Concerning the CIA
(for those few who want to know
what it really is and does)
  
For years we have tried to stop the abuses and usurpations by all legal means: elections, demonstrations, legislation, and litigation. 10 years ago, 355 people were arrested blocking CIA headquarters in Langley (NYT 4/28/87). The CIA criminals and their protectors are immune and all powerful. They are part of the largest industry in the world: drugs, which has a stranglehold on the economy, on civil society and on the body politic. Now is the time for people of conscience to commit their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to free humanity from the greatest form of slavery ever devised in the history of mankind. — Dick Ochs

The CIA and Drugs

Mike Whitney: Is the CIA behind Mexico's Bloody Drug War?

  • Daniel Hopsicker: EU Officials: Investigate CIA Plane Used in Renditions Caught with 4 Tons of Cocaine

    The CIA Drug Plane Scandal grew exponentially last week when European Union officials broke an official 40-year-long silence on the previously-taboo subject of the CIA's worldwide involvement in drug trafficking.

  • Michael C. Ruppert's From the Wilderness Publications, including The Democratic Party's Presidential Drug Money Pipeline:

    If there are three "branches" of government today they are the banks and financial institutions, the government as enforcer, and the criminal syndicates. There is no rule of law, there is only the rule of money.

  • William Blum: The CIA, Contras, Gangs, and Crack

  • DE-CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

    It was human folly for the UNITED STATES to empower an agency of government to specifically break its own laws. The CIA and the Constitution thereafter became mortal enemies — until the day one will overpower the other in a final victory. Will we be a nation under law or a nation under law breakers?

    The CIA undermines and assassinates popular leaders abroad — and at home — and fixes elections abroad — and at home. This organization that routinely gets away with murder finds little challenge dominating the world's narcotics trade. By reliable estimates the U.S. CIA and DOD usher in half of the narcotics that come into this country. The very same persons responsible for massive drug trafficking advocate "toughening" the drug laws that alone make this trade so obscenely profitable.

    • The specifics of the extensive corruption in the Central Intelligence Agency, and the harm inflicted upon millions of innocent people in the United States and overseas.
    • The broad extent of the coverups, disinformation, and obstruction of justice by virtually every government check and balance, and most of the broadcast and print media.
    • The true heroes in America (no, not the ball players or OJ!), and how they suffered for exercising courage and responsibilities so tragically absent in the general population.
    • America's "political" prisoners, including agents and operatives of the FBI, DEA, INS, and CIA, and concerned citizens, who are victims of retaliation and who suffer great financial and personal harm, for daring to expose CIA and other government corruption.
    • The grave harm inflicted upon innocent people, a part of the escalating corruption inflicted upon innocent Americans.
    • How to think and speak like an expert on the complex web of intrigue known only to a selected few insiders.
    • The knowledge needed to protect yourself and to minimize the personal, physical and financial harm that are being inflicted upon Americans throughout the United States.
    • The truth about the drugging of America and the phony drug war, from government agents who either discovered the drug trafficking, or were part of it .
    • The felony coverups by one of the most corrupt of all federal agencies, the U.S. Department of Justice and its various divisions.
    • Examples of how federal judges, and even the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, are criminally involved in coverups, obstruction of justice, retaliating against government agents and citizens who seek to report the corruption that they discovered.

  • John Ashton: US Government Still on Ropes Over Lockerbie

    In return for the Syrians using their influence to free the remaining American hostages, the CIA helped them to safely transport their heroin on transatlantic flights.
  • Confessions of an Amerikan LSD Eater

    This covert government involvement in drug trafficking was designed to serve a dual political purpose. On the international level, it provides financial support for covert military operations in the Third World, in furtherance of the strategy of "low intensity warfare" in support of U.S.-based multinational corporations.

    Domestically, the proliferation of debilitating drugs is used to destabilize the oppressed populations of the inner cities, to counteract potentially revolutionary tendencies, and to provide a pretext for the militarization of domestic law enforcement and the erosion of traditionally protected civil liberties, bringing us a step closer to the monolithic police state that the corporate oligarchs have planned for America and the "new world order."

    This report is about American and British involvement in the Afghan drug trade in opium, focusing on the history of such involvement, and the nature of the drug trade since the 2001 occupation of Afghanistan. Today, Afghanistan supplies "more than 90 per cent of the world's illicit opium, from which heroin is made," so who's profiting from the trade?

  • Prof. Peter Dale Scott: Obama and Afghanistan: America's Drug-Corrupted War

    ... the aim of all U.S. anti drug campaigns abroad has never been the hopeless ideal of eradication. The aim of all such campaigns has been to alter market share: to target specific enemies and thus ensure that the drug traffic remains under the control of those traffickers who are allies of the state security apparatus and/or the CIA.

  • The late Gary Webb's three-part "Dark Alliance" Series:

    • Day 1 (1996-08-18): Role of CIA-linked agents a well-protected secret until now
      Colombia-San Francisco Bay Area drug pipeline helped finance CIA-backed Contras

      For the better part of a decade, a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a Mercury News investigation has found.

      This drug network opened the first pipeline between Colombia's cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles, a city now known as the "crack" capital of the world. The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America — and provided the cash and connections needed for L.A.'s gangs to buy automatic weapons.

    • Day 2 (1996-08-19): Shadowy origins of 'crack' epidemic
      Role of CIA-linked agents a well-protected secret until now

  • June 1997: What the Gary Webb Corrections Mean

  • Georg Hodel: Hung Out to Dry: 'Dark Alliance' Series Dies (Also here.)

    "Dark Alliance" built upon more than a decade of evidence amassed by journalists, congressional investigators and agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration who found numerous connections between the contras and drug traffickers. Some of that evidence was compiled in a Senate report issued in 1989. Other pieces came out during the Iran-contra scandal and still more during the drug-trafficking trial of Panamanian Gen. Manuel Noriega in 1991.

    But the contras were always defended by the Reagan-Bush administrations which saw the guerrillas as a necessary geo-political counterweight to the leftist Sandinista government that ruled Nicaragua in the 1980s. With a few exceptions, the mainstream media joined the White House in protecting the contras — and the CIA — on the drug-trafficking evidence.

    ... What's especially troubling about this new "Dark Alliance" tale is that the investigative spotlight was turned off not by the government, but by the national news media.

      The most notorious project was MK-ULTRA, created in 1953. It was, in Gottlieb's words, intended to explore 'various techniques of behavior control in intelligence operations.' It funded an array of research, including electric-shock treatments, hypnosis and experiments designed to program or deprogram a subject's memory.

This report provides a documented overview of the CIA's controversial mind control and behavior modification experiments.
  • John Marks: The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, Chapter 4: LSD

    As a 1963 [CIA] Inspector General's report stated, "Research in the manipulation of human behavior is considered by many authorities in medicine and related fields to be professionally unethical"; therefore, openness would put "in jeopardy" the reputations of the outside researchers. Moreover, the CIA Inspector General declared that disclosure of certain MKULTRA activities could result in "serious adverse reaction" among the American public.
  • W. H. Bowart: Timothy Leary and the CIA

    And what about Leary's own statement's that he wittingly followed the directions of the CIA in the 1960's?

      U.S. intelligence may have played an "unfortunate part" in the death of an American journalist at the hands of Chilean security forces in the days following a 1973 military coup in Chile, according to a declassified State Department document released today ... [which] relates to the killing of freelance journalist Charles Horman. He was apprehended at his home about a week after the Sept. 11, 1973, coup and transported to a stadium where suspected leftists were harbored in the chaotic aftermath of the coup that landed Pinochet in power. The document said that at best, the U.S. intelligence community's role in Horman's death "was limited to providing or confirming information that helped motivate his murder by the government of Chile."

"Read Claire Sterling's book and forget this mush. I paid $13.95 for this and it told me more than you bastards whom I pay $50,000 a year," responded Casey in fury. The irony was that Claire Sterling's book had used material that was in fact part of a CIA propaganda scheme.
