Operation Popeye
Operation Popeye (Operation Intermediary / Operation Compatriot) was a US military cloud seeding project (running from March 20, 1967 until July 5, 1972) during the Vietnam war to extend the monsoon season over North Vietnam, specifically the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The operation seeded Vietnamese clouds with silver iodide, resulting in the targeted areas seeing an extension of the monsoon period an average of 30 to 45 days. As the continuous rainfall slowed down the truck traffic, it was considered relatively successful.[1] The 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron carried out the operation to "make mud, not war."
Bayer Aspirin
Bayer became part of IG Farben, a conglomerate of German chemical industries which formed the financial core of the Nazi regime. IG Farben owned 42.5% of the company that manufactured Zyklon B [citation needed], a chemical used in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. When the Allies split IG Farben after World War II for involvement in several Nazi war crimes, Bayer reappeared as an individual business. Bayer executive Fritz ter Meer, sentenced to seven years in prison by the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, was made head of the supervisory board of Bayer in 1956, after his release.

“Bait thirty years ago was calamari,” Pauly told me. “Now it is served in a restaurant. It is very nice. But it was bait before.“

Iraq Veterans Website-Military Industrial Complex Attacked U.S. On 9/11
An independent panel has sharply criticized the Army for failing to train enough experienced contracting officers, deploy them quickly to war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan and ensure that they properly manage billions of dollars in contracts to supply American troops in the field.
And it all goes back the real reason we invaded Iraq

The Six Corporations Who Control the Media
When Ben Bagdikian's important work The Media Monopoly was first published in 1983, 50 corporations owned most of American media. With the fifth edition in 1997, only 10 corporations control almost everything we see, hear and read, leading to loss of depth, range and quality in the news and limitation of subjects addressed on the national agenda to those that won't rock the corporate boat. Here`s a good article from a former FCC commissioner back in 1995..
And the Columbia Journalism Reviews guide to what the major media companies own.
