Program Transcript: Bill Simpich

[Peter Lemkin]

He has a very good handle on what might have been going on at the CIA (a mole hunt) using Oswald's file as disinformation to spot the mole. And it is very interesting that the anonymous "construction man" who gave DPD the initial description of the shooter (broadcast at 12:45 PM, before Mr. Brennan talks to Agent Sorrells) used the very bits of dis-information Mr. Simpich suggests was planted in Oswald's file. Does that mean that Angleton's mole hunt worked? Or does it mean that the mole hunt was detected and turned back against the CIA?

I think what Simpich is suggesting is the second....that the mole hunt was penetrated or turned [by whoever triggered the initial mole hunt] and used to blackmail most of rest of the CIA [and other intelligence apparatus] to forever keep their silence on what they might know [and not REALLY explore what they might not]....as well as to withhold documents, tell lies, create false trails, etc.
Some who were working in or had once been in the CIA were involved [as were other groupings] - but they blackmailed all that were not...and managed also to blackmail those portions of their agencies or groupings not in on the plot...it was a 'beautiful' coup from the point of the plotters....50 years on and only a handful [regarded by most of American society as paranoid conspiracy theorists] have a grip on what the elephant in the [darkened] room looks like from sensing parts of it. The plot was amazingly complex....amazingly complex and fantastic tradecraft - strictly fascist and putschist ideology. We had a coup d'etat. We live under it still.
