THE OKLAHOMA BOMBING, THE MEDIA, AND THE SPIES
|
||
|
|
==============================================

|
|
By Sherman H. Skolnick
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Does the press really tell us what spying is all about?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some years ago a brave journalist compiled and circulated data on
|
||
|
|
hundreds of reporters showing many of them were so-called assets,
|
||
|
|
or used by, various espionage agencies, such as CIA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Various spy terms need to be defined. Such as, *assets*, meaning
|
||
|
|
not directly an employee but used to spy and distribute false
|
||
|
|
information and pro-CIA propaganda. *Counter-intelligence* is to
|
||
|
|
infiltrate, such as an opposing operation, or dissident movement.
|
||
|
|
The FBI had the COINTEL Program, designed to discredit and
|
||
|
|
destroy civil rights and peace movement leaders, by falsely
|
||
|
|
blaming them for crimes, such as fire bombing ROTC Centers during
|
||
|
|
the anti-Viet Nam War period. *Agent Provocateur* is a French
|
||
|
|
term, meaning to lead well-intentioned persons -- suckers -- into
|
||
|
|
committing some wrong so they could be busted by the authorities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The most infamous FBI program was to stop the rise of a so-called
|
||
|
|
"Black Messiah". So the FBI arranged to assassinate Dr. King and
|
||
|
|
falsely blame it on a lone assassin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In 1995, a series of government counter-intelligence operations
|
||
|
|
sprung up, just about the time of the bombing of the federal
|
||
|
|
building in Oklahoma City. Some of the operations were actually
|
||
|
|
in formation just prior thereto, but immediately escalated after
|
||
|
|
April 19 of that year. It tends to prove the bombing was by the
|
||
|
|
Central Government to promote repression.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suddenly, various periodicals showed up, as well as postings on
|
||
|
|
the Internet. Some publications started with very small
|
||
|
|
circulations, yet the tell-tale sign was they seemed to have
|
||
|
|
great globs of money behind them. Some with 5,000 monthly
|
||
|
|
circulation had enough money and equipment for a long-going
|
||
|
|
100,000 circulation magazine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Funny thing, one or more of these operations had key personnel
|
||
|
|
who were apparently still with government counter-intelligence.
|
||
|
|
So, they would show up -- as so-called "reporters" -- to pick the
|
||
|
|
brains of persons in the controversial militias or the tax
|
||
|
|
protesters. Were the interviews just for background, for some
|
||
|
|
secret government dossier, or for a news article?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Catchy ads were run implying you could stop paying your income
|
||
|
|
tax and urging you to write or call an 800 number for literature.
|
||
|
|
Savvy folks suspect some of this was to set up an operation known
|
||
|
|
as a *"shooting gallery"* -- where the dissidents are all
|
||
|
|
identified and photographed, and put on the FBI Security Index,
|
||
|
|
to be rounded up and herded into detention camps in case of a so-
|
||
|
|
called "national emergency".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is supposedly justified because the President said, after
|
||
|
|
the Oklahoma bombing, that certain political activists were out
|
||
|
|
to overthrow the federal government.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
From nowhere, suddenly so-called commentators, using the latest
|
||
|
|
technology, would post stories on Internet. Known as "mushrooms",
|
||
|
|
they would work the propaganda-disinformation game called "60-40"
|
||
|
|
-- namely, 60 percent true, to gain credibility, and 40 percent
|
||
|
|
false to mislead poorly informed folks. These "commentators" were
|
||
|
|
not known as being long-involved with any known, public-interest
|
||
|
|
research and investigation group. These characters were just
|
||
|
|
*"flippers"* -- that is, flipping stories on behalf of secret
|
||
|
|
patrons from one side of the street to the other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To understand all this, you really need to have been involved, as
|
||
|
|
I and my associates have been for more than three decades, in
|
||
|
|
identifying government spies and fingering provocateurs. (In
|
||
|
|
1972, we came out with a fact sheet identifying the Foundations,
|
||
|
|
acting as conduits for CIA funds, promoting the provocateurs at
|
||
|
|
the so-called "riots" at the 1968 Democratic Convention in
|
||
|
|
Chicago, which discredited the Democratic presidential candidate
|
||
|
|
and helped install Nixon as president. The CIA-Naval Intelligence
|
||
|
|
riot makers included the "Chicago Seven", Rennie Davis, Abbie
|
||
|
|
Hoffman, Tom Hayden, Jerry Rubin, et al. For college student
|
||
|
|
governments and at a radio broadcast school I taught an extensive
|
||
|
|
course on Foundation Tax Returns [which are a public record]
|
||
|
|
showing links to CIA funds.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You also need to know and understand that in 1988 the CIA
|
||
|
|
switched their secret subsidy in the mass media. Previously, they
|
||
|
|
subsidized CBS News to have well-staffed, expensive offices all
|
||
|
|
over the globe, compiling intelligence, even if few actual
|
||
|
|
stories went on the air from such locations. After 1988, ABC News
|
||
|
|
got the CIA subsidy and CBS shut down many of their overseas
|
||
|
|
offices. ABC's "Nightline" Program with Ted Koppel (with
|
||
|
|
espionage background) puts on so-called "experts", without
|
||
|
|
telling you the expert is actually with a CIA or NSA sponsored
|
||
|
|
Think Tank or so-called "Foundation".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What will make this Gestapo-like operation further escalate? A
|
||
|
|
bad recession. Lots of anxiety over growing unemployment. A stock
|
||
|
|
market crash. A fake war scare. Hey, if a Cuban intelligence
|
||
|
|
plane dropped leaflets on Washington, urging the overthrow of our
|
||
|
|
central government, wouldn't we shoot down their so-called
|
||
|
|
"private" airplane?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Chicago, some of the mass media/espionage operatives: Bill
|
||
|
|
Kurtis of WBBM-TV, Channel 2, reportedly does projects for CIA.
|
||
|
|
His link has been through his father, Brigadier General in the
|
||
|
|
Marines, liaison to CIA. WMAQ-TV, Channel 5 in Chicago, has a
|
||
|
|
secret, offsite, unmarked office for processing FBI covert video
|
||
|
|
of dissidents and so-called "terrorists". Do you suppose Channel
|
||
|
|
5's anchor face Carol Marin is unaware of all this? (Recently, a
|
||
|
|
radio commentator said she has more federal connections than any
|
||
|
|
Chicago reporter.)

|
||
|
|
1969. The jailing for bribery of 7th Circuit Federal Appeals

||
|
|

|
||
|
|
jail in U.S. history. Downfall of Vice President Spiro Agnew,
|
||
|
|
bribery charges, 1973. 1983-1993, "Operation Greylord", touched
|
||
|
|
off by the group; 20 local judges and 40 lawyers sent to jail for
|
||
|
|
bribery.
