RECAP OF AND UPDATE ON THE NORMAN THESIS
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Thanks to an east coast source whom I will call "Mr. Mercedes", I
|
|
have received an audio tape of Jim Norman's recent appearance on
|
|
New York radio station WBAI, marked on the cassette as having
|
|
been January 10, 1996.
|
|
|
|
[...continued from CN 7.04...]
|
|
|
|
Here are further excerpts from the program:
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
But aren't G.E. and Westinghouse and all the networks part of it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
Well... Of course the government contracts out vast amounts of
|
|
work to other countries. But the NSA, for sure, they do a lot of
|
|
their work through "cut-outs" -- front companies. In fact, that's
|
|
what this Systematics was -- which is now called ALLTEL
|
|
Information Systems. (The CEO [Chief Executive Officer] of which
|
|
just retired, mysteriously, at age 56, last week, and announced
|
|
plans to go spend more time with his family.) That thing is about
|
|
to blow up, because I think Systematics, in addition to helping
|
|
the NSA plant "bugged" software in foreign banks, Systematics
|
|
also functioned, I'm told (and this is corroborated by various
|
|
*good* intelligence sources), for many years they functioned as
|
|
sort of a "cyber bank" for covert funds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
What part did the major corporations play?
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
Well... Let's put it this way: one of Inslaw's partners was AT&T.
|
|
IBM was involved in this too. Apparently IBM does *lots* of
|
|
business with the government and there's... I'm told, one of the
|
|
applications of this PROMIS software is it was customized to
|
|
track submarine sounds -- maritime sounds -- catalog the stuff,
|
|
develop files on foreign ships... IBM was a prime contractor on
|
|
that system.
|
|
|
|
[...contention for who will speak...]
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
Ed Meese and Nichols had actually taken away from the owner, and
|
|
that's who this [unclear] sueing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
Well, Inslaw is sueing the Justice Department for damages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
'Cuz the owner was a competitor with Nichols, who was a friend of
|
|
Ed Meese. [CN -- Meese was Attorney General under President
|
|
Reagan.] When they got to power, that was the deal: to try to get
|
|
it away from him. Nichols, who worked for Wackenhut...
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
Robert Booth Nichols, I think you're talkin' about, right?
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
And he was a friend of Ed Meese. And he was competing to put this
|
|
system in for tracking criminals in Los Angeles. I believe the
|
|
guy's name was "Campbell" or something like that, the one with
|
|
the Inslaw...
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
Bill Hamilton and his wife own Inslaw...
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
Hamilton! *That's* it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
They... What happened was, the government was desperate to get
|
|
hold of that source code so they could customize it and *re-sell*
|
|
it, with the profits going into private pockets. Like cronies of
|
|
Ed Meese. Particularly, there's a guy named Earl Brian who has
|
|
this company called Hadron... Infotechnology. He owned UPI
|
|
[United Press International] for awhile... He's actually under
|
|
indictment in L.A. right now. He was [unclear] SEC [Securities
|
|
and Exchange Commission] charges for financial manipulation.
|
|
|
|
This stuff got customized and sold all over the place. *Robert*
|
|
*Maxwell* was re-selling it, on behalf of the Israelis. Again:
|
|
the object was to get this software planted into foreign
|
|
intelligence agencies and particularly into foreign banks. It was
|
|
basically a version of this software that went into Guatemala.
|
|
Maxwell's front company sold this software to Guatemala, and
|
|
basically it was used to help assassinate 30,000 civilians down
|
|
there: catalogue 'em and find out who is an "enemy of the state"
|
|
and...
|
|
|
|
|
|
CALLER #5:
|
|
We of the WBAI audience are quite familiar with this. But I'm
|
|
much more interested in the players with the NSA who I think are
|
|
really running the country.
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
I think you're right. I *wish* I knew who the bad guys were.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DR. MICHIO KAKU:
|
|
Let me also say, for those of you who tuned in: the NSA [National
|
|
Security Agency] is a very large organization whose budget is
|
|
reputed to be something on the order of 10 times the size of the
|
|
CIA budget. And they're, historically, involved with surveilling
|
|
the Soviet Union. The CIA was mainly interested in spies on the
|
|
ground and analyzing information. However it takes an enormous
|
|
body simply to monitor what was happening in the Soviet Union at
|
|
the height of the Cold War, and that's where the NSA was set up.
|
|
It's basically a surveillance organization.
|
|
|
|
However, many people claim that it has since taken a life of its
|
|
own and it is also part of some kind of secret government.
|
|
|
|
|
|
JAMES NORMAN:
|
|
The CIA reports directly to the President. It's a civilian
|
|
entity. The NSA reports to the Director of Central Intelligence
|
|
*through* *the* *Pentagon*. It's essentially a military function.
|
|
And, in fact, it was made up of various elements of the Army, Air
|
|
Force and Navy; their intelligence, signal gathering entities
|
|
ultimately became NSA-type entities.
|
|
|
|
NSA is also responsible for all of the government's activity in
|
|
terms of encryption. And they're the guys who are behind all the
|
|
Clipper chip and all that other kind of stuff.
|
|
|
|
There's a healthy debate goin' on about this stuff. Everybody
|
|
needs to talk about it.
