  1. What happened to the cop who murdered Carlo Giuliani?

    These are his words about his life today, from

    agi.it/cronaca/news/2021-07-19

    Even if you are prepared to murder for the ruling class, they will use you to protect their privileges, then throw you away. They're using you to kill because they don't value life—yours or anyone's.

    We can't pity this man who chose to murder a young man like himself for the benefit of his bosses. He is responsible for killing Carlo Giuliani for a paycheck, much as he might pretend to be a victim. He is still telling the story with himself at the center, creating a false equivalency between himself and the one he killed.

    But everyone should know that there is nothing to be gained from being a mercenary.

  12. What are the Minutemen in Fallout 4 to you?

    To me the Minutemen are "citizen soldiers" the Minutemen Mercenary Company, why else were the Gunners so dedicated to attack them?
    They were an opposing mercenary group, gaining more and more fame, while the Gunners were seen as Raiders, despite eating caravans.
    And if you didn't complete the quest Taking Independence, who comes to the aid of T.S. Wallace during the quest Pinned?

  17. #Blackwater Successor Hunts #Immigrants for #ICE

    #ConstellisHoldings, which traces its roots to #ErikPrince’s #mercenary firm Blackwater, landed an ICE contract as a #BountyHunter.

    by Sam Biddle
    January 3 2026

    Excerpt: "#Constellis was formed in 2014 through the merger of #Academi, previously known as Blackwater, and #TripleCanopy, a rival mercenary contractor. The combined companies and their subsidiaries have reaped billions from contracts for guarding foreign military installations, embassies, and domestic properties, along with work for the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and U.S. spy agencies.

    "Blackwater, founded in 1997 by Erik Prince, renamed itself multiple times over the years after it sparked international scandal for its violent work in #Iraq. In 2007, Blackwater #mercenaries massacred 14 #civilians in #Baghdad; several of its contractors serving prison sentences for the killings were pardoned by President Donald #Trump in 2020.

    "Prince resigned as CEO of Blackwater in 2009, and Constellis says it has no relationship with him.

    "Though there are no ties between them, Constellis’s move to serve as a bounty hunter for ICE aligns with Prince’s reported interest in privatizing immigration enforcement.

    "The government has so far paid Constellis $1.5 million, with the potential for the total to grow to more than $113 million.

    "In February, Politico reported that Prince — a longtime and steadfast Trump ally — was among a group of military contractors who urged the federal government to employ a '#SkipTracingTeam' and 'bounty program which provides a cash reward' to incentivize the rapid tracking of immigrants. The proposal suggested that, due to a lack of federal manpower, ICE should deputize private citizens to help track down immigrants."

    Mike Hoare is often remembered as a “gentleman #mercenary”. That reputation says far more about Western #ColdWar myth-making than about the damage #mercenaries inflicted on post-colonial #Africa. 🧵

  29. Mercenary

    That guy may have quite a fancy spaceship, but his security was a laugh and more of a nuisance than a problem. Those testosterone-filled augments tend to underestimate her, an error you only make once. The target was posing as a honored member of the senate, but in truth trafficking humans and aliens of any gender, selling highly addictive synth-drugs and military-grade energy weapons to the highest bidder through his clandestine organisation. That would end today. It's her job. She's good at it.

  31. The Guard Of The Guild

    Character (toyhou.se/22118954.bethany-bel) © @CentaurWorks

    Bethany's job is simple but not often taken, that of a traveling guard for members of the Mercenaries' Guild. She often travels from outpost to outpost/inn. In exchange for food, bed and board, she focuses on protecting any place Guild-post. Often Extra Muscles that can be greatly appreciated. Essentially grunt work that goes overlooked but beyond appreciated by the people around her.

    Inspired by MiraiHikariArt's art piece of Kisara from Tales of Arise, I wanted to have a piece where it showcased Bethany guarding one of the Guilds' locations. Getting the pose and the angle was the key thing in my mind, and trying to render the cake was something I was worried about. However, while everything else was improvised, I'm immensely proud of the cameos of Gwynfor and Haera, both my own characters. How they were done were a simple painted format, going over the sketch, using one type of brush. The result is honestly enthusiastically inspiring and makes me want to try again in a bigger image. The background being Autumn was due to a combination of the season at the time of creation, as well as wanting to match with the sunrise as well as Bethany's orange hair.
