It was as if Thatcher and Reagan had adopted a keynote of situationist theory : abundance is dangerous to power, and privation, if carefully managed, is safe. A mammoth debt encourages fear, which is never revolutionary; a high level of unemployment ensures a ready pool of strike breakers, translates the curse of a bad job into a blessing.

Sheik Zayed himself, who had more-or-less financed the making of BCCI, paid Abu Nidal $17 million in protection fees in 1984 alone.

In early 1984, the United States Air Force illegally seized eighty-nine thousand acres of public land, known as the Groom Range in order to further restrict access to Area 51. The decision to control access was made after consultation with local Bureau of Land Management officials and after USAF Headquarters had conferred with the Air Force Secretariat.

Sieberling: Is it true that the Air Force has already acted to restrict public use of the Groom Range are?
Rittenhouse: Yes sir, it is true. We have asserted the right to control the surface access and egress to the extent of requesting people not to go in and out.
S: Under what legal authority was that done; that right asserted?
R: As far as I know sir, there is none; except decisions were made at a much, much higher level than mine that that be done.
S: There is no higher level than the laws of the United States.
R: No, sir, I understand, and we can describe that further if you would like, sir.
S: I would like.
R: In closed briefing.
S: Why would that have to be in a closed briefing?
R: I can't discuss it, sir...
R: As I stated earlier, originally we had no legal authority but we asserted the right to request people not to enter that area.
S: Now?
R: We legally did not have the authority.
