The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a civilian intelligence agency of the United States government. It is an executive agency and reports directly to the Director of National Intelligence, responsible for providing national security intelligence assessment to senior United States policymakers through means of covert psychological, cyber, and social warfare using non-military commissioned civilian Intelligence Agents to carry out these intelligence-gathering operations; many of whom are trained to avoid tactical situations. The CIA also oversees and sometimes engages in tactical and covert activities at the request of the President of the United States.[9]. Often, when such field operations are organized, the US military or other warfare tacticians carry these tactical operations out on behalf of the agency while the CIA oversees them. Although intelligence-gathering is the agency's main agenda, tactical divisions were established in the agency to carry out emergency field operations that require immediate suppression or dismantlement of a threat or weapon. The CIA is often used for intelligence-gathering instead of the U.S military to avoid a declaration of war.It is the successor of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) formed during World War II to coordinate espionage activities against the Axis Powers for the branches of the United States Armed Forces. The National Security Act of 1947 established the CIA, affording it "no police or law enforcement functions, either at home or abroad".[10][11] Through interagency cooperation, the CIA has Cooperative Security Locations at its disposal. These locations are called "lily pads" by the Air Force.[12][13]The primary function of the CIA is to collect information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals, and to advise public policymakers, but it does conduct emergency tactical operations, covert operations [14][15], and exerts foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as the elite Special Activities Division.[16][17] The CIA and its responsibilities changed markedly in 2004. Before December 2004, the CIA was the main intelligence organization of the US government; it was responsible for coordinating the activities of the US Intelligence Community (IC) as a whole. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 created the office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), which took over management and leadership of the IC

O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services:)by Bruce Patrick Brychek » Tue Mar 21, 2006 5:53 pm O.S.S., (Office of Strategic Services), The Secret History Of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, 1972, 2005, by Richard Harris Smith.Originally published in 1972 by Berkeley, University of California Press. Later, 2005 by The First Lyons Press, an inprint of The Globe Pequor Press. Richard Harris Smith began writing this history of the O.S.S. after resigning from the C.I.A. in 1968. FDR, the Nazi's, Pearl Harbor, World War II, and all related issues. This was the backdrop to the "necessary creation" of a Secret Intelligence Unit for the U.S. Government. This is footing, and foundation "must read" for the serious Researcher-Investigator-Writer looking to understand the C.I.A., then Viet Nam, then the JFK Assassination, and everything that has flown since then. This will help answer some questions. But for me, it also helped raise many more. Good sources, good documentation and research. Responses both Pro, and Con with an Academic Approach are welcomed. Respectfully, Bruce Patrick Brychek.

Office of Strange Bedfellowsby Phil Dragoo » Thu Dec 10, 2009 4:09 am BruceEarlier we saw many of the players arising out of this black hole: Helms, Hunt, Angleton, Lansdale.Robert L. Wilcox in his Target: Patton cites Weinstein and Vassiliev's Haunted Wood who used the Venona Decrypts declassified in 1995 to show heavy penetration by NKVD.Anthony Frank insists upon extensive KGB infiltration.One reads the saga of Aldrich Ames with jaw-dropping realization that much may yet be undisclosed.Certainly Porter Goss (CIA veteran and short-term DCI) lost his chief of staff under strange circumstances.John Millis had called DCI John Deutch "the worst DCI for counterintelligence". It will be remembered Deutch compromised 17,000 files, routinely walked out with disks in his pockets, used his unsecured home computer. Millis sucked a shotgun in a bathtub of the Breezeway Motel in Alexandria.A friend posited the death of one of the coauthors of The Venona Secrets (Eric Breindel, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's intelligence staffer) who died while undergoing liver treatments of a massive hemorrhage (at 42) was on a KGB hit list.On the phone with the late Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media talking of KAL 007 I asked about Breindel. "Nothing untoward. No, I don't believe so."But then my friend also had believed George H.W. Bush took an SR-71 Blackbird ride to arrange for the Embassy hostages to be held until noon-thirty January 20, 1981.We know Ruth Paine was linked to Angleton, that Angleton had a 201 on Oswald (per John Newman and John Armstrong).And I'll tell you a funny one.John Brennan former head of National Counter Terrorism Center, donated $2,000 to Obama's campaign January 28, 2008. Brennan's The Analysis Corp. unlawfully accessed Obama's passport file. Obama offered his first DCI nomination to Brennan. Brennan was forced to withdraw, but remains a top intelligent advisor to Obama.The scandal cost the life of Lt. Harris. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/200 ... ally-shot/Past is prologue.

Prouty, Bamford, beyondby Phil Dragoo » Fri Dec 11, 2009 8:45 pm I read the Prouty articles. Gore Vidal liked Hunt for the Diem cables in the former's 1973 The Art and Arts of Howard Hunt.I've seen Cabot Lodge as a major instigator of the Diem downfall and murder.I read James Bamford's Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency and found it necessary to cut it into four pieces for handling (800 pages).I see Hayden was moved from NSA to CIA as DCI between Goss and Panetta point man on the Long Beach COSCO deal. Just as Berger was point man for China at Hogan & Hartson. NSA now to build million-square-foot operation in Utah. Nothing to see here.Enemy of the State 1998 Gene Hackman Will Smith Jon Voight a dramatic interpretation of the links from this thread alluding to CIA acquisition of sheep-dip credentials.Secret Service on the Grassy Knoll, elsewhere as needed.James Files mentions the man next to him who flashed credentials to stop the patrolman's further advance.Richard Gilbride's The Elevator Escape Theory placing CIA veteran William Shelley as the TSBD's distribution manager assisting in the escape of two riflemen. http://reopenkennedycase.weebly.com/gilbride.html

CLASSIFIED vs. TOP SECRET ?!?by Bruce Patrick Brychek » Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:51 pm Dear Messrs. Wim Dankbaar, Bob, Tom Jeffers, and Fellow JFK Forum Members:CLASSIFIED vs. TOP SECRET ?!?Classified - bearing the designation classified; available only to authorized persons.Top Secret - bearing the classification top-secret, the highest level of classified information; limited to persons authorized to use anything so classified.We hear and read about these terms every day without really paying much attention. For example, in the last few days an American with classified or top secret clearance was arrested in a sting operation, thinking he was selling top secret information to an Israelli Mossad Agent. The agent in question was actually an undercover U.S. Federal Agent.While discussing this with some friends, I revived a question that keeps popping into my head. Who determines what is classified, or top secret ? And who determines who receives this information ?Going one step further, I was advised by a few sources that there are 20 - 30 Top Secret Levels of information above the President of the United States of America. Presently, that of course is President Barack Obama.Further, I do recall a recording of an interview that I had seen over thirty (30) years ago with then newly elected President John F. Kennedy. When asked how he felt about becomming the President, he jokingly said that he wanted to find out all about Roswell, Area 51, and everything on the aliens. JFK then very seriously said that he found out to his dismay that he did not have high enough clearance.My whole purpose of this diatribe is to focus on a few questions.We are always talking here on the JFK Forum about the CIA, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the House, the Senate, the President and His Cabinet, the Ruling Powers, the Masons, the Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, the Illuninati, the Military Industrial Complex, the Main Stream Media, the New World Order, etc.Can we track Classified and Top Secret ? Can we determine who gets what information, from whom, when, where, how, and why ?This will not be an easy task. This will entail, I believe on going research and investigation. But in my opinion The JFK Forum Search Engine might be up to the task.Then we can more narrowly focus on who received Classified and Top Secret Material on the Assassination of JFK, i.e., Operation Zipper. Certainly these files exist on JFK, MLK, RFK, and others.Then, could we extrapolate who actually runs the United States of America ?I welcome your thoughts. (Bob, do you follow my thinking and analysis ?)Best Regards,Respectfuly,Bruce Patrick Brychek.

LBJ calling his tax lawyer on day of JFK Assassinationby Robert Morrow » Thu Sep 09, 2010 3:42 am On the day that JFK was assassinated, the White House was not on a high level national security alert. And that is because Lyndon Johnson, elements of the CIA, elements of the military knew the assassination was coming and it was not the Russians or Cubans who did it. It was them. Lyndon Johnson, however, did find time to make a call from Parkland Hospital to his tax attorney to sell his Halliburton stock. Btw, Halliburton stock RALLIED over the next 2 days following JFK's assassination. Lyndon Johnson calling his tax lawyer to sell his Halliburton stock on the dayof JFK’s assassination; LBJ makes call from Parkland Hospital; JFK’s body was still warm at this point -[From Family of Secrets by Russ Baker, p. 132]"Pat Holloway, former attorney to both Poppy Bush and Jack Crichton, recounted to me an incident involving LBJ that had greatly disturbed him. This was around 1PM on November 22, 1963, just as Kennedy was being pronounced dead. Holloway was heading home from the office and was passing through the reception area. The switchboard operator excitedly noted that she was patching the vice president through from Parkland Hospital to Holloway’s boss, firm senior partner Waddy Bullion, who was LBJ’s personal tax lawyer. The operator invited Holloway to listen in. LBJ was talking “not about a conspiracy or a tragedy,” Holloway recalled. “I heard him say: ‘Oh I gotta get rid of my goddamn Halliburton stock.’ Lyndon Johnson was talking about the consequences of his political problems with his Halliburton stock at a time when the president had been officially declared dead. And that pissed me off… It really made me furious.” There are many other examples of LBJ’s apparent unconcern after the assassination, though none so immediate. For instance, on the evening of November 25, LBJ and Martin Luther King talked, and LBJ said, “It’s just an impossible period – we’ve got a budget coming up.” That morning he told Joseph Alsop that “the President must not inject himself into, uh, local killings,” to which Alsop immediately replied, “I agree with that, but in this case it does happen to be the killing of the President.” Also, on the same day LBJ told Hoover, “We can’t be checking up on every shooting scrape in the country.”Last edited by Robert Morrow on Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:10 pm, edited 1 time in total.

OPERATION ZIPPER:Knowing the truth about the Kennedy Assassination is understanding America today.Moderators: kenmurray, Bob, dankbaar, Dealey Joe Post a reply 189 posts • Page 1 of 13 • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 13 Edit postDelete postReport this postInformationReply with quoteOPERATION ZIPPER:by Bruce Patrick Brychek » Fri Oct 16, 2009 4:44 pm Dear Messrs. Wim Dankbaar, Bob, Tom Jeffers, and Fellow JFK Forum Members:OPERATION ZIPPER was/is the CIA'S Code Named File for the planning of the assassination and the cover-up in the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The National Archives is/wasscheduled to release this information in the year 2012, unless it is further delayed. Time willtell !?!The assassination/coup de' tat and on-going cover-up was/is successful, as no criminal case and prosecution of anyone involved was ever brought to court, and certainly not to justice. EXCEPT the lone, sustained, brilliant, constitutional, patriotic effort by New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison, and his brave staff and family, all of whom endured, but suffered greatly to reveal the truth in their own time.Most people in the United States of America, and the rest of the world, would be totally unaware of D.A. Garrison and his efforts, were it not for the aggressive, brave, visionary movie producer, Oliver Stone. Stone and his incitful, and at the time cutting-edge, controversial movie, JFK, featured world renowned actor, Kevin Costner in the lead role as New Orlean's D.A. Jim Garrison. Jim Garrison himself appears in the movie as Chief Justice Earl Warren of the U.S. Supreme Court, then leading the infamous Warren Commission.In my opinion, the JFK Forum, with the synergy of its multi-talented, multi-national and international members, is the greatest non-governmental Search Engine for the truth in the JFK Assassination in the world today. Pick up with Wim Dankbaar and The JFK Forum where Garrison paved the original way.Continued admiration, credit, and respect for my highly trusted friend, Wim Dankbaar.That said, I am offering and suggesting to those sincere, serious minded JFK Forum Researchers something deep, powerful, and mind boggling.OPERATION ZIPPER:JFK Forum Members, do what you do best. Research everywhere, everything, and everybody. Leave no stone unturned.Remain vigilant. Keep an open mind.This is The Holy Grail of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and the on-going cover-up. What else this is connected to will further blow your mind. Trust me.Best Regards To All.Respectfully,Bruce Patrick Brychek.
