Author of CIA Drug Trade Book - Professor Alfred W McCoy on NSA Surveillance

Surveillance by Professor Alfred W McCoy (Author of CIA Drug Dealing Book - The Politics of Heroin) by Charlesfrith on Mixcloud

Professor Alfred W McCoy wrote the ground breaking Politics of Heroin which detailed the CIA control of the heroin trade in South East Asia. We now know that heroin is flown by NATO to Brussels and then Andrews Air Force Base in the US when they're not flooding the Russians with heroin to cultivate crime and social conflict.

In this fascinating interview McCoy takes us behind the scenes of the US invasion of the Philippines and how the surveillance for this operation set the groundwork for the FBI smashing up the unions in the USA so the 1% could make more money with no resistance.

Why Is The U.S. Population Mute On Its Military

I imagine there are lots of reasons why. Ignorance and brain washing have to be a huge reason. Misunderstood patriotism could be one too but the reason I find of most concern is intimidation  The most spied upon people on the planet are the people of the U.S. and I worry their silence is fear. Maybe a once resilient and outspoken people no longer have the stomach to speak up and stand tall?

Maybe Glen Greenwald's analysis is correct. American's surveillance state is breeding fear and conformity.
