Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 96
|
||
======================================
|
||
("Quid coniuratio est?")
|
||
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
On April 27, 1994, on Tom Donahue's now defunct shortwave radio
|
||
program, "America's Town Forum", Donahue's guests were Terry Reed
|
||
and John Cummings. Reed and Cummings are the authors of the
|
||
bestseller, *Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA*.
|
||
|
||
Because Donahue offers audio cassette tapes of his shows for
|
||
those who wish to purchase them, I sent a check to Mr. Donahue
|
||
for a tape of that night's show. Unfortunately (although Mr.
|
||
Donahue *did* finally send the tape of another show, featuring
|
||
Larry Nichols), the tape did not arrive after I had waited a
|
||
reasonable time. So I again wrote to Mr. Donahue et al.,
|
||
including a photocopy of the cancelled check I had sent them and
|
||
demanding my tape.
|
||
|
||
I waited. Still no reply. Eventually I just gave up on ever
|
||
getting the tape. I was not too ticked off at Mr. Donahue because
|
||
I knew he was going through other troubles at the time. I figured
|
||
he was just not well organized.
|
||
|
||
Today, finally, after more than 4 months, after I had long since
|
||
given up on getting the Reed/Cummings tape, today, finally, it
|
||
arrived. I have just made a backup of the tape and am now
|
||
prepared to transcribe it.
|
||
|
||
Before I start, here is some info that was included with the
|
||
tape:
|
||
|
||
Address to write to Tom Donahue: As of July 21, 1994

||

|
||
|
||
At this time Tom does have access to a telephone, however he
|
||
can only call "collect". He can't make local calls or 800
|
||
calls, just collect calls. If you would like to give your
|
||
permission for Tom to call you collect, do so by writing to
|
||
Tom at the above address.

TOM DONAHUE:
|
||
Good day. Welcome, America. Tom Donahue program. Thanks so much
|
||
for joining us.
|
||
|
||
Well many "viewer rats" are celebrating "Tricky Dick Day". Um, I
|
||
always have, and will, have respect for the President and the
|
||
*presidency* -- the actual office. The office holder at that time
|
||
and, I guess, the "statesman at large" -- I feel he caused a lot
|
||
of great damage to this country: regional government, for one;
|
||
selling out our POWs; took him 5 years to get us out of [the]
|
||
Vietnam war, when he [had] promised in his first term we'd be
|
||
out. He was a Rockefeller stooge and a Kissinger associate for
|
||
many years, until even *they* turned on him. {1}.
|
||
|
||
But so much for Nixon... Tricky Dick Nixon Day. We have two very
|
||
special guests. And the book is absolutely a blockbuster. It's
|
||
everything it's cooked up to be. The book is, *Compromised:
|
||
Clinton, Bush and the CIA*. How the presidency was co-opted by
|
||
the CIA. Terry Reed and John Cummings. Indeed, it's my privilege
|
||
and pleasure to have you on "America's Town Forum".
|
||
|
||
TERRY REED:
|
||
Thank you very much, Tom. This is Terry speaking. [CN Note: The
|
||
interview was conducted via a 3-way phone hookup.]
|
||
|
||
JOHN CUMMINGS:
|
||
Hi, this is John...
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
O.K. Hi, John.
|
||
|
||
CUMMINGS:
|
||
Hi! And it's a pleasure to be here.
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
We're gonna start off with Terry [Reed] first.
|
||
|
||
Terry, why... I guess, whoever selected the title, it's a great
|
||
title. Explain to our listeners what you mean by "compromised"
|
||
when it comes to Clinton, Bush *and* the CIA.
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
Well not only is that a word that's in the media a lot now, but,
|
||
having been in Air Force intelligence, that's a word used
|
||
considerably in, you know, intelligence training: talking about
|
||
compromising classified material. But I felt it was a very
|
||
appropriate title in that both George Bush and Bill Clinton
|
||
compromised themselves, um made themselves open for attack, by
|
||
being mutually involved in a clandestine operation which was CIA-
|
||
backed and run out of the state of Arkansas.
|
||
|
||
So that's basically the core, the core premise behind the title.
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
Some would be astonished that you would refer to *Clinton* being
|
||
connected in any way, shape, or form with intelligence agencies.
|
||
Many see Clinton as a coward and someone that shirked his duty
|
||
{2} and was not involved with *any* military or intelligence
|
||
apparatuses in this country -- except, maybe outside the country,
|
||
such as the KGB.
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
Well actually, I think if people will study it closely, there's a
|
||
rumor circulating that Bill [Clinton] was actually working for
|
||
the CIA station chief out of London, a man by the name of Kurt
|
||
Meyer(sp?), and during his trips to the USSR (which, you know,
|
||
became a matter of public debate during the '92 campaign on what
|
||
he was doing there). But I don't find it shocking at all to find
|
||
politicians involved with intelligence operations, since that's
|
||
typically how the CIA is trained to penetrate and subvert foreign
|
||
governments, is, you compromise politicians and get them on your
|
||
side, normally through blackmail.
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
Um-hmm [understands].
|
||
|
||
Let me ask you about your background. Why don't you fill our
|
||
listeners in, give us kind of a biographical sketch?
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
O.K. I was a true "baby boomer", born in 1948, raised in
|
||
southwest Missouri, 21 miles from Harry Truman's birthplace and
|
||
hometown, Lamar, Missouri. I'm from Carthage, Missouri. I'm the
|
||
oldest of 6 children, raised to be patriotic and serve my
|
||
country. I did so. I was in Air Force intelligence for 8 years. I
|
||
was in Thailand, in a top-secret outfit called, "Task Force
|
||
Alpha", that oversaw the secret war in Laos; the "deniable war"
|
||
that Richard Nixon was running -- very apropos day to be
|
||
discussing...
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
Yeah. Another prize, another accolade, that should be passed
|
||
along to Nixon for that, huh?
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
Yeah. Yeah, I feel, just as you stated, that he really let the
|
||
veterans down as well as the country. He tried to be a statesman
|
||
and a commander-in-chief simultaneously. And I don't think you
|
||
can do that.
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
Well I think he said it best on "60 Minutes", this was a replay
|
||
of his interview with Mike Wallace, in 1968, where he stated
|
||
emphatically that he'd rather be off writing books and lecturing
|
||
and maybe even being a student again at Oxford University [sic]
|
||
-- though he didn't go there. Clinton did. But he [Nixon] said he
|
||
got "caught by the political virus", and he said, "When it
|
||
catches you, there's no way..."
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
"...there's no antidote", I believe is what he said.
|
||
|
||
DONAHUE:
|
||
...no. Wait a minute. Yeah....
|
||
|
||
REED:
|
||
"There's no drug." Yeah, I saw that interview.
|
||
|
||
[...to be continued...]
|
||
|
||
---------------------------<< Notes >>---------------------------
|
||
{1} Regarding Nixon: It's hard to understand *why* Clinton
|
||
ordered flags flown at half mast for *30 days* in honor of Nixon.
|
||
To my knowledge, this was unprecedented. I don't think even JFK
|
||
got the flag flown at half mast for 30 days. Talk about
|
||
collective insanity: 30 days for fu**ing Nixon!!
|
||
|
||
{2} "...Clinton as a coward and someone that shirked his duty..."
|
||
There were *many* who sought to avoid and/or avoided military
|
||
service during the Vietnam era. They keep repeating this "Clinton
|
||
the coward" stuff, and it's ridiculous.
|
||
But *why*? Why are they drumming this into our heads, this
|
||
"Clinton the coward that shirked his duty" baloney? Hypothesis:
|
||
Are they conditioning us to swallow some future law that we *not*
|
||
"shirk our duty"? Are they conditioning us to accept a re-
|
||
instatement of the draft? Are they conditioning us to "not be
|
||
'cowards' like Clinton"? Are they conditioning us to be cannon
|
||
fodder for another one of their wars?
|
||
Just conjecture. But then again, you tell me: Why all this
|
||
"Clinton the coward who shirked his duty" repeated again and
|
||
again?
