Next we hear Cheryl from 9-11 Wake-Up Call interviewing Kevin Zeese on how the US government's long history of infiltrating political movements of all stripes. Over the last century, he reports, infiltration has been the norm, not the exception. He has recently coauthored an article entitled Occupy, Infiltration of Political Movements is the Norm, Not The Exception in The United States. One of the organizers of Occupy Wall St., he focuses particularly on the governments use fo infiltration to try to undermine, divide and misdirect the Occupy Movement.
We conclude the show with researcher and UK CND activist, Steve Schofield on a report he published into RAF Menwith Hill, formerly under the control of the UK's Royal Air Force, now the NSA's largest base in Europe, employing over 2000 people. He reports on the difficulty of establishing what is going on there, given that in spite of whistle-blowers having given evidence of illegal commercial spying being carried out to advantage US companies, the UK government has effectively no oversight. His research indicates that such bases are no mere centers of intelligence gathering but are increasingly working as operational centers for high technology warfare using unaccountable US special forces and predatory drones and as centers of commercial espionage. Should UK taxpayers be subsidizing this?
