I received the following from a CN reader who wishes to remain 
anonymous. What I plan to do is post the entire document over a 
period of time, most likely in weekly installments. Here is part 4.

CONSPIRACY: 
THE INVISIBLE SECOND RUNG OF GOVERNMENT 
 
An Investigation and Discussion of that Part of the United       
 States Government Which We Did Not Elect, Which Is Not
  Accountable, Which Is Unconstitutional, Which Is Engaged In
   Unlawful and Unconstitutional Activity, and Then Hides Behind
the National Security Act of 1947
 
 
PART I :
CITATION AND SUMMARY OF SOURCES
 
(continued)
 
 
14.  Woodward, Bob, Veil:  The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987, 
New York, New York, Simon & Schuster, 1988.  Woodward is an award- 
winning investigative journalist.  Summary:  Documents CIA 
involvement in foreign countries, murder, coups, propaganda, 
disinformation, unconstitutionally fixing foreign policy, and all 
the foregoing is covered up to the American people.
 
 
15.  Marchetti, Victor, and Marks, John, The CIA and the Cult of 
Intelligence, New York, New York, Dell Publishing, 1974/1989.  
Marchetti is a former CIA Senior official.  Marks is a former 
State Department Intelligence Expert.  Summary:  Documents CIA 
involvement in foreign countries, murder, coups, propaganda, 
disinformation, assassination, unconstitutionally fixing foreign 
policy, and all the foregoing covered up to the American people.  
"Scandals like the Iran/Contra affair are not the exception but 
the rule."  Criticism is made of the fact that the CIA has a 
multi-billion dollar annual budget in order to defend our 
national security, but is instead jeopardizing it.
 
The majority of the original text of this book was censored by 
the CIA when it was originally published.  Due to the Freedom of 
Information Act, successful  litigation, and the increasing 
pressure from the public, each successive publication of this 
book contains progressively more of the originally censored 
material.  Each successive publication has the new material 
printed in a different font.  By comparing all these different 
fonts, the reader gets a rare glimpse into the CIA's progressive 
misuse of the "top secret" label to hide their illegalities, 
their embarrassing mistakes, their abuses of power, and their 
violations of the constitution.
 
"The cult is intent upon conducting the foreign affairs of the 
U.S. government without the awareness or participation of the 
people.  It recognizes no role for a questioning legislature or 
an investigative press.  Its adherents believe that only they 
have the right and the obligation to decide what is necessary to 
satisfy the national needs. Although it pursues outmoded 
international policies and unattainable ends, the cult of 
intelligence demands that it not be held accountable for its 
actions by the people it professes to serve.  It is a privileged, 
as well as secret, charge.  In their minds, those who belong to 
the cult of intelligence have been ordained, and their service is 
immune from public scrutiny."
 
"The 'clandestine mentality' is a mind-set that thrives on 
secrecy and deception.  It encourages professional amorality - 
the belief that righteous goals can be achieved through the use 
of unprincipled and normally unacceptable means.  Thus, the 
cult's leaders must tenaciously guard their official actions from 
public view.  To do otherwise would restrict their ability to act 
independently; it would permit the American people to pass 
judgment on not only the utility of their policies, but the 
ethics of those policies as well.  With the cooperation of an 
acquiescent, ill-informed Congress, and the encouragement and 
assistance of a series of Presidents, the cult has built a wall 
of laws and executive orders around the CIA and itself, a wall 
that has blocked effective public scrutiny."
 
 
16.  Pizzo, Stephen, Fricker, Mary, and Muolo, Paul, Inside Job, 
New York, New York, McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, 1989.  Pizzo 
is the West Coast correspondent for the National Thrift News.  
Fricker is an editorial writer for The Santa Rosa Press Democrat.  
Muolo is an editor of the National Thrift News.  Summary:  
Despite the fact that the authors began this project as seasoned 
reporters, they "were not prepared for the depth of corruption 
and the pervasiveness of white-collar crime...."  For "every same 
we chronicled we left a hundred out.  For every connection we 
made between key players, organized crime figures and thrifts, we 
had to leave dozens out."
 
"Over a period of seven years, a greedy network of swindlers, 
mobsters, S & L executives, and con men have capitalized on 
regulatory weaknesses created by deregulation and have thoroughly 
fleeced the thrift industry."
 
The "financial hit-and-run fraternity" included a "Mafia 
stockbroker" and a "casino owner and former attorney to Jimmy 
Hoffa....[T]hese financial rogues were given free rein to loot 
America's vaults, few of whom "will have to repay what they took, 
or spend even a day in jail."
 
Prominent politicians were aware well ahead of time that the S & 
Ls were in trouble.  Due to "major campaign contributions from 
crooked thrift owners," a decision was made to allow the damage 
to continue until the multi-billion dollar tab would be so huge 
that only the U.S. taxpayers could afford to pay it.  These 
prominent politicians played an obstructionist role in the S & L 
scandal.  "Amazingly, while the $200 [to $300] billion S & L 
repair bill remains unpaid, Congress marches blindly on toward 
radical bank deregulation.  Only by forcing Washington to face up 
to what has really happened to the thrift industry can an even 
larger catastrophe in the banking industry be averted."
 
An FBI agent told the authors, "'When I looked at the banks that 
closed between 1984 and 1987, in many of them I found people I 
knew, the same S & L crowd I'm investigating from the failed 
thrifts....'  Attorneys at private law firms who worked for both 
the FDIC and the FSLIC told us the same story."  There are 3,200 
S & Ls in the U.S.
 
[Another researcher into the S & L scandal, Dave Emory, says 
there is evidence that indicates the estimates of bail out has 
cost anywhere between $500 billion to $1.4 trillion.  As an 
indicator of just how much money that is, in terms of updated 
dollars, today World War II would cost $240 billion.]
 
 
17.  Weiner, Tim,  Blank Check, New York, New York, Warner Books, 
1991.  Weiner is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter.  
Summary:  Documents his  methodology, analysis, and conclusion 
that four out of every ten IRS dollars is spent on the black 
budget.  Cites one attorney's private efforts at his own personal 
expense to sue on the grounds that this is clearly 
unconstitutional.  Constitutionally, there is supposed to be a 
public accounting from time to time of all receipts accounting 
for how the government spends its money, because this is the only 
way the people will know who and what to vote for or against.  
The Supreme Court refused to hear the case because it might 
endanger national security.
 
 
18.  Livingstone, Harrison Edward, Killing The Truth, New York, 
New York, Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc., 1993.  Livingstone is 
an author and long time researcher in the JFK assassination.  
Summary:  Documents evidence falsified, planted, tampered with, 
and just plain made-up to bolster the cover up.  Documents FBI, 
CIA, Texas oil men, Warren Commission members, Secret Service 
Military Intelligence, Dallas Police, organized crime, Richard 
Nixon, and Lyndon Johnson involvement in the conspiracy to 
assassinate JFK and its subsequent cover up.  FBI and CIA roles 
to this day involve strategically placing their own agents in 
roles posing as independent investigators of the JFK 
assassination to confuse, muddle and sabotage the investigation 
by squandering the investigation's limited resources of precious 
time and money, as well as by doing harm to the reputations of 
all the other legitimate investigators. Documents recent 
involvement of the American Medical Association and The Journal 
of the American Medical Association in the continuing cover up.  
The Journal of the American Medical Association recently 
published fraudulent articles in an attempt to bolster the 
discredited conclusions of the Warren Commission.
