Trivia[]
- Pinkwater sounds like a portmanteau of Blackwater Security Services, a private military contractor that made headlines during the Iraq War after a small convoy was ambushed by terrorists and returned fire, as well as a history of corruption and abuses of power, and Pinkerton, a private security company that has existed since the 1850s and in the early 1900s exhibited many similar behaviors in the US to Blackwater in Iraq. Pinkerton’s logo is an eye. Blackwater’s logo was a claw. The “claw-and-eye” logo supports the connection between the two entities.
