WOOLWICH: ADEBOLAJO WAS PAID BY MI6

Sunday, June 02, 2013



Jeremiah, younger brother of the Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo. 

The Daily Mail has discovered that:

Michael Adebolajo's younger brother Jeremiah 'was paid thousands by MI6 to spy in the Middle East'

Jeremiah Adebolajo, 26, teaches at a university in Saudi Arabia.

Reportedly, MI6 recruited him as a spy.

He was flown business class to five-star hotels and handed cash.

The source for the Mail is the Adebolajo family and a well-placed person who contacted The Mail on Sunday.

Jeremiah Adebolajo returned to Britain 'this week'.

Jeremiah's sister, Blessing Adebolajo, 32, says Jeremiah was approached by MI6 while he was working at the University of Ha’il.

A friend of Jeremiah said: "They told Jeremiah to go to certain hotels, order a cup of tea and wait for his contact.

"On these occasions he was handed £300, and was paid to fly first-class and stay in five-star hotels."

Blessing says MI6 bought a ticket so Jeremiah could fly to an Intercontinental hotel in another Middle East country (believed to be the United Arab Emirates) and that he was given local currency worth more than £1,000.

            How the CIA created Osama bin Laden

Throughout the world ... its agents, client states and satellites are on the defensive — on the moral defensive, the intellectual defensive, and the political and economic defensive. Freedom movements arise and assert themselves. They're doing so on almost every continent populated by man — in the hills of Afghanistan, in Angola, in Kampuchea, in Central America ... [They are] freedom fighters."
Is this a call to jihad (holy war) taken from one of Islamic fundamentalist Osama bin Laden's notorious fatwas? Or perhaps a communique issued by the repressive Taliban regime in Kabul?
In fact, this glowing praise of the murderous exploits of today's supporters of arch-terrorist bin Laden and his Taliban collaborators, and their holy war against the "evil empire", was issued by US President Ronald Reagan on March 8, 1985. The "evil empire" was the Soviet Union, as well as Third World movements fighting US-backed colonialism, apartheid and dictatorship.
How things change. In the aftermath of a series of terrorist atrocities — the most despicable being the mass murder of more than 6000 working people in New York and Washington on September 11 — bin Laden the "freedom fighter" is now lambasted by US leaders and the Western mass media as a "terrorist mastermind" and an "evil-doer".
Yet the US government refuses to admit its central role in creating the vicious movement that spawned bin Laden, the Taliban and Islamic fundamentalist terrorists that plague Algeria and Egypt — and perhaps the disaster that befell New York.
The mass media has also downplayed the origins of bin Laden and his toxic brand of Islamic fundamentalism.

Mujaheddin

In April 1978, the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) seized power in Afghanistan in reaction to a crackdown against the party by that country's repressive government.
The PDPA was committed to a radical land reform that favoured the peasants, trade union rights, an expansion of education and social services, equality for women and the separation of church and state. The PDPA also supported strengthening Afghanistan's relationship with the Soviet Union.
Such policies enraged the wealthy semi-feudal landlords, the Muslim religious establishment (many mullahs were also big landlords) and the tribal chiefs. They immediately began organising resistance to the government's progressive policies, under the guise of defending Islam.
Washington, fearing the spread of Soviet influence (and worse the new government's radical example) to its allies in Pakistan, Iran and the Gulf states, immediately offered support to the Afghan mujaheddin, as the "contra" force was known.
Following an internal PDPA power struggle in December 1979 which toppled Afghanistan's leader, thousands of Soviet troops entered the country to prevent the new government's fall. This only galvanised the disparate fundamentalist factions. Their reactionary jihad now gained legitimacy as a "national liberation" struggle in the eyes of many Afghans.
The Soviet Union was eventually to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1989 and the mujaheddin captured the capital, Kabul, in 1992.
Between 1978 and 1992, the US government poured at least US$6 billion (some estimates range as high as $20 billion) worth of arms, training and funds to prop up the mujaheddin factions. Other Western governments, as well as oil-rich Saudi Arabia, kicked in as much again. Wealthy Arab fanatics, like Osama bin Laden, provided millions more.
Washington's policy in Afghanistan was shaped by US President Jimmy Carter's national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and was continued by his successors. His plan went far beyond simply forcing Soviet troops to withdraw; rather it aimed to foster an international movement to spread Islamic fanaticism into the Muslim Central Asian Soviet republics to destabilise the Soviet Union.
Brzezinski's grand plan coincided with Pakistan military dictator General Zia ul-Haq's own ambitions to dominate the region. US-run Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe beamed Islamic fundamentalist tirades across Central Asia (while paradoxically denouncing the "Islamic revolution" that toppled the pro-US Shah of Iran in 1979).

Washington's favoured mujaheddin faction was one of the most extreme, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The West's distaste for terrorism did not apply to this unsavoury "freedom fighter". Hekmatyar was notorious in the 1970s for throwing acid in the faces of women who refused to wear the veil.
After the mujaheddin took Kabul in 1992, Hekmatyar's forces rained US-supplied missiles and rockets on that city — killing at least 2000 civilians — until the new government agreed to give him the post of prime minister. Osama bin Laden was a close associate of Hekmatyar and his faction.
Hekmatyar was also infamous for his side trade in the cultivation and trafficking in opium. Backing of the mujaheddin from the CIA coincided with a boom in the drug business. Within two years, the Afghanistan-Pakistan border was the world's single largest source of heroin, supplying 60% of US drug users.
In 1995, the former director of the CIA's operation in Afghanistan was unrepentant about the explosion in the flow of drugs: "Our main mission was to do as much damage as possible to the Soviets... There was a fallout in terms of drugs, yes. But the main objective was accomplished. The Soviets left Afghanistan."

Made in the USA

According to Ahmed Rashid, a correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, in 1986 CIA chief William Casey committed CIA support to a long-standing ISI proposal to recruit from around the world to join the Afghan jihad. At least 100,000 Islamic militants flocked to Pakistan between 1982 and 1992 (some 60,000 attended fundamentalist schools in Pakistan without necessarily taking part in the fighting).
John Cooley, a former journalist with the US ABC television network and author of Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism, has revealed that Muslims recruited in the US for the mujaheddin were sent to Camp Peary, the CIA's spy training camp in Virginia, where young Afghans, Arabs from Egypt and Jordan, and even some African-American "black Muslims" were taught "sabotage skills".
The November 1, 1998, British Independent reported that one of those charged with the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Ali Mohammed, had trained "bin Laden's operatives" in 1989.
These "operatives" were recruited at the al Kifah Refugee Centre in Brooklyn, New York, given paramilitary training in the New York area and then sent to Afghanistan with US assistance to join Hekmatyar's forces. Mohammed was a member of the US army's elite Green Berets.
The program, reported the Independent, was part of a Washington-approved plan called "Operation Cyclone".
In Pakistan, recruits, money and equipment were distributed to the mujaheddin factions by an organisation known as Maktab al Khidamar (Office of Services — MAK).
MAK was a front for Pakistan's CIA, the Inter-Service Intelligence Directorate. The ISI was the first recipient of the vast bulk of CIA and Saudi Arabian covert assistance for the Afghan contras. Bin Laden was one of three people who ran MAK. In 1989, he took overall charge of MAK.
Among those trained by Mohammed were El Sayyid Nosair, who was jailed in 1995 for killing Israeli rightist Rabbi Meir Kahane and plotting with others to bomb New York landmarks, including the World Trade Center in 1993.
The Independent also suggested that Shiekh Omar Abdel-Rahman, an Egyptian religious leader also jailed for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, was also part of Operation Cyclone. He entered the US in 1990 with the CIA's approval. A confidential CIA report concluded that the agency was "partly culpable" for the 1993 World Trade Center blast, the Independent reported.

Bin Laden

Osama bin Laden, one of 20 sons of a billionaire construction magnate, arrived in Afghanistan to join the jihad in 1980. An austere religious fanatic and business tycoon, bin Laden specialised in recruiting, financing and training the estimated 35,000 non-Afghan mercenaries who joined the mujaheddin.
The bin Laden family is a prominent pillar of the Saudi Arabian ruling class, with close personal, financial and political ties to that country's pro-US royal family.
Bin Laden senior was appointed Saudi Arabia's minister of public works as a favour by King Faisal. The new minister awarded his own construction companies lucrative contracts to rebuild Islam's holiest mosques in Mecca and Medina. In the process, the bin Laden family company in 1966 became the world's largest private construction company.
Osama bin Laden's father died in 1968. Until 1994, he had access to the dividends from this ill-gotten business empire.
(Bin Laden junior's oft-quoted personal fortune of US$200-300 million has been arrived at by the US State Department by dividing today's value of the bin Laden family net worth — estimated to be US$5 billion — by the number of bin Laden senior's sons. A fact rarely mentioned is that in 1994 the bin Laden family disowned Osama and took control of his share.)
Osama's military and business adventures in Afghanistan had the blessing of the bin Laden dynasty and the reactionary Saudi Arabian regime. His close working relationship with MAK also meant that the CIA was fully aware of his activities.
Milt Bearden, the CIA's station chief in Pakistan from 1986 to 1989, admitted to the January 24, 2000, New Yorker that while he never personally met bin Laden, "Did I know that he was out there? Yes, I did ... [Guys like] bin Laden were bringing $20-$25 million a month from other Saudis and Gulf Arabs to underwrite the war. And that is a lot of money. It's an extra $200-$300 million a year. And this is what bin Laden did."
In 1986, bin Laden brought heavy construction equipment from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan. Using his extensive knowledge of construction techniques (he has a degree in civil engineering), he built "training camps", some dug deep into the sides of mountains, and built roads to reach them.
These camps, now dubbed "terrorist universities" by Washington, were built in collaboration with the ISI and the CIA. The Afghan contra fighters, including the tens of thousands of mercenaries recruited and paid for by bin Laden, were armed by the CIA. Pakistan, the US and Britain provided military trainers.
Tom Carew, a former British SAS soldier who secretly fought for the mujaheddin told the August 13, 2000, British Observer, "The Americans were keen to teach the Afghans the techniques of urban terrorism — car bombing and so on — so that they could strike at the Russians in major towns ... Many of them are now using their knowledge and expertise to wage war on everything they hate."
Al Qaeda (the Base), bin Laden's organisation, was established in 1987-88 to run the camps and other business enterprises. It is a tightly-run capitalist holding company — albeit one that integrates the operations of a mercenary force and related logistical services with "legitimate" business operations.
Bin Laden has simply continued to do the job he was asked to do in Afghanistan during the 1980s — fund, feed and train mercenaries. All that has changed is his primary customer. Then it was the ISI and, behind the scenes, the CIA. Today, his services are utilised primarily by the reactionary Taliban regime.
Bin Laden only became a "terrorist" in US eyes when he fell out with the Saudi royal family over its decision to allow more than 540,000 US troops to be stationed on Saudi soil following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
When thousands of US troops remained in Saudi Arabia after the end of the Gulf War, bin Laden's anger turned to outright opposition. He declared that Saudi Arabia and other regimes — such as Egypt — in the Middle East were puppets of the US, just as the PDPA government of Afghanistan had been a puppet of the Soviet Union.
He called for the overthrow of these client regimes and declared it the duty of all Muslims to drive the US out of the Gulf states. In 1994, he was stripped of his Saudi citizenship and forced to leave the country. His assets there were frozen.
After a period in Sudan, he returned to Afghanistan in May 1996. He refurbished the camps he had helped build during the Afghan war and offered the facilities and services — and thousands of his mercenaries — to the Taliban, which took power that September.
Today, bin Laden's private army of non-Afghan religious fanatics is a key prop of the Taliban regime.
Prior to the devastating September 11 attack on the twin towers of World Trade Center, US ruling-class figures remained unrepentant about the consequences of their dirty deals with the likes of bin Laden, Hekmatyar and the Taliban. Since the awful attack, they have been downright hypocritical.
In an August 28, 1998, report posted on MSNBC, Michael Moran quotes Senator Orrin Hatch, who was a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee which approved US dealings with the mujaheddin, as saying he would make "the same call again", even knowing what bin Laden would become.
"It was worth it. Those were very important, pivotal matters that played an important role in the downfall of the Soviet Union."
Hatch today is one of the most gung-ho voices demanding military retaliation.
Another face that has appeared repeatedly on television screens since the attack has been Vincent Cannistrano, described as a former CIA chief of "counter-terrorism operations".
Cannistrano is certainly an expert on terrorists like bin Laden, because he directed their "work". He was in charge of the CIA-backed Nicaraguan contras during the early 1980s. In 1984, he became the supervisor of covert aid to the Afghan mujaheddin for the US National Security Council.
The last word goes to Zbigniew Brzezinski: "What was more important in the world view of history? The Taliban or the fall of the Soviet Empire? A few stirred up Muslims or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?"

Bin Laden dead, but US wars continue

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

A billionaire, mass murdering criminal is dead, but the symbiotic processes of empire and terrorism that breed inequality, war, occupation, torture and dispossession are alive and well.
Thank goodness for independent media such as Democracy Now! Today's program offers sober, historically informed commentary on the death of Osama Bin Laden, killed yesterday in a US Special Forces operation in Pakistan.
A day like today reminds us why independent media is so essential. In the hands of most of the corporate media, Bin Laden's death is detached from its historical context and treated as merely an occasion for jingoistic self-congratulation.
Speaking of which, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was quick to issue a statement on Bin Laden's death, which included an unsubtle justification for his unpopular policy of extending Canada's war in Afghanistan.
It's utter nonsense, of course. First of all, it's worth remembering that Bin Laden and his cohort of terrorists were themselves incubated by foreign invasion, occupation and torture — the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the CIA-backed armed resistance there, the torture-chambers of a secular dictatorship in Egypt, and so forth.
These are the roots of Al-Qaeda and no one can doubt that the past decade's wars, occupations and torture have sown the seeds for new and unexpected “blowback”.
Then there's the fact that the over 100,000 foreign troops and mercenaries occupying Afghanistan have scarcely even been pretending to be chasing Al-Qaeda in that country since soon after fall 2001.
Even U.S. government sources estimate that there are less than 100 operatives from that terror network in Afghanistan.
No, what the war in Afghanistan has been about for the better part of the past decade has been propping up a corrupt puppet government chalk full of warlords and drug traffickers, including many former colleagues of Osama Bin Laden.
The fundamentalist thugs in Karzai's government share Bin Laden's extreme conservatism and misogyny, but this can scarcely be mentioned since their militias kill for 'our' side.





A media that provided relevant historical context would have given us years of screaming headlines about these sordid kingpins in Karzai's government. Take, for instance, the case of Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, one of the senior fundamentalist warlords in Afghanistan. Sayyaf is reportedly the man who first invited a rich young zealot named Osama Bin Laden to Afghanistan to join the war against the Soviet occupation.
Sayyaf literally built the future Al-Qaeda training camps with Bin Laden. For most of the past decade Sayyaf has sat as a Member of Parliament in Afghanistan supporting the NATO-backed Karzai government.
In fact, he sat in the row right in front of Afghan feminist and anti-war activist Malalai Joya; I only know this because she told me about the day in parliament when he turned around and threatened to kill her.
Joya was later thrown out of parliament for “insulting” thugs like Sayyaf, while Bin Laden's old mentor continues to enjoy his seat and all the attendant respect and privileges.
Sayyaf spends his days in a fortified mansion compound in the district of Paghman, just outside of Afghanistan's capital Kabul, not unlike the mansion outside of Pakistan's capital where Bin Laden was found and assassinated this week by the U.S.
So turn off the cable news scenes of USA-chanting-frat-party-esque revelry and take a minute to remember all the innocent victims of the murderous attacks in Kenya, Tanzania, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC, and the victims of like-minded murderers in Bali, London, Madrid, Mumbai and beyond.
And take a moment, also, to remember the hundreds of thousands dead, the tens of thousands detained and tortured and the millions displaced in the wars (declared and undeclared) and occupations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Palestine and beyond -- all justified by the rhetoric of the 'war on terror'.
On a day like today we need more than vacuous media cheerleading and the facile justifications of politicians like Harper.
On a day like today we need to honour the victims of war and terrorism, and to recommit to dismantling the unjust systems that produce them.

Wikileaks proves: Afghan war unjust and unwinnable
 
 

Wikileaks proves: Afghan war unjust and unwinnable

Sunday, August 1, 2010
“If the people keep identifying democracy as a system that is worst [sic] than the Taliban government, the people will support the anti-coalition forces and the security condition will degenerate”, an unnamed member of the Paktya provincial council is quoted in one of 75,000 classified US reports about the military occupation of Afghanistan published by the Wikileaks website on July 26.
Before publication, the files were shared with journalists from the New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel for authentication and analysis.
Wikileaks acquired more than 91,000 reports, which they dubbed the “Afghan War Diary”. But it said it had “delayed the release of some 15,000 reports from the total archive as part of a harm minimization process demanded by our source”.
The US government reacted to the biggest military intelligence leak in history with a mixture of dismissiveness — playing down the documents by saying there was nothing “new” in them — and anger that “security” had been compromised.
US national security adviser James Jones said the publication of the documents puts the lives of soldiers and civilians at risk, ABC Online said on July 26.

Adelaide Now on July 29 quoted US Admiral Mike Mullen saying he was “appalled” at the leak.
Yet it seems governments and the media are not appalled by the horrifying content of the reports, which detail civilians being killed and maimed; brutality and lawlessness from the occupying forces and their Afghan puppets; cover-ups; endemic corruption and wide-scale disorganisation in running the occupation effort.
Mullen said the US's strategy would not change.
The response from the Australian government has been equally dismissive. Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the defence department had simply established a task force to examine any material relating to the Australian Defence Force (ADF), the Sydney Morning Herald said on July 27.
The leaked material both confirmed previously reported attacks on civilians by the occupying forces and revealed previously undocumented incidents. It also catalogues systematic under-reporting and cover-ups of such incidents.
The July 26 Guardian said, “the logs demonstrate how much of the … US internal reporting of air strikes is simply false”.
The leaked material shone light on the secretive role of Special Forces units such as Task Force 373, who carry out targeted assassinations and kidnappings of Taliban leaders, working from a hit list of about 2000 names called the “joint prioritised effects list”.
Not only is the legality of extrajudicial executions and abductions questionable, the files show “that TF 373 has also killed civilian men, women and children and even Afghan police officers who have strayed into its path”, the Guardian said.
For example, a report on an unsuccessful attempt to capture or kill Taliban commander Qarl Ur-Rahman on June 11, 2007 said: “The original mission was aborted and TF 373 broke contact and returned to base. Follow-up Report: 7 x ANP KIA, 4 x WIA.”
The acronyms denote that the Special Forces killed seven Afghan police and wounded four.
After seven children were killed by Task Force 373 on June 17, 2007, the occupation forces claimed to the media that the Taliban had used the children as human shields in a firefight.
However, the leaked files show the US press statements “failed to record that TF 373 had fired five rockets, destroying the madrasa and other buildings and killing seven children, before anybody had fired on them — that this looked like a mission to kill and not to capture”, the Guardian said.
“Indeed, this was clearly deliberately suppressed”
In fact, the files reveal that in this instance the US was so keen to hide the fact that the killings resulted from TF 373’s bungled attempt to assassinate an al-Qaeda operative and not, as they claimed, a chance encounter between US forces and the Taliban, that the relevant file was not to be shown even to the non-US component of the occupying forces (such as the British, Germans, Canadians and Australians).
The leaked files also show that many Afghans blame the occupation forces for bringing corruption as well as killing non-combatants.
Supporters of the war have sought to deflect attention from the revelations by criticising Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing the names of Afghan informants who could be targeted by the Taliban.
Australian Defence Association executive director Neil James told the July 28 Sydney Morning Herald: “As an Australian citizen, … Assange may also be guilty of a serious criminal offence by assisting an enemy the ADF is fighting on behalf of all Australians, especially if the assistance was intentional.”
This moralising is deeply hypocritical — the very reports published by Assange detail killings and brutality performed by occupying troops and the warlord-run Afghan government they prop up.
Assange expressed doubt that any informers’ names had been revealed, pointing to the 15,000 files whose release had been delayed for that purpose and suggesting on the ABC’s Lateline on July 29 that the allegations against him were “media manipulation” by the US military.
Nothing can hide the fact that the Afghan War Diary presents a very different picture to the official version offered by the US and Australian governments.
Another revelation is that Pakistan has been supporting the Taliban's insurgency, through its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and military.
Despite Pakistan being a US ally and its public support of the Afghan government for Hamid Karzai, the reports allege sections of the Pakistani military have been supplying the Taliban with funding, safe-havens and logistical support.
Pakistan has denied the accusations. Former ISI head Hamid Gul said the leak was part of a US plot to remove itself from the war, the Washington Post said on July 28. However, these denials belie Pakistan's real interests in having a friendly force ruling Afghanistan.
Amin Saikal, professor of Political Science at the Australian National University, said on the ABC Drum website on July 28 that, recognising that the US was losing and would eventually leave, the ISI and Pakistani military are backing the Taliban to ensure Afghanistan would “not fall into the hands of any group which may not be receptive or subordinate to Pakistan's regional interests”.
Links between the Taliban and the ISI go back to the Taliban's origins in early 1990s. Indeed, the ISI created the Taliban with CIA approval.
The Afghan War Diary provides an insight into the day-to-day conditions of the war, leaving the idea that this is a “good war” in tatters. Thanks to Wikileaks, justifying the continuation of this war just got a lot harder.

Mark Steel on Wikileaks:Shooting the messenger

Sunday, August 1, 2010
 
Why are the British and US governments saying the leak of military documents about Afghanistan has "put our soldiers at risk"? It's us who have been kept hidden from this information, not the Taliban. For example, many of the revelations are previously hidden details of civilian casualties, but Afghans in those areas probably already knew about those deaths.
I don't suppose local insurgents have said: "Well well, I've read the leaked documents, and you know that family whose house was bombed to rubble by an American plane, and the rest of the village arrived and wailed for three days and swore revenge and then there was a funeral that we all went to? Well, it turns out they're dead."
One typical story in the documents tells how in March 2007, following an explosion, marines opened fire with automatic weapons as they drove down a six-mile stretch of road, killing 19 civilians including teenage girls in fields, motorists and an old man. But when they made a military report on the episode, they wrote that after the explosion the "patrol returned to base".
This was accurate, as far as it went. It just missed out the details in between. But I suppose with all the excitement of returning to base you can easily forget the other bit of the afternoon, where you shot up half the neighbourhood.
In any case, those forms are so complicated, who wouldn't miss out on all that box-ticking after a tiring day.
Other documents reveal details of attempts to win over the locals. So one says: "The village of Mamadi is definitely anti-coalition. They want nothing to do with us."

Related articles:



There are similar accounts, but then an endearingly optimistic report about a visit to a school in Nuristan, that says: "They were very friendly and wanted to talk to us. Some of them threw rocks at the soldiers, but it all appeared to be in good fun."
So it seems the soldiers experienced the traditional friendly Nuristan greeting of rock-hurling. Because as anyone knows, the time to worry in Nuristan is when you say hello and they don't sling a rock at you, then you know you've offended them. But when they see you coming and immediately roll a boulder at your head you're practically family.
Another objection to the leaks is even more unlikely — that the information is irrelevant because it concerns events of a few years ago, before these problems were sorted out.
Indeed, some of these accounts of civilian casualties took place way back in the olden days of 2008, when the war was in its infancy, barely seven years old. And as any military expert knows there are always teething troubles in any war for the first seven years, until year eight when matters suddenly sort themselves out and get settled.
So the main attack has been the traditional one with a leak, to ignore the lies, disasters and deaths revealed, and instead become furious at whoever exposed it all. If you report a murder to the police, you wouldn't expect to turn on the news later and hear: "The police have said they'll do all they can to catch the sick individual who revealed there had been a murder."
If things were going well, they probably wouldn't mind leaks detailing levels of corruption. Unless they said: "Ooh, it had all come together so well it looks like we'll be finished by September, with democracy and all the warlords doing community service, and we were going to announce it as a nice surprise and now you've spoilt it, Wikileaks."
Instead, the documents reveal the Taliban's weaponry is greater than admitted, and the Afghan army is riddled with corruption and victory seems unlikely, far from the official declarations that it's all going to plan.
Secrets are essential, not because of the danger when information gets to insurgents, but because of the danger when information gets to us. For we might conclude that having an army in Afghanistan, for no coherent reason, appears to putting the soldiers and the Afghans at a certain amount of risk.

John Pilger: Wikileaks must be defended



Sunday, August 29, 2010
 
On July 26, Wikileaks released thousands of secret US military files on the war in Afghanistan. Cover-ups, a secret assassination unit and the killing of civilians are documented.
In file after file, the brutalities echo the colonial past. From Malaya and Vietnam to Bloody Sunday in Ireland and Basra in Iraq, little has changed. The difference is that today there is an extraordinary way of knowing how faraway societies are routinely ravaged in our name.
Wikileaks has acquired records of six years of civilian killing for both Afghanistan and Iraq, of which those published in the Guardian, Der Spiegel and the New York Times are a fraction.
There is understandably hysteria on high, with demands that the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is “hunted down” and “rendered”.
In Washington, I interviewed a senior defence department official and asked: “Can you give a guarantee that the editors of Wikileaks and the editor in chief, who is not American, will not be subjected to the kind of manhunt that we read about in the media?”
He replied, “It’s not my position to give guarantees on anything”. He referred me to the “ongoing criminal investigation” of a US soldier, Bradley Manning, an alleged whistleblower.
In a nation that claims its constitution protects truth-tellers, the Obama administration is pursuing and prosecuting more whistleblowers than any of its modern predecessors. A Pentagon document states bluntly that US intelligence intends to “fatally marginalise” Wikileaks.
The preferred tactic is smear, with corporate journalists ever ready to play their part.

Related articles:


On 31 July, the US celebrity reporter Christiane Amanapour interviewed US defence secretary Robert Gates on the ABC network. She invited Gates to describe to her viewers his “anger” at Wikileaks.
She echoed the Pentagon line that “this leak has blood on its hands”, thereby cueing Gates to find Wikileaks “guilty” of “moral culpability”.
Such hypocrisy coming from a regime drenched in the blood of the people of Afghanistan and Iraq — as its own files make clear — is apparently not for journalistic enquiry. This is hardly surprising now that a new and fearless form of public accountability, which Wikileaks represents, threatens not only the war-makers but their apologists.
Their current propaganda is that Wikileaks is “irresponsible”. Earlier this year, before it released the cockpit video of a US Apache gunship killing 19 civilians in Iraq, including journalists and children, Wikileaks sent people to Baghdad to find the families of the victims in order to prepare them.
Prior to the release of the Afghan War Logs in July, Wikileaks wrote to the White House asking that it identify names that might draw reprisals. There was no reply.
More than 15,000 files were withheld and these, says Assange, will not be released until they have been scrutinised “line by line” so that names of those at risk can be deleted.
The pressure on Assange himself seems unrelenting. In his homeland, Australia, the shadow foreign minister, Julie Bishop, has said that if her right-wing coalition won the August 21 federal elections, “appropriate action” will be taken “if an Australian citizen has deliberately undertake an activity that could put at risk the lives of Australian forces in Afghanistan or undermine our operations in any way”.
The Australian role in Afghanistan, effectively mercenary in the service of Washington, has produced two striking results: the massacre of five children in a village in Oruzgan province and the overwhelming disapproval of the majority of Australians.
Last May, following the release of the Apache footage, Assange had his Australian passport temporarily confiscated when he returned home. The Labor government in Canberra denied it received requests from Washington to detain him and spy on the Wikileaks network.
The British government also denies this. They would, wouldn’t they? Assange, who came to London in July to work on exposing the war logs, has had to leave Britain hastily for, as he puts it, “safer climes”.
On August 16, the Guardian, citing US Vietnam War-era whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, described the great Israeli whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu as “the pre-eminent hero of the nuclear age”.
Vanunu, who alerted the world to Israel’s secret nuclear weapons, was kidnapped by the Israelis and incarcerated for 18 years after he was left unprotected by the London Sunday Times, which had published the documents he supplied.
In 1983, another heroic whistleblower, Sarah Tisdall, a British foreign office clerical worker, sent documents to the Guardian that disclosed how the Thatcher government planned to spin the arrival of US cruise missiles in Britain. The Guardian complied with a court order to hand over the documents, and Tisdall went to prison.
In one sense, the Wikileaks revelations shame the dominant section of journalism devoted merely to taking down what cynical and malign power tells it. This is state stenography, not journalism.
Look on the Wikileaks site and read a British defence ministry document that describes the “threat” of real journalism. And so it should be a threat. Having published skilfully the Wikileaks expose of a fraudulent war, the Guardian should now give its most powerful and unreserved editorial support to the protection of Assange and his colleagues, whose truth-telling is as important as any in my lifetime.
I like Assange’s dust-dry wit. When I asked him if it was more difficult to publish secret information in Britain, he replied: “When we look at Official Secrets Act labelled documents we see that they state it is an offence to retain the information and an offence to destroy the information. So the only possible outcome we have is to publish the information.”

War on Afghanistan: a crime against humanity

Friday, October 8, 2010
 
Statement from the Socialist Alliance National Executive October 8, 2010
On October 17, 2001 the Howard Coalition government deployed Australian troops to Afghanistan, just nine days after the US had begun bombing one of the most poverty stricken and war weary nations on earth.
The then newly-formed Socialist Alliance responded to this attack and its reputed catalyst, the terrorist bombings on New York and Washington some weeks earlier, by noting the US' hypocrisy and pledging to campaign against Bush's “war without end”.
“We are ready to play a part in mobilising the broadest possible opposition to any attempt by US policies and their global allies to use the tragedy as a pretext for military aggression”, we said.
Since then, the Socialist Alliance has maintained its opposition to Australia's commitment to the US-NATO occupation of Afghanistan. We have continued to seek out ways of building community opposition to this (and the Iraq) wars – an opening which could become greater when federal parliament starts its debate.

Related articles:



This October marks the 10th year since the US and its allies including Australia invaded Afghanistan. The bombing of the poorest country in the world by some of the richest is a crime against humanity. The real purpose of this crime is to further US power in the region.
Its initial legal justification has been called into question since the US and the UK's use of United Nations Article 51 precludes any self-defence which continues after an attack.
Furthermore, the right of self-defence relates to attacks by other nation states, not criminal activity, such as terrorism.
Despite what Western leaders have claimed, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan did not sponsor the 9/11 attacks. While the Al-Qaeda leadership was based in Afghanistan, the terrorists who carried out the attacks (none of whom were Afghan) were residents of Germany and the US. Recent reports even suggest that the Taliban may have attempted to warn of the 9/11 attacks and curtail the activities of Al-Qaeda.
Ironically, the US has engaged in state-sponsored terrorism against Afghanistan since the 1970s. Al-Qaeda is a US-created terrorist outfit that went rogue.
Afghanistan has been called "the graveyard of empires". Historically, insurgent groups in Afghanistan have defeated all invaders. The same will happen with the current war - the longest for Australia since Vietnam.
The Taliban is part of the blow back of the Russian war in Afghanistan. Even Hilary Clinton admits it was one of the jihadist groups which, as allies, was “emboldened trained and equipped” and not deemed a security risk to the US or its allies.
Taliban expansion will continue, often with complicity of the people as a result of their increasing disgust with the brutal and corrupt Kabul government, the rising civilian deaths from the US-led forces, particularly though air strikes and their own dispossession and hopelessness.
Al Qaeda’s presence in Afghanistan does not pose as great a threat to the Afghan people as does the suffering caused by the occupiers, or the constant bombings by unmanned predator drones launched from bases in the US.
Al’Qaeda has greatly reduced numbers in Afghanistan. In a June interview on US ABC TV, CIA chief Leon Panetta estimated the number of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan as “at most … 50-100”.
Insurgent groups continue to form to fight the occupying armies support for the corrupt Hamid Karzai government, lawless warlords and their connection to the venal Pakistani Intelligence Agency. (See the Wikileak Afghanistan War Diaries for more evidence of this.)
The indomitable Revolutionary Association of Women in Afghanistan (RAWA) attribute the current rise in fundamentalism, lawlessness, poverty and rape directly to the occupation. Besieged by extreme weather, in a country whose infrastructure has been smashed by conflict, many Afghan people have few chances of surviving over the age of 43 years.
Apologists for Australian troops remaining in Afghanistan claim they are there to “finish the job”. This, apparently, entails training the Afghan army and police so that it can maintain the corrupt and drug-lord linked government of President Hamid Karzai, which was installed undemocratically by the US and allied invaders. This dubious "job" may never be finished.
The Karzai regime is protected by foreign troops and private mercenaries rather than by the ragged Afghan army or police. These forces are either the private warlord militias (in new uniforms) or people looking for some pay to feed their families. Many desert. Others shoot their “mentors”.
Rosy views of Australia’s involvement as assisting the Afghan people are now being challenged by the September decision to court martial members of Australian Special Operations Task Group for the murder of two adults and four children near the village of Sarmorghab in Oruzgan province in 2009.
Labor and the Coalition insist that Australia's national security is at stake if the troops are withdrawn. But Afghanistan has never threatened Australia.
However, protracted Western wars of aggression, occupation and terror against poor Muslim nations like Afghanistan will continue to provoke the level of resentment that can lead to terrorism by groups and individuals in many countries.
These wars are acts of sustained state terror, which are provoking acts terror of in response. This is why defence commentators admit that the troop surge and endless war of occupation is not only helping to destabilise Afghanistan and Pakistan, it is a threat to global security.
Life for Afghan women, whom supporters of the war claim to want to protect, continues to deteriorate in Taliban and non-Taliban areas. Kazai has made it legal for husbands to rape their wives, and recent reports indicate a rising number of attempts at self-immolation.
A UN report “Trends in Maternal Mortality” indicates that after nearly a decade of donor funded health projects, there has only been a marginal reduction in maternal and child mortality.
Last year, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ranked Afghanistan the worst of 202 countries in terms of maternal, infant and child mortality.
We must force the Australian government to withdraw the troops. Currently 61% of Australians want the troops brought back. The views of most Australians should not be ignored for the sake of the US-Australia Alliance.
Australia should not walk away from this war ravaged country. The Gillard government should provide funding and assistance to the people of Afghanistan (not the corrupt bureaucrats – Afghan or Western). War reparations would allow the Afghan people to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.
Australia must also open its doors to those Afghan refugees who want to come here. This is the least this country can do after having helped create mass dislocation and displacement.
Finally, politicians must cease politically manipulating this ongoing tragedy. The debate – which the ALP has been forced to have – must extend well beyond parliament. It will not be a debate if, as PM Julia Gillard wants, it is framed within a call for “support for the troops”.
The purpose of framing the “debate” this way is to use blind and misplaced nationalist sentiment in an effort to silence any argument that exposes the Australian and other foreign military intervention in Afghanistan as the criminal and anti-people war that it really is.
It’s time for the silent majority to make their views known, and force an end to this bipartisan madness in which tens of thousands, if not more, have been killed for no good reason.

What is OSAMA BIN LADEN CIA AGENT 1980 SNOPES?


 
 
First of Two
The Bills of St. Mary's
posted 16 August, 2006 07:41 AM
NEW YORK (CNN) -- CNN terrorism analyst Peter Bergen says the notion that Osama bin Laden once worked for the CIA is "simply a folk myth" and that there's no shred of evidence to support such theories.

quote:
Q: If it's true that bin Laden once worked for the CIA, what makes you so sure that he isn't still?
Anne Busigin, Toronto, Canada

BERGEN: This is one of those things where you cannot put it out of its misery.

The story about bin Laden and the CIA -- that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden -- is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently.

The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.

Hopefully, this will help silence some of the many loonies who still believe this UL.

Hehe of course the CIA would deny it since it reflects badly on them. The thing is the Bin Laden's were major people in the Arab world the Bush family did a lot of business with them and so did numerous goverment agencies including the CIA.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/etc/cron.html shows that he was known prior to 1996. He is thought to have been involved in Somalia for instance in 1993 in an attack in which 18 US troops were killed.

Sorry but many reports do show that the federal goverment was aware of him and his group.

*sigh*

Probably not.

Look... I'm AWARE that you exist. Does that automatically mean I'm sending you money and arms and supporting YOUR agenda?

We supported the Pakinstanis who supported many of the people that went into Bin Laden's camp. We also supported the Bin Laden group in many legal ventures and no doubt many CIA/Defense Department sponsored ventures. We did indeed politically support his group and other such groups when they were fighting against the Soviets.

Like it or not we did setup a lot of the backlash against us.

There are quite a few substantial links between the Bush family and the Bin Laden's stretching back quite a while. It even ties into financing of Bin Laden's anti-Soviet group.
Ever hear of James R. Bath or the Caryle Group?

It's odd but prior to now the CIA did say he was asset. That he was used and supported by them.

I suggest you consider why the change in tone these past few years regarding Osama.

No, that doesn't show that he was known prior to 1996. All it shows is that, in 1998, the US believed that the 1992 bombing in Yemen was bin Laden's first attack and that in 1999 the US believed he was part of the 1993 attacks in Somalia. You're showing post-1996 sources. That doesn't mean they knew or suspected any of this at the time of the attacks, just that by 1998/99 they knew.

Whether that translate to Bin Laden specifically isn't so clear. But, Bush probably does have ties to the Bin Laden family, but Osama sort of rejected his family in support of his family's enemies long ago.

The Soviet regime in Afghanistan was overthrown in 1992. The Taliban didn't exist as a significant group until 1994.

The other main weakness to the "US supporting Taliban" scenario is that the scenario would ammear much more likely if the US had actually recognized the Taliban instead of militating for the world not to recognize them.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your insane paranoid rant.

I think the "US funded the Taliban" while incorrect is not totally off the mark.

From my understanding, the CIA was involved (along with other intelligence agencies) in supplying factions within Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. It would not be impossible to think that some of these CIA trained/equipped Afghanis would end up being involved with the Taliban.

Haven't you all learned by now TTTC's tactics? Throw out an absurd arguement with pathetically little source justification... and when called to account on it, rather than respond on that issue, fabricate another one. That way, he maintains the initiative in an arguement, he doesn't have to respond to the attacks on his credability, and it puts everyone else on the defensive.

Well, hogwash, I say.

You are absolutely, 100% correct. Some of the muj we trained in the 1980s now doubt ended up in Taliban camps, as did some of the weapons.

There is a huge gulf, however, between that and saying we sponsored and supported the Taliban, as TTTC asserts.

Now, pardon while I take TTTC's and Ophiucus' arguements apart piece by piece.

quote:

Nonsense. As FoT already pointed out, the Soviet Union had withdrawn from Afghanistan long before the concept of the Taliban even existed. The CIA supported the mujahedin in the 1980s; they NEVER supported the Taliban.

There are those who argue that the muj and the Taliban are one and the same; that is a gross mistatement. While there has no doubt been some spillover, as Publius points out in this thread, nothing could be further than the truth. I'll quote him:

quote:
Few Taliban were veterans of the war against the Soviets. Most were simply too young: they were students in the Pakistani madaris when the earliest Taliban cadres recruited them, after all. Even those that were old enough were stuck in a theater of the war that was chronically shortchanged by ISI when it came time to pass out the resources given to Pakistan by the CIA. Almost all of the aid that the Pakistanis did dole out in southern Afghanistan went to longtime Taliban rival Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, until the Pakistanis reversed their position and began sponsoring the Taliban big time in 1994.

By that time, of course, most of the real veterans of the Soviet war were fighting for the warlords in Kabul and the CIA had stopped writing blank checks to Pakistani ISI. The idea that the US put the Taliban in power has more irony to it than truth.

quote:
We supported the Pakinstanis who supported many of the people that went into Bin Laden's camp. We also supported the Bin Laden group in many legal ventures and no doubt many CIA/Defense Department sponsored ventures. We did indeed politically support his group and other such groups when they were fighting against the Soviets.
Yes, we did support the Pakistanis, and several other countries in the region. But their relationship with the Taliban was a non-issue to our support for them. Saying that in supporting Pakistan on and off over the last several decades, we were rendering deliberate and tangible support to the Taliban is absurd and fallacious.

quote:
Like it or not we did setup a lot of the backlash against us.

I don't disagree with this, but it was far from deliberate or intentional.

quote:

Ever hear of James R. Bath or the Caryle Group?

There are a number of links between the US oil industry and the Bin Laden family... prior to the late 1990s, the Bin Laden name was renowned as one of the most powerful business ventures in the Arabian Peninsula, not as the moniker of a master terrorist. Though I do not dispute the shadiness of the ICCC's (and most of big oil's) financial dealings in the Middle East, there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support or even suggest that any of this translates to direct US Government support of Bin Laden or the Taliban (nor is there any proof that Bath was at all affiliated with the CIA.)

quote:
t's odd but prior to now the CIA did say he was asset. That he was used and supported by them.
To echo Pinqy, I'd like to see some evidence behind that. And just this once, try making sure your cite actually supports your claim.

Oh brother. I can't believe anyone is seriously debating this, based on the very FIRST I've ever seen of the CIA's own less than credible denials.

Next time, try taking a look. The evidence for this isn't exactly suffering from a shortage of sources. Denying this is right up there with claiming WMDs in Iraq were the reason for the war.

Deny, if you can, half a dozen journalists, military experts like Jane's, and a Congressional report. And then ask yourselves, why you were so naive as to take seriously CIA denials?

http://www.fas.org/irp/news/1998/08/acovfri.htm
USA Today 21 August 1998
"Ironically, bin-Laden started out on the same side as the United States. In 1979 he supported the Afgan mujadheddin guerrillas in their battle against the occupying Soviet Union.
They were supported by U.S. money, arms and CIA training in the Cold War battle for global influence. Bin Laden learned skills that would help him in the terrorist trade. According to an upcoming Congressional Research Service report, bin Laden gained "prominence during the Afghan war for his role in the recruitment, training and transportation of Arab nationals."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,551971,00.html
"Delighted by his impeccable Saudi credentials, the CIA gave Osama free rein in Afghanistan, as did Pakistan's intelligence generals.
Bin Laden and a man named Mustafa Chalaby, who ran a jihad refugee centre in Brooklyn [New York, U.S.A.], were both protégés of Abdullah Azzam. A formative influence on bin Laden, the charismatic Azzam was killed in a car-bomb in 1987: according to some rumours he was killed by the CIA. Others claim he was himself a CIA agent.
At the Farm and other secret camps, young Afghans and Arab nationals from countries such as Egypt and Jordan learned strategic sabotage skills. Passed down to the younger jihad generation which filled the ranks of the Bin Laden organisation, these skills would come back to haunt the United States."

"Osama Bin Laden: How the U.S. Helped Midwife a Terrorist
By Ahmed Rashid
LAHORE, Pakistan, September 13, 2001 — Ahmed Rashid of Pakistan is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a project of the Center for Public Integrity. He is the Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review and The Daily Telegraph of London. This is an excerpt from his book "Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia" (Yale University Press).

Among these thousands of foreign recruits was a young Saudi student, Osama Bin Laden, the son of a Yemeni construction magnate, Mohammed Bin Laden, who was a close friend of the late King Faisal and whose company had become fabulously wealthy on the contracts to renovate and expand the Holy Mosques of Mecca and Medina. The ISI had long wanted Prince Turki Bin Faisal, the head of Istakhbarat, the Saudi Intelligence Service, to provide a Royal Prince to lead the Saudi contingent in order to show Muslims the commitment of the Royal Family to the jihad. Only poorer Saudis, students, taxi drivers and Bedouin tribesmen had so far arrived to fight. But no pampered Saudi prince was ready to rough it out in the Afghan mountains. Bin Laden, although not a royal, was close enough to the royals and certainly wealthy enough to lead the Saudi contingent. Bin Laden, Prince Turki and [Lieutenant] General [Hameed] Gul [head of the ISI] were to become firm friends and allies in a common cause. The centre for the Arab-Afghans [Filipino Moros, Uzbeks from Soviet Central Asia, Arabs from Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and Uighurs from Xinjiang in China who had all come to fight with the Mujaheddin] was the offices of the World Muslim League and the Muslim Brotherhood in the northern Pakistan city of Peshawar. The centre was run by Abdullah Azam, a Jordanian Palestinian whom Bin Laden had first met at university in Jeddah and revered as his leader. Azam and his two sons were assassinated by a bomb blast in Peshawar in 1989.
During the 1980s, Azam had forged close links with Hikmetyar and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, the Afghan Islamic scholar, whom the Saudis had sent to Peshawar to promote Wahabbism. Saudi funds flowed to Azam and the Makhtab at Khidmat or Services Center, which he created in 1984 to service the new recruits and receive donations from Islamic charities. Donations from Saudi Intelligence, the Saudi Red Crescent, the World Muslim League and private donations from Saudi princes and mosques were channelled through the Makhtab. A decade later, the Makhtab would emerge at the center of a web of radical organizations that helped carry out the World Trade Center bombing and the bombings of US embassies in Africa in 1998....
His father backed the Afghan struggle and helped fund it, so when Bin Laden decided to join up, his family responded enthusiastically. He first traveled to Peshawar in 1980 and met the Mujaheddin leaders, returning frequently with Saudi donations for the cause until 1982, when he decided to settle in Peshawar. He brought in his company engineers and heavy construction equipment to help build roads and depots for the Mujaheddin. In 1986, he helped build the Khost tunnel complex, which the CIA was funding as a major arms storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep under the mountains close to the Pakistan border."

Nothing you quoted shows that the CIA trained or funded Osama.

The quotes show the CIA knew of Osama, they show that the CIA did fund/train the same Mujaheddin that Osama funded. Show me where it states that the CIA specifically funded and/or trained Osama.

Also, the USA has never supported the Taliban. As I discussed, it is entirely possible (even probable) that CIA-trained Mujaheddin ended up in the Taliban. This does not mean that there was any endorsement of the Taliban.

ETA:

DR, I agree that there is a massive difference between funding/training the Mujaheddin during the Soviet invasion and supporting the Taliban. My purpose was to clarify for the conspiracy theorists that there was a degree of separation between the concept of "CIA funds Afghanis" and "CIA funds the Taliban".

ETA 2: Besides, I watched all of Rambo III and Rambo never once encountered Osama so I figure the US can't possible have funded the guy

From pages 16-17 of the publication (and page 19-20 of the file containing the publication).

quote:
Islamic terrorist groups with vague international agendas have been a growing threat in recent years. These groups are sometimes loosely, sometimes draw their membership from communities in several different countries, and obtain support from an informal international network of like minded extremists rather than state-sponsors of terrorism. Many of these terrorists met while fighting against the Soviets in Afganistan or have since recieved millitary and explosives training there.

* The group led by Razmi Yosef, the convicted mastermind behind the world trade center bombing [ed. note - refers to the 1992 bombing], and the network maintained by Afghan terrorist Usoma Bin Laden are prime examples of this evolution of the international terrorist threat

Though it is no smoking gun that we trained Bin Laden specificly, there is clearly a fair amount of blowback in that many of the mujahadeen that we supported during the Soviet invasion of Afganistan may have sown the seeds of the Taliban who came to power after the colapse of the soviet empire.

Of course, we have supported other tyrants in the past (Saddam comes to mind, but as we all know - there was no connection between Saddam and the Taliban nor bin laden.), so it should come as no suprise that sometimes we do create (or at least feed) monsters who come back to bite us.

Salamander needs help with his basic reading skills.

I don't care about the little side issue of the Taliban. In fact I never said a word about it, or quoted anyone saying anything about it.

Reread the quotes. EVERY single article directly states the CIA not only knew about him. Most state they trained him or funded him. Several even state the specific agent who trained him.

Childishness aside, I worked under the assumption that you quoted the most damning paragraphs from your cites. Therefore I took it that if those quoted passages from your cites did not show a link then neither would the rest of the articles you cited.

Let me repeat myself, nothing that you have quoted in your original post demonstrates a link between Osama & the CIA. The first quote you gave shows that Osama and the CIA supported Afghani mujadheddin. It does not say the CIA supported Osama. It does not say Osama received his training from the CIA.

Your second quote refers to giving Osama "free rein"... which simply means the CIA did not interfere with Osama's actions in any way. Then it goes on to show that Azzam (who was not Osama) was killed and that there was suspicion that he was either killed by the CIA or was CIA himself. Yet, beyond speculation it really doesn't confirm anything in that regard.

The next quote (from Janes) states that Osama bin Laden was "one of many" beneficiaries from the war against Moscow. Note that it doesn't specifically state "funded by CIA" or "trained by CIA"... his benefit may have been from having CIA-trained mujadheddin joining his ranks.

The next one is about Osama forming Al Qaeda -- again, it states the US knew about it. Knowing about it is vastly different from endorsing or funding something.

Of the very lengthy final quote, the only reference to Osama and the CIA is that he helped build the Khost tunnel complex which the CIA was funding. Note that it says Osama's company helped... which to my terribly poor reading skills, suggests that he was not alone in working on building the tunnels.

Again, to my miserable reading comprehension, this means that the CIA was funding whichever companies were working on the complex and one of those happened to be a construction company run by Osama. The complex was built as a centre for the mujaheddin, which Osama never was.

I thought Osama bin Lader was a multi-millionaire in his own right. Why would he need the CIA to fund him? If I understand affairs correctly, he himself was funding Mujaheddin units.

It is, however, likely that the CIA was cooperating with him, selling weaponry to his units, giving information to his intelligence units, etc.

I see OBL as very similar to Theodore Roosevelt in the Spanish American War: he used his family money to equip a unit which he then led, but his skills were more organizational and financial than military.

I think that part of the larger problem here is that the anti-"anti-American"-ists would like to reduce a fairly complex cloud of foreign policy criticisms to a single straw man: Osama was on payroll from the CIA, here's his W-4.

There are probably people saying that, but there are also people saying that NASA faked the comet Hale-Bopp. This should not be used to distract from a serious criticism, like whether or not NASA is a good use of public funds.

The serious conversation here is whether or not US foreign policy in the Middle East has been an actual expression of our national interests, or whether or not it has been subordinated to short-sighted goals of a certain power elite. And the facts at hand are:

*The US supported the muj against the Soviets in a long and bitter war.
*The immense social and infrastructure costs of the war, and the power vested in fanatic ideologues, helped give rise to the Taliban (domestically) who created a climate hospitable to international terrorism.
*Having met our short-term objectives in Afghanistan in the early 1980s, the US more or less withdrew from active involvement in that country, and thus allowed the Taliban to be created.

The "anti-Americanist" point here is not that we are guilty, or culpable, or evil, or whatever. It is that some of our problems in 2006 could have been reasonably anticipated--and in fact, *were* anticipated--as possible results of our policy back in 1980. We can't fix that, but hopefully we can learn from it.

Unfortunately, I see very little evidence that we are learning from it. Right now, it is considered more or less unpatriotic to suggest that the Iraq War is creating a social trajectory in the region anathema to US interests.

The Afghanistan war did not start by the Soviet occupation. It was originally an uprising of radical Muslims against the secular government, which was trying to implement such controversial policies as equal opportunities for woman. Unfortunately, it was aligned with the Soviet Union, which send in troops to help prop up the government. USA started to arm and train the mujahadeen for no other reason than to help the USSR’s enemy. During this conflict large number of small children were orphaned and many were sent to schools run by fanatical Muslims which brought them up to be also fanatical Muslims. These children grew up and became Taliban.

During the war Osama would have been quite a prominent person in Afghanistan. Somehow I cannot imagine Saudi multimillionaire constructing roads and funding all sort of things would not stand out of the crowd. He would have been very well known to the CIA, and if they did not deal with him, I would have to wonder why?

During the war Osama was one of many foreigners who were at best considered a nuisance. He used his experience to tell tall tales of his exploits back home and that eventually made him a celebrity there but in Afghanistan he was a real nobody. (It wasn't until much later that he was even known there.) I'd like to know the answer to the opposite question: Why would the CIA deal with a rich brat who went to Afghanistan looking to be a martyr but didn't really do much but get in the way?

Correct. And I don't think anyone can argue that the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan was an unfortunate, unintended, and unforseen consequence of our actions in Afghanistan in the 1980s, among other contributing factors.

There's still a HUGE (and unreasonable) leap, however, between that fact and the arguement that the US created/supported the Taliban, Bin Laden, etc. And despite all the shady allusions and misleading cites in this thread, I still have yet to see any direct evidence to back up these assertions.

Q: If it's true that bin Laden once worked for the CIA, what makes you so sure that he isn't still?
Anne Busigin, Toronto, Canada

BERGEN: This is one of those things where you cannot put it out of its misery.

The story about bin Laden and the CIA -- that the CIA funded bin Laden or trained bin Laden -- is simply a folk myth. There's no evidence of this. In fact, there are very few things that bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and the U.S. government agree on. They all agree that they didn't have a relationship in the 1980s. And they wouldn't have needed to. Bin Laden had his own money, he was anti-American and he was operating secretly and independently.

The real story here is the CIA didn't really have a clue about who this guy was until 1996 when they set up a unit to really start tracking him.

Hopefully, this will help silence some of the many loonies who still believe this UL.

Hehe of course the CIA would deny it since it reflects badly on them. The thing is the Bin Laden's were major people in the Arab world the Bush family did a lot of business with them and so did numerous goverment agencies including the CIA.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/etc/cron.html shows that he was known prior to 1996. He is thought to have been involved in Somalia for instance in 1993 in an attack in which 18 US troops were killed.

Sorry but many reports do show that the federal goverment was aware of him and his group.

TTTC, I don't know why I even bother, but you do know the difference between "AWARENESS OF THE EXISTENCE of a person" and "TANGIBLE FINANCIAL, MATERIAL, AND POLITICAL SUPPORT of said person," right?

*sigh*

Probably not.

Look... I'm AWARE that you exist. Does that automatically mean I'm sending you money and arms and supporting YOUR agenda?

We supported the Pakinstanis who supported many of the people that went into Bin Laden's camp. We also supported the Bin Laden group in many legal ventures and no doubt many CIA/Defense Department sponsored ventures. We did indeed politically support his group and other such groups when they were fighting against the Soviets.

Like it or not we did setup a lot of the backlash against us.

There are quite a few substantial links between the Bush family and the Bin Laden's stretching back quite a while. It even ties into financing of Bin Laden's anti-Soviet group.
Ever hear of James R. Bath or the Caryle Group?

It's odd but prior to now the CIA did say he was asset. That he was used and supported by them.

I suggest you consider why the change in tone these past few years regarding Osama.

No, that doesn't show that he was known prior to 1996. All it shows is that, in 1998, the US believed that the 1992 bombing in Yemen was bin Laden's first attack and that in 1999 the US believed he was part of the 1993 attacks in Somalia. You're showing post-1996 sources. That doesn't mean they knew or suspected any of this at the time of the attacks, just that by 1998/99 they knew.

The CIA supported the Taliban due to insane paranoid anti-communist thinking...

Whether that translate to Bin Laden specifically isn't so clear. But, Bush probably does have ties to the Bin Laden family, but Osama sort of rejected his family in support of his family's enemies long ago.

Dang, how'd I miss that tttc had a clone?

The Soviet regime in Afghanistan was overthrown in 1992. The Taliban didn't exist as a significant group until 1994.

The other main weakness to the "US supporting Taliban" scenario is that the scenario would ammear much more likely if the US had actually recognized the Taliban instead of militating for the world not to recognize them.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your insane paranoid rant.

I think the "US funded the Taliban" while incorrect is not totally off the mark.

From my understanding, the CIA was involved (along with other intelligence agencies) in supplying factions within Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. It would not be impossible to think that some of these CIA trained/equipped Afghanis would end up being involved with the Taliban.

Haven't you all learned by now TTTC's tactics? Throw out an absurd arguement with pathetically little source justification... and when called to account on it, rather than respond on that issue, fabricate another one. That way, he maintains the initiative in an arguement, he doesn't have to respond to the attacks on his credability, and it puts everyone else on the defensive.

Well, hogwash, I say.

You are absolutely, 100% correct. Some of the muj we trained in the 1980s now doubt ended up in Taliban camps, as did some of the weapons.

There is a huge gulf, however, between that and saying we sponsored and supported the Taliban, as TTTC asserts.

Now, pardon while I take TTTC's and Ophiucus' arguements apart piece by piece.

quote:

Nonsense. As FoT already pointed out, the Soviet Union had withdrawn from Afghanistan long before the concept of the Taliban even existed. The CIA supported the mujahedin in the 1980s; they NEVER supported the Taliban.

There are those who argue that the muj and the Taliban are one and the same; that is a gross mistatement. While there has no doubt been some spillover, as Publius points out in this thread, nothing could be further than the truth. I'll quote him:

quote:
Few Taliban were veterans of the war against the Soviets. Most were simply too young: they were students in the Pakistani madaris when the earliest Taliban cadres recruited them, after all. Even those that were old enough were stuck in a theater of the war that was chronically shortchanged by ISI when it came time to pass out the resources given to Pakistan by the CIA. Almost all of the aid that the Pakistanis did dole out in southern Afghanistan went to longtime Taliban rival Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, until the Pakistanis reversed their position and began sponsoring the Taliban big time in 1994.

By that time, of course, most of the real veterans of the Soviet war were fighting for the warlords in Kabul and the CIA had stopped writing blank checks to Pakistani ISI. The idea that the US put the Taliban in power has more irony to it than truth.

quote:
We supported the Pakinstanis who supported many of the people that went into Bin Laden's camp. We also supported the Bin Laden group in many legal ventures and no doubt many CIA/Defense Department sponsored ventures. We did indeed politically support his group and other such groups when they were fighting against the Soviets.
Yes, we did support the Pakistanis, and several other countries in the region. But their relationship with the Taliban was a non-issue to our support for them. Saying that in supporting Pakistan on and off over the last several decades, we were rendering deliberate and tangible support to the Taliban is absurd and fallacious.

quote:
Like it or not we did setup a lot of the backlash against us.

I don't disagree with this, but it was far from deliberate or intentional.

quote:
There are quite a few substantial links between the Bush family and the Bin Laden's stretching back quite a while. It even ties into financing of Bin Laden's anti-Soviet group.
Ever hear of James R. Bath or the Caryle Group?

There are a number of links between the US oil industry and the Bin Laden family... prior to the late 1990s, the Bin Laden name was renowned as one of the most powerful business ventures in the Arabian Peninsula, not as the moniker of a master terrorist. Though I do not dispute the shadiness of the ICCC's (and most of big oil's) financial dealings in the Middle East, there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support or even suggest that any of this translates to direct US Government support of Bin Laden or the Taliban (nor is there any proof that Bath was at all affiliated with the CIA.)

quote:
t's odd but prior to now the CIA did say he was asset. That he was used and supported by them.
To echo Pinqy, I'd like to see some evidence behind that. And just this once, try making sure your cite actually supports your claim.

Oh brother. I can't believe anyone is seriously debating this, based on the very FIRST I've ever seen of the CIA's own less than credible denials.

Next time, try taking a look. The evidence for this isn't exactly suffering from a shortage of sources. Denying this is right up there with claiming WMDs in Iraq were the reason for the war.

Deny, if you can, half a dozen journalists, military experts like Jane's, and a Congressional report. And then ask yourselves, why you were so naive as to take seriously CIA denials?

http://www.fas.org/irp/news/1998/08/acovfri.htm
USA Today 21 August 1998
"Ironically, bin-Laden started out on the same side as the United States. In 1979 he supported the Afgan mujadheddin guerrillas in their battle against the occupying Soviet Union.
They were supported by U.S. money, arms and CIA training in the Cold War battle for global influence. Bin Laden learned skills that would help him in the terrorist trade. According to an upcoming Congressional Research Service report, bin Laden gained "prominence during the Afghan war for his role in the recruitment, training and transportation of Arab nationals."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,1284,551971,00.html
"Delighted by his impeccable Saudi credentials, the CIA gave Osama free rein in Afghanistan, as did Pakistan's intelligence generals.
Bin Laden and a man named Mustafa Chalaby, who ran a jihad refugee centre in Brooklyn [New York, U.S.A.], were both protégés of Abdullah Azzam. A formative influence on bin Laden, the charismatic Azzam was killed in a car-bomb in 1987: according to some rumours he was killed by the CIA. Others claim he was himself a CIA agent.
At the Farm and other secret camps, young Afghans and Arab nationals from countries such as Egypt and Jordan learned strategic sabotage skills. Passed down to the younger jihad generation which filled the ranks of the Bin Laden organisation, these skills would come back to haunt the United States."
http://www.janes.com/regional_news/americas/news/jdw/jdw010914_1_n.shtml
"Osama bin Laden was one of many US beneficiaries in its war against Moscow. He spent years in the mid-1980s travelling widely to raise funds and recruit thousands of Muslim youths to fight the Soviets.
The rise of Al-Qaeda
In 1988, with US knowledge, Bin Laden created Al Qaeda (The Base): a conglomerate of quasi-independent Islamic terrorist cells in countries spread across at least 26 countries."

http://www.publicintegrity.org/report.aspx?aid=293
"Osama Bin Laden: How the U.S. Helped Midwife a Terrorist
By Ahmed Rashid
LAHORE, Pakistan, September 13, 2001 — Ahmed Rashid of Pakistan is a member of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a project of the Center for Public Integrity. He is the Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review and The Daily Telegraph of London. This is an excerpt from his book "Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia" (Yale University Press).

Among these thousands of foreign recruits was a young Saudi student, Osama Bin Laden, the son of a Yemeni construction magnate, Mohammed Bin Laden, who was a close friend of the late King Faisal and whose company had become fabulously wealthy on the contracts to renovate and expand the Holy Mosques of Mecca and Medina. The ISI had long wanted Prince Turki Bin Faisal, the head of Istakhbarat, the Saudi Intelligence Service, to provide a Royal Prince to lead the Saudi contingent in order to show Muslims the commitment of the Royal Family to the jihad. Only poorer Saudis, students, taxi drivers and Bedouin tribesmen had so far arrived to fight. But no pampered Saudi prince was ready to rough it out in the Afghan mountains. Bin Laden, although not a royal, was close enough to the royals and certainly wealthy enough to lead the Saudi contingent. Bin Laden, Prince Turki and [Lieutenant] General [Hameed] Gul [head of the ISI] were to become firm friends and allies in a common cause. The centre for the Arab-Afghans [Filipino Moros, Uzbeks from Soviet Central Asia, Arabs from Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and Uighurs from Xinjiang in China who had all come to fight with the Mujaheddin] was the offices of the World Muslim League and the Muslim Brotherhood in the northern Pakistan city of Peshawar. The centre was run by Abdullah Azam, a Jordanian Palestinian whom Bin Laden had first met at university in Jeddah and revered as his leader. Azam and his two sons were assassinated by a bomb blast in Peshawar in 1989.
During the 1980s, Azam had forged close links with Hikmetyar and Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, the Afghan Islamic scholar, whom the Saudis had sent to Peshawar to promote Wahabbism. Saudi funds flowed to Azam and the Makhtab at Khidmat or Services Center, which he created in 1984 to service the new recruits and receive donations from Islamic charities. Donations from Saudi Intelligence, the Saudi Red Crescent, the World Muslim League and private donations from Saudi princes and mosques were channelled through the Makhtab. A decade later, the Makhtab would emerge at the center of a web of radical organizations that helped carry out the World Trade Center bombing and the bombings of US embassies in Africa in 1998....
His father backed the Afghan struggle and helped fund it, so when Bin Laden decided to join up, his family responded enthusiastically. He first traveled to Peshawar in 1980 and met the Mujaheddin leaders, returning frequently with Saudi donations for the cause until 1982, when he decided to settle in Peshawar. He brought in his company engineers and heavy construction equipment to help build roads and depots for the Mujaheddin. In 1986, he helped build the Khost tunnel complex, which the CIA was funding as a major arms storage depot, training facility and medical center for the Mujaheddin, deep under the mountains close to the Pakistan border."

Nothing you quoted shows that the CIA trained or funded Osama.

The quotes show the CIA knew of Osama, they show that the CIA did fund/train the same Mujaheddin that Osama funded. Show me where it states that the CIA specifically funded and/or trained Osama.

Also, the USA has never supported the Taliban. As I discussed, it is entirely possible (even probable) that CIA-trained Mujaheddin ended up in the Taliban. This does not mean that there was any endorsement of the Taliban.

ETA:

DR, I agree that there is a massive difference between funding/training the Mujaheddin during the Soviet invasion and supporting the Taliban. My purpose was to clarify for the conspiracy theorists that there was a degree of separation between the concept of "CIA funds Afghanis" and "CIA funds the Taliban".

ETA 2: Besides, I watched all of Rambo III and Rambo never once encountered Osama so I figure the US can't possible have funded the guy

I don't care about the little side issue of the Taliban. In fact I never said a word about it, or quoted anyone saying anything about it.

Reread the quotes. EVERY single article directly states the CIA not only knew about him. Most state they trained him or funded him. Several even state the specific agent who trained him.

From the CIA itself. (I cannot link directly to the document, nor cut and paste from it as it is a scanned document, but it can be found on the CIA freedom of information act website here, under the title INTERNATIONAL CRIME THREAT ASSESSMENT created 12/1/2000.

From pages 16-17 of the publication (and page 19-20 of the file containing the publication).

quote:
Islamic terrorist groups with vague international agendas have been a growing threat in recent years. These groups are sometimes loosely, sometimes draw their membership from communities in several different countries, and obtain support from an informal international network of like minded extremists rather than state-sponsors of terrorism. Many of these terrorists met while fighting against the Soviets in Afganistan or have since recieved millitary and explosives training there.

* The group led by Razmi Yosef, the convicted mastermind behind the world trade center bombing [ed. note - refers to the 1992 bombing], and the network maintained by Afghan terrorist Usoma Bin Laden are prime examples of this evolution of the international terrorist threat

Though it is no smoking gun that we trained Bin Laden specificly, there is clearly a fair amount of blowback in that many of the mujahadeen that we supported during the Soviet invasion of Afganistan may have sown the seeds of the Taliban who came to power after the colapse of the soviet empire.

Of course, we have supported other tyrants in the past (Saddam comes to mind, but as we all know - there was no connection between Saddam and the Taliban nor bin laden.), so it should come as no suprise that sometimes we do create (or at least feed) monsters who come back to bite us.

Reread the quotes. EVERY single article directly states the CIA not only knew about him. Most state they trained him or funded him. Several even state the specific agent who trained him.

Childishness aside, I worked under the assumption that you quoted the most damning paragraphs from your cites. Therefore I took it that if those quoted passages from your cites did not show a link then neither would the rest of the articles you cited.

Let me repeat myself, nothing that you have quoted in your original post demonstrates a link between Osama & the CIA. The first quote you gave shows that Osama and the CIA supported Afghani mujadheddin. It does not say the CIA supported Osama. It does not say Osama received his training from the CIA.

Your second quote refers to giving Osama "free rein"... which simply means the CIA did not interfere with Osama's actions in any way. Then it goes on to show that Azzam (who was not Osama) was killed and that there was suspicion that he was either killed by the CIA or was CIA himself. Yet, beyond speculation it really doesn't confirm anything in that regard.

The next quote (from Janes) states that Osama bin Laden was "one of many" beneficiaries from the war against Moscow. Note that it doesn't specifically state "funded by CIA" or "trained by CIA"... his benefit may have been from having CIA-trained mujadheddin joining his ranks.

The next one is about Osama forming Al Qaeda -- again, it states the US knew about it. Knowing about it is vastly different from endorsing or funding something.

Of the very lengthy final quote, the only reference to Osama and the CIA is that he helped build the Khost tunnel complex which the CIA was funding. Note that it says Osama's company helped... which to my terribly poor reading skills, suggests that he was not alone in working on building the tunnels.

Again, to my miserable reading comprehension, this means that the CIA was funding whichever companies were working on the complex and one of those happened to be a construction company run by Osama. The complex was built as a centre for the mujaheddin, which Osama never was.

I thought Osama bin Lader was a multi-millionaire in his own right. Why would he need the CIA to fund him? If I understand affairs correctly, he himself was funding Mujaheddin units.

It is, however, likely that the CIA was cooperating with him, selling weaponry to his units, giving information to his intelligence units, etc.

I see OBL as very similar to Theodore Roosevelt in the Spanish American War: he used his family money to equip a unit which he then led, but his skills were more organizational and financial than military.

I think that part of the larger problem here is that the anti-"anti-American"-ists would like to reduce a fairly complex cloud of foreign policy criticisms to a single straw man: Osama was on payroll from the CIA, here's his W-4.

There are probably people saying that, but there are also people saying that NASA faked the comet Hale-Bopp. This should not be used to distract from a serious criticism, like whether or not NASA is a good use of public funds.

The serious conversation here is whether or not US foreign policy in the Middle East has been an actual expression of our national interests, or whether or not it has been subordinated to short-sighted goals of a certain power elite. And the facts at hand are:

*The US supported the muj against the Soviets in a long and bitter war.
*The immense social and infrastructure costs of the war, and the power vested in fanatic ideologues, helped give rise to the Taliban (domestically) who created a climate hospitable to international terrorism.
*Having met our short-term objectives in Afghanistan in the early 1980s, the US more or less withdrew from active involvement in that country, and thus allowed the Taliban to be created.

The "anti-Americanist" point here is not that we are guilty, or culpable, or evil, or whatever. It is that some of our problems in 2006 could have been reasonably anticipated--and in fact, *were* anticipated--as possible results of our policy back in 1980. We can't fix that, but hopefully we can learn from it.

Unfortunately, I see very little evidence that we are learning from it. Right now, it is considered more or less unpatriotic to suggest that the Iraq War is creating a social trajectory in the region anathema to US interests.

The Afghanistan war did not start by the Soviet occupation. It was originally an uprising of radical Muslims against the secular government, which was trying to implement such controversial policies as equal opportunities for woman. Unfortunately, it was aligned with the Soviet Union, which send in troops to help prop up the government. USA started to arm and train the mujahadeen for no other reason than to help the USSR’s enemy. During this conflict large number of small children were orphaned and many were sent to schools run by fanatical Muslims which brought them up to be also fanatical Muslims. These children grew up and became Taliban.

During the war Osama would have been quite a prominent person in Afghanistan. Somehow I cannot imagine Saudi multimillionaire constructing roads and funding all sort of things would not stand out of the crowd. He would have been very well known to the CIA, and if they did not deal with him, I would have to wonder why?

During the war Osama was one of many foreigners who were at best considered a nuisance. He used his experience to tell tall tales of his exploits back home and that eventually made him a celebrity there but in Afghanistan he was a real nobody. (It wasn't until much later that he was even known there.) I'd like to know the answer to the opposite question: Why would the CIA deal with a rich brat who went to Afghanistan looking to be a martyr but didn't really do much but get in the way?

Correct. And I don't think anyone can argue that the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan was an unfortunate, unintended, and unforseen consequence of our actions in Afghanistan in the 1980s, among other contributing factors.

There's still a HUGE (and unreasonable) leap, however, between that fact and the arguement that the US created/supported the Taliban, Bin Laden, etc. And despite all the shady allusions and misleading cites in this thread, I still have yet to see any direct evidence to back up these assertions.

    WOOLWICH: ADEBOLAJO WAS PAID BY MI6



    Jeremiah, younger brother of the Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo. 

    The Daily Mail has discovered that:

    Michael Adebolajo's younger brother Jeremiah 'was paid thousands by MI6 to spy in the Middle East'

    Jeremiah Adebolajo, 26, teaches at a university in Saudi Arabia.

    Reportedly, MI6 recruited him as a spy.

    He was flown business class to five-star hotels and handed cash.

    http://www.dailymail.

    The source for the Mail is the Adebolajo family and a well-placed person who contacted The Mail on Sunday.

    Jeremiah Adebolajo returned to Britain 'this week'.

    Jeremiah's sister, Blessing Adebolajo, 32, says Jeremiah was approached by MI6 while he was working at the University of Ha’il.


    University of Ha'il

    A friend of Jeremiah said: "They told Jeremiah to go to certain hotels, order a cup of tea and wait for his contact.

    "On these occasions he was handed £300, and was paid to fly first-class and stay in five-star hotels."

    Blessing says MI6 bought a ticket so Jeremiah could fly to an Intercontinental hotel in another Middle East country (believed to be the United Arab Emirates) and that he was given local currency worth more than £1,000.

    The Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo is thought to have been working for MI5-MI6 for many years.

    When the police in Kenya arrested Michael in 2010, MI5-MI6 are said to have organised his release.


    Kirk Redpath, friend of Michael Adebolajo

    The Woolwich terror suspect Michael Adebolajo was best friends with Lance Corporal Kirk Redpath  who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007.

    Michael was consoled by friends at the funeral of Lance Corporal Kirk Redpath.

    Woolwich suspect Michael Adebolajo was best friends with a soldier blown up in Basra

    Michael may have joined MI5 in 2007. In 2010 he was apparently in Kenya working for MI5.


    Michael Adebolajo may have joined MI5 because of what Moslems were doing to his fellow Christians in Nigeria.

    Michael grew up in a well-to-to Christian family.

    He lived near Kirk Redpath in Romford.

    They were classmates at Marshalls Park School.

    They spent time at each other's houses after school.

    Kirk’s brother Grant has said that Michael was "the most laid-back, nicest guy in the world.

    Justine Rigden, a hairdresser, dated Michael.

    She has said: "He was really friendly and really polite.... He used to do a bit of MC-ing, rapping....He was just this normal regular boy."

    Michael grew up in a Christian home with his three siblings and parents Tina, a social worker, and Anthony, a nurse. 


    A church attacked in Nigeria. Michael may have joined MI5 to help counter Islamic extremism.

    Michael is from an academic family in West Africa, where Christians are highly unlikely to convert to Islam, unless as a pretence.

    Michael attended university and may have been recruited there by MI5.

    MI5 may have asked Michael to infiltrate Moslem groups.

    100 Moslems killed in a Nigeria mosque attack. 

    Many thanks to Carol A. Valentine for the link.



    Michael Adebolajo released from Kenya, with the help of MI5?

    Michael Adebolajo, one of the alleged 'Woolwich terrorists', is reported to have become a father just days before the Woolwich attack.

    In 2010, Michael Adebolajo may have been sent by the UK security services to work for al Qaeda in Somalia.

    (Al Qaeda is now being used to try to topple President Assad of Syria)

    Reportedly, Michael Adebolajo was among a group arrested in Kenya en route to Somalia in 2010.

    Michael Adebolajo was arrested in Kenya under suspicion of being at the centre of a CIA-al-Qaeda-inspired plot in 2010.

    MI5 'tried to recruit' Woolwich attack suspect Michael Adebolajo

    He was one of seven people, which included two secondary-school boys, arrested by Kenyan police in November 2010.


    7/7 London Bombs mastermind Aswat (right) reportedly worked for MI6. London Bombs - unanswered questions

    The Kenyan press reported that Michael Adebolajo was "suspected of masterminding the racket".

    Michael Adebolajo appears to have had the backing of the UK government because he was deported back to Britain without charge.

    After returning from Kenya, members of his family said he was constantly in contact with MI5 agents.

    MI5 'tried to recruit' Woolwich attack suspect Michael Adebolajo

    Adel Abdul Majid was implicated in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat (above). In 1991, he fled to Britain and immediately was granted political asylum. Terrorists working for MI6

    BBC Newsnight may have been used to create disinformation on the MI5 connection.

    'A friend of Michael Adebolajo' told the BBC that MI5 had attempted to recruit Michael Adebolajo six months ago.

    It is more likely that Michael Adebolajo had been an asset of MI5 for many years.

    When Michael Adebolajo was arrested in kenya, his family had been told by the Kenyan authorities that he would be hanged or beheaded.

    But he was freed to return to Britain.

    "The decision has raised questions over official involvement in Mr Adebolajo's release – and the true extent of his connections with the intelligence services since he returned home to the UK."

    Yasmin, the pole dancer, and daughter of Omar Bakri Mohammed.

    The Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo was taught about Islamic militancy by the preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed.

    Omar Bakri Mohammed's busty blonde daughter, Yasmin, is a topless pole-dancer.

    Yasmin, a single mother, performs in London clubs.

    She told The Sun: I'm willing to go topless if the venue is right.'

    Reportedly, 'she has been leading a wild double life thrashing about on stage in pole dancing clubs and drinking and partying like there's no tomorrow.'

    Reportedly, Bakri Mohammed personally paid for Yasmin to have a breast enlargement operation.

    According to The Sun, he paid £4,000 in cash 'for the operation that launched her career as a pole dancer'.

    Revealed: Radical cleric Bakri's pole-dancer daughter


    Bakri, who is believed to work for MI6 and MI5.

    Bakri was born in Syria, where he became involved in the Muslim Brotherhood, which reportedly is run by MI6.

    At one time Bakri was friends with London-based Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri, a former nightclub bouncer.

    Bakri Mohammed helped develop the 'Al Muhajiroun' organisation in the UK said to be run by the spooks. 


    The Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo joined Al-Muhajiroun in 2003.

    Former Justice Dept. prosecutor and Terror expert John Loftus revealed that the so called Al-Muhajiroun group were recruited by MI6 to fight in Kosovo.

    Loftus stated that "back in the late 1990s, the leaders all worked for British intelligence in Kosovo. 

    "Believe it or not, British intelligence actually hired some Al-Qaeda guys to help defend the Muslim rights in Albania and in Kosovo."

    DANGEROUS IMMIGRANTS; DANGEROUS MOSLEMS?

    The girlfriend of the Woolwich 'terrorist' Michael Adebolajo

     From 1986 to 1996, Omar Bakri Muhammad ran  Hizb ut Tahrir

    An article entitled Hizb ut Tahrir and the MI6 connection tells us:

    Hizb ut Tahrir (HuT) has close ties to MI6, according to certain analysts.

    Experts believe that HuT is used by MI6 as part of the Anglo-American strategy to contain the influence of the Russians and Chinese in the Central Asian Republics.

    HuT is reportedly linked to the Muslim Brotherhood which has long been a front for the CIA and MI6.

    The Muslim Brotherhood has been used by MI6 and CIA to weaken independent governments in the Middle East.

    MI6 are the War Lords of the Drug Trade
    by James Casbolt
    from JamesCasbolt Website
    MI6 are the War Lords of the Drug Trade
     
    It may be a revelation to many people that the global drug trade is controlled and run by the intelligence agencies. In this global drug trade British intelligence reigns supreme.
     
    As intelligence insiders know MI-5 and MI-6 control many of the other intelligence agencies in the world (CIA, MOSSAD etc) in a vast web of intrigue and corruption that has its global power base in the city of London, the square mile. My name is James Casbolt, and I worked for MI-6 in 'black ops' cocaine trafficking with the IRA and MOSSAD in London and Brighton between 1995 and 1999.
     
    My father Peter Casbolt was also MI-6 and worked with the CIA and mafia in Rome, trafficking cocaine into Britain. My experience was that the distinctions of all these groups became blurred until in the end we were all one international group working together for the same goals. We were puppets who had our strings pulled by global puppet masters based in the city of London. Most levels of the intelligence agencies are not loyal to the people of the country they are based in and see themselves as 'super national'.

    The CIA operates under orders from British intelligence and was created by British intelligence in 1947.
     
    "...The CIA today is still loyal to the international bankers based in the city of London and the global elite aristocratic families like the Rothschild's and the Windsor's. Since it was first started, MI-6 has always brought drugs into Britain. They do not bring 'some' of the drugs into Britain but I would estimate MI-6 bring in around ninety percent of the drugs in.  They do this by pulling the strings of many organized crime and terrorist groups and these groups like the IRA are full of MI-6 agents....."

    http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_drugs02.htm#Mena Connection - Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA, Drug Smuggling
    Drugs for Guns Connection
    Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton, President George Bushanbd CIA Involvement
     
    by Paul DeRienzo
    from NCOIC Website
     
     
    An independent group of researchers in Arkansas are charging that Governor Bill Clinton is covering up an airport used by the CIA and major cocaine smugglers in a remote corner of the Ozark mountains.
     
    According to Deborah Robinson of In These Times, the Inter mountain Regional Airport in Mena, Arkansas continues to be the hub of operations for people like assassinated cocaine kingpin Barry Seal as well as government intelligence operations linked to arms and drug smuggling.

    In the 1980's, the Mena airport became one of the world's largest aircraft refurbishing centers, providing services to planes from many countries. Researchers claim that the largest consumers of aircraft refurbishing services are drug smugglers and intelligence agencies involved in covert activities. In fact, residents of Mena, Arkansas, have told reporters that former marine Lt. Colonel Oliver North was a frequent visitor during the 1980's.
     
    Eugene Hasenfus, a pilot who was shot down in a Contra supply plane over Nicaragua in 1986, was also seen in town renting cargo vehicles.

    A federal Grand Jury looking into activities at the Mena airport refused to hand down any indictments after drug running charges were made public. Deborah Robinson says that Clinton had "ignored the situation" until he began his presidential campaign." Clinton then said he would provide money for a state run investigation of the Mena airport.
     
    But according to Robinson, the promise of an investigation was never followed up by Clinton's staff. In fact, a local Arkansas state prosecutor blasted Clinton's promise of an investigation, comparing it to "spitting on a forest fire."

    Clinton's involvement in the drug and arms running goes even further than a mere cover-up of the deplorable activities that went on, and are still going on, at the airport in Mena. A federal mail fraud case against an Arkansas pilot-trainer who participated in illegal arms exports to Central America relied on a key Clinton staffer as a chief witness. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence when the CIA refused to allow the discussion of top secret information about the arms transfers.

    Terry Reed, a former employee of the CIA's Air America operation in Laos during the Indochina war, claims to have been recruited as a pilot trainer into the Iran operation by Oliver North. In an article written by David Gallis and published last year by Covert Action Information Bulletin, Reed said that in 1983 he had agreed to supply North's operatives with "certain items."

    In pursuit of the Reagan administration's Contra war against the Sandinistas, the CIA had planted mines in Nicaragua's harbors. In 1984, Congress passed the Boland Amendment, which cut off US aid to the Contras. According to Reed, it was during this period that North aided him to become involved in a covert operation called "Project Donation". Reed was told he would be reimbursed for supplying the Contras by insurance companies that were linked to North's operation.,

    Shortly afterwards, Reed reported the "theft" of Piper turbo-prop aircraft and he filed a $33,000 claim on which he eventually collected almost $7,000.

    In late 1985, Reed received a phone call from an Air America buddy, William Cooper, a pilot working with Southern Air Transport, another CIA front company. Cooper also was working with soon to be murdered drug kingpin Barry Seal at the same time he was flying re-supply missions for the Contras. In 1986, he was shot down and killed over Nicaragua along with co-pilot Wallace Sawyer. The plane's cargo-kicker, Eugene Hasenfus, parachuted into the arms of waiting Sandinista soldiers.
     
    Video images of his capture spanned the world and forced an airing of a tiny part of US covert operations.

    Sandinistas who recovered the downed cargo plane searched Cooper's pockets and found phone numbers linking the re-supply operation with Felix Rodriguez, an associate of George Bush, best known for murdering Che Guevara after his capture in Bolivia. To this day, Rodriguez, who works for the CIA, wears Che's watch as a trophy.

    Reed says that Cooper told him that the stolen Piper would soon be returned and that he should store it in a hanger at Mena until the Hasenfus mess blew over.
    "There was a lot of Contra stuff going on in Arkansas." said Reed, "it was the hub."
    Meanwhile, Reed went into business in Mexico with the blessing of Rodriguez, who was overseeing the Contra air re-supply operation in El Salvador. Reed's company used Mexico to export arms to the Contras, in violation of the Boland Amendment. Reed went down to Mexico and his operation continued for a year after the Iran-Contra story broke.

    According to Arkansas Committee researcher Mark Swaney, in the summer of 1987, even as the Contra-Gate hearings were going on in Congress, Terry Reed began to suspect they were using his front company for something other than smuggling weapons. One day, he was looking for a lathe in one of his warehouses near the airport in Guadalajara and he opened up one of the very large air freight shipping containers (they are about 28' long, about 7' high and about 8' wide), and he found it packed full of cocaine.

    Swaney reports that Reed realized he was in a very precarious situation because he was the only person on paper who had anything to do with the company set up to run guns to the Contras in Nicaragua out of Mexico and there was nobody to say that he did not know anything about what was going on. Reed decided he wasn't going to play the part of a patsy.

    Swaney says that Reed's contact man for the CIA in Mexico was Felix Rodriguez, whom Reed confronted. Reed said that he hadn't bargained for getting into narcotics smuggling and that he was dropping out all together. Soon afterward, his legal problems began.

    In a series of mysterious events, Reed was charged with mail fraud for claiming insurance for an aircraft that was used by North's network under Operation Donation. Reed, who was eventually acquitted of the charges, was picked up by the FBI after the missing plane was discovered in the Mena hanger where Reed had put the plane at Cooper's suggestion. The discovery was made by Clinton's security chief Buddy Young.
     
    Young testified that his discovery of the stolen plane was coincidental, an assertion federal Judge Frank Thiel said was unsupported by the facts.

    Reed was charged with mail fraud for collecting insurance on the plane, but the CIA prevented prosecutors from releasing information they called "top, top secret," about the Rodriguez-North, Southern Air Transport connection. In November 1990, the prosecution admitted they couldn't prosecute Reed without the secret documents and Judge Thiel ordered Reed acquitted on all of the charges.

    Allegations of Governor Bill Clinton's extra-marital sexual exploits originated with a 1990 lawsuit by Larry Nichols, a former Arkansas state employee. Nichols was fired by Clinton in 1988 after reporters discovered Nichols had been lobbying on behalf of the Contras from his office as head of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority.

    The suit claimed that Clinton had lied when he said Nichols was fired because he was phoning the Contras directly from his state office. Nichols claimed he only called Washington to lobby on behalf of the Contras. In the suit, Nichols also revealed the affair between Clinton and office secretary Gennifer Flowers.

    The suit was dropped by Nichols on January 25, 1992, after Gennifer Flowers went public with her story of the affair. Nichols told reporters that he decided to drop the suit after meeting with Clinton security chief Buddy Young - the same man who found Terry Reed's missing Piper aircraft at the Mena airport.

    According to Arkansas Committee researcher Mark Swaney, Nichols said that Young had told him he was a "dead man," prompting Nichols to drop the suit. In public, Nichols says he dropped the suit because "the media have made a circus out of this thing and it's gone way too far."

    In court documents recently released by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, it has been revealed that Jackson Stephens, a billionaire banker in Little Rock, Arkansas, and one of presidential candidate Bill Clinton's main supporters, may have played a key role in setting up the illegal purchase by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) of two American banks.

    Both First American National Bank, the largest bank in Washington DC, and Georgia National Bank, were purchased by BCCI front man and Stephens business associate Gaith Pharon. Stephens' family bank, the Worthern National Bank, recently extended a two million dollar loan to the Clinton campaign.

    Stephens, who is an avid golfer and chairman of the prestigious Masters Tournament Committee, is named in the court records as having brought Pharon together with Stephens' close friend Bert Lance. Lance was a former cabinet official under President Jimmy Carter who was forced to resign due to a banking scandal.

    According to newspaper reports, BCCI founder Agha Hasan Abedi was introduced to Lance by Stephens. Stephens, Lance, and First American Bank director and longtime Democratic party power broker Clark Clifford all maintain that they did not know the group of Pakistani and Saudi investors headed by Pharon, which they were dealing with, were actually fronting for BCCI. Clinton's staff has refused to comment.

    Bill Clinton's environmental record has been as dismal as his record in the Iran-Contra scandal.
     
    He has supported the incineration of extremely toxic chemicals at a site in the city of Jacksonville, 20 miles from Little Rock, that is reputed to be the most polluted spot in the United States. Jacksonville was the site of Hercules Inc., a company that produced the two components of Agent Orange, 2,4 D, which is still used in agriculture and 2,4,5,T, which was banned by the federal government in 1983 as a carcinogen.
     
    Agent Orange was used to defoliate Vietnamese forests during the Indochina war and its production yields the by-product dioxin, the most toxic chemical known on earth.

    Hercules sold the operation in 1976 to Vertac Inc., which closed the plant in 1987, leaving behind 20,000 barrels of the chemicals. Gov. Bill Clinton supports a plan to incinerate the waste, a plan that is being vigorously opposed by the residents of Jacksonville.

    In These Times reporter Deborah Robinson says that Clinton has allowed Arkansas to become a dumping ground.
    "Arkansas" she says, "is still kind of a backwoods state and there's a lot of room for someone to set up whatever they want to set up and Arkansas has been exploited by people who have things they want to do that they might no get away with somewhere else."
    Robinson adds,
    "there are a lot of questions about what Somebody like Clinton would do for a country when he couldn't do anything for his own state."

    Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and writer, known for his advocacy of psychedelic drugs. During a time when drugs such as LSD and psilocybin were legal, Leary conducted experiments at Harvard University under the Harvard Psilocybin Project, resulting in the Concord Prison Experiment and the Marsh Chapel Experiment. Both studies produced useful data, but Leary and his associate Richard Alpert were fired from the university nonetheless because of the public controversy surrounding their research.
    Leary believed LSD showed therapeutic potential for use in psychiatry. He popularized catchphrases that promoted his philosophy such as "turn on, tune in, drop out" (a phrase given to Leary by Marshall McLuhan); "set and setting"; and "think for yourself and question authority". He also wrote and spoke frequently about transhumanist concepts involving space migration, intelligence increase and life extension (SMI²LE), and developed the eight-circuit model of consciousness in his book Exo-Psychology (1977).
    During the 1960s and 1970s, he was arrested often enough to see the inside of 29 different prisons worldwide. President Richard Nixon once described Leary as "the most dangerous man in America".[1]
    Early life and education
    Leary was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, the only child[1] of an Irish-American dentist who abandoned his wife Abigail Ferris when Leary was 13.[citation needed] He graduated from Classical High School in that western Massachusetts city.
    He attended the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts from September 1938 to June 1940. Under pressure from his father, he then accepted an appointment as a cadet in the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. In the first months as a "plebe", he was given numerous demerits for rule infractions and then got into serious trouble for failing to report infractions by other cadets when on supervisory duty. He was alleged to have gone on a drinking binge and then failing to "come clean" about it. For violating the Academy's honor code, he was asked by the Honor Committee to resign. When he refused, he was "silenced"; that is, shunned and ignored by his fellow cadets as a tactic to pressure him to resign. Even though he was acquitted by a court-martial, the silencing measures continued in full force, as well as the onslaught of demerits for minuscule rule infractions. When the treatment continued in his sophomore year, his mother appealed to a family friend, United States Senator David I. Walsh, head of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, who conducted a personal investigation. Behind the scenes, the Honor Committee revised its position and announced that it would abide by the court-martial verdict. Leary then resigned and was honorably discharged by the Army.[2] Almost 50 years later, he said it was "the only fair trial I've had in a court of law".[3]
    To the chagrin of his family, Leary elected to transfer to the University of Alabama in the fall of 1941 because of the institution's expeditious response to his application. Although he enrolled in the university's ROTC program, maintained top grades, and began to cultivate academic interests in psychology and biology, he was expelled a year later for spending a night in the female dormitory. Having lost his student deferment in the midst of World War II, Leary was drafted into the United States Army and reported for basic training at Fort Eustis in January 1943. In lieu of further officer training, Leary remained in the non-commissioned track and enrolled in an extended academic program for psychology majors that included external studies at Georgetown University and Ohio State University; following retroactive suspension and eventual reinstatement at the University of Alabama, he completed his degree via correspondence courses and graduated in August 1945. Shortly after his promotion to corporal in 1944, Leary was assigned to Deshon General Hospital in Butler, Pennsylvania as a staff psychometrician largely due to the magnanimity of erstwhile professor Donald Ramsdell. He primarily worked with deaf patients at the hospital and served there for the remainder of the war. While stationed in Butler, Leary began to court Marianne Busch; they would marry in April 1945. Formally discharged at the rank of sergeant in January 1946, Leary earned the Good Conduct Medal, the American Defense Service Medal, the American Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal during his Army stint.[4]
    Following the resolution of the war, Leary decided to pursue an academic career. He received an M.S. degree in psychology at Washington State University in 1946 and his Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology at the University of California, Berkeley in 1950.[5] His Ph.D. dissertation was entitled "The Social Dimensions of Personality: Group Structure and Process." In 1947, Marianne gave birth to their first child, Susan, while he was working on his doctorate. A son, Jack, was born two years later. In 1952 the Leary family spent a year in Spain, subsisting on a research grant. A Berkeley colleague, Marv Freedman, later recalled, "Something had been stirred in him in terms of breaking out of being another cog in society...".[6]
    The new Ph.D. stayed on at Berkeley as an assistant professor from 1950 to 1955. Despite his nascent professional success, his marriage was strained by multiple infidelities and mutual alcohol abuse. Marianne would eventually commit suicide in 1955, leaving him to raise their son and daughter alone.[1] He described himself during this period as "an anonymous institutional employee who drove to work each morning in a long line of commuter cars and drove home each night and drank martinis ... like several million middle-class, liberal, intellectual robots."[7][8]
    From 1955 to 1958, Leary was director of psychiatric research at the Kaiser Family Foundation. Subsiding on small research grants and insurance policies, Leary—determined to write the great American novel—and his children relocated to Europe in 1958. Overcome by indigence during an unproductive stay in Florence, Leary soon returned to academia in the fall of 1959 as a lecturer in clinical psychology at Harvard University at the behest of Berkeley colleague Frank Barron and David McClelland. He would reside with his children in nearby Newton, Massachusetts. In addition to his teaching duties, Leary was affiliated with the Harvard Center for Research in Personality under McClelland and oversaw the Harvard Psilocybin Project & concomitant experiments in conjunction with assistant professor Richard Alpert. In 1963, Leary was terminated for failing to give his scheduled class lectures[9] against his position that he had fulfilled his teaching obligations in full. The decision to dismiss him may have been influenced by his role in the popularity of then-legal psychedelic substances among Harvard students and faculty members.[10]
    His early work in psychology expanded on the research of Harry Stack Sullivan and Karen Horney regarding the importance of interpersonal forces in mental health, focusing on how understanding interpersonal processes might facilitate diagnosing disorders and identifying human personality patterns. He developed a complex and respected interpersonal circumplex model, published in The Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality,[11] demonstrating how psychologists could methodically use Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scores to predict respondents' interpersonal response characteristics, or ways they might respond to various interpersonal situations.
     
    Psychedelic experiments and experiences
    On May 13, 1957, Life magazine published an article by R. Gordon Wasson that documented the use of psilocybin mushrooms in religious rites of the indigenous Mazatec people of Mexico.[12] Anthony Russo, a colleague of Leary's, experimented with his own use of psychedelic (or entheogenic) psilocybe mexicana mushrooms on a trip to Mexico and told Leary about it. In August 1960,[13] Leary traveled to Cuernavaca, Mexico with Russo and consumed psilocybin mushrooms for the first time, an experience that drastically altered the course of his life.[14] In 1965, Leary commented that he had "learned more about ... (his) brain and its possibilities ... [and] more about psychology in the five hours after taking these mushrooms than ... in the preceding 15 years of studying and doing research in psychology."[14]
    Returning from Mexico to Harvard in 1960, Leary and his associates, notably Richard Alpert (later known as Ram Dass), began a research program known as the Harvard Psilocybin Project. The goal was to analyze the effects of psilocybin on human subjects (first prisoners, and later Andover Newton Theological Seminary students) from a synthesized version of the then-legal drug — one of two active compounds found in a wide variety of hallucinogenic mushrooms, including psilocybe mexicana. The compound in question was produced by a process developed by Albert Hofmann of Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, who was famous for synthesizing LSD.
    Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, after hearing about the Harvard research project, asked to join the experiments. Leary was inspired by Ginsberg's enthusiasm, and the two shared an optimism in the benefit of psychedelic substances to help people "turn on" (i.e., discover a higher level of consciousness). Together they began a campaign of introducing other intellectuals and artists to psychedelics.[15]
    Leary argued that psychedelic substances, in proper doses and in a stable setting, could, under the guidance of psychologists, alter behavior in beneficial ways not easily attainable through regular therapy. His research focused on treating alcoholism and reforming criminals. Many of his research subjects told of profound mystical and spiritual experiences which they said permanently, and very positively, altered their lives. According to Leary's autobiography Flashbacks, after 300 professors, graduate students, writers and philosophers had taken LSD, 75% reported the experience as one of the most educational and revealing ones of their lives.
    The Concord Prison Experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of psilocybin combined with psychotherapy on rehabilitation of released prisoners. After being guided through the psychedelic experience, or "trips," by Leary and his associates, 36 prisoners were reported to have repented and sworn to give up future criminal activity. Compared to the average recidivism rate of 60 percent for American prisoners in general, the recidivism rate for those involved in Leary's project dropped to 20 percent. The experimenters concluded that long-term reduction in overall criminal recidivism rates could be effected with a combination of psilocybin-assisted group psychotherapy (inside the prison) along with a comprehensive post-release follow-up support program modeled on Alcoholics Anonymous. These conclusions were later contested in a follow-up study on the basis of time differences monitoring the study group vs. the control group and differences between subjects re-incarcerated for parole violations and those imprisoned for new crimes. The researchers concluded that statistically only a slight improvement could be attributed to psilocybin in contrast to the significant improvement reported by Leary and his colleagues.[16]
    Leary and Alpert founded the International Foundation for Internal Freedom in 1962 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This was run by Lisa Bieberman (now known as Licia Kuenning),[17] a disciple of Leary[18] and one of his many lovers.[19][20] Their research attracted so much public attention that many who wanted to participate in the experiments had to be turned away due to the high demand. To satisfy the curiosity of those who were turned away, a black market for psychedelics sprang up near the Harvard campus.[21]
    According to Andrew Weil, Leary was fired for not giving his required lectures while Alpert was fired for allegedly giving psilocybin to an undergraduate in an off-campus apartment.[21][22] This version is supported by the words of Harvard University president Nathan Marsh Pusey, who released the following statement on May 27, 1963:
    On May 6, 1963, the Harvard Corporation voted, because Timothy F. Leary, lecturer on clinical psychology, has failed to keep his classroom appointments and has absented himself from Cambridge without permission, to relieve him from further teaching duty and to terminate his salary as of April 30, 1963.[9]
    In 1967, Leary engaged in a televised debate with Jerry Lettvin of MIT.[23]
    Leary's activities interested siblings Peggy, Billy and Tommy Hitchcock, heirs to the Mellon fortune, who in 1963 helped Leary and his associates acquire a rambling mansion on an estate in Millbrook (near the city of Poughkeepsie) (the site of Vassar College), where they continued their experiments. Leary later wrote:
    We saw ourselves as anthropologists from the 21st century inhabiting a time module set somewhere in the dark ages of the 1960s. On this space colony we were attempting to create a new paganism and a new dedication to life as art.[24]
    The Millbrook estate was later described by Luc Sante of The New York Times as:
    the headquarters of Leary and gang for the better part of five years, a period filled with endless parties, epiphanies and breakdowns, emotional dramas of all sizes, and numerous raids and arrests, many of them on flimsy charges concocted by the local assistant district attorney, G. Gordon Liddy.[25]
    Others contest this characterization of the Millbrook estate; for instance, in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Tom Wolfe portrays Leary as interested only in research and not in using psychedelics merely for recreational purposes. According to "The Crypt Trip" chapter of Wolfe's book, when Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters visited the residence the Pranksters did not even see Leary, who was away on a three-day trip. According to Wolfe, Leary's group even refused to give the Pranksters LSD.
    In 1964, Leary coauthored a book with Alpert and Ralph Metzner called The Psychedelic Experience based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. In it, they wrote:
    A psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, DMT, etc. Of course, the drug does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key — it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures.[citation needed]
    Repeated FBI raids ended the Millbrook era. Regarding a 1966 raid by Liddy, Leary told author and Prankster Paul Krassner, "He was a government agent entering our bedroom at midnight. We had every right to shoot him. But I've never owned a weapon in my life. I have never had and never will have a gun around."
    On September 19, 1966, Leary founded the League for Spiritual Discovery, a religion declaring LSD as its holy sacrament, in part as an unsuccessful attempt to maintain legal status for the use of LSD and other psychedelics for the religion's adherents based on a "freedom of religion" argument. (Although The Brotherhood of Eternal Love would subsequently consider Leary their spiritual leader, The Brotherhood did not evolve out of IFIF International Foundation for Internal Freedom.) On October 6, 1966, LSD was made illegal in the United States and controlled so strictly that not only were possession and recreational use criminalized, but all legal scientific research programs on the drug in the US were shut down as well.
    In 1966, Folkways Records recorded Leary reading from his book The Psychedelic Experience, and released the album The Psychedelic Experience: Readings from the Book "The Psychedelic Experience. A Manual Based on the Tibetan...".[26]
    During late 1966 and early 1967, Leary toured college campuses presenting a multimedia performance "The Death of the Mind" attempting an artistic replication of the LSD experience. He said the League for Spiritual Discovery was limited to 360 members and was already at its membership limit, but encouraged others to form their own psychedelic religions. He published a pamphlet in 1967 called Start Your Own Religion to encourage just that (see below under "writings").
    Leary was invited to attend the January 14, 1967 Human Be-In by Michael Bowen, the primary organizer of the event,[27] a gathering of 30,000 hippies in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park In speaking to the group, he coined the famous phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out". In a 1988 interview with Neil Strauss, he said that this slogan was "given to him" by Marshall McLuhan when the two had lunch in New York City, adding, "Marshall was very much interested in ideas and marketing, and he started singing something like, 'Psychedelics hit the spot / Five hundred micrograms, that's a lot,' to the tune of [the well-known Pepsi 1950s singing commercial]. Then he started going, 'Tune in, turn on, and drop out.'"[28]
    At some point in the late 1960s, Leary moved to California and made many new friends in Hollywood. "When he married his third wife, Rosemary Woodruff, in 1967, the event was directed by Ted Markland of Bonanza. All the guests were on acid."[1]
    In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Leary, in collaboration with the writer Brian Barritt, formulated his eight-circuit model of consciousness, in which he wrote that the human mind / nervous system consisted of seven circuits which, when activated, produce seven levels of consciousness. This model was first published in his short essay "The Seven Tongues of God". The system soon expanded to include an eighth circuit in a revised version first unveiled to the world in the rare 1973 pamphlet "Neurologic" — written with Joanna Leary while he was in prison — but was not exhaustively formulated until the publication of Exo-Psychology (by Leary) and in Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger in 1977. Wilson contributed to the model after befriending Leary in the early 1970s, and used it as a framework for further exposition in his book Prometheus Rising, among other works.
    Leary believed that the first four of these circuits ("the Larval Circuits" or "Terrestrial Circuits") are naturally accessed by most people in their lifetimes, triggered at natural transition points in life such as puberty. The second four circuits ("the Stellar Circuits" or "Extra-Terrestrial Circuits"), Leary wrote, were evolutionary offshoots of the first four that would be triggered at transition points we will acquire when we evolve further, and would equip us to encompass life in space, as well as the expansion of consciousness that would be necessary to make further scientific and social progress. Leary suggested that some people may "shift to the latter four gears", i.e., trigger these circuits artificially via consciousness-altering techniques such as meditation and spiritual endeavors such as yoga, or by taking psychedelic drugs specific to each circuit. An example of the information Leary cited as evidence for the purpose of the "higher" four circuits was the feeling of floating and uninhibited motion experienced by users of marijuana. In the eight-circuit model of consciousness, a primary theoretical function of the fifth circuit (the first of the four developed for life in outer space) is to allow humans to become accustomed to life in a zero- or low-gravity environment.

    Legal troubles

    Leary's first run-in with the law came on December 20, 1965. Leary decided to take his two children, Jack and Susan, and his girlfriend Rosemary Woodruff, to Mexico for an extended stay to write a book. On their return from Mexico to the United States, a U.S. Customs Service official found marijuana in Susan's underwear. They had crossed into Nuevo Laredo, Mexico in the late afternoon and discovered they would have to wait until morning for the appropriate visa for an extended stay. They decided to cross back into Texas to spend the night, and were on the U.S.-Mexico bridge, when Rosemary remembered she had a very small amount of marijuana in her possession. It was impossible to throw it out on the bridge, so Susan put it in her underwear.[29] After taking responsibility for the controlled substance, Leary was convicted of possession under the Marihuana Tax Act on March 11, 1966, sentenced to 30 years in prison, fined $30,000 and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment. Soon after, however, he appealed the case on the basis that the Marihuana Tax Act was, in fact, unconstitutional, as it required a degree of self-incrimination in blatant violation of the Fifth Amendment.
    On December 26, 1968, Leary was arrested again, in Laguna Beach, California, this time for the possession of two marijuana "roaches". Leary alleged they were planted by the arresting officer, but was convicted anyway. On May 19, 1969, The Supreme Court concurred with Leary in Leary v. United States, declared the Marihuana Tax Act unconstitutional and overturned his 1965 conviction.
    On that same day Leary announced his candidacy for Governor of California against the Republican incumbent, Ronald Reagan. His campaign slogan was "Come together, join the party." On June 1, 1969, Leary joined John Lennon and Yoko Ono at their Montreal Bed-In, and Lennon subsequently wrote Leary a campaign song called "Come Together".[30]
    On January 21, 1970, Leary received a 10-year sentence for his 1968 offense, with a further 10 added later while in custody for a prior arrest in 1965, for a total of 20 years to be served consecutively. On his arrival in prison, he was given psychological tests used to assign inmates to appropriate work details. Having designed some of these tests himself (including the "Leary Interpersonal Behavior Test"), Leary answered them in such a way that he seemed to be a very conforming, conventional person with a great interest in forestry and gardening.[31] As a result, he was assigned to work as a gardener in a lower-security prison from which he escaped in September 1970, saying that his non-violent escape was a humorous prank and leaving a challenging note for the authorities to find after he was gone.
    For a fee of $25,000, paid by The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, the Weathermen smuggled Leary and Rosemary out of the U.S. (and eventually into Algeria) in a pickup truck driven by Clayton Van Lydegraf.[32][33] He sought the patronage of Eldridge Cleaver and the remnants of the Black Panther Party's "government in exile" in Algeria, but after a short stay with them said that Cleaver had attempted to hold him and his wife hostage.
    In 1971 the couple fled to Switzerland, where they were sheltered and effectively imprisoned by a high-living arms dealer, Michel Hauchard, who claimed he had an "obligation as a gentleman to protect philosophers"; however, Hauchard actually intended to broker a surreptitious film deal.[25] In 1972 President Richard Nixon's attorney general, John Mitchell, persuaded the Swiss government to imprison Leary, which it did for a month but refused to extradite him back to the U.S. Leary and Rosemary separated later that year. Shortly thereafter, he became involved with Swiss-born British socialite Joanna Harcourt-Smith, a stepdaughter of financier Árpád Plesch. The couple "married" in a hotel two weeks after they were first introduced, and Harcourt-Smith would use his surname until their breakup in early 1977. They traveled to Vienna, then Beirut, and finally ended up in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1972. "Afghanistan had no extradition treaty with the United States, but this stricture did not apply to American airliners", Luc Sante wrote in a review of a biography of Leary.[25] That interpretation of the law was used by U.S. authorities to capture the fugitive. "Before Leary could deplane, he was arrested by an agent of the federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs."[25] Leary asserted a different story on appeal before the California Court of Appeal for the Second District, namely:[34]
    He testified further that he had a valid passport in Kabul and that it was confiscated while he was in a line at the American Embassy in Kabul a few days prior to the day when he boarded the airplane; after his passport was confiscated, he was taken to "Central Police Headquarters"; he did not attempt to contact the American Embassy; the Kabul police held him in custody and took him to a "police hotel"; the cousin of the King of Afghanistan came to see him and told him that it was a national holiday, that the King and the officials were out of Kabul, and that he (cousin) would get a lawyer and see that Leary "had a hearing"; on the morning the airplane left Kabul, officials of Afghanistan told him he was to leave Afghanistan; he told them he would not leave without a hearing and until he got his passport back; they said that the Americans had his passport; and he was taken to the airplane.
    At a stopover in the U.K., as Leary was being flown back to the U.S. in custody, he requested political asylum from Her Majesty's government to no avail. Back in America, he was held on five million dollars bail ($21.5 mil. in 2006) since Nixon had earlier labeled him as "the most dangerous man in America."[1] The judge at his remand hearing stated, "If he is allowed to travel freely, he will speak publicly and spread his ideas,"[35] Facing a total of 95 years in prison, Leary hired criminal defense attorney Bruce Margolin. He was sent to Folsom Prison in California, and put in solitary confinement.[36]
    Leary feigned cooperation with the FBI's investigation of the Weathermen and its radical attorneys by giving them information they already had and/or of little consequence; in response, the FBI gave him the code name "Charlie Thrush".[37] Leary would later claim, and members of the Weathermen would later support his claim, that no one was ever prosecuted based on any information he gave to the FBI.
    The Weather Underground, the radical left organization responsible for his escape, was not impacted by his testimony. Histories written about the Weather Underground usually mention the Leary chapter in terms of the escape for which they proudly took credit. Leary sent information to the Weather Underground through a sympathetic prisoner that he was considering making a deal with the FBI and waited for their approval. The return message was, "We understand."[38]
    Leary remained a productive writer in prison, sowing the seeds for his incarnation as a futurist lecturer with the StarSeed Series. In Starseed (1973), neurologic (1973) and Terra II: A Way Out (1974), Leary transitioned from Eastern philosophy and Aleister Crowley to a belief that outer space was a medium for spiritual transcendence as his principal frame of reference. Neurologic also added the idea of "time dilation/contraction" available to the activated brain through the cellular, DNA, or atomic level of reality. Terra II is his first detailed proposal for space colonization. Leary's muse peaked with Exo-Psychology, Neuropolitics, and Intelligence Agents.

    Last two decades[edit]

    Leary was released from prison on April 21, 1976 by Governor Jerry Brown. After briefly relocating to San Diego, he took up residence in Laurel Canyon and continued to write books and appear as a lecturer and (by his own terminology) "stand-up philosopher." In 1978 he married filmmaker Barbara Blum, also known as Barbara Chase, sister of actress Tanya Roberts. Leary adopted Blum's son Zachary and raised him as his own. During this period, Leary took on several godchildren, including actress Winona Ryder (the daughter of his archivist, Michael Horowitz) and current MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito.
    Leary began to foster an improbable friendship with former foe G. Gordon Liddy, the Watergate burglar and conservative radio talk-show host. They toured the lecture circuit in 1982 as ex-cons (Liddy having been imprisoned after high-level involvement in the Watergate scandal) debating different social and fiscal issues from gay rights and abortion to welfare and the environment, with Leary generally espousing left-wing views and Liddy continuing to conform to a right-wing stance. The tour generated massive publicity and considerable funds for both. The personal appearances, a successful documentary called Return Engagement chronicling the tour, and the concurrent release of the autobiography Flashbacks helped to return Leary to the spotlight. In 1988, Leary held a fundraiser for Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul.[39][40]
    While his stated ambition was to cross over to the mainstream as a Hollywood personality through proposed adaptations of Flashbacks and other projects, reluctant studios and sponsors ensured that it would never occur. Nonetheless, his extensive touring on the lecture circuit ensured him a very comfortable lifestyle by the mid-1980s, while his colorful past made him a desirable guest at A-list parties throughout the decade. He also attracted a more intellectual crowd including old confederate Robert Anton Wilson, science fiction writers William Gibson & Norman Spinrad, and rock musicians David Byrne & John Frusciante. In addition, he appeared in Johnny Depp and Gibby Haynes' 1994 film Stuff, which showed Frusciante's squalid living conditions at that time.
    While he continued his frequent drug use privately rather than evangelizing and proselytizing the use of psychedelics as he had in the 1960s, the latter-day Leary emphasized the importance of space colonization and an ensuing extension of the human lifespan while also providing a detailed explanation of the eight-circuit model of consciousness in books such as Info-Psychology, among several others. He adopted the acronym "SMI²LE" as a succinct summary of his pre-transhumanist agenda: SM (Space Migration) + I² (intelligence increase) + LE (Life extension), and credited L5 co-founder Keith Henson with helping develop his interest in space migration.

    Leary's colonization plan varied greatly through the years. According to his initial plan to leave the planet, 5,000 of Earth's most virile and intelligent individuals would be launched on a vessel (Starseed 1) equipped with luxurious amenities. This idea was inspired by the plotline of Paul Kantner's concept album Blows Against The Empire, which in turn was derived from Robert A. Heinlein's Lazarus Long series. In the 1980s, he came to embrace NASA scientist Gerard O'Neill's more realistic and egalitarian plans to construct giant Eden-like High Orbital Mini-Earths (documented in the Robert Anton Wilson lecture H.O.M.E.s on LaGrange) using existing technology and raw materials from the Moon, orbital rock and obsolete satellites.
    In the 1980s, Leary became fascinated by computers, the Internet, and virtual reality. Leary proclaimed that "the PC is the LSD of the 1990s" and admonished bohemians to "turn on, boot up, jack in".[41][42] He became a promoter of virtual reality systems,[43] and sometimes demonstrated a prototype of the Mattel Power Glove as part of his lectures (as in From Psychedelics to Cybernetics). Around this time he befriended a number of notable people in the field including Brenda Laurel, a pioneering researcher in virtual environments and human–computer interaction. With the rise of cyberdelic counter-culture, he served as consultant to Billy Idol in the production of the latter's 1993 album Cyberpunk.[44]
    In 1990, his daughter Susan committed suicide after years of mental instability. After his separation and subsequent divorce from Barbara in 1992, he ran with a new entourage of Baby-Boomer and Generation X artists and cultural figures including people as diverse as actors Johnny Depp, Susan Sarandon and Dan Aykroyd; Zach Leary; his grandson Ashley Martino and his granddaughters Dieadra Martino and Sara Brown; author Douglas Rushkoff; publisher Bob Guccione, Jr.; and goddaughters Ryder & artist/music–photographer Hilary Hulteen. Despite declining health, he maintained a regular schedule of public appearances through 1994.
    From 1989 on, Leary had begun to re-establish his connection to unconventional religious movements with an interest in altered states of consciousness. In 1989, he appeared with friend and book collaborator Robert Anton Wilson in a dialog entitled The Inner Frontier for the Association for Consciousness Exploration, a Cleveland-based group that had been responsible for his first Cleveland, Ohio appearance in 1979. After that, he appeared at the Starwood Festival, a major Neo-Pagan event run by ACE, in 1992 and 1993[45] (although his planned 1994 WinterStar Symposium appearance was cancelled due to his declining health). In front of hundreds of Neo-Pagans in 1992 he declared, "I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan."[46] He also collaborated with Eric Gullichsen on Load and Run High-tech Paganism: Digital Polytheism.[47] Shortly before his death on May 31, 1996, he recorded the "Right to Fly" album with Simon Stokes which was released in July 1996.
     
    Death
    In early 1995, Leary was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer. He did not reveal the condition to the press at that time, but did so after the death of Jerry Garcia in August.
    Leary authored an outline for a book called Design for Dying which tried to give a new perspective on death and dying. His entourage (as mentioned above) updated his website on a daily basis as a sort of proto-blog, noting his daily intake of various illicit and legal chemical substances with a predilection for nitrous oxide, LSD and other psychedelic drugs. He was also noted for his strong views against the use of drugs which "dull the mind" such as heroin, morphine and (aside from the occasional) alcohol. Noted for his trademark "Leary Biscuits" (a snack cracker with cheese and a small marijuana bud, briefly microwaved). His sterile house was completely redecorated by the staff, who had more or less moved in, with an array of surreal ornamentation. In his final months, thousands of visitors, well-wishers and old friends visited him in his California home. Until his last weeks, he gave many interviews discussing his new philosophy of embracing death.

    For a number of years, he was reportedly excited by the possibility of freezing his body in cryonic suspension, and he publicly announced in September 1988 that he had signed up with Alcor for such treatment[48] after having appeared at Alcor's grand opening the year before.[48] He did not believe he would be resurrected in the future, but did believe that cryonics had important possibilities even though he thought it had only "one chance in a thousand".[48] He called it his "duty as a futurist", and helped publicize the process and hoped it would work for his children and grandchildren if not for him, although he said he was "lighthearted" about it.[48] He was connected with two cryonic organizations, first Alcor and then CryoCare, one of which delivered a cryonic tank to his house in the months before his death, but subsequently requested that his body be cremated, which it was, and distributed among his friends and family.
    He died at 75 on May 31, 1996. His death was videotaped for posterity at his request, capturing his final words. During his final moments, he said, "Why not?" to his son Zachary. He uttered the phrase repeatedly, in different intonations, and died soon after. His last word, according to Zach, was "beautiful."
    The film Timothy Leary's Dead (1996) contains a simulated sequence in which he allows his bodily functions to be suspended for the purposes of cryonic preservation. His head is removed, and placed on ice. The film ends with a sequence showing the creation of the artificial head used in the film.
    Seven grams of Leary's ashes were arranged by his friend at Celestis to be buried in space aboard a rocket carrying the remains of 24 others including Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek), Gerard O'Neill (space physicist), and Krafft Ehricke (rocket scientist). A Pegasus rocket containing their remains was launched on April 21, 1997, and remained in orbit for six years until it burned up in the atmosphere.

    Influence

    Many consider Leary one of the most prominent figures during the counterculture of the 1960s, and since those times has remained influential on pop culture, literature, television, film and, especially, music.
    Leary coined the influential term Reality Tunnel, by which he means a kind of representative realism. The theory states that, with a subconscious set of mental filters formed from their beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets the same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder".
    His ideas influenced the work of his friend Robert Anton Wilson. This influence went both ways, and Leary admittedly took just as much from Wilson. Wilson's book Prometheus Rising was an in-depth, highly detailed and inclusive work documenting Leary's eight-circuit model of consciousness. Although the theory originated in discussions between Leary and a Hindu holy man at Millbrook, Wilson was one of the most ardent proponents of it and introduced the theory to a mainstream audience in 1977's bestselling Cosmic Trigger. In 1989, they appeared together on stage in a dialog entitled The Inner Frontier[49] hosted the Association for Consciousness Exploration,[50] (the same group that had hosted Leary's first Cleveland appearance in 1979[51][52]).
    World religion scholar Huston Smith was "turned on" by Leary after being introduced to him by Aldous Huxley the early 1960s. The experience was interpreted as a deeply religious one by Smith, and is described in detailed religious terms in Smith's later work Cleansing of the Doors of Perception. Smith asked Leary, to paraphrase, whether he knew the power and danger of what he was conducting research with. In Mother Jones Magazine, 1997, Smith commented:
    First, I have to say that during the three years I was involved with that Harvard study, LSD was not only legal but respectable. Before Tim went on his unfortunate careening course, it was a legitimate research project. Though I did find evidence that, when recounted, the experiences of the Harvard group and those of mystics were impossible to tell apart — descriptively indistinguishable — that's not the last word. There is still a question about the truth of the disclosure.[53]

    In popular culture[edit]

    Leary, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and others recording "Give Peace A Chance".
    The Psychedelic Experience was the inspiration for John Lennon's song "Tomorrow Never Knows" in The Beatles' album Revolver.[25] Leary once recruited Lennon to write a theme-song for his California gubernatorial campaign against Ronald Reagan (which was interrupted by his prison sentence due to cannabis possession), inspiring Lennon to come up with "Come Together", based on Leary's theme and catchphrase for the campaign.[54][55] Leary was also present when Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, recorded "Give Peace a Chance" during one of their bed-ins in Montreal, and is mentioned in the lyrics of the song.[56] The Moody Blues also recorded a track about Leary, "Legend of a Mind", on their 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord in which the refrain is "Timothy Leary's dead. No, no, no, no, he's outside looking in".[55]
    He is also referred to in the song "Let The Sunshine In" from the musical Hair. Also the single released by The Who, "The Seeker".
    While in exile in Switzerland, Leary and British writer Brian Barrett collaborated with the German band Ash Ra Tempel, and recorded the album Seven Up. He is credited as a songwriter, and his lyrics and vocals can be heard throughout the album.[57]
    The movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which portrays heavy psychedelic drug use, after a novel of Hunter S. Thompson, mentions Leary when the protagonist ponders over the meaning of the acid wave of the sixties:[58]
    ″We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.″

    Works

    Leary authored and co-authored over 20 books, and was featured on more than a dozen audio recordings. His acting career included over a dozen appearances in movies and television shows, over 30 appearances as himself in others, and produced and/or collaborated in both multimedia presentations and computer games.
    In June 2011, The New York Times reported that the New York Public Library had acquired Leary's personal archives, including papers, videotapes, photographs and other archival material from the Leary estate, including correspondence and documents relating to Allen Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, Arthur Koestler, G. Gordon Liddy and other prominent cultural figures. The collection will take approximately 18 months to process, and should be open to researchers by July 2013.[59]
