From the time an American child reaches the 6th grade, they’re taught that the key to success in life is to do well in high school so that they can get accepted to the best possible college. The better grades they get in high school, the better college they will have an opportunity to get into. They are taught that if they get into a great college and get their college degree, any type of job they desire in the field of their choice will be there waiting for them. After getting their dream job they will be able to buy any car and house they desire, start their own family and live the American dream.

Most Americans today have an expectation of future economic success, simply by obtaining a college degree. The entire purpose of elementary school is to prepare students for high school. And the entire purpose of high school is to prepare students for college. In fact, the U.S. now has hundreds of college preparatory high schools that, at a cost of $25,000 per year, are suppose to increase students chances of getting into a top tier college. Students are taught to believe that if they don’t get into college, they will be on a path to nowhere and will have no chance of building a successful career.

Government regulations like no child left behind, have left grade and high schools in shambles. Instead of teachers having the freedom to think outside the box and use creative techniques to prepare their students for the real world, they are taught to be narrow minded and teach worthless information that will never help their students have successful careers. Today, their are no high schools left in America that teach students the knowledge necessary to start their own business, invent their own products, or even how to use the internet and other free resources to become educated about things without attending college.

The annual cost to attend the average four year college in America today is $27,293, up 29% from 5 years ago during the 2005/2006 school year when the annual tuition cost $21,235. This does not include the price of text books, which have tripled over the past decade. Colleges are now charging $200 for each single text book that has no resale value because they put out new slightly revised versions with a new name each year. The text book publishers are even colluding with college book stores to make custom text books, so that students can’t save money by buying them online. Colleges are getting kickbacks from publishers in order to destroy the used textbook market, which by itself is proof enough that college administrators are only interested in lining their own pockets, and have no interest in helping their students.

College tuition has seen 5.15% annual price inflation over the past 5 years. This is despite the fact that U.S. real estate prices are down 26% from their peak in July of 2006. And the Dow Jones is down 18% from its peak in October of 2007. Even oil is down 38% from its peak in 2008. During the financial crisis of 2008 Americans lost 10.2 TRILLION DOLLARS in paper wealth. And college is the only thing in America, besides the cost of health care, that did not at least temporarily decline in price.

Over just a 2 year period from December of 2007 to December of 2009, 8,363,000 jobs were lost. or 6.1% of total jobs. One year later, in December of 2010, thanks to the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government spending 4.6 TRILLION dollars in bailouts, stimulus programs and other government spending, 1,124,000 jobs in America, or 0.9% of total jobs had been recovered. That is over $4,000,000 spent for each job created.

During an economic downturn when Americans are losing their jobs, their primary instinct is to seek higher education in order to make themselves more attractive to potential employers and better position themselves to receive a job. However, how are Americans supposed to spend $27,293 per year for college when they have no savings or income to pay for it?

The U.S. government, with the backing of the Federal Reserve, in the same way they created the real estate bubble by providing mortgages to all Americans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, regardless of whether or not they had any capacity to pay the loans back, has been using the exact same easy lending practices to create one of the largest bubbles in U.S. history, the college bubble.

College students borrowed $106 Billion in total student loans for the 2009/10 school year, up from $96 Billion in 2008/09, $94 Billion in 07/08, $87 Billion in 06/07, and $83 Billion in 05/06.

College Loan Breakdown
09-10 $106 Billion
08-09 $96 Billion
07-08 $94 Billion
06-07 $87 Billion
05-06 $83 Billion

Total student loan debt in the U.S. currently stands at $830 Billion and now exceeds credit card debt.

The U.S government has been trying for decades to make college more affordable, but its actions have accomplished the complete opposite effect. College is now impossible for most students to afford without getting deeply into debt to do so. All across the country Americans are graduating college, with mortgages before they even buy a house.

Back in the 1970s, the average college student was able to afford their college tuition without any student loans or help from their parents. They were able to pay for college by working a part time job year round or by simply working full time during the summer when they were off from school. Now only that, but they were also able to afford their own car payments and possibly a small apartment. The U.S. government destroyed this by providing easy student loans to anybody that applied for them without any credit requirements. Over the past decade, any 18 year old has had the ability to take out large student loans without even being asked if they have a job or what their high school grades were, what they intend to major in, or any other information that would help determine their future ability to pay back the loan.

Today two-thirds of students are graduating college with an average student loan debt of $24,000. And, the government is now making the situation many times worse by completely taking over the student load business. Hidden inside the recently past health care bill, the government passed a complete student loan overhaul, where they removed commercial banks from providing student loans to the students. Now, all students will receive their loans directly from the government at artificially low interest rates.

With all the modern technological advances the world has been experiencing in recent years, the cost of a quality education in America should be getting cheaper. It is now cheaper to purchase a plasma television or laptop computer than years ago because the government doesn’t subsidize purchases of these products. If there was a true free market in college education, colleges would be figuring out more cost efficient ways to educate students using modern technology in order to bring tuition down and compete against each other for the enrollment of students. By guaranteeing student loans and providing too much financial aid to students, the U.S. government destroyed the free market in college education.

One NIA member who is 50% owner of a private vocational school, tells us he is legally forced to raise tuition every time the government raises financial aid to students. The government’s 90/10 rule mandates that at least 10% of a private for-profit college’s income comes from non-federal government sources. Therefore private for-profit colleges must keep raising tuition to stay within the 90/10 rule. The government needs to get out of the education business completely and allow private banks to reenter the market and compete against each other in order to offer loans at reasonable interest rates to students who have the best ability to pay them back. The reality is, the majority of the students who qualify for loans today from the government would no longer qualify. But this will force colleges to either bring down their expenses in order to charge affordable tuition, or close their doors for good.

Colleges in America spent $10.7 Billion dollars on construction projects in 2009, down from an average $14.7 Billion spent per year from 2005 to 2007, but still very excessive. Colleges have recklessly spent to build new libraries, gyms, sports arenas, housing units, etc all for the purpose of impressing potential students and their families. None of these projects have added anything to the quality of education in the U.S. Many colleges have very large levels of debt they undertook to build new construction, with most college endowment funds being crushed in recent years due to collapsing real estate and stock market prices, many colleges have very poor balance sheets that won’t be able to withstand the slightest drop in enrollments.

Jocks. Grown up jocks. Excuse me, coaches now, ‘hey coach’, making millions of dollars. Well what does this have to due with education? What a waste. Two bit universities building baseball teams, football teams, basketball teams. For what? To entertain the kids? Yeah you can do this if you’re a very rich society and you have the money to waste. But not during a great recession, and not as the median household income of the country continues to decline. And not as you’re sending all of these kids to get degrees in worthlessness, because that’s what these universities degrees are, a lot of them. It’s a waste of money. It’s a waste of energy, and it’s an affront to anyone who really wants to think seriously about an education, because it has nothing to do with the NCAA.

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.

So you’ve got an artificial system which conned people to use money. And then of course they could create their cities, hire people for standing armies – you can’t get a bunch of guys together to go and conquer anybody if you don’t have some means of keeping them there, something as reward. They’ll just go home eventually and get bored and fed up. So money was always the key to this civilization – building process. This, building of cities, empires, society itself, and the Freemasons like Albert Pike and McHai and a whole bunch of other ones are always extolling their own virtues of being able to build society, build culture…

So we have an elite who have used war, money, cities, culture creation, religion, and all the things coming in to the culture – festivals, generally is based on lunar and solar and stellar mythologies to keep the people in check to keep them happy dumbed-down stupid, and obedient more than anything else – obedience is so important.

And of course the sun god was used down through the ages up until the present day as a reincarnated sun god, you see. It’s the same ole thing we’ve hashed over and over where an invisible god, the grand architect of the universe as the masons call him, always chooses and SON, his own son, to push life into the world. Because they claim that we the profane are dead, you see. In a sense they’re right there, because if you don’t know reality you are dead. Because living as a human means you are a sentient, aware, fully conscious being. You’ll find in all religions they’ll have the same terminology…

Which is the big con today. Everybody is rushing around in their cars as fast as we can go, and they think they’re living because they keep moving. And they don’t do shopping lists anymore – they’ve just got to keep moving and have noise blaring all the time and music playing or something you see, because they are scared to think.

Peace is not peace as you know it. Peace comes when there’s absence of consciousness and opposition to this agenda. That’s what they mean by peace. And peace comes when there’s not enough of you to cause a trouble and those that are left don’t have a functioning brain to use. That’s peace. And hence the rush towards chips and chipping the brain and implants and stuff like that and a totally controlled society. They want peace. They don’t want to give us all this media nonsense, this constant propaganda that keeps us running in circles and chewing the grass like good little sheep.

It takes away from their profits because they want pure profits yous see they want 100% profits from us. And they’ve got to allow us to entertain ourselves to keep us obedient and grazing – and sports and circuses and all of that kind of thing and buying toys, junk from China, as rewards, little Pavlovian rewards at the end of the month, you know. That’s all taking from their ultimate profit and that upsets them because it’s not efficient enough. And the system that’s coming into being they want utter efficiency where a person will not be born unless they have work for you to do.

And we’ve gone through a horror show down through the ages of watching people being oppressed, doing what they do naturally which is to resist, so you have force. And for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction. And of course then they control the conflict, the conclusion the synthesis of it all and before you know it we’ll just move into where they want us to go. We are the sheep they are the good shepherds. Good shepherds pat the sheep. They know them by name. The sheep come up to them and like them, because the sheep don’t know what they’re there for. They think that they are there to be happy. They don’t know, they don’t even ask, why does this shepherd spend so much time taking care of us and talking to us? It’s because the sheep don’t know what they’re there for. They don’t know their function is to feed the shepherd, make a profit, then take the wool and replace them. That’s a good shepherd. A bad shepherd sharpens their knives in front of the sheep and slaughters one, the rest of them are terrified. They run off when they see them. So, the good shepherd wears a suit and tie and says I promise to help you – in whatever category you put yourself into, whichever ready made pigeon hole you put yourself into – I’m left wing, I’m right wing, I’m up, I’m down.. whatever. it’s their system and they lead you where they want you to go.

The Science of Mass Manipulation through crisis creation. An Introduction to the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations

“In our dreams, people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands.” – Fredreick Gates Chairman of the Rockefeller established General Education Board (The World’s Work, August 1912)

Created at Oxford in 1921 by the Royal Institute for International affairs, with later funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations is the nerve center for the global manipulation of human consciousness. Not long after Tavistock was set up by co-founder John Rawlings Rees and others, it became the core of Britain’s Psychological Warfare Bureau, studying the effects of shell shock on British soldiers. Tavistock also played a crucial role in the creation of the OSS (the precursor to the CIA), under the guidance of Dr. Kurt Lewin, with help from Allen Dulles, the German Nazis and the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“Research into the use of microwave weapons and their use for mind control began in the 1950s at Tavistock. The UK institute was researching into ways of mind controlling the British population without them knowing.” – im Rifat Microwave Mind Control

Aside from helping to create the CIA, Tavistock was also the major force behind the formation of NATO and is deeply connected to the Club of Rome.

The Club of Rome works with Tavistock to create propaganda and crisis in order to manipulate the world’s population in a pre-determined direction, toward a collectivist, one world socialistic dictatorship.

Today, Tavistock operates through a vast network of think tanks, NGOs, universities and media outlets to influence public opinion, while breaking down the moral fabric that has held the West together using scientifically-crafted techniques of manipulation.

Tavistock has played an important role in the creation of several institutional centers, including, Stanford Research Institute, The Wharton School at the University of PA & The Sloan School ar MIT. Other groups that work closely with Tavistock include…
The Heritage Foundation
The RAND Corporation
The Hudson Institute
Esalen
Brookings Institution
MIT
Institute for Policy Studies
Walden Research

An important role Tavistock has played in the corporate world, via the National Training laboratories, is the sponsoring of group “sensitivity” and “diversity” programs designed to erase a person’s individuality so that they become a “team player”. The fact is that ‘political correctness’ is all about creating uniformity. Individuality is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it’s told without asking questions.

But now I’m taking American History. Here’s my book – American History. As I was looking through it today in class, I came across something that we will be learning about – America in the New World Order. 1970 to the present. They talk about how NAFTA is a part of the New World Order. The one thing they should talk about is the NAFTA super highway, but they don’t dare mention that in our history books. They also try and promote the already failed war on drugs by saying it promotes extreme violence, and we all know that the war on drugs is a massive failure, but they’re trying to drill it into kid’s heads that it’s a big success.

The German Philosopher Johann Von Goethe once said “there are none more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free.”
But few who hear the words realize that they are the ones to whom Goethe was referring. For the reality is, that every person in the civilized world is enslaved from childhood. They are enslaved in a prison without walls or bars and so few ever even realize it, but all are enslaved nonetheless. And what the people of the world are enslaved to is a system of perpetual self generating debt that is created for them wholly by design by private international banking interests. And the people are taught from an early age to just except this debt, because this is ‘just the way things are’.
But the real reality is that it is not just the way things are, but more the way things have been designed. And all one has to do is glance around them at the state of the world today to realize, that though this is the way things current are, it is most definitely not the way things should be. The most powerful and useful tool a person can ever gain in their life is knowledge. For with knowledge comes wisdom and a deeper understanding. And real truth can be exhilarating because real truth will set you free.

Now Whether you believe in the Illuminati or not; whether you will take the time to listen to so called conspiracy theories or not, there are some things that should be clearly understood by all. And these are not conspiracy theories by any stretch of the imagination. They are well documented, quite traceable and very provable facts. And these facts are as follows:

There is one ruling bloodline that exists on this earth. This ruling Bloodline is very old. It is the same bloodline that has always ruled the earth ever since the days of ancient Egypt and it is very pervasive. For example, many people think that anyone can get to be President of the United States. But the reality is that all US presidents have been Freemasons. And a large number of them are in fact related, and that their lineage can be traced back to European Monarchy and in particular to the line of William of Orange. This elite Bloodline can actually be traced back a good deal further than William of Orange, and even back as far as the royalty of ancient Egypt. And it is this very same bloodline that has ruled the earth ever since; and to which the British Monarchy and the current US President can both ultimately be traced. Many people may be surprised to learn that US President George W Bush is in fact the 13th cousin of Queen Elizabeth the second of the current British Monarch.

Reverence for the royal bloodline and worship of Amen Ra are still carried out in the world today, though it is veiled and secretive. But the symbolism remains true, as always, hidden in plain view. Adherence to such traditions is why each of the three city states of London, Vatican and the District of Columbia all have their own obelisks. The London Obelisk is also accompanied by two sphinx wrought in the image of Thutmoses, indicating that it is in London that the royal bloodline actually resides. The fact that out of all the pharaohs to choose from, the London sphinx depicts Thutmoses, is actually very telling indeed for a number of reasons, but that is another tale.

The British Monarchy is steeped in ancient traditions and symbolism and they do not attempt to hide these connections, they just don’t mention them or answer questions about them. But the signs and symbols are right there for discerning eyes to clearly see again and as always hidden in plain view. Just a look at the Royal Coat of Arms, the Royal Regalia, and the Coronation Throne clearly demonstrates these connections.

The evidence linking that these rulers to the one bloodline does exist and all the information to verify these claims lies within the public domain. It is up to each of you to connect the dots yourself.
More importantly however, is the fact that over the last two hundred odd years there has developed behind this ruling bloodline, another elite class somewhat similar to a priesthood, that remains hidden in the shadows. This shadowy priesthood is the money changers. The international banking elite, consisting of 13 very influential families. And it is this shadowy elite who ultimately controls things from behind the scenes. This control is achieved through covert manipulation of the global money systems, and maintained through an intricate web of interconnected secret societies, through which control over the flow of all money, all resources, all food, and more importantly, all information, through manipulation of the worlds educational institutions and corporate media is also achieved. Many of these smaller secret societies are completely oblivious to the existence of the others, but all lead back to a round table of six, and ultimately, to one at the very top, that is populated by a virtual handful of individuals. It is this handful of very powerful men that controls all the other societies, and through them the heartbeat of the entire world.

The society that sits at the very top was founded on Knights Templar traditions in Bavaria in 1776 by a man called Adam Weishaupt, and this is the order of the Illuminati. The man who commissioned Weishaupt for the task was Mayer Amschel Rothschild, and it was done in order to carry out a plan conceived by Rothschild, and the heads of twelve other families at a secret meeting that took place in 1773. These families included the Warburgs, the Schiffs and the Oppenheimers. The Illuminati has since become the most powerful society in the world. And in the last 230 years, it has been instrumental in helping the Rothschild family accumulate over one half of the worlds total wealth, at the cost of quite literally millions of innocent lives. The horded wealth of this one family alone, could comfortably feed, clothe, and house, every man, every woman, and every child on earth. And this just one of the 13 Illuminati families.

The goal of the Illuminati has always been a simple one and that is to achieve, by whatever means possible, total ownership and control, over no less than every resource, every government, every rock, every drop of water, every blade of grass, and every living creature, both human and non human, in the entire world. And since its inception, for over 230 years, the order of the Illuminati has been tirelessly, relentlessly, and unfalteringly steering its members towards the achievement of that one ultimate goal. Through secrecy, they have so far been extremely successful in their endeavors, in fact so much so, that we are right now living in the time when they intend to see this long spanned work come to fruition. The situation we are witnessing in the world right now is in fact the final endgame of the Illuminati. This is their big grab for ultimate power and mass depopulation.

Some people claim that the Illuminati is a myth and that what is really to blame are organizations such as Zionism. but I assure you that this is not the case. It goes far deeper than Zionism. And such people have simply limited the scope of their vision. They have locked to to an answer that supports their beliefs and have refused to delve any deeper. They are not seeing the bigger picture. Greek Philosopher Socrates once said that true wisdom is knowing how little we actually know and he was absolutely correct. And this is why is important to keep an open mind and allow your beliefs to be flexible enough to change as new knowledge is acquired. And it is important to listen to all the information and not to just that which reinforces your beliefs. Because this conspiracy goes very deep, and Zionism and the Jewish influence over the money system, is merely one layer of it. And it goes still deeper than even the Illuminati. Those who we know as the Illuminati are merely the shadowy controllers.

The plan that is unfolding in the world today is indeed an old one, and it is a plan that is very complex, but not so with the system of control that is in place to blind the people to its existence. This system of control just appears to be complex; but in reality, it isn’t. In reality, its very simple, and very fragile. However it is its apparent complexity that has kept it so well veiled, and it has also been kept very well hidden by constructing a conspiracy culture to breed around it, and by then promoting an air of endless ridicule towards such concepts. Indeed, the creation and proliferation of such a culture, and the promotion of constant ridicule towards it, has been one of the Illuminati’s most valuable assets in obscuring the reality of the society’s existence.

The entire Illuminati system is today operated by the Crown, and what is the crown exactly? Well contrary to popular belief the Crown does not refer to the Royal family or to the British Monarchy, but to the Inner city of London which in actual fact is a privately owned corporation that functions as a completely separate sovereign state, outside the jurisdiction of England, the same as its two sister city states of Vatican and Washington’s District of Columbia, all of which combine to form the Empire of the three cities. Most people are completely unaware that when they swear allegiance to the Crown they are actually swearing allegiance to this private corporate empire owned by the the 13 Illuminati families. These are the same private individuals who also indirectly own and operate the World Bank. And what does the world bank do exactly? well apart from other things, like control global oil prices, it lends money to whole countries by supplying each country’s federal reserve bank and then it collects interest on these loans which is paid by taxing the the labor of the peoples of each country.
Now let me just run that by you again so you clearly understand how this works.

If you live in a country that has a federal reserve bank, then the World Bank, a privately run company that is able to legally create money from thin air, is who supplies your country with money, at interest. And you as the individual is required to pay a tax on your labor to pay off the interest on the governments’ loan from this private bank.

Many people are duped into believing that their taxes pay for infrastructure, and without taxes their would be no roads or schools and the country would fall apart, but this is completely untrue. The government has the legal right to coin its own money and control its value, but it does not. It borrows money from a private bank and uses this bank loan to pay for infrastructure and then you are taxed in order to pay off the interest on the loan. Interest, which from a business perspective, is pure profit for the international banksters.

However you choose to look at things, one thing must be clearly understood, and that is that each person in the western world who has a job, is forced every year, to give away approximately Three months worth of wages in taxes, and that tax money goes directly into the pockets of the private individuals who own and run the world bank.

Its one big, privately run scam. And if you ever allow yourself to be microchipped and cash money is abolished altogether, which is their plan, then all bills and all taxes will automatically be removed from your account when they are due, whether you actually owe the money or not. And if you complain about the system, well they can simply turn off your chip. Since all commerce will center around the chip, you will not be able to buy food, or pay rent or do anything ay all. And there will be absolutely nothing whatsoever that you can do about it. And that is their goal. To limit the size of the population on earth and to microchip those that are left. Then its game set and match and total control of the world and everyone in it will be in the hands of an international cartel of criminal banksters.

This whole scam is being planned and carried out very methodically. It is these people and their minions and puppets, who attend such gatherings as Bilderberg meetings and the Bohemian Grove summer festival, and who still adhere closely to the schools of ancient mystery, which many such as the late Bill Cooper have referred to as the Ancient Mystery Religion. However it is more a mechanism of control designed to reach an ultimate goal, than a religion.

Though steeped in ritual and what many would term ‘black magic’, It is simply a system, the Illuminati system. And though its workings seem complex to the layman, in reality its quite simple, and its also very easy to see once one has acquired the correct manner of looking at things. And there is definite purpose and reason in the ritualistic nature of this system. In its use of numerology, symbolism and ritual. And all that is needed to realize this is a deeper understanding of the true nature of the universe and how we are all connected to it. However this film directs its focus on the system itself and the key to this system functioning, which is through covert control of the money supply by very few people.

It is crucial that people become aware of this issue, because the methods by which society could free itself from this system of control, are also very simple. Once a person has gained an understanding of the true realities of this world we live in, and this is not as difficult a task as you may at first think, because due to its complexities, the illusion the elite have created that most perceive as reality, is a very fragile one. It is fragile because it is not reality.

The reality is that the world does not have to be this way at all. It does not have to be heading in the direction that it is heading. People do not have to live in a never ending sea of self generating debt. Wars do not have to be fought and children do not have to starve. And don’t think people starve because the world is over populated. Don’t believe what the televisions tells you. The world isn’t over populated at all. In fact, lets look at it realistically with a simple comparison of population versus land mass, and we can do a rough estimate and formulate a quick hypothetical to demonstrate this very easily.

There are approximately 6 billion people in the world and there is 2.97 million square miles of land in the island continent of Australia. 2.97 million square miles breaks down to 1,900,800,000 acres which then converts down to 7,603,200,000 quarter acre blocks of land. So we could hypothetically give every person in the world a quarter acre block of land and they would all fit into an area the size of Australia. Each would have enough land that they could all have gardens and grow a substantial supply of their own food, and we would still have 1,603,200,000 quarter acre blocks, or an area roughly half the size of Queensland left over, plus the entire rest of the world. Now let’s pause to let that sink in to your brain for a second. All the people, that’s every man woman and child on earth, would comfortably fit inside Australia; each individual person could have a quarter acre block of land, and we would still have half of Queensland and the entire rest of the planet left totally unoccupied.

The world is not over populated at all. It is just very badly managed. And you need have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this bad management is intentional and it is methodical. It would however be very simple to fix things. And all that is required is for people to wake up to how much they are being lied to and how much they are being scammed. And this goes for everyone.

People really need to gain an understand of how this system actually works, because this bad management is crippling the world and it is crippling the people. The methods that are used to do this become truly transparent once a person has gained a clear enough vision to see it, and people really do need to open their eyes to see it right now. Because now that the world has been made smaller, and now that all resources have been discovered and there are no frontiers left to conquer, the criminal elite intend to carry out a mass depopulation of this world. And their plan to do this is well underway. They are doing it in the Middle East with war, in countries such as Africa through starvation, and now in western countries through water additives, aerial spraying and through the introduction of toxic and nutrient deficient genetically modified foods. And this is to very soon to be taken to the next level with the global introduction of Codex Alimentarius, an insidious set of food guidelines that are due to come into effect world wide on December 31, 2009. But people are now beginning to wake and realize that all is not right, and they are beginning to speak out.

The police need to understand this situation and take action to address these matters as well. And this is very important and there is no reason the police should act against the people who are waking up and speaking out about this corrupt system, for the police are also being scammed just as badly, and in some ways even worse than everyone else. Worse because it is the police who are being coerced and tricked into defending this elitist corruption by puppet governments put in place by banksters, who coerce these officers into compliance by adding creative names to such public awakenings, such as ‘social unrest’ or ‘civil disobedience’, and by instilling a robot like adherence to authority within the minds of police officers, rather than a strong set of moral values.

The police in these cases should stand by the people they are sworn to protect, not blindly follow instructions given to them by the criminal elites. The police need to realize that they too are the people. And they are being stolen from and used as well. And the way to beat this system is for the people, the police, and everybody else to simply stop agreeing with it. And also for the politicians, who bow to these corrupt money cartels and enact these ridiculous pieces of legislation. These politicians need to seriously think about what they are doing. They need to realize that these money cartels don’t care about them, or their families. These politicians have children and grandchildren who are also going to have to live in this world that is being created. And don’t kid yourself that there’s a politician in a position of power somewhere who isn’t a puppet. All are puppets of the money cartels without exception. These people may well have been voted into power, but the voting process is simply theater for the masses, to promote the illusion of peoples choice. The people may vote for one particular candidate over another, but they do not get to actually decide who these candidates will be to begin with.

The people of the world need to realize their own potential and wake up from the dream that they are living in. Forget what you are told and trained to you by the TV’ because it’s a lie. TV is there to train people what to think and how to act. End of list. It is nothing more than a tool of propaganda, that has successfully brainwashed 95% of the western world by feeding people manufactured news, disinformation and giving people an utterly false perception of the the world and of their relationship to each other. Turn your TV off and leave it off. After even a month of no TV, you will be surprised at how much better and how much healthier you feel.

It needs to be clearly understood by people everywhere that the elite only have the power over the people that the people themselves grant to them, so stop giving it to them. Stop doing what the TV tells you, and stop complying with the system. Understand that there truly is no division among the people of the world no matter who they are, or where they are from. We are all people and we are all one. It is through the constantly promoted illusion of division that the system is able to function. But in order for it to do so, it needs public compliance. Stop complying, and you will shut the system down.

You will shut it down completely. Because if people stop complying, it will simply implode. It will collapse like a house of cards. And all it would take for this to occur is global awareness of how it really works.

We have reached a turning point in history and the veil of secrecy that has always surrounded the Illuminati system is now at last being lifted. Now is the time for the people of the world to look after each other, and not the system.

It really is that simple, and the world is almost on the verge of that happening now. Because a new awareness is growing amongst the people. More and more are waking up every day, and they are spreading the word as we all should do as loudly and as loudly as we can. Because the masses who are still sleeping really must be woken up to what is occurring. There is quite literally nothing more important than this issue.

And the plan goes even deeper than the international money cartels. There truly are deep and dark forces at work controlling things here. But it is through the manipulation of the money system that global control is maintained, and it is that system that must first be addressed.

It’s all very well for us to all talk about all of this stuff and to continue learning and gathering more information about it, but the time for merely gathering information is now passed. What is needed now is action, and it is needed very quickly because the prison door is swinging shut.

Please understand that these people plan on depopulating at least 80% of the world, and that most likely includes you. This is not a joke and this is not some wild conspiracy theory, it is the absolute truth. And this matter seriously needs to be addressed. All the information on how they intend to do this is available in the public domain though of course you are not hearing it reported by the mainstream media because the money cartels own the mainstream media.

A great deal of information regarding this is posted on my youtube channel and I highly recommended that you view it and distribute it to as many people as you are able to, because the time for talk really is over. What is truly needed at this time is for the good people of the world to act and to act now. The key is in love and unity amongst all mankind. Because it matters not who you are, what country you are in, or where you are from. It makes no difference whether you are black or white or christian, or Muslim, or Jew, it makes no difference at all what your beliefs are, because the prison that is being constructed affects every one of us equally.

The world that we are allowing to be created for our children to live in, is a world that will not be worth living in. And if we just allow the situation to continue along its current path, then we are condemning our decedents to a hell on Earth. But we are many and they are few and it simply must not be allowed to occur.

It is time for the people of the world to stop and realize that the divisions that supposedly exists amongst us are an illusion. There is no division. It’s time for everybody to understand the truth of this. It’s time to approach the world and each other in a state of love rather, than a state of fear. It’s time for you to tap into the source and realize your own potential, and it’s time for us all to collectively stand together and address the root cause of the problem. And all of you need to spread this information. It’s very important that you do. Burn DVD’s and hand them out to people. Bring the conversation up at every opportunity. This issue is too important to ignore, and if you’re not part of the solution then you’re part of the problem. There’s simply no middle ground here.

Bring all the truth factions of the world together under one banner, the banner of human unity. Set aside your differences and work out the finer details later. Regardless of who or what is the ultimate intelligence behind this plan for global control, everyone needs to understand clearly that the fascist New World Order that is being introduced, and the mass depopulation that is occurring across the globe, is being implemented by the criminal banking elite.

The money system is the head of the snake. Cut the head off the snake and the rest of it will whither and die. The time for talk is over, and the time for action has come. It is now time for the people of the world to stop complying with the system. Everyone.

Stop complying with it and you will shut it down. And the best form of non compliance is love. Approach every issue with love. Rather than obediently following orders given to you by a commanding officer, and rather than doing what is right for you personally, do what is actually right. And, if a leader wants to send you to war, say no sir, I won’t murder other peoples’ children for you any more. You’ll have to go and do it yourself. You will be called coward by the military, but such is not the case. Because it’s much easier to fight for principles than to live up to them. And it takes a far braver man to stand up for what is right, and spit in the face of authority, than it does to blindly follow orders due to fear of the consequences. Understand that we are all one, and the key to real change and unity in this world lies with love.

There need be no violence, no guns, no banners, no slogans, no group think, just a united act of global non compliance. Non compliance for any thing in conflict with the directives outlined in the universal declaration of human rights would be a good start. Simply stop giving these people the power to control you. Understand that the only power they have is the power the people give them. Understand that injustice towards one is injustice towards all. Injustice towards him, is injustice against you, and there should be no grey area in your mind in regard to that. Everyone needs to stop going along with it, and it needs to be done immediately. It’s time to cut the head off the snake.

The Revolution is not coming.

The Revolution is now.

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.”
