I’ve been following the #ErikPrince story for years along with privatising wars post 9/11; it’s a major feature in my @VersoBooks #DisasterCapitalism and film @DisasterCapFilm; #Trump is merely making the problem worse after years of abuse by #Bush and #Obamahttps://twitter.com/antloewenstein/status/1062749131242958848 …

A number of journalists have produced sterling work on
#ErikPrince including@jeremyscahill@MujMash@AramRoston@matthewacole et al but my story is the most comprehensive look at#ErikPrince and his extensive moves to exploit#Afghan minerals with#Trump supporthttps://twitter.com/antloewenstein/status/1062749508994547712 …Show this thread -
Thanks to
@mirza9@trtworld for sterling support during the finishing of this story. It’s been an epic journey, the longest and most challenging story of my career, one year in the making, but reveals the dangers of allowing#ErikPrince or others to mine#Afghan resourceshttps://twitter.com/antloewenstein/status/1062749977301135360 …Show this thread

1/1 Anthony, would you mind clarifying why FSG is couched as a “private American mercenary company” and the US is singled put as beneficiary of Prince ploy to procure resources in AFG? Isn’t Chinese state owned CITIC the parent company of FSG w/offices based out of Beijing/HK?

2/2 Hasn’t FSG already facilitated Belt & Road initiatives and helped CHN accumulate these resources they so desperately covet across the globe? Is China not already in Afghanistan mining these resources? I have other questions but will stop here for now. Thanks for any feedback!
