"We'll know our disinformation program is
complete when everything the American public believes is false."
William Joseph Casey, CIA
Director
1984 William Joseph Casey, CIA
director and one of Capital Cities "founders, long-time counsel, board member
and largest stock holders," puts pressure on
ABC and all
major America news organizations to be more supportive of
Ronald Reagan's radical
right-wing privatization agenda.
William Joseph Casey asks the
FCC to revoke all of the
television and radio licenses of
ABC in retaliation for the
network's airing of an ABC News report suggesting that the CIA had attempted to
assassinate an American citizen.
Four months later, Capital Cities buys
ABC for $19.2 billion.
At
the time William Casey owns 34,000 shares of Capital Cities stock worth about
$7 million.
Melvin Goodman, a top Soviet analyst at the agency, reports
that the "Evil Empire" is undergoing a severe economic and military decline.
Melvin Goodman
is pressured to revise his findings as William Casey wants to portray a Soviet
Union "10 feet tall" to justify bigger military budgets.
Secretary
of State, George Shultz, put
it more delicately in his memoirs:
Reports under the direction of
William Casey were "distorted by strong views about policy."
Antonio
Mendez, a retired member of the CIA Office of Technical Services(OTS),
wrote an article in the
winter 1999/2000 issue of the CIA journal Studies in Intelligence,
where he documents his involvement in the rescuing of six Americans trapped in
Iran during the 1979-1981 hostage
crisis.
Antonio Mendez and other operatives posed as a Canadian film
crew scouting locations near Tehran.
Although posing as Canadians, the
establishment of their false identities was done with
the complete coöperation
of Talmudwood, including the use of Columbia Studios for their "production
offices" and, as part of their disguise team, an award winning makeup artist
given the pseudonym of "Jerome Calloway", who was recently awarded the
Intelligence Medal of Merit.
In Antonio Mendez twenty page
article there is no mention of the uniqueness of Talmudwood - Central
Intelligence Agency collusion.
In
fact he mentions that his relationship with "Jerome" at the time was already
ten years in the making.
Upon a search of the webpage for the trade
paper Variety, the name Tony Mendez came up as a technical advisor for
the CBS drama, The
Agency.
1999 CIA holds a lavish gala film
premier for In the Company of Spies, the first spy thriller ever to bear
the CIA stamp of approval even allowing the director to shoot inside the CIA's
Langley headquarters and provided 60 off duty employees to serve as
extras.
"Senior CIA officials realized several years back that assisting
sympathetic film makers and authors was one way the CIA could be more open and
accountable to the tax paying public without divulging operational
secrets.
They even persuaded Chase Brandon, a veteran paramilitary
officer who has jumped out of aeroplanes for the CIA all over the world, to
take a job in the public affairs office as the CIA liaison to
Talmudwood in 1996." -
Bill Harlow, the CIA director of public affairs
This has proven most
effective, with scriptwriters even rewriting history to present an upbeat
portrait of the agency.
2001 Three new
television series The Agency, Alias, and 24 and seven
films including Bad Company, The Bourne Identity, and The Sum
of All Fears were made with the CIA approval.
Corporations are owned and operated by the CIA.
Air America is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of the
CIA.
"Allen W. Dulles, the director of the CIA, approved $1 million
on April 4 to be used "in any way that would bring about the fall of
Mossadegh". The chief of the CIA Near East and Africa division, Kermit
Roosevelt, a grandson of Theodore Roosevelt, arrived in Tehran to direct
Operation Ajax. The house of at least one prominent Muslim leader was bombed by
CIA agents posing as Communists." - James
Risen
US Foreign Policy Towards Iran
"A permanent leadership is needed in the
form of a new Cabinet department that can knock together heads to
force integrated influence
activities - a Ministry of Propaganda."-
Walter Jajko, retired brigadier general Air Force, Institute of World
Politics, November 2005
corporate subdivisions
"Psychological and
paramilitary, known as PP or KUCAGE, operations differ from those of PI or CI
because they are action rather than collection activities.
Collection
operations should be invisible so that the target will be unaware of them.
Action operations, on the other
hand, always produce a visible effect.
PP operations are, of course,
risky because they nearly always mean intervention in the affairs of another
country with whom the US enjoys normal diplomatic relations.
If true
sponsorship were found out
diplomatic
consequences could be serious.
This is in contrast to collection
operations, for if these are discovered foreign politicians are often prepared
to turn a blind eye - they are
a traditional part of every nation's intelligence activity.
Thus the
cardinal rule in planning all PP operations is 'plausible denial', only
possible if care has been taken in the first place to ensure that someone other
than the US government can be made to take the blame.
PP programs are
to be found in almost every CIA station and emphasis on the kinds of PP
operations will depend very much on local conditions.
Psychological
warfare includes propaganda (also known simply as 'media'), work in youth and
student organizations, work in labor organizations (trade unions, etc.), work
in professional and cultural groups and in political parties.
Paramilitary operations include infiltration into denied areas,
sabotage,
economic warfare, personal
harassment, air and maritime support,
weaponry, training and
support for small armies.
The vehicles for grey and
black propaganda may be unaware of their CIA or US government sponsorship.
This is partly so that it can be more effective and partly to keep down
the number of people who know what is going on and thus to reduce
the danger of exposing
true sponsorship.
Editorialists,
politicians, businessmen and others may produce propaganda without necessarily
knowing who their masters are.
Some among them obviously will and
so, in agency terminology, there is a distinction between 'witting' and
'unwitting' agents.
In propaganda
operations, as in all other PP activities, standard agency security procedure
forbids payment for services rendered to be made by a
CIA officer working under
official cover (one posing as an official of the
State Department,
for instance).
This is in order to maintain 'plausible denial' and to
minimize the danger of embarrassment to the local embassy if anything is
discovered by the local government.
Officers working under non-official
cover may also handle most of the contacts with the recruited agents in order
to keep the officer under official cover as protected as possible.
Equally, meetings between the two kinds of officer will be
secret.
The object of all this is to protect the embassy and sometimes
to make the propaganda agents believe that they are being paid by private
businesses.
Problems of communist influence in one country can be made
to appear of international concern in others under the rubric of 'a threat to
one is a threat to all'.
For example, the CIA station in Caracas can
cable information on a secret communist plot in Venezuela to the Bogota station
which can 'surface' through a local propaganda agent with attribution to an
unidentified Venezuelan government official.
The information can then
be picked up from the Colombian press and relayed to CTA stations in Quito,
Lima, La Paz, Santiago and Brazil.
A few days later editorials begin to
appear in the newspapers of these places and pressure mounts on the Venezuelan
government to take repressive action against communists.
There are
obviously hosts of other uses to which propaganda, both black and grey, can be
put, using books,
magazines,
radio,
television,
wall-painting, handbills, decals,
religious sermons and
political speeches as
well as the daily press.
In countries where
handbills or wall-painting are important media, stations are expected to
maintain clandestine printing and distribution facilities as well as teams of
agents who paint slogans on walls.
In order to obtain political
intelligence as well as to develop relationships with potential
political-action agents, most stations have continuing programs for cultivating
local politicians from opposition as well as from government
parties.
Making acquaintances in local politics is not usually difficult
because CTA officers under diplomatic cover in embassies have natural access to
their targets through cocktail parties, receptions, clubs and other mechanisms
that bring them together with people of interest.
Regular State
Department Foreign Service Officers and Ambassadors as well may also facilitate
the expansion of station political contacts through arranging introductions.
When a local political contact is assessed favorably for station goals,
security clearance and operational approval is obtained from headquarters, and
the station officer in contact with the target begins to provide financial
support for political campaigns or for the promotion of the target's political
group or party.
The target will use some of the money for personal
expenses thereby developing a
dependency on the station as a source of income.
Eventually, if all
goes well, the local politician will report confidential information on his own
party and on his government, if he has a government post, and he will respond
to reasonable station direction regarding the communist question.
As
final arbiters of political conflicts in so many countries, military leaders
are major targets for
recruitment.
They are contacted by station officers in a variety of
ways, sometimes simply through straightforward introduction by US military
attaches or the personnel of US Military Assistance Missions.
Sometimes
the liaison developed between the Agency and local intelligence services can be
used for making these contacts.
Again CTA officers can make contact
with those military officers of other countries who come to the US for
training.
As in the case of politicians, most Agency stations have a
continual program for the development of local military leaders, both for the
collection of intelligence and for possible use in political action.
Politicians working for the Agency are expected to take an active part
in working for expulsion of 'undesirables'.
Where the Soviet Union tries to extend
its diplomatic or commercial activities, politicians are expected to use
influence to oppose such moves.
They are also expected to take a
hard line against their own nationals engaged in left-wing or communist
activities.
In the last of these instances success means the
proscription of the parties, the arrest or exile of their leaders, the closure
of their offices, publications and bookstores, the prohibition of their
demonstrators, etc.
Such large-scale programs call for action both by
anticommunist movements and by national governments - where possible the Agency
likes to use the same political action agents for both purposes.
It is
not just a matter of financing and guiding local politicians.
In situations regarded as dangerous to the US,
the Agency will conduct national election operations though the medium of an
entire political party.
It will finance candidates who are both
'witting' and 'unwitting'.
Such multi-million-dollar operations may
begin a year or more before an election is due and will include massive
propaganda and public-relations campaigns, the building of numerous front
organizations and funding mechanisms (often resident US businessmen), regular
polls of voters, the formation of 'goon-squads' to intimidate the opposition,
and the staging of provocations and the circulation of rumors designed to
discredit undesirable candidates.
Funds are also available for
buying votes and vote counters as well.
If a situation can be more
effectively retrieved for US interests by unconstitutional methods or by coup
d'etat, that too may be attempted.
Although the Agency usually plays the
anti-communist card in order to foster a coup, gold bars and sacks of currency
are often equally effective.
In some cases a timely bombing by a
station agent, followed by mass demonstrations and finally by intervention by
military leaders in the name of the restoration of order and national unity, is
a useful course.
Agency political operations were largely responsible
for coups after this pattern
in Iran in 1953 and in the Sudan in 1958.
An infiltration team may
perform sabotage through the placing of incendiary devices or explosives at a
target-site timed to go off days, weeks or even months
later.
Sabotage weapons include
oil and
gasoline contaminates for
stopping vehicles, contaminates for jamming printing-presses, limpets for
sinking ships, explosive and incendiary compounds that can be molded and
painted to look like bread,
lamps, dolls or stones.
The
sabotage instructors, or 'burn and blow boys', have staged impressive
demonstrations of their capabilities, some of which are ingeniously designed so
as to leave little trace of a cause.
The Economic Warfare Section of
the PP staff is a sub-section under Paramilitary Operations because its
mission
includes the sabotage of
key economic activities in a target country and the denial of critical
imports.
Contamination of an export agricultural product or associated
material (such as sacks destined for the export of Cuban sugar), or fouling the
bearings of tractors, trucks or buses destined for a target country may be
undertaken if other efforts to impede undesired trade fail.
As Economic
Warfare is undertaken in order to aggravate economic conditions in a target
country, these operations include in addition to sabotage, the use of
propaganda, labour, youth, student and other mass organizations under CIA
control to restrict trade by a friendly country of items needed in the target
economy US companies can also be called upon to restrict supply of selected
products voluntarily, but local station political-action assets are usually
more effective for this purpose.
Although the Air and Maritime
Support section of the staff supervises
standing Agency operations to
supply insurgents (Air America and Civil Air Transport in the Far East, for
example) additional resources such as aircraft can be obtained from the DoD.
These operations include:
Guatemalan
invasion in 1954;
Tibetan résistance against the Chinese in
1958;
rebellion against the
Soekarno government in Indonesia in 1957;
training and support of
irregular forces in South
Vietnam and Laos;
increasing sabotage and paramilitary operations against the Castro's
Cuba.
Leaflet drops as part of the propaganda aspect of paramilitary
operations are also arranged through the Air and Maritime Support
section.
Closely related to paramilitary operations are the disruptive
activities.
Through organization and support of 'goon squads' composed
of off-duty policemen or militant sections of friendly political parties,
stations attempt to intimidate leftists by breaking up their meetings and
demonstrations.
The Technical Services staff of the DDP makes a variety
of weapons and devices for these purposes.
Horrible smelling liquids in
small glass vials hurled into meeting halls.
A fine clear powder can be sprinkled in a meeting-place becoming
invisible after settling but having the effect of tear-gas when stirred up by
the later movement of people.
An incendiary powder can be moulded
around prepared tablets and when ignited the combination produces ample
quantities of smoke that attacks the eyes and
respiratory system much more strongly than ordinary tear-gas.
A
tasteless substance can be introduced to food.
A few small drops of a clear liquid
stimulates relaxed, uninhibited talk.
Invisible itching powder can
be placed on steering wheels or toilet seats, and a slight smear of invisible
ointment causes a serious burn to skin on contact.
Chemicals can be added to tobacco
to producing respiratory ailments.
When cover foundations or
companies are used for funding they may be chartered in the US or in countries
such as Lichtenstein, the Bahamas and
Panama, where commercial secrecy is
protected and governmental controls are minimal.
Secret CIA operations
constitute the usually unseen efforts to shore up unjust, unpopular, minority
governments, always with the hope that overt military intervention (as in
Vietnam and the Dominican Republic) will not be necessary.
The more
successful CIA operations are, the more remote overt intervention becomes - the
more remote become reforms." -
Philip
Burnett Franklin Agee
"I was assigned a managerial
position in the covert Angola program.
Under the leadership of the CIA
director we lied to Congress and to the 40 Committee, which supervised the
Angola program.
We entered into joint
activities with South Africa.
We actively propagandized the
American public,
Americans, misguided by our agents' propaganda, went to
fight in Angola in suicidal
circumstances.
Case officers are almost entirely dependent on inside
material for knowledge of their areas of operation, perpetuating biases and
superficial observations.
It is exceedingly rare that officers,
including even the analysts of the Directorate of Information, will read the
books and articles which the academic world publishes about their areas of
interest.
Case officers maintain secret liaison with local security
services.
Stations are universally part of the official communities of
the host countries.
Case
officers live comfortable lives among the economic elite; even "outside" or
"deep cover" case officers are part of that elite.
They become conditioned to the
mentality of the authoritarian figures,
the police chiefs, with whom they
work and socialize, and eventually share their
resentment of
revolutionaries who threaten the status quo.
On
March 15, 1961,
FNLA guerrillas mounted
an attack across the Congo border along a 400-mile front, killing African and
Portuguese men, women, and children alike.
Portuguese air force planes
immediately brought in military reinforcements using NATO arms intended for the
defense of the North Atlantic area, and began striking back with indiscriminate
wrath, even bombing and strafing areas that had not been affected by the
nationalist uprising.
Portuguese police seized nationalists,
Protestants, communists, and systematically eliminated black leaders by
execution.
South
African planes and trucks turned up throughout
Angola with just the gasoline or
ammunition needed for an impending operation.
On October two South
African C-l30 aeroplanes, met a CIA C-141 flight and whisk its load of arms
down to Silva Porto.
CIA officers and BOSS representatives met the
planes at Ndjili and jointly supervised the transloading.
40 Committee
papers for Angolan operation, did not list a peaceful option, although the
State Department African Affairs Bureau and the US consul general in
Luanda had firmly recommended noninvolvement.
"At the end of
World War II, we were militarily dominant, economically dominant, and we
enjoyed remarkable international credibility.
With a modicum of
restraint and self-confidence we could
have laid the foundations of
lasting world
peace.
Instead we exaggerated the challenge of a Soviet
Union which had just lost 70,000 villages, 17l0 towns, 4.7 million houses,
and 20 million people.
We set its
dread KGB as a model for our own
alter ego in foreign affairs.
In the words of the
Hoover Commission report of 1954:
There are no rules in such a
game.
Hitherto acceptable norms of human
conduct do not apply.
To survive,
American concepts of
"fair play" must be reconsidered.
We must develop effective
espionage and
counterespionage services.
We must learn to subvert,
sabotage and destroy our
enemies by more clever, more sophisticated and more effective methods than
those used against us.
It may
become necessary that the American people be acquainted with, understand
and support this fundamentally
repugnant philosophy.
Cast as
super-patriots, there were no rules, no
controls, no
laws, no
moral restraints, and
no civil rights for the game-players.
No individual in the world is immune to their
depredations, friends could be
shafted and enemies destroyed, without compunction.
Eventually, like
any secret police, they became abusive.
They
drugged American citizens;
opened private mail;
infiltrated the media
with propaganda and misinformation;
lied to our elected
representatives;
set themselves above the law and the Constitution."

This web site is not a commercial web site and

purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
created a populace unable to
discern propaganda from
reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international
corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of
reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs
when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or
persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a
system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie -
a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of
faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in
which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation
with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality
in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human
spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are
spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against
individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate
crime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the
intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the
international corporate cartels
desire to control the human
race. The international corporate
cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media
worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is
responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of
self-centered behavior and the destruction
of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation.
Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social
mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the
corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by
pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population
through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the
destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not
adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of
a perfect world. Through
distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population
has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite
that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
