I can't think of two better people than Erik Prince and Olly North to lead this endeavor.
-
Only a matter of time before Trump uses this to punish his American citizen political enemies. He wants to be a dictator so badly.
-
Maybe if Trump wasn’t such a dumbass weirdo more people would like him and not want him out of the WH.
-
Was going to post that, hooray.
Can't wait til we rationalize this.
-
Previous administration had unprecedented use of private contractors aka mercenaries in military operations (things that libs didn't know and don't care about. . . unless a Republican is president)
Where were you guys?

What about Obama tho?

That's all you ever have. You're not capable of even understanding the issue or precedence.
Sorry your guy outsourced all the killing TBT.

Dax, this would be authorized domestic surveillance by a private company. Nothing would be able to stop them from turning around and selling their intelligence to foreign states. So, of course, Trump is stupid enough to authorize this.

Private military contractors don't collect intelligence, aren't privy ito intelligence, aren't made aware of military secrets? It would be nearly impossible for them to function if they weren't given copious amounts of sensitive information, and of course they're out there fighting for a pay . . . our country, so they have first hand information and loads of sensitive information straight from the battlefield, and back at the bases.

Really big difference between soldiers and spies, dax. And lol at you if you think private military contractors get top-brass level intel. My brother (AF major) has worked alongside military contractors in the field and they are kept in a pretty tight box as far as that is concerned.

Many of these guys are hired from companies that are laden with former military intelligence guys. Out-in-the-field is not the same as being briefed to go fight the bad guys. Our spy agencies hire contractors, put them in the field and they are in many cases asked to protect operations, like recruiting "freedom fighters" and shipping captured weapons from certain African countries to other hot spots, for example. The military-intelligence complex is full of contractors privy to all matter of information. Come on man.

Sure. But none of it is above confidential level classification, and it's pretty worthless to other nations because most of it is transient intel. Unlike domestic intel.

From really bad to really worse.

Come on man, intelligence entities outsource all kinds of things on a domestic level. You act like the foreign entities are dumb, they, just like us can put together the bread crumbs of low level security items into a whole.

Dax, no one is shocked that you're OK with your guy trump assembling a secret police system that answers only to him. We can call it something snappy like the "protection squad" or something

LOL, I never said I was "okay" with it lib.
I'm just once again asking where were you guys for 8 years??
You absolutely melted down over Blackwater and then your hero outsourced war and all matter of thing similar on an unprecedented scale.
My Flying Spaghetti Monster, you guys are just a giant ball of un-intelligent hypocrisy. Sad

dax, spies hired to spy on american citizens that don't like your politics are not comparable even in crazyland to private army men. that whatabout'ism is looked down upon by even the most extreme whatabout'ist enthusiasts.

SD, outsourcing of spying has been going on for years. The black budget and all that goes with it is called the black budget because nobody really knows what's in it and what they're up to.
You should have been melting down years ago. So I'll call out the partisanship. Have a great day, tho.
Oh, and please, you can make a clear case that most of this board's hero was clearly spying on people for political purposes. When you sign executive orders to allow "intelligence" to get into the hands of people who are more politicians than national security people, you're basically green lighting political spying and just using the in-house gang to do it.

You don't get to either say nothing or fully support the very same thing that you're having a meltdown over because you're a hyperpartisan. I mean you can, but don't start tossing out strawmen like whataboutism and false equivalency when you're called out on it.
An executive order to put intelligence in the hands of people who have no business being engaged in order to embolden domestic political spying stands on its own.

If you see the exact same thing when you compare Trump and Obama regardless, you are extremely confused and we have nothing to discuss.

I said it was not the exact same thing. One just openly signed up our intelligence agencies to do domestic political spying and ensured that information got into the hands of politicos to be used for political purposes. 3 Dem Pres heroes have used intelligence agencies to spy domestically, and of course the NSA was created by a Dem. Now, if you want to believe those agencies didn't outsource some of that work, knock yourself out.
-
I can’t wait until Trump is out of the WH and drones like Dax, FSD, and KSUW can go back to counter-pointing whether we should expand Obamacare or still have troops in the Middle East instead of whether the US President should have a Gestapo.

Some people express concern that Trump has the power to launch a nuclear attack. Are they outrageous hypocrites because they did not do the same when Obama was president?
-
So some people think this is the same as hiring Blackwater to guard civilian contractors in a war zone? Is that right?

I prefer "my president" to spy on its citizens using consultants and abusing the FISA court system.

I just perused the initial article, and nowhere does it say the WH has even heard of this let alone is considering it. But it makes for adequate libtard fan fiction so here we are.

Agreed, it's too insanely F'd up to think real.

I dig that pointing out that obama actually did what some article said trump could possibly think about doimg even though be says he isn't is "whataboutism"
:lol:
Is calling something whataboutism akin to starting a joke with, " I'm not racist, but . . ."

It is real. Obama did it, hillary did it, just none of the libtards cared when they did it bc #teamlibtard #nevertrump.

I'm still pissed that they hired private domestic spies to support their agenda and counter the CIA

Hillary was never president bud, I know it’s hard for you to believe, but she was never president.

So are you for or against it? Would like to see your thoughts before and after the WH weighs in publicly.

A denial from Trump's White House is most certainly always a rock solid defense.

needs to wait and see what DJT decides

I like how dax "conveniently" leaves out the fact that domestic surveillance capabilities were most significantly expanded under the Patriot Act (GW Bush).
Also, dax shows his utter naivety by not realizing that private military contractors have no reason to leave their people embedded. Once the job is done, hired guns get extracted because their value lies in the ability to turn over missions. If a private company has embedded intelligence officers in our government, there's never reason to pull them. Ever. They lose all value once they've been extracted. That's a very dangerous situation. We already have foreign agents galore trying to infiltrate our government, why would we invite a private company to do the same?

Is "it" double or triple conjecture? It's hard to keep up with what thing that could happen that we're supposed to bleed out of our assholes out about.

This is true. CIA spies don’t have the legal jurisdiction to target American citizens.
