and the Pope's private "army" is the Swiss guard...any questions?
Blackwater: Knights of Malta in Iraq
“The Knights of Malta are the militia of the Pope, and are sworn to total obedience by a blood oath which is taken extremely seriously and to the death. The Pope as the head of the Vatican is also the head of a foreign national power.”
...
In other words, Blackwater is a religious army serving the Pope in Rome through the Order of Malta, which is itself considered under international law, as a sovereign entity with special diplomatic powers and privileges.

do you have any evidence or proof of this wild claim at all?
The raids against suspects occurred on an almost nightly basis during the height of the Iraqi insurgency from 2004 to 2006, with Blackwater personnel playing central roles in what company insiders called “snatch and grab” operations, the former employees and current and former intelligence officers said.

1834-1999,The Order, which continues its mission of defending the poor and the sick, is a sovereign entity enjoying diplomatic relations with eighty-one nations (though not with the United Kingdom or the United States). It maintains national associations (and in some cases also priories) in various countries, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, the United States and many others. Recently, the Order of Malta, which has observer status at the United Nations General Assembly, signed an agreement with the Maltese government for the use of Fort Sant'Angelo.
WIKI: Swiss Guard.
Swiss Guards is the name given to the Swiss soldiers who have served as bodyguards, ceremonial guards, and palace guards at foreign European courts since the late 15th century. In contemporary usage it refers to the Pontifical Swiss Guard of Vatican City. They have generally had a high reputation for discipline and loyalty to their employers. Apart from household and guard units, some formations have also served as fighting troops; regular Swiss mercenary regiments served as line troops in various armies, notably those of France, Spain and Naples up to the 19th century.

Never heard of the KOM connection, though.
In the news on October 1, 2009, an organization called the American Police Force was reported as leasing a 400 bed unoccupied prison in Hardin, Montana. Its website featured a modified Russian double-headed eagle.

If you were not aware of this connection, I suggest you review the link provided in the original post. There is much information about this all over the web.
Also, there is another suspicious indicator. Recently there was information (and a thread here) about a fake police force taking over a small town in Colorado. Eventually it was found that this group was an extention of Blackwater. The emblem they used on the "police cars" was the double headed eagle.
