i for any right-wing extremist group. When asked by James kK. Warner ir ae Be ecien a Report by(sendman_] Qisrirel) Breen 1, 1975 SUBJECT: Ron Eddy} George Mitchell Hoover, Ie It has been ascertained that at this time Ron Fddy of Poway 4s not interested in trying to form or 1éad any type of security force of Los Angeles (via Dennis Loso of Escondido) if he would do this, Eddy 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, naay 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- | Nh 25909 al picious are Mickey Wakefield, Ray Wilson and Gerald Smith. Said Eddy, "Those three men dropped out of the thing and so I figure they're okay - but you can bet that the fink is “gtill in there pushing". Ioso s2id that the whereabouts of people like ‘Barry Godfrey should be learned and they ‘should be telephoned and intimidated. Eddy said he thinks such intimidations would be a waste of time and that people like Godfrey should be killed. - ‘Miekey Wakefield of San Marcos went along with Eddy's. suggestion. Ron Eady also mentioned 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 pays he would be very suspicious of anyone who is. He is also somewhat suspicious 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 Fnight saved his federal job in the face of his continued Nazi activities. Eddy feels that ar: regular rightist extremist who stays on with the Nazi Party now must 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 showed Zidy some pictures and Blides 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 Dog dda AP38952 44; Page, P92 +
a en eet | Bw 55009 Docld:32989524 Page 203 } “Page 2 George Mitchell Hoover ; Here is 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 piaces set at the table which were in honor of four men whom they hold to be absent heroes, These four men were Joe lhicCar _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 arrest, 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 NCC people do not réfer to Hoover by. \ : his correct name. For some reason they all call him Mickey Hoover. “fhat is about all for now. “I hope this’ will be of some help © to you... . | 1. | _ iaten na

ee .  _Becem er 9, 1974 +. SUBJECTS: NCC pickegy) “sorder; thoughts on NCC; te ounds. Here is some more information regarding the National Christian Crusade picket which took place at the U.S.-México border in San Ysidro on December &, 1974. Of the 16 men who took part in this uniformed picket, 10 were fron the San Diego erea ‘and 6 were from Los zngeles, It was mistakenly stated in yesterday's report on this . demonstre ation that 10 of the | men vere identified. In reality, 11 were fully identif:: 1 partielly identified, and 4 unidentified. The 4 unidentified were all from Lui. “Also, the members of this picket were divided into two contingents, los angels and San Diego. Connanding the San Diego group was Tom Metager of alibrook ang in charge of the L.A. men was Rick Norton. Also, Norton was in overall command of the al 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 denonstration, Norton . conducted a very brief prayer. - Y As to ny thor. shts on the HCC, I feel thet this group has the potential to “ eomnand mach more support from ¢ a broader base of people than most of the right-w ving extremist groups. It seems significant to this informant thet men like Vie Walton 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 noteworthy thet the NCC was able to draw supporters from so many other extremist groups. Taking part in this demonstration were elements from the Nazi Party, the Tax Rebellion Committee, the Netional States Rights Party, the Ministr of Christ Church and the old Secret Army Organization. Also, this group does not automatically get adverse responses from the public | in the streets. Indeed, many passersby indicated their support for the group's aims _in the demonstration of the ath, The leadership is nore intelligent and more _ approachable than that of groups like the NSWPP or MGC, They more easily establish ime me my abe he re as, a good rapport with the public in general and are not so blunt in stating their reciser., eed one Pat) se

Rw : ° oo During the last two years this informant has spent a great deal time studying the tactics, personalities and stated goals of both: i National Socialist “White People's Party and the Ministry of Christ eh. Until recently I considered the NSWPP tc be more of a threat ithe 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 HOC to be a far greater lace than the NSWPP is likely ever to become. _ The main reason for my change of relative attitudes toward. these 1g groups has been the increased preoccupation of certain MCC members. h Posse Comitatus. Aliso known as the Christian Posse Association, _ ig organization serves as the paramilitary arm of the MCC, The goals its ‘most ardent activists seem to be. very similar to those of the is but their tactics are quite different. Instead of Wrapping thenm- ves in the Swastika, they uphold the Christian Cross as their symbol. ike the head-on street clashes which many of the Nazis seem to relish, tbers of Posse Comitatus ‘generally tend to prefér being secretive and indestine ain-their operations. “They generally - seem to fancy themselves be revolutionaries and as fanatical as some of them appear, I believe potential exists for the Posse to become a truly revolutionary group. Dennis Loso Was at one time a mejor financial supporter of the iPP, He has renounced thas GYOuy since 1972 but not because of its "po ses but only because he considers it to be ineffective. He is now ledicated supporter of the HCC and its nations. . leader, William Gale. so almost never misses an HCC meeting in San Diego, frequently visits * Glendale meetings of NCC, and more recently attended the MCC seminer Hanas sa Ranch in Mariposa. If Loso is not already an. officer within bse Conitatus, then the potential certainly exists for him to become « oso is also an admirer of Jack Fredericks and was just elected to San Diego County Central Committee of the American Independent Party. Welt Kendall, another ex-Nazi supporter who has turned to the MCC, also a potential activist for Posse Comitatus. Kendall attends perhaps 4 0f Gale's meetings in San Diego and is definitely not bothered by { prospect of using violence to attain political goals, He once sug- pred that Sheriff John Duffy of San Diego County should be assassinated. Jerry Busch, a.k.a. Mark Roberts, is another man to watch.” He GWwansoand Dédtel: aznsataty Badkotifand stress es the importance of MCC members © enone eet oo oe SS cnaletetber Or toemre

Busch once stated his desire to murder Deputy District Attorney Hewicker of San Diego. Busch is very suspicious and paranoid of everyone,.. “Stan McDade, Former Secret Army Organisation affilic te, is definitely in the Fosse Comitatus picture. He occasionally attends KCC meetiags * ‘in San Diego. A friend of George Hoover, McDade made a feeble write-in pampaign for sheriff against Jéhn Duffy but it never amounted to much. Sbout the only mugpest he ro-soivea came from affiliates of the Posse. .Joe and Harriet Brinker are almost sure to be members of Posse Comitatus. Long timé supporters -of the MCC, they ‘never miss a meeting Dr other NCC activity and have often driven long distances across country just to participate in such events. Harriet is definitely the brains of this pair, In spite of their very radical political ‘st tance, however , Ehis informant does not consider either one of them to be capable of.a George Metzser seems to be very deeply i nvolved in Posse Conitatus. @ is an organizer, a "take charge" man and a pretty good speaker both . in private and before groups. He is not dynamic but speaks carefully, eliberately and with an air of sincerity and believebility. Certainly is actions should be observed. a . . Joe Reedy is @ close associate of Metzger. He seldom has much to say and appears merely to be a faithful follower who would be willing 46 go along with whatever the others decide.

So Fm, Vie Walton is. another figure who is likely to have a hand in the organization of Posse Comitatue in San Diego County. This attorney, in this informant's opinion, presents no threat of physical violence whatever but he serves as a sort of liaison man between the various right-wing extremist groups in the Southern California area. He is intelligent and seems to be fairly well off financially. Phroug gh him many others can be reached ag Walton has been involved with people in “the NSUPP,. the Ecc, the? SAO, Comparet ™s ‘group ‘and virtually any other extremist outfit in the right-wing which one might think of in this Rast -~ Com ” a i hope this report will give you some idea as to the current stati of Posse Comitatus in San Diego County. At least I believe it to be a tn fairly accurate description of some of the prime-movers of Posse Comitatu 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 establish itself as a force to be reckoned with and to consolidate whatever power it might gain, 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 and to relay the information to you as accurately as can be done. One thing seems to be’ very certain and that is that San Diego County seenis to be extremely fertile soil for the flourishing of'a group like Posse Comitatr That is all for now. : | MW 55009 Doold: 32989524 Page 220 4

A fellow by the name of ‘DENNIS was inside with a 23-channel, fivewatt 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 Barid 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. . ; a | 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 éomments and corrections ‘as he went. . -He said, now I will read-~follow this and read as mucti as possible that seems relevant. He read fromthe article: "But the public meetings are only- part of the 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

According - _. to NICKEY WAKEFIELD who.was sitting next to me during this meeting, DAVIS had not, as far as he knew, ever been to a San Diego meeting. oo . Another quote Colonel CALE made: “Identity is organized 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 tational tape ‘groups, the Christian Posse Association groups, and the ~ | amateur radio network are the primary communication links of GALE's group. a . Another quote Colonel GALE made from the e 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 NW 55009 DocTd:32989524 Page 225 | ; Se a *

Colonel GALE- indicated: support from and for law enforcement--indicated _he has an assistant pastor in Glendale who has an important | position in the Los Angeles County Sheriff" s Office, and wt 55009 Doold:32989594 Page 226. that he claims support from a number of law enforcement areas. Another quote he indicated: "4s for, GALE, he pretends to be 4 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' Se 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

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' 8, that particular. Ranger’ s arrest, was an- entrapment and an ‘umfortunate 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 _ fonnection 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 Worid War, II in the counter~ insurgency staff," and it goes on. But Colonel GALE corrected this counter-insurgency information.

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. . - Actually, one of the things he indicated, too, in this discussion of his was that there is a lot of aifti- culty getting different right wing groups to cooperate 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 pris = ‘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. 4 DocTd: 32989524 Page 2265
That covers much of his comments at that particu- a 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.

Along with those blank pieces- of: paper, JOE BRINKER had a throw-away on the tax revolt. The heading was "Sunny .

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 scale 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 fF + + 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 TT See 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, Le 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 Island in Mission Bay, San Diego. All sorts of may- hem was supposed to ovcur. Bombs were to be smuggled into Convention Center in hollow furniture, which was al- ww ee Amt mmmenanne oe Richard Popkin taught philosophy at the University of California, San Diego and now teaches at Washington University, St. Louis.

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), though 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} neredible as the Tackwood scenario seemed back in 1971, it sounded less outlandish to San Diego radicals 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 Bohmer, 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,.1971, 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 information (Continued on page 56}

(Rumored to have a California hideout. } - CRIMINAL RECORD RICHARD NIXON (alias Cry-Babv Nixon, alieas Tricky Dicky) is an expert in disguises and bas successfully passed himself off as an anti-communist in the past. He may again try using this disguise if pressed-for votes in 1972. Saying one thing, then doing the opposite is Nixon's MOA. While he campaigned in 1943 on a platform of curtailing socialism he has in fact done more to establish a socialistic dictutorship than either of the last two Democrat administra- dons. His economic policies kave continued to enrich Big Industrialists while rising prices . and higher taxes have all but reduced the average worker to a state of financial slavery. This criminal has even mide vicious attueks on small children (forced busing to acheive "racial balance") and has caused the destruction of local school systems. WARNING: Nixon suffers from an EMPEROR COMPLEX and beeomus extremely dangerous when criticized. CAUTION Trickery and deceit are Nixon's trade-marks. At the present time Nixon and his chief hench- _ man HENRY (CZAR) KISSINGER are engaged in forming an alliance with another gang of - " criminals, the Red Chinese. ‘The RED CHINA GANG have slaughtered an estiniated fifty + million of their own people since coming to power. ‘This Godless horde of barbarians killed thousands of Americans in the Korean War (shooling captured soldiers and starving and tor- turing prisoners of war), ‘The RED CHENA GANG have been supplying the NORTH VIETNAM~ | ESE BANDITS with weapons und ballets to kill American sokdiers in another no-win war in Vietnam, The very fact that Nixon is dealing with these ARCH F enough to convict him of trenson, DO NOC LET THIS CRIMINAL STEAL YOUR FREEDOM, DEMAND US ARREST BY PROPER AUTHORITIES AND HIS TRIAL FOR THE CRIME OF WIGH TREASON, . . .

Oni January 6, 1972, cross-hair stickers (the symbol of the SAO) were placed on the doors of three San Diego Bohmer. Then, an anonymous caller . telephoned Bohmer’s residence to say, - “This time we left a sticker, next time Lot we may leave a grenade. This is the tas SAO.” 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- lowed 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. 56 RAMPARTS HW OS5009 Doold: 32989524 Page,"240 "State College professors, including - ra b 7 . . * woos * (SECRET ARMY-USA] he SAO,’it seems, grew out of the demise of the Minutemen. 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--wnder  Nixon’s regime. ‘ we aa The initial SAO documents speak ‘ 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 opéerations—combat teams, organiza- tion, transportation, travel procedures, weapons and equipment, training les- sons, intelligence work, security, etc. They say that the country has entered Re . we * ’ rateone ee “Stage 1": 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 IH “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.” Oo - 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—Jérry Lynn 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 information 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- 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.
ah 0 ade si A . _ [THE FBI CONNECTION] June 1972 bombing of the Guild Theatre led to the group’s fall * from grace. A former Birchite named . S thrived in San Diego until the * 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 local fireman, Godfrey admitted he had worked for the FBI since early 1967 as an under- cover agent. He did it, he said, because “I 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 group in San Diego, he helped start --—and run the SAO in November 1971. iw 55009 Doold: 32989524 + 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- “ly 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 eminences grises of the operation. During the Yakopec trial, Godfrey admitted that he had driven the car from ‘which another SAO member, George 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 cory.” 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 I 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,.Texus, 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- flammatory text about the President’s Page, 241 allegedly treasonous activities. On the hunch that the leaflet might have some connection with the assassination, the Warren Commission sent Secret Ser- vicé agents to track down its author and printer. They worked from late November 1963, to May 1964, 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.” Kiause 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 came __ this 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 feast one oc- casion,” in a quiet conversation aside. The Segretti connection is important in itself; it is particularly interesting in- sofar as~according to Busch’s account —Sergretti was in touch with SAO = tern rm

' while contacting his old college chums “Chapin and Strachan in June , . 2) bombing of the 1971, 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 i in October 1971, were: 1) 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- 2 . loads of high explosives and phospho- rms 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- 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 " * the shooting of 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 rormer SAO member corroborates that in this same se,?od—January-February, 1972—Godf.ey tried to find someone to build a pkne 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 _-NW_55009  Docld: 32999524 Page 242 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- tant 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. . [A SINISTER PLOT?] _ as there a right-wing plot to kill 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 N.Y. Times (10 days after Nixon’s return from China): WAR ALERT SENT IN HOAX BY A COAST GUARDSMAN “New Orleans, March 8 (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 III, 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 megicai evaluation. “Tre message was sent February 27 by teletype to 22 ships in the Gulf of Mexico.” . There was no further story on this that I 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 Presj- 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 January, 1972 and 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 April 13-14, 1972, for example, when he supposedly stalked Nixon. On May 30, 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 late 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 flight. Watergate has uncovered an ad- ministration racked by factionalism. Under Hoover, the FBI was at odds with the White House~to such a

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 ot 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.

MARSHALL further advised that GENEVIEVE FLEURY in con- versation with other neighbors which have been related to MARSHALL, has indicated that she thinks her husband, RICHARD FLEURY, is planning to do something “out of the ordinary". MARSHALL said he did not know what she meant by out of the ordinary, and further advised-that he has had . no direct conversation with her, but has been -hearing these rumors from other people, and he expressed the opinion that FLEURY's departure from the United States may be what these rumors refer to. He said that GENEVIEVE . FLEURY has indicated to neighbors that RICHARD FLEURY thinks that she will accompany him to South America, ' but, in fact, she does not plan to go with him if he does | leave this country. | re MARSHALL advised that he is not on friendly terms with FLEURY, in that he somewhat suspects FLEURY of burglarizing his home, and he feels that FLEURY does not trust him. He said he would relay any information regarding FLEURY's activities to this office, but said that because of his relationship with FLEURY, he would not bee in a position to actively seek information regarding FLEURY's plans.

Nixon’s highly publicized trips to Red C China and Soviet Russia. The gencral public, bemused and confused by an avalanche of promotional publicity featuring world peace as the ultimate goal, was cajoled into accepting the bland assurances of thé Kissinger-Nixon team.

The process is that the US. Treasurer has a supply of unsigned engraved U.S, Govern- ment Bonds which when the Fed “buys boads™ are taken to the U.S. Treasurer who signs them, retums them and then the Fed “buys” them by running off on a printing press an equivalent amount of fiat paper iavelied “Treasury Notes” such 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. notzs 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.. - oe , That certainly is not a manufactured book- _ keeping entry.
