"CIA: Conspiracies In Action"
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order for nations to survive and remain strong,
|
|
there are certain factors and institutions which must blend
|
|
together. A nation must have a social-political structure
|
|
and a viable, functioning economic apparatus to propel it
|
|
forward. The foundation for the United States is predicated
|
|
on several variables, two of which are the Constitution,
|
|
which is a "living, growing document" and an economic system
|
|
based on free market principles, namely capitalism. For over
|
|
two hundred years, both of these systems have functioned to
|
|
create one of the greatest nations in the history of the
|
|
civilized human race. For most Americans and people of the
|
|
world, the premise of American democracy is based on a
|
|
government run by the consent of the people. Our rights are
|
|
protected by the Constitution, and the government itself
|
|
functions via a system of checks and balances. Each branch
|
|
of our government balances its' power through the others.
|
|
But something unusual occurred after World War II. A secret
|
|
or "invisible" government emerged from "the smoke and rubble
|
|
of Pearl Harbor. It was still a child when the Cold War
|
|
began after World War II, an adolescent during the 1950's,
|
|
and it reached its majority a year after President Kennedy
|
|
took office" (The Invisible Government, Wise and Ross, 1964)
|
|
It is not a formal institution. In its present state
|
|
it has grown into... "...a loose, amorphous grouping
|
|
of individuals and agencies drawn from many parts of the
|
|
visible government". This second unseen government is
|
|
responsible for carrying out the policies (foreign and
|
|
domestic) for the first or visible government.
|
|
|
|
The primary function of the secret government is to
|
|
gather intelligence, conduct espionage, and plan and execute
|
|
secret operations all over the globe. It is not limited to
|
|
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), although the CIA is
|
|
at its heart. There are nine other agencies that compromise
|
|
the intelligence community. In no particular order, they are
|
|
the National Security Agency, Army, Navy, and Air Force
|
|
Intelligence, the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence
|
|
and Research, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the Federal
|
|
Bureau of Investigation. The complexity and shadowy nature
|
|
of the secret government is further insulated by individuals
|
|
and businesses, some public and some ostensibly private.
|
|
This organization is making decisions regarding peace and
|
|
war completely out of public view. In fact, it is so
|
|
secretive that few, if any, of our elected officials are
|
|
involved in its decisions, and that includes the President.
|
|
In effect, the United States has two distinct foreign policy
|
|
agendas. One follows a public direction, which generally
|
|
promulgates the altruistic myth of America as the good-guy.
|
|
The other policy is carried out by the secret government and
|
|
works in the opposite direction of the public policy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The premise of an intelligence gathering agency finds
|
|
its inception under President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940,
|
|
when he created the Office of Coordinator of Information. On
|
|
June 13, 1942, this agency was split into the Office of
|
|
Strategic Services and the Office of War Information. The
|
|
function of the O.S.S. was to gather information, but quickly
|
|
expanded to include special covert operations, a policy
|
|
still followed by the CIA. In September, 1945, President
|
|
Truman disbanded the OSS. Four months later, he issued an
|
|
executive order creating the National Intelligence Group
|
|
and, under it, a Central Intelligence Group, which became
|
|
the forerunner of the CIA. In 1947 the CIA was officially
|
|
created by the National Security Act, and its duties were
|
|
set forth in five specific areas, all under the auspices of
|
|
the National Security Council. To simplify these five
|
|
functions, the law appeared to give the CIA the task of
|
|
obtaining, correlating, evaluating, coordinating, and
|
|
advising the NSC. Today, the question is how could these
|
|
guidelines be so blatantly abused? The answer lies in the
|
|
"other functions" which the CIA may perform under the 1947
|
|
Act. Because there is no specific provision for covert
|
|
political operations in the 1947 Act, the NSC issued a
|
|
"paper" in the summer of 1948 authorizing special
|
|
operations. There were two important guidelines: the
|
|
operations must be secret and they must be "plausibly
|
|
deniable by the government."
|
|
|
|
By 1951 the CIA merged and consolidated its power to
|
|
the point where it became an operational and at times a
|
|
policy-making arm of government, Truman was clearly
|
|
disturbed by this diversion of the CIA, but it was during
|
|
his presidency that the CIA began conducting special
|
|
operations. In time, many citizens and Congressmen began
|
|
questioning the actions of the CIA, but to no avail.
|
|
Theoretically, Congress controls all appropriations to all
|
|
agencies and institutions in the United States, but not to
|
|
the CIA. In 1949 the Central Intelligence Agency Act was
|
|
passed, exempting the CIA from all Federal laws that
|
|
required the disclosure of the "functions, names, official
|
|
titles, salaries, or numbers of personnel employed by the
|
|
Agency." It gave the director of the Agency the staggering
|
|
and unprecedented power to spend money without being
|
|
accountable to anyone! The reasoning behind this Act was to
|
|
protect the field agents. Without public access to records,
|
|
vouchers, or expenditures, the identity of our agents would
|
|
remain secure and subsequently so would our national
|
|
security.
|
|
|
|
Through the 1950's the CIA and the "invisible
|
|
government" began to acquire unprecedented strength and
|
|
further expand the scope of its operations. The emergence of
|
|
the Agency in all of its size and power is directly
|
|
correlated to the Dulles brothers and their relationship
|
|
with the federal government. Uniquely, they embodied the
|
|
dualism, and indeed the moral dilemma of the United States
|
|
foreign policy. During the Eisenhower Administration, John
|
|
Foster Dulles became the Secretary of State while his
|
|
younger brother, Allen Dulles, formerly an agent of the OSS,
|
|
became the first civilian director of the CIA. Between these
|
|
two men, they shaped, developed, and implemented two
|
|
distinct foreign policies. Under Foster Dulles the United
|
|
States formulated its policy of containment, regarding the
|
|
Soviet Unions quest to advance Communism. Publicly, the
|
|
United States would never "adopt the evil tactics of
|
|
subversion and secret manipulation practiced by the
|
|
Communist enemy." In essence, Foster Dulles reflected the
|
|
mythic America that Americans had grown accustomed to
|
|
seeing, hearing, and reading about via the media. The CIA
|
|
propaganda machine in conjunction with Hollywood movie
|
|
makers worked overtime, consciously or not, to promote this
|
|
ideal. American morality and work ethic was the epitome of
|
|
all that was good and righteous; the world as we would like
|
|
it to be. While he took this public position, his brother
|
|
was free to deal with the realities of foreign policy. He
|
|
was able to fight fire with fire. Simply put, overturning
|
|
governments whether it occurred through economic warfare,
|
|
coup d'etat, assassination, rigged elections, or even
|
|
genocide was irrelevent, as long as it paralleled the public
|
|
policy expressed by the State Department. The dark side of
|
|
the government was in effect largely kept secret from the
|
|
American people and Congress. Because of the relationship
|
|
between the Dulles brothers, the natural friction between
|
|
the State Department and the CIA never materialized.
|
|
|
|
In order to survive, nations need strong intelligence
|
|
services. But the idea that the CIA is primarily an
|
|
intelligence-gathering operation is itself one of the
|
|
Agency's greatest propaganda triumphs. Despite its name, the
|
|
CIA's main purpose is carrying out covert operations. The
|
|
Agency is also expert at distorting intelligence to justify
|
|
its own goals. This disinformation leads to dangerous
|
|
illusions amoung our policy makers. As long as the CIA exists
|
|
in its present state, and there is no reason to believe it
|
|
will change in the near future, our government can break and
|
|
and all laws in the name of national security.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps one of the most important of all operations
|
|
began before the Agency was even born. Towards the end of
|
|
World War II, many Nazi leaders recognized the inevitable,
|
|
and began negotiating with the United States. These
|
|
negotiations contained two areas of primary focus: surrender
|
|
and receive safe passage to a neutral nation of their choice
|
|
and the possibilty of waging a war against the new threat
|
|
to the United States, the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union's
|
|
emerging status as a super power created a "new world
|
|
order"; a bi-polar world, and with it the onset of the Cold
|
|
War. Both of the nations would follow a foreign policy
|
|
designed to confront the other in every conceivable aspect
|
|
of foreign relations. Sports, trade agreements, space
|
|
exploration, the development of weapons of mass destruction,
|
|
imperialism (some blatant, some clandestine) spheres of
|
|
influence; the list is endless, and the regions of the world
|
|
where the confrontations took place span the entire globe.
|
|
BEfore World War II came to a conclusion, the United States
|
|
and its allies came to comprehend this potential new threat,
|
|
as did the Nazi leaders of Germany. What the Nazis had to
|
|
offer the United States was a source of intelligence
|
|
throughout Eastern Europe. As we know this region became
|
|
the buffer zone the Soviet Union sought as compensation for
|
|
its role in defeating Hitler's armies. The "iron curtain",
|
|
as Churchill called it, would separate the democratic
|
|
nations of Western Europe. The Nazi intelligence network
|
|
was already in place and the United States recognized this
|
|
opportunity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The man that put this operation in motion was an agent
|
|
of the OSS, and future CIA director, Allen Dulles. In 1943
|
|
he began secret negotiations with General Reinhard Gehlan,
|
|
Hitler's Intelligence Chief for the Eastern front. When these
|
|
secret discussions were finalized, General Gehlan was
|
|
whisked to Fort Hunt in Virginia. His espionage network,
|
|
which became known as the "Gehlan Org", would work for, and
|
|
be funded by the United States. For almost ten years, the
|
|
Gehlan Org was virtually the CIA's only source of
|
|
intelligence regarding Eastern Europe. By 1955 it evolved
|
|
into the BND, Germany's equivalent of the CIA. Many fled to
|
|
Latin America to live lives in comfort, security, and to
|
|
continue working with CIA linked groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To ensure that Western Europe remained anti-Communist
|
|
(although not necessarily democratic), the CIA organized
|
|
secret paramilitary units, with hidden stockpiles of weapons
|
|
and explosives. These units existed in Italy (operation
|
|
Gladio, 1948), France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and West
|
|
Germany. Most were directed by former SS officers and had
|
|
connections with an international fascist unbrella
|
|
organization called the World Anti-Communist League. This
|
|
organization was formed in 1961, and served as a worldwide
|
|
network for extreme right wing militants. It boasts of a
|
|
membership of extremely dubious and deviant groups. Former
|
|
Nazis, Italian terrorists, Japanese fascists, racist
|
|
Afrikaners, Latin American "death squads", United States
|
|
Congressmen, and "former" CIA agents. In fact, this
|
|
organization (WACL) played a major role in the internal
|
|
affairs of Latin America. One of the more notable operations
|
|
involved the assassination of El Salvador's Archbishop,
|
|
Oscar Romero, in 1980. Romero wrote then President Carter
|
|
regarding the numerous human rights violations occurring in
|
|
his country. The murderous rulers, led by Roberto
|
|
D'Aubuisson, an admirer of Hitler, orderered the hit. His
|
|
party, known as ARENA, is still supported by the CIA and
|
|
rules the country. Between 1979 and 1992, over 70,000
|
|
"peasants" have been executed by the ARENA party.
|
|
|
|
One of the more infamous operations occurred in
|
|
Guatemala in the early 1950's. By this time, the Dulles
|
|
brothers were firmly entrenched as the "czars" of American
|
|
foreign policy. Both remained partners in the Wall Street
|
|
law firm of Sullivan and Cromwell. In 1951, Jacobo Arbenz
|
|
was elected President of Guatemala by a landslide in a free
|
|
and fair election. His primary goal was to transform
|
|
Guatemala's backwards economy to a "modern capitalist
|
|
state." The first orders of business was to appropriate land
|
|
that was controlled by the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit
|
|
Company, for which they were fairly compensated. This
|
|
company was represented by none other than Sullivan and
|
|
Cromwell. They immediately embarked on a propaganda campaign
|
|
to discredit Arbenz as a Communist conspirator. The CIA
|
|
conducted extensive propaganda operations and sabotage
|
|
against the government. In 1954, unmarked CIA planes staged
|
|
a series of air raids on the capital, dropping leaflets
|
|
demanding the President's resignation. CIA-run radio
|
|
stations warned of an impending invasion by a rebel army,
|
|
who in actuality were mercenaries hired by the CIA. Arbenz
|
|
fled the country and left Guatemala in the control of a CIA
|
|
hand-picked "stooge", General Castillo Armas. Over the past
|
|
40 years, various CIA backed regimes have murdered more than
|
|
100,000 nationals in Guatemala.
|
|
|
|
|
|
While in Latin America, let's examine some of the CIA's
|
|
famous and less famous operations. In 1930, Raphael Trujillo
|
|
took power in the Dominican Republic via a coup d'etat. He
|
|
was enthusiastically backed by Washington for most of the
|
|
next 30 years. Trujillo was totally devoted to the U.S. in
|
|
the United Nations, and in return, the U.S. raised no
|
|
objection to his methods of suppressing dissent - torture
|
|
and mass murder. Throughout his years of rule, U.S.
|
|
companies enjoyed a "favorable investment climate". By the
|
|
late 1950's Trujillo controlled two-thirds of the economy.
|
|
His incessant greed threatened the "favorable investment
|
|
climate" for U.S. companies, and the U.S. government began
|
|
to worry about a "Castro-type revolution." In 1961, Trujillo
|
|
was mysteriously assassinated. His predecessor, Juan Bosch,
|
|
was deposed by a CIA-backed coup, seven months after he took
|
|
office. He was restored back to power in 1965 by a popular
|
|
countercoup, only to be deposed again by a CIA invasion. A
|
|
series of murderous regimes have maintained a "favorable
|
|
investment climate" ever since, even while the citizens of
|
|
this island nation suffer from acute poverty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1973, the CIA destroyed the oldest functioning
|
|
democracy in South America, Chile. In 1970, a socialist by
|
|
the name of Salvador Allende was elected President. The
|
|
President of the United States, Richard Nixon, explicitly
|
|
ordered the CIA to prevent his inauguration, and failed in an
|
|
assassination plot. The CIA thus began a character
|
|
assassination campaign to create a "coup climate". The CIA
|
|
also orchestrated acts of sabotage, terror, guerrilla
|
|
warfare, and arson. Funded by U.S. corporations with Chilean
|
|
holdings, the CIA sponsored demonstrations and strikes. CIA
|
|
linked media fanned the "flames of crisis". This barrage
|
|
eventually eroded Allende's base of support, and, in
|
|
September, of 1973, he, along with several cabinet members
|
|
was assassinated. A military junta headed by General
|
|
Pinochet seized power and began to purge the nation of
|
|
radicals. Anyone who opposed his regime or was sympathetic
|
|
to Allende was tortured and killed. Three years later, an
|
|
exiled Chilean diplomat, an outspoken opponent of Pinochet
|
|
(and the CIA), was blown to pieces by a car bomb. Orlando
|
|
Letelier was not killed in Chile, but instead on the streets
|
|
of Washington, D.C., U.S.A., along with his American aide,
|
|
Ronni Moffit. CIA director George Bush told the FBI that
|
|
there had been no Chilean involvement in these assassinations.
|
|
But the CIA was quite aware of the fact that the Chilean
|
|
secret police (DINA) had sent a hit squad to Washington.
|
|
Soon after this incident, a Cuban airliner was blown up,
|
|
killing 73 passengers. Investigators into the airline
|
|
bombing found unmistakable connections to a meeting that took
|
|
place between a "former" CIA operative, other CIA and FBI
|
|
agents, as well as a violent group of CIA linked Cuban exiles.
|
|
The bombing and assassinations were planned at this meeting.
|
|
The CIA and FBI coverup is so complex that it is almost
|
|
impossible to corroborate any reliable information
|
|
regarding these incidents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the CIA's favorite hobbies was mind control
|
|
experiments. Behavior control, as the CIA called it, became
|
|
a great priority in 1953 (after the Korean War), under a
|
|
program code named MK-ULTRA. This program was top secret and
|
|
required the highest security clearance for anyone and
|
|
everyone. Many of its files were destroyed when CIA director
|
|
Richard Helms left his post in 1973. MK-ULTRA personnel
|
|
(primarily "spooks and shrinks") tested radiation, electric
|
|
shocks, electrode implants, microwaves, ultrasound, a wide
|
|
range of drugs, and hypnosis on thousands of unsuspecting
|
|
people. How they chose their "subjects" is so difficult to
|
|
access that I cannot truly confirm all of the rumors I
|
|
became aware of. Nonetheless, hundreds of prisoners have
|
|
been used, voluntarily or not. During the mid to late 1950's,
|
|
the CIA began to experiment with LSD. For many years it
|
|
became the principle source of the drug in the U.S.. Some
|
|
insiders insist that the "hippies" were part of their great
|
|
experiment of the 1960's, but, personally, I think they used
|
|
their own drugs on themselves. How else could you explain
|
|
their bizarre behavior? LSD was also used on unsuspecting
|
|
Vietnam personnel in the field. While in the field, I heard
|
|
countless stories detailing these experiments. When I read
|
|
"Jacob's Ladder", I was truly shocked, but it only
|
|
confirmed what I thought to be true.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mass murder at Jonestown, Guyana in 1978 was
|
|
actually the culmination of a massive CIA behavior
|
|
experiment. Although reports of the incident referred to it
|
|
as a "mass suicide", there is a lot of evidence that it was
|
|
indeed mass murder. The coroner's report states that the 913
|
|
victims didn't drink cyanide laced Kool-Aid. Almost 90% of
|
|
the victims received lethal injection, while the rest were
|
|
shot. Cult leader Jim Jones had a long affiliation to the
|
|
CIA. When he formed his People's temple in Ukiah,
|
|
California, he engaged his people to infiltrate
|
|
organizations of liberal politicians. San Francisco Mayor
|
|
George Mascone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated
|
|
a week after Jonestown. Both owed political favors to Jim
|
|
Jones. When reports of murders tied to his temple began to
|
|
surface, he fled with his flock to Guyana. The Prime
|
|
Minister at the time owed his job to a 1964 CIA sponsored
|
|
coup. People that survived Jonestown reported that it was a
|
|
virtual concentration camp. Black cultists worked like
|
|
slaves enduring beatings, torture, rape, and intense doses
|
|
of drugs used in the MK-ULTRA program. When Representative
|
|
Leo Ryan, a key congressional opponent of the CIAm arrived
|
|
to investigate Jones, he was assassinated. Shortly,
|
|
thereafter, the murders began. All of Jones' white
|
|
lieutenants escaped as did hundreds of millions of dollars.
|
|
Supposedly, Jones died, but no proof has ever been established.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1959, Fidel Castro overthrew U.S.-backed Batista
|
|
dictatorship in Cuba. He immediately closed down the
|
|
casinos, brothels, and nationalized the entire economy. He
|
|
put the Mafia and U.S. based multi-nation corporations out
|
|
of business in Cuba. He made many enemies. Vice-President
|
|
Nixon, who had longstanding ties with the mob, through his
|
|
friend Bebe Rebozo, began plotting with the CIA to eliminate
|
|
Castro. Both the CIA and the mob expected Nixon to be the
|
|
next President, but JFK was elected instead. In effect,
|
|
Kennedy inherited the Bay of Pigs operation, which he was
|
|
not too fond of. Kennedy did not want U.S. military forces
|
|
to get involved, just Cuban exiles. The CIA hoped that they
|
|
could coerce him into using the U.S. military. When this
|
|
failed, so did the invasion and the whole operation. The
|
|
operation called for the Mafia to assassinate Castro at the
|
|
same time as the invasion. It was poorly planned,
|
|
uncoordinated, and poorly executed. Kennedy took full
|
|
responsibility and this incident brought him to the promise
|
|
of dismantling the CIA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assassination of JFK in Dallas in 1963 was truly
|
|
the culmination of a power struggle between Kennedy and the
|
|
secret government. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the
|
|
relations between the two were quite frayed at best. Kennedy
|
|
was perceived to be soft on the fight against Communism. In
|
|
fact, prior to his death, he planned to pull out American
|
|
military personnel from Vietnam, something the CIA was
|
|
unequivocally opposed to. He fired CIA director Allen
|
|
Dulles, and, because of the Bay of Pigs disaster and his
|
|
brother's crusade against organized crime (Robert F. Kennedy
|
|
was Attorney General), he was hated by the Mafia. The CIA
|
|
and the Mafia had formed an uneasy partnership in their
|
|
quest to kill Castro. Now, they shared a common enemy, John
|
|
F. Kennedy. They began to weave an elaborate web of deceit,
|
|
espionage, blackmail, and inevitably murder, after 1961.
|
|
They stretched their reach of power to the very limits, to
|
|
plan, coordinate, and execute the coverup of this operation. Lee
|
|
Harvey Oswald, the supposed "lone gunman", was a pawn in
|
|
their game of chess, as were countless others who were
|
|
sacrificed in the name of national security. The list of
|
|
players is literally a who's who if government operatives,
|
|
Mafia heirarchy, businessmen, politicians, police officers,
|
|
and citizens. The coverup is so extensive and complex that
|
|
it is conceivable that we will never know the full truth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In another "assassination scenario", during the last
|
|
few years of his life, Malcolm X did several things to
|
|
antagonize the CIA. He accused the CIA of assassinating or
|
|
overthrowing several third world leaders and their
|
|
countries. In fact, he met with many of these leaders, who
|
|
were only anti-American. He believed the CIA was behind
|
|
the Lumumba assassination (Zaire, 1960), and threatened to
|
|
officially ask the U.N. to declare American blacks an
|
|
oppressed minority. But what scared the CIA the most was his
|
|
radical shift away from the separatist, militant approach to
|
|
a more moderate one. One week after his death, he was to
|
|
have met for the first time Martin Luther King, Jr.. It is
|
|
believed that both the FBI and the CIA had been spying on him in
|
|
a coordinated effort, and government agents had infiltrated
|
|
his group as well as the Nation of Islam. After his
|
|
assassination in 1965, by members of the Nation of Islam, it
|
|
was revealed that the conspiracy to kill Malcolm X also
|
|
included the FBI and CIA. The FBI and CIA decided to reach
|
|
out to the Mafia a second time, this time to plot the
|
|
assassination of King. The plot, coordination, execution,
|
|
escape, and cover-up that took place was a precision
|
|
operation. The shooter, James Earl Ray, another "stooge"
|
|
was connected to various members of all three of these
|
|
entities. Again, we will probably never know the true story
|
|
in this conspiracy or any others I have mentioned. Nor will
|
|
we ever clarify Robert F. Kennedy's assassination. Like his
|
|
brother, J.F.K., he wanted no part of Vietnam, which of
|
|
course was unthinkable for the industrial-military complex.
|
|
He pushed for equal rights for blacks and was despised by
|
|
the Mafia. People that were among those present at the scene
|
|
of J.F.K.'s assassination and subsequent probe were also
|
|
present for R.F.K.'s assassination. Is it a coincidence?
|
|
Maybe... But maybe there is a common denominator that runs
|
|
through all of these events. The evidence is too strong to
|
|
believe that the secret government does not exist. From my
|
|
personal experience in Vietnam, I witnessed first hand how
|
|
"the Company" or "the Agency" operates.
|
|
|
|
By now it is apparent to the reader, of the extensive
|
|
scope of power the intelligence community, and in
|
|
particular, the CIA have. Long before the U.S. military got
|
|
directly involved there, Vietnam was the CIA's war. At
|
|
first, they waged a fully operational clandestine war using
|
|
locals, mercenaries, and French and Korean soldiers. They
|
|
had the largest "private" airline in the world at the time,
|
|
called Air America, but this effort proved to be in vain.
|
|
The only way to free the region of the Communist plague was
|
|
to fully involve the U.S. military. To do this, they had to
|
|
create a favorable environment both in the region and at
|
|
home. They accomplished both. Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand
|
|
were home to several large, very secret, military
|
|
installations. From these "bases of operations", the CIA
|
|
could monitor the activities in both the North and South
|
|
Vietnam. Through a propaganda campaign in North Vietnam,
|
|
over one million refugees were brought to the South by CIA
|
|
ships and planes. In the South, the CIA created the
|
|
appearance of a democratic government by writing a
|
|
Constitution and installing Ngo Dinh Diem as President. When
|
|
they no longer needed Diem, he was assassinated, as was
|
|
J.F.K.. Following the deaths of both Diem and J.F.K., they had
|
|
successfully created the favorable environment they needed
|
|
to involve the U.S. military. Within days of the J.F.K.
|
|
assassination, newly installed President Johnson reversed
|
|
J.F.K.'s plans to withdraw all military personnel. The CIA
|
|
then fabricated the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which led to
|
|
the Tonkin Resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even though the U.S. military officially took control
|
|
of the war after 1965, the CIA was part of the decision-
|
|
making heirarchy. Policy, logistics, strategy, troop
|
|
dispersal, air attacks in both the North and South, and
|
|
clandestine operations from Laos and Cambodia were all under
|
|
the jurisdiction of the CIA. They even dictated to the
|
|
military what to tell the U.S. media, who were stationed in
|
|
Saigon. This war was to be the crowning moment in the
|
|
history of the CIA. They finally had everything they ever
|
|
wanted: a full-blown war, with all of the trimmings. They
|
|
controlled every conceivable aspect of the war, until
|
|
January 1968. By 1968, over 550,000 troops were stationed in
|
|
Vietnam. This war had grown into the "career opportunity of
|
|
a lifetime" for the military-industrial complex, military
|
|
career officers, and the CIA. They could extend the war for
|
|
as long as they liked, while millions of dollars of tax
|
|
payers' money were spent. But in January of 1968, they made
|
|
a fatal mistake. They failed to recognize the coming of the
|
|
TET offensive. The TET new year was to be a temporary cease
|
|
fire, beginning on January 31. But military intelligence
|
|
failed miserably. Instead of a cease-fire, every military
|
|
installation in South Vietnam was simultaneously attacked,
|
|
including the U.S. embassy in Saigon. Saigon was where the
|
|
U.S. media resided. The war, in all of its color, glory,
|
|
death, and mayhem finally came to Saigon. Subsequently, all
|
|
of this was brought home to the American public via
|
|
television. The profound results of the TET-1968 changed the
|
|
nation, the people, Congress, and the policy regarding
|
|
Vietnam. It was now time to figure a way out of this
|
|
quagmire. "Peace with honor", said President Nixon. From
|
|
1968 to 1975, at the fall of Saigon, the CIA began to expand
|
|
the war into Cambodia and cover its tracks in South Vietnam.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When I arrived in the Nam in 1971, the nature of the
|
|
war had changed dramatically. My primary goal in Vietnam was
|
|
to survive, not to win the war. My first contact with field
|
|
overatives, known as "spooks", came in October of
|
|
1971. I was newly assigned to the 25th infantry Division,
|
|
located in War Zone C, III Corps, An Loc, Co Chi Province.
|
|
We were extremely close to Cambodia, and all of my op's were
|
|
in or near Cambodia, along the Ho Chi Minh trail. My
|
|
previous unit, the 9th Infantry Division, stationed in the
|
|
MeKing Delta region near My Tho, had rotated home. I joined
|
|
this new unit primarily because of my skills as a "pointman".
|
|
Shortly after arriving at my new area of operatives (AO), I
|
|
was approached by a "military type" (spook), to "volunteer"
|
|
for a new unit. This unit was to operate in total secrecy from
|
|
the rest of the Division. Out AO was in Cambodia, deep behind
|
|
"enemy" lines. Our unit was to be affiliated with Special Forces
|
|
as an "elite mobilized unit". We were initially divided into
|
|
four-men recon teams to acquire extensive intelligence. Our
|
|
information led to air assaults by the Air Force, Army, and
|
|
Navy on suspected V.C. and N.V.A. strongholds. In time, these
|
|
recon teams became "sniper teams" or "hitsquads", as we
|
|
called them. Our targets and missions were always highly
|
|
classified. We spent days and even weeks at a time on an
|
|
operation in the bush. We were highly trained and skilled with
|
|
each member a specialist in one or two specific areas. I had
|
|
acheived the highest classification for marksmanship. My other
|
|
specialty was with knives. I remained in Vietnam for a total of
|
|
364 days, 14 hours, and seven minutes, to be exact. I
|
|
participated in countless numbers of missions, all of which
|
|
were covert in nature, and answered only to the field
|
|
operatives running these missions. When my tour of duty was
|
|
up, I flatly refused to re-up (re-enlist), and my future
|
|
became rather tenuous with the Army. I have run into
|
|
countless problems and difficulties with the V.A. and the
|
|
Army, since I left in 1972, but that is another story!
