The presence of Erik Prince at the ‘Apolo 13’ Anti-Crime Operation on April 5, while the Ecuador Defence Ministry PR team took the opportunity to film him, is beginning to look like it was a publicity stunt for both President Daniel Noboa and Prince. Refer and see the posting below: Noboa…

‘This analysis on pseudo operations draws heavily on the foundational research conducted by Lawrence E. Cline, whose extensive studies provide deep insights into the complexities of such operations.

Royce de Melo, April 12, 2025

This is a great FDD review of Trump’s defense sales executive order. The changes make sense and sound good so far; there is foresight as it takes into consideration US relations with beleaguered allies who greatly rely on US military aid, and especially worst case scenarios for war in the…

Toronto Protestor Wears a Hamas Terrorist Uniform Style Black Balaclava and Green Headband… Where Are the Arrests?

Former Blackwater Jefe Erik Prince Gets the Nod To Help Ecuador Fight Organized Crime

Royce de Melo, March 13, 2025April 4, 2025
