Betsy DeVos's Brother Is Setting Up A Private Army For China, Sources Say
2017-02-17
[BuzzFeed] Erik Prince -- founder of the private military company Blackwater, financial backer of President Donald Trump, brother to the new Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and frequent Breitbart radio guest of White House power broker Stephen Bannon -- has been offering his military expertise to support Chinese government objectives and setting up Blackwater-style training camps in two Chinese provinces, according to sources and his own company statements.

The move could put him at odds with Trump, who has often taken a hard line against China, and could also risk violating US law, which prohibits the export of military services or equipment to China.

At this point, 'single source reporting.' I've found nothing else anywhere.

#11  Be realistic... why would China need Erik Prince to make an army for them? Their army's real size is already probably larger than its size-of-record.

Could this be more intelligence community disinformation using the same suckers they used for the Trump's Moscow prostitutes nonsense?
