The Mark of Zorro.  Some very wealthy nobleman (of high birth, a prince) hides behind a mask and dispenses his form of justice at will and hidden from knowing eyes.  In the films and TV shows, he was portrayed as a hero, the savior of the local humanity and righter of wrongs.  The story line in the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro, is that in 1821 Don Diego de la Vegas “a Californio nobleman fights against the Spanish in the Mexican War of Independence as Zorro, a mysterious swordsman who defends the Mexican peasants and commoners of Las Californias” and the corrupt governor learns of his identity.  To keep it simple, after some shenanigans a plan to retake California emerges with a lot of deception and the retaking of a gold mine to repurchase California and end the rule of the evil guys.  The main point to remember is that there is a lot of hidden identity and subterfuge with the supposed good guys coming out on top.  A fairly tale yes, but the idea of unknown or surreptitious military action to subvert things to create an artificial end is the point we need to keep in mind.

A Mercenary is “sometimes also called a soldier of fortune, hired gun, or, archaically, sellsword, is a private individual who joins a military conflict for personal profit, is otherwise an outsider to the conflict, and is not a member of any other official military” and they “fight for money or other forms of payment rather than for political interests.”  In other words, they can be described as murder for hire in addition to other duties.  At the start of the Iraq war in 2003, for every ten U.S. Military Service members; there was one private military contractor. By 2007 there were more contractors than actual U.S. Military and the numbers rose greatly for Afghanistan and our previous column describing the US government’s control of the world’s drug production and distribution comes into play here.

Some of the missing military budget monies are spent on contract armies along with black projects, bribes/payoffs, money laundering and more.  National Defense University Press put it this way about five years ago; “Private force has become big business, and global in scope. No one truly knows how many billions of dollars slosh around this illicit market. All we know is that business is booming.”  Moreover, even terrorists hire mercenaries and if they can, why not humanitarians?  “The option of private peacekeepers versus none at all, which is the condition in many parts of the world today, is a Hobson’s choice. What’s to stop a millionaire from buying a humanitarian intervention in the future? Stopping atrocities would leave quite the legacy” and “companies working in dangerous places are tired of relying on corrupt or inept security forces provided to them by host governments, and they are turning to private force.”  Cyberspace hacking, sea transport, energy companies protecting their sources and many more areas are hiring contract private forces.  “Mercenaries are appearing everywhere, and no longer just in the fringe. Contract warfare has become a new way of warfare, resurrected by the United States and imitated by others.”

Military force is being bought and sold like any other commodity and that as that trend continues as the hyper rich become the real power behind the world’s super powers.  That can be seen in the current wars that seem to be between factions that do not seem to represent normal states or nations.  “Mercenaries were long considered an honorable, albeit bloody trade, and only the past 200 years stigmatized them. As for the previous 4,000+ years, mercenaries were a feature—often the main feature—of war” and they can be considered the second oldest profession being serviced by those in the oldest as the needs of men dictate.  NDU Press said of modern mercenaries that there are “uncanny parallels between medieval mercenaries and modern ones. Back then, mercenaries were called condottieri or “contractors” in old Italian, just like today. They organized into “free companies,” now called private military companies, led by CEO-like captains who managed profit and loss. Professional men of arms filled their ranks, coming from different countries and united by a paycheck.”

“Unconstrained political rivalries, heaps of money, and abundant private armies for hire turned medieval Europe into a war zone like the Middle East today. ….Machiavelli had a point that private warfare turns warriors into beasts and citizens into cowards. Mercenaries not only start and expand wars for profit but are also egged on by employers like Machiavelli’s Florence…..Out-of-work mercenaries also marauded between contracts, preying on the countryside while artificially generating demand for their protection services. This inevitably led to racketeering.”  (cue Joe Biden and his criminal cabal)  I would like to draw your attention to the current spate of articles on how the Crime Family Biden is getting so rich off of the Ukraine and its war of mercenaries primarily of Russian, British and American soldier of fortune armies including those of other NATO nations.  What has been uncovered and published thus far is but the sparkle in the edges of the massive wealth being generated.  The usual subjects of secret societies are the primary benefactors and recipients of that wealth.  It has been said that all wars are banker’s wars, and who has the control of the world’s riches more than the world’s Central Banks under the control of the Red Shields?

Any warrior that is any good in any nations military is not in it for very long anymore.  Not when private companies pay is so dramatically higher and they go shopping for you.  And although private security is not usually the same as private military, the overlap is huge.  Many private security firms are also private military firms and are used where political sensitivity is required, where deniability is needed, where no firm ties to any nation’s official business may be made.  Use has skyrocketed with the war on terror and maybe a major factor is to hide an illegal war on populations?  Even Trump uses private security because they are so much better than the official federal security provides and is the reason why he escaped the assassination as planned by the left on January 6th 2021.

“What truly revitalized the ancient mercenary trade was the chum-slick of American war contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. One would assume failing states needing strong militaries would defibrillate mercenarism, but it was a superpower seeking political top-cover that resurrected the industry”.  “Contracting has become a new American way of war, and trendlines indicate the United States may outsource 80 to 90 percent of its future wars….”  Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater International, pushed replacing all American troops in Afghanistan with contractors; in other words, privatizing the war in Afghanistan.  Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment said that few realize that most of the contractors who fight in U.S. wars are not even American. To keep costs down, military companies hire personnel from the developing world where military labor is cheap, making these firms densely international. “According to a Department of Defense (DOD) report, nearly 50,000 contractors worked for U.S. Central Command in 2018. Of these, only 20,000 were American. Most of these contractors were unarmed and performing nonmilitary jobs, therefore not mercenaries. There were 2,002 armed contractors, 746 of whom were Americans and 1,256 whom were foreigners.”  Syria is a major example of US versus Russian mercenary armies and Ukraine is becoming so.  You really did not think some homosexual comedian pretending to be in charge of Ukraine can lead armies to do what has been done there, do you?  No, it is a duplicate of what has been going on in Syria.

So why did Biden (read as Obama) pull out of Afghanistan so quick and irrationally?  I have said before that it is because the profits in his drug cartel management is greater using Chinese drug sources, and the price of the associated mercenaries is therefore lower making the profits that much higher.  That and the ease and convenience of handing over all of that military equipment left behind for use in other private wars that they are fighting elsewhere.  What a scam that is.

Hybrid Warfare is the use of unconventional methods in conflict as a part of a multi-dimensioned approach to fighting a war by disrupting or disabling an enemies actions without actual open hostilities.  All nations seem to engage in that form to one degree or another such as the current massive cyber attacks on the USA, and it includes employing multiple, diverse tactics simultaneously against an opponent.  This includes the subversion of our various institutions as seen in the communist attacks and takeovers of our nations public institutions, the current evil of perversions being touted as somehow the new norm, in the all but total takeover of our news and information by radicals pretending that they are somehow “normal” while the real Americans are vilified as somehow the opposite.  

In an August 2021 article, the National Library of Medicine published an article on counter terrorism medicine and equates CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear) attacks as a form of hybrid warfare and I would suggest that using their definitions, the Covid 19 biologic weapon attacks on us were just exactly that; Hybrid Warfare against not only this nation but on the world as a whole.  By whom?  That should be obvious by looking at where the profits went, who benefits the most from it all.  Our medical systems such as our doctors, nurses and hospitals were the mercenary combatants in that show of horrors.

Private Contracted Military is the primary constituent of hybrid warfare as the “increased prominence of PMCs in warfare could have significant implications for the future of conflict and security operations. ....One potential impact is that PMCs could be used more frequently as a substitute for conventional military forces, as they are often more cost-effective and politically palatable for governments.

Another potential impact is blurring the lines between state and non-state actors in warfare. PMCs are not bound by the same rules and regulations as traditional military forces, and they often operate in a grey area between legitimate military operations and illicit activities. This could make it more challenging to determine who is responsible for particular actions in a conflict.....PMCs are typically not subject to the same legal and regulatory frameworks as traditional military forces, which could make it more challenging to hold them accountable for human rights violations or other abuses.”

Keeping the forgoing in mind, let’s look a bit closer as some PMC/private armies and get a better idea of just what we are referring to. 

Currently in the news is the Wagner Group, much the same as Blackwater but linked to the Russian state rather than the American state.  Along with Ukraine, Syria is a main battle ground for these two who operate for their owners in accomplishing the objectives that may or may not be those officially of the contracting bodies.  A recent story in Anti-War among other sources claim that the US is building another new military base in Raqqa, which is in northeast Syria.  As part of the economic war against Syria (and by extension Russia) and ISIS this is not a good move by the US.  This new base proves the commitment to keep the sanctions against Damascus going even with pressure to remove our forces from that area.  There have been a number of engagements with Russian forces there, and most are by proxy using private military units including RussCorp and the Wagner group which also played a major part in the annexation of Crimea and currently are the main fighting force in Ukraine as well.   Russia is projecting state policy by surrogate hybrid warfare including PMCs have become an integral part of the Kremlin’s approach to foreign policy. Unlike Western PMCs, which can arguably augment their ability to provide effective public security, Russian PMCs are used to construct insecurities to the point of fighting hybrid surrogate wars.

The significance of the deployment of these PMCs is that they are an “extension of the Russian security apparatus, closely linked to the FSB, GRU and SVR, and with similar command and control structures, staffed by former members of the Russian security services” which is the SAME as US PMC's in those regions.  About six years ago Newsweek had an interesting article on the privatization of American Armed Forces and mentioned that “about half of our armed forces is outsourced to private military contractors – and far more now days ---- An increasing number of super-wealthy private citizens own private militaries and are looking for "business" in the Middle East, Africa and around the world. -- These contractors, to include the company formerly known as Blackwater, are now increasingly owned by private equity firms. Thus, American and international security is largely in the hands of private equity partners.”  Read that line in red again and consider just who the multi-billionaires are?

Please understand what you just read – this means that the CFR which we have previously proved in other columns actually selects our presidents and other high rank officials actually run our wars around the globe. Remember that the CFR is a localized arm, the American branch if you will, of the WEF and therefore a major component of the NWO and are Illuminati in and of themselves.  There is an overlap of ownership and controls as can be seen by a short history of Blackwater.

“…in 1997, Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL, founded Blackwater. After the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Iraq in which four of Prince's employees were convicted, he changed the company's name to Xe Services. In 2010, he sold the company to two private equity firms for $200 million.

These PE investors renamed the firm ACADEMI, bought two of Blackwater's competitors, Triple Canopy and Olive Group, then sold all three PMCs in 2016 to the world's largest private equity firm, Apollo, for an estimated $1 billion.

More recently, Prince has re-entered the industry recruiting a group of Chinese investors and starting his own private equity firm and another PMC. "This is not a patriotic endeavor of ours," he made clear of his new PE firm's goals. "We're here to build a great business and make some money doing it.”

Is this starting to make sense? Such as why the imposter pretending to be Joe Biden is the one installed in our White House?  He is just a dumb puppet with his strings being pulled by others.  Whether or not the real Joe is alive or just filling in when he is able is not really the point; it is that he is just a place holder and has no real power except as a reason to control many millions or billions in laundered monies through his family criminal cartel.  The machinations of pretension are great, but the reality is we are under a feudal style farce of a government being shown as what it is supposed to be but obviously is not that civics taught us in our schools.  To add insult to this injury, please recall our recent column on the reality of our borders being invaded by foreign troops.  They are in reality not another nations government soldiers, but contract employees out to fulfill their contract against us held by their owners, the same ones that own Joe Biden’s image used to pretend we are under a president’s direction.  Harsh?  Yes, but I call things as I see them fall into place. They have NO problem with attacking us directly in our own cities, streets and even homes.

Think back on some of the more well known false flags such as school shootings, jets ramming into skyscrapers to start a very profitable war in Iraq (whatever the hell Iraq had to do with Saudi mercenaries and the demolition squads that actually brought those buildings down) and the terrorist attack by mercenaries on the American public in Las Vegas.  Actually, let’s dive a bit deeper than just a brief mention on that one.  As the Epoch Times story said, “J6 Attorney Says Feds Using Military Counterterrorism Tactics Against Americans” and that is just the beginning of the truth.

Law enforcement in Las Vegas after shootings

Try as they might to get an understanding that there was some lone gunman that did all of that shooting from some lone window that wasn’t even broken out until after the shooting was over, and shots from helicopters, from rooftops, in the lobbies of various hotels, from various locations near the airport, using fully automatic rifles where his was not and in three-shot bursts as military rifles can do and so much more, this can only be explained by the fact that it was indeed a military operation as so many witnesses claimed it was.  There are some who claim it was faked with crisis actors and such, but that is just a lie, possibly from disinformation systems owned by the perpetrators themselves.  Perhaps the best overview of that attack is in the third video below and is about two and quarter hours long but very well worth the time to view if you have any questions whatsoever on the reality of that hired private military attack.  Keep an eye out for caches of weapons, perhaps in shipping containers being held in secured locations, perhaps with communications equipment, perhaps in relatively remote areas but near enough to high density cities.  Perhaps within reach of military training camps that is NOT directly related to US Military units.  Consider Las Vegas as an example of what we have in our future from our overlords, perhaps as they try to take our defensive arms from us.

Again, with Joe Biden and his crime syndicate in DIRECT cahoots with the Chinese Communist Party and their military, and with so many Chinese private military troops being funneled into this nation along with other mercenaries, treason is not going to be charged as they control the courts, the DOD, the DOJ, the CIA, FBI and so just be aware of things as they occur.  This nation is under direct attack by those that own the government and there seems there is nothing we can do about it; no Zoro is going to rescue us.  As the wars being waged around the world go into hyper-drive and completely out of control, the Prophets warnings to us in God’s Word tell the tale of what we can expect, and that is their own destruction as He sets up His kingdom, but that is going to take awhile.  In the meantime, we will be destroyed as a nation and most of our population will also be destroyed.  That may take some years or it may happen within months, there is no way to be sure.  I really wish it were otherwise, but I don’t see peace as this nation is fighting harder and harder against our Creator rather than for Him.

May God Bless
