Inside The Illegal Arms Bazaar at Redstone
"Public Safety" is a Non-Issue and Confusion Reigns…
by Al Martin
In recent days, the FBI has become very concerned about leaks, which have
been exposing the illegal activities of the illegal arms dealers at Redstone
Arsenal. The Bureau has committed fresh resources to uncover the individuals
who are leaking information to the Al Martin Raw website about continuing
frauds at the US Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. One of the sources, the
Friendly Colonel, believes he may be in danger, since it is always dangerous
to uncover fraud and malfeasance and to tell the truth about government,
especially when it relates to government wrongdoing.
In an update on the "Marshmallow Story," the illegal sale of anti-personnel
explosive devices to illegal Chinese arms dealers (see "Those Wacky Arms
Dealers at Redstone" www.almartinraw.com/column18.html), it seems that the
transactions of "Mr. Murphy" (an alias for a Chinese arms merchant) are going
along well.
"Mr. Murphy" has now rented enormous storage facilities near the Redstone
Arsenal for his " marshmallows" pending the June 15 shipping date. The
Friendly Colonel had no idea of the quantity of marshmallows he bought. By
the time the purchase order is fulfilled, he said that three ships will be
needed to transport them to Mexico. The first delivery took up three of the
biggest warehouses that were available, ordinarily used by heavy equipment
operator/ contractors to store equipment. He was surprised at the enormous
quantity.
One of the topics of discussion at the weekly meeting/dinner was the
increased nervousness because everyone realizes there's a leak, and the FBI
is making everyone more nervous because of their investigations. Apparently
(although it's not identified), there is one or more investigative committees
from congress which are getting closer and closer.
The general in charge announced that there is going to be "Officers' Target
Practice" this week in the event they're going to have to shoot some
"hostiles."
The "hostiles" that the general is referring to are investigators.
There were also many comments on the failure of the test of the new VMX43
aircraft, which was a loss of $185 million to the taxpayers.
The general actually laughed and said, "$185 million? We defraud the American
taxpayers more than that every year in food and booze."
The VMX43 project was a collaboration between defense contractors. The
general thought these guys that built this thing "must be pikers if they
can't figure out how to defraud the people out of more than that." These wise
cracks just come out of them. They don't care who hears it. They really
believe they're impervious. They really think that they're invincible and
even bullet-proof.
They are however "concerned" about the "public safety" of what they're doing.
You must remember that everything that is being done at these arms sales is
illegal. The weapons sales are themselves illegal. The people buying them are
illegal arms dealers. They're being illegally sold and transported illegally
to other countries. Every step of the way is illegal.
People need to be reminded that even though they think these activities at
Redstone Arsenal appears to be "business as usual," that every step in the
process is an illegal act.
This is a public safety issue. All of these highly explosive "marshmallows"
(very volatile anti-personnel devices) are being shipped in cardboard
banker's boxes stuffed with newspapers. They are transported by ordinary
rent-a-truck companies.
"Mr. Murphy" thought this would be the cheapest way to do it. The boxes are
all sealed up and marked "educational materials." As has been mentioned
before, if just one of these five-ton capacity trucks loaded with these
"marshmallows" were to explode, it would be a simultaneous explosion. It is
enough explosive power to flatten several city blocks. These weapons are
being transported without any license and without any permits because they
are illegally marked in a regular rental truck with no precautions at all.
And they are being driven through high-density civilian areas.
What they've always been concerned about is a major accident in which a lot
of civilians get killed. All the illegal weapons being illegally shipped out
of Redstone Arsenal include both conventional and non-conventional munitions.
Most are being shipped over the road, and since it's illegal, and since
they're all being mislabeled as something other than weapons, no precautions
are being taken whatsoever.
In addition, the weapons which leave illegally via air are transported by
aircraft whose safety is considered marginal at best. These aircraft are
afflicted with the same problems that the Department of Defense has with all
its aircraft. The
