CIA’s Secret “Third World War” – John Stockwell
My expertise as you know is CIA, Marine Corp, 3 CIA secret wars. I had a position in the National Security Council in 1975 as Chief of the Angola Task Force running the secret war in Angola. It was the third CIA secret war I was part of. The national security law creating the National Security Council and the CIA as you know was passed in 1947. The CIA was given this charter to perform such other duties and functions that might be necessary to national security interests, and given a vague authority to protect its sources and methods. I think it was in the mid-80s that I coined this phrase the “Third World War”. Because in my research I realized that we were not attacking the Soviet Union in the CIA’s activities. We were attacking people in the Third World. And I’m going to just quickly in the interest of time just give you a little sense of what that means this – “Third World War”. Basically it’s the third, I believe, in terms of loss of life and human destruction, the third bloodiest war in all of history. They undertake and run operations in every corner of the globe. They also undertook the license of operating just totally above and beyond the U.S. laws. They had a license, if you will, to kill. But also they took that to a license to smuggle drugs, a license to do all kinds of things to other people and other societies, in violation of international, our law, and every principle of nations working together for a healthier and more peaceful world.
Secret Government: Constitution in Crisis – CIA Coups in the Last Half Century – Bill Moyers – 1987 Oldy but Goody
The men who wrote our Constitution tried to make it hard to go to war. Human life was at stake, they knew, and the character of our Republic. War should be soberly decided, publicly debated, and mutually determined by the people’s representatives. It is people, after all, who must fight, pay, and die once the choice is made. The Constitution was to protect them from dying for the wrong reasons. It was to protect them from killing for the wrong reasons.
Blackwater: Shadow Army – Privatized Paramilitary
One of the most frightening developments in the occupation of Iraq and the so-called war on terror, is actually something that most people have never heard of. In addition to the 150,000 troops that the U.S. has on the ground in Iraq, the Bush administration has deployed a shadow army of some 100,000 contractors. Of these tens of thousands are heavily armed mercenaries that roam Iraq with impunity. Among the most powerful of the companies operation in Iraq is Blackwater U.S.A. A secretive company based in the wilderness of North Carolina. It’s headed by a right winged Christian conservative bank roller of President Bush and his allies. And Blackwater envisions itself as the FedEx of the national security apparatus. But the reality is that Blackwater has become a primary player in the war on terror, and nothing short of the administrations Praetorian Guard.
