The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider

According to "The Conspirators," the crimes and cover-ups of Iran-Contra have never ended. Government-sanctioned drug trafficking. Wholesale fraud. Illicit weapons deals. They're all still part of an ongoing white-collar criminal enterprise that's entrenched in Washington, DC.

The high-level perps have never been indicted. In fact, they have even been brought back to power as the new Bush Jr. Administration.

A former officer in Naval Intelligence, Lt. Cmdr. Al Martin, US Navy (Ret.) has written a powerful expose' of the criminal exploits of Washington powerbrokers and their minions. This book, in essence, reveals the hidden history of America—from the 1980s, through the 1990s, to the present day.

The book's premise is simple. Organized crime—actually a white-collar crime syndicate comprised of government bureaucrats, military officers, intelligence officers and con men or "beltway bandits"—has in essence taken over the US Government.

The so-called public sector has been privatized to such an extent that the US Government is basically an empty shell. Instead, the fraudsters (government contractors and their ilk) continue to feed at the government trough, supported by US taxpayer largesse.
