THE SECRET SHADOW GOVERNMENT


Defense Electronic Security Command

Keep soldiers safe but murder foreigners. This  agency "which coordinates intelligence surveillance and countermeasures against threats to the integrity of military electron equipment and electronic battlefield operations" is used in situations of aggression against foreign people in the name of national security.

But, whose national security? Not yours and not mine. Demonstration after demonstration and petition after petition has pleaded with Washington to end the bombings against the people of Iraq because it is killing innocent people and causing babies to be born deformed. Madelyn Albright stated that "this is all worth it." Is it?

The leader of Iraq is still in power but the people are dying. These people used to have a productive economy but no one considers it productive now. Do we need this agency? No.
