WED., JANUARY 15, 1992 9:34 A.M. YEAR 5, DAY 152
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1992Oh "crunch"! What will the idiots do next? You have a situation about to burst now, with China. You are going to impose trade restrictions against them after all the hullabaloo about open and favored trade, etc. That, of course, was to allow a good infiltration of the banking system and Kissinger Associates to get ready, set and GO. I promise you that this will be a VERY bad mistake because of the sheer numbers of Chinese bodies.
TODAY'S WATCH
Can you not see that which your government is doing in the guise of saving "your jobs?" all the while they are moving all of your major industry into foreign countries? They are restricting you-the-citizens from having products either at lower affordable costs, quality worthy of purchase or having anything within range in depressed times. While your government claims nonisolation--they bulldoze dead ahead on ISOLATION--isolating you citizens from ability to obtain products. Do you not see? Even your own products will continue to be too high priced until depression strikes and no-one has funds for purchase at any rate, and also cause scarcity so that you have nothing either way.
Do you realize that GM's cuts alone will bring another 500,000 unemployed to the bread lines?
RON PAUL
I have honored Ron Paul often in the past but I now take exception LOUDLY to his projections at this time regarding the Soviet Union.
He says: "In 1989-90 we watched the collapse of Soviet socialism. In 1991, the Soviet Union itself vanished. Thus ended 74 years of the most brutal social engineering in world history--communism, the attempt to banish God, human nature, private property, and economic law...... "
Balderdash: Nothing collapsed and nothing vanished! At this point not even the "name". This is typical of the confusion factors at work. They have simply moved their main point of operation to downtown New York and Washington D.C. They NEVER were Communist and when did you ever witness ANYTHING "VANISH" BY SIMPLY CHANGING ITS NAME? Ah, does the cup in front of you "vanish" because you now call it a "jug"? I thought not!
What else your Big Boys are telling you this day--"...there were far fewer casualties of Iraqis in the war than reported!" No, there were hundreds of thousands MORE--and you are now getting your "reverse information" tactics.
My notation regarding Paul is not to discredit him, it is that he has decided "...not to seek the Presidency but rather fully support Pat Buchanan." As of now there is ONLY ONE CANDIDATE PLANNING TO RUN ON THE PLATFORM SOLELY OF RESTORATION OF THE CONSTITUTION--BO GRITZ. At times even he is swayed by the political manipulators and he must, further, come into understanding that your nation was "birthed one nation under GOD--not one under a man named "Jesus". This "man" and "christ" are not synonyms. This must be understood in its full intent of freedom for ALL--even those who could not know or recognize a person called Jesus. I insist you consider again--HIS NAME WAS ESU EMMANUEL! THE NAME "JESUS" WAS GIVEN THE MAN AFTER HIS "DEPARTURE"--BY SAUL OF TARSUS (ESU'S DEADLY ENEMY) AS HE WAS TRAVELING UNDER HIS CHANGED NAME (PAUL), IN GREECE. PAUL CHANGED THE TEACHING TO SUIT THE NEEDS OF THE ADVERSARY AND PULLED OFF THE COUP OF THE GENERATIONS. IF YOU DOUBT ME AND YET YOU WISH TO CHECK HISTORY--NOTE THAT THE JEFFERSON BIBLE HAS REMOVED ALL OF PAUL'S WRITINGS--INDEED THAT WAS THOMAS JEFFERSON!
Therefore, you were birthed a "Christ--ian" in "Godness" nation to bear the lamp of freedom and symbol to a fallen planet as "God's chosen"--"i"sraelis. I am sorry, you born-again "Jesus" ones--it simply cannot be Truth, that which you are told to believe. The "Jesus on the Cross" story has no bearing on your nation as a placement for the masses of God's children--most of whom are totally unaware the story is fabricated to fool you grabbers of the easy way out. I would rather see OUR nation fall through the blatant deceit and open lies than through a substitute lie fostered by do-gooders. When ones come into understanding of TRUTH, then and only then will they have God's support in the human endeavor! So be it.
As we finally sit to pen on our work this day, I feel the frustration at the interruptions and the changing of topics. Yes, we do need to write about immunizations and inoculations but the public must begin to think for selves. There are forms which can be obtained from the Common Law Service Center (3rd Judicial District, 564 La Sierra Drive, Suite 187 Sacramento, California Republic, Telephone: 916 487-1849) which can be utilized to get children into schools and get them out of the immunization circle if you choose to so-do. My advice? By all means, it is a horror and not that which it appears to be. I consider the program to be one of "The Poison Needles" if that might give you a clue. Others call it "Murder by Injection". It is as with anything that starts with merit and ends up as tools of evil and control within the greedy tentacles of the Elite.
Since your political world is in as severe straits as your medical world--I cannot take one topic at a time lest other information go begging. If you get the two Books recommended in the prior JOURNAL, then you will have enough information until we can get back to the beginnings of the immunization story and update it for you. Please bear with us, readers, as we are efforting to our utmost ability to cover it all and human limitations are most limiting.
HISTORY AND DATA OF THE CIA
I have promised, and today it becomes imperative, to give you history and data of the CIA. I prefer to go with the ones who refer to the CIA as the "Cult of Intelligence". You will find that from onset it was structured under the guise of working "for" the Soviet Union while all ones involved thought it was "against" the Soviet Union. I can best give you the story through the eyes of ones involved. I am, however, faced with a most definite problem, the material in point is now found in a book which has deliberately been taken from print and buried in the pits with other truth-bringing. Therefore, I shall simply write and refer to the authors by initials until such time as I can be sure of security. I believe this to be one of the best outlays in incidental information from past years and can be confirmed by more recent information as it has been brought forth and as we will outlay it. I will have to do it in two volumes to keep the length within ability to handle but I believe you will find it most interesting indeed.
My main need for immediate attention to this subject is that there is farcical thrust to "make public CIA documents which have been top-secret." I believe that you will find that there is information deleted from all documents even in the files, transposition of data, codes and total falsification of documents until, as with UFO phenomenon, there is no truth in that which will be foisted off on you in the public domain. The documents, further, will be interpreted FOR you and will disclose ONLY THAT WHICH IS INTENDED TO FURTHER MISLEAD YOU AS TO TRUTH. ANYTHING OF VALUE WILL REMAIN "NATIONAL SECURITY" AND I ASSURE YOU--YOU WILL GET NONE OF THE TRUTH!!!
Indeed, I shall even change initials of the writers in point for they have paid dearly enough and then I shall contact the one still living, personally. We will call the first writer in Introduction, IMA (I Am Anonymous).
I remind you that the CIA is only a small branch of the KGB/Mossad and exposure is deadly. I believe as we outlay experiences and see the connections with Russia right from onset you will be able to set 1+1 to 2. Most of you don't have the vaguest idea when or how it came to be a CIA and it was so exciting to be in that circle or witness the intrigue, etc., that you lost all knowledge of what it was or is. You see, you think INTERPOL to be something out of "Get Smart" or "James Bond". That is a REAL serious organization.
Since there is afoot a movement to disband the CIA, be cautious. It is as with the Soviet Union and KGB. Disbanding is NOT the point for there is NO INTENTION TO DISBAND ANYTHING--ONLY UNIFY AND STRENGTHEN INTO THE GLOBAL CONTROL FORCES. Again, changing the name of the "cup" to "jug" does not change a thing, it only confuses the user!
IMA's PREFACE
This is a first person preface.
My introduction to the intelligence business came during the early years of the Cold War, while serving with the U.S. Army in Germany. There, in 1952, I was sent to the European Command's "special" school of Oberammergau to study Russian and the rudiments of intelligence methods and techniques. Afterward I was assigned to duty on the East German border. The information we collected on the enemy's plans and activities was of little significance, but the duty was good, sometimes even exciting. We believed that we were keeping the world free for democracy, that we were in the first line of defense against the spread of Communism--whatever that meant, for the system was neither communistic nor suited to any other political term save that which we had just endured and fought against.
After leaving the military service, I returned to college at Penn State, where I majored in Soviet studies and history. Shortly before graduation, I was secretly recruited by the CIA, which I officially joined in September 1955; the struggle between democracy and Communism seemed more important than ever, the CIA was in the forefront of that vital international battle. I wanted to make a contribution.
Except for one year with the Clandestine Services, spent largely in training, most of my career with the CIA was devoted to analytical work. As a Soviet military specialist, I did research, then current intelligence, and finally national estimates--at the time, the highest form of intelligence production. I was at one point the CIA's--and probably the U.S. government's--leading expert on Soviet military aid to the countries of the Third World. I was involved in uncovering Moscow's furtive efforts that culminated in the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 and, later, in unraveling the enigma of the "Soviet ABM problem".
From 1966 to 1969 I served as a staff officer in the Office of the Director of the CIA, where I held such positions as special assistant to the Chief of Planning, Programming, and Budgeting. Special assistant to the Executive Director, and executive assistant to the Deputy Director. It was during these years that I came to see how the highly compartmentalized organization performed as a whole, and what its full role in the U.S. intelligence community was. The view from the Office of the Director was both enlightening and discouraging. The CIA did not, as advertised to the public and the Congress, function primarily as a central clearinghouse and producer of national intelligence for the government. Its basic mission was that of clandestine operations, particularly covert action--the secret intervention in the internal affairs of other nations. Nor was the Director of CIA a dominant--or much interested-figure in the direction and management of the intelligence community which he supposedly headed. Rather, his chief concern, like that of most of his predecessors and the agency's current Director, was in overseeing the CIA's clandestine activities.
Disenchanted and disagreeing with many of the agency's policies and practices, and, for that matter, with those of the intelligence community and the U.S. government, I resigned from the CIA in late 1969. But having been thoroughly indoctrinated with the theology of "national security" for so many years, I was unable at first to speak out publicly. And, I must admit, I was still imbued with the mystique of the agency and the intelligence business in general, even retaining a certain affection for both. I therefore sought to put forth my thoughts--perhaps more accurately, my feelings--in fictional form. I wrote a novel, XXX, in which I tried to describe for the reader what life was actually like in a secret agency such as the CIA, and what the differences were between myth and reality in this overly romanticized profession.
The publication of the novel accomplished two things. It brought me in touch with numerous people outside the inbred, insulated world of intelligence who were concerned over the constantly increasing size and role of intelligence work toward bringing about an open review and, I hoped, some reform in the U.S. intelligence system. Realizing that the CIA and the intelligence community are incapable of reforming themselves, and that Presidents, who see the system as a private asset, have no desire to change it in any basic way, I hoped to win support for a comprehensive review in Congress. I soon learned, however, that those members of Congress who possessed the power to institute reforms had no interest in doing so. The others either lacked the wherewithal to accomplish any significant changes or were apathetic. I therefore decided to write a book--this book--expressing my views on the CIA and explaining the reasons why I believe the time has come for the U.S. intelligence community to be reviewed and reformed.
The CIA and the government have fought long and hard--and not always ethically--first to discourage the writing of this book and then to prevent its publication. They managed, through legal technicalities and by raising the specter of "national security" violations, to achieve an unprecedented abridgment of my constitutional right to free speech. They have secured an unwarranted and outrageous permanent injunction against me, requiring that anything I write or say, "factual, fictional or otherwise", on the subject of intelligence must first be censored by the CIA. Under risk of criminal contempt of court, I can speak only at my own peril and must allow the CIA thirty days to review, and excise, my writings--prior to submitting them to a publisher for consideration.
It has been said that among the dangers faced by a democratic society in fighting totalitarian systems, such as fascism and communism, is that the democratic government runs the risk of imitating its enemies' methods and, thereby, destroying the very democracy that it claims to defend. I cannot help wondering if my government is more concerned with defending our democratic system or more intent upon imitating the methods of totalitarian regimes in order to maintain its already inordinate power over the American people. IMA, 1974.
[H:] What you are going to find as we go through here is that as the pages and sections would be returned to IMA there were great deletions. As we go along, I shall honor the author and also list the number of portions deleted, i.e., 1 line deleted, 3&112 lines deleted and thus and so.
Hatonn will comment as usual, within brackets [H:]. I believe you will find these portions quite expressive without many comments for I intend to comment quite extensively at the end if it seems appropriate. Note that this information is two decades old and so with what is coming through currently I think the picture should come into focus quite clearly.
OTHER PARTICIPANT: ALSO A
Unlike IMA, I did not join the government to do intelligence work. Rather, fresh out of college in 1966, I entered the Foreign Service. My first assignment was to have been London, but with my draft board pressing for my services, the State Department advised me that the best way to stay out of uniform was to go to Vietnam as a civilian advisor in the so-called pacification program. I reluctantly agreed and spent the next eighteen months there, returning to Washington just after the Tet offensive in February 1968. From personal observation, I knew that American policy in Vietnam was ineffective, but I had been one of those who thought that if only better tactics were used the United States could "win." Once back in this country, I soon came to see that American involvement in Indochina was not only ineffective but totally wrong.
The State Department had assigned me to the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, first as an analyst of French and Belgian affairs and then as staff assistant to State's intelligence director. Since this bureau carries on State's liaison with the rest of the intelligence community, I was for the first time introduced to the whole worldwide network of American spying--not so much as a participant but as a shuffler of top-secret papers and a note-taker at top-level intelligence meetings. Here I found the same kind of waste and inefficiency I had come to know in Vietnam and, even worse, the same sort of reasoning that had led the country into Vietnam in the first place. In the high councils of the intelligence community, there was no sense that intervention in the internal affairs of other countries was not the inherent right of the United States. "Don't be an idealist; you have to live in the 'real' world," said the professionals. I found it increasingly difficult to agree.
For me, the last straw was the American invasion of Cambodia in April 1970. I felt personally concerned because only two months earlier, on temporary assignment to a White House study group, I had helped write a relatively pessimistic report about the situation in Vietnam. It seemed now that our honest conclusions about the tenuous position of the Thieu government had been used in some small way to justify the overt expansion of the war into a new country.
I wish now that I had walked out of the State Department the day the troops went into Cambodia. Within a few months, however, I found a new job as executive assistant to Senator Clifford Case of New Jersey. Knowing of the Senator's opposition to the war, I looked at my new work as a chance to try to change what I knew was wrong in the way the United States conducts its foreign policy.
During my three years with Senator Case, when we were concentrating our efforts on legislation to end the war, to limit the intelligence community, and to curb presidential abuses of executive agreements, I came to know IMA. With our common experience and interest in intelligence, we talked frequently about how things could be improved. In the fall of 1972, obviously disturbed by the legal action the government had taken against the book he intended to write but which he had not yet started, he felt he needed someone to assist him in his work. Best of all would be a coauthor with the background to make a substantive contribution as well as to help in the actual writing. This book is the result of our joint effort.
I entered the project in the hope that what we have to say will have some effect in influencing the public and the Congress to institute meaningful control over American intelligence and to end the type of intervention abroad which, in addition to being counterproductive, is inconsistent with the ideals by which our country is supposed to govern itself. whether such a hope was misguided remains to be seen. ALSO A., 1974
INTRODUCTION: XX, AMERICAN CIVIL
LIBERTIES UNION.
On April 18, 1972, IMA became the first American writer to be served with an official censorship order issued by a court of the United States. The order prohibited him from "disclosing in any manner (1) any information relating to intelligence activities, (2) any information concerning intelligence sources and methods, or (3) any intelligence information."
To secure the order, government lawyers had appeared in the chambers of Judge Albert V. Bryan, Jr., of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, in Alexandria, on the morning of April 18, without having notified IMA. The government's papers recited that IMA had worked at the CIA from 1955 to 1969, that he had signed several "secrecy agreements" in which he had agreed not to reveal any information learned during his employment, that after he left the CIA he had revealed forbidden information, that he was planning to write a non-fiction book about the agency, and that publication of the book would "result in grave and irreparable injury to the interests of the United States."
Among the papers presented to the judges was an affidavit (classified "Secret") from Thomas H. Daramessines, Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the head of the CIA's covert-activities branch. The affidavit said that a magazine article and an outline of a proposed book, both written by IMA, had been turned over to the CIA and that they contained information about the CIA's secret activities. The affidavit related several of the items and described how their disclosure would, in the CIA's opinion, be harmful to the United States. On the basis of that affidavit and others, including one by CIA Director Richard Helms, Judge Bryan signed a temporary restraining order forbidding IMA to disclose any information about the CIA and requiring him to submit any "manuscript, article or essay, or other writing, factual or otherwise", to the CIA before "releasing it to any person or corporation". It was that order which United States marshals served upon IMA. The next month was consumed by a hectic and unsuccessful effort to have the order set aside.
IMA asked the ACLU for assistance the day after receiving the order, and was in New York the following day to meet his lawyers and prepare his defense. At the first court appearance, on Friday, April 21, we unsuccessfully urged Judge Bryan to dissolve the temporary restraining order. He also refused to order the government to allow MA's lawyers to read the "secret" affidavit, because none of us had security clearance. [H: My goodness, citizens, we could stop right HERE! WHERE IS YOUR CONSTITUTION??? THIS PERSON NOT ONLY WAS KEPT FROM THE COURTROOM BUT, FURTHER, COULD NOT EVEN WITNESS THE PEOPLE OR INFORMATION USED AGAINST HIM--WAKE UP!!!] The following Monday we were in Baltimore to arrange an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals to argue there that the temporary restraining order should be dissolved. The court agreed to hear arguments two days later. During the Baltimore meeting the government lawyers announced that they had conferred security clearance upon me and that I would be able to read the secret affidavit but could not have a copy of it. They said they would clear the other defense lawyers during the next few days. We were also told that any witnesses we intended to present at trial, to be held that Friday, would also require security clearance before we could discuss the secret affidavit with them. That was a hell of a way to prepare for trial; we couldn't even talk to prospective witnesses unless they were approved by the government.
We argued the appeal before the Court of Appeals on Wednesday, but that, too, was unsuccessful, and the temporary restraining order remained in effect. Our only satisfaction was an order by the court prohibiting both the CIA and the Department of Justice from trying to influence our witnesses in any way.
On Friday we appeared before Judge Bryan and reluctantly asked for a two-week postponement because it had been impossible for us to secure witnesses who could testify that day. The need for security clearance had made it impossible for us to discuss the case with those witnesses who had at least tentatively agreed to testify for the defense. But, more depressing, we had had great difficulty finding people willing to testify at all. We had called a few dozen prospects, largely former members of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations who had reputations as liberals and even, in some cases, reputations as civil-libertarians. I'm still waiting for them to return my calls. Of the other half, most were simply frightened at the idea of being identified with the case, and some, including a few who had themselves revealed classified information in their published memoirs, agreed with the government that IMA's pen should be immobilized. In the end, our list of witnesses was short but notable: Professor Abram Chayes of Harvard Law School, and former Legal Advisor to the Department of State in the Kennedy administration; Professor Richard Falk, Milbank Professor of International Law at Princeton; Morton Halperin, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and staff member of the National Security Council under Kissinger; and Professor Paul Blackstock, an intelligence expert from the University of South Carolina.
The next two weeks were consumed by the frustrating hunt for
witnesses and by other pre-trial requirements, including examination of Karamessines and the CIA's Security Director, who were to be the government's chief witnesses.
The trial started and ended on May 15. Essentially, it consisted of Karamessines repeating the contents of his secret affidavit. As interesting as it would be to describe the day in detail, I am forbidden to, for the public was excluded and the testimony of the government witnesses is classified. The result, however, is public. It was a clean sweep for the CIA, and Judge Bryan issued a permanent injunction against IMA.
The results on appeal were not much better. The validity of the injunction was broadly affirmed. The only limitation imposed by the Court of Appeals was that only classified information could be deleted from the book by the CIA. The litigation finally came to an end in December 1972 when the Supreme Court refused to hear the case. It was a great defeat for IMA, for his lawyers--AND FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
* * *
American law has always recognized that injunctions against publication--"prior restraints," in legal jargon--threaten the root and branch of democratic society. Until 1971, when the New York Times was enjoined from printing the Pentagon Papers, the federal government had never attempted to impose a prior restraint on publication, and the handful of such efforts by the states were uniformly denounced by the Supreme Court. As we learned from the Pentagon Papers case, however, the Nixon administration was not going to be deterred by a mere two hundred years of history from becoming the first administration to try to suppress publication of a newspaper. They ultimately failed in their specific goal of suppressing publication of a newspaper--but, for fifteen days, a newspaper actually was restrained from publishing, the first such restraint in American history.
The Times' resumption of publication of the Pentagon Papers immediately after the Supreme Court decision would seem to mean that the case ended victoriously. Although it was a victory, it was NOT a sound victory, for only Justices Black and Douglas said that injunctions against publication were constitutionally forbidden under any circumstances. The other members of the court made it perfectly clear that they could imagine circumstances where such injunctions would be enforced, notwithstanding the First Amendment's guarantee of a free press. Nixon-administration lawyers could read the opinions as well as ACLU lawyers and they, too, saw that the decision in the Pentagon Papers Case was not a knockout punch. So only ten months after being beaten off by the New York Times, they were back in court trying the same thing again with IMA.
Nine opinions were written in the Pentagon Papers Case. Out of all those opinions one standard emerges under which a majority of the Justices would have allowed information to be suppressed prior to publication: proof by the government that disclosure would "surely result in direct immediate and irreparable injury to the Nation or its people." We were comfortable with that standard because we were confident that nothing IMA had disclosed or would disclose in the future would have that effect. But we were not permitted to put the government to its proof through the testimony of our four witnesses because Judge Bryan agreed with the government that IMA's case was different from the Pentagon Papers Case. "We are not enjoining the press in this case," the government lawyers said. "We are merely enforcing a contract between IMA and the CIA. This is not a First Amendment case, it's just a contract action." The contract to which they were referring was, of course, IMA's secrecy agreement.
All employees of the CIA are required to sign an agreement in which they promise not to reveal any information learned during their employment which relates to "intelligence sources or methods" without first securing authorization from the agency. The standard form of the agreement includes threats of prosecution and promises to deliver the most awful consequences upon the slightest violation. The only trouble with the threats is that until now they have been unenforceable. Apart from disclosure of information classified by the Atomic Energy Commission, it is not a crime to disclose classified information unless it is done under circumstances which involve what is commonly understood as espionage--spying for a foreign nation. The government tried, in the prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg, to stretch the espionage statutes to punish his disclosure of the Pentagon Papers, even though he had had no intent to injure the United States, as required by the statute. Though that prosecution was aborted under the most dramatic circumstances, including a surreptitious attempt by President Nixon to influence the trial judge, it is unlikely that the appeals courts would have upheld such an expansive application of the espionage laws--assuming that the jury would even have brought in a guilty verdict.
In any case, being doubtful about how far the threat of prosecution under a dubious statute would deter IMA from publicly criticizing the CIA and inevitably disclosing some of its practices, the CIA fell upon the contract theory as a device for trying to suppress his book before it was put into print. The theory struck a harmonious note with the federal judges who heard the case, and proved more successful than the government probably ever dared to hope and certainly more than we had ever expected. But it cheapens the First Amendment to say that an agreement by an employee of the United States not to reveal some government activity is the same as an agreement to deliver a hundred bales of cotton. It ignores the compelling democratic principle that the public has a right to be well informed about its government's actions.
Of course, some will be heard to say, "But these are secrets," and indeed much of the information you will read in this book has been considered to be secret. But "secrets" have been revealed before--there were literally thousands of them in the Pentagon Papers. Every high government official who writes his memoirs after leaving office reveals "secrets" he learned while in government service, and most had signed secrecy agreements, too. "Secrets" are regularly leaked to the press by government officers, sometimes to serve official policy, sometimes only to serve a man's own ambitions. In fact, disclosure of so-called secrets--even CIA secrets--has a long and honorable history in our country, and the practice has proved to be valuable because it provides the public with important information that it must have in order to pass judgment on its elected officials.
Furthermore, disclosure of "secret" information is rarely harmful because the decision inside government to classify information is notoriously frivolous. Experts have estimated that up to 99 percent of the millions of documents currently classified ought not be classified at all. But not only is disclosure of "secret" information generally harmless, it is a tonic that improves our nation's health. Government officers cried that disclosure of the Pentagon Papers would put the nation's security in immediate jeopardy. When they were finally published in their entirety, the only damage was to the reputation of officials in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations who were shown to have deceived the nation about the war in Vietnam.

When you read this book, you will notice that, unlike any other book previously published in the United States, this one contains blanks. That is the remarkable effect of the government's success. You will also notice that the book has two authors, IMA and ALSO A. That is another remarkable effect of the government's success. After being enjoined, defeated in his attempts to win relief in the appellate courts, virtually ignored by the press, shunned by his former colleagues at the CIA, unable even to discuss the progress of his work with his editor at XXX (because the very purpose of the injunction was to forbid the publisher to see the manuscript before the CIA had the opportunity to censor it), there was serious question whether IMA would be able to write the book at all. His discouragement was profound and his bitterness sharp. If he had not written the book, the government's success would have been complete, for that was its real objective. Luckily, IMA and ALSO A came together and with a shared perspective on the evils of clandestine activities; they were able to do together what the government hoped would not be done at all.
When the manuscript was completed at the end of August 1973, it was delivered to the CIA. Thirty days later, the time allowed by the injunction, we received a letter from the CIA which designated 339 portions of the book that were to be deleted. Some of the deletions were single words, some were several lines, some were portions of organizational charts, and many were whole pages. In all, 15 to 20 percent of the manuscript was ordered deleted. I won't soon forget that September evening when IMA, ALSO A and I sat in the ACLU office for several hours literally cutting out the deleted parts of the manuscript so that we could deliver the remains to It was the Devil's work we did that day.
[H: Let's see now, if that was the Devil's work, I would hope that ones who might know of that deleted material turn it now into GOD'S WORK! I suggest that any who recognize this writing and know ones involved suggest that the information deleted somehow, someway anonymously get into my attention. I will be most happy to print the original with deletions, in full--and then print the deletions as an addendum in the second volume. I want no information as to source or resource. I ask that the prints be wiped of all identification and fingerprints and indeed, IT IS HARD TO SUE GOD!!! ALSO, YOU NOW HAVE SOME PRETTY STRONG BROTHERS TO BACK UP THE INFORMATION AND EVEN MY SCRIBE WILL NOT KNOW RESOURCE--I WOULD NEVER PLACE HER IN JEOPARDY. SO BE IT.]
We filed suit in October, together with XX, challenging the CIA's censorship. By the time we went to trial on February 28, the agency had reduced the number of deletions from 339 to 168. Withdrawal of half their original objections should not be taken as a sign of the CIA's generosity. On the contrary, it was the result of our insistent demands over a period of four months, and the agency's recognition that we would go to the mat over the very last censored word. The authors gave up nothing, and rejected several invitations to re-write parts of the book so that it would be satisfactory to the CIA.
There were three issues to be decided at the trial: did the censored portions of the book consist of classified information?
Was that information learned by the authors during their government employment? And was any of it in the public domain?
After a two-and-a-half day trial, including testimony by the five highest-ranking officials of the CIA, Judge Bryan decided the case on March 29. It was a major victory for the authors and the publisher. Bryan held that the agency had failed, with a few exceptions, to prove that the deleted information was classified.
The decision was probably more surprising to the CIA. Accustomed as they have become to having their way, it is unlikely to have occurred to them that a mere judge of the United States would contradict their declarations about classified information, for it was the government's theory throughout the case that material was classified if high-ranking officials said it was classified. Our view, presented through the expert testimony of Morton Halperin, was that concrete proof of classification was required. In the absence of documents declaring specific information to be classified, or testimony by the employee who had in fact classified specific information, Judge Bryan flatly rejected mere assertions by ranking CIA officers that such information was classified.
Of the 168 disputed items, he found only 27 which he could say were classified. On the other hand, he found that only seven of the 168 had been learned by IMA and ALSO A outside their government employment, and that none of the information was in the public domain.
The decision is obviously important. It allows virtually the entire book to be published (though the present edition still lacks the deleted sections cleared by Judge Bryan, since he postponed enforcement of his decision to allow the government its right to appeal); it desanctifies the CIA; and it discards the magical authority that has always accompanied government incantation of "national security". Hopefully, the higher courts will agree. [H: We have searched the bookshelves for a follow-up of this document and have located none. Therefore we will work from the assumption that a subsequent publication may not have been made. I will be very happy for any information which will set this to correct if in error. As ones come under such harsh and ceaseless attack, as now is happening with Oliver Stone and the JFK movie of truth, it is very hard to bounce back (if you survive at all) to serve further. These factions do not play fair, they are practiced at that which they do and the confrontation is indeed terrifying. Stone, for instance, has been asked in great pleading to film OCTOBER SURPRISE, and has declined as he states that he can stand no more abuse and attack, "the pressure and consequences are simply too great". When no one is left who dares--where will you be, America?]
There will necessarily be differences of opinion on the subject of the disclosure of secret information. The reader of this book can decide whether the release of the information it contains serves the public's interest or injures the nation's security. For myself, I have no doubts. Both individual citizens and the nation as a whole will be far better off for the book's having been published. The only injury inflicted in the course of the struggle to publish the book is damage sustained BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

Let us have a break, please, and we can further decide just how we are going to handle this information. It is old and certainly damages not "national security" but I must always act in protection of all ones involved.
Hatonn to clear, please.

TODAY'S WATCH
Anyone who thinks it is just a little coincidence that you have a U-2 plane down in "South Korea" by "accident"--is going to be a really good prospect to buy a few thriving S&L's. You have just had a MAJOR INCIDENT and won't it be fun to see how long it takes for you to find out the truth. How about a rerun of Gary Powers in 1960???
OLIVER STONE
I am not going to go into a lot of world "watching" today for I wish to get on with our writing of the CIA exposure for the heinous organization it represents. However, I wish to ask you readers to support Mr. Stone's efforts to bring you truth from all the lies in a way which allows you to SEE and perhaps better understand. He makes no claims to anything--he presents the FACTS as he finds them and only compiles testimony in such a manner as to be able to get pertinent information into his allotted time. You ones have been trained to not sit more than a couple of hours at a time for anything--fact or fiction. In fact, facts usually go begging and fiction in violence will hold your attention longer.
Please KNOW that this man is undergoing major "bashing" and yet, if you don't support his efforts to bring truth in the most effective manner possible, on the screen, you are going to be locked into the lie forever. You must demand that truth flow and, further, that it be put on the media screens wherein the adverse "training" has taken place. That means that you-the-people are going to have to demand and reclaim your media from the Zionist controllers. You have no idea how much trouble this group of movie makers had in getting JFK to the screen. The assumption was that the scenario presented could easily be discounted through ridicule by the head-newsmakers such as Evans, Novak, etc. No, it isn't working because if Man has Truth--he will eventually SEE IT for he is given faculties of REASON and LOGIC and Truth will always 'out' eventually. When one lie is uncovered, other connecting lies will also be revealed.
As you find the CIA involved "through proof" then you can more easily, for instance, look at that which we bring. I especially would wish you to remember that we wrote about Kennedy in truth in our first JOURNAL. I am not herein advertising but only pointing out TRUTH and CONFIRMATION so that you can feel a bit more comfort with our presentations for we have so little time to perfect our mission. We must all begin to pull on the oars together, in unison, if we are to set the boat to right. PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU--GO WITH THE TRUTH AND NOT THE CONTROVERSIAL RESOURCE REPRESENTED HEREIN--THE LATTER WILL WORK ITSELF OUT AS YOU FIND NAUGHT SAVE TRUTH IN THAT WHICH WE OUTLAY. ALLOW YOUR CONFIRMATIONS IN OPEN-MINDS WITHOUT JUDGMENT UNTIL AFTER YOU GLEAN THE INFORMATION. IF WE ARE CORRECT IN MOST THINGS AS YOU UNFOLD THE WRITINGS--GIVE US "POSSIBILITY" OF RIGHTNESS IN OTHER AND ALL THINGS FOR IT IS THROUGH REASON AND THE GIFT OF GOD THAT WE WISH TO REACH YOU--NOT IN MAGIC, MYSTICISM AND HOCUS-POCUS. YOU ARE NOW MOVING FROM THE ILLUSION AND INTO THE REALITY OF EXPERIENCE; DON'T MISS THE BOAT OR YOU SHALL MISS THE ONE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFESTREAM.
CONTINUATION OF "CULT OF INTELLIGENCE"
In November, 1971, Chairman, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator J. William Fulbright said: "But this secrecy...has become a god in this country, and those people who have secrets travel in a kind of fraternity...and they will not speak to anyone else."
I suggest that is one of the most gross understatements ever made.
There exists in your nation today an incredibly powerful and dangerous secret cult--this "cult of Intelligence".
Its holy men are the clandestine professionals of the Central Intelligence Agency as you recognize it--a worldwide Agency by many names that are hidden from you. This has been the enforcement factor for insuring take-over by the Elite in its ability to hide EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING FROM YOU CITIZENS.
Its patrons and protectors are the highest officials of the federal government. Its membership, extending far beyond governmental circles, reaches into the power centers of industry, commerce, finance, and labor--recruitment into the force is begun in your high schools. It is easy to recruit young people for the aspects are presented in the most wondrously intriguing ways imaginable along with the sex appeal of a James Bond type of charismatic hero actor. Its friends are many in the areas of important public influence--the academic world and the communications media. The cult of intelligence is a secret fraternity of the American political aristocracy--not the one world "New World Order" enforcement wing, internationally. It is structured to cover all and any corrupt behavior of any personages in power.
The purpose of the cult is to further the foreign policies of the U.S. government by covert and usually illegal means. This would imply that the whole of the organization and operatives would be American--not so, Americans make up the least of the population in the organization today. At the same time it was to have contained the spread of its avowed enemy, Communism. But funny thing--you now have more KGB Communists, terrorist elite and Mossad agents in the organization than American leaders; the KGB and Mossad have been brought in specifically to take the leadership, training and authority. It is now called "working together as free nations" for a "peaceful world" under "democracy" which equates 100% to socialistic fascism and dictatorship/monarchy of puppets and puppet masters. Ah, yet traditionally, the cult's projected purpose has been to foster a world order in which America would reign supreme, the unchallenged international leader. I believe you can see that no matter how you lie to selves and wave flags, the facts remain that it isn't true. You have clung to the fantasy while the industrial and moral fiber of your very foundation has been sold or stolen from you. Wishing will no longer bring anything to right.
Two decades ago the dream had tarnished by time and frequent failures--the next years and into today are examples of the extensive corruption which has fingered its way around the globe in coalition with the criminals of the planet.
I have several books to recommend to you for reading and I'll mention two of them here so that you can begin to get ready with your modern confirmations. Acquire the Books of Col. James "Bo" Gritz and IN SEARCH OF ENEMIES by Stockwell. There are so many, among which are coming out the best, soon--by John Coleman. These are what you need if you doubt my outlay. For your sake, friends, if you doubt me, don't simply discount my word--go find your confirmation. If you turn away from Truth--you will have nothing left to rebuild. For instance, if you do not believe what I wrote about John F. Kennedy and his death--GO SEE "JFK"! There have been dozens of men who have brought you the truth of the circumstance but you have REFUSED TO READ OR RESEARCH! YOU, AS A PEOPLE, HAVE PREFERRED TO SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL AND CERTAINLY, SPEAK NO EVIL. Well, soon you will lose all Constitutional Rights to see, speak or hear in freedom. THIS is the point--not who may or may not have shot a President. Coups take place all over the globe--why NOT in America? Are you sacrosanct?
The cult's objectives rapidly became far less grandiose as time flitted by and one after another cover-up worked. It seemed to seek largely to advance America's self-appointed role as the dominant arbiter of social, economic, and political change in the awakening regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America. Its worldwide war against Communism sounded good as a rallying point but, as is now obvious, that was never the point in the first place. That has now become reduced to a covert struggle to maintain a self-serving stability in the Third World, using whatever clandestine methods available--in order to serve the Elite Plan 2000.
For the cult of intelligence, fostering "stability" may in one country mean reluctant and passive acquiescence to evolutionary change; in another, a determined effort to reverse popular trends toward independence and democracy. The cult attempts that which it believes it can accomplish and which--in the event of failure or exposure--the U.S. government can plausibly deny.
The CIA is both the center and the primary instrument of the cult of intelligence as you recognize it to be. For our purposes herein we will leave that assumption intact to lessen the confusion of intent of this JOURNAL. Its purpose is to engage in espionage and counterespionage, in propaganda and disinformation (the deliberate circulation of false information), in psychological warfare and paramilitary activities. It penetrates and manipulates private institutions, and creates its own organization (called "proprietaries") when necessary. It recruits agents and mercenaries; it bribes and blackmails foreign officials to carry out its most unsavory tasks. This becomes quite easy because first the enticements to officials are through bribery and threat and blackmail becomes easy and logical. It does whatever is required or desired to achieve its goals, without any consideration of the ethics involved or the moral consequences of its actions. As the secret-action arm of American foreign policy, the CIA's most potent weapon is its covert intervention in the internal affairs of countries the U.S. government wishes to control or influence.
Romanticized by myths, the operations of the CIA are also beclouded by false images and shielded by official deceptions. Its practices are hidden behind arcane and antiquated legalisms which prevent the public and even Congress from knowing what the mysterious agency is doing--or why. Thus the cult of intelligence justifies with dramatic assertions that the CIA's purpose is to preserve the "national security", that its actions are in response to the needs of the nation's defense. No one--in an age in which secrecy is the definitional operative of security--need know more than that.
The cult is intent upon conducting the foreign affairs of the U.S. government without the awareness or participation of the people. It recognizes no role for a questioning legislature or an investigative press. Its adherents believe that only they have the right and the obligation to decide what is necessary to satisfy the national needs. Although it pursues outmoded international policies and unattainable ends, the cult of intelligence demands that it not be held accountable for its actions by the people it professes to serve. It is a privileged, as well as secret, charge. In their minds, those who belong to the cult of intelligence have been ordained, and their service is immune from public scrutiny.
CLANDESTINE MENTALITY
The "clandestine mentality" is a mind-set that thrives on secrecy and deception--right from the onset of adversarial operations against you of "Godness" (goodness, love and honor in open sharing). It encourages professional amorality--the belief that righteous goals can be achieved through the use of unprincipled and normally unacceptable means. Thus, the cult's leaders must tenaciously guard their official actions from public view. To do otherwise would restrict their ability to act independently; it would permit the American people to pass judgment on not only the utility of their policies, but the ethics of those policies as well. With the cooperation of an acquiescent, ill-informed Congress, and the encouragement and assistance of a series of Presidents, the cult has built a wall of laws and executive orders around the CIA and itself, a wall that has blocked effective public scrutiny.
When necessary, the members of the cult of intelligence, including your Presidents (who are always aware of, generally approve of, and often actually initiate the CIA's major undertakings), have lied to protect the CIA and to hide their own responsibility for its operations. The Eisenhower Administration lied to the American people about the CIA's involvement in the Guatemalan coup d'etat in 1954, about the agency's support of the unsuccessful rebellion in Indonesia in 1958, and about Francis Gary Powers' 1960 U-2 mission. The Kennedy Administration lied about the CIA's role in the abortive invasion of Cuba in 1961, admitting its involvement only after the operation had failed disastrously. The Johnson Administration lied about the extent of most U.S. government commitments in Vietnam and Laos, and all of the CIA's. And the Nixon Administration publicly lied about the agency's attempt to fix the Chilean election in 1970. For adherents to the cult of intelligence, hypocrisy and deception, like secrecy, have become standard techniques for preventing public awareness of the CIA's clandestine operations, and governmental accountability for them. And these men who ask that they be regarded as honorable men, true patriots, will, when caught in their own webs of deceit, even assert that the government has an inherent right to lie to "its" people--as if IT owns you--and your opinions and existence have nothing to do with "IT".
The justification for the "right to lie" is that secrecy in covert operations is necessary to prevent U.S. policies and actions from coming to the attention of the "enemy"--or, in the parlance of the clandestine trade, the "opposition". If the opposition is oblivious to the CIA's operations, the argument runs, then it cannot respond and the CIA activities stand a good chance of succeeding. Nonetheless, in many instances the opposition knows exactly what covert operations are being targeted against it, and it takes counteraction when possible. The U-2 overflights and, later, those of the photographic satellites were, and remain, as well known to the Soviets and the Chinese as Soviet overhead reconnaissance of the United States is to the CIA; there is no way, when engaging in operations of this magnitude, to keep them secret from the opposition--especially when you and the opposition are working for the same end goal. It, too, employs a professional intelligence service--remember the KGB, and the Mossad. The Chinese have an even more sophisticated method of covert secrecy--they utilized a simple procedure of being secret from the entire world while they built their installations and underground shelters, etc. They can come out now because there is everything already hidden and secure and they don't really care WHO knows their strength. In fact, they like to toss it around a lot, i.e., arms to every small nation in the Arab World as well as the great big ones. You are about to awaken the sleeping giant and you are going to be very, very sorry about that.
Looking back to the time of the writing of the book in point you will find that from 1952 to 1964, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet KGB electronically intercepted even the most secret messages routed through the code room of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. This breach in secrecy, however, apparently caused little damage to U.S. national security, nor did the Soviet government collapse because the CIA had for years secretly intercepted the private conversations of the top Russian leaders as they talked over their limousine radio-telephones. Both sides knew more than enough to cancel out the effect of any leaks. The fact is that in your country, secrecy and deception in intelligence operations are as much to keep the Congress and the public from learning what their government is doing as to shield these activities from the opposition. The intelligence establishment operates as it does to maintain freedom of action and avoid accountability.
Your nation, as with all other mighty nations and civilizations (actually even the most tiny places), shall fall because of the enemy WITHIN--again, not that one without. It is always that ones get control and maintain control and activities in the absolute secret shrouds of protection while they do their dirty work and destroy that which is YOURS. YOU are the ones who have laughed at the antics of the politicians and failed to choose better. YOU are the ones who fail to vote because, yes, it IS all decided but you have chosen not to make those ones accountable under your precious Constitution. YOU HAVE DONE IT AND IT IS UP TO YOU NOW, TO UNDO IT.
A good part of the CIA's power position is dependent upon its careful mythologizing and glorification of the exploits of the clandestine profession. Sometimes this even entails fostering a sort of perverse public admiration for the covert practices of the opposition intelligence services--to frighten the public and thereby justify the actions of the CIA. Whatever the method, the selling of the intelligence business is designed to have us admire it as some sort of mysterious, often magical, profession capable of accomplishing terribly difficult, if not miraculous, deeds. Look at James Bond, as example, in His Majesty's Secret Service! Like most myths, the intrigues and successes of the CIA over the years have been more imaginary than real as to that which was laid forth as their "goal". What is real, unfortunately, is the willingness of both the public and adherents of the cult to believe the fictions that permeate the intelligence business.
The original mission of the CIA was to coordinate the intelligence-collection programs of the various governmental departments and agencies, and to produce the reports and studies required by the national leadership in conducting the affairs of U.S. foreign policy. This was President Truman's view when he requested that Congress establish the secret intelligence agency by passing the National Security Act of 1947. But General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, Allen Dulles, and other veterans of the wartime Office of Strategic Services--a virtually unregulated body, both romantic and daring, tailor-made to the fondest dreams of the covert operator--thought differently. They saw the emergency agency as the clandestine instrument by which Washington could achieve foreign-policy goals not attainable through diplomacy. They believed that the mantle of world leadership had been passed by the British to the Americans, and that their own secret service must take up where the British left off. Thus, they lobbied Congress for the power to conduct covert operations. Lumped in all this, of course, are the "Black" operations, "Black" budget and thus and so.
That Truman attempted to create an overt intelligence organization, one which could emphasize the gathering and analysis of information rather than secret operations, was somewhat commendable--although not seriously contemplated. He thought he could control the advocates of covert action but that was, in retrospect, a gross error in calculations. His first miscalculation was that he held any power at all to do much of anything when not a direct disciple of the cult. In that instance, Congress, in an atmosphere of Cold War tension, allowed itself to be persuaded by the intelligence professionals--even then controlled by the foreign interests of the Zionists who had already gained control of the Congress. With the passage of the National Security Act of 1947 it allowed the new agency special exemptions from the normal congressional reviewing process, and these exemptions were expanded two years later by the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949. Of the greatest and most far-reaching consequence was the provision in the 1947 law that permitted EXECUTIVE ORDERS! This allowed the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties related to intelligence...as the National Security Council may from time to time direct". From those few innocuous words the CIA has been able, over the years, to develop a secret charter based on NSC directives and presidential executive orders, a charter almost completely at variance with the apparent intent of the law that established the agency. I use the term "apparent intent" because the "full intent" was exactly that which you have accomplished. The vague phrase has provided the CIA with freedom to engage in covert action, the right to intervene secretly in the internal affairs of your own and other nations. It has done so, usually with the express approval of the White House, but almost always WITHOUT the consent of Congress or even the knowledge of Congress, and virtually never with the knowledge of the American public.
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE
Knowing nothing has meant that the public does not even realize how frequently the CIA has failed. Moreover, while the practices were under way so was a disinformation and distraction campaign under way to pull your attention into every other avenue of interest except world affairs and the games of the CIA. The media was in full coalition with the perpetrators and remains so to this moment. Pay attention as to WHO IS DENOUNCING "JFK"! Note who brings more and more outrageous stories to the air annually making the Holocaust worse and worse until it has finally proven its own stupidity of projection. When you have more people collecting restitution for being injured in the Holocaust than there were "Jews" in the given area to be slain and worse, more Jews touted to have been murdered than there were Jews in the whole continent at the time--it seems to reveal its own miscalculations. That, however, has not seemed to cause you-the-people to open your eyes and ears and consider FACTS!
In addition, the goodly workers of goodness save you from any responsibility at all. They come along and say, "What the Hell, so we finally get to our wondrous rapture and streets of gold." Literally, I heard your own Jan and Paul speaking of those "solid gold streets" as if they are paved throughout eternity. Are they bad people? No, the worst part of the parable is that they are wondrously good and motivated people--but they took the bait and instead of controlling the fish, the fish wags them. In the horrendous face of making your nation again "right", you are given another cop-out--just go sit and wait until God comes and gets you off the place and into glory. You botched it, you broke it, kicked it and battered it--but you somehow don't have to be responsible and even consider "fixing" what you did--just believe a man shed blood FOR YOU SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY and you will somehow float away to all those good and wondrous rewards of riches and wonders. You don't even have to change your current activities--in fact, you must not disagree with any group in any actions--but forgive and allow! Bless and commingle, sharing love everywhere if even in the illicit bed of another's spouse while spreading death along the way in disease and pain foisted upon the others involved. This precious Jan even stated that in the Swaggart example--"We should have been more Godly and not condemned nor talked about him in negative manner--we should have simply forgiven and supported him." Are you insane? You don't have anything to "forgive" or "judge" another about--even Swaggart. However, it is your duty to be discerning and judge the actions and teach your children wrong from right behavior--not just give the child a condom and advise safe sex with the prostitute. You ones have even twisted the already erroneous lies of the adversary and he is having a total "field day" with you now, for you have extended the errors beyond anything he had thought to make part of the blueprint. Worse, you do it openly for evil in the name of God!
LET US LOOK AT SOME PUBLIC BACKFIRES
The one just spoken of above is the master plan of all backfires--it will end up getting your goose cooked. However in the line of CIA backfires we have some interesting incidents to consider. Occasionally, clandestine operations do backfire spectacularly and do so in public. The U-2 shootdown and the Bay of Pigs invasion, for example--and further, investigations by journalists and uncowed members of Congress in some of those instances gave the public some idea of what the CIA was actually doing. In the Watergate scandal it was revealed some of the CIA's covert activities within the United States, providing a frightening view of the methods which the agency had employed for years overseas and totally in secrecy within your borders. The assistance given the White House "plumbers" by the CIA and the attempts to involve the agency in the cover-up pointed up the dangers posed to American democracy by an inadequately controlled security intelligence organization. But you can see today that it actually changed nothing except the depth of secrecy in ever enlarging circles of incredible activities. As the opportunities for covert actions abroad dwindled and were thwarted, those with careers based in clandestine methods were increasingly tempted to turn their talents inward against the citizens of the very nation they professed to serve. Nurtured in the adversary setting of the Cold War, shielded by secrecy, and spurred on by patriotism that views dissent as a threat to the national security, especially of the people against the "rulers", the clandestine operatives of the CIA gained even more capability, resources, experience--and inclination--to ply their skills increasingly on the domestic scene and through domestic avenues even when involved with outside factions.
What I feel about the need of clandestine intelligence gathering as being necessary for a nation against its enemies is not of point herein. Anything out of control of the laws of the people and the land is wrong--no matter what the needs of the Elite. This is not my story in point herein and, therefore, I shall tell you what the authors in point feel about it.
They state the following:
There can be no doubt that the gathering of intelligence is a necessary function of modern government. [H: Note: "modern government".] It makes a significant contribution to national security, and it is vital to the conduct of foreign affairs. Without an effective program to collect information and to analyze the capabilities and possible intentions of other major powers, the United States could neither have confidently negotiated nor could now abide by the S.A.L.T. agreements or achieve any measure of true detente with its international rivals. [H: I was wrong--I can't even finish the paragraph. You will note that all is based on the assumption that the government would work in honesty with integrity. What the cult of intelligence has done is forfeit and sell out your nations and cover the criminals until the dastardly deeds are done at whatever cost. The reason for recognizing this particular book is for its revelations--not its philosophical perception--for I consider the conclusions in philosophy to be in error. I see no way in which this type of structure can serve in honor for it is birthed from and by the criminal element in control. I do agree with their next statement regarding the book:]
The aim of this book is to provide the American people with the inside information which they need--and to which they without question have the right--to understand the significance of this issue and the importance of dealing with it.
[H: As we write keep in mind that this book was written in 1973 and this JOURNAL in 1992. If you keep that in mind you will be able to bridge the interim years with better clarity and insight.]
Even Harry Truman questioned the CIA and its non-controllability: Dec. 1963: "For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational arm and at times a policy-making arm of the Government."
