BFEE Watchers: Some threads you should NOT miss

[BurtWorm]

This one on Fortunate Son, in which I posted James Hatfield's phone log showing that he vetted the the Bush cocaine allegation that supposedly got his book killed with Karl Rove and Karen Hughes, among others:

And these two on Edwin P. Wilson, the guy who took the fall for the Reagan regime's Iran-Contra gang. He was exonerated in a Houston courtroom earlier this week after he'd spent 20 years in jail for selling C-4 explosives to Libya when the judge ruled that the government had used false afidavits to make it look as though Wilson was "rogue." The implication is that the government knew Wilson was working for the CIA when he sold the C-4 to Libya, although it's still not clear if the sale was govt. sanctioned. (But then why would the govt. have gone through the trouble of submitting false documents--aka lying, or committing perjury--to make it look as though Wilson had no active ties at all to the CIA?)

8. Ed Wilson's Revenge

The Biggest CIA Scandal in History Has Its Feet in the Starting Blocks in a Houston Court House

by Michael C. Ruppert

EXCERPT...

 Ed Wilson stood accused of shipping 42,000 pounds of the plastic explosive C-4 directly to Libyan dictator Moammar Qadaffy in 1977, and then hiring U.S. experts - former U.S. Army Green Berets - to teach Qadaffy's people how to make bombs shaped like lamps, ashtrays and radios.  Bombs were actually made, and foes of Qadaffy were actually murdered. This was the ongoing crime that had made Wilson, and his still-missing accomplice, former CIA employee Frank Terpil, the most infamous desperadoes in the world. C-4, according to some experts, is the most powerful non-nuclear explosive made. Two pounds in the right places can bring down a jumbo jet. Hence, 42,000 pounds would be enough to bring down 21,000 jumbo jets. C-4 is highly prized on the world's black markets and is much in demand. It is supposedly very tightly controlled where it is manufactured - in the U.S.

SNIP...

That investigation, which resulted in a 1982 Virginia conviction, led to the discovery of the C-4 shipment to Qadaffy. By January of 1983 Barcella and a team of dedicated BATF agents had been on Ed Wilson's trail for five long years. Barcella, in Houston as an observer and advisor, had been "twiddling his thumbs most of the time," but he did testify as a witness.  He was, by virtue of his role as the originator of the cases, "the institutional memory" of DoJ. Ted Greenberg had, from the other side of the Potomac in Alexandria, taken over other investigations stemming from Wilson's activities which led eventually to the Eatsco scandal. That investigation involved Wilson cronies Tom Clines, Air Force General Richard Secord, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Eric von Marbod and the legendary Ted Shackley.

Shackley had served in the hottest CIA posts in history. He had run the Miami station known as JM-WAVE, targeting Fidel Castro in the early 1960s, and had been a key planner in the Bay of Pigs invasion. He was also directly involved in CIA attempts on Castro's life in concert with the Mafia. In the mid-sixties he had been the Chief of Station (COS) in Laos, running the largest covert operation in CIA history -  a secret war intimately tied with opium and heroin smuggling and the abandonment of large numbers of American POWs. In the late sixties and early seventies he had served as COS in Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War. After leaving Saigon, Shackley had, for a time, served as Chief of the Western Hemisphere Division as the CIA orchestrated the overthrow of Chile's Salvador Allende. He had then become Associate Deputy Director of Operations (running all covert operations) in time to, as FTW believes, "preside" over Ed Wilson's Libyan affairs and the events that would ultimately result in the downfall of the Shah of Iran. Everywhere you looked in Wilson's life - post 1971 - you found either Shackley or his career-long deputy and sidekick, Tom Clines.

SNIP...

Wilson, a one time career CIA agent, who had also worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), was fighting for his life. An "open source" paper trail from CIA showed that he had not worked at Langley since 1971. Shortly thereafter he began working for a secret Navy operation known as Task Force 157. But, according to other records from both CIA and the Navy, he stopped working for the ONI in 1976 and none of his Navy work was connected to Libya. After that, or so it seemed, even though he continuously socialized with some of the most powerful people in the U.S. intelligence community and the military, he did no official work for anyone.  It was in late 1975 and 1976, when George Bush ran the CIA, that Wilson, as an alleged rogue, opened ties to Qadaffy and began selling weapons, explosives and other services and equipment to the terrorist regime.

Hey, DU! THIS is how the BFEE operates.

9. Hey, Octafish, what's your reading on this Wilson development?

I would think some Reagan-Bush-Bush people would not be too thrilled about this. Like Ollie North, for example. And Elliot Abrams.

[Octafish]

10. The BFEE thought their secrets would die in prison...

...on the day old Ed Wilson went to meet his maker. Now that Judge Lynn Hughes has ruled the government lied and withheld exculpatory evidence, the mid-level treasonous turds like the butcher Abrams and the moron North will have to wait their turn for a chance at Wilson. First dibs on finishing what the federal pen couldn't do is George Herbert Walker Bush. If I was Wilson, I'd sure be looking for a safe house and a publisher right about now.

Wilson is more than an arms dealer doing the work of Capitalism's Invisible Army. He was, oops!, IS an ARTICHOKE and MK/ULTRA veteran. (WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR SQUEAMISH OR YOUNG CHILDREN):

George Bush, The CIA, Mind Control & Child Abuse

EXCERPT...

The doctor in charge of the Dachau experiments was Dr. Hubertus Strughold. Strughold was also involved in barbaric high altitude experiments on inmates of Dachau. Strughold was brought to the United States under the Project Paperclip and became America’s father of space medicine. His use of mind-altering drugs on inmates provided the foundation for the CIA’s research into truth serums and mind control. The United States first foray into truth serums started in 1947 as Project CHATTER initiated by the navy. The project was terminated in 1953. In 1949, at the Edgewood Arsenal the CIA began project Bluebird using Nazi scientists to find a truth serum. Project Bluebird evolved into Project Artichoke and eventually into MK-Ultra. MK-UTRA was much larger in focusing on mind control and the means to achieve it was not limited to drugs and psychedelics. MK-ULTRA experiments including using hypnosis, lobotomy, electroshock, sensory deprivation, ESP, and drugs experiments in hypnosis, lobotomy, electroshock, sensory deprivation, ESP, drugs and sexual abuse. Ironically, the CIA’s first widespread use of sex came from a program to blackmail United States politicians conducted by Edwin Wilson. The political targets were enticed to live out their sexual fantasies in the flesh. With hidden cameras ready the unsuspecting politician would be filmed, which would later be used to blackmail him into supporting the agency’s projects and views. Wilson's skill in these matters dated back to the early 1950s, when he took over a network of homosexual and pedophile rings from CIA asset and McCarthy Committee counsel Roy Cohn.

11. Holy Cat! Top DoJ Officials Implicated in Framing Wilson!!!!!!

Check out these names! They apparently knew the government case was based on sham evidence, yet did nada. And they are the creme de la creme of Reagan-Bush justice (such as it is):

Cream of the Current U.S. Legal/Judicial System Guilty of Perjury, Subornation and Conspiracy according to CIA and Justice Department Memos

No less than seven of the most powerful and prominent names in the U.S. legal/judicial system stand exposed of perjury and subornation of perjury according to CIA and Department of Justice documents in the possession of former CIA agent Edwin Wilson and his Houston attorney. The documents also indicate that Department of Justice officials knowingly concealed exculpatory evidence from Wilson's defense team before his 1982 conviction and 1983 sentencing on weapons charges. These documents have led to the filing of a motion by Wilson's court appointed attorney, David Adler, seeking to vacate Wilson's conviction on charges of selling plastic explosives to Libya in the period from 1976 to 1978. The Government is scheduled to respond to the motion in mid-January and may well have a tough time doing so in a way that avoids deep embarrassment, professional sanctions and/or criminal exposure for a lot of very important people.

Wilson, 71, serving a total of 52 years on three separate convictions was, according to Adler, convicted on the basis of a perjured affidavit from the CIA to the Department of Justice denying that Wilson had any "direct or indirect" affiliation or association with the Agency during the period of time in which he was selling plastic explosives to Libya's Moammar Qaddaffi and other groups. That the affidavit was perjured was confirmed by the release, under the Freedom of Information Act of an uncontested CIA follow-up memorandum addressed to then Deputy Assistant Attorney General Mark Richard entitled, "Duty To Disclose False Testimony."

That document, buttressed by additional papers, located over the last two and half years by Adler, indicates clearly that the Central Intelligence Agency committed perjury when it provided an affidavit from the Agency's then number three man, Executive Director Charles Briggs, to prosecutors trying Wilson's case. That affidavit, according to Adler, emphatically asserted that, "After a particular date in 1971 'Wilson was not asked or requested, directly or indirectly, to perform or provide any services, directly or indirectly for the CIA.'"

Adler's additional research, after traveling repeatedly from Houston to Washington to review close to 300,000 pages of documents, some released under the Freedom of Information Act, uncovered additional memoranda from the Department of Justice (DoJ). These documents indicate clearly that DoJ prosecutors and their supervisors, understood that the CIA memorandum was perjured and then decided to use it anyway.

CONTINUED WITH SOME REAL HIGH EXPLOSIVE BFEE STUFF!

12. I knew there would be something like this in there.

"This is particularly significant since three individuals involved in the Wilson case now sit on the Federal Bench and one is a Justice on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals."
