From this group of nearly a dozen deep-cover people employed by various U. S. Intelligence Agencies I obtained over a thousand hours of statements and hundreds of classified documents, showing the terrible harm inflicted upon the United States and many foreign countries and their citizens. Supplementing what has been stated in earlier pages, I uncovered still more areas of criminal activities, some of which are described here. Much more information has been given to me, but requires further time to coordinate, confirm, and present in a proper form to the reader. In subsequent printings some of this additional information will be presented.
This same group was the target of the coverup and discrediting tactics of the establishment media in the United States, by members of Congress, and by Justice Department prosecutors. The mysterious deaths, murders, and Judicial and Justice Department persecution of whistleblowers continued, fortuitously protecting high U.S. officials, Judges, Justice Department attorneys.
And there was a company in Redwood City called EIC. They are on Woodside Road in Redwood City, and the guy who runs it is the owner, Chan Wang. He is a member of an organization called the "Eagles". He is a Chinese guy. It is my understanding that he was financing this entire operation. He was in touch with the law firm of Heller, Ehrman, White, and McCauliffe.
Agent X continued, indicating further Mossad involvement in Operation Mount Rushmore:
Things got screwed up, and the whole operation went sour, and everybody went under ground. The Mossad agent I was in touch with, I never heard from her again. I talked to some people at the State Department and everything was hush-hush and quiet. And it all just dropped off the face of the earth. And then two days later I get orders to go overseas, which are the orders I sent you. After Rushmore went sour, we were told to get the hell out. The State Department wrote the orders and I was gone the next day.
Agent X said, "I was told to go there [San Francisco] last summer and meet a Mossad agent, which I did. I asked, "Why San Francisco," and they said Bill Clinton is coming and we need to talk to you. That is the reason for being in the Bay Area, the Rushmore operation." The agent continued:
Everyone who had information pertaining that was not involved militarily, to do away with them. With the military people that were involved, and there were a variety of generals and colonels and so forth, it was handled in a different way. They had training accidents, or they were put so far into retirement that they didn't know what the hell was going on.
And these were the people, there are about seven of them, who are involved in this now. They were actually in the [San Francisco] Bay Area along with myself, and they were going to take care of this operation which involved the Mossad, to take care of Mr. Clinton.
"Why would they want the Mossad in this," I asked.
Agent X answered: "I don't know, and that is one of the things that threw me. Why the Mossad? What do the Israeli have to do with this?" He continued:
Agent X continued: "My contacts go back to the early eighties with Duane Claridge and Charles Allen; they were all aware of what was going on."
In subsequent conversations and letters, the agent enlarged upon these statements, stating that the security guard(581) was an employee of the building's managers where the law firm was situated. I checked and learned that the guard's death in front of a BART train at San Francisco's Mission Street station. In a September 20, 1993 letter, Agent X enlarged upon what he had earlier stated and written to me, relating to Operation Rushmore:
They would be operating out of Republican Headquarters on Van Ness Avenue, where they could monitor all political moves by Clinton. The lady who would oversee this was Joann Stanhope for the Republican Party. She is also CIA.
Money, who would fund this? A man by the name of Chan Wang. He belongs to an organization called The Eagles. He also owns a real estate company called EIC in Redwood City. The man who would be his in-between was also CIA. His name was Bok Pon. Bok and I hit it off. He told me that Yosi worked for a major law firm called Heller Ehrman [Heller, Erman, White, and McCauliffe], and that this firm would handle everything we may need, such as safe-houses, equipment, money, travel, etc. I later found out a major Mossad team was working from the law firm.
Now I have the team assembled. Knowing Clinton was coming to town in the next few weeks, we set up shop. Weapons, escape routs, rendezvous, etc. Clinton was expected to come and stay at the Ritz Carlton. That's when we were going to do it. My men and I took up a position across the street from the Carlton before Clinton's arrival. We photographed the whole area for best possible results. Anyway, three weeks before he was due to arrive, word had it there was a leak. Where, was unknown. So my team and I pulled out in fear of being caught. That night we were told to eliminate all factions involved, including the Mossad agents. This order was given by Bob Larson, [CIA] station chief; San Francisco.(582) The next morning the team and I went to the law firm looking for Yossi. She was not there. She was the first one we were to hit from the firm. We went to her home where we found her.
Three of us: myself John Aldridge, and Phil Burgess, went in and asked what happened. She didn't know. We told her that we were going to kill her if she didn't talk. Well, she didn't talk. Then you can see what happened next. Next target: Bok Pan. We met him at the office of EIC, hoping to get Wang too. Well, Wang wasn't there, but Bok was. We took him and drove north to talk. We went to the Peppermint in Sarrnmonte just south of Daly City. He said he knew nothing. Then we took Bok over into Mill Valley on the other side of the Golden Gate, where he is now buried in a hill.
Next target: Joann Stanhope. Just as we were about to get her, I get a call on my pager from Flashboard. When I called, they said, "stop operations." When I asked the reason why, they said they found the leak. The leak came from a security guard where Heller Erman had their office. One of the Mossad agents was dating this guard. Our job was to, of course, take care of it. So that night when he got off work at midnight, and he went to catch the Bart train at Market to go home, my friend and I grabbed him and threw him in front of a train. "Job well done," said Washington. Two days later I end up in the Mideast.
Rodney, what I have told you could incriminate me, but I will take the chance and you know why. I have told you a lot of things, and believe me, they are true.... I know for a fact that the Mossad is still working out of that law firm, for reasons unknown.
The names of the guys in Operation Ringwind are John Aldridge; Phil Burgess; Bob Burdige; Gregg Note; Robert Lister; Fred White; Rodney Harmon; and myself. The names are all CIA.
I forgot to mention that Gene Ferfethen also sponsored this operation. He owned a winery in Napa. He is one of Wang's friends. Together with their money, that how this thing was going to be pulled off. Consider this a self-confession.
When the operation was threatened with exposure, and before the leak was discovered, Agent X stated that the team sent to carry out the operation against Vice-Presidential candidate Bill Clinton proceeded to eliminate those who knew about it.
REFERRING TO THE LEAK
Referring to the leak that caused Operation Mount Rushmore to be shut down, Agent X said:
FURTHER QUESTIONING
When the operation was threatened with exposure, and before the leak was discovered, Agent X stated that the team sent to carry out the operation against Vice-Presidential candidate Bill Clinton proceeded to eliminate those who knew about it.
"I believe you said earlier that, in isolating the leak, one person was eliminated." Agent X replied: "We eliminated several people. We did three. One was a guy by the name of Bok Pon. Another one was the Israeli agent Yossi. "
"You mean the gal?"
"Yes. And then there was of course the security guard." "Didn't the Mossad feel irritated by that?"
"We never had any repercussions on it. I had a list of people. l had a guy by the name of Chan Wang I had to take care of. I had Stanhope to take care of. I had Yossi to take care of. I had the security guard to take care of. And if worse came to worse, we were going to take care of the whose law firm itself. Almost like a condor situation."
PLAN TO ASSASSINATE CLINTON A MOSSAD OPERATION?
During a conversation on November 17, 1993 with Agent X, I sought to reconfirm what he had earlier stated about the CIA and Mossad operation to eliminate Presidential candidate Bill Clinton. I asked Agent X: "It appears from what you stated earlier that the Mossad was running Operation Mount Rushmore, and that you received your initial instructions and coordination from them. What are your comments to that?"
Agent X replied: They [Mossad and the Heller law firm] were the ones actually running the entire operation. From what I understood, and from what I pieced together, they were the ones actually running the whole operation."
Doesn't that sound a little strange?" I asked.
Agent X replied:
"I'm trying to think of the implications of the Mossad directing Operation Mount Rushmore," I said. "There are implications I don't fully comprehend yet."
"We work together a lot of time. It is a very mutual thing in some areas, but not in all areas. When it comes to hard intel [intelligence], no way. But it is like, you give me something and I will give you something." Agent X continued: "If the operation backfired, the Agency would have someone to blame it on. Then they can do a big sting, and catch all these people, and say, look, now you have another Kennedy-type situation. That is my feeling."
WHO ISSUED THE ORDERS
I asked Agent X who issued the orders for this operation. He reply that "The orders came from ONI. I first went out there in July of last year, 1992."
I said that Gunther Russbacher was familiar with the operation and that it was not totally cancelled, "only put on hold." Agent X replied: "Well, it could have been put on hold; my part in it was pulled out. We had a flop in the operation, and we had to sanction several people in it because we had a leak. So when that was done they just pulled the whole unit out of there."
SIGNIFICANCE OF OPERATION RUSHMORE
If Operation Rushmore was indeed a plan to assassinate presidential candidate Bill Clinton, and involved the CIA and the Mossad, the implications are enormous. It would lend further support to those who argue that JFK's assassination was a CIA operation.
What of Agent X's credibility? CIA documents in my possession establish his intelligence agency connections and officer status. Other CIA contacts confirm Agent X was CIA. He had nothing to gain by giving me the information that he did. Reference to covert CIA operatives who Agent X stated were part of the operation were confirmed as actual CIA operatives by Russbacher and other CIA contacts.
Psychologists recognize the desire by some people to admit past activities or behavior, even though revealing this knowledge may be harmful.
Russbacher confirmed several times to me that Operation Mount Rushmore did exist, and that several people were killed in the operation.
INVOLVEMENT OF FEDERAL JUDICIARY
IN OPERATION MOUNT RUSHMORE
During my many conversations with Agent X the name of U.S. District Judge Marilyn Patel (San Francisco) surfaced. I asked him what role she played in Operation Rushmore. He stated that Patel was in close contact with the parties involved in Operation Mount Rushmore and that he had met her at various social functions in the San Francisco area. [Patel was once on the board of directors of ADL in San Francisco.] Agent X stated:
"We know Marilyn H. Patel," was their reply. That was how I first met her. "Whenever you do something like what we were going to do [Operation Rushmore], you have to cover every angle. It's like a game of chess. You cover every escape, you cover money, technicalities, what if and what not, every possible avenue. So, if something happened, the case would have got in front of Patel.
I only know her from my trade [CIA covert activities] and what I've done. Whenever you plan an operation like we were going to do, you cover every single angle, I don't care what it is. Who is going to finance it, if something happens who is going to back us up, what contacts in the police department. In fact, the former chief of police there, he is now with a security company called the Phoenix program. Phoenix Security is who he is with now. He was involved in the sense, you know, for contacts, you know it's a big organization.
If Agent X is telling the truth, than we had sections of the CIA, the Mossad, a federal judge, and many others, involved in a scheme to assassinate a presidential candidate. It almost appears as if it was the Mossad who was directing the assassination attempt.
Further, we have two of the federal judges that had charged me with criminal contempt of court (for reporting federal crimes) who were identified by my CIA contacts as CIA assets working with agents of a foreign country to assassinate the person who is now our president.
Judge Patel's involvement in a scheme involving the assassination of a presidential candidate who then became president is very much in line with the actions she took to block my reporting of the criminal activities described within these pages. She openly violated numerous criminal statutes as she not only blocked my reporting of these crimes but committed the criminal act of inflicting harm upon me for attempting to make the reports. She caused me to be imprisoned in retaliation for attempting to report federal crimes that I had discovered up to 1990, and her actions were approved by other Ninth Circuit district judges, all of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal judges, and the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court (as previously explained).
On June 16, 1993 Wilcher called Russbacher in prison and argued that Russbacher should have his CIA faction release to Paul the copy of the SR-7 1 video tape that Russbacher stated existed, of the flight from Paris to the United States that was part of the October Surprise operation. Russbacher said to me that his CIA faction delivered the video tape to Wilcher on the evening of either June 17 or June 18, 1993. The possession of that tape, assuming that it exists, would expose parts of the Octopus-like epidemic corruption existing in the federal government, and many people would be threatened.
Other evidence that Wilcher had obtained in May or June 1993, that threatened many members of Congress, were documents sent to him by former BCCI insiders employed in the London office, which listed the members of Congress who had received bribes from the rogue bank.
Wilcher told Garby Leon of Columbia Pictures that he had received these BCCI documents, and also stated to his lady friend, Marion Kindig, that he was investigating the BCCI matter. Former CIA contract agent Michael Riconosciuto said to me that he had given Paul considerable sensitive information about the Justice Department's theft of the Inslaw tapes and other sensitive matters involving the U.S. Intelligence Agencies. Wilcher had played the part of a very concerned citizen, seeking to have Congressman Lee Hamilton of the October Surprise Committee, Congressman Jack Brooks of the BCCI Committee, and other members of Congress, receive his evidence, and encountered a stone wall (i.e., obstruction of justice).
Wilcher had been attending Friday evening news conferences conducted by senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, and had taped the meetings. In early June 1993 Wilcher failed to appear at these meetings, and neither Marion Kindig nor McClendon could contact him. Sarah asked Marion to call me to determine if I heard from him, which I hadn't.
GOVERNMENT OCCUPIED AN ADJACENT APARTMENT
Marion Kindig went to his apartment a couple of days earlier, and getting no answer when she rang the door bell, she rang an adjacent apartment seeking to have the person signal the front door to open. She wanted to leave a package on Wilcher's door knob. That adjacent apartment was directly across the hall from Wilcher's apartment. When Marion rang the door bell, it rang into the telephone system, and a recorded message revealed something interesting: "This is a government number that has been disconnected." ...
