Masters of Persuasion

Power, Politics, Money Laundering, Nazi’s, Mind Control, Murder and Medjugore

Church at Medjugorje

“Our agency’s information on Medjugorje indicates that it is a “psychological terrorist” site.”

This chilling message, from a former Colonel in the Soviet Union’s once vast and powerful security and intelligence apparatus, the KGB, was brief and to the point. It had been received following inquiries made through “official channels” concerning the Catholic shrine in Bosnia. The former KGB Colonel added that Medjogorje was, in effect a “… cult or group where hundreds or thousands of people are forced to act against their wills,” and went on to liken the religious activities of Medjugorje to that of the “… People’s Temples sect of Jim Jones,” as well as to David Koresh’s Branch Davidians and the Swiss and Canadian Solar Temple Church at Medjugorje Cult, in addition to the Heavens Gate sect in California which “… all resulted in hundreds of deaths.” “Medjugorje seems to be similar to cases of mass hypnosis that we have studied in Eastern Europe. In Russia we have such specialists as Anatoly Kaspirovsky and Alan Chumack who have demonstrated these techniques in two ways. First in person (sic) contact with large audiences and second through mass media technology.” The writer then added: “the easiest targets were women” aged between 35 and 55 years. The motive of these mind control activities said the former spy Colonel was to acquire their money and property.

The Colonel went on to reveal that these

“…mind control effects can be enhanced greatly through the use of special technology developed in the former Soviet Union, which has been exported to Yugoslavia in the past. What we are talking about here are devices that can generate mindaltering electromagnetic waves that can be used to induce brain function and behaviour. This research was conducted in a secret experiment under the control of the former KGB.”

On the face of it the Colonel’s message seemed fantastic. It might also have been little more than the result of an anti Catholic prejudice that was widespread in the former communist security apparatus. But a little digging revealed startling corroboration that the former spy may have been telling it like it was. Appearing in the January 11-17th 1993, issue of the prestigious American weekly newspaper “Defence News,” was an article with the caption

“U.S. Explores Russian Mind-Control Technology.” Written by Staff Reporter Barbara Opall, the article revealed that: “The Russian government is perfecting mind control technology developed in the 1970’s that could be used to hone fighting capabilities of friendly forces while demoralizing and disabling troops.”

The technology involved was known as “acoustic psycho-correction” and possessed the capability to “control minds and alter behaviour of civilians and soldiers…” In a series of laboratory experiments that dated back to the mid-1970’s, research revealed that the equipment could be used to “suppress riots, control dissidents, demoralize or disable opposing forces and enhance the performance of friendly special operations teams,” according to the newspapers sources.

The research was “pioneered by the government funded department of Psycho-Correction at the Moscow Medical Academy.” “Acoustic psychocorrection,” said the newspaper, “involves the transmission of specific commands via static or white noise bands into the human subconscious without upsetting other intellectual functions.” Exposure to the subliminal radio waves took less than one minute to achieve “encouraging results.”

More chilling still was the revelation that following “decades of research and investment of untold millions of roubles in the process of psychocorrection has produced the ability to alter behaviour on willing and unwilling subjects.”

An “undated paper by the Psychor Centre, a Moscow-based group affiliated with the Department of Psycho-Correction, acknowledges the potential danger,” of this technology. Russian experts, “including George Kotov, a former KGB General now serving in a senior government ministry post,” list both software and hardware associated with the Russian psych-correction programme that could be “procured for as little as $80,000.

The Russian research paper states in part that: “As far as it has become possible to probe and correct psychic contents of human beings despite their will and consciousness by instrumental means… results having been achieved can get out of [our] control and be used with inhumane purposes of manipulating the psyche.”

Noting that “World opinion is not ready for dealing appropriately with the problems coming from the possible direct access of the human mind,” the Russians proposed a bilateral Centre for Psyche-technologies where US and Russian authorities would monitor and restrict the emerging capabilities,” Defence News said.

In the United States the key liaison between Russian and US officials was the Washington based think-tank, Global Strategy Council, established by Ray Cline, former deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency. According to Janet Morris, a spokesperson for the Global Strategy Council, the Russian capabilities could include “hand-held devices for purposes of special operations, crowd control and antipersonnel actions.” Barely a month after the Defence News article was published, a BBC TV World News report showed that this or similar technology was indeed being contemplated for use in what can only be described as “special operations.” The BBC report was about the siege of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, that resulted in 86 fatalities. The report showed FBI officials being given a demonstration of the Psycho-Correction technology by Russian experts for possible use against the Branch Davidians. According to the report the equipment was not ultimately deployed. However, other film footage of the siege at Waco, including some of the FBI’s own, show a strange and unusual noise generator as well as a low frequency strobe array that was deployed at Waco.

Were one looking for intriguing parallels between the Medjugorje sect and the Branch Davidians, it is at least worth noting one curious fact of geography. Originally named “The Shepherds Rod” - due to the phrase in Micah 6:9 that states “Hear ye the rod” - the Branch Davidians were founded in 1929, by Victor Tasho Houteff. Curiously perhaps, Houteff was born in Raikovo, Bulgaria, the former communist country that borders the now fragmented Yugoslavia. Houteff went on to found the Mount Carmel Center near Waco, Texas in 1935, with eleven of his followers. By 1955 around 125 members resided at Mount Carmel. This clearly gives the New Davidians an Eastern European flavour, at least in their origins.

By all accounts, Vernon Howell, who later changed his name to David Koresh, was a powerful visionary in the way he viewed the Bible. Koresh believed he would single-handedly bring about the second coming of Jesus Christ by opening the “seven seals” of the scroll mentioned in Chapter 5 of the Book of Revelations. The scroll is said to reveal the events that bring the world to an end.

JIM JONES, THE CIA & THE LATIN CONNECTION

The story of charismatic sadist Jimmy Jones, and the massacre in 1978, of over 900 men, women and children of the People’s Temple in Guyana, remains for many a chilling enigma. Billed by the media as a mass suicide of religious cultists, this remains the generally held view. However, evidence has continued to mount which strongly points to the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency in what numerous observes and investigators now conclude was a “mind control” experiment gone wrong.

Born in 1931 in Crete, Indiana, Jones developed an interest in the more esoteric subjects such as Voodoo, faith healing, ESP and, more importantly, techniques of mass conversion. The abilities he developed in these areas would be critical in later years in Jamestown. But he made other “connections as well that were to prove equally significant. Early in his life, during his early teens he became a friend of Dan Mitrione, then eleven years his elder and the Chief of Police of Richmond, Indiana. Mitrione, a Navy veteran joined the Richmond Police Department in 1945, and worked his way up the ranks. He would later join the CIA under the State Department’s Agency for International Aid (AID) “cover.” In 1960 he was posted to Brazil where he taught police techniques of “hostile interrogation” – a euphemism for torture.

Mitrione’s posting preceded the Defence Department and CIA’s secret plans for a military coup against Brazilian President, Joao Goulart, ordered by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. The coup was successful and aroused little attention by the media at the time. Even so, the whole of Latin America had been targeted by the US who wished to gain complete control of what they saw as their “backyard.” Mitrione was later kidnapped by Tupamarco guerrillas in Uruguay and assassinated. The connection between Mitrione and Jones raises the question: was Mitrione Jim Jones CIA handler? As we shall see, the answer in all probability is yes.

Ever since WWII, covert US military and intelligence operations were plentiful in Latin America. Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil and other South American states were quick to offer sanctuary to thousands of former Nazi war criminals on the run from justice at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. Even as the US sought convictions and death sentences for some of the more notable members of Hitler’s regime at Nuremberg, the US was simultaneously helping other Nazi’s and members of the feared SS, to freedom via the US sponsored Vatican “Ratlines.” Included were some of the most abysmal killers the world has ever known. Top Nazi’s like Dr. Mengele – who conducted inhuman and terrible experiments on concentration camp victims – together with Gustav Wagner, Commandant of the Sobibor death camp, and Franz Stangl, who commanded the extermination camp at Treblinka, were amongst those helped to freedom and comfort. Likewise, the notorious Klaus Barbie, who was also known for his skill at “hostile interrogation,” which he developed in occupied Europe during WWII, as a feared member of the Gestapo. More recently, forensic evidence published by author Hugh Thomas in his book SS-1, demonstrates that the body of Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, wartime chief of the SS was not that of Himmler at all, but a double. Himmler, it now seems, escaped to freedom with the countless thousands of other Nazi’s. ^[1]

These Nazi connections will, as we’ll shortly see, dovetail directly to Jim Jones and Jonestown. Not least of these, however, was the use of advanced techniques of hypnosis which Jones used on his followers. It is more than passing interest to note that that involuntary human experiments using hypnosis and narco-hypnosis techniques featured in some of the gruesome experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on inmates at Dachau concentration camp. This involved lacing inmates’ drinks with the mind-altering narcotic, Mescaline. Other “mind control” experiments using drugs – described as “brainwashing with chemicals” by one informant - also took place at Auschwitz. The Auschwitz experiments resulted from the Gestapo’s realisation that extracting information from prisoners being interrogated under torture was not as efficient as they hoped.

The Dachau experiments formed part of a lengthy report issued by the US Naval Technical Mission who had been tasked with gathering all available scientific data from Nazi Germany at war’s end. This report triggered the US Navy’s interest in Mescaline as an interrogation technique and, in turn, became an integral part of the US Navy’s 1947, OPERATION CHATTER, aimed at developing methods for getting information from subjects against their will without inflicting physical injury.

With any lingering thoughts of the holocaust pushed firmly in the background, the US Army Chemical Corps and the newly created CIA actively sought Nazi expertise in designing and building gas chambers. Eight former Nazi scientists, including the notorious Otto Ambros – later nicknamed the “Devil’s Chemist” - advised the US Army’s Chemical Corps on technical considerations. The idea was to find ways of “surreptitiously rendering a subject unconscious or to cause him to breathe some type of gas that could make the subject more suggestible or pliable…” stated one CIA memo regarding their interest in gas chambers. ^[2] The simple fact that Otto Ambros had been convicted at the Nuremberg trials of slavery and mass murder, for which he was sentenced to eight years in prison, did not prove a problem. Such was the quality of his “expertise” that unnamed American officials commuted his sentence after just three years and with the assistance of multimillionaire Peter Grace, of W R Grace, helped Ambros in a bid to enter the United States. ^[3]

Otto Ambros would later directly work as a consultant for Peter Grace, who, coincidentally headed the American Chapter of the Knights of Malta and has been a long-time associate of the CIA. The relationship between top CIA officers and the shadowy Knights of Malta is cemented in the fact that many Directors of Central Intelligence and other executive level officers are also members of this knightly order. In fact, membership of the Knights of Malta (known as “SMOM” an abbreviation of its full title of The Sovereign Military and Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes) and American intelligence pre-date the CIA. William (Bill) Donovan, the head of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS) – the precursor to the CIA - was associated with SMOM. As was James Jesus Angleton, the CIA’s hard-core counter intelligence expert until he was fired by President John Kennedy. Another DCI who was a knight was Bill Casey who was chief of the CIA during the Reagan Administration. Earlier, Bill Colby, who headed the spy agency during the Vietnam War era was approached to become a member but declined. Other senior CIA knights included William Buckley and John McCone. On the US military side General Alexander Haig was appointed a knight of SMOM. This almost unbroken but subterranean connection between the two is reported to extend to the current DCI, George Tenet, according to a former CIA source.

Perhaps the relationship has something to do with the fact that the Knights of Malta are the said to be the Vatican’s own intelligence network. And if one were to seek a Nazi connection to SMOM, just to place matters in historical perspective, it would not be long in coming. Reinhard Gehlen, the former Nazi intelligence supreme who went to work for the CIA immediately after the war and later founded the present day German intelligence agency the BND – the Bundesnachtrichtdienst - was awarded SMOM’s Cross of Merit decoration.

Moreover, Franz von Papen, a Knight Magistral Grand Cross of SMOM, was vital to Hitler’s assumption to power and was soon rewarded for his able assistance by being appointed Ambassador to Austria – an appointment not without considerable significance when it is recalled that Austria was Hitler’s own birthplace. With such high profile Nazi’s being honoured by, or elevated to membership of SMOM, both before and after WWII, it is not difficult to conclude that SMOM’s sense of justice and concern for the ills of the human condition – which it trumpets today as its principal raison d’etre - falls woefully short of accepted norms. By 1949, interest in hypnosis by the American military and intelligence community had resulted in a study conducted for the US Air Force by the Rand Corporation. In his “Research Memorandum,” Rand’s Irving L Janis discussed such matters as “Inducing Hypnosis Against A person’s Will” as well as “Introducing Post Hypnotic Amnesia” in the subjects to ensure they would be unable to remember having being hypnotised in the first place. ^[4]

However, causing amnesia by hypnotic suggestion was by no means a new or unique skill for US intelligence operatives. George Eastabrooks, a military intelligence expert had developed these skills during WWII by programming “hypnotic couriers” who, unknown to even themselves, were hypnotised to carry sensitive messages. Using a technique he described as “locking” Eastabrooks was able to embed secret messages in a courier via hypnosis. The courier would then be sent to a given destination where another officer would “retrieve” the message via hypnotic techniques. The courier was programmed to be conducive to hypnosis by only Eastabrooks and the nominated officer receiving the message. The use of a code phrase was sufficient to place him in a hypnotic trance. Others attempting to hypnotise the subject would hit a roadblock unless they also knew the code phrase in question. In this manner, detailed and highly sensitive information could be securely locked in the vault of the subject’s subconscious to be retrieved only by those who knew the correct combination to unlock it. Eastabrooks believed this technique was virtually “foolproof.”

In an article published in the April 1971, issue of Science Digest, Eastabrooks boasts of splitting the personality of what he describes as a “vulnerable” US Marine Lieutenant during WWII. He named these personalities “Jones A” and “Jones B.” Jones A was programmed to become a communist and was given a dishonourable discharge by the Marine Corps to unknowingly infiltrate communist cells to the extent he became a card carrying party member. At the same time, Jones B, the deeper personality became the silent controller who knew what was really going on but had been programmed to remain silent but watchful and able, under hypnosis, to report back the experiences of Jones A – the “created” communist. This obviously was without the consent or knowledge of Lt. “Jones.” ^[5]

These and other early studies in hypnosis would eventually lead to the CIA’s now notorious MKULTRA project that sought, amongst other things, to create a programmable assassin compelled to kill on command and who would be incapable of acting under their own volition. The reason given for these questionable activities was firstly; to fight the Nazi’s in WII and later, to combat the perceived communist threat that resulted from the so-called Cold War. Yet there were deeper, more enduring and far more cynical reasons that lay behind both these conflicts (and later ones): money.

It is now no longer a secret that Hitler’s rise to power was aided in considerable part by finance he received from Wall Street bankers. Professor Antony C. Sutton, admirably details this in his book WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER, first published 1976. Sutton exhaustively demonstrates that for the Wall Street bankers and their elitist friends, designer conflicts and destabilisation constitutes a never-ending cash cow that when milked, floods billions and trillions of dollars into corporate coffers. But the principal ambition is and was to control governments and capture markets for exploitation by the few.

Likewise, it is also no secret that the Nazi hierarchy harboured virulent anti-Bolshevik sentiments that brought them close to Elites in England and America and which ultimately found temporary satisfaction in Hitler’s attack on the Soviet Union in 1941.^[6] What is less well known is the fact that it was the same gaggle of Wall Street interests that helped finance the Bolshevik revolution in the first place. We again turn to Professor Sutton who explains why Wall Street financed the Russian Revolution in this manner:

The gigantic Russian market was to be converted into a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control. ^[7]

Which just goes to show how much value is put in a “captive market” by the dominant financial elites. Those who meticulously planned to extend economic hegemony over the furthest reaches of the European continent as far back as the turn of the last century would, of course, have not even blinked at meddling in Latin America, long regarded as America’s own backyard.

With the influx into South America of significant elements of SS apparatus, courtesy of a plan secretly hammered out between SS General Karl Wolff – head of the SS in Italy at the time – and Allen Dulles, the number two man in the wartime OSS, thousands of hardened and battle tested “shock troops” were made secretly available to ensure the backyard stayed loyal to US interests.^[8] of course, included wholesale murder and assassination, political destabilisation leading to a US sponsored coup d’etat and widely applying techniques of torture learned at the hands of experts like Gestapo war criminal, Klaus Barbie. These developments went hand in hand with other “democratic” enterprises such as honing and developing the existing infrastructure of the narcotics industry to the point where it has become such a dominant part of Latin America today. ^[9]

THE RIBBON THAT BINDS

It was into this politically unstable atmosphere that, in 1977, Jim Jones took the fateful decision to move his church to Guyana, along with over 900 adherents. Perhaps Jones’s decision to move to foreign parts had something to do with having made the mistake of exposing himself in a men’s toilet. Unfortunately, the person Jones chose for his display was a policeman. This led him to undergo psychiatric treatment. Nor was this wasn’t an isolated incident. Jones’s sexual perversions included child molestation amongst other things. Blind to his own foibles and not one to ruminate on hypocrisy, Jones once cruelly flogged a member of his flock on the penis for having sexually abused a child.^[10]

Jim Jones on the left

It must be viewed with some interest that it was not an uncommon practise for individuals with certain sexual proclivities – especially paedophilia but homosexuality as well - to be targeted for recruitment by the CIA. One notorious example was that of David Ferrie who was later to feature in Oliver North’s movie JFK in an excellent performance rendered by Joe Pesci. Ferrie regularly sought to recruit to his CIA sponsored secret team, young men who either idolised him or became willing supplicants to his sexual requirements.

But David Ferrie’s activities were darker and deeper than just the failed Bay of Pigs Operation Mongoose and the assassination of President John F Kennedy. They included the whole gamut of off-the-books special operations for the CIA and extended well into Latin American territory. In fact, it was Ferrie who recruited the biggest US drug-runner in history – Barry Adler Seal – long regarded as the king among those shipping dope from South America for their masters in Langley, Virginia. ^[11] Moreover, Ferrie moved in those circles where ultra right-wing and Nazi philosophy was rampant. For example, his close colleague, former FBI man Guy Bannister (also featured in Stone’s movie JFK), had a strong leaning towards Nazi, fascist and far right ideology. However, this may just have resulted from Ferrie’s homosexuality for it is a well established fact that gay men were drawn in their droves to the Nazi Party and especially to the SS due to the image it fostered of hard-man masculinity.

For example, Ernst Roehm, leader of the infamous SA (Sturm Abteilung) Storm-troopers, was a notorious homosexual. Other notorious gay Nazi’s included SS General Karl Ernst, Reinhard Heydrich, Walter Funk, Hans Frank and Rudolf Hess, whereas Reichsmarshall Hermann Goring entertained himself by dressing in drag costumes and wear “campy” makeup. It is even believed that Hitler may have been gay and while this has not been proven, his defence of Roehm’s and others’ sexual proclivities and the fact that his personal bodyguard were almost exclusively selected because of their homosexuality adds credence to this suggestion. ^[12] Hitler’s sexuality, if not exclusively gay, was certainly jaded and involved his interest in coprophilia and other degrading forms of perversion. ^[13]

Ferrie’s close confidants were also part of the homosexual underworld. These included the sado-masochist CIA officer, Clay Shaw (also portrayed in Stone’s film JFK) who was put on trial by Jim Garrison, the New Orleans District Attorney, for his part in the assassination plot. Shaw was exonerated in the trial and died five years later from Cancer, aged 61 years. Another is thought to have been mafia figure, Jack Ruby, who shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald in front of Dallas’s finest. Ruby was rumoured to have been gay, was never married and usually lived with young single men, components of his life that strongly suggest that he too, was homosexual. Not least, Edgar Hoover, the Director of the FBI who was charged with investigating the assassination of President Kennedy, was a notorious homosexual.

These sexual proclivities clearly constitute some of the ties than bound together these otherwise disparate individuals and groups. On the one hand, were countless officers and assets of the CIA who were recruited because of their sexual persuasion. On the other hand were numerous former SS and Nazi veterans who likewise had gay leanings and who having escaped punishment for their war crimes, were ferried to safety along the Vatican ratlines, thereafter going to work for the CIA. Into this mix appears the name of Cardinal Francis Spellman of New York, who was listed as the “Grand Protector” the American chapter of SMOM. In addition, Spellman has been implicated in the Vatican run Ratlines due to his closeness to then Bishop Montini who later was to become Pope Paul V1, in 1958.

It has been reported that in 1963, Jim Jones was living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and decided in November of that year to have decided to return to the United States because of the assassination of President John Kennedy. It remains unclear why this event would prompt his return. An English language newspaper, the Brazil Herald – believed to have been owned or secretly supported by the CIA – states that Jones was working for the investment company Invesco S. A., located in Rio. The company went bankrupt in 1967 resulting from a scandal. According to Invesco’s former assistant manager, Jones was appointed as a commission only “salesman” – a favourite ploy of the CIA that provides overseas “cover” for CIA covert operators without the need to perform daily duties. According to the foregoing assistant manager, an American, Jones didn’t do particularly well with the firm having not made even one sale, a fact that has given rise to the question how Jones supported himself during that period?

According to author Jim Hougan, Invesco S. A., was dominated by local Americans English, Germans and Swiss. The latter contingent, Hougan states, includes “a number of individuals who arrived in Brazil in the mid to late 1940’s.” ^[14] Another of those to have close associations with Invesco was Ferdinand Legros, who described himself as a “playboy, millionaire, art dealer and CIA agent.” ^[15] An Egyptian by birth he was a homosexual “whose lovers included the Secretary General of the United Nations (Dag Hammerskjold) and members of the French Cabinet,” and who was reported to have been personal friends of Dr. Henry Kissinger.^[16] But there is more. Ronald Biggs of Britain’s Great Train Robbery fame, made his way to Rio following his audacious escape from prison following his 30-year sentence for his part in the train robbery. Biggs had the help and assistance of an international criminal network who gave him plastic surgery and helped him travel to Australia and when discovered there, onwards to Rio. Biggs patrons in Rio were the owners of Invesco, according to Hougan’s research.

More significantly, author Piers Paul Read in his book “The Train Robbers” states that the finance and planning for the Great Train Robbery and a number of the subsequent escapes as well, came courtesy of General Otto Skorzeny – perhaps a reason why over half the money stolen in the train robbery has never been located. Otto (Scarface) Skorzeny, billed as Hitler’s favourite Commando, was for the early years of the war a member of the infamous SS Division “Adolf Hitler Bodyguard.” Invalided out of that Division in 1941, he went on to command, train and build his Jagdkommando that became legendary for their daring attempts to assassinate Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin and later the Supreme Allied Commander, General Eisenhower. After the war Skorzeny, an unrepentant Nazi, was the mastermind behind the Die Spinne (the “Spider”) network that aided former SS and Nazi’s to the safehaven’s in Latin America.

In recent years much has come to light about the shadow activities of Skorzeny during the cold war years. For example, he operated as a go between for former Nazi intelligence supreme commander, Reinhard Gehlen and the SS. Among Skorzeny’s associates was Ante Pavelic, the former Croatian Ustasha dictator cum Nazi puppet, who was also helped down the Ratlines to freedom in South America. Pavelic later teamed up with Dr. Josef Mengele and Walter Rauff – who designed and built the mass gas chambers in Auschwitz. Both were at large in Paraguay when Pavelic joined them. All were to become de facto assets of the CIA as a result of their ongoing relationships to Gehlen. Both Skorzeny and Gehlen have been associated with “Operation 40” a CIA covert assassination squad operating out of Mexico City in 1963. Identified members of Operation 40 include Barry Adler Seal, known CIA assassin, Felix Rodriguez (who would later feature in the Iran Contra affair), and Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. ^[17] Others who have been named as part of Operation 40 are Chi Chi Quintero and Lois Posada Carriles, who have also been associated with the Iran Contra affair. ^[18] Operation 40 is said to have been the brainchild of former President Richard Nixon, during his years as VP in the Eisenhower Administration. ^[19]

Nixon, no stranger to duplicity and deceit, had Nazi sympathies and personally recruited ex-Nazi’s to assist in his 1968 presidential campaign. Another US President, George Bush, who was a former director of the CIA and Ambassador to China during the Nixon Administration, likewise shared a shadowy Nazi past. George Bush Senior’s maternal Grandfather, George Herbert “Bert” Walker was numbered among the top US bankers who financed Hitler’s rise to power. George Senior’s father Prescott Bush continued the family tradition during his days at Brown Brothers, Harriman, the Wall Street investment bank that had exceptionally close business ties to Hitler and the Third Reich. Both Nixon and Bush Sr. were closely associated with Allen Dulles who prior to the outbreak of WWII represented numerous Nazi interests, including I G Farben, the massive Nazi conglomerate that ran a slave camp at Aushwitz as well as manufacturing the gas, Zyklon B, used to deadly effect in the Nazi gas chambers. ^[20]

Nixon’s “Murder Inc” – Operation 40 – was, at one time overseen by Howard Hunt (Watergate), and other well known CIA spooks such as Thomas Clines, Edwin Wilson and Ted Shackley, have all at one time been associated with it. ^[21] According to the massive JFK assassination database, Coup D’etat in America, Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis were identified as two of the tramps that were arrested in Dealy Plaza on the day John Kennedy was shot. Barry Seal had worked with Sonia Atala – the “Snow Queen” - a major Bolivian drug trafficker, who was deeply involved in the 1980 Bolivian Coup D’Etat known as the “Cocaine Coup.” The coup began when paramilitary squads in combat fatigues and ski masks – along with swastika armbands – swept through Bolivia’s capital city, La Paz, shooting at anyone or anything that moved. These paramilitaries, who styled themselves as “The Fiancées of Death,” were not even Bolivian but spoke with French, Italian, German as well as Spanish accents. Part of the prior arrangements involved a financial deal between the military conspirators and Bolivia’s biggest drug dealers to protect the drug flows once power had been secured. This was all part of an ongoing CIA Latin American strategy called Operation Condor. Condor had already assumed some public awareness following the Robert Redford movie “3 Days of the Condor.” Former Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie, who had lived in Bolivia for many years under the name of Klaus Altmann (thanks to the Vatican Ratlines) was the man responsible for organising the paramilitary groups essential to the Bolivian end of Operation Condor. Other state’s who formed part of Operation Condor were Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay – all bolt holes for former Nazi’s. Condor could be dated back to as early as 1965 in a US Army programme aimed at crushing left wing dissent in Latin America. It was this programme that also gave rise to the infamous Phoenix assassination project in Southeast Asia during the era of the Vietnam War.

According to a source named as “Gus” in Daniel Hopsicker’s book “Barry & The Boys,” Operation Condor was:

… the result of years of careful planning designed to take over an entire hemisphere…” “…It was the conquest and then the plundering of an entire, nearly virgin, continent, for the benefit of the American intelligence operatives involved in the operation.” ^[22]

COUNTDOWN TO CATASTROPHE

Death at Jonestown

The countdown to mass murder at Jonestown began on 17th November 1978, with the arrival in Guyana of Congressman, Leo Ryan (D-CA). Ryan had been approached by family members who had relatives at Jonestown and who were desperate to get them out of the clutches of Jones. A group of relatives accompanied Ryan together with members of the press. Ryan’s sole objective was to make a determination if any US citizens were being held against their will. Ryan was also accompanied by Richard Dwyer, Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy. Dwyer was the CIA’s resident station chief in Guyana, a fact that remained unknown to Congressman Ryan. Jones had made it crystal clear that Ryan’s visit was unwelcome and tension filled. In fact, Jones had taken the precaution shortly before Ryan arrived to transfer $1 million to offshore banks in Panama and Switzerland. He had also arranged for a cargo of cyanide to be shipped upriver to Jonestown, ready for use. Meanwhile, Ryan and his contingent were fed and found sleeping quarters. The contingent of family members who had arrived with him also had the opportunity to spend time with their loved ones.

The following afternoon, having spoken with Jones and various members of the People’s Temple, Ryan said his farewells and departed for the airstrip at Port Kaituma to board two light aircraft that were awaiting him and the others accompanying him. Video footage showed CIA station chief Dwyer walk him to the aircraft and then curiously ducked out of sight, never to be seen again. At that point a trailer-tractor arrived with around eight men on board all armed with rifles. They immediately began shooting. Sounds of the ambush rippled echoed around the airstrip.

When the shooting ceased Ryan and five others lay dead, including the NBC Cameraman who had travelled with Ryan. As the death-squad returned to Jonestown, one of the damaged aircraft took off for Georgetown to alert the authorities. Back in Jonestown, the macabre began in full swing. Over the speaker system that was used day in and day out to rally and harangue his members, Jones spoke a monologue of death in a dazed and repetitive fashion. Audiotapes have him saying that he didn’t know who actually killed Ryan, but he (Jones) was responsible. “He shouldn’t have come here… I told him not to come here.” Children were rounded up and using needle less hypodermics, had cyanide squirted into their mouths. Adults who refused their dose of cyanide were forcefully injected.

Jones, who plainly had plans to escape was killed by a single gunshot to the head. The identity of the gunman remains unknown but one of the last orders issued by Jones over the loudspeaker system was: “Get Dwyer out of here before something happens to him.” Dwyer, however, claims not to have returned to Jonestown following the ambush of Ryan and the others at the airstrip. Despite this a message was sent on a secret CIA radio channel stating that a “mass suicide” had taken place. The only functioning radio in Jonestown belonged to Dwyer. On early Sunday morning security forces and a US Army medical team arrived to witness the devastation. Bodies were strewn everywhere.

Over the course of the next few days the body count would increase from around 200 to 913. To this day controversy continues to rage about how low the body count could have happened on day one, when almost 800 American passports had been found within hours of the arrival of the security detachment. This had led to consideration that some one or some entity was “managing” the news?

Among the many curiosities that continue to baffle experts is the fact that six months after the event only one-third of the bodies at Jonestown had been positively identified. To this day no death certificates have been made available and, more curious still, is the fact that only seven autopsies were conducted, which led forensic expert, Dr. Cyril Wecht to comment: that every American citizen who dies under suspicious circumstances has a right to an autopsy. Even those bodies that were autopsied had previously been embalmed and had their internal organs removed, a procedure that led to repeated criticisms of “ineptness,” “doing it backwards” and just plain “embarrassing.” Of those seven, five bodies were classified as “probable cyanide poisoning.” For decades following this tragedy, the media continued to typify Jonestown as a “mass suicide” of religious cultists. This despite the fact that Dr. Leslie Mootoo, chief medical examiner and senior bacteriologist for Guyana – who had conducted examination of many of the bodies at Jonestown – concluded that “more than 700 of the victims had been murdered.” ^[23]]

A multi-million lawsuit brought by Congressman Ryan’s daughter named Jones as a “CIA operative.” The lawsuit was dismissed on a technicality and was never tried. In fact there was only one lawsuit relating to Jonestown that was brought to trial. This was the case brought against People’s Temple member, Larry Layton, for murdering Congressman Ryan, which was prosecuted by San Francisco U S Attorney Joseph Russoniello. Layton was found guilty as charged. Clayton’s defence attorney, claiming that Clayton was under mind control, tried to examine Dwyer about his CIA work but was blocked by the trial Judge on arguments from Justice Department attorneys representing Dwyer. These and over facts about the case have led some to question if the trial was an attempt to control and minimise what may have been a sensitive CIA mind control experiment.

It is therefore of considerable significance that U S Attorney, Joseph Russoniello, who prosecuted the case, was named as a member of The Association of Former Intelligence Officers.” ^[24]

In 1996, a few years before his death in October 2000, Robert T. Crowley – who had served with the CIA from 1948 through to the mid-1980’s, as Assistant Deputy Director for Operations as well as being the number two man in the clandestine Directorate of Operations, gave selected journalists access to some of his historically important and extensive personal files.

Crowley’s files covered many subjects that ranged from the assassination of President Kennedy through to the CIA’s secretive mind-control programme MK-ULTRA, on through to the Southeast Asian assassination “Phoenix” programme as well as Operation Condor – all of which are matters we have touched upon to some degree or other hitherto.

Crowley’s files also included a detailed alphabetic listing of names of CIA sources throughout the world. The list had 2,619 names, including that of Joseph P. Russoniello, who resided at 100 St. Francis Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94127. ^[25]

SAFE HANDS FOR THE SECRET STATE?

Is Joseph Russoniello a spy-lawyer, someone whose allegiance is to the CIA and the secret government that is said to control the political process from behind the scenes?

A cursory glance at Russoniello’s career suggests this may be the case. In addition to his involvement with the People’s Temple prosecution, Russoniello has been involved in many of the more high-profile law cases of recent years. Respected journalists like Robert Parry - who specialises in intelligence and political corruption stories - have written scathing articles about Russoniello’s handling of the now infamous “Frogman Case.”

This case was at the heart of a series of stories published by, Gary Webb, a staff writer for the San Jose Mercury News, called The Dark Alliance, which implicated the CIA in the narcotics traffic. The charge that the CIA and other members of the US intelligence community are deeply involved in the global drugs business is nothing new. Respected academics like Professor Peter Dale Scott and Professor Alfred McCoy are amongst many others who have provided compelling evidence that the CIA are the de facto guardians of dope. In fact, McCoy’s groundbreaking book “The Joseph Russoniello Politics of Heroin” is subtitled “CIA Complicity In The Global Drug Trade.”

During a radio interview in 1991, McCoy stated, “…drug lords, connected to the CIA and protected by the CIA, were able to release periodic heroin surges and [in Latin America] periodic cocaine surges.” He then added “You can trace very precisely during the 40 years of the cold war, the upsurge in narcotics supply in the United States with covert operations.” Likewise, Berkeley Professor, Peter Dale Scott, author of “Cocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies and the CIA in Central America,” exhaustively details CIA knowledge of and complicity in protecting Latin American drug lords.

Gary Webb’s Dark Alliance series rocked the nation with its charge that the CIA had knowingly supported Contra operatives who were responsible for the crack cocaine epidemic that hit the country in the early 1980’s. Such was the righteous outrage of the CIA at these charges that Webb was in effect sacked from his job as his editor and other senior staff ducked responsibility. A report later published by the CIA proved that Webb was right all along.

This CIA report also deals with another Contra connected drugs trafficking case where the CIA had “discouraged” investigation. This was the socalled “Frogman Case,” where swimmers wearing wet suits were apprehended with 430 pounds of cocaine they were bringing ashore near San Francisco. In all, almost fifty individuals, including numerous Nicaraguans, were arrested and the drugs and some cash was seized and impounded. Complications arose for the CIA when Francisco Aviles Saenz, a Contra political operative living in Costa Rica, wrote to the federal court in San Francisco stating that $36,800 seized in the case belonged to the Contras and he wanted it back. Incredibly, the money was “returned” to the Nicaraguan cocaine dealer arrested by the FBI. Congressional records show that Senate investigators later tried to establish why US Attorney, Joseph Russoniello, had authorised the return of the money. But the Congressional investigators ran into a roadblock of official secrecy, according to Jack Blum, former chief counsel to the Senate subcommittee that investigated the many allegations of Contra cocaine trafficking. “The Justice Department flipped out to prevent us from getting access to people, records – finding anything out about it,” Blum told Webb. ^[26]

THE ROAD TO HELL

Inside Wewelsburg's

Maybe it is just because California is California and has more than its fair share of he bizarre, but even so it isn’t everyone who gets to sample the full breadth and richness of the strange, weird and downright outrageous. The latter adjective is barely apt for another case involving US Attorney Russoniello that ties right in to paedophilia and Satanism inside the US military.

On 5th February 1999, in testimony given in a Nebraska District Court regarding a nationwide paedophile ring allegedly linked to some of the most powerful political figures n the nation, Noreen Gosch, stated that her son Johnny, just 12-years old, had been kidnapped off the streets of Des Moines, Iowa. The abduction took place on 5th September 1982 as he was doing his early morning paper deliveries. Based on 17 years agonising investigation about what happened to her son, Noreen Gosch told the court that she had evidence linking Lt. Colonel Michael Aquino (now retired) to the paedophile ring responsible for her son’s disappearance. She claimed that her son’s disappearance and the abduction of many other children too, formed part of the CIA’s secret MKULTRA programme. Gosch said of Aquino: “He was in the military, He had top Pentagon clearances. He was a paedophile. He was a Satanist. He’s founded the Temple of Set. And he was a close friend of Anton LaVey. The two of them were very active in ritualistic sexual abuse. And they deferred funding from this government program to use it [in] this experimentation on children.” But these allegations were only the beginning. What Noreen Gosch said next was enough to stun the Court. The experimentation in question was designed to “deliberately split off the personalities of these children into multiples, so that when they’re questioned or put under oath or questioned under lie detector, that unless the operator knows how to question a multiple-personality disorder, they turn up no evidence.” But why do this? What does it achieve other that satisfying the warped urges of sadists and the sexually depraved? According to Noreen Gosch the purpose is simple: “They used these kids to sexually compromise politicians or anyone else they wish to have control of.” She added “We have the proof. In black and white.”

Another witness in the trial, Rusty King, the personal photographer for the defendant Larry King, told journalists that in the late 1980’s he saw King hand over a suitcase full of cash and bearer bonds to Aquino. This money was earmarked for the Nicaraguan Contras, he claimed. The shocking story of Larry King’s paedophile ring is told in John DeCamp’s book THE FRANKLIN COVER-UP. ^[27]

By coincidence, Decamp was a close personal friend of the late Director of the CIA, William Colby. In fact, William Colby who was the CIA station chief in Saigon during the Vietnam war was the de facto architect of the Phoenix Programme that accounted for 20,587 deaths between 1968 and 1971, roughly 31% of the 67,282 persons who were “neutralized” – according to later testimony given by Colby. ^[28] In April 1996, Colby died in what the media hyped as a boating accident. The circumstances, however, remain highly suspicious and have led to many observers and writers to suspect foul play.

In 1987, San Francisco police raided Aquino’s home in Russian Hill following allegations that he and his wife Lilith had brutally raped a fouryear old girl at the house. The main suspect in the case was Baptist minister, Gary Hambright, who was indicted in September 1987 and charged with sex offences on six boys and four girls with ages ranging between three to seven years. At the time these alleged offences occurred, Hambright was resident at the Presidio US Army base, where Aquino was stationed.

An article appearing in the San Francisco Examiner on 30th October 1987, reported that one victim had identified the Aquino’s as participants in a rape and had filmed scenes of Hambright’s molestation of a young girl. The child provided such detailed evidence of the Aquino’s home that police raided it. There they found and confiscated 38 videotapes, photo negatives and other evidence showing that the home had been the centre of a paedophile ring operating at US military bases. Aquino claimed that he was not present when the alleged molestations occurred and was not indicted.

Months later the charges against Hambright were dropped by US Attorney, Joseph Russoniello. Despite there being clear evidence of child abuse – several of the children concerned had contracted venereal disease – there was not, in Russoniello judgement, clear evidence linking Hambright to the crimes. Non-the-less, a year later the U S Army sent letters to the parents of 56 children who claimed to have been molested by Hambright, advising them to have the children tested for HIV, as Hambright had been reported to be a carrier of the disease. A month later, Aquino and his wife were questioned by Army investigators following charges that both had molested two children, one a 9 years old girl and the other an 11-year old boy. The young girl’s father, Captain Adams-Thompson had alerted the FBI about allegations of child abuse on his daughter. Aquino responded by charging Captain Adams-Thompson with “conduct unbecoming an officer” – presumably as he had stepped outside the Army chain of command by going directly to civil law enforcement authorities with his complaint. This led Aquino to be investigated for “false swearing,” in addition to the original charges of child abuse. While no case was ultimately brought against Aquino, the Army took the decision to transfer him from the Presidio US Army base to a reserve Centre in St. Lois. ^[29]

In July 1991, Michael Aquino initiated a low-key civil law case against the Secretary of the Army, to have the US Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) remove his name from the CIS Report of Investigation (ROI), which listed him for offences of “indecent acts with children, sodomy, conspiracy, kidnapping and false swearing.” ^[30] This followed a review made by Lt. Colonel Schwender, staff judge advocate for the Presidio, who determined that there was probable cause to title Lt. Colonel Aquino with these offences. Following a complaint by Aquino, Colonel Gilligan reviewed the CIS report and recommended deleting plaintiff (Aquino) from several charges that had been investigated. The commanding general of the CID agreed and adopted those recommendations in September 1990. Even so, Lt. Colonel Aquino remained titled for “indecent acts with a child, sodomy, conspiracy, kidnapping, indecent acts and false swearing.” ^[31]

Aquino’s July 1991 civil action to have these charges deleted from the record was denied by US District Judge, Claude M. Hilton, who found in favour of the Defendant. Aquino, who was a highly decorated Green Beret in Vietnam, was also highly regarded in the military Psyops fraternity where he held a top secret clearance. His own brand of Satanism included officiating at occult rituals carried out at Wewelsburg Castle, Germany. The castle was renovated for SS chief, Heinrich Himmler, for SS pagan-occult ceremonies. Aquino’s purpose in carrying out the occult ceremony at Wewelsburg was, he said, to recreate an Order of Knights loyal to Satan. His “Temple of Set” literature called on readers to study books such as Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” “The Occult Roots of Nazism” and “Hitler the Occult Messiah.”^[32]

Of interest too, is a report authored by then Major Aquino and Colonel Paul E. Vallely, titled “From Psyop to Mindwar.” This report bears a “Top Secret” notation and was circulated to the US “Psyop Community and the US Army War College, amongst others. While the address list on the copy in the possession of this writer has been mostly redacted, it is possible to make out the words “Office of the Chief of Staff” which suggests that a copy was also sent to the Joint Chiefs. Arguing that the US lost the Vietnam War not because they were outfought but, rather, “out-Psyoped” “in the streets of American cities,” the report called for greater emphasis to be placed on “MindWar” directed through the US Media. The report added that “coercive” measures if they are to work effectively must remain undetected. Delivery mechanisms for making targets “receptive to ideas” would, the report argued, need to take full advantage of the ability of electromagnetic weapons such as Extremely Low Frequency Waves (ELF). In other words, Mind Control technologies then in development.

Aquino’s and Vallely’s study clearly hit the spot inside the Pentagon. Most of us are now aware that the military has for some years now, been able to manipulate news and “spin” the major media when it comes to reporting of US military involvement overseas. The lessons of being “Out-Psyoped” at home have been taken on board and are not to be repeated in the future. That the lesson was indeed learned was clearly demonstrated in the reporting of the 1991 Gulf War, when CNN stole the show due to the access it had to direct feeds from US military satellites. For those who continue to harbour doubts that mind control technologies form part of the US military arsenal, they need do no more than point their internet browser towards the US Navy’s Joint Programme Office – Special Technologies Countermeasures website and read about the Technical Information Exchange Group’s (TIEG) planned “special invitation only” conference hosted by the United Stated Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, scheduled for the Autumn 2002. The conference is designed to “facilitate the interaction and information exchange between the developers and users of special, nonkinetic technologies (my emphasis). ^[33] The category of “non-kinetic technologies listed for “operational planning” and discussion are as follows:

• Electromagnetic Weapons
• Acoustic Psycho-Correction
• Chemical Attitude Adjustment
• Visual Stimulation & Illusions
• Material Degraders
• Non-Penetrating Projectiles
• Incapacitants
• High Pressure Water Systems
• Concealed Weapon Detection
• Electronic Disablers
• Acoustic Systems
• Combustion Inhibition
• Immobilizers
• Olfactory Chemicals
• Laser Systems

Number two on this list, “Acoustic Psycho-Correction” is the self same “Mind Control” technology that has the ability to “control minds and alter behaviour of civilians and soldiers” and which also “involves the transmission of specific commands via static or white noise bands into the human subconscious without upsetting other intellectual functions,” that is aimed at altering the “behaviour on willing and unwilling subjects,” reported in the Defence News article discussed earlier on page 3.

ENTER THE DRAGON

Mainland Chinese Soldiers

On 11th May 1999, the world awoke to the news that a B-2 bomber flying from Mainland Missouri had bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. In all, five 2000- pound near-precision weapons called Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM’s), were unloosed with the aid of satellite guidance. The bombing lead to the loss of life of three Chinese civilians plus 20 more casualties. In a flurry of diplomatic activity United States officials hurried to apologise for the bombing explaining that a targeting error by the CIA had occurred and that the intended target was, in fact, the Yugoslav Federal Directorate of Supply and Procurement (FDSP) located hundreds of metres away.

Thereafter, the CIA analyst responsible for making the target error who used “out of date maps” which lead to a “tragic mistake”– according to CIA Director, George Tenet - was fired. Seventeen months later, in a joint-exclusive report, the London Observer newspaper and the Denmark’s Politiken newspaper revealed that the Chinese embassy had been purposely targeted, following the discovery that it was being used to transmit signals for Milosevic’s Yugoslav Army. The Observer article also revealed that the Chinese were suspected of monitoring cruise missile attack in the hope of developing effective counter-measures against the missiles. Chinese spying on the US military is nothing new. Years earlier, in 1995, America was rocked by the so called “Chinagate” scandal in which Chinese intelligence officer, James Riady, and his Chinese intelligence front company, the Lippo Group had operated with suspected Chinese spy John Huang, an employee of the Lippo Group.

According to Judicial Watch, a private US pressure group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, Huang had been “placed” in the US Commerce Department via the offices of President Clinton and First Lady Hilary Rodham Clinton. There he had been the recipient of regular national security briefings from the CIA. Huang was believed to have faxed details of these briefings to Riady and the Lippo Group. During five depositions taken by Judicial Watch, John Huang invoked the Fifth Amendment almost “2,500 times and was held in contempt for failure to answer 140 times.” ^[34] Under Judicial Watch questioning, Huang refused to respond to questions that he had passed classified material Riady/Lippo and Chinese intelligence and also refused to answer when asked if Hilary Clinton was involved. When Riady came to Court for trial, a plea agreement was negotiated behind the scenes and supported by both the Clinton and Bush Administrations. The plea agreement called for Riady to serve 400 hours of community service and a fine of $8 million. Moreover, the plea agreed that Riady should undertake his community service in Indonesia. This was in stark Contrast to John Huang who had earlier been sentenced to 3,000 hours of community service. During a “six and a half hour sentencing hearing, Bush Justice Department lawyer Dan O’Brien stated that Riady would not be prosecuted for anything further, including breaches of US national security.” ^[35] At the heart of the matter, according to Judicial Watch, was large-scale bribery by Lippo Bank, running to 2,000 or more illegal “contributions” to President Clinton and other senior US political figures during an election campaign.

Representing Lippo Bank and its agent James Riady, in the proceedings was attorney Joseph Russoniello, now in private practise. Russoniello told the Court that his clients, Lippo Bank (which had in the interim become defunct) through the offices of its successor entity, were amenable to accepting the terms of the plea agreement. ^[36] In a 1996 article published in Covert Action magazine, Prof. Dr. Michael Chossudosky – an economics professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada – wrote forcefully that the “disintegration” of the former Yugoslavia was a result of “the strategic interests of Germany and the US.” This, he argued, sprang from the “…domination of the global financial system [by] the Western Powers [who] in pursuit of national and collective strategic interests helped bring the Yugoslav economy to its knees and stirred it simmering ethnic and social conflicts.” Prof. Chossudovsky went on to state that “With a Bosnian peace settlement holding under NATO guns, the West has unveiled a “reconstruction” program that strips that brutalized country of sovereignty to a degree not seen in Europe since the end of World War II. It consists of largely making Bosnia a divided territory under NATO military occupation and Western administration,” and is a process which amounts to a “colonization” of Bosnia. ^[37]

The process of destabilization and take-over by stealth of a nation state for cynical financial motives, was more fully revealed in an October 10, 2001, interview with former World Bank Chief Economist – and Noble Peace Prize Winner for Economics - Joe Stiglitz. In this interview, Stiglitz, who had publicly “blown the whistle” on World Bank and IMF policies, outlined how things really work behind the scenes. Using a small number of nations (Russia, Ecuador, Rwanda etc) as examples of the process of domination and take-over, Stiglitz, says that the “first step” is one of “Briberization” where a nation’s assets are forcibly “privatised.” This is followed by “Capital Market Liberalization,” a euphemism for deregulation that results in the outflow of “hot money” as national treasuries are drained.

Next comes sharply higher prices for foodstuffs and other basic necessities that results in enforced poverty for a majority of the target nations citizens. There are many losers as this process takes hold, Stiglitz says, but the clear winners are “Western Bank and the US Treasury” who make “the big bucks off this crazy new international capital churn.”

World Bank plans such as those cited by the former World Bank economist are “devised in secrecy” and “undermine democracy.” In Stiglitz’s view, the banks and corporations who push these plans to fruition “don’t’ care if people live or die” as a consequence of them. Citing plans for Ecuador as an example, Stiglitz revealed that the World Bank’s expected that its medicine would “spark social unrest – to use their bureaucratic term for a nation in flames.” And faced with this “unrest” the chosen state managers are briefed to face down “civil strife and suffering with, ‘political resolve’ - and still higher prices.” The article went on to add that you “almost get the impression that the riot is written into the plan.^[38]

During the 1990;s, the dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia continued unabated. In Croatia, once the stronghold of Ante Pavelic’s wartime Croatian Nazi regime the Ustashe (and remaining today a hothouse of these same fascist tendencies) Uncle Sam was doing what it does best – surreptitiously providing weapons and military support in Contravention of the 1991 UN arms embargo. This “assistance” followed on the heels of Pope John Paul II’s visit to Zagreb in 1994. The Washington based Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI) was authorised by the Clinton Administration to upgrade Croatia’s war fighting ability from its eastern-style military doctrine to a western one. MRPI was no lightweight corporation. It employed numerous retired senior officers from the Pentagon including the former US Army Chief of Staff General Carl Vuono. As part of the agreement between MRPI and the Croats, representative of the latter were given “State Department clearance to attend special course at US bases and schools.” ^[39] According to British and French intelligence sources the assistance provided to the Croats included “advanced US computer technology and fire control systems designed to give them battlefield superiority.” ^[40] Other US sponsored “activities” in this region that also defied UN sanctions, was the use by the CIA of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) as a go-between to channel Chinese and North Korean made “weapons and Mujahideen mercenaries to the Bosnian Muslim Army in the civil war in Yugoslavia.” ^[41] In 1994, with US knowledge and connivance, thousands of Mujahideen fighters from across the Muslim world flooded into Bosnia.

According to a 22nd September 1996 article in the Washington Post, the Sudan based Third World Relief Agency (TWRA) said to be a “phoney humanitarian organization” was linked to the Bosnian arms pipeline. TRWA is reported to have connections to the “Islamic terror network [of] Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman” – the convicted mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing – and Osama Bin Laden, the wealthy Saudi terrorist implicated in the 11th September 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. {{Ref|42] Bin Laden is said to have links to the Western backed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) which is funded in part from the narcotics business originating out of the “Golden Crescent” of Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Drugs with an estimated street value of $400 billion a year flood through the Balkan route where they are said to account for 80% of heroin destined for European markets.

Whether it is mind control, murder, mayhem, Nazi ideology, the fleecing of the flock at Medjugorje, or just plain old-fashioned gun and dope trafficking, it seems that such things are destined to remain the same no matter what. The only constant permitted is the “Great Game,” where the “mighty” few pursue wealth and power in complete disregard of the consequences imposed on the rest of humanity.
