| PRIVITIZATION OF WAR MUST STOP NOW |
Whether we like it or not, the assertion that modern warfare has become a corporate profiteering business is by no means a conspiracy. It’s a fact. The USA’s self-styled role as the world’s bad cop (not to mention the States being the seat of global corporatocracy) means that the privatization of war has become a natural next step for the White House (and of course its allies; Britain is another known culprit).
Private Military and Security Companies (known as PMSCs) are contracted by corrupt leaders and they are making big bucks by profiting from war and insecurity around the world. These companies are complicit in human rights abuses, putting profit before people and fanning the flames of war. Who-is-fighting-who is largely irrelevant; all that matters is that arms are being sold and money is being made.
It’s quite possible that even if the USA and Britain didn’t intend to help the growth of the Islamic State. The private companies who do their dirty work in the Middle East may have a hell of a lot to answer for with regard to hiring mercenaries.
The problem is, we’ll never know for certain because these corporations are unaccountable, unregulated, and very secretive.
Unlike Governments, who are ultimately responsible for the atrocities and war crimes they commit, private companies cannot be legally tried for their actions.
