Official narrative
CIA involvement was denied for about 20 years, most clearly by the #3 man in the CIA, Charles A. Briggs. His purjured declaration was entered as evidence, and lacking contradictory paperwork (because this had been denied the defense) the jury believed the incredible story that Edwin Wilson has independently collected almost the entire US stockpile of C-4 (plastic explosive) and arranged to fly it to Libya, as well as organised training of Muammar Gaddafi's military in bomb making, and sold them a bunch of other weapons.[1]
The Weapons Deals
CIA officer, Edwin Wilson, brokered a number of weapons deals to Libya. Michael Ruppert wrote that Wilson lived in Libya "for extended periods between 1977 and 1981". The most extraordinary of these deals was in 1977, when a 42,000 pound load of C-4 plastic explosive (represented almost the entire US domestic supply) was flown out of Houston International Airport to Muammar Gaddafi's Libya, followed by training in bomb making by US Green Berets.[2]
Subsequent deals involved handguns and other weapons. A scheme to ship more than a thousand M16 rifles to Gaddafi put the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms onto Edwin Wilson back in late 1977.[2]
2003
Edwin Wilson is freed from jail, but his claim against the purjurers is denied; he never received compensation.

| Document:Ed Wilson's Revenge | report | January 2000 | Michael Ruppert | An example of how plausible deniability worked for the CIA - their 3rd most senior CIA official produces an affidavit that they had had no dealings with Edwin Wilson since 1971. Although legions of insiders knew this was a lie, the court accepted it. Finally exposed as a lie almost 20 years later, all those who lied in court are given immunity. |
Rating
4 July 2016 Robin Summary of a very revealing event which has slipped down the memory hole.In the late 1970s, the deep state shipped the entire US stockpile of plastic explosive to Libya, and trained the Libyans how to use it to destroy jumbo jets. When this was exposed, the #3 person in the CIA perjured himself by denying any knowledge. When this deception was exposed, almost 20 years later, no legal action was taken against him.
