33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know Pt 2
13.The BCCI
Scandal: The Bank of Credit and Commerce
International (BCCI) was a major international bank founded in 1972 by
Agha Hasan Abedi, a Pakistani financier. The Bank was registered in
Luxembourg. Within a decade BCCI touched its peak, it operated in 78
countries, had over 400 branches, and had assets in excess of US$ 20
billion making it the 7th largest private bank in the world by assets.
In the late 1980's BCCI became the target of a two year undercover
operation conducted by the US Customs Service. This operation concluded
with a fake wedding that was attended by BCCI officers and drug dealers
from around the world who had established a personal friendship and
working relationship with undercover Special Agent Robert Mazur. After a
six month trial in Tampa, key bank officers were convicted and received
lengthy prison sentences. Bank officers began cooperating with law
enforcement authorities and that cooperation caused BCCI’s many crimes
to be revealed. BCCI came under the scrutiny of regulatory bodies and
intelligence agencies in the 1980s due to its perceived avoidance of
falling under one regulatory banking authority, a fact that was later,
after extensive investigations, proven to be false. BCCI became the
focus of a massive regulatory battle in 1991 and was described as a
"$20-billion-plus heist". Investigators in the U.S. and the UK revealed
that BCCI had been "set up deliberately to avoid centralized regulatory
review, and operated extensively in bank secrecy jurisdictions. Its
affairs were extraordinarily complex. Its officers were sophisticated
international bankers whose apparent objective was to keep their affairs
secret, to commit fraud on a massive scale, and to avoid detection."
This is a report from July 23, 1991 on the BCCI:
14.CIA Drug Running in LA: Pulitzer Prize Award winning
journalist Gary Webb exposed this alongside LAPD Narcotics Officer
turned whislteblower and author Michael Ruppert, CIA Contract Pilot
Terry Reed, and many others. In August 1996 the San Jose Mercury
News published Webb's "Dark Alliance", a 20,000 word,
three-part investigative series which alleged that Nicaraguan drug
traffickers had sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles during
the 1980s, and that drug profits were used to fund the CIA-supported
Nicaraguan Contras. Webb never asserted that the CIA directly aided drug
dealers to raise money for the Contras, but he did document that the
CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large shipments of
cocaine into the U.S. by the Contra personnel. "Dark Alliance" received
national attention. At the height of the interest, the web version of it
on San Jose Mercury News website received 1.3 million hits a day.
According to the Columbia Journalism Review, the series became "the most
talked-about piece of journalism in 1996 and arguably the most
famous—some would say infamous—set of articles of the decade."
April 6, 1987 Report on CIA Drug Running:
15.Gulf of Tonkin Never Happened:The Gulf of Tonkin Incident is the name
given to two separate incidents involving the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam and the United States in the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. On
August 2, 1964 two American destroyers engaged three North Vietnamese
torpedo boats, resulting in the sinking of one of the torpedo boats.This
was also the single most important reason for the escalation of the
Vietnam War.After Kennedy was assassinated, the Gulf of Tonkin gave the
country the sweeping support for aggressive military action against the
North Vietnamese.
The outcome of the incident was the passage by Congress of the Gulf of
Tonkin Resolution, which granted President Lyndon B. Johnson the
authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was
considered to be jeopardized by "communist aggression".In 2005, an
internal National Security Agency historical study was declassified; it
concluded that USS Maddox had engaged the North Vietnamese on August 2,
but that there may not have been any North Vietnamese vessels present
during the engagement of August 4. The report stated “It is not simply
that there is a different story as to what happened; it is that no
attack happened that night…”In truth, Hanoi's navy was engaged in
nothing that night but the salvage of two of the boats damaged on August
2.In 1965,
President Johnson commented privately: "For all I know, our
Navy was shooting at whales out there."
In 1981, Captain Herrick and journalist Robert Scheer re-examined
Herrick's ship's log and determined that the first torpedo report from
August 4, which Herrick had maintained had occurred—the "apparent
ambush"—was in fact unfounded.In
1995, retired Vietnamese Defense
Minister Vo Nguyen Giap, meeting with former Secretary of Defense
McNamara, categorically denied that Vietnamese gunboats had attacked
American destroyers on August 4, while admitting to the attack on August
2.In the
Fall of 1999, retired senior CIA engineering executive S.
Eugene Poteat wrote that he was asked in early August 1964 to determine
if the radar operator's report showed a real torpedo boat attack or an
imagined one.In
October, 2005 the New York Times reported that Robert J.
Hanyok, a historian for the U.S. National Security Agency, had
concluded that the NSA deliberately distorted the intelligence reports
that it had passed on to policy-makers regarding the August 4, 1964
incident. He concluded that the motive was not political but was
probably to cover up honest intelligence errors.
November 9th, 1995 New Clip on Gulf of Tonkin:
16.The Business Plot:In 1933, group of wealthy
businessmen that allegedly included the heads of Chase Bank, GM,
Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush
tried to recruit Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler to lead a
military coup against President FDR and install a fascist dictatorship
in the United States. And yes, we're talking about the same Prescott
Bush who fathered one US President and grandfathered another one.Smedley
Butler was both a patriot and a vocal FDR supporter. Apparently none of
these criminal masterminds noticed that their prospective point man had
actively stumped for FDR in 1932.Smedley spilled the beans to a
congressional committee in 1934.
Everyone he accused of being a conspirator vehemently denied it, and
none of them were brought up on criminal charges. Still, the House
McCormack-Dickstein Committee did at least acknowledge the existence of
the conspiracy, which ended up never getting past the initial planning
stages.Though many of the people who had allegedly backed the Business
Plot also maintained financial ties with Nazi Germany up through
America's entry into World War II. In 1934, the Business Plot was
publicly revealed by retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler
testifying to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee. In his
testimony, Butler claimed that a group of men had approached him as part
of a plot to overthrow Roosevelt in a military coup. One of the alleged
plotters, Gerald MacGuire, vehemently denied any such plot. In their
final report, the Congressional committee supported Butler's allegations
of the existence of the plot, but no prosecutions or further
investigations followed, and the matter was mostly forgotten.
On July 17, 1932, thousands of World War I veterans converged on
Washington, D.C., set up tent camps, and demanded immediate payment of
bonuses due them according to the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of
1924. This "Bonus Army" was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army
sergeant. The Army was encouraged by an appearance from retired Marine
Corps Major General Smedley Butler, who had considerable influence over
the veterans, being one of the most popular military figures of the
time. A few days after Butler's arrival, President Herbert Hoover
ordered the marchers removed, and their camps were destroyed by US Army
cavalry troops under the command of General Douglas MacArthur.
Butler, although a self-described Republican, responded by supporting
Roosevelt in that year's election. In a 1995 History Today article
Clayton Cramer argued that the devastation of the Great Depression had
caused many Americans to question the foundations of liberal democracy.
"Many traditionalists, here and in Europe, toyed with the ideas of
Fascism and National Socialism; many liberals dallied with Socialism and
Communism." Cramer argues that this explains why some American business
leaders viewed fascism as a viable system to both preserve their
interests and end the economic woes of the Depression.

17.July 20, 1944 Conspiracy to Assassinate Hitler:Among
another 20 some odd attempts, this one was one of the largest
conspiracies involving hundreds of loyalists in the highest echelons of
Hitler’s inner circle.Near the end of WWII, things were rapidly going
south for Germany and the time seemed ripe for guilt-ridden Nazi
officers to assassinate Hitler and overthrow his government. Colonel
Henning von Tresckow recruited Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg to join
the conspiracy in 1944.The plot to take out Hitler and then all of his
loyal officers was called Operation Valkyrie.
The plan was to use the Continuity of Government Proceedings during an
assassination on Hitler’s life to take over full control of the
government in Germany.The assassination would be blamed on the Nazi SS
and therefore allow Stauffenberg to take full control of all aspects of
the government.It
almost worked.In
July 1944, Stauffenberg was promoted
so that he could now start attending military strategy meetings with
Hitler himself. On more than one occasion Stauffenberg planned to kill
Hitler at such a meeting with a briefcase bomb, but he always held off
because he also wanted to take out Hitler's two right-hand men, Hermann
Goering and Heinrich Himmler. On July 20, he went for it anyway and
exploded a bomb inside Hitler's conference room with a remote detonator.
Hitler survived only minor injuries.
18.Operation Ajax: For years, Britain had a spiffy
trade deal with Iran regarding their prodigious oil fields. The
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was basically a giant money machine for the
Anglo half, while the Iranian half got shafted. That all changed in 1951
when Iran nationalized the AIOC and the Iranian parliament elected
Mohammed Mossadegh as Prime Minister. Mossadegh was relatively secular,
something that pissed of Iranian clerics, but he was also very
nationalistic.He
was a democratically elected, pro American figure but
the West saw his nationalizing of the oil fields a communist
move(something Mossadegh thought was the right of the people to profit
and pay for services in the country with).Those oil fields were under
the control of British Petroleum, but unfortunately Mossadegh overruled
this long standing business control.The United States sent Kermit
Roosevelt, FDR’s nephew and CIA coordinator in to figure out the mess.
The best he could come up with was to confront Mossadegh and have him
overthrown and this was accomplished by bringing in what the agency
refers to as “jackals.”The United States backed the return of the Shah
of Iran, one of the most brutal dictators the country had ever seen and
intentionally overthrew years before with the democratic leader,
Mossadegh.Until 1979, that is, when a pissed off Iranian populace
finally revolted and replaced the monarchy with an anti-West Islamic
Republic.The result was a violently anti-American revolution lead by the
Ayatollah Khomeini which overthrew the Shah and took hostage US Embassy
workers, many of whom were involved in the plot with Kermit Roosevelt
that installed the Shah.The planning for the Coup took place largely in
that embassy, but Americans were told this was due to the rise of
radical Islam and rise of democracy hating Muslims, which of course was
far from the truth.

19.Operation Snow White:Some time during the 1970s, the
Church of Scientology decided that they'd had enough.Apparently, the
Church of Scientology managed to perform the largest infiltration of the
United States government in history. Ever.5,000 of Scientology's crack
commandos wiretapped and burglarized various agencies. They stole
hundreds of documents, mainly from the IRS. No critic was spared, and in
the end, 136 organizations, agencies and foreign embassies were
infiltrated.
As early as 1960, L. Ron Hubbard had proposed that Scientologists should
infiltrate government departments by taking secretarial, bodyguard or
other jobs. In the early 1970s, the Church of Scientology was
increasingly scrutinized by US federal agencies, having already been
raided by the Food and Drug Administration in 1963. The Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) claimed it owed millions of dollars in taxes and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sent agents into the organization.
The Church's response involved a publicity campaign, extensive
litigation against the IRS and a program of infiltration of agency
offices.
The specific branch of Scientology responsible for Operation Snow White
was the Guardian's Office. Created in 1966 by L. Ron Hubbard himself,
the Guardian's Office's purpose was to protect the interests of
Scientology. At the time of Operation Snow White, the Guardian's Office
had worldwide headquarters (Guardian’s Office WW) located at Saint Hill
Manor in England. Headquarters in the United States (Guardian’s Office
US) were in Los Angeles, California. A smaller office also existed in
Washington, D.C. (Guardian’s Office DC) and other cities throughout the
United States. Each of the Guardian Offices had five bureaus including
the Information Bureau which oversaw the infiltration of the government.
L. Ron Hubbard oversaw the Guardian's Office, though it was Mary Sue
Hubbard, his wife, who held the title Commodore Staff Guardian.
Several years later, in 1973, the Guardian's Office began a massive
infiltration of governments around the world, though the primary target
of the operation was the United States. Worried about Scientology’s long
term reputation, the Guardian’s Office decided to infiltrate Interpol
in order to obtain documents relating to Scientology, as well as those
connecting L. Ron Hubbard to criminal activity. This duty was handed by
Jane Kember to Henning Heldt and his staff.
Around this time L. Ron Hubbard himself wrote Guardian Order 732, which
called for the removal and correction of “erroneous” Scientology files.
It is here that Operation Snow White has its origins. Though the order
called for this to be achieved by legal means, this would quickly
change. Hubbard himself would later be named by federal prosecutors as
an "unindicted co-conspirator" for his part in the operation. Though
extensive records of his involvement exist, many Scientologists claim
his directives were misinterpreted by his followers.
Operation Snow White would be further refined by Guardian Order 1361.
Addressed from Jane Kember to Heldt, Duke Snider, and Richard Weigand,
GO 1361 called for, amongst other things, an infiltration of the Los
Angeles and London offices of the IRS, and the Department of Justice.
While the order was specific to the IRS, the Guardian’s Office was soon
recruiting their own field agents to infiltrate other governmental
offices, including the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the U.S.
Coast Guard intelligence service, and the National Institute of Mental
Health, among others, as well as the American Medical Association. The
program called for rewards to be given for successful missions carried
out by Scientologists.
Other planned elements of the operation included petitioning governments
and the United Nations to charge government critics of Scientology with
genocide, on the theory that official criticism of the group
constituted "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life
calculated to bring about its physical destruction". One of the
sentencing memoranda in the case also noted that, contrary to what the
defendants claimed, the programs planned by the Guardian's Office were
not restricted to trying to remove "false reports" but included plans to
plant false information—for instance, planting false records about "a
cat with a pedigree name" into US security agency computers so that
later "the creature holds a press conference and photographic story
results." The purpose of this plan was "to hold up the American security
to ridicule, as outlined in the GO by LRH."
The start of 1974 saw a Michael Meisner appointed Assistant Guardian for
Information in the District of Columbia (AG I DC). Meisner’s
responsibilities now included the implementation of all Information
Bureau orders, programs, and projects within the DC area. Meisner’s
supervisor at this tim
