The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis

A PBS Documentary

 

“The National Security Act of ‘47 gave us the National Security Council. Never

have we had a National Security Council so concerned about the nation’s security

that we’re always looking for threats and looking how to orchestrate our society

to oppose those threats. National Security was invented, almost, in 1947, and

now it has become the prime mover of everything we do as measured against

something we invented in 1947. "

-- U.S. Navy Admiral Gene La Rocque in PBS Documentary " The Secret Government "

Dear friends,

If you've taken the time to explore some of the vast amount of reliable,

verifiable information on WantToKnow.info, you have very likely come to the

conclusion that there is a powerful shadow or secret government which

manipulates global politics behind the scenes. Government bureaucracies are

known for their inefficiency, yet it is their very well-organized and

hierarchical military and intelligence services through which those involved

with the secret government are able to implement their secret plans.

 

In the 22-minute PBS documentary available for free viewing below, host Bill

Moyers exposes the inner workings of the secret government. Though originally

broadcast in 1987, it is even more relevant today. Interviews with respected,

top military, intelligence, and government insiders reveal both the history and

secret objectives of powerful groups in the hidden shadows of our government.

 

The text of " The Secret Government " is also provided below for your

convenience. Please help to strengthen democracy and educate others by spreading

this important information. For suggestions on how each of us can work towards a

better way, Together, we can and will build a brighter future for us

all.

 

With gratitude and very best wishes,

Fred Burks for the WantToKnow.info Team

Former language interpreter for Presidents Bush and Clinton

intrepid BBC team clearly shows how the War on Terror is largely a fabrication.

THE SECRET GOVERNMENT – The Constitution In Crisis

 

Bill Moyers, Secret Government, PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) 1987

Moyers: “The Secret Government is an interlocking network of official

functionaries, spies, mercenaries, ex-generals, profiteers and superpatriots,

who, for a variety of motives, operate outside the legitimate institutions of

government. Presidents have turned to them when they can’t win the support of

the Congress or the people, creating that unsupervised power so feared by the

framers of our Constitution. Just imagine that William Casey’s dream came true.

Suppose the enterprise grew into a super-secret, self-financing,

self-perpetuating organization. Suppose they decided on their own to assassinate

Gorbachev or the leader of white South Africa. Could a President control them

and what if he became the enterprise’s public enemy Number One? Who would know?

Who would say no?”

 

“The history of our secret government.”

 

“World War II was over. Europe lay devastated. The United States emerged as

the most powerful nation on earth. But from the rubble rose a strange new world,

a peace that was not peace and a war that was not war. We saw it emerging when

the Soviets occupied Eastern Europe. The Cold War had begun.”

 

Winston Churchill: “An Iron Curtain has descended across the continent. Behind

that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern

Europe.”

 

Moyers: “The Russians had been our ally against the Nazis, an expedient

alliance for the sake of war. Now they were our enemy. To fight them we turned

to some of the very men who had inflicted on humanity the horrors of Hitler’s

madness. We hired Nazis’ as American spies. We struck a secret bargain with the

devil.”

 

Erhard Dabringhaus: “One that I know real well is Klaus Barbie. He was wanted

by the French as their number one war criminal and somehow we employed a man

like that as a very secretive informant.”

 

Moyers: “Erhard Dabringhaus was employed in the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence

Corps and assigned to work with Nazi informants spying on the Russians. One of

them was Klaus Barbie, the ‘Butcher of Lyon', who had tortured and murdered

thousands of Jews and resistance fighters. The Americans did not turn Barbie

over to the French when they finished with him. They helped him escape to

Bolivia. Other top Nazis were smuggled into the United States to cooperate in

the war against the new enemy.”

 

“So began the morality of the Cold War. Anything goes. The struggle required a

mentality of permanent war, a perpetual state of emergency. It had met a vast

new apparatus of power that radically transformed our government. Its

foundations were laid when President Truman signed into law the National

Security Act of 1947.”

 

Admiral Gene La Rocque: “Now that National Security Act of 1947 changed

dramatically the direction of this great nation. It established the framework

for a national security state.”

 

Moyers: “Admiral Gene La Rocque rose through the ranks from Ensign to become a

Strategic Planner for the Pentagon and now heads the Center of Defense

Information, a public interest group.”

 

Admiral Gene La Rocque: “The National Security Act of ‘47 gave us the National

Security Council. Never have we had a National Security Council so concerned

about the nation’s security that we’re always looking for threats and looking

how to orchestrate our society to oppose those threats. National Security was

invented, almost, in 1947, and now it has become the prime mover of everything

we do as measured against something we invented in 1947. The National Security

Act also gave us the Central Intelligence Agency.”

 

Moyers: “This is the house the Cold War built – the CIA. The core of the new

secret government. Its chief legitimate duty was to gather foreign intelligence

for America’s new role as a world power. Soon it was taking on covert

operations, abroad and at home. As its mission expanded, the CIA recruited

adventuresome young men like Notre Dame’s “All American”, Ralph McGehee.”

 

Ralph McGehee: “I look back to the individual that I was when I joined the

agency. I was a dedicated Cold Warrior who felt the agency was out there

fighting for liberty, justice and democracy and religion around the world. And I

believed wholeheartedly in this. I just felt proud every day that I went to work

because I was out at the vanguard of the battle against the international evil

empire – international Communist evil empire.”

 

Moyers: “Iran, 1953: the CIA mounted its first major covert operation to

overthrow a foreign government. The target was the Prime Minister of Iran,

Mohammed Mosaddeq. He held power legitimately, through his country’s

parliamentary process and he was popular. Washington had once looked to him as

the man to prevent a Communist takeover. But that was before Mosaddeq decided

that the Iranian state, not British companies, ought to own and control the oil

within Iran’s own borders. When he nationalized the British run oil fields,

Washington saw red.”

 

“The Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles and his brother Alan, Director of

the CIA, decided with Eisenhower’s approval, to overthrow Mosaddeq and reinstate

the Shah of Iran. The mobs paid by the CIA, and the police and soldiers bribed

by the CIA, drove Mosaddeq from office.”

 

Newscaster: “Crown Prince Abdullah greets the Shah as he lands at Baghdad

airport after a 7-hour flight from Rome.”

 

Moyers: The King of Kings was back in control and more pliable than Mosaddeq.

American oil companies took over almost half of Iran’s production. U.S. arms

merchants moved in with $18 billion of weapons sales over the next 20 years. But

there were losers.”

 

Kenneth Love (former New York Times reporter): “Nearly everybody in Iran of

any importance has had a brother, or a mother, or a sister, or a son, or a

father, tortured, jailed, deprived of property without due process. I mean an

absolutely buccaneering dictatorship in our name that we supported. SAVAK was

created by the CIA!”

 

Bill Moyers: “SAVAK, the Shah’s Secret Police, tortured and murdered thousands

of his opponents. General Richard Secord and Albert Hakim, whom we met earlier,

were among those who helped supply the Shah’s insatiable appetite for the

technology of control. But the weapons and flattery heaped by America on the

Shah blinded us to the growing opposition of his own people. They rose up in

1979 against him. “Death to the Shah!” they shouted. “Death to the American

Satan.”

 

Kenneth Love: “Khomeni, is a direct consequence and the hostage crisis is a

direct consequence, and the resurgence of the Shi’a is a direct consequence of

the CIA’s overthrow of Mosaddeq in 1953.”

 

Moyers: “Guatemala 1954. Flushed with success America’s Secret Government

decided another troublesome leader must go. This time it was Jacobo Arbenz, the

democratically elected president of Guatemala. Philip Rettinger was recruited

from the Marines to join the CIA team.”

 

Colonel Philip Roettinger (Ret.) U.S. Marine Corps: “It was explained to me

that it was very important for the security of the United States that we were

going to prevent a Soviet beach-head in this hemisphere, which we have heard

about very recently of course, and that the Guatemalan government was Communist

and we had to do something about it.”

 

Moyers: “President Arbenz had admired Franklin D. Roosevelt and his government

voted often with the American position at the United Nations. But in trying to

bring a new deal to Guatemala, Arbenz committed two sins in the eyes of the

Eisenhower administration. First, when he opened the system to all political

parties he recognized the Communists too.”

 

Roettinger: “Well, of course there was not even a hint of Communism in his

government. He had no Communists in his Cabinet. He did permit the existence of

a very small Communist party.”

 

Moyers: “Arbenz also embarked on a massive land reform program. Less than 3

per cent of the land owners held more than 70 per cent of the land. So Arbenz

nationalized more than 1 ½ million acres, including land owned by his own family

and turned it over to peasants. Much of that land belonged to the United Fruit

Company, the giant American firm that was intent on keeping Guatemala, quite

literally, a Banana Republic. United Fruit appealed to its close friends in

Washington, including the Dulles brothers, who said that Arbenz was openly

playing the Communist game. He had to go.”

 

Roettinger: “This was sudden death for him. There was no chance of him winning

this fight because of the fact that he had done this to the United Fruit

Company. Plus the fact, that he was overthrowing the hegemony of the United

States over this area. And this was dangerous, it not be tolerated. We couldn’t

tolerate that.”

 

Moyers: “From Honduras, the same country that today is the Contra staging

base, the CIA launched a small band of mercenaries against Guatemala. They were

easily turned back. So with its own planes and pilots the CIA then bombed the

capital. Arbenz fled and was immediately replaced by an American puppet, Colonel

Carlos Castillo Armas.”

 

Roettinger: “He overturned all of the reformist activities of President

Arbenz. He gave the land back to the United Fruit Company that had been

confiscated. He took land from the peasants and gave it back to the land

owners.”

 

Bill Moyers: “The CIA had called its covert action against Guatemala,

Operation Success. Military dictators ruled the country for the next 30 years.

The United States provided them with weapons and trained their officers. The

Communists we saved them from would have been hard pressed to do it better.

Peasants were slaughtered. Political opponents were tortured. Suspected

insurgents were shot, stabbed, burned alive or strangled. There were so many

deaths at one point that coroners complained they couldn’t keep up with the work

load. Operation Success.”

 

Rettinger: “What we did has caused a succession of repressive military

dictatorships in that country and has been responsible for the deaths over

100,000 of their citizens.”

Moyers: “Success breeds success, sometimes with dreary repetition. Mario

Sandoval Alarcon began his career in the CIA’s adventure in Guatemala. Today

he’s known as the Godfather of the Death Squads. In 1981, after lobbying Ronald

Reagan’s advisors for military aid to Guatemala, Sandoval Alarcon danced at the

Inaugural Ball.”

 

Moyers: “Richard Bissell, another veteran of the Guatemalan coup, went on to

become the CIA’s Chief of Covert Operations. I looked him up several years ago

for a CBS documentary. Cuba, 1961, seven years after Operation Success in

Guatemala, Bissell was planning another CIA covert operation.”

 

Newscaster: “The assault has begun on the dictatorship of Fidel Castro.”

 

Moyers: “On April 17, 1961, Cuban exiles trained by the CIA at a base in

friendly Guatemala landed on the southern coast of Cuba, at the Bay of Pigs. The

U.S. had promised air support, but President Kennedy cancelled it. The invaders

left defenseless, surrendered. Seven months after the disastrous invasion,

Kennedy delivered a major foreign policy address.”

 

President John F. Kennedy: “We cannot, as a free nation, compete with our

adversaries in tactics of terror, assassination, false promises, counterfeit

mobs and crisis.”

 

Moyers: “The President was not telling the truth. Even as he spoke, his

administration was planning a new covert war on Cuba. It would include some of

the dirty tricks the President said we were above. The Secret Government was

prepared for anything.”

 

Moyers interview with Richard Bissel: “At one time, the CIA organized a small

department known as Executive Action, which was a permanent assassination

capability.”

 

Bissel: “Well, it wasn’t just an assassination capability it was a capability

to discredit or get rid of people, but it could have included assassination.”

 

Moyers: “And it did. There were at least eight documented attempts to kill

Castro. He says there were two dozen. And there was even one effort to put LSD

in his cigars. To help us get rid of the Cuban leader, our Secret Government

turned to the Mafia just as we once made use of Nazis. The gangsters included

the Las Vegas Mafioso John Roselli, the Don of Chicago, Sam Giancana, and the

Boss of Tampa, Santo Traficante.”

 

Moyers: “If I read you correctly you are saying it is the involvement in the

Mafia that disturbed you and not the need or decision to assassinate a foreign

leader.”

 

Bissel: “Correct.”

 

Moyers: “It is a chilling thought made more chilling by the assassination of

John Kennedy. The accusations linger. In some minds, the suspicions persist of a

dark unsolved conspiracy behind his murder. You can dismiss them, as many of us

do. But knowing now what our Secret Government planned for Castro, the

possibility remains. Once we decide that anything goes, anything can come home

to haunt us.”

 

“Vietnam, 1968: American soldiers are fighting and dying in the jungles of

Southeast Asia. But the Vietnam War didn’t start this way. It started secretly

off the books like so many of these ventures that have ended disastrously. The

CIA got there early, soon after the Vietnamese won their independence from the

French in 1954. Eisenhower warned that the nations of Southeast Asia would fall

like dominoes if the Communists, led by Ho Chi Min, took over all Vietnam. To

hold the line, we installed in Saigon, a puppet regime under Ngo Dinh Diem.

American-trained commandoes were used to sabotage bus and rail lines and

contaminate North Vietnam’s oil supply.”

“President Kennedy sent the Green Berets to Vietnam and turned to full scale

counter-insurgency. He had once said that Vietnam was the ultimate test of our

will to stem the tide of world communism. By the time of his death, there were

15,000 Americans there. They were called “Advisors.” The secret war was leading

only to deeper involvement and more deception.”

 

President Lyndon Johnson: “It is my duty to the American people to report that

renewed hostile actions against United States ships on the high seas in the Gulf

of Tonkin have today required me to order the military forces of the United

States, to take action and reply.”

 

Moyers: “This President was not telling the truth either. The action at the

Gulf of Tonkin was not unprovoked. South Vietnam had been conducting secret

raids in the area against the North and the American destroyer, ordered into the

battle zone, had advanced warning it could be attacked. But Johnson seized the

incident to stampede Congress into passing the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. He

then used it as a blank check for the massive build up of American forces.”

 

“April, 1965: Two battalions of Marines land in South Vietnam. The first of

more than 2 ½ million Americans to fight there with no Congressional declaration

of war. The dirty little war that began in secret, is reaching full roar.

Free-fire zones, defoliation, the massacre at My Lai, napalm, and the CIA’s

Operation Phoenix to round up, torture and kill suspected Viet Cong.”

 

Ralph McGehee: “We were murdering these people, incinerating them.”

 

Moyers: “Ralph McGehee was there for the CIA and helped set up South Vietnam’s

secret police.”

 

McGehee (Notre Dame " All American " ): “My efforts had resulted in the deaths of

many people and I just – for me it was a period when I guess I was – I

considered myself nearly insane – I just couldn’t reconcile what I had been and

what I was at the time becoming.”

 

Moyers: “Many of the secret warriors in Southeast Asia had no such doubts or

regrets. Some of the team that later joined the Iran-Contra enterprise, helped

to run the secret war in Laos. As General Richard Secord later put it, “Laos

belonged to the CIA.” Looking back, it is stunning how easily the Cold War

enticed us into surrendering popular control of government to the National

Security State. We’ve never come closer to bestowing absolute authority on the

President. Setting up White House groups that secretly decide to fight dirty

little wars, is a direct assumption of the war powers expressly forbidden by the

Constitution.”

 

“Not since December, 1941, has Congress declared war. Since then, we’ve had a

police action in Korea, advisors in Vietnam, covert operations in Central

America, peacekeeping in Lebanon and low intensity conflicts going on right now

from Angola to Cambodia. We’ve turned the war powers of the United States over

to, well we are never really sure who, or what they’re doing, or what it costs,

or who is paying for it. The one thing that we are sure of is that this largely

secret global war carried on with less and less accountability to democratic

institutions, has become a way of life. And now we are faced with a question

brand new in our history. Can we have the permanent warfare state and democracy

too?”

 

Congressional hearings: “A shellfish toxin –

 

Moyers: “In 1975 as the war in Vietnam came to an end, Congress took its first

public look at the Secret Government. Senator Frank Church chaired the Select

Committee to study government operations. The hearings opened the books on a

string of lethal activities. From the use of electric pistols and poison

pellets, to Mafia connections and drug experiments. And they gave us a detailed

account of assassination plots against foreign leaders and the overthrowing of

sovereign governments. We learned, for example, how the Nixon administration had

waged a covert war against the government of Chile’s president, Salvador Allende

who was ultimately overthrown by a military coup and assassinated.”

 

Senator Church: “Like Caesar peering into the colonies from distant Rome,

Nixon said the choice of government by the Chileans was unacceptable to the

President of the United States. The attitude in the White House seemed to be –

if in the wake of Vietnam, I can no longer send in the Marines, then, I will

send in the CIA.”

 

Moyers: “This remains for me the heart of the matter. The men who wrote our

Constitution, our basic book of rules, were concerned that power be held

accountable. No party of government and no person in government, not even the

President, was to pick or choose among the laws to be obeyed. But how does one

branch of government blow the whistle on another? Or how do the people cry foul

when their liberties are imperiled, if public officials can break the rules, lie

to us about it, and then wave the wand of national security to silence us?”

 

“Can it happen again? You bet it can. The apparatus of secret power remains

intact in a huge White House staff operating in the sanctuary of presidential

privilege. George Bush has already told the National Security Council to take

more responsibility for foreign policy which can of course be exercised beyond

public scrutiny. And a lot of people in Washington are calling for more secrecy,

not less, including more covert actions. This is a system easily corrupted as

the public grows indifferent again, and the press is seduced or distracted. So

one day, sadly, we are likely to discover once again that while freedom does

have enemies in the world it can also be undermined here at home, in the dark,

by those posing as its friends. I’m Bill Moyers. Good night. "

BBC Documentary Power of Nightmares

And Presidential Interpreter Fred Burks

Expose Roots of War on Terror

 

 

Dear friends,

 

Both an eye-opening BBC documentary, The Power of Nightmares (view free), and

my own personal experience as a presidential interpreter expose disturbing

manipulations in the war on terror. The Power of Nightmares and two other highly

revealing videos are available online for free viewing at the links provided

below. My own personal experience working in secret meetings with several

presidents and other top officials as an interpreter for the US Department of

State are also described below. Links are provided to recent articles in the

mainstream media about my experiences. At the end of this email are empowering

suggestions on how you can help to strengthen democracy and build a brighter

future for us all.

 

The Power of Nightmares. This revealing BBC documentary digs deep into the

roots of the war on terror, only to find that much of the widespread fear in the

post 9/11 world has been fabricated by those in power for their own interests.

The intrepid BBC team presents highly informative interviews with top officials

and experts in combating terrorism who raise serious questions about who is

behind all of the fear-mongering.

 

This eye-opening documentary shows that, especially after 9/11, fear has been

used to manipulate the public into giving up civil liberties and turning over

power to elite groups with their own hidden agendas. The Power of Nightmares

clearly demonstrates that the nightmare vision of a powerful, united terrorist

organization waiting to strike our societies is largely an illusion. Wherever

the BBC team looked for al-Qaeda, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the

sleeper cells in America, they found that we are chasing a phantom enemy. For

all citizens who care about the future of our world, this is a must-watch video.

In my own experience as an interpreter for US and foreign presidents, I have

personally witnessed some of the manipulations mentioned in the Power of

Nightmares. Having worked as an Indonesian interpreter with the US Department of

State for over 18 years, I recently testified to this in the widely publicized

trial of Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir. Among other things, Mr.

Ba'asyir is accused by US authorities of being the mastermind behind JI (Jemaah

Islamiah), which is alleged to be a sister organization of Al Qaeda. Many

Indonesians are quite skeptical of these allegations. Like me and the BBC video,

they question whether JI was largely fabricated by powerful elite groups with

hidden agendas.

 

At the trial, I testified about a Sept. 2002 secret meeting at which I

interpreted for President of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri, US Ambassador

Ralph Boyce, National Security Council representative Karen Brooks, and a

special assistant sent personally by President Bush (who revealed privately to

me that she was a CIA agent). The " special assistant " pressured President

Megawati to secretly capture and turn over Abu Bakar Ba'asyir to the United

States. Yet US authorities have continually denied ever putting any pressure on

Jakarta to act against Ba'asyir. To read articles about my recent testimony in

the Boston Globe and BBC, and to read some of what I've written on this and

more, see below.

For the many miracles resulting from my testimony,

http://www.WantToKnow.info/050129fredburkscelebrity

 

Over a year before this secret meeting, a trusted friend gave me some

powerful, disturbing information which opened my eyes to large-scale

manipulations of which I had previously been completely unaware. This

information involved the public testimony of over 20 government and military

witnesses whose credentials could not be questioned. The information revealed in

their testimony clearly did not benefit them personally. In fact, it threatened

their careers. Yet though these brave individuals testified in public with large

numbers of reporters present, only one newspaper in the US reported on this

major occurrence. The media was clearly complicit in keeping this disturbing

information hidden from the public.

 

Since my eyes were opened four years ago, I have dedicated myself to

uncovering all that is going on behind the scenes. I discovered and became

deeply involved with a loosely organized international network of researchers

who have committed themselves to researching major cover-ups of which very few

are aware, and to spreading the word, so that we might all work together to

return to a full, open democracy which supports all people in our good world. In

early 2003, I established the website WantToKnow.info in order to make the

results of this research available to the public. On this website, you will find

concise summaries of reliable facts and information on a number of major

cover-ups. All information is verifiable using the sources provided.

 

If you are interested in learning more, two other eye-opening videos are

available online for free viewing. The first is a short clip that raises key

questions about what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. The second is a C-SPAN

program which exposes critical information on 9/11 not covered by the 9/11

commission. I also highly recommend a third excellent documentary on the erosion

of civil liberties which, though not available for free viewing, can be ordered

online. All of these revealing videos expose serious manipulations in the war on

terror.

 

Pentagon Strike. This short, yet powerful film raises important questions

regarding what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11. Only five-minutes in length, it

is well worth watching. For an excellent website on this topic, see

http://www.pentagonresearch.com

 

Available for free viewing at

http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php

 

Professor David Ray Griffin on C-SPAN. In his 80-minute lecture to a standing

room audience of 400 at the University of Wisconsin, Prof. Griffin, one of the

most respected theologians in the US, discusses his extensive research into the

9/11 cover-up. David Ray Griffin is professor emeritus at the Claremont School

of Theology, where he taught for over 30 years. The research he has done shows

clearly that the 9/11 Commission omitted and distorted numerous critical facts

on the 9/11 attacks. He has authored or edited over two dozen scholarly books.

Unconstitutional. In this most excellent documentary, interviews with ranking

members of Congress, top legal experts, and even a former CIA chief describe

many insidious efforts to take away privacy and freedoms guaranteed under the

constitution for over 200 years. Compelling video footage shows US citizens,

from law-abiding store clerks to a US Olympian, who have been the victims of

unconstitutional policies established under the Patriot Act. Members of Congress

describe the replacement of the previously agreed upon Patriot Act by another

version quietly slipped into its place just hours before the final vote in

Congress, leaving no one time to read the many devastating changes inserted at

the last minute. Call your friends together to watch this engaging film, and to

join in the growing movement to uphold democracy and the US Constitution.
