As documented by author Suzanne Simons in her 2009 book Master of War: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> USA’s Erik Prince and the Business of War, Prince grew up in a religious household and attended Christian schools; the Princes were members of the Reformed Church in America, a conservative Christian sect that follows the philosophical template of theologian John Calvin.</p><p>"Edgar Prince worked as a die caster and then chief engineer for the die cast machine manufacturing outfit Buss Machine Works after serving in the US Air Force. In 1965 he and two co-workers struck out on their own to establish Prince Manufacturing. By the 1970s the company expanded its operations and became financially successful, as did the Prince family. Edgar Prince died of heart failure in 1995, and the company was sold to Johnson Controls for over $1 billion.</p><p>"Surrounded by those who share their belief in Christian-based politics, the Prince family has used its fortune to help build the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConservativeChristian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConservativeChristian</span></a> movement. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and Richard Nixon’s disgraced former special counsel Charles Colson (who became a born-again Christian after serving seven months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal) were family friends. Edgar and Elsa Prince were major contributors to the Family Research Council and founded the nonprofit Edgar and Elsa Prince Foundation in 1979, substantial funds from which have gone toward the effort to abolish the legal wall separating church and state. The Prince family also has deep ties to the Council for National Policy (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CNP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CNP</span></a>) which, according to its vision statement, supports “a united conservative movement to assure, by 2020, policy leadership and governance that restores religious and economic freedom, a strong national defense, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JudeoChristian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JudeoChristian</span></a> values under the Constitution.”</p><p>"From Reverend <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BillyGraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BillyGraham</span></a>’s “spiritual counsel” to twelve US presidents, to Reverend <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JerryFalwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JerryFalwell</span></a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MoralMajority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoralMajority</span></a> movement of the 1970s and ’80s, to Marion Gordon <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatRobertson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PatRobertson</span></a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianCoalition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianCoalition</span></a> (now the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianCoalitionOfAmerica</span></a>), the movement to push a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fundamentalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fundamentalist</span></a> “Judeo-Christian” agenda into the public sphere has been an ongoing crusade. Keeping with family tradition, Erik Prince’s sister Betsy married fellow Christian right figure Dick DeVos, whose father is the founder of Amway and the past president of the CNP from 1990-1993. Betsy DeVos served as the chair of the Michigan Republican Party and now serves as US Secretary of Education under Donald Trump. The DeVos dynasty, labelled a “family of extremists” by the Center for American Progress, is undoubtedly having an influence on the Trump White House."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://thehumanist.com/magazine/july-august-2018/features/theocratic-mercenary-erik-prince-christian-right" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thehumanist.com/magazine/july-</span><span class="invisible">august-2018/features/theocratic-mercenary-erik-prince-christian-right</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mercenaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mercenaries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGADeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGADeathCult</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightWing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightWing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViolentExtremists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ViolentExtremists</span></a></p>

We expect more from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthDakota</span></a> judges and members of the jury from our neighboring communities.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a>’s claims in this case were ridiculous. They were wholly disrespectful of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockSioux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRockSioux</span></a> Tribe, our ancestors, and our youth, who started the movement in 2016 to protect our water from an oil spill from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DAPL</span></a>. Neither Greenpeace nor anyone else paid or persuaded Standing Rock to oppose DAPL. </p><p>"Our young people and our elders urged us to protect our water and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnciMakah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnciMakah</span></a> (grandmother earth). That is what happened, and is happening still. Energy Transfer’s false and self-serving narrative that Greenpeace manipulated Standing Rock into protesting DAPL is patronizing and disrespectful to our people.</p><p>"We understand that many Morton County residents support the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OilIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OilIndustry</span></a>, even out-of-state <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pipeline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pipeline</span></a> companies such as Energy Transfer. But we are your neighbors, and you should not be fooled that easily. Energy Transfer does not know us. They don’t know who we are – an Indigenous Nation that has survived every attack because our ancestors are with us. </p><p>"Greenpeace did not manipulate Standing Rock, but <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a> has manipulated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MortonCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MortonCounty</span></a>.

The land between the Heart and Missouri River are our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unceded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unceded</span></a> Treaty lands under the 1868 and 1851 Fort Laramie Treaties. Our aboriginally-occupied territories extend east to the James River and beyond. That is a historical truth. If Greenpeace can be held liable for telling the truth about Sioux Nation Treaty rights, then we are all in trouble.</p><p>"The construction of Fort Rice on our northern boundary in 1864 was a violation of the Fort Laramie Treaties. This required our Tribe to be vigilant. No one should be surprised that warrior society burials are found in this area, near the pipeline route.</p><p>"And do not insult our cultural experts, who have wisdom over matters most residents of Morton County or bureaucrats at the State Historical Society know absolutely nothing about. Energy Transfer and its lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. Everyday North Dakotans on the jury should know better.</p><p>"When it comes to the excessive police and private security response to the generally peaceful protests at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CannonBall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CannonBall</span></a>, believe your eyes. The scenes of guard dogs menacing Tribal members are reminiscent of the violence of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WhiteSupremacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacists</span></a> in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeepSouth</span></a> during the 1950’s and 60’s, but it was in North Dakota, in this day and age. It was on the news and on the internet.</p><p>"Many of the protesters were Native American veterans of the United States armed forces. Energy Transfer used attack dogs against peaceful protesters and war heroes. But the jury sided with the out-of-state, unlicensed security with the attack dogs, instead of North Dakota veterans who supported Standing Rock.</p><p>"A Texas oil company has come to North Dakota, and its lawyers and propaganda machine are weaving stories about how the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and our supporters have lied, and how the poor pipeline company, a trillion dollars richer than in 2016 when this all started, should receive extra millions from non-profit organizations. It’s a funny thing about liars – they always accuse everyone else of lying. The Greenpeace trial was marked by secrecy.</p><p>"The court is not making the transcript public. The documents obtained by Greenpeace about Energy Transfer’s terrible safety record are protected by a secrecy order and are not available to the public. The judge exhibited so much bias in favor of Energy Transfer that a team of international human rights lawyers felt compelled to monitor the trial. One prominent monitor stated 'In my six decades of legal practice, I have never witnessed a trial as unfair as the one against Greenpeace that just ended in the courts of North Dakota.'</p><p>"Standing Rock has tried to work for greater transparency on DAPL. It is our experience with the Army Corps of Engineers and Energy Transfer that all documents relating to DAPL pipeline safety are heavily redacted, and kept secret. What are they hiding? Who is looking out for the communities that may be affected by an oil spill? And why didn’t the North Dakota court allow Greenpeace to address these questions at the trial?<br> <br>"DAPL is a dangerous pipeline. It crosses our unceded Treaty and aboriginal land. Energy Transfer destroyed Tribal burials as identified by our cultural experts, and committed violence against our people. That is the history that North Dakota and Morton County must reckon with. After the Greenpeace verdict, that day seems farther off than ever." </p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2025/03/standing-rock-chair-on-greenpeace.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2025/03</span><span class="invisible">/standing-rock-chair-on-greenpeace.html</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandWithStandingRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandWithStandingRock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPsLawsuits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPsLawsuits</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SLAPPs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SLAPPs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOilAndGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOilAndGas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Academi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EricPrince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EricPrince</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Blackwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blackwater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KelcyWarren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KelcyWarren</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oiligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oiligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterProtectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterProtectors</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StevenDonziger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StevenDonziger</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReaderSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReaderSupportedNews</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StandingRockReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StandingRockReservation</span></a></p>

Miia Mustang<p>You know how US cops are basically a bunch of unvetted and loosely trained sociopaths/murderers/fascists?</p><p>I feel Finland's equivalent of that is our private security industry.</p><p>Like... As bad as our cops are, they at least make "some" attempts of not using too much force (it does happen, but they try not to use lethal force).</p><p>Whereas our private security companies has had a past of:</p><p>- Maintaining (illegal) registries and profiles of "undesireables"</p><p>- Systematically neglecting beatings/assaults committed by their employees</p><p>- Lobbying municipalities (especially the City of Helsinki) into spending absurd amounts of money for what amounts to extrajudicial street patrols.</p><p>- Cultivating a culture of violence and racism within their workplaces.</p><p>So like... While these are nowhere near as deadly OR have qualified immunity in legal terms, I think there's a certain similarity between these firms and the way US cops are.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MallCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MallCops</span></a></p>
