TODAY'S WATCH

ISRAEL/LEBANON

Please do not take the immediate situation lightly wherein Israel is deliberately taking out leaders of the opposition along with women and children. This war is INTENDED TO ESCALATE into widespread encounter along with hap-penings in the U.S. Government election campaigns. If it continues to look bad for the controller in the U.S. it will be-come "nuclear". HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE TO RECLAIM YOUR GOVERNMENT AND SALVAGE YOUR PLANET-- YOU MUST PRESS AHEAD AGAINST THIS MASSIVE CONSPIRACY.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PRIMARIES

You have a chance if you latch onto it like glue. It is shown that "the people" are desiring change with the support of Buchanan and YOU CAN SWEEP THE NATION IF YOU PAY AT-TENTION RIGHT NOW TO THAT WHICH IS SET IN MO-TION. As a matter of fact, chelas--even Jerry Brown of Cali-fornia has the right idea for turning things around.

So what of Gritz? Do I abandon Gritz? NO, NO AND NO. LOOK AT YOUR OPPORTUNITIES HEREIN! The POINT of this maneuver is to get more than one dedicated worker into the slots--not just one to stand alone against a fixed and bribed Congress. Each candidate, including Gritz, will have some flaws in intent and areas yet to be uncovered for them in the revealing of the lies and criminals in office NOW. I remind you--to not be distracted--Bush plans on a secure position, beyond Criminal indictment on past actions, in the United Nations. He knows he will fall if elected to the Presidency. He shouts he will no longer be "kinder and gentler to Buchanan but will show him who is who!" I believe his words to be. This is such a psychological victory for Buchanan in the political arena beyond your hopes. HOWEVER--IT ALSO SPEEDS UP THE NEC-ESSARY EMERGENCIES, WARS, ETC., WITH WHICH TO MAINTAIN POWER. IT HAS TO COME, CHILDREN, SO DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED FOR YOU KNOW YOUR FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY ARE LOST IF YOU CHANGE NOT.

I am petitioned again and again this day as to "Well, what do we do now?" Note that no Independent candidate was even mentioned in all the ravings of the press, etc. If anyone can WIN the election other than through "fluke" it is Buchanan. More-over, he knows the running of politics and our beloved friend "Bo" is NOT A POLITICIAN. BUT--CAN ANYONE OUT THERE SEE THE WONDROUS MERIT IN A TEAM SUCH AS BUCHANAN/GRITZ?? No, I have not spoken about this with Commander Gritz. But if his intent is where his mouth is-- HE HAS VOWED TO SERVE WHERE HE CAN AND ANY WAY HE CAN MAKE THE MOST IMPACT. How many of you realize that the Vice Presidency rather automatically takes over the "SPACE PROGRAM"? Can you not see how strong your government can be if you would have a coalition of these outstanding idealists and practical functional leaders in office--ALL! RIGHT IN THE TOP ADMINISTRATION SLOTS!! Ones like Perot, and Brown, and other patriots could then be brought in to strengthen the fiber of the leadership and THEN YOU CAN TURN YOUR NATION ABOUT.

Will it be in time to save the masses of people destined under the iron fist from depopulation and poverty? No, for the Conspirators PLAN is already speeded up in order to insure their destruction against millions of "victims". But--they would be required to back off from America to a great extent or have total destruction--along with themselves also. If you do not do it NOW--you will NEVER BE ABLE TO GET IT DONE IN THE NEXT GENERATIONS IMMEDIATELY TO COME--FOR THE PLAN IS IN OPERATION ALREADY--YOU JUST DIDN'T NOTICE.

So, what would "I" do? I abhor your politics and shudder at the very inquiry, but you are stuck with this system until such time as you can reclaim your rightful place under the protection of your Constitution and clean up your Judicial system and sweep the vermin from the nests of incestuous treason. I would push a massive support network for the frontrunner who runs on a mas­sive cleaning of the system. At this juncture it is Buchanan. His flaws and misunderstandings can be rectified for his intent is proper in spite of the massive assault against him. Then, I would begin two campaigns--get Gritz KNOWN everywhere about the place--support him to the point of allowing him to be THE BEST KNOWN WARRIOR IN THE MILITARY ARENA SO THAT THE DIRT CAN BE CLEANED FROM THE CAR­PETS OF THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES AND MILI­TARY CONSPIRACIES. IN THE SAME PUSH I WOULD DEMAND A MEETING OF THESE TWO FINE MEN AND PERHAPS OTHERS--BUT MAKE A SINGULAR THRUST SO AS NOT TO DISTORT PURPOSE. DEMAND THAT A "TEAM" BE ELECTED AND NOT SOME POLITICAL BROTHER IN "DEBT" FOR SERVICE. AMERICA, YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO--THE PATH HAS BEEN SHOWN--BUT YOU MUST WALK IT.

If you voters remain divided and set in cement--you will only allow the election of the very enemy himself--again. You see, the conspirators of the U.N. NEED PUPPETS IN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO PULL OFF THE REMAINDER OF THE FULL PLAN.

Look what a fine opportunity to place a person such as Perot into a slot of REAL OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE IN A POSI­TION WHICH IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PRESIDENCY--INTO THE POSITION OF REVAMPING YOUR INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS.

WHAT OF IACOCCA? SPARE ME, CHELAS. You herein have a man who raises such horrendous claims against Japan and goes forth and shouts "Buy American" and then places his full revival on an automobile which is totally built in Canada. Well, he can smile, and does so, and says with a grin, "...well, you know, I could do that because Canada is part of the Ameri­cas." Are you not filled to overflow with this LIE!? THE FULL THRUST IS TO TURN BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER--AMERICAN OF ANY LINEAGE AGAINST THE JAPANESE AMERICAN--a rerun of World War II. Can you not see what is being done to you as a nation?

Forget where Truth comes from at this point--just, for goodness sakes, see and hear the Truth and the rest will take care of itself. Ultimately you will come again under God as a nation or you shall move into the destruction of the nation. This, I can promise you!

You must, further, take the steps in the sequence presented unto you--as they come. Without a change in government, all the other plans at hand fall to the wayside. If the Constitution is overridden and set aside for any reason, the government auto­matically becomes puppet-master without ability to return to Constitutional foundation. In that event, there can be no service through the Law Center, the industrial growth, agriculture through advanced methods and thus and so. You will be totally stuck in that which is thrust upon you--WHILE YOUR CITI­ZENS ARE EXTERMINATED THROUGH DISEASE AND FAMINE.

It is time to set aside all political bigotry along party lines and get in line for ONE THING--getting someone who at least claims to be on your team. If you do this and set it properly--HE WILL HAVE TO SERVE YOU PROPERLY FOR YOU CAN AGAIN TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY. Nei­ther must you ask only ONE MAN to do it all--for in this system of spider webs--he cannot. You also need a team that, quite frankly, if one is pulled down, you have another to fill the va­cancy. Many of the most wondrous of leaders have no notion about God and that which awaits you as the prophecies of God are fulfilled.

JOSHUA AND HATONN

I was asked, just this day, if I were by any chance the tall being who came and walked and worked with Joshua. Indeed. I was presented with a "sword" according to your books--It was not a sword, it was the staff of life! I will further give you a bit of humor for your daily meditation--I told him to pull down the wall of Jericho through harmonic vibrations and one of the tru­isms which has remained is THAT THEY FELL IN A HEAP. You are going to find it most difficult to deny me for very much longer, chelas--for indeed, I have been around for a very long time in your counting! So be it.

A BIT ON BANKING

How many of you are aware that TODAY there is absolute chaos and horror in Citibank? They have to come up with about a BILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS WITHIN THESE IMMEDIATE FEW DAYS OR, OR - - -! THEY DO NOT HAVE IT!!! ANY OF YOU WITH MONEY IN CITIBANK­-I SUGGEST YOU GET IT OUT--LAST WEEK!

ADL--OWNS "STERLING NATIONAL BANK"

Remember--the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a recognized tool of Zionism, is a "British Intelligence Operation". It is also integrated within the organized crime cohorts of National Crime Syndicate boss Meyer Lansky. This is WELL DOCUMENTED as are its ties to the international drug cartel. The ADL is still widely thought to be a legitimate civil rights organization "combatting anti-Semitism" group. That is pure fraud and you had best know it.

You must realize that one of the oldest and strongest ties be­tween the ADL and the National Crime Syndicate centers around one of the mob's favorite New York City banks, the Sterling National Bank. The biggy is in New York City (center for Zionism)--Sterling National. It was founded in 1929 by one of Meyer Lansky's closest syndicate associates, Frank Erickson. Erickson was one of Lansky's chief money handlers. After the November 1926 murder of Arnold Rothstein, the predecessor to Lansky as the "brains" of the Jewish mob, Lansky personally ar­ranged for Erickson to take over the management of the syndi­cate's nationwide bookmaking operations. Erickson was Lansky's money handler in several major business ventures, in­cluding Lansky's hidden ownership of racetracks in Florida and casinos in Nevada, according to Lansky biographer Hank Mes­sick.

Sterling National Bank was also the syndicate's "factor" bank in the New York City garment center--doling out high-interest short-term loans to enable the thousands of small clothing man­ufacturers to purchase raw materials. The loans were collater­alized by the garment companies' Accounts Receivable. It as a quasi-legal form of loan sharking--enforced with Syndicate mus­cle. Erickson's relationship to Meyer Lansky gave Sterling Na­tional virtually unchallenged control over the garment center.

To shorten this story, just KNOW that Sterling National Bank is the ADL's bank! ADL financial records on file with the Inter­nal Revenue Service, up through 1976, show that Sterling Na­tional Bank and Standard Financial Corporation were the only outside institutions in which the ADL made any investments (with an exception when they invested $5,000 in the American Bank and Trust Company, headed by ADL National Commis­sioner and one-time B'nai B'rith international president Philip Klutznick). They never allowed such a slip to occur again.

Worse, there is no major effort to keep the ties to the Crime Syndicate hidden. The point is, you see, confuse the issues which in turn hide the operations. They launder massive amounts of drug money for the ADL. Even inside looting was and is prevalent and public legal accusations come and go of looting and "laundering" ADL money.

One such case revolves around Marvin Tallerman who could outdo Keating, Boesky and Milken all lumped together. In one operation he simply converted $880,000 of his company's assets into a letter of credit which was issued to a dummy company in New Jersey which HE OWNED. This was then funnelled off into accounts off-shore in Panama and Switzerland. Tallerman did this over and over and finally defaulted on some known loans and was able to make off with all the hidden funds in cash. He nicely and loyally named buddies as co-conspirators. ISN'T IT TIME FOR A HOUSECLEANING, AMERICA? WORLD?

AMERICA WEST BOOK CATALOGS

I have requested that America West, in making their catalogs available unto you readers, do me a favor. I asked that no other material, other than that which I offer and approve, be listed in the catalog of Phoenix publications carried by America West. I herein now ask that John Coleman's book be featured in both catalogs--NUMBER ONE IN THE PHOENIX LISTINGS. IT IS THAT IMPORTANT FROM A STANDPOINT OF UN­DERSTANDING YOUR ENEMY IN THE CATEGORY OF WORLD DOMINATION. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE UNCOVERING OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IN YOUR NATION CALLED THE CIA--BUT I CONSIDER, FROM EARTH FUNCTIONING STANDPOINT, COLE­MAN'S BOOK TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT "HUMAN" INPUT YOU WILL EVER HAVE. YOU MUST KNOW YOUR ENEMY BY WHATEVER NAME HE MAY BE CUR­RENTLY CALLING HIMSELF. IT IS NOT THE ONLY BOOK--IT IS ONLY THE "FIRST". LET US GET PAST THIS UNCOVERING AND RECOGNIZE THE ENEMY AND THEN WE CAN GET ON WITH THE WONDROUS EXPE­RIENCES AWAITING YOU AS YOU INTEGRATE WITH THE COSMOS AND YOUR COSMIC BRETHREN! KNOW THAT WITH GOD--ALL IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT MUST COME TO PASS!

Dharma, several days ago we had almost finished an article regarding the KGB. We had such a wondrous time seeing through the glass clearly that which is most clouded. I am sorry to have had the interruption but we have had several of the most over­filled days imaginable since we began the writing. We have to walk and work one day at a time for we, too, are bound by our physical counterparts.

I have had several group and semi-private meetings lately--I would ask you who gather in groups to discuss and share mate­rial and opinions about the areas of our readership--ask about getting such tapes. We will have a phone speaker "gathering" on Saturday of this week. I have pages of questions--all reflec­tive of all of you. We do not have "professional" shows and tells--we get right to business and hopefully I can respond and "caution" in those sessions.

I must write the JOURNALS in a sequence most fitting but I know your eagerness to see and hear regarding that which is covered in the JOURNALS but you don't get to fully under­stand. I am not allowing ones off their responsibility of home­work with the books--I cannot cause informed readers who work at this every moment available--to be bogged by personal and intentional delays of our work. No one has to believe a word of my presentation if they so choose. I, further, don't wish to comment or discern about other sources, speakers, energies or such--if you utilize the facts and guidelines--it is so much better to discern for self for--no matter what I respond to you--you will form your own opinion at any rate. Many channels have simply fallen away and/or have totally different focus than do we in this area and project center. You also must understand that there is great reason that ones' very intent in solving healing problems and creating "frequency" machines and finding free energy sup­ply are not going to be fulfilled. This is because these things have been created and placed on your globe and taken by the Elite controllers. There is no need to reinvent a wheel only to have it stolen and smashed. Impatience is the curse of humans seeking to serve. If you have "karma" to pay, most of you will find it in learning PATIENCE and WAITING UPON THE LORD. A babe must first turn over and see possibilities, then "lizard" his way to hands and knees, then crawl a bit, then faster--then stand and hold to that which is stable--then finally and haltingly--step forth--usually to fall many times. Then, in wondrous growth come the steps sure and stable in the walk, then the jog, then the run--and finally, chelas--YE SHALL FLY! SO BE IT.

At any rate, if any of you "groups" would wish to meet with the tapes, ask and let us see how we can best serve to meet those needs. I do not consider this group who gathers in a room with Dharma--my only crew--you ones out there are not THAT lucky!! Neither do you need the confusion of dozens of speakers from which to effort to decide "Truth". However, I have purposely kept you a bit unincluded so that you WOULD CON-TINUE TO GAIN INFORMATION FROM ALL SOURCES--it is only in the comparison can the discernment come, in fact. Truth will stand alone and you will be able to find the total contradictions and the "right" input will be innately known unto you. We fear no comparison. If the one who presents in-formation gives you secret "orders", secret anything, hierarchical "royalty" and ALLOWS ANY ACTIONS IN HOLY SANCTIONING WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF GOD IN TOTAL--THEY ARE FALSE! GOD ALLOWS ERRORS-- HE DOES NOT REMOVE THE LAWS! THE GUIDELINES ARE SIMPLE, FEW AND SUCCINCT--IF ONES PRESENT OTHERWISE--THEY ARE FALSE. MAY YOUR INSIGHT ALWAYS BE BLEST WITHOUT LIMITS THAT YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY FOR ALL WE ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF, ARE WAYSHOWERS--YOU MUST WALK THE PATH.

So, Dharma, let us pick up the article right where we left off, with no more attention to it--it only needs completion so that the "thought" might find completion. Thank you.

SPY VS. SPY; DEFECTOR DESCRIBES
HIS LIFE INSIDE THE SOVIET KGB
Wall Street Journal: Wed. , Feb. 12, 1992

Continued:

'NORMAL' WORK

Instead, the focus was on secondary sources. He would recruit a local employee of a U.S. Embassy, for example, and ex-tract telephone directories or State Department publications that were combed for information. He also cultivated agents the KGB dubbed "special unofficial contacts"--officials of a foreign government who weren't paid but were befriended and persuaded to pass on information about their own contacts with the U. S .

If cash was needed to buy information, it was readily avail-able. He (Mikhail) says he never paid more than a few thou-sand dollars, but even amid the recent Soviet economic crisis he heard a senior KGB official tell field officers that "If you need money for a worthy target, we will find it."

Though he felt no fervor for Communism, Mikhail prospered because he found the work intellectually stimulating. "It was daily, routine work of gathering intelligence, which was all right with me," says Mikhail. "It was something every country needed. It was normal."

Besides ferreting out information about the U.S., another prime KGB goal was simply to disrupt U.S. foreign policy. In doing that, "I tried to use more or less acceptable methods," Mikhail says. In one case, he attempted to disrupt the work of a U.S. diplomat by sending him concocted threatening letters in the name of a sinister national liberation movement.

Mikhail's overseas jobs were alternated with stints at Moscow headquarters, and he rose to a management-level position in the KGB. But by 1990, Mikhail says, unsettling trends inside the KGB made him decide to get out. While Mr. Gorbachev was publicly working with the U.S. and talking of glas­nost and peristroika, a series of directives from KGB headquar­ters to the field sent opposing signals.

New restrictions were placed on agents' contacts with U.S. officials. One cable told spies to set up espionage efforts against the West because "hostile" forces were using the changed inter­national climate to "undermine the socialist nature of the U.S.S.R. " , Mikhail recalls.

ZERO DECREASE IN SPIES

At his last overseas post, Mikhail was ordered for the first time to carry out an operation against an American using meth­ods that "could be harmful to his physical well-being." He ar­gued with his superior and watered down the instructions, then carried out the job. [H: Come come now--if you can believe this incredible lying, then I am truly disappointed and "throw in the towel". These men thrive on "take-downs" and "take-outs" and murder intrigue. Surely by now you can SEE the article for what it is--a massive display staged by the CIA and planted for your consumption. The KGB NICE?? Oh my--so was Atilla the Hun!] But he had decided to jump. He got in touch with an American friend and carefully planned a covert escape in 1990. He came under the CIA's wing, and the agency now is trying to help him establish a new life in the U.S.

Despite a housecleaning at the top, Mikhail says, the KGB spy bureaucracy lives on and has simply moved inside the Rus­sian government. He estimates that "90% to 95% of middle management are still in the positions they had before the coup." A senior U.S. official, in fact, says he has seen "zero" decrease in the number of Russian intelligence agents working in the U.S.

For now, U.S. analysts doubt that the remnants of the KGB pose an immediate threat to Russia's democratic and economic reforms. The KGB foreign intelligence division isn't much of a political force right now. Meanwhile, the KGB's internal secu­rity apparatus has been broken up and Boris Yeltsin's efforts to rebuild a big Russian internal security service so far have been slowed by the parliament.

Oleg Kalugin, a former KGB general who bolted from the agency, says the spy service is struggling these days simply to pay its spies, and was late in meeting its November and Decem­ber payroll. Yet he worries that the remaining intelligence ap­paratus is "perhaps the most reactionary organization" in Russia.

Mikhail is more blunt: "The old guard will be regrouping," he warns.

END OF QUOTING

INDEED! THEY NEVER "UN-GROUPED". THEY SIM­PLY HAVE FOUND APPROPRIATE REASON TO "GIVE THE PUBLIC" FOR TOTALLY INFILTRATING YOUR NA­TION AND REPLACING THE CIA.

I believe, since this has grown so lengthy for a segment, that we might have a rest and then take up anew with the CIA and IMA's accounting. We must move on through this information for I have full outlay of George Bush to lay on you. It is so massive a job to get it all into your hands but we shall do the best we can. It becomes a real "toss-up" as to which is more important as to sequence. But I really want you informed about this George Bush and his lineage before election time. We shall simply do the best we can and ask you to bear with us.

Hatonn to stand-by until you are ready to continue, Dharma.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1992

Let us just move directly and rapidly into the subject which seems to be dragging on to great length. I trust you readers can sort and mentally arrange the material. There is simply too much of urgent matter to forsake the daily comments into your attention. This is the reason for structuring the material into JOURNALS, not unlike a "Captain's Log", with date and time so that you can relate to the information timely. I remind you that our thrust is in no wise literary excellence but rather a gath­ering of urgently necessary information into your hands for use and action.

Continuation of:

CIA AND THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY "IMA" 1974

MACHINE DOMINATED INFORMATION AGENCY

Contrary to the National Security Act of 1947, the CIA today (1974) does not in fact perform the function of "coordinating the intelligence activities of the several governmental departments and agencies". For a time during the early 1950's the DCI did manage some degree of control over the other agencies but in the years that followed came the technological explosion in in­telligence and with it the tremendous expansion of the commu­nity. The spying trade was transformed--everywhere but at the CIA--from a fairly small, agent-oriented profession to a ma­chine-dominated information-gathering enterprise of almost boundless proportions. Technical collection, once a relatively minor activity in which gentlemen did read other gentlemen's mail, blossomed into a wide range of activities including COMINT (communications intelligence), SIGINT (signal intel­ligence), PHOTINT (photographic intelligence), ELINT (electronic intelligence), and RADINT (radar intelligence). Data was obtained by highly sophisticated equipment on planes, ships, submarines, orbiting and stationary space satellites, radio and electronic intercept stations, and radars--some the size of three football fields strung together. The sensors, or devices, used for collection consisted of high-resolution and wide-angle cameras, infrared cameras, receivers for intercepting microwave transmissions and telemetry signals, side-looking and over-the-­horizon radars, and other even more exotic contrivances. [H: Please pause a moment and consider what has been accom­plished in the last two decades since the writing of this book. It becomes beyond the incredible! However, it can give you confirmation and a better balance of understanding to know what WAS at given intervals in your recent past so that you can grasp the growth and magnitude of the technology now operable and capable for use against you by the Elite Con­spirators. It also allows you to realize that information was brought forth for your informing but has been squelched and hidden and intentionally not allowed circulation into your attention. This also becomes obvious why the attack against the ALLOWANCE OF PUBLIC OPINION AGAINST AN ORTHODOX PROJECTION BY WAY OF LAWS. lit is a long way beyond "serious", dear ones--it is critical and the bindings under-way.]

TECHNOCRATS AND MANAGERS

The proliferation of technical collection has also had a sig­nificant influence on the personnel makeup of the intelligence community. The mountains of information received gave rise to a variety of highly specialized data processors; cryptanalysis, traffic analysts, photographic interpreters, and telemetry, radar, and signal analysts, who convert the incomprehensible bleeps and squawks intercepted by their machines into forms usable by the substantive intelligence analysts. And it has created a new class of technocrats and managers who conceive, develop, and supervise the operation of systems so secret that only a few thousand (sometimes only a couple of hundred) have high enough security clearances to see the finished intelligence prod­uct. [H: Does it not now become more reasonable that we have ones such as Dharma as translators and "decoders"? Also I hope it makes it more clearly reasonable to you read­ers WHY we restrict the outlay of this type of information to the very, very minimum numbers of receivers. This is not to "put-down" other speakers--but the very purpose of focus is to stop the confusion as to material being presented. I re­mind you--the "Master" you await is NOT on your planet in human form at this time so STOP SPECULATION AS TO "WHO" HE MIGHT BE!!! If ones proclaim in presence in human physical format--they are misinformed and are mis­informing YOU! KNOW THAT GOD HAS REASONS FOR THAT WHICH HE DOES AND IT IS TO COUNTER THE CONFUSION SET FORTH BY THE KING OF DECEIT AND CONFUSION. I am continually solicited to speak on such ones as "Lord Maitreya" and others. No--you discern according to that which I give you--read all information as presented to the limit of time capabilities and you will have your answer for self. I would point out regarding that spe­cific inquiry--Benjamin Creme has not been correct so far and the mark of a true prophet is "100% correct EVERY TIME" . Cheating does not help and if ones tell you specifi­cally a time and place of happening--realize that one is "guessing" because all things are subject to possibilities of change according to actions within manifestations.

You also ask about Krishnamurti and this becomes even more easily recognized as a problem--IF YOU GO READ ABOUT KRISHNAMURTI AND HOW AND WHO SET HIM UP AS A "MASTER OF SOME SORT". YOU WILL FIND KRISHNAMURTI CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE MASONIC ORDER OF THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY! SO BE IT.]

TECHNICAL INFORMATION VALUABLE

The information collected by the technical systems constitutes the most valuable data available to U.S. intelligence. Without it, there would be no continuing reliable way for government to determine with confidence the status of foreign--especially So­viet and Chinese--strategic military capabilities. Without it, also, there would have been no agreement with the Soviet Union in 1972 for the limitations of strategic armaments, since that pact was absolutely dependent on each side being confident that it could monitor new military developments--even possible cheating--on the other side through its own satellites and other surveillance equipment.

U-2 SPY PLANES

The first advanced overhead-reconnaissance systems--the U-2 spy planes and the early satellites in the late 1950's and early 1960's--provided valuable information about the Soviet Union, but their successes only whetted the appetites of U.S. military planners, who had so long been starved for good intelligence on America's main adversary. Once they got a taste of the fruits of technical collection, they demanded more specific and more fre­quent reporting on the status of the Soviet armed forces. And the technicians, with nearly unlimited funds at their disposal, obliged them, partly because the technicians themselves had a natural desire to expand the state of their art.

A complementary circle of military intelligence requirements and technical collection methods evolved. Collection responded to requirements and, in turn, generated still further demands for information, which resulted in the development of yet bigger and better collection systems. If some particular type of data could somehow be collected, invariably one or another part of the Pentagon would certify that it was needed, and a new tech­nical system for gathering it would be developed. The prevail­ing ethic became collection for collection's sake.

McCONE vs. McNAMARA

In the infant years of the technological explosion, Allen Dulles paid scant attention to technical collection's potential as an intelligence tool. He was far more interested in clandestine operations and the overthrowing of foreign governments. After the Bay of Pigs debacle in 1961 cut short Dulles' career as DCI, his successor, John McCone, soon grasped the importance of the new information-gathering systems. He tried to reassert the CIA's leadership position in this area, and as part of his effort he created the Directorate for Science and Technology and recruited a brilliant young scientist, Albert "Bud" Wheelon, to head the component. But try as he might, the tenacious, hard-driving McCone could not cope with the Pentagon juggernaut, then under the direction of Robert McNamara, who energetically supported the military services in their efforts to gain maximum control of all technical collection. McCone was forced to conclude that the battle with the Defense Department was lost and tine trend toward Pentagon domination was irreversible. This was one of the reasons that McCone resigned in 1965 (another being, in McCone's view, President Johnson's lack of appreciation for strategic intelligence such as the National Intelligence Estimates).

McCone was followed by Admiral William Raborn, whose ineffective tour as DCI was mercifully ended after only fourteen months, to the relief of all members of the intelligence community.

CIA OVERSHADOWED

Richard Helms took over the CIA in the spring of 1966. Like Dulles, he was much more interested in the cloak-and-dagger field, where he had spent his entire career, than in the machines that had revolutionized the intelligence trade. Although he was Director of Central Intelligence, not just the head of CIA, Helms rarely challenged the Pentagon on matters regarding technical collection--or, for that matter, intelligence analysis--until, belatedly, his last years as DCI. As a result, during his directorship the CIA was completely overshadowed by the other agencies in all intelligence activities other than covert operations, and even here the military made deep inroads.

Richard Helms clearly understood the bureaucratic facts of life. He knew all too well that he did not have Cabinet status and thus was not the equal of the Secretary of Defense, the man ultimately responsible for the military intelligence budget.

Helms simply did not have the power to tell the Pentagon that the overall needs of U.S. intelligence (which were, of course, his responsibility as DCI) demanded that the military cut back on a particular spying program and spend the money elsewhere. Since managing the intelligence community did not interest him very much anyway, only on a few occasions did he make the effort to exercise some measure of influence over the other agencies outside the CIA.

TOO MUCH INTELLIGENCE

In 1967 Helms was urged by his staff to authorize an official review of intelligence collection by community members, with special emphasis on the many technical collection systems. However, Helms was reluctant to venture far into this highly complex, military-controlled field, and decided only to authorize a study of the CIA's "in-house" needs. He named an experienced senior agency officer, Hugh Cunningham, to head the small group picked to make the study. Cunningham, a former Rhodes scholar [H: Clue!! This absolutely identifies him as a conspirator within the command of the Committee of 300.] had previously served in top positions with the Clandestine Ser-vices and on the Board of National Estimates. With his broad experience, he seemed to agency insiders to be an ideal choice to carry out the review. After several months of intense investigation, he and his small group concluded--this was the first sentence of their report--"The United States intelligence community collects too much information." They found that there was a large amount of duplication in the collection effort, with two or more agencies often spending great amounts of money to amass essentially the same data, and that much of the information collected was useless for anything other than low-level intelligence analysis. The study noted that the glut of raw data was clogging the intelligence system and making it difficult for the analysts to separate out what was really important and to produce thoughtful material for the policy-makers. The study also observed that the overabundance of collection resulted in an excess of finished intelligence reports, many of which were of little use in the formulation of national policy; there simply were too many reports on too many subjects for the high-level policy-makers .to cope with.

HELMS SUPPRESSES CUNNINGHAM CIA STUDY

The Cunningham study caused such consternation in the CIA that Helms refused to disseminate it to the other intelligence agencies. Several of his deputies complained bitterly about the study's critical view of their own directorates and the way it seemed to diminish the importance of their work. Since the study was even harsher in dealing with the military's intelligence programs, Helms was further unwilling to risk the Pentagon's wrath by circulating it within the intelligence community. He decided to keep the controversial report within the CIA.

Always the master bureaucrat, Helms resorted to the time-honored technique of forming another special study group to re­view the work of the first group. He organized a new commit­tee, the Senior Executive Group, to consider in general terms the CIA's managerial problems. The SEG's first job was to look over the Cunningham study but its members were hardly fitted to the task. They were the chiefs of the agency's four di­rectorates, each of which had been heavily criticized in the original study; the Executive Director (the CIA's number-three man), a plodding, unimaginative former support officer; and--as chairman--the Deputy DCI, Admiral Rufus Taylor, a career naval officer. After several prolonged meetings, the SEG de­cided, not surprisingly, that the study on collection was of only marginal value and therefore not to be acted on in any signifi­cant way. A short time later Cunningham was transferred to the Office of Training, one of the CIA's administrative Siberias. The SEG never met again.

Although Richard Helms showed little talent for manage­ment--and even less interest in it--during his years as DCI he did make some efforts to restrict the, expansion of the intelligence community. One such try was successful. It occurred in the late 1960's when Helms refused to give his approval for further development work on the Air Force's extremely expensive manned orbiting laboratory (MOL), which was then being pro­moted as being, among other things, an intelligence-collection system. Without Helms' endorsement, the Air Force was un­able to convince the White House of the need for the project, and it was subsequently dropped by the Johnson Administration. (Some Air Force officials viewed Helms' lack of support as re­taliation for the Air Force's "capture" in 1967 of the SR-71 re­connaissance plane, which the CIA had originally developed and would have preferred to keep under its direct control, but this criticism was probably unfair. Helms simply seemed to be go­ing along with the strong pressure in the Johnson Administration to cut costs because of the Vietnam War, and saw the MOL as a particularly vulnerable--and technically dubious--program in a period of tight budgets.)

PENTAGON MORE POWERFUL THAN CIA

Helms was always a realist about power within the govern­ment and he recognized that, except in a rare case like that of the MOL, he simply did not have the clout to prevent the introduction of most new technical collection systems. He also un­derstood that the full force of the Pentagon was behind these projects--as redundant or superfluous as they often were--and that if he concentrated his efforts on trying to eliminate or even reduce unproductive and outdated systems, he was making ene­mies who could undercut his own pet clandestine projects over­seas. But even the few efforts he did bring against these obvi­ously wasteful systems failed (save that against the MOL), demonstrating vividly that the true power over budgets in the in­telligence community lies with the Pentagon, not the Director of Central Intelligence.

THE EATON STUDY

In 1967, for example, Helms asked Frederick Eaton, a prominent and conservative New York lawyer, to conduct a re­view of the National Security Agency. For some time the NSA's cost-effectiveness as a contributor to the national intelli­gence effort had been highly suspect within the community, especially in view of the code-breaking agency's constantly growing budget, which had then risen over the billion-dollar mark. Eaton was provided with a staff composed of officials from several intelligence offices, including the CIA, the State Department, and the Pentagon, and this staff accumulated sub­stantial evidence that much of the NSA's intelligence collection was of little or marginal use to the various intelligence con­sumers in the community. But Eaton, after extensive consulta­tion with Pentagon officials, surprised his own staff by recom­mending no reductions and concluding that all of the NSA's programs were worthwhile. The staff of intelligence profes­sionals rebelled, and Eaton had to write the conclusions of the review himself.

The lesson of the Eaton study was clear within the intelli­gence community. The NSA was widely recognized as the community member most in need of reform, and the profession­als who had studied the matter recommended substantial change in its programs. Yet Helms' effort to improve the supersecret agency's performance through the Eaton study accomplished nothing, and if the Director of Central Intelligence could not, as the professionals said, "get a handle on" the NSA, then it was highly unlikely that he could ever influence the expanding pro­grams of the other Pentagon intelligence agencies.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE BOARD

In 1968 Helms created another select inter-agency group at the insistence of his staff: the National Intelligence Resources Board (the forerunner of the Intelligence Resources Advisory Committee). Intended to bring about economies in the commu­nity by cutting certain marginal programs, the NIRB had more bureaucratic power than any of its predecessors because it was chaired by the Deputy Director of the CIA and had as members the directors of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. It immedi­ately decided to take a new look at the NSA's programs and it singled out a particular communications-intercept program, costing millions of dollars a year, as particularly wasteful. The NIRB had found that nearly all intelligence analysts within the community who had access to the results of the NSA program believed the data to be of little or no use. These findings were related to Paul Nitze, then Deputy Secretary of Defense, with the recommendations that the program be phased out. (The final decision on continuing the NSA program, of course, had to be made in the Pentagon, since the NSA is a military intelligence agency.) Nitze did nothing with the recommendation for several months. Then, as he was leaving office in January 1969, he sent a letter to Helms thanking the DCI for his advice but in­forming him that approval had been given by Pentagon decision-makers to continue the dubious project. And despite the NIRB's overwhelming arguments against the project, Nitze did not even bother to list any reasons why the Pentagon chose not to concur with the decision of the Director of Central Intelligence.

HELMS HELPLESS AS DCI

In the wake of such defeats, Helms gave up on making at­tempts at managing the intelligence community. At one point, months later, he observed to his staff that while he, as DCI, was theoretically responsible for 100 percent of the nation's intelli­gence activities, he in fact controlled less than 15 percent of the community's assets--and most of the other 85 percent belonged to the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Under such circumstances, Helms concluded, it was unrealistic for any DCI to think that he could have a significant influence on U.S. intelligence-resource decisions or the shaping of the intelligence community. [H: Does it now seem a bit more clearly visible how and why General Powell and Cheney are so powerful? Moreover, they only have to turn to the President (Bush) who actually runs the whole shooting match to conclude whatever plans they wish to embark upon in action. This should scare the living daylights out of you-the-people!]

MELVIN LAIRD

But when the Nixon administration took over in 1969, some very powerful people, including Defense Secretary Melvin Laird and the President himself, became concerned about the seemingly uncontrolled expansion of the Pentagon's intelligence pro­grams. Laird said in his 1970 Defense budget statement:

Intelligence is both critical and costly. Yet we have found intelligence activities with management overlapping or nonexistent. Deficiencies have pro­voked criticism that became known even outside the intelligence community. These criticisms can be summarized in five principal points:

1. Our intelligence product was being evaluated poorly. (Some intelligence was not being evalu­ated at all and, as a result, a new concept, "the linear drawer foot", entered the English lan­guage. Translated from Pentagonese, this refers to the amount of paper needed to fill a file drawer one foot in length. A 1969 House Armed Ser­vices Committee report noted that the Southeast Asia office of the DIA alone had 517 linear drawer feet of unanalyzed raw intelligence locked in its vaults.)
2. Various intelligence-gathering activities over­lapped and there was no mechanism to eliminate the overlap.
3. There was no coordinated long-range program for resource management and programming.
4. Significant gaps in intelligence-gathering went unnoticed.
5. The intelligence community failed to maintain frank and unrestricted channels of internal com­munication.

THE PENTAGON: AN AMORPHOUS LUMP

That same year President Nixon appointed a "blue-ribbon" panel chaired by Gilbert W. Fitzhugh, chairman of the board of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, to conduct a review of the Defense Department's entire operations and organization. Fitzhugh declared at a July 1970 press conference that his in­vestigation showed that the Pentagon was "an impossible organi­zation to administer in its present form, just an amorphous lump". Then turning to military spying, he stated, "I believe that the Pentagon suffers from too much intelligence. They can't use what they get because there is too much collected. It would almost be better that they didn't have it because it's diffi­cult to find out what's important." The Fitzhugh panel recom­mended a series of economies in Pentagon espionage and also urged that a new post of Assistant Secretary of Defense for In­telligence be created. Under this proposal, the various military intelligence agencies, which previously had been scattered all over the Defense Department's organizational chart, were to be put under the authority of the new Assistant Secretary, who in turn would report to Secretary Laird.

THE HOUSE GETS IN THE ACT

By 1971, before the Fitzhugh recommendations were put into effect, the House Committee on Appropriations had become aware that military intelligence was in need of a shake-up. The committee released a little-noticed but blistering report which stated that "the intelligence operations of the Department of De­fense have grown beyond the actual needs of the Department and are now receiving an inordinate share of the fiscal resources of the Department." The congressional report continued, "Redundancy is the watch word of many intelligence opera­tions.... Coordination is less effective than it should be. Far more material is collected than is essential. Material is collected which cannot be evaluated...and is therefore wasted. New in­telligence means have become available...without offsetting re­ductions in old procedures." With these faults so obvious even to the highly conservative and military-oriented congressional committee, strong reform measures would have seemed to be in order. But little was done by the Congress to bring the intelli­gence community under control. The fear on Capitol Hill of vi­olating the sacred mystique of "national security" prevented any effective corrective action.

SECRET STUDY

Finally, in November 1971, after a secret review of the intelligence community carried out by the Office of Management and Budget's James Schlesinger, who would a year later be named Director of the CIA, the Nixon Administration announced "a number of management steps to improve the efficiency and effectiveness" of U.S. intelligence. The President reportedly had been grumbling for some time about the poor information furnished him by the intelligence community...Most recently he had been disturbed by the community's blunder in assuring that American prisoners were being held at the Son Tay Camp in North Vietnam which, during a dramatic rescue mission by U.S. commandos in 1970, was found to be empty. Nixon was also angered by the failure of intelligence to warn about the ferocity of the North Vietnamese response to the South Vietnamese invasion of Laos in early 1971. (In both these instances the faulty intelligence seems to have come from the Pentagon, although there are good reasons to believe that in the Son Tay case the President's political desire to make a show of support for the prisoners outweighed the strong possibility that no prisoners would be found there.) The President, as the nation's primary consumer of intelligence, felt that he had a right to expect better information.

INTELLIGENCE: A PRIVATE PRESIDENTIAL
PRESERVE

Whether a President takes great personal interest in intelligence, as Lyndon Johnson did, or, as in Nixon's case, delegates most of the responsibility to an aide (HENRY KISSINGER), the intelligence field remains very much a private presidential preserve. Congress has almost completely abdicated any control it might exercise. Thus, when President Nixon chose to revamp the intelligence structure in 1971, he did not even bother to consult in advance those few Congressmen who supposedly oversee the intelligence community.

The ostensible objective of the 1971 reorganization was to improve management of the intelligence community by giving the DCI "an enhanced leadership role...in planning, reviewing, coordinating, and evaluating all intelligence programs and activities, and in the production of national intelligence." Under the Nixon plan, the DCI's powers over the rest of the community for the first time included the right to review the budgets of the other members--an unprecedented step in the tribal federation of intelligence and one absolutely necessary to the exercise of any meaningful degree of control.

LET'S SHARE A BIT MORE OF KISSINGER

But with this very same plan to enhance the DCI's "leadership role", the President was also placing control over all U.S. intelligence squarely in the National Security Council staff, still headed today (1974) by HENRY KISSINGER , even after he also has become Secretary of State. Kissinger was put in charge of a new NSC Intelligence Committee which included as members the DCI, the Attorney General, the Under Secretary of State, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. [H: What a tangled web is woven when the creeping vines entwine and become all-inclusive.] This intelligence Committee was to "give direction and guidance on national intelligence needs and provide for a continuing evaluation of intelligence products from the viewpoint of the intelligence user." At the same time the President established another new body, called the Net Assessment Group, under Kissinger's control, to analyze U.S. military capabilities in comparison with those of the Soviets and Chinese as estimated by intelligence studies. Already chairman of the 40 Committee, [H: By the way the "40 Committee" idea and label is a direct offshoot of the "300 Committee"--just in case you have missed it so far.] which passes on all high-risk CIA cover operations, and the Verification Panel, which is responsible for monitoring the intelligence related to the S.A.L.T. negotiations and agreements, Kissinger, with his control now asserted over virtually all the NSC's key committees, had clearly emerged as the most powerful man in U.S. intelligence--as well as in American foreign policy.

Yet with Kissinger almost totally occupied with other mat­ters, the President clearly intended under his November 1971 reorganization that CIA Director Helms take over and improve the actual management of the intelligence community--under Kissinger's general supervision, to be sure. Partly because of the nearly impervious tribalism of the community and partly be­cause of Helms' pronounced lack of interest in management and technical matters, the shake-up had little effect on the well-en­trenched ways of the community. Much to the amazement of his staff, Helms did virtually nothing to carry out the wishes of the President as contained in the restructuring order.

Shortly after the 1972 election, Helms was fired by the Presi­dent as Director of Central Intelligence. According to his own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations committee, he wanted to stay on the job but that was not the wish of the White House. The President's dissatisfaction with Helms' manage­ment of the intelligence community was certainly a factor in his ouster, as perhaps were Helms' social connections with liberal Congressmen and journalists (some of whom were on the White House "enemies" list).

SCHLESINGER RULES ONLY FOUR MONTHS

From his earlier work at the Office of Management and Bud­get and the Rand Corporation, James Schlesinger appeared knowledgeable about the problems facing the community and moved quickly, once he arrived at the CIA to replace Helms, to set up the bureaucratic structures necessary to exercise control over the other intelligence agencies. He created a new Deputy Director for Community Relations and strengthened the Intelli­gence Resources Advisory Committee, but his four-month tenure was too short to bring about any large-scale reform. And nothing in the record of his successor, William Colby--a clan­destine operator for thirty years--indicates that he has either the management skills or the inclination to bring the spiraling growth of the intelligence community under control.

THE CIA IS SIMPLY A COVERT
ACTION MACHINE

Clearly, the CIA is not the hub, nor is its Director the head, of the vast U.S. intelligence community. The sometimes glam­orous, incorrigibly clandestine agency is merely a part of a much larger interdepartmental federation dominated by the Pentagon. And although the Director of Central Intelligence is nominally designated by each President in turn as the govern­ment's chief intelligence advisor, he is in fact overshadowed in the realities of Washington's politics by both the Secretary of Defense and the President's own Assistant for National Security Affairs, as well as by several lesser figures, such as the Chair­man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Nevertheless, agency directors and the CIA itself have managed to survive, and at times even flourish in the secret bureaucratic jungle because of the one highly specialized contribution to the national intelligence effort. The CIA's primary task is not to coordinate the efforts of U.S. intelligence or even to produce finished national intelligence for the policy-makers. Its job is, for better or worse, to conduct the government's covert foreign policy.

Dharma, I wish to speak just briefly about our "jumping" around so much within a given subject--seemingly getting com­pletely sidetracked. We must integrate important factors as we move along and as the public is focused on particular instances or happenings. For instance, with the "JFK" motion picture so popularized, I must remind you that "I" told you that both NIXON AND BUSH were completely involved. I further told you that the Watergate "break-in" was to retrieve very damaging photos of these two which would prove collusion in the as­sassination.

I think it would be appropriate to insert a writing regarding Bush at the time of the Bay of Pigs and the Kennedy assassination. Although it is out of sequence a bit for the immediate timing of the writing at point--it is highly important and totally in point. You see it was claimed that George Bush was not active in the CIA at the time of the assassination--forget it! His name even turns up in the personal address book of one of the most impor­tant personages of the time: De Mohrenschildt--who was Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA control officer!!!

So on this note, allow us some rest and hopefully, the readers will be able to digest some of this information.

Hatonn to clear, please.
