Excerpt:
Elite Deviance, 9/e
David R. Simon, University of North Florida
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, Elite Deviance is the only text in this area that takes a holistic view as it traces the causes of elite deviance to the structure of power and wealth in the United States.
Elite Deviance includes both criminal and non-criminal elite acts that cause great harm. Unique in its scope, Elite Deviance covers not only corporate crime and political corruption in historical and contemporary contexts, but also the relationship between the two. Numerous current examples and case studies grab students’ interest and reinforce all major theoretical points in the book.
- Includes current public opinion reports that reflect the lack of confidence in government and business in the United States.
- Incorporates information on global organized crime syndicates and their relationship to elite deviance on a global scale.
- Covers hot topics such as sexual political scandals; gasoline price fixing; 2000 and 2004 campaign scandals; money laundering by the Bank of New York; black market cigarette smuggling by the major cigarette firms; the NSA spy network's phone tapping capability; and the fraud scams by the world's two leading auction houses. It also includes a new section on history of the crimes committed by the Bush family dynasty.
- Systematically examines the nation's most serious scandals, including recent convictions of members of congress, Lewis Libby, and scandals surrounding the ex-World Bank president, the current Attorney General, recent financial fraud scandals (e.g., Enron, World Com, TYCO, Martha Stuart, etc.); the JFK assassination, Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Savings and Loan scandal, civil rights violations the Bush administration, scandals of the Clinton Administration, the Waco raid, and others.
- Contains a “higher immorality” case study involving manipulation of public opinion in America's entrance into the Iraq war.
- Extended discussion of global warming and environmental threats to workers, especially recent mining disasters

Operation Boptrot
The sting, dubbed Operation Boptrot, involved legislators who accepted bribes and other illegal inducements to support horse-racing legislation in Kentucky. The FBI's original targets were the Business, Organization, and Professions Committees (the "BOP" in BOPTROT) in the Kentucky House of Representatives and the Kentucky Senate. Those two committees oversaw state laws regulating horse racing (the "trot" in BOPTROT). The exposé was especially notable for revealing how cheaply the legislators were willing to sell their votes.
Convictions as a result of Boptrot
Legislators convicted as a result of Operation Boptrot included:House Speaker Don Blandford (D) pleaded guilty after 1992 indictment on charges of extortion, racketeering and lying. He was sentenced to 64 months in prison and was fined $10,000.
Rep. Jerry Bronger (D) was indicted in 1992 and later pleaded guilty to charges that he accepted $2,000 in exchange for blocking legislation that would hurt harness race tracks. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison.
Rep. Clay Crupper (D) pleaded guilty after 1992 indictment and was fined $10,000 on charges of interstate travel in aide of racketeering.
Sen. Helen Garrett (D) was charged in 1992 with taking a $2,000 bribe from a track in exchange for helping pass legislation. She pleaded guilty and received four years probation.

Rep. Ronny Layman (R) was indicted in 1992 on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion and making false statements to the FBI. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three months of home detention and community service.
Sen. David LeMaster (D) was indicted in 1993, and acquitted of extortion and racketeering, but convicted of lying. He was sentenced to a year in prison and fined $30,000, but served just one day after resigning from the legislature.
Rep. Bill McBee was sentenced to a 15-month prison term for his role in Operation BopTrot.
Sen. Virgil Pearman pleaded guilty after 1993 indictment charging that he took an illegal $3,000 campaign contribution. He was sentenced to three months in a halfway house, probation and was fined $5,000.
Sen. John Rogers (R), then the Minority Leader in the Kentucky Senate, was sentenced in 1994 to 42 months in prison after conviction on charges of extortion, conspiracy, attempted extortion, mail fraud and lying to the FBI.
Sen. Art Schmidt (R) pleaded guilty to a 1993 indictment for withholding the fact that he took a $20 cash payment from another senator tied to Operation BopTrot. He was sentenced to probation and fined $2,500.
Sen. Landon Sexton (R) pleaded guilty after 1994 indictment charging that he took an illegal $5,000 cash campaign contribution. He was sentenced to 15 consecutive weekends in jail, home detention for two months and probation for two years. In addition he was fined $5,000.
Rep. Bill Strong pleaded guilty after 1993 indictment charges that he took an illegal $3,000 campaign contribution and did not deposit the money into his campaign fund. He was sentenced to three months in a halfway house, probation and was fined $3,000.

Excerpt:
Elliot Richardson, who as Attorney General appointed the Watergate prosecutor and resigned rather than fire him, has argued Inslaw's cause and demanded a special prosecutor. His complaints of conflicts of interest and department stonewalling are seconded by the Democratic staffs of House and Senate committees. After Inslaw sought refuge in Washington's Bankruptcy Court, a judge there found "trickery, fraud and deceit" by the Justice Department.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inslaw
Excerpt:
Inslaw, Inc. is a small, Washington, D.C.-based, information technology company. In the mid-1970s, Inslaw developed for the United States Department of Justice a highly efficient, people-tracking, software program known as: Prosecutor's Management Information System (Promis). Inslaw's principal owners, William Anthony Hamilton and his wife, Nancy Burke Hamilton, later sued the United States Government (acting as principal to the Department of Justice) for not complying with the terms of the Promis contract and for refusing to pay for an enhanced version of Promis once delivered. This allegation of software piracy led to three trials in separate federal courts and two congressional hearings.
During ensuing investigations, the Department of Justice was accused of deliberately attempting to drive Inslaw into Chapter 7 liquidation; and of distributing and selling stolen software for covert intelligence operations of foreign governments such as Canada, Israel, Singapore, Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan; and of becoming directly involved in murder.

Imprisoned on drug charges as of the early 2000s, he was involved in the Inslaw affair (a legal case in which the the U.S. Government was charged with illegal use of computer software), the so-called "October surprise" and other plots. Riconosciuto claims to be an electronics and computer expert and to have been hired to alter Inslaw's PROMIS software to allow for clandestine tracking of individuals. Riconosciuto claims his knowledge of PROMIS made him a threat to the United States Government, particularly the Justice Department, and that this resulted in his incarceration. Some of his supporters see his prosecution as a means of interfering with his ability to agitate about Inslaw, and thus describe him as a political prisoner.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Vincennes_(CG-49)
Excerpts:
1) The fourth USS Vincennes (CG-49) is a U.S. Navy Ticonderoga class Aegis guided missile cruiser. On July 3, 1988, the ship shot down Iran Air Flight 655 over the Persian Gulf, killing all 290 civilian passengers on board, including 38 non-Iranians and 66 children.
The ship was launched 14 April 1984 and sponsored by Marilyn Quayle, wife of Indiana Senator Dan Quayle. The Vincennes was named for the Battle of Vincennes during the Revolutionary War, while the previous Vincennes heavy cruiser and Vincennes light cruiser were named for the city of Vincennes, Indiana. She was commissioned at Pascagoula 6 July 1985, Captain George N. Gee in command. The ship normally carries guided missiles, rapid-fire cannons, and two Seahawk LAMPS helicopters for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, personnel transfers, and other purposes.
She was sold for scrapping to International Shipbreaking in 2010.
2) [edit] Persian Gulf
During the Iran and Iraq war the United States took active measures in the Persian Gulf to protect shipping, mainly oil tankers, that were being threatened by both countries.On 14 April 1988, the guided missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58) hit a mine in the Persian Gulf during Operation Earnest Will. Six days later, Vincennes was re-deployed from Fleet Exercise 88-1, sent back to San Diego, California and told to prepare for a six-month deployment. The reason for the haste: Navy leaders decided that they needed an Aegis ship to protect the exit of the damaged Roberts through the Strait of Hormuz. One month later, the cruiser entered the Persian Gulf, and in early July, stood guard in the Strait as the damaged frigate was borne out on the Mighty Servant 2 heavy-lift ship. The ship made 14 Hormuz transits during its Earnest Will operations.
[edit] Civilian airliner shot down
Main article: Iran Air Flight 655
On 3 July 1988, Vincennes, under the command of Captain Will Rogers III, fired two radar-guided missiles and shot down an Iran Air Airbus A300 civilian airliner over the Strait of Hormuz, killing all 290 passengers and crew on board. According to Captain Rogers, there had earlier been an attack on the Vincennes by Iranian motor boats. Crucially, the Vincennes then misidentified the Iranian Airbus as an attacking F-14 Tomcat fighter. A radio warning had been sent to the aircraft on military wavelength.The Iranian government has maintained that the Vincennes knowingly shot down the civilian aircraft.[1] Iran Air flight IR655 flew every day out of Bandar Abbas—a civil as well as military airport—on a scheduled passenger flight to Dubai using established air lanes. The Italian navy and another US warship, the frigate Sides, confirmed that the plane was climbing—not diving to attack—at the time of the missile strike. The US radio warnings were only broadcast on emergency radio frequencies, not air traffic control frequencies, so the Airbus crew could have misinterpreted the warnings as referring to another aircraft. Captain David Carlson of the USS Sides later said that the destruction of the airliner "marked the horrifying climax to Rogers' aggressiveness".[2]
The shooting down of the plane has continued to be the subject of fierce debate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Earnest_Will
Excerpt:
In December 1986, the government of Kuwait asked the Reagan administration to send the U.S. Navy to protect Kuwaiti tankers against Iranian attacks.[2] U.S. law forbade the use of Navy ships to escort civilian vessels under a foreign flag, so the Kuwaiti ships were re-registered under the U.S. flag. Even before Earnest Will formally began, it became clear how dangerous Persian Gulf operations would be. On 17 May, an Iraqi F-1 Mirage fired two Exocet missiles at the guided missile frigate USS Stark, killing 37 sailors and injuring 21. Iraqi officials said the targeting of the U.S. warship was accidental.

Excerpt:
The proposal stunned officials from the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait who were in the meetings, Aspin said. ``They were totally taken by surprise,`` he said. But a knowledgeable State Department official said Aspin is mistaken and the Kuwaitis do not intend to use ships such as the Ar-Rekkah on shuttle duty. ``I don`t know if he is misguided or misrepresenting`` his conversations, the official said.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. will determine how the escorts are scheduled, not Kuwait. The Navy has been in close consultations with Kuwait for weeks on that subject and both sides understand how the escort plan will work, he said.
In Moscow, meanwhile, the Soviet Union offered to pull its naval task force out of the Persian Gulf if the U.S., Britain and France do the same and if steps are taken to end the Iran-Iraq war.
Excerpt:
MV Bridgeton, ex-al-Rekkah, was a Kuwait Oil Company oil tanker that was reflagged during Operation Earnest Will. Bridgeton was built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Nagasaki and was launched August 14, 1976. The tanker was built as al-Rekkah, renamed Bridgeton and scrapped as Pacific Blue. Bridgeton struck an Iranian mine near Farsi Island during the first Operation Earnest Will escort mission on July 24, 1987. Operation Prime Chance was conducted as a response to this mining. In September 1987, Iran Ajr was discovered laying mines, was captured and scuttled by US forces.
[edit] Fate
Some of the reflagged tankers returned to Kuwaiti flags in January 1989, but Bridgeton and several others remained US flagged.[3] Bridgeton transferred to Panamanian registry and was renamed Pacific Blue in the late 1990s. The supertanker was scrapped in 2002 at Haryana Ship Demolition in Alang, India.
Excerpt:
The Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is an oil company headquartered in Ahmadi, Kuwait. It is a subsidiary of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, a Government-owned holding company. KOC is the world's fourth-largest oil exporter. Chairman and managing director of the company is Sami al-Rushaid.[1]
[edit] History
The Kuwait Oil Company was founded in 1934 by Anglo-Persian Oil Company and Gulf Oil as an equally-owned partnership. The oil concession rights were awarded to the company on 23 December 1934 and the company started drilling operations in 1936.[2][3] First oil was discovered in 1938 in Burgan field, followed by discoveries in Magwa in 1951, Ahmadi in 1952, Raudhatain in 1955, Sabriya in 1957, and Minagish in 1959.[3]
The initial development of the oil industry coincided with the end of the British Raj in India and many British expatriate administrators and engineers transferred from there to Kuwait. They set up the oil town of Ahmadi which had the appearance of a typical British garrison town, with thousands of trees lining streets of pleasant bungalows in which lived a remarkable group of dedicated engineers and administrators who built up the oil industry while at the same time training Kuwaitis to take over eventual control.
When the Royal Navy converted their warships to oil burners instead of coal, the British Government depended on a secure supply of Middle Eastern oil. Figures such as Dame Violet Dickson who lived among the Kuwaitis for 40 years were influential in fostering an excellent relationship between the Kuwaitis and the British during the period when they and American expatriates developed the oil industry.
BP and Gulf were able to obtain the Kuwaiti oil at very favourable terms for sale via their downstream networks in Europe and adjoining areas. During this time, Gulf would claim that it had a "special relationship" with Kuwait. However, all this came to an end in 1975 when the Kuwaitis took over the ownership of KOC.[3]
Excerpt:
On the morning of 3 July, the Vincennes, Captain William C. Rogers III commanding, was passing through the Strait of Hormuz returning from an escort duty.[8] A helicopter from the USS Vincennes received small arms fire from Iranian patrol vessels, as it observed from high altitude. The Vincennes moved to engage the Iranian vessels, in the course of which they all violated Omani waters and left after being challenged and ordered to leave by a Royal Navy of Oman warship.[10] The Vincennes then pursued the Iranian gunboats, entering Iranian territorial waters to open fire. The USS Sides and USS Elmer Montgomery were nearby. Thus, the USS Vincennes was in Iranian territorial waters at the time of the incident, as admitted by the U.S. government in legal briefs and publicly by Admiral William Crowe on Nightline.[11][12] However, Admiral Crowe denied a U.S. government coverup of the incident and claimed that the USS Vincennes's helicopter was in international waters initially, when it was first fired upon by the Iranian gunboats.

A historic reunion
Former officials reflect on Gulf War
Published: Thursday, January 20, 2011
Updated: Thursday, January 20, 2011 23:01
Amidst the dim lights in Texas A&M's Reed Arena, a crowd began to form Thursday night. Old Aggies, old friends and interested people mingled by shaking hands or embracing and speaking in hushed voices about the significance of the evening's event. The Corps of Cadets filled the North end of Reed while the throngs filtered in slowly and filled the 100 and floor levels of the arena as the Aggie Band played. Six high-back leather chairs sat on the stage erected on the South end on the arena floor awaiting their distinguished guests.
The Bush School of Government, the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, Texas A&M and the Shell Oil Company put on a commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the start of Operation Desert Storm.
President George H.W. Bush welcomed former Vice Presidents Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney, Secretaries of State Colin Powell and James Baker as well as Generals Brent Scowcroft and Walter Boomer. The delegation also included Sheikh Ahmad Al-Sabah, a Kuwaiti envoy and Ambassador Mohammad Abulhasan. Ryan Crocker, the dean of the Bush School, and a former ambassador presented the event.
The event started as A&M's President Loftin took the stage to kick off the event. Loftin presided over the presenting of national colors by the Ross Volunteers' color guard and the playing of the Kuwaiti and American national anthems. Some Kuwaiti students in attendance sang aloud with their national anthem prompting scattered smiles though-out the crowd. Loftin introduced Crocker.
Crocker, who would later oversee the panel discussion, introduced a new mini-documentary narrated by Bush. The video briefly covered the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the diplomacy, the build up of Coalition Forces, the actual invasion and peace. This would be the same order of topics in the panel discussion.
When the lights came on at the conclusion of the video, President Bush stood at podium. Bush started his remarks by introducing and thanking Quayle who was standing behind him. Bush next asked all the Gulf War veterans in attendance to stand and receive recognition by the audience; then he recognized the panelists.

Excerpt:
Mystery still enshrouds the destruction of Pan Am London-New York- Detroit flight 103, blown up by a bomb in the luggage hold at high altitude over Lockerbie, Scotland, not far over the border with England at 7.03pm on Dec 21st 1988
This incident at the time, involved the highest fatality rate attributed to a terrorist act (259 on the plane and 11 on the ground =270), was the first truly international terrorist investigation, resulted in the most expensive trial in history to date, the first Scottish trial held on foreign soil (an ex NATO base in the Netherlands), a murder trial without a jury, precipitated the first UN accusation of a terrorist act against a member state and the demand for extradition of suspects to another nation, the first time a nation agreed to pay compensation for terrorist deaths, the first time the CIA permitted an agent to testify in open court about their work, and signalled the demise of one of the world’s most iconic airlines which never recovered from the stigma of, and lawsuits over, security lapses.
All this was officially investigated by Britain’s smallest police force of Dumfries and Galloway.
Considering the above it is an event worth looking into. Like 9 11, there are questions regarding virtually every element of the official story and a maze of intertwined threads to unravel for anyone seeking to know what really happened.
I will attempt a summary and offer some links for more details.
The bombing was swiftly blamed on Iran in retaliation for the shooting down of an Iranian airliner by the USS Vincennes in July of that year killing all 290 on board. The Iranians we said to have commissioned the Syrian based Palestinian terror groupPFLP-GC for the deed with a financial transaction and circumstantial evidence relating to the groups activities in the then West Germany posited as proof.
When both Syria and Iran’s cooperation was solicited for the 1991 invasion of Iraq this line of blame was just as swiftly dropped by the US and the UK.
The new target became Libya and their retaliation for the 1986 bombing of that nation by the US. Libya had also been blamed for various other incidents.
Lockerbie CIA framing Libya 1/6
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0rLVZ1DGpY&feature=related
It needs a much closer inspection to uncover the more likely truth of events.
The timing of the Lockerbie bombing came closely on the heels of the now known Iran-Contra affair where clandestine deals were being made with Israel, Iran and various rogue groups involving arms deals and drug trafficking, hostage release negotiations and he funding of proxy forces. That such illicit dealings were going on is now clear. Who knew about them is debated. What we know is that there were sections of the intelligence services, the military and the government who operated outside the main body of these institutions.
Another scenario is a protected drugs route through Frankfurt, with far greater significance than the ‘sting’. The former Mossad investigator, Juval Aviv, brought in by Pan Am to fend off lawsuits and absolve them of either neglect or culpability came to the conclusion that the bomb entered an established channel for the shipment of heroin from Lebanon to the US.
This route was known as ‘Operation Corea’ and involved Syrian drug dealers, led by Monzer al-Kassar (who was involved with Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) who was allowed to ship heroin to the U.S. in return for intelligence from terrorist groups to assist in hostage releases. The involvement of the CIA and other intelligence agencies in the movement of drugs is well documented and revenues are likely to be the major funding for ‘off the books’ black ops and other illegal activities.
Not interviewed by the FBI, Aviv was indicted on fraud charges soon after his allegations, though they were later dropped.
Drug trafficking and associated money laundering keeps the economy going.

Excerpt:
Sam Dalton, the New Orleans-based attorney for three Colombian hitmen convicted of assassinating Barry Seal in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1986 has told TV producer Daniel Hopsicker that on the night of Seal's murder the FBI threatened local police to release the contents of Seal's Cadillac.
When the contents of Seal's trunk was brought into evidence at the murder trial--after the judge had threatened the federal government with contempt-- it changed the picture of Barry Seal as a free-lancing drug trafficker.
"Barry Seal was delivering arms and money to the Contras," Dalton says. "Now one of the things that really turned us on about that premise, which held hope we would be able to persuade a jury to spare the lives of the Colombians convicted of Seal's murder--was Barry's Seals' ability to buy a surplus minesweeper from the government."

In fact, he is so blasé about high level corruption that he casually refers to it as "How the Real World Works."
Nevertheless Al Martin's book "The Conspirators" is a shocking expose of unbelievable proportions. It's an uncensored version of what really goes on in the proverbial back rooms of power politics.

Dalton stories to tell
Excerpt:
He is the founding chairman of the Jefferson Parish Indigent Defender Board (1976-’99), now a model for public defender systems statewide. He is also a veteran defense attorney of some 300 capital cases. In ’86, he famously convinced a Lake Charles jury to spare the lives of three Colombian “hit men” convicted of gunning down federal drug trafficking informant “Barry” Seale. A strident death penalty opponent, Dalton told the jury that Seale had to die. Using the government’s own experts, Dalton contended the government informant had smuggled the equivalent of 18 rail boxcars filled with cocaine into the United States, resulting in an estimated 21 overdose deaths. To the astonishment of State Police and DEA agents, Dalton put on a ballistics-intensive defense to support his argument that the murder of Seale with a .45 caliber machine-gun was “more humane” than state executions.

It alleged that the head of Deutsche Bank's stock loan department in Toronto and two acquaintances helped Saudi arms merchant Adnan Khashoggi and his associates manipulate shares of a telemarketing company that Stockwalk had borrowed and re-loaned to other securities firms.
Khashoggi is best known for playing a key role in the 1980s Iran-contra affair. The suit further alleged that Deutsche Bank knew what was going on, did nothing to prevent it and at times provided assistance.

Excerpt:
The Bush School of Government, the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, Texas A&M and the Shell Oil Company put on a commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the start of Operation Desert Storm.
President George H.W. Bush welcomed former Vice Presidents Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney, Secretaries of State Colin Powell and James Baker as well as Generals Brent Scowcroft and Walter Boomer. The delegation also included Sheikh Ahmad Al-Sabah, a Kuwaiti envoy and Ambassador Mohammad Abulhasan. Ryan Crocker, the dean of the Bush School, and a former ambassador presented the event.
The event started as A&M's President Loftin took the stage to kick off the event. Loftin presided over the presenting of national colors by the Ross Volunteers' color guard and the playing of the Kuwaiti and American national anthems. Some Kuwaiti students in attendance sang aloud with their national anthem prompting scattered smiles though-out the crowd. Loftin introduced Crocker.
Crocker, who would later oversee the panel discussion, introduced a new mini-documentary narrated by Bush. The video briefly covered the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the diplomacy, the build up of Coalition Forces, the actual invasion and peace. This would be the same order of topics in the panel discussion.
When the lights came on at the conclusion of the video, President Bush stood at podium. Bush started his remarks by introducing and thanking Quayle who was standing behind him. Bush next asked all the Gulf War veterans in attendance to stand and receive recognition by the audience; then he recognized the panelists.

Mystery still enshrouds the destruction of Pan Am London-New York- Detroit flight 103, blown up by a bomb in the luggage hold at high altitude over Lockerbie, Scotland, not far over the border with England at 7.03pm on Dec 21st 1988
This incident at the time, involved the highest fatality rate attributed to a terrorist act (259 on the plane and 11 on the ground =270), was the first truly international terrorist investigation, resulted in the most expensive trial in history to date, the first Scottish trial held on foreign soil (an ex NATO base in the Netherlands), a murder trial without a jury, precipitated the first UN accusation of a terrorist act against a member state and the demand for extradition of suspects to another nation, the first time a nation agreed to pay compensation for terrorist deaths, the first time the CIA permitted an agent to testify in open court about their work, and signalled the demise of one of the world’s most iconic airlines which never recovered from the stigma of, and lawsuits over, security lapses.
All this was officially investigated by Britain’s smallest police force of Dumfries and Galloway.
Considering the above it is an event worth looking into. Like 9 11, there are questions regarding virtually every element of the official story and a maze of intertwined threads to unravel for anyone seeking to know what really happened.
I will attempt a summary and offer some links for more details.
The bombing was swiftly blamed on Iran in retaliation for the shooting down of an Iranian airliner by the USS Vincennes in July of that year killing all 290 on board. The Iranians we said to have commissioned the Syrian based Palestinian terror groupPFLP-GC for the deed with a financial transaction and circumstantial evidence relating to the groups activities in the then West Germany posited as proof.
When both Syria and Iran’s cooperation was solicited for the 1991 invasion of Iraq this line of blame was just as swiftly dropped by the US and the UK.
The new target became Libya and their retaliation for the 1986 bombing of that nation by the US. Libya had also been blamed for various other incidents.
Lockerbie CIA framing Libya 1/6

It needs a much closer inspection to uncover the more likely truth of events.
The timing of the Lockerbie bombing came closely on the heels of the now known Iran-Contra affair where clandestine deals were being made with Israel, Iran and various rogue groups involving arms deals and drug trafficking, hostage release negotiations and he funding of proxy forces. That such illicit dealings were going on is now clear. Who knew about them is debated. What we know is that there were sections of the intelligence services, the military and the government who operated outside the main body of these institutions.
Another scenario is a protected drugs route through Frankfurt, with far greater significance than the ‘sting’. The former Mossad investigator, Juval Aviv, brought in by Pan Am to fend off lawsuits and absolve them of either neglect or culpability came to the conclusion that the bomb entered an established channel for the shipment of heroin from Lebanon to the US.
This route was known as ‘Operation Corea’ and involved Syrian drug dealers, led by Monzer al-Kassar (who was involved with Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) who was allowed to ship heroin to the U.S. in return for intelligence from terrorist groups to assist in hostage releases. The involvement of the CIA and other intelligence agencies in the movement of drugs is well documented and revenues are likely to be the major funding for ‘off the books’ black ops and other illegal activities.
Not interviewed by the FBI, Aviv was indicted on fraud charges soon after his allegations, though they were later dropped.
Drug trafficking and associated money laundering keeps the economy going.

Excerpt:
Sam Dalton, the New Orleans-based attorney for three Colombian hitmen convicted of assassinating Barry Seal in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1986 has told TV producer Daniel Hopsicker that on the night of Seal's murder the FBI threatened local police to release the contents of Seal's Cadillac.
When the contents of Seal's trunk was brought into evidence at the murder trial--after the judge had threatened the federal government with contempt-- it changed the picture of Barry Seal as a free-lancing drug trafficker.
"Barry Seal was delivering arms and money to the Contras," Dalton says. "Now one of the things that really turned us on about that premise, which held hope we would be able to persuade a jury to spare the lives of the Colombians convicted of Seal's murder--was Barry's Seals' ability to buy a surplus minesweeper from the government."

His new book, "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran Contra Insider," is an unprecedented revelation of the covert world of the US Shadow Government. It's a personal account of his own involvement with Iran-Contra scams. He has first hand knowledge of US Government sanctioned narcotics trafficking, illicit weapons deals and a veritable epidemic of fraud -- corporate securities fraud, real estate fraud, banking fraud and insurance fraud.
And since he worked directly with Jeb Bush and has personal knowledge of Bush Family criminal activities, Al Martin states unequivocally that both the Republican and the Democrat Parties were, and are, complicit in illegal fundraising and money laundering.
In fact, he is so blasé about high level corruption that he casually refers to it as "How the Real World Works."
Nevertheless Al Martin's book "The Conspirators" is a shocking expose of unbelievable proportions. It's an uncensored version of what really goes on in the proverbial back rooms of power politics.

Dalton stories to tell
Excerpt:
He is the founding chairman of the Jefferson Parish Indigent Defender Board (1976-’99), now a model for public defender systems statewide. He is also a veteran defense attorney of some 300 capital cases. In ’86, he famously convinced a Lake Charles jury to spare the lives of three Colombian “hit men” convicted of gunning down federal drug trafficking informant “Barry” Seale. A strident death penalty opponent, Dalton told the jury that Seale had to die. Using the government’s own experts, Dalton contended the government informant had smuggled the equivalent of 18 rail boxcars filled with cocaine into the United States, resulting in an estimated 21 overdose deaths. To the astonishment of State Police and DEA agents, Dalton put on a ballistics-intensive defense to support his argument that the murder of Seale with a .45 caliber machine-gun was “more humane” than state executions.
