MERCENARIES OF DEATH
The author of this article operates a website called jamesstrauss.com, and that website deals mostly with his successful novels, most of which are dedicated to war and the effects of war upon those participating and then coming back to where they came from, which I will purposely refrain from calling home. One of the men writing comments to the continuing chapters of The Cowardly Lion series of novels, which are published as the chapters are written and put up on the site for free (many of the veterans reading do not have much money), is named Colonel James Homan, USMC. He served in war as a Marine Officer and then as a mercenary attached to private companies and the U.S. Department of State. He did that service for several years and through three wars, after his wartime military service.
Here is a comment he wrote last week with respect to those he served with while in the countries in conflict: “Weird chapter; it brought to mind all sorts of impressions or recollections. Languages, Spanish from a trip across Spain to Portugal, and comparison with Brazil; multiplicities of dialects define some cultural similarities, but not really the ability to communicate! Also, comparing our current Nazi invasion from ICE to our own experience at Kent State, where do these “federal agents” come from? They appear very committed and positive about their mission; not FNGs! What occurs to me is that we were worried about the aftermath in Iraq of the aftereffects of all the high-paid and trained local private security contractors when we left. Where would they find comparable employment? But then I remembered all the unemployed Blackwater-style cowboys that we created and then left unemployed! A whole raft of semi-trained and violence-dedicated mercenaries readily available for both money and citizenry in the USA.”
The answer to the question not asked is the beginning of an unresearched explanation about why the ICE agents are so very different from National Guardsmen, Marines, Army members, and police personnel of all kinds and places.
The ICE agents have killed unarmed citizens, terrorized citizens, those awaiting asylum investigations and decisions, and immigrants without proper documentation, and they’ve done it irrespective of their criminal backgrounds. Aside from the addition of rendition-style deportations to countries where the intake is one of no language they speak, no medical assistance and little else the conduct of the ICE agents is reprehensible compared to the other enforcement agencies and the differences are so stark that nobody has been able to understand why the ICE personnel are very similar to the Gestapo or the Nazis behavior leading up and then during World War II.
Colonel Homan has hit upon something. The Department of Homeland Security under Noem, the confessed puppy and goat killer, can issue citizenship, green cards, and more to whomever they feel like issuing to and then remain totally silent about the issuance. The only good news may be, in bringing all these former mercenaries to the United States to serve in Homeland Security as ICE agents, is that the USA finally makes good on its promise not to forget those who worked in support of the U.S. during several wars and then some. Colonel Homan was a technical radio technician for Motorola over there, supplying all the U.S. military with radio equipment, while I was CIA, charged with investigating the communications capability of the enemy forces and finding any evidence of weapons of mass destruction, which was a really big deal at the time.
Both Homan and I saw horrid abuse and murder while we were in those countries, and it was almost all committed willingly and many times very enthusiastically by out-of-control mercenary forces. Those men doing the murder, torture, and worse of civilians were unchecked in the time we were there, so the only thing we could do was stay the hell away from them. Note the names of the ICE agents who killed Ms. Good. They were foreign, all seven of them. These ICE mercenaries are also using another tactic that became standard in the wartorn countries. They would follow any protestors home to record where they lived, who lived with them, and then return at a more opportune time to either terrorize them or outright murder them.
The U.S. military and the U.S. State Department did nothing to stop this kind of slaughter and, in not doing anything about it, spawned the creation of human monsters who came to enjoy this kind of awful violation of every human right, mental and physical. The current leadership of the USA is bringing these people over, and the Department of State is charged with the transportation, and then the DHS with their legalization and smattering of training. The planes coming back from deportations are not empty!
No national news organizations are mentioning any of this, yet they must have the budgets and reporters to know about it. No national news organization is going to ask to pick the story up from the GSR either. Possibly the greatest damage to the USA these days, as far as the low-life ICE agent rolling debacle, is that the national news is so sold out that nothing will be done about this beyond reprehensible conduct. There’s a tradition. Nothing was done about it over there either. The helicopters that strafed and killed those men walking across a plaza in Afghanistan were machined gunned by American rotary gunships. Those men on video and audio loved what they were doing, and then, when civilians came to help the wounded, those civilians were enthusiastically gunned down, too.
Bradley Manning revealed this information and published the audio and video of the awful event. The identities of the chopper pilots, crew, and machine gunners were never revealed. Manning went to prison. Be careful out here, as hell may well be coming to breakfast in your neighborhood. This article should help you understand better why the ICE agents you see committing violent crimes are acting that way. They are not ‘normal’ American boys and girls or men and women.
