The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence.Pdf THE CIA AI{D THE CULT OF IilTELLIGEilCE The CIA and the government have fought long and hard - and not always ethically - first to discourage the writing of this book and then to prevent its publication. They have managed through legal technicalities and by raising the specter of "national security" violations, to achieve an uriprecedented abridgement of my constitutional right to free speech. They have secured an unwarranted and outrageous permanenl injunction against me, requiring that anything I write or say, "factual, fictional or otherwise," on the subject of intelligence must first be censored by the ClA. Under risk of criminal contempt of court, I can speak only at my own peril and must allow the CIA thirty days to review, and excise, my writings - prior to submitting them to a publisher fol consideration. ln the fall of 1972, obviously disturbed by the legal action the government had taken against the book he intended to write but which he had not yet started, he felt he needed someone to assist him in his work; Best of all would be a co-author with the background to make a substantive contribution as well as to help in the actual'writing. This book is the result of our joint effort. Victor Marchetti and John D, Marks Copyright €) 1974 by Victor Marchettland John D.

Under the terms of the court ruling, the CIA ordered the deletion of 339 passages of varying length. Later, following demands to the CIA by legal counsel for the authors - and the commence- ment of litigation by the publisher and the authors against the CIA challenging the censorship involved - all but 168 of these deletions were reinstated. An additional 140 passages, plus parts of two others, were cleared for publication by a federal judge, but because of con- tinuing appeals they are not available for inclusion. For a full account of these events, see the Introduction by Melvin L. Wulf, l*gal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which begins on page 19. As it presently exists, therefore, the manuscript of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence demonstrates with remarkable clarity the actual workings of the CIA's "classification" system. In this edition, passages the CIA originally ordered excised - and then reluctantly permitted to be reinstated - are printed in boldface type. Firm deletions, including the 140-plus passages cleared but stlll tied up in litigation, are indicated by blank spaces preceded and followed by parentheses : (DELETED). Thespa@s correspond to the actual length of the cuts. i Authors' Prefaces My introduction to the intelligence business came during the early i' years of the Cold War, while serving with the U.S. Army in Ger- [ . many. There, in 1952,I was sent to the European Command's | "special" school at Oberammergau to study Russian and the rudi- ) ments of intelligence methods and techniques. Aftenvard I was assigned to duty on the East German border. The information we t, collected on the enemy's plans and activities was of little sig- ' nificance, but the duty was good, sometimes even exciting. We . believed that we were keeping the world free for democracy, that , w€ were in the first line of defense against the spread of com- munlsm. After leaving the military service, I returned to college at Penn State, wherel majored in Sovietstudies andhistory.

    The Pentagon’s Spies: The Evolution of Spy Units through Obama Administration By Jeffrey T. Richelson Region: USA Global Research, July 07, 2015 Theme: Intelligence The National Security Archive 6 July 2015 Washington, D.C. – On April 20, 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta formally established a new Department of Defense spy organization — the Defense Clandestine Service (DCS). That memo marked yet another in the multiple starts, stops, and reversals in the human intelligence activities of the Department of Defense and the military services. The defense community’s rocky history of involvement with HUMINT includes both war- related and non-war missions, overt and covert programs, conflicts with Congress over the lack of transparency, and inevitable bureaucratic tensions among the uniformed services. Today, the National Security Archive updates its 2001 Electronic BriefingThe Book, Pentagon’s Spies, adding thirty-five new documents that bring the history of military HUMINT activities up to the year 2015. In addition to the Panetta memo (Document 50), this update contains records concerning: The House Permanent Select Committee’s discovery of the existence of the U.S. Army Intelligence Support Activity (Document 8, Document 10) The role of Admiral Bobby Inman in the disestablishment of Task Force 157 (Document 40) Operations of two Air Force human intelligence organizations – the 1127 Field Activities Group and the Air Force Special Activities CenterDocument ( 3a, Document 14a) Defense HUMINT Service activities in operations other than war (Document 30) The work of the Iraq Survey Group (Document 37) Expansion of Army and Air Force HUMINT operations since 2002Document ( 39, Document 41, Document 46, Document 54) The Pentagon’s Spies By Jeffrey T.

  • Was the CIA Involved in the Assassination of President Kennedy Or the Cover up Conspiracy?
    Was the CIA Involved in the Assassination of President Kennedy or the Cover Up Conspiracy? Introduction: For more than ten years there has been much speculation about whether the Central Intelligence Agency played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. With the Watergate revelations, the testimony of such well known CIA types as Richard Helms, E. Howard Hunt, and James McCord, and with many questions about the CIA's role in the Watergate episode still unanswered, it seems pertinent to once again raise the questions in the title. Was the CIA involved in some way in the conspiracy to assassinate John Kennedy, and was the agency involved in the second conspiracy to cover up the first? Various assassination researchers and writers have, through the ten years, shown substantial evidence that CIA front organizations and former CIA agents were involved in the first conspiracy and that the CIA itself was deeply involved in the cover up conspiracy. (1)(2)(3)(4) Recent revelations and.new evidence has appeared that make the questions worth further exploration. 2 E. Howard Hunt and Mexico City: The most recent revelations concern that compulsive spy, Everette Howard Hunt. Tad Szulc (5) has informed us that Hunt was CIA acting station chief in Mexico City during August and September, 1963. Because of a hole in the known whereabouts of Hunt, as documented by Szulc, we can draw the conclusion that he was still acting station chief in October and November 1963. To the uninitiated this may seem disconnected from the JFK assassina- tion. However, to the researchers who have had access to the statements made by CIA agents Harry Dean, Richard Case Nagell and to FBI reports about CIA agents Ronald Augustinovich and Mary Hope, Hunt's position in Mexico City is very significant.

DALE L. CRESSMAN News in Lights The Times Square Zipper and Newspaper Signs in an Age of Technological Enthusiasm During the latter half of the nineteenth century, when the telegraph had produced an appetite for breaking news, New York City newspaper publishers used signs on their buildings to report headlines and promote their newspapers. Originally, chalkboards were used to post headlines. But, fierce competition led to the use of new technologies, such as magic lantern projections. These and, later, electrically lighted signs, would evoke amazement. In 1928, during an age of invention, the New York Times installed an electric “moving letter” sign on its building in Times Square.

  • Nosenko: Five Paths to Judgment RICHARDS J
    CIA's internecine struggle in the 1960s about counterespionage left a cloud over counterintelligence disciplines there. At the core was the chief, James Angleton, and his trusted Soviet defector, Anatoliy Golitsyn; the trigger was the distrusted defection of another Soviet intelligence officer, Yuriy Nosenko. The saga was Homeric. It has been told many times-but never, I think, so well as in this meticulous logical and empirical exercise. The author has been one of CIA's finest intellects. He has published trenchantly in the open literature on theories of deception and counterdeception. Yet one must now acknowledge that cogent exoneration of Nosenko contributed to permanent rejection of Angleton, and eventually to years of reluctance to suspect even Aldrich Ames. So standards for vigilance remain disputable. Nosenko: Five Paths to Judgment RICHARDS J. HEUER, JR. Yuriy Nosenko, a middle-level KGB officer, volunteered his services to the Central Intelligence Agency in Geneva in 1962 and defected to the United States in 1964. His defection initiated a bitter and divisive contro­ versy over his bona fides that lasted at least 10 years, seriously impaired CIA operations against the Soviet Union, and today still simmers beneath the sur­ face of debates about Soviet deception. This study tells much ofthis important and fascinating case, but that is not its only purpose. It also explores some ofthe fundamental yet often unrecog­ nized assumptions that channel our thinking as we analyze the possibility of deception. The Nosenko controversy is used to illustrate five fundamentally different criteria for making judgments about deception. Examination of the controversy shows that the analytical criterion one uses determines what evi­ dence one looks at and possibly the conclusion one reaches.
