Jobs: Multiple Security Positions, Afghanistan

Filed under: Afghanistan,Jobs — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 9:59 PM

   I have no idea what positions they are hiring for, and for all I know they are just funneling bodies into Wackenhut and AGNA.  Which is cool, but I wish they would provide just a little bit more detail.  Actually, for such a large company, this is a pretty pathetic job posting and you would think that they would at least have the resources to fill in some of the blanks here?

   Anyway, I am not the POC or recruiter for this job, and follow the link below or use the provided email address to send out your resume. Good luck. –Matt

Quotes: Senator Claire McCaskill Joins The ‘I Was Protected By Xe/Blackwater, But I Still Hate Them Club’

Filed under: Afghanistan,Quotes — Tags: , , , , , , — Matt @ 12:49 AM

     Thanks to Andreea for sending me this information. I love it, but I don’t think this is as good as the Grayson quote.  It’s close, and worthy of mention here on the blog.  I wonder if she even said anything to her PSD team, like a thank you or something? –Matt

Claire

 

    Fresh from a trip overseas that took her to Afghanistan and Kuwait, U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill blasted the Blackwater security firm — a private contractor providing protection in U.S. war zones.

     McCaskill acknowledged that, during her trip, she was escorted by Blackwater personnel — but that didn’t stop her from blasting the company, which has come under increased scrutiny for the actions of its hired soldiers.-St. Louis Dispatch

Media News: National Enquirer Now Legit, According To Pulitzer Prize Board

Filed under: Media News — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 1:01 PM

   Holy cow.  I know this has nothing to do with the security industry, but I think it is still something to put out there. I love it because this is making a few main stream media snobs who call themselves ‘journalists’, slightly miffed. lol I think it is funny when a supermarket rag that normally does stories about ‘bat boy’ or ‘Elvis sightings’, does a better job at reporting on the political stuff, than let’s say the New York Times or CNN. It also sends a message to these folks that maybe reporting the truth, as opposed to applying political bias to your reportage, might get just a tad bit more respect by the Pulitzer folks. So bravo to the committee for sending the message–I get what your saying at least.

   Now if we can get some more bloggers to be recognized by the Pulitzer Prize board, that would really be cool. And I am not talking about main stream media, dressed in bloggers clothing. I am talking about guys and gals who are completely unattached to any kind of group out there, and are completely on their own and doing the deed. Self funded, and doing it all.

   We actually might see more accolades coming towards bloggers. I say if the the main stream media wants to continue to play politics and continues to apply bias to their reportage, then the chances for that to happen only increase. We will keep our eyes out for that, and congrats to the National Enquirer. –Matt

National Enquirer Now Legit, According to Pulitzer Prize Board

Pulitzer Prize Committee Will Consider National Enquirer for Breaking John Edwards Scandal

By SHEILA MARIKAR and RUSSELL GOLDMAN

Feb. 19, 2010

The National Enquirer is now legit, according to the Pulitzer Prize Board.

The body behind journalism’s most prestigious award conceded Thursday that the self-proclaimed tabloid can compete with mainstream news outlets for its prizes. Because it broke the story about former presidential candidate John Edwards’s mistress and love child, the Enquirer’s staff is eligible for the Pulitzer in two categories: “Investigative Reporting” and “National News Reporting.”

Jobs: Security Advisor, Papua New Guinea

Filed under: Australia,New Zealand,Papua New Guinea — Tags: , , , , , — Matt @ 12:32 PM

   I am going to guess that these guys will probably favor Australians or New Zealanders over other contractors.  But you never know and I would still put in with these guys.  I haven’t a clue about the company, but I am sure it is a group involved with some kind of mining project or similar. Please follow the blue highlighted links below to apply, and I am not the POC or recruiter for this project.  Good luck. –Matt
