Lies, Lies, and More Dirty Lies that the Government Tells Us


by Jesse Ventura with Dick Russell
Skyhorse Publishing, 2011, paperback


Albert Einstein
A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.
px
Government is nothing but people, and people lie, especially where money
and power are concerned.
pxi
William Burroughs
Paranoia is having all the facts.
pxiii
There is a CIA operative inside every state government.
pxx
I'm a skeptic about anything I read officially from the government. They
don't tell the whole truth. They often seem to have an entirely
different agenda. It's disheartening, to realize that what you read in
the newspapers and the history books may not be accurate.
p11
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth
of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their
democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism--ownership of
government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power.
p12
FDR, after getting elected in 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression,
started implementing his New Deal. He took on the stock speculators and
set up new watchdog agencies. He put a stop to farm foreclosures, and
made employers accept collective bargaining by the unions. And he took
the country off the gold standard, meaning that more paper money could
be available to create jobs for the unemployed and provide loans. That
outraged some of the conservative financiers... the oligarchs of finance
... considered the new president a traitor to his own class, namely
them. Within a year of FDR's taking office, they'd started hatching a
plan to get rid of him.
p14
retired General Smedley Butler, in a speech to an American Legion
convention, 1931
I spent 33 years being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for
Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.
I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown
Brothers in 1909-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe
for American oil interests in 1916. I brought light to the Dominican
Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and
Cuba a decent place for the National City [Bank] boys to collect revenue
in. I helped in the rape of half a dozen Central American republics for
the benefit of Wall Street.
In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way
unmolested. I had a swell racket. I was rewarded with honors, medals,
promotions .... I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he
could do was to operate a racket in three cities. The Marines operated
on three continents.
p14
retired General Smedley Butler to a WWII veterans group
[War is] largely a matter of money. Bankers lend money to foreign
countries and when they cannot repay, the President sends Marines to get
it. I know--I've been in eleven of these expeditions.
p16
former House of Representatives Speaker John McCormack, 1971
A well-organized minority can always outmaneuver an unorganized majority.
p17
Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and
Hope"
There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international
Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the
radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which
we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to
cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently
does so.
p17
Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and
Hope"
The Rhodes Scholarships, established by the terms of Cecil Rhodes'
seventh will, are known to everyone. What is not so widely known is that
Rhodes in five previous wills left his fortune to form a secret society,
which was to devote itself to the preservation and expansion of the
British Empire.
... [Funding of this organization later came from groups] associated
with J.P. Morgan, and the Rockefeller and Whitney families.
... [The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is] a front for J.P. Morgan
and Company.
p18
Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and
Hope"
[The goal of a cabal of global financiers linked to J.P. Morgan and
Company was] nothing less than to create a world system of financial
control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each
country and the economy of the world as a whole.
p18
Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley in his book "Tragedy and
Hope"
[The goal of a cabal of global financiers linked to J.P. Morgan and
Company was] nothing less than to create a world system of financial
control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each
country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be
controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world
acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private
meetings and conferences. Each central bank... sought to dominate its
government by its ability to control treasury loans, to manipulate
foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the
country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic
rewards in the business world.
... The American branch of this 'English Establishment exerted much of
its influence through five American newspapers (the New York Times, the
New York Herald Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor, the Washington
Post, and the Boston Evening Transcript).
p18
The wealthiest CEOs of the world have been coming together [Bilderberg
Group] with the political elite from Europe and America since 1954, when
they first met at the Bilderberg Hotel in a little Dutch town called
Oosterbeek. The Bilderberg deep pockets reach back centuries, to royalty
who still believe they're the entitled ones and the rest of us are
merely cannon fodder.
p19
In 2007, an American investigative journalist named John Buchanan found
documents from the [congressional] McCormack-Dickstein Committee in the
National Archives. These directly linked Prescott Bush [father of George
HW Bush] to the power brokers (Morgan, DuPont, Remington, and others)
who were behind the plan to get rid of FDR. This got some play in the
U.K., but not a word in the mainstream American press.
p19
Kevin Phillip's book on the Bush family "American Dynasty"
We have no reliable way of knowing exactly why, after 1933, men like
Averell Harriman, George Walker, and Prescott Bush, the Dulles brothers,
James Forrestal, Henry Ford, and several Rockefellers, maintained
investment relationships with Hitler's Germany, in a few cases up to
(and even after) Pearl Harbor.
p39
journalist Carl Bernstein in a Rolling Stone article "The CIA and the
Media", 1977, showed how strongly mainstream news organizations were
tied to the CIA
By far the most valuable ... associations, according to CIA officials
have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc... Over the years,
the [CBS] network provided cover for CIA employees, including at least
one well-known foreign correspondent and several stringers... A
high-level CIA official with a prodigious memory says that the New York
Times provided cover for about ten CIA operatives between 1950 and 1966.
p42
journalist Carl Bernstein in a Rolling Stone article "The CIA and the
Media", 1977, showed how strongly mainstream news organizations were
tied to the CIA
[Joseph] Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the
past twenty-five years have secretly carried out assignments for the
Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA
headquarters. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine
services--from simple intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens
with spies in Communist countries.
p43
When Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" came out in 1991, the strongest attacks
came from news outlets and journalists with the longest records of error
and obstruction in defense of the flawed Warren Commission inquiry.
p47
Many of our public figures who've been killed--John Lennon, Malcolm X,
and Dr. King--all seem to be under [US government] surveillance first
and then assassinated later.
p54
In 1999, the [Martin Luther] King family brought a wrongful death
lawsuit in a Tennessee Circuit Court. A nearly month-long trial ensued.
Seventy witnesses were called. It took the jury only two and a half
hours to come back with a verdict that Dr. King was assassinated by a
conspiracy that included agencies of his own government.
p55
The FBI director [J Edgar Hoover[ had a series of meetings with persons
involved with the CIA and military intelligence (MI) in the three weeks
before [Martin Luther] King's assassination ... there were MI agents as
well as Green Berets in Memphis the night he was shot.
p60
The Army's 111th Military Intelligence (MI) Group was keeping [Martin
Luther] King under round-the-clock surveillance during the garbage
strike in Memphis [in the] spring of 1968. One of the MI guys, Marrell
McCollough, was undercover with the Memphis police--and ... was also
involved in the planning sessions for the assassination.
... [MLK family attorney William F] Pepper's investigation found that
McCullough went on to work for the CIA in the 1970s.
p65
Robert Kennedy in a speech in the U.S. Senate, May 9, 1966
A revolution is coming--a revolution which will be peaceful if we are
wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are
fortunate enough--but a revolution is coming whether we will it or not.
We can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability.
p92
In order to climb the ladder of the two political parties in our current
system, you have to condone their corruption... most people, when they
initially start in politics, are good people. They come into the system
wanting to do their job, to change things. But the longer you stay in
the system, the more corrupt you become.
p98
Dan Mitrione [was] an FBI agent and full-time spook operating undercover
with the Agency for International Development (AID). Mitrione trained
Latin American cops in interrogation techniques that included the use of
torture and drugs.

Dan Mitrione [was] an FBI agent and full-time spook operating undercover
with the Agency for International Development (AID). Mitrione trained
Latin American cops in interrogation techniques that included the use of
torture and drugs.
In 1970, he was taken hostage and murdered by Uruguay's Tupamaros
guerrillas. [People's Temple
Reverend Jim] Jones admitted having stayed friends with Mitrione. He
even referred to him several times in taped speeches at Jones town.
The CIA claimed after Jonestown that its file on "the Rev. Jimmie Jones"
was almost empty. Actually, the CIA's Office of Security had opened a
201-file on Jones in the early 1960s, when he took off for Rio de
Janeiro. Agency records showed that file stayed open for ten years, only
being closed for no explained reason after Mitrione was killed. So it
seems pretty likely that Mitrione had recruited Jones into the CIA,
using the Department as his cover.
p114
More than 700,000 of America's estimated 20 million pot-smokers got
arrested in 2008. About half of the 200,000 inmates in our federal
prisons are in there for drug-related offenses. Between 1970 and 2007,
we saw a 547 percent increase in our prison population, mainly because
of our drug policies... [In] the new prison-industrial complex,
corporations are now running the show. We as taxpayers shell out $68
billion every year for prisons, and a lot of that ends up going into
private contractors' pockets.
p114
About half of the 200,000 inmates in our federal prisons are in there
for drug-related offenses.
p114
American banks are collectively the world's largest financial
beneficiary of the drug trade.
p114
The heroin epidemic that ravaged our cities during the fifties and
sixties originated with the CIA out of Southeast Asia. Almost from the
moment of their founding in 1947, the CIA was giving covert support to
organized drug traffickers in Europe and the Far East, and eventually
the Middle East and Latin America. During the Vietnam War, heroin was
being smuggled into this country in the bodies of soldiers being flown home.
p115
Toward the end of American involvement over there in 1975 [Vietnam], a
former Green Beret named Michael Hand arranged a 500-pound shipment of
heroin from Southeast Asia's "Golden Triangle" to the U.S. by way of
Australia. That's where Hand had set up shop as vice chair of the Nugan
Hand Bank, which was linked by the Australian Narcotics Bureau to a drug
smuggling network that "exported some $3 billion [Australian] worth of
heroin from Bangkok prior to June 1976. Several CIA guys ... used the
Nugan Hand bank to channel funds for covert operations. By 1979, the
bank had 22 branches in 13 countries and $1 billion in annual business.
p116
In the mid- 1980s, [Oliver] North got together with four companies that
were owned and operated by drug dealers, and arranged payments from the
State Department for shipping supplies to the [Nicaraguan] Contras.
... What became known as the Iran-Contra affair came to light in
November 1986. We were selling arms to Iran, breaking an arms embargo,
in order to fund the contras.
p119
The Reagan-Bush gang is gone, and Clinton is now president. [In] 1996
the San Jose Mercury News came out with a remarkable 20,000-word series
by reporter Gary Webb that he'd been researching for more than a year.
It described a pipeline between Colombian cartels, middlemen, and street
gangs in South Central L.A. that involved tons of crack cocaine... The
crack was being funneled to a young new-millionaire named "Freeway"
Ricky Donnell Ross, who supplied it to the Crips and Bloods and
beyond... How involved was the CIA in the crack epidemic then raging
across our country?
p121
The CIA is into drugs ... because they can get money to operate with,
and not have to account to Congress for what they're doing.
p121
[The Bank of Credit and Commerce International] BCCI ... was involved in
drug-money transactions ... ClA Director [William] Casey was relying on
BCCI to distribute American assistance to the Afghan mujahideen who were
fighting the Russians at the time. Except most of the aid went to the
faction controlled by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who was probably the leading
heroin trafficker in the world. Pakistani president Muhammad Zia in 1983
let local traffickers put their drug profits into BCCI.
... BCCI was the seventh biggest bank on the planet when it collapsed,
shortly after the Soviets withdrew their troops from Afghanistan.
p122
according the United Nations
Money made in illicit drug trade has been bused to keep banks afloat in
the global financial crisis.
p122
Dennis Dayle, a forms DEA agent in the Middle East, at an anti-drug
conference
In my 30-year history in the Drug Enforcement Administration and related
agencies, the major targets of my investigations almost invariably
turned out to be working for the CIA.
p125
Beginning in the nineties, drug dealers in Mexico were taking charge of
half of Colombia's drug trade into the U. S.. While Mexico used to be
just the trans shipping point from South America, now it was a major
producer and distributor... between $19 billion and $39 billion in
proceeds from drugs heads back south [to Mexico]every year from the U.S.
p125
[In Mexico] between December 2006 and the spring of 2009, more than
10,780 people were killed. And most of the guns fueling the violence are
coming from the U.S.. About 87 percent of the firearms that Mexican
authorities have seized over the last five years can be traced to here,
many of them from gun shops and gun shows in the Southwestern border
states. And these are no longer simply handguns, but now military-grade
weaponry and very serious ordnance. How come the manufacturers are not
being held accountable for selling these weapons over the border.
p143
John Farmer, a senior counsel for the 9/11 Commission who drafted the
original [9/11] report
At some level of the government, at some point in time ... there was an
agreement not to tell the truth about what happened [on 9/11].
p43
Jesse Ventura
I am convinced that some people inside our government knew the [9/11]
attack was going to happen and allowed it to come to pass--because it
furthered their political agenda. I don't necessarily believe that they
orchestrated it themselves, although the door is definitely open to that.
p43
Jesse Ventura
I am convinced that some people inside our government knew the [9/11]
attack was going to happen and allowed it to come to pass--because it
furthered their political agenda.
p144
NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command] ... had been ordered to
stand down [on 9/11]. Then LAX [Los Angeles International Airport]
Security wanted to know who could have made that order. And word came
back that it was from the highest level of the White House...
[President] Bush ... was reading 'My Pet Goat' to the school kids in
Florida, so the only other person it could be was Dick Cheney.
p144
September 11 [2001] was the second day of Vigilant Guardian. an exercise
of the Joint Chiefs and NORAD that simulated planes being hijacked in
the Northeastern United States
... Could the attack have been scheduled intentionally to coincide with
those war games? If so, this raises a couple of questions. Either there
was a major intelligence leak, whereby the terrorists realized the war
games would be a good cover for their operation. Or else some people in
the administration knew of the attack ahead of time and let it proceed
simultaneously, knowing the confusion this would cause.
p145
Between September 2000 and June 2001, on 67 different occasions fighter
jets were sent to intercept aircraft that had lost radio contact or
their transponder signal or were flying off course, usually within ten
minutes of any sign of a problem... Then, on June 1, 2001, the existing
hijacking response procedures were changed to require approval by the
secretary of defense before responding to a situation with lethal force.
And when the call came into the Pentagon on 9/11, nobody answered the phone!
p145
According to the 9/11 Commission, [Vice-President Dick] Cheney didn't
arrive underground at the PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations
Center) until almost 10 AM. [Transportation Secretary Norman] Mineta,
however, said the Vice President was already down there when he arrived
at about 9:20 AM. Richard Clarke and Cheney's photographer indicated the
same thing. 'That was before the Pentagon had been hit, an Mineta
recalled that a young man came into the PEOC three times to tell Cheney
how far out the plane was from Washington. After the third report,
according to Mineta, the young fellow asked, "Do the orders still
stand?" and Cheney responded, "Of course the orders still stand. Have
you heard anything to the contrary?" The 9/11 Commission chose to ignore
Mineta's testimony and went so far as to remove it from the video archive.
p148
a firefighter who got dug out of the rubble on 9/11
The one thing that always troubled me is, why were they in such a hurry
to remove all the evidence? Why did they take away everything from the
site as fast and expediently as possible?
p150
former air force fighter pilot Russ Wittenberg about what hit the
Pentagon on 9/11
We don't know what it was, but you can tell what it wasn't [a 757 aircraft].
p150
Major General Albert Stubblebine, retired Commanding General of the U.S.
Army Intelligence and Security Command
I have had a lot of experience looking at photographs. l don't know
exactly what hit it [the Pentagon] but I do know from the photographs I
have analyzed, it was not an airplane. For one thing, if you look at the
hole that was made in the Pentagon, the nose penetrated far enough so
that there should have been wing marks on the side [of the building.
... Whenever there's a plane crash, things are strewn about. So where
are the seats, the luggage? The wings, vertical stabilizers, and engines
were never fully recovered. A number of parts to a 757 are pretty much
indestructible, but not a single piece has ever been positively
identified as originating with Flight 77.
p151
Colonel George Nelson, who during 30 years of service in the air force
served as an aircraft accident investigation board member.
With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon crash site, any
unbiased, rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757
did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged. In all my years of direct and
indirect participation, I never witnessed nor even heard of an aircraft
loss, where the wreckage was accessible, that prevented investigators
from finding enough hard evidence to positively identify the make,
model, and specific registration number of the aircraft--and in most
cases the precise cause of the accident.

served as an aircraft accident investigation board member.
With all the evidence readily available at the Pentagon crash site, any
unbiased, rational investigator could only conclude that a Boeing 757
did not fly into the Pentagon as alleged.
p154
The official story [of 9/11] is that, for the first time in history, the
black boxes were not recovered. Not from any of the four planes... Also
for the first time in history, no attempt was made to reconstruct the
planes with whatever parts they could find.
p154
After 9/11, not a single employee at the FAA or NORAD got punished. In
fact, all the major military men involved received promotions. They
included General Richard Myers, who was named Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
p156
Not one shred of evidence produced in a courtroom leads to the
conclusion that [Osama] bin Laden spearheaded [the attacks on the WTC
and Pentagon].
p164
Theodore Roosevelt, 1895
Too much cannot be said against the men of wealth who sacrifice
everything to getting wealth. There is not in the world a more ignoble
character than the mere money-getting American, insensible to every
duty, regardless of every principle, bent only on amassing a fortune,
and putting his fortune only to the basest uses.
p168
The Federal Reserve ... controls our monetary policy. By changing the
supply of dollars in circulation, they have influence over interest
rates, mortgage payments, whether the financial markets boom or
collapse, and basically whether our economy expands or stumbles. But the
Fed is only partly an institution of government. The stockholders in a
dozen different Federal Reserve banks in different regions of the
country are the big private banks.
The Federal Reserve was created by Congress in 1913, after a financial
panic that led to a secret meeting at banker J.P. Morgan's private
resort, off the coast of Georgia at a place called Jekyll Island.
... What emerged was a cartel agreement with five objectives: stop the
growing competition from the nation's newer banks; obtain a franchise to
create money out of nothing for the purpose of lending; get control of
the reserves of all banks so that the more reckless ones would not be
exposed to currency drains and bank runs; get the taxpayer to pick up
the cartel's inevitable losses; and convince Congress that the purpose
was to protect the public. It was realized that the bankers would have
to become partners with the politicians and that the structure of the
cartel would have to be a central bank.
p183
Henry Wallace, vice president of the United States, 1944
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the
public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving
the fascist and his group more money or more power. American fascism
will not be really dangerous until there is a purposeful coalition among
the cartelists, the deliberate poisoners of public information. They
claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty
guaranteed by the Constitution.
p201
George Orwell, 1984
In vast laboratories in the Ministry of Peace, and in experimental
stations, teams of experts are indefatigably at work searching . ... for
breeds of disease germs immunized against all possible antibodies.
p202
Justice Department attorney John Loftus in his 1982 book "The Belarus
Secret"
Nazi germ warfare scientists came to America [and] experimented with
poison ticks dropped from planes to spread rare diseases... the US.
tested some of these poison ticks on the Plum Island artillery range off
the coast of Connecticut during the early 1950s.
... Plum Island was experimenting with Lone Star ticks and the Cayenne
tick, feeding them on viruses and testing them on pigs in 1975 and
1976--exactly when Lyme disease first showed up across from the island.
At that time, the Lone Star tick was otherwise only found in Texas.
Nobody can explain how it's happened to migrate all across the Eastern
seaboard. Along with its cousin, the deer tick, the Lone Star variety is
known for spreading Lyme disease.
... Germ labs like Plum Island pose a bigger threat to our country than
any terror group... Lyme disease ... is the fastest-growing infectious
illness in America after AIDS.
