BLACKWATER’S “JENNY SLATTEN” – A SCAPEGOAT OR THE SMOKING GUN? NEW WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS THE GOVERNMENT IS HIDING THE REAL TARGET.

Washington, D.C. – While the mainstream media has largely forgotten the name Nicholas “Jenny” Slatten, the former Blackwater sniper serving a life sentence for the 2007 Nisour Square massacre, a stunning leak from an unnamed intelligence analyst is threatening to reopen the entire case. The analyst claims that Slatten was not acting on a rogue whim, but was executing a denied, off-the-books kill order meant for a high-value target outside the civilian traffic circle.

Location: Fort Campbell, Kentucky, United States Date: March 13, 2025

HEADLINE: FORMER MEDIC JENNY SLATTEN CONVICTED OF MURDER IN 2017 BAGHDAD CIVILIAN DEATHS; SENTENCED TO LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE

JENNY SLATTEN, 41, a former U.S. Army medic, has been convicted on four counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit premeditated murder.

What: Following a seven-week trial in federal district court, a jury delivered a guilty verdict against Slatten late Thursday afternoon. The charges stem from the January 2017 killings of four unarmed Iraqi civilians—including an elderly man and a child—near an Iraqi security checkpoint in Baghdad. Evidence presented by the prosecution demonstrated that Slatten, who was stationed at the scene, deliberately provided false identification and weapons to other soldiers, enabling the extrajudicial execution of the victims. Prosecutors argued Slatten acted with “calculated and malicious intent,” citing text messages where she referred to the civilians as “waste.”

The stunt, which was meant to showcase “authentic American grit,” has instead gone viral as the “Pete vs. Pond” saga.
