AFA-26 [recorded 01/27/87] | The CIA, the Military & Drugs Part III - The Great Heroin Coup
This program focuses on the cooperative role of elements of the intelligence community and the U.S. narcotics enforcement apparatus in regulating, not interdicting, the illegal trade in narcotics. The title refers to Danish journalist Henrik Kruger’s appellation for an apparent gambit, through which the Nixon administration, elements of the CIA and elements of U.S. law enforcement diminished the role of Corsican gangsters in the international heroin trade. This stratagem strengthened the role of American gangsters in the heroin traffic. Those gangsters were, not coincidentally, connected to both the Nixon administration and the CIA.
Much of the story revolves around Christian David, a Corsican gangster employed by various intelligence services, including the CIA. David was ultimately brought to heel by the U.S., as part of the interdiction operation against the Corsicans. Kruger argues that an apparent “crackdown” by the Nixon administration on the heroin trade was, in fact, a covert operation. In addition to reducing the role of the Corsicans in the heroin trade, the Nixon administration’s crackdown appears to have served as a front for supporting death squad activity in Latin America. The program highlights the role of intelligence elements whose names later became well-known in the Iran-Contra affair.
Another major element of discussion is an arms-and-drug smuggling operation entitled “The Company.” The name is (perhaps coincidentally) a CIA-insiders’ nickname for the Agency. (The criminal enterprise of the same name, discussed in this broadcast, may very well have been connected with an element of the agency.)
Program Highlights Include: Christian David’s involvement with the Latin American drug network of the Corsican gangster and Nazi collaborator Auguste Ricord; Veteran CIA operative Lucien Conein’s employment as head of the Nixon administration’s assassination apparatus (ostensibly to be employed against drug traffickers); the apparent employment of the Conein operation as a para-fascist terror apparatus in Latin America; the apparent role of the Conein apparatus as a vehicle for eliminating traffickers competing with Nixon organized crime allies; CIA officer Theodore Shackley’s operations (apparently) conducted in conjunction with the drug trade (Shackley’s name became well known during the Iran-Contra affair); CIA officer Thomas Clines’ involvement in operations with Shackley (Clines’ name also figured in the Iran-Contra revelations); the operational backgrounds of Shackley, Clines and Conein in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War; hit-man Charles Harrelson’s charge that elements of the DEA had Judge John Wood killed (Harrelson was convicted of killing Wood); Harrelson’s claim of first-hand knowledge of the assassination of President Kennedy; Harrelson’s operations on behalf of “The Company;” connections between “The Company” and organized-crime figures from the JFK assassination milieu; “The Company” and the smuggling of weaponry from the top-secret China Lake Naval Weapons Station; “The Company’s” trafficking of the China Lake weaponry to Libya (Shackley and Clines were involved with “ex” CIA operative Ed Wilson’s operations on behalf of Khadafy.)
