"The Trump administration is preparing to use private military contractors to protect oil and energy assets in Venezuela rather than deploying US troops, according to two sources familiar with the plans, setting up a potential boon for security firms with experience in the region and ties to the administration.
While President Trump hasn’t ruled out a possible US military presence in Venezuela, sources close to the president say he’s wary of putting American boots on the ground for an extended period of time. That raises a potential problem for the White House following the US capture of Venezuela’s former President Nicolás Maduro.
As it lobbies major oil companies to reinvest in Venezuela’s ailing oil industry, the administration must convince them it can provide the kind of security they will need to operate safely there — not just for months but years."

"The shooting may have stopped for now — but the armed U.S. military veterans who once patrolled aid distribution sites in Gaza say they are ready and willing to return to work.
Amid ongoing uncertainty about the future of a controversial, Israel-approved aid distribution scheme, on Monday one of its lead contractors said it will keep working in the region.
The statement from UG Solutions hints at a continued presence for U.S. private military contractors in Gaza, despite pushback from Palestinian political parties and the international aid community.
The firm’s employees, many of them U.S. special forces veterans, have provided security at four aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation since May. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed along the routes to the foundation’s aid sites under Israel Defense Forces gunfire, according to the United Nations."

LoL. Private #militarycontractors won’t do shit to deter Russia from attacking #Ukraine again! They are logistics & construction workers with armed guards, not “boots on the ground”. Putin will target these the moment he gets a chance, to show #Trump is his bitch again.
Sure, good to have if you have the money.(Because they’re EXPENSIVE AF!)
(I’d rather have European construction companies guarded by our boys & girls than 100x overcharging bozos from overseas) -
A group of private #MilitaryContractors have pitched an army of private citizens to arrest #immigrants & camps to detain them [#ConcentrationCamps]….
The group, which includes fmr #Blackwater founder #ErikPrince & fmr #military & law enforcement ofcls, submitted a 26-pg blueprint to #Trump advisers before his inauguration, estimating a $25B price tag to support Trump’s “#MassDeportation operation” to swiftly remove 12M people from the US by 2026.

US military contractor CACI to face retrial over allegations of torture at #Iraq prison
Tyler Li | U. Ottawa Faculty of Law, CA
June 15, 2024"The case against #CACI is one of many legal actions against private military contractors accused of detainee abuse, including those against #TitanCorporation (later known as L-3 Services) and CACI for their roles in alleged abuse at #AbuGhraib, as well as against #Blackwater for incidents like the #NisourSquare massacre in #Baghdad. Many of these cases faced similar legal challenges, specifically dismissals based on national security concerns and the complexities of applying US law to actions taken in war zones."

#Iraqis Tortured at #AbuGhraib Win $42 Million Judgment Against U.S. Military Contractor #CACI
#DemocracyNow
November 14, 2024"A federal jury in Virginia has ordered the U.S. military contractor CACI Premier Technology to pay a total of $42 million to three Iraqi men who were tortured at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. The landmark verdict comes after 16 years of litigation and marks the first time a civilian contractor has been found legally responsible for the gruesome abuses at Abu Ghraib. We discuss the case and its significance for #HumanRights with Baher Azmy, the legal director for the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represented the Abu Ghraib survivors. 'This lawsuit has been about justice and accountability for three Iraqi men — our clients, Salah, Suhail and Asa’ad — who exhibited just awe-inspiring courage and resilience,' he says."

"Aid to #Israel is now almost exclusively #military assistance that can be used only to buy #American weaponry.
In reality, it’s not so much aid to Israel as it is a backdoor subsidy to American #MilitaryContractors "
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/22/opinion/israel-military-aid.html[That explains the $3.8 Billion annually. It's a massive #grift benefitting the (already bloated with tax payer money) #MilitaryIndustrialComplex. ]

The goal is to produce as many #refugees as possible, and extract natural resources.
The people who talk like the #USA "failed in <INSERT_COUNTRY>" either don't realise the basic bezzle. The #militaryContractors and #weaponsIndustry and the rest of the securocrats are huge winners.
Julian Assange is quoted as saying these wars are less for winning and more about "#moneyLaundering".
They are also #humanTrafficking ops — often by giving #extremists weapons and assistance.

#DebtCeiling #DefenseBudget #MilitaryContractors
From Popular Information.
In 2015, the United States spent $585 billion on its military. The United States has added more than $300 billion in military spending in less than a decade. (Had military spending kept pace with inflation, military spending would still be less than $700 billion annually.) Biden has added nearly $150 billion to the military budget since 2021, the last budget approved by President Trump. The budget of the Pentagon now exceeds "the budgets for the next ten largest cabinet agencies combined." In 2020, Lockheed Martin received $75 billion in government contracts, more than 1.5 times the budget of the entire State Department.

Also noteworthy re #COVID, it has strained #relationships heavily. A similar outbreak of disease happened prior to 1930s.The automated and targetted ways in which memes and propaganda can be given via closed #socialMedia is new to today. Also new, our internet is become Man-in-the-Middled by the corporate state (actual #militaryContractors mostly, if not all). A handful of fascist entities control and see 95-99% of internet traffic today.

Hi Jeff,It looks like they are just bringing everything under #dotCon control via #moneyPrinting and buying up everything that moves.
Also they don't need a killswitch when most of #theInternet is controlled by Cloudflare and other #militaryContractors like Amazon and Microsoft etc, all they need to do is use the access they have and blame it on China.
Are you able to provide sources on your above though.

Yay
More of what appear to be convenient #falseFlag attacks to #extendAndPretend in #Afghanistan.
It seems the #USA know how to deal with #airports (as they currently exist), but only when they belong to countries that they are one day away from evacuting from after 20 years of getting trilllions in #freeMoney to do what is effectively nothing but commit #warCrimes and line pockets of #militaryContractors.

The fight for #liberation from the #corporateState can be lonely, many people who are not fighting this battle are so caught up in their own bubbles that they cannot fathom that things must be done.
Some people are of course directly benefitting from the corrupt system, like #militaryContractors. Then there are those people who just don't ask questions, the #UsefulIdiots.
Both are toxic for #liberators.
There's only one thing worse than being lonely, and that is having #badCompany.
