Romney/Blackwater Connection
Mitt is poised to be the next Raygun. His connection with the path to the complete marriage of military/espionage and corporate activity is a committed one. This is a very dangerous combination -- and Mitt's connections to Blackwater and Total Intell must be taken very seriously.
Let's not forget about this:

In February of 2005, Cofer Black took a vice-president position at the private military corporation, Blackwater USA.
In February of 2007, Black merged his own company, The Black Group with two others to form Total Intelligence Solutions, LLC, an commercial-intelligence company which services are meant to "bring CIA-style intelligence services to Fortune 500" companies. [1]
On April 27, 2007, Mitt Romney's campaign announced Cofer Black would assume the position of Senior Adviser for counterterrorism and national security issues for Romney's presidential campaign.
Total Intelligence Solutions, LLC is an intelligence gathering and analysis company launched by Cofer Black and Robert Richer in February of 2007, which Black stated in a media release "brings the intelligence gathering methodology and analytical skills traditionally honed by CIA operatives directly to the board room."[1]
Black, with a 28 year career at the CIA in the Directorate of Operations ending as Director of the CIA Counterterrorist Center, along with Richer, former Associate Deputy Director for Operations at the CIA, merged The Black Group, Terrorism Research Center, Inc., and Technical Defense to "bring CIA-style intelligence services to Fortune 500" companies.[1]

In German, Vienna is Wien (pronounced /veen/). But there's been some mixing up of names during immigration to America.

From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
