I think when one reaches the top of the pile one will find wildly manic individuals motavated by the understanding of what Cathrine states so well --- if they do not control crime who ever does will take their place. That is why Shackley would tell you if you asked that it is not possible to control a country without controling narcotics. The control of the flow of narcotics into the United States became a national policy under Richard Nixon and it has been that way ever since.

Right on, right on.
If you do a guessestimate from WWII---or back through the China trade and
forward-- you will understand the magnitude of the current addiction. Add
that to prostitution/pornography/slave trading, arms, war, etc and we have
one heal of financial addiction to organized crime worldwide that every
American benefits from whether they understand it or not. It is terminal for
the financial system. Remember, the profit margins on the illegal businesses
after tax are substantially higher than the legal businesss. Consequently,
those who can combine those profit margins with a awesome cost of capital
advantage by using the stock market are crowding out all organizations not
controlled by organized crime.The only way we can move out of the addiction is to see it...and then to
proceed with tools that make a win/lose behavior a for sure lose/lose for
the player. Now all players are locked into a game that anticipates the only
way to win is with win/lose strategies. They have to believe that win/win
will be the winner. That is why place based financial statements locally are
so important to any real change.> -----Original Message-----
