Wackenhut;
-By 1965, Wackenhut was boasting to potential investors that the company maintained files on 2.5 million suspected dissidents.
1992 Today the company is the third-largest investigative security firm in the country, with offices in 39 countries. When it comes to security matters, Wackenhut in many respects "is" the government. In 1991, a third of the company’s $600- million came from the federal government.
-Wackenhut is the largest single company supplying security to U.S. embassies overseas; several of the 13 embassies. It also guards nearly all the most strategic government facilities in the USA -Wackenhut has a close relationship with federal govt.
-current and recent members of the board have included much of the country’s recent national former former Marine commandant, FBI etc. Before his appointment as Reagan’s CIA director, the late William Casey was Wackenhut’s outside legal counsel.
-We wanted to know more about this special relationship; but the government was not forthcoming. Repeated requests to the Department of Energy for an explanation of how one company got the security contracts for nearly all of America’s most strategic installations have gone unanswered.
-"All those contracts;" said one security-firm executive, "are just another way to pay Wackenhut for their clandestine help."
“It is known throughout the industry," said retired FBI special agent William Hinshaw, "that if you want a dirty job done, call Wackenhut."
.The highlight of the usual collection of pictures and awards is the Republican presidents: an autographed photo of Wackenhut shaking hands with George Bush (whom Wackenhut, according to a former associate, used to call "that pinko") as well as framed photos of Presidents Reagan, Nixon and Bush, each accompanied by a handwritten note.
-numerous experts, including current and former CIA agents and analysts, current and former agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, current and former Wackenhut executives and employees, said in the mid-197O’s, after the Senate Intelligence Committee’s revelations of the CIA’s covert and illegal overseas operations, the agency and Wackenhut grew very, very close.
-Those revelations had forced the CIA to do a housecleaning, and it became CIA policy that certain kinds of activities would no longer officially be performed. But that didn’t always mean that the need or the desire to undertake such operations disappeared. And that’s where Wackenhut came in.
-Wackenhut has had a long-standing relationship with the CIA:
-Berckmans, who left Wackenhut in 1981, said he has seen a formal proposal George Wackenhut submitted to the CIA to allow the agency to use Wackenhut offices throughout the world as fronts for CIA activities.
-Richard Babayan, who says he was a CIA contract employee and is currently in jail awaiting trial on fraud and racketeering charges, has been cooperating with federal and congressional investigators looking into illegal shipments of nuclear-and-chemical-weapons - making supplies to Iraq.
"Wackenhut has been used by the CIA and other intelligence agencies for years," he told SPY.
-Phillip Agee, the left-wing former CIA agent who wrote an expose’ of the agency in 1975, told us, "I don’t have the slightest doubt that the CIA and Wackenhut overlap."
-William Corbett, a terrorism expert who spent 18 years as a CIA confirmed the relationship between Wackenhut and the agency.
"For years Wackenhut has been involved with the CIA and other intelligence organizations, including the DEA.”
"Wackenhut would allow the CIA to occupy positions within the company [in order to carry out] clandestine operations."
-He also said that Wackenhut would supply intelligence agencies with information, and that it was compensated for this- "in a quid pro quo arrangement," Corbett says - with government contracts worth billions of dollars over the years.
-Wackenhut carried the CIA’s water in fighting Communist encroachment in Central America in the 1980s (that is to say, during the Reagan administration when the CIA director was former Wackenhut lawyer William Casey.
-In 1981, Berckmans, the CIA agent turned Wackenhut vice president, joined with other senior Wackenhut executives to form the company’s Special Projects Division.
