-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.weberman.com/monica.htm THE BLOODLESS COUP RICHARD MELLON SCAIFE IN 1984 THE ATTEMPTED OVERTHROW OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES LAST MODIFIED Sunday, January 24, 1999 "I do believe that this is a battle," the first lady said. "Look at the very people who are involved in this. They have popped up in other settings. The great story here for anybody willing to find it, write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president. A few journalists have kind of caught on to it and explained it, but it has not yet been fully revealed to the American public. And actually, you know, in a bizarre sort of way, this may do it." -- Hillary Clinton on NBC's Today, Jan 27, 1998 The Christian Far right is behind this move for impeachment. The Christian Far Right has captured control of the Republican Party. The so-called Republican "moderates" who say Clinton hasn't confessed enough for them are full of shit. The 81 questions that philanderer Henry Hyde sent the president are 81 variations of "When did you stop beating your wife?" Like Kenneth Starr (Inspector Shithound), these mean-spirited idiots are out to get the President as an act of vengeance at any cost to the nation. What the neo fascist Christian Far Right is really trying to do is impose its puritanical morality on the rest of the nation. --Al Aronowitz REMOVAL SWING VOTES Sen.

I have neither the resources or the power to do so. However, if there was a conspiracy, all of the players in Zippergate had a background in the intelligence community and were capable of carrying out a bloodless coup. The impeachment of the President of the United States was caused by a group of intelligence community professionals who worked together under the auspices of billionaire DICK SCAIFE. LINDA TRIPP must have been aware of the Scaife organization when she was White House, Special Assistant to the Assistant to the President for Media Affairs from 1991 to 1992. In this position she was able to examine and interact with the media outlets in Washington. Having had a background in counter-insurgency, she, naturally, gravitated toward those financed by SCAIFE, since Scaife was behind much of the far right's operations. SCAIFE was connected to LUCIANNE GOLDBERG. LINDA TRIPP claims conservative commentator Tony Snow turned her on to GOLDBERG. Snow, who once worked for the Moonies, verified this. The Moonies were financed by Japanese war criminals. It was no accident that LUCIANNE GOLDBERG worked with ALFRED REGNERY, a man with isolationist and pro-Nazi forebearers. Regnery was friends with KEN STARR, and RICHARD SCAIFE, who had worked in the CIA for decades and runs his own version of the Agency whose purpose is to bring down President Clinton. This researcher detects the hand of a rightwing invisible government attempting to overthrow a democratically elected President, in a bloodless coup. MY METHODOLOGY In the mid-1970's I worked with Congressman Henry Gonzalez, of San Antonio, Texas, in an investigation of the Kennedy assassination. I compiled a data base on Coup D'Etats and political assassinations. I compared the names of individuals involved in the Clinton-Lewinsky affair against this data base and against a master index of intelligence books indexes known as Public Information Research, and I detected a correlation. TONY SNOW According to the Washington Post: Tripp's discussions with agent Goldberg about a book began in the summer of 1996 after a furor over publication of Gary W. Aldrich's "Unlimited Access: an FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House." Full of assertions about drug use, rampant theft, open gay/lesbian sex and late night disappearances by the president, it was assailed harshly and repeatedly by the White House, but rose to the best-seller lists nonetheless. In her grand jury testimony, Tripp said she was upset to see Aldrich "smeared in the media" when she considered most of what he had written "based on my observations" to have been truthful. Having been urged by a friend, Fox-TV commentator and former Bush speechwriter Tony Snow to write a book, Tripp contacted him and he put her in touch with Goldberg. "[T]he last words Lucianne Goldberg said to me is, 'Who do you think you are, the queen of England?'‚" Tripp recalled. "And she slammed the phone down and I didn't talk to her again until the end of September of '97." Goldberg told the FBI that Snow passed word that Tripp wanted to see her again and when they spoke, "Tripp provided just enough information for Goldberg to be interested in the story." At their meeting, Goldberg said, Tripp told her she had "explosive" information about a young woman, also working at the Pentagon, who was having an affair with Clinton. In 1991, Snow took a sabbatical from journalism to work in the White House for George Bush, first as chief speechwriter (deputy assistant to the president for communications and director of speechwriting), and later as deputy assistant to the president for media affairs (1992-93). Snow began his journalism career in 1979 as an editorial writer for the Greensboro Record in North Carolina. He later served as an editorial writer at The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, VA. (1981-82), editorial page editor of the Daily Press in Newport News (1982-84), deputy editorial page editor of The Detroit News (1984-87), and editorial page editor of The Washington Times (1987-91). Snow received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Davidson College, North Carolina, in 1977, and studied philosophy and economics at the University of Chicago during the 1978-79 academic year. He taught school in Kenya and in Cincinnati, and worked as an advocate for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled in North Carolina. Born in Berea, KY, in 1955 and raised in Cincinnati, Snow is married to the former Jill Ellen Walker. They live in Virginia with their three children, a son and two daughters, and their three dogs and two cats. "The notion that she was a Republican mole in the Clinton White House doesn't make any sense," said conservative columnist Tony Snow, who introduced Tripp to Goldberg. But "it's reasonable to ask what her motives are," he added.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES AND THE MOONIES News World Communicatons, which owns the Washington Times, consists of, among others, Arnaud de Borchgrave, and Bo Hi Pak. Borchgrave was a Director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Bo Hi Pak, the president of NWC, served as liaison to the U.S. intelligence community while posted in Washington as South Korean military attache in the 1960s and early '70s, according to the Koreagate inquiry. Pak is also president of CAUSA (Confederation of the Associations for Unity of the Societies of the Americas), the political arm of the Unification Church. CAUSA was instrumental in providing aid to the Nicaraguan contras. Since its inception in 1982, the Washington Times has gained a circulation of about 100,000 and received the endorsement of President Ronald Reagan, who reads it every day. Founding editor and publisher James Whelan resigned in July 1984, charging that top Unification Church (UC) officials had taken over the paper in violation of UC guarantees of independence. In 1987, Times editorial page editor William Cheshire and several staff members also resigned over UC interference. Reverend Sun Yung Moon's organization, the Unification Church, funds The Washington Times. Most of Moon's money comes from Japan. For almost 20 years there have been consistent reports that one of Moon's most important financial supporters and advisors is Ryoichi Sasakawa. In 1969, Moon and Sasakawa, together, formed the Freedom Leadership Foundation (FLF), which lobbied the U.S. for a hawkish position in Vietnam. One of Sasakawa's favorite projects for the Moon organization was Win Over Communism (WOC), which was a fund raiser for the Unification Church. Sasakawa. was the WOC's chairman. Sasakawa. is clearly one of the richest men in Japan. Much of his money comes from the Japanese motorboat racing industry. Since it was legalized in Japan, it has become a $14 billion sport. Sasakawa. describes himself as "the world's richest Fascist". In addition to his riches, according to author Walter Pat Choate, "for more than half a century Sasakawa. has been one of the primary political brokers inside Japan". Choate claims that Sasakawa is part of Japan's attempts to influence America's politics and policies. "Many of Sasakawa's and Moon's operations parallel each other. They operate in the same way, giving away money, a great deal of attention to media and media organizations which operate across national borders, and the maintenance of a very right wing conservative focus," states Choate. According to Choate, Sasakawa's political activities go back 50 years, when he formed one of the most radical and Fascist parties inside Japan. "He was one of those individual business leaders who was calling for war with the United States in the months preceding the attack on Pearl Harbor," claims Choate. In 1931, Sasakawa. formed the Kokusui Taishuto, a militarist political movement, and according to a U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps report after World War Two, Sasakawa. was "one of the most active Fascist organizers prior to the war." He was later imprisoned for plotting the assassination of a former Premier. In 1939, Sasakawa. even flew to Rome in one of his own aircraft to meet personally with Benito Mussolini to help arrange the Axis alliance between Italy, Germany and Japan. Sasakawa organized Japan's black shirts patterned after Mussolini's. Ten months before the outbreak of World War Two, Sasakawa. toured the South Pacific in a flying boat. There still exist letters which he wrote to his close friend Admiral Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, and it was Sasakawa. who was virtually Yamamoto's only political contact to the far right wing in Japan. Another prominent Japanese war criminal who became an important member and supporter of the Moon organization was Yoshio Kodama. Having become an ultra-nationalist, terrorist leader in Japan at the age of 15, Kodama joined scores of secret societies with names like Blood Brotherhood, Holy War Execution League, Federation of Radical Patriotic Workers, and Capital Rise Asia Academy. He made his living working for those murderous groups. These yakuza armies were bankrolled by and served the interests of wealthy industrials, the police and the Army. They broke up labor unions, "protected" factories and offices, and assassinated opposition leaders. Having participated in a failed plot to assassinate, in one stroke, all the most powerful men in Japan, Kodama ended up in prison for attempted assassination and other terrorist acts. By 1940, Kodama had set up a strong working relationship with Japan's military intelligence apparatus, and served on many secret missions into Manchuria. The work landed him the lucrative position of supplying the Japanese Navy during World War Two. By one account, it was Sasakawa. who asked Kodama to do this work. He established the Kodama Agency, which according to U.S. Army Counterintelligence Corps records, consisted of "systematically looting China of its raw materials". In order to accomplish this supply network, Kodama dealt in heroin, guns, tungsten, gold, salt, iron, owned farms, fisheries, an orphanage, and molybdenum mine, a munitions factory in China, industrial diamonds and radium, which he stole from the hospitals in Shanghai. Eventually he became known as "the man behind the Kempei Tai (secret police). When World War Two ended, Kodama was 34, a brigadier general, Cabinet advisor, and possessed millions of dollars worth of platinum, industrial diamonds, over $175 million in foreign currency, plus liquid assets. At the end of World War Two, both Sasakawa. and Kodama were classified as Class A war criminals by the American Occupation Forces in Japan. According to American Intelligence, "Sasakawa. appears to be a man potentially dangerous to Japan's political future...He has been squarely behind Japanese military aggression and anti-foreignism for more than 20 years. He is a man of wealth and not too scrupulous about its use...He is not above wearing any new cloak that opportunism may offer." In 1946, an American Army officer attached to the International Military Tribunal in Japan, said of Kodama, "He committed numerous acts of violence in China in acquisition by foul means or fair of commodities and goods belonging to the Chinese," and that "ten years from today, Kodama is going to be a great leader in Japan." The officer's assessment of Kodama was bleak. "His long and fanatic involvement in ultra-nationalistic activities, violence included, and his skill in appealing to youth, make him a man who, if released from internment, would surely be a grave security risk...Persistent rumors as to his black market profits in his Shanghai period, plus his known opportunism, are forceful arguments that he would be as unscrupulous in trade as he was in ultra-nationalism." But when the Cold War began, U.S. officials in Japan began to fear the Communists more than the Fascists, a pattern too familiar in Europe. Sasakawa., Kodama and other prominent Japanese war criminals were quietly released from prison in 1948, and many went on to play a dominant role in the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party, the most important political party in Asia, which has controlled the political destiny of Japan ever since. It has been reported that Kodama's release from Sugamo Prison was the work of the CIA. As a result, many of the very same men in Japan who had worked closely with Nazi Germany a decade before, again assumed the leadership role in Japan. By 1958, Kodama was one of the most powerful men in the Orient. That same year, he signed a contract with the Lockheed Corporation to help influence the Japanese government to reverse its intention to purchase the Grumman F-111 for the Japanese Air Force. To do this, Kodama used an American agent who had lost his U.S. citizenship by working with the Japanese during World War Two in Manchuria, another intelligence agent who had worked in China, and other associated politicians, including war crimes suspects whom he had met in Sugamo Prison. Among the people who helped him to secure the contract for Lockheed were General Minoru Genda, the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor, who had recently been appointed commander-in-chief of the new Japanese Air Force. Kodama had helped him in this new appointment. Lockheed received the Japanese contract and General Genda, who was a primary party in the bombing of Pearl Harbor 17 years earlier, received the U.S. Legion of Merit award from the U.S. Air Force. Moon, Sasakawa. and Kodama first got together in the 1960s to form the Asian People's Anti-Communist League. Created with the help of South Korean intelligence agents and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, the League dedicated itself to uniting Fascists throughout Asia and combatting Communism. The League set up and funded Moon's Freedom Center in the United States in 1964. Kodama was chief advisor for the Moon subsidiary, Win Over Communism, an organization which helped to protect his investments in South Korea. In 1966, the League merged with the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations, another Fascist organization, to form the World Anti-Communist League. Dedicated to fighting Communism and promoting Fascism, and spreading to nearly 100 nations on six continents, the World Anti-Communist League was headed by John Singlaub, one of the key players in the Iran-Contra scandal. According to Sara Diamond, the League was a "multinational network of Nazi war criminals, Latin American death squad leaders, North American racists and anti-Semites, and Fascist politicians from every continent." The headquarters for the League is in the United States, in the offices of Moon's Freedom Center. WHAT DID THE CIA KNOW ABOUT CLINTON'S SEXUAL PERVERSION? I know that the CIA has an interest in Zippergate from the presence of Plato Cacheris, who is always on the scene when the Agency needs him. The problem here is that it is hard to tell where RICHARD SCAIFE ends and the CIA starts. I suspect that the CIA came into possession of intelligence information on President Clinton's sexual practices long before SCAIFE did. What they did with this information I cannot say for certain. Perhaps the Agency decided to accelerate Clinton's demise by leaking info to SCAIFE who siced LINDA TRIPP on Lewinsky through GOLDBERG. The Starr report indicated that Clinton believed the intelligence community was interested in him: "He told her (Lew insky) that he suspected that a foreign embassy (he did not specify which one) was tapping his telephones and he proposed cover stories. If ever questioned she should say the two of them were just friends. If anyone ever asked about their phone sex, she should say she knew their calls were being monitored all along, and the phone sex was just a put on." There are very few foreign embassies with the capability of tapping the secure White House telephone line - and why would they blow an invaluable source of information by questioning Monica about phone sex? Who does the questioning in this country? The FBI. By law, the CIA has access to all FBI documents. President Clinton believed that the FBI or CIA was tapping his phone, but was afraid to relay this fear to Monica, who might have freaked out, so he said it was a foreign embassy. SCAIFE AND THE CIA RICHARD SCAIFE's father was in the OSS. SCAIFE himself went back to the early days of the Cold War when the CIA was involved in countering the Soviet Union's government financed pro-communist propaganda campaign. The Agency set up numerous proprietaries to do this, and needed foundations to launder the CIA funds which financed these proprietaries. These foundations intermingled CIA money with their own, making it more difficult to trace the money back to the CIA. In some cases these Foundations became an informal part of the CIA. Key people in these organizations were given Operational Approval and became agents of the CIA. RICHARD SCAIFE was one of them. For all we know the CIA may still be funding the SCAIFE Foundations and taxpayers money might be being used to unseat the President of the United States. Did CIA funding of various Foundations end when the Cold War ended or is it still going on? Since Communism is no longer the threat it once was, my guess is that CIA funds are going to pro-free enterprise publishers and foundations. THE THEORY LINDA TRIPP: THE GOLDBERG/TRIPP SPY RING LUCIANNE GOLDBERG was running LINDA TRIPP while LINDA TRIPP was in the Pentagon. Why not the White House? GOLDBERG had ties to Richard Nixon, who tampered with American democracy by running operations against his political opponents. GOLDBERG also has strong ties to the CIA. A few well financed, determined conservatives, spied on the President, exposed him, and now impeachment proceedings in the Judiciary Committee are underway, headed by another individual who receives money indirectly from SCAIFE, Representative HENRY HYDE. LINDA TRIPP was a key player, get it through your heads, she was a fucking mole. Remember: Monica told her story to 11 people, but only one ratted her out, and this person could be traced back to Clinton hater RICHARD SCAIFE. LINDA TRIPP CHRONOLOGY LINDA TRIPP grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in Whippany, N.J. A New Yorker article was published in March, stated that LINDA TRIPP was arrested in 1969, at the age of 19, for grand larceny and later plead guilty to loitering. LINDA TRIPP said that she understood the charges to have been expunged, and that she had answered her military questionnaire truthfully to the best of her knowledge. She married at 21, had two children. She followed her military husband to Europe, where she took her first government post in 1984 in the Department of the Army, HQ Allied Forces Europe, as Personal Assistant to the United States Representative, Brunssum, Belgium 1984 to 1987. She was in the Department of the Army, Army Intelligence Command, Classified unit (administrative assistant), Fort Meade, Maryland in 1987. She was in the Department of the Army, on a Classified Assignment (Operations Assistant), Fort Bragg, North Carolina from 1988 to 1989. >From the New York Times, January 26, 1998, by Tim Weiner and Judith Miller: WASHINGTON -- "White House officials wondering how a trusted aide came to create such a potentially deadly political weapon may look to LINDA TRIPP's experience working for highly classified Army intelligence and commando units in the 1980s. As an aide to the Delta Force, she knew that keeping and maintaining secret records is crucial in a crisis, she said in sworn testimony four years ago.... "I've worked on the covert side of the Department of Defense," she testified before a House committee investigating the [Vince Foster] suicide...." ORIGINS OF THE DELTA FORCE Colonel C.A. Beckwith of the United States Army was assigned to the Special Air Service unit of the British Army (S.A.S.) from 1962 to 1963. The S.A.S. is a specialized force used for much of the British army's undercover work, which would range from operating behind enemy lines to the surveillance and infiltration of terrorists groups. In recent times the S.A.S. have been involved with operations in Bosnia, where they have been used as forward air control representation for NATO aircraft involved in air strikes on Serb positions. They also helped American forces involved in the invasion of Haiti in the Caribbean. After returning to the US Army, C.A. Beckwith started the planning of a new Special Forces unit for the US Army. On November 19, 1977 the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta was created with the SAS as a model. The SFOD-Delta unit were created in secrecy. The Delta was intended as a overseas counter-terrorist unit specialized in hostages rescue, barricade operations and specialized reconnaissance. The composition and strength of Delta Force are closely guarded secrets. The US still refuses to admit it's existence, even when it's commonly know that they took part in the failed attempt to rescue 66 American hostages from the US Embassy in Tehran in November 1979. Delta force's main function is as a hostages rescue unit. The recruits for Delta Force are volunteers mainly from the 82nd Airborne, Special Force Green Berets and the Rangers. They are trained in all ascepts of Counter-terrorism, and they are said to be the world's best specialists in CQB (Close Quarters Battle). The Deltas are know to have seen action in Panama and in the Gulf War, where they along with the Green Berets located Scud launchers. She was Department of the Army, Office of Deputy Under Secretary for Operations Research, Secretary/Stenographer 1990. Divorced in the early '90s. Linda became White House, Special Assistant to the Assistant to the President for Media Affairs 1991 to 1992. This was the Bush Administration. She was promoted to White House, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff 1992. LINDA TRIPP was alleged to be a source of never-proven allegations about President George Bush's personal life. July 20, 1993 Vince Foster commits suicide. Vince Foster's death was investigated by Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr, who wanted to subpeona Foster's attorney's records claiming that attorney-client priviledge ended after the client died. Starr took the same party line as the rest of the SCAIFE propaganda machine, such as AIM and Western Journalism Center, who alleged that Clinton had Foster murdered. This was essentially floating a false new story. LINDA TRIPP was the last person to speak with Vincent Foster before he committed suicide. What was she trying to find out? Did she know he was mentally disraught and was she using this opportunity to pump him for derrogatory information on President Clinton? Note LINDA TRIPP's interest in Foster coincides with SCAIFE's. Criticized the White House treatment of Foster's death as suspicious in a 1994 book proposal reported in the New York Times. Mid 1994 LINDA TRIPP was forced out of her job at the White House counsel's office and began work at the Pentagon. In testimony to Congress in 1995, LINDA TRIPP defended White House conduct under the Clinton Administration in the aftermath of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster's 1993 suicide. June 21, 1996 Lewinsky begins internship. April 1996 Lewinsky tranferred to Pentagon. At the Pentagon, Lewinsky meets LINDA TRIPP, a career government worker. Summer 1996: Lewinsky begins to tell fellow Pentagon employee Linda LINDA TRIPP of her relationship with Clinton. How did Linda and Monica hook up at the Pentagon, which is a really big place. Did GOLDBERG contact someone in the Agency who was also working for SCAIFE, or contact someone who had once worked for the Agency, and was she told that Monica Lewinsky was another target of our horney President? Knowing this, did LINDA TRIPP befriend (target) Lewinsky. What were the mechanics of the LINDA TRIPP transfer? What is the chronology? The Starr report did not focus at all on this aspect of the scandal. What attracted LINDA TRIPP to Lewinsky? Coincidence? Gossip? Or intelligence information? KATHLEEN WILLEY August 1997: LINDA TRIPP saw Kathleen Willey looking "disheveled" after leaving Clinton's office. Cathrine Willey was a former flight attendant married to Edward Willey Jr., a Richmond, Virginia, attorney 13 years her senior, since 1971. They were in debt, and Edward Willey faced prosecution for embezzling $275,000 from clients. On the day his wife was groped by the President, Edward Willey drove into a woods near Richmond and killed himself. When Willey was ordered by a judge to give sworn testimony in the case, sources say her affidavit confirmed LINDA TRIPP's account of unwanted advances. August 11 1997: Newsweek story is published in which LINDA TRIPP says Willey told her Clinton made a pass at her. Robert Bennett calls LINDA TRIPP a liar. October 1 1997: Paula Jones, whose sexual harassment suit against Clinton is scheduled to be heard in May, announces she has switched lawyers and accepted financial support from the Rutherford Institute. The Rutherford Institute receives three anonymous phone calls in a female voice that Lewinsky may have had sex with Clinton, according to sources. LINDA TRIPP said this was her. In the White House LINDA TRIPP existed in the milieu of the intelligence community. According to Monica's Grand Jury testimony: "LINDA TRIPP called me at work on October 6, 1997 and told me that her friend Kate from the NSC...had heard rumors about me and that I would never work in the White House again.." Kate Friedrich Special Assistant, National Security Advisor? Click HERE to learn more about the National Security Council. LINDA TRIPP knew Clinton's sex life could bring down Clinton's presidency and was reporting to "literary agent" Lucianne S. GOLDBERG who was once an asset of the CIA, and may still be today. October 1997 LUCIANNE GOLDBERG, son Jonah, Isikoff and LINDA TRIPP meet to discuss tapes on which Lewinsky alleges to LINDA TRIPP that she had a sexual relationship with Clinton and that he and Jordan advised her to deny it. Isikoff had left the Washington Post over their refusal to run his piece on Paula Jones. Isikoff had authored a Post piece knocking Senator Kerry for exposing drug links to Iran Contra. The cover story was that the taped conversations were intended for a book she was planning to write with the assistance of GOLDBERG, which LINDA TRIPP had pitched as "Behind Closed Doors -- What I Saw at the Clinton White House." LINDA TRIPP backed out of the deal, however, citing editorial differences and worries about her job. LINDA TRIPP's desk remains waiting for her undisturbed in the basement of the Pentagon. For now, she is on flex-time and claims that she has been demoted to mere menial work, though her salary remains $88,000 a year. LINDA TRIPP associates say her anger at being labeled a liar by Robert Bennett was one reason she decided to record her conversations with Lewinsky. She wished to clear her name, and was advised by her literary agent LUCIANNE GOLDBERG that the best way to do that would be to tape her conversations with Lewinsky. January 7, 1998: Lewinsky signs an affidavit in the Jones case declaring she "never had a sexual relationship with the president." Her lawyer does not, however, submit the affidavit yet. January 9, 1998: LINDA TRIPP delivers the tapes to her lawyer, Jim Moody. At least a week before LINDA TRIPP called the Office of the Independent Counsel, the OIC had received info on the Lewinsky/ Clinton connection from Jerome M. Marcus, of Berger & Montague, an attorney with connections to the Federalist Society and to the Paula Jones lawsuit. The New York Times reported that besides Mr. Marcus, the group of lawyers that helped Mrs. LINDA TRIPP included Richard W. Porter, a law partner of Mr. STARR'S at the Chicago firm of Kirkland & Ellis, and George T. Conway 3d, a partner at Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz in New York. The three lawyers, who were all members of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization whose events have been attended by Mr. STARR, helped Mrs. LINDA TRIPP find a new lawyer, James A. Moody, who was also a member of the Federalist Society. They then worked together, in secret deliberations with LUCIANNE GOLDBERG to bring Mrs. LINDA TRIPP's tapes and story to Mr. STARR. Ms. GOLDBERG said that she had told these lawyers and several other friends who are politically conservative about Ms. LINDA TRIPP's accusations in late December and early January. "Who else would I go to to get involved in something like this?" Ms. GOLDBERG asked. "The people who have the most axes to grind." The three lawyers who formed a secret bridge between Mrs. LINDA TRIPP and Mr. STARR share involvement in the Paula Jones case, membership in conservative groups and friendships, some of which extended into Mr. STARR'S office. Long before the Lewinsky matter, Mr. Marcus had signed a friend of the court brief filed with the Supreme Court in support of the Jones case and had been a critic of the President. In an Op-Ed article published on Sept. 23 in The Washington Times, Mr. Marcus wrote: "Mr. Clinton's lies didn't just cover up an adulterous act. His lies covered up his selfishness. His lies covered up his total lack of respect for the American people, and his lack of respect for the house of ours in which we have invited him to live for a time." Mr. Conway and Mr. Porter have also done legal work in support of the Jones case. Indeed, Mr. STARR himself was briefly involved in the Jones case: before becoming the Whitewater in dependent counsel in August 1994, he helped the Independent Women's Forum, a conservative organization, file a friend of the court brief in the Jones case. Mr. STARR was not paid for his services. On July 31 of this year, Mr. STARR announced that he was taking an unpaid, indefinite leave of absence from Kirkland & Ellis. The three lawyers went to great lengths to hide their communications with Ms. GOLDBERG and Mr. STARR'S office. In early January, Ms. GOLDBERG had conversations with Mr. Marcus and Mr. Porter to discuss how Mrs. LINDA TRIPP might contact Mr. Starr. In her interview, Ms. GOLDBERG today described Mr. Marcus as "a cutout," who was brought into the matter to keep Mr. Porter's role obscured because of his close ties to Mr. STARR. On Jan. 12, several days after Mr. Marcus's call, Mrs. LINDA TRIPP contacted Mr. Bennett, Mr. STARR'S deputy, from her home in Columbia, Md. Ms. GOLDBERG said Mr. Porter had passed on Mr. Bennett's office phone number, which she gave to Mrs. LINDA TRIPP. LINDA TRIPP spoke with Mr. Bennett for 90 minutes. At 10:30 P.M., three I prosecutors and an F.B.I. agent climbed into a van and rushed to LINDA TRIPP's house. It was Ms. GOLDBERG who had steered Mrs. LINDA TRIPP to Bennett. Ms. GOLDBERG added that she telephoned Mr. Bennett some time in January to discuss Mrs. LINDA TRIPP's accusations, but she refused to say when. Ms. GOLDBERG, who in 1972 was a Nixon campaign informer on George McGovern's Presidential campaign plane, acknowledged that she relished her role as an instigator and source to Mr. Isikoff. "It was cloak and dagger," she said with a laugh, "like the old Nixon days." January 12 1998: LINDA TRIPP brings Kenneth Starr the tapes of her conversations with Lewinsky. January 13 1998: FBI agents equip LINDA TRIPP with a hidden microphone and record her conversation with Lewinsky at the Pentagon City Ritz-Carlton Hotel. January 14 1998: Lewinsky allegedly gives LINDA TRIPP a document to coach her on what to tell Jones's lawyers about the Willey incident. January 16 1998: STARR'S deputies have LINDA TRIPP meet Lewinsky again at the Ritz-Carlton. They intercept Lewinsky. March 16, 1998: Clinton says "nothing improper" happened when he was alone with Kathleen Willey, responding to her accusations aired in an interview on "60 Minutes" the previous night. THE FACTS LINDA TRIPP'S CONNECTION TO THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY An accounting of LINDA TRIPP's past work experience was released by the Pentagon during the controversy over her legal history, and included the following information: Work Experience White House, Executive Assistant to White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum 1993 to ??? (she came to the Pentagon in August 1994) White House, Executive Assistant, worked for senior advisor Bruce Lindsey January 1993 to April 1993 White House, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff 1992 White House, Special Assistant to the Assistant to the President for Media Affairs 1991 to 1992 Department of the Army, Office of Deputy Under Secretary for Operations Research, Secretary/Stenographer 1990 Department of the Army, Classified Assignment (Operations Assistant), Fort Bragg, North Carolina 1988 to 1989 WHAT WAS GOING ON AT FORT BRAGG WHEN LINDA TRIPP WAS THERE This excerpt comes from the December 1, 1998 issue of the New York Times in regard to Bin Laden operative Ali A. Mohamed. In the most notable of these incidents, Mr. Mohamed took leave from the Army base at Fort Bragg, N.C., and told friends that he planned to join the mujahedeen rebel forces in Afghanistan and "kill Russians." After returning, he boasted of his combat exploits to colleagues at the Army's Special Warfare School, prompting two of his superiors to file reports with Army officials at Fort Bragg and with Army intelligence. He thanked another officer, Capt. Michael W. Asimos, for providing him with some unclassified maps of Afghanistan before he left. "I remember Ali coming back at some point in 1988," Captain Asimos recalled, "and telling me how much Ahmad Shah Massoud was pleased that I took him some maps." Mr. Massoud led one of the mujabedeen groups fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. It is not known whether Mr. Mohamed had a relationship with any terrorist organization while in the Army. In retrospect, some of his colleagues say, he had an unusual interest in classified matters. Captain Asimos ran a classified war game at Fort Bragg in 1988 that involved military and intelligence officers from all over the country. He said he had told participants to be careful of what they said in front of Mr. Mohamed, who they said did not hold a security clearance. "I can specifically remember Ali coming down and saying "I want to be involved in this, I want to help, I have a great deal of knowledge here," Captain Asimos recalled. Toward the end of his service in the Army, Mr. Mohamed asked to be introduced to the C.I.A.'s representtive at Fort Bragg, a former Army officer said. The Army officer, unaware that Mr. Mohamed already had a history with the agency, recalls telling the C.I.A. official that Mr. Mohamad has this burning desire to be utilized as an intelligence operative and "you're the logical guy to look at him." The meeting lasted about an hour, the Army officer recalled. Afterward, he said, the C.I.A. official joked that Mr. Mohamed might already be utilized a "spook," using the slang term for espionage agent. "I just kind of laughed," the officer said. "How ridiculous that this guy could possibly be a spook matriculating in this sort of bastion of special operations activity."

She is at the center of everything!! LINDA TRIPP is still the director of the Pentagon's oldest and most prestigious program, the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC). She is a Public Affairs Operations Officer for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs in the Pentagon. Appointed by President Clinton in l994, Linda served as Deputy Director of the program prior to being promoted to Director in 1995. She is now allowed to work out of her home. Of the more than 50 witnesses who have appeared before STARR'S grand jury, LINDA TRIPP testified the longest. LINDA TRIPP's public statements did not address how she became such close friends with Lewinsky. LINDA TRIPP advised Lewinsky to save the seman stained dress and put it in a safety deposit box. LINDA TRIPP and LUCIANNE GOLDBERG planned to steal the dress and consulted Mark Furman about DNA testing. A newly released document indicates that LINDA TRIPP may have doctored the tapes. Could she have done this on her own? LINDA TRIPP: NOT AN INTELLIGENCE AGENT, JUST AVERAGE AMERICAN Abridged text of LINDA TRIPP's statement to the press after concluding her Grand Jury testimony. "I am encouraged that it appears from press reports that Monica (Lewinsky) has decided to cooperate with the independent counsel... I understand that there has been a great deal of speculation about just who I am and how I got here. Well, the answer is simple. I'm you. I'm just like you. I'm an average American who found herself in a situation not of her own making. I'm a suburban mom, who was a military wife for 20 years, and a faithful government employee for 18 years. I never, ever asked to be placed in this position... I became aware between 1993 and 1997 of actions by high government officials that may have been against the law. For that period of nearly five years, the things I witnessed concerning several different subjects made me increasingly fearful that this information was dangerous, very dangerous, to possess. On Jan. 12, 1998, the day I approached the Office of the Independent Counsel, I decided that fear would no longer be my master. ...To cast me in the role of the villain, they have enlisted legions of paid prevaricators, not surprisingly, many in the entertainment industry have chosen to ridicule me as well. Going so far as to even make fun of my appearance in a manner so mean and so cruel that I pray none of you is ever subjected to it...I have never had any political agenda. I still don't." LINDA TRIPP maintains a conspiratorial view of the Clinton White House: "enlisted legions of paid prevaricators." The usual phrase is "paid provocateurs." Interesting. LUCIANNE GOLDBERG'S CIA CONNECTIONS LUCIANNE GOLDBERG, is a CIA connected journalist, who interfaces with several individuals mentioned in the Coup D'Etat in America Political Assassination Data Base. Born Lucianne Steinberger in 1935, GOLDBERG grew up outside Washington, where her father worked as a government physicist. The following is from Nightmare: The Underside of the Nixon Years, by J. Anthony Lukas (Bantam edition, 1977), pp. 218-9: "The third operation belonged to Murray Chotiner. It was a sequel to a similar scheme he had directed in 1968. Chotiner hired two writers to pose as reporters with the Democratic campaigns and send back reports to him under the code name "Mr. Chapman's Friends." ... The first of Mr. Chapman's Friends was Seymour K. Freidin, a veteran journalist then working as a free-lance writer. Freiden had supplied intelligence on the Humphrey campaign for Chotiner in 1968. In March 1971 Chotiner hired Freidin again -- at $1000 a month -- and he reported on the Muskie campaign and others intermittently until August 1972.... In August 1972 he was replaced by another writer, LUCIANNE GOLDBERG, who reported on the McGovern campaign that fall. "They were looking for really dirty stuff," she says. "Who was sleeping with whom, what the Secret Service men were doing with the stewardesses, who was smoking pot on the plane -- that sort of thing." Murray Chotiner is also in this data base. He died under mysterious circumstances. THE KGB REPORTED: "In August, 1973, it was learned that a free-lance writer, LUCIANNE GOLDBERG was paid $1,000 a week by the Republican Party during the 1972 presidential election campaign to keep tabs on the Democratic Party's candidates. Miss GOLDBERG is said to have received a total of more than $10,000 plus expenses. Another free-lance journalist, Seymour Freidin was paid over $10,000 by the Republicans for similar services. Then Jack Anderson wrote in his column that Seymour Freidin was a CIA agent. Freidin apparently realized that Anderson had the proof, so, when other wire service corespondents asked him whether this was true or not, he did not deny it. "I gave my word to Dick Helms," he said, meaning Richard Helms, CIA director 1966-1973." In 1972, GOLDBERG told the McGovern campaign that she worked for the North American Newspaper Alliance and later for Women's News Service. The addresses she listed for both agencies then is the same as her current residence on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The North American Newspaper Alliance was owned by OSS founder Ernest Cuneo, a highly influential Washington, D.C., attorney. [CIA 592-252-B] Ernest Cuneo's clients included United Fruit, and he was a friend of Allen Dulles. Priscilla Johnson, another CIA-linked journalist who worked for NANA interviewed Oswald in the Soviet Union and did a anti-conspiracy book with Marina Oswald!! Priscilla was close with Cord Meyer. Cord Meyer was born on November 10, 1920. His father was a wealthy Long Island real estate developer turned diplomat. He attended Yale University, enlisted in the Marines, and lost an eye and a twin brother during World War II. In April 1945 he married Mary Eno Pinchot, a correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Mary Pinchot was the niece of former Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot. Cord Meyer divorced Pinchot in 1958. Meyer joined the CIA and headed it's Organizational Division. LUCIANNE GOLDBERG was also the agent for Leo Damore& Senatorial Privilege, an expose about Sen. Ted Kennedy & Chappaquiddick incident. And she ghost wrote former FBI agent Gary Aldrich & memoirs, a favorite book of Clinton haters. GOLDBERG, SID editor; b. N.Y.C. Mar. 1, 1931; s.

In 1972, Lasky introduced Mrs. GOLDBERG to Murray Chotiner, Richard Nixon's first dirty trickster. He'd directed Nixon's 1946 smear campaign against Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas, claiming she was a "pink lady" - a communist sympathizer. Chotiner recruited GOLDBERG to spy on McGovern. To gain press credentials, she said she was writing for the Women's News Service, edited by her husband, to which she had sometimes sold freelance stories. After the caper was exposed, both GOLDBERGs offered to sever their ties to the wire service. Mrs. GOLDBERG's offer was accepted. Her husband's wasn't." VICTOR LASKY Victor Lasky, was more than a simple right-wing columnist. He was a CIA operative. Lasky began his career in journalism as a copy boy for The New York Journal American. After Army service in World War II, Victor Lasky became a journalist who "exposed" Communist infiltration of American institutions. In 1955 he wrote for WRKO radio. He covered the Alger Hiss trial, and co-wrote a book about the case entitled Seeds of Treason. From 1956 to 1960, he was a public relations executive with Radio Liberty, a well-known CIA proprietary. From 1962 to 1980 Victor Lasky was a news columnist for the North American Newspaper Alliance. The North American Newspaper Alliance published Victor Lasky's columns attacking the critics of the Warren Commission. In the early 1960's Nelson Rockefeller protested against an alleged investigation of Victor Lasky by the Justice Department. Rockefeller claimed a Justice Department official had made inquires regarding Lasky at the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. [FBI 62-72612-84; FBI 62-7261 NR October 18, (?) 1963] In 1963 Lasky wrote JFK, The Man and the Myth. In 1968 he wrote Robert F. Kennedy, The Myth and the Man. He was the recipient of a $20,000 cash payment from the NIXON White House in the early 1970's. [WFO FBI 139-166, Hdqrs.. 139-4089-2312 - 6.18.73] Around this time Victor Lasky wrote, It Didn't Start with Watergate, a defense of RICHARD NIXON. In 1978 Lasky became a principal in Accuracy In Media, an ultraconservative media watchdog group whose directors included Claire Boothe Luce. Accuracy In Media sent a letter of protest to The National Enquirer when it published an article in April 1977 by this author on OSWALD'S 201 file. DAVID PHILLIPS, who retired from the CIA and headed the Association of Retired Intelligence Agents, was quoted extensively in this letter. Claire Boothe Luce was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Retired Intelligence Agents. In the mid-1980s, Lasky was close to CIA director William Casey. Lasky was associated with FRANK STURGIS through men like Nathan Weyl. Check the DATABASE! Victor Lasky died of cancer on February 22, 1990. He was 72. [FBI 64-44828. 8.18.64; Wash.

KENNETH STARR'S CONNECTION TO THE CIA SUBSIDIZED NAZIS: THE REGNERYS KEN STARR was a friend of the late Henry Regnery and is a friend of ALFRED REGNERY, Henry's son. ALFRED'S grandfather, William Regnery was a founder of the American Security Council. The American Security Council began in Chicago in 1955, staffed primarily by former FBI agents. In its first year it was called the Mid-American Research Library. Corporations joined to take advantage of what former FBI agent William Turner described in Power on the Right as "a dossier system modeled after the FBI's, which was intended to weed out employees and prospective employees deemed disloyal to the free enterprise concept." Before the founders of the American Security Council got into the business of collecting dossiers on Americans, however, they had another sort of political interest. Their political histories go back to the racialist and anti-Semitic groups in the 1930's that were working in concert with Hitler's war aims. Three groups in particular would later provide elements of the future American Security Council: the America First Committee, the American Vigilante Intelligence Federation, and the American Coalition of Patriotic Societies. THE AMERICA FIRST COMMITTEE The person most responsible for establishing the American Security Council was General Robert Wood, then Chairman of Sears Roebuck. Prior to Pearl Harbor, Wood was also the chairman of the America First Committee, an organization committed to opposing all efforts to aid Allies besieged by Nazi Germany. As national chairman, Wood made no effort to keep out openly pro-Nazi groups known to have been supported by Germany, such as the German American Bund. Radio priest Father Charles Coughlin's anti-Semitic and pro-Axis followers were also permitted by Wood to work within America First. A 1942 FBI report indicated that Wood's "patriotic" group had "been called upon to accept financial assistance from pro-Nazi sources." After Pearl Harbor and Germany's declaration of war on the United States, the America First Committee didn't go out of business as it officially declared on December 12, 1941. Five days later, a secret meeting of certain key leaders of America First took place in New York to plan for what they assumed (and hoped) would be the Axis victory in Europe and the Far East. "[T]he Committee has in reality gone underground," FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover reported to the White House. It began planning for the day when they would be the Americans with whom the victorious Nazis would negotiate a surrender. Finally, when the defeat of the Nazis by Allied powers was a foregone conclusion, the America First Committee secretly dissolved it self in 1944. WILLIAM REGNERY, an incorporator and early leader of the Committee with Robert Wood, helped Wood to found the ASC. His son, Henry Regnery, replaced him at their book publishing company and at the ASC. The younger Regnery told an interviewer several years ago that "I was very much opposed to our getting into the war; and I published this book, which was highly critical of Roosevelt and of the whole realm of American policies involving World War II. Very gladly, I must say." Regnery said that the book, published in the early 1950's, reflected his "Personal tastes." Henry Regnery was a blond-haired Midwesterner of German-Catholic extraction, the son of a wealthy textile manufacturer, who displayed at an early age far more interest in ideas than in making money. After receiving an engineering degree from MIT, he studied philosophy at the University of Bonn and economics at Harvard. Initially a liberal and a supporter of Roosevelt's New Deal, Regnery went to work for the Resettlement Administration and then the American Friends Service Committee. But his isolationism and pro-German sentiment made him oppose American entry into the European war; and his opposition to Roosevelt's foreign policy gradually led him to question the Democratic domestic policy as well. In 1945, Regnery met Frank Hanighen, an Omaha businessman, who with two other isolationists, Felix Morley and William Henry Chamberlin, had started a weekly broadsheet in Washington, Human Events. Regnery became a co-owner and the treasurer of the paper, but he was unwilling to leave the Midwest. In 1947, with his father's help, he founded Henry Regnery Company. The first two books he published were pro-German attacks on the Nuremberg Trials. The company's third book was In Darkest Germany (1947) which reported that bombing raids in Germany's industrial North had left civilians starving and homeless. Neither of these nor the subsequent books Regnery had published made money, and by the time Buckley sent God and Man at Yale to Regnery in April 1951 the firm was barely solvent. In 1954 Regnery published two of Birch Society leader Robert Welch's books. In the 1950's, Regnery Publishing was subsidized by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to Howard Hunt, as was Fredrick Praeger Publishing and Fodor's travel guides. Henry Regnery funded Western goals, and organization headed by Dan Smoot. In 1955 Smoot left H.L. Hunt's operation and established the Dan Smoot Report along with Jew hater Gerald L.K. Smith. President Reagan appointed ALFRED REGNERY to help dismantle the the Justice Department's Office of Juvenile Justice. In 1986 Regnery approved a $186,000 grant to the Center For Judicial Studies, a conservative think tank with links to Jerry Falwell. In 1986 Alfred S. Regnery approved a grant for a book in which he would receive $1,000 to write a chapter. In 1988, when ALFRED REGNERY published Red Horizons, by Lt. Gen. Ion Mikhai Pacepa, the former head of the Romanian Foreign Intelligence Service, the DIE, who defected to the United States in 1979, Regnery received death threats from the PLO. Radio Free Europe broadcast excerpts from this book. In December of 1993 Regnery was acquired by Tom Phillips, publisher of Human Events. When I subscribed to Human Events, I was struck by the fact that the publication went out of its way to identify political figures who were Jewish or half-Jewish, for example, John Schlesinger. Regnery published these titles: A Familiar Exposition of the Constitution of the United States by Edwin Meese. Jacob Stein, who is now representing Monica Lewinsky, is the former independent counsel who investigated and cleared one-time Attorney General Ed Meese. Inquisition : The Persecution and Prosecution of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon by Carlton Sherwood. Reverend Moon has been linked to Korean Intelligence which is tied in with the CIA. Man And God At Yale, by William Buckley and McCarthy and His Enemies by William F. Buckley, L. Brent Bozell. William Buckley was a CIA agent who worked in Mexico under E. Howard Hunt. The FBI'S Man in the Kremlin by John Barron. The CIA admitted funding Barron's book, KGB, published by Readers Digest Press. Unlimited Access : An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House by Gary Aldrich. LUCIANNE GOLDBERG was the literary agent for this favorite of the Clinton bashers. Values Matter Most : How Democrats or Republicans or a Third Party Can Win and Renew the American Way of Life by Ben J. Wattenberg. Lucianne and Sid's 28-year-old son Jonah GOLDBERG is employed by Ben Wattenberg, a think-tank activist who was intimately involved with CIA-linked contra support activities during the 1980s. Wattenberg was also vice-chairman of the Board for International Broadcasting, which was created by Congress in 1973 in an attempt to remove Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty from the taint of direct CIA control. His son Daniel Wattenberg, a conservative writer who has helped expose the Clintons, was a special assistant to convicted Iran-contra figure Elliott Abrams. The Secret War Against Hitler by William Casey. Casey was Director of the Central Intelligence Agency under Ronald Reagan. Other authors from Regnery have been identified as either having been in contact with Nazis, such as Lynn Nofziger, or of having a similar political philosophy as the Nazis, such Patrick J. Buchanan, while others have been Jews who collaborated with the Nazis such as Alfred M. Lilienthal,"What Price Israel" (1953). Regnery also published the work of fascist Ezra Pound. He has also published Alexander Lebed. When LINDA TRIPP secretly taped conversations in which her young friend Monica Lewinsky claimed to have had an affair with the president, she tried to sell a book about the Clinton White House for as much as $500,000, to Regenery Press. The book was offered to Regnery in mid-1996 by New York agent LUCIANNE GOLDBERG. Click HERE for references on the Regnerys. KENNETH STARR'S CONNECTION TO RICHARD SCAIFE RICHARD SCAIFE, 63, of Shadyside, Pennsylvania, is the great grandson of the founder of Gulf Oil, Richard Beatty Mellon. SCAIFE won't use middle name because he feels Mellon clan mistreated his parents and is long estranged from reclusive, liberal sister Cordelia SCAIFE May. SCAIFE is worth $870 million. During World War II, while Richard and Cordelia's father, Alan SCAIFE, served in Europe in the OSS, the forerunner to the CIA, the SCAIFE family lived in Washington. SCAIFE is a former alcoholic who was expelled from Yale after a drunken party. He ended up at the University of Pittsburgh, where is father was Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He shuns publicity. Richard Mellon SCAIFE is, in effect, Kenneth Starr'S future boss in private life. Starr was given the position of first Dean of the School of Public Policy of Pepperdine University. This position was created with the help of a of a 1.1 million dollar gift from "life regent" Richard SCAIFE. SCAIFE gave Pepperdine 10 million dollars over the years. Starr had to postpone filling this seat, then had to decline it, but he knows the Gulf Oil Money is out there waiting for him. A Clinton White House report stated that SCAIFE was the force behind the circulation of the story that Clinton White House aide Vincent Foster was murdered. SCAIFE CHRONOLOGY 1964 SCAIFE family makes $750,000 grant to Hoover Institute For War Peace and Revolution. Over the past 25 years the SCAIFEs have donated about $20 million to the Hoover Institution. On the Board of Directors of CIA proprietary Radio Free Europe. 1965 SCAIFE inherited over $200 million from Mellon mother 1965. 1972 Reportedly gave $1 million to Nixon reelection campaign. 1973 Richard Mellon SCAIFE, was entangled with a major CIA propaganda effort based in London during the 1970s. It began as Forum World Features in the 1960s, which then spun off the Institute for the Study of Conflict in 1970. Both were funded jointly by SCAIFE and the CIA. One of the largest CIA media/propaganda operations was Forum World Features (FWF). Forum World Features was originally known as the Information Bulletin, Ltd. and received its CIA direction and funding through the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF). Princeton Professor Morroe Berger, former president of the Middle East Studies Association was a consultant for the Congress for Cultural Freedom (1958-61) while it was a CIA operation. At the same time, the Congress for Cultural Freedom was underwriting the Lebanese journal, "Al-Hiwar". As mentioned above, Walter Z. Lacquer was the Bulletin's principal director, and Meir Mindlin was its editor. By 1960, Information Bulletin, Ltd. became Forum Service and re-incorporated itself in Delaware with Melvin Lansky as editorial director. Lansky was a director of Congress for Cultural Freedom; co-editor of its magazine "Encounter"; and a "witting" CIA collaborator. By 1965, Congress for Cultural Freedom was headed by CIA officer, Michael Josselson who at the time was directing CIA contract employee, Brian Crozier to reconstruct Forum Service. In December, 1965, CIA officer Robert G. Gately replaced Mindlin, and in January, 1966, Forum Services became Forum World Features. Crozier became director-general; John Tousa, former BBC radio producer became editor; and Tarzie Vittachi -- now a senior UN official -- Asian director. In mid-1966, Forum World Features was bought by John Hay Whitney, then publisher of the New York Herald-Tribune and part owner of the International Herald-Tribune. Whitney was yet another CIA collaborator. Forum World Features was now a commercial enterprise which had cut its ties with Congress for Cultural Freedom. On January 31, 1975, Richard Mellon SCAIFE bought Forum World Features. The Nation Magazine reported: "One of SCAIFE's earliest mentors was the late Frank Barnett, head of an organization called the National Strategy Information Center, a major SCAIFE beneficiary for many years. In 1962 Richard Barnett had been recruited to lead the National Strategy Information Center by William Casey, later Director of Central Intelligence. In its heyday, the National Strategy Information Center was regarded as a shadowy group with close connections to the intelligence community; Barnett was a sort of freewheeling broker who put ideas and money people together. One such case involved a C.I.A.-sponsored organization in Europe called Forum World Features, run for a time by British freelance journalist and intelligence operative Brian Crozier. A bit more than a year ago, Crozier confirmed in an interview what others with less direct knowledge had said for many years: that "the C.I.A. personally requested Mr. SCAIFE" to take over as owner of Forum, which he ran from 1973 until 1975, when it was closed down shortly before TIME OUT, a London weekly, published an article on the C.I.A. connection which contained a 1968 CIA memorandum, addressed to then director Richard Helms, which described Forum as a CIA sponsored operation providing a significant means to counter communist propaganda. Crozier also referred to an account in his memoir Free Agent (1993), in which he said that although the C.I.A. in the early seventies declined to fund his proposed new cold war think tank, the Institute for the Study of Conflict, it arranged (through Barnett) for him to make an ultimately successful pitch to Richard SCAIFE instead." The Institute for the Study of Conflict was set up to study urban terrorism, guerrilla warfare and related subjects. Its Council members include numerous people with intelligence connections, some more official than others. Vice-Admiral Louis Le Bailly was Director-General of Intelligence at the Ministry of Defence, 1972-5. Richard Clutterbuck, lecturer in politics and a former Major-General, is regarded as one of those principally responsible for the British Army's counter insurgency tactics in Northern Ireland. Sir Robert Thompson was once one of President Nixon's favorite advisers and the author of the "strategic hamlets" concept of counter-insurgency war which he implemented in Malaya on behalf of the British Army. Another Council member is Sir Edward Peck, once head of the Secret Intelligence Service (British intelligence) clandestine operations in Berlin. Around this time the SCAIFE Group gave money to many of the same programs supported by the Smith Richardson Foundation. The Nation Magazine reported that the Smith Richardson Foundation has a special relationship with the CIA. The CIA and Army sent its staff to the first training program offered by the center. In 1978 35 CIA agents took part in the center's activities. The Smith Richardson Foundation is often referred to as one of the "four sisters" of conservative foundations for its tendency to fund in concert with the Olin, Sarah SCAIFE and Bradley foundations. Like the other three, it grants hundreds of thousands of dollars to academic groups such as the Madison Center for Educational Affairs and the National Association of Scholars, and such conservative think tanks as the American Enterprise Institute, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Hoover Institution, Manhattan Institute, the Reason Foundation and the Hudson Institute. 1978 An academic organization secretly subsidized by the South African govemment - as confirmed by Rhoodie and another South African official - was the London-based Foreign Affairs Research Institute (FARI). One of the main activities of FARI was coordinating attacks among conservatives against the World Council of Churches which South Africa considered to be one of its most effective adversaries on the international political scene. Geoffrey Stewart Smith, head of FARI, published a book in 1979 entitled "The Fraudulent Gospel," which attacked the World Council of Churches. Unknown to the public was the fact that publication of the book was secretly subsidized by the South African government. In June 1978, FARI co-sponsored a conference in Brighton, England with the CIA-connected Institute for the Study of Conflict. Among those who attended was Richard Mellon SCAIFE. Also attending the conference was William Casey, who would later be appointed head of the CIA by Ronald Reagan. The Fletcher Program at Tufts has taken money from the two foundations most active in recent years in publicly promoting the need for a strong CIA. One of them, the SCAIFE Foundation (together with the closely linked SCAIFE Family Charitable Trusts and Allegheny Foundation) has provided the largest part of Fletcher's foundation backing since 1977, donating over $1.5 million. The other, the Smith Richardson Foundation, contributed over $100,000 from 1979 to 1981 for two projects it describes as a "project on [the] history of Vietnamese communism" and the "completion of (a] study of communist propaganda and political warfare." Since 1978, these two foundations have also provided most of the private funding to Pfaltzgraff's Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis, SCAIFE alone donating over $500,000. The promotional efforts of the CIA by these foundations, consisting so far of at least eleven separate projects together costing over $500,000, appear to have begun on October 30, 1978, when SCAIFE president Richard Larry phoned Ernest Lefever (an IFPA "research consultant") to ask if his Ethics and Public Policy Center at Georgetown University would supervise a study of media treatment of the CIA and the KGB. Six months later, SCAIFE sponsored a conference of Fletcher's International Security Studies Program entitled: "Intelligence: Deception and Surprise." in attendence was an assortment of British scholars and former British spies, including Reginald Jones, Director of British Scientific Intelligence during World War II; former CIA officer Thomas Latimer, staff director of the House Intelligence Committee; former CIA Director William Colby; former Czech intelligence officer Ladislav Bittman (contributing the obligatory exposition on KGB "active measures"), Richard Perle, soon to be Assistant Secretary of Defense; and Harvard's Richard Pipes, a CIA consultant who soon afterwards joined the NSC. 1981 In 1981 the John M. Olin Foundation joined with the Sarah SCAIFE Foundation and the Smith Richardson Foundation to establish New Criterion a neocon magazine. In 1981 the Institute For Religion and Democracy was established with funding from Smith Richardson and SCAIFE Foundations. The IRD was formed to counter the activities of groups such as the National Council of Churches. In 1981 the Heritage Foundation was funding Brian Crozier's International Freedom Fund. 1982-1983 Board of directors of HERITAGE FOUNDATION. Former USIA head Frank Shakespeare is on the Board of Directors of Heritage. Other directors include Paul Weyrich, long time associate of the John Birch Society. Paul Weyrich left Heritage in 1974 to form Free Congress Foundation with convicted Nazi war criminal Lazlo Pasztor. Roger Pearson was on the editorial board of the Heritage Foundation until he was fired for organizing an anti-Semitic conference at at meeting of the World Anti-Communist League. Pearson is best known today for publishing MANKIND QUARTERLY a eugenic journal that promotes the idea that White are innately superior to blacks and Asians. The NAZIS link to this website. In 1985, Ellen Gardner, Heritage Education Expert, worked briefly at the Department of Education under William Bennett after she said that handicapped people drained normal people of money and were responsible for their own disabilities. It should be noted that aside from killings, Jews, Gays and Gypsies, the Nazi exterminated physically and mentally handicapped people. Sam Francis Heritage's former expert on International Terrorism saw his column terminated by the Washington Times for racism. Heritage has interlocking direcorates with the Capitol Research Center which monitors the donations of mainstream foundations. Capitol Research is anti-enviormentalist and keeps really upset when foundations donate money teen anti-smoking campaigns. 1982 Partner with John McGoff in South Africa financed attempt to buy the American newspaper Sacramento Union to give South African government a voice in the United States. After SCAIFE bought the paper editor James Whelan resigned to become the new editor of the Moonie financed Washington Times. Whelan worked for ITT around the time of the overthrow of the Allende government in Chile and was connected with the Bay of Pigs invasion. I believe he wrote a book about the Garrison investigation of the Kennedy assassination. SCAIFE, Grace and Smith Richardson Foundations come through with money for 1982 Salvadorian election. 1985 When problems arose at the USIA in 1985, SCAIFE was part of a board that reviewed the matter. SCAIFE involvement in Iran/Contra The Committee of Foreign Affairs of the United States House of representatives reported: "Godson turned for assistance to Clyde Slease of Pittsburgh, counsel to Richard Mellon SCAIFE and several Mellon family foundations. At the request of Slease, Godson arranged for a meeting with Oliver North and Robert McFarlane in the Situation Room of the White House. Slease agreed to try to raise $400,000 for North's project. Slease then persuaded an acquaintance in Pittsburgh, John Donahue, to donate $100,000, and they settled on designating the Heritage Foundation as the recipient of the donation. A September 12, 1985 letter from Richard Miller to Edwin Fuelner, Director of the Heritage Foundation, indicates that Donahue's $100,000 grant to the Heritage Foundation was then awarded to INSI in the form of a grant for, according to Miller's letter, "the purpose of disseminating in Central America materials designed to educate the public-on U.S. policy objectives." No such materials, however, were ever produced by INSI. Instead, Miller instructed INSI, after Heritage awarded it the $100,000, to transfer $80,000 of the grant to his Cayman Islands account fran which funds were withdrawn as directed by North. INSI retained a twenty percent administrative fee for its distribution of the grant, which, according to Miller, was the standard fee North had recommended him to take. Donahue was never informed that INSI would be the recipient of his grant nor that the money would eventually find its way into Miller's Cayman Island account or North's Lake Resources account.
