The CIA responds to a request from Koch (made after his interview with author John Dinges) for additional information in Agency files on the assassination threat against him. The Agency letter suggests that the CIA did not take the threat seriously at first because the officer making it was "reportedly in the state of intoxication." But, after the September 21, 1976, Washington D.C. car-bombing that killed Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt "U.S. officials questioned their assumption that other countries would not conduct assassinations in the U.S." The letter reveals that weeks after the threat was made, and one week after the carbombing, the CIA directorate of operations disseminated this intelligence to the FBI and State Department. The letter concludes with the CIA's refusal to declassify any actual documents on the Koch threat "because to do so would disclose the intelligence sources and methods by which the CIA obtained the above information."

The 1953 edition came out at the time of the death of Frank Olson btw.

Fwiw, I'm among the survivors of the domestic cleanup crews that were given lists during the Nixon years (as you are aware)-lists of "enemies" some of whom were murdered right here in HOMELAND. It has gotten worse since then.

...Elevator shafts, stairwells, unscreened windows and bridges will serve (In some cases), it will usually be necessary to stun or drug the subject before dropping him." (Some read, that 1953 CIA manual).

For those new to the subject, one of Frank Olson's children is a DUer:

Know your BFEE: Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ford Covered Up CIA Murder of American Scientist

Thank you for standing up to these un-American fascist gangsters, bobthedrummer. You've made people aware, and that is what they fear most.

my friend!

...looked like his signature on official letterhead, yet it was misinformation, disinformation, black propaganda and what not. How many people know how to do stuff like that, besides J Edgar Hoover and E Howard Hunt and Co.?

From GWU's National Security Archive:

when these things go uncorrected, all the rah rah sis boom bah means nothing.
dig in and stand up for democratic representation.
Cant have it when this murderous thuggery gets the last, unchallenged word.
So many good people gone dead, legitimate doubts and serious questions treated to derision.
fuck that.

Original OP from 2006: Know your BFEE or "Hey, America! Wake Up and Smell the Sulfur!"

Few today remember a most heinous terrorist act: The assassinations of former Chilean ambassador Orlando Letelier and American Ronnie Karpen Moffit.



Ms. Moffit was an American citizen murdered by agents of a foreign government on U.S. soil. Her only crime was being with Orlando Letelier, whose crime was to speak out against the military coup that toppled the democratically elected Chilean government he served. Because he refused to turn over the Chilean secret police and their American contacts, these assassinations were allowed, if not sanctioned, by George Bush, then director of central intelligence and head of the CIA.

As with all things having to do with the BFEE, the world get worse. So, a reminder:

October will mark the 30th anniversary of another most heinous terrorist act: The bombing of a Cuban civilian airliner that killed 73 passengers and crew. The pilots reported the blast caused their aircraft to catch fire and they were burning up as they attempted an emergency landing. The plane crashed into the Caribbean, a few miles west of Barbados. All aboard perished, including a close friend of the Great DUer malaise.



Cubana Airlines DC-8 like the one bombed by BFEE members Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch. Both turds have been protected by Poppy and Baby Doc Bush and the CIA, which strangely has been loyal to them rather than to various presidencies before and in-between.

Here’s an excellent essay based on the facts:

Really.

Should you use a sarcasm tag? Anyway, I'm glad to read you, greytdemocrat. Really. Most people who criticize me for posting about the BFEE usually don't state why.
