" Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is June 30, 1982,
and this is my AUDIO LETTER(R) No. 76.

On the afternoon of June 25, just five days ago, reporters
were summoned to the White House press room for a sudden major
announcement. At around 3:00 P.M. the entity known as President
Reagan strode in and walked to the microphone. Then, with an
announcement about a minute long, he dropped what seemed to be a
bombshell.

For public consumption he began the announcement with words of
praise and regret, but his face was the face of an executioner.
Then he came to the only words that really mattered (Note: actual
voice recorded; reveals tone):

"With great regret I have accepted the resignation of Secretary
of State Al Haig."

The impression was given that Haig had resigned voluntarily and
that its timing was a great surprise, but that impression was not
the truth, my friends. Reagan's very next words were (his voice
again):

"I am nominating as his successor, and he has accepted, George
Shultz, to replace him."

Haig's ouster had been planned very carefully by insiders close
to Reagan. After stunning reporters with the announcement about
Haig, the President refused to give any reasons and left without
taking questions.

A little later it was announced that Haig himself would make a
statement at the State Department. It was scheduled for 4:00
P.M., but Haig was nearly half an hour late. He had learned of
his ouster only a few hours earlier, around noon. He had been
compelled to compose a letter of resignation and pretend, for
public consumption, that he had already given it to Reagan; but
his late arrival at the State Department press conference was due
to the fact that he was putting last-minute touches on his public
statement.

When Haig arrived at the State Department auditorium, he faced
an audience of around 1,000 reporters and department employees.
As he was greeted by thunderous applause, Haig looked around
wide-eyed, as if in a daze. He had been ordered to keep his
entire statement to a maximum of five minutes. He had also been
warned not to accept questions.

We have been told by the controlled major media that Haig
resigned as an abrasive prima donna, incensed that he was not
getting his way; but when Haig took the microphone that afternoon
at the State Department, his demeanor was far from that of a
prima donna--he was instead, a defeated General at the moment of
surrender. The peculiar etiquette that governs this type of
situation causes words to obscure this fact, but his voice and
mannerisms were laden with the unmistakable burden of defeat. He
spoke slowly, trying to keep the quaver in his voice under
control. His tones were the lifeless tones of resignation that
say, "I tried, but I failed."

Haig read the text of his alleged resignation letter to Reagan
which he had written hurriedly that afternoon. He began by
praising the alleged original foreign policy plans of the Reagan
Administration before it was subverted by the Bolsheviks here.
At one point he could hardly get the words out (Note: actual
voice recorded):

"I believe that we shared a view of America's role in the world
as the leader of free men and an inspiration for all."

Then he went on to describe a change of course which has taken
place (his voice again):

"In recent months it has become clear to me that the foreign
policy on which we embarked together was shifting from that
careful course which we laid out. Under these circumstances I
feel it necessary to request that you accept my resignation."

My friends, diplomatic language is often so bland that it tends
to make momentous statements sound tame and mild to the public.
In recent months American foreign policy has indeed been moving
away from what could be called a "careful course", just as Haig
said.

As I have been reporting, we are on a fast new timetable for
nuclear war. Haig was the top Government operative of the
faction which has been trying to prevent the coming war; but, my
friends, the anti-war faction has lost, and Haig's ouster is the
most visible signal that this has happened. [...]"
