Church of Scientology Tried To Hire Blackops Security Firm As Recently As 1998 - Page 2
Here's the excerpt:
By 1998, BBI had 22 employees working in five different divisions, along with subcontractors that it hired as operatives. The company also looked abroad for new opportunities and recruited more law enforcement and intelligence veterans. David Bresett, a former chief of the Secret Service's foreign intelligence branch, joined the firm as a vice president. (A company biography noted that Bresett, while detailed to the CIA, had directed the investigation that identified the terrorists who blew up Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988.) The firm retained Vincent Cannistraro, a former chief of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, and earlier one of the government officials responsible for overseeing U.S. support of the Nicaraguan contras, as a consultant at $75,000 a year. "I did due diligence on a couple of customers," Cannistraro recalls. On the advice of Cannistraro and Bresett, BBI turned down a $1 million job with the Church of Scientology, according to Dodd. (Bresett did not respond to a message asking for comment.) At one point, an employee named Tim Ward, who had been a sergeant in the Maryland state police, traveled to Saudi Arabia for the company, according to Dodd.
To get the full context of how bad these guys were, read the whole article at MotherJones, it's chockful of goodness on how this firm dug around in the trash of such groups as Greenpeace. Nice to know the do-gooders of the world are perceived as a threat to our what...national security?
Do you think big dollar CoS donors like Nancy Cartright, Tom Cruise, John Travolta and crew know their dollars are being spent on covert operations? More importantly, do they care?
