Oh great. Two of the most wickedly awful corporations have joined forces.
A report by Jeremy Scahill in The Nation revealed that the largest mercenary army in the world, Blackwater (now called Xe Services) clandestine intelligence services was sold to the multinational Monsanto. Blackwater was renamed in 2009 after becoming famous in the world with numerous reports of abuses in Iraq, including massacres of civilians. It remains the largest private contractor of the U.S. Department of State “security services,” that practices state terrorism by giving the government the opportunity to deny it.
So Blackwater and Monsanto, eh? Nice. This way, instead of subcontracting its thuggery to McDowell & Associates, Monsanto has an internal goon squad to intimidate and harass farmers. Convenient.
