The JFK assassination is a central pivot point for many important historical events both before and since. After spending 6 months living in Dallas, no matter where I turn, I see connections! So I just tried to compress several converging things together this weekend. I went to the CIA-DRUGS SYMPOSIUM in Eugene this weekend as well as work. I did not go with a friend to Vancouver BC Canada, to the their Electric Vehicle Show, as originally planned. The CIA-Drugs Symposium, was to say the least, terrifying. I knew from the speaker list that this wasn't some Militant Antigovernment, Pro-Drug Legalization, Ex-Hippie, Communist gathering. There were certainly all of these elements present in the audience, but it wasn't like the 60's, there were intelligent, business types mixed in the crowd. (I haven't been to Eugene Downtown since 1984, and before that since the 1970s.) As you already know, there are ground swells of disenfranchised people who don't see a difference between Al Gore Jr, nor George W. Bush. Many are voting in the various Green Parties or for Ralph Nader. What I saw yesterday was a broad cross section of people from various economic and political areas coming together, in frustration. Now this conference was coincidental in many ways, as I had just nearly finished Terry Reed's 1995 book, "Compromised, Clinton, Bush and the CIA" [by Terry Reed and John Cummings, ISBN 1-883955-02-5] It was a huge undertaking, it is a big book, hundreds (681) of pages. Essentially, Terry Reed was a CIA operative, who worked in Mena, Arkansas. He grew up in a family of Southern Democrats with all of the patriotism in Missouri, went to Vietnam, served in Air Force Intelligence and returned home for the machine tool business. He learned to fly and expanded his machine tool operations. He was approached by the FBI for covert assignments integrated into his regular business schedule. The big one was spying on Toshiba, for selling advanced NC machine tools to the Russians, enabling them to make more silent Submarine propellers. Anyway, he ends up approached by the CIA full time as a Contractor during the early 1980s, to start business "cutouts," with a guy who later ends up being Oliver North. His machine tool operation, sales skills are put to use in manufacturing guns for the Contras from various illegal points in Arkansas. Meanwhile he's flying and training Contras at the secret base north of Mena at night. He meets Barry Seal. They establish a friendship that lasts until Barry is gunned down several years later. They have many friendships talks while flying and ferrying. Reed is shown how to fly covert, how to make air drops of guns and cash. He is told to make a few drops for Barry. He later finds out it's cocaine. He's upset. As this goes against his value system, he believed in helping the Contras with military aid, but not cocaine coming back into the US. He tries to justify this as a single isolated event. However during that time he is called upon to make huge cash air drops. He develops a deeper friendship with Barry Seal. They take a memorable LearJet ride to Panama to discuss a Mexico plan there. During the flights, Barry reveals that he is under a lot of legal problems and pressures from his DEA ties. He might have to go to jail. He worked as a contractor for several, often conflicting agencies, DEA, CIA, etc. He's gained weight by that time and seems tense. Terry asks questions. Barry reveals that he has an ace, a video showing the "Bush boys", Bush's sons, in a compromising situation. Arkansas politics becomes so corrupt that the operation is becoming compromised. Clinton's men try to muscle the CIA for more "business". The try to get contracts for their friends and associates. There's hundreds of millions of dollars floating around. Yet the State of Arkansas is still a couple hundred million in debt. Terry is then forced to spread out the weapons making to inferior Arkansas companies that the CIA did not intend. Bill Clinton even shows up at some of the meetings, including one meeting hidden inside a bunker surrounded by Military police where then CIA Director Bill Casey's lieutenant shows up to discuss a major change in operations. Governor Bill Clinton had heard about it and wanted to discourage a change that would move the whole operation to Mexico (because of the unreliable corruption of Arkansas) After an angry tirade from Clinton about "unfairness," Casey's lieutenant replies regarding specific financial losses and puts Clinton in his place, ending saying "You want your dream to come true don't you?". Clinton quivers and leaves the room. (Clinton's later presidency was apparently an "Agency" Deal in exchange for "renting" his state for Iran-Contra) Terry masterminded the incorporation and cutout companies in Mexico and had sent these thru to his handlers. They had approved and moved operations into Mexico. He was to run the front end of the Cutout as a legitimate Machine Tool Sales, Operation and Service outfit. They partnered with some Hungarian (and KGB) interests as well as Japanese and later Israelis. These were people Terry knew from his former business contacts. The CIA loved this, one stop shopping. They could run guns thru the warehouse back doors, and keep track of their opposition at the same time. He is told that his operations head was Felix Rodriquez, a very scary Cuban exile that he meets semi-regularly. Felix was said to have been involved in the execution of Che Guevarra in Bolivia. They held off until the last minute and had to ramp up the operation seemingly overnight. The strain and long hours were exhausting. Realize that Terry had a wife and 3 kids also living in Mexico with him. They use the CIA's airline Southern Air Transport to deliver shipments to a hanger at the airport, because the roads in Mexico were too bad for shipping high-tech sensitive machine tools. While this is going on Terry's associates are complaining about mysterious shipping headed north. His Hungarian business associate is especially unnerved, as the documents used for the shipments are based upon their business. Terry is very busy, but must interrupt to take an emergency from one of them. They pull him into a warehouse where they had intercepted one of the mysterious shipments. They were angry. He goes and opens up the container 8x8x10 feet. In it is crammed full of bags of "white" powder. He is livid and storms out. These containers were shipped north thru Texas. His KGB man is concerned. Terry approaches his handler. His handler denies it. But Terry did some tricks to make sure he wasn't being hoodwinked by the KGB into thinking that the CIA was shipping cocaine. His tests for this by "dyeing the waters" but the results turns up positive. His handlers are therefore liars. His partners, Japanese and Hungarian decide to pull out of the operation, because they are also being hit with extremely high Mexican currency devaluations. Terry then decides that it's not worth it. He had reached his moral value system limits. The shipping of Cocaine to the United States was evil. So he begins to break ties with the Agency. They threaten him. He meets a Mossad agent that is also concerned about the Cocaine going into the US and threatened (the agent is later killed). That agent confirms that Felix meets directly with George Herbert Walker Bush on a near weekly basis (the book has photos of Felix with Bush) and that it is Felix who is having the cocaine shipped back to the US. using Terry's Cutout companies as agents. Terry leaves Mexico immediately, realizing that there is a price on his head and that he may not be allowed to live. He then moves around the US to different towns (with his family) every few days for over a few years. He switches license plates, changes his identity, etc. etc. Contact with family members indicates that the FBI is after him. They had a warrant out for his arrest. On false charges etc. A long exhausting court case ensues and one by one the government's false charges are dismissed with evidence. But then I went to this conference this weekend! Remember In August 1996, San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" series documented how the CIA helped Nicaragua's contras sell crack cocaine in South Central Los Angeles? http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v98.n527.a01.html http://www.logicsouth.com/~lcoble/conspire/ciaspon.txt http://speech.csun.edu/ben/news/cia/index.html That is what this is all about! Back to the story: Turns out that Barry Seal was part of the SAME 1950's Civil Air Patrol Louisiana unit as Lee Harvey Oswald! It turns out that Barry Seal and Lee Harvey Oswald had the same Civil Air Patrol leader, David Ferrie, of New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison fame! He hung out with fellow conspirators Guy Bannister and Clay Shaw of New Orleans. (See Oliver Stone's movie, JFK, for more details) Ferrie was with the OSS in 1943 and became an airline pilot for Eastern. Ferrie was questioned about the JFK assassination a few days afterwords and later committed suicide. He was an organizer for the failed Bay of Pigs and afterwords, like the rest of the CIA, openly blamed JFK for not providing air support. Turns out that Barry Seal became a pilot at age 15. His instructor said that he was a born gifted flyer, very rare abilities, and that 'his first cousin was a bird!' He was reputed to have flown missions to Cuba for the Bay of Pigs using a P-51 Mustang. He was also running guns to Cuba then too. Turns out that Redbird Airport outside Dallas had a mysterious flight about an hour after the assassination. Rumors in the spook world are that Barry Seal flew the assassination getaway plane! Sources say Barry, near the end of his life, also had the video of the Bush boys delivering cocaine from an executive airport north of Miami. http://www.federal.com/aug18-97/CIA Is this the Clinton/Gore jr, October surprise? Theres more, it's even more dirty. At the confererence, I heard from former central American DEA agent Celerino Castillo III., a Vietnam veteran. I heard about his interdiction efforts in central America and how he left the DEA. He risked his life with teams in the mountains of Guatemala, where agents were killed. He was nearly in tears as he had to come to grips with the fact that the Government is deliberately sending Cocaine into the United States and covering it up. When George H.W. Bush visited Guatemala, Celerino personally confronted him and received no answers as Bush merely turned away. He witnessed individuals in Guatemala eho were tortured while they were alive, limbs cut off, beatings, etc. to keep them silent. He told us that he expects to only live another year as he is certain that someone will kill him as he reveals more information. He told the story of Michael? Divine, an American living in Guatemala, who loved the beauty of the country. He made a mistake of seeing drugs moved and told his US embassy, where upon then he disappeared. His body was found. His wife is still alive but terrified. He says he now sleeps well at night, he's low on money, his income is now limited, though he is sometimes tormented with memories, he can now look at his little daughter straight in the eye. He would rather sleep well at night knowing that he is a dead man, than to continue to support a corrupt nightmare system. We are really in trouble as a nation. We need prayers. Theres more. There were others there who spoke and with similar problems. This was a rare event. Speakers were: Mike Ruppert, former law enforcement officer and publisher of From the Wilderness www.copvcia.com Former, LAPD Narcotics officer. Cele Castillo, 12-year veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration www.copvcia.com/contra l.htm He may not live another year with the damaging direct in-the-field information he knows. Catheriine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Secretary for HUD www.solari.com/ She was fired, she's broke and under siege from federal lawsuits about her discoveries at HUD. She's also a former Wall Street employee of Dillon Reed. She learned that Ghettos are created. She found a way to save HUD 4 billion dollars and revitalize inner cities. She was then fired and now HUD is back to losing 4 Billion dollars per year again. Destroying inner cities is good for business! Daniel Hopsicker, business television filmmaker www.madcowprod.com - He's the one who produced a Barry Seal Documentary Video/Film biography connecting Barry Seal to the JFK assassination. He met with Barry Seal's widowed wife, who then provided some heretofore unseen photos. One shows Barry with a group of men in Mexico City at happy hour. He was told that some of these men were of the professional offshore CIA assassins that were assigned to do JFK. As of last October, George W. Bush's private Turboprop Beechcraft King Air 200 had the tail number N6308F, "Zero-Eight-Foxtrot", which means that it is the same plane used by Barry Seal while he was alive for some of his drug "runs". The ownership trail traces through to the same entities that owned the CIA's Southern Air Transport. The last speaker was Dr. Peter Dale Scott, who though elderly, may have been the first in America to publish books, some banned, that made the connection between drugs and covert operations and the CIA. His first book on the drugs from Vietnam was published in 1970 and surpressed. He was very grateful to finally, after all these years see other people who had experienced proof when he spent many years alone doing meticulous research and documentation and was ridiculed in his ideas. He was presently teaching English at UC Berkeley, however his PhD is in political science. Many feel that Vietnam was also about Drugs. The French controlled the drugs and then lost out to the Americans in the 50s. The Air America transports flying out of these areas covertly shipped drugs to the US. Some at the conference were saying that they talked with veterans who told of "friendly fire" incidents against these Air America flights. Apparently some of the soldiers found out what the flights were really about and were so angered that they secretly shot some of them down when they saw them fly over. This Narco-Politics stuff is big. I would put it up there with Nuclear Proliferation and the next Nuclear war. Clinton has insured, thru the international sales of enabling technologies, that our futures will have a greater probability of some type of nuclear exchange. This will bring about mass death and destruction and total ecological disaster in the areas effected by the blast and nuclear fallout, obviously totally undermining his environmental agenda. This Narco-Politics stuff goes straight to Citicorp, 1st Boston, Deutsche Bank and other International banks that need debt repayments from South America. Their debt repayment schedules are based on including exportation of illicit drugs. The CIAs role is to protect the bank's investments and act as a covert conduit to the streets of America. What was interesting about Arkansas and the Narco dollar money laundering there during Iran Contra, is that their economy was infused with hundreds of millions of dollars, however Clinton's State budget was STILL a couple hundred million in debt. There was so much corruption, graft and nepotism, that even with the dramatic increase in revenues they still ran a huge debt. The same is true with many third world nations, they get an infusion of cash from Narco dollars, yet instead of repaying their debts, the corruption, nepotism and greed are so widespread that they do not repay their debts and end up worse than before! We have had to reschedule Mexico's debts recently. If the banks aren't repaid their debts, OUR economy could collapse because of their insolvency. The extra narco-dollars fuel our economy and it's speculative bubble of zero profit internet stocks and E-commerce. Meanwhile, in our inner cities, a whole people are being exterminated and encarcerated in new prison complexes for dealing in Cocaine, crack and other illicit drugs. Hospitals and the healthcare system must take in brain damaged crack babies, etc. Depressed real estate prices caused by gang shooting inner city are then capitalized upon by speculators and real estate opportunists thru predatory lending practices and absentee ownership until the gangs are cleared out and real estate prices rise. Abandonned buildings have tax breaks. Cele Castillo said that one of the main Colombian Drug Kingpins was put in prison, but now has been put to use for Cocaine sales into Russia, another ripe market! The panelists felt that the next war will be faught in the Colombia, Venezuela, Equador, Peru arena. The four states with the highest drug importation/money laundering problems are, New York, Texas, Florida and California. It was said that this is one of the real reasons why Hillary Clinton is going after New York. Clinton's new Ambassodor to the Dominican Republic is Charles Manatt. The Dominican Republic is the major transhipment point from Colombia to the US. The drugs are then sent to Puerto Rico then to places like Florida or New York. The Dominican Republic is a destitute and poor nation. Traditionally the Ambassadors were staffers, because the assignment was undesirable. But for some reason Clinton's guys 'wanted' this assignment. There was some discussion that two of the highest drug traffic states, Texas and Florida were coincidently governed by the Bush boys. For Bush involvement, the choices that we have for President are a sham. Gore Jr.'s family investments in Occidental are in the Colombia area and obviously he would do the same things. I want to thank Kris Millegan for making the conference possible. Best Regards, Marshall Houston Portland, Oregon
