DEEP STATE COMES TO AMERICA, PART 2

"The question of Turkey's compensation for its Gulf War losses brings us to the Baybasins and Turkey's heroin trade. According to a 1996 interview with the consumately corrupt, and then Prime Minister, Tansu Ciller, Turkey's losses for the five years following the Gulf War amounted to some $27 billion. According to Kendal Nezan, in an article on Turkey's heroin-trafficking, Turkey brought in $25 billion in 1995 and $37 billion in 1996. Even figuring in the cost of Turkey's dirty war against the Kurdish people, estimated at upwards of $12.5 billion, Turkey turns a tidy profit on its business, more than enough to cover its Gulf War losses.The state has been involved with the heroin business since the 1950s, working closely with its own intelligence service, MIT."

Hi Tom,

I've been watching Maimi parties on TV today. Everyone looks happy. I hope you're having fun too :-)

Some fun, but really stress, not knowing for sure what's happening. I think it's clear the Cuban government is lying, but who knows

What do you think of his brother? Do you think he'll be a reformer?

No Fay I don't think so, the guy is not very brainy, he's more the muscle, he might load a plane with cash and leave, you never know, but he's wanted in several countries so I doubt it, more likely he will rule with an Iron fist. In a way that's a good thing, most people don't believe that the Cubans will put up with it. fidel was always a smooth talker, this guy will just get frustrated and start shooting.
