The CIA, the Military & Drugs- a dot connecting resource

Updated at bottom The info contained at the site below relates to, or can help fill in, so many blanks I couldn't even begin to address when I put up the post: Phillip Seymour Hoffman & the Military /Terror/Drug & Banking ComplexAs Capote You might wish to hang on to this site, book mark it, as a resource. With one caveat- Mr Emory appears to have a blind spot when it comes to the influence and involvement of Israel in the global geopolitical situation.Take that into consideration if and when you look at any of the other info at Mr Emory's site. His bias does not negate the talks or the two books, authored by others, linked in the comments section. Because, we should never throw the baby out with the bathwater....  There is hours and hours of listening. I have gotten through the Part 1 entirely, myself

AFA 24–28: The CIA, the Military & Drugs

AFA 24: The CIA, the Mil­i­tary & Drugs, Pt. 1Part 1a 44:30 | Part 1b 44:48 | Part 1c 44:36 | Part 1d 44:51 | Part 1e 28:21(Recorded on Octo­ber 16, 1986)The first of five AFA shows deal­ing with the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity and the nar­cotics trade, this broad­cast sets forth much of the his­tory of this rela­tion­ship. In par­tic­u­lar, the pro­gram focuses on the role of pro­fes­sional, post World War II anti-communists in the growth of the heroin business.Begin­ning with the Bayer company’s devel­op­ment of heroin as a cough-depressant and cure for mor­phine addic­tion, the pro­gram sets forth the same firm’s inven­tion of methadone, now used to treat heroin addic­tion. Part of the I.G. Far­ben chem­i­cal firm that served as the back­bone of Third Reich indus­trial pro­duc­tion, Bayer (the devel­oper of aspirin) devel­oped methadone as a syn­thetic opi­ate for treat­ing casu­al­ties prior to World War II. It was orig­i­nally called Dolophine, in honor of Adolph Hitler!the book mentioned in this series of talksAFA 25: The CIA, the Mil­i­tary & Drugs, Pt. 2Part 2a 44:34 | Part 2b 44:28 | Part 2c 44:15 | Part 2d 44:29 | Part 2e 18:30(Recorded Decem­ber 3, 1986)This pro­gram focuses on the rela­tion­ship between the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity and the arms-for-drugs trade. Rel­a­tively well pub­li­cized after the Iran-Contra scan­dal came to light, this rela­tion­ship has existed for some time. The broad­cast begins with dis­cus­sion of the Nugan Hand Bank, a com­bined CIA and Naval Intel­li­gence oper­a­tion super­vised under the juris­dic­tion of Task Force 157, and ONI sub­sidiary run by Edwin Wil­son (see AFA-4.) Deeply involved in the South­east Asian drug traf­fic, the Bank also served as a fund­ing source for covert oper­a­tions, includ­ing the desta­bi­liza­tion of the Aus­tralian Labor Party gov­ern­ment of Gough Whit­lam. The bank’s key offi­cials con­sisted largely of for­mer high-ranking U.S. mil­i­tary and intel­li­gence officials...................AFA 26: The CIA, the Mil­i­tary & Drugs, Pt. 3The Great Heroin CoupPart 3a 45:18 | Part 3b 39:57 | Part 3c 40:04 | Part 3d 30:04(Recorded Jan­u­ary 27, 1987)This pro­gram focuses on the coop­er­a­tive role of ele­ments of the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity and the U.S. nar­cotics enforce­ment appa­ra­tus in reg­u­lat­ing, not inter­dict­ing, the ille­gal trade in nar­cotics. The title refers to Dan­ish jour­nal­ist Hen­rik Kruger’s appel­la­tion for an appar­ent gam­bit, through which the Nixon admin­is­tra­tion, ele­ments of the CIA and ele­ments of U.S. law enforce­ment dimin­ished the role of Cor­si­can gang­sters in the inter­na­tional heroin trade. This strat­a­gem strength­ened the role of Amer­i­can gang­sters in the heroin traf­fic. Those gang­sters were, not coin­ci­den­tally, con­nected to both the Nixon admin­is­tra­tion and the CIA.............AFA 27: The CIA, the Mil­i­tary & Drugs, Pt. 4Part 4a 46:08 | Part 4b 38:11 | Part 4c 41:16 | Part 4d 46:42 | Part 4e 36:20(Recorded March 15, 1987)Devel­op­ing a line of inquiry pre­sented in the pre­ced­ing broad­cast, this pro­gram focuses on narco-terrorism in Latin Amer­ica. Par­tic­u­lar empha­sis is on intelligence-related ele­ments that fig­ured in the Iran-Contra scan­dal, anti-Castro Cubans in par­tic­u­lar. Much of the dis­cus­sion cen­ters on activ­i­ties that took place when George Bush was in charge of the CIA.After review­ing the Latin Amer­i­can nar­cotics net­work of Cor­si­can gang­ster and Third Reich col­lab­o­ra­tor Auguste Ricord, the broad­cast focuses on the role of Ricord asso­ciate Klaus Bar­bie in the 1980 “Cocaine Coup” in Bolivia. The Gestapo chief of Lyons (France) dur­ing the war, Bar­bie found post-war employ­ment with Amer­i­can intel­li­gence, first with the Army’s Counter Intel­li­gence Corps, and later with the CIA.......AFA 28: The CIA, the Mil­i­tary & Drugs, Pt. 5The CIA & LSDPart 5a 46:15 | Part 5b 45:52 | Part 5c 42:56 | Part 5d 45:11 | Part 5e 11:25(Recorded April 26, 1987)Begin­ning with the CIA’s research into LSD as part of its inves­ti­ga­tion of mind con­trol tech­niques, this broad­cast high­lights the pro­found role of the intel­li­gence com­mu­nity in the dis­sem­i­na­tion of hal­lu­cino­gens and the devel­op­ment of the recre­ational cul­ture attached to their use.The CIA and mil­i­tary exper­i­mented with the drug (LSD) in a vari­ety of clin­i­cal and social envi­ron­ments. In addi­tion to pro­duc­ing psy­chotic and (in some cases) lethal results, this exper­i­men­ta­tion also served to infil­trate the drug into intel­lec­tual and pop­u­lar cul­ture. Writ­ers Aldous Hux­ley, Ken Kesey and Allen Gins­berg were intro­duced to the drug (directly or indi­rectly) through the national secu­rity establishment’s LSD exper­i­men­ta­tion programs.Tim­o­thy Leary’s early research into LSD was sub­si­dized, to some extent, by the CIA. Later, Leary’s LSD pros­e­ly­ti­za­tion was greatly aided by William Mel­lon Hitch­cock, a mem­ber of the pow­er­ful Mel­lon fam­ily. The financ­ing of the Mellon-Leary col­lab­o­ra­tion was effected through the Cas­tle Bank, a Caribbean oper­a­tion that was deeply involved in the laun­der­ing of CIA drug money...........Two books discussed and related to the approximately 11 hours of audio-ht  karin- Alfred W.
