AUTHOR'S NOTE: I found this information on a different website (the address of which I will soon post). I can not take credit for compiling this information.

All Citizens are encouraged to download this textfile. Print it out and pass it around. See what other people feel.

The following is a list of alleged and/or suspected C.I.A. "front" companies, corporations, or organizations.

The list was compiled by Dr. Julius Mader of East Berlin. Although Dr. Mader claims to be an independent researcher, there is reason to believe he is employed by the Soviet intelligence service, i.e., the KGB Mader's work is printed in many expected Communist bloc intelligence journals and when he lists a group or corporation there is good reason to check them out...which is what everyone reading this list should do in the various localities. Because an organization is listed doesn't necessarily mean everyone in the organization is Agency...but they may have been influenced, supported or indirectly controlled by the C.I.A. For example, CBS-TV is listed...CBS once had interlocking directorates with the Rand Corporation.

For the first time anywhere in the world, a documented list (alphabetically arranged) provides information on over 500 camouflaged or subsidized organizations of the US secret intelligence network on five continents.

1. Camouflaged companies and non-governmental, camouflaged institutions directly controlled by the C.I.A. and other secret organizations of the U.S.A.
2. Organizations, foundations, publishing houses, editor's offices and institutions which have been, or are still, subsidized fully or in part by the C.I.A.
3. Concerns, companies, foundations, societies, associations, universities and other educational institutions, legal firms, news agencies, publishers and editorial boards which have been infiltrated by one-time leading officers, officials or employees of civilian and military secret service organizations, and,
4. Some U.S. governmental agencies used by the C.I.A. for intelligence purposes or which have been infiltrated with "official" sanction.
(Only the names of newspaper and other publications are listed in quotation marks.)

The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States (CIA) is one of several organizations responsible for gathering and evaluating foreign intelligence information vital to the security
of the United States. It is also charged with coordinating the
work of other agencies in the intelligence community-- including
the NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
It was established by the National Security Act of 1947, replac-
ing the wartime Office of Strategic Services. Its first director
was Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter.
The CIA's specific tasks include: advising the president and
the NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL on international developments; con-
ducting research in political, economic, scientific, technical,
military, and other fields; carrying on counterintelligence ac-
tivities outside the United States; monitoring foreign radio and
television broadcasts; and engaging in more direct forms of IN-
TELLIGENCE GATHERING.
Throughout its history the CIA has seldom been free from con-
troversy. In the 1950s, at the height of the cold war and under
the direction of Allen Welsh DULLES, its activities expanded to
include many undercover operations. It subsidized political
leaders in other countries; secretly recruited the services of
trade-union, church, and youth leaders, along with businesspeo-
ple, journalists, academics, and even underworld leaders; set up
radio stations and news services; and financed cultural organiza-
tions and journals.
After the failure of the CIA-sponsored BAY OF PIGS INVASION of
Cuba in 1961, the agency was reorganized. In the mid-1970s a Sen-
ate Select Committee and a Presidential Commission headed by Nel-
son Rockefeller investigated charges of illegal CIA activities.
Among other things, they found that the CIA had tried to assas-
sinate several foreign leaders, including Fidel CASTRO of Cuba.
It had tried to prevent Salvador ALLENDE from winning the 1970
elections in Chile and afterward had worked to topple him from
power.
Between 1950 and 1973 the CIA had also carried on extensive
mind-control experiments at universities, prisons, and hospitals.
In 1977, President Jimmy Carter directed that tighter restric-
tions be placed on CIA clandestine operations. The CIA was prohi-
bited the following year from making secret contracts with
universities and other nongovernment institutions. The use of in-
trusive surveillance methods, such as wiretapping and opening of
mail, against U.S. citizens and resident aliens would require
presidential authorization and approval by the attorney general
on a case-by-case basis.
Late in the 1970s, however, fears began to arise that the res-
traints had undermined the CIA and compromised U.S. security.
The failure to anticipate the fall of the shah of Iran or the
capture of the U.S. embassy in that country in 1979 sharpened
such fears. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan and CIA director
William J. Casey pledged to bolster the CIA's effectiveness,
although the new administration assured the public of its opposi-
tion to domestic spying by the agency. During the Reagan adminis-
tration, the CIA has come under increasing fire for its activi-
ties in Central America. In 1984 the agency was accused of
directing the mining of Nicaragua's harbors without keeping
Congress informed; the U.S. Senate and International Court of
Justice both condemned the action. Further controversy developed
when it was learned that the CIA had produced a handbook for Ni-
caraguan rebel Contras giving instruction in political assassina-
tion and guerrilla warfare.
