Douglas - The CIA Covenant-Nazis in Washington - preterhuman.net

public screening and the other does not. Of course it is obvious that Hollywood is full of left wing activistsbut no one wants to make a distinction between some softheaded left wing idiot and a cold, calculating spy.Well, they will certainly pay for their flirtations with the Mad Maiden of Moscow, won’t they?Friday, 9 June 1950An interesting story today in the papers that I knew about a week ago.Incriminating stolen papers found when the left-wing offices of “Amerasia” were raided in 1945and seized, illegally, by the OSS! It turns out that some of these very sensitive documents clearlyconnected the father of the CIA with procommunist and certainly treasonable activities. Secretary Forrestalhimself tried to block the business but Truman overruled him. Such a rushing around and cover-ups!I can say that a number of my colleagues at the CIA are very frightened the way this “witch hunt”is going and would like to shut McCarthy up for good. I strongly doubt if they would have the nerve to killhim and they probably won’t. They are frightened that their own flirtations with the left, either while incollege or when working for the very pro-Stalin OSS will emerge and ruin their chances in the great shield(and organizer) of current U.S. foreign policy.My knee is bothering me again so I am going to take off a week and give it a rest. I like to walk towork and then take a long stroll around about lunchtime and admire the pretty secretaries out on their lunchhour. I haven’t the time, what with the various CIA wives I have been sleeping with and with Bunny whois seriously thinking of moving into my house (flattering, but to be discouraged for the time being). Toomuch secret work being done there.Saturday, 24 June 1950 through Thursday, 29 June 1950Momentous occasions! I’m putting this down based on brief notes taken over the last five days.Harry decided to go back to his farm on Saturday and everything was very quiet in Washington. Iwas looking at some paintings and seeing to shipping some more degenerate art to New York for a Christiesale. Late in the afternoon, while I was sitting out on the terrace with a glass of iced tea, discussing thegarden with Bunny, Heini came running through the door.“There’s war, boss, war!”I nearly fell out my chair. What was all this about? Someone had called from the agency to tellme, urgently, that the communist (North, ed.) Korean Army had launched a full-scale military attack ontheir southern neighbors! I was to go to the office at once and a car was sent for me. This was in mycapacity as an expert on the Soviets, not as an Asian expert.A disturbed anthill. Those in the agency who had tried to ignore Asia and whose reports will nowcertainly return both to haunt them and ruin their careers, are drinking openly in their offices and yellinglike children caught in a burning barn. The President has just been informed and will be coming back.Acheson is to blame for this by declaring in public a number of times that we were no longerinterested in that area! I warned Harry about this and I will have to see how much good my warning did.The real question here is: Will China join in? Will Russia?I think possibly on the former but negative on the latter. Stalin cannot afford a new war and thatdevious old Turk will find a way to let the Chinese (whom he is not too fond of, take all the risks and allthe blame if they fail) pull his chestnuts out of the fire for him. Oh clever Josef! I can see his hand (at leasthis good one) in all of this.We have no troops there and MacArthur is very slow to react. He was even slower to react inDecember of 1941 when he had eight hours advance notice of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and saton his Imperial Ass and did nothing at all. His air force, which had long-range bombers and could havedone terrible damage to the Japanese fleet and transports, merely sat on the airfields on his specific ordersand did nothing at all although his own generals begged him to let the planes attack! And what happened?His aircraft were destroyed on the ground and there was no counter attack. The Japanese were able to landand crush him and wipe out his army.This time, he’s done nothing either. There was a strange relationship between M. and Rooseveltand we know the general loved money. He got a half a million dollars in cash about this time from thePhilippine government. No one knows why. And Roosevelt had M. evacuated from Manila and lefteveryone else behind. We all know Roosevelt feared MacArthur and the general once said of Rooseveltthat he would never tell the truth if a lie would suffice.So now we have a reprise of 1941.
