Here is a link to a scanned copy of the actual letter -- RMNews also wonders about the authenticity of this letter -- However, RMNews knows that William Casey did work with ex Nazi -- Karl Gunther Russbacher, the father of CIA operative Gunther Russbacher. We do not know if this is the "Gunther" referred to in the Casey letter.

You will have to make up your own mind as to the authenticity of Casey's testimony. Knowing Casey, and how adamant he was to Communism and the New World Order, I can believe he would do exactly as described in the Casey letter.

RMNews has written about using drugs to "cull" society -- a process of finding and keeping track of people with "the criminal gene". Many CIA, FBI and DEA agents believed that this was the purpose of the drug war. I can believe that Casey would have thought this way

One of Casey's best friends was George Wackenhut and ex FBI agent who was/is as adamantly anti Communist AND anti NWO as Casey was. RMNews does not have all the pieces of the puzzle concerning Casey and Wackenhut... One of the things to remember as you try to fit these men into neat little boxes...

Sometimes in covert wars, the bad guys wear white hats, and the good guys wear black hats.

Text of Casey testimony follows

: WILLIAM J. CASEY

: An exhibit within William Tyree’s lawsuit against the U.S.
: Army, filed in Washington, D.C. (case 99-CV-2709), is an

: affidavit from former CIA Director William Casey. Judge
: Colleen Kollar-Kotelly entered a Sealing Order for the
: Casey document, marked “Top Secret”. In this affidavit,
: Jesuit-trained, Knight of Malta, William Casey reveals in
: very clear language his philosophy. (Readers, harken back
: to our May 2000 Front-Page story on the “Black” Pope and
: the Jesuits and their front-and-center role in the “shadow
: government” on a WORLD scale.) Since this document is in
: the “public domain” from several sources, it is included
: here.

: [Quoting from the affidavit of William Casey:]

: I, William J. Casey, declare: I have found that freedom is a
: priceless commodity that demands constant vigilance to
: guarantee its longevity.

: I was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in
: London, England, during World War II. During that time I
: befriended a young German soldier named Gunther
: [Russbacher]. I used Gunther and several other anti-Nazi
: German prisoners of war in OSS operations within Nazi
: Germany.

: I knew this violated Geneva Convention. I did not care. The
: Geneva Convention was but a set of rules governing man’s
: atrocities committed in the name of political ideology. To
: wage war with rules is to prolong human suffering. Open
: warfare is the last resort of a civilized nation and must
: be used sparingly. Wars must be fought savagely, utilizing
: all tools and tricks at hand. Gunther was a tool. Ignoring
: the Geneva Convention was the trick.

: After I became Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) on
: January 28, 1981, I was approached and briefed by William
: Colby, former DCI. My history with Bill Colby is known.
: Colby notified me, off the record, of two operations he was
: still running in Latin America. Both operations were
: without the knowledge and consent of the United States
: Congress, President Ronald Reagan, or even the United
: States intelligence apparatus. Colby identified the
: operations as “A-6” (RED MIST) AND “A-7” (PROJECT SANDMAN).
: A-7 entailed smaller operations.

: I was told that A-6 identified individuals and the build-up of
: the communist threat in Latin America. Some intelligence
: collected in A-6 was used in TASK FORCE-157.

: I was told that A-7 was “the Phoenix Program” of Latin
: America. It involved the assassination of the communist
: infrastructure throughout Latin America.

: I was told that Colby authorized assets involved in A-6 and
: A-7 to engage in narcotics trafficking to finance both
: operations. Colby engaged in similar operations that I know
: of in Vietnam for the same reason.

: Colby candidly informed me that he had pre-positioned more
: than one million pounds of cocaine in Panama between
: December 1, 1975 and April 1, 1976. This was done with the
: aid of our gallant ally, General Manuel Noriega. The
: cocaine was transported into El Salvador, Costa Rica, and
: Honduras between 1976 and 1981. Colby now sat in front of
: me, with hat in hand, and requested my help in the delivery
: of the cocaine to the American market.

: I was told that Colby was using a mutual friend of ours,
: Colonel Albert Vincent Carone, United States Army, Military
: Intelligence, to field A-6 and A-7. Al Carone is a
: charismatic patriot that General Joseph W. Stilwell
: introduced us to in late 1945. Beside the usual
: qualifications, Al Carone brought to the anti-communist
: effort a direct connection to his longtime friend, Vito
: Genovese. Genovese was the head of the gambling and
: narcotics for the controlling mafia family in New York to
: which Al Carone was made a member. Carone is a friend of
: international fugitive Robert Vesco. Carone has several
: anti-communist intelligence sources that include Maurita
: Lorenz, a friend of Fidel Castro. Al Carone is the younger
: brother of Dr. Pasquale Carone. Dr. Carone worked for
: Central Intelligence on other matters.

: Colby told me that profits from the pre-positioned cocaine
: would be laundered through Al Carone, the New York mafia,
: and Robert Vesco, then redirected to the anticommunist
: effort through Colby.
: After discussion with Al Carone, I made the decision to bring
: the pre-positioned cocaine into Mena airport, Mena,
: Arkansas. Central Intelligence has used Mena Airport on
: prior occasions. This time the cocaine is the tool. The
: trick was to ignore the law and avoid public scrutiny. We
: were helped in our efforts by William J. Clinton and
: William F. Weld.

: By 1984 all pre-positioned cocaine had arrived at Mena
: airport, and additional cocaine sources were secured.
: Cocaine was being trans-shipped through Hangars Four and
: Five at Ilopango Airbase, El Salvador. My point man at Mena
: was Alder Berriman Seal (Berry Seal).

: Bill Clinton has proved invaluable so far by containing the
: local law enforcement investigations into the intelligence
: activity in Mena. Bill Weld, as Assistant United States
: Attorney, was placed in charge of the Criminal Division of
: the Department of Justice. This was done so that Bill Weld
: could control investigations into Mena by federal law
: enforcement agencies. The placement of Weld has proved
: invaluable.
: I ordered John Poindexter, Robert McFarlane and Oliver North
: to go outside normal channels and use available assets,
: including the mafia, to ensure the arrival of the cocaine
: into Mena Airport. The arrivals occurred in no small part
: through the effort of personnel assigned to the National
: Security Agency (NSA) and Army Security Agency (ASA). The
: men and women of the NSA and ASA blinded early warning
: defense satellites and radar grid to enable the aircraft to
: land undetected at Mena Airport. The NSA and ASA operations
: were SEA SPRAY and JADE BRIDGE.
: I have learned that the course of the democratic struggle for
: Nicaragua and Latin America is beginning to swing in our
: direction. I attribute this success to A-6 and A-7 which
: Bill Colby had the insight, precision, and spine to carry
: out.
: I take notice of the heroic efforts of Al Caron, Bill Clinton,
: Bill Weld, John Poindexter, Bud McFarlane, and Ollie North.
: Without these men, A-6 and A-7 would not have appeared.

: Freedom is a priceless commodity. The amount of freedom you
: enjoy is the result of the amount of vigilance you invest.
: My actions may be recorded as criminal, condemning countless
: Americans to drug dependency. I don’t care. All wars
: produce casualties. Generally the more violent the war, the
: shorter the length. My choice was either to stare down a
: protracted cold war guerilla insurgency in Latin America or
: use the means available to finance and wage a violent war
: of short duration for democracy. I stand by my decisions.
: The tool is cocaine. The trick is to understand that the
: drug user had the freedom to make a choice. They chose the
: drug. I chose to use their habit to finance the democracy
: that all Americans enjoy. To keep those Americans safe from
: the communist threat knocking on our back door in Latin
: America. For a change, the drug user will contribute to
: society.

: I declare under penalty of perjury that the above facts are
: true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
: Executive this 9th day of December 1986 in McLean, Virginia.
: William J. Casey
: [End quoting]

: Here is a classic case of the ages-old question: “Do the ends
: justify the means?” When that moral issue enters the
: decision-making machinery of the intelligence community,
: things can quickly get quite bizarre.
