1/22

Submitted main text to Congressman Waxmans Webform on Saturday 7 June 2008since my computer appeared to be blocked from accessing his Govt. Oversight and Reform Committees Webform. Note: when Isubmitted it, his website showed me the finished product, unlike the Committees website. Thus, I learned that the formatting wasnot preserved when one pastes text in. I then tried to insert a paragraph break by hand in a second message. Again the formating wasnot preserved. So, I sent a message for him to look for Case 18 in a separate PDF file at www.libertycalling.com so he and hiscommittee could actually read what I wrote with the links, etc. intact.

Case 18: The Cook the Intelligence Committees Payments to Bush, Sr. andthe Rockefellers cousins

The director of the documentary IRAQ FOR SALE, Robert Greenwald, stated that;

the CEO of Halliburton made $100 million since the start of the Iraq War,

and the CEO of CACI [company of the privatized torture scandal at Abu Ghraib

prison] made $20 million last year!

My Investigation of the Cook the Intelligence Committee

Although I was in high level of meetings at the Pentagon and CIA, I was intermittently still

collecting intelligence in the war zones. I was never a 2-star general of military campaigns;

I oversaw the intelligence collection of officers. I trained officers in remote viewing. Thoseeducated guesses were next to worthless unless one diligently collected the hard data--

regardless of the risk. When I trained them in the field, I was like a soldier sharing the same

hardships. We ate the same food and slept on the same the hard desert ground, through heat,

cold, rain, or sandstorms. So, their hardships were not something that I could ignore while I

sat on meetings.

I was shot at both in the war zones and at one of those meetings. My work inside the CIAand Pentagon was much more dangerous to me--people knew who I was there and that I was

coming back at fixed times. And many of them had personal grudges against me. I

believed that God did want everyone to act with integrity. I tried to clean up problems as I

came across them.

The Cook the Intelligence Committee was not within my domain to attend; I had started

as an operative. I did manage to obtain a full set of their minutes. I also informally

interviewed 2 of their members about the Committees work.

The History of the Cook the Intelligence Committee

That Committee had been meeting since 1990. Many people jokingly referred to it as the

Middle East War Committee since it was started about 2 days after Hussein invaded Kuwait

in Aug. 1990. That committee had never been disbanded in the decade between the 1991

Iraq War and 911 in 2001. The minutes justified those 10 years of work by saying thatBush, Sr. had not finished off Hussein and more work needs to be done to ensure US goals

in the area are met.

One major goal of the committee was to provide intelligence on the oil reserves of the

Middle East to politicians. Another was to provide intelligence on the stability of the

region and how to get the oil out of it. More ominously one of its goals was to recommend

which foreign leaders could be assassinated to aid in getting the oil out. About 40% of its

efforts went to figuring out how to start a war in the Middle East that the US public would

support.

About 10% of its efforts forecasting how much money could be made from going to war in

the Middle East.

About 20% of its efforts went into writing ultra top-secret reports on how to position

selected US companies to get the most financial benefit from such a war.

About 10% of its efforts went into covering up the real motivation behind the 1991 Iraq War

waged by Bush, Sr.. 3


4/22

Oddly, 5% of its efforts centered on making sure that the Kennedy assassinations remained

covered up.

[Memo from J. Edgar Hoover to the State Department's Intelligence & Research Bureaeu

(INR), dated 29 November 1963, advising of a briefing given by an FBI agent to "Mr.

George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency" on 23 November 1963. Obtained from US

National Security Archives. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapata_Corporation .]

And about10% on

making sure

that the Bush-

Rockefeller-

Nazi

connections

were covered

up.

And about 5% on making sure that the Bush-Rockefeller-Auschwitz connections remained

covered up. (Please see references at the end of Case 12.) It was not an easy task.

Bush, Sr. had called Nixon to ask him to resign so that investigation of the Water-Gate

Scandal did not track back to nastier events than merely breaking into the Democratic

Convention. Nixon had resigned the next day (see Former Federal Prosecutor John Loftusconfirms the Bush-Nazi scandal at www.john-loftus.com/bush_nazi_scandal.asp ).

So, about 30% of the Committees efforts were aimed at keeping a lid on some very nasty

historical facts. That strongly implied that those tasking that committee had a lot to lose if

those facts were publicly known. Why did they want to cover-up the JFK evidence? Why

were they still recommending assassinations of people with that evidence?

The Committee Had Ordered Hits to Cover-up Loose Threads of JFKs Assasination

I found in the minutes more than 3 instances in which they had recommended such

assassinations. And I was able to confirm in the Clandestine Dept. that three of those people

had been killed by it.

One of them was an old CIA buddy of Bush, Sr.s from Operation Zapata who had told

people that Bush, Sr. worked for the CIA in the Bay of Pigs debacle. He was killed the day

before a CNN reporter was due to interview him, if I remember correctly.

Another was a woman who had been his secretary at Zapata Oil, but who was also a CIA

employee. The more I looked into it the more it appeared that Zapata Oil was a CIA front.

6/22

Everyone who worked for it at the time of the Bay of Pigs invasion had been vetted by it

and their salaries were being paid by the CIA.

The 3rd hit was ordered against a journalist

who had been given a very incriminating

piece of evidence. It was a photograph

taken from behind the Grassy Knoll on the

day of the Kennedy assassination just after

the assassination. It showed a crowd of

people rushing towards the camera in thebackground. In the foreground was a man

with a rifle jumping into a sedan. I was

able to locate a copy of the photo in a CIA

file of the dead journalist. It was in that

Committees own file room adjoining its

meeting room. That meeting room and file

room were locked except when in use by

that committee. I scanned the photo into a

computer, clipped the figures out of thepicture and asked 3 of the CIAs photo

identification experts who the two men were. I did that to ensure that I had been correct, not

because the photo was blurry. The photo was taken about 10 feet from the front of the car.

They knew immediately without having to go to their files. E. Howard Hunt was the man

standing... .

One of the 3 experts when he saw the picture of the man sitting behind the drivers wheel

said to me angrily, You shouldnt be looking into this. You could be killed for it. I could

be killed for even telling you who that is a photo of. But his photo was displayed in many,

many places in the CIA.

8/22

Since there was no independent confirmation that Bush, Sr. was outside of Dallas at the time

of the JFK assassination, his calling and saying he was, was this his self-constructed alibi

for his presence in Dallas at that time. Why did he feel he needed to create such a piece of

false evidence? People have since pointed out that the man whose name he gave as a

suspect was later a friend of his. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapata_Corporation .

Bush, Sr.s Payment by the Committee for Endless Speeches

Bush, Sr.,

although

he had

been a DCI

for only

one year in

1976 was

listed as a

member of

that

committee.

He was the

only

member of

it not

currently

working at

the CIA.

Occasionally, about twice a year, he did attend that meeting inside the CIA.

9


10/22

The CIA is

called Bush,

Srs CIA onsome of its

most

important

signs. When

I investigated

if he was

getting paid

by the CIAs

creative

accounting

computer for

attending, I

learned some

disturbing

facts.

Similar to Tenet, he was paid for a speech. The amount was $60,000 in 2004, and had

been about $40,000 in the 1990s after the Gulf War ended. The first payment I could find

was from about 1995. But what was so alarming was he was getting paid for a speechwhether he attended a meeting or not, day in and day out. The cost to the taxpayer was so

mind boggling that I had to check my findings from querying the computer. I had it print 10


11/22

out the individual payments for the whole time that they had been made, about 10 years. I

then located the corresponding forms for the recent year. They were indeed the same form

the other committee members used. Each one had the box checked next to the word present.

I rushed up to Tenet to show

him and ask him what itcould possibly mean. Tenet

turned away from me and

looked out his top floor

window a moment. Then he

turned back and lamely

offered that, Perhaps it is

an error in accounting. He

was the one signing those

forms day in and day out.

Unlike Bush, he usually did

have a pretty good

understanding of what he

was signing before he put

his signature on a page. The

exception to that rule was if

he was in a dreadful rush

from an emergency. It was not reasonable to assume that he had been in such a rush every

day of the year for almost the 7 years he was DCI. During that time Bush, Sr. was paid

over $40,000 five times a week.

Year Payment per Speech ~# of Weeks ~# of Speeches Total in Millions

1995 $40,000 10 50 $2

1996 $40,000 50 250 $10

1997 $40,000 50 250 $10

1998 $40,000 50 250 $10

1999 $40,000 50 250 $10

2000 $40,000 50 250 $10

2001 $60,000 50 250 $15

2002 $60,000 50 250 $15

2003 $60,000 50 250 $15

2004 $60,000 10 50 $3Total 2100 $100

11


12/22

The amount the CIAs computer gave for the figure was a little over $100 million. The

above table is not meant to be an accurate accounting as the amount of time he was paid

already in 2004 was not exactly 10 weeks, nor the amount in 1995 either.

But the jump in the feecame within a week of

Bush, Jr. being inaugurated

at the end of January in

2001.

The signs at the CIA

claiming it was Bush, Sr.s

CIA were right in some

financial sense that I had

not previously understood.

It made no historical sense

to call it Bush, Sr.s CIA by

the amount of time he had

spent as DCI--one year. I

then looked up past DCIs

on the CIAs creative

accounting computer to see

if they were getting the

taxpayers hard earned

money mainlined into theirSwiss bank accounts. I could find no evidence of that as a rule, other than generous

pensions, often for only a year or few years of work at the CIA.

It should be remembered

that many people in

America were working 2

jobs to be able to pay

their rent. Many had nopensions because

companies downsized.

And many had no health

insurance because they

could not afford it

because corporations

were not paying them a

livable wage. There was

plenty of Corporate

Welfare.

But this appeared to be straight embezzlement.

13/22

Bush, Sr.s Standard Speech

I called up Bush, Sr. and complimented him on a recent speech he had given that was

reported in the press. Then I asked him if it was hard going around the world giving so

many speeches. He said that it wasnt too bad, he was only doing about one a week. I asked

him what he usually spoke about. He said that he was talking to Defense Contractors and

drumming up business. I asked him how business was going and he said, Pretty good. I

am a little disappointed that foreign govts. have not been more enthusiastic about theCoalitions efforts. I asked him what he would like to do differently. I was taking notes

and told him that I was recording his answers for the CIAs analysts. I did give them a copy.

He is a good speaker and a brilliant man. He spoke for about 10 minutes and then asked if I

had other questions. I asked his permission to forward questions from CIA analysts to him

and get his response, as a one-time courtesy, if he would be so kind. He agreed and that

turned into an hour video conference call. Many of the Cook the Intelligence committee

members asked questions during it. Other CIA analysts complained that they had blocked

other questions by taking up all of the time. They had asked 80% of the questions--there

had only been time for 5. The fifth was not by a committee member. But by then 90% of

the scheduled 50 minutes had been taken up. Bush, Sr. did not answer the 5th question and

excused himself early. I was later able to prove that the Committee had faxed him the 4

questions in advance. In addition, they had conspired to make sure that their questions were

asked by the supposedly independent MC. That MC had said that he had received hundreds

of good questions from the analysts and had chosen the best based on their merits. A brief

examination of the actual questions made that a very difficult to believe claim. In fact,

Bush, Sr.s answers came straight out of his usual canned speech. Almost every one of the

analysts had heard it before. In case that was not the case, I had played it on the CIAs

internal TV at lunchtime in the cafeteria the day before. That helped wise up the analysts

who was on the Committee to cook the intelligence and how they were doing it byrestricting the inputs to the analysts.

\

What Tenet Said about Why He and Bush, Sr. Took the Millions

I asked Tenet why he had lied to me and how he was going to justify that $100 million, if

the taxpayer found out about Bush, Sr. being paid for speeches he never gave. It was atricky question, because Tenet also was getting paid for speeches he never made. I knew

that for a fact because occasionally I was with him all day and long into the night in a crisis

or even at social functions. He had first declined to comment. That afternoon he met with

lawyers for the CIA and discussed it. The next day I pressed him to put an end to those

payments. He looked uncomfortable and said, I cant. I asked him why not. He said,

Political realities on the ground here at the CIA, just like for you on the ground in Iraq.

He seemed to be referring to an incident about 10 days before in which bullets had rushed

past my head. I asked him if he needed a change of bodyguards. He frowned and said that

he had tried that and it hadnt held. I offered to try to make a change in them that would

stick. He said he would think about it.

14


15/22

He was DCI, but David Rockefeller was picking his bodyguards, not him. That meant, that

he was unsure that they were guarding him entirely for the sake of protecting him. When he

had tried to change that system, he had run into major flak--a car bomb was found in his car,

a bomb threat was called into the CIA and left on his answering machine, and a death threat

to him was left on his wifes answering machine, if I remember correctly the details. There

were 3 threats to his life made. But they were made right before his new body guards were

to start, not afterwards. It was certainly not due to incompetence on their part. Since he

usually received less than 4 death threats a month, he took 3 in one day as a warning that

perhaps he was doing something Rockefeller did not like. I told him that he should buck that

control and have his own guards to really protect him. He did not take my advice.

The Cook the Intelligence Committees Stumbling Block--When in Doubt Kill

When I informally interviewed 2 of the Cook the Intelligence Committees members, I

had to be careful. I knew that they were the paid servants of Bush, Sr. and David

Rockefeller and getting paid a lot of money to stay that way. The first one was a man, the

minute taker of the meeting. He had accidently left his handwritten minutes of the week

before OUTSIDE of the CIA. He did not know where. He did know that they were ultra

sensitive on that particular day. No doubt it was his nervousness that caused him to losethem that particular day.

15


16/22

In his notes he had written down the code name and

the real number of the mobile phone of an assassin.That assassin did not work at the CIA. That

increased the plausible deniability. I had, without

being asked, recovered those notes for him after

finding a day missing in the month of his notes he

had loaned me. So, I had a bit of credit with him.

That was really how I had stayed alive at the CIA,

by being so helpful in a field in which there was

little competition, remote viewing.

I did not ask him about the Committees work. I asked him how his work was going. I

listened and then offered to help him with a rush report he needed to finish. He accepted my

help and we spent about 5 hours together in his office. During that time, I had access to all

his files to look up the references his report needed. What I learned from that working

interview was that the committee had serious internal friction in it. Two people of about

the 8 were in grave danger of meeting with a fatal accident. Those two had been sent on

an assignment outside of the building on the day the name of the assassin was written down.

He was upset that he had been tasked to give their names and addresses and daily routines tothe assassin. He wanted my help to get out of his role in their killing. He did not much

object if they were killed, however. So, he was hoping to talk me into conveying the

information. I explained to him that it was morally as culpable to pass me the assignment as

to pass it to the assassin. He said, But I would feel better about it. I explained to him that

I dont let that kind of assignment pass through me, as it is against my principles. I offered

instead to write an op so that those wanting the two dead which change their minds. He said

to me, But you dont know who they are! I said, Let me guess, Bush, Jr. and David

Rockefeller. He acted surprised and asked me who I had heard it from. I said that I just

guessed. But he did not trust that I could change their minds. I asked him to give me 2 daysbefore he called the assassin. He agreed to that as he was loathe to call anyway and this

gave him a convenient excuse.

The committee was split over a particular issue. Only 2 members wanted to give Congress

some information that they wanted, and neither Bush nor Rockefeller wanted the

information given. All except those 2 agreed to cook the documents to provide

disinformation to Congress. Well, that is not quite accurate. They all wanted at least an

80% cooking of the documents. They disagreed on the last 20% of the cooking. That was

not due to ethical considerations perhaps as much as experience. They did not think that the

committee would get away with that last 20% because the committee had other documents

which revealed 15% of the problem. But the next defensible denial was at the 20% mark.

16


17/22

So, 2 people were about to die to cover up the 5% difference which the committee could

logically figure out on their own. I sent that Congressional Committee an article from a

declassified source. They figured out that 5% immediately instead of the next week. Thus,

there was no point to the assassination anymore. When I explained that to Bush, Jr. and

Rockefeller they told me to cancel the correction of the committees numbers, and the hit

was aborted.

The content that the Congressional Committee was looking into was not classified, they just

didnt have the information. Like the Cola Cocas formula is secret, but not classified

because it is of no National Security importance, this information was the same. Because

the information was being kept secret to enable corruption, it was important to expose it. I

would need to write it up as a case to do it justice. For now I will just mention it roughly

speaking. The committee wanted to know why it was unable to get the information it

needed from the CIA on a specific topic. But the reason it couldnt get that information was

the same as why it could not get 90% of the information it wanted from the CIA. The reason

for that was because the CIA was not working for the US public, and unwilling to expose

that. Yet it did expose that by not providing the information that they needed.

The Congress had asked the CIA for an itemization of its war expenditures so that they

could know the true cost of the war. That is, after all necessary in order to budget

appropriately. The CIA had given them the salary information for its staff. That was about

15% of the information,

NOT THE COST! The

article I sent them was on the

cost of the propagandacampaign. That was not a

secret because journalists

were being paid and they had

an interest in the topic. One

of them had already written

an excellent article on the

subject which was based on

fact, not fantasy. The cost of

the CIAs propaganda effortwas about $1.6 billions. It

was afterwards confirmed by

the GAO

18/22

See Bush, our dictator...? athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5CcvNYP2YY . Thatis, even if the

CIAs analysts

had written the

truth in their

reports, the USAdministration

was drowning it

out by feeding

propaganda

directly into the

media. They

did that by

having military,

foreign policyexperts, and

govt. officials

give their

propaganda as

if it was the

truth.

The NY Times exposed about 10% of that recently in its article Behind TV Analysts,

Pentagons Hidden Hand at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/washington/

The article TV News Blackout on Pentagon Pundits athttp://www.fair.org/index.php?

19/22

Two weeks after a New York Times story (4/20/08) revealed a Pentagon propaganda

campaign that had been feeding talking points to TV military analysts, many of whom also

had ties to military contractors, the cable and broadcast networks that employed these

analysts have almost entirely failed to report this crucial news story.

The media were complicit in preventing an adequate public debate on the topic, preferring

to allow the public to continuing being sent to war through ignorance. That means that the

heads of the major media corporations who did that are getting kickbacks on the war. What

precisely does that mean? It means the taxpayers money is being stolen from them at

gunpoint and the media is not trying to take the gun away but taking some of the muggers

money instead. The gun to the taxpayers head is the lie Pay for this war or the terrorists

will kill you and your family. Reagan said the Nicaraguans are coming. Hitler said the

Poles are coming. Bush, Jr. said that the Taliban was coming, and then the Iraqis. Please

watch The Power of Nightmares Parts 1 to 3 at http://freedocumentaries.org/film.php?

id=135 to see through that propaganda.

The amount of propaganda that the US public is being fed by the US Administration via the

CIA is enormous. Most people spend about 2 hours a day allowing themselves to be

brainwashed by those who have an interest in sending them to war and stealing their money.

Listening to only the major media and newsprint is dangerous to your sanity and your

longevity. You can end up believing all sorts of lies as if they were reality. (See Senate

Panel Rejects Case for War at http://www.truthout.org/article/senate-panel-rejects-case-

war).

Most of the news is designed to distract you from the truth. Suppose you knew that JFKhad been assassinated but had not been told anything else. You would immediately think,

Johnson did it to become President. Then you would watch to see if he had it investigated

to your satisfaction, openly, thoroughly, and transparently. When that did not happen, you

would say to yourself Not only did he have a motive, he is acting like he did it by

preventing an adequate investigation. Then you would say to yourself, Johnson did it until

proven otherwise. Without distractions, you would then ask yourself, Whose help would

he need to carry it off and cover it up? He needs likely needs the CIA or Mafia to carry it

off professionally. He needs the cooperation ofthe local police, the FBI, and the local

media and much of the major media to cover it up. Then instead of looking at the details,just evaluate whether each of those did their duty sincerely to uncover the truth and bring

you that truth. If they did not that means they or their boss were complicit in it. To fix a

problem you have to go to the top of the problem, not keep finding the fall guys. So, start at

the top each time and judge how thoroughly, sincerely, and transparently they acted to bring

the public the whole truth. If they acted correctly, go to the people below them, until you

find the highest person who did not act that way. Then you have your culprit. At the top of

the heap of power is not the President, it is the bankers who funded his campaign. If you

dont start at the top, you can change Presidents endlessly without ever correcting the

problem. FOLLOW THE MONEY!

The Chairperson of the Cook the Intelligence Committee and the Brick Wall

The other person from the

Committee who Iinterviewed was a

woman. She was the

Chairperson of that

committee. The setting in

which that interview

occurred was that I

knocked on her door and

asked if she had time to

answer a question. She

said yes and we spoke for

about 20 minutes. I

explained that I had

written reports on the lack

of supplies of the soldiers

and wanted to know if she

had gotten any of them.

She at first pleaded

ignorance and then to try

to get rid of me, admittedshe had already read

them. She pulled them

out of a file cabinet. They

had been written on and

underlined in places,

though by whom was not

proven. I asked her what

progress was being made

on getting the soldierswhat they needed. She said honestly and bluntly None. That does not mean that was her

fault. I asked her what seemed to be the difficulty and offered to help her solve it. I was

trying to solve the problem, not find fault. She paused for a moment and then said that she

was up against a brick wall. I asked, Tenet? She said, I think that the problem goes

above him and that is why nothing I say to him makes a difference. I told her that I had

had the same experience and thanked her for her time.

She was one of the 2 people on the hit list. She was already doing all that she could to pull

the Committee in a better direction. That was not easy.

Who Else Was Getting Kickbacks from the Cook the Intelligence Committee?

Then I queried the CIAs

creative accounting

computer to ask if it was

paying any Rockefellers forspeeches. That was another

eye opener. Each of the

Rockefeller cousins was

making speeches 5 times a

week at $1,000 a speech

in the 1990s.

Since there were about 20

of them that was $20,000 a

day.

They had been paid that

since the same day that

Bush, Sr. started getting the

$40,000 a day in 1995.

They had been bumped up

to being paid about $1,500

a speech when Bush, Jr.

took office. So, roughlythey had been paid total a

fourth of what Bush, Sr.

had been, $25 million. The

actual figure was closer to

$20 million, if I remember

correctly.

I then looked for the data entry forms. Each one was being paid on the same form as Tenet

for the Cook the Intell committee as if they were speakers to that committee like Tenet.

They were not even allowed into the CIA building. I checked and could find only one ofthem who had been a guest for a one day pass.

I then called up about 5 of them and asked them if they were willing to come to the CIA to

give a talk to CIA analysts on a pertinent topic. Two of them agreed and I scheduled an

auditorium that seated about 250 people for them at a time convenient to them. One said

that he never gave talks and declined. The other two said that they would think about it and

never got back to me. I was curious what the other 2 would have to say that would be so

useful to the CIA as to justify the cost of even one payment of $1,500. One of them gave an

excellent talk which the surveyed analysts said was worth that cost. The other, a housewife,had nothing of intelligence utility to say; she had no good stories about David Rockefeller

that could be used for blackmail purposes! The analysts were quickly bored and most

walked out within 10 minutes. Many of them asked me why in the world I had invited her

to speak. I told them truthfully that the CIA had already paid her about a million for her

speeches and I was trying to get them to stop doing that.

Tenet heard what I had done and asked me to give an accounting of it. I showed him

segments of her video speech made into a fake Fox news report which ended with, Why

did the CIA pay this woman $1 million to talk? I suggested to Tenet that if he had to go on

paying them they should at least be given speech lessons and sent on speaking tours to

recruit CIA agents or do fund raising for the CIA. I even offered tongue-in-cheek to train

them to be spies to send into Russia so that the US taxpayer could get something from

paying them each $1,500 a day. But, Tenet neither crossed them off the books nor made

them work for the pay.

Later, I reviewed the call between Tenet and David Rockefeller in which Tenet told

Rockefeller that I was putting the heat on him to take the cousins off the CIAs books. I

had not threatened Tenet with anything. I had pointed out the predictable blow back when

the US public found out. Rockefeller liked the idea of putting the cousins to work for the

CIA, but said that some of them already had jobs. He also like the idea of the CIA giving

them speech lessons. But nothing came of my suggestions. The costs to provide them with

the full contingent of body guards that David Rockefeller demanded that they would have to

have would have cost much more than $1,500 a day. The body guard package he wanted for

each was more than that for Tenet as DCI.
