NY Times confirms US involvement in Nuclear Black Market
Source: OPdEdNews

In last Monday's New York Times, David Sanger and William Broad wrote a front-page article about the CIA's involvement in the nuclear black market.

The article demonstrates (again) that the New York Times, Sanger & Broad in particular, has simply become a mouthpiece for the government but they did let one fact slip through to the readership. I can only presume that the slip was accidental, because they don't appear to have understood the ramifications of what they reported:The US Government is covering up the fact that US citizens and entities are involved in the nuclear black market.
~snip~
According to an anonymous former Bush administration official:
"The State Department wanted the bomb plans destroyed as a way to stem nuclear proliferation, while the C.I.A. wanted to protect its methods for combating illicit nuclear trade."

Whether those two things are true or not I don't know - but the NY Times also notes, without elaboration, that the Swiss Justice Minister met with former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller (and Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence

The US Dept of Justice and FBI have exclusively domestic jurisdiction. Why would the Swiss Justice Minister meet with Mueller and Gonzales regarding the planned destruction of evidence in a Swiss case involving the nuclear black market? The only logical explanation is that the case also involves US persons and US entities who have yet to be named and indicted.

2. Hmmm ...did we tell our government that we wanted them to do this shit?
Obviously our government does what ever it wants to and does not represent "we the people". I guess they think they are smarter than we are and will do our thinking for us with out our consent. They certainly are richer than most of us and they will do whatever they want because they are rich. Class warfare and a government that does not represent us ...nice. Of course we the sheeple don't have the guts to do anything about it and the only thing that can be done about it now would have to include violence since that seems to be the only thing they understand. Obviously after all the arrests of protesters at the RNC, we are not allowed to protest anymore and Home Land Security considers protesters a national threat.
