GARY NULL: The Public's right to know is not always what the Public ends up<br />
getting. The Public frequently gets such one-sided, biased information -- and<br />
not just from the mass media. It's easy to have a long arm that protects the<br />
special interest groups: this kind of a "one world family" of insiders that<br />
is capable of affecting federal judges, U.S. attorneys, to slant or obstruct<br />
justice, to hide or cover up crucial information, and to interfere with our<br />
liberties.<br />
<br />
Daniel Sheehan, as much as any attorney in the United States, and the<br />
Christic Institute have taken it upon themselves to try to challenge some of<br />
these injustices and to give us the information that they have distilled from<br />
their work that gives us a different perspective. Unfortunately, rare is it<br />
that any of the mainstream media covers the work of the Christic Institute or<br />
of Daniel Sheehan. And if they did, it would be a very enlightened Public who<br />
would be benefiting from this. Welcome to our program, Daniel Sheehan.<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: Thank you, Gary.<br />
<br />
GARY NULL: Daniel, earlier on, one of our guests was talking about -- and I'd<br />
like for you to follow through on this theme -- that what we're told in the<br />
media (and what we're told officially from Government sources) and what is<br />
the truth are frequently at varying degrees against each other. Give us one<br />
specific .....<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: That's absolutely true. There has been a major campaign on<br />
the part of the Central Intelligence Agency, for example, to place Central<br />
Intelligence Agency agents, trained agents, IN various news media posts.<br />
We've found the documents on this. It was called "Operation Mocking Bird".<br />
And they placed Central Intelligence Agency operatives in places like TIME<br />
Magazine and LIFE Magazine, the New York Times, inside CBS and ABC News.<br />
<br />
Originally, the intent of "Operation Mocking Bird" was to make certain that<br />
these major media outlets reflected an adequately anti-communist perspective.<br />
And then, of course, as they became entrenched and in-place, any time the<br />
Central Intelligence Agency wanted a story killed or distorted they would<br />
just contact their agents inside. Now they have bragged openly in private<br />
memos back and forth inside the Agency about how proud they are of having<br />
really important "assets" inside virtually every major news media in the<br />
United States. And I've encountered this repeatedly.<br />
<br />
For example, the Chief National Security Correspondent for TIME Magazine,<br />
Bruce Van Voorst[sp], is a regular Central Intelligence Agency officer. It<br />
turns out that Ben Bradlee from the Washington Post was a regular Central<br />
Intelligence Agency officer prior to coming to his post at the Washington<br />
Post.<br />
<br />
[JD: Once CIA, always CIA, unless they go public (e.g. Agee, Stockwell,<br />
McGehee, MacMichael, Marchetti, Riconosciuto, etc.)]<br />
<br />
Bob Woodward at the Washington Post was the Point-Briefer for U.S. Naval<br />
Intelligence of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff before he went over to the<br />
Washington Post.<br />
<br />
[JD: If anyone can summarize or make direct transcripts from published<br />
sources attesting to the CIA's subornation of such journalists as Walter<br />
Cronkite and Dan Rather regarding the cover-up of the assassination of<br />
President Kennedy, please post it as a follow-up to this article. I know,<br />
from my own observations of the Watergate scandal, that Dan Rather was the<br />
most vociferous attacker of Richard Nixon throughout that long series of<br />
press conferences punctuating the process of what we now know to be a<br />
CIA-sponsored soft-coup -- the second CIA coup d'etat in recent history.]<br />
<br />
We find these people constantly in the news media and, as I may have pointed<br />
out to you in one of your shows, when the New York Times was refusing to<br />
print any information about Oliver North and Richard Secord [President<br />
Reagan's assistants], Albert Hakim and Rob Owen, and all of these other men<br />
who, throughout 1985 and 1986, were engaged in this MASSIVE criminal<br />
conspiracy to violate the Boland Amendment prohibiting any weapons shipments<br />
to the Contras, and who were involved in smuggling TOW missiles to Iran ....<br />
as this information was being communicated to the New York Times by sources<br />
that we had, the New York Times absolutely refused to print any of this. And<br />
the reason for it was, according to Keith Schneider -- who was one of the<br />
reporters assigned to at least address this stuff and look into it .... he<br />
said that they were refusing to print any of it because their high-level<br />
sources inside the Central Intelligence Agency refused to confirm the<br />
stories.<br />
<br />
Now, that kind of relationship between self-conscious "assets" of the Covert<br />
Operations Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, a political police<br />
force on an international level, if you will, and an economic police force to<br />
protect the ostensible economic interests of United States industries .... to<br />
place those people inside a news media -- which, under the First Amendment,<br />
ostensibly has the responsibility to critique and investigate potential<br />
injustices on the part of the State, inside the Government -- is an<br />
extraordinarily dangerous development here in the United States.<br />
<br />
GARY NULL: Thank you for that insight. Could you also give us some<br />
understanding of one case in particular (if you could highlight it) that<br />
you're privy to, to show how we can export a form of terrorism, we can<br />
support movements to destabilize DEMOCRACIES in any country whose position we<br />
don't choose to support, where multi-national corporations' interests may<br />
feel threatened and, as a result, we'll use our various branches of<br />
Government to thwart the local populace, invade their sovereignty, disrupt<br />
their complete political system, and how they manipulate the stories in the<br />
Press so that it's NEVER the way that we're told it is.<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: Well, for example, I think one of the most obvious stories is<br />
about the democratic socialist Government of Chile under Salvador Allende,<br />
when he was popularly elected by a significant majority of the populace in<br />
Chile, under a hundred-year-old democracy down there. Now the confidential<br />
documents make it perfectly evident that the Nixon Administration and Richard<br />
Helms [Director] of the Central Intelligence Agency and Henry Kissinger, the<br />
National Security Advisor, began a MAJOR covert campaign to attempt to<br />
destroy that country.<br />
<br />
They mounted what they called the "Track One" and "Track Two" strategies. The<br />
"Track One" strategy was to engage in an overt political propaganda campaign<br />
against the Allende Government: criticizing him constantly, attacking his<br />
economic programs, attempting to give money through A.I.D. and certain other<br />
above-the-table programs to counter the democratic socialist, or mixed<br />
economy that was being advocated by Allende. Politically, it was a completely<br />
democratic process, but economically, they were looking for alternative<br />
mechanisms for stimulating the economy, having some industries supervised by<br />
democratic governmental forces, and others left completely in the private<br />
sector. This "Track One"<br />
<br />
This "Track One" program, however, was not allowed to be the only mechanism<br />
by means of which the Nixon Administration tried to destabilize the<br />
Governmment. They had an ultra-covert program called "Track Two," and under<br />
this program, coordinated by Kissinger and the Central Intelligence Agency<br />
under Richard Helms, they did such things as, for example, they had two<br />
operatives of the Director of Latin American Affairs for the Central<br />
Intelligence Agency, one being Theodore G. Shackley, from 1971 all the way up<br />
to 1973. They, in fact, ran the "Track Two" operation wherein they did such<br />
things as physically kidnap the Chief-of-Staff of President Salvador Allende,<br />
General Schneider and had him ASSASSINATED. They also met covertly with the<br />
military forces under Ernesto Pinochet, a virtual fascist inside the<br />
military, to plan and plot a military overthrow of the democratically elected<br />
government, which they pulled off in September of 1973. And they ultimately<br />
assassinated President Salvador Allende.<br />
<br />
They then pursued the Ambassador of the democratic Government of Chile in the<br />
United States. In fact, they tracked him down and assassinated him right on<br />
the main streets of Washington, D.C. They blew up his car and killed him.<br />
<br />
[JD: The murder victims were Ambassador Orlando Letelier and his American<br />
secretary, Ronnie Moffit.<br />
<br />
Now that kind of activity was being conducted by the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency all the way up to and through 1976 when George Bush was the Director<br />
of the Central Intelligence Agency. It was in 1976 that the Chilean<br />
Ambassador to the United States, from the former democratic Government, was<br />
assassinated. That democratic Government was overthrown by Ernesto Pinochet<br />
and a military dictatorship was established down in Chile.<br />
<br />
These are the kinds of activities that they [the CIA] have been engaged in<br />
for a long time. They have done this pursuant to a doctrine which was<br />
enunciated back in 1954 under a secret commission, that was set up inside the<br />
Central Intelligence Agency, known as "the Doolittle Commission". And they<br />
articulated -- in a classified document which has now been obtained by the<br />
Christic Institute -- stating very specifically that they were engaged in a<br />
secret war against forces of socialism and communism which had an alternative<br />
economic theory of development. And they said that it was necessary to combat<br />
these forces with any and all means necessary. And it said in the report that<br />
it was going to be necessary to abandon the normal standards of decency and<br />
fair play, that are believed in by the American Public, in order to defeat<br />
these forces of socialism and communism. And therefore, it's going to become<br />
inevitably necessary to CAUSE the People of the United States to come to<br />
grips with the need to abandon these traditional standards of decency; and<br />
that that was going to be part of the obligation of the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency: to, subtly and over time, persuade the American Public that it was<br />
naive and impossible to adhere to these standards and principles of honesty<br />
and decency in the international theater.<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: And that, of course, was what were the high halcyon days of<br />
this under George Bush, when he was the Director of the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency, and a little bit earlier when Richard Nixon was the President of the<br />
United States. And when you have that kind of attitude toward the rest of the<br />
world, it becomes inevitable, of course, that that kind of infection tends to<br />
feed back into the domestic policies of the United States, such that you have<br />
Richard Nixon engaging the "Plumbers" unit, and the others who began to use<br />
espionage and basically terrorist tactics against the domestic citizenry of<br />
the United States: infiltrating Black civil rights organizations, the<br />
feminist organizations, the anti-war groups. And, in fact, they began playing<br />
dirty tricks on them: writing false memos, accusing the leaders of certain<br />
movements of committing adultery, or of having affairs with other people<br />
inside [their organizations]; consciously attempting to disrupt and to<br />
destroy any type of democratic [any LEGAL] citizens' organization that took a<br />
position that was contrary to the position advocated SECRETLY by the Central<br />
Intelligence Agency.<br />
<br />
That's the kind of infection that is at the heart of the democratic<br />
principles of our nation that we still see manifesting in things like the<br />
Iran-Contra Scandal with Oliver North and Richard Secord and the others who,<br />
in fact, secretly defied all of our democratic institutions: the resolutions<br />
of the Congress, the clearly enunciated voice of the majority of the people<br />
of our country who did not want to support the Contras in Latin America who<br />
were the former military national guard officers of the dictator Anastasio<br />
Samoza in Nicaragua. And so, these men went underground and undertook<br />
criminal covert warfare which inevitably led them into seeking illicit<br />
sources of money, since they couldn't get it from the tax monies of the<br />
American People. And they ended up establishing alliances with the Colombian<br />
cocaine cartel, that is still in the news, even as of this morning, with<br />
Pablo Escobar fighting his way out of his own luxury prison to escape.<br />
<br />
We have this kind of history, tracking all the way from the end of the Second<br />
World War in 1945 and 1946, all the way up to today, the very day that we're<br />
speaking here, with manifestations of this type of criminal undercover<br />
alliance that they have. And it is hacking at the very heart of the<br />
institutions of democracy.<br />
<br />
GARY NULL: Thank you, Dan, for that explanation. I'm wondering at what point<br />
we will also begin to connect the corporate structures that function as a<br />
government policy think-tank, frequently in the multi-national corporations<br />
in different countries, that decide that THEIR use of the natural resources,<br />
THEIR use of the cheap labor, THEIR use of the local population, THEIR<br />
general support of the dictators, all of this is in THEIR economic best<br />
interests. And then, if there is any dissent .... if there is any<br />
journalistic dissent, political dissent, social dissent, that they can then<br />
contact THEIR friends in OUR State Department who then use OUR Defense<br />
Department as a weapon of foreign policy to protect the interests of these<br />
multi-national corporations.<br />
<br />
Then they whip the media into a frenzy, always showing THEIR side. But it is<br />
never an honest projection, so that when we do intervene, we can violate the<br />
national sanctity of other countries, just like we did with Grenada and<br />
Nicaragua and El Salvador [worst of all, with Panama and Iraq] and these<br />
other countries.<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: Well, there are a number of very stark examples of this, of<br />
course. Historically, Gary, one of the most transparent is the action taken<br />
against Guatemala in 1954 wherein the United Fruit Company, a member of the<br />
board of directors of which was the Director of the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency, Allen Dulles, the brother of John Foster Dulles who, in fact, was the<br />
Secretary of State of the United States [under Eisenhower]. His brother,<br />
Allen was the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a member of the<br />
board of Directors of United Fruit Company, which owned VAST land holdings in<br />
the country of Guatemala, which had been SEIZED from the peasants by a major<br />
military government that was basically installed and kept in power by covert<br />
means of the Central Intelligence Agency.<br />
<br />
When, in fact, the citizenry of Guatemala had organized themselves and had,<br />
in fact, installed a democratic government in Guatemala under Arbanes[sp],<br />
the Central Intelligence Agency coordinated a major covert alliance with<br />
elements of the military in Guatemala and undertook a military seizure of the<br />
government in 1954. That was coordinated by E. Howard Hunt [paymaster to the<br />
assassins of President Kennedy].<br />
<br />
Now, that overthrow was, for one of the major reasons, to reinstall the<br />
United Fruit Company because the new democratic government under Arbanes had<br />
begun to question the legitimacy of the United Fruit Company to hold hundreds<br />
of thousands of acres of irrigatable land under the control of growing<br />
bananas for export, instead of allowing the peasants -- who had originally<br />
owned all of that land which had been illegitimately seized by the military<br />
government -- to be reinstated with the possession of their land.<br />
<br />
So, it was very clear, in that particular instance, that there is a direct<br />
relationship between the economic interests of a privately- owned,<br />
profit-making company, the United Fruit Company, and American foreign policy,<br />
which was undertaken covertly and criminally by the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency, at the helm of which was a member of the board of directors of the<br />
United Fruit Company.<br />
<br />
Now, those things have happened again and again. We have examples in Panama.<br />
We have examples in, of course, El Salvador, and we have examples in<br />
Nicaragua. There's some very unheralded writing in books about this. There's<br />
a former general of the United States Marine Corps, a man named Smedley<br />
Butler, who led three of the expeditionary forces of the United States<br />
Military into Nicaragua back during the 1930s. And he eventually -- from<br />
direct experience on the ground -- came to his own personal conclusion that<br />
he could no longer participate in doing those kinds of things because, as he<br />
said, he realized that he was just a gun-thug for Brown Brothers- Harriman,<br />
the major American capital investment corporation.<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: General Smedley Butler couldn't do this anymore, so he<br />
retired from the United States Marine Corps and eventually led a major<br />
movement in the United States to try to stop this kind of thing. In fact,<br />
when Franklin Roosevelt was elected President, major economic interests in<br />
the United States attempted to recruit General Smedley Butler to lead a<br />
military coup against the United States because there were large elements in<br />
the banking industry -- Jay P. Morgan and all the way up to and including the<br />
father of John F. Kennedy, Joseph P. Kennedy -- who, in fact, were EXTREMELY<br />
sympathetic to the state capitalist system that was being set up by Hitler<br />
and the Nazi Party in Germany. There were major investments being made.<br />
<br />
There were a number of books written, giving great detail about the kind of<br />
support that existed in very high-level industrial and banking circles in the<br />
United States, through the 1930s, for this peculiar concept of economics in<br />
government called "state capitalism," whereby you don't really have just<br />
simple private industry. And you don't have private enterprise and free<br />
enterprise. What you have, instead, is a system by means of which the organs<br />
of the state -- of the government -- gather tax money from the average people<br />
and they transfer it to the private companies that are owned by these few<br />
families. And they subsidize those companies, whether they be major weapons<br />
industries, ball-bearing factories, rolling-steel plants, etc. Major heavy<br />
industry is subsized by the hard-earned taxed salaries of average working<br />
citizens. And they attempt to take away the risks of owning and running huge<br />
private businesses like that under the theory that those businesses are so<br />
big and so powerful that they need to be kept healthy and stable by the tools<br />
of the state and the organs of the state for the general health of the<br />
country.<br />
<br />
So, that's what they do. That's what they did in Germany throughout the<br />
1930s. That was the basic thesis behind what they called "national socialism"<br />
[naziism], which was -- from a purely political science point-of-view and in<br />
economic analysis -- a system of "state capitalism."<br />
<br />
GARY NULL: But that's also one of the tenets of this "new world order."<br />
<br />
DANIEL SHEEHAN: That's exactly right!<br />
<br />
GARY NULL: People should understand where it's coming from. The same<br />
architects of this old capitalist system are now the architects of this new<br />
capitalist system.<br />
<br />
Daniel Sheehan, I want to thank you very much for sharing insights with us,<br />
as always, lucid and in-depth. And I appreciate your participation. Could you<br />
please give us the phone number of the Christic Institute?<br />

<br />
This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted and subverted<br />
state of our theoretically democratic Government. This story makes<br />
disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism is not the waving of flags, the<br />
tying of yellow ribbons and the mindless support of the Government, just<br />
because it happens to be ours. You don't support cancer just because you<br />
happen to have it. Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our<br />
country in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic cancer<br />
that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom. So please post<br />
the installments of this ongoing series to other bulletin boards, and post<br />
hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. That would be a truly<br />
patriotic deed. --- The Christic Institute has recently suffered devastating<br />
blows from a vicious vendetta launched by the same treasonous criminals,<br />
ensconced in our Federal Government, whom the Christic Institute has been<br />
suing for egregious violations of United States laws -- crimes such as<br />
narcotics importation and the terrorist LaPenca bombing, which killed<br />
American journalist Linda Frazier and wounded another American jounalist,<br />
Tony Avirgan. The Christic Institute has evidence showing that the LaPenca<br />
bombing was perpetrated by the corporate-CIA under one of its officers named<br />
John Hull. The Christic lawsuit was met by retaliatory Federal fines designed<br />
to bankrupt the Christic Institute and to hold it up as an example, for all<br />
to see, that this is the punishment that citizens can expect whenever they<br />
dare to interfere with the criminals who usurp the People's Government.<br />
<br />
The Christic Institute is still alive, however, but in desperate need of help<br />
from those few Americans of conscience who still exist in today's selfish<br />
society. Please call the Christic Institute at 1(310) 287-1556 in Los<br />
Angeles, even if it's just to offer a word of support. ---- Over the years,<br />
we've been given purposeful treatments of visual thought-control via the<br />
cinema and television screens. A recent attempt to expunge the historical<br />
truth by washing from the American viewer's brain any notion that the CIA<br />
just might be the real terrorist force that is murdering and torturing<br />
without provocation is the propaganda flick, PATRIOT GAMES.<br />
<br />
Now here we have an innocent CIA agent who is forced by Irish terrorists to<br />
retaliate with utter viciousness, even though it goes against his instinctive<br />
sense of decency. And this mythical two-dimensional screen fabrication is<br />
supposed to cover up the three-dimensional reality of the typical real- life<br />
CIA agent's atrocities, which involve smuggling narcotics to the streets of<br />
United States cities, torturing and massacring oppressed peasants in Central<br />
America, perpetrating terrorist bombings in public places, assassinating the<br />
people's elected leaders and installing naziistic dictators in their places,<br />
poisoning the food and water supplies of populaces, planning, provoking and<br />
leading the holocaust in Angola, wherein two hundred thousand peasants were<br />
slaughtered ....<br />
<br />
So, if combatting terrorists is a "PATRIOT'S GAME," then the CIA, as the<br />
world's dominant terrorist organization, is a gang of TRAITORS. Every loyal<br />
CIA agent routinely desecrates his/her country's principles of "liberty and<br />
justice for all" -- not out of necessity, but because the CIA has<br />
historically been commandeered as a weapon by the ruling elite to seize<br />
possession and power over foreign natural and human resources.<br />
<br />
Don't allow the CIA's "assets" -- moguls in the film industry -- to betray<br />
and deceive the movie-going public who enrich them. Loyal CIA agents are not<br />
"patriots." They are TRAITORS. ---- Right now, Daniel Sheehan and the<br />
Christic Institute are trying to recover from a one-and-a-half million dollar<br />
fine imposed on them by the criminals in the Government who were being<br />
targeted by a Christic lawsuit charging CIA officer John Hull with the<br />
terrorist LaPenca bombing which killed American journalist Linda Frazier and<br />
wounded another American journalist, Tony Avirgan.<br />
<br />
Please help the Christic Institute to get back on its feet and continue<br />
fighting in defense of ours and our children's Constitution. Please call them<br />
in Los Angeles at 1(310) 287-1556, if only to voice your moral support.<br />
<br />
