"Jupiter Island Florida"
It was announced yesterday on the radio that Jupiter Island is now the Richest City in America - it is extremely exclusive - the cheapest home - $4Mil - most are in the $40Mil range. The Bush family has (more than one) residence on Jupiter Island -

From http://www.tarpley.net/bush4.htm

Jupiter Island

The reorganization of the American government after World War II--the creation of the U.S.
Central Intelligence Agency along British lines, for example--had devastating consequences. We are
concerned here with only certain aspects of that overall transformation, those matters of policy and
family which gave shape to the life and mind of George Bush, and gave him access to power.

It was in these postwar years that George Bush attended Yale University, and was inducted into the
Skull and Bones society. The Bush family's home at that time was in Greenwich, Connecticut. But it
was just then that George's parents, Prescott and Dorothy Walker Bush, were wintering in a
peculiar spot in Florida, a place that is excluded from mention in literature originating from Bush
circles.

Certain national news accounts early in 1991 featured the observations on President Bush's
childhood by his elderly mother Dorothy. She was said to be a resident of Hobe Sound, Florida.
More precisely, the President's mother lived in a hyper-security arrangement created a half-century
earlier by Averell Harriman, adjacent to Hobe Sound. Its correct name is Jupiter Island.

During his political career, George Bush has claimed many different `` home '' states, including
Texas, Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut. It has not been expedient for him to claim Florida,
though that state has a vital link to his role in the world, as we shall see. And George Bush's home
base in Florida, throughout his adult life, has been Jupiter Island.

The unique, bizarre setup on Jupiter Island began in 1931, following the merger of W.A. Harriman
& Co. with the British-American firm Brown Brothers.

The reader will recall Mr. Samuel Pryor, the `` Merchant of Death. '' A partner with the Harrimans,
Prescott Bush, George Walker and Nazi boss Fritz Thyssen in banking and shipping enterprises,
Sam Pryor remained executive committee chairman of Remington Arms. In this period, the Nazi
private armies (S.A. and S.S.) were supplied with American arms--most likely by Pryor and his
company--as they moved to overthrow the German republic. Such gun-running as an instrument of
national policy would later become notorious in the `` Iran-Contra '' affair.

Samuel Pryor's daughter Permelia married Yale graduate Joseph V. Reed on the last day of 1927.
Reed immediately went to work for Prescott Bush and George Walker as an apprentice at W.A.
Harriman & Co.

During World War II, Joseph V. Reed had served in the `` special services '' section of the U.S.
Army Signal Corps. A specialist in security, codes and espionage, Reed later wrote a book entitled
Fun with Cryptograms.@s2

Now, Sam Pryor had had property around Hobe Sound, Florida, for some time. In 1931, Joseph
and Permelia Pryor Reed bought the entirety of Jupiter Island.

This is a typically beautiful Atlantic coast `` barrier island, '' a half-mile wide and nine miles long. The
middle of Jupiter Island lies just off Hobe Sound. The south bridge connects the island with the
town of Jupiter, to the north of Palm Beach. It is about 90 minutes by auto from Miami--today, a
few minutes by helicopter.

Early in 1991, a newspaper reporter asked a friend of the Bush family about security arrangements
on Jupiter Island. He responded, `` If you called up the White House, would they tell you how
many security people they had? It's not that Jupiter Island is the White House, although he Bush] does come down frequently. ''

But for several decades before Bush was President, Jupiter Island had an ordinance requiring the
registration and fingerprinting of all housekeepers, gardeners and other non-residents working on
the island. The Jupiter Island police department says that there are sensors in the two main roads
that can track every automobile on the island. If a car stops in the street, the police will be there
within one or two minutes. Surveillance is a duty of all employees of the town of Jupiter Island.
News reporters are to be prevented from visiting the island.@s3

To create this astonishing private club, Joseph and Permelia Pryor Reed sold land only to those
who would fit in. Permelia Reed was still the grande dame of the island when George Bush was
inaugurated President in 1989. In recognition of the fact that the Reeds know where all the bodies
are buried, President Bush appointed Permelia's son, Joseph V. Reed, Jr., chief of protocol for the
U.S. State Department, in charge of private arrangements with foreign dignitaries.

Averell Harriman made Jupiter Island a staging ground for his 1940s takeover of the U.S. national
security apparatus. It was in that connection that the island became possibly the most secretive
private place in America.

Let us briefly survey the neighborhood, back then in 1946-48, to see some of the uses various of
the residents had for the Harriman clique.

Residents on Jupiter Island

Jupiter Islander Robert A. Lovett,@s4, Prescott Bush's partner at Brown Brothers Harriman,
had been Assistant Secretary of War for Air from 1941 to 1945. Lovett was the leading American
advocate of the policy of terror-bombing of civilians. He organized the Strategic Bombing Survey,
carried out for the American and British governments by the staff of the Prudential Insurance
Company, guided by London's Tavistock Psychiatric Clinic.

In the postwar period, Prescott Bush was associated with Prudential Insurance, one of Lovett's
intelligence channels to the British secret services. Prescott was listed by Prudential as a director of
the company for about two years in the early 1950s.

Their Strategic Bombing Survey failed to demonstrate any real military advantage accruing from
such outrages as the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany. But the Harrimanites nevertheless
persisted in the advocacy of terror from the air. They glorified this as `` psychological warfare, '' a
part of the utopian military doctrine opposed to the views of military traditionalists such as Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.

Robert Lovett later advised President Lyndon Johnson to terror-bomb Vietnam. President George
Bush revived the doctrine with the bombing of civilian areas in Panama, and the destruction of
Baghdad.

On Oct. 22, 1945, Secretary of War Robert Patterson created the Lovett Committee, chaired by
Robert A. Lovett, to advise the government on the post-World War II organization of U.S.
intelligence activities. The existence of this committee was unknown to the public until an official
CIA history was released from secrecy in 1989. But the CIA's author (who was President Bush's
prep school history teacher; see chapter 5) gives no real details of the Lovett Committee's
functioning, claiming: `` The record of the testimony of the Lovett Committee, unfortunately, was not
in the archives of the agency when this account was written. ''@s5

The CIA's self-history does inform us of the advice that Lovett provided to the Truman cabinet, as
the official War Department intelligence proposal.

Lovett decided that there should be a separate Central Intelligence Agency. The new agency would
`` consult '' with the armed forces, but it must be the sole collecting agency in the field of foreign
espionage and counterespionage. The new agency should have an independent budget, and its
appropriations should be granted by Congress without public hearings.

Lovett appeared before the Secretaries of State, War and Navy on November 14, 1945. He
spoke highly of the FBI's work because it had `` the best personality file in the world. '' Lovett said
the FBI was expert at producing false documents, an art `` which we developed so successfully
during the war and at which we became outstandingly adept. '' Lovett pressed for a virtual
resumption of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in a new CIA.

U.S. military traditionalists centered around Gen. Douglas MacArthur opposed Lovett's proposal.

The continuation of the OSS had been attacked at the end of the war on the grounds that the OSS
was entirely under British control, and that it would constitute an American Gestapo.@s6

But the CIA was established in 1947 according to the prescription of Robert Lovett, of Jupiter
Island.

Charles Payson and his wife, Joan Whitney Payson, were extended family members of
Harriman's and business associates of the Bush family.

Joan's aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, was a relative of the Harrimans. Gertrude's son,
Cornelius Vanderbilt (`` Sonny '') Whitney, long-time chairman of Pan American Airways (Prescott
was a Pan Am director), became Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Air Force in 1947. Sonny's wife
Marie had divorced him and married Averell Harriman in 1930. Joan and Sonny's uncle, Air
Marshall Sir Thomas Elmhirst, was director of intelligence for the British Air Force from 1945 to
1947.

Joan's brother, John Hay (`` Jock '') Whitney, was to be ambassador to Great Britain from 1955 to
1961--when it would be vital for Prescott and George Bush to have such a friend. Joan's father,
grandfather and uncle were members of the Skull and Bones secret society.

Charles Payson organized a uranium refinery in 1948. Later he was chairman of Vitro Corp.,
makers of parts for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, equipment for frequency surveillance and
torpedo guidance, and other subsurface weaponry.

Naval warfare has long been a preoccupation of the British Empire. British penetration of the U.S.
Naval Intelligence service has been particularly heavy since the tenure of Joan's Anglophile
grandfather, William C. Whitney, as Secretary of the Navy for President Grover Cleveland. This
traditional covert British orientation in the U.S. Navy, Naval Intelligence and the Navy's included
service, the Marine Corps, forms a backdrop to the career of George Bush--and to the whole
neighborhood on Jupiter Island. Naval Intelligence maintained direct relations with gangster boss
Meyer Lansky for Anglo-American political operations in Cuba during World War II, well before
the establishment of the CIA. Lansky officially moved to Florida in 1953.@s7

George Herbert Walker, Jr. (Skull and Bones 1927), was extremely close to his nephew
George Bush, helping to sponsor his entry into the oil business in the 1950s. `` Uncle Herbie '' was
also a partner of Joan Whitney Payson when they co-founded the New York Mets baseball team in
1960. His son, G.H. Walker III, was a Yale classmate of Nicholas Brady and Moreau D. Brown
(Thatcher Brown's grandson), forming what was called the `` Yale Mafia '' on Wall Street.

Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. had been chairman of the finance committee of the Du Pont
Corporation (1930-40). In 1933, Carpenter oversaw Du Pont's purchase of Remington Arms from
Sam Pryor and the Rockefellers, and led Du Pont into partnership with the Nazi I.G. Farben
Company for the manufacture of explosives. Carpenter became Du Pont's president in 1940. His
cartel with the Nazis was broken up by the U.S. government. Nevertheless, Carpenter remained Du
Pont's president as the company's technicians participated massively in the Manhattan Project to
produce the first atomic bomb. He was chairman of Du Pont from 1948 to 1962, retaining
high-level access to U.S. strategic activities.

Walter Carpenter and Prescott Bush were fellow activists in the Mental Hygiene Society.
Originating at Yale University in 1908, the movement had been organized into the World Federation
of Mental Health by Montagu Norman, himself a frequent mental patient, former Brown Brothers
partner and Bank of England Governor. Norman had appointed as the federation's chairman,
Brigadier John Rawlings Rees, director of the Tavistock Psychiatric Clinic, chief psychiatrist and
psychological warfare expert for the British intelligence services. Prescott was a director of the
society in Connecticut; Carpenter was a director in Delaware.

Paul Mellon was the leading heir to the Mellon fortune, and a long-time neighbor of Averell
Harriman's in Middleburg, Virginia, as well as Jupiter Island, Florida. Paul's father, Andrew Mellon,
U.S. Treasury Secretary 1921-32, had approved the transactions of Harriman, Pryor and Bush
with the Warburgs and the Nazis. Paul Mellon's son-in-law, David K.E. Bruce, worked in Prescott
Bush's W.A. Harriman & Co. during the late 1920s; was head of the London branch of U.S.
intelligence during World War II; and was Averell Harriman's Assistant Secretary of Commerce in
1947-48. Mellon family money and participation would be instrumental in many domestic U.S.
projects of the new Central Intelligence Agency.

Carl Tucker manufactured electronic guidance equipment for the Navy. With the Mellons,
Tucker was an owner of South American oil properties. Mrs. Tucker was the great aunt of
Nicholas Brady, later George Bush's Iran-Contra partner and U.S. Treasury Secretary. Their son
Carll Tucker, Jr. (Skull and Bones 1947), was among the 15 Bonesmen who selected George Bush
for induction in the class of 1948.

C.Douglas Dillon was the boss of William H. Draper, Jr. in the Draper-Prescott Bush-Fritz
Thyssen Nazi banking scheme of the 1930s and 40s. His father, Clarence Dillon, created the
Vereinigte Stahlwerke (Thyssen's German Steel Trust) in 1926. C. Douglas Dillon made Nicholas
Brady the chairman of the Dillon Read firm in 1971 and himself continued as chairman of the
executive committee. C. Douglas Dillon would be a vital ally of his neighbor Prescott Bush during
the Eisenhower administration.

Publisher Nelson Doubleday headed his family's publishing firm, founded under the auspices of
J.P. Morgan and other British Empire representatives. When George Bush's `` Uncle Herbie '' died,
Doubleday took over as majority owner and chief executive of the New York Mets baseball team.

George W. Merck, chairman of Merck & Co., drug and chemical manufacturers, was director of
the War Research Service: Merck was the official chief of all U.S. research into biological warfare
from 1942 until at least the end of World War II. After 1944, Merck's organization was placed
under the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service. His family firm in Germany and the U.S. was famous for
its manufacture of morphine.

A.L. Cole was useful to the Jupiter Islanders as an executive of Readers Digest. In 1965, just
after performing a rather dirty favor for George Bush (see Chapter 9), Cole became chairman of the
executive committee of the Digest, the world's largest-circulation periodical.

From the late 1940s, Jupiter Island has served as a center for the direction of covert action by the
U.S. government and, indeed, for the covert management of the government. Jupiter Island will
reappear later on, in our account of George Bush in the Iran-Contra affair.

1. "remember your thread in which you asked where to put nuclear waste dumps..."
LAST EDITED ON May-23-01 AT 07:48 PM (EST)

...or some such horrific thing? This was going to be my one and only suggestion -- but I never got the chance to sit down to put in my two cents. Then I forgot about it. Now I remember.

We could get rid of the whole friggin' lot of cabal families with one extremely toxic radioactive dump on Jupiter Island. This is good from a cost efficiency perspective. I

Or, we could use Jupiter Island as the sole designated testing ground for shrub's new nuclear bombs and rockets. This is good from a citizen safety perspective.

Or, we can build one of dickhead cheney's big old nuclear power plants right on Jupiter Island. This is good from a sass persective.

There can be no question that A LOT went on here, goes on here, will continue to go on here. Private, exculsive, anonymous...c'mon! There's simply got to be more secrets and other stuff accumulated and hidden in this patch o' land than anywhere else on earth.

2. "Jupiter Island - birthplace of the NWO and info on "the Corporation""
The reagan/bush cabal controlled their global drug running and money-laundering operations from Jupiter Island:

http://www.nexusmagazine.com/pegfile2.html

in pertinent part (although Tatum's entire story is definitely worth reading):

During his 22 years as a deep-cover CIA and DIA operative, Gene "Chip" Tatum saw or participated in a remarkable series of covert operations. Foremost in his mind are the years 1986-92, when he operated for a group he called "Pegasus". This group operated on behalf of the US and other governments, undertaking tasks that ranged from narcotics smuggling to assassinations.

The name "Pegasus" was, in fact, a 'cover' designation used by Tatum to protect himself against possible prosecution. Earlier this year Tatum revealed the true structure of the group and explained why he felt the need to conceal it. Timing was all important. In a message to this writer, Tatum stated, "It has now been well past the five-year statute of limitations which could have come back and haunted me. That date was January 22, 1997. On January 21, 1992 I walked out of the Jupiter Island meeting to which I referred earlier."

Few individuals, even now, are aware of the significance of Jupiter Island. Located on the Atlantic coast of Florida, just a few miles north of Palm Beach, the island measures a mere half a mile wide and nine miles long. According to authors Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin, island residents read like a "Who's Who" of the Anglo-American establishment. Many have close connections to the intelligence apparatus and not a few are, or have been, members of the notorious Skull and Bones Society, a secretive and influential Masonic lodge formed at Yale law school.1 Interestingly, many of the early residents, including Averell Harriman and Prescott Bush-George Bush's father-were strong supporters of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Party prior to World War II. Even in recent years, George Bush continued to have unfinished work with Nazis domiciled in South America, Tatum says-especially while the world's eyes were turned towards Saddam Hussein and Iraq during Desert Storm. That, however, is another story.

Jupiter Island boasts hyper-security. All vehicles are tracked by sensors placed in the roads and every housekeeper, gardener or other non-resident is required by ordinance to be fingerprinted and registered. Residents themselves are carefully screened prior to being permitted to purchase real estate (many purchase by invitation, it is thought) and one of their primary duties as good residents is to perform active 'surveillance' to ensure the island remains secure.2 It was here that Tatum met with and discussed sensitive projects with then Vice President and later President Bush, at the residence of his mother, Rose Bush.

WHERE FACTION ONE->->"PLANS"

Posted By: vince <vlodato@aol.com>
Date: Monday, 11 September 2000, 8:01 a.m.

Historically, it is a well know fact that the Federal Reserve was planned and conceived by a group of men who held meetings on Jeckyll Island, Georgia.

The Eastern Establishment (Faction One), basically lives in NYC, the towns in nearby Conn, such as Darien, Greenwich, Westport etc. They have summer houses in Maine, Cape Cod, and the Hamptons in L.I. New York. There is also a Boston Group, who again have summer houses in Maine, Cape Cod, (Quansoo Beach) etc.

But where they met and where they "plan" is in Florida..their winter homes...on Jupiter Island, Florida.

The New World Order (NWO) was conceived and planned there. If you are high up in the pecking order then you have a home or property on Jupiter Island, Florida... not all but the majority of their leaders have property on Jupiter Island.

Louis Gerstner--the up and coming Jupitarian
Posted By: vince <vlodato@aol.com>
Date: Friday, 15 September 2000, 11:28 p.m.

Louis Gerstner is no a blue blood, but he is "the up and coming Jupitarian". Mr. Gerstner is a member of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers.

During the Clinton administration he served as a member of the National Security Telecommunication Advisory Board. At the same time he is a very very close friend of the President of China, and has transferred key technology to China via his position as CEO of IBM.

Mr Gerstner made $1,000,000,000 in stock options from IBM and is on the Forbes 400 list. During his position as CEO, IBM was convicted as a "corporate felon", IBM had severe problems in Argentina via a bribery charge coupled with a murder of the key witness. Judge Bagnasco traced it back to IBM Corporate.
Mr Gerstner via a relative bought some land on Jupiter Island. He is now part of the Jupitarians. An outsider who became a, or if not, the most powerful force of the Corporation.

Chip Tatum and Danny Casolaro, alluded to "the Corporation", and the group of 12 who directs it. Their is a high probability that Mr Gerstner may be a member of this ultra elite alleged group. However we have no proof. The proof of this "Corporation" and its Directors lies in Jupiter Island, Florida....and possibly within the Jupiter Holdings Company Inc.

4. "THE PEGASUS FILE"
This is Part 2 (go to link for part 1)


http://www.nexusmagazine.com/pegfile2.html

During his 22 years as a deep-cover CIA and DIA operative, Gene "Chip" Tatum saw or participated in a remarkable series of covert operations. Foremost in his mind are the years 1986-92, when he operated for a group he called "Pegasus". This group operated on behalf of the US and other governments, undertaking tasks that ranged from narcotics smuggling to assassinations.

The name "Pegasus" was, in fact, a 'cover' designation used by Tatum to protect himself against possible prosecution.

On January 21, 1992 I walked out of the Jupiter Island meeting to which I referred earlier."

Few individuals, even now, are aware of the significance of Jupiter Island. Located on the Atlantic coast of Florida, just a few miles north of Palm Beach, the island measures a mere half a mile wide and nine miles long. According to authors Webster Griffin Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin, island residents read like a "Who's Who" of the Anglo-American establishment. Many have close connections to the intelligence apparatus and not a few are, or have been, members of the notorious Skull and Bones Society, a secretive and influential Masonic lodge formed at Yale law school.1 Interestingly, many of the early residents, including Averell Harriman and Prescott Bush-George Bush's father-were strong supporters of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Party prior to World War II. Even in recent years, George Bush continued to have unfinished work with Nazis domiciled in South America, Tatum says-especially while the world's eyes were turned towards Saddam Hussein and Iraq during Desert Storm. That, however, is another story.

Jupiter Island boasts hyper-security. All vehicles are tracked by sensors placed in the roads and every housekeeper, gardener or other non-resident is required by ordinance to be fingerprinted and registered. Residents themselves are carefully screened prior to being permitted to purchase real estate (many purchase by invitation, it is thought) and one of their primary duties as good residents is to perform active 'surveillance' to ensure the island remains secure.2 It was here that Tatum met with and discussed sensitive projects with then Vice President and later President Bush, at the residence of his mother, Rose Bush.

SECRET GOVERNMENT APPARATUS

The so-called Pegasus group's organisational structure, as provided by Tatum, demands recounting in detail. The various presidential orders, which led to the formation and operation of the covert activities in which Tatum and others participated, are significant for they constitute a secret government within a government. This is the power that hides behind the open face of democratic government. Some have called this power base "the Octopus". Activities include high-level narcotics trafficking, illegal transfers of ultra-high-tech weaponry, money laundering on a massive scale and an odd "hit" or "alignment" to keep wobbly-kneed individuals on the straight and narrow.

It was in 1981, according to Tatum, that "President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive number 3 (NSDD-3) which authorised the Vice President to chair the Special Situation Group (SSG). The Special Situation Group was a division under the National Security Council (NSC). One entity formed to support the SSG was the Terrorist Incident Working Group (TIWG), established in April 1982 by authority of President Reagan in NSDD-30. This group consisted of representatives of the following: Director of Central Intelligence, Department of Defense (DoD), FBI, NSC staff and others as required.3

Tatum explained that, "The purpose of TIWG is to provide SSG with direct operational support. TIWG then recommended to the President that a Terrorism Task Force be formed and chaired by the head of SSG (the Vice President). Reagan approved NSDD-138 in April 1984, which extended TIWG's arm and ability to form sub-groups. As a result of NSDD-138 was the formation of the Operations Sub-Group (OSG). The Sub-Group was a select NSC-DoD-CIA-FBI-foreign intelligence agency which operated so as to bypass the regular operations of intelligence/military/law-enforcement agencies. OSG was formed in February 1986."

Having revealed the framework of the authorising presidential directives necessary for the conduct of these covert operations, Tatum then detailed the nitty-gritty of the OSG: "I was an operative for OSG from April 1986 through January 1992. When I was operating under the authority of the OSG I would report directly to the OSG, not to the CIA or DIA. This 'secret government' apparatus, built by Bush from 1981 to 1986, was able to draw upon assets from the CIA, the DoD Special Operations units and the private sector. Using the private sector clause, Don Gregg, VP Bush's National Security Advisor, included a representative from British Intelligence and Israeli Intelligence. To date I have called this group 'Pegasus' in an attempt not to divulge its true identity until I was on safe ground. Although most of the missions performed by OSG-2 are classified, the existence of the organisation is now declassified."

Until Tatum forwarded these details, the existence of more than one OSG was unknown. In fact, Tatum has now revealed the existence of three OSGs. OSG-1 was headed by Ted Shackley and was "our anti-narcotics group".4 OSG-2 was the anti-terrorism group and OSG-3 was "our 'alignment' group". Tatum was originally posted to OSG-2 which was commanded by Col. Oliver North. The third group, OSG-3, was commanded by Richard Secord. Following the exposure of Oliver North's role in Contragate in 1987, North resigned as head of OSG-2 and his spot was taken over by Secord. Tatum moved up to command OSG-3 at the same time.

All three OSGs answered to those individuals who sat on the TIWG. General Colin Powell represented the Department of Defense; William Casey, the CIA; and Donald Gregg, the National Security Council. "FBI guys rotated in and out," Tatum says. "It was like they couldn't get anyone," he concludes. Representing British Intelligence was Sir Colin Figure. Formerly head of MI6, Sir Colin transferred in 1986 to become "Security Coordinator", one of the top slots at the Cabinet office under the premiership of Margaret Thatcher. He retired in 1989. Amiram Nir represented Israeli interests until his assassination by an "Archer" team led by Tatum-at the request of high-level Israeli individuals-in 1988. Any of these six could "call a mission". In addition, George Bush could do likewise. Of significance, too, was the occasional representation on the TIWG of Lord Chalfont. The British lord was an adviser on "Mid-East affairs" between 1986 and 1990.

From the moment Chip Tatum was recruited to the OSG, he was posted to upstate New York where he established a number of cover businesses. One of these was Cedar Shores Estates, Inc.5 This was his base of operations throughout the next six years.6

It may be no more than sheer coincidence that the name of the company is similar to Cedar Holdings, a British company that had a relationship to former British Conservative Party Treasurer, Lord (Alistair) McAlpine. Author Peter Jones, in an unpublished book, looked in some detail at the business activities of this Conservative Party "Grey Eminence" and leading Freemason.7 Of no little interest was the author's detailed connections of numerous companies that he believed were involved in all manner of dark activities. Interestingly, these included a company called Leisure Circle that has a sinuous connection to Sir John Cuckney, one of the central figures of the Scott Inquiry into arms sales to Iraq.

Whilst these connections are admittedly tenuous, to say the least, it should be noted that Tatum's upstate New York operation was also involved in shipping the most sophisticated weapons across the border to Canada. Not least are the known connections between Oliver North's related gun-running operations that saw dirty money being laundered through the British Channel Islands and the London-based BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International). Money laundering was one of the principal activities of Col. Oliver North.

THE "SUPERBILLS" STING

One operation of which Tatum has knowledge concerns the so-called "Superbills" or "Supernotes" sting. Years earlier, in the late '60s or early '70s, the CIA had secretly provided to the Shah of Iran a perfect set of printing plates that could reproduce US$100 bills without blemish. Also provided was an intaglio printing press. This special printing press ensures that the etched plate meets paper with tremendous force, creating the distinctive embossed feel of a genuine banknote. In addition, the Shah was also given the ink and banknote-quality paper, enabling him to produce perfect counterfeit US dollar banknotes. The Shah later fled Iran and left the plates and press behind in his confusion. The whole caboodle sat in the mint at Tehran, according to some experts.8

According to Tatum, a deal was arranged in the early to mid-'80s between VP George Bush, Panama's Manuel Noriega and the Iranian leadership. A sum of US$8 billion deposited in the Banco Nacional de Panama on behalf of Colombian cocaine king Pablo Escobar was "lent" to George Bush. Of this, US$4 billion was shipped by plane to Iran where it was exchanged at a ratio of one good bill for two counterfeit bills. On the return trip, the 707 aircraft's cargo container carried two shrink-wrapped pallets containing $4 billion each. The 707 arrived at Howard/Albrook Air Force Base in Panama where the pallets were offloaded under armed guard of the Panamanian military. The counterfeit notes were re-deposited into Escobar's account at the Panama central bank. Under no circumstances could the counterfeit bills be permitted to leave the bank vault-for fear of devaluing the US currency with forged notes-and active steps would later be taken to ensure this.

The other half of Escobar's "good" money was placed into the hands of Nana DeBusia, the grandson of Guyana's first democratic leader. DeBusia was chosen by the CIA's William Casey to launder the massive sum into numerous bank accounts under the joint signatures of VP George Bush and Director Casey.

The next leg of the operation was to retrieve the $4 billion exchanged with the Iranians for the Superbills. This was facilitated by the supply of military equipment, arms, ammunition and replacement parts for weapons systems. This part of the deal was arranged by Col. Oliver North on behalf of the CIA's William Casey.

The results of these complex manoeuvres were twofold. On the one hand the CIA acquired $4 billion via the arms sales, for use in future black operations, without the need to rely on congressional oversight or authority. If later caught, Tatum says "...the CIA can report the source of funds as being from an arms transaction with Iran". Some of these funds were then used to support the Contras, whilst the rest disappeared down the ultra-black hole of the Company's covert finances.

Meanwhile, Nana DeBusia had begun laundering the remaining $4 billion through various banks, including the Vatican Bank.9 For his trouble, DeBusia was entitled to take a commission amounting to $200 million. The remaining $3.8 billion was then secreted in private, numbered accounts around the globe and controlled by George Bush and William Casey.

The operation was complete apart from some necessary mopping-up which occurred over the following years:

1) In 1989, Pablo Escobar was targeted by an intensive US-Colombian "War on Drugs" campaign. He fled into hiding, in fear of his life. Eventually, in 1993, he was tracked down and killed in a police shoot-out. A British TV documentary revealed that the "Cocaine King" was gunned down while attempting to escape and was probably unarmed. The campaign waged against Escobar ensured he could not withdraw the $8 billion in Superbills. Following his death, the quantity and quality of cocaine shipments from Colombia immediately increased manifoldly, giving lie to the "War on Drugs".

2) Also during 1989, Panama's General Noriega was captured in the US invasion of Panama. Noriega was later convicted and placed in US federal prison under constant guard to ensure his silence.10

3) Penultimately, Nana DeBusia was indicted on 32 counts including bank fraud and thereby effectively silenced.11

4) Earlier, in 1987, DCI William Casey died of a brain tumour-just days before he would have been required to attend the Senate hearings into the Contragate affair.

According to Tatum, only one figure emerged unscathed: George Bush, who alone retained control of $3.8 billion in laundered funds. Obviously, the CIA still retained control over the balance of their $4 billion share of the 'sting' operation.

It is of considerable significance that this operation has been corroborated by another source whose credibility is not in question.12 This individual was present in Tehran during many of these events, and was later posted to another sensitive location in this connection. Moreover, it has additionally been revealed that Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) was heavily involved in the Superbills sting. That BNL was an intrinsic part of Oliver North's so-called "Enterprise"-in reality, the OSGs of the Terrorist Incident Working Group-is beyond doubt.13

However, the question remains: What did George Bush intend to do with his 'black' $3.8 billion? What was the ultimate purpose of the operation? Perhaps some of the money was to be used to grease palms and otherwise finance Bush's bid for the presidency following the completion of President Reagan's second term. Maybe it was used to finance other lucrative projects. Perhaps it was to be used to inject financial muscle into another, grander scheme, of which Tatum has recently spoken, involving George Bush's "scope and mission" paper for a New World Order.

A copy of the "scoping" paper supplied to Tatum by George Bush outlines the formation of a Corporation whose purpose is to "...provide a central network of information, analysts and strategists on an international basis in pursuit of world order and economic stability". The "scope" of the Corporation involves four features:

1) Centralisation of informational services;

2) Analysis of data by region-specific analysts;

3) Provide recommendations based upon analysts' reports by international experts;

4) Provide international master plan for world growth and economic stability.

The Corporation is to be privately owned with a board of directors "consisting of twelve members, elected annually by the shareholders". In addition there are to be five departments: "Data Resources; Political Management; Economic Manage-ment; Military Management; Environmental Management".14

THE COMPLETE "BOSS HOGS" LIST

But it is in the realm of narcotics trafficking that Tatum is most vociferous. Part 1 of this article recounted the names of high-level US individuals, given to Tatum by Barry Adler Seal before he was killed in 1986. Seal called this the "Boss Hogs" List and it included senior individuals in 11 different countries who, Seal claimed, controlled the global narcotics network. The complete list is reprinted verbatim (including spelling mistakes), and in the manner in which it was written by Tatum on the reverse of a flight log:15

FULL CIRCLE

In a very real sense, Chip Tatum's story has now gone full circle. In March 1996, Tatum wrote to former Director of Central Intelligence, William Colby. Readers will recall that it was Colby who originally recruited Tatum into the CIA in 1971 and set him on his career as a covert intelligence operator. Since that time, Tatum developed a fondness for the super-spook, and Colby, in turn, played the role of mentor. In his letter, Tatum asked Colby to write a foreword for his book, Operation Red Rock, which he had completed just two months earlier. But there was another purpose in writing to the former DCI.

Four years earlier, when Tatum resigned his OSG command, he had volunteered to plead guilty on a felony charge in order to discredit himself. This was part of Tatum's strategy of survival, as he was aware that one didn't resign this particular team and remain alive for long. The fact that he had collected a body of evidence (including video and audio tapes and other related documentation) as 'life insurance', gave muscle to his negotiation. At that time he had not planned to reveal any of the details that he has now provided. In the event, his offer was taken up and he served a prison sentence of just over one year. That is where matters should have ended.

However, having served his sentence-thus complying with his part of the agreement-both Tatum and his wife, Nancy, were subsequently arrested and charged with another misdemeanour. Tatum got angry. His letter to Colby stated: "I have always kept my word with you. I told you that I would discredit myself. I don't need your help to accomplish this. But to charge Nancy with a crime, and expect me to allow this, is beyond my comprehension." He angrily continued: "I know that North and Rodríguez are the fuel for this, but haven't you warned them that I wouldn't sit still for this?" He then added: "I do not blame you for this; I am disappointed that you have allowed the 'Pond Scum' to control you!"

There then followed a warning: "The second book that I have already started will contain my movements from 1980 through today. I will not only write about the missions but about the NWO timetable and planned events including a chronology." Ominously he added: "And I will name names. You must detach yourself from these people!"

Tatum then continued by outlining how he would enter evidence for his forthcoming trial and warning that if disallowed for reasons of classification, then "a Special Prosecutor will be required to investigate the information, and the videotape tells no lies." He added: "I also had stills and an audio clip of a meeting added to the video. Out of respect for you I have kept your name out to this point, but if you don't separate yourself from these terrorists I will have no choice but to reveal your involvement also. Either way, the group will be exposed-by the media or by the investigating committee. Either way, they're out of gas!" Tatum closed the letter by saying: "Mr Colby-you've done too much for your country to be disgraced in the manner that these men will be."

Less than two months later, the former DCI was reported missing. By Monday 6 May 1996, Colby's body was found. It was later reported that Colby died following a "canoeing" accident on the Wicomico River, Maryland. Tatum and many others (including this writer) doubt this. Throughout his life, Colby had an all-abiding fear of water. It would have been entirely out of character for him to step voluntarily into a boat, let alone a canoe.

Despite this, Colby's death officially remains an accident. This has come as no special surprise to Tatum, who recently stated to this writer: "I knew the OSG were bulletproof when one of our targets, a 25-year-old, was reported to have died of a heart attack. His name was Al-Jarrah." That, however, is another story.

POSTSCRIPT

At 3 pm on Friday 4 April 1997-shortly after publication of Part 1 of this article-Chip Tatum was roused from a mid-afternoon snooze and told to report to the warden of his prison. He was informed that he was being released-less than midway through his 27-month sentence-with immediate effect, following an appellate court decision that found his conviction by Judge Adams to be illegal.

The Tatums are now freely enjoying together the sunshine and cajun cooking of Florida, as Chip turns his attention to beginning a new career-his first real job-hunting in 26 years. "Spy stuff" will not form part of his job-search efforts. Meanwhile, he has written and published his Chronicles that detail many of his allegations.15
