Blackwater Security Consulting
High-Threat Protection
U.S. Embassy - Iraq
Are you watching the news? As things heat up in Iraq it's become very apparent that the United States Government needs operators to protect their personnel in that very hostile environment. And at the forefront of that protection is Blackwater Security Consulting's Protective Security Specialists (PSS).
Blackwater Security Consulting (BSC) is providing qualified (see webpage for requirements) and trained PSS to the U.S Department of State, Bureau for Diplomatic Security for the purpose of conducting protective security operations in Iraq.
Successful completion of our High Threat Protection pre-deployment training/assessment with physical fitness testing is required. You must have a clean record and be able to attain a DoS Security Clearance before deployment.
Classes are scheduled throughout the remaining of the year with limited slots available. If you're interested in this sector of the anti-terrorism field now is the time to join us. PSS/Combat Medics are also needed to be a part of the Protective Security Details.
To submit a resume and become a PSS Independent Contractor with BSC's High-Threat Protection team visit our Diplomatic Security webpage at: http://www.blackwaterusa.com/about/employment.asp

Kick Starting Your Brain
Doran 2004Having a Mantra that we recite daily is just one more weapon in the warriors arsenal. It keeps our mind sharp and puts our brain on a positive track. It takes little or no effort.
It is not so much what you say or how you say it. You must teach yourself to believe it.
You can use yours mine or someone else's. You can make it in the form of a prayer, song or sonnet. The words and how they are said is strictly up to you as long as they are positive and pertain to the job at hand which is keeping yourself and your partners alive. The words should also kick start brain and get it into warrior mode.
We all have what I call mindless time as we prepare for the day. We get up have coffee, lay back look at the clock and think about how can I lay here until the last possible second. Then we get into negative mode and worry about things that do not even matter.
The worse thing we can do is allow this time to be wasted. Instead of looking at all of the negative, we should get up and do what is immediately necessary (IE: drain the bladder) and then begin the day reciting words which prepares us for battle.

The Developing Iraqi Insurgency: Status at End-2004
Failures in Recognizing the Growth and Character of the Insurgent ThreatMuch has been made of the decision to disband the Iraqi Army, and many see it as a key failure in US policy. As has been explained earlier, however, the decision needs to be put in perspective. Most of the Iraqi Army had either been shattered in the field or had deserted before ORHA, much less the CPA, entered the country. In many cases, key facilities had been destroyed or looted to the point where barracks could not be occupied. Not "disbanding" was not a choice in any serious sense; it had already happened, and events since that time have shown that creating effective forces would have required a massive training, equipment, and facility improvement effort - and massive purging of low grade forces and inadequate leaders.

Buyer Beware
By Frank CucciImagine if you asked your average Special Operations operator (if there is such a thing as an "average" SOF operator) to critique the performance of a symphony orchestra, or describe the aura and depth of an oil painting. I think it is fair to say that most of us could not give a very informed opinion. Most of us simply lack knowledge and exposure to that particular field.

SECURITY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL Sponsored by Blackwater Security Consultants |
Saudis say attack appears hastily launched Government: Militants were likely spooked by earlier gunbattle Plotters of a double car bombing in the Saudi capital were spooked by a gunbattle with police earlier in the week and launched their attack hastily, failing to penetrate the security installations they targeted, a Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman said Thursday. The car bombings Wednesday night targeted the Interior Ministry and a recruiting center for the kingdom's anti-terrorism squad. No serious damage was reported, and, while the spokesman said at least 10 militants were killed, only one other person - a limousine driver - was believed dead. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6766122/
Militants warn Iraqis not to vote on Jan. 30 He used to be America's top law enforcement official. Now, he's apparently one of Saddam Hussein's lawyers. The former Iraqi dictator's chief lawyer says former Attorney General Ramsey Clark has signed on to defend Saddam. The lawyer says Clark joined the team after Saddam said last week he wanted to pass on his regards to the former attorney general. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,142861,00.html Iraqis Train to Be Elite Security Fighters They're commandos, elite forces battling terrorists - and they're Iraqi. Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are working together to protect their homeland. And they're trained by American soldiers to do it. FOX News spent a few days watching the unit train to become part of Iraq's security force, which currently has 120,000 members and a small-but-growing number of skilled fighters from all parts of the country. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,142919,00.html Muslim Extremists Preach Violence in Europe LONDON - He's called Sheik Terra. With a Koran in one hand and pistol in the other, the British rapper calls for the murder of non-Muslims, including several world leaders, on a videotape. The video is well known in one London mosque, whose imam - or leader - is accused of setting up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and whose followers don't like Western media. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,139807,00.html

| FRANKS REVIEW |
Undercover Comfort GlovesBy: Frank BorelliIn the law enforcement and military operational arenas, the need to protect our hands is great. What we need to protect our hands from varies from assignment to assignment and also often depends on our operational environment. Sometimes we need only protect our hands from the cold. Other times we need to protect our hands from sharp objects, heat, electricity, etc. Undercover Comfort is now producing a variety of gloves, each designed for a specific purpose. In past reviews I've written about some other products from UnderCover Comfort (UCC). I frequently wear the hoody that I purchased at the ASLET 2004 Conference. The Tactical Training Suit that I reviewed (two weeks ago?) is now appreciated during simunitions and paintball training to keep down the number of bruises received each day. UCC provided several pairs of gloves to test and they've proven quite useful. http://www.blackwaterusa.com/btw2004/articles/0103frank.html

TO AND FOR PEACE KEEPERS OF THE MILITARY AND ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AT ALL LEVELS AND ALL OF THOSE IN THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND ALL WHO CARE ABOUT THEM AND THEIR WELFARE.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR"I have heard that greeting often in the last few days. For a long, long time now I have pondered and mulled over this happy wish from those who know me. In the process of my thinking I have travelled from the beginning of my career 'til now and mulled over the incidents of the journey.James, one of the New Testament writers, says, "Come now, let us say, If the lord wills we will go to such and such a place and we will do such and such a thing." Not one of us knows what a moment may bring...... no matter how hard we strain to see into the future...... immediate or distant...... the absolute knowledge of the future eludes us. First, I have discovered that their wishes for my "Happy New Year" were good to hear and receive, but those wishes did not determine for me whether or not the year was happy. Only the attitude with which I faced each moment of each day, each day of each week, each week of each month, each month of each year..... and all the years of my life and my career as well.... only my attitude determined whether my moment or any other measurement of time was happy for me.
