Blackwater to evict the foreclosed

Blackwater Contracted to Evict People in Foreclosed Homes

CHICAGO (AP) – Sources have just confirmed that mortgage loan companies are contracting with Blackwater Worldwide to assist in the eviction of people still living in foreclosed homes. Though Blackwater Worldwide has not yet confirmed this, we have several reports of Blackwater contractors stealthily lurking through Chicago in full military fatigues with camouflaged furniture dollies and armored moving vans.

.....

In recent news, Cook County sheriff Dart has refused to evict renters whose landlords have quit paying the mortgage. He was quoted as saying that eviction can be part of his job but, “What isn't part of our job, however, is to carry out work on behalf of the multi-billion-dollar banks and mortgage industries.” It seems that the multi-billion-dollar banks and mortgage industries can’t wait for Sheriff Dart’s morals to be changed so they have taken the evictions into their own hands.

3. If this is true....
OMG...this is just so sad. So awful.

I cannot even imagine what that would feel like. My heart completely breaks
for anyone who would go through the hell of losing their home--only to have
a Fascist Blackwater thug show up and throw you out.

It could happen to ANY ONE of us.

No one will be insulated in the coming economy. No one.

:sad:

4. I wonder how many times this will get posted
and what kind of level of hysteria DU will reach over something so obviously fake.

7. Why do you think this is "fake"?
The source is the Associated Press.

I'm curious why you think this is untrue?

12. Ok, I just read the full article....
Yes, it's obviously a joke.

I guess those of us who trust what is written in an OP will just have to click
on the links, from now on.

I have always trusted what is written in the OP--and what is written in the
OP header.

I guess it's imperative to read every word now--or else you risk a stadium
full of eye rollers who are quick to pounce.

Jesus...yourself.

5. Ohhhh these bastards SO want a privatized police state
Yet another reason to get Obama into office--drive these fuckers so far underground they'll have to eat slugs for the next few decades. And don't let the evil regroup for another run at controlling the country. NO MORE.

6. READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE PEOPLE
“Many people think our only job is to kill and torture. This isn’t so. We undergo weeks of training in the art of wrapping valuables and box labeling. Just last week, we blew up a townhouse, moved it to a ¾ acre lot with a view of the lake and pieced it back together. That's customer service.

13. A few downright fabrications at the top of the blog *hint* look around for the supposed AP article
The first photo with the guys in gear? The sign behind them is photoshopped.

16. This is obviously fake stuff, but possible in theory. The question in general
is - will Cheney leave? Is Cheney and his profiteers going to just quit?

We know that many things that have happened in these last eight years were planned for a long time/ The end goals were there - control of the oil and gas areas of the world as well as other earth resources. Privatization. The making of a third world economy in the U.S.. The how wasn't worked out exactly. That was all for the Pentagon and the think tanks to work out. Including getting all the players in place - from the Supreme Court to a Rev Dobson to a Rush Limbaugh to a front man - George Bush to the takeover of the networks, papers, and magazines on a large scale basis. It involved the cooperatons of leaders everywhere they could find them.

Though the article is fake, the potential for it to be real is no.
