Phonefagging and fell through a rabbit hole. Started with Operation Northwoods from another bread, Animal Farm, and ended with this interesting article on Evergreen…
Evergreen International Aviation, Inc. is an Oregon-based aviation company with longstanding ties to the CIA. Its huge Evergreen Maintenance Center in Arizona was bought from the Agency, which offered the property to no-one else.[1] In 1980 an Evergreen plane flew the recently deposed Shah of Iran from Panama to Egypt, hours before the Panamanian government was due to receive an extradition request from the new government in Tehran.[1] Giving rides to dictators is something of a specialty for the company – it also allowed El Salvador‘s President Duarte to use its helicopter, which was officially in the country to help repair power lines.[1]
And according to a series of articles in The Oregonian in 1988, Evergreen’s owner and founder Delford M. Smith “… acknowledged one agreement under which his companies provide occasional jobs and cover to foreign nationals the CIA wants taken out of other countries or brought into the United States. However, neither Smith nor CIA officials would say whether any broader agreement existed.”[1]
Evergreen is a member of the International Peace Operations Association. Press releases from the company list as a press contact Nathan Drevna from the major PR firm Hill & Knowlton. [1]
