ST Kinetics formerly Chartered Industries of Singapore (CIS)
was utilised by the Reagan administration to set up arms deals with Iran.
The Israelis also played no small part in this drama, also
acting as a US proxy, selling in particular replacement parts to the Iranians
who possessed a largely US built military apparatus from its days under the
Shah. The Israelis got them the parts to keep their American built jets in the
air.
This has continued to this day.
It is quite apparent from the historical record that many in
the American Right misunderstand the nature of the Israeli relationship vis-à-vis
Iran. In addition many on the Right and in particular its 'Christian' variant
have grossly misunderstood the nature and character of Zionist Israel, its
place in the world and certainly its agenda.
Some will argue that state action against these arms dealers
demonstrates they are 'rogue' elements within the officially sanctioned
apparatus. It must be remembered that a big part of intelligence operations
especially in the US is done under the radar of official US policy. The CIA and
its partners often fear exposure by other US agencies. They're often hiding
their activities from other US agencies (in particular the FBI) and the
Congress due to the illegal nature of their actions. The CIA is itself a rogue
Praetorian Guard that makes and executes its own policy. Its reach is wide and
penetrates many aspects of the US government and business world.
This has led to the longstanding war between the CIA and the
FBI, the impossibility of getting them to cooperate let alone collaborate on
many points and it has also led to many semi-comical situations where they are
tailing each other's agents etc...
ST Kinetics continues to work with Israel in expanding arms
sales across East Asia. Despite some disputes and competition the Indonesian
arms industry is also experiencing a renaissance with full American support.
The US continues to expand its relationship with the
Singaporean Arms Industry and military.
Though several years old this article lets the reader peek
into the world of US military operations as they work with foreign militaries,
and cultivate relationships with them. Numerous American bases contain a surprising
number of foreign military nationals in the United States for training etc.
This is an old tool utilised by the American Empire. It
generates revenue, increases American power and gives the US additional tools
to manipulate undesired situations.
