HOUSE BILL PROPOSES LIFTING BAN ON ASSASSINATIONS
BUSH ADMINISTRATION WASTING NO TIME IN MOVING TOWARD WAR FOOTING
Armitage The Executioner
FTW 1/24/01 - HR 19, Introduced by Republican Georgia Congressman Bob
Barr
on January 3, 2001, the first day of the new 107th Congress, would
legislatively repeal sections of three Executive Orders specifically
prohibiting assassinations by the United States Government.
Entitled the "Terrorist Elimination Act of 2001", the bill, submitted to
the House International Relations Committee, would specifically nullify
sections of three previous Executive Orders including one initiated by
Ronald Reagan in 1981. It is interesting to note that acts of Congress
are not required to nullify previous Executive Orders (EOs) which are,
by definition, orders issued by the President and Commander in Chief to
all federal employees (including military) under his authority. All
that is necessary to reverse one EO is another EO. This is exactly what
President George W. Bush did with respect to EOs issued by President
Clinton on the environment in the last days of his administration.
Section 3 of HR 19 specifically states:
"The following provisions of Executive orders shall have no further
force or effect:
(1) Section 5(g) of Executive Order 11905.
(2) Section 2-305 of Executive Order 12306.
(3) Section 2.11 of Executive Order 12333." [By Ronald Reagan]
Section 5 (g) of Executive Order 11905, signed by Gerald Ford on 2/18/76
specifically prohibited "political" assassination. Section 2-305 of
Executive Order 12036, signed 1/24/78 by Jimmy Carter renewed the ban.
Section 2.11 of Executive Order 12333, signed by Ronald Reagan on
12/4/81
renewed the ban on assassinations, or conspiracy to commit
assassinations,
as part of a broader package which gave virtually complete control of
the
American National Security apparatus to then Vice President George H.W.
Bush.
The full text of HR 19 may be viewed at http://thomas.loc.gov. Enter
a search in the 107th Congress for 19 and it will take you straight
to the bill.
The bold move, unreported and ignored by any major media, offers a
chance for an early referendum on the new administration's full-speed
run at a more violent and brutish foreign policy.
The current bill, introduced by staunch Bush supporter and Clinton
impeachment leader Barr, indicates that the Bush administration is
seeking to add legitimacy to the move by implying that Congress and the
American people support the action. This can only mean that there is
quite likely a list of people the Bush Administration wants to start
killing fairly quickly. The appointment of career covert operative
and Annapolis graduate Richard Armitage as Deputy Secretary of State
under Colin Powell only underscores the clear message that the Bush
Administration is sending to the world.
Armitage, who was denied a 1989 appointment as Assistant Secretary of
State because of links to Iran-Contra and other scandals, served as
Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs in
the Reagan years. U.S. Government stipulations in the Oliver North trial
specifically named Armitage as one of the DoD officials responsible for
illegal transfers of weapons to Iran and the Contras. But Armitage's
dirty past goes much deeper.
A Vietnam veteran and graduate of Annapolis, Armitage's roots have been
thoroughly intertwined with the likes of CIA veteran Ted Shackley,
Richard Secord, Heine Aderholt, Elliot Abrams, Dewey Clarridge, Edwin
Wilson and Tom Clines. All of these men have been directly linked to CIA
covert operations, the drug trade, the abandonment of U.S. prisoners of
War after Vietnam and/or Iran-Contra. Armitage has also been routinely
discussed in FTW as a Bush-era covert functionary who has been linked to
covert operations, drug smuggling and the expansion of organized crime
operations in Russia, Central Asia and the Far East.
In 1986 a private dispute between POW activist Ross Perot and Armitage
went public as photos of Armitage with a topless Vietnamese nightclub
owner Nguyen O'Rourke brought allegations of gambling and prostitution
very close to Armitage's doorstep. The stories went public when TIME and
"The Boston Globe" wrote lengthy stories on the feud in 1986 and 1987.
That scandal arose as a result of 1984 investigations by President
Reagan's
Commission on Organized Crime in which the photo and documentation of
gambling charges and prostitution led directly to Armitage's close
association with O'Rourke. Then LAPD Assistant Chief Jesse Brewer, a
former Commanding Officer of this writer, served on the Reagan
Commission.
The 1992 best-seller "Kiss The Boys Goodbye" by former "60 MINUTES"
producer Monika Jensen-Stevenson details Armitage's role as Reagan point
man on Vietnam POW-MIA issues and describes why Armitage has earned the
enmity of many POW activists. However, in a 1995 interview with "The
Washington Post", Colin Powell referred to Armitage as his "white son."
This, notwithstanding the fact that the 6 foot, balding, power-lifter,
now 56, can still bench press 300 or more pounds and reportedly "enjoys
killing."
William Tyree, Special Forces Veteran who has provided much reliable
information and documentation to FTW in the past said, "Armitage used to
'sit ambush' on the trails in Laos and Cambodia. He liked it. Now when
Powell, 'the dove,' sits down at a table with Armitage 'the killer'
beside
him the message will be that Armitage can reach across the table and
deal
with the other party on the spot." That message will not go unheard.

There is reason to believe that a repeal of the assassination ban would
lead to an immediate series of deaths. Remember, the Iran-Contra team is
coming back to power with a vengeance.
The completion of a February 11, 1982 memorandum between Reagan Attorney
General William French Smith and CIA Director Bill Casey removed any
requirement for CIA to report drug trafficking by its agents,
contractors
and proprietary employees. Immediately thereafter cocaine consumption
into
the United States multiplied as imports rose from approximately 80 tons
in
1982 to 600 tons by 1989.
[A copy of that memorandum, published by the CIA in 1998, is available
in
FTW's Extracts and Commentary on Volume II of the CIA Inspector
General's
Report" originally published on 10/8/98.]
There are no choices and this is no longer a convenient exercise of
protected liberty. This is now a true struggle against tyranny. Call
your
Congressman. Call your local media. Call your neighbor. A loud enough
uproar can stop this criminal move in its tracks. Silence can only
invite
bloodshed.
