- Introduction
- What became the United States defense contractor, DynCorp International, began in 1946
- as California Eastern Airways (CEA), an air freight business, and Land-Air Inc., in aircraft
- maintenance company founded by veterans of World War II. In 1962 CEA became
- “Dynalectron Corporation”. By 1986, Dynaelectron was one of the largest defense contractors
- in North America. In 1987, Dynalectron changed its name to DynCorp and subsequently
- became a privately traded corporation in 1988. In 2003 DynCorp officially became “DynCorp
- International”.
- At about the same time DynCorp began involving itself in criminal activities perpetrated by
- the United States government and its rising military-industrial complex. This book’s content
- begins in the 1980s when DynCorp began its work trafficking drugs and weapons during the
- Iran-Contra Scandal. It takes the reader through the 1990s human trafficking scandals in the
- Balkans, through the 2000s human and organ trafficking scandals, and additional major
- criminal activities leading up to 2017.
- Originally I wrote this as a 10-part blog series also titled The Case Against DynCorp, followed
- by a podcast, all of which can be found on my Steemit blog. This book, however, contains
- further refinements, edits, elaborations and formatting intended to make it better suited for
- print and mass publication as a book.
- The information contained in these pages is of the utmost importance. It outlines a criminal
- enterprise conducted by one of the most prolific and well-resourced military corporations in the
- entire world. DynCorp International represents a threat to everyone, whether they are from the
- United States or not. Worst of all, DynCorp represents a particularly dangerous threat to
- children.
- No DynCorp employee has ever been criminally prosecuted for any of these crimes. While
- most recently in April of 2017 the Vice President of Business Development for DynCorp, James
- Grazioplene, was arrested for molesting children in the 1980s, this was during his term as an
- officer in the United States Army.

- With that said, do not take this as a personal attack on all employees of DynCorp
- International and persons in the public or private armed protection services. I do, however,
- stand by my general theory that privatizing military and intelligence agencies leads to
- disastrous results. On a personal level I would prefer to live in a world where military
- corporations such as DynCorp didn’t have to exist.
- The purpose of this book is to inform and properly equip the reader with facts, sources,
- perspectives and materials for founding their own argument. In addition, it is to memorialize
- the victims who have gone without a voice or justice for so long.

- Chapter I: The Iran/Contra Affair (1980s)
- I figured it most appropriate to start with one of DynCorp's
- earliest scandals. Few people know, but DynCorp played an
- instrumental role in the Iran-Contra Affair of the 1980s.
- The Iran-Contra Affair was an incident in which, in spite of an
- on-going embargo with Iran, the United States government
- used various means to sell weapons to Iran in exchange for
- hostages. Money for these arms were earned from the sale of
- illicit drugs by the United States in addition to returns from
- their support of the Contras, a Nicaraguan military faction
- opposed to the Cuban-backed Sandanistas.
- It is yet unknown entirely what role DynCorp played in this affair, but over the years there
- have been some unique insights into the existence of such a connection from remarkably
- official sources:
- The enterprise Eagle Aviation Services and Technology, Inc. –EAST-, subcontracted by
- DynCorp, helped lieutenant colonel Oliver North, during the Iran-Contra scandal in
- the 1980’s, transport weapons and munitions for the Nicaraguan Contras in their fight
- against the Sandinista government.
- Source: Argentina's Institute for Strategic Studies and International Relations
- In the 1980s, EAST and its founder, Richard Gadd, helped North, then a National
- Security Council official, secretly supply weapons and ammunition to Nicaragua's
- Contra rebels at a time that Congress had banned the government from providing
- lethal aid.
- Source: Associated Press
- 7
- It is fairly certain, then, that DynCorp facilitated the transport and sales of weapons to the
- Nicaraguan Contras. It is yet unknown, however, if they were connected to the sale of illicit
- drugs or deals with Iran during this time as well.
- 8
- Chapter II: Colombia (2000s)
- For almost thirty years DynCorp employees have been responsible for rapes, murders, and
- unspeakable atrocities around the world. Perhaps one of the first countries to actively speak
- out against these abuses was Colombia. They were the victims of systematic sexual abuse,
- chemical spraying, and mercenary actions taken by DynCorp.
- Between 2003 and 2007 it would be reported that at least 54 children in Colombia had been
- sexually assaulted by military contractors the Colombian government would not name:
- The Colombian press, however, identifies DynCorp, a Virginia-based contractor.
- Source: The Nation
- In one case DynCorp employees taped and distributed videos of sexual abuse with local
- children, leading to the suicide of one victim.(1)
- These charges would later be compiled and brought before a committee on human rights
- by the José Alvear Restrepo Lawyers’ Collective of Colombia. Despite the effectiveness and
- depth of their case, DynCorp was protected by diplomatic immunity, and thus no criminal
- charges were ever brought against a single DynCorp employee.
- The case can be found in PDF format here:

- Chapter III: Bosnia/Kosovo (1999-2000s)
- DynCorp, as well as other United States intelligence agencies and defense contractors,
- committed horrific atrocities in the Balkan states during the 1990s and 2000s. Governments
- were overthrown, people assassinated, and drugs, weapons and humans were all trafficked in
- epidemic proportions. The whole event, particularly DynCorp's story, would later become the
- subject of the 2010 film, The Whistleblower.
- Testimony of Kathryn Bolkovac
- The Huffington Post reported Bolkovac's testimony in two
- sex scandals involving DynCorp in Bosnia:
- DynCorp was involved in a sex slavery scandal in
- Bosnia in 1999, with its employees accused of rape
- and the buying and selling of girls as young as 12.
- Dyncorp, hired to perform police duties for the UN
- and aircraft maintenance for the US Army, were
- implicated in prostituting the children, whereas the
- company’s Bosnia site supervisor filmed himself raping two women.
- Source: Huffington Post
- 11
- Kathryn Bolkovac also said in another interview:
- There were many cases, but they were never prosecuted: Young girls from Romania,
- Ukraine, Moldova and other Eastern European countries being brought in to service
- the UN and military bases as sex-slaves.
- The cases involved the officers from many foreign countries, including the USA,
- Pakistan, Germany, Romania, Ukraine, government contractors, and local organized
- criminals.
- The human rights investigators were never allowed to fully investigate, the suspects
- were immediately removed from the mission or transferred to other missions. The
- young women were simply sent back to their home countries.
- Source: Deutsche Welle
- Testimony of Ben Johnston
- Air plane mechanic Ben Johnston who sued DynCorp had uncovered evidence that
- Dyncorp employees were involved in "sexual slavery".
- Kelly Patricia O'Meara from Insight Magazine interviewed Ben Johnston. Kelly Patricia
- O'Meara would report a DynCorp employee who:
- owned a girl who couldn't have been more than 14 years old. It's a sick sight anyway to
- see any grown man [having sex] with a child, but to see some 45-year-old man who
- weighs 400 pounds with a little girl, it just makes you sick.
- Source: Ben Johnston
- Both Johnston and Bolkovac were fired, and Johnston was later placed into protective
- custody before leaving several days later.
- 12
- Federal investigation
- On June 2, 2000, an investigation was launched in the DynCorp hangar at Comanche Base
- Camp, one of two U.S. bases in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all DynCorp personnel were
- detained for questioning. CID spent several weeks investigating and the results appear to
- support Johnston's allegations. DynCorp had fired five employees for similar illegal activities
- prior to the charges. Many of the employees accused of sex trafficking were forced to resign
- under suspicion of illegal activity.
- As of 2017 no one had been prosecuted.
- On March 11, 2005, however, at the Fiscal Year 2006 Defense Department Budget Hearing,
- Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney questioned Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of
- Defense under President George W. Bush, about the US government's relationship with
- DynCorp, particularly after DynCorp was found to have engaged in woman and child sex
- trafficking. The revealing dialogue between McKinney and Rumsfeld can be found on
- YouTube.
- Perhaps by coincidence or her own actions in the Capital Hill Police Incident (the exact
- circumstances of which remain unclear), that would be Cynthia McKinney's last term in
- public office.(2)

- Chapter IV: Afghanistan (2009)
- In 2009, DynCorp contractors paid a 17-year-old Afghan Bacha Bazi performer to entertain
- them in Kunduz. Several Afghans were later arrested and investigated. It would be officially
- reported that the boy was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and performed a "tribal dance" and no
- DynCorp employee would be prosecuted.
- Hillary Clinton and the cover-up
- This 2009 email from Hillary Clinton's archive mentions DynCorp's hiring of an “adolescent
- boy dancer” from Afghanistan “for some sort of event that, at least to most folks, looked very
- inappropriate.” Here is the direct quote:
- According to my reporting, the week of April 13th, the DynCorp regional commander
- from Konduz, Flint Chambers, allowed his men to hire a 15-year-old boy dancer to do
- tribal dances at a DynCorp party on the training site.
- Some 15 or so DynCorp employees in attendance pulled out a single chair and had the
- boy do mock lap dances. This was captured on video.
- The video shows DynCorp employees putting dollar bills in the boy’s waistband, just
- as they would a stripper’s garter. The revelry lasted about 45 minutes.
- 14
- This message was sent directly to Hillary Clinton from Cheryl Mills who is one of her most
- prominent lawyers (she also defended Bill Clinton from impeachment). Based on the email, it
- appears The Washington Post was writing to Hillary Clinton and her team about an upcoming
- article on the DynCorp Afghanistan scandal, and it appears Mills and the rest of the team then
- engaged in damage control to hush parts of that very article.
- In the Hillary Clinton emails there is another about “inappropriate behavior by department
- contractor” which also took place in Afghanistan on April 16th, 2009, the circumstances of
- which are unclear but may refer to a contractor's drug overdose mentioned in the Afghan boy
- email.(3)
- WikiLeaks cable reveals more clues
- The Afghan Minister of Interior, Hanif Atmar, was mentioned in a United States diplomatic
- cable to the State Department asking vehemently that the story of the dancing boy be
- silenced:
- Atmar reiterated his insistence that the U.S. try to quash any news article on the
- incident or circulation of a video connected with it.
- He continued to predict that publicity would "endanger lives."
- He disclosed that he has arrested two Afghan police and nine other Afghans as part of
- an MoI investigation into Afghans who facilitated this crime of "purchasing a service
- from a child."
- He was convinced that the Kunduz incident, and other events where mentors had
- obtained drugs, could not have happened without Afghan participation.

- The details are horrifying... Apparently, US diplomats told him not to worry, and the
- eventual story was in fact watered down greatly (until now, of course) calling the whole
- thing a "tribal dance," rather than a party where young boys wear "scanty women's
- clothes" and "dance seductively" before being "auctioned off to the highest bidder" for
- sex.

- Chapter V: Haiti (1994-Present)
- Since at least 1994 DynCorp has been actively engaged in military activities in Haiti. During
- this time period they trained United Nations forces, local police, and the Haitian military. Also
- during this time DynCorp, United Nations peacekeeprs, and Haitian police would all be
- accused of facilitating and directly participating in sexual abuse against children and human
- trafficking.
- US troops remained in the country until 1999. The Haitian armed forces were
- disbanded and the US State Department hired a mercenary company DynCorp to
- provide "technical advice" in restructuring the Haitian National Police (HNP).
- DynCorp has always functioned as a cut-out for Pentagon and CIA covert operations.’
- Under DynCorp advice in Haiti, former Tonton Macoute and Haitian military officers
- involved in the 1991 coup d'état were brought into the HNP.
- Source: Global Research
- In 2005 Veritas Capital, owners of DynCorp, set up Athena Innovative Solutions (formerly
- MZM, Inc.) to support orphanage projects in Haiti:
- The Sure Foundation has granted over $9,000 to support the orphanage in the
- following ways: the installation of a water system for in-house toilets and bathing
- facilities and the construction of a playing field and apparatus for the children as their
- opportunities for wandering about in free play are limited.
- Since 2008 DynCorp had been contracted by the United Nations to recruit and train local
- police as well as United Nations police.(4) As of 2013, DynCorp had up to 100 officers acting as
- 17
- part of the UN Police Unit, otherwise known as "UN Pol," and 10 UN correction advisers,
- acting in Haiti.(5) The US paid $48.6 Million to DynCorp for that agreement, which amounts
- to roughly $440,000 per employee.(6)
- As late as 2015 it was reported that at least 231 individuals claimed they were sexually
- abused by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti, with a majority of the victims being children.
- (7) Things have become so bad that in 2016 the United Nations vowed to make changes to
- accountability among peacekeepers in Haiti.(8) While that does indicate some progress in
- terms of change, little is being done about DynCorp.

- Chapter VI: DynPort Vaccine Company (2001-
- Present)
- DynPort Vaccine Company (DVC) is a little-known sister company of DynCorp who has also
- been involved in major scandals, particularly of the biomedical variety. DVC's mission,
- according to their website, is to, "help the government protect soldiers and civilians against
- emerging diseases and possible bioterror threats. We also manage product development
- programs for U.S. and international government agencies and provide consulting services to
- biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies."(9) DVC is now owned by CSRA, Inc., a
- merged conglomerate of CSC and SRA International. CSC also owned DynCorp for a short
- time before they sold it to Veritas Capital in 2005.
- The name DynPort comes from the combination of DynCorp and Porton International
- (Porton Down).(10) This would be interesting as the founder of Porton Down would be found
- guilty of selling unauthorized anthrax to Saudi Arabia in 2002(11). This would be during the
- same time period DVC was also contracted to produce anthrax and anthrax vaccines, the
- latter not being completed by the time of the sale.(12)
- It doesn't end there for DVC, however. One of their closest research and business partners,
- Baxter International, has its own section on Wikipedia dedicated to the list of scandals they
- have been involved in from 1975 to 2010.
- ● 1975 Hemofil - Hepatitis B outbreak
- ● 1983 Prison Plasma Collection
- ● 1996 Japanese Haemophiliac HIV Lawsuit
- 19
- ● 2001 Althane disaster
- ● 2008 Chinese heparin adulteration
- ● 2009 Avian flu contamination
- ● 2009 drug cost inflation
- ● 2010 Hepatitis C infections
- ● 2010 infusion pump recall
- ● 2008–2010 tax dodging
- Source: Wikipedia on Baxter International
- Despite the rather dubious nature of DVC's business practices and partnerships, they
- continually receive lucrative contracts to develop vaccines for major pandemic disease
- development and vaccinations as well as bioweapons research. They seem to serve as a
- middleman for government agencies and private pharmaceutical companies and are always
- on the cutting edge of the next big epidemic disease.
- Perhaps most unnerving is their current work on injectable vaccine for Yersinia pestis, more
- commonly known as the "Black Death" or "Bubonic Plague".

- Chapter VII: Cerberus Capital Management (2008-
- Present)
- Cerberus Capital Management is the most recent owner of DynCorp International after its
- repeated scandals and sales. They purchased DynCorp in 2010 from Veritas Capital following
- the Kunduz Dancing Boy Incident, and have increased its size and scale ever since.
- Cerberus themselves have been involved in some shady deals and strange connections, and
- they have made headlines recently as Steve Feinberg assists President Trump in auditing U.S.
- intelligence agencies.
- History
- Cerberus Capital Management is a multi-billion dollar, limited-partnership, private
- investment firm with a specialization in "distressed" investing.(13) It was founded in 1992 by
- Steve Feinberg and William L. Richter and its current also led by global investments chair, Dan
- Quayle, and chairman John W. Snow.
- Cerberus not only owns DynCorp, but has countless other investments including:
- ● GeoEye technology used by the Google Maps satellite
- ● GE Money Bank who cashed in on the 2008 financial crisis
- ● PaxVax vaccine development
- ● Trican Well Service fracking
- ● Burger King
- ● Albertsons/Safeway
- Source: Crunchbase
- 21
- CEO and founder, Steve Feinberg
- Steve Feinberg is an infamously mysterious man and tries to keep himself and Cerberus
- away from the public spotlight. He is famously quoted as saying:
- We try to hide religiously.
- If anyone at Cerberus has his
- picture in the paper and a picture
- of his apartment, we will do more
- than fire that person. We will kill
- him. The jail sentence will be
- worth it.”
- Source: Steve Feinberg
- Feinberg, as a representative of
- Cerberus, was also a member of the Business Council in 2015 when they met with Hillary
- Clinton according to a WikiLeaks email to John Podesta.(14)
- As you might know, one of my clients is the Business Council — 120+ of the biggest
- CEO’s in the US.
- We usually get a good group of approximately 100 CEO’s at each meeting.
- The meetings are for CEO’s and their spouses only and off the record.
- Co-Founder, William L. Richter
- Little is known about William L. Richter and he has no Wikipedia page. He does however,
- have a page on Bloomberg which describes his background from Harvard Business School and
- a few of his rather peculiar investments:
- 22
- ● Aryzta Us Holdings I Corp. (parent company for Aryzta food stuff)
- ● !SOLUTIONS! Group
- ● Atlantic Tele-Satellite, Inc.
- ● D Construction, Inc.
- ● Graham & Associates,Inc
- ● Chairman of Nexus Industries Inc from 1970-1982 (Infant/toddler/children's clothing
- manufacturer)
- According to WikiLeaks diplomatic cables a William Richter also worked for the U.S. State
- Department in 1978, but it is unknown if they are exactly the same person.(15)
- Scandalous behavior
- Cashing in on the 2008 financial crisis
- In 2008 the United States faced one of its worst economic downturns ever, and as a result
- many major banks and car manufacturers were almost put out of business, or so they told the
- U.S. government. In fear of economic collapse, the U.S. Congress authorized billions of dollars
- to be paid to these failing companies to help them recover.
- Most of this money ended up in the hands of executives who would then give themselves
- bonuses, but few people also realized that many of these companies receiving bailout money
- were also involved with Cerberus. Chrysler, General Motors Acceptance Corp, and many
- others would receive bailout money despite being owned by the booming Cerberus.(16)
- Talecris blood plasma scandal
- In the latter part of 2009 alone, Cerberus-owned Talecris opened four new plasmamilking
- factories, plastering the Mexican side of the border with advertisements
- promising easy cash, and parking special plasma-farm buses on the American side of
- the border to haul their human cargo to those milking dens not within walking
- distance of the Rio Grande.
- 23
- Source: Mark Ames of Alternet
- In the four years they owned Talecris, Cerberus Capital Management turned their initial $80
- million USD investment into a $1.8 billion USD return using this methodology for procuring
- plasma donations.(17)
- "Namagate" and Project Eagle
- Namagate is a political corruption scandal involving the First Minister of Northern Ireland.
- The alleged corruption surrounds the sale of a portfolio of loans by the National Asset
- Management Agency (Nama) in April 2014. It is alleged that the First Minister of Northern
- Ireland, Peter Robinson, stood to benefit from a £7.5m "fixers' fee" upon the completion of the
- sale, which ultimately went to Cerberus.
- Allegedly competitors were also threatened to ensure Cerberus would win the contract.(18)
- This brief account only scratches the surface, what lies beneath is much more
- frightening.
- Source: Jamie Bryson
- Individuals involved with Cerberus
- Hillary Clinton
- It was mentioned earlier that Cerberus CEO Steve Feinberg met with Hillary Clinton in
- 2015, and according to Open Secrets, Cerberus Capital Management directly donated $43,264
- to Hillary Clinton during her 2016 Presidential campaign.(19)
- It should also be mentioned that Feinberg is a close association with Michael Bloomberg,
- and Bloomberg announced in 2016 that he would support Hillary Clinton.(20)
- President Donald J. Trump
- 24
- In February of 2017 President Donald J. Trump appointed Cerberus CEO Steve Feinberg to
- investigate and evaluate the performance of U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump alluded to a
- profound respect for Feinberg and was quoted as calling him a:
- A very talented man, very successful man
- He’s offered his services and you know, it’s something we may take advantage of.
- Source: Donald J. Trump
- Ron Burkle
- Ron Burkle is a billionaire investor and statutory rapist who's
- been noted in the past for his connections to serial pedophile
- Jeffrey Epstein. As it would turn out Burkle is also intimately
- connected to Cerberus through his firm, Yucaipa Company, as
- well as personally:
- Burkle we’re told is also has a large investor in Cerberus.
- Source: Natural Business News
- Conclusion
- Not only should DynCorp be investigated for their involvement in the Kunduz Dancing Boy
- Incident and more, but their owners such as Veritas and Cerberus, should also be investigated
- and held accountable. Sister companies and others owned by Veritas and Cerberus should be
- investigated too, such as Athena Innovative Solutions.
- Cerberus Capital Management has a very dark and illustrious history of secrecy and
- corruption. Combined with DynCorp they make for literal gatekeepers to Hell, and I believe it
- is important to continue investigating Cerberus and their connections until a case is finally
- made against them.

- Chapter VIII: Financial scandals (1991-2016)
- DoD/DynCorp missing trillions (1991-2001)
- It appears that Dyncorp broke the original investigation on this.
- Dyncorp was the accountant for roughly $2.7 trillion missing 1991-
- 2001. Also missing in 1996 or 1997; $60 billion missing out of HUD.
- Dyncorp appears to be the accounting division
- of the US government these days.
- Source: State of the Nation
- The reader should be reminded that this is the exact time period in which DynCorp was
- caught buying, selling and sexually abusing children in Bosnia, Kosovo, Colombia and more.
- Enron Scandal (2001)
- One of DynCorp's lesser-known, but incriminating
- connections is to the infamous insider-trading and massive
- financial fraud scandal of Enron. As it would turn out,
- famous DynCorp CEO Herbert "Pug" Winokur was also on
- the Board of Directors for Enron:
- On the Enron corporate website, one of the Board of
- Directors, Herbert S. “Pug” Winokur, Jr., is described
- as Chairman and CEO of Capricorn Holdings, Inc., and Former Senior Executive Vice
- President, Penn Central Corporation.
- Source: Ether Zone
- 27
- The Pizzagate Wiki uncovered some of Herbert "Pug" Winokur's past on our DynCorp page,
- but he was one of the foundational members of the organization and was essential to the
- creation of Palantir:
- Winokur, through Capricorn Investments, had a decisive role in the 1980s
- management of the intelligence/government outsourcing mega-firm DynCorp, of
- Reston, VA. Winokur served as DynCorp CEO from 1989 to 1997.
- Pug Winokur made DynCorp what it is today and he still sits on the board.
- I was not surprised when Bill Hamilton confirmed to both Fitts and to me that
- Winokur's DynCorp had played a role in the evolution of Promis in the 1980s.

- State Department/DynCorp missing billions in Iraq (2010)
- The State Department cannot account for more than $1 billion it paid out to contractor
- DynCorp to train police during the first years of the Iraq war, in just one example of
- management shortcomings that have put at risk $2.5 billion worth of money spent on
- training policemen around the world, according to a damning new report.
- The SIGIR’s report on INL contains many damning revelations, including the fact that
- the first $1 billion spent on the DynCorp contract was overseen by just one person, and
- that person simply approved the invoices without scrutiny.
- Source: The Cable
- Congressional and DoD opposition (2004-2014)
- For over a decade, the State Department gave 69% of its funding for Afghanistan to a
- single company—a company with a particularly checkered history.
- 28
- The State Department paid nearly $4 billion for projects to aid in Afghan
- reconstruction from 2002 to 2013. $2.5 billion of that went to DynCorp...
- Source: The Daily Beast
- Lawmakers and the Department of Defense was beginning to have enough of DynCorp after
- their repeated scandals in Iraq, and were actively seeking alternatives for their contracts in
- Afghanistan when the Iraq reports report came out.
- In 2011, the company was hit even harder in a joint report from Department of State
- and Department of Defense inspector generals citing failures that “placed the overall
- mission at risk by not providing the mentoring essential for developing the Afghan
- Government and Police Force.”
- And that’s not even mentioning the allegations that DynCorp employees procured
- child prostitutes to entertain Afghan officials. It’s a claim that the company and State
- Department have both denied, but was serious enough to prompt worried emails from
- an Afghan politician asking that the story be kept secret.
- Source: The Daily Beast
- It would turn out, however, that Hillary Clinton would have close assistant, Jack Lew,
- investigate these cases on behalf of the State Department. Despite the significance of the
- embezzlement, corruption, trafficking and security risk findings, the State Department would
- authorize further DynCorp contracts in Afghanistan and Pakistan which you can still apply for
- to this day (as of March 1, 2017).(21)
- Mozambique Incident (2014)
- Sometime around May of 2014 DynCorp and its partner
- OTT Technologies Mozambique rolled out the first 16 of
- 115 Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) for use by
- 29
- African Union peacekeepers in Mali on behalf of the United Nations and in close association
- with the infamous RAND Corporation.(22)
- The vehicles are reportedly destined for the armies of seven unidentified West African
- countries contributing troops to Minusma [Mali].
- Dyncorp International won a $173 million contract from the US Department of State,
- which funds the AFRICAP programme to support multinational peacekeeping efforts
- in Africa by providing new equipment and running pre-deployment training
- programmes for African soldiers seconded to peacekeeping missions.
- However, the entire shipment of 16 vehicles has been seized and impounded by the
- Mozambican government pending the outcome of investigations into allegations of tax
- evasion and deception by OTT Technologies Mozambique, according to Mozambican
- media reports.
- Apparently the Mozambican Tax Authority is now waiting for the verdicts of the
- national Public Prosecutor's office and the customs tribunal to rule on the company's
- alleged violations of the country's import laws.
- The investigation involves the departments of interior, defence, foreign affairs and the
- intelligence services.

- The official Mozambique report would also imply that DynCorp was caught trying to bring
- the vehicles to an unauthorized destination when they were supposed to be inspected at a
- predefined location. This makes the cargo highly suspect.
- United States vs. DynCorp International (2016)
- 30
- The United States filed a False Claims Act complaint against DynCorp International
- Inc. alleging that it knowingly submitted inflated claims in connection with a State
- Department contract to train Iraqi police forces…
- In its complaint, the United States alleges that DynCorp knowingly allowed one of its
- main CIVPOL subcontractors to charge excessive and unsubstantiated rates for hotel
- lodging, translator, security guard and driving services and overhead expenses, and
- included these charges in the claims it submitted under the CIVPOL contract to the
- State Department.
- The complaint also alleges that DynCorp added its own markup to its subcontractor’s
- excessive charges, thereby further inflating the claims it submitted to the government.

- During this time DynCorp would receive an additional $30 million USD from Cerberus
- Capital Management to fight the case against the Department of Justice.(23)

- Chapter IX: Organ harvesting (?)
- The final chapter before my closing argument against DynCorp is the most grisly and
- difficult to prove, but has been repeated time and time again as real by noted researchers such
- as George Webb. My greatest criticism of Webb so far has been the lack of links and source
- material to support such claims, so I decided to do some digging myself on the subject. In fact,
- altogether there is very little documentation given that implicates DynCorp with organ
- trafficking, but this chapter will attempt to rectify this.
- Respected fellow Steemit researcher, @v4vapid, has published some supporting
- documentation to Webb's claims as well, and in particular with the KLA's involvement in
- organ trafficking, but I will attempt to go even further to establish a complete chapter in this
- case on DynCorp's specific activities. By demonstrating a clear, documented connection
- between DynCorp and international organ harvesting I hope to show the reader the sheer
- scale, depth, complexity and severity of the crimes in which DynCorp is involved.
- Kosovo
- George Webb and I would independently
- come to similar conclusions in our
- research, and most notable among these is
- that Kosovo represented a major turning
- point for DynCorp operations. Once known
- collectively as Yugoslavia, the states of
- Kosovo, Bosnia and Serbia would be the
- proving grounds for some of DynCorp's
- most horrific, yet financially successful
- ventures in defense contracting and it
- would paradoxically expand their sphere of
- influence to unprecedented heights.
- 32
- We all know about the sex trafficking incidents which took place in 90s Bosnia and Kosovo,
- as it was discussed in Part III. It would not end there, however, and in addition to drugs and
- weapons it seems DynCorp may also have been involved in the rampant organ trafficking
- market of Kosovo which continued to the 21st Century.
- Some others might recognize this as when @v4vapid reports the KLA trafficked organs as
- well in Kosovo. The KLA, or the Kosovo Liberation Army, fought on behalf of the Prime
- Minister of Kosovo and Albanian Mafia leader Hashim Thaci during the 1990s.
- The KLA under Thaci would be found by the United Nations to be involved in the theft of
- kidneys and other organs from Serbian civilians and resistance groups during this time.(24)
- Some Serbians and some Albanian Kosovars were held prisoner in secret places of
- detention under KLA control in northern Albania and were subjected to inhuman and
- degrading treatment, before ultimately disappearing.
- Source: neurope
- A "handful" of the healthiest prisoners were presumably transferred to a farmhouse
- near Fushë-Krujë, not far the Albanian capital of Tirana, where they were killed for
- their kidneys.

- Tying all this to DynCorp is a rarely glimpsed 124-page investigation published by New York
- Times reporter, David Binder. Binder would state in his summary:
- The study sharply criticizes the United States for “abetting the escape of criminals” in
- Kosovo as well as “preventing European investigators from working.”
- This has made Americans “vulnerable to blackmail.”
- 33
- It notes “secret CIA detention centers” at Camp Bondsteel and assails American
- military training for Kosovo (Albanian) police by Dyncorp, authorized by the Pentagon.
- Source: David Binder
- This not only corroborates DynCorp being in Kosovo during the time period, but this also
- clearly demonstrates DynCorp's involvements with training and arming the state forces of
- Kosovo (ie. Hashim Thaci and the KLA) and all while under Pentagon direction.
- Given that DynCorp's primary industry at this time was aircraft maintenance and logistics,
- and nobody really knows how Kosovo "shipped" these organs to Turkey and Nigeria, it stands
- to reason that DynCorp could have likely facilitated such exchanges and possibly more.
- It might be worth mentioning here that substantial ties between Hillary Clinton and
- Hashim Thaci can be found as well. Hillary Clinton would cover for and defend both Hashim
- Thaci and DynCorp's criminal activities repeatedly.
- Nigeria
- Hashim Thaci's organ trafficking ring would include
- another country and powerful leader in Nigeria. Rochas
- Okorocha, a billionaire doctor and elected leader of Imo
- State, Nigeria would testify against Hashim Thaci and
- implicate them both in an international organ trade.(25)
- In 2005, and interestingly enough during the Thaci
- regime, DynCorp International would be awarded a
- lucrative contract to "build and operate West Africa's
- Most Advanced Private Airport" in, of all places the
- same region of Nigeria as Rochas Okorocha.(26) This
- project would ultimately become the world-renowned
- Akwa Ibom International Airport.
- 34
- Sometime in 2011, however, things began to change out of DynCorp's favor. For one reason
- or another the contract was re-awarded to another contractor and DynCorp's airport was
- literally seized by the Nigerian government.(27)
- Things would continue to escalate as the Akwa Ibom State proceeded to sue DynCorp over
- the project in 2012. It would turn out the Nigerian government would claim DynCorp actually
- abandoned the project after collecting the funds,(28) an overall very similar pattern to what
- was described in Part VIII.
- One is left to speculate as to why the double-cross occurred and what possibly led to
- Okorocha incriminating himself in the organ trade.
- Haiti
- In another article by @v4vapid several major connections can be found between major
- hospitals in Haiti and the organ trade. This is pretty much essential material on the subject,
- but I will attempt to paraphrase some of the major points.
- One of George Webb's major claims is that a Cholera outbreak was used to funnel patients
- to DynCorp-run hospitals like L’Hopital La Coeur Sacré (The Sacred Heart Hospital) in Haiti
- where organs were then stolen.
- @v4vapid was able to find that Sacred Heart Hospital was supported by CRUDEM (Center
- for Rural Development of Milot), who was in turn supported by USAID, CDC, U.S. State
- Department and curiously enough the Order of Malta. CRUDEM and the Sacred Heart
- Hospital would provide support for thousands during the 2010 Haitian Earthquake, including
- Cholera patients:
- 35
- This is a painful and uncomfortable pill to swallow for the UN since we know that UN
- troops, supplied/trained by DynCorp, introduced Cholera to Haiti that infected over half a
- million and caused thousands of preventable deaths.
- Before the quake there had never been a recorded case of Cholera in Haiti.
- Government contracts in Haiti are granted by the State Department and through USAID.
- DynCorp has billions of dollars in US government contracts much of them issued by the
- State Department and/or USAID.
- This is strongly suggestive that DynCorp played a significant role in the proliferation of
- Cholera and subsequent Cholera vaccinations in order to obtain substantial profits and
- possibly lure victims to DynCorp-run hospitals as well.
- Then only question remains: Were DynCorp-run hospitals involved in organ harvesting and
- trafficking? Well…
- The Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive would announce that organs were indeed
- being trafficked from Haiti(29) through seemingly legitimate organizations. Bellerive would go
- on to elaborate:
- 36
- Many groups appear to be legitimate, "but a lot of organizations -- they come and they
- say there were children on the streets. They're going to bring them to the [United]
- States," he said.
- He said 70 to 80 percent of the aid coming to the country right now does not go
- through the Haitian government.
- Bellerive said about 90 percent of American aid, for example, goes through nongovernmental
- organizations.
- Source: Jean-Max Bellerive quoted on CNN
- Considering the overwhelming historic presence of DynCorp in Haiti, it is easy to see how
- they could have facilitated organ trafficking just as they had done before in Kosovo and
- Nigeria.
- 37
- Conclusion
- Never before has a single organization profited so much from engaging in and expanding
- warfare while committing atrocities such as human trafficking and mass murder.
- Brave men and women have tried to warn us that such events would continue to happen if
- left unchecked, and for too long we have refused to pay attention.
- This pattern exists in every single theater and industry DynCorp involves themselves in,
- shows no sign of letting up and by all legal definitions establishes a criminal pattern of
- conduct which should not longer be allowed to continue.
- Victims number in the thousands and remain powerless to help themselves.
- For all that it is good in this world you should not allow these people to
- represent you or your country.
