Ultimate Evil 

Maury Terry’s book The Ultimate Evil revealed Roy Cohn’s connection to a Satanic pedophile rings during his investigation of the Son of Sam killings. David Berkowitz, known also as the Son of Sam and the .44 Caliber Killer, is an American serial killer who was convicted of eight separate shooting attacks that began in New York City during the summer of 1976. He confessed to all of them, and claimed to have been obeying the orders of a demon, manifested in the form of a dog “Harvey” who belonged to his neighbor “Sam.” At the time of Berkowitz’s arrest, the official line of the New York Police Department was that Son of Sam had acted alone in the murders. In his subsequent investigation, Maury Terry discovered that these “Son of Sam” killings were, in fact, satanic ritual killings.

Terry gathered compelling evidence that the cult behind these crimes was the satanic group known as the Process Church of the Final Judgment which he also implicated in the Charles Manson murders. Terry portrayed The Process as being the major player behind a vast Satanic underground network that dealt in pornography, drugs, and ritual murder. The Process Church was developed by its British founders as a splinter client cult group from Scientology.[1] According to Berkowitz, the Process provided children for sex at parties held by wealthy people in Westchester, Manhattan, Connecticut, and Long Island. Berkowitz informed Terry that one of these parties were held at Cohn’s house in Connecticut. Additionally, two further witnesses maintained that occasionally present at these parties were a Yonkers judge, at least two Westchester County politicians, a high-ranking New York state politician, a celebrated but later-murdered physician, a Nobel Prize-winning doctor, and two aides to then-mayor of New York City Abraham Beame.[2]

Roy Radin

Michael Zuckerman, a former reporter, received information from Vinny, a prison informant, who claimed to have spent time in jail with Berkowitz and to have information about his connections to a satanic cult. Vinny alleged that Son of Sam’s sixth murder victim, 20-year-old Stacy Moskowitz, was not as a random killing, was part of a snuff film filmed by a man named Ron Sisman, who was tied to the satanic cult. Sisman was later murdered on Halloween in a shooting that went unsolved. Vinny added that was involved with a mysterious character, known only as RR, who lived in a mansion on Long Island, and served as the leader of the satanic cult Berkowitz belonged to. Both Zuckerman and Terry were able to connect RR with Roy Radin, who became notorious for drug-fueled sex orgies he threw at Ocean Castle, his massive mansion in the Hamptons. In fact, actress Melonie Haller, who had been introduced to Radin by Sisman, made an accusation that she was brutally raped and beaten at Radin’s mansion in 1980 when she refused to participate in an orgy. Haller had been introduced to Radin by Sisman. Radin was charged with criminal possession of cocaine and LSD, illegal possession of a handgun, and criminal menace. Robert McKeage IV, Haller’s date to the party, was also charged and pled guilty. Haller also added that the assault had been videotaped.[3]

One of Radin’s major contacts in Hollywood at the time was film producer Robert Evans, who was introduced to Radin by one-time drug dealer Karen Greenberger (aka Lanie Jacobs).[4] A close friend of Henry Kissinger, Evans was a film producer and former studio executive, best known for his work on Rosemary’s Baby, Love Story, The Godfather and Chinatown, before he was later convicted of trafficking cocaine. Rosemary’s Baby was directed by Roman Polanski, whose wife Sharon Tate and unborn child were brutally murdered by the Manson Family. Sharon’s first big film was in 1965 in Eye of the Devil, a movie about human sacrifice. English magician Alex Saunders, known as “King of the Witches”, who was hired as technical adviser, later claimed to have initiated Tate into witchcraft. Polanski also produced home sex videos he shared with friends. Polanski also filmed sadomasochistic orgies at their house and showed the movies at parties.[5] Polanski was convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor in 1977.

With Evans’ help, Radin was trying to break into the film industry by helping to finance Francis Ford Coppola’s 1984 movie about the legendary Harlem nightclub, the Cotton Club, but was subsequently the victim of a murder-for-hire at age 33. Greenberger was convicted of second-degree murder and kidnapping at the trial which became known as “The Cotton Club Murder.” Two witnesses told police that Evans was involved in the murder. However, when asked under oath if he knew Radin, Evans invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.[6] Finally, Greenberger testified that Evans had not been involved in the crime.[7] When Terry investigated the crime scene, he discovered a Bible nearby, which he believe confirmed his suspicions that Radin was killed in connection to his role in the cult. The Bible was deliberately folded open to highlight a passage from Isaiah 22: “toss thee like a ball into a country and there thou shalt die… And behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.”[8]

Leonard G.H. Huxley (1902 – 1988)

Leonard G.H. Huxley (1902 – 1988)

Roy Cohn was also close personal friends with Australian media mogul and Knight of Malta Rupert Murdoch, whose friend Kerry Packer was also named by Project Monarch survivor Fiona Barnett as part of a VIP pedophile ring of Satanic ritual abuse and international child trafficking involving MK-Ultra doctors. [9] According to researcher Steve McMurray, who has pursued Barnett’s claims, MK-Ultra was brought to Australia in 1960 by the Huxley family. Aldoush and Julian Huxley’s relative, Leonard G.H. Huxley, was the vice-chancellor of Australian National University (ANU) in the 1960s. In 1923, Leonard studied at New College, Oxford, where he met Julian Huxley, then a fellow of the college and a reader in biology, with whom he formed a firm and lasting friendship. In 1956, Leonard was elected to the Council of the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and he became Vice-President the following year. AAS works in parallel with the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia (ASSA). At the time, the headquarters of ASSA were located on the grounds of the ANU in Canberra, which Leonard was the Chairman of. ASSA was also influenced by the Carnegie Corporation and the pro-eugenics UNESCO which Julian Huxley founded. The ASSA council met with the heads of UNESCO Australia in 1956 and worked together to decide the direction of their eugenics agenda for Australia.[10]

In 1965, Leonard Huxley was the head of the Australian Fulbright Scholarship program at United States Educational Foundation in Australia (USEFA), which transferred MKULTRA doctors between Australia and the USA. In that year, Huxley accepted an application for a Scholarship from Dr. John D. McCaffrey from Stanford University. One of McCaffrey’s references was Gregory Bateson. Huxley would have also overseen the Fulbright Lectureship being granted to Martin Orne, an MK-Ultra doctor affiliated with the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, to visit to Sydney University. Huxley was appointed to the board for the 1960 period and was also on the board of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) with Richard Casey as the Executive. Casey helped to establish Australian Security Intelligence Service (ASIO), under the aegis of the British Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6.[11] He also helped to secure funding for USEFA in 1959.[12]

MK-Ultra doctor Martin Orne, of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation

In April of 1960, four months before Orne was in Sydney, G.H. Estabrooks, the father of the “Manchurian Candidate,” invited Orne to speak at a symposium at Colgate College. Estabrooks had maintained correspondence with Bill Donovan, H. Edgar Hoover, and Aldous and Julian Huxley.[13] Estabrooks, a Harvard University graduate, Rhodes Scholar and chairman of psychology at Colgate University, Canada, is the only mind control doctor who has publicly acknowledged conducting extensive hypnosis work on behalf of the CIA, FBI and military intelligence. Estabrooks was once quoted as saying, “The key to creating an effective spy or assassin rests in splitting a man’s personality, or creating multipersonality, with the aid of hypnotism… This is not science fiction… I have done it.”[14]

The paper presented by Orne at the symposium was later titled “Antisocial Behavior and Hypnosis.” Orne’s research at the University of Sydney was financed by the Human Ecology Fund and the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research, specifically under a project titled, “Attitude Formation, Decision Matrices.”[15] Orne was given permission to perform the experiment in the facilities belonging to the Faculty of Psychology by Alfred Gordon Hammer, the head of the department, who was also the Chairman of the Australian Branch of the British Psychological Society in 1960, later the Australian Psychological Society). Hammer would spend two sabbaticals in Orne’s laboratories in the United States during the 1960’s and 1970’s.[16]

John Phillip Sutcliffe

John Phillip Sutcliffe

Another key MKULTRA Australia doctor, John Phillip Sutcliffe, who also received ASSA sponsorship for his studies.[17] As Dr. Peter W. Sheehan explained, Sutcliffe was the driving force behind MK-Ultra hypnosis research, having come to Australia at the University of Sydney through his connections with Martin Orne.[18] Prior to that, Sutcliffe was in contact with Dr. Hans J. Eysenck, the racist psychologist involved with Alain de Benoist’s GRECE, the chief organization of the French Nouvelle Droite. In the 1960s, Eysenck was Director of MK-Ultra Subproject 111. The chief of the CIA’s Chemical Branch, responsible for psychology research as well as drugs and poisons, noted that, “Eysenck is one of the most skillful and productive psychologists on the international scene today and a grant to him would add prestige of the (Human Ecology Society). “This project will also be in accordance with the plan of developing (the Society) as a worldwide organization.”[19]

Eysenck operated out of the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP) at Maudsley Hospital in London, the staging ground for MK-Ultra in Europe and Africa, perhaps Australia as well. The IoP was originally a competitor to the notorious Tavistock clinic until it came under Tavistock control when Dr. John Rawlings Rees and Eric Trist, started operating out of there.[20] The Maudsley maintained its links with Germany, taking on both pro-Nazis and Jewish emigres through fellowships provided by the Commonwealth Fund and, after 1935, large scale funds from the American Rockefeller Foundation.

Eliot Slater MD (1904 – 1983)

Eliot Slater MD (1904 – 1983)

Eliot Slater was appointed medical officer Maudsley in 1931. Slater was the Vice-Chair of the British Eugenics Society and had a long history of working closely with MK-Ultra doctor William Sargant who worked with Ewen Cameron.[21] In 1934, Slater was awarded a Rockefeller Foundation travelling fellowship, which he used to study psychiatric genetics under Bruno Schulz at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Munich.[22] Slater continued to visit Munich through the 1930s and contributed to academic festivities honoring Nazi eugenicist Ernst Rudin.[23] Julian Huxley later promoted Slater’s work at the Maudsley.[24] In 1936, Julian Huxley’s friend Julian Treveleyan, took part in a mescaline study at Maudsley.[25]

William Sargant (1907 – 1988)

William Sargant (1907 – 1988)

In the interwar period, the Maudsley engaged in widespread experimentation with animal hormones, overdoses as a shock therapy and numerous psychoactive drugs, in what has been described as “unconstrained experimentation.” One of those involved, as a trainee and then junior doctor, was the controversial William Sargant of the Tavistock Institute, and author of The Battle for the Mind edited by Robert Graves, a friend of Gordon Wasson and Idries Shah.[26] In 2009, BBC Radio 4 broadcast a program by James Maw entitled Revealing the Mind Bender General, about Sargant’s Sleep Room treatments at St. Thomas’ Hospital. Among the interviewees were his one-time registrar David Owen, and a number of patients from St Thomas’ as well as a survivor of human experimentation at the Porton Down—the site of one of the UK's most secretive and controversial military research facilities—who testified that their lives had been shattered by Sargant’s treatments.

While Eysenck had influence over Sutcliffe, Wendy A.F. Thorn was a student in Sutcliffe’s department studying hypnosis and multiple personality disorder with MKULTRA Sub-project 84 Doctor, Frederick J. Evans. In 1961, Thorn received a post-graduate research scholarship at ANU for studies on the placebo effect, after completing her thesis in 1960 at Sydney University, on posthypnotic amnesia. In the same year, she presents a paper at the Australian Branch of the British Psychological society on “Hypnosis and Suggestibility.” In 1963-64, Thorn was involved in hypnosis research with MKULTRA Subproject 84 Doctor, Frederick J. Evans, while receiving assistance from the Studies in Hypnosis Project, directed by Orne with CIA funding.[27] Evans received a Fulbright Scholarship to work with Martin Orne at Harvard in 1963, and Thorn would later continue work with Evans and Eysenck. She would also engage in research financed by the Australian Branch of the British Psychological Society with assistance from Eysenck at ANU, before travelling over to Maudsley to begin research with Eysenck himself.[28]

 

Chelmsford Private Hospital

Barnett claims that a network, composed of famous actors, celebrities, judges, politicians and other high-flyers, has infiltrated all the key organizations and institutions in Australia, just as in the US and Britain. She asserts that Australia harboured a large number of Nazi war criminals, including her own step-grandparents. She also recalls being at Bohemian Grove. Among those who Barnett claims sexually assaulted, raped and tortured her, were former Australian Prime Ministers Gough Whitlam, Bob Hawke and Paul Keating, as well as Richard Nixon, Billy Graham and Ted Turner.[29] Barnett claims she was used as a human guinea pig, subjected to child rape, electrocution and torture at locations including Pine Gap, Holsworthy Army Base and Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, as part of the JASON Project by MK-Ultra doctors John Gittinger and Dr. Antony Kidman, the father of actress Nicole Kidman, with the full knowledge and approval of the Australian Government.[30]

Dr. Harry Bailey (1922 – 1985)

Dr. Harry Bailey (1922 – 1985)

Fiona Barnett’s first mind control perpetrator, Nazi Doctor, Leonas Petrauskas, had connections to Dr. Harry Bailey. Petrauskas lived in Engadine, NSW and operated the local medical center at the time of Fiona’s abuse. Fiona Barnett was told by a fellow abuse survivor of Dr. Petrauskas that he referred her for deep sleep treatment with Harry Bailey at the notorious Chelmsford private hospital, which has reported links to Dr. Ewan Cameron’s experiments in Canada.[31] Dr Eric Cunningham Dax, the leading figure of Australian psychiatry, described Bailey’s strange charisma: “Harry Bailey, if he had gone into some obscure and religious sect in America, if you like, could have had a following. What with his figure and his brilliance and so on, he could have had a great following.”[32] In reference to his Tulane University psychosurgery experiments with contractor to MK-Ultra Subproject 68, Dr. Robert Heath, Bailey remarked, “It was cheaper to use Niggers than cats, because they were everywhere, and they were cheap experimental animals.”[33] Bailey, like most Australian doctors connected to MK-Ultra, graduated from the University of Sydney, and in 1954 he received a World Health Organization fellowship to study the methods of Ewen Cameron and William Sargant.

After Bailey returning from overseas, Bailey kept in contact with Sargant, and would head the newly created Cerebral Surgery and Research Unit at Callan Park Psychiatric Hospital. After his appointment, the Sydney Sunday tabloid declared in September 1957, “Human guinea pigs in test: A Sydney mental specialist and 15 other volunteers deliberately sent themselves temporarily insane in recent mental research tests.” Bailey and his colleagues had taken mescaline and LSD, all in the name of raising hope for “mental cases,” with which they hoped to trace the section of the brain which is affected by schizophrenia.[34]

In 1963, Bailey also founded the Chelmsford Private Hospital, which used hypnotic drugs, ECT and DST, mostly experimentally and without informed consent. All doctors at Chelmsford, including Bailey, had previously been involved with work at the Crown Street Hospital for Women in Sydney. There they were involved in a eugenics program of forced adoption away from “unfit” mothers, where Bailey had helped to introduce methods of using hypnotic drugs to make them comply. He directly ordered the abortion of twin fetuses without a woman’s consent while she was under the influence of these drugs. 64% of unwed mothers had their babies taken at Crown Street.[35] At Chelmsford that he would seduce vulnerable patients, as young as 18, then encourage the patients into signing their wills over to him. This was the case with Sharon Hamilton, a Chelmsford victim, whose $100,000 estate went straight to Bailey after her suicide.[36] Bailey ultimately ended the lives of at least 28 patients at Chelmsford with his ECT, DST and drug experiments. He eventually committed suicide by overdosing on barbiturates in 1985, while under investigation.[37]

Barnett tells how Petrauskas was instrumental in introducing her to Antony Kidman, who attended Sydney University at the same time as Petrauskas.[38] Kidman, was also studying psychology at Sydney during Orne’s experiment and lectureship.[39] He would go on to study at the University of Pennsylvania, but instead with Dr. Aaron Tim Beck, the father of Clinical Psychology and an advisory board member of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. It was there Kidman became a longtime colleague of Dr. Martin Seligman, a man whose career research has been made the core of the CIA’s torture program.[40] Kidman returned to Australia in 1972 after years of work at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Washington D.C., in the Laboratory of Preclinical Pharmacology, which was involved with LSD research and served as a hub of the Scottish Rite Schizophrenia Research Program. Both Prof. Jacqueline Goodnow, who specialized in Personality Research and Child Psychology, and John Gittinger had also performed research at the hospital. A year later, Sidney Gottleib fled to Australia and disappeared without a trace. Jacqueline was married to Dr. Robert E. Goodnow, a CIA psychologist who founded Psychological Assessments Associates (PAA) with Gittinger. As President of PAA, Goodnow made huge contributions to the hidden research of Gittinger’s “Personality Assessment System.”[41]

In Batman Forever (1995), produced by Tim Burton and directed by Joel Schumacher, Nicole Kidman plaid Dr. Chase Meridian, a psychologist specializing in multiple personality disorders and recovering repressed memories. She diagnoses Two Face (Tommy Lee Jones) and Riddles (Jim Carrey” as suffering from the condition, and suggests to Bruce Wayne that he may be suffering the same, a symptom that she herself seems to suffer as she becomes attracted to Batman and Wayne in different ways. When Meridian and Batman meet, they discuss the option of reasoning with Two Face to release innocent hostages, but Meridian concludes that it’s futile, as “he will slaughter them without thinking twice.” Batman begins to explain that a “trauma strong enough to create an alternative personality leaves the victim…,” and Meridian interrupts to finish by saying “…in a world where normal rules of right and wrong no longer apply.”

Liz Mullinar, casting director in the Australian film industry, who is credited with Nicole’s international success, is the founder of Heal for Life, Australia’s leading Satanic Ritual Abuse clinic. Mullinar claims to have been a victim of a pedophile ring and alleges her father, the Reverend Stephan Hopkinson, a notable and highly respected figure in the UK, was responsible. Mullinar left film and television industry to form the Australian Association for Recovered Memories in 1995. In 1997, she co-founded the Mayumarri Healing Centre (now Heal For Life Foundation) with husband Rodney Phillips to provide a safe location where survivors of child abuse could recover from their ordeal. In 1999, Nicole Kidman starred in Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut,” with Scientologist Tom Cruise, which depicts an elite sex-cult that engages in Satanic rituals.

Barnett claims that she and satanic ritual abuse (SRA) survivor David Shurter were trafficked to Bohemian Grove as children. In Rabbit Hole: A Satanic Ritual Abuse Survivor's Story, Shurter claims that his parents were part of a Devil-worshipping network associated with some of Omaha’s elite involved in the Franklin scandal. In particular, Shurter ranks former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as “one of the top three worst” pedophiles who abused him throughout his youth.[42] In particular, Shurter ranks former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as “one of the top three worst” pedophiles who abused him throughout his youth.[43]

In fact, Shurter claims that Scalia was murdered at Cibolo Creek Ranch in West Texas by a thirteen year-old boy who slit his throat when he had tried to molest him.[44] The International Order of St. Hubertus gained media attention in February 2016, when Scalia died while staying at Cibolo Creek Ranch, which was owned by members of the order. The order was founded in 1695 by Count Franz Anton von Sporck, who brought together noble hunters from Austria, Bohemia, and other countries throughout the Habsburg Empire. In 1726, Sporck also established a Masonic lodge in Prague.[45] As reported in the Washington Post, the order’s U.S. chapter launched in 1966 at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco, which was responsible for establishing Bohemian Grove.[46] The group’s Grand Master is “His Imperial Highness Istvan von Habsburg-Lothringen, Archduke of Austria.

Cibolo Creek Ranch owner John Poindexter and C. Allen Foster, a prominent Washington lawyer who traveled to the ranch with Scalia by private plane, hold leadership positions within the Order of Hubertus. It has been used in modern times for hunting and a shooting location for the movie industry. Giant was shot there in 1956. It was used as a location for The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada in 2005, followed by There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men in 2007. The wedding of country music singer Charlie Robison and Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks was held at the ranch in 1999. Other notable guests have included Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger, Tommy Lee Jones, Randy Quaid, Julia Roberts, and Bruce Willis.[47]

When a Texas justice of the peace certified that Scallia had died from natural causes, according to the New York Times, questions immediately erupted. No autopsy had been performed, and the certification had been made without even an examination of the body. Texas officials said they had obeyed the wishes of the Scalia family.[48] “We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled,” reported John Poindexter, the owner of the Cibolo Creek Ranch.[49]

“I wish it was natural causes,” Alex Jones said of Scalia’s death in February 2016. “But my gut tells me no. If this is an assassination, it signifies that they’re dropping the hammer. That’s the canary in the coal mine.”[50] Jones suggested Clarence Thomas could die of a “heart attack next week,” because Obama is on a crusade to fortify the New World Order. Jones also said that Scalia had told Matt Drudge that government officials are leading a charge to come after journalists like themselves. “Maybe they’ll kill Ron Paul. Maybe they’ll kill Donald Trump next,” Jones observed.[51] “It’s a horrible topic, but they say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow. I can’t give you an answer,” Trump said in an interview on The Savage Nation, hosted by Michael Savage, a former friend of Allen Ginsberg, but now a conservative commentator.

Kerry Packer

Kerry Packer

SRA survivor Fiona Barnett named media tycoon Kerry Packer—a close friend of Rupert Murdoch and a business associate of Lord Jacob Rothschild—as part of a VIP pedophile ring of Satanic ritual abuse and international child trafficking. The Packer family’s company owned a controlling interest in both the Nine television network and leading Australian publishing company Australian Consolidated Press, which were later merged to form Publishing and Broadcasting Limited (PBL).

On 4 January 1973, when Nixon and Kissinger grew increasingly concerned about Whitlam’s criticism of American foreign policy, a representative of Sir Frank Packer, the father of Kerry, and then managing director and major shareholder of Australian Consolidated Press, sent a memo to Nixon “to express to you (Nixon) his (Packer’s) personal support and that of his magazines and his television network.”[52] In 1989, Kerry Packer took over Australia’s biggest engineering group, Australian National Industries, and teamed up with Sir James Goldsmith and Lord Rothschild to buy into Rank Hovis McDougall in Britain.[53]

Murdoch’s longtime business partner Peter Abeles has been accused of being an associate of Abe Saffron, one of the major figures in Australian organized crime in the latter half of the twentieth century, and of being involved in drug trafficking with the CIA’s Nugan Hand Bank. [54] According to Alfred W. McCoy, author of The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity In The Drug Trade, Safron and New South Wales government led by Sir Robert Askin regularly had dinner together at the Bourbon and Beefsteak Bar and Restaurant, owned by American expatriate Bernie Houghton, one of the founding partner of Nugan Hand.[55] Nugan Hand’s contact was the CIA’s Ted Shackley, who dealt directly with Hand and Houghton. In 1979, the Iran-Contra affair’s Richard Secord had introduced Houghton to Shackley’s associate Thomas G. Clines, leading to a deal with Shackley’s support of to sell Philippine jeeps to Egypt. Shortly after Frank Nugan’s death in January 1980, Clines and Rafael Quintero went through a bag of Houghton’s documents which he had left at Edwin Wilson’s Geneva office aiming to keep Secord's name out of the investigation.[56] Allan Parks, a former air force colonel, adds that Houghton was also connected to General John K. Singlaub.[57]

John Kerr

Houghton was connected in some way to a John D. Walker, who was the CIA Station Chief in Australia during the government of Gough Whitlam, a Labor Party leader who was elected Prime Minister in 1972. When Whitlam’s government proposed a number of progressive policies, and withdrawing troops from Vietnam, support for Palestinian right, and threatened to shutdown of Pine Gap, Shackley determined that Whitlam was a security risk. On October 1974, Ray Cline, Deputy Director of Intelligence, began to implement Director of Central Intelligence William Colby’s plan to oust Whitlam. A slush fund was set up to pass funds through the Nugan Hand Bank to pass funds to both opposition parties. In addition to the slush fund, the CIA created a series of forged documents implicating high-ranking members of the Labour Party in a succession of scandals, which was publicized by Murdoch’s media empire. In 1981, CIA contract agent Joseph Flynn, admitted that he had forged the documents at the behest of Michael Hand.[58]

As the contrived scandals escalated, a state of emergency was declared. On 11 November 1975, the day Whitlam was to inform parliament about the secret CIA presence in Australia, he was summoned by the governor-general of Australia, Sir John Kerr, whom the CIA referred as “our man Kerr.” Invoking “reserve powers,” Kerr dismissed Whitlam, at the climax of the Australian constitutional crisis. Whitlam remains the only Australian prime minister to have his commission terminated in that manner.[59]

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation offered vigorous support for Whitlam’s overthrow. In November 1974, Kerr met with Murdoch at Cavan, his farm near Canberra. Kerr explained to Murdoch the problems Whitlam might have with Supply if his hold on the Senate weakened and Kerr shared the details of his reserve power.[60] A 1975 diplomatic report from the US consul-general in Melbourne, Robert Brand, reported to the state department that “Rupert Murdoch has issued [a] confidential instruction to editors of newspapers he controls to ‘Kill Whitlam’.”[61]

Murdoch has a long history of lending the weight of his media empire to the service of propaganda for CIA covert operations, beginning with the silent coup against the government of Cough Whitlam in 1975. Murdoch was connected the activities of the Secret Team, particularly through its connections to the CIA’s Nugan Hand and the US Navy’s super-secret Task Force 157, which was organized by Henry Kissinger.[62] Although some records relating to Murdoch remain classified, several documents that have been released indicate that he and billionaire Scaife were considered sources of financial and other support for President Ronald Reagan’s hard-line Central American policies, including the CIA’s covert war in Nicaragua.[63]

Cohn teamed up with his law partner Tom Bolan, a CNP member and Knight of Malta, was New York co-chairman for finance of Reagan’s presidential campaigns. Bolan was a partner with Cohn in Saxe, Bacon and Bolan, headed the leading Conservative Party club in Manhattan, and was a top advisor to Senator Alfonse D’Amato, a Republican who ran with Conservative support. Reagan appointed Bolan, who had extensive ties to the Vatican, to greet Pope John Paul II when he stopped off in Alaska after visiting the Philippines in 1981.[64] In the early 1980s, Cohn and Bolan’s firm represented Michele Sindona, the mafia and P2-connected head of the Vatican Bank.

Cohn first introduced Murdoch to President Ronald Reagan in 1983. “I had one interest when Tom [Bolan] and I first brought Rupert Murdoch and Governor Reagan together – and that was that at least one major publisher in this country… would become and remain pro-Reagan,” Cohn wrote in a Jan. 27, 1983, letter to senior White House aides. The letter noted that Murdoch then owned the “New York Post – over one million, third largest and largest afternoon; New York Magazine; Village Voice; San Antonio Express; Houston Ring papers; and now the Boston Herald; and internationally influential London Times, etc.” Cohn sent the letter nine days after Murdoch met Reagan in the Oval Office along with Cohn, his legal partner Thomas Bolan, and U.S. Information Agency Director Charles Wick. According to Cohn, “Mr. Murdoch has performed to the limit up through and including today.” Michael McManus, the Deputy Assistant to the President, responded to Cohn to share their “high regard” for Murdoch” and the appreciation they had for the “importance of what he is doing.”[65]

As the Reagan administration struggled to manage public perceptions, CIA Director William Casey spearheaded a communications and private funding plan to sell Reagan’s Central American policies, and dispatched one of the CIA’s top covert action specialists, Walter Raymond Jr., to the National Security Council to oversee the project. Casey convened a meeting of Reagan administration officials and five leading ad executives to brainstorm ideas. The results from the discussions were summed up in an Aug. 9, 1983, memo written by Raymond to Charles Wick, which noted that “via Murdock [sic] may be able to draw down added funds” to support pro-Reagan initiatives. In line with the clandestine nature of the operation, Raymond also suggested routing the “funding via Freedom House or some other structure that has credibility in the political center.”[66]

Martin R. Frankel

Martin R. Frankel

In 1999, Bolan would represent Martin R. Frankel, who had used Bolan’s connections to the Vatican as part of a scheme to dupe investors. Frankel used astrology to make financial trading decisions, and maintained a cult-like compound in Greenwich which included sadomasochism and group sex. Frankel required several of his female employees to sign “sex slave” contracts, and to assist him in his “special projects” designed to satisfy his “deviant sexual desires,” which included two teenage girls he had brought in from Russia.[67] Frankel’s scheme involved donating $55 million to the Vatican for a charitable foundation, the Vatican keeping $5 million and allowing Frankel to retain control over the remaining $50 million. Through Bolan, Frankel was introduced to Monsignor Emilio Colagiovanni, a senior member of the Vatican, who helped propose the insurance fraud scheme to senior Vatican officials. He was caught in 1999, and in 2004 was sentenced to 200 months in prison based on over $200 million in proven losses to insurance companies he bought then looted.
