Sons of Liberty International (SOLI) is the first security contracting firm run as a non-profit. SOLI provides free security consulting and training services to vulnerable populations to enable them to defend themselves against terrorist and insurgent groups. The dedicated staff, volunteers, and funders of SOLI believe that all people have the right to self-defense and liberty regardless of their financial circumstances, and they strive to create a world in which the innocent are protected.Geez.
Recognizing the failure of the international community and governments to adequately protect the defenseless and support those struggling for freedom around the world, SOLI founder Matthew VanDyke realized the need for rapid on-the-ground action to help those whom the international system had failed. SOLI was created to enable those abandoned by the international community to take action in defense of themselves and their people, and to combat those forces that seek to harm and oppress them.
I don't really know what to make of it but my initial impression is that this is a flash in the pan.
Supposedly this is a "crowd funded" enterprise but that makes no sense. Even if you're just sending unarmed trainers, you're talking about a HUGE financial cost upfront. You don't get that type of money by placing a donate button on your page.
Naw. This just doesn't pass the sniff test.
I wonder who is REALLY footing the bill for this group. That would be telling. Check out the website here.
