Frank Olson Murder

[Charles Drago]

Actually, Jan, it's the "masters" whose identities we must establish.

As for the TC members themselves, I'll start with two suspects:

Yakterina Fursetseva

James Jesus Angleton

Two victims of this perfidy:

George Weisz

John Paisley

The highest profile players in this game:

H.A.R. "Kim" Philby

W. Averell Harriman

Armand Hammer

Focus on all in power who benefit from continuation of the Cold War's -- and its successors' -- confrontations.

Charles - as you suggest, I see mechanics and facilitators in your list, but no sponsors - with the possible exception of Harriman.

The tentacles of Their (im)plausibly deniable cut-outs and coalface profit vehicles can occasionally be discerned. Far West LLC is a contemporary variant of IG Farben, operating in an area where the imposition of Prohibition (in this case, of Class A narcotics) massively increases profits:

These companies are of course tools or vehicles, not sponsors of deep political events.

My own considered judgement is that Gladio is the archetypal expression of Their MO, of a Strategy of Tension to further Their own Ends of Control and Power. Further, I consider Reinhard Gehlen to be an archetypal facilitator.

Charles - you have long been unwilling to identify the Sponsors definitively. Similarly, I am not yet prepared to identify the creators of Gladio and the sponsors of Gehlen.....

As a footnote, I'm prepared to consider Frank Olson as a victim of Their perfidy. On the evidence that I am aware of, I'm not prepared to consider John Paisley a victim.

Correction, Jan: At this point in time I am unable to identify the Sponsors definitively.

While I too have reason to believe that Harriman may have operated on the Sponsorship level, I'm simply not prepared to reach anything close to a definivite judgement. Yet.

As for my Paisley-as-victim posit: I did not and do not claim that he was a victim of the TC. He very well may have been a part of it who was eliminated during an internal conflict of sorts.

In re Gehlen and Gladio: I'm with you.

FYI, the main character of my JFK assassination novel/screenplay, Autumn Too Long, is named Victor Gladio.
