US mercenaries are controlling the repression of pro-Russian
protesters in Ukraine’s east by the fascist groups of the NATO puppet
regime in Kiev, according to reports emerging from German media. These
individuals have been employed on by the group better known in the past
as Blackwater, a large private military contracting company established
by ex-US Navy SEAL Erik Prince.
US Blackwater Mercenary Units Behind Kiev Regime’s Outburst in Ukraine
However, it is no longer called Blackwater and was renamed
Xe in 2009 with a later name change to Academi in 2011. It has changed
its name to most likely avoid the negative association attached to its
old name, since massacres of civilians in US-occupied Iraq took place
under the name Blackwater.
Presently, individuals who are part of this organization
are directing the attacks by the fascist Right Sector militia, the Kiev
regime’s National Guard, and loads of hooligans have led to casualty
numbers in the hundreds throughout eastern Ukraine, according to an
article on wsws.org.
The office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and many
other top German officials were sent this sensitive information on April
29. Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) claimed that 400
Blackwater troops are assisting Kiev’s security troops in Ukraine’s
east, which also includes Slavyansk.
As stated on wsws.org, Der Spiegel wrote, “This information
reportedly comes from US intelligence services and was communicated
during a so-called Intelligence Situation meeting, a regular discussion
chaired by Chancellery Chief of Staff Peter Altmaier (CDU). The
Presidents of the intelligence services and of the Federal Criminal
Office and the intelligence coordinator of the Chancellery as well as
high-ranking government officials attended the meeting.”
However, the BND did not disclose who hired the
mercenaries, employed by Blackwater now battling it out in Ukraine, but
it is believed that they are working very closely with US intelligence.
Prince personally said in 2013 that after the US invaded Iraq, his
company “became a virtual extension of the CIA.”
Reports from the German government give confirmation to the
Russian Foreign Ministry’s allegations a month ago that hundreds of
mercenary fighters from Greystone, conveniently a subsidiary of Academi,
were directing Right Sector combatants and other pro-Kiev units in
Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Ministry warned that the mere existence
and the activities that US mercenaries execute “threaten to trigger
civil war.” It then alleged that English-speaking fighters were caught
coordinating the fascist individuals along with the hooligans who
executed the May 2 massacre of dozens of anti-Kiev regime protesters who
were present in Odessa.
For the most part, US news media has blocked the German and
Russian reports of Blackwater’s dealings in Ukraine. As part of a news
releases on the firm’s website, Academi gave its best attempt at
dismissing the latest reports coming out from German government sources
as mere “rumors” issued out by ” some irresponsible bloggers and online
reporters.”
“Such unfounded statements combined with the lack of
factual reporting to support them and the lack of context about the
company are nothing more than sensationalistic efforts to create
hysteria and headlines in times of genuine crisis,” the firm stated,
wsws.org reported in an article.
Academi also felt the need to highlight that it “has no
relationship with any entity named Blackwater or with the former owner
of Blackwater, Erik Prince.” It then added, “Erik Prince sold the
company (which he had renamed ‘Xe’) in 2010 and retained the rights to
the Blackwater name.”
In accordance with Academi’s role in US media, which did
not care to even report on the company’s denial of the reports issued
out by German officials, is seen as living proof that Academi is an
active player in Ukraine. Though, it looks very cowardly of the US to
not even acknowledge such reports in its mainstream media.
