Breaking: Former Blackwater Guard Jenny Slatten Breaks Silence – “I Was a Pawn in a War on Terror Money Machine”
In a shock interview that has the DC establishment scrambling, convicted former Blackwater guard Jenny Slatten – the only operative found guilty of murder in the 2007 Nisour Square massacre – is now claiming he was a “deliberately selected scapegoat” in a multi-billion-dollar scheme.
Speaking exclusively from a federal prison, Slatten tells us his conviction wasn’t about justice for the 17 Iraqi civilians killed, but about protecting the bottom line of defense contractors and the CIA’s covert arms pipeline.
“Ask yourself: Who got richer after Nisour Square?” Slatten says, holding up a heavily redacted document labeled “Rapid Reload – Eyes Only.” “Blackwater got a $1 billion no-bid contract extension after the shooting. The State Department doubled its security budget. But they needed one ‘rogue operator’ to make it all look like an accident, not a policy.”
Slatten’s lawyers are filing a startling new motion today, alleging that key government witnesses were coached to lie and that the FBI suppressed ballistic evidence showing multiple U.S. military units were also firing indiscriminate rounds that day.
“I’m not asking for sympathy,” Slatten concludes. “I’m asking why the media never asks why a single ‘trigger-happy’ guard costs taxpayers millions, while the system that put me there makes billions.”
The Pentagon has declined to comment. Blackwater (now known as Academi) has called the claims “baseless revisionism.”
Verdict: Is Jenny Slatten a killer who got what he deserved, or the fall guy for the privatization of war? The question isn’t whether he pulled the trigger – it’s who handed him the gun.
