WILLIAM M. TYREE’S LAWSUIT

Returning to Bill Tyree’s lawsuit against the CIA and George Bush, filed in Boston in the U.S. District Court (case 98-CV-11829-JLT), let’s take a look at some of the allegations in the suit, quoting portions:

• The CIA/Military of the United States had engaged in a drug trafficking Operation identified as WATCHTOWER, that did preposition cocaine in Panama, at the U.S. Air Force Base known as Albrook Air Station, which was brought into Panama in December 1975, and February-March 1976, and moved north into Costa Rica, Honduras, and El Salvador, in the time period of post-Watchtower;

• The CIA/Military of the United States had engaged in illegal surveillance of citizens in the United States, and in the New England/Massachusetts area to determine if Operation Watchtower had been discovered;

• Did conceal and cover-up that the CIA, through George Bush, (DCI, Vice-President, and President), Dois Gene Tatum, and Albert V. Carone, between 1976 and 1996, did engage in a pattern of criminal activity, and did violate, and commit at least two or more of the following federal crimes:

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1976-1996, engage in illegal and unsanctioned drug trafficking operations to bring drugs into the United States in violation of 21 USC, 952-955, 959-961, and 963, using civilian and U.S. Military Personnel and equipment;

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1976-1996, engage in illegal and unsanctioned audio-visual surveillance of citizens of the United States, and Massachusetts, using civilian and U.S. Military Personnel and equipment in violation of 18 USC, 2510-2520; Massachusetts General Law c. 272, 99;

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1976-1996, engage in illegal and unsanctioned money laundering of illegally attained drug profits using civilian and U.S. Military Personnel and equipment in violation of 18 USC, Chapter 53, 5313-5316, and 5326;

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1976-1996, engage in illegal and unsanctioned commerce not approved by the U.S. Congress of drugs into the United States and Massachusetts, in violation of the so-called “Cooley Doctrine”;

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1976-1996, engage in illegal and unsanctioned “domestic operations” within the United States and Massachusetts, in violation of 50 USC, 403(d)(3)(1947);

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1982-1987, engage in illegal and unsanctioned covert action against Nicaragua using funds from the United States Government, and the Department of Defense, (i.e., salaries paid to U.S. troops sent to Latin America to train “Contra” freedom fighters), in violation of the so-called Boland Amendment, Public Law 97-377, and the second so-called Boland Amendment, Public Law 98-473, (Boland-I took effect in December 1982; Boland-II took effect on October 12, 1984, and remained in effect until at least the end of fiscal year 1987);

• Conceal and cover-up that the CIA did, between 1980-1989, engage in illegal and unsanctioned act of drafting up a so-called Federal Emergency Management Agency, (FEMA), that did exceed the parameters of its initial authority, and was originated using funding of questionable origins (i.e., drug profits), in violation of the U.S. Constitution, see paragraph(s) 60(a)-60(e), below;

• Traffick drugs into Mena, Arkansas, Massachusetts, and the United States between 1976-1996;

• Did pay gang members as assets under E.O. #12333, to actually traffick and distribute the drugs once the drugs were in the United States;

• Did bribe various U.S. Government officials, or influence same to not:

- investigate the subject matter of this complaint; etc.
[Later on:]

That the implementation of E.O. #12333 violated:

• 50 USC, 403(d)(1)(2)(3)(1947);

• “The Necessary and Proper Clause of Article 1, Section 8” of the United States Constitution, the right of the Legislature to enact laws to achieve its delegated powers (i.e., Congress brought 50 USC, 403 Et seq. into effect to achieve its delegated powers of legislating the intelligence community in the United States and E.O. #12333 un-did what Congress brought into effect);

• Separation of Powers;

•Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, as this Clause protects, (i.e., 50 USC, 403 Et seq., was wiped away by the stroke of the President’s pen, and by doing so, would later be used to undercut yet another piece of legislation, the Boland Amendment);

• That E.O. #12333 failed to take into consideration that the private assets/entities hired by E.O. #12333 would engage in the commerce of trafficking drugs into the United States, Mena, Arkansas, and Boston, Massachusetts, and only Congress has authority to regulate commerce under the “Cooley Doctrine”, (Cooley v. Board of Wardens, (1851);

• That E.O. #12333 gave private assets/entities hired by E.O. #12333 authority using profits from the illegal drug trafficking into the United States, Mena, Arkansas, and Boston, Massachusetts, to wage a covert war on Nicaragua, in violation of Article 1 of the United States Constitution, which outlines only the U.S. Congress has the power to declare war. The President usurped that Congressional authority at Article 1, by signing into effect E.O. #12333.

• That, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges the CIA and other Defendants were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of Operation Watchtower to monitor the drugs brought into Panama, from Columbia, through Operation Watchtower and engage in a pattern of criminal activity between 1976-1996.

(a) Seek congressional approval under the so-called Cooley Doctrine, to engage in the commerce of trafficking drugs into the United States, Mena, Arkansas, and Boston, Massachusetts, among the many locations that the cocaine from Operation Watchtower was sold;

(b) Seek congressional approval under Article 1 of the United States Constitution, to wage war on Nicaragua, using profits from the cocaine brought into the United States, Mena, Arkansas, and Boston, Massachusetts, through Operation Watchtower, and the several Operations listed herein at paragraph 183(j).

• That, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges the CIA and other defendants were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of the illegal search of the Tyree apartment, to notify the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that the missing diaries of Elaine Tyree contained data related to the National Security of the United States, and as such, would not be available for the Plaintiff to use in his criminal trial as a defense to show that someone other than the Plaintiff had an ample reason to kill Elaine Tyree.

• That, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges the CIA and other Defendants were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of Operation Watchtower to monitor the post-Watchtower events, and keep U.S. Military Personnel out of the CIA drug trafficking Operations, which led to the involvement of the Defendant Tatum and the pattern of criminal activity between 1976-1996.

• That, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges the CIA and other Defendants were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of Operation Watchtower to monitor the post-Watchtower events, and keep U.S. Military Personnel out of the CIA implemented covert war on Nicaragua as required by The Boland Amendment and the pattern of criminal activity between 1976-1996.

• That, see paragraphs 300-301 below for facts, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants CIA, and George Bush were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of Operation Watchtower to monitor the post-Watchtower events and seek legal Congressional funding for the origination of FEMA, (Federal Emergency Management Agency), and this failure led to the concealment and cover-up of Operation Watchtower, written about in the diaries of Elaine Tyree, seized illegally and turned over to Colonel Carone, and then to the CIA, which ensured that the Operation Watchtower drug trafficking Operation would remain covert, allowing the drug profits from this Operation to be used to circumvent Congress and fund FEMA and continue the pattern of criminal activity.

• That, see paragraphs 301(f)(g)(h) and 301(e) in specific, and generally paragraph 300-301, pursuant to a separate theory of TORT under Thornwell, supra., the Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants CIA, and George Bush were negligent, and failed at the conclusion of Operation Watchtower to monitor the post-Watchtower events and:

• Seek congressional approval for FEMA, and the line of succession to the President in the event of an emergency;

• Seek judicial review from the U.S. Supreme Court of the FEMA established line of succession to the President in the event of an emergency (see paragraphs 301(f)(g)(h), and 301(e) in specific, to determine if the FEMA line of succession is constitutional);

• Seek judicial review from the U.S. Supreme Court of the ill-defined and vague term of “National Emergency” used as a cornerstone of FEMA, and determine it’s definition and parameters;

• Seek judicial review from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether or not E.O. #12333 (2.6(a)(b)(c)(d), authorizing the CIA to assist the local police put the CIA in the domestic intelligence business;

• Seek judicial review from the U.S. Supreme Court on whether or not, as declared by the U.S. Attorney General at paragraph 301(e), FEMA has exceeded its proper function as a coordinating agency for preparedness as allowed by the revised Executive Order;

• Seek congressional review to determine what roles the judicial and legislative branches of the U.S. Government would have if FEMA was activated, and the U.S. Constitution was suspended;

• By failing to seek congressional and judicial review, the Defendants CIA, and George Bush violated the following; and that did require the continued concealment and cover-up of the diaries of Elaine Tyree, which were seized during the illegal search of the Tyree apartment, which were turned over to Colonel Carone, and then given to the CIA by Colonel Carone, to cover-up Operation Watchtower, which was one of several illegal drug operations that produced a profit which was used in turn to help originate and implement FEMA, violating:

(a) Separation of powers: the Executive Branch brought about an agency, (i.e., FEMA), which has the authority to suspend the U.S. Constitution, (e.g., further suspending legislative and judicial branches), but is vague in its verbiage as to what does constitute an emergency, and fails to list what, if any, duties the legislative and judiciary will have or perform if the U.S. Constitution is suspended;

(b) the necessary and proper clause of Article 1, Sec. 8: Congress had to approve FEMA for two specific reasons:

(1) FEMA is a vaguely written Executive Branch-created agency that has the power to suspend the U.S. Constitution, and put the legislative and judicial branches of government out of work;

(2) FEMA is an Executive Branch creation that clearly affects all three branches of Government, capable of silencing the voice of the people, (i.e., legislature), and the legal redress of the people, (i.e., judiciary).

• That, in considering how far the Reagan/Bush Administration went to train the Contras, allegedly in violation of The Boland Amendment (i.e., trafficking drugs, laundering money, engaging in surveillance of American citizens in New England/Massachusetts), specific congressional guidelines for FEMA, and the specific finding of where the funds came from to originate FEMA is reasonable.
[Later on:]

• That, pursuant to a Civil Rights claim, 42 USC, 1983, the Plaintiff alleges the Defendants CIA and George Bush did intentionally engage in the complained of conduct herein to conceal:

(1) the origins of FEMA, and that profits from drug trafficking by the CIA were used in some part to originally fund FEMA, and the drafting of the FEMA infrastructure;

(2) the FEMA instituted and projected illegal line of succession to the Office of the President in the event of a National emergency;

(3) the lack of action to seek the congressional or judicial review of FEMA (see paragraph 60(b)(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7);

(4) from the American public the role of FEMA as originally designed;

(5) that Defendant Bush never notified President William J. Clinton of the origins of FEMA; and their intentional conduct, which they concealed and covered-up from the Plaintiff until 1996, did cause the Plaintiff the injuries alleged herein.

[Later on:]

• That the Operation Watchtower cocaine continued to be brought into Mena, Arkansas, until 1989.

• That in 1990, the Plaintiff is put in touch with U.S. Army Retired Chief Warrant Officer Grade 4, (CW4), William H. McCoy, ex-CID, who immediately tells the Plaintiff the following:

(a) Retired U.S. Army Special Forces Colonel James “Bo” Gritz, overall Commander for all Special Forces Troops in Panama during the time period that Operation Watchtower took place, can and does confirm that Watchtower did take place, and has made a video to get the word out to the public;

(b) Investigative Reporter/Movie Producer/Director Barbara Wegler is investigating, and has confirmed through several high-placed contacts at The Pentagon off the record, that Operation Watchtower did take place, see the affidavit of Wegler at Exhibit 30-31;

[Returning, for a moment, to Rodney Stich’s book Defrauding America: “Barbara Wegler died from unknown causes on March 5, 1995. Several weeks earlier I was in touch with her concerning her investigation of covert activities based upon information given to her by Bill Tyree. She was to provide me with information about what she found, but died before she could do this. Her interests included Operation Watchtower, CIA involvement in Jim Jones’ Jonestown, and other activities.]

(c) McCoy can confirm that Operation Watchtower cocaine was being brought into Mena, Arkansas between 1982 and 1989;

(d) McCoy wants permission to speak to John Cummings on behalf of the Plaintiff, and the Plaintiff consents.

• That, the Plaintiff frequently called McCoy and, in 1993, McCoy tells the Plaintiff that a friend who was investigating the Mena, Arkansas CIA cocaine operation that originated through Operation Watchtower was killed on June 22, 1993, and the name of the friend was attorney Paul Wilsher, and the Coroner didn’t make a ruling on the cause of death.

[Later on:]

• That, in the aftermath of the death of Barbara Wegler, William McCoy told the Plaintiff the following:

(a) the following died after they learned first-hand of the CIA cocaine operation at Mena, Arkansas: Stanley Huggins, Kevin Ives, Donald Henry, Keith McCaskell, Greg Collins, Jeff Rhodes, and Richard Winters;

(b) “No matter what happens, if I die and you’re not sure what I died from, have my family get an independent medical examiner to check me out. Be sure. Give me your word.”

• That in 1995, Colonel Wilson notified the Plaintiff that Colonel Beckwith had died of natural causes.

[Later on:]

• That in 1997, CW4 William H. McCoy is found dead in his home in Fairfax, Virginia, and is immediately cremated before the medical examiner can determine the cause of his death.
[Later on, quoting what Colonel Carone told the Plaintiff:]

• Anyone who wants to can look at the language of E.O. #12333 and tell it violates the intent of 50 USC, 403(d)(1)(2)(3)(1947), not to mention the Boland Amendment, as the records from CIA, NSC, and the U.S. Military will show that E.O. #12333 created the profits from the drug flow, and the Army from the drug profits to field the covert operations that is being used to overthrow the Nicaraguan communist government;

• You had NSC staffers that were tied right into the drug trafficking themselves, like Ollie North. Hell, his diary has everything in it. Between his diary and your wife’s diary, the whole thing is blown. Totally compromised;

• I remember seeing him write over 200 entries in his diary that related to major drug profits being used to buy weapons for the Contras;

• The diary of Ollie North alone would prove what I’ve told you and show the violation of 50 USC, 403, and everything.

[Later on, still quoting what Colonel Carone told Plaintiff:]

• He told the Plaintiff that the CIA directly or indirectly controlled BCCI, BCP, BNL, and Intermeritime Bank, through Casey to Rappaport, then from Rappaport to Aldred Hartman;

• He told the Plaintiff that the CIA used BCCI, BNL, BCP, and Intermeritime Bank to launder money for Black Operations worldwide, and for the Mafia in New York City, New York.
[Later on, still quoting what Colonel Carone told Plaintiff:]

• Among the variety of illegal Operations spoken of by Colonel Carone, the Plaintiff remembers the following Operations that brought illegal drugs into the United States at Mena, Arkansas: Operation Watchtower; Operation Sea Spray; Operation Yellow Fruit; Operation Tipped Kettle I, and Tipped Kettle II; The Omni Project; Operation Pegasus I through 28; Operation Short Flight; Operation Burma Road; Operation Morning Gold; Operation Triangle; Operation Snow Cone.

[Later on:]

That Colonel Carone told the Plaintiff:

• and further: Berry Seal and Eugene Hasenfus are among the examples of the third party cut-outs used by the CIA under Executive Order #12333 to traffick drugs into the United States.

[Colonel Carone statements, later on:]

• The blame of the fall of the American culture began with the creation of National Security Memorandum 200, which stated, among other things, the concern of over-population in the United States which many at the CIA attributed to the birth rate among people of color;

• Colonel Carone said that there were some at CIA that felt physical slavery could be replaced by pharmaceutical slavery and that’s why African-American gangs (i.e., “Bloods” and “Crips”) were singled out for distributing the drugs brought into the United States by the CIA.

[Later on:]

• That Colonel Carone said that he had worked with Green Berets assigned to Covert-Black Operations Teams (Operational Detachment Alphas—ODAs), ODA-182, and ODA-184 assigned to the 20th SFG(A), within the United States.

• That Colonel Carone further told the Plaintiff Colonel Ollie North worked on developing a plan known as FEMA, which would, in an ill-defined national emergency, allow the U.S. Military to take control of the United States to ensure National Security;

• Colonel Carone said “FEMA” originally stood for “Federal Emergency Military Action” (i.e., Martial Law), but was retitled Federal Emergency Management Agency because it would be better received by the people of the United States;

• Colonel Carone said that if you checked all the assets retained by FEMA, since it’s origination, that you would find two things:

(1) a non-government influence literally has the final word regarding what FEMA does;

(2) unusual funding for its origination in the early 1980s;

• Colonel Carone said he took drug profits that were clean and laundered in 1982-1984, to the following:

(1) NSC-Colonel Oliver North who used the funds to create and develop FEMA;

(2) the U.S. Military entities at paragraph 189(h)(i)(j), which are tied into FEMA;

• Colonel Carone said the FEMA chain of command rules and regulations, that he had seen, violated the U.S. Constitution, and actually established a succession to the Office of the President in the event of an emergency that circumvented the Vice-President and Speaker of the House of Representatives;

• The New York Times, dated November 18, 1991, published a story that did support what Colonel Carone had told the Plaintiff about FEMA;

• The New York Times, 11/18/91, said in part: “acting outside the Constitution in the early 1980s, a secret federal agency established a line of succession to the president to assure continued government in the event of a devastating nuclear attack, current and former United States officials said today.”

• The secret federal agency referred to by the New York Times article of 11/18/91 was, in fact, FEMA in it’s original state.
That, Colonel Carone told the Plaintiff:

• FEMA was one of those off the shelf creations that was funded through the giant black operations fund which came about from drug trafficking operations instituted by the CIA, which Congress has no idea of, and no control over;

• FEMA was instituted while the Reagan Administration was in The White House;

• The FEMA established line of succession to the President of the United States in a national emergency is not the succession line supported by the United States Constitution, and is in violation of the Constitution;

• In 1982, FEMA Director Louis Giuffrida issued a Classified Memo and made one hell of a statement in it, and I’ll tell you exactly what it said: “Over the long term, the peacetime action programs and agencies have the effect of making the conceivable need for military takeover less and less as time goes by. A fully implemented civil defense program may not now be regarded as a substitute for martial law, nor could it be so marketed, but if successful in its execution, it could have that effect.”

• Colonel Carone said that, in 1984, Attorney General William French Smith wrote the NSC Chairman Robert McFarland, and said:
“I believe the role assigned to the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the revised Executive Order exceeds its proper function as a coordinating agency for emergency preparedness.... This department and others have repeatedly raised serious policy and legal objections to the creation of an ‘emergency czar’ role for FEMA.”

• Colonel Carone said that FEMA was based in large part on the 1968 and 1972 California National Guard Operation Cable Splice, which did use elements of the U.S. Sixth Army and did relate totally to martial law.

• Colonel Carone said Operation Cable Splice involved Louis Giuffrida, head of Reagan’s California National Guard Specialized Training Institute, and Edwin Meese, who would be Reagan’s Executive Secretary.

• Colonel Carone said the NSC used drug trafficking profits to start FEMA without congressional approval, which he said was very terrifying when you stopped to think about the language in a 1981 NSC Directive written by Frank Carlucci; hold on, here it is, word for word, judge for yourself:
“Normally a state of martial law will be proclaimed by the President. However, in the absence of such action by the President, a senior military commander may impose martial law in an area of his command where there had been a complete breakdown in the exercise of government functions by local authorities.”

• Colonel Carone said a literal interpretation of the 1981 NSC Directive was that a local-yokal national guard commander could institute martial law, and the actions of FEMA, without local citizens ever knowing how FEMA came to be, or what FEMA was originally intended to be about, would automatically be triggered without any type of presidential order. All of this without Congress ever having any say, and the American people are prisoners in their own country. Hell, Congress doesn’t even have the purse strings on this one. It’s all from the Black Operations Fund which Congress will never force the U.S. Intelligence Community to admit even exists.

• Colonel Carone said that the Presidential Decision Directives on FEMA is what you have to look out for.

• That Presidential Decision Directive, PDD-36 [This must be a mis-type—PDD-39 appears to be the one he’s referring to. More on this later in the article.] is an outline for critical infrastructure protection which specifically assigned FEMA the task of continuity of government services, the precise term, and language used in previous plans for what Colonel Carone termed the anti-constitutional take-over of the U.S. Government in a time of national emergency.

[End quoting from Tyree’s lawsuit.]

Now let’s contrast what was said above about the all-intrusive, covert agenda, completely subversive nature of FEMA with FEMA’s own public relations verbiage. Needless to say, there is somewhat of a contrast to be reckoned with, especially with respect to FEMA’s history and reason for being! Remember that Clinton raised Mr. Witt’s position to that of his Cabinet several years ago. Now there is an Executive Director under Mr. Witt, a Black woman who, considering what disrespectful things have been said in the earlier “secret” FEMA commentaries about Blacks and Hispanics, causes one to wonder just how much of token, figurehead position was this creation.

FEMA ON FEMA

[Quoting directly from FEMA’s Internet website material:]

DISASTER. It strikes anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms—a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire, or a hazardous spill, an act of Nature or an act of terrorism. It builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying consequences.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency—FEMA—is an independent agency of the federal government, reporting to the President. Since its founding in 1979, FEMA’s mission has been clear:

To reduce loss of life and property and protect our nation’s critical infrastructure from all types of hazards through a comprehensive, risk-based, emergency management program of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
