List of known CIA front companies

CIA FRONT COMPANIES[/FONT]

I do not in any way claim that the list below is real but it has been published so many times on the net, and has been analyzed thoroughly with no credible explanations ascertaining any falseness, that I have decided to publish it. Many of the companies no longer exist but it may give you an inkling as to how diversified the “Company” is. Good reading.

Great list. I see some I know of missing, but it comes down to most companies that are large and a host of small ones - everything but the Mom & Pop store on the corner - oh, add them too. I'll try to make a list of some additional and add. I know they are, but can't remember the references - have to look em up. It then becmes the question of whether the intelligence agencies have penetrated the Nation or whether the Nation is now basically run by and for the intelligence agencies [and their masters - as they just do the dirty work and collect the intelligence for them.] I think a true list would run to thousands. I know Coca-Cola was used, many if not a most of the PR firms, Collins Radio, many MIC companies, some investment and banking houses, shipping companies, Media outlets and on and on... America, a wholly owned subsidary of the 'Borg' "We will assimilate you."

[Myra Bronstein]

Wow! Mind blowing list. Great work Maggie.

Oh yes, of course, Collins Radio of Oswald/Tippit infamy.

Life Magazine too of course. They just loved to tag along on secret missions to Cuba to take exclusive pix.

God, is there any company that is NOT a CIA front? Maybe it'd be easier to make a list of those.

[Magda Hassan]

One area not covered is academia. University of Miami for one. MIT for another. Where was all that charming MKULTRA study done?

[Peter Lemkin]

...and most of Howard Hughes companies - all of the latter ones.

BCCI...the list really would be thousands....a good idea for a project. The 'directors' would be of even greater interest, where known - even the dummy directors who only posed as running the business.

Many flight services from the 50s to today. Tosh has mentioned many. Others others have. I'll try to work on this when I have more time. Those doing the renditions...its endless. Maybe a list of those companies NOT fronting for the CIA would be easier - Ben and Gerrys and a few others...

[Jan Klimkowski]

It is important to make a distinction between an organization that has done work for an intelligence agency, and an organization that has little meaningful existence other than as an intelligence agency front.

Noam Chomsky has spent most of his academic career at MIT, but I am most definitely not amongst those who regard him an intelligence agency asset or as a "left gatekeeper".

Whereas Nugan Hand appears to have had no meaningful existence other than as a money laundering and financing company for deep black intelligence operations.

With MSM, the situation is complex. I know of several MSM correspondents who are intelligence agency assets and yet have produced good work on subjects that are of no interest to the spooks. I know of other MSM correspondents whose work has been altered on the orders of their editorial managers who were almost certainly intelligence agency assets.

The biggest problems with MSM occur when senior managers are either "owned" by governments, are "bribable" or "blackmailable"- usually by multinationals, or have simply lost the blazing fire in the belly that is Life or Death to proper journalists.

Michael Mann's excellent movie about Big Tobacco, The Insider, explores the reality of MSM journalistic life very accurately.

In addition, the chronic inability of MSM to ask hard and probing questions of the powerful during crises such as the runup to the second Iraq War or the current global financial catastrophe, reveals a structural failure in big network television in particular. For instance, in Britain, the government imposes a legal duty of "balanced" reporting on the major networks, and refuses to allow them an independent editorial voice. The hugely knowedgeable Robert Fisk could not be employed by the BBC or ITV as a Middle Eastern correspondent because he would refuse to "balance" his pieces as the current incumbents are obliged to.

As the Pacino character discovers in The Insider, moral and honest investigative journalists find their scoops destroyed by management. And such honest journalists, because they have a moral conscience, have their souls crushed by learning that:

i) they cannot get the truth on air - even when lawyers have OK-ed the story;

ii) they cannot honour the promises they made to key sources to persuade them to speak out;

iii) they cannot protect their sources.

There are many many ways in which the truth can be destroyed before it is published, and not all of these necessarily involve the direct intervention of an intelligence agency asset or front company.

All of your points are well taken Jan. There are at least four flavors [like subatomic particles]....

...the non-Corporation - with only a room, desk and incorporation papers - maybe one or a few employees playing golf. Just a front and cut-out.

...the Corporation that does favors when asked for the Company or other intelligence agencies.

...the medium to full-size firm or Company that is dedicated to working for intelligence and what they do other is only for cover.

...the Corporation that has some persons within working for intelligence, while others have no idea and are not.

...there may be other flavors or combinations......

I much liked your very observant post Jan (quite apart from The Insider being one of my favourite all time films).
