Lars Hansson's 2-part affidavit is very wideranging but has particular emphasis on the October Surprize, the UFO psyop, Bo Gritz, William Cooper, John Lear, Marcos gold smuggling, and the "Dallas Betrayed" Greer-shot-Kennedy tape which he made but disavowed before distribution.
More from Hansson's affidavit on John Lear's background:
QUOTE
One cannot help but be immediately impressed by Lear's beautiful two-story hacienda situated at the northeast edge of Las Vegas and almost adjacent to Nellis Air Force Base. The view from his front yard of the entire valley just before sunset is truly spectacular. Likewise, the visitor to the Lear household is almost equally overwhelmed, upon entering through the medieval-style arched door into a lighted hallway, to emerge in Lear's expansive inner sanctum, which he has appropriately dubbed, "the Shrine." Dark emerald-green carpeting sets the tone for a room whose walls are filled from floor to ceiling with photographic records of what must have been a singularly phenomenal career as a aeronautical soldier of fortune throughout the world.
Among the hundreds of such mementos are pictures of: Lear flying under the Golden Gate Bridge; Lear standing with G. Gordon Liddy, who inscribed the photo "To John, I told 'em fuckin' nothin'"; Lear with his father, his brother, Lear Co. test pilots, his flight crew in Egypt and Teheran, Iran; the CIA's secret base at Long Tien, Laos (a wide-angle panorama); and, of course, Learjets, Constellations and the SR-71 Blackbird. To complete the overall effect, the Shrine includes a large fireplace, his electric piano (which he plays masterfully), an impressive audio system, an extensive library of aeronautical, espionage/intelligence, and UFO-related books, and ammo boxes and belts which are seemingly carelessly strewn in the corner while his match-grade stainless-steel .45 automatic hangs in a holster from the audio rack behind his desk. All in all, it is truly an impressive -- albeit carefully contrived -- atmosphere that confronts even the most jaded visitor.
And an intriguing section here alleging an additional realpolitick rationale for the October Surprize (in its widest guns-to-Iran sense) - namely, to prevent the Iranians leaking the "secrets" contained in CIA station chief William Buckley's videotaped confession:
QUOTE
I'm surprised Cooper hasn't fingered H. Ross Perot, himself, along with Gritz and me, since he also lobbied intensively to keep Armitage out of that position, after confronting him two years before in person at the Pentagon and demanding that he resign on the spot for his involvement in large-scale heroin trafficking -- you can read about it in the May 4, 1987 issue of TIME. It must be noted also, whether Cooper is aware of it or not, that Perot put up the $2 million to try to buy William Buckley's way out of Beirut back in 1984. Buckley was the well-known CIA station chief stationed there who was also in charge of the Agency's worldwide assassination bureau. It has been known and reported for some time that it was the Iranians' threat to release to the American people the 14 hours of videotape of his confessions under torture which prompted Oliver North and Bud McFarlane to jet over to Teheran with the Bible, the cake and the missiles. In fact, I have just received information from a very reliable source who was the Shah's pilot at one time (after flying Mohammed Mossadegh, the elected leader of Iran deposed by the CIA with the help of the original Norman Schwarzkopf, out of the country), that William Buckley also revealed under torture those responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
As unlikely as this might seem on first hearing, it must be borne in mind that Buckley had, in fact, been the station chief in Mexico City during the period that a special assassination bureau was being run under the cover of PEMEX Oil Co. Rafael "Chi Chi" Quintero was one of the original members of the "shooter team" set up at the request of Richard Nixon by Robert Maheu and Mafia capos Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli in 1960 to eliminate Castro and continued as part of the ongoing hit squad in Mexico working under Buckley. According to the Torbitt Document (Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal) the FBI's Division Five (Domestic Counterintelligence) maintained a triangular-fire training base at Oaxaca, Mexico, under the cover of a missionary school. It has now been established that it was his references to this fact which had to be erased from Nixon's Watergate tapes. Dan Sheehan of the Christic Institute, among others, has been very emphatic on numerous occasions about Buckley's actual role in Beirut at the time of his capture, and the true reasons for the weapons deals which ensued.
whew!....from air on the moon we are not going into scandals and black-ops from JFK assassination, Pheonix Project, SEA drug smuggling, Secret Gold stored in the Phillipines, October Surprise, Iran-Conta, and more....enough for several threads. One quote in the piece did strike me, "John Judge has referred to UFOs as "Unrecognized Fascist Observatories" John Judge is a researcher I trust deeply and his take on UFOs comes close to my inifomation.....basicly that they are not extra-terrestial, but stealth spy craft, hidden under the rubric of extraterrestial when they crash or are noticed. I believe few have been used, and were mostly in the past. Most sightings can be explained by other natural phenomenon or craft misidentified.
The confounding/conflating of UFOs with real and unrelated covert operations, IMO, gives away a lot. But then there are strange things out there. For sure, the USG has tried hard to conceal what they knew about UFOs and also create with it an air of mystery denied.
There are many ways to divert the public from the real issues and the seeing the magician's hands: tabloids and gossip news; murders of and by celebrities and other circus about their lives by the largely intelligence-permeated media; minor and faux scandals to hide the big ones; and the usual lies, deceptions, false statements and documents on things; false-flag operations and wars; sporting events; super-patriotism; the circus that is most TV and other media; sex and violence in films and TV to desensitize and scare; organized religions; UFOs; over-consumerism; fear of the outside other i.e. terrorism; and many other things.
