The USA PotatoOnce a Niche Topic in Federal Lobbying, AI Is Now a Major Area of Focus
Both legacy military contractors and an influx of startups are making the technology a core focus of their efforts.
Miguel Afonso Caetano"The Trump administration is preparing to use private military contractors to protect oil and energy assets in Venezuela rather than deploying US troops, according to two sources familiar with the plans, setting up a potential boon for security firms with experience in the region and ties to the administration.
While President Trump hasn’t ruled out a possible US military presence in Venezuela, sources close to the president say he’s wary of putting American boots on the ground for an extended period of time. That raises a potential problem for the White House following the US capture of Venezuela’s former President Nicolás Maduro.
As it lobbies major oil companies to reinvest in Venezuela’s ailing oil industry, the administration must convince them it can provide the kind of security they will need to operate safely there — not just for months but years."

Trump officials eye private security contractors to safeguard oil assets in Venezuela
The Trump administration is preparing to use private military contractors to protect oil and energy assets in Venezuela rather than deploying US troops, according to two sources familiar with the plans, setting up a potential boon for security firms with experience in the region and ties to the administration.
"The shooting may have stopped for now — but the armed U.S. military veterans who once patrolled aid distribution sites in Gaza say they are ready and willing to return to work.
Amid ongoing uncertainty about the future of a controversial, Israel-approved aid distribution scheme, on Monday one of its lead contractors said it will keep working in the region.
The statement from UG Solutions hints at a continued presence for U.S. private military contractors in Gaza, despite pushback from Palestinian political parties and the international aid community.
The firm’s employees, many of them U.S. special forces veterans, have provided security at four aid distribution sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation since May. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed along the routes to the foundation’s aid sites under Israel Defense Forces gunfire, according to the United Nations."

Toni AittoniemiLoL. Private #militarycontractors won’t do shit to deter Russia from attacking #Ukraine again! They are logistics & construction workers with armed guards, not “boots on the ground”. Putin will target these the moment he gets a chance, to show #Trump is his bitch again.
Sure, good to have if you have the money.(Because they’re EXPENSIVE AF!)
(I’d rather have European construction companies guarded by our boys & girls than 100x overcharging bozos from overseas)
Trump reportedly mulls sending a private army to Ukraine as peace plan shocker
Donald Trump is reportedly considering a plan involving American private military contractors in Ukraine as part of a long-term peace strategy. This initiative aims to rebuild defenses and safeguard American interests, circumventing Trump's pledge against deploying US troops. European allies are crafting security guarantees, potentially including increased border presence and naval patrols.

Mix Mistress Alice💄I block all musicians proudly displaying that their music is on Spotify. These folks are exploited ignorants who only serve surveillance capitalism and warfare more than the arts.
And more often than not, their music does not resonate with me.

DoomsdaysCWUS military contractor CACI to face retrial over allegations of torture at #Iraq prison
Tyler Li | U. Ottawa Faculty of Law, CA
June 15, 2024
"The case against #CACI is one of many legal actions against private military contractors accused of detainee abuse, including those against #TitanCorporation (later known as L-3 Services) and CACI for their roles in alleged abuse at #AbuGhraib, as well as against #Blackwater for incidents like the #NisourSquare massacre in #Baghdad. Many of these cases faced similar legal challenges, specifically dismissals based on national security concerns and the complexities of applying US law to actions taken in war zones."
