CIA Operative Theodore Shackley Dies

Friday December 13, 2002 7:20 PM
BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -
 
He retired from the CIA in 1979 and set up a Washington-area consulting firm that offered security strategy to corporate executives.
 
 
"Congressional investigations into CIA abuses, starting in 1974 and
continuing through 1977" [coverup won in 1977...which comes before 1979?!]
"January 1976 until January 1977 under DCI George H. W. Bush"
 
"Thus in mid-1976, at the direction of DCI Bush and ADDO Shackley, the secret government's counter-terror apparatus, manifest as a private enterprise owned and operated by "Death Merchant" Wilson and his unsavory associates (including Shackley himself, CIA officer Tom Clines, Hussem Salem, and perhaps, as a silent partner, Air Force General Richard Secord, in EATSCO--the Egyptian American Transport and Services Company), began its slow and steady descent off the CIA's organizational chart."
 
"[stansfield] Turner drastically reduced the SOD in size, firing 600
employees in what became known as the Halloween Massacre of
October 1977" [throw br'er rabbit into Shackley's privatization briar patch]
 
 
During the period (1965 )1975) CIA Chief in Laos, Theodore Shackley was in the
drug business, having contacts with the Opium Warlord Lor Sing Han and his
followers.  Santo Trafficante acted as his buying and transporting agent while
Richard Armitage handled the financial section with the Banks in Australia. 
Even after the Vietnam War ended, when Richard Armitage was being posted to
the US Embassy in Thailand, his dealings in the drug business continued as
before.  He was then acting as the US government official concerning with the
drugs problems in South East Asia.  After 1979, Richard Armitage resigned from
the US Embassy's posting and set up the "Far East Trading Company" as a front
for his continuation in the drug trade and to bribe CIA agents in Laos and
around the world.  Soon After, Daniel Arnold was made to handle the drug
business as well as the transportation of arms sales.  Jerry Daniels then took
over the drug trade from Richard Armitage.  For over 10 years, Armitage
supported his men in Laos and Thailand with the profits from his drug trade
and most of the cash were deposited with the banks in Australia which was to
be used in buying his way for quicker promotions to higher positions.
 
Theodore Shackley and Thomas Clines financed a highly
intensified phase of the Phoenix project, in 1974 and 1975, by causing an
intense flow of Vang Pao opium money to be secretly brought into Vietnam for
this purpose.  This Vang Pao opium money was administered for Theodore
Shackley and Thomas Clines by a US Navy official based in Saigon's US office
of Naval Operations by the name of Richard Armitage.  However, because
Theodore Shackley, Thomas Clines and Richard Armitage knew that their secret
anti)communist extermination program was going to be shut down in Vietnam,
Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand in the very near future, they, in 1973, began a
highly secret non)CIA authorized program Thus, from late 1973 until April of
1975, Theodore Shackley, Thomas Clines and Richard Armitage disbursed, from
the secret, Laotian)based, Vang Pao opium fund, vastly more money than was
required to finance even the highly intensified Phoenix Project in Vietnam. 
The money in excess of that used in Vietnam was secretly smuggled out of
Vietnam in large suitcases, by Richard Secord and Thomas Clines )) and carried
into Australia, where it was deposited in a secret, personal bank account
(privately accessible to Theodore Shackley, Thomas Clines and Richard Secord). 
 
In late 1975 and early 1976,
Theodore Shackley and Thomas Clines retained Edwin Wilson to travel to Tehran,
Iran to head up the "Secret Team" covert "anti)terrorist" assassination
program in Iran.  This was not a U.S.  government)authorized operation.  This
was a private operations supervised, directed and participated in by Shackley,
Clines, Secord and Armitage in their purely private capacities.
 
One of the officers in the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, one Abranowitz came to
know of Armitage's involvement in the secret handling of Vang Pao opium funds
and caused to be initiated an internal State Department heroin smuggling
investigations directed against Richard Armitage.  Armitage was the target of
Embassy personnel complaints to the effect that he was utterly failing to
perform his duties on behalf of American MIAs, and he reluctantly resigned as
the D.O.D. Special Consultant on MIA's at the end of 1977.

From 1977 until 1979, Armitage remained in Bangkok opening and operating a
business named The Far East Trading Company.  This company had offices only in
Bangkok and in Washington, D.C.  This company was, in fact, from 1977 to 1979,
merely a "front" for Armitage's secret operations conducting Vang Pao opium
money out of Southeast Asia to Tehran and the Nugen)Hand Bank in Australia to
fund the ultra right)wing, private anti)communist "anti)terrorist"
assassination program and "unconventional warfare" operation of Theodore
Shackley's and Thomas Cline's "Secret Team".
 
Between 1976 and 1979, Shackley, Clines, Secord, Hakim, Wilson, and Armitage
set up several corporations and subsidiaries around the world through which to
conceal the operations of the "Secret Team".  Many of these corporations were
set up in Switzerland.  Some of these were: (1) Lake Resources, Inc.; (2) The
Stanford Technology Trading Group, Inc.; and (3) Companie de Services
Fiduciaria.  Other companies were set up in Central America, such as: (4) CSF,
Investments, Ltd. and (5) Udall research Corporation.  Some were set up inside
the United States by Edwin Wilson.  Some of these were: (6) Orca Supply
Company in Florida and (7) Consultants International in Washington, D.C.. 
Through these corporations, members of Theodore Shackley's "Secret Team"
laundered hundreds of millions of dollars of secret Vang Pao opium money
pilfered Foreign Military Sales proceeds between 1976 and 1979.
 
 
"Shackley and Clines resigned under a cloud in 1979 after they were implicated in an unofficial[Ed Wilson and Frank Terpil] Libyan arms deal. They immediately surfaced in the pre-election October Surprise circles and were back in business off the shelfùduring the 1980s"
 
 
[ZR RIFLE - Ed Lansdale and Ted Shackley assassinated JFK]
 
ZR/RIFLE existed under the umbrella of Operation Mongoose, which was run in Miami by then-CIA station chief Theodore Shackley 1962-1965. It was Mongoose which spawned such espionage classics as the exploding cigar, and the foot-powder that would cause Castro's beard to fall out and make his voice high-pitched. It also kept several trained Shooter Team. (c.f. Rodriguez, Shadow Warrior.) [22] Another veteran of the CIA shooter teams was Frank Fiorini, better known as Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis.

....the Ted Shackley article you[Kris, but it was Bodhiman who posted
Shackley's obit&eulogy] posted was useful in pointing out how relatively smalltime
in the big picture the CIA is.  Even CIA directors are little more than constabularies
and police officials.  They don't really run the show.
 
International networks of multibillionaires run the big show, as quietly and covertly as possible, using intelligence agencies around the world as one tool among many.
 
B> I don't think you believe that Shackley's eulogies contain
anything beyond superficial cover info, so I'll pass up an
easy target. What they do highlight is that when CIA privatized
covert ops under Shackley in 1976, the description the eulogies
give of his cover org declare openly that CIA and its covert ops
work under corporate executives and think tankers, albeit not
to protect them, per se. Shackley's corporate security org was
a privatization of the fascist modus operandi. He wasn't body-
guarding human bodies, but rather bodyguarding the
corporations and the rest of the fascist oligarchy as abstracted
from corporate security. "Corporate security", so to speak, which
is what he was doing at CIA, which he hadn't left at all.
 
"consulting firm that offered security strategy to corporate executives"
 
GHWBush played a role in the coverup as DCI while that privatization
swept everything under the rug.
 
"Congressional investigations into CIA abuses, starting in 1974 and
continuing through 1977" [coverup won in 1977...which comes before 1979?!]
"January 1976 until January 1977 under DCI George H. W. Bush"
