Plumbers Task Force Investigation of Other Illegal Activities-A DU discussion of the history

and evolution of the criminal use of US intelligence community assets in The United States of America and elsewhere.

On May 13, 1972 "burglars" entered the Embassy of Chile in Washington DC as part of the preparations for the CIA sponsored coup against Salvador Allende.

On June 17, 1972 some of these "burglars" were on the team that broke into the Democratic National Committee's offices in the Watergate on "orders" of the Richard M. Nixon administration.

Using the wonderful link below as a starting point let's discuss the growth industry of "other illegal activities" and the various networks used by assets of the US intelligence community that have become the enemy of we, the people everywhere in the name of "US national security".

Your participation is required, as always, DU. I'm merely starting this thread. An informed citizen is a requirement of democracy.

How about the assassination by car bomb of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt on September 21, 1976 in Washington DC?

The absence of accountability-what about that? What about other nations that suffered? Speak your mind DUers.

community corrupted to the point of doing evil just because they can. Consider the goals and ambitions of the Leader (?) of The Plumbers, George Gordon Battle Liddy.

I don't know what to make of the silence in this thread, so far. The lies we've been told over and over, cradle to grave, etc. are in the full light of day-falling away. Add your thoughts to this discussion DU.

The Mary Ferrell Foundation is another good resource regarding information about
WATERGATE

Using electronic vote counters to steal votes and the last semblance of democracy.

The crooks have utter and complete control over the counting. The same crooks as chronicled in this thread. And most people yawn at the events. Fuck it.
