July 1947 Roswell, New Mexico. Wreckage of an unknown craft litters a field measuring almost a mile long and hundreds of yards wide. The U.S. Army sends trucks filled with soldiers to the location. Their mission, to secure and retrieve everything from the crash site. The military initially calls the craft a flying disc in a press release. The Army quickly recants the UFO story, and a press conference is scheduled in which the media is told that the wreckage is nothing more than a weather balloon. But according to many UFO researchers, at the same time the press is distracted with supposedly fake debris, the actually Roswell wreckage, and possibly other retrieved items, are taken under military control. They are surreptitiously flown almost 1500 miles away to a military base in Dayton Ohio called Wright Field. According to UFO legend, its precise destination is a hangar on the base, Hangar 18.

For more than half a century, similar stories have surfaced about UFO wreckage, alien bodies, secret underground cryogenic chambers, and a mysterious hangar at the base. Wright Field would grow and be renamed Wright-Patterson Air Force base, but questions about the base and its legendary Hangar 18 would remain. If these claims are true, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of the largest and most important in America’s military, could be ground zero for recovered UFO material. Not only was debris from many UFO crashes allegedly shipped to the base, but from the late 1940s until the end of the late 1960s, all reports regarding UFOs were conducted at Wright-Patterson for the military’s official UFO investigation Project Blue Book.

March 25, 1948, Aztec, New Mexico. What starts as a normal day for local oil workers, turns into an encounter with the unknown. As they approach the western edge of the mesa, a large silver object grabs their attention. When the oil workers got to the mesa there was a disc approximately 100 feet in diameter. Because the ship is found in tact, it appears to be a landing as opposed to a crash. Except for a shattered pothole, there isn’t any immediate sign of damage. Doug Noland reported to me he saw two bodies, through the porthole, slumped over. Within hours trucks arrive, supposedly from Camp Hale Colorado. It appears the U.S. government has another UFO incident to content with. According to the eye witnesses, the Army recovers between 14 and 16 badly burned alien bodies from the craft.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is honeycombed with below ground level facilities. These pits were dug in various configurations and were deep enough that if covered over would’ve made an ideal remote examination laboratory for somebody trying to examine alien artifacts that had been recovered elsewhere.

By interviewing various Air Force personnel who were supposedly granted access to the top secret underground vault, Collins felt he was able to confirm many of the rumors. The biggest kept secret was the huge cryogenics networks that were required to support and preserve these bodies, and I understand it was quite extensive. They were huge cryogenic storage tubes that these so called 3’4″ – 3’6″ aliens were kept in these canisters under cryogenic temperatures.

What actually lies beneath Wright-Patterson may be impossible to confirm. The Air Force Base operates under the highest security, keeping access to the base and these vaults secret from almost everyone, even their own. The secrecy goes all the way to the top. It’s a question of absolutely the highest level of classification that exists in the United States Government as far as I know. A formally classified memo from mid-July 1947 points to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover showing immense interest in a retrieved craft, and his frustration about being kept out of the loop – “We must insist upon full access to discs recovered. The Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for closer examination.” The memo was written just days after the Roswell New Mexico wreckage was taken to Wright Field. If J. Edgar Hoover couldn’t get access to the contents of Hangar 18, how high did the secrecy go. In a 1994 interview with Larry King on TNT, Senator Barry Goldwater detailed his attempt to visit Hangar 18, “I think at Wright-Patterson, if you could get into certain places you’d find out what the Air Force and the government does know about UFOs.”

Perhaps many of the legends about Hangar 18 are actually a cover-up for top secret military programs. I think it’s important to keep in mind that the government, in association with Air Force OSI counter intelligence division, would really like to extend the alien myth as a cover to hide their own deep black programs. Well it means that they want everyone to believe that what you’re seeing out there is extraterrestrial and we do not have the technology to duplicate what we’re seeing in the skies. I think to the extent that they can confuse or disinform folks about flying discs and make it look like a terrestrial innovation, the more they’ll do that. It’s in the government’s best interest to distribute disinformation if you want to keep and secret, secret.

Well we used internment camps here in the United States during World War II, and we interned Japanese Americans, or Americans I should say to be more correct, Americans of Japanese descent, and these people were cordoned off for the duration of the war. Background checks could have been done. They could have been released or cleared out of those facilities, but it was thought best because there was so much animosity towards the Japanese for the attack on Pearl Harbor and subsequent deaths of U.S. soldiers, that these people just be kept out of sight in one of their detention facilities.

Readiness Exercise 1984 was an armed forces exercise conducted on behalf of the United States federal government to test our military’s ability to detain large number of American citizens in case of civil unrest or national emergency. The military exercise anticipated civil disturbances, major demonstrations and strikes that would affect continuity of government.

One of the programs that got exposed during Iran Contra was Rex 84. Congressman Jack Brooks, in those hearings brought up the fact that in reality FEMA was a cover for a huge continuity of government program in case the American people ever rebelled, and that was the architecture of the blueprint for the illegitimate shadow government to fully take over the functions of the entire federal government, suspend the Constitution, suspend the Bill of Rights, and arrest whoever they wanted to, and that FEMA was going to control the camps that the people were going to be put into. And, FEMA would be the main governmental institution with different directors over every agency. And now when you watch FEMA on television, it’s always a Colonel or a general or an admiral in uniform who is over the different departments.

The martial law portions of Rex 84 were outlined in a 1982 memo, written by FEMA deputy John Brinkerhoff. Martial law was to be declared in the event of a national crisis, yet the plan did not define the term “national crisis”. The plan allowed FEMA to take control of both federal and state governments, appointing military commanders to replace duly elected officials. The plan also called for the rounding up of at least 21 million “American Negroes”, for delivery to various military bases converted into prison centers, also known as FEMA relocation camps. Why? Because at that time African Americans were classified as one of the largest threats to the continuity of the federal government. Who does the federal government consider the biggest threat these days?

The FBI’s counter intelligence program (COINTELPRO) was a series of covert, and often illegal programs conducted by the united States government, and aimed squarely at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. According to a Senate Select Committee Study, chaired by Senator Frank Church, and including such members as Phil Hart, Walter Mondale, and Barry Goldwater, the FBI’s motivation for conducting these programs was protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order. Targets included the Black Panther Party, the Ku Klux Klan, communists and socialist organizations, as well as nonviolent civil rights organizations, anti-war groups, and a broad range of organizations lumped together under the title “New Left” which included groups labeled for intensified attention, such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and Congress of Racial Equality.
Over the course of four presidential administrations, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, ordered FBI agents to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of these movements and their leaders. Speakers, teachers, and writers, even individual student demonstrators with no group affiliation were all fair game.

In October of 1999 the FBI released a report title Project Megiddo. The report was intended to alert U.S. law enforcement to new threats of domestic terrorism. The new FBI watch list now included citizens who support: Gun ownership rights, private property rights, home schooling, the U.S. Constitution. The list also included individuals who believe that U.S. elections are rigged, a new world order exists, and that American military bases will be used as concentration camps.

H.R. 5122 In 2006, the John Warner Defense Act, signed by President Bush, effectively nullified Posse Comitatus in the United States. The bill allows the President to station troops anywhere in America without consent of the governor or local authorities for the express purpose of “suppressing public disorder”.

Rothschild claimed to be Jewish. Not the nationality of a Jew, but Jew in terms of belief in God, and a follower of Divine Revelation. But was Mr Rothschild a moral man? Here’s a man that had five sons. And he sent his five sons into five countries. One son went to England, one son to France, one to Austria, one to Italy, and another remained in Germany with the father. And from these sons, and the money that these sons had, they worked and maneuvered, and manipulated until they gained control of the central banks of England, France, Austria, Italy, and Germany.

The control of these central banks went into the hands of individuals who’s interest were not necessarily in harmony with the best interest of that nation. These privately owned central banks became the printer of the money and the extenders of credit of that particular nation.

So government and politics… I wish the politicians, didn’t have to go. I wish the politicians, didn’t have to go, but I understand you’re very busy. Government and politics, in Europe, was always controlled by the money interest. Wars were fought, and in order to fight a war, governments had to borrow money. They borrowed money from these central banks. The central banks waxed rich, because they loaned money and charged interest, then took over when one side, prevails, against the other. And when governments could not satisfy the indebtedness, then some of the natural wealth of that country flowed to the bankers. They would loan money to both sides in the conflict. Cause they really didn’t care, who won, or who lost.

I mean its hurtful, but a Jew Rothschild, loaned money to Adolf Hitler! A Jew, Rothschild. God-dammit, you better not open your mouth to call me no anti-Semite! Rothschild, and Paul Warburg loaned money to Hitler. Hitler killed little Jews, while Rothschild and Warburg stayed in the finest hotels in Europe. But damn it, if you can’t call Rothschild anti-Semitic and Warburg an anti-Semite, they don’t you open your mouth against me!

In a book titled, “None Dare Call It Conspiracy,” by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham on page 45 the question is asked, where do governments get the enormous amounts of money that they need? Most of course, comes from taxation. But governments often spend more than they are willing to tax from their citizens, so governments are forced to borrow.

The public is lead to believe that the government borrows from the people through savings bonds. Actually, only the smallest percentage of the national debt is held by individuals in this form. Most government bonds, except those owned by the government itself through its trust funds, are held by vast banking firms known as international banks.

For centuries, there has been big money to be made by international bankers, in financing government, and kings.

Such operators, however, are faced with certain, thorny problems. We know that smaller banks operate to protect themselves by taking collateral. But, what kind of collateral can you get from a government or a king?

The process through which one collects a debt from a government, or a monarch, is not a subject taught in the business schools of the universities. And most of us, never having been in the business of financing kings or governments, have not given the problem much thought.

But there’s a king financing business. And to those, who can ensure collection it is a lucrative business.

An economics professor named Stuart Crane notes that there are two means used to loan governments money to governments and kings, and two means of collecting on that money. Whenever a business firm borrows big money, the creditor obtains an influence in management to protect its investment. Like a business, no government can borrow BIG money unless that government is willing to surrender to the creditor, some of its sovereignty.

Certainty, international bankers, who have loaned hundreds of billions of dollars to governments around the world, command considerable influence in the polices of such governments.

But the ultimate advantage, listen to this, that the creditor has over a king or a president, is that if the ruler gets out of line, the banker can fiance his enemy or his rival. Therefore, if you want to stay in the locative financing business of kings and governments, it is wise to have an enemy or a rival waiting in the wings to unseat every king or every president to whom you lend money. If the king doesn’t have an enemy, you’ve got to be able to create one.

Now I’m going to show you why America is in so much debt.

The founding fathers of this nation said they did not want private control of a central bank. Because to them such a bank would be the detriment of this democracy. Thomas Jefferson saw a privately owned central bank as worse than an opposing army. Thomas Jefferson wanted to keep America free, from those thing that lead to the destruction of many nations and governments, in Europe.

And so a privately owned central bank was unthinkable to the founding fathers of this nation, and therefore it was WRITTEN in the constitution that only CONGRESS should have the right to print the money and the instruments of credit.

The debt of America is so great, that greater hardship is not being planned by the government for the masses of the American people in order to make America solvent.

Did you know, that from 1900 to 1913, the federal government had a very manageable debt into the millions of dollars? But in 1913, something happened. Four things were set up in the year 1913. First, the Federal Reserve Bank; the IRS, the FBI, and the Anti-Deformation League of Beni-Brath. All were set up in the same year. Is that a coincidence? Or is there a tie-in? I don’t have time to go into all the details. But by the Help of Allah, I’ll do that in further whitings, if it is the Will of Allah.

But its enough to say that two German Jews, Paul and Felix Warburg, and the international bankers of Europe, wined and dined a Senator named Nelson Aldrich, who was the maternal grandfather of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. And they wined and dined him for two years, showing him the central banks of Europe. Senator Aldrich came back to America, and was given the job of being a part of the national study of the national monetary system.

Nelson Aldrich, with Paul Warburg, had a secret meeting in Jekyll Island – off the coast of Georgia. And in that secret meeting, what came out of it was the basis of the Federal Reserve Act.

They tried to get it through Congress, under the name, the Aldrich Federal Reserve Act. But since Aldrich was so tied to the international banking system, the members of congress, under the leadership of President Taft, they voted it out.

So they went back to the drawing board and they redid it, and they pushed it through on December 22, 1913, just as Congress was about to break for the Christmas recess. Wanting to get home quick, they pushed it through, and the Federal Reserve Act became law.

But in 1912, there was a great presidential election, where William Taft was challenged in his own party by Teddy Roosevelt. Both Roosevelt, was financed, by some of these international bankers. They hated Taft for his derailing of the Aldrich Federal Reserve Act, so they wanted to get at Taft. But they felt that a Republican shouldn’t bring this Act before Congress; it would be better if it came through a Democrat.

So the same bankers put money behind Woodrow Wilson, and Woodrow Wilson sold the American Presidency to the international bankers. He was elected in 1912, and in 1913 the Federal Reserve Act became law. And the Central Bank of the United States was taken over by a group of private banking institutions. Then, somebody else began printing the money. Like Rothschild said, he don’t care who rules as long as he controls the purse strings.

In 1913, America, was not, yet, at war. In the last winter solstice of the six thousand year rule of the enemy, America was betrayed, by one of her Presidents, and one of her Senators, and one of her member of the United States Treasury.

Do you know why I’m teaching this subject on Jesus, cause after I say what I’m saying today, if I aint got a Savior, I’m sure going to need one, after I say what I say today. Let me just finish. Don’t be frightened for me. You better be frightened for yourself. Because some stuff is going down in America, right now, as we speak and that all our lives are in DANGER right now. And I’ve got to sound the alarm, brothers and sisters.

I DON’T CARE NOTHING ABOUT MY LIFE! ITS YOUR LIFE THAT I WANT TO SAVE!

Listen. Now that, the bank that prints money is in the hands of private interest, the idea is, to push up, and inspire the government to borrow. How do you do it? Get America into WAR! The war, in Europe, started in 1914, and by 1917, under a lie about the Lusitania being sunk by German subs, the American people were called into a war to end all wars.

Boy this is heavy man. I mean, you can’t believe, how wicked, how low down and rotten. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You can’t believe, how wicked these people are, to play games with your lives and the lives of your babies. Create a war just to, get more money, to charge more interest, and send your babies to die for a bullsh!t. [Applause] Excuse me, but bull-$h!t, is the dropping of a bull. Its BS, its lies, it deceit; and the American people went to war in 1917, and black people sued to become a part of the war. Because we didn’t want to be left out of America, so America signed us to fight the war! And black men died. But they don’t know what the HELL they were dying for, and neither did the white ones know what they were dying for.

But the man of sin gotta to be revealed. And I thank God, that HE put it in my heart. I don’t have no fear of those bastards! I want to expose them all! GOD is PRESENT! GOD is in the world! And I’m going to prove to you, by my LIGHT, that GOD HAS POWER TODAY!

The death dumps, otherwise known as chemical trails, are being dropped and sprayed throughout the United States and England, Scotland, Ireland, and Northern Europe. And I have personally seen them not only in the United States, but in Mexico and in Canada. Birds are dying around the world. Fish are dying by the hundreds of thousands around the world. This is genocide. This is poison. This is murder by the United Nations. This element within our society that’s doing this must be stopped. I happen to know of two of the locations where the airplanes are that dump this crap on us. Four of the planes are out of the Air National Guard in Lincoln, Nebraska. And, the other planes are out of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I personally have observed the planes that were standing still in Nebraska – Lincoln, Nebraska – at the Air National Guard. They have no markings on them. They are huge bomber like airplanes with no markings. This is a crime, crime against humanity, a crime against America, a crime against the citizens of this great country. They must be stopped. What is wrong with congress? This has an affect on their population, and their people, and their friends, and their relatives, and themselves. What’s wrong with them? What’s wrong with the pilots who are flying these airplanes? They are dumping this crap, this poison, on their own families. Somebody has to do something about it. Somebody in Congress has to step forward and stop it now. Thank you. I’m Ted Gunderson.

There’s a monolith there. A very unusual structure on this little potato shaped object that goes around Mars once every seven hours.Then I went to Technical Services where I was in charge of finding documents that you don’t find in libraries like where you put explosives on a bridge. Where’s the best place to put an explosive on a bridge and what kind of explosive do you have to get that goes under water without losing its effectiveness? Also, I had to find one time–they wanted me to find–if there was such a thing as a poison that was undetectable, especially one that seemed to mimic a heart attack, that would kill someone but it would appear that they had a heart attack. I did find such a thing.

Senator Frank Church: Does this pistol fire the dart?

CIA Director William Colby: Yes, it does, Mr. Chairman, and a special one was developed which potentially would be able to enter the target without perception.

I am calling because I am very concerned. We have some actual proof that a trucker may be actually transporting bird flu. We have a federal agent who is aware who has taken the documents to many agencies including the New York State police, the FBI in many many states, infections control disease (CDC). And what this trucker reported is that he works for the Department of Homeland Security, he’s a Spanish man who is trucking an independent truck. He goes down to the corner of Broadway and Clinton in in Albany New York at the Department of Homeland Security facility for loads. He said there are Raymour & Flanigan and JB Hunt trucks ahead of him loading, that he has taken loads from a silo above Glens Falls. His truck was actually was lowered into the ground into a silo, when the truck came out of the ground he was given a shot in his arm to protect his family. He transported iced, refrigerated loads to the Pentagon, Baltimore Maryland, Tuscon Arizona… He told the Federal investigator how he was getting paid through the Bank of America with a number. He walks up to a window, he presents his number, he is taken to a back room and paid in cash. He showed the Federal agent a hundred thousand dollars worth of receipts because he gets $5,000 per load and he’s done as many as 3 loads per day.

He’ll have lead cars that tell him where to go, and he’ll being going from point A to point B and someone will interrupt the trip and divert him down a road. He went to Glens Falls NY, went to dead end street by a Stewart’s by the Civic Center…they opened a gate and he drove 6 miles on a gravel driveway to an underground silo. When the truck came out of the silo after he waited with the other truckers for 3 hours while they loaded in secret, the people who appeared with the truck when the truck was coming out of the ground, had Tyvek suits, the masks, the gloves, had all the works on.

A globalist is someone who believes in globalism and globalism, essentially is the drive for one world government, one world military, one world economy, which on a broad philosophical basis may not be that bad after all we are one humanity living on one planet, and frankly I can see the day coming when somebody’s going to say ‘where do you come from?’ and you’ll say ‘I’m from Earth.’ But the problem is we are being pushed into globalism by secrecy and by deceit and nobody’s getting a chance to consider the ramifications, or consider the methodology that’s being used to push us into this globalization.

You think the purpose of education is reading, writing, and arithmetic? The purpose of education is to change the thoughts, actions, and feelings of students. Hitler wanted to control the educational system in Germany… Stalin did in Russia, Mao Zedong in China. You have to get a hold of the minds of the young where you break the person’s values. You break their understanding of their individuality. You bring them to consensus with the group. They become a member of the collective. It’s Soviet education basically.

I think it’s important to understand that most of the educational programs that are implemented in the United States stem from the National Education Association. And, the NEA was actually founded by John D. Rockefeller. And John D. Rockefeller, I think, voiced the beliefs of this ruling elite that wants to try to homogenize our education system when he was quoted as saying ‘I don’t want a nation of thinkers – I want a nation of workers’. So I think the education system is not only pushing people into a socialized version of government, but also dumbing the individual down to the point to where he’ll be a good worker in the factory or he’ll be a good worker in silicon valley – he may know a lot about computers, but he is not gonna’ have a classic education that would allow him to take all of the facets of the culture and society and put it together and really form an intelligent opinion as to to what’s going on and what might be in the best interest of the individual.

Media blackout is nothing more than media control. It is the determination of what the public will hear, what they will not hear. And how to make it sound in such a way that the public will accept it. And it is totally against everything this country stands for. But, the average person doesn’t even know that they’re experiencing it anytime they turn on the T.V.

Ok. We say we’ve got freedom of the press in this country. And some folks have said you’ve got freedom of press as long as you own it. Well who owns the media? And, when I say that, I mean not literally, but as far as who controls the information that goes out in the media. Example: NBC is owned by General Electric. And General Electric is one of the top ten if not one of the top five defense contractors. Is NBC going to expose a news story that might in some way impede a contract negotiation which could mean a lot of money for General Electric? I don’t think so. So the point here is that we have elected officials, both republicrats and demopublicans, that cater to who?…certainly not the common people. We don’t have the huge amounts of money to contribute to their election campaigns. The people that contribute the most amount of money are the corporations. So that representative, or senator, is going to do what is going to be in the best interest of those corporations. So if the corporations are controlling and influencing our elected officials we must also take a look at the mainstream media. Who pays the bulk of the advertising dollars that keep the mainstream network news going..it’s the major corporations. So what we have now is we have corporate control of elected officials, corporate control of the media…and this is why now some people are calling it the corporate Borg because they have assimilated several different areas of our entire society. The corporations control agriculture, technology, manufacturing, industry, education, communication. They control our elected officials. This is not a government by and for the people. It is a government of, by, and for the corporation. And by definition when business controls government that is inescapably fascism.

If they’re gonna’ have a global system of government, what type of government would that be? Of course, there are those now that are touting the UN is the only answer, because our system is all flawed and our leaders are all screwed up and there’s too much corruption here. Well they want to bring forward this world government through the UN Charter. Many people that support the UN Charter have never read it. And if they had read it and figured out where it came from, and compared the UN Charter to the United States Constitution they’ll find that they’re absolutely repugnant. You can’t have them coexisting. So common sense tells me that if the globalists want a one world government, they have to destroy the United States Constitution and our way of life. And, they’ve got to do so in such a way that we’ll actually embrace it.

The average American would be shocked to find out there is something called COINTELPRO. The FBI’s covert action programs against American citizens. That’s the name of their document – the government document, not my rendition of it. In fact it is report 94-755 called Supplementary Detailed staff reports of intelligence activities and the rights of Americans—–. This is a hearing that occurred in 1976. Now, some notable people that sat on this hearing: Philip Hart, Walter Mondale, Gary Hart, Howard Baker, Barry Goldwater, and Richard Schweiker. Now, this senate report tells what the FBI was doing against the American citizens, literally. Here is their statement. COINTELPRO began in 1956 in part because of the frustration with the supreme court rulings limiting the government’s power to precede overtly against dissident groups. It ended in 1971 with the threat of public exposure. But in the intervening fifteen years the bureau conducted, their terms, a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of First Amendment rights of speech and association. This is incredible. When you look at this and when I was able to get a copy of this document, which is over three thousand pages long, I was shocked.

One of the things we’re doing is developing all sorts of technology. Not to spy on the Russians, not to spy on the Chinese, not to spy on Osama Bin Laden, but to control the American people. We have satellites… are they monitoring what’s going on in Russia or China today? Or, are they watching what’s going on in the United States. We have a program known as Echelon where they listen to every telephone call, every email, record every fax here in the United States. And all of this is done by computers. All of these messages are kept indefinitely on computer disks. What the American people must understand is that the massive amounts of money we are spending on defense is not to protect America, but ultimately used to control the American population as we move from freedom to fascism.

There is a conspiracy theory that a shadowing elite of international bankers are secretly controlling the governments of the world. The theory goes that these elitist plan to create an all powerful new world order. A world government who will destroy anyone who disobeys them. It is a theory shared by militiamen, and neo-nazis, and also by an increasing number of mainstream Americans. The message spreads through underground videos and anti-new world order talk shows. This is the story of a family who wanted to escape from the clutches of this tyrannical elite by moving to a mountaintop in Idaho. It is also the story of how their paranoid fantasies came true.

…Hopi, Egyptians, Cherokee, Apache, and the Mayans were aware of this great cycle and developed calendars according to it. This cycle stems from many different occurrences in nature such as the suns orbit around Alcion, the central star of Pleiades, as well as the 260 day cycle of human gestation. This cycle is broken down into five sub-cycles of 5,125 years each which were thought to have their own age. The Aztec Calendar, or Meso-American Sun Stone, depicted each cycle being destroyed by one of the five elements. The cycle we are currently in is the age of the fifth sun. 3113 BC to 2012 AD. More precisely this great cycle ends December 21, 2012. Mayan cultures and civilizations were aware of this end date and Nostradamus even prophecized about it.

President Kennedy went to the United Nations, September 1961, and he presented the United States program for general and complete disarmament in a peaceful world. During a speech… and he said “this is the official program of the United States of America.” It’s a disarmament program it calls for the United States to turn over its military to the United Nations. Now…let that sit for a second… ‘It calls for the United States to turn over its military to the United Nations’. The program ends by saying “progressive control disarmament would proceed to appoint where no state would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. peace force.” The U.N. would have all military power.

The IRS isn’t even an agency of the United States government. If you don’t believe me look up IRS Publication 6209. It is an agency of the IMF which if governed by the United Nations. The FCC, CIA, FBI, and NASA were never a part of the United States Government. The US government only holds shares of the stock in various agencies. Social Security numbers are also issued by the UN through the IMF.

In the early 1900s, after a failed attempt by Woodrow Wilson to set up what was called the League of Nations following World War I, Wilson and his adviser, Colonel House, set up the Institute of International Affairs. This institute had two branches. One set up in England called the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations

…and on December 20, 1993 George Herbert Walker Bush was knighted by the Queen of England as a Knight Grand Cross, the most honorable Order of the Bath, for his leadership in the Gulf War. Does it strike you as odd that our President, our leader, kneeled before the Queen of England in a ceremony that symbolizes allegiance?

On March 20, 2003, President Bush launched the bombing of Baghdad at 5:50 Baghdad time. This lasted until March 21st. It was called “shock and awe” by the mainstream media. But, according to the mystery religion this date is known as the Eve of Ostara, more commonly known as the Spring or Vernal Equinox. Occultists worship the Goddess of the Earth, Gaea, on this day. The druids knew this date as the Spring Fertility Rites,the Day of Feast. The war was promptly ended on May 1, 2003 (day of “Mission Accomplished”). This date is known on the druidic calendar as Beltane, or Walpurgis Night. It was named after St. who is the pagan goddess of fertility. From March 20th to May 1st, the pagan ritual is to give blood to Earth and renew life to the goddess of fertility. What better time for them to declare a bloody war on the days of a ritual sacrifice and end it exactly when the pagan ritual ends.

…and one of the greatest examples of group think is the stigma given to conspiracy theories. The phrase “conspiracy theory” gives a distinct impression to the average person. The JFK assassination, Area 51, Roswell, government cover ups, strange disappearances… These subjects probably sound a bit too fantasy for the average person. And it’s quite understandable. They’re supposed to sound made up. Throughout the mistranslation of time, and embellishment of these stories, facts were added or omitted. Some may be true and some may be false, but one thing’s for sure, if a global secret needed to remain hidden, yet began emerging among the public, the best cover up is to embellish or alter the story until it sounds ludicrous. So what happens when the secret involves the government and the government has intimate ties to the mainstream media. And the mainstream media, as said before, has been proven to sway at least 80% of the public’s opinion. The logic is undeniable. Media in every form is put in place to make people feel stupid for even keeping an open mind towards conspiracy theories.

Full Transcript
Ronald Reagan: You, the men and women of the CIA, are the eyes and ears of the free world. You are the tripwire.

Verne Lyon: CIA is a state sponsored terrorist organization. You don’t look at people as human beings. They’re nothing but pieces on the chessboard.

Lyndon Johnson: Secrecy in this work is essential: achievements and triumphs can seldom be advertised; shortcomings and failures often are advertised.

Mary Embree: No one really knows all the things that CIA does. They pretty much have carte blanche, and they have an enormous amount of money.

Oliver North: Maybe I am overly na–ve but I don’t see what would be wrong with that.

George Bush: We need more intelligence: not less. We must not diminish our intelligence.

Ralph McGehee: The CIA is not really an intelligence agency. It is a covert action agency.

Phil Agee: The CIA has been involved in assassination and torture behind the scenes all through its history.

Bill Clinton: The Cold War is over, but many new dangers have taken its place. The decisive advantage United States intelligence provides this country is therefore as important as it has ever been.

Narrator: December 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor sinks the Pacific fleet. Military intelligence is in shambles. The dawn attack becomes the crucible on which the modern spy culture is born. Into the breach stepped a new generation of American soldiers: the spies and covert warriors of the Office of Strategic Services. They battled the Japanese and Germans behind the lines in an underworld of sabotage and psychological warfare. They trained and fought with local guerillas in unknown jungles with only one guiding command: don’t get caught.

It was a simpler time when the nation’s enemies were clear. Washington and Hollywood swept into action inventing the popular culture that has surrounded espionage for half a century: the mystery, the adventure, the romance, the simple stereotypes of the enemy, and the fearless hero.

Harry Truman: We had hoped that our wartime ally, the Soviet Union, would join in the efforts of the whole community of nations to build a peaceful world. Instead, the rulers of the Soviet Union have sought to extend the boundaries of their totalitarian control.

Narrator: The battlefields of the new Cold War seemed uniquely suited to the skills of spies and secret agents. President Truman pledged that the United States would never be caught by surprise again. The Central Intelligence Agency was born.

Mary Embree: It was considered “the Cadillac” of government agencies, and they mostly hired from Ivy League colleges.

John Kennedy: The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose and that is the path of surrender or submission.

Narrator: The public embraced the cloak of secrecy that the CIA wrapped around itself.

Phil Roettinger: The government didn’t know that I was working for the government.

Mary Embree: They told me not to tell anyone: not even my mother.

Ralph McGehee: I couldn’t tell my children.

Phil Agee: My wife didn’t even know what I was doing.

Narrator: Who were these agents and what were they doing in Guatemala and Iran? How did patriotic Americans from main street neighborhoods get caught up in the overthrow of foreign governments? What were they doing in places like Ecuador and Vietnam, where the CIA organized torture and assassination? These are the stories of former agents who dared to break away from the CIA.

Mary Embree: I was so disillusioned about my country because I believed, “it was my country right or wrong,” but my country was wrong so much of the time.

Verne Lyon: I’ve lost my first-class citizenship. I’ve lost the respect probably of a lot of friends. I’ve gained a lot of enemies.

Ralph McGehee: I think CIA ex-members, somewhat like myself, who leave and tell their stories, are [involved in] a very painful process, but I think they are feeling that they are doing a higher duty, if you will. They’re not just quitting and leaving and being quiet. They’re quitting and expressing their conscience [by saying,] “Here is something that we have done that is terrible, and here is something that must be stopped.”

Ralph McGehee: I played four years of football at the University of Notre Dame, and we were undefeated for all four years (three national championships), and I was the first-team right tackle. So once when I was cut from the Green Bay Packers, I was recruited by the Agency, and I wondered why they recruited me, but when I got down to Washington, I found out that most of those in my class were rejects from the National Football League.

I went to an interview at the Chicago courthouse by a man who didn’t identify himself or the agency he was recruiting for, and he said that what I would be doing would be involved in fighting communism.

Voiceover: 800 million people (one-third of mankind) exist under communist tyranny without the God-given rights of freedom and human dignity.

Ralph McGehee: Of course, at that particular period in 1952, this was so much a part of our every day life, and I said, “Yes, I very much want to be a part of it.” I was very proud to be a part of it.

My career in the Agency began in 1952, and I stayed in the Agency through 1977. In the entire twenty-five years, I was in the Directorate of Operations, also known as “The Dirty Tricks Department.” My second tour in Thailand was probably the most important, where I was assigned to work with the provincial police, which was a fifty-thousand-man national police force, in developing an effort to counter the growing insurgency and to gather intelligence on that insurgency, and the program there was to interview or interrogate everyone in a village over the age of twelve, and in the process, we found out that the Thai Communist Party was much larger, much more active, much more effective than had ever been reported before. My initial reports received glowing commendations from everyone, and then all of a sudden, the program was shut down and I was sent home and I couldn’t understand this. I know now why they didn’t want this information to be reported. Because if they acknowledged that the Communist Party in Thailand consisted of thousands of organized villagers, than they would have to have told the same truths about the communist movement in Vietnam, where the strength of the communist movement was in the millions, and if we had ever admitted that, there would have been only one solution to what was going on in Vietnam [and that] was to shut down the war and come home. We could not win.

Voiceover: Men of the 101st Airborne Division land in Camran Bay.

Ralph McGehee: Intelligence on Vietnam was doctored to support the ongoing was there, and I could see that the situation in doctoring intelligence was universal.

Voiceover: Now, these reinforcements head for where the action is supposed to be for according to current policy the emphasis is to be on direct combat rather than on advisory duty.

Ralph McGehee: Wherever the Agency had a covert action role or a policy role to implement, its intelligence was distorted, shaped, created to support that policy. It was in many, many cases nothing but fiction.

I think the worst thing I was involved in was the Phoenix Operation in Vietnam: a countrywide assassination program. I was part of it. This was a program started by the CIA, funded by the CIA, recruiting people for the operation, training them to go out and kill or capture the Viet Cong. I came to realize later that we were shooting fish in a barrel. Most of the Vietnamese supported the other side, and we were the intruders, and the Vietnamese were fighting for their own liberation from foreign domination. I went out to Vietnam to help save Vietnam for democracy, and when I saw photographs of the children bombed and napalmed and burned by operations, this caused for me a tremendous trauma, and I for a number of months contemplated suicide as my only out. This, of course, I finally got over, and [I] thought that what I should do with my knowledge is try to bring this knowledge to the American people so that there won’t be further Vietnams, there won’t be further abuses, and since that time I’ve dedicated my life to exposing the Agency.

Casey Kasem: The CIA called him “an analyst with few peers,” but upon leaving the CIA, this man wrote a book about it called Deadly Deceits, and now he has compiled a one of a kind database resource on the subject called CIAbase. Please: a big welcome for Ralph McGehee.

Ralph McGehee: I feel that I am doing what I should be doing, and in that sense I am happy. I am not happy in the sense that no amount of criticism of the Agency, no amount of revelation of its dirty deeds, no amount of exposure of the weaknesses of the Agency has weakened the CIA, but I do feel that at some point all of this is going to impact on the awareness of the American people, and at that time there will be an attack on the CIA.

Verne Lyon: I considered myself a good spy. I would be given a name of a student or a professor or a teaching assistant, and I would try to develop a relationship with this person and try to get him to say to me statements concerning the U.S. involvement in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. I was to infiltrate student groups to get copies of propaganda, meeting times, protest posters, [and] this kind of thing. [I was] your friendly spy on campus.

The excitement initially came when I was offered the job and told that I was very special, and that played to my patriotism, my ego, my manhood, the whole thing.

It was thirty years ago almost this month that I was a senior on the Iowa State University campus ready to my aerospace engineering degree and wondering what I was going to do in light of the nation’s deepening involvement in the quagmire of Vietnam.

Voiceover: There were antiwar demonstrations on college campuses and in cities from Los Angeles to Washington. Draft card burnings became common, and the chant, “Hell no! We won’t go!” was the theme of the protest generation.

Verne Lyon: It was then that the CIA appeared on campus, and it began the largest illegal domestic operation in history called “Chaos.” The FBI and Hoover thought U.S. college student demonstration against the Vietnam War was being manipulated and funded from abroad. President Johnson didn’t believe it, so he actually authorized the CIA to start an illegal covert operation inside the country, and I became the eyes and ears of the CIA on the Iowa State University campus.

Voiceover: Iowa State University: the opportunities are here.

Verne Lyon: I initiated files on students of my own interest even without the CIA’s knowledge. There was this young lady who caught my eye on campus, and I tried to date her and she refused, so I initiated a file on her, and that was personally for my own benefit.

I did that for my senior year and on graduation I thought my responsibilities to the Agency would end when I went to work for McDonald-Douglas in St. Louis, but it didn’t work out that way, and eventually I was assigned to Canada posing as an anti- Vietnam War engineer. The Agency knew that Fidel had gone around the island and built all these small dams. He actually wanted two growing seasons a year. He needed someone to seed the clouds so it would rain and he could store the water, and that’s where my expertise was having been an amateur rocketeer and an aerospace engineer and all this good stuff.

The Cubans were duped into believing the credentials I presented. There really was no other option of getting an American down there.

After the October Crisis of 1962, Kennedy said that we would never physically invade the island if Khrushchev would remove the ballistic missiles; so therefore, the United States was frozen into a policy of trying to bring Castro down from within which meant disrupting the average life of the Cuban citizen, doing whatever we could to sabotage the economy, to discredit the Revolution.

One way of doing that, of course, was to try to control the amount of food coming into Havana for distribution to the public, and if we could do that by puncturing tires on a truck loaded with tomatoes for the market or if we could cause a truckload of whatever (onions or fresh fruit or meat) to become putrid or be stolen or contaminated on the way into town, we would do that, and I remember one particular instance. A brand new secondary school that had opened up in the countryside was going to receive its week’s supply of fresh milk and we bribed the driver of the truck. We knew where he stopped to have breakfast on his route. We wanted him to take a few extra minutes so we could put cement powder into the milk.

We declared war on school children! That shouldn’t be the policy of the United States government! You don’t win friends and influence people that way (declaring war on children and innocent civilians). [It was] a big mistake, but the U.S. government orders it and participates in it, and the CIA’s goal eventually was to increase this frustration level to a point where there’d be a civil revolution within Cuba to bring him down.

I think from almost the outset I had reservations about what I was doing in Cuba, and that’s because, just in general, I didn’t enjoy harming people. I didn’t know the Cubans at the time, so I would rationalize myself that “well, this was in the best interest of my country.” But as I got to know the Cuban people personally and ended up getting married to a Cuban, I started to change my attitude toward them very quickly.

I think the most frightening thing that ever happened to me in Havana was when the Cuban counterintelligence people actually decided they had enough and they came to my house and detained me.

And eventually, I was arrested and accused of espionage (even given a fake firing squad), and in spite of all the training I’d had and all the instruction I’d had that you don’t get shot (you may be tried, there’ll be a lot of publicity, you may even be imprisoned for awhile but eventually you’ll be released and exchanged), you forget that when you’re actually facing those rifle barrels and you’re in a foreign country with no diplomatic mission and nobody there to speak for you. Your knees tremble and you lose bladder control. It’s very scary.

Hindsight is something I think we all enjoy, and I just wish we could switch it around and use it as foresight, but in hindsight, if I could go back and change things, I’d have to go back thirty years to 1965 and my senior year and refuse the offer that was made to me by the CIA, and take my chances with the draft, and pursue my engineering career. It certainly would have been a better life than what I’ve had. I wouldn’t have the memories that I have of the things that I have done to people and countries, and all of it in the name of the United States and under its flag.

Mary Embree: For many years, I didn’t even tell my friends I worked for CIA because I was embarrassed. It’s colored my life. It always will. It’s like a shadow that falls over my life all the time. I still, if I say anything against them, turn around, wondering if I’m being followed.

I never even thought of joining the CIA. First of all, I thought I probably couldn’t get in because it was considered the Cadillac of government agencies, and they mostly hired from Ivy League colleges. I was just out of high school and went to work for Veterans Administration. Actually, it was the typewriter repairman, who came in to repair my typewriter one day, and he said, “You shouldn’t be working here. You should be working at a nicer place.”

They test you a lot: huge testing. When you are put into this personnel pool, there’re probably two or three weeks of tests where it’s all day long, every single day. They are IQ tests and personality tests. The questions, which bothered me the most, were when I took the polygraph test. In the polygraph test, they ask you such incredibly personal questions. For instance, they asked me if I was a virgin, and I was eighteen and I thought, “What business is it of theirs whether I am or not?” I was rather embarrassed to tell them that I was because I don’t think any of my girlfriends were. I was raised very strict.

There were very few women at CIA who were other than secretaries. It was very sexist. It was the male establishment: the white male establishment. I asked a couple of times why it was that there were no blacks there and why there were no gay people there, although they did not call them gays in those days–I think they called them queers in those days–and they said because homosexuals could not be cleared because they could be blackmailed. They said that blacks couldn’t be cleared because blacks were just still too primitive. They just weren’t usually smart enough, and they didn’t have the kind of background that white people had. I didn’t think that much of it at the time because it was standard operating procedure, but when I think about it now, I’m really quite shocked how you probably would never get a job if you were black.

I was assigned as a secretary in the Audio Surveillance Division. They were experts on listening devices and hidden microphones and that sort of thing. I did also very often help the operatives get the documents that they needed. Once in a while, I’d have to make a quick trip to State Department to pick up their passports, and sometimes, if we couldn’t get the passports in time, then I’d have to go over to Graphic Arts Reproduction Division so that they could forge one for them. Most of them were artists in there, but they were recruited from prisons because they were forgers and they were master forgers. They were people who knew how to forge money. They forged all kinds of things. That was how they made their living. FBI would arrest them and CIA would come and spring them.

Then I went to Technical Services where I was in charge of finding documents that you don’t find in libraries like [sic] where you put explosives on a bridge. Where’s the best place to put an explosive on a bridge and what kind of explosive do you have to get that goes under water without losing its effectiveness? Also, I had to find one time–they wanted me to find–if there was such a thing as a poison that was undetectable, especially one that seemed to mimic a heart attack, that would kill someone but it would appear that they had a heart attack. I did find such a thing.

Senator Frank Church: Does this pistol fire the dart?

CIA Director William Colby: Yes, it does, Mr. Chairman, and a special one was developed which potentially would be able to enter the target without perception.

Mary Embree: The poison was frozen into some sort of dart, and then it was shot at very high speed into the person. So when it reached the person, it would melt inside them, and the only thing would be like one little, tiny red dot on their body, which was hard to detect. There wouldn’t be a needle left or anything like that in the person.

Senator Frank Church: But also the toxin itself would not appear in the autopsy?

CIA Director William Colby: Yes, so that there was no way of perceiving that the target was hit.

Mary Embree: I think the first time that I seriously questioned anything that was more than I just couldn’t take it anymore was when I w came across this document. It was “Eyes Only,” and it was to my boss, but he only had one hand and a hook on the other hand, so I always opened all of his mail and his packages and so forth. This one–he wasn’t in the office–I opened it and read it. It said, “Eyes Only.” I wanted to read it because I wasn’t supposed to, probably, and it was a report about a mission where they had blown up a bridge in Asia somewhere, and they had killed a number of women and children who were on there way to market that morning. It was reported as though they were really proud: mission accomplished. That one bothered me a lot. When my boss came in, I gave him his mail, and I mentioned this and I said, “This is wrong. These women hadn’t done anything. These children didn’t deserve to die. Why did we do that?” He said, “That’s the fortunes of war.” And I said, “But we’re not at war. We’re certainly not at war on that country. Why did we do that? I don’t understand it.” He said, “Well, you’re very young. When you get older, you’ll understand those things.”

I think probably all of us became addicted to the danger, to the intrigue. It was living a fantasy. It was actually living a fantasy and being on the inside and it was very hard to leave, even though I felt that they did wrong and I would never ever work for an agency like that now because I realize that it wasn’t because I was a child or I was so young. It was because it was wrong. But at the time, it was really exciting. After that, there was no other job I could have ever again in my life that would be that exciting. I knew that.

Phil Agee: During this period in Ecuador, I got involved in all these different types of operations. I was running around here, running around there, working with the police intelligence and military intelligence, falsifying documents as provocations to get people landed in jail, running a surveillance team, which was a team that would follow people around on the streets and they had radio communications with vans. It was very exciting at first and you had–at 25, 26, 27 years old–you had this sense of power, which is intoxicating, really, for such a young person.

My motivation was partly the youthful, romantic aspect of it, which was the idea of secret work, of being abroad in strange cultures and communities, but patriotism was also a very strong motivation. It was a period in which we still had to do compulsory military service and the Draft was breathing down my neck and I had to do it one way or another and the CIA told me that, if I hadn’t done my military service, I could do it within this secret program that they had with the Pentagon and I would become an officer and so forth. I thought that might be more interesting than washing dishes and peeling potatoes for a couple of years as a draftee.

I was sent down to Quito, Ecuador, where I worked for a period of three years.

Voiceover: Poverty breeds anger and despair. Anger and despair are ingredients of violence, of lawlessness, of revolt.

Phil Agee: And our job was to squelch or impede the influence of the Cuban Revolution throughout Latin America because the Cuban Revolution had such an impact in Latin America. And in practically every Latin American country, there were people who went into armed struggle at that period to emulate the Cubans, hoping that they too could overthrow the traditional, ruling power structure in their countries in which very few families controlled the land and the wealth and that meant that a very large proportion of the population was marginalized. They didn’t count.

Voiceover: Here, as in so many other places on this troubled Earth, can be seen the conditions that give rise to conflict, to riot and revolution. Here can be found the familiar challenges that threaten the future of us all. We are here.

Phil Agee: When I was working in Uruguay, it was a complicated period. The trade unions and students were out in the streets all the time, and there was a state of siege imposed, and we wanted to stop these lightning demonstrations, which were making our police look bad. And so, one of the leaders of these squads of the Communist Party was Oscar Bonaudi, and I had him arrested. It was supposed to be simply preventive detention. But on that Sunday morning, I knew that he was under arrest, and I didn’t know what was happening, but we were sitting in the room as the chief of police was reading a document I had written to attribute all this violence and unrest and strikes to the Soviets. It was false, but it was very credible the way I had written it. Then the sound began to come through the walls, and it was a low moaning sound, and I wondered to myself as it got louder and louder and the chief was embarrassed whether it was the guy whose name I had given, and he told me the story that, “Yes, it was Bonaudi,” and that, “One of the most sadistic police officers had ordered his interrogation and torture that Sunday morning.” But it was a horrible sound. I’ll never forget it. It’s just awful to hear that moaning and groaning, and screaming coming through the walls.

I began to question the work. The initial thrill of being on the inside, of having this secret power, of knowing things that individuals and governments try to hide, had faded. By the time I got to Mexico, I had already had all the political reasons to leave. I met an American woman who had lived in Mexico for many years. This would be October of 1967. At dinner, she suddenly went into a tirade about Che Guevara because he had just been killed. He had been captured and executed and it was just out in the papers that day. And so, she was furious. She went into this tirade about this horrible, stinking CIA that had murdered the best hope for Latin America in generations, and she loved Che Guevara. She thought he was the most wonderful man in the world, and I was in love with her and she was in love with me. And I thought to myself as I sat there at dinner, “Wow, what am I going to do?” And so, the upshot is that she was the personal factor, which led me actually to say that, “I’m quitting now.”

Voiceover: The case against the CIA has always lacked information on how precisely its officers set about their covert actions. Philip Agee, now living in Cornwall, was such an officer, and his diary, to be published by Penguin in the next few weeks, gives his version of what life is really like inside the Agency. He names every officer and agent he’s ever met and describes the CIA man’s work in daily detail.

Phil Agee: Why should I be delicate with them? I don’t expect any quarter in return because this is part of the conflict that is going on in the world right now. The CIA is enforcing American economic exploitation, and people are dying and people are starving because of this system.

In actual fact, what had happened is Henry Kissinger had intervened secretly with the British government to force them or pressure them to deport me and to cause me all these problems. Because not only was I deported from Great Britain, but also that was followed by a kidnapping and deportation by force from France, plus Holland and Italy and Germany and Norway would not let me in. And so, over a two-year period, they were constantly pressuring these governments, which had no provocation from me at all. So they tried very hard during a period of time in the 1970s to stop my work, but I just continued, got on with my life, and achieved stability in Germany. And now in the last seven or eight years, I’ve been coming frequently to the United States, and I think I’ve been in practically every nook and cranny of the country at hundreds of meetings, political rallies, and university lectures over these last eight years.

Phil Roettinger: When I was a kid, the American flag was something we absolutely marveled at; whenever the American flag went by in a parade, we took our hats off, put our hands over our hearts, and we really felt it because this is a symbol of the United States and the way that the United States should behave. We have to have something like that in order to hold ourselves together.

In those days, the Depression was really seriously affecting everybody and me, too. Along about that time, I began to travel to different shooting matches in the Midwest and I finally got to shooting against the U.S. Marine Corps Team, and I used to beat the Marines: every one of them. And the captain of the Marine team came to me and said, “Son, have you ever thought about enlisting in the Marine Corps?” And I said, “No, captain, I never have.” And he said, “Well, I tell you what. If you were to enlist in the Marine Corps, when you’re finished your training in Parris Island, I’ll see to it that you’re assigned to the Marine Corps Rifle and Pistol Team.” [I thought,] “Jeez, you know, I’ll be getting paid for shooting!” I was scared stiff, of course, and we went up there and went in the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ office, and the captain said, “This young man is a specialist in marksman training, and I would like if we would commission him in the Marine Corps.” I said, “Commission! Oh my God!” The Commandant said, “We’ve never done anything like that before: commission a man.” The captain said, “Well, sir, I think this is the time to do it.” The Commandant scratched his head and said, “I think you’re right. Young man, you’re a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps.” I said, “Oh my God! This is terrible!”

I went through World War II as an officer in the Marine Corps, came back, and one night the doorbell rang and I want [to the door] and here was this nattily dressed man in a nice suit and a snap-brim hat. And he said, “May I come in?” And I said, “Well, I think you had better identify yourself. Who are you?” “Well,” he said, “I know who you are and you’ve been recommended very highly to our organization.” I said, “What’s your organization?” [He said,] “Well, I’m not at liberty to tell you what the organization is.” And I said, “This is crazy! But I told him, “Come on in,” [because] he was a little guy and I thought I could handle him pretty well. And he said, “You have been accepted in our organization, and we want you to go to Central America.” And I said, “What? Central America? Come on!” So that’s how it happened. I was to join this group that went to Central America and I found out that I was supposed to be in charge of overthrowing a government in Central America. “It doesn’t sound right,” and I said, “What’s the government?” “Well,” [he said,] we don’t want to go into it too deeply here, yet.” “Well,” I said, “I think you’d better forget the whole thing.” “Oh, no no no no no! It’s very important,” and so finally he did let out that we were going to overthrow the government of Guatemala.

Well now, I had been to Guatemala before several years before that because I was a member of the U.S. Olympic team and we were requested to go down and help organize the Games, the Central American/Caribbean Games.

Voiceover: Doves are released: living symbols of the peace and friendship among the twenty-two nations represented.

Phil Roettinger: So I knew people down there. I knew this gentleman by the name of Arbenz, and the CIA was going to have me overthrow these friends of mine. Well, they explained to me that this is extremely important to the security of the United States. (When they pull that, you know there’s something wrong because the United States is so secure that nobody is ever going to do anything to it.) Anyway, so I said, “Well, okay, I’ll do it.” And we organized a group of dissident Guatemalans, armed them and trained them minimally, and sent them off up to overthrow the government [Operation El Diablo].

Voiceover: Fighting ends in Guatemala. These rebel troops backed by air power have compelled the ousting of Guatemala’s pro-communist regime and have won a ceasefire from government forces. That red rule in Guatemala is over is grimly symbolized by the determination of the insurgents themselves and by this effigy of ex-president Arbenz who fled the country. The sign reads: “Go back to Russia.”

Richard Nixon: You know there were some people during the Arbenz regime that said there was a question as to whether it was truly a communist regime and as to whether it was controlled by Moscow. Do we have here the proof that there was no question whatsoever?

1954 Guatemala Coup Spokesman: There was no doubt at all that Russia controlled all the communists here in Guatemala, sir.

Richard Nixon: In other words, the Arbenz regime was not a Guatemala government; it was a foreign government controlled by foreigners.

Phil Roettinger: What happened was that they went up there and caused great bloodshed and great damage, which have never been corrected even to this day. That started the whole thing in Guatemala and is why we’re having all this trouble today.

The only thing that can be done, of course, is to work with our Congress because everything that happens in Latin America or any place else in the world begins in our Congress.

Now look: Are you in favor of killing somebody that you don’t know? Are you in favor of torturing somebody? Are you in favor of locking people up in dungeons and things? Are you really in favor of that because I don’t think that you are? And I think that I can get that across to you pretty well if I get a chance to talk to you like that.

Ralph McGehee: I feel that because of the problems that I went through, the realizations that I came to, the efforts that I’ve taken to counter–if I may call it this–this monster, that I am contributing so much now that I could not have contributed had I not joined the agency.

Verne Lyon: There’s no way I can make amends, but certainly helping in this effort to expose the abuses of our intelligence services, perhaps, in some small way will help pay that debt.

Narrator: In an organization that celebrates loyalty and security, the public confessions of these former agents have been hard to swallow, but as revelations of the Agency’s failures and deceit pile up, the courage to speak out has spread from one agent to another.

Phil Roettinger: I promise that I will do as much as I can for peace in Latin America. Thank you very much.

A number of us have organized this group of former U.S. intelligence people, and we are very serious because of the experience we have, we believe that we should have a certain amount of influence in the Congress and in the government.

Peter Kornbluh (Senior Analyst, National Security Archive): Frank Church, the late Chairman of the Senate Select Committee to Study Intelligence, concluded that covert operations was really a semantic disguise for blackmail, sabotage, assassination, whatever the United States wanted to do to influence other countries to do its will.

Narrator: In small ways, Congress has pressured the CIA to reform itself. Hundreds of individuals who smuggled drugs, tortured, and murdered in the name of the Agency, have recently been purged from its payroll and oversight committees have been created to monitor the Agency’s activities.

Stansfield Turner (Admiral, Former Director of Central Intelligence): One of my biggest jobs was to get the CIA to understand that they could do their secret operations at the same time that we were keeping the Congress adequately informed. It wasn’t easy to overcome that dichotomy because the CIA people just assumed that if you told the Congress it was all over the newspapers the next day. It wasn’t really the case.

Peter Kornbluh: But it is similarly true that many of these Congressmen and Senators become members of a covert club. If they are given access to the information, then they consider themselves to be on the inside. They don’t share it. So all too often, they are co-opted into a system of secrecy that contributes to a major intelligence scandal every five or six years or so.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan (Senator (D) New York): The great problem of the Central Intelligence Agency today is that it completely missed the end of the Cold War. For twenty-five years, it reported everything there was to know about the Soviet Union excepting the fact that it was collapsing. The great question is whether we should abolish it. Weapons intelligence: put it in defense. Political intelligence: put it with the State Department, which is where the president should be turning for that kind of advice. And economic information: well, that’s open and public the world over.

Gene LaRocque (Rear Admiral, President of the Center for Defense Information): But until the American public know how much the CIA receives in money every year and know how many people they have and what they are doing all over the world, the CIA will continue to bumble along in some sort of romantic role that they ascribe to themselves and the American people attribute to the CIA because we know nothing about it.

Mary Embree: I believe that what is happening right now is that there is more and more information about CIA coming out with freedom of information and some of the things that have been released, declassified. We’re finding out a lot of things. And I think that the American people are going to say, “No, we can’t do that. It’s immoral. It’s wrong. It’s against everything I believe in. It’s not patriotic. It’s not good. It’s not good even for our country. It certainly is not good for the world.”
