Malta Independent | Oct 15, 2007
by NOEL GRIMA
A European Parliament working document drawn up by Giovanni Claudio Fava has claimed “Malta is the operational base of Blackwater, the organiser of private military militia which are increasingly taking on more and more roles which used to be undertaken by US forces in Iraq and elsewhere”.
American left-wing and anti-war media are in full cry about the underhand and subtle changes, which have made Blackwater the new symbol of American claimed supremacy, carried out by forces other than the regular military.
California Democratic Senator Henry Waxman has been holding a number of hearings on the spread of Blackwater but even they, the more anti-war media claims, have held back from seeing the whole wide picture.
Thus the four-hour interrogation of Blackwater director Eric Prince got lost in details, even discovering for instance a December 2006 “arrangement” negotiated by the State Department as compensation for an Iraqi policeman killed by a Blackwater employee.
But it was only Republican Darrell Issa from California who documented the intimate links between Prince and the Bush administration. On the eve of the hearings, Oliver North, the former colonel who had been condemned for exchanging arms with cocaine in the fight against communism in Nicaragua, accused Senator Waxman of a huge “witch-hunt”.
Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat from Ohio, argued that since the military functions had been privatised, it was in Blackwater’s interest to prolong the war, rather than end it.
An article on Salon.com carried the charges by Jeremy Scahill that the Christian fundamentalists behind Blackwater were the hard core in favour of the war of George Bush and Dick Cheney and their “patron”, former Secretary of State George Schultz.
Eric Prince’s parents, Edgar Prince and his wife Elsa Prince Broekhuizen, through their foundation finance the Council for National Policy, an ultra-secret society which met in Salt Lake City on 28 September to hear Dick Cheney argue the case for an attack on Iran.
Prince Senior is one of the pillars of Christian Coalition of Gary Bauer and of the Family Research Council of James Dobson.
Eric Prince, through his own foundation, the Freiheit Foundation, finances Christendom College, the Institute for World Politics, Crisis Magazine and the Prison Fellowship of Chuck Colson. Prince also finances the Legionnaires du Christ and Christian Freedom International.
When still 27 years old, Eric Prince founded Blackwater USA. He and those who soon joined him have profited from the more than $1,000 million they have taken as contracts from 2000 to 2006.
In 2004, Cofer Black passed from CIA to the State Department and thence became Blackwater’s vice-president. While still in the CIA, Black was in charge of the “special extraditions” organising the secret transfer of prisoners from Iraq or Afghanistan to countries less rigid against the practice of torture, such as Poland, Romania, Egypt, and so on.
These planes, which travelled between Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and Afghanistan often made stopovers in many European countries such as the UK, Italy, France, Germany and Malta many times without the countries themselves being informed what was going on.
Now the Swiss procurator Dick Marty has sent documents regarding the “CIA’s flying prisons” to the European Parliament and names two Blackwater subsidiaries – Presidential Airways and Aviation Worldwide Services.
The Giovanni Claudio Fava document on behalf of the European Parliament says the two companies used CASA C-212 planes, usually used to transport paratroops and big cargoes and also able to land on improvised landing spots.

Blackwater: Knights of Malta in Iraq
Blackwater is more than just a “private army”, much more than just another capitalist war-profiteering business operation. It is an army operating outside all laws, outside and above the US Constitution and yet is controlled by people within and outside our government whose allegiance is primarily to the foreign Vatican state. In other words, Blackwater is a religious army serving the Pope in Rome through the Order of Malta, which is itself considered under international law, as a sovereign entity with special diplomatic powers and privileges. Like Blackwater, the Order of Malta is “untouchable” because it is at the heart of the elite aristocracy.
The picture that proves ‘torture flights’ are STILL landing in the UK (and Malta)
The European Parliament report describes these as shell companies operating as subsidiaries of Blackwater USA, ‘an important contractor for the CIA and the US military’ which bases the planes in Malta. Tracking technology shows that the plane was en route from Canada to Greenland two days before it was sighted at Mildenhall: the internet software does not extend beyond American airspace, but the expert explained that its route would be consistent with a refuelling stop in the Arctic – it only has a range of about 2,000 miles – followed by a further refuel in East Anglia, before heading to Malta.

Their bible says we wrestle not against ordinary flesh and blood but against powers and principalities in high places… and that is what is happening. We are not fighting against ordinary people who we perceive as bad - they are just yes men and frontmen for the secret society networks that misrule our world and cover it with religion so confuse us all.

Now yer talkin. I want every American who still has some goodness and common sense left in them to wake up and say the same thing. Blackwater, or should I say the Prince Group and Aegis have only begun to get rolling so we have to keep up the pressure to back them off. Anyone reading this comment, I recommend to do a search on this blog for all the Blackwater articles and references and put the pieces together for yourselves.

Turns out Blackwater is now doing humanitarian work in southern California. Free of charge. This is not “war profiteering” or “disaster capitalism.” Though Blackwater isn’t making a big deal about it, the AP picked up the story and posted a video at http://video.ap.org/v/Legacy.aspx?partner=en-ap&g=51b4d810-7422-4a44-96f2-2b60f003b42b&t=s60&p=ENAPus_ENAPus&&f=INWAY.

Blackwater, an intelligence, security and mercenary group of hired guns and professional killers who shoot innocent people for amusement, are above the law and confiscate guns from Americans, had their “fire relief effort” all ready to roll out which is suspicious in itself since the damned fire started at Potrero. Blackwater has an ulterior motive in setting up a huge base at Potrero. Problem, Reaction, Solution. Get it? They are buying your love through manipulation of your heartstrings with mere chump change out of their vast multi-billion dollar fortune. Yes, mafias throughout the world conduct charitable works. It’s a great cover, for how can anyone indict “philanthropists”. Knights of Malta, Freemasons, Columbian Mafia, Sicilian Mafia, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, the UN, etc etc all perform charitable works even while they kill, loot, rape and pillage around the world. Hitler did it. Stalin did it. They all do it. Perfect front for them all.
Don’t be such a fool…Blackwater Knights of Malta are Nazi killers, no different than the SS. Though their allegiance is to the Vatican, they are here on American soil taking over police departments through their training programs helping to set up the New World Order system to replace our constitution with a tyranny that will be a hundred times worse than anything else in history.

Have any of you idiots been to Malta? its a tiny island with nothing there! There is no mysterious flihgts of terrorists being taken there.
some people are crazy!
Go to Malta and you will see what rubbish this all is.
pjwalker911 // February 28, 2008 at 4:25 am
Maichels, you are an imbecile. Malta has been one of the bases of the elite military Knights of Malta since 1530, Elizabeth II has strong ties to Malta, is a head of a related order and was once “Queen of Malta”. It is all high military elite fascism, the true source of it. The EU elite recognize the fact that Malta is one of Blackwater’s bases, which is logical considering their operations manager is a Knight of Malta as are 90% of the CIA directors. Blackwater is staffed by “former” CIA and Pentagon goons. The CIA/Blackwater “extraordinary renditions” ie, torture-flights, land at Malta. And FYI, it has nothing to do with stopping terrorism. They are the terrorists.
So shove it dumbass. I am sick of you ridiculous lamebrains and nutcases, making wild unfounded accusations. Take it somewhere else where you can praise your fascist elite friends at Blackwater. I am sure they have a fan site somewhere. Try that.

pjwalker911 obviously you are on the bottom of the food chain
who cares if they are running the world. Some one has to. thank god its not you or the muso’s or we we have no cars, tv, internet or freedom
knights of malta is catholic you idiot. The Queen of England is not you spastic
pjwalker911 // April 8, 2008 at 1:45 am
That “someone” who SHOULD be running things is the People, not the power-mad psychopathic elite you little creep.
They are literally a predatory class who live at the top of an artificial food chain because they like to feed on the ordinary good-hearted and naive people of this world.
You are completely stupid and corrupt you know that? Of course you don’t! You think your the greatest thing since sliced bread don’t you?
It almost boggles the mind, but I have been listening to your pathetic pathological drivel from you mutants so long it just doesn’t phase me anymore. In fact, I find your kind amusing.
Just to correct you on one thing, SMOM and the other orders such as Knights of St John etc are connected through the “royal bloodlines”. Bertie was a direct relative to the Queen and they got along just fine as do all of them because they are all working toward the same New World Order agenda, butthead. Whether it is Protestant or Catholic, the churches are controlled at the top by these elite Rosicrucian masonic orders and frankly always have. You don’t know anything about the real history of religion or you would have kept your mouth shut, something a mutant is incapable of because all mutants are programmed to obey their masters like good little psychopathic robotic slaves.
You are right on one thing. I am on the bottom of the food chain, slogging along in the trenches like most people, trying to make a decent living. I neither want to hurt anyone, nor do I want to be hurt. But when creeps like you come along defending the criminal elite illuminist aristocracy, and abuse me for telling the truth about them, then the gloves are off.
