BTW have you noticed that Yahoo's
page of CIA links consists entirely of government websites, mostly
the CIA's (with the exception of one, which claims not to be company
ha! ha!). Curious. Well, here you'll find lots of links, most of which
Yahoo seems to believe its users should not know about.
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.

COLOMBIA-BAY AREA DRUG PIPELINE HELPED FINANCE CIA-BACKED
CONTRAS
'80S EFFORT TO ASSIST GUERRILLAS LEFT LEGACY OF DRUGS, GANGS IN
BLACK L.A.
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 ...

News, used to be freely available on that newspaper's web site. No

"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.
Officially, the CIA investigators say they found zero evidence
to support the allegations raised in a controversial three-part
series published in 1996 in the San Jose Mercury News.
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.
The significance of these conditions upon the United States,
its government institutions, the American people, and you.
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.
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."
In defending the story many months ago, however, Ceppos
insisted that "the key finding of the series that people
associated with the C.I.A. also sold many tons of cocaine has not
been challenged." It still hasn't.
Cocaine Import Agency
This web site is a valuable source of information concerning the
"war on drugs" as a strategy of "disciplinary social
control", with particular attention to the involvement of the
CIA in the importing of cocaine and its distribution in urban
America.
The CIA has to be intimately familiar with all facets of the
international drug trade. In fact, many knowledgeable observers
say that the CIA itself is a major mover in the drug smuggling
business.
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 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.
For many Americans, the 1950s were a docile decade. ... But
for the CIA, the I Like Ike years were packed with adventure and
action, much of it conducted outside of the public's view. And few
programs were sheltered with more secrecy than the Agency's mind
control experiments, identified together with the code-name
MKULTRA. 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.
And what about Leary's own statement's that he wittingly
followed the directions of the CIA in the 1960's? When former CIA
Director, Admiral Stansfield Turner was asked whether or not the
CIA supported Timothy Leary or gave Leary LSD, he replied only,
"The CIA gave it to those who were doing the research."
1964 MKULTRA became MKSEARCH. Many sub-projects stayed
under MKULTRA while the most sensitive behavioral experiments went
to MKSEARCH. These experiments were conducted on prisoners,
terminal cancer patients and people who were described as mental
"defectives."

... the CIA is a policy-implementing agency not (primarily) an

When the JIOA formed to investigate the backgrounds and form
dossiers on the Nazis, the Nazi Intelligence leader Reinhard
Gehlen met with the CIA director Allen Dulles. Dulles and Gehlen
hit it off immediately. Gehlen was a master spy for the Nazis and
had infilitrated Russia with his vast Nazi Intelligence network.
Dulles promised Gehlen that his Intelligence unit was safe in the

A CIA panel convened in early 1953 had concluded that the
continued reporting of UFOs by the American media posed a threat
to national security for various reasons. The "Robertson
Panel," as it is now known, recommended that the continued
reporting of UFOs should be actively discouraged through a
covertly exercised mass-media program of "training and
debunking."
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."

Question: If the U.S. government can bomb U.S. consulates
abroad to "simulate terrorism", what might it have done
with respect to the Murrah Federal Building?
The Center for International Affairs ... [attempted] to
promote the perception that the Soviet Union lay behind all
incidents of international terrorism. Their prestige and influence
was so great that when the CIA's own analysts could not find
verifiable proof of a Soviet terrorist conspiracy, the CIA
director, William Casey, chose to rely on the information of
journalist Claire Sterling in her book, The Terror Network.
"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.

Former President George Bush, while serving as vice president
in the Ronald Reagan administration in 1981-89, presided over a
Nicaraguan Contra apparatus that was responsible for flooding the
streets of Los Angeles' South Central district with crack cocaine,
and fueling a murderous cycle of gang violence.

Point" officer between the CIA and the Air Force for
Clandestine Operations per National Security Council Directive

The CIA uses anthrax in its bio-warfare program ...
The CIA has a bio-warfare program? Since when has the CIA
been authorized to engage in biological warfare?
but the bacteria did not make it into tainted letters sent
to two U.S. senators and several news organizations, an agency
official said Sunday. ... a CIA official said the anthrax
detected in letters sent earlier this fall "absolutely did
not" come from CIA labs.
The Washington Post reported Sunday that the FBI is focusing
its anthrax investigation on a contractor who worked with the CIA.
