Not even the LaRouchies have come up with what Joseph A. Palermo at the Huffington Post is saying. Senator Barack Obama so threatens Blackwater and Halliburton that one of the companies will assassinate him in order to protect their profits.In his January 4 essay, "Barack Obama, RFK and Blackwater," Palermo traces the 1968 campaign of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was gunned down as his campaign surged ahead on a spirit of racial harmony, anti-war activism and optimism.
"Blackwater, that reactionary private mercenary outfit headed by the right-wing Christian nationalist Erik Prince stands to lose big time with an Obama presidency," Palermo writes, citing fringe writer Jeremy Scahill.
"Bush gave Blackwater and companies like it a free ride on the government's dime and they no doubt want the gravy train to continue. Obama promises to apply the brakes. He therefore has some well-armed and lethally trained enemies that stand to lose their livelihoods if he follows through on his promise to end the Iraq occupation. When the political winds blow toward radical change our recent history shows that there's a tendency for popular leaders on the left to face some form of unexplained tragedy."
It would take a Huffington Post crank with a Sicilian last name to come up with that one.
