Sheehan would be the one who gets accused of draining finances

while ruining Sabow's case. Wheaton seemed to be gathering intel

for somebody while pretending he was going to help. At such a

critical time he must have seemed like a useless leech to Col.

Sabow's brother.

George Bush, Donald Gregg and Iran-Contra:

What Did They Know?

Says former Army investigator Gene Wheaton: "Ronald Reagan may

have been President but George Bush was in charge. Weinberger

and Schultz were no match for a covert  operator like him."

--[4]-

Vice President Quayle?s Role In President Bush's CIA Agenda

In the summer of 1991, I got to know William Northrup, the Israeli arms

dealer who was arrested in Bermuda in 1986 for selling arms to Iran. Before

leaving for the States in September, he told me to try and get gut to

California and meet Gene Wheaton. "Gene's a good man," he assured me.

Wheaton had been investigating Reagan-Bush covert operations since the early

1980s and had seen from the inside how these secret agendas operated. In

addition to his 25 years' experience as a criminal investigator for the U.S.

Army, he had designed security systems for airports in the Middle East and

served as an anti-smuggling narcotics advisor to the Shah.

By that time I had interviewed covert operators like Richard Secord, and

Iran-Contra players such as Yaacov Nimrodi. Now I had someone who looked at

the world of covert operations from the perspective of an investigator.

Unlike intelligence agents, Wheaton didn't thrive on lies and deceit. Judging

from his very modest home, he obviously wasn't in it for the money.

 

In 1985 Wheaton was vice president of a small cargo airline company that

Oliver North's network wanted to use to haul arms to the Contras and rebels

elsewhere, such as in Afghanistan. Wheaton had the expertise the secret team

wanted, so they set out to recruit him. While Wheaton may have fit their

political profile, he was conservative and right-wing; he was a cop, not an

intelligence agent. He was brought into the center circle, where he stayed

tong enough to learn about the White House's ties to drug runners, the

massive arms transfers to rebel groups, the mountains of falsified

documentation and miscarriages of justice.

"I had no objection to the covert end of it, as long as it was legal," says

Wheaton. "It wasn't. Whenever I asked about the legality of certain operation

I was told, "It's all right, this is a vital national security issue.' I

talked myself out of the inner circle but I was in- it long enough to get to

know the players and their method of operation. The government officials I

met in the Pentagon called supporting the private covert operator

'intelligence support activity.' These covert operators trampled on our

Constitution and made a mockery of our judicial system. They aren't motivated

strictly by anti-communism, power, or money, but by the adrenaline that stems

from being able to create chaos. They would gladly destabilize a democratic

ally of America just so they can go back in and save it."

Wheaton explains that the origins of Oliver North's network was in the

mid-1970s. There were, he says, literally tens of thousands of ex-covert

operators and former Air America "employees" running around loose in the U.S.

These weren't the kind of guys to lay back and run 7-11 stores, so they set

up an array of covert airlines using the assets of Air America, the former

CIA proprietary airline which had helped fly heroin out of Burma and Laos.

When Air America was liquidated it created scores of smaller airlines,

including Global, Capital, and Southern Cross. All tolled, these companies

employed over 15,000 people. The subsidiary companies of Air America,

Southern. Air Transport, Continental Air Services, and Air Asia were also

broken up. This meant this secret team was able to supply pilots and

mechanics, logistics and control people for future, privatized covert

operations.

The 800 or so covert operators who got thrown out of the CIA by Jimmy Carter

in 1977 allied themselves with the conservative element of the Republican

Party. Their goal was to get George Bush elected to either president or Vice

President. They didn't care which one it was, as long as their man got into

the White House. They rallied around Bush and worked like a political action

committee. They put their unique talents into action. They were going to do

in America what they had done throughout the 1960s and 1970s in Africa and

South and Central America: rig elections and overthrow governments.

 

One aspect of the covert operators' activities was the "October Surprise"

theory, which claims members of Reagan's 1980 campaign team, including George

Bush and William Casey, made a deal with Iranian leaders not to release the

52 American hostages they were holding until after the November presidential

election.

Wheaton claims Quayle was brought "into the game," Bush and Casey's network

of the Secret Team, early on. He believes that a major source of Quayle's

political power in his home state of Indiana comes from an old friend of

William Casey's, Beurt SerVaas, who was on the executive board of the

Veterans of the OSS, the predecessor organization of the CIA. SerVaas's

daughter is married to what Wheaton describes as an "off-the-books" French,

intelligence asset, Bernard Marie. Wheaton says that he introduced Marie to

Defense Intelligence Agency officials who were part of the Reagan-Bush White

House's secret arms deals with Iran in the early 1980s.

"Quayle is being groomed," says Wheaton. "Quayle was a true believer and they

wanted to bring him up through the ranks. It wasn't easy for Bush and Casey

to find people who would go along with their far right-wing philosophy, who

at the same time were articulate and presentable." Quayle's "smoking gun" was

Robert Owen and Owen's ties were to John Hull, a native of Indiana who owned

and managed 8000 acres of land in northern Costa Rica 30 miles from the

Nicaraguan border. The CIA and Oliver North used Hull's ranch as a supply

depot to move weapons to the Contras. Hull used American government

protection to fly drugs from there into the U.S., sometimes on the very same

planes.

George Bush and the Secret Team of Covert Operators

After the fall of Saigon in April 1975, the focus of operations for the

Secret Team moved to the Middle East. Shackley was now in Washington as CIA

Associate Deputy Director in the Directorate of Operations. Clines was in

Washington as head of CIA operations training. Richard Secord was appointed

chief of the U.S. Air Force's Military Assistance Advisory Group, which

represented U.S. defense contractors selling arms to the Shah's army and

training them in the use of this new military equipment. The secret team was

also advising the Shah on how to use sophisticated communications equipment

so his secret police force, SAVAK, could contain the regime's adversaries and

political opponents.

One major military contract the group maintained during this time was

Rockwell Int[e]rnational IBEX's electronic and photographic surveillance

project for intelligence gathering, not only in Iran but in the entire

region, including the then-Soviet Union. -On August 28th, 1976, three of the

top managers of the project were shot dead while driving through Teheran.

Officials blamed Libyantrained Islamic Marxist guerrillas (Washington Post, Au

gust 29th, 30th, 1976), but Gene Wheaton, a longtime U.S. military

investigator and former IBEX Director of Security, says that these people

were killed to cover up a scam which skimmed profits from the IBEX project.

>From the start, IBEX was plagued with corruption. According to a report in

the Washington Post, a month before the assassinations, U.S. ambassador to

Iran Richard Helms and a former CIA head, sent a handwritten letter to

then-CIA Director George Bush complaining about the project and urging him to

investigate allegations  of corruption (The Nation, August 27th, 1988).

 

Wheaton discovered that Secord, Clines, Quintero, and Albert Hakim had a

"historical record of skimming off of military projects, taking kickbacks"

and that they had laundered large amounts of payoffs for military programs in

the Middle East through Swiss bank accounts. Gene Wheaton testified in a

deposition for the Christie Institute that the three Rockwell men "were

murdered to cover misdeeds on the project a project where Albert Hakim served

as the bag man and that this was part of the Ed Wilson network." He claims

that John Harper, who served as head of security for the project from

November 1976 to May 1977, was told by Frank Terpil after the murders that

the "Rockwell matter" had been taken care of.

I was surprised to learn after 4 1/2 years that there was a major player who

showed up at the kitchen table of Glen Wilburn during the early days after the

bombing who I was unaware.  This is the attorney Mike Johnston who had just

finished suing Ishan Barbouti when the bomb went off.  Mike Johnston is now

representing David Hoffman and Gene Wheaton in the million dollar libel suit

brought by Buch Revelle.

As the days progressed toward the initial attack of DESERT STORM Mike Johnston

flew to London to purchase the blue prints of the underground bunkers Barbouti

built to house Sadam's MIGS which he tuned over to the CIA allowing the MIGS to

be surgically removed.  (Pages 182-184 of Hoffman's book THE OKLAHOMA CITY

BOMBING AND THE POLITICS OF TERROR).

an interview 12/99

by R. A. Kris Millegan

KM-Yes, that's one reason why I am asking these questions is because one

thing is that folks have a hard time understanding who has credibility and

who doesn't. Now may I ask you about Gene Wheaton? Have you had much

discussion with Gene Wheaton?

RS-Now I have talked to him a few times, I won't say extensively but I would

at this stage. I would have confidence about some of the things that he

investigated, The DC-8 crash at Gander , I 've flown into Gander many times

in planes when I was captain, I've flown a DC-8. My thinking would be that he

is credible.

Well guys, hate to say I told you so, but here's the latest. It needs

confirming, but the source has been reliable before.

This last weekend I had a speaking engagement in the Silicon Valley for

radio station KFJC. Attending the lecture was From The Wilderness subscriber

and Harvard Law Graduate Rich Scheck. He advised that he had just attended a

meeting of the David Rockefeller's World Affairs Council. He advised that

Dan Sheehan was chairing the session - for David Rockefeller.

If this gets confirmed then I believe that we can categorically place

Sheehan's loyalties without doubt. I might also add that the Orange County

Weekly just did a pretty decent job of trashing Dan Sheehan over his

absolute destruction of the Sabow case last month. That civil case, was

handled by Sheehan and Gene Wheaton and focused on the 1991 murder of Col.

Jim Sabow at El Toro. That case connected directly to CIA, drugs and C-130s.

Dave Sabow is broke and the case is dead.

Al, what do you know about Ted Shackley and his rumored involvement

with a US plan to sell or loan helicopters to Mexico to "fight"

drugs? Seems a little incredible to me, considering the guy's past,

his age, and his official retirement status.

Thanks,

I covered Ted Shackley and Felix Rodriguez's involvement in the sale of

seventy some aging Hueys to Mexico Vol. I, No 5, July, 1998. The helos were

subsequently returned to the U.S. because they could not operate at

sufficient altitude to do what they were intended to do. Some were also

diverted to fight the Zapatistas in Chiapas. That was my story and it's on

my web site if someone searches for Chiapas.

But this is the same David Hoffman who, in his book on the OKC bombing,

embellished his reporting on Ted Shackley by placing himself in Shackley's

living room, describing actions that never took place and who totally burned

a trusted source of mine, (which I had given him), Dee Ferdinand. He took

her totally off the record, not for attribution conversations, taped them

and then wrote them into a book as on-the-record statements.

He is known to associate with a man, Gene Wheaton, whom I believe to be a

CIA wolf in sheep's clothing. I will watch closely to see if my two year old

Chiapas story becomes a part of his next book without any attribution to me.
