such as nuclear weapons and #ClusterMunitions, despite the latter being banned by 120 countries.
"Unsurprisingly, arms companies are not generally picky about who they sell weapons to. This means that if a bank is funding an arms company, it may well be one that is selling to oppressive regimes.
Which banks are involved in financing arms companies?
"Unfortunately, many banks still finance arms companies.
"While some have said they will not fund the most destructive weapons, lots fall far short of refusing funding to arms companies altogether. And it is not just banks that are involved in the global arms trade. Lots of other financial institutions, such as investors, are also involved.
"Over three quarters of the brands included in our ethical current accounts guide lost half a mark under Arms & Military supply for their investments. This included all the five major high street banks: #Barclays, #HSBC, #Lloyds, #NatWest and #Santander.
"Banks such as Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander and #Citigroup, and other financial institutions such as #Aviva and #OldMutual have been named in relation to funding cluster munitions, nuclear weapons on the sale of arms to #Yemen.
What weapons are banks funding?
Banks funding cluster munitions“Cluster munitions are indiscriminate weapons that pose a serious threat to civilian populations during and long after an attack. They spread dozens, or even hundreds, of bomblets called submunitions over an area the size of a football stadium or even more. On impact cluster munitions kill or maim anyone that is in that area. Also, many submunitions fail to explode on impact: they remain on the ground like landmines that kill and injure civilians long after the conflict has ended.'
"120 countries have signed a Convention that that bans the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of #ClusterBombs.
"Yet, in 2018, the Cluster Munition Coalition found that financial institutions had invested almost $9 billion in companies producing cluster munitions. Citigroup and Old Mutual were both found to invest in companies involved.
"Amongst the banks named in the report, Triodos, Co-operative Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland were all praised for having divestment policies in place.
"However, Aviva, Axa, Deutsche Bank, Edentree Investment Management, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered were all found to have incomplete policies in place."

ICYMI - 2010: From #DemocracyNow
The Nation: Docs Reveals #Blackwater-Linked Companies Provided Intel & Security to Multinationals Like #Monsanto, #Chevron
September 16, 2010
“Blackwater’s Black Ops” — that’s the title of an explosive new article in The Nation magazine that reveals how entities closely linked with the private security firm Blackwater have provided #security and #intelligence services to a range of powerful #corporations over the past several years. The companies include #Monsanto, #Chevron, #DeutscheBank and others. Blackwater has also provided intelligence and training services to foreign governments, including #Jordan, the Canadian military and the Dutch police. We speak with investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. [includes rush transcript]
"AMY GOODMAN: “Blackwater’s Black Ops” — that’s the title of an explosive new article in The Nation magazine that reveals how entities closely linked with the private security firm Blackwater have provided security and intelligence services to a range of powerful corporations over the past several years. The companies include Monsanto, Chevron, the Walt #Disney Company, Deutsche Bank, #Barclays and #RoyalCaribbean Cruise Lines.
"Blackwater has also provided intelligence and training services to foreign governments, including the Kingdom of Jordan, the Canadian military and the Dutch police. In 2007, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto worked with Blackwater when she returned to #Pakistan to campaign for the general elections. Bhutto was assassinated in December of 2007.
"The new revelations come from documents obtained by The Nation. They show that Blackwater’s work for corporations and government agencies was contracted using two companies: #TotalIntelligenceSolutions and the #TerrorismResearchCenter. Both companies are owned by Blackwater’s owner and founder, #ErikPrince.
"Today also marks the third anniversary of the #NisourSquare massacre, when Blackwater guards gunned down seventeen #Iraqi civilians and wounded twenty in a fifteen-minute shooting spree in #Baghdad.
"For more, we’re joined now from New York by investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill. He’s a Puffin Foundation writing fellow at the Nation Institute. He’s a Democracy Now! correspondent and author of the book Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful #MercenaryArmy. His new article in online at thenation.com."
