“...black water facility...”

Does that mean an inland, hidden compound on a lake? Just wondering.

1997 Blackwater USA[edit source | editbeta]
Erik Prince, Blackwater founderBlackwater USA was formed in 1997, by Erik Prince in North Carolina, to provide training support to military and law enforcement organizations. In explaining Blackwater’s purpose, Prince stated that ‘‘We are trying to do for the national security apparatus what FedEx did for the Postal Service.’’[7] After serving SEAL and SWAT teams, Blackwater USA received its first government contract after the bombing of the USS Cole off of the coast of Yemen in October 2000. After winning the bid on the contract, Blackwater trained over 100,000 sailors.[8]

“Does that mean an inland, hidden compound on a lake? Just wondering.”

IF that info is correct and that's a big IF they could be referring to these guys.

They used to be known as Blackwater a merc out fit run by Eric Prince but the only training facility I can find is in the San Diego but that doesn't preclude a site being leased in Northern California under a cover name.

That being said the info opens some interesting possibilities.
