  • North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project the Original
    The following is reproduced with permission of the author from its source at: http://japanfocus.org/-Peter_Dale-Scott/3491 Additional links and annotations provided by David Ratcliffe. North, Iran-Contra, and the Doomsday Project: The Original Congressional Cover Up of Continuity- of-Government Planning by Peter Dale Scott The Asia-Pacific Journal Vol 9, Issue 8 No 1 21 February 2011 If ever the constitutional democracy of the United States is overthrown, we now have a better idea of how this is likely to be done. That may be the most important contribution of the recent Iran-contra congressional hearings. —Theodore Draper, “The Rise of the American Junta,” New York Review of Books, October 8, 1987. In 1989 I published the following article, “Northwards without North: Bush, Counterterrorism, and the Continuation of Secret Power.” It is of interest today because of its description of how the Congressional Iran-Contra Committees, in their investigation of Iran-Contra, assembled documentation on what we now know as Continuity of Government (COG) planning, only to suppress or misrepresent this important information in their Report. I was concerned about the committees’ decision to sidestep the larger issues of secret powers and secret wars, little knowing that these secret COG powers, or “Doomsday Project,” would in fact be secretly implemented on September 11, 2011. (One of the two Committee Chairs was Lee Hamilton, later co-chair of the similarly evasive 9/11 Commission Report). Recently I have written about the extraordinary power of the COG network Doomsday planners, or what CNN in 1991 described as a “shadow government…about which you know nothing.”[1] Returning to my 1989 essay, I see the essential but complex overlap between this Doomsday Committee and the Iran-Contra secret “junta” or cabal described by Theodore Draper and Senator Paul Sarbanes within the Reagan-Bush administration.

  • The National Security Council and the Iran-Contra Affair
    THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL AND THE IRAN- CONTRA AFFAIR Congressman Ed Jenkins* and Robert H. Brink** I. INTRODUCTION Early in November of 1986, newspapers in the United States carried the first reports that the United States government, in an effort to gain release of United States citizens held hostage by terrorists in Lebanon, had engaged in a covert policy of supplying arms to elements within Iran.' Later in that month, following a preliminary inquiry into the matter, it was revealed that some of the funds generated from those arms sales had been diverted to support the "Contra" 2 forces fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The events giving rise to these disclosures became known collectively as the "Iran-Contra Affair." Both elements of the affair raised serious questions regarding the formulation and conduct of our nation's foreign policy. In regard to the Iranian phase of the affair, the Regan administration's rhetoric had placed the administration firmly in op- position to any dealings with nations supporting terrorism, and with Iran in particular.' In addition, the United States had made significant * Member, United States House of Representatives, Ninth District of Georgia. LL.B., University of Georgia Law School, 1959.

McNeil testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's subcommittee on terrorism, narcotics and international operations, chaired by Sen. John Kerry. McNeil, a 31-year Foreign Service officer, left the State Department in February 1987, due to "clashes" with Asst. Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs Elliott Abrams. At the time of his resignation, McNeil held the position of Senior Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research. Among other posts in his career, McNeil served as US Ambassador to Costa Rica, and Deputy Asst. Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. McNeil's testimony on selected topics is summarized below. "Obsession with Nicaragua" Leads U.S. to Subvert Anti-Drug & Support for Democratization Policies In his testimony, McNeil argued that some US officials' "obsession with Nicaragua" precluded "rational decisionmaking" regarding other US policy objectives, particularly commitments to curb international drug trafficking and terrorism, and to support democratization in Latin America.

  • Guidelines on SPECIAL BRANCH WORK in the United Kingdom
    Guidelines on SPECIAL BRANCH WORK in the United Kingdom Foreword Within the police service, Special Branches play a key role in protecting the public and maintaining order. They acquire and develop intelligence to help protect the public from national security threats, especially terrorism and other extremist activity, and through this they play a valuable role in promoting community safety and cohesion. These revised Guidelines – which replace the Guidelines issued in 1994 – describe the current broad range of Special Branch roles and functions at national, regional and local levels. Although Special Branches continue to have important roles in the policing of extremist activity and in the provision of personal protection for VIPs and Royalty, counter terrorist work, in close co-operation with the Security Service (MI5), is currently the main focus of their activity. The current nature of the terrorist threat requires a flexible response and we are encouraged by the development of regional structures which will enhance this approach. In addition, the appointment of the National Co-ordinator of Special Branch will help ensure an even more effective joined-up approach. We are grateful for the professionalism and efficiency with which all Special Branch Officers carry out their duties and we hope that the revised Guidelines provide a useful tool in describing and putting into context the essential nature of Special Branch working. We commend them to you. The Rt Hon David Blunkett MP Cathy Jamieson MSP The Rt Hon Jane Kennedy MP Secretary of State for Minister for Justice Minister of State for the Home Department Northern Ireland GUIDELINES ON SPECIAL BRANCH WORK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM PURPOSE 1.
