The United States and the rest of the world face the most sophisticated underwater threat by drug smugglers and terrorists by covert NARCO submarines and semi-submersibles. What was only the technological domain of the two major superpowers is now available to anyone with money and a desire to operate an export business of drugs or nuclear terror. Signal Mountain, TN (PRWEB) April 21, 2010 -- The newest privately released book on the US market called, Drug Subs (www.drugsubs.com) will forever change readers' ideas about the safety net of the United States security. www.drugsubs.com According to DrugSubs.com, 30% of all the cocaine in the US worth $21 billion dollars is smuggled in by fiberglass semi submersible fiberglass submarines manufactured deep in the jungles of Columbia. DrugSubs.com reports, North Korea is also supplying drug cartels in Columbia and rouge nations like Iran with deeper operating submarines for drug smuggling and terrorist's missions. "The first terrorist nuclear weapon detonation on United States soil may actually be delivered by a North Korean built submarine or a Columbian built semi-submersible launched by an offshore commercial ship" Dr. Robert Spalding, author of Drug Subs. DrugSubs.com informs the reader that the newly discovered secret fleet of narco submarines were for years nicknamed "Big Foot" by the US NAVY because no one in the military had ever seen one until1997 when one was captured. The book, Drug Subs, written by Dr Robert Spalding is the first factual book in print that describes the history, the current manufacturing process and the future of the clandestine Narco Fleet that now sails world wide with near impunity. This 37,000 word book is pictorially documented with unique photos of this new underwater threat plaguing not only the United States but Europe, Africa and other countries as well. Drug Subs outlines how the next major terrorist attack may very well be by our less protected coastlines of the United States rather than by air attack. You can only get Dr Spalding's books through his online store.

This book explores the innovations and advances in terrorist tactics and technologies to help fill the gap in the contemporary terrorism literature by developing an empirical theory of terrorist innovation. The key question concerns the global historical trends in terrorist innovation, as well as the critical factors responsible for the differences in practices among terrorist organizations. The first part of the book provides an overview of the tactics and technology used by terrorists in the last century and identifies the key trends for the future. The second part compares four differing terrorist organizations with the aim of identifying key factors in producing innovative tactics and weaponry. The volume provides a historical explanation of the trends in terrorist innovation and also has policy relevance, as the ability to identify signature characteristics of innovation-prone terrorist organizations is a critical element in predictive threat assessment. Understanding Terrorist Innovation will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies, security studies and political science in general.

Human trafficking and smuggling of migrants: Four of the 12 illicit flows reviewed in this report involve human beings. The first two concern movement between the countries of the region, one for general labour and one for sexual exploitation. The third concerns the smuggling of migrants from the region to the rich countries of the West, and the last focuses on migrants smuggled through the region from the poor and conflicted countries of South and Southwest Asia. Drug trafficking: The production and use of opiates has a long history in the region, but the main opiate problem in the 21st century involves the more refined form of the drug: heroin. In addition, methamphetamine has been a threat in parts of East Asia for decades (in the form of yaba tablets), but crystal methamphetamine has recently grown greatly in popularity. Virtually every country in the region has some crystal methamphetamine users, and some populations consume at very high levels.Resources: Resource-related crimes include those related to both extractive industries, such as the illegal harvesting of wildlife and timber, and other crimes that have a negative impact on the environment, such as the dumping of e-waste and the trade in ozone-depleting substances. In all cases, the threat goes beyond borders, jeopardizing the global environmental heritage. These are therefore crimes of inherent international significance, though they are frequently dealt with lightly under local legislation.Counterfeit goods: The trade in counterfeit goods is often perceived as a "soft" form of crime, but can have dangerous consequences for public health and safety. Fraudulent medicines in particular pose a threat to public health, and their use can foster the growth of treatment resistant pathogens.

The acclaimed investigative reporter and author of Confronting Collapse examines the global forces that led to 9/11 in this provocative exposé. The attacks of September 11, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon examines how such a conspiracy was possible through an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narco-traffic, intelligence and militarism—without which 9/11 cannot be understood. In reality, 9/11 and the resulting "War on Terror" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil—the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization—is driving the elites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story of corruption and greed. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which we are all now making our way.
