| "Whatever system we are living under, it is not a democracy, and we are not protected by the Rule of Law", said Catherine Austin Fitts, the former US Assistant Secretary of State for Housing & Urban Development. The US Government has known about drug trafficking among its assets, protected those assets helpful to whichever cause the US Government was backing at the time, and will never legalize any of the currently illicit substances as there is too much money being made from the War Against Some Drugs. These were the overall messages at the CIA-Drugs Symposium in Eugene Oregon (June 10th, 2000). "I'm just really tired of the situation we've got here, and I really don't want my children to have to deal with it," said organizer Kris Millegan in his opening remarks. With a showing of the film Secret Heartbeat of America, by Daniel Hopsicker, detailing America's secret history during the later half of the 20th century setting the tone right away. This was not an event for those who didn't want to know the truth, or who believe what they don't know won't hurt them! Speakers included Millegan, Hopsicker, Mike Ruppert (former LAPD narc and publisher of the newsletter From the Wilderness), Dedon Kamathi (former Black Panther, and still-outspoken activist), Catherine Austin Fitts (former Assistant Secretary of State for Housing & Urban Development under President Bush from 1989 to 1990), Cele Castillo, 12 veteran of the DEA, Rodney Stich (author and former FAA flight accident investigator), and Peter Dale Scott (former Canadian diplomat, Professor at University of California, Berkeley, and prolific author). "This report is full of lies, flat out lies, in terms of what they've already admitted," remarked Scott, about the report released by CIA-man Rep. Porter Goss (R-FL). The US Select Committee on Intelligence (May 11, 2000) found "no evidence" of any involvement of any CIA employee or assets in the narcotics trade, at any time. In a report completed the week before the symposium, Scott writes that the committee has for some time, instead of exerting some form of oversight of the Intelligence Community, "had been operated as a rubber stamp, deflecting public concern rather than representing it. It is however possible that never before has such a dishonest and deceptive document, on such an important subject, been approved without dissent by the full membership of the committee . . . The CIA practice of recruiting drug-financed armies is an ongoing matter." Cele Castillo, who was the DEA's sole American field agent in Guatemala and El Salvador from 1985 to 1990, told the room about his misadventures trying to investigate the trafficking in and out of those Central American countries during Oliver North's Contra supply operations. "I was there, I saw it. I kept journals. I took pictures of the good, the bad and the ugly," claimed Castillo. "I met then Vice-President Bush at a party in the US Embassy in El Salvador once, and told him there was something funny about the Contras, after Bush asked me what I did. He just smiled and walked away." Castillo says he saw Bush meet later that day with Ollie North and others in the same US Embassy building. "It is going to get worse before it gets better," revealed Castillo about prohibition and the false War Against Some Drugs, "but we know who did this to us." As Kamathi, co-founder of Crack the CIA Coalition, and a record producer with Motown Records who focuses on Conscious Rap, as opposed to the Gangsterism-promoting Rap, said in his impassioned presentation, "When you think Crack, don't think Black, think CIA!" |

Read important exposes of US government involvement in a myriad number of ways in the international drug trade and the implications for the US populace. Subscribe to Ruppert's newsletter From the Wilderness for all the latest news. Order Cele Castillo's book Powderburns (one hell of a graphic description about his experiences in the service of the Dark Side, until he became awake). Look out for Rupert's new section on suppressed writers. This is one of the best Web sites available: well worth repeated visits!
CIA-Drugs Symposium: Northwest
Here are details of all the CIA-Drugs Symposium (June 10, 2000) speakers, and the graphic advertisements. Millegan deserves much credit, and thanks, for putting this together, for trying to "bust the media bubble" as he puts it. Hopefully, the symposium will force a big, bright light onto the subject of official US involvement in the international drug trade, and all related areas of criminal endeavors.
Daniel Hopsicker
Order the explosive film In Search of the American Drug Lords, as well as the two-hour documentary Secret Heartbeat of America. Both films should be shown in every American Junior High and High School by DARE officers (who should then have to face the penetrating questions of outraged American kids). These seriously sadistic men and women clog their minds with anti-drug propaganda, priming them to always think about and use drugs, or to turn in their friends and parents. Our spies ensure we have tons of drugs to choose from!
Peter Dale Scott
Read many of Scott's writings on political criminality, cover-up, and crime here, as well as some of his recent poetry, much of it taken from the very US Government reports he has been studying for so long. This man wrote of US Government and military involvement in the drug trade as far back as at least 1970, in his rare book, The War Conspiracy, and why the US was caught up in the Vietnam War in the first place. It is a wonder that Scott is still alive!
Catherine Austin Fitts: Solari
The Solari Action Network is collection of individuals and organizations we communicate and work with who are interested in profit-making opportunities available from purging the influence of organized crime from our American and international financial systems, this site informs the visitor in the Action Network section. This is Fitts' newest effort to get a workable solution for the general population, and try to help them make money for themselves - without giving it all away to outside interlopers and organized criminals within US government agencies!
Unfriendly Skies
Order Rodney Stich's first book through this informative Web site. You won't be as relaxed about flying as you may have once been after reading this harrowing book, detailing the corruption and lackadaisical safety practices that go on behind the scenes in the airline industry. Do not read just before a flight!
Defrauding America
This is Rodney Stich's second book, in which he discusses even more corruption among the US Government. From drug trafficking to ripping off the American public (through banks, legislation, and corrupt judges), Stich details the mean, nasty, ugly methods of exercising absolute power over US subjects . . . oops, I mean, citizenry.
Drugging America: A Trojan Horse
This is Rodney Stich's third and latest extravaganza of a book, exposing even more corruption and duplicity on the part of US officialdom. For a wide variety of insider accounts of officially sanctioned crime and cover-up, you could not do much better than to start with any of Stich's huge books chock full of such information!
The Boodle Boys: Kris Millegan
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About the Skull and Bones, But Were Afraid to Ask, is the title of an essay featured at this intriguing Web site. With a father in the OSS and early CIA, Millegan has spent a lifetime trying to figure out just what it was exactly his father had gotten involved in during serving his country, and with whom. What Millegan has been finding out about the government service his father walked away from in disgust has not been a pretty sight, hence his efforts to bring together the diversity of CIA-Drugs Symposium (June 10th, 2000) speakers.
CIA Admits Tolerating Contra-Cocaine Trafficking in 1980s
This Online Journal report (June 8, 2000), by Robert Parry, outlines the CIA's admissions in secret congressional testimony that indeed, it had known about, and tolerated drug trafficking on the part of Contra supporters and the Contras themselves, contrary to previous reportage (May 11, 2000). To see my own government release a report I know to be full of falsehoods and misrepresentations, to put lying as nicely as possible, is infuriating, disturbing, upsetting and extremely nauseating.
The Pornography of Power
This editorial by Tom J. Wright, (March 15-31, 1997) has a real turn of phrase that I can completely empathize with. Take the following for instance: "You can think of the CIA as the Charles Manson of our government: they're both loony, violent, unpredictable, and convinced that they are the next coming of Jesus Christ, and thus holy . . . Picture Charles Manson with an army of secret agents all over the world to carry out his psychotic plans. Picture this Charles Manson with billions and billions and billions of taxpayer subsidized dollars in his personal checking account, to finance his unspeakable acts . . . That is the Charles Manson we are dealing with my friends and the bad news is that he's not in jail. If you've been paying any attention at all throughout this whole sordid situation that I've just described, or already suspected its truth from your own observations, a creeping sort of Holy-Shit-Mother-of-God-What-the-Hell-Can-We-Do feeling is coming over you right about now." I couldn't have said it better myself, but unfortunately this was written over three years ago, and nothing has gotten any better. We are no closer to shutting the CIA down. We don't even know how much of our money the CIA is spending this financial year!
In Plain Sight: The CIA Keeps Getting Away with It
David Corn quotes in this article (June 2, 2000) the assertion in the US House Select Committee on Intelligence report that, "as described in Volume II of the CIA IG report, under various circumstances, the CIA made use of or maintained relationships with a number of individuals associated with the Contras or the Contra-supply effort about whom the CIA had knowledge of information or allegations indicating the individuals had been involved in drug trafficking." Com still seems to be trying to put these disturbing developments into as least a threatening light as possible, trying to make the situation less serious than it really is. The CIA wilfully allowed tons of drugs into the US for years, then tried to keep covert operations secret by engaging in cover-up, lies, and murder. Consider the fate of Barry Seal (the now deceased cocaine trafficker), whose assassins claimed they were under Oliver North's direction. Seal was killed only weeks after phoning up Vice-President Bush's office to threaten telling the world about the Contra supply and government-sanctioned drug trafficking operations!
