Martin forteller i forbindelse med denne virksomheten om et spesielt
interessant møte han var med på i Miami. Foruten han selv, var blant annet
Oliver North og Don Gregg til stede, og det var på dette møtet at Martin ble
informert om to svært hemmelige operasjoner. Dette var Operation Orpheus
og Sledgehammer 485 , og Martin forteller videre om dem:
“Orpheus was the idea that, if what later became known as ‘Iran-Contra’ fell apart
early and everything spilled out publicly, it would have been potentially necessary to
institute a silent coup against the Government of the United States.
Obviously it would be done with the tacit support of said government, in which
case Oliver North would have been a prominent member of the new post-silent coup
administration. He would then control political fallout, which would have been
tremendous, if all of Iran-Contra fell apart and became revealed to the public.
But it went beyond that. Orpheus actually went to the point, where if liability
could not be controlled, it would be necessary for Casey, North, and George Bush to
secretly formulate and potentially launch an outright coup d’etat against the
Government of the United States. These were the three principals involved.
(…)*T+his would have been an outright coup. It was envisioned that George Bush
would become acting President of the new Provisional Military Government of the
United States. In order to do this, the pretext was going to be a limited nuclear
exchange with the Soviet Union, wherein we would create a situation, a catalyst as it
were, a military confrontation that would lead to a limited nuclear exchange. This
would be in cooperation by the way with certain hardline elements within the Soviet
military. That was the whole idea of the Orpheus Project.
(…) It was quite frightening what North and Casey and Bush were actually
prepared to do to cover up what they were doing. They understood the egregiousness
of what they were doing. They also understood that if Iran-Contra fell apart, then
everything else fell apart that came before it.
All of the preceding conspiracies and coverups including the post-war conspiracies
and cover-ups might also fall apart. That’s what they were actually afraid of. And the
temerity of this was such that it would require a new government with an iron fist. It
would also require the cooperation of the Soviet Union because there were many
hardliners who were also very interested in getting rid of the new and tender
Gorbachev. The hardliners in the Russian military saw him as a tremendous threat. So
there became commonality between hard line interests in both the United States and
the Soviet Union to maintain the status quo.
The status quo of the Cold War was very good for business, and it was very good
for maintenance of old power structures and cabals. Those who had benefitted from it
on both sides didn’t want to give it up.” 486
