BLACKWATER: Contracted to Evict People in Foreclosed Homes
US: Blackwater Contracted to Evict People in Foreclosed Homes
Posted: 2008/10/14
From: Source


Blackwater Worldwide, better known for contracting with the US State Department for ``protection`` work in Iraq, is moving forward with the company`s newest initiative, Operation Deadbeat.


Holy Juan (AP)

CHICAGO – 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.

Blackwater Worldwide, better known for contracting with the US State Department for "protection" work in Iraq, is moving forward with the company's newest initiative, Operation Deadbeat. Just recently, it has been confirmed that model homes are being constructed at Blackwater training sites for what is presumed to be tactical planning purposes.

Joan Readford of Easthampton was removed from her home this morning. "The men ran up to my door in formation. After serving the papers, they staged an attack of the first floor, packaging up my breakables and putting my appliances in a separate interrogation area. The house was packed up in about thirty minutes. Those assholes were very efficient and swept the floor right before they jumped into the armored moving van."

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.

An unnamed Blackwater source has shared with us that he and several other Blackwater employees have undergone intensive moving training. "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."

5. Maybe this one was a satire, but BlacKKKwater is being used domestically

6. True...but you remember what I saw a couple months ago...
...coming home that one day, snapped out of my train-riding reverie by the sight of a big semitrailer rolling down the Ike with Blackwater logo - and advertising! - on its side. And all the other trucks on the road weren't hauling food or merchandise, but office file storage. I know, I know. But it spooked me.

Still, this piece is pretty clumsy. Ain't no Easthampton round here. Ain't no available lots for some puny townhouse with a view of the lake either, unless someone builds a mountain in Wicker Park. :P

2. Time to start shooting those bastards.
No, violence ain't my preferred solution. But when BlacKKKwater enters the equation, there is no good outcome, and it's better them than us.

9. Had me going until
the part about packing up her breakables. Somehow I don't think BW thugs would care much about breakables.
