This is a good day here at Kitman TV. The Drugs and Disinfo series, that has grown considerably over the years, has now found a welcomed addition, in a symposium over at Frontpage Magazine, devoted specifically to this issue. It has some great contributions from both Joseph Douglass,who initially sparked my interest in this topic and Jeff Nyquist from the Strategic Crisis Center. I would like to thank Jamie Glazov for letting me participate, it was a pleeasure to be able to contribute to the exchange.

In this special edition of Frontpage symposium, we have gather a distinguished panel to discuss how drugs have been used as a weapon of psycho-chemical warfare by our enemies. What have been the historical ramifications of the flooding of the free world with acid, heroin, and hashish from enemy territory, especially since the late 60s?

Remarkably little research has been done on Cold War drug-supply, even though the communists clearly stated their intent on poisoning Western youth with drugs.

Joining us today are some of the people who have looked into this subject more closely. Towards the end of the talk, we hope to be able to draw some parallels with the current threat of Islamic Jihad:

Our guests are:

Frank Kitman, a blogger and independent researcher who specializes in how America’s enemies have used drugs as a weapon against us.

J. R. Nyquist, the president of the Strategic Crisis Center, Inc. (StrategicCrisis.com). He writes a column on global strategic issues for Financial Sense Online.

and

Dr. Joseph Douglass, among the first defense analysts to identify the Soviet intelligence operation to move narcotic drugs into the “enemy’s camp” to undermine the youth and culture. His first articles appeared in 1987 and 1988 and his book, Red Cocaine, in 1991. He was also the first to write about the development and covert use of psycho-active drugs by their intelligence services in covert operations to influence thinking and behavior in the Medical Sentinel journal. He has also written several books on Soviet nuclear strategy, decision making, on the Soviet practice of arms control violations, and on the missing American POW/MIAs from WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Cold War.

FP: Frank Kitman, J. R. Nyquist and Dr. Joseph Douglass, welcome to Frontpage Symposium.

Dr. Douglass, let’s begin with you. What is the best way for us to begin this discussion?

Perhaps you can enlighten us on some of the evidence that has linked communist activity with the massive increase in drug-supply in the United States — especially following U.S. entrance into the Vietnam war?

Douglass: Thank you Jamie.

To work our way into the Vietnam War, I would look first at the late 1940s following WWII. Because of constraints on shipping during the war and efforts of the US Narcotics Bureau before the war to bring the use of opium and heroin under control in the United States, the use of “illegal drugs” after WWII had dropped to its lowest level since the early 1900s. The stats on over dose of heroin in NYC had dropped to zero in 1948 as those on first use of heroin in San Francisco was close to that also. This all changed in 1949 when there was an abrupt rise in the use of illegal drugs. The same was true in Japan. US intelligence and Japanese intelligence independently determined that the rise in both countries was due to a new flow of drugs out of the new Communist China. This might be viewed as the opening of today’s psychochemical war using drugs.

The first book to report on this was The Traffic in Narcotics by the legendary Harry J. Anslinger. It was published in 1952 right on the heels of a USG report submitted to the United Nations on the increase in international narcotics trafficking. Two quite substantial books that added considerable detail to the new “Chinese communist drug offensive” were Psycho-Chemical Warfare by A.H. Stanton Candlin and The Peking Bomb by Gerd Hamburger in 1973 and 1975, respectively. Both described the new drug offensive with maps on poppy fields, organization and soforth. My information from a high communist source later confirmed this message and the deliberate use by the top Chinese leaders of narcotics as a weapon in a covert war against the United States and Japan.

The Chinese expanded this practice during the Korean War in 1951-1953. They targeted their trafficking specifically against the US military forces engaged in the Korean War, both those in Korea and those stationed in nearby bases, such as Japan and Okinawa. This was an especially important beginning of the use of psychochemical drugs as a weapon in war. This practice gained little attention in the West at the time, but it had a significant effect in damaging the readiness of US forces, especially in logistics units. Additionally, it proved the effectiveness of the tactic that would be greatly expanded in the Vietnam War... You can read the the whole symposium at Frontpage Magazine

Disinformation is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is synonymous with and sometimes called black propaganda. It may include the distribution of forged documents, manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading malicious rumors and fabricated intelligence. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.

In espionage or military intelligence, disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one's position or course of action. In politics, disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on the candidates vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it useless.

Disinformation techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used to try to undermine the position of a competitor. It is an act of deception and blatant false statements to convince someone of an untruth. Cooking-the-books might be considered a disinformation strategy that led to the Sarbanes--Oxley Act.

Unlike traditional propaganda and Big Lie techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions.

Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can effect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with a lot of easily-disproved false claims.

A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).

The Cold War made disinformation a recognized military and political tactic. Military disinformation techniques were described by Vladimir Volkoff.

According to senior SVR officer Sergei Tretyakov, "The KGB was responsible for creating the entire nuclear winter story to stop the Pershing missiles." Tretyakov says that from 1979 the KGB wanted to prevent the United States from deploying the missiles in Western Europe and that, directed by Yuri Andropov, they distributed disinformation, based on a faked "doomsday report" by the Soviet Academy of Sciences about the effect of nuclear war on climate, to peace groups, the environmental movement and the journal Ambio. Ambio carried a key article on the topic in 1982.

The classic speech by joe McCarthy putting forward the evidence against Edward J Murrow and his co-conspirators. The dispute between the investigative commitee on communism and Murrow was recently the subject of the a filmproduction entitled Goodnight and Good Luck directed written and in part produced by none other than the Syriana conspiracy theorist George Clooney. The film was heavily advertised throughout the world, obviously siding with Murrow, whitewashing his motivations and completely disregarding the mounting evidence in favor of McCarthys measures to protect the public from carefully planned disinformation tactics and infiltration. Considering what we now know, and what was already known back then, about the horrors of socialism, keeping in mind the millions of innocent civilians who died in communist concentrationcamps, it remains as mystery, how a person can speak of this brave man as a "communist scaremonger" without a chill running down their neck.

Comparing the film Goodnight and Good Luck with Syriana there almost seem to be a method behind the madness:
1. In the case of a very real and unquestionable conspiratory attack on the free world, by communists. As was the case during the cold war- Play it down, make a personal drama out of it, about a communist standing up for his ideals.
2. In the case of very real and unquestionable defense of the free world as is the case in the current war on terror - make a wild conspiratory film about the evil motivations of the leaders free world, with wholly unsubstantiated allegations hidden in confusing storylines and "artistic" editing.

For people who are interested in the ecent research on this part of the cold war, and the resurrection of Joe mccarthy as an american hero, please watch stan evans lecture, based on the book Blacklisted by History on which he spend almost a decade researching.

This is an interesting article detailing the desire of socialists to smear and discredit the catholic church.

I have been somewhat surprised that no one really cared to mention, that the latest scandal surrounding the Pope seems to be little more than simple recycling of an old, albeit extremely succesful disinfo campaign, waged by atheist socialists against the vatican.
The hypocrisy however, should be obvious to anyone.
Afterall, it was the socialists that did away with all obscenity laws, encouraged promiscuity and celebrated polymorphic libido. These things surely did more to bring out the thousands of creepy pedophiles pursuing new found desires than prayer and bible studies.
In fact the guru of the sexual revolution  Dr. - "Let´s Talk About Sex" - Kinsey advocated sex between parents and their children. He even paid predatory pedophiles for reporting on their "findings," thus encouraging further sexual assaults on children - some of which even claimed the life of the victim.


All this, of course in no way keeps socialist media from spinning one of their classic  "proof by counter-intuition"-theories. Namely:

A man, who decides to abstain from sex in order to dedicate himself to prayer and worship, will develop a tendency to rape little boys

Isn´t it just brilliant!

I will not go into the many scary details about the pedophilia scandal of the nineties, but will certainly recommend everyone to simply read the wiki-entry on this subject, and pay attention to some of the many oddities emerging from the statistical data on the subject. Below are listed a few interesting facts

-In spite of being a predatory pedophile´s "dream-job" catholic priests are about half as likely to commit pedophile acts as the general population.

-No evidence suggests that catholics are more engaged in pedophilia than priests of other christian denominations

- 66 percent  of the abusive priests in the initial  US scandal were born in ireland or transferred to the US through Ireland - and this at a time where the irish catholics were at war with protestants and heavily supported by the Soviet Union.
Curious, indeed - Think that might have made it easier for "someone" to locate all those victims?
Why was it only catholic victims who came forward, not victims of pedophiles from other christian denominations aswell? Inquiring minds want to know...



Mosscows Assault on the Vatican - Paceba





Update:

Guess pat condell forgot to mention this in his recent rant

I went through the trouble of assembling a searchable pdf from this  government report, prepared at the request of the United States House of Representatives. It deals extensively with what is known about the psychological war waged on the free world by the soviet union under the banner of "Active Measures", but concentrates on the "post cold war" era 1988-91.

It categorises the different kinds of operations into black white and grey, true and false, and conciliatory, derogatory and alarmist.
Alarmist disinfomation is a particularly interesting sub-genre, because the propagator cannot be dismissed by facts, atleast for quiete a few years. The global warming racket is without a doubt the best alarmist disinfo campign ever waged on the free world by the international left.

I believe many people underestimate the importance of these "active measures" and the overall destructive goals of the International Information Department, who conducted most of the operations. The reason for this is probably that the true scale of it is not appreciated, because people tend to forget that all the hard work of intelligence gathering had already been done by the KGB as such, and was then simply fed to the international department, where the informatioon was skillfully streamlined into slogans and "arguments" to gain strategic advantages. Imagine the boost any news outlet would gain, if it were fed all needed information directly from the CIA.
Surely, this meant an immense advantage, and enabled them to constantly provide new "stories" with sufficient evidence, to the anti-western leftist journalists, who then made headlines and refused to disclose their "sources".
This has been going on for so long now, that selfcriticism seem to have become the norm in most news media.

The Soviet Communist Party created what was, in all likelihood, the most formidable
political influence machine in the modern world. Although the Soviets had the
disadvantage of "selling" an enormously unpopular "product," they evolved a great deal
of manipulative and deceptive techniques to try to compensate for this disadvantage. A
close examination of how they sought to influence foreign publics and governments by
orchestrating and spreading carefully selected information, disinformation, and a variety
of crude, sophisticated, derogatory, conciliatory, and alarmist arguments and slogans
contains important lessons for the future in understanding how other totalitarian and
extremist regimes conduct active measures, and how some groups and states within the
Commonwealth of Independent States continue to try to achieve political influence using
these methods.

Soviet Active Measures in the "Post-Cold War" Era 1988-1991

The 1982 seminal paper by Jeffrey G. on the use of hippies as a fifth column of agitated pacifist traitors during the cold war. This is required reading for anyone interested in the causes behind the selfdestructive nature of the western left since 1968.
Highly recommended!

Anatoliy Golitsyn - New Lies for Old: The Communist Strategy of Deception and Disinformation -

This is Anatoliy Golitsyn's shocking book New Lies for Old - The Communist Strategy of Deception and Disinformation (1984) where a top-ranking KGB defector reveals the long-term gameplan and disinformation campaign for the now "dead" Soviet Union and the international socialist revolution as a whole. The author worked in the strategic planning department of the KGB in the rank of Major. In 1961 under the name "Anatole Klimov" he was assigned to the Soviet embassy in Helsinki where he defected to the CIA and was interviewed there by counter-intelligence director James Angleton. Golitsyn provided priceless information about many famous Soviet agents including Kim Philby, Donald Duart Maclean, Guy Burgess, John Vassall, double agent Aleksandr Kopatzky and many others. It was only with his defection that Philby was confirmed as a Soviet mole. But his vast knowledge included not only names but the overall strategy of deception that the communists planned decades ahead. In New Lies For Old he successfully predicted the collapse of the communist bloc years before it actually happened and warned about a long-term deception strategy designed to lull the West into a false sense of security and finally economically cripple and diplomatically isolate the United States. As he writes, the 'liberalization' in the Soviet Union would be spectacular and impressive. Formal pronouncements might be made about a reduction in the communist party's role and its monopoly would be apparently curtailed. If liberalization should be extended to East Germany, demolition of the Berlin Wall might even be contemplated (and it did fell). The European Parliament might become an all-European socialist parliament with representation from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. 'Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals' would turn out to be a neutral and socialist Europe

Here is an interesting interview with Anatoliy Golitsyns publisher - Christopher Story

William McIlhany interviews publisher Christopher Story about long term Soviet plans and deceptions. Mr. Story is the publisher of several newsletters including "Soviet Analyst", and books including New Lies for Old and Perestroika Deception, both by Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn.

Yuri Bezmenov, a Russian born, KGB trained subverter tells about the influence of the Soviet Union on Western media and describes the stages of communist takeovers. This interview was conducted by G. Edward Griffin in 1984. This video has been remastered and is now available on DVD. See http://realityzone.com/bezmenov.html


Yuri Alexandrovic Bezmenov, now known as Tomas David Schuman, was born in 1939 in the former Soviet Union and worked as a journalist for Pravda. In this capacity, he secretly answered to the KGB. His true job was to further the aims of communist Russia. After being assigned to a station in India, Bezmenov eventually grew to love the people and culture of India, while, at the same time, he began to resent the KGB-sanctioned oppression of intellectuals who dissented from Moscow's policies. He decided to defect to the West. Bezmenov/Schuman is best remembered for his Pro-American Anti-communist lectures and books from the 1980s.

In 1984, he gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin who, at that time, was a member of the John Birch Society, an anti-communist group. Bezmenov explained in this interview the methods used by the Soviet KGB to secretly subvert the democratic system of the United States[1].

Tomas D. Schuman authored the book Love Letter to America, W.I.N., Almanac Panorama, Los Angeles 1984, ISBN 0-935090-13-4. In Love Letter to America he writes, "Like a true-life Winston Smith, from the George Orwell book 1984, Tomas Schuman worked for the communist equivalent of Orwell's Ministry of Truth - The Novosti Press Agency (RIA Novosti). Novosti, which means "News" in Russian, exists to produce slanted and false stories to plant in the foreign media. The term for this KGB effort is "disinformation".

Tomas D. Schuman was associated with World Information Network (WIN) located at 31220 La Baya Dr. #110, Westlake, CA 91362. WIN published WIN PANORAMA books and cassettes along with the WIN Panorama Report newsletter. WIN also published under the name WIN Almanac Panorama, or ALmanac. In 1985, Tomas D. Schuman wrote No Novosti is Good News, Almanac, ISBN 0935090177 and in 1986 he wrote World Thought Police, Almanac, ASIN B0007246RO. An order form at the rear of Love Letter To America offers a book called KAL 007 and a cassette called "Radio Moscow" by Schuman.


The whereabouts of Yuri Bezmenov, aka Tomas David Schuman, is unknown but unconfirmed internet sources report that he died in 1997 in Canada. The G. Edward Griffin interview along with many other prophetic lectures by Yuri Bezmenov aka Tomas Schuman can be viewed on YouTube.

Also known to speak on the Chris Lorch 814 enigma.
