Powder Burns", Cocaine, Contras & The Drug Connection, a book by retired
The following are exerpts from "Powder Burns", Cocaine, Contras & The Drug
Connection, a book by retired DEA agent, Cellerino Castillo published in 1992.
Castillo has documented much of what he saw and the DEA has refused to honor
Freedom of Information Act requirments to release any of it.
http://www.riseup.com/Books/Powderburns.html From early 1984 to the fall of 1986, (Lt. Col. Oliver) North directed a
clandestine resupply operation he dubbed "Project Democracy," which used a
military airbase in El Salvador to fly weapons and supplies to the Contras.
For the better part of a year, I investigated it.
None of this came as any surprise to me. In seven years in the trenches, I had
arrested dozens of traffickers; trained antinarcotics squads in two countries;
flown aerial eradication missions; spearheaded huge cocaine busts. The drug
barons barely flinched:
In Peru, I watched cartel pilots playing soccer with soldiers; in El Salvador,
military officers took weapons seized from the guerrillas and sold them to
traffickers; in Guatemala, I discovered members of our host government running
a smuggling ring for the cartels. Then I discovered the Contras' secret.
By the end of his Congressional testimony, North was crowned an American Hero.
Telegrams streamed in from admirers across the country, who reached out to
their new icon. I knew better.
Many of the diplomats I worked with on a daily basis in the U.S. Embassy in El
Salvador regarded the hard-nosed NSC staffer running the

The Black Budget of the United States: The Engine of a "Negative Return Economy"
Chris Sanders and Catherine Austin Fitts
An analysis of the federal financial records reveals shocking evidence that a very large proportion of the nation's wealth is being illegally diverted since several decades into secret, unaccountable channels and programmes with unspecified purposes, including covert operations and subversions abroad and clandestine military R&D at home. Public institutions have been infiltrated and taken over by shadowy groups in the service of powerful private and vested interests, often at the expense of the common good.
Keep the people frightened
Of things they cannot know
Is the secret of the Tomb
If they knew what you and I know
They would know it is just men
Who rob them, cheat them, kill them
Then start it all again
- Orville X
Introduction
The United States government has operated a secret budgeting and spending programme for decades outside the framework of the American Constitution. The institutional and political roots of this system of clandestine finance go back at least a century. The turn of the nineteenth century saw the consolidation of American industry and banking under the control of a restrictive cartel that for all practical purposes assumed control of the economy. The great magnates of American industry and finance in the late nineteenth century were superb practitioners of covert operations. Witness to this fact are the institutions set up during the twentieth century through which their descendants still maintain control.
What follows is a summary of the structure of the American political economy which fits the facts better than the official model. Officially, American capitalism is characterised by democracy, opportunity, self-improvement, open and free markets, and constructive regu-lation for the public good, in short, happiness. Under this construct, America has never fought a war of aggression and harbours no designs to do so. Its leaders have the nation's interests at heart, and its politicians listen to their constituencies. But the truth is different.
Why the United States is so widely misunderstood is due in part to a controlled educational system and media. As the system evolved over the decades, time lent it legitimacy spanning the political spectrum. Gustavus Meyers, author of the seminal work History of the Great American Fortunes and no panegyrist, believed—following Marx as did many of the Left—that the consolidation of American industry was inevitable and that the men who accomplished it were acting their part in a predetermined historical evolution. Once monopoly control had been achieved, the proletariat would rise and its dictatorship would begin. We shy away from such determinism; nothing happens but as a consequence of what men do and choose to do. If Meyers were alive today, he would still be waiting.
Black Budget? What Black Budget?
At the time of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in September 2001 according to the Government Accounting Office (GAO), the Pentagon had incurred $3.4 trillion of "undocumentable transactions", that is to say that there were $3.4 trillion worth of financial transactions for which there was no discernible purpose. The day before the attack, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld warned that the lack of control over the budget was a greater danger to the national security of the United States than terrorism. After the attacks, the government stopped publicly disclosing information about "undocumentable transactions

Why police resist reforms to militarization
Nikki Rojas
Harvard Staff Writer
March 3, 2023
Issues revolve around culture of viewing civilians as potential threats, concerns about self-protection in departments equipped with military-grade arms
The mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, last year by a gunman armed with an AR-15-style rifle resulted in a searing loss of life — 19 young students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. But equally stunning was the 77 minutes it took police to respond, despite having adequate firepower, equipment, and training to do so. The delay turned a spotlight on the militarization of U.S. law enforcement, how it can fail to protect individuals from the kinds of threats it was intended to thwart, and its tendency to foster a culture of self-protection that can re
