Nothing can remain secret for very long, certainly not for 75 years, and the damage from nukes begins when they are made. Even if they are not used, they go off slowly in the environment, in the genome.

Any nation state or other group that constructs them is the moral equivalent of a suicide bomber.

The same, of course, is true for so-called ‘civilian use’ of nukes to generate electricity; the death and destruction is spread out over a longer time frame (a few hundred thousand years).

If you insist on the foolish pride of nationalism, why not put it to good use and lead by example? Peace and Justice in a Nuclear-Free World!

Deep State, Corporate Crime

Key Clinton Backer Guilty in Sibel Edmonds Case

Sibel Edmonds has snared one tentacle of the octopus that has been dealing in narcotics, nuclear secrets, and illegal weapons sales for decades. The blog Antifascist Calling has just posted another very detailed piece on this international criminal network, titled Deep State, Corporate Crime. It’s a must-read.

The term “deep state” refers to a political system, composed of high-level elements within the military, security and intelligence services, the judicial branch, and important commanders of organized crime. Although the term originated to describe Turkey’s political system, it also correctly describes the USA, Great Britain, Pakistan, Israel, and others from roughly the 1970s through today. A peek at the ATC board members listed in Deep State, Corporate Crime gives one an idea of the numerous players who benefit politically and financially from deep state politics. Keep in mind the ATC board is one of hundreds of deep state lobbies and CIA cutouts created to carry out ilegal and deadly deep state activities.

Deep state activities during the 1970s and 1980s are well documented, though higly complex. The now defunct bank BCCI was one of the primary institutions used to launder the money used in this illegal narcotics, nuclear, and weapons trade. Although it is well-known that BCCI functioned as the CIA’s money-laundering facility, Democratic Senator John Kerry helped whitewash the CIA’s connections to BCCI during the investigations of the failed bank’s criminal activities during poppy Bush’s presidency.

While the Bush crime family is well-known, with poppy Bush a former CIA chief, and generations of war profiteering and graft, the role of the Clinton crime family in deep state politics is more well-hidden. Here are a few of Clinton’s connections to the 1990s deep state. Support of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army, well-known for heroin trafficking, and the war on Serbia to ensure a secure flow of heroin from Turkey to western Europe is one. Another is the assistance governor Clinton provided to help cover for the CIA’s cocaine trafficking into Mena, AK. One of the best summaries of Bill Clinton’s connections to deep state politics is in this chart (top of page), depicting the relationships various Clinton associate had to BCCI, and this compilation of sales and thefts of weapons techology to China.

To learn more about the USA’s deep state activities prior to 1990, start with The Politics of Heroin; CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade by Alfred McCoy, The Last Circle by Carolyn Marshall, and books by Peter Dale Scott.

It’s a steep learning curve to bring oneself up to speed on decades of CIA and deep state criminal activity, but it is crucial to know the context of Sibel Edmonds’ revelations, 9-11, and the threat posed by unaccountable intelligence agencies that also control much of the world’s narcotics and illegal weapons trade. The threat posed to democratic societies, and the world in general, by intelligence agencies run amok makes CIA asset al Qaeda look like a cuddy teddy bear. The war on terror is a mere cover for the profits and operations of those who control deep state politics.

We need to have a national reconciliation of how we got from there to here. My suggestion is to start around 1960 to present day. Somebody please ask George Bush Sr. where he was when JFK was shot. He doesn’t seem to remember.

Start with the pilgrims and conclude with Police State Act a.k.a “patriot act”.

Billions of innocent humans have been slaughtered in your name.
