[…] close friend (and office manager) Michael Salt from all positions within the NF, proposed by Andrew Brons as Chair and seconded by Anderson as Deputy Chair. This coup de grace took only ten minutes, and (almost uniquely) reduced Webster to speechlessness. The event was a shock from which Webster never really recovered, and, despite […]
[…] WACL supporter, ex-DDCIA, Ray Cline accompanied Manila CIA station chief and the CIA’s General Sweitzer on a visit to messers Enrile and Ramos, just before the abortive coup against Mrs Aquino’s government. One need not jump to conclusions: the Americans may have been trying to call the coup off. Either way, the presence of […]
[…] been ‘naive’ in reassuring President Sukarno of Indonesia in 1963 that Guy Pauker, formerly of RAND, was not CIA. (Two years later Pauker was involved in the coup which overthrew Sukarno.

[…] liberal. The CIA and its allies in the mass media toppled Nixon only to lose the estimates war in the long run anyway. Watergate wasn’t really a coup d’etat as some, notably Coulson, have suggested. Hougan’s point that the CIA could hardly have predicted the fall of Nixon has to be considered, but there […]
