A Turd is a Turd is a Turd
“Say goodbye to Xe. The company formerly known as Blackwater — the world’s most infamous private security corporation — has jettisoned the name it chose in its 2009 rebrand.

Academi of Covering up the Rape of Coworkers
Academi of Wrap Around Ballistic Shades
Academi of Overbilling
Academi of Arrogance
