DynCorp Again Wins State Department Contract for Narcotics Eradication

[Robbien]

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2005--DynCorp International LLC has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of State to assist foreign governments in the eradication and interdiction of illicit crops such as coca and opium poppy. This is the third consecutive eradication and interdiction contract State has awarded to DynCorp International and its corporate predecessors, which have provided eradication services to the Department of State since 1991.

. . .

Under the contract, DynCorp International will be wholly responsible for aerial eradication, and will provide aviation services to support host-nation missions in manual eradication and interdiction. The company will also provide technical training to Colombian army personnel under the State Department's Plan Colombia Helicopter Program. Aerial missions are accomplished using fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.

DynCorp International currently supports eradication and training operations in Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru, and the Border Surveillance Program in Pakistan. The company will provide all operations, logistics, and maintenance services necessary to perform the tasks as required by the local U.S. embassy. The contract requires DynCorp International to monitor host-nation operations and address any deficiencies while continuing to develop training programs, with the goal of enabling host-nation personnel to assume responsibility for all specified mission requirements at the earliest date possible.

1. DynCoke

The reality behind the operations of these shady "defence" corporations is another story. Far from eradicating, it will be DynCorp's job to make sure they (the company and the CIA/US Govt.) will be the sole suppliers of Cocaine/Whatever drug into the US. Their private militaries will cut out any other would be traffickers and using various National Security covers will ship the powder into the US.

Ridiculous? There are stories about various other Weapons/Military companies being involved in drug and people trafficking, child prostitution and other nefarious activities. As an aside, did you know that any of the 5000 so-called Saudi princes do not have to go through customs per normal people when leaving the US. They are allowed to drive their Limo's and entourage past everything directly up to the stairs of their private jets and walk on, no questions asked. Where do you think all these kids are dissapearing to in the US each year?

3. Not ridiculous at all

Its no wonder Afghanistan is now the world's largest coke producing nation now that it is under US/Dyncorp control.

9. No ridicule here

From the wilderness:

"in a 2000 SEC filing, Brown and Root reported that in addition to owning more than 800,000 square feet of warehouse space in Colombia, they also lease another 122,000 square feet. According to the filing of the Brown and Root Energy Services Group, the only other places where the company maintains warehouse space are in Mexico (525,000 sq. feet), and the U.S. (38,000) square feet.
According to the web site of Colombia's Foreign Investment Promotion Agency Brown and Root had no presence in the country until 1997. What does Brown and Root, which, according to the AP has made more than $2 billion supporting and supplying U.S. troops, know about Colombia that the U.S. public does not? Why the need for almost a million square feet of warehouse space that can be transferred from one Brown and Root operation (energy) to another (military support) with the stroke of a pen?"

Hmmm, they maintain warehouse space in Colombia, Mexico and the US and nowhere else?

6. My question as well

I believe it was in the former Yugoslavia where the documented cases of DynCorp's complicity in child rape and trafficking were found.

5. Is DynCorp still DynCorp? Is DynInternational

separate? Veritas took over a large portion but of what, I'm not sure.

7. Veritas Capital acquired DynCorp

DynCorp's full name is DynCorp International and it is now operating as a fully owned company of Veritas Capital.

10. War Profiteer: Dyn Corp (from CorpWatch)

This is a very good primer on these mercenary criminals-it has many articles documenting the activities of these war criminal scum (including child sex slavery) that will do anything--if the price is right.

11. What a sick joke, Afghanistan IS a Dyn Corp narco-state based on opium.

The War on Drugs is truly organized crime from BFEE.
