Operation Watchtower[303]
10th Special Forces based at Ft. Devens, Massachusetts.
Operation Orwell
Army Colonel Edward P. Cutolo, who had been ordered by the CIA to supervise Operation Watchtower, grew increasingly concerned about its flagrant illegality, and conducted an investigation in an attempt to bring it to a halt. Fearing he might be killed because of his investigation, he prepared a fifteen-page single-spaced affidavit dated March 11, 1980, describing the CIA drug trafficking and other activities. Cutolo gave copies of it to several trusted friends[304] with instructions to release the affidavit to government officials and the media if he was killed or died. He was prophetic.

Referring to the Mossad, Neri‘s cover letter stated: With the deaths of Col. Cutolo, Col. Baker, Col. Rowe (and Col. Robert Bayard named in Col. Cutolo’s affidavit) it is hard to believe the deaths of these men are not the work of the Israeli Mossad.
Since the Israeli Mossad openly traffics in arms and drugs in Latin America, a theory that Clines, Wilson, Terpil, Harari and Noriega engaged in Operation Watchtower is very easy to believe at this time, especially following the Libyan situation and the Iran-Contra affair. It all fits, this entire scenario carried over from Operation Watchtower directly into the Iran-Contra affair with the same characters.
Before he was murdered, Colonel Rowe also tried to get CBS‘s 60 Minutes interested in the contents of the Cutolo affidavit, the murders, and the CIA crimes. CBS replied on July 13, 1987, refusing to proceed with the matter. Despite the responsibility of the media to expose government corruption, CBS chose to cover up. This cover-up made possible the continuation of the drug trafficking and more murders. Over the years I encountered many deep-cover drug-pilots who offered evidence of the CIA drug trafficking to each of the television and radio networks, and discovered the usual cover-up.
General Carl W. Stiner,
Operation Orwell, was to monitor civilian targets to determine if Operation Watchtower had been discovered, and the probability that an investigation or governmental inquiry would be requested as a result of such discovery.
included U.S. Senators John Kerry and Ted Kennedy,
Killing Our Own Personnel Tyree stated in his affidavit that once the rescue helicopters entered Colombian airspace they and the extracted SAT team became liabilities, and orders were given to three U.S. Army “Cobra” attack helicopters to shoot them down upon their return to Panama. The orders allegedly were not carried out because of the presence of U.S. troops in the area, and that the troops would witness the shoot-down and associated deaths.
During the 1976 Watchtower operation, Tyree said that the pilots appeared to be mercenaries who spoke several foreign languages and had German, French, and English accents, while the pilots and lead personnel in the first 1975 operations appeared younger and acted as if they were U.S. Army or U.S. Navy personnel. He thought that British Special Air Service (S.A.S.) pilots were on some of the flights.
In 1994, President Clinton appointed Army General John Shalikashvili Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Shalikashvili was the commander of the army unit that carried out Operation Watchtower shortly after he went to another command. Colonel Cutolo succeeded Shalikashvili as the group commander of the 10th Special Forces Group, Airborne (SFG(A). Since the drug trafficking in Operation Watchtower disturbed Colonel Cutolo, it can be assumed that higher authority, or prior command, originated the operation.
Jonestown Tragedy Tyree had been part of a team operating in Surinam and French Guiana, among other countries, and had insider information about Jim Jones and Jonestown in Guyana. Tyree wrote about former personnel from Army Special Forces groups training some of the enforcers at Jonestown prior to the mass murders and suicides. Tyree wrote that Congressman Leo Ryan who had traveled to Jonestown to investigate allegations of wrongdoings was to have been protected by an Army Special Forces team, but that the team did not appear until after the congressman had been assassinated.
Two facts in dispute are: (A) Did the Special Forces team deliberately delay in reaching Jonestown? If so, why did they delay, and on whose orders did they delay? (B) That the Special Forces teams were the people that actually killed the U.S. Representative. This is possible, as the person who told me that version is a person who has always proved to be a creditable source. A number of Special Forces were training the ranchers in and around the Jonestown complex in security measures.

More Fuel for Charges That CIA Was Involved in Kennedy’s Assassination Parker said that after President Kennedy decided to pull U.S. troops out of the CIA Vietnam operation, which would cause the loss of billions of dollars from the CIA drug trafficking, certain CIA factions decided to assassinate Kennedy. Pegasus people learned of the plot and told Kennedy two weeks before he was assassinated.
Parker stated that after Kennedy’s death the Pegasus unit was not able to function as intended because of the corrupt activities of U.S. presidents after the Kennedy assassination. He named Johnson, Nixon and Bush, as knowing of the planned assassination, and that the Pegasus group had taped telephone conversations making reference to the operation. He stated that Reagan was not implicated like the others; he was more of a figurehead for powerful factions controlled by former CIA Director Bush.
Parker described the necessity of Pegasus going underground within the CIA because of the inability to report to a president, and that the files on corrupt CIA operations gathered by the Pegasus group were moved to various secret locations. Denver was one of the sites.
Congressman Larry McDonald.
Operation Mother Goose Parker told me his various assignments in the CIA from when he first joined the Office of Naval Intelligence. He was involved during 1964 in the CIA scheme called Operation Mother Goose dealing with joint military selection, recruitment, and training of qualified enlisted men with security ratings. These people were educated and trained in basic covert and undercover activities. After training they were released from active military duty to enroll in colleges and universities under the GI Bill. While under CIA supervision, they infiltrated student activities and student

Operation Back Draft. This operation provided financial assistance to students while attending college and trained them to infiltrate and disrupt student activities.
Operation Anaconda Another CIA assignment was participation in Operation Anaconda in the mid-1970s, through which CIA personnel ran for state and federal political office.
Describing Meeting Foster At Mena Parker described[324] a meeting he had at Mena, Arkansas at which there were present CIA asset Terry Reed and Rose Law Firm partner Vincent Foster. Parker said that CIA money laundering was the primary topic of discussion. This meeting provided extra support for the fact that the law firm was involved in the CIA-related activities.
Martha Honey,
Shackley was instrumental in setting up the CIA drug trafficking into the United States from South America. Bowen said that the series of flights went from Miami, to Colombia, to Quayaqui, to Lima, and then to Arequita.
I said to Bowen that Russbacher had told me of the three factions within the CIA that had different and contradictory agendas, and that Russbacher was with the Office of Naval Intelligence faction. Bowen replied, “The naval intelligence faction is the most dangerous of them all. I grew up with them in Arlington.”

Abbott was eventually released. After his release on probation, Abbott tried to obtain media interest in DEA drug trafficking, including the Larry King Show. He had no more success than I had during 30 years of attempting to expose the escalating government corruption, including 10 years of reports to Larry King.
