This is the iceberg--a collection of articles and annotated bibliographies on the Mena-gate and Shadow Government scandals, conspiracies, and cover-ups. Annotated Bibliographies and Mediagraphies This section is divided into the following bibliographies and "mediagraphies:" n Internet Resources n Whitewater and Clinton-Gate n Foster-Gate n Media-Gate (CIA Control of the Media) n Mena-Gate n CIA-Gate/Drug War n Global-governmentalism These political scandals, cover-ups, and conspiracies are all related. Like night follows day, each political crime gener- ates its own cover-ups. Whitewater and Clinton-Gate covers a general area that includes Foster-Gate, but the latter has taken on a life of its own. Whitewater overlaps both Mena-Gate and CIA-Gate, when one delves into the history of the "Banana Republic of Arkansas" during the Bill Clinton Governorship. The Inter- net Resources section covers them all plus world-governmentalism, which is a con- spiracy to extend the US Shadow govern- ment to the world, at the price of subverting and subordinating the US Constitution to the UN and other inter- national organizations that are controlled by a wealthy and already powerful inter- national clique of communist/fascist elites. The USA Federal government has become so big and so corrupt that the intentions of the Founding Fathers-who mistrusted their government, although they loved their country-and who deliberately put in place a system of checks and balances in the Constitu- tion-such as the 10th Amendment, which endorses all but the noted excep- tions of power to the individual Feder- ated states-have been almost entirely neutralized. The Depression of the `30s opened the door to FDR's massive Keynesian gov- ernment intervention. Generations of "liberal do-gooders" followed suit by throwing tax payers' hard-earned money at every good cause they could imagine, as if money grew on trees, as if the "Gov- varmints" could actually be trusted with it, as if the resulting bureaucracy would somehow remain supremely "Yankee efficient," and as if the Constitution were totally irrelevant, pandering to votes by implying that it is virtually criminal to be rich and that the hard-working taxpayer who gains money through initiative, resourcefulness, and the exercise of pri- vate enterprise owes a living to all those who are "not making it" through the instrumentation of "progressive taxa- tion." But the biggest boost to the thriving con- tinuance of the corrupt system, is the ignorance of the public itself, who are duped into thinking that Good Old Uncle Sam is still the same nice guy they expected him to be, before Pres. Truman founded the CIA. (Actually, Uncle Sam is still a good old guy; it is just that there has been a coup, and he is being held captive in the cellar by the evil "Gov-var- mints." Conventional wisdom in the USA postu- lates that the US Government is not as corrupt as most other foreign govern- ments. To some extent that is true, but it is also true that corruptio optimi, pessimus est and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Because the US is so rich, complex, and powerful, it attracts the highest of the high-rollers in games of power and greed of state and industrial collusion.

Media-Gate (CIA Control of the Media) Bibliography Media-Gate is the conspiracy of the bulk of the Media to act as a government department of propaganda and disinfor- mation ("On Bended Knee"). Much of the media is also being used as a tool of world-governmentalists to hasten the agenda of world individual disarma- ment and single world domination by a fascist/communist elite, led by the USA's CIA and Shadow Government. For example, after Terry Reed (see Mena- Gate Bibliography below) was acquitted on charges fabricated by Governor Clin- ton State Police Chief and the FBI, Time magazine-under the managing editor, Strobe Talbott, future Assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton Administration- dropped their work on an article about Mena and produced a hatchet job on Reed. Clinton at this time was running for president. (Also, see the article by Wayne G. Walker, below. This article quotes Jim Norman as alleging that over 100 key media executives are CIA opera- tives. Enough key individuals of the Media, the Executive (bureaucrats) and of the Con- gress, and even Presidential candidates, are bought and/or intimidated by the CIA so that all hearings and investiga- tions run the risk of becoming scandals, cover-ups, and conspiracies in them- selves.

Washington Weekly, 9/18/1995 issue, pre- sents information on the CIA's use of the "Periscope" section of Newsweek as a favorite means of spreading disinforma- tion to the public. Washington Weekly, 11/06/95 Editorial: "Internet Become Serious Threat to Establishment" (The following articles posted to the CS list with permission:) The fax machine played a role in the crumbling of the Evil Empire because fax networks were used to disseminate information, written outside the Soviet block, that countered the official version of events distributed by the government TASS news agency. The role of the Internet in today's Amer- ica is not much different, although the analogy to the Soviet empire should not be taken too far. Consider what happened last week, when a London newspaper wrote that the investigation into the death of Vince Foster has been seriously botched by fal- sification and suppression of witness tes- timony by the government. Via the Internet, the story immediately reached the shores of the United States and was widely distributed. The story was met by silence from the official press. Later in the week, a news conference was held in Washington to reveal that the Fos- ter "suicide note" released by the White House was a forgery. The news media was in attendance, but only to make sure that the news did not get out. It was the Internet (and its alter ego, talk radio) that made sure that the news reached every remote town and village in America. These events just illustrate how the Internet sabotages the ability of the Washington Establishment to control the news. The Washington Establishment is not going to sit idly by and let this hap- pen. Apart from frequent attempts to portray the Internet as a refuge for pedo- philes and terrorists, you will see a direct attempt to prohibit free speech. The seeds of this new effort to void the First Amendment on the Internet may have been sown in a Washington Post editorial last week. The editorial asked "Is speech on the Internet like speech in a public square or is it more like speech in a privately owned mall, where "reflec- tors" and demonstrators need permis- sion?" The Washington Post is the unofficial organ of the Washington Establishment, not unlike the role played by the Pravda in the evil empire, and is thus a harbinger of what evil the Establishment has in store for us.

Lee. `The gist of the story is that the USA is more interested in implicating Nicaraguan Sandinistas in drug running than in prosecuting smugglers. Also the US Government funded contras with drug money. Jorge Luis Ochoa of Colum- bia was captured in Spain. The DEA (at least one agent was also member of Lieut. Col. Oliver North's team) offered to have extradition bungled if Ochoa would implicate the Nicaraguan Sandin- ista government in cocaine trafficking. Ochoa refused. After 20 months, Spain decided that USA was seeking to use Ochoa as a political instrument and denied extradition to USA. Ochoa had fled to Spain in June 1984 after being implicated in the assassination of Lara Bonilla, the Columbian Minister of Jus- tice who had crusaded against his coun- try's $5 billion per year cocaine trade. Alder Berriman Seal (Barry Seal) said he flew 1500 kilograms of cocaine from Columbia to Managua for Ochoa. The story quotes The Wall Street Journal as reporting that four imprisoned drug pilots who knew Seal said that Seal was part of contra supply network, deliver- ing weapons and drugs. Seal also took secret photos of Sandinista soldiers load- ing cocaine on his C-123 transport (the same plane as shot down with Eugene Hasenfus). Ochoa contributed money to contras. Ramon Milian-Rodriguez told Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nar- cotics and International Operations that he had funneled $10 million to the con- tras through former CIA operative Felix Rodriguez in 1983. James Kible, Madrid Spain based DEA agent assigned to Ochoa case and another DEA agent, Vic- tor Oliveira were caught while boarding a plane for Switzerland at Madrid Bara- jos Airport with $5 million in cash, sup- posedly for North's contra-aid team.

A well-known article that ran in the monthly Texas Observer quoted a DEA agent as saying that drugs were being smuggled into the country from El Salvador. Several newspapers embel- lished the story, saying that North had been aware of the drug trafficking. The Washington Post checked into the story and concluded that the DEA agent had NOT said that North knew about the operation." A reply on the CS list: "If The Washington Post ran an article claiming that this DEA agent "had NOT said that North knew about" what was going on at Ilopango airport in El Salvador, then *The Post* was disseminating misleading and inac- curate information about this matter (as usual). The agent you happen to be referring to is a gentleman by the name of Celerino Castillo III. Mr. Castillo was the Drug Enforcement Administration's top man in El Salvador in the early 80s. Last year, Mr. Castillo publicly accused Lt. Col. Oliver L. North and other gov- ernment officials of collaborating with drug traffickers at Ilopango airport in El Salvador to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. in return for using a portion of the profits to buy weapons and supplies for the Contras.

Terry Reed is a former Air Force Intelli- gence officer (with a top secret clearance and a distinguished record) who became an operative of the FBI and CIA during the CIA Iran-Contra operations in Mena, which airlifted guns to the South and drugs and cash on the return leg. Reed was recruited by the FBI and later by Oliver North who was a CIA agent oper- ating under-cover as John Cathey, an FBI agent. Reed worked with Barry Seal and the head of the CIA Arkansas office as a flight trainer for the Contras and a tal- ented and trusted operative. He was a firsthand witness to the guns, cocaine, money-laundering, and Contra training aspects of the operation. When security began to unravel in Arkansas, because of leaks, mistakes, a nut on diet pills, the Clinton/Dixie Mafia's clumsily muscling in on the CIA arms manufacturing, and "shrinking the laundry" ($$), demanding the State's "take," of 10% be "upped," and inquisi- tiveness on the part of some investigators of the media and some of the local fed- eral, state, and local authorities who were not part of the Clinton machine, the CIA decided to pull the plug on the Mena operation. They called a meeting with Bob Nash, Gov. Clinton's AFDA liaison. Clinton must have surmised it was about something big and he showed up unan- nounced. A hostile confrontation ensued between Clinton and Johnson, CIA direc- tor Casey's representative. Clinton lost his cool at the high-point shouting at Bob Nash, "Don't you just sit there on your black ass and take this Yankee shit! Tell `um about..." Johnson, however, had order from Casey to butter up Clinton to remain on tap for his future role as Presi- dent. Johnson brilliantly placated Clin- ton's enormous Dixie Mafia arrogance and ego, and the CIA was able to scale down the Arkansas operation without burning bridges with their numero uno Governor. As the right-hand man of the Mena oper- ations manager, Terry was at the meet- ing. Clinton shortly afterwards realized Terry had met too many people and learned too much about the guns, drugs, and money-laundering in this made-to- order CIA banana republic of Arkansas. The CIA's SAT "cutout" accepted Terry's proposal that he head up a front com- pany in Mexico, where the guns-drugs smuggling operation was being moved. Clinton personally made it clear he wanted Terry to take the offer. The front company was supposed to be a cover for manufacturing and smuggling guns only. But Terry discovered his employees (CIA operatives) were secretly using his business to smuggle drugs on the return leg from south and Central American. He attempted to extricate himself and there resulted a break with the CIA and FBI. He found the FBI had fabricated a complete criminal file on him and his wife as drug smugglers, and aircraft thieves, as insurance against Terry`s pos- sible disloyalty. Realizing elements in the government had turned against him, he went in to hiding-like Robert Redford in Days of the Condor. Eventually he sur- rendered to the Feds and was brought to trial. The prosecutor and possibly the judge was fully aware that he was inno- cent but that he was being persecuted for being a political persona non grata. (So far as I am aware and according to state- ments in Reed's book and video, no one was ever prosecuted for this criminal miscarriage of the judicial system.) He and his wife were acquitted, only to be smeared by Time magazine, under Strobe Talbott (see above). He is currently suing Time. The video reminds us that only those with money get judicial justice in our system. John Cummings, co-author of Terry's book, also co-authored the 1989 Pent- house article, Snowbound."

There is a lot of video footage in this tape that I had not seen before, and I have been following this issue for two years, have read Terry Reed's book, and been following this newsgroup since the day it began.

The following article was posted to the CS list in Nov. 1995: "Reed Irvine admits his friendship with Bill Casey... "Accuracy in Media, the so-called watch- dog organization that claims to demand accuracy in media appears to be just another arm of the CIA. How do we come to this conclusion? "Reed Irvine, one of the heads of Accu- racy in Media wrote an article in May of 1994 attacking Terry Reed and John Cummings book, Compromised: Clinton, Bush And The CIA. In his article, there were 17 errors in 13 paragraphs, which Terry Reed pointed out in a letter to Irv- ine. The article suggested that people shouldn't even read the book--which, it turns out, is exactly what Irvine chose to do. He never read the book he so savagely attacked. "On Thursday, Oct. 26th, 1995, Irvine was invited to be a guest speaker for the Zenith Boosters at the University Club in J\Kansas City, MO. He was there to dis- cuss the forged Foster note. Terry Reed was on a flight to Central America on that day and his wife, Janis Reed decided to go to the event and confront Irvine about his article and the fact that after receiving Terry's letter pointing out the inaccuracies in his article, no correction or retraction was ever made. It was dur- ing this confrontation that Irvine publicly admitted that he had never read the book. In addition, he had based his entire attack on the book on the fact that "his good friend, Bill Casey (head of the CIA during the Mena tomfooleries) would never have been in a World War II bunker with Bill Clinton." Terry agrees. The "Bunker Meeting" attendees did NOT include Casey, nor was Clinton invited. (Clinton showed up anyway) Had Irvine bothered to read the book, that would have never come into ques- tion at all, as the book listed all who attended the meeting. The interesting fact here is that Irvine obviously never read the book and was attempting to pro- tect Casey and thereby, the CIA. This leads us to ask, what else has Accu- racy in Media done as a disinformation agency for the CIA. Is Accuracy in Media, (AIM) just another alphabet agency-another arm of a government that has for over 10 years assisted in an attempt to keep a tight lid on the govern- ments black operations in the Mena and Iran-Contra Scandals? "The big question is: Why is Accuracy in Media willing to attack Bill Clinton, but when confronted with facts leading to the Bush administration or Reed Irvine's good friend Bill Casey's CIA, the approach is totally different? What is Accuracy in Media's agenda? How can they claim to be interested in accuracy when Irvine attacks a book he hasn't even read? Are they merely a puppet organization, and who or what is pulling their strings? Irvine's admission is a very frightening one. "Accuracy in Media now appears to only be concerned with accuracy when it is in the best interests of Accuracy in Media's friends. "Have the `Powers that Be' decided that Bill Clinton is expendable? Are they now going to dump all the sins of the govern- ment in his lap and hang him out to dry? Is all the attention to Vince Foster a giant red herring to draw our attention away from Mena, Whitewater, Reed vs. Young and the other real issues threatening our country? "The bottom line is Reed Irvine's admis- sion that in trying to protect his good friend, Bill casey, he savagely attacked the book, Compromised: Clinton, Bush And The CIA. And his attack was based solely on his interesting relationship with Bill Casey. Period. End of story. "Or is it just the beginning?"

Monika and William Stevenson: Kiss the Boys Good-bye. A poster to CS writes: The book makes this clear: relations between Bush and Perot had gone downhill ever since the Vice President had asked Ross Perot how his POW/ MIA investigations were going. "Well, George, I go in looking for pris- oners," said Perot, "but I spend all my time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is involved in illegal arms deals...I can't get at the prisoners because of the corruption among our own covert people." This ended Perot's official access to the highly classified files as a one-man presidential investigator.

Unlike the Jesuits, who never did believe in the end justify- ing the means, the CIA not only believes it but also that it is immune to the law of karma by associating with depraved "assets" and dabbling in the internal affairs of foreign governments often at cross-purposes with the US State Depart- ment. [Thanks to "Batman of Bluegrass Coun- try" who supplied the Bluegrass Files.] The War on Drugs and drug prohibition functions to distract and confuse the middle classes and to enslave the lower classes; it provides an excuse for the gov- ernment armed agencies (of which there are said to be about 400) to exercise ille- gal search and seizure without a trial (in flagrant violation of the 4th Amendment) and thus access another revenue stream besides the already initiative-penalizing and confiscatory taxation; it provides a source of independent "off-the-shelf, stand-alone" funding for CIA/Shadow government black projects; most of all, it serves as a lever with which to edge the Second Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights into irrelevancy. Association of the Bar of the City of New York: A Wiser Course: Ending Drug Prohi- bition" (the "Report") The June 1994 issue of "The Record," the official publication of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, included a recently released report by the Association's Special Com- mittee on Drugs and the Law. The report is entitled "A Wiser Course: Ending Drug Prohibition" (the "Report"). In typewrit- ten form, the Report is 83 pages long and has 203 footnotes of sources and authori- ties. On June 15, 1994, the New York Law Journal (the daily newspaper for lawyers in New York) printed on page one a news article about the Report. Unfortunately, the rest of the "media" (e.g., the New York Times, The Daily News, Newsday, ABC, CBS, NBC, C-SPAN, TBS) have failed, at least so far, to take any notice of this Report. To get the word out about this Report, the Association has given permission for the Report to be distributed on the Internet. A full-length copy of the Report (about 96,388 bytes, but without the 203 foot- notes) is posted on the Net. A hardcopy of "The Record" issue con- taining the footnoted version of the Report can be purchased from: The Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 42 West 44th Street, New York, New York 10036.

"The Nicaraguan con- tras were partially funded by cocaine operations, smuggled to and from the US on customs-free supply flights.

Global-governmentalism Bibliography and Mediagraphy In the front of Terry Reed's book, Compro- mised, he reprints a letter from Harry Tru- man, who states that he never intended for the CIA to be anything other than an intelligence-gathering agency at the ser- vice of the President. Was Truman being disingenuous or naive? How did the CIA become the State Department's nemesis and the Government's "Department of Dirty Trick? Lest anyone wonder if world-govern- mentalism is being dragged into this dis- cussion by the heels, simply remind yourself that the USA is the most power- ful government on the Planet. Therefore, if the CIA is "inside" the US government, why would it not also be "inside" any movement toward world-government? Why would they draw the line at the bor- ders of the USA. Besides, it is obvious they don't. Demonstrations against the USA often have the demonstrators chanting: "CIA go home," instead of "Yankee go home." Sometimes "foreign- ers" are not as naive as most US citizens. Just as the Fascist Shadow Government dupes the leftist movements in the USA, so too, it dupes the rosy-eyed utopian world socialists and global governmen- talists into thinking they are building a borderless, nationless paradise on earth. It is not that the leftist movements are thoroughly infiltrated with rightist abso- lutists. It is rather the blindness and pre- dictability of the left that allow the Fascist elite to manipulate it and wait for it like a small boy waiting for his approaching mechanical toy tank. Rich and powerful politicians and Fascists (such as the Kennedies, the Rockefellers and the Clintons) can afford to preach and foster socialism (but not practice it) because socialism provides an ideologi- cal distraction for the masses, a soothing hypocrisy for the middle classes, and the illusion of power for elite social planners of the middle bureaucracies and the "non-governmental" civil organizations. The liberals' constant mouthing of social- ist ideology provides a vast sink for ener- gies, for the hearer as well as the speaker, that might otherwise be directed toward uncovering the real sources and holders of power whose wealth, secret networks and tacit understandings allow them to float on the turmoil of conventional wis- dom and social awareness like a mirage upon the desert. A prime example of this phenomenon is the aim of individual disarmament and small arms prohibition, commonly called "gun control." The leftist elite social planning hoplophobes believe they are pursuing the dream of a society without those dangerous, dirty, ugly guns. The Fascists and their criminal henchmen only have to urge them on with a wink and a nod because they themselves are not afraid of guns nor of using them. When all society is disarmed, only the armies, the police, and the criminal ele- ment (which is easily manipulated to serve wealth and power) will have the weapons might and last resort that it always comes down to in controlling the state. The disarmed will not only be without the small arms that are final say of the citizens guaranteed by the Second Amendment, but they will without the will, the character, and the fearlessness to use them even if these weapons were not already criminalized. Some of the left may even wake up to find, to their dis- may, that their utopia was only an illu- sion on the horizon and they already are and have been slaves. Bamford, James: The Puzzle Palace, Inside NSA, 1983, Penguin paperback, 653 pp. "The book the NSA tried to suppress..." NSA (National Security Administration) is a Fed agency you hardly every hear about, but they are capable of listening to all your electronic communications. "NSA is largest, most secretive, and potentially most intrusive American intelligence agency. It dwarfs the CIA in budget, manpower, and influence. In the three decades it has existed, the NSA has demonstrated a shocking disregard for the law." It is questionable whether NSA or CIA has more money. The CIA has over a billion dollars in "endowments" gained by billing the Government in advance. It also has numerous front com- panies and untold drug earnings. It also outstanding accountants and executives and a "loyalty system" that would be the envy of any private enterprise, or any "anthill society" such as China or Japan.

How the IRS, the FBI, the BATF, the DEA, the FDA, the FCC, and hundreds of other "Federal Acronym Agencies," with police powers-that is, they can shoot you and take your property, money, and good name-are grossly violating the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th Amendments of the US Constitution and devouring US citizens in the process.
