New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) -- the big balloons with radar and other sensors that were doing the aerial surveillance for drug smugglers flying in, to try to avoid radar. A very major project! Two-thirds of the companies that were vendors supporting that project were wholly owned by Earl W. Brian. The contracting officer handling all of those companies was Peter Videnieks, out of the BUREAU OF CUSTOMS! And this was a very large procurement. And Videnieks's job, as contracting officer, was to deal with industry. And he was the point of contact for the vendors in industry to deal with the Government agency. It was his job to communicate and fraternize with the companies that the Government was involved with. That's a normal part of his job description. Now for him to say, in affidavits, denying that he's ever heard of Wackenhut, that he's ever heard of Earl Brian, and Earl Brian's denying that he's ever heard of Peter Videnieks is preposterous! IAN MASTERS: Well, you've personally had to work with both of them. MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO: You see, but what I'm trying to do is establish, on an undisputed basis, collateral from me, or totally independent from me, the fact that these guys do not have a basis to deny knowing each other, or to deny knowing anything about Wackenhut. Here the Chief Operations Officer from Wackenhut takes a leave of absence to go be Commissioner of Customs. And while Commissioner of Customs, he had routine contact -- he might as well still have been at his post at Wackenhut. Internal memoranda suport that. OK? Yet the guy who was Videnieks's boss, and wearing two hats, while running a Government agency -- which is not proper to begin with -- But for Videnieks to deny he's ever heard of Wackenhut is a bunch of baloney. Wackenhut has a working relationship with the Customs Bureau that is second to none for a corporate entity to have with a Government agency. These guys are not talking reality. They're hiding behind a so-called wall of plausible deniability which, if you examine the facts, it is shown to be just that. Now, we get back to the Reservation, and we get back to this three-ring circus conducted by Dr. John Philip Nichols and covert operators, and arms dealers, and drug dealers, of every stripe and color coming to meetings over a four-year period on this Reservation. That's what you had. PROMIS was just one of many acts in this three-ring circus. And the players were involved, not just in PROMIS, but in all the rest of it. So, the Hamiltons, and the scenario of them getting ripped off while in a formal contractual relationship with a Government agency, is only one of many stories. And I can pinpoint over a hundred companies that received the same kind of treatment, and were defrauded in the same way as Inslaw. And I've gotten over fifty of them together, and we're all networking, trying to bring this thing out into the light of day. IAN MASTERS: What about the idea that somehow the theft of PROMIS was a reward to Dr. Earl Brian for brokering the Iran hostage deal? MICHAEL RICONOSCIUTO: The ability to run with PROMIS from the inside, on a procurement track, was part of a benefit reward package to the Cabazon position for what they did in helping the Election Committee. Part of that was the artillery shells. Part of that was security contracts for Wackenhut. Wackenhut has security jobs that traditionally the United States Marine Corps did. OK? Now, it's done on open bid to private companies, and Wackenhut consistently has gotten most of those jobs. And all our atomic weapons research and test sites are all guarded by Wackenhut personnel. In the Reagan Administration, the shift went abruptly from Marine Corps and military personnel to Wackenhut personnel. It was an UNPRECEDENTED move. And it's my position that this was part of the reward benefit package for cooperation and services rendered during the election situation. ANDREW PHILLIPS: We think this is one hell of a story. Just let me read briefly from the VILLAGE VOICE of this week [Sept. 18, 1991]: "Unlike the murky October Surprise scandal with the compromised Congressional investigations into Iran/Contra, the facts in the Inslaw case are quite clear. Emerging from a low-level bankruptcy court, they paint a virtually indisputable case of corporate theft." This is James Ridgeway writing in this week's VILLAGE VOICE, "an indisputable case of corporate theft, political corruption, and the very real possibility of international espionage. The issue goes straight to the White House and it involves officials at the highest levels of the Justice Department in what appears to be a deliberate campaign of intimidation, theft and corruption. By now, that ought to have led to a serious Congressional investigation. Unlike Iran/Contra, no one in this case has pleaded national security as a defense, though that is likely before it is over. In a sense, it is already too late for that. The facts are too well defined. If the opinions of two judges are correct, this case ought to result in criminal indictments of past and present Justice officials." (212) 279-3400: That's the number here at WBAI. (to be continued) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is one of countless stories unveiling the deeply corrupted and subverted state of our theoretically democratic Government. This story makes disgustingly obvious the fact that patriotism is not the waving of flags, the tying of yellow ribbons and the supporting of the Government, just because it happens to be ours. You don't support cancer just because you happen to have it. Patriotism is telling the truth to the people of our country in order that they may unite to conquer the anti-democratic cancer that is gradually destroying ours and our children's freedom. So please post the installments of this ongoing series to other bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. That would be a truly patriotic deed. John DiNardo
