[CTRL] JFK Interview
-Caveat Lector- New JFK interview with T. Casey Brennan at... http://bigsleep666.livejournal.com/30273.html Twelve Questions with T. Casey Brennan INTRODUCTION: From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKULTRA Headed by Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, MKULTRA was started on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953, largely in response to alleged Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind-control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war in Korea. The CIA wanted to use similar methods on their own captives. The CIA was also interested in being able to manipulate foreign leaders with such techniques, and would later invent several schemes to drug Fidel Castro... Because most of the MKULTRA records were deliberately destroyed in 1972 by order of the Director at that time, Richard Helms, it is impossible to have a complete understanding of the more than 150 individually funded research projects sponsored by MKULTRA and related CIA programs. -- 1. In Conjurella Messiah: Necronomicon Monks, you describe George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party, as a friend. What was your relationship with him like? TCB: This is the passage from that story, describing Rockwell: MK-ULTRA had sought a protective cover of rightists and paramilitarists, standing ready with their own troops, to aid in the supposed 'invasion of Cuba'. Those who did believe had included American Nazi Party leader, George Lincoln Rockwell, the scholarly but sinister Dr. Fred G. Schwartz of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade (which shared offices with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New Orleans), and martial arts expert Bruce Lee, hell-bent on liberating his people from the murderous brand of communism which had overtaken China. But Walker had refused altogether, and Lee, under orders from David Ferrie, his commanding officer in the Civil Air Patrol, had fired on Walker and missed, deliberately, as a warning. Lee believed, but Walker did not. George Lincoln Rockwell, chess player, essayist, Nazi leader, friend: he believed also. ('Get Lincoln out of that Nazi suit, and talk to him man-to-man, and he's all right,' someone had told me then.) 'Call George and tell him the invasion is off,' David Ferrie said, light-heartedly, after the assassination. That passage is, I think, self-explanatory. David Ferrie, and others in the CIA, had been mobilizing various right-wing groups and leaders for a proposed invasion of Cuba. Rockwell was among these. If you are asking if I was sympathetic to George Lincoln Rockwell, the answer is, of course I was. It would be difficult, in the context of my experiences, to see him as an actual Nazi. Actual Nazis killed millions; George Lincoln Rockwell never killed anyone... he only passed out silly pamphlets, which was, essentially, the same thing Lee Oswald did (or, for that matter, James Earl Ray). He was neither a monster or a hero; he was just a man caught up in the web of the CIA. When the proposed plan to assassinate Castro was replaced with the project to assassinate John Kennedy, one by one, those who knew too much, were murdered or disgraced. How can I not be sympathetic to those men, however I may have felt about their views? But someone should find a list of his pallbearers. 2. In Conjurella Messiah: Necronomicon Monks, you describe Bruce Lee's role in the JFK assassination. How well did you and your family know Bruce Lee? TCB: I have no memories of him, other than this scene from Conjurella Messiah: Necronomicon Monks. Someone should try to contact his remaining family members and try to verify any of this. But as his own death was suspicious, and his son Brandon Lee was shot to death, they may be reluctant to tell... ...That fleeting memory; no before, no after, just the memory. We are in a hotel room, somewhere. It is before the JFK assassination, sometime. Lee is there, like Bruce. They have both seen the children, Dr. E's children, sitting limply in chairs with needles in their necks, headsets on their ears, screens before their vacant faces. Dr. E says: it is necessary: child assassins formed with the super-science of the future, child assassins, a proud tradition of both sides of the now concluded great war, child assassins necessary for the invasion of Cuba. It has already grated on Lee; later, he will seek a friend and confidant in Dallas police officer, J.D. Tippitt, whom he will tell. But for Bruce, it is intolerable NOW. 'Get rid of the kids,' Bruce says, 'We don't need them.' Lee sits, staring downward, his hand on his forehead, wearing that sly, secret smile, only ever-so-slightly visible. 'I can't,' Lee says softly, and matter-of-factly. Bruce side-steps into position and gestures toward me. 'Get rid of the kid,' Bruce says, 'Get him out of here. Take him home. Lose him. Anything.' 3. In Conjurella Fever: Transcending Time and MK-ULTRA, you describe wanting Charles Manson to endorse you as the

[CTRL] Tomdispatch Interview: Chalmers Johnson on Our Military Empire
-Caveat Lector- Tomdispatch Interview: Chalmers Johnson on Our Military Empire [Note to Tomdispatch readers: This is the seventh in an ongoing series of interviews at the site. The last three were with Juan Cole (parts 1 and 2), Ann Wright, and Mark Danner. Tom.] Cold Warrior in a Strange Land A Tomdispatch Interview with Chalmers Johnson (Part 1) As he and his wife Sheila drive me through downtown San Diego in the glare of mid-day, he suddenly exclaims, Look at that structure! I glance over and just across the blue expanse of the harbor is an enormous aircraft carrier. It's the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, he says, the newest carrier in the fleet. It's a floating Chernobyl and it sits a proverbial six inches off the bottom with two huge atomic reactors. You make a wrong move and there goes the country's seventh largest city. Soon, we're heading toward their home just up the coast in one of those fabled highway traffic jams that every description of Southern California must include. We feel we're far enough north, he adds in the kind of amused tone that makes his company both alarming and thoroughly entertaining, so we could see the glow, get the cat, pack up, and head for Quartzsite, Arizona. Chalmers Johnson, who served in the U.S. Navy and now is a historian of American militarism, lives cheek by jowl with his former service. San Diego is the headquarters of the 11th Naval District. It's wall to wall military bases right up the coast, he comments. By the way, this summer the Pentagon's planning the largest naval concentration in the Pacific in the post-World War II period! Four aircraft-carrier task forces -- two from the Atlantic and that's almost unprecedented -- doing military exercises off the coast of China. That afternoon, we seat ourselves at his dining room table. He's seventy-four years old, crippled by rheumatoid arthritis and bad knees. He walks with a cane, but his is one of the spriest minds in town. Out the window I can see a plethora of strange, oversized succulents. (That's an Agave attenuata, he says. If you want one, feel free. We have them everywhere. When the blue-gray Tequila plant blooms, its flower climbs 75 feet straight up! Then you get every hummingbird in Southern California.) In the distance, the Pacific Ocean gleams. Johnson is wearing a black t-shirt that, he tells me, a former military officer and friend brought back from Russia. (He was amused to see hippies selling these in the Moscow airport.) The shirt sports an illustration of an AK-47 on its front with the inscription, Mikhail Kalashnikov in Cyrillic script, and underneath, The freedom fighter's friend, a product of the Soviet Union. On the back in English, it says, World Massacre Tour with the following list: The Gulf War, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Angola, Laos, Nicaragua, Salvador, Lebanon, Gaza Strip, Karabakh, Chechnya To be continued. Johnson, who served as a lieutenant (jg) in the Navy in the early 1950s and from 1967-1973 was a consultant for the CIA, ran the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of California, Berkeley for years. He defended the Vietnam War (In that I was distinctly a man of my times ), but is probably the only person of his generation to have written, in the years since, anything like this passage from the introduction to his book Blowback: The problem was that I knew too much about the international Communist movement and not enough about the United States government and its Department of Defense In retrospect, I wish I had stood with the antiwar protest movement. For all its naiveté and unruliness, it was right and American policy wrong. Retired, after a long, provocative career as a Japan specialist, he is the author of the prophetic Blowback, The Costs and Consequences of American Empire, published in 2000 to little attention. After 9/11, it became a bestseller, putting the word blowback, a CIA term for retaliation for U.S. covert actions, into common usage. He has since written The Sorrows of Empire, Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic. (As an academic subject, the American Empire is largely taboo, he tells me. I'm now comfortably retired, but I had a successful academic career. I realize that young academics today will take up the subject and start doing research on aspects of our empire only if they've got some cover. They need somebody to go first. I've had some of my former graduate students say, Look, you're invulnerable. If you won't take the lead, why do you expect us to go do a research project on the impact of American military whorehouses on Turkey. I mean, let's face it, it's a good subject!) He is just now completing the final volume of his Blowback Trilogy. It will be entitled Nemesis. Sharp as a tack, energetic and high-spirited, by turns genuinely alarmed and thoroughly sardonic, he's a talker by nature. Our encounter is an interview in name only. No one has ever needed an interviewer

[CTRL] An Interview With Avraham Burg
-Caveat Lector- On the eve of destruction He caused a furor - so does Avraham Burg regret his harsh, apocalyptic remarks on the failures of Zionism? Not one bit: 'I am directing all my energy to the central effort of saving Israel from the occupation, of saving Zionism from itself.' By Ari Shavit Your article generated a furor in the Jewish world. Many people had the feeling that the former chairman of the Zionist Movement had crossed the lines and become a post-Zionist. Burg: Even when I was chairman of the Zionist movement, I was unable to say what was Zionist and what was post-Zionist. My worldview does not allow me to accept Orthodoxy - of either the Jewish or the Zionist variety. Therefore, if Zionism today means Greater Israel, not only am I a post-Zionist, I am an anti-Zionist. If Zionism is Netzarim and Kiryat Arba, I am an anti-Zionist. I do not accept the type of Zionism that took Judaism, with all its dazzling beauty, and turned it into the worship of trees and stones. When I look around today, my feeling is that Netzarim has become an altar, God has become a Moloch and our children have become sacrifices: human sacrifices to terrible idol worship. In your article you describe Israel as a dark and cruel nationalist state. Do you feel that Israel is becoming a new South Africa? That the Israelis are the new Afrikaners? We are living in a country that is undergoing a process of moral decay. What frightens me the most is that we are not paying attention to the process that we are going through. Without noticing, we are continually distancing ourselves, a little more and then a little more, from the place we were. Suddenly an F-16 warplane is about to attack a building in which there are innocent people, and some army commanders say that despite this, they sleep well at night. What is happening is that we are increasingly coming to resemble our enemies. We are losing the feeling and the sensitivity that were our conscience. In the streets of our cities, especially Jerusalem, I see slogans calling for `Death to the Arabs' that the municipality no longer bothers to erase. I see terrible graffiti - racist and Kahanist - that we accept offhandedly. We don't even take note of them. The cancerous process is devouring us. The Zionist perversion embodied by the settlers and the right wing has terminally affected every fabric of our life and hasn't left any place that is not affected by the nationalist consciousness. If our last remaining healthy cells do not rise up and stem the virus, we will no longer exist. We will simply no longer exist. Have things gone that far? Do you see a process of destruction? Does the former chairman of the Zionist Movement really believe that Zionism is dead? The current channel is taking us to that. Maybe we will be Israelis. Or Jews. But we will not be Zionists who are continuing the Zionism that created the state. Consider two simple tests. Does the State of Israel fit the contour lines envisaged by Theodor Herzl? No. Does the State of Israel meet the criteria and the values enshrined in the Declaration of Independence? No. That is the truth. That is the basic truth from which we have been fleeing for the past 35 years. I find two dimensions in what you are saying: a dimension of moral outrage and an apocalyptic dimension. That's right. That is my frame of mind. I think nationalist Zionism has taken us to terrible places from which it will be very hard for us to extricate ourselves. Look, I go through agony every time my children go out to the German Colony neighborhood of Jerusalem [where the suicide bombing at Hillel Cafe occurred]. On the other hand, what really scares me is the day, which is not far off, when the Palestinian baby will be born who will turn the Jews in this country into a minority. What are we going to do then? What are we going to do when we no longer have the excuse and the strength of being a majority? I think every generation has its formative truth. And the formative truth of this generation is that between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, the Jews are going to become a minority. That is what we have to cope with. But the government of Israel and Israeli politics are not succeeding in coping with that truth. In the past three years we have reached a state of mute shock. A situation of no words. There is nothing to say. That's why I wrote the article. Because I reached the conclusion that for the past three years, we have said nothing. Throughout your political career you have projected a certain energetic optimism, which has sometimes been a bit immature and at other times frivolous. Do you want to tell me that you have really become a pessimist? Are you really all that gloomy? When you ask Israelis today whether their children will be living here 25 years down the road, you don't get an unequivocally positive answer. You don't hear a booming yes. On the contrary: Young people are being encouraged to study abroad. Their

Tony Kushner Interviewed By Ben Greenman http://motherjones.com/arts/qa/2003/11/ma_586_01.html November/December 2003 Issue Tony Kushner is the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, which airs as a two-part film -- directed by Mike Nichols and starring Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, and Emma Thompson -- on HBO this December. The play, originally written in 1990, is a sweeping indictment of the Reagan era that follows the story of Prior, an AIDS sufferer caught between an ex-boyfriend and a married lover with a mentally disabled wife. The invented characters are counterweighted by a subplot that centers on Roy Cohn, the McCarthy-era lawyer and right-wing bulldog who died of AIDS in 1986. Kushner's other plays include Homebody/Kabul, an eerily prescient play written pre-9/11 that links the modern worlds of London and New York to the fanatical politics of the Taliban, and the forthcoming Caroline or Change, a work set in Civil Rights-era Louisiana. He is also the author of the recently published call to arms, Save Your Democratic Citizen Soul! Rants, Screeds and Other Public Utterances for Midnight in the Republic, a book targeted at young activists. Mother Jones: It's been a long road for Angels in America to finally make it to the TV screen. Wasn't Robert Altman going to direct a film version at one point? Tony Kushner: Yes -- I think Altman is a major American artist, and he was one of the first people I wanted to work with. I sent him the play and he was immediately interested. For about a year and a half I worked with him, wrote a screenplay. At that time it was supposed to be a theatrical release, but studio executives had concerns -- about the material, about the budget, about the length -- and it fell apart. At one point, even after Altman had left the project, I tried to collapse Angels into one three-hour movie and found that it was impossible. It just literally has too much plot. MJ: So you're pleased it's ending up on the small screen? TK: I've felt for a long time that TV was the right home. I'm kind of a TV junkie, and I felt much less intimidated writing for the smaller-size picture. There's something about TV that's much more like theater. The picture quality is not so great, and so you don't get these epic visual spectaculars like Lord of the Rings. Also, just in terms of the kind of arguments you can make, it's primarily a dialectical medium, alternating between two cameras. It's limited -- but in an interesting way. MJ: The HBO production is being grouped with other shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in this new category of gay TV. How do you feel about that? TK: As a gay man, I'm enormously interested in the phenomenon. Gay TV has been immensely important in transforming American culture in a more gay-positive direction. Roseanne and Madonna, in their respective domains, are so important in their liberation of sexual minoritarians. A show like Will Grace, especially in the first few seasons, was pretty transgressive in its treatment of the body -- pretty kinky and interesting. And Queer Eye is fascinating. It has a pinch-me-I'm- dreaming quality. It's very bourgeois, of course, and much more about the liberation of the consumer than the liberation of the democratic citizen. Interestingly, I think that Angels will feel tame in some ways. I don't write sexy. It's not remotely as hot as some of the things you'll see on normal cable. MJ: Since 9/11, another of your plays, Homebody/Kabul, has gotten even more attention than Angels in America. Is it true that you have been rewriting that play since it was first staged? TK: I have been working on it, yes, but not for
[CTRL] The Interview That Never Happened [Rendon 2]
-Caveat Lector- http://www.antiwar.com/orig/deliso62.html SAVE THIS | EMAIL THIS | Close The Interview That Never Happened When the Masters of Spin Go Silent by Christopher Deliso in Skopje December 16, 2002 With the White House seemingly on an unavoidable collision course with Saddam Hussein, hawkish policy planners now face a new challenge: how to sell the war to an increasingly unenthusiastic public. All across America from Long Island to Minneapolis, from Boston to Atlanta, from Sioux Falls to Sacramento to Seattle antiwar demonstrations have been springing up, as even citizens normally disinterested in foreign affairs voice concern over the possible negative effects war would have on the economy. In addition, there is a growing unease that war with Iraq would negatively impact on America's image abroad, and perhaps incite further al Qaeda terrorism as a form of revenge although, ironically, bin Laden has no affection for Saddam. The president, of course, is desperately hoping he can find the two in cahoots, somehow. Keeping in mind that Iraq never attacked the United States, neither in 1990 or now, the looming war is hard to justify. That is, unless public relations can again save the day. A Paradigm Shift The Gulf War was the first time America played the humanitarian card to justify attacking a much weaker country. What began with Bush's babies in incubators myth (handled by PR whiz Hill Knowlton) was perfected by Clinton, who almost ten years later used the all- too-popular (and all-too-bogus) myth of ethnic cleansing to justify attacking Serbia. Almost four years on, anti-Serbian biasstill pervades the British and American media and think-tanks. Anti-Iraq coverage goes without saying. After September 11th, the paradigm has shifted from humanitarian intervention to terrorism pre-emption. Yet the White House's self-declared right to shoot first and ask questions later portrays the administration negatively, as both cowboy desperado and confused paranoic. It also begs the question of whether ulterior motivesare at work here, as John Pilger argues in a scathing indictment of US energy goals in Iraq. Although Americans are much more clever this time around, after witnessing a decade of PR propaganda in the Yugoslav wars, the White House apparently believes that the average citizen will still support war, if it is only spun the right way. The only question is who will do the spinning. Enter Rendon? The last Gulf War was brought to you partially by a little company in Washington known as the Rendon Group. This PR giant has clients around the world, but none quite so grand as the United States government. Rendon was once enlisted to make the case subtly and deceptively for why America should support a war against Saddam. And in the end, it worked. But the worst thing? The PR blitz that captivated both media and ordinary citizens alike was paid for by the very people it was meant to seduce the American taxpayers, whose funds continue to grease the wheels for the government's war machine. However, the people ate it up sadly, re-affirming the adage that the voters get the leaders they deserve. The Unsuccessful Request I thought, therefore, that an interview with the Rendon Group about their past successes and future aspirations would allow them a chance to give their side of the story since most published reports have been overwhelmingly critical. However, my requests for an interview met only with silence. Were the nuanced masters of eloquent persuasion really at a loss for words? Since they apparently are, I have been forced to conduct an interview with a respondent who is absent, drawing on Rendon's publicly-made statements and independent investigations. Coming from an aggressively outspoken PR firm, silence would seem incrimination enough. Yet as we will see, even their own statements give them away. In the following, the questions I had prepared come at the headings of each section. How Would You Describe Your Services and Objectives? The Rendon Group (TRG) is a Global Strategic Communications Consultancy providing products and services to both public and private sector clients. TRG's expertise includes strategic communications consultation, planning and evaluation; information strategy and operations; public and media relations planning and implementation; crisis management; news collection and analysis; information mapping; survey research; media production; and tactical communications team deployment. To date, TRG has worked in eighty (80) countries, frequently on location in a conflict environment, and has considerable experience in establishing field offices to support program objectives. This description culled directly from the Rendon Group's website gives in official language a picture that can basically be boiled down to two words: information war. After first accumulating data, they manipulate it and in some cases,

The interview, conducted by Sanaa Al-Sa'id, appeared in the Egyptian opposition weekly Al-Usbu':(1) Islamic Jihad H.Q. in Damascus Will Not Be Closed Question: Colin Powell recently criticized Syria and defined the Damascus-headquartered Jihad movement as terrorist. What is your position, particularly after Washington asked Syria to close Jihad headquarters...? Al-Shar': Activity in the Jihad movement's headquarters is limited to the media aspect, and those who work there have no connection to military activity or operations planning. The leaders of the Palestinian [battle] field are in the field... Anyone living on Syrian soil cannot plan operations to be carried out on Palestinian soil... Question: From this, can it be concluded that Syria will not comply with the American request...? Al-Shar': We can comply with this only in one instance: [when] the Palestinians return to their homeland Palestine... We hope that the U.S. will agree to this and will pressure Israel so that the Palestinians will return to their homeland, in accordance with [U.N. General Assembly] Resolution 194. Russia Promised Sharon to Refrain from Sending SAM-19 Missiles to Syria Question: What truth is there in the claim that Russia complied with Sharon's request to refrain from giving Syria SAM-19 missiles, which means Russian submission to Israel with whom it has advanced military relations, and thus Sharon brags that America and the countries of the world obey his demands? Al-Shar': I will not respond to questions of this kind, but I will say only that Sharon boasts about everything. He summoned the American ambassador and told him that Syria must close the offices of the Islamic Jihad and thus saw himself as a victor... Evidently, the only thing Sharon enjoys right now is complaining about Syria to the U.S. ambassador to Israel. I say that this complaint made no echoes, because the offices of [the Islamic Jihad] are nothing but information offices, and whoever works in them has a legitimate right to express the hopes of his people. With regard to the lie that they are capable of carrying out operations... they [Islamic Jihad in Damascus] can plan no operations against Israel while they are abroad, far from the soil on which the operations are carried out. U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441 Question: What about Syria's vote in favor of Resolution 1441? Do you think that there is a possibility that Syria will be taken off the list of countries sponsoring terrorism that the U.S. put years ago? Al-Shar': This decision is in America's hands. When we voted on resolution 1441, we did not do it in order to get anything from America [in return], but out of conviction and because of our national [Syrian] and Pan-Arab positions. We voted in favor in order to remove the war from Iraq and to clear the Resolution of its military content, and to [prevent] the automatic blow that could have been landed on Iraq and on the entire region. Question: What is your response to those who say that Syria does not want to see an invasion of Iraq because it fears for itself, and fears the possibility that its turn will be next? Al-Shar': It is no shame

Kennedy, the second shooter on the grassy knoll on November 22, 1963. Thus begins Interview with the Assassin.A dark, creepy, hyper-realistic docudrama,Interview With the Assassin is one hell of a film. Written and directed by one of Filmmaker magazines Top 25 New Faces of Indie Film, 39-year-old New York native Neil Burger, and shot in digital video in just 22 days on a $700,000 budget, the result is a harrowing and disturbing trip. Is Walter Ohlinger telling the truth? Photographer Ron Kobeleski isnt sure, but knows that if its true, he stands to break the unsolved murder of the century. With visions of fame and fortune dancing in his mind, Ron sets out with Walter on a journey across the country that rapidly descends into uncertainty, paranoia, and fear. Filmed on location in Los Angeles, Dallas and Washington, the film does not try to solve the murder of JFK. That movie is pushing a certain theory about what happened, director Burger tells HT when asked if hed like to see a similar brouhaha around Interview With the Assassin as that raised by Oliver Stones JFK. My movie is a much more personal movie. Stones movie wrapped all these conspiracy theories into one, which is an amazing accomplishment and a great movie, but mine is a much more focused story about these two characters and how they navigate the world, a world where truth is subjective. Its about how they bring meaning to their lives in a world where these things gone so long unexplained, and how they find their way through that. That said, the story as told by Walter involves a military sniper team firing the fatal shot into Kennedys head, and a set-up patsy named Lee Harvey Oswald. It isnt only Ron who isnt sure about the truth. The viewers too are left wondering throughout the film about whether or not he has gotten himself hooked up with a crazy man or the real second shooter. There has to be some proof, he tells Walter, or else you are nothing, a nobody, and the story is worthless. Walter first takes Ron to a bank vault to show him a spent rifle cartridge which turns out upon inspection to have been fired at about the right time to have been used to kill Kennedy. In one classic dont go up the stairs scene, Walter takes Ron to a gun shop to look for a rifle similar to that used in 1963. He insists that Ron buy the rifle and a pistol too using his own identification, then tells him to take the rifle to his own home. The whole movie is walking a fine line between is Walter telling the truth, is he crazy, or is he somehow setting Ron up for a fall, says Burger. The two travel to the desert home of an old Marine buddy of Walters named Jimmy Jones, played by Jared McVay, a former Marine who was in real life one of a 12-man team sent into Cuba during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion back in 1961, and is now a full-time actor. There, Walter shows off his skill with the rifle. On the visit they discover that Walters former Marine commander, the man he alleges set up the hit and the only one who can verify his story, is still alive. The plot of Interview With the Assassin is lent credence by a real, peer-reviewed report published March 2001 in Science and Justice, a quarterly publication of Britains

[CTRL] Brief Interview W/ David Icke
-Caveat Lector- http://www.metro.co.uk/metro/interviews/interview.html?in_page_id=8in_interview_id=371 David Icke by James Ellis, July 17th, 2002 INJURY THWARTED DAVID Icke's football career, so he went on to sports presenting before quitting to campaign on environmental issues. A 1992 interview with Terry Wogan - in which he claimed the world is run by an elite class with a direct bloodline to an ancient serpent race - led to him being ridiculed across the nation. Now a controversial author and motivational speaker, he fronts Headf**k on the Sci-Fi channel from Saturday. So what's Headf**k about? I've been researching how we're manipulated through the mind. How do you keep sheep under control? You get them to follow the one in front and the ones who don't face the fear of the sheepdog. The media has become the indoctrination machine for an official version of events. The September 11 story comes from official statements - not investigative journalism. Headf**K is about showing images and letting people think what they want. When you last left TV, you said you'd been doing it for the money. Is it not the case this time? What I said was I was bored stiff with TV and I was doing it to finance my environmental campaign - which is slightly different. I don't need to do it because my books [holds them up] sell to people all over the world. People in America have asked me to do things that have been straight talking-head programmes. I'm just not interested. How did you deal with people thinking you were mad? That assumes I care about public perception. People have a right to make of it what they will and people such as me have a right not to care. Life constantly presents the greatest opportunity brilliantly disguised as the biggest disaster. I used to be concerned with what people thought of me. But, suddenly, I couldn't walk down a street without being laughed at. One of two things happens: you go under or you become free. We're all in the prison of what other people think. We live in a system which has outsheeped the sheep. At least the sheep need a sheepdog to frighten them. The human herd polices itself and makes it a crime to be different. Any society where it's a crime or a hassle to be different is a society based on psychological fascism. How did your kids deal with it? They got a lot of stick but it's been the making of them too. If you have an easy life, it often creates very lopsided personalities. To harden steel, you put it through a fire. They are fantastic kids and all individuals; one of my sons is in a rock band, my daughter is a one-off and so is my other son. What happened to the turquoise? That's all part of the experience that I'm talking about. That led to the release from the things most other people are imprisoned by. It was just an experience. Unfortunately, most people live in a time warp and can't move beyond those days - that's fine for them. I've moved on and I ain't going there - there's no need. Do you believe in God? Religion is the greatest form of mind control invented - whatever name it goes under. If people want that belief system, then feel free. I'm only interested if they try and impose it on others. The Christian Bible is a symbolic book not a literal one. The one Christians know as Jesus was actually a symbol for the sun. Ancient sun worshippers believed the sun died at the end of the winter solstice and then three days later it would be reborn at the start of it's cycle - December 25. Take Samson. The sun's cycle was also symbolised by the life of a man. After the winter solstice, it would be a baby; at its summer peak, it would be strong with long hair; in autumn, its hair would be cut as the rays were less powerful. So, do I believe in God? Absolutely not - you must be f**king joking. You do use the term 'Thank God' on your website though... How many atheists say that? Let me explain. Everything is made of vibrating energy. The difference between solid and not is the speed at which it vibrates. We actually live in a frequency range - the ones our five senses can access - not a world. We've been manipulated into believing our tiny frequency range is all there is. Look at cats, they react to what we see as empty space and dogs hear different sound frequencies. Take all the energy that exists and that is my God. Not someone sitting on a throne handing out heaven and hell. Why has there been an increase in Scottish UFO sightings? I've no idea but when you're caught in a five-sense prison, it excludes you from lots of possibilities. People say: 'I saw this UFO that disappeared.' Others think they are mad. But what if things could enter and leave our frequency range? They'd enter our ability to see them and then leave. I watched an Horizon programme about parallel universes and they had scientists saying the things I was saying years ago: 'This is the only way the universe can be explained - nothing else fits.' Science has been in its own
[CTRL] Excellent Interview W/ Victor Thorne
-Caveat Lector- http://www.bankindex.com/Revealing_News/VT_BM/ June 12, 2002 J.Conti Contributing Author Bankindex.com Debt into the trillions of dollars, wars encompassing the entire planet, elite agendas, globalization, the Federal Reserve and the future of humanity are just some of the topics author Victor Thorn speaks about in his books and at his web site www.BabelMagazine.com. Shocking to some, enlightened to others, one thing is certain, Victor Thorn is more than a passionate author. He is in fact a man with a powerful message for the American people. A message no one can afford to miss. Victor's message is one of extreme urgency and the need for immediate action to prevent a catastrophe of global proportions. As a critical thinker beyond most, as an accomplished author and philosopher, Victor tells us in his own words, "I'm afraid it's now or never." Following is the text of this world wide exclusive interview with Victor Thorn, conducted by yours truly, J. Conti of Bankindex.com. I have titled this interview "The Cat is Out of the Bag" due to the nature of the information discussed. Please read on, you'll see how appropriate the title is. JC Hello, Victor. It's a great pleasure to have you. Please tell us a little about yourself, about the books you have written, and the driving force behind such controversial topics. VT The driving force behind my political writing is fairly simple - I see this country being deliberately undermined by hidden forces that have seized control of our government by nefarious means, and thus use it to further promote their Globalist agenda. These shadowy figures, who I've labeled the Controllers, don't operate with our best interests in mind, but instead their own. Thus, the only hope we have left of saving this nation is to expose them in a dramatic way, then eradicate them as quickly as possible. JC Obviously you are passionate about your work and the message you're trying to convey to the public. Why is it so important for the public to hear what you have to say? VT In my opinion, the importance of what I write stems directly from survival and preservation. Do the American people enjoy being the world's premier superpower, and all that this privilege entails? Do we appreciate our financial status, and the freedoms we're essentially taking for granted? If we do, and this point is very serious - if we do cherish these ideals and rights, we better start acting like it because the die has been cast to alter the way of life we've become accustomed to. It's time that we look beyond the veil and actually see what the Controllers are planning for us ⦠and believe me, these devils are consummate planners. As of now, China is set to become the world's next superpower, while America will assume a subordinate position (ala Russia in relation to us right now). The reason that China will assume the reins of power isn't because they necessarily want to, but because they've been "selected" due to one elemental factor - exploitation. If viewed from a historical perspective, you'll see what I mean. Three centuries ago, the British Empire stood proudly as the world's preeminent superpower. No one else compared in terms of military or economic might, and if you would have asked any Englishman if they'd ever get toppled from their throne, they would have thought the notion absurd. But lo and behold, America entered the picture, and those with global, far-reaching aims realized the potential this land possessed. Following both the American and Industrial Revolutions, our vast potential became apparent in terms of land, resources, and promise. Or, as Alphonse Rothschild said in 1849 while visiting New York City, "Without the slightest doubt, this is the cradle of a new civilization." So, America boomed, bailed out Europe in a couple of World Wars, and rose to become the greatest nation of modern times. But now China enters the picture with a population of one-billion people, most of whom don't have cellular phones, microwaves, DVD players, or automobiles. So what actions do the Controllers take? They "select" Globalist leaders to implement their plans by not only giving China "Most Favored Nation" status, but they also sell them all the computer software, hardware, and know-how to move them into our league. It's absurd, like a cow deliberately walking into a slaughterhouse to be butchered. Thanks Bill Clinton and George Bush (I II) for selling us out. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Don't even get me started on the atrocities of war, NAFTA, etc. JC Can you tell us about the American money system? That is, how it really works. I think an overview will benefit us all. VT For any country to truly prosper, it must have control over its money system. It's that simple. Financial independence (not being beholden to anybody) is the key. That's one of the main reasons why our Founding Fathers broke free from England. Not only did they seek religious freedom, but also

According to the N.Y. Fed itself, as of June 30, 1997 the top eight shareholders were Chase Manhatten Bank Citibank Morgan Guaranty Trust Company Fleet Bank Bankers Trust Bank of New York Marine Midland Bank Summit Bank. All of the major shareholders seen here and all of the banks on the complete list are either nationally- or state-chartered banks. All of them are U.S.-owned. Kah's claim that foreigners directly own the N.Y. Fed is completely wrong. This list is consistent, however, with Mullins in that all the owners are domestic banks functioning within the N.Y. Federal Reserve district. The discrepancies are likely due to mergers, new entries into the banking market, or other significant changes in the size of district banks since the publication of Mullins' list. One point is clear: foreigners do not own the New York Federal Reserve directly'. Actually, banking in New York in the first half of the 20th Century was very much a 'white shoe' affair. All the 'Jewish' bankers came out of two small banks out of over a hundred in the city. I remember seeing a list of the 500 or so most important bankers of that era and only three or four were of any real importance.

[CTRL] Shippers Interview: Prior Knowledge
-Caveat Lector- PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS: David Shippers (Lawyer, Brought down the Chicago Mob, Impeached Clinton): Government Had Prior Knowledge Key Points: (1) The FBI knows another terrorist attack is being planned, right now, for somewhere in Oklahoma City (site unknown) (2) The FBI has been, and still is, prohibiting their agents or local police from taking known terrorists into custody. (3) An Iraqi terrorist cell was involved in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and is still involved. (4) Ashcroft and members of Congress are not listening. (5) Contact your members of Congress and ask them WHY? In this interview, Iraqi Terrorists refers to the Iraqi Republican Guard, resettled after the Gulf War, near Oklahoma City by former Pres. Bush. David Shippers Interview Alex Jones Radio Show October 10, 2001 (in progress) DS: in Oklahoma City and, frankly, when I first heard the information, I just poo-pooed it, as did everybody else - they thought here comes another one of those crazy conspiracy theories, you know. The woman who is a former investigative reporter down in Oklahoma City wrote to me after I came back from Washington and just, you know - congratulations - you did a hell of a job. I wrote back and the next thing you know she wrote back again and told me that she had information indicating a middle eastern connection. I called her at that point and just for my own conscious if there was something out there I'd want to find out about it - she began to tell me what she had and she sent me a short summary - a couple of pages - laying out what she had garnered during her investigations. It really piqued by interest. So I asked her if she had more. She said yes she had an awful lot of stuff, but she wouldn't want to send it up through the mail or any other way. So she and her husband fle w up to Chicago and brought a mass of information - I mean affidavits, all kinds of things. AJ: And we've had Col. Craig Roberts, who was a detective working the case on this show many times, a month before attack, predicting one was imminent. He has all that same information. They actually arrested some of these guys and the Justice Dept. in 1995 said to release them. DS: That's right - and the words out today that they are not even allowed to touch them, the Oklahoma City police are not allowed to touch these people. And from what I'm understanding, they are up to something again in Oklahoma City. I don't know what it is or what their target is but these same people are at it again. The terrible thing here else, something that few people know that there was a warning sent out. Have you ever heard of Ysolf Bodansky (sp)? AJ: Yes. DA: He is the guy that wrote the book about Bin Laden. He was hooked up with some Congressional leaders in the House - kind of an unofficial, for lack of a better word, a strike force, a task force on terrorism. They sent out a warning on February 19, 1995, saying there was going to be a massive attack by the terrorists in the heartland of the United States and it was going to be a federal facility. Everybody ignored it. By the way, I have seen that warning, I have seen that warning. I don't have it in front of me so I can't go into the specifics of it too heavily but at the same time, there was in that warning that there was going to be a massive attack in Washington - it took them six years to do it. The targets were going to be Washington, the White House and the Capitol Building. - And that they were going to use airliners to attack them. AJ: Now later you got it from FBI agents in Chicago and Minnesota that there was going to an attack on lower Manhattan. DS: Yea - and that's what started me calling. I started calling out there. First of all, I tried to see if I could get a Congressman to go to bat for me and at least bring these people out there and listen to them. I sent them information and nobody cared. It was always, We'll get back to you, we'll get back to you, we'll get back to you. Then I reached out and tried to get to the Attorney General, when finally we got an attorney general in there that I would be willing to talk to. And, again, I used people who were personal friends of John Ashcroft to try to get him. One of them called me back and said, Alright I have talked to him. He will call you tomorrow morning. This was like a month before the bombing. The next morning I got a call. It wasn't from Ashcroft. It was from somebody in the Justice Dept. AJ: One of his handlers. DS: Yea, and I started telling him the situation and he said, You know we don't start our investigations at the top. I said I would like to talk to the Attorney General because this is vital. He said, We don't start our investigations at the top. Let me look into this and I will get back to you. As I sit here today, I have never heard from him. AJ: Again, David Shippers, you are big in Washington, you were the top lawyer that got Clinton

(RFK Jr's lecture was censored from the schedule of events for 2002 - actually no events were listed after Spring 2001, coincidentally the same time UT censored all news from its campus radio station - and the Issues Committee webpage was unavailable without a specific search or prior link, but the lecture was published in the campus newspaper the same day of the lecture. The requested email notification was not sent. Only 200 people attended in the auditorium seating 700, plus an empty overflow room.) [Question and answer session after the lecture, which was pretty good, BTW, but missing certain key pieces of info. He did falsely allege that no nations are targeting nukes at USA - EVEN THE PENTAGON ALWAYS ROUTINELY TARGETS NUKES AT USA and at our allies, just in case - I know because I loaded those nukes while in US Air Force. My intention was to at least give those 200 folks a heads up that all is not perfect in Knoxville.] John Lee: I would like to say that I'm glad you are here to speak in Knoxville and I agree with everything you said [a white lie - the pathetic students were so dumbed down they obviously could not handle the entire truth]. Knoxville has the worst air pollution in USA for 2001, according to EPA, and ORNL is the world's largest nuclear waste dump, according to DOE. I'm a paralegal investigator of two class actions pending in federal and state court against the Skull and Bones mayor and his Mafia-connected contractors, including a RICO Act case involving illegal towing, as I'm sure everyone in this room is aware. What was the name of the law you quoted with the $27,000/day 'bounty' on major polluters - is that US Code or CFR? [Kennedy had reported that this law allows private citizens to sue on behalf of the government - ex rel - when government fails to do its job.] Robert Kennedy Jr: That was the Clean Water Act. John Lee: Is that law still in effect? Robert Kennedy Jr: Yes. John Lee: On Sunday night at 11pm, PAX TV is broadcasting a show about your cousin, John F. Kennedy Jr. Are you familiar with that documentary? Robert Kennedy Jr: No. There are a lot of people in line - why don't you sit down until you can get to your question?... John Lee: I'm sure you are familiar with it [I did not push this question since we were in the heart of the Mafia's $40-Billion/year world-wide cartel of garbage-trucking and tow-trucking, and he was a prosecutor in Mafia's birthplace of New York City, and if he was not comfortable discussing it in public I could wait until after the lecture to ask about it.] Are you familiar with an article on Worldnetdaily.com about the United Nations control of National Parks? Robert Kennedy Jr: No. John Lee: I would like to read a paragraph from a news article and get your response. Worldnetdaily.com published this article on February 16th [Toward a wilderness utopia by Henry Lamb]: 'The Southern Applalachian Biosphere Preserve was designated in 1988 as the 500,000 acre Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

[CTRL] Interesting Interview W/ Norman Finkelstein
Does the fact that you come from a family some of whose members went through the Jewish holocaust give you a certain immunity to write a book such as "The Holocaust Industry"? This book could not have been written by someone who was not Jewish. No doubt the fact that my father was a survivor of the Nazi holocaust has provided me additional immunity. But despite all the "immunity," I have been subjected to a frightful personal and professional assault. Indeed in the end I lost my job at the university where I had worked for ten years sacked.html, although I always received the highest marks in student evaluations in my department, and I published four books in the last five years. But there is another point in response to your question. It is that much of what I mentioned in my book would only be known to someone "on the inside." Other than Nazi holocaust survivors and their families no one was aware that the "holocaust" industry was stealing compensation money for the massacres of the holocaust. Most people really believed that the funds went to the "needy victims of the holocaust." I also was aware as I was growing up, how a large number of the Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe falsified their past, claiming that they were Nazi holocaust survivors when in fact they were not. This falsification both amused and disgusted my father. How have the media in the United States and Europe treated your book? My book was a best seller throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. The British newspaper The Guardian serialized it, and every major British newspaper devoted at least a full page to a discussion of it. The French newspaper Le Monde devoted two full pages to it in addition to its lead editorial. The most enthusiastic response came from Germany where 130,000 copies were sold in three weeks after publication. But in contrast to the clamor that my book aroused in Europe, and it was a deafening clamor, it met only silence in the United States, a deafening silence! And once it became impossible to ignore the enthusiastic response to the book in Europe, America's main newspapers, such as The New York Times began publishing hysterical articles describing the book and its author as "anti-Semitic." These articles actually killed the book in America. How did the Zionist and Jewish lobby receive it? The policy of these lobbies was, to put it simply, to ignore the book. There is an old saying among some publishers: "bad publicity is better than no publicity!" So they resolved not to give the book any publicity, even bad. But the contents of my book in the end leaked out via the Internet and word of mouth. I believe I caused great damage to the Holocaust industry in the matter of compensation paid to survivors of the holocaust. Until my book was published, everybody (in the west) believed, including people on the left and those who usually criticized the lobbies, that the payment of compensation to survivors of the holocaust is a just cause. Now it has become very well known that these compensations are an extortion plot: there is a gang of traveling salesmen that make off with billions of billions of dollars for themselves by exploiting the sufferings of the Jews during the Second World War. When you talk about the Zionist lobbies exploiting the memory of the holocaust in order to support Israel how do you explain their success in that inside the United States when that country does not share with Europe the famous guilt complex regarding the Jews? The Jewish and Zionist lobbies in the United States have succeeded basically because they served the interest of the American ruling elite. I don't believe that those lobbies could have succeeded if support of Israel conflicted with American interests. It is important here to remember that the holocaust industry burst out after the June War of 1967 when Israel became a "strategic reserve" for the United States. Before June 1967 there was hardly any mention of the holocaust in American Jewish life, not to mention American life in general. As soon as Israel became a "strategic reserve" for the United States the holocaust established that it was an excellent weapon for silencing criticism directed at Israel. Later, American Jews used the holocaust to silence any criticism directed against them, and they became more conservative in the political sense. Along those lines I would like to ask you, to what extent do the American elites use the Zionist lobbies as an excuse for adopting policies in the Middle East that serve precisely those elites? When Britain issued the Balfour Declaration the official explanation was that they wanted to support the right of a suffering people to self-determination. But the fact is that British internal records show that the British were hoping to use a Jewish state in Palestine entirely to rely on it to protect British interests in the Middle East, especially the Suez Canal and the land route to India.

[CTRL] GNN Interview: Mike Ruppert, former LAPD officer
-Caveat Lector- http://www.guerrillanews.com/crack/m_ruppert.html Mike Ruppert Former LAPD Officer Publisher:From The Wilderness Please introduce yourself. Hi. I'm Mike Ruppert and I'm the publisher of From The Wilderness newsletter and ex-LAPD Narc and general troublemaker for corrupting and evil influence around the world. Tell us about the Website. The Website is www.copvcia.com, and what I want you to do is just think of Roe v. Wade but just make this Cop v. CIA - policeman against the CIA - get it? When you created the newsletter what were you responding to and what were your intentions? Well in March of 98, it was about four months after I confronted CIA Director John Deutch at Lock High School on world television and kind of shamed him and said - he had come to Los Angeles to talk about CIA - allegations about CIA dealing drugs and I stood up on CNN and ABC Nightline and I said, I am a former LAPD narcotics detective. I worked South Central and I can tell you Director Deutch that the Agency has dealt drugs in this country for a long time. And the room exploded and what I saw at that time was there was a crying lack of knowledge in the body politic about how much evidence there really was about the criminal activities of the Central Intelligence Agency about specifically dealing drugs. I said wait a minute - I can pull out a little newsletter and say if you look at this document here's the proof for that. Because a lot of people were running around with the vague notion that maybe CIA was bad guys and they'd done some things wrong and they didnt know how much actual proof there was. So thats been the mission - is to present the real proof thats irrefutable about what goes on. Let's talk about your experience on the beat and what you confronted as a citizen trying to do right in the streets - must be pretty wild as it is. I haven't been a policeman now for a long time. I graduated from the LA Police Academy class of 11/73, hit the streets in January of '74 in South Central Los Angeles. It was a vastly different world then - there was no cocaine and we had six-shooters and strait batons and nobody had a radio that you carried around with you. But the world has changed enormously. I specialized in narcotics quickly and heroin was the predominant drug on the street in my area - it was Mexican brown heroin in those days and what happened to me was that I met and fell in love with a woman who was a contract CIA agent and a career agent Now I come from a CIA family and they had tried to recruit me, so this was not unexpected to me but I began to see that she was protecting drug shipments and that the Agency was actively involved in dealing drugs and this happened with her in Hawaii and Mexico and Texas and New Orleans and I kept saying I'm a narc - I'm not going to overlook drug shipments and thats what basically set me on the irreversible course of events that kind of determined the rest of my life, and that was 1977. What is in a person who - I imagine - now maybe I'm naïve, but you imagine someone in the CIA as thinking about protecting the country or at least the intelligence community as something thats ordered around national security - what do you think it is that triggers them to want to reconcile drug shipments in the country in line with that pursuit? Well they dont even have to reconcile it. Thats what took so long to figure out but thats what we teach now with From The Wilderness - is that it wasnt just CIA dealing some drugs to fund covert operations. It is that drug money is an inherent part of the American economy. It has always been so, as it was with the British in the 1600s when they introduced opium into China to fund the triangular trade with the British East India Company. - phone rings - So describe what you were talking about. The point about the drug trade is not that the CIA dealt a few drugs during the Contra years to fund the covert operation that Congress didn't want it to engage in. The CIA has dealt drugs for all 50 years of its existence - 50 plus years - even before it was the CIA. And the point is that with 250 billion dollars a year in illegal drug money moved - laundered through the American economy - that money benefits Wall Street. Thats the point of having the prohibitive drug trade, which the CIA effectively manages for the benefit of Wall Street. During the Contra war or just before the Contra war, the annual cocaine consumption in this country was about 50 metric tons a year - let's say back in 1979. By 1985, it was 600 metric tons a year. We are still consuming 550 metric tons of cocaine a year in this country and that money thats generated from that is used - let's say Pablo Escobar or some drug dealer in Colombia calls General Motors and buys 1000 Suburbans - GM doesnt ask where it came from. Philip Morris is now being sued by 28 departments (the same thing as States) in Colombia for smuggling 2 billion dollars worth
[CTRL] GNN Interview: Cele Castillo, former DEA agent
-Caveat Lector- http://www.guerrillanews.com/crack/c_castillo.html Cele Castillo Former DEA Agent Author: Powderburns Please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your personal history. My name is Celerino Cele Castillo III and I'm a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent. I was with the Agency for 12 years - most of my time was down in Central and South America with some tours in New York City and the San Francisco area. I took an early retirement in 1992 because of the atrocities that I saw happening down in Central America. I teach now. I teach the other side of law enforcement, as they say, and I also teach Latino studies in South Texas. How did you first become involved with law enforcement, how did your work for the government begin? First of all, I come from a very patriotic family in South Texas. My father was shot six times in the Philippines and we lost an uncle to the war - WWII - and all of our families have been involved. Me being the only son in my family, I was instructed by my father to pay my dues to my country by going to Vietnam and fighting for my country, which I did. And, I come also from a law enforcement family involving my father who used to be a police officer for some time and my sister who used to work for the police department and I also had worked for a police department and as a federal agent for the U.S. government. At what point did you encounter a certain type of corruption in the system and what did you do? First of all, what I encountered when I went to work at the US government - I encountered discrimination - there was a lot of discrimination. In the 1980s, twenty years ago, when we, as Latinos or minorities, went to work for the US government, we thought that everything was on the uppity up - and it wasnt. I found out that every Agency in the federal government has filed class action suits for discrimination against their own agencies. When I got hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration, I was hoping that they would send me somewhere in South Texas, somewhere where there was a Latino community of Mexican Americans and so forth. But they sent me to New York City where, at that time, the 1980s, there were no Mexicans in New York City. I ended up being the first Mexican American in New York City and that's when I first started to see what it was really like to work for the U.S. government. But it backfired on the government because, as they say: if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. And in reality I got the best experience an undercover agent could have gotten in New York City working Organized Crime, working all kinds of major major cases and I did a tour of four years in New York City and I loved it. I got educated into what was known as the opera and the theatre, where if I would have been somewhere in the Southwest, there was no way I would ever learn that. You know reading the New York Times down in Central Park - it was just fabulous for me. I was in culture shock at the very beginning but then you wake up and you get off it and you just go with it I loved it. I really loved New York City. Describe your work in New York and what it involved specifically. My job was to conduct undercover operations. I ended up doing a lot of undercover work as a South American connection with the Italian organized crime families - the Gambino family, Lucese family and so forth. And me and my partner - my partner being an Italian American - we ended up doing the biggest heroin bust in New York City and that was in 1984 when we took down hundreds of kilos of heroin and it was written up all over the world how heroin was still very big in New York City. And because of that I was promoted to go down to South America and actually conduct the search and destroy missions on cocaine labs in South America. And so what did that consist of? That consisted of flying air assault helicopters into clandestine air strips, destroying the airplanes, the cocaine labs and we had an operation called Operation Condor that seized a cocaine lab valued at 500 million dollars, and a large seizure of cocaine. The airstrip was a mile long, they had barracks, they had guard-houses and the lab was producing hundreds of kilos a day of 100% pure cocaine. So when did you realize that there was corruption? I found out when I was on patrol up there in Peru with the anti-narco-terrorist units in Tingo Maria - the Huayaga Valley. We would find the Colombian drug traffickers playing soccer with the Colombian and the Peruvian military. And that was my initial contact with the corruption and we used to see those jets that would come in from Lima, Peru into the Huayaga Valley to pick up narco-dollars for their banks. So if you wanted dollars in Peru you would have to fly down to the Huayaga Valley and pick up US dollars because thats what the Colombians dealt with in the processing of the cocaine in the source countries. And that was one of my

MHO Om K - ---BeginMessage--- -Original Message-From: Catherine Austin Fitts [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Monday, November 26, 2001 1:01 AMSubject: FW: Must readDear All,I thought that you would find this interesting. You may not agree withit, but Arnaud de Borchgrave is well connected. In other words, thisisn't coming out of left field, but from well within the ball park. http://globalfire.tv/nj/e2001/politics/wtc_mossad.htm "The attacks on New York and Washington were an Israeli-engineered attempt at a coup against the government of the United States*" General Hamid Gul General Hameed Gul was director general of the Pakistani Intelligence Services ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and a close ally of America, working hand in hand with the American CIA. Gul was also a great supporter of the "American Way Of Life" and Western democracy. General Gul turned against America for betrayal and countless broken promises. He is, "still today very influential in Pakistan" according to the German daily DIE WELT (Sep. 28, 2001, p. 7). RAWALPINDI, Pakistan -- The retired Pakistani general who is closest to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden contends the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington were the work of renegade U.S. Air Force elements working with the Israelis. Gen. Hameed Gul led Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence during the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Gul serves as an adviser to Pakistan's extremist religious political parties, which oppose their government's decision to support the United States in any action against Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Gul contends bin Laden had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, saying instead that they were the work of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service -- a version of events that has been endorsed by Islamic fundamentalist clerics and is widely accepted by Muslims throughout the Arab world. Here is the transcript of the exclusive interview Gul gave to Arnaud de Borchgrave, United Press International editor at large: *NEWSWEEK WEB EXCLUSIVE, Sep. 14, 2001 Transcript: UPI United Press International, Sep. 26, 2001 interviews General Gul: De Borchgrave: So who did Black Sept. 11? Gul: Mossad and its accomplices. The U.S. spends $40 billion a year on its 11 intelligence agencies. That's $400 billion in 10 years. Yet the Bush Administration says it was taken by surprise. I don't believe it. Within 10 minutes of the second twin tower being hit in the World Trade Center CNN said Osama bin Laden had done it. That was a planned piece of disinformation by the real perpetrators. It created an instant mindset and put public opinion into a trance, which prevented even intelligent people from thinking for themselves. Q: So you're already convinced bin Laden didn't do it? A: I know bin Laden and his associates. I've been with them here, in Europe and the Middle East. They are graduates of the best universities and are highly intelligent with impressive degrees and speak impeccable English. These are people who have rediscovered fundamental Islamic values. Many come from the Gulf countries where ruling royal families have generated hatred by the way they flout divine law, wasting billions on gratifying their whims, jetting around in large private jets by themselves, and sailing the Mediterranean in big private boats for weeks on end. Osama's best recruits come from feudal areas that are U.S. protectorates and where millions of poor people are seeking human dignity. I have even visited a Christian convent school in Murree, 60 miles from here, where my 13-year-old daughter is studying. The young girls there have told me Osama is their hero. Osama's followers identify with Mujahideen freedom fighters wherever they are defending Islam and its values. Q: So what makes you think Osama wasn't behind Sept. 11? A: From a cave inside a mountain or a peasant's hovel? Let's be serious. Osama inspires countless millions by standing up for Islam against American and Israeli imperialism. He doesn't have the means for such a sophisticated operation. Q: Why Mossad? A: Mossad and its American associates are the obvious culprits. Who benefits from the crime? The attacks against the twin towers started at 8:45 a.m. and four flights are diverted from their assigned air space and no air traffic controller sounds the

Israel: Hello Dekkers: Hello Israel: Hi, is this Huffman Aviation? Dekkers: Sorry. I was taking an outside line. Yes this is Huffman Aviation. Israel: You're probably getting 3 million calls, right? Dekkers: No, five million. Israel: Ok, I'm going to keep you on for ten seconds. I just have a very quick question to ask you. Emperors-Clothes, we're a news Website. Do you train people on the actual planes that were used in that horrible thing in NY? Dekkers: No sir. We train small single engine, small multi-engine airplanes. And they are good for four people; that's it. That's not turbine. Total different systems. Not capable to fly anything like that. I have learned yesterday from the media - you are talking to Rudi Dekkers. Israel: Could you spell your name? Dekkers: R-u-d-i D-e-k-k-e-r-s. Israel: And you're talking to Jared Israel at Emperor's Clothes which is at www.tenc.net and is very skeptical about the story because it didn't make sense. Dekkers: No, what happened was after the training they had here they went to another flight school in Popana Beach and they had jet training there, simulator or big planes, but there is where they conducted the training to do what they had to do. Israel: Are you sure of that? Dekkers: Yeah we have heard that from several directions. Israel: But even so, with the training you would get would you trust somebody to get in a plane and fly? Dekkers: No, I fly 20 years in these kind of small planes and I would not do for a million dollars to take over that cockpit. Israel: So it's still questionable, isn't it? Dekkers: Oh, you bet. (Phone rings.) One second...(Off line) Larry, Larry keep on the line I have 30 seconds and then I am with you...(Back on line) 30 seconds. Israel: Yes. You're very helpful. Your point is the more sophisticated training with the other place but that might give you a certificate but would you trust somebody to do the kind of sophisticated thing they did? Dekkers: No they didn't have the certificate to do that. They only had only a multi-commercial license but not for commercial airlines. That is a different license. But these people didn't need a license, so that's another question. Israel: But wouldn't what they did require sophistication? Dekkers: Yeah, they want to that school, I have heard the name, they call it a jet center for simulator training, there is no way - this is not my opinion. My opinion is I don't think it is possible. I have spoken to many captains from the airlines and they say there is no way what the planes did they could have done that. They changed altitude. They changed speed. They changed direction. They had to know about the equipment to do what they had to do and there is no way that could have been done. *** Further Reading: : 1) Rick Rozoff takes a critical look at Washington's response to Tuesday's tragedies in 'Bush's Press Conference: Into the Abyss' at http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/rozoff/abyss.htm 2) While Washington points to Osama bin Laden as suspect # 1 in yesterday's horrific violence, the truth is not being told to the American people: 'Washington Created Osama bin Laden' by Jared Israel can be read at http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/madein.htm 3) If one looks carefully, one can find in the Western media evidence that bin Laden has been involved - on the U.S.-backed side - in Kosovo, Bosnia and now Macedonia.

How could that have happened to a seasoned campaigner who has been in politics for thirty years and had the benefit of expert (and expensive) advice from legal and public relations professionals? Panelists on both network and cable outlet television shows, from across the political spectrum, seem to have arrived at a consensus explanation. First, they postulate (some from alleged inside information), there was a conflict between advice from the lawyers and the PR people and the lawyers prevailed. With this the author can agree. Secondly, they give us two options. Either Condits legal team (headed by lead attorney Abbe Lowell) was grossly incompetent, or Condit ignored their advice and tried to do it his way. This writer rejects both of those choices. Abbe Lowell is regarded among his peers in elite Washington legal circles as one of the premiere attorneys at combining legal strategy with PR spin, one of the reasons he was chosen to defend Bill Clinton at the former presidents Senate impeachment trial. From Condits mechanical and repetitive non-answers to some of Chungs questions, it was obvious he was regurgitating memorized statements from a script. It is reasonable to assume that script was prepared by the legal team, which had advised him not to admit to anything. Following that advice, Condit appeared to be calling a number of people liars including the D.C. police, Mrs. Levy, Chandras aunt, Anne Marie Smith, Joline McKay and Chandra herself. The result may have been a nearly complete destruction of Condits credibility in the publics perception casting doubt on his clear and unequivocal denials of having anything to do with Chandras disappearance. That may have been the exact result Condits legal team desired. In the authors article of August 18th entitled Levy/Condit Amazing Coincidences the following statement was made, This writer does not believe that Condit and his staff requested these lawyers. They were most likely assigned there as a team with a containment strategy to ensure that no mention is made of the CIA/drug and OKC bombing (Timothy McVeigh) subjects in connection with Chandra Levys disappearance. That statement was prompted by the authors belief that Chandras disappearance likely has nothing to do with her affair with the congressman but with dangerous knowledge she acquired on her intern job at the Bureau of Prisons. For this writer, that theory was given added credence with the presence of attorney Beth Wilkinson on the Condit legal team. Wilkinson was involved with the prosecution in both the Noreiga (CIA/drug connection) and Timothy McVeigh (OKC bombing) trials. Her apparent assignment was to keep any reference to government involvement in both subjects out of the public record, at which she was eminently successful. (See the aforementioned article for particulars.) Chandra Levy was no ordinary intern as developed by this writer in a series of articles. (See list of related articles below available on request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) By education, training, temperament and resulting from her duties at the Bureau of Prisons, she was in a position to have gained knowledge on one or both of these subjects that made her dangerous to powerful people resulting in her abduction and presumed death. In this writers opinion, Condits political career was already irretrievable before the Chung interview, which may explain why Condit went along with such an obvious trashing of his credibility. On the other hand, he may have been made an offer he couldnt refuse, either join in the misdirection of public attention or join Chandra. The day after the ABC interview, Democrat support for Condit started to crumble beginning with the statement of the House Minority leader made Friday morning. That was followed by criticism from Democrat Rep. Cooley from Condits neighboring district in California. The minority leader implied that Condit would be removed from his sensitive position on the House Permanent Select House Committee on Intelligence. Expect calls for his resignation from congress to increase from both sides of the aisle. So what is the likely result of the Condit interviews on TV and in magazines? As counter-attacks are mounted by those maligned by Condit in the interviews, his credibility will sink to even lower

As counter-attacks are mounted by those maligned by Condit in the interviews, his credibility will sink to even lower depths. The public will suspect (without any evidence) that he was somehow involved in Chandraâs disappearance. A search for such evidence (which may not exist) will divert the publicâs attention from what this writer believes should be the focus of investigation. That is Chandraâs contacts
[CTRL] An Interview With David McGowan
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.instantmag.com/main6.htm Click Here: A HREF=http://www.instantmag.com/main6.htm;INSTANT Magazine Online/A - Political Entanglements #16 An Interview With David McGowan by Shawn Setaro This issue I speak with David McGowan. David is the author of the great book Derailing Democracy [Common Courage Press, 2000] and the as-yet-unpublished Understanding the F-Word: American Fascism and the Politics of Illusion. He is also a prolific essay writer. The book manuscript and all of his essays are available at his web site, jokingly called the Center for an Informed America (note the acronym), which is located at www.davesweb.cnchost.com. David is a fascinating and comprehensive chronicler of the intelligence services and a vigilant fighter against fascism in all its forms, including its myriad appearances in this country. He lives in Los Angeles, California, where I spoke to him via telephone in the late summer. INSTANT: The first thing I wanted to talk about was that you openly call America a fascist state. Now, I know you spent a book-manuscript-length paper explaining that, but can you perhaps give a capsule version for people who might be surprised to hear that? Also, how did you feel when you first figured that out? DAVE MCGOWAN: How did I feel? Thats a good question. I had a very rough time with it. Ive always considered myself to be well politically informed. Ive always known that the mainstream media was lying to me, but I always assumed that I was getting something fairly close to the straight story from more alternative media sources. It wasnt really until I started getting very in-depth with the research for my book that I began to see how many issues and how much information is not being addressed by any of the venues of the media. ¶ I had a very difficult time with it psychologically. Its like waking up one day and realizing that everything you take to be the truth is a lie. Its like all of sudden black is white and up is down. It was tough. One of the hardest parts was having to acknowledge to myself that many of the people that I had looked up to as mentors and idols watching them drop by the wayside as I realized that there was just so much information that was not getting through, and that it is readily available information that should be getting out there and is not. I went through a very tough period for a year or so, where I just had to acknowledge to myself that a lot of what I had taken all of my life to be the truth was not. Thats the best I can answer that part of the question. ¶ As far as, how did I come to that conclusion as to what America is, like you say, that is covered in the manuscript of my hopefully forthcoming, but as of yet unpublished book. How to summarize that thats a tough one. I dont even know where to begin, really. INSTANT: Well, we can put that aside for a minute. One of the more fascinating ideas youve dealt with is the notion that there are no real political parties in this country and at the upper levels at least, if not further down, its all conscious elite posturing. What makes you think that? DAVE MCGOWAN: Theres a lot of talk lately about that labeling the two parties the Republicrats has become the catchphrase. I think it really goes deeper than that. I dont think its so much that the two parties have kind of merged in the center, which is what were supposed to believe. Both parties have actually gone considerably to the right. ¶ I dont believe that there have been two parties in this country for at least my lifetime, and probably for at least this century. Its all a game; its all a façade. That is, its a show put on for the American people to project the idea that theres a legitimate choice politically, that there are actually competing political ideologies in this country and deep divisions within Congress and in Washington over policy decision. I no longer believe that to be the case. I believe that theres only one agenda thats being pursued, and that all the rest is smoke and mirrors to create the image of this tug-of-war. Were supposed to believe that the U.S. government works as a system of give and take between the liberal and the conservative ideology and that all the policy decisions that are made are ultimately the result of a give and take and political in-fighting between these opposing camps. That explanation doesnt really fly when you start getting seriously into researching these things. Its pretty clear that one single agenda is being pursued, and the two parties consist of a bunch of actors. Its a stage play where theres an unspoken agreement or maybe a spoken agreement, I dont know between the powers that be that some of them are going to pose as the Democrats and some of them are going to pose as the Republicans. INSTANT: What are the key points of the agenda, so far as you can make them out?
Re: [CTRL] mcmartin interview
-Caveat Lector- Dear LIst, Below please find an interview with one of the people involved in mcmartin. Sincerely, Neil Brick this is also at http://members.aol.com/smartnews/Sample-Issue-37.htm McMartin Preschool Story "In 1983, hundreds of kids disclosed to their parents and therapists that they were abused at the prestigious McMartin Preschool in Manhattan Beach, California. Seven people were arrest and charged with hundreds of counts of child sexual abuse, setting off the longest and most expensive trial in U.S. History (7 years)."(http://members.cruzio.com/~ratf/McMartIntro.html) Additional resources on this trial and related issues are located after this article. The following interview was between Neil Brick, editor of SMART and Jackie MacGauley, mother of one of the alleged survivors of abuse at the McMartin Preschool. All accusations are alleged. Do you have any proof and references that the children at McMartin were abused? We were in court for 7 years. Still the longest trial in U.S. history. My daughter and hundreds of people I know deal with the aftermath on a daily basis. Our children's medical reports and the tunnels which corroborated one of the most 'fantastic stories' the children recounted. The tunnels are documented in a formal report now located at a Law University. The most compelling proof was living with my daughter and dealing with all of her revelations and fears. Why were the defendants declared not guilty? The jury very clearly stated that the prosecution did not prove their case. The jurors were convinced that someone did commit the crime. One juror said she would have liked to have heard more from the children. All 7 defendants were held over for trial after the pretrial. Criminal counts were added. Before the trial, when the case was not assigned to a courtroom or judge, District Attorney Ira Reiner decided to drop 5 of the defendants. A memo cited that he did not want any of "These kinds of cases anymore." About 10 other preschools were closed, but there could be no arrests without any possibility of prosecution. It was becoming an embarrassment to his office. I was told by a witness family that one defendant had enough counts and enough evidence to be tried, but Mr. Reiner felt the case would not be successful if he included her. A mother/son situation seemed like a more plausible story. Some child witnesses refused to testify when parents saw how the children were treated on the witness stand by the 7 defense attorneys. Some families were still willing to testify but were never even notified that they were no longer needed. How do you feel about the media and their involvement in the case and after the case? At first I was amazed at the attention we got. This is a small town and it involved only a few local families, I thought at the time. I never really did understand why it mushroomed as it did. I ask experts and they give different explanations. Dr. Underwager was speaking out on behalf of the defendants in Jordan, Minnesota. Janet Reno was D.A. in Miami during the Countrywalk case. She won the case when Illiana Fuster testified against her convicted murderer husband, Frank Fuster. The giant Bakersfield case and others started well before the McMartin case. The media likes to report things that they know will sell their newspapers rather than reality. What happened in court was far from representative of the reality of the crime. Moral of this story, do NOT believe much of what you hear or read in the media. Do you believe there were tunnels at McMartin? What proof can you offer to verify this? You are asking the person who actually did the project. We heavily documented our findings in photographs, scientists' reports and analysis. There were also an abundance of witnesses, including the media. The formal report is housed at a University Law Library at the moment. If you do believe the allegations at McMartin were true, how long do you believe they were going on? What evidence do you have for this? My daughter attended the school for 4 months in (Sept through January when it closed) 1982-1983. The most recent allegations began in August, 1982 when Judy Johnson took her 3 year old son to a doctor who reported it to the authorities. A lot of us parents still talk about what happened. A friend of mine was Mayor during that time. We still console each other over what happened. A lot of us still feel totally disgusted with the whole thing. Compelling (and corroborating) evidence for me and her family and Doctor was a friend who was 44 when she died last October. She was in the second class ever given at the old location, about 1958. Her psychiatrist introduced her to me in 1984. Do you know about anyone writing articles trying to disprove the allegations at McMartin, and why do you feel they would do this? Do you have any evidence for this? Some V.O.C.A.L., False Memory Syndrome type affiliates seem to make it a regular task to discredit our
[CTRL] Interesting Interview W/ Japanese WW2 Naval Officer
http://www.japantoday.com/Commentary/Today/MitsuoOkada.asp Mitsuo Okada: Debunking War Myths Many Asian nations criticize Japanese politicians whenever they visit Yasukuni Jinja, the controversial Shinto shrine in central Tokyo. The shrine honours 2.6 million Japanese soldiers killed in wars over the past century. Tens of thousands people make the pilgrimage to Yasukuni each year, including small, formalised groups that wear old war uniforms as they march through the compound to pay their respects. Former Imperial Navy officer Mitsuo Okada leads one of these groups. Okada, who now runs an imported car sales business in Fukushima, northeast of Tokyo, spoke with Takehiko Nomura about his wartime experience, Japan's Constitution and politics. = Q-What made you start marching in Yasukuni? I used to go to there every year by myself. In the 1980s, I remember seeing groups of people in naval uniforms marching, but they looked weird because they didn't know what Navy officers were supposed to wear on land. They should have had things like army-surplus canteens and haversacks. I heard the emperor [Hirohito] was a person of virtue and fine character, but you can't protect a country with character. Also, I saw one character who looked like a seaman carrying the naval ensign. But that would never happen. Carrying the flag is an honourable thing to do, and is always assigned to a senior officer. Anyone familiar with naval tradition would think those marchers were part of a comedy show. When my old friends invited me to join their marching group in 1990, I donated some gear so that we could at least look the part. I created the current group in 1996. Whenever we march, visitors to the shrine come up to us and say how much we look like naval officers. I have made many new friends as a result. Q-As you know, last week Kajima (a major Japanese building contractor) agreed to establish a $4.6 million fund for relatives of Chinese labourers forced to work at a Japanese mine during World War II. I don't know whether Japan forcibly brought Chinese and Koreans to this country to work or not. But as you know, the Soviet Union violated the non-aggression treaty with Japan, moved into Manchuria and uprooted about 600,000 Japanese [who were officers, soldiers and paramilitary personnel]. Japan is more like a dependent state of the United States. And they took them to places like Siberia, where they became forced labourers. Some of them died there. So if we have to compensate the Chinese, then the Soviets should be made to pay as well. As for comfort women, they say Japan forcibly brought as many women as possible from the Korean Peninsula. I've read some of these women's diaries and find it hard to believe. One woman wrote, "There was no fighting on Sundays." That's ridiculous. There were a lot of blatant lies in those diaries. I think these women are just trying to get money. It's shameless. I say dump [the constitution] down the drain and let's create our own. What about the Japanese women who worked as comfort women? In some cases their parents sold them, while others did it themselves for the money. But you don't hear them bleating about compensation. Q-But there is a lot of evidence and witnesses... I say there were no comfort women as such. When you say comfort women, that means the master of a whorehouse takes his women to places like Nanking to work. There were Japanese, Taiwanese and Koreans. That was their job at that time. Q-Speaking of Japan's Constitution, an increasing number of politicians are advocating constitutional amendment. I'm opposed to any constitutional amendment. The one we have now is MacArthur's constitution. I say dump it down the drain and let's create our own. Q-Do you believe Japan should be in a state of military readiness? Is there any independent country without a military? Japan is more like a dependent state of the United States, spending taxpayers' money on the US military. We should get out of this dependency. Q-Why do you think Japan got into World War II? It was a ridiculous war. We got into it because of the Constitution of the Empire of Japan [promulgated in 1889]. Hirofumi Ito [who became Japan's first prime minister in 1885 and a member of the privy council in 1888] drafted the flawed constitution that gave the emperor enormous power. The Japanese public should directly elect a head of state with broad powers. I believe that he drafted this constitution because he wanted to prevent the shogunate from re-emerging. After the Meiji emperor passed away, more and more problems emerged. As you know the Taisho emperor (his successor) suffered cerebral meningitis. Later, Korekiyo Takahashi [then finance minister] was assassinated (in 1936). These events led to the monumental tragedy of the Pacific War. Q-When we talk about the
[CTRL] RS interview with Nader. Very good.
ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, ISSUE 849=20 September 14, 2000CRASHING THE PARTY Ralph Nader is so fed up with corrupt beltway politics that he is willing to sacrifice Al Gore.By Charles M. Young FROM 1965 TO 1980, RALPH NADER WAS ONE OF the most influential people in the United States. By sheer force of moral argument, he got Congress to pass a vast array of legislation that improved bad cars, bad water, bad air, bad working conditions, bad banks and ... well, you name it. He can take credit for spurring the passage of such landmark laws as the Freedom of Information Act and the Clean Air Act. Since 1980, Nader's career has followed an arc similar to the first half of a Popeye cartoon. Bluto showed up in the form of President Ronald Reagan. His administration refused to enforce laws Nader had inspired and turned the regulatory agencies into tools of industry. During Clinton's tenure, the signing of NAFTA and the U.S. entry into the WTO meant that labor and environmental groups could be slighted in trade negotiations. For twenty years, Washington, D.C., crusted over into a giant Blutocracy. Nader fired shots across the bow of the two-party Titanic by introducing himself as a presidential candidate in 1992 and again in 1996. Reluctant to siphon off enough progressive votes to defeat the Democrats, Nader gave a few good speeches and otherwise didn't do much. Still, the White House watched closely. "Clinton was very concerned with Nader's candidacy" in 1996, says Dick Morris, Clinton's former adviser and pollster. "He kept raising it with me and asking whether I thought it would cost him California. He could not understand how Nader would not draw votes from him. I don't know that he actually tried to knock Nader off the ballot, but he was deeply concerned." This year, Nader is campaigning for real on the Green Party ticket. The Blutocracy has finally dumped one too many loads of toxic waste on his head. "That's all I can stand," was the message when he announced his candidacy in February. "I can't stands no more." Nader's stated goal is to get five percent of the vote, in which case the Greens would get federal matching funds in 2004. With his campaign just gaining momentum, he now rates six to seven percent in the polls, three times as much as Pat Buchanan. He and Buchanan are suing to be allowed into the presidential debates. If they succeed a highly unlikely prospect the entire nation could go into the same sort of political flux that rearranged Minnesota when Jesse Ventura was allowed to debate. A number of ordinarily Democratic celebro-Americans are supporting Nader: Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Eddie Vedder, Susan Sarandon, Paul Newman, Phil Donahue, Jackson Browne. "There's a widespread assumption that candidates in the two major parties can't say what they believe or they won't get elected," says Browne, one of the most active of activists in the musical community. "So the people end up voting on the basis of spin and then hoping that in a few years the candidate might have done something that they assumed he believed in but couldn't actually say. It's time to stop this. Ralph Nader says what he thinks, he can discuss any issue without a scriptwriter, and he's the only candidate talking about government handouts to corporations." RS: How serious are you about running for president this time? N: We're trying to get on the ballot in all fifty states. We're going to show that citizen power can overcome business dollars in election campaigns. RS: Why didn't you run in the Democratic primaries? N: Because the party is not capable of internal reform anymore. It's too far gone into the corporate pits. RS: What are the first five things you would do as president? N: First, I would declare a pro-democracy initiative -- that means public financing of election campaigns, urge the states to have same-day registration, make voting day a holiday and a celebration of the democratic process, develop a binding "none of the above" proposal. People could check "none of the above" on their ballots, and if that wins, there would have to be another election. Second, I would push to remove restrictions that hamper workers from forming trade unions in the private sector. Third, I would press for citizen channels on cable and over the air as a condition of broadcast licensing. The people should have their own television channels and their own radio and television networks, because the people own the airwaves. Four, I would announce tough enforcement of consumer health, safety and economic-justice laws throughout the federal government. Crack down on corporate crime, fraud and abuse. And I'd put all federal contracts and grants above $100,000 on the Internet: the coal leasing, the gold leasing, the oil leasing, the NIH giveaways, the defense contracts. Five, I would press immediately for universal health care. Can I list more than five? RS: Go for it. N: I think that all students should learn citizen skills in how

[CTRL] An Interview with John Lear
Home Page Who is Behind -- The Big Conspirancy of Finance The Invisible Government of the World Protocols of Wise Men of Zion -- The Secret Government An Interview with John Lear http://www.earth-today.com/Lear.htm 25 November 1989 Welcome back. It has been a long absence. L: It sure has. Your absence has the public wondering what happened. L: Well, I was the host for the MUFON Conference in Las Vegas. There were about twelve speakers and we accomplished a lot. There was a lot of information given out. To my absolute surprise and shock I was called into the airline that I worked for, about five days after the conference. I met with senior airline officials and they asked me "You dont really believe all this stuff, do you?" "Well, yes sir I do", I said. "Why?" they asked. I gave them about a ten-minute rundown on my research in the past three years and they said, "We just cant have anybody who believes this stuff flying for our company. What if our passengers found out?". I was summarily terminated. It was a great shock to me. I had many, many years of seniority as a captain with this company. I had to get out and hustle for another job. With my qualifications, I didnt have much trouble finding another one... it was a while before I got my life sorted out. During that time I havent had time to get involved, although I have been keeping abreast of the situation. I take it you were refusing any and all interviews during this period.. L: Yes, I was so busy getting into the new job.. Did you feel like youve been burned by your belief, in so far as you went public and lost your job? L: No. I just felt sorry for these people who have not keep abreast of the events and who really and sincerely believe that nothing is going on. I really felt sorry for them because they were so ignorant. One thing is absolutely clear. Something is going on. I would guess that you would say, "They are Here"... L: Yes. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Since I last talked to you I have seen one. I was taken out to a desert test center by a theoretical physicist who worked directly for the Navy, and he told me, "Were going to flight tonight. Would you like to see it?". I went out into the desert and watched it fly. It was kind of interesting, although it wasnt a shock to me because I knew they were there. I said "So what else is now?" That would be Robert Lazar? L: Yes. We kept his name confidential for the year that we knew what he was doing. He came public here about a week ago on Channel 8s two-week UFO special. You worked closely with Robert Lazar for a period of time. How much of that story can you tell us? L: Most all of it. There are some aspects of it that I cannot discuss to the public. You know what I am taking about. Yes. Is that area called Area 51? L: Well, Let me explain that what is known as the Test Site is an enormous area that borders between Caliente, Tonopah and Las Vegas. The very center of it called Area 51. Its a 10 mile by 10 mile square which is called by various names. Its called Groom Lake, Watertown, The Area, The Spot... all kinds of different names... the Red Square and Dreamland are two more. A lot of secret testing goes on there. The U-2, the SR-71, and Aurora have been tested there. What about the Aurora? L: Well, the Aurora is the follow-on for the SR-71. It cruises at mach 10 and has a ceiling of 285,000 feet. It is a three man aircraft that was built by General Dynamics. It is methane powered and currently operates out of Groom Lake. There are a lot of other secret programs that go on up there. The area called S-4 is where the saucers are flown. Its approximately 10 miles southwest of Groom Lake. This is where they kept the nine extraterrestrial saucers that the government works on under a Navy project. Let me tell you. There are a lot more saucers, but they are kept in various other areas. They are working on these specific disks in order to get some of the technology out of them. The technology is so far advanced that there is very little hope of us using any of it. The other saucers are kept at Wright Patterson AFB, Kirtland AFB, Homestead AFB... there are about five other bases that theyre kept at. The last one that they recovered the one that crashed in the desert in Botswana in May 1989 was taken to Wright Patterson in June and then it was transferred to Kirtland AFB sometime this year. It is now presently at Kirtland. If a reporter wanted really convincing footage of a UFO, is there a place that he could go? L: Yes, they could go to the road to the east of Rachel, Nevada and shoot to the south. Its at sunset that they fly, and theres no problem. The problem is that they expect to get things in 15 minutes. Most of the reporters are young and are just getting into this stuff. They show the same films on television that they have been showing

[CTRL] Icke interview, Pt. 6
-Caveat Lector- Ashley Rye wrote: - IUFO Mailing List And individualism, while they talk about the necessity for it, the desire for it, is constantly crushed by the belief system of the group. It's interesting, you know, when I talk about this in my talks, everywhere I go in the world I get applause from the audience. Because I think people are starting to get sick of the New-Age movement, which is actually so often diverting us from and suppressing us from the real truth of metaphysics. And the real truth is that WE, as individuals, are in control of our destiny, and not external forces being in control. And so, I think it's very important, in the years that we are in now, that we start to take our individual sovereignty back and start to realize that we have the right to decide our truth and live our truth, and not have another truth imposed upon us, whether it's the New-Age movement, Christianity, Hinduism, Atheism, or whatever it is, because the whole basis of the control is getting individuality subordinated to the group, getting individuality suppressed by the majority, suppressed by the herd mentality. There are two ways of solving the problem. We can find the solution to it, which is actually not the best way, because for me the best way of solving a problem is removing the cause of it and then it goes away. The cause of the few controlling the planet is people giving their power away and not thinking for themselves and just following the one in front without question. And, insisting-and this is the key thing, stage two-insisting that others do the same, because once that happens, you create a situation in which whoever sets the norms in the world, whether considered sane or insane, possible or impossible, moral or immoral, whoever sets those norms runs the world. This happens because of the overwhelming, vast majority of humanity who have given their power away and given their thinking processes and individuality away, and will live their lives in accordance with those dictated norms because they're not thinking or questioning them. Now, that's fine, that's a choice-I don't have a problem with that. The key thing, as I say, the people who succumb to those norms, they insist that those who don't want to do so should also succumb to those norms. And, at that point, when you have the herd policing itself, and making life unpleasant for those who wish to detach from it, at that point you have the basis, and only at that point, you have the basis on which the few who set the norms can run the world, because you get humanity becoming not just the sheep, but also the sheep-dog, not just the prisoner, but also the prison guards. And only in that way, through thousands of years to the present minute, has it been possible for a few to control the world. So, for me, three things would change this and would dramatically transform the world we live in for the better, because of all that would come from this. Those are: One: as individuals, we step out of the fear of what other people think of us because that is the prison that most people live in. And once you're in the fear of what someone else thinks, you are not living YOUR life in YOUR truth; you are living someone else's version of what they think you should be. In other words, you're in the herd now. If we step out of the fear of what other people think, as individuals, and say, to use the title of one of my books, I Am Me, I Am Free, and if you don't like it, that's fine-you have a right not to like it-but this is me! At that point we cease to be a sheep. And if enough of us do it, we cease to be a herd of sheep. Second: we allow everyone else to express their uniqueness, even though it differs from ours. You know, "What a crime; call the police; my goodness me, this person thinks different than me!" Once we do that, we cease to be a sheep dog for the rest of the herd. Just those two things alone, and this whole edifice of imposed power starts to crumble because the very basis of it is crumbling. And third: the balance point, no one seeks to impose what they believe on anyone else, so all are respecting everyone's free will, so that my belief is not imposed on anyone else. That's the reason why whatever anyone says about me or says about what I write or

Bowart July 16, 1995 San Jose, California Part III Conclusion And crackpot Nazi experimentation at that. WR: We might add at that time nobody knew where Mengele' whereabouts were. He was supposedly running all over from South America to Central Southwest to Arizona, he was in Arizona in me 60's. WB: Yes. In 1965, the CIA paid Baltimore Laboratories $15,000 to find a drug which could be used to fake a means of suicide. They came up with several they thought might work with a careless pathologist. Now one wonders...I'd like to see the files on that. It would be hilarious, you know. Corpses)reviving in the morgue and stuff. The same year the CIA spent seven hundred thousand dollars on research with terminal cancer patients. That was '65. And mental defectives at Georgetown University. The unsuspecting patients were given a combination of stimulants, depressants and stress inducing drugs in a failed attempt to replicate the psychic driving techniques developed earlier by Cameron in Canada. WR: ln the near future, theres going to be a footnote to that information. Theres a gentleman who's going to be coming out with a book on the subject of Dr. Mary Sherman, working out of Tulane University and her strange connection with David Ferry. .. WB: Oh, Oh! WR: ...and cancer experiments that were being performed in New Orleans. MC: And we've been following...and in fact we've been waiting with baited breath for this gentleman to finish the book and get it published so we can interview him, so we could read to book. We're very excited about it. And there's far more to it. WB: Well I hope he puts me on the review list WR: The gentleman's name is Ed Haslam and I believe he's not too far from where you are located. MC: We will do that. We will put you in touch. WR: We will get that information to you when we get home. WB: That would be great In '65, do you want me to continue? In '65... WR: Yes! Sorry, I just wanted to interject that because you said cancer... WB: Yeah, Colonel George White former Bureau of Narcotics agent, famous George White repeated a 1953 field experiment with adjoining apartments on 'Telegraph Hill m San Francisco. 'The project was code-named Midnight Climax. White filmed the CIA paid prostitutes giving their johns LSD from behind a one-way mirror. It was believed that LSD effects on sexuality would show up on the film. White was also active in New York City giving powerful psychoactive chemicals like ivolgain and undocumented drugs in unmeasured quantities to selective leaders of the anti-war movement and other targeted political and civil rights activists. In 1966 Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California. Operation Spellbinder was a CIA research project which attempted to hypnotize an agent into becoming a sleeper killer. The FOIA released documents saying that several Cuban immigrants were found upon which hypnosis was tried. The goal was to plant an agent in Cuba w-ho, when triggered, would kill Fidel Castro. The CIA documents say this didn't work and independent research turned up first person witnesses that classically conditioned MPD, Multiple Personality Disorder, agents were at work within Cuba from Castro's rise to power in the late 1950's. In 1966 in October, possession of LSD was declared a Class One felony, stopping all research on it. The psychedelic 60's were over and the war on drugs began. 'The cryptocracy black ops. funds grew fat. ln 1967 DARPA, that's the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, was called Project Pandora got under way with Dr. Joseph Sharpe who is presently in NASA-Ames Laboratory today. Pandora concluded in 1969 stating that nothing would he clear without experiments on human subjects in their natural settings. Nixon approved- "basic research" on voluntary human subjects. In 1968 at the peak of the student unrest Dr. Gordon J.F. McDonald, Science Advisor to Lyndon B. Johnson described how man-made changes in the earth's ionosphere could be used for mass behavior control. He pointed out that low frequency electromagnetic operations could be used to attack the brain-waves of human beings. He stated, " perturbation of the environment can produce changes in behavioral patterns". MC: Now I want to interject here, is this information recently unclassified'? Was it available in print at the time, was it, you know...I'm trying to find out this was.. WB: In '68? No. MC: So this was secret in '68? WB: Yes. MC: About what time was much of this information declassified. WB: Oh in the late '70's. MC: In the late '70's.. WB: Right. MC: And very few people ever saw this declassified information. WB: Oh yeah, most of it. MC: See , this is important because people think oh well that's ancient history and everybody knew about it. ho!

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.redshift.com/~damason/lhreport/articles/bowart.html A HREF="http://www.redshift.com/~damason/lhreport/articles/bowart.html"Walter Bowart Interview/A - Interview with Walter H. Bowart July 16, 1995 San Jose, California Interview participants: Marilyn Colman: MC Will Robinson: WR Walter Bowart: WB WR: Here on the Lighthouse Report it is our pleasure to have before us a person whom we've interviewed many times on phone, Walter Boward. Walter, how are you doing today? WB: Well, I'm doing great and it is my pleasure to be here in person with you. WR: I think the first place to start is regarding the talk that you gave just last night, or I should say, Saturday night when this program is airedwhy don't we get to the areas that you said that you didn't get to cover but would like to touch on, on the subject of mind control and manipulation. WB: Well, of course the new areas of research...it's flooding in all the time and that's...that's been called, what, the "cordless mind control area" if you will, some kind of broadcasting of technology that puts a human voice inside of.. human voice in teams, twenty-four hours a day, inside of a person's mind. Now we want to try to come... we are working on...Freedom of Thought Foundation is building a network and we're working with scientists to try and come up with ways to discern between people that are paranoid-schizophrenics. Because traditionally, if you had a voice inside your head you're diagnosed as paranoid-schizophrenic. And that was it. But we found a lot of these people that are hearing these voices are not paranoid-schizophrenic and function otherwise normally. They just hear these voices. MC: And I think it's important to realize that not everything continues to be the same truth. Part of the problem we have with today's medical associations is they are not able to look at what's really happening and I think, Walter, it is important that you are one of me...in the vanguard of opening up the new technology. WB: Yeah, well, this is what we are learning, in our experience, is that the therapist and social workers down in the lowest level have the best handle because they really treat people hands-on. The next level that knows about it are the psychologists and the ones that know the least about all of this mind-control stuff are the psychiatrists. They are twenty years behind time. I mean, the idea of Freudian analysis is still going on and it is pathetic to think that people will pay lots of money-what is it? hundreds of dollars an hour... MC: ... and many, many years. About ten years... WB: ...and all talking about your problems does is reinforce your problem. WR: In other words, what you are saying is they're more like the New York Dental Association. WB: Yeah-it's like a closed shop and they're twenty years behind the time. They are working with outdated technology and ideas. MC: And that's right, because the New ,Age medicine adopted the work of the shaman and of the occult and of the spiritual side of man and we are now seeing that these two things, both the mechanical aspect of mind and body and the spiritual side, have to come together to heal the whole person. WB: We have a False Memory "Spindrome" Foundation. I call it "spindrome" because it's not a syndrome what they describe a~ false memories. And the concept of this group is that memories can be implanted in your mind. False memories, untrue things. You will remember untrue things. Now, this is not established very well in law and there is a plus side to this because, in fact, false memories can be implanted. And also, people are inept at hypnosis and various other things so that they will pollute others unintentionally with false memories and things like that. However, the board of this organization is made up of a lot of CIA people, CIA contracts, "spychiatrists", and pedophiles, child molesters, people that are on the side of pedophilia. They are trying to defend pedophilia. And it is a very litigious, very aggresive organization that has struck terror in the hearts of the psychiatric, psychological and therapeutic community. MC: Now how can we relate this to the two things like the Prince and the McMartin Cases? WB: The McMartin case, I don't know exactly how it relates but... MC: Well, if the children, they claim that the children's memories of being molested were implanted by the therapists working with them. WB: Yeah, that's what they claim, but I don't think that had any bearing on the case and the outcome. I think that the withholding of evidence had more to do, and what evidence was found later that the children said was true of the tunnels and whatnot, that was discovered later, so I think the case fell because of bad... MC: But you know that the folks that espoused this were using this as ammunition against you. WR: Yeah, Yeah because the bottom line is you have a verdict turned back that they were acquitted. And they were
[CTRL] Fw: Interview with Noam Chomsky
-Caveat Lector- Some interesting info in this Chomsky interview, but the world's leading "fake anarchist" gives himself away...can't even commit to legalizing drugs! Lloyd Miller http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html -Original Message- From: Psyberdude [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, June 03, 1999 10:51 PM Subject: Interview with Noam Chomsky - http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3761/drugs.html The War on Drugs The Drug War Industrial Complex High Times Interview with Noam Chomsky, April 1998 by John Veit transcribed by Paul Freedom HT: You've defined the War on Drugs as an instrument of population control. How does it accomplish that? CHOMSKY: Population control is actually a term I borrowed from the counterinsurgency literature of the Kennedy years. The main targets at the time were Southeast Asia and Latin America, where there was an awful lot of popular ferment. They recognized that the population was supporting popular forces that were calling for all kinds of social change that the United States simply could not tolerate. And you could control people in a number of ways. One way was just by terror and violence, napalm bombing and so on, but they also worked on developing other kinds of population-control measures to keep people subjugated, ranging from propaganda to concentration camps. Propaganda is much more effective when it is combined with terror. You have the same problem domestically, where the public is constantly getting out of control. You have to carry out measures to insure that they remain passive and apathetic and obedient, and don't interfere with privilege or power. It's a major theme of modern democracy. As the mechanisms of democracy expand, like enfranchisement and growth, the need to control people by other means increases. So the growth of corporate propaganda in the United States more or less parallels the growth of democracy, for quite straightforward reasons. It's not any kind of secret. It is discussed very frankly and openly in business literature and academic social-science journals. You have to "fight the everlasting battle for the minds of men," in their standard phraseology, to indoctrinate and regiment them in the way that armies regiment their bodies. Those are population control measures. This engineering or manufacture of consent is the essence of democracy, because you have to insure that ignorant and meddlesome outsiders -- meaning we, the people -- don't interfere with the work of the serious people who run public affairs in the interests of the privileged. HT: How does the War on Drugs fit into this? CHOMSKY: Well, one of the traditional and obvious ways of controlling people in every society, whether it's a military dictatorship or a democracy, is to frighten them. If people are frightened, they'll be willing cede authority to their superiors who will protect them: "OK, I'll let you run my life in order to protect me," that sort of reasoning. So the fear of drugs and the fear of crime is very much stimulated by state and business propaganda. The National Justice Commission repeatedly points out that crime in the United States, while sort of high, is not off the spectrum for industrialized societies. On the other hand, fear of crime is far beyond other societies, and mostly stimulated by various propaganda. The Drug War is an effort to stimulate fear of dangerous people from who we have to protect ourselves. It is also, a direct form of control of what are called "dangerous classes," those superfluous people who don't really have a function contributing to profit-making and wealth. They have to be somehow taken care of. HT: In some other countries you just hang the rabble. CHOMSKY: Yes, but in the U.S. you don't kill them, you put them in jail. The economic policies of the 1980's sharply increased inequality, concentrating such economic growth as there was, which was not enormous, in very few hands. The top few percent of the population got extremely wealthy as profits went through the roof, and meanwhile median-income wages were stagnating or declining sharply since the '70's. You're getting a large mass of people who are insecure, suffering from difficulty to misery, or something in between. A lot of them are basically going to be arrested, because you have to control them. HT: It's absolutely true, but how do you prove it? CHOMSKY: Just by looking at the trend lines for marijuana. Marijuana use was peaking in the late '70's, but there was not much criminalization. You didn't go to jail for having marijuana then because the people using it were nice folks like us, the children of the rich. You don't throw them into jail any more than you throw corporate executives into jail -- even though corporate crime is more costly and dangerous than street crime. But then in the '80's the use of various "unhealthy" substances started to decline among more educated sectors: marijuana and

Publish the List. 2. Say SIS / MI6 murdered Di. 3. Make ANY SERIOUS allegations against MI6. 4. He refused to answer any questions re. UNSCOM and Iraq, inferring he knows much more. He DID admit to 1. Threatening to post a list of MI6 Officers by a certain date, which subsequently went by without him posting. 2. Admit the threat was not serious but an attempt to get HMG to negotiate ,with his brief, a way through his present difficulties with HMG. 3. He DID have knowledge of a plan to get Mr M of Yugoslavia. The document which he says will still be extant and listed in SIS archives sketched out 3 general ways to achieve Slobbo's demise. 1. By use of in local assassins drawn from opposition groups in Yugoslavia. 2. By infiltrating an SAS team into Yugoslavia to get the job done. 3. By staging a fatal car accident in a neutral country. Sleep well Slobbo! I doubt it but just maybe someone will have the bottle to task the lads from Hereford with the job (option 2)! Tomlinson's allegations re. our late "Queen of Hearts" were restricted to saying that the chauffeur was an SIS source with a large bank balance. How this can be interpreted as sinister I am a little unclear. Surely SIS here; were doing abroad what MI5 is supposed to do here at home! Tomlinson's angle seems to be that as MI6 will have a detailed file on the days leading up to the crash they should present it to the French examining judge. He had nothing to say about murder plots, sinister SIS motorcyclists etc. His other topic during the interview was criticism of the stress and danger free lifestyles of most or all SIS officers he knew. They lived in safe cities like New York, Paris, Geneva etc. usually attached to the embassy and on 10% more salary than the diplomats whose cover they use (and whose immunity they share!) He said they fooled the world and Whitehall with over-emphasis on secrecy and covert sources and what le'Carre calls "tradecraft" to mystify and embellish what is largely the work of a government paid journalist and the whole thing is to keep them secure in their comfortable lifestyles! - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.

Interviewer: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?" LTG Reinwald: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the range." Interviewer: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?" LTG Reinwald: "I don't see how, we will be teaching them proper range discipline before they even touch a firearm." Interviewer: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."

[CTRL] An Interview with Gary Aldrich
-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.8/pageone.html A HREF="http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.8/pageone.html"Laissez Faire City Times - Volume 3 Issue 8/A The Laissez Faire City Times February 22, 1999 - Volume 3, Issue 8 Editor Chief: Emile Zola - An Interview with Gary Aldrich by Wesley Phelan In 1996, shortly after the publication of Unlimited Access, Gary Aldrich appeared on "This Week" with David Brinkley. The panelists derided Aldrichs claims that security had broken down in the Clinton White House. After the show, ABC and other networks canceled their remaining interviews with Aldrich. Elizabeth Vargas rounded out the media attack, stating on "Good Morning America" that Aldrich was under fire for "what appears to be sloppy reporting." [1] George Stephanopoulos, a senior adviser to the President, had attempted before the program to convince ABC to cancel its invitation to Aldrich. He accused Aldrich of being a "tool" in a right-wing plot "to destroy" the President. He said that Bob Dole, Clintons opponent in the 1996 presidential election, had "a responsibility to repudiate him or he is complicit in this campaign of character assassination". Aldrichs claims, according to Stephanopoulos, were "vicious", "totally preposterous", "absurd" and "outrageous". [2] Now, two-and-a-half years later, any reasonably informed person knows who is guilty of "sloppy reporting" and who is "vicious", "totally preposterous", "absurd", and "outrageous". On January 12 of this year Ms. Vargas interviewed Larry Flynt on "Good Morning America." She allowed him to air charges against Congressman Bob Barr, pausing only momentarily to note that it "might be a stretch" to imagine that Flynt was a White House tool. [3] Stephanopoulos, for his part, has been sanctioned by a federal judge for not telling the truth in a deposition to Judicial Watch. [4] Vindication is sweet. On February 16, one day after Linda Tripp corroborated his allegations on a nationwide broadcast of Larry King Live, Aldrich spoke to a packed house at Eureka College, Ronald Reagans alma mater. Before his presentation, Aldrich granted the following exclusive interview to The Laissez Faire City Times. In your book you say that William Kennedy was in charge of dismantling the White House security system. What made you believe that? Aldrich: Well, that was the conclusion we drew after the many times we brought significant problems with security to him, and each time he found a reason not to do anything about them. By we I mean the FBI, the Secret Service and permanent staff members who had an interest in security. The next question would be why he did this. The answer is the administration wanted the security system dismantled because otherwise their friends and associates, and the people they were choosing to work for them, would not have been able to gain access to the White House. One of the most under-reported aspects of your book concerns breaches of national security that took place in the White House. Do you have any information that White House employees took classified materials from the White House? Aldrich: No, I dont. If I did, I would feel obligated to see to it that those documents were promptly returned, and I would not rest until that happened. That is not to say that White House employees did not compromise national security on a daily basis. They did, and they probably still do. One way they did that is by allowing access to people who would never qualify for clearance under any reasonable security system. They also used ordinary analog cell phones to have conversations with outsiders, both from the White House and from Air Force One. These conversations were not on scrambled phones, and the conversations touched on classified information. There are secure phones available for that very purpose. Even the President had conversations over ordinary phones with Monica Lewinsky, and he talked with Dick Morris about serious national security issues. Personnel also left documents on desktops in unlocked offices, with no regard for the security of that material. What is the likelihood that some foreign intelligence agency either attempted to or successfully recorded those conversations? Aldrich: High or higher. It is virtually certain that hostile intelligence agencies recorded all the insecure conversations. In Washington D.C. there is a nonstop attempt to grab and analyze all calls that are not made from scrambled telephones. Everybody in town knows this. You state in your book that Vince Foster did not want the Secret Service to have access to his FBI background check. How do you know that? Aldrich: It was the pattern of conduct on the part of Foster and others. Foster had some conversations with staff members, which have been reported to the oversight committees, in which he indicated that. He asked me questions about the distribution of
