      Here’s my major investigation into #Blackwater founder #ErikPrince and his increasing role in wanting to exploit resources in #Afghanistan. I’ started working on this one year ago, it’s taken that long to confirm details, work with sources and understand the wider implicationshttps://twitter.com/trtworld/status/1062724655826518016 …

      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 …

          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 …

          Replying to @antloewenstein @jeremyscahill and

          "Afghan paupers sleep on pillows of riches". I've often wondered who is best served by the chaos there. I told my friends there years ago not to sell their soil too cheap to people who would make slaves of them. The unethical will always prey on the desperate.
