UG #733 - The Mena Connection (Laundering Drug Profits and Shipping Guns...)

Robin Upton | 08-04-2016 11:35 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
Another episode which illuminates the murky doings of the deep state in the US; we hear the soundtrack from a 1995 film which gives an insider's eye view of "The Enterprise". Terry Reed was a CIA spook whose distaste for drug trafficking lead to him attempt to blow the whistle on what the corporate media - misleadingly - referred to as "Iran-Contra". After outlining the drugs for weapons operation that was run out of Mena, Arkansas - including how the money was laundered through the Arkansas bond market with the help of the Clintons' entourage - the show centers on how the Reeds took flight from a rogue US Justice system which had labeled them as "armed and dangerous" drug traffickers.

UG#732 - A Billion Here, A Billion There, Pretty Soon You're Talking Real Money

Robin Upton | 02-04-2016 00:24 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
We look at a new topic on the show - one of the largest frauds committed in the USA in the 20th Century - and why it is that the looting of hundreds of billions of dollars has for the most part not only gone unpunished but uninvestigated. Our speaker is Pete Brewton, author of The Mafia, The CIA and George Bush.

UG#731 - The Global Oiligarchy (Secrets of The Seven Sisters 2)

Robin Upton | 20-03-2016 08:15 | Energy Crisis | History | Iraq | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week, we conclude our adaption of The Seven Sisters and supplement it by the research of James Corbett on the influence of the US "Oiligarchs" over the rest of US society. As he notes, the US oil barons were effective in their takeover of other aspects of US society including the money, educational and food supply systems.

UG#725 - An Ongoing Deep State Clean Up (Dennis Hastert, COINTELPRO 2, Gladio 2)

Robin Upton | 19-12-2015 16:23 | History | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
We continue our adaption of Allan Francovich's film about Operation Gladio. However, the majority of this episode is a review of the 1996 New COINTELPRO operation, started under Clinton, which is currently being framed in the US commercial media as the "Denis Hastert case". We sew together 4 recent podcasts from Sibel Edmonds (the US' most classified woman) who has been blowing the whistle on this case for over a decade, and from whom insight is therefore to be expected as to what will happen with this case, and most interestingly, what the controlled media is not informing us about.

UG#724 - Calling a SCAD a SCAD(State Crimes Against Democracy,Operation Gladio1)

Robin Upton | 17-12-2015 14:57 | History | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week we begin an audio adaption of the best film that will ever be made on Operation Gladio, Allan Francovich's famous 1992 expose. To introduce it, a 90 minute talk from Lance deHaven-Smith on State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) - a term which he thinks we should start using as a prelude to prosecuting those responsible.

UG#723 - A US Deep State Event (The Deep Implications of the 9-11 Money Trail)

Robin Upton | 08-11-2015 15:02 | Anti-militarism | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
We continue our study of the deep state with a fresh look at what has emerged about the defining 21st century deep event, the attacks of September 11th. While that date inevitably invokes mental images of fireball and collapsing towers, we look instead at the financial implications. These range from Stratesec director Wirt Dexter Walker's $50,000 insider trade through a range of mid level fraud, up to the hundreds of billions of US Bonds which were due on that date and the trillions of dollars which have gone missing from the Pentagon budget. What does this complex pattern of innumerable financial frauds carried out on that day tell us about the interrelationships of the shadowy cabal of deep state insiders who pulled it off? And what about the technologies which may have been used on that day?

UG#719 - The Processes & Logic of The Deep State(The American Deep State by PDS)

Robin Upton | 04-10-2015 11:48 | History | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
Unusually, just a single speaker this week: one two hour interview with the doyen of deep political research, Canadian Professor Peter Dale Scott. He provides not only a lot of details of the evolution of the post WW2 deep state in the USA, but also sketches out its guiding principles, some of the deeper patterns which allow one to understand the superficially confusing and contradictory actions of the US deep state.

UG#718 - The Deep State'sIncreasing Shallowness (Bombs from Oklahoma to Libya)

Robin Upton | 25-09-2015 17:12 | Anti-militarism | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week, material from 15 years back through to 5 days back detail continued deep state malfeasance hidden in plain sight. Did you hear the story of the CIA "bad apple" who sold a planeload of military grade C-4 explosive to Libya, together with a course in bombmaking by US Green Berets? Or how the CIA's Inspector General perjured himself to try and cover it up... only to be later granted immunity when the truth emerged? Don't try this at home! Our main piece is James Corbett's review of what has emerged in the last 20 years about the Oklahoma City bombing. We conclude with an open letter by Nafeez Ahmed to "Britain's leading violent extremist" - David Cameron. Why does he ignore the leading researchers (including many in his own government) and surround himself instead with deceitful terror "experts" who have spookily close connections to the arms industry and the deep state? I wonder...

UG#717 - One video, Posted On Youtube (Iran-Contra, Drugs and more Drugs)

Robin Upton | 18-09-2015 10:26 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
Wikipedia, that Internet Guardian of the official narrative, does not admit that drug trafficking played a part in the bu$ine$$ of Iran-Contra. In our first hour, first hand testimony about the flying plane loads of cocaine into USA, and how this was connected in a young man's mind to arms dealing, money laundering, serving one's country. In our second hour, a vintage episode of Radio Free America centers on the assassination of Barry Seal, and its relationship to Iran Contra, revealing that even as it was unraveling, some commentators had grasped the relevance of drug smuggling.

UG#714 - Sowing Dragon's Teeth -The Jerusalem Conference on International Terror

Robin Upton | 28-08-2015 14:05 | History | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield

Audio
Unnoticed and unreported at the time, the July 1979 Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism was a seminal event in the history of the "War On Terror". Organised by Benjamin Netanyahu, speakers included George H. W. Bush, Brian Crozier and some of his friends from Le Cercle, academics and deep state actors met to discuss and spin the yarn of the "global war on terror". We begin with a speech on the USA's sponsorship and conscious radicalization of terrorist groups by Nafeez Ahmed and read the first half of an article by Brian Bogart, entitled Sins of Statecraft: The War on Terror Exposed.

UG#713 - The Deep State in Western Europe, 1972-1986 (The Vicious Cercle...)

Robin Upton | 13-08-2015 18:50 | Anti-militarism | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week, a range of materials from scholarly articles to YouTube videos sheds some light on the murky world of post-WW2 deep political intrigue in Europe. The NATO run Operation Gladio is our point of departure, but False Flags are just the most dramatic of many forms of psychological warfare. In our second hour we look at an even now relatively little known group called "Le Cercle" which appears to have been actively engaged in similarly Machiavellian political manipulation carried out in many of the self-styled "democracies" of Western Europe.

UG#712 - Facing The Failing Culture Of Control - 5 (Deep State Control Freakery)

Robin Upton | 07-08-2015 15:16 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
Our series on the failure of control returns to Unwelcome Guests core topics - trying to make sense of deep events and the shady dealings of deep political insiders. Although we cover a wide range of malfeasance, all the material we cover relates more or less directly to various actions by the Deep State. We hear Sander Hicks on a range of Sep. 11th related topics (many of them new to the show), followed by Russ Baker on the Boston Marathon Bombing. We conclude with a recent overview of the deep state from Peter Dale Scott and a short segment from commercially-controlled media noting that even 6 years after the event, no explanation has been forthcoming of the E-4B that flew over the White House on the morning of 9/11.

UG# #711 - Facing The Failing Culture Of Control - 4 (Sickening Modern Medicine)

Robin Upton | 28-07-2015 14:23 | Analysis | Health | History | Sheffield

Audio
We review the infamous Tuskeegee syphilis experiment and its even more murderous offshore equivalent, noting that the US government's apology to those affected did not stop it using "sovereign immunity" to block their class action lawsuit - since the deeds occurred outside of the USA. The lead attorney, Piper Hendricks shares her frustration. We conclude with an interview of Toni Bark, host of "Bought, The Movie" on regulatory capture by big pharma of CDC and the difficulty of assessment of the health risks of vaccines in light of the huge amounts of money involved.

[Ecuador] November 15: Class War, Memory War!

CLASS WAR | 07-12-2014 18:46 | History | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Liverpool | Sheffield

We received and publish a text from comrades of Proletarios Revolucionarios (“Revolutionary Proletarians”) from Ecuador. We translated this text "[Ecuador] 15 de Noviembre: ¡Guerra de Clases, Guerra de Memorias!" [ http://proletariosrevolucionarios.blogspot.com/2014/11/ecuador-15-de-noviembre-guerra-de_14.html] from Spanish into English and French.

Audio: Sylvia Pankhurst - The Suffragette as a Militant Artist

Chris | 24-11-2014 22:23 | Culture | Gender | History | Sheffield

Audio
A recording of Hester Reeve discussing the value of re-historicising the suffragette as a militant artist in order to celebrate the unique suffragette contribution to human rights and creative citizenship. This Sheffield Humanist Society meeting was held on 18th November 2014 at the Farm Road Sports and Social Club, Sheffield.

UG#697 - The Estimable Russ Baker (Boston Bombings and the Family of Secrets)

Robin Upton | 08-11-2014 12:49 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
Unusually, we spend both hours on a single speaker, more unusually still, one who is new to this show as a main speaker. Some of Russ Baker's research is however familiar to use via Mark Gorton's Fifty Years of the Deep State. The first 30 minutes is a May 2014 interview about the Boston bombings, the remainder of the show is a 2009 interview by Bonnie Faulkner which centers on his book, "Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, America’s Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years."

UG#695 - Funding The Deep State Off-The-Books (Media Silence on Drugs for Guns)

Robin Upton | 26-10-2014 20:01 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio
Two speakers help us examine the off-the-books funding which has routinely funded CIA operations since its inception. We begin with a recording by Emile De Antonio from the classic show of US dissident thought Alternative Views, centered on George H W Bush, but which reviews the history of state assisted drug trafficking and encompasses a bunch of other key deep state operatives. Next it is journalist Craig Unger on his response to Sep 11th, and we conclude with Peter Dale Scott on the early history of the CIA and its related TLAs. He opines that the seized Nazi assets formed the base of a black budget which has always been available for funding off-the-books deep state operations.

UG#692 - The European Deep State Post WW2 (NATO's Secret Armies)

Robin Upton | 21-09-2014 04:26 | History | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
This time we focus on a seminal event in the evolution of European deep state groups, the NATO-backed "stay behind network" which first broke the surface in Italy (as Operation Gladio) but which was a factor in most if not all Western European countries after WW2. Daniele Ganser's particular focus is the role of Gladio in Spain. Our second speaker is Sibel Edmonds, whose main focus is the Turkish deep state and its relationship to the War On Terror.
