David Andrews Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Good one. I appreciated Valentine's Phoenix Program book some years ago, and have been wanting to read his other work.

David Andrews Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/11/07/the-cia-and-drugs-inc-a-covert-history/ A useful article by Valentine, partly on the SE Asia drug trade. It's important for assassination researchers to get a handle on a paradigm it took a me a lot of reading to grasp: Since at least WW II (if not since the domestic strike breaking of the pre-war period) organized crime has not been merely an occasional set of go-to guys for isolated dirty work, but a readily mobilized covert force for the official covert forces. They provide plausible deniability and eventual legal disposability through arrest and imprisonment, or through rub-outs by other gangsters. Because they can't fight City Hall - or, in the case of Barry Seal, the White House. Drug trade movement through organized crime funds wars, counter-revolutions, and military and covert operations.
