Report by (QhOUKesT oe « Bevruary 1, 1975 SUBJECT: Ron Eddy; George liitchell Hoover. me | It has been ascertained that at this time Ron Eddy of Poway 4a not interested in trying to form or lead any type of security force for any right-wing extremist group. When asked by James K. Warner of Los Angeles (via Dennis Loso of Escondido) if he would do this, Eady stated that he would like to see the formation of a Security Force with teeth in it but does not consider himself to be enough of a leader to do it himself. While declining to lead a Security Force, Eaay did say that the only way to stop FBI infiltration of rightist groups would be for one of the infiltrators to "wind up in the river" someday, Eddy is positive that Tom Knight's San Diego unit of the Nazi Party has @ regular FBI infiltrator. The only three men of whom he is not sus~ picious are Mickey Wakefield, Ray Wilson and Gerald Smith. Saié Eddy, "Those three men dropped ont of the thing and so I figure they're okay but you can bet that the fink is “gtill in there pushing". ; Ioso seid that the. whereabouts of people like ‘Barry Godfrey should be learned and they ‘should be telephoned and intimidated. _ Bady said he thinks such intimidations would be a waste of time and that people like Godirey should be killed. . iekey Wakefield of Saa Marcos went along with iddy's.- suggestion. Ren Eady also menticned having had an encounter with an FBI agent named Peterson in San Diego but did not elaborate. ° Eddy firmly believes ‘that any man who commits himself to one’ organization in the Far Right should not be involved with others. He says he would be very suspicious of anyone who is. He is also somewhat suspicicus of Tom Knight. He says that Joe Brinker gave Knight, the name of a man interested in Nazism and two weeks later the FBI interviewed the man. Also, Eddy wonders how Knight saved his federal job in the face of his continued Nazi activities. Eddy | feels that anc regular rightist extremist who stays on with the hazi | Party now mut warrant heavy suspicion of being an FBI informant. On Friday night, January 31, 1975 Ron Eddy met Tom Metzger of Fallbrook for the first time. Metzger showea Zidy some pictures and slides of New Christian Crusade activities and the two seemed to hit it off pretty well, Metzger told Eddy, Wakefield and Loso of a visit he received at his home on January 17, 1975 from agents of the Internal -  eusone Perotalssysoscte paga bodhe arentna were nervoug. & #
. * “Page 2 - . George Mitchell Hoover Here ia one last bit of information. The New Christian Crusade people are very concerned about the imprisonment of George Hoover of the Secret Army Organization. At one of their banquets the NCC had . four unoccupied places set at the table which were in honor of four men whom they hold to be absent heroes, These four men were Joe MeCar ° George Hoover, Charles Lindbergh and a man named R. Miles. . Anyway, it has been learned that a man whom Tom Metzger knows is going to take a dossier of the Hoover case to some congressman in Washington, D.C. who is part of a committee currently scheduled - to investigate the FBI. The dossier-consists of newspaper clippings and other material pertaining to Hoover's activities in the SAO, his errest, conviction, appeal, etc. They are hoping to stir up a big publicity stink to give the FBI a bad name due to Barry Godfrey's _ activities and in so doing hope to effect an eventual release of Hoove: from prison. By the way, the HCC people do not refer to Hoover by. his correct name. For some reason they all call him Mickey Hoover. , ‘That is about all for now. “I hope this will be of some help to you. z % 2 Ed Es x 5 > £ 3 2 (AM emi T HW 55000 Docld:32969523 Page 250.

7 7 SUBJECTS: NCO picke : “sorder; thoughts on NCC; Wer 4 punds. Here is some more information regarding the National Christian Crusade picket which took place at the J.S.-Nexico border in San Ysidro on December §, 1974. Cf the 16 men who took part in this uniformed picket, 10 were fron the San Diezo area and 6 were from Los zngeles, It was mistakenly stated in yesterday's report on this . demonstration that 10 of the nen were identified. In reality, 11 were fully identifs 4 partially identified, and 4 unidentified. The 4 unidentified were all from Lewis Also, the members of this picket were divided into two contingents, Los angeles and San Diego. Commanding the San Diego group was Tom Metzger of Fallbrook and in charge of the L.ae men was Rick Norton. Also, Norton was in overall command of the operation. | . Two other things which were not mentioned in the earlier report are as Follows. First, Norton told his men that if attacked, they should form into a back to back square and "let her rip", Also, after the conclusion of the demonstration, Norton conducted a very brief prayer. 7 “As to my thoughts on the HCC, I feel that this group has the potential to “ comnand much more support from a broader base of people then most of the right-wing extremist groups, Jt seems significant to this informant thet men like Vic “alton and Bill Miller would actually get up the nerve to take to the streets in uniforn, a thing they never did for the Nazi Party although both supported it. It is also notevorthy that the NCC was able to draw supporters from so neny other extremist groups. Taking part in this demonstration were elements from the Nazi Party, the Tax Rebellion Committee, the Netional States Rights Party, the Mindstr_ ; i of Christ Church and the old Secret Army Organization. 7 ; , Also, this group does not automatically get adverse responses from the public : in the streets. Inceed, many passersby indicated their support for the group's ains _ approachable than that of groups like the NSWPP or MCC, They more easily establick ee me ere _4n the demonstration of the Eth, The leadership is more intelligent and more : ! ~ som, were ot & good rapport with the public in general and are not so blunt in stating their raciers, HW 55000 DocId:32989523 Page 232 Avr fo ne we oy

et by (format oe | mm. § _j974 rCT: Posse Comitatus, a si During the last two years this informant has spent a great deal rime studying the tactics, personalities and stated soals of both Hationel Socialist Yhite People's Farty and the Ministry of Christ roche Until recently I considered the NSWPP tc be more of a threat he security of peace and law in the United States than the MCC but events of recent months have caused me to change my view of these groups about 180 degrees. I now regard the HCC to be a far greater ce than the NSVEPP is likely ever to become. | _ fhe main reason for my change of relative attitudes toward these groups has been the increased preoccupation of certain KCC members. : Posse Comitatus. Also known as the Christian Posse Association, organization serves as the paramilitary arm of the MCC, The goeais tts ‘most ardent activists seem to be very similar to those of the ts but their tactics are quite different. Instead of wrapping them- ves in the Swastika, they uphold the Christian Cross as their symb ol. ike the head-on street clasnes which many of ‘the Nezis seem to relish, bers. of Posse Comitatus gen 1erally tend to prefer. being sécretive and waestine ain their operations. ‘They generally seem to fancy themselve se revolutiongries and as fanatical as some of them appear, I believe potential exists for the Posse to become a truly revolutionary groin. Dennis Loso was at one time a mejor financial supporter: of the PP, He hes renounced thay grown since 1972 but not because of its soses but only because he considers it to be ineffective. He is now edicated supporter of the KCC and lis nations] leader, William Gele. lb almost never misses an ECC meeting in San Diego, frequently visits Glendale meetings of HCC, and more recently attended the MCC seminar wanassa Ranch in Mariposa. If Loso is not already an officer within se Comitatua, then the potential certainly exists for him to become +. Loso is also an admirer of Jack Fredericks and was just elected to San Diego County Central Comittee of the American Independent Party. Welt Kendall, another ex-Nazii supporter who has turned to the NCC, also a potential activist for Posse Comitatus. Kendall attends perhaps -of Gale's meetinss in San Diego and is definitely not bothered by ‘prospect of using violence to attain political goals. He once sug- ted that Sheriff John Duffy of San Dieso County should be assassinated. Jerry Busch, a.k.a. Mark Roberts, is another man to watch. He MSNod bbexdcazaedses aPdbe aand atresses the importance of MCC members Ae ee ee PRI erat tal wet eet COIR. eee Re cerca ee menatemnemnenemnnnB I 966 7 e707
i . : Sy iteide the realm of nor correspondence. TWO-Wiy radio contact sems to be his favorite. Busch once stated his desire to murder De eputy satrict Attorney Hewicker of San Diego. Busch is very suspicious ad paranoid of everyone.. . ; Sian McDade, former Secret Army Organisation arfilicte, is definitel; + the Posse Comitatus picture. He occasionally attends MCC meetiags an San Diego. A friend of George Hoover, McDade made a feeble write-in O ampaign for sheriff against John Duffy but it never amounted to much. sont the only support he wosoived came from affiliates of the Posse. Joe and Harriet Brinker are almost sure to be members of Poss? meitatus. Long time supporters of the ECC, they never miss a meeting z other NOC acti vity and have often €riven long distances across country “ u ist to participate in such events. Harriet is definitely the brains t t e this pair. In spite of their very radical political stance, however, his informant does not consider either one of them to be capable of a remeditated act of violence. George Metaser seems to be very. deeply involved in Posse Comitatus. B. th . is an organizer, a "take charge" man and 2 pretty good speaker bo E-private and tefore gro Lys ups. He is not aynamic but speaks carefully. ir of sincerity and believability. Certainly Kliberately and with ena kS actions should be observed Joe Reedy is a close associate of Metzger. He seldom has much to yy and appears merely to be a faithful follower who would | be © willing F gO along with whatever the others decide. Bill Miller is very closely tied with the NCC and has been for a mg time. However, he is definitely not the violent type. He tapes rery one of Gale's sermons and-never misses a meeting. Gerald Smith eked Miller ont. of the NSYPP because he considered him to be cowardly . more interested in promoting the MCC than the NS‘YPP, be Ron Eddy is a man who owes allegiance to no particular group or tader but who could very likely become involved’ in a group like Posse mitatus. He hes been a long time supporter, ifa sporadic one, of e HSWPP. At one time Eddy was a Gale follower but he has had nothing do with the I.CC since 1972 because he now considers Gale to be a phony. iam sure that Eddy would have no scruples at all about assassination “he thought the chances of getting avay with it to bé feasible. He distrustful of organizations but just this very nicht 5 vated that Lf 3. good is to be done, then we must have a certain amount of organ any im 550 Docld: 32969523 Page 246 ; Oh oo eantt tuaki have nan nimnh af AnAtwut{Aiala snes. danse 2 eee ed dae weet ce abn MORRO ANNE MRI ND A) ta fet ton Trew Get on tare
Eddy stated, however, that he is very distrustful of anyone whom he has not known for a very long time and would definitely do some exten- give clheeiuing dutc a person's background before trusting him as a con- federate in any terrerist activity. Eddy seems to enjoy violence but he. is also a clever, intelligent man and should never be underestimated, ated 2) I regard him as being one of the most dangerous people named in this report even though I do not believe him to be a member of Posse Comitatus as yet. | , Vic Walton is another figure who is likely to have a hand in the organization of Posse Comitatus in San Diego County. This attorney, in this informant's opinion, presents no threat of physical violence a sateat one ws whatever but he serves as a sort of liaison man. between the various right-wing extremist groups in the Southern California area, He is intellisent and seems to be feirly well off financially. Through hin many others can be reached as Walton has been involved with people in ‘ the NSYPP,. the HCC, the. SAO, Comparet's group and virtually any other extremist outfit in the right-wing which one might think of in this arez._ | hope is report will give you some idea as to the current status th of Posse Comitatus in San Diego County. At least I believe it to be a fairly accurate description of some of the prime-movers of Posse Comitetu . as of the present. Due to the more underground nature of this group, it is more difficult to keep tabs on than is the openly Nazi Party. However, as this organizational arm of the MCC makes the attempt to PM spe esoenton tare establish itself as a force to be reckoned with and to consolidate Whatever power it might sain, certain characteristics of it are bound to surface and become more clear. This informant Will do his best to “learn as much about this emerging group as quickly as possible end to relay the information to you as accuzately as can be done. One thing seems to be very certain and that is that San Diego County seems to be hr AR RE YL extremely fertile soil for the flourishing of'a group like Posse Con nitate. That is all for now. | | vs Oe [NEOQMOWF HW 55000 Docld: 3279689525 Page 247 . 2

HW 55000 os . ren Sean og . . . . . Report by inFeQt mane Y/s/ ye Meeting of Colonel WILLIAM GALE at _ O'Neira Hall on the Evening of March 28, 1974, San Diego, California Approximately 75 persons were present at that meetinge It included, among others, GEORGE UDVARY, VICTOR Be WALTON, MICKEY WAKEFIELD, J. ANDREW SIMPSON, ELLEN ADAMS, BILL MILLER, JONATHAN WEST, JOE BRINKER, HARRIET BRINKER, JANET BRINKER, Colonel WILLIAM GALE, ANN NUTTER, and others who are very old and very inactive. There were a number of individuals present who are as yet unknown to me. GEORGE UDVARY does not seem to have made his move yet--permanent move out of the area. He's still in process, I believe, as best I can tell at ‘this time. MICKEY WAKEFIELD came down from Escondido, was hoping to run into some of his para-military friends, one or two of whom did not evidently arrive. He did rum into VICTOR WALTON who he is close to. BILL MILLER was there and very involved-- on the surface at least.. ELLEN ADAMS was distributing literature. JOE and HARRIET BRINKER came in from Escondido and of course are primarily responsible for putting on that | monthly meeting and so they were working with that. Docld: 32969523 ~- Page 250 —- tee ed => -* , ape any De ee anand pine
‘ oe . 7 , o "eo? There was security that night--more so than would ordinarily be expected. A fellow by the name of ‘DENNIS was inside with a 23-channel, fiv-watt Citizens Band walkie-talkie, Realistic brand, sold by Radio Shack. He kept monitoring another individual whose name I do not have who was outside. He had a two or three channel Citizens Band walkie-talkie, Midland brand, and they were checking - to see if anyone would give them any trouble. This was because of a publication that indicated where their meeting would be held. They didn't indicate what they would do if. such trouble arrived. Colonel GALE discussed an article on himself and , the identity movement as written up in Volume V, Issue 14, of a bi-monthly publication, called the San Diego Door. I believe that's a March, 1974 issue. Colonel GALE read directly from the article and made comments and corrections ‘as he went. -He said, now I will read-~follow this and read as much as possible that seems relevant. He read from*the article: "But the public meetings are only: part of the . package. Whenever GALE speaks, he recruits followers into the para-military part of his organization. That part is called ‘Identity' and has so far incorporated many old . Minutemen and secret army elements in Southern California." To that, Colonel GALE indicated that “Identity” was the name of his church publication--he thought it was _ AW 55000 Docld: 32989523 Page 245.1...,
HW 55900 DocId:32989523 Page 252 - very humorous: that they thought it was something else. The term is used to describe their philosophy. The para-military part of their operation is under such titles as the "Christian Posse Association." I will make another quote here from the publication: "JERRY LYNN DAVIS, the ex-head of the SAO in California, has been reported at GALE's public meetings." According _ to NICKEY WAKEFIELD who .was sitting next to me during this aw? meeting, DAVIS had not, as far as he knew, ever been to a San Diego meeting. . : . Another quote Colonel GALE made: “Identity is erganized in similar fashion to other underground organizations-- small cells communicate through a series of intermediaries and blind post office boxes." Golonel GALE did not comment further; however, the mailing network for the rational tape groups, the Christian Posse Association groups, and the - amateur radio network are the pimary communication links _ o£ GALE's group. Another quote Colonel GALE made from the article: "In San Diego, GALE can be heard speaking to his congregation. on the fourth Thursday of every month at the O'Neira Club on Holly Street" or something of that nature "between 34th and 35th Streets, one block south of Adams Avenue." The street was incorrectly quoted--it!s Hawley, and Colonel GALE made an observation on that, indicating he thought the information was transferred to the person at this publication FOS a Pee een tae
EAE RS EG SP Oe reer nae ARTI LOONIE cement it by telephone and that he figured, he had that all figured out that way because the person must have misunderstood the name and got it wrong. f ’ The next quote from the publication: “According a to one law enforcement source, Identity has about 50 members in the San Diego area, including members of the San, Diego Sheriff's Department and reserve police officers.'' Colonel GALE indicated support from and for law enforcement-~indicated os at he has an assistant pastor in Glendale who has an important position in the Los Angeles County Sherifé's Office, and that he claims support Eom a number of law enforcement areas. : | Another quote he indicated: “As for GALE, he pretends to be a minister of his church and operates through it as his front. GALE was one of the driving forces behind .the militant Christian Defense League (CDL) in the 60! Se He had formed the small California Rangers in the late 50's. The California State Attorney General's Office described the Rangers as," then they put a quote in here, in this article, "tA secret underground guerrilla force, Linked with other non-military organizations by a common ideology and leader- ship.’ " Colonel GALE indicated at this meeting the Rangers were registered with the state and had support of California law enforcement. | . Another quote from the article that the Colonel HW 55000 -Docld:32989523.. Page 253... Co — _ _
“oN Ry) oy made: wcatets Qratesy to recruit nomber@through veterans organizations was thwarted in 1963 when the Long Beach Press Telegram exposed his efforts to convert the American Legion. Post in Signal Hill into a Ranger front. It was after this that one of the Rangers was arrested for selling a machine gun and a stem gun to undercover agents.'’ Colonel GALE . indicated that he was involved to some extent with this particular post, with this particular veterans group, that he transferred from the Hollywood post. Also, he said that the Ranger's, that particular Ranger's arrest, was an. ‘entrapment and an unfortunate error on that Ranger's part. - Another quote he made: “The CDL was quite an ¥ - organization when GALE was a part of it. It grew to include the Klan, the National States’ Rights Party, and many other Right Wing groups.‘ Colonel GALE admitted connection with the Christian Defense League, indicating that he was very active. | Another quote: GALE has ample experience to found a para-military organization. In addition to more than 20 years involvement in right wing circles, GALE is a retired Lieutenant Colonel, U. S. Army. He served with the MAC ARTHUR command after World Wax. II in the counter- insurgency staff," and it goes on. But Colonel GALE corrected this counter-insurgency information. He indicated that he was on the staff of MAC ARTHUR in Japan, but previous to Docld:32989523 Page 254. tee Se me he SA a ree HE
ORE that was when he was involved in counter-lilsurgency and , .that was with the guerrilla activities in the Philippines, which was also indicated in this article. Then, another interesting thing, he quoted: "The SAO was in large part organized by HOWARD B. GODFREY, an FBI Agent." He didn't have anything notable to say about GODFREY. . oo \ Actually, one of the things he indicated, too, in this discussion of his was that there is a lot of diffi- culty getting different ‘right wing groups to coopekate - in a military fashion and that that is very necessary and I get the impression that he is attempting and wishes to whip these groups - into line in a really efficient military manner “that will be very effective and efficient. That: is the pri- mary problem. He also indicated his willingness to cooperate with law enforcement, of course on his terms no doubt; and he said he was ready and they were ready to face those ~ Jews and their articles and their so-called exposes and whatever else they might happen to want to do; that they are ready to communicate with their people and take care of anyone who gives them any trouble, He indicated that he had communication links all over-~that from his car he could talk immediately with his link in Saugus--I don't know what link he was referring to, but it was in Saugus, and in Glendale and other areas like that, which he mentioned. | HY ASO.

“Oo, wa , That covers much of his comments at that particu- lar meeting. There was quite a lot of response--the people enjoyed that immensely. It was a reaction similar to a -grandstanding and I think he was milking it for all he could get. J. ANDREW SIMPSON resides at 229 Kalmia Street, San Diego, California 92101, telephone number in San Diego. 232-5658. oo , _ | .There were some questions and answers during this session. JOE BRINKER was passing out blank pieces of paper so that people could write their comments and - questions on the paper which were then passed up-to Colonel we GALE. Along with those blank pieces-of paper, JOE BRINKER had a throw-away on the tax revolt. The heading was "Sunny .San Diego Invites You to 1974's Biggest Tax Expo’ and then L WW 55000. Docld: 32999523 Page 256 | another heading, “Tax Foes Tell Why and How They Stopped " etc., etc. It talked about meetings in Paying Income Fax,' the San Diego area on that.

Saturday, April 6th. For those who wish to write for information, they'd write to (for registration or information) to Tax Expo, 1570 Lily . Avenue, El Cajon, Califormia 92021. Now whether this point was being stressed more by JOE BRINKER or whether it was also tinder | the tacit approval of Colonel GALE, I do not know.

an Diego is a strange town, where the niceties of West- ern civilization cannot hide the power of the buck and the hint of brute force. it is the city built with the largesse of twenty-five years of imperial sway: a stronghold, a haven of anticommunism, a base for racke- teers, Richard Nixon considered it his lucky city. He wanted the Republican. Convention to be held there, and though the city fathers and the people of San Diego were not terribly enthusiastic, the plans went forward until May 1972, when the President abruptly changed his mind. Included in these plans, it turns out, was a tumultuous, massive, bloody riot—on such a seale as to justify the most extraordinary preventive measures, including burglary, bug- - ging, sabotage, and perhaps even kidnapping. Watergate, we learn from the likes of John W. Dean, was simply part of a strategy to maintain domestic tranquility in the face of a serious left- -wing threat, Presumably, this Red Menace existed in San Diego as well as Miami. But San Diego has never been a radical stronghold, and while local activists did undertake extensive preparations for anti-war demonstrations during the GOP convention, the Committee to Re-elect the President seems to have had a far higher opinion of their organizing suc- cesses than they themselves dared to entertain. Unless, of course, CREEP and its local San Diego allies were hell-bent on making certain that bedlam did in fact occur. That is precisely what a defecting agent provocateur named Lewis Tackwood suggested almost two years ago. Tackwood told an incredible story back in: October and November 1971, one which suggested the Republicans were doing their utmost to turn San Diego into a bloodbath during the convention, with the aim of annihilating the left, smearing the Democrats, and coasting comfortably into four more years of conservative rule. His allegations were regarded as the ravings of a madman until testimony in the Senate caucus room appeared to corroborate some of his wildest stories. He told of preparations to seal off and then * bomb 100,000 demonstrators attending a rock concert on | Fiesta {sland in Mission Bay, San Diego. All sorts of may- hem was supposed to occur. Bombs were to be smuggled into Convention Center in hollow furniture, which was al- Richard Popkin taught phitovophy at the University of California, -San Diego and now teaches at Washington University, St. Louts.

At least one major Repub- lican official would perish in the melee. The Democratic Party would be tied in to the events, discredited, possibly outlawed. The Republican candidate would then win an easy victory with the overwhelming support of an outraged citizenry. Today, Tackwood sticks by his original story (to be published in September by Avon as The Glasshouse Tapes), thougk he now adds that the plan also called for blowing up the podium as President Nixon was making his acceptance speech! [CIVIL WAR IN SAN DIEGO] iY ncredible as the Tackwood scenario seemed back in *i 1971, it sounded less outlandish to San Diego radicais i than to those on the outside. For two years, they had -* quite literally been engaged in protracted warfare with right-wingers determined to drive them out of the area. As early as 1970, activists associated with the San Diego Street Journal, an underground newspaper, were liv- ing in an armed fortress which they guarded around the clock against the attacks of night riders who would shoot into their houses, firebomb their cars and threaten their _lives. (Curiously, this terror campaign intensified as the paper exposed more and more illegal activities of San Diego kingpin C. Arnholt Smith.) On one occasion, for example, _sentries spotted two men crouched behind a car with a high-powered rifle trained on the house. It was late at night, - but they were prepared for such emergencies. At a signal, they switched.on floodlamps which bathed the house in light and they announced over a loudspeaker system that they would open fire if the men did not withdraw. The gunmen waited a moment, then dismantled their rifle, and drove off into the night. By late 1971, the vigilantes had stepped up their attacks and had chosen their principal targets. One of these was a certain Peter Bohhmer, a radical who at the time was teach- ing economics at San Diego State College. He began receiv. ing threatening phone calls, and on November 13. 197}, a car parked in front of his house was firebombed. Then on December 27, 1971, a group calling itself the Secret Army Organization put out a Special Bulletin on Peter Bohmer. After listing his anti-war activities, and his background, the letter said: “For any of our readers who may cure to look up this Red Scum, and say hello, here is some infucmauion (Continued on pase 56) se

On January 6, 1972, cross-hair ' stickers (the symbol of the SAO) were placed on the doors of three San Diego State College professors, including Bohmer. Then, an anonymous caller _ telephoned Bohmer’s residence to say, - “This time we left a sticker, next time we may leave a grenade. This is the SAG.” Bohmer’s friends were called and told to say goodbye to him. That © evening, two shots were fired into Bohmer’s home and a woman named Paula Tharp was wounded. The right-wing terror campaign con- ~* tinued for’ six more months, marked by death threats, menacing phone calls, and warning messages. Its climax came on June 19, 1972, when an SAO member bombed a local porno movie . house, the Guild Theatre. This last event finally aroused the San Diego police to drive the group underground. Police action brought a halt, at least temporarily, to right-wing terrorism in San Diego. But this is not the end of the tale. For in the months that fol- Jowed a very bizarre story began to un- ravel, one which involved the SAO, the FBI, and some mysterious contacts between the terrorists and agents of CREEP. The pieces began to appear as early as mid-1972, but it is only in re- cent months that they have been pulled together by reporters for another San Diego alternative news- paper, the Door. $6 RAMPARTS , AW 55000 DocId: 32989523 e . [SECRET ARMY-USA] he SAO,’ it seems, grew out of the demise of the Minutemen. Ss. According to a recently dis- covered document entitled “History of the Secret Army Organization,” it all began one morning in February, 1970, when “... a group of six Minutemen leaders:from four states met secretly in Northern Arizona to discuss the crisis that the arrest and imprisonment of two top Minutemen leaders and the assassination of a third had brought on the organization. Although some of these men had met before in their roles as Minutemen group leaders, others were meeting for the first ° time.” These men agreed that “the Minutemen as a national coordination organization of militant right wing groups had effectively been destroyed by the pro-communist elements inside the Justice Department,” and they fur- ther agreed that the need.for a co- ordinating organization was greater than ever “in view of the increased revolutionary activity by communists “in the United States.” The new organi- zation was the Secret Army Organiza- tion, and it would save America from its leftward drift ‘under Nixon’s regime. of the immediate need to set up para- military groups to carry on guerrilla warfare, and even open and conven- | tional warfare. A letter from “General Headquarters” dated November 8, 1971, outlines the ‘nature of SAO operations—combat teams, organiza-. tion, transportation, travel procedures, weapons and equipment, training les- sons, intelligence work, security, etc. They say that the country has entered . . “Stage HW”: a time when most people still think they can still get along with the government, but “a few real patriots are willing to take part in underground activity.” Stage II “will be a time of assassination and counter- assassination, terror and counter terror.” It is a period marked by “the communist infiltration and control of the present United States govern- ment.” , . SAO thus set out to wage total re- sistance to communism, a small band determined to risk all in the struggle for America. Nationwide, the group probably numbered less than 200 members, 30 of whom were active in San Diego county. There the group was founded by two men—Jetry Lyna Davis (Southland Coordinator) and Howard Berry Godfrey (San Diego Commander and Intelligence Officer). In late 1971 and the first half of 1972 the SAO put out bulletins on how to make booby traps, how to use ammonium nitrate in high explosives, and how to gain forced entry into buildings. (Much of this intormation was taken from Department of the _ Army Technical Manuals on “Uncon- ventional Warfare Devices and Tech- niques.”) The San Diego SAO also put .. "out bulletins about local liberals, radi- The initial SAO documents speak " cals and anti-war activists, all of whom were lumped together as communists. (These missives went out to a mailing list of 227 names in the area, including a naval commander, a county super visor, a vice admiral, a Marine Corps brigadier general, a rear admiral, and some San Diego police officers.) The group was organized into small, semi-autonomous cells. Members were listed by code numbers, and were given mail drops for their contacts. ee an ee Seiad a antral are nt ene oo
(THE FBI CONNECTION] June 1972 bombing of the Guild Theatre led to the group’s fall * from grace. A former Birchite named ' William Francis Yakopec was arrested and charged with the bombing, and in September 1972, he was brought to trial in the Superior Court of the State - of California in San Diego, before Judge Robert W. Conyers. Much to the astonishment of the SAO supporters, the star, witness against Yakopec turned out to be San Diego Com- mander Godfrey. Then a focal fireman, Godfrey admitted he had worked for the FBI since early 1967 as an under- cover agent. He did it, he said, because “ felt it was my duty to my country.” Before accepting the role, he had - talked it over with J. Clifford Wallace, then the Stake President of the Mormon Church for San Diego, and more recently a federal judge by appoint- ment of Richard Nixon. Wallace put Godfrey in touch with the FBI, and he was assigned to agent Steve Christian- . son, to whom he reported verbally > every day. Godfrey was to work on “the militant ‘right wing, and was paid $250.00 per month by the FBI. At first he was assigned to the Minute- men, and then with the demise of that . So thrived in San Diego until the group in San Diego, he helped start’ --and run the SAO in November 1971. - Godfrey testified that his FBI contacts knew all of his activities, including his - stockpiling of illegal explosives in his house. This, he said, was done with ~ their permission. (He later gave some _ of the explosives to Yakopec to “save them for after the Communist take- _ over of this country.”) Godfrey functioned as a one-man plumbers’ operation within the SAO. _ He knew how to pick locks, burglarize, - bomb and handle guns. The FBI paid his dues and covered his expenses. All this enabled him to carry on effective- “Ty as a terrorist. At Yakopec’s trial, he said that he actively recruited for the . group. What kind of people did he look for? “People with previous right wing connections.” Did he enlist po- tentially dangerous elements? “Yes, sir.” , Apparently, Godfrey himself was ~ among the more dangerous elements in the SAO, and agent Christianson among the more dangerous eniinerices HW 55000 DBocld:32989523 Page 267 “oo. ( grises of the operation. During the Yakopee trial, Godfrey admitted that he had driven the car from which another SAO member, Gedrge Hoover, had fired into Bohmer’s house, wound- ing Paula Tharp. Subsequently, he had taken the weapon to Christianson, who had hidden it for six months. (This was evidently insufficient grounds for the FBI to take disci- plinary action against agent Christian- son, He continued as Godfrey’s con- tact until the bombing of the Guild Theatre, at which point he was re- moved by L. Patrick Gray himself. He currently resides in Kanosh, Utah.) In addition, Godfrey confessed to publishing a certain leaflet on Febru- ary 18, 1972, the day on which Presi- dent Nixon left for China. The bulletin was headlined “Wanted for Treason,” and it featured a picture of Nixon and an inflammatory text which accused the President of high treason because of his China policy. The SAO symbol appeared at the bottom of the text, and the group distributed it in 15 cities—including San Diego, Phoenix, Yuma, San Francisco, and Bellingham, Washington. At the Yakopec trial, Godfrey testi- fied that-he had paid the printer for the posters, picked them up, and was reimbursed by the FBI, and that the FBI understood the nature of his ex- penditures and saw all of his SAO pub- lications. As for poor Yakopec, who had joined the SAO through Godfrey, his next door neighbor, he admitted to owning several of the posters: he said he stored them under his mattress. Why there? “I thought they were kind of corny.” Later, he testified that he kept a bomb with the Nixon posters. Did he generally keep bombs under his bed? “No, I like to sleep, too well.” (When | visited the San Diego Court House to see the exhibit in question, the custodian located a stack of 33 posters, with the bomb casing still at- tached!) It was not noted at the time, but in fact these posters bear a remarkable resemblance to leaflets which were dis- tributed in Dallas, Texas, just one or two days prior to the assassination of President Kennedy. That poster like- wise bore the headline “Wanted for Treason” and it also featured pictures (front and profile) of JFK and an in- ammatory text about the President's allegedly treasonous activities. On the hunch that the leaflet might have some connection with the assassination, the Warren Commission sent Seeret Ser- vicé agents to track down its author and printer. They worked from late November 1963, to May t9o4, until they found that Robert G. Klause had printed the flyer and that Robert Allan Surrey, an associate of Gen. Walker, had ordered it. When Surrey testified before the Commission on June 16, 1964, he pled the Fifth Amendment on all questions concern- ing the leaflet. The late Hale Boggs, a member of the Warren Commission, pointed out that Surrey “is the only witness out of hundreds who has pled the Fifth Amendment.” Klause denied any interest in or involvement with the contents of the leaflet, and there the matter was allowed to rest. By that _point, the Warren Commission was determined to prove that Oswald had acted alone, and therefore lost interest in trying to connect the assassination with the leaflet. . Godfrey’s surfacing as an FBI agent - rattled the remnants of the SAO. They were angry at having been set up by the FBI, and when reporters for the Door began approaching their old ad- versaries for information earlier this year, they found that many were will- ing to cooperate; some were even friendly. And as the SAO began to open up, a pattern began to emerge which seemed to link the San Diego events to Watergate. [BREAKTHROUGH] he breakthrough camce _ this 2 spring when an editor of the Door made contact with a former SAO militant named Jerry Busch. From November 1969 to the summer of 1971, said Busch, Howard Berry Godfrey made frequent visits to the Gunsmoke Ranch in El Cajon. “It was also during June, July, and August of 1971 that Berry Godfrey and Donald Segretti (posing as “Don Simms’) visited Gunsmoke ‘and though - supposedly not ‘knowing each other,’ they spoke together on at least one oc- easion,” in a quiet conversauon aside. The Segretti connection is important in itself’; it is particularly interesting in- sofur as—according to Buseh’s account -Sergretti was in touch with SAO ~ da paseo Pe TT.

. ” while contacting his old college chums “Chapin and Strachan in June . 2} bombing of the 197], but before commencing work as a dirty trickster in September 1971. Busch did not say what Segretti dis- cussed at the Gunsmoke Ranch, but he did report that following “these casual conversations” Godfrey came up with bizarre ideas to take care of what he called “those red punks”’—in the event that the GOP held its convention in San Diego. Among Godfrey’s plans in October 1971, were: 3) the use of massive dosages of LSD, cyanide or strychnine introduced into the punch at anti-war group ~ meetings; VVAW head- quarters, the Guild Theatre, and several porno shops; "“ 3) bombings of the homes or offices of anti-war leaders: '4) kidnapping or assassination of anti- _war leaders and activists; 5) fire bombing of vehicles and other -property belonging to anti-war ac- | * tivists. By November and December 1971, Busch continued, Godfrey had become . more ambitious: he wanted to acquire drone planes which would carry pay- . loads of high explosives and phospho- mus to be dropped on the demon- strators. In addition, Godfrey spoke of using similar air craft, loaded with TNT or C-4 plastique, to blow up Air . Force One and assassinate Nixon. The " + idea was to fly a bomb into the Presi- LHW 55000 DocTd: 32989523 * the shooting of dential jet as it landed either at Lind- bergh Field or at El] Toro Marine Base. Busch .claimed. that he had expressed horror at the suggestion and told God- frey he had lost his mind suggesting anything as insane as an attempt on the life of the President. Shortly there- after, Busch and Godfrey parted ways after the former grew suspicious that he was being set up to take the rap on Paula Tharp. By March 1972, he had left San Diego and has not yet returned. Even before Busch left the SAO, the “Wanted for Treason” leaflet was printed and distributed. Another former SAO member corroborates that in this same vestod—January-February, 1972—Godf.ey tried to find someone to build a phone that would carry a load of high explosives. (In addition, he was apparently trying to obtain another plane: for the purpose of gas- sing or bombing demonstrators on ‘ Page 266. Fiesta Island.) After Busch’s depar- ture, the SAO issued its April 1972, bulletin, which began with a quote at- tributed to Abraham Lincoln, “A ty- rant would not come to the United States from across the sea. If he comes, he'll ride down Pennsylvania’ Avenue from his inauguration and take up legal residence of the White House.” Then followed detailed in- structions on the manufacture of ex- plosives which might be used to de- stroy a large bridge (Tackwood’s scenario included the demolition of two bridges on and off of Fiesta Is- land) and on various methods of forced entry into buildings. . [ASINISTER PLOT?) _ ’ ‘as there a right-wing plot to VV a the President? Tackwood says so. Busch says that FBI informer Berry Godfrey talked about. it. The “Wanted for Treason” poster certainly indicated no loss of love be- tween the extreme right and the Presi- dent, and Godfrey was checking out the availability of drone planes. There are other curious, if admit- tedly inconclusive, clues as well: The day Nixon went to China, E. Howard Hunt was working as a public relations man on a Julie Nixon Eisenhower TV spot. He raged about the China trip, “We should not send people to China, we should send bombs to China.” This from a man supposedly involved in a secret scheme to re-elect the President by illegal means. Or take this item which appeared in the March 9, 1972, issue of the VY. Times (10 days after Nixon’s return from China): WAR ALERT SENT IN HOAX BY A COAST GUARDSMAN “New Orleans, March § (UPI)--An en- listed man standing watch sent a hoax message to ships at sea during Presi- dent Nixon’s visit to China, saying the President .had been assassinated - and the Vice President had declared World War IH, the Coast Guard revealed yes- terday. “The authorities said that the hoax message had not been taken seriously and that the man who sent it from a small Coast Guard station in Texas had been confined and was undergoing medical evaluation. “Tie message was sent February 27 by teletype to 22 ships in the Gulf of S.. There was no further story on this that [ have been able to find. If the hoax message had gone out to a Polaris submarine, Hunt might have gotten his . wish, that bombs would be sent to China. Then, the L.A. Times reported on July 13, 1973 that a former Minute- man had requested political asylum in Fiji, saying he had secret information on Watergate and feared assassination. All of this proves nothing, of course, but it suggests that the Dirty Tricks operation may have been much more complex than we have been led ~ to believe. Perhaps there was a plot to kill Nixon, and then again Godfrey's plot may have been a further hoax aimed at discrediting the left and the Democratic Party. What did Segretti discuss with Godfrey, and why and how did he meet Godfrey in the first place? How did it happen that the FBI financed a threat on the life of a Presi- dent (a crime which carries a penalty of up to five years in jail anda $1,000 fine)? In the past, the Secret Service has taken such threats very seriously. A check of the New York Times index shows that at least 11 people were-ar- rested between Januarv, 1972 an May 1973 for doing much less than Godfrey. Most seem to have been psychopaths or drunks, with no posi- tive plan—just verbal threats. But then there are other instances: Arthur Bremer’s Ottawa visit on Arril 13-14, 1972, for example, when he supposedly stalked Nixon. On May 39, three bombs demolished the tomb of ‘the father of the Shah of Iran an hour “before Nixon was scheduled to lay a wreath there. On August 11, a certain A.B. Topping was arrested in New York after paying an undercover agent $1,000 to kill Nixon. Topping, it developed, was well-to-do, of the American Nazi political persuasion, and interested in having the President killed the week after the pay-off. No trial has been held? And then in [até May 1973, one of Nixon’s helicopters went down in the Bahamas. It subse- quently came out that the President has three helicopters ready at all times and chooses which to use one minute before the Night. Watergate has uncovered an ad- ministration racked by factionalism. Under Hoover, the FBI was at odds with the White Huouse~to such a Veen Per TRL ag sees tHe

In addition, Nixon was having his difficulties with the leaders of the CIA, and James McCord wrote to John Caulfield at Christmas, 1972. that if Nixon pushed out Helms and © involved the CIA in Watergate, ‘“‘every tree in the forest will fall.” Could there have been other tensions as well? ; Were there elements which opposed Nixon for his policy of rapprochement with China and Russia, and which would have preferred; say, Spiro -_ Agnew as President? After returning from San Diego in July 1972, ‘acting FBI director, L. Patrick Gray, talked to Nixon and said: “Mr. President, there is some- thing I want to speak to you about. Dick Walters and | feel that people on your staff are trying to mortally wound you by using the CIA and the FBI...” His words may have carried greater import than any of us have - heretofore suspected. * &  * In August of this year, Godfrey reportedly admitted to the San Diego Door that there was a real plot to kill Nixon, He blames the plan on his erst- while cohort, Gary Lynn Davis. a. v % "5 ? ’ | : i . . q 7" a aie on" “os . . o -y . * Ty *% snare net “Ae ae reer ear oe areca rete OE cre eine aN Sree Coenen cn SOS _ = NMR etter tenet ane Ade oLynening

The key prosecution wit- ness was Howard Barry- Godfrey, a former San Diego - city fireman who was a paid FBI informant, assigned to infiltrate extremist right- wing groups. .

He further advised that in one of the Secret Army Organization trials, HOWARD BARRY GODFREY had testified that JERRY LYNN DAVIS had known about the weapons stolen from MARSHALL. MARSHALL could not recall whether GODFREY had testitied that he had actually at the time seen these weapons or had testified that he had _ merely been informed of these weapons by DAVIS. MARSHALL stated that he desired-to know whether or not the FBI had any intormation regarding his weapons and his primary interest was to recover his weapons. MARSHALL was advised that all information _ furnished by HOWARD BARRY GODFREY to the FBI regarding violations of local or state statutes had been disseminated to the appropriate local or state agency, and that he should contact the San Diego County Sheritt's Oftice as that agency would have jurisdiction over the ‘burglary which occurred at his residence. He said he had been in contact with the San Diego County Sheritt's Oftice, and had been advised that his weapons had not been recovered and that the Sherift's Office had no information regarding the whereabouts of these weapons. MARSHALL further advised that he is aware of the location of the Gunsmoke Ranch, but does not trequent this location, and again advised that he has never met any ~ of the persons aftiliated with the Secret Army Organization except RICHARD FLEURY. He further advised that FLEURY has a considerable number of weapons at his residence, including shot guns, ritles, and automatic pistols.

The process is that the U.S, Treasurer has a supply of unsigned engraved U.S. Govern- ment Bonds which when the Fed “buys bonds™ are taken to the U.S. Treasurer who signs them, retims them and then the Fed “buys” them by running off on a printing “press an equivalent amount of fiat paper iadeiied “Treasury Notes” sich as used by the public. These notes are no longer “re- deemable in lawful money of the U.S.” as they used to be because there is none. Only a relatively small amount of illegally debased coinage. These. not2zs have no value- being merely paper with ink on them. Meanwhile, the American Public pays in- terest on the U.S. Government Bonds to the tune of over $15,000,000,000 (Fifteen Billion Dollars) every year. - ~ That certainly is not a manufactured book- . _ keeping entry.
