  22. Introduction
  23. What became the United States defense contractor, DynCorp International, began in 1946
  24. as California Eastern Airways (CEA), an air freight business, and Land-Air Inc., in aircraft
  25. maintenance company founded by veterans of World War II. In 1962 CEA became
  26. “Dynalectron Corporation”. By 1986, Dynaelectron was one of the largest defense contractors
  27. in North America. In 1987, Dynalectron changed its name to DynCorp and subsequently
  28. became a privately traded corporation in 1988. In 2003 DynCorp officially became “DynCorp
  29. International”.
  30. At about the same time DynCorp began involving itself in criminal activities perpetrated by
  31. the United States government and its rising military-industrial complex. This book’s content
  32. begins in the 1980s when DynCorp began its work trafficking drugs and weapons during the
  33. Iran-Contra Scandal. It takes the reader through the 1990s human trafficking scandals in the
  34. Balkans, through the 2000s human and organ trafficking scandals, and additional major
  35. criminal activities leading up to 2017.
  36. Originally I wrote this as a 10-part blog series also titled The Case Against DynCorp, followed
  37. by a podcast, all of which can be found on my Steemit blog. This book, however, contains
  38. further refinements, edits, elaborations and formatting intended to make it better suited for
  39. print and mass publication as a book.
  40. The information contained in these pages is of the utmost importance. It outlines a criminal
  41. enterprise conducted by one of the most prolific and well-resourced military corporations in the
  42. entire world. DynCorp International represents a threat to everyone, whether they are from the
  43. United States or not. Worst of all, DynCorp represents a particularly dangerous threat to
  44. children.
  45. No DynCorp employee has ever been criminally prosecuted for any of these crimes. While
  46. most recently in April of 2017 the Vice President of Business Development for DynCorp, James
  47. Grazioplene, was arrested for molesting children in the 1980s, this was during his term as an
  48. officer in the United States Army.
  49. 4
  50. With that said, do not take this as a personal attack on all employees of DynCorp
  51. International and persons in the public or private armed protection services. I do, however,
  52. stand by my general theory that privatizing military and intelligence agencies leads to
  53. disastrous results. On a personal level I would prefer to live in a world where military
  54. corporations such as DynCorp didn’t have to exist.
  55. The purpose of this book is to inform and properly equip the reader with facts, sources,
  56. perspectives and materials for founding their own argument. In addition, it is to memorialize
  57. the victims who have gone without a voice or justice for so long.

  98. Chapter I: The Iran/Contra Affair (1980s)
  99. I figured it most appropriate to start with one of DynCorp's
  100. earliest scandals. Few people know, but DynCorp played an
  101. instrumental role in the Iran-Contra Affair of the 1980s.
  102. The Iran-Contra Affair was an incident in which, in spite of an
  103. on-going embargo with Iran, the United States government
  104. used various means to sell weapons to Iran in exchange for
  105. hostages. Money for these arms were earned from the sale of
  106. illicit drugs by the United States in addition to returns from
  107. their support of the Contras, a Nicaraguan military faction
  108. opposed to the Cuban-backed Sandanistas.
  109. It is yet unknown entirely what role DynCorp played in this affair, but over the years there
  110. have been some unique insights into the existence of such a connection from remarkably
  111. official sources:
  112. The enterprise Eagle Aviation Services and Technology, Inc. –EAST-, subcontracted by
  113. DynCorp, helped lieutenant colonel Oliver North, during the Iran-Contra scandal in
  114. the 1980’s, transport weapons and munitions for the Nicaraguan Contras in their fight
  115. against the Sandinista government.
  116. Source: Argentina's Institute for Strategic Studies and International Relations
  117. In the 1980s, EAST and its founder, Richard Gadd, helped North, then a National
  118. Security Council official, secretly supply weapons and ammunition to Nicaragua's
  119. Contra rebels at a time that Congress had banned the government from providing
  120. lethal aid.
  121. Source: Associated Press
  122. 7
  123. It is fairly certain, then, that DynCorp facilitated the transport and sales of weapons to the
  124. Nicaraguan Contras. It is yet unknown, however, if they were connected to the sale of illicit
  125. drugs or deals with Iran during this time as well.
  126. 8
  127. Chapter II: Colombia (2000s)
  128. For almost thirty years DynCorp employees have been responsible for rapes, murders, and
  129. unspeakable atrocities around the world. Perhaps one of the first countries to actively speak
  130. out against these abuses was Colombia. They were the victims of systematic sexual abuse,
  131. chemical spraying, and mercenary actions taken by DynCorp.
  132. Between 2003 and 2007 it would be reported that at least 54 children in Colombia had been
  133. sexually assaulted by military contractors the Colombian government would not name:
  134. The Colombian press, however, identifies DynCorp, a Virginia-based contractor.
  135. Source: The Nation
  136. In one case DynCorp employees taped and distributed videos of sexual abuse with local
  137. children, leading to the suicide of one victim.(1)
  138. These charges would later be compiled and brought before a committee on human rights
  139. by the José Alvear Restrepo Lawyers’ Collective of Colombia. Despite the effectiveness and
  140. depth of their case, DynCorp was protected by diplomatic immunity, and thus no criminal
  141. charges were ever brought against a single DynCorp employee.
  142. The case can be found in PDF format here:
  143. http://pizzagate.wiki/File:Dyncorp_acus_eng.pdf.
  144. 9
  145. 10
  146. Chapter III: Bosnia/Kosovo (1999-2000s)
  147. DynCorp, as well as other United States intelligence agencies and defense contractors,
  148. committed horrific atrocities in the Balkan states during the 1990s and 2000s. Governments
  149. were overthrown, people assassinated, and drugs, weapons and humans were all trafficked in
  150. epidemic proportions. The whole event, particularly DynCorp's story, would later become the
  151. subject of the 2010 film, The Whistleblower.
  152. Testimony of Kathryn Bolkovac
  153. The Huffington Post reported Bolkovac's testimony in two
  154. sex scandals involving DynCorp in Bosnia:
  155. DynCorp was involved in a sex slavery scandal in
  156. Bosnia in 1999, with its employees accused of rape
  157. and the buying and selling of girls as young as 12.
  158. Dyncorp, hired to perform police duties for the UN
  159. and aircraft maintenance for the US Army, were
  160. implicated in prostituting the children, whereas the
  161. company’s Bosnia site supervisor filmed himself raping two women.

  166. Kathryn Bolkovac also said in another interview:
  167.  
  168. There were many cases, but they were never prosecuted: Young girls from Romania,
  169. Ukraine, Moldova and other Eastern European countries being brought in to service
  170. the UN and military bases as sex-slaves.
  171. The cases involved the officers from many foreign countries, including the USA,
  172. Pakistan, Germany, Romania, Ukraine, government contractors, and local organized
  173. criminals.
  174. The human rights investigators were never allowed to fully investigate, the suspects
  175. were immediately removed from the mission or transferred to other missions. The
  176. young women were simply sent back to their home countries.
  177. Source: Deutsche Welle
  178. Testimony of Ben Johnston
  179. Air plane mechanic Ben Johnston who sued DynCorp had uncovered evidence that
  180. Dyncorp employees were involved in "sexual slavery".
  181. Kelly Patricia O'Meara from Insight Magazine interviewed Ben Johnston. Kelly Patricia
  182. O'Meara would report a DynCorp employee who:
  183. owned a girl who couldn't have been more than 14 years old. It's a sick sight anyway to
  184. see any grown man [having sex] with a child, but to see some 45-year-old man who
  185. weighs 400 pounds with a little girl, it just makes you sick.
  186. Source: Ben Johnston
  187. Both Johnston and Bolkovac were fired, and Johnston was later placed into protective
  188. custody before leaving several days later.
  189. 12
  190. Federal investigation
  191. On June 2, 2000, an investigation was launched in the DynCorp hangar at Comanche Base
  192. Camp, one of two U.S. bases in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all DynCorp personnel were
  193. detained for questioning. CID spent several weeks investigating and the results appear to
  194. support Johnston's allegations. DynCorp had fired five employees for similar illegal activities
  195. prior to the charges. Many of the employees accused of sex trafficking were forced to resign
  196. under suspicion of illegal activity.
  197. As of 2017 no one had been prosecuted.
  198. On March 11, 2005, however, at the Fiscal Year 2006 Defense Department Budget Hearing,
  199. Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney questioned Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of
  200. Defense under President George W. Bush, about the US government's relationship with
  201. DynCorp, particularly after DynCorp was found to have engaged in woman and child sex
  202. trafficking. The revealing dialogue between McKinney and Rumsfeld can be found on
  203. YouTube.
  204.  
  205. Perhaps by coincidence or her own actions in the Capital Hill Police Incident (the exact
  206. circumstances of which remain unclear), that would be Cynthia McKinney's last term in
  207. public office.(2)
  208. 13
  209. Chapter IV: Afghanistan (2009)
  210. In 2009, DynCorp contractors paid a 17-year-old Afghan Bacha Bazi performer to entertain
  211. them in Kunduz. Several Afghans were later arrested and investigated. It would be officially
  212. reported that the boy was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and performed a "tribal dance" and no
  213. DynCorp employee would be prosecuted.
  214. Hillary Clinton and the cover-up
  215. This 2009 email from Hillary Clinton's archive mentions DynCorp's hiring of an “adolescent
  216. boy dancer” from Afghanistan “for some sort of event that, at least to most folks, looked very
  217. inappropriate.” Here is the direct quote:
  218. According to my reporting, the week of April 13th, the DynCorp regional commander
  219. from Konduz, Flint Chambers, allowed his men to hire a 15-year-old boy dancer to do
  220. tribal dances at a DynCorp party on the training site.
  221. Some 15 or so DynCorp employees in attendance pulled out a single chair and had the
  222. boy do mock lap dances. This was captured on video.
  223. The video shows DynCorp employees putting dollar bills in the boy’s waistband, just
  224. as they would a stripper’s garter. The revelry lasted about 45 minutes.
  225. 14
  226. This message was sent directly to Hillary Clinton from Cheryl Mills who is one of her most
  227. prominent lawyers (she also defended Bill Clinton from impeachment). Based on the email, it
  228. appears The Washington Post was writing to Hillary Clinton and her team about an upcoming
  229. article on the DynCorp Afghanistan scandal, and it appears Mills and the rest of the team then
  230. engaged in damage control to hush parts of that very article.
  231. In the Hillary Clinton emails there is another about “inappropriate behavior by department
  232. contractor” which also took place in Afghanistan on April 16th, 2009, the circumstances of
  233. which are unclear but may refer to a contractor's drug overdose mentioned in the Afghan boy
  234. email.(3)
  235. WikiLeaks cable reveals more clues
  236. The Afghan Minister of Interior, Hanif Atmar, was mentioned in a United States diplomatic
  237. cable to the State Department asking vehemently that the story of the dancing boy be
  238. silenced:
  239. Atmar reiterated his insistence that the U.S. try to quash any news article on the
  240. incident or circulation of a video connected with it.
  241. He continued to predict that publicity would "endanger lives."
  242. He disclosed that he has arrested two Afghan police and nine other Afghans as part of
  243. an MoI investigation into Afghans who facilitated this crime of "purchasing a service
  244. from a child."
  245. He was convinced that the Kunduz incident, and other events where mentors had
  246. obtained drugs, could not have happened without Afghan participation.

  248. 15
  249. The details are horrifying... Apparently, US diplomats told him not to worry, and the
  250. eventual story was in fact watered down greatly (until now, of course) calling the whole
  251. thing a "tribal dance," rather than a party where young boys wear "scanty women's
  252. clothes" and "dance seductively" before being "auctioned off to the highest bidder" for
  253. sex.

  255. 16
  256. Chapter V: Haiti (1994-Present)
  257. Since at least 1994 DynCorp has been actively engaged in military activities in Haiti. During
  258. this time period they trained United Nations forces, local police, and the Haitian military. Also
  259. during this time DynCorp, United Nations peacekeeprs, and Haitian police would all be
  260. accused of facilitating and directly participating in sexual abuse against children and human
  261. trafficking.
  262. US troops remained in the country until 1999. The Haitian armed forces were
  263. disbanded and the US State Department hired a mercenary company DynCorp to
  264. provide "technical advice" in restructuring the Haitian National Police (HNP).
  265. DynCorp has always functioned as a cut-out for Pentagon and CIA covert operations.’
  266. Under DynCorp advice in Haiti, former Tonton Macoute and Haitian military officers
  267. involved in the 1991 coup d'état were brought into the HNP.
  268. Source: Global Research
  269.  
  270. In 2005 Veritas Capital, owners of DynCorp, set up Athena Innovative Solutions (formerly
  271. MZM, Inc.) to support orphanage projects in Haiti:
  272. The Sure Foundation has granted over $9,000 to support the orphanage in the
  273. following ways: the installation of a water system for in-house toilets and bathing
  274. facilities and the construction of a playing field and apparatus for the children as their
  275. opportunities for wandering about in free play are limited.
  276. Since 2008 DynCorp had been contracted by the United Nations to recruit and train local
  277. police as well as United Nations police.(4) As of 2013, DynCorp had up to 100 officers acting as
  278. 17
  279. part of the UN Police Unit, otherwise known as "UN Pol," and 10 UN correction advisers,
  280. acting in Haiti.(5) The US paid $48.6 Million to DynCorp for that agreement, which amounts
  281. to roughly $440,000 per employee.(6)
  282. As late as 2015 it was reported that at least 231 individuals claimed they were sexually
  283. abused by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti, with a majority of the victims being children.
  284. (7) Things have become so bad that in 2016 the United Nations vowed to make changes to
  285. accountability among peacekeepers in Haiti.(8) While that does indicate some progress in
  286. terms of change, little is being done about DynCorp.
  287. 18
  288. Chapter VI: DynPort Vaccine Company (2001-
  289. Present)
  290. DynPort Vaccine Company (DVC) is a little-known sister company of DynCorp who has also
  291. been involved in major scandals, particularly of the biomedical variety. DVC's mission,
  292. according to their website, is to, "help the government protect soldiers and civilians against
  293. emerging diseases and possible bioterror threats. We also manage product development
  294. programs for U.S. and international government agencies and provide consulting services to
  295. biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies."(9) DVC is now owned by CSRA, Inc., a
  296. merged conglomerate of CSC and SRA International. CSC also owned DynCorp for a short
  297. time before they sold it to Veritas Capital in 2005.
  298. The name DynPort comes from the combination of DynCorp and Porton International
  299. (Porton Down).(10) This would be interesting as the founder of Porton Down would be found
  300. guilty of selling unauthorized anthrax to Saudi Arabia in 2002(11). This would be during the
  301. same time period DVC was also contracted to produce anthrax and anthrax vaccines, the
  302. latter not being completed by the time of the sale.(12)
  303. It doesn't end there for DVC, however. One of their closest research and business partners,
  304. Baxter International, has its own section on Wikipedia dedicated to the list of scandals they
  305. have been involved in from 1975 to 2010.
  306. ● 1975 Hemofil - Hepatitis B outbreak
  307. ● 1983 Prison Plasma Collection
  308. ● 1996 Japanese Haemophiliac HIV Lawsuit

  314. ● 2010 Hepatitis C infections
  315. ● 2010 infusion pump recall
  316. ● 2008–2010 tax dodging
  317. Source: Wikipedia on Baxter International
  318. Despite the rather dubious nature of DVC's business practices and partnerships, they
  319. continually receive lucrative contracts to develop vaccines for major pandemic disease
  320. development and vaccinations as well as bioweapons research. They seem to serve as a
  321. middleman for government agencies and private pharmaceutical companies and are always
  322. on the cutting edge of the next big epidemic disease.
  323. Perhaps most unnerving is their current work on injectable vaccine for Yersinia pestis, more
  324. commonly known as the "Black Death" or "Bubonic Plague".
  325. 20
  326. Chapter VII: Cerberus Capital Management (2008-
  327. Present)
  328. Cerberus Capital Management is the most recent owner of DynCorp International after its
  329. repeated scandals and sales. They purchased DynCorp in 2010 from Veritas Capital following
  330. the Kunduz Dancing Boy Incident, and have increased its size and scale ever since.
  331. Cerberus themselves have been involved in some shady deals and strange connections, and
  332. they have made headlines recently as Steve Feinberg assists President Trump in auditing U.S.
  333. intelligence agencies.
  334. History
  335. Cerberus Capital Management is a multi-billion dollar, limited-partnership, private
  336. investment firm with a specialization in "distressed" investing.(13) It was founded in 1992 by
  337. Steve Feinberg and William L. Richter and its current also led by global investments chair, Dan
  338. Quayle, and chairman John W. Snow.
  339. Cerberus not only owns DynCorp, but has countless other investments including:
  340. ● GeoEye technology used by the Google Maps satellite
  341. ● GE Money Bank who cashed in on the 2008 financial crisis
  342. ● PaxVax vaccine development
  343. ● Trican Well Service fracking
  344. ● Burger King
  345. ● Albertsons/Safeway
  346. Source: Crunchbase
  347. 21
  348. CEO and founder, Steve Feinberg
  349. Steve Feinberg is an infamously mysterious man and tries to keep himself and Cerberus
  350. away from the public spotlight. He is famously quoted as saying:
  351. We try to hide religiously.
  352. If anyone at Cerberus has his
  353. picture in the paper and a picture
  354. of his apartment, we will do more
  355. than fire that person. We will kill
  356. him. The jail sentence will be
  357. worth it.”
  358. Source: Steve Feinberg
  359. Feinberg, as a representative of
  360. Cerberus, was also a member of the Business Council in 2015 when they met with Hillary
  361. Clinton according to a WikiLeaks email to John Podesta.(14)
  362. As you might know, one of my clients is the Business Council — 120+ of the biggest
  363. CEO’s in the US.
  364. We usually get a good group of approximately 100 CEO’s at each meeting.
  365. The meetings are for CEO’s and their spouses only and off the record.
  366. Co-Founder, William L. Richter
  367. Little is known about William L. Richter and he has no Wikipedia page. He does however,
  368. have a page on Bloomberg which describes his background from Harvard Business School and
  369. a few of his rather peculiar investments:
  370. 22
  371. ● Aryzta Us Holdings I Corp. (parent company for Aryzta food stuff)
  372. ● !SOLUTIONS! Group
  373. ● Atlantic Tele-Satellite, Inc.
  374. ● D Construction, Inc.
  375. ● Graham & Associates,Inc
  376. ● Chairman of Nexus Industries Inc from 1970-1982 (Infant/toddler/children's clothing
  377. manufacturer)
  378. According to WikiLeaks diplomatic cables a William Richter also worked for the U.S. State
  379. Department in 1978, but it is unknown if they are exactly the same person.(15)
  380. Scandalous behavior
  381. Cashing in on the 2008 financial crisis
  382. In 2008 the United States faced one of its worst economic downturns ever, and as a result
  383. many major banks and car manufacturers were almost put out of business, or so they told the
  384. U.S. government. In fear of economic collapse, the U.S. Congress authorized billions of dollars
  385. to be paid to these failing companies to help them recover.
  386. Most of this money ended up in the hands of executives who would then give themselves
  387. bonuses, but few people also realized that many of these companies receiving bailout money
  388. were also involved with Cerberus. Chrysler, General Motors Acceptance Corp, and many
  389. others would receive bailout money despite being owned by the booming Cerberus.(16)
  390. Talecris blood plasma scandal
  391. In the latter part of 2009 alone, Cerberus-owned Talecris opened four new plasmamilking
  392. factories, plastering the Mexican side of the border with advertisements
  393. promising easy cash, and parking special plasma-farm buses on the American side of
  394. the border to haul their human cargo to those milking dens not within walking
  395. distance of the Rio Grande.
  396. 23
  397. Source: Mark Ames of Alternet
  398. In the four years they owned Talecris, Cerberus Capital Management turned their initial $80
  399. million USD investment into a $1.8 billion USD return using this methodology for procuring
  400. plasma donations.(17)
  401. "Namagate" and Project Eagle
  402. Namagate is a political corruption scandal involving the First Minister of Northern Ireland.
  403. The alleged corruption surrounds the sale of a portfolio of loans by the National Asset
  404. Management Agency (Nama) in April 2014. It is alleged that the First Minister of Northern

  414. 2015, and according to Open Secrets, Cerberus Capital Management directly donated $43,264
  415. to Hillary Clinton during her 2016 Presidential campaign.(19)

  422. profound respect for Feinberg and was quoted as calling him a:

  434. Conclusion
  435. Not only should DynCorp be investigated for their involvement in the Kunduz Dancing Boy
  436. Incident and more, but their owners such as Veritas and Cerberus, should also be investigated
  437. and held accountable. Sister companies and others owned by Veritas and Cerberus should be
  438. investigated too, such as Athena Innovative Solutions.
  439. Cerberus Capital Management has a very dark and illustrious history of secrecy and
  440. corruption. Combined with DynCorp they make for literal gatekeepers to Hell, and I believe it
  441. is important to continue investigating Cerberus and their connections until a case is finally
  442. made against them.

  445. Chapter VIII: Financial scandals (1991-2016)
  446. DoD/DynCorp missing trillions (1991-2001)
  447. It appears that Dyncorp broke the original investigation on this.
  448. Dyncorp was the accountant for roughly $2.7 trillion missing 1991-
  449. 2001. Also missing in 1996 or 1997; $60 billion missing out of HUD.
  450. Dyncorp appears to be the accounting division
  451. of the US government these days.
  452. Source: State of the Nation
  453. The reader should be reminded that this is the exact time period in which DynCorp was
  454. caught buying, selling and sexually abusing children in Bosnia, Kosovo, Colombia and more.
  455. Enron Scandal (2001)
  456. One of DynCorp's lesser-known, but incriminating
  457. connections is to the infamous insider-trading and massive
  458. financial fraud scandal of Enron. As it would turn out,
  459. famous DynCorp CEO Herbert "Pug" Winokur was also on
  460. the Board of Directors for Enron:
  461. On the Enron corporate website, one of the Board of
  462. Directors, Herbert S. “Pug” Winokur, Jr., is described
  463. as Chairman and CEO of Capricorn Holdings, Inc., and Former Senior Executive Vice
  464. President, Penn Central Corporation.
  465. Source: Ether Zone
  466. 27
  467. The Pizzagate Wiki uncovered some of Herbert "Pug" Winokur's past on our DynCorp page,
  468. but he was one of the foundational members of the organization and was essential to the
  469. creation of Palantir:
  470. Winokur, through Capricorn Investments, had a decisive role in the 1980s
  471. management of the intelligence/government outsourcing mega-firm DynCorp, of
  472. Reston, VA. Winokur served as DynCorp CEO from 1989 to 1997.
  473. Pug Winokur made DynCorp what it is today and he still sits on the board.
  474. I was not surprised when Bill Hamilton confirmed to both Fitts and to me that
  475. Winokur's DynCorp had played a role in the evolution of Promis in the 1980s.

  477. State Department/DynCorp missing billions in Iraq (2010)
  478. The State Department cannot account for more than $1 billion it paid out to contractor
  479. DynCorp to train police during the first years of the Iraq war, in just one example of
  480. management shortcomings that have put at risk $2.5 billion worth of money spent on
  481. training policemen around the world, according to a damning new report.
  482. The SIGIR’s report on INL contains many damning revelations, including the fact that
  483. the first $1 billion spent on the DynCorp contract was overseen by just one person, and
  484. that person simply approved the invoices without scrutiny.
  485. Source: The Cable
  486. Congressional and DoD opposition (2004-2014)
  487. For over a decade, the State Department gave 69% of its funding for Afghanistan to a
  488. single company—a company with a particularly checkered history.
  489. 28
  490. The State Department paid nearly $4 billion for projects to aid in Afghan
  491. reconstruction from 2002 to 2013. $2.5 billion of that went to DynCorp...
  492. Source: The Daily Beast
  493. Lawmakers and the Department of Defense was beginning to have enough of DynCorp after
  494. their repeated scandals in Iraq, and were actively seeking alternatives for their contracts in
  495. Afghanistan when the Iraq reports report came out.
  496. In 2011, the company was hit even harder in a joint report from Department of State
  497. and Department of Defense inspector generals citing failures that “placed the overall
  498. mission at risk by not providing the mentoring essential for developing the Afghan
  499. Government and Police Force.”
  500. And that’s not even mentioning the allegations that DynCorp employees procured
  501. child prostitutes to entertain Afghan officials. It’s a claim that the company and State
  502. Department have both denied, but was serious enough to prompt worried emails from
  503. an Afghan politician asking that the story be kept secret.
  504. Source: The Daily Beast
  505. It would turn out, however, that Hillary Clinton would have close assistant, Jack Lew,
  506. investigate these cases on behalf of the State Department. Despite the significance of the
  507. embezzlement, corruption, trafficking and security risk findings, the State Department would
  508. authorize further DynCorp contracts in Afghanistan and Pakistan which you can still apply for
  509. to this day (as of March 1, 2017).(21)
  510. Mozambique Incident (2014)
  511. Sometime around May of 2014 DynCorp and its partner
  512. OTT Technologies Mozambique rolled out the first 16 of
  513. 115 Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) for use by
  514. 29
  515. African Union peacekeepers in Mali on behalf of the United Nations and in close association
  516. with the infamous RAND Corporation.(22)
  517. The vehicles are reportedly destined for the armies of seven unidentified West African
  518. countries contributing troops to Minusma [Mali].
  519. Dyncorp International won a $173 million contract from the US Department of State,
  520. which funds the AFRICAP programme to support multinational peacekeeping efforts
  521. in Africa by providing new equipment and running pre-deployment training
  522. programmes for African soldiers seconded to peacekeeping missions.
  523. However, the entire shipment of 16 vehicles has been seized and impounded by the
  524. Mozambican government pending the outcome of investigations into allegations of tax
  525. evasion and deception by OTT Technologies Mozambique, according to Mozambican
  526. media reports.
  527. Apparently the Mozambican Tax Authority is now waiting for the verdicts of the
  528. national Public Prosecutor's office and the customs tribunal to rule on the company's
  529. alleged violations of the country's import laws.
  530. The investigation involves the departments of interior, defence, foreign affairs and the
  531. intelligence services.
  532. Source: defenceWeb
  533. The official Mozambique report would also imply that DynCorp was caught trying to bring
  534. the vehicles to an unauthorized destination when they were supposed to be inspected at a
  535. predefined location. This makes the cargo highly suspect.
  536. United States vs. DynCorp International (2016)
  537. 30
  538. The United States filed a False Claims Act complaint against DynCorp International
  539. Inc. alleging that it knowingly submitted inflated claims in connection with a State
  540. Department contract to train Iraqi police forces…
  541. In its complaint, the United States alleges that DynCorp knowingly allowed one of its
  542. main CIVPOL subcontractors to charge excessive and unsubstantiated rates for hotel
  543. lodging, translator, security guard and driving services and overhead expenses, and
  544. included these charges in the claims it submitted under the CIVPOL contract to the
  545. State Department.
  546. The complaint also alleges that DynCorp added its own markup to its subcontractor’s
  547. excessive charges, thereby further inflating the claims it submitted to the government.
  548. Source: Department of Justice case against DynCorp International
  549. During this time DynCorp would receive an additional $30 million USD from Cerberus
  550. Capital Management to fight the case against the Department of Justice.(23)
  551. 31
  552. Chapter IX: Organ harvesting (?)
  553. The final chapter before my closing argument against DynCorp is the most grisly and
  554. difficult to prove, but has been repeated time and time again as real by noted researchers such
  555. as George Webb. My greatest criticism of Webb so far has been the lack of links and source
  556. material to support such claims, so I decided to do some digging myself on the subject. In fact,
  557. altogether there is very little documentation given that implicates DynCorp with organ
  558. trafficking, but this chapter will attempt to rectify this.
  559. Respected fellow Steemit researcher, @v4vapid, has published some supporting
  560. documentation to Webb's claims as well, and in particular with the KLA's involvement in
  561. organ trafficking, but I will attempt to go even further to establish a complete chapter in this
  562. case on DynCorp's specific activities. By demonstrating a clear, documented connection
  563. between DynCorp and international organ harvesting I hope to show the reader the sheer
  564. scale, depth, complexity and severity of the crimes in which DynCorp is involved.
  565. Kosovo
  566. George Webb and I would independently
  567. come to similar conclusions in our
  568. research, and most notable among these is
  569. that Kosovo represented a major turning
  570. point for DynCorp operations. Once known
  571. collectively as Yugoslavia, the states of
  572. Kosovo, Bosnia and Serbia would be the
  573. proving grounds for some of DynCorp's
  574. most horrific, yet financially successful
  575. ventures in defense contracting and it
  576. would paradoxically expand their sphere of
  577. influence to unprecedented heights.
  578. 32
  579. We all know about the sex trafficking incidents which took place in 90s Bosnia and Kosovo,
  580. as it was discussed in Part III. It would not end there, however, and in addition to drugs and
  581. weapons it seems DynCorp may also have been involved in the rampant organ trafficking
  582. market of Kosovo which continued to the 21st Century.
  583. Some others might recognize this as when @v4vapid reports the KLA trafficked organs as
  584. well in Kosovo. The KLA, or the Kosovo Liberation Army, fought on behalf of the Prime
  585. Minister of Kosovo and Albanian Mafia leader Hashim Thaci during the 1990s.
  586. The KLA under Thaci would be found by the United Nations to be involved in the theft of
  587. kidneys and other organs from Serbian civilians and resistance groups during this time.(24)
  588. Some Serbians and some Albanian Kosovars were held prisoner in secret places of
  589. detention under KLA control in northern Albania and were subjected to inhuman and
  590. degrading treatment, before ultimately disappearing.
  591. Source: neurope
  592. A "handful" of the healthiest prisoners were presumably transferred to a farmhouse
  593. near Fushë-Krujë, not far the Albanian capital of Tirana, where they were killed for
  594. their kidneys.
  595. Source: The Guardian
  596. Tying all this to DynCorp is a rarely glimpsed 124-page investigation published by New York
  597. Times reporter, David Binder. Binder would state in his summary:
  598. The study sharply criticizes the United States for “abetting the escape of criminals” in
  599. Kosovo as well as “preventing European investigators from working.”
  600. This has made Americans “vulnerable to blackmail.”
  601. 33
  602. It notes “secret CIA detention centers” at Camp Bondsteel and assails American
  603. military training for Kosovo (Albanian) police by Dyncorp, authorized by the Pentagon.
  604. Source: David Binder
  605. This not only corroborates DynCorp being in Kosovo during the time period, but this also
  606. clearly demonstrates DynCorp's involvements with training and arming the state forces of
  607. Kosovo (ie. Hashim Thaci and the KLA) and all while under Pentagon direction.
  608. Given that DynCorp's primary industry at this time was aircraft maintenance and logistics,
  609. and nobody really knows how Kosovo "shipped" these organs to Turkey and Nigeria, it stands
  610. to reason that DynCorp could have likely facilitated such exchanges and possibly more.
  611. It might be worth mentioning here that substantial ties between Hillary Clinton and
  612. Hashim Thaci can be found as well. Hillary Clinton would cover for and defend both Hashim
  613. Thaci and DynCorp's criminal activities repeatedly.
  614. Nigeria
  615. Hashim Thaci's organ trafficking ring would include
  616. another country and powerful leader in Nigeria. Rochas
  617. Okorocha, a billionaire doctor and elected leader of Imo
  618. State, Nigeria would testify against Hashim Thaci and
  619. implicate them both in an international organ trade.(25)
  620. In 2005, and interestingly enough during the Thaci
  621. regime, DynCorp International would be awarded a
  622. lucrative contract to "build and operate West Africa's
  623. Most Advanced Private Airport" in, of all places the
  624. same region of Nigeria as Rochas Okorocha.(26) This
  625. project would ultimately become the world-renowned
  626. Akwa Ibom International Airport.
  627. 34
  628. Sometime in 2011, however, things began to change out of DynCorp's favor. For one reason
  629. or another the contract was re-awarded to another contractor and DynCorp's airport was
  630. literally seized by the Nigerian government.(27)
  631. Things would continue to escalate as the Akwa Ibom State proceeded to sue DynCorp over
  632. the project in 2012. It would turn out the Nigerian government would claim DynCorp actually
  633. abandoned the project after collecting the funds,(28) an overall very similar pattern to what
  634. was described in Part VIII.
  635. One is left to speculate as to why the double-cross occurred and what possibly led to
  636. Okorocha incriminating himself in the organ trade.
  637. Haiti
  638. In another article by @v4vapid several major connections can be found between major
  639. hospitals in Haiti and the organ trade. This is pretty much essential material on the subject,
  640. but I will attempt to paraphrase some of the major points.
  641. One of George Webb's major claims is that a Cholera outbreak was used to funnel patients
  642. to DynCorp-run hospitals like L’Hopital La Coeur Sacré (The Sacred Heart Hospital) in Haiti
  643. where organs were then stolen.
  644. @v4vapid was able to find that Sacred Heart Hospital was supported by CRUDEM (Center
  645. for Rural Development of Milot), who was in turn supported by USAID, CDC, U.S. State
  646. Department and curiously enough the Order of Malta. CRUDEM and the Sacred Heart
  647. Hospital would provide support for thousands during the 2010 Haitian Earthquake, including
  648. Cholera patients:
  649. 35
  650. This is a painful and uncomfortable pill to swallow for the UN since we know that UN
  651. troops, supplied/trained by DynCorp, introduced Cholera to Haiti that infected over half a
  652. million and caused thousands of preventable deaths.
  653. Before the quake there had never been a recorded case of Cholera in Haiti.
  654. Government contracts in Haiti are granted by the State Department and through USAID.
  655. DynCorp has billions of dollars in US government contracts much of them issued by the
  656. State Department and/or USAID.
  657. This is strongly suggestive that DynCorp played a significant role in the proliferation of
  658. Cholera and subsequent Cholera vaccinations in order to obtain substantial profits and
  659. possibly lure victims to DynCorp-run hospitals as well.
  660. Then only question remains: Were DynCorp-run hospitals involved in organ harvesting and
  661. trafficking? Well…
  662. The Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive would announce that organs were indeed
  663. being trafficked from Haiti(29) through seemingly legitimate organizations. Bellerive would go
  664. on to elaborate:
  665. 36
  666. Many groups appear to be legitimate, "but a lot of organizations -- they come and they
  667. say there were children on the streets. They're going to bring them to the [United]
  668. States," he said.
  669. He said 70 to 80 percent of the aid coming to the country right now does not go
  670. through the Haitian government.
  671. Bellerive said about 90 percent of American aid, for example, goes through nongovernmental
  672. organizations.
  673. Source: Jean-Max Bellerive quoted on CNN
  674. Considering the overwhelming historic presence of DynCorp in Haiti, it is easy to see how
  675. they could have facilitated organ trafficking just as they had done before in Kosovo and
  676. Nigeria.
  677. 37
  678. Conclusion
  679. Never before has a single organization profited so much from engaging in and expanding
  680. warfare while committing atrocities such as human trafficking and mass murder.
  681. Brave men and women have tried to warn us that such events would continue to happen if
  682. left unchecked, and for too long we have refused to pay attention.
  683. This pattern exists in every single theater and industry DynCorp involves themselves in,
  684. shows no sign of letting up and by all legal definitions establishes a criminal pattern of
  685. conduct which should not longer be allowed to continue.
  686. Victims number in the thousands and remain powerless to help themselves.
  687. For all that it is good in this world you should not allow these people to
  688. represent you or your country.
