BEHIND THE SCENES

Sorry for the raggedy font presentation. My new ‘improved’ computer doesn’t have Word unless you pay something and doesn’t say how much until after you sign a million page legal statement so I’m trying to find a way to work around what I have on Mac Catalina with Microsoft.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, December 30



12-1 Dave Emory, For the Record #1163 - Farewell America Part 2




The program kicks off with a look at a full-page advertisement from The New York Times pledging resistance to Trump administration attempts at electoral nullification. The organization behind the ad is RefuseFascism.org. We note the first two signatories:

1.–Cornel West–a member of the [Bernie] Sanders Institute–advised after the 2016 Democratic National Convention that the Sanders voters had no choice but to cast their ballot for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate.

2.–Noam Chomsky–whose work on generative linguistics (which established him as an academician) was financed largely by Navy and Air Force Intelligence–helped to neutralize recognition of the decisive role in the Vietnam War of JFK’s assassination. JFK was in the process of pulling the U.S. out of Vietnam. That was among the reasons he was killed. With his behavior following the Oliver Stone opus “JFK,” Noam Chomsky did much to perpetuate the institutionalized fascism that has possessed the U.S. since before the end of World War II. Generative linguistics proved most useful in teaching personnel at the Monterey Defense Language Institute, one of whose graduates was Lee Harvey Oswald.

On the back of the front section of that same edition of The New York Times is an obituary of Seymour Topping. A luminary of the “Gray Lady” for decades, he was Southeast Asian Bureau chief from 1963 until 1966, during the time that JFK was murdered and the Vietnam War, as a result, gained full momentum.

Much of the program sets forth material from a consummately important recent book: Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O’Neill.

O’Neill develops a strong, albeit circumstantial, case that the criminal activities of the Manson Family were the core of a domestic intelligence operation. Specifically, it appears that the Manson “op” was a key element of a domestic Phoenix program–an assassination and terror campaign in the South during the Vietnam War.

Designed to “win hearts and minds,” the Phoenix Program was realized by the CIA, and employed “false flag” terrorist incidents and the deliberate murders of non-combatants that were blamed on the Vietcong and North Vietnamese.

” . . . . A Special Forces soldier, Anthony Herbert, the single most decorated combat veteran of Vietnam, published a bestselling book, Soldier, that detailed typical orders from his Phoenix superiors: “They wanted me to take charge of execution teams that wiped out entire families and tried to make it appear as though the Viet Cong had done it themselves. The rationale was that the Viet Cong would see that other Viet Cong had killed their own and . . . make allegiance with us. The good guys. “. . . .” Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O’Neill; p. 228.

Exemplifying the fusion of CIA, Operation Phoenix and the Los Angeles law enforcement establishment, Lieutenant Edward Herrmann helped create a counterinsurgency program in L.A. and California as a whole, integrated and coordinated with federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

Edward Herrman:

1.–Had a doctorate in psychology.

2.–Specialized in quelling insurgencies.

3.–Developed one of the first computer systems to track criminals and predict violent outbreaks in cities.

4.–Worked for many U.S. intelligence and military agencies, including: the Air Force, the Secret Service, the Treasury Department, the President’s Office of Science and Technology, the Institute for Defense Analysis, the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office, the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

5.–Appears to have worked for the Phoenix Program in Vietnam, using USAID for a cover.

6.–Worked for numerous defense contractors including: Electro-Dash Optical Systems, System Development Corporation and Control Data Corporation.

The concluding portion of the program consists of reading and analysis of O’Neill’s presentation of the career of one of the CIA’s most important MK-Ultra mind control operatives.

1-1:30 Chris Hedges “On Contact” (Catchup)

‘Wrecking the Left”.

On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to journalist Diana Johnstone about the betrayal of the Left with its historical role as the champion of social justice and peace now replaced with the boutique activism of identify politics, political correctness and what has become known as humanitarian intervention, the justification of US and NATO adventurism and wars on the specious belief it would liberate the women of Afghanistan or the peoples of Iraq.



Diana Johnstone’s memoir is ‘’Circle in the Darkness: Memoir of a World Watcher’’. Johnstone was the European editor of In The Times from 1979 to 1990, and her work has appeared in New Left Review, Counterpunch and Covert Action Quarterly.
