For Immediate Release, August 11, 2000 Noon, PDT The Truth Force Amnesty Commission (TFAC) announces explosive presentations by former LAPD and DEA officers, and an attorney suing CIA and DoJ over their acknowledged complicity in the crack cocaine epidemic, on Aug12 & 15 at LA Peoples and Shadow Conventions --- detailing evidence of a 50 year still ongoing CIA-FBI-DEA-mafia-business-politicians "cabal" involved in smuggling 80-90% of the illegal drugs now coming into the US providing $200-250 billion per year in laundered profits fueling Wall Street with low-cost offshore capital and major political campaigns to the highest levels of the Democratic andRepublican Parties' fundraising for politicians who maintain draconian American drug policy laws to preserve these profits with the complicity of duped American media some of which are owned by Wall Street companies profiting from this situation. The TFAC maintains that the only way to solve this problem, and to end the failed and corrupt drug war, is to follow the precedent of South Africa by establishing a truth commission and amnesty program to facilitate the correction of the ethics of America and allow those responsible for creating this problem to use their power and influence to correct this situation which is at the root of so many wars around the world and the exploding US prison populations, police brutalities, etc. Starting at 11AM tomorrow Saturday August 12th, at the LA Peoples Convention http://www.peoplesconvention.com former LAPD officer, now editor of >From The Wilderness newletter and expert on CIA involvement in the drug trade, Michael C. Ruppert will conduct a session detailing evidence for above assertions. At 4PM he will be taking part there in the 4pm panel on Police Brutality and the Prison-Industrial Complex. At 6PM he will be among other speakers on the "Crack the CIA" panel, all taking place at Belmont High School auditorium at 144 South Loma Drive. Mike will be tabling there all day and available for media interviews. He will be joined in the early afternoon by a former DEA agent knowledgeable about DEA-CIA complicity in the South American to US cocaine trade, Cele Castillo, and by Bill Simpich, one of the attorneys on the class action lawsuit against CIA and DoJ over their complicity in the crack cocaine epidemic acknowledge in the DoJ CIA Inspector General's Report Volume II recently whitewashed by the House Select Intelligence Committee summary of it. This lawsuit on behalf of South Central Los Angeles and Oakland, CA, residents victimized by the crack cocaine epidemic has receive a unanimous resolution of support from Oakland Mayor (former CA Governor and Democratic US presidential nominee) Jerry Brown's City Council. At the Shadow Convention during its Tuesday August 15th program to end the failed drug war, Simpich and Castillo will be tabling and available for media and activist interviews. http://www.shadowconventions.com Simpich is avalable at 510-444-0226 to set up other speaking events. He is one of the attorneys on the CIA Class Action suit and the tort claims against the CIA and DOJ that are currently pending for their role in the crack cocaine epidemic, and he is working with Cele Castillo. Cele Castillo's new evidentiary critique of the Vol. II whitewash is now up at http://www.drugwar.com/castillo%20to%20hsci.htm and a photo of Cele Castillo in Vietnam 1971 (from where heroin was smuggled into the US during the war by same "cabal") is at http://www.drugwar.com/castillo.htm Castillo and Ruppert, along with UC Berkeley English professor Peter Dale Scott and other experts on this issue spoke at the first CIA-Drugs Symposium in Eugene, Oregon, which be coming next to Los Angeles. http://www.ctrl.org Some of this information is recently coming into the press, for example the July 27th report of a stunning interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes," Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, accused former Federal Bureau of Investigation division chief Stanley Peterson of being on the payroll of the mafia. Also on July 27th, the "San Francisco Examiner reported that the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has found valid evidence that claims of CIA involvement in protecting drug trafficking to support the Contras were credible. The court also ruled that assertions of CIA authorization for drug trafficking in the San Francisco bay area were grounded in fact, apparently based on its review of evidence including DoJ CIA IG report volume II. The plaintiff, "Pena and his allies supporting the contras became involved in selling cocaine in order to circumvent the congressional ban on non-humanitarian aid to the contras," the three-judge panel said. San Francisco attorney Bill Simpich, acting as lead counsel for class action suits filed against the CIA in 1999 based on the same issues and evidence said, "This is the best break we've had since we filed our suits. This opens an important new vein of evidence with one of the highest courts in the land, saying, in effect, that this issue needs to be addressed." Most recently, the Philadelphia City Paper ran two consecutive weekly cover stories about CIA-FBI-DEA-White House complicity in covering up illegal drug trade there, stories relating to why one honest cop was fired for trying to expose drug money connections to Democratic Party fundraising, stories questioning the integrity and possible complicity of the Philly DA and PA Attorney General's office. Links to these stories along with commentary on their possible connection to the Ira Einhorn case are in a post archived at http://www.egroups.com/message/cia-drugs/12851 In this link between the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and the crack cocaine supplied to the black / Latino barrios throughout the United States, there is one man who is willing to disclose information about how those drugs were flown out of Ilopango Airport in El Salvador and into the United States with CIA and White House approval. Celerino "Cele" Castillo III, was a twelve year veteran of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). Castillo was the lead agent in El Salvador when he was assigned to Central America from 1985 to 1990. http://www.ctrl.org/ciadrugssymposium/speakers/castillio/index.html Ruppert is an Honors graduate of UCLA in Political Science. He comes from a family rooted in intelligence and the military. As an undergraduate he interned for LA Police Chief Ed Davis and worked at 5 LAPD Divisions before graduating and becoming an officer in 1973. During Mike's five plus years of active service he received thirteen citations and four commendations. Twice the CIA attempted to recruit Mike: The first time just before he graduated and again after he was a highly praised field officer and budding narcotics investigator. In 1977 he discovered CIA bringing drugs into the U.S. through New Orleans in an operation supervised by his then fiancée, a CIA agent. He began to speak out and was forced out of LAPD in 1978 after being shot at and threatened. He has been speaking out publicly ever since. http://www.copvcia.com http://www.suppressedwriters.com Peter Dale Scott, English Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, was an anti-war speaker during the Vietnam and U.S.-Iraq wars, he was a co-founder of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at UC Berkeley, and of the Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA). His prose books include The War Conspiracy (1972), The Assassinations: Dallas and Beyond (in collaboration, 1976), Crime and Cover-Up: The CIA, the Mafia, and the Dallas-Watergate Connection (1977), The Iran-Contra Connection (in collaboration, 1987), Cocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies, and the CIA in Central America (in collaboration, 1991, 1998), Deep Politics and the Death of JFK (1993, 1996), and Deep Politics Two (from JFKLancer, 1995). http://www.ctrl.org/ciadrugssymposium/speakers/scott/index.html Aside from the possibility that Ira Einhorn was framed for the 1979 murder of Holly Maddux -- as he has continuously claimed since then -- to discredit his attempts to expose covert actions such as those described above, another claim as to what happens when those in-the-know try to speak out is shown in the matter of Charles A. Schlund, an Electrical contractor in Phoenix, Arizona, age 52, whose complaint to Janet Reno begins: "While I was working with the FBI in a National Security Investigation involving murder, drug running and many other crimes in and against the United States by the CIA and DEA the DEA did obtain a court order under perjury and fabricated evidence to inject two CIA designed torture and monitoring devices in my neck."
