Chip Tatum

Deep state operative who has named a lot of names, espceially in the area of CIA drug trafficking and the Iran-Contra deal.

Dois Gene "Chip" Tatum claims to have been an assassin for George H. W. Bush who quit in 1992 after Bush ordered him to "neutralize" Ross Perot. He became active as a whistleblower in 1995 after being charged with treason, which the state blamed on a data error.

By his own account, Chip Tatum was a helicopter pilot for the United States Army from 1982 to 1986, during which time he flew missions in Central America and also from Ft Campbell, Kentucky. From 1986 to 1992 he was an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, operating under a deep-cover assignment.

Tatum claimed to have participated in the attack on Cambodia's main airport in Phnom Penh on January 22, 1971 as part of an American special forces team under orders from Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig. According to Tatum's account, his team brought in Vietcong prisoners to kill and leave behind for the Cambodians to find.

Someone in the chain of command had ordered their Montagnard guides to kill the team members after the mission, but the team avoided the trap. Upon learning of their survival, their commanding officer, a Colonel Brown, declared them to be hostiles and ordered a napalm attack on their position.

Tatum named support staff back at Task Force Alpha in Nakhon Phanom as Master Sergeant Bobby Cox, Tech Sergeant Jim Taylor, and Sergeant Tim Flagler

Tatum at times claims to have been given the code name Pegasus as a personal CIA code name, and at other times claims to have been recruited into a CIA unit whose code name was Pegasus

From David Guyatt:

Tatumbelieves Pegasus was established during the Eisenhower years as a secret group inside the CIA to spy on that agency on behalf of the President. At some point - believed to be after the assassination of President Kennedy - Pegasus went AWOL from direct US Government control and came under the direction of an international Board of Directors which Tatum alleges now includes George Bush and Henry Kissinger…

It was in 1981, according to Tatum, that "President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive number 3 (NSDD-3) which authorised the Vice President to chair the Special Situation Group (SSG). The Special Situation Group was a division under the National Security Council (NSC). One entity formed to support the SSG was the Terrorist Incident Working Group (TIWG), established in April 1982 by authority of President Reagan in NSDD-30. This group consisted of representatives of the following: Director of Central Intelligence, Department of Defense, FBI, NSC staff and others as required.

Tatum explained that, "The purpose of TIWG is to provide SSG with direct operational support. TIWG then recommended to the President that a Terrorism Task Force be formed and chaired by the head of SSG (the Vice President). Reagan approved NSDD-138 in April 1984, which extended TIWG's arm and ability to form sub-groups. As a result of NSDD-138 was the formation of the Operations Sub-Group (OSG). The Sub-Group was a select NSC-DoD-CIA-FBI-foreign intelligence agency which operated so as to bypass the regular operations of intelligence/military/law-enforcement agencies. OSG was formed in February 1986."

Does the British Government have a deniable assassination squad?

GROUP 13

It is the number that carries the most occult significance. Throughout Europe it has historically been regarded as an ill omen. In Norse mythology, the number 13 often signifies death. Today, in the United Kingdom, there exists a paramilitary unit called Group 13.

The sole purpose of this ultra secretive unit is deniable assassination and it operates in the world of shadows. So little is known about them, that it is exceptionally hard to document its activities with any certainty.

One individual - a former civilian undercover agent for the security services, recounted his story of a encounter with Group 13. Gary Murray, author of “Enemies of the State” had decided to research Group 13 to write a book on them. He soon changed his mind. One day during his research phase he was forcibly dragged in to the back of a Transit van and had a gun stuck to his head. A voice told him it would be unwise to continue his project. Sensibly, he decided to abandon the project and instead write a book on an altogether different subject.

Group 13 is generally believed to have evolved from former SAS soldiers and Security and Intelligence operatives who were once active in Northern Ireland during the mid to late nineteen seventies when a Labour Government was still in power. Fred Holroyd, a Captain in British Army Intelligence, served in Northern Ireland during this period.

Holroyd was tasked with developing informers and other human intelligence sources connected to the IRA. It was inherently dangerous work, made a lot worse by a viscous turf battle between MI5 and MI6 for control of the Northern Ireland “patch.”

Matters grew increasingly nasty as “assets” for each of the two contending groups were tossed to the wolves. Holroyd, when interviewed, outlined some details of this dirty war, recalled incidents where bombs were placed by one of these factions and then roundly blamed on the IRA. Holroyd’s story and later disgraceful treatment at the hands of the British Army are recounted in his book “War without Honour.”

Holroyd’s account sheds light on the so called “Shoot to Kill” policy in Northern Ireland that resulted in the dysfunctional investigation of former senior police officer, John Stalker. This investigation ultimately resulted in the gripping feature film: Hidden Agenda.

The Special Air Service was formed during WW11 by David Stirling with the intention to operate behind enemy lines and to perform acts of sabotage and assassination. By 1969, the SAS had been sent to Northern Ireland to perform covert operations against the IRA - which included assassination.

To cover their deployment to this politically sensitive area they chose the guise of “training teams.” A succession of cover names was used over the next few years; these included the Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF), the 14th Intelligence unit, and the Four Field Survey Troop, Royal Engineers. Fred Holroyd states that the latter was very definitely a SAS undercover unit stationed at the Royal Engineers base at Castiledillon, Armagh.

Terry Reed described the group as "the DENIABLE LINK between authorized military operations and the unauthorized activities of the Central Intelligence Agency".[They are also mentioned by Chip Tatum

NOTE:

An anti-submarine warfare group was referred to as "Task Group Alpha" in 1959.

Possible link to the "MENA CONNECTION" (Mena is a city in Polk County, ARKANSAS, United States, with around 5000 residents. It was a central drug delivery hub used by the Enterprise whose operations imported cocaine from South America and as a source of flights used to deliver weapons to Nicaragua during Iran-Contra)

-(summing up and deepening some info already posted in a historical context)-

Operation 40

Operation 40 was a CIA-sponsored hit squad of the 1960s, composed mostly of Cubans. It was active in the United States and the Caribbean (including Cuba), Central America, and Mexico. Many researchers, including Daniel Hopsicker and Mark Gorton, have claimed that many Operation 40 members were involved in the JFK Assassination.Their names do continue to pop up in deep events decades later, from the Watergate Coup to assassinations such as those of John Lennon and Adelino Amaro da Costa.

The group was officially non-existant for many years. Recently however the CIA has admitted that Operation 40 existed, but refuses to give details; a 2014 FOIA request to the CIA returned 2 documents with a total of just 6 pages.

On 11 December 1959, following the Cuban Revolution of January 1959, Colonel J.C. King, chief of the CIA's Western Hemisphere Division, sent a confidential memorandum to CIA director Allen W. Dulles. King argued that in Cuba there existed a "far-left dictatorship, which if allowed to remain will encourage similar actions against U.S. holdings in other Latin American countries." As a result of this memorandum, Dulles established a ZR/RIFLE unit named Operation 40, from the "Group of 40" of the National Security Council group that followed Cuba. It was created by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower in March 1960, after the January 1959 Cuban Revolution, and was presided over by Vice-president Richard Nixon.

Fabian Escalante writes in The Secret War: CIA Covert Operations Against Cuba, 1959-62 that Jack Alston Crichton and George H. W. Bush were active in raising funds for Operation 40.

Tracy Barnes functioned as operating office of the Cuban Task Force. He called a meeting on 18 January 1960, in his temporary office near the Lincoln Memorial. Those attending included David Atlee Phillips, Jacob 'Jake' Esterline, E. Howard Hunt, and 'Frank Bender' (an alias of Gerry Droller), all of the CIA.[Barnes, Phillips, Esterline, Hunt, David Sánchez Morales and others had previously worked together in the 1954 overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala, organized by the CIA under the code-name Operation PBSUCCESS.

On 17 March 1960, President Eisenhower signed a National Security Council directive on the anti-Cuban covert action program authorizing the CIA to organize, train, and equip Cuban refugees as a guerrilla force to overthrow the government of Cuban prime minister Fidel Castro.

The group recruited former Batista-regime intelligence officers and mob henchmen such as Eladio del Valle and Rolando Masferrer, soldiers of fortune such as Frank Sturgis, and CIA case officers such as Col. William Bishop and David Sanchez Morales, who managed teams of assassins. (SEE picture for info)

NOTE: the famous photo was taken in a nightclub in Mexico City on 22nd January, 1963. It is believed that the men in the photograph are all members of Operation 40. Closest to the camera on the left is Felix Rodriguez. Next to him are Porter Goss and Barry Seal. Tosh Plumlee is attempting to hide his face with his coat, and William Seymour is in front of him. Others in the picture are Alberto Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right)."

Zapata Oil

Zapata Oil was an oil exploration business set up by George H. W. Bush which was never notably profitable in the usual commercial sense, and seems to have worked more as a front for a range of espionage and covert operations.

The company was started with assistance from Allen Dulles and (fellow bonesmen) H. Neil Mallon and Bush's maternal uncle, Herbert Walker, an investment banker, who put up the capital. Walker was instrumental in bringing in others such as Eugene Meyer (owner of the Washington Post, who investments were handled by Brown Brothers Harriman).

A CIA internal memo dated November 29, 1975 confirmed that Zapata Petroleum began in 1953 through Bush's joint efforts with Thomas J. Devine, a CIA staffer who had resigned his agency position that same year to go into private business, but who continued to work for the CIA under commercial cover.

Zapata's "explorations" appear to have been lead more by deep politics than by commercial or geological factors.

By 1963, Zapata Off-Shore had four operational oil-drilling rigs—Scorpion (1956), Vinegaroon (1957), Sidewinder, and (in the Persian Gulf) Nola III.

Zapata was never run primarily to make a profit, but more as a cover for intelligence agency operations. Russ Baker notes investors knew that their investment was appreciated by Bush's father, the influential Prescott Bush. A lot more details are available in Russ Baker's Family of Secrets.

Zapata's filing records with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are intact for the years 1955–1959, and again from 1967 onwards. However, records for the years 1960–1966 are missing. The commission's records officer stated that the records were inadvertently placed in a session file to be destroyed by a federal warehouse, and that a total of 1,000 boxes were pulped in this procedure.

The destruction of records occurred either in October 1983 (according to the records officer), or in 1981, shortly after Bush became Vice President of the United States (according to, Wison Carpenter, a record analyst with the commission). After Jonathan Kwitny unearthed duplicate copies elsewhere, Bush admitted through a spokesman a brief business relationship with Jorge Diaz Serrano, which he claimed lasted just 7 months, yet which the duplicate SEC filings made clear in fact lasted 4 years. They also established that the relationship involved both breaking Mexican law and keeping US shareholders in the dark about the deal - a violation of US law.
